The proposed project requires two driveway access points into the site from West Ten Road, east and west. Construction of the eastern driveway will
result in a total of 0.27-ac permanent impacts to potential wetland-WoUS (Wetland 1 and Wetland 5). Wetland impacts result from fill associated with
grading and the installation of retaining walls necessary to construct the driveway access and building facility while avoiding additional wetland
impacts. Permanent wetland impacts include 0.11-ac to Wetland 5 and 0.16-ac to Wetland 1. A total of 0.02-ac of temporary wetland impacts to
Wetland 1 are necessary to facilitate the construction of the retaining wall. In total, 0.27-ac of permanent wetland impacts, and 0.02-ac of temporary
wetland impacts are proposed.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Avoidance and minimization efforts during development planning and design were implemented to the greatest rodent practicable to reduce the overall
impacts on the aquatic environment while staying within nationwide permit thresholds. Through multiple iterations of siting and the implementation of
retaining walls in lieu of fill slopes, the final plan demonstrates maAmum avoidance and minimization efforts by reducing the proposed wetland impacts
to 0.27-ac. The rationale to support avoidance and minimization efforts include the following:
❑ - Wetland 1 & 5 - Impacts 1 & 3: These impacts are necessary to facilitate the appropriate driveway access road to meet the needs/requirements of
the proposed development. The design mapmizes the available space to
construct the facilities while minimizing impacts to aquatic features. The proposed site plan seeks to minimize impacts to these features by constructing
a 24-ft tall retaining wall along the eastern boundary of the access road.
This plan avoids an additional 0.11-ac permanent impact to Wetland 1.
❑ - Wetland 4: Avoidance of 1.7-ac of wetland impacts by designing grading limits and stormwater facilities around the wetland feature.
❑ - Avoidance of the remaining 20-ac of wetlands north of the development site
n - Avoidance of approbmately 8,600 linear feet of streams on -site.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Temporary wetland impacts associated with construction of the retaining walls were limited to the areas necessary for the contractor to conduct the
construction activity. All temporary impacts will be restored to preconstruction conditions following completion of the activities. All temporary erosion
and sediment control measures will be removed and disturbed areas will be restored following construction.

Re: Medline Distribution Center
Mebane, Orange County, North Carolina
T&E Species Survey Concurrence Request
Dear Mr. Hamstead,
On behalf of our client, Medline Industries, Inc., Kimley-Horn (KH) is submitting this letter requesting
concurrence regarding the results of the pedestrian survey performed for the above -referenced
project in accordance with the methodologies recommended by USFWS. The pedestrian survey was
conducted by KH staff Addie Lasitter, WPIT on August 26, 2019.
Background Information
The project area is located along West Ten Rd, just east of Preston loop in the City of Mebane, Orange
County, NC. Gravelly Hill Middle School is located to the east of the Site. A maintained sewer easement
bisects the northern portion of the Site, while a maintained powerline easement bisects the eastern
portion of the Site. The area evaluated for the approximately 174-acre project site consists of
undeveloped forested land, a maintained power transmission easement, and gravel and dirt access
roads. The property is situated immediately south of 1-85/1-40 in a generally rural setting, bound by
low density, single-family residential uses, undeveloped forested areas, and undeveloped maintained
areas.
Medline Industries intends to construct/develop a project on the subject property which may require
future authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE); therefore, Medline Industries
contracted with KH to perform the pedestrian survey within areas of potentially suitable habitat on
the subject property to identify and document occurrences of federally listed threatened and/or
endangered species.
Methodology and Findings
As of October 4, 2018, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists the Michaux's sumac
(Rhus michauxii) and smooth coneflower (Enchinacea laevigata) as a federally endangered species in
Orange County. A brief description of this species' habitat requirements follows, along with the
Biological Conclusion rendered based on survey results on the subject boundary. Habitat
requirements for this species are based on the current best available information from referenced
literature and/or USFWS.

Kim ey>)> Horn gage 2
Michaux's sumac
USFWS optimal survey window: May -October
Habitat Description: Michaux's sumac, endemic to the inner Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont, grows
in sandy or rocky, open, upland woods on acidic or circumneutral, well -drained sands or sandy loam
soils with low cation exchange capacities. The species is also found on sandy or submesic loamy swales
and depressions in the fall line Sandhills region as well as in openings along the rim of Carolina bays;
maintained railroad, roadside, power line, and utility rights -of -way; areas where forest canopies have
been opened up by blowdowns and/or storm damage; small wildlife food plots; abandoned building
sites; under sparse to moderately dense pine or pine/hardwood canopies; and in and along edges of
other artificially maintained clearings undergoing natural succession. In the central Piedmont, it
occurs on clayey soils derived from mafic rocks. The plant is shade intolerant and, therefore, grows
best where disturbance (e.g., mowing, clearing, grazing, periodic fire) maintains its open habitat.
Biological Conclusion: No effect
Suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac is present on the subject property along the maintained
roadsides and the utility right-of-way. Although potentially suitable habitat does persist on the
subject property, many of the areas of potentially suitable habitat are maintained by occasional
mowing and offer only marginally suitable habitat. A review of the NCNHP records, updated April 22,
2019, indicates no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area. Pedestrian surveys were
conducted by Kimley-Horn biologists throughout areas of potentially suitable habitat on August 26,
2019, and no individuals of Michaux's sumac were observed. Due to a lack of recorded occurrences
and a lack of observed individuals on the subject property, the proposed project will have no effect
on this species.
Smooth coneflower
USFWS optimal survey window: late May -October
Habitat Description: Smooth coneflower, a perennial herb, is typically found in meadows, open
woodlands, the ecotonal regions between meadows and woodlands, cedar barrens, dry limestone
bluffs, clear cuts, and roadside and utility rights -of -way. In North Carolina, the species normally grows
in magnesium- and calcium -rich soils associated with gabbro and diabase parent material, and
typically occurs in Iredell, Misenheimer, and Picture soil series. It grows best where there is abundant
sunlight, little competition in the herbaceous layer, and periodic disturbances (e.g., regular fire
regime, well-timed mowing, careful clearing) that prevents encroachment of shade -producing woody
shrubs and trees on site where woody succession is held in check, it is characterized by a number of
species with prairie affinities.
Biological Conclusion: No effect
Potentially suitable habitat for smooth coneflower is present on the subject property along the
roadsides and the utility right-of-way that receives abundant sunshine and has minimal competition
in the herbaceous layer. A review of the NCNHP records, updated April 22, 2019, indicates no known

occurrences within 1.0 mile of the subject property. Pedestrian surveys were conducted by Kimley-
Horn biologists throughout areas of potentially suitable habitat on August 26, 2019. No individuals of
smooth coneflower were observed. Due to a lack of recorded occurrences and the absence of
observed individuals on the subject property, the proposed project will have no effect on this species.

Dear Addie Lasitter:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence, the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
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 found within the project area or is 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:
httr)s://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.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water Management Trust Fund
easement, or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod nev.butlerWncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program
