The Division is highly concened about possible impacts to a rare species of butterfly – an
undescribcd species of dusted sldpper (Aoronopsis n, sp.1) – resulting from development ofRadio
Island. We have previously discussed these concerns in reviews of the ELS for the Port Expansion
Project (Hall, 1119100: HaJIL 5/251611), which are attached.
This ourerly is lmoamm to o cur only along a mstiicted section of the North Carolina coast.
Populations art currently L-ncwII only from Radio jsland, Brandt Island, Bogue Banks, and Boar
island. Given ftie int-_nse development that has occurred over most of Bo¢ue Banks and the
impe.-Lding development of Radio Island, this species appears to be at great risk of extinction. The
US Fish and Wildlife ScrvZce, consequently, has identified it as a federal Species of Concern. Once
the species is formally named, it will then be eligible for federal listing as an Endangered or
Threatened Species.
In preparation forpossible listing, the Service contracted the NC Natural Heritage Program to initiate
a status survey for this butterfly. The results of field work conducted in July and August of this year
uphold previous data on its distnbittioa: the butterfly was found at two new sites on Bogue Banks
but not at sites to the north or south of its current range limits. Suitable habitat may, in fact, not exist
south of Pendcr County, but even large tracts of apparently suitable habitat at Cape Lookout in
Carteret County and at several sites in Onslow and Pender Counties were found to be unoccupied.
Only a limited cumber of sites -could be visited during the study period, however, and more field
work will be necessary to fader document these findings,

The proposed extension of sewer service to Radio Island is likely to have both direct, indirect, and
cumulative impacts on the butterfly and its habitat.
Direct impacts are likely to result from the laying in of the sewer line within the right -of way along
Mute Drive. The strip of grassy habitat that cuzrently exists along both side of this road supports
the grass, Schtzachyrium littorale, fed upon by the larvae of the butterfly and adults ofAtrytonopsu
n. sp. 1 have been frequently observed along this strip.
These direct impacts are likely to be relatively insignificant, as long as a much, greater area of habitat
still exists over the rest of Radio Island, They are also likely to be tmznpozary in nature, if the natural
vegetation is allowed to regrow along the disturbed right-of-way. An effort to replant Schizachyrium
Utrorale directly would greatly speed up the process.
Ofmuch greater concern are the likely indirect and cumulative impacts resulting frm the extension
of sewer service to Medio Island. It is our understanding tbat in addition to allowing the construction
of 80 new dwelling units at the Olde Towne Yacht Club, this sewer line will ultimately sez•ve all the
devclopmentpmj ects planned .for the island, including the port expamion and, potentially, the liquid
natural gas storage facility, if it is approved. As mentioned in our comments op the EIS for the port
expansion project, each of these proposed projects would drastically decrease the amount of habitat
available to the butterfly on the island — the port expansion project alone will result in the paving
of 68.7 acres of habitat currently supporting the butterfly. Cumulatively, these projects may
elimi ate the butterfly from Radio Island altogether. Given that Radio Island renresents one of me
larges blocks of occupied habitat anywhere within the ranee of this species, loss of this population
unit threatens the viability of the species overall..
Based on our understanding that extension of water and sewer to Radio Island is ultimately intended
to faaili to ail development on the island, we believe that the cuircnt project accounts for only a
Small portion of the ovcza.11 impacts that can be expected- Ordinarily, we request that evaluation of
a project's impacts mot be segmented Into smaller units, obscuring the overall significance of the
effects on the environment. We are also concctned about looking at only one phase of a project at
a time, since that can lead to construction designs in the initial phase that lock in a constricted set
of altemzdves for the later phases.
While our preference would be for an EA to be prepared, we understand that this project, in its
currently limited state, falls below the minimum criteria set by the Division of Water Quality needed
to raise the level of assessment to an EA Since we have alzleady had an opportunity to comment on
the port expansion project, we are willing to wait for another opportunity to comment on the
potential er=crs to the butterfly of the build -out of Radio Island. We note, however, that the Port
Authority has agreed to consult with, both the US Fish and Wildlife Service and the Natural Heritage

Program about the status (and presumably the protection needs) of the butterfly (Po
City — Radio Island Expansion, Record of Decision, p. 3). So far, no such consultation has taken
place. Until the issues regarding mitigation of the impacts of the Radio Island development projects
have been resolved, we will continue to look for opportunities to bring them up for discussion.
For that reason, we request to be included in the review of either an Special. Order of Consaut or an
NPDES pelt needed to supply the treatment capacity necessary for extension of sewer service to
the port facilities at Radio Island, to the liquid natural gas facility, or any other development on the
island.

The current document addresses some of the concerna raised in our review of the previous draft
(H4,11/9/00). The habitat descriPdWhas bew=odiftcd (p. 3-15) to include seaside little bluest=
(Schizachyriwn littorale), which we believe is actually one of the dominant grasses at Radio Island.
Mom importantly, the presence of a rare butteri7y. Attytvn0Ps1.s new species, hu been rer;ognized
(Table 3.11; p- 3-32) and the possibility of the project's impacts to this species has been identified
(p. 414). However, the current document only makes brief mention of this spxies, despite the fact
that it appears to have the highest level Of conservation wnceM of any species likely to be affected
by this prof ect. Nor is there any discussion of mitigation measures that might help offset the impacts
to this species.
This butterfly is designated as a Species of Concern by the US Fish and Widlife Service and
available evidence suggests that it may actually be critically imperilled, i.e., in threat of outright
extinction rather than, just local ext4pation. We therefore regard the failure to fully discuss the
significance of this species, the magnitude of Maly impacts (including direct, secondary, and
cumulative), and the feasibility of possible mitigative measures as major flaws in this document
We ask that these deficiencies be rectified before the EIS is approved.
Although much of the available information on this butterfly is summarized in an attachment to our
previous comments (see Appendix A), new information was obtained on a site visit to the project
site in April, 2001. This visit was done with permission of the Port Authority and was attended by
representatives of the Port Authority, US Fish and Wildlife Scryic-,and NC Division of Parks aztd
Recreation. The question as to whether the butterfly is present on project site was answered
definitively: over 50 individuals were observed on the fort Authority property, including both malts
and females. Furthermore, individuals were observed over vktually the entire extent ofthepropwty,
from the boundary with the Naval facility on the south to the fence line separating the property from

In comparing the habitat at Radio Island to Brandt Island and Fort Macon, which we visited on the
same day, Radio Island appeared to have the greatest amount, roughly 100 acres in extent
(determined using ArcView froze. orthophotoquads). The butterfly and its host plant se=od to be
confined to a much smaller area on Brandt Island, oe gpriivarily along a nazi w ,strip ofhabitat
on the cast side of the island; the entre arca occupied by the dredge spoil storage basin seemed
completely unsuitable. According to Randy Newman, Park Raagcr at Fort Macon State Park, the
two areas occupied by the butterfly on Brandt Island cover roughly 14 acres and 30 acres
respectively, Ranger Newman estimates that about 73 acrrs of habitat is present at Fort Macon,
located mainly behind the dunes bordesiug the beach.
Butterfly populations in all darer primary areas appeared to be vigorous, with possibly the greatest
density observed at Fort Macon. Although separated by water to varying degrees, all three
populations probably exchaage individuals and the presence of a m.etapopulation may be a critical
factor in the survival of this species in an essentially disturbance -prone and disturbance -maintained
environment (see summary in Appendix A).
While the Radio Island population currently appears to be a critical element in `dais metapopulation,
there is some possibility that additional population units occur on adjoining islands. This will be
izxvestigated this sinner by staff of the NC Natural Heritage Program wonting under a US Fish and
Wildlife Service contract. Other likely habitats in North Carolina will also be sampled and
specimens Coll=tcd dtuing this study will be used to help resolve some of the taxonounie questions
mentioned in our earlier s1,mma-y of the biology of this butterfly. The results of this survey, along
with on-going taxonomic work being done by John Burns at the US National Museum, will be
evaluated by the US Fish and wildlife Service in order to determine the urgency of Federal
protection measures.
In response to our earlier comments on this project, tine current draft states that the PoTt Authority
will `�z go consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to determine the effects
of the project on the species", but apparently only if the species 'becomes a listed species and is
determined to occur on the island" (p. 7-5). As noted above, the species is now known definitely
to occur within the project site, resolving one of these issues. However, the delay in taking
protective action until the species is foimaIly placed on the US Endangered Species List — if that
happens -- may have severe impacts on the butterfly, if one of its most importzat habitat arr. s is
scraped clean and paved in the meantime, Rather than wait for a lasting decision for protection
measures to be discussed, we strongly recommend that the Port Authority begin, consultation with
USFWS now. *Vile particularly urge that the mitigative measures we suggested in our earher'review
be given f X11 consideration.

SUBJECT: DEIS — Port of Morehead City, Radio Island Expansion
REFERENCE: 01E-0185
The site of the proposed port expansion contains one of only four kaCrTM colonies of a butterfly (genus
Atrytonopsts) that may be soon described as anew species or, at the very leas-, a new subspecies. Either
designation would make it eligible for federal listing as Threatened or Endangered, which appears tQ be
warranted on the basis of its extremely limited distribution and on the number of threats it faces (see
attachment).
Currently, the DEIS does not contain any information on this butterfly, which we concede is likely due
to the recency of the announcement that it represents a new taxon. We also acknowledge that the letter
from the Natal Hexit4gc Program (Giles, 10/28/97) did not mention this species, and that the butterrly
was added to our database only this last year.
Although this species doc,5 not yet have any legal protection, and studies are needed to clarity its
taxonomic status, distribution, and conservation concerns, we strongly recommend that the EIS be
revised m discuss the potential impacts to this species arising from the project. This discussion should
include cumulative and secondary impacts as well as the direct impacts of the proj ect This is important
since at Icast two otherprojects are planned for sites oa Radio Island gnat appear to have habitat suitable
for this butterfly.
Since actions taken now may drastically affect the chances of this species' survival, we strongly urge
the applicant to work with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to develop a conscr%atioA plan for this
butterfly before any listing decisions ale made. Successful implementation of a conservation, plan may,
in fact, head off the need to list the species and thereby reduce the amount of future regulatory burden
for projects in this viciniy. .'
As camponent s of this plan, we would like to see at least some habitat areas at both the south and north
ends of Radio Island be protected from development, Habitat management on Brandt Island, which is
also owned by the ports Authority, should also be considered in this pian,

Description of the Species
In July, 2000, John Bungs (US National IvMusei=) presented a paper at the annual meeting of the
Lepidopterists' Society describing the differences betweenthis butterfly (Atrytonopsisnew species)
and the dusted skipper (Atrytonopsis hianna), populations of which occur over much of eastern
North America, The new species was fbirad to differ from the dusted skipper in both adult and
immature morphological features; inits restriction to barrier island habitats, whichthe dusted skipper
is not known to occupy anywhere within its range; and in its larval host plant, seaside little bluestem
(3chizachyrium littorale), which the dusted skipper is not known to usc.
According to Dr. Burns, this new butterfly appears to be restricted to the central North Carolina
coast, and is currently known only froxm Fort Macon Statc Paris, Brandt Island, and Radio Island at
the north end of Bogue Banks, and from Bear Island (Hammock's Beach State Park) located
immediately south of Bogue B enks, Efforts to find the species on Shackelford Banks and Brown's
Island, to the north and south of the currently known range respectively, have so far had negative
.results. A full status survey to deterniitie the range more exactly has been proposed to the US Fish
and Wildlife Service by the Natural Heritage Program.
Dr. Burns intends to publish his findings within the next year (J. Borns, pets. comm.), which will
include giving the species a formal name aAd giving features..
a full description of its distinguishing
We hope that this paper will also resolve some remaining questions concerning the relationship of
the Radio Island butterfly to the southern dusted skipper (4riyConopsis loammz) and the -relationship
between the southern dusted skipper and the dusted slipper. An altcanate hypothesis concerning fide
taxonomic position of the Radio Island butterfly is that it is more closely related to the southern
dusted slipper, and is possibly a subspecies of it. Even in that case, however, it would still be
eligible for federal listing, particularly since the southern dusted skipper itself is now Isnown from
less than. 10 populations, one in North Qarolina (in addition to the Bogtu Banks form) and the rest
in Florida. The Natural Heritage Proms has also proposed conducting a survey to determine
whether this species merits federal listing,
Importance of Radio Inland to the Swnival of the At"nopsis n. op.
Radio Island supports one of three populations of the butte-fy located at the east end of Bogue
Bank (an isolated coloxty also occurs on Bear Island). A site visit to Radio Island was made on Oct.
17; 2400. Participants included Layton Bedsole (NC State Ports Authority), David Rabon (US Fish
and Wildlife Setvic4 Stephen Hall WC Div, Parks and Recreation), and Dr. J. B. Sullivan. (a

Of the three areas of habitat at the east end of $ogue Banks, Radio Island appears to support the

Potential Impacts to the Butterfly
Under 211 three ofthe proposed alternatives, approAXnatcly seventy acres o f habitat will be converted
to buildings orpavem.ent (see Table 2•l), If the size of the butterfly Population is proportional to
the amount of available habitat, the Radio Island population unit may be reduced to as much as one
half to one third of what it is now.
Furthermore, at least two other projects have been proposed that will use up nearly all the remaining
habitat
1 • A, large hotol/marizta complex is planned for the private lands along the eastern side of the
island. While the developrnent itself is located outside prime habitat for the butterfly, the
developers have requested use of some of the ports Authonty land as a spray irrigation field.

expanse of seaside little bluestem.

Partly on lands owned by the Ports Authority and which now support a large expanse of the
host plant for the butterfly.
Taken together, the cumnlativc loss ofhabitat on Radio U -Ind =Noting from all three projects may
