PO Box 128 Kernersville, NC 27285 Re: Pleasant Hill Solar — Northampton County, NC Dear Mrs. Carston: This letter is in response to your request for information on your proposed solar project, listed above. Our comments are submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the F ndangered Species Act (the Act). Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the'proposed action is not likely to adversely affect any federally -listed endangered or threatened species; their formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action. However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species, including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction. Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction site and any nearby down -gradient surface waters. We recommend maintaining natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site. 1'he Service recommends that solar facilities be sited in areas that are previously disturbed, or sites that do not impact mature forest, wetlands, or streams. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a copy can be found on our website at (http://www.fws.gov/raleigh) to address and mitigate secondary and cumulative- impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality. We recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary). In addition, we encourage the use of natural vegetation management practices (such as sheep grazing) and the planting or seeding of native pollinator plant species where possible on the site, and other efforts to improve habitat for various species (such as bird houses and bat boxes). The Service has co-authored the North Carolina Technical Guidance for Native Plantings on Solar Sites, which can be found on the North Carolina Pollinator Alliance website: http://nepollinatoralliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/1 O/NC-Solar-Technical-Guidance-Oct- 2018.pdf. To offset the overall impacts of solar facilities and/or to increase the habitat and species diversity within the solar facility area, we further recommend the following measures be implemented into project design: • Create openings in fencing to allow passage for small mammals and turtles. Mitigate for the loss of forested habitat. Though the loss of forested habitat cannot be fully mitigated when cleared for solar facilities, we believe measures should be implemented into the design plans to offset the impacts of the project to the greatest extent practicable. We recommend the construction and placement of bat and bird boxes throughout the site along with perch poles that are large enough to be used by raptors. • We recommend that solar companies sow native seed mixes with plant species that are beneficial to pollinators throughout the site. Please refer to the North Carolina Solar Technical Guidance at the North Carolina Pollinator Alliance website, listed above. The Service is concerned with the introduction and spread of invasive exotic species in association with the proposed project. Exotic species are a major contributor to species depletion and extinction, second only to habitat loss. Despite their short-term erosion control benefits, many exotic species used in soil stabilization seed mixes are persistent once they are established, thereby preventing the reestablishment of native vegetation. Many of these exotics plants are also aggressive invaders of nearby natural areas, where they are capable of displacing already established native species. Therefore, we strongly recommend that only native plant species be used in association with all aspects of this project. The Service has established an on-line project planning and consultation process which assists developers and consultants in determining whether a federally -listed species or designated critical habitat may be affected by a proposed project. For future projects, please visit the Raleigh Field Office's project planning website at https•//www.fws.gov/raleigh/pp.html. If you are only searching for a list of species that may be present in the project's Action Area, then you may use the Service's Information, Planning, and Consultation System (IPaC) website to determine if any listed, proposed, or candidate species may be present in the Action Area and generate a species list. The IPaC website may be viewed at https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/. The 2 IPaC web site contains a complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and threatened species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), a list of federal species of concern, that are known to occur in each county in North Carolina, and other resources. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Kathy Matthews of this office at (919) 856-4520 ext. 27. Sincerely, )P4eteBe`nam2in -0� Field Supervisor The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation does not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed for listing as a federally endangered or threatened species. However, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to federal species of concern.

Carston Pilot Environmental PO Box 128 Kernersville, NC 27285 Re: Pleasant Hill Solar Farm & Substation, Northampton County, ER 19-5409 Dear Ms. Carston: Office of Archives and History Deputy Secretary Kevin Cherry Thank you for your April 20, 2020, submission concerning the above -referenced project. We have reviewed the materials provided and offer the following comments. One cemetery is in the project area, and you note that it will be excluded from development activities. As historic cemeteries have the potential to contain unmarked graves, the cemetery may extend into the project area. Cemeteries are protected under North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 14-148 and 14-149 and are afforded consideration under NCGS Chapters 65 and 70. We recommend that an archaeologist experienced in delineating cemeteries determine the extent of the historic cemetery and complete a Cemetery Site Form (hitps://files.nc.Vov/dncr-arch/Professionals Cemetery Site Form.pdf). Once this has been accomplished, please provide final project designs showing how the cemetery will be avoided, and a description of measures that will be taken to ensure the cemetery will not be subject to ground disturbance during construction and that access will be maintained in accordance with NCGS Chapter 65. We have determined that the project as proposed will not have an effect on any historic buildings or structures. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.
