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 project site consists of an eAsting 24-inch culvert through which an unnamed tributary to Muddy Creek (UT) flows under Bennett Drive. The UT consists of an intermittent stream.
Stormwater from adjacent roadways and the baseball field complex northeast of the project site sheetflows to a roadside stormwater drainage swale that abuts Bennett Drive and
discharges into the Ur. The project site is located in the headwaters of the UT with the areas upstream of the project site draining a commercial parcel, recreational ballfields, and
undeveloped wooded areas. The project site is located in a rural residential/commercial area with some areas of undeveloped woods present. Several residences are located along
Bennett Drive and the UT appears to have been culverted when the roadway was created.
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:
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
120
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The project purpose is to replace the epsting 24-inch culvert under Bennett Drive with two 5' by 4' box culverts in parallel to prevent Bennett Drive from flooding during storm events.
Flooding of Bennett Drive is directly related to the existing 24-inch culvert being undersized. Additionally, a stormwater inlet will be installed south of the baseball field on the east side of
Bennett Drive and a transmission pipe will transport the stormwater to a discharge location in the proposed downstream headwall. Transporting the stormwater via pipe to the UT will
prevent flooding of the roadway that presently occurs from sheetflow of stormwater from the ballfields.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project entails removal of the roadway material, removal of an existing culvert, and excavation of the culvert area for installation of the two new box culverts. The length of the new
culverts are shorter than the existing culvert; therefore, no new stream impact will occur from installation of the new culverts. Wingwalls will be installed on the upstream and downstream
ends of the new culverts and a plunge pool Will be excavated at the downstream terminus of the new culverts. A coffer dam and pump around system will be used such that all work
associated with the culvert replacement will be performed in the dry. A storm grate will be installed on the east side of Bennett Drive north of the LIT in an epsting stormwater drainage
ditch. A transmission line will extend from the storm grate to the headwall on the downstream end of the new culverts. Rip rap will be placed at and below the streambed to stabilize the
plunge area located immediately downstream of the culverts. No live concrete will enter the waterway. Live stakes, a riparian seed mix, and coir matting will be used to stabilize the
stream banks upon completion of construction. Project activities are anticipated to be performed with an excavator. Dump trucks will be used to remove the excavated asphalt and any
excess soil generated by the project to an offsite disposal area. Fill material will be devoid of construction debris, including asphalt, and free of contaminants. Indirect impacts from
implementation of the project are anticipated to be minor and temporary.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

3j. Comments:
All work will be performed in the dry. A coffer dam and pump around system will be used during construction activities. Construction machinery will
operate from outside of the stream channel. Newculverts will be shorter than the existing culvert; therefore, the newculverts are a modification of a
previously culverted reach of stream. Footprint of new culverts is not included as an impact due to the stream reach (30 feet) already being impacted
by the existing culvert.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation u
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The length of stream impact has been minimized to the extent necessary to meet the project purpose, which is to replace the existing culvert with new
box culverts and provide a plunge pool at the downstream terminus of the culverts, which will reduce frequency of flooding of Bennett Drive.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Sediment and erosion control measures will be used and maintained, best management practices will be strictly adhered to, coffer dams and a pump
around system will be used to maintain upstream and downstream flow, work will be performed from abutting upland areas, and stream bank
stabilization and seeding of disturbed areas will occur in a timely manner upon completion of construction activities.

IPaC Information for Planning and Consultation 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 trustresources) 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 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.
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.
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website and
request an official species list by doing the following: NW1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE
2. Click DEFINE PROJECT. VNW
3. Log in (if directed to do so).
4. Provide a name and description for your project.
5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.
Listed species
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.
2. NOAA Fisheries, also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is an office of the

Probability of Presence Summary
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 and understand the FAQ "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.
https:Hecos.fws.gov/ipac/location/A3EIT2IGPJCQ5LRUDVJIWS5WRQ/resources 11/17/2019

lPaC: Explore Location Page 6 of 12
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( ) or- N Ir -16
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timefra me
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 and/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 migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location?
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 AKN Phenology 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, migrating or present year-round in my project 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 refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you
are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. 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). -46
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.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
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

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. V
iX*%
Data precautions !
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a
different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this
inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the
geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in activities
involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state, or
local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such
activities.
