Authorization is requested to conduct a repair on sanitary sewer infrastructure and to stabilize a stream channel. The center coordinates of the project area are located at 35.1870523°,-80.7892577°. The following information is included as part of this application submittal: • Project Summary Sheet • Pre -Construction Notification Form • Agent Authorization Form • Project Site Figures ■ Figure 1 —Vicinity Map ■ Figure 2 — USGS 7.5' Topographic (Charlotte East) Map ■ Figure 3 — Meck, Co. SSURGO Soils and NWI Map (2023 Mecklenburg County Aerial) ■ Figure 4 — Existing Conditions Map (2023 Mecklenburg County Aerial) • Permit Drawings • Agency Correspondence PROJECT BACKGROUND The project area is situated west of Litchfield Road in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Existing land use in the vicinity of the project includes single-family residences, sanitary sewer easement, and forested riparian corridors. The project area consists of an unnamed tributary (UT) to McMullen Creek. The purpose of the project is to replace a terracotta sanitary sewer line that runs along the left bank of the UT. The existing sanitary sewer line is located in such a way that the stream channel poses a threat to the integrity of the existing infrastructure. Kiml+ey>>> Horn Page PROPOSED IMPACTS TO JURISDICTIONAL WATERS The overall project proposes to complete a repair on sanitary sewer infrastructure and to stabilize the impacted stream channel. The proposed project seeks authorization under NWP #13 for stream impacts associated with bank stabilization. Impacts to the stream are proposed at two (2) impact sites: • Impact 1: 430 linear feet (LF) of permanent impacts to Stream 1 results from the stabilization of the left (east) bank. Stabilization techniques will include the installation of rock toe protection along the bank, as well as restoring the grade to 2:1 or flatter and using coir matting with seed and straw. • Impact 3: 312 LF of permanent impacts to Stream 1 results from the stabilization to the left (east) bank. Stabilization techniques will include the installation of rock toe protection along the bank as well as restoring the grade to 2:1 or flatter and using coir matting with seed and straw. The proposed project seeks authorization under NWP #27 for stream impacts associated with stream restoration. Impacts to the stream are proposed at two (2) impact sites: Impact 2: 101 LF/0.01-ac of permanent impacts to Stream 1 results from the installation of five (5) constructed riffles. Impact 4: 127 LF/0.01-ac of permanent impacts to Stream 1 results from the installation of six (6) constructed riffles. To meet the goals and objectives of the project, authorization is requested under NWP #13 for 742 LF of permanent impacts to non -wetland waters of the US (WOTUS). Authorization is also requested under NWP #27 for 228 LF/0.02-ac of permanent impacts to non -wetland WOTUS. These stream impacts will result in net increases in aquatic resource functions and services. AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION Impacts have been avoided and minimized to the extent practicable and have been limited to what is necessary to accomplish the purpose and goals of the project. To prevent downstream sedimentation, construction will be conducted in the dry through the use of a pumped diversion. Temporary disturbances, including erosion and sediment control measures within the project area will be removed and the original grade restored upon completion of the project. Banks temporarily affected by maintenance work will be matted, re -seeded, and restored to stable bank conditions. COMPENSATORY MITIGATION Compensatory mitigation is not required under NWP #13 or #27. Please feel free to contact Taylor Kiker at (980) 296-0810 if you have any questions, or if additional information is necessary. Sincerely, KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

Background Information The project area is 0.78 acres and includes streams and a sanitary sewer easement and is located between single- family residences west of Litchfield Road in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Our client proposes stream rehabilitation in the project area which may require future authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE); therefore, our client contracted with KH to identify areas of potentially suitable habitat on the subject property to identify and document occurrences of federally listed threatened and/or endangered species. Methodology and Findings As of January 29, 2024, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists three (3) federally protected species for Mecklenburg County (Table 1). A brief description of each species' habitat requirements follows, along with the Biological Conclusion rendered based on survey results in the subject property.

The once common species is wide-ranging across the eastern and central United States and portions of southern Canada, Mexico, and Central America. During the winter, tricolored bats are found in caves and mines, although in the southern United States, where caves are sparse, tricolored bats are often found roosting in road -associated culverts. During the spring, summer, and fall, tricolored bats are found in forested habitats where they roost in trees, primarily among leaves. Tricolored bats exhibit high site fidelity with many individuals returning year after year to the same hibernaculum. Tricolored bats emerge early in the evening and forage at treetop level or above but may forage closer to the ground later in the evening. Biological Conclusion: Consultation Not Required On September 14, 2022, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced a proposal to list the TCB as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. USFWS has not provided an official effective listing date, but is expected to provide habitat descriptions and an area of influence/distribution range for TCB in the future. When this information is provided, the client will be able to make informed determinations on habitat that could be impacted by the project's proposed actions. Schweinitz's sunflower USFWS Optimal Survey Window: late August -October Habitat Description: Schweinitz's sunflower is endemic to the Piedmont of North and South Carolina. The few sites where this rhizomatous perennial herb occurs in relatively natural vegetation are found in Xeric Hardpan Forests. The species is also found along roadside rights -of -way, maintained power lines and other utility rights - of -way, edges of thickets and old pastures, clearings and edges of upland oak -pine -hickory woods and Piedmont longleaf pine forests, and other sunny or semi -sunny habitats where disturbances (e.g., mowing, clearing, grazing, blow downs, storms, frequent fire) help create open or partially open areas for sunlight. It is intolerant of full shade and excessive competition from other vegetation. Schweinitz's sunflower occurs in a variety of soil series, including Badin, Cecil, Cid, Enon, Gaston, Georgeville, Iredell, Mecklenburg, Misenheimer, Secrest, Tatum, Uwharrie, and Zion, among others. It is generally found growing on shallow sandy soils with high gravel content, shallow, poor, clayey hardpans; or shallow rocky soils, especially those derived from mafic rocks. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Potentially suitable habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower is not present in the project area. The project area is dominated by a stream, a sanitary sewer easement, and maintained residential lawns. A review of the NCNHP report, updated January 29, 2024, indicated no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project area. Due to a lack of recorded occurrences and the absence of potentially suitable habitat in the project area, the proposed project will have no effect on this species. Michaux's sumac USFWS optimal survey window: May -October Habitat Description: Michaux's sumac, endemic to the inner Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont, grows in sandy or rocky, open, upland woods on acidic or circumneutral, well -drained sands or sandy loam soils with low cation exchange capacities. The species is also found on sandy or submesic loamy swales and depressions in the fall line Sandhills region as well as in openings along the rim of Carolina bays; maintained railroad, roadside, power Kimley»>Horn Page 3 line, and utility rights -of -way; areas where forest canopies have been opened up by blowdowns and/or storm damage; small wildlife food plots; abandoned building sites; under sparse to moderately dense pine or pine/hardwood canopies; and in and along edges of other artificially maintained clearings undergoing natural succession. In the central Piedmont, it occurs on clayey soils derived from mafic rocks. The plant is shade intolerant and, therefore, grows best where disturbance (e.g., mowing, clearing, grazing, periodic fire) maintains its open habitat. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Potentially suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac is not present in the project area. The project area is dominated by a stream, a sanitary sewer easement, and maintained residential lawns. A review of the NCNHP report, updated January 29, 2024, indicates no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project area. Due to a lack of recorded occurrences and the absence of potentially suitable habitat in the project area, the proposed project will have no effect on this species. Smooth coneflower USFWS optimal survey window: late May -October Habitat Description: Smooth coneflower, a perennial herb, is typically found in meadows, open woodlands, the ecotonal regions between meadows and woodlands, cedar barrens, dry limestone bluffs, clear cuts, and roadside and utility rights -of -way. In North Carolina, the species normally grows in magnesium- and calcium - rich soils associated with gabbro and diabase parent material, and typically occurs in Iredell, Misenheimer, and Picture soil series. It grows best where there is abundant sunlight, little competition in the herbaceous layer, and periodic disturbances (e.g., regular fire regime, well-timed mowing, careful clearing) that prevents encroachment of shade -producing woody shrubs and trees on site where woody succession is held in check, it is characterized by a number of species with prairie affinities. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Potentially suitable habitat for Smooth coneflower is not present on the subject property. The project area is dominated by a stream, a sanitary sewer easement, and maintained residential lawns. A review of the NCNHP report, updated January 29, 2024, indicates no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project area. Due to a lack of recorded occurrences and the absence of potentially suitable habitat in the project area, the proposed project will have no effect on this species. Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle Protection Act USFWS optimal survey window: November through March Habitat Description: Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forest in proximity to large bodies of open water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically within 1.0 mile of open water. A desktop GIS assessment of the project study area, as well as the area within a 1.13-mile radius (1.0 mile plus 660 feet) of the project limits, was performed on January 29, 2024, using 2023 color aerials. No large bodies of open water were identified in the 1.13-mile radius. In addition, a review of the NCNHP database, updated on January 29, 2024, revealed no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area. Due to the lack of known occurrences, and the lack of observed individuals or nests, it has been determined that the proposed project will not affect this species.

The enclosed species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Please note that new species information can change your official species list. Under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. The Service recommends you visit the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation to ensure your species list is accurate or obtain an updated species list. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A biological assessment (BA) or biological evaluation (BE) should be completed for your project. A BA is required for major construction activities (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) considered to be Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)) (NEPA). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a BE be prepared to determine effects of the action and whether those effects may affect listed species and/or designated critical habitat. Effects of the action are all consequences to listed species or critical habitat that are caused by the proposed action, including the consequences of other Project code: 2024-0041730 01/29/2024 activities that are caused by the proposed action. A consequence is caused by the proposed action if it is reasonably certain to occur and would not occur "but for" the proposed action.. Recommended contents of a BABE are described at 50 CFR 402.12. More information and resources about project review and preparing a BABE can be found at the following web link: https://www.fws. gov/office/asheville-ecological-services/asheville-field-office-online-review- process-overview. If a Federal agency determines listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. The Service is not required to concur with "no effect" determinations from Federal action agencies. If consultation is required, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species, proposed critical habitat, and at -risk species be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or licensed applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at the following web link: https://www.fws.gov/media/endangered-species-consultation- handbook. Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Act, there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project - related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). More information about MBTA and BGEPA can be found at the following web link: https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-birds. We appreciate your consideration of Federally listed species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species in their project planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please contact our staff at 828-258-3939, if you have any questions. In any future correspondence concerning this project, please reference the Consultation Code which can be found in the header of this letter.

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.
