APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions, Wetland Restoration Program
Dear Mr. Gutierrez:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 438 linear feet of
perennial streams and 0.33 acre of waters in order to construct the Northlake Centre Parkway in Mecklenburg County, as
described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on August 28, 2003. After reviewing your
application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3404. This
Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In
addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not
limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will
expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory
mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification and the additional conditions listed below:
1. We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the Wetland Restoration Program in order to compensate for the
impacts to streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R .0402 and 15A NCAC 2B .0242(7), this contribution will satisfy
our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h) and 15A NCAC 2B.0233(10). Until the
Wetland Restoration Program receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR - Wetlands Restoration
Program), stream impacts (including fill) shall not occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell should be contacted at [phone] if you
have any questions concerning the Wetland Restoration Program. You have one month from the date of issuance of the
404 Permit to make this payment. For accounting purposes, this Certification authorizes the fill of 438 linear feet of
perennial streams and 0.33 acre of waters in the Catawba River Basin, Cataloging Unit 03050101, and 438 linear feet of
stream mitigation is required. Please be aware that the Wetland Restoration Program (WRP) rules require rounding of
wetland impacts to the nearest foot (15A NCAC 2R .0503(b));
2. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or
areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this
letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). A sample deed notification format can be downloaded from
the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands ;
3. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered.
Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal profile) are to be
maintained above and below locations of each culvert. The culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic
life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the
appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be
removed and re-installed correctly.

The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where
practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods; If rip-rap is necessary, it shall not be placed in the
stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of Water Quality.
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed to adequately
accommodate high water or flood conditions.
Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion" form to
notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall
complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion
of the project. Please send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation
along with the Certificate of Completion form.

VII. Impact Just cation (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Meetings were held with the USACE and NCDWO to review avoidance and minimization
measures taken to avoid and minimize impacts to streams and wetlands. These included re-
aligmnent to cross creeks at perpendicular angles and to avoid bottomland hardwood wetlands;
avoidance of local SWIM Buffers, avoidance of stream confluences-, tightening crossections_and
use of headwalls Overall the length of stream impacts (including the pond) was reduced from
proximately 900 linear feet to approximately 638 linear feet (including the pond area). There
will be strict adherence to an approved sedimentation and erosion control and strict scrutiny by
the City of Charlotte Construction limits will be clearly marked to minimize disturbances and
prevent unauthorized stream wetland, and /or buffer impacts.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
Page 6 of 9
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmmide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
The proposed project has been aligned to avoid SWIM buffers except at road crossings.
Creek crossings are at perpendicular angles Bottomland hardwood wetlands and stream
confluences are avoided.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http•//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/3vrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
638 linear feet of stream mitigation is proposed to meet NCDWQ mitigation requirements.
This includes the drained pond that will be drained. Mitigation will be provided based on a
1:1 basis - 638 if @ $200/lf = $127,600
438 linear feet of stream mitigation is proposed to meet USACE mitigation requirements for
Crossing #1 and Crossing #2. Based on a meeting with the USACE mitigation will not be
required for the pond crossing. The pond will be drained permanently and it is expected that
wetlands and streams will form in the remaining pond bed. Mitigation will be provided as
discussed on a 2:1 basis - 4381f X 2 = 8761f @ 200/lf = $175,200
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 876 linear feet (highest figure)
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):

Re: Northlake Centre Parkway, Mecklenburg County, Charlotte, NC
Dear Sirs:
On behalf of my client, Faison Properties, I am requesting the eligibility to utilize Nationwide Permit #14
for two separate crossings of creeks. As part of the rezoning requirement for Northlake Mall, the developer
is required to construct this thoroughfare. As indicated in the application and depicted on the attached maps,
each road crossing will be designed to minimize stream impacts to the extent feasible. The alignment of the
Northlake Centre Parkway was modified to avoid a bottomland hardwood wetland and a confluence of two
streams in the planning process. The developer is proposing to utilize the NC Wetland Restoration for the
required stream mitigation. Stormwater management for the proposed parkway includes pre-formed scour
holes and level spreaders to diffuse stormwater over the preserved stream buffers. The project avoids
impacts to the Charlotte Mecklenburg SWIM buffers, except at road crossings.
Site Specific Information
The site is within the Long Creek sub-basin of the Catawba River Basin - Water Classification C. The
majority of the site is moderately sloping to steep agricultural land and timbered woodland in secondary
succession. The forested and scrub/shrub riparian areas are dominated by Facultative, Facultative Wet
species. Trees include willow oak, green ash, red maple, black willow, alder, silky dogwood, spicebush, and
sweetgum. Understory and herbaceous strata includes smilax, microstegium, sedges, soft rush, and others.
Herbaceous and scrub/shrub vegetation is more dominant in areas subject to constant saturation or flooding,
and areas in earlier succession. Monacan soils may have hydric inclusions according to the Natural
Resource Conservation Service, Technical Guide-Section II-A-2, June 1991.
Summary of Waters of the U.S.
Wetland delineation was conducted to determine the actual extents and surveyed for planning and study
purposes.
Methodology
Preliminary identification and delineation of the Jurisdictional Waters on the site were determined
according to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, Technical Report Y-87-1, 1987, with
Appendices. Preliminary data gathering included review and interpretation of topographic maps; USDA
Soil Conservation Survey; aerial photographs, and preliminary site visits to selected areas. Then the Routine
On-Site Determination Method was utilized to determine the upper boundary of the wetlands. In order to
make a positive wetland determination indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and wetland
hydrology must be identified as described in the manual. The wetland boundary and surface waters were
identified in the field by Leonard S. Rindner, PWS and were reviewed and verified by the USACE (Steve
Chapin). The mapping has been used for planning and potential permitting purposes.
Vegetative Communities
A majority of the site is in various stages of old field succession from formerly farmed areas and woodland
in succession from timbering activities.
Bottomland Hardwood/Headwater Forest
The Bottomland Hardwood and Headwater Forests on this site have developed in the moderately sloping
drainage ways. Species, which occur in these areas, include tulip-poplar (dominant species), sweetgum, red
maple, hackberry, red oak, ironwood, and other typical species that tolerate these wet and shallow root
conditions. Common understory trees and shrubs include dogwood, and black cherry. Invasive species such
as privet and Russian olive are prevalent. Woody vines include poison ivy, and greenbriar. The herbaceous
layer is variable based on exposure to light. Species include sedge and rush species, jewelweed, and others
Open Field
This includes all cleared non-wetland areas dominated by herbaceous plants. These have been periodically
mowed and are dominated by pasture grasses and perennial herbs including broomsedge, goldenrod, and
bush clover. Other areas have been undisturbed for longer and are in transition to dominant species such as
blackberry, greenbriar, redcedar, pines, and saplings.
Mired Forest
The non-wetland forested areas of the site are dominated by mixed forest. The Mixed Forest is
characterized by a mixture of canopy species of pines and hardwoods. Small areas within these forest areas
may have a predominance of pine or hardwoods. Pines include shortleaf pine, Virginia pine, and loblolly
pine, with eastern redcedar. Hardwoods include pine, sweetgum, red maple, red oak, white oak, tulip poplar,
hickory, and other common species. The subcanopy contains saplings and seedlings of canopy species.
Other subcanopy species include black cherry, holly, dogwood, elm, and privet. Woody vines common in
the understory include poison ivy, muscadine grape, honeysuckle, and other herbaceous and woody species.
Hydrophytic Vegetation has been identified according to the National List of Plant Species That Occur in
Wetlands: Southeast Region 2), US Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service.

Preliminary Discussions with USA CE and the NCDWQ
The developers are committed to creating an environmentally responsible project. The plan and
commitments made in this section reflect a positive response to the preliminary discussions, determinations,
and concerns of the regulatory agencies. Except for temporary construction and development impacts, we
believe that the proposed project with the proposed mitigation will not cause significant cumulative impacts
to the ecological functions or values of Jurisdictional Waters of the United States. Meetings were held with
the USACE and NCDWQ to review avoidance and minimization measures taken to avoid and minimize
impacts to streams and wetlands. These included re-alignment to cross creeks at perpendicular angles and to
avoid bottomland hardwood wetlands; avoidance of local SWIM Buffers; avoidance of stream confluences;
tightening cross-sections and use of headwalls. Overall, the length of stream impacts (including the pond),
was reduced from approximately 900 linear feet to approximately 638 linear feet (including the pond area).
There will be strict adherence to an approved sedimentation and erosion control and strict scrutiny by the
City of Charlotte. Construction limits will be clearly marked to minimize disturbances and prevent
unauthorized stream, wetland, and /or buffer impacts.

Minimization of Construction Impacts
The following Best Management Practices will be employed to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional Waters.
These will include:
a) Siltation Barriers; Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches
b) Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites
c) Methods to prevent short-term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during
construction of the project.
d) Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan.
Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion
control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish
and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near
surface waters.
e) As required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent
"live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened.
MITIGATION PLAN
The mitigation plan is proposed to minimize the loss of stream habitat by the proposed road crossings.
Road crossings requiring multiple culverts will be designed to maintain unimpeded normal flow through
one of the culverts.
Stream Mitigation - Wetland Restoration Program
The proposed project has been aligged to avoid SWIM buffers except at road crossings. Creek crossings
are at perpendicular angles Bottomland hardwood wetlands and stream confluences are avoided.
638 linear feet of stream mitigation is proposed to meet NCDWQ mitigation requirements. This includes the
drained pond that will be drained. Mitigation will be provided based on a 1:1 basis - 638 if @ $200/if =
$127,600.
438 linear feet of stream mitigation is proposed to meet USACE mitigation requirements for Crossing #1
and Crossing #2. Based on a meeting with the USACE mitigation will not be required for the pond crossing.
The pond will be drained permanently and it is expected that wetlands and streams will form in the
remaining pond bed. Mitigation will be provided as discussed on a 2:1 basis - 438 If X 2 = 876 If @ 200/lf
_ $175,200.
Stream mitigation proposed :876 linear feet (highest figure) @ 200/If = $175,200
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Stormdrainage from the project will diffused over the buffers utilizing pre-formed scour holes and level
spreaders per NCDWQ guidelines. These plans have been designed by Barbara H. Mulkey Engineering
Consultants, Raleigh, NC - Contact Jon Scarce at 919-851-1912. It is anticipated that the adjacent
properties to the roadway not controlled by Faison Properties will develop into office, retail, distribution
warehouse, manufacturing, and related uses based on zoning and growth patterns. This was reviewed with
Todd St. John and John Hennessy at a meeting on July24, 2003. All development adjacent to the roadway is
subject to local SWIM buffer ordinance. The primary streams include a 100' buffer plus 50% of the
floodway fringe and 50' SWIM buffers. All parcels that require a 401 Water Quality Certification will
require a stormwater management plan. A substantial portion of the area is within one mile of Long Creek -
a 303d listed stream. As required, these sites will be required to provide treatment as extended detention
wetlands, bio-retention, and/or stormwater treatment ponds with filter strips. Typically parcel that require
rezoning will be required to provide a stormwater management plan that includes treatment utilizing bio-
retention and other means - contact Rusty Rozelle -Water Quality Program Manager. 704 - 336- 5500.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg strictly manages and enforces sedimentation and erosion control plans. The adjacent
mall project DWQ - 02-1204 is required to provide a stormwater management plan. The plans incorporate
extended detention wetlands and bio-retention. These plans are currently under review by Todd St. John -
NCDWQ Wetlands Unit.

THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
Federally listed plant and animal species with endangered or threatened status are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has identified Schweinitz's sunflower
and the Carolina heelsplitter. Schweinitz's sunflower thrives in full sun characteristic of succession fields,
margins, and forested openings. Based on a site reconnaissance, habitat conducive to support the
Schweinitz's sunflower is not present in the project area. The Carolina heelsplitter is a freshwater mussel,
which prefers shaded areas either, in a ponded portion of a small stream or in runs along steep banks with
moderate current. Primary habitat is waters less than three feet deep with a soft mud, muddy sand, or shady
gravelly substrate. It is normally restricted to protected silted areas or under banks especially associated
with obstructions such as stumps or fallen trees. Its current distribution according to the US Fish and
Wildlife Service is limited to portions of two streams -- Goose Creek and Waxhaw Creek -- and a small
river originating from rural areas in Union County. Therefore it is not expected to occur on this site.
AQUATIC HABITAT
The aquatic systems in the project area consist of tributaries in the Catawba River Basin. A variety of
wildlife is supported by these systems including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects,
mollusks, and crustaceans. Therefore strict adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control
plan will be maintained during the construction period in order to control degradation of water quality
downstream and protect the areas to be preserved. The Carolina Darter (Etheostoma collis) is a fish that
inhabits small streams such as those found in the project area and may occur in Culvert Branch. This
species has a federal status of Proposed Special Concern and a state status of Special Concern. The species
prefers small clear streams of less than 15' width with moderate to swift current and a sand/gravel benthic
composition. It apparently tolerates a wide range of water quality conditions and vegetation types adjacent
to the streams and appears resistant to pollution. Therefore, strict adherence to an approved erosion and
sedimentation control plan will be maintained during the construction period in order to control degradation
of water quality.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
The project site is disturbed from previous agricultural activities and timbering activities. The State Historic
Preservation Office may review of the USGS maps at the Office of State Archaeology and the Survey and
Planning Office of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to determine if sites are indicated
on the National Historic Register within the project area.
CONCLUSION
Based on the value of the wetlands and streams on this site, the developer through sensitive site planning
has chosen to balance the site's economic viability with its environmental value. The goal of the Site Plan
and Mitigation Plan is to help balance the environmental consequences of this development by minimizing
impacts, protecting waters downstream of the project and providing funds to restore degraded streams in the
Catawba River Basin.

ROAD CROSSING #3
FINAL DESIGN OF ROAD CROSSINGS WILL DE
DESIGNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING
FEDERAL AND STATE CONDITIONS
e. For all NWPs that involve the construction of culverts, measures will be included
in the construction that will promote the safe passage of fish and other aquatic organisms.
All culverts in the 20 CAMA coastal counties must be buried to a depth of one foot below the
Ro&ar
a rm sin
Fmops;.?t.
Bottom
bed of the stream or wetland. For all culvert construction activities, the dimension, pattern, and
profile of the stream, (above and below a pipe or culvert), should not be modified by widening
the stream channel or by reducing the depth of the stream. Culvert inverts will be buried at least
one foot below the bed of the stream for culverts greater than 48 inches in diameter. For culverts
48 inches in diameter or smaller, culverts must be buried below the bed of the stream to a depth
equal to or greater than 20 percent of the diameter of the culvert. Bottomless arch culverts will
satisfy this condition. A waiver from the depth specifications in this Regional Condition may be
requested in writing. The waiver will only be issued if it can be demonstrated that the impacts of
complying with this Regional Condition would result in more adverse impacts to the aquatic
environment.

3. Additional Regional Conditions Applicable to this Specific Nationwide Permit.
a. Natural channel design must be applied to the maximum extent practicable for
stream relocations. The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission and the N.C. Division of Water
Quality provides Guidelines that are available to assist in the planning and design.
b. Bank-full flows (or less) shall be accommodated through maintenance of the
Appmdch bill
ri?ia ? to ANUMdae
t Stu;=
Bloc kaoa Bottom
existing bank-full channel cross sectional area. Additional culverts at such crossings shall be
allowed only to receive flows exceeding bank-full.
c. Flows exceeding bank-full shall be accommodated by installing culverts at the
floodplain elevation where adjacent floodplain is available.
d. NWP 14 cannot be used for private projects located in tidal waters or tidal wetlands.
e. The activities associated with NWP 14 require a pre-construction notification if they
will result in the loss of greater than 150 total linear feet of perennial streambed or intermittent
stream that exhibits important aquatic function(s).
AppmoechFr?l
Elevation
9. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed
below the elevation of the streambed to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life unless
it can be shown to DWQ that providing passage would be impractical. Design and placement of
culverts including open bottom or bottomless arch culverts and other structures inchuding
temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
aggradation, degradation or significant changes in hydrology of wetlands or stream beds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is
required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested to do so in
writing by DWQ. Additionally, when roadways, causeways or other fill projects are constructed
across FEMA-designated floodways or wetlands, openings such as culverts or bridges must be
provided to maintain the natural hydrology of the system as well as prevent constriction of the
floodway that may result in aggradation, degradation or significant changes in hydrology of
streams or wetlands;

A Survey of Plant Communities and Plant Species of Concern
Reames Road Mall Site
We have evaluated the property at the northwest corner of the junction of Reames
Rd. and I-77. The work was performed on March 26, 1999. The objective was to
determine the plant communities, their quality and to look for the possible presence of
plant species of concern. The Mecklenburg County list of species of concern, attached,
from the NC Natural Heritage Program, July 1998, was used for comparison.
The site is for the most part highly disturbed, parts having been timbered,
functioning in agriculture, for utilities and for residences. We did not find any exemplary
plant communities. Much of the area is scrub, early to middle secondary growth with a
closed canopy, pine plantation or open field. The best forests are along the lower slopes
and the floodplain, but these have been timbered in the past, although there are some
large trees. We used an aerial photograph of the site, taken in 1990, to locate the
disturbed areas and to determine the length of recent past disturbance.
We primarily examined the open areas, since these are the most likely to provide
enough sunlight for survival for the species of concern for Mecklenburg County.
However, we did look at the floodplains. The following habitats were examined:
(1) The roadside of Reames Rd., Mt. Holly-Huntersville Rd., Alexanderana
Rd. and the numerous unpaved road ROWs leading to fields and utility lines.
(2) The utility line ROWS, including electrical and the gas line.
(3) Margins of lawns and barnyards.
(4) Margins of agricultural fields.
(5) Areas that were recently timbered and still in early succession.
(6) Floodplains along the creeks.
Although the survey was in early spring, based on our experience, we would have
been able to recognize the Federally endangered Schweinitz's sunflower, Helianthus
schweinitzii. We did not find any of this species. We did locate the Small-flowered
sunflower, Helianthus microcephalus, providing evidence that the sunflowers can be
identified in the winter condition. The Mecklenburg County list of plant species of
concern lists 16 other species of vascular plants. Some of the fall blooming species could
have been identified if present. These include Aster georgianus, Gnaphalium helleri var.
helleri, Lotus helleri, Silphium perfoliatum, Silphium terebinthinaceum and Solidago
rigida ssp. glabrata. None were located. We saw no specimens of Isoetes in the wet
depressions along the creek. Some of the spring blooming species are close to flowering
at this time. These include Anemone berlandieri, A. carohniana, Cardamine dissecta,
and Dodecatheon meadia var. meadia. These species were not detected either.
We have no recommendations regarding plant communities or plant species of
concern for the project.

These ranks are determined by The Nature Conservancy's system of measuring rarity and threat status. "Global" refers to
worldwide ranks and "State" to statewide ranks.
STATE RANK DEFINITIONS
S1 Critically imperiled in North Carolina because of extreme rarity or otherwise very vulnerable to extirpation in the state.
S2 Imperiled in North Carolina because of rarity or otherwise vulnerable to extirpation in the state.
S3 Rare or uncommon in North Carolina.
S4 Apparently secure in North Carolina, with many occurrences.
S5 Demonstrably secure in North Carolina and essentially ineradicable under present conditions.
SA Accidental or casual; one to several records for North Carolina, but the state is outside the normal range of the species.
SH Of historical occurrence in North Carolina, perhaps not having been verified in the past 25 years, and suspected to be still
extant in the state.
SR Reported from North Carolina, but without persuasive documentation for either accepting or rejecting the report.
SX Believed to be extirpated from North Carolina.
SU Possibly in peril in North Carolina, but status uncertain; more information is needed.
S? Unranked, or rank uncertain.
B Rank of breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only.
_N Rank of non-breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only.
_Z_ Population is not of significant conservation concem; applies to transitory, migratory species.
GLOBAL RANK DEFINITIONS
G1 Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity or otherwise very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range.
G2 Imperiled globally because of rarity or otherwise vulnerable to extinction throughout its range.
G3 Either very rare and local throughout its range, or found locally in a restricted area.
G4 Apparently secure globally, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range (especially at the periphery).
G5 Demonstrably secure globally, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range (especially at the periphery).
GH Of historical occurrence throughout its range.
GX Believed to be extinct throughout its range.
GU Possibly in peril, but status uncertain; more information is needed.
G? Unranked, or rank uncertain.
G_Q Of questionable taxonomic status.
T_ Status of subspecies or variety; the G rank refers to the species as a whole.
ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS
Elements following county names marked with one or two asterisks indicate obscure or historic records.
* Obscure record: the date the element was last observed in the county is uncertain.
** Historic record: the element was lasrobserved in the county more than 50 years ago.
Scientific and common names listed in parentheses are synonyms listed in US Fish and Wildlife Service, 1992, Endangered and
Threatened Species of the Southeastern United States (The Red Book).

Comments:
--Staff visited the site on September 24th. The appiicant requests approval for three road crossings. The
crossings are to allow for the construction of a parkway that is required as a condition for the construction of a
new mall located at exit 23 on 1-77. The parkway will extend from Reames Rd. to Alexanderana Rd. to the north,
Four lanes are proposed for the parkway with total impacts to the streams of 638 linear ft.
--Crossing #1 (200 linear ft, of impact) is across Dixon Branch, the largest of the streams to be crossed. It is 10
to 15 ft. wide, with banks approximately 10 ft, high. The stream substrate is sandy. It is a relatively straight
stream with little to moderate meandering. Crossing #2 (238 linear ft, of impact) is across an unnamed stream.
It is 2 to 3 ft wide with banks of similar measurement. The stream bed is also sandy. The last crossing (#3, 200
linear ft, of im act) is across a small stream that is currently ponded. The pond is proposed to be drained.
--The parkway has been relocated from the initial plan to avoid portions of a wetland (crossing #1) and the
convergence of two streams at crossing #2. Recommend approval,
