The Town of Mooresville plans to develop an asphalt and boardwalk greenway along Dye Creek from Bellingham Park to Johnson Dairy Road at Mooresville's Rocky River Waste Water
Treatment Plant in Mooresville, NC. The project includes five stream crossings, an access driveway and parking area on Town owned property at Johnson Dairy Road, the removal of a
non-functioning corrugated metal pipe from a tributary to Dye Creek, and the use of riprap to stabilize the bed and banks of two tributaries to Dye Creek. Neighborhood trail access
points are proposed to connect to Bluffton Road and River Birch Circle. Stream and wetland crossings will require some temporary jurisdictional impacts along portions of the proposed
greenway during construction, however, permanent impacts will be minimized by the use of pedestrian bridges over streams, the use of boardwalks within wetlands and the hand
clearing (non -mechanized) of wooded wetlands to facilitate boardwalk construction. Heavy equipment such as bulldozers, backhoes, and paving equipment will be used.

3j. Comments:
Temporary impacts are associated with the construction of boardwalks through two wetland areas and the bridging of streams in six places with two
pump -around operations and sediment and erosion control. Permanent impacts to streams are associated with the removal of a non-functioning
corrugated metal pipe (See Sheet 1-5) from a tributary to Dye Creek (Stream F) and the riprap stabilization of two tributaries to Dye Creek.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Alignment of the Dye Creek Greenway was chosen to avoid jurisdictional impacts to maximum extent practicable. Bridging of streams to be done to
avoid culverts/piping. Asphalt paving has been avoided in wetlands areas in favor of using boardwalks.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The hand clearing of trees and the use of mud mats when constructing the boardwalk within the wetlands to ensure only temporary impacts.
Temporary pump -around operations will be used Men bridging Dye Creek and bridging of the streams to avoid permanent impacts to surface waters.
Riprap will be keyed into portions of the two intermittent stream bottoms.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
r Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The proposed project has minimal permanent impacts to jurisdictional intermittent streams and only temporary impacts to wetlands.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
r Yes r No
If no, explain why:
The project is located in the Yadkin -Pee Dee basin that does not have riparian buffer protection.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
r Yes r No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
r Yes f No
Comments:
Sediment and erosion control measures will be put in place prior to construction to provide stormwater runoff protection. Throughout the area of work, both sides of the proposed
greenway have been bounded by silt fence. High -hazard, double row silt fence is proposed adjacent to any delineated streams or wetlands. When crossing delineated wetlands, mud
mats will be placed down the centerline of the trail. This will allow the contractor temporary access to install the timber piles for the boardwalk crossings. The construction area outside of
the mud mats will additionally be bounded by snow fencing to delineate and minimize the area of impact. Once the timber piles are installed, the contractor will then install the remaining
portions of the boardwalk from one side of the crossing, working continuously across using the top of the piles and minimizing the impact to the wetlands. In areas where a temporary
stream crossing is required, temporary ford crossings have been proposed. At each of the ford crossings, a sandbag dike and temporary pump around system shall be installed while
the ford crossing is in use. These proposed measures should ensure minimal impact to the delineated streams and wetlands throughout the project construction.

Bog turtle
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: April 1 — October 1 (visual surveys); April 1- June 15
(optimal for breeding/nesting); May 1 -June 30 (trapping surveys)
Habitat Description: Bog turtle habitat consists of open, groundwater supplied (spring fed),
graminoid dominated wetlands along riparian corridors or on seepage slopes. These
habitats are designated as mountain bogs by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program,
but they are technically poor, moderate, or rich fens that may be associated with wet
pastures and old drainage ditches that have saturated muddy substrates with open canopies.
These habitats, found between 700 and 4,500 feet above mean sea level in the western
Piedmont and mountain counties of North Carolina, often support sphagnum moss and may
contain carnivorous plants. Soil types (poorly drained silt loams) from which bog turtle
habitats have been found include Arkaqua, Chewacla, Dellwood, Codorus complex,
Hatboro, Nikwasi, Potomac — Iotla complex, Reddies, Rosman, Tate — Cullowhee complex,
Toxaway, Tuckasegee — Cullasaja complex, Tusquitee, Watauga, and Wehadkee.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for bog turtle is not present in the project area. There are records of bog
turtle being located in Iredell County and within the Mooresville USGS quadrangle. No
individuals of bog turtle were observed and the April and May field surveys were
conducted during the breeding/nesting season. A review of NCNHP records on January 3,
Supplemental Information — Dye Creek Greenway

2019 indicates no known occurrences within one mile of the project areas and no effect to
bog turtle is anticipated.
Dwarf -flowered heartleaf
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: March -May
Habitat Description: Dwarf -flowered heartleaf is endemic to the western Piedmont and foothills
of North and South Carolina. This herbaceous evergreen is found in moist to rather dry
forests along bluffs; boggy areas next to streams and creek heads; and adjacent hillsides,
slopes, and ravines. Requiring acidic, sandy loam soils, the species is found in soil series
such as Pacolet, Madison, and Musella, among others. Occurrences are generally found on
a north facing slope. Undisturbed natural communities such as Piedmont/Coastal Plain
Heath Bluff, Dry-Mesic Oak Hickory Forest, and Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest hold the
most viable occurrences. However, less viable remnant occurrences are found in disturbed
habitats, including logged, grazed, mown, and residential/commercial developed lands;
areas converted to pasture, orchards, and tree plantations; roadside rights-of-way; and on
upland slopes surrounding manmade ponds or lakes.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for dwarf -flowered heartleaf is present in the project area within the
undeveloped forest. Plant by plant surveys were conducted by STV biologists throughout
areas of suitable habitat on April 28 and May 3, 2017. No individuals of dwarf -flowered
heartleaf were observed and the field surveys were conducted during the flowering season.
A review of NCNHP records on January 3, 2019 indicates no known occurrences within
one mile of the PSA and no effect to dwarf -flowered heartleaf is anticipated.
Northern long-eared bat
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: June 1 — August 15
Habitat Description: In North Carolina, the northern long-eared bat (NLEB) occurs in the
mountains, with scattered records in the Piedmont and coastal plain. In western North
Carolina, NLEB spend winter hibernating in caves and mines. During the summer, NLEB
roost singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dead
trees (typically >3 inches dbh). Males and non -reproductive females may also roost in
cooler places, like caves and mines. This bat also been found, rarely, roosting in structures
like barns and sheds, under eaves of buildings, behind window shutters, in bridges, and in
bat houses. Foraging occurs on forested hillsides and ridges, and occasionally over forest
clearings, over water, and along tree -lined corridors. Mature forests may be an important
habitat type for foraging.
Biological Conclusion: May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect
Potential habitat exists within the wooded areas of the project area. There are records of
NLEB being located in Iredell County, but not within the Mooresville USGS quadrangle.
STV environmental scientists reviewed the project area for NLEB on April 28 and May 3,
2017 and found no NLEB. The NCNHP website was reviewed on January 3, 2019 to
determine the locations of the nearest populations of NLEB. The NCNHP determined that
Supplemental Information — Dye Creek Greenway

no populations of NLEB were present within one mile of the project area. The USFWS
record of occurrence for the NLEB is greater than 40 miles from the PSA, so it is
anticipated that the project May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect NLEB. As per the
recommendation of the USFWS, a tree cutting moratorium between May 15 and August
15 will be implemented as feasible to further reduce the probability of "take" for this
species.

Dear Joshua Kotheimer:
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 indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
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 documented within the project area or 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:
https://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.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water
Management Trust Fund easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented
near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butlerLncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

No Element Occurrences are Documented within the Project Area
There are no documented element occurrences (of medium to very high accuracy) that intersect with the project area. Please note, however, that although the
NCNHP database does not show records for rare species within the project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present, it may simply mean that
the area has not been surveyed. 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. If rare species are found, the NCNHP would appreciate receiving this information so that we may update our
database.
