Subject: Wetlands Delineation Report, Request for Boundary Confirmation,
and Pre-Construction Notification

801 US Highway 17 North
Shallotte, Brunswick County, North Carolina
ECA Project Number: J-764-4
Dear Regulatory Specialist:
Environmental Corporation of America (ECA) on behalf of BC Architects Engineers, PLC has
prepared this Wetlands Delineation Report and Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) to request a
wetland boundary confirmation and obtain authorization for wetlands impacts associated with
construction of a telecommunications compound access road, which is shown in Figures 1 and 2
of Appendix A. The telecommunications project will include the construction of a 254-foot self-
supporting lattice telecommunications tower, a 100-foot by 100-foot equipment compound, and
an approximate 800-foot by 20-foot access drive. We would like to request your review of the
enclosed information and US Army Corps of Engineers authorization for the proposed wetland
impacts.
Background
Based on the apparent presence of wetlands on and adjacent to a portion of the proposed access
drive, BC Architects Engineers, PLC retained ECA to perform a Wetlands Delineation at the
project site and to prepare a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) for any impacts that may
occur as a result of the proposed project activities.

Based on our site visit and wetlands delineation, ECA found that portions of the proposed access
are located in wetlands which will be impacted as a result of the proposed project. Based on our
initial delineation, the proposed project would result in a total of approximately 1,600 square feet
of forested wetland impacts located in one area of the proposed access drive. ECA understands
that no formal compensatory mitigation will be required for the proposed impacts, but that the
proper authorizations must be obtained. Based on these findings, we have included the
completed Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form (Appendix B) and the
required supporting documentation for your review.
We are requesting that the proposed impacts be authorized under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 39.
It is our understanding that the North Carolina Division of Water Quality has issued a blanket
401 Water Quality Certification for projects authorized under NWP 39.
Purpose
The purpose of the Wetlands Delineation was to delineate jurisdictional waters and wetland
areas on the subject tract in accordance with accepted U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Guidance,
if any such areas exist.
This report has been prepared as documentation required for submittal of a PCN to obtain the
proper authorizations for proposed wetland impacts at the project site.
Scope of Work
The following scope of work was completed to fulfill the project purpose:
• A review of available soils data, topographic maps, surveys, and aerial photographs was
conducted to obtain background information regarding site elevations, soil characteristics,
site drainage, and vegetative cover.
• Afield investigation was conducted to examine the subject property for jurisdictional waters
and to delineate jurisdictional waters and wetland boundaries.
• Jurisdictional waters and wetlands were identified in accordance with the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual, 1987, the only guidance currently acceptable for
performing jurisdictional boundary determinations.
• This Wetlands Delineation Report was prepared. The report contains documentation of our
work, our findings, and our conclusions.
• A Pre-Construction Notification was prepared using the available Pre-Construction
Notification Application Form.

Location and Site Description
The subject site and proposed access are located as shown in Figures 1 and 2 of Appendix A.
The subject site is a lease area located on a larger parent tract, as shown on Figure 2. The
proposed access drive will generally lead in a northerly direction from US Highway 17 to the
proposed compound. The proposed compound (100-feet by 100-feet) will be located in a
agricultural field on the parent tract.
Review of Resources
ECA reviewed the USGS, Shallotte, North Carolina, 7.5-Minute Topographic Quadrangle Map
and aerial photography. ECA also reviewed online soils data for Brunswick County, North
Carolina. The USGS topographic map for the site is included as Figure 1 in Appendix A. Soils
data for the project site is included in Appendix C.
On-Site Determination
Because field determination that a particular area is a jurisdictional wetland requires positive
identification of three wetland characteristics (wetland hydrology, hydric soils, and hydrophytic
vegetation), ECA investigated the subject tract for the presence of these three characteristics.
The wetlands determination was performed by Ben Salter of ECA on July 1, 2008.
ECA collected data on physical and ecological characteristics from areas on the parent tract. The
locations are generally shown on Figure 2 of Appendix A. Wetland Data Sheets for each of the
locations sampled are included in Appendix D. A discussion of our wetlands determination is
provided in the following paragraphs.
Soils
To determine if wetland soils and hydrology were present, two Data Points, inclusive of soil test
holes, were established in the approximate locations shown on Figure 2 of Appendix A (DP-1
and DP-2). The Wetland Data Forms completed for these data points are included in Appendix
D.
At all Data Points, soil was removed to a depth of 16 to 18 inches. A profile of the surface strata
was extracted from the hole using a shovel. The Munsell color of the soil removed from the test
hole was determined and recorded on the Wetland Data Forms in Appendix D.
Soil observed at DP-1 was a light gray sandy loam with 90% organic coated sand grains from 0
to 6 inches. Soil from 6 to 10 inches was comprised of mixed light gray, very dark gray, and
dark grayish brown sandy loam. Soil from 10 to 18 inches was comprised of 50% olive yellow
and 50% brownish yellow sandy loam.
F: PROJECT/2008proj/J-764-4/j 7644wet.doc
Page 4
Soil observed at DP-2 was a brown sandy loam to approximately 8 inches. Soil from 8 to 12
inches was a dark grayish brown sandy loam. Soil from 12 to 16 inches was a light yellowish
brown sandy loam.
All data points appear to be mapped as Goldsboro fine sandy loam according to the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) Web Soil Survey for Brunswick County, North
Carolina. These soils are moderately well drained, but listed by NRCS as hydric in Brunswick
County. Based on the field investigation, it appears that soil at DP-1 would be characterized as
hydric.
Hydrology
ECA allowed each test hole to remain open for approximately 1/2 hour. Neither groundwater nor
saturation was encountered at either data point. However, much of the southeastern United
States, and particularly eastern North Carolina, have been under extreme drought conditions.
Although no groundwater or saturation was observed, multiple indicators of wetland hydrology
were observed at Data Point 1. These included water stained leaves, adventitious roots, FACN
vegetation, and mapped hydric soils. Based on the presence of these indicators, it appears that
wetland hydrology is present in the area surrounding Data Point 1. Only one secondary
hydrologic indicator (mapped hydric soils) was present at Data Point 2. Therefore, wetland
hydrology does not appear to be present in the area surrounding Data Point 2.
Vegetation
ECA conducted a survey of the vegetative community surrounding Data Points 1 and 2. We
identified the species, which were most dominant in the plant community surrounding these data
points.
The indicator status of plants that inhabit wetland environments are published in the National
List of Vascular Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary. ECA
referenced the wetland indicator status of each identified plant species.
The vegetation surrounding DP-1 was dominated by red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum
(Liquidambar styrac flua), red bay (Persea borbonia), and cinnamon fern (Osmunda
cinnamomea). Of the species identified, 100% were FAC or wetter (excluding FAC-).
Vegetation surrounding DP-1 would meet the wetland vegetative criteria.
The vegetation surrounding DP-2 was dominated by loblolly pine (Ponus taeda), wax myrtle
(Myrica cerifera), and red maple. Of the species identified, 100% were FAC or wetter
(excluding FAC-). Vegetation surrounding DP-2 would also meet the wetland vegetative
criteria.
F:PROJECT/2008proj/J-764-4/j 7644wet. doc
Page 5
Based on the indicator status of the vegetation identified at each of the Data Points, it appears
that the vegetation surrounding both data points contained dominant hydrophytic vegetation.
Boundary and Buffer Determination
ECA determined that all three criteria for a positive wetland determination were present in the
area represented by DP-1. Therefore, in our opinion, it is likely this areas would be considered
jurisdictional wetland. The approximate location of the wetlands identified at the site is shown
in Figure 2 of Appendix A. Wetland boundary flags placed at the site by ECA included flag
numbers A 1 through A26.
Based on the boundary identified in the field and route of the proposed access drive, it appears
that approximately 80 feet of the 20-foot wide access drive would lie within the identified
wetland area.
The remainder of the proposed access drive and telecommunications compound appears to be
located in uplands and would not be subject to USACE jurisdiction.
Site Selection, Alternatives Considered, and Avoidance and Minimization
The selection of suitable sites for wireless telecommunications facilities is based primarily on the
established grid within a specific service area. As such, there is limited flexibility when
selecting the exact locations of new facilities to allow for factors such as acceptable coverage,
available sites, and sites which are environmentally sensitive. The proposed tower site was
chosen based on the willingness of the property and the proximity of the proposed location to the
desired wireless service radius.
It appears that the subject wetland system is situated in an east to west direction along the tree
line located north of the grassed field that lies along US Highway 17. The floodplain and
associated wetlands of Shallotte River lie approximately 300 to 400 feet to the east of the
proposed impact area. What appears to be a much wider wetland area lies to the west of the
proposed impact area. By placing the proposed access in its current location and perpendicularly
across the subject wetland, less total wetland impact will occur than would if the drive was
located to the east or west on the parent tract.
Conclusions
Based on the information collected during this project and the resources reviewed, forested
wetlands are present within the proposed access drive. Based on the area of the proposed
impacts (less than 1/10th acre) no formal compensatory mitigation will be required. However,
ECA would like to request a letter of authorization for the proposed impacts from the US Army
Corps of Engineers.

As shown on the attached surveyy, the proposed access will be located within a narrow strip of
land between the main portion of the parent tract and Highway 17. This narrow strip is owned
by the parent tract owner, Mr. John Frink, and is ideal for the placement of an access road. In
addition, access to utilities is readily available along Highway 17, so it is most feasible to have
the access originate at Highway 17.
This strip stretches from Highway 17 to the treeline that lies along the southern boundary of the
larger portion of the parent tract (as shown in site survey). An existing farm trail is present
through the wooded area northeast of the access strip and is located approximately 100-feet to
the east of the proposed access at the tree line and extends to the parent tract field to the north.
As shown in the site plan, the proposed access will make a turn to the northeast after entering the
wooded area. This turn was designed so that the proposed access drive could utilize the existing
trail as much as possible while maintainin theme required shallow turning radii needed for tower
construction equipment to access the site.
The proposed access shown on the site plan represents the most direct route from Highway 17 to
the site. This route would reduce total wetland impacts by crossing the subject wetland in a
end perpendicular nature and utilizing the existing access trail where possible. Due to
direction of the narrow access strip between the parent tract wooded area and Highway 17 and
the need for shallow turning radii, the proposed access is forced to extend northward into the
wooded area and across the identified wetland area located just inside the woods north of the
access strip.
There is an existing tractor path used to access the parent tract field from Highway 904. This
path crosses through property owned by a different owner than that of the parent tract. This
existing path was not utilized due to excessive expenses associated with establishing an easement
on the adjacent property owner's land and with tying-in to required utilities at Hwy
The selection of suitable sites for wireless telecommunications facilities is based primarily on the
established ,grid within a specific service area. As such, there is limited flexibility when selecting
the exact locations of new facilities to allow for factors such as acceptable coveLgge available
sites, and sites which are environmentally sensitive. The proposed tower site was chosen based
on the willingness of the property and the proximib? o the proposed location to the desired
wireless service radius.
As you know wetlands are prevalent in the coastal counties of North Carolina. Finding a site
within the established grid that had a willing land owner and absolutely no wetlands or
floodplain issues would be very difficult if not impossible The wetlands impacts that would
result from the proposed project would be minimal in nature. The proposed access road would
be _gravel covered and clearing would be limited only to a 20-foot wide area. Although the
wetland area that is to be impacted is located near the Shallotte River floodplain it is not within
the floodplain, and appears to be connected the Shallotte River only through occasional overland
sheet flow that would be routed first through a culvert located on the northern end of the wetland
area and then overland down slope to the Shallotte River floodplain. The Shallotte River lies at
its closest point approximately 650 feet north-northeast of the proposed impact area The entire
area located between the subject wetland and the Shallotte River is heavily wooded and covered
Updated 11/1/2005

with a thick laver of leaf litter and will remain so during and after the proposed project activities.
An upland area appears to lie between the subject wetland/proposed access drive and the
Shallotte River floodplain and its primary adjacent wetlands. Although the subject wetland area
qpnears to be connected to the wetlands adjacent to the Shallotte River, it does not appear that it
would be considered directly adjacent.
Please keep in mind that wireless telecommunications service is essential to emergency
management personnel and to area citizens/visitors in emergency situations and for daily
communication. A strong wireless telecommunications signal in this area is also beneficial to
the economic development of the surrounding area including the Grissett Town crossroads
located southwest of the proposed site at the intersection of Hwy 17 and Hwy 904.
MI. 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.
USACE - 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
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.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE 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 (see DWQ website for most current
version.).
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.
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 11 of 14
Please see justification e or impacts above. Based on these points, we do not believe that
compensatory mitigation is necessary for the proposed impact since adverse effects to the
aquatic environment will be minimal. In addition, based on the current EEP fees for the HUC in
which the project lies, mitigation would cost $14,900. or riparian impacts and $10,750, or non-
r?parian impacts. These values are excessive for less than 0.05 acres of impact given that no
mitigation is generally required or impacts of less than 0.1 acres in most areas of the US. In
addition, the owner o the parent tract on which the project site lies is not interested in releasing
any additional property than is currently to be leased. The requirement to purchase any
additional property. or placement into a conservation easement could also potentially deem the
project infeasible due to cost.
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
[phone] 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. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://www.nceep.net/paizes/inlieureplace.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed,
please check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):
IX. Environmental Documentation tequired by DWQ
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of
public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No
2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers tequired by DWQ
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 12 of 14
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.

XHI. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No
XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: The
proposed wetland impacts will include the placement of crushed stone in an existing depressional
area that appears to be connected to the Shallotte River floodplain by overland sheet flow only.
The area lying between the proposed impact area and the Shallotte River is characterized as
heavily wooded with a thick laver of leaf litter and will remain so during and after project
completion. Based on the fill materials used and the landscape position of the fill area with
respect to the Shallotte River, we do not anticipate the proposed project to have an Tne alive
effect on water Quality of the Shallotte River or its tributaries.
XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
