According to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation
Service (USDA-NRCS) Web Soil Survey of Cabarrus County (Figure 5) and the most recently 2
published NRCS Soil Survey for Cabarrus County (Figure 6), current and historic on-site soils 3
consist of Enon sandy loam (2 to 8 percent slopes and 8 to 15 percent slopes, [EnB and EnD]),
Mecklenburg loam (8 to 15 percent slopes [MeD]), and Poindexter loam (8 to 15 percent slopes
and 15 to 45 percent slopes [PoD and PoF]). None of the on-site soils are listed on the Web
Soil Survey Hydric Soils List as containing hydric inclusions.

National Wetlands Inventory
Wetlands are an important source of biodiversity and provide a multitude of ecological services.
The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), created by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is a
program which provides wetland data and analysis to the public. A review of the NWI GIS layer
depicts one potential pond within the project limits (Figure 7).

Jurisdictional Delineation
On November 14, 2017, Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) scientists Dan Zurlo, Staff
Scientist I, and Sean Martin, Senior Project Scientist, delineated on-site jurisdictional waters of
the U.S., including wetlands. Jurisdictional areas were delineated (flagged in the field),
classified, and mapped with a sub-foot Trimble Geo7X GPS unit using the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987
Corps of Engineers Delineation Manual, the 2007 USACE Jurisdictional Form Instructional 4
Guidebook, with further technical guidance from the 2012 Eastern Mountains & Piedmont 5
Regional Supplement. 6

Jurisdictional stream channels were classified according to the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) guidance through sampling with a D-shaped dip net,
photograph documentation, and defining approximate breakpoints (location at which stream
channel changes classification) within each on-site stream channel. NCDEQ Stream
Classification Forms representative of jurisdictional stream channels are attached as
SCP1-SCP2 (Attachment A). Wetland Determination Data Forms representative of on-site
jurisdictional wetland areas are attached as DP1-DP2 (Attachment B). A Wetland Determination
Data Form representative of on-site non-jurisdictional upland areas is attached as DP3
(Attachment B). Locations of stream classification points and the Wetland Determination Data
Forms are depicted on Figure 8. Representative photographs of on-site jurisdictional features
and existing site conditions are attached as Photographs 1-6 (Attachment C).

Results
Based on the results of this field investigation, there are five jurisdictional waters of the U.S.
located within the project boundary (Figure 8). These waters consist of two jurisdictional stream
channels (Streams A and B), two jurisdictional wetlands (Wetland AA and BB), and one
jurisdictional pond (Pond A). The on-site jurisdictional waters drain to Rocky River. Rocky River
is part of the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin (HUC 03040105) and is classified as “Class C
Waters” by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ). According to the
NCDEQ, Class C Waters are defined as: “Waters protected for uses such as secondary
recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival and
maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture.” 7

On-site 404 jurisdictional waters of the U.S. total approximately 0.417 acre, including 2,207
linear feet of jurisdictional stream channel. On-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are
summarized in Table 1.

Relatively Permanent Waters
Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs) are streams that have year-round flow in normal 9
conditions. RPWs generally have greater biological resources than seasonal streams and are
capable of supporting resources requiring constant flow for reproductive and maturation stages.
The results of the on-site field investigation conducted by CWS indicate that there is one RPW
(Stream A) located within the project area (Figure 8).

Stream A originates off-site at the northern project boundary and flows south-southwest for
approximately 723 linear feet before flowing off-site at the northwestern project limits (Figure 8).
7 NCDEQ. “Surface Water Classifications.”
http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/planning/classification-standards/classifications#DWRPrimaryClassification.
8 Classifications of streams include Traditionally Navigable Waters (TNWs), Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs), and
Non-Relatively Permanent Waters (Non-RPWs). Subcategories of RPWs include perennial streams that typically have
year-round flow, and seasonal streams that have continuous flow at least seasonally. Two classifications of jurisdictional
wetlands are used to describe proximity and connection to TNWs. These classifications include either adjacent or directly
abutting. Adjacent wetlands are defined as wetlands within floodplains or in close proximity to a TNW but without a direct visible
connection. Abutting wetlands have a direct surface water connection traceable to a TNW.

Stream A re-enters the site at the western central project limits and flows south for 1,351 linear
feet before flowing off-site at the southwestern project limits (Photograph 1). Stream A (R5UB2)
scored a 39.5 out of a possible 63 points on the NCDEQ Stream Classification Form, 10
indicating perennial flow regime (SCP1, Attachment A).

Seasonal Relatively Permanent Waters
Seasonal Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs) are those that exhibit continuous flow for at 11
least three consecutive months per year on a seasonal basis. This flow regime is the result of a
lowering of the water table during dry periods that prevents ground water discharge to the
stream channel. Seasonal streams do not typically support aquatic life requiring year-round
flow necessary for reproductive and maturation stages. The results of the on-site field
investigation conducted by CWS indicate that there is one Seasonal RPW (Stream B) located
within the project area (Figure 8).

Seasonal Stream B originates on-site in the southern portion of the project area from a
groundwater seep and flows 133 linear feet to the southwest before losing bed and bank
structure, becoming a non-jurisdictional conveyance (Photographs 2 and 3). Seasonal Stream
B (R4SB4) scored 20.5 out of a possible 63 points on the NCDEQ Stream Classification Form, 12
indicating intermittent flow regime (SCP2, Attachment A).

Wetlands
The USACE and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) define wetlands as: “Those areas
that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient
to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation
typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.” The USACE uses three parameters to 13
identify jurisdictional wetlands. These parameters are as follows: 1) hydrophytic vegetation, 2)
wetland hydrology, and 3) hydric soils. Except in certain atypical situations, all three parameters
must be present in order for an area to be determined to be a jurisdictional wetland. The results
of the on-site field investigation conducted by CWS indicate that there are two jurisdictional
wetland areas (Wetlands AA and BB) located within the project area.

Wetland AA is approximately 0.008 acre in extent and is located adjacent to RPW Stream A in
the southwestern portions of the project limits (Figure 8). Wetland AA is classified as a forested
wetland (PFO1) with low chroma soils, oxidized rhizospheres on living roots, drainage 14
patterns, and geomorphic position. Dominant vegetation included hackberry, American
hornbeam ( Carpinus caroliniana ), river birch ( Betula nigra ), Nepalese browntop, and Japanese
honeysuckle (Photograph 4). A Wetland Determination Data Form representative of Wetland
AA is attached as DP1 (Attachment B).

Potentially Isolated Non-404 Jurisdictional Waters
On-site potentially Isolated Non-404 Jurisdictional Waters total approximately 0.043 acre and
are summarized in Table 2. Isolated non-404 jurisdictional waters are under the jurisdiction of
the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality - Division of Water Resources and the
401 Isolated Wetlands/Waters Program (waters of the State).

Isolated Wetland
Isolated Wetland BB is approximately 0.013 acre in extent and is located in the southeastern
portions of the project limits (Figure 8). Wetland BB is classified as a forested wetland (PFO1),
with low chroma soils, saturated soil, oxidized rhizospheres on living roots, and geomorphic
position (Photograph 5). Dominant wetland vegetation includes red maple, hackberry, willow
oak, Chinese privet, Nepalese browntop, muscadine, and japanese honeysuckle. A Wetland
Determination Data Form representative of Wetland BB is attached as DP2 (Attachment B).

Isolated Pond
Isolated Pond A is approximately 0.03 acre in extent and is located in the southeastern portion
of the project limits (Photograph 6). Additionally, Pond A is depicted on the National Wetlands
Inventory map (Figure 7, attached).
Note
Significant nexus for Isolated Pond A and Isolated Wetland BB to downstream waters was not
clearly observed during the CWS, November 14, 2017 site visit, as upland and impervious areas
appear severe the connection to downstream waters. The Corps verification process evaluates
significant nexus and includes a Corps site visit. If during the verification process, the USACE
determines significant nexus cannot be established for Pond A and Wetland BB, these features
would be classified as isolated, non-404 jurisdictional waters.

Buffer Regulations
As this property is located within unincorporated Cabarrus County, buffer regulations for
Cabarrus County apply. No state implemented protected riparian buffers or regulated drinking
water supply buffers apply.

Cabarrus County Stream Buffer Ordinance
Per the Chapter Four of the Cabarrus County Development Ordinance , A minimum 50-foot 15
buffer shall be established from the stream bank on all sides of perennial streams in addition to
any lakes, ponds or impoundments located along, or on, those streams. Perennial streams
include all rivers, streams, lakes, ponds or water bodies shown on the USGS Quadrangle Maps
as a solid blue line or identified in the Cabarrus County Geographic Information System (GIS).
The exact buffer distance for perennial streams is calculated using a formula based on the
average slope of terrain within 250 feet from the center of the stream. The resulting average
slope is multiplied by four. This number is then added to the minimum buffer to determine the
total undisturbed buffer. The maximum width of the undisturbed buffer will be 120 feet.
Wetlands require a minimum 25-foot vegetated buffer. RPW Stream A is depicted as a dotted
blue line on the USGS map, and is not depicted on the Cabarrus County GIS website.
However, RPW Stream A was identified as a perennial stream by qualified professionals.
Cabarrus County perennial stream buffers apply to RPW Stream A.

Recommendations
Jurisdictional tributary (Stream A), which is depicted as a dotted blue line (Seasonal) on the
USGS map (Figures 2 and 3), was classified as a perennial stream by CWS scientists following
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) guidance. Verifying the flow
classification of Stream A with USACE will affect its buffer conditions, as only perennial streams
are buffered according to Cabarrus County rules. In addition, significant nexus for Isolated
Pond A and Isolated Wetland BB to downstream waters was not clearly observed during the
CWS, November 14, 2017 site visit, as upland and impervious areas appear to have severed
the connection to downstream waters. The Corps verification process evaluates significant
nexus and includes a Corps site visit. If during the verification process, the USACE determines
significant nexus cannot be established for Pond A and Wetland BB, these features would be
classified as isolated, and outside of the USACE jurisdiction. Isolated waters (waters of the
State) have different impact thresholds compared to jurisdictional waters of the U.S.
Therefore, CWS strongly recommends a USACE verification prior to entering the design
phase.
