Dear Mr. Ross,
ATFFMA'?EHNR
LILT SEP 14 10 i?
Enclosed you should find materials that have been put together to assist you in preparing a wet detention
pond design to be submitted to the Division. Specifically, this is in regard to your conversation with DEM
staff about your Butner Prison Expansion Project. Enclosed you should find:
1. "An Overview of Wet Detention Basin Design" ,
2. Surface Area to Drainage Area Ratios (SA/DA), Table and Explanation
3. Example of an outlet structure with drawdown control, Diagram
4. Requirements for submittal
This information should help you understand how a wet detention pond will be evaluated by the Division,
but is not intended to provide a detailed design manual for wet detention ponds. These documents are in
draft form and are subject to revision at anytime in the future, although the design methodology should
remain consistent. The sizing guidelines mentioned in the enclosed documents are based on the work of
Eugene D. Driscoll in Methodology for Analysis of Detention Basins for Control of Urban Runoff Quality,
EPA 440/5-87-001.
So that your design can be evaluated accurately and in a timely manner, please include the information
listed on the attachment entitled "Requirements for Submittal". Wet detention ponds should always be
designed to control the design storm that is specified by relevant guidelines and code, and should be
designed with generally accepted practices of safety and maintenance applied.
If you have any questions regarding this material, or need clarification of these guidelines, please call me at
[phone]. I will be glad to help you understand the Divisions requirements for your project,
especially in the early stages of design.
Sincerely,
Scot omas

Dear Mr. Swift:
Reference your application of August 10, 1993, for Department of the Army
authorization to discharge fill material within waters of the United States,
causing the loss of 4.71 acres of wetlands adjacent, and above the headwaters
of, unnamed tributaries to Knap of Reeds Creek, for construction of a Federal
Medical Center and support facilities and a proposed expansion of the Federal
Correctional Institution, on the existing prison site on the north side of
S.R. 1004, near Butner, Granville, and Durham Counties, North Carolina.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits (NWP).
Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated
waters.
Your work, causing the loss of 4.71 acres of wetlands, is authorized by
this NWP provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed
conditions and provided you receive a Section 401 water quality certification
from the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management. You should
contact Mr. John Dorney, telephone [phone], regarding water quality
certification. This NWP does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain
other required State or local approval.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the NWP authorization is reissued without modification or the activity
complies with any subsequent modification of the NWP authorization. If during
the 2 years, the NWP authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is
modified, such that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and
-2-
conditions of the NWP, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under
construction) or are under contract to commence in reliance upon the NWP will
remain authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the
date of the NWP's expiration, modification or revocation, unless discretionary
authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify, suspend, or
revoke the authorization.
Please note that this authorization is valid for the work described above
only, and impacts of subsequent projects on this property would have to be
considered cumulatively with these impacts. Questions or comments may be
addressed to Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, at telephone
[phone], extension 23.
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright

LIT`r SECTION
FROM: Karl Shaffer- Soil Scientist
SUBJECT: Staff Report for U.S Department of Justice
Butner Prison Complex
401 Certification Application
Granville and Durham Counties
The RRO received the subject application package, but no
standard staff report sheet was enclosed. This memo will include
all required staff report information.
Project Type: Construction of additional prison facilities and
regional hospital for U.S. Dept. of Justice
Wetlands Impact: Yes- proposed 4.6 acres total with combination
of NW26 and NW14. Note, the jurisdictional
wetlands were grossly over-delineated. Most
of the areas would neither have the soils or
hydrology to be jurisdictional. True estimate
of wetlands impact is 1.0 to 1.5 acres over
entire 700+ acre site.
Wetland Score: 17.75 Points, rating sheet attached
Hydrologic Connection? Yes
Mitigation: None proposed, none required (Acreage and Type- NA)
Water Impacted? No
Wetlands area estimated? yes; see above comments concerning
acreage
w

Wetland Type: Site is characterized by narrow channels in rolling
to steep topography. Sideslopes to channels are 3 to 20 percent.
Channel fall is 1 to 2 feet per hundred on avreage. There are very
few pockets of floodplain less than one percent slope; therefore
little water/pollutant storage and thus low value wetlands. The
actual jurisdictional areas are mostly bank to bank. Higher value
wetlands exist on the site, but these areas are not impacted by the
project, in fact they are buffered by at least several hundred feet
in most cases.
Stream name: U.T. to Knap of Reeds Creek, Neuse Basin
Stream Class: WS-IV NSW ?C-40' u'00 WJt, -Ik J
Stream Index No.: 27-4-(6)
River Basin and subbasin No.: 03 04
Recommendations: Issue 401. The project consultant has adequately
identified the better wetlands and avoided them. Those to be
impacted are low value. The impact total consists of fill for about
50% of the total, and simple clearing for the remainder. The
clearing limits are a federal requirement to have site distance a
minimum of three hundred feet from the perimeter of the compound.
Mr. John Ross, consultant for the applicant, has talker with Ron
Ferrell concerning stormwater control. There is adequate filtering
area between stormwater discharge sites and surface waters. As this
is not HQW, the project can go up to 24% built upon area. The
certification should reference this requirement, and applicable
controls be required for the first inch of rain if 24 to 70 percent
impervious area results.

JURISDICTIONAL WETLAND DETERMINATION
ADDENDUM - BUTNER, N.C.
I. Introduction
The U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons proposes to expand the
existing Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Butner, North Carolina and
develop a Federal Correctional Complex (Figure 1). The site, located along the
Durham-Granville County line, is approximately 776 acres in size and has been
divided into five study compartments for analysis purposes (Figure 2). Excluding
the existing FCI and a newly opened Federal Prison Camp, approximately 626 acres
of undeveloped land remain.
An extensive field delineation was conducted during August 1990 by Louis Berger
& Associates (LBA) to identify jurisdictional waters of the United States within
Compartments A, B and C. The wetlands delineated during August 1990 have
received a jurisdictional determination from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
i (ACOE) and are described in the Jurisdictional Wetland Determination Report of
¦ February 1991. A copy of the February 20, 1991 jurisdictional determination
approval letter from the ACOE is provided in Appendix D. However, as proposed
design plans developed and additional impact areas within Compartments D and E
were identified, two subsequent phases of wetland delineation studies were
performed. The first phase of delineations was conducted in May 1991. The
jurisdictional areas delineated during May 1991 were field verified by Mr. Ken
Jolly of the ACOE (5/20/92). The second phase of delineations took place in
February 1992, when most of the remaining portion of Compartment E was delineated
for jurisdictional areas. The delineation of these areas was field verified
(2/27/92) by Mr. Eric Alsmeyer of the ACOE. In August 1992, LBA submitted to the
ACOE a Jurisdictional Wetland Determination Addendum Report that described the
jurisdictional areas delineated during these latter two delineation phases. The
ACOE jurisdictional determination approval letter of October 5, 1992 for these
two phases is provided in Appendix D.
This October 1992 Jurisdictional Wetland Determination Addendum Report presents
a compilation of all wetland delineation boundaries and ACOE approvals for the
Butner, North Carolina Federal Correctional Complex project area including a
wetland boundary survey map (Figure 4, Back Pocket) certified by the ACOE.
i II. Methodology
A. Applicable Regulations
The wetlands delineated during August 1990 and May 1991 were delineated based on
the Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands
' (Federal Interagency Committee for Wetland Delineation, 1989). This methodology
requires three technical criteria be present for an area to be considered a
jurisdictional wetland. These three criteria are hydrophytic vegetation, hydric
soils and appropriate hydrology. The wetlands delineated during February 1992
were delineated in accordance with the ACOE 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual, as
per the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-
104 -August 17, 1991). The Act specifies that in cases of on-going permit
applications involving areas delineated as waters of the United States under the

1989 Manual, and which were not yet completed by the date of enactment of this
Act, the permit applicant has the option to elect a new delineation under the
Corps 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual or to complete the permit process under the
1989 Manual, unless the ACOE has determined that the delineation would be
substantially the same under either the 1987 or the 1989 Manual. Therefore, on
July 30, 1992, Mr. Eric Alsmeyer of the ACOE conducted a field visit of the site
and verified that the May 1991 delineation originally completed based on the 1989
Manual, was substantially the same under the 1987 Manual.
"Waters of the United States" are defined as "wetlands and tributaries to
navigable waters of the U.S. and other waters where the degradation or
destruction of which could affect interstate or foreign commerce (USACOE, 1985)."
Wetlands, as a subset of waters of the United States, must possess hydrophytic
vegetation, hydric soils and appropriate hydrology in order to be regulated by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
These criteria are mandatory and must be satisfied for an area to be considered
a jurisdictional wetland.

Prior to the initiation of field work several secondary data sources were
reviewed. These sources included the Lake Michie U.S. Geological Survey
Topographic Map, National Wetlands Inventory Map and aerial photographs of the
site. Soils information and maps provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
Soil Conservation Service (SCS) were used to identify waterbodies and the
presence of hydric soils. Figure 3 is a compilation of streams and waterbodies
identified through these sources as well as a preliminary field visit.
All waters of the United States, including wetlands, were delineated in the
field. The flags marking the boundaries of these areas were labelled with a
letter and sequential number designation. Approximately 103 flags were used for
the areas delineated during May 1991. Approximately 400 flags were used for the
areas delineated during February 1992. The boundary flags were then surveyed and
plotted to provide an accurate mapping of the boundary in relation to known
points (Figure 4). Figure 4 depicts the surveyed wetland boundary for all
wetlands in the 776-acre project area as verified by the ACOE.
Five data forms for the Routine Onsite Determination Method were completed for
the wetland areas delineated as well as adjacent upland areas. These forms
document the vegetation, soil and hydrologic characteristics specific to each
area (Appendix A). Soils were investigated with a hand auger or shovel to a depth
of at least 18 inches. The locations of the soil borings have been mapped in
Figure 4.
As indicated on Figure 4, the jurisdictional determination is valid for a period
of three years from the date it was signed.

III. Soils
The following paragraphs provide information on some of the properties of the
soils within the project area. The soils found within the project area are listed
in Table 1. Figure 5 depicts soil series of the project area as mapped by the
SCS. The soils series listed on the individual Routine Onsite Determination Data
Forms are based on the soil boring location within the mapping units determined
by the SCS.
Because the project area is located within two counties, both the Granville
County Soil Conservation Service (SCS) and the Durham County SCS provided
information of the soils of the project area. Granville County is still in the
process of developing a Soil Survey; therefore, soils information for this county
is considered advance copy and subject to change. Information on each of the
soil types shown in Granville County is based on the Soil Interpretations Records
for the county. The mapping of the soils of the project area within Durham County
and the associated soil characteristics have been extracted from the published
"Soil Survey of Durham County" (USDA, SCS undated).
Soils of the Nason series are generally deep, well drained soils found on
uplands. The Nason series formed in material weathered from schist (a rock which
generally splits into parallel layers). Representing the Nason gravelly loam 10
to 25 percent slopes mapping units, 20D and 20E are shown within the project area
in Figure 5. However, these two mapping units have since been combined by the SCS
., and are considered as 20E. Nason gravelly loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes, (20B) also
occurs within the project area. Characteristics of mapping units 20E and 20B
include a frequency of flooding listed as none, a depth to the high water table
greater than 6 feet, and the depth to bedrock is between 40 and 60 inches.
Generally, the severe slope and erosion of these mapping units is the main
limitation for site development.
The Wehadkee series consists of poorly drained, nearly level soils on
floodplains. These soils formed in fine loamy alluvium washed from soils on
uplands. The Wehadkee series is included on the list of "Hydric Soils for North
Carolina" (USDA, SCS 1989). Hydric soils are defined as soils that are saturated,
flooded or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic
conditions. Wehadkee soils are frequently flooded for-brief periods from
November to June. The high water table is apparent and the depth to the high
water table generally ranges from 0 to 2.5 feet from December to May. The depth
to bedrock is greater than 5 feet. The main limitations for site development are
wetness and flooding of this soil series.
The Ch mapping unit, Chewacla and Wehadkee soils, includes approximately 60
percent Chewacla and 35 percent Wehadkee soils which occur in such close
association that it is not practical to map them separately. The remainder of
this mapping unit consists of small areas of similar soils, including Congaree
and Roanoke soils. Roanoke is also on the list of "Hydric Soils of North
Carolina" (USDA, SCS 1989). Generally, these soils are somewhat poorly drained
and poorly drained soils on floodplains. The Chewacla and Wehadkee soils occur
as long, level areas parallel to major streams and rivers. The Chewacla soil is
generally better drained than the Wehadkee soil and is often found at higher
elevations than the Wehadkee.

The Chewacla and Wehadkee soil mapping unit has characteristics representative
of their respective series. Wehadkee soils are described in the previous
paragraphs. The Chewacla soils flood very frequently for very brief periods. The
depth to the high water table is listed as 1.5 feet. The depth to bedrock is 5
feet. The major limitations of the Chewacla and Wehadkee soils are flooding and
wetness.
Although the Chewacla soil series is not listed as hydric, according to SCS soil
taxonomy, the Chewacla series belongs to an aquic subgroup which is associated
with stream corridors and floodplains. Soils of aquic subgroups are
a moisture regime which includes saturation to the soil surface subject to
during the
growing season. This saturation is attributable to a high water table . If during
field investigations Chewacla soils are observed to have a water table at an
elevation of less than 0.5 feet during the growing season, the soil would meet
the criteria for definition as hydric. Areas within the project site would be
classified as wetland where appropriate vegetation is observed over such soils.
Soils of the Georgeville series within the project area are shown as mapping
units 205B, 205C and GeC. These three mapping units all represent Georgeville
silt loam differentiated by slope, i.e., 205B represents slopes of 2 to 6 percent
and 205C and GeC represent slopes of 6 to 10 percent. The Georgeville series
consists of well drained soils on uplands. This soil formed in residuum from
phyllite, otherwise known as Carolina slate. The frequency of flooding for the
Georgeville series is listed as none and the depth to the high water table is
greater than 6 feet. The depth to bedrock is greater than 5 feet. Generally,
erosion and slope are the main concerns in management of the Georgeville soils.
The Herndon series consists of well drained, moderately permeable soils on
uplands. Like the Georgeville series, the Herndon series developed in residuum
from phyllite. The Herndon mapping units within the project area are 212B,
representing 2 to 6 percent slopes, and HrC, representing 6 to 10 percent slopes.
The depth to the high water table is greater than 6 feet. A flood hazard does not
exist for these soils. The depth to bedrock is greater than 5 feet. The major
limitation of Herndon soils is the erosion hazard resulting from runoff and
slope.
The Tatum series consists of deep, well drained soils on uplands. These soils
formed in material weathered from schist. The frequency of flooding is
categorized as none. The depth to the high water table is greater than 6 feet.
The depth to bedrock is between 40 and 60 inches. The major limitation to site
development on this soil type is the severe slope.
t Mayodan sandy loam, mapping units 306B and 306C, of the Mayodan series consists
of gently sloping to moderately steep, well drained soils on uplands. A flood
hazard does not exist and the depth to the high water table is greater than 6
feet. The depth to bedrock is greater than 5 feet. Erosion from runoff is the
main limitation of this soil type.
The Creedmoor series consists of moderately well or somewhat poorly drained soils
on nearly level to sloping uplands. Creedmoor loamy sand, 6 to 10 percent slopes
(530C and CrC) is the mapping unit of the Creedmoor series within the project
area. The frequency of flooding is listed as none. This soil type generally has
9

i

i
i
a perched water table from January to March, with the depth to the high water
table ranging from 1.5 to 2.0 feet. The depth to bedrock is greater than 5 feet.
Limitations for building site development of this soil type include wetness, its
shrink-swell potential, erosion and slope.
The Goldston series consists of strongly sloping to steep, well drained to
excessively drained soils on uplands. These soils formed in residuum from fine-
grained, acidic, slaty rock. The Goldston slaty silt loam, 10 to 25 percent
slopes (G1E) is generally found on side slopes adjacent to major drainageways on
uplands. The depth to the high water table is greater than 6 feet and a flood
hazard does not exist. The depth to bedrock is greater than 2 feet. The depth to
bedrock, slope, erosion resulting from runoff and the presence of a slaty surface
layer are the major concerns in management of this soil type..
The Pinkston series consists of gently sloping to moderately steep, well drained
or excessively drained soils on uplands. These soils formed in residuum from
Triassic Sandstone. The Pinkston fine sandy loam, 2 to 10 percent slopes (PfC)
is generally found on broad ridges and narrow side slopes on uplands. Included
in this mapping unit are areas where the surface layer is coarse sandy loam and
a few areas of Mayodan and White Store soils. There is no flood hazard for
Pinkston series and the depth to the high water table is greater than 6 feet. The
depth to bedrock is greater than 2.5 feet. The depth to bedrock, slope and
erosion resulting from runoff are the major limitations for management of this
soil series.
The mapping units Ud and Ur designate urban land, i.e., land which has been cut,
filled, graded or otherwise changed to the extent that the original soil
characteristics have been altered or destroyed. These mapping units also include
areas covered by buildings or pavement. Areas designated as Ur or Ud do not have
assigned characteristics or properties.
The White Store series consists of nearly level to moderately steep, moderately
well drained soils on uplands. These soils formed in material weathered from
Triassic Mudstone. Three mapping units of the White Store series are found within
the project area. These are WsB, WsC and WsE, representing White Store sandy loam
of 2 to 6, 6 to 10, and 10 to 25 percent slopes, respectively. There is no flood
hazard for the White Store series, the depth to the seasonal high water table is
greater than 1.5 feet. The depth to bedrock is greater than 4 feet. The major
concerns in management of this soil type include erosion resulting from runoff,
high shrink-swell potential, very slow permeability and slope for WsC and WsE.

As shown in Figure 3, the project area contains several perennial streams each
with numerous intermittent tributaries. These areas are considered to be above
the head waters (personal communication, K. Jolly). The perennial streams have
been given a numerical designation for description purposes. It should be noted
that Figure 3 provides only a general location for some of the areas delineated
by LBA as waters of the United States. The wetland boundary survey map (Figure
4) provides accurate locations of all areas delineated by LBA.
As described in the Introduction of this report, Project Area Compartments A, B
and C were investigated during the initial delineation. These compartments
included Streams 5, 6 and the west side of Stream 4, as well as tributaries to
these streams. During the two additional delineations, all of Streams 1 and 2
and the parts of Stream 3 within the proposed impact areas of Compartments D and
E were flagged.
Stream 3 drains the eastern portion of the project area including parts of
Compartments D and E. The stream was observed to be approximately ten feet wide
with defined banks vegetated primarily with hardwoods. Numerous tributaries flow
into Stream 3. Tributaries generally were observed to be narrow defined
channels. In addition to the stream channels, a wetland was delineated in a
relatively level area located where Stream 3 approaches SR 1004. Surface ponding
and low chroma soil profiles with mottling were observed in this area.
Additional soil profiles observed in this area were indicative of alluvial
deposits from stream floodwaters.
Streams 1 and 2 are relatively small headwater tributaries which drain the
southeast corner of the project area in Compartment E. Channels of these streams
were well defined and about four feet wide. Drainage crosses SR 1004 via 1.5-
foot diameter culverts. Streams 1 and 2 belong to the Knap of Reeds Creek
subwatershed.

Dear Mr. Ratliff:
Reference is made to the survey plat (enclosed) signed and dated August
11, 1992, for the eastern portion of the Federal Bureau of Prisons site on
S.R. 1004 near Butner, Durham and Granville Counties, North Carolina. The
site is adjacent to unnamed tributaries of Knap of Reeds Creek. The survey
plat, which was an enclosure to the Jurisdictional Wetland Determination
AddIendum, dated August 1992, prepared by lnuuis Berger & Associates, Inc.,
accurately reflects the limits of wetlands and waters on this portion of the
property, based on the 1987 Carps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual.
Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination of the limits of wetlands may be relied upon for a period not to
exceed three years from August 11, 1992.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, prior Department of the
Army approval is required for the discharge of dredged or fill material in
waters of the United States, including wetlands. Conversely, Federal permits
are not required for ground-disturbing activities restricted to high ground.

ITEM 14:
Development of the proposed facilities impacts a total of 4.71 acres of the Federal Bureau of
Prison's property.
Within the site selection process for the proposed facilities, a series of site analyses were
conducted. These analyses included vegetation, slope, utility and elevation parameters as well as
existing infrastructure data. The result of the analysis process was the selection of seven buildable
areas (see attached maps).
Based on design criteria as set forth by the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons,
minimum horizontal dimensions for the proposed facilities were established. Given a constant
finished floor elevation for the Federal Medical Center (FMC), the lower portion of Buildable Area
No. 1 was selected as it provided the required area with the smallest amount of topographic relief.
Buildable Area No. 6 was selected for the proposed Federal Correction's Institute (FCI) because it
was the only remaining site that provided the required buildable area. In addition, the proposed
FCI is to share common support facilities with the existing FCI. Buildable Area No. 5, with it's
close proximity and elevation to the existing and proposed FCI site, was selected to house the
support facilities. The Staff Training Center needed to be remote from the other facilities, but still
utilize existing infrastructure. For this reason, Buildable Area No. 7 was selected.
The impact of wetlands in the development process was minimized in the construction documents
to the greatest extent possible. Care was taken to provide perpendicular crossings of roads and
drives where possible. In addition, vertical control was established to minimize toe slopes
extending into wetland areas. it should be noted that clearing beyond the patrol roads of the FMC
and FCI sites includes 150' of total clearing, bounded by 150' of select clearing. The select
clearing shall include hand clearing of underbrush and limbing trees to remain (6" and larger) to a
height of 12'. While the impact to wetlands in select clear areas still exists, the impact is not as
severe as within the total cleared areas.
In summary, all feasible measures to minimize the disturbance of wetland areas were incorporated
into the project design. The wetlands that are impacted are a result of minimum FBOP standards
and the expanse of wetland fingers on the property.

JURISDICTIONAL WETLAND DETERMINATION
ADDENDUM - BUTNER, N.C.
I. Introduction
The U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons proposes to expand the
existing Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Butner, North Carolina and
develop a Federal Correctional Complex (Figure 1). The site, located along the
Durham-Granville County line, is approximately 776 acres in size and has been
divided into five study compartments for analysis purposes (Figure 2). Excluding
the existing FCI and a newly opened Federal Prison Camp, approximately 626 acres
of undeveloped land remain.
An extensive field delineation was conducted during August 1990 by Louis Berger
& Associates (LBA) to identify jurisdictional waters of the United States within
Compartments A, B and C. The wetlands delineated during August 1990 have
received a jurisdictional determination from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(ACOE) and are described in the Jurisdictional Wetland Determination Report of
February 1991. A copy of the February 20, 1991 jurisdictional determination
approval letter from the ACOE is provided in Appendix D. However, as proposed
design plans developed and additional impact areas within Compartments D and E
were identified, two subsequent phases of wetland delineation studies were
performed. The first phase of delineations was conducted in May 1991. The
jurisdictional areas delineated during May 1991 were field verified by Mr. Ken
Jolly of the ACOE (5/20/92). The second phase of delineations took place in
February 1992, when most of the remaining portion of Compartment E was delineated
for jurisdictional areas. The delineation of these areas was field verified
(2/27/92) by Mr. Eric Alsmeyer of the ACOE. In August 1992, LBA submitted to the
ACOE a Jurisdictional Wetland Determination Addendum Report that described the
jurisdictional areas delineated during these latter two delineation phases. The
ACOE jurisdictional determination approval letter of October 5, 1992 for these
two phases is provided in Appendix D.
This October 1992 Jurisdictional Wetland Determination Addendum Report presents
a compilation of all wetland delineation boundaries and ACOE approvals for the
Butner, North Carolina Federal Correctional Complex project area including a
wetland boundary survey map (Figure 4, Back Pocket) certified by the ACOE.
i II. Methodology
A. Applicable Regulations
The wetlands delineated during August 1990 and May 1991 were delineated based on
the Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands
(Federal Interagency Committee for Wetland Delineation, 1989). This methodology
requires three technical criteria be present for an area to be considered a
jurisdictional wetland. These three criteria are hydrophytic vegetation, hydric
r soils and appropriate hydrology. The wetlands delineated during February 1992
were delineated in accordance with the ACOE 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual, as
per the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-
104 -August 17, 1991). The Act specifies that in cases of on-going permit
applications involving areas delineated as waters of the United States under the

1989 Manual, and which were not yet completed by the date of enactment of this
Act, the permit applicant has the option to elect a new delineation under the
Corps 1987 Wetl and Del i neati on Manual or to compl ete the permi t process under the
1989 Manual, unless the ACOE has determined that the delineation would be
substantially the same under either the 1987 or the 1989 Manual. Therefore, on
July 30, 1992, Mr. Eric Alsmeyer of the ACOE conducted a field visit of the site
and verified that the May 1991 delineation originally completed based on the 1989
Manual, was substantially the same under the 1987 Manual.
"Waters of the United States" are defined as "wetlands and tributaries to
navigable waters of the U.S. and other waters where the degradation or
destruction of which could affect interstate or foreign commerce (USACOE, 1985)."
Wetlands, as a subset of waters of the United States, must possess hydrophytic
vegetation, hydric soils and appropriate hydrology in order to be regulated by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
These criteria are mandatory and must be satisfied for an area to be considered
a jurisdictional wetland.

Prior to the initiation of field work several secondary data sources were
reviewed. These sources included the Lake Michie U.S. Geological Survey
Topographic Map, National Wetlands Inventory Map and aerial photographs of the
site. Soils information and maps provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
Soil Conservation Service (SCS) were used to identify waterbodies and the
presence of hydric soils. Figure 3 is a compilation of streams and waterbodies
identified through these sources as well as a preliminary field visit.
All waters of the United States, including wetlands, were delineated in the
field. The flags marking the boundaries of these areas were labelled with a
letter and sequential number designation. Approximately 103 flags were used for
the areas delineated during May 1991. Approximately 400 flags were used for the
areas delineated during February 1992. The boundary flags were then surveyed and
plotted to provide an accurate mapping of the boundary in relation to known
points (Figure 4). Figure 4 depicts the surveyed wetland boundary for all
wetlands in the 776-acre project area as verified by the ACOE.
Five data forms for the Routine Onsite Determination Method were completed for
the wetland areas delineated as well as adjacent upland areas. These forms
document the vegetation, soil and hydrologic characteristics specific to each
area (Appendix A). Soils were investigated with a hand auger or shovel to a depth
of at least 18 inches. The locations of the soil borings have been mapped in
Figure 4.
As indicated on Figure 4, the jurisdictional determination is valid for a period
of three years from the date it was signed.

III. Soils
The following paragraphs provide information on some of the properties of the
soils within the project area. The soils found within the project area are listed
in Table 1. Figure 5 depicts soil series of the project area as mapped by the
SCS. The soils series listed on the individual Routine Onsite Determination Data
Forms are based on the soil boring location within the mapping units determined
by the SCS.
Because the project area is located within two counties, both the Granville
County Soil Conservation Service (SCS) and the Durham County SCS provided
information of the soils of the project area. Granville County is still in the
process of developing a Soil Survey; therefore, soils information for this county
is considered advance copy and subject to change. Information on each of the
soil types shown in Granville County is based on the Soil Interpretations Records
for the county. The mapping of the soils of the project area within Durham County
and the associated soil characteristics have been extracted from the published
"Soil Survey of Durham County" (USDA, SCS undated).
Soils of the Nason series are generally deep, well drained soils found on
uplands. The Nason series formed in material weathered from schist (a rock which
generally splits into parallel layers). Representing the Nason gravelly loam 10
to 25 percent slopes mapping units, 20D and 20E are shown within the project area
in Figure 5. However, these two mapping units have since been combined by the SCS
and are considered as 20E. Nason gravelly loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes, (20B) also
occurs within the project area. Characteristics of mapping units 20E and 20B
include a frequency of flooding listed as none, a depth to the high water table
greater than 6 feet, and the depth to bedrock is between 40 and 60 inches.
Generally, the severe slope and erosion of these mapping units is the main
limitation for site development.
The Wehadkee series consists of poorly drained, nearly level soils on
floodplains. These soils formed in fine loamy alluvium washed from soils on
uplands. The Wehadkee series is included on the list of "Hydric Soils for North
Carolina" (USDA, SCS 1989). Hydric soils are defined as soils that are saturated,
flooded or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic
conditions. Wehadkee soils are frequently flooded for-brief periods from
November to June. The high water table is apparent and the depth to the high
water table generally ranges from 0 to 2.5 feet from December to May. The depth
to bedrock is greater than 5 feet. The main limitations for site development are
wetness and flooding of this soil series.
The Ch mapping unit, Chewacla and Wehadkee soils, includes approximately 60
percent Chewacla and 35 percent Wehadkee soils which occur in such close
association that it is not practical to map them separately. The remainder of
this mapping unit consists of small areas of similar soils, including Congaree
and Roanoke soils. Roanoke is also on the list of "Hydric Soils of North
Carolina" (USDA, SCS 1989). Generally, these soils are somewhat poorly drained
and poorly drained soils on floodplains. The Chewacla and Wehadkee soils occur
as long, level areas parallel to major streams and rivers. The Chewacla soil is
generally better drained than the Wehadkee soil and is often found at higher
elevations than the Wehadkee.

The Chewacla and Wehadkee soil mapping unit has characteristics representative
of their respective series. Wehadkee soils are described in the previous
paragraphs. The Chewacla soils flood very frequently for very brief periods. The
depth to the high water table is listed as 1.5 feet. The depth to bedrock is 5
feet. The major limitations of the Chewacla and Wehadkee soils are flooding and
wetness.

Although the Chewacla soil series is not listed as hydric, according to SCS soil
taxonomy, the Chewacla series belongs to an aquic subgroup which is associated
with stream corridors and floodplains. Soils of aquic subgroups are subject to
a moisture regime which includes saturation to the soil surface during the
growing season. This saturation is attributable to a high water table. If during
field investigations Chewacla soils are observed to have a water table at an
elevation of less than 0.5 feet during the growing season, the soil would meet
the criteria for definition as hydric. Areas within the project site would be
classified as wetland where appropriate vegetation is observed over such soils.
Soils of the Georgeville series within the project area are shown as mapping
units 205B, 205C and GeC. These three mapping units all represent Georgeville
silt loam differentiated by slope, i.e., 205B represents slopes of 2 to 6 percent
and 205C and GeC represent slopes of 6 to 10 percent. The Georgeville series
consists of well drained soils on uplands. This soil formed in residuum from
phyllite, otherwise known as Carolina slate. The frequency of flooding for the
Georgeville series is listed as none and the depth to the high water table is
greater than 6 feet. The depth to bedrock is greater than 5 feet. Generally,
erosion and slope are the main concerns in management of the Georgeville soils.
The Herndon series consists of well drained, moderately permeable soils on
uplands. Like the Georgeville series, the Herndon series developed in residuum
from phyllite. The Herndon mapping units within the project area are 212B,
representing 2 to 6 percent slopes, and HrC, representing 6 to 10 percent slopes.
The depth to the high water table is greater than 6 feet. A flood hazard does not
exist for these soils. The depth to bedrock is greater than 5 feet. The major
limitation of Herndon soils is the erosion hazard resulting from runoff and
slope.
The Tatum series consists of deep, well drained soils on uplands. These soils
formed in material weathered from schist. The frequency of flooding is
categorized as none. The depth to the high water table is greater than 6 feet.
The depth to bedrock is between 40 and 60 inches. The major limitation to site
development on this soil type is the severe slope.
Mayodan sandy loam, mapping units 306B and 306C, of the Mayodan series consists
of gently sloping to moderately steep, well drained soils on uplands. A flood
hazard does not exist and the depth to the high water table is greater than 6
feet. The depth to bedrock is greater than 5 feet. Erosion from runoff is the
main limitation of this soil type.
The Creedmoor series consists of moderately well or somewhat poorly drained soils
on nearly level to sloping uplands. Creedmoor loamy sand., 6 to 10 percent slopes
(530C and CrC) is the mapping unit of the Creedmoor series within the project
area. The frequency of flooding is listed as none. This soil type generally has
9
i

i
i
i
i
a perched water table from January to March, with the depth to the high water
table ranging from 1.5 to 2.0 feet. The depth to bedrock is greater than 5 feet.
Limitations for building site development of this soil type include wetness, its
shrink-swell potential, erosion and slope.
The Goldston series consists of strongly sloping to steep, well drained to
excessively drained soils on uplands. These soils formed in residuum from fine-
grained, acidic, slaty rock. The Goldston slaty silt loam, 10 to 25 percent
slopes (G1E) is generally found on side slopes adjacent to major drainageways on
uplands. The depth to the high water table is greater than 6 feet and a flood
hazard does not exist. The depth to bedrock is greater than 2 feet. The depth to
bedrock, slope, erosion resulting from runoff and the presence of a slaty surface
layer are the major concerns in management of this soil type.
The Pinkston series consists of gently sloping to moderately steep, well drained
or excessively drained soils on uplands. These soils formed in residuum from
Triassic Sandstone. The Pinkston fine sandy loam, 2 to 10 percent slopes (PfC)
is generally found on broad ridges and narrow side slopes on uplands. Included
in this mapping unit are areas where the surface layer is coarse sandy loam and
a few areas of Mayodan and White Store soils. There is no flood hazard for
Pinkston series and the depth to the high water table is greater than 6 feet. The
depth to bedrock is greater than 2.5 feet. The depth to bedrock, slope and
erosion resulting from runoff are the major limitations for management of this
soil series.
The mapping units Ud and Ur designate urban land, i.e., land which has been cut,
filled, graded or otherwise changed to the extent that the original soil
characteristics have been altered or destroyed. These mapping units also include
areas covered by buildings or pavement. Areas designated as Ur or Ud do not have
assigned characteristics or properties.
The White Store series consists of nearly level to moderately steep, moderately
well drained soils on uplands. These soils formed in material weathered from
Triassic Mudstone. Three mapping units of the White Store series are found within
the project area. These are WsB, WsC and WsE, representing White Store sandy loam
of 2 to 6, 6 to 10, and 10 to 25 percent slopes, respectively. There is no flood
hazard for the White Store series, the depth to the seasonal high water table is
greater than 1.5 feet. The depth to bedrock is greater than 4 feet. The major
concerns in management of this soil type include erosion resulting from runoff,
high shrink-swell potential, very slow permeability and slope for WsC and WsE.

As shown in Figure 3, the project area contains several perennial streams each
with numerous intermittent tributaries. These areas are considered to be above
the head waters (personal communication, K. Jolly). The perennial streams have
been given a numerical designation for description purposes. It should be noted
that Figure 3 provides only a general location for some of the areas delineated
by LBA as waters of the United States. The wetland boundary survey map (Figure
4) provides accurate locations of all areas delineated by LBA.
As described in the Introduction of this report, Project Area Compartments A, B
and C were investigated during the initial delineation. These compartments
included Streams 5, 6 and the west side of Stream 4, as well as tributaries to
these streams. During the two additional delineations, all of Streams 1 and 2
and the parts of Stream 3 within the proposed impact areas of Compartments D and
E were flagged.
Stream 3 drains the eastern portion of the project area including parts of
Compartments D and E. The stream was observed to be approximately ten feet wide
with defined banks vegetated primarily with hardwoods. Numerous tributaries flow
into Stream 3. Tributaries generally were observed to be narrow defined
channels. In addition to the stream channels, a wetland was delineated in a
relatively level area located where Stream 3 approaches SR 1004. Surface ponding
and low chroma soil profiles with mottling were observed in this area.
Additional soil profiles observed in this area were indicative of alluvial
deposits from stream floodwaters.
Streams 1 and 2 are relatively small headwater tributaries which drain the
southeast corner of the project area in Compartment E. Channels of these streams
were well defined and about four feet wide. Drainage crosses SR 1004 via 1.5-
foot diameter culverts. Streams 1 and 2 belong to the Knap of Reeds Creek
subwatershed.

Dear Mr. Ratliff:
Reference is made to the survey plat (enclosed) signed and dated August
11, 1992, for the eastern portion of the Federal Bureau of Prisons site on
S.R. 1004 near Butner, Durham and Granville Counties, North Carolina. The
site is adjacent to unnamed tributaries of Knap of Reeds Creek. The survey
plat, which was an enclosure to the Jurisdictional Wetland Determination
Addendum, dated August 1992, prepared by Louis Berger & Associates, Inc.,
accurately reflects the limits of wetlands and waters on this portion of the
property, based on the 1987 Carps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual.
Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination of the limits of wetlands may be relied upon for a period not to
exceed three years from August 11, 1992.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, prior Deft of the
Army approval is required for the discharge of dredged or fill material in
waters of the United States, including wetlands. Conversely, Federal permits
are not required for grand-disturbing activities restricted to high ground.
Final permit requirements will depend on the project design, area of
waters and/or wetlands filled, construction methods, etc. Accordingly,
completed plans should be furnished to the Regulatory Branch, when they become
available, for a final determination of specific Federal permit requirements.
If you have questions, please contact Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, Raleigh
Regulatory Field Office, at telephone [phone], extension 23.

ITEM 14:
Development of the proposed facilities impacts a total of 4.71 acres of the Federal Bureau of
Prison's property.
Within the site selection process for the proposed facilities, a series of site analyses were
conducted. These analyses included vegetation, slope, utility and elevation parameters as well as
existing infrastructure data. The result of the analysis process was the selection of seven buildable
areas (see attached maps).
Based on design criteria as set forth by the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons,
minimum horizontal dimensions for the proposed facilities were established. Given a constant
finished floor elevation for the Federal Medical Center (FMC), the lower portion of Buildable Area
No. 1 was selected as it provided the required area with the smallest amount of topographic relief.
Buildable Area No. 6 was selected for the proposed Federal Correction's Institute (FCI) because it
was the only remaining site that provided the required buildable area. In addition, the proposed
FCI is to share common support facilities with the existing FCI. Buildable Area No. 5, with it's
close proximity and elevation to the existing and proposed FCI site, was selected to house the
support facilities. The Staff Training Center needed to be remote from the other facilities, but still
utilize existing infrastructure. For this reason, Buildable Area No. 7 was selected.
The impact of wetlands in the development process was minimized in the construction documents
to the greatest extent possible. Care was taken to provide perpendicular crossings of roads and
drives where possible. In addition, vertical control was established to minimize toe slopes
extending into wetland areas. it should be noted that clearing beyond the patrol roads of the FMC
and FCI sites includes 150' of total clearing, bounded by 150' of select clearing. The select
clearing shall include hand clearing of underbrush and limbing trees to remain (6" and larger) to a
height of 12'. While the impact to wetlands in select clear areas still exists, the impact is not as
severe as within the total cleared areas.
In summary, all feasible measures to minimize the disturbance of wetland areas were incorporated
into the project design. The wetlands that are impacted are a result of minimum FBOP standards
and the expanse of wetland fingers on the property.
