1. Avoidance and Minimization

la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed delineation be conducted so that impacts to wetlands and "waters" could be minimized.
Proposed permanent impacts for construction of the subdivision and infrastructure have been minimized to only those necessary for construction of two
road crossings to access developable uplands within the site. There are no impacts proposed for construction lots, utilities, stormwater management, or
greenways. All road crossings have been designed to cross wetlands and stream perpendicularly at the narrowest points to minimize impacts.
Impacts to Stream 2 are unavoidable because the only way to access developable uplands in the western portion of the site is to cross the stream. It
was deemed not feasible to choose an alternate location for Copley Court to avoid wetland impacts as this would have required the road be positioned at
the northern end of the site near the cul-de-sac of Flatiron Forest Drive. While this location would have avoided wetland impacts, it is not a logical
location and would have resulted in the loss of lots thereby making the project unfeasible. A riprap dissipator will be constructed at the Copley Court
crossing such that the riprap will be installed by burying to match the pre -construction contours of the natural stream bed, allowing for the passage of
aquatic life, and preventing a loss of function.
Proposed permanent wetland impacts for the culverted crossing of Wetland C by Flatiron Forest Drive were primarily driven by the placement of SCM 1
in a low area between Wetlands C and D for the gravity driven stormwater drainage for the roadway. Hydrologic connectivity between Wetland C and
downstream waters will be maintained through the culvert and SCM 1.
Upon completion of construction, all temporarily impacted streams will be restored to pre -construction conditions and grades, and temporarily stabilized
with biodegradable matting and seeded with a riparian seed mix. No matting will be placed on the stream bed.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Access during construction will occur within uplands. Additionally, sediment and erosion control measures will be installed prior to construction.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
Yes • No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Proposed permanent stream impacts are less than 0.02 acres and proposed permanent wetland impacts are less than 0.10 acres. Therefore, compensatory mitigation is not proposed.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
What type of SCM are you providing?
Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
Other SCM that removes minimum 30% nitrogen
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250? *
Yes No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
Yes No
2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater program?
Yes No
N/A - project disturbs < 1 acre
2d. Which of the following stormwater management program(s) apply:
Local Government State
Local Government Stormwater Programs
Phase II NSW USMP Water Supply
Please identify which local government stormwater program you are using.
Chatham County
Comments:
The stormwater management plan consists of two constructed stormwater wetland SCMs which provide a minimum of 30% nitrogen removal and therefore diffuse flow is not required. The
stormwater management plan will be reviewed and approved by the Chatham County as the certified local municipality.
G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
la. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?*

Proposed Project
The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a single-family residential subdivision to meet
the existing and growing demand for residential housing in Chatham County.
The project consists of the following:
29 single family home lots
Construction of infrastructure (roads, greenways, open space, utilities, stormwater
management, etc.)
The proposed design for the internal roads will result in one stream crossing. Copley Court will
cross Stream 2 perpendicularly with a culvert. Riprap dissipators will be constructed below the
culverts to dissipate flow velocity to prevent erosion and sedimentation of the stream.
A second road, Flatiron Forest Drive will cross a narrow area of Wetland C with a culvert. A SCM
device is proposed at the other end of the proposed culvert.
Protect History
WithersRavenel conducted a delineation of the wetlands and streams in March 2022 which were
field verified by the USACE and issued a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (SAW-2022-
01047) on July 6, 2022. The USACE PJD and Approved Delineation Exhibit have been provided
as attachments.
SHPO issued a review letter on April 27, 2022, which has been provided as an attachment. SHPO
had no comments on the project as proposed.
Buffer subjectivity was verified by Chatham County on June 2, 2022. Chatham County Watershed
Department issued a Buffer Determination Letter on June 8, 2022, which has been provided as an
attachment.
WithersRavenel completed a survey for federally listed species in March 2022 and determined
that the proposed project would have No Effect on federally listed species or their critical habitat.
The results of the survey were submitted to the USFWS for review. In an email dated 6/16/2022,
John Ellis with the USFWS stated that the Service concurred with our determinations, which were
No Effect. A copy of the USFWS concurrence email, as well as the USFWS Concurrence Request
has been provided as an attachment.
WithersRavenel submitted the Pre -Filing Meeting Request via email on 9/19/2022. A copy of the
request email has been provided as an attachment.
Proposed Impacts
The proposed impacts consist of:
• 64 If (0.004 acres) of permanent functional loss stream impacts
• 55 If (0.001 acres) of permanent no functional loss stream impacts
• 15 If (0.001 acres) of temporary stream impacts
• 0.098 acres of permanent wetland impacts
• 0.042 acres of temporary wetland impacts
All proposed permanent stream impacts are necessary for the installation of the Copley Court road
crossing over Stream 2 (intermittent). The proposed Copley Court road crossing is necessary to
access the developable uplands in the western portion of the site. Copley Court has been designed

to cross Stream 2 perpendicularly using a 72" x 58' RCP to carry base flow of the stream and a 54"
x 58' RCP which will provide flood flow only. The culverts will be buried 12" below the stream bed.
64 linear feet of permanent stream impacts (Impact S2) with functional loss. Additionally, 0.075
acres of permanent wetland impacts (Impact W2) are proposed at this crossing. A riprap dissipator
will be installed below the culverts to prevent erosion and sedimentation of downstream waters
which will result in 25 linear feet of permanent stream impacts with no functional loss (Impact S3).
The riprap will be installed by burying the riprap such that the top of the riprap matches the pre -
construction contours of the natural stream bed, allowing for the passage of aquatic life and
preventing a loss of function of this section of stream channel.
During construction of the culverted road crossing, work will be completed "in the dry" by
constructing temporary coffer dams upstream and downstream of the culverts within the impact
areas and pumping flow around the construction area. 25 linear feet of temporary stream impacts
(Impacts S1 & S4) and 0.042 acres of temporary wetland impacts (Impact W1) are proposed for
construction of the crossing.
Wetland impacts to Wetland C are proposed for a crossing of the wetland to construct Flatiron
Forest Drive and to access developable uplands in the northern portion of the site. A narrow
portion of Wetland C (Impact W4-0.023 acres) is proposed to be permanently impacted by a
culverted road crossing.
The culvert under Flatiron Forest Drive is designed to convey water from Wetland C to SCM 1
(wet detention). Hydrologic connectivity between Wetlands C and B will be maintained through
this culvert and SCM 1. In a pre -application meeting with Ms. April Norton, USACE, on October 6,
2022, it was determined that this was an acceptable way to maintain connectivity between
Wetland C and downstream waters since SCM 1 is a wet pond that will have regular discharge
through the low flow orifice. No impacts to Wetland C will occur from construction of SCM 1.
Upon completion of construction, all temporarily impacted streams will be restored to pre -
construction contours and the banks will be stabilized using a biodegradable matting and seeded
with a riparian seed mix. No matting will be placed on the stream beds. Additionally, all
temporarily impacted wetlands will be restored to natural grade and seeded with a wetland seed
mix to provide temporary stabilization until natural revegetation permanently stabilizes these
areas.
Avoidance and Minimization
Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed delineation be conducted so that
impacts to wetlands and "waters" could be minimized.
Proposed permanent impacts for construction of the subdivision and infrastructure have been
minimized to only those necessary for construction of two road crossings to access developable
uplands within the site. There are no impacts proposed for construction lots, utilities, stormwater
management, or greenways. All road crossings have been designed to cross wetlands and stream
perpendicularly at the narrowest points to minimize impacts.
Impacts to Stream 2 are unavoidable because the only way to access developable uplands in the
western portion of the site is to cross the stream. It was deemed not feasible to choose an alternate
location for Copley Court to avoid wetland impacts as this would have required the road be
positioned at the northern end of the site near the cul-de-sac of Flatiron Forest Drive. While this
location would have avoided wetland impacts, it is not a logical location and would have resulted

in the loss of lots thereby making the project unfeasible. A riprap dissipator will be constructed at
the Copley Court crossing such that the riprap will be installed by burying to match the pre -
construction contours of the natural stream bed, allowing for the passage of aquatic life, and
preventing a loss of function.
Proposed permanent wetland impacts for the culverted crossing of Wetland C by Flatiron Forest
Drive were primarily driven by the placement of SCM 1 in a low area between Wetlands C and D
for the gravity driven stormwater drainage for the roadway. Hydrologic connectivity between
Wetland C and downstream waters will be maintained through the culvert and SCM 1.
Upon completion of construction, all temporarily impacted streams will be restored to pre -
construction conditions and grades, and temporarily stabilized with biodegradable matting and
seeded with a riparian seed mix. No matting will be placed on the stream bed.
Access during construction will occur within uplands. Additionally, sediment and erosion control
measures will be installed prior to construction.
Mitigation
Stream Mitigation
The proposed project will result in 0.004 acres (64 If) of permanent stream impacts with functional
loss. Because the proposed total permanent stream impacts with functional loss are below 0.02
acres, the applicant does not propose to compensatory mitigation for permanent stream impacts.
Wetland Mitigation
The proposed project will result in 0.098 acres of permanent wetland impacts. Because the
proposed total permanent wetland impacts are below 0.1 acres, the applicant does not propose to
provide compensatory mitigation for permanent wetland impacts.
Stormwater Management Plan
The stormwater management plan consists of two constructed stormwater wetland SCMs which
provide a minimum of 30% nitrogen removal and therefore diffuse flow is not required. The
stormwater management plan will be reviewed and approved by the Chatham County as the
certified local municipality.
Please feel free to call if you have questions or require additional information to complete your
review.
Sincerely,
Witherr-Ravenel

Nearest Waterway Haw River River Basin Cape Fear
USGS HUC 03030002 Coordinates Latitude: 35.7936
Longitude:-79.1293
Location description: The proiect site is approximately 42 acres located adiacent to Hamlets Chapel Road, near the town of
Pittsboro, Chatham Countv, North Carolina.
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 5/5/2022. 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 approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. We strongly
suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once

SAW-2022-01047
verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided
there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
❑ The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. 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.
❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (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.
❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact James Lastinger at 919-554-4884 ext 32 or
James.C.Lastinger(dusace. armv.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination
form dated 07/06/2022.
D. Remarks:
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water- Act jurisdiction for the particular site
identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security
Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request
a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

1. 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 7D (AID) for that review area based on an informed decision after
having discussed the various types of 7Ds 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 AID 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 AID before
accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AID 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 AID 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 AID or
a PJD, the 7D will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AID, 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 AID 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 subj ect review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could
be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Threatened & Endangered Species Assessment Report - Request for Concurrence
WR Project #02220132.00
Mr. Benjamin,
WithersRavenel (WR) has conducted a site review of the Flatiron Forest Subdivision review area
for the purpose of evaluating the presence of federally listed threatened and endangered species
and/or potential habitat within the review area. The review area is 42.69 acres and consists of all
of the one parcel (Chatham Co Parcel ID: 2014, 0.69 acres), and the 42-acre portion of the larger
parcel (Chatham Co Parcel ID: 2037, 92 acres) located east of Hamlets Chapel Road in Pittsboro,
Chatham County, North Carolina (Lat: 35.795104°N; Long:-79.128811°W).
The review area is located within the Cape Fear River Basin (HUC 03030002) and drains to the
Haw River. The NC Stream Index for the Haw River is 16-(28.75) and the Water Quality
Classification is WS-IV; NSW, CA.
WR surveyed the review area for the presence of federally listed threatened and endangered
species, or their potential habitat, protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This report
summarizes the findings of the survey.
Proposed Activities
The review area is being assessed to determine the viability of the site for the future
development of a residential neighborhood.
Site Conditions
The review area consists entirely of undeveloped woodlands and contains three streams and
small wetland complex. The onsite woodlands were characterized as pine plantation forest.
Based on a review of historical aerial imagery the property was logged/clearcut around 1985 and
reforested with rows of planted pine trees between 1999-2005. Since 2005, the pine forest has
been managed for silviculture, including periodic thinning of the pines. The vegetative
community within the review area has been classified as pine plantation forest which has a dense
canopy dominated by loblolly pine (Pinus toeda) and the understory sparsely vegetated with

Threatened & Endangered Species Review
Methodology
WR reviewed the US Fish and Wildlife Service's online threatened and endangered species
database, located at: http://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cntylist/nc_counties.htmi and the NC
Wildlife Resource Commission's "State and Federally Listed Endangered Wildlife Species of
North Carolina" publication, located at www.ncwildlife.org, to identify federally listed threatened
and endangered species known to occur in Chatham County, North Carolina.
WR summitted a request on 03/10/2022 for the official species list generated using USFWS'
Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaQ, located at https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/. This
species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as
proposed and designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of the project and
may be affected by the project. The IPaC list specified that there are six species (Red -cockaded
Woodpecker, Cape Fear Shiner, and Harperella) that may be within the project area or affected
by the project. The IPaC list has been provided as an attachment.
WR submitted a project review request to the NCNHP through their Data Explorer webpage,
located at: https://ncnhde.natureserve.org/, to identify known occurrences of federally listed
threatened or endangered species within 1.0 mile of the review area. The NCNHP project review
did not identify any known occurrences of federally listed species within the review area or
within 1.0 miles, as documented in the attached letter from NCNHP dated 03/10/2022.
On 03/30/2022, WR conducted a pedestrian survey to assess vegetative communities and
identify potential habitat for, or occurrences of federally listed species within or immediately
adjacent to the review area. The review area contained one vegetative community (pine
plantation forest) as discussed in the Site Conditions section of this report.
Species SvnODSIs and Preliminary Assessment Results
Plants and animals classified as Endangered (E) or Threatened (T) by the USFWS are protected
under the provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended. Plants and animals classified as Proposed (P) are currently proposed for official
designation of a protected species under the Endangered Species Act. The following table
presents federally listed species on the IPaC list dated 03/10/2022.

Bald Eagle (BGEPA)
Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forest in proximity to large bodies of open
water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically within 1.0 mile of
open water. WR reviewed the NC Natural Heritage Program GIS data to determine the location
of the known bald eagle nest sites and their distance from the review area. Based on the NCNHP
GIS data, there are no known occurrences of bald eagle nesting/roosting sites within 1.0 mile of
the review area. According to the 2022 NCNHP data, the nearest known bald eagle nest (EOID:
15747) is ±3.87 miles east of the review area. The US Fish and Wildlife Services' "National Bald
Eagle Management Guidelines" (May 2007), specifies that activities taking place in excess of 660'
from a Bald eagle nest will have no effect on the nesting activities.
During the pedestrian surveys, no bald eagles or their nests were observed within or adjacent to
the review area. Additionally, no bald eagles were observed in flight. The review area did not
contain large dominant trees with unobstructed access that could be used for nesting sites.
Furthermore, there is no potential foraging habitat within 2.0 miles and therefore a survey of the
areas within 660' of the review areas was not required.
Based on a lack of suitable nesting habitat, and lack of nearby records, WR concludes that the
project will have No Effect on bald eagles.
Biological Determination - No Effect
Red -Cockaded Woodpecker (E)
The red -cockaded woodpecker (RCW) occurs in extensive tracts of open stands of mature pines,
particularly longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), for foraging and nesting/roosting habitat, typically 70
to 100 acres or more. The red -cockaded woodpecker is rarely found in deciduous or mixed pine -
hardwoods. The RCW excavates cavities for nesting and roosting in living pine trees, aged 60
years or older, which are contiguous with pine stands at least 30 years of age to provide foraging
habitat. Optimal habitat is characterized as a broad savanna with a scattered overstory of large
pines and a dense groundcover containing a diversity of grass, forbs, and shrub species. Midstory
vegetation is sparse or absent. Frequent fires maintain the quality of the RCW's habitat. The
Page 3 of 6

foraging range of the RCW is normally no more than 0.5 miles. The review of the NCNHP GIS
data did not identify any known occurrences of RCW within 1.0 miles of the review area.
The onsite pine plantation forest is approximately 17-23 years of age based on historic aerials,
making them much too young to be considered potential RCW nesting habitat. The pedestrian
survey confirmed that there are no large, contiguous stands of mature pine dominated forest
that could be potential RCW nesting habitat. A review of aerial photography determined that
there are no large areas of mature pine forest within 0.5 mile of the review area sufficient to be
considered suitable RCW nesting habitat. Therefore, the review area was not considered
potential RCW foraging habitat.
Based on a lack of potential habitat, and lack of nearby records, WR concludes that the proposed
project will have No Effect on RCW.
Biological Determination - No Effect
Cape Fear Shiner (E)
The Cape Fear shiner is a small (approximately 2" long), yellowish minnow with a black band
along the sides of its body. The Cape Fear shiner is generally associated with gravel, cobble and
boulder substrates and is endemic to the upper Cape Fear River Basin in the Central Piedmont of
North Carolina. The species is known to occur in tributaries and mainstreams of the Deep River,
Haw River, Rocky River and Cape Fear River in Chatham, Harnett, Lee, Moore and Randolph
Counties.
The USFWS identifies the Critical Habitat Designation for the Cape Fear Shiner as being ±4.1
miles of the Rocky River from NC Hwy 902 bridge downstream to Chatham County Road 1010
Bridge, and ±0.5 river miles of Bear Creek, from Chatham County Road 2156 Bridge downstream
to the Rocky River, then downstream in the Rocky River (±4.2 river miles) to the Deep River, the
downstream in the Deep River (±2.6 river miles) to a point 0.3 river miles below the Moncure,
NC, USGS Geological Survey Gauging Station. The USFWS designated critical area is located
approximately 18.5 miles from the project, within an adjacent tributary. Constituent elements
include clean streams with gravel, cobble and boulder substrates with pools, riffles, shallow runs
and slack water areas with large outcrops and side channels and pools with water of good quality
with relatively low silt loads (USFWS, Federal Register reference 9/25/87, Federal Register, 2:
36034-36039).
The proposed project is outside of the designated critical area for the Cape Fear shiner. The
ephemeral and intermittent streams located in the review area were not considered potential
habitat due to the lack of water in these streams during portions of the year. The perennial
stream within the review area was small and shallow only having a depth of water approximately
2-4". This perennial stream contained sandy beds and did not contain significant gravel or cobble
substrates, and therefore was not considered suitable habitat.
Based on being outside the designated critical habitat, the lack of potential habitat, lack of
nearby records, WR concludes that the project will have No Effect on the Cape Fear shiner.
Biological Determination - No Effect

Harperella (T)
Harperella is a perennial herb that grows to a height of 6-36 inches with leaves that are hollow,
quill -like structures. Harperella flowers from May until the first frost, and the small white
flowers occur in heads, reminiscent of a small Queen Anne's lace flower head. Harperella is
typically found on rocky or gravel shoals and sandbars and along the margins of clear, swift -
flowing stream sections. The only known population in Chatham County is a recently re-
introduced population in the Deep River after the original population known from that area
disappeared.
The ephemeral and intermittent streams located in the review area were not considered
potential habitat due to the lack of water in these streams during portions of the year. The
perennial stream was a small, low -flowing shallow stream that had a depth of water
approximately 2-4" and therefore was not considered suitable habitat.
Based on the lack of potential habitat, lack of nearby records, WR concludes that the project will
have No Effect on harperella.
Biological Determination - No Effect
Summary
The review area does not contain occurrences of, or potential habitat for the Bald Eagle, RCW,
Cape Fear Shiner, or Harperella and the proposed activities will have no effect on these species.
Therefore, based our findings and best professional judgment Section 7 consultation with the
USFWS under the ESA is not required as the proposed project will have No Effect on federally
listed threatened or endangered species known to occur in Chatham County.
We request USFWS' review of the results of the of the threatened and endangered species for
concurrence with our findings. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or
concerns regarding the contents of this report.

Project Code: 2022-0018370
Project Name: Flatiron Forest
March 10, 2022
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological

03/10/2022
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7
consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered
Species Consultation Handbook" at:
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to
protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional,
resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more
information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php.
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally
killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to
comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within
applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan
(when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and
their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and
recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to-
birds.php.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies
to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities
that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures
that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/
executive-orders/e0-13186. php.
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of
this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit
to our office.

Dear Troy Beasley:
13. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
NCNHDE-17376
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, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary, or within a one -mile radius of
the project boundary.
Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within or
near 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.
Please also 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 also not be redistributed without
permission.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod nev.butlerCo�ncdcr.aov or 919.707.8603.

Project Name: Flatiron Forest — Mt Gilead Parcel # 2014 & 2037
Location: Hamlets Chapel Road, Chatham County
Subject Features: One 1) ephemeral stream. one 1) intermittent stream
segment, one 1) perennial stream segments, and six (b,
potential wetlands
Date of June 2, 2022
Determination:
Explanation:
The site visit was completed on June 2, 2022, by Drew Blake with Chatham County Watershed Protection
and staff of Withers Ravenel on Parcel # 2014 and 2037 that are located within the Jordan Lake watershed.
Withers Ravenel personnel completed a previous site visit which resulted in the identification of two (2)
ephemeral stream, one (1) intermittent stream segment, one (1) perennial stream segments, and six (6)
potential wetlands on the property. Withers Ravenel submitted a request for Chatham County to complete a
formal review to determine if the features would be subject to riparian buffers according to Section 304 of the
Chatham County Watershed Protection Ordinance.
All points of origin, stream type transitions, and wetland boundaries were reviewed and agreed to in the field
by all parties in attendance. One ephemeral stream segment (Feature B — Stream Form 2A) was removed as
the segment did not meet the required 10 points for ephemeral streams.
Required Riparian Buffers:
All ephemeral stream segments will require a 30-ft buffer from the top of bank landward on both sides. All
intermittent stream segments will require a 50-ft buffer from the top of bank landward on both sides. The
perennial stream segment will require a 100-ft buffer from the top of bank landward on both sides. A 50-ft
buffer will be required on all wetlands from the flagged boundary landward.
Impacts to Riparian Buffers:
Impacts to the riparian buffers may require a Riparian Buffer Authorization depending on the size and scope
of the impacts. Please refer to Section 304 Q) (3) of the Chatham County Watershed Protection Ordinance to
determine if your impacts will require a Riparian Buffer Authorization. If you determine that a Riparian
Buffer Authorization is required please contact Drew Blake to receive the required application and submittal
instructions.
This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected
parties that dispute a determination made by Chatham County, on parcels outside of the Jordan Lake
