4a. 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 Selma Terminal currently includes seven refined petroleum storage tanks within a 27.5-acre parcel of land owned by Buckeye and recorded as North Carolina PIN 260502-974849.
The proposed project area is generally bound by undeveloped and wooded land to the north, east and south. The existing infrastructure and tank field for the Selma Terminal is located to
the immediate west of the project area. The project area is comprised of a mixed pine/hardwood forest atop gradually sloping topography that gently grades to the south and east. The
forested community on site includes an area of palustrine forested wetland located in a headwater landscape with no stream channels. The land use in the vicinity of the project is also
commercial and light industrial to the west and wooded to the north, south, and east.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past? *
Yes No Unknown
If yes, please give the DWR Certification number or the Corps Action ID (exp. SAW-0000-00000).
SAW-2019-00044,SAW-2023-02323
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.71
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
0
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the proposed project is to expand storage capacity for refined petroleum products at the existing Buckeye Selma Terminal. The facility currently has seven storage tanks,
and the proposed project would add one 124,000 bbl storage tank (Tank 48). The increased storage capacity is needed for Buckeye to provide a sufficient amount of refined petroleum
products to customers in their service area and meet the current market demand.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
Fill material is required to expand the infrastructure of the existing tank field of the Selma Terminal and construct a new 124,000 barrel (BBL) tank at the northeast extent of the existing
tank field. The amount of fill required in wetlands was minimized to the greatest extent practicable while still meeting the purpose and need of the proposed project. Fill proposed to be
placed in potential wetlands located in the drainage ditch surrounding the existing tank field and in the PFO wetland in the southern portion of the site would result in less than 1/10th of an
acre of permanent wetland impacts. The fill is needed for MLP to expand the tank field safely with enough room for the new tank (Tank 48), tank field infrastructure, and a spill retention
wall. Equipment used includes front loader, excavator, tank jacking system, and crane.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
2g. Total Permanent Wetland Impact
0.086
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Offsite project locations were not practicable; therefore, an onsite alternatives analysis was used to compare a no -action and two action alternatives.
Only the no -action alternative avoided wetland impacts, but was dismissed because it did not need the purpose and need of the project. Alternative 2
was selected as the preferred alternative because it minimized wetland impacts to less than 1/10th of an acre and meets criteria as the LEDPA.
Compensatory mitigation is not proposed due to the <1/10th of an acres of wetlands proposed for impact. Prior to selecting this location, the project
team assessed whether the tank could be placed near the southeastern corner of the project area (Alternative 1). Under this alternative, the footprint of
construction for the new tank and its spill retention wall had a large overlap with the adjacent PFO wetland and would have increased wetland impacts
when compared to Alternative 2.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The construction of the access road will take advantage of the existing access path that is not forested. Construction teams will also utilize the existing
graveled upland area to the northwest of the existing tank field as a staging area.
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?
Yes No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Impacts are less than 1/101h of an acre
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
