E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Impacts associated with the proposed development were limited through site selection, design, and location/orientation of the proposed lots and
access routes. Proposed alignments are designed to meet safety and conductivity requirements while preserving as much undisturbed stream corridor
as feasible. The applicant has demonstrated substantial avoidance and minimization efforts in which 86 % of the 0.567 acres of onsite wetlands and
95 % of the 5,291 If of onsite streams will avoid permanent impacts.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Construction techniques will implement approved erosion control methods to avoid/minimize impacts to onsite/adjacent offsite receiving conveyances.
Crossings have been proposed within less sinuous stream sections to minimize impacts. All utilities but one will be bored to avoid impacts. Wetland
impacts due to utilities were a result of realigning the utility corridor to eliminate an additional stream crossing.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
r Yes r No
2c. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply):

Location description: The review area is located on the east side of Secrest Short Cut Road; approximately 4 miles southeast of
the intersection of Secrest Short Cut Road and N. Rocky River Road. PIN: 09216042. Reference review area description
shown in Jurisdictional Determination Request package entitled "Figure 1, Vicinity Mad' and Printed Date of 08/14/2018.
Indicate Which of the Following APP
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 10/2/2019. 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.
SAW-2019-02211
❑ 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
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 Bryan Roden -Reynolds at 704-510-1440 or
b rvan.roden-reynolds(a,u sace.army.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination
form dated 01/17/2020.
D. Remarks: None.

Blue Sky Meadows- Threatened / Endangered / Protected Species Evaluation
Two plant species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in
Union 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).
• 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.
Two animal species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in
Union 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.
RESULTS:
The site consists of expansive woodlots that have been timbered and are in early
succession; old logging roads; creek corridors with narrow buffers; large crop
fields; and a private home site with lawn and landscaping, small outbuildings, and
a gravel driveway.
The timbered area is highly disturbed and is covered with old logging roads,
debris piles and stump sprouts, with extensive bramble thickets dominated by
Blackberry (Rubus sp.), Carolina Rose (Rosa caroling), Chinese Privet
(Ligustrum sinense), and Winged Sumac (Rhus copallina). Sapling trees are
filling in, dominated by Sweetgum (Liquidambar styracif/ua), Yellow Poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera), White Oak (Quercus alba), Post Oak (Q. stellata),
Virginia Pine (Pinus virginiana), Shortleaf Pine (P. echinata), Black Cherry
(Prunus serotina), Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and Black Gum
(Nyssa sylvatica).

Blue Sky Meadows - Threatened/ Endange7Y'd / Pt-otected Species Evaluation
Trees present on the narrow stream buffers include Red Oak (Q. rubra),
Southern Red Oak (Q. fa/cata), Willow Oak (Q. phellos), Mockernut Hickory
(Carya tomentosa), Shagbark Hickory (C. ovata), Hackberry (Ce/tis /aevigata),
American Elm (U/mus americans), and White Ash (Fraxinus americans).
There are several large, open crop fields. At the time of the site investigation
they were planted in soy beans.
The roadside and transitional fringe along the edges of the woods and fields are
dominated by common and weedy species including Johnson grass (Sorghum
halepense), Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), Sourgrass (Rumex
acetosella), Cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium), Ragwort (Packera sp.), Ragweed
(Ambrosia sp.), Wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia), Goldenrod (Solidago sp.), and
Dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium).
Threatened & Endangered/Protected Species Results
All potential habitats for Schweinitiz's Sunflower and Michaux's Sumac
along the wood lines, roadside and field edges were closely examined.
No individuals of Schweinitz's Sunflower or Michaux's Sumac were
observed.
• There is no Bald Eagle habitat on site, and no eagles or eagle's nests
were observed.
There is no suitable habitat on site for Carolina Heelsplitter. No mussels
were observed during the survey nor would any be expected on -site.
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.

B.S. Biology, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Ms. Gaffney is a classically trained botanist and natural resource biologist, and
has conducted field work and investigative studies covering thousands of
cumulative acres in both North and South Carolina since 1996, including:
• Cabarrus County NC Natural Heritage Inventory 1997-1998. Organized,
directed, and worked in field survey of natural areas in Cabarrus County
for the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program.
• Lincoln County NC Natural Heritage Inventory 2000-2001. Organized,
directed, and worked in field survey of natural areas in Lincoln County for
the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program.
• Threatened and Endangered Species Surveys and Natural Communities
Evaluation for over 45,000 acres in North and South Carolina, 1996 -
present.
• Located and identified at least six previously unreported populations of
Federally Endangered Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii).
• Located and identified four previously unreported populations of
Threatened Dwarf Heartleaf (Hexastylis nanif/ora).
• Located a previously unknown population of Federally Endangered
Schweinitz's Sunflower at Redlair Farm in Gaston County, NC. This
discovery led (in part) to the purchase of the site by the State of North
Carolina Plant Conservation Program, now called Redlair Preserve. This
population has become a Recovery Site for the species.
Participated in numerous Piedmont Prairie restoration projects in
Mecklenburg, Union, Cabarrus and Gaston Counties, North Carolina.
