Round Hill Branch Stream and Wetland Restoration Project
KCI Job 4 161802916
Dear Mrs. Gledhill -Earley:
On behalf of our client, the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (DMS), KCI Technologies, Inc.
requests review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect to archaeological or cultural
resources associated with a potential stream and wetland restoration project on the above referenced site. The
RHBRS is situated on the northwestern side of Buncombe County. The site is located approximately 4 miles south
of the Town of Leicester, North Carolina. Specifically, the site is on Green Valley Road (SR 1383) south of NC-63.
The site is within the 06010105 Watershed Cataloging Unit (8-digit HUC) of the French Broad River Basin and the
14-digit HUC 06010105090020 (Figure 2). Land use is primarily farmland, woodland, and rural development
(Figure 3). Please accept the attached information as a submittal for cultural resources review by the State Historic
Preservation Office and the Office of State Archaeology.
The Round Hill Branch Restoration Site (RHBRS) is a candidate site for stream and wetland restoration in the
French Broad River Basin in Buncombe County, North Carolina. The RHBRS has undergone significant
modifications that have altered the site hydrology and vegetation. The primary impacts to the system were
associated with channelization and clearing throughout the site to utilize the resources in support of agricultural
production. Restoration work on the site includes: the realignment of the project streams within the valley and
reconnecting their relic floodplains, removing spoil from historic channelization, excluding cattle from the project
resources, and the establishment of a native riparian buffer. The streams at the site will be restored and preserved
with an emphasis on using a Priority 1 approach where possible. This approach will be feasible for most portions of
the project streams, but not every reach. There will not be any impacts to existing structures (buildings, barns, etc.)
on the subject property. No architectural structures or archeological artifacts have been observed or noted during
preliminary surveys of the site for restoration purposes. Proposed mitigation actions are shown on Figure 4.
Please feel free to contact me at 919-278-2511, should you have any questions or require any further information
concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,

Appalachian elktoe
Habitat Description: The Appalachian elktoe is known from the French Broad River
watershed in North Carolina. The Appalachian elktoe has been observed in moderate- to
fast -flowing water, in gravelly substrates often mixed with cobble and boulders, in cracks
of bedrock and in relatively silt -free, coarse, sandy substrates. Apparently, stability of the
substrate is critical to this species, as it is seldom found in stream reaches with
accumulations of silt or shifting sand, gravel, or cobble.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
The project streams have been severely impacted by agricultural practices, ditching,
incision, and sediment deposition. They are not appropriate habitat for Appalachian
elktoe. Additionally, NCNHP records does not indicate any populations within one mile
of the project.
Bog turtle
Habitat Description: Bog turtle habitat consists of open, groundwater supplied
(springfed), graminoid dominated wetlands along riparian corridors or on seepage
slopes. These habitats are designated as mountain bogs by the NCNHP, but they are
technically poor, moderate, or rich fens that may be associated with wet pastures and old
drainage ditches that have saturated muddy substrates with open canopies. Plants found
in bog turtle habitat include sedges, rushes, marsh ferns, herbs, shrubs (tag alder,
hardhack, blueberry, etc.), and wetland tree species (red maple and silky willow). These
habitats often support sphagnum moss and may contain carnivorous plants (sundews and
pitcherplants) and rare orchids. Potential habitats may be found in western Piedmont and
Mountain counties from 700 to 4500 feet elevation in North Carolina. Soil types (poorly
drained silt loams) from which bog turtle habitats have been found include Arkaqua,
Chewacla, Dellwood, Codorus complex, Hatboro, Nikwasi, Potomac — Iotla complex,
Reddies, Rosman, Tate — Cullowhee complex, Toxaway, Tuckasegee — Cullasaja
complex, Tusquitee, Watauga, and Wehadkee.
Biological Conclusion: Not Required
Species listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance do not require Section 7
consultation with the USFWS. No bog turtles were observed during field activities.
Additionally, NCNHP records does not indicate any populations within one mile of the
project.
Tan riffleshell
Habitat Description: Historic occurrences of the tan riffleshell are known from the
French Broad and Hiawassee Rivers in North Carolina. Currently, the only known viable
population of this species is located in Tazwell County, Virginia. Individuals are
typically found in headwaters, riffles, and shoals in sand and gravel substrates.

Biological Conclusion: No Effect
The project streams have been severely impacted by agricultural practices, ditching,
incision, and sediment deposition. They are not appropriate habitat for tan riffleshell.
Additionally, NCNHP records does not indicate any populations within one mile of the
project.
Spotfin chub (= turquoise shiner)
Habitat Description: The spotfin chub occurs in the Little Tennessee River drainage
system. This minnow typically inhabits moderate to large streams, 49-230 feet in width.
However, they have been documented utilizing smaller tributaries in the fall. These
streams should have a good current, clear water, cool to warm temperatures, and pools
alternating with riffles. Specimens of spotfin chub have been taken from a variety of
substrates but rarely from significantly silted substrates. This species has been observed
spawning under loose rocks over bedrock.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
The USFWS lists the spotfin chub as threatened in Buncombe County based on historical
records. The spotfin chub is currently only known to occur in the Little Tennessee River
drainage system. The project is not within the Little Tennessee River drainage and
therefore outside the current range of the species. Additionally, NCNHP records does not
indicate any populations within one mile of the project.
Spreading avens
Habitat Description: Spreading avens occurs in areas exposed to full sun on high
elevation cliffs, outcrops, and bases of steep talus slopes. This perennial herb also occurs
in thin, gravelly soils of grassy balds near summit outcrops. The species prefers a
northwest aspect, but can be found on west-southwest through north-northeast aspects.
Forests surrounding known occurrences are generally dominated by either red spruce
Fraser fir, northern hardwoods with scattered spruce, or high -elevation red oaks.
Spreading avens typically occurs in shallow, acidic soil (such as the Burton series) in
cracks and crevices of igneous, metamorphic, or metasedimentary rocks. Soils may be
well drained but almost continuously wet, with soils at some known occurrences subject
to drying out in summer due to exposure to sun and shallow depths. Known populations
occur at elevations ranging from 4,296 to 6,268 feet above mean sea level. Blue Ridge
goldenrod, Heller's blazing star, and Roan Mountain bluet are a few of its common
associate species.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
There is no suitable habitat for spreading avens within the study area. There are no areas
exposed to full sunlight at or above 4,200 feet above mean sea level within the study area.
Elevations in the study area do not exceed 2,200 feet above mean sea level. Additionally,
NCNHP records does not indicate any populations within one mile of the project.

Carolina Northern flying squirrel
Habitat Description: There are several isolated populations of the Carolina Northern
flying squirrel in the mountains of North Carolina. This nocturnal squirrel prefers the
ecotone between coniferous (red spruce, Fraser fir, or hemlock) and mature northern
hardwood forests (beech, yellow birch, maple, hemlock, red oak, and buckeye), typically
at elevations above 4,500 feet mean sea level. In some instances, the squirrels may be
found on narrow, north -facing valleys above 4,000 feet mean sea level. Both forest types
are used to search for food and the hardwood forest is used for nesting sites. Mature
forests with a thick evergreen understory and numerous snags are most preferable. In
winter, squirrels inhabit tree cavities in older hardwoods, particularly yellow birch.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the Carolina northern flying squirrel does not exist within the study
area. Elevations in the study area do not exceed 2,200 feet above mean sea level.
Additionally, NCNHP records does not indicate any populations within one mile of the
project.
Rock gnome lichen
Habitat Description: Rock gnome lichen occurs in high elevation coniferous forest
(particularly those dominated by red spruce and Fraser fir) usually on rocky outcrop or
cliff habitats. This squamulose lichen only grows in areas with a great deal of humidity,
such as high elevations above 5,000 feet mean sea level where there is often fog, or on
boulders and large outcrops in deep river gorges at lower elevations. Habitat is primarily
limited to vertical rock faces where seepage water from forest soils above flows only at
very wet times. The species requires a moderate amount of sunlight, but cannot tolerate
high -intensity solar radiation. The lichen does well on moist, generally open sites with
northern exposures, but requires at least partial canopy coverage on southern or western
aspects because of its intolerance to high solar radiation.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the rock gnome lichen does not exist within the study area. There are
no rocky outcrops or cliff habitats with a great deal of humidity and seepage that flows
only during wet periods. Elevations in the study area do not exceed 2,200 feet above
mean sea level. Additionally, NCNHP records does not indicate any populations within
one mile of the project.
Rusty -patched bumble bee
Habitat Description: Rusty -patched bumble bees once occupied grasslands and tallgrass
prairies of the Upper Midwest and Northeast, but most grasslands and prairies have been
lost, degraded, or fragmented by conversion to other uses. Bumble bees need areas that
provide nectar and pollen from flowers, nesting sites (underground and abandoned rodent
cavities or clumps of grasses), and overwintering sites for hibernating queens
(undisturbed soil). Bumble bees gather pollen and nectar from a variety of flowering
plants. The rusty -patched emerges early in spring and is one of the last species to go into
hibernation. It needs a constant supply and diversity of flowers blooming throughout the
colony's long life, April through September.

Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the rusty -patched bumble bee does not occur in the study area. The
USFWS has categorized Buncombe County as historical range for potential rusty -patched
bumble bee with a historical record last seen before 2000. Based off the USFWS Survey
Protocols, paved areas; mowed lawns; areas planted to annual row crops; forest where
invasive shrubs are dominant and spring ephemeral flowers are absent; and areas mowed
too frequently to allow development of diverse wildflower resources are not suitable
habitat for the rusty -patched bumble bee. The project area is mostly hayfields and areas
grazed by cattle. Additionally, NCNHP records does not indicate any populations within
one mile of the project.
Spruce -fir moss spider
Habitat Description: This species is known only from spruce -fir forests in the
Appalachian mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. The spruce -fir moss spider
occurs in well -drained moss and liverwort mats growing on rocks or boulders. These
mats are found in well -shaded areas in mature, high elevation (> 5,000 feet mean sea
level) Fraser fir and red spruce forests. The spruce -fir moss spider is very sensitive to
desiccation and requires environments of high and constant humidity. The need for
humidity relates to the moss mats, which cannot become too parched or else the mats
become dry and loose. Likewise, the moss mats cannot be too wet because large drops of
water can also pose a threat to the spider. The spider constructs its tube -shaped webs in
the interface between the moss mat and the rock surface. Some webs have been found to
extend into the interior of the moss mat.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the spruce -fir moss spider does not exist within the study area.
Elevations in the study area do not exceed 2,200 feet above mean sea level. Additionally,
NCNHP records does not indicate any populations within one mile of the project.
Gray bat
Habitat Description: Gray bats are known mainly from the cave regions of the Southeast
and Midwest. They live in colonies in caves, utilizing different caves for summer
roosting and winter hibernating. Summer caves are usually within one half mile
of a river or reservoir, which provides foraging habitat. During the summer, females give
birth and rear the young in maternity caves, while males and yearlings roost in separate
bachelor caves. Caves preferred for hibernation are typically deep, vertical caves with a
temperature between 42 and 52 degrees Fahrenheit. Gray bats are highly selective in
choosing suitable caves, and nine known caves are thought to provide hibernation space
for 95 percent of the population. Migration from summer to winter caves begins in
September and is mainly complete by the beginning of November.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
The project area has been heavily impacted by agricultural activities. No forage or
roosting habitat was found. Additionally, NCNHP records does not indicate any
populations within one mile of the project.

Bunched arrowhead
Habitat Description: Bunched arrowhead, endemic to the southern Appalachian
Mountains of North Carolina and upper Piedmont of South Carolina, is rooted in shallow
water seepage areas of bogs, wooded swamps, and deciduous woodlands. This early -
successional perennial herb occurs in Swamp Forest -Bog Complex (Typic Subtype) and
Southern Appalachian Bog (Southern Subtype) natural communities. A known
occurrence also occurs in a maintained power line right-of-way along the headwaters of a
river. The plant requires a slight but continuous and steady flow of cool, clean water that
saturates or floods but does not stagnate. The species typically occurs in sandy loam soils
found underneath a 10-24 inch deep layer of muck, sand, and silt. Undisturbed
occurrences are usually located just below the origin of the seep on gently sloping terrain
at the bluff-floodplain ecotone. While shaded areas contain the most vigorous plants, it
will also grow in either full sun or partial shade beneath red maple, black gum, and alder
at the base of steep slopes.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the bunched arrowhead exists in the project study area including a
few wetland seeps in the stream preservation areas. This is a stream restoration project,
and areas of potential bunched arrowhead habitat will not be impacted. Additionally,
NCNHP records does not indicate any populations within one mile of the project.
Mountain sweet pitcher plant
Habitat Description: Mountain sweet pitcher plant, endemic to the Blue Ridge
Mountains of North and South Carolina, is found along stream banks and in shrub/herb
dominated, seepage -fed mountain bogs (Southern Appalachian Bog -Southern Subtype).
Both stream bank and bog habitats are usually situated along intermittently exposed to
intermittently flooded level depressions associated with valley floodplains. These
habitats, typically on soils of the Toxaway or Hatboro series, contain deep, poorly
drained, saturated soils of loam, sand, and silt with a high organic matter content and
medium to high acidity. A few occurrences of the pitcher plant also grow in cataract
bogs, either in thin strips along the edges of waterfalls or on soil islands over granite rock
faces, where sphagnum and other bog plant species line the sides. This early successional
species relies on natural disturbance (e.g., drought, water fluctuation, periodic fire, ice
damage) to maintain its habitat by preventing the establishment of later successional
woody seedlings.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the mountain sweet pitcher plant Does not exist in the project study
area. There are no wetland areas in the project area. Additionally, NCNHP records does
not indicate any populations within one mile of the project.

Northern long-eared bat
Habitat Description: In North Carolina, the northern long-eared bat (NLEB) occurs in the
mountains, with scattered records in the piedmont and coastal plain. In western North
Carolina, NLEB spend winter hibernating in caves and mines. During the summer, NLEB
roosts singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and\
dead trees (typically >3 inches dbh). Males and non -reproductive females may also roost
in cooler places, like caves and mines. This bat has also been found, rarely, roosting in
strfuctures like barns and sheds, under eaves of buildings, behind window shutters, in
bridges, and in bat houses. Foraging occurs on forested hillsides and ridges, and
occasionally over forest clearings, over water, and along tree -lined corridors. Mature
forests may be an important habitat type for foraging.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
The project area has been heavily impacted by agricultural activities. No forage or
roosting habitat was found. Additionally, NCNHP records does not indicate any
populations within one mile of the project.
Blue Ridge goldenrod
Habitat Description: Blue Ridge goldenrod, endemic to the Appalachian Mountains of
North Carolina and Tennessee, occurs in the High Elevation Rocky Summit natural
community generally at or above elevations of 4,600 feet above mean sea level along
cliffs, ledges, balds, and dry rock crevices of granite outcrops of the higher mountain
peaks. This early pioneer herb usually grows in full sun on generally acidic soils of
shallow humus or clay loams that are intermittently saturated. The encroachment of
woody vegetation such as ericaceous shrubs can eliminate the goldenrod through
competition and shading. Roan Mountain bluet, Heller's blazing star, and spreading
avens are a few of its common associate species.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the Blue Ridge goldenrod does not exist within the study area. There
are no rocky outcrops or cliff habitats generally at or above elevations of 4,600 feet above
mean sea level in the study area. Elevations in the study area do not exceed 2,200 feet
above mean sea level. Additionally, NCNHP records does not indicate any populations
within one mile of the project.
Virginia spiraea
Habitat Description: Virginia spiraea occurs in flood -scoured, high -gradient sections of
rocky river banks of second and third order streams, often in gorges or canyons. This
perennial shrub grows in sunny areas on moist, acidic soils, primarily over sandstone.
The shrub tends to be found in thickets with little arboreal or herbaceous competition
along early successional areas that rely on periodic disturbances such as high -velocity
scouring floods to eliminate such competition. Virginia spiraea also occurs on meander
scrolls and point bars, natural levees, and other braided features of lower stream reaches,
often near the stream mouth. Scoured, riverine habitat sites are found where deposition
occurs after high water flows, such as on floodplains and overwash islands, rather than
along areas of maximum erosion. Occurrences in depositional habitats are found among

riparian debris piles, on fine alluvial sand and other alluvial deposits, or between
boulders.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the Virginia spiraea does not exists in the project study area. The
project streams have been heavily impacted by agricultural activities. Additionally,
NCNHP records does not indicate any populations within one mile of the project.
Bald Eagle
Habitat Description: Bald Eagles live near rivers, lakes, and marshes where they can find
fish, their staple food. Bald Eagles will also feed on waterfowl, turtles, rabbits, snakes,
and other small animals and carrion. Bald Eagles require a good food base, perching
areas, and nesting sites. Their habitat includes estuaries, large lakes, reservoirs, rivers,
and some seacoasts. In winter, the birds congregate near open water in tall trees for
spotting prey and night roosts for sheltering.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
There are no large bodies of water near the project to provide preferred forage for the
bald eagle.

Round Hill Branch Stream and Wetland Restoration Project
KCI Job Number - 161802916
Dear Mr. Cortes:
The purpose of this letter is to inform NRCS of our contractual intent to complete a stream restoration project on the
property in Columbus County. This work is expected to occur over the course of the neat year. The RHBRS is
situated on the northwestern side of Buncombe County. The site is located approximately 4 miles south of the Town
of Leicester, North Carolina. Specifically, the site is on Green Valley Road (SR 1383) south of NC-63. The site is
within the 06010105 Watershed Cataloging Unit (8-digit HUC) of the French Broad River Basin and the 14-digit
HUC 06010105090020 (Figure 2). Land use is primarily farmland, woodland, and rural development (Figure 3).
The site is currently under investigation as a stream and wetland restoration project for the North Carolina Division
of Mitigation Services. The funding for this project comes from the USDOT and Federal Highway Administration.
As evidenced by historic aerial photos and site investigations, the streams at this site have been substantially
modified through relocation and straightening and have also been impacted by cattle and other anthropogenic
factors. Restoring these streams will not only return these tributaries to a stable stream ecosystem with a functional
riparian buffer and floodplain access, but will also lower the supply of sediment and nutrients entering Round Hill
Branch and its receiving waters.
Following the review of the included documentation, please provide a determination regarding any potential impacts
from farmland conversion associated with this project. Included is the Farmland Conversion Impact Rating Form
(AD-1006) and a soil map with the breakdown of soil type and acreage; please complete Parts II, IV and V. Feel
free to contact me at tim.morriskkci.com, or 919-278-2511, should you have any questions or require any further
information concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project. Thank you in advance for your
assistance.

STEPS IN THE PROCESSING THE FARMLAND AND CONVERSION IMPACT RATING FORM
Step 1 - Federal agencies (or Federally funded projects) involved in proposed projects that may convert farmland, as defined in the Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA)
to nonagricultural uses, will initially complete Parts I and III of the form. For Corridor type projects, the Federal agency shall use form NRCS-CPA-106 in place
of form AD-1006. The Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) process may also be accessed by visiting the FPPA website, httn:Hfppa.nres.usda.gov/less
Step 2 - Originator (Federal Agency) will send one original copy of the form together with appropriate scaled maps indicating location(s)of project site(s), to the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) local Field Office or USDA Service Center and retain a copy for their files. (NRCS has offices in most counties in the
U.S. The USDA Office Information Locator may be found at http://offices.usda.gov/scripts/ndISAPI.dll/oip public/USA_map, or the offices can usually be
found in the Phone Book under U.S. Government, Department of Agriculture. A list of field offices is available from the NRCS State Conservationist and State
Office in each State.)
Step 3 - NRCS will, within 10 working days after receipt of the completed form, make a determination as to whether the site(s) of the proposed project contains prime,
unique, statewide or local important farmland. (When a site visit or land evaluation system design is needed, NRCS will respond within 30 working days.
Step 4 - For sites where farmland covered by the FPPA will be converted by the proposed project, NRCS will complete Parts II, IV and V of the form.
Step 5 - NRCS will return the original copy of the form to the Federal agency involved in the project, and retain a file copy for NRCS records.
Step 6 - The Federal agency involved in the proposed project will complete Parts VI and VII of the form and return the form with the final selected site to the servicing
NRCS office.
Step 7 - The Federal agency providing financial or technical assistance to the proposed project will make a determination as to whether the proposed conversion is consistent
with the FPPA.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE FARMLAND CONVERSION IMPACT RATING FORM
(For Federal Agency)
Part I: When completing the "County and State" questions, list all the local governments that are responsible for local land
use controls where site(s) are to be evaluated.
Part III: When completing item B (Total Acres To Be Converted Indirectly), include the following
1. Acres not being directly converted but that would no longer be capable of being farmed after the conversion, because the
conversion would restrict access to them or other major change in the ability to use the land for agriculture.
2. Acres planned to receive services from an infrastructure project as indicated in the project justification (e.g. highways,
utilities planned build out capacity) that will cause a direct conversion.
Part VI: Do not complete Part VI using the standard format if a State or Local site assessment is used. With local and NRCS
assistance, use the local Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA).
1. Assign the maximum points for each site assessment criterion as shown in § 658.5(b) of CFR. In cases of corridor -type
project such as transportation, power line and flood control, criteria #5 and #6 will not apply and will, be weighted zero,
however, criterion #8 will be weighed a maximum of 25 points and criterion #11 a maximum of 25 points.
2. Federal agencies may assign relative weights among the 12 site assessment criteria other than those shown on the
FPPA rule after submitting individual agency FPPA policy for review and comment to NRCS. In all cases where other
weights are assigned, relative adjustments must be made to maintain the maximum total points at 160. For project sites
where the total points equal or exceed 160, consider alternative actions, as appropriate, that could reduce adverse
impacts (e.g. Alternative Sites, Modifications or Mitigation).
Part VII: In computing the "Total Site Assessment Points" where a State or local site assessment is used and the total
maximum number of points is other than 160, convert the site assessment points to a base of 160.
Example: if the Site Assessment maximum is 200 points, and the alternative Site "A" is rated 180 points:
Total points assigned Site A 180 X 160 = 144 points for Site A
Maximum points possible — 200
For assistance in completing this form or FPPA process, contact the local NRCS Field Office or USDA Service Center.
NRCS employees, consult the FPPA Manual and/or policy for additional instructions to complete the AD-1006 form.

Dear Ms. Deaton:
The purpose of this letter is to request review and comment from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission with
respect to potential fish and wildlife impacts associated with the above referenced project. The RHBRS is situated
on the northwestern side of Buncombe County. The site is located approximately 4 miles south of the Town of
Leicester, North Carolina. Specifically, the site is on Green Valley Road (SR 1383) south of NC-63. The site is
within the 06010105 Watershed Cataloging Unit (8-digit HUC) of the French Broad River Basin and the 14-digit
HUC 06010105090020 (Figure 2). Land use is primarily farmland, woodland, and rural development (Figure 3).
The site (Figure 4) is currently under investigation as a stream restoration project for the North Carolina Department
of Environmental Quality Division of Mitigation Services (DMS). The funding for this project comes from the
USDOT Federal Highway Administration through the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The RHBRS
has undergone significant modifications that have altered the site hydrology and vegetation. The primary impacts to
the system were associated with channelization and clearing throughout the site to utilize the resources in support of
agricultural production. Restoration work on the site includes: the realignment of the project streams within the
valley and reconnecting their relic floodplains, removing spoil from historic channelization, excluding cattle from
the project resources, and the establishment of a native riparian buffer. As part of the environmental documentation
process (Categorical Exclusion), coordination with the NCWRC and the USFWS is required for compliance with the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act and the Endangered Species Act.
Following the review of the included documentation, please provide a determination of the potential effects to
wildlife associated with this project. Please feel free to contact me at tim.morrisAkci.com, or 919-278-2511, should
you have any questions or require any further information concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with
this project. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Subject: Notification of Uniform Act Provisions
KCI Job Number — 161802916
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Russel:
As part of the environmental documentation process in preparation for the stream and wetland restoration project on
your property, this letter is to inform you of provisions in the Federal Highway Administration Uniform Relocation
Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, referred to as the Uniform Act.
The Uniform Act was developed to provide for uniform and equitable treatment of persons displaced from their
homes, businesses, non-profit associations, or farms by federal and federally -assisted programs, and establishes
uniform and equitable land acquisition policies. The Act assures that such persons are treated fairly, consistently,
and equitably, and so that they will not suffer disproportionate injuries.
This act applies to any project which utilizes federal funds for the purchase of any interest in real property, including
conservation easements. A portion of the funding for this project is ultimately provided by the US Department of
Transportation, through the NC Department of Transportation for in -kind mitigation to offset impacts from
transportation projects in the area, and therefore we are required to inform you of the following provisions.
The provisions of this act require that we inform you in writing that this conservation easement transaction is
voluntary and that the project is being developed by KCI for the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services
(NCDMS), and as a result, KCI or NCDMS does not have the authority to acquire the property by eminent domain
in the event negotiations fail to reach an amicable agreement. In addition, the Act requires that we indicate the
agreed purchase price of $15,000 per acre.
This letter is for your information, and no response is necessary. Please feel free to contact me at 919-278-2511,
should you have any questions or require any further information.

STEPS IN THE PROCESSING THE FARMLAND AND CONVERSION IMPACT RATING FORM
Step 1 - Federal agencies (or Federally funded projects) involved in proposed projects that may convert farmland, as defined in the Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA)
to nonagricultural uses, will initially complete Parts I and III of the form. For Corridor type projects, the Federal agency shall use form NRCS-CPA-106 in place
of form AD-1006. The Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA) process may also be accessed by visiting the FPPA website, httn:Hfppa.nres.usda.gov/less
Step 2 - Originator (Federal Agency) will send one original copy of the form together with appropriate scaled maps indicating location(s)of project site(s), to the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) local Field Office or USDA Service Center and retain a copy for their files. (NRCS has offices in most counties in the
U.S. The USDA Office Information Locator may be found at http://offices.usda.gov/scripts/ndISAPI.dll/oip public/USA_map, or the offices can usually be
found in the Phone Book under U.S. Government, Department of Agriculture. A list of field offices is available from the NRCS State Conservationist and State
Office in each State.)
Step 3 - NRCS will, within 10 working days after receipt of the completed form, make a determination as to whether the site(s) of the proposed project contains prime,
unique, statewide or local important farmland. (When a site visit or land evaluation system design is needed, NRCS will respond within 30 working days.
Step 4 - For sites where farmland covered by the FPPA will be converted by the proposed project, NRCS will complete Parts II, IV and V of the form.
Step 5 - NRCS will return the original copy of the form to the Federal agency involved in the project, and retain a file copy for NRCS records.
Step 6 - The Federal agency involved in the proposed project will complete Parts VI and VII of the form and return the form with the final selected site to the servicing
NRCS office.
Step 7 - The Federal agency providing financial or technical assistance to the proposed project will make a determination as to whether the proposed conversion is consistent
with the FPPA.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE FARMLAND CONVERSION IMPACT RATING FORM
(For Federal Agency)
Part I: When completing the "County and State" questions, list all the local governments that are responsible for local land
use controls where site(s) are to be evaluated.
Part III: When completing item B (Total Acres To Be Converted Indirectly), include the following
1. Acres not being directly converted but that would no longer be capable of being farmed after the conversion, because the
conversion would restrict access to them or other major change in the ability to use the land for agriculture.
2. Acres planned to receive services from an infrastructure project as indicated in the project justification (e.g. highways,
utilities planned build out capacity) that will cause a direct conversion.
Part VI: Do not complete Part VI using the standard format if a State or Local site assessment is used. With local and NRCS
assistance, use the local Land Evaluation and Site Assessment (LESA).
1. Assign the maximum points for each site assessment criterion as shown in § 658.5(b) of CFR. In cases of corridor -type
project such as transportation, power line and flood control, criteria #5 and #6 will not apply and will, be weighted zero,
however, criterion #8 will be weighed a maximum of 25 points and criterion #11 a maximum of 25 points.
2. Federal agencies may assign relative weights among the 12 site assessment criteria other than those shown on the
FPPA rule after submitting individual agency FPPA policy for review and comment to NRCS. In all cases where other
weights are assigned, relative adjustments must be made to maintain the maximum total points at 160. For project sites
where the total points equal or exceed 160, consider alternative actions, as appropriate, that could reduce adverse
impacts (e.g. Alternative Sites, Modifications or Mitigation).
Part VII: In computing the "Total Site Assessment Points" where a State or local site assessment is used and the total
maximum number of points is other than 160, convert the site assessment points to a base of 160.
Example: if the Site Assessment maximum is 200 points, and the alternative Site "A" is rated 180 points:
Total points assigned Site A 180 X 160 = 144 points for Site A
Maximum points possible — 200
For assistance in completing this form or FPPA process, contact the local NRCS Field Office or USDA Service Center.
NRCS employees, consult the FPPA Manual and/or policy for additional instructions to complete the AD-1006 form.

SUBJECT: Round Hill Branch Stream and Wetland Restoration Project
Morgan Branch Stream Restoration Project
Dear Mr. Morris:
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) received your May 7,
2018 letters regarding plans for stream restoration projects on (1) Round Hill Branch and unnamed
tributaries (UTs) and (2) Morgan Branch and UTs and UTs to Newfound Creek in Buncombe County.
You requested review and comment on the project. Our comments on this project are offered for your
consideration under provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The Round Hill Branch project will involve stream restoration on 2,190 ft of stream. The Morgan Branch
project will involve stream restoration and preservation on 14,656 ft of stream (Option A) or 18,162 ft of
stream (Option B) as well as agricultural best management practices. Neither project should impact wild
trout resources or other known significant aquatic resources.
We recommend that riparian buffers that are to be reestablished be as wide as possible, given site
constraints and landowner needs. NCWRC generally recommends a woody buffer of 100 feet on
perennial streams in order to maximize the benefits of buffers, including bank stability, stream shading,
treatment of overland runoff, and wildlife habitat.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Please contact me at (828) 803-
6054 if you have any questions about these comments.
Sincerely,

RE: Round Hill Branch Restoration Project
Dear Joseph Sullivan:
NCNHDE-5675
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas
within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural
heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have
been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists.
In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may
update our records.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature
Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) easement,
or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Rodney A. Butler at [e-mail] or 919.707.8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program
