4. Project Description and History
4a. 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 in a mostly rural watershed southeast of Broadway, NC. The site is composed of 4 properties that are farmland used for beef cattle or hay. Forested buffers are present but
rare along some of the stream reaches. The stream reaches are experiencing incision, instability, and erosion. In addition to Daniels Creek, ten unnamed tributaries are included in the
project.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
r Yes r No r Unknown
4d. Attach an 8 1/2 X 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the USGS topographic map indicating the location of the project site. (for DWR)

4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
23.294
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
15,705
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
To provide compensatory stream and wetland mitigation credits to offset unavoidable impacts in the Cape Fear River Basin. Mitigation will include restoration and enhancement to
approAmately 15,518 linear feet of stream and 23.294 acres of wetlands. Terrestrial riparian habitat will be improved through native vegetation plantings.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Stream restoration activities will involve construction of new channels that are designed to be functional and stable. Dimension, pattern, and profile have been designed for all
restoration reaches to provide a crosslsectional area sized for frequent overbank flows, a stable bed with variable bed forms, welllvegetated bank slopes, a welllconnected floodplain,
and improvements to aquatic habitat and water quality. Enhancement level I reaches will undergo localized channel reconstruction and enhancement II type treatments. The sections of
channel reconstruction will be built similarly to restoration reaches. Enhancement level II reaches are relatively stable, and the existing channel will be left in place. Bank stabilization and
repair will be performed where necessary. Wetlands will be enhanced, rehabilitated, and restored. Wetland enhancement largely involves cattle exclusion and native planting. However,
some conversion of headcut channels to headwater linear wetland swales will also be included with wetland enhancement practices. Following this practice, the head of T2 will be
considered wetland rehabilitation, which is the only rehabilitation approach on the site. Wetland restoration will involve transition of hydric soils to jurisdictional wetlands that meet cited
hydrologic criteria. All project reaches and wetlands will be placed in a conservation easement to protect the project in perpetuity. Areas of easement will be fenced to exclude livestock,
and native tree and shrub species will be planted on the streambanks and floodplain. Excavators will be used for stream channel construction and grading, and articulated off -road
dump trucks will be used for hauling soil.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

Impact areas are shown on accompanying figures 10.1-10.5. More details on may be seen in the Engineering Plans (dated May 8, 2019) that are in
Appendix 5 of the approved mitigation plan (and attached).
Impacts to wetlands areas were avoided and minimized to the e)dent possible during the design phase. Permanent impacts include areas where
restored channel alignments or substantial floodplain grading (typically 1 foot or more of cut/fill) couldn't be avoided or in some cases necessary to fill
ditches. Permanent impacts will be offset by vernal pool creation within portions of the eAsting channels to be backfilled.

Impact areas are shown on accompanying figures 10.1-10.5. More details on may be seen in the Engineering Plans (dated May 8, 2019) that are in
Appendix 5 of the approved mitigation plan (and attached).
Impacts are temporary enhancement and restoration activities that will result in an increase in resource function. Enhancement II (Ell) involves spot
stabilization to address discrete occurrences of bed and bank instability. Ell also includes minimal in -stream structures in addition to invasive treatment
and cattle exclusion.
Impact Justification and Mitigation u'
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Stream restoration and Enhancement I activities will introduce fill material to existing reaches, but are designed to have an overall positive impact.
Stream impacts will be avoided or minimized to project reaches that exhibit less instability and incision. These reaches are generally proposed for
Enhancement II activities which will involve primarily riparian buffer improvement, cattle exclusion, and localized bank stabilization. Stream alignments
for restoration reaches were designed to avoid existing wetlands. Unavoidable impacts to wetlands are due to conversion of wetland to stream channel
or to higher floodplain. Linear headwater wetlands will be enhanced at the top of T1 B, T2, T3, T3A, T4, T4A, T413, T4C, T5, T6A, and T8.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Priority I restoration will involve constructing offline channel sections which will minimize sedimentation to aquatic systems during construction. Newly
constructed channel banks will be stabilized using biodegradable coir fiber matting, and will be seeded and planted with native riparian species. During
construction culverts and mud mats will be used at temporary crossings. Construction practices will follow guidelines from the NC Erosion and
Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual.

Subject: Request for Environmental Information for the Daniels Creek Mitigation Bank, Harnett
County, North Carolina.

Dear Ms. Davis,

Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the
proposed project description. Comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Clean
Water Act of 1977 (as amended), Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667e) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).

Wildlands Engineering has developed the Daniels Creek Mitigation Bank in order to provide in-kind
mitigation for unavoidable stream channel impacts. Daniels Creek is located on an active cattle farm and
has been significantly degraded as a result of the cattle. This project will include stream restoration and
enhancement. The site is located northeast of the intersection of US Highway 421 and Seminole Road,
southeast of Broadway.

Stream restoration projects often improve water quality and aquatic habitat. Establishing native, forested
buffers in riparian areas will help protect water quality, improve aquatic and terrestrial habitats and
provide a travel corridor for wildlife species. The NCWRC recommends the use of biodegradable and
wildlife-friendly sediment and erosion control devices. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products
should have loose-weave netting that is made of natural fiber materials with movable joints between the
vertical and horizontal twines. Silt fencing and similar products that have been reinforced with plastic or
metal mesh should be avoided as they impede the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt
and sediment loads can have detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning
habitat, suffocation of eggs and clogging of gills. Any invasive plant species that are found onsite should
be removed.

Re: Daniels Creek Mitigation Bank — Harnett County, NC
Dear Mrs. Davis:
This letter is to inform you that the Service has established an on-line project planning and
consultation process which assists developers and consultants in determining whether a
federally -listed species or designated critical habitat may be affected by a proposed project. For
future projects, please visit the Raleigh Field Office's project planning website at
https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/pp.htmi. If you are only searching for a list of species that may be
present in the project's Action Area, then you may use the Service's Information, Planning, and
Consultation System (IPaC) website to determine if any listed, proposed, or candidate species
may be present in the Action Area and generate a species list. The IPaC website may be viewed
at https://ecos.fws.goy/i arc/. The IPaC web site 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), a list of federal species of concern that
are known to occur in each county in North Carolina, and other resources.
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 to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
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 personnel
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 methods 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 construction
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 Kathy Matthews of this
office at [phone] ext. 27.
Sincerely,
