All stream determinations were made in <br />accordance with the NC Division of Water Quality "Identification Methods for the Origins of <br />Intermittent and Perennial Streams Version 3.1". This report represents my'professional opinion <br />as a Licensed Sail Scientist. but does not represent concurrence by the US Army Corps of <br />Engineers or the NC Division of Water Quality. <br />Wetland Ynvestigation <br />Within the approximately 25 acre. area designated for construction of the transfer station, <br />we identified two streams and three wetland areas (see attached map). Areas that met the criteria <br />o~jurisdictional wetlands were delineated by hanging consecutively numbered (tagging along the <br />wetland Boundary to be survey located. It appears that the two streams have been previously <br />identified iz~ the• field with blue flagging, While at the site we collected supporting wetland <br />determination data required by the US Army Carps of Engineers .in order to conduct a <br />Jurisdictional Determination. We completed two sets of wetland determination• forms and three <br />stream deternuna#ion forms and took photographs. <br />Soil Science Investigations + Wetland Delineations, Permitting, and Consulting <br />
