PCN Form Additional Information
Section B.3e Project Description - Details
The project site is proposed for development of a campground that will be open to the public,
year-round. The campground will have 27 campsites with a mix of cabins and yurts. Each
campsite will have a dedicated parking space and be served by on -site drinking wells and septic
systems. Approximately 7,138 linear feet of 20-feet-wide two-lane roads and 400 linear feet of 10-
foot-wide single -lane roads will be constructed. The alignment of these roads follows, to the
maximum extent practicable, the alignment of the previously constructed single -lane dirt roads.
The previously constructed single -lane dirt roads on site appear to be old logging roads or access
roads to a homesite. The dirt roads required high ground clearance 4x4 vehicles to gain access
to the stie. Many of the culverts along the roads were failing or of improper culvert diameter.
To allow for paved, two-lane and single -lane roads, additional cut and fill was required along the
road alignment. As such, longer culverts, were installed in the streams to achieve a roadbed that
meets current design standards. Portions of several headwater wetlands were filled to provide
the improved roadbed.
Because the site was nearly inaccessible, construction of the road commenced in the second half
of 2021. Improvements to the roads grade and washed-out areas allowed for work on the
campground buildings and facilities to begin.
An After -the -Fact Nationwide Permit 3 and 39 and associated Individual Water Quality
Certification is requested to authorize these impacts. All wetland and stream impacts shown on
Figure 5.0-5.9 have been conducted.
Typical construction equipment will be used on site including bulldozers, excavators, dump trucks,
etc.
Section D.la Avoidance and Minimization - Design
The project design avoids impacts to 0.414 acres of wetland (92% of wetlands on site) and 7,586
linear feet of stream (95% of stream length and 97% of stream bed acreage on site). The proposed
alignment for the roads is almost entirely follows the previously constructed dirt roads. Five of the
eight stream impacts were at road crossings with existing culverts in place. The remaining two
stream crossing impacts are where the stream flowed directly over the previous dirt road surface,
where a previously installed culvert may have been buried and unable to be located during the
wetland and stream delineation. Proposed stream crossings are perpendicular to the stream
channel, minimizing length of stream impact.
Section F.5d Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat — Sources
A Threatened and Endangered Species Review and Habitat Assessment report is included in
Appendix B.
Section F.7b. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources — Sources
The three nearest potentially historic sites are approximately 0.7-1.5 miles from the project site.
The potentially historic sites listed in order of proximity are Site ID: HW0363: Clark Farm (Status:
SO), Site ID: HW0486: Rice House (Status: SO), and Site ID: HW0323: William Best House

DocuSign Envelope ID: 9AA3A86F-E25B-4FB0-8DCD-30B47365C488
(Status: SO). Of these three potentially historic sites, Clark Farm is the only one that is likely within
the viewshed of the proposed project. Data gathered from NCHPO's HPOWEB 2.0 for General
Audience. Accessed April 5, 2022.

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
Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the
review area.
✓❑ Size of Property or Review Area +/- 160 acres.
❑ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

For Approved Jurisdictional Determinations:
■ Jurisdictional wetland features should be labeled as Wetland Waters of the US, 404
wetlands, etc. Please include the acreage of these features.
■ Jurisdictional non -wetland features (i.e. tidal/navigable waters, tributaries,
impoundments) should be labeled as Non -Wetland Waters of the US, stream, tributary,
open water, relatively permanent water, pond, etc. Please include the acreage or linear
length of each of these features as appropriate.
■ Isolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non -
jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non -Jurisdictional. Please
include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non jurisdictional (i.e.
"Isolated", "No Significant Nexus", or "Upland Feature"). Please include the acreage
or linear length of these features as appropriate.
For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations:
■ Wetland and non -wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404,
Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be
identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non -wetland Waters of
the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and

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

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The following report includes methods used and results for a threatened and endangered
species survey and habitat assessment for the proposed approximately 160-acre project
known as Crabtree Mountain Road Campground. The study area occupies a mostly
forested, mountainous tract located at 2504 Crabtree Mountain Road in Clyde, Haywood
County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The site ranges in elevation from 3,064 feet to 4,348 feet
above mean sea level (MSL) (Figure 2).
The threatened and endangered species survey was conducted to determine the
occurrence of or the potential for existence of federally listed threatened and endangered
animal and plant species within the study area (Figure 3). Completion of this survey was
directed by and complies with three current state and federal regulations: the Federal
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543), the North Carolina Endangered
Species Act (N.C.G.S. Sect. 113 article 25), and the North Carolina Plant Protection and
Conservation Act of 1979 (N.C.G.S. Sect. 19b 106: 202.12-22).
2.0 METHODOLOGY
The protected species surveys and habitat assessment was conducted on May 5 and 19,
2022, on the approximately 160-acre project by ClearWater Environmental Consultants, an
EnviroScience Company (ClearWater) to determine the potential for occurrences of animal
and plant species listed as endangered or threatened by current federal regulations.
An official species list was obtained through the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)
Information and Planning and Consultation (IPaC) on March 29, 2022. This species list
provides existing data concerning the presence or potential occurrence of threatened or
endangered species in the defined project boundary (Appendix A). The FWS lists eight
federally threatened and endangered species, in addition to the bald eagle, as occurring or
potentially occurring in the project boundary.

The NHP indicates one medium -accuracy Element Occurrence (EO) of the federally
threatened small -whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) that was observed within a one -
mile radius from the project site in 2002. The status of this EO is "F" meaning that follow up
surveys failed to observe the target species within the EO. No other threatened or
endangered species EOs were found in the NHP database as occurring within one mile of
the project boundary.
During pedestrian field surveys conducted by ClearWater biologists, site habitats were
identified and compared with recognized habitats for nine federally protected species
potentially occurring on the site. Potential flora were identified to the taxonomic unit level
necessary to determine if the observed specimen was a protected species.
3.0 HABITAT CLASSIFICATION
During our site visit on May 5 and 19, Tyson Kurtz, Jeff Golladay, and Caleb Green
identified seven habitats: montane rich cove forest, montane oak -hickory forest, dry
chestnut oak forest, meadow / herbaceous edge, headwater forest wetland, emergent
wetland, and rock outcrop (Figure 4). A general overview of the site and descriptions of
each habitat type are included below.
The rock outcrop habitat is not shown on Figure 4. The numerous rock crops scattered
across the site were occupied by the same species of the adjacent habitat type and only
the species found exclusively on rock outcrops are listed in Section 3.7 below.
The project site covers approximately 160 acres of steep, rocky mountain side. The site is
primarily forested except for the top of the site, which appears to be abandoned pasture.
Much of the forested areas on site have a very dense understory dominated by non-native
and invasive shrubs, vines, and herbaceous plants. The abundance of these non-native
and invasive species increases as elevation decreases.
There are several old logging roads that cut across the mountain side. Several of these
former single lane logging roads have been re -graded and improved to facilitate access to
the site for a campground currently under construction. Yurts and cabins are being
constructed in the center of the site, primarily along the former logging roads. All project
work is below 4,000 ft elevation.
Streams on site are unnamed tributaries to Thickety Branch. The central valley on site
contains numerous, steep gradient headwater streams that confluence into a relatively
large stream dominated by boulders and bedrock. Several additional headwater streams
originate along the southern eastern project boundary. All streams on site have steep -pool
sequencing due to topography and rocky terrain.
The following is a description of each of the habitat types identified on the project site.
3.1 Montane Rich Cove Forest
The forested coves on site are primarily south facing and be classified as montane rich
cove forests. These coves contain a mixture of early and mid -successional canopy tress
with a dense understory containing a high diversity of herbaceous plants known to occupy
rich soils. Evidence of past logging activities is present throughout these coves.

Project #1205 — Crabtree Mountain Road Campground

DocuSign Envelope ID: 9AA3A86F-E25B-4FB0-8DCD-30B47365C488
The tree stratum is dominated by tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), sweet birch (Betula
lenta), black cherry (Prunus serotina), and red maple (Acer rubrum). Additional tree species
observed include basswood (Tilia americana), black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), mockernut
hickory (Carya tomentosa), white ash (Fraxinus americana), and white oak (Quercus alba).
The shrub layer varied from moderately dense near the top of the site to very dense on the
middle and lower elevation areas of the site, due to the presence by multiflora rose (Rosa
multiflora). Additional shrubs species observed include spicebush (Lindera benzoin),
smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens), sugar maple (Acer saccharum), American
beech (Fagus grandifolia), and blackhaw (Viburnum prunifolium). The herbaceous layer of
these coves is very dense and diverse. Diversity decreased as elevation decreases due to
the abundant cover of non-native species. In general, the dominant species observed in the
herbaceous stratum include hairy sweet cicily (Osmorhiza claytonia), cohosh (Actaea spp.),
toothwort (Cardamine spp.), false Solomon's seal (Maianthemum racemosum), Solomon's
seal (Polygonatum biflorum), Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), wild geranium
(Geranium maculatum), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and Virginia creeper
(Parthenocissus quinquefolia). Additional herbaceous species observed include bedstraw
(Galium spp.), great white trillium (Trillium grandiflorum), wild yam (Dioscorea villosa),
chickweed (Stellaria sp.), wild onion (Allium sp.), bear corn (Conopholis americana),
woodland sedum (Sedum ternatum), maiden hair fern (Adiantum pedatum), broad beech
fern (Phegopteris hexagonoptera), rue anemone (Thalictrum thalictroides), bloodroot
(Sanguinaria canadensis), white wood aster (Eurybia divaricata), hog peanut
(Amphicarpaea bracteata), robin's plantain (Erigeron pulchella), Jack in the pulpit
(Arisaema triphyllum), starry Campion (Silene stellata), sedges (Carex spp.), bellwort
(Uvularia sp.), garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata), richweed (Collinsonia canadensis), may
apple (Podophyllum peltatum), spiderwort (Tradescantia sp.), nodding fescue (Festuca
subverticillata), New York fern (Thelypteris noveboracensis), agrimony (Agrimonia sp.)
ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron), bluestem goldenrod (Solidago caesia), bee
balm (Monarda sp.), lowland bladder fern (Cystopteris protrusa), showy orchis (Galearis
spectabilis), roundleaf greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), and American jumpseed (Persicaria
virginiana). The vine stratum is moderately dense. Vine species observed include
muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), dutchman's pipe (Aristolochia macrophylla), poison ivy,
oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), and roundleaf greenbrier.
3.2 Montane Oak -Hickory Forest
On slopes and ridges below approximately 3,600 feet elevation, the forest transitions from
rich cove to montane oak -hickory forest along the ridges and side slopes. These stands
appear to be over basic soils and are generally dry. The understory of this habitat is very
dense with the non-native and invasive multiflora rose as well as several other invasive
shrubs, vines, and herbaceous plants. The tree stratum is dominated by tulip poplar, sweet
birch, black locust (Robinia pseudocacia), red maple, and mockernut hickory. White oak,
white pine (Pinus strobus), and cherry (Prunus spp.) were also observed in this habitat.
Aside from the dominant multiflora rose, observed shrubs species include flowering
dogwood (Cornus florida), mapleleaf viburnum (Viburnum acerifolium), witch hazel
(Hamamelis virginiana), and hawthorn (Crataegus sp.). The herbaceous layer is generally
dense or sparse where multiflora rose is covering the ground surface. The dominant
herbaceous species observed include poison ivy, Christmas fern, Virginia creeper, and
Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). Additional species observed in the herbaceous
slayer include rattlesnake root (Nabalus sp.), hog peanut, blackberry (Rubus sp.), cinquefoil
(Potentilla sp.), bee balm, bluestem goldenrod, American lopseed (Phryma leptostachya),
white avens (Geum canadense), bedstraw, blue-eyed grass (Sisyrinchium sp.), wild lettuce

(Lactuca sp.), leatherflower (Clematis sp.), lyreleaf sage (Salvia lyrata), violet (Viola sp.),
and strawberry (Fragaria sp.). The vine stratum is dense and dominated by oriental
bittersweet, roundleaf greenbrier, poison ivy, and muscadine.
3.3 Dry Chestnut Oak Forest
The dry ridges and side slopes generally above 3600 feet are occupied by chestnut oak
forest. This habitat is a gradual transition from the oak -hickory forest below. This habitat
has relatively open understory along ridges, with fewer non-native invasive species than the
other forest types on site. The canopy is dominated by mature chestnut oak (Quercus
montana), sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum), and northern red oak (Q. rubra). Additional
canopy tress observed include white oak, cucumber tree (Magnolia acuminata), black
locust, pignut hickory (Carya glabra), sassafras (Sassafras albidum), and red maple. The
shrub stratum is relatively sparse and contains multiflora rose and white ash. The
herbaceous layer is moderately dense to sparse. Observed herbaceous species include fire
pink (Silene virginica), blackberry, poison ivy, stripped wintergreen (Chimaphila maculata),
Virginia creeper, rattlesnake root, bellwort, grape fern (Botrychium sp.), woodrush (Luzula
spp.), and blue-eyed grass. The vine stratum is relative sparse and contains muscadine
and dutchman's pipe.
The site also contained a couple sheltered slopes with chestnut oak dominated canopy but
with a dense understory of great rhododendron (Rhododendron maximum), flame azalea
(R. calendulaceum), mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia), upland low blueberry (Vaccinium
pallidum), and beetleweed (Galax urceolata).
3.4 Meadow / Herbaceous Edge
The meadow and herbaceous edge habitat covers the herbaceous areas on and along the
old logging roads and grassy bald around the top of the project site. The dominant
herbaceous species observed include common cat's ear (Hypochaeris radicata), sweet
vernal grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum), longleaf plantain (Plantago lanceolata), perennial
ryegrass (Lolium sp.), lyreleaf sage, wild carrot (Daucus carota), red clover (Trifolium
pratense), white clover (T. repens), vetch (Vicia sp.), Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium
vimineum), yarrow (Achillea millefolium), oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), dandelion
(Taraxacum officinale), poison ivy, velvet grass (Holcus lanatus), orchard grass (Dactylis
glomerata), thistle (Cirsium sp.), horsenettle (Solanum carolinense), and mullein
(Verbascum thapsus). The edges also contained sumac (Rhus sp.), black locust, multiflora
rose, blackberry, and various fruit trees of the rose family.
3.5 Headwater Forest Wetland
Numerus relatively small headwater forest wetlands are present along and above the
headwater streams. These wetlands are forested, contain mostly mineral soils, and are
occasional interspersed with wet rock outcrops. These seepy wetlands have less
vegetative cover than the surrounding uplands forest. The most common tree species
observed in these wetlands is red maple. The sparse shrub stratum is occupied by
spicebush and multiflora rose, where present. The herbaceous layer is moderate dense
and contains various sedge species (Carex spp.), richweed, buttercup (Ranunculus sp.),
golden ragwort (Packera aurea), yellow jewelweed (Impatiens pallida), mountain brook
lettuce (Micranthes micranthidifolia), chickweed, lowland bladder fern, mint (Mentha sp.),

spiderwort, jack in the pulpit, and water cress (Nasturtium sp.). Vines are generally absent
in these wetlands.
3.6 Emergent Wetland
The emergent wetlands occur along the old logging roads and grassy areas near the top of
the site. These wetlands have a mixture of mineral and organic soils. Herbaceous species
observed in these open wetlands include Allegheny monkey flower (Mimulus ringens), soft
rush (Juncus effusus), buttercup, curly doc (Rumex crispus), golden ragwort, smartweed
(Persicaria sp.), fox sedge (Carex vulpinoidea), rice cutgrass (Leersia oryzoides), and
swamp aster (Symphyotrichum puniceum).
3.7 Rock Outcrop
Numerous rock outcrops are present throughout the site, at all elevations. The species
described in the habitats above occupy the margins of these rock outcrops, but several
species were observed only occurring on rock faces. These species include eastern
columbine (Aquilegia canadensis), goldenrod (Solidago sp.), American alumroot
(Heurchera americana), and rockcress (Borodinia sp.). Sheep sorrel (Rumex acetosella)
and hawkweed (Pilosella sp.) were observed only along exposed rocks at the top of the
site.

4.1 Bald Eagle
Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) were removed from the endangered
species list in August 2007 because their populations recovered sufficiently.
Bald and Golden eagles are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Act (Eagle Act)
Distinguished by a white head and white tail feathers, bald eagles are powerful,
brown birds that may weigh 14 pounds and have a wingspan of 8 feet. Male
eagles are smaller, weighing as much as 10 pounds and have a wingspan of 6
feet. Sometimes confused with golden eagles, bald eagles are mostly dark brown
until they are four to five years old and acquire their characteristic coloring.
Bald eagles live near rivers, lakes, and marshes where they can find fish, their
staple food. Bald eagles will also feed on waterfowl, turtles, rabbits, snakes, and
other small animals and carrion. Bald eagles require a good food base, perching
areas, and nesting sites. Their habitat includes estuaries, large lakes, reservoirs,
rivers, and some seacoasts. In winter, the birds congregate near open water in
tall trees for spotting prey and night roosts for sheltering.
Based on a desktop review using 2019 aerial imagery, no potentially suitable
feeding sources for bald eagles were identified within a one -mile radius of the
project boundary. Bald eagles typically nest within 1-mile of suitable feeding
sources. Additionally, no bald eagle nests were observed within the project
boundary. It is the opinion of ClearWater that the proposed project is not likely to
disturb nesting bald eagles.
4.2 Blue Ridge Goldenrod
Federally listed as a threatened species, Blue Ridge goldenrod
(Solidago spithamaea) occupies rock outcrops, ledges, and
cliffs at high elevations (generally above 4,600 ft.). The soils
upon which this species grows are generally shallow and
acidic. Blue Ridge goldenrods usually grow in full sun.
Blue Ridge goldenrod is a small perennial herb (4 to 8 inches
tall). Its golden -yellow flowers appear from late July to
September, and fruits form and ripen from July to October.
Although there are many species of goldenrods, this one can
be distinguished by its flat-topped flowers, small stature,
smooth foliage, and toothed, non -clasping stem leaves.
The highest elevation on site is approximately 4,348 feet above mean sea level
(MSL), therefore no suitable habitat for Blue Ridge goldenrod exists within the
project boundary. The rock outcrops above 4,000 feet are either within the
chestnut oak forest — in shade or contain only a few feet of exposed rock on top
of the grassy bald. The small patches of exposed rock on the grassy bald did not
contain the shallow acidic soils, seepy hydrology, or cliff -like structure required
for this species. The adjacent forests are not spruce -fir communities. Additionally,
proposed development within the study area is below 4,000 feet above MSL.

Project #1205 — Crabtree Mountain Road Campground

DocuSign Envelope ID: 9AA3A86F-E25B-4FB0-8DCD-30B47365C488
It is of the opinion of ClearWater that this project would have no effect on the
blue ridge goldenrod.
4.3 Carolina Northern Flying Squirrel
There are two species of flying squirrels in the Southern Appalachians — the
northern (Glaucomys sabrinus) and southern (Glaucomys volans). Northern
flying squirrels are about one-third larger than the very common southern
species. Also, northern flying squirrels are brown on their backs, and their fur
fades to a buff white on the belly. Southern flying squirrels are grayer on their
backs with bright white bellies, and a clearly defined (usually black) line
separates the fur colors. The endangered Carolina northern flying squirrel is a
subspecies of the northern flying squirrel.
Flying squirrels are nocturnal and have large eyes to help them see at night.
They cannot actually fly, but glide by extending a fold of skin that stretches from
their wrists to their ankles. The flattened tail acts as a rudder. Carolina northern
flying squirrels are relicts of the last ice age. As the glaciers retreated northward
and temperatures rose, remnant populations remained in the suitable habitat left
behind on the high mountain tops along the ridges of the Southern Appalachian
Mountains.
Northern flying squirrels principally feed on certain fungi and lichens, though they
do occasionally eat some fruits and nuts. They're active year-round, but more so
in the warmer summer months. They nest in tree cavities in nests made almost
exclusively of yellow birch bark, where two to six young are born in early spring.
Groups of squirrels often occupy the same tree cavity, particularly in the colder
winter months.
Northern flying squirrels are typically found in areas where northern hardwoods,
such as yellow birch, are adjacent to the higher -elevation red spruce -Fraser fir
forest. These habitats are often moist and cool.
The site does not support these higher elevation species suitable for northern
flying squirrel habitat. No yellow birch or spruce -fir tree communities were
observed on site.
It is the opinion of Clearwater that the project would have no effect on the
Carolina northern flying squirrel.
4.4 Gray Bat
The gray bat (Myotis grisescens) is the largest member of its genus in the eastern
United States. Its forearm measures 40-46 mm, and it weighs from 7-16 grams. It
is easily distinguished from all other bats within its range by its mono -colored fur.
All other eastern bats have distinctly bi-or tri-colored fur on their backs. Following
molt in July or August, gray bats are dark gray, but they often bleach to chestnut
brown or russet between molts (especially apparent in reproductive females
during May and June). The wing membrane connects to the foot at the ankle
rather than at the base of the first toe, as in other species of Myotis. Gray bats
roost in caves year-round. Most winter caves are deep and vertical; all provide
Clearwater Environmental Consultants, an EnviroScience Company Page 8

DocuSign Envelope ID: 9AA3A86F-E25B-4FB0-8DCD-30B47365C488
large volume below the lowest entrance and act as cold air traps. A much wider
variety of cave types are used during spring and fall transient periods. In
summer, maternity colonies prefer caves that act as warm air traps or that
provide restricted rooms or domed ceilings that are capable of trapping the
combined body heat from thousands of clustered individuals.
No naturally occurring suitable habitat (caves) for the gray bat was observed on
this site. All rock outcrops evident on site, indicated by LiDAR (light detection and
ranging) were inspected and no caves were found. However, tree clearing for the
proposed development has already occurred. No additional tree clearing is
proposed for this project at this time.
It is of the opinion of ClearWater that this project will not affect the gray bat.
4.5 Indiana Bat
The Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) is federally listed
as an endangered species. It is a medium-sized
Myotis closely resembling the little brown bat
(Myotis lucifugus) but differing in coloration. Its fur
is a dull grayfish chestnut rather than bronze, with
the basal portion of the hairs of the back dull lead
colored. This bat's underparts are pinkish to
cinnamon, and its hind feet smaller and more
delicate than in M. lucifugus. The calcar is strongly
keeled. This species uses limestone caves for
winter hibernation. The preferred caves have a
temperature averaging 37 degrees to 43 degrees
Fahrenheit in midwinter, and a relative humidity
averaging 87 percent. Summer records are rather scarce. A few individuals
have been found under bridges and in old buildings, and several maternity
colonies have been found under loose bark and in the hollows of trees. Summer
foraging by females and juveniles is limited to riparian and floodplain areas.
Creeks are apparently not used if riparian trees have been removed. Males
forage over floodplain ridges and hillside forests and usually roost in caves.
Foraging areas average 11.2 acres per animal in midsummer. This bat has a
definite breeding period that usually occurs during the first 10 days of October.
Mating takes place at night on the ceilings of large rooms near cave entrances.
Limited mating may also occur in the spring before the hibernating colonies
disperse.
No naturally occurring suitable wintering habitat (large ceilinged caves) for the
Indiana bat was observed on this site. All rock outcrops evident on site, indicated
by LiDAR were inspected and no caves were found. Rock outcrops and snags on
site may serve as unlikely potentially suitable summer habitat for male Indiana
bats. Bottomland riparian corridors are not present on site, the typical summer
habitat for this species. Tree clearing for the proposed development has already
occurred. No additional tree clearing is proposed for this project at this time.
It is the opinion of Clearwater that this project is unlikely to adversely effect the
Indiana bat.

4.6 Northern Long-eared Bat
The northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis) is a medium-sized
bat about 3 to 3.7 inches in length but with a wingspan of 9 to 10 inches. As its
name suggests, this bat is distinguished by its long ears, particularly as
compared to other bats in its genus, Myotis, which are actually bats noted for
their small ears (Myotis means mouse -eared). The NLEB is found across much
of the eastern and north central United States and all Canadian provinces from
the Atlantic coast west to the southern Northwest Territories and eastern British
Columbia. NLEBs spend winter hibernating in caves and mines, called
hibernacula. They typically use large caves or mines with large passages and
entrances; constant temperatures; and high humidity with no air currents.
Summer habitat for the NLEB consists of the cavities, hollows, cracks, or loose
bark of live or dead trees typically greater than three inches DBH (diameter at
breast height).
No naturally occurring suitable wintering habitat for the NLEB exists within the
property boundary. Potentially suitable summer habitat for NLEBs was observed
on site in the form of a few mature trees along the riparian area. ClearWater
biologists did not conduct a bat survey to confirm or deny the presence of
protected bat species.
ClearWater consulted the FWS's interactive mapper for watersheds (HUC 12) in
North Carolina known to contain hibernation or maternity sites for NLEB. The
project site is approximately 10 miles from a documented NLEB occupied
watershed. Because the project parcel is greater than 0.25 miles from a known
hibernaculum and greater than 150 feet from a known maternity roost tree, this
project satisfies the 4(d) rule and consultation with US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) is not required.
It is of the opinion of ClearWater that the project is not likely to adversely affect
the NLEB.
4.7 Rock Gnome Lichen
Federally listed as an endangered species, rock gnome lichen (Gymnoderma
lineare) occurs on rocks in areas of high humidity either at high elevations
(usually vertical cliff faces) or on boulders and large rock outcrops in deep river
gorges at lower elevations. Distinguishing characteristics include dense colonies
of narrow (.04 inch) straps that are blue -grey on the upper surface and generally
shiny -white on the lower surface. Near the base they grade to black (the similar
species of Squamulose cladonias are never blackened toward the base).
Fruiting bodies are borne at the tips of the straps and are black (similar Cladonia
species have brown or red fruiting bodies). Flowering occurs July through
September.
Suitable habitat for this species was not observed within the project boundary.
Numerous rock outcrops exist within the proposed project boundary; however,
the highest elevation on site is 4,348 feet above MSL. None of the observed rock
outcrops are considered cliff faces or adjacent to gorges. Additionally,

development is only proposed below 4,000 feet. Rock gnome lichen habitat is
typically above 5,000 feet.
Therefore, it is the opinion of ClearWater that the proposed project would have
no effect on the rock gnome lichen.
4.8 Small Whorled Pogonia
Small -whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) is federally listed as
an endangered species. It occurs on upland sites in mixed -
deciduous or mixed-deciduous/coniferous forests that are
generally in second or third growth successional stages.
Characteristics common to most sites include sparse to moderate
ground cover in the species' microhabitat, a relatively open
understory canopy, and proximity to features that create long
persisting breaks in the forest canopy. Soils at most sites are
highly acidic and nutrient poor, with moderately high soil moisture
values. Light availability could be a limiting factor for this species.
The stem is smooth, hollow pale green and 3.7-9.8 inches tall with
a single whorl of 5 to 6 light green elliptical leaves 3 inches long
and 1.6 inches wide. A flower is borne at the top of the stem. It is distinguished
from the similar Isotria verticillata by the latter's purplish stem and long, dark
sepals.
Suitable habitat for the small whorled pogonia was not found on site. The
forested areas have a dense understory and are generally crowded with invasive
shrubs and vines. Invasive species were observed most prevalent along the
forest edges and logging roads below 3600 feet, where pogonia would be
expected. Furthermore, vegetative communities across the site indicate rich soil
conditions, whereas small whorled pogonia habitat is very acidic. Additionally, no
Isotria sp. individuals were observed during the pedestrian survey.
It is the opinion of ClearWater that this project would have no effect on small
whorled pogonia.
4.9 Spreading Avens
Spreading avens (Geum radiatum) is a tall
perennial herb growing 8 - 20 inches (in)
(20.3 — 50.8 centimeters; cm) tall. Its
distinctive bright yellow flowers, which are
generally up to 1 in (2.5 cm) across) appear
from June through September, and fruits
form and ripen from August through October.
This species grows in full sun on the shallow
acidic soils of high -elevation cliffs (above
4,200 feet (1,280 meters)), rocky outcrops, steep slopes, and on gravelly talus.
It is known to occur only on high mountain peaks in western North Carolina and
eastern Tennessee.

Project #1205 — Crabtree Mountain Road Campground

DocuSign Envelope ID: 9AA3A86F-E25B-4FB0-8DCD-30B47365C488
Being confined to small areas on a few rocky mountain summits, this species is
extremely vulnerable to such seemingly minor threats as trampling by hikers,
climbers, and sightseers, as well as to more pervasive threats such as acid
precipitation, and other forms of air pollution. An exotic insect, the balsam woolly
adelgid, contributes to the decline of the fir forests adjacent to the cliffs where
Spreading avens grows. Although Spreading avens does not grow beneath
dense forest, the death of the adjacent forests results in drier and hotter
conditions, as well as increased soil erosion. All these factors threaten the last
remaining Spreading avens populations.
No suitable habitat for spreading avens was found on site. The rock outcrops
above 4,000 feet are either within the chestnut oak forest — in shade or contain
only a few feet of exposed rock on top of the grassy bald. The small patches of
exposed rock on the grassy bald did not contain the shallow acidic soils, seepy
hydrology, or cliff -like structure required for this species. The adjacent forests are
not spruce -fir communities. The soil units documented in the USFWS recovery
plan where this species is known to occur (haplumbrepts, udorthents, and
entisols) are not within the project boundary (Figure 5). The Geum species on
site was identified as Geum canadense (a widespread and common avens
species) and was found in dense shade, below 4,000 feet. Additionally, proposed
development within the study area is below 4,000 feet above MSL.
It is the opinion of ClearWater that this project would not have any effect on
spreading avens.
5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
During completion of threatened and endangered species habitat assessments for the
Crabtree Mountain Road Campground site, ClearWater observed potentially suitable
summer habitat for NLEB. However, based on the project's location the project satisfies
the 4(d) rule and consultation with US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is not required.
Unlikely but potentially suitable summer habitat for the Indiana bat was also observed on
site. However, additional tree clearing on site is not proposed at this time. Therefore, the
project is not likely to adversely affect the Indiana bat.
It is of the opinion of ClearWater that the development of the Crabtree Mountain
Campground is not likely to adversely affect federally protected species listed as potentially
occurring within the project boundary.
Potential flora were identified to the taxonomic unit level necessary to determine if the
observed specimen was a protected species.
Because of the transitory nature of some of the listed threatened and endangered species
and the particular flower/fruiting periods of some plants; it is possible that endangered
species populations and locations may change over time. Therefore, any potential findings
at a later date should be fully investigated and coordinated with appropriate agencies to
prevent potential adverse impacts.

Project Code: 2022-0025552
Project Name: Crabtree Mountain
March 29, 2022
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)

DocuSign Envelope ID: 9AA3A86F-E25B-4FB0-8DCD-30B47365C488
03/29/2022
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7
consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered
Species Consultation Handbook" at:
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to
protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional,
resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more
information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php.
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally
killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to
comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within
applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan
(when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and
their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and
recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to-
birds.php.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies
to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities
that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures
that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/
executive-orders/e0-13186.php.
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of
this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit
to our office.

Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
N CN H D E-17540
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/Di rectory_/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.butler(a)ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.

No Element Occurrences are Documented within the Project Area
There are no documented element occurrences (of medium to very high accuracy) that intersect with the project area. Please note, however, that although the
NCNHP database does not show records for rare species within the project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present; it may simply mean that
the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if needed, particularly if the project
area contains suitable habitat for rare species. If rare species are found, the NCNHP would appreciate receiving this information so that we may update our
database.
