Comments:
Staff visited the site on October 30th. The project is for roadwav/interchange improvements near the
Billy Graham Parkway/Wilkinson Blvd. interchange, The applicant requests approval for impacts of
530 linear feet of stream.
-mite A, 130 linear ft., Westport Rd. stream crossing: This is to connect Westport a
cul de sac) with Mulberry church Rd. This is a small perennial stream approximately 5 ft, in width
with a bank height of 3 ft, above the stream bed.
--Site B, 135 linear ft., Mulberry Church Rd., culvert replacement and rip rap: The headwaters of an
intermittent to perennial channel, A "ditch" located on the east side of Mulberry Church Rd. that
discharges at the culvert crossing under the road is to have rip rap installed. On the down stream
side of the culvert the channel takes an immediate right angle (south) and flows along the road until it
converges with what appears to be the original channel. There is an obvious chance in channel
morphology, The section of the stream above the original channel is to be pined.

1.0 Project Summary

The Billy Graham Parkway/Wilkinson Boulevard Interchange Northeast Quadrant Improvements
project began as a result of the City of Charlotte's 1998 Street Improvement Bonds approved in
. November 1998. Attachment A - Figure 1 shows the site location. This project will provide for
the reconstruction of the current roadway system within the northeast quadrant of the grade-
separated intersection of Billy Graham Parkway (Route 4/US 521) and Wilkinson Boulevard (US
• 29/74), located in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The City of Charlotte is proposing to extend Westport Road to Mulberry Church Road, and to
- relocate the intersection of Mulberry Church Road and Wilkinson Boulevard west of its current
- position. The primary purpose of this project is to improve connectivity between Wilkinson
Boulevard and Billy Graham Parkway without loss of access to adjacent properties.

- The project is located in the Lower Catawba River Basin (Hydrologic Unit No. 03050103) and
contains Taggart Creek, unnamed perennial tributaries to Taggart Creek, and an intermittent
tributary to Taggart Creek. On behalf of the City of Charlotte, Kinley-Horn and Associates
(KHA) is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification application (PCN) in accordance with
Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13 and Water Quality Certification Nos. 3404 and
3376. Pre-Construction Notification Applications and accompanying permit drawings pursuant to
Nationwide Permit Nos. 14 and 3 are included as Attachment B. A "Request for Jurisdictional
- Determination" has been included with this submittal (Attachment C). The project area was
reviewed by U.S. Army Corps of Engineer representative Steve Chapin on December 9, 1999. A
copy of the meeting minutes from this review is included as Attachment D.
-
Due to the linear nature of the road project, stream impacts are unavoidable; however, an effort
has been made to reduce impacts by crossing the channels as close to perpendicular as feasible.
Attachment E (Project Drawing 1 of 12) shows the locations of the proposed stream crossings for
. the project. Proposed unavoidable impacts from the project include:
. ¦ A 130-linear feet (If) culvert crossing of an unnamed tributary to Taggart Creek for the
proposed Westport Road extension (Site A)
¦ A 265-1f culvert crossing of another unnamed tributary to Taggart Creek for the realignment of
Mulberry Church Road (Site B)
¦ A 135-1f piping of an intermittent, unimportant aquatic function channel (Site C)
¦ 130-1f of inlet/outlet protection along the western bank of Taggart Creek associated with the
. interchange improvements at Wilkinson Blvd. (Site D)
Total project impacts consist of approximately 395 if of perennial stream enclosure, 130 If of
. perennial stream inlet/outlet protection, and approximately 135 if of intermittent, unimportant
aquatic function channel enclosure.
As compensatory mitigation for these unavoidable impacts, the City of Charlotte proposes on-site
mitigation in conjunction with utilizing mitigation credits from the Hope Park Branch Stream
Restoration project (USACE Action ID No. 200130492). For on-site mitigation, the City of
Charlotte will remove existing dual 96-inch culverts located on the section of existing Mulberry
. Church Road that will be abandoned with the proposed road relocation and conduct 65 if of
. stream restoration at this reach of Taggart Creek. At a proposed 1:1 mitigation ratio, this will
allow for 65 if of stream restoration credits.

-1-
W
- The City of Charlotte proposes to mitigate for the balance of the impacts (330 If) through the
Hope Park Branch Stream Restoration project. This project is located in the same hydrologic unit
as the channels being impacted as a result of the Billy Graham Parkway/Wilkinson Boulevard
- Improvement project. The Hope Park Branch Stream restoration plan was approved by the
USACE on March 13, 2001 and was implemented in the summer of 2002. The City has
previously utilized 1,760 if of Hope Park's available 3,661 if of credit on separate City projects.
• At a 2:1 mitigation ratio, this project will utilize 660 if of mitigation credits from the Hope Park
- Branch project leaving a balance of 1,241 if of available credit.
2.0 Jurisdictional Stream Determinations
Taggart Creek (Site D) and the unnamed tributaries to Taggart Creek (Sites A and B) were
. determined to be perennial based on the presence of channel flow, stream substrate, and
. macrobenthos (Attachment F). Taggart Creek at Site D scored a 40 out of a possible 71 points on
the NCDWQ Stream Classification form and has a drainage area of approximately 524-acres.
The tributary to Taggart Creek at Site B also scored a 40 on the stream classification form. The
- other referenced tributary to Taggart Creek at Site A scored a 28 on the stream classification
form. This tributary has a drainage area of approximately 154-acres. Photographs of these
stream segments are included in Attachment H - Photos 2, 5 and 6.
A secondary unnamed tributary to Taggart Creek, Site C, was determined to be an intermittent,
unimportant channel due to its lack of macrobenthos, fish, amphibians, and other aquatic life.
. This channel scored a 13 on the NCDWQ Stream Classification form. Photographs of this stream
segment are included in Attachment H - Photos 3 and 4.
3.0 Agency Correspondence
3.1 Cultural Resources
During the early planning phases of the project, a letter was submitted to the State Historic
. Preservation Office (dated April 12, 1999) to determine the presence of any areas of architectural,
. historic, or archaeological significance that may be affected by the proposed project. The North
Carolina Department of Cultural Resources responded in a letter dated May 6, 1999, stating they
had conducted a review of the project and found no properties of architectural, historic, or
. archaeological significance that would be affected by the project and therefore had no comment
on the proposed project. Correspondence from the North Carolina Department of Cultural
Resources has been included in Attachment G.
a
a 3.2 Protected Species
During the initial planning stages of the project, correspondence was forwarded to the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Natural Heritage Program to
determine the presence of any federally protected species or critical habitats within the area of the
. proposed project. Correspondence from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program, dated
April 28, 1999, stated that there were no records of rare species, high quality natural
communities, or Significant Natural Heritage Areas (SNHAs) within a 1.0 mile radius of the
. proposed project. Correspondence from the NC Natural Heritage Program has been included in
Attachment G.
. -2-
4.0 Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Due to the linear nature of this project, the proposed Billy Graham Parkway/Wilkinson Boulevard
Interchange Northeast Quadrant Improvements project will result in unavoidable impacts to
jurisdictional waters of the U.S. Attachment E contains project drawings that detail each
proposed impact and show a plan view, protection details, and a profile view of each stream
crossing. Table 1 is a summary of the proposed impacts.

Each of the proposed culvert and pipe crossings will be buried one foot below the streambed to
promote the safe passage of fish and other aquatic organisms and will convey all flow under
normal stream conditions in accordance with the Wilmington District Regional Conditions.
Field data collected at tributary to Taggart Creek in the vicinity of Site B indicates the bankfull
measurements of the channel in the immediate upstream vicinity of the proposed culvert are as
follows: 8' channel bottom width, 15' bankfull width, and an average stream depth 17. In
accordance with the regional conditions, a 2-foot sill will be placed in one of the double 8'x 11'
RCBCs proposed for Site B in order to maintain bank-full flows (or less) through the existing
bank-full channel cross sectional area. The 2-foot sill (exclusive of the 1-foot embedment) would
allow the second culvert to only receive flows exceeding bank-full.
-3-
. Field data collected at the UT to Taggart Creek in the vicinity of Site A indicates the bankfull
measurements of the channel in the immediate upstream vicinity of the proposed culvert are as
follows: 8' channel bottom width, 10' bankfull width, average channel depth 15 to 1.8'.
. Hydraulic analysis was conducted on the proposed 8' x 6' RCBC and it was determined that this
- design approximates the existing channel and will maintain existing bankfull flows as well as
large storm event (the culvert was designed to accommodate the 50-year design flow).
Consideration of twin 24" equalization pipes was evaluated as specified in the regional
. conditions, but it was determined that these additional pipes provided no hydraulic benefit and
would have a high potential for obstruction by floating storm debris and could become a future
maintenance issue.

a 5.0 Compensatory Mitigation
As compensatory mitigation for these unavoidable impacts, the City of Charlotte proposes on-site
mitigation in conjunction with utilizing mitigation credits from the Hope Park Branch Stream
. Restoration project (USAGE Action ID No. 200130492). For on-site mitigation, the City of
. Charlotte will remove existing dual 96-inch culverts located on the section of existing Mulberry
Church Road that will be abandoned with the proposed road relocation and conduct 65 if of
stream restoration at this reach of Taggart Creek (Attachment E -Project drawing 1 of 12). At a
. proposed 1:1 mitigation ratio, this will allow for 651f of stream restoration credits.
The City of Charlotte proposes to mitigate for the balance of the impacts (330 If) through the
Hope Park Branch Stream Restoration project. This project is located in the same hydrologic unit
. as the channels being impacted as a result of the Billy Graham Parkway/Wilkinson Boulevard
Improvement project. The Hope Park Branch stream restoration plan was approved by the
USACE on March 13, 2001 and was implemented in the summer of 2002. The City has
. previously utilized 1,760 if of Hope Park's available 3,661 if of credit on separate City projects.
At a 2:1 mitigation ratio, this project will utilize 6601f of mitigation credits from the Hope Park
Branch project leaving a balance of 1,241 if of available credit.

0 6.0 Cumulative Impacts
9
. The 401 Water Quality Certification Program (15A NCAC 2H. 0506(b)(4) and (c)(4) and the
Isolated Wetland Permit Program (15A NCAC 2H..1300) require that the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) - Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) determine that a project "does not result in cumulative impacts, based upon past or
. reasonably anticipated future impacts that cause or will cause a violation of downstream water
quality standards." Cumulative impact is defined as those "environmental impacts resulting from
incremental effects of an activity when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable
. future activities regardless of what entities undertake such other actions" (taken from 15A NCAC
1A which are the rules implementing the State Environmental Policy Act).
Interchange improvement and relocation projects along existing roads in urban areas generally
have a low potential for cumulative impacts since these facilities are already providing access to
. properties, and in many cases these properties have already been developed or approved for
development. Such is the case with the Billy Graham Parkway/Wilkinson Boulevard Interchange
Northeast Quadrant Improvements project. Surrounding land uses in the study area are primarily

-4-
industrial and commercial. A majority of the undeveloped forested areas within the study area
are located within the 100-year floodplain of Taggart Creek and its associated tributaries.
Attachment A - Figure 2 contains a 2002 aerial base map of the study area showing the existing
development in the area. A majority of the study area is currently zoned Light Industrial (I-1)
with the remaining area zoned for Neighborhood Business (B-1) and Distributive Business (B-D).
With such a majority of land within the project area already developed, the proposed project
improvements should neither induce further development nor cause a violation of downstream
water quality standards.

Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (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.
Stream crossings were as close to perpendicular as feasible. Culverts will be buried one foot
below the bed of the streams.
The minimal amount of rip-rap was utilized per compliance with erosion control design
measures to protect and stabilize the inlet/outlet structures at Site D. In addition, the coring
Page 7 of 13
technique used to add the second culvert avoids impacts to the stream channel versus the
alternative of replacing the existing structure with a larger structure.
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
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stn-ngide.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.
As compensatory mitigation for these unavoidable impacts, the City proposes on-site
mitigation in conjunction with utilizing mitigation credits from the Hope Park Branch Stream
Restoration project (USACE Action ID No.200130492). For on-site mitigation, The City
will remove existing 96-inch culverts located on the section of existing Mulberry Church
Page 8 of 13
Road that will be abandoned with the proposed road relocation and conduct 65 If of stream
restoration at this reach of Taggart Creek (Attachment E- project drawing 1 of 12). At a
proposed 1:1 mitigation ratio, this will allow for 65 if of stream restoration credits.
The City proposes to mitigate for the balance of the impacts (330 If) through the Hope Park
Branch Stream Restoration project. This project is located in the same hydrologic unit as the
channels being impacted as a result of the Billy Graham Parkway/Wilkinson Boulevard
Improvement project. The Hope Park Branch stream restoration plan was approved by the
USACE on March 13, 2001 and was implemented in the summer of 2002. The City has
previously utilized 1,760 if of Hope Park's available 3,661 if of credit on separate City
projects. At a 2:1 mitigation ratio, this project will utilize 660 if of mitigation credits from
the Hope Park Branch project leaving a balance of 1,241 if of available credit.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):
IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ? No X If you answered "yes", provide the following information:

Date: December 9, 1999
Location: On-site
Purpose: Review US Army Corps of Engineers Permitting Requirements for Proposed Project
Meeting Summary:
A meeting with the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) was conducted at the site of the Wilkinson
Boulevard/Billy Graham Parkway Interchange Improvements on December 9, 1999. The referenced
meeting attendees were present. The meeting was held in the parking lot of the credit union located on
Mulberry Church Road.
The meeting began with an introduction of the project by Steve Blakley. The introduction included a
discussion on status of design, corridor locations, project purpose and corridor design standards (number of
lanes, limits of pavement, etc.). Preliminary concept plans that were prepared for public meetings were
used to show specifics of the project.
Subsequently, Jim Eisenhardt reviewed the findings of the Natural Resources/Water Resources Assessment
of the corridor including a general discussion of the local ecosystems, areas of Section 404/401 jurisdiction
and potential impacts based on the preliminary plans and corridors as shown. In summary, there are no
wetlands in the subject corridor however there are two jurisdictional waters (streams) that cross the
proposed corridor. The stream features include Taggart Creek and a tributary to Taggert Creek.
The purpose of the meeting was twofold:
1. Obtain concurrence on the extent of Section 404 jurisdictional areas.
2. Obtain guidance from the Corps on permitting requirements.
Regarding the concurrence on Section 404 jurisdictional areas, the Corps indicated that based on the
information provided, they concur that there will be two crossings of jurisdictional waters. Since the
corridor was not staked, the Corps did not want to field review the proposed crossing areas at this time.
However, based on the photo graphs shown, the data presented and the Corps' familiarity with the area, Mr.
Chapin believed Kimley-Hom's assessment was correct. Mr. Chapin indicated that he would provide
written concurrence on the extent of jurisdiction once a formal request for jurisdictional determination was
made to his office. He requested that the jurisdictional determination submission accompany any permit
application that will be submitted. He also requested that a copy of the Natural Resources Assessment be
attached to the application. At that time he may wish to review the specific crossings and final design. He
would prefer to do this when the corridor location is staked in the field.

Regarding permitting requirements, Mr. Chapin indicated that a Section 404/401 permit would be required
for the two crossings. He agreed that the impacts would be located in an area above headwaters so that
Nationwide Permit 26 would be available for this project. He also indicated that Nationwide Permit 14
would also be applicable. Mr. Chapin indicated that due to the limited impacts anticipated and the nature
of the crossings, these nationwide permits would be applicable and likely approved. Once permit plans are
prepared, final guidance on the applicable permit(s) can be provided. With respect to the Corps jurisdiction
and permits, mitigation may not be required for this project if the impacts are minimized. The Corps could
not provide guidance on North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR)
Section 401 conditions. It was recommended that once permit plans are prepared that NCDENR provide
input as well.
The information presented in this summary of meeting notes is accurate to the best of the preparer's
knowledge. Should additional comments be requested, contact the preparer within 10 days for comment
incorporation into final notes.

SUBJECT: Rare Species, High Quality Natural Communities, and
Significant Natural Heritage Areas at the Proposed Wilkinson
Boulevard Road Improvements Project, Charlotte,
Mecklenburg County, N.C.
Dear Ms. Tennant:
The NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) does not have records of rare species,
high quality natural communities, or Significant Natural Heritage Areas (SNHAs) at
or within a 1.0 mile radius of the proposed Wilkinson Boulevard road improvements
project site, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, N.C.
Enclosed is a list of rare species known to exist in Mecklenburg County. If habitat for
any of these species exists at the site, they may be present there. Consultant acquired
knowledge of the existing habitat should determine if a survey is necessary.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at the address below or call me at (919) 715-
8703 if you have any questions or need further information.
Sincerely,
Susan Reece Giles

NC: NATUKAL
ty species list from the NC Natural Heritage Program is a listing of the elements of natural diversity krare species,
y natural communities, and special animal habitats) known to occur in a county. The information on this printout is
from a variety of sources, including Field surveys, museums and herlu.,,;.., ,.....?.c, and personal communications. The
Program's Biological and Conservation Database (BCD) is dynamic, with new records being added and old records being
s new information is received. The BCD was developed and is maintained using methodology developed by The Nature
tncy. The enclosed list cannot be considered a definitive record of natural heritage elements, and it should not be
;d a substitute for field surveys. When this information is used in any document, we request that the printout date be given
the NC Natural Heritage Program be credited.
sheet explains the four columns of status codes that are given on the right-hand side of the county status list.
STATUS CODE STATUS
Endangered P_ Proposed (E, T, or C)
Threatened SR Significantly Rare
Special Concern EX Extirpated
Candidate
statuses are determined by the Plant Conservation Program (NC Department of Agriculture) and the Natural Heritage
,am (NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources). E, T, and SC species are protected by state law (Plant
ction and Conservation Act, 1979). C and SR designations indicate rarity and the need for population monitoring and
:rvation action.
tal statuses that indicate state protection (E, T, and SC) are published in Endangered Wildlife of North Carolina, March 16,
Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program (NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources). SR and EX statuses
lateral Heritage Program designations. SR indicates rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservation action.
ERAL STATUS
status is designated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Federally listed Endangered and Threatened species are protected
r the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended through the 100th Congress. Unless otherwise noted,
dtions are taken from the Federal Register, Vol. 56, No. 225, November 21, 1991 (50 CFR Part 17).
C
/A)
STATUS DEFII`RTION
Endangered A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all of a significant portion of its range."
Threatened A taxon "likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all of a
significant portion of its range."
Proposed A taxon proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened.
Candidate A taxon under consideration for which there is sufficient information to support listing. This category was
formerly designated as a Candidate 1 (C 1) species.
Federal "Species of Concern" (also called "Species at Risk"). Formerly defined as a taxon under
consideration for which there is insufficient information to support listing; formerly designated as a
Candidate 2 (C2) species. Currently, the US Fish and Wildlife Service does not recognize this as an
official designation.
Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance. The Endangered Species Act authorizes the treatment of a
species (subspecies or population segment) as threatened even though it is not otherwise listed as threatened
if: (a) The species so closely resembles in appearance a threatened species that enforcement personnel
would have substantial difficulty in differentiating between the listed and unlisted species; (b) the effect of
this substantial difficulty is an additional threat to a threatened species; and (c) such treatment of an unlisted
species will substantially facilitate the enforcement and further the policy of the Act. The American
Alligator has this designation due to similarity of appearance to other rare crocodilians. The Bog Turtle
(southern population) has this designation due to similarity of appearance to Bog Turtles in the threatened
northern population.
W
OBAL AND STATE RANKS
`se ranks are determined by The Nature Conservancy's system of measuring rarity and threat status. "Global" refers to
ldwide ranks and "State" to statewide ranks.
WTE RANK DEFINITIONS
Critically imperiled in North Carolina because of extreme rarity or otherwise very vulnerable to extirpation in the state.
Imperiled in North Carolina because of rarity or otherwise vulnerable to extirpation in the state.
Rare or uncommon in North Carolina.
Apparently secure in North Carolina, with many occurrences.
Demonstrably secure in North Carolina and essentially ineradicable under present conditions.
Accidental or casual; one to several records for North Carolina, but the state is outside the normal range of the species.
i 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.
Reported from North Carolina, but without persuasive documentation for either accepting or rejecting the report.
Believed to be extirpated from North Carolina.
?j Possibly in peril in North Carolina, but status uncertain; more information is needed.
Unranked, or rank uncertain.
Rank of breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only.
Rank of non-breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only.
Population is not of significant conservation concern; applies to transitory, migratory species.
WOBAL RANK DEFINITIONS
Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity or otherwise very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range.
Imperiled globally because of rarity or otherwise vulnerable to extinction throughout its range.
Either very rare and local throughout its range, or found locally in a restricted area.
Apparently secure globally, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range (especially at the periphery).
Demonstrably secure globally, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range (especially at the periphery).
MI Of historical occurrence throughout its range.
Believed to be extinct throughout its range.
Possibly in peril, but status uncertain; more information is needed.
Unranked, or rank uncertain.
MLQ Of questionable taxonomic status.
1 Status of subspecies or variety; the G rank refers to the species as a whole.
a
m&DDMONAL DEFINITIONS
Mements 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 last observed in the county more than 20 years ago.
•ientific and common names listed in parentheses are synonyms listed in US Fish and Wildlife Service, 1992, Endangered and
reatened Species of the Southeastern United States (The Red Book).
