TROGDON, III SECRETARY Re: Request for Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination STIP R-5737; Intersection to Interchange Conversion at SR 1798 (Old Greensboro Road) and US29/70/85BUS in Davidson County, North Carolina Dear Mr. Roden-Reynolds, Dewberry Engineers Inc. has been contracted by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to execute a jurisdictional waters delineation in Davidson Counry. NCDOT proposes to convert an at-grade intersection to an interchange at SR 1798 (Old Greensboro Road) and US29/70/85BUS in Thomasville, Davidson County. Dewberry has determined the limits of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. (including wetlands) within the boundaries of the site, and is requesting a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) to contirm those boundaries. Surveys were conducted by Dewberry scientists using methods outlined in the 1987 Corps of En�ineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and the 2012 Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Re�ional Su�plement. Data to support these decisions are included with this request. Please contact Amy Euliss with any questions or comments at aeuliss@ncdot.gov ar(336) 747-7800.

Version: May 2017 Page 3 F. ❑✓ �❑ ❑ G. ✓❑ Jurisdictional Determination Request JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One) I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminarX JD for the property identified herein. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property. PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is "preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do not expire. I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years (subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter OS- 02). I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information to inform my decision. ALL REQUESTS Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the review area. ✓❑ Size of Property or Review Area 154 acres. �✓ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

Please include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non jurisdictional (i.e. "Isolated", "No Significant Nexus", or "Upland Feature"). Please include the acreage or linear length of these features as appropriate. For Preliminarv Jurisdictional Determinations: Wetland and non-wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404, Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non-wetland Waters of the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and linear length of these features as appropriate. aCompleted Wetland Determination Data Forms for appropriate region (at least one wetland and one upland form needs to be completed for each wetland type) � Please refer to the guidance document titled "Survey Standards for Jurisdictional Determinations" to ensure that the supplied map meets the necessary mapping standards. http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory-Permit- Pro gram/Juri sdiction/ Version: May 2017 Page 5 a ✓❑ ✓❑ � ❑ Jurisdictional Determination Request Completed appropriate Jurisdictional Determination form PJDs, please complete a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Form' and include the Aquatic Resource Table AJDS, please complete an Approved Jurisdictional Determination Formg Vicinity Map Aerial Photograph USGS Topographic Map Soil Survey Map � Other Maps, as appropriate (e.g. National Wetland Inventory Map, Proposed Site Plan, previous delineation maps, LIDAR maps, FEMA floodplain maps) u a Landscape Photos (if taken) NCSAM and/or NCWAM Assessment Forms and Rating Sheets � NC Division of Water Resources Stream Identification Forms � Other Assessment Forms � www.saw.usace.army.mil/Portals/59/docs/re ug latorv/regdocs/JD/RGL 08-02_A�_A_Prelim JD_Form fillable.pdf g Please see http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Re ug latorv-Permit-Program/Jurisdiction/ Principal Purpose: The information that you provide will be used in evaluating your request to determine whether there are any aquatic resources within the project area subject to federal jurisdiction under the regulatory authorities referenced above.

Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.

WT WC FW (if applicable) ❑A ❑A ❑A >_ 500 acres ❑B ❑B ❑B From 100 to < 500 acres ❑C ❑C ❑C From 50 to < 100 acres ❑D ❑D ❑D From 25 to < 50 acres ❑E ❑E ❑E From 10 to < 25 acres ❑F ❑F ❑F From 5 to < 10 acres ❑G ❑G ❑G From 1 to < 5 acres ❑H ❑H ❑H From 0.5 to < 1 acre ❑I ❑I ❑I From 0.1 to < 0.5 acre �J �J �J From 0.01 to < 0.1 acre ❑K ❑K ❑K < 0.01 acre or assessment area is clear-cut 12. Wetland Intactness — wetland type condition metric (evaluate for Pocosins only) ❑A Pocosin is the full extent (>_ 90%) of its natural landscape size. ❑B Pocosin type is < 90% of the full extent of its natural landscape size. 13. Connectivity to Other Natural Areas — landscape condition metric 13a. Check appropriate box(es) (a box may be checked in each column). Involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. This metric evaluates whether the wetland is well connected (Well) and/or loosely connected (Loosely) to the landscape patch, the contiguous naturally vegetated area and open water (if appropriate). Boundaries are formed by four-lane roads, regularly maintained utility line corridors the width of a four-lane road or wider, urban landscapes, maintained fields (pasture and agriculture), or open water > 300 feet wide. Well Loosely ❑A ❑A >_ 500 acres ❑B ❑B From 100 to < 500 acres ❑C ❑C From 50 to < 100 acres ❑D �D From 10 to < 50 acres �E ❑E < 10 acres ❑F ❑F Wetland type has a poor or no connection to other natural habitats 13b. Evaluate for marshes only. ❑Yes ❑No Wetland type has a surface hydrology connection to open waters/stream or tidal wetlands. 14. Edge Effect — wetland type condition metric (skip for all marshes and Estuarine Woody Wetland) May involve a GIS effort with field adjustment. Estimate distance from wetland type boundary to artificial edges. Artificial edges include non-forested areas >_ 40 feet wide such as fields, development, roads, regularly maintained utility line corridors, and clear-cuts. Consider the eight main points of the compass. Artificial edge occurs within 150 feet in how many directions? If the assessment area is clear cut, select option "C." ❑A 0 �B 1 to 4 ❑C 5to8 15. Vegetative Composition — assessment area condition metric (skip for all marshes and Pine Flat) �A Vegetation is close to reference condition in species present and their proportions. Lower strata composed of appropriate species, with exotic plants absent or sparse within the assessment area. ❑B Vegetation is different from reference condition in species diversity or proportions, but still largely composed of native species characteristic of the wetland type. This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clearcutting or clearing. It also includes communities with exotics present, but not dominant, over a large portion of the expected strata. ❑C Vegetation severely altered from reference in composition, or expected species are unnaturally absent (planted stands of non- characteristic species or at least one stratum inappropriately composed of a single species), or exotic species are dominant in at least one stratum. 16. Vegetative Diversity — assessment area condition metric (evaluate for Non-tidal Freshwater Marsh only) �A Vegetation diversity is high and is composed primarily of native species (< 10% cover of exotics). ❑B Vegetation diversity is low or has > 10°/o to 50°/a cover of exotics. ❑C Vegetation is dominated by exotic species (> 50 % cover of exotics). 17. Vegetative Structure — assessment area/wetland type condition metric 17a. Is vegetation present? �Yes ❑No If Yes, continue to 17b. If No, skip to Metric 18. 17b. Evaluate percent coverage of assessment area vegetation for all marshes only. Skip to 17c for non-marsh wetlands. �A >_ 25% coverage of vegetation ❑B < 25% coverage of vegetation 17c. Check a box in each column for each stratum. Evaluate this portion of the metric for non-marsh wetlands. Consider structure in airspace above the assessment area (AA) and the wetland type (WT) separately. a AA WT o�A �A Canopy closed, or nearly closed, with natural gaps associated with natural processes @❑B ❑B Canopy present, but opened more than natural gaps c� ❑C ❑C Canopy sparse or absent o ❑A ❑A °' �B �B � ❑C ❑C � ❑A ❑A t �B �B � ❑C ❑C � ❑A ❑A _ �B �B ❑C ❑C Dense mid-story/sapling layer Moderate density mid-story/sapling layer Mid-story/sapling layer sparse or absent Dense shrub layer Moderate density shrub layer Shrub layer sparse or absent Dense herb layer Moderate density herb layer Herb layer sparse or absent 18. Snags — wetland type condition metric (skip for all marshes) �A Large snags (more than one) are visible (> 12 inches DBH, or large relative to species present and landscape stability). ❑B Not A 19. Diameter Class Distribution — wetland type condition metric (skip for all marshes) ❑A Majority of canopy trees have stems > 6 inches in diameter at breast height (DBH); many large trees (> 12 inches DBH) are present. �B Majority of canopy trees have stems between 6 and 12 inches DBH, few are > 12 inch DBH. ❑C Majority of canopy trees are < 6 inches DBH or no trees. 20. Large Woody Debris — wetland type condition metric (skip for all marshes) Include both natural debris and man-placed natural debris. �A Large logs (more than one) are visible (> 12 inches in diameter, or large relative to species present and landscape stability). ❑B Not A 21. Vegetation/Open Water Dispersion — wetland type/open water condition metric (evaluate for Non-Tidal Freshwater Marsh only) Select the figure that best describes the amount of interspersion between vegetation and open water in the growing season.
