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.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the findings of a Preliminary Jurisdictional Waters Determination (PJWD)
conducted for Redwood Acquisition, Inc. (Redwood) at the Redwood Monroe site (the Site),
located in Monroe, Union County, North Carolina. The location of the Site relative to roads and
principal surface features is indicated on Figure 1.
CEC’s services were completed in accordance with the authorization request for additional
services dated December 13, 2018. CEC’s services were authorized by Mr. Greg Thurman of
Redwood.
1.1 PURPOSE
The purpose of the PJWD was to identify and delineate wetlands, streams, and other water features
within the Site, and to make preliminary jurisdictional determinations for the identified features.
1.2 SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The Site is approximately 23.17 acres and consists primarily of agricultural fields and wooded
areas. An existing sanitary sewer line is located in the eastern portion of the Site, east of
Woodlands Creek Drive. Surrounding land use consists mainly of residential development,
agricultural fields and wooded areas. According to USGS topographic map (Figure 1), land
surface elevation in the eastern and western portions of the site are approximately 630 feet above
mean sea level (amsl). Land elevation slopes towards the central portion of the site to
approximately 610 feet amsl. Overland flow from the Site generally drains to the northeast towards
Stream 1 and Stream 2, which are unnamed tributaries to Stewarts Creek, a Relatively Permanent
Water (RPW). Stewarts Creek generally flows northeast into Richardson Creek, which flows into
Rocky River a Traditionally Navigable Waterway (TNW). The Site is located in the Upper Rocky
River Watershed (Hydrologic Unit Code [HUC]-8: 03040105).

March 1, 2019
2.0 METHODS
2.1 OFFICE DATA REVIEW
CEC personnel first reviewed the background sources listed below to establish the Site
characteristics that could aid in the identification of possible wetlands and streams. Data from
these sources are presented in Figure 2.
• U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI);
• Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database for Union County, North Carolina (U.S.
Department of Agriculture and National Resource Conservation Service [USDA, NRCS],
2018a);
• National List of Hydric Soils (USDA, NRCS, 2018b);
• National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) streams (United States Geological Survey [USGS]);
• Digital Flood Insurance Rate (D-Firm) Maps (Federal Emergency Management Agency
[FEMA], 2012); and,
• North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Resources
(NC DWR), Surface Water Classifications (NC DWR 2018).
2.2 SITE RECONNAISSANCE
On January 7, 2019, CEC biologists traversed the Site by foot to identify and delineate wetlands,
streams, and other water features (e.g., open water features, swales, ditches, and retention basins)
within the Site. The locations and extents of identified water features were recorded using a
Trimble GeoXT handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) unit.
The wetland delineation was based on CEC’s professional judgment and interpretation of the
routine determination methodology and technical criteria presented in the following documents:
Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Corps Manual) (USACE, 1987); Regional
Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and
Piedmont Region, Version 2.0 (Supplement) (USACE, 2010); The National Wetland Plant List:
2016 Wetland Ratings, (Lichvar et al., 2016); and, Field Indicators of Hydric Soils of the United
States (USDA, NRCS, 2018).
3 PJWD Redwood Monroe /CEC Project 185-886
March 1, 2019
Streams were characterized in accordance with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and
National Register’s regulations defining ephemeral, intermittent, and perennial streams.
Identified Streams were evaluated using the NC DWR Methodology for Identification of
Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins, Version 4.11 (NC, 2010) by Kevin Thomas
who has successfully completed the Surface Water Identification and Training Certification
Course.
2.3 PRELIMINARY JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATIONS
Preliminary jurisdictional determinations for identified water features were made using CEC’s
professional judgment and interpretation of the Jurisdictional Determination Form Instructional
Guidebook (USACE, 2007). For the purposes of this report, non-jurisdictional is defined as
aquatic features that are not regulated by either the USACE under the provisions of Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA) or the NC DWR under the provisions of Section 401 of the CWA.

3.0 RESULTS
3.1 OFFICE DATA REVIEW
3.1.1 National Wetlands Inventory Data
According to NWI mapping, there is one mapped freshwater pond in the southwestern portion of
the Site. This feature corresponds with Wetland A (Figure 2).
3.1.2 Site Soils Surveys
As depicted in Table 1 and Figure 2, three (3) soil map units are located within the Site (USDA,
NRCS 2018a). Neither of the soil map units are classified by the USDA as hydric (USDA,
NRCS 2018b). Data forms included in Appendix B note the mapped soil type present at each
specific sample point.

3.1.3 NHD Streams
NHD data indicates there are two mapped NHD streams within the Site. These correspond with
Stream 1 and 2, unnamed tributaries to Stewarts Creek (Figure 2).
3.1.4 NC DWR Waterbody Classifications
According the DWR Surface Water Classification map, Stream 1 and Stream 2 do not have a
surface water classification; thus, it is assumed that these streams are considered Class C waters:
Secondary Recreation, Freshwater. In accordance with 15 A NCAC 02B .0101(c)(8), the on-site
wetland is a Class WL waters; meaning the feature meets the definition of a wetland.
5 PJWD Redwood Monroe /CEC Project 185-886
March 1, 2019
3.1.5 Floodplain Considerations
The Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (D-Firm) data dated October 16, 2012 indicates that the
Site does not fall within a mapped 100-year floodplain.
3.2 SITE RECONNAISSANCE
Water features identified within the Site consist of one wetland and two streams. No other water
features were identified within the Site. The approximate location of the identified water features
are shown on the attached Preliminary Jurisdictional Waters Determination Map (Figure 3).
3.2.1 Wetlands
Data were collected from six (6) sample points within the Site. Based on the findings at these
sample points, one palustrine emergent (PEM) was identified on the Site. The approximate
location of the sample points and wetland are presented in Figure 3. Representative photographs
are provided in Appendix A. Wetland determination data forms are provided in Appendix B.
Additional details regarding the wetland are provided below and summarized in Table 2.
Wetland A, a PEM wetland, was identified in the southwestern portion of the Site. Wetland A
was located in a depression within a wooded area, drains into Stream 1 and was approximately
0.1 acre. Based on review of aerial photography, it appears that this wetland corresponds with the
location of a former farm pond. At the sample point for this wetland, the plant community was
dominated by rice-cut grass (Leersia oryzoides). In the southwest portion of Wetland A there is a
small palustrine scrub/shrub (PSS) component. The indicators of wetland hydrology were surface
water, high water table, saturation, water stained leaves, hydrogen sulfide odor, geomorphic
position and FAC-neutral test. The indicators of hydric soil were hydrogen sulfide and depleted
matrix.

3.2.2 Streams
CEC identified two streams within the Site, including one perennial stream and one stream with
intermittent and perennial flow regimes. The approximate locations of these streams are shown in
Figure 3. Photographs of the streams are included in Appendix A. The NC DWR Stream
Identification Forms are presented at Appendix C. Additional details regarding each stream is
provided below.
Stream 1, is located in the central portion of the Site. Stream 1 originates from Wetland A, and
continues northeast offsite. The on-site portion of Stream 1 exhibits both intermittent and perennial
flow and is approximately 1,037 linear feet (LF) in length. The average OHWM measurements of
the intermittent portion of Stream 1 are approximately 2.5 feet wide and 0.25 inches deep. The
substrate consists predominantly of gravel, silt and clay. The average OHWM measurements of
the perennial portion of Stream 1 are approximately 3 feet wide and 5 inches deep. The substrate
consists predominantly of silt, sand and gravel. At the time of the field visit, the stream was
flowing.
Stream 2 is located along the eastern boundary of the Site. This stream originates offsite from the
south and flows north offsite. Stream 2 exhibits perennial flow and is approximately 773 LF in
length. The average OHWM measurements of Stream 2 are approximately 6 feet wide and
0.5 inches deep. Max pool depth was 1.5 feet. The substrate consists predominantly of silt,
bedrock, gravel and cobble. At the time of the field visit, the stream was flowing.

3.3 PRELIMINARY JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATIONS
3.3.1 Preliminary Jurisdictional Water Features
One potentially jurisdictional wetland and two potentially jurisdictional streams were identified
on-site. Stream 1 and Stream 2 are tributaries to Stewarts Creek, which eventually flows to the
Rocky River. Wetland A abuts Stream 1. Therefore, these features appear to have a significant
nexus to the Rocky River, a TNW. The preliminary jurisdictional water features identified within
the Site are summarized in Table 3.

4.0 REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
The USACE and NC DWR regulate impacts to jurisdictional waters in the state of North Carolina.
A permit must be obtained from the USACE under the provisions of Section 404 of the CWA and
from the NC DWR under the provisions of Section 401 of the CWA Act prior to discharging
dredged or fill material into waters of the United States. Isolated wetlands in North Carolina that
do not have a significant nexus to navigable waterways are regulated by the NC DWR.
If CWA Section 404/401 authorization and/or other federal permits are required for the proposed
project, consultation with the USFWS relative to potential affects to the northern long-eared bat
will likely be required pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. Furthermore,
consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office may also be required relative to potential

5.0 CONCLUSIONS
CEC identified the following within the Site:
• One potentially jurisdictional wetland (approximately 0.10 acres)
• Two potentially jurisdictional streams (approximately 1,810 on-site linear feet)
Since the USACE has authority to determine and/or verify the geographical boundaries of waters
of the U.S. this investigation was termed “preliminary” to this point. As requested, CEC will
submit a copy of this report to the Wilmington District of the USACE for written verification of
the findings.

6.0 LEVEL OF CARE
The PJWD services performed by CEC were conducted in a manner consistent with the criteria
contained in the Corps Manual and Supplement and with the level of care and skill ordinarily
exercised by members of the environmental consulting profession practicing contemporaneously
under similar conditions in the locality of the project. It must be recognized that the jurisdictional
waters determination was based on field observations and CEC's professional interpretation of the
criteria in the Corps Manual at the time of our fieldwork. PJWD reports may change subsequent
to CEC's determination based on changes in the regulatory criteria, seasonal variations in
hydrology, alterations to drainage patterns and other human activities and/or land disturbances.
