Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 4g. Total permanent open water impacts: 0.00 la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: S&EC completed a wetland delineation and buffer evaluation for the entire property so that natural resources can be identified and impacts minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Impact area 1 (S1) is proposed permanent, permanent -no permanent loss, and temporary stream impacts for a road crossing. This road crossing is necessary to provide access to the lots on the western side of the development. The proposed crossing has been designed to cross the stream at a perpendicular angle. During construction, temporary coffer dams, sediment bags, and pump will be utilized to construct the crossing in the under dry conditions. A riprap dissipator will be placed at the end of the downstream outlet to reduce stream velocities and minimize stream degradation. Impact area 1 (W1) is proposed permanent wetland impacts for a greenway and grading. The greenway is a proposed 5' mulch trail that has been shifted west to minimize total wetland impacts. Impact area 2 is proposed permanent and permanent -no permanent loss wetland impacts for a 5' wide mulch greenway trail and utility crossing. The utility and mulch greenway will cross the wetland at a narrow point and will share the same easement which minimizes the impacts to the natural resources. The utility crossing is necessary to provide sanitary sewer to the development and connect to the existing sewer easement on the north side of the development. Impact Area 3 is proposed dam rehabilitation work that is being required by Dam Safety, see Notice of Inspection letter dated August 5, 2019 from NCDEQ-Land Quality Section. lb. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Stream Crossings will include either a stream diversion or pump -around. Work in wetland areas will be limited and will utilize mats or other means to avoid and minimize impacts. The Erosion Control plan will be approved by Apex and will specify measures such as silt fence and sediment basins to avoid offsite sedimentation. 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?

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 Huxley project is a residential development. Additionally, the project is located within the Town of Apex ETJ, therefore the adjacent properties that have potential for development will have the following regulations to protect downstream waters: 1) the Jordan Watershed Riparian Buffer Protection regulations, these regulations require limited development within the riparian buffer area in addition to "diffuse flow" requirements and could require Best Management Practices that control nitrogen if diffuse flow cannot be achieved; 2) the Water Supply, Watershed Protection Program which limits development densities as well as requires protective riparian buffers; and 3) 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. 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.

The project study area is highlighted within the red polygon on the enclosed "Wetland Sketch Map" dated December 4, 2020. The Approved Jurisdictional Determination area is highlighted on the enclosed "Wetland Sketch Map" within the green polygon. Indicate Which of the Following Apply: A. Preliminary Determination X There are waters, including wetlands, on the above described project area, 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. 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 are wetlands on the above described 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 overall 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 of the U.S. on your 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 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 of the U.S., including wetlands, on the above described project area 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.

Page 1 of 5 SAW-2020-01905 _ The waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on your project area have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by the Corps. We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once 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 of the U.S., including wetlands, have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on . 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 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 (LAMA).

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.

A stand-alone TNW determination is conducted for a specific segment of river or stream or other type of waterbody, such as a lake, where upstream or downstream limits or lake borders are established. A stand- alone TNW determination should be completed following applicable guidance and should NOT be documented on the AJD Form.

Corps districts may, in case -by -case instances, choose to identify some or all of these waters within the review area. 5 Because of the broad nature of the (b)(1) exclusion and in an effort to collect data on specific types of waters that would be covered by the (b)(1) exclusion, four sub -categories of (b)(1) exclusions were administratively created for the purposes of the AJD Form. These four sub -categories are not new exclusions, but are simply administrative distinctions and remain (b)(1) exclusions as defined by the NWPR.

Trade Street Suite 1000 Charlotte, NC 28202 Dear Sir or Madam: NORTH CAROLINA Environntenral Quality NOTICE OF INSPECTION July 16, 2019 (Revised 8/5/2019) RE: Hackney Gardner Darn Wake County, North Carolina Cape Fear River Basin The Dam Safety Law of 1967, as amended, provides for the certification and inspection of dams in the interest of public health, safety, and welfare, in order to reduce the risk of failure of such dams; to prevent injuries to persons, damage to property; and to insure the maintenance of stream flows. Our records indicate you are the owner of the referenced dace, which is located off Olive Chapel Road. This dam was inspected on May 24, 2019, by personnel of the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR). This inspection revealed the conditions outlined below: l . Trees and bushes are growing primarily on the downstream slope of the darn, This type of growth can cause problems by creating holes when trees are uprooted due to wind or ice; by leaving possible seepage holes when trees die and their roots decay; and by causing erosion of the darn around this growth should the dam overtop during heavy rains. Therefore, we recommend that this type of growth be removed and a good grass cover be established on the dam. All trees less than or equal to six inches in diameter should be promptly removed by cutting flush with the ground surface. Though it is not our policy to allow any tree rr;rin C'nt \110Ci'.� -]n 9i:•I F�3'a'1t'yl": 2rtlli:rl'-I (ft Prf` MLi•; 'i?i •. !r:. [`Mn; Nr i5c?+:g ar"+;;: f)+lye• Raleigh..Noi- 1 Carolina 2,09 Hackney Gardner Dam WAKE-203 Page 2 of 3 growth on a dam, it is recommended that all trees with trunks greater than approximately six inches in diameter (at chest height) not be removed without engineering supervision. Removal of such trees that are in poor condition or otherwise pose a threat to the structural integrity of the dam is strongly recommended and may be required, In these cases, approval must be obtained from the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources prior to removal. For additional guidance regarding the impacts of woody vegetation on darns refer to FEMA Publication 534 "Technical Manual for Darn Owaiers: Impacts of Plants on Earthen Dams" (you may download this from. FEMA at: littps://www.fema.goy/media-library/assets/dociiments/1027)-. 2. The primary spillway riser pipe/trashrack appears to be askew and may be damaged. Assessment of the condition or the riser should be made by a qualified engineer. Any repairs undertaken will require prior approval by this Division. 3. The outlet end of the primary spillway barrel pipe through the dam is deteriorated from lust. Deterioration of the barrel pipe can cause failure of the dam due to erosion through deteriorated areas of the pipe within the dam. The extent of the deterioration should be investigated fiirther. Be advised that repairs to the pipe require an engineer's design and supervision and approval from this Department before any work can be done. The following items pertinent to inaintenance.and operation of tiie dam are also recommended, 1. Maintain a ground cover sufficient to restrain accelerated erosion on all earthen portions of the structure. 2. Periodically remove trees less than about six inches in diameter and thick undergrowth from the slopes and crest of the dam, This will serve to prevent the formation of a root system which might significantly increase seepage throughthe darn which could ultimately result in failure of the structure; reduce the possibility of damage to the dam due to the uprooting of trees by wind or other natural causes; and facilitate ease of inspection and increase the likelihood of early detection of more serious problems connected with the darn. S, Periodically remove all trees from the emergency spillway. This will maximize capacity should the emergency spillway become active. Entrapment of debris can impede flow, 4. Periodically check the operation of all drain valve facilities. This will insure satisfactory operation of the drains should an emergency situation arise. 5. Periodically monitor the subject dam and appurtenant works Mth respect to elements affecting its safety, This is in light of the legal duties, obligations,.and liabilities arising from the ownership and/or operation of a dam. Hackney Gardner Darn WAKE-203 Page 3 of 3 During this inspection, we also investigated the potential for property damage and loss of life in the event that your darn fails. Due to residential development below the darn, the hazard classification is currently under review. Please be advised that though we make every reasonable effort to determine the safety of your dam, our resources limit us to surficial inspection. There is no certainty regarding the internal stability of the dam. Dams, and especially their spillways and conduits, deteriorate with age. Therefore, you are advised to keep a close watch on your dam and to notify us if you detect any changes, especially cracks, ground movements, or changes in seepage rate or color. Please note that any repair, modification, or permanent breach of your dam will require prior approval from DEMLR under the Dam Safety Law of 1967 (NCGS §143- 215,23). Essentially, the Dam Safety Law requires dam owners to submit plans prepared by a legally -qualified professional engineer for review and approval by DEMLR. The engineer's design and application submittal must meet the requirements ofTitle 15A Subchapter 2K of the North Carolina Administrative Code, which sets out minimum design standards for dams under the jurisdiction of the Dam Safety Law to protect the downstream public from the consequences of dam failure. For additional assistance you may visit the DEMLR web site at https://deq.nc.gov/abort/division/energy-iiiiner,il-laiict-resources.. The DEMLR Regional Office may be contacted at 919-791-4200 and the Darn Safety Program in the DEMLR Central Office may be reached at 919-707-9219. Your cooperation and consideration in maintaining a safe clam is appreciated. If ownership of the dam has changed, or if you are not responsible for the dam, please notify us so that we can update our records.

The property is located at 0 Olive Capel Road in Wake County, NC. Surface waters on -site flow into Reed Branch 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 on -site. This survey did not include any detailed sampling or netting. The results of the search are discussed below. Hasse Ave - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 1 of 5 March 4, 2022 S&EC Project #13566.W6 RESULTS: The FWS official species list identified the following species for the Evaluation limits: • Red -cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Endangered • Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masons), Proposed 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 one natural area and ten 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. There are mature Loblolly pines near the home and ponds, but no cavity trees were observed. Given the lack of species present, and no presence of suitable habitat we concluded that the project would have "No effect" on RCWs. ATLANTIC PIGTOE (Fusconaia masonrl: 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. Hasse Ave - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 2 of 5 March 4, 2022 S&EC Project #13566.W6 Our preliminary survey concluded that potential suitable habitat does exist on -site. Reedy Branch was +/-6 feet wide with high baseflow and had a sandy substrate. Additionally, the other streams on -site did not have suitable habitat. There are no proposed impacts to Reedy Branch, and because of this we have concluded that the project would have "No effect" on the Atlantic Pigtoe. MICHAUX'S SUMAC (Rhus 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, pond edges, and roads. It should be noted that this preliminary survey was done outside of the optimal survey window (May - October). While we did not find any Michaux's Sumac plants within the project area, our survey was conducted outside of the optimal survey window and as suitable habitat was found it is possible that Michaux's Sumac exists and therefore we concluded the project would "May affect" Michaux's Sumac. We recommend consulting with the USFWS and/or conducting follow up surveys within the optimal survey window. 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 (Moods 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 Hasse Ave - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 3 of 5 March 4, 2022 S&EC Project #13566.W6 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 critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). However, as suitable habitat exists for Michaux's Sumac the USFWS should be consulted to determine if surveys need to occur during the optimal survey windows for Michaux's Sumac to ensure that no plants exist within the disturbed limits of the project. We strongly recommend requesting a concurrence letter from the FWS. Sincerely, SOIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS, PA Mason Montgomery Environmental Scientist, Wetlands Department Attachments: 1.

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. 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 is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major 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)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological 02/15/2022 evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that 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. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), 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 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php. The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan (when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to- birds.php. In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/ executive-orders/e0-13186. php. 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 Code in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office. 02/15/2022 Attachment(s): • Official Species List 02/15/2022 Official Species List This list is provided pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, and fulfills the requirement for Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary of the Interior information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of a proposed action".

Reid Wilson, Secretary Misty Buchanan Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program NCNHDE-17174 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: 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.
