Subject: Pre -Construction Notification for NWP# 39 for the 30.65-acre Bonds Farm Tract 1
project, in Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina.
Ms. Stygar and Messrs., Johnson, Hamstead, and Wojoski,
Enclosed is a request for a Nationwide Permit #39 for the — 31-acre Bonds Farm Tract 1 project
to be located near 655 Pitts School Road west of 185, south of Poplar Tent Road, and northwest
of Belt Road, in Concord, NC. The site is a proposed Industrial development consisting of 2
streams totaling approximately 1190 linear feet and 3 wetlands totaling 0.125 acres within the
project area.
A Jurisdictional Determination (JD) was completed on 10/27/21 for this tract and an additional
tract not included in this permit application. The JD is attached and a map of Tract 1 is
included. No impacts to jurisdictional waters are being proposed for the 2nd tract.

Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC.
Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group
Due to the locations of the onsite aquatic features, complete avoidance of impacts was not
practicable. Impacts to site surface waters associated with the proposed development were
limited through site selection location, design, and location of the building and parking areas
along the low quality stream valley. Along with building orientation and parking lot design,
extensive use of headwalls are being proposed to minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters.
Proposed permanent loss to jurisdictional waters associated with this project will be
approximately 394 linear feet (0.0348 acres) of highly degraded intermittent stream and 0.0517
acres of wetland for a portion of the building and parking areas.
The main proposed stream impact is in a heavily degraded agricultural stream. Historic
surrounding agricultural land use has degraded the stream channel including impacts from
cattle use. WEPG conducted an NCSAM evaluation (included in this submittal) and the stream
received a Low score. Based on the degradation and NCSAM evaluation we are proposing
mitigation at a 1:1 ratio. No mitigation banks were available at the time of this permit
application. NCDMS has accepted the mitigation credit request for wetland and stream impacts.
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 there are no NRHP-listed properties, determined -eligible properties, study -
listed resources, designated local landmarks, cemeteries, or recorded archeological sites
located within the study tract.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide this information. Please contact me at 828-699-3697
or [e-mail] if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy
of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the
impact amounts shown below.

Indicate Which of the Following Appl
A. Preliminary Determination
® There appearto be waters onthe above described project area/property, thatmay be subjectto Section 404 ofthe Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 ofthe Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters have been
delineated, and the delineation has beenverifiedby the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries
of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation mapdated 9/13/2021. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination
maybe used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of
impacts, compensatory mitigationrequirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a
preliminary JD will treat allwaters and wetlands thatwould be affected in anyway 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, youmay requestan approved JD, which is an appealable
action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property, thatmay be subjectto Section 404 ofthe Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 ofthe Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters
have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdictiondetermination may not be used in the permit evaluation process.
Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective pre sumption of C WA/RHA
jurisdiction over allof the waters at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate andreliable to support anenforceable
permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters 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 consultantto conduct a delineation that can
be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
❑ There are Navigable Waters ofthe United States within the above described project area/property subjectto the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers andHarbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 ofthe Clean WaterAct
(CWA)(33USC§ 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination maybe relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are waterson the above described project area/property subjectto thepermit requirements of Section 404 ofthe Clean
WaterAct(CWA)(33USC§ 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination maybe
relied upon fora periodnotto exceedfive years from the date ofthis notification.
❑ We recommend you have the waters on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may notbe able to accomplish
this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation thatcan be verified by
the Corps.
❑ The waters on yourproject area/property have been delineated and the delineation has beenverifiedby the Corps. The
approximate boundaries of these waters are shown onthe enclosed delineationmapdatedDATE. We strongly suggest youhave
this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey

SAW-2021-02102
will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWAjurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in
the law or our published regulations, maybe relied upon for a periodnotto exceed five years.
❑ The waters 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 maybe 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 subj ectto the
permit requirements of Section404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination maybe relied upon for a period notto exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one ofthe 20Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of CoastalMa nagement in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill materialwithin waters of the US, in cludin g wetlands, without a Department ofthe Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section301 of the Clean WaterAct (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters ofthe United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
rega rdin g this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Krystynka B Stygar at 252-545-0507 or
krystynka.b.stygar&gsace.army.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: Based on information submitted by the applicant and available to the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, the project area exhibits criteria for waters of the U.S. as defined 33 CFR
328, Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-05, and 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual, and/or the Regional
Supplement to the 1987 Manual: Eastern Piedmont and Mountains v2.0. See the preliminary

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may bejurisdictional 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 othergeneral permitverification 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 rightto 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 subjectpermit 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 orjudicial 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 "maybe" navigable waters of the U.S.
on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could
be affectedby the proposed activity, based on the following information:

METHODOLOGY:
The US Fish and Wildlife Service website
https:Hecos.fws.gov/ipac/location/FPAYKUZJM5C451 OI PQD3DAM6E I/resources
was referenced to determine the occurrence of Threatened, Endangered and
Protected species for Cabarrus County North Carolina, the results of which are
listed below (Table 1). Maps and aerial photographs were assembled, and the
site was investigated on October 4, 2021.

Bonds Farm - Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation
PROTECTED SPECIES DESCRIPTIONS:
One plant species with federal protection is listed as potentially occurring in
Cabarrus 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).
Three animal species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in
Cabarrus County:
• 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.
• 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.

Bonds Farm - Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation
RESULTS:
The site is composed of active farmland. A crop field covers the eastern portion
of the site along Pitts School Road, most recently planted in soybeans (Glycine
max), harvested, and disked to bare soil at the time of evaluation. The remainder
of the site is covered with pasture and hay fields. There is a typical interstate
highway right of way along the boundary with 1-85, with a thin wooded buffer, and
a small overhead utility line along the boundary with Pitts School Road. There
are narrow strips of typical native trees and vegetation along natural drainages
and along the field perimeters. Exposed bedrock and boulders are scattered in
pockets near the northern boundary.
The hayfields and pastures are dominated by forage grasses and common herbs
including Fescue (Festuca spp.), Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerate), Kentucky

Threatened / Endangered / Protected Species Results
• All potential habitats for Schweinitz's Sunflower along the roadsides, tree
lines and field edges were examined, and the species was not observed.
WEPG concludes Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) does
not occur on the site.
• There is no suitable habitat on site to support Carolina Heelsplitter. Based
on existing documentation, Carolina Heelsplitter populations have not
been identified within this basin. WEPG concludes Carolina Heelsplitter
(Las0gona decorata) 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 /eucocepha/us) does not occur on the site.
• Comparing this site location to the USFWS Asheville office's website
(http-//www.fws.gov/asheville/htmis/project_review/NLEB_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.
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.

Subject: Findings - Cultural Resources Literature Review
Bonds Farm Industrial Park Tract 1
Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina
R.S. Webb & Associates No. 21-649-143
Dear Mr. Levi:
BACKGROUND
During December 2021, R.S. Webb & Associates (RSWA) conducted a cultural resources literature
review for Tract 1 of the proposed Bonds Farm Industrial Park development near Concord, Cabarrus
County, North Carolina. The project area covers approximately 30.7 acres and is located between
Pitts School Road (east) and Interstate 85 (west), approximately 480 meters (m) south of Poplar Tent
Road, in southwestern Cabarrus County (Figure 1).
For this study, a cultural resource is defined as a discrete area of human activity that is at least 50
years old. Cultural resources include, but are not limited to, archeological sites, historic structures,
military earthworks, mines/mining features, historic cemeteries, and historic landscape features. The
purpose of the current study was to determine if previously recorded cultural resources are located
within the project area.
METHODOLOGY
Through the State Historic Preservation Office's (SHPO) HPOWEB database, information was
reviewed regarding National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) properties, Cabarrus County
surveyed -only historic resources, local landmarks, state study -list sites and historic resources
determined by the SHPO to be eligible for the NRHP. The North Carolina Office of State
Archaeology (OSA) provided RSWA with information via email regarding archeological sites within
1.6 kilometers (km) (1.0 mile) of the project area. This information included site forms, location
maps and partial or full reports. Historic county maps were examined online through North Carolina
Maps, a collaboration of the University of North Carolina, the State Archives of North Carolina, and
the Outer Banks History Center. Historic aerial photography and additional historic maps were
accessed through Historicaerials.com, Earthexplorer.usgs.gov, Legacy.lib.utexas.edu/maps/, and/or
Alabamamaps.ua. edu.
The following primary sources were found to be useful in searching for historic resources within and
adjacent to the project area:

Findings - Cultural Resources Literature Review, Bonds Farm Industrial Tract 1, Cabarrus County Page 2
December 8, 2021
• 1891 The Official Military Atlas of the Civil War (Davis et al. reprinted, 1983)
• 1910 USDA Cabarrus County Sheet Soil Map
• 1921 Rural Delivery Map of Cabarrus County
• 1938 and 1967 State Highway and Public Works Commission Map of Cabarrus County
• 1949 and 1969 USGS Kannapolis, NC 7.5 minute quadrangle
• 1956, 1965, and 1983 aerial photographs of Cabarrus County
• 1985-2018 Google Earth aerial photography.
RESULTS
Previous Archeological Investigations: OSA records indicate no fewer than six previous cultural
resources investigations within 1.0 km of the study tract, all of which were associated with evolving
transportation facilities located approximately 500 m north and west of the study tract (Figure 1).
Various portions of the Cabarras County/Regional Airport property were surveyed on four or five
separate occasions (Fischer 1978; May 1989, 1990; Reid and O'Neal 2002; Perash and Butler 2020),
and portions of the Poplar Tent Road corridor were surveyed on at least one occasion (Martin 2006).
No cultural resources survey is known to have been performed inside, or within 450 m of, the current
study tract.
Previous Architecturallnvestigations: According to SHPO personnel, the North Carolina HPOWEB
database is the definitive source of architectural survey information for Cabarrus County.
National Register of Historic Places: There are no NRHP-listed historic properties located within
1.0 km of the current study tract.
Cabarrus County Historic Resources: The HPOWEB database indicates that the circa 1852 Poplar
Tent Church building (Resource No. CA0527), located 730 m northeast of the study tract, was added
to the state Study -List in 1980 and determined eligible (DOE) for the NRHP in 2005 (Figure 1).
The database shows five additional surveyed -only historic resources within 1.0 km of the study tract
(Resource Nos. CA0518 and CAI 105-CA1108), four of which are situated within 300 to 550 m to
the north or northeast (Figure 1). Resource No. CA0518 (Reverend John R. Robinson House) was
within the northern part of the study tract (Figure 1). A review of aerial photography suggests that
this resource was present at the recorded location as late as 2004; however, it was no longer present
by 2018. Other recorded historic resources are located more than 300 m from study tract boundaries.
Recorded Archeological Sites: The OSA database identifies four recorded archeological sites within
1.0 km of the project area; the closest of these, 31CAI 94, is located approximately 400 m west of
the study tract (Figure 1). Site 31 CA 194 is a prehistoric artifact scatter that was determined
ineligible for the NRHP after evaluation.
Revolutionary War Actions/Features: There were no recorded Revolutionary War military
engagements in Cabarrus County. After a brief occupation of Charlotte (22 km southwest), British
troops retreated southwest into South Carolina before passing west and north of the project area on
their retreat from the southern colonies. The closest military actions took place in south Iredell
County, more than 20 km northwest of the project area (Lewis 2021).

December 8, 2021
Civil War Actions/Features: Review of the Civil War military atlas (Davis et al. 1983) revealed that
no Civil War infantry engagements occurred in or near Cabarrus County. Maps indicate that Union
cavalry operated west of the Catawba River (22 km west) and later pursued Confederate President
Jefferson Davis along the railroad as far south as Concord (10 km northeast) before passing north
toward the study tract then west and south to Charlotte. While bivouacking, scouting, raiding, and
foraging could have taken place nearby, there are no recorded indications of Civil War military
actions in or near the study tract (Davis et al. 1983).
Historic Cemeteries: The USGS topographic maps reviewed show one mapped cemetery within 1.0
km of the project area. Poplar Tent Church Cemetery is located approximately 720 m northeast of
the study tract (Figure 1).
Structures and Features on Historic Maps and Aerial Photographs: All 20th century maps reviewed
show Poplar Tent Road to the north, Pitts School Road along the eastern study tract boundary, and
Ivey Cline Road to the west. The 1910 and 1921 maps depict a single building west of Pitts School
Road, apparently in the study tract (Figure 1). The 1938 county highway map, produced only on a
general scale, shows two buildings on the same east -west plane located west of Pitts School Road,
apparently in the study tract (Figure 1). The 1949 USGS topographic map shows a short access road
leading west from Pitts School Road to a single building in the study tract, and additional
development along Pitts School Road south of the project area (Figure 1). The single building on
this map and later ones is at the approximate location of Historic Resource No. CA0518. The
highway map produced in 1967 indicates a dwelling and a large outbuilding in the study tract, and
additional development along Pitts School Road south of the study tract. The 1969 USGS
topographic map illustrates the Interstate 85 corridor passing between Pitts School Road and Ivey
Cline Road, along the western study tract boundary, and it shows additional developments along Pitts
School Road north and south of the study tract (Figure 1); this map shows no other features in or
near the study tract.
Aerial photography dating to the period 1956 through 1983 shows a road passing west from Pitts
School Road to a cluster of several buildings (i.e., a farmstead) located in the northern part of the
study tract at or near the location of Historic Resource No. CA0518. The area near the building
cluster and to its south (the middle part of the study tract) became increasingly wooded while the
remainder of the study tract was in cultivation through 1965; it was in pasture by 1983. Occupation
of the farmstead in the study tract appears to have ceased by 1983, and the occupation site remained
in woods while the rest of the study tract was in pasture through 2018. The recorded dwelling in the
north part of the study tract appeared abandoned but present in aerial photographs from 1983 through
2004; however the dwelling did it not appear on aerial photographs dating from 2018 forward.
CONCLUSIONS
There are no NRHP-listed properties, determined -eligible properties, study -listed resources,
designated local landmarks, cemeteries, or recorded archeological sites located within the study tract.
Historic maps and aerial photographs suggest that the surveyed -only Reverend John R. Robinson
House (Resource No. CA0518) was part of a large agricultural operation active in the study tract
throughout the first half of the 20' century; it fell into decline after 1965. By 2018, aerial
photography shows that the Robinson House was no longer present.
