(S&ME) hereby submits this notification to inform you of work they plan to conduct in accordance with Nationwide Permit (NWP) 12 and the corresponding North Carolina Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 4133. The project entails emergency repair and relocation activities associated with a segment of natural gas pipeline in Hoke County, North Carolina, and will involve no loss of waters of the U.S. The application and accompanying support information is being submitted through the NCDWR E-PCN website (https:Hedocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/Pre-Construction_ Notification_Form\). The supporting information submitted online consists of the following: Figures: Site Vicinity Exhibit (Figure 1), USGS Topographic Map Exhibit (Figure 2), Hoke County Soil Survey Exhibit (Figure 3) and Impact Exhibit (Figure 4) Jurisdictional Delineation Information Site Photographs Agent Authorization Form Easement Exhibit (RLS Surveying & Consulting) HDD Plan and Profile Drawings (Stimmel Associates) NCNHP and FWS IPaC Reports Mitigation Credit Availability Letter General Restoration Plan Inadvertent Return Contingency Plan S&ME, INC. / 9751 Southern Pine Blvd / Charlotte, NC 28273 / p 704.523.4726 f 704.525.3953 / www.smeinc.com = a Pre -Construction Notification Line 5 Section 1 Emergency HDD— Rockfish Creek III Hoke County, North Carolina EEL- S&ME Project No. 7335-20-104 A copy of this PCN is being provided to the N.C. Division of Water Resources as a courtesy. The project as proposed should comply with the relevant conditions of General Water Quality Certification No. 4133, and as such, does not require pre -construction written approval. The activities described in this submittal will not result in permanent placement of dredged or fill material or loss of waters of the U.S. However, approximately 0.22 acre of forested wetlands will be converted to herbaceous wetlands to accommodate a new portion of permanently maintained easement (Figure 4). In addition, approximately 0.20 acre of herbaceous wetlands located within the existing easement may be temporarily impacted for placement of timber equipment mats such that logging equipment can access the proposed new easement and remove the timber. General Project Information PNG is planning to relocate a damaged segment of the Line 5 natural gas transmission pipeline. The segment of gas line that will be replaced is located north of Arabia Road and south of Pittman Grove Church Road in Hoke County, North Carolina (34.950169°N /-79.063565°W). The location of the project area is depicted on the attached figures. The damaged segment of pipe will be abandoned in place, and a new pipe will be installed next to the old one by horizontal directional drill (HDD). Use of HDD will allow for avoidance of direct impacts to Rockfish Creek and the adjacent wetlands. Existing Environment The project area consists of PNG's existing 50-foot wide permanently maintained easement and adjacent forested wetland area. The wetlands consist of periodically inundated riverine swamp forest that abuts the run of Rockfish Creek. Additional temporary workspace to accommodate the drilling equipment will be located in higher ground areas on both sides of the wetlands. Topography in the area generally slopes gently towards the creek and its floodplain, but more steeply on the south side of the creek than the north. Within and near wetter portions of the site, overstory vegetation included swamp blackgum (Nysso sylvatica v. biflora), red maple (Ater rubrum) and occasional bald cypress (Taxodium distichum). Species observed in portions of the proposed easement where standing water was not present included red maple, tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Mid -story vegetation included Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), sweetgum and sweet bay (Magnolia virginica). Understory vegetation included giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea), soft rush (Juncus effusus), cinnamon fern (Osmundastrum cinnamomeum), and shallow sedge (Carex lurida). Vines included laurel -leaved catbriar (Smilax laurifolia) and poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans). Adjacent upland vegetation included loblolly pine (Pinus toedo), American holly (Ilex opaca), Chinese privet and sweetgum. Vines included muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia), catbriar (S. rotundifolia) and yellowjasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens). Pre -Construction Notification Line 5 Section 1 Emergency HDD— Rockfish Creek Hoke County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 7335-20-104 According to the Hoke County Soil Survey (Figure 3), soils mapped in the project area primarily include Blaney loamy sand, Gilead loamy sand, Johnston loam, Lakeland sand and Pactolus loamy sand. Johnston loam is classified hydric. Rockfish Creek flows through the southern portion of the project area. Rockfish Creek is a perennial tributary and, at this location, consists of a typical meandering, sand bed coastal plain swamp stream with a braided pattern and an indefinitely defined bed and bank. On October 1, 2020, S&ME personnel visited the proposed project site to delineate jurisdictional surface waters located therein. We followed the procedures set forth in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual. The project is located in the Coastal Plain physiographic province. Conditions were documented using USACE Routine Wetland Determination Data Forms, as appropriate. One wetland area (WA) that abuts both sides of Rockfish Creek was delineated (Figure 4). A majority of WA was characterized as a Coastal Plain riverine swamp forest. The wetland exhibited both areas of apparent semi -permanent inundation and drier areas where standing water was not present and facultative vegetation was dominant. Soils within the wetland areas were hydric and exhibited the presence of muck and a depleted matrix. Additional wetland hydrologic indicators observed included water -stained leaves, water marks and crayfish burrows. Information relative to the delineation and photographs of typical conditions observed within the project area are included in the information submitted online. Description of the Proposed Work and Impacts To install the new pipe, the HDD rig will be staged on the south side of the swamp. Temporary workspace will be established in higher ground to accommodate the rig and stage the pipe. Ground disturbance from minor grading, leveling of workspace and establishment of staging and stockpile areas should be limited to higher ground areas in this area. The HDD rig will begin drilling a pilot hole north to the new easement area established adjacent to the existing easement. Different drill heads will then be used to widen the pilot hole to a diameter sufficient to accommodate the new pipe. Specialized fluid will be pumped into and circulated through the hole in order to prevent its collapse prior to pipe insertion. The pipe that will be used for the new line will be staged and strung in the existing easement in the northern portion of the project area. The pipe segments will be welded together and inspected for structural integrity, and then will be pulled through the hole drilled by the HDD rig. Once the pipe is pulled through, both ends will be welded to the existing pipe, and the old segment of pipe will be retired. An Inadvertent Return (IR) contingency Plan is included with the information submitted online. Vegetation removal within the new easement will require that mechanized timbering equipment work in the wetland area. Equipment will work on 16-foot wide equipment mats staged along the eastern edge of the existing easement, and timber will be hauled from the wetland and properly disposed of at a permitted landfill. Areas within the proposed permanently maintained corridor that will be cleared of aboveground woody vegetation will be maintained in an herbaceous state. Additional temporary workspaces to be cleared will be seeded and allowed to naturally re -vegetate. Appropriate erosion and 3 =0 Pre -Construction Notification Line 5 Section 1 Emergency HDD— Rockfish Creek Hoke County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 7335-20-104 sediment control practices outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual" and approved by the local governing authority will be installed to help prevent sedimentation of jurisdictional features as a result of the work. Placement of some sediment and erosion control measures may be required in the wetland area during logging operations, but will not exceed the footprint of the permitted disturbance limits. Project -wide, approximately 0.22 acre of forested wetlands will be permanently converted to herbaceous wetlands, and an additional 0.20 acre will be temporarily impacted for equipment access. The wetland impacts associated with the proposed project will result first from clearing and temporary placement of timber equipment mats and targeted stump removal, if necessary, to provide a level work surface and prevent extensive rutting. Following clearing, the new easement will be permanently maintained. Impacts to Rockfish Creek are not anticipated, as logging equipment will either avoid the stream by working within the adjacent area from the north and south or construct of a temporary equipment bridge that will span the active channel. Following construction, temporarily disturbed wetlands within the easement will be restored to their original grades and contours and seeded with a native wetland seed mix. There should be no loss of waters, as only conversion and temporary ground disturbance from equipment access and logging operations will be required. Protected Species To comply with applicable sections of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543), S&ME conducted a search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database to identify element occurrences (EOs) of such species listed as potentially occurring near the project corridor. An October 5, 2020 report generated from the findings of the NCNHP database review indicated that there are no documented occurrences of federally -protected species within one mile of the project area. S&ME also consulted the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) website to obtain a list of federally protected species that may be present within the county. Review of the IPaC report identified the following documented occurrences of federally protected species in Hoke County as summarized in Table 1: Table 1: Federally -Protected Species Summary Common Name Red -cockaded woodpecker Scientific Name Picoides borealis Federal Status E County Status Current American alligator Alligator mississippiensis T(S/A) Current Saint Francis' Satyr Butterfly Neonympho mitchellii francisci E Current American chaffseed Schwalbea americana E Current Michaux's sumac Rhus michauxii E Current Rough -leaved loosestrife Lysimachia asperulaefolia E Current E= Endangered ; T = Threatened ; T(S/A) = Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance 4 = a Pre -Construction Notification Line 5 Section 1 Emergency HDD— Rockfish Creek III Hoke County, North Carolina r` S&ME Project No. 7335-20-104 Copies of the NCNHP and IPaC database reports are included in the information submitted online. Following project scoping and literature review, S&ME conducted a field assessment for the presence of federally protected terrestrial species listed in Table 1. Descriptions of the species obtained from the available online USFWS species descriptions, or as noted otherwise, are provided below. Red -cockaded Woodpecker Biological Determination: No Effect Red -cockaded woodpecker measure approximately seven inches long and have black and white horizontal stripes on its back. The cheeks and underparts are white, and the sides are streaked in black. The cap and stripe on the throat and neck of the bird are black. Male individuals of the species have a small red spot on each side of the black cap and display a red crown patch after the first post -fledgling molt. The woodpecker's diet consists primarily of insects. Red -cockaded woodpecker's range is closely linked to the distribution of mature stands of southern pines. Longleaf and loblolly pines that are 60 years old or greater are most commonly selected for nesting and roosting trees. The woodpecker excavates nest and roost cavities in trees that are stressed, and often are infected with red -heart rot fungus. Preferred nesting sites generally include relatively open, park -like, mature pine stands with a suppressed mid -story layer. Suppression of the mid -story by fire or mechanical means in mature pine stands promotes colonization by the red -cockaded woodpecker. Foraging habitat is frequently limited to pine or pine -hardwood stands that are 30 years old or greater with a preference for pine trees with a diameter of 10 inches or larger. Dense hardwood mid -story hampers foraging by red - cockaded wood -pecker and increases the occurrence of cavity competitors. The USFWS indicates that the maxi -mum foraging radius from a colony site for red -cockaded woodpecker's is typically one-half mile or less. The project area was visually assessed for the presence of potential red -cockaded woodpecker foraging and nesting habitat during the October 1, 2020 field review. The project area is located within and adjacent to forested land that consists largely of hardwood species. No large stands of pine that were mature enough to contain suitable nesting habitat for the red -cockaded woodpecker were observed. Given the lack of suitable habitat within the project area and the limited work that will occur there, the red -cockaded woodpecker should not be affected as a result of this project. American Alligator Biological Determination: N/A The American alligator is listed as Threatened by the federal government because of its similarity in appearance to the American crocodile (Crocody(us ocutus), which is currently limited to between 500 and 1,200 individuals in the United States, limited in range to the southern tip of Florida. Because American alligator is listed under similarity of appearance, it is not biologically endangered and not subject to section 7 consultation. 5 -a Saint Francis' Satyr Butterfly Pre -Construction Notification Line 5 Section 1 Emergency HDD— Rockfish Creek Hoke County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 7335-20-104 Biological Conclusion: No Effect Saint Francis' satyr is a small, dark brown butterfly. The wingspan for the species ranges from 34 to 44 millimeters. Saint Francis' satyr has conspicuous "eye spots" on the lower surfaces of the wings. These eye spots have a dark maroon -brown center, and within the eye spots are lighter opalescent patches that reflect a silver cast. The border of these dark eye spots is straw -yellow in color, with an outermost border of dark brown. The eye spots are usually round to slightly oval and are well -developed on the fore wing as well as on the hind wing. The spots are accented by two bright orange bands along the posterior wing edges and two somewhat darker orange -brown bands across the central portion of each wing. Habitat for this species consists primarily of wide, wet meadows dominated by a high diversity of sedges along small stream corridors. These meadows are often remnants of beaver activity and/or periodic wildfires. Additionally, subpopulations of the satyr occur in artillery ranges on Ft. Bragg where the lack of roads, frequent fires, and beavers have allowed butterfly habitats to persist. The project area does not consist of suitable habitat for this species. Accordingly, the project is not expected to impact Saint Francis' Satyr Butterfly. Michaux's Sumac Biological Determination: No Effect Michaux's sumac is a non-poisonous, low -growing, deciduous, densely hairy shrub. The erect stems grow from an underground rhizome to a height of one to three feet. The compound leaves are alternate and divided into long rows of 9 to13 stalkless leaflets. The leaflets are 1.6 to 3.5 inches long, oblong, winged at the base, dull on the top, hairy on the bottoms, with toothed edges. The terminal leaflet has a two inch long winged petiole. Flowers grow at the top of the plant in a dense, erect cluster, colored greenish - yellow to white, and are four -to five -parted. Fruit are hairy reddish drupes, each containing one seed. Leaves emerge in April to May, flowering occurs April to June, and fruiting occurs August to October with fruits persisting for several months. These plants are generally dioecious. Michaux sumac has been known to produce male flowers one year and female flowers the next. Other individuals are monoecious with both male and female flowers at one time. Usually less than half of the stems in a subpopulation do not flower in a given season. Even though fruit may be plentiful, seed viability is low. This may be a result of self -incompatibility or hybridization with other Rhus. This species usually produces asexually from thick, shallow horizontal rhizomes. Michaux sumac prefers sandy, loamy swales and depressions, acidic and circumneutral uplands, and rocky open woods. It grows best where disturbance has maintained an open area. Michaux sumac has been found along roadsides, in powerline clearings, and areas where forest canopies have been opened up by blowdowns and/or hurricane damage. Episodic fires accentuate habitat for this species and reduce hardwood encroachment, recycle nutrients, and aid regeneration of longleaf pine/wiregrass communities. N. Pre -Construction Notification Line 5 Section 1 Emergency HDD— Rockfish Creek III Hoke County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 7335-20-104 Pedestrian field review for Michaux's sumac was conducted within the project corridor on October 1, 2020, when this species is fully -leafed out and identifiable by vegetative characteristics. No individuals or populations of this species were observed. American Chaff seed Biological Determination: No Effect American chaffseed is an erect, densely hairy, unbranched perennial, one -to -two feet tall. Leaves are alternate, 0.8-1.6 inches tall and 0.2-0.4 inch wide, and attach directly to the stalk without a leaf stem. Each leaf has three noticeable veins. Its flowers are grouped in a long terminal cluster. Numerous seeds are enclosed in a loose -fitting, sac -like structure that provides the basis for the common name, chaffseed. Showy, insect -pollinated flowers occur in May -June, with fruits maturing in August. The fruit is a brown, dry dehiscent capsule, narrowly oval -shaped, about 0.4 inches long. The seeds are numerous, flat, and winged. Fire appears to be a requirement for long-term viability, strongly affecting the reproductive success by controlling conditions necessary for successful seed germination. American chaffseed occurs in fire -maintained longleaf pine flatwoods and savannas. The project area does not consist of a fire -maintained longleaf pine flatwoods or savannah, and no individuals resembling this species were observed on -site. Based on these results, it is not anticipated that this project will affect populations of American chaffseed. Rough -leaved Loosestrife Biological Determination: No Effect Rough -leaved loosestrife is a perennial, colonial herb growing from a rhizome to heights of one to two feet. Rough -leaved loosestrife flowers from May through June, with yellow flowers. The primary habitat for rough -leaved loosestrife is the transition zone between longleaf pine stands and pond pine pocosins. These areas are dominated by grass and shrubs. This species depends on frequent fire or other disturbance (such as mowing) to decrease competition with more aggressive species. Preferred habitat includes wet areas with peat or organic soils that are poorly drained. The species is crowded out by the absence of fire or other disturbance. The project area does not contain pond pine pocosins or longleaf pine stands, no individuals of this species were observed during the site survey. Accordingly, it is not anticipated that this project will affect populations of rough -leaved loosestrife. Historic Resources To assist you with determination of compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, S&ME conducted a review of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation office GIS database for structures that are eligible for listing within a one -mile radius of the project site. Review of this database indicated that there are no sites eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places within 0.5-mile of the site. We understand that you will handle completion of the Section 106 process. 7 -a Avoidance and Minimization Pre -Construction Notification Line 5 Section 1 Emergency HDD— Rockfish Creek Hoke County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 7335-20-104 Impacts will be minimized by PNG's use of HDD to install the new pipe. Impacts will be further minimized by use of appropriate sediment and erosion control measures during construction, and restoration of temporarily -affected areas following completion of the work. Additionally, construction equipment operating within wetlands will be limited to that necessary for clearing and restoration activities. Mitigation The project will not result in a loss of waters of the U.S., but will result in conversion of 0.22 acre of forested wetlands to herbaceous wetlands. We anticipate that mitigation for the conversion impacts will be required at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, PNG proposes to satisfy that requirement through purchase of 0.22 acre of credit in the appropriate HUC (Cape Fear 04) from the NC Division of Mitigation Services (see mitigation availability letter is included in the information submitted online. The project will comply with applicable conditions of NWP No.12 and WQC No. 4133, and will not result in changes in pre -construction elevation contours or affect dimension, pattern or profile of the wetland area or associated creek. Affected portions of the wetland area will be restored in accordance with the attached Restoration Plan following completion of the work. Closing Thank you for your review of this PCN.

Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: To install the new pipe, an HDD rig will be staged on the south side of the swamp. Temporary workspace will be established in higher ground to accommodate the rig and stage the pipe. Ground disturbance from minor grading, leveling of workspace and establishment of staging and stockpile areas should be limited to higher ground areas in this area. The HDD rig will begin drilling a pilot hole north to the new easement area established adjacent to the eAsting easement. Different drill heads will then be used to widen the pilot hole to a diameter sufficient to accommodate the new pipe. Specialized fluid will be pumped into and circulated through the hole in order to prevent its collapse prior to pipe insertion. The pipe that will be used for the new line will be staged and strung in the existing easement in the northern portion of the project area. The pipe segments will be welded together and inspected for structural integrity, and then will be pulled through the hole drilled by the HDD rig. Once the pipe is pulled through, both ends will be welded to the existing pipe, and the old segment of pipe will be retired. An Inadvertent Return (IR) contingency Plan is included with the information submitted online. Vegetation removal within the new easement Will require that mechanized timbering equipment work in the wetland area. Equipment wall work on 16-foot wide equipment mats staged along the eastern edge of the existing easement, and timber wall be hauled from the wetland and properly disposed of at a permitted landfill. Areas within the proposed permanently maintained corridor that will be cleared of aboveground woody vegetation will be maintained in an herbaceous state. Additional temporary workspaces to be cleared will be seeded and allowed to naturally re -vegetate. Appropriate erosion and sediment control practices outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual" and approved by the local governing authority will be installed to help prevent sedimentation of jurisdictional features as a result of the work. Placement of some sediment and erosion control measures may be required in the wetland area during logging operations, but wall not exceed the footprint of the permitted disturbance limits. Project -vide, approximately 0.22 acre of forested wetlands will be permanently converted to herbaceous wetlands, and an additional 0.20 acre will be temporarily impacted for equipment access. The wetland impacts associated with the proposed project will result first from clearing and temporary placement of timber equipment mats and targeted stump removal, if necessary, to provide a level work surface and prevent extensive rutting. Following clearing, the new easement will be permanently maintained. Impacts to Rockfish Creek are not anticipated, as logging equipment will either avoid the stream by working within the adjacent area from the north and south or construct of a temporary equipment bridge that will span the active channel.

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 10/05/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-00034 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. 10/05/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-00034 Attachment(s): • Official Species List 10/05/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-00034 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".

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.

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.
