Road <br />Cary, NC 27511 . <br />Reference: Revised Report for wetland and Endangered Species Investigations <br />Site 056 (west 54 LLC), Appro innately 143 Acres <br />Orange County, North Carolina <br />Dear Mr. Parker, <br />Hal Owen and Associates; Inc. has conducted an investigation for the subject property, <br />which is located on the northern, side of Hwy 54, in the white Cross USGS topographic map <br />quadrangle' of grange County, forth Carolina. The purpose of this investigation was to <br />determine the existence and extent of areas that are regulated under Section 404 of the Clean <br />Water Acct and to present our findings on a hand drawn map representing the approximate <br />location and extent of each wetland area observed. The purpose of the investigation was also to <br />identify areas that contain the habitat needed to support known, endangered or threatened plant or <br />animal species. <br />All wetland determinations and delineations were made ua accordance with the 1987 TES <br />Army Corps of Engineers wetland Delineation Manual. 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'x. This report represents any professional opinion <br />as a Licensed Soil Sciehtist but does not represent concurrence by the US Array Carps of <br />Engineers or the NC Division of water Quality. <br />Wetland Investigation <br />Within the approximately 70 acre area designated for construction of the transfer station, <br />we identified three streams and four wetland areas (see attached map). Areas that met the <br />criteria of jurisdictional wetlands were delineated by hanging consecutively numbered lagging <br />along the wetland boundary to be survey located. It appears that the three streams have been <br />previously identified in the field. while at the site we collected supporting wetland <br />determination data required by . the US Army Corps of Engineers in order to conduct a <br />Jurisdictional, Determination. We c rnpleted two sets of wetland determination forms and three <br />stream determination forms and took photographs, <br />Soil Science Investigations + wetland Delineations, Permitting, and Consulting <br />
