E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through project design:
The applicant has designed the proposed development to avoid impacts to the stream on the site and the remainder of
the wetlands. The driveway has been designed as narrow as practicable to minimize impacts to the wetland. The
remaining roads, lots and utilities have been designed to avoid additional impacts to jurisdictional areas.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The clearing limits will be surveyed, staked and silt fencing and clearing limit fencing will be used. Disturbed areas will
be seeded and mulched to limit sediment from entering downgradient waters. Slope matting will be used on steep
slopes.

(1) E = Ephemeral, I = Intermittent, P — Perennial, NP = Not Present
(2) Refers to State riparian buffer rules only. Stream, wetland, or pond impacts are still subject to applicable water quality standards and permitting requirements.
Explanation: The stream(s)/pond(s) listed above has been located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey
of Wake County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a 1: 24,000 scale.
Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be an intermittent stream, perennial stream, a
pond connected to a stream feature, or the feature is determined not to be present. Stream features that are checked
"Subject" have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify it to be subject to the buffer
rules. There may be other streams located on the property that do not show up on the maps referenced above and are
therefore not subject to the buffer rules. However, if the stream features are present on the tract they are subject to

Event Code: 04EN2000-2022-E-00486
Project Name: Riverbrooke II
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location 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

11/08/2021 Event Code: 04EN2000-2022-E-00486 2
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratoDLbirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/
towers/comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
of this office atjohn—[e-mail].

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 7 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheriesi, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

RE: 03020201
Hi Michael,
Thanks for sending. We do have buffer credits that can service this. They are $1.20/credit. Typically you would
first need an SOA to submit with the plans and whenever you get the approval we would invoice for them. We
don't really reserve them, so while they are available now, they might not be when ready to purchase.
Thanks,
Caitlan Britt Parker

Good Afternoon,
My client is proposing to impact 1,237 square feet of Zone 2 buffer that will require mitigation. I assume my client will
need to purchase 1,856 square feet of credits at a 1.5 multiplier. How much will this cost my client and how do I secure
the credits? Thanks for your assistance.
