Unfortunately, yesterday would not void the pre -filing meeting request requirement. At best it would start the clock yesterday instead of today. I have to consider today 5/3/2023 as the day you requested the pre -filling meeting. Fortunately, you can just keep this email reply as proof you submitted a pre -filing meeting request if you did not actually go through our website and submit one. Management is being lenient on how the meeting is requested and we are not requiring an actual meeting if you don't think one is necessary. Its not our rule and we are not overly fond of it. As for your question about the map, I believe it will be sufficient for planning and permitting purposes. I will review it with my supervisor and let you know if he thinks we need more information / something else on our end. Let me know if you have more questions.

Box 33726 Raleigh, NC 27636-3726 May 3, 2023 Re: Online Project Review Request, Regency Townhomes, Pitt County, North Dear Mr. Benjamin, We have reviewed the referenced project using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) Eastern North Carolina Ecological Services Field Office's online project review process and have followed all guidance and instructions in completing the review. The location of the project and the action area (also referred to as the Site) are identified on the enclosed maps in Appendix C, showing the most recent USGS topographic map (Figure 1), aerial imagery (Figure 2), and Wetlands and Waters of the U.S. map (Figure 3). We are submitting our project review package in accordance with the instructions for further review. Site Description The Site is located within the Atlantic Coastal Plain and encompasses approximately 19.5 acres in Greeneville, NC within Pitt County. The Site consists of two man made stormwater control measure ponds (SCM), shrubby maintained open space, first successional mixed hardwood -pine forest, mature mixed hardwood -pine forest, and four potentially jurisdictional waters (RPW), two non -regulated stormwater ponds and one non jurisdictional water — isolated. The RPW features generally drain to the stormwater ponds and then west off -site. The Site is bound by Regency Boulevard and Blazer Drive to the north, agricultural areas to the east and south, and residential areas to the west. The Site is located within the Fork Swamp -Swift Creek subwatershed (Hydrologic Unit Code [HUC] HUC 030202020402) in the Neuse River Basin. The Site drains to the west via surface flow and unnamed tributaries to Fork Swamp, which has a NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) Stream Index Number of 27-97-4 and a Stream Classification of C; Sw,NSW. Proposed Project Our proposed action consists of a multi -family, townhome, residential development in Greenville, North Carolina within Wake County. Development is anticipated to include the construction of road crossings, utility connections, and grading. The proposed impacts to wetlands and streams onsite are anticipated to be minimal and limited to those necessary to install necessary utility connections, road crossings, and grading (where required). The project is expected to be completed over several years. Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2023, potentially through 2024 and 2025. This project review is being completed as part of client due diligence in the preliminary planning and design phases of the proposed project. This project review will be used as needed as supplement to anticipated U.S. Army Corps of Engineers consultation for use of a Nationwide Permit due to impacts to jurisdictional waters if impacts to jurisdictional features are proposed. Species Evaluation The official U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaQ species report for the Site requested on January 30, 2023 (Project Code: 2023-0039212) identified one federally listed endangered species, the Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) as potentially occurring within the vicinity of the Site. One federally listed threatened species was identified as potentially occurring within the vicinity of the Site, the Neuse River waterdog (Necturus lewisi). Additionally, one proposed endangered species, the tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) and one candidate species, the monarch butterfly (Manaus plexippus), were identified as potentially occurring in the vicinity of the Site. The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance as potentially occurring in the vicinity of the Site, however, species listed under a similarity of appearance are not biologically endangered and are not subject to Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7 consultation. Critical habitat was not identified within the project area under the Eastern North Carolina Ecological Services Field Office's jurisdiction. Additionally, per the instructions of the Eastern North Carolina Ecological Services Field Office's Project Review Steps, Timmons personnel assessed the potential for impacts to the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database report (NCNHDE-20690) was requested on January 30, 2023. No federally protected species were identified as occurring within the project area or a 1-mile radius. Further, no critical habitat was identified within the Site or a 1-mile radius. On February 7, 2023 Timmons Group conducted a suitable habitat assessment for federally listed species, species proposed for listing under the ESA, candidate species, and bald eagle within the Site, and desktop project review on February 13, 2023. Effects to Critical Habitat There is no critical habitat located within the Site boundaries or a 1-mile radius. Effects to Federally Endangered Species Northern Long-eared Bat While northern long-eared bat often roosts in dead or dying trees, live trees are also commonly used. Suitable roosting habitat for northern long-eared bat includes any tree, although deciduous trees are most frequently selected, with a dbh greater than 3 inches with cracks, crevices, exfoliating bark, and/or cavities/hollows that is within 1,000 feet of forested/wooded habitat. Small (less than 10 acres) fragmented forested areas and areas with less than a 45 percent canopy cover are not likely to support northern long-eared bat. During the suitable habitat survey on February 7, 2023, several snags with a dbh greater than 3 inches were observed located in the project area within 1,000 feet of forested/wooded habitat. The majority of the Site consists of young pine forest approximately 5- to 10-years old with dbh ranging from approximately 3 to 10 inches and mature mixed hardwood -pine forest with dbh ranging from approximately 10 to 20 inches in the central section of the Site. Mature forested areas observed onsite contain few trees that could represent potentially suitable summer roosting habitat for the northern long-eared bat. Commonly observed species in the mature mixed hardwood -pine forest included sweetgum (Liquidambar styracifZua), loblolly pine (Pious taeda), etc. Additionally, maintained grassy areas were observed within the northern portion of the Site. Timmons Group is not aware of known maternity roost trees or hibernacula in the vicinity of the Site. According to the USFWS Eastern North Carolina Ecological Services website, Pitt County is not a county with known roosting sites and is located more than 27.62 miles from the nearest 12-digit USGS Hydrologic Unit Map (HUC) with a known winter roosting site. Potentially suitable summer roosting habitat is present, and Pitt County is located within the USFWS current range for the northern -long eared bat. The Site is located near the edge of an urban area with approximately 13.6% (-1,315-acres) of the surrounding 2-miles area occupied by mature forested habitat likely representing suitable roosting habitat. This number excludes approximately 790-acre of additional mature forested area maintained within existing subdivisions, a significant portion of which is located immediately adjacent to the Site. Removal of trees from the Project site will only reduce the percent of forested area within a 2-mile radius to approximately 13.5%. Therefore, the Project is unlikely to result in significant habitat loss or fragmentation for the area. Overall, Pitt County is located within the USFWS current range for the northern -long eared bat and according to the northern long-eared bat Rangewide Determination Key on the USFWS IPaC website, any development of the Site may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the northern long-eared bat. Effects to Federally Threatened Species Neuse River Waterdog Neuse River waterdog requires streams with low to moderate gradient and low current velocity and continuous, year-round flow. The species needs clean, flowing water with high dissolved oxygen concentrations. The species often occurs in streams wider than 15 meters (approximately 49 feet) but has also been known to inhabit smaller creeks. The Neuse River waterdog habitat must have adequate flow to deliver oxygen, provide optimal water temperatures, enable movement, and deliver prey items, as well as to carry away waste materials and remove fine sediments from the bottom substrate. The species is typically found in leaf beds within streams with large bed material but has also been found in streams with hard clay bottoms. None have been found in lakes or ponds. The ditches located onsite do not provide the clean, high dissolved oxygen concentrated water that the Neuse River waterdog requires. There is one potentially jurisdictional ditch and one non - jurisdictional water in the eastern portion of the Site that are disconnected. Additionally, there are three potentially jurisdictional ditches that are connected to two SCM ponds in the central and western portion of the Site. At the time of the habitat assessment, the features had low flow and depths were low, if existent. The NCNHP database report did not identify any known occurrences within the project Site or within a 1-mile radius of the Site boundaries. The ditches onsite do not represent potential suitable habitat for the Neuse River waterdog. Due to the lack of suitable habitat onsite, it is the opinion of Timmons that the proposed project will have no effect on the Neuse River waterdog. Effects to Proposed Federally Protected Species Tricolored Bat On September 14, 2022, the USFWS announced a proposal to list the tricolored bat as endangered under the ESA. The USFWS has not provided an official effective listing date, but it is anticipated to occur in the second half of 2023. Upon listing, the USFWS is expected to provide an area of influence/distribution range for tricolored bat. During the winter, tricolored bats are found in caves and mines, although in the southern United States, where caves are sparse, tricolored bats are often found roosting in road -associated culverts. During the spring, summer, and fall, tricolored bats are found in forested habitats where they roost in trees, primarily among leaves, and within artificial roosts like barns, beneath porch roofs, bridges, concrete bunkers, and rarely within caves. Mixed mature hardwood and pine forests are present in the southeastern portion of the Site; however, most of the Site is composed of young mixed hardwood and pine forests and maintained early successional areas. There are eight cement culverts located within the Site; however, these culverts were 36 inches or less in diameter, some filled with sediment, and would not be suitable roosting and hibernating habitat. The NCNHP database did not identify any known occurrences within a 1-mile radius of the Site. Due to the presence of potential suitable roosting habitat in forested areas, it is our opinion that the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the tricolored bat. Effects to Proposed Candidate Species Monarch Butterfly The majority of the Site consists of young mixed hardwood and pine forest with mature mixed - hardwood pine forest along southeastern portion of the Site and areas of maintained early successional growth in the northern portion of the project area. While evidence of flowering plant species was observed in the maintained early successional growth areas during onsite investigation, occurrences of the monarch butterfly were not noted during Site investigation. Further, the monarch butterfly's habitat is ubiquitous throughout the state and disturbance to areas with potentially suitable habitat is minimal. Therefore, it is the opinion of Timmons Group that the proposed project will have no effect on the monarch butterfly. Effects to Species Listed Due to Similarity of Appearance American Alligator In North Carolina, alligators have been recorded in nearly every coastal county, and many inland counties to the fall line. The alligator is found rivers, streams, canals, lakes, swamps, and coastal marshes. Adult animals are highly tolerant of salt water, but the young are apparently more sensitive, with salinities greater than 5 parts per thousand considered harmful. The American alligator remains on the protected species list due to its similarity in appearance to the endangered American crocodile, which lives in south Florida. Suitable habitat for the American alligator is not present within the Site. No occurrences of the American alligator were noted during Site inspection or within the project area on the NCNHP database search. Because the American alligator is listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance, USFWS ESA Section 7 consultation is not required for the species. The American crocodile range does not overlap with the American alligator in North Carolina. Effects to Federally Protected Species Not Identified through IPaC The Eastern North Carolina Ecological Services Field Office Project Review steps request that reviewers assess their projects for the potential to impact bald eagle nests. 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 January 30, 2023 using 2019 color aerials. No water bodies large enough or sufficiently open to be considered potential feeding sources were identified. Since there was no foraging habitat within the review area, a survey of the project study area and the area within 660 feet of the project limits was not conducted. Per the NCNHP database report, there are no occurrences of the bald eagle or their nests at or within 1-mile of the Site. Further, no occurrences of nests or bald eagles were observed during the Site inspection on February 7, 2022. Therefore, any disturbance of the Site is unlikely to disturb nesting bald eagles and no Eagle Act Permit is required. The enclosed project review package provides the information about the species and critical habitat considered in our review and includes a species conclusions table identifying the determinations.

This project has been assigned Project Code 2023-0039212 and all future correspondence should clearly reference this number. Please carefully review this letter. Your Endangered Species Act (Act) requirements are not complete. Ensuring Accurate Determinations When Using IPaC The Service developed the IPaC system and associated species' determination keys in accordance with the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 87 Stat. 884, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and based on a standing analysis. All information submitted by the Project proponent into the IPaC must accurately represent the full scope and details of the Project. Failure to accurately represent or implement the Project as detailed in IPaC or the Northern Long-eared Bat Rangewide Determination Key (Dkey), invalidates this letter. Determination for the Northern Long -Eared Bat Based upon your IPaC submission and a standing analysis, your project is not reasonably certain to cause incidental take of the northern long-eared bat. Unless the Service advises you within 15 days of the date of this letter that your IPaC-assisted determination was incorrect, this letter verifies that the Action is not likely to result in unauthorized take of the northern long-eared bat. 05/03/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 052-125957686 Other Species and Critical Habitat that May be Present in the Action Area The IPaC-assisted determination for the northern long-eared bat does not apply to the following ESA -protected species and/or critical habitat that also may occur in your Action area: • American Alligator Alligator mississippiensis Similarity of Appearance (Threatened) • Monarch Butterfly Danaus plexippus Candidate • Neuse River Waterdog Necturus lewisi Threatened • Tricolored Bat Perimyotis sub flavus Proposed Endangered You may coordinate with our Office to determine whether the Action may cause prohibited take of the animal species listed above. Note that if a new species is listed that may be affected by the identified action before it is complete, additional review is recommended to ensure compliance with the Endangered Species Act. Next Step Consultation with the Service is necessary. The project has a federal nexus (e.g., Federal funds, permit, etc.), but you are not the federal action agency or its designated (in writing) non-federal representative. Therefore, the ESA consultation status is incomplete and no project activities should occur until consultation between the Service and the Federal action agency (or designated non-federal representative), is completed. As the federal agency or designated non-federal representative deems appropriate, they should submit their determination of effects to the Service by doing the following. 1. Log into IPaC using an agency email account and click on My Projects, click "Search by record locator" to find this Project using 052-125957686. (Alternatively, the originator of the project in IPaC can add the agency representative to the project by using the Add Member button on the project home page.) 2. Review the answers to the Northern Long-eared Bat Range -wide Determination Key to ensure that they are accurate. 3. Click on Review/Finalize to convert the `not likely to adversely affect' consistency letter to a concurrence letter. Download the concurrence letter for your files if needed. If no changes occur with the Project or there are no updates on listed species, no further consultation/coordination for this project is required for the northern long-eared bat. However, the Service recommends that project proponents re-evaluate the Project in IPaC if: 1) the scope, timing, duration, or location of the Project changes (includes any project changes or amendments); 2) new information reveals the Project may impact (positively or negatively) federally listed species or designated critical habitat; or 3) a new species is listed, or critical habitat designated. If any of the above conditions occurs, additional coordination with the Service should take place before project implements any changes which are final or commits additional resources. 05/03/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 052-125957686 If you have any questions regarding this letter or need further assistance, please contact the Raleigh Ecological Services Field Office and reference Project Code 2023-0039212 associated with this Project. 05/03/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 052-125957686 4 Action Description You provided to IPaC the following name and description for the subject Action. 1. Name Regency Townhomes 2. Description The following description was provided for the project'Regency Townhomes': This project is for a proposed residential development in Greenville, NC. The approximate location of the project can be viewed in Google Maps: https: www.google.com/maps/(a)35.557974200000004,-77.39671801582017,14z ,VNn ie7r_ R,0 110 od Rd w.e nptor' Gar t� Ln S 05/03/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 052-125957686 DETERMINATION KEY RESULT Based on the answers provided, the proposed Action is consistent with a determination of "may affect, but not likely to adversely affect" for the Endangered northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). QUALIFICATION INTERVIEW 1. Does the proposed project include, or is it reasonably certain to cause, intentional take of the northern long-eared bat or any other listed species? Note: Intentional take is defined as take that is the intended result of a project. Intentional take could refer to research, direct species management, surveys, and/or studies that include intentional handling/encountering, harassment, collection, or capturing of any individual of a federally listed threatened, endangered or proposed species? No 2. Your project overlaps with an area where northern long-eared bats may be present year- round. Time -of -year restrictions may not be appropriate for your project due to bats being active all year. Do you understand that your project may impact bats at any time during the year and time - of -year restrictions may not apply to your project? Yes 3. Do you have post -white nose syndrome occurrence data that indicates that northern long- eared bats (NLEB) are likely to be present in the action area? Bat occurrence data may include identification of NLEBs in hibernacula, capture of NLEBs, tracking of NLEBs to roost trees, or confirmed acoustic detections. With this question, we are looking for data that, for some reason, may have not yet been made available to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. No 4. Does any component of the action involve construction or operation of wind turbines? Note: For federal actions, answer `yes' if the construction or operation of wind power facilities is either (1) part of the federal action or (2) would not occur but for a federal agency action (federal permit, funding, etc.). No 5. Is the proposed action authorized, permitted, licensed, funded, or being carried out by a Federal agency in whole or in part? Yes 05/03/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 052-125957686 6. Is the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding or authorizing the proposed action, in whole or in part? No 7. Are you an employee of the federal action agency or have you been officially designated in writing by the agency as its designated non-federal representative for the purposes of Endangered Species Act Section 7 informal consultation per 50 CFR § 402.08? Note: This key may be used for federal actions and for non-federal actions to facilitate section 7 consultation and to help determine whether an incidental take permit may be needed, respectively. This question is for information purposes only. No 8. Is the lead federal action agency the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or Federal Communications Commission (FCC)? Is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or Federal Communications Commission (FCC) funding or authorizing the proposed action, in whole or in part? No 9. Have you determined that your proposed action will have no effect on the northern long- eared bat? Remember to consider the effects of any activities that would not occur but for the proposed action. If you think that the northern long-eared bat may be affected by your project or if you would like assistance in deciding, answer "No" below and continue through the key. If you have determined that the northern long-eared bat does not occur in your project's action area and/or that your project will have no effects whatsoever on the species despite the potential for it to occur in the action area, you may make a "no effect" determination for the northern long-eared bat. Note: Federal agencies (or their designated non-federal representatives) must consult with USFWS on federal agency actions that may affect listed species [50 CFR 402.14(a)]. Consultation is not required for actions that will not affect listed species or critical habitat. Therefore, this determination key will not provide a consistency or verification letter for actions that will not affect listed species. If you believe that the northern long-eared bat may be affected by your project or if you would like assistance in deciding, please answer "No" and continue through the key. Remember that this key addresses only effects to the northern long-eared bat. Consultation with USFWS would be required if your action may affect another listed species or critical habitat. The definition of Effects of the Action can be found here: https://www.fws.gov/media/northern-long-eared-bat-assisted-determination-key- s elected -definitions No 10. Your project overlaps with an area where northern long-eared bats may be present year- round. Is suitable northern long-eared bat habitat present within 1000 feet of project activities? Yes 05/03/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 052-125957686 11. Will the action cause effects to a bridge? No 12. Will the action result in effects to a culvert or tunnel? No 13. Does the action include the intentional exclusion of northern long-eared bats from a building or structure? Note: Exclusion is conducted to deny bats' entry or reentry into a building. To be effective and to avoid harming bats, it should be done according to established standards. If your action includes bat exclusion and you are unsure whether northern long-eared bats are present, answer "Yes." Answer "No" if there are no signs of bat use in the building/structure. If unsure, contact your local U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Ecological Services Field Office to help assess whether northern long-eared bats may be present. Contact a Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator (NWCO) for help in how to exclude bats from a structure safely without causing harm to the bats (to find a NWCO certified in bat standards, search the Internet using the search term "National Wildlife Control Operators Association bats"). Also see the White -Nose Syndrome Response Team's guide for bat control in structures No 14. Does the action involve removal, modification, or maintenance of a human -made structure (barn, house, or other building) known or suspected to contain roosting bats? No 15. Will the action cause construction of one or more new roads open to the public? For federal actions, answer `yes' when the construction or operation of these facilities is either (1) part of the federal action or (2) would not occur but for an action taken by a federal agency (federal permit, funding, etc.). Yes 16. Will any new road go through any area of contiguous forest that is greater than or equal to 10 acres in total extent? Note: "Contiguous forest" of 10 acres or more may includes areas where multiple forest patches are separated by less than 1,000 feet of non -forest if the forested patches, added together, comprise at least 10 acres. No 17. Will any new road pass between two patches of contiguous forest that are each greater than or equal to 10 acres in extent and are separated by less than 1,000 feet? Northern long- eared bats may cross a road by flying between forest patches that are up to 1,000 feet apart. Note: "Contiguous forest" of 10 acres or more may includes areas where multiple forest patches are separated by less than 1,000 feet of non -forested area if the forested patches, added together, comprise at least 10 acres. No 05/03/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 052-125957686 8 18. Will the action include or cause any construction or other activity that is reasonably certain to increase average daily traffic on one or more existing roads? Note: For federal actions, answer `yes' when the construction or operation of these facilities is either (1) part of the federal action or (2) would not occur but for an action taken by a federal agency (federal permit, funding, etc.). . Yes 19. Will the increased vehicle traffic occur on any road that lies between any two areas of contiguous forest that are each greater than or equal to 10 acres in extent and are separated by less than 1,000 feet? Northern long-eared bats may cross a road by flying between forest patches that are up to 1,000 feet apart. Note: "Contiguous forest" of 10 acres or more may includes areas where multiple forest patches are separated by less than 1,000 feet of non -forested area if the forested patches, added together, comprise at least 10 acres. No 20. Will the proposed action involve the creation of a new water -borne contaminant source (e.g., leachate pond pits containing chemicals that are not NSF/ANSI 60 compliant)? No 21. Will the proposed action involve the creation of a new point source discharge from a facility other than a water treatment plant or storm water system? No 22. Will the action include drilling or blasting? No 23. Will the action involve military training (e.g., smoke operations, obscurant operations, exploding munitions, artillery fire, range use, helicopter or fixed wing aircraft use)? No 24. Will the proposed action involve the use of herbicides or pesticides other than herbicides (e.g., fungicides, insecticides, or rodenticides)? No 25. Will the action include or cause activities that are reasonably certain to cause chronic nighttime noise in suitable summer habitat for the northern long-eared bat? Chronic noise is noise that is continuous or occurs repeatedly again and again for a long time. Note: Additional information defining suitable summer habitat for the northern long-eared bat can be found at: https://www.fws. gov/media/northern-long-eared-bat-as sisted-determination-key-s elected -definitions No 05/03/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 052-125957686 26. Does the action include, or is it reasonably certain to cause, the use of artificial lighting within 1000 feet of suitable northern long-eared bat roosting habitat? Note: Additional information defining suitable roosting habitat for the northern long-eared bat can be found at: https://www.fws. gov/media/northern-long-eared-bat-as sisted-determination-key-s elected -definitions No 27. Will the action include tree cutting or other means of knocking down or bringing down trees, tree topping, or tree trimming? Yes 28. Has a presence/probable absence summer bat survey targeting the northern long-eared bat following the Service's Range -wide Indiana Bat and Northern Long -Eared Bat Survey Guidelines been conducted within the project area? If unsure, answer "No." No 29. Does the action include emergency cutting or trimming of hazard trees in order to remove an imminent threat to human safety or property? See hazard tree note at the bottom of the key for text that will be added to response letters Note: A "hazard tree" is a tree that is an immediate threat to lives, public health and safety, or improved property and has a diameter breast height of six inches or greater. No 30. Your project overlaps with an area where northern long-eared bats may be present year- round. To minimize or avoid impacts to the northern long-eared bat, all activities affecting trees should not occur from December 15th to February 15th and April 15th to July 30th. Will any project activites occur from December 15th to February 15th and/or April 15th to July 30th. No 31. Will the action cause trees to be cut, knocked down, or otherwise brought down across an area greater than 1 acre? Yes 05/03/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 052-125957686 10 PROJECT QUESTIONNAIRE Enter the extent of the action area (in acres) from which trees will be removed - round up to the nearest tenth of an acre. For this question, include the entire area where tree removal will take place, even if some live or dead trees will be left standing. 12 Will all potential northern long-eared bat (NLEB) roost trees (trees >_3 inches diameter at breast height, dbh) be cut, knocked, or brought down from any portion of the action area greater than or equal to 0.1 acre? If all NLEB roost trees will be removed from multiple areas, select `Yes' if the cumulative extent of those areas meets or exceeds 0.1 acre. No Enter the extent of the action area (in acres) from which all potential NLEB roost trees will be removed.

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 05/03/2023 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. 05/03/2023 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.

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 (a) 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: 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. 05/03/2023 3 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. probability of presence breeding season I survey effort — no data SPECIES JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC Bald Eagle Non -BCC I I I L.

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, bandim 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 05/03/2023 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 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 05/03/2023 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 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. 05/03/2023 7 IPAC USER CONTACT INFORMATION Agency: Timmons Group Name: Kate Hefner Address: 5410 Trinity Road Address Line 2: Suite 102 City: Raleigh State: NC Zip: 27607 Email kate.hefner@timmons.com Phone: 8284554636 LEAD AGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION Lead Agency: Army Corps of Engineers Roy Cooper, Governor ■■■10 INC DEPARTMENT OF ■■ ■■ NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES ■ ONE May 3, 2023 Kate Hefner Timmons Group 5410 Trinity Road Raleigh, NC 27607 RE: Regency Townhomes - Update; 56679 Dear Kate Hefner: D. Reid Wilson, Secretary Misty Buchanan Deputy DirectDr, Natural Heritage Program 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.

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 06/01/2023 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. 06/01/2023 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.

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 (a) 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: 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. 06/01/2023 3 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. probability of presence breeding season I survey effort — no data SPECIES JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC Bald Eagle Non -BCC I I I L.

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, bandim 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 06/01/2023 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 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 06/01/2023 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 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. 06/01/2023 7 IPAC USER CONTACT INFORMATION Agency: Timmons Group Name: Kate Hefner Address: 5410 Trinity Road Address Line 2: Suite 102 City: Raleigh State: NC Zip: 27607 Email kate.hefner@timmons.com Phone: 8284554636 LEAD AGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION Lead Agency: Army Corps of Engineers Roy Cooper, Governor on ■o INC DEPARTMENT OF N ) ■■minim NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES ■ ■®■ June1.2023 Kate Hefner Timmons Group 5410 Trinity Road Raleigh, NC 27607 RE: Regency Townhomes - PCN Update Dear Kate Hefner: D. Reid Wilson, Secretary Misty Buchanan Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program NCNHDE-22155 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.
