Due to workload it may take 90‐120 days for the issuance of a written jurisdictional determination. The delineation may be used for planning and permitting purposes. The AID for the project is SAW‐2021‐02043. I have attached the “Figure 3 – Sketch Map” for reference. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Stream, wetland, or pond impacts are still subject to applicable water quality standards and permitting requirements. Explanation: The stream(s)/pond(s) listed above has been located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey of Wake County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a 1: 24,000 scale. Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be an intermittent stream, perennial stream, a pond connected to a stream feature, or the feature is determined not to be present. Stream features that are checked Subject" have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify it to be subject to the buffer rules. There may be other streams located on the property that do not show up on the maps referenced above and are therefore not subject to the buffer rules. However, if the stream features are present on the tract they are subject to all other applicable North Carolina stream standards and permitting requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B and may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers. This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by the Director. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) days of date of this letter.

Version: May 2017 Page 3 Jurisdictional Determination Request F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One) ❑� I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property. PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is "preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do not expire. ❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years (subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05- 02). ❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information to inform my decision. G. ALL REQUESTS Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the review area. ✓❑ Size of Property or Review Area ± 14.6 acres. ❑✓ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

Please include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non jurisdictional (i.e. "Isolated", "No Significant Nexus", or "Upland Feature"). Please include the acreage or linear length of these features as appropriate. For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations: ■ Wetland and non -wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404, Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non -wetland Waters of the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and linear length of these features as appropriate. ❑ Completed Wetland Determination Data Forms for appropriate region (at least one wetland and one upland form needs to be completed for each wetland type) 6 Please refer to the guidance document titled "Survey Standards for Jurisdictional Determinations" to ensure that the supplied map meets the necessary mapping standards. http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Re ulatory-Permit- Pro gram/Jurisdiction/ Version: May 2017 Page 5 Jurisdictional Determination Request Completed appropriate Jurisdictional Determination form • PJDs, please complete a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Form' and include the Aquatic Resource Table • AJDs, please complete an Approved Jurisdictional Determination Form' ❑ Vicinity Map a Aerial Photograph ❑ USGS Topographic Map Soil Survey Map ❑ Other Maps, as appropriate (e.g. National Wetland Inventory Map, Proposed Site Plan, previous delineation maps, LIDAR maps, FEMA floodplain maps) ❑� Landscape Photos (if taken) ❑ NCWAM and/or NCWAM Assessment Forms and Rating Sheets ❑ NC Division of Water Resources Stream Identification Forms ❑ Other Assessment Forms ' www.saw.usace.gM.mil/Portals/59/docs/re ug latorregdocs/JD/RGL 08-02_App_A_Prelim _JD_Form _fillable.pdf ' Please see http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Re ug latory-Permit-Proaram/Jurisdiction/ Principal Purpose: The information that you provide will be used in evaluating your request to determine whether there are any aquatic resources within the project area subject to federal jurisdiction under the regulatory authorities referenced above.

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.

The property is located at 5221 & 5225 Forestville Rd in Wake County, NC. Surface waters on-site flow into Neuse River in the Neuse River Basin, which has been classified in the “Classification and NC DWQ Standards Applicable to Surface Waters and Wetlands of North Carolina” as C; NSW. We obtained the attached automatically generated official species list from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) and N.C. Natural Heritage Program (NHP) report identifying the protected species on or within one mile of the project area that could potentially be affected by the project. These FWS & NHP reports were updated as of the date of this report. The official species list is valid for 90 days. We conducted preliminary habitat assessments to identify suitable habitat for the individual species listed on the official species list. Detailed botanical surveys were conducted within the optimal survey windows for the listed plant species. The preliminary habitat assessments included assessing the physical characteristics of the streams, identifying forest types, and looking for evidence of the listed species on- site. This survey did not include any detailed sampling or netting of aquatic species, nor did it include any detailed mist netting or acoustic surveys for bat species. The results of the search are discussed below. September 27, 2023 S&EC Project #14953.W11 Yardly Buffaloe Village – S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 2 of 6 RESULTS: The FWS official species list identified the following species for the Evaluation limits: • Tricolored Bat, (Perimyotis subflavus), Proposed Endangered • Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Endangered • Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi), Threatened • Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus), Endangered • Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), Threatened • Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), Endangered • Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus), Candidate • Michaux’s Sumac (Rhus michauxii), Endangered Of the species identified on the official species list, the NHP report did identify a Federally endangered species within one mile of the project area. This historical occurrence is from 1902 and is for the Carolina Madtom. Other State listed species were found within one mile of the project area as listed in the attached NHP report. The NHP report identified two natural areas and twenty six managed areas within one mile of the project area. These are listed out in the attached NHP Report. TRICOLORED BAT (Perimyotis subflavus): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of potential suitable habitat for the Tricolored Bat’s within the project area. Relying upon the findings of the December 2021 Species Status Assessment (SSA) Report for the Tricolored Bat. S&EC did not identify any vacant structures or culverts on-site or within adjacent ROW large enough to be considered roosting habitat. Due to the nature of the project being residential development, which will include tree removal, we concluded that the project would “may affect, not likely to jeopardize the existence of the species” for TCB’s. RED-COCKADED WOODPECKER (Picoides borealis): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of potential suitable habitat (foraging and cavity trees) for Red-cockaded Woodpeckers (RCWs) within the project area. During our evaluation, we found no evidence of individual RCWs within the project area. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project area or within one mile of the site. We found no ideal suitable habitat September 27, 2023 S&EC Project #14953.W11 Yardly Buffaloe Village – S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 3 of 6 (e.g., Long Leaf pine forests) within the project area. Given the lack of suitable habitat, we concluded that the project would have “No effect” on RCWs. NEUSE RIVER WATERDOG (Necturus lewisi): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on-site for potential suitable habitat for the Neuse River Waterdog. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project area or within one mile of the site. This species is found in the Neuse River and Tar River basins. The suitable habitat this species is found in is typically medium to large streams and rivers with a moderate gradient and large bed material. The Neuse River Waterdog also needs riffles, runs, and pools. While we did not specifically sample for the species, we also did not find any evidence of the species while conducting our preliminary surveys of the streams for potential suitable habitat. Our preliminary survey concluded that potential suitable habitat does not exist on-site. The perennial stream on-site was +/- 3 feet wide with medium baseflow and had a sandy silty substrate. Additionally, the other streams on-site did not have suitable habitat. Due to these observations, we have concluded that the project would have “No effect” on the Neuse River Waterdog. Please note that no stream crossings are proposed. CAROLINA MADTOM (Noturus furiosus): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on-site for potential suitable habitat for the Carolina Madtom. The NHP report did list a known historical elemental occurrence within one mile of the site. This species is found in the Neuse River and Tar River basins. The suitable habitat this species is found in is also medium to large streams and rivers with a moderate gradient and large bed material. The Carolina Madtom also needs continuous year-round flow and cover for nesting habitat. While we did not specifically sample for the species, we also did not find any evidence of the species while conducting our preliminary surveys of the streams for potential suitable habitat. Our preliminary survey concluded that potential suitable habitat does not exist on-site. The perennial stream on-site was +/- 3 feet wide with medium baseflow and had a sandy silty substrate. Additionally, the other streams on-site did not have suitable habitat. Due to these observations, we have concluded September 27, 2023 S&EC Project #14953.W11 Yardly Buffaloe Village – S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 4 of 6 that the project would have “No effect” on the Carolina Madtom. Please note that no stream crossings are proposed. ATLANTIC PIGTOE (Fusconaia masoni): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on-site for potential suitable habitat for the Atlantic Pigtoe (Note: This did not include a detailed aquatic mussel survey for the presence of mussels). The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project area or within one mile of the site. The suitable habitat for this species consists of medium sized creeks to large rivers with excellent water quality. This species typically lives in streams with coarse sand and gravel with moderate to high flowing water. While we did not specifically sample for the species, we also did not find any evidence of the species while conducting our preliminary surveys of the streams for potential suitable habitat. Our preliminary survey concluded that potential suitable habitat does not exist on-site. The perennial stream on-site was +/- 3 feet wide with medium baseflow and had a sandy silty substrate. Additionally, the other streams on-site did not have suitable habitat. Due to these observations, we have concluded that the project would have “No effect” on the Atlantic Pigtoe. Please note that no stream crossings are proposed. DWARF WEDGEMUSSEL (Alasmidonta heterodon): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on-site for potential suitable habitat for the Dwarf Wedgemussel (Note: This did not include a detailed aquatic mussel survey for the presence of mussels). The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project area or within one mile of the site. The Dwarf Wedgemussel has little to no preference for stream size, flow condition or bed material. Based on guidance from the USFWS staff, only 2nd order and larger perennial streams are considered suitable habitat. While we did not conduct detailed mussel surveys, no mussels (of any species) were observed during the preliminary suitable habitat survey. Our preliminary survey concluded that potential suitable habitat does not exist on-site. The perennial stream on-site was +/- 3 feet wide with medium baseflow and had a sandy silty substrate. Additionally, the other streams on-site did not have suitable habitat. Due to these observations, we have concluded September 27, 2023 S&EC Project #14953.W11 Yardly Buffaloe Village – S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 5 of 6 that the project would have “No effect” on the Dwarf Wedgemussel. Please note that no stream crossings are proposed. MONARCH BUTTERFLY (Danaus plexippus): The Monarch Butterfly is currently listed as a candidate species, and not yet listed or proposed for listing as threatened or endangered. Due to the current status of Monarch Butterfly, consultation with USFWS under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act is not required. FWS recommends conserving pollinator habitat where practicable. MICHAUX’S SUMAC (Rhus michauxii): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of suitable habitat within the project area. We visited a known population of Michaux’s sumac within Wake County prior to conducting our preliminary surveys. We found no individual Michaux’s Sumac species within the project area. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project area. We found suitable habitat within the project areas to include primarily disturbed open areas along field edges. Given the lack of species present within the project area, we concluded that the project would have “No effect” on Michaux’s sumac. BALD EAGLE (Haliaeetus leucocephalus): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of suitable habitat, nesting sites, and individual Bald Eagles within the project area. During our survey, we found no evidence of Bald Eagles or any nesting sites within the project area. The NHP report did not identify any known nests on-site or within one mile of the site. Given the lack of species present, we have concluded that the project is “Unlikely to disturb nesting bald eagles”. We believe no Eagle Act Permit is required. CONCLUSION: After completing the habitat assessments and preliminary surveys, S&EC completed the attached “Species Conclusion Table” and “Self-Certification Letter”. Using language typically used by the FWS in their conclusion letters, we have concluded that it appears the proposed project is not likely to adversely affect any federally listed endangered or threatened species, their formally designated September 27, 2023 S&EC Project #14953.W11 Yardly Buffaloe Village – S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 6 of 6 critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We strongly recommend requesting a concurrence letter from the FWS. Sincerely, SOIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS, PA Mason Montgomery Environmental Scientist, Wetlands Department Attachments: 1.

The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If your project area  contains suitable habitat for any of the federally-listed species on this species list, the proposed action has the potential to adversely affect those species.  If suitable habitat is present, surveys  should be conducted to determine the species’ presence or absence within the project area. The  use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.   New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered 09/25/2023   2    species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: https://www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/documents/endangered-species-consultation- handbook.pdf Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project-related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more information regarding these Acts, see https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-bird-permit/what- we-do. The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan (when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize the production of project-related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and their resources to the project-related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and recommended conservation measures, see https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds. In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/partner/council-conservation- migratory-birds. 09/25/2023   3    ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act.

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: https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally- listed species are documented near the project area.

Box 33726 Raleigh, NC 27636-3726 Date:__________________________ Self-Certification Letter Project Name______________________________ Dear Applicant: Thank you for using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) Raleigh Ecological Services online project review process. By printing this letter in conjunction with your project review package, you are certifying that you have completed the online project review process for the project named above in accordance with all instructions provided, using the best available information to reach your conclusions. This letter, and the enclosed project review package, completes the review of your project in accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531-1544, 87 Stat. 884), as amended (ESA), and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668-668c, 54 Stat. 250), as amended (Eagle Act). This letter also provides information for your project review under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (P.L. 91-190, 42 U.S.C. 4321-4347, 83 Stat. 852), as amended. A copy of this letter and the project review package must be submitted to this office for this certification to be valid. This letter and the project review package will be maintained in our records. The species conclusions table in the enclosed project review package summarizes your ESA and Eagle Act conclusions. Based on your analysis, mark all the determinations that apply: “no effect” determinations for proposed/listed species and/or proposed/designated critical habitat; and/or “may affect, not likely to adversely affect” determinations for proposed/listed species and/or proposed/designated critical habitat; and/or “may affect, likely to adversely affect” determination for the Northern long- eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) and relying on the findings of the January 5, 2016, Programmatic Biological Opinion for the Final 4(d) Rule on the Northern long-eared bat; “no Eagle Act permit required” determinations for eagles. Applicant Page 2 We certify that use of the online project review process in strict accordance with the instructions provided as documented in the enclosed project review package results in reaching the appropriate determinations. Therefore, we concur with the “no effect” or “not likely to adversely affect” determinations for proposed and listed species and proposed and designated critical habitat; the “may affect” determination for Northern long-eared bat; and/or the “no Eagle Act permit required” determinations for eagles. Additional coordination with this office is not needed. Candidate species are not legally protected pursuant to the ESA. However, the Service encourages consideration of these species by avoiding adverse impacts to them. Please contact this office for additional coordination if your project action area contains candidate species. Should project plans change or if additional information on the distribution of proposed or listed species, proposed or designated critical habitat, or bald eagles becomes available, this determination may be reconsidered. This certification letter is valid for 1 year. Information about the online project review process including instructions, species information, and other information regarding project reviews within North Carolina is available at our website http://www.fws.gov/raleigh/pp.html.

Sincerely, /s/Pete Benjamin Pete Benjamin Field Supervisor Raleigh Ecological Services Enclosures - project review package NCNHDE-23341 September 15, 2023 Robert Zarzecki Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA 8412 Falls of Neuse Road, Suite 104 Raleigh, NC 27615 RE: Foresville & Buffalo; 14953.W7 Dear Robert Zarzecki: 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: https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally- listed species are documented near the project area. If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butler@ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
