Dan, no site plan, culvert information, maps: topo, aerial, location, nor delineation were
included with the application. Just the PCN and the mitigation.
Stream forms? NCSAM/WAM?
Avoidance and minimization was very general/basic discussion. Without a site plan not much
can be gleamed from the statement.
400 plus ft of stated intermittent and 1/3 plus acre of wetland seep is a concern. I sight visit is
required to confirm the intermittent call

Re: Pre -Construction Notification
Proposed Hambright Industrial Building
10695 Hambright Road
Huntersville, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
SAW-2021-00094
H&H Job No. TRI-003
Dear Bryan:
On behalf of Trinity Capital Advisors c/o Sports Village Land Group, LLC, Hart & Hickman, PC
(H&H) is submitting the attached Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) application for the
proposed construction of an industrial building in Huntersville, Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina. The Site consists of one parcel that contains approximately 23.14 acres of land
(Mecklenburg County Parcel Number 01740104) located northwest of the intersection of
Hambright Road and Mount Holly-Huntersville Road. H&H is submitting the PCN application
in order to receive verification to use Nationwide Permit (NWP) #39.
H&H received a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) Charlotte Regulatory Field Office on January 15, 2021. The PJD document
is attached in Appendix E.
There is one stream on the Site: Stream Channel `A' (SCA). Intermittent and perennial portions
of SCA are present on -Site. The intermittent portion of SCA originates at a headcut in the north -
central portion of the Site. The intermittent portion of SCA conveys drainage in a northwesterly

direction towards the perennial portion of SCA. The intermittent portion of SCA totals
approximately 317 linear feet. SCA transitions into a perennial stream in the northwestern
portion of the Site. The perennial portion of SCA conveys drainage in a northwesterly direction
off -Site. The perennial portion of SCA totals approximately 346 linear feet of on -Site length.
The on -Site stream discharges to the northwest off -Site with ultimate drainage into Torrance
Creek located approximately 5,400 feet to the north of the Site.
There is one forested wetland on the Site: Wetland Area `A' (WAA). WAA is a seep wetland
located along SCA in the central portion of the Site. WAA drains into SCA, which conveys
drainage generally to the northwest. WAA encompasses approximately 0.355 acre of on -Site
area.
The developer is proposing to impact 0.355 acre of WAA and 443 linear feet (0.034 acre) of
SCA. Impacts to WAA and SCA involve grading required to facilitate the construction of a level
building pad for the development of an industrial building and a truck loading dock. Due to the
NWP #39 mitigation threshold of 0.1 acre for wetland impacts and 0.02 acre for stream impacts,
mitigation is proposed via the NC Division of Mitigation Services In -Lieu Fee Program (for
wetland impacts) and RES Catawba Umbrella Mitigation Bank (for stream impacts). The
developer is not proposing additional impacts to on -Site streams or wetlands.
H&H is seeking a Nationwide Permit #39 verification for this development. A copy of the PCN
submittal package has also been submitted to the NC DEQ DWR.

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/Hambright/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.

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:
hqps://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmls/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 decorata), 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.

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: hqp://www.onsiteconsortium.org/npsdeal/NC_LID_Guidebook.pd£
NCWRC's Green Growth Toolbox provides information on nature -friendly planning
(http://www.ncwildlife.org/Conservin /g Programs/GreenGrowthToglbox.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

Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
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 11/25/2020. 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.
❑ 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

SAW-2021-00094
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 (LAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] 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
bryan.roden-reynolds(a,usace.army.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination
form dated 01/15/2021.
D. Remarks: None.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site
identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security
Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request
a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the
review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request
and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after
having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when
they may be appropriate.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general

permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit
applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit
authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before
accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being
required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an
individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other
general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and
thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including
whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without
requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6)
accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking
any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD
constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by
that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction
in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative
appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or
a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit
denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an
administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether
geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an
official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that
there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S.
on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could
be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

County: Mecklenburg
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy
of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the
impact amounts shown below.

Re Project: Hambright Road Industrial
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.
Please contact me at 919-209-1075 if you have any questions.
