4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The project proposes to restore approximately 1,800 linear feet (LF) of existing stream along Fisher River and one of its Unnamed Tributaries (UT) within the Yadkin River Basin. A
restrictive covenant has been signed and recorded along project reaches that lie within Fisher River Park with riparian buffers extending approximately 50 feet from the top of bank.
Restoration will follow natural channel design approach and will include a mix of Priority Level I and 11.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Stream restoration activities will be conducted to stabilize streambanks, reduce the severe bank erosion along the reaches, and provide stable dimensions, pattern, and profile
throughout the project reaches. Instream work vd11 be designed to increase the diversity of riffle -pool sequences, improving aquatic habitat in the area. Priority I stream channel activities
will consist creating a new single thread meandering channel. Channel construction will occur off-line where applicable and the remnant stream channel will be partially to completely
filled. Priority 11 stream work will incorporate bankfull benches within some areas to allow storage of sediment and floodwaters and to reduce stream energy during out of bank flows.
These design measures will stabilize the stream banks throughout the project area. This approach, combined with the installation of appropriate riparian buffers will reduce sediment
and nutrient inputs into Fisher River and waters downstream.
Work will be conducted using track hoes (excavators), dump trucks, tractors W disk harrow, and other equipment typically used in restoration projects for minor grading and in -stream
structure installation.

To maintain accreditation, the levee owner or community isrequired to submit the data and documentation necessary to comply with Section 65.10 of the NFIP regulations.If the community or owner does not provide the necessary data and documentation or if the data and documentationprovided indicates the levee system does not comply with Section 65.10 requirements, FEMA will revise the floodhazard and risk information for this area to reflect de-accreditation of the levee system. To mitigate flood risk inresidual risk areas, property owners and residents are encouraged to consider flood insurance and floodproofingor other protective measures. For more information on flood insurance, interested parties should visit the FEMAWebsite at http://www.fema.gov/business/nfip/index.shtm.
LIMIT OF MODERATE WAVE ACTION NOTES TO USERS: For some coastal flooding zones the AE Zonecategory has been divided by a Limit of Moderate Wave Action (LiMWA). The LiMWA represents the approximatelandward limit of the 1.5-foot breaking wave. The effects of wave hazards between the VE Zone and the LiMWA(or between the shoreline and the LiMWA for areas where VE Zones are not identified) will be similar to, but lesssevere than those in the VE Zone.
COASTAL BARRIER RESOURCES SYSTEM (CBRS) NOTE
This map may include approximate boundaries of the CBRS for informational purposes only. Flood insurance is notavailable within CBRS areas for structures that are newly built or substantially improved on or after the date(s)indicated on the map.

This digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) was produced through a uniquecooperative partnership between the State of North Carolina and the FederalEmergency Management Agency (FEMA). The State of North Carolina hasimplemented a long term approach to floodplain management to decrease thecosts associated with flooding. This is demonstrated by the State's commitmentto map flood hazard areas at the local level. As a part of this effort, the State ofNorth Carolina has joined in a Cooperating Technical State agreement withFEMA to produce and maintain this digital FIRM.

RE: Fisher River Stream Restoration Project; 162563
Dear Kristi Suggs:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. These
results are presented in the attached ‘Documented Occurrences’ tables and map.
The attached ‘Potential Occurrences’ table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one-mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund
(CWMTF) easement, or an occurrence of a Federally-listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Rodney A. Butler at [e-mail] or 919.707.8603.
Sincerely,

There are no documented element occurrences (of medium to very high accuracy) that intersect with the project area. Please note, however, that although the NCNHP database
does not show records for rare species within the project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present; it may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The
use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if needed, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species. If rare
species are found, the NCNHP would appreciate receiving this information so that we may update our database.

Consultation Code: 04EN1000-2018-SLI-0205
Event Code: 04EN1000-2018-E-01125
Project Name: Fisher River Stream Restoration Project

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 attached species list 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. Although not required by
section 7, many agencies request species lists to start the informal consultation process and begin
their fulfillment of the requirements under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of
1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
This list, along with other helpful resources, is also available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) Asheville Field Office's (AFO) website: https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/
cntylist/nc_counties.html. The AFO website list includes “species of concern” species that could
potentially be placed on the federal list of threatened and endangered species in the future. Also
available are:

New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could require modifications of these lists.
Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act,
the accuracy of the species lists 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 or the AFO website (the AFO website dates each
county list with the day of the most recent update/change) 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 or by going to the AFO website.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a Biological
Evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12 and on our office's website
at https://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmls/project_review/assessment_guidance.html.
If a Federal agency (or their non-federal representative) determines, based on the Biological
Assessment or Biological Evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be
affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to
50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species, and
proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the
regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license
applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://
www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF.
Though the bald eagle is no longer protected under the Endangered Species Act, 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 additional consultation (see
https://www.fws.gov/southeast/our-services/permits/eagles/). Wind energy projects should follow
the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to
migratory birds (including bald and golden eagles) 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://
05/01/2018 Event Code: 04EN1000-2018-E-01125   3

http://www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/
towers/comtow.html.
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.

Project Summary
Consultation Code:04EN1000-2018-SLI-0205
Event Code:04EN1000-2018-E-01125
Project Name:Fisher River Stream Restoration Project
Project Type:STREAM / WATERBODY / CANALS / LEVEES / DIKES
Project Description:The project area is located in Surry County, North Carolina approximately
1.0 mile north of Dobson. The project is located on the Dobson, North
Carolina 7.5-minute topographic map from the United States Geological
Survey (USGS). The center of the project area is located at latitude 36.418
N and longitude -80.7169 W. The site is located on Fisher River and three
of its tributaries that drain from Fisher River Park and an adjacent farm.

The Fisher River Stream Restoration Project was funded by NC Clean
Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) in order to reduce sediment
and nutrient loading into Fisher River and downstream receiving waters.
Segments of this stream have been identified as incised, eroding, and no
longer connected to its floodplain. The project will involve the restoration
and enhancement of approximately 3,200 linear feet of stream along
Fisher River and three unnamed tributaries (UTs) to Fisher River. A
restrictive covenant will be implemented along project reaches that lie
within Fisher River Park with riparian buffers extending approximately 50
feet from the top of bank. The enclosed Project Site Map displays the
areas proposed for restoration/enhancement.

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 3 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
Fisheries , 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.

Migratory Birds
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act .
Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to
migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and consider
implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below.
1.The Migratory Birds Treaty Act of 1918.
2.The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940.
3.50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)
THERE ARE NO FWS MIGRATORY BIRDS OF CONCERN WITHIN THE VICINITY OF YOUR PROJECT
AREA.
Migratory Birds FAQ
Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts
to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize
impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly
important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in
the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very
helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding
in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures and/or
permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of
infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified
location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern
(BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian
Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding,
and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as
occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as
warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act
requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.

05/01/2018 Event Code: 04EN1000-2018-E-01125   2

Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your
project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list
of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the E-bird Explore Data Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data
provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing
collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets .
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information
becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and
how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me
about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my
project area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding,
wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab
of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of
interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your
migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your
project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds
elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1."BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern
throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2."BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation
Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
3."Non-BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on
your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non-eagles)
potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities
(e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made,
in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC
species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can
implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles,
please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
05/01/2018 Event Code: 04EN1000-2018-E-01125   3

For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species
and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the
Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides
birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird
model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical
Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use
throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this
information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of
birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for
identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ “What does IPaC
use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location”. Please be
aware this report provides the “probability of presence” of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the “no
data” indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey
effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you
know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement
conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,
should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ “Tell
me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds” at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE The following construction sequence shall be followed by the Contractor. 1. Prior to beginning any land disturbing activities, notification and approval must be granted from NCDEQ Division of Mineral and Land Resources, US Army Corp of Engineers, and NC Division of Water Resources. 2. The Contractor shall contact North Carolina “One Call” Center (1.800.632.4949) before any excavation. 3. The Contractor will mobilize equipment and materials to the site using the construction entrances (that are shown on the plans) into Fisher River Park. 4. The Contractor will utilize existing entrances, paths, and roads to the extent possible. The haul roads are shown on the plans. Any necessary stream crossings shall consist of timber mat crossings and be bordered by silt fence. 5. Contractor will store all equipment and materials in staging areas as shown on the plans. 6. Immediately upon completion of bank grading, the slope will be reseeded and matted with erosion control matting. 7. Structures within the Fisher River shall be installed in the wet, since the Fisher River is too large to effectively pump around. The contractor will work from the river banks as much as possible to eliminate any sediment entering the river. Work along UT1 will utilize a pump around operation. 8. Silt fence shall be placed between stockpiles and the existing channel. 9. Upon completion of each section of the channel repair, all disturbed floodplain areas including staging areas and haul roads, shall be seeded and covered with mulch. Trees shall be planted in accordance with the vegetation selection and the plans. Permanent seeding mixtures shall be applied as shown on the plans. Temporary seeding shall be applied in all disturbed areas and areas within the work area susceptible to erosion (i.e. disturbed ditch banks, steep slopes, and spoil areas). 10. Contractor shall not disturb stable sections of the channel. 11. All areas should be seeded and mulched before leaving the project reach. Remove temporary stream crossings and any in-stream temporary rock dams. All waste material must be removed from the project site. 12. The contractor shall plant woody vegetation and live stakes, according to planting details and specifications. They should complete the reforestation (bare root planting) phase of the project and apply permanent seeding at the appropriate time of the year. 13. The contractor shall ensure that the site is free of trash and leftover materials before moving on to a new section of channel. DocuSign Envelope ID: 780E88A5-CB18-4BBE-BBA7-414E1888A2C16/18/2018
