D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The initial project design avoided waters in the central valley to the maximum extent practicable while facilitating suitable grading pads for buildings
and access to those home sites. Since at least rough grading of the residential layout was done in late 2000s, the same layout is again proposed to
minimize earth work. Due to property boundaries, setbacks, and MSD requirements for alignment of the municipal sewer line connection, wetland and
stream impacts are unavoidable. The sewer corridor impacts are being minimized but restoring wetland areas in the temporary work corridor.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Sediment and erosion control measures and best management practices would be utilized on -site. Stream culvert installations are to be performed in
the dry. Pump around / dewatering details are included (Figure 5.1-5.2).

PCN Form Additional Information
Section B.3e Project Description - Details
This proposed project, referred to as the Springs of North Asheville Phase 2, is to complete the
residential development originally planned for this site in the early 2000s. Due to the economic
recession around 2008, the permitted residential development (Appendix B) was not completed.
The residential development west of the center stream was conducted and the houses are nearly
finished being built. The culvert to cross the center valley was installed where no stream channel
was present, but a wetland impact was conducted. The area east of the stream was cleared and
graded, but not developed.
The current project layout (Figure 5.0) is similar to the permitted 2006 layout but has been updated
to current standards. Previously permitted impact areas that were not conducted are again
proposed to a similar extent. Current Impact S3 overlaps the 2006 Impact 3 area. Currently an
approximately 12ft long section of stream channel is present where there is a gap in culverts near
the center of the 2006 Impact 3 Area. The existing approximately 50-foot-long culvert will be
replaced when Impact S3 is conducted. The current Impact W3 corresponds to the 2006 Impact
1 area (not conducted). Current Impact S4 was not applied for in 2006 due to the stream channel
not being present in 2006. This channel is a headcut in a man-made impoundment that goes
underground.
A connection to the municipal sewer line and associated impact areas have been added. Due to
the property alignment and location of suitable sewer tie-in location (based on Buncombe County
MSD feedback), the center stream must be crossed twice. The required sewer alignment will
include a wetland crossing that is approximately 150 LF. A corridor up to 40 feet wide will be
cleared and temporarily disturbed for the excavation and installation of the sewer line. The 20ft
wide maintenance easement will be returned and converted from PSS to a PEM emergent
wetland once the installation is complete. The wetland restoration plan for temporarily cleared
areas outside the maintained easement is found in Figures 5.1 and 5.3.
The current impact map shows the 2019 AJD delineation. The 2021 permitted stream restoration
(Appendix C) project area was not re -delineated for WOTUS. Therefore, the open water/emergent
wetland complex is still shown on the current site plan. Photos of the restored area taken in
January 2024 are included in Appendix E. Please note the restoration/impact plan figure for these
permits incorrectly notes 01 as 0.242 ac when it was 0.424 ac.
Total cumulative permanent wetland loss (non -restoration based) totals 0.171 ac. The 0.007 acres
of impact was to "freshwater forest" wetland type in 2006. Current proposed permanent wetland
impacts occur to palustrine scrub -shrub wetland types. A mitigation ratio of 1.5:1 is requested for
mitigation of these wetland impacts due to type and low NCWAM ratings.
The proposed tie-in location to existing municipal water supply line is located in the road shoulder
of Old Marshall Highway and the on -site alignment will not impact waters.
A Nationwide Permit 29 and 58 (if needed), and Individual Water Quality Certification(s) are
requested to authorize the impacts to Waters of the US on site.
Typical construction equipment will be used on site including excavators, dump trucks, etc

Section B.5b Project History - Details
Two Nationwide/General Permits and one Individual Water quality Certification have previously
been issued by the Corps and NC DWR on the project site.
The 2006 permit was for residential development of the entire site. The economic recession
around 2007 lead to only a portion of the permitted impact areas and housing to be constructed.
The 2021 permits were for voluntarily restoration of a failing man-made pond with severe headcut
at the outfall into a stream and wetland. This area was a safety concern.
The table below summarizes the approved impacts and what was conducted. Cumulative impact
areas for streams was determined from previous PCN forms and old GPS data. Copies of the
404/401 approvals are included in Appendix B and C.

A. Preliminary Determination
❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. Therefore
this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory
mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection
measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any
way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an
appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may

❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403).
However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.

Jurisdictional wetlands and waters identified on this map
have been located within sub -meter accuracy utilizing a
Trimble mapping grade Global Positioning System (GPS)
and the subsequent differential correction of that data.
GPS points may demonstrate uncorrectable errors due to
topography, vegetative cover, and/or multipath signal
error.
Note: The illustrated wetland and stream locations are
approximate. These areas have been flagged in the field;
however, they have not been surveyed. Although
Clearwater Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) is
confident in our assessment, the US Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps) is the only agency that can make final
decisions regarding jurisdictional wetland and waters of
the US delineations. Therefore, all preliminary
determinations are subject to change until written
verification is obtained. CEC strongly recommends that
written verification be obtained from the Corps prior to
closing on the property, beginning any site work, or
making any legal reliance on this determination.
This map was prepared by CEC using the best
information available to CEC at the time of production.
This map is for informational purposes only and should
not be used to determine precise boundaries, roadways,
property boundary lines, nor legal descriptions. This map
shall not be construed to be an official survey of any data
depicted.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The following report includes methods used and results for a threatened and endangered
species survey and habitat assessment for the proposed approximately 19-acre project
known as Springs of North Asheville Phase 2. The study area occupies a mostly forested
tract along the north side of Old Marshall Highway in Woodfin, North Carolina. A residential
development is proposed on this site. The tract is in Buncombe County, North Carolina
(Figure 1). The site ranges in elevation from 2,116 feet to 2,336 feet above mean sea level
(MSL) (Figure 2).
The threatened and endangered species survey was conducted to determine the
occurrence of or the potential for existence of federally listed threatened and endangered
animal and plant species within the study area (Figure 3). Completion of this survey was
directed by and complies with three current state and federal regulations: the Federal
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543), the North Carolina Endangered
Species Act (N.C.G.S. Sect. 113 article 25), and the North Carolina Plant Protection and
Conservation Act of 1979 (N.C.G.S. Sect. 19b 106: 202.12-22).
2.0 METHODOLOGY
The protected species surveys and habitat assessment was conducted on January 24,
2024, on the approximately 19-acre project by ClearWater Environmental Consultants, an
EnviroScience Company (ClearWater) to determine the potential for occurrences of animal
and plant species listed as endangered or threatened by current federal regulations.
An official species list was obtained through the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)
Information and Planning and Consultation (IPaC) on December 19, 2023. This species list
provides existing data concerning the presence or potential occurrence of threatened or
endangered species in the defined project boundary (Appendix A). The FWS lists five
federally threatened and endangered species, in addition to the bog turtle (threatened due
to similar appearance), as occurring or potentially occurring in the project boundary.

Project #18650 Springs of North Asheville Ph 2

During pedestrian field surveys conducted by ClearWater biologists, site habitats were
identified and compared with recognized habitats for six federally protected species
potentially occurring on the site. Potential flora were identified to the taxonomic unit level
necessary to determine if the observed specimen was a protected species.
3.0 HABITAT CLASSIFICATION
During our site visit on January 24, 2024, ClearWater biologists Tyson Kurtz and Eric
Romaniszyn identified four habitats: stream, mesic mixed -hardwood forest, pine scrub
forest, and headwater wetland (Figure 4). A general overview of the site and descriptions
of each habitat type are included below.
The project site includes a central north facing valley and an early successional pine forest
to the east. In the early 2000s this site was slated for high -density residential development.
The site was rough graded and stormwater infrastructure was partially installed. The
development was abandoned around 2007 and the site was left fallow. The western half of
the housing development (outside of current project area) continued to be slowly built but
the current project area has since turned into a dense pine thicket. The central valley was
left uncut by the initial development activity in the early 2000s. Prior to the residential
development attempt, the site was used for agriculture and several abandoned ponds
have since turned into wetlands.
3.1 Stream
The central stream is an unnamed tributary to Wagner Branch and originates
within the project boundary. The stream ranges in width from 2-4 feet wide and has
a shallow bed. Stream substrate is mostly gravel and excessive fine sediments.
Several smaller tributaries lead to the central stream. These smaller streams go in
and out partially installed culverts and are 1-2 feet wide with gravel and cobble
substrate. The stream channel was recently restored through the open water pond
shown in Figure 4 at the north end of the project site. Wetlands are reforming in
remainder of the former pond area.
3.2 Mesic Mixed -Hardwood Forest
The mesic mixed -hardwood forest habitat occurs along the central valley where a
strip of forest remained while the rest of the site was clear cut for development.
Invasive shrubs and vines have encroached on this habitat along the existing
residential development side. Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) and white pine
(Pinus strobus) are the dominant species in the tree canopy. Additional tree
species observed include black cherry (Prunus serotina), northern red oak
(Quercus rubra), shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata), white oak (Quercus albs),
sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum), Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana), eastern
sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), red maple (Acer rubrum), and ash (Fraxinus
sp.). The woody understory is dense with saplings of the aforementioned tree
species along with American holly (Ilex opaca), American beech (Fagus
grandifolia), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), Chinse privet (Ligustrum sinense),
flowering dogwood (Benthamidia florida), and blackberry (Rubus sp.). The
herbaceous stratum is generally sparse with the density of woody species.
Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) is the dominant herbaceous
species. Goldenrod (Solidago sp.), rattlenske plantain orchid (Goodyera
Clearwater Environmental Consultants, an EnviroScience Company Page 3
Project #18650 Springs of North Asheville Ph 2

pubescens), and Chinese silver grass (Miscanthus sinensis) were also observed.
The vine layer is dense around the edges and includes oriental bittersweet
(Celastrus orbiculatus), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), grape (Vitis
sp.), roundleaf greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), and poison ivy (Toxicodendron
radicans).
3.3 Pine Scrub Forest
The eastern hillside is composed of a very dense stand of young pines ranging
from 3-6 inches diameter at breast height (DBH). This area was clearcut and
rough graded around 2006 for a residential development that was never installed.
White pine and Virginia pine are the dominant species with sparse amounts of
tulip poplar, black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), and oaks (Quercus spp.) mixed
in. The herbaceous layer was nearly absent with only stripped wintergreen
(Chimaphila maculata) under the dense pines. Chinese silver grass occupied the
pine scrub edges along the dirt roads that cross through this habitat.
3.4 Headwater Wetland
Multiple headwater wetlands are located along the central valley of the site.
These wetlands are primarily scrub -shrub vegetation with pockets dominated by
emergent vegetation. All these wetlands show signs of excessive sedimentation
and have numerous stormwater culverts draining into them. Young trees and
mature shrubs in the wetlands average 3-5 inches DBH.
The sparse tree canopy is composed of black willow (Salix nigra), tulip poplar,
and pussy willow (Salix discolor). The dense shrub layer includes tag alder
(Alnus serrulata), multiflora rose, spicebush (Lindera benzoin), red maple, and
Chinese privet. The herbaceous layer is dense in canopy gaps and moderately
dense elsewhere in this habitat. Herbaceous species observed include common
rush (Juncus effusus), Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum), multiple
sedge species (Carex spp.), swamp aster (Symphyotrichum puniceum), tall
ironweed (Vernonia gigantea), arrowleaf tearthumb (Persicaria sagittata),
common cattail (Typha lattifolia), jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), bur -reed
(Sparganium americanum), and witchgrass (Dichanthelium sp.). Japanese
honeysuckle was observed scattered throughout this habitat in the vine and
herbaceous layers.
3.5 Soils
Soils mapped by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Buncombe
County Soil Survey are listed in Table 2 and shown in Figure 5 (NRCS 2023).

4.0 PROTECTED SPECIES
The following is a brief description of each federally listed species included in the survey, its
recognized habitat, and comments regarding survey results for that species.
4.1 Bog Turtle
The bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii) is
federally listed as threatened in North Carolina.
This is the smallest emydid turtle, and one of
the smallest turtles in the world. Adult
carapace length is 7.9 to 11.4 cm (3.1 to 4.5
inches). The dark brown or black carapace
may be marked with radiating light lines or a
light blotch on the vertebral and pleural scutes.
Scute annuli are usually prominent in juvenile
and young adult specimens, but the carapace
ma be nearl smooth in old adults The head
Y Y
neck, and limbs are typically dark brown with variable reddish to yellow spots and
streaks. A large reddish -orange to yellow blotch is visible behind and above
each tympanum, sometimes merging into a continuous band on the neck. The
upper jaw is weakly notched. The plastron is brown or black, but often with
lighter yellow blotches towards the medial and anterior scute edges. A mature
male bog turtle has a concave plastron and a long, thick tail, with the vent
posterior to the rear edge of the carapace with tail extended. The female has a
flat plastron and a thinner, smaller tail, with the vent at or beneath the rear
carapace edge.
The southern population of the bog turtle, ranging from southern Virginia to
northern Georgia, is also protected with a threatened designation because its
physical appearance is similar to the northern population. The southern bog
turtle population is separated from the northern population by approximately 250
miles. However, individual bog turtles in the southern population closely
resemble individuals in the northern bog turtle population, causing difficulty in
enforcing prohibitions protecting the northern population. Therefore, the FWS
has designated the southern population as "threatened (similarity of
appearance)." This designation prohibits collecting individual turtles from this
population and bans interstate and international commercial trade. It has no

Project #18650 Springs of North Asheville Ph 2

effect on land management activities of private landowners in southern states
where the bog turtle lives.
Potentially suitable habitat for bog turtle was not found on site. The headwater
wetland habitats lack the deep organic soils needed to support bog turtles. These
wetlands also have excessive sedimentation and are too small in area for bog
turtles. Lastly, the northern population of bog turtle does not occur in North
Carolina. It is the opinion of ClearWater that the proposed project would have no
effect on the northern bog turtle.
4.2 Gray Bat
The gray bat (Myotis grisescens) is the largest member of its genus in the eastern
United States. Its forearm measures 40-46 mm, and it weighs from 7-16 grams. It
is easily distinguished from all other bats within its range by its mono -colored fur.
All other eastern bats have distinctly bi-or tri-colored fur on their backs. Following
molt in July or August, gray bats are dark gray, but they often bleach to chestnut
brown or russet between molts (especially apparent in reproductive females
during May and June). The wing membrane connects to the foot at the ankle
rather than at the base of the first toe, as in other species of Myotis. Gray bats
roost in caves year-round. Most winter caves are deep and vertical; all provide
large volume below the lowest entrance and act as cold air traps. A much wider
variety of cave types are used during spring and fall transient periods. In
summer, maternity colonies prefer caves that act as warm air traps or that
provide restricted rooms or domed ceilings that are capable of trapping the
combined body heat from thousands of clustered individuals.
No naturally occurring suitable habitat (caves) for the gray bat was observed on
this site. It is the opinion of ClearWater that this project would have no effect on
this species.
4.3 Mountain Sweet Pitcher Plant
Mountain sweet pitcher plant (Sarracenia rubra ssp. jonesii) is a carnivorous
perennial herb with tall, hollow pitcher -shaped leaves and red sweet-smelling
flowers. The hollow leaves contain liquid and enzymes. When insects fall into
the pitchers, they are digested and the nutrients are incorporated into the plant's
tissues. The evolutionary role of carnivory in such plants is not fully understood,
but some evidence indicates that absorption of minerals from insect prey may
allow carnivorous species to compete in nutrient -poor habitats. The unusual red
flowers (yellow in rare cases) appear from April to June, with fruits ripening in
August. Flowering plants reach heights of 29 inches. Very little specific
information is available on the biology of the mountain sweet pitcher plant. Like
other pitcher plants, it has rhizomes that are probably long-lived and capable of
persisting and reproducing vegetatively for decades without producing seedlings.
Mountain sweet pitcher plant occurs in mountain bogs.
Potentially suitable habitat for the mountain sweet pitcher plant was not observed
on site. No mountain bogs are present. It is the opinion of Clearwater that the
proposed project would have no effect on this species.

Project #18650 Springs of North Asheville Ph 2

4.4 Northern Long-eared Bat
The Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis), is a medium-sized
bat about 3 to 3.7 inches in length but with a wingspan of 9 to 10 inches. As its
name suggests, this bat is distinguished by its long ears, particularly as
compared to other bats in its genus, Myotis, which are actually bats noted for
their small ears (Myotis means mouse -eared). The NLEB is found across much
of the eastern and north central United States and all Canadian provinces from
the Atlantic coast west to the southern Northwest Territories and eastern British
Columbia. NLEBs spend winter hibernating in caves and mines, called
hibernacula. They typically use large caves or mines with large passages and
entrances; constant temperatures; and high humidity with no air currents.
Summer habitat for the NLEB consists of the cavities, hollows, cracks, or loose
bark of live or dead trees typically greater than three inches DBH (diameter at
breast height).
No naturally occurring suitable wintering habitat for the NLEB exists within the
property boundary. The forested areas on site are considered a potentially
suitable summer habitat for NLEB.
Due to the presence of suitable summer habitat, the FWS will likely restrict tree
clearing on site during the bat's active season (April 1 - October 14). Conducting
a bat survey near the start of the active summer season could confirm or deny
the presence of this species on site. A negative presence/absence survey result
may be able to waive the tree clearing moratorium. The window for conducting
presence/absence surveys is June 1 - August 15.
It is the opinion of ClearWater that tree clearing conducted between October 15
and March 31 should support a may affect, not likely to adversely affect
determination for this species.
During U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) review of proposed
wetland/stream impacts a determination will be made if the tree cutting
moratorium applies to portions or all of the site.
4.5 Rock Gnome Lichen
Federally listed as an endangered species, rock gnome lichen (Gymnoderma
lineare) occurs on rocks in areas of high humidity either at high elevations
(usually vertical cliff faces) or on boulders and large rock outcrops in deep river
gorges at lower elevations. Distinguishing characteristics include dense colonies
of narrow (.04 inch) straps that are blue -grey on the upper surface and generally
shiny -white on the lower surface. Near the base they grade to black (the similar
species of Squamulose cladonias are never blackened toward the base).
Fruiting bodies are borne at the tips of the straps and are black (similar Cladonia
species have brown or red fruiting bodies). Flowering occurs July through
September.
Suitable habitat for this species was not observed within the project boundary.
No rock outcrops are present within the project boundary and the site is too low
in elevation. Rock gnome lichen habitat is typically above 5,000 feet, where
Clearwater Environmental Consultants, an EnviroScience Company Page 7

clouds or fog provide regular moisture
opinion of ClearWater that the proposed
gnome lichen.
4.6 Tricolored Bat
required for suitable habitat. It is the
project would have no effect on the rock
Tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) is a small -sized bat that averages 3 to 3.5
inches in length with an average wingspan of approximately 9 inches. The fur
color varies from yellow to brown to black, with younger individuals generally
having darker coloration. The key characteristic, as the name suggests, is their
tricolored back, which is a gradient from dark near the tail, light in the middle, and
dark near the head.
The tricolored bat is found across the eastern half of
North America. In winter months, this species
hibernates in humid caves. Specifically in the
southeastern US, they have also been found
hibernating in road culverts and occasionally in tree
cavities. In the spring, summer, and fall, when this
species is not hibernating, they can be found in open
forests, forest edges, and occasionally in crevices of old
buildings. Their diet is composed almost exclusively of
flying insects, typically foraged from open fields and
waterways along forested areas.
This species is currently listed as proposed endangered
by the USFWS as of September 13, 2022. No formal federal management
guidelines for protecting this species and its associated habitat have been
released from USFWS. USFWS has 12 months after the closure of the public
notice period (ended November 14, 2022) to determine the final listing status of
this species. If this species becomes listed as threatened or endangered, federal
management guidelines will be set in place to minimize adverse impacts. As of
the date of this report, a decision on the proposed listing status for this species
has not been determined by FWS.
Potentially suitable summer habitat for this species was observed on site. The
forested areas contain several snags and trees with loose bark. Until
management guidelines from USFWS are published, it is anticipated that a tree
clearing moratorium would be put into place from approximately April 1 through
October 14 if the proposed endangered listing becomes effective.
ClearWater recommends avoiding tree clearing in the active season for this
species, April 1 - October 14, to minimize potential impacts to this species. If
seasonal tree clearing is conducted in winter months, it would be the opinion of
ClearWater that this project may affect but is not likely to adversely affect the
tricolored bat.
If this species becomes listed as endangered, then during Corps review of
proposed wetland/stream impacts a determination will be made if the tree cutting
moratorium applies to portions or all of the site.

5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
During completion of threatened and endangered species habitat assessment for the
Springs of North Asheville Phase 2 project site, ClearWater observed potentially suitable
summer habitat for the NLEB and tricolored bat.
To avoid potential impacts to NLEB, ClearWater recommends conducting tree clearing
activities from October 15 - March 31. Tree clearing in the inactive season for NLEB
would support a may affect, not likely to adversely affect determination for this species.
During Corps of Engineers review of proposed wetland/stream impacts a determination will
be made by the Corps specifically related to the tree cutting moratorium and if this
moratorium applies to portions or all of the site.
Any updates to the proposed listing of the tri-colored bat will also be provided if those
updates occur prior to commencement of this project.
It is ClearWater's opinion that the residential development of the Springs of North Asheville
Phase 2 tract is not likely to adversely affect the federally protected species listed as
potentially occurring on site, with the potential exception of NLEB.
A bat survey was not conducted to formally confirm or deny the presence of federally
protected bat species; however, conducting a bat survey in the summer active season
would determine the presence of absence of federally protected bat species on site. The
window for conducting presence/absence surveys is June 1 - August 15.
Potential flora were identified to the taxonomic unit level necessary to determine if the
observed specimen was a protected species.
Because of the transitory nature of some of the listed threatened and endangered species
and the particular flower/fruiting periods of some plants; it is possible that endangered
species populations and locations may change over time. Therefore, any potential findings
at a later date should be fully investigated and coordinated with appropriate agencies to
prevent potential adverse impacts.

Dear Tyson Kurtz.
D. Reid Wilson, Secretary

Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
NCNHDE-24372
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:
httl2s://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 the NCNHP at natural.heritageLdncr.nc.gov.
