RE: Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination: NC 59 Improvements from Betsy Ross Drive
(SR3352)to Parkton Road (SR1118),Cumberland County, STIP Project No. U-6001,WBS No.
46960.1,1
Dear Ms. Hair:
Per the November 27, 2018, Start of Study(Request for Scoping Comments) letter you've previously
received,the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Division 6 plans to:
Widen NC 59(South Main Street)from 2-lanes to 4-lanes, with a narrow divided median,from
Betsy Ross Drive (SR 3352) to Parkton Road(SR 1118) in unincorporated Cumberland County
just south of downtown Hope Mills. The intersections with Jefferson Street(SR 1123) and Porter
Road(SR 1353) will be converted to roundabouts. Parkton Road(SR 1118) will be realigned onto
a new location 325 feet south of the current location.
The purpose of this letter is to request a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD)for this project.
Sincerely,
James J. Rerko
Project Development& Environmental Analysis Engineer, Division 6

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION(JD)TYPE (Select One)
❑� I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination(PJD)provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States"or"navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed(33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary"in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination(AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States"or"navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner,permit applicant, or other"affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2)who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS

or linear length of these features as appropriate.
For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations:
■ Wetland and non-wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404,
Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be
identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non-wetland Waters of
the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and
linear length of these features as appropriate.

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.

Is the assessment area's surface water storage capacity or duration substantially altered by beaver? F Yes No
Does the assessment area experience overbank flooding during normal rainfall conditions? • Yes No
1. Ground Surface Condition/Vegetation Condition—assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider alteration to the ground surface(GS)in the assessment area and vegetation structure
(VS)in the assessment area. Compare to reference wetland if applicable(see User Manual). If a reference is not applicable,
then rate the assessment area based on evidence of an effect.
GS VS
F,A FA Not severely altered
B [—,B Severely altered over a majority of the assessment area(ground surface alteration examples: vehicle tracks,excessive
sedimentation,fire-plow lanes,skidder tracks,bedding,fill,soil compaction,obvious pollutants)(vegetation structure
alteration examples: mechanical disturbance,herbicides,salt intrusion[where appropriate],exotic species,grazing,
less diversity[if appropriate],hydrologic alteration)
2. Surface and Sub-Surface Storage Capacity and Duration—assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider surface storage capacity and duration(Surf)and sub-surface storage capacity and
duration (Sub). Consider both increase and decrease in hydrology. Refer to the current NRCS lateral effect of ditching guidance for
North Carolina hydric soils(see USACE Wilmington District website)for the zone of influence of ditches in hydric soils. A ditch
<_1 foot deep is considered to affect surface water only,while a ditch >1 foot deep is expected to affect both surface and ditch
sub-surface water.Consider tidal flooding regime,if applicable.
Surf Sub
A +;A Water storage capacity and duration are not altered.
B ;B Water storage capacity or duration are altered,but not substantially(typically,not sufficient to change vegetation).
C ;C Water storage capacity or duration are substantially altered(typically,alteration sufficient to result in vegetation
change)(examples:draining,flooding,soil compaction,filling,excessive sedimentation,underground utility lines).
3. Water Storage/Surface Relief—assessment area/wetland type condition metric(answer for non-marsh wetlands only)
Check a box in each column for each group below. Select the appropriate storage for the assessment area(AA)and the wetland
type(WT).
AA WT
3a. FA [—,A Majority of wetland with depressions able to pond water>1 foot deep
B F B Majority of wetland with depressions able to pond water 6 inches to 1 foot deep
C C Majority of wetland with depressions able to pond water 3 to 6 inches deep
D D Depressions able to pond water<3 inches deep
3b. A Evidence that maximum depth of inundation is greater than 2 feet
B Evidence that maximum depth of inundation is between 1 and 2 feet
F,C Evidence that maximum depth of inundation is less than 1 foot

4. Soil Texture/Structure—assessment area condition metric
Check a box from each of the three soil property groups below. Dig soil profile in the dominant assessment area landscape
feature. Make soil observations within the 12 inches. Use most recent National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils guidance for
regional indicators.
4a. ;A Sandy soil
B Loamy or clayey soils exhibiting redoximorphic features(concentrations,depletions,or rhizospheres)
C Loamy or clayey soils not exhibiting redoximorphic features
D Loamy or clayey gleyed soil
E Histosol or histic epipedon
4b. ;A Soil ribbon<1 inch
B Soil ribbon>_1 inch
4c. A No peat or muck presence
B A peat or muck presence
5. Discharge into Wetland—opportunity metric
Check a box in each column. Consider surface pollutants or discharges(Surf)and sub-surface pollutants or discharges(Sub).
Examples of sub-surface discharges include presence of nearby septic tank,underground storage tank(UST),etc.
Surf Sub
;A A Little or no evidence of pollutants or discharges entering the assessment area
B B Noticeable evidence of pollutants or discharges entering the wetland and stressing,but not overwhelming the
treatment capacity of the assessment area
C C Noticeable evidence of pollutants or discharges(pathogen,particulate,or soluble)entering the assessment area and
potentially overwhelming the treatment capacity of the wetland(water discoloration,dead vegetation,excessive
sedimentation,odor)
6. Land Use—opportunity metric
Check all that apply(at least one box in each column). Evaluation involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. Consider sources
draining to assessment area within entire upstream watershed(WS),within 5 miles and within the watershed draining to the
assessment area(5M),and within 2 miles and within the watershed draining to the assessment area(2M). Effective riparian buffers
are considered to be 50 feet wide in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont ecoregions and 30 feet wide in the Blue Ridge Mountains ecoregion.
WS 5M 2M
F A (✓A F1 A z 10%impervious surfaces
FO B r B r B <10%impervious surfaces
r C r C r C Confined animal operations(or other local,concentrated source of pollutants)
r D F D F D z 20%coverage of pasture
F E F E r E z 20%coverage of agricultural land(regularly plowed land)
F1 F F1 F r F z 20%coverage of maintained grass/herb
F-1 G P1 G f+G z 20%coverage of clear-cut land
r H r H ro-' H Little or no opportunity to improve water quality. Lack of opportunity may result from hydrologic alterations
that prevent drainage or overbank flow from affecting the assessment area.
7. Wetland Acting as Vegetated Buffer—assessment area/wetland complex condition metric
7a. Is assessment area within 50 feet of a tributary or other open water?
;Yes r;No If Yes,continue to 7b. If No,skip to Metric 8.
Wetland buffer need only be present on one side of the water body. Make buffer judgment based on the average width of the wetland.
Record a note if a portion of the buffer has been removed or disturbed.
7b. How much of the first 50 feet from the bank is weltand? Descriptor E should be selected if ditches effectively bypass the buffer.
A >_50 feet
B From 30 to<50 feet
C From 15 to<30 feet
D From 5 to<15 feet
E <5 feet or buffer bypassed by ditches
7c. Tributary width. If the tributary is anastomosed,combine widths of channels/braids for a total width.
r,<_15-feet wide [-,>15-feet wide F,Other open water(no tributary present)
7d. Do roots of assessment area vegetation extend into the bank of the tributary/open water?
Yes [—,No
7e. Is tributary or other open water sheltered or exposed?
E.;Sheltered—adjacent open water with width<2500 feet and no regular boat traffic.
Exposed—adjacent open water with width>_2500 feet or regular boat traffic.
8. Wetland Width at the Assessment Area—wetland type/wetland complex metric(evaluate for riparian wetlands only)
Check a box in each column. Select the average width for the wetland type at the assessment area(WT)
and the wetland complex at the assessment areas(WC). See User Manual for WT and WC boundaries.
WT WC
A ;A z 100 feet
B ;B From 80 to<100 feet
C ;C From 50 to<80 feet
D ;D From 40 to<50 feet
E ;E From 30 to<40 feet
F ;F From 15 to<30 feet
G ;G From 5 to<15 feet
;H ;H <5feet

9. Inundation Duration-assessment area condition metric
Answer for assessment area dominant landform.
�-;A Evidence of short-duration inundation(<7 consecutive days)
B Evidence of saturation,without evidence of inundation
C Evidence of long-duration inundation or very long-duration inundation(7 to 30 consecutive days or more)
10. Indicators of Deposition-assessment area condition metric
Consider recent deposition only(no plant growth since deposition).
A Sediment deposition is not excessive,but at approximately natural levels.
B Sediment deposition is excessive,but not overwhelming the wetland.
C Sediment deposition is excessive and is overwhelming the wetland.
11. Wetland Size-wetland type/wetland complex condition metric
Check a box in each column. Involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. This metric evaluates three aspects of the wetland area:the
size of the wetland type(WT),the size of the wetland complex(WC),and the size of the forested wetland(FW)(if applicable,see User
Manual). See the User Manual for boundaries of these evaluation areas. If assessment area is clear-cut,select"K"for the FW column.

May involve a GIS effort with field adjustment. Estimate distance from wetland type boundary to artificial edges. Artificial edges include
non-forested areas >_40 feet wide such as fields, development, roads, regularly maintained utility line corridors, and clear-cuts. Consider
the eight main points of the compass. Artificial edge occurs within 150 feet in how many directions? If the assessment area is clear cut,
select option"C."
❑A 0
❑■B 1to4

species,with exotic plants absent or sparse within the assessment area.
❑B Vegetation is different from reference condition in species diversity or proportions, but still largely composed of native species
characteristic of the wetland type. This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clearcutting or
clearing. It also includes communities with exotics present, but not dominant,over a large portion of the expected strata.
❑C Vegetation severely altered from reference in composition, or expected species are unnaturally absent (planted stands of non-
characteristic species or at least one stratum inappropriately composed of a single species), or exotic species are dominant in at
least one stratum.
