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 Back Creek Interceptor Improvements project limits consist of a variable width, approximately 4 miles long corridor along Back Creek, west of Caldwell Park Drive, eastward to just north of Live Oak Road in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, North Carolina (Figures 1 and 2, Attachment A). The project area consists of undeveloped forest, open fields, and a maintained sewerline easement. On -site elevations range from 590-610 feet above mean sea level (Figure 2). Land cover within the project area consists of deciduous forest, mixed forest, herbaceous area, emergent wetlands, and woody wetlands (Figure 3). The surrounding land use consists of undeveloped forested areas, single family housing developments, and both institutional and commercial properties. According to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Web Soil Survey of Cabarrus and Mecklenburg Counties (Figure 4) and the NRCS Published Soil Survey for Cabarrus County (Figure 5), on -site soils consist of eight different soil types. Of the on -site soils, Chewacla sandy loam and Iredell loam are listed on the Web Soil Survey as containing hydric inclusions. A review of the National Wetlands Inventory GIS layer depicts a potential freshwater forested/shrub wetland in the eastern portion of the project limits and a potential riverine wetland along the northern and eastern portions of the project limits (Figure 6). The jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were delineated by Carolina Wetland Services. Figures 7A and 7B depict the approximate locations of these features. 4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past? * Yes No Unknown If yes, please give the DWR Certification number or the Corps Action ID (exp. SAW-0000-00000). The previously issued 404/401 permits for this project have expired (Attachment C). The currently proposed impacts are the same. 404 Permit verification, dated February 3, 2021 (SAW-2020-00491) 401 WQC, dated August 13, 2020 (DWR#20-0927) 4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 3.5 acres 4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property: 340 If intermitent stream; 516 If perennial stream 4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: * The Back Creek Interceptor Improvements project will construct a new 30-inch diameter gravity sewer interceptor along Back Creek from the confluence with Fuda Creek in Cabarrus County to the Charlotte Water Back Creek Pump Station in Mecklenburg County. The total amount of 30-inch sewer is approximately 21,000 If and includes approximately 60 If of 24-inch sewer modified near the pump station (see sheet C-121). The new gravity sewer will generally parallel the existing sewerlines to utilize the existing easements. The existing easements will be expanded to accommodate the new sewer. The proposed interceptor will be installed farther away from the creek in relation to the existing sewer. 4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: * Under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 58, proposed stream impacts associated with this sewerline construction project are due to 14 open cut stream crossings (S1-S34). Out of these 14 stream crossings, seven will be permanent, at grade crossings. Additionally, the project proposes 29 wetland crossings, resulting in both temporary and permanent wetland impacts (W1- W64). The proposed impacts and construction plan details are included in the Attachment E. The proposed impacts are described in detail below. Stream Impacts (S1-S34) All stream sewerline crossings will be constructed via open trench. The temporary impacts were calculated based on the width of the construction corridor and will include the temporary dewatering devices required in order to construct the sewerline in the dry, temporary stream crossings, sewerline installation, and bank stabilization. Proposed temporary stream impacts total 454 linear feet. Permanent stream impacts for this project total 200 linear feet, but will not result in permanent loss of waters of the U.S. The seven proposed permanent stream crossings are required to provide access for maintenance and will be constructed at the existing grade with interlocking concrete block matting (Detail A; Sheet 29, Attachment E). All permanent crossings will be limited to 10 linear feet, totaling 70 linear feet. All areas disturbed by the work shall be re -graded to leave the area in a smooth condition, sloped for drainage and stabilized. All impacted stream banks shall be permanently stabilized with rip rap below the ordinary high water mark and seeding and mulch with woven coir net above the ordinary high water mark. The limits of rip rap stabilization will be limited to 10 linear feet along stream banks per crossing, totaling 130 linear feet for the entire project. Riprap will be keyed at the level of existing grade (Detail E, Sheet 28, Attachment E). The project is located within urban watershed, therefore rip rap below the ordinary high water mark is required to protect the installed utility crossing. Wetland Impacts (W1-W64) Proposed impacts to jurisdictional wetlands total approximately 3.371 acres. The proposed permanent wetland impacts total 1.143 acres. 1.123 acres of these impacts are the result of a permanently maintained easement through forested wetland, where forested wetland will be mechanically cleared and permanently converted to maintained herbaceous wetland. 0.02 acre of these permanent impacts consist of permanent fill for a gravel access road. The temporary wetland impacts total 2.228 acre and are the result of temporary clearing and fill for construction. All disturbed areas will be returned to original grade and seeded with a native seed mix within 90 days of completion of the project. Planting of canopy and shrub species is not proposed. The undisturbed canopy and shrub species abutting the project corridor will naturally reseed the non -maintained portions of the corridor and will provide an assortment of existing and diverse native vegetation that matches the abutting species. 5. Jurisdictional Determinations 5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?* Yes No Unknown Comments: 5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made? * Preliminary Approved Not Verified Unknown N/A Corps AID Number: SAW-2020-00491 5c.

Comments: The project proposes 14 open cut sewerline stream crossings. Seven of these crossings will be permanent, at grade crossings. Construction disturbance includes temporary dewatering devices, temporary stream crossings, sewerline installation, and bank stabilization. E. Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. The Back Creek Interceptor Improvements project has been designed to avoid impacts to jurisdictional waters wherever possible and minimize the extent of necessary impacts to jurisdictional waters. The following paragraph outlines the alternatives analysis and avoidance and minimization efforts undertaken during the planning and design phase of this project. The widths of the permanent crossings are limited to 10 feet each, totaling 70 If for the entire 22,000 If long project. The permanent crossings will be constructed at grade. The proposed alignment is predetermined by the existing sewer easement. The existing, already maintained easement areas will be utilized to maximum extent practicable to minimize the construction disturbance while meeting the local regulations for the minimum maintenance corridor. The construction corridor width will be generally 50-65 feet wide and will utilize the existing 20 - 30 ft wide permanently maintained easement, where available. Wider than 40 feet construction corridor is required to allow enough space between the two utility lines for safe construction and maintenance activities. Additionally, site topography prevents the alignment from being further from the creek, which could result in an excessively deep installation. Where feasible, the new installation was designed to keep the stream and wetland crossings as close to 90 degrees as possible. Crossings will be at the same angle as the existing sewer. Trenchless boring under the creek was considered, but this carries the risk of "blow out" of the stream bed where bore pressures exceed the capacity of the stream bed. Therefore, boring the proposed stream crossings would greatly increase the safety risk to persons and property during construction, as well as the potential environmental impacts as compared with a more controlled open trench installation. Therefore, the trenchless boring option was abandoned from further consideration. lb. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Best Management Practices (BMP's) will be implemented during construction to avoid further Impacts. The construction corridor within stream channels will be limited to a maximum width of 40 feet. Proper erosion and sedimentation control techniques will be used throughout the construction process to minimize disturbances to downstream waters, including the use of silt fence, silt fence outlets, construction entrances, erosion control matting, and bank stabilization. The permanently maintained portion of the right-of-way. Anti -seep collars will be installed at the downstream wetland boundary and every 150 feet up the gradient until the relief sewer exits the wetland. All channel work will be constructed in accordance with Water Quality Certification No. 4133. Timber mats will be utilized within wetlands to prevent rutting and all impacted areas will be returned to their pre -impact grades. All impacted stream banks shall be permanently stabilized with rip rap below the ordinary high water mark and seeding and mulch with matting above the ordinary high water mark. The limits of rip rap stabilization will be limited to 10 linear feet along stream banks per crossing. Riprap will be keyed at the level of existing grade. 2.

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 3/24/2020. 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 wetlands on 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.

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: SUPPORTING DATA.

Westinghouse Boulevard Charlotte, NC 28273 aliisa@cws-inc.net Dear Aliisa Har uniemi: Subject: Back Creek Parallel Interceptor, Cabarrus and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina Log No. 4-2-21-057 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) reviewed the information provided in your October 23, 2020 correspondence, (amended January 5, 2021). We submit the following comments and recommendations in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. §§1531-1543; Act); the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. §§661-667e); the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §1251 etseq.); the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. §§703-712); and the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.). Project Summary The proposed project will replace existing sewer line with 30" diameter gravity sewer line within approximately 32 acres in Harrisburg, North Carolina. Your email correspondence indicates that the proposed work would require U.S. Army Corps of Engineers authorization. The information provided describes nine perennial streams within the Action Areal, but does not quantify proposed impacts to jurisdictional features. Proposed impact avoidance, minimization, and/or mitigation measures were also not described. Onsite habitats include disturbed floodplain forest, developed open space, utility rights of way, maintained roadways, and transitional habitats. Surrounding land use is dominated by commercial development and residential homes. Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species. Suitable summer roosting habitat may be present in the project area for the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (*otis septentrionalis). However, the final 4(d) rule (effective as of February 16, 2016), exempts incidental take of northern long-eared bat associated with activities that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a known hibernation site, and greater than 150 feet from 1 Pursuant to 50 CFR §402.02, the Action Area includes all areas to be affected directly or indirectly by the Federal action and not merely the immediate area involved in the action. Moreover, the Effects of the Action are all consequences to listed species or critical habitat that are caused by the proposed action, including the consequences of other activities that are caused by the proposed action. A consequence is caused by the proposed action if it would not occur but for the proposed action and it is reasonably certain to occur. Effects of the action may occur later in time and may include consequences occurring outside the immediate area involved in the action (see also 50 CFR §402.17). a known, occupied maternity roost during the pup season (June I — July 31). Based on the information provided, the project would occur at a location where any incidental take that may result from associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule. Although not required, we encourage the Applicant to conduct any associated tree clearing activities outside the active season (April 1— October 31) for this species and especially avoid the pup season (June 1 — July 31) to reduce the chance of impacting unidentified maternity roosts. The information provided indicates that suitable habitat for the federally endangered Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), occurs onsite. However, targeted surveys conducted during the optimal survey window did not detect evidence for this species. Based on the presence of suitable habitat onsite, but negative survey results collected during the appropriate survey window, we believe that the probability for inadvertent loss of this species would be insignificant and discountable. Therefore, we would concur with a "may affect, not likely to adversely affect" determination for this species from the appropriate action agency if all potential habitats were evaluated during the optimal survey window, but no evidence for the species was detected at that time. Based on the information provided, suitable habitat does not occur onsite for any other federally protected species and we require no further action at this time. Please be aware that obligations under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action. We offer the following general recommendations on behalf of natural resources: Utility Crossing In the interest of reducing impacts to natural resources, utility crossings (i.e., sewer, gas, and water lines) should be kept to a minimum, and all utility infrastructure (including manholes) should be kept out of riparian buffer areas. If a utility crossing is necessary, we recommend that the Applicant first consider the use of directional boring. Directional boring under streams significantly minimizes impacts to aquatic resources and riparian buffers. Where directional drilling is proposed, we request that the Applicant develop and implement a frac-out contingency plan to minimize potential impacts from an inadvertent spill of drilling fluid. If directional boring cannot be used and trenching is determined to be the only viable method, every effort should be made to ensure that impacts to in -stream features are minimized and stable upon completion of the project. Our past experiences with open -trench crossings indicate that this technique increases the likelihood for future lateral movement of the stream (which could undercut or erode around the utility line), and the correction of such problems could result in costly future maintenance and devastating impacts to natural resources. Therefore, as much work as possible should be accomplished in the dry, and the amount of disturbance should not exceed what can be successfully stabilized by the end of the workday. In -stream work should avoid the spring fish -spawning season and should consider forecasted high -flow events. 2 Regardless of the crossing method, all utility lines should cross streams perpendicularly. We strongly encourage that a qualified biologist monitor the work area until the work is complete in order to identify any additional on -site impact -minimization measures. The Service may be available to assist you in this effort. To determine if any maintenance is required, the work site should be monitored at least every 3 months during the first 24 months and annually thereafter. Moreover, we recommend the development of a riparian monitoring and maintenance program that would outline procedures for the prompt stabilization of streambanks near the utility crossing (should any streambank erosion or destabilization occur) throughout the life of this project. Special consideration should be made with regard to sewer lines associated with crossing areas. These lines should be maintained at all times in a manner that prevents hazardous discharges to land or surface waters and should be constructed of ductile iron or a material of equal durability. Erosion and Sedimentation Control Construction activities near streams, rivers, and lakes have the potential to cause water pollution and stream degradation if measures to control site runoff are not properly installed and maintained. In order to effectively reduce erosion and sedimentation impacts, best management practices specific to the extent and type of construction should be designed and installed during land -disturbing activities and should be maintained until the project is complete and appropriate stormwater conveyances and vegetation are reestablished on the site. A complete design manual, which provides extensive details and procedures for developing site -specific plans to control erosion and sediment and is consistent with the requirements of the North Carolina Sedimentation and Pollution Control Act and Administrative Rules, is available at: http: //portal. ncdenr. org/web/lr/publications For maximum benefits to water quality and bank stabilization, riparian areas should be forested; however, if the areas are maintained in grass, they should not be mowed. We recommend planting disturbed areas with native riparian species. Our office can provide information on potential sources of plant material upon request. Stream Buffers Natural, forested riparian buffers are critical to the health of aquatic ecosystems. They accomplish the following: 1. catch and filter runoff, thereby helping to prevent nonpoint-source pollutants from reaching streams; 2. enhance the in -stream processing of both point- and nonpoint-source pollutants; 3. act as "sponges" by absorbing runoff (which reduces the severity of floods) and by allowing runoff to infiltrate and recharge groundwater levels (which maintains stream flows during dry periods); 4. catch and help prevent excess woody debris from entering the stream and creating logjams; 5. stabilize stream banks and maintain natural channel morphology; 6. provide coarse woody debris for habitat structure and most of the dissolved organic carbon and other nutrients necessary for the aquatic food web; and 7. maintain air and water temperatures around the stream. Forested riparian buffers (a minimum 50 feet wide along intermittent streams and 100 feet wide along perennial streams [or the full extent of the 100-year floodplain, whichever is greater]) should be created and/or maintained along all aquatic areas. Within the watersheds of streams supporting endangered aquatic species, we recommend undisturbed, forested buffers that are naturally vegetated with trees, shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation and extend a minimum of 200 feet from the banks of all perennial streams and a minimum of 100 feet from the banks of all intermittent streams, or the full extent of the 100-year floodplain, whichever is greater.) Impervious surfaces, ditches, pipes, roads, utility lines (sewer, water, gas, transmission, etc.), and other infrastructures that require maintained, cleared rights -of -way and/or compromise the functions and values of the forested buffers should not occur within these riparian areas. Floodplains Executive Order 11988 requires federal agencies (and their designated nonfederal representatives) to consider and protect floodplain functions. We believe the examples of flooding in this area of North Carolina highlight the importance of avoiding the long- and short-term impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of floodplains and that we should avoid any direct or indirect support of floodplain development. Therefore, we do not believe the subject project should be built in the 100-year floodplain or in any way result in the alteration of the 100-year floodplain.

Marc Lomax WSACC 232 Davidson Highway Concord, NC 28027 Subject: Protected Species Habitat Assessment Report Back Creek Parallel Interceptor Cabarrus and Mecklenburg Counties, North Carolina CWS Project No. 2019-0269 Dear Mr. Lomax, WSACC has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide a protected species habitat assessment for the Back Creek Parallel Interceptor site. The Back Creek Parallel Interceptor site is a 200-foot wide 19,000 foot long sewer line easement that contains multiple Cabarrus and Mecklenburg County tax parcels. The project limits extend from just west of Caldwell Park Drive, eastward to just north of Live Oak Road in Cabarrus County, North Carolina (Figure 1). 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 Cabarrus County'. In addition, CWS performed a data review using the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Data Explorer2 on August 1, 2019 to determine if any record occurrences of federally -listed, candidate endangered, threatened species, or critical habitat are located within the project limits. Typical habitat requirements for listed species was discerned from multiple USFWS3 and NCNHP4 online resources including, but not limited to, specific USFWS species profiles, recovery plans, NCNHP's Guide to Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species of North Carolina, and List of the Rare Plant Species of North Carolina.

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. However, formal surveys were not conducted for the occurrence of protected species. Identification references for natural communities include the National Land Cover Database (2011)'. Results Based on the NCNHP data explorer review, there are no current records of federally -protected species within the project limits or within a mile of the project limits (Attachment A). The USFWS lists three federally protected species for Cabarrus County (Table 1). An official species list has not been obtained from the USFWS Asheville Field Office. Table 1.

These community types consist of deciduous forest, evergreen forest, shrub/scrub, herbaceous, woody wetlands, and emergent herbaceous wetlands (Figure 3). Of the identified on -site community types, deciduous forest, herbaceous areas, and perennial streams are considered potential habitat for federally threatened or endangered species that could potentially occur within the project limits.

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: The potential on -site habitat for this species is limited to the herbaceous areas along the forest edges, and the existing sewer line easement along Back Creek (Photographs 2, 3, 6-9, 11, and 13-15). The desktop review and field survey assessment determined that there are small areas throughout the project limits that do contain Enon, Iredell, and Mecklenburg soils that are conducive to Schweinitz's sunflower. However, these areas are either forested, or are too regularly maintained through the practices of mowing, which is not conducive to Schweinitz's sunflower habitat. No individuals of Schweinitz's sunflower or other Helianthus species were observed during the field assessment on July 30 and August 12 and 13, 2019, and no known population records of the species occurs within one mile of the project area in the NCNHP database, which leads CWS to conclude that the project will not affect Schweinitz's sunflower. Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) Habitat Description: The Carolina heelsplitter was historically known from several locations within the Catawba and Pee Dee River systems in North Carolina and the Pee Dee and Savannah River systems, and possibly the Saluda River system in South Carolina. In North Carolina, the species is now known only from a handful of streams in the Pee Dee and Catawba River systems. The species exists in very low abundances, usually within 6 feet of shorelines, throughout its known range. The general habitat requirements for the Carolina heelsplitter are shaded areas in large rivers to small streams, often burrowed into clay banks between the root systems of trees, or in runs along steep banks with moderate current. Recently, the Carolina heelsplitter has been found is in sections of streams containing bedrock with perpendicular crevices filled with sand and gravel, and with wide riparian buffers.10 e United States Fish and Wildlife Services. 1991.

In addition, the stream bottoms are heavily embedded with silt throughout the entire reach, which is not supportive habitat for Carolina heelsplitter. All of these streams drain into Back Creek, which is connected to downstream waters via a culvert, which is also not conducive for Carolina heelsplitter (Photographs 1, 4-5, 10, and 12). Back Creek is experiencing significant bank erosion and incision, with high levels of sedimentation and turbidity. Studies performed by the North Carolina Department of Water Quality show that water quality in the Rocky River Watershed has been severely impacted by rapid development in the area." Back Creek is one of the larger tributaries in the Rocky River Watershed, and this study shows that it has been heavily impaired by stormwater runoff, resulting in habitat degradation. Additionally, the 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). Therefore, CWS concludes that this project will not affect the Carolina heelsplitter. Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalts) 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. 12 The NLEB was listed as Threatened (T) on April 2, 2015. The forested floodplain within the project area likely has potential foraging or roosting habitat for the NLEB. However, a Standard Local Operating Procedure for Endangered Species Act Compliance (SLOPES) was established for NLEB between the USFWS Asheville and Raleigh Ecological Offices and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Wilmington District, on January 31, 2017.13 This SLOPES defines how the USACE will make determinations of effect to the NLEB on projects in which the USACE is the lead federal agency. Alternative Local Procedure 1 (ALP 1) applies for the Back Creek Parallel Interceptor site as the action area is within range of the NLEB,14 the action area is located outside of a red 12-digit HUC as defined by the Asheville Ecological Services Field Office,15 and consultation by the USACE is required on other listed species or critical habitat. The final 4(d) rule exempts incidental take of NLEB associated with activities that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a known hibernaculum site and greater than 150 feet from a known, occupied maternity roost from June 1-July 31. This project is not within the range of any known hibernaculum or occupied maternity roost. Therefore, in accordance with ALP 1 and the final 11 https://files.nc.gov/ncdegMater%20Quality/Planning/BPU/BPU/Yadkin/Yadkin%20Plans/2010%20PIanP 6_03040105%20Rocky%20R-2010. pdf 12 United States Fish and Wildlife Service. 2016.4(d) Rule for the Northern Long -Eared Bat; Final rule. hftps://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-01-14/pdf/2016-00617.pdf 13 USACE http://saw-reg.usace.army.mil/NLEB/1-30-17-signed_NLEB-SLOPES&apps.pdf 14 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) 2016. https://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/mammals/nieb/pdf/WNSZone.pdf 15 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) 2016.

Therefore, this project is exempt under the 4(d) rule. Summary Based on the literature search and the results of the on -site assessment for suitable habitat of federally -protected endangered, and threatened species, supportive habitat was not observed within the project limits for Schweinitz's sunflower or Carolina heelsplitter. Additionally, based on the project area location, no tree removal activities will occur within a 150-foot radius of a known, occupied NLEB maternity roost from June 1-July 31 and no trees will be removed within 0.25 miles of a known hibernaculum at any time of year. Therefore, any incidental take on NLEB that may result from associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule and notifications will follow the SLOPES agreement16. Biological determinations requirements for federally protected species are summarized in Table 2 (below). Table 2. Biological Determination Requirements Summary Table for Federally Protected Species Federal Effect on Listed Biological Scientific Name Common Name Status* Species Determination Required Helianthus schweinitzii Schweinitz's sunflower E No Effect No Lasmigona decorata Carolina heelsplitter E No Effect No Myotis septentrionalis Northern -long-eared bat T Exempt Yes** * E - Endangered, T - Threatened ** - Required in accordance with SLOPES, ALP 1 agreement. A biological assessment was not conducted for this project. All biological determinations of effect represent the best professional opinion of CWS and are not official determinations of effect. It is the responsibility of the lead federal agency to render an official determination of effect. Should the lead federal agency agree with CWS's initial findings of no effect, then no USFWS consultation is required to comply with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. Should the lead federal agency's determination of effect differ from the findings of CWS, formal or informal consultation with USFWS may be required. 16 http://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmis/project_review/NLEB_in_WNC.htmi Page 5 of 6 Back Creek Parallel Interceptor Protected Species Assessment Report August 26, 2019 CWS Project No. 2019-0269 Thank you for the opportunity to provide these services on this important project.

A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map. The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. If a Federally -listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one -mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here: https://www.fws.ciov/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. Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water Management Trust Fund easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.
