Enclosed is a NWP 39 Application for your review. It is submitted on behalf of Brunswick County
Schools for the expansion of the existing Town Creek Elementary School and the construction of the
new Town Creek Middle School, located off of Lake Park Drive SE in Winnabow, NC (Brunswick
County). The purpose of the project is to alleviate school overcrowding and serve the growing
population of the northern part of Brunswick County. Impacts to 0.05 acre of wetlands are needed
to construct a required fire lane.
Enclosed are the Pre -Construction Notification form, site maps, and site plan. Note that the site
consists of two tracts. A jurisdictional determination has been issued for the northern site. LMG
delineated the southern site and submitted a JD request package, but a site visit with the USACE has
not yet been scheduled. Please let me know when you would like to meet on site or if you have any
questions regarding this project. Thank you for your assistance with this project.
Sincerely,
Kim Williams

Project Description
3a.
Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The northern tract is currently undeveloped and forested. The southern tract currently contains the Town Creek
Elementary School. Adjacent land use is mostly undeveloped and forested, with the Town Creek Park located northwest
of the site.

List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
— 7 acres
3c.
List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
N/A
3d.
Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a new middle school (6t'' through 8th grade) and to expand the existing
Town Creek Elementary School to serve the growing population of the northern part of Brunswick County. The addition to
the elementary school is for classroom space and is needed to alleviate current overcrowding at the school. The
construction of Town Creek Middle School is required to ease the overcrowding at Leland Middle School, the only middle
school in the northern end of the county. Leland Middle School attendance is projected to top 1,000 in 2018-2019,
exceeding the schools capacity of 940 and the district's desired ceiling of 750. Currently, the next closest middle school to
Leland is South Brunswick Middle which is located in Boiling Spring Lakes. The proposed middle school site is
conveniently located off of Lake Park Drive SE next to an existing school and park and on a site owned by the Board of
Education. Wetland impacts are needed to construct a fire lane.
3e.
Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The middle school project includes the construction of a 2 -story building (64,449 sf) and the elementary school expansion
includes the addition of a classroom building (6,750 sf). Two parking lots will be located north and northeast of the
middle school building and a bus parking lot/drop off area will be situated between the two schools. An access road will
be provided off of Lake Park Drive SE, which will direct cars and buses to the appropriate drop-off areas. Roads have
been designed to provide the required queueing length for parents that are dropping off/picking up children. One athletic
field (160' x 360') and one activity field (150' x 150') are also proposed. Fields have been designed to be large enough to
accommodate the large number of children expected to enroll and are situated to be in close proximity to the classrooms
of those target students. These fields need to be positioned within the campus to ensure the students are being
monitored and are safe. A 26' -wide fire lane will be located around the east side of the school and will provide emergency
access to the eastern and southern parts of the middle school building and an activity field. This fire lane must be large
enough to accommodate emergency vehicles. Its slope will vary but does not exceed 1.5%. Wetland impacts are needed
for a small section of the fire lane and back-up/turn-around area. A fence will be constructed around the campus and
stormwater ponds will also be constructed. Track hoe, loader, dump truck, bob cat, and other standard construction
equipment will be used.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Wetland impacts were minimized as much as possible during the site design. The northern portion of the project area contains
more wetlands than southern area. Therefore, the middle school layout was positioned closer to the elementary school to
avoid these wetlands. A fire lane is required to provide emergency access around the middle school and to fields on site. The
location of the fire lane is dictated by regulatory requirements. It must be located a minimum of 1.5 times the building height
away from the building in order to ensure that the fire lane is outside of the building collapse zone. Since the middle school
building in this area will be 35 feet, the fire lane must be a minimum of 52.5 feet away from the building. Additionally, this road
would be used by emergency vehicles and it must have a back-up area for vehicles to turn around. Only 0.05 acre of wetlands
will be disturbed from this large project.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Silt fencing will be used during construction to reduce sediment from eroding into jurisdictional areas.

USGS HUC 03030005 Coordinates Latitude: 34.1444418053367
Longitude: -78.0867250279618
Location description: The site is located east of Town Creek Park and north of Town Creek Middle School in
Winnabow, Brunswick County.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
_ There are waters, including wetlands, on the above described project area, 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, including wetlands, 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, including wetlands, 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, including wetlands, 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.

SAW -2017-01687
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 your 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.
_ 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 the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] 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 Brad Shaver at
[phone] or Brad.E.Shaverna usace.armv.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: The site possessed wetlands as described in the 1987 Corps Delineation Manual and
the appropriate regional supplement The site also contains drainage features thatpossess an ordinary high water
mark Both features have drainage toward Rice Creek and Town Creek, both ultimately navigable waters of the US. See
attached Rapanos forms.
D. Remarks: The site contains jurisdictional wetlands and has one isolated wetland (J). The site was field reviewed
with Wes Fryar on 8/15/2017.
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 delineation/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.
