Fikes, Director <br /> Orange County Housing and <br /> Community Development Department <br /> P.O. Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Ms. pikes: <br /> Subject: C-1 Rencher Street Improvements, <br /> Orange County Environmental Review Record <br /> we have no record of endangered plant and animal species in the <br /> proposed project area. This site was probably not included in <br /> the natural area inventory for Orange County. This project area <br /> is unlikely habitat for rare and endangered species due to the <br /> close proximity of the urban infrastructure. <br /> Future project plans should take into account the potential <br /> occurrence of significant plants and animals near the city <br /> boundaries. For example, a population of Atlantic pigtoe <br /> (Fusconaia masoni) - a state listed threatened species of <br /> mollusc, was found in the Eno River near the southern section of <br /> Hillborough. Such consideration is important for development <br /> projects that may result in loss of habitat through negative <br /> impacts such as soil erosion, water quality degradation, etc. <br /> I hope this information proves helpful. Please contact us if you <br /> • have further questions. <br /> - <br /> Sincerely, <br /> cip <br /> Jo Anne Tippett <br /> Natural Heritage Program <br /> JAT/des <br /> N/2 <br /> PO Eno 27687,Raleigh,North Carolina 27611-7687 Telephone 919.733.4181 <br /> An Equal Opponuniry Affirmative Action Employer <br />
