Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERNIINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
0 I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02) .
❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.

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:

Headwater Project #202263B
To whom it may concern,
On behalf of Erick Waggoner and Joseph Redmond IV (property owners), Headwater
Environmental, Inc. (Headwater) is providing your office a courtesy copy of our 9-Step Biological
Assessment.
The site is located at 600 and 602 South Third Street in Carolina Beach, North Carolina. The site
consists of two parcels identified as Parcel ID R09010-014-010-000 (0.14-acre) and R09010-014-
019-000 (0.14-acre) and are owned by Erick Waggoner and Joseph Redmond IV.
The proposed project is to develop each of the parcels with a single-family dwelling. The final
project layout and design is to be defined by Erick Waggoner and Joseph Redmond IV; their
successors or assigns.
Based on the assessment of the on -site conditions, it is Headwater's opinion that he proposed
project is not likely to result in the incidental take of a federally listed threatened or endangered
species.
Additionally, Headwater has determined that the requirements of Section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act; and the Bald and Golden Eagles Protection Act (the Eagle Act) have been satisfied.
The project is also in compliance with Programmatic Biological Opinion on the 4(d) Rule for the
NLEB.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide a copy of our review. Please contact us at (910)777-
3908 if you have questions or require additional information.

9-Step Process
Carolina Beach, New Hanover County, North Carolina
Headwater Project #202263B
Step 1: Action Area
To determine the action area, mark the project footprint on a topographic map. Identify the range
of impacts such as; ground disturbance, changes in water quality and quantity, air quality, lighting
effects, and noise disturbance.
The site is located at 600 and 602 South Third Street in Carolina Beach, North Carolina. The site
consists of two parcels identified as Parcel ID R09010-014-010-000 (0.14-acre) and R09010-014-
019-000 (0.14-acre) and are owned by Erick Waggoner and Joseph Redmond IV.
The proposed project is to develop each of the parcels with a single-family dwelling. The final
project layout and design is to be defined by Erick Waggoner and Joseph Redmond IV; their
successors or assigns.
Step 2: Species List
Use the USFWS Information, Planning, and Consultation (IPaC) system to determine if any listed,
proposed, or candidate species may be present in the action area.
Headwater utilized the IPaC system to obtain a copy of the federally listed threatened and
endangered species for Jones County. A copy of the official species list is enclosed with this
report.
Step 3. State Coordination
Determine whether a documented occurrence of any listed, proposed, or candidate species is
within the action area by contacting the NHP.
On November 10, 2022, Headwater performed a query of the NHP database. Headwater's query
of the NHP database indicated there are records for rare species, important natural communities,
natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary.
According to the NHP report, comfortroot (Hibiscus aculeatus) was previously documented on
site in 1993. Comfortroot is a vascular wetland plant identified as state threatened species.
Comfortroot is a large, long-lived perennial wildflower that grows between 3-6 feet tall with cream -
colored flowers up to 3-4 inches across adorned with a deep purplish -red center. Flowering occurs
from late spring through fall. The leaves are alternately arranged, palmate and scabrous with
toothed margins. This wetland species is native to the southeastern United States and traditionally
can be found growing along the edges of savannas, bogs, hydric to mesic pine flatwoods, and
roadside ditches.
The site is routinely mowed, disturbed, and occupied by several invasive plant species such as
kudzu (Pueraria montana) and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). Headwater did not
observe any comfortroot specimens during the site reconnaissance. It is Headwater's opinion that
this species, documented as being observed on site 30 years ago, is no longer present.
Step 4: Suitable Habitat
Determine whether listed/proposed/candidate species may occur based on the habitat present
within the action area for each species on the species conclusion table. Review the species

information provided in IPaC, and the information provided by NHP, to determine whether the
action area contains suitable habitat for each species.
The site can be classified into two (2) habitat areas:
1. Scrub/shrub Thicket
2. Palustrine Emergent (PEM) Wetland
Scrub/shrub Thicket
This habitat exists on the western portion of the site in areas of well drained soils. The site has
been routinely mowed in the past. The understory vegetation was overgrown at the time of the
November 2022 reconnaissance.
The vegetation is dense with very few (<5) loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) trees remaining. Sapling
and shrub species observed include red maple (Acer rubrum), red bay (Persea borbonia),
groundsel tree (Baccharis halimilfolia), American elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), magnolia
(Magnolia virginiana), loblolly pine, and multifloral rose (Rosa multiflora). Herb and vine species
observed include royal fern (Osmunda spectablis), blackberry (Rubus argutus), goldenrod
(Solidago canadensis), trumpet vine (Campsis radicans), greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia),
Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and kudzu (Pueraria montana).
PEM Wetland
This habitat exists in a depressional feature on the central and southeastern portions of the site.
The site is routinely mowed.
The vegetation is dense and consists mainly of giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea). A single mature
loblolly pine tree, that has been storm damaged, remains within the wetland area. Other species
observed in the wetland area include groundsel tree, red bay, royal fern, blackberry, laurel leaf
greenbrier (Smilax laurifolia), common greenbrier.
FEDERALLY LISTED SPECIES
The Endangered Species Act of 1973 is a key legislation for both domestic and international
conservation. The act aims to provide a framework to conserve and protect endangered and
threatened species and their habitats. The USFWS lists fourteen (14) species as threatened or
endangered for New Hanover County, North Carolina:

West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus)
The West Indian manatee is a slow -moving aquatic mammal with a rounded body, gray to brown
skin, flexible flippers, and a large rounded horizontally flattened tail. Adults are usually 10-13 feet
in length. Habitat includes shallow coastal waters, estuaries, bays, rivers, and lakes. Throughout
most of their range, manatees appear to prefer riverine and estuarine habitats. Manatees are not
averse to traveling through dredged canals or quiet marinas.
Northern long-eared bat (Myotis Septentrionalis)
The northern long-eared bat is a medium-sized bat averaging three and half inches in length but
with a wingspan of nine to ten inches. It is distinguished by its long ears. During summer, northern
long-eared bats roost singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live
and dead trees. It has also been found, rarely, roosting in structures like barns and sheds.
Northern long-eared bats spend winter hibernating in large caves and mines with large passages.
Specific areas where they hibernate have very high humidity, so much so that droplets of water
are often seen on their fur.
Northern long-eared bats emerge at dusk to fly through the understory of forested hillsides and
ridges feeding on moths, flies, leafhoppers, caddisflies, and beetles, which they catch while in
flight using echolocation. This bat also feeds by gleaning motionless insects from vegetation and
water surfaces.
Red knot (Calidris canutus rufa)
The red knot is a medium sized shorebird typically nine to 11 inches in length. This species is a
long distance migratory bird. Nesting areas are generally located generally in dry, slightly elevated
tundra locations. Nonbreeding red knots have been recorded during the summer months along
the barrier islands of the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
Piping plover (Charadrius melodus)
The piping plover is a small sand -colored, sparrow sized bird that is found on ocean beaches,
sand flats, or algal flats in protected bays. Piping plovers are most abundant on expansive
sandflats, sandy mudflats, and sandy beaches in close proximity to the ocean. This species
breeds on sandy upper beaches, especially where scattered grass tufts are present, and sparsely
vegetated shores and islands of shallow lakes, ponds, rivers, and impoundments. Nests may also
be built on sandy open flats among shells or cobble behind foredunes.
Eastern black rail (Laterallus jamaicensis)
The eastern black rail is a small marsh bird, no bigger than a sparrow. It can be found on in tidal
marshes, among salicornia growths along the coast, or inland on grassy marshes. It favors very
shallow water, or damp soil with scattered puddles. The eastern black rail primarily walks or runs
through the marsh and is rarely seen in flight. It is believed that the black rail forages primarily
during the day feeding on insects, spiders, small crustaceans, snails, and seeds found in the
marsh. Nests are constructed of marsh plant material into a cup shape with a domed top woven
over it. Nests are typically located slightly above the ground or in shallow water in a clump of
vegetation. A ramp of dead vegetation typically leads from the nest entrance to the ground. Habitat
loss is the primary threat to the black rail.

Red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis)
Red-cockcaded woodpeckers (RCWs) are relatively small, adults are six to nine inches long. They
are white and black, with a white cheek patch and black crown. Their breast and bellies are white
to greyish -white. The difference between adult males and females is the presence of the red
cockade at the upper portion of the head, behind the eyes (often not visible in the field). Suitable
foraging habitat consists of large mature pines, little or no mid -story, and abundant herbaceous
groundcover. The understory of these pine woodlands and savannahs are generally suppressed
by regular fire (one to ten-year intervals). Large old pines are required for roosting and nest
cavities. Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) is preferred, but the RCW is known to roost in most of
southern pine species; loblolly (Pinus taeda), shortleaf (Pinus echinata), slash (Pinus ellioti), pond
pine (Pinus rigida), and even bald cypress (Taxodium disthicus). The average age of cavity trees
ranges from 60 to 125 years for longleaf pine, 70-90 years for loblolly pine, 75-150 years for
shortleaf pine, 50-130 years for pond pine, and greater than 70 years for slash pine.
American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
The American alligator is a large aquatic reptile with broadly rounded snout lacking conspicuous
upward -protruding teeth. The maximum total length is about 19 feet, but alligators today are
generally 13 feet. American alligators inhabit fresh and brackish marshes, ponds, lakes, rivers,
swamps, bayous, canals, and large spring runs. These water bodies must have ample prey to
serve as a food source. They often bask on partially submerged logs or on land next to the water.
Alligators dig dens (i.e. gator holes) in river or lake margins or in marshes; they spend cold winter
and drought periods in the den.
Sea Turtles: Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), Hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys
imbricata), Leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), Kemp's Ridley sea turtle
(Lepidochelys kemph), and Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta)
These above referenced sea turtle species vary in size, shape, and color. They all generally
inhabit a wide range of tropical and subtropical habitats, including shallow coastal waters and
estuaries. Nesting occurs along deep sand beaches and well -drained elevated dune areas of
barrier islands and mainland beaches.
Cooley's meadowrue (Thalictrum cooleyi)
Cooley's meadowrue occurs on circumneutral soils in grass -sedge bogs and wet pine savannahs
and savannah like areas. It may also grow along fire plow lines, in roadside ditches, woodland
clearings, and powerline right-of-ways, and needs some type of disturbance such as fire or
mowing to maintain its open habitat.
Rough -leaved loosestrife (Lysmachia asperulaefolia)
This species generally occurs in the ecotones or edges between longleaf pine uplands and pond
pine pocosins (areas of dense shrub and vine growth usually on a wet, peaty, poorly drained soil)
on moist to seasonally saturated sands and on shallow organic soils overlaying sand. Rough -leaf
loosestrife has also been found on deep peat in the low shrub community of large Carolina bays
(shallow, elliptical, poorly drained depressions of unknown origin). The grass -shrub ecotone,
where rough -leaf loosestrife is found, is fire -maintained, as are the adjacent plant communities
(longleaf pine/scrub oak forests, pine savannahs, flatwoods, and pocosins). This species flowers
from May to June and fruits in late summer, early fall.
Seabeach amaranth (Amaranthus pumilus)
This species occurs on barrier island beaches, where its primary habitat consists of overwash
flats at accreting ends of islands, lower foredunes, and upper strands of noneroding beaches.
The species needs extensive areas of barrier island beaches and inlets, functioning in a relatively
natural and dynamic manner.

Other Saecies of Concern
Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle
The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act originally passed in 1940, provides for the protection
of the bald eagle and the golden eagle (as amended in 1962) by prohibiting the take, possession,
sale, purchase, barter, offer to sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, of any bald or
golden eagle, alive or dead, including any part, nest, or egg, unless allowed by permit. This act is
administered by the USFWS.
HABITAT REVIEW
Neither fresh or saltwater bodies of water, marsh, and dune habitats are present on site. Habitat for
the west Indian manatee, red knot, piping plover, eastern black rail, sea turtles, American alligator,
and seabeach amaranth are not present on site.
Open pine savannah habitat required by Red -cockaded Woodpecker is not present on site.
Mature forests and wooded areas are not present on site. Very few (5-10) mature pine and red maple
trees remain along the western boundary. The trees appear to be between 15-20 years old based on
their size. Habitat is present for NLEB is not present.
Bogs, open pine savannahs, and/or pocosin wetlands are not present on site. Additionally, the site
has been routinely mowed. Habitat for Cooley's meadowrue and rough -leaved loosestrife is not
present.
Step 5: Critical Habitat
There is no critical habitat present within the action area.
Step 6: Eagle Protection
The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is protected by the Bald and Golden Eagles Protection
Act (the Eagle Act). The Eagle Act protects the bald from take and disturbance.
The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act originally passed in 1940, provides for the protection
of the bald eagle and the golden eagle (as amended in 1962) by prohibiting the take, possession,
sale, purchase, barter, offer to sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, of any bald or
golden eagle, alive or dead, including any part, nest, or egg, unless allowed by permit. This act is
administered by the USFWS.
An adult bald eagle has a white head, white tail, and large yellow bill; the remaining plumage is
dark brown. Immature individuals are generally dark brown with light splotching. Bald eagles are
a large bird of prey with a five to seven -foot wingspan. Breeding and roosting habitat is generally
located near large bodies of water; such as, coastal areas, bays, rivers, lakes, etc. The bald eagle
constructs large nests in tall mature trees or cliffs. Tree species vary greatly and include pines
and hardwoods. The same nest may be used year after year. Winter roost sites vary in their
proximity to food sources. Bald eagles are an adaptable species, and their habitat can be found
throughout the United States.
Neither a bald eagle specimen, sufficient foraging habitat, nor bald eagle roosts were observed
at the site. Therefore, impacts to migratory birds and their habitat, including bald and golden
eagles, are not anticipated with this project.

Step 7: Northern long-eared bat (NLEB)
The USFWS: Raleigh Field Office requires this species be taken into consideration due to
relatively recent rise of "white nose syndrome" in this bat population.
The northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) is 3 to 3.7 inches long with a wingspan of
nine to 10 inches. They are dark brown, with a pale underside. As its name suggests, this bat
distinguishes itself by its long ears. In winter, the northern long-eared bats spend winter in caves
and mines. In summer, the northern long-eared bat roosts underneath bark and cavities of trees.
This bat has also been found roosting in barns and sheds. Northern long-eared bats emerge at
dusk to feed. They primarily fly through the understory of forested areas feeding on moths, flies,
leafhoppers, caddisflies, and beetles, which they catch while in flight using echolocation or by
gleaning motionless insects from vegetation.
Mature forests and wooded areas are not resent on site. Less than five loblolly pine trees remain on
site. The trees appear to be between 15 and 20 years old and are overgrown with vines. Sufficient
habitat does not appear to be present for NLEB. According to USFWS records, the NLEB is not known
to be present in New Hanover County. Therefore, impacts to the federally listed species are not
anticipated.

Dear Nick Creidler:
D_ Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
NCNHDE-19948
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:
https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.

Project Name: South 3rd Street
December 15, 2022
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 final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. 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.). If your project area
contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species on this species list, the proposed
action has the potential to adversely affect those species. If suitable habitat is present, surveys
should be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The
use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be
substituted for actual field surveys.
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

12/15/2022
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
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.

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 16 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheriesi, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

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

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.

12/15/2022 4
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
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( )
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

12/15/2022
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
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 Lorin.
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 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.
