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 and a sewer line Right -of -Way. The surrounding land use consists of residential areas. On -site elevations range from 740-750 feet
above mean sea level (Figure 2). Land cover within the project area consists of deciduous forest and mixed forest. According to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural
Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Web Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County (Figure 4) and the NRCS Published Soil Survey for Mecklenburg County (Figure 5), on -site soils
consist of three different soil types. Of the on -site soils listed on the Web Soil Survey, Helena soil series is listed as containing hydric inclusions. A review of the NWI GIS layer depicts a
potential riverine system flowing through the center of the project limits and a potential freshwater pond in the northeastern portion of the project limits (Figure 6). FEMA National Flood
Hazard Layer was reviewed for the project area (FEMA Panels 3710458300K). The Harvest Hills Drive site is located within the Area of Minimal Flood Hazard Zone (Figure 7).
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
1.15 ac.
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
1,386 If perennial, 157 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 Charlotte North Carolina to meet the growing demand for housing
due to population growth.
41. 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 Stream A with a culvert. This would result in 101 If permanent stream impact (S1). Additionally, rip rap aprons will be
used up -and downstream of the culvert to prevent erosional forces from undermining the culvert (S2 - 38 If). The proposed culvert will be constructed in dry, utilizing a dewatering system.
The dewatering system will be within the footprint of the proposed riprap apron. The proposed culvert will be buried one feet below the existing grade. Headwalls were utilized to minimize
the proposed impact. The proposed site plan and culvert details are included in the Attachment D.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
0
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. T he original plan was to avoid all stream impacts by using a bottomless culvert. However, this option turned out
to be cost prohibitive. The proposed culvert will be buried one feet below the existing grade. Head walls were utilized to minimize the proposed impact
(Attachment D).
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.

Location description: The review area is located on the south side of Johnette Drive; approximately 0.1 miles east of the
intersection of Johnette Drive and Lawrence Orr Road. PINS; 103-221-30. Reference review area description shown in the
Jurisdictional Determination Request package entitled "Figure 1, Vicinity Map" and dated 10/13/21.
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 10/13/2021. 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-2022-00249
❑ 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 02/03/2022.
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 Mr. Drakeford,
Protected Species Habitat Assessment Report
Harvest Hills Drive
Charlotte, North Carolina
CWS Project No. 2021-0131
The Drakeford Company has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide a
protected species habitat assessment for the Harvest Hills Drive site. The Harvest Hills Drive
site is approximately 15 acres in extent and is located southwest of the Hickory Grove Road
and E WT Harris Blvd intersection in Charlotte, 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 Mecklenburg County'. In addition,
CWS performed a data review using the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP)
Data Explorer2 and Information for Planning and Consultation (IPAC) database' on January 10,
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

Mecklenburg 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 January 10, 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 current occurrences of federally
protected species within a one -mile radius of the project limits (Attachment A). The USFWS
lists seven federally protected species for Mecklenburg County (Table 1). 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 forested areas and a sewer line right-of-way
(Figure 3). Of the identified on -site community types, the forested areas and sewer line
right-of-way 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 January 10, 2022, and determined that the Cecil and Enon soil series that
have known Schweinitz's sunflower populations are located within project limits.
However, the entirety of the project site is forested with a sewer line right-of-way which
does not provide adequate sunlight to support Schweinitz's sunflower (Photographs 1-3).
In addition, the emergent wetlands are too wet to be suitable habitat for Schweinitz's
sunflower. Due to the lack of habitat and known occurrences, CWS concludes that this
project will have no effect on the Schweinitz's sunflower.
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.
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 slightly acidic which is not suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac. Additionally, there
are no current records of this species within Mecklenburg 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 (Lasmipona 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

Harvest Hills Drive January 14, 2022
Protected Species Assessment Report CWS Project No. 2021-0131
Biological Analysis:
There is one perennial stream within the study area (Stream A). The NCNHP data
record review revealed that there are no known current occurrences for this species
within the project limits, or within a one -mile radius of the project (Attachment A). Stream
A drains into Campbell Creek which drains into McAlpine Creek. According to North
Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, McAlpine has high levels of fecal
coliform, which is not conducive for Carolina heelsplitter habitat15. 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.
Rusty Patched Bumble Bee (Bombus affinis)
The Rusty patched bumble bee was listed as Endangered under the ESA in January 2016.16
Rusty patched bumble bees once occupied grasslands and tallgrass prairies of the Upper
Midwest and Northeast, but most grasslands and prairies have been lost, degraded, or
fragmented by conversion to other uses. According to USFWS guidance, "the rusty patched
bumble bee population has declined by approximately 90% or more. There are currently
records of Bombus affinis in isolated places within 13 states and 1 providence since 2000. In
these areas, surveys should only be completed by qualified biologists under the guidance of the
federal recovery/scientific permit under section 10(a)(1)(B) of the ESA. These surveyors must
also meet all applicable state permitting and reporting requirements. The presence of Bombus
affinis has been broken down into three zones. A high potential zone provides a reasonable
basis for describing where the species is likely to be present and where federal agencies and
others should consult with Fish and Wildlife Services to evaluate the potential effects of their
actions. A low potential zone buffers a high potential zone and is less likely to support existing
populations. Scientists are hopeful that some of these low potential areas may contain the bee,
and they recommend that surveyors obtain a scientific recovery permit. The third zone is the
unoccupied zone. Scientists believe that the likelihood of finding the species in these areas is
so low that they do not recommend scientific recovery permits, unless a Bombus affinis may
have accidentally been collected.17 According to USFWS' Rusty Patched Bumble Bee
Interactive Map, Mecklenburg County is located within an unoccupied zone. Therefore, the
proposed project will have no effect on the Rusty -patched bumble bee.
Northern long-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.18 The NLEB was listed as Threatened (T) on April 2, 2015.

Harvest Hills Drive January 14, 2022
Protected Species Assessment Report CWS Project No. 2021-0131
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 Harvest Hills Drive site is within range of the NLEB,19. 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,20 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 January 10, 2022, using 2021 color aerials. There are
no water bodies located within 1 mile of the Harvest Hills Drive site that are potentially 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 Schweinitz's sunflower, smooth coneflower, Michaux's sumac,
Carolina heelsplitter, or bald eagle. Additionally, the project area is not located within the
currently occupied range of the rusty -patched bumble bee. CWS has concluded that activities
within the project area will not directly or indirectly jeopardize the continued existence of
Schweinitz's sunflower, smooth coneflower, Michaux's sumac, Carolina Heelsplitter, bald eagle,
or rusty -patched bumble bee.
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.
Biological determinations requirements for federally protected species are summarized in Table

D_ Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
N CN H DE-16767
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,

❑ B Degraded (example: scattered trees)
❑ C Stream shading is gone or largely absent

19. Buffer Width — streamside area metric (skip for Tidal Marsh Streams)
Consider "vegetated buffer" and "wooded buffer" separately for left bank (LB) and right bank (RB) starting at the top of bank out
to the first break.

Herbaceous vegetation with or without a strip of trees < 10 feet wide
Maintained shrubs
Little or no vegetation
21. Buffer Stressors — streamside area metric (skip for Tidal Marsh Streams)
Check all appropriate boxes for left bank (LB) and right bank (RB). Indicate if listed stressor abuts stream (Abuts), does not abut but is
within 30 feet of stream (< 30 feet), or is between 30 to 50 feet of stream (30-50 feet).
If none of the following stressors occurs on either bank, check here and skip to Metric 22:

24. Vegetative Composition — streamside area metric (skip for Tidal Marsh Streams)
Evaluate the dominant vegetation within 100 feet of each bank or to the edge of the watershed (whichever comes first) as it contributes to
assessment reach habitat.
LB RB
❑ A ❑A Vegetation is close to undisturbed in species present and their proportions. Lower strata composed of native species,
with non-native invasive species absent or sparse.
®B ®B Vegetation indicates disturbance in terms of species diversity or proportions, but is still largely composed of native
species. This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clear -cutting or clearing or
communities with non-native invasive species present, but not dominant, over a large portion of the expected strata or
communities missing understory but retaining canopy trees.
❑ C ❑C Vegetation is severely disturbed in terms of species diversity or proportions. Mature canopy is absent or communities
with non-native invasive species dominant over a large portion of expected strata or communities composed of planted
stands of non -characteristic species or communities inappropriately composed of a single species or no vegetation.
