Resource Environmental Solutions (RES) is pleased to present this Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) Form for the
Falcon Ridge Mitigation Project located in Randolph County, North Carolina (35.787000,-79.865000). This project will
be part of the RES Yadkin 03 Umbrella Mitigation Bank and will provide mitigation credits to offset unavoidable impacts
to stream and wetland resources within the Yadkin 03 River Basin (8-digit USGS HUC 03040103). As part of this scope
of work, RES is submitting this package to the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NC DWR) and the US Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE), providing an assessment of temporary and permanent impacts associated with the stream
and wetland mitigation that will occur during the construction of this project.
The Falcon Ridge Mitigation Project (the "Project") is comprised of a 59.98-acre conservation easement contained within
three parcels, in Randolph County, NC. The Project will involve the restoration, enhancement, and preservation of 11
unnamed tributaries of Caraway Creek (located offsite), including one pond removal effort, and the rehabilitation and
enhancement of seven jurisdictional wetlands as well as creation of additional wetlands. Through stream restoration,
enhancement, and preservation, the Project presents 11,014 linear feet (LF) of proposed stream resources. Through
wetland rehabilitation, enhancement, and creation, the Project presents 3.900 acres of proposed wetlands.
Upon submittal of this PCN, aquatic resource features including streams and wetlands were revised based on
professional survey, and Aquatic IDs, lengths, and areas have been updated accordingly in the attached "Revised Aquatic
Resources" table. A revised WOTUS map is also included.
The proposed Project will provide improvements to water quality, hydrologic function, habitat, and floodplain
connectivity. The Project will address stressors identified in the watershed through nutrient removal, sediment removal,
runoff filtration, and improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact me at [phone]
or [e-mail] if you have any additional question regarding this matter.
Sincerely,

Resource Environmental Solutions (RES) is pleased to present this request for a Preliminary Jurisdictional
Determination for the Falcon Ridge Mitigation Project (the "Project") (SAW-2022-00424) located in
Randolph County, North Carolina (35.7870,-79.8650). This mitigation bank will provide mitigation credits
to offset unavoidable impacts to stream and wetland resources within the Yadkin 03 River Basin (8-digit
USGS HUC 03040103). As part of this scope of work, RES is submitting this request to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers for a confirmation of the limits of Waters of the U.S. on the subject site.
The Project consists of two parcels totaling 60.53 acres of conservation easement. Please note the parcels
containing the Project study area are not currently owned by RES. The Project will involve the restoration,
enhancement, and preservation of eight unnamed tributaries to Caraway Creek. The Project's existing land -
use is primarily characterized by agriculture, forests, and low -intensity residential areas.
The proposed Project will provide improvements to water quality, hydrologic function, and habitat and will
address stressors identified in the watershed by reducing non -point source nutrient and sediment pollution,
restoring, and improving wetland functions, and improving aquatic and terrestrial habitat.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact me at (919)
345-3034 or jschmidkres.us if you have any additional question regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Schmid I Senior Ecologist

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERNIINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
7 I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminM 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

1) 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. Data reviewed for PJD (check all that apply)
Checked items should be included in subject file. Appropriately reference sources

Dear Mr. Breslow:
This letter is in reference to your prospectus document dated April 2022, for the
proposed RES Yadkin 03 Umbrella Mitigation Bank and Falcon Ridge Mitigation Project.
The proposal consists of the establishment and operation of a commercial umbrella
mitigation bank, and the associated 60.53-acre Falcon Ridge Mitigation Project, located
northeast of the intersection of Plainfield Road and Spero Road, in Randleman, Randolph
County, (35.787' N,-79.8650 W). The proposed bank would include stream and wetland
restoration, enhancement and preservation activities within the Yadkin River Basin (8-
digit hydrologic unit code (HUC): 03040103).
The Corps determined the Prospectus was complete and issued a public notice (P/N
# SAW-2022-00424) on April 21, 2022. The purpose of this notice was to solicit the
views of interested State and Federal agencies and other parties either interested in or
affected by the proposed work. Attached are comments received in response to the
public notice from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the North Carolina
Department of Natural and Cultural Resources State Historic Preservation Office, and
the Catawba Indian Nation.
The Corps has considered the comments received from members of the Interagency
Review Team (IRT) and information that was discussed during an IRT site review on
March 16, 2022. We have determined that the proposed mitigation bank appears to
have the potential to restore, enhance and preserve aquatic resources within the 8-digit
HUC 03040103 of the Yadkin River Basin. Therefore, the bank sponsor may proceed
with preparation of a draft UMBI.

Please provide a response to the attached comments with your draft UMBI
submittal. We appreciate your interest in restoring and protecting waters of the United
States. If you have questions regarding this letter, please contact Ms. Sam Dailey at the
Raleigh Regulatory Field Office by email at Samantha. J.Dailey(o-)-usace.army. miI or
telephone [phone], Extension 22.

Dear Mrs. Dailey:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the project advertised in the above
referenced Public Notice. The project, as advertised in the Public Notice, is expected to have
minimal adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Therefore, we have no objection to the
activity as described in the permit application.
In accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, (ESA) and based on the
information provided, and other available information, it appears the action is not likely to
adversely affect federally listed species or their critical habitat as defined by the ESA. We believe
that the requirements of section 7 (a)(2) of the ESA have been satisfied for this project. Please
remember that obligations under the ESA must be reconsidered if: (1) new information identifies
impacts of this action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously
considered; (2) this action is modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a
new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
For your convenience a list of all federally protected endangered and threatened species in North
Carolina is now available on our website at https://www.fws.gov/office/eastern-north-carolina.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to review and provide comments on the proposed action.
Should you have any questions regarding the project, please contact Kathy Matthews at (919) 856-
4520, extension 27.
Sincerely,
k+.'-

SUBJECT: Environmental Review of the Golden Hills Mitigation Site, Guilford County, North
Carolina.
Dear Ms. Ulman,
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) received your request for
review and comments on any possible concerns regarding the Falcon Ridge Mitigation Site. Comments
are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as
amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667e) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
The Falcon Ridge Mitigation Site is located west of Plainfield Road and northeast of Momingdew Drive
near the town of Sophia, Randolph County, North Carolina. The proposed project would restore and/or
enhance ten unnamed tributaries to Caraway Creek in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River basin. The existing land
use is predominately agriculture, including active cattle and hay pasture, and forest.
We have no known records of state or federal rare, threatened, or endangered species at the site; however,
the lack of records from the site does not imply or confirm the absence of federal or state -listed species.
An on -site survey is the only means to determine if the proposed project may impact federal or state rare,
threatened, or endangered species. Downstream of the site, we have records of the state endangered
Carolina creekshell (Villosa vaughaniana) and brook floater (Alasmidonta varicosa); state threatened
creeper (Strophitus undulatus), notched rainbow (V. constricta), and federal threatened Atlantic pigtoe
(Fusconaia masoni); and state significantly rare eastern creekshell (V. delumbis).
Stream mitigation projects often improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Establishing native, forested
buffers in riparian areas will help protect water quality, improve aquatic and terrestrial habitats, and
provide a travel corridor for wildlife species. We offer the following general recommendations to
minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources:
1. We recommend riparian buffers are as wide as possible, given site constraints and landowner
needs. NCWRC generally recommends a woody buffer of 100 feet on perennial streams to
maximize the benefits of buffers, including bank stability, stream shading, treatment of overland
runoff, and wildlife habitat.

2. We recommend a plant list that consists of species typically found in reference streams and the
appropriate natural vegetation community, as described by M.P. Schafale in The Guide To The
Natural Communities of North Carolina, Fourth Approximation
(https://www.ncnhp.org/references/nhp-publications/fourth-approximation-descriptions). Also,
ensure the species planted occur naturally within Guilford County.
3. Minimize crossings within the easement.
4. Avoid tree clearing activities during the maternity roosting season for bats (May 15 — August 15)
because of the decline in populations of several bat species, including the federally proposed
endangered tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus).
5. Use stringent sediment and erosion control measures.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments. If I can be of additional assistance, please call (336)

Dear Matthew DeAngelo:
❑. Reid Wilson, Secretary

Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
IN \�NM1UDTM NO=
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.
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 rod ney.butler�ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
