U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
WILMINGTON DISTRICT
Action Id. SAW-2022-01670 County: Brunswick County
NOTIFICATION OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERNIINATION
Property Owner/Applicant: Noah Dean
Address: 5315 South College Road, Suite E
Wilmington, NC 28412
Telephone Number: [phone]
Email Address: Ndean(a),sepi.us
Size (acres) 138.7 Nearest Town Bolivia, NC
Nearest Waterway Lockwoods Folly River River Basin Lower Pee Dee
USGS HUC 03040208 Coordinates Latitude: 34.038111 Longitude:-78.206058
Location description: This 138 acre project site is located on Old Ocean HWY 17 in Bolivia, Brunswick County, NC.
(Parcel ID: 1530001001).
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
X There annear to be waters, including wetlands, on the above described nronerty, that may be subiect to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC & 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC � 403). The
waters, including wetlands, have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently
accurate and reliable. Therefore this preliminary iurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation
process, including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory
mitigation requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD
will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are
iurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory
Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD,
which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
_ There appear to be waters, including wetlands, on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands, have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including
determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other
resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that
would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary
determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part
331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further
instruction.
_ There appear to be waters, including wetlands, on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the
waters, including wetlands, have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the
permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective
presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction overall of the waters, including wetlands, at the project area, which is not sufficiently
accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the
waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.

SAW-2022-01670
B. Approved Determination
_ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described property subject to the permit requirements of
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC §
1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to
exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ There are waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on the above described property subject to the permit requirements of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ We recommend you have the waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be
able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.
_ The waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on your property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by
the Corps. We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and
verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on
your property which, unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed
five years from the date of this notification.
_ The waters of the U.S., including wetlands, have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed
by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on . Unless there is a change in law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described property which are subject to the permit
requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations,
this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
X The Property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Wilmington, NC to determine their requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Gary Beecher at [phone] or
Ga ry.H.Beecher(&usace. army.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: N/A. An Approved JD has not been completed.
D. Remarks: A desk top review was conducted on this Preliminary JD application using information obtained form the
consultant (SEGI) and from Corps produced QL2 Lidar Maps.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
The delineation included herein has been conducted to identify the location and extent of the aquatic resource boundaries and/or the
jurisdictional status of aquatic resources for purposes of the Clean Water Act for the particular site identified in this request. This
delineation and/or jurisdictional determination may not be valid for the Wetland Conservation Provisions of the Food Security Act of
1985, as amended. If you or your tenant are USDA program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should
discuss the applicability of a certified wetland determination with the local USDA service center, prior to starting work.
F. Appeals Information for Approved Jurisdiction Determinations (as indicated in Section B. above)

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review
area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an
approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the

various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General
Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction notification" (PCN), or
requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has
not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit
applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official
determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD
before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or
different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than
accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant
can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that
permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an AJD
constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g.,
signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area
affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such
jurisdiction in any administrative orjudicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any
administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AID
or a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AID, a proffered individual
permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be
administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over
aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic
resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is
practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be"
navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the
review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Re: Online Project Review Request, Hall Tract, Brunswick County, North Carolina
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 Coastal Plain Physiographic Province and encompasses
approximately 138.9 acres in Bolivia, North Carolina within Brunswick County. The Site
consists primarily of forested area with approximately 12 acres of maintained open area
associated with agricultural uses, two palustrine forested wetlands totaling approximately 79
acres, two potential non -wetland waters totaling approximately 1366 linear feet, and one
maintained power utility easement. Lockwoods Folly River borders and transects the southern
perimeter of the Site, within the wetland area. In addition, approximately 20 acres of the forested
area appears to be a planted pine forest with an approximate age of 20 years. The Site is bounded
by forested and residential area to the north and west, and forested areas to the south and east.
The Site is located within the Scotts Branch-Lockwoods Folly River subwatershed (Hydrologic
Unit Code [HUC] HUC 030402080104) in the Lumber River Basin. The Site drains to the south
via surface flow and unnamed tributaries to Lockwoods Folly River, which has a NC Division of
Water Resources (DWR) Stream Index Number of 15-25-1-(1) and a Stream Classification of
C; Sw.

Proposed Project
Our proposed action consists of a mixed multi- and single-family residential development in
Bolivia, North Carolina within Brunswick 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 utility connections, road crossings, and grading (where required).
The project is expected to be completed over several years. Construction is anticipated to take
place between late 2023 into 2024, 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 USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaQ species report for the Site
requested on May 5, 2023 (Project Code: 2023-0078332) identified six federally listed
endangered species, including northern long-eared bat (Hyotis septentrionalis), red -cockaded
woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Kemp's Ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii), leatherback sea
turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), Cooley's meadowrue (Thalictrum cooleyi), and the rough -leaved
loosestrife (Lysimachia asperulaefolia) as potentially occurring within the vicinity of the Site. In
addition, the IPaC species report identified four federally listed threatened species potentially
occurring within the vicinity of the site: loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), green sea turtle
(Chelonia mydas), red knot (Calidris canutus rufa), and piping plover (Charadrius melodus).
Additionally, two proposed endangered species, the magnificent ramshorn (Planorbella
magnifica), and the tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus), and one candidate species, the monarch
butterfly (Danaus 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) and northern long-eared bat (Hyotis septentrionalis).
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database report (NCNHDE-21819) was
requested on May 5, 2023. No federally protected species were identified as occurring within the
project area, but one occurrence of the bald eagle, and one occurrence of the American alligator
was documented within a 1-mile radius of the project area. Further, no critical habitat was
identified within the Site or a 1-mile radius.
On May 10, 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.
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 Lonz-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 May 10, 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 mature mixed hardwood -pine forest with dbh ranging from
approximately 3 to 25 throughout the Site. Mature forested areas observed onsite contain several
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 sweet -gum
(Liquidambar styracifZua), and loblolly pine (Pious taeda). Additionally, maintained grassy areas
associated with utility easements 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, the Site is
located more than 45 miles from the nearest 12-digit USGS Hydrologic Unit Map (HUC) with a
known winter roosting site for northern long-eared bat. Additionally, potentially suitable summer
roosting habitat is present throughout the Site, and Brunswick County is located within the
USFWS current range for the northern -long eared bat. 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.
Red -cockaded Woodpecker
In southeastern North Carolina (Brunswick, Carteret, Craven, Jones, New Hanover, Onslow, and
Pender counties), RCWs forage and nest in both xeric and pocosin communities with low site
productivity. In the southern coastal plain, pines used for foraging and nesting may be smaller
and shorter than in other populations. Groups will use wet pine flatwoods, pond pine woodland,
and high pocosin for foraging and nesting. Nesting and roosting pine trees are typically found in
open stands with little or no hardwood mid -story and few or no overstory hardwoods. RCWs will
abandon otherwise suitable nesting/roosting areas when the mid -story approaches cavity height;
therefore, midstory height should generally be less than 12 feet. Territory size for clusters of
RCW groups ranges from 75 to 500 acres in size. Suitable foraging habitat generally consists of
greater than 50% mature pines (30 years in age or older and equal to or greater than [>] 8 inches
diameter at breast height [dbh]) in an open canopy, less densities of small pines, little or no
hardwood or pine mid -story, few or no overstory hardwoods, and abundant native bunchgrasses
and forb groundcovers. Foraging habitat should be within 0.5 miles of nesting habitat. They

prefer larger, older pines for foraging and find their prey by flaking away and probing under pine
bark but will use hardwoods. To a lesser extent, they also eat fruits for seeds from species,
including pines (Pious spp.), poison ivy (Rhus radicans), magnolia (Magnolia spp.), wax myrtle
(Myrica spp.), wild cherry (Prunus serotina), wild grape (Vitus spp.), blueberry (Vaccinum spp.)
and blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica).
Forested areas compose approximately 90% of the Site and include mature mixed hardwood -
pine. The mature mixed hardwood -pine forest is comprised of approximately 35% loblolly pine
trees with a moderately dense understory. Therefore, suitable nesting and foraging areas are not
present within the Site. Additionally, occurrences of RCW and cavity trees were not observed
within the project area or noted in the NCNHP database report. According to the RCW
Consultation Area Map shown in Appendix A of the RCW SLOPES manual, the Site is located
within a consultation area. Therefore, relying on the SLOPES guidelines and guidance from the
USFWS, location of the project inside of the RCW SLOPES consultation area, and lack of
suitable nesting habitat within the Site, it is the opinion of Timmons Group that the proposed
project will have no effect on the red -cockaded woodpecker.
Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle and Leatherback Sea Turtle
Kemp's ridley sea turtle and leatherback sea turtle are found in temperate and tropical oceans
and nest on beaches. The leatherback sea turtle has been reported to enter into bays, estuaries,
and other inland bodies of water.
The Site is not located on beaches or near waters where sea turtles may be present. Further, there
were no occurrences of the species documented in the NCNHP database report within the Site or
a 1-mile radius. Due to the lack of suitable habitat, it is the opinion of Timmons Group that the
project will have no effect on Kemp's ridley sea turtle and leatherback sea turtle.
Cooley's Meadowrue
Cooley's meadowrue occurs in sunny, moist to wet grass -sedge bogs, wet -pine savannas over
calcareous clays, and savannah -like areas, often at the ecotones of intermittent drainages or non-
riverine swamp forests. This rhizomatous perennial herb is also found along plowed firebreaks,
roadside ditches and rights -of -way, forest clearings dominated by grass or sedge, and power line
or utility rights -of -way. The species requires some type of disturbance (e.g., mowing, clearing,
periodic fire) to maintain its open habitat. The plant typically occurs on slightly acidic (pH 5.8-
6.6) soils that are loamy fine sand, sandy loam, or fine sandy loam; at least seasonally moist or
saturated; and mapped as Foreston, Grifton, Muckalee, Torhunta, or Woodington series.
According to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) Web Soil Survey (WSS) data,
the soil onsite ranges from extremely acid to strongly acid (pH 3.5-5.5), which is too low for the
species and therefore would not be suitable habitat. The open grassy areas are associated with
maintained power utility easements and are frequently mowed and maintained and therefore
would not provide suitable growing conditions for the species. Further, no occurrences of the
species were documented in the NCNHP database report within the Site or a 1-mile radius. Due
to the lack of suitable habitat, it is the opinion of Timmons that any proposed disturbance will
have no effect on Cooley's meadowrue.
Rough -leaved Loosestrife
Rough -leaved loosestrife generally occurs in the ecotones or edges between longleaf pine

uplands and pond pine pocosins in dense shrub and vine growth on moist to seasonally saturated
sands and on shallow organic soils overlaying sand. Occurrences are found in such disturbed
habitats as roadside depressions, maintained power and utility line rights -of -way, firebreaks, and
trails. The species prefers full sunlight, is shade intolerant, and requires areas of disturbance
(e.g., clearing, mowing, periodic burning) where the overstory is minimal. It can, however,
persist vegetatively for many years in overgrown, fire -suppressed areas. Blaney, Gilead,
Johnston, Kalmia, Leon, Mandarin, Murville, Torhunta, and Vaucluse are some of the soil series
that the plant occurs on.
The understory of the Site in the forests is not clear enough to provide suitable habitat for rough -
leaved loosestrife. The majority of the open grassy areas are frequently maintained, and were not
moist to seasonally saturated, therefore, suitable habitat is not present for the species. The
species identified in the grassy areas include early successional species such as broomsedge
(Andropogon virginicus) and dog fennel (Eupatorium capillifolium). Further, no occurrences of
the species were documented in the NCNHP database report within the Site or a 1-mile radius.
Due to the lack of suitable habitat, it is the opinion of Timmons that any proposed disturbance
will have no effect on rough -leaved loosestrife.
Effects to Federally Threatened Species
Piping Plover
The piping plover breeds along the entire eastern coast of the United States. North Carolina is
uniquely positioned in the species' range, being the only State where the piping plover's
breeding and wintering ranges overlap and the birds are present year-round. Coastal habitats
include sand spits, small islands, tidal flats, shoals and sandbars with inlets. Primary foraging
habitats include sandy mud flats, ephemeral pools and seasonally emergent seagrass beds with
abundant invertebrates. They nest most commonly where there is little or no vegetation, but
some may nest in stands of beach grass. The nest is a shallow depression in the sand that is
usually lined with shell fragments and light-colored pebbles.
No coastal habitats are present within the Site, Further, no occurrences of piping plover were
noted during in the NCNHP database search. Due to the lack of suitable habitat, it is the opinion
of Timmons that any proposed disturbance will have no effect on piping plover.
Red Knot
Habitats used by red knots in migration and wintering areas include coastal marine and estuarine
habitats with large areas of exposed intertidal sediments. The red knot is commonly found along
sandy, gravel, or cobble beaches, tidal mudflats, salt marshes, shallow coastal impoundments and
lagoons, and peat banks. Ephemeral features such as sand spits, islets, shoals, and sandbars, often
associated with inlets can be important habitat for roosting.
No marine or estuarine habitats are present within the Site. Further, no occurrences of red knot
were noted in the NCNHP database search. Due to the lack of suitable habitat, it is the opinion of
Timmons that any proposed disturbance will have no effect on red knot.
Green Sea Turtle and Loggerhead Sea Turtle
The green sea turtle and loggerhead sea turtle are found in temperate and tropical oceans and nest
on beaches. The green sea turtle can also be found in shallow waters where an abundance of

marine grass is present. The loggerhead sea turtle also uses near shore area and has been
observed in bays, lagoons, salt marshes, creeks, ship channels, and the mouths of large rivers.
The Site is not located on beaches or near waters where sea turtles may be present. Further, there
were no occurrences of the species documented in the NCNHP database report within the Site or
a 1-mile radius. Due to the lack of suitable habitat, it is the opinion of Timmons Group that the
project will have no effect on the green sea turtle and loggerhead sea turtle.
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, culverts, and rarely within caves.
In the North Carolina piedmont during all seasons of the year, tricolored bat may be found
hibernating or roosting in culverts; therefore, the removal or modifications to culverts may affect
tricolored bat if present. If culvert modifications or replacements are proposed, then surveys by a
qualified biologist are recommend prior to modification, extension, or removal of culverts
greater than 24 inches in diameter.
Mature hardwood and pine forests are present throughout portions of the Site along streams. The
NCNHP database did not identify any known occurrences within a 1-mile radius of the Site.
Potential suitable roosting habitat is present in forested areas on Site; however, there are no
known records of the species within 1 mile of the Site, therefore, it is our opinion that the
proposed project is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the tricolored bat.
Magnificent Ramshorn
According to information obtained from the USFWS Online Database, the magnificent ramshorn
is a salt intolerant snail endemic to the lower Cape Fear River Basin. The magnificent ramshorn
is an air -breathing snail, historically documented from only four sites in the lower Cape Fear
River Basin in southeastern North Carolina. In the past 40 years, repeated surveys conducted by
USFWS in suitable habitat within the known historical range have yielded no observations of the
magnificent ramshorn. All known magnificent ramshorn snails are currently in captivity and are
descendants of adult snails from two distinct populations from Pleasant Oaks Pond and Orton
Pond in Brunswick County, North Carolina. It is believed to be extirpated from the wild and the
last individual seen in the wild was in 2004-2005. Although the complete historical range of the
species is unknown, its size and the fact that it was not reported until 1903 suggest that the
species may have always been rare and localized. Additionally, no occurrences of magnificent
ramshorn were noted in the NCNHP database search. Although the site contains suitable habitat
for the species, due to the lack of historical presence, it is the opinion of Timmons Group that the

proposed disturbance will have no effect on the magnificent ramshorn.
Effects to Proposed Candidate Species
Monarch Butterfly
The majority of the Site consists mature mixed -hardwood pine forest throughout the Site, one
open maintained area in the western portion of the Site, and one maintained power utility
easement in the northern portion of the Site. While evidence of flowering plant species was
observed along the edges of the maintained 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 present in the streams and waters located within the
Site. No occurrences of the American alligator were noted during Site inspection. One
occurrence of the American alligator was noted on February 26, 2018 within one mile of 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 May 8, 2023 using September 2021 color aerials. One large water body
was identified approximately 0.5 miles west of the Site, which could be considered a potential
feeding source, so the survey area was extended by a radius of 660 feet. Per the NCNHP
database report, there was one occurrence of the bald eagle within 1-mile of the Site in 2011.
Further, no occurrences of nests or bald eagles were observed during the Site inspection on May
10, 2023. 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.

b) No...................................................................................................................................................No effect'
2) Is the action area' located in the northeastern coastal plain (see Appendix A)?
a) Yes.......................................................................................................................................................go to 3
b) No (the project is located in piedmont, sandhills, or southeastern coastal plain)..................go to 4
3) Is the action area' located in a forested area with pine trees present in northeast North Carolina (e.g.,
high pocosiin, Atlantic white cedar, nonriverine swamp forests, pond pine woodland, coastal fringe
evergreen forest, wet successional pine pine -hardwood forest, or pine plantation or uplands)? If yes,
are the pine trees greater than 30 }ears of age (if stand age is not readily determinpd, refer to Table
1 for a description of the minimum dbh of 30-year-old pines associated with each community type).
If the answer to both of these questions is yes, choose Yes below. If the answer to one or both
questions is no, then choose No below.
a) Yes.......................................................................................................................................................go to 8
b) No...................................................................................................................................................No effect'
4) Is the action area' located within suitable RCW foraging or nesting habitat (pine or pine/hardwood
stands in which 5("/0 or more of the dominant trees are pines and the dominant pine trees are 30
years of age or older or z8-inches dbh')?
a) Yes.......................................................................................................................................................go to 5
b) No...................................................................................................................................................No effect'
5) Will any activity in the action area' remove trees equal to or greater than 8 inches dbh; or will any

waters of the U.S., project plans, and details concerning certain activities on disturbances that would
occur in the action area' (e.g. percussive activities, forest management, or similar disturbances), may
be needed for the USACE to determine the action area(s)' of the project. If a survey is required and
agreed to by the applicant, all suitable RCW nesting habitat within 0.5 miles of the action area' should
be surveyed according to USFWS protocol for the presence of RCW cavity trees'. If the applicant is
unwilling or unable to conduct the survey, standard consultation with the USFWS should begin. Such
surveys are conducted by running line transects through stands and visually inspecting all medium-
sized and large pines for evidence of cavity excavation by RCWs. Transects must be spaced so that all
trees are inspected and are run north -south.

Raleigh Ecological Services Field Office
Post Office Box 33726
Raleigh, NC 27636-3726
Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone]
In Reply Refer To: May 05, 2023
Project Code: 2023-0078332
Project Name: Hall Tract
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

05/05/2023
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/e 0-13186. php.

05/05/2023
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 14 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
Fisheriesl, 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 Actz.
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 TreateT� 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 (■)
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

05/05/2023
3
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.

05/05/2023
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian
Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding_,
and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as
occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as
warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act
requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your
project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list
of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information
Locator (RAIL) Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data
provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing
collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets.
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information
becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and
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).

05/05/2023
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made,
in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC
species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can
implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles,
please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species
and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the
Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides
birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird
model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical
Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use
throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this
information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Lorin.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of
birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for
identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC
use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be
aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no
data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey
effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you
know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement
conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,
should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell
me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

Dear Emory Quillian:
D_ Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
NCNHDE-21819
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one -mile
radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.aov/offices/Di rectory/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 nev.butlerCd�ncdcr.aov or 919-707-8603.

Project Code: 2023-0121597
Project Name: Hall Tract
August 25, 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 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 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

08/25/2023
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:
https://www.fws. gov/sites/defaultlfiles/documents/endangered-species-consultation-
handbook.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/program/migratory-bird-permit/what-
we-do.
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/library/collections/threats-birds.
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/partner/council-conservation-
migratory-birds.

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 14 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.

CRITICAL HABITATS
THERE ARE NO CRITICAL HABITATS WITHIN YOUR PROJECT AREA UNDER THIS OFFICE'S
JURISDICTION.
YOU ARE STILL REQUIRED TO DETERMINE IF YOUR PROJECT(S) MAY HAVE EFFECTS ON ALL
ABOVE LISTED SPECIES.
MIGRATORY BIRDS
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act! and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Actz.
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 Treaty 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)
MIGRATORY BIRD INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN THIS SPECIES LIST WAS GENERATED.
PLEASE CONTACT THE FIELD OFFICE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
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
BCC 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

08/25/2023
E3
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

08/25/2023
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.

RE: Hall Tract
Dear Morgan Gilbert:
❑. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
NCNHDE-23121
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,
NC Natural Heritage Program
