Dear Dan McCauley:
Subject: Hambright Road Undisclosed Development; Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the information provided in your
correspondence dated March 12, 2021 wherein you solicit our comments regarding project -
mediated impacts to federally protected species. We submit the following comments in
accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.); and
section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
Project Description
Your correspondence did not describe the proposed project or identify a federal nexus. We
require this information to complete our review. Guidance information about the contents of a
biological evaluation/biological assessment can be found here:
hllps://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmis/project review/assessment guidance.html
Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species
According to Service records, suitable summer roosting habitat may be present in the project
area for the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). However, the
final 4(d) rule, (effective as of February 16, 2016) exempts incidental take of northern long-eared
bat associated with activities that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a known hibernation site,
and greater than 150 feet from a known, occupied maternity roost during the pup season (June 1
— July 31). Based on the information provided, the project would occur at a location where any
incidental take that may result from associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule.
Although not required, we encourage you to conduct any associated tree clearing activities
outside the pup season (June 1 to July 31) and/or active season (April 1 to October 15) to
reduce the chance of impacting unidentified maternity roosts.
According to the information provided, suitable habitat occurs onsite for the endangered
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), Smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) and
Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii). However, botanical surveys conducted during November
2020 detected no evidence for these species at that time. Due to the presence of suitable habitat,
but lack of onsite evidence for these species, we believe the probability for project -mediated loss
is insignificant and discountable. Therefore, we would concur with a "may affect, not likely to

adversely affect" determination for these species from the applicable federal action agency.
Moreover, we believe that suitable habitat is not present onsite for the federally endangered
Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorates), and we require no further information at this time.
Please be aware that obligations under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act must be
reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is
listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. Please contact Ms. Karla
Quast of our staff at [e-mail], if you have any questions. In any future
correspondence concerning this project, please reference our Log Number 4-2-21-186.
Sincerely,

Appendix C
Avoidance and Minimization
Proposed Hambright Industrial
10695 Hambright Road
Huntersville, North Carolina
H&H Job No. TRI-003
Avoidance and Minimization
The proposed development is located northwest of the intersection of Hambright Road and Mount
Holly-Huntersville Road in Huntersville, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The Site consists
one parcel (Mecklenburg County Parcel Number 01740104) that contains approximately 23.14
acres.
H&H reviewed State and Federal Threatened and Endangered Species databases for the Site and
conducted a screening survey of the Site and surrounding area in November of 2020 for Federal
Threatened and Endangered Species, and none were identified. Although the survey was
conducted after the growing season, only one freeze event occurred prior to the survey on
November 3, 2020. On -Site herbs, grasses and shrubs were still present during the screening
survey. H&H also reviewed the National Registry of Historic Places (NRHP) for Sites located in
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina; the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (NC
SHPO) GIS viewer; and the Site and surrounding area via visual reconnaissance for the potential
presence of historic, cultural, and/or archeological sites. No recorded sites were noted on or
adjacent to the Site. No significant structures were observed on -Site. H&H requested comment
on the Site from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), NC Wildlife Resources
Commission (WRC), and NC SHPO in March 2021. Agency responses are included in Appendix
D.
To minimize Site impacts, the proposed Site plan was designed to avoid Waters of the US to the
maximum extent practicable. The Site building, parking areas, loading docks, and stormwater
management areas have been designed to primarily occupy upland areas. The sanitary sewer along
the southern and western portions of the Site is being realigned, and a variance has been proposed
to allow the Site building to be shifted southwest into the required roadside buffer along Hambright
Road in an attempt to further reduce impacts.

Application/Flambright/C - Avoid and Minimize.docx
SMARTER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS

A previously designed Concept Site Plan prepared by D&A Wolverine indicates that the developer
originally proposed a significantly larger area of disturbance, which included additional parking
areas. The proposed Site building has been reduced from 285,000 square feet to 225,000 square
feet which is the industry minimum required for the current market. In addition, infrastructure has
been shifted and a retaining wall has been proposed to further avoid grading in Waters of the U.S.
The current Site Plan and prior Concept Site Plan are included in Appendix B.
During Site development, good erosion and sediment control practices will be followed. Extensive
silt fencing will be used on the construction Site perimeter and along stream and wetland
boundaries.
Mitigation
Mitigation is typically required by the USACE Nationwide Permit 39 for impacts greater than 0.1-
acre of wetlands and 0.02 acre of stream. Due to the proposed impacts to 0.355 acre of on -Site
wetlands and 0.034 acre (443 linear feet) of on -Site streams, compensatory mitigation is proposed
in the form of purchasing wetland mitigation credits from the Division of Mitigation Service In -
Lieu Fee Program and stream mitigation credits from the RES Catawba Umbrella Mitigation Bank.
The mitigation acceptance letters are included in Appendix F.
A North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (WAM) form and North Carolina Stream
Assessment (SAM) forms have been conducted for the on -Site wetland (Wetland `A') and on -Site
stream (Stream Channel `A') respectively. The WAM and SAM forms are attached in Appendix
G. The overall WAM rating for the wetland is medium quality, and the overall SAM rating for
the stream is medium quality. Because the wetland and stream are of medium quality, a mitigation
ratio of 2:1 is proposed although we believe a 1.5:1 ratio would also be reasonable if the Corps
agrees. At a 2:1 mitigation ratio, 0.71 acre of mitigation is proposed for impacts to wetlands via
the In -Lieu Fee Program, and 886 linear feet of mitigation is proposed for impacts to streams via
private mitigation bank.

Subject: Request for Environmental Review
10695 Hambright Road Redevelopment
Huntersville, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. McCauley,
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) received your email on 12
March 2021. Biologists with NCWRC have reviewed the subject information. Comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667e) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
Hart & Hickman, PC (H&H) is requesting information on the potential impacts to threatened and
endangered species and critical habitats at or near the proposed redevelopment project to be located at
10695 Hambright Road in Huntersville, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The 23.14-acre site is a
former residence that is forested in the western portion and a maintained, grassy area in the eastern
portion.
The site drains to an unnamed tributary of Torrence Creek in the Catawba River basin occurs at the site.
Torrence Creek is classified as a Water Supply IV stream by the NC Division of Water Resources. H&H
documented a stream in the northeastern portion of the site and a wetland in the east -central portion of the
site. NCWRC has no current records of federal or state rare, threatened or endangered species within or
adjacent to the site. H&H surveyed the site for federally protected species and their suitable habitat in
November 2020, and no individuals were observed during the field survey. Please note that November is
outside the optimal survey window for the federally listed plant species.
We offer the following preliminary recommendations to minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial
wildlife resources.
1. We recommend the proposed redevelopment avoid impacting the stream and wetland on the site.
2. Also, maintain a minimum 100-foot undisturbed, native, forested buffer along perennial streams,
and a minimum 50-foot buffer along intermittent streams and wetlands. Maintaining undisturbed,
forested buffers along these areas will minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife

resources, water quality, and aquatic habitat both within and downstream of the project area.
Also, wide riparian buffers are helpful in maintaining stability of stream banks and for treatment
of pollutants associated with urban stormwater.
3. Disturbed areas should be re -seeded with native seed mixtures. Avoid fescue -based mixtures and
lespedeza because fescue is invasive and/or non-native. Native, annual small grains appropriate
for the season are preferred and recommended. Consider planting native, wildflower seed mixes
and plants that will create pollinator habitat within the site. Avoid using invasive, non-native
plants in seed mixtures or landscaping plants
(http://www.ncwildflower.org_/plant galleries/invasives_list).
4. We recommend using green construction techniques to improve water, waste, and energy
efficiency, such as environmental -friendly building techniques, construction waste management,
and energy efficient building materials.
Use non-invasive native species and Low Impact Development (LID) technology in landscaping.
Using LID technology in landscaping will not only help maintain the predevelopment hydrologic
regime, but also enhance the aesthetic and habitat value of the site. LID techniques include
permeable pavement and bioretention areas that can collect stormwater from driveways and
parking areas. Additional alternatives include narrower roads, swales versus curbs/gutters and
permeable surfaces such as turf stone, brick, and cobblestone. Compared to conventional
developments, implementing appropriate LID techniques can be more cost-effective, increase
property values, provide space -saving advantages, reduce runoff, and protect water quality
(Roseen et al. 2011). Also, additional information on LID can be found at the NC State
University LID guide: http://www.onsiteconsortium.or /g_npsdeal/NC LID_Guidebook.pdf.
NCWRC's Green Growth Toolbox provides information on nature -friendly planning
(http://www.ncwildlife.org/Conservin /g Programs/GreenGrowthToolbox.aspx).
At this time, the information provided is not sufficient for our staff to make definitive recommendations
or conclusions concerning this project. If I can be of additional assistance, please call [phone] or
email olivia.munzerkncwildlife.org.

This document confirms that the Trinity Capital Advisors (Applicant) for the Hambright Road
Industrial (Project) has expressed an interest to utilize 886 Stream Mitigation Credits from the EBX
sponsored RES Catawba Umbrella Mitigation Bank, specifically 886 Stream credits from the Dogtown
Site, in the Catawba HUC 03050101. As the official Bank Sponsor, Environmental Banc & Exchange,
LLC, attests to the fact that mitigation is available for reservation at this time.
These mitigation credits are not considered secured, and consequently are eligible to be used for alternate
purposes by the Bank Sponsor, until payment in full is received from the Applicant resulting in the
issuance of a Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate by the bank acknowledging that the Applicant has
fully secured credits from the bank and the Banker has accepted full responsibility for the mitigation
obligation requiring the credits/units.
The Banker will issue the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate within three (3) days of receipt of the
purchase price. Banker shall provide to Applicant a copy of the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate and
a documented copy of the debit of credits from the Bank Official Credit Ledger(s), indicating the permit
number and the resource type secured by the applicant. A copy of the Mitigation Credit Transfer
Certificate, with an updated Official Credit Ledger will also be sent to regulatory agencies showing the
proper documentation.
