Good afternoon Ms. Hood,

We heard from at least one person copied on this email that they couldn’t access our submittal yesterday due to firewall
issues. We apologize in advance for multiple emails but we are sending our submittal again today to ensure you can
access the files. This is the first of two (2) emails with the pdf attachment files broken in to smaller files for your use. Let
us know if you have any questions.

Thanks.

Ms. Chapman:
Thank you for your consideration on the timing for the re-submittal. As requested, we performed two site visits to
confirm the presence of the dwarf-heartleaf with the last site visit being last week….. which we found numerous clusters
that impacted our previously prepared plans.

We are working diligently today to complete the resubmittal to show the avoidance of the plants - which we anticipate
should be out shortly to you guys.

We apologize for any inconvenience - let us know if you guys need any additional information to support the City of
Hickory’s application.

Hi Amy,

Mr. Thomas is questioning the DWR ability to return an incomplete application.
Also, the endangered Hexasylis naniflora species has now been found on this site after the plant review was performed
at the correct time of year. The Corps has not been informed of this finding except by an email I sent about 30 minutes
ago. I have also copied the US Fish and Wildlife Service. As the 401 permit writer, I advise that both Federal agencies
should weigh in on this finding prior to resubmittal for DWR approval.

Thank you for any response you may have.

Regards,
Donna Hood
