September 6, 2021 Mr. Bryan Roden -Reynolds U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Charlotte Regulatory Field Office 8430 University Executive Park Drive Charlotte, NC 28262 Mr. Alan Johnson NCDEQ Division of Water Resources 610 East Center Street, Suite 301 Mooresville, NC 28115 Mr. Paul Wcjoski NCDEQ Division of Water Resources Wetlands & Storm Water Branch 512 North Salisbury Street Raleigh, NC 27604 Mr. Byron Hamstead U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Asheville Field Office 160 Zillicoa St. Asheville, NC 28801 Subject: SAW-2020-00263; Pre -Construction Notification for NWP 414 and 418 for the Symphony Park site in Huntersville, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina Messrs. Roden -Reynolds, Johnson, Wcjoski, and Hamstead, Enclosed is a request for Nationwide Permits 914 and 918 to support the development of the Symphony Park project. The Symphony Park site is located on about 36 acres at 12221 Sam Furr Road in Huntersville, NC. The proposed impacts for this site are the result the of widening of Sam Furr Road required by the Town of Huntersville, which was originally constructed in the late 1970's, and utility connections. There are no proposed impacts to the Symphony Park Development proper. The greater site is a proposed residential development and consists of five streams and four wetlands. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Request for the site was authorized in March 2020. Please refer to the Jurisdictional Determination Information section for information on onsite surface waters. Charlotte Office: www.wetlands-epg.com Asheville Office: 10612-b Providence Rd. 1070 Tunnel Rd., Bldg. I PMB 550 Suite 10, PMB 283 Charlotte, NC 28277 Asheville, NC 28805 (704)904-2277 1 len.rindner@wetlands-epg.com Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. As shown on the attached exhibits, the proposed project will include permanent impacts to one stream due to road widening requirements and temporary impacts to one stream for utility connections. Overall impacts to site surface waters associated with the proposed development were limited through site selection location, design, and the location/orientation of the proposed lots and access routes. Headwalls are proposed and, where possible, 2:1 slopes will be implemented to limit impacts to site surface waters. Total permanent impacts proposed include 112 linear feet of stream impact to Stream A. Site impacts were necessary due to City and NCDOT access requirements as well as constraints from existing sewer line infrastructure. The applicant has demonstrated substantial avoidance and minimization efforts in which 100% of the 0.645 acres of onsite wetlands and 94% of the 1,785 linear feet onsite streams will be avoided. No mitigation is proposed due to limited site impacts. Also 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 terrestrial species evaluation.

PIN: 01123104. 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 8/16/2019. 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 suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once SAW-2020-00263 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 perinit 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 (CAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at (252) 808-2808 to determine their requirements. Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Arnly permit may constitute a violation of Section 301 of tire 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 pennit may constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403).

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: SUPPORTING DATA.

Rindner, PLLC. Symphony Park - 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 pollen from flowers, nesting sites (underground and abandoned rodent cavities or clumps of grasses), and overwintering sites for hibernating queens (undisturbed soil). WEPG#00598 4 Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. Symphony Park - Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation RESULTS: The site is a former horse farm with a large horse barn centrally located, and there is a mosaic of old pastures, riding rings, and training enclosures on the uplands. The slopes and drainages are covered with secondary growth, disturbed mixed pines and hardwoods. The site is laced with old trails, dirt roads, and fence lines. There is an overhead power line along the road corridor on Hwy 73 — Sam Furr Road. An additional portion of the corridor along the northern side of Hwy 73 extending to the west was evaluated as part of the site survey. Portions of the power line and road corridor had been recently mowed at the time of the survey. The disturbed tree cover grades from being dominated by pines on the uplands, to mixed hardwoods on the slopes. Canopy species include Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda), Short -leaf Pine (P. echinata), Virginia Pine (P. virginianus), Willow Oak (Quercus phellos), White Oak (Q. alba), Southern Red Oak (Q. falcata), Sweet Gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and Red Maple (Acerrubra). Subcanopy species include Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), Sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum), Flowering Dogwood (Corpus f/orida), and American Holly (Ilex opaca). The shrub layer is dominated by Russian Olive (Elaeagnus umbellate) and Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinense). Also present are Multiflora Rose (Rosa multif/ora), and Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis). Vines include Trumpet Creeper (Campsis radicans), Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and Catbrier (Smilax sp.). Herbs include Japanese Stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), Christmas Fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), Elephant's Foot (Elephantopus tomentosus), False Nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), and Knotweed (Polygonum sp.). The abandoned pastures are dominated by pasture grasses and common weedy species including Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerate), Kentucky Bluegrass (Poa pratensis), White Clover (Trifolium repens), Sneezeweed (Helenium sp.), and Horsenettle (Solanum caroliniense). Transitional areas along the power line, fence lines, and road edges are dominated by common weedy species including Johnson Grass (Sorghum halepense), Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), Indian Hemp (Apocynum cannabinum), Broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), Goldenrod (Solidago sp.), Ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), Beggars Ticks (Desmodium sp.), Pokeweed (Phytolacca americans), Rabbit Tobacco (Gnapthalium obtusifolium), and Dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium). WEPG#00598 Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Symphony Park - Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation Threatened & Endangered/Protected Species Results • All potential habitats for Schweinitz's Sunflower along the roadsides, rights -of -way, transitional areas, and woods edges were examined, and the species was not observed. WEPG concludes Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) does not occur on the site. • All potential habitats for Smooth Coneflower along the roadsides, rights -of - way, transitional areas, and woods edges were examined, and the species was not observed. WEPG concludes Smooth Coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) does not occur on the site. • All potential habitats for Michaux's Sumac along the roadsides, rights -of - way, transitional areas, and woods edges were examined, and the species was not observed. WEPG concludes Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxii) does not occur on the site. • No habitat exists on the site for Bald Eagles, and there were no sightings nor were any nesting sites observed. WEPG concludes Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) does not occur on the site. • The on -site streams do not have the habitat characteristics required to support populations of the Carolina Heelsplitter. Based on existing documentation, Carolina Heelsplitter populations have not been identified within this basin. WEPG concludes Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) does not occur on the site. Comparing this site location to the USFWS Range Map for Rusty -patched Bumble Bee (https://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/insects/rpbb/rpbbmap.html) Mecklenburg County is in it's Historic Range, and as such, Section 7 consultation is not needed. WEPG concludes Rusty -patched Bumble Bee (Bombus affinis) does not occur on the site. • Comparing this site location to the USFWS Asheville office's website (http-//www.fws.gov/asheville/htm Is/project_review/N LE B_in_WNC. htm I) WEPG concludes the site meets the "exempt" criteria which requires no further action under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for the Northern Long-eared Bat. WEPG#00598 6 Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Symphony Park - Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation RECOMMENDATIONS: Based on the site investigation and the review of available data, 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. Respectfully submitted, Lisa R.

Signature of Permittee Date CESAW-RG (File Number, SAW-2020-00263) MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD SUBJECT: Department of the Army Memorandum Documenting General Permit Verification 1.0 Introduction and Overview Information about the proposal subject to one or more of the Corps regulatory authorities is provided in Section 1, detailed evaluation of the activity is found in Sections 2 through 4 and findings are documented in Section 5 of this memorandum. Further, summary information about the activity including the administrative history of actions taken during project evaluation is attached (ORM2 summary) and incorporated into this memorandum. NOTE: This template uses the term pre -construction notification (PCN) to identify when notification is sent to the Corps to evaluate a proposed activity on a case -by -case basis to ensure that the activity will cause no more than minimal adverse environmental effects, individually and cumulatively for verification under a general permit. While PCN is commonly associated with Nationwide Permit (NWP) verification requests, this document uses the term PCN for notification sent to the Corps for all GP verifications (i.e., NWPs, Regional General Permits, Programmatic General Permits). 1.1 Applicant name: Palillo University, LLC, Jake Palillo 1.2 Activity location: Latitude: 35.4501 Longitude:-80.8257 Location description: The review area is located on the north side of Sam Fur Road; approximately 0.4 miles southwest of the intersection of Sam Fur Road and Westmoreland Road. PIN: 01123104. Reference review area description shown in the Pre -Construction Notification entitled "Figure 1, Vicinity Map" and dated 06/30/21. 1.3 Description of activity requiring verification -This verification would authorize the permanent stream impacts of 112 linear feet (0.015 acres) along with 80 linear feet (0.011 acres) of temporary stream impacts to facilitate the roadway improvements and utility connections. Of the 112 linear feet of permanent stream impacts, 100 linear feet (0.014 acres) results in the loss of waters. All temporary stream impacts will be restored to pre-existing conditions after the completion of construction. 1.4 Existing conditions and any applicable project history: After -the -fact: No. 1.4.1 Jurisdictional Determination: Is this project supported by a Jurisdictional Determination? Yes, Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination 3/4/2020 1.5 Permit authority: Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344) CESAW-RG (File Number, SAW-2020-00263) 1.6 Applicable Permit: NWP 14. Linear Transportation Projects and NWP 18. Minor Discharges 1.7 Waiver Discussion: Does the activity require a written waiver of the NWP limits? No. Activity requires a waiver from the requirements of a regional condition(s)? No. 2.0 Evaluation of the Pre -Construction Notification 2.1 Direct and indirect effects caused by the GP activity: The direct effects of the proposed activity in waters would include the loss of jurisdictional waters (as specified in Section 1.3) and their associated aquatic resource functions. The proposed activity also has the potential to result in indirect effects to waters including excess sedimentation in downstream waters, disruption and/or killing of aquatic life in the direct vicinity of the project area, increase of downstream flows, and blocking/restricting aquatic life passage transiting in and through the project area. These indirect effects are expected to be minimal due to design criteria and Best Management Practices (BMPs) required by Nationwide Permit General and Regional Conditions. Additionally, indirect effects would be further reduced through the implementation of BMPs required by state, local, and Federal ordinances and regulations. 2.2 Site specific factors: The review area is a former horse farm and there is a mosaic of old pastures, riding rings, and training enclosures on the uplands. Slopes and drainages are covered with secondary growth and mixed pines and hardwoods. 2.3 Coordination 2.3.1 Interagency Coordination Was the PCN coordinated with other agencies? Yes. Agency coordination with the USFWS is required for the Northern Long Eared Bat. However, the Corps is not required to wait for a response from the USFWS Asheville Office in accordance with local procedures. 2.3.2 Corps internal coordination Was the PCN coordinated with other Corps business lines? No. 3.0 Mitigation 3.1 Avoidance and minimization CESAW-RG (File Number, SAW-2020-00263) Provide brief description of how the activity has been designed on -site to avoid and minimize adverse effects, both temporary and permanent, to waters of the United States to the maximum extent practicable at the project site: The applicant provided a detailed statement describing their efforts to avoid and minimized impacts to waters of the United States on the project site in the preconstruction notification. Based on this information, the Corps believes the applicant has avoid and minimized impacts to waters of the United State to the maximum extent practicable. Describe other mitigative actions including project modifications implemented to minimize adverse project impacts? (see 33 CFR 320.4(r)(1)(i)) Impacts associated with the proposed development were limited through site selection, design, and location/orientation of the proposed lots and access routes. To provide adequate access and utilities to the site, Sam Furr Road will be widened and graded per NCDOT requirements to accommodate turn lanes. 3.2 Compensatory mitigation requirement Is compensatory mitigation required for unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional aquatic resources to reduce the individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects to a minimal level? No. Provide rationale: No compensatory mitigation is required because the applicant has minimized impacts and the loss of stream channel associated with the activity is less than 0.03 acres. There are no specific circumstances that would warrant compensatory mitigation. 4.0 Compliance with Other Laws, Policies and Requirements 4.1 Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) 4.1.1 ESA action area: The action area includes the waters of the United States that will be directly affected by the proposed work or structures and uplands directly affected as a result of authorizing the work or structures. 4.1.2 Lead federal agency for Section 7 of the ESA Has another federal agency taken steps to document compliance with Section 7 of the ESA and completed consultation(s) as required? No. 4.1.3 Listed/proposed species and/or designated/proposed critical habitat CESAW-RG (File Number, SAW-2020-00263) Are there listed or proposed species or designated critical habitat or proposed critical habitat that may be present or in the vicinity of the Corps' action area? No. The Corps has determined that it has fulfilled its responsibilities under Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA. IPAC Species in Mecklenburg County: NAME: Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) STATUS: Threatened NAME: Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) STATUS: Endangered NAME: Rusty -patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) STATUS: Endangered NAME: Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii) STATUS: Endangered NAME: Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) STATUS: Endangered NAME: Smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) STATUS: Endangered Effect determination (s), including no effect, for all known species/habitat, and basis for determination(s): Based on the latest version of the Natural Heritage Program's NHEO data, there are no protected species located within or in the vicinity of the action area. In addition, on August 18, 2021, the Corps consulted the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program database for the presence/absence of federally -listed species; therefore, the proposed project would have no effect on any of the federally -listed species in Mecklenburg County. 4.1.4 Section 7 ESA consultation \ Consultation with either the National Marine Fisheries Service and/or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was initiated and completed as required, for any determinations other than "no effect" (see the attached "Summary" sheet for begin date, end date and closure method of the consultation). The USACE reviewed this project in accordance with (IAW) the NLEB Standard Local Operating Procedures for Endangered Species (SLOPES) between the USACE, Wilmington District, and the Asheville and Raleigh U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) Offices, and determined that the action area for this project is located outside of the highlighted areas/red 12-digit HUCs and activities in the action area do not require prohibited incidental take; as such, this project meets the criteria for the 4(d) rule and any associated take is exempted/excepted. IAW the NLEB SLOPES, the USACE sent a Situation 1 email to the Service on August 18, 2021, informing them about this project. Service Concurrence: as established in the NLEB SLOPES, this project does not require prohibited intentional take of the NLEB and it meets the criteria for the 4(d) rule; therefore any associated take is exempt and it is not necessary for the USACE to wait 30 days for the Service to object or concur. Based on a review of the information above, the Corps has determined that it has fulfilled its responsibilities under Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA. CESAW-RG (File Number, SAW-2020-00263) 4.2 Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) The NWPs/RGPs were coordinated with the NMFS during the permit renewal process. NMFS coordination/EFH consultation is required if the activity affects SAV. This activity does not affect SAV. Therefore, NMFS coordination/EFH consultation has been completed. 4.2.1 Lead federal agency for EFH provisions of the Magnuson -Stevens Act Has another federal agency taken steps to comply with EFH provisions of Magnuson - Stevens Act with the Corps designated as a cooperating agency and has that consultation been completed? No. 4.2.2 Magnuson -Stevens Act Did the proposed project require review under the Magnuson -Stevens Act? No. If "yes," state that the district engineer determined the proposed activity may adversely affect EFH and thus requires EFH consultation with NMFS. 4.3 Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106) 4.3.1 Section 106 permit area The permit area includes those areas comprising waters of the United States that will be directly affected by the proposed work or structures, as well as activities outside of waters of the U.S. because all three tests identified in 33 CFR 325, Appendix C(g)(1) have been met. Final description of the permit area: All three test have been met and portions of the larger project undertaken outside of waters of the U.S. are in the permit area. Activities undertaken outside WOUS are included in the permit area because those activities are directly associated and integrally related with the authorized work and those activities would not occur but for the authorization of the work within the WOUS. 4.3.1 Lead federal agency for Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act Has another federal agency been identified as the lead federal agency for complying with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act with the Corps designated as a cooperating agency and has that consultation been completed?
