50 404 DELINEATION SECTION404OFTHECLEANWATERACTESTABLISHEDAPROGRAMTOREGULATETHE DISCHARGE OF DREDGED OR FILL MATERIAL INTO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES, INCLUDING WETLANDS. THE PROGRAM IS JOINTLY ADMINISTERED BY THE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS (CORPS OR USACE) AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA). A DESKTOP REVIEW WAS CONDUCTED. A DESKTOP REVIEW INVOLVES REVIEW OF READILY AVAILABLE ONLINE MAPPING TO REASONABLY APPROXIMATE ANY POTENTIAL WATERS OF THE U.S. USGS TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED ALONG WITH USDA SOILS MAPS, AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY, FEMA FIRMETTEMAPS AND THE NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORY MAPS TO ARRIVE AT THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS FOR EACH TRACT: (Source: Kimley Horn & Associates. Industrial Property Study. June 2015)

51 SITE DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS SECTION 1 SECTION 1 NO PORTION OF SECTION 1 ( TRACT 1 ) APPEARS TO BE WITHIN THE DESIGNATED 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN. THERE IS ALSO NO INDICATION THAT AQUATIC FEATURES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE WATERS OF THE U.S. ARE PRESENT ON TRACT 1. SECTION 1 BASED ON THIS REVIEW WE FEEL THAT DEVELOPMENT CAN OCCUR ON TRACT 1 WITHOUT INITIATING USACE COORDINATION OR PERMITTING. (Source: Kimley Horn & Associates. Industrial Property Study. June 2015)

52 SITE DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS SECTION 2 SECTION 2 SECTION 2 NO PORTION OF TRACT 2 APPEARS TO BE WITHIN THE DESIGNATED 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN. THERE IS INDICATION HOWEVER THAT AQUATIC FEATURES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE WATERS OF THE U.S. ARE PRESENT, IN THE FORM OF TWO MAPPED STREAM CHANNELS. RECENTANDHISTORICAERIALS,ASWELLASTHEUSGSTOPO MAP AND NATIONAL HYDROGRAPHIC DATABASE, SHOW AN UN NAMED TRIBUTARY TO BEAR CREEK BEGINNING NEAR THE SOUTHWESTERN EDGE OF TRACT 2 AND FLOWING TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS MAPPED STREAM CHANNEL FLOWS OFF SITE THROUGH BOX CULVERTS PLACED UNDER THE ADJACENT RAILROAD TRACKS AND SH 342. A SECOND STREAM APPEARS TO ORIGINATE IN THE WALTON TRACT AND FLOWS NORTH TO MERGE WITH THE FIRST IDENTIFIED STREAM IN THE MIDDLE OFTRACT2.ITISLIKELYTHATTHESESTREAMREACHESAREOF AN EPHEMERAL HYDROLOGIC REGIME. THE READILY AVAILABLE MAPPING DOES NOT INDICATE THE LIKELY PRESENCE OF ADJACENT OR FRINGE WETLANDS. IT IS OUR OPINION THAT THESE UN NAMED REACHES TO BEAR CREEK WOULD BE CONSIDERED WATERS OF THE U.S. BASED ON THIS REVIEW WE RECOMMEND A SITE VISIT BY A QUALIFIED WETLAND SCIENTIST TO MAKE OBSERVATIONS ON TRACT 2 AND COORDINATE WITH THE USACE IF DETERMINED NECESSARY. IF THESE REACHES ARE CONFIRMED TO BE WATERS OF THE U.S., IMPACTS COULD BE PERMITTED AS DETAILED IN THE USACE PERMITTING SECTION BELOW. (Source: Kimley Horn & Associates. Industrial Property Study. June 2015)

53 SITE DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS SECTION 3 SECTION 3 SECTION 3 NO PORTION OF SECTION 3 ( TRACT 3 ) APPEARS TO BE WITHIN THE 100 YEAR FLOODPLAIN. THERE IS INDICATION HOWEVER THAT AQUATIC FEATURES THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE WATERS OF THE U.S. ARE PRESENT ON THE SITE, IN THE FORM OF A POSSIBLE STREAM CHANNEL AND KNOWN IMPOUNDMENT. RECENT AND HISTORIC AERIALS, AS WELL AS THE USGS TOPO MAP AND NATIONAL HYDROGRAPHIC DATABASE, SHOW A POSSIBLE UN NAMED TRIBUTARY TO BEAR CREEK BEGINNING NEAR THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE SITE AND FLOWING TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS POSSIBLE STREAM CHANNEL FLOWS OFF SITE THROUGH A THICK CANOPY OF TREES. IT IS LIKELY THAT THIS DRAINAGE FEATURE WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN UPLAND DITCH OR SWALE AND WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED WATERS OF THE U.S. UNDER THE CURRENT GUIDANCE. A SITE VISIT SHOULD BE CONDUCTED TO VERIFY THE CURRENT STATE OF THIS DRAINAGE AND THE PROPER CATEGORIZATION OF THESE FEATURES. READILY AVAILABLE MAPPING ALSO INDICATES A SMALL IMPOUNDMENT OR UPLAND TANK LOCATED NEAR THE SOUTHERN BOUNDARY OF THE SITE. IT IS LIKELY THAT THIS IS AN UPLAND STOCK TANK, HISTORICALLY USED FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES AND WOULD BE CONSIDERED ISOLATED UNDER CURRENT GUIDANCE AND NOT WATERS OF THE US. (Source: Kimley Horn & Associates. Industrial Property Study. June 2015)

54 SITE DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS SECTION 4 SECTION 4 SECTION 4 TO SUMMARIZE THE DELINEATION, TWO TRIBUTARIES WERE IDENTIFIED WITHIN THE PROJECT SITE. BASED ON THE JUNE 2007 GUIDANCE, IT IS IES PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT THE USACE WOULD DETERMINE THAT TRIBUTARY 1 AND TRIBUTARY 2 WOULD MEET A DEFINITION OF A WATER OF THE UNITED STATES. THIS OPINION IS BASED ON THE FEATURES LOCATION WITHIN THE LANDSCAPE AND THE HISTORIC EVIDENCE OF THE PREVIOUSLY EXISTING FEATURE WITHIN THE PROJECT SITE. AS SUCH, TRIBUTARY 1 AND TRIBUTARY 2 WOULD BE CONSIDERED A WATER OF THE UNITED STATES AND DISCHARGES INTO THIS CHANNEL WOULD BE REGULATED UNDER SECTION 404 OF THE CWA. THIS DELINEATION IS BASED ON PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE IN THE APPROVED METHODOLOGY AND FROM EXPERIENCE WITH THE USACE FORT WORTH DISTRICT REGULATORY BIOLOGISTS; HOWEVER, THIS DELINEATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION OF WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES. ONLY THE USACE CAN MAKE THE FINAL JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION, WHICH CAN BE BASED ON THE PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS PRESENTED IN THIS REPORT. (Source: Integrated Environmental Solutions, LLC. Waters of the US Determination Study. November 2014)

55 USACE PERMITTING IF PROPOSED ACTIVITIES CONDUCTED ON TRACT 2 OR 3 DO NOT IMPACT WATERS OF THE US, NO PERMIT OR COORDINATION WITH THE CORPS WOULD BE REQUIRED. HOWEVER, IF THE STREAMS ARE CONFIRMED TO BE WATERS OF THE US AND IMPACTS ARE PROPOSED, POTENTIAL CORPS PERMITTING STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPMENT ON THESE TRACT INCLUDE COVERAGE BY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS: NATIONWIDE PERMIT (NWP) OR, STANDARD INDIVIDUAL PERMIT (SIP). NATIONWIDE PERMITS ARE GENERALLY LESS CHALLENGING TO OBTAIN THAN A SIP, AND GENERALLY ALLOW FOR IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE US THAT DO NOT EXCEED 0.5 ACRE IN AREA OR EXCEED 300 LINEAR FEET OF ANY STREAM BED. THE LINEAR FOOT LIMIT CAN BE WAIVED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE CORPS FOR LOW QUALITY EPHEMERAL AND INTERMITTENT STREAMS. THE QUALITY OF THE STREAM SHOULD BE ASSESSED DURING A SITE VISIT BY A QUALIFIED WETLAND SCIENTIST. NATIONWIDE PERMITS ONLY AUTHORIZE SINGLE AND COMPLETE PROJECTS. EACH SINGLE AND COMPLETE PROJECT MUST SHOW INDEPENDENT UTILITY. A PROJECT IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE INDEPENDENT UTILITY BY THE CLEAN WATER ACT IF IT WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED ABSENT THE CONSTRUCTION OF OTHER PROJECTS IN THE PROJECT AREA. PORTIONS OF A MULTI PHASE PROJECT THAT DEPEND UPON OTHER PHASES OF THE PROJECT DO NOT HAVE INDEPENDENT UTILITY. PHASES OF A PROJECT THAT WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED EVEN IF THE OTHER PHASES WERE NOT BUILT CAN BE CONSIDERED AS SEPARATE SINGLE AND COMPLETE PROJECTS WITH INDEPENDENT UTILITY. NOTIFICATION TO THE CORPS TYPICALLY RESULTS IN A REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE COMPENSATORY MITIGATION FOR UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE US. COMPLETELY AVOIDING IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE US WOULD RESULT IN NOT HAVING TO NOTIFY THE CORPS. NOTIFICATION WILL REQUIRE A DETAILED PROPOSED JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION AND A COMPLETE PRECONSTRUCTION NOTIFICATION PACKAGE (PCN). AS AN EXAMPLE, NWP 39 (COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTS) AUTHORIZES THE DISCHARGES OF DREDGED OR FILL MATERIAL FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OR EXPANSION OF COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING FOUNDATIONS AND BUILDING PADS AND ATTENDANT FEATURES THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR THE USE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE STRUCTURES. DISCHARGES CANNOT CAUSE THE LOSS OF GREATER THAN 0.5 ACRE OF WATERS OF THE US OR MORE THAN 300 LINEAR FEET OF STREAM BED. A PCN IS REQUIRED TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE CORPS FOR THIS PERMIT. ACTIVITIES WITH IMPACTS BEYOND THE NWP THRESHOLDS MAY BE AUTHORIZED THROUGH A STANDARD INDIVIDUAL PERMIT. A SIP REQUIRES EXTENSIVE OFF SITE ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS, RESOURCE AGENCY REVIEW, AND A PUBLIC NOTICE AMONG ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS BEYOND THOSE OF A NWP. PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR ON SITE, IN KIND MITIGATION DO EXIST. THE MAJORITY OF THESE OPPORTUNITIES EXIST IN THE FORM OF RELOCATION OF EXISTING STREAMS ALONG THE PROPERTY BOUNDARY. IMPACTS TO AQUATIC FEATURES THAT CANNOT BE COMPENSATED FOR ON SITE, CAN GENERALLY BE COMPENSATED FOR THROUGH THE PURCHASE OF MITIGATION BANK CREDITS. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WITH THE 2008 FINAL MITIGATION RULE, THE CORPS PREFERS THE PURCHASE OF BANK CREDITS OVER ON SITE MITIGATION FOR UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS TO AQUATIC RESOURCES. OUR LOCAL DISTRICT, FORT WORTH, HAS IMPLEMENTED WHAT IS LOCALLY CALLED THE RULE. WITH THAT RULE 50% OF THE NECESSARY STREAM MITIGATION CAN BE PURCHASED FROM AN OLDER LEGACY BANK GENERALLY AT A LOWER COST AND THE OTHER 50% HAS TO BE PURCHASED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULE WITH IN KIND BANKING ACTIVITIES (TXRAM), GENERALLY AT A HIGHER PRICE. UNTIL A DETAILED JURISDICTION DETERMINATION IS PERFORMED, WHICH REQUIRES ONSITE INVESTIGATION, IT IS DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE MITIGATION CREDITS THAT MAY BE NEEDED. (Source: Kimley Horn & Associates)
