Hunt, Jr., Governor 91 i t A?? Wayne McDevitt, Secretary H N A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director ID F=1 September 3, 1997 Wake County DWQ Project # 970654 APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS Mr. Bob Barker Bob Barker Co., Inc. 118 E. Jones Street Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526 Dear Mr. Barker. You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to pldc`et material in an additional 0.587 (total of 0.987 acres) acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing a warehouse at Caliber Logistics Facility, as you described in your application dated 22 July 1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3108. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 26 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below. Deed restrictions, conservation easements or similar mechanisms shall be placed in all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters to restrict future wetland and/or water impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). An additional condition is that a final, written stormwater plan including a wet detention basin must be approved by DWQ before wetland (or stream) impacts occur. This pond shall also treat the existing runoff entering the wetland since this filtration is the existing use which must be maintained. The pond or stormwater shall discharge into the remaining wetland on site to maintain its uses. If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing. This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

Commercial NW-26 Wake County The subject wetlands is a common first order Sandhills stream, where the creek channel and the area immediately adjacent is densely vegetated. This isAdue to the dramatic change of moisture and organic matter content of the soils which results in a clear demarcation of the vegetation (ecotone). (yes there are Sandhills communities/geomorphology in Wake County). Arundinaria gigantea, Liriodendron tulipifera, Acer rubrum, Woodwarida areolata, Sphagnum , L. racemosa, were prominent. With respect to my understanding of the Division current stream policy the RRO will not recommend stream mitigation for this site. This office recommends issuance of this Certification with the following stipulations: -Mr. Mark Davis proposes to treat all on site stormwater in a stormwater pond which is designed to the Stormwater Group's guidelines. Further, all of the out-falls (both off site and on site stormwater) to the streams are proposed outside of the wetland areas with dissipators. Please consider putting this information as conditions of the 401 Certification. -Please consider -off site stormwater is being routed around the stormwater pond.

(LAW) is pleased to submit this report concerning the jurisdictional waters/wetlands delineation on an estimated 50-acre site located in Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, North Carolina. This report documents the methodology used to assess approximate jurisdictional boundaries, the results of our studies and our conclusions concerning the permitting requirements under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (13 U.S.C.1344). WATERS OF THE U.S./WETLANDS DELINEATION AND FINDINGS Background and Methodology t % LAW was contracted to conduct an approximate delineation of the jurisdictional boundaries of wetlands and waters of the U.S. on the estimated 50-acre Bob Barker site located southeast of Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. The site is bordered to the west by North Carolina Secondary Road (S.R.) 1301 (Purfoy Road), and on the north, east, and south by neighboring property owners (Drawing l.l). No other areas besides those described above are subject to the Scope-of-Serv ices, including delineation and reporting. Jurisdictional wetlands are defined by 33 CFR Part 328.3(b) and are protected by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344), which is administered and enforced in North Carolina by the U.S. Army Corps of 3301 ATLANTIC AVENUE - RALEIGH, NC 27604 R 0.

Jurisdictional wetlands are defined in the field as areas that have positive evidence of the following three environmental parameters: • Hydrophytic vegetation • Hydric soils • Wetland hydrology Wetlands on the subject property were determined using the Routine On-Site Determination Method as defined in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. The wetland delineation was conducted on October 30, 1996, by Mr. Wayne Wilkinson, Senior Environmental Geologist, and Mr. Martin Korenek, Staff Ecologist. Observations of the soil, vegetation, and hydrology were made on the study area in order to make appropriate wetland/upland delineations. Potential wetland boundaries were estimated over the site (Drawing 1.2). The wetland boundaries are subject to change following verification by the USACE, if required. The drawings of these approximate wetland boundaries are intended for preliminary planning purposes only. I Findings Jurisdictional areas observed on the subject site consist of jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands. The northern, eastern and southern boundaries of the site had been surveyed, and the western boundary of the site parallels Purfoy Road. The wetland delineation was performed over the entire site (Drawing 1.2). The wetland areas were identified with a letter designation in order of occurrence on the site from the south to the north (Drawing 1.2). Six wetland determination data points were also taken from various locations across the site (Drawing 1.2). The northwestern and northern-central portion of the site consisted of agricultural fields, while the northern and eastern portions of the site consisted of forested land which sloped generally eastward toward two ponds, a fallow, agricultural field, and a swamp. The central portion of the site consisted of forested land, which drained much of the site from west to east toward a second swamp. The southern portion of the site consisted of forested land, which was drained northeastward toward the second swamp. The northeastern, central and southeastern areas of the site have small, intermittent streams in which runoff water flows r Environmental Laboratory. 1987. Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Washington, D.C. pp. 100 and Appendices Bob Barker Definealion November 1, 1996 LAW Project No. 30 741-6-1 786 Page 3 generally eastward toward the swamps (Drawing 1.2). The central portion of the site also receives runoff water from the adjacent property located west of Purfoy Road by means of a culvert, which is located beneath Purfoy Road. Jurisdictional areas in the northeast, southeast and central areas of the site include the intermittent streams and the forested alluvial wetland areas associated with the streams (Drawing 1.2). r The northern, southern and central wetland areas continue generally eastward along the three unnamed intermittent streams to where they flow into the swamps. One swamp is located in the northeast corner of the subject site, at the junction of the northern and eastern site boundaries. The second swamp is located several hundred feet south of the first swamp, on the eastern boundary of the site. The topographic map indicates that the two swamps flow towards an unnamed pond located approximately 700 feet east of the subject site. The swamps are considered jurisdictional and are subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344) rules and regulations. The wetland sections north, west and south of the swamps include forested alluvial wetland areas on each side of, and adjacent to, the streams. There are two ponds also located in the northern/central section of the site, both of which initially drain eastward, and then also southeastward, ' towards both swamps (Drawing 1.2). r The U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Wake County Soil Survey indicates that upland and hydric soils are found on the subject site, with hydric soils limited to the floodplains of streams I and other areas in which frequent wetness and surface ponding are prevalent. Soils observed on the site ranged from upland soils to State-listed hydric soils. The upland soils were observed to be located on the ' higher portions of the site and the hydric soils were observed in the lower-lying, drainage areas of the site. The wetland areas identified on the site have hydric soils that appear to be either flooded, or saturated at or near the surface for long periods during the growing season. The 1995 Fuquay-Varina National Wetlands Inventory map indicates that the northernmost swamp is an area which is permanently flooded and is mapped as wetlands. The total area of jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on the Barker site is field estimated to be approximately seven acres, much of which is linear, crossing the site generally from west to east in the northern, central and southern portions of the site (Drawing 1.2). Regulatory Considerations/Development Implications Depending on the type and extent of waters to be impacted, wetland permitting requirements can range from activities that are considered exempt or preauthorized, to those requiring pre-discharge notification (PDN) for a Nationwide Permit (NWP) or requiring a Section 404 Individual Permit from the USACE. Wetland permitting requirements are generally based on the acreage of impact; however, adjacent streams that directly influence the wetlands in question are also considered. Bob Barker Delineation November 1, 1996 LAW Project No. 30741-6-1786 Page 4 Activity involving the impact of jurisdictional waters on this site may be permissible under Nationwide Permit No. 26 in 33 CFR Part 330, Appendix A, which is applicable to project impacts of less than 10 acres of waters and/or wetlands above the headwaters (less than five cubic feet per second average annual flow). Nationwide Permit No. 26 authorizes minor discharges of dredged or fill material into isolated or headwater waters of the U.S., including wetlands. If the jurisdictional areas to be impacted are considered below the headwaters and/or the total impact area above the headwaters totals more than 10 acres, then an individual Section 404 Permit would be required for the proposed development. Wetlands observed on the site appear to be located adjacent to "above the headwaters" streams and would be applicable for NWP 26 permitting. If there are freshwater wetland impacts exceeding one-third of an acre under NWP 26, then the project will require a PDN submittal for the proposed impacts. The PDN may require you to address the following concerns: presence of a protected species, presence of significant cultural resources, and possible wetland mitigation planning to off-set wetland losses. All activities conducted under the Nationwide Permit program I must comply with the General Conditions listed under 33 CFR Part 330, Appendix A, Section C (attached). Permitting under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act may require coordination with interested agencies including, but not limited, to the USACE, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, N.C. Department of Environment, M Health, and Natural Resources, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Recommendations After the jurisdictional boundaries have been verified by the USACE, a metes-and-bounds survey should be conducted by you to determine the areal extent of the jurisdictional waters on the project site. We shall review the surveyed wetland map and forward it to the Wilmington District USACE for their final written verification. We recommend verification of the jurisdictional boundaries by the USACE prior to initiating filling, construction, mechanized landclearing, or any other impacts on the site. The USACE verification will provide appropriate documentation for your files concerning the area of jurisdictional waters/wetlands to be impacted. Based on our findings from this preliminary study, filling of wetlands shown on our field map could potentially be conducted within the limits set forth by Nationwide Permit 26, as long as the conditions of the permit are observed. Please note that this conclusion does not consider floodway or floodplain fill restrictions or any other restrictions as mandated by local ordinance, State or Federal regulation. The findings of our study are only applicable to the dates of our field investigation. r r r r M r r Bob Barker Delineation November 1, 1996 LAW Project No. 30741-6-1786 Page 5 Conclusion We appreciate the opportunity to conduct these environmental services for the Bob Barker Company.

Commercial NW-26 Wake County The subject wetlands is a common first order Sandhills stream, where the creek channel and the area immediately adjacent is densely vegetated. This is.?due to the dramatic change of moisture and organic matter content of the soils which results in a clear demarcation of the vegetation (ecotone). (yes there are Sandhills communities/geomorphology in Wake County). Arundinaria gigantea, Liriodendron tulipifera, Acer rubrum, Woodwarida areolata, Sphagnum , L, racemosa, were prominent. With respect to my understanding of the Division current stream policy the RRO will not recommend stream mitigation for this site. This office recommends issuance of this Certification with the following stipulations: -Mr. Mark Davis proposes to treat all on site stormwater in a stormwater pond which is designed to the Stormwater Group's guidelines. Further, all of the out-falls (both off site and on site stormwater) to the streams are proposed outside of the wetland areas with dissipators.

(LAW) is pleased to submit this report concerning the jurisdictional waters/wetlands delineation on an estimated 50-acre site located in Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, North Carolina. This report documents the methodology used to assess approximate jurisdictional boundaries, the results of our studies and our conclusions concerning the permitting requirements under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (13 U.S.C. 1344). WATERS OF THE U.S./WETLANDS DELINEATION AND FINDINGS Background and Methodology 1!q LAW was contracted to conduct an approximate delineation of the jurisdictional boundaries of wetlands and waters of the U.S. on the estimated 50-acre Bob Barker site located southeast of Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. The site is bordered to the west by North Carolina Secondary Road (S.R.) 1301 (Purfoy Road), and on the north, east, and south by neighboring property owners (Drawing 1.1). No other areas besides those described above are subject to the Scope-of-Services, including delineation and reporting. Jurisdictional wetlands are defined by 33 CFR Part 328.3(b) and are protected by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344), which is administered and enforced in North Carolina by the U.S. Army Corps of 3301 ATLANTIC AVENUE • RALEIGH, NC 27604 P. 0.

Jurisdictional wetlands are defined in the field as areas that have positive evidence of the following three environmental parameters: • Hydrophytic vegetation • Hydric soils • Wetland hydrology Wetlands on the subject property were determined using the Routine On-Site Determination Method as defined in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. The wetland delineation was conducted on October 30, 1996, by Mr. Wayne Wilkinson, Senior Environmental Geologist, and Mr. Martin Korenek, Staff Ecologist. Observations of the soil, vegetation, and hydrology were made on the study area in order to make appropriate wetland/upland delineations. Potential wetland boundaries were estimated over the site (Drawing 1.2). The wetland boundaries are subject to change following verification by the USACE, if required. The drawings of these approximate wetland boundaries are intended for preliminary planning purposes only. I Findings Jurisdictional areas observed on the subject site consist of jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands. The northern, eastern and southern boundaries of the site had been surveyed, and the western boundary of the site parallels Purfoy Road. The wetland delineation was performed over the entire site (Drawing 1.2). The wetland areas were identified with a letter designation in order of occurrence on the site from the south to the north (Drawing 1.2). Six wetland determination data points were also taken from various locations across the site (Drawing 1.2). The northwestern and northern-central portion of the site consisted of agricultural fields, while the northern and eastern portions of the site consisted of forested land which sloped generally eastward toward two ponds, a fallow, agricultural field, and a swamp. The central portion of the site consisted of forested land, which drained much of the site from west to east toward a second swamp. The southern portion of the site consisted of forested land, which was drained northeastward toward the second swamp. The northeastern, central and southeastern areas of the site have small, intermittent streams in which runoff water flows t Environmental laboratory. 1987.

The central portion of the site also receives runoff water from the adjacent property located west of Purfoy Road by means of a culvert, which is located beneath Purfoy Road. Jurisdictional areas in the northeast, southeast and central areas of the site include the intermittent streams and the forested alluvial wetland areas associated with the streams (Drawing 1.2). The northern, southern and central wetland areas continue generally eastward along the three unnamed intermittent streams to where they flow into the swamps. One swamp is located in the northeast corner of the subject site, at the junction of the northern and eastern site boundaries. The second swamp is located several hundred feet south of the first swamp, on the eastern boundary of the site. The topographic map indicates that the two swamps flow towards an unnamed pond located approximately 700 feet east of the subject site. The swamps are considered jurisdictional and are subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344) rules and regulations. The wetland sections north, west and south of the swamps include forested alluvial wetland areas on each side of, and adjacent to, the streams. There are two ponds also located in the northern/central section of the site, both of which initially drain eastward, and then also southeastward, towards both swamps (Drawing 1.2). ' The U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Wake County Soil Survey indicates that upland and hydric soils are found on the subject site, with hydric soils limited to the floodplains of streams ' and other areas in which frequent wetness and surface ponding are prevalent. Soils observed on the site ranged from upland soils to State-listed hydric soils. The upland soils were observed to be located on the ' higher portions of the site and the hydric soils were observed in the lower-lying, drainage areas of the site. The wetland areas identified on the site have hydric soils that appear to be either flooded, or saturated at or near the surface for long periods during the growing season. The 1995 Fuquay-Varina National Wetlands Inventory map indicates that the northernmost swamp is an area which is permanently flooded and is mapped as wetlands. The total area of jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on the Barker site is field estimated to be approximately seven acres, much of which is linear, crossing the site generally from west to east in the northern, central and southern portions of the site (Drawing 1.2). Regulatory Considerations/Development Implications Depending on the type and extent of waters to be impacted, wetland permitting requirements can range from activities that are considered exempt or preauthorized, to those requiring pre-discharge notification (PDN) for a Nationwide Permit (NWP) or requiring a Section 404 Individual Permit from the USACE. Wetland permitting requirements are generally based on the acreage of impact; however, adjacent streams that directly influence the wetlands in question are also considered. ' , /996 Bob Barker Delineation November / LAW Project No. 3074/-6-1786 4k Page 4 Activity involving the impact of jurisdictional waters on this site may be permissible under Nationwide Permit No. 26 in 33 CFR Part 330, Appendix A, which is applicable to project impacts of less than 10 acres of waters and/or wetlands above the headwaters (less than five cubic feet per second average annual flow). Nationwide Permit No. 26 authorizes minor discharges of dredged or fill material into isolated or headwater waters of the U.S., including wetlands. If the jurisdictional areas to be impacted are considered below the headwaters and/or the total impact area above the headwaters totals more than 10 acres, then an individual Section 404 Permit would be required for the proposed development. Wetlands observed on the site appear to be located adjacent to "above the headwaters" streams and would be applicable for NWP 26 permitting. If there are freshwater wetland impacts exceeding one-third of an acre under NWP 26, then the project will require a PDN submittal for the proposed impacts. The PDN may require you to address the following concerns: presence of a protected species, presence of significant cultural resources, and possible wetland mitigation planning to off-set wetland losses. All activities conducted under the Nationwide Permit program must comply with the General Conditions listed under 33 CFR Part 330, Appendix A, Section C (attached). Permitting under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act may require coordination with interested agencies including, but not limited, to the USACE, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, N.C. Department of Environment, M Health, and Natural Resources, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Recommendations After the jurisdictional boundaries have been verified by the USACE, a metes-and-bounds survey should be conducted by you to determine the areal extent of the jurisdictional waters on the project site. We shall review the surveyed wetland map and forward it to the Wilmington District USACE for their final written verification. We recommend verification of the jurisdictional boundaries by the USACE prior to initiating filling, construction, mechanized landclearing, or any other impacts on the site. The USACE verification will provide appropriate documentation for your files concerning the area of jurisdictional waters/wetlands to be impacted. Based on our findings from this preliminary study, filling of wetlands shown on our field map could potentially be conducted within the limits set forth by Nationwide Permit 26, as long as the conditions of the permit are observed. Please note that this conclusion does not consider floodway or floodplain fill restrictions or any other restrictions as mandated by local ordinance, State or Federal regulation. The findings of our study are only applicable to the dates of our field investigation. r r r r r r M w w e M r Bob Barker Delineation November 1, 1996 LAW Project No. 30741-6-1786 Page 5 Conclusion We appreciate the opportunity to conduct these environmental services for the Bob Barker Company.
