4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
The Site is located approximately 0.3-mile northwest of the Wesley Chapel Road and Hawfield Road intersection in Wesley Chapel, Union County, NC. The Site is comprised of several
recombined parcels. The majority of the land within the proposed phases 11-14 remains forested with hardwoods and interspersed pines in the north and western section.
The proposed phases 11-14 that the requested impact will access were not part of the Heritage Subdivision at the time of the previously permitted impact (SAW-2017-01272). An
overhead utility easement runs along the eastern edge of the proposed phases 11-14 which was previously the western boundary of the Heritage Subdivision. Existing sewer easements
run through the property as well.
Surrounding land is residential or forested/agriculture.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
r Yes r No r Unknown
If yes, please give the DWR Certification number or the Corps Action ID (exp. SAW-0000-00000).

0.01 acres
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
7,452 linear feet
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to construct Phases 11-14 of the Heritage Subdivision to provide additional housing to meet the demand in this area. Specifically, the proposed project
involves a single-family residential development including associated driveways, access roads, community amenities, greenways, and stormwater control measures.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Proposed phases 11-14 will consist of 5 roadway sections, approximately 128 single-family residential lots, stormwater control devices, and utilities (water, wastewater, electrical, etc.)
typically required for a residential subdivision.
Roads and lots were positioned to reduce and/or avoid impacts to streams and wetlands on the Site. The proposed road crossing was designed to cross perpendicular to the
jurisdictional stream feature. There are 7,452 linear feet of stream onsite, of which only 61 linear feet will be permanently impacted. Riprap used to dissipate high flow energy will be
placed in the stream below the culvert and will be keyed into the soil so as not to extend above the existing ground (bed and bank) elevation. No wetland impacts are proposed. Heavy
equipment typically used for road construction and land clearing will be utilized for this project.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?*
r Yes r No r Unknown
Comments:
5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made?*

Road crossing includes 55 linear feet of permanent, no -loss impact resulting from the placement of riprap below the culvert. The riprap vdll be keyed
into the eAsting soil surface to result in a permanent impact but not a loss of stream or function, which usually does not require mitigation.
Additional, an area 10 feet above and 10 feet below (20 feet total) the proposed crossing will temporarily be impacted for dewatering during
construction.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
There are 7,452 linear feet of stream onsite, of which only 61 linear feet will be permanently impacted. No wetland impacts are proposed. The
proposed phases 11-14 proposed only one road crossing and avoided general lot fill in wetlands and streams. Utilities will be within the proposed road
footprint and/or will tie into epsting easements to further avoid additional impacts.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Construction fencing will be used to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. The Project will be phased so as to
prevent large areas of land disturbance that could contribute to sediment runoff into the streams and wetlands.

On behalf of David Goracke and VK Heritage, LLC (applicant), please find attached a complete application and
supplemental information requesting written concurrence from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) that
the activities associated with the proposed development of the Heritage 2021 (Project) may proceed under
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 29 and General Certification 4256 (GC 4256).
Protect Purpose and Location
The proposed project involves a single-family residential development including associated driveways, access
roads, community amenities, greenways, and stormwater control measures. The +/-105.07-acre tract is located
at 0 Hawfield Road, within the Town of Indian Trail and Village of Wesley Chapel, in Union County, The
coordinates of 35.0342,-80.6772 generally correspond to the center of the Site.
Protect Detail
The proposed Project consists of the construction of a single-family residential development with associated
driveways,roads and utilities. Municipal water and sewer are available to the site.
Access to the Site will be from the existing Wesley Chapel Road. Heavy equipment typically used for utility
installation projects (e.g. backhoes, bulldozers, etc.) will be utilized.
No federally threatened or endangered species are listed to occur within 1 mile of the Project according to the
NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) Database (see attached report dated August 6, 2020).
The Site itself is not listed as a historic property. There are two historic properties located within 1.0 mile of the
Site based on a query of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (NCSHPO) database. One is listed
as "Surveyed Only", and the other is listed as "Surveyed Only - Gone". Figure 4 depicts the locations of these
properties in relation to the Site. NCSHPO may have comments during the permitting process but their comments
should not prohibit the proposed activities on the Site.
Project History
The site is primarily undeveloped and mostly wooded. Surrounding areas are rural with a mix of farmland and
undeveloped wooded areas. Mr. David Gainey of Sage Ecological Services, Inc., performed a wetland and
stream delineation.PJD request materials are attached to this application.
Avoidance and Minimization
Heritage Page 1 of 2

There are 7,452 linear feet of stream onsite, of which only 61 linear feet will be permanently impacted. No wetland
impacts are proposed. The proposed phases 11-14 proposed only one road crossing and avoided general lot fill
in wetlands and streams. Utilities will be within the proposed road footprint and/or will tie into existing easements
to further avoid additional impacts.Construction fencing will be used to define the construction corridor and
prevent any accidental additional impacts. The Project will be phased so as to prevent large areas of
land disturbance that could contribute to sediment runoff into the streams and wetlands.
Project Impacts
All onsite wetlands have been avoided, permanent mitigable stream impacts total 61 linear feet of perennial
stream. No other impacts are proposed.
Mitigation
Permanent perennial stream impacts of 61 linear feet are proposed to be mitigated at a 2:1 ratio.

RE: Heritage Subdivision phases 11-14; 2017.04
Dear Sean Clark:
D. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Walter Clark
Director, Division of Land and Water Stewardship
NCNHDE-15441
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one -mile
radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory_/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund
easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butlerCo)ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

Section 404

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 (NWT) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NAT 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 NWT 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. Data reviewed for PJD (check all that apply)
Checked items should be included in subject file. Appropriately reference sources below where
indicated for all checked items:

National Wetlands Inventory
Wetlands are an important source of biodiversity and provide a multitude of ecological services. The
National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), created by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is a program which
provides wetland data and analysis to the public. A review of the NWI GIS layer depicts multiple
potential wetland features within the project limits (Figure 5, attached).
Jurisdictional Delineation
On September 22, 2015, CWS scientists Erin Bradshaw Settevendemio, Wetland Professional in Training
(WPIT) and Aliisa Harjuniemi, WPIT, delineated (flagged in the field) jurisdictional waters of the U.S.
within the project area. Jurisdictional areas were delineated (flagged in the field), classified, and mapped
with a sub -foot Trimble Geo7X GPS unit using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Routine
On -Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Delineation
Manual,5 the 2007 USACE Jurisdictional Form Instructional Guidebook,' with further technical guidance
from the 2012 Eastern Mountains & Piedmont Regional Supplement.'
Jurisdictional stream channels were classified according to the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) guidance. These classifications include sampling with a D-shaped dip
net, photograph documentation, and defining approximate breakpoints (location at which stream channel
changes classification) within each on -site stream channel. NCDEQ Stream Classification Forms
representative of jurisdictional stream channels are attached (SCP1-SCP6). Wetland Determination Data
Forms representative of on -site jurisdictional wetland areas are attached as DPI and DP3. Wetland
Determination Data Forms representative of on -site non jurisdictional upland areas are attached as DP2
and DP4. Locations of the stream classification points and the Wetland Determination Data Forms are
depicted on Figures 6-9 (attached).

Results
Based on the results of this field investigation, there are ten jurisdictional waters of the U.S. located
within the project boundary (Figure 6, attached). These waters consist of six jurisdictional stream
channels (Streams A-F) and four jurisdictional wetlands (Wetland AA-DD). The on -site jurisdictional
waters include Davis Mine Creek, Price Mill Creek, and unnamed tributaries (UT's) to the
aforementioned creeks. Davis Mine Creek and Price Mill Creek are part of the Santee River Basin (HUC
03050103) and are classified as "Class C Waters" by the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (NCDEQ). According to the NCDEQ, Class C Waters are defined as: "Waters protected for uses
such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation,
survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture."'
On -Site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. total approximately 2.01 acres, including 9,680 linear feet of
jurisdictional stream channel. On -Site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are summarized in Table 1.

s NCDEQ. "Surface Water Classifications." http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ps/csu/classifications.
Classifications of streams include Traditionally Navigable Waters (TNWs), Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs), and Non -Relatively
Permanent Waters (Non-RPWs). Subcategories of RPWs include perennial streams that typically have year-round flow, and seasonal streams
that have continuous flow at least seasonally. Two classifications of jurisdictional wetlands are used to describe proximity and connection to
TNWs. These classifications include either adjacent or directly abutting. Adjacent wetlands are defined as wetlands within floodplains or in
close proximity to a TNW but without a direct visible connection. Abutting wetlands have a direct surface water connection traceable to a
TNW.

Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs)
RPWs are streams that have year-round flow in normal conditions. RPWs generally have greater
biological resources than seasonal streams and are capable of supporting resources requiring constant
flow for reproductive and maturation stages. The results of the on -site field investigation conducted by
CWS indicate that there are three RPWs (Streams A - C) located within the project area (Figures 6-9,
attached).
RPW Stream A (Price Mill Creek) originates off site at the northeastern project boundary and flows south
for approximately 4,800 linear feet until continuing off site (Figure 6, attached). RPW Stream B (Davis
Mine Creek) originates off site in the northwestern portion of the property and flows southeast for
approximately 2,095 linear feet until its confluence with Stream A. RPW Stream C originates off site in
the northwestern portion of the property and flows south-southeast for approximately 557 linear feet until
its confluence with Stream B.
RPW Streams A-C exhibit strong continuity of bed and bank, strong baseflow, moderate to strong
presence of depositional bars and benches, moderate sinuosity of channel, and a weak to moderate
presence of iron oxidizing bacteria. NCDEQ Stream Classification Forms (SCP1-SCP3) are
representative of RPW Streams A-C, respectively. Photographs A-C (attached) are representative of
RPW Streams A-C, respectively.
Seasonal Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs)
Seasonal RPWs are those that exhibit continuous flow for at least three consecutive months per year on a
seasonal basis. This flow regime is the result of a lowering of the water table during dry periods that
prevents ground water discharge to the stream channel. Seasonal streams do not typically support aquatic
life requiring year-round flow necessary for reproductive and maturation stages. The results of the on -site
field investigation conducted by CWS indicate that there are three Seasonal RPWs (Streams D - F)
located within the project area (Figures 6-9, attached).
Seasonal RPW Stream D originates on -site in the northeastern portion of the property and flows northwest
for approximately 99 linear feet until its confluence with RPW Stream A. Seasonal RPW Stream E
originates on -site in the southeastern portion of the property and flows west for approximately 444 linear
feet until tapering off in the floodplain of RPW Stream A (Price Mill Creek). Seasonal RPW Stream F
originates off site in the eastern portion of the property and flows southwest for approximately 1,685
linear feet until its confluence with RPW Stream B.
Streams D-F exhibit moderate bed and bank, weak to moderate sinuosity of channel, absent to weak
baseflow, an absence of iron oxidizing bacteria, and an absence of crayfish. NCDEQ Stream
Classification Forms (SCP4-SCP6) are representative of Seasonal RPW Streams D-F, respectively.
Photographs D-F are representative of Seasonal RPW Streams D-F, respectively.
Wetlands
The USACE and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) define wetlands as: "Those areas that are
inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and
that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in
Page 4 of 6

Hawfield Project September 16, 2016
Jurisdictional Delineation Report CWS Project No. 20164113
saturated soil conditions."`O The USACE uses three parameters to identify jurisdictional wetlands. These
parameters are as follows: 1) hydrophytic vegetation, 2) wetland hydrology, and 3) hydric soils. Except
in certain atypical situations, all three parameters must be present in order for an area to be determined to
be a jurisdictional wetland. The results of the on -site field investigation conducted by CWS indicate that
there are four jurisdictional wetland areas.
Wetlands AA and BB are classified as herbaceous wetlands (PEM)" and Wetlands CC and DD are
classified as forested wetlands (PFO1)12. Figures 6-9 (attached) depict the locations of these wetlands.
Wetlands AA-DD exhibit low chroma soils, oxidized rhizospheres, and saturation to the surface.
Dominant vegetation for Wetlands AA and BB includes smartweed (Polygonum persicaria), marsh
dayflower (Murdannia keisak), false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), and Nepalese browntop. Dominant
vegetation for Wetlands CC and DD includes sweetgum, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica.), boxelder
(Ater negundo), and ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana). Photographs G- J (attached) are representative of
Wetlands AA-DD, respectively. Wetland Determinations Data Forms representative of Wetlands AA and
BB (DPI) and Wetland CC and DD (DP2) are attached.

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 7D (AID) for that review area based on an informed decision after having
discussed the various types of 7Ds 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 AID 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 AID before accepting the terms and
conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AID 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 AID 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 AID or a PJD, the 7D will be processed as soon as practicable.
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

The issues listed below must be addressed before NCFMP can continue the review of your request.
1. The following comments are in regard to compliance with the Endangered Species Act:
a. The submitted documentation does not indicate what the Federal Action will be for the
project. Please provide an explanation of the Federal Action that is anticipated (e.g.
federal construction, funding, or permitting). If the proposed construction requires a
federal permit, such as a Section 404 permit from the Army Corps of Engineers, provide
the status of this application.
b. The Threatened and Endangered Species Survey Report does not include supporting
documentation of concurrence by a Federal Agency. The Federal Agency concurrence
will be needed for FEMA approval of the CLOMR.
2. The proposed Plan and Profile sheet (labeled "C5.08") includes the PE seal, but the seal is not
dated and signed, nor does it have an appropriate notation. Please modify the plans to confirm
with the appropriate requirements from the following list as found in the NC Administrative Code
in 21 NCAC 56.1103(c):
i. "Preliminary — Do not use for construction"
ii. "Progress Drawings — Do not use for construction"
in. "Preliminary Plat — Not for recordation, conveyances, or sales"
iv. "Final Drawing — Not release for construction"
v. "Final Drawing — For Review Purposes Only"
vi. "Not a Certified Document — This document originally issued and sealed by
(name of licensee), (license number), on (date of sealing). This document shall
not be considered a certified document"
vii. "Not a Certified Document as to the Original Document but Only as to Revisions
— This document originally issued and sealed by (name of licensee), (license
number), on (date of sealing). This document is only certified as to the revisions"
The following comments are in regard to the hydraulic modeling:
a. In the Proposed Conditions model, the inverts for the culverts in HEC-RAS match the
inverts shown INV IN and IN OUT on C5.08, however there is an additional INV shown
for each culvert that differs from the inverts for the culverts in HEC-RAS. Please clarify
how the inverts shown on C5.08 relate to the HEC-RAS model.
b. In the Proposed Conditions model the top of road elevation for the proposed culvert is
604-ft at all locations. C5.08 shows the top of road sloping upward from the culvert

location at 5.46% and 4.34%. Also, the low point of the road shown on C5.08 is 604.07-
ft, which differs slightly from the value used in HEC-RAS.
The Manning's n for the Bottom of Culvert 91 in the Proposed Conditions Plan is 0.035
in the HEC-RAS model. The Manning's n value for the channel upstream and
downstream of the proposed crossing is 0.048. Please clarify if native material will be
used in the culvert bottom and whether the Manning's n value should be based on that
material.
Please send the required data directly to the address shown below or coordinate digital delivery of the data.
For identification purposes, please include the case number referenced above on all correspondence.

INTRODUCTION
Sage Ecological Services, Inc. (Sage) completed afield survey for federally listed threatened & endangered
species habitat on the +/-127-acre Heritage Property (Site). The Site is located approximately 0.3-mile
northwest of the Wesley Chapel Road and Hawfield Road intersection in Wesley Chapel, Union County,
NC. Three threatened and endangered (T&E) species are listed in Union County by the United States Fish
& Wildlife Service (USFWS) (Table 1).

SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Site is comprised of several recombined parcels. The majority of the Site remains forested with
hardwoods and interspersed pines in the north and western section. An overhead utility easement runs
along the eastern edge of the evaluated area. Existing sewer easements extend along the southern and
eastern portions of the evaluated area.
The proposed project involves a single-family residential development including associated driveways,
access roads, community amenities, greenways, stormwater control measures and other utilities. Access
to the Site will be from the existing Wesley Chapel Road through the existing Heritage subdivision located
to the east.
THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES EVALUATION METHODOLOGY
Prior to completing the field survey, Sage biologists reviewed the USFWS current county list of Threatened
and Endangered species. The survey windows for the target species was referenced to establish the
appropriate field survey date. Due to project timeline constraints, it was impractical to wait for the
flowering period to conduct the initial survey.
A review of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's (NCNHP) GIS database was conducted
concurrently with the initiation of project fieldwork. This database review included a 1.0-mile radius
search of the most recent GIS NCNHP Elemental Occurrence records (Appendix C).
Heritage Subdivision 1 Sage Ecological Services, Inc.

As a precursor to the fieldwork, a desktop GIS assessment of the Site area was conducted using 2019 leaf -
off aerial imagery and the most recent soils data. The purpose of this desktop assessment was to locate
preferred potential habitat areas for Michaux's sumac and Schweinitz's sunflower.
Prior to arriving on the Site, Sage biologists reviewed various botanical sources to refresh familiarity with
the species appearance and habitat at the survey time of year. Pictures of the species, botanical
descriptions, and keys were reviewed and printed for use in the field survey. Site visits to nearby known
occurrences of Michaux's sumac and Schweinitz's sunflower were conducted to determine the current
development stage of these species.
On May 7, 2020, Sage biologists walked transects and conducted a plant by plant survey of the evaluation
area within the locations most closely resembling preferred habitat on the Site. The evaluation area
includes proposed impact areas within the floodplain of Prince Mill Creek. Within the species survey area,
particular attention was given to areas that met many elements of the habitat descriptions and/or where
known associate species were observed. Only the habitat for the Carolina heelsplitter was reviewed (i.e.
a species survey was not conducted). Items brought along for use during the field survey included printed
pictures of the species, botanical reference books including keys, camera, tape measure, 10x hand lens,
field notebook, aerial maps, and survey flagging.
CAROLINA HEELSPLITTER
SPECIES AND HABITAT DESCRIPTION
The Carolina heelsplitter is a freshwater mussel with an ovate, trapezoid -shaped shell reaching a length
up to 118 mm. The shell is greenish brown to dark brown in color, and juveniles may have shells with faint
greenish brown or black rays. The nacre (inside surface) varies from iridescent white to a mottled pale
orange. The dorsal margin is straight and may end with a slight wing. Carolina heelsplitter was listed as
'Endangered' in 1993 by the USFWS. The USFWS optimal survey window is year-round.
Because it is a filter -feeder, the Carolina heelsplitter requires cool, clean, well -oxygenated water. Stream
bottoms with stable, silt -free substrate appear to be critical to the species. Streambanks should be well -
vegetated to reduce sediment and erosion, and the watershed should exhibit a high percentage of
forested land.
Heritage Subdivision 2 Sage Ecological Services, Inc.

SURVEY RESULTS
Prince Mill Creek flows from north to south through the Site. Known populations of Carolina heelsplitter
in the Catawba River Basin in North Carolina are approximately 32 river miles and 20 straight line miles
south of the Site in Waxhaw Creek.
The majority of the streamside has a mature canopy of trees that provide adequate shading for the
stream. The substrate in Prince Mill Creek includes silt, sand, gravel, and cobble. At the time of the field
survey, the stream was very turbid. Due to lack of suitable habitat and lack of known nearby
occurrences, the development of the Site should have No Effect on Carolina heelsplitter.
MICHAUX'S SUMAC
SPECIES AND HABITAT DESCRIPTION
Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy shrub with erect stems from 1 — 3 feet in height. The
compound leaves contain 9-13 evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate leaflets. The leaflets are
densely pubescent, and the leaf rachis is frequently winged between the terminal leaflets. The stems are
densely long pubescent. The flowers are small, borne in a terminal, erect, dense cluster, and colored
greenish yellow to white. Flowering usually occurs from June to July; while the fruit, a red drupe, is
produced through the months of August to October. Michaux's sumac was listed as 'Endangered' in 1989
by the USFWS. The USFWS optimal survey window is from May to October.
In the piedmont, Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with soils derived
from mafic rocks. The plant survives best in areas where some form of disturbance has provided an open
area. Several populations in North Carolina are on highway rights -of -way, roadsides, or on the edges of
artificially maintained clearings. Common associates of Michaux's sumac include other sumac species,
Johnson grass, winged elm, mockernut hickory, loblolly pine, longleaf pine, water oak, white oak, blackjack
oak, sweet gum, sassafras, persimmon, chickasaw plum, and black cherry.
SURVEY RESULTS
One known occurrence of Michaux's sumac is within 1.0-mile of the Site based on the NCNHP database
search. However, potential habitat for Michaux's sumac does not exist within the Site. Although there are
sufficiently cleared and disturbed areas along the sewer line easements and powerline easement, soils in
these areas include Chewacla silt loam (pH 4.5 — 7.8), Goldston very channery silt loam (pH 3.5 — 5.5), and
Heritage Subdivision 3 Sage Ecological Services, Inc.

Badin channery silty clay loam (pH 3.5 — 5.5). No individuals were observed on the Site during the field
survey. The development of the Site should have No Effect on Michaux's sumac.
SCHWEINITZ'S SUNFLOWER
SPECIES AND HABITAT DESCRIPTION
Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial that grows to a height of 6.5 feet tall or higher. The stem is purple,
and the upper third bears secondary branches at 45-degree angles. The leaves are arranged in pairs on
the lower part of the stem but usually occur singly on the upper part. Leaves grow out of the stem at right
angles, and the tips of the leaves tend to droop. The leaves are thick and stiff, with a rough upper surface
of spiny hairs and soft white hairs on the underside. Small yellow flowers bloom from late August until
frost. Schweinitz's sunflower was listed as'Endangered' in 1999 by the USFWS. The USFWS optimal survey
window is from late August to October.
Schweinitz's sunflower prefers full to partial sun in areas with poor soils such as thin clays. It is commonly
found along roadsides, powerline clearings, old pastures, and woodland openings. Associate species
include bluestem, trumpet -creeper, slender spikegrass, golden -aster, thistle, wild carrot, dog fennel,
striped gentian, bush clover, lobelia, wild quinine, other sunflower species, mimosa, red cedar, flowering
dogwood, and sweetgum.
SURVEY RESULTS
Limited potential habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower does exist within the Site. Cleared areas along the
sewer line easement and powerline easement provide suitable sunlight. Individuals at nearby reference
locations were approximately 8-12 inches tall and distinguishable from other sunflower species through
a combination of purple stem color and leaf morphology. No known occurrences of Schweinitz's sunflower
are within 1.0-mile of the Site based on the NCNHP database search. No individuals were observed on the
Site during the field survey. The development of the Site should have No Effect on Schweinitz's sunflower.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Sage biologists completed a survey on the Heritage Property for federally threatened and endangered
species listed for Union County. The Site was traversed on foot to locate potential habitat and individuals.
Preferred suitable habitat is not present for Michaux's sumac and Carolina heelsplitter. Potential habitat
is present for Schweinitz's sunflower; however, no individuals were located during the survey. Species
surveys were not conducted for Carolina heelsplitter. Table 2 provides a summary of the field survey
efforts and biological conclusions for each species.

RE: Heritage; 2017.04
Dear Sean Clark:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one -mile
radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httl2s://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water
Management Trust Fund easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented
near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler(a ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

Carolina heelsplitter - Lasmigona decorata - The main stem of Goose Creek (Pee Dee River system), from the
N.C. Highway 218 Bridge, downstream to its confluence with the Rocky River, and the main stem of Duck
Creek, from the Mecklenburg/Union County line, downstream to its confluence with Goose Creek; the main
stem of Waxhaw Creek (Catawba River system), from the N.C.Highway 200 Bridge, downstream to the North
Carolina/South Carolina State line; and the main stem of Flat Creek (Pee Dee River system), Lancaster County,
South Carolina, from the S.C. Route 204 Bridge, downstream to its confluence with the Lynches River, and the

Belk Branch, Lancaster County, northeast (upstream) of the U.S.Highway 601 Bridge, downstream to the S.C.
Highway 903 Bridge in Kershaw County, South Carolina. Within these areas, the primary constituent elements
include: (i)Permanent, flowing, cool, clean water; (ii)Geomorphically stable stream and river channels and
banks; (iii)Pool, riffle, and run sequences within the channel; (iv)Stable substrates with no more than low
amounts of fine sediment; (v)Moderate stream gradient; (vi)Periodic natural flooding; and (vii)Fish hosts, with
adequate living, foraging, and spawning areas for them.

Definitions of Federal Status Codes:
E = endangered. A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range."
T = threatened. A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a
significant portion of its range."
C = candidate. A taxon under consideration for official listing for which there is sufficient information to support
listing. (Formerly "C1" candidate species.)
BGPA =Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. See below.
ARS = At Risk Species. Species that are Petitioned, Candidates or Proposed for Listing under the Endangered
Species Act. Consultation under Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA is not required for Candidate or Proposed species;
although a Conference, as described under Section 7(a)(4) of the ESA is recommended for actions affecting
species proposed for listing.
T(S/A) = threatened due to similarity of appearance. A taxon that is threatened due to similarity of appearance
with another listed species and is listed for its protection. Taxa listed as T(S/A) are not biologically endangered
or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation. See below.
EXP = experimental population. A taxon listed as experimental (either essential or nonessential). Experimental,
nonessential populations of endangered species (e.g., red wolf) are treated as threatened species on public land,
for consultation purposes, and as species proposed for listing on private land.
P = proposed. Taxa proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened will be noted as "PE" or "PT",
respectively.
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA)_
In the July 9, 2007 Federal Register( 72:37346-37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered, and removed (de-
listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. This delisting took effect August 8,2007.
After delisting, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) (16 U.S.C. 668-668d) becomes the
primary law protecting bald eagles. The Eagle Act prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provides a
statutory definition of "take" that includes "disturb". The USFWS has developed National Bald Eagle
Management Guidelines to provide guidance to land managers, landowners, and others as to how to avoid
disturbing bald eagles. For mor information, visit http://www.fvvs.gov/migratorybirds/baldeagle.htm
Threatened due to similarity of appearance(T(S/A));
In the November 4, 1997 Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog turtle (from New
York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from Virginia south to
Georgia) was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S/A) designation bans the
collection and interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles from the southern population. The
T(S/A) designation has no effect on land management activities by private landowners in North Carolina, part of
the southern population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S/A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service considers the southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss.
Definitions of Record Status:
Current - the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years.
Historic - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago.
Obscure - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain.
Incidental/migrant - the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat.
Probable/potential - the species is considered likely to occur in this county based on the proximity of known
records (in adjacent counties), the presence of potentially suitable habitat, or both.
