Comments: The road crossing will permanently impact 3,500SF of Zone 1 and 2,000 SF of Zone 2 riparian buffer, outside 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. Page 7 of 12 PCN Form — Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version 2.

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.

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.
