4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of
this application: *
The project area where stream and wetland impacts will occur includes three adjacent properties: a 0.23-acre site
owned by the City of Brevard that is maintained as mowed grass and contains the existing sewer system pumphouse
(8585-67-9183), a 28.81-acre site owned by Transylvania County that is maintained as a mowed field (8585-76-0653),
and a 1.011 acre site owned by Tores Properties, LLC that is maintained as a mowed field (8585-67-8032) and has the
existing sewer line, which parallels Gallimore Road. A stream is located on the border between the City of Brevard and
Tores Properties sites; trees and shrubs are present along the top of the stream bank, though the buffer is narrow and
vegetation is more prevalent on the county property. Other surrounding land uses are residential (private homes and
apartment complexes) in all directions, a city park and medical facility to the south, and extensive mowed fields to the
east, which may be used for agricultural purposes but this could not be determined during the site visits.

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
To upgrade a wastewater pump delivery system and install a new section of sewer line
Page 7 of 21 PCN Form Version 4.3- December 4, 2023

4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: *
The purpose of this City of Brevard project is to construct a new wastewater pump delivery system and install a new
section of sewer line (see Figure 5). The new pump system will be constructed near the existing pumphouse on an
adjacent property with a gravel access road; the existing structure will be abandoned. The sewer line will be
approximately 585 If and consist of a mix of gravity and forced main lines; the existing sewer line adjacent to Gallimore
Road will also be abandoned.
The limit of disturbance will be approximately 0.75 acres. It will include the length of sewer line in a 40-foot wide
corridor; this area will be protected in a utility easement by the city. An additional 50-foot temporary construction
corridor will be used at the new pump station location, which is the city park bordering the project area to the south
(0.18 acres, 8585-66-7960); this area is upland habitat.
Approximately 70 linear feet (0.067 acres) of the sewer line will be installed through a wetland (temporary impact). Soil
material will be removed only for the time needed to install the sewer line, after which the trench will be backfilled with
the removed material, sloped to the original contour, and revegetated with wetland seed mix.
There will also be a four -foot wide stream crossing that covers an area of 0.004 acres. These impacts will be
temporary. The stream crossing will be installed under the stream bed via open cut using a pump around system and
"in -the -dry". After installation, stream banks and disturbed vegetation will be restored using natural restoration design
techniques (see Figure 5).
Typical construction equipment will be used on site including bulldozers, excavators, and dump trucks.
4j. Attach project drawings/site diagrams/depictions of impact areas for the proposed project.
4k. Will this activity involve dredging in wetlands or waters? *
❑ Yes ❑x No
If yes, describe the type of dredging, the composition of the dredged material, and the locations of disposal area.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through project design:
Due to site constraints, the small size of the parcel, and the location of the stream and wetland areas within the
planned construction area, impacts to the stream and wetland areas are unavoidable. The project design avoids
permanent impacts to 0.129 acres of wetland (66% of wetland area on site) and 176 linear feet of stream (80% of
stream length on site) within the project area. The temporary wetland and stream impacts are the minimum necessary
for the sewer line installation.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures will be implemented to avoid unintended impacts to waters on and
adjacent to the site. All equipment will be operated from high ground where possible. A pump -around system will be
used to install the sewer line crossing in the dry under the stream bed via open cut (temporary impact). After
installation, stream banks and disturbed vegetation will be restored using natural restoration design techniques (see
Figure 5.0).
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S., Waters of the State, or Riparian Buffers
2a. If compensatory mitigation is required, by whom is it required? * ❑ DWR ❑ Corps

SUBJECT: (Updated) Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination for File No. SAW-
2023-02082-Brevard Pump Stations
Dear Mr. Luebbe:
This letter is in response to your request to the Wilmington District, Asheville
Field Office for an updated preliminary jurisdictional determination (PJD). The project
review area is located at a physical address of 0 Gallimore Road in Brevard,
Transylvania County, North Carolina. The Transylvania County Assessor's Office lists
this property as PIN# 8585-67-8032.
Size (acres): 1.37 acres
Nearest Waterway: French Broad River
River Basin: Upper French Broad (HUC8: 06010105)
USGS HUC12: 060101050203
Coordinates: 35.22317,-82.72810
This project has been assigned the file number SAW-2023-02082 (Brevard Pump
Stations). This file number should be referenced in all correspondence concerning this
project.
Based on our review of the updated site information you furnished on February
12, 2024, a site inspection conducted on November 15, 2023, and other information
available to our office, we have preliminarily determined the above -referenced area may
contain waters of the United States under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps)
regulatory jurisdiction. These waters are identified in the enclosed site maps and the
Corps PJD ENG-FORM 6249. This determination was made in accordance with the
Corps regulatory authority pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and based
upon criteria contained in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and
the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont regional supplement.
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires a Department of the Army (DA)
permit be obtained prior to the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the

-2-
United States, including wetlands. Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899
requires a DA permit be obtained for any work in, on, over or under navigable waters of
the United States.
For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements,
and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made based on a
preliminary jurisdictional determination will treat all waters including 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 request an approved jurisdictional determination, which is an
appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instructions. Please sign
and return the attached PJD form within 30 days of receipt. If a signed PJD form is not
received within 30 days of the date of this letter, the Corps will presume concurrence.
This determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean
Water Act jurisdiction for the review area identified in this request. The determination
may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security Act of
1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in
USDA programs, you should request a certified wetland determination from the local
office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.
You are cautioned that work performed in areas which may be waters of the
United States, as indicated in the preliminary JD, without a Department of the Army
permit could subject you to enforcement action.
If you have any questions concerning this correspondence, please contact
Brooke Davis, Regulatory Project Manager of the Asheville Field Office at (828)271-
7980 ext. 4232, by mail at the above address, or by email at

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The following report includes methods used and results for a threatened and endangered
species survey and habitat assessment on the proposed 3.72-acre project known as
Brevard Pump Stations. The project area occupies two tracts in Transylvania County, NC
(Figures 1 and 2); the northern tract known as the Fish Camp site is located south of
Deavor Rd (+/- 2.35-acres, Figure 3a) in Pisgah Forest and the southern tract known as the
Gallimore Road site is located east of Gallimore Rd (+/-1.37-acres, Figure 3b) in Brevard.
The Fish Camp site is in an urbanized area and has extensive impervious surfaces
surrounded by commercial and residential properties. The Gallimore Road site is
primarily surrounded by residential and agricultural (farm fields) land uses with some
commercial properties. The sites are at approximately the same elevation, ranging from
2,114 feet above sea level to 2,120 feet.
The survey was conducted to determine the occurrence of or potential for existence of
federally listed threatened and/or endangered animal and plant species, in addition to the
bald eagle, on the project site. The survey was directed by and complies with 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 survey and habitat assessment was conducted on October 4 and
December 15, 2023, by ClearWater Environmental Consultants, an EnviroScience
Company (ClearWater). An official species list was obtained through the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (FWS) Information and Planning and Consultation (IPaC) on January 29,
2024. The list provides data concerning the presence or potential occurrence of threatened
or endangered species in the project boundaries. The FWS lists ten federally protected
species, in addition to the bald eagle and bog turtle (threatened due to similar appearance),
as occurring or potentially occurring in the project boundaries (Table 1, Appendix A).

Project #18081 Brevard Pump Stations

A database search from the NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) was also performed on
January 29, 2024, which provided data concerning the presence or potential occurrences of
federal and state listed species within or near the project sites. The NHP database
indicates two element occurrences within a one -mile radius of the project boundaries
(Appendix A), the bog turtle at both sites and the Appalachian elktoe at the Fish Camp site.
The elktoe was reported April 7, 2022 in the French Broad River, which is less than half a
mile downstream from the project area.
During pedestrian field surveys conducted by ClearWater biologists, site habitats were
identified and compared with recognized habitats for the IPaC species potentially occurring
on or near the sites. 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 site visits on October 4 and December 15, 2023, ClearWater biologists identified the
following habitats: stream, riparian buffer, wetland, maintained lawn, and mowed field
(Figures 4a and 4b). Descriptions of each habitat type are found below with representative
photographs included in Appendix B.
3.1 Stream
The Fish Camp site has one stream within the project boundary, Turkey Creek
(Class B, Tr), which is a tributary to the Davidson River. Turkey Creek is shallow
and averages eight feet wide with primarily large cobble, gravel, and sandy
substrates. The Gallimore Road site has one unnamed tributary (Class B) to the
French Broad River that is shallow and averages four feet wide with small cobble
and sandy substrate.
3.2 Riparian Buffer
The riparian buffer at the Fish Camp site is primarily mowed grass with few trees
and shrubs. The buffer at the Gallimore Road site is a narrow strip of shrubs and
small trees adjacent to mowed grass on the north side of the stream and mowed
field to the south.
Canopy vegetation was similar between sites, though it was denser at the
Gallimore Road site. Species include red maple (Acer rubrum), black cherry
(Prunus serotina), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), velvet willow (Salix
sessilifolia), black walnut (Julgans nigra), and water oak (Quercus nigra).
Shrub species observed include eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis), tulip poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple, sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), tag alder
(Alnus serrulata), and Bradford pear (Pyrus calleryana).
Herbaceous species observed include jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), hog -
peanut (Amphicarpaea bracteata), purple aster (Symphyotrichum), bugleweed
(Ajuga reptans), American burnweed (Erechtites hieraciifolius), golden ragwort
(Packers aurea), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), curly doc (Rumex crispus),
blackberry (Rubus sp.), narrowleaf plantain (Plantago lanceolata), smartweed
(Persicaria sp.), sallow sedge (Carex lurida), and tearthumb (Persicaria sagittata).
Clearwater Environmental Consultants, an EnviroScience Company Page 3
Project #18081 Brevard Pump Stations

3.3 Wetland
The wetland habitat was only observed at the Gallimore Road site on the eastern
boundary. The wetland appears to have developed from standing water in the
field and a high-water table. The vegetation was cut short from landscaping and
only herbaceous species were observed, including woolgrass (Scirpus
cyperinus), soft rush (Juncus effusus), multiflora rose (Rosa multif/ora), ironweed
(Vernonia glauca), golden ragwort, and tearthumb.
3.4 Maintained Lawn / Mowed Field
The maintained lawn habitat was found at the Fish Camp site and the mowed
field at the Gallimore Road site. Species observed in these habitats were similar
between sites due to their location and routine mowing.
Trees observed within the maintained lawn habitat include white pine (Pinus
strobus) and red maple. Herbaceous species observed at both sites include
goldenrod, white clover (Trifolium repens), tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum),
Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), narrowleaf plantain, black eyed Susan
(Rudbeckia fulgida), Indian hemp (Apocynum cannabinum), and dandelion.
3.5 Soils
Soils mapped by the Natural Resources Conservation Service Transylvania
County Soil Survey are listed in Table 2 and shown in Figures 5a and 5b (NRCS
2023).

4.0 PROTECTED SPECIES
The following section provides brief descriptions of each listed species included in the
survey, its recognized habitat, and comments regarding survey results.
4.1 Appalachian Elktoe
Federally listed as endangered, the Appalachian
elktoe (Alismidonta raveniliana) has a thin but not
fragile, kidney -shape shell, reaching up to about
3.2 inches in length, 1.4 inches in height, and 1.0
inch wide (Clarke 1981). Juveniles generally
have a yellowish -brown periostracum (outer shell
surface) while the periostracum of the adults is
usually dark brown to greenish -black in color.
Clearwater Environmental Consultants, an EnviroScience Company Page 4
Project #18081 Brevard Pump Stations

Although rays are prominent on some shells, particularly in the posterior portion
of the shell, many individuals have only obscure greenish rays. The shell nacre
(inside shell surface) is shiny, often white to bluish -white, changing to a salmon,
pinkish, or brownish color in the central and beak cavity portions of the shell;
some specimens may be marked with irregular brownish blotches (adapted from
Clarke 1981).
Only two populations of the species are known to survive. The healthiest of these
populations exists in the main stem of the Little Tennessee River between Emory
Lake at Franklin, Macon County, NC, and Fontana Reservoir in Swain County,
NC. The second population occurs in the Nolichucky River system of NC and TN.
The elktoe has been reported from relatively shallow, medium-sized creeks and
rivers with cool, well -oxygenated, moderate- to fast -flowing water. It has been
observed in gravelly substrates often mixed with cobble and boulders, in cracks
in bedrock, and occasionally in relatively silt -free, coarse, sandy substrates
(Department of the Interior 1994).
Based on stream conditions noted and observed during the site evaluations, it is
ClearWater's opinion that no Appalachian elktoe are likely to occur at either
project site, and that the proposed projects would not likely interfere with, nor
influence potential downstream populations with implementation of the
appropriate erosion and sediment control measures.
4.2 Bald Eagle
Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) were removed from the endangered
species list in August 2007 because their populations recovered sufficiently.
Bald and Golden eagles are still protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Act (Eagle Act).
Distinguished by a white head and white tail feathers, bald eagles are powerful,
brown birds that may weigh 14 pounds and have a wingspan of 8 feet. Male
eagles are smaller, weighing as much as ten pounds and have a wingspan of 6
feet. Sometimes confused with golden eagles, bald eagles are mostly dark brown
until they are four to five years old and acquire their characteristic coloring.
Bald eagles live near rivers, lakes, and marshes where they can find fish, their
staple food. Bald eagles will also feed on waterfowl, turtles, rabbits, snakes, and
other small animals and carrion. Bald eagles require a good food base, perching
areas, and nesting sites. Their habitat includes estuaries, large lakes, reservoirs,
rivers, and some seacoasts. In winter, the birds congregate near open water in
tall trees for spotting prey and night roosts for sheltering.
Based on a desktop review using 2023 aerial imagery, the French Broad River is
within approximately 0.5 miles from the Gallimore Road site and is a potentially
suitable feeding location for bald eagles. Bald eagles typically nest within one
mile of suitable feeding sources. However, potentially suitable habitat for bald
eagles was not found at either site and no bald eagle nests were observed during
the site visit. Therefore, it is the opinion of ClearWater that the proposed project
is not likely to affect bald eagles.

4.3 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 ,t
length is 3.1 to 4.5 inches (7.9 to 11.4 cm). 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 .,.+r
usually prominent in juvenile and young adult
specimens, but the carapace may be nearly
smooth in old adults. The head, 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 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 effect on land management activities of private
landowners in southern states where the bog turtle lives.
Potentially suitable habitat for the bog turtle was not found at either site. The
wetlands lack deep organic soils and 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 this species.
4.4 Gray Bat
The gray bat (Myotis grisescens) is the largest member of its genus in the eastern
United States. Its forearm measures 40 to 46 mm, and it weighs from 7 to 16
grams. It is easily distinguished from 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.
Clearwater Environmental Consultants, an EnviroScience Company Page 6
Project #18081 Brevard Pump Stations

Gray bats predominately 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 were observed
within the project areas. Therefore, it is the opinion of ClearWater that this project
not likely to affect this species.
4.5 Longsolid
The Longsolid (Fusconaia subrotunda) is a
medium-sized, thick -shelled mussel. The shell is
oval or elliptical, becoming more elongate with
age and moderately inflated, though there is
variability in the inflation depending on population
and location. The beaks are low and directed
forward. The shell is smooth, and the
periostracum is light brown, becoming darker
brown or black in adults. Fine broken green rays
are present on the umbo. The pseudocardinal teeth
developed, and the lateral teeth are large and straight. Th
compressed, and deep. The nacre is white, iridescent posteriorly.
e
are large and well
beak cavity is wide,
The Longsolid occurs in small to large rivers in substrates ranging from sand and
gravel to coarse gravel and cobble. The species has been associated with
slower, deeper microhabitats, suggesting it has a greater tolerance for pool and
run habitats. The Longsolid was historically known from 162 populations in the
Great Lakes, Ohio River, Cumberland River, and Tennessee River basins in
Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. However, many
populations have since been extirpated, and the Longsolid is currently only
known from 60 populations in Alabama, Kentucky, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The species is
considered extirpated from Georgia, Illinois, and Indiana; and the entire Great
Lakes basin.
Based on stream conditions noted and observed during the site evaluations, it is
ClearWater's opinion that longsolid is not likely to occur at either project site, and
that the proposed projects would likely not interfere with, nor influence potential
downstream populations with implementation of the appropriate erosion and
sediment control measures.
4.6 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
Clearwater Environmental Consultants, an EnviroScience Company Page 7
Project #18081 Brevard Pump Stations

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.
Potentially suitable habitat for mountain sweet pitcher plant (mountain bog) was
not observed at either project site. No specimens were found during the survey,
which was conducted during the USFWS designated optimal survey window for
the mountain sweet pitcher plant (April -October). Therefore, it is the opinion of
Clearwater that the proposed project would have no effect on this species.
4.7 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 with a wingspan of 9 to 10 inches. As its name
suggests, this bat is distinguished by its long ears, which differ from other Myotis
bats that are 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 spanning west from the Atlantic coast to the southern
Northwest Territories and eastern British Columbia. NLEBs spend winter
hibernating typically in large caves or mines with large passages and entrances,
constant temperatures, and high humidity with no air currents. Summer habitat
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 at either
property site. However, forested areas at both sites are considered potentially
suitable summer habitat, though this may be limited due to the surrounding land
uses, particularly at the Fish Camp site.
Due to the presence of suitable summer habitat, the USFWS will likely limit tree
clearing on site during the bat's active season (March 31 to October 14 or
November 14 depending on proximity to known hibernacula). 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. During permit application review,
the Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the USFWS will determine if any tree cutting
moratoriums applies to portions or all of the site.
It is the opinion of ClearWater that tree clearing conducted between October 15
or November 15, depending on proximity to known hibernacula, and March 31
should support a may affect, not likely to adversely affect determination for this
species; however, consultation with FWS may be required due to the project's
location.

4.8 Rock Gnome Lichen
Federally listed as an endangered species, rock gnome lichen (Gymnoderma
lineare) occurs on rocks in areas where clouds or fog provide regular moisture
and high humidity either at high elevations above 5,000 feet (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 (0.04
inch) straps that appear blue -grey on the upper surface and generally shiny -white
on the lower surface. Gymnoderma lineare grade to black near the base, unlike
the similar species Squamu/ose c/adonias, which are never blackened toward the
base. Fruiting bodies of G. lineare are black and borne at the tips of the straps,
unlike C/adonia spp. that have brown or red fruiting bodies. Flowering occurs
July through September.
Suitable habitat for this species (boulders or rock outcrops) was not observed at
either project site. Therefore, it is the opinion of ClearWater that the proposed
project would have no effect on the rock gnome lichen.
4.9 Small Whorled Pogonia
Small -whorled pogonia (Isotria medeo/oides) is federally listed as an endangered
species. It occurs on upland sites in mixed -deciduous or mixed-
deciduous/coniferous forests that are generally in second or third growth
successional stages. Characteristics common to most sites include sparse to
moderate ground cover in the species' microhabitat, a relatively open understory
canopy, and proximity to features that create long persisting breaks in the forest
canopy. Soils at most sites are highly acidic and nutrient poor, with moderately
high soil moisture values. Light availability could be a limiting factor for this
species. The stem is smooth, hollow pale green and 3.7 to 9.8 inches tall with a
single whorl of 5 to 6 light green elliptical leaves 3 inches long and 1.6 inches
wide. A flower is borne at the top of the stem. It is distinguished from the similar
Isotria verticillata by the Tatter's purplish stem and long, dark sepals.
Potentially suitable habitat for the small whorled pogonia (forest) was not
observed at either project site. Therefore, it is the opinion of Clearwater that the
proposed project would have no effect on this species.
4.10 Swamp Pink
Swamp pink (He/onias bullata) is a perennial herb in the lily family. It has a basal
rosette of evergreen, strap -like leaves, and an upright pink to lavender flower
head. The tall flower stalks (up to 4.5 feet) appear from March to May. During the
winter the leaves often turn reddish brown and lie flat or slightly raised above the
ground. These winter leaves are often hidden by leaf litter, but a visible button in
the center of the leaves represents the next season's flower head. Although the
plant can reproduce by seed, most of its reproduction is by vegetative expansion
of established plants. This means plants tend to grow in clumps, close to the
parent plants. Seed dispersal is limited, and populations appear to expand at a
very slow rate.
Clearwater Environmental Consultants, an EnviroScience Company Page 9
Project #18081 Brevard Pump Stations

Swamp pink is found in a variety of wetland habitats, including mountain bogs,
swampy forested wetlands bordering small streams, wet meadows, and spring
seepage areas. Swamp pink can be found across much of New Jersey and
Delaware and sporadically in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
and Georgia.
Potentially suitable habitat for swamp pink does not occur at either project site.
Further, wetland areas in the project areas contain high densities of invasive
species in the shrub and herbaceous layers. Therefore, it is the opinion of
Clearwater that the proposed project would have no effect on swamp pink.
4.11 Tricolored Bat
Tricolored bat (Perimyotis subf/avus) 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. In the southeastern U.S., W
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, which ended
November 14, 2022, to determine the final listing status of this species, though
no determination has been made to date. If this species becomes listed as
threatened or endangered, federal management guidelines will be set in place to
minimize adverse impacts.
No naturally occurring suitable wintering habitat for the tricolored bat exists within
the property boundaries. However, potentially suitable summer habitat was
observed at both sites in the form of forested areas with snags and mature trees
with loose bark, though this may be limited due to the surrounding land uses,
particularly at the Fish Camp site. Until USFWS management guidelines are
published, it is anticipated that a tree clearing moratorium would be put into place
from approximately April 1 through October 31 if the proposed endangered listing
becomes effective.
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 any tree clearing
ClearWater Environmental Consultants, an EnviroScience Company Page 10
Project #18081 Brevard Pump Stations

moratorium, if applicable. During permit application review, the Corps of
Engineers and the USFWS will determine if any tree cutting moratoriums are
required.
ClearWater recommends avoiding tree clearing in the active season, between
April 1 and October 31, to minimize potential impacts to this species. If seasonal
tree clearing is conducted in winter months, outside of the active season, it would
be the opinion of ClearWater that this project may affect but is not likely to
adversely affect the tricolored bat. Any updates to the proposed listing of this bat
species should be obtained if those updates occur prior to commencement of this
project as they could affect tree clearing activities.
4.12 Virginia Spiraea
Virginia spiraea (Spiraea virginiana) is federally listed as an endangered species.
It occurs along rivers and streams and relies on periodic disturbances, such as
high -velocity scouring floods, which eliminate competition from trees and other
woody vegetation. Virginia Spiraea is a perennial shrub with many branches. It
grows 3 to 10 feet (0.9 to 3.0 meters) tall. The alternate leaves are single -tooth
serrated, 1 to 6 inches (2.5 to 15.2 centimeters; cm) long and 1 to 2 inches (2.5
to 5 cm) wide; occasionally curved; and have a narrow, moderately tapered base.
The leaves are also darker green above than below.
The plant produces flowers that are yellowish green to pale white, with stamens
twice the length of the sepal. It blooms from May through early July, but flower
production is sparse and does not begin until after the first year of establishment.
Potentially suitable habitat for Virginia spiraea was not observed at either project
site. The Fish Camp site is maintained as mowed lawn and the Gallimore Road
site has a riparian buffer of mostly mowed field with a strip of trees and shrubs on
the streambank, which is not susceptible to high -velocity scouring floods.
Therefore, it is the opinion of Clearwater that this project would have no effect on
this species.
5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
During completion of the threatened and endangered species survey and habitat
assessment at the Fish Camp and Gallimore Road project sites, no specimens were
observed but potentially suitable summer habitat for the NLEB and tricolored bat was
present. The bat habitat may be limited due to the surrounding land uses, particularly at
the Fish Camp site with high noise and night light levels.
For NLEB, ClearWater recommends limiting tree clearing activities from October 15 or
November 15, depending on proximity to known hibernacula, to March 31 to avoid adverse
impacts. Consultation may be required with FWS for potential impacts to NLEB due to the
project's location.
For the tricolored bat, ClearWater recommends limiting tree clearing activities from
November 1 to March 31 to avoid adverse impacts. Any updates to the proposed listing
of this bat species should be obtained if those updates occur prior to commencement of
this project as they could affect tree clearing activities.
Clearwater Environmental Consultants, an EnviroScience Company Page 11
Project #18081 Brevard Pump Stations

During Corps 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 all, portions, or none of the project site. Depending on the final project design,
no suitable bat habitat trees may need to be cut.
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 to August 15.
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 protected 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.

To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed, and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may oc r within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) %er,,s,'ct* 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.e q.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundancE and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally Wesignated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that 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. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through IPaC by comple g the same process used to receive the enclosed 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 is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major 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)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological

Project code: 2024-0000009
01/29/2024
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
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. In addition, 4e Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7
consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered
Species Consultation Handbook" at: https://www.fws.gov/siteskefault/files/documents/
endan ered-species-consultation-handbook.pdf
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), 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 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S. ec. 668(a)). For more
information regarding these Acts, see Migratory Bird Permit What o I U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service (fws.gov).
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may b unintentionally
killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to
comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within
applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan
(when there is no federal nexus). Propone should iipplement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and
their resources to the project -related stressors. For more informtion on avian stressors and
recommended conservation measures, see httf)s:kwww.fws.gov/librar/collections/threats-birds.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Or 186. Responsibilities of Federal Agencies
to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agen $ es that engage in or authorize activities
that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures
that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws. ov/partner/council-conservation-
migratory-birds.
We appreciate'Yowt concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of
this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit
to our office.

Dear clement Riddle:
D. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
NCNHDE-24754
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 the NCNHP at natural.heritage�dncr.nc.gov.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program
