SAW-2019-02335 County: Wake U.S.G.S. Quad: NC- Angier NOTIFICATION OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION Requestor: Environmental Services, Inc. Robert Turnbull Address: 4901 Trademark Drive Raleigh, NC 27610 Telephone Number: 919-617-9153 E-mail: rturnbull(a)csinc.cc Size (acres) 82 Nearest Town Fuguay Varina Nearest Waterway Middle Creek River Basin Neuse USGS HUC 03020201 Coordinates Latitude: 35.5977 Longitude:-78.7176 Location description: The project site is approximately 82 acres located adiacent to Hilltop Road, near the town of Funuav Varina, Wake County, North Carolina. Indicate Which of the Following Apply: A. Preliminary Determination ® There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction. ❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. B. Approved Determination ❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are waters, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps. ❑ The waters, including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once SAW-2019-02335 verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years. ❑ The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at (252) 808-2808 to determine their requirements. Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact James Lastinger at 919-554-4884 ext 32 or James.C.Lastint!er(&usace. army.mil. C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination form dated 02/19/2020. D. Remarks: None. E. Attention USDA Program Participants This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate. 2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AID before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an AID constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.

The property is located at 6490 Hilltop Road in Wake County, NC. Surface waters on -site flow into Terrible 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 C; 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. Bexford Hilltop - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 1 of 6 September 8, 2021 S&EC Project #14866.W1 RESULTS: The FWS official species list identified the following species for the Evaluation limits: • Red -cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis) , Endangered • Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisl) , Proposed Threatened • Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus) , Proposed Endangered • Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masons), Proposed Threatened • Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) , Endangered • Yellow Lance (Elliptio lanceolata) , Threatened • Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxil) , 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 two managed areas within the project area or within one mile of the project area. These are listed out in the attached NHP Report. RED -COCKADED WOODPECKER (Picoides borealis): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of suitable habitat (foraging and cavity trees) and individual Red -cockaded Woodpeckers (RCWs) within the project area. We found no individual RCWs within the project area. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project area or within one mile of the site. We found no ideal suitable habitat (e.g., Long Leaf pine forests) within the project area. The Loblolly pine stands on -site are too young (± 20 years old) to be considered suitable habitat. Given the lack of species present, and no presence of suitable habitat we concluded that the project would have "No effect" on RCWs. 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 Bexford Hilltop - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 2 of 6 September 8, 2021 S&EC Project #14866.W1 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 not exist on -site. The streams on - site were +/-4 feet wide with medium to no baseflow and had a sandy gravel substrate. 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 (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 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 not exist on -site. The streams on - site were +/-4 feet wide with medium to no baseflow and had a sandy gravel substrate. Due to these observations, we have concluded that the project would have "No effect" on the Carolina Madtom. ATLANTIC PIGTOE (Fusconaia masoni): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on -site 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 one 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. Bexford Hilltop - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 3 of 6 September 8, 2021 S&EC Project #14866.W1 Our preliminary survey concluded that potential suitable habitat does not exist on -site. The streams on - site were +/-4 feet wide with medium to no baseflow and had a sandy gravel substrate. Due to these observations, we have concluded that the project would have "No effect" on the Atlantic Pigtoe. DWARF WEDGEMUSSEL (Alasmidonta heterodon): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on -site for potential suitable habitat for the Dwarf Wedgemussel (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 one mile of the site. The Dwarf Wedgemussel has little to no preference for stream size, flow condition or bed material. Based on guidance from the USFWS staff, only 2nd order and larger perennial streams are considered suitable habitat. While we did not conduct detailed mussel surveys, no mussels (of any species) were observed during the preliminary suitable habitat survey. Our preliminary survey concluded that potential suitable habitat does not exist on -site. The streams on site were +/-4 feet wide with medium to no baseflow and had a sandy gravel substrate. Due to these observations, we have concluded that the project would have "No effect" on the Dwarf Wedgemussel. YELLOW LANCE (Elliptio lanceolata): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on site for potential suitable habitat for the Yellow Lance (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 one mile of the site. The suitable habitat for this species consists of medium sized rivers and small creeks with excellent water quality. This species typically lives in streams clean, 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 on -site. The streams on - site were +/-4 feet wide with medium to no baseflow and had a sandy gravel substrate. Due to these observations, we have concluded that the project would have "No effect" on the Yellow Lance. Bexford Hilltop - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 4 of 6 September 8, 2021 S&EC Project #14866.W1 MICHAUX'S SUMAC Whys 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 field edges, roads, paths, and pond edges. Other sumac species identified on -site included Winged sumac (Rhus copallinum). 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. 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 Bexford Hilltop - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 5 of 6 September 8, 2021 S&EC Project #14866.W1 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 08/09/2021 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-03713 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.

Reid Wilson, 5eeretary Waiter Clark Director, Division of land and Water Stewardship NCNHDE-15355 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: https://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.
