Yes No
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 federally listed species are known to occur within the site. There is one occurrence of the federally listed American alligator within a one mile
radius of the site, likely within the Shallotte River. 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 developable areas within the site.
Forested uplands support pines in the canopy and a fairly dense shrub layer and are unlikely to provide suitable habitat for the RCW. Forested areas
within the site may provide suitable roosting habitat for the northern long-eared bat. Since no hibernacula or maternity roosting trees are known to occur
in the area, any adverse effect from tree clearing would be exempt by the 4(d) rule. The site does not appear to provide suitable habitat for any other
species known to occur in the area.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat? *
Yes No
Are there submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) around the project vicinity?*
Yes
No
Unknown
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat?*
Shallotte River is EFH for several species. The project will be located outside of the NCDCM AEC and will implement stormwater and erosion control
plans. Therefore, no impacts to this resource will occur.
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 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
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements:
The engineer will work with the County floodplain manager to ensure FEMA requirements are met.
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?*
FEMA Flood Map Service Center

The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species.
Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of
the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a
dam upstream of a fish population even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly
impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move,
and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the

ïNationwide conservation measures for birds
The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the USFWS Birds
of Conservation Concern(BCC) list or warrant special attention in your project location. To learn
more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this list is generated, see the FAQ
below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location, nor a guarantee that every bird on
this list will be found in your project area. To see exact locations of where birders and the general
public have sighted birds in and around your project area, visit the E-bird data mapping tool(Tip:

enter your location, desired date range and a species on your list). For projects that occur off the
Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing the relative occurrence and abundance of bird
species on your list are available. Links to additional information about Atlantic Coast birds, and
other important information about your migratory bird list, including how to properly interpret and

For guidance on when to schedule activities or implement avoidance and minimization measures to
reduce impacts to migratory birds on your list, click on the PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE SUMMARY at
the top of your list to see when these birds are most likely to be present and breeding in your project
area.
NAMEBREEDING SEASON(IF A
BREEDING SEASON IS INDICATED
Red-headed Woodpecker Melanerpes erythrocephalus Breeds May 10 to Sep 10
This is a Bird of Conservation Concern (BCC) throughout its range in
the continental USA and Alaska.
Rusty Blackbird Euphagus carolinus Breeds elsewhere
This is a Bird of Conservation Concern (BCC) only in particular Bird
Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA
Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measuresdescribes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any
location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur
in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and
avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur

and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measuresor permits
may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species
present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC)and other species that
may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network
(AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasetsand is queried
and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects,
and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle
(Eagle Actrequirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1."BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern(BCC) that are of concern throughout their range
anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2."BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the
continental USA; and
3."Non-BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of
the Eagle Actrequirements (for eagles) or (for non-eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from
certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to
avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For
more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts
and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.

Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of
bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal
also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review.
Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS
Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelfproject webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year,
including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on
marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Studyand the nanotag studiesor contact Caleb Spiegelor Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?

Marine mammals
Marine mammals are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Some are also protected
under the Endangered Species Act
12
and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.
The responsibilities for the protection, conservation, and management of marine mammals are
shared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service \[responsible for otters, walruses, polar bears, manatees,
and dugongs\] and NOAA Fisheries

Wetlands in the National Wetlands Inventory
Impacts to NWI wetlandsand other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404
of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal statutes.
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial
imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged
aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters.
Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory.
These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery.
Data precautions
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a
different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this
inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the
geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in activities
involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state, or
