The client has retained our firm to determine whether protected species are located within the subject site. The subject site is in Leland, in Brunswick County,with the parcel ID 0690000301, off Green Hill Road. Our focus is on an approximately 59.9-acre project area, shown below in Figure 1, in red. 2.0 Site Location The subject site is shown below. The project area boundary is in red. t, d Figure 1: Site Plan of subject site 3.0 Site Description The 59.9-acre upland subject site is comprised of xeric sand ridge habitat comprised of semi-mature long- leaf pines(Pinus palustris),with an understory of turkey oak(Quercus laevis), live oak(Quercus virginiana), and farkleberry(Vaccinium arboreum). The wetland areas located outside the project area are comprised of scrub-shrub wetlands. 4.0 Protected Species According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Endangered Species website and data taken from their IPaC Trust Resources Report (see Appendix A), 13 protected species, 1 proposed endangered, and 1 candidate species are known to occur in Brunswick County.From review of the habitat requirements of the listed plants and animals for Brunswick County, it was determined that there is the potential for occurrence of 6 of the listed species within the subject site. The listed species include: the Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), the tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus), the red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis); the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), Cooley's meadowrue (Thalictrum cooleyi); and the rough-leaved loosestrife(Lysimachia asperulaefolia). 2 5.0 Investigative Methods Our firm's experienced biologists conducted extensive on-site field investigations for protected species within all parts of the project area. 6.0 Baseline Information on the Listed Species 6.1 Northern long-eared bat According to the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service,the northern long-eared bat is a medium-sized bat about 3 to 3.7 inches in length but with a wingspan of 9 to 10 inches. They hibernate in caves and mines. They may be found swarming in surrounding wooded areas in autumn. During the summer and portions of the fall and spring, northern long-eared bats may be found roosting singly or in colonies underneath bark,in cavities or in crevices of both live trees and snags,or dead trees.Males and non-reproductive females may also roost in cooler places,like caves and mines.Northern long- eared bats seem to be flexible in selecting roosts,choosing roost trees based on suitability to retain bark or provide cavities or crevices. The species has also been found, although less commonly, roosting in structures,such as barns and sheds.Northern long-eared bats use forested areas not only for roosting,but also for foraging and commuting between summer and winter habitat. 6.2 Tricolored bat According to the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service,the tricolored bat is a small insectivorous bat that is distinguished by its unique tricolored fur and often appears yellowish to nearly orange. The once common species is wide ranging across the eastern and central United States and portions of southern Canada,Mexico and Central America. During the winter,tricolored bats are often found in caves and abandoned mines, although in the southern United States, where caves are sparse, tricolored bats are often found roosting in road-associated culverts where they exhibit shorter torpor bouts and forage during warm nights.During the spring,summer,and fall,tricolored bats are found in forested habitats where they roost in trees, primarily among leaves of live or recently dead deciduous hardwood trees, but may also be found in Spanish moss, pine trees, and occasionally human structures. 6.3 Red-cockaded woodpecker For nesting/roosting,this species needs open stands of pine containing trees 60 years old and older. These birds need older, live pines, in which they excavate their cavities. Longleaf pines are most used, but other species of southern pine, such as pond pine (Pinus serotina) are also acceptable. Dense stands(stands that are primarily hardwoods, or that have a dense hardwood understory)are avoided.Generally,foraging habitat is found in pine and pine-hardwood stands,with trees 30 years old and older, with foraging preferences for pine trees six inches or larger in DBH. In good, moderately stocked pine habitat, sufficient foraging substrate can be found on 80 to 125 acres. 6.4 Monarch butterfly The monarch butterfly is a predominantly open country, frost intolerant species whose range of breeding habitats depends on the presence of milkweeds. While overwintering, monarchs require dense tree cover for protection. 6.5 Cooley's meadowrue According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Cooley's meadowrue occurs in moist to wet bogs and savannas. It grows along fire plow lines,roadside ditches,woodland clearings,and power line rights-of-way, and needs some type of disturbance to maintain its open habitat. Plants often found growing with the meadowrue include tulip poplar growing with cypress and/or Atlantic white cedar (Leonard 1987). 3 6.6 Rough-leaved loosestrife This species generally occurs in the ecotones or edges between long leaf pine uplands and pond pine pocosins (areas of dense shrub and vine growth usually on a wet, peaty,poorly drained soil) (Barry 1980),on moist to seasonally saturated sands and on shallow organic soils overlaying sand. Rough-leaved loosestrife has also been found on deep peat in the low shrub community of large Carolina bays(shallow,elliptical,poorly drained depressions of unknown origin)(Matthews et al., 1980). The grass-shrub ecotone,where rough-leaved loosestrife is found,is fire-maintained, as are the adjacent plant communities (long leaf pine - scrub oak, savanna, flatwoods, and pocosin). Suppression of naturally occurring fire in these ecotones results in shrubs increasing in density and height and expanding to eliminate the open edges required by this plant. 7.0 Findings 7.1 Northern long-eared bat The Northern long-eared bat roosts in trees or buildings in the warmer months, rarely in caves. However, in winter, it uses caves and other heavily sheltered spots almost exclusively. In the Coastal Plain,it roosts inside hollow trees or other openings inside tree trunks. There are extensive large pines and no sweetgum (the preferred roost tree type, according the USFWS data) located within the subject site.No northern long-eared bats were observed during our site inspection. It is our opinion that mining activity is not likely to adversely impact the Northern long-eared bat. 7.2 Tricolored bat The tricolored bat roosts in trees or buildings in the warmer months, rarely in caves. During the spring, summer, and fall, tricolored bats are found in forested habitats where they roost in trees, primarily among leaves of live or recently dead deciduous hardwood trees,but may also be found in Spanish moss, pine trees, and occasionally human structures. There is no appropriate habitat located within the subject site.No tricolored bats were observed during our site inspection. It is our opinion that mining activity is not likely to adversely impact the tricolored bat. 7.3 Red-cockaded woodpecker According to the N.C. Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Element Occurrence database, the closest occurrence is 0.46 miles southwest of the subject tract. There were 5 active cavity trees noted in 2006 on a site across Green Hill Road. The subject site is sparsely vegetated and open but lacks pine trees of the appropriate age size.The site contains appropriate foraging habitat for RCW. No RCW nests or live birds,cavities,or starts were observed on or adjacent to the subject site. It is our opinion that development activity is not likely to adversely impact nest activity or foraging resources of red-cockaded woodpeckers. 7.4 Monarch butterfly After a thorough investigation of the subject site,which consisted of upland xeric sand ridge habitat, it was determined that there is not suitable vegetative habitat for the monarch butterfly. Milkweed prefer soil conditions not present within the subject site. No milkweed were observed growing within the subject site 7.5 Cooley's meadowrue The subject site is comprised of xeric sand ridge habitat, and there is no suitable wetland habitat found within the subject site boundaries. No Cooley's meadowrue was found during site surveys. It is our opinion that development activity is not likely to adversely impact Cooley's meadowrue. 7.6 Rough-leaved loosestrife 4 The subject site is comprised of xeric sand ridge habitat, and there is no suitable wetland habitat found within the subject site boundaries. No rough-leaved loosestrife was found during the site survey. It is our opinion that development activity is not likely to adversely impact rough-leaved loosestrife. 6.0 Summary The subject site was evaluated to determine the presence or absence of protected plant and animal species, namely the Northern long-eared bat, Tricolored bat, red-cockaded woodpecker, the monarch butterfly, Cooley's meadowrue, and the rough-leaved loosestrife. There were no roost trees or hollow trees observed within the subject site suitable for the Northern long-eared or Tricolored bat. Thus, it is anticipated that no impact to Northern long-eared or Tricolored bats will occur as a result of development of the subject site. There were no red-cockaded woodpecker cavity trees,birds, or starts found with the limits of subject site. Thus, it is anticipated that no impact to woodpecker cavity trees, starts, or foraging resources will occur as a result of development of the subject site. The preferred habitat of the listed plant species is generally found adjacent to the limits of the site,however,none of the protected plants were found within the subject site, as no suitable habitat exists. With that, it is anticipated that no impact to Cooley's meadowrue or the rough-leaved loosestrife will occur as a result of development of the subject site. 5 Appendix A IPaC Trust Resources Report 6 pfr pax F7:#i4 uPe NEFm IrE United States Department of the Interior FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE '0-9CH 3k$5 Raleigh Ecological Services Field Office 3916 Sunset Ridge Rd Raleigh,NC 27607-3726 Phone: (919)856-4520 Fax: (919)856-4556 In Reply Refer To: February 07, 2024 Project Code: 2024-0046078 Project Name: Kennedy Mine Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project location or may be affected by your proposed project To Whom It May Concern: The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If your project area contains suitable habitat for any of the federally-listed species on this species list, the proposed action has the potential to adversely affect those species. If suitable habitat is present, surveys should be conducted to determine the species'presence or absence within the project area. The use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys. New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information.An updated list may be requested through the IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered Project code: 2024-0046078 02/07/2024 species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts)that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act(42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: https://www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/documents/endangered-species-consultation- handbook.pdf Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act(ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act(MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act(BGEPA)to protect native birds from project-related impacts.Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more information regarding these Acts, see https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-bird-permit/what- we-do. The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan (when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize the production of project-related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and their resources to the project-related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and recommended conservation measures, see https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds. In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/partner/council-conservation- migratory-birds. 2 of 11 Project code: 2024-0046078 02/07/2024 We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act.
