Subject: Preconstruction Notification for Proposed Overhead Electric Distribution Line
Crossing Northeast Cape Fear River in Pender County
Dear Mr. Shaver and Ms. Karoly:
Carolina Power & light Company d/b/a Progress Energy Carolinas (PEC) is preparing to
construct an electric distribution line serving a residential customer in northern Pender
County. The total length of the installation is approximately 700 feet, beginning at an
existing distribution line, crossing the Northeast Cape Fear River, and then extending
underground to the customer.
The river is considered navigable under Section 10, and PEC is requesting authorization
from the Corps under Nationwide 12 for this relocated crossing. No wetlands will be
impacted by this installation.
PEC has discussed this crossing with the Division of Coastal Management (DCM), and
DCM has determined that the proposed work qualifies for a CAMA general permit,
which is also being applied for.
The proposed project will not require approval of an erosion control plan, since less than
one acre will be disturbed. However, PEC will ensure that no off-site sedimentation
occurs.
In additional to surveying the project area for jurisdictional waters, PEC has determined
there are no impacts to threatened or endangered species or to cultural resources.

freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.

Natural Resource Investigation for the
NE Cape Fear River Crossing
Pender County, North Carolina
September 2006
Project Description
The proposed NE Cape Fear River Crossing project is located in Pender County, North Carolina.
Progress Energy Carolinas (PEC) proposes to install a power line across the NE Cape Fear River to an
adjoining properly. The project route is depicted on U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map
(Figure 1). The project study area encompasses approximately 15 feet (ft) on either side of the staked
centerline.
Project Understanding
Environmental Services, Inc., (ESI) was tasked by PEC to provide the following services for the NE
Cape Fear River Crossing project:
• Jurisdictional wetland and stream delineation
• Preliminary protected species assessment
• Preliminary cultural resource assessment
• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) field review (if deemed necessary)
• Report and graphics preparation
ESI was asked to delineate all jurisdictional features within the proposed transmission line route
mentioned above. The centerline had been previously identified and staked in the field by a registered
surveyor. The delineation was to be located by Hanover Design Services, PA.
Background Research
Prior to the initiation of field efforts, available sources were reviewed, including the USGS 7.5-minute
topographic quadrangles [Wallace East, NC (1981)], aerial photographs of the proposed alignment as
obtained by ESI, and Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) soils mapping for Pender
County (USDA 1990). Additionally, records kept by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program
(NCNHP) concerning any known occurrences of federally Threatened or Endangered species were
reviewed on 16 August 2006.
Water Resources
The project study area is in the Cape Fear River Basin and is located in USGS hydrologic unit;
03030007.
A Best Usage Classification (BUC) is assigned to waters of North Carolina based on the existing or
contemplated best usage of various bodies of water. The NE Cape Fear River is the only channel
associated with the project study area. The NE Cape Fear River [Stream Index Number: 18-74-(29.5)]
has been assigned a BUC of C Sw (NCDENR 2006). The C designation indicates freshwaters that
J
2
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
support aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture.
Secondary recreation is any activity involving human body contact with water on an infrequent or
incidental basis. The supplemental classification Sw indicates swamp waters, which have slow
velocities and other natural characteristics, which are different from adjacent streams.
Section 404 Delineation Results
The only jurisdictional area subject to Section 404 jurisdiction in the project corridor is the NE Cape
Fear River. This area was identified and delineated within the project corridor. The river was flagged
with orange and blue flagging. A professional survey crew was on site to survey the delineation line,
therefore no GPS data was collected. Data forms will be submitted to the ACOE with our formal
submittal for a site visit should PEC decide to proceed with a formal site visit. ESI will provide PEC
with copies of these forms at that time under separate cover.
Threatened and Endangered Species
Species with the federal classifications of Endangered (E), or Threatened (T), are protected under the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The thirteen (13)
species listed in Table 1 carry the federal designation of E or T and are listed by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS 2006) as having ranges that are considered to extend into Pender County
based upon the most recent list dated 8 March 2006.

*Historic record -the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago.
American alligator -The American alligator is a large reptile with a broad snout, a short neck, a
heavy body, and a laterally compressed tail. Adults are blackish or dark gray, but faint yellowish
3
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
crossbands are sometimes evident. The young are black with conspicuous yellow crossbands. The
American alligator inhabits fresh water swamps, marshes, abandoned rice fields, ponds, lakes, and
backwaters of large rivers. Females lay eggs in June and hatchlings emerge in late summer or early
fall (Martof et al. 1980). American alligator is listed as threatened based on the similarity in
appearance [T(S/A)] to other federally listed crocodilians; however, there are no other crocodilians
within North Carolina. T(S/A) species are not subject to Section 7 consultation and a biological
conclusion is not required. Field surveys for American alligator are not typically requested by the
USFWS in North Carolina as a permit requirement since the species in listed as T(S/A).
Habitat Present: Yes
NCNHP records indicate no documented occurrences of American alligator within 3.0 miles
of the project site (NCNHP 2006). Foraging and nesting habitat for the American alligator is
present along the NE Cape Fear River. No nests were observed nor were alligators observed
foraging. This project may affect American alligator or its habitat. However, no biological
conclusion is required since the species is listed as T(S/A).
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: None Required
Bald eagle -Bald eagles typically feed on fish but may also take birds and small mammals. In the
Carolinas, the nesting season extends from December through May (Potter et al. 1980). Bald eagles
typically nest in tall, living trees in a conspicuous location near water and forage over large bodies of
water with adjacent trees available for perching. Preventing disturbance activities within a primary
zone extending 750 to 1,500 ft outward from a nest tree is considered critical for maintaining
acceptable conditions for eagles (USFWS 1987). The USFWS recommends avoiding any disturbance
activities, including construction and tree cutting, within this primary zone. Within a secondary zone,
which starts at primary zone boundary and extends out to a distance of up to 1.3 miles (6,864 ft) from
a nest tree, construction and land-clearing activities should be restricted to the non-nesting period.
USFWS also recommends avoiding alteration of natural shorelines where bald eagles forage, and
avoiding significant land-clearing activities within 1,500 ft of roosting sites.
Habitat Present: Yes
NCNHP records indicate no documented occurrences of bald eagle within 3.0 miles of the
project site (NCNHP 2006). Foraging habitat and nesting habitat was observed on the project
site. Bald eagle surveys should be conducted along the NE Cape Fear River before
commencing construction.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: Unresolved
Green sea turtle -The green sea turtle grows to a maximum size of about 4 ft and a weight of 440
pounds. The adults feed largely on marine algae and grasses in shallow water areas. They may also
consume small mollusks, sponges, crustaceans, and jellyfish. This species is pan-tropical in
distribution and unlike other sea turtles, occasionally comes ashore to bask. They readily migrate
long distances across open seas but spend most time in shallow waters. This species does not nest in
North Carolina (Martof et al. 1980).
4
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
Habitat Present: No
NCNHP records indicate no documented occurrences of green sea turtle within 3.0 miles of
the project site (NCNHP 2006). No coastal beaches are present within the project site.
Therefore, this project should not affect green sea turtle.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
Loggerhead sea turtle -The loggerhead sea turtle is the most common sea turtle on the coast of the
Carolinas. This species averages 31 to 47 inches in length and weighs from 170 to 500 pounds
(Martof et al. 1980). The loggerhead is basically temperate or subtropical in nature, and is primarily
oceanic, but it may also be found in fresh water bays, sounds, and large rivers. Bodies of water in the
project area are probably not large enough to support this species' foraging habitat. This species
occurs along the coast of North Carolina from late April to October. Preferred nesting habitat is ocean
beaches, generally south of Cape Lookout. Traditionally, the largest concentration of loggerhead nests
each year is on Smith Island, at the mouth of the Cape Fear River (Palmer and Braswell 1995).
Habitat Present: No
NCNHP records indicate no documented occurrences of loggerhead sea turtle within 3.0 miles
of the project site (NCNI-IP 2006). No coastal beaches are present within the project site.
Therefore, this project should not affect loggerhead sea turtle.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
Piping plover -Piping plovers are the smallest of the plovers found in South Carolina, measuring only
6 to 8 inches in length (Golder and Parnell 1987). These small Nearctic birds occur along beaches
above the high tide line, sand flats at the ends of sandspits and barrier islands, gently sloping
foredunes, blowout areas behind primary dunes, and washover areas cut into or between dunes (Dyer
et al. 1987). Nests are most often on open, wide sandy stretches of beach similar to those associated
with inlets and capes.
Habitat Present: No
NCNHP records indicate no documented occurrences of piping plover within 3.0 miles of the
project site (NCNHP 2006). No coastal beaches are present within the project site. Therefore,
this project should not affect piping plover.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
Red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) -Primary habitat consists of mature to over-mature southern
pine forests dominated by loblolly (Pinus taeda), longleaf (Pinus palustris), slash (Pinus elliotii), and
pond pines (Pinus serotina). Nest cavities are constructed in the heartwood of living pines, generally
older than 60 years that have been infected with red-heart disease. Nest cavity trees typically occur in
clusters, which are referred to as colonies. Pine flatwoods or pine savannas that are fire maintained
serve as ideal nesting and foraging sites for this species. Development of a thick understory and
5
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
midstory within a given area usually deters nesting and foraging. Potential nest sites for RCW's
include pine and pine/hardwood stands greater than 60 years of age. Hardwood/pine stands (<50%
pine) greater than 60 years of age may also be considered potential nesting habitat if adjacent to
potential foraging habitat (Henry 1989). Foraging habitat is typically comprised of open pine/mixed
hardwood stands over 30 years of age (Henry 1989). Pines must comprise at least 60 percent of the
canopy in order to provide suitable foraging for RCW's. Somewhat younger pine stands may be
utilized if the trees have an average diameter at breast height (DBH) greater than or equal to 9 inches.
Foraging stands must be connected to other foraging areas or nesting areas in order to be deemed a
viable foraging site. Open spaces or unsuitable habitat 200 ft or more in width are considered barriers
to RCW foraging (USFWS 2003).
Habitat Present: No
NCNHP records indicate no documented occurrences of RCW within 3.0 miles of the project
site (NCNHP 2006). Suitable foraging habitat for the RCW was not identified within the
project site. In addition, there were no suitable nesting sites observed within the project
corridor. Therefore, this project should have no effect on RCW.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
Shortnose sturgeon -The shortnose sturgeon is abottom-feeding fish that occurs in Atlantic seaboard
rivers from the St. Johns River, Florida to eastern Canada. The sturgeon is anadromous, spending
most of the year in brackish estuarine environments and moving into freshwater only when spawning
(Gilbert 1989). The Lower Cape Fear River drainage area may contain North Carolina's only self-
sustaining population of shortnose sturgeon.
Habitat Present: Yes
NCNHP records indicate no documented occurrences of shortnose sturgeon within 3.0 miles
of the project study area (NCNHP 2006). The NE Cape Fear River within the project site is
large enough to support shortnose sturgeon. However, the transmission line should span the
NE Cape Fear River. Therefore, this project should not affect shortnose sturgeon.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
West Indian manatee -The West Indian manatee is a large aquatic mammal that may wander from
Florida during summer to as far north as coastal Virginia (USFWS 1993). A vagrant manatee was
recently sighted (July 1994) in the Cape Fear River at the south end of the Wilmington port facility
(NCNHP records).
Habitat Present: No
NCNHP records indicate no documented occurrences of West Indian manatee within 3.0 miles
of the project site (NCNHP 2006). The NE Cape Fear River within the project site is large
enough to support West Indian manatee. However, the transmission line should span the NE
Cape Fear River. Therefore, this project should not affect West Indian manatee.

American chaffseed -Chaffseed is a perennial root-parasitic herb that stands 12-24 inches tall. The
alternately-leaved plant is erect and simple, or branched only at the base. The fleshy leaves are
yellow-green or dull green with red undertones, and become smaller and narrower from the base of the
plant to the top (Kral 1983). Flowers are arranged on a spike-like raceme and bloom from April to
June. Chaffseed occurs in grass/sedge assemblages with moist acidic sandy loams or sandy peat loams.
These assemblages typically exist in moist pine flatwoods, savannas, bog borders, and open oak
woods.
Habitat Present: No
NCNHP records indicate no documented occurrences of American chaffseed within 3.0 miles
of the project site (NCNHP 2006). No suitable habitat for American chaffseed was identified
within the project site. Therefore, this project should have no effect on American chaffseed.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
Cooley's meadowrue - Cooley's meadowrue is a rhizomatous, perennial herb with a smooth stem; the
3-ft high plant is normally erect in full sun but lax in the shade. Leaves are ternately divided; the
leaflets, less than 1 inch long, are narrow, with untoothed margins. The small, petal-less, unisexual
flowers appear on an open panicle in June and the fruits, small ellipsoidal achenes, mature in August
and September. Moist bogs and savannas are the preferred habitat of Cooley's meadowrue. This
species is endemic to the southeastern Coastal Plain of North Carolina (11 locations) and one location
in Florida. Some form of disturbance is usually needed to sustain the open quality of the meadowrue's
habitat. Consequently, Cooley's meadowrue is sometimes found along utility corridors, roadside
margins, or other maintained areas. Cooley's meadowrue is threatened by fire suppression and land
disturbing practices such as silviculture or agriculture (USFWS 1994).
Habitat Present: Yes
NCNHP records indicate no documented occurrences of Cooley's meadowrue within 3.0
miles of the project site (NCNHP 2006). No suitable habitat for Cooley's meadowrue is
present within the project site. Therefore, this project should have no effect on Cooley's
meadowrue. BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
Golden sedge -Golden sedge is a perennial member of the sedge family. The yellowish green leaves
are grasslike and the vegetative shoots reach a length of 26 inches. It is distinguished from other
Carex spp. that occur in the same habitat by its bright yellow color, by its height and slenderness, and
especially by the out-curved beaks of the crowded perigynia (USFWS 2002). This species prefers the
ecotone between pine savanna and wet hardwood/conifer forest (CPC 2006).

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES, INC.
Habitat Present: No
NCNHP records indicate no documented occurrences of golden sedge within 3.0 miles of the
project site (NCNHP 2006). No suitable habitat for golden sedge is present within the project
study area. Therefore, this project should not affect golden sedge.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
Rough-leaved loosestrife -Rough-leaved loosestrife is a rhizomatous perennial that flowers from late
May to June with the seeds forming by August and capsules dehiscing in October. Rough-leaved
loosestrife typically occurs along the ecotone between long-leaf pine savannas and wetter, shrubby
areas, where lack of canopy vegetation allows abundant sunlight into the herb layer. The loosestrife is
endemic to Coastal Plain and Sandhill regions of the Carolinas. This species is fire maintained;
suppression of naturally occurring fires has contributed to the loss of habitat in our state. Drainage of
habitat may also have adverse effects on the plant (USFWS 1995).
Habitat Present: No
NCNHP records indicate no documented occurrences of rough-leaved loosestrife within 3.0
miles of the project site (NCNHP 2006). No suitable habitat for rough-leaved loosestrife was
identified in the project site. Therefore, this project should have no effect on rough-leaved
loosestrife.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
Seabeach amaranth -Seabeach amaranth is an annual that grows from seeds germinating from April
through July. The plant is succulent, sprawling or trailing, and may reach 2 ft in length. Its leaves are
succulent, rounded with an indented tip, and are clustered near the ends of the stems (USFWS 1996).
Inconspicuous flowers and fruits are produced in the leaf axils, typically beginning in July until frost.
This species occurs on barrier island beaches where its primary habitat consists of overwash flats at
accreting ends of islands, and lower foredunes and upper strands of noneroding beaches. Seabeach
amaranth appears to be intolerant of competition and does not occur on well-vegetated sites. The only
remaining large populations of Seabeach amaranth are in coastal North Carolina (USFWS 1996).
Habitat Present: No
NCNHP records indicate no documented occurrences of Seabeach amaranth within 3.0 miles
of the project site (NCNHP 2006). The project area does not extend to any barrier island
beaches, the preferred habitat of the seabeach amaranth. Therefore, this project should have
no effect on seabeach amaranth.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
