This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). Please take notice that this certificate of coverage is not transferable except upon approval of the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources. The Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources may. require modification or revocation and reissuance of the certificate of coverage. Please be aware that mine dewatering at your site has the potential to impact adjacent wetlands. The specific requirements for mine dewatering at facilities near wetlands can be round in Part IV, Section D of your permit. You must have an approved Operation and Monitoring Plan before mine dewatering discharges occur at your facility. Discharging mine dewatering wastewater without Plan approval will be subject to enforcement action. Your application included an Operation and Pumping Plan, but that plan is not currently sufficient for approval by our Division and the Division of Water Resources (DWR). Please contact Danny Smith in the Raleigh Regional Office of DWR at (919) 791-4252 to schedule a site visit to evaluate your facility and discuss additional information and adjustments that may be needed to your Plan.

It sounded like he wanted to set up a site visit as soon as he could. It doesn't appear that they will actually need to dewater for a while (could be a couple of months) so I think they will have all the other permits they need to do other work in the interim (roads, etc.).

Our phones are down- I will call you when things are up and running. I would like to talk to you about this mine site. [I do not have problems with the pit location. But, I do recommended the development of a monitoring/dewatering plan to ensure they don't have impacts to features within their 400 foot perimeter.] Dairy Pit Farm, Edgecombe County, - Hwy 97 • Project is located in the Tar -Pamlico River basin. Unnamed tributaries to Key Branch, are depicted on USGS topographic map [Class WS-IV, Nutrient Sensitive Waters.] These features are located on both the North/Western and Eastern edges of the "400 foot perimeter" depicted on the site plans. • Earthen till/excavation - If wetland, riparian buffers or stream impacts are proposed, this project will need to comply with/secure a 404 permit from the USACE, obtain a 401 Water Quality Certification authorization and a riparian buffer authorization, as appropriate. • The project is in a water supply watershed. The permittee should to contact local government (Edgecombe County) to ensure compliance with local water supply watershed ordinances. (WS development densities may not get triggered by mining.) • Hydrology - NCG020932 permit application depicts the following: 1) "man-made ditch", 2) wetland "A", & "C", "E", "D", and Jurisdictional Waters (a pond at 79 feet). 1) "man-made ditch" — Application explained that this feature is 304 feet from the proposed borrow pit at its closest point and ESS (consultant) belief is that this feature is not a stream. (Note: If the feature is a stream and dewatering removes the lotic hydrology of the feature, a stream standard violation could occur.) 2) Wetlands A, C and Jurisdictional Waters — dewatering and/or a monitoring plan is recommended to ensure that resources (wetlands and waters) that are within the 400 foot perimeter are not impacted by borrow pit dewatering.

An on -site determination of potential jurisdictional features was performed by the vt` a Environmental and Soil Service, Inc. The location of the wetlands and the proposed buffers are also M shown on the enclosed site plan. Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to pump water_fr�m a rim ditch.into_the dewatering basin as shown on the mine map duringShe_initial.star.[-of_the.excavahis bad has been designed v� \ fora 1,000 gallons_per minute pump and a detention time of 2 days. Once this area is mined of its �° \M� 4 material, it will then be used for storage of dewatering from the next phase of the mining area. Water will be pumped into the basin and pond utilizing a 6" submersible p_mp (Thompson Pump Model 46HST) at an ave�rag—te of approximately 650 gallons per minute. This pit will be operated for Barnhill Contracting projects only and will not be run on a continual basis. Use will be determined by demand for sand for local projects. Because of the nature of this work, withdrawal rates.and_discharge will vary greatly from month to month. We intend to dewater only when we are actively minin sand and not on a continuous basis. During times of mining we will typically work 12 hour days and pump during those times. Therefore, any discharges will be kept to a minimum. We have also applied for a CCPCUA withdrawal permit through division of Water Resources since this site is within Edgecombe County. Erosion control measures will be installed onsite prior to any land disturbance taking place. Please reference the site plan for a more detailed depiction of these measures. Any water within the ('tw✓ �rvy, 7 d� sc�'Y mining area will be directed to drain towards the pit. There are also diversion ditches with check dams along both sides of the haul road to control runoff from this area. I ?

Matthews Utilities Director Edgecombe County BARNHILL CONTRACTING ❑ COMPANY 800 Tiffany Blvd., Suite 200 Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804 252-823-1021 phone www.barnhillcontracting.com June IS, 2018 Mr. Thom Edgerton Division of Water Quality Washington Regional Office 943 Washington Square Mall Washington, NC 27899 RE: Dairy Farm Pit Edgecombe County Operations and Monitoring Plan Dear Mr. Edgerton: We are submitting an Operations and Monitoring Plan for the Dairy Farm Pit in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, to ensure that any dewatering activities that may occur in correlation with mining activities shall not have any adverse effects on any nearby jurisdictional streams that may be present on the property. Reference is made to the site plan that accompanies this Operations and Monitoring Plan, which illustrates the mining activities as they shall occur on the site. The type of discharge that will be present on the site will be mine dewatering. Reference is made to the site plan that illustrates the points of discharge from the mine. Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to dewater mining operations through the following sequence of events: 1) Erosion Control items will be installed prior to any mining activities on the site. Sediment Basins and Diversion Ditches will be installed per plan design before mining activities begin in the mining area. 2) Mining will begin in on the most north/northwestern edge (5 0 acr- —e aof the mine nearest the property line. This area has already been approved under the express permitting process, EDGEC-2018-008. Any topsoil in this area will be stripped and incorporated into a small berm that would extend around the perimeter edges of the pit. The topsoil within these berms would be used to build any slopes after mining this area. The topsoil berms will be seeded as needed to stabilize. We will strip areas as 800 Tiffany Blvd., Suite 200 Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804 252-823-1021 phone www.barnhillcontracting.com mining progresses to prevent unnecessary erosion from occurring. Diversion ditches will be utilized to divert shed water towards the sediment basin. 3) As mining activities extend below the water table, water will be pumped as needed into the borrow pit dewatering basin. In case excess water flows over the edge of the existing basin, a rip rap outlet will be installed at the lowest point and any discharge will dissipate through the 50' undisturbed buffer to the on -site man made ditch. 4) After all mining activities in this 5.00 acre area are complete, any remaining topsoil stockpiled will be used to build the slopes of the pond to a grade of 3:1 or flatter above the water table, and permanently seeded. 5) Mining will then begin in the remaining 21.10 acre area in the same manner. Topsoil y� will be stripped as needed and used for berms around the perimeter of the pit. As t k mining activities extend below the water table in this area, water will be pumped into �5. the existing 5 acre excavation area for storage of pumped water from the new mining r area. Pumping will be shared between the on -site dewatering basin and newly created b*� pond as needed to ensure that discharge is kept to a minimum, if any at all. 6) After all mining activities in the 26.10 acre area are complete, any remaining topsoil stockpiled will be used to build the slopes of the pond to a grade of 3:1 or flatter above the water table, and permanently seeded. The proposed operation has been designed so that any overflow from dewatering activities or extreme rainfall events will take a natural course to the closest ditch. Water will be t ? pumped at a rate not to exceed 936,000 gallons per day, as dictated by our CCPCUA withdrawal, Yt peormit, utilizing a Thompson 6" submersible pump (model 46HST or comparable). The estimated volume of water withdrawal from dewatering activities will be recorded. Storm water will be managed within the pit utilizing silt fence, diversion ditches, sediment basins, buffers, and berms when topsoil is available. Reference is made to the site plan, which illustrates the design specifications and size of the sediment basin. JJ +yM� There will be an undisturbed buffer established between the mine footprint edges and the jurisdictional ditch edge. The 50' undisturbed buffer along the edge of the mine limits will \� be adequately marked with orange safety fence to ensure that heavy equipment does not enter ° into this area and land disturbing activities do not occur. �� n 800 Tiffany Blvd., Suite 200 Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804 252-823-1021phone www.barnhillcontracting.com Barnhill Contracting Company will work to inspect and monitor the jurisdictional features that appear within the property boundary daily, during times that pumping and discharge are occurring. Barnhill Contracting Company will inspect and monitor the features to reaffirm the presence of the jurisdictional feature and soils, as well as, for the instability, erosion, sloughing, subsidence, collapse, newly formed sinkholes, wetland vegetation degradation, and/or flooding of ditch from discharge activities. Barnhill Contracting Company does not foresee any impacts to the adjacent features or wetlands, but will secure the appropriate 401 Permit if the need arises. Together with data collected by NCDENR- Division of Water Quality from their inspections, Barnhill Contracting Company and NCDENR- Division of Water Quality can determine if there are any detrimental impacts to the property's jurisdictional features. During inspections conducted by Barnhill Contracting Company, if there are any detrimental impacts to the property's wetlands discovered, Barnhill Contracting Company will immediately cease dewatering activities, and report the discovery to NCDENR- Division of Water Quality Washington Regional Office. Together, Barnhill Contracting Company and NCDENR- Division of Water Quality will determine how these impacts can be abated.

Federally Protected Species Summary The objective of this report is to provide Barnhill Contracting Company with the environmental evaluation for the proposed Rhodes Pit as required by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). The environmental evaluation was done in accordance with Borrow and Waste Site Reclamation Procedures for Contracted Projects as presented by NCDOT'. Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to excavate material/dirt from a site located in north -central Edgecombe County, North Carolina (Figure 1). It is understood the dirt removed from the site will be used on the Kingsboro Industrial Site located in Edgecombe County (NCDOT Project #C204145). There is one (1) borrow pit and a haul road being proposed for the site (Figure 2). The borrow pit is planned to be located in an open farm field area and the haul road is planned to connect the borrow pit to Hwy 97 by exiting the borrow pit area in the area of some existing farm buildings, then by traveling through an existing farm field to Hwy 97. 1.0 Introduction This report and analysis was done using NCDOT guidance outlined in Borrow and Waste Site Reclamation Procedures for Contracted Projects'. In addition, information obtained from guidance document Skaggs Method for Determining Lateral Effects of a Borrow Pit on Adjacent Wetlands2 was used in this report and evaluation. 1.1 Site Description The site was located off Hwy 97 in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. The coordinates are latitude 35.969610 and longitude-77.639869. The proposed pit is located in an existing agricultural field. The proposed pit area was bound on the north and west by a narrow wooded area and another agricultural field. There was a wooded area and another agricultural field to the east of the site. To the south of the site was an agricultural field and a farm operation with several out buildings (Figure 2). The soil in the area of the proposed pit was typical of Coastal Plain deposits found on stream terraces. The soils formed from fluvial and marine sediment. The Tar River was located +/- 1.4 miles to the south. Key Branch and/or its small tributaries ran from areas on either side of the site to the Tar River (Figure 1). The topography of the area was relatively flat to gently rolling. There was a general drop in elevation from the proposed borrow pit area to all surrounding areas; however, the drop in elevation was more prominent to the west. Several small wetland areas were located adjacent to the area proposed for excavation (Figure 2, 3 & 4). 1.2 Project Description Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to excavate material from a borrow pit that will be used to supply dirt for the local Kingsboro Industrial Park Project. The site was located at 132 Rhodes Dairy Lane, Rocky Mount, NC. The borrow pit and haul road are proposed to be located on parcel number 480029065900, which consists of a total of +/- 121.2 acres. The proposed excavation area of the borrow pit is +/- 26 acres. A typical excavation depth of 16 to 20 feet is planned for the site. Dewatering of the pit will be required while excavation is taking place. Once the pit is closed out, water levels will be allowed to return to natural levels. No outlets or overflows will be built into the pond once the pit is closed out A haul road is proposed to enter the site off Hwy 97. The haul road will continue through an existing agricultural field, then between existing farm buildings to the proposed pit area (Figure 2). 1.0 Methods Field investigations were used to describe soil conditions, vegetation, and landscape position and to identify any features such as local streams and wetlands. Hand auger soil borings were used to gather soil information and to determine soil characteristics such as depth of horizons, texture, structure, color and consistence. Relative ground elevations at the locations of soil borings and other ground levels were shot with a laser level. The elevations are not actual elevations but are elevations used to determine site specific characteristics. An elevation of 60.00 feet was assigned to a nail (temporary bench mark) placed in a power pole on the southeast comer of the site (Figure 4). All other elevations were determined relative to the temporary bench mark. Elevations of groundwater levels were determined by measuring static groundwater in open bore holes and subtracting measurements from the relative ground elevations. The wetlands were delineated in accordance with the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and AtlanttdGuB Coast Regional Supplement. The Clean Water Act was enacted to protect waters of the United States, which includes wetlands. Section 404 of the Act gives authorization to the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers to issue permits for the discharge of dredge or fill material into waters of the United States. Before the wetland delineation can be considered official, the delineation must be verified and determined to be jurisdictional or nonjurisdictional by a representative of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE). All soil borings, wetiand flags and other pertinent items used to development our site maps were located with a GPS unit capable of sub -meter accuracy. Recommendations are given based on site specific work that included soils identification, wetland and stream determinations, groundwater levels and other site specific characteristics. 2.0 Preliminary Wetland Delineation Wetlands and open waters that were within or near 400 feet of the proposed borrow pit and near the proposed haul road were identified and flagged. Before the wetland delineation can be considered official, the delineation must be verified and determined to be jurisdictional or non jurisdictional by a representative of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Based on criteria for adjacency or connectivity areas of wetlands or open waters were determined to be jurisdictional or non -jurisdictional from a preliminary standpoint (Figure 2, 3 and 4). 2.1 Borrow Pit Jurisdictional 404 wetlands or waters of the US were identified to the northeast, east, south and southwest of proposed the proposed pit (Figure 2, 3 and 4). These areas are identified as Wetland "A", Wetland "C", Wetland "D", Wetland "E" and Jurisdictional Waters. Wetland "A", "C" and the Jurisdictional Waters were within 400 feet of the proposed borrow pit. Wetland "A" was 302 feet from the proposed borrow pit at its closest point. Wetland "C" was 232 feet from the proposed borrow pit at its closest point. The jurisdictional waters/pond was 79 feet from the proposed borrow pit at its closest point Wetland "D" and "E" were outside the 400 foot perimeter around the borrow pit and were not in the vicinity of the proposed haul road; therefore, these wetland areas should be of no consequence to this environmental evaluation. The waters/pond located east of the proposed borrow pit had connectivity to traditionally navigable waters (Tar River) via a ditch that flowed from the pond, across the field in a southerly direction and to a tributary of Key Branch, which flowed to the Tar River. For this reason, the pond was determined by ESS to be jurisdictional. There was an abandoned farm lagoon (upland impoundment) located south of the proposed borrow pit area. Near the impoundment was an upland pond. The pond was dug to supply spoil for the formation of the lagoon. The pond had no connectivity to any stream or wetland and was in an upland landscape position; therefore, the pond should be considered non jurisdictional. The abandoned lagoon should also be non -jurisdictional. 2.2 Haul Road The proposed haul road is planned to enter the site off Hwy 97, cross and existing agricultural field and enter the pit area between existing farm buildings (Figure 2). A potential wetland area was located near Hwy 97 in the vicinity of the proposed haul road (Figure 2 and 3). The potential wetland area can be avoided by routing the haul road to the west of the potential wetland area. 3.0 Identification of Surface Waters/Riparian Buffers The site lies within the upper Tar River watershed (HUC 03020101). A review of North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) documents indicate the Tar River and its tributaries are currently subject to riparian buffers3. Streams and potential streams in the vicinity of the site were identified. A review of USGS topographic maps (Figure 1 and 3) showed potential streams to the south, west and east of the site. The Edgecombe County Soil Survey showed potential streams to the south of the site; however, the streams do not extend to the east and west of the site as shown on USGS maps (Figure 5). The streams shown on USGS maps appear to be potential tributaries of Key Branch. The tributary to the east of the site was outside the 400 foot perimeter established around the proposed borrow pit, therefore, this tributary should be of no consequence to this environmental evaluation. With the exception of a small portion to the northwest of the site, the entirety of the potential tributary to the south and west of the site was outside the 400 foot perimeter. The portion that is shown within the 400 foot perimeter is shown as "man-made ditch" on Figure 2, 3 and 4. This feature was 304 feet from the proposed borrow pit at its closest point An investigation of the potential stream revealed a manmade ditch that was located at the edge of the existing agricultural field. It is the opinion of ESS, that this ditch would not be classified a stream based on NCDWR standards and would not be subject to riparian buffers. A stream call would most likely be needed by NCDWR if the feature is determined to be of consequence with respect to the excavation of the borrow pit 4.0 Determination of Seasonal HiAh Water Table (SHWT) and Stratiaraphy A series of seven (7) soil borings were conducted at various landscape positions in the areas of the proposed pit. The locations of these soil borings are shown on Figure 4. 4.1 Soil Drainage The soils within the area of the proposed pit ranged from moderately well drained on the eastern portion of the proposed pit to well drained on the western portion the proposed pit. 4.2 Deteffnination of Seasonal High Water Table (SHWT) Soil characteristics and measured depths to static groundwater were used to determine the depth of the SHWT at each soil boring. The depth to the SHWT ranged from 2.33 feet below the surface at B7 to 6.67 feet below the surface at B4 (Figure 4). Table 1 gives the relative elevations of the ground surface, SHWT and static groundwater levels (STWL) at each boring location.

Strabgraphy to a depth of 20 feet was based on information gathered from soil borings conducted by ESS and exploratory excavations made by Barnhill Contracting Company. Soil descriptions are available upon request. The soils were characterized by sandy loam textured material from the surface to a depth of 8 to 20 inches ("A" Horizon). A horizon ("Bt" Horizon) of sandy clay loam soil was encountered from just below the "A" horizon to a depth that ranged from 3 to 4 feet. A course loamy "BC" horizon was found from the bottom of the "BY' horizon to a depth of 4 to 5 feet. Course sand ("C" horizon) was found below the "BC" horizon. The soil was in area of the proposed pit was most like the Wickham soil series. Soils in the field to the west of the site and wefland areas were most like the Roanoke soil series. Based on information obtained from Mr. Brent Caudle of Barnhill Contracting, the sand extended to a depth of at least 20 feet in the area of the proposed pit For the purpose of this evaluation, the impermeable layer will be assumed to be at a depth of 20 feet since no data was available for depths greater than 20 feet. 5.0 Excavation Below the SHWT To determine the feasibility of excavating below the SHWT, the depth to the SHWT was determined as described in subsection 4.2 of this report. In addition to determining the depth to the SHWT, the direction of groundwater flow and groundwater gradient was determined based on information gathered on site. These items are needed to determine if "Skaggs Method" calculations are needed in situations where the proposed excavation may impact wetlands or streams within 400 feet of the proposed disturbance area and concurrence from the USACE is being requested in situations where reduced buffers are being requested2. As our evaluation has determined, there are wetlands and jurisdictional waters within 400 feet of the proposed pit. 5.1 Depth of Excavation Bamhill Contracting Company has indicated the typical excavation depth to be 16 to 20 feet The highest ground elevation in the proposed borrow pit area was on the southwest comer of the site (Table 1). If excavated to a depth of 20 feet, the bottom of the pit would be at a relative elevation of 40 feet. This excavation depth would place the bottom of the pit 13.34 feet below the SHWT at B4. Due to the excavation being below the SHWT and measured static groundwater levels across the site, dewatering of the pit will be needed. 5.2 Direction of Groundwater Flow The NCDOT document Skaggs Method for Determining Lateral Effects of a Borrow Pit on Adjacent Wetlands2 describes three (3) pit types in which the direction of groundwater is considered. The reason for determining the direction of groundwater flow is to determine if excavations from the borrow pit, that will result in dewatering of the pit, will result in a negative impact on the hydrology of any nearby wetland. The three (3) pit types described in the document are: 1. Flow from wetland to pit 2. Flow from pit to wetland and 3. Flow through pits: wetland to pit on one side, pit to wetland on other side2. To determine the direction of groundwater flow, groundwater levels were measured and relative elevations calculated. The relative elevations were then used to determine the groundwater contour and direction of groundwater flow by using the triangulation method (Figure 4). Before any excavation or dewatering takes place, the general direction of groundwater flow was determined to be from the area east of the proposed pit 1, across the proposed pit area and toward the wetland area (Wetland "C') located on the southwest side of the proposed pit (Figure 4). Given the relatively low groundwater gradient, it is likely dewatering of the pit will effect surrounding hydrology for the period dewatering takes place. After the pit is closed out and no outlets are created for water to escape the pit, the hydrology of the area should return to levels encountered before excavation and dewatering. 6.0 "Skaags Method" The "Skaggs Method" must be used for determining reduced buffers in situations when wetland hydrology may be affected by dewatering, wet mining or excavations below the SHWT and when the borrow pit is a type 1 or type 3 as defined in the Skaggs Method for Determining Lateral Effects of a Borrow Pit on Adjacent Wettande. The current status of hydrology in the area would be type 3. A type 1 pit would result temporarily as the pit is dewatered. The analysis of hydrology indicates the "Skaggs Method" would be required in this case. 6.1 "Skaggs Method" Results Inputs into the model were from site specific data and estimated data from the Soil Survey. The Step -by -Step Guide for "Skaggs Method" Program was used when determining inputs. The deepest water level allowed in the model is 6 feet, which was used as the water level in the pit. Surface depressional storage in the wetland was set at 1 inch. The depth to the impermeable layer was set at 10 feet in the wetland area. The depth to the impermeable layer in the area pf the proposed pit was determined to be 20 feet. The Wetland "C" was 10 feet below the ground elevation at B4. This would place the depth of the impermeable layer at 10 feet below the surface in the area of the wetland. The wetland soil were best characterized by the Roanoke soil series. Since no on site hydraulic conductivity measurements were taken, the model inputs for a Roanoke soil were used. Drainable porosity was set at a conservative value of 0.035. The resulting lateral effect was calculated to be 133.6 feet (Appendix 1). 6.2 Effects on Wetland Hydrology The jurisdictional wetlands/waters identified within 400 feet of the proposed borrow pit were Wetland "A", the Jurisdictional Waters/Pond and Wetland "C". The results of the "Skaggs Method" indicate a lateral effect of 133.6 feet. Wetlands "A" and "C" are greater than 134 feet from the proposed borrow pit at their closest point (Figure 4). Based on this information a reduced buffer should be allowed for wetlands "A" and "C". Due to close proximity of the jurisdictional waters/pond located east of the proposed pit, the hydrology issue must be addressed in more detail. One solution could be reduce the size of the pit to accommodate a minimum setback of at least 134 feet from the pond to the pit. At present the pond is located +/-79 feet from the proposed pit. Another solution may be to pump water into the pond as needed to maintain current water levels. Daily monitoring of the water levels would be needed to assure water levels are maintained at current levels. 7.0 Federally Protected Species ESS conducted an investigation of the disturbance areas (Borrow Pit and Haul Road) to determine if federally protected species may exist. Appendix 2 is a list from the US Fish and Wildlife Service of these species in Martin County. None of the species or habitat for the species listed were observed in the area of the proposed pit or haul road. 8.0 Flood Zone A review of FEMA maps indicate the area of the proposed pit or haul road are not located within a flood zone (Figure 6) 9.0 Conclusions Barnhill Contracting Company plans to excavate material from a proposed borrow pit located off Hwy 97 in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. An environmental evaluation was conducted by ESS to identify wetlands, streams, protected species and flood zones that may be impacted by the activities related to the proposed project. The evaluation revealed wetlands within 400 feet of the proposed borrow pit and haul road. After reviewing the proposed activities and applying pertinent rules and regulations, it appears the activity can be achieved without adverse effects to the wetland hydrology of wetland "A", wetland "C" or the potential wetland area located near Hwy 97. The "Skaggs Method" calculations indicate a lateral effect of 134 feet, which would affect only the jurisdictional waters located to the east of the site. Proper measures can be taken to insure hydrology of the pond remains as is during the dewatering phase of the operation. After completion of the excavation and dewatering of the pit, the water level in the pit will be allowed to return to pre - operation levels. Based on information provided by Barnhill Contracting Company, the site does lies adjacent to but not within any flood zone based in FEMA maps. No federally endangered species were observed in the area of the proposed pit or haul road.

T(S/A) = threatened due to similarity of appearance. A [axon that is threatened due to similarity of appearance with another listed species and is listed for its protection. Taxa listed as T(S/A) are not biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation. See below. EXP = experimental population. A taxon listed as experimental (either essential or nonessential). Experimental, nonessential populations of endangered species (e.g., red wolf) are treated as threatened species on public land, for consultation purposes, and as species proposed for listing on private land. P = proposed. Taxa proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened will be noted as "PE" or "PT", respectively. Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA): In the July 9, 2007 Federal Register( 72:37346-37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered, and removed (de- listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. 'Ibis delisting took effect August 8,2007. After delisting, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) (16 U.S.C. 668-668d) becomes the primary law protecting bald eagles. The Eagle Act prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of "take" that includes "disturb". 1he USFWS has developed National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines to provide guidance to land managers, landowners, and others as to how to avoid disturbing bald eagles. For mor information, visithttp:/hv_ww.fws.ggv/migrau>pbirds bald aglc.htm Threatened due to similarity of aaaearance(T(S/A)): In the November 4, 1997 Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog turtle (from New York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from Virginia south to Georgia) was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S/A) designation bans the collection and interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles from the southern population. The T(S/A) designation has no effect on land management activities by private landowners in North Carolina, part of the southern population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S/A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers the southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss.

An on -site determination of potential jurisdictional features was performed by the Environmental and Soil Service, Inc. The location of the wetlands and the proposed buffers are also shown on the enclosed site plan, Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to pump water from a rim ditch into the dewatering basin as shown on the mine map during the initial start of the excavation. This basin has been designed for a 1,000 gallons per minute pump and a detention time of 2 days. Once this area is mined of its material, it will then be used for storage of dewatering from the next phase of the mining area. Water will be pumped into the basin and pond utilizing a 6" submersible pump (Thompson Pump Model 46HST) at an average rate of approximately 650 gallons per minute. This pit will be operated for Barnhill Contracting projects only and will not be run on a continual basis. Use will be determined by demand for sand for local projects. Because of the nature of this work, withdrawal rates and discharge will vary greatly from month to month. We intend to dewater only when we are actively mining sand and not on a continuous basis. During times of mining we will typically work 12 hour days and pump during those times. Therefore, any discharges will be kept to a minimum. We have also applied for a CCPCUA withdrawal permit through division of Water Resources since this site is within Edgecombe County. Erosion control measures will be installed onsite prior to any land disturbance taking place. Please reference the site plan for a more detailed depiction of these measures. Any water within the mining area will be directed to drain towards the pit. There are also diversion ditches with check dams along both sides of the haul road to control runoff from this area. 1X 800 Tiffany Blvd., Suite 200 Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804 2S2-823-1021phone www. ba rnh illcontracting.com Please find enclosed one (1) original and two (2) copies of the NPDES Notice of Intent Permit Application and supporting documents.

Matthews Utilities Director Edgecombe County BARNHILL CONTRACTING COMPANY 800 Tiffany Blvd., Suite 200 Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804 252-823-1021phone www.barnhillcontracting.com June 18, 2018 Mr. Thom Edgerton Division of Water Quality Washington Regional Office 943 Washington Square Mall Washington, NC 27899 RE: Dairy Farm Pit Edgecombe County Operations and Monitoring Plan Dear Mr. Edgerton: We are submitting an Operations and Monitoring Plan for the Dairy Farm Pit in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, to ensure that any dewatering activities that may occur in correlation with mining activities shall not have any adverse effects on any nearby jurisdictional streams that may be present on the property. Reference is made to the site plan that accompanies this Operations and Monitoring Plan, which illustrates the mining activities as they shall occur on the site. The type of discharge that will be present on the site will be mine dewatering. Reference is made to the site plan that illustrates the points of discharge from the mine. Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to dewater mining operations through the following sequence of events: 1) Erosion Control items will be installed prior to any mining activities on the site. Sediment Basins and Diversion Ditches will be installed per plan design before mining activities begin in the mining area. 2) Mining will begin in on the most north/northwestern edge (5.0 acre area) of the mine nearest the property line. This area has already been approved under the express permitting process, EDGEC-2018-008. Any topsoil in this area will be stripped and incorporated into a small berm that would extend around the perimeter edges of the pit. The topsoil within these berms would be used to build any slopes after mining this area. The topsoil berms will be seeded as needed to stabilize. We will strip areas as 800 Tiffany Blvd., Suite 200 Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804 2S2-823-1021phone www.barnhilicontracting.com mining progresses to prevent unnecessary erosion from occurring. Diversion ditches will be utilized to divert shed water towards the sediment basin. 3) As mining activities extend below the water table, water will be pumped as needed into the borrow pit dewatering basin. In case excess water flows over the edge of the existing basin, a rip rap outlet will be installed at the lowest point and any discharge will dissipate through the 50' undisturbed buffer to the on -site man made ditch. 4) After all mining activities in this 5.00 acre area are complete, any remaining topsoil stockpiled will be used to build the slopes of the pond to a grade of 3:1 or flatter above the water table, and permanently seeded. 5) Mining will then begin in the remaining 21.10 acre area in the same manner. Topsoil will be stripped as needed and used for berms around the perimeter of the pit. As mining activities extend below the water table in this area, water will be pumped into the existing 5 acre excavation area for storage of pumped water from the new mining area. Pumping will be shared between the on -site dewatering basin and newly created pond as needed to ensure that discharge is kept to a minimum, if any at all. 6) After all mining activities in the 26.10 acre area are complete, any remaining topsoil stockpiled will be used to build the slopes of the pond to a grade of 3:1 or flatter above the water table, and permanently seeded. The proposed operation has been designed so that any overflow from dewatering activities or extreme rainfall events will take a natural course to the closest ditch. Water will be pumped at a rate not to exceed 936,000 gallons per day, as dictated by our CCPCUA withdrawal permit, utilizing a Thompson 6" submersible pump (model 46HST or comparable). The estimated volume of water withdrawal from dewatering activities will be recorded. Storm water will be managed within the pit utilizing silt fence, diversion ditches, sediment basins, buffers, and berms when topsoil is available. Reference is made to the site plan, which illustrates the design specifications and size of the sediment basin. There will be an undisturbed buffer established between the mine footprint edges and the jurisdictional ditch edge. The 50' undisturbed buffer along the edge of the mine limits will be adequately marked with orange safety fence to ensure that heavy equipment does not enter into this area and land disturbing activities do not occur. 800 Tiffany Blvd., Suite 200 Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804 252-823-1021 phone www.barnhillcontracting.com Barnhill Contracting Company will work to inspect and monitor the jurisdictional features that appear within the property boundary daily, during times that pumping and discharge are occurring. Barnhill Contracting Company will inspect and monitor the features to reaffirm the presence of the jurisdictional feature and soils, as well as, for the instability, erosion, sloughing, subsidence, collapse, newly formed sinkholes, wetland vegetation degradation, and/or flooding of ditch from discharge activities. Barnhill Contracting Company does not foresee any impacts to the adjacent features or wetlands, but will secure the appropriate 401 Permit if the need arises. Together with data collected by NCDENR- Division of Water Quality from their inspections, Barnhill Contracting Company and NCDENR- Division of Water Quality can determine if there are any detrimental impacts to the property's jurisdictional features. During inspections conducted by Barnhill Contracting Company, if there are any detrimental impacts to the property's wetlands discovered, Barnhill Contracting Company will immediately cease dewatering activities, and report the discovery to NCDENR- Division of Water Quality Washington Regional Office. Together, Barnhill Contracting Company and NCDENR- Division of Water Quality will determine how these impacts can be abated.

"Skaggs Method" Results 2. Federally Protected Species 1 Summary The objective of this report is to provide Barnhill Contracting Company with the environmental evaluation for the proposed Rhodes Pit as required by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). The environmental evaluation was done in accordance with Borrow and Waste Site Reclamation Procedures for Contracted Projects as presented by NCDOT'. Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to excavate material/dirt from a site located in north -central Edgecombe County, North Carolina (Figure 1). It is understood the dirt removed from the site will be used on the Kingsboro Industrial Site located in Edgecombe County (NCDOT Project #C204145). There is one (1) borrow pit and a haul road being proposed for the site (Figure 2). The borrow pit is planned to be located in an open farm field area and the haul road is planned to connect the borrow pit to Hwy 97 by exiting the borrow pit area in the area of some existing farm buildings, then by traveling through an existing farm field to Hwy 97. 1.0 Introduction This report and analysis was done using NCDOT guidance outlined in Borrow and Waste Site Reclamation Procedures for Contracted Projects'. In addition, information obtained from guidance document Skaggs Method for Determining Lateral Effects of a Borrow Pit on Adjacent Wetlands2 was used in this report and evaluation. 1.1 Site Description The site was located off Hwy 97 in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. The coordinates are latitude 35.969610 and longitude-77.639869. The proposed pit is located in an existing agricultural field. The proposed pit area was bound on the north and west by a narrow wooded area and another agricultural field. There was a wooded area and another agricultural field to the east of the site. To the south of the site was an agricultural field and a farm operation with several out buildings (Figure 2). The soil in the area of the proposed pit was typical of Coastal Plain deposits found on stream terraces. The soils formed from fluvial and marine sediment. The Tar River was located +/- 1.4 miles to the south. Key Branch and/or its small tributaries ran from areas on either side of the site to the Tar River (Figure 1). The topography of the area was relatively flat to gently rolling. There was a general drop in elevation from the proposed borrow pit area to all surrounding areas; however, the drop in elevation was more prominent to the west. Several small wetland areas were located adjacent to the area proposed for excavation (Figure 2, 3 & 4). 1.2 Project Description Barnhill Contracting Company proposes to excavate material from a borrow pit that will be used to supply dirt for the local Kingsboro Industrial Park Project. The site was located at 132 Rhodes Dairy Lane, Rocky Mount, NC. The borrow pit and haul road are proposed to be located on parcel number 480029065900, which consists of a total of +/- 121.2 acres. The proposed excavation area of the borrow pit is +/- 26 acres. A typical excavation depth of 16 to 20 feet is planned for the site. Dewatering of the pit will be required while excavation is taking place. Once the pit is closed out, water levels will be allowed to return to natural levels. No outlets or overflows will be built into the pond once the pit is closed out A haul road is proposed to enter the site off Hwy 97. The haul road will continue through an existing agricultural field, then between existing farm buildings to the proposed pit area (Figure 2). 1.0 Methods Field investigations were used to describe soil conditions, vegetation, and landscape position and to identify any features such as local streams and wetlands. Hand auger soil borings were used to gather soil information and to determine soil characteristics such as depth of horizons, texture, structure, color and consistence. Relative ground elevations at the locations of soil borings and other ground levels were shot with a laser level. The elevations are not actual elevations but are elevations used to determine site specific characteristics. An elevation of 60.00 feet was assigned to a nail (temporary bench mark) placed in a power pole on the southeast comer of the site (Figure 4). All other elevations were determined relative to the temporary bench mark. Elevations of groundwater levels were determined by measuring static groundwater in open bore holes and subtracting measurements from the relative ground elevations. The wetlands were delineated in accordance with the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and AtlanticlGulf Coast Regional Supplement. The Clean Water Act was enacted to protect waters of the United States, which includes wetlands. Section 404 of the Act gives authorization to the Secretary of the Army, acting through the Chief of Engineers to issue permits for the discharge of dredge or fill material into waters of the United States. Before the wetland delineation can be considered official, the delineation must be verified and determined to be jurisdictional or non -jurisdictional by a representative of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE). All soil borings, wetland flags and other pertinent items used to development our site maps were located with a GPS unit capable of sub -meter accuracy. Recommendations are given based on site specific work that included soils identification, wetland and stream determinations, groundwater levels and other site specific characteristics. 2.0 Preliminary Wetland Delineation Wetlands and open waters that were within or near 400 feet of the proposed borrow pit and near the proposed haul road were identified and flagged. Before the wetland delineation can be considered official, the delineation must be verified and determined to be jurisdictional or non -jurisdictional by a representative of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Based on criteria for adjacency or connectivity areas of wetlands or open waters were determined to be jurisdictional or non jurisdictional from a preliminary standpoint (Figure 2, 3 and 4). 2.1 Borrow Pit Jurisdictional 404 wetlands or waters of the US were identified to the northeast, east, south and southwest of proposed the proposed pit (Figure 2, 3 and 4). These areas are identified as Wetland "A", Wetland "C", Wetland "D", Wetland "E" and Jurisdictional Waters. Wetland "A", "C" and the Jurisdictional Waters were within 400 feet of the proposed borrow pit. Wetland "A" was 302 feet from the proposed borrow pit at its closest point. Wetland "C" was 232 feet from the proposed borrow pit at its closest point. The jurisdictional waters/pond was 79 feet from the proposed borrow pit at its closest point Wetland "D" and "E" were outside the 400 foot perimeter around the borrow pit and were not in the vicinity of the proposed haul road; therefore, these wetland areas should be of no consequence to this environmental evaluation. The waters/pond located east of the proposed borrow pit had connectivity to traditionally navigable waters (Tar River) via a ditch that flowed from the pond, across the field in a southerly direction and to a tributary of Key Branch, which flowed to the Tar River. For this reason, the pond was determined by ESS to be jurisdictional. There was an abandoned farm lagoon (upland impoundment) located south of the proposed borrow pit area. Near the impoundment was an upland pond. The pond was dug to supply spoil for the formation of the lagoon. The pond had no connectivity to any stream or wetland and was in an upland landscape position; therefore, the pond should be considered non jurisdictional. The abandoned lagoon should also be non -jurisdictional. 2.2 Haut Road The proposed haul road is planned to enter the site off Hwy 97, cross and existing agricultural field and enter the pit area between existing farm buildings (Figure 2). A potential wetland area was located near Hwy 97 in the vicinity of the proposed haul road (Figure 2 and 3). The potential wetland area can be avoided by routing the haul road to the west of the potential wetland area. 3.0 Identification of Surface WaterstRiparian Buffers The site lies within the upper Tar River watershed (HUC 03020101). A review of North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) documents indicate the Tar River and its tributaries are currently subject to riparian buffers3. Streams and potential streams in the vicinity of the site were identified. A review of USGS topographic maps (Figure 1 and 3) showed potential streams to the south, west and east of the site. The Edgecombe County Soil Survey showed potential streams to the south of the site; however, the streams do not extend to the east and west of the site as shown on USGS maps (Figure 5). The streams shown on USGS maps appear to be potential tributaries of Key Branch. The tributary to the east of the site was outside the 400 foot perimeter established around the proposed borrow pit; therefore, this tributary should be of no consequence to this environmental evaluation. With the exception of a small portion to the northwest of the site, the entirety of the potential tributary to the south and west of the site was outside the 400 foot perimeter. The portion that is shown within the 400 foot perimeter is shown as "man-made ditch" on Figure 2, 3 and 4. This feature was 304 feet from the proposed borrow pit at its closest point An investigation of the potential stream revealed a man-made ditch that was located at the edge of the existing agricultural field. It is the opinion of ESS, that this ditch would not be classified a stream based on NCDWR standards and would not be subject to riparian buffers. A stream call would most likely be needed by NCDWR if the feature is determined to be of consequence with respect to the excavation of the borrow pit 4.0 Determination of Seasonal High Water Table (SHWT) and Stratigraphy A series of seven (7) soil borings were conducted at various landscape positions in the areas of the proposed pit. The locations of these soil borings are shown on Figure 4. 4.1 Soil Drainage The soils within the area of the proposed pit ranged from moderately well drained on the eastern portion of the proposed pit to well drained on the western portion the proposed pit. 4.2 Determination of Seasonal High Water Table (SHWT) Soil characteristics and measured depths to static groundwater were used to determine the depth of the SHWT at each soil boring. The depth to the SHWT ranged from 2.33 feet below the surface at B7 to 6.67 feet below the surface at B4 (Figure 4). Table 1 gives the relative elevations of the ground surface, SHWT and static groundwater levels (STWL) at each boring location.

Stratigraphy to a depth of 20 feet was based on information gathered from soil borings conducted by ESS and exploratory excavations made by Barnhill Contracting Company. Soil descriptions are available upon request. The soils were characterized by sandy loam textured material from the surface to a depth of 8 to 20 inches ("A" Horizon). A horizon ("Bt" Horizon) of sandy clay loam soil was encountered from just below the "A" horizon to a depth that ranged from 3 to 4 feet. A course loamy "BC" horizon was found from the bottom of the "Bt" horizon to a depth of 4 to 5 feet. Course sand ("C" horizon) was found below the "BC" horizon. The soil was in area of the proposed pit was most like the Wickham soil series. Soils in the field to the west of the site and wetland areas were most like the Roanoke soil series. Based on information obtained from Mr. Brent Caudle of Barnhill Contracting, the sand extended to a depth of at least 20 feet in the area of the proposed pit For the purpose of this evaluation, the impermeable layer will be assumed to be at a depth of 20 feet since no data was available for depths greater than 20 feet. 6.0 Excavation Below the SHWT To determine the feasibility of excavating below the SHWT, the depth to the SHWr was determined as described in subsection 4.2 of this report. In addition to determining the depth to the SHWT, the direction of groundwater flow and groundwater gradient was determined based on information gathered on site. These items are needed to determine if "Skaggs Method" calculations are needed in situations where the proposed excavation may impact wetlands or streams within 400 feet of the proposed disturbance area and concurrence from the USACE is being requested in situations where reduced buffers are being requested2. As our evaluation has determined, there are wetlands and jurisdictional waters within 400 feet of the proposed pit. 5.1 Depth of Excavation Barnhill Contracting Company has indicated the typical excavation depth to be 16 to 20 feet The highest ground elevation in the proposed borrow pit area was on the southwest comer of the site (Table 1). If excavated to a depth of 20 feet, the bottom of the pit would be at a relative elevation of 40 feet. This excavation depth would place the bottom of the pit 13.34 feet below the SHWT at B4. Due to the excavation being below the SHWT and measured static groundwater levels across the site, dewatering of the pit will be needed. 5.2 Direction of Groundwater Flow The NCDOT document Skaggs Method for Determining Lateral Effects of a Borrow Pit on Adjacent Wetlands' describes three (3) pit types in which the direction of groundwater is considered. The reason for determining the direction of groundwater flow is to determine if excavations from the borrow pit, that will result in dewatering of the pit, will result in a negative impact on the hydrology of any nearby wetland. The three (3) pit types described in the document are: 1. Flow from wetland to pit 2. Flow from pit to wetland and 3. Flow through pits: wetland to pit on one side, pit to wetland on other side'. 5 To determine the direction of groundwater flow, groundwater levels were measured and relative elevations calculated. The relative elevations were then used to determine the groundwater contour and direction of groundwater flow by using the triangulation method (Figure 4). Before any excavation or dewatering takes place, the general direction of groundwater flow was determined to be from the area east of the proposed pit 1, across the proposed pit area and toward the wetland area (Wetland "C") located on the southwest side of the proposed pit (Figure 4). Given the relatively low groundwater gradient, it is likely dewatering of the pit will effect surrounding hydrology for the period dewatering takes place. After the pit is closed out and no outlets are created for water to escape the pit, the hydrology of the area should return to levels encountered before excavation and dewatering. 6.0 "Skaggs Method" The "Skaggs Method" must be used for determining reduced buffers in situations when wetland hydrology may be affected by dewatering, wet mining or excavations below the SHWT and when the borrow pit is a type 1 or type 3 as defined in the Skaggs Method for Determining Lateral Effects of a Borrow Pit on Adjacent Wedands2. The current status of hydrology in the area would be type 3. A type 1 pit would result temporarily as the pit is dewatered. The analysis of hydrology indicates the "Skaggs Method" would be required in this case. 6.1 "Skaggs Method" Results Inputs into the model were from site specific data and estimated data from the Soil Survey. The Step-by-step Guide for "Skaggs Method" Program was used when determining inputs. The deepest water level allowed in the model is 6 feet, which was used as the water level in the pit. Surface depressional storage in the wetland was set at 1 inch. The depth to the impermeable layer was set at 10 feet in the wetland area. The depth to the impermeable layer in the area pf the proposed pit was determined to be 20 feet. The Wetland "C" was 10 feet below the ground elevation at B4. This would place the depth of the impermeable layer at 10 feet below the surface in the area of the wetland. The wetland soil were best characterized by the Roanoke soil series. Since no on site hydraulic conductivity measurements were taken, the model inputs for a Roanoke soil were used. Drainable porosity was set at a conservative value of 0.035. The resulting lateral effect was calculated to be 133.6 feet (Appendix 1). 6.2 Effects on Wetland Hydrology The jurisdictional wetlandstwaters identified within 400 feet of the proposed borrow pit were Wetland "A", the Jurisdictional Waters/Pond and Wetland "C". The results of the "Skaggs Method" indicate a lateral effect of 133.6 feet. Wetlands "A" and "C" are greater than 134 feet from the proposed borrow pit at their closest point (Figure 4). Based on this information a reduced buffer should be allowed for wetlands "A" and "C". Due to close proximity of the jurisdictional waters/pond located east of the proposed pit, the hydrology issue must be addressed in more detail. One solution could be reduce the size of the pit to accommodate a minimum setback of at least 134 feet from the pond to the pit. At present the pond is located +/_79 feet from the proposed pit. Another solution may be to pump water into the pond as needed to maintain current water levels. Daily monitoring of the water levels would be needed to assure water levels are maintained at current levels. 7.0 Federally Protected Species ESS conducted an investigation of the disturbance areas (Borrow Pit and Haul Road) to determine if federally protected species may exist. Appendix 2 is a list from the US Fish and Wildlife Service of these species in Martin County. None of the species or habitat for the species listed were observed in the area of the proposed pit or haul road. NU119 -N -tom A review of FEMA maps indicate the area of the proposed pit or haul road are not located within a flood zone (Figure 6) 09 9.0 Conclusions Barnhill Contracting Company plans to excavate material from a proposed borrow pit located off Hwy 97 in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. An environmental evaluation was conducted by ESS to identify wetlands, streams, protected species and flood zones that may be impacted by the activities related to the proposed project. The evaluation revealed wetlands within 400 feet of the proposed borrow pit and haul road. After reviewing the proposed activities and applying pertinent rules and regulations, it appears the activity can be achieved without adverse effects to the wetland hydrology of wetland "A", wetland "C' or the potential wetland area located near Hwy 97. The "Skaggs Method" calculations indicate a lateral effect of 134 feet, which would affect only the jurisdictional waters located to the east of the site. Proper measures can be taken to insure hydrology of the pond remains as is during the dewatering phase of the operation. After completion of the excavation and dewatering of the pit, the water level in the pit will be allowed to return to pre - operation levels. Based on information provided by Barnhill Contracting Company, the site does lies adjacent to but not within any flood zone based in FEMA maps. No federally endangered species were observed in the area of the proposed pit or haul road.

T(S/A) = threatened due to similarity of appearance. A [axon that is threatened due to similarity of appearance with another listed species and is listed for its protection. Taxa listed as T(S/A) are not biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation. See below. EXP = experimental population. A [axon listed as experimental (either essential or nonessential). Experimental, nonessential populations of endangered species (e.g., red wolf) are treated as threatened species on public land, for consultation purposes, and as species proposed for listing on private land. P = proposed. Taxa proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened will be noted as "PE" or respectively. Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA): In the July 9, 2007 Federal Register( 72:37346-37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered, and removed (de- listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. 'this delisting took effect August 8,2007. After delisting, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) (16 U.S.C. 668-668d) becomes the primary law protecting bald eagles. The Eagle Act prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of "take" that includes "disturb". The USFWS has developed National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines to provide guidance to land managers, landowners, and others as to how to avoid disturbing bald eagles. For mor information, visit hup:/,'www.fws.gov/migrator)birds/baldeagle.hon Threatened due to similarity of appearanceMS/AN• In the November 4, 1997 Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog turtle (from New York south to Maryland) was listed as'l' (threatened), and the southern population (from Virginia south to Georgia) was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S/A) designation bans the collection and interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles from the southern population. The T(S/A) designation has no effect on land management activities by private landowners in North Carolina, part of the southern population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S/A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers the southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss. Definitions of Record Status: Current - the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years. Historic - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago. Obscure - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain. Incidental/migrant - the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat. Probable/potential - the species is considered likely to occur in this county based on the proximity of known records (in adjacent counties), the presence of potentially suitable habitat, or both. f2 511012.019 CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE ** ALL SOILS, MINERALS, ROCK, GRAVEL, AND WASTE OR OTHER MATERIAL BROUGHT - ONTO OR REMOVED FROM THIS SITE MUST BE HAULED TO OR FROM AN APPROVED PERMITTED FACILITY. 1.
