(S&ME) on behalf of WRS, Inc. is pleased to submit a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) for impacts at the above-referenced site. On June 9, 2009 a Jurisdictional Determination meeting between yourself and Ronald Walker with S&ME was held on-site at which time the jurisdictional features were identified and verified. During the meeting the wetland boundaries were adjusted. The new wetland boundaries have been surveyed and a new Jurisdictional Waters map, including your recommended changes, is included with this PCN. The attached PCN and figures contain the needed information for issuance of a Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 39. Impacts associated with the site development include 147 linear feet (If) of Relatively Permanent Waters with year-round/seasonal flow and 0.07 acre of wetlands. The impacts are below the 0.10 acre of wetland and 1501f of stream mitigation thresholds. The low impacts are a result of the engineering revisions of the site design. The project has been designed to meet conditions of North Carolina Water Quality Certification No. 3705, and as such will not require written approval from the Division of Water Quality (DWQ). However, S&ME is forwarding DWQ a courtesy copy of this permit with a Stormwater Management Plan. Scoping letters were sent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Natural Resources Planning and Conservation to inquire about records relating to rare, endangered or threatened species, significant natural heritage areas or high quality natural communities in the vicinity of the subject property. In addition a scoping letter was sent to the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources State Historic Preservation Office to inquire if any historic resources would be affected by this project. Response letters from all three agencies are attached. No rare, endangered or threatened species, significant natural heritage areas or high quality natural communities in the vicinity of the subject property or any historic resources were identified that would be affected by this project.

Walker Mr. Mark Augspurger S&ME, Inc. One Marcus Drive Greenville, SC 29615 Dear Mr. Walker and Mr. Augspurger: Subject: Proposed Commercial Development, Sugar Hill Road at Mill Road, Marion, McDowell County, North Carolina We received your letter of May 19, 2009, requesting our comments on the subject project. The following comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act; Migratory Bird Treaty Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 703); and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act). According to our records and a review of the information you provided, no federally listed species or their habitats occur on the subject site. Therefore, we believe the requirements under section 7 of the Act are fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of these identified actions that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) these actions are subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified actions. Thank you for allowing us to comment on this project. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Allen Ratzlaff of our staff at 828/258-3939, Ext. 229. In any future correspondence concerning this project, please reference our Log Number 4-2-09-330. M ¦ A k4?

Spinner S&ME, Inc. 44 Buck Shoals Road, Unit C-3 Arden, NC 28704 Subject: 56.48-Acre Sugar Hill and Mill Road Property; Marion, McDowell County S&ME Project No. 1411-09-004 Dear Mr. Spinner: Dee Freeman Secretary The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, significant natural heritage areas, or conservation/managed areas at the site nor within a mile of the project area. Although our maps do not show records of such natural heritage elements in 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, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas. You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at www.ncnhp.org for a listing of rare plants and animals and significant natural communities in the county and on the quad map. Our Program also has a new website that allows users to obtain information on element occurrences and significant natural heritage areas within two miles of a given location: <http://nhpweb.enr.state.nc.us/nhis/public/gmap75_main.phtml>. The user name is "public" and the password is "heritage". You may want to click "Help" for more information. NC OneMap now provides digital Natural Heritage data online for free. This service provides site specific information on GIS layers with Natural Heritage Program rare species occurrences and Significant Natural Heritage Areas. The NC OneMap website provides Element Occurrence (EO) ID numbers (instead of species name), and the data user is then encouraged to contact the Natural Heritage Program for detailed information. This service allows the user to quickly and efficiently get site specific NHP data without visiting the NHP workroom or waiting for the Information Request to be answered by NHP staff. For more information about data formats and access, visit <www.nconemap.com>, then click on "FTP Data Download", and then "nheo.zip" [to the right of "Natural Heritage Element Occurrences"] You may also e-mail NC OneMap at <dataq@ncmail.net> for more information. 1601 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601 Phone: 919-715-41951 FAX: 919-715-3060 Internet: www.oneNCNaturally.org An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer North Carolina ?aturrzlC?
