D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The project has been designed to avoid impacts to jurisdictional Waters of the US to the maximum extent practicable. Impacts
associated with two stream crossings are only proposed for access to high ground for an internal subdivision road as well as a
walking path to access common open space. Crossings have been designed to utilize headwalls and riprap energy dissipators
and have been located in relatively straight sections of the respective tributaries in order to minimize impacts as much as
possible.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The project will be constructed under an approved sediment and erosion control plan in order to ensure that materials
incidental to construction activites are not transported into downstream receiving waters. Riprap aprons will be pressed into
the stream channel at the existing grade to ensure that hydrologic function and aquatic and life passage is maintained.
Following construction temporary impact areas for construction access and pump -around will be returned to pre -construction
grades and dimensions.

RE: Villages at Creedmore
Dear Meagan Jolly:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
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 documented within the project area or 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:
httos://www.fws.goy/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.
Also please note that 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 an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented
near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler(a)ncdcr.aov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,

RE: Threatened and Endangered Species Evaluation
Villages at Creedmore Project
Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC
PIN: 05548101, 05548106
Mr. MacNaughton,
Wetlands & Waters, Inc. (W&W) has completed a cursory evaluation of the above referenced property
assemblage (hereafter referred to as "review area") for the purposes of determining the presence or
absence of Federal threatened and endangered species and the presence of suitable habitat for those
species. Evaluation of the review area included a desktop review for known species and critical habitat
occurrences within or in close proximity to the project area, field reviews of known extant populations of
rare species prior to onsite field surveys, and onsite field surveys designed to evaluate potentially suitable
habitat and occurrences of species known to exist in Mecklenburg County. Should future project -related
impacts be necessary, this report may be used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (or other Lead
Federal Agency) to determine if additional coordination will be required to satisfy requirements of the
Endangered Species Act.
The review area is located south of Elgin Drive and east of Interstate-485 in northwest Charlotte, NC.
Figure 1 depicts the review area for the purpose of this report.
All potentially suitable habitat for Federal listed species known to occur in Mecklenburg County was
evaluated for species occurrences. Field surveys were performed November 6, 2020. Photographs
documenting reference populations and existing site conditions are included in Attachment A. No Federal
threatened or endangered species were identified in the review area, and no designated Critical Habitat
occurs within the review area. The following report details the resources and methodologies used to make
this determination.
References and Pre -Survey Protocol
W&W referenced the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) list of Endangered, Threatened, and
Candidate Species known to occur in Mecklenburg County, NC (Table 1) and utilized the USFWS
Information for Planning and Consultation (lPaC) system to generate an official species list (Attachment
B) to identify threatened and endangered species and proposed and final designated critical habitat that
may occur within the review area and/or may be affected by proposed development within the review
area. Additionally, the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database (Attachment C) was
consulted to identify natural heritage resources within or in close proximity to the review area.
Collectively, these resources were used to develop limiting criteria for the field evaluation.

Prior to conducting field evaluations, W&W staff review USFWS published data to validate diagnostic
characteristics for the subject species. When practical, known populations of Federal threatened and
endangered species are referenced in a non -intrusive manner for confirmation of seasonal growth
progress, diagnostic features, and behavioral characteristics.
Species and Habitat Descriptions
Following are abbreviated habitat descriptions of species with federal protection listed by USFWS as
potentially occurring in Mecklenburg County, NC. Additional species fact sheets are available at the
client's request.
Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
Bald Eagles require consistent food sources, perching areas, and nesting sites to survive. Their habitat
includes estuaries, large lakes such as Lake Norman and Lake Wylie, reservoirs, rivers such as the
Catawba River, and some coastal areas where there are suitable fish populations to provide a food source.
Nests are typically located in larger trees of a wooded area where open views of the surrounding area are
ample.
Northern Long -Eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis)
Northern Long -Eared Bats are medium sized, with dark brown coloring on the back and tawny on the
underside. The species roosts during summer months singly or in colonies in live or dead trees (e.g. tree
bark, cavities), caves, mines, and infrequently in man-made structures such as barns or sheds, and
hibernates during winter months in caves and mines where temperatures are constant and air currents are
minimal.
Carolina Heelsplitter Lasmigona decorata)
The Carolina Heelsplitter is a freshwater mussel species with final designated critical habitat. The primary
constituent elements of critical habitat for this species include: permanent, flowing, cool, clean water;
geomorphically stable stream and river channels and banks; pool, riffle, and run sequences within the
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA).
2 Current record status indicates the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years.
J Based on NC NHP information, this taxon is considered to be historical in the county, meaning that all recorded occurrences are either
extirpated, have not been found in recent surveys, or have not been surveyed recently enough to be confident that they are still present

channel; stable substrates with no more than low amounts of fine sediment; moderate stream gradient;
periodic natural flooding; and fish hosts, with adequate living, foraging, and spawning areas for them.
Rusty -Patched Bumble Bee (Bombus a nis)
The Rusty -Patched Bumble Bee are seen in areas that provide nectar and pollen from flowering plants,
nesting opportunity underground or in other clumped debris, and overwintering sites for hibernation
where soils remain undisturbed. The long flight season of the Rusty -Patched Bumble Bee, from March or
April through October, require that the species have access to diverse flowering plants that can provide
nectar and pollen throughout this period. The species typically forages within 0.6 miles of their nests,
which are commonly associated with areas that contain natural and semi -natural upland grassland,
shrubland, woodlands, and forests. This species is considered a historic occurrence in Mecklenburg
County.
Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxii)
Michaux's Sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods areas in association with basic soils, where land
disturbance has provided an open area, such as in utility or transportation rights -of -way. Periodic fire is
required as part of this species' ecology.
Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii)
Schweinitz's Sunflower occurs in open areas that provide full to partial sun and that typically host poor
soils. As with Michaux's Sumac, Schweinitz's Sunflower is associated with areas that have experienced
land disturbance, where canopy openings provide sunlight and competition from other herbaceous and
woody vine species is minimal. The species is most abundant in unforested, permanently maintained
openings with soils that often are shallow with exposed boulders and bedrock.
Smooth Coneflower (Echinacea laevigata)
The Smooth Coneflower is found in Piedmont regions of the US and is typically associated with areas
receiving full sunlight with calcium and magnesium rich soils. The species is found in open woods, cedar
barrens, roadsides, clear cuts, and powerline rights -of -way, where competition from other herbaceous and
woody vine species is minimal.
Findings
The review area consists of primarily vacant, forested land. A railway and adjacent right-of-way (ROW)
forms the northern review area boundary. The eastern review area boundary abuts contiguous forested
land. An abandoned railway ROW (last in service prior to 2005, based on historic aerials) and adjacent
powerline ROW forms the southern review area boundary. The western review area terminates at the
ROW of Interstate-485. A sanitary sewer easement, constructed within the last two years, dissects the
central review area from north to south. Land use in the general vicinity consists of residential (low- and
high -density), institutional, vacant woodlands, and agricultural.
Internal forested areas contain small canopy openings but is predominantly mature timber. Riparian
habitat includes perennial and intermittent tributaries and wetlands. The typical species composition of
these areas include those listed in the table below.

The database search of the NC NHP indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the review area4, although this
finding appears to be a GIS mapping error. There are no documented element occurrences (of medium to
high accuracy) of species with federal or state protections within the review area. The report lists City of
Charlotte open space, a managed area, as occurring within the review area, however this area is located
directly north of the review area and adjacent railway. Within a one -mile radius of the review area, the
NC NHP report lists a documented occurrence of Schweinitz's Sunflower with high accuracy, last
observed in 2013. A natural area and several other managed areas are also listed as occurring within a
one -mile radius of the review area.
W&W did not identify previously unidentified populations of Federal threatened or endangered species
within the review area. Following are species -specific survey results.
Bald Eagle: The NC NHP report indicates that there are no known occurrences of this species
within a one -mile radius of the review area. The review area provides a mature tree canopy that
may be suitable for the Bald Eagle but lacks proximate sources of abundant prey, such as large
bodies of water. The site is located approximately 4.75 miles from the Catawba River, which
appears to a the closest consistent food source. W&W did not observe evidence of established
nests or previously unknown populations of the species within the review area.
• Northern Long -Eared Bat: The review area provides a mature tree canopy that may be suitable for
use by the species; however, as confirmed hibernation and maternity sites for this species
currently exclude Mecklenburg County, it is possible that potential future project plans may
qualify for exemption criteria under the Final 4(d) rule, particularly if no tree removal is
proposed. W&W did not observe occurrences of the species during the field review.
• Carolina Heelsplitter: The NC NHP report indicates that there are no known occurrences of this
species within a one -mile radius of the review area. A perennial tributary within the review area
may provide potentially suitable habitat for the species based on flow regime. However, the
review area lies outside of the final designated critical habitat for this species therefore it would
not be expected to occur on the site.
• Rusty -Patched Bumble Bee: The NC NHP report indicates that there are no known occurrences of
this species within a one -mile radius of the review area. Flowering herbaceous species within
' Although there may be no NC NIP documentation of Federal listed species within the review area, it does not imply or confirm their absence;
the area may not have been surveyed previously.

early successional areas may provide suitable foraging opportunities for the species. W&W did
not observe evidence of established nests or previously unknown populations of the species
within the review area.
• Michaux's Sumac: The NC NHP report indicates that there are no known occurrences of this
species within a one -mile radius of the review area. Potentially suitable habitat onsite is limited to
disturbed areas along and within ROWS, clearings and canopy openings, and forest edges.
Herbicide application within powerline ROWS likely degrades suitability of those areas to support
the species. W&W evaluated all possible habitat for Michaux's Sumac within the review area but
did not discover previously unknown populations of the species.
• Schweinitz's Sunflower: The NC NHP report indicates that there is a known occurrence of this
species within a one -mile radius of the review area. Reference populations were consulted on
August 17 and August 27, 2020 to confirm regional growth patterns for identification of the
species. Potentially suitable habitat onsite is limited to disturbed areas along and within ROWs,
clearings and canopy openings, and forest edges. W&W observed small populations of
Helianthus species within the powerline ROW of the southern review area; diagnostic criteria
including lack of tubers definitively eliminate Helianthus schweinitzii, while rays (8) and
involucres size indicate H. microcephalus. W&W did not discover previously unknown
populations of the species within the review area.
• Smooth Coneflower: The NC NHP report indicates that there are no known occurrences of this
species within a one -mile radius of the review area. Potentially suitable habitat onsite is limited to
areas along and within ROWs, clearings and canopy openings, and forest edges where the
herbaceous stratum contains lower density of competing species. W&W evaluated all possible
habitat for Smooth Coneflower within the review area but did not discover previously unknown
populations of the species.
Recommendations
Should future project plans necessitate impacts to Clean Water Act Section 404 regulated features or
acquisition of a federal permit from another agency, W&W recommends coordination with the lead
federal agency or, under some circumstances, USFWS, to assess potential project -mediated impacts to
federally protected species. The results of this survey can be supplied during federal permitting processes
to support species effect determinations per Endangered Species Act requirements. Additionally, a
document provided by the regional USFWS office identifies the Optimal Survey Window and number of
years a survey is valid for plant species with state and federal protections in North Carolina (Attachment
D). The USFWS has indicated that surveys conducted for federal threatened and endangered plants
outside of the Optimal Survey Window are insufficient, which has the potential to result in significant
project delays if a federal permit is required. W&W can assist with determining an effective strategy to
address potential permitting issues and efficient timing.
This concludes our assessment of the presence or absence of Federal threatened and endangered species
and the presence of suitable habitat for those species. Should you require more information regarding the
results of our evaluation, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Consultation Code: 04EN1000-2021-SLI-0089
Event Code: 04EN1000-2021-E-00195
Project Name: Villages at Creedmoore
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 attached species list 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. Although not required by
section 7, many agencies request species lists to start the informal consultation process and begin
their fulfillment of the requirements under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of
1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
This list, along with other helpful resources, is also available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) Asheville Field Office's (AFO) website: https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/
cntylist/nc counties.html. The AFO website list includes "species of concern" species that could
potentially be placed on the federal list of threatened and endangered species in the future. Also
available are:

11/11/2020 Event Code: 04EN1000-2021-E-00195
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could require modifications of these lists.
Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act,
the accuracy of the species lists 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 or the AFO website (the AFO website dates each
county list with the day of the most recent update/change) 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 or by going to the AFO website.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a Biological
Evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12 and on our office's website
at https://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmis/project review/assessment guidance.html.
If a Federal agency (or their non-federal representative) determines, based on the Biological
Assessment or Biological Evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be
affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to
50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species, and
proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the
regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license
applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://
www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-librgI3L/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF.
Though the bald eagle is no longer protected under the Endangered Species Act, 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 additional consultation (see
https://www.fws.gov/southeast/our-services/permits/eagles/). Wind energy projects should follow
the wind energy guidelines (httD://www.fws.pov/windenergy/j for minimizing impacts to
migratory birds (including bald and golden eagles) 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/migratory birds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm;

11/11/2020 Event Code: 04EN1000-2021-E-00195
http://www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/
towers/comtow.html.
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.

Migratory Birds
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act! and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Acts.
Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to
migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and consider
implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below.
1. The Migratory Birds Treaty Act of 1918.
2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940.
3. 50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)
The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the USFWS
Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your project location.
To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this list is generated, see
the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location, nor a guarantee that
every bird on this list will be found in your project area. To see exact locations of where birders
and the general public have sighted birds in and around your project area, visit the E-bird data
mapping tool (Tip: enter your location, desired date range and a species on your list). For
projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing the relative
occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list are available. Links to additional
information about Atlantic Coast birds, and other important information about your migratory
bird list, including how to properly interpret and use your migratory bird report, can be found
below.
For guidance on when to schedule activities or implement avoidance and minimization measures
to reduce impacts to migratory birds on your list, click on the PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE
SUMMARY at the top of your list to see when these birds are most likely to be present and
breeding in your project area.
NAME BREEDING SEASON
Wood Thrush Hylocichla mustelina Breeds May 10 to Aug 31
This is a Bird of Conservation Concern (BCC) throughout its range in the
continental USA and Alaska.
Probability Of Presence Summary
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be
present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project
activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the

11/11/2020 Event Code: 04EN1000-2021-E-00195
FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting
to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence (E)
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week
months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see
below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher
confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in
the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for
that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee
was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is
0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence
in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12
(0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on
week 12 is 0.25/0.25 =1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the
probability of presence score.
Breeding Season (�. )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across
its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project
area.
Survey Effort (1)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of
surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
No Data (—)
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on
all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Migratory Birds FAQ
Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts
to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize
impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly
important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in
the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very
helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding
in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures and/or
permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of
infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified
location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern
BCC and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian
Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding,
and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as
occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as
warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act
requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.

11/11/2020 Event Code: 04EN1000-2021-E-00195
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your
project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list
of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data
provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing
collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets .
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information
becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and
how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me
about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my
project area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding,
wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab
of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of
interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your
migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your
project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds
elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern
throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation
Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on
your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles)
potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities
(e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made,
in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC
species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can
implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles,
please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects

11/11/2020 Event Code: 04EN1000-2021-E-00195
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species
and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the
Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides
birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird
model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical
Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use
throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this
information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of
birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for
identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC
use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location'. Please be
aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no
data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey
effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you
know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement
conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,
should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell
me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

RE: Villages at Creedmore
Dear Meagan Jolly:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
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 documented within the project area or 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:
httUs://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.
Also please note that 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 an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented
near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod nev.butlerna ncdcr.aov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

No Element Occurrences are Documented within the Project Area
There are no documented element occurrences (of medium to very high accuracy) that intersect with the project area. Please note, however, that althou
NCNHP database does not show records for rare species within the project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present; it may simply me
the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if needed, particularly if the
area contains suitable habitat for rare species. If rare species are found, the NCNHP would appreciate receiving this information so that we may update c
database.

OTHER NOTES:
These survey windows were determined from species recovery plans, field observations, herbaria specimens, and
NC Natural Heritage Program information. For additional information about these species, please visit the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service Asheville Field Office webpage at https://www.fws.gov/asheville/ or the Raleigh Field Office
webpage at https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/.
If suitable habitat for species is present in the proposed impact area, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will likely
request species surveys, conducted by a qualified biologist, during the optimal survey window. Projects are
reviewed on a case -by -case basis and you are encouraged to contact a Section 7 coordinator early in the project
planning process. To discuss your project and survey requirements with a Section 7 coordinator, please contact the
Asheville Field Office at 828-258-3939 or the Raleigh Field Office at 919-856-4520
