About this file
This document is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) request for a Jurisdictional Determination (JD) for the Edward Woods Property located in Manning, Clarendon County, South Carolina. The request is submitted by The Brigman Company on behalf of Alliance Consulting Engineers, Inc. for a 27.9-acre property. The primary purpose is to obtain a delineation concurrence from the USACE regarding wetlands and aquatic resources on the site, specifically noting approximately 0.3 acres of non-wetland waters (pond).
The submittal includes multiple exhibits to support the jurisdictional determination, including a vicinity map, USGS topographic map, aerial photographs, soil survey, and National Wetland Inventory exhibits. Field investigations were conducted on June 29, 2023, with soil and vegetation sampling at two upland data points. The documentation indicates that the site does not contain wetlands, with the sampling points classified as upland areas. The report requests that the USACE review the submitted materials and provide a verification letter confirming the findings of the wetland determination.

II. REASON FOR REQUEST (check all that apply):
I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this site which would be designed to avoid all aquatic resources.
I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this site which would be designed to avoid all jurisdictional aquatic resources under Corps authority.
I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this site which may require authorization from the Corps, and the Jurisdictional Determination would be used to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional aquatic resources and as an initial step in a future permitting process.
I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this site which may require authorization from the Corps; this request is accompanied by my permit application and the jurisdictional determination is to be used in the permitting process.
I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities in a navigable water of the U.S. which is subject to the ebb and flow of the tide.
A Corps jurisdictional determination is required in order to obtain my local/state authorization.
I intend to contest jurisdiction over a particular aquatic resource and the request the Corps to confirm that jurisdiction does/does not exist over the aquatic resource on the parcel.
I believe that the site may be comprised entirely of dry land.
Other:_______________________________________________________________________________
*Authorities: Rivers and Harbors Act, Section 10, 33 USC 403; Clean Water Act, Section 404, 33 USC 1344; Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act, Section 103, 33 USC 1413; Regulatory Program of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; Final Rule for 33 CFR Parts 320-332.
Principal Purpose: The information that you provide will be used in evaluating your request to determine whether there are any aquatic resources within the project area subject to federal jurisdiction under the regulatory authorities referenced above.
Routine Uses: This information may be shared with the Department of Justice and other federal, state, and local government agencies, and the public, and may be made available as part of a public notice as required by federal law. Your name and property location where federal jurisdiction is to be determined will be included in the approved jurisdictional determination (AJD), which will be made available to the public on the District's website and on the Headquarters USACE website.
Disclosure: Submission of requested information is voluntary; however, if information is not provided, the request for an jurisdictional determination cannot be evaluated nor can a jurisdictional determination be issued.
III. TYPE OF REQUEST:
1Delineation Concurrence (DC) – A DC provides concurrence that the delineated boundaries of wetlands on a property are a reasonable representation of the aquatic resources on-site. A DC does not address the jurisdictional status of the aquatic resources. (NOTE: A DC is generally the quickest type of standalone request for the Corps to review and process.)
2Approved – An AJD is defined in Corps regulations at 33 CFR 331.2. As explained in further detail in RGL 16-01, an AJD is used to indicate that this office has identified the presence or absence of wetlands and/or other aquatic resources on a site, including their accurate location(s) and boundaries, as well as their jurisdictional status. AJDs are valid for 5 years.
3Preliminary – A PJD is defined in Corps regulations at 33 CFR 331.2. As explained in further detail in RGL 16-01, a PJD is used to indicate that this office has identified the approximate location(s) and boundaries of wetlands and/or other aquatic resources on a site that are presumed to be subject to regulatory jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers. Unlike an AJD, a PJD does not represent a definitive, official determination that there are, or that there are not, jurisdictional aquatic resources on a site, and does not have an expiration date.
4 “No Permit Required” (NPR) Letter- A NPR letter may be provided by the Corps to notify the requestor that an activity will not require a permit (authorization) from the Corps; this letter can only be used if the proposed activity is not a regulated activity, regardless of where the activity may occur. A NPR letter cannot be used to indicate the presence or absence of wetlands and/or other aquatic resources, nor can it be used to determine their jurisdictional status.
NOTE 1: Pre-approved Delineations and/or JDs are NOT a pre-requisite for submitting a DA permit application. Requests for JDs and/or DCs that are not associated with a DA permit application (Standalone Delineation / JD requests) will be reviewed and processed as time allows and based on available resources.
NOTE 2: Although not a requirement, it is recommended that Standalone requests be prepared and submitted by an environmental consultant to expedite the review process.
Select the Appropriate Request:
Pre-Construction Notification or Department of the Army permit application with Delineation only (no written concurrence of delineation) with Delineation Concurrence1 with Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) 3 with Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) 2
Standalone Delineation / Jurisdictional Determination Standalone Delineation / Jurisdictional Determination requests will be reviewed and processed as time allows and based on available resources.
Delineation Concurrence1
Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) 3
Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) 2
I request that the Corps delineate the wetlands and/or other aquatic resources that may be present on my property.
These requests have historically been conducted as a courtesy for private property owners for minor actions. Due to current workload and priorities, the Charleston District Regulatory Division will only provide this service on a limited basis for private individuals on small tracts of land (typically 1 acre or less).
with the attached Pre-Construction Notification or Department of the Army permit application (This may delay processing times. The review of the permit application will not start until the delineation has been completed by the Corps.)
with a Delineation Only, an AJD or PJD
“No Permit Required” (NPR) Letter as I believe my proposed activity is not regulated4
Unclear and require additional information to inform my decision.
IV. LEGAL RIGHT OF ENTRY
By signing below, I am indicating that I have the authority, or am acting as the duly authorized agent of a person or entity with such authority, to and do hereby grant U.S. Army Corps of Engineers personnel right of entry to legally access the property(ies) subject to this request for the purposes of conducting on-site investigations (e.g., digging and refilling shallow holes) and issuing a jurisdictional determination. I acknowledge that my signature is an affirmation that I possess the requisite property rights to request a jurisdictional determination on the properties subject to this request.

Definitions of Four Vegetation Strata:
3. Tree – Woody plants, excluding vines, 3 in. (7.6 cm ) or
4. more in diameter at breast height (DBH), regardless of
5. height.
6. Sapling/Shrub – Woody plants, excluding vines, less
7. than 3 in. DBH and greater than 3.28 ft (1 m) tall.
8. Herb – All herbaceous (non-woody) plants, regardless
9. of size, and woody plants less than 3.28 ft tall.
10. Woody vine – All woody vines greater than 3.28 ft in 11.
