The NCNHP database does not show any records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project area based on the maps and Geographic Information System (GIS) data submitted with your request for information. Within one mile of the proposed project area, the NCNHP database shows element occurrence records for the following rare species: ELEMENT OCCURRENCE STATE FEDERAL SCIENTIFIC NAME COMMON NAME STATUS* ACCURACY STATUS* STATUS* Delphinium exaltatum Tall Larkspur Historical Very Low E FSC * For status definitions, please see the Definitions document at http://www.ncnhp.or�/web/nhp/database-search. The occurrence record for Tall Larkspur has low accuracy due to the lack of site-specific locational information associated with this record, but this species has been documented from the Charlotte area. In addition, the NCNHP database shows several properties considered to be Mecklenburg County open space within one mile of the project area, the closest of which are Hidden Valley Neighborhood Park (ca. 0.3 miles west of the project), and the Eastway and Briarwood Community Parks ca. 0.4 miles and 0.5 miles south of the project area, respectively. Please note that although the NCNHP database may not show records for rare species within the proposed project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present; it may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. Occurrences of rare species documented within one mile of the proposed project area increase the likelihood that these species may be present within the project area if suitable habitat exists. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if needed, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species. 1601 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601 Phone: 919-707-86001 Internet: www.ncdenr.gov An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycled 1 10% Post Consumer Paper Orr Road Extension Project Orr Road and North Tryon Street, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina CWS Project No. 2014-3280:2 December 2, 2014 Page 2 Feel free to contact me at 919-707-8629 or Allison.Weaklev@ncdenr.�ov if you have questions or need additional information.
