While the need for the road connection has been provided the justification for the lot fill has not. NCSAM and NCWAM are field -based rapid assessment methods and should not be used to predict future function. Additionally, the direct impact of fill within the wetlands would result in a total loss. Based on past experience, subdivisions have been designed to avoid wetland fill for the purpose of lot fill. Please redesign to avoid wetland impacts for lot fill or provide information to support compliance with general conditions 23 (a) and (b). 2) In reviewing the response for comment 2 in the email below it is still unclear if impacts at Impact Area F have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable as required by general conditions 23 (a) and (b). The requested justification for the lot fill has not provided. NCSAM and NCWAM are field -based rapid assessment methods and should not be used to predict future function. Additionally, the direct impact of fill within stream channel would result in a total loss. Based on past experience, subdivisions have been designed to avoid stream channel fill for the purpose of lot fill. Please redesign to avoid stream channel impacts for lot fill or provide information to support compliance with general conditions 23 (a) and (b). 3) Please see comment 5 below. Impacts A and D still show the rip rap dissipator pads as part of the "Temporary Stream 'No Loss' Impact" on both the maps and the impact table. Impact H maps still labels the rip rap as "Temporary Stream 'No Loss' Impact" but the impact map appears to have been updated to include the rip rap as a permanent -no loss impact. Please revise the plans and impact table to show the embedded rip rap as permanent impacts. Please submit the above information within 30 days of receipt of this Notification or we may consider your application withdrawn and close the file.

The need residential development is not disputed; however, you have not demonstrated avoidance and minimization to the maximum extent practicable as required by NWP General Conditions 23(a) and (b). For example, given the scale 2 of the site (455 residential lots), it appears that impacts at Impact Area C for lot fill could be avoided or minimized while still achieving the project purpose. Please redesign to avoid or minimize to the maximum extent practicable or provide additional information to justify the proposed fill. Alternatives to the proposed design in this area were considered (i.e. elimination of the adjacent lots that resulted in total resource loss and "stubbing" of the road(s) at the crossing). Continuity of the road at this location is necessary for both traffic connectivity and public safety. As a result, this alternative was removed from consideration. It was determined that elimination of some or all of the lots north of the required crossing would negatively impact this feature's hydrology, which would result in significant functional loss, if not complete impact. To document/quantify this, SEI completed two iterations of the North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (WAM; attached). The wetland feature rated medium, based on its existing condition. By revising the design (conceptually) to avoid fill of this feature, except as necessary for the road, the quality of the wetland changed from medium to low, due to anticipated changes to hydrologic connectivity, a drastically reduced/eliminated buffer area, and significant adjacent land use changes. Based on the proposed design, the loss of the feature's upslope function is accounted for (i.e. included as an impact) and, as a result, a 2:1 mitigation:impact ratio is proposed to offset it (i.e. purchase of mitigation credits within a highly functioning mitigation site protected in perpetuity under a conservation easement). Please see the attached WAM forms referenced above: one representing existing conditions (medium rating) and the other considering avoidance of direct impacts to it (i.e. fill: low rating). 2) Based on the application the project proposes to discharge fill material at Impact Area F. The need residential development is not disputed; however, you have not demonstrated avoidance and minimization to the maximum extent practicable as required by NWP General Conditions 23(a) and (b). For example, given the scale of the site (455 residential lots), it appears that impacts at Impact Area F for lot fill could be avoided or minimized while still achieving the project purpose. Please redesign to avoid or minimize to the maximum extent practicable or provide additional information to justify the proposed fill. Avoidance of direct impacts (i.e. fill) within this area were considered. In order to determine the resultant impacts to stream function, if any, SEI completed a North Carolina Stream Assessment Method (SAM) evaluation for this feature, for both existing and anticipated post -construction conditions. The results documented that, under existing conditions, the stream is of medium functional quality. By avoiding impacts to this feature but proceeding with development of the adjacent areas (note: this feature was determined by NCDWR to NOT have at least intermittent hydrology and, as a result, it is NOT subject to the Jordan Lake Buffer Rules) the feature's quality is rated as low, due to anticipated streamside impacts such as conversion to maintained lawn, drastically reduced buffer area, and anticipated increases of water quality stressors. Under the proposed design, the loss of function of the feature's upstream portions are accounted for and offset, using a 2:1 mitigation:impact ratio (i.e. purchase of mitigation credits within a highly functioning mitigation site protected in perpetuity under a conservation easement). Please see the attached SAM forms referenced above: one representing existing conditions (medium rating) and the other considering avoidance of direct impacts to it (i.e. fill: low rating). 3) Generally speaking, elevated boardwalk pilings are evaluated as structures and not a discharge of fill material. Based on the spacing of the pilings it appears that the proposed activities at Impact Area G does not result in a permanent discharge of fill material. However, typically boardwalks within forested wetlands are viewed as permanent conversion impacts because of a partial loss of function through conversion of forested wetlands to herbaceous wetlands. Conversion impacts would consists of areas that forested wetlands are converted and maintained as herbaceous wetlands through maintenance in perpetuity. Please update the PCN impact table, plans and compensatory mitigation plan to account for permanent wetland convers. Typically a 1:1 ratio compensatory mitigation ratio is required to ensure minimal adverse effects. Please see updated site plans included in the attached, updated PCN. 3 4) Based on the application the proposed activities will result in a loss of 0.026 acre of streambed and 0.4201 acres of wetlands. Per General Condition 23 and Regional Condition 7 a compensatory mitigation plan is required. Typically, compensatory mitigation is required at a 2:1 credit to impact ratio unless otherwise justified based on evaluation of aquatic function (NCSAM and NCWAM). Please provide a compensatory mitigation plan to include a proposed mitigation ratio and ILF letter and/or SOA. Please see SOAs included in the attached, updated PCN. 5) Note: the proposed activities that consists of installation of riprap within streambed is viewed as a permanent impact because fille will be permanently placed within the streambed. As proposed (embedded to match preexisting elevations/contours) are typically viewed as permanent impacts that do not result in a total loss of feature and therefore typically mitigation is not required. It appears that riprap will be installed downstream at Impact Areas A, D and H. Please see updated site plans included in the attached, updated PCN. 6) Based on review of the proposed plans (Retreat at Friendship) and review of the previously authorized impacts for the construction of Horton Ridge Blvd. it is unclear if additional wetland impacts are proposed at wetland "W13" depicted on the "Wetlands/Stream Map". It appears that impacts to a portion of W13 was authorized, however, it is unclear if additional impacts are occurring for lot construction. Based on the JD "W13" was approximately 0.13 acres in size and only 0.09 acres of fill was authorized. If fill is proposed within "W13" for proposed lot fill then a redesign to avoid and minimize to the maximum extent practicable or additional information is required to justify the proposed fill (see comment 1 and 2 above). The acreage calculations within the JD were based on preliminary GPS data, while the quantities in the plans are based on formal survey data. The latter is more accurate. The Horton Ridge Blvd. application covered 3,996 SF, which is the entire area of feature W13. Therefore, impacts to the areas depicted currently under lot development have already been permitted. The feature is shown as an existing condition because the Horton Ridge impact has not yet been completed. Best, SPANGLER R EN V1 ROMA EPLTAL. INC.

Ward Marotti Spangler Environmental Charlotte, North Carolina February 2022 Prepared by: 1 Glenwood Avenue, Suite 600 Raleigh, NC 27603 Contact Person: Chris Sheats csheats@sepiinc.com 919-417-2732 1.0 INTRODUCTION Freshwater mussel surveys were conducted in Little Beaver Creek based on recommendations by the United States Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) for Preconstruction Notification (PCN) SAW 2020-00386. The site is located approximately three miles upstream of the confluence with Jordan Lake of the Cape Fear River Basin. The United States Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) GIS planning tool lists one "Threatened" aquatic species, Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), as potentially being affected by the project. SEPI Inc., was contracted by Spangler Environmental, Inc. to conduct surveys targeting the Atlantic Pigtoe as part of the permitting process that requires an evaluation of potential project -related impacts to federally protected species. 2.0 PROTECTED SPECIES DESCRIPTION 2.1 Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni) 2.1.1 Species Characteristics The Atlantic Pigtoe is a freshwater mussel reaching up to 60mm in length. This species is characterized by having a sub -rhomboidal shaped shell with a distinct posterior ridge. The umbo is elevated well above the dorsal margin and the beak cavity is shallow. The periostracum is yellow to dark brown and has a parchment- like texture (Bogan 2002, Bogan and Alderman 2008). Pseudocardinal and lateral teeth are well developed except for the anterior pseudocardinal tooth in the right valve, while the interdental tooth is absent in the left valve (USFWS 2018b). The Atlantic Pigtoe is a tachytictic breeder, gravid females have been found from late June to early July (Fuller 1973). Fish hosts for this species include Bluegill Sunfish, Shield Darter, Longnose Dace, Rosefin Shiner and Creek Chub (Watters and O'Dee 1997, Wolf and Emrick 2011). 2.1.2 Distribution and Habitat Requirements The Atlantic Pigtoe is endemic to the southern Atlantic Slope and is found from the Ogeechee River Basin in Georgia to the James River Basin in Virginia. In North Carolina, this species is known from the Catawba, Pee Dee, Cape Fear, Neuse, Tar -Pamlico and Roanoke River Basins (Johnson 1970, Bogan 2002). This species can be found in medium to large streams with clean, swift waters and a stable gravel or sand and gravel substrate. Individuals are often found on the downstream edge of riffle areas. 4.0 SURVEY EFFORTS Atlantic Pigtoe surveys were conducted by Chris Sheats (ES Permit # 22-ES00558) and Tori Fowler on February 1, 2022. 4.1 Methodology Freshwater mussel surveys were completed by a 2-person survey team using bathyscopes, visual and tactile survey methods. The survey reach extended from 500 meters downstream of the proposed Permanent Wetland Impact 2 to 100 meters upstream of the proposed Permanent Wetland Impact 3 (Appendix A). 5.0 RESULTS Freshwater mussel surveys were conducted for a total of 4 person hours within Little Beaver Creek. During the survey, all UTs flowing into Little Beaver Creek within the survey reach were evaluated for appropriate Atlantic Pigtoe habitat, and none was observed. No Atlantic Pigtoe individuals were observed during survey. No freshwater mussels, clams, or snails were observed during this survey. During the survey, Little Beaver Creek's stream width was 0.5 to 2 meters with depths ranging from 0.25 to 1 meter in the downstream portion of the survey. Substrate was dominated by unconsolidated sand and silt with few areas of gravel present. Pool and run habitats were present within the reach. Water levels were normal, and visibility was clear during surveys. This site had 90% forest cover with narrow, wooded buffers and a surrounding natural, sub -urban land -use. Beginning just downstream of Permanent Stream Impact 1, the stream channel is inundated from a series of beaver dams ranging from 1.5-2.5 meters in height and expanding 3 to 6 meters across Little Beaver Creek floodplain. The floodplain was inundated with very little flow. 6.0 DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS Atlantic Pigtoe was not observed in Little Beaver Creek. Based on the distance to known occurrences of Atlantic Pigtoe individuals and the results of this survey, this project is not anticipated to have negative impacts to the Atlantic Pigtoe. Due to the presence of habitat, the project biological conclusion for Atlantic Pigtoe is "May Affect; Not Likely to Adversely Affect". Critical habitat is not present in the survey reach, therefore the biological conclusion for critical habitat is "No Effect". The survey efforts detailed in the report serve to update species information within the surveyed portions of Little Beaver Creek. Atlantic Pigtoe Biological Conclusion: May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect Habitat for the species was observed but no individuals were found. Biological Conclusion for Critical Habitat: No Effect Proposed critical habitat for Atlantic Pigtoe is not located within the study area, suggesting that the proposed project will have no effect on proposed critical habitat for this species. 7.0 LITERATURE CITED Bogan, AE. 2002.

Indicate Which of the Following Apply: A. Preliminary Determination There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated February 2020. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction. ❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. B. Approved Determination ❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are waters, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. ❑ The waters, including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by the Corps.

The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate. 2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.
