4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
The Summit Ridge (AKA Archie Whitesides) site consists of Gaston County Tax Parcel Nos. 153793, 153794, 153796, 153799, and 153817 (approximately 37.5 acres), and is located
southeast of the W.Franklin Blvd and Archie Whitesides Rd intersection in Gastonia, North Carolina (Figures 1 and 2, Attachment A).
The project area consists of undeveloped forested areas, clear cut areas, maintained grassy areas, and a sewerline right-of-way. On site elevations range from 680-730 feet above mean
sea level (Figure 2). Land cover within the project area consists of deciduous forest, mixed forest, shrub/scrub, herbaceous areas, and woody wetlands. The surrounding land use consists
of undeveloped forested areas, single family homes, and commercial businesses. According to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service
(USDA-NRCS) Web Soil Survey of Gaston County (Figure 4) and the NRCS Published Soil Survey for Gaston County (Figure 5), on site soils consist of seven different soil types. Of the
on site soils listed on the Web Soil Survey, Chewacla and Helena soil series are listed as containing hydric inclusions. A review of the NWI GIS layer depicts a potential riverine system
across the southern portion of the project limits (Figure 6). FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer was reviewed for the project area (FEMA Panels 3710352500J. The northern portion of the
Archie Whitesides Site is located within the Area of Minimal Flood Hazard Zone. The southeastern portion of the project is located within the 1 % Annual Chance Flood Hazard Zone and
the Regulatory Floodway Zone (Figure 7). There are five jurisdictional waters of the U.S. located within the property. These waters consist of one jurisdictional wetland (Wetland AA), and
four jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A-D). The on -site jurisdictional features are depicted in Figure 8.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past? *
Yes No Unknown
If yes, please give the DWR Certification number or the Corps Action ID (exp. SAW-0000-00000).
General Permit Verification, SAW-2021-01026, dated 8.25.2021 is included in Attachment F.
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.38 ac.
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
3,275 perennial
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of this project is to develop the property into townhomes. The project will provide housing for Gastonia, North Carolina to meet the growing demand for housing due to rapid
population growth in the area.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
Under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 29, proposed stream impacts associated with this subdivision project are due to one road crossing (S1 and S2). The proposed impacts and
construction plan details are included in the Attachment C. The proposed impacts are described in detail below.
Stream Impacts (S1-S2)
To construct the proposed road crossing across Stream A, a culvert will be installed, resulting in 67 If of permanent impact, and permanent loss of waters (S1). A dewatering system will be
used to ensure all work is completed in the dry, and will result in 20 If of temporary impacts (S2). This impact is needed to cross Stream A at this location to meet driveway separation
distance per current fire code, and to maintain a safe site distance to the W Franklin Blvd. and Archie Whitesides Rd. intersection.
Typical heavy equipment will be used in grading operations (bulldozers, excavators, dump trucks, graders, etc.). After grading, fork lifts will be used for loading materials and access.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?*
Yes
Comments:
No Unknown
5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made?*
Preliminary Approved Not Verified Unknown N/A

Corps AID Number:

Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination, SAW-2021-01026, dated 8.25.2021 is included in Attachment F.
6. Future Project Plans
6a. Is this a phased project?*
Yes No
6b. If yes, explain.
There are plans to eventually develop the property to the east (Attachment C). This will require crossing the Stream D. A bottomless culvert is currently under consideration. If the project
will result in additional impacts to the waters of the U.S., a permit modification request will be submitted to the USACE and NCDEQ.
Are any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permits(s) used, or intended to be used, to authorize any part of the proposed project or related activity?

la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. The site plan has been designed to avoid
impacts to jurisdictional waters wherever possible and minimize the extent of necessary impacts to jurisdictional waters. The proposed permanent
impacts to jurisdictional waters associated with this project are minimal, totalling 67 If of stream channel.
Headwalls will be used at the culvert crossing to minimize impacts. The proposed culvert will be buried one foot below the existing grade to facilitate the
aquatic life movement. Stream banks will be stabilized using natural methods including live stake planting and seeding.
1 b. 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. Construction activities and impacts to
onsite jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will comply with all conditions of the Nationwide Permit No. 29 and Water Quality Certificate No. 4256. All work in
jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will be conducted in the dry. All temporary fill will be removed and disturbed areas will be returned to the predisturbance
contours.

Dear Mr. Olson,
Protected Species Habitat Assessment Report
Archie Whitesides
Gastonia, North Carolina
CWS Project No. 2021-0066
Development Solutions Group, LLC, has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to
provide a protected species habitat assessment for the Archie Whitesides project. The Archie
Whitesides project is approximately 37.5 acres in extent and is located southeast of the Archie
Whitesides Rd and W. Franklin Blvd. intersection in Gastonia, 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 Gaston County'. In addition, CWS
performed a data review using the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Data
Explorer2 on April 28, 2021 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 USFWS3 and
NCNHP4 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

Gaston County5 and aerial imagery were also reviewed for potential habitat of listed species
within the project vicinity (Figures 2 and 3).
Field Survey
CWS scientists, Megan Bollero, WPIT5, and Sarah Ellingson, Staff Scientist I, conducted a
pedestrian habitat assessment of the project area on April 28, 2021. 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}'.
Results
Based on the NCNHP data explorer review, there are no current occurrences of federally
protected species within a one -mile radius of the project limits (Attachment A). The USFWS
lists four federally protected species for Gaston County (Table 1). An official species list has not
been obtained from the USFWS Asheville Field Office.

Four terrestrial community types were identified within the project area during the field survey.
These community types consist of undeveloped forest, clear-cut areas, open grassy areas, and
woody wetlands (Figure 3). Of the identified on -site community types, the forested areas and
open grassy areas 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 (Hellanthus schwelnitzll)
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
1991.8 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 a one -mile radius of the project. A desktop review of the site was
conducted on April 28, 2021, and determined that the Cecil and Pacolet soil series that
have known Schweinitz's sunflower populations are found within the project limits. The
open grassy areas are potential habitat, but no Hellanthus species were observed during
the site visit on April 28, 2021 (Photographs 1-3). The forested areas within the project
limits do not provide adequate sunlight to support Schweinitz's sunflower (Photograph
4). The clear-cut areas are too disturbed to support Schwenitz's sunflower (Photograph
5). Due to the presence of potential habitat, CWS recommends a survey for this
species during the optimal survey window (late August - October; Attachment C).
Dwarf -flowered heartleaf (Hexastylis naniflora)
Habitat Description:
Dwarf -flowered heartleaf is endemic to the western Piedmont and foothills of North and
South Carolina. This herbaceous evergreen is found in moist to rather dry forests along
bluffs; boggy areas next to streams and creek heads; and adjacent hillsides, slopes, and
ravines. Requiring acidic, sandy loam soils, the species is found in soil series such as
Pacolet, Madison, and Musella, among others. Occurrences are generally found on a
north facing slope. Undisturbed natural communities such as Piedmont/Coastal Plain
Heath Bluff, Dry-Mesic Oak Hickory Forest, and Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest hold the
most viable occurrences. However, less viable remnant occurrences are found in
disturbed habitats, including logged, grazed, mown, and residential/commercial
developed lands; areas converted to pasture, orchards, and tree plantations; roadside
rights -of -way; and on upland slopes surrounding man-made ponds or lakes.9

Protected Species Assessment Report CWS Project No. 2021-0066
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. The desktop
review and field survey assessment determined that the Pacolet soil series associated
with the dwarf -flowered heartleaf is found in the eastern portion of the project limits The
stream side areas throughout the project limits are potential habitat for the
dwarf -flowered heartleaf (Photographs 6-9). The areas of potential habitat are shown in
Figure 3, but the majority of these areas will be avoided during construction (see the
attached site plan, Attachment ❑). The streamside area that will be disturbed during
construction lacks the soils commonly associated with dwarf -flowered heartleaf. In
addition, one side of the stream in this area is roadside, and the other side has been
cleared, which does not provide suitable habitat for dwarf -flowered heartleaf. No
individuals of dwarf -flowered heartleaf or other Hexastylls species were observed within
the area of proposed disturbance. As no individuals of dwarf -flowered heartleaf
were observed within the areas where the potential habitat and construction
disturbances overlap, CWS concludes that this project may affect, but is not likely
to adversely affect dwarf -flowered heartleaf.
Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrronalls)
The northern long-eared bat (NLEB) is one of the species of bats most impacted by the
white -nose syndrome disease. Summer habitat (roosting habitat) of the NLEB includes forests
and woodlots containing live trees and/or dead snags greater than three inches diameter at
breast height with cavities or crevices. Winter habitat (hibernacula) of the NLEB includes caves,
mines, rocky areas, or structures that mimic similar conditions such as culverts greater than
48-inch in diameter.10 The NLEB was listed as Threatened (T) on April 2, 2015.
The forested areas within the property are potential habitats for the NLEB. No culverts greater
than 48-inch were observed within the study area.
The Archie Whitesides project is within range of the NLEB,11. However, there are no known
hibernaculum within 0.25 miles from a site and no known occupied maternity roost within 150
feet. In addition, the forested areas are very small areas with only a few trees which would not
provide enough habitat for the NLEB.
In accordance with the final 4(d) rule (effective as of February 16, 2016), any incidental take that
may result from associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule. Therefore, the project as
proposed is exempt under the 4(d) rule.
Bald eagle (Hallaeetus 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.

Protected Species Assessment Report CWS Project No. 2021-0066
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 April 28, 2021 using 2021 color aerials. No water bodies
large enough or sufficiently open to be considered potential feeding sources were identified.
According to the NCNHP database, there are no current occurrences of this species within 1.0
mile of the project study area. Since there was no foraging habitat within the review area, a
survey of the project study area and the area within the project limits was not conducted. 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, as the site is located within an urban
landscape, 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 eagles. CWS has concluded that activities within the project
area will not directly or indirectly jeopardize the continued existence of bald eagles.
Potential habitat was observed within the project limits for the dwarf -flowered heartleaf.
However since no individuals of this species were observed within the areas where potential
habitat and construction disturbances overlap, CWS concludes that the project may affect, but
not likely to adversely affect dwarf -flowered heartleaf.
Potential habitats for Schweinitz's sunflower were observed within the project limits. CWS
recommends a survey for this species during the optimal survey window (Attachment C).
Based on the project area location, no tree removal activities will occur within a 150-foot radius
of a known, occupied NLEB maternity roost from June 1-July 31 and no trees will be removed
within 0.25 miles of a known hibernaculum at any time of year. Therefore, any incidental take
on NLEB that may result from associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule and
notifications will follow the SLOPES agreement13

Protected Species Assessment Report CWS Project No. 2021-0066
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. Should the lead federal agency agree with CWS's initial findings of no effect, then no
USFWS consultation is required to comply with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.
Should the lead federal agency's determination of effect differ from the findings of CWS, formal
or informal consultation with USFWS may be required.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide these services on this important project. Please do not
hesitate to contact Megan Bollero at 757-576-6433 or [e-mail] should you have any
questions or comments regarding this report.

RE: Archie Whitesides
Dear Megan Bollero:
Roy Cooper, Governor
D. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Walter Clark
Director, Division of Land and Water Stewardship
NCNHDE-14559
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 U5 Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httos://www.fws.gaov/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 rodnPy.butIPr( nrdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.

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

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 pennit applicant
has not requested an AJD for the activity, the perm it 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 "rnav 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 information:
