Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: " The proposed Cherry Solar project occupies multiple parcels in Northampton County totaling approximately 2,280 acres, located off of Oak Grove Church Rd and NC 46. Land use in and within the project vicinity is primarily composed of agricultural (various rotating crops including cotton, peanuts, corn, etc) and silvicultural uses. An adjacent utility scale solar project, Oak Solar, is currently under development1construction and its perimeter is contiguous to Cherry Solar. A mix of farm and gravel paths are present throughout the site. 4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past? Yes No Unknown 4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 193.63 4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property: 106,965.23 4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:" The present submittal, requesting approval of coverage under NWP 14, is for the purpose of addressing safe conveyance of personnel, materials, equipment, and emergency vehicles across the Cherry Solar site for the purpose of construction, operation, and maintenance of the solar facility, as well as for emergency response ingress/egress. 4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: * The Applicant is proposing to construct a 180MW AC solar facility in Northampton County, to include solar PV panels, inverters, conductors, access paths, perimeter fencing, etc. Forecasts of the quantities of renewable power to be purchased within the PJM market over the next several years, and elsewhere in the southeastern United States, reflect a strong public need for additional utility -scale renewable solar power production. The proposed facility will share an interconnection facility with Oak Solar (already constructed) which interconnects with Dominion's transmission grid, providing direct access to all load -serving suppliers participating in PJM, a Regional Transmission Organization ("RTO") in which Dominion participates. PJM coordinates the movement of electricity through all or parts of Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Expected equipment to be used for site construction are those typical at many similar projects, such as: excavators, skid steers, dozers, haul trucks, pile drivers, loaders, etc. 5.

Impact Justification and Mitigation O 1. Avoidance and Minimization la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: Impacts to streams and wetlands have been avoided and minimized by siting PV arrays and infrastructure around and outside of these features to the greatest extent practicable through intentional layout and design. The proposed solar arrays and substation have been situated entirely within upland areas and will utilize existing roads to the extent practicable for access; however, 12 access road crossings (one of which [Crossing 1] has been changed to temporary only) will be necessary to improve or install, in order to facilitate access between the arrays for construction, to provide connectivity throughout the proposed array layout, and provide emergency ingress/egress for emergency vehicles and personnel in the case of an emergency. Impacts at the 12 proposed crossings were minimized by aligning the access path crossings across the streams/wetlands as close to perpendicular as possible, utilizing existing farm and logging access locations where available, and aligning crossings at locations where jurisdictional features are more narrow, where feasible. Additionally, the proposed in -line culverts will be buried to allow for the movement of aquatic species, and additional culverts needed to accommodate anticipated high flows have been placed at higher elevations to eliminate additional stream impacts. Embankment slopes have been designed to the maximum slope of 3:1 to minimize crossing widths. Riprap at the culvert inlets and outlets will be installed to provide scour protection and stabilization and will be keyed into the stream bed and banks to ensure no net loss of aquatic function. Additionally, Cherry Solar was able to drastically reduce impacts to jurisdictional features, as well as overall land use, by utilizing technical advances in PV efficiency to reduce the overall facility footprint in coordination with the adjacent project, Oak Solar. Due to selecting optimally efficient PV system components, the area of land required to implement the Project (in conjunction with Oak Solar) has been drastically reduced. The original project area for Oak Solar and Cherry Solar, as was delineated and field reviewed together by USACE in 2020, was approximately 4,391 acres. The total land needed for both projects has been coordinated and optimized to eliminate the need for approximately 1,112 acres, drastically minimizing stream and wetland impacts. Additionally, overhead power poles have been located in upland areas with overhead power lines spanning wetlands, and security fencing posts will be driven into the ground when installed within wetland areas instead of utilizing concrete anchors/foundation. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Impacts to streams and wetlands within the project study area will be minimized to the extent practicable throughout the construction process by avoiding these features with equipment, material staging, and access corridors whenever possible. All equipment staging areas have been located in upland areas, and silt fencing will be installed around the permitted limits of disturbance to reduce downstream sedimentation and to help ensure all equipment is located within the permitted areas. Sediment control measures will be used throughout construction to reduce construction stormwater impacts to receiving waters and minimize runoff from the site. The construction and design teams have been active in their pursuit for the appropriate burial depths and pipe configurations to avoid/minimize impacts to stream beds and maintain normal downstream flows. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?

Credits Purchased/Requested (attach receipt and letter) Type: Quantity: Non -riparian wetland 0.276 Riparian wetland 0.34 Stream 126 3c. Comments Of the proposed crossings, we understand two of the twelve will require mitigation under NWP 14 and regional guidelines. Crossing 9 will have 0.17 acres of permanent riparian wetland impacts and 63 linear feet of permanent stream impacts. Crossing 11 would require 0.138 acres of permanent non - riparian wetland impacts. At a 2:1 mitigation ratio, the proposed impacts would require a purchase of 0.276 non -riparian wetland credits, 0.34 riparian credits, and 126 stream credits. The Great Dismal Swamp Restoration Bank has provided a letter of credit availability, verifying access to the required credits upon approval. 6.
