The project as currently designed provides single-family lots and open space that will remain undisturbed. The site Will be accessed on Sundowner Lane from NC 210. The project
contains several road stubs that are a requirement of Harnett County for interconnectivity and future emergency access. The applicant does not control any activities on the adjoining
parcels where these studs are required to be placed. No detrimental indirect impacts are anticipated to result from this project. Typical construction equipment will be used including
graders, dump trucks, excavators, etc.

Comments
Stub roads are a town requirement. The town requires developments to stub to undeveloped properties for cross access. The locations were chosen based on the layout of the internal
streets for the project. The streets were extended to any large undeveloped tracts as required by the town. There is not a requirement as to where on the property that the road is
stubbed as long as it is stubbed. The applicant is not responsible for any activities that may occur on adjacent parcels.

Project: Spring Village County: Harnett
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in-
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant’s responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy
of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in-lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the
impact amounts shown below.
River Basin Impact Location
(8-digit HUC) Impact Type Impact Quantity
Cape Fear 03030006 Riparian Wetland 0.11
Upon receipt of payment, DMS will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. The
mitigation will be performed in accordance with the In-Lieu Fee Program instrument dated July 28, 2010.
Thank you for your interest in the DMS in-lieu fee mitigation program. If you have any questions or need
additional information, please contact Kelly.Williams@ncdenr.gov.

Re: Ogburn Property
Michaux’s Sumac Survey Results
__________________________________________________________________________
On September 11, 2020, Terracon biologist Rhiannon Graham completed the survey for the
federally endangered Michaux’s sumac (Rhus michauxii) on the Ogburn Property located in
Angier, Harnett County, NC. The survey was intended to document the presence or absence of
this species in previously identified areas of potential habitat. The letter of findings completed for
this project by Terracon in April 2020 identified areas of potential habitat; however, surveys could
not be conducted at that time because the survey window for Michaux’s sumac is May-October.
Ms. Graham visited a reference population of Michaux’s sumac located in Knightdale, NC before
entering the project study area. Once in the project study area, the areas of potential habitat were
surveyed by walking pedestrian transects and visually searching for the species. Common species
that were identified within the project study area include winged sumac (Rhus copallinum), Canada
goldenrod (Solidago altissima) and dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium). No Michaux’s sumac
was identified. These results lead us to conclude that Michaux’s sumac is not present in the study
area and the proposed activities in the area will have No Effect on this species.
No additional outstanding protected species issues remain associated with this project. Please let
us know if you have any questions.

Re: Construct residential development on Ogburn property, 152 Sundowner Lane, Angier, Harnett
County, ER 20-2106
Dear Ms. McKay:
Thank you for your email of September 22, 2020, regarding the above-referenced undertaking. We have
reviewed the submission and offer the following comments. We apologize for the delay in our response and
any inconvenience it may have caused.
There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area. Based on our knowledge of the
area, it is unlikely that any archaeological resources that may be eligible for inclusion in the National
Register of Historic Places will be affected by the project. We, therefore, recommend that no
archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project.
However, we are unable to accurately assess impacts to historic properties within the Area of Potential
Effect. Please provide photographs and descriptions of all structures 50 years or older within the APE. A
statement of intent should also be included and clarify if the structures will be unchanged, relocated, or
demolished.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36
CFR Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-814-6579
or environmental.review@ncdcr.gov. In all future communication concerning this project, please cite the
above-referenced tracking number.

1.Ground Surface Condition/Vegetation Condition – assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider alteration to the ground surface (GS) in the assessment area and vegetation structure
(VS) in the assessment area. Compare to reference wetland if applicable (see User Manual). If a reference is not applicable,
then rate the assessment area based on evidence of an effect.
GS
A A Not severely altered
B B Severely altered over a majority of the assessment area (ground surface alteration examples: vehicle tracks, excessive
sedimentation, fire-plow lanes, skidder tracks, bedding, fill, soil compaction, obvious pollutants) (vegetation structure
alteration examples: mechanical disturbance, herbicides, salt intrusion [where appropriate], exotic species, grazing,
less diversity [if appropriate], hydrologic alteration)
2.Surface and Sub-Surface Storage Capacity and Duration – assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider surface storage capacity and duration (Surf) and sub-surface storage capacity and
duration (Sub). Consider both increase and decrease in hydrology. Refer to the current NRCS lateral effect of ditching guidance for
North Carolina hydric soils (see USACE Wilmington District website) for the zone of influence of ditches in hydric soils. A ditch
≤ 1 foot deep is considered to affect surface water only, while a ditch > 1 foot deep is expected to affect both surface and ditch
sub-surface water. Consider tidal flooding regime, if applicable.
Surf
A A Water storage capacity and duration are not altered.
B B Water storage capacity or duration are altered, but not substantially (typically, not sufficient to change vegetation).
C C Water storage capacity or duration are substantially altered (typically, alteration sufficient to result in vegetation
change) (examples: draining, flooding, soil compaction, filling, excessive sedimentation, underground utility lines).
3.Water Storage/Surface Relief – assessment area/wetland type condition metric (answer for non-marsh wetlands only)
