271 took place in the dormant season, well after first frost, the habitats capable of supporting this species contained a "weedy" associate floristic composition not typically associated with the presence of Michaux's sumac. Additionally, no bare/naked Michaux's sumac stems were identified in this effort. It is the surveyor's opinion that Michaux's sumac is not present within the PSA. If for some reason surveys are requested during the appropriate survey window, Three Oaks can complete those at that time and update the survey results. A review of the Fall 2022 NCNHP dataset indicates no known Michaux's sumac EO's within the PSA, or within 1.0 mile of the PSA. 4.2 NCNHP State-Listed Species The NCNHP tracks state listed species that are not currently protected by the USFWS under the Federal ESA but are tracked by the State due to their rarity in North Carolina. These species are compiled in the NCNHP 2020 Rare Animal and Plant Lists. The NCNHP Rare Plant List includes North Carolina legal status information from the North Carolina Plant Conservation Program (NCPCP), a unit of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the agency responsible for the listing and protection of North Carolina's endangered and threatened plants, under provisions of the North Carolina Plant Protection and Conservation Act (North Carolina General Statutes - Chapter 106, Article 1913).
