4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
Most of the property is forested with a mix of hardwoods and pines. The Beaverdam Creek floodplain runs along the northern property boundary. Six acres in the northeast portion of
the property are currently cropland and about 17 acres on the west side was under agricultural production until about 10 years ago and now consists of scrub -shrub vegetation.
Additionally, there is a sanitary sewer easement that runs east -west just south of the Beaverdam Creek floodplain. Other land use in the vicinity includes residential, agricultural and
forested land.
Phase 1 of the Shepard's Park residential development lies immediately southwest of the Phase 2 project area. No USACE permits or DWR certifications were issued for Phase 1.
However, one jurisdictional pond (Pond P2) was filled in Phase 1. In this application, we are requesting after -the -fact certification of this impact. This impact is depicted on page 8 of the
impact figure set.
A 401 Water Quality Certification application was submitted to DWR for Phase 2 on September 5, 2007 (DWR# 07-1512). DWR requested additional information on September 7, 2007.
DWR withdrew the application on December 22, 2008 because the additional information was not provided. These documents are attached.

The purpose of the project is to develop the property with the necessary infrastructure to provide suitable building areas for high density, single-family residential construction to serve
the current and future residents of Zebulon.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The proposed project is phase 2 of a phased residential development. The second phase is located northeast of the first phase, which is currently under construction. The proposed
Phase 2 development includes approArnately 178 single family units and associated driveways, parking areas, stormwater management facilities, amenity areas and utilities. The
proposed project includes three road crossings, one greenway trail crossing, and one proposed sanitary sewer line that will result in impacts to jurisdictional stream and wetlands and
Neuse buffers. The attached Overall Impact Exhibit depicts the overall Phase 2 project plan view, and Insets 1-5 show details of the proposed impact areas. Additionally, this application
includes one after -the -fact impact in Phase 1. Ajurisdictional pond was filled, but was not permitted as part of Phase 1. The completed impact to Pond 2 in Phase 1 is shown on page 8
of the Impact Exhibits attachment. We are requesting after -the -fact authorization for this impact. Heavy equipment typical for road construction, utility installation and grading will be used
to construct the proposed project such as track hoes, bulldozers, dump trucks and graders.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
10.25MB
u
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Impact to stream, wetlands and Neuse buffers were minimized to the mapmum eMent practicable. Retaining walls were used in several places to avoid
impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and Neuse buffers. Two boardwalk crossings on the proposed greenway trail have be utilized to avoid impacts to
stream features S3, S2B, associated %use buffers and wetland feature W2. The greenway will result in two small wetland impacts (W4 & W5; see
Impact Areas 4 & 5). These impacts were minimized by routing the greenway between wetland features W1 and W4, thus only impacting minimal
amounts of the edges of each wetland, rather than passing the trail through a wetland, which would have cause a greater impact and divided one of
wetlands. Three culvert road crossings of streams, buffers and wetlands were unavoidable in order to provide access to all portions of the site (Impact
Areas 1, 2 & 3). These impacts were minimized by installing headwalls at both ends of all three culverts, which allowed the grading necessary for
installation to be reduced. The culvert shown in Impact Area 1 will be installed flush with the epsting grade in order to maintain the hydrologic
connection between the un-impacted portions of wetland W6. The culverts shown in Impact Areas 2 and 3 will be buried 1 foot below the eAsting
stream grade in order to provide for aquatic life passage. Additionally, the riprap dissipator pads at the downstream ends of these culverts will be
installed flush with the existing grade. The cross sections provided for Impact Areas 2 and 3 show howthe culverts will be installed to provide for
aquatic life passage. The length of the Neuse buffer impacts for the road crossings in Impact Areas 2 and 3 are each less than 150 feet long, and thus
do not require mitigation. Buffer impact area B3 (Impact Area 3) is due to grading for installation of Moonlit Place (a road impact other than a crossing)
and requires buffer mitigation. A temporary Zone 2 buffer impact for a sanitary sewer installation (Impact Area 5) does not require mitigation.
In addition to the impacts for Phase 2, this application includes one open water impact from Phase 1. The impact to pond P2 depicted on page 8 of the
impact map sheet set was completed during construction of Phase 1, but was not permitted. We are requesting after -the -fact approval for this impact.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
A Sediment and Erosion Control Plan for the project will be developed and approved by the Town of Morrisville, and the project will comply with the
supplementary NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit (NCG010000).

indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in-
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant’s responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy
of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in-lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the
impact amounts shown below.

RE: Protected Species Assessment
Shepard’s Park II
Zebulon, Wake County, NC

To Whom it May Concern:

McAdams conducted a protected species assessment for the proposed Shepard’s Park II project in support of an
anticipated application for a Section 404 Clean Water Act permit. The 80-acre project area is located on the north
side of Old Bunn Road and east of Shepard School Road in Zebulon, Wake County, North Carolina. The proposed
second phase of the Shepard’s Park development is located to the north of the first phase. The proposed Phase II
residential development will include approximately 178 single family units and associated driveways, parking areas,
stormwater management facilities, amenity areas and utilities. Figure 1 depicts the location of the project study
area on the US Geological Survey (USGS) Zebulon, NC 7.5-minute quadrangle topographic map.

Rawlings-Rion complex and Chewacla and Wehadkee soils map units occupy much of the study area. Figure 2 shows
the location of the project study area on the Web Soil Survey map. Most of the property is forested with a mix of
hardwoods and pines. Six acres in the northeast portion of the property are currently cropland and about 17 acres
on the west side was under agricultural production until about 10 years ago and now consists of scrub-shrub
vegetation. Additionally, there is a sanitary sewer easement that runs east-west just south of the Beaverdam Creek
floodplain. Other land use in the vicinity includes residential, agricultural and forested land. The existing site
conditions are shown on the attached Aerial Map (Figure 3) and Jurisdictional and Jurisdictional and Isolated Waters
Delineation Map (Figure 4).

On July 1, 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 shown in Table 1. No
Critical Habitats were identified within or within the vicinity of the project area. The Official Species List was updated,
and a list of natural heritage resources was obtained from the NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on July 10, 2019.
No records for rare species, important natural communities or natural areas were identified within the project study
area. Conservation/managed areas within the project study area include Wake County Open Space and Town of
Zebulon Open Space as depicted on the attached annotated Natural Heritage Map.

PROTECTED SPECIES ASSESSMENT > AWH-19000

creating experiences through experience 2 of 8
Information regarding the appearance and habitat for each species identified were compiled. McAdams staff routinely
visits the NC Botanical Garden to observe protected plant species identified on Official Species Lists during different
stages of their life cycle, including into senescence. Before beginning the field survey for the protected species that
may occur within the project study area, McAdams staff visited a known population of Michaux’s sumac in Wake
County to help establish the most appropriate search image for this species. On August 8, 2019, two McAdams staff
members conducted a pedestrian survey for Michaux’s sumac along all unpaved vehicle paths, field edges and sanitary
sewer easements present within the project study area. Unidentified mussels were observed in Beaverdam Creek;
however, no impacts to Beaverdam Creek are proposed. Photographs taken during the field evaluation are provided
in Appendix A.

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.
“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 palustris)
PROTECTED SPECIES ASSESSMENT > AWH-19000

creating experiences through experience 3 of 8
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.

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 18ºC. 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)
PROTECTED SPECIES ASSESSMENT > AWH-19000

creating experiences through experience 4 of 8
Beaverdam Creek may contain suitable habitat for this species; however, the proposed project will not impact
Beaverdam Creek. Areas of the project that may be impacted lack large, swift-flowing, perennial headwater 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)
Beaverdam Creek may contain suitable habitat for this species; however, the proposed project will not impact
Beaverdam Creek. Areas of the project that may be impacted lack medium to large, swift-flowing perennial streams
and thus do not contain suitable habitat for the Carolina madtom.

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
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)
Beaverdam Creek may contain suitable habitat for this species; however, the proposed project will not impact
Beaverdam Creek. Areas of the project that may be impacted lack medium to large, swift-flowing perennial streams
and thus do not contain suitable habitat for the Atlantic pigtoe.
PROTECTED SPECIES ASSESSMENT > AWH-19000

creating experiences through experience 5 of 8
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)
Beaverdam Creek may contain suitable habitat for this species; however, the proposed project will not impact
Beaverdam Creek. Areas of the project that may be impacted lack perennial streams with highly stable banks and
extensive root systems holding soils in place and thus do not contain suitable habitat for the dwarf wedgemussel.

Michaux’s Sumac (Rhus michauxii) – 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 2017b)
“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).
PROTECTED SPECIES ASSESSMENT > AWH-19000

creating experiences through experience 6 of 8
Unpaved vehicle paths, field edges and sanitary sewer easements within the project study area contain suitable
habitat for Michaux's sumac. NCNHP data from July 2019 indicates no documented occurrences of Michaux's sumac
within one mile of the project study area. 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.
Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) – Threatened
Biological Opinion: May affect, not likely to adversely affect
“Appearance: The northern long-eared bat is a medium-sized bat with a body length of 3 to 3.7 inches but a
wingspan of 9 to 10 inches. Their fur color can be medium to dark brown on the back and tawny to pale-brown on
the underside. As its name suggests, this bat is distinguished by its long ears, particularly as compared to other bats
in its genus, Myotis.”
“Winter Habitat: Northern long-eared bats spend winter hibernating in caves and mines, called hibernacula. They
use areas in various sized caves or mines with constant temperatures, high humidity, and no air currents. Within
hibernacula, surveyors find them hibernating most often in small crevices or cracks, often with only the nose and
ears visible.”
“Summer Habitat: During the summer, northern long-eared bats roost singly or in colonies underneath bark, in
cavities or in crevices of both live trees and snags (dead trees). Males and non-reproductive females may also roost
in cooler places, like caves and mines. Northern long-eared bats seem to be flexible in selecting roosts, choosing
roost trees based on suitability to retain bark or provide cavities or crevices. This bat has also been found rarely
roosting in structures, like barns and sheds.” (USFWS 2018)
Northern long-eared bat is not listed on the USFWS Wake County species list.

Conclusions/Recommendations
The project area contains suitable habitat for Michaux’s sumac. A biological opinion of “may affect, not likely to
adversely affect” was determined for Michaux’s sumac based on no individuals observed during a field survey
conducted within the optimal survey window for this species. A biological opinion of “no effect” was determined for
red-cockaded woodpecker based on a lack of suitable habitat within the project area. Although Beaverdam Creek
contained unidentified mussels and may contain suitable habitat for the listed aquatic species, 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 because the proposed project will not impact Beaverdam Creek and areas of
the site that may be impacted do not contain suitable habitat for these species. We request your review and
comments on this protected species assessment.

Project Name: Shepards Park

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 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

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.gov/migratorybirds/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
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.

RE: Shepards Park; AWH-19000
Dear Alec Pierzga:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
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. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally-listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one-mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
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.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water Management Trust Fund
easement, or Federally-listed species are 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,
