Salisbury St., 9th Floor Raleigh, NC 27604 RE: Pre -Construction Notification Pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 29 The Foundry at Cedar Street (± 4.78 acres) SAW-2023-00194 Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina Dear Ms. Jolly: Mill Creek Residential Trust has authorized NRE Environmental, LLC (NRE) to provide Clean Water Act Section 404/401 permitting services for the approximately 4.78-acre The Foundry at Cedar Street site (Project) bounded on the northwest by S Cedar Street and the west by W Hill Street, with Bank of America Stadium to the south in City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC (Attachment 1). An executed Agent Authorization Form is attached (Attachment 9). NRE is submitting a Pre -Construction Notification pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 29 and Water Quality General Certification No. 4139 to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) for proposed permanent impacts to the jurisdictional waters of the U.S. associated with developing a mixed use commercial/residential housing development on the Project. The property was delineated by NRE on July 28, 2022 and a preliminary jurisdictional determination was issued by the USACE on February 17, 2023 (SAW-2023-00194; Attachment 7). The impacts from this project will exceed the mitigation threshold under a NWP 29, therefore, payment for 115 linear feet of permanent stream impact will be made to the in -lieu fee program (see attached conditional response letter from Division of Mitigation Services; Attachment 13). A copy of the PCN application is also submitted to the NCDEQ with anticipated fee of $240 for the 401 Water Quality Certification minor water quality application fee.

Cedar St. and Eldridge St., approximately 0.09 mile northeast of the intersection of S. Cedar St. and W. Morehead St. in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC. PINS: 07318201; 07318313. Refer to Site Location may, dated 07-27-2022, included in Jurisdictional Request package. Indicate Which of the Following Apply: A. Preliminary Determination ® There appear to be waters 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 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 8/1/2022. 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 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 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 at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable 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 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 waterson 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 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. ❑ The waters on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. We strongly suggest you have SAW-2023-00194 this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years. ❑ The waters have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at (252) 808-2808 to determine their requirements. Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Meauan Jolly at (704) 510-1441 or K.M.Jollvnus ace.armv.mil. C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination form dated 2/17/2023. D. Remarks: None E. Attention USDA Program Participants This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site identified in this request. The delineation/deternimation 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.

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

Worthington Ave., Suite 210 Charlotte, North Carolina 28203 Prepared By: NRE ENVIRONMENTAL PO Box #401 Fort Mill, SC 29716 www.NREenvironmental.com NRE ENVIRONMENTAL 1 INTRODUCTION Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Assessment Report NRE Project #22.10 December 14, 2022 This report summarizes a Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Assessment performed by NRE Environmental, LLC (NRE) for ± 4.78-acre study area on the proposed Foundry at Cedar Street site (Project) located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (Attachment 11. The report was commissioned to provide information related to the occurrence of federally protected species (T&E) on or within the vicinity of the proposed Project. The site assessment methodology consisted of reviewing available wildlife habitat databases and published natural resource information systems, including the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) online databases, and performing a field reconnaissance and habitat mapping. 2 METHODS 2.1 Information Review Publicly available databases of ecological resources and classification systems were reviewed for federally protected species of concern and their habitat information, as well as, protected and/or precluded lands information for Mecklenburg County in the state of North Carolina and within the Project area. The NCNHP Data Explorer and the USFWS Information for Planning and Conservation (IPaC) records for species of concern and their habitat within or near the Project area was compiled (Attachment 2). Digital data, including United States Geological Survey (USGS) US Topo quadrangle topographic maps (Attachment 3), aerial imagery, a Web Soil Survey report from the US Department of Agriculture, Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), and the National Wetland Inventory (NWI), were reviewed for the Project and surrounding area. Delineated waters of the US were reviewed for habitat suitability (NRE 2022). References used for rare, threatened and endangered species and natural communities included, "Manual of the Vascular Flora of the Carolinas" (Radford et al. 1968), "Guide to the Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina" (Schafale 2012), and "Flora of the Southern and Mid -Atlantic States" (Weakley 2015). 2.2 Field Reconnaissance Following the review of digital data, NRE Biologists conducted a field investigation, which consisted of conducting wide transecting to identify habitat types in the study area and identify plant species and ecological conditions that are present within those habitats. Habitat types that appeared suitable for any of the potential listed species that could occur on the study area (which can vary for each species) were carefully documented and the approximate areas sketched on a map. Areas identified with aerials that appeared to contain unsuitable habitat were spot checked to be certain no potential habitat was present. During the reconnaissance, the biologists evaluated existing vegetation and used prepared maps to 1) ground truth the amount and locations of the landcover and physical features within the Project, 2) describe the common habitats, 3) identify less common habitats not shown on the maps, and 4) confirm 0a NRE ENVIRONMENTAL Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Assessment Report NRE Project #22.10 December 14, 2022 the presence or absence of suitable habitat for species of concern. Photographs were also taken to document site conditions. NRE biologists did not conduct a detailed rare species search during the reconnaissance; however, it was expected that the location of any T&E or similar species that might be encountered during the field investigation would be documented and their location noted. A detailed search would be needed in identified suitable habitat area to search thoroughly for any listed plant or animal species that could potentially be present during the appropriate time of year (as determined by the USFWS) if the suitable areas were too large to completely document the area. Small areas of potential habitat that could be reviewed 100% were searched for listed or similar species if specimens could be identified to species and/or survey was within the appropriate time of year. 2.3 Habitat Mapping After the Project field reconnaissance was completed, detailed habitat mapping for all federally listed threatened and endangered species with potentially suitable habitat present on the Project was performed in GIS. This process included sketching approximate extents of potential habitat in GIS and exporting a pdf map depicting the locations (if present; Attachment 4). 3 RESULTS 3.1 Reference Data Available reference data information is presented below and in the referenced Appendices: a. Federally Listed Species of Concern and Their Habitat: According to the IPaC and the NCNHP databases (November 29, 2022), 3 federally endangered species, 1 federally threatened species, 1 proposed federally endangered, and 1 federal candidate species have the potential to occur in the Project, including 1 mammal, 1 mussel, 1 insect, and 3 plant species (Table 1). Potential habitat for the bald eagle (Holiaeetus leucocepholus), a federally protected species through the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, has also been listed. Table 1.

U.S.G.S. Map: The 2019 Charlotte East USGS Topo Map indicates the site is at an elevation of 664 to 712 feet (Attachment 3). General surface water drainage is to the northwest toward Irwin Creek. The Project is located in the Lower Catawba River Basin (HUC8 03050103). c. Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina: The site is located on the Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina 1. The site contains the following soil series (Attachment 4, Table 2): Table 2. Soil Series Mapaed within the Proiect Soil Series Name Map Unit Hydric Symbol Cecil -Urban land complex, 2 to 8 percent slopes CuB No Urban Land Ur No Cecil -Urban: The CuB series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils on ridges and side slopes of the Piedmont uplands. The parent material is saprolite formed from granite and gneiss and/or schist, with urban components consisting of impervious layers over human transported material. The depth to water table is greater than 80 inches. Slope ranges from 2 to 8 percent. Urban: The Urban series consists of impervious layers over human -transported material. d. Jurisdictional Waters of the USDelineation: One unnamed perennial tributary to Irwin Creek was delineated on the site by NRE Environmental on July 28, 2022 (subject to USACE concurrence; NRE 2022).

Accessed [August/1/2022] 4 NRE ENVIRONMENTAL Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Assessment Report NRE Project #22.10 December 14, 2022 3.2 Potential Habitat and Suitability (Attachment 4)2 A field visit was conducted by Principal Scientist, Christine Geist, PWS, within the Project area on December 8, 2022. Potential habitat was reviewed within open fields, commercial areas, and streams within the Project (Attachment 4). These areas were assessed to determine if they could provide suitable habitat if appropriate soils/conditions were present. The Project area is primarily urbanized, with impervious surfaces in the west, and open field underlain with gravel in the east (Photo 1 and Photo 2). The open areas are used for stadium parking and consist of maintained grasses, including Indian goosegrass (Eleusine indica), and weedy forbs (Plantago lanceolate, Capsella bursa-pastoris, Glechoma hederacea, and Trifolium repens, Photo 2). There are several ornamental trees throughout the site, including crepe myrtle (Lagerstroemia spp.), oak (Quercus spp.), box elder (Acer negundo), mulberry (Morus sp.), walnut (Juglans nigra), sugar berry (Celtis laevigata), magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) and black cherry (Prunus serotina) (Photo 3). Along the edges of the maintained field, a moderately dense shrub and herb layer is present, including invasive kudzu (Pueraria montana), privet (Ligustrum lucidum), blackberry (Rubus argutus), pokeweed (Phytolacca americans), goldenrod (Solidago spp.), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) and ivy (Hedera helix) (Photo 4). One small, modified tributary is also located on the site, which was reviewed for suitable habitat for freshwater species (Photo 5). 3.3 Listed Species and their Potential for Occurrence within the Project3 The following species were reviewed for their potential to occur within the Project. Tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavis)4 Habitat: In North Carolina, the tricolored bat (TCB) occurs throughout the state. They typically spend winter hibernating in caves and mines, with recent survey data indicating the bats use gold mine portals in the Piedmont. During the summer, TCB often roost singly underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dead trees. This bat also been found to roost in structures like barns and sheds, under eaves of buildings, behind window shutters, in bridges, and in bat houses. Foraging occurs on forested hillsides and ridges, and occasionally over forest clearings, over water, and along tree -lined corridors. Trees and human structures are important maternity roosts.

Species Status Assessment Report for the Tricolored Bat (Perimyotis subflavus), Version 1.1. December 2021. Hadley, MA. NRE ENVIRONMENTAL Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Assessment Report NRE Project #22.10 December 14, 2022 Artificial structures (old foundry buildings) that could be used as roost habitat are present within the Project area; however, suitable foraging habitat is limited for this highly urbanized location, which reduces the probability of site use (Photos 1 and 2). A review of NCNHP records on November 29, 2022, also, indicates no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area. On September 13, 2022, the USFWS proposed to list the tricolored bat as an endangered species. This proposed listing is under a public comment period. Removal of suitable roost locations or foraging habitat may require further review upon a change to the federal listing status of the species. Because the site lacks suitable habitat and the species has not yet been formally placed on the endangered species list, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species. b. Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) Habitat: The Carolina heelsplitter currently has a very fragmented, relict distribution but historically was 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. Recent collection records indicate that the Carolina heelsplitter has been eliminated from the majority of its historical range, and only six populations are presently known to exist. In Union County, NC, one small remnant population occurs in Waxhaw Creek, a tributary to the Catawba River, and another small population occurs in both Goose Creek, a tributary in the Rocky River, and Duck Creek, a tributary to Goose Creek, in the Pee Dee River system. In South Carolina, there are four small surviving populations —one each in the Pee Dee and Catawba River systems and two in the Savannah River system. Historically, the Carolina heelsplitter was reported from small to large, moderate -gradient streams and rivers as well as ponds. Presently, the species is known to occur in only nine small streams and one small river. It has been recorded from a variety of substrates (including mud, clay, sand, gravel, and cobble/boulder/bedrock) without significant silt accumulations, along stable, well -shaded stream banks. The stability of the stream banks and stream bottom appears to be a habitat feature essential to the species. These factors include pollutants in wastewater discharges (sewage treatment plants and industrial discharges); habitat loss and alteration associated with impoundments, channelization, and dredging operations; channel and streambank scouring associated with increased storm -water runoff; and the runoff of silt, fertilizers, pesticides, and other pollutants from various land disturbance activities with inadequate or poorly maintained erosion and stormwater control. Biological conclusion: No effect There is no habitat within the Project area. One small tributary is present within the Project area (Attachment 4; Photo 5), but it is low quality, heavily embedded, and is discontinuous from downstream waters. The tributary has been manipulated within an urban area. A review of NHP records on November 29, 2022, also indicates no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area. Due to the lack of habitat and no known occurrences, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species. c. Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) Habitat: According to the USFWS, the monarch butterfly was proposed as a Candidate species on December 17, 2020 (85 FR 81813 81822). It was determined that listing the Monarch under the NRE ENVIRONMENTAL Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Assessment Report NRE Project #22.10 December 14, 2022 Endangered Species Act is warranted but precluded at this time by higher priority listing actions and will be reviewed annually until a proposal to list the species is developed. Biological conclusion: No effect No habitat is present within the Project area, nor has the monarch butterfly been formally placed on the endangered species list; therefore, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species. d. Smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) Habitat: Smooth coneflower, a perennial herb, is typically found in meadows, open woodlands, the ecotonal regions between meadows and woodlands, cedar barrens, dry limestone bluffs, clear cuts, and roadside and utility rights -of -way. In North Carolina, the species normally grows in magnesium- and calcium- rich soils associated with gabbro and diabase parent material, and typically occurs in Iredell, Misenheimer, and Picture soil series. It grows best where there is abundant sunlight, little competition in the herbaceous layer, and periodic disturbances (e.g., regular fire regime, well-timed mowing, careful clearing) that prevents encroachment of shade - producing woody shrubs and trees. On sites where woody succession is held in check, it is characterized by a number of species with prairie affinities. Biological conclusion: No effect There is no habitat within the Project area (Photos 2 to 4). The project area does not have the appropriate soil and the maintained field edges had a dense herbaceous/invasive vine layer, which are not suitable areas for smooth coneflower. A review of NHP records on November 29, 2022, also indicates no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area. Due to the lack of habitat and lack of known occurrences, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species. e. Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) Habitat: Schweinitz's sunflower is endemic to the Piedmont of North and South Carolina. The few sites where this rhizomatous perennial herb occurs in relatively natural vegetation are found in Xeric Hardpan Forests. The species is also found along roadside rights -of -way, maintained power lines and other utility rights -of -way, edges of thickets and old pastures, clearings and edges of upland oak -pine -hickory woods and Piedmont longleaf pine forests, and other sunny or semi - sunny habitats where disturbances (e.g., mowing, clearing, grazing, blow downs, storms, frequent fire) help create open or partially open areas for sunlight. It is intolerant of full shade and excessive competition from other vegetation. Schweinitz's sunflower occurs in a variety of soil series, including Badin, Cecil, Cid, Enon, Gaston, Georgeville, Iredell, Mecklenburg, Misenheimer, Secrest, Tatum, Uwharrie, and Zion, among others. It is generally found growing on shallow sandy soils with high gravel content; shallow, poor, clayey hardpans; or shallow rocky soils, especially those derived from mafic rocks. Biological conclusion: No effect There is no habitat within the Project area (Photos 2 to 4). The project area does not have the appropriate soil and the maintained field edges had a dense herbaceous/invasive vine layer, which are not suitable areas for Schweinitz's sunflower. Based on a site visit to a nearby reference population of Schweinitz's sunflower on December 5, 2022, it was determined that the plant NRE ENVIRONMENTAL Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Assessment Report NRE Project #22.10 December 14, 2022 should still be observable during the survey period (Photo 6). A review of NHP records on November 29, 2022, also indicates no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area. Due to the lack of observed sunflower species and lack of known occurrences, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species. f. Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii) Habitat: Michaux's sumac, endemic to the inner Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont, grows in sandy or rocky, open, upland woods on acidic or circumneutral, well -drained sands or sandy loam soils with low cation exchange capacities. The species is also found on sandy or submesic loamy swales and depressions in the fall line Sandhills region as well as in openings along the rim of Carolina bays; maintained railroad, roadside, power line, and utility rights -of way; areas where forest canopies have been opened up by blowdowns and/or storm damage; small wildlife food plots; abandoned building sites; under sparse to moderately dense pine or pine/hardwood canopies; and in and along edges of other artificially maintained clearings undergoing natural succession. In the central Piedmont, it occurs on clayey soils derived from mafic rocks. The plant is shade intolerant and, therefore, grows best where disturbance (e.g., mowing, clearing, grazing, periodic fire) maintains its open habitat. Biological conclusion: No effect The field edges were inspected and reviewed for suitability, but were determine to be too overgrown and shaded for the Michaux's sumac (Photos 2 to 4). A review of NHP records on November 29, 2022, also indicates no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area. Due to the lack of habitat and lack of known occurrences, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species. g. Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) Habitat: The bald eagle is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, and enforced by the USFWS. Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forests in proximity to large bodies of open water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically within 1.0 mile of open water. Biological conclusion: No effect A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area, as well as the area within a 1.0-mile radius of the project limits, was performed on November 29, 2022 using Google Earth color aerials. No water bodies large enough or sufficiently open to be considered potential feeding sources were identified. Since there was no foraging habitat within the review area, a survey of the project study area and the area within 660 feet of the project limits was not conducted. Additionally, a review of the NHP database on November 29, 2022 revealed no known occurrences of this species within 1.0 mile of the project study area. Due to the lack of habitat, known occurrences, and minimal impact anticipated for this project, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species. NRE ENVIRONMENTAL 4 CONCLUSION Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Assessment Report NRE Project #22.10 December 14, 2022 A field review of the Project area was conducted by NRE biologists on December 8, 2022. NRE biologists did not observe any suitable habitat for listed species within the Project area; therefore, the Project will have no effect on any federally listed this species (Table 3). Artificial roost habitat for the tricolored bat may be present within the Project; however, the structures are not proposed for disturbance on the Project, and lack of foraging habitat limits probability of use. Therefore, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species. In addition, the Project will have no effect on the monarch butterfly, as no suitable habitat was observed and listing of this species is warranted but precluded at this time by higher priority listing actions; therefore, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species.

The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species. Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a fish population even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site -specific and project -specific information is often required. Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills this requirement can only be obtained by requesting an official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see directions below) or from the local field office directly. For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website and request an official species list by doing the following: 1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE. 2. Click DEFINE PROJECT. 3. Log in (if directed to d❑ so). 4. Provide a name and description for your project. 5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.

Probability of Presence Summary The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret this report. Probability of Presence ( ) 00( Dok% Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4- week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: 1. The pro babiiity of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events ire the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25. 2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. 3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar. Breeding Season( ) https:Hipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/GBAZB56JE5CSZAJDKYNPLMWL2A/resources 7/13 11/29/22, 1:06 PM IPaC: Explore Location resources Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort ( ) Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar. No Data (—) A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic toast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse. probability of presence breeding season i survey effort -- n❑ data SPECIES JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL.

Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC). and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. The migratory bird list generated far your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKNj. The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid ceII(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development. Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. K is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information Locator (RAIL) Tool. What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey., banding, and citizen science datasets. Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area? https:Hipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/GBAZB56JE5CSZAJDKYNPLMWL2A/resources 9/13 11/29/22, 1:06 PM IPaC: Explore Location resources To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool and look at the range maps provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each bird in your results. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern: 1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin islands); 2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and 3. "Nan -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing). Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Aftemate ly, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study. and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory https:Hipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/GBAZB56JE5CSZAJDKYNPLMWL2A/resources 10/13 11/29/22, 1:06 PM IPaC: Explore Location resources birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page. Coastal Barrier Resources System Projects within the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS) may be subject to the restrictions on Federal expenditures and financial assistance and the consultation requirements of the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) (15 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). For more information, please contact the local Ecological Services Field Office or visit the CBRA Consultations website. The CBRA website provides tools such as a flow chart to help determine whether consultation is required and a template to facilitate the consultation process. There are no known Coastal barriers at this location. Data limitations The CBRS boundaries used in IPaC are representations of the controlling boundaries, which are depicted on the official CBRS maps. The boundaries depicted in this layer are not to be considered authoritative for in/out determinations close to a CBRS boundary (i.e., within the "CBRS Buffer Zone" that appears as a hatched area on either side of the boundary). For projects that are very close to a CBRS boundary but do not clearly intersect a unit, you may contact the Service for an official determination by following the instructions here: https://www.fws.gov/service/coastal-barrier-resources-system-property-documentation Data exclusions CBRS units extend seaward out to either the 20- or 30-foot bathymetric contour (depending on the location of the unit). The true seaward extent of the units is not shown in the CBRS data, therefore projects in the offshore areas of units (e.g., dredging, breakwaters, offshore wind energy or oil and gas projects) may be subject to CBRA even if they do not intersect the CBRS data. For additional information, please contact CBRA@fws.gov. https:Hipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/GBAZB56JE5CSZAJDKYNPLMWL2A/resources 11 /13 11/29/22, 1:06 PM IPaC: Explore Location resources Facilities National Wildlife Refuge lands Any activity proposed on lands managed by the National Wildlife Refuge system must undergo a 'Compatibility Determination' conducted by the Refuge.

For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District. This location did not intersect any wetlands mapped by NWI. NOTE: This initial screening does not replace an on -site delineation to determine whether wetlands occur. Additional information on the NWI data is provided below. Data limitations The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis. https:Hipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/GBAZB56JE5CSZAJDKYNPLMWL2A/resources 12/13 11/29/22, 1:06 PM IPaC: Explore Location resources The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems. Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site. Data exclusions Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid warm reefs) have m als� been excluded frothe inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery. Data precautions Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate Federal, state, or local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such activities. https:Hipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/GBAZB56JE5CSZAJDKYNPLMWL2A/resources 13/13 Roy Cooper, Governor 9" 0 INC DEPARTMENT OF ""i ■ WMk.M 1 NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES ■-000 November 29. 2022 Christine Geist NRE Environmental, LLC Po Box #401 Fort Mill, SC 29716 RE: The Foundry at Cedar Street; 22-10 Dear Christine Geist: 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.
