WETLAND DELINEATION MAP
1 This illustration depicts the approximate units of jurisdictional waters of
the U.S. (wetlands, open waters, and streams) delineated (flagged) using
the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. Findings subject to
future change and revision.
2) jurisdictional wetland areas exhibit positive indicators of all three
required parameters (vegetation, soils, and hydrology).
3) Stream classifications are based on Identivication Methods for the Origins
of Intermittent and Perennial Streams Version 3.1 (NC Division of Water
Quality). Origin points are subject to change based on environmental
factors. Ephemeral drainages are typically not regulated but may be
captured as jurisdictional.
4) All findings are approximate until a juriscitional determination is
obtained from the US Army Corps of Engineers in accordance with
Wilmington District policy of July 2005.
5) jurisdictional wetland and stream locations are not final until platted by a
licensed land surveyor in accordance with Wilmington District policy of july
2005.
l 6) All dimensions, position locations, and boudaries, including GPS wetland
I and stream positions, are approximate and are not suitable for recordation.
i 7) In most cases permits are required to impact or disturb waters of the US.
Project proponent is liable for land disturbing activities on the site
undertaken prior to a final jurisdictional determination or permit issuance.

draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): dam/embankment
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): fishing, recreation, aesthetic
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: agricultural
Size of watershed draining to pond: 12.5 acres Expected pond surface area: 0.5 acres
V11. 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 original plan has been
modified in order to avoid and minimize impacts. The dam has been situated on existing
underground sections of channel which will reduce the hard impact of the dam by 20' (from 70'
to 50'). Also the originally requested 125' culvert below the dam has been removed from the
plan. These measures will eliminate 145' of permanent impact.
V211. 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
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Page 5 of 8
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
http://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.
No mitigation is proposeddue to the minimal loss of low quality waters.
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:

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the?same ecoregion. Assign points to
each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics
identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot
be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where
there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may'
be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned
to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.
