Due to the nature of the Arboretum, there area several areas that included maintained lawn, planted garden beds, and asphalt pathways. These
areas are identified within the temporary buffer impacts. All temporary impacts will be restored to pre-existing conditions once construction is
completed. Since a Section 401 Application is required for the project, the riparian buffer impacts are Exempt based on the Jordan Lake Riparian
Buffer Rules Table of Uses.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation

1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The restoration project has been designed to enhance/restore North Buffalo Creek within the project footprint to the greatest extent practicable. This
includes design to restore in -stream geomorphology; stabilization of stream banks by grading steep slopes to a more stable profile; removing invasive
species' and planting native vegetation. Soil lifts and boulder toe structures will be used in areas where 3:1 slopes cannot be achieved. Additional rip
rap stabilization will be used underneath existing pedestrian bridges and at existing stormwater pipe outfalls to prevent future erosion. Please see the
attached Erosion Control Plan for other avoidance and minimization techniques that were used during project design.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Best Management Practices for Protection of Surface Waters will be employed. The project construction area is located within an active floodplain and
subject to regular flooding. As such, the contractor shall limit the daily work area to a stream and floodplain section that can be completely constructed
and stabilized within a single day. A completed and stabilized work area shall be at final grade with matting, temporary seeding, and/or mulch in place.
In the event that the work area cannot be completed by the end of the work day, the contractor shall be responsible for providing additional
stabilization and erosion and sediment control measures to protect the completed work from damage. All additional measures must be approved by
the engineer. All work for the stream shall be performed from the stream channel bank, unless stream diversion is installed so that stream channel
work is completed "in the dry". Erosion and sediment control measures shall be maintained continuously, relocated as necessary, and shall be
checked after every rainfall. Seeded areas shall be checked regularly and shall be watered, fertilized, reseeded and mulched as necessary to obtain a
dense stand of grass. Silt fencing will be installed along haul roads, around staging areas or other areas where loose soil is stockpiled, as well as any
other areas where it is deemed necessary. Compliance of erosion control measures will occur and any failed fencing or other measures will be
repaired. Please see the attached Erosion Control Plan for more detail regarding avoidance and minimization techniques that will be used during
construction.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The City of Greensboro, North Carolina (the City), Water Resources Depailiuent, proposes
the restoration of approximately 2,200 linear feet of North Buffalo Creek and adjacent
riparian areas within the approximate existing location of the stream. This project will
include restoration, stabilization, or enhancement of the stream, or a combination of these
activities. The restoration will occur within the Greensboro Arboretum, located at 401
Ashland Drive in Greensboro. The following Protected Species, Terrestrial Communities,
Riparian Buffer, and Protected Species Assessment Memorandum has been prepared to
assist with planning for the stream restoration and to satisfy Section 404 permitting
requirements if a permit were required for the project.
2.0 METHODOLOGY
All jurisdictional resources work was conducted in accordance with United States Army
Corp of Engineers (USACE) and North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR)
delineation methodology. Species identification for protected species, terrestrial
communities, and riparian buffers follows common species identification techniques and
species descriptions outlined by various resources, including the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and
Weakley's Flora (University of North Carolina). Terrestrial community identification
roughly follows the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's (NCNHP) "Guide to The
Natural Communities of North Carolina: Fourth Approximation". Formatting of this
document references the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) —
Environmental Coordination and Permitting (ECAP) Section's Preparing Natural
Resources Technical Reports (NRTR) Procedure and references the latest NCDOT NRTR
Template (November 2017). Field work was conducted on July 8 and August 3, 2020.

3.0 TERRESTRIAL COMMUNITIES
One terrestrial community was identified within the study area. Figure 4 shows the location
and extent of this terrestrial community. Terrestrial community data are presented in the
context of total coverage of each type within the study area (Table 1). The absence of
undisturbed, natural, terrestrial communities is a result of the Arboretum's prolonged
horticultural land use and the power company's control of vegetation within the large utility
right-of-way. The species identified in Table 1 represent dominant species within this
community, with a large number of planted cultivars also being present. Additional species
located in this community type are also identified within Section 3.1 below.

3.1 Streamside Riparian Areas and Associated Buffers
Riparian areas immediately adjacent (i.e., within 30 feet) to North Buffalo Creek within
the study area are comprised of both native and non-native grasses, forbs, and shrubs.
Maintained lawns and landscaped areas are also located within North Buffalo Creek's
riparian zone, which are maintained by the Greensboro Arboretum. These landscaped
areas are typically comprised of non-native grass, herb, and shrub plantings. Within the
outer twenty feet of the fifty -foot buffer, these landscaped areas may occur beneath a mix
of native and non-native overstory hardwoods.
Three distinct habitats occur within the 50-foot riparian buffer: maintained/landscaped,
herbaceous/early successional, and wooded (Figure 5). The floristic composition of each
of these habitats is described in further detail below.

Cape Fear shiner
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: year-round, April — June (tributaries)
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
This species is listed by the USFWS as a "range by basin" species. This project
does not occur within this species' range, so no potential habitat is present within
the study area. A review of the July 2020 NCNHP dataset indicates no known
occurrences in or within 1.0 mile of the study area. Due to lack of habitat and no
known occurrences, the Biological Conclusion for this species is No Effect.
Roanoke logperch
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: year-round; April — June (optimal)
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
This species is listed by the USFWS as a "range by basin" species. This project
does not occur within this species' range, so no potential habitat is present within
the study area. A review of the July 2020 NCNHP dataset indicates no known
occurrences in or within 1.0 mile of the study area. Due to lack of habitat and no
known occurrences, the Biological Conclusion for this species is No Effect.
Atlantic pigtoe
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: year-round
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
This species is listed by the USFWS as a "range by basin" species. This project
does not occur within this species' range, so no potential habitat is present within
the study area. A review of the July 2020 NCNHP dataset indicates no known
occurrences in or within 1.0 mile of the study area. Due to lack of habitat and no
known occurrences, the Biological Conclusion for this species is No Effect.
Schweinitz's sunflower
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: Late August— October
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower occurs along roadsides and wood edges
in full to partial sun in areas with poor soils. During natural resources surveys
conducted by Three Oaks on August 3, 2020, it was determined that suitable habitat
for this species is not present within the study area. Additionally, a review of the
July 2020 NCNHP dataset indicates no known occurrences in or within 1.0 mile of
the study area. Due to lack of habitat and no known occurrences, the Biological
Conclusion for this species is No Effect.
5 September 2020

Species, Community, Buffer, and Water Resources City of Greensboro, Guilford County, N.C.
Small whorled pogonia
USFWS Optimal Survey Window: mid -May — early July
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for small whorled pogonia is characterized by hardwood forests
with an open understory and acidic soils. During natural resources surveys
conducted by Three Oaks on July 8 and August 3, 2020, it was determined that
suitable habitat for this species is not present within the study area. Additionally,
no individuals were identified during the surveys. Additionally, a review of the
July 2020 NCNHP dataset indicates no known occurrences in or within 1.0 mile of
the study area. Due to lack of habitat, individuals, and no known occurrences, the
Biological Conclusion for this species is No Effect.
4.2 Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
The bald eagle is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and enforced
by the USFWS. Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forests 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 of the project limits, was performed on February 24, 2020 using the most recently
available orthoimagery. No water body large enough or sufficiently open to be considered
a potential feeding source was identified. Since there is no potential foraging habitat
within the review area, a survey of the project study area and the area within 660 feet of
the project limits was not conducted. A review of the July 2020 NCNHP dataset revealed
no known occurrences of this species within 1.0 mile of the project study area. Due to the
lack of no known occurrences, individuals, nests, and minimal impact anticipated for this
project, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species.
5.0 WATER RESOURCES AND REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 Water Resources
Water resources in the study area are part of the Cape Fear River Basin (United States
Geological Survey [USGS] Hydrologic Unit [HUC] 03030002]. Three potential streams
were identified in the study area (Table 3). The location of these streams is shown on
Figure 3.
