The proposed project consists of the construction of a 28.9-acre residential multifamily
development (apartments) and associated infrastructure (roads, sidewalks, parking, clubhouse,
pool, utilities, stormwater management, etc.).
The proposed Neuse Landings project consists of a single parcel (PIN: 8-216-7004) located at 370
Washington Post Road, New Bern, Craven County (Lat: 35.147182°N;-77.103793°W). The
project site is ±29 acres.

The project is in the Neuse River basin (HUC: 03020202) and onsite waters drain to Bachelor
Creek. The Water Quality Classification for Bachelor Creek is: Class C; SW,NSW and the Stream
Index Number is: 27-98.
Proposed Project
The purpose of the proposed project is to construct a multi -family residential development
(apartments) and associated infrastructure to meet the existing and growing demand for residential
rental housing in New Bern and Craven County.
The project consists of the construction of the following:
• 12 multi -family apartment buildings
• Surface parking
• 10 parking garages
• Clubhouse
• Pool house and pool
• Construction of infrastructure (roads, utilities, stormwater management, etc.)
The proposed design will result in two permanent wetland impacts: an impact to Wetland B for
site grading and an impact to Wetland A for an offsite drainage bypass outfall. Additionally, the
portion of Wetland B which would not be directly impacted by grading has been assessed as an
indirect secondary impact due to the small size (0.004 ac) of the remnant wetland and lack of
connection to downstream waters.
An additional permanent impact is proposed for SCM grading on Ditch 3 (jurisdictional ditch) from
the ditch origin to Wetland A.
The offsite stormwater drainage bypass will collect offsite drainage from west of the project and
convey it through the site and into Wetland A.
No impacts are proposed for lots, amenities or utilities.
Protect History
WR conducted a delineation of the project site in August 2023 and the site was field verified by
the USACE on February 14, 2024.
WR submitted a Jurisdictional Determination Request, and an emailed concurrence letter was
received from the USACE on February 21, 2024 (SAW-2023-01824). See attached concurrence
letter and Approved Delineation exhibit.
There are no depicted streams within or adjacent to the project site on the USGS or Craven County
Soil Survey, and therefore a formal NCDWR Riparian Buffer Determination was not requested or
necessary.
On August 23, 2023, WR submitted a SHPO request review for the site. SHPO determined that
they were aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project and have no
comment on the project as proposed. A copy of the SHPO letter is attached.
Proposed Impacts
The proposed project will require the following impacts:
• 0.025 ac of permanent wetland impacts
• 0.009 ac of temporary wetland impacts
Page 2 of 5

Neuse Landings

• 0.004 ac of secondary wetland impacts
• 0.03 ac of permanent jurisdictional ditch impacts
::WithersRavenel
Our People. Your Success.
A permanent wetland impact of 0.017 acres (Impact W1) is proposed to Wetland B to
accommodate site grading, the internal access road and construction of parking areas. Additionally,
the portion of Wetland B which would not be directly impacted by grading has been assessed as
an indirect secondary impact due to the small size (0.004 ac) of the remnant wetland and lack of
connection to downstream waters, resulting in 0.004 acres of secondary impacts (Impact W2).
The installation of a rip rap dissipator from an offsite drainage bypass pipe to Wetland A will result
in 0.008 acre of permanent wetland impact (Impact W4). Please note that Ditch 3 continues
through Wetland A, but was considered part of Wetland A. The riprap is necessary in order to
dissipate flow and velocity of the stormwater flowing down the slope and into the ditch within
Wetland A to prevent erosion of the slope. 0.009 acres of temporary wetland impact (Impact W3)
is also proposed for site access to install this outfall.
To meet stormwater requirements, two constructed wetland SCMs are proposed along the
entirety of the northeastern side of the development. In order to accommodate SCM 1, it is
necessary to impact jurisdictional Ditch 3. SCM 1 will impact jurisdictional Ditch 3 from its origin
to its terminus at Wetland A (Impact S1). Impact S1 proposes 162 linear feet (0.03 ac) of
jurisdictional ditch impact. SCM 1 will outfall at Wetland A to provide a source of hydrology in
absence of the existing ditch.
Apart from one temporary impact, access will take place from the uplands. Upon completion of
construction, all temporarily impacted wetlands will be restored to natural grade and seeded with
a wetland seed mix to provide temporary stabilization until natural revegetation permanently
stabilizes these areas.
Avoidance and Minimization
Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed delineation be conducted so that
impacts to wetlands and "waters" could be minimized.
Proposed permanent impacts for construction of the subdivision and infrastructure have been
minimized to only those necessary for site grading for construction of parking an internal access
road, construction of the offsite drainage bypass outfall, and construction of SCM 1. There are no
impacts proposed for construction of buildings, amenities or utilities.
A peripheral internal access road is proposed to circle the site to provide access to the planned
multi -family buildings which will be located, with one exception, in the center of the peripheral
road. The road is planned to connect to an existing road stub from Hwy 43/Washington Post Road
to the west. A second existing stub road is located at the southwest corner of the site where the
loop road will make a second connection to allow for two access points to the proposed
development. To provide connectivity to the existing stub road for the loop road, it is necessary
to partially impact Wetland B for site grading to construct the internal access road. Due to the
amount of grading needed and the requirement to connect to an existing stud road it was not
possible to avoid Wetland B. It is not possible to create more curve in the road to avoid the wetland
due to line -of -sight requirements and a site design that allows the buildings to be located inside
the perimeter of the loop road.
Due to topography and site drainage, SCMs are proposed to be located on the northeast side of
the planned development, which are the lowest in elevation and allow the gravity stormwater

drainage system to function properly without excessive site fill. An offsite drainage bypass pipe
will outfall to Wetland A resulting in an impact of 0.008 acres. This impact was minimized as much
as possible while maintaining the necessary amount of riprap dissipation needed to prevent
erosion as stormwater flows over the slope to the low point in the wetlands.
The site was designed around Wetland A to the greatest extent practical and jurisdictional ditches
1 and 2 completely avoiding impacts. Ditch 3, however, spans the southeastern corner of the site
where SCMs are proposed to be located making avoidance impractical. Hydrology will be
maintained to Wetland Athrough SCM 1 outfall, and the offsite drainage bypass outfall mentioned
previously.
Upon completion of construction, all temporarily impacted areas will be restored to pre -
construction conditions and grades, and temporarily stabilized.
Access during construction will occur within the uplands except for temporary wetland impact
areas W3. Additionally, sediment and erosion control measures will be installed prior to
construction.
Mitigation
The proposed project will result in 0.025 acres of permanent wetland impacts and 0.03 acres of
permanent ditch impacts. Because permanent wetland impacts don't exceed the mitigation
threshold of 0.1 acres and ditch impacts don't require mitigation, the applicant does not propose
mitigation.
Stormwater Management Plan
The Stormwater Management Plan consists of two constructed wetland SCM's. All engineered
SCMs have been designed as a primary SCM per the North Carolina Stormwater Control Measure
Credit Document and sized to capture runoff from the first 1.5-inch of rainfall from the
corresponding drainage areas to fulfill the minimum of 85% total suspended solids (TSS) removal
requirement of the City's "Stormwater Management Manual." The proposed SCMs have been
designed to safely pass the 100-year design storm event via the primary and emergency spillways.
In addition, the SCMs maintain a freeboard of at least 0.8 ft during a 100-year design storm event.
There are no Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) located on the subject site per the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) 3720556100K dated
June 19, 2020.
The current request is for 0.025 ac of permanent wetland impacts, 0.009 ac of temporary wetland
impacts, 0.004 ac of secondary wetland impacts, and 0.03 ac of permanent jurisdictional ditch
impacts.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or require additional information to complete
your review.
Sincerely,
WithersRavenel

Dear Alyssa (on behalf of Caviness & Cates and Timberlands East LLC),
Reference is made to ORM ID SAW-2023-01824 (East of 370 Washington Post Road / New Bern / Craven
County), please reference this number on any correspondence regarding this action.
On February 14, 2024, we met at the north end of Woolard Trail in New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina
to review the boundaries of the aquatic resources delineation you submitted on September 11, 2023.
We have reviewed the information provided by you concerning the aquatic resources, and by copy of this e-
mail, are confirming that the aquatic resources delineation has been verified by the Corps to be a sufficiently
accurate and reliable representation of the location and extent of aquatic resources within the identified review
area. The location and extent of these aquatic resources are shown on the delineation map, labeled "Aquatic
Resources Exhibit: New Bern Multi -Family Tract" and provided on February 16, 2024, with revisions from the
original submittal.
Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL) 16-01
https:Husace.contentdm.ocic.org/utils/getfile/collection/pl602lcoII9/id/1256 provides guidance for Jurisdictional
Determinations (JD) and states "The Corps generally does not issue a JD of any type where no JD has been
requested". At this time, we are only verifying the delineation. This delineation may be relied upon for use in
the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. "This verification does not
address nor include any consideration for geographic jurisdiction on aquatic resources and shall not be
interpreted as such. This delineation verification is not an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) and is
not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (33 CFR Part 331).
However, you may request an AJD, which is an appealable action.
If you wish to receive a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD), or an Approved Jurisdictional
Determination (AJD) please respond accordingly, otherwise nothing further is required and we will not provide
any additional documentation.
The delineation included herein has been conducted to identify the location and extent of the aquatic resource
boundaries and/or the jurisdictional status of aquatic resources for purposes of the Clean Water Act for the
particular site identified in this request. This delineation may not be valid for the Wetland Conservation
Provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. If you or your tenant are USDA program
participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should discuss the applicability of a certified
wetland determination with the local USDA service center, prior to starting work.

*Note* We have another updated ORM uploads spreadsheet, so I included the revised version for this project
and the blank set as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. My last email had missing
information, so this one should be kept for your client's records and future reference.

Dear Troy Beasley:
D. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
NCNHDE-27764
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one -mile
radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httl2s://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund
easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact the NCNHP at natural.heritaaeCo)dncr.nc.aov.

IPaC U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
IPaC resource list
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical
habitat (collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's
(USFWS) jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced
below. The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but
that could potentially be directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area.
However, determining the likelihood and extent of effects a project may have on trust
resources typically requires gathering additional site -specific (e.g., vegetation/species X%46
surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities) information.
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the
USFWS office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to
each section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI
Wetlands) for additional information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that
section.

Endangered species
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of
project level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each
species. Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes
areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in
that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a fish population even if that fish does not occur at
the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow
downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can change, the species on this
list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To fully determine any
potential effects to species, additional site -specific and project -specific information is often
required. -*- t%
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the
Secretary information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be
present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted,
funded, or licensed by any Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list
which fulfills this requirement can only be obtained by requesting an official species list from
either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see directions below) or from the local field
office directly. ` n
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC
website and request an official species list by doing the following:
1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE.
2. Click DEFINE PROJECT.
3. Log in (if directed to do so).
4. Provide a name and description for your project.
5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.
Listed speciesl and their critical habitats are managed by the Ecological Services Program of
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the fisheries division of the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA Fisheries).
Species and critical habitats under the sole responsibility of NOAA Fisheries are not shown
on this list. Please contact NOAA Fisheries for species under their jurisdiction.
1. Species listed under the Endangered Species Act are threatened or endangered; IPaC also
shows species that are candidates, or proposed, for listing. See the listing status page for
more information. IPaC only shows species that are regulated by USFWS (see FAQ).

Probability of Presence Summary
BREEDING SEASON
Breeds Sep 1 to jul 31
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely
to be present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your
project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read
"Supplemental Information on Migratory Birds and Eagles", specifically the FAQ section titled
"Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to
interpret this report.
Probability of Presence'(—)
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s)
your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-
week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey
effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One
can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also
high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in
the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events
for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted
Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in
week 12 is 0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence
https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/FFCSOEQJIZHH50PHXUQ3VRD31E/resources 7/17

10/4/24, 3:53 PM IPaC: Explore Location resources
in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week
12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on
week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the
probability of presence score.
To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
Breeding Season( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds
across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your
project area.
Survey Effort (1) !'4 Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of
surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The
number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 survey
t4 ix",
To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
No Data (—) S %
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are
based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

What does IPaC use to generate the potential presence of bald and golden eagles in my specified
location?
The potential for eagle presence is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The
AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey., banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried
and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project
intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in
that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply). To see a list of all birds potentially present in your
project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information Locator (RAIL) Tool.

The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other
species that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge
Network (AKN),. The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey., banding, and citizen science
datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid
cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because
they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a
particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area.
It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially
present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information Locator (RAIL) Tool.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating
the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Please contact your local Fish and Wildlife Service Field Office if
you have questions.

"Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to
interpret this report.
Probability of Presence (■)
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s)
your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-
week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey
effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One
can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also
high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in
the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events
for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted
Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in
week 12 is 0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence
in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week
12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on
week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the
probability of presence score.
To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
Breeding Season (
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds
across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your
project area.
Survey Effort ( )
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of
surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The
number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
No Data ( )
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.

Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are
based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all
birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds
are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the
locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure.
To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of
Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity
you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.

What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my specified
location? if It %
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC), and other
species that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge
Network (AKN),. The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey., banding, and citizen science
datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid
cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because
they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a
particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area.
It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially
present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information Locator (RAIL) Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially
occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by
the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and
citizen science datasets.
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes
available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret
them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link.

How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering,
migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool and look at the range maps
provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each bird in your results. If a bird
on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your
project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds
elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their
range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in
the continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either
because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in
offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or
longline fishing).
NO
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in
particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of
rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and
minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and
groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data
Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to
you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal
maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird
Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the
year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional
information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact
Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating
the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.

The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of
priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other
birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of
presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint.
On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar)
and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key
component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more
dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack
of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying
what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they
might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to
confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or
minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more
about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to
avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers District.
Please note that the NWI data being shown may be out of date. We are currently working to
update our NWI data set. We recommend you verify these results with a site visit to
determine the actual extent of wetlands on site.
This location overlaps the following wetlands:
FRESHWATER EMERGENT WETLAND
PEM1 B
FRESHWATER FORESTED/SHRUB WETLAND
P FO 1 /4A
PSS3B
PSS1 B NO
A full description for each wetland code can be found at the National Wetlands Inventory_

NOTE: This initial screening does not replace an on -site delineation to determine whether
wetlands occur. Additional information on the NWI data is provided below.
Data limitations
0
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level
information on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of
high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A
margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular
site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis.
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image
analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work
conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any
mapping problems.
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There
may be occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted
on the map and the actual conditions on site.
Data exclusions
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of
aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or
submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and
nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also
been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial
imagery.
