SUBJECT: Cornbread Valley Mitigation Site
Dear Ms. Gimbert:
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) received your
February 2, 2021 letter regarding plans for a stream mitigation project on Jones Creek and six
unnamed tributaries in Macon County. I visited the site on January 26, 2021. You requested that
we review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect to fish and
wildlife from the potential restoration 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).
According to project documents received before the site visit, the project is proposed as a
mitigation project and will involve restoration/enhancement on nearly 4,250 ft of stream.
Livestock will be excluded, riparian vegetation established, best management practices installed
to control agricultural runoff, and various strategies to improve bank stability and in -stream
habitat will be used.
There are wild Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout in the project vicinity, and in -stream activities
should be avoided during the trout moratorium of October 15 to April 15. This project is just
upstream of the Cartoogechaye Creek Aquatic Habitat, a natural area rated as High by the NC
Natural Heritage Program due to the richness of aquatic species it supports. Near the site, Jones
Creek supports Eastern Hellbender [Cryptobranchus alleganiensis, US Federal Species of
Concern (FSC), NC Special Concern (SC)], Little Tennessee River Crayfish (Cambarus
georgiae, US FSC, NC SC), and Smoky Dace (Clinostomus sp., US FSC, NC SC). The project
has the potential to benefit this important stream community, but it is especially important to use
excellent erosion and sediment control on the site to minimize impacts to the same community.

Subject: Proposed Stream Mitigation in Jones Creek and Unnamed Tributaries in Macon County,
North Carolina
Dear Ms. Gimbert,
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the information provided in your
email correspondence dated February 2, 2021, wherein you solicit our comments regarding
project -mediated impacts to federally protected species. We submit the following comments in
accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 661667e); 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. 15311543) (Act).
Project Summary
Wildlands Engineering proposes to conduct stream restoration and enhancement activities on a
portion of Jones Creek and six unnamed tributaries to Jones Creek in Macon County, North
Carolina. This, along with aerial and topographic maps of the project area, was the only
information provided.
We offer the following recommendations in the interest of protecting federally threatened and
endangered species, migratory birds, as well as other fish, wildlife, and natural resources.
Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species
Suitable summer roosting habitat may be present in the project area for the federally threatened
northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). However, the final 4(d) rule (effective as of
February 16, 2016), exempts incidental take of northern long-eared bat associated with activities
that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a known hibernation site, and greater than 150 feet from
a known, occupied maternity roost during the pup season (June 1 — July 31). Based on the
information provided, the project would occur at a location where any incidental take that may
result from associated activities is exempt under the 4(d) rule. Although not required, we
encourage you to conduct any tree clearing activities outside the pup season (June 1 to July

31) and/or active season (April 1 to October 15) to reduce the chance of impacting
unidentified maternity roosts.
In accordance with section 7 (a)(2) of the Act and 50 CFR Part 402.01, before any federal
authorization/permits or funding can be issued for this project, it is the responsibility of the
appropriate federal regulatory/permitting and/or funding agency(ies) to determine whether
the project may affect any federally endangered or threatened species (listed species) or
designated critical habitat. A species list for counties in North Carolina can be found online
here: https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cntylist/nc_counties.html. If it is determined that this
project may affect any listed species or designated critical habitat, you must initiate section 7
consultation with this office. Species of concern are not legally protected under the Act and are
not subject to any of its provisions, including section 7, unless they are formally proposed or
listed as endangered or threatened.
We offer the following general recommendations on behalf of natural resources:
Smoky Dace and Little Tennessee River Crayfish
Receiving waters directly below the project waters (Jones Creek) support smoky dace
(Clinostomus sp.) and Little Tennessee River Crayfish (Cambarus georgiae). These species are
not currently afforded legal protection under the Act, but are designated as species of North
Carolina Special Concern. Threats to these species are associated with sedimentation resulting
from development and poor land management practices. We encourage you to solicit comments
from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission regarding potential project -mediated
impacts to state -protected natural resources.
Migratory Birds
The MBTA (16 §U.S.C. 703-712) prohibits the intentional taking, killing, possession,
transportation, and importation of migratory birds, their eggs, parts, and nests, except when
specifically authorized by the Department of the Interior. To avoid impacts to migratory birds,
we recommend conducting a visual inspection of any migratory bird nesting habitat within the
project area during the migratory bird nesting season of March through September and avoiding
impacting the nests during the migratory bird nesting season. If birds are discovered nesting near
the project area during years prior to the proposed construction date, we recommend that you and
the NCDOT, in consultation with US Fish and Wildlife Service, develop measures to discourage
birds from establishing nests within the project area by means that will not result in the take of
birds or eggs; or avoid construction activities during the nesting period.
Stream Channel and Bank Restoration
Adequate measures to control sediment and erosion must be implemented prior to any ground -
disturbing activities in order to minimize effects on downstream aquatic resources. In North
Carolina, non -cohesive and erosion prone soils are most common in the felsic-crystalline terrains
of the mountain and upper piedmont regions. Therefore, reconstruction work should be staged
such that disturbed areas would be stabilized with seeding, mulch, and/or biodegradable (coir)
erosion -control matting prior to the end of each workday. No erosion -control matting or
blankets should contain synthetic (netting) materials as they trap animals and can persist
in the environment beyond their intended purpose. Matting should be secured in place with
2

staples; stakes; or, wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. If rain is expected prior to
temporary seed establishment, additional measures should be implemented to protect water
quality along slopes and overburden stockpiles (for example, stockpiles may be covered with
plastic or other geotextile material and surrounded with silt fencing).
Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Construction activities near streams, rivers, and lakes have the potential to cause water pollution
and stream degradation if measures to control site runoff are not properly installed and
maintained. In order to effectively reduce erosion and sedimentation impacts, best management
practices specific to the extent and type of construction should be designed and installed during
land disturbing activities and should be maintained until the project is complete and appropriate
stormwater conveyances and vegetation are reestablished on the site.
A complete design manual, which provides extensive details and procedures for developing site
specific plans to control erosion and sediment and is consistent with the requirements of the
North Carolina Sedimentation and Pollution Control Act and Administrative Rules, is available

For maximum benefits to water quality and bank stabilization, riparian areas should be forested;
however, if the areas are maintained in grass, they should not be mowed. We recommend
planting disturbed areas with native riparian species. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service can
provide information on potential sources of plant material upon request.
