Review Comment Response
Brunswick County, NC
NT Project No. 19016
Dear Mr. Parr,
Our January 17, 2024, response to the review comment letter dated December 20, 2023, did not
address the last comment:
10. Due to the potential presence of threatened and endangered species on the site, please provide
either proof of consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service or conduct an online IPaC evaluation to
acquire an effect determination. The IPaC site, listed below would direct the applicant in the appropriate
actions. Species that may be in the project area include the federally endangered northern long-eared
bat, proposed endangered tricolored bat, and listing candidate monarch butterfly. The Client's
environmental consultant will provide the required documentation.
We have now received the Threatened and Endangered Species Report from the Client's
consultant and have enclosed two copies as requested. Please advise if anything additional is
required. Thank you.
Sincerely,
NORRIS & TUNSTALL
