Dear Mr. Williams and Mr. Wojoski:
On behalf of our client, Dominion Energy North Carolina (DENC), S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) hereby submits this
notification to inform you of work they plan to conduct in accordance with Nationwide Permit (NWP) 18
and the corresponding North Carolina Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 4139. The project will involve
the proposed installation of a natural gas pipeline within an existing NC Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) right-of-way (ROW).
The application and accompanying support information is being submitted through the NCDWR E-PCN
website (https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/Pre-Construction_Notification_Form\). The supporting
information submitted online consists of the following:
Figures: Site Vicinity Exhibit (Figure 1), USGS Topographic Map Exhibit (Figure 2), and NRCS Soil
Survey Exhibit (Figure 3), a 2020 Aerial Photography Exhibit (Figure 4) and Proposed Jurisdictional

Written concurrence from the USACE is required because the project will result in temporary impacts to
aquatic resources. The project will otherwise comply with applicable conditions of NWP-18.
Written concurrence from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) is also required
because the project involves excavation in a stream, the project but will comply with all applicable
conditions of WQC No. 4139. Although the project area is located within a NC river basin subject to
riparian buffer rules (the Neuse), it is considered exempt because the work will take place entirely within
an existing easement that is already maintained and will not result in a change of its current use.
General Project Information
DENC is currently planning to extend an existing natural gas pipeline along the west side of Averette Road
and the north side of Old Pearce Road in Wake Forest, Wake County, North Carolina. The purpose of the
project is to provide natural gas service to residential developments that are currently under construction
along both roads. The new line will begin at the terminus of the existing line near Perry Farms Subdivision
(35.951463° N, -78.454924°W) and extend north along Averette Road for approximately 950 feet where
the pipe will cross under Averette Road. The pipeline will then extend an additional 4,200 feet along Old
Pearce Road to just beyond a residential development currently under construction (35.957647°N,
-78.439674°W). The pipeline is proposed for construction within an existing ROW owned by the NCDOT,
and in most areas the disturbed width will be approximately 10 feet. The project includes conventional
crossings of one jurisdictional stream and one small, linear wetland.
The general project location is depicted on the Site Vicinity Exhibit (Figure 1). The project vicinity consists
primarily of existing residential development or formerly undeveloped areas that have been cleared and
graded for construction of the new subdivisions. The location of the project corridor is depicted in greater
detail on the appropriate U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map Exhibit (Figure 2), an NRCS Soil
Survey Exhibit (Figure 3) and a 2020 Aerial Photograph Exhibit (Figure 4).
Description of the Proposed Work
The pipeline will be installed within a new 10-foot wide work area within the NCDOT ROW, although areas
of additional temporary workspace may be required in certain upland areas.
Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation of clearing limits, jurisdictional boundaries,
and other associated workspaces, etc. Appropriate erosion and sedimentation control (E&SC) measures
will be installed as clearing proceeds to help prevent sedimentation of adjacent jurisdictional features.
Following preparation of the work area and installation of necessary E&SC measures in upland areas, the
trench will be excavated along the “non-working” side of the easement. Lengths of the new pipe will be
trucked to the site from temporary storage yards, strung along the easement and placed on skids
(wooden pedestals). The pipe segments will be heat-welded together, inspected, and then lowered into
the trench. Permanent trench breakers will then be installed where necessary, and the trench will be
backfilled. Affected areas will then be “cleaned up” by rough-grading and temporary seeding (if
necessary), followed by final grading, permanent seeding and mulching to restore the easement as closely
as possible to pre-disturbance contours and conditions. All work at the stream and wetland crossing will
be conducted in accordance with the applicable permit conditions.

Jurisdictional Areas
S&ME (Joey Lawler) visited the project area on May 7, 2020 to delineate jurisdictional features located
therein. S&ME followed the procedures set forth in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual and the
appropriate Regional Supplemental Guidance. Field conditions were documented using USACE Routine
Wetland Determination Data Forms, as appropriate. Wetland areas were observed within to the existing
NCDOT ROW on the east side of Averette Road. Based on these findings, the proposed line was shifted to
the west side of the road. Accordingly, S&ME (Ashley Bentz) then returned to the site on June 4, 2020 and
delineated the new alignment along the west side of the road.
The field review also included identification of tributaries within the project area. Drainage features
identified during the field review were assessed to determine the jurisdictional status of the tributary.
Drainage features were classified as either non-jurisdictional or jurisdictional. S&ME used the NCDWR
Stream Classification Form to document characteristics of identified drainage features on the day of the
assessment. During the site visit, the boundaries of regulated surface waters were demarcated using
sequentially numbered flagging. The location of the affected jurisdictional features is depicted on Figure
5. Representative photographs of the subject features were included with the information submitted
online.
One jurisdictional stream (S1) and one linear Wetland (WA) were identified within the selected project
route during the site visits. Stream S1 is located on the north side of Old Pearce Road, and is considered
an intermittent stream. The channel is approximately one to two feet deep and ranges in width from three
to four feet. Wetland WA is a linear wetland located on the west side of Averette Road, downstream of a
small pond. While Wetland WA exhibited some stream characteristics, it scored less than 19 on the
NCDWR stream form. The feature otherwise exhibited wetland vegetation, soils and hydrology, and as
such, was identified as a linear wetland.
Although two additional streams were identified along the proposed project route along Old Pearce
Road, sufficient cover is available over the existing roadway culverts such that the new pipe can be
installed above the culverts, and additional stream impacts can be avoided. Project-wide wetland and
stream impacts are summarized in Table 1.

submitted online with the E-PCN. Following construction, the temporarily affected jurisdictional areas will
be returned to their pre-construction grade and contour, seeded, and stabilized.
Protected Species
To determine the project’s compliance with applicable sections of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of
1973 (16 USC 1531-1543), S&ME conducted a search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program
(NCNHP) database to identify element occurrences (EOs) of such species listed as potentially occurring
near the project area. The NCNHP list was compared to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) service list. Additionally, S&ME personnel conducted a
pedestrian field review of the site in conjunction to locate potential habitat or the presence of protected
terrestrial species that were identified through the records review. The assessment did not include
sampling or a habitat assessment for aquatic or state-listed species.
The NCNHP provided a May 6, 2020 report that did not identify records of federally protected species
within one mile of the site. Privately managed property (Wild Cat Hollow Registered Heritage Area) was
also identified within one mile but will not be affected by the project. The NCNHP report is included in the
accompanying information submitted with the online PCN. Review of the USFWS database identified the
following federally-protected species with documented populations in Wake County (Table 2).

Based on pedestrian assessments conducted by S&ME, it was determined that the on-site stream did not
exhibit suitable habitat of the listed aquatic species. Similarly, the project corridor does not contain
suitable habitat for any of the listed terrestrial species, with the exception of Michaux’s sumac.
Michaux’s Sumac
Status: Federally-Listed Endangered
Biological Determination: No Effect
Michaux’s sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy shrub with erect stems approximately one to three feet in
height. The compound leaves are evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate leaflets. Flowers are
small, borne in a terminal, erect, dense cluster and are greenish yellow to white in color. Michaux’s sumac
flowers between June and July and the fruit, a red drupe, is produced through the months of August to
October.
Michaux’s sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils, surviving best in
areas where some form of disturbance has provided an open area. In North Carolina, observed
populations have been identified on highway rights-of-way, roadsides, or on the edges of artificially
maintained clearings. It is commonly observed with species such as pitchfork crowngrass (Paspalum
bifidum), woodland sunflower (Helianthus divaricatus), Carolina fluffgrass (Tridens carolinianus), winged
sumac, green silkyscale (Anthaenantia villosa), skeletongrass (Gymnopogon sp.), and woolysheath
threeawn (Aristida lanosa). This species does not tolerate shade or wet soils.
Threats to this species include its low reproductive capability, a reduction in habitat due to fire
suppression and habitat destruction due to residential and industrial development. The project corridor
contains areas of potentially suitable habitat for the above species. However, no individuals of Michaux’s
sumac were observed. Based on our pedestrian field review, it is anticipated that this project will not
adversely affect populations of this species.
Copies of the NCNHP report is included with the information submitted online with the E-PCN.
Historic and Archaeological Resources
With respect to cultural resources, S&ME conducted a review of the National Historic Preservation Act GIS
database for structures that are eligible for listing within a 0.5-mile radius of the project site. Review of
this database indicated that of those sites, the sites identified in table 3 were (formerly) located along
Averette or Old Pearce Road proximate to the proposed pipeline route.

Because the proposed project will be constructed entirely within the existing NCDOT ROW, it is unlikely
that any of the sites identified above will be affected by the proposed project.
Avoidance and Minimization
The proposed easement was routed to avoid a larger wetland and pond located on the east side of
Averette Road and utilize areas that have been previously developed (the NCDOT ROW). Impacts to two
streams located along Old Pearce Road will be avoided by installing the new line above existing culverts
located in the NCDOT ROW. At the stream and wetland crossing, DENC plans to limit its workspace to the
width of the existing NCDOT ROW. At the stream crossing, a dam-and-pump system will be used to divert
clean water flow around the work area until the crossing is completed. Once work affecting the stream
and wetland are initiated, it will be carried to completion in an expeditious manner to minimize the period
of disturbance. Typical details for a temporary coffer dam and pump methodology for isolation of the
trench excavation were included in the information submitted online with the E-PCN.
Project BMPs used in connection with the conventional crossings include the following:
The crossings will be executed in as minimal amount of time necessary.
Sufficient equipment to execute the crossings in an expeditious, environmentally responsible manner
will be available on site prior to initiation of the crossing.
Efforts will be made to perform the crossings during anticipated low flow conditions.
Local weather conditions will be monitored such that, to the extent possible, stormwater events will
be avoided during and immediately following installation of the pipe.
The crossings will be monitored during installation by personnel experienced in stream/wetland
crossing procedures, familiar with site conditions, and knowledgeable of North Carolina
environmental regulations. The monitor shall have the authority to stop work should conditions
change and additional or different measures be needed.
Upstream and downstream portions of the stream crossing point will be sealed to isolate the crossing
for pipeline installation “in the dry.” Clean steel plates, sand bags, or similar measures will be inserted
to temporarily dam the flow. Steel plates will be cleaned prior to use on streams using biodegradable
products or heat. On both sides of the installed plates (both upstream and downstream) sandbags will
additionally be placed to secure the plates, reinforce the damming of water, and provide a secondary
barrier to seepage. The excavated trench will be monitored for groundwater intrusion and, if noted,
excess water will be pumped to a discharge site located well away from the top of bank of the
receiving stream. Discharged water from the trench will be filtered through an appropriate E&SC
measure.
The top 6-12 inches of streambed substrate and wetland topsoil will be stockpiled separately from the
subgrade material and kept saturated during the installation.
Pumps will be obtained and staged prior to executing the stream crossing. Back-up pumps shall be
kept on-site should the primary pump(s) malfunction, or to control high flows. All pumps will have
screened intakes and will be placed in secondary containment for the duration of the installation. In
the event an unforeseen weather event occurs during installation, pumps near the crossing will be
monitored 24-hours a day until normal flow conditions are present.
Pump flow rates will be monitored to ensure adequate flow is achieved such that water neither
accumulates behind the upstream dam nor is discharged too rapidly on the downstream side. At the
downstream discharge location, flow discharge rates shall be controlled such that scouring of the

stream bed and/or banks does not occur. Efforts will be made to aerate the water prior to its
downstream discharge into the receiving stream.
Removal of in-stream control devices will be conducted in such a manner as to allow a gradual re-
introduction of flowing water into the channel.
Streambanks and wetland areas will be restored in a careful manner, achieving pre-construction
contours to the extent practical.
Affected streambanks will be monitored for stability following construction and for the duration of the
pipeline construction. Restoration will be considered complete when herbaceous vegetation reaches
80-percent coverage.
All disturbed areas on stream banks and the linear wetland edges will be seeded with a customized
seed mix that will extend 10-feet landward of the jurisdictional boundary. Stream banks temporarily
affected by trenching will be stabilized with a native seed mix specifically designed for riparian areas,
and with biodegradable coir matting.
Construction equipment operating near the stream and linear wetland will be limited to that
necessary for excavation, pipe installation and restoration activities. Vegetation near the jurisdictional
features will be cut at ground level, leaving existing root systems in place to promote re-growth.
Appropriate E&SC practices outlined in the most recent version of the North Carolina “Erosion and
Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual" and approved by the local governing authority shall be in
compliance with specifications governing the proper design, installation, operation, and maintenance of
such BMPs to comply with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard.
The project will comply with applicable conditions of NWP No. 18 and WQC No. 4139. Following the work,
the affected areas will be restored to their original grade and contour. As proposed, the project will not
result in permanent changes to the ground surface elevation(s) in the proposed easement or permanently
affect the dimension, pattern, or profile of the subject streams. Temporarily affected areas are proposed
to be restored in accordance with the attached Restoration Plan (submitted online with the E-PCN)
following completion of the work.
Mitigation
The project will not result in permanent impact to wetlands. The project will temporarily impact less than
150 linear feet of stream, and no permanent stream impacts are proposed. It is our understanding that
stream/wetland impacts are generally considered temporary if the affected portion is restored to original
pre-construction contours once construction is completed, and the work does not involve the permanent
placement of fill material or hard armor.
A general stream/wetland restoration plan was provided with the information submitted online with the
E-PCN. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that purchase of wetland/stream mitigation credit will be
required.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
10
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The proposed easement was routed to avoid a larger wetland and pond located on the east side of Averette Road and utilize areas that have been
previously developed (the NCDOT ROW). Impacts to two streams located along Old Pearce Road will be avoided by installing the new line above
existing culverts located in the NCDOT ROW.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
At the stream and wetland crossing, DENC plans to limit its workspace to the width of the existing NCDOT ROW. At the stream crossing, a dam -and -
pump system will be used to divert clean water flow around the work area until the crossing is completed. Once work affecting the stream and wetland
are initiated, it will be carried to completion in an expeditious manner to minimize the period of disturbance.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?

O Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
All impacts are temporary. Wetland impacts do not exceed 0.10 acre and stream impacts do not exceed 150 LF.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) U
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
r Yes r No
What type of SCM are you providing?
r Level Spreader
r Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
r Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
r Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen
W Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer

Restoration Plan
Old Pearce / Averette Project
Wake Forest, North Carolina
S&ME Project 7335-20-062
The proposed project has been designed to avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts where practicable. As
part of mitigation for unavoidable impacts, the following plan shall be implemented to restore the
temporarily-affected stream and linear wetland. This plan entails restoration of temporarily-disturbed areas
to their original contours and conditions to the degree practicable upon project completion. Unless
otherwise authorized by the appropriate permits, no fills or spoils of any kind will be permanently placed
along the stream banks or within the wetland. Further, disturbed streambanks will be permanently stabilized
using coir matting (with no plastic or nylon) and native vegetative cover.
Proposed restoration activities will include the removal of placed fill material and restoration of original pre-
disturbance contours. Excavated material shall be returned to the trench to the extent possible, and
remaining excess material relocated and retained on an upland site. The top several inches of excavated
streambed/wetland substrate will be stockpiled separately, kept viable, and then replaced uniformly over the
area of excavation from which it was removed. The native seed mix identified in Table 1 below will be utilized
within temporarily-disturbed streambanks and along the linear wetland.
Table 1: Riparian Seed Mix
Species Common Name Percentage Of Mix
Agrostis perennans Autumn bentgrass 15
Andropogon gerardii Big bluestem 10
Coreopsis lanceolata Lanceleaf coreopsis 10
Elymus virginicus Virginia wildrye 20
Juncus effusus Soft rush 5
Panicum virgatum Switchgrass 15
Rudbeckia hirta Blackeyed susan 10
Schizachyrium scoparium Little bluestem 5
Sorghastrum nutans Indian grass 5
Tripsacum dactyloides Eastern gamagrass 5
Riparian Seed Mix is to be applied to all disturbed streambanks and along the linear wetland. The
recommended application rate: 20 lbs. per acre.

To provide quicker cover, the mixes specified in Table 1 should also be augmented with the appropriate
cover/companion species, as identified in Table 2.
Table 2: Cover/Companion Crops
Species Common Season Mix Notes:
Secale cereale Cereal or
Winter rye
Early Spring or
Fall 30 lbs/acre Grows 3-4' tall, but not a strong a
competitor.
Lolium perenne Perennial rye Early Fall or
Spring 15 lbs /acre Shorter rye; lasts about 2 years,
then dies out.
Urocloa ramose Brown Top
Millet Spring, Summer 15 lbs / acre Good germination; dies off with
frost; does not tolerate mowing.
Substitutions to the riparian mix identified in this restoration plan may be made with prior approval. Any
substitutions shall consist of appropriate native species.

RE: Old Pearce and Averette Rd Project; 7335-20-062
Dear Joey Lawler:
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,

Project Name: Angier Road Project

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
02/15/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-01464   2

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 4 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.
NOAA Fisheries, also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is an
