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, location, design, and location/orientation of the proposed lots
and access routes. Sanitary sewer tie-ins impacts are designed to be temporary, and all permanent impacts are the result of road crossings.
Impacts that could not be avoided include the temporary impacts to Wetland O due to two proposed manhole installations, the road crossings at
Wetland E, Stream A, and Stream H as it provides a secondary access point along Rainbow Road and meets connectivity requirements per the City.
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 to onsite/adjacent offsite receiving conveyances. At each
road crossing, the maximum allowable headwalls and 3:1 slopes are proposed to tie out to existing grade and minimize impacts. The riprap apron and
area needed for temporary construction access at Streams A and Stream H has been reduced. Other applications of riprap will be placed above the
OHWM so that no net loss of aquatic resources occur.

GENERAL LANDSCAPE DESCRIPTION:
The Rainbow Drive-Kannapolis site (+/- 133 acres) is located just north of
Mooresville Road; and just west of Rainbow Drive and Irish Buffalo Creek; in
Cabarrus County, North Carolina. It can be found on the Kannapolis, NC USGS
Topographic Quadrangle Maps; latitude is 35.4909 N, longitude is -80.6562 W.
The topography is flat to moderately sloped. The elevation ranges from 660 to
760 ft. (Figure 1). The site is disturbed and successional old farmland and wood
lots covered with old roads and a mixed pine and hardwood forest that is
disturbed throughout.

METHODOLOGY:
The US Fish and Wildlife Service website
https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cntylist/nc_counties.html was referenced to
determine the occurrence of Threatened, Endangered and Protected species for
Cabarrus 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 weeks of August 12 and 19, 2019.

SPECIES DESCRIPTIONS:
One plant species with federal protection was listed as potentially occurring in
Cabarrus 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).
A total of three animal species with federal protection are listed as potentially
occurring in Cabarrus 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.
RESULTS:
The site is successional old farmland and wood lots covered with old roads and a
mixed pine and hardwood forest that is disturbed throughout. A small power line
parallels the roadside corridor along Rainbow Drive, and the roadside corridor
along Mooresville Highway is undergoing major construction including a new
bridge crossing at Irish Buffalo Creek. The wooded slopes have streams and
drainages that flow generally southeastward into Irish Buffalo Creek. There is
considerable beaver activity in the floodplains of the main unnamed tributary, and
Irish Buffalo Creek, and several areas are inundated.
Portions of the site in the more recently disturbed upland and timbered areas are
covered with a mixed pine and hardwood forest. Dominant species present

include Shortleaf Pine (Pinus echinata), Virginia Pine (P. virginiana), Loblolly
Pine (P. taeda), Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), Winged Elm, (Ulmus alata),
Red Maple (Acer rubrum), Honey Locust (Gleditsia triacanthhos), Sweetgum
(Liquidambar styraciflua), Black Cherry (Prunus serotina), Persimmon (Diospyros
virginiana), Black Gum (Nyssa sylvatica), Blackberry (Rubus sp.), Russian Olive
(Elaeagnus umbellata), Smooth Sumac (Rhus glabra), Groundsel (Baccharis
halimifolia), Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Catbrier (Smilax sp.),
and Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans).
The steeper slopes with older growth woods approximate a Basic Oak-Hickory
Forest community type, grading into Piedmont/Low Mountain Alluvial
Forest in the bottomlands along the streams. The canopy is composed of White
Oak (Quercus alba), Post Oak (Q. stellata), Red Oak (Q. rubra), Southern Red
Oak (Q. falcata), Willow Oak (Q. phellos), Pignut Hickory (Carya glabra),
Shagbark Hickory (C. ovata), Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), Tulip Poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera), Hackberry (Celtis laevigata), American Elm (Ulmus
americana), and White Ash (Fraxinus americana). The floodplains also feature
Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), Green Ash (Fraxinus pensylvanica), and
Cottonwood (Populus deltoides). The subcanopy is composed of Flowering
Dogwood (Cornus florida), American Holly (Ilex opaca), Mulberry (Morus rubra),
Winged Elm (Ulmus alata), Black Cherry (Prunus serotina), Eastern Red Cedar,
and Black Gum (Nyssa sylvatica). Floodplain small trees include Box Elder
Maple (Acer negundo) and Ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana). The shrub layer
includes Black Haw (Viburnum prunifolium), and Pinxter Azalea (Rhododendron
nudiflorum), Heart’s-a-burtstin (Euonymus americanus), Blueberry (Vaccinium
spp.), Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinense), and Russian Olive (Elaeagnus
angustifolia). Vines present are Japanese Honeysuckle, Virginia Creeper
(Parthenocissus quinquefolia), Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), Mikania scandens
(Climbing Hempvine), Catbrier, and Poison Ivy. The herb layer includes Heartleaf
Ginger (Hexastylis arifolia), Christmas Fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), Ebony
Spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron), Spotted Wintergreen (Chimaphila
maculata), American alumroot (Heuchera americana), Running Pine
(Lycopodium flabelliforme), Downy Rattlesnake Plantain (Goodyera pubescens),
and Japanese Stilt Grass (Microstegium vimineum).
The assemblage of plants growing in the transitional and more open disturbed
areas and roadsides includes Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata),
Goldenrod (Solidago sp.), Blackberry, Broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus),
Splitbeard (A. ternarius), Groundsel (Senicio sp.), Johnson Grass, Rabbit
Tobacco (Gnapthalium obtusifolium), Beggars Ticks (Desmodium sp.),
Thoroughwort (Eupatorium sp.), and St. John’s Wort (Hypericum punctatum).
Rainbow Drive Kannapolis –Threatened / Endangered / Protected Species Evaluation

Threatened & Endangered/Protected Species Results

• All potential habitats for Schweinitz’s Sunflower along the roadsides, and
woods edges were examined, and the species was not found.

• No suitable nesting habitat exists on the site for Bald Eagles, and there
were no sightings nor were any nesting sites observed.

• The on-site streams do not have the habitat characteristics required to
support populations of the Carolina Heelsplitter. Based on existing
documentation, Carolina Heelsplitter populations have not been previously
identified within this basin. No individuals were observed during the survey
nor would any be expected on-site.

• Comparing this site location to the USFWS Asheville office’s website
(http://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmls/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.

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,
