Westinghouse Blvd. Charlotte, NC 28273 704-527-1177 (office) 704-527-1133 (fax) October 30, 2017 Ms. Catherine Janiczak U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Charlotte Satellite Office 151 Patton Avenue, Room 208 Asheville, NC 28801 Subject: Nationwide Permit No. 29 and Water Quality Certification No. 4092 Harrisburg Village (SAW -2015-02481) Harrisburg, North Carolina CWS Project No. 2015-3637 Dear Ms. Janiczak, The Harrisburg Village site is approximately 51 acres in extent and is located southeast of the Harrisburg Drive and Roberta Road intersection in Harrisburg, North Carolina (Figures 1 and 2, attached). The purpose of this project is to develop the property into a residential development. Eastwood Homes has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide Section 404/401 permitting services for this project. An executed Agent Authorization Form is attached (Attachment A). CWS is submitting a Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 29 (Attachment B) to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for proposed impacts to approximately 276 linear feet of stream impacts, 0.15 acre wetland impacts. Project History An application for the Harrisburg Village project was completed on June 12, 2017 and delivered to the USACE and NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) — Division of Water Resources (DWR), DWR#17-0733, requesting approval for a Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 29. The Pre -construction Application (PCN) for a NWP No. 29, dated June 12, 2017, was withdrawn on August 16, 2017 by the USACE due to discrepancies with the delineated wetland and stream boundaries described in the PJD, as well as, the project design not avoiding and minimizing impacts to waters of the U.S. to the maximum extent practicable, based on review by the USACE and NCDEQ-DWR. On September 8, 2017 CWS scientists re -delineated the Harrisburg Village project site. One additional wetland area was mapped adjoining Wetland DD. The total extent of the new wetland area totals 0.24 -acre. This wetland fringe is separated from the original Wetland DD channel by an upland berm. Additionally, a section on Wetland EE was classified and mapped as a seasonal (intermittent) stream channel (Stream D), totaling 186 -linear feet. Stream D channel transitions from a wetland swale (Wetland EE) to a stream channel and back to a wetland, where the stream channel loses definition and an ordinary high water mark (OHWM).

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 project boundary consists of five Cabarrus County parcels for a total of 51.47 -acres. The project site consists of a forested area (see Figure 3, Aerial Imagery). Areas of pines, cleared sections, old forest trails and young vegetation indicate the site has been logged recently. On-site wetlands and streams appear to have been ditched and straightened from historic land -uses. Surrounding land -uses are predominantly single-family residential development with several areas of undeveloped land. Stormwater from the adjoining residential development south of the project boundary is piped onto the project property via two corrugated metal pipes. Off-site stormwater is conveyed directly to on-site wetlands and stream channels. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.58 -acre of jurisdictional wetland area 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: 2,698 linear feet of perennial stream, 1,316 linear feet of intermittent stream. 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The purpose of this project is to develop approximately 40 acres of the 51 acres property into a multi -family residential development. This project will provide residential housing within Harrisburg, North Carolina to meet the growth and demand of an area of Cabarrus County that is experiencing significant population growth due to its proximity to Charlotte, North Carolina. This project is being completed in four separate phases, but all the wetland and stream impacts associated with this project will be included in this permit application. All adjoining subdivisions are owned by individuals and/or companies not associated with this subdivision. The client is not aware of any Section 404 permits on adjoining developments. Page 3 of 14 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. 29, unavoidable permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters associated with this project are limited to a total of 0.14 -acres of jurisdictional wetlands and 236 -linear feet of jurisdictional stream channel. The proposed permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. consist of fill for the construction of lots and roads. Additional temporary impacts to waters of the U.S. are limited to 0.01 -acre of jurisdictional wetlands and 40 -linear feet of jurisdictional stream channel from fill and excavation activities related to pump -around operations, sewer line installation, and installation of stormwater BMP outfall pipes. Impact Maps 1 through 4, included in Attachment G, provide an overview of the proposed impacts. Preliminary Grading Plan (E-1) and sheets C4-1 through C4-5 provide a more detailed depiction of proposed site development activities. Pipe profiles and cross-sections are shown sheet E-2. Fill for Lots and Roads The proposed fill for units and roads are unavoidable in order to meet the project goals. The associated fill for units and roads will result in a total of 50 -linear feet of permanent impacts to Seasonal RPW Stream B, 186 -linear feet of permanent impacts to Seasonal RPW D, and 0.14 acres of permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands CC, DD, and EE. The proposed impacts associated with the fill for the roads and lot placement are listed below: S1: Fill associated with a proposed 108 If 48" RCP for construction of subdivision road 'Victoria Way', will result in 50 -linear feet of permanent impacts and 10 -linear feet of temporary impacts to Seasonal RPW Stream B. Temporary impacts are associated with fill for the pump -around operation. The plan view is depicted on Sheets C4-1 and C4-3; impacts are shown on Impact Map Two. The proposed RCP will be countersunk 1 -ft. below the stream bed elevation to maintain aquatic life movement. S2: Fill associated with lot development will result in 186 -linear feet of permanent impact to Seasonal RPW Stream E. The plan view is depicted on sheet C4-4; impacts are shown on Impact Map Three. This impact from fill is essential to create more usable area on the project property by bringing the existing grade up to the proper elevation for development. W1/W2: Fill for the construction of subdivision road 'Black Court' and an associated 91 -linear foot 42" RCP, will result in 0.005 -acre and 0.03 -acre permanent impacts to Wetland DD. The plan view is depicted on sheet C4-3; impacts are shown on Impact Map One. Wetland hydrology will be maintained between the fringe area of Wetland DD and the main channel with the construction of a stable wetland connector through the upland berm on both the inlet and outlet ends of the proposed RCP. W3/W4: Fill for the construction of subdivision road 'Victoria Way' and an associated 108 -linear foot 48" RCP, will result in 0.006 -acre and 0.03 -acre permanent impacts to Wetland DD. The plan view is depicted on sheets C4-1 and C4-3; impacts are shown on Impact Map Two. Wetland hydrology will be maintained between the fringe area of Wetland DD and the main channel with the construction of a stable wetland connector through the upland berm on the inlet end of the proposed RCP. W5/W6: Excavation for construction of stormwater conveyances and outfall pipes from BMP 2, will result in 0.003 -acre and 0.01 -acre temporary impacts to Wetland CC and EE. The plan view is depicted on sheet C4-2; impacts are shown on Impact Map Three. Trenching activities will involve setting aside excavated wetland soils that will be used to re -fill trenches following pipe installations. Wetlands will be stabilized by returning to pre -construction grade, matting with bio -degradable matting, and seeding with native wetland mix. Disturbed forested wetlands will be allowed to revegetate following work and return to natural condition. W7/W8: Fill associated with lot development and subdivision road construction will result in 0.04 -acre and 0.03 -acre of permanent wetland impacts to Wetland CC and EE. The plan view is depicted on sheets C4-2 and C4-4; impacts are shown on Impact Map Three. These fill impacts are essential to create a usable area on the project boundary by bringing the existing grade up to the proper elevation for development. Temporary Crossing for Sewerline S3: The proposed construction easement associated with the sewer crossing is in the north -central portion of the property between manholes 6 and 7 (MH-6/MH-7). 30 linear feet of temporary excavation impact is proposed to occur on Seasonal RPW Stream B (sheet C4-2; Impact Map Four). No permanent impacts are associated with the sewer installation. The proposed sewerline will cross Seasonal RPW Stream B at a perpendicular angle. The total width of the proposed temporary construction easement is 30 feet. Temporary fill will be used to create a flow diversion so that work can be completed in the dry. The temporary structures will be removed after the sewer stream crossing construction is complete. Disturbed stream banks will be restored to original pre -construction contours, stabilized with biodegradable coir fiber matting or other coconut fiber matting, and seeded with a native riparian seed mix. Typical construction equipment such as bulldozer, dump truck, tract hoe will be used. Page 4 of 14 PCN Form — Version 1.4 January 2009 4. Jurisdictional Determinations 4a.

If yes, explain in detail according to "help file" instructions. An application for the Harrisburg Village project was completed on June 12, 2017 and delivered to the USACE and NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) — Division of Water Resources (DWR), DWR#17-0733, requesting approval for a Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 29. The June 12, 2017 NWP, Pre -construction Application (PCN) was withdrawn on August 16, 2017 by the USACE due to discrepancies with the delineated wetland and stream boundaries described in the PJD, as well as, the project design not avoiding and minimizing impacts to waters of the U.S. to the maximum extent practicable, based on review by the USACE and NCDEQ-DWR. On September 8, 2017 CWS scientists re -delineated the Harrisburg Village project site. One additional wetland area was mapped adjoining Wetland DD. The total extent of the new wetland area totals 0.24 -acre. This wetland fringe is separated from the original Wetland DD channel by an upland berm. Additionally, a section on Wetland EE was classified and mapped as a seasonal (intermittent) stream channel (Stream D), totaling 186 -linear feet. Stream D channel transitions from a wetland swale (Wetland EE) to a stream channel and back to a wetland, where the stream channel loses definition and an ordinary high water mark (OHWM). Figure 4, Jurisdictional Boundaries Map, has been updated to show these additional jurisdictional features, as described. 6. Future Project Plans 6a. Is this a phased project? N Yes ❑ No 6b.

Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. No Build Alternative In an attempt to minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters while meeting the goals of the project, a "No Build" alternative was considered. The property is being purchased for the purpose of providing residential housing to meet the growth and demand of an area in Cabarrus County experiencing significant population growth. A "No Build" option would not meet the project goals of providing necessary housing to meet the current demand. Therefore, the No Build Alternative was eliminated from further consideration. Proposed Design Plan The current plan has been modified since the last PCN submittal in June 2017. Plan revisions include eliminating 10 lots that have resulted in reducing permanent wetland impacts by 0.01 -acre. However, following the re -delineation of the project site, a 186 -linear foot section of Wetland EE was changed to intermittent stream (Stream D). This jurisdictional water of the U.S. is located within the central portion of the project boundary, and to bring the surrounding site up to grade, impacts to the stream were found to be unavoidable. This accounts for an increase of permanent stream impacts with the proposed plan. Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and stream consist of fill for the lots, a road crossing, and one temporary sewerline stream crossing. The three on-site linear wetlands (Wetland CC, DD, and EE) bisect the site and divide the property into several portions. Therefore, alternative designs for the proposed subdivision, while avoiding impacts to jurisdictional streams and wetlands, are limited. Jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands, were taken into consideration in the planning phase. The following design aspects demonstrate the avoidance and minimization of adverse impacts to the jurisdictional waters of the U.S.: 1) The proposed roadway (Black Court) is placed as close to the southern property line as possible to impact only a small portion of Wetland DD. 2) Individual lots and structures were terminated at the cul-de-sac of Maplewood Avenue to avoid stream and buffer impacts. 3) 10 lots eliminated north of Black Court along Wetland DD. 4) The extents of grading will be outside of the FEMA floodplain. 5) Headwalls will be used to limit culvert lengths to the maximum extent practicable. 6) Piping of jurisdictional waters have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable to facilitate construction of subdivision roads to ordinance standards with road shoulders, curb and gutter, and proper embankment slopes. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. Wetland hydrology within Wetland DD will be maintained by means of three new wetland swales (connectors). The wetland connectors will be created across a narrow upland berm that separates fringe the wetland area from the main wetland channel. The wetland connectors will consist of a 10 -15 -foot -wide stabilized swale that will be at grade and will be seeded with a wetland plant mixture. Hydrology will be able to migrate between the main channel (historically ditched) and the fringe area where piping is proposed with the current plan. 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 29 and Water Quality Certificate No. 4092.

Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement) 5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or 0 Yes ❑ No habitat? 5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act Nx 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 scientists performed a data review using North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Data Explorer on May 25, 2017 to determine the presence of any federally -listed, endangered species, threatened species, or critical habitat located within the project area. Based on the NCNHP review, there are no records of federally -protected species within the project limits or within a mile of the project area. A copy of the NCNHP report is attached (Attachment F). The United States Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS), Raleigh Field Office, North Carolina Distribution Records of Endangered, Threatened, and Species of Concern list for Cabarrus County was reviewed. The USFWS database lists the Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata), and bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) as potentially occurring in Cabarrus County. Additionally, the project area is within Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) range. Prior to the field work, CWS scientists visited a known population of Helianthus schweinitzii on May 22, 2017 to determine the condition of its stem, leaves, and flowers. Based on the site visit, the aboveground plant parts are identifiable but flowers were present. On May 25, 2017, CWS scientists conducted a pedestrian survey of the project area for federally -protected species. Transects were completed within identified areas of supportive habitat, as applicable, for potentially occurring federally -protected species. Based on the literature search and the results of the on-site assessment for federally -protected endangered and threatened species, it has been determined that habitat was observed for the Schweinitz's sunflower, Carolina heelsplitter, and northern long-eared bat (NLEB). However, any incidental take on NLEB that may result from associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule. As a potential habitat was present but no individuals of Schweinitz's sunflower were observed within the project limits, this project may affect but is not likely to adversely affect this species. As no individuals of Carolina heelsplitter were observed within the project limits,the observed habitat was marginal, and there are no known populations within the Rocky River watershed, where the project is located, this project will have no effect on this species. As no nesting habitat was observed for the bald eagle, this project will have no effect on this species. A letter of concurrence was sent to the (USFWS on June 5, 2017), and a determination of no effect was provided in the July 3, 2017 USFWS response letter (Attachment F). 6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement) 6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat? ❑ Yes 0 No 6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat? NOAA Fisheries: http://www.habitat.noaa.gov/protection/efh/habitatmapper.html 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 N Yes N No status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in North Carolina history and archaeology)? Page 13 of 14 PCN Form — Version 1.4 January 2009 7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources? A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on May 31, 2017 to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project. CWS also consulted the SHPO online GIS service and found no historical structures, buildings, sites, or districts within the project limits (SHPO Map, Attachment E). On June 23, 2017 a concurrence response letter was received from NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources concluding the project will not have impact historic resources (Attachment E). 8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement) 8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain? ❑ Yes © No 8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements: There will be no fill in the FEMA floodplain. Additionally, the extents of grading will be outside of the FEMA floodplain. 8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?

Action Id.: SAW -2015-02481 Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US and/or wetlands without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). If you have anyquestions regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact William Elliott at 828-271-7980. C. Basis For Determination The site contains wetlands as determined by the I987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountain and Piedmont Region. These wetlands are adjacent to stream channels located on the property that exhibit indicators of ordinary high water marks. The stream channel on the property is an unnamed tributary to Rocky River which flows into the Upper Pee Dee River. Yadkin River joins the Uwharrie River to form the Pee -Dee River. Pee Dee River enters the Atlantic Ocean through Winyah Say in South Carolina. So drainages in Iredell, Rowan, and Wilkes drain to Yadkin River (before it's confluence with Uwharrie River). Drainages in Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, Stanley, and Union drain to Pee -Dee River. D. Remarks: Jurisdictional "Waters of the US" have been identified on this property as depicted by submitted Jurisdictional Request Package on file. 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.

The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in this instance and at this time. 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 approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (9) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that 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) that 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) that undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (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 preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes 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 approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, 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 339, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 339.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: IMPORTANT NOTE: The information recorded on this form has not necessarily been verified by the Corps and should not be relied upon for later "urisdictional determinations. * 11/9MI5 Signature and date of Regulatory Project Manager (REQUIRED) / ;12 a //r;L Ovl� 4 Signature and date of person requesting preliminary JD (REQUIRED, unless obtaining the signature is impracticable) r Perennial Stream Seasonal Stream C 416 if = Seasonal Stream B —74 If f 1,056 If 3 ) r J Wetland DD -A I �m 0.09 ac.

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 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 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. 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), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) easement, or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area.

Westinghouse Boulevard Charlotte, North Carolina 28273 Dear Mr. Antemann: Subject: Harrisburg Village Residential Development Project; Cabarrus County, North Carolina Log No. 4-2-17-375 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed your correspondence received via email on June 5, 2017 wherein you request our concurrence with your determination of project effects on federally protected species. The Service submits 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 you, on behalf of your client, are seeking required permits for impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. associated with the construction of a 258 unit residential development on a 51 acre parcel in Harrisburg, North Carolina. The current project area landcover is dominated by successional pine -hardwood forest (including riparian forest), and developed open space. You indicate that several invasive exotic plant species occur onsite. According to the information provided, the proposed project would result in permanent impacts to wetlands and RPW streams (unnamed tributaries to the Rocky River). However, these impacts were not quantified in your correspondence, nor were proposed mitigation activities. Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species According to the information provided, Carolina Wetland Services staff identified potential habitat for the federally endangered Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) and conducted targeted surveys on May 25, 2017. Prior to conducting surveys you visited a nearby reference population of this species and confirmed that above ground flower parts were present and could be used to diagnose the species in the field. You also provided us with a map delineating the surveyed project areas which contain potential habitat. No evidence of this species was detected by your survey. You have determined that the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect this species. Based on the information provided, we agree with your assessment and would concur with a commensurate action agency determination. Suitable roosting habitat may be present within the action area for the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). However, the final 4(d) rule (effective as of February 16, 2016), exempts incidental take of northern long-eared bat associated with activities that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a known hibernation site, and greater than 150 feet from a known, occupied maternity roost during the pup season (June 1 — July 31). Based on the information provided, the project (which may or may not require tree clearing) would occur at a location where any incidental take that may result from associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule. Although not required, we encourage the Applicant to avoid any associated tree clearing activities during the maternity roosting season from May 15 — August 15. No bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) or their nests were observed during your pedestrian surveys, and the project is not located in close proximity to a large water body. Therefore, we agree with your determination that the project would not affect this species. You have determined that the proposed project would have no effect on any other federally protected species. We concur with your determination based on Service records and the information provided. 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 proposed project is located approximately 1,000 linear feet upstream from the Rocky River. This reach of the Rocky River and some of its tributaries may provide habitat for several federal species of concern including: rosyside dace (Clinostomus funduloides), Carolina darter (Etheostoma collis), and Carolina creekshell (Villosa vaughniana). Although the Act does not afford federal protections to these species at this time, incorporating proactive measures to protect them may preclude the need to list them in the future. We offer the following comments in the interest of protecting the species above and other natural resources: Mitigation The Service highly values the functional value for the streams and wetlands to be impacted by this project. If your client seeks in -lieu fee mitigation for impacts to streams and wetlands, ratios should be informed by NCSAM/NCWAM data. The Service generally recommends that a minimum mitigation ratio of 2:1 to offset proposed impacts to features rated "medium" or better. Impervious Surfaces and Low Impact Development Increase in development results in commensurate increases in impervious surface area and storm -water runoff. Impervious surfaces (such as roofs, roads, and parking lots) collect pathogens, metals, sediment, and chemical pollutants and quickly transmit them (via storm -water runoff) to receiving waters. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, this non -point source pollution is one of the major threats to water quality in the United States, posing one of the greatest threats to aquatic life, and is linked to chronic and acute illnesses in human populations from exposure through drinking water and contact recreation. Increased stormwater 2 runoff also directly damages aquatic and riparian habitat, causing stream -bank and stream channel scouring. Best management practices can reduce, but not eliminate, pollutant loadings of common stormwater pollutants. Designs that collect runoff and allow it to infiltrate the soil have the highest documented pollutant -removal efficiency, eliminating nearly all lead, zinc, and solids and more than 50 percent of total phosphorous. Ponds and wetlands, which allow contaminants to settle out of the water column or be broken down by sunlight and biological activity, can remove more than 70 percent of bacteria. Where detention ponds are used, stormwater outlets should drain through a vegetated area prior to reaching any natural stream or wetland area. Detention structures should be designed to allow for the slow discharge of storm water to reduce potential adverse effects of storm -water surges, thermal spikes, and discharges of sediment, nutrients, and chemicals into receiving waters. Since the purpose of stormwater-control measures is to protect streams and wetlands, no such measure should be installed within any stream (perennial or intermittent), wetland or riparian area (including the 100 -year floodplain). We are concerned about impacts associated with the proposed increase to impervious surface. At 35- to 50 -percent impervious surface, runoff triples, and deep infiltration is decreased by 40 percent. Therefore, we recommend the use of low -impact -development techniques, such as grassed swales in place of curb and gutter, rain gardens, and wetland retention areas, for retaining and treating storm -water runoff rather than the more traditional measures, such as large retention ponds, etc. Erosion Control Measures to control sediment and erosion should be installed before any ground -disturbing activities occur. Grading and backfilling should be minimized, and existing native vegetation should be retained (if possible) to maintain riparian cover for fish and wildlife. Regardless of slope, disturbed areas should be stabilized with biodegradable erosion control matting (coir), and revegetated with native grass/tree species as soon as the project is complete. Pollinators Pollinators such as most bees, some birds, bats, or other insects including moths and butterflies, play a crucial role in flowering plant reproduction and in the production of most fruits and vegetables. Many wild pollinators are declining as a result of disease and habitat loss. The rusty - patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis; federally endangered) historically occurred in Cabarrus county. Although not required, we encourage your client to consider the recommendations below to benefit the rusty -patched bumble bee and other pollinators. Moreover, the creation and maintenance of pollinator habitats in the proposed buffer and greenway easement areas may increase the value of the project for the community, and help reduce the spread of invasive exotic plants: 1. Sow native seed mixes in disturbed areas or in designated pollinator areas with plants that bloom throughout the entire growing season. 2. Taller growing pollinator plant species should be planted around the periphery of the site and anywhere on the site where mowing can be restricted during the summer 3 months. Taller plants, left un -mowed during the summer, would provide benefits to pollinators, habitat to ground nesting/feeding birds, and cover for small mammals. 3. Low growing/groundcover native species should be planted in areas that need to be maintained. This would provide benefits to pollinators while also minimizing the amount of maintenance such as mowing and herbicide treatment. Milk weed species are an important host plant for monarch butterflies. 4. Avoid mowing of flowering plants. Designated pollinator areas show be mow only 50% of the plant height, but no lower than 8 inches. 5. Leave slash piles, mulch piles, or loose dirt piles along woodland edges. These areas provide nesting habitats and/or nest materials for some pollinators. 6. Avoid the use of pesticides and specifically neonicotinoids. 7. Additional information regarding plant species, seed mixes, and pollinator habitat requirements can be provided upon request. The Service appreciates your consideration for our interest to protect fish and wildlife resources.
