NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 1 INTRODUCTION On behalf of The Chemours Company, FC LLC, (Chemours), Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C., (Geosyntec) conducted the 2023 Year-1 annual post -construction wetland and streams monitoring assessments on a portion of Chemours' Fayetteville Works property following installation of the barrier wall. Specifically, the assessment was conducted on a 137.6-acre portion of Chemours property in Bladen and Cumberland Counties, North Carolina (Wetlands Investigation Area). A field wetlands and waterbodies delineation of the Wetlands Investigation Area was previously conducted by Geosyntec in September 2020, followed by a baseline monitoring assessment conducted in October 2022 prior to the completion of a groundwater barrier wall and operation of extraction wells. A baseline monitoring report was submitted in January 2023, in accordance with the Wetland Monitoring Plan Addendum approved by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) in September 2022. The 2023 Year-1 monitoring assessment is described herein. The Wetlands Investigation Area is located in southern Cumberland and northern Bladen Counties, approximately 10 miles south of the town of Fayetteville (Figure 1), wholly within the Chemours Fayetteville Works Site (Site) property. The Wetlands Investigation Area is bound to the north by Willis Creek to the east by the Cape Fear River, to the west by Chemours' Fayetteville Works facility, and on the south by Glengerry Road/Bill Hall Road. Current land use includes woodlands, industrial facilities, on -going remediation projects, and access roads. Since the 2020 wetland delineation effort an area of forest has been cleared for the barrier wall, barrier wall road, and construction area directly west of the Wetlands Investigation Area. The cleared area supports movement of heavy equipment and vehicular traffic, and includes the construction of groundwater monitoring wells, in ground utilities, and regrading of soil. The barrier wall installation began in December 2022 and was completed in June 2023. The 137.6-acre Wetlands Investigation Area (Figure 2) is composed of mixed hardwood/pine forest habitat, monitoring wells, a river intake water lift station, and several access roads. Forested habitat within the investigation area is primarily mid- to late successional which appears to have naturally regenerated on the Wetlands Investigation Area following historic logging activities. Delineation of the areas shown in Figures 2 — 3 was completed in September 14 to 17, 2020'. The ordinary high water mark was not delineated on the eastern shore of the Cape fear river and the western bank was delineated to the lateral extent of Federal jurisdiction for Waters of U.S. This annual monitoring assessment was conducted to assess potential changes in wetlands and streams in the vicinity of the barrier wall project. Data collected will provide for future evaluation of potential wetland and stream impacts, should the implementation of the barrier wall result in unanticipated negative hydrologic modifications to the wetlands and streams identified in the ' Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. 2020. Waters Of The U.S. Findings Report Chemours Fayetteville Works Project Bladen and Cumberland Counties, North Carolina. Dated October 2020. TR1156 —2023 Annual Monitoring Report I January-2024 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 September 2020 wetland delineation. A determination of potential impacts will be made after completion of the 5 year monitoring assessment, in 2027 with a re -delineation of the Wetlands Investigation Area. The assessment focused on a detailed characterization of the wetlands and streams previously identified in the Project Area by Geosyntec. Monitoring events will continue to be conducted for 4 years, a total of 5 years following implementation of the barrier wall, consistent with the permit modification request submitted to the USACE by GEOServices, LLC on February 9, 2022 and the addendum to NCDEQ revised on September 15, 2022. If the performance standards defined below are met after the fifth year in 2027, Chemours will coordinate with the USACE and request to be released from further monitoring requirements. Post -construction monitoring will focus on changes (if any) in hydrology and its effects to the wetland and stream habitats within the Wetlands Investigation Area while also assessing the areal extent of the wetlands and overall functionality of the wetland habitat. 1.1 Performance Standards The performance standards for this monitoring plan are as follows as prescribed in coordination from the USACE received in September 2022: No non -wetland determinations at assigned wetland monitoring point during the monitoring period. Specifically, the USACE Routine Wetland Data Forms collected at each wetland monitoring point will be required to satisfy the three wetland parameters (hydrophytic vegetation, wetland hydrology, and hydric soils). 2. Maintain an average areal extent of 90 percent (%) of the delineated wetland boundaries, as tabulated by acres unit measurement, following 5 years of monitoring. Groundwater gauge data shall indicate groundwater within 12 inches (1 feet [ft]) of soil surface to meet the USACE primary hydrology indicator for high water table for at least 5% hydroperiod (12.15 consecutive days) each year during the growing season. There are multiple criteria that can be used to determine the presence of wetland. While the specific indicators may change from year to year, as long as wetland hydrology, hydric vegetation, and hydric soils are present, the area is still considered a wetland. In the upcoming monitoring years, per the monitoring plan, data related to the above performance standards will be collected. These data will help inform the evaluation of wetland conditions. In 2027 a re -delineation will be conducted to determine wetland boundary changes, if any. As it relates to wetland hydrology and performance Standard 93, there are multiple indicators of wetland hydrology and not all are required to be present. For a determination of wetland hydrology to exist either one of the seventeen possible primary indicators (high water table, saturation, water marks on trees, drift deposits, algal mat or crust, etc.) or two of the eleven possible secondary indicators (surface soil cracks, drainage patterns, moss trim lines, crawfish burrows, FAC neutral test, etc.) must be present. TR1156 —2023 Annual Monitoring Report 2 January-2024 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 Since the groundwater gages were installed along the edges of the wetland boundary during the barrier wall and groundwater extraction remedy installation there is no prior data to evaluate if performance Standard 93 was ever met at these locations prior to the barrier wall installation. These data are useful in informing the understanding of hydrology at the site, but may not be suitable for making a final determination of impact. TR1156 —2023 Annual Monitoring Report 3 January-2024 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 2 DESKTOP REVIEW A desktop review was conducted to compile reference materials on climatic and hydraulic conditions at the Wetlands Investigation Area in coordination with the monitoring event, as climatic events (droughts, floods, etc.) can often impact qualitative wetland characteristics. Data from the National Weather Service's Fayetteville Area, NC climate station located approximately 10 miles north of the project area, U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) drought monitor, the nearest USGS river gauge for the Cape Fear River at the W.O. Huske Dam (Station ID 02105500) (Appendix C), the USACE's Antecedent Precipitation Tool (APT) (Appendix D), and available groundwater wells were assessed prior to the 2023 field efforts. Stream surveys for the semi-annual monitoring period were conducted during the beginning of the growing season on May 8 and 9, 2023. The 2023 Year-1 annual monitoring field surveys were conducted September 11-13, 2023 during a period in which the region had received below normal rainfall amounts for the month and year, summarized in Table 1 below using data from the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, North Carolina Climate Station (Cooperative Observer Program [COOP] Site 313017). The rainfall events prior to the field surveys recorded 0.19 and 0.33 on September 9 and 10, respectively. Considering the slight amount of recent rainfall but lower than normal total rainfall recorded for the year and month to date periods, Geosyntec delineators observed surface hydrology to be normal with no abnormal stormwater influences affecting typical surface hydrology. No high-water or flooding conditions were observed within the Cape Fear River or its tributaries. A review of regional drought conditions from the website www.droughtmonitor.gov indicated no drought conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 12, 2023. Table I Rainfall at Fayetteville Area Weather Station Furthermore, based on the results of the climate analysis using the APT (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated output for the project area was experiencing "normal conditions - 13" value for September 12, 2023 with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30-year normal range (see attached graphic in Appendix D). Site -specific hydrology conditions for each wetland are discussed in further detail on each wetland data form (Appendix A). Five of the groundwater wells previously installed by Chemours exist within or directly adjacent to delineated wetlands and were used for the desktop review. Depths to groundwater were not measured during annual monitoring, but are measured by Geosyntec quarterly for other projects. The groundwater level readings at the dates closest to spring and fall surveys were used to inform understanding of groundwater within the monitoring area. The closest well readings to the spring monitoring period were on either May 8 or 23, and July 5 or September 21 for the Fall monitoring period. Groundwater elevation at these wells is shown below in Table 2. Groundwater levels were TR1156 —2023 Annual Monitoring Report 4 January-2024 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 recorded quarterly in 2023 and were the closest records in proximity to the wetlands (Table 2). Relative to baseline conditions established in 2022, groundwater elevations were below the previously recorded baseline values at three wells (LTW-05, PIW-41), and LIW-8D) and at similar groundwater elevations at two wells (LTW-01 and PIW-3D) during the 2023 monitoring periods. The locations of these wells are shown in Figure 3.

Huske Lock measured between 29-30 ft (NAVD882) during the time of Fall 2023 surveys, 8-9 ft below flood stage. The most recent high-water crests were 41.24 ft, 47.32 ft, 39.17 ft, 38.71 ft, and 47.27 ft all between January and March 2021. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data at the W.O. Huske Lock states minor flood stage begins at 37.97 ft and that the adjacent lowlands begin to flood at 40.97 ft. During the field event the river was 9 ft below flood stage and 12 ft below where "Flood waters will affect lowlands" as defined by the NOAA3, and therefore at least 11 ft lower in elevation than the survey area. Based on these values, the Cape Fear River water levels did not appear to be influencing groundwater levels at the time of measurement and therefore the levels reflected by the on -site wells are interpreted to be reflective of normal conditions. USGS gauge height for the Cape Fear River at W.O. Huske Lock are documented in the exhibit below. W. O. Huske Lock and Dam levels are not reported for the Spring field event as only streams were monitored. 2 USGS gages are reported in NAD83, subtract 4.03 to get NAVD88. 3 https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?gage=stpn7&wfo=ilm TR1156 -2023 Annual Monitoring Report 5 January-2024 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C.

TR1156 —2023 Annual Monitoring Report 6 January-2024 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 3 WETLAND MONITORING METHODOLOGY The Year-1 annual monitoring event for wetlands was conducted by two experienced wetland biologists, that included a certified Professional Wetland Scientist and a Certified Wildlife Biologist, from Geosyntec on September 11-13, 2023. The event involved a quantitative assessment using the USACE Routine Wetland Data Form in accordance with the "2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region — Version 2.0" at each monitoring point and a visual evaluation of the physiognomy state of the wetland and its surface hydrology. In addition, the Wetlands Investigation Area was surveyed for indications of potential negative wetland plant stressors (e.g., lack of growth/vigor, mortality, upland/pioneer plant competition) potentially unrelated to natural climatic or storm -related damage. Additionally, North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM) forms, Division of Water Resources (DWR) Stream Identification Forms, and ground water (GW) gage data were utilized to supplement the monitoring analysis. A global positioning system (GPS) receiver capable of submeter accuracy was used for navigating to the wetland/upland data points and along the perimeter of the wetland boundaries. The location of each monitoring point is identified in Figure 2. Twenty-two locations, corresponding with the existing USACE Wetland Routine Data Form plots utilized for the 2022 baseline monitoring (16 wetland, 6 upland), were revisited. Photographs were taken at each monitoring plot in each cardinal direction, along with a photo of the soil profile. Baseline USACE datasheets were evaluated against conditions observed during the Year-1 annual monitoring data collection effort, any changes were recorded. The results are further discussed in Section 4.2.1. NCWAM forms were completed at a central location within each of the 7 wetlands in accordance with the NCWAM User Manual for the baseline monitoring report. These forms characterize each wetland and can potentially allow for earlier detection of more minute changes, specifically to species composition and the condition/health of vegetation. The purpose of the NCWAM form is to provide an accurate, consistent, rapid, observational, and scientifically based field method to determine the level of function of a wetland relative to reference conditions for each wetland type in North Carolina. NCWAM forms are not used to determine wetland/upland status or USACE jurisdictional status. The 2022 baseline NCWAM forms were compared against 2023 conditions, further discussed in Section 4.2.2. Stream determinations in North Carolina are made using the standardized "Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins" utilizing the DWR Stream Identification Forms. Forms were completed for 14 stream monitoring points within the Wetland Investigation Area in May 2023 and September 2023 by a Geosyntec biologist who has completed a Surface Water Identification and Certification (SWITC) course. The results were compared to 2022 baseline data, further discussed in Section 4.2.3. Although the barrier wall was not completed by the time of the early growing season stream survey, it had been installed across all stream features by the Fall monitoring event. TR1156 —2023 Annual Monitoring Report 7 January-2024 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 To monitor for immediate changes in surface hydrology that might not be detected by changes in soil and vegetation, five pairs of wetland groundwater gauges (Infinity pressure water level data loggers by Infinities USA) were installed in September 2022 to a minimum depth of 15 inches below surface using USACE technical specifications outlined in the June 2005 "Technical Standard for Water -Table Monitoring of Potential Wetland Sites, ERDC TN-WRAP-05-2". Each pair consists of one gauge within the wetland, and one within the upland nearby for comparison of water tables. These gauges are operated in accordance with the approved Monitoring Plan and Addendum for evaluation of Performance Standard 93 to record groundwater within 12 inches for at least 5% of the growing season. Groundwater gauge data was examined in a tabular format and the longest period of groundwater within 12" of the soil surface during the growing season (March 16 - November 14), based on the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Bladen County Soil, is reported . Each of the wetland gauges must meet a minimum hydroperiod as described in the Performance Standard in Section 1.1. Results are discussed in Section 4.2.4. TR1156 —2023 Annual Monitoring Report 8 January-2024 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 4 FINDINGS 4.1 Existing Conditions Seven wetlands were previously delineated within the Wetlands Investigation Area downgradient and east of the barrier wall construction area, above the Cape Fear River or Willis Creek. The datapoints and their respective wetlands they represent are presented below in Table 3. Ten streams were previously delineated with the Wetlands Investigation Area. Each of the streams was given a baseline NCDEQ 4.11 stream form score in 2022. Most were scored as Perennial. Stream 5-Up and Stream 6 were scored as intermittent, while Stream 10 scored Intermittent -ephemeral. 4.2 Year-1 Annual Monitoring — May and September 2023 This section describes the results of data collection conducted in the 2023 Year-1 annual monitoring effort. Geosyntec documented conditions observed during the assessments at: • The 22 established USACE wetland and upland datapoints • Seven NCWAM form monitoring locations • Bi-annual survey for each stream utilizing DWR stream forms (May and September) Additionally, Geosyntec collected groundwater data from the installed groundwater gauges (Appendix E). The findings of these observations are described in the following sub -sections and discussed in Section 5. 4.2.1 USACE Wetland and Upland Datapoints The datapoints identified during the 2022 baseline report were revisited during this effort. Observed changes are indicated in Table 3 below. Data forms from 2023 are attached in Appendix A.

NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 Site conditions were observed to be relatively unchanged at most datapoints since the 2022 baseline survey. Small changes in canopy cover due to windfall, likely from recent storms, were observed at datapoints 4, 5, 5U, and 8. Drier conditions were observed at datapoints lU, 5U3, 7, 11D, and 11; a result of reduced baseflow from upgradient seeps following the installation of the barrier wall. Observations of soil characteristics at each datapoint remained consistent with previous conditions. All wetland datapoints continue to meet the three criteria for classification as a wetland, as defined by USACE in Section 3 of this report. 4.2.2 NCWAM Form Monitoring Locations NCWAM forms from the 2022 baseline report were compared to September 2023 conditions for annual monitoring. Changes that were observed are summarized in Table 4. The NCWAM score of each wetland is outlined in Table 4. The NCWAM score is generated from the values for each wetland component (hydrology, water quality, and habitat) relative to wetlands of the same type. Results for each component and sub -component are further detailed in Appendix A. Table 4 NCWAM Score for Each Wetland Wetland 00 Type 2022 NCWAM 2023 NCWAM 2023 Observed Changes MM Score Score NCWAMI (W1) PFO Low Low None NCWAM2 (W2) PFO High High None NCWAM3 (W3) PFO High Medium Overbank flow is altered Evidence of isolated surface NCWAM4 (W4) PFO Medium Low discharge into wetland at the monitoring point, but the majority of the wetland is not impacted NCWAM6-PEM (W6) PEM Medium Medium None NCWAM6-PFO (W6) PFO High High None NCWAMI (W7) PFO High High None Notes: *NCWAM scores indicate the overall function of a wetland relative to wetlands of the same type in North Carolina. A high score indicates the wetland is functioning near reference conditions, low indicates not near reference function. No significant deviations from the 2022 baseline conditions were observed. However, a change to a single question at NCWAM3 and NCWAM4 lead to a grade lower final NCWAM score. Overbank flow alteration was observed in wetland 3 and isolated sedimentation from adjacent uplands was observed in a small area of wetland 4. It should be noted that this reflects a change only at the NCWAM monitoring point, and not the wetland overall. The majority of the wetland TR1156 —2023 Annual Monitoring Report 11 January-2024 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 was not impacted by the sediment/gravel discharge present. Reduced or absence of baseflow was observed at the headwater seeps that feed the wetlands below the barrier wall. 4.2.3 Stream Monitoring Locations Each of the 14 stream monitoring locations were visited twice in 2023, once during the beginning of the growing season (May) and once near the end of the growing season (September). The scores of each of the streams is documented in Table 5. Streams that score below 19 are classified as ephemeral, between 19 and 30 are classified as intermittent, and above 30 are classified as perennial. It should be noted, as described in the "Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins" a stream's origin, as defined by its flow regimes (e.g., ephemeral, intermittent, and perennial), usually occurs along transition zones in which the location and length of the zone is subject to fluctuations in groundwater levels and precipitation. As such, it can be expected that stream scores will fluctuate between monitoring events.

Stream 3, 5, 7, 7-Up, and 8-Up moved from perennial to intermittent type. It was apparent that stream monitoring points below the barrier wall had lost all or almost all of the baseflow following the installation of the barrier wall; however, some flow still does reach the streambed surface from reduced groundwater flow originating from the headwater seeps and in the form of sheetflow from the immediate TR1156 -2023 Annual Monitoring Report 12 January-2024 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 uplands. These seeps are observed to be less active (e.g., reduced flow) than in 2022, but still provide minimum baseflow or indicate evidence of active geomorphic fluvial indicators. Changes at upgradient stream points are potentially a result of the variability in climatic conditions or changes in upstream contributions and may not be considered an impact of barrier wall installation. However, changes at upgradient monitoring points can inform our interpretations of downgradient monitoring point changes. This is especially true in the case of the upstream reference monitoring point S7-Up, in which its downstream monitoring point Stream 7 also experienced a change from perennial to intermittent. Streams are dynamic systems, the changes in upgradient monitoring points may provide evidence indicating why changes may be identified in downstream monitoring points. Stream 4-Up scored down to intermittent in the spring surveys but scored perennial again in the fall. The stream experienced some disturbance following 2022 baseline data collection, in the form of impoundment from boundary road construction expansion. This impoundment resulted in a change in habitat. This disturbance lowered the score in spring 2023, but it appeared to recover to some degree by the fall. Stream 5-Up moved from intermittent to perennial in 2023. This stream likely experiences a flashy hydrograph due to high levels of upgradient impervious surface and deep bank incision from erosion over time. In the fall 2022 survey, the entire surveyed reach was dry. In spring 2023, the entire reach had baseflow. In fall 2023 the lower reach was dry, while the upper reach had slight baseflow and deeper pools of water. A salamander identified at Stream 5-Up indicates the presence of regular baseflow. Stream 10 moved up from ephemeral to intermittent in the spring, and then back down to ephemeral in the fall. This stream is likely naturally on the borderline between the two types, further complicated by on -site stormwater management as the constructed barrier wall does not cross this stream. 4.2.4 Groundwater Gage Data Groundwater gages were not installed until October 11, 2022, therefore we do not have a complete year of baseline data prior to barrier wall installation. To meet Performance Standard 93 of shallow groundwater for 5% hydroperiod, baseline data is not necessary, only demonstration of shallow water table for 12.15 consecutive days during the growing season (March 16 — November 14). Daily groundwater elevations were analyzed for the growing season.

However, the area was at a 9.22" rainfall deficit for the year-to-date according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, NC Climate Station 4. Bladen and Cumberland counties were listed as being in Severe Drought by the U.S. Drought Monitors for the week of November 16, 2023. This indicates that there has been persistent rainfall deficit over time to achieve Severe Drought status for the end of the growing season. The APT tool showed a score of "Drier than normal -7" conditions, indicating mild drought. The 30 day rolling total for rainfall appeared to have been below normal since late September based on the APT graph output. It is possible that failure to meet hydroperiod at W-2A Wet, W-2b Wet, and W-3 Wet could be a result of climatic conditions. Additionally, groundwater data prior to the barrier wall installation is not available to demonstrate that these locations would have met hydroperiod prior to barrier wall installation, as wetland hydrology can be determined by a number of indicators and not just shallow groundwater. Failure to meet hydroperiod does not mean that wetland designation is not maintained as there are other hydrology indicators that may be met. 4 https://www.weatlier.gov/wrh/Climate?wfo=rah https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor. aspx?NC TR1156 —2023 Annual Monitoring Report 14 January-2024 Geosyntec consultants Geosyntec Consultants of NC, P.C. NC License No.: C-3500 and C-295 5 SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION The 2023 annual monitoring was performed after the installation of the barrier wall, to document trends or changes that may have occurred for the wetland and stream conditions of the Wetlands Investigation Area. This monitoring program will run for 5 years after the wall is installed to evaluated potential changes that may occur in wetlands and streams downgradient of the construction. This monitoring scope included USACE wetland datapoint monitoring, NCWAM form data collection, DWR Stream form collection, and analysis of groundwater gauge data. No significant deviations in wetland composition or size were documented during this monitoring effort. Evaluation against the Performance Standards was discussed below.

(12.15 consecutive days) each year during the growing season The site experienced below average rainfall, abnormally dry, and drought conditions during the 2023 monitoring period. It is reasonable to consider these conditions could have contributed to the failure of 3 GW gauge locations to meet performance standard. Observations and changes are further detailed in Table 3 and Appendix A; and documented in the representative photographs (Appendix B). Monitoring will occur in 2024 consistent with the scope described in Section 4.3.

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.19 and 0.33" wer, recorded on 9/9 and 9/10, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 31.14" which is a 3.67" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated no drought conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 13, 2023. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated outpu was a -13 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30-Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.19 and 0.33" wer, recorded on 9/9 and 9/10, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 31.14" which is a 3.67" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated no drought conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 13, 2023. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated outpu was a -13 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30-Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.19 and 0.33" wer, recorded on 9/9 and 9/10, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 31.14" which is a 3.67" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated no drought conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 13, 2023. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated outpu was a -13 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30-Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.19 and 0.33" wer, recorded on 9/9 and 9/10, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 31.14" which is a 3.67" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated no drought conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 13, 2023. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated outpu was a -13 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30-Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.19 and 0.33" wer, recorded on 9/9 and 9/10, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 31.14" which is a 3.67" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated no drought conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 13, 2023. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated outpu was a -13 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30-Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).

The observed Year -to -Date amount was 31.14" which is a 3.67" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated no drought conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 13, 2023. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated outpu was a -13 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30-Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).

This includes recent precipitation events just prior to the surveys in which 0.19 and 0.33" wer, recorded on 9/9 and 9/10, respectively. The observed Year -to -Date amount was 31.14" which is a 3.67" deficit according to the National Weather Service Fayetteville Area, SC climate station. Considering recent rainfall but overall deficit for the month/year, the delineators felt that surface hydrology was normal with minimal stormwater influence affecting typical surface hydrology despite the below average annual precipitation to date. No high-water, flooding conditions were observed. A review of regional drought conditions from the website droughtmonitor.gov indicated no drought conditions existed for the regional area for the week of September 13, 2023. In addition, based on the results of the climate analysis using the Antecedent Precipitation Tool (Deter, USACE v.1.0.13) the calculated outpu was a -13 value "Normal Conditions" with the graphic indicating the 30-day Rolling Total was located within the 30-Year Normal Range (see attached graphic).
