1. PURPOSE
Flatiron is considering using the Parce146 Borrow Site to acquire soil and other natural
materials for construction of U-2525B. The borrow site is located at approximately 3630
Briarmeade Road in Guilford County, NC. As part of the Environmental Evaluation required
under the NCDOT Reclamation Procedures for Borrow/ Waste/ Staging Areas for Contracted
Projects, Three Oaks Engineering/The Catena Group, Inc. (Catena) was contracted to conduct
jurisdictional delineations and threatened and endangered species surveys.
2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed borrow site consists of approximately 3-acres within a 6-acre parcel (Appendix
A, Figure 1). The study area consists of the proposed borrow site, and a 400-ft wide
perimeter extending beyond the limits of the proposed borrow site.
3. METHODOLOGIE5
Catena was provided site maps depicting the study area of the proposed borrow site.
Additional mapping resources used in this investigation include the most recent United States
Geologic Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle map, National Wetland
Inventory (NWI) Mapping, and the Guilford County Soil Survey.
Catena conducted the field investigation on June 15, 2015. The NC Division of Water
Resources (NCDWR) Stream Identification Form (Version 4.11) was used in making stream
determinations. Blue and orange flagging were used to demarcate the streams. Blue and pink
flagging were used to demarcate the wetlands. Locations of jurisdictional features were
located using a hand-held GPS with sub-meter accuracy.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists only one species for G�uilford
County, the threatened small-whorled pogonia (Isotrza medeoloides). Although no longer
listed and protected by the Endangered Species Act of 1971, as is the case for the endangered
pogonia, the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is known to occur in Guilford County.
This important raptor is still protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.
A search was conducted within the study area for suitable habitat far both species.
4. QUALIFICATION OF INVESTIGATORS
The investigation was performed by Randy Turner and Evan Morgan. Mr. Turner is a senior
biologist with over 25 years of experience wiih natural resource investigations including
wetland and stream delineation, threatened and endangered species surveys, natural systems
assessments, stream classifications, and GIS mapping. Mr. Morgan is a natural resources
investigatar who has been actively involved in field investigations of streams and wetlands in
multiple physiographic provinces in North Carolina. His primary duties include conducting
field reconnaissance, compiling data, creating figures, and writing the technical report.
5. RESULTS
5.1. Wetlands
One jurisdictional wetland (WA) was identified within the study area that lies beyond the
immediate borrow area, within the 400-foot buffer portion of the site (Figure 2). Wetland
WA is positioned along an unnamed tributary (SB). This wetland is not identifed on the
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapping. Soils described in the wetland met the field
indicator F2 as noted in the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States — A Guide
for ldentifying and Delineating Hydric Soils (Version 7.0, 2010), that states:
F2. A gleyed matrix that occupies 60 percent or more of a layer starting within 30 cm
(12 inches) of the soil surface.

Headwater Forest
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) wetland delineation data forms are
included in Appendix B. A portion of the proposed borrow site is at a slightly higher
elevation than the wetland and another portion is at a slightly lower elevation (approximately
10 to 20 feet above and 5 to 10 feet below). The proposed borrow site will not extend below
the elevation of the wetland. A 100-ft buffer is proposed to be placed around Wetland A.
5.2. Streams
Two jurisdictional streams were identified within the study area, the details of which are
provided in the following table and shown on Figure 2. Streams SA and SB occur near the
proposed borrow site and are depicted on the Guilford County Soil Survey (Figure 3). Stream
SC is an ephemeral drainageway to stream SB. The NCDWR Stream Identification Forms are
appended.

The excavation activities at the proposed borrow site will acknowledge 50-foot buffers on all
streams and excavation will not occur below an elevation equivalent to the top of stream
bank elevation.
5.3. Ponds
A portion of a pond was located in the northeastern section of the study area. This pond has
an outlet pipe that feeds stream SB. Stream SC also originates at the pond, but appeared to
only receive water when the pond was at elevated water levels. The pond elevation is similar
to that of the borrow site and water levels should be monitored to make sure pond drainage is
not occurring during excavation.
5.4. Riparian Buffers
Stream SA is a stream mitigation site for NCDOT U-2525B. During the field investigaiion
of the proposed borrow site, mitigation work appeared to have been completed at this
location. A 100-ft buffer is proposed to be placed around streams SA and SB.
5.5. Endangered Species Surveys
S.S.1. Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature farest in proximity to large bodies of
open water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically within
one mile of open water. A desktop-GIS assessment of the study area, as well as the area
within a 1 mile plus 660 ft radius of the project limits, was performed on June 15, 2015,
using 2010 color aerials. No water bodies large enough or sufficiently open to be considered
potential feeding sources were identified. Due to the lack of habitat, known occurrences, and
minimal impact anticipated for this project, it has been determined that this project will not
affect this species.
5.5.2. Small whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides)
Small whorled pogonia occurs in young, as well as maturing (second to third successional
growth) mixed-deciduous or mixed-deciduous/coniferous forests. It does not appear to
exhibit strong affinities for a particular aspect, soil type, or underlying geologic substrate. In
North Carolina, the perennial orchid is typically found in open, dry deciduous woods and is
often associated with white pine and rhododendron. The species may also be found on dry,
rocky, wooded slopes; moist slopes, ravines lacking stream channels; or slope bases near
braided channels of vernal streams. The orchid, often limited by shade, requires small light
gaps or canopy breaks, and typically grows under canopies that are relatively open or near
features like logging roads or streams that create long-persisting breaks in the forest canopy.
Suitable habitat does not occur within the proposed limits of the borrow site. Marginal
habitat was noted in the eastern and northern extent of the study area (beyond the actual
borrow area) and consists primarily of older deciduous and a few coniferous trees. A review
of the Apri12015 NCNHP records on June 15, 2015, indicates no known occurrence within
one mile of the study area. As such, the project will have No Effect on small whorled
pogonia.
6. SUMMARY
This report addresses, in part, the Environmental Evaluation required under the NCDOT
Reclamation Procedures for Borrow/ Waste/ Staging Areas far Contracted Projects.
Development of the site is expected to have no effect on federally listed species. No
jurisdictional features were identified within the proposed borrow site. There are two
jurisdictional streams and one jurisdictional wetland within the study area. These features are
not expected to be impacted for the following reasons:
• A minimum 100' buffer will be maintained from these features
• Excavation will not occur below the elevation of the jurisdictionai features
It is anticipated that this site will be accessed directly from the U-2525B roadway corridor.
As such, access impacts are anticipated.

1.0 PURPOSE
Flatiron is under contract with the NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to construct
Greensboro Eastern Loop (U-2525B) in Guilford County, NC. Flatiron is considering utilizing
the Parcel 46 Borrow Site to provide fill material for the roadway project.
Three Oaks Engineering/The Catena Group (Three Oaks) was contracted to perform a soil and
site investigation to determine acceptable construction limits for the proposed borrow site in
regards to existingjurisdictional features.
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Parcel 46 Borrow Site is located near 3600 Briarmeade Road in McLeansville, Guilford
County, North Carolina. The project study area consists of approximately 7 acres directly
adjacent to the U-2525B project (Figure 1).
Three Oaks performed the initial investigation on June 15, 2015. One jurisdictional wetland
(WA), two jurisdictional streams (SA, SB), and a pond were identified within the study area
that lies beyond the immediate borrow area, within the 400-foot buffer portion of the site.
Stream SA is a stream mitigation site for NCDOT U-2525B.
3.0 METHODOLOGIES
NCDOT requires roadway contractors to complete a site specific analysis when borrow pit
activities are proposed within 400-ft of jurisdictional features. This is to ensure borrow pit
activities do not adversely affect jurisdictional features (i.e. draining). Three Oaks
characterized specific soil and hydrological components to address the potential draining of
jurisdictional features in regard to borrow pit activities.
Three Oaks conducted a lateral drainage assessment on August 21, 2015. Soil borings were
advanced via hand turned soil auger to investigate specific soil properties (soil texture
changes, restrictive layers, apparent water table depth, etc.) as well as dominant soil series
within the proposed borrow site. Elevation data was collected at boring locations and
various other locations throughout the study area.
4.0 QUALIFICATION OF INVESTIGATORS
The investigation was performed by John Roberts and Evan Morgan. Mr. Roberts, the
primary investigator, is a Licensed Soil Scientist and the Soil Unit Head for Three Oaks with
over 10 years of experience conducting soil and environmental investigations. His primary
duties include managing soil and site investigations, using his knowledge in soil classification
and morphology throughout the mountain, piedmont and coastal plain regions of North
Carolina. His soil investigation experience includes determining suitable areas for
surface/subsurface wastewater systems, stormwater structures, wetland delineations and
hydric soil determinations.

5.1 Soil and Site Characteristics
Soil borings were advanced to describe and report soil characteristics (soil texture changes,
apparent water table depth, etc.). A soil series determination was made by comparing the
soil boring descriptions to the NRCS Official Series Description (Appendix 3). The soils
observed along the linear sideslope, upslope and adjacent to the delineated intermittent
stream and wetland, are best described by boring B3 and identified as the Vance soil series.
Soil borings advanced within the wetland and directly adjacent floodplain of the intermittent
channel are best described by boring B1 and identified as the Chewacla soil series. Soil
borings were advanced near the wetland and jurisdictional streams, as well as 100 feet
perpendicularly upslope from the stream or wetland, and the identified soil series listed in
Table 1.

The findings of the field investigation are generally consistent with the Soil Survey of Guilford
County, which has Vance mapped within the study area. The Soil Survey describes this soil
series as well drained, occurring on long, smooth and narrow side slopes of upland areas.
Permeability is slow with perched water table above the Bt horizon. Taxonomic information
for Chewacla and Vance soil series is listed in Table 2.

5.2 Wetland Description and Characteristics
One jurisdictional wetland was identified within the study area. Wetland WA was classified
as a NCWAM Headwater Forest wetland type and is located immediately below a pond,
which is clearly providing the vast majority of the wetland hydrology via an 8-inch pipe drain.
Saturated conditions prevented deep soil descriptions (>18 inches below the surface) of the
Parcel 46 Borrow Site September 2015

� � ��'�� The

r �' - Grcur...
wetland. However, a restrictive layer consisting of a structureless, heavy clay or massive soil
layer was encountered at around 14 inches in the wetland. One hour after the boring was
conducted the water table was measured to be 7 inches.
5.3 Proposed Borrow Site Impact on Wetlands
The current grading plan proposes to excavate soil material throughout the property (Figure
2). Excavation depths are to extend below the current surface elevation of the wetland. The
proposed excavation limit will be approximately 80 ft away from the wetland at its closest
point. It is anticipated that this distance, combined with the drainage area and hydrological
input to the wetland, will be sufficient to avoid any impacts to either the wetland or the pond
which is providing the wetland hydrology.
5.4 Stream Description and Characteristics
Two jurisdictional streams were identified within the study area. Stream SA was classified as
perennial (Figure 3) and stream SB was classified as intermittent. Stream SB is an
intermittent channel that has formed at the outlet of the adjacent pond.
5.5 Proposed Borrow Site Impact on Streams
The current grading plan proposes to excavate material below the current surface elevation
of stream SB, 3-ft at its greatest extent in the northeast corner. In order to limit any
potential stream drainage, a 50-ft buffer was set from the closest point from the stream to
the proposed borrow site, and then a straight line (Limits of Excavation — Figure 2) from east
to west from that point, thus creating an undisturbed buffer that will be at minimum 50 feet.
Given the source of hydrology of stream SB, the relatively impermeable clay layer, and the
relatively minor depth of the excavation in relation to the stream (3-ft or less), it is not
anticipated that the hydrology of stream SB will be adversely affected, as its primary input is
the adjoining pond.
The grading plans do not call for excavation to occur below the current surface elevation of
stream SA, and in fact will allow surface and subsurface water to continue to drain toward
the stream. A 50-ft stream buffer must be maintained during excavation of borrow material.
It should be noted that much of the 50-ft buffer has already been disturbed due to the
highway construction.
6.0 SUMMARY
This report is provided for planning purposes for excavation of soil material at the Parcel 46
Borrow Site. Measured site-specific parameters were used to classify soil characteristics in
regards to potential wetland and stream drainage.

C--29 to 72 inches; multicolored saprolite that has a loam texture; massive; friable; strongly acid.
TYPE LOCATI�N: Wake County, North Carolina; 3.5 miles west of Wakefield Baptist Church, 600
feet northeast on farm road.
RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Solum thickness is 24 to 40 inches over saprolite. Depth to hard
bedrock ranges from 6 to 10 feet or more. The soil is moderately acid to very strongly acid in the A
horizon, unless limed. The B and C horizons are strongly or �ery strongly acid. Content of coarse
fragments ranges from 0 to about 35 percent by �olume in the A and E horizons and 0 to 10 percent by
volume in the B horizon.
The A or Ap horizon has hue of 10YR to 2.SY, �alue of 3 to 6, and chroma of 2 to 6. It is fine sandy
loam, sandy loam, or coarse sandy loam or their gra�elly analogues. Eroded phases are sandy clay loam
or clay loam and chroma can range to 8.

The E horizon, where present, has hue of 7.SYR to 2.SY, value of 5 to 7, and chroma of 3 to 6. It is fine
sandy loam, sandy loam, or coarse sandy loam or their gravelly analogues.
The BA or BE horizon, where present, has hue of SYR to 2.SY, �alue of 4 to 6, and chroma of 4 to 8.
Mottles in shades of red, brown, and yellow are present in most pedons. Texture is clay loam or sandy
clay loam.
The Bt horizon has hue of SYR to 2.SY, �alue of 4 to 6, and chroma of 4 to 8. Mottles in shades of red,
brown, and yellow are present in most pedons. The lower part may contain some low chroma mottles.
Texture is clay, clay loam, or sandy clay with less than 30 percent silt. Consistence is �ery firm and
plastic.
The BC horizon, where present, has hue of SYR to 2.SY, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 4 to 8. Mottles in
shades of red, brown, and yellow are present in most pedons. The lower part may contain some low
chroma mottles. Texture is clay loam, sandy clay loam, clay, sandy clay, or loam.
The C horizon is multicolored loamy saprolite weathered from felsic crystalline rock. Te�lure is �ariable
and but commonly is clay loam, sandy clay loam, loam, or sandy loam.
COMPETING SERIES: Series in the same family are Albertville, Badin, Beng�l, Bonwier, Brockroad,
Carnasaw, Cathar�in, Cullen, Cunnin�ham, Cuthbert, Enders, Endsaw, Fluvanna, Galilee, Gritnev,
Kirvin, Luverne, Masada, Matta�oni, Mavodan, Mc een, Nason, Remlap, Sweatman, Tatum, Totier,
Townlev, Urland, Uwharrie, and Williamsville soils. Albertville, Badin, Carnasaw, Cunningham, Enders,
Endsaw, Nason, Sweatman, and Townley soils contain sandstone, shale, or other fine-grained coarse
fragments. In addition, Badin, Bengal, and Townley soils have bedrock within 20 to 40 inches. Bonwier
and Urland soils have less total moisture during the growing season. Brockroad and Catharpin soils have
lithologic discontinuity within the series control section. Cullen, Tatum, Totier, and Uwharrie soils ha�e
hue of SYR or redder. Cuthbert, Kirvin, and Williamsville soils contain ironstone coarse fragments.
Fluvanna soils lack mica flakes in the control section. Galilee, Gritney, Luverne, Masada, Mattaponi, and
Mayodan soils lack the very firm consistence. In addition, Gritney, Luverne, and Mattaponi soils have
formed in marine sediments and Masada soils ha�e formed in old alluvium. McQueen soils contain many
mica flakes in the lower Bt horizon and substratum. Remlap soils ha�e thick sola and clay content in the
series control section that ranges from 60 to 75 percent.
GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Vance soils are on gently sloping narrow and broad ridges and sloping to
moderately steep side slopes in the Piedmont. Slopes range from 2 to 25 percent. These soils formed in
residuum weathered from felsic crystalline rock, primarily aplitic granite. Mean annual precipitation is
about 44 inches and mean annual air temperature is about 61 degrees F. near the type location.
GEOGRAPHICALLY ASS�CIATED S�ILS: These are A�ling, Cecil, Helena, Louisbur�, Pacolet,
Rion and Wedowee soils. All these soils, except Helena, lack the very firm consistence of the Bt horizon.
Appling, Cecil, Pacolet, and Wedowee soils have kaolinitic mineralogy. Helena soils are in small
depressions, head of drainageways, and along intermittent drainageways. Louisburg, Rion, and Wilkes
soils have mixed mineralogy and less than 35 percent clay. In addition, Louisburg soils ha�e a
discontinuous Bt horizon.
DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Vance soils are well drained. Runoff is medium to rapid, and
permeability is slow. A perched water table may occur above the Bt horizon for a few days following
periods of high rainfall.
USE AND VEGETATION: The principal use is for cultivated crops and pasture. The remainder is in a

hickory, loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, and Virginia pine. Common understory plants are American holly,
flowering dogwood, sassafras, sourwood, and hophornbeam.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Piedmont of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and
Alabama. The series is of moderate extent.
MLRA SOIL SURVEY REGIONAL OFFICE (MO) RESPONSIBLE: Raleigh, North Carolina
SERIES ESTABLISHED: Franklin County, North Carolina; 1938.
REMARKS: This description restricts the series to soils with �ery firm, plastic Bt horizons which lack,
in the control section, low chroma mottles that are associated with wetness. Some low chroma particles
and streaks in the lower Bt horizons of some pedons are incompletely weathered parent materials and not
mottles indicati�e of wetness.
Diagnostic horizons recognized in this pedon are:
Ochric epipedon - the zone from the surface to a depth of 5 inches (Ap horizon).
Argillic horizon - the zone from 5 to 29 inches below the surface (Btl, Bt2, and Bt3 horizons).
