4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
Originally constructed in 2018, Line 1015 is an existing 115kV line that runs from Scotland Neck Substation to South Justice Branch Substation. NCEMC has submitted a request on
behalf of Halifax EMC (HEMC) for a new Delivery Point (DP) due to poor reliability. The proposed project provides for the construction of the new 115kV Dawson's Crossroads DP, set
back approx 0.02 miles from Line 1015, between structures 80 and 81 in Halifax, North Carolina.
The transmission line work associated with this project includes the installation of (2) new self-supporting switch structures, (2) 115kV switches, and (1) SC DE 3-pole terminal structure.
This project also involves the installation of approximately 0.03 miles of 3-phase 768.2 ACSS/TW/MA5 (20/7) conductor, the installation of risers to the two proposed self-supporting
switches and the proposed tap span between the substation backbone and the 3-pole tap structure, and (6) floating dead-end assemblies.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
A construction entrance to the site will be installed. All erosion and sediment controls will be installed prior to any land disturbing activities. Clearing and grubbing for access only.
Matting will be used in wetland areas. There will be no indirect impacts. All land disturbing activities will be limited to the existing RAN easement. Equipment will consist of standard
mechanized construction equipment, in addition to power company vehicles. With sensitive areas (wetlands) machinery will be kept to a minimum use only.

The project is in an epsting R/W easement. There is a stream located on either side of the easement. However, the stream located at the edge of the
RAN easement which would allow part of the project area to fall within the Tar -Pamlico buffer rule. The project is subject to the "overhead electric utility
line perpendicular crossings of streams and other surface ureters that disturb equal to or less than 150 linear feet of riparian buffer". The attached
impact map depicts areas of the riparian buffer zones within the project area. The E&S plans detail the BMPs that will be utilized to comply with the
Exempt designation.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The proposed project limits the construction of access roads in upland sections of the project area. Permanent impacts were avoided by installing the
towers outside of the wetland areas.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The proposed limits of disturbance are 0.8 acres. Timber matting will be used to avoid unnecessary damage to wetland areas during construction.
Areas will be seeded to stabilize soils and vegetation.
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?
r^ Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The proposed project impacts are temporary. Matting will be used in the areas of temporary impacts and will be returned to original state when work in those areas have been
completed.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) u

Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

Project Name: Dawson's Crossing

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
03/23/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-02070   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 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.
NOAA Fisheries, also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is an

characteristic of the wetland type. This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clearcutting or clearing.
It also includes communities with exotics present, but not dominant, over a large portion of the expected strata.
C Vegetation severely altered from reference in composition, or expected species are unnaturally absent (planted stands of non -
characteristic species or at least one stratum inappropriately composed of a single species), or exotic species are dominant in at
least one stratum.
16. Vegetative Diversity – assessment area condition metric (evaluate for Non-tidal Freshwater Marsh only)
