Mr. Jesse Degnan
ECS Southeast, LLP
1812 Center Park Drive, Suite D
Charlotte, North Carolina 28217
Subject: Quick Trip Store 1069 in Marshville, Union County, North Carolina.
Dear Mr. Degnan:
On March 20, 2023, we received (via email) your information requesting our review of the subject
project. We have reviewed the information that you presented for this request and the following
comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42
U.S.C.§ 4321 et seq.) and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531
- 1543) (Act).
Proiect Description
According to the information provided, an undisclosed project proponent proposes to construct a Quick
Trip gas station and associated infrastructure on approximate 3.5 acres adjacent to W Marshville
Boulevard in Marshville, Union County, North Carolina.
Federally Listed Species
An assessment of suitable habitat and potential impacts to five species was conducted by environmental
specialists with ECS Southeast, LLP on March 16, 2023. The findings were compiled and included in the
review request submitted to our office on March 20, 2023. The following species and their associated
habitats were evaluated.
Species
Status'
Atlantic pigtoe
Fusconaia masoni
T
Carolina heelsplitter
Lasmigona decorata
E
Michaux's sumac
Rhus michauxii
E
Schweinitz's sunflower
Helianthus schweinitzii
E
Tricolored bat
Perimyotis subflavus
PE
'E = endangered, PE = proposed endangered, and T = threatened.
The review request states that no suitable habitats are present for Atlantic pigtoe, Carolina heelsplitter,
Michaux's sumac, or Schweinitz's sunflower. Based on the information and photographs provided, we
agree with the assessment that no suitable habitats are present for these species. As such, the proposed
project would have "no effect" on these species and section 7 consultation is not required.

Suitable habitat for tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) may be present at the site. On September 14,
2022, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) published a proposal in the Federal Register to list the
tricolored bat as endangered under the Act. The Service has up to 12 months from the date the proposal
published to make a final determination, either to list the tricolored bat under the Act or to withdraw the
proposal. The Service determined the bat faces extinction primarily due to the range -wide impacts of
WNS. Because tricolored bat populations have been greatly reduced due to WNS, surviving bat
populations are now more vulnerable to other stressors such as human disturbance and habitat loss.
Species proposed for listing are not afforded protection under the Act; however, as soon as a listing
becomes effective (typically 30 days after publication of the final rule in the Federal Register), the
prohibitions against jeopardizing its continued existence and "take" will apply. Therefore, if you suspect
your future or existing project may affect tricolored bats after the potential new listing goes into effect, we
recommend analyzing possible effects of the project on tricolored bats and their habitat to determine
whether consultation under section 7 of the Act is necessary. Conferencing procedures can be followed
prior to listing to ensure the project does not jeopardize the existence of a species. Projects with an
existing section 7 biological opinion may require re -initiation of consultation to provide uninterrupted
authorization for covered activities. Please contact our office for additional guidance or assistance.
We believe the requirements under section 7 of the Act are fulfilled for the federally listed species
discussed above. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if (1) new
information reveals impacts of the identified action may affect listed species or critical habitat in a
manner not previously considered, (2) the identified action is subsequently modified in a manner that was
not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may be
affected by the identified action.
Fish and Wildlife Resource Recommendations
We offer the following general recommendations for the benefit of fish and wildlife resources:
Equipment Use in Riparian Areas and In -Stream. Equipment should be operated from the
streambank. If in -stream work is necessary, stone causeways, work bridges, or mats (designed for
the specific location and type of equipment) should be used. Work pads on streambanks or
approaches to in -stream work areas should minimize disturbance to woody vegetation. Equipment
operated in riparian areas and in/near aquatic resources should be inspected daily and maintained
regularly to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic
fluids, or other toxic materials. Construction staging, toxic material storage, and equipment
maintenance, including refueling, should occur outside of the riparian area. The project proponent
should report any toxic material spills in riparian areas and/or aquatic resources to the Service
within 24 hours.
Erosion and Sedimentation Control. Construction activities near aquatic resources, streams,
and wetlands have the potential to cause bank destabilization, water pollution, and water quality
degradation if measures to control site runoff are not properly installed and maintained. In order
to effectively reduce erosion and sedimentation impacts, best management practices specific to
the extent and type of construction should be designed and installed prior to land -disturbing
activities and should be maintained throughout construction. Natural fiber matting (coir) should
be used for erosion control as synthetic netting can trap animals and persists in the environment
beyond its intended purpose. Land disturbance should be limited to what can be stabilized
quickly, preferably by the end of the workday. Once construction is complete, disturbed areas
should be revegetated with native riparian grass and tree species as soon as possible. For
maximum benefits to water quality and bank stabilization, riparian areas should be forested;
however, if the areas are maintained in grass, they should not be mowed. The Service can provide
information on potential sources of plant material upon request.

A complete design manual that is consistent with the requirements of the North Carolina
Sedimentation and Pollution Control Act and Administrative Rules, can be found at the following
website: https:lldeq.nc.govlabout/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources.
Impervious Surfaces/Stormwater/Low Impact Development (LID). Increased development
contributes to the increased quantity and decreased quality of stormwater entering project area
waterways. Additionally, increased development outside the floodplain increases stormwater
flows already caused by the lack of or loss of riparian buffers and floodplain development. Recent
studies' have shown that areas of 10 percent to 20 percent impervious surface (such as roofs,
roads, and parking lots) double the amount of stormwater runoff compared to natural cover and
decrease deep infiltration (groundwater recharge) by 16 percent. At 35 — 50 percent impervious
surface, runoff triples, and deep infiltration is decreased by 40 percent. Above 75 percent
impervious surface, runoff is 5.5 times higher than natural cover, and deep infiltration is
decreased by 80 percent. Additionally, the adequate treatment of stormwater at project sites is
essential for the protection of water quality and aquatic habitat. Impervious surfaces also collect
pathogens, metals, sediment, and chemical pollutants and quickly transmit them (via stormwater
runoff) to receiving waters. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, this
nonpoint-source pollution is one of the major threats to water quality in the United States, posing
one of the greatest threats to aquatic life, and is also linked to chronic and acute illnesses in
human populations from exposure through drinking water and contact recreational.
Increased stormwater runoff also directly damages aquatic and riparian habitat, causing
streambank and stream channel scouring. Additionally, impervious surfaces reduce groundwater
recharge, resulting in even lower than expected stream flows during drought periods, which can
induce potentially catastrophic effects for fish, mussels, and other aquatic life. To avoid any
additional impacts to habitat quality within the watershed, we recommend that all new
developments, regardless of the percentage of impervious surface area created, implement
stormwater retention and treatment measures designed to replicate and maintain the hydrograph at
the preconstruction condition.
We recommend the use of low impact development techniques,2 such as reduced road widths,
grassed swales in place of curb and gutter, rain gardens, and wetland retention areas, for retaining
and treating stormwater runoff rather than the more traditional measures, such as large retention
ponds, etc. These designs often cost less to install and significantly reduce environmental impacts
from development.
Where detention ponds are used, stormwater outlets should drain through a vegetated area prior to
reaching any natural stream or wetland area. Detention structures should be designed to allow for
the slow discharge of stormwater, attenuating the potential adverse effects of stormwater surges;
thermal spikes; and sediment, nutrient, and chemical discharges. Also, because the purpose of
stormwater control measures is to protect streams and wetlands, no stormwater control measures
or best management practices should be installed within any stream (perennial or intermittent) or
wetland.

2We recommend visiting the Environmental Protection Agency's Web site (ht62://www.fga.goL/polluted-runoff-
nonpoint-sourcepollution/urban-runo(f--low-impact-development) for additional information and fact sheets
regarding the implementation of low -impact -development techniques.

We also recommend that consideration be given to the use of pervious materials (i.e., pervious
concrete, interlocking/open paving blocks, etc.) for the construction of roads, driveways,
sidewalks, etc. Pervious surfaces minimize changes to the hydrology of the watershed and can be
used to facilitate groundwater recharge. Pervious materials are also less likely to absorb and store
heat and allow the cooler soil below to cool the pavement. Additionally, pervious concrete
requires less maintenance and is less susceptible to freeze/thaw cracking due to large voids within
the concrete.
Use of any of the proposed stormwater collection devices described above will dramatically
decrease the quantity and increase the quality of stormwater runoff.
Stream Buffers. Natural, forested riparian buffers are critical to the health of aquatic ecosystems.
They accomplish the following:
o Catch and filter runoff, thereby helping to prevent nonpoint-source pollutants from
reaching streams.
o Enhance the in -stream processing of both point- and nonpoint-source pollutants.
o Act as "sponges" by absorbing runoff (which reduces the severity of floods) and by
allowing runoff to infiltrate and recharge groundwater levels (which maintains stream
flows during dry periods).
o Catch and help prevent excess woody debris from entering the stream and creating
logjams.
o Stabilize stream banks and maintain natural channel morphology.
o Provide coarse woody debris for habitat structure and most of the dissolved organic
carbon and other nutrients necessary for the aquatic food web.
o Maintain air and water temperatures around the stream.
Forested riparian buffers (a minimum 50 feet wide along intermittent streams and 100 feet wide
along perennial streams [or the full extent of the 100-year floodplain, whichever is greater])
should be created and/or maintained adjacent to all aquatic areas. Within the watersheds
supporting federally listed aquatic species, we recommend undisturbed, forested buffers that are
naturally vegetated with trees, shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation. These buffers should extend a
minimum of 200 feet from the banks of all perennial streams and a minimum of 100 feet from
the banks of all intermittent streams (or the full extent of the 100-year floodplain, whichever is
greater.) Impervious surfaces, ditches, pipes, roads, utility lines (sewer, water, gas, transmission,
etc.), and other infrastructure that requires maintenance, cleared rights -of -way and/or compromise
the functions and values of the forested buffers should not occur within these riparian areas.
• Stream Crossings. Bridges or spanning structures should be used for all permanent roadway
crossings of streams and associated wetlands. Structures should span the channel and the
floodplain in order to minimize impacts to aquatic resources, allow for the movement of aquatic
and terrestrial organisms, and eliminate the need to place fill in streams, wetlands, and
floodplains.
Bridges should be designed and constructed so that no piers or bents are placed in the stream,
approaches and abutments do not constrict the stream channel, and the crossing is perpendicular
to the stream. Spanning some or all of the floodplain allows stream access to the floodplain,
dissipates energy during high flows, and provides terrestrial wildlife passage. When bank
stabilization is necessary, we recommend that the use of riprap be minimized and that a
riprap-free buffer zone be maintained under the bridge to allow for wildlife movement. If fill in
the floodplain is necessary, floodplain culverts should be added through the fill to allow the
stream access to the floodplain during high flows.
4

If bridges are not possible and culverts are the only option, we suggest using bottomless culverts.
Bottomless culverts preserve the natural stream substrate, create less disturbance during
construction, and provide a more natural post -construction channel. Culverts should be of
sufficient size to leave natural stream functions and habitats at the crossing site unimpeded.
Culvert installation and presence should not change water depth, volume (flow), or velocity levels
that permit aquatic organism passage; and accommodate the movement of debris and bed material
during bankfull events. Widening the stream channel must be avoided.
• Utility Line Crossings. In the interest of reducing impacts to natural resources, utility crossings
(i.e., sewer, gas, and water lines) should be kept to a minimum, and all utility infrastructure
(including manholes) should be kept out of riparian buffer areas. If a utility crossing is necessary,
we recommend that you first consider the use of directional boring. Directional boring under
streams significantly minimizes impacts to aquatic resources and riparian buffers.
If directional boring cannot be used and trenching is determined to be the only viable method,
every effort should be made to ensure that impacts to in -stream features are minimized and
stabilized upon completion of the project. Our past experiences with open -trench crossings
indicate that this technique increases the likelihood for future lateral movement of the stream
(which could undercut or erode around the utility line), and the correction of such problems could
result in costly future maintenance and devastating impacts to natural resources. Therefore, as
much work as possible should be accomplished in the dry, and the amount of disturbance should
not exceed what can be successfully stabilized by the end of the workday. In -stream work should
avoid the spring fish spawning season and should consider forecasted high flow events.
Regardless of the crossing method, all utility lines should cross streams perpendicularly. We
strongly encourage that a qualified biologist monitor the work area until the work is complete in
order to identify any additional impact -minimization measures. The Service may be available to
assist you in this effort.
To determine if any maintenance is required, the work site should be monitored at least every 3
months during the first 24 months and annually thereafter. Moreover, we recommend the
development of a riparian monitoring and maintenance program that would outline procedures for
the prompt stabilization of streambanks near the utility crossing (should any streambank erosion
or destabilization occur) throughout the life of this project.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. Please contact Ms. Rebekah Reid of
our staff at rebekah reid(afws.gov, if you have any questions. In any future correspondence concerning
this project, please reference Log Number 4-2-23-351.

Re: Construct gas station on 3.5 acres, 101 South White Street, Marshville, Union County, ER 23-0779
Dear Ms. Webb:
Thank you for your email of March 15, 2023, regarding the above -referenced undertaking. We have reviewed
your submission and offer the following comments.
The project has the potential to adversely affect historic properties, specifically the South Marshville Historic
District (UN0480). Demolition of contributing resources within a district is considered an adverse effect which
would need to be resolved should any Federal funding, permitting, or approval be needed for the project. Based
on the information provided, we are unable to accurately assess impacts to historic properties within the Area of
Potential Effect (APE). A set of plans, existing conditions and proposed, should be provided to us for review
and comment. It should clearly indicate any extant structures over 50 years of age within the proposed
development APE and the intent regarding the structures (avoid/relocate/demolish).
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.reviewgncdcr.gov. In all future communication concerning this project, please cite the above
