Subject:Re: T&E paperwork for upcoming bridges Nikki, From the three in the Dan River drainage, it looks like only Bridge 39 over Jacob's Creek might need a survey for Roanoke logperch. It is a direct trib to the Dan River and appears to be big enough and have sufficient habitat. Section 7 consultation may be required for it. Bridge 171 looks like it's too small and has poor habitat, and Bridge 248 flows into a lake. I would be comfortable with a No Effect biological conclusion for Roanoke logperch for these two bridges.

Once I figure out where they are I'll let you know my thoughts on surveys. Gary Jordan Fish and Wildlife Biologist Liaison to NCDOT US Fish and Wildlife Service P.O.

All the rest drain to the Dan River (Roanoke), however, when I used the iPac interface on the USFWS website, it only came back with James spinymussel and Smooth coneflower as the T&E species within the project site. Let me know if I need to request a Log Perch survey from NES and I’ll get on it. Thank you!

A "No effect" biological conclusion is probably appropriate for all of them. The only question I have regards the Roanoke logperch at the Rockingham County bridges. Bridge 283 is addressed and is a "No Effect" due to the drainage that it is in. What drainages are Bridges 7, 39, 171, and 248 in? If they are in the Dan River drainage, I may need more info on them.

It is a mussel habitat report done by EPR (covers multiple bridges), DOT documentation (where I have it) and a T&E Plant Survey report (also covers multiple bridges). Would you mind terribly looking these over and letting me know which ones need to be either expounded upon or need your concurrence? I realize this may not be the protocol, but there has been so much going on internally within DOT I think things are falling off the mark. Thank you in advance! Nikki Nicole J.
