You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.016 acres
of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing improvements to NC 210 from SR 1121 to SR 1144,
as you described in your application dated 18 April 1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided
that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3103. This Certification allows you
to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required
as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local
permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control,
Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire
when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing.
You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written
petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 276 1 1-7447. This certification and its conditions
are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.

Subject: Harnett County, Improvements to NC 210 from SR 1 121 to SR 1144,
State Project No. 6.45 1008, TIP No. R-2230B.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to upgrade NC 210 from
SR 1 121 to SR 1144. The proposed improvements include resurfacing, adding turn lanes
at major intersections, culvert extensions, and minor vertical alignment to improve sight
distance. These improvements will necessitate a culvert extension from Station 353+73
to 353+98 (Sheets 2 and 3 of 4). Fill will be extended to the end of the proposed culvert
extension. No road widening will be required in the area. Construction of the proposed
project will not impact any jurisdictional wetland communities. 0.016 acres of surface
waters (Anderson Creek) will be filled. We have determined that this activity can be
authorized under Nationwide Permit 14.
Enclosed please find the Natural Resources Technical Report (NRTR), project site map
and preconstruction notification form for the above referenced project. We anticipate a
401 General Water Quality Certification will apply to this project, and are providing one
copy of these documents to the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, for their review.

SUBJECT: Natural Resources Investigation for improvements to NC
210 between SR 1144 and SR 1132, Harnett County, State
Project No. 6.451009, TIP No. R-2230C.
ATTENTION: James A. McInnis, P.E., Project Manager
Project Planning Unit
The following report is submitted to assist in the preparation of a Minimum
Criteria document. This report contains information concerning water resources, biotic
resources, Waters of the United States and federally-protected species.
The proposed project calls for the improvement of NC 210 between SR 1 144 and
SR 1132 in Harnett County (Figure 1). The proposed improvements include resurfacing,
adding turn lanes at major intersections, culvert extension, and minor vertical alignment
to improve sight distance. The existing cross section is a two lane roadway with grassed
shoulders. The proposed cross section is a two lane roadway with turn lanes at major
intersections. Existing right-of-way (ROW) is 15 m (50 ft.). The proposed ROW is 15 m
(50 ft), with a 30 m (100 ft) ROW associated with turn lane construction at major
intersections. Project length is 8.6 km (5.4 mi).
METHODOLOGY
Research was conducted prior to field investigations. Information sources used in
this pre-field investigation of the study area include: U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
quadrangle maps (Anderson Creek and Bunnlevel), and Natural Resource Conservation
Service (MRCS, formerly the Soil Conservation Service) soil information for Harnett
County. Water resource information was obtained from publications of the Department
of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (DEHNR, 1993) and from the NC Center
for Geographic Information and Analysis (Environmental Sensitivity Base Map of

Harnett County, 1995). Information concerning the occurrence of federal and state
protected species in the study area was gathered from the Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS) list of protected and candidate species and the N.C. Natural Heritage Program
(NHP) database of rare species and unique habitats.
General field surveys were conducted along the proposed alignment by NCDOT
biologists Bruce O. Ellis and Dale Suiter on 11 July 1996. Plant communities and their
associated wildlife were identified and recorded. Wildlife identification involved using
one or more of the following observation techniques: active searching and capture, visual
observations (binoculars) and identification of characteristic signs of wildlife (sounds,
scat, tracks and burrows). Jurisdictional wetland determinations were performed utilizing
delineation criteria prescribed in the "Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual"
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987).
Definitions for areal descriptions used in this report are as follows: Project
Study Area denotes the area bounded by proposed right-of-way limits; Project Vicinity
describes an area extending 0.8 km (0.5 mi) on all sides of the project study area; and
Project Region is equivalent to an area represented by a 7.5 minute USGS quadrangle
map with the project area as the central point.
WATER RESOURCES
Water resources present within the study area are part of the Cape Fear River
drainage Basin. Water resources that are crossed by the proposed project include the
North and South Prongs of Anderson Creek, Kates Creek and their unnamed tributaries.
Table 1 lists the water resource, its DEM index number and its best usage classification.
Table 1. Water Resources Within the Project Area
Water Resource Index Number Classification
South Prong Anderson Creek . 18-23-32 C
North Prong Anderson Creek 18-23-32 C
Kates Creek 18-23-32-1 C
McLean Creek 18-20-29 WS-IV
McLean Creek is located in the project vicinity, however, it is not physically
crossed by the proposed project. A portion of the McLean Creek watershed crosses the
northern portion of the project approximately 0.6 km (0.4 mi) south of SR 1132. The
watershed is designated a WS-IV water supply watershed. WS-IV refers to those waters
protected as water supplies which are generally in moderately to highly developed
watersheds; suitable for all Class C uses. Class C (which includes all other water
resources within the project area) refers to waters suitable for aquatic life propagation and
survival, fishing wildlife, secondary recreation and agriculture.
Neither High Quality Waters (HQW), Water Supplies (WS-I: undeveloped
watersheds or WS-II: predominately undeveloped watersheds) nor Outstanding
Resource Waters (ORW) occur within 1.6 km (1.0 mi) of the study area.
Construction of the proposed project will impact water resources by culvert and
pipe extension. Construction activities are likely to alter and/or interrupt stream flows
and water levels at each aquatic site. Project construction may result in the following
impacts to surface waters:
1. Increased sedimentation and siltation from construction and/or erosion.
2. Changes in light incidence and water clarity due to increased sedimentation
and vegetation removal.
3. Alteration of water levels and flows due to interruptions and/additions to
surface and ground water flow from construction.
4. Changes in water temperature due to vegetation removal.
5. Increased nutrient loading during construction via runoff from exposed areas.
6. Increased concentration of toxic compounds from highway runoff,
construction, toxic spills, and increased vehicular use.
Precautions should be taken to minimize impacts to water resources in the
study area. NCDOT's Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface
Waters should be strictly enforced during the construction stage of the project. Best
Management Practices for the Protection of Water Supply Watersheds should be
implemented in areas associated with the watershed of McLean Creek. Provisions
to protect surface waters from contamination by toxic substances during the
construction interval should also be strictly enforced.
BIOTIC RESOURCES
Biotic resources include aquatic and terrestrial communities. This section
describes those communities encountered in the study area, as well as the relationships
between fauna and flora within these communities. Composition and distribution of
biotic communities throughout the project area are reflective of topography, hydrologic
influences and past and present land uses in the study area. Dominant flora and fauna
observed, or likely to occur, in each community are described and discussed.
Scientific nomenclature and common names (when applicable) are provided for
each animal and plant species described. Plant taxonomy generally follows Radford, et
al. (1968). Animal taxonomy follows Martof, et al. (1980), Menhenick (1991), Potter, et
al. (1980), and Webster, et al. (1985). Subsequent references to the same organism will
4
include the common name only. Fauna observed during the site visit are denoted with an
asterisk (*). Published range distributions and habitat analysis are used in estimating
fauna expected to be present within the project area.
Terrestrial Communities
Three distinct terrestrial communities were identified in the project study area:
maintained/disturbed, mixed pine/hardwood forest and hardwood forest. The natural
communities border disturbed areas which receive periodic maintenance. Therefore,
community boundaries between the maintained/ disturbed and natural communities are
generally well defined without a significant transition zone. Many faunal species are
highly adaptive and may populate the entire range of terrestrial communities discussed.
Maintained Community
Several habitats are included in this description: road shoulders, residential, and
business landscapes and agricultural operations. These habitats are typically maintained
by mowing, tilling, and herbicide applications.
The road shoulder community will receive the most amount of impact for the
proposed project. Road shoulders act as buffers between the roadway and surrounding
communities by filtering stormwater run-off. Vegetation occurring here includes fescue
(Festuca spp.), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), clover (Trifolium spp.), dog fennel
(Eupatorium capillifolium), groundsel (Senecio spp.), dallis grass, (Paspalum dilatatum)
and wiregrass (Aristida stricta). Less maintained areas include: broomsedge
(Andropogon spp.), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), yellow jessamine (Gelsemium
sempervirens), trumpet vine (Campsis radicans), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera
japonica), and
blackberry (Rubu.s spp.).
Vegetation associated with residential and business landscapes includes:
flowering dogwood (Cornusforida), azalea (Rhododendron spp.), mimosa (Albizia
julibrissin), rose-of-Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus), and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). Lawn
areas are dominated by fescue and Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon).
Agriculture in the project vicinity is dominated by the cultivation of cotton
(Gossypium spp., various hybrids) and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacinn). Field edges contain
vegetative species similar to the road shoulder community and include: fescue, dog
fennel, horse nettle (Solanum carolinense), and broomsedge.
Small mammals that commonly occur within this community type are the hispid
cotton mouse (Sigmodon hispidus), house mouse (Mus musculus), least shrew (Cryptolis
parva) and eastern mole* (Scalopu.s aquaticu.s). The hispid cotton mouse thrives in dense
vegetation like Japanese honeysuckle. Eastern moles excavate extensive tunnels and feed
upon earthworms, insects and plant material. The Virginia oppossum* (Didelphis
5
virginiana) is a very adaptive mammal which frequents this habitat for foraging
opportunities as well.
Avian species likely to utilize this habitat include turkey vulture* (Catharte.s
aura), downy woodpecker* (Picoides pubescens), mourning dove* (Zenaida macroura)
and American robin* (Turdus migratorius). The red-tailed hawk* (Bateto jamaicensis) is
a major predator in this habitat.
The Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis) and eastern fence lizard (Sceloperus
undulatus) are common reptiles frequenting disturbed communities. These two reptiles
forage on small insects and spiders. Eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) and black
racer (Coluber constrictor) frequent open and disturbed habitats. They will find suitable
shelter and foraging opportunities in proximity with human activities.
Hardwood Forest
This community type is found in upland areas, as well as in association with
stream bottoms. Common canopy constituents are tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera),
red maple (Acer rubrum), sweet-gum (Liguidambar styraciua), Willow oak (Quercus
phellos)and water oak (Q. nigra) are found scattered among the canopy trees in low areas.
Mockernut hickory (Carya tomentosa) and flowering dogwood are common in upland
areas of this community. Giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea), greenbrier (Smilax
rotundifolia) and muscadine grape (Vili.s rotundifolia) are common in the understory.
Mammals likely to occur here are long-tailed weasel (Mustela frenata), white-
footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus), raccoon* (Procyon lotor), and white-tailed deer*
(Odocoileus virginianus). Long-tailed weasels prey heavily on rodents and may also take
moles, shrews and other food items. White- tailed deer are browsers and feed on leaves
and twigs of a variety of plants.
The inundated regions of these forests provide excellent habitat for amphibians
such as eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens), Fowler's toad (Bufo woodhousei) and
Brimley's chorus frog (Pseudacris brimleyi). Amphibians prey on a variety of aquatic and
terrestrial invertebrates including insects and crustaceans. Brimley's chorus frog occurs
along streams flowing through hardwood forests.
Worm snakes (Carphophis anioenus) and ringneck snakes (Diadophis punctatus)
may occur in moist environments of these forests. Earthworms are a major food item of
these snakes. Rat snakes (Elaphe obsoleta) are very adaptable reptiles and may also be
found here.
Avian species which frequent this community include yellow-throated warbler
(Dendroica dominica), hooded warbler (Wilsonia citrina), red-eyed vireo (Vireo
olivacezts), blue-gray gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea), northern cardinal* (Cardinalis
6
cardinalis), and red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus). The blue-gray
gnatcatcher is a summer resident of these forests and consumes insects including gnats.
Mixed Pine/Hardwood Forest
This community has a canopy consisting of a mixture of evergreen trees such as
loblolly pine, and of deciduous hardwood species such as red maple, sweet-gum, tulip
poplar, sassafras (Sassafras albidum) and water oak. Other vegetative components of this
community include Japanese honeysuckle, greenbrier and wiregrass. Loblolly pine
composes less than 50 percent of the forest canopy in this community.
Faunal species found here are similar to those mentioned in the hardwood forest
community and pine community. Other animals likely frequenting this forest are wood
thrush (Hylocichla mustelina), gray squirrel (Scirus carolinensis) and black rat (Rattus
rattus).
Aquatic Communities
Aquatic communities within the study area are associated with Anderson Creek,
and Kates Creek and their tributaries. Physical characteristics of the water body and
condition of the water resource reflect faunal composition of the aquatic communities.
Terrestrial communities adjacent to a water resource also greatly influence aquatic
communities
Fish species likely to inhabit study area streams are golden shiner (Notemigonus
crysoleucas), redfin pickerel (Esox americanus), chain pickerel (Esox niger), yellow
bullhead (Ictalurus natalis),), eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia afrnis), bluegill sunfish
(Lepomis macrochirus), redbreast sunfish (L. auritus), and pumpkinseed sunfish (L.
gibbosus), Yellow bullheads are nocturnal fish which search out food along the stream
substrate. American eels (Anguilla rostrata) are common in these conditions as well.
Eels are catadromous, spending a majority of their life in freshwater streams, while
migrating to the sea to spawn.
Aquatic resources within the study area provide excellent habitat for reptiles and
amphibians. Species which may thrive in these streams include snapping turtle (Chelydra
serpentina), spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata), yellowbelly slider (Chrysemys scripta), and
northern water snake (Nerodia sipedon). Turtle species are omnivores. The northern
water snake forages chiefly on fish and amphibians. Salamanders likely found in these
streams include the two-lined (Eurycea bislineata), and many-lined salamander
(Stereochilus marginatus).

IMPACTS TO BIOTIC COMMUNITIES
Impacts to the terrestrial and aquatic communities are expected to be minimal.
The proposed project calls for resurfacing the roadway with the addition of turn lanes at
major intersections. The road shoulder community will receive the most impact. Minor
intrusion into the forested communities will likely occur during the construction of turn
lanes at major intersections. Terrain modified by construction, cleared but not paved, will
have early successional vegetation return post-construction. Construction will necessitate
that mobile fauna migrate to suitable areas. Slow moving faunal species may be lost.
Aquatic communities are sensitive to even small changes in their environment.
Stream channelization, scouring, siltation, sedimentation and erosion from construction-
related work will effect water quality and biological constituents.
Alterations in the aquatic communities will result from the extension of culverts
and/or pipe. Impacts often associated with in-stream construction include increased
channelization of water, siltation and scouring of stream channels. Water movement
through these structures becomes direct thus increasing the flow velocity. Scouring zones
at pipe outflows will likely result from channelization. Strict adherence to NCDOT
BMPs for the protection so surface waters will minimize impacts to aquatic resources.
WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES
Surface waters and wetlands fall under the broad category of "Waters of the
United States," as defined in Section 33 of the Code of Federal Register (CRF) Part
328.3. Wetlands, defined in 33 CFR 328.3, are those areas that are inundated or saturated
by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under
normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted to life in
saturated conditions. Any action that proposes to place fill into these areas falls under the
jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) under Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344).
Characteristics of Wetlands
Potential wetland communities were investigated pursuant to the 1987 "Corp of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual". The three parameter approach was used where
hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation and prescribed hydrologic characteristics must all be
present for and area to be considered a wetland. Wetland classifications are based on the
classification scheme presented by Cowardin, et. al. (FWS, 1979).
Wetland sites associated with the North and South Prongs of Anderson Creek and
Kates Creek were identified during the natural resource investigation. These wetlands
can be classified as Palustrine Forested Broad-leaved Deciduous Seasonally Flooded
(PFO1 C). However, it is not anticipated that wetlands will be impacted as a result of
project construction. Surface waters, however, will be impacted by culvert/pipe
extension.
A Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33 CFR 330.5(a) (14) is likely to be
applicable at most ditch and stream crossings found in the project study area. This permit
authorizes construction provided the following conditions are met:
(1) the width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the actual crossing;
(2) the fill placed in Water of the United States is limited to a filled area of no more than
0.1 hectares (1/3 acre);
(3) no more than a total of 61 m (200 linear ft) of the fill for the roadway can occur in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands;
(4) the crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent the restriction of,
and to withstand, expected high flows and tidal flows and movement of aquatic
organisms, and;
(5) the crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and permanent, is part
of a single and complete project for crossing of a Water of the United States.
RARE AND PROTECTED SPECIES
Some populations of fauna and flora have been in, or are in, the process of decline
either due to natural forces or their inability to coexist with human development. Federal
law (under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended) requires
that any action, likely to adversely affect a species classified as federally-protected, be
subject to review by the FWS. Other species may receive additional protection under
separate state laws.
Federally-Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered (E), Threatened (T),
Proposed Endangered (PE) and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected under provisions
of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of 01
April 1996, the FWS lists the following federally-protected species for Harnett County
(Table 2). A brief description of each species characteristics and habitat follows.
Table 2. Federally-Protected Species for Harnett Counh,
Scientific Name Common Name Status
Picoides borealis red-cockaded woodpecker E
Notropis mekistocholas Cape Fear shiner E
Isotria medeoloides small-whorled pogonia T
Lysimachia asperulaefolia rough-leaved loosestrife E
"E" denotes Endangered, a species that is threatened with extinction throughout all or
a significant portion of its range.
"T" denotes Threatened, a species that is likely to become an endangered species
within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.
Picoides borealis (red-cockaded woodpecker) Endangered
Animal Family: Picidae
Date Listed: 13 October 1970
The adult red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) has a plumage that is entirely black
and white except for small red streaks on the sides of the nape in the male. The back of
the RCW is black and white with horizontal stripes. The breast and underside of this
woodpecker are white with streaked flanks. The RCW has a large white cheek patch
surrounded by the black cap, nape, and throat.
The RCW uses open old growth stands of southern pines, particularly longleaf
pine (Pinus palustris), for foraging and nesting habitat. A forested stand must contain at
least 50 percent pine, lack a thick understory, and be contiguous with other stands to be
appropriate habitat for the RCW. These birds nest exclusively in trees that are >60 years
old and are contiguous with pine stands at least 30 years of age. The foraging range of the
RCW is up to 200 hectares (500 acres). This acreage must be contiguous with suitable
nesting sites.
These woodpeckers nest exclusively in living pine trees and usually in trees that
are infected with the fungus that causes red-heart disease. Cavities are located in colonies
from 3.6-30.3 m (12-100 ft) above the ground and average 9.1- 15.7 m (30-50 ft) high.
They can be identified by a large incrustation of running sap that surrounds the tree. The
RCW lays its eggs in April, May, and June; the eggs hatch approximately 38 days later.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION
NO EFFECT
A survey for nesting and foraging habitat for the red-cockaded woodpecker was
conducted on 11 July 1996 by NCDOT biologists Bruce Ellis and Dale Suiter. Forested
communities in the project area are composed of hardwood and mixed pine hardwood
forest. Old growth stands of southern pine and forested stands that are composed of at
least 50 percent pine are not present within the project area. Therefore, it can be
concluded that nesting and foraging habitat for the red-cockaded woodpecker is not
to
present within the project area. Additionally, a review of the NC Natural Heritage
Program database of rare species and unique habitats revealed no listing of the red-
cockaded woodpecker within the project vicinity. Therefore, project construction will not
affect the red-cockaded woodpecker.
Notropis meki.stocholas (Cape Fear shiner) Endangered
Animal Family: Cyprinidae
Date Listed: 26 September 1987
The Cape Fear shiner is a small, moderately stocky minnow. Its body is flushed
with a pale silvery yellow, and a black band runs along its sides (Snelson 1971). The fins
are yellowish and somewhat pointed. The upper lip is black and the lower lip has a black
bar along its margin.
Cape Fear shiner habitat occurs in streams with gravel, cobble, or boulder
substrates. It is most often observed inhabiting slow pools, riffles, and slow runs
associated with water willow beds. Juveniles can be found inhabiting slackwater, among
large rock outcrops and in flooded side channels and pools. The Cape Fear shiner is
thought to feed on bottom detritus, diatoms, and other periphytes. Captive specimens
feed readily on plant and animal material.
The Cape Fear shiner is limited to three populations in North Carolina. The
strongest population of the Cape Fear shiner is in Chatham and Lee counties from the
Locksville dam upstream to Rocky River and Bear Creek. Another population is located
above the Rocky River Hydroelectric Dam in Chatham County, and the third population
is found in the Deep River system in Randolph and Moore counties.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION NO EFFECT
A survey for habitat for the Cape Fear Shiner within the project area for
improvements to SR 1121 was conducted by NCDOT biologists Bruce O. Ellis and Dale
Suiter on 11 July 1996. Water resources within the project area contain substrates
composed of silt and sand and are not composed of gravel, cobble or boulder. The results
of the survey reveled that habitat for the Cape Fear shiner does not exist within the
project study area. Streams in the study area are not listed as Proposed Critical Habitat
for the Cape Fear shiner by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission. Additionally, a
review of the NC Natural Heritage Program database of rare species and unique habitats
revealed no listing of the Cape Fear shiner in the project vicinity. Therefore, project
construction will not affect the Cape Fear Shiner.
Isotria medeoloides (small-whorled pogonia) Endangered
Plant Family: Orchidaceae
Federally Listed: 10 September 1982
Flowers Present: mid May-mid June
Small-whorled pogonia is a perennial orchid having long hairy roots and a hollow
stem. Stems terminate in a whorl of five or six light green, elliptical leaves that are
somewhat pointed. One or two light green flowers are produced at the end of the stem.
Flowers of small-whorled pogonia have short sepals.
The small-whorled pogonia grows in "second growth deciduous" or deciduous-
coniferous forests, with an open canopy, open shrub layer, and sparse herb layer. It
prefers acidic soils. Flowering is inhibited in areas where there is relatively high shrub
coverage or high sapling density.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION NO EFFECT
A survey for small-whorled pogonia, in areas meeting habitat requirements, was
conducted by NCDOT biologists Bruce O. Ellis and Christopher Murray on 26 June
1996. The survey included the entire project right-of-way. No small-whorled pogonia
was observed during this investigation. Additionally, a review of the NC Natural
Heritage Program database of rare species and unique habitats revealed no listing of
small-whorled pogonia within the project area. Therefore, project construction will not
affect the small-whorled pogonia.
Lysimachia asperulaefolia (rough-leaved loosestrife) E
Plant Family: Primulaceae
Federally Listed: June 12, 1987
Flowers Present: June
Rough-leaved loosestrife is a perennial herb having slender stems and whorled
leaves. This herb has showy yellow flowers which usually occur in threes or fours.
Fruits are present from July through October.
Rough-leaved loosestrife is endemic to the coastal plain and sandhills of North
and South Carolina. This species occurs in the ecotones or edges between longleaf pine
uplands and pond pine pocosins (areas of dense shrub and vine growth usually on a wet,
peat, poorly drained soil), on moist to seasonally saturated sands and on shallow organic
soils overlaying sand. It has also been found to occur on deep peat in the low shrub
community of large Carolina bays (shallow, elliptical, poorly drained depressions of
unknown origins). The areas it occurs in are fire maintained. Rough-leaved loosestrife
rarely occurs in association with hardwood stands and prefers acidic soils.
12
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION
NO EFFECT
A survey for rough-leaved loosestrife, in areas meeting habitat requirements, was
conducted by NCDOT biologists Bruce 0. Ellis and Christopher Murray on 26 June
1996. The survey included the entire project right-of-way. No rough-leaved loosestrife
was observed during this investigation. Additionally, a review of the NC Natural
Heritage Program database of rare species and unique habitats revealed no listing of
rough-leaved loosestrife within the project area. Therefore, project construction will not
affect rough-leaved loosestrife.
