Dear Jeffrey Wyatt.
D_ Reid Wilson, Secretary

Deputy director, Natural Heritage Program
NCNHDE-25341
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates
that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary, or within a one -mile radius of
the project boundary.
Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within or
near 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.
Please also 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 Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published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 also not be redistributed without
permission.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact the NCNHP at natural.heritageLdncr.nc.gov.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program
