RE: Haywood Park Estates (+/- 21 Ac)
Nationwide Permit 29 and Individual Water Quality Certification Request
Action ID: SAW-2019-00485 / DWR# 19-0875
Henderson County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Davis and Mr. Wojoski,
The attached Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) is being submitted on behalf of Haywood Park,
LLC; represented by Luis Graef. The project site is approximately 21-acres and is composed of
Henderson County parcels: 9650069662, 9650161443, 9650163229, 9650164056, 9650164528,
9650165805, and 9650175207. Site is located 3676 Haywood Road in Hendersonville, North
Carolina (35.3653605,-82.5179424).
The residential development that was permitted in 2019 was started but not completed. None of
the permitted impacts to waters on site appear to have been conducted. Tree clearing and
associated ground disturbance has led to increased wetland area on the site. The current site
plan is nearly identical layout to the previously permitted project.
The current applicant is seeking a Nationwide Permit 29 and corresponding individual water
quality certification for wetland and stream impacts associated with residential development of
this tract.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 828-698-9800 if you have any questions regarding the
attached application and supplemental information. A copy of this application has been sent via
email to Mr. Andrew Moore, NC Division of Water Resources (Asheville Office); and Mr. Byron
Hamstead, US Fish & Wildlife Service (Asheville Office), and Ms. Andrea Leslie, NC Wildlife
Resources Commission.
Sincerely,
Tyson Kurtz

PCN Form Additional Information
Section B.3e Project Description - Details
The project proposes 20 lots for single-family residential houses, one new road, and on -site water
and sewer utility line extensions. An existing road and cul-de-sac are located along the western
side of the project site (see Figures 3 and 5). An extension of the existing road is proposed to
access the lots proposed in the northern corner of the site. To access the proposed lots on the
eastern half of the site, a second access road is proposed.
This current site layout is nearly identical to the previously permitted site plan in 2019 (see Section
B.5b, Figure 5, and Appendix A). The previously permitted plan was approved by Henderson
County Technical Review Committee and an Erosion Control Permit was issued.
However, the previously permitted site plan was never built and none of the proposed impacts to
waters appear to have been conducted. Tree clearing was conducted for the permitted project
along the east side of the central stream (currently called SA) and the proposed road corridor on
the west side of SA (compare Figure 3.0 and 3.1). Tree clearing and ground disturbance has
altered the hydrology, ground surface, and vegetation structure which resulted in increased
wetland acreage on site.
The tree clearing on the east side of SA appears to have resulted in an elevation of the ground
water table surrounded wetland A (WA). This wetland was verified as 0.02 acres on April 25, 2019
(also called WA) but is now 0.156 acres as of this submittal. The 2019 wetland was limited to the
ditch line, but now extends approximately 200 feet upslope of the ditch and a couple feet on either
side of the ditch. Silt fencing was left in place along the central stream and retains surface water
in the recently formed wetland area upslope of the ditch.
Based on historic aerial imagery, a gravel access road was installed on the east side of the stream
to allow tree clearing equipment to access the proposed road alignment. Trees were cleared and
the ground surface was severely disturbed. As verified in 2019, the current wetland B (WB) was
not present. WB appears to have formed as the ground surface was manipulated, altering
overland flow towards the compacted, low spot surrounding the access ramp. This area now
meets USACE wetland criteria and the formerly verified wetlands WB and WD have since dried
out or reduced in size with the altered landscape (Compare to current delineation map —Appendix
C).
Due to the current site plan being nearly identical to the previously permitted one that wasn't
required to mitigate for wetland impacts, and the start of that project leading to creation of larger
wetland areas, the applicant respectfully requested a 1:1 mitigation ratio for the proposed
permanent wetland impacts. The NC Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM) method rated both
current WA and WB as "Low" functional ratings. These wetlands contain mostly herbaceous
vegetation with only pockets of young willows, tag alder, and other scrub shrub vegetation.
A Nationwide Permit 29 and associated Individual Water Quality Certification are requested to
authorize these impacts.
Installation of the water and sewer utility line stream crossings will be conducted "in the dry"
(Figure 5.0-5.1). Vegetated stream bank stabilization details for the utility line crossings are
provided on Figure 5.2. Due to the degree of stream channel incision and active bank failure, hard

bank stabilization measures may be used instead of vegetated stabilization to ensure bank
stability.
Typical construction equipment will be used on site including bulldozers, excavators, dump trucks,
etc.
Section B.5b Project History - Details
A written Water Quality Certification (DWR# 19-0875) was issued on November 8, 2019, for 0.090
acres of permanent wetland impact, 0.010 acres of temporary wetland impact, and 25 linear feet
of temporary stream impacts associated with residential development and associated utility line
crossings. See Appendix A for a copy of the WQC and impact plan sheets.
A corresponding Nationwide Permit was issued by the USACE around the same time but is
unavailable to the applicant.
These permits have expired, and it does not appear that any of the authorized temporary or
permanent impacts to waters on site have been conducted.
Section D.la Avoidance and Minimization - Design
The project design avoids permanent impacts to 100% of streams on site and 0.051 acres of 404-
regulated wetland (10% of wetlands on site).
An on -site alternative was considered where a road crossing would be constructed over the
central stream in lieu of a secondary access road to NC Highway 191 on the east side of the
central stream. This alternative would have resulted in a permanent stream crossing impact and
would have still required filling most of the low functional quality wetland that has recently formed
in the alignment of the proposed secondary road. Additionally, the stream crossing alternative
would create ground disturbance and built upon area inside the WS-IV buffer. Therefore, this
alternative was dismissed.
Section F.5d Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat — Sources
A threatened and endangered species review and habitat assessment is included in Appendix E.
In summary, potentially suitable summer habitat for the northern long-eared bat is present in the
forested areas along the central stream but the project satisfies the 4(d) rule and consultation for
effects on the northern long-eared bat is not required. Potentially suitable habitat was identified
on site in the northeast corner of the confluence of stream A and stream B. This area will be
avoided by the proposed development. Therefore, it is the opinion of Clearwater that this project
would not adversely affect small whorled pogonia.
Potentially suitable summer habitat for the tricolored bat is also present in the forested areas
around the central stream; however, this species is not formally listed at this time and no formal
management guidelines are in place. No suitable habitat was observed on site for any other
federally protected species known to potentially occur within the vicinity of the project site.
Therefore, it is of the opinion of ClearWater that this project will not adversely affect federally
protected species potentially occurring within the project area.

Section F.7b. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources — Sources
Two historic sites are within a one -mile radius of the project site. Moss -Johnson Farm; Site ID:
HN0043 (Status NR) is located approximately 0.5 miles southeast of the project site. Allen -
Jamison House; Site ID: HN0248 (Status DOE) is approximately 0.75 miles southeast of the
project site. Data gathered from NCHPO's HPOWEB 2.0 for General Audience. Accessed
November 17, 2022.
These two sites would not be within the viewshed of the proposed residential development.
Additionally, the proposed residential development is consistent with the other residential
developments surrounding these two historic sites.

Action ID: SAW-2019-00485 County: Henderson U.S.G.S. Quad: Horseshoe
NOTIFICATION OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERNIINATION
Property Owner: Spano&_ Associates Haywood, LLC / Attn.: Ralph Spano
Address: 1540 International Parkway, Suite 200
Lake Mary, FL 32746
Telephone Number: 407-936-2186
Size (acres): 18.48 Nearest Town. Hendersonville
Nearest Waterway: UTs Mill Pond Creek Coordinates: 35.36500 N, 82.51787 W
River Basin/ 14UC: Upper French Broad (06010105)
Location description: The project site is located on a tract of land (PINS 9650-06-9662, 9650-16-1443, 9650-16-4056,
9650-16-3229 9650-16-4528, 9650-16-5805, and 9650-17-5207) of seven adioininz lots alone Haywood Park Drive
and Hayffood Road north and east of the intersection of Hayffood.Park Drive andItaywood Road in
Hendersonville Henderson County, North Carolina.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
X_ There are waters, including wetlands, on the above described project area, 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. 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 3D, which is an
appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
There are wetlands on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the CIean 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 overall 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 of the U.S, on your 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 propertysubject 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 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 waters of the U.S. including wetlands on the above described 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 of the U.S. on your 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.
_ The waters of the U.S. including wetlands on your project area have been delineated and the delineation has been
verified by the Corps. If you wish to have the delineation surveyed, the Corps can review and verify the survey upon

completion. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA and/or RHA
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 of the U.S. including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat
signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on . 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 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 to determine their requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US and/or 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 David Brown at
828-271-7980, ext. 42h or [e-mail].
C. Basis for Determination:
See attached preliminary jurisdictional determination form.
D. Remarks:
The potential waters of the U.S., at this site, were verified on -site by the Corps on April 9, 2019, and are as
approximately depicted on the attached Delineation Map (dated March 5, 2019) submitted by McGill Associates.
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 (AID) 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.
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 traat
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 teams 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
PID; (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 PID
constitutes agreement that al l 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 ofjurisdictional 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 a13 aquatic features in the review area that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Z Other information (please specify): The site contains wetlands as determined by the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. Eastern
Nfountain and Piedmont Region (Version 2.0). These wetlands are abutting to stream channels located at the site and
flow into the channels. Wetland hydrology is enhanced with the abutting stream channels via normal down gradient
flows and periods of high water.
The streams on the property are UTs Mill Pond Creek and all exhibit physical ordinary high water mark (OHWM)
indicators including, break in slope; developed bed and bank; changes in sediment texture and soil character; natural
line impressed on the bank; shelving; absence of vegetation; leaf litter washed away; sediment deposition and sorting;
presence of aquatic life; water staining; presence of debris; and scour. Some of the streams are depicted as solid blue
lines on the USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle map Horseshoe and the most current Natural Resource Conservation
Service Soil Survey for Henderson County. Solid blue line features on these mapping conventions typically represent
perennial streams.
The UTs Mill Pond Creek flow into Mill Pond Creek, which flows into the French Broad River, a traditional
navigable water. The French Broad River merges with the Holston River to form the Tennessee River. The Tennessee
River flaws into the Ohio River then to the Mississippi River before entering the Gulf of Mexico.

Jurisdictional wetlands and waters identified on this map have been located within sub- N
meter accuracy utilizing a Trimble mapping grade Global Positioning System (GPS) and
the subsequent differential correction of that data. GPS points may demonstrate
uncorrectable errors due to topography, vegetative cover, and/or multipath signal error.
Note: The illustrated wetland and stream locations are approximate. These areas have
been flagged in the field; however, they have not been surveyed. Although ClearWater
Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) is confident in our assessment, the US Army

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The following report includes methods used and results for a threatened and endangered
species survey and habitat assessment for Haywood Park Estates. The project site
occupies approximately 21 acres off Haywood Park Drive in Hendersonville, Henderson
County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The site ranges in elevation from 2,092 feet to 2,142
feet above mean sea level (MSL) (Figure 2).
The threatened and endangered species survey was conducted to determine the
occurrence of or the potential for existence of federally listed threatened and endangered
animal and plant species, in addition to the bald eagle, within the study area (Figure 3).
Completion of this survey was directed by and complies with three current state and
federal regulations: the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543),
the North Carolina Endangered Species Act (N.C.G.S. Sect. 113 article 25), and the North
Carolina Plant Protection and Conservation Act of 1979 (N.C.G.S. Sect. 19b 106: 202.12-
22 ).
2.0 METHODOLOGY
The protected species surveys and habitat assessment was conducted on August 25-26,
2022, on the approximately 21-acre project by ClearWater, an EnviroScience Company
(ClearWater) to determine the potential for occurrences of animal and plant species listed
as endangered or threatened by current federal regulations, in addition to the bald eagle.
An official species list was obtained through the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
Information and Planning and Consultation (IPaC) on August 24, 2022, this species list
provides existing data concerning the presence or potential occurrence of threatened or
endangered species in the defined project boundary (Figure 3). The USFWS lists seven
federally threatened and endangered species, in addition to the bald eagle and bog turtle
(threatened due to similar appearance), as occurring or potentially occurring in the project
boundary.

state listed species in Henderson County, North Carolina within a one -mile radius of the
site (Appendix A).
The NHP indicates one element occurrence (EO) of mountain sweet pitcher plant and one
EO for Appalachian elktoe within one mile of the project site. No other threatened or
endangered species EOs were found in the NHP database as occurring within one mile
of the project boundary.
The low -accuracy EO for the mountain sweet pitcher plant is historic and is documented
by the NHP as destroyed (Rank X). The 2021 EO for Appalachian elktoe is in the French
Broad River, located approximately 1.6 miles downstream, following Mill Pond Creek from
the unnamed tributary within the project site.
During pedestrian field surveys conducted by ClearWater biologists, site habitats were
identified and compared with recognized habitats for nine federally protected species
potentially occurring on the site. Potential flora were identified to the taxonomic unit level
necessary to determine if the observed specimen was a protected species.
3.0 HABITAT CLASSIFICATION
During our site visit on May 25, 2022, ClearWater biologists identified five habitats within
the project site: bottomland forest, acidic oak -hickory forest, scrub shrub field, scrub shrub
wetland, and bottomland wetland (Figure 4). A general overview of the site and
descriptions of each habitat type are included below.
The project site is approximately half forested and half non -forested. The forested area
occupies the bottomland and riparian corridor along the central stream. One section of
acidic oak -hickory forest occupies a hillside upslope of the stream confluence. The non -
forested areas appear to have been clear cut approximately two or three years ago and
are now scrub -shrub habitat with pockets of wetlands in the low-lying areas.
The two unnamed tributaries to Mill Pond Creek on are site are incised approximately
three to five feet and have numerous failing banks. The lower half of the stream lacks
mature trees on the right bank where bank failure is more prevalent. Dense thickets of
multiflora rosa (Rosa multiflora) and kudzu (Pueraria montana) encroach the stream. The
substrate of the streams is mostly sand and gravel and appears to be a factor of excessive
sedimentation.
3.1 Bottomland Forest
The forested riparian areas are dominated by mature trees, with dense
understories containing a mixture of invasive and native shrubs. The dominant
canopy tree species observed are red maple (Acer rubrum), tulip poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera), and white pine (Pinus strobus). Additional trees observed
include American beech (Fagus grandifolia), sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum),
black cherry (Prunus serotina), northern red oak (Quercus rubra), river birch
(Betula nigra), and white oak (Q. alba). The dense shrub layer is dominated by
multiflora rose, Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), American holly (Ilex opaca),
and black gum (Nyssa sylvatica). Additional shrubs observed include flowering
dogwood (Corpus florida), silky dogwood (C. amomum), willow oak (Quercus
phellos), tag alder (Alnus serrulata), autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellate),
Clearwater, an EnviroScience Company Page 3
Project #16629 — Haywood Park Estates

elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), boxwood (Buxus sempervirens), chestnut
(Castanea sp.), pignut hickory (Carya glabra), and rhododendron (Rhododendron
maximum). The herbaceous stratum is also dense and is dominated by Christmas
fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), panic grass (Dichanthelium spp.), yellow root
(Xanthorhiza simplicissima), New York fern (Thelypteris noveboracensis), English
ivy (Hedera helix), hog peanut (Amphicarpaea bracteata), and soft rush (Juncus
effuses). Additional herbaceous species observed include Carolina elephant's foot
(Elephantopus carolinianus), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica),
cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea), royal fern (O. regalis), and joe pye weed
(Eutrochium sp.). The vine layer is also dense and composed of English ivy,
roundleaf greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), porcelain berry (Ampelopsis
glandulosa), ground nut (Apios americana), and kudzu along the highway.
3.2 Acidic Oak -Hickory Forest
Above the floodplain in the northeast corner of the project site the hillside is
occupied by an oak -hickory forest underlain by acidic soil. Tree species observed
include white pine, multiple hickories (Carya spp.), and sourwood. The understory
contains mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia), white pine, highbush blueberry
(Vaccinium corymbosum), azalea (Rhododendron sp.), and huckleberry
(Gay/ussacia sp.). The sparse herbaceous layer was observed to contain Indian
cucumber root (Medeola virginiana), galax (Galax urceolata), and rattlesnake
plantain (Goodyera pubescens).
3.3 Scrub Shrub Field
The entire area west of the stream and a corridor to the east of the stream were
recently clear cut. These areas are currently early successional, dense, scrub
shrub habitat. The wetland areas within the scrub shrub fields are described in the
following sections.
Saplings are mixed in with a dense layer of invasive and native species. Multiflora
rose and Bradford pear (Pyrus calleryana) dominant the moderately dense shrub
stratum. Sparse cover of black locust (Robinia psuedoacacia) and thorny olive
(Elaeagnus pungens) are also present. The herbaceous layer varies in diversity
across the site but dense patches of goldenrod (Solidago spp.), Japanese
honeysuckle, Chinese lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), blackberry (Rubus sp.),
Chinese silver grass (Miscanthus sinense), and kudzu are present throughout.
Additional herbaceous species observed include panic grasses, pokeberry
(Phytolacca americana), Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), soft rush,
Japanese honeysuckle, Christmas fern, poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and
porcelain berry.
3.4 Scrub Shrub Wetland
The wetland within the scrub shrub field contains the same vegetation structure,
but a different suite of species adapted to the semi -permanently saturated and or
inundated conditions of the wetland. In general, this wetland complex follows a
ditch line cut through the field that converges with the stream near the highway. In
several areas, abandoned silt fencing appears to retain the wetland. Soils in the
wetland are compacted and mineral based.
Clearwater, an EnviroScience Company Page 4
Project #16629 — Haywood Park Estates

The shrub layer is composed of sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), black willow
(Salix nigra), multiflora rose, pussy willow (S. discolor), and tag alder. The diverse
herbaceous layer varies based on hydroperiod and no one species is dominant
across this wetland habitat. Observed herbaceous species include broadleaf
cattail (Typha latifolia), blackberry, jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), goldenrod,
soft stem bullrush (Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani), Allegheny monkeyflower
(Mimulus ringens), sallow sedge (Carex lurida), Japanese stiltgrass, multiple
rushes (Juncus spp.), woolgrass (Scirpus cyperinus), broadleaf arrowhead
(Sagittaria latifolia), Virginia meadow beauty (Rhexia virginica), water purslane
(Ludwigia palustris), dwarf St. John's wort (Hypericum mutilum), Japanese
honeysuckle, great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica), blunt spikerush (Eleocharis
obtusa), seedbox (Ludwigia alterniflolia), nutsedge (Cyperus sp.), multiple
smartweeds (Persicaria spp.), boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum), cardinal flower
(Lobelia cardinalis), and bugle weed (Lycopus virginicus).
3.5 Bottomland Wetland
In the southeast corner of the site there are two wetlands partially within the recent
clear-cut area. These wetlands lack the shrub component of the scrub shrub
wetland habitat and have a less diverse herbaceous layer. The herbaceous layer
of these wetlands contains Japanese stiltgrass, golden ragwort (Packera aurea),
rice cut grass (Leersia oryzoides), blackberry, poison ivy, agrimony (Agrimonia
sp.), cinnamon fern, and swamp aster (Symphyotrichum puniceum),

4.0 PROTECTED SPECIES
The following is a brief description of each federally listed species included in the survey,
its recognized habitat, and comments regarding survey results for that species.
4.1 Appalachian Elktoe
Federally listed as endangered, the Appalachian elktoe (Alismidonta raveniliana) has
a thin but not fragile, kidney -shape shell, reaching up to about 3.2 inches in length,
1.4 inches in height, and 1.0 inch wide (Clarke 1981). Juveniles generally have a
yellowish -brown periostracum (outer shell surface) while the periostracum of the
adults is usually dark brown to greenish -black in color. Although rays are
Clearwater, an EnviroScience Company Page 5
Project #16629 — Haywood Park Estates

prominent on some shells, particularly
in the posterior portion of the shell,
many individuals have only obscure
greenish rays. The shell nacre (inside
shell surface) is shiny, often white to
bluish -white, changing to a salmon,
pinkish, or brownish color in the central
and beak cavity portions of the shell;
some specimens may be marked with
irregular brownish blotches (adapted
from Clarke 1981). Only two
populations of the species are known to survive. The healthiest of these
populations exists in the main stem of the Little Tennessee River between Emory
Lake at Franklin, Macon County, North Carolina, and Fontana Reservoir in Swain
County, North Carolina. The second population occurs in the Nolichucky River
system. The Appalachian elktoe has been reported from relatively shallow,
medium-sized creeks and rivers with cool, well -oxygenated, moderate- to fast -
flowing water. It has been observed in gravelly substrates often mixed with cobble
and boulders, in cracks in bedrock, and occasionally in relatively silt -free, coarse,
sandy substrates (Department of the Interior 1994).
Suitable habitat for Appalachian elktoe is not present within the study area. The
unnamed tributaries to Mill Pond Creek are too small to support Appalachian
elktoe. Additionally, the streams on site are degraded with failing banks, channel
incisions, and excessive sedimentation. It is the opinion of ClearWater that the
proposed project would have no effect on the Appalachian elktoe.
4.2 Bald Eagle
Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) were removed from the endangered
species list in August 2007 because their populations recovered sufficiently. Bald
and Golden eagles are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and
the Bald and Golden Eagle Act (Eagle Act)
Distinguished by a white head and white tail feathers, bald eagles are powerful,
brown birds that may weigh 14 pounds and have a wingspan of 8 feet. Male eagles
are smaller, weighing as much as 10 pounds and have a wingspan of 6 feet.
Sometimes confused with golden eagles, bald eagles are mostly dark brown until
they are four to five years old and acquire their characteristic coloring.
Bald eagles live near rivers, lakes, and marshes where they can find fish, their
staple food. Bald eagles will also feed on waterfowl, turtles, rabbits, snakes, and
other small animals and carrion. Bald eagles require a good food base, perching
areas, and nesting sites. Their habitat includes estuaries, large lakes, reservoirs,
rivers, and some seacoasts. In winter, the birds congregate near open water in
tall trees for spotting prey and night roosts for sheltering.
Based on a desktop review using 2019 aerial imagery, there are two potentially
suitable feeding sources for bald eagles were identified within a one -mile radius of
the project boundary: an approximately 6.5-acre impoundment of Marston Creek
and the French Broad River. Bald eagles typically nest within 1-mile of suitable
Clearwater, an EnviroScience Company Page 6
Project #16629 — Haywood Park Estates

feeding sources. ClearWater biologist conducted a foot survey of the project site
to identify possible bald eagle nests due to the proximity of potential feeding
sources.
No bald eagle nests were observed within the project boundary. It is the opinion of
ClearWater that the proposed project is not likely to disturb nesting bald eagles.
4.3 Bog Turtle
The bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii) is federally listed as threatened in North
Carolina. This is the smallest emydid turtle, and one of the smallest turtles in the
world. Adult carapace length is 7.9 to 11.4 cm (3.1 to 4.5 inches). The dark brown
or black carapace may be marked with radiating light lines or a light blotch on the
vertebral and pleural scutes. Scute annuli are usually prominent in juvenile and
young adult specimens, but the carapace may be nearly smooth in old adults. The
head, neck, and limbs are typically dark brown with variable reddish to yellow spots
and streaks. A large reddish -orange to yellow blotch is visible behind and above
each tympanum, sometimes merging into a continuous band on the neck. The
upper jaw is weakly notched. The plastron is brown or black, but often with lighter
yellow blotches towards the medial and anterior scute edges. A mature male bog
turtle has a concave plastron and a long, thick tail, with the vent posterior to the
rear edge of the carapace with tail extended. The female has a flat plastron and a
thinner, smaller tail, with the vent at or beneath the rear carapace edge.
The southern population of the bog turtle, ranging from southern Virginia to
northern Georgia, is also protected with a threatened designation because its
physical appearance is similar to the northern population. The southern bog turtle
population is separated from the northern population by approximately 250 miles.
However, individual bog turtles in the southern population closely resemble
individuals in the northern bog turtle population, causing difficulty in enforcing
prohibitions protecting the northern population. Therefore, the USFWS has
designated the southern population as "threatened (similarity of appearance)."
This designation prohibits collecting individual turtles from this population and bans
interstate and international commercial trade. It has no effect on land management
activities of private landowners in southern states where the bog turtle lives.
Potentially suitable habitat for bog turtle was not found on site. The wetlands on
site contain compacted, loamy clay soils and lack the microtopographic structure
required for breeding and nesting habits of the bog turtle. Furthermore, the
northern population of bog turtle does not occur in North Carolina. It is of the
opinion of ClearWater that the proposed project would have no effect on the
northern bog turtle.
4.4 Bunched arrowhead
Bunched arrowhead (Sagittaria fasciculata) is a small herbaceous plant growing
15 - 16 inches tall in saturated soils. It's the only Sagittaria species in the Southern
Appalachians that does not have arrowhead -shaped leaves. Emergent leaves are
broad and tapered at the tip and up to 12 inches long and 1 — 2 inches wide. The
white flowers begin blooming in mid -May and continue through July. The fruits
mature a few weeks after flowering.
Clearwater, an EnviroScience Company Page 7
Project #16629 — Haywood Park Estates

Bunched arrowhead occurs in undisturbed
sites that are typically located just below the
origin of slow, clean, continuous seeps on
gently sloping terrain in deciduous woodlands.
Bunched arrowhead is known from the upstate
of South Carolina and southwestern North
Carolina.
Potentially suitable habitat for bunched
arrowhead was not observed on site. The
wetlands on site contain compacted loam clay soils and were recently clear cut.
The wetlands are not seepy headwater wetlands. The only Sagittaria species
observed on site is the broadleaf arrowhead (Sagittaria lattifolia), which was
observed in the ditched area of the scrub shrub wetland.
It is the opinion of ClearWater that the proposed project would have no effect on
the bunched arrowhead.
4.5 Gray Bat
The gray bat (Myotis grisescens) is the largest member of its genus in the eastern
United States. Its forearm measures 40-46 mm, and it weighs from 7-16 grams. It
is easily distinguished from all other bats within its range by its mono -colored fur.
All other eastern bats have distinctly bi-or tri-colored fur on their backs. Following
molt in July or August, gray bats are dark gray, but they often bleach to chestnut
brown or russet between molts (especially apparent in reproductive females during
May and June). The wing membrane connects to the foot at the ankle rather than
at the base of the first toe, as in other species of Myotis. Gray bats roost in caves
year-round. Most winter caves are deep and vertical; all provide large volume
below the lowest entrance and act as cold air traps. A much wider variety of cave
types are used during spring and fall transient periods. In summer, maternity
colonies prefer caves that act as warm air traps or that provide restricted rooms or
domed ceilings that are capable of trapping the combined body heat from
thousands of clustered individuals.
No naturally occurring suitable habitat (caves) for the gray bat was observed on
this site. It is of the opinion of ClearWater that this project would have no effect on
the gray bat.
4.6 Mountain Sweet Pitcher Plant
Mountain sweet pitcher plant (Sarracenia rubra ssp. jonesii) is a carnivorous
perennial herb with tall, hollow pitcher -shaped leaves and red sweet-smelling
flowers. The hollow leaves contain liquid and enzymes. When insects fall into the
pitchers, they are digested, and the nutrients are incorporated into the plant's
tissues. The evolutionary role of carnivory in such plants is not fully understood,
but some evidence indicates that absorption of minerals from insect prey may allow
carnivorous species to compete in nutrient -poor habitats. The unusual red flowers
(yellow in rare cases) appear from April to June, with fruits ripening in August.
Flowering plants reach heights of 29 inches. Very little specific information is
Clearwater, an EnviroScience Company Page 8
Project #16629 — Haywood Park Estates

available on the biology of the mountain sweet pitcher plant. Like other pitcher
plants, it has rhizomes that are probably long-lived and capable of persisting and
reproducing vegetatively for decades without producing seedlings.
Potentially suitable habitat for the mountain sweet pitcher plant was not observed
on site. No mountain bogs are present. It is the opinion of ClearWater that the
proposed project would have no effect on the mountain sweet pitcher plant.
4.7 Northern Long-eared Bat
The Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis) is a medium-sized
bat about 3 to 3.7 inches in length but with a wingspan of 9 to 10 inches. As its
name suggests, this bat is distinguished by its long ears, particularly as compared
to other bats in its genus, Myotis, which are bats noted for their small ears (Myotis
means mouse -eared). The NLEB is found across much of the eastern and north
central United States and all Canadian provinces from the Atlantic coast west to
the southern Northwest Territories and eastern British Columbia. NLEBs spend
winter hibernating in caves and mines, called hibernacula. They typically use large
caves or mines with large passages and entrances; constant temperatures; and
high humidity with no air currents. Summer habitat for the NLEB consists of the
cavities, hollows, cracks, or loose bark of live or dead trees typically greater than
three inches DBH (diameter at breast height).
No naturally occurring suitable wintering habitat for the NLEB exists within the
property boundary. The forested riparian area around the streams is considered
potentially suitable summer habitat for NLEB.
ClearWater consulted the FWS's interactive mapper for watersheds (HUC 12) in
North Carolina known to contain hibernation or maternity sites for NLEB. The
project site is approximately 10 miles from a documented NLEB occupied
watershed. Because the project parcel is greater than 0.25 miles from a known
hibernaculum and greater than 150 feet from a known maternity roost tree, this
project satisfies the 4(d) rule and consultation with US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) is not required.
However, on March 23, 2022, the USFWS published a proposal to reclassify NLEB
as endangered. The USFWS is ordered to complete their new final listing
determination for NLEB by November 2022. If NLEB is reclassified as endangered,
the current 4(d) rule for NLEB would be removed. This may result in new
consultation requirements with USFWS and lead to stricter limitations on tree
clearing during the bats active season (April 1 to October 31). If this change is
made, then tree clearing will likely have to occur November 1 to March 31. We
recommend limiting tree clearing activities to November 1 to March 31 as a
voluntary conservation measure.
4.8 Small -whorled Pogonia
Small -whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) is federally listed as an endangered
species. It occurs on upland sites in mixed -deciduous or mixed -
Clearwater, an EnviroScience Company Page 9
Project #16629 — Haywood Park Estates

deciduous/coniferous forests that are generally in second or third
growth successional stages. Characteristics common to most
sites include sparse to moderate ground cover in the species'
microhabitat, a relatively open understory canopy, and proximity
to features that create long persisting breaks in the forest canopy.
Soils at most sites are highly acidic and nutrient poor, with
moderately high soil moisture values. Light availability could be
a limiting factor for this species. The stem is smooth, hollow pale
green and 3.7-9.8 inches tall with a single whorl of 5 to 6 light
green elliptical leaves 3 inches long and 1.6 inches wide. A flower
is borne at the top of the stem. It is distinguished from the similar
Isotria verticillata by the Tatter's purplish stem and long, dark sepals.
Potentially suitable habitat for the small whorled pogonia was observed on -site in
the acidic oak -hickory forest (Figure 4). A maintained walking trail separates this
habitat from the bottomland forest, which provides a linear break in the forest
canopy. Although outside of the USFWS designated survey window, no individuals
of the Isotria genus were observed. On a reference site within a few miles of the
project site, Isotria veriticillata was still standing with green vegetative structure,
able to be identified, in late August.
The area designated as potentially suitable habitat is not proposed to be impacted
by development of this project. Therefore, it would be the opinion of ClearWater
that the project is unlikely to adversely affect small -whorled pogonia. However, if
plans change and disturbance is proposed in the vicinity of the potentially suitable
habitat, ClearWater recommends a survey for small whorled pogonia in the
potentially suitable habitat during the USFWS designated survey window of (mid -
May through early -July). In that situation, a biological conclusion could not be
drawn until the survey determines if small -whorled pogonia is present within the
project site.
4.9 Swamp Pink
Swamp pink (Helonias bullata) is a
perennial herb in the lily family. It has a ' y 3 i ;t `► r' `
basal rosette of evergreen, strap -like
leaves and an upright pink to lavender %�V
flower head. The tall flower stalks (up
to 4.5 feet) appear from March to May.
During the winter the leaves often turn
reddish brown and lie flat or slightly
raised above the ground. These winter
leaves are often hidden by leaf litter, but
a visible button in the center of the
leaves represents the next season's
flower head. Although the plant can reproduce by seed, most of its reproduction
is by vegetative expansion of established plants. This means plants tend to grow
in clumps, close to the parent plants. Seed dispersal is limited, and populations
appear to expand at a very slow rate.
Clearwater, an EnviroScience Company Page 10
Project #16629 — Haywood Park Estates

Swamp pink is found in a variety of wetland habitats, including mountain bogs,
swampy forested wetlands bordering small streams, wet meadows, and spring
seepage areas. Swamp pink can be found across much of New Jersey and
Delaware and sporadically in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
and Georgia.
Potentially suitable habitat for swamp pink does not occur within the project site.
The wetlands on site are disturbed, with compacted mineral -based soils. No
individuals of the Helonias genus were observed on site. Therefore, it is of the
opinion of ClearWater that this project would have no effect on swamp pink.
5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
During completion of threatened and endangered species habitat assessment for the
Haywood Park Estates site, ClearWater biologists observed potentially suitable habitat for
small -whorled pogonia, as well as potentially suitable summer habitat for the northern
long-eared bat. Based on the project location, this project satisfies the 4(d) rule for the
northern long-eared bat and consultation with USFWS is not required.
The area identified as potential suitable habitat for small -whorled pogonia is currently not
proposed to be impacted by development of the project site, which supports a may affect,
but not likely to adversely affect biological conclusion for this species. However, if
development plans change in the vicinity of the potentially suitable habitat, ClearWater
recommends a survey for small whorled pogonia during the USFWS designated survey
window of (mid -May through early -July) to determine if small whorled pogonia is present
on site and what the potential effects of development may be.
It is of the opinion of ClearWater that the development of the Haywood Park Estates site
would not affect federally protected species listed as potentially occurring within the project
boundary, with the potential exception of small whorled pogonia.
Potential flora were identified to the taxonomic unit level necessary to determine if the
observed specimen was a protected species.
Because of the transitory nature of some of the listed threatened and endangered species
and the particular flower/fruiting periods of some plants; it is possible that endangered
species populations and locations may change over time. Therefore, any potential findings
at a later date should be fully investigated and coordinated with appropriate agencies to
prevent potential adverse impacts.

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The enclosed species list
fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
Please note that new species information can change your official species list. Under 50 CFR
402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list
should be verified after 90 days. The Service recommends you visit the ECOS-IPaC website at
regular intervals during project planning and implementation to ensure your species list is
accurate or obtain an updated species list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A biological assessment (BA) or biological evaluation (BE) should be completed for your
project. A BA is required for major construction activities (or other undertakings having similar
physical impacts) considered to be Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c))
(NEPA). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a BE be
prepared to determine effects of the action and whether those effects may affect listed species
and/or designated critical habitat. E?ects of the action are all consequences to listed species or
critical habitat that are caused by the proposed action, including the consequences of other

08/24/2022
activities that are caused by the proposed action. A consequence is caused by the proposed action
if it is reasonably certain to occur and would not occur "but for" the proposed action..
Recommended contents of a BA/BE are described at 50 CFR 402.12. More information and
resources about project review and preparing a BA/BE can be found at the following web link:
https://www.fws. gov/office/asheville-ecological-services/asheville-field-office-online-review-
process-overview.
If a Federal agency determines listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected
by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR
402. The Service is not required to concur with "no effect" determinations from Federal action
agencies. If consultation is required, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed
species, proposed critical habitat, and at -risk species be addressed within the consultation. More
information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of
permit or licensed applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook"
at the following web link: https://www.fws.gov/media/endangered-species-consultation-
handbook.
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Act, there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA)
and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project -
related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds,
including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12
and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). More information about MBTA and BGEPA can be found at the
following web link: https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-birds.
We appreciate your consideration of Federally listed species. The Service encourages Federal
agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species in their project planning
to further the purposes of the Act. Please contact our staff at 828-258-3939, if you have any
questions. In any future correspondence concerning this project, please reference the
Consultation Code which can be found in the header of this letter.

RE: Haywood Park Estates; 16629
Dear ClearWater, an EnviroScience Company:
13. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
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:
httr)s://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 rod ney.butler�ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

1. Ground Surface Condition/Vegetation Condition —assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider alteration to the ground surface (GS) in the assessment area and vegetation structure (VS) in the
assessment area. Compare to reference wetland if applicable (see User Manual). If a reference is not applicable, then rate the assessment
area based on evidence an effect.
GS VS
❑A ❑A Not severely altered
®B ®B Severely altered over a majority of the assessment area (ground surface alteration examples: vehicle tracks, excessive
sedimentation, fire -plow lanes, skidder tracks, bedding, fill, soil compaction, obvious pollutants) (vegetation structure
alteration examples: mechanical disturbance, herbicides, salt intrusion [where appropriate], exotic species, grazing, less
diversity [if appropriate], hydrologic alteration)
Surface and Sub -Surface Storage Capacity and Duration — assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider surface storage capacity and duration (Surf) and sub -surface storage capacity and duration (Sub).
Consider both increase and decrease in hydrology. A ditch <_ 1 foot deep is considered to affect surface water only, while a ditch > 1 foot
deep is expected to affect both surface and sub -surface water. Consider tidal flooding regime, if applicable.
Surf Sub
❑A ❑A Water storage capacity and duration are not altered.
❑B ❑B Water storage capacity or duration are altered, but not substantially (typically, not sufficient to change vegetation).
®C ®C Water storage capacity or duration are substantially altered (typically, alteration sufficient to result in vegetation change)
(examples: draining, flooding, soil compaction, filling, excessive sedimentation, underground utility lines).
Water Storage/Surface Relief — assessment area/wetland type condition metric (skip for all marshes)

Notes
Wetland is centered along a man-made ditch that still retains wetland characteristics. Entire wetland and approximately 10 acres surronding the
wetland were clear cut between 4-2 years ago and the area was left fallow. Soils are compacted. The adjacent stream is dedeply incised and
sections of silt fencing were left in place between the wetland and the stream. Immediately upslope of the wetland, there is a paved road with
curb and gutters that extends the majority of the wetland. Scattered shrubs are present within the wetland.
