Dear Messrs. Roden -Reynolds, Johnson, Hamstead, and Wojoski, Enclosed is a request for a Nationwide Permit #29, 39, 58, and a request for Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination for the — 126-acre Westrow Phase 1 project to be located west of 1 485, west and southeast of Dixie River Road, in Charlotte, INC. The site is a proposed multi use development with mixed use residential/commercial, and community farm consisting of 6 streams totaling approximately 3144 linear feet and 1 wetland totaling 0.016 acres within the project area. Charlotte Office: 10612-D Providence Rd. PMB 550 Charlotte, NC 28277 (704)904-2277 len.rindner@wetlands-epg.com www,wetl an ds-epg. co m 1 Asheville Office: 1070 Tunnel Rd., Bldg. I Suite 10, PMB 283 Asheville. NC 28805 Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Due to the locations of the onsite aquatic features, complete avoidance of impacts was not practicable. Impacts to site surface waters associated with the proposed development were limited through site selection location, design, and location of the road crossing along the stream valleys. Proposed permanent loss to jurisdictional waters associated with this project will be approximately 193 linear feet (0.0345 acres) of perennial stream for a culverted road crossing. The temporary and permanent impact of the proposed Westrow Avenue Culvert provides access to the residential development Preserve East and the proposed pump station as well as act as the required route for water services to the pump station and as the route for the sewer force main which transports the pump station discharge to the proposed gravity sewer in Dixie River Road. The temporary impacts of the proposed utilities that service this area include gravity sewer, which crosses Perennial Stream EE as it drains to the pump station and Beaverdam Creek as it discharges into the recently constructed trunk sewer. The RES Catawba Dogtown Mitigation Bank has accepted our request for 193 linear feet of compensatory mitigation. The acceptance letter is included in this submittal. Enclosed is a copy of our Threatened/Endangered Species Evaluation for the site. No listed species were identified within the project area and we believe that there will be no effect on listed species or their critical habitat as designated under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. Please refer to the Threatened and Endangered Species Evaluation Section for additional details on the Threatened and Endangered Species survey. Also enclosed is a copy of the Cultural Resources Evaluation report for the site. Results of the study shows that it appears that survey of the current project area would probably result in the detection of no new major cultural resources. This is because: 1) there is a high percentage of overlap between the current project area and previous cultural resources study areas; 2) only one minor cultural resource was found in the current project area during previous survey efforts; and 3) much of the unsurveyed land in the current project area includes areas poorly suited for most types of human occupation/use. We appreciate the opportunity to provide this information. Please contact me at 828-699-3697 or ieff.levi@wetlands-epg.com if you have any questions.

JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One) ❑✓ I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property. PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is "preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do not expire. ❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years (subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05- 02). ❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information to inform my decision.

Further, an AID, 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 AID 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: SUPPORTING DATA.

Rindner, PLLC. Westrow Phase I — Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation SPECIES DESCRIPTIONS: Three plant species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in Mecklenburg 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). • Smooth Coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), listed as Federally Endangered, is typically found in open woods, cedar barrens, roadsides, clear cuts, dry limestone bluffs and power line rights -of -way, requiring abundant sunlight and little competition from other plant species. • Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxii), listed as Federally Endangered, requires habitat of sandy forests and woodland edges. This species requires periodic fire as a part of its ecology. Four animal species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in Mecklenburg 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. • Rusty -patched Bumble Bee (Bombus affinis), listed as Federally Endangered, live in colonies that include a single queen and female workers. Rusty -patched Bumble Bees historically occupied grasslands and tallgrass prairies. Bumble bees need areas that provide nectar and WEPG Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group 0 Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. Westrow Phase I — Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation pollen from flowers, nesting sites (underground and abandoned rodent cavities or clumps of grasses), and overwintering sites for hibernating queens (undisturbed soil). RESULTS: The site is comprised primarily of pine dominated mixed forest with smaller areas of pine plantation, mesic mixed hardwood forest, piedmont alluvial forest, and open areas including roadsides and several powerline right-of-ways. Most of the understory of the site is dominated by invasive Elaeagnus umbellate (autumn olive). The pine dominated mixed forest resembles a disturbed oak hickory/mesic forest in composition with loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) dominating the canopy and a reduced diversity due to a dense coverage of pine needles and autumn olive. The canopy supports loblolly pine, Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana), yellow poplar (Liriodenron tulipifera), sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red oak (Quercus rubra), white oak (Q. alba), southern red oak (Q. falcata), oak (Quercus spp.), hickory (Carya spp.), and elm (Ulmus sp.). The subcanopy includes American beech (Fagus grandifolia), red mulberry (Morus rubra), sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum), eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), winged elm (Ulmus alata), black cherry (Prunus serotina), and transgressives. Shrubs include dense areas of autumn olive with fewer individuals of Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense). Vines include Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and greenbriar (Smilax sp.). The sparse herb layer supports ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron), and cranefly orchid (Tipularia discolor). The mixed mesic hardwood forest communities are located on middle and lower slopes along stream valleys. The canopy includes American beech, red oak, hickory, yellow poplar, sweetgum, red maple, and short leaf pine (Pinus echinata). The subcanopy supports hickory and American beech. Shrubs include dense areas autumn olive and Chinese privet. Vines include Japanese honeysuckle and greenbrier. The sparse herb layer includes pipsissewa, Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), and heartleaf (Hexastylis arifolia). The pine plantation communities have an extremely low species diversity due to management as a monoculture, and the result of a thick bed of pine needles covering the forest floor below a dense shrub layer of autumn olive. The canopy supports loblolly pine, Virginia pine, yellow poplar, and sweet gum. Shrubs include dense areas of autumn olive with fewer individuals of Chinese privet. Vines include Japanese honeysuckle, and greenbriar. The sparse herb layer supports ebony spleenwort, and cranefly orchid. The piedmont alluvial forest is located along stream valleys throughout the site. The canopy supports American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), green ash WEPG 5 Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. Westrow Phase I — Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), red maple, sweet gum, elm, willow oak (Quercus phellos), and yellow poplar. The subcanopy supports sourwood (Oxydendrum arborea), black cherry (Prunus serotina), winged elm (U/mus a/ata), hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), American holly, and transgressives. Shrubs include silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), tag alder (Alnus serrulata), paw paw (Asimina triloba), multiflora rose (Rosa multif/ora), giant cane, dense areas of autumn olive, and Chinese privet. Vines include Japanese honeysuckle, trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), and cross vine (Bignonia capreolata). Herbs include Japanese stilt grass, tearthumb (Persicaria sagittata), river oats (Chasmanthium latifolium), jewelweed (Impatiens sp.), primrose willow (Ludwigia sp.), grape fern (Botrychium sp.), sensitive fern (Onoc/ea sensibilis), and netted chain fern (Woodwardia areolata). The open areas represented by powerline right-of-ways and roadside edges do not have a traditional canopy as they are managed to avoid large woody species. The often stunted subcanopy includes loblolly pine, Virginia pine, sweet gum, eastern red cedar, winged elm, yellow poplar, persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), and tree of heaven (Ailanthus a/tissima).

Threatened & Endangered/Protected Species Results • All potential habitats for Schweinitz's sunflower, smooth coneflower, and Michaux's sumac along woodland edges, roadside edges, and powerline right-of-ways were closely examined. No individuals of Schweinitz's sunflower, smooth coneflower, or Michaux's sumac were observed. WEPG Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. Westrow Phase I — Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation • There is no suitable habitat for bald eagles in the project area. No bald eagles were sighted during the survey nor were any nests or nesting activity observed. • Streams on site do not appear to have the habitat characteristics required to support populations of the Carolina heelsplitter, and they have not been reported to occur in this portion of the watershed. No mussels 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/htmis/project review/NLEB in WNC.html) it appears that the site meets the `exempt' criteria which requires no further action under section 7 or section 9 of the Endangered Species Act for the northern long eared bat. • Comparing this site location to the USFWS Range Map for Rusty -patched Bumble Bee (https://www.fws.gov/m idwest/endangered/insects/rpbb/rpbbmap. htm I) Mecklenburg County is in its Historic Range, and as such, Section 7 consultation is not needed. WEPG concludes that Rusty -patched Bumble Bee is not present. 7 Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. Westrow Phase I — Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation RECOMMENDATIONS: Based on the results of the field evaluation the review of available data, we see no potential for a `Take' to occur to any of the protected species discussed within this report. 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.

Webb & Associates No. 21-649-149 Dear Mr. Levi: Pursuant to your request, this letter briefly summarizes previous cultural resources study findings in the vicinity of the Westrow Phase 1 development tract and infrastructure corridors in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The development tract and associated infrastructure corridors are hereafter referred to as the "project area". This correspondence also evaluates the need for a cultural resources field survey of the project area, given the magnitude of previous cultural resources work conducted in the study vicinity. Figure 1 shows the various cultural resources studies conducted in the project area vicinity. Previous studies have been performed by Bamann et al. (2004), Bradley (2009), Hargrove (1984) and Webb (2016). The Webb study was a reconnaissance -level investigation, while the other three projects were Phase I -level surveys. The current project area covers approximately 120 acres, nearly 100 acres of which were covered by previous cultural resources studies; one cultural resource was identified in the current project area during these studies. This resource, Isolated Rock Pile No. 1 (IP-1; Figure 1), was recorded during the Webb (2016) field reconnaissance and was recommended ineligible for the National Register of Historic Places. There is always the possibility that cultural resources may be present within any study tract. However, it appears that survey of the current project area would probably result in the detection of no new major cultural resources. This is because: 1) there is a high percentage of overlap between the current project area and previous cultural resources study areas; 2) only one minor cultural resource was found in the current project area during previous survey efforts; and 3) much of the unsurveyed land in the current project area includes areas poorly suited for most types of human occupation/use. Summary of Previous Surveys and Assessment of Need for Additional Work, Westrow Phase I Project Page 2 August 9, 2021 Mr. Levi, we appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this project.
