4e. Riparian wetland mitigation requested: acres
4f. Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested: acres
4g. Coastal (tidal) wetland mitigation requested: acres
4h. Comments:
5. Complete if Using a Permittee Responsible Mitigation Plan
5a. If using a permittee responsible mitigation plan, provide a description of the proposed mitigation plan.
Due to the location of the on site streams and wetlands, opportunities to completely avoid these areas were limited. Impacts to site surface waters
associated with the proposed development were limited through site selection location, design, location/orientation of the proposed lots and access
routes and the design/location of stormwater facilities.
Construction techniques will implement approved erosion control methods to avoid/minimize impacts to onsite/adjacent offsite receiving conveyances.
All impacts proposed here are temporary in nature for the open-cut installation of a sewerline to serve the residential development.

Essex Homes – Sage Croft - Threatened / Endangered / Protected Species Evaluation
222
GENERAL LANDSCAPE DESCRIPTION:
The Sage Croft project is 23+/- acres located just west of Old Monroe Road, and
just north of Wesley Chapel Road in Union County, North Carolina. It can be
found on the Matthews USGS Topographic Quadrangle Map; latitude is 35.0531
N, longitude is 80.6583 W. The site is primarily an actively cultivated agricultural
field, most recently cropped with soybeans, and an overhead power line right of
way following a drainage corridor It has fencerows on the northern and western
perimeters, and a dirt and gravel access road bisecting it. The topography is
essentially flat with the elevation ranging from 640 to 650 ft. (Figure 1).

METHODOLOGY:
The US Fish and Wildlife Service website
http://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cntylist/union.html was referenced to
determine the occurrence of Threatened, Endangered and Protected species for
Union County North Carolina, the results of which are listed below (Table 1).
Maps and aerial photographs were assembled and the site was investigated
December 19, 2016 and November 12, 2018.

Two plant species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in
Union County:
Schweinitz’s Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), listed as Federally
Endangered, is typically found in open habitats which historically have
been maintained by wildfires and grazing bison and elk herds. Now most
occurrences are limited to roadsides, woodland and field edges, and utility
rights-of-way (ROW).
Michaux’s Sumac (Rhus michauxii), listed as Federally Endangered,
requires habitat of sandy forests and woodland edges. This species
requires periodic fire as a part of its ecology.
Two animal species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in
Union County:
Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), protected by the Bald and
Golden Eagle Protection Act, typically inhabits forested areas near large
bodies of open water such as lakes, marshes, seacoasts and rivers,
where there are suitable fish populations and tall trees for nesting and
roosting.
Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata), listed as Federally
Endangered, is restricted to cool, clean, well-oxygenated water. Stable,
silt- free stream beds are required for this species. Typically stable areas
occur where the stream banks are well-vegetated with trees and shrubs.
RESULTS:
The site is primarily an actively cultivated agricultural field, most recently cropped
with soybeans, and an overhead power line right of way following a drainage
corridor. It has fencerows on the northern and western perimeters, and a dirt and
gravel access road bisecting it. At the time of the site investigation the soybeans
had been harvested and the field was barren except for sparsely scattered,
typical cool season weeds including Chickweed (Stellaria sp.), and Henbit
(Lamium sp.).
The fencerows are dominated by Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), Winged Elm
(Ulmus alata), Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinense), Virginia Pine (P. virginiana ),
and Short-leaf Pine (Pinus echnata).
The gravel roadside and ditch, and transitional fringe along the edges of the field
and fencerows are dominated by Fescue turf grass (Festuca sp.), and common
weedy and transitional species including Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense),
Essex Homes – Sage Croft - Threatened / Endangered / Protected Species Evaluation
5555
Sericea Lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), Sourgrass (Rumex acetosella),
Ragwort (Packera sp.), Ragweed (Ambrosia sp.), Indian Hemp (Apocynum
cannabinum), Goldenrod (Solidago sp.), Beggars Ticks (Desmodium sp.), and
Dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium).
The power line/ drainage corridor is heavily overgrown with scrub/shrub thickets
dominated by Blackberry (Rubus spp.) and Chinese Privet.
Threatened & Endangered/Protected Species Results
All potential habitats for Schweinitz’s Sunflower and Michaux’s Sumac
along the roadside corridor, fields and fence edges were closely examined
and neither of these species was present.
There is no bald eagle habitat on site, and no eagles or eagle’s nests were
observed.
There is no suitable habitat on site for Carolina Heelsplitter. No mussels
were observed during the survey nor would any be expected on-site.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I recommend further consultation with the project planners and engineers
regarding coordination with USFWS and other federal and state agencies as
needed.
Respectfully submitted,

Curriculum Vitae for:
Lisa R. Gaffney
Biologist / Botanist
B.S. Biology, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Ms. Gaffney is a classically trained botanist and natural resource biologist, and
has conducted field work and investigative studies covering thousands of
cumulative acres in both North and South Carolina since 1996, including:
Cabarrus County NC Natural Heritage Inventory 1997-1998. Organized,
directed, and worked in field survey of natural areas in Cabarrus County
for the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program.
Lincoln County NC Natural Heritage Inventory 2000-2001. Organized,
directed, and worked in field survey of natural areas in Lincoln County for
the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program.
Threatened and Endangered Species Surveys and Natural Communities
Evaluation for over 45,000 acres in North and South Carolina, 1996 -
present.
Located and identified at least six previously unreported populations of
Federally Endangered Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii).
Located and identified four previously unreported populations of
Threatened Dwarf Heartleaf (Hexastylis naniflora).
Located a previously unknown population of Federally Endangered
Schweinitz's Sunflower at Redlair Farm in Gaston County, NC. This
discovery led (in part) to the purchase of the site by the State of North
Carolina Plant Conservation Program, now called Redlair Preserve. This
population has become a Recovery Site for the species.
Participated in numerous Piedmont Prairie restoration projects in
Mecklenburg, Union, Cabarrus and Gaston Counties, North Carolina.
