The facility is part of the Buckeye refined products segment, which consists of Buckeye's common carrier refined products pipeline system, independent terminals, and an ammonia pipeline system. Buckeye has the longest common carrier pipeline system for refined products and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the United States. The pipeline system extends from the Texas Gulf Coast for nearly 10,000 miles, and spans a 15-state area across the central U.S. According to Buckeye, their refined products systems include 45 million barrels of aggregate useable storage capacity at 53 connected terminals. In addition, Buckeye maintains a network of independent terminals that includes 25 refined products terminals with an approximate 6-million-barrel storage capacity. The independent terminals are located primarily in the southeastern U.S. and connect to third -party common carrier interstate pipelines, including the Colonial Pipeline and the Plantation Pipeline. The Buckeye Selma Terminal is part of the growing independent terminal network in the southeast and has been identified by Buckeye for a proposed tankfield expansion project. On behalf of Buckeye, Apex Companies LLC (Apex) has completed this Pre -construction Notification (PCN) document to provide the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) with information required under Nationwide Permit 39 regulations. The PCN includes a narrative description of the project proposed, as well as supporting documents needed to comply with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Supporting documentation includes a Request for Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) to verify the results of wetland delineation conducted by Apex in October 2023. In addition, a completed ENG Form 4345 is provided in the electronic submittal With the submittal of this PCN, the applicant respectfully requests USACE review of the proposed project activities for the purpose of authorizing a Nationwide Permit 39 for the Selma Terminal Plant Expansion Project. 1.1 Project Summary The Selma Terminal currently includes seven refined petroleum storage tanks within a 27.5-acre parcel of land (the subject property) owned by Buckeye and recorded as North Carolina PIN 260502-97-4849. The proposed project consists of expanding the above facilityto add an additional 124,000 barrel (bbl) tank (Tank 48) to the east of the current facility. Based on the existing infrastructure needs at the Selma Terminal tank field, Buckeye has identified a project area along the eastern border of the existing development of the 27.5- acre subject property that meets their criteria for the addition of Tank 48 (see Appendix A, Figure 1). 1.2 Project Area Description 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 subject property and the project area are located within the Upper Neuse River watershed (HUC 03020201) and drain into wetlands and waters associated with an unnamed tributary to the Neuse River (see Appendix A, Figure 2). The project area is comprised of a mixed pine/hardwood forest Buckeye Selma Terminal — Pre -Construction Notification (NWP 39) April 2024 atop gradually sloping topography that gently grades to the south and east. The forested community on site includes an area of paIustrine forested (PFO) wetland located in a headwater landscape with no stream channels (see Appendix A, Figure 1-4). In addition, a ditch is present around the edge of the existing tank field, classified as a headwater wetland, which conveys ephemeral stormwater runoff from Buffalo Road to an adjacent property to the south (see Appendix A, Figure 4). 1.3 Purpose and Need 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 (Tank48). 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. 2.0 ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS Due to the existing tank field layout and infrastructure of the Buckeye Selma Terminal, there is a limited amount of developable area on the subject property that is suitable to meet the purpose and need of the proposed project. Offsite alternatives to increase storage capacity were not considered because the Selma Terminal is part of Buckeye's independent network of refined product terminals. As a result, several onsite alternatives were considered for tank field expansion, as shown in the design documents in Appendix B and summarized below: • No -Build Alternative: Continued use of the existing Selma Terminal as it is currently designed, with no improvements to expand the footprint of the tank field. • Alternative 1: Expansion of the Selma Terminal to include Tank48 near the southeastern corner of the existing developed area. • Alternative 2 (Preferred Alternative): Expansion of the Selma Terminal to include Tank48 near the northeastern corner of the existing developed area. Of these, the no -build alternative was considered but dismissed, because the storage capacityof the existing tank field does not meet the purpose and need described in Section 1.3. The preferred alternative (Alternative 2) would expand the tank field near the northeastern corner of the project area (see Appendix B, Site Layout). 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 and tree clearing when compared to Alternative 2. Buckeye Selma Terminal — Pre -Construction Notification (NWP 39) April 2024 Therefore, moving the proposed location of construction to the northeast corner maximized the amount of construction in upland areas while still meeting the infrastructure needs of the existing facility. Under this preferred Alternative 2, the new tank will be placed nearly entirely in the existing upland area, limiting ditch and wetland impacts to areas needed for spill retention barriers, access road, and site grading (see Appendix B, Grading and Drainage). As such, this alternative meets the purpose and need of the project while minimizing impacts to wetland resources and forested areas. 3.0 AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION Due to the site -specific nature of the proposed project, total avoidance of impacts to wetlands is not practicable. Through the selection of the preferred alternative described above (Alternative 2), the project team proposes to minimize impacts to the greatest extent practicable while still meeting the purpose and need of the proposed project. As proposed, Alternative 2 will minimize wetlands impacts to 0.08 acres and meet the criteria as the Least Environmentally Damaging and Practical Alternative (LEDPA). 4.0 COMPENSATORY MITIGATION Under the preferred alternative, the proposed impacts for this project are estimated to be approximately 0.04 acres of PFO wetlands and 0.05 acres of PEM wetlands from three impact areas (see Appendix B, Figure 4). According to NWP 39 regulations no compensatory mitigation is required for impacts totaling less than 1/10t" of an acre; therefore, the proposed project is not anticipated to require compensatory mitigation or a compensatory mitigation plan. 5.0 JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION For the purpose of obtaining a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD), Apex completed an onsite delineation of potential Waters of the US (WOTUS), including wetlands, in October 2023. The onsite delineation was conducted using the technical criteria and methods outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual; the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region. A report describing the results of the delineation (see Appendix C) was sent to the USACE in December of 2023. Based on a verbal verification of the delineation, Apex sent an updated delineation map to the USACE dated February 2024 (see Appendix Q. A summary of potentially jurisdictional areas is provided in Table 2 below.

The wetland was characterized in the delineation report (see Appendix C) as a mixed hardwood/softwood community comprised of red maple (Acer rubrum), swamp tupelo (Nysso sylvotico), loblolly pine (Pinus toedo), sweet coast pepperbush (Clethro olnifolio), and giant cane (Arundinorio gigonteo). Sample Points Wet-DP-1 and Up-DP-4 were established in "wet" and "dry' conditions (respectively) to document conditions on both sides of the wetland boundary. A USACE data form for each sample point in the project area is provided in the wetland delineation report in Appendix C. Wetland D-1 is a ditch that originates in the northwest corner of the project area along Buffalo Road and runs parallel to the north side of the existing tankfield before taking a 90-degree turn to the south. According to Buckeye, this ditch was created out of upland several decades ago. The ditch was observed to be connected to adjacent wetlands and did not convey stream flow located upgradient or parallel to the project area. Stormwater Ponds SW-1 and SW-2 are located to the south of the existing operations area and captures runoff from the operational portion of the site. 6.0 THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES INFORMATION In accordance with 33 CFR 1341 and Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7 coordination protocol for projects that might require a federal permit, Apex conducted a database search of threatened and endangered species (or their habitats) located within the vicinity of the project area. A request was submitted to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources on March 7, 2024 for Buckeye Selma Terminal — Pre -Construction Notification (NWP 39) April 2024 information regarding rare animals, plants, natural communities, natural heritage areas, Dedicated State Nature Preserves, and Registered Heritage Areas located within the project area. In addition, a United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) project review was submitted online on January 2, 2024 (Appendix E) per USFWS regulations. A report from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NC NHP) was received on April 1, 2024. The eight species identified during the project review were Tricolored Bat (Perimyotis subflovus), Red - cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi), Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus), Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconoio mosoni), Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alosmidonto heterodon), Green Floater (Losmigono subvirdis) and Monarch Butterfly (Dononus plexippus). A description of each species is provided below, followed by a summary of results from the habitat assessments conducted by Apex biologists: Tricolored Bat is currently listed by the USFWS as a proposed federally -endangered species. This species typically makes its home in forested habitats along the leaves of live or recently dead deciduous hardwood trees, but may be found in Spanish moss, pine trees, and human structures. The bats overwinter in caves and mines. Forests are typically a dense growth of trees with underbrush covering a large tract. Apex biologists observed that the forest tract on the site is small and fragmented with little underbrush. P. subflovus is listed as proposed endangered, to be considered if the project includes turbine operations. Red -cockaded Woodpecker is currently listed by the USFWS as a federally -endangered bird species associated with certain types of mature pine forests. Longleaf pines (Pinuspolustris) are most commonly preferred for nesting and foraging, but suitable habitat can include other species of southern pine. Nest cavities are excavated in mature pines generally over 80 years old. Upon inspection of the site by Apex biologists, no suitable habitat for red -cockaded woodpeckers was observed. Loblolly pine is present onsite but was assessed to be too immature for the red -cockaded woodpecker habitat requirements, and without potential nest cavities. Additionally, Apex reviewed historic aerial photographs of the site that show the project area as cleared, agricultural land in the 1970's and 1980's, confirming the approximate age of the pine stand evaluated. Atlantic Pigtoe is listed by the USFWS as a federally -threatened mussel associated with waterways composed of course sand and gravel, silt, and/or detritus. Historically, species occurrences have been found in small creeks to larger rivers with excellent water quality, where water flow provides clean and silt -free substrate conditions. Because the project area only contains one man-made ditch, with silty and unconsolidated substrate conditions from low water volume, Apex biologists determined that suitable habitat for Atlantic pigtoe was absent. Dwarf Wedgemussel is listed bythe USFWS as a federally -endangered mussel species that typically lives in stable sand and gravel stream substrates, but may be found in a wide variety of stream environments. It is always associated with flowing water, even if the flow is mostly seasonal, but does not appear in strictly mud -bottomed pools. The project area only contains one man-made ditch within its boundaries, which has a silty unconsolidated bottom with insufficient flow to provide dwarf wedgemussel habitat; therefore, no suitable habitat was found in the project area. Neuse River Waterdog is listed by the USFWS as a federally -threatened salamander species. Habitat characteristics include low to moderate gradient streams with low velocity flow. The Neuse River Waterdog is a fully aquatic salamander that never leaves the water, lacks lungs, and obtains oxygen via external gills. It requires clean, flowing water with high dissolved oxygen concentrations, Buckeye Selma Terminal — Pre -Construction Notification (NWP 39) April 2024 and typically lives in streams wider than 20-feet across. The project area does not have streams that meet this description; therefore, no suitable habitat was found in the project area. • Carolina Madtom is also proposed for listing by the USFWS as a federally -threatened fish species. It inhabits riffles, runs, and pools in medium to large streams and rivers, ideally in freshwater waterbodies with perennial flow and moderate gradient. Suitable substrate includes silt -free, stable, gravel and cobble bottom habitat with cover for nest sites. The project area does not have waterbodies that meet this description; therefore, no suitable habitat was found in the project area. • Monarch Butterfly is listed by the USFWS as a candidate species. The species lays their eggs on obligate milkweed host plants. D. plexippus is a candidate species and not yet listed or proposed for listing. Consultation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act is not required for candidate species. This information is summarized in the Threatened and Endangered Species Report provided in Appendix E,which concludes the absence of suitable habitatforeach ofthe above species, the absence of Critical Habitat, and a "No Effect" ESA determination for all eight species. 7.0 CULTURAL RESOURCES INFORMATION In accordance with 33 CFR 1341 and National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106 coordination protocol for projects that might require a federal permit, Apex requested information regarding any historic and archaeological information pertaining to the project area from the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The written request was sent to the SHPO in February 2024 and is provided in Appendix F. Prior to making the request, Apex reviewed the Historic Preservation Office Web GIS Service (HPOGIS), which depicted that no historic or archaeological properties were located on the project area or on adjacent properties. In accordance with permit regulations, if any previously unknown cultural resources are encountered during construction activities, the USACE and SHPO will be notified to fulfill the need to initiate additional agency coordination. 8.0 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL The project -specific Erosion and Sediment Control Plan required bythe State of North Carolina is anticipated to control the introduction of sediments to surface waters during construction. As such, and per NWP 39 regulations, appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls will be used and maintained in effective operating condition during construction. All exposed soil and other fills will be permanently stabilized at the earliest practicable date. 9.0 FEMA FLOODPLAIN INFORMATION The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood insurance map number 3720260500K was reviewed to determine if any of the proposed wetland impacts would result in fill within the 100-year floodplain. A copy of the FEMA Firmette map is included as Appendix G and shows the subject property within the Zone X area of minimal flood hazard; therefore, the 100-year floodplain was determined to be absent within the subject property.

This investigation is intended to verify and build upon a delineation performed on November 8 and 21, 2018. The project area encompasses an approximately 27.5-acre parcel of land located in Johnston County, North Carolina. The project area is generally bound by undeveloped and wooded land to the north, east and south. The Buckeye Selma Terminal is located to the immediate west of the area intended for delineation. The project area is comprised of mixed hardwood/softwood forest. The project area is located within the Upper Neuse River watershed (HUC 03020201) and drains into wetlands and waters associated with the Neuse River (see Figure 1: Vicinity Map). The project area was delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual; the Regional Supplement to the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region and subsequently issued USACE regulatory guidance regarding the identification of jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands. Using these methodologies, preliminary delineation mapping was produced and is included along with the attached project area description and discussion for your review. During our delineation, approximately 0.51 acres of palustrine forested (PFO) wetlands, 0.12 acres of palustrine emergent (PEM) headwater wetlands, and 0.06 acres of pond, were identified within the project area.

The project area is comprised of mixed hardwood/softwood forest and characterized by topography hat gently grades to the south and east. Palustrine forested headwater wetlands are located in the project area. Between the existing tanks on the developed portions of the larger parcel and the undeveloped/wooded portions of the project area is a manmade ditch that directs stormwater runoff from Buffalo Road, around the tank area, to a ditch system located on a property to the south (see Figure 2: Environmental Inventory Map). 4.0 METHODS OF DELINEATION 4.1 Preliminary Offsite Investigation/Data Review A review of publicly available resources was performed prior to the onsite field investigation in order to determine if there is the potential for jurisdictional areas, and if present, the extent of these areas located within the project area. These mapping resources generally include, but are not limited to, the United States Geographical Survey (USGS) maps, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soils database, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) database. 4.2 Field Investigation The Site was delineated based upon the methodology outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual; the USACE Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region and subsequently issued USACE regulatory guidance regarding the identification of jurisdictional stream channels through the recognition of field indicators of an ordinary high-water mark within drainage features. Pre IiminaryJurisdictionaI Waters of the U.S. Delineation Package —Buckeye Partners, LP -Se I m a Terminal October 20, 2023 2 The wetland boundary was flagged with consecutively numbered pink flags labeled "Wetland Delineation" at approximately 50-foot intervals. Field data stations were established within close proximity to the flagged wetland boundary, usually within 10 to 20 feet, in order to document upland and wetland conditions existing along the jurisdictional boundary. Field data stations were labeled and marked with blue flagging in the field. The four corners of the project area are marked with solid yellow and blue flagging. Features identified in the field were GPS (sub -meter accuracy) located for the study area. Photographs were taken of the field data stations to depict existing site conditions along the delineation boundary. Field data sheets are included in Appendix A. Site photographs collected during the field delineation are included in Appendix B. 5.0 DELINEATION FINDINGS 5.1 Preliminary Offsite Investigation/Data Review Findings The Selma, North Carolina USGS map depicts the majority of the project area as open field. The project area has limited topographic relief, and generally sits at an elevation of 170-feet above mean sea level (msl). Surface flow appears to be in a general east direction toward an unnamed tributary of the Neuse River. (see Figure 1: Site Location Map). The NRCS soils identifies four soil series within the project area. The two (2) soils on the northern half of the project area are identified as Goldsboro sandy loam and Udorthents, loamy. The soil on the eastern border of the property is Norfolk loamy sand. The two (2) soil series located in the lower half of the project area are Lynchburg sandy loams and Rains sandy loams. Rains sandy loam soils are listed in the "Hydric Soils of the United States". NW mapping depicts three nationally classified wetlands within the project area. The project area is Palustrine forested, broad-leaved deciduous, temporarily flooded wetland depicted in the forested area to the north, east, and south portions of the site (see Figure 2: Environmental Inventory Map). 5.2 Onsite Determination/Findings 5.2.1 Potentially Jurisdictional Area Summary The onsite delineation identified the presence of two wetland areas, one PFO headwater wetland to the southeast of the site and one PEM headwater wetland following the man-made ditch within the project area. These areas are described in detail below. 5.2.2 Wetland Areas Wetland 1 (W-1) W-1 is a palustrine forested (PFO) headwater wetland, located to the southeast of the existing industrial facility. Within the approximately 27.5-acre project area, this headwater wetland is characterized by a mixed hardwood/softwood overstory comprised of red maple (Acer rubrum) and swamp tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica), sweet coast pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia) in the shrub layer and giant cane (Arundinaria gigantean) in the understory. Sample Points WetDP-1 and UpDP-4 were established in "wet" and "dry" conditions respectively to establish the wetland/non-wetland boundary. Wetland area W-1 is defined by wetland flags A-1 through A-11. Pre IiminaryJurisdictionaI Waters of the U.S. Delineation Package —Buckeye Partners, LP -Se I m a Terminal October 20, 2023 3 Ditch 1 (D-1) One ditch is located on the Site that originates in the northwest corner of the property along Buffalo Road, runs parallel to the north side of developed portions of the property, before taking a 90- degree turn and extending in a south direction through the west side of the project area. A berm (composed of side -cast material) runs parallel to the 3-foot wide ditch which separates the ditch from the surrounding land. For the purpose of this report and permitting, the bottom of the ditch is classified as a PEM headwater wetland. According to onsite managers, this ditch was created out of upland several decades ago. Based on our onsite observations, this linear feature is not connected to adjacent wetlands, not a conduit for stream flow located upgradient, or parallel to the project area. 5.2.3 Pond Area Stormwater Ponds SW-1 and SW-2 are located to the south of the existing operations area and captures runoff from the operational portion of the site. 5.2.4 Delineated Area Summary A summary of the jurisdictional areas identified onsite is provided below in Table 1: Delineated Areas Summary. The location and size of jurisdictional areas delineated onsite are shown on Figure 3: Preliminary Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. Delineation Map. Table 1: Delineated Area Summary Area Description PFO (Acres) Pond (Acres) PEM (Acres) Wetland 1 (W-1) 0.51 Ditch 1 (D-1) 0.12 SW-1 0.04 SW-2 0.02 Total 0.51 0.06 0.12 Notes: 1) PFO = palustrine forested wetlands 2 PEM = palustrine emergent wetlands 5.2.4 upiana Hrea Summary The remainder of the project area is made up of upland terrace, which is located to the north of Area A. Vegetation in the upland area consists primarily of sweet gum (Liquidambarstyraciflua), black walnut (Juglans nigra), magnolia (Magnolia virginiana), and red oak (Quercus rubra) in the overstory; giant cane, magnolia and sweet coast pepperbush in the shrub layer, and giant cane, magnolia, sweet pepper, in the herbaceous layer. Soils in the upland area are observed to have 10 YR 3/3 and 10 YR 5/3 matrix colors with no redoximorphic features and no indicators of wetland hydrology.

Grace Nottingham Print Name Capacity: ❑ Owner ❑✓ Authorized Agents 11 /28/2023 Date Signature E. REASON FOR JD REQUEST: (Check as many as applicable) ❑ I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this parcel which would be designed to avoid all aquatic resources. ❑✓ I intend to construct/develop a projector perform activities on this parcel which would be designed to avoid all jurisdictional aquatic resources under Corps authority. ❑ I intend to construct/develop a projector perform activities on this parcel which may require authorization from the Corps, and the JD would be used to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional aquatic resources and as an initial step in a future permitting process. ❑ I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this parcel which may require authorization from the Corps; this request is accompanied by my permit application and the JD is to be used in the permitting process. ❑ I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities in a navigable water of the U.S. which is included on the district Section 10 list and/or is subject to the ebb and flow of the tide. A Corps JD is required in order obtain my local/state authorization. I intend to contest jurisdiction over a particular aquatic resource and request the Corps confirm that jurisdiction does/does not exist over the aquatic resource on the parcel. ❑ I believe that the site may be comprised entirely of dry land. ❑ Other: For NCDOT requests following the current NCDOT/USACE protocols, skip to Part E. a If there are multiple parcels owned by different parties, please provide the following for each additional parcel on a continuation sheet. s Must provide agent authorization form/letter signed by owner(s). Version: May 2017 Page 3 Jurisdictional Determination Request F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One) I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary 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.

For Approved Jurisdictional Determinations: Jurisdictional wetland features should be labeled as Wetland Waters of the US, 404 wetlands, etc. Please include the acreage of these features. Jurisdictional non -wetland features (i.e. tidal/navigable waters, tributaries, impoundments) should be labeled as Non -Wetland Waters of the US, stream, tributary, open water, relatively permanent water, pond, etc. Please include the acreage or linear length of each of these features as appropriate. Isolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non - jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non -Jurisdictional. Please include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non jurisdictional (i.e. "Isolated", "No Significant Nexus", or "Upland Feature"). Please include the acreage or linear length of these features as appropriate. For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations: Wetland and non -wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404, Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction.

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: SUPPORTING DATA.

Project Area Summary The site encompasses the 27.5-acre parcel of land located in Johnston County, North Carolina. The Buckeye Selma Terminal is located to the immediate west of the project area and is located at 4414 Buffalo Road, Selma, North Carolina. The project area is located within the Upper Neuse River watershed (HUC 03020201) and drains into wetlands and waters associated with the Neuse River (see Figure l: Vicinity Map). The project area is generally bound by undeveloped and wooded land to the north, east and south. The Buckeye Selma Terminal is located to the immediate west of the project area. The project area is comprised of mixed hardwood/softwood forest and characterized by topography that gently grades to the south and east. Palustrine forested headwater wetlands are located in the project area. Between the existing tanks on the developed portions of the larger parcel and the undeveloped/wooded portions of the project area is a non - jurisdictional ditch that directs stormwater runoff from Buffalo Road, around the tank area, to a ditch system located on a property to the south (see Figure 2: Environmental Inventory Map). Biological Resources In accordance with procedures directed by the North Carolina Natural Heritage office, a letter requesting listings of any threatened and endangered animal, insect, or plant species or their habitats located within the vicinity of the project area was been sent to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources on March 7, 2024. In addition, a United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) project review was completed online on April 17, 2024. Apex reviewed the Historic Preservation Office Web GIS Service (HPOGIS), which depicted that no historic or archaeological properties were located on the Project Area or on adjacent properties. Apex Companies, LLC • 203 Wylderose Court • Midlothian, VA 23113 T 804.897.2718 • F 804.897.2794 • www.apexcos.com USFWS On April 17, 2024 an Online Project Review was completed utilizing the USFWS's online resources for project review. According to the Species Conclusion Table, eight species were identified, Tricolored Bat (Perimyotis subfavus), Red -cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi), Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus), Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), Green Floater (Lasmigona subvirdis) and Monarch Butterfly (Dananus plexippus). However, these species are not located within the proposed work area. According to the USFWS Species Fact Sheet for Tricolored Bad (Perimyotis subfavus, Proposed Endangered), this species typically makes its home in forested habitats along the leaves of live or recently dead deciduous hardwood trees, but may be found in Spanish moss, pine trees, and human structures. The bats overwinter in caves and mines. Forests are typically a dense growth of trees with underbrush covering a large tract. The forest tract on the site is small and fragmented with little underbrush. P. subfavus is listed as proposed endangered, to be considered if the project includes turbine operations. According to the USFWS Species Fact Sheet for Red -cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis, Endangered), this species typically makes its home in mature pine forests. Longleaf pines (Pinus palustris) are most commonly preferred but other species of southern pine are also acceptable. Cavities are excavated in mature pines, generally over 80 years old. Upon inspection of the site, no bored -out cavities were observed. Additionally, Apex reviewed historic aerial photographs of the site which depicts the project area as cleared, agricultural land in the 1970's and 1980's. Due to the use of the project area as agricultural land in the 1970's and 1980's, the tree stand within the project site is not mature enough to support P. borealis habitat. According to the USFWS Species Fact Sheet for Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi, Threatened), is found only in the Neuse and Tar -Pamlico river basins in medium to large streams and rivers.. The species is fully aquatic and is usually found in cold streams that are 15 meters or wider. The project area only contains one man-made ditch within its boundaries. This ditch has a silty, unconsolidated bottom, with insufficient flow to provide N. lewisi habitat. Final critical habitat for the species has been determined and the project area does not overlap. According to the USFWS Species Fact Sheet for Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus, Endangered), is only found in the Neuse River basin in riffles, runs, and pools in medium to large streams and rivers. The ideal habitat is fresh water with continuous flow, and a silt free, stable bottom. The project area only contains one man-made ditch within its boundaries. This ditch has a silty, unconsolidated bottom, with insufficient flow to provide N. furiosus habitat. Final critical habitat for the species has been determined and the project area does not overlap. According to the USFWS Species Fact Sheet for Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni, Threatened), the preferred habitat is "course sand and gravel, and rarely in silt and detritus. Historically, the best populations existed in small creeks to larger rivers with excellent water quality, where flows were sufficient to maintain clean, silt -free substrates." The project area only contains one man-made ditch within its boundaries. This ditch has a silty, unconsolidated bottom, with insufficient flow to provide F. masoni habitat. Final critical habitat for the species has been determined and the project area does not overlap. According to the USFWS Species Fact Sheet for Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon, Endangered), this species appears to prefer stable sand and gravel areas for streams, but may be found in a wide variety of stream environments. It is always associated with flowing water, even if the flow is mostly seasonal. It does not appear in strictly mud -bottomed pools. The project area only contains one man-made Apex Companies, LLC • 203 Wylderose Court • Midlothian, VA 23113 T 804.897.2718 • F 804.897.2794 • www.apexcos.com APEX ditch within its boundaries. This ditch has a silty, unconsolidated bottom, with insufficient flow to provide A. heterodon habitat. According to the USFWS Species Fact Sheet for Green Floater (Lasmigona subvirdis, Proposed Threatened), this species appears to prefer stable sand and gravel areas for streams where they are able to establish a foothold and can bury themselves. It is always associated with flowing water, from slow to medium. It does not appear in strictly mud -bottomed pools. The project area only contains one man-made ditch within its boundaries. This ditch has a silty, unconsolidated bottom, with insufficient flow to provide L. subvirdis habitat. Proposed critical habitat for the species has been determined and the project area does not overlap. According to the USFWS Species Fact Sheet for Monarch Butterfly (Dananus plexippus, Candidate), this species lays their eggs on obligate milkweed host plants. The D. plexippus is a candidate species and not yet listed or proposed for listing. Consultation with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act is not required for candidate species. Summary In accordance with 33 CFR 1341 and Section 7 coordination protocol for projects that might require a federal permit, Apex Companies LLC (Apex) conducted a database search of threatened and endangered animal, insect, and/or plant species or their habitats located within the vicinity of the project area. Apex reviewed the species list of threatened or endangered species that might occur within the project area and has determined that none of the listed species are present nor would the project area provide suitable habitat for any of the listed species.

Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here: httgs://www.fws.gov/offices/D i rectory/ListOffi ces.cfm?statecode=37. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally - listed species are documented near the project area.

WrWKlf 04/17/2024 11:29:28 UTC Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project location or may be affected by your proposed project To Whom It May Concern: The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If your project area contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species on this species list, the proposed action has the potential to adversely affect those species. If suitable habitat is present, surveys should be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys. New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered Project code: 2024-0031787 04/17/2024 11:29:28 UTC species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: https://www.fws. gov/sites/defaultlfiles/documents/endangered-species-consultation- handbook.pdf Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more information regarding these Acts, see https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-bird-permit/what- we-do. The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan (when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and recommended conservation measures, see https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds. In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/partner/council-conservation- migratory-birds. 2of11 Project code: 2024-0031787 04/17/2024 11:29:28 UTC We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office.
