SAW-2019-00037 County:Union U.S.G.S.Quad:NC-Catawba NE NOTIFICATION OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION Applicant: Broadstreet Homes Michael Iagnemma Address: 2526 Plantation Center Drive,Suite B Matthews,NC 28105 Telephone Number: 855-552-7623 E-mail: michaelnu,broadstreethomes.com Size(acres) 30.0 Nearest Town Waxhaw Nearest Waterway Rone Branch River Basin Santee USGS HUC 03050103 Coordinates Latitude: 34.9246247 Longitude:-80.759958 Location description: The review area is located on the north side of Waxhaw Highway; approximately 1.0 miles west of the intersection of Waxhaw Highway and North Broome Street.PINs: 5138010 and 5138011.Reference review area description shown in Jurisdictional Determination Request package entitled"Figure 1,USGS Topographic Vicinity Map"and Printed Date of 02/02/2018. Indicate Which of the Following Apply: A. Preliminary Determination ® There appear to be waters including wetlands,on the above described project area/property,that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC § 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403).The waters including wetlands,have been delineated,and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable.The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 2/13/2019. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process,including determining compensatory mitigation.For purposes of computation of impacts,compensatory mitigation requirements,and other resource protection measures,a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S.This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process(Reference 33 CFR Part 331).However,you may request an approved JD,which is an appealable action,by contacting the Corps district for further instruction. ❑ There appear to be waters including wetlands,on the above described project area/property,that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC § 1344)and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC§403). However,since the waters including wetlands,have not been properly delineated,this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation,this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters including wetlands,at the project area,which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision.We recommend that you have the waters including wetlands,on your project area/property delineated.As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner,you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. B. Approved Determination ❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(RHA)(33 USC §403)and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations,this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are waters including wetlands,on the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations,this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. SAW-2019-00037 ❑ We recommend you have the waters including wetlands,on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner,you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. ❑The waters including wetlands,on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by the Corps.The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE.We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion,this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified,this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which,provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations,may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years. ❑The waters including wetlands,have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on DATE.Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations,this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are no waters of the U.S.,to include wetlands,present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act(33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations,this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act(CAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City,NC,at(252)808-2808 to determine their requirements. Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US,including wetlands,without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act(33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material,construction or placement of structures,or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act(33 USC §401 and/or 403).If you have any questions regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program,please contact Bryan Roden-Reynolds at 704-510-1440 or bryan.roden-reynolds@usace.army.mil. C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination form dated 2/13/2019. D. Remarks: None. E. Attention USDA Program Participants This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants,or anticipate participation in USDA programs,you should request a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service,prior to starting work.

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.
