Andre & Kevin,
USACE is requesting an updated PCN submittal for the Startown/Robinson Road Connector NWP 14 verification.
Additional information besides what was submitted by Mr. Lennon on April 1, 2021 is required.
USACE requests:
a. Updated PCN (impacts/thresholds/avoidance and minimization measures)
b. Completed Hexastylis Naniflora Survey with the locations of ALL Hexastylis Naniflora found on-site. (Please
provide in a overall Map feature, in reference to proposed Road construction)
c. Any additional information that can be provided to the USFWS for a Section 7 Consultation
At this time with new information under ESA Section 7, the prior permit that was issued is not verified until informal
consultation/coordination with US Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) is complete for the Dwarf-flowered Heartleaf(Hexastylis
Naniflora). We are required to make a determination of effect on federally listed species prior to issuing a permit to
impact jurisdictional waters of the United States. At this time, the Corps cannot make a determination of no effect,
therefore we will coordinate/consult the application with the USFWS.
Until the Corps completes consultation or can make a determination of no effect, we cannot make a final decision
regarding the use of the NWP program for this project. We will contact you once we have made a determination for this
project. USFWS usually responds within 60 days with comments.The Corps has placed processing your application on
hold until comments are received from USFWS.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
FYI: Mr. David Brown/ PM out of Asheville, will be handling this project in my Maternity leave absence. Please CC me
until April 9, 2021.
Regards
Krysta

Good afternoon Ms. Hood,
We heard from at least one person copied on this email that they couldn't access our submittal yesterday due to firewall
issues. We apologize in advance for multiple emails but we are sending our submittal again today to ensure you can
access the files. This is the first of two (2) emails with the pdf attachment files broken in to smaller files for your
use. Let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks.

Ms. Chapman:
Thank you for your consideration on the timing for the re-submittal. As requested, we performed two site visits to
confirm the presence of the dwarf-heartleaf with the last site visit being last week which we found numerous
clusters that impacted our previously prepared plans.
We are working diligently today to complete the resubmittal to show the avoidance of the plants - which we anticipate
should be out shortly to you guys.
We apologize for any inconvenience- let us know if you guys need any additional information to support the City of
Hickory's application.

15A NCAC 2H.0507 gives the Director of DWR the ability to deny any 401 application that does not meet our
requirements.
I know the question Mr.Thomas wanting the full 60 days to respond. We can give him until 5pm tomorrow (April 15t)
since Friday is a holiday and his 60 days is up on a weekend when we are not open.

Hi Amy,
Mr.Thomas is questioning the DWR ability to return an incomplete application.
Also,the endangered Hexasylis naniflora species has now been found on this site after the plant review was performed
at the correct time of year.The Corps has not been informed of this finding except by an email I sent about 30 minutes
ago. I have also copied the US Fish and Wildlife Service. As the 401 permit writer, I advise that both Federal agencies
should weigh in on this finding prior to resubmittal for DWR approval.
Thank you for any response you may have.
Regards,
Donna Hood
