The study area consists of undeveloped forested areas and an agricultural field. The surrounding land use consist of single-family residential areas, undeveloped forested areas, and
agricultural fields. On -site elevations range from 770-810 feet above mean sea level (Figure 2). Land cover within the project area consists of mixed forest and an agricultural field (Figure
3).
According to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Web Soil Survey of Rowan County (Figure 4) and the NRCS Published
Soil Survey for Rowan County (Figure 5), on -site soils consist of three soil types. None of the on -site soils are listed as being hydric or containing hydric inclusions on the Web Soil Survey.
A review of the NWI GIS layer depicts a riverine system in the southeastern portion of the project limits (Figure 6). FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer was reviewed for the project area
(FEMA Panel 3710562600J). The entire property is within an area of minimal flood hazard (Figure 7). Based on the results of the wetland delineation, there are three jurisdictional waters
of the U.S. located within the project boundary (Streams A-C), totaling approximately 0.202 acre, (2,234 linear feet; Figure 8).
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
O Yes 0 No ® Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:

4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
1,454 If perennial, 780 If intermittent
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of this project is to develop the property into a residential development. This project will provide housing for China Grove, North Carolina to meet the growing demand for
housing due to population growth.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 29, the project proposes crossing an unnamed tributary to Grants Creek with a culvert. This would result in 88 If permanent stream impact (S1). The
proposed culvert will be constructed in dry, utilizing a dewatering system. The dewatering system would result in 20 If of temporary impact (S2). The proposed culvert will be buried one
feet below the existing grade. Wing walls were utilized to minimize the proposed impact.
Additionally, the project proposes an aerial sewerline crossing, resulting in 20 If of temporary impacts (S3) due to temporary disturbance for construction. This area will be restored to pre -
disturbance conditions.

1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
To avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S., property was delineated prior to finalizing the site plan and the proposed site plan was
designed around the delineation results. The proposed permanent impacts have been limited to one road crossing required to provide ingress and
egress for the proposed development. Stream A divides the property in half, therefore the proposed impact cannot be avoided.
lb. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. Silt fence will be installed around the
jurisdictional features, outside of the avoided wetlands and streams. Construction activities and impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will
comply with all conditions of Nationwide Permit No. 29 and Water Quality Certificate No. 4256. All work will be constructed in the dry and all temporary
fill will be removed following the work.

Dear Ms. McClellan,
Protected Species Habitat Assessment Report
China Grove Site
China Grove, North Carolina
CWS Project No. 2022-0003
Fiorenza Properties has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide a
protected species habitat assessment for the China Grove Site. The China Grove Site is
approximately 37 acres in extent and is located south of the W. Church Street and Barnhardt
Road intersection in China Grove, North Carolina (Figure 1, attached).
Methods
In -office Desktop Review
To determine which protected species are listed as occurring or potentially occurring within the
project vicinity and prior to conducting the on -site field investigation, CWS consulted the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Endangered and Threatened Species and Species of
Concern by County for North Carolina online database for Rowan County' and Information for
Planning and Consultation (IPAC) database2. In addition, CWS performed a data review using
the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Data Explorer3 on February 9, 2022 to
determine if any record occurrences of federally -listed, candidate endangered, threatened
species, or critical habitat are located within the project limits.
Typical habitat requirements for listed species was discerned from multiple USFWS4 and
NCNHP5 online resources including, but not limited to, specific USFWS species profiles,
recovery plans, NCNHP's Guide to Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species of
North Carolina, and List of the Rare Plant Species of North Carolina. United States Department

Rowan County' and aerial imagery were also reviewed for potential habitat of listed species
within the project vicinity (Figures 2 and 3).
Field Survey
CWS scientists, Aliisa Harjuniemi, PWS7, and Megan Bollero, WPIT', conducted a pedestrian
habitat assessment of the project area on February 9, 2022. Potential habitats for potentially
occurring federally -protected species that were identified during the desktop review were
assessed in the field for the quality of physical and/or biological features essential to the
conservation of the applicable species. Additionally, during the pedestrian habitat assessment,
areas were reviewed for applicable federally protected species. Identification references for
natural communities include the National Land Cover Database (2011)9.
Results
Based on the NCNHP data explorer review, there are no current records of federally -protected
species within the project limits or within a mile of the project limits (Attachment A). The
USFWS lists one federally protected species for Rowan County (Table 1). Additionally, bald
eagle is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act10. An official species list
has not been obtained from the USFWS Asheville Field Office.

Two terrestrial community types were identified within the project area during the field survey.
These community types consist of undeveloped forest and an agricultural field (Figure 3). Of
the identified on -site community types, the forested areas and edges of the agricultural field are
considered potential habitat for federally threatened or endangered species that could
potentially occur within the project limits. A brief description of each species habitat
requirements and determination of effect findings are listed below by species.

Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii)
Habitat Description:
Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial herb with yellow rays and yellow centers. They
can reach heights of five feet. Populations are limited to the piedmont of North and
South Carolina. It has been listed as an Endangered species under the ESA since
1991.11 The typical habitat for this plant includes roadsides, old pastures, transmission
line right-of-ways, open areas, either natural or human -maintained habitats, or edges of
upland woods. Major characteristics of soils associated with suitable Schweinitz's
sunflower habitat include thin soils, soils on upland interstream flats or gentle slopes,
soils that are clay like in both composition and texture (and often with substantial rock
fragments), soils that have a high shrinkage swell capacity, and those which vary over
the course of the year from very wet to very dry.
Biological Analysis:
A NCNHP data record review revealed that there are no current occurrences for this
species within the project limits or within a one -mile radius of the project. A desktop
review of the site was conducted on February 9, 2022, and determined that the Cecil
and Pacolet soil series that has known Schweinitz's sunflower populations cover the
majority of the project limits. There are infrequently maintained areas along the forest
edges where it meets the agricultural field and the roadsides that are marginal habitat for
Schweinitz's sunflower populations (Figure 3; Photographs 1 and 2). The forested areas
within the project limits do not provide adequate sunlight to support Schweinitz's
sunflower (Photographs 3). No individuals of this species were observed. However, this
assessment was completed outside the optimal survey window for this species. Due to
the presence of marginal habitat, CWS recommends a survey for this species during
the optimal survey window (late August -October; Attachment C). Alternatively,
CWS recommends avoiding disturbing these areas.
Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act,12 enacted in 1940, prohibits anyone without a permit
issued, from "taking" bald eagles, including their parts, nests, or eggs. Habitat for the bald
eagle includes cliffs and forested areas typically within 1.0 mile of estuaries, large lakes,
reservoirs, rivers, seacoast, and as they become more abundant, stands of undisturbed forest.
A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area, as well as, the area within a 1 mile radius
of the project limits, was performed on February 9, 2022, using 2021 color aerials. There are no
bodies of water large enough or sufficiently open to be considered a potential feeding source.
According to the NCNHP database, there are no current occurrences of this species within 1.0
mile of the project study area. Additionally, no bald eagles or bald eagle nests were observed
within the study area at the time of the site visit. Due to the lack of optimal habitat within the
project limits and lack of observations, CWS concludes that this project will have no effect
on this species.

Summary
Based on the literature search and the results of the on -site assessment for suitable habitat of
federally -protected endangered, and threatened species, suitable habitat was not observed
within the project limits for bald eagle. CWS has concluded that activities within the project area
will not directly or indirectly jeopardize the continued existence of bald eagles.
Potential habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower was observed within the project limits. CWS
recommends a survey for this species during the optimal survey windows (Attachment C).
Alternatively, CWS recommends avoiding disturbing these areas.
Biological determinations requirements for federally protected species are summarized in Table

A biological assessment was not conducted for this project. All biological determinations of
effect represent the best professional opinion of CWS and are not official determinations of
effect. It is the responsibility of the lead federal agency to render an official determination of
effect and if formal or informal consultation with USFWS will be required.

RE: China Grove Site
Dear Megan Bollero:
❑. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
❑eputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
NCNHDE-17128
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
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 found within the project area or is 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.
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 Federally -
listed species are 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 [e-mail] or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

OTHER NOTES:
These survey windows were determined from species recovery plans, field observations, herbaria specimens, and
NC Natural Heritage Program information. For additional information about these species, please visit the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service Asheville Field Office webpage at https://www.fws.gov/asheville/ or the Raleigh Field Office
webpage at https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/.
If suitable habitat for species is present in the proposed impact area, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will likely
request species surveys, conducted by a qualified biologist, during the optimal survey window. Projects are
reviewed on a case -by -case basis and you are encouraged to contact a Section 7 coordinator early in the project
planning process. To discuss your project and survey requirements with a Section 7 coordinator, please contact the
Asheville Field Office at 828-258-3939 or the Raleigh Field Office at 919-856-4520
