The subject site is a sewer-line easement located to the west of Myrtle Grove Road and south of Faulkenberry Road in Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina. The easement is associated with the Biltmark Builders ' development "Myrtle Landing" at 7220 Carolina Beach Road. As shown online at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA), Enviromapper website, the site is located in the Lower Cape Fear River Basin (HUG Code 03030005). The sewer-line will ' cross a drainage ditch/relatively permanent water (RPW) which drains into an unnamed tributary of the Intracoastal Waterway. 1 On the behalf of our client, Ms. Susan Fritzen of Biltmark Builders we are enclosing the following materials for the Pre-Construction Notification of the sewer-line construction project: • Pre-Construction Notification application • Property owner's signed letter of authorization for allowed site visits; • Driving directions and map to the site; • Map showing the location of the site (Figure 1), an aerial photograph of the site (Figure 2), a USGS Quad map with site boundaries depicted and the coordinates for the center of the site shown in deci-degrees (Figure 3), the New Hanover County Soil Survey map with the site depicted (Figure 4); the site plan (Figure 5); and the erosion control detail sheet (Figure 6). • Jurisdictional Determination Package 7211 Ogden Business Park • Suite 201 • Wilmington, NC 28411 • (910) 686-9114 • Fax (910) 686-9666 • www.ecslimited.com Asheville, NC • Charlotte, NC • Greensboro, NC • Greenville, SC • Raleigh, NC • Swansboro, NC * • Wilmington, NC * testing services only ' Pre-Construction Notification January I1, 2008 Sewer-line Easement Crossing Myrtle Grove Road Wilmington, North Carolina ' ECS Carolinas, LLP.

The easement area is forested and surrounded by residential development. 10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: As shown on Sheet 6, the sewerline will be constructed within the easement ri t-of--way which will be cleared for construction and future maintenance. A trench will be excavated and the sewerline will be buried in it. A new lift station will be constructed and the existing lift station by Faulkenberry Road will be abandoned. The sewer-line will need to cross the drainages four times as shown on the site plan. Crossings are necessary to re-route the sewer- line from the existing lift station to the new lift station, and to connect the Myrtle Landing development and a nearby development into the system. The portion of the drainages to be crossed will be protected using a check dam as detailed on the plans, Sheet 15. The profile of the ditches will be restored after construction, and excelsior matting will be applied over seed. Each ditch crossing is anticipated to take one day to complete, so the duration of impact will be minimized. Erosion control measures will remain in place until vegetation is established. 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the project is to tie municipal sewer service to the proposed development of Myrtle Landing. Prior Project History If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits, certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project, list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with construction schedules. A jurisdictional determination request was submitted to the US Army Corps of Engineers on December 14, 2007. Please see the attached Jurisdictional Review report. The drainage ditch is considered a Relatively Permanent Water (RPW), therefore the US Army Corps of Engineers has jurisdiction over the ditch. Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application. This project is associated with the Myrtle Landing Subdivision which has permit applications forthcoming. However, it is necessary that the sewer-line project proceed immediately in order to construct the new lift station that will affect other existin developments in the area. Page 7 of 13 1 i VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs maybe included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. 1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Proposed temborar~mpacts involve excavation across ditches that drain to an unnamed tributary of the Intracoastal Waterway for the purpose of a sewerline installation. The ditches will be excavated the sewerline will be buried and the profile of the ditches will be restored. The construction area will be protected by erosion control measures as shown on Sheet 15. After construction excelsior matting will be placed over seed and the~rofile of the drainage ditches will be restored. Erosion control measures will remain in place until vegetation is established. 2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and fleedin~_ t Wetland Impact Site Number (indicate on map) Type of Impact Type of Wetland (e.g., forested, marsh, herbaceous, bog, etc.) Located within 100-year Floodplain ( es/no) Distance to Nearest Stream (linear feet) Area of Impact (acres) N/A Total Wetland Impact (acres) 3. List the total acreage (estimated) of all existing wetlands on the property: none 4. Individually list all intermittent and perennial stream impacts. Be sure to identify temporary impacts. Stream impacts include, but are not limited to placement of fill or culverts, dam construction, flooding, relocation, stabilization activities (e.g., cement walls, rip-rap, crib walls, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included. To calculate acreage, multiply length X width, then divide by 43,560.

Isolated Waters ' Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ^ Yes ®No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. ' Page 9 of 13 8. Pond Creation N/A ' If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. ' Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ^ uplands ^ stream ^ wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): ' Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area: VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Mininuzation) ' Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the ro osed im acts. It ma be useful to r v' p p p y p o ide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction ' techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Temporary impacts to the ditches are necessary to construct the sewer-line within the existing easement. The unnamed tributary has been avoided by the alignment of the sewer-line However the drainaee ditches cannot be avoided. The duration of construction for the ditch crossin s has been limited to one day and the ditches will beprotected by erosion control measures as shown on Sheet 15. The existing profile of the ditches will be restored after construction is complete 1 and .the disturbed areas will be seeded and covered with excelsior matting Erosion control measures will remain in place until vegetation is established VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USAGE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide ' Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted 1 aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland ' and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. ' Page 10 of 13 1 1 1 ' ~x. 1 1 1 1 If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USAGE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o. enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Since the proposed project involves minimal temporarypacts (78 linear feet) and the ditch will be restored to its original condition, mitigation is not proposed for this project. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form.

Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: ~' Elevation of established OHWM (if known): 2. Non-regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):3 Potentially jurisdictions] waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional. Explain: ~ Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below. z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally" (e.g., typically 3 months). SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete Section IILA.1 and Section IILB.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections IILA.1 and Z and Section IILD.1.; otherwise, see Section IILB below. 1. TNW Identify TNW: Summarize rationale supporting determination: Wetland adjacent to TNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent": B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY): This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanorhave been met. The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round (perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section ITI.D.4. A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law. If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JB will require additional data to determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.l for the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.C below.

Identify specific pollutants, if known: unknown. 6A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

SIGNIFICANT NE%US DETERMINATION A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW. Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus. Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example: • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or biological integrity of the TNW? Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented below: 1.
