1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre -construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be ,processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, 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,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

This preliminary JD finds that there "maybe" waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

copy submittals include at least one original Plat (to scale) that is no larger than 11"x17"'
(the use of match lines for larger tracts acceptable). Additional copies of a plat, including
those larger than 1 I "x 17", may also be submitted for Corps signature as needed. The
Corps also accepts electronic submittals of plats, such as those transmitted as a Portable
Document Format (PDF) file. Upon verification, the Corps can electronically sign these
plats and return them via e-mail to the requestor.

reaches
Must include, label accordingly, and depict acreage of all waters not currently

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset — Polecat

Dear Mr. Breslow,
Secretary
S. JAY ZIMMERMAN
Director
On August 2, 2016, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources (DWR), received a request
from Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC (RES), for a site visit near the above -referenced site in
the 8 -digit Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201 of the Neuse River Basin to determine the potential for
riparian buffer mitigation and nutrient offset. On September 20, 2016, Ms. Merritt performed a site
assessment of the subject site, which is more accurately shown in the attached aerial initialed by Ms.
Merritt on October 3, 2016.
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination is
provided in the table below. The evaluation was made from Top of Bank (TOB) out to 200' for
buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (effective November 1, 2015) and nutrient offset
credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0240.

A map showing the project site and the features is provided and initialed by Ms. Merritt on October
4, 2016. This letter should be provided in all future stream, wetland, buffer or nutrient offset
mitigation plans for this Site.
This letter does not constitute as an approval of this site to generate mitigation credits. Pursuant to
15A NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to DWR for

Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0240, a proposal regarding a proposed nutrient load -reducing measure
shall be submitted to DWR for approval.
All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian

be eligible for buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being

Re: Proposed Polecat Mitigation Site, Near Hill Road and Mallard Road, Smithfield, Johnston County,
ER 16-2087
Dear Mr. Thomas:
We have received a public notice concerning the above -referenced project. We have reviewed the
information provided and offer the following comments:
There are no known historic properties in the proposed Polecat Mitigation area, which has never been
surveyed. There are several recorded archaeological sites in the upland portions of the Polecat Drainage
Area, as mapped in Figure 2, and unrecorded historic properties may be present in the parcels associated
with this project. Given its topographic and geologic characteristics as a wetland drainage the 42 -acre
proposed Polecat Site Easement itself is unlikely to contain significant archaeological sites, and we do not
recommend a survey for historic properties at this time. However, there is one historic cemetery located
approximately 150 feet south of reach K20, as mapped in Figure 7. Protective measures should be taken to
ensure that the cemetery is avoided during mitigation activities. Cemeteries are protected under North
Carolina General Statute Chapter 65. If unmarked human skeletal remains are encountered during
mitigation, the provisions of North Carolina General Statute Chapter 70, Article 3 apply, and the State
Archaeologist, Steve Claggett, should be contacted immediately. In addition, ground -disturbing mitigation
activities should immediately cease if human remains are encountered.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36
CFR Part 800.
