These <br /> results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' tables and map. <br /> The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been <br /> documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that <br /> these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is <br /> included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one-mile radius of the <br /> project area, if any, are also included in this report. <br /> Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project <br /> review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. <br /> Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the <br /> NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP <br /> data may not be redistributed without permission. <br /> Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a <br /> Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area(RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund <br /> (CWMTF)easement, or an occurrence of a Federally-listed species is documented near the project area. <br /> If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please <br /> contact Misty Buchanan at misty.buchanan©ncdcr.gov or 919.707.8107. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> NC Natural Heritage Program <br /> ,1a_ rr1°12 r.,i mien'a J it 1141'W 41 arrr 9,wir'n1#'c:r,rr4Rr_.(1114'.'^. <br /> �0000;1�� <br />
