The following includes responses to the additional information request received December 22,
2023 from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE):
Additionally, upon further review of the information provided in the 11/27/23 PCN and the
RFAI response referenced above, the following information is required to complete our
evaluation, confirm compliance with one or more General or Regional Conditions, and/or
complete consultation with another federal/state agency to verify the use of NWP-29:
The PCN indicates in Section 5a-d that potentially jurisdictional boundaries of
streams and wetlands have been delineated and verified by the Corps. Although
partial delineation information was included in your PCN, complete delineation
information and documentation for USACE concurrence was not included. Per NWP
29 General Condition 32(b)(5), this information is necessary to process your requestto
verify the use of this NWP, and as such your PCN is considered on hold until this
information is provided. Note also that a site visit may be required to verify your
delineation of potential waters of the US. Further, additional revisions may be
required on the PCN and plans based on the final Corps -verified boundaries of
potential waters of the US.
Specifically, I cannot confirm that a PJD or Delineation Concurrence was
issued because I cannot locate that documentation in our files or database.
Delineation documentation and Corps concurrence should always be
submitted with your PCN. Please submit the PJD/DC and all correspondence,
data sheets, supplemental documentation via email to me so that I may
continue review of the proposed project.
The Preliminary JD request was submitted to RaleighNCREGC@usace.army.mil on June 16, 2022
and was assigned to April Norton, USACE. A copy of the Preliminary JD request (SAW-2022-01307
[1j
TRGNSYSTEMS
OWASA Morgan Creek Interceptor, Chapel Hill), and correspondence with April Norton is
attached to this response.
b. Additionally, based on evidence reviewed by the Corps in association with our
review of this project application there is sufficient reason to assume there
are jurisdictional wetlands and additional jurisdictional streams in the project
review area. Per General Condition 32.(4)(i) A description of the proposed
activity; the activity's purpose; direct and indirect adverse environmental
effects the activity would cause, including the anticipated amount of loss of
wetlands, other special aquatic sites, and other waters expected to result
from the NWP activity, in acres, linear feet, or other appropriate unit of
measure; a description of any proposed mitigation measures intended to
reduce the adverse environmental effects caused by the proposed activity;
and any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permit(s) used
or intended to be used to authorize any part of the proposed project or any
related activity, including other separate and distant crossings for linear
projects that require Department of the Army authorization but do not require
pre -construction notification. The description of the proposed activity and
any proposed mitigation measures should be sufficiently detailed to allow the
district engineer to determine that the adverse environmental effects of the
activity will be no more than minimal and to determine the need for
compensatory mitigation or other mitigation measures.
OWASA is committed to incorporating all reasonable and practicable design features to avoid
and minimize jurisdictional impacts and to provide full compensatory mitigation of all
remaining, unavoidable jurisdictional impacts. Avoidance measures were taken throughout the
planning and design stages, and minimization measures were incorporated as part of the
project design.
The proposed project will result in minimal adverse environmental effects, and impact areas
have been limited to one stream crossing at Morgan Creek. The installation will be completed
via open cut and includes bank stabilization. For the bank stabilization, natural material and rip
rap will be reinstalled per the stabilization detail sheet previously provided. Permanent stream
impacts from the installation will result in 56 linear feet (3,393.16 sq. ft.) of permanent impact.
No temporary stream impacts are proposed.
2. Per General Condition 15. Single and Complete Project. The activity must be a single
and complete project. The same NWP cannot be used more than once for the same
single and complete project. PCN Section 6a. Is this a phased project? Answer: No.
a. This answer contradicts supplemental documentation to the contrary -
specifically the following: "Phase II of the project involves the installation of
approximately 1,500 linear feet of 36-inch gravity sanitary sewer as a parallel
replacement for the existing gravity sewer. The new sewer is anticipated to be
[2l
TRGNSYSTEMS
installed via open cut and will result in permanent and temporary
impacts. Design of Phase II has not begun, however permanent impacts are
assumed to be an additional 15-ft of cleared area (parallel to existing cleared
easement). Additionally, permanent impacts may include installation of
permanent access from Flat Stone Court or the Mason Farm Wastewater
Treatment Plant. Temporary impacts are assumed to be a 30-foot cleared
area parallel to the alignment to be used during construction. It is likely that
two approximately 50 feet by 50 feet laydown areas will be placed within the
project area but the location of these is not yet known." - Morgan Creek
Sewer Interceptor Relocation Bat Surveys, EPR, 22 August 2023.
The proposed Morgan Creek Interceptor Replacement project is a single and complete project
and includes a 1,000-foot section of sewer line that has undergone numerous emergency repairs
and is in critical need of replacement. The purpose of the replacement is to improve the ability of
the existing line to meet the current and projected future flow conditions. The project will not
increase the existing utility footprint, and no additional development is anticipated to result
from the project. The project has been identified as critical, and the planning and design are
100% complete, including construction drawings.
The "Phase II" project is a separate project that is being reviewed for OWASA's comprehensive
Critical Improvements Plan (CIP). This plan includes future projects to be completed in the
utility's service area. The project has not been designed and is still undergoing the initial
planning and environmental investigations to avoid and minimize any potential environmental
impacts that could be associated with these future improvements to the utility.

Dear Sir/Madam,
NC Division of Environmental Quality
Raleigh Regional Office
3800 Barrett Drive
Raleigh, NC 276095
This submittal serves as a preliminary jurisdictional determination (PJD) request for the subject project.
The Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) proposes to replace approximately 2,000 linear feet of
the Morgan Creek Interceptor, located adjacent to Morgan Creek, in Chapel Hill, Orange County, North
Carolina (Figure 1). The coordinates of 35.893981°,-79.033120' generally correspond to the center of the
site which encompasses approximately +/- 13 acres along Morgan Creek. The site is located in the Cape
Fear River basin, but is in the Jordan Lake watershed (HUC # 030300020607).
During the May 11, 2022 site visit, 2 perennial waters of the US were identified. Morgan Creek and the other
is an UT to Morgan Creek were identified within the study area (Figures 2 and 3).
Please contact me at 919-816-7745 or areusche@sepiinc.com you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminM JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS
❑ Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the
review area.
❑ Size of Property or Review Area +1- 13 acres.
❑ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre -
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:
