RE: Buck Steam Station and CTCC Sites; DEMLR-SW-NCS000578-554
Dear Bethany Georgoulias:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources from our database that have been compiled for the project referenced
above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary submitted
with your request for information. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences'
table and map.
Also attached is a table summarizing rare species and natural communities that have been documented
within a one -mile radius of the project boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural
heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is included for
reference. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that
we may update our records. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile
radius, if any, are also included in this report.
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 Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written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 NC Natural Heritage Program data may not be redistributed without permission from the NCNHP.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence
if a Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), or an occurrence of a Federally -
listed species is documented within or near the project area.
Thank you for your inquiry. If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need
additional assistance, please contact John Finnegan at '[e-mail] or 919.707.8630.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program
