Jerry,
This response is based on our telephone conversation today and the two emails you sent me. I am comfortable
with a "No Effect" conclusion for small whorled pogonia even with the survey being out of date. I am also
comfortable with a "No Effect" conclusion for Schweinitz's sunflower now that a new survey was conducted
with no observations of the species.

Jerry,
I stopped at U-6018 yesterday on the way back from another survey and conducted the Schweinitz's sunflower survey in
those areas with the most optimal habitat (photos attached). None was observed. I also had visited a reference site
earlier in the day yesterday to confirm the species was still flowering (it is).
This work was totally out of scope and I don't intend to seek any supplement unless you all come back and ask for more
permit assistance. Otherwise, I just wanted to take care of this item for you since USACE specifically asked for it to be
done before the end of October.

If you can get the sunflower survey done that would be great. Also, will you e-mail me the info that you sent to Dave
Bailey.

Thanks Jerry,
David Bailey acknowledged receiving my info earlier but I was not aware that you were waiting for other info as well. If
it would help, I am willing to perform the sunflower survey one day next week if it will help move the project forward for
you guys. I will be in the general area anyway one day for another project and will do it pro bono just to get it done by
the end of October.

Jeff,
NCDOT is still awaiting the response to Question # 1 in the first letterfrom the USACE representative requesting
additional information. Also, the sunflower survey has expired and NCDOT is working on obtaining a current survey. I am
cc'ing Robbie Weisz on this e-mail for any input he may have.

Jerry,
What happened here? Unfortunately, I have long been out of money on this project. I'm not going to be of much help
with any resubmittal without some sort of supplement if you need me.
Let me know

Jerry,
Please reference your Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) Form and attachments dated 8/16/2022, as well as our email
(see below) sent to you on 9/12/2022, requesting additional information on the proposed project to be submitted
within 30 days. Although we did receive a partial response to our request, information requested in items 1), 3), and 4)
of our request (see below) have not been submitted to date. Reference also the NC Division of Water Quality's letter,
dated 10/17/2022, returning your PCN as incomplete and requiring reapplication forthis project.
Given that we have not received the additional information necessary to proceed with your request within our required
timeframes, we now consider your PCN withdrawn. Based on our phone discussion yesterday, we look forward to your
re -submittal of the PCN and required documentation soon.
Please note that Department of Army (DA) authorization must precede any discharge of dredged or fill material in
waters of the US. If you have any questions please let me know.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey

Thank you for your PCN, dated 8/16/2022, for the above referenced project. I have reviewed the information and need
clarification before proceeding with verifying the use of Regional General Permit (RGP) 50 (https://saw-
reg.usace.army.mil/RGP/RGP50.pdf). Please submit the requested information below (via e-mail is fine) within 30 days
of receipt of this Notification, otherwise we may deny verification of the use of the Nationwide Permit or consider your
application withdrawn and close the file:
1. The project plans do not show enough detail to fully evaluate the proposed impacts or facilitate compliance
inspections upon permit issuance. Please provide zoomed -in views of all impact areas at a scale sufficient to
show both permanent and temporary impacts;
2. Section G.5 of the PCN references "detailed habitat assessments and performed surveys for Schweinitz's
sunflower and American chaffseed.... A USFWS Self -Certification was prepared and submitted to USFWS on June
6, 2019"; however, this documentation (survey information and Self -Certification letter) is not provided in the
PCN. Please provide this information to enable the Corps to either make a No Effect determination or facilitate
coordination with the USFWS for listed species in the Action Area. Further, according to USFWS IPaC, the species
listed for this portion of Guilford and Randolph counties includes small whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides);
please include the relevant information on that species as well.
3. To provide complete information pertaining to Section G.7 of the PCN, please provide NCDOT's typical historic
properties and archeological resources survey (or no survey required) documents for this project. This
information is necessary for the Corps to either make a No Potential to Effect determination or document that
coordination with the SHPO is complete.
4. Please provide any information documenting tribal coordination completed for this project.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dave Bailey
