Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
FV I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United -
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS
FMap of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the
review area.
✓❑ Size of Property or Review Area 77.8 acres.
❑ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre -
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:

(Log No. 24-356)
Timothy:
As of January 1, 1 am sending some consultation correspondence via email text only. If you need
correspondence on letterhead for a project, please let me know and I can oblige.
Project received: January 9, 2024
Authorities: National Environmental Policy Act and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended
Project Description: According to the information provided, the Olga Epple Revocable Trust (project
proponent) is proposing to construct a multi -family residential development and associated
infrastructure on approximately 77.8 acres off Mallory Tai Drive in Lincolnton, Lincoln County, North
Carolina.
Federally Listed) Species: An assessment of suitable habitat and potential impacts to two species was
conducted by environmental specialists with ECS Southeast, LLC on December 19, 2023. The findings
were compiled and included in the review request submitted to our office on January 9, 2024. The
following species with federal designations and their associated habitats were evaluated:
Species
Status'
Dwarf -flowered heartleaf
Hexastylis naniflora
T
Michaux's sumac
Rhus michuaxii
E
'E = endangered and T = threatened.
The review request states that suitable habitats for dwarf -flowered heartleaf are present on site;
however, no plants in the Hexastylisgenus expected to occur in Cleveland Countywere observed during
surveys. Because species in the Hexastylisgenus are evergreen, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's
(Service) Asheville Ecological Services Field Office (AFO) will accept genus -level surveys for Hexastylis
spp. outside of the optimal survey window for dwarf -flowered heartleaf. Based on negative results of
visual surveys for the Hexastylisgenus conducted on December 19, 2023, we would concur with a "may
affect, not likely to adversely affect" determination from the lead federal action agency for this species.
We appreciate the project proponent's consideration of Michaux's sumac when evaluating the action
area for impacts to federally listed species and their habitats. Michaux's sumac is historically known
from Lincoln County and the AFO has determined that section 7 consultation is not needed for this
species at this location.

Suitable habitat for tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) may be present at the site. On September 14,
2022, the Service published a proposal in the Federal Register to list the tricolored bat as endangered
under the Act. Species proposed for listing are not afforded protection under the Act; however, as soon
as a listing becomes effective (typically 30 days after publication of the final rule in the Federal Register),
the prohibitions against jeopardizing its continued existence and "take" will apply. Therefore, if you
suspect your future or existing project may affect tricolored bats after the potential new listing goes into
effect, we recommend analyzing possible effects of the project on tricolored bats and their habitat to
determine whether consultation under section 7 of the Act is necessary. Conferencing procedures can
be followed prior to listing to ensure the project does notjeopardize the existence of a species. Projects
with an existing section 7 biological opinion may require re -initiation of consultation to provide
uninterrupted authorization for covered activities. Please contact our office for additional guidance or
assistance.
We believe the requirements under section 7 of the Act are fulfilled for the federally listed species
discussed above. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if: (1) new
information reveals impacts of the identified action may affect listed species or critical habitat in a
manner not previously considered, (2) the identified action is subsequently modified in a manner that
was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may
be affected by the identified action.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. In any future correspondence
concerning this project, please reference our Log Number 4-2-24-356.

ECS Project Number: 49-21926
Dear Ms. Reid:
ECS Southeast, LLP (ECS) is pleased to submit this Request for Technical Assistance for the proposed Lincolnton
Meadows Site.
Background Information
The Project Study Area (PSA) is located on Mallory Tai Drive in Lincolnton, Lincoln County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The
PSA is approximately 77.8 acres and identified as Lincoln County Parcel Identification Numbers (PIN) 3634630590,
3634527487, and 3634521640. The PSA consists of undeveloped woodlands and agricultural fields. The proposed project
is for a residential development consisting of approximately 175 residences. The development would include roadways and
a stormwater management area.
Desktop Assessment
ECS utilized the USFWS Information Planning and Consultation (IPaC) tool to identify federally listed threatened and/or
endangered species with potential to occur within the PSA or general project vicinity. ECS also utilized the North Carolina
Natural Heritage Program (NC NHP) protected species database for current and historic occurrence records of federally
listed threatened and endangered species documented within a one -mile radius of the PSA.
The USFWS IPaC tool identified three species, including tricolored bat, dwarf -flowered heartleaf, and Michaux's sumac as
having potential to occur onsite, which are listed in Table 1 of this report. The NC NHP database identified no records of
current or historic occurrences or designated critical habitats of federally threatened or endangered species onsite. The
NHP database identified two species, dwarf -flowered heartleaf and Michaux's sumac, within a 1-mile radius of the PSA.
The IPaC and NC NHP database reports are provided (See Attached).
Additional species- and site -specific details are reflected in Table 1 of this report and summarized in the narratives,

Onsite Habitat Assessment
On December 19, 2023, qualified ECS personnel familiar with habitat for dwarf -flowered heartleaf and Michaux's sumac
conducted an onsite habitat assessment.
ECS characterized habitat within the PSA as undeveloped woodlands, agricultural fields, and maintained easements.
Species composition within the undeveloped woodlands included winged elm (Ulmus alata), sweetgum (Liquidambar
styraciflua), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), river birch (Betula nigra), red maple (Acer rubrum), eastern red cedar
(Juniperus virginiana), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), red mulberry (Morus rubra),
white oak (Quercus alba), water oak (Quercus nigra), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia),
greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and English ivy (Hedera helix).
Species composition within the maintained portions of the PSA included eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis), sweetgum,
tulip poplar, mimosa (Albizia julibissin), Chinese privet, white oak, Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis), broomsedge
(Andropogon virginicus), beggarstick (Bidens frondosa), and ragweed (Ambrosia trifida).
Species Determination Requests
Tricolored bat:
The site is primarily forested and contained deciduous hardwood trees with cavities. The forested areas may provide suitable
tricolored bat habitat. Based on site conditions observed during the habitat assessment, ECS is requesting a "Not Likely
to Jeopardize the Continued Existence of the Proposed Species" determination from the USFWS for tricolored bat.
Michaux's sumac
The PSA contains maintained natural gas line easement, maintained overhead transmission line easement, and maintained
roadside edges; which the USFWS characterizes as potentially suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac. Although surveyed
outside of the optimal survey window, no standing stems resembling Michaux's sumac were observed within the areas of
potentially suitable habitat.
Additionally, the proposed development will be located outside of the areas of potentially suitable habitat. Work will not be
conducted within the natural gas line easement or the overhead transmission line easement. Minimal impacts to the
maintained roadside edge will be needed for the extension of Mallory Tai Drive to access the site; however, no standing
stems resembling Michaux's sumac were observed in this area. A Supplemental Boring Map with the proposed site
development plans is attached. Based on the results of the onsite habitat assessment, ECS is requesting a "May Affect,
Not Likely to Adversely Affect" determination from the USFWS for Michaux's sumac.
Dwarf -flowered Heartleaf
The PSA contains mesic mixed hardwood forest throughout the majority of the site, as well as northern facing slopes and
Madison soils, which the USFWS characterizes as potentially suitable habitat for dwarf -flowered heartleaf. Although
surveyed outside of the optimal survey window, a genus level survey for Hexastylis species was conducted throughout the
PSA in areas of potentially suitable habitat, and no Hexastylis species were observed. Based on the results of the onsite
habitat assessment, ECS is requesting a "May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect" determination from the USFWS
for dwarf -flowered heartleaf.

Project Code: 2024-0025383
Project Name: Lincolnton Meadows Site
December 11, 2023
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. 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

12/11/2023
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.

Dear Kara Webb:
➢. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
IR ►�7011.1K WZy000M
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

Mallory Tai Drive, Lincolnton, Lincoln County, North Carolina
ECS Project Number: 49-21926
Dear Ms. Gledhill -Earley,
ECS Southeast, LLP (ECS) is pleased to submit this letter request for North Carolina Historic Preservation Office (HPO)
review of the subject property pursuant to National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 and North Carolina General Statute
121-12(a).
PROJECT INFORMATION
The Project Study Area (PSA) is located along Mallory Tai Drive in Lincolnton, Lincoln County, North Carolina. The PSA is
approximately 77.8 acres and identified as Lincoln County Parcel Identification Numbers (PIN) 3634630590, 3634527487,
and 3634521640. The PSA consists of undeveloped woodlands and agricultural fields. The proposed project is for a
residential development consisting of approximately 175 residences. The development would include roadways and a
stormwater management area.
The NC SHPO database identifies one resource, LN0432 I Aaron Keever House, within the PSA. This resource was
identified in the southern portion of the PSA adjacent to Wilma Sigmon Road. One additional resource, identified as Hoffman
Family House, was identified within 1,500 feet of the PSA. This resource was identified approximately 950 feet east of the
PSA. Based on the NC HPO database, both structures were surveyed in the 1980s and not listed on the National Register
of Historic Places. During a field visit on December 29, 2023, ECS assessed the area where the Aaron Keever House is
mapped but the structure is gone and only cinder block remnants were observed.
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Timothy O'Halloran
at [e-mail].
Respectfully submitted,
ECS Southeast, LLP
