Project Code: 2023-0089892
Project Name: Cumberland County Industrial Park Project
June 06, 2023
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

06/06/2023
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.

06/06/2023
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.

ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT SPECIES
There is a total of 8 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.

MIGRATORY BIRDS
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act! and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act2.
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 Treater 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.

The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be
present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project
activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the
FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting
to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence (■)
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week
months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see
below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher
confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in
the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for
that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee
was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is
0.25.

2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence
in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12
(0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on
week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the
probability of presence score.
Breeding Season( )
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.

06/06/2023
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
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

06/06/2023
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.

RE: Cumberland County Industrial Park Project
Dear Johanna Velasquez:
13. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, 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.
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:
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.
Also please note that 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 an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler�ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,

Section 401 Water Quality Certification meeting request accordance with the September
11, 2020 issuance of the Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 401 Certification (85 Fed. Reg.
42,210 [July 13, 2020]). Please consider this email and attached supporting information as
our request for a pre -filing meeting in connection to PNG's proposed Cumberland County
Regulator Station Project (Project) in Cumberland County, North Carolina. Key Project
information is provided below:
Project Name: Cumberland County Regulator Station Project
County: Cumberland
Applicant Name: Piedmont Natural Gas
Applicant Email: robert.burris2&duke-energy.com (client); eric.mularski&hdrinc.com
(agent)
The proposed Project includes the construction of an approximately 100' x 100'
fenced in above ground regulator station and the abandonment of an existing
approximately 40' x 10' regulator station. The new station will abut the existing
pipeline easement and station requiring additional temporary construction easement
during construction. The Project will also include the improvement of an existing
access road, the installation of a new section of that access road, and the temporary
construction access along the existing pipeline easement. The existing access road
improvements will be made within a utility corridor that contains underground water,
gas, and sewer lines and overhead electric lines. Clearing and grading will be
performed around the new project site, the new portion of the access road, and in the
temporary construction areas.
On February 15, 2023, HDR biologists surveyed for the presence of wetlands and
jurisdictional waters of the U.S. regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. On -
site reconnaissance identified 2 jurisdictional streams and 4 jurisdictional wetlands within
the proposed routes and other areas that may be potentially disturbed by Project activities.
The assessment was completed as part of HDR's initial Project site evaluation to identify
key environmental resources to be considered for permitting and/or design. The proposed
Project will result in unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional surface waters and will require a
401 Water Quality Certification from the N.C. Division of Water Resources.
Thank you for your assistance with respect to this project. Should you have any questions
or require additional information, please contact me at eric.mularskiC_hdrinc.com or (704)

PNG's existing system requires improvements to infrastructure to adhere to new federal guidelines and to keep
up with estimated customer growth. The purpose of the proposed Project is to construct an above ground
regulator station and abandon an existing regulator station. The new station will abut the existing pipeline
easement and station, requiring additional temporary construction easement during construction. The Project will
also include improvement of an existing access road, installation of a new section of that access road, and
temporary construction access along the existing pipeline easement. The proposed access road will be
constructed within a corridor that contains an existing underground gas line.
Page 7 of 23 PCN Form Version 4.3- April 20, 2022

4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The Project proposes to construct a new metering and regulator station. The Study Area is approximately 0.2
miles long and varies between 170 feet to 30 feet wide. The permanent access road will begin at Walmart Drive
and extend in a northeastern direction and terminate at the proposed regulator station. In addition, a temporary
access road will be needed to access and demolish the existing regulator station.
One ford -style crossing is proposed at Stream 2 (tributary to Rockfish Creek; see Appendix B, Figure 6) that will
result in a total of 54 linear feet of permanent stream impacts. The crossing is needed to allow permanent
maintenance access during operations. Wetland impacts will result from the construction of the permanent and
temporary access roads as well as grading near the new regulator station footprint. Clearing and grading
activities around the Project site will be minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
Activities and associated impacts to jurisdictional waters are depicted in Appendix F and Impact Figure
(Appendix B, Figure 7).
4j. Attach project drawings/site diagrams/depictions of impact areas for the proposed project.
4k. Will this activity involve dredging in wetlands or waters?
❑ Yes ❑x No
If yes, describe the type of dredging, the composition of the dredged material, and the locations of disposal area.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through project design:
An on -site delineation was conducted to identify on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. within the vicinity of the
Project. The survey aided in the Project design to avoid and minimize impacts to identified aquatic resources to
the maximum extent practicable.
The rip rap for the proposed ford -style crossing will be set below the existing stream bed elevation to
accommodate base flows and promote passage for aquatic organisms.
A bar ditch will be construction along the northern portion of the permanent access road. The bar ditch will not
drain existing surace waters and is not anticipated to negatively effect surface water flow.
The proposed limits of disturbance (LOD) within the Study Area incorporates portions of existing right-of-way,
reducing permanent impacts to the forested portions of Wetland 3. In addition, temporary timber matting will be
installed in wetlands to prevent rutting and disturbance from heavy construction equipment (Appendix F, Sheet
42).
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize proposed impacts through construction techniques:
To prevent sedimentation of downstream waters, construction will be conducted in the dry. Proper sediment and
erosion control measures will be implemented as outlined in Sheets 41 —44 (Appendix F). Best Management
Practices employed for this Project will be in compliance with the most recent version of the "North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" and the local governing authority. Inspection of all
erosion control devices will be routinely inspected to verify that they are functioning properly. Any accumulated
sediment will be removed and placed in a designated upland spoil disposal area. After construction, disturbed
areas will be restored and stabilized as soon as possible. No waste, spoil, or fill will be placed within wetlands or
streams beyond the permitted disturbance limits.
Wetland restoration activities will consist of re -grading impacted areas to original pre -construction contours, and
re -seeding disturbed areas with a native wetland seed mix as outlined in Sheet 44 (Appendix F).

5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated
Critical Habitat?
HDR utilized the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC)
database and the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Element Occurrence database (Appendix
G) to evaluate the potential occurrence of federally protected species that may occur within the Study Area. The
NCNHP Element Occurrence database indicated no occurrences of federally protected species within the Study
Area or within a one -mile radius of the Study Area.
The USFWS IPaC database indicated the following eight (7) federally protected species that have the potential to
occur within the Study Area: red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), American alligator (Alligator
miss issippiensis), monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), American chaffseed (Schwalbea americana), Michaux's
sumac (Rhus michauxii), pondberry (Lindera melissifolia), and rough -leaved loosestrife (Lysimachia
asperulaefolia).
HDR biologists conducted field surveys on February 15 and June 2, 2023. Although surveys found suitable
habitat present for the tricolored bat, monarch butterfly, Michaux's sumac, and rough -leaved loosestrife, no
species were found during the field visits.
HDR submitted a Project Review Request Package to the USFWS's Raleigh, North Carolina Field Office on July
3, 2023 to review and comment on potential issues with federally protected species. As of the date of this writing,
a response has not yet been received.

HDR reviewed the National Park Service NRHP GIS Public Dataset (NPS 2022) and the NCSHPO HPOWEB
GIS Web Service (NCSHPO 2022) for known historic architectural resources or historic districts that may be
present in the vicinity of the Project. The review identified two historic architectural resources within a one -mile
radius of the Project (Appendix H).
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on April 4, 2023 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be
affected by the project. In a reply letter dated May 12, 2023 (Appendix H), the SHPO determined no historic
resources would be affected by the project. In an email dated May 22, 2023 (Appendix H), the SHPO concluded
that no archaeological or historic structures survey will be needed.
