Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural <br />heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have <br />been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. <br />In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may <br />update our records. <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Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the 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 />The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature <br />Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) easement, <br />or Federally - listed species are documented near the project area. <br />If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please <br />contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butler ncdcr.gov or 919.707.8603. <br />Sincerely, <br />NC Natural Heritage Program <br />MAILING ADDRESS: Telephone: (919) 7D7 -8107 LOCATION: <br />1651 Mail Service Center wvnv.ncnhp.org 121 West Jones Street <br />Raleigh, NC 27699 -1651 Raleigh, NC 27603 <br />
