List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 1.9 acres 4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property: 390 linear feet 4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:* The proposed project includes development of a cell tower on the southwestern portion of the site. The cell tower Will aid in providing reliable cellular coverage to the rural areas surrounding Greensboro. There is an existing gravel access road and culverted stream crossing at the site. The cell tower pad is situated south of the stream. In order to access the cell tower for construction and maintenance a culverted stream crossing is needed. The existing access road and stream crossing will be improved. Currently, the culvert is perched (1-2") above the ordinary highwater mark. As such, water is seeping under the pipe. There is flow in the stream above the pipe and flow in the stream below the pipe, but no flow in the pipe. The existing culvert is to be removed and replaced with an 18" reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) pipe. Installation of the RCP shall insure adequate flowand circulation patterns of the stream are restored. Additional impacts to the buffer that are not already impacted by the existing gravel road shall not occur. There are no wetland impacts proposed with this project. 4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:* A proposed cell tower will be built on the southern portion of the site in an existing upland meadow. An existing access road extends south from Camp Burton Road along the western boundary. The proposed project will improve the access road and replace the stream crossing to allowfor improved flow of the perennial stream. The road and culvert improvements are necessary to accommodate for the construction and maintenance of the cell tower. The access easement will be 20' wide to accommodate for underground wiring and a 12' gravel access road. The existing 12" concrete culvert will be replaced with 40'x1.5' RCP. A temporary inlet protection Will be installed to prevent downstream sedimentation during construction. The proposed cell tower will be a 220' self-support tower located within a 50'x50' fenced compound. Gravel will be placed Within the fenced compound. A double rowof silt fencing will be placed along the stream and Wetlands to protect against sedimentation during construction. Various equipment will be used during construction and may include bulldozers, backhoes, trenching equipment, dump trucks, a crane, pile drivers, and pickup trucks. Noise impacts are to be expected during construction and will be limited to daylight hours. Existing tree lines will provide a noise and visual buffer to surrounding areas. After construction, typical day-to- day operation of the cell tower will not generate excess noise. Pickup trucks are expected to be used to access the site for general maintenance of the facility. 4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project. C4j.Project Drawings.pdf 302.33KB 5.

Comments: The proposed project is utilizing an existing access road that is cleared and routinely mowed by the property owner. Additional encroachment into the buffer is not anticipated with the proposed project. See project drawings from section C4j. Supporting Documentation 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: The proposed project is utilizing an existing access road, and stream crossing, that extends south from Camp Burton Road. The access road is routinely mowed and maintained by the property owner. The cell tower placement was strategically placed outside of the wetlands on the southern portion of the site. Wetland impacts have been avoided by utilizing the existing access road. The need for tree clearing has also been minimized by utilizing the existing access road. Utilizing the existing stream crossing location, additional impacts to the stream are avoided. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: The proposed access road and area beneath the cell tower will consist of gravel. Gravel was chosen because it doesn't add any impervious surface to the site. A double row of silt fencing will be placed on the upland side of the perennial stream to reduce sedimentation during development. A temporary inlet protection device will be installed into the stream to reduce sedimentation during the culvert replacement and improvement of the existing stream crossing. Additional potential impacts to aquatic resources or respected buffers on site from construction activities are not anticipated. 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 is utilizing an existing access road that is routinely mowed. The existing stream crossing and culvert was put in place by the property owner. At the direction of the USACE, Ramaker (consultant to cell tower developer) is replacing the poorly functioning culvert to improve stream flow. Gravel will be used for the proposed access road which will maintain permeability. F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) u 1. Diffuse Flow Plan 1a.

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 01/02/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-00962 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/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratory birds/CurrentBirdlssues/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. 01/02/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-00962 Attachment(s): • Official Species List 01/02/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-00962 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".

An existing stream crossing on the central portion of the site will be improved to allow for construction and maintenance of the cell tower facility. Project Location: Approximate location of the project can be viewed in Google Maps: https: www.google.com/maps/place/36.1147281195935lN79.70845808293197W Q4n," Counties: Guilford, NC 01/02/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-00962 3 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 Fisheriesi, 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 office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the Department of Commerce.

May Site 9-Step Process McLeansville, Guilford County, North Carolina Headwater Project #201921 B Step 1: Action Area To determine the action area, mark the project footprint on a topographic map. Identify the range of impacts such as; ground disturbance, changes in water quality and quantity, air quality, lighting effects, and noise disturbance. The proposed cell tower will be located on the southern portion of the site. An existing stream crossing will be improved as part of the project. A stream is located within a wooded area on the central portion of the site. A wetland surrounds the stream and extends south into the grassy field. Silt fencing shall be used to minimize sediment laden stormwater runoff during construction. Therefore, adverse impacts to the streams or ditches are not anticipated. Step 2: Species List Use the USFWS Information, Planning, and Consultation (IPaC) system to determine if any listed, proposed, or candidate species may be present in the action area. Headwater utilized the IPaC system to obtain a copy of the federally listed threatened and endangered species for Guilford County. A copy of the official species list is enclosed with this report. Additionally, a query of the USFWS threatened and endangered species by county was completed. Based on our assessment of the on -site conditions, Headwater did not identify areas of potential habitat for the federally listed threatened and endangered species. Step 3. State Coordination Determine whether a documented occurrence of any listed, proposed, or candidate species is within the action area by contacting the NHP. On January 2, 2020, Headwater performed a query of the NHP database. Headwater's query of the NHP database indicated there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the project boundary. Step 4: Suitable Habitat Determine whether listed/proposed/candidate species may occur based on the habitat present within the action area for each species on the species conclusion table. Review the species information provided in IPaC, and the information provided by NHP, to determine whether the action area contains suitable habitat for each species. A review of the federally listed threatened and endangered species is detailed on pages 3 and 4 of this report. Based on our assessment of the on -site conditions, Headwater did not identify areas of potential habitat for the federally listed threatened and endangered species. According to NHP, there are no biological occurrences mapped within the site boundary. Step 5: Critical Habitat There is no critical habitat present within the action area. Step 6: Eagle Protection The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is protected by the Bald and Golden Eagles Protection Act (the Eagle Act). The Eagle Act protects the bald from take and disturbance. An adult bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalu) has a white head, white tail, and large yellow bill; the remaining plumage is dark brown. Immature individuals are generally dark brown with light splotching. Bald eagles are a large bird of prey with a five to seven -foot wingspan. Breeding and roosting habitat is generally located near large bodies of water; such as, coastal areas, bays, rivers, lakes, etc. The bald eagle constructs large nests in tall mature trees or cliffs. Tree species vary greatly and include pines and hardwoods. The same nest may be used year after year. Winter roost sites vary in their proximity to food sources. Bald eagles are an adaptable species, and their habitat can be found throughout the United States. Headwater did not observe bald eagle roosts, nor is there sufficient feeding grounds for the bald eagle within the proposed action area. Step 7: Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) The USFWS: Raleigh Field Office requires this species be taken into consideration due to relatively recent rise of "white nose syndrome" in this bat population. The northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) is 3 to 3.7 inches long with a wingspan of nine to 10 inches. They are dark brown, with a pale underside. As its name suggests, this bat distinguishes itself by its long ears. In winter, the northern long-eared bats spend winter in caves and mines. In summer, the northern long-eared bat roosts underneath bark and cavities of trees. This bat has also been found roosting in barns and sheds. Northern long-eared bats emerge at dusk to feed. They primarily fly through the understory of forested areas feeding on moths, flies, leafhoppers, caddisflies, and beetles, which they catch while in flight using echolocation or by gleaning motionless insects from vegetation. According to USFWS records, the NLEB is not known to be present in Guilford County. Wooded land is located on the central portion of the site. Potential roost trees are present within the wooded area. Step 8: Determinations Refer to Species Conclusion table on the following page. Step 9: Project Review Package A courtesy copy of our Biological Assessment has been provided to the USFWS. Additional correspondence with the USFWS is not warranted at this time.

May Site, 201921B Dear Nick Creidler: 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.
