Subject: Pre -Construction Notification: Nationwide Permit 27 & General Certification No. 4134
Beaverdam Creek Dam Removal
Haywood County, North Carolina
To Whom It May Concern,
Please find the attached Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) and supporting documentation to apply for
a Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 27 & General Certification No. 4134 for the Beaverdam Creek Dam
Removal in Canton, NC.
The Beaverdam Creek Dam is a privately owned dam and is a complete barrier to upstream movement of
aquatic species on the Beaverdam Creek. As outlined in this application, the dam is proposed to be
removed to restore connectivity of aquatic populations, lotic stream habitat, and other ecological functions
of Beaverdam Creek. Other purposes include reducing upstream flooding and restoring streambanks and
riparian habitat.
The Beaverdam Creek Dam is of concrete construction and has a structural height of approximately 12 ft
and a length of approximately 65 ft. The dam is currently not maintained, and the normal pool water
surface elevation is at times affected by one low-level gate outlet that passes through the spillway section
of the dam and is consistently open. In the past this gate has breached, and the impoundment and sediment
has drained through the gate. Currently the gate is clogged with debris and flows are going over the top
of the dam. The project will remove and demolish the dam structure. If the natural rock and concrete from
the dam meets the proper specifications and is free of metal, it will be used for stream bank stabilization
or other in -stream structures. Excess rock and concrete will be taken to a certified disposal site in
coordination with the City of Canton. No mitigation credit is being sought for this project.
The project area was delineated by KCI Associates of NC on April 17, 2017. A preliminary jurisdictional
determination request is included within this permit package. The only jurisdictional water within the
project area is Beaverdam Creek for a total of 4781f. The jurisdictional request only covers the immediate
project area where disturbance is to occur, but the entire limits of the upstream impounded area were
assessed in April 2017. There were no wetlands within that area that would be affected by lowering the
impoundment.
f mplrx rr-(hrni'd Since 1988
RISE TO THE CHALLENGE lb'WW.M.Com

Stream impacts are due to excavation of the dam impoundment. The stabilization of the stream banks in
the vicinity of the dam will involve addition of rock material and installation of soil lifts and live stakes.
Additionally, a total of 1,570 tons of sediment will be released due to the dam removal but will meet the
'de minimis' sediment condition.
The North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (NC SHPO) reviewed the project and provided a
letter of concurrence dated May 5, 2017 that the project will have no effect on archaeological or
architectural resources.
The preceding information, along with the enclosed Pre -Construction Notification, Vicinity map, USGS
map, Soils map, Jurisdictional Features map, and Impact map. Additional attachments include Site Plans,
de minimis condition and other supporting hydraulic analyses memo, an Impact Map, and NC SHPO
correspondence.
A copy of this application is also being provided to the NC Division of Water Resources for their review.
If you have any questions or need additional information please contact me at your earliest convenience
at [phone] or [e-mail].

Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The dam structure will be demolished and removed. Reusable concrete and rock (without rebar or other metal)
in the dam structure will be isolated and used for stream bank stabilization and in -stream structures. Leftover
material will be disposed of at an offsite location in coordination with the City of Canton. As indicated in the
plans, portions of the stream banks will be graded and stabilized with bioengineering and native vegetation.
The impounded sediment will be released over time due to the dam removal but will meet the 'de minimis'
sediment condition required by the permits. Please see the attached sediment analysis for supporting
information on 'de minimis' conditions. A variety of heavy equipment may be used for this project, including
track hoes (with a hydraulic hammer), front-end loaders, back hoes, and dump trucks.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through project design:
The project will involve the removal of a deteriorated dam structure and the stabilization of adjacent stream
banks and the stream bed. Analyses were conducted to minimize sediment release during the dam removal.
Existing USGS gage data from similar systems was analyzed and hydraulic modeling was performed per USACE
guidance to determine the 'de minimis' sediment condition on Beaverdam Creek. Iterations of hydraulic model
runs were performed to determine the appropriate phasing and timing of the dam removal in order to meet
the 'de minimis' condition. Please see the attached memo regarding the 'de minimis' condition analysis. The
design also incorporates erosion and sediment control measures to minimize sediment release during
construction.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Construction will be conducted during low flow conditions and to the extent practicable equipment will
minimize being in flowing water conditions during grading and demolition activities. Typical sediment and
erosion control practices will be implemented. As much as is feasible with the conditions during construction,
river sediment to be removed will be isolated from the active flow.

SHALL BE STABILIZED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EROSION CONTROL PRACTICES DESCRIBED
IN THESE PLANS. THE CONTRACTOR IS REQUIRED TO MINIMIZE, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, THE AMOUNT
OF THE AREA THAT IS DISTURBED AT ONE TIME.
2. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL EXERCISE EVERY REASONABLE PRECAUTION THROUGHOUT THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT TO PREVENT EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION. EROSION
CONTROL MEASURES SHALL BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
PROJECT PLANS, NORTH CAROLINA SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL GUIDELINES AND AS
DIRECTED BY THE DESIGNER,
3. IN THE EVENT OF A STORM, THE CONTRACTOR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REMOVAL OR
PROTECTION OF ANY EQUIPMENT, TOOLS, MATERIALS OR OTHER ITEMS NEEDED TO COMPLETE
THE WORK THAT COULD BE AFFECTED BY STORMWATER.
4. EACH SEDIMENT CONTROL DEVICE WILL BE REMOVED AFTER ALL WORK IN THE CORRESPONDING
CONSTRUCTION PHASE HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND ADEQUATE PERMANENT GROUND COVER HAS
BEEN RE-ESTABLISHED ON THE DISTURBED AREAS, AS DETERMINED BY THE DESIGNER.
5. THE CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCES AND STAGING AREAS IDENTIFIED ON THE PLANS PROVIDE THE
ONLY ACCESS POINTS INTO THE LIMITS OF DISTURBANCE. NO ADDITIONAL ACCESS POINTS SHALL
BE USED WITHOUT APPROVAL OF THE DESIGNER.
6. ALL EXCAVATED MATERIAL SHALL BE STOCKPILED WITHIN THE LIMITS OF DISTURBANCE FOR
LATER USE AS FILL MATERIAL. SILT FENCE SHALL BE INSTALLED ON THE LOW SIDE OF ANY
TEMPORARY OR PERMANENT SPOIL AND TOPSOIL PILES. THESE SPOIL PILES SHALL ALSO BE SEEDED
AND MULCHED FOR VEGETATIVE STABILIZATION WITHIN 7 DAYS THAT THEY ARE CREATED. ALL SPOIL
MATERIAL SHALL STAY ON THE SITE AND SHALL NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY
WITHOUT DESIGNER APPROVAL.
7. ALL EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PRACTICES WILL BE CHECKED FOR STABILITY AND FUNCTIONAL
OPERATION FOLLOWING EVERY RUNOFF PRODUCING RAIN EVENT AND/OR AT LEAST ONCE PER WEEK.
ANY NEEDED MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS SHALL BE MADE IMMEDIATELY TO MAINTAIN ALL MEASURES
AS DESIGNED. ACCUMULATED SEDIMENT SHALL BE REMOVED FROM CONTROL MEASURES WHEN THEY
REACH APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THEIR FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY. THESE MEASURES SHALL BE REPAIRED
IF DISTURBED DURING MAINTENANCE. ALL SEEDED AREAS SHALL BE FERTILIZED, RESEEDED AND
MULCHED, AS NECESSARY, TO PROMOTE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF VEGETATION COVER.
8. ALL EXCESS WASTE MATERIAL SHALL BE DISPOSED OF AT A PERMITTED FACILITY OR SITE.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an =roved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS
Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the
review area.
✓❑ Size of Property or Review Area 0.90 acres.
❑ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

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 a non -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:

Subject: Sediment and Hydraulic Analysis Memo
Beaverdam Creek Dam Removal
Haywood County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Brown;
This memo addresses the requirement for de minimis impacts related to sediment release for this dam removal
project as well as an analysis of the stability of the designed grade control structures.
Sediment Analysis
An analysis of the sediment transport was conducted to provide evidence that water quality impacts will be de
minimis with the removal of the dam and the release of the sediment behind the dam. The dam had been intact
throughout recent history until a gate at the bottom of the dam breached in 2015, drawing down the water and
sediment that had been impounded. In the 2017 site visit and survey, this breach was observed with little sediment
trapped behind the dam. Since that visit, the gate has apparently become clogged with debris and sediment has again
accumulated behind the dam. The breach and the change from 2017 to 2020 can be seen in the pictures below.
Figure 1. Looking Upstream at the Hole in the Dam in 2017

WWW.KCI.COM

Figure 2. Looking at the Upstream Condition of the Dam in 2017
Figure 3. Looking at the Upstream Condition of the Dam in 2020
To remove the dam, the impoundment will be dewatered by either opening up the existing gate or notching the dam
to the gate to release the backed -up water and lower the water surface elevation behind the dam. A sediment analysis
was completed in HEC-RAS 4.1.0 model to determine the amount of sediment that would flow through the dam
after it was breached. The impact will be considered de minimis, or too small to have a significant detrimental
impact on the surrounding ecosystem, if that amount of sediment is lower than the sediment that would typically be
released from this watershed during a 20-year storm event.
The extent of the sediment that would be disturbed with the removal of the dam was assumed to be located within
the backwater of the dam, which extends 600' upstream of the dam. In this reach of stream, the depth of the sediment
that would be disturbed was predicted based on the bed difference between the 2017 and 2020 surveys along with
an extra two feet in depth below the 2017 surface to be more conservative. In cross -sections outside of the survey
but within the backwater of the dam it was assumed that the bed would change up to two feet below the existing
ground.

RISE TO THE CHALLENGE WWW.KC1.00M

The typical bed materials used for the sediment analysis were from bulk samples completed by KCI in 2017. A
lateral bar upstream of the dam was sampled twice, once in the upper portion of the bar and once in the lower
portion. The bar was dominated by a muddy fine sand, with finer sediment on the downstream side. Each sample
was collected to a depth of approximately six inches. The first (upper bar) sample had a D50 below 1 mm and a
D84 of 4.57 mm. The second (lower bar) sample had both its D50 and D84 below 1 mm. The second sample was
entered as the bed gradation for all of the cross -sections within the backwater of the dam because the sediment was
smaller in that area. The rest of the cross -sections used the upstream sample. Table 1 shows the breakdown of each
sample. The Laursen (Copeland) sediment transport function method was used with this typical sediment material
to predict the rates of sediment movement. This method was used because it includes sediment types down into the
silt and sand range, which were observed at the project site.

A rating curve comparing the suspended sediment load to instantaneous discharge needed to be created to determine
the amount of sediment moving through the system. USGS stream gages often have historic data that compares
these two variables. Since Beaverdam Creek did not have a USGS gage located within its watershed, several nearby
USGS gages were reviewed to determine which gage had the most similar land use cover compared to the project
site. The land use cover was predicted from 2011 National Land Cover Database (NLCD) percentages created from
StreamStats for the watershed at each site. The Hominy Creek gage, USGS #03448500, had the most similar land
uses as seen in the table below.

The historic suspended sediment concentration (mg/L) data was retrieved from the Hominy Creek gage and used to
create the rating curve comparing the concentration with the instantaneous discharge measured at the same time.
The rating curve graph can be seen below. Any discharge outside of the data was assumed based on the trend line
it created.

The following equation was used to convert from suspended sediment concentration (mg/L) to suspended sediment
load (ton/day).
Qs=Qw*Cs*k
QS = Suspended Sediment Load (ton/dat)
Qw = Discharge (CFS)
CS = Suspended Sediment Concentration (mg/L)
K = coefficient (0.0027)
Hydrographs, in conjunction with the rating curve, were created for the 2-year and 5-year storm events to determine
the amount of sediment that moved through the stream during those storm events. Since there are no observed data
on Beaverdam Creek to create the hydrographs, a synthetic SCS dimensionless unit hydrograph was used. This
hydrograph uses ratios comparing time to time -to -peak discharge and comparing discharge to peak discharge to
create a time over discharge hydrograph. The time -to -peak discharge was calculated using the time of concentration
at the confluence of Beaverdam Creek and Pigeon River. The time of concentration was predicted using the
watershed lag method which includes the flow length, average watershed land slope, and the curve number. The
2011 NLCD percentages generated from StreamStats determined the curve number used for the calculation. The
curve number used was 53 and the time -to -peak discharge was 10.5 hours for the entire Beaverdam Creek
watershed. The peak discharges used for the hydrograph ratios were calculated using USGS regression equations
from the USGS Rural Equations Report 2009-5158 and are seen in the table below. The 1-year discharge was not
included in the USGS equations but was extrapolated from the trendline created from the peak discharges.

Also, a rating curve comparing discharge over stage was developed for the downstream boundary condition.
The amount of sediment released with the removal of the dam needed to be calculated to compare with the storm
events. A constant 1-year peak discharge was assumed to be the base flow and applied over the time period of a
week, the predicted time it would take for the sediment to wash out behind the dam and the water surface elevation
to lower enough for work to begin. The total cumulative sediment output for the base flow is 1,570 tons, as seen in

The predicted sediment released from the removal of the dam at 1,570 tons is close to the 5-year storm of 1,656
tons and is considered de minimis. The dam is also located near the confluence with the Pigeon River and the
amount of sediment that will be generated from the dam removal will most likely be smaller than much smaller
storm events within the Pigeon River. Therefore, the estimated amount of sediment released by the removal of the
dam will not negatively impact the downstream water quality or ecosystems.
Grade Control Structure Stability Analysis
The stability of the riprap in the proposed riffles was analyzed by comparing the proposed riprap mixture with the
maximum stone size that will move from the 10-year storm. The 10-year storm discharge of 3240 CFS was
determined from the FEMA Flood Insurance Study for the Town of Canton, NC. A HEC-RAS model was created
for the proposed conditions and produces a maximum shear stress of 6.91b/ft' in the first riffle and 29.8 lb/ft2 in the
second riffle. The second riffle has a larger shear stress because it has a steeper slope at 11%. The maximum
diameter of the stone that the shear stress will begin to move was determined by using two different trendlines, the
Rosgen Colorado trendline and the Leopold, Wolman, and Miller 1964 trendline. The maximum stone diameter for
f mhlrvee-Owned Since 1988
RISE TO THE CHALLENGE wVVW.KCI.COM

each riffle was calculated as the largest number from the two trendlines and set as the target d100 of the designed
riprap mixture. The calculated largest stone size needed for the first riffle is 24.8 in and the second riffle is 72.7 in.
The proposed riprap for both riffles will be 40% Class 1 Riprap, 40% Class 2 Riprap, and 20% Boulders which
provides a d 100 of 48 in. The first riffle should be stable because the proposed riprap mixture has a larger stone size
than the one predicted from the Rosgen trendline. While the second riffle will have a smaller stone size than
determined from the trendline, it should be stable because the boulders and riprap will interlock and work together
to anchor the riffle in place. Also, the boulders in the proposed riprap mixture should not move because their size
was specified to match stable boulders in an existing downstream riffle with a similar slope.
The Coefficient of Curvature, Cz, of the riprap mixture was calculated to determine if the mixture is well mixed.
Well mixed riprap is needed to make sure that it will anchor in place and have little void space. The Coefficient of
Curvature, Cz, for well -mixed rock is between 1 and 3 according to R. F. Craig's Soil Mechanics book. The
Coefficient of Curvature is calculated by the equation: Cz = d302/(d6O * d10). The riprap mixture for the project
has a Cz of 1.0 which is within the appropriate range.

Byron,
I just wanted to send you an update on where we are with this project. The permit materials are mostly complete, we
just need to wrap up the landowner authorization forms, with Erin at AR is working on. I don't have a great timeframe
on that, but it should be done soon.
Let me know if you've got time to discuss the project. I want to make sure that everything you want to see will be
included in the permit package for your review. The permit materials will have most of the same components as we've
talked about before when this project started a few years ago, so if there's nothing additional that you want to see
that's fine too. I just want to check.
I've copied Tripp on this since it's his crew that will be doing the work. He may be able to answer questions related to
the construction side of things if you have them.
Thanks,

RE: Biological Evaluation
Beaverdam Creek Dam Removal
Haywood County, NC
KCI Associates of NC has completed a biological evaluation for the Beaverdam Creek Dam Removal
Project. The Beaverdam Creek Dam is a privately owned dam and is a complete barrier to upstream
movement of aquatic species on the Beaverdam Creek. The Beaverdam Creek Dam is of concrete
construction and has a structural height of approximately 12 ft and a length of approximately 65 ft.
The dam is currently not maintained, and the normal pool water surface elevation is at times affected
by one low-level gate outlet that passes through the spillway section of the dam and is consistently
open. In the past this gate has breached, and the impoundment and sediment has drained through the
gate. Currently the gate is clogged with debris and flows are going over the top of the dam.
The dam structure will be demolished and removed. Portions of the stream banks will be graded and
stabilized with bioengineering and native vegetation. The impounded sediment will be released over
time due to the dam removal but will meet the'de minimis' sediment condition required by the permits.
Please see the attached sediment analysis for supporting information on `de minimis' conditions. A
variety of heavy equipment may be used for this project, including track hoes (with a hydraulic
hammer), front-end loaders, back hoes, and dump trucks.
Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat assessments were performed in conjunction with the
wetland and stream delineation on April 17, 2017. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) lists ten federally protected species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for Haywood
County (Table 1). A brief description of each species' habitat requirements follows, along with the
Biological Conclusion rendered based on survey results in the study area. Habitat requirements for
each species are based on the current best available information from referenced literature and/or
USFWS.

Appalachian elktoe
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: year round
Habitat Description: The Appalachian elktoe is known from the French Broad River watershed in
North Carolina. The Appalachian elktoe has been observed in moderate- to fast -flowing
water, in gravelly substrates often mixed with cobble and boulders, in cracks of bedrock
and in relatively silt -free, coarse, sandy substrates. Apparently, stability of the substrate is
critical to this species, as it is seldom found in stream reaches with accumulations of silt or
shifting sand, gravel, or cobble.
Employee -Owned Since 1988
RISE TO THE CHAUENGE WWw.KCI.COM

Biological Conclusion: May affect, but not likely to adversely affect
There is no suitable habitat for the Appalachian elktoe within the project area. The dam has
resulted in accumulation of sand and silt behind the dam and in the upstream portions of
Beaverdam Creek. A review of the NCNHP records, updated July 2020, indicates one
known Appalachian elktoe occurrence (EO 13495) within 1.0 mile of the study area. This
population is found in the Pigeon River approximately 1,400 feet upstream of the
confluence with Beaverdam Creek.
Rusty -patched bumble bee
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: early -June and mid -August
Habitat Description: Rusty patched bumble bees once occupied grasslands and tallgrass prairies
of the Upper Midwest and Northeast, but most grasslands and prairies have been lost,
degraded, or fragmented by conversion to other uses. 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).
Bumble bees gather pollen and nectar from a variety of flowering plants. The rusty patched
emerges early in spring and is one of the last species to go into hibernation. It needs a
constant supply and diversity of flowers blooming throughout the colony's long life, April
through September.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the rusty -patched bumble bee does not occur in the study area. The
USFWS has categorized Haywood County as an "Historical Range: rusty patched bumble
bee not present" for rusty -patched bumble bee. Based off the USFWS Survey Protocols,
paved areas; mowed lawns; forest where invasive shrubs are dominant and spring
ephemeral flowers are absent; and areas mowed too frequently to allow development of
diverse wildflower resources are not suitable habitat for the rusty -patched bumble bee. The
project area is consist of mowed lawns and forested areas with thick invasive shrubs. The
area does not support diverse wildflower resources.
Spreading avens
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: June -September
Habitat Description: Spreading avens occurs in areas exposed to full sun on high -elevation cliffs,
outcrops, and bases of steep talus slopes. This perennial herb also occurs in thin, gravelly
soils of grassy balds near summit outcrops. The species prefers a northwest aspect, but can
be found on west-southwest through north-northeast aspects. Forests surrounding known
occurrences are generally dominated by either red spruce -Fraser fir, northern hardwoods
Employee -Owned Since 1988
RISE TO THE CHALLENGE WWW.KCI.COM

with scattered spruce, or high -elevation red oaks. Spreading avens typically occurs in
shallow, acidic soil (such as the Burton series) in cracks and crevices of igneous,
metamorphic, or metasedimentary rocks. Soils may be well drained but almost
continuously wet, with soils at some known occurrences subject to drying out in summer
due to exposure to sun and shallow depths. Known populations occur at elevations
ranging from 4,296 to 6,268 feet above mean sea level. Blue Ridge goldenrod, Heller's
blazing star, and Roan Mountain bluet are a few of its common associate species.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
There is no suitable habitat for spreading avens within the study area. There are no areas
exposed to full sunlight at or above 4,200 feet above mean sea level within the study area.
Elevations in the study area do not exceed 2,600 feet above mean sea level. A review of
the NCNHP records, updated July 2020, indicates no known spreading avens occurrence
within 1.0 mile of the study area.
Carolina Northern flying squirrel
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: May -October; coldest days in coldest winter months
(nest box surveys)
Habitat Description: There are several isolated populations of the Carolina Northern flying
squirrel in the mountains of North Carolina. This nocturnal squirrel prefers the ecotone
between coniferous (red spruce, Fraser fir, or hemlock) and mature northern hardwood
forests (beech, yellow birch, maple, hemlock, red oak, and buckeye), typically at elevations
above 4,500 feet mean sea level. In some instances, the squirrels may be found on narrow,
north -facing valleys above 4,000 feet mean sea level. Both forest types are used to search
for food and the hardwood forest is used for nesting sites. Mature forests with a thick
evergreen understory and numerous snags are most preferable. In winter, squirrels inhabit
tree cavities in older hardwoods, particularly yellow birch.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the Carolina northern flying squirrel does not exist within the study
area. Elevations in the study area do not exceed 2,600 feet above mean sea level. A review
of the NCNHP records, updated July 2020, indicates no known Carolina northern flying
squirrel occurrence within 1.0 mile of the study area.

Rock gnome lichen
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: year round
Habitat Description: Rock gnome lichen occurs in high elevation coniferous forests (particularly
those dominated by red spruce and Fraser fir) usually on rocky outcrop or cliff habitats.
This squamulose lichen only grows in areas with a great deal of humidity, such as high
elevations above 5,000 feet mean sea level where there is often fog, or on boulders and
large outcrops in deep river gorges at lower elevations. Habitat is primarily limited to
vertical rock faces where seepage water from forest soils above flows only at very wet
times. The species requires a moderate amount of sunlight, but cannot tolerate high -
intensity solar radiation. The lichen does well on moist, generally open sites with northern
exposures, but requires at least partial canopy coverage on southern or western aspects
because of its intolerance to high solar radiation.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the rock gnome lichen does not exist within the study area. Elevations
in the study area do not exceed 2,600 feet above mean sea level. A review of the NCNHP
records, updated July 2020, indicates no known rock gnome lichen occurrence within 1.0
mile of the study area.
Small whorled pogonia
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: mid May -early July
Habitat Description: Small whorled pogonia occurs in young as well as maturing (second to third
successional growth) mixed -deciduous or mixed-deciduous/coniferous forests. It does not
appear to exhibit strong affinities for a particular aspect, soil type, or underlying geologic
substrate. In North Carolina, the perennial orchid is typically found in open, dry deciduous
woods and is often associated with white pine and rhododendron. The species may also be
found on dry, rocky, wooded slopes; moist slopes; ravines lacking stream channels; or
slope bases near braided channels of vernal streams. The orchid, often limited by shade,
requires small light gaps or canopy breaks, and typically grows under canopies that are
relatively open or near features like logging roads or streams that create long -persisting
breaks in the forest canopy.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable forested habitat for the small whorled pogonia does not exist in the project study
area. The project area is located within the floodplain of Beaverdam Creek. The project
area consists of mowed lawns and forested areas with thick invasive shrubs. A review of
the NCNHP records, updated July 2020, indicates no known small whorled pogonia
occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area.

Spruce -fir moss spider
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: year round
Habitat Description: This species is known only from spruce -fir forests in the Appalachian
mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. The spruce -fir moss spider occurs in well -
drained moss and liverwort mats growing on rocks or boulders. These mats are found in
well -shaded areas in mature, high elevation (> 5,000 feet mean sea level) Fraser fir and red
spruce forests. The spruce -fir moss spider is very sensitive to desiccation and requires
environments of high and constant humidity. The need for humidity relates to the moss
mats, which cannot become too parched or else the mats become dry and loose. Likewise,
the moss mats cannot be too wet because large drops of water can also pose a threat to the
spider. The spider constructs its tube -shaped webs in the interface between the moss mat
and the rock surface. Some webs have been found to extend into the interior of the moss
mat.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the spruce -fir moss spider does not exist within the study area.
Elevations in the study area do not exceed 2,600 feet above mean sea level. A review of
the NCNHP records, updated July 2020, indicates no known spruce -fir moss spider
occurrence within 1.0 mile of the study area.
Gray bat
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: May 15-August 15 (summer); January 15-February 15
(winter)
Habitat Description: Gray bats are known mainly from the cave regions of the Southeast and
Midwest. They live in colonies in caves, utilizing different caves for summer roosting and
winter hibernating. Summer caves are usually within one half mile of a river or reservoir,
which provides foraging habitat. During the summer, females give birth and rear the young
in maternity caves, while males and yearlings roost in separate bachelor caves. Caves
preferred for hibernation are typically deep, vertical caves with a temperature between 42
and 52 degrees Fahrenheit. Gray bats are highly selective in choosing suitable caves, and
nine known caves are thought to provide hibernation space for 95 percent of the population.
Migration from summer to winter caves begins in September and is mainly complete by
the beginning of November.
Biological Conclusion: May affect, but not likely to adversely affect
There are no caves or other suitable roosting structures for the gray bat within the project
area. A review of the NCNHP records, updated July 2020, indicates one known gray bat
occurrence (EO 39834) within 1.0 mile of the study area.

Northern long-eared bat
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: June 1 — August 15
Habitat Description: In North Carolina, the northern long-eared bat (NLEB) occurs in the
mountains, with scattered records in the Piedmont and coastal plain. In western North
Carolina, NLEB spend winter hibernating in caves and mines. During the summer, NLEB
roosts singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and\or
dead trees (typically >3 inches dbh). Males and non -reproductive females may also roost
in cooler places, like caves and mines. This bat has also been found, rarely, roosting in
structures like barns and sheds, under eaves of buildings, behind window shutters, in
bridges, and in bat houses. Foraging occurs on forested hillsides and ridges, and
occasionally over forest clearings, over water, and along tree -lined corridors. Mature
forests may be an important habitat type for foraging.
Biological Conclusion: May affect, but not likely to adversely affect
The site contains potential summer roosting habitat for the NLEB. According to the
USFWS data, last updated September 4, 2018, the site is not located within a watershed
with known NLEB maternity trees or hibernation sites. The Beaverdam Creek Dam
Removal project is located approximately 9 miles from the nearest watershed with known
NLEB sites. A review of the NCNHP records, updated July 2020, indicates no known
NLEB occurrence within 1.0 mile of the study area. The project involves a dam removal
and stream bank stabilization. This work may involve the removal of one or two trees in
order to stabilize the banks of Beaverdam Creek.
Indiana bat
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: June 1 — August 15
Habitat Description: The range of the Indian bat centers on cavernous limestone regions in the
eastern United States. The Indiana bat has different summer and winter habitat
requirements. Winter habitat is in caves and abandoned mines that usually have standing
water on the floor. The bats migrate to the winter habitat between September and
November; they stay there with occasional periods of activity until they emerge in mid -
March to early May. Hibernation only occurs in regions where winter temperatures are
stable and around 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Suitable summer habitat includes roosting,
foraging, and commuting areas. Summer roosting habitat includes forests and woodlots
containing potential roost trees, which have exfoliating bark, cracks, or crevices in trees
(alive or dying) or snags that are > 3 inches diameter -at -breast height (dbh). Roosting
habitat may contain dense or loose aggregates of trees with variable amounts of canopy
closure. (While any tree greater than 3" dbh has the potential to be Indiana bat summer
roosting habitat, solid stands of 3" dbh and smaller trees are not considered suitable
roosting habitat; suitable roosting habitat would generally consist of forest patches with
Employee -Owned Since 1988
RISE TO THE CHALLENGE WWWACLCOM

larger trees also present.) Bridges are occasionally used for roosting by Indiana bats in the
summer.
Foraging habitat consists of forested patches, wooded riparian corridors, and natural
vegetation adjacent to these areas. Commuting habitat includes wooded tracts, tree -lines,
wooded hedgerows, streams or other such pathways that are within or connected to roosting
or foraging areas. Streams that have been stripped of their riparian vegetation do not appear
to offer suitable foraging habitat. Rivers as foraging areas and as migration routes are
extremely important to this species.
Biological Conclusion: May affect, but not likely to adversely affect
The site contains potential summer roosting and foraging habitat for the Indiana bat. The
project involves a dam removal and stream bank stabilization. This work may involve the
removal of several trees in order to stabilize the banks of Beaverdam Creek. A review of
the NCNHP records, updated July 2020, indicates no known Indiana bat occurrence within
1.0 mile of the study area.

RE: Beaverdam Creek Dam Removal; KCI
Dear Joe Sullivan:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/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. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
k++-.e-•/A........ F,.,icf(lffirnc rfm7ctatnr�nr'iA-Z7
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
