Dear Ms. Higgins:
Please find one courtesy copy of the Pre - Construction Notification Application for the above
referenced site. The site is located southwest of the intersection of Moss Street and South
Main Street in Waco, Cleveland County, North Carolina. The site contains wooded land and
fields. Structures are not located on the site. The site is being developed with a solar farm.
ECS completed a wetland delineation on the site in January 2012. Mr. Steve Kichefski with the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) verified the delineation and issued a Jurisdictional
Determination on July 13, 2012.
To access the site, a perennial stream will be impacted by a proposed road. The proposed
road crossing will impact 67 linear feet of stream channel. Of the 67 linear feet of stream
impacts, 54 linear feet of the stream channel will be permanently impacted by a culvert and
assoicated rip -rap. Thirteen linear feet of stream channel will be temporarily impacted by a
check dam /sandbags. Mitigation is not proposed due to permanent stream impacts being below
150 linear feet.
For your records and on behalf of Waco Farm, LLC, I am submitting a courtesy copy of the
permit application and associated exhibits that provide details pertaining to the projectrimpacts.
It is our understanding that a 401 Water Quality Certification and/or Buffer Authorization are not
required by the NCDWQ provided that the conditions comply with Water Quality Certification
Number 3890.
Please feel free to contact me at (336) 856 -7150 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Because of the proposed use of the site as a solar farm, a road must be constructed to provide access to the site. The road
will permanently impact 54 linear feet of stream and temporarily impact 13 linear feet of stream.The stream impact was
designed to occur in an area where the stream channel is relatively straight.
The solar array and necessary infrastructure (overhead/underground voltage lines, inverters, etc) has been designed to avoid
impacts to Jurisdictional streams, wetlands and ponds.
There is approximately 0.85 acres of wetlands and approximately 5,195 feet of stream channel on the site. The wetlands and
remaining 5,141 linear feet of stream channel are being avioded.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The clearing limits will be staked and silt fence will be used. A temporary coffer dam will be installed upgradient of the
proposed culvert. During construction, water will be pumped around the construction footprint. Appropriate stream bank
protection will be provied in the channel during construction and all excess excavated material will be immediately removed
from the stream bank crossing area. Upon completion of the culvert installation, the temporary sand bag coffer dams will be
removed and flow will be diverted through the culvert. Following construction, disturbed slopes will be matted and seeded.

Dear Mr. Conchilla:
Subject: Proposed Solar Array, Waco Farm, LLC, 428 South Main Street, Waco, Cleveland County,
North Carolina (ECS Proposal 06.15367)
We received your letter dated February 6, 2012, requesting our comments on the subject project.
(Please note that you sent the letter to our Raleigh Field Office. They received it on February 8, 2012
and they then forwarded it to us and we received it February 12, 2012. In the future, you would
receive our responses in a more timely fashion if requests were sent to the appropriate office. To
assist you with this, attached is a list of North Carolina's counties showing which ones are handled
by our respective offices in North Carolina) The following comments are provided in accordance
with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.§ 4321 et seq.); the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 703); and section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 -1543) (Act).
According to our records and a review of the information you provided, no federally listed species or
their habitats occur on the subject site. Therefore, we believe the requirements under section 7 of the
Act are fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if (1) new
information reveals impacts of these identified actions that may affect listed species or critical habitat
in a manner not previously considered, (2) these actions are subsequently modified in a manner that
was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that
may be affected by the identified actions.
Thank you for allowing us to comment on this project. Please contact Mr. Allen Ratzlaffof our staff
at 828/258 -3939, Ext 229, if you have any questions. In any future correspondence concerning this
project, please reference our Log Number 4.2- 12 -097.

Dear Mr. Conchilia:
The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, significant natural heritage
areas, or conservation/managed areas at the project site nor within a mile of the project area. Although our maps do not
show records of such natural heritage elements in the project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present.
It may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be
substituted for actual field surveys, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species, significant
natural communities, or priority natural areas.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at www.ncnhp.org for a listing of rare plants and
animals and significant natural communities in the county and on the quad map. Our Program also has a new website that
allows users to obtain information on element occurrences and significant natural heritage area within two miles of a
given location: <http://nhpweb.enr.statc.nc.us/publidvirtual-workroom.phtml>. The user name is "guest" and the
password is your e-mail address (see instructions on log -in screen). You may want to click "Help" for more information.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 919.707 -8603 if you have questions or need further information.

Dear Mr. Conchilla:
Thank you for your letter of February 6, 2012, concerning the above project.
Based on the topographic and hydrological situation, we have determined that there is a high probability that
archaeological sites may exist within the project area. We therefore recommend that if any earth moving
activities are scheduled to take place, that a comprehensive archaeological survey be conducted by an
experienced archaeologist to identify and evaluate the significance of any archaeological remains that may be
damaged or destroyed by the proposed project. Pirate note that our offin am >' gwts cmuaka kx si4 the O im of
StateArrhaeology to dimes apprl nrak field methodology fi or to the xrbaeolggiarl field konq0m
If an archaeological field investigation is conducted, two copies of the resulting archaeological survey report, as
well as one copy of the appropriate site forms should be forwarded to us for review and comment as soon as
they are available and well in advance of any earth moving activities.
We have determined that the project as proposed will not have an effect on any historic structures.
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,
please contact Renee Gledhill- Eadey, environmental review coordinator, at 919- 807 -6579. In all future
communication concerning this project, please cite the above - referenced tracking number.

Dear Dr. May.
Thank you for your letter of June 12, 2012, transmitting the above referenced report. The report author notes
that three newly recorded - archaeological resources (31CL116 -118) were identified during the above
investigation and were determined not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. We
concur with this assessment and are of the opinion that no further archaeological investigations are necessary
or warranted.
