The following Natural Resources Technical Report (NRTR) has been prepared to assist in the preparation of the appropriate environmental documentation. 2.0 METHODOLOGY All work was conducted in accordance with the NCDOT Environmental Coordination and Permitting Group's (ECAP) Preparing Natural Resources Technical Reports Procedure and the latest NRTR Template (September 2021). Field work was conducted on March 2-3, April 8, and May 9, 2022. A field verification site visit with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) was held on April 5, 2022 (Action ID No. SAW-2022-00680). It is anticipated that a hybrid Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD)/Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) will be issued for the project. The principal personnel contributing to the field work and document are provided in the Appendix. 3.0 TERRESTRIAL COMMUNITIES Terrestrial communities were identified in the study area. Figure 3 shows the location and extent of these terrestrial communities. Terrestrial community data are presented in the context of total coverage of each type within the study area (Table 1). Table 1. Coverage of terrestrial communities in the study area Community Dominant Species (Scientific name) Coverage (ac.) Dry-Mesic Oak -Hickory Forest (Piedmont Subtype) White oak (Quercus alba) Mockernut hickory (Carya tomentosa) Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) 14.7 Maintained/Disturbed Common dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium) 315.3 Eastern blackberry (Rubus pennsylvanicus) Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) Piedmont Alluvial Forest Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) Northern spicebush (Lindera benzoin) Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) 10.8 Piedmont Headwater Stream Forest (Typic Subtype) Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) 7.2 Pine Forest Shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata) Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana) 13.4 Total 361.4 1 June 2022 Natural Resources Technical Report - Draft STIP No. HE-0005, Guilford County, N.C. 4.0 PROTECTED SPECIES 4.1 Endangered Species Act Protected Species The United States Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) lists the following federally protected species within the study area, under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (Table 2). For each species, a discussion of the presence or absence of habitat is included below along with the Biological Conclusion rendered based on survey results in the study area. Table 2. ESA federally protected species listed within the study areal Scientific Name Common Name Federal Status Habitat Present Biological Conclusion Helianthus schweinitzii Schweinitz's sunflower E Yes Unresolved Isotria medeoloides Small whorled pogonia T Yes No Effect 1 Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) data checked on June 10, 2022 E — Endangered; T — Threatened Schweinitz's sunflower USFWS Optimal Survey Window: late August — October Biological Conclusion: Unresolved Suitable habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower is present within the study area in the form of roadsides, woodland edges, and utility rights -of -way. A plant -by -plant survey will be completed by Three Oaks staff during the appropriate survey window. A review of the April 2022 North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) dataset identified no known occurrences of Schweinitz's sunflower within 1.0 mile of the study area. Small whorled pogonia USFWS Optimal Survey Window: mid -May — early July Biological Conclusion: No Effect Suitable habitat for small whorled pogonia is present within the study area in the form of sun -dappled forested areas with a relatively open understory and a sparse to moderate herbaceous layer. Therefore, a plant -by -plant survey was completed by Three Oaks staff on May 9, 2022. No small -whorled pogonia individuals were identified during the survey. A review of the April 2022 NCNHP dataset identified no known occurrences of small whorled pogonia within 1.0 mile of the study area. 2 June 2022 Natural Resources Technical Report - Draft STIP No. HE-0005, Guilford County, N.C. Northern long-eared bat The USFWS has revised the previous programmatic biological opinion (PBO) in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), USACE, and NCDOT for the northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis) in eastern North Carolina. The PBO covers the entire NCDOT program in Divisions 1-8, including all NCDOT projects and activities. Although this programmatic opinion covers Divisions 1-8, NLEBs are currently only known in 22 counties, but may potentially occur in 8 additional counties within Divisions 1-8. NCDOT, FHWA, and USACE have agreed to two conservation measures which will avoid/minimize mortality of NLEBs. These conservation measures only apply to the 30 current known/potential counties shown on Figure 2 of the PBO at this time. Guilford County is not included in this list of 30 counties. The programmatic determination for NLEB for the NCDOT program is "May Affect, Likely to Adversely Affect." The PBO will ensure compliance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for ten years (effective through December 31, 2030) for all NCDOT projects with a federal nexus in Divisions 1-8, which includes Guilford County, where HE-0005 is located. 4.2 Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act is enforced by the USFWS. Golden eagles do not nest in North Carolina. Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forests in proximity to large bodies of open water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically within 1.0 mile of open water. A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area, as well as the area within a 1.0-mile radius of the project limits, was performed on March 1, 2022, using the most recent color aerials. Water bodies large enough or sufficiently open to be considered potential feeding sources were identified. Since foraging habitat is present within the review area, a survey of the project study area and the area within 660 feet of the project limits was conducted on March 2 and 3, 2022. No nests or individuals were observed during the survey. A review of the April 2022 NCNHP dataset revealed no known occurrences of this species within 1.0 mile of the project study area. Due to the lack of nests, individuals, and known occurrences, and minimal impact anticipated for this project, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species. 5.0 WATER RESOURCES Water resources in the study area are part of the Cape Fear River Basin (United States Geological Survey [USGS] Hydrologic Unit [HUC] 03030002). Twelve streams were identified in the study area (Table 3). The locations of these streams are shown on Figure 4. 3 June 2022 Natural Resources Technical Report - Draft STIPNo. HE-0005, Guilford County, N.C. Table 3.

The North Carolina 2020 Final 303(d) list of impaired waters identifies Brush Creek as impaired due to poor Benthos (NAR, AL, FW) within 1.0 mile downstream of the study area. Sixteen open waters/stormwater or sediment basins were identified within the study area (Table 4). All features were determined to be non jurisdictional and will be excluded as part of the anticipated AJD from USACE. The locations of these features are shown on Figure 4. Table 4.

These features are represented by an asterisk (*). 6.2 Construction Moratoria In a letter from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), dated April 18, 2022, no moratoria were recommended for this project. 6.3 N.C. River Basin Buffer Rules Streamside riparian zones within the study area are protected under provisions of the Jordan Lake Watershed Riparian Buffer Rules administered by NCDWR. Table 5 identifies which features are subject to these rules. 6.4 Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 Navigable Waters No streams have been designated by the USACE as a Navigable Water under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. 6 June 2022 Natural Resources Technical Report - Draft STIP No. HE-0005, Guilford County, N.C. 7.0 REFERENCES Environmental Laboratory. 1987.
