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 project area consists of undeveloped forested areas, herbaceous areas, and a sewerline right-of-way. Surrounding land use consists of residential development, commercial
properties, and agricultural fields. On site elevations range from 610-640 feet above mean sea level (Figure 2). Land cover within the project area consists of deciduous forest, mixed
forest, herbaceous areas, and woody wetlands.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Web Soil Survey of Union County (Figure 4) and the NRCS Published
Soil Survey for Union County (Figure 5), on -site soils consist of two different soil types. None of the on -site soils listed on the Web Soil Survey are listed as being hydric or containing
hydric inclusions.
A review of the NWI GIS layer depicts a potential riverine system along the southeastern project boundary, and a potential riverine system and freshwater pond in the northern portion of
the site (Figure 6). The Monroe Secrest Road site is located within the Area of Minimal Flood Hazard Zone (Figure 7). The on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are depicted in Figure 8
and consist of one wetland (Wetland AA), two intermittent streams (Streams A and B), one perennial stream (Stream C), and one freshwater pond (Pond A).
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
Yes No Unknown

The purpose of this project is to develop the property into a residential development. This project will provide housing for Monroe, 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 the Stream B with a culvert. This would result in 160 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. Head wall and retaining wall were utilized to minimize the proposed impact. The proposed site plan and culvert details are included in the Attachment D.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
20
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.
The original plan was to avoid all stream impacts by using the existing road. However, the site plan was adjusted to meet NCDOT and City of Monroe
requirements for two entrances. In order to meet the NCDOT standards, the second entrance was moved to the southeastern portion of the property,
necessitating crossing the intermittent Stream B.
The proposed culvert will be buried one feet below the existing grade. Head wall and retaining wall were utilized to minimize the proposed impact
(Attachment D).
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. 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.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?

the intersection of W. Roosevelt Boulevard and N. Rocky River Road. PIN: 09298068K. Reference review area description
shown in the Jurisdictional Determination Request package entitled "Figure No. 1, Vicinity Map" and dated 05/18/22.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 5/18/2022. Therefore
this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory
mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection
measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any
way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an
appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may
request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403).
However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are waters, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be
able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.

SAW-2022-01534
❑ The waters, including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by
the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. We strongly
suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once
verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided
there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
❑ The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Bryan Roden -Reynolds at 704-510-1440 or
brvan.roden-revnolds(a,u sace.armv.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination
form dated 07/13/2022.
D. Remarks: None
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site
identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security
Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request
a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

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 information:

Dear Ms. Ledbetter,
Protected Species Habitat Assessment Report
Secrest Price
Monroe, North Carolina
CWS Project No. 2022-0064
Taylor Morrison has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide a protected
species habitat assessment for the Secrest Price site. The Secrest Price site is approximately
22 acres in extent and is located northeast of the Highway 74 and Secrest Price Road
intersection in Union County, 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 Union 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 Explorer' on May 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

Union 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 Megan Bollero, WPIT7 and Amie Hoy, WPIT, conducted a pedestrian habitat
assessment of the project area on June 21, 2021 and May 18, 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)8.
Results
Based on the NCNHP data explorer review, there are no known occurrences of federally
protected species within a one -mile radius of the project limits (Attachment A). The USFWS
lists six federally protected species for Union 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 forested areas, forested wetland, open
herbaceous areas, and a maintained sewer line right-of-way (Figure 3). Of the identified on -site
community types, the forested areas and the open herbaceous 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 (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
1991.9 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 May 9, 2022, and determined that the Badin and Cid soil series that have
known Schweinitz's sunflower populations cover the entirety of the project limits. The
majority of the site consists of open herbaceous areas that may provide potential habitat
for Schweinitz's sunflower (Photograph 1). The sewer line right-of-way is intensively
maintained which does not provide habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower (Photograph 3).
The forested areas do not provide adequate sunlight to support Schweinitz's sunflower
(Photograph 4). This assessment was completed outside the optimal survey window for
this species and due to the presence of potential habitat, CWS recommends a survey
for this species during the optimal survey window (late August -October;
Attachment C).
Smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevipata)
Habitat Description:
Smooth coneflower is a tall, perennial herbaceous plant found in areas with abundant
sunlight where competition in the herbaceous layer is minimal. It has been federally
listed as Endangered under the ESA since 1992.1° Typical habitat for this plant includes
meadows, open woodlands, the ecotonal regions between meadows and woodlands,
cedar barrens, dry limestone bluffs, clear cuts, and roadside and utility rights -of -way. In
North Carolina, the species normally grows in magnesium- and calcium- rich soils
associated with gabbro and diabase parent material, and typically occurs in Iredell,
Misenheimer, and Picture soil series. It grows best where there is abundant sunlight, little
competition in the herbaceous layer, and periodic disturbances (e.g., regular fire regime,
well-timed mowing, careful clearing) that prevents encroachment of shade -producing
woody shrubs and trees. On sites where woody succession is held in check, it is
characterized by a number of species with prairie affinities.

Protected Species Assessment Report CWS Project No. 2022-0064
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 (Attachment A).
The forested areas and sewer line right-of-way within the project limits do not provide the
abundant sunlight the smooth coneflower requires. In addition, Iredell, Misenheimer,
and Picture soil series commonly associated with the smooth coneflower are not found
within the project limits." Due to the lack of habitat and known occurrences, CWS
concludes that this project will have no effect on the smooth coneflower.
Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii)
Habitat Description:
Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous shrub. It is densely hairy with compound leaves
exhibiting evenly -serrated leaflets. Flowers are small, greenish to white, in terminal
clusters. Fruits are red drupes produced from August to October. It has been listed as
an Endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) since 1989.12 It is
found on the coastal plains of Virginia to Florida, with most populations occurring in
North Carolina. It prefers sandy or rocky open woods with basic soils, as well as,
highway right-of-ways, roadsides, or edges of artificially -maintained clearings.
Biological Analysis:
A NCNHP data record review revealed that there are no current occurrences for this
species within the project limits (Attachment A). Disturbed open areas conducive to
early -successional species are not present in the project area. The on -site soil series
are moderately acidic which is not suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac. Additionally,
there are no current records of this species within Union County13. Due to the lack of
habitat and known occurrences, CWS concludes that this project will have no effect
on Michaux's sumac.
Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata)
Habitat Description:
The Carolina heelsplitter was historically known from several locations within the
Catawba and Pee Dee River systems in North Carolina and the Pee Dee and Savannah
River systems, and possibly the Saluda River system in South Carolina. In North
Carolina, the species is now known only from a handful of streams in the Pee Dee and
Catawba River systems. The species exists in very low abundances, usually within 6 feet
of shorelines, throughout its known range. The general habitat requirements for the
Carolina heelsplitter are shaded areas in large rivers to small streams, often burrowed
into clay banks between the root systems of trees, or in runs along steep banks with
moderate current. Recently, the Carolina heelsplitter has been found in sections of
streams containing bedrock with perpendicular crevices filled with sand and gravel, and
with wide riparian buffers.14

Secrest Price June 1, 2022
Protected Species Assessment Report CWS Project No. 2022-0064
Biological Analysis:
There is one perennial stream (Stream C) on -site which is a potential habitat for Carolina
heelsplitter (Photograph 5). Stream C flows into Stewarts Creek off -site. According to
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Stewarts Creek had exceeding
criteria of fair, poor, or severe bioclassification of benthos and Chlorophyll.15 The project
is not located within a designated critical habitat for this species. In addition, the stream
is heavily embedded with silt which is not a suitable habitat for Carolina heelsplitter.
Therefore, CWS concludes that this project will have no effect on the Carolina
heelsplitter.
Northern Iona -eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis)
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.16 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 Secrest Price site is within range of the NLEB,17. However, there are no known
hibernaculum within 0.25 miles from a site and no known occupied maternity roost within 150
feet.
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 (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act,18 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 and the area within a 1 mile radius of the
project limits, was performed on May 9, 2022, using 2021 color aerials. There are no water
bodies large enough or sufficiently open to be considered a potential feeding source.
According to the NCNHP database, there is no current occurrence 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, no suitable habitat was observed for
smooth coneflower, Michaux's sumac, Carolina heelsplitter, or bald eagle. CWS has concluded
that activities within the project area will not directly or indirectly jeopardize the continued
existence of smooth coneflower, Michaux's sumac, Carolina heelsplitter, or bald eagle.
Potential habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower was 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.

RE: Monroe Secrest; 2022-0064
Dear Amie Hoy:
Roy Cooper, Governor
D_ Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
NCNHDE-17921
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/Directory/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
