Impact Justification and Mitigation
1.
Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The developer will use the existing driveway to develop the dwelling unit on the flattest home site within the parcel. Impacts are necessary in order to
provide site access for the construction equipment. Access is possible from another location, however this would require construction of an additional
driveway. The placement of the dwelling unit will avoid additional impacts to WOTUS on the parcel.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
All construction equipment would be operated from high ground. Sediment and erosion control measures and best management practices would be
utilized on -site.

impacts?
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
CEC Consulted the FWS List of Federally Endangered species, and NC Natural Heritage program data server. The site is located approx. 20 miles
from areas having known occurrences of hibemacula or maternity sites for Northern Long Eared Bats. (Attachment B)
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)

governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation ❑ Yes ❑ No
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
National Register of Historic Places records maintained by the NCSHPO and available on SHPO's HPOWEB GIS Service. Carrier -Brown House
(HPO Site ID: TV0214) is located +/- 0.5 miles southwest of the project. It is the opinion of GEC the project will have no effect.

Potentially Jurisdictional Water Jurisdictional wetlands and waters identified on this map have been located within sub -meter accuracy utilizing a Trimble mapping grade Global Positioning System (GPS) and the subsequent differential correction of that data. GPS
points may demonstrate uncorrectable errors due to topography, vegetative cover, and/or multipath signal error.

Dear ClearWater Environmental Consultants, Inc..
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/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. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httr)s://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
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, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water Management Trust Fund
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 rod nev.butlerWncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program
