The survey was intended to document the presence or absence of this species in previously identified areas of potential habitat. The letter of findings completed for this project by Terracon in April 2020 identified areas of potential habitat; however, surveys could not be conducted at that time because the survey window for Michaux’s sumac is May-October. Ms. Graham visited a reference population of Michaux’s sumac located in Knightdale, NC before entering the project study area. Once in the project study area, the areas of potential habitat were surveyed by walking pedestrian transects and visually searching for the species. Common species that were identified within the project study area include winged sumac (Rhus copallinum), Canada goldenrod (Solidago altissima) and dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium). No Michaux’s sumac was identified. These results lead us to conclude that Michaux’s sumac is not present in the study area and the proposed activities in the area will have No Effect on this species. No additional outstanding protected species issues remain associated with this project. Please let us know if you have any questions.
