4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
4.31 AC
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
2100 LF
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to construct three (3) access roads and install infrastructure that will support the proposed 85 lot subdivision, to be called Meridian Forest. Additionally,
improvement of the existing earthen causeway, is needed to support the use of the road, by large machinery, such as dump trucks, during the construction process.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project will consist of permanently impacting 0.058 AC of Section 404, riparian wetlands, and 102 linear feet of warm water stream, as well temporarily impacting 10 LF of stream.
Wetland Impact Area 1 will entail installing one (1) 50' 18" Class III RCP, with 9' x 6' Class II riprap energy dissipater, and Wetland Impact Area 2 will entail installing one (1) 55' of 24"
Class III RCP, with 9' x 6' riprap dissipater. Each culvert will be covered with clean earthen fill, with 3:1 slopes. Stream Impact Area 1 entails installing two (2) Temporary Rock Check
Dams, one upstream and one downstream of the proposed crossing area, prior to installing one (1) 51' of 30" Class III RCP and 9' x 6' energy dissipater, on the downstream side. Wing
walls will then be installed and clean earthen filled used to create the roadbed. Once the crossing is completed, the upstream rock check dam will be removed and the stream bed
returned to its original grade and contour, While the downstream check dam will be replaced with the energy dissipater. Lastly, replacement of the existing 25' of 24" RCP, which has
been compromised over the years and is not operating as intended, with two (2) 25' of 48" Class III RCP, will take place. Doing this provoked the need to install a 19' x 12' energy
dissipater, on the down stream side of the culverts. Please refer to site plans for details of the proposed work.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation u
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The Applicant avoided impacts by (1) aligning roads, where crossing through wetlands and the stream, as perpendicular as possible to the features;
(2) redesigning Shadow Branch Court, now called Burled Oak Ridge Loop, so that it extends all the way through the wetland feature, which reduced
impact at this location by 0.03 acre; (3) left approbmately 1.5-acres of upland undeveloped, (4) designed the lots so that every lot could be built
without impacting wetlands; (5) terminated Meridian Forest Dr. prior to crossing the main stream feature, thereby avoiding approArnately 0.13-acre of
impact to the Swamp Forest, and 75 LF of impact to the warm water stream; and (6) incorporated wing walls into Stream Impact Area 1, which reduced
the impact to the stream by 68 LF, and the two wetland crossing, reducing impacts there by 0.025-acre. In total the Applicant reduced wetland impacts
by 0.185-acre and stream impacts by 143 LF.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The Applicant has chosen to leave the lots wooded, except for the area of the building footprint, thus significantly reducing the amount of disturbed
area for the project. Lots will be cleared as they are sold and select trees will be left in place. Additionally, sediment and erosion control measures,
such as silt fence, check dams and sediment traps will be installed prior to starting the road and utility work. Lastly, work within the streams will not take
place within 48 hours before or after a rain event that produces more than 1" of rainfall within a 24 hour period. Once work within the stream has taken
place, any temporarily disturbed areas will be lined with jute mat and allowed to revegetate naturally.
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

2c. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply):
F DWR W Corps
2d. If yes, which mitigation option(s) will be used for this project?
W Mitigation bank r Payment to in -lieu fee F Permittee Responsible
program Mitigation
3. Complete if Using a Mitigation Bank
3a. Name of Mitigation Bank:
LCFUMB
3b. Credits Purchased/Requested (attach receipt and letter)
Type: Quantity:
Riparian wetland 0.10 AC
Attach Receipt and/or letter
3c. Comments
The Applicant is proposing to offset the loss of 0.058-acre of riparian wetland functions with payment to the Lower Cape Fear Umbrella Mitigation
Bank, for 0.10-acre of riparian wetland restoration credit. This is a 1.7:1 mitigation to impact ratio. The Applicant and SEGi believe, the purchase of
0.10-acre of wetland restoration credit, in conjunction with the avoidance and minimization efforts the Applicant has incorporated into the plan, meets
the USACE's compensatory mitigation requirements.

Hey Dana,
The coordinates far the intermittent pornt taken yesterday (1016/2020) was: 33.9923,-7&2107.
As discussed, this intermittent stream leads down gradient into a wetland area, which abuts a perennial stream (tJT to the Lockwoods Foily River).
Thanks,

Project Name: Meridian Forest
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. 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

11/13/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-00499
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/migratorybirds/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 [e-mail].

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 14 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.
