NHC Environmental Health, Dustin Fenske 910-798-6732
1. According to Environmental Health records other properties in this area are on or have been on
private drinking water wells. If CFPUA cannot provide public water then a well permit will be
necessary. Depending on the nature of the business and employee number the well may be
permitted through NHC Environmental Health or NC DEQ Public Water Supply. Appropriate
applications and permits must be obtained through the correct agency dependent on public
water availability.
2. Site plan reflects connection to a septic system. The septic system design wastewater flow will
be highly dependent upon the nature of the business and employee number. Soils appear to be
well drained in this area. Applicant may want to obtain the services of a private Soil Scientist to
ensure the area given for septic drain field is appropriate for the wastewater flow. Applications
and permitting can be submitted to NHC Environmental Health or an approved Authorized
Onsite Wastewater Evaluator.
NHC Addressing, Katherine May 910-798-7443
1. Address has been assigned as 311 Metro Circle, Wilmington, NC 28401
NHC Soil & Water Conservation, Brian Dadson 910-798-7138
1. The soil is predominantly Kureb sand (Kr).
2. According to the booklet “Wilmington/New Hanover Classification of soils for Septic Tank
Suitability,” Kureb is a Class I soil.
3. The Soil Survey of New Hanover County lists Kureb as excessively well drained.
4. Kureb is on the Hydric Soils “B” list which means there may be areas of wetland included in the
mapping units. An adequate drainage and maintenance plan is needed for suitable housing.
5. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has federal jurisdiction over 404 Permits and the NC
Department of Environmental Quality, Water Quality Division, has state jurisdiction over 401
Permits under the Clean Water Act. Before disturbing possible wetland areas, developers should
contact these agencies to stay in compliance with State and Federal regulations.

FROM: Dru Harrison, Director
RE: Metro Circle - Birdbros
I HAVE REVIEWED THIS PLAN AS REQUESTED AND HAVE THESE COMMENTS: The soil is predominantly Kureb sand (Kr).
According to the booklet “Wilmington/New Hanover Classification of soils for Septic Tank Suitability,” Kureb is a Class I soil.
The Soil Survey of New Hanover County lists Kureb as excessively well drained.
Kureb is on the Hydric Soils “B” list which means there may be areas of wetland
included in the mapping units. An adequate drainage and maintenance plan is needed for suitable housing.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has federal jurisdiction over 404 Permits and the NC Department of Environmental Quality, Water Quality Division, has state
jurisdiction over 401 Permits under the Clean Water Act. Before disturbing possible wetland areas, developers should contact these agencies to stay in compliance with
State and Federal regulations.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil
line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed
scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.

Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.
This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as
of the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: New Hanover County, North Carolina
Survey Area Data: Version 26, Sep 9, 2024
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales
1:50,000 or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Nov 8, 2022—Dec 1,
2022
The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor
shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.
