(Atlas) is submitting the enclosed nationwide permit 29 modification package on behalf of the applicant, George Harvey with Caballero Holdings, LLC, for unavoidable impacts to potential Waters of the United States at the Belk Residential project review area. Atlas Environmental completed a stream and wetland delineation on November 6, 2020 and was issued a preliminary jurisdictional determination on April 2, 2021. The existing preliminary jurisdictional determination is included in this package along with correspondence with the North Carolina Historic Preservation Office and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service Office. The purpose of the project is for the construction of 443 single family dwellings on 220.84 acres. Two wetlands will be impacted, one will be affected by a road crossing and the other will be affected by the building of an amenity site consisting of a clubhouse, pool, and mail. These wetlands were permitted under the previous action ID: SAW 2021-00263. Access to the dwellings requires five road crossings. Like the previous permit, two of the road crossings are bottomless culverts and three are corrugated culverts have changed and the linear footage of impacts have been reduced. Impact S1 is approximately 91 linear feet (0.010 acres) and is located on CH 200. Impact S2 is also located on CH 200 and is approximately 98 linear feet (0.019 acres). The last impact, Impact S3 is located on CH 400 and is approximately 84 linear feet (0.014 acres). All impacts occur on perennial streams and total 272 linear feet and 0.049 acres. Construction and engineering techniques are being applied to further minimize impacts from the development to the aquatic resources with the construction of headwalls at the upper and lower extents of all culverts. Due to cumulative impacts being less than the wetland mitigation thresholds no mitigation is being proposed for wetlands. Stream impacts do exceed mitigation thresholds and DMS will provide the updated invoice once the MRTF and 401 have been received. Thank you for your attention to the enclosed request. Please contact me if you need any additional information. Best regards, Layla Tallent, Botanist ltallent@atlasenvi.com Environmental, Inc. 338 S.

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 4/1/2021. 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 waters 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 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 this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey SAW-2021-00263 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 on DATE. 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/propertywhich 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).

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 optionto 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 orother 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 determinationof jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permitauthorization, 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 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, orinanyadministrative 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 termsandconditionscontainedtherein),orindividualpermit denial can be administrativelyappealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, itbecomes 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.

United States Department of the Interior FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Asheville Field Office 160 Zillicoa Street Asheville, North Carolina 28801 July 22, 2021 Jennifer Robertson Atlas Environmental 338 South Sharon Amity Road #411 Charlotte, North Carolina 28211 jrobertson@atlasenvi.com Subject:Belk Road Residential Development; Iredell County, North Carolina Dear Jennifer Robertson: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the information provided in your email correspondence dated June 18, 2021wherein you solicit our comments regarding project- mediated impacts to federally protected species. We submit the following comments in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16U.S.C. 661-667e); the National Environmental Policy Act (42U.S.C.§4321 etseq.); and section7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act). Project Description According to the information provided,the Applicant proposes to construct an undisclosed residentialdevelopment on approximately 221acres in Mooresville, North Carolina which will require authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for impacts to Waters of the United States. Based on the information provided and aerial imagery, onsite habitats are dominated by successional mixed forest and undeveloped open space,but also containforested riparian and wetland habitats (Cornelius Creek and its unnamed tributaries), maintained road rights of way, and transitional edge habitats. No project design plans or a description of impacts to onsite habitats have been provided at this time. Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species According to Service records, suitable summer roosting habitat may be present in the action area (50CFR 402.02) for the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis 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 a known,occupied maternity roost during the pup season (June 1 –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 for this species. Although not required, we encourage the Applicant to avoid any associated tree clearing activities during this animal’s maternity roosting season from May 15 –August 15. Table 4.1.1 of your report indicates that suitable habitat is present onsite for dwarf-flowered heartleaf and that surveys for this species were conducted on October 16, 2020. Provided that targeted botanical surveys of all potential habitats for dwarf-flowered heartleaf in the action area 1 were conducted at that timeand no members of the genus Hexastylis(except H. arifolia)were detected, we would concur with a may affect, not likely affect determination for this species from the appropriate action agency. Your correspondence indicates that H. arifolia was observed onsite and references photographs of these observations (section 3.3.2), but no images depicting this species were included in your biological evaluation. Please provide the images referenced above to this office for our review. Aerial imagery suggests that suitable nesting habitat may be present onsite for bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), but this federally protected species was not considered in your evaluation. The bald eagle has been removed from the federal list of endangered and threatened species due to its recovery. However, this species is afforded legal protection by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 668d) and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 703 712). The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, enacted in 1940, and amended several times, prohibits anyone without a permit issued by the Secretary of the Interior from “taking” bald eagles, including their parts, nests, or eggs. “Take” includes pursue, shoot, shoot at, poison, wound, kill, capture, trap, collect, molest or disturb (16 U.S.C. 668c; 50 CFR 22.3). “Disturb” means “To agitate or bother a bald or golden eagle to the degree that interferes with or interrupts normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering habits, causing injury, death, or nest abandonment.” In addition to immediate impacts, these definitions also cover impacts that result from human induced alterations initiated around a previously used nest site during a time when eagles are not present if, upon an eagle’s return, such alterations agitate or bother the eagle to a degree that interferes with or interrupts normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering habits and causes injury, death, or nest abandonment. If any active nests are located within a half mile of the project site, we request that work at the site be restricted from mid-January through July in order to prevent adverse impacts to the bald eagle. This will prevent disturbance of the eagles from the egg laying period until the young fledge, which encompasses their most vulnerable times. In accordance with the Act, it is the responsibility of the appropriate federal agency or its designated representative to review its activities or programs and to identify any such activities or programs that may affect endangered or threatened species or their habitats. If it is determined that the proposed activity may adversely affect any species federally listed as endangered or threatened, formal consultation with this office must be initiated. Erosion and Sediment Control 1 Members of the genus Hexastylis can be positively identified year-round. However, floristic measurements are required to diagnose at least eight species in the Virginica group, including dwarf- flowered heartleaf (Gaddy, 1987). Leaf morphology alone cannot be used to differentiate dwarf-flowered heartleaf from its congeners in the Virginica group. 2 Measures to control sediment and erosion should be installed before any ground-disturbing activities occur. Grading and backfilling should be minimized, and existing native vegetation should be retained (if possible) to maintain riparian cover for fish and wildlife. Disturbed areas should be revegetated with native vegetation as soon as the project is completed.Ground disturbance should be limited to what will be stabilized quickly, preferably by the end of the workday. Natural fiber matting (coir) should be used for erosion control as synthetic netting can trap animals and persist in the environment beyond its intended purpose. The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. Please contact Mr. Byron Hamstead of our staff at byron_hamstead@fws.gov if you have any questions.

We have reviewed your submission and offer the following comments. We apologize for the delay and any inconvenience it may have caused. We have conducted a review of the project and are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project. Therefore, we have no comment on the project as proposed. However, we would like to request that prior to its demolition interior photographs of the structure ID0754/1836 Charlotte Highway, be taken and sent to us for filing in the survey record. Your time and efforts would be much appreciated. We would be happy to provide any additional assistance you may need. There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area. Based on our knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any archaeological resources that may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will be affected by the project. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment, contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-814-6579 or environmental.review@ncdcr.gov.
