PROJECT BACKGROUND
Emerson Hills Apartment Homes is a proposed 25-acre multi -family residential development located in
Kannapolis, Cabarrus County, NC. The center of the project area is located at 35.457444°N,-80.597664°W.
The purpose of this project is to construct a multi -family affordable housing development for workforce
housing for households earning between 60 and 80 percent of the area median income (AMI).

AGENCY CORRESPONDENCE
Cultural Resources
Page 2
Kimley-Horn consulted the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) HPOWEB GIS service
on December 16, 2020. No documented architectural, historic, or archaeological sites of significance within
the project boundary were identified. A request letter was submitted to SHPO to determine the presence of
archeological, cultural, or historic resources on December 16, 2020. At the time of the report, a response
has not been received. A copy of the request is attached.
Protected Species
A review of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database on September 30, 2020, did
not indicate known occurrences of threatened or endangered species within the project boundary.
Additionally, pedestrian surveys conducted by Kimley-Horn on September 24, 2020, did not identify any
occurrences of protected species within the property boundary. A concurrence request letter was submitted
to the USFWS on September 30, 2020. A response by USFWS was received on October 28, 2020
concurring with the biological conclusion of "may affect, not likely to adversely affect". A copy of the NCNHP
Report, USFWS Concurrence Request, and USFWS Response are attached.
PROPOSED IMPACTS TO JURISDICTIONAL WATERS
The overall project consists of the construction of 15 multi -family apartment buildings with associated parking
lots, sidewalks, utilities, stormwater drainage infrastructure and a clubhouse facility. Authorization is
requested under NWP 18 for minor discharges associated with grading activities necessary to construct
stormwater management facilities to service the residential development. Stormwater management facilities
are sized and positioned to minimize impacts to the greatest extents practicable and present minimal adverse
effects to medium -quality intermittent streams. The proposed project will result in 14.33 cubic yards (CY) of
fill below OHWM or 291 linear feet (LF) of permanent stream impacts.
The development also proposes to tie into the existing public sanitary sewer system. The work includes the
installation of a lateral 8-inch PVC which transitions to a 12-inch PVC with a 24-inch steel casing at the two
stream crossings. The installation will consist of open -cut and backfill through Stream 7 and Stream 8. 41 LF
of temporary impact to Stream 7 and 44 LF of temporary impact to Stream 8 is necessary to install a pumped
diversion system in order to work in dry conditions while the open cut, pipe installation, and backfill activities
are conducted. The stream and all disturbed areas will be restored to pre -construction conditions following
completion of the activity.
AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
There is approximately 95' of elevation change from the southwest corner of the site to the northeast corner.
As an affordable housing development, an accessible pedestrian route must be provided from units to all
site amenities. This limits the ability to compress the spacing between site features (buildings, parking,
amenities, etc.) and still transition grades through the site, provide stormwater control measures, and
completely avoid impacts to streams. Retaining walls have been provided to completely avoid impacts to
streams and wetlands in the northwestern portion of the property, and to minimize impacts to streams on the
northeastern proportion of the property to the extent practicable. Stormwater facilities are sized and
positioned to minimize impacts to the greatest extents practicable and present minimal adverse effects to
medium -quality intermittent streams.
The temporary impacts associated with the construction of the sanitary sewer connection will be limited to
two stream crossings. A double row of silt fencing will be installed along stream banks within the construction
corridor to avoid additional temporary stream impacts and prevent incidental fallback.

COMPENSATORY MITIGATION
Page 3
Compensatory mitigation will be met by the purchase of credits through the NC Division of Mitigation Services
(NCDMS) in -lieu fee program. 291 LF of stream impacts will be mitigated through the purchase of stream
mitigation credits. Based on an NCSAM assessment of Medium for Streams 2 and 4, mitigation is proposed
at a 1.75:1 ratio for impacts to these features, or 510 stream mitigation credits. In total, 510 stream mitigation
credits will be purchased from NCDMS to offset impacts associated with this project. A copy of the NCSAM
forms and the NCDMS In -Lieu Fee Acceptance Letter is attached.
Please feel free to contact me at [phone] if you have any questions or if additional information is
necessary.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Stormwater facilities are sized and positioned to minimize impacts to the greatest extents practicable and present minimal
adverse effects to moderate and low -quality intermittent streams.
Page 5 of 9
PCN Form - Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version

1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
There is approximately 95' of elevation change from the southwest corner of the site to the northeast corner. As an affordable housing
development, an accessible pedestrian route must be provided from units to all site amenities. This limits the ability to compress the
spacing between site features (buildings, parking, amenities, etc.) and still transition grades through the site, provide stormwater control
measures, and completely avoid impacts to streams. Retaining walls have been provided to completely avoid impacts to streams and
wetlands in the northwestern portion of the property, and to minimize impacts to streams on the northeastern proportion of the property
to the extent practicable.
The temporary impacts associated with the construction of the sanitary sewer connection will be limited to two stream crossings. A
double row of silt fencing will be installed along stream banks within the construction corridor to avoid additional temporary stream
impacts and prevent incidental fallback.

Dear Taylor Kiker:
Subject: North Avenue Apartments Multifamily Residential Development; Cabarrus County,
North Carolina
Log No. 4-2-20-481
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed your correspondence dated
September 30, 2020, wherein you request our comments regarding potential project -mediated
impacts to federally protected species. The Service submits the following comments in
accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 661-667e); the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. §4321 et seq.); and
section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
Project Description
According to the information provided you anticipate that the proposed project will require
authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for impacts to jurisdictional streams
associated with the construction of a residential development in Kannapolis, North Carolina.
Project plans, a description of proposed impacts to jurisdictional features, and a description of
impact avoidance measures have not been provided at this time.
Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species
According to Service records, suitable summer roosting habitat may be present in the project
vicinity for the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). However,
the final4(d) rule (effective as of February 16, 2016), exempts incidental take of northern long-
eared bat associated with activities that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a known hibernation
site, and greater than 150 feet from a known, occupied maternity roost during the pup season
(June 1 — July 31). Based on the information provided, the project (which may or may not
require tree clearing) would occur at a location where any incidental take that may result from
associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule. Although not required, we encourage the
Applicant to avoid any associated tree clearing activities during the maternity roosting
season from May 15 — August 15.

Based on the information provided, suitable habitat for the federally endangered Schweinitz's
sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) occurs within the action areal of the proposed project.
However, targeted botanical surveys conducted during optimal survey windows did not detect
evidence for that species at that time.
Due to the presence of suitable habitat, but lack of onsite evidence for these species, we believe
the probability for project -mediated loss of these plants is insignificant and discountable.
Therefore, we would concur with a "may affect, not likely to adversely affect" determination
from applicable federal action agencies.
Based on the information provided we believe that suitable habitat is not present onsite for any
other federally protected species and we require no further action at this time. Please be aware
that obligations under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act must be reconsidered if: (1) new
information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical
habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is subsequently modified in a
manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is
determined that may be affected by the identified action.
We offer the following general recommendations for the Applicant's consideration:
Erosion and Sediment Control
Grading and backfilling should be minimized, and existing native vegetation should be retained
(if possible) to maintain riparian cover for fish and wildlife. Disturbed areas should be
revegetated with native vegetation and/or organic material as soon as the project is completed.
Ground disturbance should be limited to what will be stabilized quickly, preferably by the end of
the workday. If erosion control matting is required, only natural fiber matting (coir) should
be used as synthetic netting can trap animals and persists in the environment beyond its
intended purpose.
Low Impact Development
The Service is concerned about the potential stormwater-mediated impacts to streams and/or
wetlands that may occur onsite. Where detention ponds are used, storm -water outlets should
drain through a vegetated area prior to reaching any natural stream or wetland area. Detention
structures should be designed to allow for the slow discharge of storm water, attenuating the
potential adverse effects of storm -water surges; thermal spikes; and sediment, nutrient, and
chemical discharges. Since the purpose of storm -water -control is to protect streams and
wetlands, no storm -water -control measures or best management practices should be
installed within any stream (perennial or intermittent) or wetland. We recommend that
retention ponds be located at least 750 feet from small wetlands to minimize hydrologic
disturbance and ecological function.
' Pursuant to 50 CFR §402.02, the Action Area includes all areas to be affected directly or indirectly by the Federal
action and not merely the immediate area involved in the action. Moreover, the Effects of the Action are all
consequences to listed species or critical habitat that are caused by the proposed action, including the consequences
of other activities that are caused by the proposed action. A consequence is caused by the proposed action if it
would not occur but for the proposed action and it is reasonably certain to occur. Effects of the action may occur
later in time and may include consequences occurring outside the immediate area involved in the action (see also 50
CFR §402.17)

Pollinator Habitat
Pollinators, such as most bees, some birds and bats, or other insects, including moths and
butterflies, play a crucial role in the reproduction of flowering plants and in the production of
most fruits and vegetables. Declines in wild pollinators are a result of loss, degradation, and
fragmentation of habitat and disease; while declines in honey bees has also been linked to
disease. The rusty -patched bumble bee (Bombus afnis) historically occurred in North Carolina's
Mountain and Piedmont provinces. Although not required, we encourage the Applicant to
consider our recommendations below to benefit the rusty -patched bumble bee and other
pollinators. Moreover, the creation and maintenance of pollinator habitats at this site may
increase the value of the project for the community and help reduce the spread of invasive
exotic plants. Please consider the following:
1. Sow native seed mixes in disturbed areas or in designated pollinator areas with plants
that bloom throughout the entire growing season.
2. Taller growing pollinator plant species should be planted around the periphery of the
site and anywhere on the site where mowing can be restricted during the summer
months. Taller plants, left un-mowed during the summer, would provide benefits to
pollinators, habitat to ground nesting/feeding birds, and cover for small mammals.
3. Low growing/groundcover native species should be planted in areas that need to be
maintained. This would provide benefits to pollinators while also minimizing the
amount of maintenance such as mowing and herbicide treatment. Milk weed species
are an important host plant for monarch butterflies.
4. Avoid mowing of flowering plants. Designated pollinator areas show be mow only
50% of the plant height, but no lower than 8 inches.
5. Avoid mowing outside the active season for rusty -patched bumble bee and other
pollinators (April 15 — October 15).
6. Leave slash piles, mulch piles, or loose dirt piles along woodland edges. These areas
provide nesting habitats and/or nest materials for some pollinators.
7. Avoid the use of pesticides and specifically neonicotinoids.
8. Additional information regarding plant species, seed mixes, and pollinator habitat
requirements can be provided upon request.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. Please contact Mr. Byron
Hamstead of our staff at [e-mail], if you have any questions. In any future
correspondence concerning this project, please reference our Log Number 4-2-20-481.
Sincerely,

Re: Pedcor Investments, LLC — North Avenue Multifamily Project
Cabarrus County, North Carolina
Project Review Certification Letter
Dear USFWS Asheville Field Office,
On behalf of our client, Pedcor Investments, LLC, Kimley-Horn (KH) is submitting this letter requesting
concurrence regarding the results of the pedestrian survey performed for the above -referenced
project in accordance with the methodologies recommended by USFWS. The pedestrian surveys were
conducted by KH staff, Chris Tinklenberg and Taylor Kiker, on September 20, 2020.
Background Information
The project area is situated between Concord Lake Road and Interstate 85 in Kannapolis, Cabarrus
County, NC. The property is bound by residential development to the west, Concord Lake STEAM
Academy to the north, Kannapolis Church of Christ and Sonny's Camp N Travel to the south, and an I-
85 Cabarrus County Rest Area along Interstate 85 to the east.
The site is comprised of two residential developments, horse pastures, and undeveloped forest land.
The forested areas have mature trees of Tulip Polar (Liriodendron tulipifera), Sweetgum (Liquidambar
styraciflua), Cottonwood (Populus deltoides), Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), and Eastern Redcedar
(Juniperus virginiana). The maintained pastures on -site are vegetated with common weedy natives
and non -natives including Dog Fennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), Goldenrod (Solidago sp.),
Pennsylvania smartweed (Polygonum pensylvanicum), Curly dock (Rumex crispus), and Sawtooth
Blackberry (Rubus argustus).
Pedcor Investments intends to construct/develop a project on the subject property which may require
future authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE); therefore, Pedcor Investments
contracted with KH to perform the pedestrian survey within areas of potentially suitable habitat on
the subject property to identify and document occurrences of federally listed threatened and/or
endangered species.

Northern Long-eared Bat
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: June 1—August 15
Habitat Description: In North Carolina, the Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) occurs in the mountains,
with scattered records in the Piedmont and coastal plain. In western North Carolina, NLEB
spend winter hibernating in caves and mines. Since this species is not known to be a long-
distance migrant, and caves and subterranean mines are extremely rare in eastern North
Carolina, it is uncertain whether or where NLEB hibernate in eastern North Carolina. During
the summer, NLEB roost singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of
both live and dead trees (typically >_3 inches dbh). Males and non -reproductive females may
also roost in cooler places, like caves and mines. This bat has also been found, rarely, roosting
in structures like barns and sheds, under eaves of buildings, behind window shutters, in
bridges, and in bat houses. Foraging occurs on forested hillsides and ridges, and occasionally
over forest clearings, over water, and along tree -lined corridors. Mature forests may be an
important habitat type for foraging.
Biological Conclusion: May affect, not likely to adversely affect
Potentially suitable summer roosting habitat for the NLEB may be present within forested
areas in the project area. The Final 4(d) rule (effective as of February 16, 2016), exempts
incidental take of NLEB associated with activities that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a
known hibernation site, and greater than 150 feet from a known, occupied maternity roost
tree during the pup season (June 1 — July 31). Kimley-Horn conducted a review of the most
current maps of confirmed/known hibernacula and maternity sites for the NLEB at
http://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmis/project_review/NLEB_in_WNC.html. The action area
for this project is located outside of the highlighted areas/red 12-digit HUCs. There will be no
blasting, pile driving, or other percussive activities associated with the construction of the

Kimley»>Horn
Page 3
project; however, tree-cutting/removal will occur. Based on the review, the proposed
activities in the action area occur at a location where any incidental take that may result from
the associated activities is exempt under the Final 4(d) rule; therefore, the biological
conclusion of "may affect, not likely to adversely affect" has been rendered for NLEB for this
project.
Carolina Heelsplitter
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: year round
Habitat Description: The Carolina heelsplitter was historically known from several locations within
the Catawba and Pee Dee River systems in North Carolina and the Pee Dee and Savannah
River systems, and possibly the Saluda River system in South Carolina. In North Carolina, the
species is now known only from a handful of streams in the Pee Dee and Catawba River
systems. The species exists in very low abundances, usually within 6 feet of shorelines,
throughout its known range. The general habitat requirements for the Carolina heelsplitter
are shaded areas in large rivers to small streams, often burrowed into clay banks between
the root systems of trees, or in runs along steep banks with moderate current. The more
recent habitat where the Carolina heelsplitter has been found is in sections of streams
containing bedrock with perpendicular crevices filled with sand and gravel, and with wide
riparian buffers.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Known populations for the Carolina heelsplitter in Cabarrus County occur only in the Goose
Creek and Duck Creek Watersheds within the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin and the Sixmile
Creek Watershed within the Lower Catawba River Basin. This project is within the Cold Water
Creek Watershed within the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin; there are no known populations of
the Carolina heelsplitter within this watershed. The on -site streams are degraded with poor
supporting habitat conditions for mussels in general. No mussels, of any species, were
observed during the habitat assessment. Therefore, no suitable habitat for Carolina
heelsplitter is present within the study area. Additionally, according to the NCNHP data
report, there are no known occurrences of the Carolina heelsplitter within a one -mile radius
of the project limits.
Schweinitz's Sunflower
USFWS optimal survey window: late August -October
Habitat Description: Schweinitz's sunflower is endemic to the Piedmont of North and South Carolina.
The few sites where this rhizomatous perennial herb occurs in relatively natural vegetation
are found in Xeric Hardpan Forests. The species is also found along roadside rights -of -way,
maintained power lines and other utility rights -of -way, edges of thickets and old pastures,
clearings and edges of upland oak -pine -hickory woods and Piedmont longleaf pine forests,
and other sunny or semi -sunny habitats where disturbances (e.g., mowing, clearing, grazing,

Kimley»>Horn
Page 4
blowdowns, storms, frequent fire) help create open or partially open areas for sunlight. It is
intolerant of full shade and excessive competition from other vegetation.
Biological Conclusion: No effect
Potentially suitable habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower is present on the subject property
within the open pasture land that receives abundant sunshine and has minimal competition
in the herbaceous layer. A review of the NCNHP records, updated July 20, 2020, indicates no
known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the subject property. Pedestrian surveys were
conducted by Kimley-Horn biologists throughout areas of potentially suitable habitat on
September 24, 2020. No individuals of Schweinitz's sunflower were observed. Due to a lack
of recorded occurrences and the absence of observed individuals on the subject property, the
proposed project will have no effect on this species.
Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle Protection Act
USFWS optimal survey window: November through March
Habitat Description: Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forest in proximity to large
bodies of open water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically
within 1.0 mile of open water. A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area, as well as
the area within a 1.13-mile radius (1.0 mile plus 660 feet) of the project limits, was performed
on September 1, 2020, using 2019 color aerials. Bodies of water large enough or sufficiently
open to be considered a potential feeding source were not identified. A review of the NCNHP
database, updated on July 21, 2020, revealed no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the
study area. Due to the lack of known occurrences, and the lack of observed individuals or
nests, it has been determined that the proposed project will not affect this species.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect

This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat
(collectively referred to as trustresources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS)
jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below. The list
may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be
directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood
and extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional
site -specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of
proposed activities) information.
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS
office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to each section
that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for

Endangered species
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of
project level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species.
Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of
the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a
dam upstream of a fish population, even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly
impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move,
and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near
the project area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site -specific and
project -specific information is often required.
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary
information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area
of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any
Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills this requirement can
only be obtained by requesting an official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in
IPaC (see directions below) or from the local field office directly.
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website
and request an official species list by doing the following:
1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE.
2. Click DEFINE PROJECT.
3. Log in (if directed to do so).
4. Provide a name and description for your project.
5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.
Listed species and their critical habitats are managed by the Ecological Services Program of the U.S.

Nationwide conservation measures for birds
http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/pdf/management/nationwidestandardconservationmeasures.pdf
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

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 FAQ
"Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to
interpret this report.
Probability of Presence ( )
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.
To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
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 ( )
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.
To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
No Data ( )
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/locationNFWAUNNYOVC57NJ2T6LLIYRPAI/resources 5/9

IPaC: Explore Location
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.

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.
https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/locationNFWAUNNY0VC57NJ2T6LLIYRPAI/resources 6/9

IPaC: Explore 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.
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
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.
https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/locationNFWAUNNYOVC57NJ2T6LLIYRPAI/resources 7/9

IPaC: Explore Location
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.

Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404
of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal statutes.
For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers District.
THERE ARE NO KNOWN WETLANDS AT THIS LOCATION.
Data limitations
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level
information on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high
altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error
is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in
revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis.
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts
the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted.
Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems.
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be
occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and
the actual conditions on site.
Data exclusions
C�3v
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial
imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged
aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters.
Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory.
These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery.
Data precautions I(J
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a
different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this
inventory, to define the limits of proprietaryjurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish
the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in
activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal,
state, or local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may
affect such activities.

RE. Pedcor Kannapolis
Dear Taylor Kiker.
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.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rodnev.butlerWncdcr.aov or 919-707-8603.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy
of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the
impact amounts shown below.
