Longitude: -78.741034
Location description: The project area is a pond dug in upland located near 4583 Old Buies Creek Road. The pond is located
on parcel:0673-72-7501.000.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
❑ There appear to be WATERS 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
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 DATE.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 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 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 at the project area,which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable
permit decision.We recommend that you have the WATERS 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 WATERSon 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.

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 have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory
Official identified below onDATE.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

U.S.ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, WILMINGTON DISTRICT
69 DARLING AVENUE
' WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28403
SAW-RG-L 22, January 2024
MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Approved Jurisdictional Determination
in accordance with the "Revised Definition of `Waters of the United States"'; (88 FR
3004 (January 18, 2023) as amended by the "Revised Definition of `Waters of the
United States'; Conforming" (8 September 2023) ,' [SAW-2022-02632] [(MFR 1 of 1)]2
BACKGROUND. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a Corps document
stating the presence or absence of waters of the United States on a parcel or a written
statement and map identifying the limits of waters of the United States on a parcel.
AJDs are clearly designated appealable actions and will include a basis of JD with the
document.3 AJDs are case-specific and are typically made in response to a request.
AJDs are valid for a period of five years unless new information warrants revision of the
determination before the expiration date or a District Engineer has identified, after public
notice and comment, that specific geographic areas with rapidly changing
environmental conditions merit re-verification on a more frequent basis.4
On January 18, 2023, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department
of the Army ("the agencies") published the "Revised Definition of `Waters of the United
States,"' 88 FR 3004 (January 18, 2023) ("2023 Rule"). On September 8, 2023, the
agencies published the "Revised Definition of `Waters of the United States';
Conforming", which amended the 2023 Rule to conform to the 2023 Supreme Court
decision in Sackett v. EPA, 598 U.S., 143 S. Ct. 1322 (2023) ("Sackett').
This Memorandum for Record (MFR) constitutes the basis of jurisdiction for a Corps
AJD as defined in 33 CFR §331.2. For the purposes of this AJD, we have relied on
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (RHA),5 the 2023 Rule as amended,
While the Revised Definition of"Waters of the United States"; Conforming had no effect on some
categories of waters covered under the CWA, and no effect on any waters covered under RHA, all
categories are included in this Memorandum for Record for efficiency.
2 When documenting aquatic resources within the review area that are jurisdictional under the Clean
Water Act (CWA), use an additional MFR and group the aquatic resources on each MFR based on the
TNW, the territorial seas, or interstate water that they are connected to. Be sure to provide an identifier to
indicate when there are multiple MFRs associated with a single AJD request (i.e., number them 1, 2, 3,
etc.).
333CFR331.2.
4 Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-02.
5 USACE has authority under both Section 9 and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 but for
convenience, in this MFR,jurisdiction under RHA will be referred to as Section 10.

5. FLOWPATH FROM THE SUBJECT AQUATIC RESOURCES TO A TNW, THE
TERRITORIAL SEAS, OR INTERSTATE WATER.
There is no continuous flow path from the open water pond labeled `Pond-1' to the
Cape Fear River. During high water conditions the pond overflows at the lowest
point at the west corner. The flow path leaving the pond is not a confined channel
and does not have an Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM), but appears as overland
sheet flow into wetlands located approximately 50 feet from the pond dam. The
wetlands consolidate into a tributary of West Buies Creek that flows into Buies Creek
and then into the Cape Fear River.
6. SECTION 10 JURISDICTIONAL WATERS6. Describe aquatic resources or other
features within the review area determined to be jurisdictional in accordance with
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. Include the size of each aquatic
resource or other feature within the review area and how it was determined to be
jurisdictional in accordance with Section 10.7 [N/A]
7. SECTION 404 JURISDICTIONAL WATERS: Describe the aquatic resources within
the review area that were found to meet the definition of waters of the United States
in accordance with the 2023 Rule as amended, consistent with the Supreme Court's
decision in Sackett. List each aquatic resource separately, by name, consistent with
the naming convention used in section 1, above. Include a rationale for each aquatic
resource, supporting that the aquatic resource meets the relevant category of
"waters of the United States" in the 2023 Rule as amended. The rationale should
also include a written description of, or reference to a map in the administrative
record that shows, the lateral limits of jurisdiction for each aquatic resource,
including how that limit was determined, and incorporate relevant references used.
Include the size of each aquatic resource in acres or linear feet and attach and
reference related figures as needed.
Following the Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination verified on July 17, 2023 the
applicant requested the area of Pond-1 be reviewed under an Approved
6 33 CFR 329.9(a)A waterbody which was navigable in its natural or improved state, or which was
susceptible of reasonable improvement (as discussed in §329.8(b)of this part) retains its character as
"navigable in law" even though it is not presently used for commerce, or is presently incapable of such
use because of changed conditions or the presence of obstructions.
This MFR is not to be used to make a report of findings to support a determination that the water is a
navigable water of the United States. The district must follow the procedures outlined in 33 CFR part
329.14 to make a determination that water is a navigable water of the United States subject to Section 10
of the RHA.
