Hamilton N C N H D E-5844 Brandon Phillips STV Incorporated - Charlotte Office 900 West Trade Street Charlotte, NC 28202 RE: 17BP.9.R.81 Dear Brandon Phillips: April 19, 2018 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, 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 and is included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one-mile radius of the project area, 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 Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications.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 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 (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) 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.butler�a ncdcr.gov or 919.707.8603. Sincerely, NC Natural Heritage Program b1�.ILING P.d7FiESS: Tele: hone: [y19;� 7D7-8907 L�G�.TICN 1��1 f,Aail Ser,ricA Center �n�rrsti�.ncnhv.ary 121 'ab'est iiones S-r�at Ralsigh, hJC 2?G9�-16�1 Ralsigh, M1JC 2?BG3 Natural Heritage Element Occurrences, Natural Areas, and Managed Areas Intersecting the Project Area 17BP.9. R.81 April 19, 2018 NCNHDE-5844 No Element Occurrences are Documented within the Project Area There are no documented element occurrences (of inedium 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.
