Alan,
It took a little more back and forth with the engineer, but I've attached a fully updated PCN packet here that
reflects the changes per our previous discussions. Ultimately, they redesigned the commercial layout and
crossing and were able to reduce the permanent impacts to the discontinuous intermittent stream segments by a
total of 173 linear feet. Figure 12 (page 31 of 94 in the packet) highlights these changes and I've added an
updated impacts table (page 10 of 94) that summarizes the updated impact totals.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or would like me to submit these updates in another format.
Thanks,
Daniel

AREA I
The entrance off Davidson Rd. They should avoid impacts, above the road and the area of
wetland A. Not as concerned with the wetland (0.06 ac), but the feature provides various
benefits to downstream water quality especially as the watershed is built out. The
AVOIDANCE of these impacts will get the project below IP threshold. THESE IMPACTS
ARE EXCESSIVE for typical residential/commercial development.
Bottomless culvert should be removed and the stream day lighted, if not to be utilized.
Area 2
Your S1, stream BBB, 8 ft diameter culvert for a 5 ft channel, that has an even smaller base
flow. What about two 60 inch "circular" culverts (one perched)
Area 3
No issue, Wetland PP
Area 4
No issue, stream BB
Area 5,
Stream AAA to be French drained
No issue, wetlands

Mses. Janiczak and Higgins, and Messrs. Johnson, and Hamstead,
Enclosed is a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination request and Pre -Construction Notification
for Nationwide Permits # 29 & 39 for the approximate 128.5 -acre site known as the Cannon Run
site located northwest of the intersection of Harris Rd and Odell School Rd in Concord, NC. The
current project area is a proposed mixed use development and consists of fourteen streams and
fifteen wetlands. Additionally, there are two non jurisdictional ponds excavated in upland
landscape positions and one isolated, non jurisdictional wetland. The site has been field verified
by Alan Johnson (NCDEQ) on 6/14/18 and 10/9/18. A pre -application site meeting was
conducted on 10/31/18 during which the current site conditions for the commercial section of the

project were field -verified by Catherine Janiczak and Scott Jones (USACE). Please refer to the
Jurisdictional Determination section for updated information on onsite surface waters.
As shown on the attached exhibits, the proposed project will include permanent impacts to four
wetlands and three streams for fill associated with a road crossing, lot fill and grading in addition
to minor temporary impacts to one stream for the installation of a sanitary sewer to serve the
proposed residential development. Overall impacts to site surface waters associated with the
proposed development were limited through site selection location, design, location/orientation
of the proposed lots and access routes. Due to the location of the features in relation to existing
roads and municipal infrastructure, opportunities to completely avoid these features were limited.
The total permanent wetland impacts proposed include 0.069 ac of wetland (Wetlands A, PP,
CCC & DDD). The total permanent stream impacts proposed include 4001f of stream channel
(Streams AAA, BBB, and AJ-AJS-AJSS).
Efforts of impact minimization were implemented during the design to preserve the existing
channel hydrology and limit adverse effects to existing, onsite natural habitat. Large headwalls
will be used for the residential road crossing and sidewalks have been pulled in to the maximum
extent in order to keep the crossing as narrow as possible and avoid the need for additional rip
rap. Additional retaining walls and 2:1 slopes are used throughout the site where practicable to
avoid additional impacts to streams and wetlands. A catchment will direct runoff to the head of
stream AAA to maintain hydrology just below the grading impact. One temporary open cut for a
sewerline installation will be restored to pre-existing conditions per the attached stream
stabilization detail. The applicant has demonstrated substantial avoidance and minimization
efforts in which 93.6% of the 6,334 linear feet of stream channels and 93.4 % of the 1.05 ac of
wetlands onsite will be avoided on the project.
The applicant requests a waiver for 225 linear feet of impacts to streams AJ, AJS, and AJSS.
These features are a series of disconnected intermittent stream segments separated by non -
jurisdictional swales, as field -verified by the USACE (Catherine Janiczac and Scott Jones) on
10/31/18. These features bisect the portion of the site slated for commercial development and are
unavoidable due the constraints imposed by commercial construction requirements (i.e. flat
grades for commercial buildings, pedestrian/handicap requirements, heavy truck access routes,
etc.) The attached NCSAM indicates that these stream segments are of relatively low functional
quality characterized by relatively low hydrological connectivity with limited aquatic habitat
opportunity. Please see the enclosed assessment form for matrix scores and overall functional
ratings derived from the NCSAM. Additional forms and photographs of these features are
provided in the Waiver Request Study section of the permit application.
To compensate for the anticipated permanent impacts, the applicant is proposing payment to the
NCDMS at a 0.5: 1 ratio for 225 if of discontinuous intermittent stream segments, a 1:1 ratio for
50 linear feet of intermittent warm water stream and a 2:1 ratio for 125 linear feet of perennial
warm water stream. Please refer to the enclosed conditional acceptance letter from NCDMS.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Due to the location of the on site streams and wetland, opportunities to avoid these areas were limited. Impacts to site surface waters associated with
the proposed development were limited through site selection, location, design, & location/orientation of the proposed lots and access routes.
Headwalls and 2:1 slopes are used throughout the site where practicable to avoid additional impacts to streams and wetlands. The impacts to streams
AJ, AJS, & AJSS are unavoidable to due the constraints imposed by commercial construction requirements (i.e. flat grade & access requirements).
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Construction techniques will implement approved erosion control methods to avoid/minimize impacts to onsite/adjacent offsite receiving conveyances.
Large headwalls and 2:1 & 3:1 slopes are proposed to keep the road crossing as narrow as possible and avoid the need for additional riprap. A
catchement will direct runoff to the top of stream AAA to maintain hydrology below the minimal impact. One temporary open cut for a sewerline
installation will be restored to pre-existing condition per the attached stream stabilization detail.

Expiration of Acceptance: 3/16/2020
Project: Cannon Run County: Cabarrus
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.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
ALL REQUESTS

There Are no "navigable waters of the U.S." within Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFR part 329) in the
review area. [Required]
❑ Waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide.
❑ Waters are presently used, or have been used in the past, or may be susceptible for use to transport interstate or foreign commerce.
Explain:
B. CWA SECTION 404 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION.
There Are "waters of the U.S." within Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFR part 328) in the review area. [Required]
1. Waters of the U.S.
a. Indicate presence of waters of U.S. in review area (check all that apply): 1
❑ TNWs, including territorial seas
❑ Wetlands adjacent to TNWs
® Relatively permanent waters2 (RPWs) that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
® Non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
® Wetlands directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
® Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
❑ Impoundments of jurisdictional waters
® Isolated (interstate or intrastate) waters, including isolated wetlands
b. Identify (estimate) size of waters of the U.S. in the review area:
Non -wetland waters: 6,334 linear feet: width (ft) and/or acres.
Wetlands: 1.05 acres.
c. Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: 1987 Delineation Manual
Elevation of established OHWM (if known):
Non -regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):3
® Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional.
Explain: The site contains 0.09 acres of wetlands and two open water ponds that are being considered isolated and non -
jurisdictional. Specifically, as identified on the attached delineation map, Isolated Ponds Y & Z, and Isolated/Non-
Jurisdictional Wetland X are being considered isolated and non -jurisdictional. These areas are classified by Schafale &
Weakely (Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina Third Approximation, 1990) as an Upland
Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
s For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).
s Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F.
Depression Swamp Forest community type which are found on broad upland flats and high ridge tops. Based on
extensive past experience with these wetland communities which are only found in this region, they are typically
naturally isolated with no surrounding drainages (overland or jurisdictional) that connects them to downslope
features. The areas surrounding these isolated wetlands have been maintained for agricultural use and there are no
signs of overalnd flow, drainage patterns, ditches, grassed swales, or any other kind of drainage system that may
connect these areas to downslope jurisdictional areas.
SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
2. Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent':
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non -navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.0 below.

Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed:
C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D:
Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its
adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D:
Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to
Section III.D: Wetlands A, CC, G & P are adjacent but not abutting onsite jurisdictional RPWs and are connected by channelized
surface flow.
D. DETERMINATIONS OF JURISDICTIONAL FINDINGS. THE SUBJECT WATERS/WETLANDS ARE (CHECK ALL
THAT APPLY):
TNWs and Adjacent Wetlands. Check all that apply and provide size estimates in review area:
❑ TNWs: linear feet width (ft), Or, acres.
❑ Wetlands adjacent to TNWs: acres.
RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
® Tributaries of TNWs where tributaries typically flow year-round are jurisdictional. Provide data and rationale indicating that
tributary is perennial: Perennial Streams onsite exhibit geomorphology, hydrology, and biological indicators consistent with
perennial flowing streams in the piedmont ecoregion as documented by the attached NCDWQ Stream Identification
Assessment Form(s).
® Tributaries of TNW where tributaries have continuous flow "seasonally" (e.g., typically three months each year) are
jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section III.B. Provide rationale indicating that tributary flows
seasonally: Intermittent Streams onsite exhibit geomorphology, hydrology, and biological indicators consistent with
intermittent flowing streams in the piedmont ecoregion as documented by the attached NCDWQ Stream Identification
Assessment Form
Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters in the review area (check all that apply):
❑ Tributary waters: 6335 linear feet width (ft).
❑ Other non -wetland waters: acres.
Identify type(s) of waters:
3. Non-RPWss that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
❑ Waterbody that is not a TNW or an RPW, but flows directly or indirectly into a TNW, and it has a significant nexus with a
TNW is jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section III.C.
Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters within the review area (check all that apply):
❑ Tributary waters: linear feet width (ft).
❑ Other non -wetland waters: acres.
Identify type(s) of waters:
Wetlands directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
® Wetlands directly abut RPW and thus are jurisdictional as adjacent wetlands.
® Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow year-round. Provide data and rationale
indicating that tributary is perennial in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is
directly abutting an RPW: Jurisdictional Wetlands E/EE, II, JJ, NN & 00 directly abut onsite perennial tributaries
with no break in jurisdiction.
Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow "seasonally." Provide data indicating that tributary is
seasonal in Section III.B and rationale in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly
abutting an RPW: Jurisdictional Wetlands DW, MM, LL, EEE, CCC & DDD directly abut onsite intermittent tributaries
with no break in jurisdiction..
Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: 0.94 acres.
5. Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.

and with similarly situated adjacent wetlands, have a significant nexus with a TNW are jurisidictional. Data supporting this
conclusion is provided at Section III.C.
Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: 0.11 acres.
Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
Wetlands adjacent to such waters, and have when considered in combination with the tributary to which they are adjacent and

GENERAL LANDSCAPE DESCRIPTION:
The Cannon Run site (+/- 128.5 acres) is located just south of Hwy 73, just
north of Harris Road, and just west of Odell School Road in Cabarrus County,
North Carolina. It can be found on the Kannapolis NC USGS Topographic
Quadrangle Map; latitude is 35.4345 N, longitude is 80.7302 W. The topography
is gently to moderately sloped with the elevation ranging from 640 to 700 ft.
(Figure 1). The site is a mosaic of partially rough graded land and wooded
slopes. There are numerous dirt roads and trails lacing the site and it is
disturbed throughout. There is roadside frontage along Hwy 73, Odell School
Road and Harris Road. Two unnamed tributaries to Rocky River flow
southwest through the site.

METHODOLOGY:
The US Fish and Wildlife Service website
https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cntylist/cabarrus.html was referenced to
determine the occurrence of Threatened, Endangered and Protected species for
Cabarrus County North Carolina, the results of which are listed below (Table 1).
Maps and aerial photographs were assembled, and the site was investigated
during the week of March 26, 2019

Cannon Run - Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation
PROTECTED SPECIES DESCRIPTIONS:
One plant species with federal protection was the focus of the survey efforts:
• Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), listed as Federally
Endangered, is typically found in open habitats which historically have
been maintained by wildfires and grazing bison and elk herds. Now most
occurrences are limited to roadsides, woodland and field edges, and
utility rights -of -way (ROW).
A total of three animal species with federal protection are listed as potentially
occurring in Cabarrus County:
• Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), protected by the Bald and
Golden Eagle Protection Act, typically inhabits forested areas near large
bodies of open w ater such as lakes, marshes, seacoasts and rivers,
where there are suitable fish populations and tall trees for nesting and
roosting.
• Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata), listed as Federally
Endangered, is restricted to cool, clean, well -oxygenated water. Stable,
silt- free stream beds are required for this species. Typically stable areas
occur where the stream banks are well -vegetated with trees and shrubs.
• Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis), listed as Federally
Threatened. During summer, northern long-eared bats roost singly or in
colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dead
trees. Males and non -reproductive females may also roost in cooler
places, like caves and mines. It has also been found, rarely, roosting in
structures like barns and sheds. Northern long-eared bats spend winter
hibernating in caves and mines, called hibernacula.

Cannon Run - Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation
RESULTS:
The site is a mosaic of partially rough graded land and wooded slopes. There
are numerous dirt roads and trails lacing the site and it is disturbed throughout.
There is roadside frontage along Hwy 73, Odell School Road and Harris Road.
Two unnamed tributaries to Rocky River flow southeastward through the site.
The western and northern sections of the site are disturbed from previously
abandoned rough grading and sediment basin construction, with stockpiles, cut
slopes, open expanses of scrub/shrub cover, thickets, hedgerows, strips of
wooded stream buffers, and disturbed, early successional tree cover.
Abandoned construction materials, concrete pipes and fittings, and trash piles
are scattered on site.
These previously rough graded and disturbed areas are dominated by Sericea
Lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata) which is commonly planted for soil stabilization,
along with Blackberry (Rubus sp.), Winged Sumac (Rhus copallina), Japanese
Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and Catbrier (Smilax sp.). Also present are
Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense), Broomsedge (Andropogon virginianum),
Goldenrod (Solidago spp.), Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifoila), Brazilian Vervain
(Verbena brasiliensis), (Pokeweed (Phytolacca americana), Sneezeweed
(Helenium sp.), Ragwort (Packers sp.), Rabbit Tobacco (Gnapthalium
obtusifolium), Indian Hemp (Apocynum cannabinum), and Foxtail (Setaria sp.).
Some areas are more overgrown with small saplings of Red Cedar (Juniperus
virginiana), Virginia Pine (Pinus virginiana), Shortleaf Pine (P. echinata), Winged
Elm (Ulmus alata), and Black Cherry (Prunus serotina). Invasive shrub species
present include Russian Olive (Elaeagnus umbellate) and Chinese Privet
(Ligustrum sinense).
The wooded slopes and stream buffers have scattered large tree species present
with Willow Oak (Q. phellos), White Oak (Q. alba), Black Oak (Q. velutina),
Southern Red Oak (Q. falcata), Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), Virginia
Pine (Pinus virginiana), Short -leaf Pine (P. taeda), Cottonwood (Populus
deltoides), and Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). Subcanopy species include
Red Maple (Acer rubrum), Redbud (Cercis canadensis), Sourwood (Oxydendrum
arboreum), Ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), and American Holly (Ilex opaca).
The shrub layer is dominated by Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellate).
Additional shrubs present include Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), Black Haw
(Viburnum prunifolium), Paw Paw (Asimina triloba) and Chinese Privet
(Ligustrum sinense). Vines present are Catbrier (Smilax spp.), Japanese
Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Crossvine (Bignoinia capreolata), Trumpet
Creeper (Campsis radicans), Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia),
Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), and Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans).

Cannon Run - Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation
Threatened / Endangered / Protected Species Results
• All potential habitats for Schweinitz's Sunflower along the roadsides; open
areas; hedgerows; and woods edges were closely examined, and no
plants were found.
• No habitat exists on the site for Bald Eagles, and there were no sightings
nor were any nesting sites observed.
• The streams on site do not have the habitat characteristics required to
support populations of the Carolina Heelsplitter. No mussels were
observed during the survey nor would any be expected on -site
• Comparing this site location to the USFWS Asheville office's website
(http://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmis/protect review/NLEB in WNC.html) it
appears that the site meets the "exempt" criteria which requires no further
action under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for the northern
long eared bat.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on the site investigation and the review of available data, WEPG did not
identify any protected species occurring on the subject property. No further
investigation of the presence of protected species on this site is recommended at
this time.
