3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
The subject property and project area is located off of Holt Road approximately 0.25 miles north of its
intersection with Old Jenks Road in Apex, Wake County, North Carolina (hereinafter referred to as "the subject
property "). The subject property consists of an assemblage of 9 on -site parcels totaling approximately 73- acres,
and easement acquisition on 6 off -site parcels to be utilized for off -site utility connections.
The subject property is approximately 73 -acres of large residential lots and pasture land, with Holt Road bisecting
the subject property. Approximately 60 percent of the subject property can be characterized as forested, mainly the
eastern and western portions, with a mix of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red
maple (Ater rubrum), and oak species (Quercus sp.), with an understory of blueberry (Vaccinium sp.), Chinese
privet (Ligustrum sinense), and greenbrier (Smilax sp.). The central areas currently being utilized as cow and horse
pasture grasslands. The pond in the southwestern portion of the project area has been recently drained. The
surrounding properties are primarily rural residences and woodland, with a school and some commercial areas to
the south. Several new housing developments appear to be under construction in the surrounding area.
The subject property lies within the Cape Fear River Basin. Eastern portions of the subject property drain north
and west to White Oak Creek (HUC 03030002060150), while the rest of the property drains west and south to
Beaver Creek (HUC 03030002060160). Both White Oak Creek and Beaver Creek are designated WS -V and
NSW, and located within the Jordan Lake watershed. The subject property is located within the Town of Apex's
secondary watershed protection overlay district.
A jurisdictional wetland /stream delineation was performed by McAdams Company in the spring of 2015, and
verified by Mr. James Lastinger (USACE representative) on March 27 and May 12, 2015. The jurisdictional
wetland areas within the project area consists of three types, Bottomland Hardwood Forest, Seep, and
Headwater Wetland systems. Wetland areas A and B key out to be Bottomland Hardwood Forest, with wetland
B containing a small seep on the western section, according to the NC Wetland Assessment Methodology
(NCWAM). Wetlands C -G key out to Headwater Wetland systems according to NCWAM. There are 6
perennial stream features totaling 3,781 if and 5 intermittent stream features totaling 1,797 if within the project
area (See Figure 4 — Stream Classification Table). All stream features were deemed important, except stream
feature J, which was deemed unimportant intermittent, by the USACE. In addition stream feature J was deemed
intermittent on May 12, 2015, by Mr. James Graham of the NC Division of Resources (DWR). Stream features
A -G are mapped on the USGS quadrangle and /or the Wake County Soils Survey, therefore, are subject to the
Town of Apex Riparian Buffer Ordinance and Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer Rules. Stream features H -1 are
present in the field, however are not depicted on the USGS quad or Soils Survey, therefore are not subject to the
Town of Apex or Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer Rules. The stream features subject to the riparian buffer rules
were verified by Mr. Mike Deaton, on March 10th and April 22, 2015, per the June 4, 2015 determination letter
(Apex 15 -006).
The limits of the stream features and jurisdictional waters have not changed since the original determinations.
See Figures 1 -4, depicting the jurisdictional stream features, wetlands, riparian buffers, and existing conditions.

3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The proposed residential subdivision project known as Middleton, will be located on 73 -acres and consist of 111 single -
family residential homes and 62 townhomes to be constructed in several phases. The entire property will eventually be
owned and developed by MI Homes of Raleigh, LLC, until individual lots are platted and sold to new home owners. As of
the date of this application there are currently, 10 different property owners, including on -site and off -site owners, within the
project area. Holt Road, which runs south to north, bisects the project area to eastern and western portions. Both the eastern
and western portion of the Middleton project will be supported by on -site and off -site utilities, greenway trail, recreational
facilities, stormwater management, and roadway improvements.
The entire site was designed to minimize impacts to aquatic resources while utilizing the remaining parcel. Proposed
perennial stream impacts associated with the Middleton project have been reduced by 469 linear feet through two revisions to
the original roadway network and lot layout (Appendix B: Original Layout enclosed). There are a total of 0.071 acre of
jurisdictional wetland impact, 118 linear feet of temporary stream impact, 288 linear feet of permanent stream impact, and
spanning 47 linear feet for greenway construction. The Middleton project is proposed as a medium - density subdivision, but
all sedimentation and erosion control measures will be implemented before construction to minimize runoff. A network of
stormwater management facilities will be strategically placed throughout the site to treat and detain storm flows coming from
the site. Typical construction equipment to be utilized will be front end loaders, trackhoes, graders, dump trucks, and bull
dozers. Below is a description of stream and wetland impacts (See Figure 4/5, Insets 1 -13). Riparian buffer impact maps are
included with the 404/401 application, however will be reviewed and approved through the Town of Apex.
Roadway Impacts: In order to provide internal vehicular access for residents and safety vehicles there is a network of roads
and access points. As stated previously, two road crossings were eliminated, one of which crossed stream C, impacting 2341f
of perennial stream. The second road crossing eliminated proposed crossing stream G, which avoids 2351f of perennial
stream channel. In addition, an existing access road off of Holt Road is being utilized as part of the main entrance to the
western portion of the project, which will minimize impacts to streams E and F. Although efforts have been made to avoid
impacts to jurisdictional waters, there are several permanent stream impacts associated roadway impacts. There is one
roadway stream impact in the southwestern section of the project area, impacting 125 linear feet of unimportant intermittent
stream J (Fig. 5- Inset 6). There are three roadway impacts on the eastern portion of the project. Utilizing the existing gravel
access road, the existing culverts at streams E and F are being replaced and properly sized to accommodate the new road and
meet the Town of Apex road - section design standards. This will result in 82 linear feet of additional stream impact to stream
E (Inset 7) and 81 linear feet of additional impact to stream F (Inset 8). These new culverts will be properly sized, a dissipater
added to each, and be buried to allow for aquatic life passage. In addition, wing walls were designed and added in efforts to
reduce the culvert lengths, and impacts to streams and riparian buffers in this location. There is also one internal roadway
impact on the western portion which avoids stream G, but does result in 0.06 -acre of headwater wetland impact to wetlands F
and G (Inset 9). All of these proposed roadway impacts cross between 75 and 105 degrees to the jurisdictional resource type.
Compensatory mitigation for permanent stream impacts associated with stream and wetland fill associated with the roadway
crossings is proposed at a 2:1 ratio, in the form of payment to the NC Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) In -Lieu -Fee
program.
Sewer/Water Line Impacts: There are two off -site sewer and water lines proposed to be constructed to service the
Middleton project. The sewer, forcemain, and water line easement corridors have been combined where
practicable to reduce overall associated impacts. West: The western sewer and water lines will parallel the
riparian buffer zones of stream C, until it reaches Twin Creek Rd., the water line then parallels Twin Oak Rd. until
it ties in to an existing Town of Apex water line, adjacent to stream section B. The sewer continues to parallel
stream C, until it ties into an existing Town of Apex sanitary sewer manhole, adjacent to stream section A. There
is one sewer /water line impact area within the interior of the western portion of the project, which has been placed
into a combined easement totaling 40 linear feet of Ragpcfrwfyltnpact (continued on Page 5a).

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Impacts to jurisdictional stream, wetlands, and riparian buffers have been avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent practicable. The entire site was designed to minimize impacts to aquatic resources while
utilizing the remaining parcel. Proposed perennial stream impacts associated with the Middleton project have
been reduced by 469 linear feet through two revisions to the original roadway network and lot layout (Appendix
B: Original Layout enclosed). There are a total of 0.071 acre of jurisdictional wetland impact, 118 linear feet of
temporary stream impact, 288 linear feet of permanent stream impact, and spanning 47 linear feet for greenway
construction, which avoids 96% of the wetlands and 92% of the streams within the project area. In addition, an
existing access road off of Holt Road is being utilized as part of the main entrance to the western portion of the
project, which will minimize impacts to streams E and F. Wing walls were also designed and added in efforts to
reduce the culvert lengths, and impacts to streams and riparian buffers in this location. The roadway wetland
impact on the eastern portion was designed to utilize the upland portion between wetlands F and G, in efforts to
minimize wetland impacts in this area. All of these proposed roadway impacts cross between 75 and 105
degrees to the jurisdictional resource type. There are two off -site sewer and water lines proposed to be
constructed to service the Middleton project. The sewer, forcemain, and water line easement corridors have been
combined where practicable to reduce overall associated impacts. The greenways will be spanned with bridges
instead of using traditional culverts and retaining walls are incorporated throughout the site to avoid impacting
jurisdictional wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
All proper sedimentation and erosion control measures will be implemented, and there is a network of
stormwater management facilities strategically placed throughout the site to treat and minimize runoff.
Proper sedimentation and erosion control methods will be utilized during all phases of construction and
installation, as described in the Erosion Control Plan sheets to be reviewed and approved by the Town of
Apex. All work will take place during dry conditions and can be facilitated from high, non jurisdictional,
stable ground adjacent to the shoreline. The contractor shall install silt fence, inlet protection, sediment traps,
diversion ditches, tree protection, and other measures as shown on the erosion control plans, clearing only as
necessary to install these devices. All erosion and sediment control measures will be checked for stability and
Page 9 of 16
PCN Form — Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version
operation following every runoff producing rainfall, but in no case less than once every week. Any needed
repairs will be made immediately to maintain all measures designed. An erosion control inspections report is
required and will be kept by the owner's representative. All slopes shall be graded no steeper than the angle
that can be retained by vegetative cover or other adequate erosion control devices or structures. No material
for construction will be placed in wetlands, streams, or Jordan Buffers at any time. Excavation will be limited
to the area necessary for site preparation; all excavated material will be placed and retained on high ground
above the flood pool elevation. All excavated material will be placed landward of the normal pool elevation
contour on high ground and confined by adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent erosion and
sedimentation into adjacent waters, wetlands, or Jordan Buffers.

2d. If this project DOES require a Stormwater Management Plan, then provide a brief, narrative description of the plan:
The proposed development is located within the Cape Fear River basin with all stormwater runoff draining
into Beaver Creek and White Oak Creek, also located in the Jordan Lake watershed. Per the Town of Apex
regulations, stormwater management on this site shall meet the stormwater management performance
standards for development set forth in the Town Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) sections 6.1.4
General and 6.1.7 High Density Development Option.
To meet the above Town of Apex standards, six stormwater management facilities, are proposed, five
stormwater wetlands and one 90% TSS removal wet ponds.
Peak Runoff Control Requirements
The proposed project will result in a significant increase in peak flow rates. To mitigate this impact, the
proposed facilities have been designed such that post - development peak flow rates resulting from on -site
development are no greater than pre - development levels in the 1- and 10 -year storm events.
Pollutant and Nutrient Control Requirements
The site is treated for water quality per 6.1.7(A)(3) and 6.1.12 using structural water quality ponds and a
stormwater wetland to capture runoff from the developed areas of the site. The ponds are designed to provide
90% TSS removal, and the wetland is designed for 85% TSS removal. The stormwater management facilities
meet the design requirements of the Town of Apex and the North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Stormwater Best Management Practices manual.

5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
The USFWS web page (httn: / /www.fws.jzov /endangered /) and the Natural Heritage virtual workroom
( httD : / /www.nenhn.orv-/web /nhn /nhn -man- viewer) were accessed on June 4, 2015 to determine if the
project would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat. Based on this research, the red -
cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), Michaux's
sumac (Rhus michauxii), and Northern long -eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) are federally listed species
that occur in Wake County. Based on field inspections and correspondence from US Fish & Wildlife
dated August 21, 2015, it is believed that no adverse impacts to threatened and endangered species and
their known habitat will occur due to the construction of the proposed project.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat? I ❑ Yes ® No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
An interactive map called the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Mapper
(httD: / /www. habitat. noaa. 2ov /Drotection/eth/efhma_n_ner /) was accessed on June 4, 2015 to determine if the
project will impact Essential Fish Habitat.
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation ® Yes ❑ No
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
A review of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office interactive map, which shows the
locations of properties and districts in Wake County, North Carolina entered in the National Register of
Historic Places (http: / /gis.ncdcr.gov /hpoweb /) was conducted on June 3, 2015. It did not reveal any
listings within the project area. One structure to the south of the subject property (WA0776 Triple A
Cottage) has been surveyed, but is not listed as a historic property. Additionally, there are two other
surveyed locations within 0.5 mile of the subject property. As these properties are surveyed, but not listed,
it is believed the proposed project will not occur in or near an area that has been designated as having
historic or cultural preservation status by the state, federal, or tribal governments.

Wetlands: 0.44 acres.
c. Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: 1987 Delineation Manual
Elevation of established OHWM (if known):
2. Non - regulated waters /wetlands (check if applicable):3
Potentially jurisdictional waters and /or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional.
Explain:
Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year -round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).
I Supporting documentation is presented in Section III. F.
SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
2. Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent ":
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non - navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year -round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year -round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody° is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section IILC below.
1. Characteristics of non -TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW

Explain: water color is clear, no evidence of specific pollutants.
Identify specific pollutants, if known:
6A natural or man -made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where
the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow
regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

All wetland(s) being considered in the cumulative analysis: 5
Approximately ( 0.44 ) acres in total are being considered in the cumulative analysis.
For each wetland, specify the following:
Directiv abuts? (Y /N) Size (in acres) Directiv abuts? (Y /N) Size (in acres)
Y 0.008 Y 0.012
Y 0.125 Y 0.158
Y 0.124
Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed: Wetland areas are primarily forested
and support wildlife diversity, aid in slowing storm flows, and allow pollutants to settle out before water flows downstream.
C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and /or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non -RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D:
2. Significant nexus findings for non -RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non -RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its
adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D:
3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to
Section III.D:
D. DETERMINATIONS OF JURISDICTIONAL FINDINGS. THE SUBJECT WATERS/WETLANDS ARE (CHECK ALL

ED Tributaries of TNWs where tributaries typically flow year -round are jurisdictional. Provide data and rationale indicating that
tributary is perennial: RPWs of tributaries of TNW were determined based on the OHWM and the 1987 Delineation Manual
and the appropriate Regional Supplement.
ED Tributaries of TNW where tributaries have continuous flow "seasonally" (e.g., typically three months each year) are
jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section III.B. Provide rationale indicating that tributary flows
seasonally: RPWs of tributaries of TNW were determined based on the OHWM and the 1987 Delineation Manual and the
appropriate Regional Supplement.

5. Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
Q Wetlands that do not directly abut an RPW, but when considered in combination with the tributary to which they are adjacent
and with similarly situated adjacent wetlands, have a significant nexus with a TNW are jurisidictional. Data supporting this
conclusion is provided at Section III.C.
Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: 0.88 acres.
6. Wetlands adjacent to non -RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
Wetlands adjacent to such waters, and have when considered in combination with the tributary to which they are adjacent and

Dear Mr. Yates,
Town O f G: x
P. O. BOX 250
APEX. NORTH CAROLINA 27502
Apex 15 -006
On March 20, 2015 and April 17, 2015, Town staff visited the subject site with you to review a
variety of drainage features as shown on the USDA Soil Survey and /or USES Topographic maps
and determined if they were subject to the Town of Apex (Town) riparian buffer rules. Based
on the information obtained during the site visit and per the requirements set forth in Section
6.1.11 of the Town Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), I have determined the following
riparian buffer widths as summarized in the table below and shown on the attached map titled,
"Middleton Property — Preliminary Wetland Assessment".

* The determined riparian buffer width on ponds and streams can only be as conservative as the depiction on the
USGS Topographic and USDA Soil Survey maps.
This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or
affected parties that dispute a determination made by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) or
delegated Local Authority in the Jordan Lake watershed may request a determination by the
DWQ Director.
An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) days of date of this letter or from the date
the affected party (including downstream and /or adjacent owners) is notified of this letter. A
request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing c/o Ian
McMillan, DWQ Wetlands /401 Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699 -1650.
Otherwise the appeal procedure will be in accordance with UDO Section 6.1.11.
If you dispute the Director's determination, you may file a petition for an administrative
hearing. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within sixty (60)
days of receipt of this notice of decision. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the
Office of Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative
Hearings accepts filings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:OOam and S:OOpm,

Re: Middleton Property - Wake County, NC
Dear Mr. Yates:
This letter is to inform you that a list of all federally - protected endangered and threatened species
with known occurrences in North Carolina is now available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service's (Service) web page at http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh. Therefore, if you have projects that
occur within the Raleigh Field Office's area of responsibility (see attached county list), you no
longer need to contact the Raleigh Field Office for a list of federally - protected species.
Our web page contains a, complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and threatened
species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), and a list of federal species of concern that are known to occur in
each county in North Carolina.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non - federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally- listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared f 'flit thug requirement n ^ g n ;:`:+ t
t:, u. ,. � re arc ,.e:�t a d i.. detcrminin v�h ther additional ca sult,.t'or. ,�h he
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally- protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes.
I The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of
concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation does
not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed for listing as a federally endangered or threatened
species. However, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to
federal species of concern.
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally - listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally- protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified persormel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
With regard to the above - referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are
submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed
action is not likely to adversely affect any federally- listed endangered or threatened species, their
formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at
these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for
your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be
reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species
is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have
on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we
recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species,
including implementing directional boring.inethods and stringent sediment and erosion control
measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by
the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction.
Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the constriction
site and any nearby down - gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining
natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a
copy can be found on our website at (http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh) to address and mitigate
secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality.
We recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in
completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary).
We hope you find our web page useful and informative and that following the process described
above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for
species' lists. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis of this office at
(919) 856 -4520 ext. 26.
Sincerely,
'etc Benjamin
Field Supervisor
