Subject: Pre -Construction Notification for NWP 29 for the 155 Baucom site, Charlotte,
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Messrs. Roden -Reynolds, Johnson, Wojoski and Hamstead,
Enclosed is a Request for Nationwide Permit 29 for the 155 Baucom site on 7.45 acres west of
the intersection of Baucom Street and Old Plank Road in Charlotte, NC. The site is a proposed
residential development and consists of two wetlands. A preliminary jurisdictional determination
request (SAW-2019-01344) was previously submitted and the site was field -verified by Mr.
David Shaeffer (USACE) on 11/8/19 as well as by Mr. Alan Johnson (NCDEQ) on 7/23/19.
Please refer to the Jurisdictional Determination and Approvals sections for information on onsite
surface waters.
As shown on the attached exhibits, the total impacts associated with the proposed project include
0.012 ac of impacts for grading/fill to one small wetland (Wetland B) immediately above an
existing culvert in the southeast corner of the site. Overall impacts to site surface waters
associated with the proposed development were limited through site selection location, design,
and location/orientation of the proposed lots and access routes. Efforts of impact minimization
were implemented during the design to preserve the existing hydrology and limit adverse effects
to existing, onsite natural habitat. The applicant has demonstrated substantial avoidance and
minimization efforts in which 96% of the 0.279 acres of wetlands onsite will be avoided. Due to
Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group
Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC.
the minimal amount of permanent impacts associated with this project, no compensatory
mitigation is proposed.
Enclosed is a copy of our Threatened/Endangered Species Evaluation for the site. No listed
species were identified within the project area and we believe that there will be no effect on
listed species or their critical habitat as designated under Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act. Please refer to the Threatened and Endangered Species Evaluation Section for additional
details on the terrestrial species evaluation. Thank you for your consideration and please contact
me if you have any questions, (336) 554-2728 or email at daniel.kuefler@wetlands-epg.com.

SPECIES DESCRIPTIONS:
Three plant species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in
Mecklenburg County:
• Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), listed as Federally Endangered,
is typically found in open habitats which historically have been maintained by
wildfires and grazing bison and elk herds. Now most occurrences are limited to
roadsides, woodland and field edges, and utility rights -of -way (ROW).
• Smooth Coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), listed as Federally Endangered, is
typically found in open woods, cedar barrens, roadsides, clear cuts, dry
limestone bluffs and power line rights -of -way, requiring abundant sunlight and
little competition from other plant species.
• Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxii), listed as Federally Endangered, requires
habitat of sandy forests and woodland edges. This species requires periodic fire
as a part of its ecology.
Four animal species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in
Mecklenburg County:
• Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act, typically inhabits forested areas near large bodies of open water
such as lakes, marshes, seacoasts and rivers, where there are suitable fish
populations and tall trees for nesting and roosting.
• Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata), listed as Federally Endangered, is
restricted to cool, clean, well -oxygenated water. Stable, silt- free stream beds
are required for this species. Typically, stable areas occur where the stream
banks are well -vegetated with trees and shrubs.
Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis), listed as Federally Threatened.
During summer, northern long-eared bats roost singly or in colonies underneath
bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dead trees. Males and non -
reproductive females may also roost in cooler places, like caves and mines. It
has also been found, rarely, roosting in structures like barns and sheds. Northern
long-eared bats spend winter hibernating in caves and mines, called hibernacula.
Rusty -patched Bumble Bee (Bombus affinis), listed as Federally Endangered,
live in colonies that include a single queen and female workers. Rusty -patched
Bumble Bees historically occupied grasslands and tallgrass prairies. Bumble
bees need areas that provide nectar and pollen from flowers, nesting sites
(underground and abandoned rodent cavities or clumps of grasses), and
overwintering sites for hibernating queens (undisturbed soil).

155 Baucom Street - Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation
RESULTS:
The site is in a suburban setting and is surrounded by a neighborhood of
residential homes. There is a homesite with small outbuildings on Old Plank
Road, and the southeastern side of the Baucom Street site has two residential
homesites. They all have open, mowed lawns and scattered large oaks and
pines. There is an overhead power line along the southwestern site boundary.
The remainder of the site is characterized by disturbed, mixed pine and young
hardwood cover.
Tree species present include Short -leaf Pine (Pinus echinata), Virginia Pine (P.
virginiana), Willow Oak (Quercus phellos), White Oak (Q. alba), Southern Red
Oak (Q. falcata), Sweet Gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), American Elm (Ulmus
americans), Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and Red Maple (Acer rubra).
Understory trees include Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), Southern Magnolia
(Magnolia grandiflora), Sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum), Flowering Dogwood
(Cornus florida), and American Holly (Ilex opaca). Chinese Privet (Ligustrum
sinense) is the predominant shrub species present. Vines observed were
Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia),
Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and Catbrier (Smilax sp.). Herbs present
include Christmas Fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), Ebony Spleenwort
(Asplenium platyneuron), Japanese Stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), Panic
Grass (Panicum sp.), False Nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), and Knotweed
(Polygonum sp.). A patch of Asian Bamboo (Phyllostachys sp.) is near the
northwest property boundary.
Transitional vegetated strips along the wood's edges and fence lines are
dominated by common species such as Goldenrod (Solidago sp.), Ragweed
(Ambrosia artemisiifolia), Rabbit Tobacco (Gnapthalium obtusifolium), and
Pokeweed (Phytolacca americans). The overhead power line right-of-way is
covered with mixed grasses, forbs, and weedy thickets dominated by Fescue
(Festuca sp.), Broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), Asters (Aster sp.),
Blackberry (Rubus spp.), Winged Sumac (Rhus copallinum), and Porcelain -berry
(.Ampelopsis glandulosa var. brevipedunculata).
Threatened & Endangered/Protected Species Results
All potential habitats for Schweinitz's Sunflower, Michaux's Sumac and
Smooth Coneflower along the roadside, transitional areas and woods
edges were examined and none of these species were present.
No habitat exists on the site for Bald Eagles, and there were no sightings
nor were any nesting sites observed.
Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC.
155 Baucom Street - Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation
There is no suitable habitat on site to support the Carolina Heelsplitter.
Based on existing documentation, Carolina Heelsplitter populations have
not been previously identified within this basin.
• Comparing this site location to the USFWS Asheville office's website
(http://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmis/project review/NLEB in WNC.html) it
appears that the site meets the "exempt" criteria which requires no further
action under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for the Northern
Long-eared Bat.
Comparing this site location to the USFWS Range Map for Rusty -patched
Bumble Bee
(https://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/insects/rpbb/rpbbmap. html)
Mecklenburg County is in it's Historic Range, and as such, Section 7
consultation is not needed. WEPG concludes that Rusty -patched Bumble
Bee is not present.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on the site investigation and the review of available data, WEPG did not
identify any protected species occurring on the subject property. No further
investigation of the presence of protected species on this site is recommended at
this time.

Location description: The review area is located 0.07 miles southwest of the intersection of Old Plank Road and Baucom Street.
PIN: 03517438.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
® There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 7/3/2019. Therefore
this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory
mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection
measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any
way by the permitted activity- on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an
appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may
request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403).
However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are waters, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be
able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.
❑ The waters, including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by
the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. We strongly
SAW-2019-01344
suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once
verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided
there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
❑ The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at (252) 808-2808 to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact David L. Shaeffer at 704-510-1437 or
david.l.shaeffer(&usace.armv.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination
form dated 2/3/2020.
D. Remarks: None.
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 4985. 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.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review
area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an
approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the
various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
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 anon -reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has
not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit
applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official
determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD
before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or
different special conditions; (3) 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) 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)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an AJD
constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (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 PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area
affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives 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 AJD
or a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, 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 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over
aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic
resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is
practicable. This PJD finds that there " may be " waters of the U.S. and/or that there " may be "
navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the
review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
