Re: Hathaway Switching Station: Standard Permit Application (REVISED)
(SAW -2015-01994)
Dear Mr. Brown:
Angler Environmental is pleased to present the following REVISED standard permit application
on behalf of Virginia Electric and Power Company. This application is intended for the public
notice and a more complete application will follow. The 37.01 +/- acre project area (Site) is
located in Nash County and is approximately 0.3 miles south of the area known as Battleboro. A
railroad easement serves as the eastern boundary of the site with single family residences
along Crepe Myrtle Street and Ethridge Street being the northern and western boundary and a
tributary to Beech Branch serving as the southern boundary (See attached Vicinity Map). The
site is primarily undeveloped and currently consists of a maintained electrical transmission
easement and a gravity sewer easement. All other areas on the site are either maintained or
forested.
Angler Environmental (Angler) completed a waters of the U.S. (WOUS) delineation on July 15,
2015 and October 7, 2015 in accordance with the Corps of Engineers' Wetlands Delineation
Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987), as well as the Regional Supplement to the Corps of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0) to
identify those areas that are most likely within the regulatory purview of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE). Based on the on-site field investigation of the approximately 37.01 +/- acre
project area, Angler has identified potentially jurisdictional waters of the U.S. consisting of 2.72
acres of palustrine forested wetlands, 0.002 acres of palustrine scrub shrub wetlands, 0.96
acres of palustrine emergent wetlands, and 2,347 +/- linear feet of streams.
The proposed project will involve the construction of a new 115kV and 230kV switching station
located adjacent to an existing overhead electrical transmission line easement. The switching
station is approximately 5.5 acres in size and will require a new entrance for ingress/egress and
a stormwater detention management facility to control runoff. The following items are included in
the application:

18.) NATURE OF ACTIVITY (Description of project, include all features)
The proposed project will involve the construction of a new 115kV and 230kV switching station located
adjacent to an existing overhead electrical transmission line easement. The footprint for the switching
station is approximately 5.5 acres in size and will include a new entrance for ingress/egress and a
stormwater detention management facility to control runoff. The project will likely entail the use of
several different sized excavators, skid steers, and dump trucks. The location, extent, and type of impacts
are shown on the attached Waters of the U.S. Impacts figure.
The construction of the switching station will result in approximately 0.596 acres of permanent fill in
jurisdictional wetlands including AASHTO #57 stone underlain by compacted earthen fill. Approximately
471.97 linear feet of temporary impact to the UT to Beech Branch will also occur. In addition, a substation
security fence will be installed around the immediate perimeter of the substation.
The new entrance for ingress/egress is to be constructed with 21A compacted base course underlain by
compacted earthen fill resulting in approximately 0.003 acres of permanent fill in jurisdictional wetlands.
In addition, 39.8 linear feet of permanent impacts to the UT to Beech Branch will also occur for the
installation of double 24 inch culverts where the proposed road crosses the stream.
The proposed stormwater detention management facility will result in approximately 0.436 acres of
permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands.
In total the project will yield approximately 1.035 acres of permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands,
39.8 linear feet (0.002 acres) of permanent impacts to jurisdictional streams, and 471.97 linear feet (0.05
acres) of temporary impacts to jurisdictional streams. In addition, the proposed project will require
earthwork excavation and fill of approximately 550 length x 425 width x 2.5 vertical feet (height) or a net
unadjusted volume of 20,320.89 cubic yards fill material.

22.) SURFACE AREA IN ACRES OF WETLANDS OR OTHER WATERS FILLED
In total the project will yield approximately 1.035 acres of permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands,
39.8 linear feet (0.002 acres) of permanent impacts to jurisdictional streams, and 471.97 linear feet (0.05
acres) of temporary impacts to jurisdictional streams resulting from the installation of the switching
station, access road, and proposed stormwater detention management facility. The location, extent, and
type of impacts to Waters of the U.S. are shown in the attached Waters of the U.S. Impact Map. The
project will likely entail the use of several different sized excavators, skid steers, and dump trucks. All
dredged material will be disposed of off-site.
23.) DESCRIPTION OF AVOIDANCE, MINIMIZATION, AND COMPENSATION
Given the nature and need for the project, the siting of switching station is limited to the southeast corner
of subject property where the intersection of the transmission lines exist. The applicant through this
process has identified all environmental constraints including wetlands and streams and has taking steps
to avoid and minimize including proposing to relocate and restore the stream channel that would be
impacted by the proposed lot fill ; however the size of the station and required stormwater management
facility will unfortunately result in permanent impacts to wetlands. In order to compensate for the loss
of these wetlands and streams, the applicant is proposing to purchase mitigation credits at an approved
mitigation bank.
The proposed relocated and restored channel will mitigate impacts resulting from the proposed access
road and switching station. The proposed channel would likely result in a functional uplift through an
improved floodplain connection compared to existing conditions. The relocated and restored stream
channel will be installed to the west of the existing stream channel approximately 100 feet at the
maximum distance. The proposed channel will tie into the existing channel (UT to Beech Branch) in two
locations. The first location includes the proposed access road and will be connected to the existing
channel through double 24 inch culverts. The proposed channel will include several curves around the
proposed substation, then the channel follows the fall of the valley until it ties in again at the wood line
in the southwestern quadrant of the project. The proposed stream relocation is also shown on the
attached impact figure.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report provides documentation for the "Proposed Hathaway Switching Station" project
under the Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 401 and 404 permitting requirements. This
project qualifies for authorization through an Individual CWA Section 404 Permit from the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), and meets all the conditions set forth for a Section
401 Water Quality Certification and Riparian Buffer Authorization from the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).The remainder of this document presents the
rationale and justification for this permitting scenario.
The prospective permittee plans to build a new electrical switching station that will connect
to the existing adjacent single 115 kV circuit and two 230 kV electrical circuits. This
switching station will provide additional reliability to the electrical grid in the event of power
outage or additional electrical needs in the region by being able to transfer/switch electrical
loads where and/or when needed. The 37.01 +/- acre project area (Site) is located in the
City of Rocky Mount and is approximately 0.3 miles south of the area known as Battleboro.
A railroad easement serves as the eastern boundary of the site with single family
residences along Crepe Myrtle Street and Ethridge Street being the northern and western
boundary and a tributary to Beech Branch serving as the southern boundary (See attached
Vicinity Map in Appendix A).
On-site construction activities will include clearing and grading of approximately 5.5 acres
for the site for the construction of a switching station, a new entrance for ingress/egress,
and a stormwater management facility to control runoff and manage water quality.
Proposed permanent impacts are limited to 1.035 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and 39.8
linear feet (0.002 acres) of jurisdictional stream. In addition, the project will likely result in
471.97 linear feet (0.05 acres) of temporary impacts to jurisdictional streams associated
with the relocation of Stream B or Unnamed Tributary to Beech Branch.
During the feasibility and planning stages of this project, the applicant made an effort to
avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts to the greatest extent practicable, including
avoiding the majority of the higher quality forested wetlands in the project area. The
remainder of this document will demonstrate the need for the jurisdictional impacts and
will demonstrate the efforts that the applicant underwent to minimize and avoid
jurisdictional impacts.
Compensation for the unavoidable wetland and stream impacts requested under this
permit application will be achieved through the purchase of credits from the N.C.
Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Mitigation Services.

I. PROJECT SUMMARY
The prospective permittee plans to build a switching station on the 37.01 -acre project site.
The proposed project will involve the construction of a new 115kV and 230kV switching
station located adjacent to an existing overhead electrical transmission line easement.
The switching station will require a new entrance for ingress/egress and a stormwater
detention management facility to control runoff totaling approximately 5.5 -acres. The
project will likely entail the use of several different sized excavators, skid steers, and dump
trucks. The location, extent, and type of impacts are shown on the attached Waters of the
U.S. Impacts figure.
The construction of the switching station will result in approximately 0.596 acres of
permanent fill in jurisdictional wetlands including AASHTO #57 stone underlain by
compacted earthen fill. Approximately 471.97 linear feet of temporary impact to the UT to
Beech Branch will also occur in order to accomplish the relocation and on-site stream
mitigation. In addition, a substation security fence will be installed around the immediate
perimeter of the substation.
The new entrance for ingress/egress is to be constructed with 21A compacted base
course underlain by compacted earthen fill resulting in approximately 0.003 acres of
permanent fill in jurisdictional wetlands. In addition, 39.8 linear feet of permanent impacts
to the UT to Beech Branch will also occur for the installation of double 24 -inch culverts
where the proposed road crosses the stream.
The proposed stormwater detention management facility will result in approximately 0.436
acres of permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands.
The siting of switching station is limited to the southeast corner of subject property where
the transmission lines intersect. The applicant has identified all environmental constraints
including wetlands and streams and has taking steps to avoid and minimize including
proposing to relocate and restore the stream channel that would be impacted by the
proposed lot fill. Access to the site is granted via several public roadways.
Project Components:
In total, the project will yield approximately 1.035 acres of permanent impacts to
jurisdictional wetlands, 39.8 linear feet (0.002 acres) of permanent impacts to jurisdictional
streams, and 471.97 linear feet (0.05 acres) of temporary impacts to jurisdictional streams
resulting from the installation of the switching station, access road, and proposed
stormwater detention management facility. In addition, the proposed project will require
earthwork excavation and fill of approximately 550 length x 425 width x 2.5 vertical feet
(height) or a net unadjusted volume of 20,320.89 cubic yards fill material. The project will
likely entail the use of several different sized excavators, skid steers, and dump trucks. All
dredged material will be disposed of off-site.

III. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF THE PROJECT
A. General Site Conditions
The project area is currently undeveloped forest and open land. As observed on the Drake
(NC) and Whitakers (NC) USGS Quadrangle Map, the drainage network on-site is
primarily associated with the drainages to Beech Branch. Potential jurisdictional features
can generally be found along floodplains, toe slopes, and drainage swales. There are no
existing structures on-site. The vegetative community for the project area is primarily
maturing mixed hardwoods and open semi -maintained fields. The primary drainage
feature on-site consists of a perennial stream, unnamed tributary (UT) to Beech Branch.
UT to Beech Branch flows southwest to the confluence with the main stem of Beech
Branch at the southwest boundary of the site. Beech Branch continues to flow offsite,
southeast to its confluence with the Tar River, a traditional navigable water. Dominant
vegetation observed in these features was a predominance of FAC or wetter species such
as Acer rubrum, Carex lurida, Impatiens capensis, Juncus effusus, Microstegium
vinineum, Rubus pensilvanicus, Sambucus nigra, Saururus cernuus, Ulmus americana,
and Woodwardia areolata.
B. Existing Waters of the U.S.
Limits of mapped wetlands and streams are depicted in the attached Waters of the U.S.
delineation Map in Appendix B. The source of wetlands information is from the Angler
Environmental Jurisdictional Determination Maps.
1. Jurisdictional Determination
In August 2015, Angler Environmental (Angler) delineated the jurisdictional waters
of the U.S. (WOUS) located on the approximate 37.01 -acre project site. Flags were
tied in the field to provide on-site marking of these jurisdictional WOUS. A
jurisdictional determination was performed by Craig Brown and Jean Gibby, U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on September 22, 2015 and October 30, 2015.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination has not been received as of the date of
this report. The Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Package is included as
Appendix B.
2. Wetlands
Jurisdictional features within the project limits can generally be found along
floodplains, toe slopes, and drainage swales. Based on the on-site field
investigation of the approximately 37.01 +/- acre project area, Angler has identified
potentially jurisdictional waters of the U.S. consisting of 2.72 acres of palustrine
forested wetlands, 0.002 acres of palustrine scrub shrub wetlands, 0.96 acres of
palustrine emergent wetlands, and 2,347 +/- linear feet of streams. No open waters
are present in the project area.
3. Wetland Functions and Values Assessment
Jurisdictional wetlands within the project area are classified as either palustrine
emergent or palustrine forested systems as described in Classification of Wetlands
and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al., 1979). This is a
hierarchical classification system used to organize and describe wetlands and
deepwater habitats according to hydrologic, geomorphologic, chemical, and
biological factors, and provides uniformity of concepts and terms to define these
areas. Palustrine emergent wetlands are generally defined as wetlands dominated
by persistent emergent vascular plants. Palustrine forested wetlands are generally
5

defined as being dominated by wood vegetation great than or equal to 5 meters in
height.
The palustrine forested wetlands within the project area were determined to be
functioning at a High level, based on the North Carolina Wetland Assessment
Methodology (NCWAM). These systems were primarily found to be comprised of
planted pine interspersed with native species and primarily undisturbed. The
palustrine emergent wetlands within the project area were determined to be
functioning at a Low level, based on the NCWAM. These systems were observed
to be sprayed periodically with herbicides and were dominated by herbaceous
vegetation comprised of both native and invasive species.
The jurisdictional streams located within the project area were also assessed for
function, value, and quality using the North Carolina Stream Assessment
Methodology (NCSAM). Three stream reaches were assessed in the area of
impact. See attached map for location of the stream assessment reaches. Reach
1 is located upstream of the culvert for the access road crossing. This area is
located within a maintained utility easement for the electrical transmission line.
Assessment Reach 1 was determined to be functioning at a Low level, based on
NCSAM. Assessment Reach 2 was located downstream of the culvert for the
access road and this section of stream was observed to have been historically
straightened and maintained. Riparian areas along southeast bank of Assessment
Reach 2 have been altered in the past from mowing or regular maintenance.
Assessment Reach 2 was also determined to be functioning at a Low level.
Assessment Reach 3 was located in a forested area and does not appear to have
been altered. Both banks of Assessment Reach 3 are forested and the stream
appears to have regular access to the floodplain. Assessment Reach 3 was
determined to be functioning at a High level based on NCSAM. The Wetland and
Stream Functions and Values Assessment Forms and Assessment Location Map
are found in the Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Package in Appendix B.
C. Threatened/ Endangered Species
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) Federally Endangered and Threatened Species and
Species of Concern List for Nash County (dated 12-27-15) was reviewed for the project
area. Habitat assessments for the species listed were conducted on July 15, 2015 and
October 7, 2015. No critical habitat was observed on the site or in the immediate vicinity
of the site. In addition, correspondence with Kathryn Matthews, USFWS regarding the
need to survey for the Rafineque's big -eared bat and the northern long-eared bat was
completed on October 2, 2015. According to Ms. Matthews, no survey was required for
either species.
In addition, a database review of federally threatened or endangered species occurrences
was performed by the N.C. Natural Heritage Program on September 28, 2015. No
occurrences were documented in the database review. No direct, secondary, or
cumulative impacts to federally endangered, threatened, or species of concern is
anticipated to result from the proposed project. The complete findings of this inventory are
included in report form in Appendix C.
D. Cultural/ Historic Resources
A review of the N.C. State Historic Preservation Office database was performed
September 28, 2015 for historical and/or archaeological sites that may occur at or in the
1.9

vicinity of the project (See Map in Appendix D). No historical or archeological resources
were documented within or adjacent to the project area. No direct, secondary, or
cumulative impacts to historical or archeological resources are anticipated to result from
the proposed project.
E. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the U.S.
Total jurisdictional impacts proposed in the site development plan include permanent
impacts to 1.035 acres of wetland, 39.8 linear feet (87.12 square feet) of perennial stream
channel, and temporary impacts to 471.97 linear feet (2,178 square feet) of perennial
stream channel. These impacts will result from the necessary grading and fill associated
with the clearing and grading of the site for the construction of the switching station and
other associated infrastructure.
The proposed jurisdictional impacts associated with this project are detailed on the Waters
of the U.S. Impacts Map provided in Appendix E and Tables 1 and 2 below.

IV. SEQUENCING — SECTION 404 (113)(1) REQUIREMENTS
Throughout the project's planning and design process, the applicant has evaluated
alternative development options in the attempt to avoid and minimize impacts to
jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and other natural resources to the greatest extent
practicable. This included a consideration of several designs for the subject site.
In order to meet the existing energy demand, forecasted load increase, and comply with
the mandatory North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the applicant
identified the need for a new switching station in the Battleboro area. Resultantly, desktop
reviews of suitable properties were conducted in the vicinity of the Battleboro area based
on the criteria listed in Table 3 below. Three properties were identified that met the criteria.
Following the selection of the preferred location, on-site alternatives were assessed. Of
these three properties, only one met the criteria for the proposed project.
The Alternative Location Map is included as Appendix F. Additional information regarding
both the off and on-site alternatives that were concluded to be not practicable or
reasonable are further explained below:

A. Off-site Alternatives
Several different site plans were proposed and evaluated based on economic, engineering
and environmental considerations. The following is an analysis of on-site alternative
development plans.

1. Site A — Selected Site
Site A, the preferred alternative, is located east of Hathaway Road in the City of
Rocky Mount, NC and identified by PINs 386312863225, 386312862826,
386312870161, 386312864681, 386312875252, and 386308984470. Preliminary
desktop reviews performed by the applicant indicated that the site was suitable
due to level terrain and close proximity to the transmission corridor including two
230 kV lines and one 115kV line. The property was available for purchase at a
reasonable price.
In order to identify the least damaging practicable alternative on the selected site,
four on-site alternatives were identified. Further discussion of on-site alternatives
is included in Section B below.
2. Site B
Off -Site Alternative - Site B is located north of Battleboro Avenue in Nash County,
NC and identified by PIN 386400650371. Preliminary desktop reviews performed
by the applicant indicated that the site was suitable due to level terrain and close
proximity to the transmission corridor. However, the property was not available for
purchase.
Based on preliminary desktop reviews, approximately 40 percent of the property
was classified as wetland based on the most recent USGS topographic mapping
(Drake and Whitaker quadrangles). In addition, the northern boundary of the
property is bordered by Swift Creek, a Class C, Outstanding Resource Water
(ORW) and Nutrient Sensitive Water (NSW) based on the most recent N.C.
Division of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Water Quality Classifications.
3. Site C
Off -Site Alternative - Site C is located south of Morning Star Road in Edgecombe
County, NC and identified by PIN 386396882900. Preliminary desktop reviews
performed by the applicant indicated that the site was suitable due to level terrain
and close proximity to the transmission corridor. However, the property was not
available for purchase.
Based on preliminary desktop reviews, no wetlands are streams are shown on the
most recent USGS topographic map (Drake and Whitaker quadrangles). No other
environmental constraints associated with this alternative were readily observed
during the preliminary desktop reviews.
B. On-site Alternatives
Following the identification of a viable property for the proposed project, on-site
alternatives were analyzed based on the criteria listed above. The proposed project would
involve the construction of a new 11 5k and 230kV switching station located adjacent to
an existing overhead electrical transmission line easement. The switching station is
approximately 3.5 acres in size and will require a new entrance for ingress/egress and a
stormwater detention management facility to control runoff. Total area for the footprint of
the proposed project is approximately 5.5 acres. Given the nature and need for the project,
the siting of switching station is limited to the southeast corner of subject property where
the intersection of the transmission lines exist.
E

Environmental surveys were completed for the entirety of subject property to identify the
presence of environmental constraints including database reviews for threatened and
endangered species, historic and archaeological features, as well as on-site surveys for
wetland and stream delineations and critical habitats.
1. Location 1
On -Site Alternative — Location 1 is identified as having level terrain, 115 kV and
230 kV that run east to west and are adjacent to the site, and no environmental
impacts would likely result from the construction of the proposed project.
However, completing the proposed project at Location 1 would include the
relocation of the city -owned gravity sewer, closer proximity to existing residences
(between 200 and 500 feet), and additional transmission structures would be
required to connect with the 230 kV transmission corridor that runs north to south.
2. Location 2 — Preferred Alternative
Site A — Location 2 was determined to be the preferred site based on the criteria
listed above including impacts to wetlands and streams, threatened and
endangered species, historical and archaeological features, neighboring
residences, existing municipal infrastructure, and topography. Site A- Location 2 is
identified as having level terrain, both transmission corridors are adjacent to the
site, no additional structures would be needed outside of the substation fence, and
the location of the site would be approximately 700 feet from existing residences.
3. Location 3
On -Site Alternative — Location 3 is identified as having level terrain and the 115 kV
and 230 kV that run east to west are adjacent to the site.
However, completing the proposed project at Location 3 would include the
relocation of the city -owned gravity sewer, closer proximity to existing residences
(immediately adjacent), and additional transmission structures would be required
to connect with the 230 kV transmission corridor that runs north to south. This
location is the least optimal engineering solution.
Environmental impacts would likely result including approximately 0.26 acres of
jurisdictional wetlands (Wetlands H and G shown on attached Waters of the U.S.
Map) and 252 linear feet of jurisdictional stream (Stream C shown on attached
Waters of the U.S. Map).
4. Location 4
On -Site Alternative — Location 4 is identified as having level terrain and the 115 kV
and 230 kV that run east to west are adjacent to the site.
However, completing the proposed project at Location 4 would include closer
proximity to existing residences (approximately 500 feet) and additional
transmission structures would be required to connect with the 230 kV transmission
corridor that runs north to south.
Environmental impacts would likely result including approximately 1.29 acres of
jurisdictional wetlands (Wetlands E and F shown on attached Waters of the U.S.
10

Map) and approximately 600 linear feet of jurisdictional stream (Stream B shown
on attached Waters of the U.S.
C. Avoidance and Minimization
Given the nature and need for the project, the siting of switching station is limited to the
southeast corner of subject property where the intersection of the transmission lines exist.
The applicant has identified all environmental constraints including wetlands and streams
and has taking steps to avoid and minimize including proposing to relocate and restore
the stream channel that would be impacted by the proposed lot fill. However, the size of
the station and required stormwater management facility will unfortunately result in
permanent impacts to wetlands. In order to compensate for the loss of these wetlands and
streams, the applicant is proposing to purchase mitigation credits at an approved
mitigation bank.
The proposed relocated and restored channel will mitigate impacts resulting from the
proposed access road and switching station. The proposed channel would likely result in
a functional uplift through an improved floodplain connection compared to existing
conditions. The relocated and restored stream channel will be installed to the west of the
existing stream channel approximately 100 feet at the maximum distance. The proposed
channel will tie into the existing channel (UT to Beech Branch) in two locations. The first
location includes the proposed access road and will be connected to the existing channel
through double 24 -inch culverts. The proposed channel will include several curves around
the proposed substation, then the channel follows the fall of the valley until it ties in again
at the wood line in the southwestern quadrant of the project. The proposed stream
relocation is also shown on the Preliminary Stream Mitigation Plan included as Appendix
G.
D. Compensation
As mentioned previously, the final site design proposes unavoidable permanent impacts
to 1.035 acres of wetland and 39.8 linear feet (87.12 square feet) of perennial stream
channel. Compensation for proposed impacts to wetlands is determined by multiplying the
amount of impact in acres by the mitigation compensation ratio designated for each
Cowardin classification. Mitigation ratios for wetland and stream impacts have not been
determined by the USACE as of the date of this report.
Compensation for the unavoidable permanent wetland impacts proposed as part of the
development will be provided through the purchase of wetland credits from an approved
mitigation bank with a service area covering the location of the Proposed Hathaway
Switching Station Project. Information regarding credit availability from the approved
wetland mitigation bank will be provided.

Project Report
Executive Summary
Page 1
Angler Environmental (Angler) completed a waters of the U.S. (WOUS) delineation on July 15,
2015 and October 7, 2015 in accordance with the Corps of Engineers' Wetlands Delineation
Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987), as well as the Regional Supplement to the Corps of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0) to
identify those areas that are most likely within the regulatory purview of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE). Based on the on-site field investigation of the approximately 37.01 +/- acre
project area, Angler has identified potentially jurisdictional waters of the U.S. consisting of 2.72
acres of palustrine forested wetlands, 0.002 acres of palustrine scrub shrub wetlands, 0.96 acres
of palustrine emergent wetlands, and 2,347 +/- linear feet of streams.
Methodology
Angler conducted the Routine Determination for Areas More than Five Acres, as described in the
Corps of Engineers' Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987), herein known
as the 1987 Manual, which follows a three parameter approach to identifying wetlands based on
the presence of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. All three parameters
must be present for an area to be considered a jurisdictional wetland in accordance with Section
404 of the Clean Water Act. The specific procedures and criteria for determining the presence or
absence of these parameters are presented in the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0), herein referred
to as the AGCP Regional Supplement. Other waters of the U.S. are identified based on the
presence of a high tide line or an ordinary high water mark (OHWM), pursuant to the definition of
"waters of the U.S." under Title 33 Code of Federal Regulation Part 328. Angler additionally
assesses geomorphologic, hydrologic and biological factors when identifying other WOUS.
Wetlands and other WOUS found onsite are classified according to the Cowardin system, as
described in Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et
al., 1979). This is a hierarchical classification system used to organize and describe wetlands and
deepwater habitats according to hydrologic, geomorphologic, chemical, and biological factors, and
provides uniformity of concepts and terms to define these areas. A table that describes the
Cowardin Classification System is provided in Appendix B.

Analysis
Resource Review:
Page 2
Prior to the field investigation, Angler performed a preliminary evaluation of the project area by
obtaining and reviewing available natural resource information, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Map (Appendix C), the Drake (NC) and
Whitakers (NC) U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle map (Appendix D), aerial imagery of
the project area (Appendix E), information from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural
Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soil survey (Appendix F), and any available Geographic
Information System (GIS) data.
According to the USGS Quadrangle Map provided with this report, approximately 500 linear feet of
stream channel exists on the southern border of the site, however, no wetlands are shown on-site,
as also shown on the NWI Map included with this report. The NRCS Soil Survey Information
provided shows the project area to contain soils listed to be non -hydric, hydric, and soils listed to
contain possible hydric inclusions. Analysis of this information suggests that it is highly likely that
stream and/or wetland resources exist within the project area. Accordingly, our off-site natural
resource evaluation was corroborated with an onsite inspection to characterize vegetation, soils,
and hydrology, and to define the boundaries of any potential WOUS, including wetlands, that may
be present within the project limits.
Overall Site Conditions:
As observed on the Drake (NC) and Whitakers (NC) USGS Quadrangle Map (Appendix D), the
drainage network on-site is primarily associated with the drainages to the Beech Branch. Potential
jurisdictional features can generally be found along floodplains, toe slopes, and drainage swales.
There are no existing structures on-site. The vegetative community for the project area is primarily
maturing mixed hardwoods and open semi -maintained fields. Representative data for the project
area was collected and is available for reference in Appendix G.
Vegetation:
Using the most recent available aerial imagery, a preliminary characterization of the vegetation
communities was performed for the project area. Additional data was collected during the on-site
investigation to verify the aerial extent and species composition within these communities. The
wetland indicator status for each species was determined from The 2014 National Wetland Plant
List, version 3.2 (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2014). The indicator status of a species indicates
the probability that the species will occur in a wetland of the United States, which is defined in Table
1 below.

Soils:
A hydric soil is defined as "a soil that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding
long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part" (Federal
Register, July 13, 1994). Indicators of hydric soil conditions are predominantly formed by the
reduction, translocation, and accumulation of iron or manganese, the reduction of sulfate, and/or
the accumulation of organic material. The criteria used to identify hydric soils outlined in the AGCP
Regional Supplement follows the NRCS Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States (NRCS,
2010) and are primarily focused on the evaluation of the presence of organic material (e.g., muck
or peat) or redoximorphic features (e.g., iron/manganese concentrations or depletions) within the
soil profile.
In addition to soils mapping, the NRCS also publishes a national hydric soils list. Some state or
county NRCS offices, or other local government entities, also produce local hydric soils lists, which
when available, are preferred since they are typically more current and reflective of local variations
in soil properties. Analysis of the available soils information shows that the project site is underlain
by either hydric soil or soils known to contain inclusions of hydric soils when found in low-lying
areas, such as swales and floodplains (see the Soils Map included as Appendix D). All of the
potential jurisdictional WOUS identified as part of this investigation are located in areas underlain
by either soils that contain hydric inclusions or soils that are considered to be hydric.
Table 2 provides a summary of pertinent data for the soil units mapped on the project site:

During the field investigation, soil cores were taken to a depth of at least 18 inches to describe soil
morphological characteristics in the upper part, also known as the solum. Soil characteristics
including texture and color (hue, chroma, and value) were inspected for each sample. Munsell Soil
Color Charts were used for determining the soil color. These results can be found within the data
sheets in Appendix G.
Hydrology:
Indicators of wetland hydrology are used in conjunction with hydric soils and hydrophytic vegetation
indicators to define the limits of wetlands according to the 1987 Manual and AGCP Regional
Supplement. However, while indicators of hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soils typically provide
evidence that soil saturation or inundation occurs with a frequency and duration sufficient to
develop hydric soils and a wetland plant community, indicators of wetland hydrology provide
evidence that these hydrologic conditions are continuing at that location, and that the hydric soils
and hydrophytic vegetation are not reflective of a previous hydrologic regime. The 1987 Manual
states that wetland hydrology encompasses all hydrologic characteristics of areas that are
periodically inundated or have soils that are saturated to the surface at some time during the
growing season. The evaluation of hydrology conditions during the growing season is important,
since the hydrology regime present during that time will exert a controlling influence on the plant
species present in a particular area.
The AGCP Regional Supplement divides wetland hydrology indicators into four categories;
observation of soil saturation/inundation (Group A), evidence of recent inundation (Group B),
evidence of recent soil saturation (Group C), and evidence from other site conditions or data (Group
D). These indicators are also categorized as primary or secondary indicators, based on the
estimated reliability of each within the region. The AGCP Regional Supplement requires the
presence of at least one primary or two secondary indicators of wetland hydrology for the wetland
hydrology parameter to be met. Primary hydrologic indicators include visual inundation, visual soil
saturation near the surface, the presence of oxidized root channels, water -stained leaves, sediment
deposits, drift lines and water marks on rocks and vegetation. Secondary hydrologic indicators
include, but are not limited to, a positive FAC -neutral test, the presence of wetland drainage
patterns, and local soil survey data. Evidence of most of these indicators can be present even
during dry periods, and therefore are useful indicators of the presence of wetland hydrology
conditions.

During the investigation, potentially jurisdictional features are identified on-site and the boundaries
are marked using pink wetland delineation tape. Appendix J contains a Waters of the U.S.
Delineation Map which depicts the aerial extent of the potentially jurisdictional features identified
during the investigation. Additionally, data was collected on-site to characterize representative
community types within the project limits. Data point locations can be viewed on the attached
Waters of the U.S. Delineation Map. The data collected has been compiled and is provided within
Appendix G.
Potentially Jurisdictional Features:
Jurisdictional features within the project limits can generally be found along floodplains, toe slopes,
and drainage swales. Based on the on-site field investigation of the approximately 37.701 +/- acre
project area, Angler has identified potentially jurisdictional waters of the U.S. consisting of 2.71
acres of palustrine forested wetlands, 0.98 acres of palustrine emergent wetlands, and 2,332 +/-
linear feet of streams.
The primary drainage feature on-site consists of a perennial stream entering the site from the
northeast joined by a swale from the north which continues off-site to the southwest. This main
swale is characterized by large adjacent floodplain and toe -slope seepage wetlands. Wetland soils
in these feature were commonly recorded as having a layer within the upper 12" of 10YR 4/1 or
10YR 5/1 of fine sandy loam with redox features. These soils met the Depleted Matrix (F3) hydric
soil indicator. Dominant vegetation observed in these features was a predominance of FAC or
wetter species such as Acer rubrum, Carex /urida, Impatiens capensis, Juncus effusus,
Microstegium vinineum, Rubus pensilvanicus, Sambucus nigra, Saururus cernuus, U/mus
americana, and Woodwardia areolata. Hydrology was most often recorded in these features as
having primary indicators of Saturation (A3) and Oxidized Rhizospheres along Living Roots (C3),
with secondary indicators of Crayfish Burrows (C8) and Geomorphic Position (D2).

❑B No flow, water in pools only.
❑C No water in assessment reach.
2. Evidence of Flow Restriction — assessment reach metric
®A At least 10% of assessment reach in -stream habitat or riffle -pool sequence is severely affected by a flow restriction or fill to the
point of obstructing flow or a channel choked with aquatic macrophytes or ponded water or impoundment on flood or ebb within
the assessment reach (examples: undersized or perched culverts, causeways that constrict the channel, tidal gates, debris jams,
beaver dams).
❑B Not A
3. Feature Pattern — assessment reach metric
®A A majority of the assessment reach has altered pattern (examples: straightening, modification above or below culvert).
❑B Not A
4. Feature Longitudinal Profile — assessment reach metric
❑A Majority of assessment reach has a substantially altered stream profile (examples: channel down -cutting, existing damming, over
widening, active aggradation, dredging, and excavation where appropriate channel profile has not reformed from any of these
disturbances).
®B Not A
5. Signs of Active Instability — assessment reach metric
Consider only current instability, not past events from which the stream has currently recovered. Examples of instability include
active bank failure, active channel down -cutting (head -cut), active widening, and artificial hardening (such as concrete, gabion, rip -rap).
❑A < 10% of channel unstable
❑B 10 to 25% of channel unstable

Definitions of Federal Status Codes:
E = endangered. A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range."
T = threatened. A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or
a significant portion of its range."
C = candidate. A taxon under consideration for official listing for which there is sufficient information
to support listing. (Formerly "C1" candidate species.)
BGPA =Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. See below.
FSC=Federal Species of Concern. FSC is an informal term. It is not defined in the federal Endangered
Species Act. In North Carolina, the Asheville and Raleigh Field Offices of the US Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) define Federal Species of Concern as those species that appear to be in decline or
otherwise in need of conservation and are under consideration for listing or for which there is
insufficient information to support listing at this time.Subsumed under the term "FSC" are all species
petitioned by outside parties and other selected focal species identified in Service strategic plans,
State Wildlife Action Plans, or Natural Heritage Program Lists.
T(S/A) = threatened due to similarity of appearance. A taxon that is threatened due to similarity of
appearance with another listed species and is listed for its protection. Taxa listed as T(S/A) are not
biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation. See below.
EXP = experimental population. A taxon listed as experimental (either essential or nonessential).
Experimental, nonessential populations of endangered species (e.g., red wolf) are treated as threatened
species on public land, for consultation purposes, and as species proposed for listing on private land.
P = proposed. Taxa proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened will be noted as "PE" or
"PT", respectively.
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA):
In the July 9, 2007 Federal Register( 72:37346-37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered, and
removed (de -listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. This delisting took
effect August 8,2007. After delisting, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) (16
U.S.C. 668-668d) becomes the primary law protecting bald eagles. The Eagle Act prohibits take of
bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of "take" that includes "disturb". The
USFWS has developed National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines to provide guidance to land
managers, landowners, and others as to how to avoid disturbing bald eagles. For mor information,
visit http://www.fws. og v/mi rg atorybirds/baldea lg e.htm
Threatened due to similarity of appearance(T(S/A)):
In the November 4, 1997 Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog turtle
(from New York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from
Virginia south to Georgia) was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T
(S/A) designation bans the collection and interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles
from the southern population. The T(S/A) designation has no effect on land management activities by
private landowners in North Carolina, part of the southern population of the species. In addition to its
official status as T(S/A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers the southern population of the
bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss.
Definitions of Record Status:
Current - the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years.
Historic - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago.
Obscure - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain.
http://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cntylist/nash.html 9/28/2015

Nash County Endangered Species, Threatened Species,Federal Species of Concern, and C... Page 3 of 3
Incidental/migrant - the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat.
Probable/potential - the species is considered likely to occur in this county based on the proximity of
known records (in adjacent counties), the presence of potentially suitable habitat, or both.

Subject: Re: Quick Question
Hi Anna,
Thanks for your question. You must have been looking at the following web link -
http://www.fws. gov/raleigh/species/ent. li�_counties.html
It is still accurate for federally -listed species. For Rafinesque's, I am not sure why it is not on the list, but since
it is just FSC, it is not as high a priority, and you are not required under ESA Section 7 to consider it. I do
recommend checking the list before each project, because it does change when we receive new data.
As for northern long-eared bat (NLEB), it is not yet on the list for Nash County. There are currently no records,
but that is likely because noone has surveyed in that county yet. However, since it is not on the list, you do not
need to consider it in your environmental review.
I hope this is helpful. Feel free to contact me if you have other questions.

Dear Leigh,
I am working on a project in Nash County and wanted to be sure I had the most recent information regarding
federally listed species for that county. The list by county for NC for Nash is dated 2012 and I wasn't sure if
that was still correct. There was an inconsistency in the NHP data which listed Rafinesque's big -eared bat as
a federal FSC. Also, I didn't see the long-eared bat listed. I just wanted to be sure and check in as we are

planning out the project and it looks like we are going to be clearing trees. Can you please direct me the most
recent list of federally listed T&Es for NC?
Thank you!

THE PROPOSED PROJECT WOULD IMPACT AN UNNAMED TRIBUTARYTO BEECH BRANCH. THE TRIBUTARYHAS
A DRAINAGE AREA OF APPROXIMATELY 0.2 S QUARE MILES . THE NORTH CAROLINA STREAM ASSESSMENT
METHOD (S AM) WAS US ID TO EVALUATE THE FUNCTION AND CONDITION OF THIS COAS TAL S TREAM. DUE TO
THE HIGH INFILTRATION S OILS IN THE WATERS HID, THIS S TREAM HAS FAIRLY CONS IS TENT BAS EFLO W AND
RES PONS E S ]LOWLY TO S TORM EVENTS. THE S TREAM HAS THREE DIS TINCT REACHES AS DES CRI13ED BELOW.
REACH 1 - THIS REACH CROS SES THE EXISTING HIGH TENSION POWER LINE RIGHT OF WAY AND INCLUDES THE
EXIS TING GRAVEL ACCES S ROAD. THE CHANNEL IS HEAVILY OVERGROWN WITH HERBACEOUS VEGETATION
AND LACKS WELL DEFINED CHANNEL BID FORMS. THE RIGHT-OF-WAY IS PERIODICALLY SPRAYED WITH
HERBICIDE TO KILL WOODY SPECIES. THE CHANNEL ]LACKS A WELITDEFINED FLOODPLAIN AND WAS PROBABLY
DITCHED AS PART OF THE INS TALLATION OF THE EMS TING ACCES S ROAD. THE S AM RES ULTID IN AN
OVERALL RATING OF LOW FUNCTION. THIS REACH WOUID BE IMPACTED BYTTIE RE -ALIGNMENT OF THE
ACCESS ROAD INTO THE PROPOSED SUBSTATION.
REACH 2 - THIS REACH EXTENDS DOWNSTREAM OF THE POWER LINE RIGHT OF WAY FOR APPROXIMATELY5 00
]LF. THE CHANNEL, IS INCISED AND STRAIGHTENED. THE CHANNEL, WIDTH IS 4 TO 5 FEET WIDE, WITH A DEPTH
OF 3 0 TO 3 6 INCHES. THE S UBS TRATE IS SAND AND SMALL GRAVEL OVER A CLAY S TRATUM. THE
BIDFORMS ARE POORLYDEVELIOPED WITH ONLYA FEW SHALLOW RIFFLE SECTIONS, AND ]LONG, FLAT POOLS.
THE LEFT BANK IS HEAVILY FORESTED AND S TABILIZED WITH ROOT MAT, MO S S ES AND WOODY VEGETATION.
THE RIGHT BANK S HO WS S IGNIFICANT EROS ION AND LACKS WOODY VEGETATION. MUCH OF THE RIGHT BANK
IS COVERED WITH S HALLOW ROOTED INVAS IVE GRAS S ES. THE S AM ANALYS IS INDICATES LOW FUNCTIONS
DUE TO A LACK OF FLOODPLAIN CONNECTION AND LACK OF IN -CHANNEL HABITAT. THIS REACH WOULD BE
IMPACTED BY THE FOOTPRINT OF THE PROPOSED SUBSTATION.
REACH 3 - THIS REACH EXIENDS DOWNSTREAM FROM THE REACH 2 TO BEECH BRANCH AND HAS NOT BEEN
DITCHED OR S TRAIGHTENID. THE CHANNEL, HAS A S ]LIGHT MEANDERING PATTERN. THE CROSS S ECTTON OF
THE CHANNEL IS ONLY 6 INCHES DEEP, AND IS 4 -6 FEET WIDE. THE CHANNEL IS HIGHLY CONNECTED TO ITS
FLOODPLAIN WHICH IS A MATURE FORESTED WETLAND SYSTEM WITH ALONG HYDROPERIOD. THE S TREAM
BANKS ARE S TABLE AND THE CHANNEL IS HEAVILY S HADID BY THE MATURE FORES TED FLOODPLAIN. THE
CHANNEL IS A S ANDBID SYSTEM WITH A FEW WELL DEFINED BIDFORMS . HABITAT IS PROVIDED BY ROOT
MAT GROWING OUT INTO THE CHANNEL, AND ONE SCOUR POOL AT A LOG DROP. THE SAM RESULTED IN A
FUNCTIONAL EVALUATION OF HIGH.

PROPO S ID STREAM RES TORATION DESIGN
THE RES TORATION OF THIS CORS TAL S TREAM WILL FOCUS ON RISES TABUS RING A HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL FLOODPLAIN
CONNECTION AS S UGGES TED IN THE "INFORMATION REGARDING STREAM RESTORATION WITH EMPHASIS ON COASTAL PLAN',
CORPS OF ENGINEERS, 2 0 0 7. IN ADDITION, REACH 3 IS BEING US ED AS AN ANALOG REFERENCE REACH UPON WHICH TO
TARGET DESIGN CRITERIA THE FOLLOWING ARE KEY DESIGN COMPONENTS:
NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL PLAIN BANKFULL HYDRAULIC GEOMETRY RELATIONS HIP (REGIONAL CURVE) -BASED ON THE STREAM'S
DRAINAGE AREA (0.2 S QUARE MIH THE S TREAM WOULD HAVE A BANKFULL WIDTH OF APPROXIMATELY 6 FT, A BANKFULL
DEPTH OF 0.8 FEET, AND A BANKFULL DIS CHARGE OF 5.2 CFS.
REFERENCE REACH - REACH 3 WILL. BE US ED AS A REFERENCE REACH FOR CHANNEL DES IGN. REACH 3, DFS CRIBED IN THE
EX[S TING CONDITIONS S HEET, WAS S CORED AS HIGH FUNCTIONING BAS ED ON S AM. THIS REACH VARIES FROM 5 TO 6 FEET
WIDE AT TOP OF BANK, AND 4 -6 INCHES DEEP. THE REFERENCE REACH GENERALLY r Y LACKS WELL DEFINE POOLS EXCEPT AT A
S INGLE HYDRAULIC DROP OVER A TREE ROOT WHICH GENERATES SUFFICIENT S COUR TO MAINTAIN A POOL DEPTH THAT IS 2 -4
INCHES DEEPER (6 TO 10 INCHES TOTAL) THAN THE REST OF THE REACH.
PROPOSED CROSS SECTION - THE PROPOSED BANKFULL CROSS SECTION IS BASED ON BOTH THE REFERENCE REACH AND
REGIONAL CURVE. THE PROPOSED CHANNEL CROSS SECTION HAS A4 FOOT BOTTOM WIDTH, WITH A DEPTH OF 0.5 FEET.
WITH 2:1 SIDE SLOPES THE TOP WIDTH WOULD BE 6 FEET.
PROFILE- THE PROPOSED CHANNEL WOULD HAVE A SLOPE OF - 0.005 FT/FT (0.5 %), WHICH IS COMPATIBLE WITH A COASTAL
SAND BID SYSTEM. THE SLOPE IS GOVERN BYTHE INVERT OF CULVERTS AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE REACH. THE
DESIGN OF THIS SAND BED CHANNEL DOES NOT INCLIJDE CONSTRUCTED RIFFLES AND POOLS. THESE FEATURES WILL DEVELOP
OVER TIME AS THE CHANNEL EXPERIENCES STORM EVENTS THAT SORT BID MATERIALS AND SCOUR POOLS, PARTICULARLY AT
THE LOG S TRUCTLJRES (S EE DIS CUS S ION BELOW).
HYDRAULICS - THE CHANNEL-, IS PREDICTED TO HAVE A MANNINGS "n` RANGING FROM 0.0 3 TO 0.0 4 5 DUE TO HEAVILY
VEGETATED BANKS. THE CHANNEL WOULD A BANKFULL DIS CHARGE OF 3.5 TO 5.0 CFS, AND VELOCITY OF 1 .3 - 1.9 FEET PER
SECOND. THE DISCHARGE IS COMPARABLE TO THE REGIONAL CURVE PREDICTION OF DISCHARGE, AND WITH THE REFERENCE
REACH. THE PREDICTED VELOCITIES ARE COMPATIBLE WITH A S AND BED S YS TEM. LARGER S TORM EVENTS WOULD ACCES S
THE WETLAND FLOODPLAIN WHERE VELOCITY WOULD BE CONTROLLED THROUGH DENSE VEGETATION.
PLANFORM - THE PLANFORM FOR THIS STREAM INCLIJDES SEVERAL CURVES AROUND THE PROPOSED SUBSTATION, THEN THE
CHANNEL, FOLLOWS THE FALL OF THE VALLEY. S MALL S CALE MEANDER PATTERNS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN SINCE
THE DES IGN FOCUS WAS ON FLOODPLAIN RECONNECTION. OVERTIME, THE CHANNEL WILL DEVELOP A S MAIL, S CALE MEANDER
PATTERN AS POINT BARS FORM AND THE BANKS ADJUST. THE WIDTH OF THE FLOODPLAIN PROVIDES SUFFICIENT AREA FOR THE
S TREAM TO DEVELOP AN APPROPRIATE BELT WIDTH.
LOG GRADE CONTROL/ POOL GENERATION STRUCTURES - IN SAND BID SYSTEMS A COMMON TYPE OF POOL IS THE "FORCED
POOL` FORMED BY FLOW OVER OR AROUND A ROOT, LOG OR STUMP. THE HYDRAULIC DISTURBANCE TO THE FLOW CAUSED BY
THE WOOD HELPS MAINTAIN POOLDEPTH. THE DESIGN INCLUDES LOGS SALVAGED ON-SITE AND INSTALLED APPROXIMATELY
EVERY 5 0 LINEAR FEET FLUSH WITH THE INVERT OF THE CHANNEL THE LOGS WILL INDUCE POOL SCOUR SIMILAR TO THE POOL
PRESENT IN REACH 3. THE LOG STRUCTURE WILL ALSO PROVIDE GRADE CONTROL SHOULD THERE BEA DISTURBANCE
DOWNS TREAM THAT INS TIGATES A HEADCUT.
WETLAND FLOODPLAIN - ON EACH SIDE OF THE RESTORED CHANNEL, THE DESIGN INCLUDES A WETLAND FLOODPLAIN WITH A
MINIMUM WIDTH OF 5 FEET. THE WETLAND FLOODPLAIN WOULD BE ONLY 0.5 FEET ABOVE THE INVERT OF THE S TREAM
CHANNEL, SO THAT MOST STORM EVENTS WILL ACCES S THE WETLAND FLOODPLAIN. THE WEILAND FLOODPLAIN WILL BE SEEDED
WITH A NATIVE S EED MIN AND PLANTED WITH EARLY S UCCES S IONAL WETLAND S HRUBS AND TREES. THE VEGETATION IN THE
WETLAND FLOODPLAIN WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE VELOCITIES AS WELL AS PRODUCE LARGE AMOUNTS OF ROOT MAT IN
THE CHANNEL
RIPARIAN BUFFER - THE PROPOS ED DESIGN INCLUDES ES TABLIS HING A ZONE 1 AND ZONE 2 BUFFER. BOTH BUFFER AREAS WILL
BE S EEDED WITH NATIVE S PECIES TYPICAL OF CORS TAL NORTH CAROLINA THE ZONE 1 BUFFER WILL BE PLANTED WITH WOODY
SPECIES TYPICAL OF THE FORESTS AND WETLANDS ONSITE. THE ZONE 1 BUFFER CONSISTS OF ZONE 1 A, THE 5 FOOT WIDE
WETLAND FLOODPLAIN MENTIONED ABOVE, AND ZONE 1 B, A 2 5 FOOT WIDE UPLAND RIPARIAN BUFFER PLANTING ZONE. THE
