US Department of the Interior — Fish and Wildlife Service Official Species List from IPaC 6 listed species are identified on the IPaC report (attached). Gray bat, Northern Long-eared bat, Virginia Big -eared bat, Bog turtle, Monarch butterfly and Hellers blazingstar are federally listed species included in the report. Gray bats and Virginia long-eared bats live in caves year around. Suitable habitat for these species is not located on the site. Bog turtle is listed due to similarity in appearance. Turtles that may be similar in appearance to the protected turtle, should they be encountered on the site, will not be transported from the site. Suitable habitat for Monarch butterfly and Hellers blazingstar was not observed on the site. Wooded areas on the site could afford suitable summer roosting habitat for northern long-eared bats. Similar habitat was observed on surrounding properties. Therefore, tree clearing outside of the pup season (June 1 to July 31) is not likely to adversely affect the NLEB. If tree clearing activities cannot be conducted outside of the pup season, then the applicant will rely on the final 4(d) rule and any take will be considered exempt from the ESA.

INTRODUCTION AND LOCATION Brushy Fork Environmental Consulting, Inc. conducted a United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) jurisdictional delineation on four (4) property parcels {Watauga County, NC) for BBR Enterprises, LLC on February 61h and 7rl' 2018, This report presents the findings of "waters of the United States" Including jurisdictional streams and wetlands, and "waters of the.S'tate". The property borders Highway 105 to the southeast, northwest and the north side of Aldridge Road. A site map with aerial photography and USGS location map for the property are given In Appendix A. The jurisdictional wetland delineation was conducted according to guidelines set forth in the USACE "Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region (Version 2,G)" (April 2012). As the regulating authority of Section 404/4D1 of the Clean Water Act, the USACE and state of North Carolina must make the final determination as to the jurisdictional status of this site. Wetlands were determined to be present at the BBR Enterprises, LLC site due to the presence of wetland hydrology, hydric soils, and hydrophytic vegetation. One f 1) streams was identified and delineated on -site. The stream Is referred to as unnamed tributary a (UT a), unnamed tributary b (UT b). UTa Is located on the northwest side of NC Highway 105. UTa flows downstream under NC Highway 105 to the southeast side of the highway continuing as UTb, The Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) was delineated, flagged, and surveyed for the stream and is presented in the Site Map In Appendix C. 2. REGULATORY DEFINITIONS "Waters of the United States" are regulated by the Corps of Engineers based on authority from Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. They include waters that are or could be used for interstate commerce such as rivers, wetlands, lakes, territorial seas and ponds, as well as streams, waterways and ditches below the "Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM)", Manmade water bodies and farmed wetlands may also be considered Jurisdictional depending on their connection to other "waters of the U,5 " if they are not actively mined, farmed or otherwise managed for five (5) years. A specific detailed definition of "waters of the United States" can be found in the Federal Register (33 CFR 328.3), Activities in these areas will require a Corps of Engineers permit if they include the discharge of dredged of fill material Into "waters of the U.S.". "Waters of the State" are "any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir, waterway, or other body or accumulation of water, They can be surface or underground, public or private, natural or artificial. Finally, they must be contained In, flow through, or border upon any portion of this State (North Carolina) (including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction)." This definition is provided by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources, 401 Buffer Permitting Unit. 3. TECHNICAL DEFINITIONS Wetlands are defined as areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life In saturated soil conditions. They are identified based on the three -parameter approach outlined in the Corps of Engineers "Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Reglonal` (2012). The three criteria Include hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and wetland hydrology. Generally, all three criteria must be present to make a positive wetland determination. The criteria are defined as follows; Hydrophytle vegetation, due to morphological, physiological and/or reproductive adaptation(s), has the ability to grow, effectively compete, reproduce, and/or persist In anaerobic soil conditions, individual species have been assignod Indicator status by the USFWS .. National Wetland Inventory and the National Plant List Panel. Vegetation is considered hydric when more than 50%of the dominant species froth all strata are OBL, FACW, FAC+ or FAC. Secondary vegetation rules Include the species Prevalence Index which takes non -dominant species Into consideration, observed plant morphological and physiological adaptations, and certain problematic wetland situations. Indicator Status Probability of Occurrence In Wetlands Obligate Wetland - OBL > 99%P Facultative Wetland - FACW _ 67-99% Facultative - FAC 34-66% µ Facultative Upland - FACU 1-33% obligate Upland- UPL <1% Hydric so€Is are present If they have been class'sfled as hydric or when they possess characteristics associated with reducing soil conditions known as hydric indicators. Wetland soils were evaluated for hydric indicators with the USDA/MRCS report "Field Indicators of Hydric Soils In the United States, A guide for Indentlfying and Delineating Hydric Sails, Version 7.0, 2010". Hydric soils in this report are those where an Indicator for "All" or "Loamy and Clayey" soils (USDA Land Resource Region "P") is present. Colors were determined using the Munsell soil color chart. Hydrology In wetlands occurs in areas Inundated permanently or periodically at mean water depths of <6.6 feet, or if the soil is saturated to the surface for approximately nine (9) days consecutively during the growing season of the prevalent vegetation. Wetland hydrology Indicators may be present above or below the surface. Primary indicators include inundation, saturation in the upper 12 inches, watermarks on standing structure, sediment deposits and hydrogen sulfide odor. A minimum of one primary Indicator Is required for the presence of a wetland. Secondary indicators (two or more required) Include drainage patterns, moss trim lines, crayfish burrows, and the FAC-neutral test. In general, an area must meet all three criteria to he classified as a wetland. In certain "naturally problematic" areas such as seasonal wetlands which are not wet at all times, or in recently disturbed situations, an area may be considered a wetland if only two criteria are met. Perennial stream means a well-defined channel that contains water year round during a year of normal rainfall with the aquatic bed located below the water table for most of the year. Groundwater is the primary source of water for a perennial stream, but it also carries stormwater runoff. A perennial stream exhibits the typical biological, hydrological, and physical characteristics commonly associated with the continuous conveyance of water,115A NCAC 028.0233(2)(1)) Intermittent stream means a well-defined channel that contains water for only part of the year, typically during winter and spring when the aquatic bed is below the water table. The flow may be heavily supplemented by stormwater runoff. An Intermittent stream often lacks the biological and hydrological characteristics commonly associated with the conveyance of water. [15A NCAC 028.0233(2)(g)] Ephemeral (stormwater) stream means a feature that carries only stormwater in direct response to precipitation with water flowing only during and shortly after large precipitation events. An ephemeral stream may or may not have a well-defined channel, the aquatic bed Is always above the water table, and stormwater runoff Is the primary source of water. An ephemeral stream typically lacks the biological, hydrological, and physical characteristics commonly associated with the continuous or intermittent conveyance of water. [15A NCAC 02B .0233(2)(d)) 4. SITE DESCRIPTION 4.1. General The Subject area (-36.147404,-81.793194) is comprised of four (4) tracts in southwest Watauga County immediately southeast of the town of Seven Devils, NC (Appendix A). The areas to be impacted include a portions of the following tracts., Tract 1 Is 9.2t acre parcel, Tract 2, a 1.36# acre parcel, Tract 3, a 1.01 ± acre parcel, and Tract 4 a 0.576± acre parcel . The project review area was evaluated for aquatic resources subject to federal and state jurisdiction. Elevations on site is approximately 3200 feet above mean sea level (Appendix A). The OUR Enterprises, LLC delineation site is located In the Watauga River Watershed; Hydrologic Unit Code IHUC) 061010303030. The entirety of the area drains primarily southeast Into the Watauga River. 4.2. Solis Two (2) soil types are mapped on the Area of interest (AO1), (USDA Web Soil Survey, accessed 02/2018). Appendix B presents a soils map of the area, The approximate percent I%) of each soil type In the A01 is listed In Table 1 below. Dellwood cobbfy sandy loam (DeB) Is the dominant soil present at the ADI (61.D%). Deg is found on floodplains. it usually occurs on 1-5% slopes and Is considered moderately well -drained with occasional mapped frequency of flooding, Culfasaja very cobbfy loam (CsC) is mapped on the remainder of the property (39.0%). CsC usually occurs on coves of mountain slopes, drainageways on mountain slopes, and fans on mountain slopes. it is generally found on B-15% slopes, Is well drained, and has no mapped frequency of flooding. The soil types which occur on the subject property are listed and described in detall below: Table 1. Project Soils Information % of Area of Interest Frequency of Soil Type _ _ _ (A01) Landform Drainage Class Flooding Dellwood cobbfy Moderately sandy loam (DeB) 61.0% Floodplains well -Drained Occasional Cullasaja very cobbly Coves, fans, drainbge ways loam (CSC) 39.0% of mountain slopes Wall -Drained None 4.3 Wetlands As previously stated, wetlands were located in the Subject Property. The wetland sampling point W1 (Appendix C and D) is located at the northwest corner of Tract 4. Typical vegatatlon Include luncus effusus (Common Rush), dominant In small pockets over the sampling area, ScIrpus cypertnus (woolgrass) , Packera aurea (Golden Ragwort), Solidago spp. (goldenrods), Arlsoema triphyllum (Jack In the pulpit), Ru6u5 sp. (blackberry), Rosa multiflora (multiflora rose), Dryopteris Intermedia (Intermediate woodfern) and additional representatives of the family Asteracae. Due to the time of year the vegetation sampling took place It was difficult to identify some taxa to the species level. A small, linear, (-1235 sq. ft.), offsite moist area was delineated below an outlet pipe that exists along the tract up -valley of Highway 105, 4.4 Streams One (1) stream feature Is located on the Subject Parcels (Appendix Q. The first order, perennial, stream is referred to as Unnamed Tributary a (UTa), and Unnamed Tributary b (UTb). UTa is located up -slope of Highway 105 and on the northwest side of NC Highway 105. UTa flows in a south and east direction but turning flow direction to the southeast as it flows under NC Highway 105 to the southeast side (down slope) of the highway continuing as UTb. The stream Is approximately 3-4 feet wide throughout the delineated length, Bed material is a diverse mix of cobble. UTa supports in- channel woody debris and rooted upland flora. UTb Is managed to waters edge through mechanical means. Rooted fibrous vegetation is present In UTb. Benthlc sampling identified a single macro -invertebrate in the order Trichoptera (Cadd€sflies) .

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the', composition and properties of a unit A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. lNithln a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limfte for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of sails of a single taxonomic class rarely, If ever, can be mapped without Including areas of other taxonomic classes, Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which It is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomlc classes; outer than those of the major soils. Most minor sails have properties slmflar to those of the dominant soil or soils In the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management, These are tailed noncontreating, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned In a partfcufar map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteriatks divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dlsslmilar, components. They generally are In small areas and could not be trapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are Identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included In the database for a givon area, the contrasting minor components, are Identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned In the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to Identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape, The presence of minor components in a map unit In no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape, Into landforms or fand£orm segments that have similar use and management requirements, The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the Custom Soil Resource Report development of resource plans. If Intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onslte Investigation Is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description Includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soli series. Except for differences In texture of the surface layer, all,the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar In composllion, thickness, and arrangement. Sails of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a sail series Is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil aeries. The name of a soil phase commonly Indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of, the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists oftwo or more soils or miscellaneous areas In such an Intricate pattern or In such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the sails or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar In all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association Is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the suirvey area. It was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha -Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example, An undiffarendated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped Individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas In a mapped area are not uniform.

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: Design and Construction Recommendations https://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmis/project review/Recommendations.html Optimal Survey Times for Federally Listed Plants https://www.fws.gov/nc-es/plant/plant survey.html Northern long-eared bat Guidance https://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmis/project review/NLEB in WNC.html Predictive Habitat Model for Aquatic Species https://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmls/Maxent/Maxent.html 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. 11/03/2021 Event Code: 04EN1000-2022-E-00198 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/ashevilleihtmis/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-library/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 (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) 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/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/ towers/comtow.html. 11/03/2021 Event Code: 04EN1000-2022-E-00198 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.

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: 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. 11/03/2021 Event Code: 04EN1000-2022-E-00198 3 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.

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 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 (BCQ 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. 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 . 11/03/2021 Event Code: 04EN1000-2022-E-00198 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 - SCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (SCRs) 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. 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. 11/03/2021 Event Code: 04EN1000-2022-E-00198 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. 11/03/2021 Event Code: 04EN1000-2022-E-00198 Wetlands 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.
