Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 2g. Total Permanent Wetland Impact 0.100 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: S&EC completed a wetland delineation and Jordan Watershed buffer evaluation for the entire property in order to identify natural resources so that impacts could be avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Impact 1A is proposed permanent wetland impacts for lot fill. A retaining has been utilized to minimize wetland impacts to the maximum extent practicable. The lot fill is being proposed at the headwaters of wetland W1 to minimize overall proposed impacts. Impact area 1 B is proposed wetland fill for an SCM. The options for locating the SCM on this development site were severely limited by several physical and logistical constraints. Vehicle access to this site is only available from an existing drive on its eastern boundary and, as required by Durham's LIDO, there must be two points of ingress and egress. These vehicle access and connectivity points remove a sizeable portion of the site from consideration for placement of the SCM. This area is further reduced by a LIDO required 50' buffer of a completely non -disturbed area on the eastern perimeter of the site. The northern and southern perimeter buffers were able to be reduced. Additionally, the site's general topography and drainage and areas of steep slope also limit options for SCM placement. Multiple grading studies performed by the project engineers have demonstrated that the only location where the SCM is possible to capture all runoff from the impervious surface of the completed development is the proposed SCM location. The areas of steep slopes along most of the property's western and southern boundaries effectively eliminate those locations also as options for accommodating an SCM. It should be noted that the proposed development has been designed to avoid riparian buffer impacts. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Silt fencing, diversion ditches, and skimmer sediment basins will be utilized. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State? Yes No 2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why: There are no proposed stream impacts and all permanent loss wetland impacts are less than 0.10 of an acre. F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) 1. Diffuse Flow Plan la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules? Yes No What type of SCM are you providing? Level Spreader Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT) Wetland Swale (higher SHWT) Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer 2. Stormwater Management Plan 2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250? Yes No 2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)? Yes No 2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater program? Yes No N/A - project disturbs < 1 acre 2d. Which of the following stormwater management program(s) apply: Local Government State Local Government Stormwater Programs Phasell NSW USMP Water Supply Please identify which local government stormwater program you are using. City of Durham Comments: G. Supplementary Information 1. Environmental Documentation la. 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 518 MLK Jr. Blvd 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 Water Supply, Watershed Protection Program which limits development densities as well as requires protective riparian buffers; 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, and 3) the Jordan Watershed Riparian Buffer Protection regulations, these regulations require limited development within the riparian buffer area in addition to "diffuse flow" requirements and may require Best Management Practices that control nitrogen if diffuse flow cannot be achieved. 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. Non -discharge wastewater will be generated and treated at the Triangle Wastewater Treatment Facility which has a capacity of 12 MGD. 5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement) 5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?* Yes No 5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts?* Yes No 5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted. Raleigh 5d. Is another Federal agency involved?* Yes No 5e. Is this a DOT project located within Division's 1-8? Yes No 5f. Will you cut any trees in order to conduct the work in waters of the U.S.? Yes No 5g. Does this project involve bridge maintenance or removal? Yes No 5h. Does this project involve the construction/installation of a wind turbine(s)?* Yes No Unknown 5i. Does this project involve (1) blasting, and/or (2) other percussive activities that will be conducted by machines, such as jackhammers, mechanized pile drivers, etc.? 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 December 14, 2020. The USFWS has 30 days to respond from the date of the sent request. Please see attached S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species report. S&EC will provide a USFWS response once received. 6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement) 6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?* Yes No 6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat? The NOAA Habitat Conservation/Habitat Protection: National Marine Fish Service; Essential Fish Habitat Mapper website was referenced. No Essential Fish Habitat was identified near the project. 7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement) 7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation status?* Yes No 7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?* The NC State Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS Service interactive map was referenced on August 5, 2021, no historic listings or study list entries or determined eligible listings were identified within the property boundaries. Additionally, no structures exist within the property boundaries. 8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement) 8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain?* Yes No 8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?* NC Flood Risk Information System Floodplain Mapping Program and confirmation from the project engineer.

Please reference this number on any correspondence regarding this action. We have reviewed the information provided by you concerning the aquatic resources, and by copy of this e-mail, are confirming that the aquatic resources delineation has been verified by the Corps to be a sufficiently accurate and reliable representation of the location and extent of aquatic resources within the identified review area. The location and extent of these aquatic resources are shown on the delineation map entitled, "Wetland Sketch Map" and dated 4 29 2019. Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL) 16-01 https://usace.contentdm.ocic.org/utils/getfile/collection/pl602lco119/id/1256 provides guidance for Jurisdictional Determinations (JD) and states, "The Corps generally does not issue a JD of any type where no JD has been requested." Currently, we are only verifying the delineation. This delineation may be relied upon for use in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. This verification does not address nor include any consideration for geographic jurisdiction on aquatic resources and shall not be interpreted as such. This delineation verification is not an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) and is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an AJD, which is an appealable action. If you wish to receive a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD), or an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) please respond accordingly, otherwise nothing further is required and we will not provide any additional documentation. Due to workload volume, it may take 90 -120 days or more for the issuance of a standalone JD; however, you may use the delineation for planning and permitting purposes. Thanks, April April R.

The property is located at 518 Martin Luther King Junior Parkway in Durham County, NC. Surface waters onsite flow into Northeast Creek in the Cape Fear 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 onsite. This survey did not include any detailed sampling or netting. The results of the search are discussed below. New Creation Church (518 MLK Parkway) - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 1 of 4 December 3, 2020 S&EC Project #12446.W8 RESULTS: The FWS official species list identified the following species for the Evaluation limits: • Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), Proposed Threatened • Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxii), Endangered • Smooth Coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), 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 1 mile of the project area. No State listed species were found within the project area. The NHP report identified two managed areas within the project area or within 1 mile of the project area. These are listed out in the attached NHP Report. ATLANTIC PIGTOE (Fusconaia masonry: S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams onsite for potential suitable habitat for the Atlantic Pigtoe (Note: This did not include a detailed aquatic mussel survey for the presence of mussels). The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project area or within 1 mile of the site. The suitable habitat for this species consists of medium sized creeks to large rivers with excellent water quality. This species typically lives in streams with coarse sand and gravel with moderate to high flowing water. 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 not exist onsite. There are no perennial streams onsite. Due to these observations we have concluded that the project would have "No effect" on the Atlantic Pigtoe. NHCHAUX'S SUMAC (Rhus michauxir): 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 no suitable habitat New Creation Church (518 MLK Parkway) - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 2 of 4 December 3, 2020 S&EC Project #12446.W8 within the project areas. The entire project area was walked, and no sumac species were found. It should be noted that this preliminary survey was done outside of the optimal survey window (May - October). Given the lack of species present and lack of suitable habitat, we concluded that the project would have "No effect" on Michaux's Sumac. SMOOTH CONEFLOWER (Echinacea laevigata): 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 known elemental occurrence within the project area. We found no suitable habitat within the project areas. It should be noted that this preliminary survey was done outside of the optimal survey window (May -October). Given the lack of species present and lack of suitable habitat, we have concluded that the project would have "No effect" on Smooth Coneflower. 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 onsite or within 1 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 induvial species. 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 New Creation Church (518 MLK Parkway) - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 3 of 4 December 3, 2020 S&EC Project #12446.W8 critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

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 11/13/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-00497 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/migratory birds/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.

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, Clean Water Management Trust Fund easement, or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area.
