Bryan,
I'm a little confused here. I submitted this through the ePCN website and all of this information was included
and should have been forwarded to you. I even attached the full pdf of the application which also has all of the
information you are requesting.
I've attached the pdf of the PCN submittal package. The maps and drawings you requested are in this pdf and
so is the agent authorization form with the Crescent contact information.

I secured mitigation credits from the RES Catawba Umbrella Mitigation Bank and the letter is included in the
attached pdf.
i
Has this happened before? Should I send the application separately from here on to be sure this doesn't happen
again? Should I reach out to Alan Johnson at NCDWR to be sure he has everything?
Please let me know if you need anything else at this time.
Thank you,
Jeff

Mr. Levi,
On September 9, 2021, we received the request for jurisdictional determination you submitted on behalf of
Crescent Communities, LLC on a property located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. I have completed
my initial review of the report and have determined the PCN is insufficient to review.
a. The PCN lacked all supporting documentation such as but not limited to: maps and figures,
construction drawings, agency correspondence, etc. Therefore, please provide a complete PCN with
all the additional supplemental information.
b. The PCN lacked a Compensatory Mitigation Reservation Letter from NCDMS. Therefore, please
include this reservation letter in the revised PCN.
c. The PCN lacked a signed Agent Authorization Form from the applicant (i.e., Crescent
Communities, LLC).
d. Provide the following information for the applicant (i.e., Crescent Communities, LLC)
• Point of contact (first and last name)
• Mailing address
• Telephone number
• Email address
Please provide the information requested above in ONE consolidated response within 30-days of the date of
this correspondence. If you do not respond within 30-days, the request will be administratively canceled.

Subject: Pre -Construction Notification for NWP#29, 39, 58, & Request for Preliminary
Jurisdictional Determination for the 126-acre Westrow Phase 1 project, in Charlotte,
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
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, NC. 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.

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

Impact Justification and Mitigation
1.
Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The site plan was designed to avoid onsite surface water features to the maximum extent practicable while still incorporating necessary site
development/access. Due to the location/extent of jurisdictional features, complete avoidance was not practicable. Impacts were limited through
site location, plan design and location/orientation of lots, access routes, retaining walls, and stormwater treatment facilities. Of the 3144 If (0.582 ac) of
onsite streams and 0.016 acres of wetlands, permanent impacts to surface waters will be limited to 193 If (0.0345 ac) of stream.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Construction techniques will implement approved erosion control methods to avoid/minimize impacts to onsite/adjacent offsite receiving conveyances

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. 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.
G. ALL REQUESTS

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:

Wake Forest, NC 27587
Re Project: Westrow Phase 1
This document confirms that the Crescent River District, LLC (Applicant) for the Westrow Phase 1
(Project) has expressed an interest to utilize 386.00 Stream Mitigation Credits from the EBX sponsored
RES Catawba Umbrella Mitigation Bank, specifically 386.00 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.

Westrow Phase 1 —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).
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

(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 (Ulmus alata), hornbeam
(Carpinus caroliniana), American holly, and transgressives. Shrubs include silky
dogwood (Corpus amomum), tag alder (Alnus serrulata), paw paw (Asimina
triloba), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), 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 (Onoclea 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 altissima). Shrubs include blackberry (Rubus sp.),
winged sumac (Rhus copallinum), strawberry bush (Euonymus americans),
autumn olive, Chinese privet, groundsel tree (Baccharus halimifolia), shrubby St.
John's -wort (Hypericum sp.), and giant cane. Vines include, wild grape (Vitis
sp.), wisteria (Wisteria sp.), kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata), trumpet
creeper, greenbrier, and Japanese honeysuckle. Herbs include St. John's -wort
(Hypericum sp.), yellow crownbeard (Verbesina occidentalis), wingstem
(Verbesina alternifolia), plantain (Plantago sp.), Japanese stilt grass, bushclover
(Lespedeza sp.), dog fennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), goldenrod (Solidago
spp.), tick trefoil (Desmodium sp.), Queen Anne's lace (Daucus carota), mullein
(Verbascum thapsis), pokeweed (Phytolacca americans), aster (Aster spp.),
fireweed (Erechtites hieraciifolius), jimsonweed (Datura stromonium), milkweed
(Asclepius sp.), Asiatic dayflower, heal all (Prunella vulgaris), white snakeroot
(Ageratina altissima), wild onion (Allium sp.), rabbit tobacco (Pseudognaphalium
obtusifolum), Brazilian vervain (Verbena brasiliensis), thoroughwort (Eupatorium
spp.), dock (Rumex spp.), elephants foot (Elephantopus sp.), ragweed (Ambrosia
artemisiifolia), fleabane (Erigeron sp.), black cohosh (Actaea racemosa),
heartleaf, yucca (Yucca filamentosa), plantain (Plantago sp.), nightshade
(Solanum sp.), beggar ticks (Bidens sp.), ironweed (Vernonia sp.), three seeded
mercury (Acalypha rhomboidea), Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides),
ebony spleenwort, assorted grasses, and black-eyed susan (Rudbeckia sp.).
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.

Westrow Phase I —Threatened I Endangered I 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/midwest/endangered/insects/rpbb/rpbbmap.html)
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.

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.

Subject: Summary of Previous Cultural Resources Studies and Assessment of Need to
Conduct Additional Cultural Resources Work
Westrow Phase 1 Project Development Tract and Infrastructure Corridors
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
R.S. 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.
