Letter from the USACE dated July 25, 2018 (Appendix A):
Reference the information you submitted entitled, Individual Permit Application and Support Document,
Camden Plantation, Camden County, North Carolina (Document), dated May 2018. As discussed, please
provide the following information to facilitate our evaluation of your application:
1. A complete maps) depicting the boundaries of the 21 offsite alternatives evaluated.
Applicant Response: Please see enclosed Figure 3-a, which shows the boundaries of all 21
offsite alternatives evaluated (Appendix B).
2. National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) mapping alone is insufficient to justify the dropping of
alternatives from consideration. As discussed, you should utilize available remote sensing
tools (Web Soil Survey, LiDAR, aerial imagery, etc), coupled with field reconnaissance (as
possible), to present a more accurate estimate of wetland acres that exist on the offsite
alternatives.
Applicant Response: Please see enclosed Figure 3-b and Figure 3-c. Figure 3-b shows hydric
soils, FEMA floodplain data, and the NWI layer overlain on updated aerial imagery (2016)
while Figure 3-c shows LiDAR overlain on the same aerial image (Appendix B). All potential
sites are mapped as underlain by hydric soils. All remaining sites except for Parcels A, B, C,
and the preferred site were eliminated for access, availability to utilities, preponderance of
mapped wetlands, and/or being in the 1 percent FEMA floodplain. Parcel A is encumbered
by floodplain on approximately 50 percent of the site and is mapped as NWI wetlands over
100 percent of the site and has been reverting to forest since the harvesting of timber between
2003 and 2008. This site was eliminated based on the mapped hydric soils, NWI wetlands, and
that harvesting reduces evapotranspiration, increases compaction, and typically reduces
infiltration of rainfall, thereby increasing the likelihood of wetlands on the site.
Parcel B is mapped as 100 percent wetlands as well. It has been returning to a wooded
condition since 2009. This site was also eliminated. In addition to on-site conditions, Parcels
A and B are not currently zoned for residential development, making selection of those sites
for Camden Plantation not compatible with the Camden County 2035 Comprehensive Plan,
per the enclosed Table 1 (Appendix B).
Parcel C is currently zoned for conservation and/or agricultural use per The 2035
Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the parcel is long (17,000 feet) and narrow (2,000 feet)
and would preclude the development of essential elements of the Camden Plantation,
particularly the residential and golf course layouts. As such, this parcel is not a practicable
alternative for the Camden Plantation development since residential uses run contrary to the
County's approved 2035 Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the parcel also lacks water line
infrastructure, has only limited access to an existing sewer line along U.S. Route 17, and
therefore will not accommodate development of any kind. This Parcel is removed from
consideration.

We have also updated Table 1 with revised wetland impact numbers to reflect the fact that the
site plan revisions for the preferred alternative (Camden Plantation) will only impact 3.09 acres
of wetlands. This analysis, together with the revisions to Camden Plantation demonstrates that
the Preferred Alternative is the least environmentally damaging practicable alternative
(LEDPA).
3. Amend Table I
a) Add the wetland acres to the column entitled "Potential Wetland Impacts. "
Applicant Response: Please see the enclosed "Off-site Alternatives Revised 3-6-19"
(Appendix B).
b) Delete the last column entitled "Practicable. "
Applicant Response: Please see the enclosed "Off-site Alternatives Revised 3-6-19"
(Appendix B).
4. Provide the North Carolina Department of Transportation access permit that was issued to
you for the connection of the Camden Plantation entrance road to US Highway 17 and other
documentation you have supporting the location of the proposed entrance road.
Applicant Response: A copy of the NC DOT access permit for the entrance road is included in
Appendix C.
5. North Carolina's Dismal Swamp State Park and Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center are
both located immediately across US 17 from the proposed development. Pursuant to 40 CFR
Subpart F 230.52 through 230.54, provide information on the measures you have considered
and are taking to minimize the physical and visual impacts of this large development on the
state park, welcome center, and local area.'
Applicant Response: The development will be screened from the Welcome Center by the
forested area on the following parcels located between Camden Plantation and U.S. 17:
0 017071007472400000
0 017071008307500000

0 017071008338480000
0 017071008402490000
Furthermore, the revised plan proposes smaller PFO wetland impacts to accommodate the
entrance off U.S. 17. As such, much less clearing of the existing forested areas fronting the
property will occur, maintaining a sufficient visual buffer.

6. As discussed, the Corps and resource agencies believe that you can achieve substantial
avoidance and minimization of wetland impacts through redesign of the project including
realigning the entrance road and adjusting the commercial/residential lots and golf course
layout. Accordingly, you must provide a new plan drawing that depicts further avoidance and
minimization of impacts to waters and wetlands resources on the site.
Applicant Response: The Site plan has been revised to significantly reduce impacts to wetlands
from the previously proposed combined total of 28.90 acres of palustrine forested (PFO) and
palustrine emergent (PEM) wetland impacts spread across 5 of the 6 wetlands on the site.
Currently, proposed impacts include 3.09 acres of permanent impacts to PFO, 258 linear feet
(If) of permanent impact to intermittent Relatively Permanent Waters (RPW), 50 if of
temporary impacts to the perennial RPW Joyce Creek (Revised Permit Drawings -Page 1,
Appendix D). Impacts to only two of the six wetlands are currently proposed, while four
wetlands are fully avoided.
Further avoidance and minimization of impacts to wetlands has been achieved by several
significant site design revisions. First, the applicant has decided to remove the commercial
development from the project; second, the golf course layout has been modified to avoid as
much wetland impact as practicable; third, the alignment of the entrance road of Rt. 17 was
modified to reduce wetland impacts; and finally, the number of single-family home lots has
been reduced by ten.
A summary of the unavoidable impacts is provided below. These are impacts associated with
the entrance off Rt. 17 and unavoidable constraints associated with the golf course, including
fairway width, drainage swales, and safety concerns, as illustrated in further detail on the
Revised Permit Drawings and described below:
• Impact #1: There are 2.27 acres of unavoidable PFO impact at this location associated
with the relocated entrance road and Hole #17 (Impact #1 - Revised Permit
Drawings -Page 2, Appendix D). While the road angle was able to be realigned slightly
to reduce impacts, the location of the entrance itself along U.S. 17 was unable to be
moved from the NCDOT-approved alignment and will result in 0.70 acres of permanent
impacts (Appendix Q. The southwest corner of Wetland Area #5 will be filled to
create the greens and fairway associated with golf course Hole #17. This filling will
result in 1.57 acres of permanent wetland impacts. Even without the necessary golf
course impacts, this part of the wetland would become hydrologically isolated by the
construction of the adjacent road, thus resulting in secondary impacts over time.
Instead, the Applicant is proposing to take golf course impacts here and avoid areas of
the wetland north of the road that otherwise would not be isolated by the construction
of the road.
• Impact #2: This impact will clear-cut and regrade this area in order to construct the tee
complex associated with Hole # 18 of the golf course and provide an adequate angle
and corridor width to the landing area. If this 0.38 -acre impact was not incorporated
into the design of Hole #18, a much more acute angle of the dogleg portion of the first
landing area, would result in an awkwardly positioned landing area that would be

hazardous to homes lining the east side of the course (Impact #2 - Revised Permit
Drawings -Page 3, Appendix D).
• Impact #3: This 0.12 -acre impact will be cleared with approximately three quarters of
the area being graded and the remainder being left as rough. Rough will be mowed
twice weekly during the growing season. The filling of the wetland is required to
incorporate a swale for drainage and to provide a sufficient playable turf surface
(Impact #3 - Revised Permit Drawings -Page 3, Appendix D).
• Impact #4: This impact will be cleared to have the ability to place the cartpath between
the fairway bunkers and the newly created edge of the wetland. Approximately 0.32
acres of the southern corner of Wetland #4 is proposed for an impact to facilitate
clearing for visibility, the development of a bunker complex, and the routing of the cart
path. (Impact #4 - Revised Permit Drawings -Page 4, Appendix D)
The Applicant also proposes to cross the intermittent RPW in two (2) locations that runs across
the center of the property. Previously, this entire ditch was planned to be filled. Both crossings
will utilize a 48 -inch reinforced concrete pipe and earthen fill over top. Impact #5 will require 126
If of permanent impacts and Impact #6 will require 132 if of permanent impacts. Table 1 below
summarizes the currently proposed permanent impacts.

The Applicant also proposes to remove one 48 -inch culvert located in Joyce Creek at a farm road
crossing in the southeast corner of the project (Temporary Impact #1). A drainage weir and outfall
protection will be constructed in adjacent uplands to convey water from golf course Lake A. The
side slopes of this new drainage feature will be graded so that they do not impact the portion of
the Joyce Creek channel within USACE jurisdictions. This jurisdictional limit is located
approximately 50 feet downstream of the limits of grading (Sheets 8-9 of Revised Permit
Drawings, Appendix D). A revised impacts table dated March 2019, Table 8 included in
Appendix D presents an approximate side-by-side comparison of the currently proposed impacts
to impacts previously proposed nearby. Based on concerns and comments from agencies after the
May 2018 Permit Application, the applicant has reduced impacts associated with the project by

Letter from the NCDWR dated July 9, 2018 (Appendix A):
1. The applicant has provided a very specific purpose to the project and has limited the geographic
scope of the project to Camden County, North Carolina.
Applicant Response: The location of the proposed project is limited to the County's demand for
the services as detailed in the project's Purpose and Need. A letter of support from Camden
County's Director of Planning & Community Development Department was included in the
original permit application package. Per the off-site alternatives analysis, the location of the project
is also constrained by several factors.
2. The applicant has not provided an adequate alternatives analysis for the proposed project.
a. The applicant used criteria that was not directly tied to the project purpose when evaluating
alternative sites including: access to potable water, access to sanitary sewer, and compatibility
with local zoning. Although these criteria are relevant, it must be pointed out that a previous
developer -built utility infrastructure to the selected parcel and the selected parcel was rezoned
to fit this type of development making these criteria not insurmountable obstacles to achieving
the project purpose.
Applicant Response: Per the enclosed Utility Installation Chronology exhibit (Appendix
E), water and sewer lines have been installed in the vicinity of the project as well as directly
adjacent to the property over a period of several years. A summary chronology is as follows:
• Tanglewood development is proposed, but Camden County rejects the plan in favor of a
Smart Growth multi -use development around 2000.
• Based on Google Earth aerial photography, Sander's Crossing and Wharf's Landing
residential developments and associated utilities are installed between 2003 and 2005
immediately south of Camden Plantation.
• From 2002 to 2006 current applicant Boyd Homes works with Camden County to plan a
Smart Growth mixed-use development.
• In 2006, Boyd Homes installs sewer lines along McPherson Road to the north and east of
proposed Camden Plantation development, extending from the Wharf's Landing
development. The distance between the terminus of existing utilities from Wharf's
Landing to the Camden Plantation parcel is approximately 1,000 FT, not a significant
distance or cost for Boyd Homes.
• Camden Plantation plans submitted to Camden County for approval in 2007.
• In 2007, sewer force main is installed by Camden County along U.S. Route 17 extending
from Wharf's Landing to just south of the North Carolina -Virginia Border.
• In 2007, Camden County extends sewer line from Eco -Industrial Park (northwest of
Camden Plantation parcel) east along McPherson Road to a lagoon.
• In 2008, Camden Plantation property is rezoned as a Planned Unit Development (PUD).
b. The applicant has not considered the alternative of constructing a residential and commercial
mixed-use development without a golf course, as this could potentially qualify other parcels

identified in the applicants' proposed alternatives and would still meet the applicant's stated
purpose.
Applicant Response:
The golf course is an essential element to the entire development's design and County's needs,
as described in the Project Purpose and Need.
3. The applicant has not provided a detailed avoidance and minimization plan for the proposed
project. No alternative layouts were proposed, nor were designs without the inclusion of the golf
course.
Applicant Response: As stated in the above response to the USACE regarding avoidance and
minimization, the Applicant has redesigned the development to greatly reduce the amount of
permanent wetland impacts from 29.80 acres to 3.09 acres and permanent impacts to an
intermittent RPW from 4,5621f to 2581f while keeping the standard -size 18 -hole golf course which
essential to the viability of Camden Plantation.
4. The applicant states the proposed project will have no impact on the Great Dismal Swamp because
of the stormwater management plan, however no further information was provided. The Division
will be requesting additional technical information from the applicant and requests that the
USACE also consider this additional information during the review of the application.
Applicant Response: The pre- and post- hydrology model output to support the Section 408
submittal supports our assertion that the project will not impact the Great Dismal Swamp. See
Appendix F.

Letter from the NCDWR dated July 18, 2018 (Appendix A):
Title 15A NCAC 02H.0506 requires that a proposed activity has no practical alternative by
demonstrating that, considering the potential for a reduction in size, configuration or density of
the proposed activity and all alternative designs, the basic project purpose cannot be practically
accomplished in a manner which would avoid or result in less adverse impact to wetlands. The
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) have not determined that the preferred alternative is the
least environmentally damaging practical alternative (LEDPA). The Division cannot review the
preferred alternative until the USACE determines that this alternative is the LEDPA. Upon the
USACE's determination, please provide correspondence from the USACE indicating which
alternative is selected as the LEDPA.
Applicant Response: Following USACE review of the responses herein and the Revised Permit
Drawings, the Applicant will provide correspondence from the USACE that the currently proposed
Preferred Alternative is the LEDPA.
2. If the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requests a response to any comments received as a result of
the Public Notice, please provide the Division with a copy of your response to the USACE. [15A
NCAC 02H. 0502(c)].
Applicant Response: No comments, other than those by agencies addressed herein, were received
by the USACE during the Public Notice period.

Letter from the USFWS dated June 19, 2018 (Appendix A):
The Service appreciates the general avoidance and minimization measures taken on the site to
limit wetland impacts. However, we note that the wetlands that were avoided are proposed to be
surrounded by lots, roads, or water features that may cause indirect effects in the long term.
Wetlands 2, 3, and 4 are proposed to be cut through the center, fragmenting the remaining portions
that were avoided. Some of the wetlands to remain will be bordered on one or more sides by water
features dug to a much lower elevation, which may adversely affect the hydrology of the wetland.
It doesn't appear that impacts to the avoided wetlands are considered in the public notice. We
appreciate that the remaining wetlands will be preserved by conservation easements; however, we
recommend that mitigation credit not be provided for the preservation of these areas due to
fragmentation and potential indirect or long-term impacts to hydrology, habitat, and water quality
from the surrounding project components.
Applicant Response: Per the Revised Permit Drawings (Appendix D), impacts to Wetland Areas
2 and 3 have been entirely avoided and impacts to Wetland Area 4 have been greatly reduced from
10.91 acres to 0.32 acres. The single impact area within Wetland Area 4 occurs on the eastern edge
and will therefore not divide the avoided wetlands. Potential secondary hydrologic impacts from
water features have also been minimized. No water features are located adjacent to Wetland Area
4. Wetland Areas 1, 2, and 3 are separated from the water features by the golf cart path, major
roadways, the existing intermittent RPW, or a combination of those elements. The Applicant also
no longer proposes to use the avoided wetlands as a source of mitigation credits. Instead, the
Applicant will coordinate with a private mitigation bank and/or the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality's Division of Mitigation Services to purchase credits or pay an in -lieu fee.

Letter from the NCWRC dated July 9, 2018 (Appendix A):
1. The NCWRC has reviewed the public notice and is concerned with the amount of wetland acres
proposed to be impacted. Our agency participated in a NC Department of Environmental Quality
scoping meeting with the applicant and several other state and federal agencies in 2017. Our staff
noted the amount of impacts and stated impacts needed to be further minimized and recommended
the applicant consider development recommendations from the NCWRC's Green Growth Toolbox
(http://ncwildli e.org/Conservin /Programs/Green-Growth-Toolbox/About-GGT) to incorporate
wildlife friendly options in the development design. Review of the public notice has shown the
current proposal had reduced wetland impacts by 4.43 acres from the earlier proposal. However,
the remaining wetland impact acreage should still be minimized prior to any acceptance of
mitigation. The wetland reduction was accomplished with the redesign of some residential lots
that contained wetlands. This did not significantly alter the design or layout of the development.
An alternate layout that rearranges the golf course design or removes roadside commercial
development may lead to more wetland impact reductions and is recommended.
Wetlands provide important habitat opportunities for numerous game and non -game wildlife
species. They also serve as an important filtration system for stormwater runoff. These
opportunities are not matched by the design of the stormwater treatment system within the golf
course and residential development. Open water spaces may provide areas for some aquatic
species, but their quality and varied habitats are not equal to those of wetlands and streams.
Anadromous species, such as striped bass and blue back herring, utilize the waters of Joyce Creek
and the Dismal Swamp Canal and would not be provided any benefits from the filling of wetlands
and creation of open water ponds. The conversion of almost 600 acres in this area to • development
also removes a large area of land that serves as terrestrial wildlife habitat and travel corridor
along US Highway 17 and other large contiguous lands in the area.
In general, the NCWRC does not believe appropriate avoidance and minimization of wetland
impacts has been demonstrated. We request the applicant redesign the development layout if the
project remains in this location. Consideration should be given to impacts imposed upon the
Dismal Swamp State Park and the Dismal Swamp Canal that provide public access and cultural
benefits to citizens as well as their benefits to wildlife.
Applicant Response: Please see our responses above to the USACE and to NCDWR pertaining to
avoidance and minimization of wetland impacts.

Letter from the NCSHPO dated July 5, 2018 (Appendix A):
We have reviewed the application for wetland impacts associated with the construction of the
proposed Camden Plantation development submitted by Boyd Homes Inc. of Virginia. While no
properties eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) are known to be
on the tract, it has never been surveyed to determine whether they are present. Therefore, we
cannot concur that no historic properties will be affected at this time. We recommend that a
comprehensive archaeological survey be performed by a professional archaeological consultant
over the tract to determine if archaeological resources are present and to assess the significance
of any discoveries as they relate to NRHP criterion. The survey and resulting archaeological
report should follow the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology Archaeological Investigation
Standards and Guidelines. The report and appropriate site forms should be forwarded to us for
review and comment as soon as they are available and well in advance of any construction
activities.
Applicant Response: As a preliminary step, the Applicant retained the services of Circa— Cultural
Resources Management, LLC (Circa) to prepare a Management Summary for the project. Circa—
conducted a review of historic maps, search of the NCSHO's historic and cultural resource online
database, and performed an on-site walkover survey. In September 2018, Circa— staff walked the
site in transects and documented conditions using photography, soil analysis, and shovel tests for
artifacts. During the Site survey, no objects of historical or cultural significance were found. Circa—
also concluded that given the Site's location on ditched, low, previously -hydric soils on level flats
and distance from dry soils and water, the possibility of finding historic resources, and in particular
Native American ones, is considered to be low. As a result of their research and field assessment,
Circa— did not recommend additional archaeological work. A copy of the Management Summary
by Circa— is included in Appendix G. Because of the significant reduction in impacts to Waters,
thus the likely reduction in the size of the Permit Area, the need for the comprehensive
archaeological survey recommended above by the NCSHO, is not anticipated.

Dear Mr. Merrier:
Please reference your application for a Department of the Army (DA) individual permit to
impact 28.9 acres of wetlands and 4,562 linear feet of waters of the United States associated with
construction of the 598 acre Camden Plantation, a mixed-use residential and commercial
development with golf course and other recreational amenities located off the east side of US
Highway 17, north of South Mills, in Camden County, North Carolina. This correspondence also
confirms our meeting on July 17, 2018.
Reference the information you submitted entitled, Individual Permit Application and Support
Document, Camden Plantation, Camden County, North Carolina (Document), dated May 2018.
As discussed, please provide the following information to facilitate our evaluation of your
application:
1. A complete map(s) depicting the boundaries of the 21 offsite alternatives evaluated.
2. National Wetlands Inventory (NWi) mapping alone is insufficient to justify the
dropping of alternatives from consideration. As discussed, you should utilize available remote
sensing tools (Web Soil Survey, LiDAR, aerial imagery, etc.), coupled with field reconnaissance
(as possible), to present a more accurate estimate of wetland acres that exist on the offsite
alternatives.
3. Amend Table 1:
a) Add the wetland acres to the column entitled "Potential Wetland Impacts."
h} Delete the last column entitled "Practicable."
4. Provide the North Carolina Department of Transportation, access permit that was issued
to you for the connection of the Camden Plantation entrance road to US Highway 17 and other
documentation you have supporting the location of the proposed entrance road.
5. North Carolina's Dismal Swamp State Park and Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center
are both located immediately across US 17 from the proposed development. Pursuant to 40 CFR
Subpart F 234.52 through 230.54, provide information on the measures you have considered and
are taking to minimize the physical and visual impacts of this large development on the state
park, welcome center, and local area.
5, As discussed, the Corps and resource agencies believe that you can achieve substantial
avoidance and minimization of wetland impacts through redesign of the project including
realigning the entrance road and adjusting the commerciallresidential lots and golf course layout,
Accordingly, you must provide a new plan drawing that depicts further avoidance and
minimization of impacts to waters and wetlands resources on the site.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the above, or any other
matters related to your application. You stated that you would he meeting with Camden County
to discuss the redesigning of the Camden Plantation project. I am also available to meet with

On behalf of the NC Division of Water Resources, we respectfully request that you consider the
following comments within your review of the 444 Individual Permit request for the above
referenced property:
1. The applicant has provided a very specific purpose to the project and has limited the
geographic scope of the project to Camden County, North Carolina.
2. The applicant has not provided an adequate alternatives analysis for the proposed
project.
a. The applicant used criteria that was not directly tied to the project purpose when
evaluating alternative sites including: access to potable water, access to sanitary
sewer, and compatibility with local zoning. Although these criteria are relevant, it
must be pointed out that a previous developer built utility infrastructure to the
selected parcel and the selected parcel was rezoned to fit this type of development
making these criteria not insurmountable obstacles to achieving the project purpose.
b. The applicant has not considered the alternative of constructing a residential and
commercial mixed-use development without a golf course, as this could potentially
qualify other parcels identified in the applicants' proposed alternatives and would
still meet the applicant's stated purpose.
3, The applicant has not provided a detailed avoidance and nninimization plan for the
proposed project. No alternative layouts were proposed, nor were designs without the
inclusion of the golf course,

Dear Mr, Lekson:
RECEIVED
U -S. ARMY CORPS EUG
Washington RegUWWY Rd orc
This letter provides the comments of the U. S. Fish and. Wildlife Service (Service) on the
June 7, 2018 public notice_ for Camden Plantation. The applicant, Mr. Ken Merner, of
Boyd Domes; has applied for authorization ,�o impact 28.9 acres of wetlands and 4,552
linear feet of waters of the U. . to construct Camden Plantation, a 598 acre mixed-use
residential and commercial deve. oprreent with recreational amenities located on the east
side of U. S. Highway 17, north of South Mills, in Camden County, North Carolina.
These comments are submitted in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination
Act (FWCA) (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 561-667d). Comments related to the
FWCA are to be used in your determination of compliance with 404(b)(1) guidelines (49
CFR'230) and in your public interest review (33 CFR 320.4) in relation to the protection
of fish and wildlife resources. Additional comments are provided regarding the District
Engineer's determination of project impacts pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act {ESA} of 1973, as amended (1.6 U.&C. 1531-1543).
Project Area and Proposed Activities
The project area is a large parcel, across U.S. 17 from the Great Dismal Swamp State
Park Visitor Center. According to the public notice, the applicant proposes to develop
Camden Plantation in four phases, involving the construction of approximately 1,750
new residential units, associated roads and utilities infrastructure, a commercial center
with a minimum of 160,000 square feet of retaillcommerciWofhce space, an 18 -hole golf
course, and other recreational amenities (tennis, swimming, trail and park system).
Anticipated services to be provided include a grocery store and complimentary retail
business, medical/dental offices, and general office space. The project will impact a total
2
of 4,562 linear feet of waters of the United States and 28.90 acres of nontidal wetlands,
including the permanent loss of 27.96 acres of palustrine forested wetlands and the
conversion of 0.94 acres of palustrine forested wetlands to palustrine emergent wetlands.
Federally Protected Species
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential
to adversely affect those species. The Service has reviewed available information on
federally -threatened or endangered species known to occur in Camden County, Species
occurring near the project area include the red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis)
(RCW) and the northern long-eared bat (Myodas septentrionaiis). The U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers (Corps) has determined that the project may affect, but is not likely to
adversely affect the RCW, The Corps has determined that the project may affect, and is
likely to adversely affect the northern long-eared bat, but the agency is relying on the
provisions of the ESA Section 4(d) rule and incidental take is not prohibited.
According to the public notice, the site was logged in the early 1990s and is currently in
agricultural and silvicultural production. The wooded areas are primarily vegetated with a
mixed pine -hardwood assemblage characteristic of outer coastal plain flatwoods
including loblolly pine, red maple, sweetgum, water oak, laurel oak, and swamp white
oak tree species. Because the site does not appear to contain older, larger pine trees, and
has been largely managed for agricultural and silvicultural production, the Service
concurs with the Corp's determination that the project, may affect, but is not likely to
affect the RCW. Because of the proposal for tree removal to develop the site, the
proposed project may affect the northern long-eared bat, Since the proposed project site
is greater than 150 feet frena a known roost tree and the project does not require
prohibited intentional take, the project has met the criteria for the 4(d) rule. Any
associated take is therefore exempt.
We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the ESA have been satisfied for
this project, Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be
reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may
affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this
action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or.
(3) a new species is listed'or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the
identified action.

P
Service Concerns
The Service appreciates the general avoidance and minimization measiues taken on the
site to limit wetland impacts. However, we note that the wetlands that were avoided are
proposed to be surrounded by lots, roads, or water features that may cause indirect effects
in the long term. Wetlands 2, 3, and 4 are proposed to be cut through the center,
fragmenting the remaining portions that were avoided. Some of the wetlands to remain
will be bordered on one or more sides by water features dug to a much lower elevation,
which may adversely affect the hydrology of the wetland. It doesn't appear that impacts
to the avoided wetlands are considered in the public notice. We appreciate that the
remaining wetlands will be preserved by conservation easements; however, we
recommend that mitigation credit not be provided for the preservation of these areas due
to fragmentation and potential indirect or long-term impacts to hydrology, habitat, and
water quality from the surrounding project components.
The Ser -vice appreciates the opportunity to comment on this public notice. If you have
questions regarding these comments, please contact lathy Matthews at 919-856-4520,

FROM: Maria T. Dunn, Coastal Coordinator
Habitat Conservation
DATE: July 9, 2018
SUBJECT: Public Notice for Inert Merner, Boyd Homes, Camden County, North Carolina.
SAW -2015-00317
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the public notice
with regard to impacts on fish and wildlife resources. The project site is a 598 -acre site off the east side of
US Highway 17 North, approximately three miles south of the Virginia border, across from the Dismal
Swamp Canal Welcome Center, north of South Mills, NC. Our comments are provided in accordance
with provisions of Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act, as amended, and the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.) and Coastal Area Management Act
(G.5. 1 13A-100 through 113 A-128), as amended.
The applicant proposes to develop a mixed-use residential and commercial development including 1,750
residences, a golf course, trail system, and numerous undetailed retail 1 commercial units. The site was
logged in the early 1900's and is currently in agriculture and silviculture production. There are extensive
ditches in the property to remove water from the property with a perennial RPW along the southern
boundary that directs water west to the Dismal Swamp Canal and east to Cypress Run, a tributary of
Joyce Creel.. Witlwt the 598 -acre project area ate 46.1.4 acres of wetlands. To facilitate the development
proposal, the applicant proposes to impact 4,562' of waters of the United States and 28.90 wetland acres.
The Dismal Swamp Canal is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is all active project of
the US Army Corps of Engineers. Joyce Creek, the receiving waters of Cypress Run is also an active
project of the US Army Corps of Engineers and is designated an anadromous fish spawning area (AFSA)
by the NCWRC.
The NCWRC has reviewed the public notice and is concerned with the amount of wetland acres proposed
to be impacted. Our agency participated in a NC Department of Environmental Quality scoping -meeting
with the applicant and several other state and federal agencies in 2017. Our staff noted the amount of
impacts and stated impacts needed to he further m inimized and recornmended the applicant consider

development recommendations from the NCWRC's Green Growth Toolbox
(htt ://ncwildlife.or ConserviliPro rams/Green-Gro-tvth-1 oolbox/About-GGT) to incorporate wildlife
friendly options in the development design. Review of the public notice has shown the current proposal
had reduced wetland impacts by 4.43 acres from the earlier proposal. However, the remaining wetland
impact acreage should stili be minimized prior to any acceptance of mitigation. The wetland reduction
was accomplished with the redesign of some residential lots that contained wetlands. This did not
significantly alter the design or layout of the development. An alternate layout that rearranges the golf
course design or removes roadside commercial development may lead to more wetland impact reductions
and is reconunended.
Wetlands provide important habitat opportunities for numerous game and non -game wildlife species.
They also serve as an important filtration system for stormwater runoff. These opportunities are not
matched by the design of the stormwater treatment system within the golf course and residential
development. Open water spaces may provide areas for some aquatic species, but their quality and varied
Habitats are not equal to those of wetlands and streams. Anadromous species, such as striped bass and
blue back herring, utilize the waters of Joyce Creek and the Dismal Swamp Canal and would not be
provided any benefits from the filling of wetlands and creation of open water ponds. The conversion of
almost 600 acres in this area to development also removes a large area of land that serves as terrestrial
Wildlife habitat and travel corridor along US Highway 17 and other large contiguous lands in the area.
In general, the NCWRC does not believe appropriate avoidance and minimization of wetland impacts has �
been demonstrated. We request the applicant redesign the development layout if the project remains in
this location. Consideration should be given to impacts imposed upon the Dismal Swamp State Park and
the Dismal Swamp Canal that provide public access and cultural benefits to citizens as well as their
benefits to wildlife.
The NCWRC appreciates the opportunity to review and comment on this public notice and looks forward
to additional information. Please do not hesitate to contact me at (252) 948--3916 or at

Dear Mr. Lekson:
We have reviewed the application for wetland impacts associated with the construction of the proposed Camden
Plantation development submitted by Boyd Homes Inc, of Virginia. While no properties eligible for listing on the
National Register of Historic Places (NRNP) are known to be on the tract, it has never been surveyed to determine
whether they are present. 'Therefore, we cannot concur that no historic properties will be affected at this time.
We recommend that a comprehensive archaeological survey be performed by a professional archaeological
consultant over the tract to determine if archaeological resources are present and to assess the significance of any
discoveries as they relate to NRHI' criterion. The survey and resulting archaeological report should follow the
North Carolina Office of State Archaeology.Archaeo4gical Inuertigadan Siondards and Guideliurr. The report and 'lc
appropriate site forms should be forwarded to us for review and comment as soon as they are available and well in
advance of any construction activities.
We have detennined that the project as proposed will not have an effect on any historic structures.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment, contact
Renee Gledhill -Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-807-6579 or environmental.revicyL@cdcr.gi�v. In

RE: Request for Control of Access Revision on US Highway 17 at the Existing
Median Crossover for the Camden Plantation Site
South Mills Township, Camden County, NC
Dear Mr. Jennings:
I am writing to request a 150 -foot break in the control of access on the east side of US
Highway 17, approximately 3,500 feet south of McPherson Road (SR 1231). This control of
access break is to accommodate a new road to be constructed to access a major new community
in Camden County to be known as Camden Plantation.
Camden Plantation is a 600+ acre community that will eventually include a commercial
district with retail, office, and restaurant uses, an 18 hole golf course open to the public, and over
1,700 single family and multi -family residences. The commercial district is also anticipated to
include public uses, such as a post office and satellite office for the sheriff's department.
This planned community has been approved by the Camden County Board of
Commissioners and is an important part of their plan for smart growth in the County. Economic
development is vital to Camden County. As a rare county without even one grocery store,
Camden has almost no sales tax base. Camden Plantation will provide a vital business
development area with sewer in the northern end of the County. The importance of this
development to the County is reflected in the enclosed resolution in support of the control of
access break which was adopted by the Board of Commissioners.

Division Engineer

Without this control of access break, ehicular traffic to and from Camden Plantation will
all be funneled to McPherson Road and Cul pper Road, both of which are narrow roads without
intersections designed for the level of anticipated to be generated by the growth of
Camden County. The intersection planned by Camden Plantation, as shown in the attached
documentation, will address these important safety issues. This work will be done without cost
to either NCDOT or Camden County.
The proposed new road will align with an existing median break with turn lanes. It also
coincides with an existing farm access to the property, which has been in use for some time.
These features make this location the natural choice for an additional intersection with US
Highway 17 to accommodate the anticipated growth of northern Camden County.
In support of our request, we have attached the following items:
• Control of Access Revision Form
• Vicinity Map — Figure 1
• NCDOT Roadway Sheets 1 & 16 from Project # 8.1112204
• Camden Plantation Land Use Plan — Figure 2
• Intersection Layout Plan — Figure 3
• Aerial of the C/A Break Location — Figure 4
• Ordinance No. 2008-07-02, Resolution Of The Camden County Board Of
Commissioners In Support Of Vehicular Access On Highway US 17 For The
Development Of The Mixed Use Community Known As Camden Plantation.
Please submit this package through the proper channels for due consideration. If there is
any additional information that would be helpful in your consideration of this matter, please
contact me at 757-271-0078 (o) or 757-943-0078 (c), and we will be happy to help in any way.

RE: Request for Control of Access Revision on US Highway 17 at the Existing
Median Crossover for the Camden Plantation Site
South Mills Township, Camden County, NC (08050)
Dear Ms. Byrum:
As you are most probably aware, an important aspect of the development of the
Camden Plantation site is the installation of a major site access proposed at the
existing median crossover on US Highway 17, located approximately 3,500 feet
south of McPherson Road (SR 1231). This will necessitate a 150 -foot break in the
control of access on the east side of US Highway 17.
Attached are three (3) packets with the following information:
o Control of Access Revision Form
o Vicinity Map - Figure 1
o NCDOT Roadway Sheets 1 & 16 from Project 4:8.1112204
o Camden Plantation Land Use Plan - Figure 2
o Intersection Layout Plan - Figure 3
o Aerial of the C/A Break Location - Figure 4
At your earliest convenience, please submit this package through the proper
channels for due consideration. Also, please let us know if we can provide any
assistance in expediting this matter.

HOLE #18: PAR 5, 565 YDS - SLIGHT DOGLEG RIGHT
DESCRIPTION -
TIAL
'MENT
TO FURTHER MINIMIZE IMPACTS TO WETLAND #5, A SMALL PORTION OF THE SOUTHERN CORNER IS PROPOSED FOR IMPACT TO FACILITATE
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TEE COMPLEX. THE CART PATH HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MAJORITY OF THE TEE COMPLEX,
DECREASING THE SIZE OF THIS IMPACT. THE CORRIDOR WIDTH IN THE AREA OF THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF WETLAND #5 IS AS NARROW
AS IT CAN BE AND SAFELY PROVIDE FOR THE DIRECTION OF THE SHOTS WITH HOUSING AND WALKING TRAILS LOCATED LEFT AND RIGHT OF
THE LANDING AREA. ADDITIONALLY, A CRITICAL DRAINAGE WAY FLANKS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS FAIRWAY.
IF THIS 0.38 ACRE IMPACT WERE NOT INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGN OF THIS HOLE, A MUCH MORE ACUTE ANGLE OF THE DOGLEG OF
THE FIRST LANDING AREA WOULD RESULT WITH AN AWKWARDLY POSITIONED LANDING AREA PLACING HOUSING ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF
THIS HOLE IN HARM'S WAY.
THIS IMPACT WOULD CLEAR-CUT THE MAJORITY OF THIS AREA TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONSTRUCT THE TEE COMPLEX TO ACHIEVE AN
ADEQUATE ANGLE AND CORRIDOR TO THE LANDING AREA AND TO RECEIVE THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF SUNLIGHT TO GROW TURF ON THE
TEE COMPLEX. FILL WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TEE COMPLEX.

TO FURTHER MINIMIZE IMPACTS TO WETLAND #5 AND THE INTERMITTENT STREAM A CORRIDOR WAS SELECTED TO PLAY OVER THE
INTERMITTENT STREAM WITH AN ANGLE THAT MINIMIZES THE IMPACT TO WETLAND #5. TO ESTABLISH ADEQUATE FAIRWAY WIDTH AND TO
PROVIDE ADEQUATE AREA FOR DRAINAGE ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE FAIRWAY, AN AREA OF 0.12 ACRES IS PROPOSED FOR IMPACT.
THE AREA IMPACTED WOULD ALSO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT WIDTH FOR A NORMAL LANDING AREA AS WELL AS CREATING IMPROVED
VISIBILITY.
IF THIS 0.12 ACRE IMPACT WERE NOT INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGN OF THIS HOLE, THE LANDING AREA WOULD BE NARROWER THAN
STANDARD CRITERIA, RESULTING IN IMPOSSIBLE SECOND SHOT, FOR TEE SHOTS HIT TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FAIRWAY. ADDITIONALLY,
WITH THE FLAT TERRAIN AND THE EXTREME PROJECTION OF THIS CORNER OF WETLAND #5 INTO THIS FAIRWAY, IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY
AWKWARD FOR ADEQUATE DRAINAGE TO BE DEVELOPED.
THIS IMPACT WOULD CLEAR-CUT THE ENTIRE AREA. THE CLEAR-CUT AREA WOULD BE GRADED INCLUDING SWALE DEVELOPMENT FOR
DRAINAGE AND 35 PERCENT INCORPORATED INTO THE FAIRWAY. THIS IMPACT WOULD ALSO BE CRITICAL TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE TURF ON
A PORTION OF THIS FAIRWAY. AREA CLEARED BUT NOT FILLED WILL BE MAINTAINED AS ROUGH AND MOWED TWICE WEEKLY.

TO MINIMIZE IMPACTS TO WETLAND #4 AND THE INTERMITTENT STREAM, A NARROW CORRIDOR WAS SELECTED BETWEEN THE WETLAND
AND THE INTERMITTENT STREAM CREATING AN ACUTE DOGLEG RIGHT. TO MAKE THIS HOLE MORE STRATEGIC AND SAFE 0.32 ACRES OF
THE SOUTHERN CORNER OF WETLAND #4 IS PROPOSED FOR AN IMPACT TO FACILITATE CLEARING FOR VISIBILITY, THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
BUNKER COMPLEX AND THE ROUTING OF THE CART PATH.
IF THIS 0.32 ACRE IMPACT WERE NOT INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGN OF THIS HOLE, GOLFERS IN THE FAIRWAY (HITTING THEIR SECOND
SHOT) COULD BE IN JEOPARDY OF GOLFERS TEEING OFF. ADDITIONALLY, IF THE LANDING AREA OF THIS HOLE IS NOT WIDENED, IT WOULD
BE CONSIDERED AN AWKWARD, AND UNFAIR HOLE, BECAUSE OF THE NARROW CORRIDOR, RESULTING FROM PRESERVING THE MAJORITY
OF THE EASTERN BOUNDARY OF WETLAND #4 AND THE INTERMITTENT STREAM.
THIS IMPACT WOULD CLEAR-CUT THE MAJORITY OF THIS AREA TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PLACE THE CARTPATH BETWEEN THE FAIRWAY
BUNKERS AND THE NEWLY CREATED EDGE OF THE WETLAND. FILL WOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUNKERS.
CLEARING OF THIS IMPACT IS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE TURF. AREA CLEARED BUT NOT FILLED WILL BE MAINTAINED AS ROUGH
AND MOWED TWICE WEEKLY.

Mr. Albertson,
Thanks for taking my call this morning. As discussed, I represent Boyd Homes that is planning the
Camden Plantation community at Rt. 17 and McPherson Rd. in northern Camden County. I am
contacting you regarding the requirement by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section 408
regulations that the potentially affected Civil Works Project "project sponsor' has to provide a
statement of no objection for the proposed project. The potentially affected Civil Works Project
here is Joyce Creek. The upstream limit of this Civil Works Project is located at Rt. 1233/Culpepper
Road, which is approximately 1/2 -mile downstream of the south east corner of the Camden
Plantation project.
For your convenience, I have attached a copy of the letter that you provided for the Mill Run
Subdivision in 2017. We need a similar letter specific to the Camden Plantation project. I have also
provided a location map for Camden Plantation.
We are in the middle of the permitting process and would appreciate your prompt attention to the
request. If you have any questions, please contact me.
Respectfully,

Introduction
In September 2018, Circa— Cultural Resource Management, L.L.C. (Circa) conducted a
walkover of the approximately 600 -acre Camden Plantation located just south of the Virginia
border in South Mills, North Carolina (Figure 1). The development is Camden County's first
ever, premier master -planned community with homes to meet the needs and desires of most,
ranging from apartments to townhomes to smaller carriage -style homes, and larger manor -style
homes with an 18 -hole golf course that features a continuous -course cart path system and a full-
service practice fairway. The project area is bordered by Route 17 to the west, rural residential
land to the north, south, and east, and to the north by McPherson Road. Carol D. Tyrer, Principal
Investigator, completed the walkover. Dawn M. Muir, Architectural Historian and Historian,
completed the historic research and graphics.

Environmental Background
The primary reasons for incorporating environmental studies into archaeological projects are: to
learn of possible environmental constraints or lack of constraints; to determine the presence or
absence of critical resources that might have influenced site distribution, etc.; and to discover
environmental factors—erosion, deposition, subsidence, and historic land use patterns—that
might influence the integrity of archaeological sites once they have formed. Keeping these
objectives in mind, a brief environmental summary of the project area is provided below.
The project area is located in the tidewater region on the Coastal Plain of North Carolina and is
comprised of two agricultural fields and forested areas just to the east of the Dismal Swamp
Welcome Center, in northeastern Camden County, North Carolina. Numerous man-made ditches
placed roughly west to east and north to south help aid in the drainage of the land. However,
even with the ditches, portions of the project area are still heavily ponded during rain episodes.
Elevations across the tract range from 17 feet to 13 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). No
streams or rivers are located within the tract. The project site can be accessed by Route 17 and
McPherson Road.
Aerial photos from 1990 to the present show little change within the project area during the last
27 years (Figures 2 - 8).

Soils
At least seven different soil types and soil type variants exist within the project area (Natural
Resources Conservation Service [NRCS] 2018). These include Tomotley fine sandy loam, 0%
to 2% slopes; Roanoke silt loam, 0% to 2% slopes; Perquimans silt loam, 0% to 2% slopes;
Portsmouth fine sandy loam, 0% to 2% slopes; Nimmo sandy loam, 0% to 2% slopes; Augusta
fine sandy loam, 0% to 2% slopes; Udorthents, loamy (Figure 9 and Table 1). Each of these
types and variants are described below including references to drainage, hunting and gathering
potential, and horticultural and agricultural productivity potential. Further, conclusions
regarding the suitability of each for historic and Native American occupation and archaeological
site probability are also explained.
Soils maps and associated data provide an analysis of soil types within a geographic area.
Despite comprehensive and detailed coverage of most areas by soils surveyors, researchers often
miss microenvironments due to their small footprints. Unfortunately, resource rich
microenvironments were often common sites of cultural activity. As such, this analysis of
archaeological potential is a "best -guess" using the best available data.
Well -drained, agriculturally- and horticulturally -productive soils proximal to transportation
corridors were the best choices for historic period occupation. Secondary areas, such as those
containing wet soils and acid soils, after improvement such as drainage and liming may have also
been suitable choices for historic occupation. No navigable waterways exist within the project
area; thus, water travel is not a factor in the site probability analysis of this tract.
Areas of wet soils may have been attractive to Native American cultures. In these areas, edible
herbaceous plant species may have been gathered and faunal species browsing these areas may
have been hunted with success. Well -drained soils proximal to these resource -rich areas may
have made adequate hunting and gathering campsites where the hunted and gathered resources
were processed. These sites would have left an observable archaeological footprint. Little
archaeological evidence would be located within the wet areas, the immediate locale of resource
procurement.
Areas containing gravelly soils may have been especially attractive to stone tool -manufacturing
Native American cultures, but the level of attraction may have depended on the type and quality
of the gravels available in these locations. Well -drained soils proximal to quarry -able, gravel -
rich areas would have made adequate lithic material procurement campsites but in this case,
archaeological materials may be located at both the campsites and the quarry sites.

Augusta Soil (AtA)
Augusta soils are very -deep, somewhat -poorly -drained, moderately -permeable soils formed in
loamy alluvial sediments and located in the stream terraces of the Southern Piedmont and Upper
Coastal Plain (MRCS 2018). Solum thickness ranges from 40 inches to 80 inches with a depth to
bedrock greater than 60 inches. This soil has a seasonally high-water table between 12 inches
and 24 inches from December to May. This soil is very strongly acid to moderately acid except
where limed and features a slow surface runoff. This soil is mostly cultivated. Where cultivated,
this soil supports corn, oats, soybeans, small grain, and pasture. Where wooded this soil supports
white oak, red oak, post oak, loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, hickory, red maple, sweet gum, elm,
American holly, flowering dogwood, sassafras, greenbrier, giant cane, and inkberry.
Udorthents (Ud)
Udorthents soils are generally -flat, level soils that are disturbed as a result of a combination of
materials excavated from borrow pits, soil cuts, and original soil remnants (MRCS 2018). These
soils tend to be dense and moderately to slowly permeable in their uppermost levels and can
support lawns, gardens, and landscaping, though they are sometimes contaminated by various
toxic materials.
Previous Research
Circa— performed an archival search for the project area using the North Carolina Office of State
Archaeology records on September 2, 2018. This research was completed to determine if
historic resources exist within the project area boundaries. The search identified two
archaeological resources and no architectural resources within a one -mile radius of the project
area boundaries. Table 2 lists all of the resources within one mile of the project area boundaries.
Figure 10 shows the approximate project area boundaries and resources within close proximity.
Of the resources identified, no archaeological resources and no architectural resource were
identified within the project area. Although there is no site number, the Great Dismal Swamp
Canal is located to the west on the opposite side of Route 17 from the project area.

The historic maps show the project area within the swamplands at the headwaters of Joy's or
Joyce Creek. Maps of the area drawn during the 19th and 20th century show no development
around the project tract (Figures 11 — 16). No development is noted within the project area at
any time. Major towns appear around the project area as early the 1861, particularly the town of
South Mills to the south.

Results and Summary
This study was conducted to provide information on the current condition of the property, as well
as to assess the potential for the presence of archaeological or architectural resources within the
project area. Fieldwork was completed in September 2018 and included a pedestrian walkover
of the tract to identify any obvious archaeological or architectural resources and the
archaeological site potential of various landforms.
The project area is located on level flats with multiple drainage ditches to aid in the conversion
of the landform from wetlands to agricultural fields in the early 201h century. The area is
currently either forested or overgrown, abandoned fields. All open, exposed areas were
inspected for the presence of artifacts and signs of cultural features. Circa— walked the tract at
150 -foot intervals and the ground visibility was roughly 10% to 30% visible. A few modern
oilcans and plastic water bottles were noted just to the east of Route 17. No other artifacts were
noted during the walkover. In addition, judgmental shovel tests were excavated to sample the
stratigraphy of the landforms. Sixteen judgmental shovel tests revealed one soil stratum above a
sterile subsoil (Figure 17). In the agricultural fields, Stratum A ranged from approximately 0.87
feet to 0.96 feet thick and consisted of a medium grayish brown (7.5Y 2/2) sandy loam
plowzone. Subsoil consisted of a saturated reddish brown (2.5YR 2/6) compact clay (Figure
18). In the forested areas, Stratum A ranged from approximately 0.65 feet to 0.78 feet thick and
consisted of a medium grayish brown (7.5Y 2/2) sandy loam relic plowzone. Subsoil consisted
of a saturated reddish brown (2.5YR 2/6) compact clay. It appeared that the forested areas were
timbered at some time in the past. No artifacts were recovered from the shovel tests. Plates 1
through 27 in the attachments illustrate the current conditions of the project area.

A review of historic maps and soil surveys indicate that the project tract is comprised of
previously -converted hydric soils and wetlands with the excavation of the drainage ditches in the
early 20th century. The project area is part of an extensive flat in this area that consists of hydric
soils, drained to convert the land into agricultural production. Even with the addition of the
drainage ditches, Circa— noted that some of the project area was still in decline from the moisture
retained in the soil and ponded on the ground surface during the initial and later site visit.
Conclusion
Given the project area's location on ditched, low, previously -hydric soils on level flats, and the
distance from dry soils and water, the possibility of finding Native American resources on the
project area is considered low. Most of the previously -identified Native American resources in
the vicinity in both North Carolina and Virginia were found on elevated, dry soils adjacent to or
along perennial stream channels.
Given the project area's location on ditched, low, previously -hydric soils on level flats, and the
distance from water and dry soils, the possibility of finding historic resources is considered
low. The previously -identified historic resources in the vicinity in both North Carolina and
Virginia were found on dry soils adjacent to or along perennial stream channels and/or early
transportation routes.
The historic map research, the walkover, and limited shovel testing did not record any resources
within the project tract. These results are similar to the previous surveys located nearby in
Virginia on similar, historically -drained hydric soils. No further archaeological work is
recommended.
