4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the project is to construct a medical/office park within the tract to serve the medical and business needs of the community. The project area is located within the fastest
growing part of New Bern. Jurisdictional ditch impacts are needed for site construction.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:
New Market - HDS, LLC intends to develop a medical/office park on 7.81 acres off of Waterscape Way within the Carolina Colours development to meet the increasing demand for such
services in the fastest growing area of New Bern. The first phase of the development will consist of a 10,600 square foot multidisciplinary medical facility. Future phases will include
multiple buildings totaling an additional 20,450 square feet of medical and/or general office space. Additionally, parking areas, accessways, and stormwater ponds will be needed.
Sedimentation and erosion control measures will be installed and the limits of disturbance will be cleared of vegetation and graded. Ditches will be filled and accessways, stormwater
ponds, and utilities will be installed. Then building construction will occur. Track hoe, loader, dump truck, bob cat, and other standard construction equipment will be used.

5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
The NC Natural Heritage Program database was reviewed to determine if any rare species are known to occur on or near the site. According to their
files, no rare species are known to occur on site. There is an historic occurrence (1949) of the sensitive jointvetch within one mile of the site. The site
does not provide suitable habitat for this species. The USFWS IPaC database was also reviewed and several species were identified as potentially
occurring in the region. Many of these species require coastal and/or marine habitat and would not be found within the site. Forested uplands support a
mix of pines and hardwoods in the canopy and a moderately dense shrub layer and is unlikely to provide suitable habitat for the RCW. Forested areas
within the site may provide suitable roosting habitat for the northern long-eared bat. However, this species has not been documented in Craven County.
The site does not appear to provide suitable habitat for any other species known to occur in the area.

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

The NC State Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS mapping resource was used to determine the presence of known cultural or historic resources.
No cultural or historical resources were noted within or adjacent to the site.
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?*
FEMA Flood Map Service website
