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 existing conditions consist of the existing Aurora 230kV Switching Station, undeveloped forested land, and power line
rights-of-way owned by Duke Energy. Land use in the vicinity of the proposed project consists of agricultural vegetation,
forest and woodlands, and recently disturbed or modified land.
3b.
List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
2.92 acres.
3c.
List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
It is estimated that approximately 1,949 linear feet (If) of a perennial unnamed tributaries to Whitehurst Creek flow through
the property.
3d.
Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
Duke Energy plans to install a new 36-MVAR capacitor bank at their existing Aurora 230kV Switching Station to maintain
system voltage at acceptable levels for anticipated imports in the Eastern area. The proposed development and access
roads were designed to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional surface waters. Direct boring/tunneling underneath
the tributary to Whitehurst Creek was originally proposed for routing cables between the existing station and the proposed
capacitor bank yard; however, based on existing soil conditions and depth of the tributary to Whitehurst Creek, this
approach was deemed infeasible. A 24 -inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) and rip rap dissipater pad will be installed to
run the cables above the tributary as well as provide a pedestrian walkway for employee access between the existing
substation and proposed capacitor bank yard.
3e.
Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
A. Access Drives
The new access driveway shall be 20' wide and consist of 12" -thick ABC gravel. Per DOT requirements, the apron off
Hwy 33 will be paved. See the plans for the pavement requirements.
B. Substation Stone Pad
Stone placement for the substation shall be 3" ABC to the top of the subgrade for construction work. An additional 3" #57
stone over 3" ABC shall be placed as the final layer of stone on top of the compacted subgrade. The #57 stone shall be
clean, washed granite.
C. Grading
The site requires grading due to the existing site conditions with approximately 2' of fill to be placed within the footprint of
the new capacitor bank. Any excess material to be stockpiled in the provided stockpile location.
D. Tree Removal/Landscapindg
The construction requires that the majority of existing trees along the southern property line adjacent to Highway 33 be
removed. The trees and brush to be removed within S2 to accommodate the new line. This hatched area is shown on
Sheet 3 of 15.
E. Erosion and Sedimentation Control Measures
The erosion and sediment control plan includes silt fence, silt fence outlets, sediment basins, permanent swale with grass
lining, check dams outlet protection, and temporary pump around. Permanent and temporary seeding (seed, mulch and
tack) shall be used throughout the project as per the working requirements for the grading operations and/or as directed
by field inspectors. 5.25 acres of disturbance has been permitted.
Standard excavating equipment including excavators and bulldozers will be used to construct the haul roads and
proposed substation.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The following measures were considered to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional surface waters during the design
process:
• An onsite natural resources survey was conducted on Duke Energy owned parcel (6547-00-8230) to identify and map
existing jurisdictional surface waters and biological and cultural resources prior to design of the proposed capacitor bank.
• The project was designed to avoid and minimize impacts to delineated jurisdictional surface waters and other
environmental resources.
• The proposed RCP was designed with the appropriate slope and will be placed approximately 20% below the existing
stream bed elevation to maintain low flow passage of water and aquatic life movement.
• A rip rap apron will be installed below the proposed RCP to dissipate energy downstream during high flow events.
• An Erosion & Sediment Control Plan was developed to reduce sedimentation to adjacent surface waters to protect
water quality and siltation of habitat for fish and other aquatic organisms.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The following construction techniques will be implemented to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional surface waters.
• Excavated stream bed materials will be stockpiled and placed in the RCP to mimic instream conditions.
• The rip rap apron below the proposed culvert will be keyed in to prevent wash out and set at the orginal stream
elevation to maintain aquatic passage and surface water flow.
• A pump -around will be employed when installing the culvert to work in the dry. Water will be pumped through a
sediment filter bag before returning to the stream.
• Any disturbed stream banks will be sloped back, seeded with native vegetation, and matted.
• Erosion & Sediment Control devices will be installed prior to ground disturbing activities and will be inspected and
maintained throughout the project on a routine basis.
• Following construction, all disturbed areas will be restored and re -vegetated.

Coordinates Latitude: 35.2967344570675
Longitude: -76.8516952471717
Location description: The proiect area of 0.1 acres is a part of a larger, approximately 35 -acre, parcel owned by Duke
Energy. The property is located approximately 700 feet northeast of Tunstall Swamp Road around the curve of NC -33
E HWY in Aurora, Beaufort County, NC.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
X There are waters 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
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.
_ 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.

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.
_ The waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on your project area have been delineated and the delineation has been
verified by the Corps. We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be
reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to
CWA 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.
X The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management
Act (LAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Washington, 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 Emily Thompson at
[phone] or Emily.B.Thompson(&usace.army.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: N/A. An Approved JD has not been completed.
D. Remarks: The waters within the project area are accurately depicted on the attached "Figure 5.
Delineated Waters of the U.S." map created by HDR, received on 3-19-19.
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.
