Ms. Samantha Dailey
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
3331 Heritage Trade Drive, Suite 105
Wake Forest, North Carolina 27587

Dear Ms. Samantha Dailey,

Resource Environmental Solutions (RES) is pleased to present this Request for a Preliminary
Jurisdictional Determination for the Uzzle Mitigation Site located in Clayton, Johnston County,
North Carolina. As part of this scope of work, RES is submitting this request to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (Corps) for a confirmation of the limits of Waters of the U.S. on the subject
site.

The purpose of this project is the establishment of a mitigation site under the existing Neu-con
Umbrella Banking Instrument to generate stream mitigation credits that may be used to provide
compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to warm water streams associated with
Department of the Army permit authorizations pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.

Delineation Information
RES completed its delineation of potentially jurisdictional areas on this property on January 5,
2017 in accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual methodology
(Environmental Laboratory 1987), as well as the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers
Delineation Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain (Version 2.0). Flags
were numbered and placed onsite to mark the limits of potentially jurisdictional wetlands and other
Waters of the U.S. Wetland flags were located using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology
with sub-meter accuracy and the streams were drawn using the available National Hydrography
Dataset Flowlines. Stream determinations were verified by a NCDWR representative on January
13, 2017. The approximate size and location of these areas are depicted on the attached Waters of
the U.S. Delineation Map. All wetland areas are shown on this figure, but only the ones within the
easement limits need confirmation.

The current land use on-site is active pasture and grazed forest. The site contains Little Poplar
Creek and two (2) of it’s unnamed tributaries. One (1) large wetland area was found on-site and
is located in the floodplain of the streams.
