the existing road crossing location. Additionally, the road crossing will temporarily impact 1,OOOSF of Zone 1 riparian buffer.
Areas of temporary impact will be re -planted with woody tree species and seeded with native herbaceous vegetation. Due the
road crossing impacting less than 40LF of stream channel outside the existing road crossing footprint, written buffer
authorization from Haw River is not necessary for the proposed exempt activity.
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Due to the development and use of the site as a solar farm, an access road must be improved to provide interconnectivity of
the site during construction and long term maintenance of the site as a utility scale solar farm. The proposed access road has
been designed to utilize an existing stream crossing, thus resulting in no additional net loss of stream channel associated with
culvert fill. Additionally, the associated stream crossing buffer impact is greatly reduced by utilizing an existing impacted road
crossing. The proposed stream impact consists of the addition of rip -rap bank/bed stabilization and energy dissipater that will
be keyed into existing bed and banks thus resulting in no net loss of aquatic habitat. The rip -rap bed/bank stabilization and
energy dissipater will be beneficial compared to current existing conditions by reduction of flow velocities therefore reducing
potential down -gradient stream erosion and excess sedimentation.
The applicant evaluated several design options to avoid impact to wetlands. However, given site size, required developable
area for achievement of necessary power output and the locations of WoUS and associated surface water buffers, it was not
possible for the solar array to avoid impact to the wetland. Other evaluated options would have resulted in impact to higher
quality WoUS and associated surface water buffers located on the site. This wetland is located in an area of a former drained
pond basin and is not directly hydrologically connected to other large down -gradient WoUS. Therefore, the applicant
determined that impact to this feature would be more beneficial to the environmental than impacting other higher quality
WoUS located on the site. The remaining areas of solar array and necessary infrastructure (overhead/underground voltage
lines, inverters, etc.) have been designed to avoid impacts to jurisdictional streams, associated surface water buffers and
wetlands.
There is approximately 3 acres of wetlands and 3,000 feet of stream channel located on the site. The remaining approximate
2.99 acres of wetlands and 2,970 feet of stream channel have been avoided.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The clearing limits will be staked and silt fence will be used. It water is not present in the stream during rip -rap installation,
then the work will be completed in the dry and the propose pump around will not be used. If water is present in the stream
during rip -rap installation then a pump around will be used as proposed within this application. A temporary coffer dam will be
installed up -gradient of the proposed area of rip -rap fill. During rip -rap installation, water will be pumped around the
construction footprint. Appropriate stream bank protection will be provided in the channel during construction. Upon
completion of the culvert installation, the temporary sand bag coffer dams will be removed and flow will be diverted through
the existing culvert. Following construction, disturbed banks will be restored to similar pre -construction conditions, matted and
seeded/live staked.

NOTIFICATION OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION
Owner: Mr. Henderson Scott
Address: 1400 North Jim Minor Road
Haw River, NC 27258
Size (acres) 35 Nearest Town Haw River
Nearest Waterway UT to Back Creek River Basin Caae#Fear
USGS RUC 03030002 Coordinates 36.073100 N. -79.348125 W
Location description: The oroiect area is located on the south side of Trollinewood Road and at the eastern terminus
of Raloh Scott Road. in Graham, Alamance County, North Carolina. The Proiect Area is shown as the "Site Boundary"
on the attached "Fieure 5. Wetland Delineation."
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
There are waters on the above described 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. 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 are wetlands on the above described 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 overall 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 of the U.S. on your 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 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.
X There are waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on the above described project area 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.
We recommend you have the waters of the U.S. on your 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.
X The waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on the above described project area have been delineated and the
delineation has been verified by the Corps. If you wish to have the delineation surveyed, the Corps can review and
verify the survey upon completion. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject
to CWA and/or RHA 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.
Page 1 of 2
_ The waters of the U.S., including wetlands, have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat
signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on . 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 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 th$ Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at (252) 808-2808 to
determine their requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit
may constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material,
construction or placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the
Army permit may constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If
you have any questions regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact David Bailey at
(919) 5544884 X 30 or David.E.8ailey2Qusace,armv.mil.
C. Basis For Determination
The prosect area exhibits water bodies with bed and banks and indicators of ordinary high water marks - including
clear, natural line impressed on the bank chances in soil character, vegetation matted down, bent, or absent, leaf litter
disturbed or washed away, sediment deposition, the presence of wrack line and sediment sorting - and wetland criteria
as defined in the "Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains
and Piedmont Region (Version 2.0)." The water bodies on the site Include three unnamed tributaries (UT) to Back
Creek - all Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs) that flow via Back Creek (RPW) to the Haw River, a Traditionally
Navigable Water— and abutting and adjacent wetlands This determination is based a site visit and verification by
David E Bailey (USACE) on 10/5/2016. The full Basis for Determination is described on the "Approved Jurisdictional
Determination Forms" in the Administrative Record.
D. Remarks
The waters of the US within the Project Area were flageed by Headwater Environmental, Inc. with changes made by
David E Bailey (USACE) and are approximated on the attached "Figure 5, Wetland Delineation."
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the
particular site identified in this request. The del ineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation
provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation
in USDA programs, you should request a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources
Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Mitigation Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500)
Dear Mr. Pascarosa:
On October 5, 2016, at your request and in your attendance, Sue Homewood conducted an on-
site determination to review features located on the subject project for stream determinations
with regards to the above noted state regulations. David Bailey with the US Army Corps of
Engineers was also present during the site visit.
The Division acknowledges the areas and boundaries identified as jurisdictional wetlands by the
USACE. The attached map accurately depicts all stream determinations conducted during the
site visit.
Please note that at the time of this letter, all perennial stream channels and jurisdictional
wetlands found on the property are subject to the mitigation rules cited above. These
regulations are subject to change in the future. In addition, the Jordan Lake Buffer Rules may
apply to some streams at this location, please be sure to contact the local government for
further information regarding the Jordan Lake Buffer Rules.
The owner (or future owners) should notify the Division (and other relevant agencies) of this
