VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The proposed Cobblestone
Wav road crossing was strategically placed upstream of a lame wetland and the stream's
transition point to perennial. It was also laced perpendicularly to the stream and headwalls
were utilized to minimize stream and buffer impacts. To prevent further encroachment into the
r~arian buffers and wetlands the entire [3.91 Acres] area surrounding the stream and wetland
has been dedicated open space The culverts will be placed 1-foot below the stream bed in
accordance to best mana eg ment practices (BMP's) to allow aquatic passage.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
Page 9 of 12

freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for. Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
htt~//h2o enr state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
The proposed~roiect should not be required to provide mitigation for the proposed impacts.
This is due the efforts of the developer's team to avoid jurisdictional areas to the maximum
extent possible As shown in the attached En ing eerin~ Plans, the area around the stream and
wetland areas will be maximized as a conservation area with upland vegetated buffers to
protect open waters along the unnamed tributary to the Little River.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:

WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT
TARBORO RD. - ZACHERY LANE PROJECT, YOUNGSVII.,LE, NC
For BMJ Consulting, LLC.
10/ 18/05
Executive Summary
At the request of Mr. Jarrod Edens, of Edens Engineering, in the interests of BMJ Consulting
LLC, I investigated the Tarboro Rd -Zachery Lane project site for the presence of wetlands & streams
jurisdictional to either the US Army Corps of Engineers, or to NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ). The
Zachery Rd. Project is located off Tarborn Rd, a short distance east from Youngsville, Franklin County,
NC. This property is referenced by PIN # 1861-89-2286, at the end of a private drive named Zachery
Lane. The size of the project site is about 15.75 acres, and is located on the USGS topographic
quadrangle Rolesville (35078h4, 1967; photo revised 1973) and is also shown on the Franklin County Soil
Survey, Rolesville quadrangle, sheet #13. Directions to the site are included in the Initial Conditions
section, below.
The Zachery Lane project is a single family residential development consisting of about 18 lots
accessed from Tarboro Rd. Much of the property was once under cultivation and is now a mixture of
forest stands, abandoned fields, & meadows with one stream feature that is shown on the soil survey, but
not on the USGS map. The stream feature (Feature A) enters the property over the eastern property line
and exits the property near the western property line near the southwestern property corner.
Jurisdictional wetlands were identified on this property. Delineations Plus performed a Wetland &
Stream Jurisdictional Determination (JD) & a Wetland Delineation & Stream Delineation on this property.
Delineation fieldwork began on July 14, 2005 and ended on July 16, 2005. The principal investigator was
Mr. Jonathan J. Hopkins, MPP.
The Wetland Delineation discovered one jurisdictional wetland bordering Feature A. Feature A
has been modified by either beaver or human activity and the wetland surrounds the stream (pond) that has
developed at the downstream end of Feature A. This jurisdictional wetland was flagged (lime & white).
Feature A was also delineated and was classified as intermittent from upstream of where it enters the
property, through its entire length across ±he property.
The DWQ officer inspected Feature A and hung a orange flag with black stripes to mark the
beginning of the Neuse River buffer zone jurisdiction at the eastern property line. Thus Feature A will
require buffers on its entire length. However, the two existing drainage ditches that join Feature A are not
subject to the buffer rules.
The Corps officer also claimed jurisdiction over Feature A from the property line west
(downstream). He signed off on the wetland flags- hung by Delineations Plus with no corrections. The
Corps officer did not claim jurisdiction over the two drainage ditches.
As always, final authority over jurisdictional wetland delineations, stream delineations and impact
analysis rests with the Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) pursuant to the provisions of Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act. Final authority over water quality issues, Neuse River buffer rules & stream calls
rests with the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act &
15A NCAC 02B.0233.

Scope of Work
Delineations Plus performed a Wetland & Stream Jurisdictional Determination (JD) & a Wetland
Delineation & Stream Delineation on this property. The JD consists of a pedestrian investigation of the
property to identify areas that would probably be jurisdictional to either the Corps, DWQ, or both. If
areas with wetland or stream characteristics are discovered on site, then a Wetland Delineation is
performed. The Wetland Delineation consists of a pedestrian investigation of the property to identify
areas that meet the hydrological, hydrophytic vegetation, and hydric soils criteria of a wetland as defined
in the 1987 USACE Wetland Delineation Manual. Those areas that show positive criteria indicators for
wetlands in all three categories are considered jurisdictional wetlands. These jurisdictional wetlands are
then flagged.
In this delineation, Feature A comes on the property from the east, at a place where the property
line is flagged & visible. Feature A exits the property by the southwestern corner. Hence all of Feature A
from one property line to the other property line is within the scope of this investigation. Other drainage
features, and potential wetlands, on the whole property were investigated. Thus, the limits of evaluation
for this report are the property boundaries.
Methodology
The JD and the Wetland Delineation were done following procedures and criteria in the 1987
USACE Wetland Delineation Manual. The Franklin County Soil Survey (1994), and the Franklin County
List of Hydric Soils were considered in this analysis. Both the soil survey and the USGS Rolesville
topographic quadrangle were used to' locate and verify streams on the property. Vegetation analysis was
done using the US Fish & Wildlife Service 1988 Region 2 Plant List. The National Wetland Inventory
(NWI) map for this area was also used in this analysis. No wells or piezometers were installed.
Data points were determined wetland or upland according to Wetland indicators listed in the 1987
Manual. Each data point was examined for positive wetland indicators in each of three critical categories:
hydrophytic vegetation, hydrology, and hydric soils. If a positive indicator was observed among the
criteria listed in each category, then the category was considered satisfied. A data point was designated as
a jurisdictional wetland only if it showed positive indicators in all three categories.
When a data point was determined to be a jurisdictional wetland, the boundaries were flagged in
sequentially numbered flags. Boundaries were determined using reducing conditions, general topography,
micro-topography, and both gradual and abrupt vegetation community changes.
Initial Conditions
General Location & Terrain
The Zachery Lane project site is located behind the property bordering Tarboro Rd that is accessed
by Zachery Lane. At the end of Zachery Lane there are two properties, a single family home to the left
and a trailer.to the right. The project site borders these properties to the west & south. The property is
roughly rectangular, with a triangular point at it's southern end (see property sketch), with an acreage of
about 15.75 acres. All property boundaries are flagged at the corners. The eastern property line is
flagged it's whole length, and the western line is associated with a thin tree line and a fallow agricultural
field to the west. The property is shown on the USGS topographic quadrangle Rolesville (35078h4,
1967; photo revised 1973); and also on the Franklin County Soil Survey, sheet #13. The Franklin County
PIN # of this property is 1861-89-2286.
From I-40 take I-540 E to exit 16, Capital Blvd. US 1 N, and take US 1 north. Perry Creek Rd.
joins US 1 about 2.1 miles north and you take a right onto Perry Creek Rd. Take Perry Creek Rd. to US
401 (Louisburg Rd.) And turn left onto US 401. Follow US 401 through Rolesville and past the county
line to Sid Eaves Rd (SR 1101) and take a left onto Sid Eaves Rd. Take Sid Eaves Rd to Tarboro Rd (SR
1100) and take a left onto Tarboro Rd. Follow Tarboro Rd past Moores Pond Rd. past Murphy Rd (on
-2-

the right), past Cherry Laurel Rd (left) to Zachery Lane, about 400 feet past Cherry Laurel Rd. Go down
Zachery Lane to its end where the project site begins.
This property is mostly upland area north & south of Feature A, which cuts diagonally across the
southern half of the property. The southern upland is relatively undisturbed climax forest. The northern
upland area is mixed forest, meadow, and previously farmed areas. The topography is moderately sloped
going down to Feature A on both sides. The southern slopes are steeper that the northern. The existing
wetland borders Feature A on both sides on its western end. This end of Feature A is ponded -due to
either human or beaver modification. The drainage ditches feed Feature A about where the wetland
begins.
Local Hydrology
This site is in the Neuse River basin. Feature A is an unnamed tributary of Little River, north of
Moores Pond. Feature A feeds a pond to its west, but has no ponds upstream of it. This feature is not
shown on the USGS map, but is shown on the Franklin County Soil Survey. The Stream Delineation
classified Feature A as intermittent in its upstream channel and clearly perennial in its downstream channel
(from about halfway .across the property). Thus all of Feature A is jurisdictional to the Neuse River Buffer
Rules (15A NCAC 02B.0233). In addition, the Corps claimed jurisdiction over it's entire run on this
property. Wetland A borders Feature A starting about where the drainage ditches join that feature. The
downstream area of Wetland A includes the beaver pond that exists on the western end of the property.
Precipitation
Precipitation data for this location came from two sources: The National Resource Conservation
Service (MRCS) WETS Station, Louisburg, NC5123, and from The National Weather Service (NWS)
form F-6 for Raleigh-Durham International Airport, NC, from January 2005 through August 2005. Data
was used to gain a general understanding of the climate effects on wetlands in this area, both current and
historical.
The WETS Station report monthly averages reveal that the wettest parts of the normal year here is
during January, March, May, and then July through September. Each of these months, on average, has
greater than 4.12" of rain during the month, over the years on record (1971 - 2000). The five remaining
months of the year have less than 3.73" per month during a normal year. The probability is 40% that this
area will have between 40.56" and 51.59" annually.
For this site, the time period asso~~?ted with a 50% probability that the air temperature is >_28° F is
from 04/06 until 10/28. That makes the growing season here 205 days long. For regulatory purposes, 5%
of this growing season is 10.25 days. During a normal year, wetlands should be saturated to the surface
during the wet season . Jurisdictional wetlands at this site should be saturated to the surface for 10.25
consecutive days of the growing season during a normal year.
The NWS F-6 reveals that rainfall has been below normal this year from January 2005 through
March 2005. April rainfall was slightly above average; while May & June were below average. July had
well above average precipitation (+ 3.35") while August was slightly above average (+ 0.12). The total
rainfall for this year through August has been 26.71 ", which is below average by 2.89". Therefore, to
date, this year has been drier than normal. Thus, the wetland boundaries flagged in the field may be under-
estimations of the boundaries during a normal year.
Soils
Soils series in this area were mapped in the Franklin County Soil Survey (1994). Field work was
done during 1993. This property is shown on Sheet # 13, in the center north, along the edge. The soil
series mapped on this property, within the limits of evaluation, are listed on the following chart:
Symbol Subgroup & Family Series Phase
HeB Aquic Hapludults Helena sandy loam 2 to 6% slopes
VaB Typic Hapludults Vance sandy loam 2 to 6% slopes
One of these soil series, the Helena sandy loam; is listed on the Franklin County List of Hydric
Soils. None of the data points confirmed ±.he existence of this soil series.
-3-

Plant Communities
Plant communities were identified using Classification of the Natural Communities of North
Carolina: Third Approximation (Schafale & Weakley, 1990).
Wetland Delineation
Data points were determined wetland or upland according to Wetland Indicators listed in the 1987
Manual. Data points were chosen based on hydrology indicators listed in the 1987 USACE Wetland
Delineation Manual. Then vegetation analysis was done using both the 1987 USACE Wetland Delineation
Manual & the US Fish & Wildlife Service 1988 Region 1 Plant List. If hydrophytic vegetation was
present, then soil characteristics were considered. Hydric soil criteria that showed positive indicators on
this site were 44.e: reducing conditions and 44.f: soil colors. A data point was designated as a
jurisdictional wetland only if it satisfied at least one criteria in all three categories (hydrophytic vegetation,
hydrology, and hydric soils). If the data point contained positive indicators in all three categories then it's
boundaries were determined using reducing conditions, general topography, micro-topography, and
vegetation community changes.
Although part of this property is in mapped hydric soils (Franklin County Hydric soils list), the
NWI map for this area shows no wetland features on this property. The Jurisdictional Determination,
however, indicated that wetlands were present. The Wetland Delineation located Wetland A on the
western half of Feature A, bordering Feature A. This wetland occurs where the topography of the
northern uplands, after coming down a long gradual slope, drops sharply and then flattens out before it
ends in the ponded region of Feature A. The southern uplands fall more steeply as they come to Feature
A from the south, then they too take a final drop, ending in a shelf, and end at Feature A.
Wetland Hydrology
Hydrology of the wetlands on this site is a combination of precipitation runoff from about 20 acres
of upland, ponded conditions due to alterations by either man or beaver, and groundwater close to the
surface of the final shelf of land before the stream (pond) begins. Wetland A had a seasonal high water
table (SHWT) of about''/z" bgs. at Data Point 1, with water in the hole at about 3". Soil was saturated at
the surface during this investigation. Alpha alpha dipyridyl tested positive at about '/z" bgs.
These hydrologic conditions, combined with the clay content of the soils, produce zones that are
probably saturated for long duration, or fir very long duration. For regulatory purposes, 5% of this
growing season is 10.25 days. Delineation fieldwork began on 07/14/05 and ended on 07/16/05. This
was during the growing season and during the normal wet season. Since Wetland A was saturated at the
surface during this investigation (during a year of less than normal rainfall), it is my professional judgement
that this wetland is saturated to the surface for 5% of the growing season during a year of average rainfall.
That means that Wetland A is jurisdictional to the US Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act.
Wetland Boundaries
Boundaries were partially determined using alpha alpha dipyridyl, which tests for ferrous iron in
the soil. The presence of ferrous iron in the soil is an indicator of reducing conditions. Reducing
conditions exist in water-logged soils, and water-logged soils are a necessary component in the formation
of hydric soils and the perpetuation of hydrophytic vegetation. Thus reducing conditions are used as a
wetland indicator. This test for reducing conditions, combined with observation of the general
topography, the micro-topography, and plant community transitions, were the indicators used to flag the
wetland boundaries. For this wetland, topography and reducing conditions were the major boundary
determinants. Boundaries were flagged~with lime & white flags. Copies of Data Points are available upon
request.

Stream Delineation
Feature A was evaluated using the NC Division of Water Quality Stream classification form & the
US Army Corps of Engineers stream classification form. Stream Data Point 1 (SDPl) describes Feature
A where it flows on to the property, while SDP2 describes conditions of Feature A downstream of the
first dam that blocks the channel. Feature A was judged as intermittent as it passed over the eastern
property line (scored 21.5 by the DWQ officer) and it becomes perennial after the second dam across the
channel (DWQ score 28.5 in the upstream perennial stretch). The DWQ officer ruled that Feature A was
subject to the buffer rules from its upstream crossing of the eastern property line all the way across the
property to where it exits beside the southwest property corner.
Feature A was also claimed as a "water of the US" by the inspecting Corps officer. That means
that the Corps also claims jurisdiction over this feature (i. e. the stream bed and banks of Feature A). Thus
feature A is jurisdictional to both the Corps and to the Neuse River buffer rules.
Conclusions
Jurisdictional wetlands were identified on this property. Delineations Plus performed a Wetland &
Stream Jurisdictional Determination (JD) & a Wetland Delineation & Stream Delineation on this property.
Delineation fieldwork began on July 14, 2005 and ended on July 16, 2005. The principal investigator was
Mr. Jonathan J. Hopkins, MPP.
The Wetland Delineation discovered one jurisdictional wetland bordering Feature A. Feature A
has been modified by either beaver or human activity and the wetland surrounds the stream (pond) that has
developed at the downstream end of Feature A. This jurisdictional wetland was flagged (lime. & white).
Feature A was also delineated and was classified as intermittent from upstream of where it enters the
property, although the downstream end of Feature A is perennial.
The DWQ officer inspected Feature A and hung a orange flag with black stripes to mark the
beginning of the Neuse River buffer zone jurisdiction at the eastern property line. Thus Feature A will
require buffers on it's entire length. However, the two existing drainage ditches that join Feature A are
not subject to the buffer rules.
The Corps officer also claimed jurisdiction over Feature A from the property line west
(downstream). He approved the wetland flags hung by Delineations Plus with no corrections. The Corps
officer did not claim jurisdiction over the t•~vo drainage ditches.
As always, final authority over jurisdictional wetland delineations, stream delineations and impact
analysis rests with the Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) pursuant to the provisions of Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act. Final authority over water quality issues, Neuse River buffer rules & stream calls
rests with the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act &
15A NCAC 02B.0233.
Additional Work
The next phase of the Delineation process will be the production of the Wetland Map. Once the
map is produced, Delineations Plus will have the Corps officer sign off on the map, making this
delineation good for five years from the date of signature. Upon it's release from the Corps, a copy of the
map will be delivered to Edens Engineering & to BMJ Consulting, LLC. All of this work is covered in
the current contract.
A 404 permit may be required by the Corps due to wetland and/or stream impacts. If a 404 is
required, it will trigger the need fora 401 permit from the NCDWQ. There may also be Neuse River
buffer impacts. If you would like Delineations Plus to consult with you and complete applications for
your 404 or 401 permits, please contact us.
