Dear Walter,
Reference is made to ORM ID SAW-2023-01042, please reference this number on any correspondence
regarding this action.
On June 14, 2023, we met off Old Fairground Road, Angier NC, Johnston County to review the boundaries of
the aquatic resources delineation you submitted on May 15, 2023.
We have reviewed the information provided by you concerning the aquatic resources, and by copy of this e-
mail, are confirming that the aquatic resources delineation has been verified by the Corps to be a sufficiently
accurate and reliable representation of the location and extent of aquatic resources within the identified review
area. The location and extent of these aquatic resources are shown on the delineation map, labeled `Wetland
Delineation Exhibit", and dated "April 2023".
Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL) 16-01
htips://usace.contentdm.ocic.or_/ug tils/getfile/collection/pl602lco119/id/1256 provides guidance for
Jurisdictional Determinations (JD) and states "The Corps generally does not issue a JD of any type where no JD
has been requested". At this time we are only verifying the delineation. This delineation may be relied upon
for use in the uermit evaluation brocess. including determining comuensatory mitigation. "This
verification does not address nor include any consideration for geographic jurisdiction on aquatic resources and
shall not be interpreted as such.
This delineation verification is not an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) and is not an appealable
action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (33 CFR Part 331).

October 13, 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
10/13/2023
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/default/files/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.
10/13/2023
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 6 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
Fisheries1, 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.

RE: Fairgrounds Road Site
Dear Ashley Bentz:
D. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deperty Director, Na4vral Heritage Program
N CN H D E-23624
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is documented within the project area or indicated within a one -mile
radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.gov/offices/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 the NCNHP at natural.heritage�)dncr.nc.gov.

Explanation: The feature(s) listed above that are checked "Subject" to the Johnston County Neuse
Riparian Buffer Ordinance (Section 14-393 Johnston County Code of Ordinances) has or have been
approximately shown on either the Soil Survey of Johnston County, North Carolina (1994) or the most
recent version of the 1:24,000 (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic maps prepared by the United States
Geologic Survey (USGS), and have been located on the property and possess characteristics that qualify
it to be a stream. Each feature that is checked "Not Subject" has been determined not to be a stream or is
not present on the property. There may be other streams located on your property that do not show up on
the maps referenced above but still may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of
Engineers and/or the North Carolina Division of Water Resources.
This on -site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or
affected parties that dispute a determination made by Johnston County may request a
determination by the Director of the Division of Water Resources c/o the 401 and Buffer Permitting
Unit, or its successor. An appeal request must be made within sixty (60) days of the date of this
letter or from the date the affected party (including downstream and/or adjacent owners) is notified
of this letter. A request for a determination by the Director must be submitted in writing with a
copy of this letter to:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
401 & Buffer Permitting Unit
1650 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1650
This determination is final and binding unless, as detailed above, a request for an appeal has been
made in writing within sixty (60) days.
The owner/future owners should notify the Division of Water Resources (including any Local,
State, and Federal Agencies) of this decision concerning any future correspondences regarding the
subject property (stated above). This project may require a Section 404/401 Permit for the
proposed activity. Any inquiries should be directed to the US Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh
Regulatory Field Office at (919) 554-4884 and the Division of Water Resources 401 & Buffer
Permitting Unit at (919) 791-4200.
If you have any questions regarding this determination, please feel free to contact Charles Pender at (919)
