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.

It can be found on the Mountain Island Lake, NC USGS Topographic Quadrangle Map; latitude is 35.3057 N, longitude is-80.9302 W. The topography is gently sloping, with the elevation ranging from 690 to 710 ft. The site is in a suburban setting and is surrounded by residential homes sites. (Figure 1). Figure 1: Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. 155 Baucom Street - Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation METHODOLOGY: The US Fish and Wildlife Service website http://www.fws.gov/endangered/ was referenced to determine the occurrence of Threatened, Endangered and Protected species for Mecklenburg County North Carolina, the results of which are listed below (Table 1). Maps and aerial photographs were assembled, and the site was investigated during the week of June 15, 2020 Table 1: Threatened / Endangered / Protected Species listed for Mecklenburg County County: Mecklenburg, NC *Source: US Fish & Wildlife Service **Data search on June 16, 2020 Group Name Status Record Status Invertebrate Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmiciona Endangered Current decorata Invertebrate Rusty -patched Bumble Bee Endangered Historic (Bombus affinis) Vascular Plants Smooth Coneflower (Echinacea Endangered laevi ata Vascular Plants Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus Endangered schweinitzii) Vascular Plants Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxii) Endangered Vertebrate Northern Long -Eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) Vertebrate Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) Threatened Current Current Current Probable/Potential Protected under the Bald Current and Golden Eagle Protection Act Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. 155 Baucom Street - Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation 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). Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. 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. Respectfully submitted, 4,el # 1*e�l Lisa R.

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).

Estimated amount of Type of aquatic Geographic authority to Latitude Longitude (decimal aquatic resources in resources (i.e., which the aquatic Site Number (decimal degrees) review area (acreage wetland vs. non- resource "may be" degrees) and linear feet, if wetland waters) subject (i.e., Section 404 applicable or Section 10/404) 35.3057 -80.9310 0.1 ac Wetland 404 Wetland A 35.3054 -80.9286 0.01 ac Wetland 404 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: SUPPORTING DATA.
