retained by Stewart Engineering Inc (Stewart) to complete ecological and natural resources investigations along the proposed NC 54 Multi Use Trail in Morrisville NC (Figure 1) The purpose of the assessment is to document existing natural communities �urisdictional resources and evidence of protected speaes within the proposed corridor The pro�ect area is situated in northwestern Wake County along the eastern edge of NC 54 between Carrington Mill Boulevard and the NC 540 interchange (Figure 2) The following Natural Resources Technical Report (NRTR) has been prepared to assist in the preparation of environment documentation and compliance for the proposed pro�ect It follows methodologies consistent with North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) reporting protocols 2 0

rolling hills with narrow level floodplains along streams Elevations in the study area range between approximately 370 and 380 feet above sea level Land use in the pro�ect vicinity consists primarily of roadside right of way 31 Soils According to the Soil Survey of Wake County (Cawthorn 1970) and assoaated information presented by the US Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) website (available websoilsurvev nres usda �ov) the Pro�ect Study Area is underlain by the Creedmoor White Store Assoaation This assoaation consists of gently sloping to hilly deep and moderately well drained soils that exhibit a subsoil of very firm clay These soils are derived sandstone shale and mudstone Table 1 depicts the mapped soil types along the proposed trail route According to available mapping White Store soils are the dominant soil types with both the Carbonton Brickhaven complex and Polkton White Store complex occurring along the southern portion of this area White Store soils were formed during Natural Resources Technical Report — Proposed NC 54 Multi Use Trail Page 1 Prepared by Ecological Engineenng LLP July 2011 � � ATTH 3 the Triassic age and

Neuse [US Geological Survey (USGS) Hydrologic Unit 03020201] and Cape Fear River basins (USGS Hydrologic Unit 03030002) No water resources currently exist within the study area With ongoing construction activities along both NC 54 and NC 540 actual drainage patterns were not differentiated as part of this assessment however it is assumed that drainage along the eastern side of NC 54 is part of the Neuse River Basin This surface flow eventually reaches an unnamed tributary of Stirrup Iron Creek a tributary of Crabtree Lake Crabtree Creek and ultimately the Neuse River Stirrup Iron Creek and its tributaries are classified by the NCDWQ as Class C IVSW waters Class C uses include secondary recreation fishing wildlife fish consumption aquatic life including propagation survival and maintenance of biological integrity and agriculture Secondary recreation mcludes wading boating and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an infrequent unorganized or inadental manner Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) is a supplementai classification intended for waters needing additional nutrient management due to being sub�ect to excessive growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation (NCDWQ 2011� Water flowing west of NC 54 eventually flows into an unnamed tributary of Kit Creek According to NCDWQ (2011) Kit Creek and its tnbutaries are classified as WS V NSW waters NCDWQ (2011) defines Class WS V waters as those are protected as water supplies which are generally upstream and draining to Class WS IV waters or waters used by industry to suppiy their employees with dnnking water or as waters formerly used for public water supply In this particular case Kit Creek is a tributary to Northeast Creek which flows into lordan Lake a water supply reservoir Class WS V waters are also protected for Class C There are no designated Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWsj High Quality Waters (HQWs) or water supply watersheds (WS I or WS II) within one mile downstream of the study area There are no designated anadromous fish waters or Primary Nursery Areas (PNA) present in the study area Stirrup Iron Creek and its unnamed tributaries do not appear on the current 303(d) list for impaired waters however Brier Creek its receiving water is listed from its source to Crabtree Lake for polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) violations In the Cape Fear Basin neither Kit Creek nor its unnamed tributaries appear on the current 303(d) list for impaired waters However Northeast Creek the Natural Resources Technical Report — Proposed NC 54 Multi Use

Kit Creek to a of Panther Creek exhibits standard violations of copper fecal coliform 4 0 BIOTIC RESOURCES 4 1 Terrestrial Communities Ecological Engineering utilized the Classification of the Natural Communities of North Carolina Third Approximation (Shafale and Weakley 1990) to determine and compare existing natural community types occurring within the corridor Based on our findings only one terrestrial community was identified in the study area the maintained/disturbed community Figure 3 provides an aerial view of the study area A brief description of this community type follows Saentific names of all species identified are included in Appendix A 4 1 1 Maintained/Disturbed Communitv Maintained/disturbed areas account for the existing terrestrial communities within the study area This community is characterized as periodically disturbed areas via mowing clearing or other vegetative maintenance It generally includes roadside transmission and sewer easement rights of way residential lawns park and other mamtained areas The vegetation is kept in a low state of succession and consists mainly of herbaceous species Based on the field reconnaissance the foilowing vegetative species were observed fescue bermuda grass Chinese Lespedeza soft rush silverling sorrel dallis grass aster small saplings of sweetgum and loblolly pine as well as other common weeds 4 1 2 Terrestr�al Communitv Impacts Terrestrial communities in the study area may be impacted by pro�ect construction as a result of grading and pav�ng of portions of the study area The proposed 10 foot wide multi use trail will extend approximately 0 5 miles in length The surrounding topography is relatively level and significant cut/fill is not anticipated with regards to implementation Based on the length and width of the proposed trail approximately 0 6 acres of this community will be impacted 4 2 Terrestrial Wildlife Terrestrial wildlife in the study area is considered transient likely crossing this area in order to link with other natural and disturbed habitats outside of the study area These species are likely to include coyote eastern cottontail gray fox gray squirrel raccoon Virginia opossum and white tailed deer Due to the overall degree of current disturbance very few if any bird reptile or amphibian species are likely present 4 3 Aquatic Commumt�es Aquatic communities are not present within the study area There are no existing aquatic habitats Naturai Resources Technicai Report — Proposed NC 54 Multi Use Trail Page 3 Prepared by Ecological Engineering LLP luly 2011 � ATTH 3 4 4 Invasive Speaes One speaes from the NCDOT Invasive Exotic Plant List for North Carolina was found to occur in the study area This species identified was Chinese Lespedeza (High Threat) Other species may also exist It is currently unknown if these species will be managed as a result of pro�ect implementation 5 0 JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires regulation of discharges into Waters of the United States The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is the prinapal administrat�ve agency of the Clean Water Act however the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has the responsibility for implementation permitting and enforcement provisions of the Act This regulatory program is defined in 33 CFR 320 330 5 1 Clean Water Act Waters of the U S There are no �urisdictional streams or wetlands within the study area 5 2 Clean Water Act Permits Since there are no �urisdictional resources within the study area no permitting will be required under the Clean Water Act 5 3 Endangered Species Act Protected Species As of September 22 2010 the United States Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) lists three federally protected species and one species protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act as potentially occurring in Wake County (Tabie 2) A brief description of each speaes habitat requ�rements follows along with the Biological Conclusion

window year round Habitat Description In North Carolina the dwarf wedgemussel is known from the Neuse and Tar River drainages The mussel inhabits creek and river areas with a slow to moderate current and sand gravel or firm silt bottoms Water in these areas must be well oxygenated Stream banks in these areas are generally stable with extensive root systems holding soils in place Biological Conclusion No Effect No suitable habitat is present fo� the dwarf wedge mussel There are no perennial streams within the corridor of the proposed multi use trail A review of the NC Natural Heritage Program s database denotes that there are no federally protected species within two miles of the pro�ect area Pro�ect implementation wiil not effect this species (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) Bald Eagle USFWS optimal survey widow year round November — March (optimal to observe birds and nests) February —May (optimal to observe active nesting) The U S Fish and Wildlife Service has announced a final rule on two new permit regulations that would allow for the take of eagles and eagle nests under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) The f�nal rule should was published in the Federal Register on September 11 2009 Bald Eagles were removed from the endangered species list in June 2007 because their populations recovered suffiaently However the protections under the Eagle Act continue to apply When the Bald Eagle was delisted the USFWS proposed regulat�ons to create a permit program to authonze limited take of Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles where take is associated with otherwise lawful activities The permits will authorize limited non purposeful take of Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles authorizing individuals companies government agencies (including tribal governments) and other organizations to disturb or otherwise take eagles in the course of conducting lawful activities such as operating utilities and airports Most permits issued under the new regulations would authorize d�sturbance In limited cases a permit may authorize the physical take of eagles but only if every precaution is taken to avoid physical take Removal of eagle nests would usually be allowed only when it is necessary to protect human safety or the eagles Population information for both eagle species will guide the Service in determining how many permits may be issued in any locality including other types of permits the Service already issues Priority will be given to Native American requests for permits to take eagles (under existing regulations) where the take is necessary for traditional ceremonies Because of the limited size of the Bald Eagle populations in the Southwest permits may not be available in all locattons Disturbance or take of Golden Eagles is likely to be limited everywhere in the U S due to potential population declines Habitat Description The bald eagle is a very large bird of prey that ranges in size from 32 inches to 43 inches tall and has a wingspan of more than six feet Adult body plumage is dark brown to chocolate brown with a white head and tail while immature birds are brown and irregularly marked with white until their fourth year They Natural Resources Technical Report — Proposed NC 54 Multi Use Traii Page S Prepared by Ecological Engineering LLP JUIy 2011 r ATTH 3 are primarily associated with large bodies of water where food is plentiful Eagle nests are found in close proximity to water (usually within one half mile) with a clear flight path to the water Nests are made in the largest living tree within the area with an open view of the surrounding land Human disturbance can cause nest abandonment Nests can be as large as six feet across and are made of sticks and vegetation These platform nests may be used by the same breeding pair for many years Breeding begins in December or January and the young remain in the nest at least 10 weeks after hatching Bald eagles eat mostly fish robbed from ospreys or picked up dead along shorelines They may also capture small mammals such as rabbits some birds wounded ducks and carrion Biological Conclusion No Effect Suitable habitat for the bald eagle does not exist in the study area Existing and ongoing development highway construction and the lack of large bodies of water within one half mile are likely significant deterents for the nesting and foraging of this speaes A review of the NC Natural Heritage Program s database denotes that there are no federally protected species within two miles of the pro�ect area Pro�ect implementation will not effect this species (P►coides borealis) Red cockaded woodpecker USFWS optimal survey window year round November early March (optimal) Habitat Descnption The red cockaded woodpecker (RCW) typically occupies open mature stands of southern pines particularly longleaf pine for foraging and nesting/roosting habitat The RCW excavates cavities for nesting and roosting in living pine trees aged 60 years or older and which are contiguous with pine stands at least 30 years of age to provide foraging habitat The foraging range of the RCW is normally no more than 0 5 miles Biological Conclusion No Effect Suitable habitat for the red cockaded woodpecker does not exist in the study area Nearby forests in the study area are comprised of a closed hardwood canopy and sub canopy Where pine trees occur in maintained or disturbed areas they are not of sufficient age or density to provide suitable nesting or foraging habitat A review of NCNHP records indicated no known RCW occurrences within two miles of the study area Pro�ect implementation will not effect the red cockaded woodpecker (Rhus michauxn) M�chaux s sumac USFWS optimal survey window May October Habitat Description Michaux s sumac endemic to the inner Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont grows in sandy or rocky open upland woods on acidic or circumneutral well drained sands or sandy loam soils with low cation exchange capacities The species is also found on sandy or submesic loamy swales and depressions in the fall line Sandhills region as well as in openings along the rim of Carolina bays maintained railroad roadside power line and utility nghts of way areas where forest canopies have been opened up by blowdowns and/or storm damage small wildlife food plots abandoned building sites under sparse to moderately dense pine or pine/hardwood canopies and in and along edges of other artificialiy maintained clearings undergoing natural succession In the central Piedmont it occurs on clayey soils Natural Resources Technical Report — Proposed NC 54 Muiti Use Trail Page 6 Prepared by Ecological Engineering LLP July 2011 � ATTH 3 derived from mafic rocks The plant is shade intolerant and therefore grows best where disturbance (e g mowing clearing grazing periodic fire) maintains its open habitat Biological Conclusion No Effect Suitable habitat for Michaux s sumac is present in the study area along the existing roadway right of way Plant by plant surveys were conducted during July to determine its presence or absence No sumac species were observed In addition there are no recorded occurrences of this species within two miles of the pro�ect area Pro�ect implementation will not effect this species 5 4 Endangered Speaes Act Candidate Species As of September 22 2010 the USFWS lists 16 Federal Speaes of Concern (FSC) for Wake
