October 5, 2015 12 1 9 1 20151051 OCT 6 6 2015 DENR - WATER RESOURCES 401 & BUFFER PERMITTING Subject: Pre - Construction Notification for NWP #29 for Ingleside residential development, 7115 Bud Henderson Road, Huntersville, NC Dear Ms. Higgins and Messrs. Elliott, Johnson and Tompkins, Enclosed is a request for a Nationwide Permit #29 for the proposed residential development known as Ingleside, in Huntersville, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The site was delineated during May 2015 with the onsite streams and wetlands just being identified in the proposed impact areas. As noted in the attached jurisdictional determination information and plans, there is an existing conservation easement on the property. This easement is associated with a mitigation banking site for the City of Charlotte Storm Water Services. The areas within the conservation easement were restored /enhanced per previous plans and are not included in our jurisdictional determinations or permit requests. The project area also includes a portion of a proposed sewer line extension that extends off -site (south side of Bud Henderson Road) in which this area was evaluated as well. Charlotte Office: www.wetlands- epg.com Asheville Office: 10612 -D Providence Rd. 1070 Tunnel Rd., Bldg, I PMB 550 Suite 10, FMB 283 Charlotte, NC 28277 Asheville, NC 28805 (704) 904 -2277 (628) 708 -7059 Ien.rindner@wetlands- epg -com• 1 amanda.jones@wetlands- epg.com YVEP ___ ., ... .... ..... .., ..... .. ,.... ..... .. ... . . . .. .. . Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. Proposed permanent impacts for the construction of two road crossings and sewer line total 142 linear feet of stream channel and 0.07 acre of wetlands. Approximately, 0.027 acre of wetlands is proposed for Road Crossing #1 and 122 linear feet of stream channel and 0.044 acre of wetlands is proposed for Road Crossing #2. A sewer line crossing of McDowell Creek (adjacent to Bud Henderson Road) will impact 20 linear feet of stream channel through the placement of rip rap. During the planning phases of the mitigation bank development, these access points were excluded from the site so that development could occur in the adjacent uplands therefore the location of these crossings have already pre- determined which essentially limits avoidance options other than a no -build scenario which is not practicable as these crossings are needed to access upland portions of the project. With regards to minimization efforts, the crossings have been designed to the minimum lengths needed to construct an adequate and safely sized road to service this development. Bottomless arch culverts /bridges were not evaluated due to the significant cost increase associated with these structures. Due to the minimal impacts proposed, no compensatory mitigation is being proposed. Enclosed is a copy of our Threatened /Endangered Species Evaluation for the site in which limited habitat exists for the recently listed Northern Long Eared Bat (NLEB) within the impact areas. The site is partially wooded so some minimal habitat for NLEB does exist. However, due to its location which is at least 50 miles away from a known occurrence and the fact that there will be minimal tree clearing (approximately 1 -acre or less in the impact locations), we believe this project is not likely to adversely effect the Northern Long Eared Bat and will have no effect on any other listed species or their critical in accordance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. With regards to potential cultural resources that could be affected by the project, enclosed is a cultural reconnaissance survey conducted by R.S. Webb & Associates. The entire property was evaluated in January 2015 along with gathering existing data on surrounding properties. There are no recorded sites currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) within 1.6 km of the project site. There is an existing historic house near the project boundary (Ingleside MK1471) on Bud Henderson Road and is currently not listed but would likely be considered eligible for listing in the NRHP. Currently there is a vegetated buffer that separates this property from the project site and the house is located approximately 900 -feet from the nearest proposed impact area. Based on transects and shovel testing conducted on the site, one archaeological site was found but would likely be considered ineligible for listing in the NRHP. The archaeological site is located in an upland landscape and is approximately 1,500 feet from any proposed impact area. Since none of these resources are located within the permitted areas and based on the information supplied above and in the enclosed report, we believe there will be no effect on historic resources currently listed or potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places in accordance with Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act. We appreciate the opportunity to provide this information. Please contact me at 704 - 904 -2277 or len.rindnera,,wetlands- ep2.com if you have any questions.

Rindner, PLLC. METHODOLOGY: The US Fish and Wildlife Service website http: / /www.fws.aov /endangered/ was referenced on April 11, 2015 to determine the occurrence of Threatened and Endangered species for Mecklenburg County North Carolina, the results of which are listed below (Table 1). Maps and aerial photographs were assembled and the site was investigated on January 2, 2015. Three plant species with federal protection were included in the survey efforts: • Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzh), listed as Federally Endangered, is typically found in open habitats which historically have been maintained by wildfires and grazing bison and elk herds. Now most occurrences are limited to roadsides, woodland and field edges, and utility rights -of -way (ROW). • Smooth Coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), listed as Federally Endangered, is typically found in open woods, cedar barrens, roadsides, clear cuts, dry limestone bluffs and power line rights -of -way, requiring abundant sunlight and little competition from other plant species. • Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxit), listed as Federally Endangered, requires habitat of sandy forests and woodland edges. This species requires periodic fire as a part of its ecology. A total of three animal species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in Mecklenburg County: • Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, typically inhabits forested areas near large bodies of open water such as lakes, marshes, seacoasts and rivers, where there are suitable fish populations and tall trees for nesting and roosting. • Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata), listed as Federally Endangered, is restricted to cool, clean, well -oxygenated water. Stable, silt- free stream beds are required for this species. Typically stable areas occur where the stream banks are well- vegetated with trees and shrubs. Northern Long -eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis), listed as Federally Threatened. During summer, northern long -eared bats roost singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dead trees. Males and non - reproductive females may also roost in cooler places, like caves and mines. It has also been found, rarely, roosting in structures like barns and sheds. Northern long -eared bats spend winter hibernating in caves and mines, called hibernacula. Charlotte Office: www.wetiands- epg.com Asheville Office, 10612 -D Providence Rd. 1070 Tunnel Rd., Bldg.

There are cattle being pastured on the site with a barn and outbuildings, and numerous fencerows. The streams on site have been recently restored (in part) with planted trees and wetland plants. The assemblage of plants growing in the transitional edges of the open fields and disturbed roadside includes Fescue (Festuca sp.), Johnson Grass (Sorghum halepense), Brazilian Verbena (Verbena brasiliensis), Panic Grass (Panicum sp.), Sericea Lespedeza ( Lespedeza cuneata), Love Grass (Eragrostis sp.), Ragweed Charlotte Office• www.wetlands -e pg.COm Asheville Office. 10612 -D Providence Rd. 1070 Tunnel Rd., Bldg.

(Ambrosia artemisiifolia), Curly Dock (Rumex crispus), Goldenrod (Solidago sp.), Blackberry (Rubus sp.), Winged Sumac (Rhus copallina), Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), Groundsel (Senicio sp.), Bull Thistle (Carduus pumilus), Rabbit Tobacco (Gnapthalium obtusifolium), St. John's Wort (Hypericum punctatum), Venus' Looking Glass (Specularia pen°oliata), Poke Weed (Phytolacca americana), Gamma Grass (Tripsacum dactyloides), and Purple Top (Tridens flavus). The disturbed mixed pine /hardwood stands are comprised of Short-leaf Pine (Pinus echinata), White Oak (Quercus alba), Willow Oak (Q. Phellos), Sweet Gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), Red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and Blackgum (Nyssa sy/vatica). These areas have been utilized as cattle pasture. The western slopes are covered with Loblolly Pine plantations (Pinus taeda). Endanaered /Protected Saecies Results • Although potential habitat exists for Schweinitz's Sunflower, Michaux's Sumac and Smooth Coneflower along the roadside corridor, field, and woods edges, examination of these areas revealed no occurrences on -site. • No habitat exists on the site for Bald Eagles, and there were no sightings nor were any nesting sites observed. • The on -site streams are either degraded or do not appear to have the habitat characteristics required to support populations of the Carolina Heelsplitter. Based on existing documentation, Carolina Heelsplitter populations have not been previously identified within this basin. No individuals were observed during the survey nor would any be expected on -site. • According to information supplied by USFWS, potential late spring /summer habitat exists for the Northern Long- Eared Bat (NLEB) within limited forested areas and along wooded edges on site. Most of the property is currently pasture /open agricultural lands. However, this site may be subject to section 7 and /or section 9 of the ESA which may affect tree clearing activities from May 15 through August 15. - -- - - - - - - -- - - - -- - -- -- - -- - - -- -- - - - - - - - - -- -- - - -- - -- Charlotte Office: www.wetlands- epg.com Asheville Office: 10612 -D Providence Rd. 1070 Tunnel Rd., Bldg.

Rindner, PLLC Wetlands & Environmental Planning Group 3714 Spokeshave Lane Matthews, North Carolina 28105 Subject: Findings - Cultural Resources Reconnaissance Survey Barnett Development Tract Mecklenburg County, North Carolina R.S. Webb & Associates No. 14- 649 -032 Dear Mr. Rindner: BACKGROUND During the period of January 13 through 16, 2015, R.S. Webb & Associates conducted a cultural resources literature review and field reconnaissance survey of the 129 -acre Barnett development tract in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (Figure 1). For this study a "cultural resource" is defined as a discrete area of human activity that is more than 50 years old. Cultural resources include but are not limited to archeological sites, historic structures, military earthworks, mines /mining features, historic cemeteries, and historic landscape features. The purpose of the reconnaissance survey was to determine if previously recorded cultural resources are located within the project area and to estimate the likelihood of unrecorded significant cultural resources [i.e., eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)] being present within the study tract. A secondary goal was to generally assess land use history and potential post - depositional effects on cultural resources. METHODOLOGY Literature and Records Search: Archival sources and background data on the project area were gathered from the following repositories: • North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), Raleigh, North Carolina • North Carolina Office of State Archeology (OSA), Raleigh, North Carolina • State Archives of North Carolina, Raleigh, North Carolina • The North Carolina Historic Preservation Office GIS Web Service ( HPOWEB, found at http: / /gis.ncdcr.gov/hpoweb /) • North Carolina Maps Project, found at http : / /www2.lib.unc.edu/dc /ncmaps/ Records at the OSA, including the official files and maps, were examined, followed by a review of the pertinent site forms, and manuscript/report files. At the SHPO, pertinent compliance document files, official maps, NRHP /pending files, and Mecklenburg County historic structures survey files were reviewed. The HPOWEB GIS database was also used to confirm the presence or absence of Findings - Cultural Resources Reconnaissance Survey, Barrett Development Tract Page 2 January 26, 2015 state - recognized historic resources in Mecklenburg County. At the State Archives, historic maps and aerial photographs were examined for features including trails, roads, structures, and cemeteries. Historic county maps were also viewed through North Carolina Maps, a collaboration of the University of North Carolina, the State Archives of North Carolina, and the Outer Banks History Center. The following sources were examined to search for historic resources within and adjacent to the project area: • 1910 USDA Mecklenburg County Soil Map • 1911 Post Office Department Map of Mecklenburg County • 1938 State Highway and Public Works Commission Maps of Mecklenburg County • 1938, 1951, and 1968 Aerial Photographs of Mecklenburg County Reconnaissance Field Survey: The field reconnaissance was designed to sample areas likely to contain prehistoric and/or historic resources. The Project Archeologist walked transects across the project area landforms shown in Figure 2. Exposed areas, such as road cuts, trails, tree falls, and eroding banks, were examined for artifacts. To monitor subsurface conditions, screened shovel tests were excavated at 30 -meter (m) intervals along most reconnaissance transects. Occasionally, shovel test intervals along the sloping edges of ridge lines were expanded to 60 m. Shovel testing involves the excavation of 30-by-30-centimeter (cm) pits and screening the soils through 0.64 -cm hardware cloth to enhance the recovery of artifacts. Cultural resources were recorded and photographed, and their locations plotted on the project map. RESULTS Literature and Records Search Previous Archeological Investigations: According to maps on file at the OSA, there have been no cultural resources management projects performed within 1.6 kilometers (km) (1.0 mile) of the project area. Previous Architecturallnvestigations: According to SHPO personnel, the North Carolina HPOWEB database is the definitive source of architectural survey information for Mecklenburg County. National Register of Historic Places: A review of National Register files and maps indicates that there are no NRHP- listed properties within 1.6 km of the project area (Figure 1). Previously Recorded Archeological Sites: According to OSA records there are no previously recorded archeological sites located within 1.6 km of the project area. Mecklenburg County Historic Structures Survey: According to the North Carolina HPOWEB database, there are three recorded historic structures located within 600 m of the project area. They include Resource MK -1454 (Carl Beard House) located approximately 580 m north, Resource MK- 1464 (Davidson McDonald House) located about 600 m southwest, and Resource MK -1471 (Sunnyside or Ingleside Plantation) located in a project area out - parcel on the north side of Bud Henderson Road (Figure 1). The last named historic resource (only the plantation house itself) was Findings - Cultural Resources Reconnaissance Survey, Barrett Development Tract Page 3 January 26, 2015 designated a county landmark property by the Charlotte - Mecklenburg Historic Properties Commission in 1977. Revolutionary War Actions /Features: Following the Battle of Charlotte (September 26, 1780) and a brief occupation of the town, the British abandoned hope of gaining support among the citizens of central and western North Carolina. In the wake of their surprising defeat at the Battle of Cowpens (January 17, 1781), the British turned their attention to the destruction of the American Continental Army, which was moving eastward to rendezvous and resupply at Salisbury. A group of North Carolina militia were posted to guard roads leading from the ferries and fords of the Catawba River and to delay the British pursuit. On February 1, 1781, the British attempted to cross a portion of their army at Cowan's Ford, about three miles northwest of the project area. A brief battle ensued which resulted in the death of militia General William Lee Davidson. The battle had little effect on British momentum, but their pursuit of the American army concluded at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse (Greensboro, North Carolina) on March 15, 1781 (Cross 2006). Civil War Actions /Features: Review of the Official Military Atlas of the Civil War (Davis et al. 1983) shows that the Union army passed through Lancaster County, South Carolina in the fall of 1864 and turned eastward to Waynesboro, thus bypassing the Mecklenburg County area. While there were no nearby Civil War - related military skirmishes or engagements, raiding and foraging could certainly have taken place all across the project region. Historic Cemeteries: No recorded historic cemeteries are located within or abutting the project area, and none appear on historic maps and aerial photographs. Structures on Historic Maps and Aerial Photographs: The 1910 USDA Soil Map and the 1911 County Commissioner's maps of Mecklenburg County show no structures located in the project area. The course of the current Bud Henderson Road appears relatively unchanged from that depicted on these early 201h century maps. A minor, north - south - trending road appears immediately east of the project area, but its course is no longer present or in use (Figure 1). Structures appear on the north side of Bud Henderson Road, in the project area out - parcel, at or near the southeast project corner, and west of the intersection with the minor road (Figure 1). The 1938 Mecklenburg County highway map shows a group of four structures located at or near the project area out - parcel and a structure at or near the southeast project corner. Neither the minor road nor the structure located at its intersection with Bud Henderson Road appear on the 1938 map. Aerial photographs taken in 1938 show that, generally, the north half of the project tract was wooded and the south half was under cultivation. The current northeast project boundary line is clearly discernible on the 1938 aerial photograph. The course of Bud Henderson Road and the distribution of structures are similar to the early 201h century maps. The exceptions are three structures that appear, aligned north -south along the east side of the creek, in the project area (Figure 1). A tertiary road leading north from Bud Henderson Road, along the west side of the out - parcel, linked these structures (Figure 1). The structures located in the project area, and the road associated with them, are not detectable on the 1951 aerial photographs, but they were located in a heavily wooded section of the project area. The structure located at or near the southeast project corner does not appear on the 1951 aerial photographs. The current northeast project boundary line was still clearly visible in Findings - Cultural Resources Reconnaissance Survey, Barrett Development Tract Page 4 January 26, 2015 1951 and in 1968, and land use practices appear to have been relatively unchanged from the earlier aerial photos. Two of the three structures in the project area were distinguishable in 1968. Field Reconnaissance Land Use: Figure 2 shows that the project area consists primarily of moderate to steep side slopes, ridge ends and ridge spurs approaching tributaries to McDowell Creek from the east, west and north. Where not deeply incised, floodplains tend to be poorly drained or subject to flooding. Field observations indicate that the project area has been subjected to very harsh land use practices related to initial clearing/logging, exhaustive farming, severe erosion, and especially contour terracing. The project area is a mix of pastured fields and clearcut areas. Shovel test data from the current reconnaissance survey confirm eroded to highly eroded A- horizon sandy loam, to silt loam, to clay loam over compact clay subsoil across the project area. A- horizon deposits measured 30 cm in depth at one location; over 90 percent of the deposits were 10 cm or less in thickness. Archeological Resources: Shovel tests were conducted along 23 transects, traversing landforms with a high probability for containing archeological sites (Figure 2). As a result, one prehistoric archeological site was recorded. The low site density is probably due to the highly eroded nature of the project area (i.e., overall lack of original A- horizon soils), subsequent early to middle 201h century soil conservation efforts (i.e., terracing), and the moderate to steep slope across much of the project area. Archeological Site 1: This site is a prehistoric lithic scatter located on a west - facing ridge end in the north central portion of the project area.; a tributary to McDowell Creek is about 110 m to the west (Figure 2). Shovel tests at the site revealed 10 to 20 cm of grayish -brown loamy sand, over 10 cm of mottled brownish -red to yellowish -red clay loam, over yellowish -red clay. Three quartz artifacts were recovered from two positive shovel tests. These included one thinning flake and two flake fragments. The artifacts suggest only that lithic reduction activities took place at this location during an unknown period in prehistory. This site appears to be confined to the plowzone and has been severely scattered and disturbed by 19`h and early to middle 20`h century land use practices. On this basis, Site 1 is probably ineligible for the NRHP. Historic Resources: No historic architecture or other historic features were recorded within the project area. As noted above, Sunnyside or Ingleside Plantation (Resource MK -1471) is located in a project out - parcel on the north side of Bud Henderson Road (Figures 1, 2, and 3). Reportedly constructed shortly after the Civil War (circa 1867 to 1873), Ingleside appears to be a good example of Italianate style and is likely eligible for the NRHP under eligibility Criteria A (broad pattern in history), B (association with a prominent individual), and C (architecture). This house and surrounding yards /grounds are considered an "historic landmark" by Charlotte - Mecklenburg County. It appears that there is adequate mature vegetation within the Ingleside tract to buffer view of the proposed development. However, is recommended that a vegetative buffer be maintained along the common boundary between Ingleside and the project area. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Research revealed that no previously recorded cultural resources are located within the project area. The current reconnaissance field survey identified one severely disturbed prehistoric lithic scatter that does not meet NRHP eligibility criteria. Findings - Cultural Resources Reconnaissance Survey, Barrett Development Tract Page 5 January 26, 2015 Ingleside Plantation, a local Historic Landmark, abuts the project area boundary on the north side of Bud Henderson Road. A vegetative buffer between this property and the project area is recommended to buffer the view of the project area from Ingleside.
