those larger than 11"xl7", may also be submitted for Corps signature as needed. The
Corps also accepts electronic submittals of plats, such as those transmitted as a Portable
Document Format (PDF) file. Uponverification, the Corps can electronically sign these

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre -construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
3

This preliminary JD finds that there "may be"waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Notes:
The Tar River is a large, coastal plain perennial stream within the study area.
The bankful width is roughly 230' and the bankful height is 8'. The channel is 3-
5' deep and has a moderate flow. During sampling, the water was turbid, likely
due to recent heavy rainfall. No aquatic biology was observed, however the Tar
River provides habitat for many mullosks, fish, and other aquatic organisms.

Notes:
Stream SIB is a perennial secondary tributary to the Tar River in Pitt County. The
banks along SIB are 4' deep and 25' wide. The channel is roughly 3' deep and
has a low -flow. During sampling, the channel was slightly out of bank due to
recent heavy rainfall. Channel appears to be excavated and ATV roads run
along both banks.

of the Tar River. Some berms appear to be natural, while others appear man-made spoil from
river channelization. WB-UP was taken approximately 2-3' higher and 80' northeast of WB-WET.

WB is an expansive floodplain associated with the Tar River. WB is inundated throughout to
varying depths. Depths of 1-2' were observed near data point WB-WET. Small seeps are also
present along the toe of the slope away from the Tar River.

Remarks:
WB is bounded topographically on most sides by small berms. 0-3' tall cypress knees were
observed throughout the wetland. WB is frequently flooded from the Tar River and small seeps,
as well as precipitation.
