RE: Phase I Cross Charlotte Trail; 2014-3497
Dear Kaitlin McCulloch:
NCNHDE-1165
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, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there
are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed
areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of
natural heritage elements within 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 site -specific 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.
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. The location of the natural areas and conservation/managed areas can be
viewed online on the Natural Heritage Data Explorer found at: https://ncnhde.natureserve.org/.
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 Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written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.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature
Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), or Federally -listed species are documented near the
project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact John Finnegan at john.finnegan e_ncdenr.gov or 919.707.8630.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program
