List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.02 4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property: 536.4 4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:* The City of High Point proposes to construct an 18" forcemain sewer line to provide service from the Bisbee Drive wet well location to areas along the right of way of Bisbee Drive, Vickery Chapel Road, Kivett Drive and Riverdale Drive.The installation of the forcemain will improve rapacity of flow and increase the service area. 41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:* The proposed alignment runs east from the existing wet well location on Bisbee Drive along Vickery Chapel Road, south/southwest along Kivett Drive and south through active timberland to Riverdale Drive. The preferred route of the forcemain from the existing wet well location is to run along previously cleared right-of-way that parallels local roads. The project will include the installation of 18 inch forcemain with associated access points. The project alignment is approximately 3.3 miles long. Ground disturbing activities will include clearing and grubbing as needed within the 40 foot limits of disturbance. Clearing will be limited to areas that have not been cleared for other easements. Installation of the forcemain will require trenching and backfilling. Proposed trench widths will range from four to sixfeet and the trench will have a minimum depth of four feet. The alignment Will cross the Deep River at a width of 50 feet and multiple tributaries by open cuts at a maxiumum width of 40 feet. Cofferdams will be used from bank to midpoint, to allow uninterupped flow of the Deep River and other streams within the alignment. Any impacted areas Will be restored to original grade and stabilized. All impacted buffers will be re - vegetated with native vegetation. No historic properties were identified along or adjacent to the alignment using the NCHPO database search, and no buildings were found within or directly adjacent to the project area during field investigations. No impacts to historic properties are proposed as part of this project. 4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project. HPT19570_100%_Plan Set.pdf 36.96MB 5.

Supporting Documentation 20 0824 Registers Creek Permit Sheets.pdf 2.3MB E. Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: Multiple alignments were evaluated based on environmental impacts, availability of public right-of-way or private easement requirements, and ease of construction. The alignment route selected utilized existing municipal and State owned land and existing utility easements as much as possible and minimized the disturbance to forested and residential land. Access roads to pump and lift stations Will be located in upland areas and will not cross jurisdictional waters. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Proper erosion and sedimentation control measures will be implemented as proposed and approved by the NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (NCDEMLR). Proposed measures include super silt fence along stream banks and wetland perimeters, stone relief outlets, and compost socks adjacent to wetlands and/or streams. Streams and rivers will be crossed via open cut. Impacts at open cut crossing locations will be minimized by use of appropriate erosion control and flow diversion measures during construction. Direct impacts from construction of the waterline to these features will be temporary, and any impacted areas will be restored to original grade and stabilized following construction. Prior to excavating in jurisdictional streams, coffer dams will be installed upstream and downstream of the excavation area to isolate the disturbed area and contain sediment. Stream flowon the upstream side of the excavation will be pooled above the coffer dam and pumped around the excavation area. The pumped water will be discharged on the downstream side of the excavation belowthe lower coffer dam through sediment bags to filter the discharge water of sediment before allowing the water to be returned to the stream channel. The Deep River and Reddicks Creek will only be partially blocked by cofferdams to allowflowof the opposite half that work is occurring. Impacted stream banks will be stabilized with rip rap as required to provide proper stabilization and protection against erosion. Rip rap will be keyed into the stream banks such that the original cross section of the stream is maintained. Wetland areas that must be excavated for installation of the pipe will be returned to their original (pre -construction) contours and revegetated. Installation will be by low pressure rubber tired excavation equipment where possible. No forested wetland will be impacted by the construction activities. 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? F Yes f• No 2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why: No permanent impacts will result from the proposed work, and all temporary impacts will be returned to pre -construction contours and stabilized as required by NWP conditions. F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) 1. Diffuse Flow Plan 1a. 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? rJ Level Spreader r- Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT) r- Wetland Swale (higher SHWT) r- Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen r- Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer Diffuse Flow Documentation 2.

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 07/30/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-03614   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 john_ellis@fws.gov. 07/30/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-03614   3    ▪ Attachment(s): Official Species List 07/30/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-03614   1    Official Species List This list is provided pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, and fulfills the requirement for Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary of the Interior information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of a proposed action".

Endangered Species Act Species There is a total of 2 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.
