Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: * The site is comprised of a single, undeveloped parcel located east of the intersection of Tarboro Road and Mays Crossroad Road. The site was cleared of vegetation in the year 2023, according to historical aerial photography. It is currently zoned as "commercial' with a land use code of 322 and land type A per the Franklin County Tax Search Portal. An intermittent stream (A) bisects the property and generally flows from northwest to southeast through the property. Feature A originates from an offsite pond to the north, with flow piped under Mays Crossroads Road via an 18-inch RCP onto the subject Site until it exits the Site under Tarboro Road via a 36-inch RCP. The surrounding parcels are a mix of agricultural, commercial, and residential use. a 4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past? Yes No Unknown 4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0 4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property: 380 LF 4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:* The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a commercial development on the Site consistent with the existing zoning of the location, with associated attendant features (sidewalks, parking lot, utilities). 4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: The proposed project is a commercial development with associated roads, utilities, and infrastructure. Impacts to the jurisdictional stream will result from a road crossing required by the municipality for access to usable upland portions of the Site (on the southside of the property) and for the required sidewalk installation (on the northside of the property). No impacts to jurisdictional features are proposed for lot fill or SCM devices. Access to the Site is provided by Mays Crossroads Road on the northern property boundary and by Tarboro Road on the southern property boundary. The project proposes to tie into existing water and sewer adjacent to and on the Site. A stormwater detention pond is proposed to treat stormwater on the Site. The stormwater device will not impact jurisdictional features. Typical equipment used in commercial construction and utility projects (i.e., backhoes, excavators, dump trucks) will be utilized. 5. Jurisdictional Determinations 5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?* Yes No O Unknown Comments: 5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made? Preliminary Approved Not Verified Unknown N/A Corps AID Number: SAW-2022-02690 Sc. If 5a is yes, who delineated the jurisdictional areas? Name (if known): Steven Ball Agency/Consultant Company: Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA Other: 5d. List the dates of the Corp jurisdiction determination or State determination if a determination was made by the Corps or DWR USACE PJD issued 1/17/2023 (SAW-2022-02690) 6. Future Project Plans 6a. Is this a phased project?* Yes No Are any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permits(s) used, or intended to be used, to authorize any part of the proposed project or related activity? No. D. Proposed Impacts Inventory 1. Impacts Summary ta. Where are the impacts associated with your project?

Total jurisdictional ditch impact in square feet: 0 3i. Total permanent stream impacts: 3i. Total temporary stream impacts: 97 11 3i. Total stream and ditch impacts: 108 3j. Comments: Of the approximately 380 linear feet of stream on the Site, only 97 linear feet (662SF/0.015ac) are proposed for permanent impact. The proposed internal road crossing is necessary to access usable upland portions of the Site. Additionally, the proximity of the intersection for Tarboro Road and Mays Crossroads Road precludes the ability to include a separate entrance to the portion of the uplands which fronts Tarboro Road which necessitates the crossing. The other proposed stream impact is necessary for the required Site access from Mays Crossroads Road which results in a culvert extension associated with the roadway tapers and the sidewalk/greenway access. E. Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: A wetland, stream, and riparian buffer delineation were performed to identify environmentally sensitive areas on the Site prior to site design. The Project was designed to avoid & minimize impacts to jurisdictional features while meeting the goals of the commercial development plan. Roads were positioned to avoid and minimize impacts to streams. The construction of the stormwater control measures avoids impacts to jurisdictional features. The two proposed culvert extensions are required for access to the site as dictated by Franklin County. NCDOT requirements for intersection spacing preclude the ability to locate an additional entrance at the front of property to access the upland area which fronts Tarboro Road which is the rationale for the internal roadway stream crossing. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: General techniques include the use of construction fencing to define the construction corridor and prevent any accidental additional impacts. Equipmentwill be parked and cleaned in uplands away from jurisdictional areas. Work within jurisdictional areas will be conducted during periods when dry weather is predicted, and large bare areas of soil will be reseeded and protected as soon as practicable. Silt fencing and sediment basins will also be used to prevent sediment runoff into streams. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State? Yes No 2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why: Proposed permanent stream impacts are below 0.02 acre and there are no proposed wetland impacts. Therefore, no mitigation is proposed for the Project. F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) 1. Diffuse Flow Plan 1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules? Yes No What type of SCM are you providing? Level Spreader Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT) Wetland Swale (higher SHWT) Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer 2. Stormwater Management Plan 2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250? Yes No 2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)? Yes No 2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater program? Yes N/A - project disturbs < 1 acre 3. Stormwater Requirements No a L 3a. Select whether a completed stormwater management plan (SMP) is included for review and approval or if calculations are provided to document the project will not cause degradation of downstream surface waters.' Stormwater Management Plan Antidegradation Calculations Comments: The Stormwater Management Plan (SMP) will be reviewed and approved by the locally delegated authority. The applicant requests a conditional 401 Water Quality Certification until the local stormwater review is completed and the SMP is approved. G. Supplementary Information O 1. Environmental Documentation 1a. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? * Yes No 2. Violations (DWR Requirement) 2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)? * Yes No 3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement) 3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes No 3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description. Per the NC DWQ April 2004 Version 2.1 Cumulative Impacts policy, small scale commercial development projects have a "low potential for cumulative impact" since the project is already in a developed landscape (i.e. existing commercial development in the vicinity) and the area already contains the necessary infrastructure (i.e. sewer, water, electricity, etc.). The project drains to Little Creek, which is Water Supply -II (WS-ll); High Quality Waters (HQW), Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW). We anticipate the NCDWR will advise us if a qualitative or quantitative analysis is needed. 4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement) 4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project? Yes No N/A 4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated at a treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant. The commercial Site will connect to existing sanitary sewer lines in the vicinity. The muncipality will ensure the capacity of their facility is not exceeded. 5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement) 5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?* Yes No 5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts? Yes No 5d. Is another Federal agency involved?* Yes No _ Unknown 5e. Is this a DOT project located within Division's 1-8? Yes No 5f. Will you cut any trees in order to conduct the work in waters of the U.S.? Yes No 5g. Does this project involve bridge maintenance or removal? Yes No 5h. Does this project involve the construction/installation of a wind turbine(s)?' Yes No 5i. Does this project involve (1) blasting, and/or (2) other percussive activities that will be conducted by machines, such as jackhammers, mechanized pile drivers, etc.? Yes No 5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat? No federally threatened or endangered species are listed to occur on or within 1 mile of the Site according to the NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Database, (see attached report dated May 6, 2024). NEUSE RIVER WATERDOG USFWS Recommended Survey Window: November 15 — March 15 SPECIES AND HABITAT DESCRIPTION The Neuse River waterdog is a permanently aquatic salamander. It can grow up to 11 inches long. It has a reddish -brown body with an irregular pattern of large blue or black spots. The waterdog has a laterally compressed tail the same coloration as the body; however, the belly is typically a dull brown or gray color with spots similar to those seen elsewhere on the body. Adult Neuse River Waterdogs have elongated heads with squared -off noses, cylindrical trunks, and tails that are laterally compressed and ridged. Three dark -red, bushy gills project from either side of the head and a dark line runs through the eye. The skin is smooth, slimy and a light rusty brown color, with the belly being a paler brown or grayish. There are dark brown or blackish spots throughout the surface that are smaller on the underside. The limbs are rather small, and the front and hind feet have four toes each (unlike most salamanders, which have five toes on each back foot). Its appearance is significantly different in earlier life stages, as hatchlings and larvae. Hatchlings are light brown in color with dark lines from each nostril through the eye to the gills, with a white patch behind the eye and above the line. Their heads are round when compared to the square, elongated heads of the adults. Hatchlings have spots with concentrations highest on the tail, making the tail darker than the head and trunk. Their forelimbs have three complete toes, and a bud that will later develop into the inner fourth toe. The hindlimbs are not yet developed. The Neuse River waterdog specific habitat characteristics include low to moderate gradient streams and low current velocity. It is a fully aquatic salamander, never leaving the water. It lacks lungs, getting oxygen from the water via external gills and needs clean, flowing water with high dissolved oxygen concentrations. The species dwells in streams wider than 15 meters but has been found in smaller creeks. Suitable habitat is not present on the Site. The stream on the Site is intermittent and originates at an offsite Pond and is piped onto the property via an 18-inch RCP under Mays Crossroads Road. The channel then leaves the Site via a 36-inch RCP under Tarboro Road. According to USFWS, the project does not overlap the critical habitat for this species. Further, no elemental occurrences of these species are recorded on or within 1.0 mile of the Site per the NCNHP database search. CAROLINA MADTOM USFWS Recommended Survey Window: Year-round; April — October (optimal) SPECIES AND HABITAT DESCRIPTION The Carolina madtom is a small catfish, reaching a maximum length of nearly five inches. When compared to other madtoms, the Carolina madtom has a short, chunky body and a distinct color pattern. Three dark saddles along its back connect a wide, black stripe along its side extending from its snout to the base of its tail. The adipose fin has a dark blotch that does not quite reach the fin's edge, giving the impression of a fourth saddle. Yellowish to tan blotches space the saddles, while the rest of the fish is tan. The belly is un-speckled, and the tail has crescent -shaped brown bands near its edge and center. Its pectoral spines have well-defined serrated (saw -like) projections along both margins. Stinging spines in its pectoral fins, earn this fish the "furiosus" title that is part of its scientific name. The species occurs in riffles, runs, and pools in medium to large streams and rivers. Ideally, it inhabits fresh waters with continuous, year-round flow and moderate gradient in both the Piedmont and Coastal Plain physiographic regions. Optimal substrate for the Carolina madtom is predominantly silt -free, stable, gravel and cobble bottom habitat, and it must have cover for nest sites, including under rocks, bark, relic mussel shells, and even cans and bottles. Suitable habitat is not present on the Site. The stream on the Site is intermittent and originates at an offsite Pond and is piped onto the property via an 18-inch RCP under Mays Crossroads Road. The channel then leaves the Site via a 36-inch RCP under Tarboro Road. No elemental occurrences of these species are recorded on or within 1.0 mile of the Site per the NCNHP database search. According to USFWS, the project does not overlap the critical habitat for this species. ATLANTIC PIGTOE USFWS Recommended Survey Window: March 1 — November 1 SPECIES AND HABITAT DESCRIPTION The Atlantic pigtoe is a small freshwater mussel with a sub -rhomboidal shaped shell up to two inches long. Individuals in headwater streams may be more elongated in shape. The posterior ridge is angular and very distinct. The periostracum is yellow to dark brown and has been described as cloth -like or parchment -like. The species is dependent on clean, moderate flowing water with high dissolved oxygen content in creeks and rivers. The species is typically found in headwaters and rural watersheds and is associated with gravel and coarse sand substrates at the downstream edge of riffles, and less commonly occurs in cobble, silt, or sand detritus mixtures. The perennial streams on the Site are lower order perennials. No elemental occurrences of these species are recorded on or within 1.0 mile of the Site per the NCNHP database search. Suitable habitat is not present on the Site. The stream on the Site is intermittent and originates at an offsite Pond and is piped onto the property via an 18-inch RCP under Mays Crossroads Road. The channel then leaves the Site via a 36-inch RCP under Tarboro Road. According to USFWS the project does not overlap the critical habitat for this species. DWARF WEDGEMUSSEL USFWS Recommended Survey Window: March 1 - November 1 (optimal) SPECIES AND HABITAT DESCRIPTION The dwarf wedgemussel is a small bivalve, rarely exceeding 45 mm in length. Clean young shells are usually greenish brown with green rays. As the animal ages, the shell color becomes obscured by diatoms or mineral deposits and appears black or brown. The shell is thin but does thicken somewhat with age, especially toward the anterior end. The anterior end is rounded while the posterior end is angular forming a point near the posterior -ventral margin. The ventral margin is only slightly curved. The nacre is bluish white, appearing whiter in the thicker anterior end. The most distinctive shell character of the dwarf wedge mussel is the arrangement of the lateral teeth. There are two lateral teeth in the right valve and one in the left valve. The typical arrangement for most freshwater mussel species consists of two lateral teeth in the left valve and one in the right valve. The incurrent and excurrent apertures and their associated papillae are usually white. The foot and other organs are also white. Maximum age for the dwarf wedgemussel is around twelve years. The species is a bradytictic breeder, meaning that females become gravid in the early fall and glochidia are released by mid - spring. The dwarf wedgemussel appears to be a generalist in terms of its preference for stream size, substrate and flow conditions — it inhabits small streams less than five meters wide to large rivers more than 100 meters wide; it is found in a variety of substrate types including clay, sand, gravel and pebble, and sometimes in silt depositional areas near banks; and it usually inhabits hydrologically stable areas, including very shallow water along streambanks and under root mats, but it has also been found at depths of 25 feet in the Connecticut River. Dwarf wedgemussels are often patchily distributed in rivers. Suitable habitat is not present on the Site. The stream on the Site is intermittent and originates at an offsite Pond and is piped onto the property via an 18-inch RCP under Mays Crossroads Road. The channel then leaves the Site via a 36-inch RCP under Tarboro Road. No elemental occurrences of these species are recorded on or within 1.0 mile of the Site per the NCNHP database search. GREEN FLOATER (Proposed Threatened) There is proposed critical habitat for this species and the Site does not overlap the critical habitat. Green floaters prefer streams with slow to medium flows and good water quality. They are often found in sand or small gravel substrates where they establish a foothold and bury themselves as deep as15 inches. They have limited mobility, and fast -flowing currents or high-water events can cause them to be washed downstream. When they occur in larger streams and rivers, they are found in quieter pools and eddies, away from strong currents. No suitable habitat is present on the Site. The stream on the Site is intermittent and originates at an offsite Pond and is piped onto the property via an 18-inch RCP under Mays Crossroads Road. The channel then leaves the Site via a 36-inch RCP under Tarboro Road. No elemental occurrences of these species are recorded on or within 1.0 mile of the Site per the NCNHP database search. According to USFWS the project does not overlap the critical habitat for this species. YELLOW LANCE USFWS Recommended Survey Window: March 1 - November 1 (optimal) SPECIES AND HABITAT DESCRIPTION The yellow lance is a bright yellow mussel with a shell more than twice as long as it is tall, reaching just over three inches in length. Its shell is composed of two hinged valves which are joined by a ligament. The outermost layer of the shell has a waxy appearance with brownish ridges known as "growth rests' that formed during an intermediate stage of growth when the ridge area was the edge of the shell. The lustrous inner layer is usually an iridescent blue color, and sometimes has white or salmon color on the shorter end of the shell from where the foot extends (the anterior). The longer end of the shell from where the siphons extend (the posterior) is distinctly rounded. Yellow lance has interlocking hinge "teeth" on the inside of the shell to help keep the two valves in proper alignment. The yellow lance is a sand -loving species often found buried deep in clean, coarse to medium sand, although it can sometimes be found in gravel substrates. Yellow lances often are moved with shifting sand and eventually settle in sand at the downstream end of stable sand and gravel bars. This species depends on clean, moderate flowing water with high dissolved oxygen. This species is found in medium-sized rivers to smaller streams. No suitable habitat is present on the Site. The stream on the Site is intermittent and originates at an offsite Pond and is piped onto the property via an 18- inch RCP under Mays Crossroads Road. The channel then leaves the Site via a 36-inch RCP under Tarboro Road. No elemental occurrences of these species are recorded on or within 1.0 mile of the Site per the NCNHP database search. According to USFWS the project does not overlap the critical habitat for this species. MONARCH BUTTERFLY (Candidate) Whether it's a field, roadside area, open area, wet area or urban garden, milkweed and flowering plants are needed for monarch habitat. Adult monarchs feed on the nectar of many flowers during breeding and migration, but they can only lay eggs on milkweed plants. Potential habitat may be present on the Site; however, this species is not currently afforded protection under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). No elemental occurrences of these species are recorded on or within 1.0 mile of the Site per the NCNHP database search. MICHAUX'S SUMAC (Endangered) Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils. Apparently, this plant survives best in areas where some form of disturbance has provided an open area. Several populations in North Carolina are on highway rights -of way, roadsides, or on the edges of artificially maintained clearings. No elemental occurrences of these species are recorded on or within 1.0 mile of the Site per the NCNHP database search. It should also be noted that the Site was completely cleared in 2023. TRICOLORED BAT (Proposed Endangered) During the spring, summer and fall - collectively referred to as the non -hibernating seasons - tricolored bats primarily roost among live and dead leaf clusters of live or recently dead deciduous hardwood trees. In the southern and northern portions of the range, tricolored bats will also roost in Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) and Usnea trichodea lichen, respectively. In addition, tricolored bats have been observed roosting during summer among pine needles, eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), within artificial roosts like barns, beneath porch roofs, bridges, concrete bunkers, and rarely within caves. Female tricolored bats exhibit high site fidelity, returning year after year to the same summer roosting locations. Potential habitat may be present on the Site; however, this species is not currently afforded protection under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA). No elemental occurrences of these species are recorded on or within 1.0 mile of the Site per the NCNHP database search. 6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement) 6a.
