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:
S&EC completed a wetland delineation and Neuse River Buffer evaluation for the entire property to identify natural resources so that impacts could be
avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Impact areas 1A, 1 B, 1C, and ID is proposed permanent wetland and stream impacts for
infrastructure critical to the project, as well as for lot fill/grading. Impact areas 1A, 113, and part of 1C are proposed permanent wetland impacts for a road
crossing, stormwater conveyance, sedimentation and erosion control measures during construction, and lot fil. This road crossing is necessary to
connect the northern part of the development with the rest of the property. Road B has been shifted as far east and north as possible to provide a safe
and compliant internal roadway system throughout the development. Shifting the crossing north of the wetlands would not result in/meet the City's
requirements. Additionally, the internal road network is graded to provide safe vertical profile design and is set based on grading connections to Mineral
Springs Road and Holder Road. Impact area 1 D is proposed permanent stream impact for stormwater conveyance (both on -site and off -site), as well as
lot fill/grading in order to accommodate the planned housing type and meet stormwater requirements. Per the project engineer and the City of Durham
requirements, there is stormwater runoff coming into the site that will need to be picked up conveyed under the road to the stream. Impact area 2 is
proposed permanent — no permanent loss wetland impacts for a utility crossing. The utility will be constructed perpendicular with the wetland and
eventually tie into an existing sewer line. Impact area 4A is proposed permanent wetland impacts for infrastructure critical to the project, as well as for lot
fill/grading. The critical infrastructure includes roadway construction, stormwater conveyance and management, as well as tying to and making
improvements along an existing sanitary sewer outfall. A retaining wall is being utilized to minimize wetland impacts to the maximum extent practicable.
Per the project engineer, this impact is necessary based on the profile of the roadway (designed to meet AASHTO and City standards). Impact area 4B
is proposed permanent wetland impact for road construction. As mentioned above, this impact is needed to meet the City of Durham design standards
for a cul-de-sac as well as requirements for stormwater. Impact area 4C is proposed wetland impacts for a utility crossing. The utility will connect to an
existing manhole and will be constructed as far south of the wetland as possible to minimize wetland impacts. Impact area 6A & 6B are proposed
permanent wetland and buffer impacts as well as temporary stream impacts for a utility crossing. These impacts are necessary to upgrade the existing
utility line to a larger one that will serve the development. All impacts are occurring within the existing easement and will avoid any additional impacts. It
should also be noted that the utility cannot be shifted further out as the utility runs through property offsite into neighboring properties. Impact area 7A is
proposed permanent buffer impacts for a utility crossing. These impacts are necessary to upgrade the existing utility line to a larger one that will serve
the development. All impacts are occurring within the existing easement and will avoid any additional impacts. Impact 7B is proposed permanent buffer
impacts for a utility crossing. These impacts are necessary to connect the existing utility lines located southeast and northwest of the crossing. The
location of the crossing was placed here to avoid any stream impacts that are located adjacent to the proposed crossing. The utility is going through
private property not owned by the developer. The developer is acquiring easements for this area the way it is shown. There is an existing residence on
the corner parcel which makes it highly difficult to acquire additional easement area than what is proposed. Impact 7C is proposed permanent buffer and
temporary impacts for a utility crossing. These impacts are necessary to upgrade the existing utility line to a larger one that will serve the development.
All impacts are occurring within the existing easement and will avoid any additional impacts. The crossing itself is perpendicular with the stream to avoid
any additional stream impacts. Impact 8 is proposed permanent buffer and temporary stream impacts for a utility crossing. These impacts are necessary
to upgrade the existing utility line to a larger one that will serve the development. All impacts are occurring within the existing easement and will avoid
any additional impacts. The utility cannot be shifter further out as the utility runs through property offsite into neighboring properties. Impact area 9 is
proposed permanent — no permanent loss wetland impacts for a utility crossing. These impacts are necessary to upgrade the existing utility line to a
larger one that will serve the development. All impacts are occurring within the existing easement and will avoid any additional impacts. The existing
easement was placed perpendicular with the wetland to minimize wetland impacts.
u

I b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Coffer dams and pump arounds will be utilized for the sanitary sewer stream crossings. Sediment skimmer basins will be constructed to discharge the
flow through a skimmer for sediment removal. Diversion ditches will be constructed to divert storm water to sediment ponds to limit the amount of water
going to silt fencing. There will also be Tree protection fencing and silt fencing utilized to show the limits of disturbance on site.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State

G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
1a. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?*
Yes No
2. Violations (DWR Requirement)
2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or
Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)? *
Yes No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?*
Yes No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
We have reviewed the "Draft Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetlands Programs" document
prepared by the NC Division of Water Quality on April 10, 2004, version 2.1. The draft states that many private developments are unlikely to cause
cumulative impacts, including projects such as urban in -fill, most residential subdivisions and small commercial developments as well as agricultural and
silvicultural operations. The Harlowe Point project is a residential development. Additionally, the project is located within the City of Durham ETJ,
therefore the adjacent properties that have potential for development will have the following regulations to protect downstream waters: 1) the Neuse
River Basin Riparian Buffer Protection regulations, these regulations require limited development within the riparian buffer area, in addition Best
Management Practices may be required that control nitrogen if diffuse flow cannot be achieved; 2) the Phase II NPDES Stormwater Permit Program, this
program includes permitting requirements for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) in addition to post -construction stormwater
management requirements; 3) the Water Supply, Watershed Protection Program which limits development densities as well as requires protective
riparian buffers; We anticipate that the DWR will advise us if any additional information is needed.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?*
Yes No N/A
4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated at a
treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant.
Wastewater will be directed to the City of Durham Sanitary sewer lines which direct sewage flows to waste water treatment plants.

Yes No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
S&EC completed a Threatened & Endangered Species Report, to include a Self -Certification letter through the US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), a
query through the NC Natural Heritage Program database, and an official Species List through the iPac. A formal request was sent to the USFWS on
November 18, 2021. The USFWS has 30 days to respond from the date of the sent request. S&EC has yet to receive a response from USFWS or
concurrence on determinations made by S&EC that the proposed actions is not likely to adversely affect any federally -listed endangered or threatened
species, their formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Please see
attached S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species report. S&EC will provide any information received from USFWS.

Re: THREATENED & ENDANGERED SPECIES REPORT
Harlowe Point (+/- 52 acres)
1011 South Mineral Spring Road, Durham, Durham County, NC
Dear Mr. Dorn:
On November 10, 2021, Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA (S&EC) evaluated the Harlowe Point
property shown on the attached maps for potential endangered species. The property is located at 1011
South Mineral Spring Road in Durham County, NC. Surface waters on -site flow into Little Lick Creek in
the Neuse River Basin, which has been classified in the "Classification and NC DWQ Standards
Applicable to Surface Waters and Wetlands of North Carolina" as WS-IV; NSW.
We obtained the attached automatically generated official species list from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service (FWS) and N.C. Natural Heritage Program (NHP) report identifying the protected species on or
within one mile of the project area that could potentially be affected by the project. These FWS & NHP
reports were updated as of the date of this report. The official species list is valid for 90 days.
We conducted site assessments to identify potential suitable habitat and preliminary surveys for the
individual species listed on the official species list. This included assessing the physical characteristics of
the streams, identifying forest types, and looking for evidence of the listed species on -site. This survey
did not include any detailed sampling or netting. The results of the search are discussed below.
Harlowe Point - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report
Page 1 of 5

November 16, 2021
S&EC Project #13476.W15
RESULTS:
The FWS official species list identified the following species for the Evaluation limits:
• Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisl) , Proposed Threatened
• Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus) , Proposed Endangered
• Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxil) , Endangered
• Rough -leaved Loosestrife (Lysimachia asperulaefolia), Endangered
Of the species identified on the official species list, the NHP report did not identify any Federally
threatened or endangered species within the project area or within one mile of the project area. Other
State listed species were found within the project area as listed in the attached NHP report. The NHP
report identified six managed areas within the project area or within one mile of the project area. These
are listed out in the attached NHP Report.
NEUSE RIVER WATERDOG (Necturus lewisrl:
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on -site for potential suitable habitat for
the Neuse River Waterdog. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the
project area or within one mile of the site. This species is found in the Neuse River and Tar River
basins. The suitable habitat this species is found in is typically medium to large streams and rivers with
a moderate gradient and large bed material. The Neuse River Waterdog also needs riffles, runs, and
pools. While we did not specifically sample for the species, we also did not find any evidence of the
species while conducting our preliminary surveys of the streams for potential suitable habitat.
Our preliminary survey concluded that potential suitable habitat does exist on -site. The perennial
stream was +/-6 feet wide with medium baseflow and had a sandy rocky substrate. Additionally, the
other streams on -site did not have suitable habitat. There are no proposed permanent impacts to the
perennial stream. Due to these observations, we have concluded that the project would have "No
effect' on the Neuse River Waterdog.

CAROLINA MADTOM (Noturus furiosus):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on -site for potential suitable habitat for
the Carolina Madtom. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project
area or within one mile of the site. This species is found in the Neuse River and Tar River basins. The
suitable habitat this species is found in is also medium to large streams and rivers with a moderate
gradient and large bed material. The Carolina Madtom also needs continuous year-round flow and
cover for nesting habitat. While we did not specifically sample for the species, we also did not find any
evidence of the species while conducting our preliminary surveys of the streams for potential suitable
habitat.
Our preliminary survey concluded that potential suitable habitat does exist on -site. The perennial
stream was +/-6 feet wide with medium baseflow and had a sandy rocky substrate. Additionally, the
other streams on -site did not have suitable habitat. There are no proposed permanent impacts to the
perennial stream. Due to these observations, we have concluded that the project would have "No
effect' on the Carolina Madtom.
MICHAUX'S SUMAC (Rhus michauxii):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of suitable habitat within the project area. We visited
a known population of Michaux's sumac within Wake County prior to conducting our preliminary
surveys. We found no individual Michaux's Sumac species within the project area. The NHP report
did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project area. We found suitable habitat within
the project areas to include primarily disturbed open areas along roads and easements. It should be
noted that this preliminary survey was done outside of the optimal survey window (May -October), but
the species on the reference site still had visible leaves. Given the lack of species present within the
areas believed to be suitable habitat, we concluded that the project would have "No effect "on
Michaux's sumac. We recommend consulting with the USFWS to see if follow up surveys within the
optimal survey window will be necessary.
SMOOTH CONEFLOWER (Echinacea laevizata):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of suitable habitat within the project area. We found
no individual Smooth Coneflower species within the project area. The NHP report did not list any
Harlowe Point - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report

November 16, 2021
S&EC Project #13476.W15
known elemental occurrence within the project area. We found suitable habitat within the project areas
to include primarily disturbed open areas along easements and roads. It should be noted that this
preliminary survey was done outside of the optimal survey window (May -October) . While we did not
find any Smooth Coneflower within the project area, our survey was conducted outside of the optimal
survey window and as suitable habitat was found it is possible that Smooth Coneflower exists and
therefore, we concluded the project would "May affect" Smooth Coneflower. We recommend
consulting with the USFWS and/or conducting follow up surveys within the optimal survey window.
BALD EAGLE (Haliaeetus leucocephalus):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of suitable habitat, nesting sites, and individual Bald
Eagles within the project area. During our survey, we found no evidence of Bald Eagles or any nesting
sites within the project area. The NHP report did not identify any known nests on -site or within one
mile of the site. Given the lack of species present, we have concluded that the project is " Unlikely to
disturb nesting bald eagles ". We believe no Eagle Act Permit is required.
NORTHERN LONG-EARED BAT (Myotis septentrionalis):
S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys for suitable habitat and individual Northern Long-
eared Bats (NLEB's) within the project area. During our survey, we found no individual species.
Relying upon the findings of the 1/5/2016 Programmatic Biological Opinion for Final 4(d) Rule on the
Northern Long -Eared Bat and Activities Excepted from Take Prohibitions to fulfill our project -specific
section 7 responsibilities." Due to the nature of the project being residential development, we
concluded that the project would "May affect, but not likely to adversely affect" NLEB's.
CONCLUSION:
After completing the habitat assessments and preliminary surveys, S&EC completed the attached
"Species Conclusion Table" and "Self -Certification Letter". Using language typically used by the FWS
in their conclusion letters, we have concluded that it appears the proposed project is not likely to
adversely affect any federally listed endangered or threatened species, their formally designated
critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
However, as suitable habitat exists for Smooth Coneflower the USFWS should be consulted to
determine if surveys need to occur during the optimal survey windows for Smooth Coneflower to

Consultation Code: 04EN2000-2022-SLI-0227
Event Code: 04EN2000-2022-E-00506
Project Name: South Mineral Springs
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

11/09/2021 Event Code: 04EN2000-2022-E-00506 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 5 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

RE: South Mineral Springs; 13476
Dear Robert Zarzecki:
13. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
Nr ►�l0ldD]MG�W'LI
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:
httr)s://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, Land and Water 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 rod ney.butler�ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

Dear Applicant:
Thank you for using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) Raleigh Ecological

accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531-1544, 87 Stat.
884), as amended (ESA), and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C.
668-668c, 54 Stat. 250), as amended (Eagle Act). This letter also provides
information for your project review under the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (P.L. 91-190, 42 U.S.C. 4321-4347, 83 Stat. 852), as amended. A copy of this
letter and the project review package must be submitted to this office for this
certification to be valid. This letter and the project review package will be maintained
in our records.
The species conclusions table in the enclosed project review package summarizes
your ESA and Eagle Act conclusions. Based on your analysis, mark all the
determinations that apply:
"no effect" determinations for proposed/listed species and/or
✓ proposed/designated critical habitat; and/or
0 "may affect, not likely to adversely affect" determinations for proposed/listed
species and/or proposed/designated critical habitat; and/or

We certify that use of the online project review process in strict accordance with the
instructions provided as documented in the enclosed project review package results in
reaching the appropriate determinations. Therefore, we concur with the "no effect" or
"not likely to adversely affect" determinations for proposed and listed species and
proposed and designated critical habitat; the "may affect" determination for Northern
long-eared bat; and/or the "no Eagle Act permit required" determinations for eagles.
Additional coordination with this office is not needed. Candidate species are not
legally protected pursuant to the ESA. However, the Service encourages consideration
of these species by avoiding adverse impacts to them. Please contact this office for
additional coordination if your project action area contains candidate species.
Should project plans change or if additional information on the distribution of
proposed or listed species, proposed or designated critical habitat, or bald eagles
becomes available, this determination may be reconsidered. This certification letter is
valid for 1 year. Information about the online project review process including
instructions, species information, and other information regarding project reviews
within North Carolina is available at our website http://www.fws.gov/raleigh/pp.html.
