4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: *
The project area consists of undeveloped forest and a sewer line Right -of -Way. Surrounding land use consists of forested area and residential development. The adjoining properties are
currently being developed for single-family subdivisions. On -site elevations range from 690-740 feet above mean sea level (Figure 2). Land cover within the project area consists of
deciduous forest, mixed forest, woody wetlands, and a powerline Right -of -Way (Figure 3). According to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation
Service (USDA-NRCS) Web Soil Survey of Gaston County (Figure 4) and the NRCS Published Soil Survey for Gaston County (Figure 5), on -site soils consist of four different soil types.
None of the on -site soils are listed on the Web Soil Survey as being hydric or as containing hydric inclusions. A review of the NWI GIS layer depicts one potential riverine system and a
freshwater pond in the central portion of the project limits (Figure 6). The entirety of the Nolan Farm - Horsley Property is located within the Area of Minimal Flood Hazard zone (Figure 7).
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past? *
Yes No Unknown
If yes, please give the DWR Certification number or the Corps Action ID (exp. SAW-0000-00000).
The proposed project neighbors the Presley Site that is currently under construction (SAW-2018-01806, DWR#19-0515). The cumulative impacts between these projects are below
Nationwide Permit and mitigation thresholds. The previously authorized permanent impacts for the Presley Site totaled 147 If of stream impacts and 0.03 acre of wetland impacts. Due to
minor changes to the site plan, the new proposed wetland impacts total 0.041 acre (0.011 ac. increase).
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.56 acres of wetland, 1.17 acre open water
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
806 If intermittent stream
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of this project is to develop the property into a residential development. This project will provide housing for Gastonia, North Carolina to meet the growing demand for housing
due to population growth.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
Under NWP29, the proposed impacts total 0.041 acre of wetland impacts (W1). The proposed impacts are due to fill for a road and a lot, required to make the development financially
feasible. The proposed site plan is included as Attachment D. Typical construction equipment such as a track hoe will be used. Typical heavy equipment will be used in grading operations
(bulldozers, excavators, dump trucks, graders, etc.). After grading fork lifts will be used for loading materials and access.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
2g. Total Permanent Wetland Impact
0.041
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
To avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S., property was delineated prior to finalizing the site plan and the proposed site plan was
designed around the delineation results. The proposed impacts have been limited to one minor wetland impact.
The current plan proposes 60 lots, while an alternative plan that avoids the wetland would only yield 48 lots. The alternative site plan is included as
Attachment E. Without impacting the wetland, there would be a 20% reduction in the number of residential lots, which for a small site like this would not
allow the project to move forward from a financial perspective. Since this is at the very tip of the wetland and the permanent fill area is relatively minor
(0.041 acre), Suncrest Real Estate & Land respectfully request authorization for this impact. All other wetlands and streams on this site will be avoided.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. Silt fence will be installed around the
jurisdictional features, outside of the avoided wetlands and streams. Construction activities and impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will
comply with all conditions of Nationwide Permit No. 29 and Water Quality Certificate No. 4256. All work will be constructed in the dry and all temporary
fill will be removed following the work.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
Yes No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The proposed impacts total 0.041 acre and are cumulatively below the 0.1 acre threshold.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) O
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?

A. Preliminary Determination
® There appearto be waters onthe above described project area/property, thatmay be subjectto Section 404 ofthe Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 ofthe Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters have been
delineated, and the delineation has beenverifiedby the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries
of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation mapdated 2/23/2022. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination
maybe used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of
impacts, compensatory mitigationrequirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a
preliminary JD will treat allwaters and wetlands thatwould be affected in anyway 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 contactingthe Corps district for further instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters on the above described project area/property, thatmay be subjectto Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 ofthe Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters
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 C WA/RHA
jurisdiction over allof the waters at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate andreliable to support anenforceable
permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters 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 consultantto conduct a delineation that can
be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above describedproject area/property subjectto the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers andHarbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 ofthe Clean WaterAct
(CWA)(33USC§ 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination maybe relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are waterson the above described project area/property subjectto the permit requirements of Section 404 ofthe Clean
WaterAct(CWA)(33USC§ 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination maybe
relied upon fora period notto exceed five years from the date ofthis notification.
❑ We recommend you have the waters on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may notbe able to accomplish
this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation thatcan be verified by
the Corps.
❑ The waters on yourproject area/property have been delineated and the delineation has beenverifiedby the Corps. The
approximate boundaries of these waters are shown onthe enclosed delineationmapdatedDATE. We strongly suggest youhave
this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey

SAW-2022-00247
will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWAjurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in
the law or our published regulations, maybe relied upon for a periodnotto exceed five years.
❑ The waters have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official
identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determinationmay 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, pre sent on the above described project area/property which are subj ectto the
permit requirements of Section404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination maybe relied upon for a period notto exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one ofthe 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of CoastalMa nagement in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill materialwithin waters of the US, in cludin g wetlands, without a Department ofthe Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section301 of the Clean WaterAct (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters ofthe 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

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may bejurisdiction al aquatic resources in the
review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request
and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after

having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when
they may be appropriate.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general
permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit
applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit
authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before
accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being
required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an
individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other
general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and
thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including
whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subjectpermit authorization without
requesting an AID constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6)
accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking
any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD
constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by
that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction
in any administrative orjudicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative
appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or
a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit
denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an
administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether
geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an
official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AID 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 "maybe" navigable waters of the U.S.
on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could
be affectedby the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Dear Casey Werner:
Attached hereto is a copy of Certification No. WQC005107 issued to Casey Werner and Suncrest Real
Estate & Land, dated August 24, 2022. This approval is for the purpose and design described in your
application. The plans and specifications for this project are incorporated by reference as part of this
Water Quality Certification. If you change your project, you must notify the Division and you may be
required to submit a new application package with the appropriate fee. If the property is sold, the new
owner must be given a copy of this Certification and is responsible for complying with all conditions. [15A
NCAC 02H .0507(d)(2)].
This Water Quality Certification does not relieve the permittee of the responsibility to obtain all other
required Federal, State, or Local approvals before proceeding with the project, including those required
by, but not limited to, Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, Water Supply Watershed, and
Trout Buffer regulations.
This Water Quality Certification neither grants nor affirms any property right, license, or privilege in any
lands or waters, or any right of use in any waters. This Water Quality Certification does not authorize
any person to interfere with the riparian rights, littoral rights, or water use rights of any other person
and does not create any prescriptive right or any right of priority regarding any usage of water. This
Water Quality Certification shall not be interposed as a defense in any action respecting the
determination of riparian or littoral rights or other rights to water use. No consumptive user is deemed
by virtue of this Water Quality Certification to possess any prescriptive or other right of priority with
respect to any other consumptive user regardless of the quantity of the withdrawal or the date on which
the withdrawal was initiated or expanded.
Upon the presentation of proper credentials, the Division may inspect the property.

CONDITIONS OF CERTIFICATION [15A NCAC 02H .0507(c)]:
Stormwater Management: The applicant may provide documentation that the project will not
impair water quality to the receiving stream(s) from stormwater runoff or provide an approved
stormwater management plan. Any high density project and/or project that exceeds density
thresholds must provide a stormwater management plan for the entire project, for review and
approval including all forms and pertinent items that complies with the high density
development requirements. Low density development shall meet all condition for stormwater
management required by the state and be reviewed if required. The plan may be approved by
the Division, State Stormwater Program or a local delegated authority. The plan shall consider
the impact of the volume and velocity of discharge and runoff to the receiving stream and
adjacent riparian areas to prevent scouring and erosions of the features.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02U .1017, 15A NAC 02H .1003 (2)(a), 15 NCAC 028 .0614 (8), 15A NCAC 028
. 0607(h)
Justification: In order to protect against impairment of water quality standards and best usage of
receiving and downstream waters, water quality based management practices must be
employed to protect against direct or indirect discharge of waste or other sources of water
pollution. Surface water quality standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all
best uses provided for in state rule (including, at minimum: aquatic life propagation, survival,

and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary contact recreation, agriculture) and
that activities must not cause water pollution that precludes any best use on a short-term or
long-term basis. In determining that the proposed activity will comply with state water quality
standards (including designated uses, numeric criteria, narrative criteria and the state's
antidegradation policy), the Division must evaluate if the activity has avoided and minimized
impacts to waters, would cause or contribute to a violation of standards, or would result in
secondary or cumulative impacts
Diversion Ditches and other storm water conveyances as related to the sediment and erosion
control measures shall be matted and/or stabilized to reduce sediment loss and turbidity. This
includes interior/exterior slopes of sediment basins.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(3) and (c)(3)
Justification: Failure to reduce erosion of runoff conveyances and to provide for maximum
reduction of erosion on areas not related to ongoing construction, shortens basin holding times,
increases turbidity of discharge and creates a greater potential of bypass discharge.
3. Bare/fill slopes in excess of 10 feet in height and within 30 feet of surface waters shall be
matted.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(1) and 15A NCAC 02H .502 (c)
Justification: A project that affects waters shall not be permitted unless the existing uses, and the
water quality to protect such uses, are protected. In determining that the proposed activity will
comply with state water quality standards (including designated uses, numeric criteria, narrative
criteria and the state's antidegradation policy), the Division must evaluate if the activity has
avoided and minimized impacts to waters, would cause or contribute to a violation of standards
or would result in secondary or cumulative impacts
4. The permittee shall report to the DWR Mooresville Regional Office any noncompliance with,
and/or any violation of, stream or wetland standards [15A NCAC 02B .0200], including but not
limited to sediment impacts to streams or wetlands. Information shall be provided orally within
24 hours (or the next business day if a weekend or holiday) from the time the permittee became
aware of the non-compliance circumstances.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b), 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c)
Justification: Timely reporting of non-compliance is important in identifying and minimizing
detrimental impacts to water quality and avoiding impacts due to water pollution that precludes
any best use on a short-term or long-term basis.
5. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands or waters beyond the footprint
of the approved impacts (including temporary impacts).

Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b), 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c), 15A NCAC 028 .0231
Justification: Wetland standards require maintenance or enhancement of existing uses of
wetlands such that hydrologic conditions necessary to support natural biological and physical
characteristics are protected; populations of wetland flora and fauna are maintained to protect
biological integrity of the wetland; and materials or substances are not present in amounts that
may cause adverse impact on existing wetland uses.

15. In accordance with 143-215.85(b), the permittee shall report any petroleum spill of 25 gallons or
more; any spill regardless of amount that causes a sheen on surface waters; any petroleum spill
regardless of amount occurring within 100 feet of surface waters; and any petroleum spill less
than 25 gallons that cannot be cleaned up within 24 hours.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c), N.C.G.S 143-215.85(b)
Justification: Person(s) owning or having control over oil or other substances upon notice of
discharge must immediately notify the Department, or any of its agents or employees, of the
nature, location, and time of the discharge and of the measures which are being taken or are
proposed to be taken to contain and remove the discharge. This action is required in order to
contain or divert the substances to prevent entry into the surface waters. Surface water quality
standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all best uses provided for in state rule
(including, at minimum: aquatic life propagation, survival, and maintenance of biological
integrity, wildlife, secondary contact recreation, agriculture), and that activities must not cause
water pollution that precludes any best use on a short-term or long-term basis.
16. The permittee and their authorized agents shall conduct all activities in a manner consistent
with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with
§303(d) of the Clean Water Act), and any other appropriate requirements of State and Federal
Law.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b), 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c)
Justification: Surface water quality standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all
best uses provided for in state rule, and that activities must not cause water pollution that
precludes any best use on a short-term or long-term basis. The Division must evaluate if the
activity has avoided and minimized impacts to waters, would cause or contribute to a violation
of standards, or would result in secondary or cumulative impacts.
17. The permittee shall require its contractors and/or agents to comply with the terms and
conditions of this certification in the construction and maintenance of this project, and shall
provide each of its contractors and/or agents associated with the construction or maintenance
of this project with a copy of this Water Quality Certification. A copy of this Water Quality
Certification shall be available at the project site during the construction and maintenance of
this project.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b), 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c)
Justification: Those actually performing the work should be aware of the requirements of this
401 Water Quality Certification to minimize water quality impacts.
This approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in
your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 Permit. The conditions in effect on the date of
issuance shall remain in effect for the life of the project, regardless of the expiration date of this
Certification. [15A NCAC 02H .0507(c)]

Suncrest Real Estate & Land has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide
a protected species habitat assessment for the Nolen Farm - Horsley Property. The Nolen Farm
- Horsley Property is approximately 20 acres in extent and is located northwest of the Airport
Road and Union Road intersection in Gastonia, North Carolina (Figure 1, attached).
Methods
In -office Desktop Review
To determine which protected species are listed as occurring or potentially occurring within the
project vicinity and prior to conducting the on -site field investigation, CWS consulted the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Endangered and Threatened Species and Species of
Concern by County for North Carolina online database for Gaston County' and Information for
Planning and Consultation (IPAC) database2. In addition, CWS performed a data review using
the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Data Explorer' on November 23, 2021 tc
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 USFWS' and
NCNHP' online resources including, but not limited to, specific USFWS species profiles,
recovery plans, NCNHP's Guide to Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species of
North Carolina, and List of the Rare Plant Species of North Carolina. United States Department

Gaston County6 and aerial imagery were also reviewed for potential habitat of listed species
within the project vicinity (Figures 2 and 3).
Field Survey
CWS scientists, Megan Bollero, WPIT' and Arnie Hoy, WPIT conducted a pedestrian habitat
assessment of the project area on November 23, 2021. Potential habitats for potentially
occurring federally -protected species that were identified during the desktop review were
assessed in the field for the quality of physical and/or biological features essential to the
conservation of the applicable species. Additionally, during the pedestrian habitat assessment,
areas were reviewed for applicable federally protected species. Identification references for
natural communities include the National Land Cover Database (2011)'.
Results
Based on the NCNHP data explorer review, there are no current occurrences of federally
protected species within the project limits or within a one -mile radius of the project limits
(Attachment A). The USFWS lists four federally protected species for Gaston County (Table 1).
An official species list has not been obtained from the USFWS Asheville Field Office.

Three terrestrial community types were identified within the project area during the field survey.
These community types consist of undeveloped forest, woody wetlands, and sewer line
Right -of -Way (Figure 3). Of the identified on -site community types, the forested areas and
sewer line Right -of -Way are considered potential habitat for federally threatened or endangered
species that could potentially occur within the project limits. A brief description of each species
habitat requirements and determination of effect findings are listed below by species.

Protected Species Assessment Report
December 7, 2021
CWS Project No. 2021-0140
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii)
Habitat Description:
Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial herb with yellow rays and yellow centers. They
can reach heights of five feet. Populations are limited to the piedmont of North and
South Carolina. It has been listed as an Endangered species under the ESA since
199V The typical habitat for this plant includes roadsides, old pastures, transmission
line right-of-ways, open areas, either natural or human -maintained habitats, or edges of
upland woods. Major characteristics of soils associated with suitable Schweinitz's
sunflower habitat include thin soils, soils on upland interstream flats or gentle slopes,
soils that are clay like in both composition and texture (and often with substantial rock
fragments), soils that have a high shrinkage swell capacity, and those which vary over
the course of the year from very wet to very dry.
Biological Analysis:
A NCNHP data record review revealed that there are no current occurrences for this
species within a one -mile radius of the project. A desktop review of the site was
conducted on November 23, 2021, and determined that the Cecil and Pacolet soil series
that have known Schweinitz's sunflower populations are found within the project limits.
The sewer line Right -of -Way within the project limits are too frequently maintained to be
supportive habitat (Photographs 1 and 2). The majority of the site is forested which does
not provide adequate sunlight to support Schweinitz's sunflower (Photograph 3). No
individuals of this species were observed. This assessment was completed outside the
optimal survey window for this species. Due to the lack of potential habitat, CWS
concludes that the project will have no effect on the Schweinitz's sunflower.
Dwarf -flowered heartleaf (Hexastvlis naniflora)
Habitat Description:
Dwarf -flowered heartleaf is endemic to the western Piedmont and foothills of North and
South Carolina. This herbaceous evergreen is found in moist to rather dry forests along
bluffs; boggy areas next to streams and creek heads; and adjacent hillsides, slopes, and
ravines. Requiring acidic, sandy loam soils, the species is found in soil series such as
Pacolet, Madison, and Musella, among others. Occurrences are generally found on a
north facing slope. Undisturbed natural communities such as Piedmont/Coastal Plain
Heath Bluff, Dry-Mesic Oak Hickory Forest, and Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest hold the
most viable occurrences. However, less viable remnant occurrences are found in
disturbed habitats, including logged, grazed, mown, and residential/commercial
developed lands; areas converted to pasture, orchards, and tree plantations; roadside
rights -of -way; and on upland slopes surrounding man-made ponds or lakes."
Biological Analysis:
A NCNHP data record review revealed that there are no current occurrences for this
species within the project limits, or within a one -mile radius of the project. The desktop

review and field survey assessment determined that the Pacolet soil series associated
with the dwarf -flowered heartleaf is found in the north -central portion near Stream A,
which could be potential habitat (Figure 3; Photograph 3). However, species commonly
associated with the dwarf -flowered heartleaf, such as mountain -laurel (Kalmia latifolia),
were not observed on -site. No individuals of the Hexastylis genus were observed within
this area. Due to lack of observation, CWS concludes that the project will have no
effect on the dwarf -flowered heartleaf.
Northern Iona -eared bat (M, otv is septentrionalis)
The northern long-eared bat (NLEB) is one of the species of bats most impacted by the
white -nose syndrome disease. Summer habitat (roosting habitat) of the NLEB includes forests
and woodlots containing live trees and/or dead snags greater than three inches diameter at
breast height with cavities or crevices. Winter habitat (hibernacula) of the NLEB includes caves,
mines, rocky areas, or structures that mimic similar conditions such as culverts greater than
48-inch in diameter." The NLEB was listed as Threatened (T) on April 2, 2015.
The forested areas within the property are potential habitats for the NLEB. No culverts greater
than 48-inch were observed within the study area.
The Nolen Farm - Horsley Property is within range of the NLEB 12. However, there are no known
hibernaculum within 0.25 miles from a site and no known occupied maternity roost within 150
feet.
In accordance with the final 4(d) rule (effective as of February 16, 2016), any incidental take that
may result from associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule. Therefore, the project as
proposed is exempt under the 4(d) rule.
Bald ea,lclee (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act,13 enacted in 1940, prohibits anyone without a permit
issued, from "taking" bald eagles, including their parts, nests, or eggs. Habitat for the bald eagle
includes cliffs and forested areas typically within 1.0 mile of estuaries, large lakes, reservoirs,
rivers, seacoast, and as they become more abundant, stands of undisturbed forest.
A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area, as well as, the area within a 1 mile radius
of the project limits, was performed on November 23, 2021 using 2021 color aerials. The
on -site freshwater pond is potentially large enough and sufficiently open to be considered a
potential feeding source. According to the NCNHP database, there are no current occurrences
of this species within 1.0 mile of the project study area. No bald eagles or bald eagle nests
were observed within the study area at the time of the site visit. Due to the lack of observations,
CWS concludes that this project will have no effect on this species.

December 7, 2021
CWS Project No. 2021-0140
Summary
Based on the literature search and the results of the on -site assessment for suitable habitat of
federally -protected endangered, and threatened species, no supportive habitat was observed
for Schweinitz's sunflower or dwarf -flowered heartleaf. Suitable habitat was observed for bald
eagle, but no bald eagles or bald eagle nests were observed within the study area at the time of
the site visit. CWS has concluded that activities within the project area will not directly or
indirectly jeopardize the continued existence of Schweinitz's sunflower, dwarf -flowered heartleaf,
or bald eagle.
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 agreement14

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.

N CN H DE-16405
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:
httos://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.
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 rodney.butler(�ncdcr.aov or 919-707-8603.
