1.0 INTRODUCTION
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)proposes to widen a portion
of NC 62 and realign several intersections (STIP U-6018)from Kersey Valley Road (SR
1154) to Weant Road (SR 1162)and from E Fairfield Road (NC 610) to Liberty Road
(NC 62)in Guilford and Randolph Count ies (Figure 1).The following Natural Resources
Technical Report (NRTR) has been prepared to assist in the preparation of a document
for the purposes of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)or the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
2.0 METHODOLOGY
All work was conducted in accordance with the NCDOT Environmental Coordination
and Permitting’s Preparing Natural Resources Technical Reports Procedure and the latest
NRTR Template,November 2017.Field work was conducted on August 1-2, 2018,and
on August 14, 2018.Jurisdictional areas identified in the study were verified by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the North Carolina Division of Water Resources
(NCDWR)on August 8, 2019.The Action ID for this project is SAW-2018-00773,
however the PJD document has not been issued by USACE as of this report.The
principal personnel contributing to the field work and document preparation are provided
in Appendix B.
3.0 TERRESTRIAL COMMUNITIES
Seven terrestrial communities were identified in the study area.Figure 4 shows the
location and extents of these terrestrial communities. Terrestrial community data are

4.0 PROTECTED SPECIES
4.1 Endangered Species Act Protected Species
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists four federally protected
species, under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for Guilford County as of October 4,
2018 and lists two federally protected species for Randolph County as of June 27, 2018
(Table 2).One additional species, Atlantic pigtoe, was officially Proposed as Threatened
by USFWS as of October 11, 2018, and is listed for both counties.For each species, a
discussion of the presence or absence of habitat is included below along with the
Biological Conclusion rendered based on survey results in the study area.

Natural Resources Technical Report STIP U-6018,Guilford and Randolph Counties, N.C.
3 September 2019
Cape Fear Shiner
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: April-June (tributaries); year-round (large
rivers)
Biological Conclusion:No Effect
Suitable habitat for Cape Fear Shiner does not exist within the study area.The
study area lacks good quality streams with gravel, cobble, and boulder substrate.
The study area also is not within the known watershed range of Cape Fear shiner
in Guilford and Randolph Counties.A review of NCNHP records,accessed
August 2019, indicates no known occurrence of Cape Fear shiner within 1.0 mile
of the study area.
Roanoke logperch
USFWS Recommended Survey Window:Year-round,April-June (optimal)
Biological Conclusion:No Effect
Suitable habitat for the Roanoke logperch does not occur in the study area. The
study area lacks small to medium sized rivers with moderate to low gradient with
riffles and runs.The study area also is not within the known watershed range of
Roanoke logperch in Guilford County.A review of NCNHP records,accessed
August 2019, indicates no known occurrence of Roanoke logperch within 1.0
mile of the study area.
Atlantic pigtoe
USFWS Recommended Survey Window:Year-round
Biological Conclusion:No Effect
Suitable habitat for Atlantic pigtoe does not occur in the study area.The streams
within the study area lack the coarse sand and gravel substrate and water flow that
are required for this species.The study area also is not within the known
watershed range of Atlantic pigtoe in Guilford and Randolph Counties.A review
of NCNHP records,accessed August 2019, indicates no known occurrence of
Atlantic pigtoe within 1.0 mile of the study area.
Schweinitz’s sunflower
USFWS Recommended Survey Window:Late August-October
Biological Conclusion:No Effect
Potential habitat for Schweinitz’s sunflower is present within the study area.
Suitable habitat, consisting of disturbed roadside edges, was identified in portions
of the project study area.ESI biologist Jeff Harbour completed surveys for this
species on September 27, 2018. Reference populations of this species were
visited by the ESI biologist prior to the survey occurring. No individuals were
observed during this survey of potential Schweinitz’s sunflower habitat within the
U-6018 study area.A review of NCNHP data,accessed August 2019,indicates no
occurrences of Schweinitz’s sunflower within 1.0 mile of the study area.
Natural Resources Technical Report STIP U-6018,Guilford and Randolph Counties, N.C.
4 September 2019
Small whorled pogonia
USFWS recommended survey window:Mid-May through Early-July
Biological Conclusion:No Effect
Potential habitat for small whorled pogonia, consisting of forest edge and small
canopy gaps within the mixed hardwood and mixed pine/hardwood forest areas is
present within the Guilford County portion of the study area.ESI biologist Jeff
Harbour completed surveys for this species on May 16, 2019 based on
consultation with Dale Suiter of USFWS regarding potential habitat types in
Guildford County.No individuals of small whorled pogonia were observed in
any areas of potential habitat during this survey of the U-6018 study area.A
review of NCNHP data,accessed August 2019,indicates no occurrences of small
whorled pogonia within 1.0 mile of the study area.
Northern long-eared bat
USFWS has developed a programmatic biological conclusion (PBC) in conjunction with
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the USACE, and NCDOT for the northern
long-eared bat (NLEB) in eastern North Carolina. The PBO covers the entire NCDOT
program in Divisions 1-8, including all NCDOT projects and activities. The
programmatic determination for NLEB for the NCDOT program is “May Affect, Likely
to Adversely Affect”. The PBO provides incidental take coverage for NLEB and will
ensure compliance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for five years for all
NCDOT projects with a federal nexus in Divisions 1-8, which includes Guilford and
Randolph Count ies, where STIP U-6018 is located.
4.2 Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
The bald eagle is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and enforced
by the USFWS. Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forests in
proximity to large bodies of open water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized
for nesting sites, typically within 1.0 mile of open water.
A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area, as well as the area within a 1.0-mile
radius of the project limits, was performed on July 30, 2018 using recent color aerials.
Surface waters PA and PD,within the study area,and other unnamed open waters that are
within 1.0 mile of the study area may provide suitable foraging habitat for bald eagles.
No bald eagle nests were identified within the study area or within 660 feet of the study
area based on review of any suitable nest trees visible from publicly accessible roads.
Additionally, a review of the NHP database, which was accessed August 2019,revealed
no known occurrences of this species within 1.0 mile of the project study area. Due to
the lack of known occurrences and minimal impact anticipated for this project, it has
been determined that this project will not affect this species.
