VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 1 SA NCAC 2H .OS00, 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 January 1 S, 2002, 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 NCEEP 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/strmgide 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 applicant will avoid and preserve 3 318 linear feet of stream and 1 47 acres of
wetlands. A 2S-foot wide upland buffer will be utilized wherever practicable to preserve
remaining stream and wetland areas. Payment into the NCEEP for 297 1 f of coolwater
impacts is proposed A copy of the acceptance letter from the NCEEP is included
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The following report includes methods used and results for a preliminary threatened and
endangered (T&E) species survey and habitat assessment for the proposed 60-acre Wolf
Chase site (See figures 1 and 2). The T&E species survey was conducted to determine the
occurrence of or the potential for existence of federally listed threatened or endangered
animal and plant species on the proposed site. Completion of this survey was directed by
and complies with three current state and federal regulations: the Federal Endangered
Species Act of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543), North Carolina Endangered Species Act
(N.C.G.S. Sect. 113 article 25), and North Carolina Plant Protection and Conservation
Act of 1979 (N.C.G.S. Sect. 19b 106: 202.12-22).
The project site is located on U.S. Highway 64 near East. Approximately two mile East
of I-26 in Henderson County, North Carolina (Figure 1 and 2). Elevations at the site
range from approximately 2,100 feet MSL.
2.0 METHODOLOGY
A preliminary protected species survey was conducted on March 30, 2007, on the Wolf
Chase Tract project site by Clearwater Environmental Consultants, Inc., to determine the
potential for occurrences of listed threatened and endangered animal and plant species by
current federal or state regulations.
Recent database information for listed species was acquired from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service (USFWS) and the NC Natural Heritage Database on March 28, 2007 concerning the
presence or potential occurrence of threatened or endangered species in Henderson County,
North Carolina (appendix A).
' The USFWS lists the following eight federally threatened and endangered species as
occurring or potentially occurring in Henderson County. The species listed below were
included in the surveys and assessment.

3.0 HABITAT CLASSIFICATION
The protected species audit consisted of a pedestrian survey. During field surveys, six
general habitats were identified and compared with recognized habitats for each of the eight
species potentially occurring on the site. Potential flora and fauna were identified to the
taxonomic unit level necessary to determine if the observed specimen was a protected
species. A plant list for this site is included in Appendix B. Plants were identified to the
lowest taxonomic level readily discernible in the field during the time of survey.
The following is a description of each of the six habitat types identified on the referenced
site (Figure 4). A soils discussion is also provided.
3.1 Fields/Old Field (OF)
This habitat is maintained by mechanical means such mowing. This habitat is
defined as abandoned agricultural fields that are 1-3 years old. This disturbed
habitat contains a diverse range of annuals, perennials, and shrubs observed in
degraded areas associated with abandoned fields. Species observed in the herb
layer include Phytolacca americana(pokeberry), Rubus spp (blackberry)
Plantago lanceolata (lanceleaf plantain), Daucus carota (queen Anne's lace),
Rumex crispus (dock), Solanum americanum (horsenettle), and Ranunculus sp.
(buttercup). Composites observed in the herb layer include Bidens cernua
(Beggars ticks), Solidago spp. (goldenrod) and Aster species. Grasses and sedges
observed include Festuca sp. (Fescue), Panicum sp. (panic grass), and Holcus
lanatus (velvet grass). Shrubby and semihardwood vines observed include Rubus
sp. blackberry), Smilax sp. (greenbrier), Rosa multiflora (multiflower rose), and
Ligustrum sinense (Chinese privet). Dominant species include Rubus sp.,
Ligustrum sinense, Vitis spp. (grape vine), Rhus spp. (sumac) and Elaeagnus
angustifolia (Russian olive). (Photograph 1).
3.2 Oak/Heath (POH)

This mesic to xeric community is found along the ridges between the topographic
draws of the main slope, with sections along the central eastern and central western
sections of the property. Trees observed include Quercus velutina, Quercus rubra,
and Quercus falcata and are intersperse with evergreens such as Pinus strobus
(white pine) and Pinus virginiana (Virginia pine). Shrubs layer is dominated by
Kalmia latifolia (mountain laurel) and Rhododendron maxiumum interspersed with
smaller patches of Vaccinium spp. (blueberries) and Gaylusaccia spp.
(huckleberries). Species observed in the herb layer include Polystichum
acrostichoides (Christmas fern) Tipularia discolor (crane fly orchid), and Hexastylus
sp. (Photographs 6 and 7).

' 3.3 Montane Alluvial Forest (MA)
' This habitat is defined as river floodplains and bottomlands in which separate
fluvial landforms and associated vegetation zones are too small to distinguish, in
lower elevation mountain valleys. Species observed in the tree layer include
' bottomland hardwood affinities such as red and white oaks with a mixture of
Betula nigra (river birch), Platanus occidentalis (American sycamore), Carpinus
caroliniana (ironwood) Cornus ammomum (silky dogwood), and Halesia
' tetraptera (silverbell). Vines such as Vitis sp. (grape), and Smilax sp. (catbriar)
were observed. Ages of trees are less than 75 yrs old. (Photograph 5).
' 3.4 Southern Appalachian Swamp Forest Seep Wetland (WL)
This habitat is defined as poorly drained bottomlands with visible
' microtopography of ridges and depressions along creeks. Tree species observed
include Acer rubrum and Pinus strobus. Shrub species include Leucothoe
' axillaris, Clethera acuminata, Rhododendron spp., Lindera benzoin (spicebush),
Arundinaria gigantea, Alnus serrulata, Carpinus caroliniana, Viburnum nudum,
Aroma arbuttfolta, Calycanthus jlortdus, and Cratageus phaenopyrum were
' common. Other plants in this area included Smilax spp., Zanthorhiza simplissima
(yellowroot), Lycopodium lucidulum, Lygodium palmatum, Iris sp., Juncus spp.
(rushes), and Carex spp. (sedges). Bryophytes were also common m this habitat
' and included Byzantia spp. and Sphagnum spp. (Photograph 4)
3.5 Power Line R-O-W (PL)
This habitat is defined as mixed pine and hardwood forests that have been cut and
maintain shrubby ericaceous members. Species observed include Oxydendron
' arboreum, Vaccinium, Rhododendron, Kalmia, Lyonia (fetterbush), and
Leucothoe spp. (doghobbles). Other shrubs observed include Rhus spp., Rosa
multiflora and Rubus spp. are common. Species observed in the herb layer include
a large number of forbs similar to those of the old field are in this habitat
including Solidago, Andropogon, Setaria, and Panicum spp. (Photographs 2 and
3)
' 3.6 Stream Bed and Bank (STR)
' This habitat is varied and often contains mesophytic and hydrophytic plants.
Communities here included creeks in the base of coves or toes of the slope.
Common plants here included Acer rubrum, Betula nigra, Alnus serrulata, Salix
' nigra, and Cornus ammomum. Undercanopy was composed of Leocothoe axillaris,
Ligustrum sincense, Lonicera japonica, Rubus spp. and Rosa mult~ora. Forbs such
as Solidago spp. Oenothera spp., and Impatients spp. were common. (Photographs 8
' and 9). Several streams flow through the site, while other unnamed tributaries have
their origins in seeps and springs on site. Permanently rooted aquatic plants are
4

i~
' practically non-existent in swift streams such as those on site. Suitable habitat for
listed species was not found on the streambeds or surrounding banks.
3.9 Soils
' Soils mapped by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) Henderson
County Soil Survey, Map #12 for Wolf Chase site include floodplain types:
Codorus loam (Co) on almost flat soils, in slight depressional areas in the
instreamside and floodplain, moderately well drained; Hatboro loam (Ha) poorly
drained nearly level soil in depressional areas on stream flood plains. (Figure 3).
Sloped soils include:; Hayesville loam (HyC) on 7-15% slopes and well drained on
rolling foot ridges; Edneyville fine sandy loam(EdC) 7-15% slopes with well
drained soil on fairly smooth ridgetops; Edneyville fine sandy loam, (EdE) on 15-
25% slopes; Edneyville fine sandy loam (EdF) on 25-45% slopes, well drained on
mountain sides;
4.0 LISTED SPECIES & ACKNOWLEDGED HABITATS
The following is a brief description of each listed species included in the survey, its
recognized habitat, and comments regarding survey results for that species:
4.1 Appalachian elktoe
Federally listed as endangered, this mussel
has a thin but not fragile, kidney-shape
shell, reaching up to about 3.2 inches in
length, 1.4 inches in height, and 1.0 inch
wide. Juveniles generally have a
yellowish-brown periostracum (outer shell
surface) while the periostracum of the
adults is usually dark brown to greenish-
black in color. Although rays are
prominent on some shells, particularly in
the posterior portion of the shell, many individuals have only obscure greenish
rays. The shell nacre (inside shell surface) is shiny, often white to bluish-white,
changing to a salmon, pinkish, or brownish color in the central and beak cavity
portions of the shell; some specimens may be marked with irregular brownish
blotches.
Only two populations of the species are known to survive. The healthiest of these
populations exists in the main stem of the Little Tennessee River between Emory
Lake at Franklin, Macon County, North Carolina, and Fontana Reservoir in Swain
County, North Carolina. The second population occurs in the Nolichucky River
system. The Appalachian elktoe has been reported from relatively shallow,
medium-sized creeks and rivers with cool, well-oxygenated, moderate- to fast-
5

flowing water. It has been observed in gravelly substrates often mixed with
cobble and boulders, in cracks in bedrock, and occasionally in relatively silt-free,
coarse, sandy substrates (Department of the Interior 1994). The small unnamed
tributaries are not likely to support the Appalachian elktoe. Impact to this species
is not likely.
4.2 Bog turtle
Federally listed as a threatened species by similarity of appearance with the northern
bog turtle, bog turtles are easily distinguished from other turtles by the large,
conspicuous bright orange, yellow or
red blotch found on each side of the • ' `- to..~..~.<e,=..,,,~w. ~„w,

threatened desi nation because its = - ,
physical appearance is similar to the
northern population. The southern bog turtle population is separated from the
northern population by approximately 250 miles. However, individual bog turtles
in the southern population closely resemble individuals in the northern bog turtle
population, causing difficulty in enforcing prohibitions protecting the northern
population. Therefore, the Service is designating the southern population as
"threatened (similarity of appearance)." This designation prohibits collecting
individual turtles from this population and bans interstate and international
commercial trade. It has no effect on land management activities of private
landowners in southern states where the bog turtle lives.
4.3 Oyster mussel
Federally listed as an endangered species inhabits
medium-size streams to large rivers on shoals
and riffles in course sand/gravel/cobble
substrate. It is not associated with small stream
habitats and does not extend far upstream in
tributaries. It prefers water depths of less than
' three feet and is sometimes found associated
with water-willow beds. The oyster mussel is a
small species (adults 50 - 70 mm) that exhibits
6

pronounced sexual dimorphism (male and female shells differ in form). Shells are
yellowish-green with numerous narrow green rays and the nacre is bluish-white to
creamy in color. Male shells are elliptical in shape while female shells have a
swollen posterior end, which is dark green in color. The species has two lateral
teeth in the left valve and one lateral tooth in the right valve. Two small
pseudocardinal teeth are present in each valve. Historically, the oyster mussel
was one of the most widely distributed Cumberlandian mussel species. The main
stem Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers, as well as many tributaries harbored this
species. The species has been extirpated from much of its range and only a few
populations still exist in Cumberland River tributaries. The small creeks on-site
are not suitable habitat for this species.
4.4 Swamp pink
Federally listed as threatened, this species is found in wetlands that are saturated
but not flooded. This habitat includes
southern Appalachian bogs and swamps "~a~ ~~ R""';\ ~„" ,, '~`~ r ' ~;

stalk that can grow 8-35 inches during flowering and up to 5 feet during seed
maturation distinguishes the swamp pink species. Flowering occurs March
through May, and flowers are clustered (30-50) at the tip of the stem in a
bottlebrush shape. Potential habitat for Swamp pink was not observed on-site.
Impacts to this species are not likely to occur as a result of this project.
4.5 Small whorled pogonia
This plant, federally listed as an endangered species,
occurs on upland sites in mixed-deciduous or
mixed-deciduous/coniferous forest that are generally
in second or third growth successional stages.
Characteristics common to most sites include sparse
to moderate ground cover in the species'
microhabitat, a relatively open understory canopy,
and proximity to features that create long persisting
breaks in the forest canopy. Soils at most sites are
highly acidic and nutrient poor, with moderately
high soil moisture values. Light availability could
be a limiting factor for this species. The stem is
7

smooth, hollow pale green and 3.7-9.8 inches tall with a single whorl of 5 to 6
light green elliptical leaves 3 inches long and 1.6 inches wide. A flower is borne
at the top of the stem. Flowering occurs mid may to June. It is distinguished from
the similar I. verticillata by the Tatter's purplish stem and long, dark sepals.
Potential habitat may exist on the property; however during the pedestrian survey
no specimen of Ilex were observed.
4.6 Bunched arrowhead
Federally listed as an endangered species is an emersed aquatic perennial herb,
which grows 6 to 13 inches in height. Its
spatulate-shaped leaves reach 3
decimeters (12 inches long) and 2
centimeters (three-fourths of an inch)
wide, and stem from the base of the
plant. The flowering stalk is erect, with
upper flowers male and lower flowers
female. Male flowers have three
reflexed sepals, three white petals, and
numerous stamens with pubescent,
dilated filaments. Female flowers have
three spreading or reflexed sepals, three
white petals, and numerous separate
carpels. The stalks of the lowest whorl
of flowers ascend in fruit, and the
fruiting head is of numerous achenes.
Flowering and fruiting occurs from May
to July. Bunched arrowhead grows in
seepage areas, which have little or no net flow but are not stagnant. The soil in
the seepages can be characterized as sandy loams overtopped by a muck layer
ranging in depth from 25 to 60 centimeters. Shaded sites have larger, more
vigorous plants than open areas. Potentially, suitable habitat exists on the
property; however during the pedestrian survey we did not observe any
specimens.
4.7 Mountain sweet pitcher plant
' Federally listed as an
endangered species, this
Sagittaria is a perennial
' herb. The mountain sweet
pitcher plant grows from
21 to 73 inches tall. Its
' numerous and erect
leaves grow in clusters
and are hollow and
8

i~
i~
i~
i~
it

trumpet-shaped, forming slender, almost tubular pitchers with aheart-shaped
hood. The pitchers are a waxy dull green with Criss-crossing maroon-purple
veins. The hair inside the pitchers' tube is usually bent downward, and the
tubes are often partially filled with liquid and decayed insect parts. Flowers of
the mountain sweet pitcher plant (Sarracenia jonesii) are usually maroon with
recurving petals. The stalks are erect and bear one flower each. Flowering
and fruiting occurs April-June. Restricted to bogs and streamsides on granite
rock faces along the Blue Ridge Divide, this plant's populations are generally
found in level depressions associated with floodplains. A few populations can
be found along the sides of waterfalls on granite rock faces. Herbs and shrubs
usually dominate the bogs where these plants are located, but there may be a
few scattered trees. The bog soils are deep, poorly-drained combinations of
loam, sand, and silt, with high organic matter content and a medium to highly
acidic composition. Potentially, suitable habitat is present at the onsite
seepage areas. However, no mountain sweet pitcher plants were observed in
seepage areas, wetland depressions, or streamsides on site. .
4.8 White irisette
Federally listed endangered species, this plants
distinguishing characteristics include, dichotomous
branching of stems, pale bluish-green basal leaves, and
' tiny white flowers (0.3 inch) with reflexed petals in a
cluster of 4-6 at the ends of winged stems. The plant
grows 4-8 inches tall and prefers rich, basic soils,
' probably weathered from amphibolite, in clearings and
the edges of upland woods where the canopy is thin. The
plant often occurs in areas where downslope runoff has
' removed much of the deep litter layer ordinarily present
in wooded sites. Suitable habitat for this plant was not
observed on site. Impacts to this species are not likely.
' S.0 CONCLUSION
' During completion of threatened and endangered species assessments for the project site, marginally
suitable potential habitats for small whorled pogonia, bunched arrowhead, and mountain sweet
pitcher plant were observed. The pedestrian survey for these species did not identify any individuals,
despite the presence of potential habitat. The proposed project is not likely to cause an adverse impact
to any Appalachian elktoe, oyster muscle, swamp pink, bog turtle, and white irisette. It is our opinion
that this project is not likely to affect protected species.
Although no federally listed threatened and endangered species were identified during these surveys,
because of the transitory nature of some of the listed threatened and endangered species and the
' particular flower/fruiting periods of some plants, it is possible that endangered species populations
and locations may change over time. Therefore, any potential findings at a later date should be fully
investigated and coordinated with appropriate agencies to prevent potential adverse impacts.

Lichen:
' Definitions of Federal Status Codes:
E = endangered. A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its
range."
' T = threatened. A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout
all or a significant portion of its range."
P = proposed. A taxon proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened.
' C = candidate. A taxon under consideration for official listing for which there is sufficient
information to support listing. (Formerly "C1"candidate species.)
FSC =federal species of concern. A species under consideration for listing, for which there is
1

insufficient information to support listing at this time. These species may or may not be listed in
' the future, and many of these species were formerly recognized as "C2" candidate species.
T(S/A) =threatened due to similarity of appearance. A species that is threatened due to similarity
of appearance with other rare species and is listed for its protection. These species are not
' biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation.
EXP =experimental population. A taxon listed as experimental (either essential or nonessential).
' Experimental, nonessential populations of endangered species (e.g., red wolf) are treated as
threatened species on public land, for consultation purposes, and as species proposed for listing
on pnvate land.
' Definitions of "Record Status" qualifiers:
Current -the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years.
' Historic -the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago.
Obscure -the date and/or location of observation is uncertain.
Incidental/migrant -the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat.
' Probable/potential -the species is considered likely to occur in this county based on the
proximity of known records (in adjacent counties), the presence of potentially suitable habitat, or
both.
