Re: THREATENED & ENDANGERED SPECIES REPORT
FTCC, Cumberland County Fire and Rescue Training Center (+/- 30.4 acres)
775 Tom Starling Road, Fayetteville, Cumberland County, NC
Dear Richard Lee:
On November 5, 2020, Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA (S&EC) evaluated the FTCC,
Cumberland County Fire and Rescue Training Center project shown on the attached maps for potential
endangered species. The property is located at 775 Tom Starling Road in Cumberland County, NC.
Surface waters onsite flow into Rockfish Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin, which has been classified
in the "Classification and NC DWQ Standards Applicable to Surface Waters and Wetlands of North
Carolina" as C.
We obtained the attached automatically generated official species list from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service (FWS) and N.C. Natural Heritage Program (NHP) report identifying the protected species on or
within one mile of the project area that could potentially be affected by the project. These FWS & NHP
reports were updated as of the date of this report. The official species list is valid for 90 days.
We conducted site assessments to identify potential suitable habitat and preliminary surveys for the
individual species listed on the official species list. This included assessing the physical characteristics of
the streams, identifying forest types and looking for evidence of the listed species onsite. This survey did
not include any detailed sampling or netting. The results of the search are discussed below.

S&EC Project #14099.W4
RESULTS:
The FWS official species list identified the following species for the Evaluation limits:
• Red -cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Endangered
• American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), Threatened
• Saint Francis' Satyr Butterfly (Neonympha mitchellii francisci), Endangered
• American Chaffseed (Schwalbea americana), Endangered
• Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxii), Endangered
• Pondberry (Lindera melissifolia), Endangered
• Rough -leaved Loosestrife (Lysimachia asperulaefolia), Endangered
Of the species identified on the official species list, the NHP report did not identify any Federally
threatened or endangered species within the project area or within 1 mile of the project area. Other
State listed species were found within the project area as listed in the attached NHP report. The NHP
Report Identified one natural areas within the project area or within 1 mile of the project area. These
are listed out in the attached NHP Report.
RED -COCKADED WOODPECKER (Picoides borealis):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of suitable habitat (foraging and cavity trees) and
individual Red -cockaded Woodpeckers (RCWs) within the project area. We found no individual
RCWs within the project area. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the
project area or within 1 mile of the site. We found no ideal suitable habitat (e.g., Long Leaf pine
forests) within the project area. There are a few mature Long leaf and Loblolly pines along the road.
Given the lack of species present, and no presence of suitable habitat we concluded that the project
would have "No effect" on RCWs.
AMERICAN ALLIGATOR (Alligator mississippiensis):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of suitable habitat for the American Alligator. The
NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrences within the project area or within 1 mile of
the project area. Suitable habitat for the American Alligator consists of lakes, rivers, creeks, marshes,
swamps, and ponds. American Alligators have also been spotted in manmade ponds. The wetlands

S&EC Project #14099.W4
onsite and Rockfish creek were evaluated. Due to these observations, S&EC believes that the project
would have "No effect" on the American Alligator.
SAINT FRANCIS' SATYR BUTTERFLY (Neonympha mitchellii francisci):
S&EC conducted preliminary surveys of the site for potential suitable habitat for the Saint Francis'
Satyr butterfly. We found no individual species during our evaluation. The NHP report did not list any
elemental occurrence. The suitable habitat for this species consists of primarily wet meadows, beaver
impoundments, and fire -maintained areas. All open disturbed areas within the site were evaluated.
S&EC believes there is no suitable habitat onsite, and we have concluded that the project would have
"No effect" on the Saint Francis' Satyr butterfly.
AMERICAN CHAFFSEED (Schwalbea americana):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the site for potential suitable habitat for the
American Chaffseed. We found no individual species during our evaluation. The NHP report did not
list an elemental occurrence on or within 1 mile of the site. American Chaffseed is a hemi parasitic
stem that grows in openly disturbed areas that are routinely burned 1-6 years. There was no evidence
of controlled burns onsite. The areas S&EC believes there is no suitable habitat present. Due to these
observations, S&EC believes this project would have "No effect" on the American Chaffseed.
NVHCHAUX'S SUMAC (Rhus michauxial:
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of suitable habitat within the project area. We visited
a known population of Michaux's sumac within Wake County prior to conducting our preliminary
surveys. Michaux's sumac still had leaves present at this time. We found no individual Michaux's
Sumac species within the project area. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence
within the project area. We found suitable habitat within the project areas to include primarily disturb
open areas along roads and cleared areas. These areas were evaluated in detail. Other sumac species
identified onsite included Winged sumac (Rhus copallinum). Given the lack of species present within
the suitable habitat, we concluded that the project would have "No effect" on Michaux's sumac.

S&EC Project #14099.W4
PONDBERRY (Lindera melissifolia):
S&EC personnel conducted a preliminary survey of the site for potential suitable habitat for
Pondberry. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the
project area or within 1 mile of the site. The suitable habitat for this species is within wetlands, coastal
sites, and in shady areas. During our assessment we found no species of Pondberry. Our preliminary
survey concluded that potential suitable habitat does not exists onsite. Due to these observations, we
have concluded that the project would have "No effect" on Pondberry.
ROUGH -LEAVED LOOSESTRIFE (Lysimachia asperulaefolia):
S&EC personnel conducted a preliminary survey of the site for potential suitable habitat for the
Rough -Leaved Loosestrife. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the
project area or within 1 mile of the site. The suitable habitat for this species is edges between longleaf
pine stands, and pond pocosins. This species can also be found alongside roads and maintained
easements. During our assessment we found no species of Rough -Leaved Loosestrife.
Our preliminary survey concluded that potential suitable habitat exists onsite. There are disturbed
areas along the roads and wetland boundaries. These areas were surveyed in detail. Since no species
were observed within the areas believed to be suitable habitat, we have concluded that the project
would have "No effect" on the Rough -Leaved Loosestrife.
BALD EAGLE (Haliaeetus leucocephalus):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of suitable habitat, nesting sites, and individual Bald
Eagles within the project area. During our survey, we found no evidence of Bald Eagles or any nesting
sites within the project area. The NHP report did not identify any known nests onsite or within 1 mile
of the site. Given the lack of species present, we have concluded that the project is "Unlikely to disturb
nesting bald eagles ". We believe no Eagle Act Permit is required.
NORTHERN LONG-EARED BAT (Myotis septentrionalis):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys for suitable habitat and individual Northern Long-
eared Bats (NLEB's) within the project area. During our survey, we found no induvial species. Due to
FTCC, Cumberland County Fire and Rescue Training Center - S&EC Threatened & Endangered
Species Report
Page 4 of 5

November 23, 2020
S&EC Project #14099.W4
the nature of the project being residential development, we concluded that the project would "May
affect, but not likely to adversely affect" NLEB's.
CONCLUSION:
After completing the habitat assessments and preliminary surveys, S&EC completed the attached
"Species Conclusion Table" and "Self -Certification Letter". Using language typically used by the
FWS in their conclusion letters, we have concluded that it appears the proposed project is not likely to
adversely affect any federally -listed endangered or threatened species, their formally designated
critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
We strongly recommend requesting a concurrence letter from the FWS.

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

10/29/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-00291
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 7 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

Dear Robert Zarzecki:
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:
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.
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 rodney.butlerLncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
