Dear Mr. Trowbridge.
ECS Carolinas, LLP (ECS) is pleased to submit this report of the jurisdictional waters/wetland
delineation for Soluga III Farm located on Dunn Road in Godwin, Cumberland County, North
Carolina. This report summarizes our findings and recommendations for the site.
Background
Soluga III Farm is located south of Dunn Road in Godwin, Cumberland County, North Carolina
The site consists of three contiguous parcels totaling approximately 82 74 -acres. According to
the Cumberland County Online GIS website, the Parcel Identification Numbers (PINs) are:
(0593-73-6514 — 38 77 acres), (0595-85-3296 — 1.67 acres), and (0593-84-7599 — 39 3 acres).
The site consists of agricultural fields and wooded land Surrounding properties consist of
agricultural fields, wooded land, and single-family residences. Based on the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map, a pond is located on the eastern portion of the
site. Structures are located on the northeastern portion of the site. ECS was contracted to
delineate jurisdictional waters including ponds, streams, and wetlands
Wetlands are defined by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as "those areas that are inundated or
saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under
normal circumstances, do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in
saturated soil conditions " In order for an area to be classified as wetland, hydrophytic
vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology indicators must be present.
Literature Review
ECS reviewed the USGS Topographic Map, the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey of Cumberland County,
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Map, the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and the
Geologic Map of North Carolina to obtain information regarding the site
• The USGS Topographic Map, Wade, NC Quadrangle (Figure 1), depicts a pond located on
the eastern portion of the site. Other surface waters are not depicted on-site.

The USDA-NRCS Soil Survey of Cumberland County (Figure 2) does not depict surface
waters on-site Soils on-site have been mapped as Coxville loam (Co), Exum loam (ExA),
and Norfolk loamy sand (NoB). Coxville loam is poorly drained and occurs on broad,
smooth flats and in shallow depressions on uplands. Exum loam is moderately well drained
and occurs on broad flats of uplands. Norfolk loamy sand is well drained and occurs on
convex ridges and smooth side slopes of uplands. According to the North Carolina Hydric
Soils List for Cumberland County, the soils listed on-site are considered to be hydric or as
having hydric inclusions
ECS reviewed the USFWS NWI Map of the site (Figure 3) The map does not identify
surface waters or wetlands on the site The map depicts a pond located on the eastern
portion of the site. A freshwater emergent wetland, mapped as PF04A, is located along the
eastern site boundary.
• ECS reviewed the FEMA -FIRM Map Service Center website. The site is depicted on the
FEMA FIRM Panel 3720058200J (Figure 4). The map indicates that the site is located in an
area that is classified as Zone X, an area outside the 0 2% annual chance floodplain
The Geologic Map of North Carolina indicates that the site is located in the Coastal Plain
Physiographic Province. The soils encountered in this area are the residual product of in-
place chemical weathering of rock presently underlying the site In general, shallow
unconfined groundwater movement within the overlying soils is controlled largely by
topographic gradients Recharge occurs primarily by infiltration along higher elevations and
typically discharges into streams or other surface water bodies. The elevation of the shallow
water table is transient and can vary greatly with seasonal fluctuations in precipitation
Movement in this water table is generally from higher to lower elevations. As such, shallow
groundwater would be expected to flow beneath the site to the east and southeast towards
Black River
Site Reconnaissance
ECS personnel conducted the site reconnaissance on February 19, 2014 During the
reconnaissance, the site was observed for evidence of ponds, streams, and wetlands. Ponds
were not identified on-site.
The site consists mostly of agricultural fields and undeveloped, wooded land Two agricultural
structures are located on the northern portion of the site and a shed is located on the
northeastern portion of the site. Surrounding properties consist of single-family residences,
agricultural land, and undeveloped, wooded land. Wetland areas are located on the northern,
eastern, southern, and central portions of the site. A jurisdictional drainage ditch is located
within the wetland area located on the central and eastern portions of the site and transects off-
site.
Soils outside of the wetland areas were bright and appeared well drained. Wetland
Determination Data Forms (DP -1 through DP -4), supporting our findings, document the
conditions encountered on the site. Copies of these Data Forms are attached. ECS flagged the
wetland boundaries with pink "Wetland Boundary" surveyor tape Figure 5 shows the
approximate locations of the stream, wetland areas, data points, and our flag numbers. Figure
5 is based on our field notes and should only be used for preliminary planning purposes

USACE & NCDENR - Field Verifications and Jurisdictional Determination
On June 3, 2014, ECS received a letter from Mr. Chad Turlington, with the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Resources
(DWR), which stated that Mr Turlington conducted a site visit on April 8, 2014 to verify our
wetland/stream delineation According to Mr. Turlington, he concurred with our stream/wetland
delineation as depicted on Figure 5. A copy of this correspondence is attached.
On April 8, 2014, Ms. Liz Hair with the USACE accompanied ECS on-site and verified our
stream and wetland delineation. Ms Hair concurred with our stream and wetland delineation as
depicted on Figure 5
ECS recommends that the wetland flagging be surveyed to accurately identify the locations and
extent of the jurisdictional areas. ECS will provide the surveyor with guidance for producing the
final survey plat required by the USACE. ECS will review the plat of the surveyed streams and
wetlands and forward it to the USACE for final written verification in the form of a Jurisdictional
Determination (JD) The JD will be valid for a period of five years from the date of issuance
General Discussion
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act regulates the discharge of dredge and fill materials into
waters of the United States (lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, etc.), including wetlands. Waters of
the United States include the territorial seas, navigable coastal and inland lakes, rivers and
streams, intermittent streams, and wetlands. Activities that could be regulated under Section
404 include the placement of fill for construction of roadways; residential, commercial or
industrial structures; and the construction of water retention ponds along tributaries The EPA
and the USACE jointly administer the Section 404 program. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act
grants each state the authority to approve, condition, or deny any Federal permits that could
result in a discharge to State waters.
Streams, ponds, and wetlands are regulated by the USACE and the North Carolina Division of
Water Resources. Permits are required prior to impacting wetlands or open waters, including
ponds, lakes, and perennial or intermittent streams Mitigation and stormwater management
plans will be a condition of any permits issued for the site Buffers may be required adjacent to
streams and water bodies.
For impacts to one-half acre or more of wetlands or open waters or to more than 300 linear feet
of stream channel, an Individual Permit (IP) may be required In addition, according to the
FIRM, there are no floodplains on/near the site. An IP may be required to authorize impacts to
wetlands located in the floodplain
An IP requires a habitat analysis, alternative site analysis, project justification, plans to avoid
and minimize impacts, and a proposed mitigation plan. Depending on the habitat analysis and
the extent of impacts, and Environmental Impact Statement may be required by the USACE An
IP allows for a public comment period and may require 4 to 18 months to obtain depending on
conditions arising during the USACE review and public comment period.

Watershed Classification/Buffer Requirements
According to the NCDENR-DWR, the site is located in the Cape Fear River Basin. Based on
the location of the site, the site is not located in a river basin/watershed subject to mandatory
state riparian buffers
ECS reviewed the Cumberland County Watershed Protection Ordinance to determine if
County has additional vegetative buffer requirements for surface waters, outside of those
regulated by the NCDENR-DWR. According to the ordinance, a mandatory minimum 50 foot
vegetative stream buffer is required on the Cape Fear River, Little River, Lower Little River,
Rockfish Creek, Little Rockfish Creek, and South River. Since the site is not located on one of
the previously listed tributaries or bodies of water, the buffer requirements for the site are
consistent with the NCDENR-DWR requirements listed above
The nearest down -gradient stream is Black River which is located east of the site. Black River
is classified as Class C, Swamp Waters (Sw). ECS reviewed the NCDENR-DWR online
stormwater permitting map to determine jurisdiction of NCDENR-DWR stormwater regulations
According to the online stormwater permitting map, the site is located in an area designated as
"state permitting authority." ECS recommends consultation with a civil engineer to determine if
mandatory vegetative buffers and/or regulated development (impervious surfaces) setbacks are
required adjacent to surface waters as a result of stormwater requirements.
