Ecosystem Planning and Restoration (EPR) has been contracted by the Resource Institute to
conduct stream restoration/enhancement activities for the UT to Cooks Creek project located
near Mt. Airy in Surry County, North Carolina and is supported by grant funding sources. The
project is located off Haystack Rd. approximately 0.6 miles south of 1-74, in Surry County, North
Carolina (Figure 1). The project begins on an unnamed tributary above a farm pond and
continues below the pond, flowing southeast for around 2,000 feet. Four additional tributaries
flow into the main stem before it leaves the project site. It ultimately flows into Cooks Creek
approximately 1 mile further southeast. Figure 2 depicts the project area on the United States
Geologic Survey (USGS) Bottom Quadrangle, North Carolina 7.5-minute topographic map. The
coordinates of the approximate center point of the project are 36.466949 N and-80.713915 W.
Several additional figures and maps for the project are also included with this submission.
The proposed stream restoration project aims to address erosion and sedimentation issues and
will improve habitat in the five unnamed tributaries to Cooks Creek that constitute the project.
Stream restoration and enhancement will be conducted and will include bank sloping, in -stream
structure installation, bioengineering, and riparian buffer planting. A copy of the project 60%
construction plan sheets is included with this submission and includes many details about the
project design and implementation.
Impacts to jurisdictional stream features include those from the actual restoration and
enhancement activities described above, which only serve to ultimately improve the streams.
Impacts to wetlands include the temporary effects of having construction equipment working in
and around the wetlands (for a total of 1.811 acres), as well as the unavoidable permanent
impacts resulting from stream realignment and pattern adjustments (totaling 0.190 acres).
Restoration and construction activities will take place within jurisdictional waterbodies requiring
Section 401 and 404 permits from the NC Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the
US Army Corps of Engineers.
Additionally, a thorough review of all biological, cultural, and historic resources was also
conducted for the project as detailed in the communications with US-FWS, NC-WRC, NC-NHP,
and NC-SHPO. Please find all relevant information from those agencies included here.
A Pre -Filing notice was sent via email on 9/16/22 to DWR but no confirmation response was
received. As such, a copy of the sent notice is included in lieu of any response.
If you have any questions or comments, or require any additional information, please do not
hesitate to contact me at 919-219-6339 or at [e-mail]. Thank you very much for your
time on this matter.

Subject: Unnamed Tributary to Cooks Creek Restoration Project in Surry County, North Carolina.
Dear Mr. King:
On September 8, 2022, we received (via email) your information requesting our review of the subject
project. We have reviewed the information that you presented for this request and the following
comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42
U.S.C.§ 4321 et seq.) and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531
- 1543) (Act).
Proiect Description
According to the information provided, an unnamed project proponent proposes to address erosion and
sedimentation and improve habitat quality in six unnamed tributaries to Cooks Creek off Haystack Road
in Surry County, North Carolina. Stream restoration and enhancement activities will include bank
sloping, installation of in -stream structures, bioengineering, and buffer planting.
Federally Listed Species
An assessment of suitable habitat and potential impacts to four species was conducted by environmental
specialists with Ecosystem Planning and Restoration. The findings were compiled and included in the
review request submitted to our office on September 8, 2022. The following species and their associated
habitats were evaluated.
Species
Status'
Bog turtle
Glyptemys muhlenbergii
T(S/A), ARS
Gray bat
Myotis grisescens
E
Northern long-eared bat
Myotis septentrionalis
T, PE
Schweinitz's sunflower
Helianthus schweinitzii
E
'E = endangered, PE = proposed endangered, T= threatened, T(S/A) _
threatened due to similarity of appearance, and ARS = at -risk species.
The review request states that no suitable habitat is present for gray bat or Schweinitz's sunflower. Based
on the information provided, we agree with the assessment that no suitable habitat is present for these
species. As such, section 7 consultation is not required for these species.

Bog turtle is federally listed as threatened (due to similarity of appearance) and was petitioned for listing,
resulting in an at -risk species (ARS) designation, on January 13, 2022. Bog turtle is not currently subject
to section 7 consultation; therefore, an effects determination is not necessary. However, it is a species of
concern for our office, and we appreciate the project proponent Is consideration of bog turtle when
evaluating the action area for impacts to federally listed species and their habitats. If bog turtle or suitable
habitat is identified on future projects within the proposed action area or proposed activities will impact
hydrology of suitable habitat (i.e., changing drainage patterns to/from wetlands), we recommend
coordinating the project with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission.
On September 21, 2022, the Service updated the consultation range for northern long-eared bat based on
the best available scientific data. The action area for this project is no longer within the consultation range
for the species. Therefore, we believe the project will have no effect on the northern long-eared bat.
Suitable habitat for tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) may present at the site. On September 14, 2022,
the Service published a proposal in the Federal Register to list the tricolored bat as endangered under the
Act. The Service has up to 12 months from the date the proposal published to make a final determination,
either to list the tricolored bat under the Act or to withdraw the proposal. The Service determined the bat
faces extinction primarily due to the range -wide impacts of WNS. Because tricolored bat populations
have been greatly reduced due to WNS, surviving bat populations are now more vulnerable to other
stressors such as human disturbance and habitat loss. Species proposed for listing are not afforded
protection under the Act; however, as soon as a listing becomes effective (typically 30 days after
publication of the final rule in the Federal Register), the prohibitions against jeopardizing its continued
existence and "take" will apply. Therefore, if you suspect your future or existing project may affect
tricolored bats after the potential new listing goes into effect, we recommend analyzing possible effects of
the project on tricolored bats and their habitat to determine whether consultation under section 7 of the
Act is necessary. Conferencing procedures can be followed prior to listing to ensure the project does not
jeopardize the existence of a species. Projects with an existing section 7 biological opinion may require
re -initiation of consultation to provide uninterrupted authorization for covered activities. Please contact
our office for additional guidance or assistance.
We believe the requirements under section 7 of the Act are fulfilled for the federally listed species
discussed above. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if (1) new
information reveals impacts of the identified action may affect listed species or critical habitat in a
manner not previously considered, (2) the identified action is subsequently modified in a manner that was
not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may be
affected by the identified action.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. Please contact Ms. Rebekah Reid of
our staff at rebekah_reid(afws.gov, if you have any questions. In any future correspondence concerning
this project, please reference Log Number 4-2-22-732.

Project Name: Cooks Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Project
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
critical habitat that are caused by the proposed action, including the consequences of other

09/15/2022
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: https://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.

Project Summary
Project Code: 2022-0085913
Project Name: Cooks Creek Stream and Wetland Restoration Project
Project Type: Restoration / Enhancement of Waterbody
Project Description: The project is located off Haystack Rd. approximately 0.6 miles south of
I-74, in Surry County, North Carolina and is supported by the Clean Water
Management Trust Fund. The project begins on an unnamed tributary
above a farm pond and continues below the pond, flowing southeast for
around 2,000 feet before leaving the project site. It ultimately flows into
Cooks Creek approximately 1 mile further southeast. The proposed
project aims to address erosion and sedimentation issues and improve

Migratory Birds
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act! 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 Treat. 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
breeding in your project area.

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
FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting
to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence (■)
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( )

09/15/2022
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 (1)
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 list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my
specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern
(BCQ 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 Rapid Avian Information
Locator (RAIL)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 or migrating in my 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 query your location using the RAIL Tool and look
at the range maps provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each
bird in your results. 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

09/15/2022 5
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
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

09/15/2022
H.
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.

SUBJECT: UT to Cooks Creek Restoration Project
Dear Mr. King:
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) received your
September 8, 2022 letter regarding plans for a stream restoration project on 6 unnamed tributaries
(UTs) to Cooks Creek in Surry County. You requested review and comment on the project. Our
comments on this project are offered for your consideration under provisions of the Clean Water Act
of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended;
16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
Details were not provided in the letter on design nor the size of the prcj ect.
This project should not impact wild trout resources. We recommend that riparian buffers that are to
be reestablished be as wide as possible, given site constraints and landowner needs. There is a pond
that bisects the project, and we recommend removing the pond to restore aquatic organism passage.
In addition, preserve as much existing native woody vegetation as possible. NCWRC generally
recommends a woody buffer of 100 feet on perennial streams to maximize the benefits of buffers,
including bank stability, stream shading, treatment of overland runoff, and wildlife habitat.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. Please contact me at (828)
400-4223 if you have any questions about these comments.

Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
n[ ►�l01ld.]ME:3F�'1
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.
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 Federally -
listed species are 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.
