RE: Request for Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination for TIP Number R-5812,
Improvements to the US 13 Bypass from NC 58 (Kingold Boulevard) to NC 91 in
Greene County, North Carolina

HDR Engineering, Inc. of the Carolinas (HDR) has completed a jurisdictional stream and
wetland delineation on the above referenced project for the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) Division 2. The NCDOT is planning Improvements to the US 13
Bypass from NC 58 (Kingold Boulevard) to NC 91.
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
HDR reviewed the study area for jurisdictional waters of the U.S. under Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act. The project area was examined according to the methodology described in the
USACE 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual, USACE Post-Rapanos guidance, the recent USACE
Regional Supplement, and the NCDWR Guidance. On-site reconnaissance conducted March 15-
16, 2018 determined the presence of three wetlands totaling approximately 6.5 acre, and three
streams totaling approximately 904 linear feet. The completed wetland and stream forms are
attached. Table 1 provides a summary of the delineated features within the study area.

Table 1. Summary of Waters of the U. S.

We are hereby requesting a preliminary jurisdictional determination for delineated waters of the
U.S. If you have any questions or require additional information after your review of the
enclosed information, please contact me at [phone] or [e-mail].
Respectfully,

Jay Johnson, Division Environmental Officer
NCDOT –Division 2
