Dear Mr. Shaeffer and Ms. Higgins:
The Westinghouse Materials Site is approximately 38 acres in extent and is located at 1625 East
Westinghouse Boulevard in Charlotte, North Carolina (Figure 1, attached). The purpose of this project is to
reconfigure the site in order increase the storage capacity, facilitate landscape material organization, and
for the trucks to safely maneuver and access the site for the drop-off and sale of materials. This will cause
unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. Westinghouse Materials has contracted Carolina
Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide Section 404/401 permitting services for this project. An executed
Agent Authorization Form is attached.

Project History
On November 20, 2006, Carolina Wetland Services received a General Permit Verification (Nationwide
Permit No. 39) from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), [SAW -2006-41409-361,
attached]) to impact less than 150 linear feet of an intermittent unnamed tributary to Kings Branch in
association with the widening of an existing crossing within an industrial development. Prior to that, 149

linear feet impact to intermittent stream was authorized under Action ID. 200531707 on June 5, 2005 and
mitigation was not required at that time. All previously impacted streams were classified as intermittent.
Due to the unforeseen growth of the Westinghouse Materials Company, CWS was contracted to re -delineate
the Westinghouse Materials Site and to provide additional 404/401 permitting services in February of 2016
in order to reconfigure the site. The stream reach proposed to be impacted is the downstream portion of
the previously impacted stream.
Current Site Conditions
The site consists of a landscaping supply yard and marginal wooded areas (Figure 2, attached). Typical on-
site vegetation includes loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciva), red maple (Acer
rubrum), white oak (Quercus alba), red oak (Quercus rubra), pignut hickory (Caryaglabra), eastern red
cedar (Juniperus virginiana), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and poison ivy (Toxicodendron
radicans).
According to the Soil Survey of Mecklenburg Countyz (Figures 3 and 4, attached), on-site soils consist
of Cecil sandy clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes, eroded (CeB2), Cecil sandy clay loam, 8 to 15
percent slopes, eroded (CeD2), Monacan Loam (MO), Pacolet sandy loam, 15 to 25 percent slopes
(PaE), and Wilkes loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes (WkD).
Of the on-site soils, only Monacan loam (MO) is listed on the North Carolina Hydric Soils List for
Mecklenburg County3 and on the National Hydric Soils List' as having hydric inclusions (Hydric
Criteria 2B3).
Jurisdictional Delineation
On February 10, 2016, CWS's Aliisa Harjuniemi, Wetland Professional in Training (WPIT) and
Michelle LaForge, Staff Scientist I, delineated jurisdictional waters of the U.S. within the project area
(Figure 5, attached). On February 15, 2016, Gregg Antemann, Professional Wetland Scientist (PWS)
and Kelly Thames, PWS also visited the site to confirm the classifications. Jurisdictional areas were
delineated (flagged in the field), classified, and surveyed with a sub -foot Trimble Geo7X GPS unit using the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Routine On -Site Determination Method. This method is
defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manuals, the 2007 USACE Jurisdictional
Determination Form Instructional GuidebooV, with further technical guidance from the 2012 Eastern
Mountains & Piedmont Regional Supplement .7 Jurisdictional stream channels were classified according to
North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDEQ) guidance. These classifications include sampling
with a D -shaped dip net, photograph documentation, and defining approximate breakpoints (location at
which a channel changes classification) within each on-site stream channel.
Results
The results of the on-site field investigation conducted by CWS indicate that there are four
jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A -D) located within the project area (Figure 5, attached). On -Site

jurisdictional waters include and drain to Kings Branch. Kings Branch is part of the Santee River Basin
(HUC 03050103) and is classified as "Class C Waters" by the NCDEQ. According to the NCDEQ,
Class C Waters are defined as: "Waters protected for uses such as secondary recreation, fishing,
wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of biological
integrity, and agriculture." 8
On -Site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. total approximately 0.70 acre, including 3,262 linear feet of
jurisdictional stream channel. On -Site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are summarized in Table 1.
On May 12, 2016 Mr. Gregg Antemann, Ms. Kelly Thames, and Ms. Aliisa Haj uniemi of CWS met on-site
with Mr. David Shaeffer and Jason Randolph of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). During this
site visit, the extent of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were verified as depicted on Figure 5 (attached).

Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on April 6, 2016 to determine
the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be
affected by the project. In a response letter dated April 26, 2016, the SHPO states that they are "aware
of no historic resources which would be affected by the project'. The SHPO response letter is
attached. CWS also consulted the SHPO online GIS service10 database and found no sites of
architectural, historical, or archaeological significance within the project limits.
Protected Species
CWS performed a data review using North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Data
Explorer" on April 1, 2016 to determine the presence of any federally -listed, candidate endangered,
threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. Based on this review, there are no
records of federally -protected species within the project limits. A copy of the data review report is
attached. However, as Mecklenburg County falls within the Northern long-eared bat (Myotis
septentrionalis) habitat range consultation is required with United States Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) per the Final 4(d) Rule12, which became effective on February 16, 2016, and recent
guidance from the USACE.
The Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) is one of the species of bats most impacted by the white -nose
syndrome disease. Habitat for the NLEB includes forested areas of any age, rocky areas with
boulders, and culverts greater than four feet wide. Due to recent population declines of almost 89%
caused by white -nose syndrome and continued spread of the disease, the NLEB now receives
protection as a Threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. A Threatened species is defined
as a taxon likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant
portion of its range13
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is requesting the documentation of the amount of
wooded acres cleared in connection with any construction project that takes place within any county
shown on the January 29, 2016 White -Nose Syndrome Buffer Zone Map (attached). A letter was
forwarded to the USFWS on April 13, 2016 to determine if the project will adversely affect the NLEB.
There are no known mature roosting trees or hibernacula recorded in Mecklenburg County per
USFWS published GIS data 14. Therefore, this project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect
the NLEB. The USFWS response letter dated April 22, 2016 (attached) concurs with this
determination.
Purpose and Need for the Project
Westinghouse Materials Company, LLC works as a landscape and hardscape materials dealer. The
purpose of this project is to reconfigure the site in order to increase the storage capacity, facilitate the
organization of products, and for the trucks to safely maneuver and access the site for the drop-off,
pick up, and sale of materials. Figures 6 and 7a (attached) illustrate the current site conditions.
Westinghouse Materials Company, LLC moved to this location in the fall of 2011. At that time, they
built an approximately 7,500 square foot office building / warehouse with 27 parking spaces and no

truck and trailer parking. This parking space capacity has remained the same since. From 2011 to
2015, Westinghouse Materials Company sales volume has increased by over 35%. This is attributed to
equal growth in both the contractor and retail market — with both types of customers requiring very
different needs. The company anticipates similar future growth as well.
Currently, the site is very oddly shaped (Figure 6, attached). This odd shape limits the ability to
organize and store the various products Westinghouse Materials Company offers (palletized
hardscapes, stone, etc.). As Westinghouse Materials products are heavy, bulky products, they require
heavy machinery to move and load. Due to the odd shape of the site, it is difficult to efficiently use
the space with the necessary heavy machinery as well as provide adequate maneuverability for
customers as well. Therefore, this facility requires a reconfiguration of their space to better access the
different parts of the area, increase the storage capacity for the growing business, and to consolidate
materials (Figure 7b, attached).
In order to reconfigure the site, unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are necessary.
The project proposes to pipe a portion of a seasonal and perennial stream located in the eastern portion
of the project area. (Figures 7b and 8, attached). This allows potentially available space to be
combined with currently available space (Figure 8, attached) to consolidate palletized materials,
provide additional space for bulk storage in order to provide the necessary parking. Approximately
131,503 square feet of space is needed, given a 35% growth projection rate. Reconfiguring the site to
combine currently available and potentially available square footage (Figure 8, attached) will allow the
company to organize and consolidate materials, while providing the necessary parking. Table 2
(below) shows the current square footage currently in use and the space needed with the projected 35%
growth.

expand into parking space that would cover the 35% growth, plus provide parking specifically for
large trucks and trailers, dump trucks, and 18 wheelers. Additionally, the 131,503 square feet of
needed space is almost met by utilizing the potentially available area (103,290 square feet) along with
maximizing that area for a total of 129,527 additional square feet (Figure 7b, attached). There are no
practicable on site alternatives for the 131,503 square feet of required additional space and moving the
facility to another location would be cost prohibitive. Table 3 (below) summarizes the proposed
square footage for this project. The proposed total square footage of 479,673 square feet still does not
meet the overall total square footage needed of 527,947 square feet.

Many of the Westinghouse Materials Company's customers pick up materials in very large dump,
flatbed or tractor trailer trucks. As the yard is currently laid out, it is very difficult (and becoming
increasingly more difficult) to safely maneuver these trucks in and around the stockpiled materials
safely. Moreover, customers enter the site, drive around to the scales for an "empty weigh," drive off
the scales to their material of choice, load up, drive back to the scales for a "weight weigh," then drive
off the scales, park, and enter the facility to pay. This process requires a lot of space around the scale
and office area for multiple sizes of vehicles, with and without trailers. The scale and office area
currently offers only 27 designated spaces — all for normal size vehicles (Figure 6, attached). Moving
the palletized storage to the eastern portion of the site would allow for larger truck spaces long enough
for trailers as well (Figure 7b, attached). This safer and necessary parking design would only be
possible if the pallets are moved to a new storage area. This would also eliminate the need for large
loading machinery to enter this space, which is currently a safety hazard.
The site redesign would permit Westinghouse Materials to have increased storage capabilities which
ultimately will allow them to better service customers in a more safe and efficient manner (Figure 7b,
attached). As the yard is currently laid out, trucks frequently need to back up in order to navigate
tighter spaces which is a safety concern for the drivers, Westinghouse Materials employees and the
general public, as well as a huge potential liability for the company.
Avoidance and Minimization
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream
waters. Construction activities and impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will comply with
all conditions of Nationwide Permit 39 and Water Quality Certification No. 3890. All work will be
constructed in the dry. Impacts have been limited to less than 300 linear feet of jurisdictional stream
channel.

The proposed piped conveyance is necessary in order reconfigure the site to move the palletized
storage to the eastern portion of the site. Stream C divides the majority of the site in half, limiting the
options for trucks to access the eastern portion of the site to organize and store the materials within the
site.
In an attempt to minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters while still meeting the goals of the project, a "No
Build" alternative was considered. However, the odd shape limits the ability to organize and store the
various products and the current pallet storage is overflowing. This results in trucks frequently needing to
back up in order to navigate tighter spaces, creating a safety concern for the drivers. With the "No Build"
alternative, the only option to provide the space needed to avoid the safety concerns would be to move the
facility to another location. This however would be cost prohibitive. Therefore, the "No Build" Alternative
was eliminated from further consideration.
Alternative Design 1 considered impacts of 766 linear feet of stream impact and 0.28 acre of wetland impact
(Figure 9, attached). This option would connect the eastern and western portions of the property optimizing
the space available. However, this option would have required an Individual Permit. To minimize impacts
to the greatest extent practicable and to submit as a Nationwide Permit, this alternative design was
eliminated from further consideration.
The project has been thoughtfully designed to avoid impacts wherever possible. The currently proposed site
plan (Figure 8) was developed as a result of this alternatives analysis and avoidance and minimization
process. We believe that the current site plan is the best possible plan that meets the project goals while
avoiding impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. to the greatest extent practicable.
Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 39, unavoidable permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters
associated with this project are limited to a total of approximately 299 linear feet (lf) of jurisdictional
stream channel (Stream Q. The 299 linear feet of impact consists of 30 linear feet impact to an
intermittent channel and 269 linear feet impact to perennial channel. Impacts to Stream C are the result
of the extension of an existing pipe. Figure 6 (attached) depicts the proposed plan overview and
Figure 8 depicts the proposed pipe extension. The proposed impacts are summarized in Table 4
(below).

The project proposes to extend an existing 48 -inch pipe located beneath the access road in the
southeastern portion of the site. The pipe extension will be completed with a 209 -linear foot, 48 -inch
reinforced concrete pipe (RCP). The pipe extension is necessary in order to reconfigure the facility
layout for trucks to safely maneuver and access the site for the drop-off and sale of materials while
maintaining the hydraulic connection of Stream C. The proposed impacts will result in 30 linear feet

Pre -Construction Notification to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and WOC 3890 CWS Project No. 2016-3885
of permanent impact to Seasonal Stream A and 269 linear feet of permanent impact to Perennial
Stream C (Figure 8, attached).
On behalf of Westinghouse Materials Company, LLC, CWS is submitting a Pre -Construction
Notification Application with attachments in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition
No. 31, and pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 39 and Water Quality Certification No. 3890.
Compensatory Mitigation
As permanent stream impacts total to greater than 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation is required.
Proposed impacts requiring mitigation total 30 linear feet of intermittent channel and 269 linear feet of
perennial channel. Westinghouse Materials Company, LLC proposes to mitigate for the permanent
stream impacts through the purchase of stream mitigation credits from the NC Division of Mitigation
Services (DMS). The credit acceptance letter is attached.
CWS would like to propose mitigation ratios for the proposed impacts based on an assessment
methodology that helps to justify ratios based on a score. Utilizing the North Carolina Stream
Assessment Methodology (NC SAM), the proposed impacts were assessed to be part of two distinctly
different reaches (Figure 10, attached). Extending the piped conveyance will result in 30 linear feet of
permanent impact to Seasonal RPW C and 269 linear feet of permanent impacts to Perennial RPW C.
The upper 30 linear feet of Seasonal RPW C consisted of rip rap, excessive sedimentation, and a buffer
becoming encroached with invasive species. This section of Stream C was determined to be separate
reach per NC SAM (NC SAM 1 and Figure 10, attached). This reach scored LOW (NC SAM 1,
attached).
The next 269 linear feet of Perennial RPW C consisted of relatively stable bed and banks; however.
The streamside area water storage capacity and streamside area ground surface conditions are modified
and altered. This section of Stream C was determined to be a separate reach per NC SAM (NC SAM 2
and Figure 10, attached). This reach scored MEDIUM (NV SAM 2, attached).
Based on the NC Stream Assessment, CWS proposed a 0.5:1 ratio for the Reach 1 — 30 linear feet of
Seasonal RPW C. Additionally, CWS proposes a 1:1 ratio for the NC SAM Reach 2 — 269 linear feet
of Perennial RPW C. These ratios were derived from combining the NC SAM scores with the flow
regime classification of Stream C, utilizing the NCDEQ Stream Classification Forms. CWS believes
that a 0.5:1 ratio for 30 linear feet and a 1:1 ratio for 269 linear feet of Stream C is adequate
compensation for the proposed impacts,

3. Project Description
3a Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application -
The site consists of a landscaping supply yard and marginal wooded areas (Figure 2, attached). Typical on-site
vegetation includes loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red maple (Acer rubrum),
white oak (Quercus alba), red oak (Quercus rubra), pignut hickory (Carya glabra), eastern red cedar (Juniperus
virginiana), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans).
According to the Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County (Figures 3 and 4, attached), on-site soils consist of Cecil sandy
clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes, eroded (Ce132), Cecil sandy clay loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes, eroded (CeD2),
Monacan Loam (MO), Pacolet sandy loam, 15 to 25 percent slopes (Pa E), and Wilkes loam, 8 to 15 percent
slopes (WkD)
Of the on-site sods, only Monacan loam (MO) is listed on the North Carolina Hydric Soils List for Mecklenburg County
and on the National Hydric Soils List as having hydric inclusions (Hydric Criteria 2133).
3b List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0 28 acre
3c List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: 3,232 linear feet of
perennial stream channel, 30 linear feet of seasonal stream channel
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project.
Westinghouse Materials Company, LLC works as a landscape and hardscape materials dealer. The purpose of this project is
to reconfigure the site in order to increase the storage capacity, facilitate the organization of products, and for the trucks to
safely maneuver and access the site for the drop-off, pick up, and sale of materials. Figures 6 and 7a (attached) illustrate the
current site conditions Please see the cover letter for more detailed description.
Page 3 of 10
PCN Form — Version 1.4 January 2009

3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No 39, unavoidable permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters associated with this project
are limited to a total of approximately 299 linear feet (If) of jurisdictional stream channel (Stream C) The 299 linear feet of
impact consists of 30 linear feet impact to an intermittent channel and 269 linear feet impact to perennial channel. Impacts to
Stream C are the result of the extension of an existing pipe. Figure 6 (attached) depicts the proposed plan overview and Figur
8 depicts the proposed pipe extension.
The project proposes to extend an existing 48 -inch pipe located beneath the access road in the southeastern portion of the site
The pipe extension will be completed with a 209 -linear foot, 48 -inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) The pipe extension is
necessary in order to reconfigure the facility layout for trucks to safely maneuver and access the site for the drop-off and sale o
materials while maintaining the hydraulic connection of Stream C. The proposed impacts will result in 30 linear feet of
permanent impact to Seasonal Stream A and 269 linear feet of permanent impact to Perennial Stream C (Figure 8, attached).

®Yes No
impacts?
5c If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted
Asheville
5d What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
CWS performed a data review using North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Data Explorer on April 1, 2016 to
determine the presence of any federally -listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical habitat located within
the project area Based on this review, there are no records of federally -protected species within the project limits. A copy
of the data review report is attached. However, as Mecklenburg County falls within the Northern long-eared bat (Myotis
septentrionalis) habitat range consultation is required with United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) per the Final
4(d) Rule, which became effective on February 16, 2016, and recent guidance from the USACE
The Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) is one of the species of bats most impacted by the white -nose syndrome disease.
Habitat for the NLEB includes forested areas of any age, rocky areas with boulders, and culverts greater than four feet
wide Due to recent population declines of almost 89% caused by white -nose syndrome and continued spread of the
disease, the NLEB now receives protection as a Threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. A Threatened
species is defined as a taxon likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant
portion of its range .
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is requesting the documentation of the amount of wooded acres cleared in
connection with any construction project that takes place within any county shown on the January 29, 2016 White -Nose
Syndrome Buffer Zone Map (attached) A letter was forwarded to the USFWS on April 13, 2016 to determine if the project
will adversely affect the NLEB. There are no known mature roosting trees or hibernacula recorded in Mecklenburg County
per USFWS published GIS data . Therefore, this project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the NLEB. The
USFWS response letter dated April 22, 2016 (attached) concurs with this determination.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)

7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation
0 Yes 01 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?
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on April 6, 2016 to determine the presence of any
areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project In a response letter dated
April 26, 2016, the SHPO states that they are "aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project'. The
SHPO response letter is attached. CWS also consulted the SHPO online GIS service database and found no sites of
architectural, historical, or archaeological significance within the project limits.

3. A final written storm water management plan shall be approved, in writing, by this Office (or
approved local governing authority) prior to the construction of any permanent facilities at the site.
The storm water facilities must be designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless
otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality. Also, before any permanent
building is occupied at the site, the storm water facilities (as approved by this Office) shall be
constructed and operational, and the storm water management plan (as approved by this Office)
shall be implemented. The structural storm water practices as approved by this Office as well as
drainage patterns must be maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural storm water
facilities shall be made without written authorization from the Division of Water Quality.
4. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional
wetlands and waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds on the property. These
mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404
Permit (whichever is later). A sample deed notification format can be downloaded from the
401/Wetlands Unit web site at htto://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands..
5. Storm water discharge structures at this site shall be constructed in a manner such that the potential
receiving streams will not be impacted due to sediment accumulations, scouring or erosion of the
stream banks.
6. All wetlands, streams, surface waters, and riparian buffers located on the project site where impacts
are not allowed shall be clearly marked (example- orange fabric fencing) prior to any land disturbing
activities.
7. The planting of native vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used .
where practicable instead of riprap or other bank hardening methods. If riprap is necessary, it shall,
not be placed in the streambed, unless approved by the DWQ.
8. No waste, spoils, solids, or fill of any kind shall be placed in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas
beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notification application. All
construction activities associated with this project shall meet, and/or exceed, those requirements
specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual and
shall be conducted so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
9. Sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum
extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within two months of the date the
Division of Land Resources has released the project.
10. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and* return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality. Please send

RE: Westinghouse Materials; 2016-3885
Dear Aliisa Harjuniemr
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural hentage resources from our database that have been compiled 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, 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 site-specific 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 and is included for reference.
Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any,
are also included in this report. The location of the natural areas and conservation/managed areas can be
viewed online on the Natural Heritage Data Explorer found at https.//ncnWe. natureserve, oral
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 (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), 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 John Finnegan at or 919 707.8630.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

Dear Ms. Thames:
Subject: Westinghouse Materials Site Commercial Development Project; Charlotte,
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Log No. 4-2-16-370
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the information provided in your
correspondence received April 13, 2016. We submit the following comments in accordance with
the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the
National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.); and section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
Project Description
According to the information provided, your client is applying for a NWP 39 to reconfigure an
existing 38 acre commercial development to increase its storage capacity and accessibility.
Proposed impacts to jurisdictional waters were not specified in your correspondence, but you
indicated that the proposed project would require the clearing of approximately 1.5 acres of
wooded area.
Federallv Listed Endangered and Threatened Species
Your correspondence indicates that suitable summer roosting habitat may be present on site for
the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). Service records
indicate the closest known occurrence is greater than 40 miles away and the habitat quality that
may be impacted from the proposed project is relatively low. For these reasons, the amount and
probability of take of this species that may result from the project is insignificant and
discountable. Therefore, we would concur with a determination that the proposed project may
affect, but is not likely to adversely affect northern long-eared bat.

t
According to the information provided in your correspondence and the Service's records, no
other federally protected species occurs within the proposed project's impact area. Therefore,
we consider the requirements under the Act to be fulfilled at this time and we require no further
action. However, please be aware that obligations under section 7 of the Act must be
reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is
listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action.
The Service offers the following recommendations in the interest of protecting fish and wildlife
resources:
Invasive Species
You indicated that invasive plant species are present on site. We are concerned about the
introduction and spread of these species in association with the proposed project. Without active
management, including the revegetation of disturbed areas with native species, project corridors
will likely be sources of (and corridors for) the movement of invasive exotic plant species.
Exotic species are a major contributor to species depletion and extinction, second only to habitat
loss. Exotics are a factor contributing to the endangered or threatened status of more than
40 percent of the animals and plants on the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants (Wilcove et al. 1998). It is estimated that at least 4,000 exotic plant species and
2,300 exotic animal species are now established in the United States, costing more than
$130 billion a year to control (Pimentel et al. 2000). Additionally, the U.S. Government has
many programs and laws in place to combat invasive species (see www.invasivespecies.gov).
Specifically, Section 2(a)(3) of Executive Order 13112 - Invasive Species (February 3, 1999)
directs federal agencies to "not authorize, fund, or carry out actions that it believes are likely to
cause or promote the introduction or spread of invasive species in the United States or
elsewhere." Despite their short-term erosion -control benefits, many exotic species used in soil
stabilization seed mixes are persistent once they are established, thereby preventing the
reestablishment of native vegetation. Many of these exotic plants are also aggressive invaders of
nearby natural areas, where they are capable of displacing already -established native species.
Therefore, we strongly recommend that only species native to the natural communities within the
project area be used in association with all aspects of this project.
The Service appreciates your consideration of our comments and concerns. Please contact
Mr. Byron Hamstead of our staff at 828/258-3939, Ext. 225, if you have any questions. In any
future correspondence concerning this project, please reference our Log Number 4-2-16-370.
