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. Page 3 of 16 PCN Form — Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: Riparian: 1.71 acres 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: 3,781 l.f. of Perennial Stream / 1,797 U. of Intermittent Stream 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The purpose of the proposed project is to provide residential housing to Apex and Wake County, NC. Page 4 of 16 PCN Form — Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version 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).

Comments: BUFFER IMPACTS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY TOWN OF APEX 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. 2.

Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement) 5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or ® Yes ❑ No habitat? 5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act ® Yes ❑ No impacts? 5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted. ® Raleigh ❑ Asheville 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.

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 (i) General Area Conditions: Watershed size: 227acres Drainage area: t76 acres Average annual rainfall: inches Average annual snowfall: inches (ii) Physical Characteristics: (a) Relationship with TNW: ® Tributary flows directly into TNW. ® Tributary flows through 2 tributaries before entering TNW. Project waters are 10 -15 river miles from TNW. Project waters are 1 (or less) river miles from RPW. Project waters are 5 -10 aerial (straight) miles from TNW. Project waters are 1 (or less) aerial (straight) miles from RPW. Project waters cross or serve as state boundaries. Explain: Identify flow route to TNW5: Project waters flow northwest through Beaver Creek for approximately 12 miles, and then enter the New Hope River Arm of Jordan Lake. ° Note that the Instructional Guidebook contains additional information regarding swales, ditches, washes, and erosional features generally and in the and West. 5 Flow route can be described by identifying, e.g., tributary a, which flows through the review area, to flow into tributary b, which then flows into TNW. Tributary stream order, if known: 1 st. (b) General Tributary Characteristics (check all that ann_ I_v): Tributary is: ® Natural ❑ Artificial (man- made). Explain: ® Manipulated (man- altered). Explain: Ponds have been constructed at the top of Streams A & B. Tributary properties with respect to top of bank (estimate): Average width: 2.5 feet Average depth: 1 feet Average side slopes: 2I.

(iii) Chemical Characteristics: Characterize tributary (e.g., water color is clear, discolored, oily film; water quality; general watershed characteristics, etc.). 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.

Characteristics of all wetlands adjacent to the tributary (if any) 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.

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".

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.

Notes: Sketch: P,Mre, tsT r F United States Department of the Interior FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Raleigh ES Field Office Post Office Box 33726 C" 3 �� Raleigh, North Carolina 27636 -3726 August 21, 2015 Kevin Yates The John R. McAdams Company Inc. 2905 Meridian Parkway Durham, NC 27713 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.
