Dear Mr. Keim:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 0.7901 acres of wetland (0.4752 acres permanent impacts, 0.3149 acres
temporary impacts), 592 linear feet stream (300 linear feet permanent impacts, 292 linear feet temporary
impacts), 42,110 square feet (ft) of protected Zone 1 Neuse River basin riparian buffer and 29,980 square
feet (ft) of protected Zone 2 Neuse River basin riparian buffer as described in your application dated
March 17, 2006, and received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on March 17, 2006, for the
purpose of constructing the residential subdivision and accompanying utilities at the site. After reviewing
your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number(s) 3374 and 3402 (GC3374 and GC3402). The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide
Permit(s) NW 12 and NW39, respectively, when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
This letter shall also act as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian
buffers per 15A NCAC 213 .0233. This Certification replaces the Certification issued to you on May
16, 2006. In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or
local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment
Control, and Non -discharge regulations. Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed impacts
or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the
404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the property is sold,
the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions. If total fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of
wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A
NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached

2. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond
the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre -Construction Notification. All construction
activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion
control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality
standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing
the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in
order to protect surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control
measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices
shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects,
including contractor -owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures and
stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
4. Sediment and Erosion Control Measures
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum
extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that
the Division of Land Resources has released the project;
5. Protective Fencing
The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within these
boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning fencing

6. Culvert Installation
Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles
are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and
longitudinal profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Culverts shall
be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of
the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall
be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-
installed correctly.
Culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of the
stream up or down stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section
dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile) shall be maintained above and below locations of each
culvert.
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below
the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches,
and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow
low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures
including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
disequilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the
above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be
maintained if requested in writing by DWQ.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques
must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods. If rip -rap is
necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of
Water Quality.
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed
to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions.
Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been
completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the
401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. Please
send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation
along with the Certificate of Completion form.
7. Written Stormwater Management Plan (Final Plan Needed) Required For Each Phase
A final, written stormwater management plan (including a signed and notarized Operation and
Maintenance Agreement) for each phase of the entire project shall be submitted to the 401
Oversight and Express Permitting Unit (2321 Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, NC, 27604) and
the stormwater management plans shall be approved in writing by this Office before the impacts
for that particular phase may occur per Condition No. 4 in GC No. 3402. You have the option
of using the Express Review Program for expedited approval of these plans. If you propose to
use the Express Review Program, remember to include the appropriate fee with the plan. Site -
specific stormwater management shall be designed to remove 85% TSS according to the latest
version of DWQ's Stormwater Best Management Practices manual at a minimum. Additionally,
in watersheds within one mile and draining to 303(d) listed waters, as well as watersheds that are

Olde Towne, LLC
Page 4 of 6
June 30, 2006
classified as nutrient sensitive waters (NSW), water supply waters (WS), trout waters (Tr), high
quality waters (HQW), and outstanding resource waters (ORW), the Division shall require that
extended detention wetlands, bio-retention areas, and ponds followed by forested filter strips
(designed according to latest version of the NCDENR Stormwater Best Management Practices
Manual) be constructed as part of the stormwater management plan when a site -specific
stormwater management plan is required.
Also, the stormwater management plan (as approved by the Wetlands Unit) shall be implemented
before any permanent building or other structure is occupied at the subject site.
The structural stormwater practices as approved by the Wetlands Unit as well as drainage patterns
must be maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be
made without written authorization from the Division of Water Quality.
8. Diffuse Flow (No Review)
All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained as diffuse flow at
non -erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers such that it will not re -concentrate
before discharging into a stream as identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0233 (5). If this is not
possible, it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove
nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this Office.
Mitigation:
9. Compensatory Mitigation Using the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP)
Mitigation must be provided for the proposed impacts as specified in the table below. We
understand that you wish to make a payment to the Wetlands Restoration Fund administered by
the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) to meet this mitigation requirement. This has
been determined by the DWQ to be a suitable method to meet the mitigation requirement. Until
the EEP receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR — Ecosystem Enhancement
Program Office), no impacts specified in this Authorization Certificate shall occur. The EEP
should be contacted at [phone] if you have any questions concerning payment into a

such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent
excavation in flowing water.
Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles
are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and
longitudinal profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Culverts shall
be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of
the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall
be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-
installed correctly.
Culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of the
stream up or down stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section
dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile) shall be maintained above and below locations of each
culvert.
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below
the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches,
and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow
low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures
including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the
above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be
maintained if requested in writing by DWQ.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques
must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods. If rip -rap is
necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of
Water Quality.
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed
to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions.
Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been
completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the
401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. Please
send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation
along with the Certificate of Completion form.
10. Protective Fencing
The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within these
boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning fencing
(or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the
buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities;

Subject: Close -Out of the Olde Towne stream and wetland mitigation site, DWR Project
#06-0447 v.2
Dear Mr. Gainey:
This letter is in reference to the Olde Towne stream and wetland mitigation site. The project was
required by the June 2009 Settlement Agreement with the North Carolina Division of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) to resolve a previous Notice of Violation that
was issued for stream and wetland impacts on the above referenced site (USACE Action ID No.
200620287, NCDWQ Project No. 06-0447, NOV-2008-PC-0158 and NOC-2008-PC-0272). The
mitigation in the agreement was proposed to offset 0.4375 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, 803
linear feet of jurisdictional streams, and 36,710 square feet of Zone 1 Neuse River basin
protected riparian buffer and 27,840 square feet of Zone 2 Neuse River basin protected riparian
buffer. This mitigation was required as a condition of the Division of Water Resources' (DWR)
issuance of DWR# 06-0447v2.
On October 15, 2015, DWR met with David Gainey of Soil and Environmental Consultants
(S&EC) and Jean Gibby of the US Army Corps of Engineers (Raleigh office) to review this
mitigation site and the year five monitoring report prepared by S&EC dated February 2015. The
site inspection revealed a riparian buffer that was starting to progress (fill in with both
herbaceous and woody species of decent size). The wetland portion showed good vegetation
(size and density) and evidence of wetland hydrology. While many of the structures in the small
stream were not visible the reach was stable. By far the most benefit of the project was that it
will likely buffer the adjacent high quality wetland from future impacts (hopefully). Based on
the review of the information provided in the monitoring report and the site inspection, the DWR
has determined that all of the stream and wetland mitigation requirements of DWR# 06-0447v2
have been met and no further monitoring is required.
If you need to discuss anything further, please contact me at 919-807-6476.

(1) E = Ephemeral, I = Intermittent, P = Perennial, NP = Not Present
(2) Refers to State riparian buffer rules only. Stream, wetland, or pond impacts are still subject to applicable water quality standards and permitting requirements.
Explanation: The stream(s)/pond(s) listed above has been located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey
of Wake County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a 1: 24,000 scale.
Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be an intermittent stream, perennial stream, a
pond connected to a stream feature, or the feature is determined not to be present. Stream features that are checked
"Subject" have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify it to be subject to the buffer
rules. There may be other streams located on the property that do not show up on the maps referenced above and are
therefore not subject to the buffer rules. However, if the stream features are present on the tract they are subject to
all other applicable North Carolina stream standards and permitting requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 0213,
and may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers.
This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected
parties that dispute a determination made by the DWR may request a determination by the Director. An
appeal request must be made within sixty (60) days of date of this letter. A request for a determination by the
Director shall be referred to the Director in writing. If sending via US Postal Service. c/o Karen Higgins;
DWR — 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit; 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617. If sending via
delivery service (UPS, FedEx, etc.): Karen Higgins; DWR — 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit; 512 N. Salisbury
Street; Raleigh, NC 27604.
This determination is final and binding unless, as detailed above, an appeal is requested within sixty (60)
days.
This project may require a Section 404/401 Permit for the proposed activity. Any inquiries should be
directed to the US Army Corp of Engineers (Raleigh Regulatory Field Office) at (919)-554-4884.
If you have questions regarding this determination, please feel free to contact Gary Kreiser at [phone].

Evidence of stressors affecting the assessment area (may not be within the assessment area)
Please circle and/or make note on the last page if evidence of stressors is apparent. Consider departure from reference, if appropriate, in
recent past (for instance, within 10 years). Noteworthy stressors include, but are not limited to the following.
• Hydrological modifications (examples: ditches, dams, beaver dams, dikes, berms, ponds, etc.)
• Surface and sub -surface discharges into the wetland (examples: discharges containing obvious pollutants, presence of nearby septic
tanks, underground storage tanks (USTs), hog lagoons, etc.)
• Signs of vegetation stress (examples: vegetation mortality, insect damage, disease, storm damage, salt intrusion, etc.)
• Habitat/plant community alteration (examples: mowing, clear -cutting, exotics, etc.)
Is the assessment area intensively managed? ❑ Yes ® No
Regulatory Considerations - Were regulatory considerations evaluated? ®Yes ❑No If Yes, check all that apply to the assessment area.
❑ Anadromous fish
❑ Federally protected species or State endangered or threatened species

❑ Designated NCNHP reference community
❑ Abuts a 303(d)-listed stream or a tributary to a 303(d)-listed stream
What type of natural stream is associated with the wetland, if any? (check all that apply)
❑ Blackwater
® Brownwater
❑ Tidal (if tidal, check one of the following boxes) ❑ Lunar ❑ Wind ❑ Both
Is the assessment area on a coastal island? ❑ Yes ® No
Is the assessment area's surface water storage capacity or duration substantially altered by beaver? ❑ Yes ® No
Does the assessment area experience overbank flooding during normal rainfall conditions? ® Yes ❑ No
Ground Surface Condition/Vegetation Condition — assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider alteration to the ground surface (GS) in the assessment area and vegetation structure (VS) in the
assessment area. Compare to reference wetland if applicable (see User Manual). If a reference is not applicable, then rate the assessment
area based on evidence an effect.
GS VS
®A ®A Not severely altered
❑B ❑B Severely altered over a majority of the assessment area (ground surface alteration examples: vehicle tracks, excessive
sedimentation, fire -plow lanes, skidder tracks, bedding, fill, soil compaction, obvious pollutants) (vegetation structure
alteration examples: mechanical disturbance, herbicides, salt intrusion [where appropriate], exotic species, grazing, less
diversity [if appropriate], hydrologic alteration)
Surface and Sub -Surface Storage Capacity and Duration — assessment area condition metric
Check a box in each column. Consider surface storage capacity and duration (Surf) and sub -surface storage capacity and duration (Sub).
Consider both increase and decrease in hydrology. A ditch <_ 1 foot deep is considered to affect surface water only, while a ditch > 1 foot
deep is expected to affect both surface and sub -surface water. Consider tidal flooding regime, if applicable.
Surf Sub
®A ®A Water storage capacity and duration are not altered.
❑B ❑B Water storage capacity or duration are altered, but not substantially (typically, not sufficient to change vegetation).
❑C ❑C Water storage capacity or duration are substantially altered (typically, alteration sufficient to result in vegetation change)
(examples: draining, flooding, soil compaction, filling, excessive sedimentation, underground utility lines).
3. Water Storage/Surface Relief — assessment area/wetland type condition metric (skip for all marshes)
Check a box in each column. Select the appropriate storage for the assessment area (AA) and the wetland type (WT).

Stream Realignment Monitoring Plan

'' MCADAMS
MONITORING PLAN
MONITORING PLAN > OLDE TOWNE
The monitoring plan to evaluate the success of the Site is based the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Stream
Mitigation Guidelines (2016) and the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) Monitoring
Requirements and Performance Standards for Stream and/or Wetland Mitigation (November, 2011). Monitoring of the
Site will occur for one (1) full year, and then after two (2) bankfull events. A monitoring report will be generated by for
each monitoring year documenting the activities at the Site.
STREAM MONITORING
Stream geometry will be considered successful if the geometry, profile, and sinuosity are stable or reach a dynamic
equilibrium. It is expected that there will be minimal changes in the designed cross sections, profile, and/or substrate
composition. Changes that may occur during the monitoring period will be evaluated to determine if they represent a
movement toward a more unstable condition (e.g. down cutting, or bank erosion) or are minor changes that represent
an increase in stability (e.g. settling, vegetative changes, coarsening of bed material, etc.). Deviation from the design
ratios will not necessarily denote failure as it is possible to maintain stability and not stay within the design geometry.
BANKFULL EVENTS
The occurrence of bankfull events within the monitoring period will be documented using a crest gage and photographs.
A crest gage will be installed which will record the highest watermark between site visits. The crest gage will be checked
each time there is a site visit to determine if a bankfull event has occurred. Photographs will be used to document the
occurrences of debris lines and sediment deposition on the floodplain during monitoring site visits. The monitoring
period must cover at least three (3) bankfull events.
CROSS SECTIONS
A total of two (2) cross sections will be installed after construction of the Site and will be surveyed as part of the As -
built survey, one (1) year after construction, and then after two (2) bankfull events. Each cross section will be marked
on both banks with permanent pins/monuments to establish the exact transect used. A common benchmark will be
used for the cross sections and it will be consistently used to facilitate easy comparison of year to year data. The cross-
section survey will include points measured at all breaks in slope, including top of bank, bankfull, inner berm, edge of
water, and thalweg, if the features are present. There will be one (1) riffle cross section and one (1) pool cross section.
Pebble counts shall be completed at the riffle cross section. Photographs shall be taken at each cross section with
photographs looking up and downstream and one photograph facing each bank.
VISUAL MONITORING
Visual monitoring shall take place along the entire stream reach twice annually during the monitoring period tc
document any lateral movement, structure failure, aggradation/degradation, invasive species, headcuts, or beaver
activity. Visual monitoring will also be required in the buffer to document any excessive mortality, low stem density,
encroachments, or invasive species.
SUCCESS CRITERIA
Success criteria will determine if the project is meeting its prescribed goals for the project. A determination will be
made regarding the success of the project following the collection and evaluation of ecological and physical monitoring
data, photographs, site observations, and the performance of the streams during storm events. Monitoring components
that will be evaluated include vegetation survival, channel bed and bank stability, and in -stream structure performance.
creating experiences through experience 3430 Toringdon Way, Suite 110, Charlotte, NC 28277 / 704. 527. 0800

'J MCADAMS MONITORING PLAN > OLDE TOWNE
STREAM SUCCESS CRITERIA
Channel stability will be reflected in the surveyed permanent cross sections, evaluation of bank stability and cover,
evaluation of in -stream structure performance and to a lesser degree pebble counts compared to the as -built and any
previously collected monitoring data. The general trend should reflect a stable or slightly decreasing riffle cross sectional
area whereas pools may increase and yet be considered relatively stable. Normally the constructed channel will adjust
(especially in a sand dominated bed) but it will need to function without significant degradation (bed scour), aggradation
(mid -channel bars), or bank erosion.
The Bank Height Ratio (BHR) as determined by cross section surveys, shall not exceed 1.2 and the Entrenchment Ratio
shall be no less than 2.2 within the restored reaches. The stream shall remain stable over the first year, through two
bankfull events, as indicated by visual surveys and cross sections.
VEGETATIVE SUCCESS CRITERIA
Vegetative success criteria will be based on the visual monitoring conducted twice annually. If there are no significant
bare areas or areas of dead vegetation at the end of the monitoring period, the project will be considered successful. If
any bare areas or areas of dead vegetation are noted during any of the visual inspections, they will be addressed with
supplemental planting at that time.

Project Name: Olde Towne
Subject: Updated list of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed
project location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
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

01/03/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-00970
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
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.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/
comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
of this office at [e-mail].

Jennifer,
Good morning. It looks like there is lots of disturbed area on this site. Do you know if all of it was surveyed for sumac
or just the right of ways. There is a known population very near by that Dale, our botanist, visited in the last week or
so.

RE: Protected Species Assessment
Olde Towne
Raleigh, Wake County, NC
To Whom it May Concern:
PROTECTED SPECIES ASSESSMENT > HLE-18020
McAdams conducted a protected species assessment for the proposed Olde Towne site in support of an anticipated
application for a Section 404 Clean Water Act permit. The 515-acre site lies on the north side of Rock Quarry Road
between S. New Hope Road and Barwell Road in southeast Raleigh, North Carolina. The proposed project is master
planned, high -density residential community with the associated amenities and infrastructure including greenways.
Figure 1 depicts the location of the project study area on the US Geological Survey (USGS) Garner and Raleigh East,
NC 7.5-minute quadrangle topographic maps. Figure 2 shows the location of the project study area on the Web Soil
Survey map. Udorthents loamy, 0 to 25 percent slopes map unit occupies much of the study area. The site was
partially developed for a planned residential golf community; however, the project was abandoned after 2009
before any structures or roads were constructed. Alterations to the site that remain include areas graded for lots
and roads, installed and uninstalled sewer and stormwater pipes, stormwater control facilities, tree protection
fencing, sediment and erosion control fencing, and two 48-inch bottomless arch culverts. The previously disturbed
areas across the site now primarily consist of early successional herbaceous vegetation mixed with stands of young
pines. The northern project area boundary contains a forested floodplain along Walnut Creek. The undisturbed
areas in the northeast portion of the project area are forested with mature hardwoods. The existing site conditions
are shown on the attached Aerial Map (Figure 3) and Jurisdictional and Isolated Waters Delineation Map (Figure 4).
A preliminary concept sketch of the proposed project is attached to show the potential impacts to streams and
wetlands that may result from the project (Figure 5). Please note that since this plan was developed, the plan for a
greenway along Walnut Creek has been changed to a multi -use path along the thoroughfare through the site to
avoid impacts to the wetlands and riparian buffer along Walnut Creek. The new greenway plan is shown on the
attached Exhibit B.
On July 12, 2019, McAdams used the US Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC)
website to obtain a list of threatened and endangered species that may occur in the proposed project location and/or
may be affected by the proposed project. This process generates an Official Species List that is summarized in Table
1. Critical Habitat was not identified within one mile of the project area. A list of natural heritage resources was
obtained from the NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on August 14, 2019. Thirty-nine managed area records are

species element occurrences were documented within one mile of the project area. Two natural areas are
documented within one mile of the project study area.

Information regarding the appearance and habitat for each species identified were compiled. Before beginning a
field survey for the protected plant species that may occur within the project study area, McAdams staff visited the
North Carolina Botanical Gardens to visit populations of Michaux's sumac to help establish the most appropriate
search image for these species. McAdams staff also visited a population of Michaux's sumac near the intersection of
Barwell Road and Barrington Drive on August 8, 2019. McAdams staff evaluated the site for potential protected
species habitat on August 15, 2019 and August 21, 2019. Photographs taken during the field evaluations are
provided in Appendix A. Descriptions of protected species and their habitats and biological opinions for each species
are provided below.
Red -cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis) — Endangered
Biological Opinion: No Effect
"Description: The red -cockaded woodpecker (RCW) is a small bird measuring about 7 inches in length. Identifiable by
its white cheek patch and black and white barred back, the males have a few red feathers, or "cockade". These red
feathers usually remain hidden underneath black feathers between the black crown and white cheek patch unless
the male is disturbed or excited. Female RCWs lack the red cockade. Juvenile males have a red 'patch' in the center
of their black crown. This patch disappears during the fall of their first year at which time their 'red -cockades'
appear.
"Habitat: Red -cockaded woodpecker habitat includes forests with trees old enough for roosting, generally at least
60-120 years old, depending on species of pine. The most prominent adaptation of RCWs is their use of living pines
for cavity excavation.
creating experiences through experience Page 2 of 8

�1 MCADAMS
PROTECTED SPECIES ASSESSMENT > HLE-18020
"For nesting and roosting habitat, red -cockaded woodpeckers need open stands of pine containing trees 60 years
old and older. RCWs need live, large older pines in which to excavate their cavities. Longleaf pines (Pinus polustris)
are preferred, but other species of southern pine are also acceptable. Dense stands (stands that are primarily
hardwoods, or that have a dense hardwood understory) are avoided. Foraging habitat is provided in pine and pine
hardwood stands 30 years old or older with foraging preference for pine trees 10 inches or larger in diameter. In
good, moderately -stocked, pine habitat, sufficient foraging substrate can be provided on 80 to 125 acres.
"Roosting cavities are excavated in living pines, and usually in those which are infected with a fungus known as red -
heart disease. The aggregate of cavity trees is called a cluster and may include 1 to 20 or more cavity trees on 3 to
60 acres. The average cluster is about 10 acres. Completed cavities that are being actively used have numerous,
small resin wells which exude sap. The birds keep the sap flowing as a cavity defense mechanism against rat snakes
and other tree climbing predators.
"Hardwood midstory encroachment results in cluster abandonment; therefore, it is critical that hardwood midstory
be controlled. Prescribed burning is the most efficient and ecologically beneficial method to accomplish hardwood
midstory control." (USFWS 2011)
The project area lacks mature pine stands and thus does not contain suitable habitat for the red -cockaded
woodpecker. Additionally, the NCNHP report indicates no known occurrences of this species within 1.0 mile of the
study area.
Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi) — Proposed Threatened
Biological Opinion: May affect, not likely to adversely affect
Description: "The Neuse River waterdog (Necturus lewisi) is a permanently aquatic salamander. It can grow up to 11
inches long. It has a reddish brown body with an irregular pattern of large blue or black spots. The waterdog has a
laterally compressed tail the same coloration as the body; however, the belly is typically a dull brown or gray color
with spots similar to those seen elsewhere on the body. Adult Neuse River Waterdogs have elongated heads with
squared -off noses, cylindrical trunks, and tails that are laterally compressed and ridged. Three dark -red, bushy gills
project from either side of the head and a dark line runs through the eye. The skin is smooth, slimy and a light rusty
brown color, with the belly being a paler brown or grayish. There are dark brown or blackish spots throughout the
surface that are smaller on the underside. The limbs are rather small, and the front and hind feet have four toes
each (unlike most salamanders, which have five toes on each back foot)." (USFWS 2019)
Habitat: "The Neuse River waterdog specific habitat characteristics include low to moderate gradient streams and
low current velocity. It is a fully aquatic salamander, never leaving the water. It lacks lungs, getting oxygen from the
water via external gills and needs clean, flowing water with high dissolved oxygen concentrations. The species dwells
in streams wider than 15 meters but has been found in smaller creeks.
"The species thrives in cold water, and is much more active in colder seasons and when water is near -freezing.
Researchers have documented activity decreasing after the water temperature rises above 182C. waterdogs spend
about 85% of the time under large granite rocks or in burrows. In early spring they move into leaf beds over mud

banks on the low -energy sides of riffles and where leaves were intact or only slightly decomposed and many small
critters are in the leaf litter." (USFWS 2019)
The NCNHP report indicates an occurrence of this species within 1.0 mile of the study area from 1987. Walnut Creek
contains suitable habitat for this species; however, the proposed project will not directly impact Walnut Creek.
Although the preliminary concept sketch (Figure 5) shows a greenway along the floodplain of Walnut Creek, this
greenway alignment has been eliminated from the project to avoid impacts to the wetland, floodplain and buffer of
Walnut Creek. Areas of the project that would be impacted by unavoidable road crossings lack medium to large,
swift -flowing perennial streams and thus, do not contain suitable habitat for the Neuse River waterdog.
Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus) — Proposed Endangered
Biological Opinion: May affect, not likely to adversely affect
Description: "The Carolina madtom is a small catfish, reaching a maximum length of nearly five inches. When
compared to other madtoms, the Carolina madtom has a short, chunky body and a distinct color pattern. Three dark
saddles along its back connect a wide, black stripe along its side extending from its snout to the base of its tail. The
adipose fin has a dark blotch that does not quite reach the fin's edge, giving the impression of a fourth saddle.
Yellowish to tan blotches space the saddles, while the rest of the fish is tan. The belly is un-speckled, and the tail has
crescent -shaped brown bands near its edge and center. Its pectoral spines have well-defined serrated (saw -like)
projections along both margins. Stinging spines in its pectoral fins, earn this fish the "furiosus" title that is part of its
scientific name." (USFWS 2019)
Habitat: "The species occurs in riffles, runs, and pools in medium to large streams and rivers. Ideally, it inhabits fresh
waters with continuous, year-round flow and moderate gradient in both the Piedmont and Coastal Plain
physiographic regions. Optimal substrate for the Carolina madtom is predominantly silt -free, stable, gravel and
cobble bottom habitat, and it must have cover for nest sites, including under rocks, bark, relic mussel shells, and
even cans and bottles." (USFWS 2019)
Walnut Creek contains suitable habitat for this species; however, the proposed project will not directly impact
Walnut Creek. Although the preliminary concept sketch (Figure 5) shows a greenway along the floodplain of Walnut
Creek, this greenway alignment has been eliminated from the project to avoid impacts to the wetland, floodplain
and buffer of Walnut Creek. Areas of the project that would be impacted by unavoidable road crossings lack medium
to large, swift -flowing perennial streams and thus, do not contain suitable habitat for the Carolina madtom.
Additionally, the NCNHP report indicates no known occurrences of this species within 1.0 mile of the study area.
Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni) — Proposed Threatened
Biological Opinion: May affect, not likely to adversely affect
"Appearance: The shell of the Atlantic pigtoe is a chunky, rhombus shape, like that of a pig's hoof/toe. There is a
distinct posterior ridge. The outer surface of the shell is yellow to dark brown and parchment -like, while the inner
layer is iridescent blue to salmon, white, or orange. Although larger specimens exist, the Atlantic pigtoe rarely
exceeds 2 inches in length. Young individuals may have greenish rays across the entire shell surface. When collected
fresh, the interior surface (nacre) in the shell tends to be salmon colored and sometimes iridescent. Atlantic pigtoe

PROTECTED SPECIES ASSESSMENT > HLE-18020
has interlocking hinge "teeth" on the inside of the shell to help keep the two valves in proper alignment." (USFWS
2018)
"Habitat: The preferred habitat of the Atlantic pigtoe is coarse sand and gravel, and rarely in silt and detritus.
Historically, the best populations existed in small creeks to larger rivers with excellent water quality, where flows
were sufficient to maintain clean, silt -free substrates." (USFWS 2018)
The NCNHP report indicates an occurrence of this species within 1.0 mile of the study area from 1951. Walnut Creek
contains suitable habitat for the Atlantic pigtoe. McAdams staff observed sand substrate and swift flow throughout
Walnut Creek, and mussel shells were observed in and around Walnut Creek throughout its extent within the study
site. However, the proposed project will not directly impact Walnut Creek. The preliminary concept sketch (Figure 5)
shows a greenway along the floodplain of Walnut Creek. The connection of the greenway across Walnut Creek has
been eliminated from the project to avoid impacts to the buffer of Walnut Creek. Areas of the project that would be
impacted lack small creeks to large rivers with coarse sand and gravel and thus do not contain suitable habitat for
the Atlantic pigtoe.
Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) — Endangered
Biological Opinion: May affect, not likely to adversely affect
"Description: The dwarf wedgemussel is a small bivalve, rarely exceeding 45 mm in length. Clean young shells are
usually greenish -brown with green rays. As the animal ages, the shell color becomes obscured by diatoms or mineral
deposits and appears black or brown. The shell is thin but does thicken somewhat with age, especially toward the
anterior end. The anterior end is rounded while the posterior end is angular forming a point near the posterio-
ventral margin. The ventral margin is only slightly curved. The nacre is bluish -white, appearing whiter in the thicker
anterior end. The most distinctive shell character of the dwarf wedgemussel is the arrangement of the lateral teeth.
There are two lateral teeth in the right valve and one in the left valve. The typical arrangement for most freshwater
mussel species consists of two lateral teeth in the left valve and one in the right valve. The incurrent and excurrent
apertures and their associated papillae are usually white. The foot and other organs are also white. Maximum age
for the dwarf wedgemussel is around twelve years. The species is a bradytictic breeder, meaning that females
become gravid in the early fall and glochidia are released by mid -spring. The tessellated darter (Etheostoma
olmstedi), johnny darter (Etheostoma nigrum), and mottled sulpin (Cottus bairdi) have been identified as hosts for
the dwarf wedgemussel. An anadromous fish may also serve as a host species but this has not been documented for
the dwarf wedgemussel in the southern portion of its range.
"Habitat: The dwarf wedgemussel appears to be a generalist in terms of its preference for stream size, substrate and
flow conditions — it inhabits small streams less than five meters wide to large rivers more than 100 meters wide; it is
found in a variety of substrate types including clay, sand, gravel and pebble, and sometimes in silt depositional areas
near banks; and it usually inhabits hydrologically stable areas, including very shallow water along streambanks and
under root mats, but it has also been found at depths of 25 feet in the Connecticut River. Dwarf wedgemussels are
often patchily distributed in rivers." (USFWS 2017)
The NCNHP report indicates an occurrence of this species within 1.0 mile of the study area. Walnut Creek contains
suitable habitat for the dwarf wedgemussel. McAdams staff observed sand substrate and swift flow throughout

Walnut Creek, and mussel shells were observed in and around Walnut Creek throughout its extent within the study
site. However, the proposed project will not directly impact Walnut Creek. Although the preliminary concept sketch
(Figure 5) shows a greenway along the floodplain of Walnut Creek, this greenway alignment has been eliminated
from the project to avoid impacts to the wetland, floodplain and buffer of Walnut Creek. Areas of the project that
would be impacted by unavoidable road crossings include small streams with low base flow.
Michaux's Sumac (Rhus mkhauxii) — Endangered
Biological Opinion: May affect, not likely to adversely affect
"Description: Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy shrub, with erect stems from one to three feet in
height. The compound leaves contain evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate leaflets. Most plants are
unisexual; however, more recent observations have revealed plants with both male and female flowers on one
plant. The flowers are small, borne in a terminal, erect, dense cluster, and colored greenish yellow to white.
Flowering usually occurs from June to July, while the fruit, a red drupe, is produced through the months of August to
October." (USFWS 2017a)
"Habitat: Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils. Apparently, this
plant survives best in areas where some form of disturbance has provided an open area" (USFWS 2017b). Although
the USFWS website states that Michaux's sumac grows in open woods in association with basic soils, the species
recovery plan states that the species grows in "open woods on acidic soils with low cation exchange capacity"
(USFWS 1993).
The NCNHP report indicates an occurrence of this species within 1.0 mile of the study area from 2017. Unpaved
vehicle paths, field edges and power line easements within the project study area contain suitable habitat for
Michaux's sumac. McAdams staff conducted a field survey of the suitable habitat as described above during the
optimal survey window for this species and did not observe Michaux's sumac within the project area.
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
Description: "Distinguished by a white head and white tail feathers, bald eagles are powerful, brown birds that may
weigh 14 pounds and have a wingspan of 8 feet. Male eagles are smaller, weighing as much as 10 pounds and have a
wingspan of 6 feet."
Habitat: "Bald eagles require a good food base, perching areas, and nesting sites. Their habitat includes estuaries,
large lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and some seacoasts." (USFWS 2007a) Bald eagles build large nests (4 to 6 feet in
diameter and larger) in the tops of tall trees and snags that include perches with a clear view of water. (USFWS
2007b)
Although a pond is located within the project area, the NCNHP report did not list eagle nests within 1.0 mile of the
project area. McAdams did not observe bald eagles or nests within the project area.
creating experiences through experience Page 6 of 8

�1 MCADAMS PROTECTED SPECIES ASSESSMENT > HLE-18020
Conclusions
McAdams has concluded that suitable habitat for certain federally protected species was present within the project
area. Michaux's sumac was not observed during field surveys conducted by McAdams resulting in a biological
opinion of "may affect, not likely to adversely affect". A biological opinion of "no effect" was determined for the red -
cockaded woodpecker due to the lack of suitable habitat. A biological opinion of "may affect, not likely to adversely
affect" was determined for the Neuse River waterdog, Carolina madtom, Atlantic pigtoe, and dwarf wedgemussel
based on the project's avoidance of Walnut Creek and its associated wetlands, floodplain and riparian buffer.

1. THIS PLAN IS CONCEPTUAL IN NATURE AND IS
SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
2. THE PLAN IS BASED ON READILY AVAILABLE
BASE INFORMATION. DETAILED SITE ANALYSIS,
SITE DESIGN AND FIELD VERIFICATIONS WILL
BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH A MORE
DEFINITIVE DEVELOPMENT YIELD.
3. THIS CONCEPT PLAN WAS CREATED PRIOR TO THE
FILING OF THE REZONING CASE. ACCORDINGLY,
SEVERAL ELEMENTS HAVE CHANGED.
• THE PRELIMINARY ROAD DEPICTED OFF OF S.
NEW HOPE ROAD WILL SHIFT SOUTH TO THE
COMMERCIAL FLAG LOTS.
• CONCEPT SKETCH DEPICTS LOTTING INTO
PORTION OF 17 ACRE LAND DONATION.
• THE CITY OF RALEIGH HAS SINCE INDICATED THAT
THEY WILL NOT ALLOW FRONT LOADED UNITS ON
THE PRIMARY COLLECTOR ROAD. HOWEVER, REAR
LOADED UNITS WOULD BE ALLOWED.
• CONCEPT PLAN DEPICTS LOTTING ON THE +/-
21 AC BROWN PARCEL WHICH IS NO LONGER

Consultation Code: 04EN2000-2019-SLI-1260
Event Code: 04EN2000-2019-E-02851
Project Name: Olde Towne
July 12, 2019
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 etseq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
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
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.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws. og v/mi rgratorvbirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/
comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
of this office at [e-mail].

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 6 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheriesl, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

Re: Olde Towne Residential Subdivision, Rock Quarry Road & South New Hope Road, Raleigh,
Wake County, ER 19-2514
Dear Ms. Burdette:
Thank you for your August 2, 2019, letter concerning the above -referenced project. We have reviewed the
materials provided and offer the following comments.
There are no recorded archaeological sites located within the proposed project area. However, there is a high
probability for pre -colonial American Indian sites to be present given the property's proximity to Walnut
Creek. The 1914 Wake County Soil Survey map also shows four structures in the proposed project area, that
may contain associated archaeological remains.
Prior to any ground disturbing activities within the project area, we recommend a comprehensive
archaeological survey be conducted by an experienced archaeologist. The purpose of this survey will be to
identify and evaluate the significance of archaeological sites and cemeteries that may be damaged or
destroyed by the proposed project.
Please note that our office now requests consultation with the Office of State Archaeology Review
Archaeologist to discuss appropriate field methodologies prior to the archaeological field investigation. A list
of archaeological consultants who have conducted or expressed an interest in contract work in North
Carolina is available at https://files.nc.gov/dncr-arch/Consultants-List-2019-08-columns.i2df. The
archaeologists listed, or any other experienced archaeologist, may be contacted to conduct the recommended
survey.
One paper and one digital copy of all resulting archaeological reports, as well as one digital copy of the North
Carolina site form for each site recorded, should be forwarded to the Office of State Archaeology through
this office for review and comment as soon as they are available and in advance of any construction or
ground disturbance activities.
We have determined that the project as proposed will not have an effect on any historic structures.
Location: 109 East Jones Street, Raleigh NC 27601 Mailing Address: 4617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh NC 27699-4617 Telephone/Fax: [phone]-6599

The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
contact Renee Gledhill -Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-814-6579 or
environmental.reviewgncdcr.gov. In all future communication concerning this project, please cite the above
referenced tracking number.
Sincerely,
� ��U&D.

Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer
