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:
The culvert length was reduced by replacing an 80' culvert with a 30' HDPE. The smaller culvert will still allow for a 16' driveway crossing while
minimizing total impacts to the wetland area. Boulder wing walls are used instead of concrete walls to provide useful habitat and a natural look. Erosion
control measures are added into the design, including silt fencing, to reduce sedimentation to aquatic resources.

1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
All disturbances will be stabilized same -day, covered with erosion control matting, and seeded to reduce sedimentation during construction. All
equipment used will be in good condition and well -maintained. No equipment leaks will be tolerated. Silt fence will be used to prevent sedimentation.
Construction will work outside of aquatic resources whenever possible and in the wetland only if absolutely necessary.

2. INTRODUCTION AND LOCATION
A United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Jurisdictional Wetland Delineation and NC DWQ Stream
Determination were performed for a project site in Watauga County, North Carolina on May 10th, 2022. This
report presents the findings of "waters of the United States" including jurisdictional streams and wetlands, and
"waters of the State". The Subject Property (36.185701°,-81.705257°) is located off 2203 Russ Cornet Road in
Boone, NC.
The jurisdictional wetland delineation was conducted according to guidelines set forth in the USACE
"Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and
Piedmont Region (Version 2.0)" (April 2012). The hydrologic determination was conducted according to the
guidelines set forth in the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NC DWQ) "Methodology for Identification
of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins (Version 4.11)" (Sept. 2010). As the regulating
authority of Section 404/401 of the Clean Water Act, the USACE and state of North Carolina must make the
final determination as to the jurisdictional status of this site.
One jurisdictional wetland area was identified on the Subject Property, referred to as Wetland 1 (W1). Adam
Williams and Sarah Kilby, of Brushy Fork Environmental Consulting, Inc. (BFEC), located and flagged the
jurisdictional wetland area shown on the attached Jurisdictional Site Map given in Appendix C.
3. REGULATORY DEFINITIONS
"Waters of the United States" are regulated by the Corps of Engineers based on authority from Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act. They include waters that are or could be used for interstate commerce such as rivers,
wetlands, lakes, territorial seas, and ponds, as well as streams, waterways, and ditches below the "Ordinary
High -Water Mark (OHWM)". Manmade water bodies and farmed wetlands may also be considered
jurisdictional depending on their connection to other "waters of the U.S." if they are not actively mined,
farmed, or otherwise managed for five (5) years. A specific detailed definition of "waters of the United States"
can be found in the Federal Register (33 CFR 328.3). Activities in these areas will require a Corps of Engineers
permit if they include the discharge of dredged of fill material into "waters of the U.S.".
"Waters of the State" are "any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir,
waterway, or other body or accumulation of water. They can be surface or underground, public, or private,
natural, or artificial. Finally, they must be contained in, flow through, or border upon any portion of this State
(North Carolina) (including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction)." This
definition is provided by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of
Water Resources, 401 Buffer Permitting Unit.
4. TECHNICAL DEFINITIONS
Wetlands are defined as areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and
duration enough to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation
typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. They are identified based on the three -parameter
approach outlined in the Corps of Engineers "Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional" (2012). The three criteria include hydrophytic
2

vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. Generally, all three criteria must be present to make a
positive wetland determination. The criteria are defined as follows:
Hydrophytic vegetation, due to morphological, physiological and/or reproductive adaptation(s), has the ability
to grow, effectively compete, reproduce, and/or persist in anaerobic soil conditions. Individual species have
been assigned indicator status by the USFWS - National Wetland Inventory and the National Plant List Panel.
Vegetation is considered hydric when more than 50% of the dominant species from all strata are OBL, FACW,
FAC+ or FAC. Secondary vegetation rules include the species Prevalence Index which takes non -dominant
species into consideration, observed plant morphological and physiological adaptations, and certain
problematic wetland situations.
Indicator Status
Probability of Occurrence in Wetlands
Obligate Wetland - OBL
> 99%
Facultative Wetland - FACW
67-99%
Facultative - FAC
34-66%
Facultative Upland - FACU
1-33%
Obligate Upland - UPL
<1%
Hydric soils are present if they have been classified as hydric or when they possess characteristics associated
with reducing soil conditions known as hydric indicators. Wetland soils were evaluated for hydric indicators
with the USDA/NRCS report "Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States, A Guide for Identifying and
Delineating Hydric Soils, Version8.2, 2018". Hydric soils in this report are those where an indicator for "All" or
"Loamy and Clayey" soils (USDA Land Resource Region "N") is present. Colors were determined using the
Munsell soil color chart.
Hydrology in wetlands occurs in areas inundated permanently or periodically at mean water depths of <6.6
feet, or if the soil is saturated to the surface for approximately nine (9) days consecutively during the growing
season of the prevalent vegetation. Wetland hydrology indicators may be present above or below the surface.
Primary indicators include inundation, saturation in the upper 12 inches, watermarks on standing structure,
sediment deposits and hydrogen sulfide odor. A minimum of one primary indicator is required for the
presence of a wetland. Secondary indicators (two or more required) include drainage patterns, moss trim
lines, crayfish burrows, and the FAC-neutral test.
In general, an area must meet all three criteria to be classified as a wetland. In certain "naturally problematic"
areas such as seasonal wetlands which are not wet at all times, or in recently disturbed situations, an area may
be considered a wetland if only two criteria are met.
Perennial stream means a well-defined channel that contains water year-round during a year of normal
rainfall with the aquatic bed located below the water table for most of the year. Groundwater is the primary
source of water for a perennial stream, but it also carries stormwater runoff. A perennial stream exhibits the
typical biological, hydrological, and physical characteristics commonly associated with the continuous
conveyance of water. [15A NCAC 02B .0233(2)(i)]
Intermittent stream means a well-defined channel that contains water for only part of the year, typically
during winter and spring when the aquatic bed is below the water table. The flow may be heavily
3

supplemented by stormwater runoff. An intermittent stream often lacks the biological and hydrological
characteristics commonly associated with the conveyance of water. [15A NCAC 02B .0233(2)(g)]
Ephemeral (stormwater) stream means a feature that carries only stormwater in direct response to
precipitation with water flowing only during and shortly after large precipitation events. An ephemeral stream
may or may not have a well-defined channel, the aquatic bed is always above the water table, and stormwater
runoff is the primary source of water. An ephemeral stream typically lacks the biological, hydrological, and
physical characteristics commonly associated with the continuous or intermittent conveyance of water. [15A
NCAC 02B .0233(2)(d)]
5. SITE DESCRIPTION
5.1 General
The Subject Property consists of ±2.249 acres located off Russ Cornett Road in Watauga County, NC (PIN 2809-
17-7373-000). The entire Subject Property was evaluated for aquatic resources subject to federal and state
jurisdiction. Elevations on -site range between ±3795 and ±3810 feet above mean sea level (Appendix B).
The Subject Property is in the Headwaters South Fork New River Watershed (HUC12: 050500010201), in the
New River Basin. All streams on -site ultimately drain to Harrison Branch, which is off the property to the
southwest. Harrison Branch is classified as Class C.
5.2 Soils
Two (2) soil units are mapped on the USDA Soil Map for the Subject Property (Appendix D). Nikwasi loam
(59.5% of the parcel) contains a hydric soil rating and is mapped across the center of the parcel. Saunook loam
occupies the remainder of the parcel to the north and south (40.5%).
The soil units are described in detail below. Soils was compiled from U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey data, accessed 05/09/2022.

5.3 Wetlands
BFEC delineated one jurisdictional wetland areas on -site (Wetland 1) and completed the USACE Wetland
Determination Datasheets for the associated sample points (S1, S2) on May 10th, 2022. The wetland boundary
and location of soil sample points are presented in the Jurisdictional Determination Map in Appendix C.

Wetland 1 (±0.289 ac)
Wetland 1, ±0.289 acres, exists as a linear swale parallel to Russ Cornett Rd. Two existing culvert tiles are
located within the wetland but currently exist in poor condition with signs of failure. Wetland 1 begins to
channelize near the western property line downslope of a culvert outlet. Hydrology is supported by run-off
from the surrounding topography and a nearby spring. Surface water, saturation, and a high water table were
primary hydrologic indicators observed at the time of the site visit. Vegetation within the wetland consisted of
Juncus effusus, Carex vulpinoidea and Packera aurea, resulting in a prevalence index of 2.09.
The soil sample from 0-4" presented a matrix of 2.5YR 5/8 (95%) with 5% redox concentration. From 4-8" S1
presented a matrix of 7.5YR 4/1 (70%) with 15% redox features in pore linings and a depletion of 10YR 7/6
(15%). From 8-12" S1 presented a matrix of 2.5YR 7/6 (65%) with 20% redox features in pore linings and a
depletion of 10YR 4/1 (15%). S1 soil sample met the conditions for "Redox Depressions (F8)" and "Depleted
Matrix (F3)", indications of hydric soil.
See wetland datasheets in Appendix E and photographs in Appendix F.
5.4 Streams
No streams were identified on -site in association with the project scope. BFEC did not complete NC DWQ
Stream ID Forms for any features on May 10th, 2022.

1) 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 AJD 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 AJD 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:

Project Code: 2022-0046581
Project Name: David Moses
May 24, 2022
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 enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The enclosed 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.).
Please note that new species information can change your official species list. 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. The Service recommends you visit the ECOS-IPaC website at
regular intervals during project planning and implementation to ensure your species list is
accurate or obtain an updated species list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A biological assessment (BA) or biological evaluation (BE) should be completed for your
project. A BA is required for major construction activities (or other undertakings having similar
physical impacts) considered to be Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c))
(NEPA). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a BE be
prepared to determine effects of the action and whether those effects may affect listed species
and/or designated critical habitat. E?ects of the action are all consequences to listed species or

05/24/2022 2
critical habitat that are caused by the proposed action, including the consequences of other
activities that are caused by the proposed action. A consequence is caused by the proposed action
if it is reasonably certain to occur and would not occur "but for" the proposed action..
Recommended contents of a BA/BE are described at 50 CFR 402.12. More information and
resources about project review and preparing a BA/BE can be found at the following web link:
https://www.fws. gov/office/asheville-ecological-services/asheville-field-office-online-review-
process-overview.
If a Federal agency determines listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected
by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR
402. The Service is not required to concur with "no effect" determinations from Federal action
agencies. If consultation is required, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed
species, proposed critical habitat, and at -risk species be addressed within the consultation. More
information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of
permit or licensed applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook"
at the following web link: https://www.fws.gov/media/endangered-species-consultation-
handbook.
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Act, there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA)
and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project -
related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds,
including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12
and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). More information about MBTA and BGEPA can be found at the
following web link: hops://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-birds.
We appreciate your consideration of Federally listed species. The Service encourages Federal
agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species in their project planning
to further the purposes of the Act. Please contact our staff at 828-258-3939, if you have any
questions. In any future correspondence concerning this project, please reference the
Consultation Code which can be found in the header of this letter.

Migratory Birds
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act1 and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Actz.
Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to
migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and consider
implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below.
1. The Migratory Birds Treaty Act of 1918.
2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940.
3. 50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)
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 use your migratory bird report, can be
found below.
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

Probability Of Presence Summary
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be
present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project
activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the

05/24/2022 3
FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting
to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence ( 1)
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week
months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see
below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher
confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in
the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for
that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee
was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is
0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence
in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12
(0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on
week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the
probability of presence score.
Breeding Season ( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across
its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project
area.
Survey Effort (I)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of
surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
No Data (—)
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on
all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Migratory Birds FAQ
Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts
to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes 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 measures or 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 datasets and 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 Act
requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your
project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list
of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data
provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing
collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets .
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information
becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and
how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me
about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my
project area?

05/24/2022 6
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding,
wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab
of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of
interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your
migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your
project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds
elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
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 Act requirements (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 Shelf project 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 Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report

05/24/2022 7
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of
birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for
identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC
use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be
aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no
data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey
effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you
know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement
conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,
should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell
me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.
