Stream and Wetland Delineation Report August 2019
Latham -Walters Engineering, Inc. — Harwood Automotive SynTerra
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
SynTerra Corporation (SynTerra) was retained by Latham -Walters Engineering, Inc.
(Client) on behalf of Harwood Automotive to prepare a jurisdictional stream and
wetland delineation study on a +/-4.21 acre site in Midland, North Carolina (NC),
located at 3131 Highway 24-27 (Study Area) (Figures 1 through 3). The purpose of the
stream and wetland delineation report is to identify, flag and survey the jurisdictional
streams and/or wetlands on the parcel in preparation for an addition to the existing
auto repair structure on the property. This report is based on a site visit and web
research, including the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey of Cabarrus County (Figure 4) and
National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Maps (Figure 5).
SynTerra scientists Richard K. Mogensen, Professional Wetland Scientist (PWS), and
Amber Lipsky conducted a site evaluation on August 15, 2019. During this evaluation,
the jurisdictional wetlands were marked with pre-printed pink "Wetland Boundary'
flagging tape. The flags were sequentially numbered and surveyed with a geographical
positioning system (GPS) mapping tool (Garmin eTrex). A total of two wetlands (W-1,
0.089 acre & W-2, 0.288 acre) were assessed and are shown on Figure 6. The two
wetlands identified generally fall within the larger polygon indicated on the NWI Map.
No jurisdictional streams were found on the property although a stream is indicated on
the NWI. This feature was historically graded over and no longer exists on this
property.

Stream and Wetland Delineation Report August 2019

1.0 METHODOLOGY
Stream and wetland delineations were performed in accordance with the Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (1987 Corps Manual) (USACE, 1987) and the State
of North Carolina's isolated wetlands rules. These manuals generally follow a three -
parameter approach to making wetland delineations: hydrophytic vegetation, hydric
soils and hydrologic indicators. All three parameters normally must be present for an
area to be considered a wetland under Section 404/1 of the Clean Water Act. Wetlands
were classified according to the Cowardin System, as described in Classification of
Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin, 1979). This is the
standard system of wetland classification used by most state and federal agencies.
Stream assessments were conducted in accordance with the NC Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and
Perennial Streams and Their Origins, Version 4.11. Typically, a stream channel must have
an ordinary high water mark (OHWM) for it to be considered jurisdictional. Although
procedures for making the determinations are standardized, judgments are sometimes
required, depending on the strength or weakness of any of the defining parameters. In
addition, transition areas between uplands and wetlands often exist, also requiring
judgments as to the boundaries. Therefore, some adjustments to the boundaries may
occur during a field review with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)
and NCDEQ-Division of Water Resources (NCDEQ-DWR or NCDWR).
1.1 Vegetation
Plant species observed at the Study Area were identified and the wetland indicator
status for each species was determined from the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont 2016
Regional Wetland Plant List (USACE, 2016). f The[cPsl indicator status notes the percentage
of probability that the plant would occur in a wetland. The following are the indicator
status designations:
OBL — Obligate Wetland (> 99% probability)
FACW — Facultative Wetland (>66% probability)
FAC — Facultative (33% to 66% probability)
FACU — Facultative Upland (1% to 3% probability)
Results: Overall, in the wetland areas evaluated, an average of 90% of observed species
were OBL, FACW, FAC. All others observed were FACU or upland species according to
the National Wetland Plant List. For more details on the vegetation, refer to the attached
Wetland Data Forms.

1.2 Soils
A hydric soil is a soil that is saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the
growing season to develop anaerobic conditions that favor hydrophytic vegetation. A
hydric soil may either be drained or undrained, although a drained hydric soil may not
continue to support wetland plants. According to the 1987 Corps Manual, only when a
hydric soil supports hydrophytic vegetation and the area has indicators of wetland
hydrology may the soil be referred to as a "wetland soil". During this investigation, soil
cores were taken, generally to a depth of 18 inches to determine whether wetland soils
are present. Soil characteristics that were checked include composition, texture, color
(chroma & value), odor and moisture regime of the soil. These characteristics are
determined in the absence of direct sunlight and with a moistened sample. The
"Munsell Soil Color Chart" is used to determine color values and chroma.
Results: The soils mapped on the property consists mainly of Kirksey silt loam (KkB)
which is not hydric, with a small instance of Chewacla loam (ChA), which can be a
hydric soil. The Chewacla soils had inclusions of Wehadke (We) which is the typical
hydric component of the Chewacla soil series. These soil types were confirmed in the
field. For more details on the soils found onsite refer to the attached Wetland Data
Forms.
1.3 Hydrologic Indicators
According to the 1987 Corps Manual, an area must be periodically inundated or have
saturated soils for a significant period of time during the growing season, typically
between 5 and 12% of the growing season. Hydrologic indicators include, but are not
limited to, blackened water, stained leaves, visual inundation, drift lines and
hummocks, and wetland drainage patterns. Hydrological characteristics observed on
the Study Area were noted during the field investigation and are listed on the attached
Wetland Data Forms.
Results: Instances of standing water, saturation, and other indicators were observed in
the identified wetland areas. For more details on the existing hydrologic indicators refer
to the attached Wetland Data Forms.

2.0 STUDY AREA DESCRIPTION
The center of the project Study Area is located at 3130 Hwy 24-27 in Midland, Cabarrus
County, North Carolina; latitude is 35.2494 N, longitude is-80.5210 W. Parcel ID: 55444-
6900-5000 (Figure 1). This site is approximately 4.21 acres and is partially forested on
the west and south of the property. An ephemeral storm water conveyance channel was
present just outside the southern border of the property. The north portion consists of a
maintained lawn, a pond with fountain, and a grassed storm water conveyance swale
originating from a culvert under Albemarle Road. The storm water conveyance swale
originates at a black corrugated pipe under the driveway to the parking lot. It outlets to
a grassed swale adjacent to the pond referenced above. Neither of these features are
jurisdictional. Centrally located is Harwood Automotive garage, an existing automotive
repair shop. Surrounding the property is forest, several residences, and Highway 24/27
(Albemarle Road). The National Wetlands Inventory Map (Figure 5) shows a portion of
the property in the northwestern corner as PF01A wetland. In the course of the field
activities, two small wetlands were identified and delineated in that area. The NWI also
indicates an intermittent streambed (R4SBC) which has been replaced by the grassed
swale mentioned above.
Dominant species observed in the wetlands include red maple, sweetgum, green ash,
eastern red cedar, willow oak, Juncus species, greenbrier, deer tongue grass, and St.
John's wort. Soils on the site predominantly consist of well drained, slowly permeable,
unsaturated Kirksey silt loam with a small area of poorly drained Chewacla loam in the
northwest corner (Figure 4).

2.1 Wetlands
Two wetland areas were delineated on the subject property and are depicted on the
attached delineation map (Figure 6). Wetland 1 is a 0.089 acre forested wetland to the
west of the parking lot immediately downstream of the constructed pond. The wetland
is a combination of hardwood forest and emergent wetland with forested fringe. The
site is classified as PF01A (Palustrine Forested Freshwater Wetland) using the
Cowardin Classification system. Low chroma soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and
temporary flooding indicate positive hydrologic parameters. This wetland is dominated

3.0 CONSIDERATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT
The plans provided by Latham -Walters Engineering, Inc. for the shop addition to
Harwood Automotive are not anticipated to impact the identified wetlands. If either of
these wetlands will be impacted, a permit may be required from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and the NCDEQ-DWR. If the project's impacts exceed North Carolina
thresholds (0.10 acre for wetlands and 150 linear feet for streams), compensatory
mitigation may be required. SynTerra can assist with any necessary Clean Water Act or
ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT PERMITS AND AUTHORIZATIONS.

Definitions of Four Vegetation Strata:
Tree - Woody plants, excluding vines, 3 in. (7.6 cm) or
more in diameter at breast height (DBH), regardless of
height.
Sapling/Shrub - Woody plants, excluding vines, less
than 3 in. DBH and greater than or equal to 3.28 ft
(1 m) tall.
Herb - All herbaceous (non -woody) plants, regardless
of size, and woody plants less than 3.28 ft tall.
Woody Vine - All woody vines greater than 3.28 ft in
height.
