Therefore, we have no comment on the undertaking as proposed " Protected Species A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program ( NCNHP) on October'8, 2008 to determine the presence of any federally 'listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. `In a response letter, dated October 14, 2008 (attached), the NCNHP stated that they have " ..three records of rare species and one Significant Natural Heritage Area, within 2 kilometers of the project site..." CWS conducted a protected species survey of the site which consisted of a literature and records search, and pedestrian observations from January 24 through 28, 2005, and concluded that no protected.species were found within the project limits. Potential habitats for the endangered species were re- surveyed during the flowering season on October 26, 2006 No,protected[species were found within areas of potential habitat. A copy of the Protected Species Rep_ ort for the entire subdivision is attached. Purpose and Need for the Project The purpose of this submittal is to construct the final phase of the Olmsted Subdivision, Phase II (Figure 12, attached), Phase II will develop approximately 292 acres,of wooded area into a residential subdivision to provide single - family housing to meet'the growth and demand of an area of Mecklenburg County that is experiencing significant population growth Unavoidable impacts to on- site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are necessary to construct road and utility crossings to service Phase II of the Olmstead Subdivision. Alternatives Analysis In an attempt to minimize impacts to Jurisdictional waters while still meeting the goals of the project, an alternatives analysis was conducted for this project. Alternatives that received consideration and the rationale for selecting the preferred alternative are described below A "No Build" alternative was considered. This alternative would complete the built out of the remaining lots in Phase I of the Olmsted subdivision and not develop Phase II of the project, This option would leave unsightly stub roads in a number of locations. Furthermore, since the current property owner purchased the property for the purpose of completing the development, this option would not meet any of the project goals Therefore, the No -Build Alternative was eliminated from further consideration. In order to complete to project it is necessary to make a number of stream crossings. The location for these stream crossings is constrained by the,existmg road layout from Phase I as well as the natural site topography and existing natural resources. A number of options foraffectmg these crossings were considered. Initially, the use of bottomless culverts was considered. However, it was quickly realized 4 Olmsted Subdivision Phase II August 28, 2014 Section 404 Individual Permit Application CWS Project No. 2013 -3236 that using bottomless culverts on all crossings would be cost prohibitive. Cost estimates of bottomless culverts for these crossings are in excess of $1,000,000 per crossing due to the steep topography of the site. A bottomless,culvert will be used aVa crossing, of Perennial RPW Stream A. The use of bottomless culverts for the remaining crossings was determined to be too expensive The project engineer evaluated a number of options to minimize impacts associated wrth,the crossings Impacts were reduced through the use of headwalls upstream and downstream of culverts In addition, minor adjustments were made to the proposed, crossing locations in an effort to minimize impacts. The currently propbsed,site plan was,developed.as a result of this alteratives analysis and avoidance and minimization process We believe that the current site plan is the best possible plan that meets the project goals while avoiding impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. to the greatest extent possible The project has been thoughtfully designed, to'avoid,impacts wherever possible. Avoidance and Minimization Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the, U S- have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. Road and utility crossings of jurisdictional waters of the U S were avoided and/or combined wherever possible in order to reduce impacts Road crossing have been reduced to the minimum number necessary to meev local planning ordinances requiring appropriate emergency vehicle access within the subdivision. An aerial sewer'Ime is proposed in ordevto minimize disturbances to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. Additionally, a bottomless culvert will be implemented on one road crossing in order to "reduce impacts to Perennial RWP Stream A (Figures 15, attached). Our client chose to utilize a bottomless culvert to cross Stream A, despite the considerable expense involved, due to the high quality of this stream Retaining walls are, used at headwalls,and endwalls to minimize the length of culvert required for each crossing In addition, the required amount of rip rap was limited to the maximum extent practicable and within specification of local ordinances. The temporary construction easement for the sanitary sewer will be limited to 15 feet in width through wetlands. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be applied to minimize disturbances to downstream waters' Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters Unavoidable impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters associated with Phase 11 ,of the Olmsted Subdivision total approximately 1,007 linear feet of stream and 0.313 acre of wetlands. Impacts to Seasonal RPWs: Unavoidable impacts to on -site seasonal stream channels, total 707 linear feet and are the result of culverts and rip rap aprons associated with roadways (Crossings 1, 3, 4, and 10) and ,a sewer line crossing (Crossing 5) Permanent impacts total 692 linear feet and;are associated with road crossings. Temporary impacts total 15 linear feet and are associated with a sewer line crossing Impacts to,Perennial RPWs Unavoidable permanent impacts to on -site important perennial stream channels total 300 linear feet and are the result of the installation of culverts and rip rap aprons,associated with Crossings 6 and 7 Figures 22 and 23, (attached) illustrate a plan view and profile view, respectively, of Crossing 6. Figures 24 and 25 (attached) illustrate a plan view and,profile view, respectively, of Crossing 7. Impacts to Jurisdictional Wetlands: Permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands total 0.3,13 acre and,are the result of the placement of fill for road crossings and building pad`s, and the conversion of forested wetlands to maintained Olmsted Subdivision Phase II August 28, 2014 Section 404 Individual Permit Application CWS.Proiect No. 2013 -3236 herbaceous wetlands in utility easements Impacts to Wetland AA associated with -road crossings total 0.07 acre and are shown on Figures 16 and 20 (attached). Impacts to Wetland DD are,associated with a,road crossing and total 0.05 acre and are shown on,Figure Sl (attached). Impacts to Wetland GG are the result of 'the placement of fill necessary to construct three, buildable lots These impacts total 0.16 acre and are shown on Figure 30 (attached). Figure 27 (attached) illustrates a plan view for a proposed aerial sewer crossing of Wetland AAPm which wetland fill is,needed for'the sewer footers. This aerial sewer crossing will result in the conversion of 0 032 acre of forested wetland to maintained herbaceous wetland, and approximately°0 0005 acre, of fill associated with the footers for the aerial sewer line Impacts are summarized it!

CWS requested that these permanent impacts be considered as temporary impacts. The sewer line crossings have been completed and are below the bed of the channel All hard stabilization (rip -rap) was removed from the channel, and stream banks and, impacted areas have been returned to their natural condition Compensatory Mitigation Construction of Phase H of the Olmsted Subdivision has limited permanent impacts to 300 linear feet of perennial stream channels, 692 linear feet of seasonal streams charrinel, and 0.313 acre of wetlands. All permanent impacts from previous phases of the project occurred within what'was then classified as unimportant intermittent stream channels, and were completed at a time when these impacts,did not require compensatory mitigation During a field meeting with Mr Steve Kichefski (USACE) and Mr. Alan Johnson (NCDWR) on July 29, 2014, it was determined that mitigation would be required.at a 2:1 ratio for Perennial RPWs and a 1 1 ratio for Seasonal RPWs with the exception of Seasonal RPW Stream T. Stream T was reviewed in the field and determined to have very low aquatic and ecological function. Mitigation will be required at a 2.1 ratio for permanent wetland impacts Total cumulative impacts and required mitigation for this project are summarized in Table 4, below- Olmsted Subdivision Phase II ; August 28, 2014 'Section 404 Individual Permit Application CWS Proiectallo. 2013 -3236 Table 4.

Channel Sinuosity: Straight _Occasional Bends _Frequent Meander X Very Sinuous _Braided Channel Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality. Total Score (from reverse): 65 Comments: fish, amphipods, crayfish Evaluator's Signature Date This channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in order to make a preliminary assessment of stream quality. The total score resulting from the completion of this form is subject to USACE approval and does not imply a particular mitigation ratio or requirement. Form subject to change — version 05/03.

Bright Carolina Wetland Services 550 E Westinghouse Blvd Charlotte,, NC 28273 Re- Request for Records Search Olmsted Subdivision.Phase IIB Huntersville, North Carolina Carolina Wetland Services Project No. 2008 -2419 Dear Ms. MacMartm and Mr. Bright- William G. Ross Jr, Secretary The NC Natural Heritage Program has three records of rare species and one Significant Natural Heritage Area within 2 kilometers of the project site shown on the map included with your letter dated 8 October 2008. Schweinitz's Sunflower (Hehanthus schweinitzii), US Endangered, NC Endangered. This population is located at the Trails End Post Oak Upland Significant Natural Heritage Area, a privately owned site along Trails End Lane (SR 2445), and is scattered in patches from 0.2 to 0.6 mile north of the Trails End Lane function with Asbury Chapel 'Road (SR 2442). Georgia Aster (Syniphyotrichum georgianum) — US Candidate, NC Threatened. This population is believed to be extirpated, but occurred in the same location with the Schweinitz's Sunflower population described above Carolina Darter — Central Piedmont Population (Etheostoma collis pop. 1) — US Federal Species of Concern, NC Special Concern. This population was found in the vicinity of the junction of Cane Creek and South Prong Clarke Creek and the lower part of Ramah Creek. 'Schweinitz's Sunflower and' Georgia Aster are plant species which have been known to take advantage of conditions that create openings in the canopy, including manmade disturbances such as roadsides and utility corridors. These species often persist in degraded habitat with an open canopy and periodic disturbance such as mowing. If your project area includes such habitat, surveys for these species are recommended. You may wish to consult with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the NC Plant Conservation Program, and/or the NC Wildlife Resources Commission if direct or indirect impacts are expected to affect rare species habitat, including Cane Creek, South Prong Clarke Creek, Ramah Creek, or their tributaries.

The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United States on the subject site, ,and the, permit applicant or other affected party who requested this preliminary JD, is hereby advised of his or,her option to request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) forthat site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in this instance and at this time. 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 approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional waters; (2,) that,the applicant has the option to request an approved' JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that 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) that 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) that undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as, soon as is practicable; (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 prelirriinary,JD constitutes agreement that all wetlands and other -water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes 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 approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will ,be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved' JD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be adrriinistratively�appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331,5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. 2 i This preliminary JD finds that there "may be "waters of the United States on the subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.

(CWS) was contracted by Eagle Engineering to provide a Protected Species Report for the approximately 450 -acre Oakvale property, located northeast of the intersection of Asbury Chapel Road and Eastfield Road in northern Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (see location map, enclosed). The results,,of this review are summarized below. A protected species review was conducted to determine the potential for the occurrence of animal and plant species formally proposed or listed as endangered or threatened by current Federal regulations [Federal Endangered,Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)] within,the subject property boundaries. The review consisted of a literature and records search, and'pedestrian observations performed by CWS biologists from January 24 through 28, 2005. The literature search included databases,and,literature available through the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the U.S'. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS),.as weltas, other independent sources. Observed plants were identified to the taxonomic level necessary to determine whether the observed specimen is protected. Plant species identified in this report follow taxonomy described by Radford; et al.' The site consists of woods, wooded drainages.(Ferrelltown Creek and tributaries), a dammed pond (Ferrelltown Lake), and several wetlands. The existing community is a Mexic Mixed Hardwood Forest2' (see Photograph A, enclosed). Dominant tree species include: American beech (Fagus grandifolia), southern red oak (Quercus falcata), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciva), loblolly ,pine (Pinus taeda), red cedar (Junipams virginiana), shagbark hickory (Catya ovata), red maple (Acer rubrum), and ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana): Shrub species observed' include: privet (Ligustrum spp.) and autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata). Herbaceous species observed include: Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) and heartleaf (Hexastylis arifolia). There are two maintained utility light -of -ways within the project limits-(see Photograph B, enclosed). A gas line right -of -way bisects the project area running, southwest- northeastthrough the center of the site. This' area i&disturbed, predominantly herbaceous, and early successional. Dominant vegetation in this right -of -way included privet, Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), blackberry (Rubus argutus), catbriar (Smilax sp.), 1 Radford, et al 1968 Manual of the Vascular Flora of the Carolinas.

'This`right -of =way has similar species to those in the gas line right -of -way with the addition of broomsedge bluestem (Andropogon virginicus) and winged elm (Ulmus alata). The NCNHP database lists four federally- endangered species in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina: the Carolina heelsplitter�(Lasrriigona decorata), smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevagata), Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schwv initzii), and Michaux',s sumac (Rhus michauxii) (Table 1): The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is also known from Mecklenburg County. This species is currently listed as federally- threatened. It was proposed for de- listing in 1999. One Candidate for federal listing, Georgia aster (Symphyotrichum georgianum),,has also been observed in this', county. Smooth coneflower and Michaux's sumac have not been observed in Mecklenburg County within the last 20 years. Candidate species (C) are not legally protected under the Act unless they are formally proposed or listed as endangered or threatened. However, because they may become formally proposed or listed during the,construction of this project, they were includ'ed:in this'survey. Table 1.

This bird nests in mature live pines or cypress trees in the transition zone between mature forests and,large�bodies of water. Nests are cone - shaped, 6 -8 feet'tall, and 6 feet or more, in diameter, and usually less than two miles from large bodies of open water. Winter roosts are usually in mature trees, similar to nesting trees, but may be somewhat farther from water. No potential nests or individual eagles were observed during the field review. Carolina heelsplitter The Carolina heelsplitter is listed in North Carolina and federally as Endangered (E). Although Historically sampled from streams and pond around Charlotte, there are no known populations of Carolina heelsplitter in Mecklenburg County. The Carolina heelsplitter is found in small to large streams and rivers with moderate current over a variety of substrates usually near stable, well- shaded stream banks. Most individuals are found in undercuts and along shaded banks, stabilized with extensive tree roots, a buried log; or rocks. The main stream channel may provide suitable habitat'for this species. It is relatively undisturbed and well- shaded with a moderate current and a variety of substrates. A single mussel shell was observed on this. channel downstream of Ferrelltown Lake. Prior to any construction that may impact this channel, CWS recommends that a mussel survey be conducted by a certified biologist. Georgia a aster The Georgia aster is a state - listed Threatened (T) species in North Carolina and listed federally as a Candidate species (C). This plant is'found in dry open woods, roadsides, another openings where current land management mimics natural disturbance regimes. This species is a good competitor with other early successional species, but tends to. decline when shaded by woody species. Suitable on -site habitat,for this�species is limited to the utility right -of -ways. There were no Georgia asters observed in these areas on the day of the field investigation. Smooth coneflower Smooth coneflower is listed in North Carolina and federally`as an Endangered (E) species. This,,plant is known from open wood's, cedar barrens, roadsides, dry limestone bluffs, utility right -of -ways, and other sunny to partly sunny locations on calcium -or magnesium -rich soils associated with limestone. This species occurs in xeric hardpan forests and diabase glades, as described by Shafale and Weakley (1990). Thersubject propel ty,does not include appropriate habitat and no individuals of this species were observed during the field review. Schweinitz's sunflower Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial herb limited to the Piedmont of North and.South Carolina. It is listed in North Carolina and federally as an Endangered (E) species. The typical habitat for this plant includes roadsides, old pastures, transmission linenght -of ways, open areas; and edges,of upland woods. The main unifying factors in all known sites where Schweinitz's sunflower appears is that the soils are thin, occur on upland interstream flats or gentle slopes, are clayey in texture (and often with substantial rock fragments), have a high shrink -swell capacity, and vary over the course of the year from very wet to -very dry. A known population of Schweinitz's sunflower is located less than a mile from the site. Potential habitat within the project area exists on the utility right -of -ways. There were ;- • February 2, 2005 Mr..Alan Sweet PageA no Schweinitz's sunflowers observed during the field review; however, prior to any construction in these areas, CWS recommends-that a survey be,conducted during the flowering season (September to frost). Michaux's sumac Michaux's sumac is a state- and federally - endangered species. This shrub is typically found growing on acidic sandy and rocky soils. It appears'to be dependent on some,form,of disturbance for maintenance of the open canopy and is found in openings or thin woods,along forest edges and maintained,right -of -ways. Michaux's sumac grows best in droughty, full sun areas that have limited competition from taller plants. This site lacks sandy and rocky soils. There were neither individuals of this species nor appropriate habitat observed during the field review. No protected species were identified within the subject project boundaries during the field.review. CWS is'pleased to provide this'Protected,Species Survey for the 450 -Acre Oakvale Property.
