USFWS lists the Northern long-eared bat and the small-anthered bittercress for Forsyth County. The call is
MANLAA for the NLEB. See attached NLEB memo. The bittercress is only found in the Roanoke River Basin,
and the project is in the Yadkin River Basin. Thus the call for the bittercress is no effect. Let me know if you
need anything else.

Ok - For ESA I'm to explain -- I tried looking up the information in my recent modification... I'll keep trying..
What was listed ? What were the calls? Are those calls still valid? And then has anything else been listed
since? If so, what are the calls on those species... I realize FHWA is the lead on this - but the memorandum
wants the details..
Thank you !
Nicholle B.

And then are there any changes to ESA... I usually ask for this.. and I probably did (I hope so) for the October
17, 2019 modification - I'm going to assume the ESA is current.. and I apologize if I already asked.. I did scan
emails for U 2579B... and didn't see the question up front.
Thank you !
Sincerely,
Nicholle B.
And I got a response from SHPO so I have that.

Thank you Amy - the next question is "Is the work in compliance" and I am saying YES... so if this is not the
case - let me know.. otherwise - I'm going w/ that...
Sincerely,
Nicholle B.

I'm filling out a memorandum for this mod... it is asking me if U-2579B is under construction? I may know -
but instead of rifling through my green book for compliance - I thought I would just ask - has work started on
U-2579B... I am not sure..
Thank you !
Sincerely,
Nicholle B.

SUBJECT: Streamline Section 7 Consultation for the Northern Long -Eared Bat associated
with the Winston-Salem Northern Beltway (Eastern Section, Future I-74; From
US 158 to 1-40 BUS/US 421) (STIP #U-2579B) in Forsyth County.
The project has been reviewed for effects on the northern long-eared bat (NLEB). As of May 4,
2015, NLEB is listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) as "Threatened" under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973. As of March 16, 2016, NLEB is listed by USFWS as
"probable/potential" in Iredell County
(http://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cnt, li�_counties.html). USFWS also established a final
rule under the authority of section 4(d) of the Endangered Species Act that provides measures for
the conservation of NLEB. The USFWS has tailored the final 4(d) rule to prohibit the take of
NLEB from certain activities within areas where they are in decline. This incidental take
protection applies only to known NLEB occupied maternity roost trees and known NLEB
hibernacula. Effective February 16, 2016, incidental take resulting from tree removal is prohibited
if it 1) occurs within a'/4 mile radius of known NLEB hibernacula; or 2) cuts or destroys known
occupied maternity roost trees, or any other trees within a 150-foot radius from the known
maternity tree during the pup season (June 1-July 31). According to the North Carolina Natural
Heritage Program (NHP) Biotics Database, most recently updated October 2015, the nearest
NLEB hibernacula record is 95 miles away (EO ID 32171) and no known NLEB roost trees
occur within 150 feet of the project area. EO 32171 represents Black Rock Cliffs Cave near
Grandfather Mountain with multiple observations from 1986 to 2011.
For the proposed action, NCDOT has committed to the conservation measures listed below:
1) No alterations of a known hibernaculum's entrance or interior environment if it impairs an
essential behavioral pattern, including sheltering northern long-eared bats (January I
through December 31);
2) No tree removal within a 0.25 mile radius of a known hibernacula (January 1 through
December 31); and
3) No cutting or destroying a known, occupied maternity roost tree, or any other trees within
a 150-foot radius from the known, occupied maternity tree during the period from June 1
through and including July 31.

NCDOT has determined that the proposed action does not require separate consultation on
the grounds that the proposed action is consistent with the final Section 4(d) rule, codified at
50 C.F.R. § 17.40(o) and effective February 16, 2016. Service concurrence with this
determination is not required. If the service does not respond within 30 days of notice, NCDOT
may presume its determination is informed by best available information and consider Section 7
responsibilities fulfilled for NLEB.
