4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
The tract contains a mix of uplands and wetlands. Hood Creek forms the western project boundary and several unnamed tributaries of the creek extend into the site. Most stream channels
within the site are between 3' and 4' wide. The southern stream channel is larger, around 5' -7' wide. Additionally, beaver dams in the southwestern part of this channel have created
ponded conditions in the southwestern portion of the site. This area supports a sparse assemblage of bald cypress, black gum, and pine trees. Most of the wetlands located adjacent to the
streams support a fairly dense canopy of black gum, red maple, sweetgum, loblolly pine, willow oak, and water oak. Several small wetland pockets are scattered throughout the site as well
and support a dense stand of sweetgum, red maple and bay species. One manmade pond is located in the central part of the site.
Uplands located throughout the site are managed for silvicultural production and have either been recently cleared or support loblolly pines in varying age categories. The site has been
timbered several times over the years. Most recently, the western and central portions were timbered in 2020 or 2021. These areas now support a developing shrub layer of pines, water
oak, red maple, sweetgum, winged sumac, blackberry, goldenrod, and dog fennel. Trees in the eastern portion of the site were last cut around 2006 and now support rows of loblolly pines
that are around 3" to 8" DBH. There is a moderate shrub layer of gallberry, winged sumac, and sweetgum. Several dirt roads provide access throughout the site. Site development in
Phase 1A (uplands between Malmo Loop Rd and wetlands/stream system) is underway. Adjacent land use consists of a mix of undeveloped and forested land and residential
development.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
Yes No Unknown
If yes, please give the DWR Certification number or the Corps Action ID (exp. SAW-0000-00000).
A NWP 29 was issued for Phase 1A, which authorized 0.09 acre of fill for roads and lot development on 8/24/22 (Action ID #SAW-2022-01061). A 401 WQC was not required since
impacts were less than 0.1 acre. Note that Phase 1A impacts are included in this PCN since they have not yet been authorized by NCDWR.
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
239.3
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
29,700
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of the project is to construct a single family residential development within the site to accommodate the housing needs of the area. Because of the size of the project, it will be
constructed in phases Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and Waters of the US in Phase 1 B are needed for lot fill and roads.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
Phases 1A & 1 B of this residential development will include single family lots (157 units), townhomes (84 units), duplexes (40 units), access roads, and a sanitary sewer pump station.
Roads, utilities, stormwater ponds are also proposed. Roads will be 24" wide and constructed within a 60' ROW. Sidewalks are a requirement of the municipality. Additionally, an existing
dirt road that currently crosses wetlands and streams will be removed. This will result in 0.299 acre of restored wetlands and 89 LF of restored streams. A piling -supported bridge will be
constructed over the streams and wetlands. Pilings will be spaced — 12' wide and no pilings will be located within the streams. The height of the bridge will be a minimum of 4' above the
wetlands.
A wastewater pump station and utility line will be constructed by H2GO in the western portion of the project area. The utility line will be directionally bored under wetlands/stream and will
not impact any jurisdictional features. A gravel road will be constructed in the western portion of the tract to provide access to the utility line corridor.
Erosion control measures will be installed prior to any site disturbance. The limits of disturbance will then be cleared of vegetation. Site grading (including proposed wetland fill) will occur
as depicted on the site plan. Roadways and utilities will be installed. Then home/building construction will occur. Track hoe, loader, dump truck, bob cat, and other standard construction
equipment will be used.
5. Jurisdictional Determinations
5a. Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?*
Yes No
Comments:
5b. If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination, what type of determination was made?*
Preliminary Approved Not Verified Unknown N/A
Corps AID Number:
SAW-2022-01061
5c. If 5a is yes, who delineated the jurisdictional areas?
Name (if known):
Agency/Consultant Company:
Other:
Wes Fryer
Davey Resource Group
Unknown
5d. List the dates of the Corp jurisdiction determination or State determination if a determination was made by the Corps or DWR
Gary Beecher issued the PJD on 8/16/22.
6. Future Project Plans
6a. Is this a phased project?*
Yes No

6b. If yes, explain.
Because of the overall size of the tract, it is being developed in phases (expected to be a 10-year project). Minor wetland impacts (0.09 ac) have been authorized by the USACE for Phase
1A and site construction is underway. Phase 1 B has now been designed and impacts are requested. These impacts are being looked at cumulatively with impacts in Phase 1A . Future
phases will likely have additional wetland/stream impacts and will be looked at cumulatively with impacts in Phase 1A & 1 B.
Are any other NWP(s), regional general permit(s), or individual permits(s) used, or intended to be used, to authorize any part of the proposed project or related activity?
Future phases will likely have additional wetland/stream impacts and will be looked at cumulatively with impacts in Phases 1A & 1 B.

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 or within a one mile radius of the site. The USFWS IPaC database was also reviewed and several
species were identified as potentially occurring in the region. DRG staff performed a T&E habitat assessment for the entire 680-acre site. Hood Creek,
located along the western property boundary, may provide suitable habitat for the American alligator. The tract has been managed for silvicultural
production for many years. Some larger pines exist along stream drains, but vegetation is dense in these areas. Other areas were recently timbered or
support young pines. Therefore, the site does not appear to provide suitable habitat for the RCW. Forested areas within the site could potentially provide
appropriate winter and summer roosting habitat for the northern long-eared bat. Although the bat is known to occur in Brunswick County, no roost trees
have been identified in the county. Therefore, any associated take from the proposed project as a result of cutting trees would be exempt per the
Programmatic Biological Opinion for the NLEB. Finally, ponded areas in the southwestern part of the site may provide suitable foraging habitat for the
wood stork. No impacts to this area are proposed.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?*
Yes No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat? *
NOAA EFH Mapper
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. Additionally, a request for comment was submitted to SHPO for the entire
680-acre tract. They responded and had no comment.
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:
Wetland impacts #1-2 (0.043 ac) are within the 100-yr floodplain. A No -Rise flood study has been completed and the project engineer has submitted this
to Brunswick County and the Town of Leland.
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?*
Information from the engineer.

RE: Malmo Loop Tract; Phases 1A & 113; (formerly called Ashton Woods)
Malmo Loop Rd; Leland; Brunswick County, NC
NWP 29 & 14 Application
Action ID# SAW-2022-01061
To Whom It May Concern:
On behalf of Malmo Ventures, LLC, Davey Resource Group is submitting a Pre -Construction Notification
form and associated attachments for Phases 1A & 113 of the Malmo Loop Tract (formerly called Ashton
Woods) residential development, located off Malmo Loop Rd in Leland, NC. The purpose of the project is
to construct a residential subdivision within the tract to serve the housing needs of Brunswick County.
The entire site is 680 acres. Because of its large size, the applicant plans to develop it in phases over the
next several years. Phases 1A & 113 are the only portions that has been planned to date. Eventually, they
anticipate needing to apply for an IP for road crossings throughout the site, but no site planning has
occurred for these future phases.
A T&E assessment of the entire site was performed and did not identify any issues. The site may provide
suitable habitat for the northern long-eared bat. Since no roost trees are known to occur in Brunswick
County, any adverse effect would be considered exempt per the 4(d) rule. Additionally, streams and
wetlands in the southwestern part of the site may provide suitable habitat for the American alligator and
wood stork, but these areas will be avoided. Also note that we requested comments from SHPO for the
entire site and they didn't have any comments.
The project proposes to impact 0.183 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and 0.10 acre of jurisdictional
ditches for lot fill and roads. To mitigate for these impacts, the applicant proposes restoring wetlands and
streams on site by removing an old road bed. A restoration plan is enclosed.
If you have any questions, or would like to discuss the application, please do not hesitate to call.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,

Size (acres) 686 acres
Nearest Waterway Hood Creek
USGS HUC 03030005
Nearest Town Northwest, NC
River Basin Cape Fear
Coordinates Latitude: 34.258007 Longitude:-78.113536
Location description: This 686 acre site (Ashton Woods) is located off Malmo Loop Road in Northwest, Brunswick County,
NC (Parcel ID: 0280000106).
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
X There appear to be waters, including 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). 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 iurisdiction 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
iurisdictional 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 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. 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 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 of the U.S., including wetlands, 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.

SAW-2022-01061
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 property subject to the permit requirements of 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.
_ We recommend you have the waters of the U.S., including wetlands, 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.
_ The waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on your property 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, unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed
five years from the date of this notification.
_ 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 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 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 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.
X 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 Wilmington, NC 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 Gary Beecher at [phone] or
Ga rv.H.Beecher(&usace. army.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: N/A. An Approved JD has not been completed.
D. Remarks: A desk top review was conducted on this JD application using information obtained from the consultant
(Davey Resources Group) and Corps generated QL2 Lidar Maps.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
The delineation included herein has been conducted to identify the location and extent of the aquatic resource boundaries and/or the
jurisdictional status of aquatic resources for purposes of the Clean Water Act for the particular site identified in this request. This
delineation and/or jurisdictional determination may not be valid for the Wetland Conservation Provisions of the Food Security Act of
1985, as amended. If you or your tenant are USDA program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should
discuss the applicability of a certified wetland determination with the local USDA service center, prior to starting work.
F. Appeals Information for Approved Jurisdiction Determinations (as indicated in Section B. above)
If you object to this determination, you may request an administrative appeal under Corps regulations at 33 CFR Part 331. Enclosed

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:

Dear Kim Williams:
13. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
IR \�70IdD73Me] 111Z:7
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
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 documented within the project area or 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.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional
correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund
easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler�ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

IPaC resource list
This repolrp�z:q V�Aecriticxl habitat
(col life life Service's (USFWS)
jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the proiect area referenced below. The list
may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be
directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood
and extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional
site -specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of
proposed activities) information.
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS
office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to each section that
follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for additional
information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that section.

Endangered species
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of project
level impacts.
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
project area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site -specific and project -
specific information is often required.
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary
information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area
of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any
Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills this requirement can only
be obtained by requesting an official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC
(see directions below) or from the local field office directly. '
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website
and request an official species list by doing the following:
1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE.
2. Click DEFINE PROJECT.
3. Log in (if directed to do so).
4. Provide a name and description for your project.
5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.
Listed species
and their critical habitats are managed by the Ecological Services Program of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the fisheries division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA Fisheries ).
Species and critical habitats under the sole responsibility of NOAA Fisheries are not shown on this
list. Please contact NOAA Fisheries for species under their jurisdiction.
Species listed under the Endangered Species Act are threatened or endangered; IPaC also shows
species that are candidates, or proposed, for listing. See the listing status page for more
information. IPaC only shows species that are regulated by USFWS (see FAQ).
NOAA Fisheries, also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is an office of the

Migratory birds
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
-and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
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 girds Treaty Act of 1918.
2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940.
Additional information can be found using the following links:
• Birds of Conservation Concern http://www.fws.gov/birds/management/managed-species/
birds-of-conservation-concern.php
• Measures for avoiding and minimizing impacts to birds
http://www.fws.gov/birds/management/project-assessment-tools-and-guidance/
conservation-measures.php
• Nationwide 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 data mapping (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 breeding in your project
area.

http://ecos.fws.gov/ecp/species/8938
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 . i
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 grphs" link.
tl
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area?
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 migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rang ide" 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
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 ishh, 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, s d presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation
measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conse ation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to
migratory birds" at the bottom of yoyrato bird trust resources page.

Data limitations
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information
on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery.
Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error is inherent in the
use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland
boundaries or classification established through image analysis.
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts,
the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted.
Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems.

Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be
occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and
the actual conditions on site.
Data exclusions
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
local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietaryjurisdicti i;��
may affect such
activities.

MALMO LOOP TRACT
RESTORATION PLAN
BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC
Action ID #SAW-2022-01061
OCTOBER 2022
1.0 Introduction
The Malmo Loop Tract is a 680-acre site located off Malmo Loop Rd in Leland, NC (Brunswick
County). The owner, Malmo Ventures, LLC, proposes to construct a residential subdivision within
the site. Engineered plans have been prepared for Phases 1A and 113, which include impacts to
0.183 acres of wetlands and 0.10 acres of jurisdictional ditches. In order to mitigate for proposed
wetland impacts, the owner proposes to restore 89 LF of stream and 0.299 acres of wetlands on
site by removing an old dirt road within the site. A piling -supported bridge will be constructed in
its place. Note that additional stream impacts may occur in future phases of this project. It is
hoped that the stream restoration performed here can be used to offset those impacts as well.
2.0 Existing Conditions
The 681-acre tract is located off Malmo Loop Road in Leland (Brunswick County), NC (Figures 1-
3). The tract contains a mix of uplands and wetlands (Figure 4). Hood Creek forms the western
project boundary and several unnamed tributaries of the creek extend into the site. Most stream
channels within the site are between 3' and 4' wide. The southern stream channel is larger,
around 5' -7' wide. Most of the wetlands located adjacent to the streams support a fairly dense
canopy of black gum, red maple (Acerrubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua), loblolly pine
(Pinus taeda), laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), and water oak (Quercus nigra). Several small
wetland pockets are scattered throughout the site and support a dense stand of sweetgum, red
maple and bay species. One manmade pond is located in the central part of the site.
3

Uplands located throughout the site are managed for silvicultural production and have either
been recently cleared or support loblolly pines in varying age categories. A review of historical
aerials shows that the site has been timbered several times since at least 1949. Most recently,
the western and central portions were timbered in 2020 or 2021. These areas now support a
developing shrub layer of pines, water oak, red maple, sweetgum, winged sumac (Rhus
copallina), blackberry (Rubus spp.), goldenrod (Solidago spp.), and dog fennel (Eupatorium
capillifolium). Trees in the eastern portion of the site were last cut around 2006 and now support
rows of loblolly pines that are around 3" to 8" diameter at breast height (DBH). There is a
moderate shrub layer of gallberry (Ilex glabra), winged sumac, and sweetgum. Several dirt roads
provide access throughout the site. Adjacent land use consists of a mix of undeveloped and
forested land and residential development.
3.0 Proposed Stream/Wetland Restoration Methods
The owner proposes removing the dirt road located in the southcentral part of the tract and
restoring streams and wetlands (Figure 5). Prior to performing restoration activities, the
contractor will ensure that silt fencing is placed securely around the road removal area.
Additionally, rock check dams will be installed downstream of the restoration work. First -order
stream bank and channel restoration and riparian floodplain wetland restoration is proposed.
Restoration activities are proposed for 89 linear feet of stream (two channels) and 0.299 acres of
riparian wetlands. Proposed restoration activities of the stream channel include removal of
existing culverts and fill material. Reconnection of the stream to the adjacent floodplain will re-
establish characteristic riparian wetland hydrology. Channels and the natural vegetated riparian
buffer will be restored to pre -construction contours. A bridge will be built above existing road
grade to allow for flow events to adequately move downstream and access the floodplain. Since
the restoration area will occur underneath a proposed bridge, no woody vegetation planting is
proposed. It is anticipated that the native seed source will rapidly take root within the restoration
area through natural dispersal patterns and rhizomatic growth. Jute/coir fiber matting (no
plastic) and grass seed will be installed along the restored stream banks and left in place
indefinitely to provide for stabilization. Silt fencing and check dams will be removed once the
areas are stabilized.
4

4.0 Proposed Monitoring
Restored areas will be monitored for stability and after heavy rain events until the area has
stabilized. Any failure of the stream bank will be addressed immediately. Additional monitoring
will occur every three months after construction for a total of one year (4 monitoring events) to
ensure stream banks are stable and to document anticipated plant growth. Documentation will
be submitted to the NCDWR and USACE after each monitoring event and will include a summary
of findings and photo documentation of stream and wetland restoration areas. It is expected
that these restored areas will be stable and vegetated at the end of the one-year monitoring
period.
