Introduction
This Waters for the United States (WOTUS) report presents the results of a field survey conducted on behalf
of The Chemours Company. On February 27, 2019, a field survey was conducted by Parsons to determine
the location and extent of any potential WOTUS, including wetlands and waterbodies, that would be
regulated by the Clean Water Act (CWA) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) subject
to the jurisdiction of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). The field survey was also conducted to determine the location
and extent of any potential Waters of the State which include any wetland, stream, or waterbody as defined
in North Carolina’s General Statute 143-212.
Project Location and Background
On July 1, 2015, The Chemours Company, a spin-off company from DuPont, became the owner of the 2,177-
acre property along with DuPont’s manufacturing units. The Chemours Company continues to use the
property as a manufacturing facility (Fayetteville Works) of plastic sheeting, fluorochemicals, and
intermediates for plastic manufacturing.
The Chemours Company Fayetteville Works Project area is located approximately 15 miles southeast of
the City of Fayetteville in Bladen County, North Carolina. The 2,177-acre site is relatively flat and has
undeveloped, open land and woodland. It is bounded on the east by the Cape Fear River and on the west
by North Carolina Highwater 87, and on the north and south by farmland.
On February 25, 2019, the North Carolina Superior Court for Bladen County entered a Consent Order (CO)
among The Chemours Company FC, LLC (Chemours) and the State of NC and Cape Fear River Watch to
address discharges of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at the Chemours Fayetteville
Works (the Site). Among other things, the CO requires Chemours to develop a remedial plan for reducing
PFAS loading from Old Outfall 002 at the Site to the Cape Fear River . Design and implementation details
for near-term remedial actions at the facility have been developed 1 (Parsons 2018). Ongoing planning
documents addressed PFAS releases to groundwater from historical and current operations. An option
considered in these documents included the capture and pumping of groundwater to a new wastewater
treatment facility designed to treat PFAS. Two pump station locations were considered; however, the study
area discussed below is the only pump station location currently being considered. According to the CO,
by September 30, 2020, Chemours shall implement such measures to reduce PFAS loading from Old Outfall
002 to the Cape Fear River that will achieve results that are 99% effective in controlling indicator parameters
[GenX and PFMOAA]. To meet this PFAS reduction, Chemours will construct an instream structure in Old

1 Per a Consent Order, dated February 25, 2019, The Chemours Company denies any violation of any law,
regulation or permit, and has agreed remediation to avoid the expense, burden, and uncertainty of
litigation and to address community concerns about the facility.

Outfall 002 stream and a water treatment facility. The instream structure would create a small
impoundment and the water in this impoundment would be pumped to the new treatment facility.
The study area is located west of Glengerry Road, spanning across an unnamed tributary (UNT) to the
Cape Fear River. An outfall (Old Outfall 002) is located along the tributary that eventually passes under
Glengerry Road. Detailed mapping of the project area is provided in Appendix A. On February 27, 2019, a
field survey was conducted by Parsons to determine the location and extent of any potential WOTUS within
the study area for the proposed capture and treatment facility. This report presents the results of that field
survey.
Methodology

2 1BMethodology

Desktop Review
Prior to field investigations, a desktop analysis of available information was reviewed, and potential
wetland areas were identified using published data, including: National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps;
United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute series topographic maps; and Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) soil mapping for Bladen County, North Carolina.
NWI and Floodplain Mapping
The NWI mapping was used as an initial screen to determine locations of potential water resources within
the project area. NWI wetlands are illustrated in the detailed mapping provided in Appendix A. Wetlands
on NWI maps are classified in accordance with (Cowardin et al. 1979).
USGS Mapping
During review of USGS 7.5-minute series topo mapping (Appendix A), one intermittent (dashed blue line)
stream (Old Outfall 002 stream) was noted within the project area. This intermittent stream is an unnamed
tributary to the Cape Fear River. The upstream drainage of this tributary is 0.7 square miles (USGS 2019).
The western boundary of the study area is approximately 1,200 feet west of the Cape Fear River. The Cape
Fear River is a 202-mile long river that touches parts of Harnett, Cumberland, Bladen, Columbus, Pender,
Brunswick, and New Hanover counties in North Carolina before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean.
NRCS Soil Mapping
NRCS database includes a listing of soil map units that relate to specific soil series. A soil series is the
lowest, most homogeneous class in the soil taxonomy system. Each soil series has distinct soil attributes
that are defined by the NRCS. The soil attributes include physical and chemical properties and interpretive
groupings produced by the NRCS, including attributes that relate to potential soil impacts. Examples of
those soil attributes include the topographic setting and average slope, hydric soil conditions, drainage
characteristics, susceptibility to water and wind erosion, and suitability for use as farmland. The NRCS
classifies each soil type as follows: hydric (100%), predominately hydric (66-99%), partially hydric (33-65%),
predominately non-hydric (1-32%), and not-hydric (0%).
Hydric soils are soils that are inundated with water long enough to produce anaerobic conditions, and they
are an indicator of jurisdictional wetlands. Generally, hydric soils are those soils that are poorly drained or
very poorly drained. Hydric soils may indicate the presence of wetlands or high-water tables.
According to the Soil Survey Geographic Database, two mapped soil units fall within the study area of The
Chemours Company Fayetteville Works Project: Dystrochepts, steep (non-hydric) (79.4%) and Wagram
fine sand, 0 to 6 percent slopes (predominantly non-hydric) (20.6%). NRCS soil map units are illustrated in
the detailed mapping provided in Appendix A.
Watersheds
The Chemours Company Fayetteville Works Project is located within the following hydrologic unit code
(HUC) 12-digit watersheds: Phillips Creek-Cape Fear River (030300050104). The Phillips Creek-Cape Fear
River watershed has an area of 44.0 square miles (NCWSN 2019). Landcover types within this watershed

include wetlands (33.0%), agriculture (19.1%), shrubland (16.7%), grassland (2.1%), forest (24.4%),
developed (2.9%), and open water (1.8%) (NCWSN 2019).
Field Reconnaissance
A field survey was conducted on February 27, 2019 to determine the presence of streams, wetlands, and
other water resources within the project area (i.e., the proposed capture and treatment area). Wetlands,
streams, and other waters were evaluated in the field and mapped with a handheld Global Positioning
System (GPS) unit (Trimble Geo7x). Data were recorded on applicable datasheets and features were
photographed. The GPS data was converted to ArcGIS shapefiles, data was attributed, and entered into the
project GIS database.
Wetlands were delineated using guidance set forth in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation
Manual (USACE 1987) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual:
Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0) (USACE 2010). Data points were taken in locations that
exhibited one (or more) wetland indicators based on visual observations and for upland locations adjacent
to the wetlands. If all indicators were missing, no formal data was collected.
Streams were evaluated using the 2010 North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Methodology
for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins (NCDWQ 2010). The upstream
drainage area for each stream was calculated using StreamStats Version 4.3 (USGS 2019). All streams were
photographed and mapped with a GPS unit.

Wetlands
The field investigation resulted in the identification of two (2), likely jurisdictional, wetlands in the vicinity
of the project area, totally 0.05 acre. Detailed mapping of these features is provided in Appendix A. Project
area photographs are presented in Appendix B. The wetland determination data forms and accompanying
upland data forms, as well as, wetland functions and values datasheets are presented in Appendix C.
Wetland 1
Wetland 1 is a small, 0.01-acre groundwater-fed seep within a bottomland hardwood forest, south of Old
Outfall 002. The small seep receives stormwater runoff and has groundwater to the surface. The depressi on
appears to remain saturated for long durations during the growing season. Dominant vegetation within
this wetland includes loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), American holly (Ilex opaca), and red maple (Acer rubrum).
Within the wetland, soils are silt loam that transition to sandy loam at a depth of two inches. A lot of organic
matter is present in the top two inches of soil. Below two inches, the soil becomes saturated. At a depth of
eight inches, the soils become a slurry. A strong hydrogen sulfide odor was o bserved. Wetland hydrology
indicators include saturation, a high-water table, water-stained leaves, and a hydrogen sulfide odor.
The upland data point (Upland 1) is well drained. The upland is dominated by silver maple (Acer
saccharinum), American beech (Fagus grandifolia), and American holly (Ilex opaca). Soils are a sandy loam.
Fairly well drained on a slope above Wetland 1.
Wetlands 2
Wetland 2 is a small, 0.04-acre road ditch wetland along Glengerry Road. Dominant vegetation within this
wetland includes common rush (Juncus effuses). Soils are a sandy loam that are saturated to the surface. The
area receives surface water runoff during stormwater events and appears to receive intermittent
groundwater seepage from the uplands to the west. Soils were inundated up to two inches in some portions
of the wetland. Filamentous algae was observed in inundated portions of the wetland.
Streams
Field investigation resulted in the identification of two, likely jurisdictional, streams within the project area,
totaling approximately 300 linear feet.
UNT-1 to Cape Fear River (Old Outfall 002)
UNT-1 to Cape Fear River is a deeply incised stream bed below Old Outfall 002 of the Fayetteville Works
site. Most of the base flow within this stream is from groundwater. At the time of the field survey, a portion
of the area was flooded with backwater from the Cape Fear River. UNT-1 to Cape Fear River is shown as
an intermittent stream on USGS 7.5-minute series topographic mapping; however, based on the 2010 North
Carolina Division of Water Quality Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their
Origins, this is a perennial stream. This determination was supported by a NCDWQ Stream Identification

Form score of 44.25 2 . The upstream drainage of this tributary is 0.7 square miles (USGS 2019).
Approximately 300 linear feet of UNT-1 to Cape Fear River lies within the study area, of which,
approximately 70 linear feet, is encapsulated in a culvert. UNT-1 to Cape Fear River is likely a WOTUS
because of the presence of an OHWM and its connectivity to the Cape Fear River, a traditionally navigable
waterway.
UNT-2 to Cape Fear River
UNT-2 to Cape Fear River is an ephemeral channel that enters UNT -1 to Caper Fear River just west of the
study area. UNT-2 to Cape Fear River is not shows on USGS 7.5-minute series topographic mapping;
however, based on the 2010 North Carolina Division of Water Quality Methodology for Identification of
Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins, this is an ephemeral stream. This determination was
supported by a NCDWQ Stream Identification Form score of 11.75. UNT-2 to Cape Fear River lies outside
of the study area. UNT-2 to Cape Fear River is likely a WOTUS because of the presence of an OHWM
(observed outside of the study area) and its connectivity via UNT-1 to the Cape Fear River, a traditionally
navigable waterway.
UNT-3 to Cape Fear River
UNT-3 to Cape Fear River is an ephemeral channel (primarily a road ditch) parallel to Glengerry Road.
UNT-3 to Cape Fear River is not shown on USGS 7.5-minute series topographic mapping; however, based
on the 2010 North Carolina Division of Water Quality Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial
Streams and Their Origins, this is an ephemeral stream. This determination was supported by a NCDWQ
Stream Identification Form score of 12.25. Approximately 15 linear feet of UNT-3 to Cape Fear River lies
within the study area, all off which is currently encapsulated within a culvert. UNT-3 to Cape Fear River is
likely a WOTUS because of the presence of an OHWM (observed outside of the study area) and its
connectivity via UNT-1 to the Cape Fear River, a traditionally navigable waterway.

2 Per the 2010 North Carolina Division of Water Quality Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and
Perennial Streams and Their Origins, a stream is ephemeral if it obtains a score less than 19. A stream is at
least intermittent if it obtains a score greater than or equal to 19. A stream is perennial is it obtains a score
greater than or equal to 30.
Conclusion

4 2BConclusion

Based on the field review, the project area has features that are likely WOTUS. Two (2) streams, totaling
315 linear feet, were identified within the project area. One additional stream was identified adjacent to the
project area. Two (2) wetlands, totaling 0.05 acre, were identified in the vicinity of the project area.
Efforts to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts to WOTUS will continue through the design phase of the
project. If impacts are unavoidable, mitigation may be required. The final determination of jurisdictional
waters is ultimately made by the USACE. This report reflects the analysis and best judgment of the wetland
scientists based on the guidelines set forth by the USACE.
