Subject:T&E survey for rough-leaved loosestrife
Good Afternoon, 
This email provides a summary of the results of an Axiom Environmental, Inc. (Axiom) federally protected species survey 
at the Sliver Moon Wetland Mitigation Site.  The approximately 31‐acre site is located north of Old U.S. Highway 70 in 
Craven County, NC.    
Rough‐leaved loosestrife 
Typical habitat for rough‐leaved loosestrife (Lysimachia asperulaefolia) consists of the wet ecotone between longleaf 
pine uplands and poorly drained, low shrub areas such as pocosins and Carolina bays.  This species can also be found 
within powerline easements and along roadsides where regular maintenance mimics fire and deters habitat 
encroachment.  Suitable habitat for rough‐leaved loosestrife occurs within the site along the woodland edges and the 
margins of ditches and streams where abundant sunlight and little herbaceous competition occurs.  Systematic surveys 
of suitable habitat were conducted by Axiom biologists on September 25, 2018, and identified no individuals.  In 
addition, a review of NCNHP records dated September 25, 2018, indicates there are no known occurrences within 1.0 
mile of the site.  The proposed project will have No Effect on rough‐leaved loosestrife. 
We appreciate the opportunity to assist with this project.  If you have any questions about this information, please let us

Opinion for Transportation Projects within the Range of the Indiana Bat and Northern
Long-eared Bat.
To whom it may concern:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has received your request dated to verify that the
Sliver Moon II (Proposed Action) may rely on the revised February 5, 2018, FHWA, FRA, FTA
Programmatic Biological Opinion for Transportation Projects within the Range of the Indiana
Bat and Northern Long-eared Bat (PBO) to satisfy requirements under Section 7(a)(2) of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) (87 Stat.884, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
Based on the information you provided (Project Description shown below), you have determined
that the Proposed Action will have no effect on the endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) or
the threatened Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). If the Proposed Action is not
modified, no consultation is required for these two species.
For Proposed Actions that include bridge/structure removal, replacement, and/or
maintenance activities: If your initial bridge/structure assessments failed to detect Indiana bats,
but you later detect bats during construction, please submit the Post Assessment Discovery of
Bats at Bridge/Structure Form (User Guide Appendix E) to this Service Office. In these
instances, potential incidental take of Indiana bats may be exempted provided that the take is
reported to the Service.
If the Proposed Action may affect any other federally-listed or proposed species and/or
designated critical habitat, additional consultation between the lead Federal action agency and
this Service Office is required. If the proposed action has the potential to take bald or golden
eagles, additional coordination with the Service under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
may also be required. In either of these circumstances, please advise the lead Federal action
agency for the Proposed Action accordingly.

This decision key is intended for projects/activities funded or authorized by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), and/or Federal Transit
Administration (FTA), which require consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for the endangered Indiana bat
(Myotis sodalis) and the threatened Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis).

Project Name: Sliver Moon II
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally-listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally-protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or

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/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/

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
