Stream, wetland, or pond impacts are still subject to applicable water quality standards and permitting requirements. Explanation: The stream(s)/pond(s) listed above has been located on the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey of Wake County, North Carolina and/or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map at a 1: 24,000 scale. Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined to not be an intermittent stream, perennial stream, a pond connected to a stream feature, or the feature is determined not to be present. Stream features that are checked "Subject" have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify it to be subject to the buffer rules. There may be other streams located on the property that do not show up on the maps referenced above and are therefore not subject to the buffer rules. However, if the stream features are present on the tract they are subject to all other applicable North Carolina stream standards and permitting requirements as outlined in 15A NCAC 02B and may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers. This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter.

Version: May 2017 Page 3 Jurisdictional Determination Request F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One) ZI am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property. PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is "preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do not expire. ❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years (subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05- 02). ❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information to inform my decision. G. ALL REQUESTS Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the I I review area. ✓� Size of Property or Review Area 21.07 acres. ❑✓ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

Please include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non jurisdictional (i.e. "Isolated", "No Significant Nexus", or "Upland Feature"). Please include the acreage or linear length of these features as appropriate. For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations: Wetland and non -wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404, Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non -wetland Waters of the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and linear length of these features as appropriate.

Wetland Section 404 1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate. 2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre - construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.

The property is located at 12421 Victory Church Road in Wake County, NC. Surface waters on - site flow into Upper Barton Creek in the Neuse River Basin, which has been classified in the "Classification and NC DWQ Standards Applicable to Surface Waters and Wetlands of North Carolina" as WS-IV; NSW. We obtained the attached automatically generated official species list from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) and N.C. Natural Heritage Program (NHP) report identifying the protected species on or within one mile of the project area that could potentially be affected by the project. These FWS & NHP reports were updated as of the date of this report. The official species list is valid for 90 days. We conducted preliminary habitat assessments to identify suitable habitat for the individual species listed on the official species list. Detailed botanical surveys were conducted within the optimal survey windows for the listed plant species. The preliminary habitat assessments included assessing the physical characteristics of the streams, identifying forest types, and looking for evidence of the listed species on - site. This survey did not include any detailed sampling or netting of aquatic species, nor did it include any detailed mist netting or acoustic surveys for bat species. The results of the search are discussed below. Peyton Estates - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 1 of 5 August 21, 2023 S&EC Project #10474.W5 RESULTS: The FWS official species list identified the following species for the Evaluation limits: • Tricolored Bat, (Perimyotis subflavus), Proposed Endangered • Red -cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Endangered • Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisl), Threatened • Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus), Endangered • Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus), Candidate • Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxil), Endangered Of the species identified on the official species list, the NHP report did not identify any Federally threatened or endangered species within the project area or within one mile of the project area. Other State listed species were found within the project area as listed in the attached NHP report. The NHP report identified one managed area within the project area. These are listed out in the attached NHP Report. TRICOLORED BAT (Perimyotis subflavus): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of potential suitable habitat for the Tricolored Bat's within the project area. Relying upon the findings of the December 2021 Species Status Assessment (SSA) Report for the Tricolored Bat. S&EC identified recently vacant structures that had no evidence of the presence of the Tricolored Bat. S&EC did not identify any culverts on -site or within adjacent ROW large enough to be considered roosting habitat. Due to the nature of the project being residential development, which will include tree removal, we concluded that the prcj ect would "not likely to jeopardize the existence of the species" for TCB's. RED -COCKADED WOODPECKER (Picoides borealis): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of potential suitable habitat (foraging and cavity trees) for Red -cockaded Woodpeckers (RCWs) within the project area. During our evaluation, we found no evidence of individual RCWs within the project area. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project area or within one mile of the site. We found no ideal suitable habitat (e.g., Long Leaf pine forests) within the project area. Given the lack of suitable habitat, we concluded that the project would have "No effect' on RCWs. Peyton Estates - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 2 of 5 August 21, 2023 S&EC Project #10474.W5 NEUSE RIVER WATERDOG (Necturus lewisal: S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on -site for potential suitable habitat for the Neuse River Waterdog. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project area or within one mile of the site. This species is found in the Neuse River and Tar River basins. The suitable habitat this species is found in is typically medium to large streams and rivers with a moderate gradient and large bed material. The Neuse River Waterdog also needs riffles, runs, and pools. While we did not specifically sample for the species, we also did not find any evidence of the species while conducting our preliminary surveys of the streams for potential suitable habitat. Our preliminary survey concluded that potential suitable habitat does not exist on -site. The intermittent streams were +/-4 feet wide with low to no baseflow and had a sandy rocky substrate. Due to these observations, we have concluded that the project would have "No effect' on the Neuse River Waterdog. CAROLINA MADTOM (Noturus furiosus): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of the streams on -site for potential suitable habitat for the Carolina Madtom. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrence within the project area or within one mile of the site. This species is found in the Neuse River and Tar River basins. The suitable habitat this species is found in is also medium to large streams and rivers with a moderate gradient and large bed material. The Carolina Madtom also needs continuous year-round flow and cover for nesting habitat. While we did not specifically sample for the species, we also did not find any evidence of the species while conducting our preliminary surveys of the streams for potential suitable habitat. Our preliminary survey concluded that potential suitable habitat does not exist on -site. The intermittent streams were +/-4 feet wide with low to no baseflow and had a sandy rocky substrate. Due to these observations, we have concluded that the project would have "No effect" on the Carolina Madtom. MONARCH BUTTERFLY (Danaus plexippus): The Monarch Butterfly is currently listed as a candidate species, and not yet listed or proposed for listing as threatened or endangered. Due to the current status of Monarch Butterfly, consultation with Peyton Estates - S&EC Threatened & Endangered Species Report Page 3 of 5 August 21, 2023 S&EC Project #10474.W5 USFWS under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act is not required. FWS recommends conserving pollinator habitat where practicable. NHCHAUX'S SUMAC (Rhus michauxia): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of suitable habitat within the project area. We visited a known population of Michaux's sumac within Wake County prior to conducting our preliminary surveys. We found no individual Michaux's Sumac species within the project area. The NHP report did not list any known elemental occurrences within the project area. We found suitable habitat within the project areas to include primarily disturbed open areas along roads and paths. Given the lack of species present within the property boundaries, we concluded that the project would have "No effect" on Michaux's sumac. BALD EAGLE (Haliaeetus leucocephalus): S&EC personnel conducted preliminary surveys of suitable habitat, nesting sites, and individual Bald Eagles within the project area. During our survey, we found no evidence of Bald Eagles or any nesting sites within the project area. The NHP report did not identify any known nests on -site or within one mile of the site. Given the lack of species present, we have concluded that the project is "Unlikely to disturb nesting bald eagles. " We believe no Eagle Act Permit is required. CONCLUSION: After completing the habitat assessments and preliminary surveys, S&EC completed the attached "Species Conclusion Table" and "Self -Certification Letter." Using language typically used by the FWS in their conclusion letters, we have concluded that it appears the proposed project is not likely to adversely affect any federally listed endangered or threatened species, their formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). We strongly recommend requesting a concurrence letter from the FWS.

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 08/04/2023 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. 08/04/2023 3 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.

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. 08/04/2023 3 How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25. 2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. 3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. Breeding Season( ) Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort (1) Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. No Data (—) A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse. ■ probability of presence breeding season I survey effort — no data SPECIES JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL IA IUG SEPy OCTyy yyNOV DEC Bald Eagle Non -BCC Vulnerable Black -billed Cuckoo ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++TTT i ITT TTTT 1111 �+++ ++++ ++++ ++++ Cuckoo 08/04/2023 4 BCC Rangewide (CON) Chimney Swift BCC Rangewide 7TT TT111111 loll 1111 ur ++++ ++++ (CON) Eastern Whip -Poor - will +++ I 1111 1++++**1 1111 1111 11 11 I I I I I f++ ++++ ++++ ++++ BCC Rangewide (CON) Kentucky ++++ +� �+ ++++ ++� I I I I I I I I 11 I I I�++++ I+++ 1 BCC Rangewide (CON) Prairie Warbler BCC Rangewide (CON) — Prothonotary ++++ Warbler ++++ ++++ I I I' I ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ BCC Rangewide (CON) yy yy Red-headed ++� Woodpecker ++++ +�++ ++ I I I I �+, ++++ I 10+ I • BCC Rangewide (CON) Rusty Blackbird BCC -BCR ++++ T+++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++++ ++T+ ++++ Wood Thrush BCC Rangewide ++++ ++++ ++++ 01T �ii 011, *+++ 0+00 00++ ++++ ++++ (CON) Additional information can be found using the following links: • Birds of Conservation Concern https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-birds/species • Measures for avoiding and minimizing impacts to birds https://www.fws.gov/library collections/avoidins7-and-minimizins7-incidental-take-mis7ratorv-birds • Nationwide conservation measures for birds https://www.fws.gov/sites/default/files/ documents/nationwide-standard-conservation-measures.pdf 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 08/04/2023 5 may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCQ and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development. Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information Locator (RAIL)Tool. What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets. Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and 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); 08/04/2023 6 2. 'BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and 3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing). Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Lorin. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, 08/04/2023 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. 08/04/2023 E3 IPAC USER CONTACT INFORMATION Agency: Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA Name: Mason Montgomery Address: 8412 Falls of Neuse Road Address Line 2: Suite 104 City: Raleigh State: NC Zip: 27615 Email mmontgomery@sandec.com Phone: 7047732837 Roy Cooper, Governor 9" 0 INC DEPARTMENT OF ""i ■ WMk.M 1 NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES ■-000 August 4, 2023 Robert Zarzecki Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA 8412 Falls of Neuse Road, Suite 104 Raleigh, NC 27615 RE: Victory Church Road Subdivision; 10474.W5 Dear Robert Zarzecki: 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.
