REMARKS
Mr. Moose - we are submitting this Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) Request Package for the proposed
Royal Farms-Shallotte project, located in Shallotte, Brunswick County, North Carolina for scheduling and review. A PJD
was previously issued for a portion of this site on May 16, 2023 under Action ID # SAW-2023-01044. Additional workspace
has been added to the Project, and we are requesting reverification of Wetland 1. A field verification meeting did not take
place for the previous PJD.
Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Timothy O'Halloran at [e-mail] with any questions or comments
regarding this request.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration,

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
aI 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
review area.
✓❑ Size of Property or Review Area 3.2 acres.
❑✓ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

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:

Location description: This undeveloped 3.2-acre site is located at 2811 Ocean highway West in Shallotte, Brunswick County,
NC (Parcel IDs: 109810361592, 10981036246).
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
X There aDDear to be waters. including wetlands. on the above described Dronerty. 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 4 403). 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
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). 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.

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.
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 Morehead City, NC, at [phone] 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
Gary.H.BeecherAusace.army.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: N/A. An Approved JD has not been completed.
D. Remarks: A desk too revie was conducted on this PJD aoolication using information obtained from the consultant
(ECS) 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.

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:

Notes
Based on elevation models and aerial photographs, the ditch adjacent to Wetland 1 is an upland cut ditch and alters the hydrology of the wetlands.
The depth of ditching does not allow for natural hydrologic conditions, and alters overland flow severly. Additionally, there are no streams mapped
within the Project Study Area on the NRCS historic soil survey maps. The low rating for Wetland 1 should be used for Wetland Impact 1 and
Ditch Impact 1.

Reference: Biological Opinion Request — Royal Farms-Shallotte
2811 Ocean Highway West
Shallotte, Brunswick County, North Carolina
ECS Project Number 49-18975
Dear Mr. Ellis:
ECS Southeast, LLP (ECS) is pleased to provide the findings of the Threatened & Endangered Species Biological
Survey conducted for the above -referenced site.
Background Information
The Project Study Area (PSA) is located along Ocean Highway and US 17 in Shallotte, Brunswick County, North
Carolina. The PSA is identified as Brunswick County Parcel Identification Numbers 109810361592, 109810362460,
and a portion of 109810368521, totaling approximately 3.97 acres. The site currently consists of wooded land,
urban business development, and a single-family residence. ECS understands the proposed project includes the
development of a buildable pad for a convenience store and a second user such as a quick -service restaurant.
Desktop Assessment
ECS utilized the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information Planning and Consultation (IPaC) tool to
identify federally listed threatened and/or endangered species with potential to occur within the PSA or general
project vicinity. ECS also queried the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NC NHP) protected species
database for current and historic occurrence records of federally listed threatened and endangered species
documented within a one -mile radius of the PSA.
The USFWS IPaC tool identified thirteen species as having potential to occur onsite, which are listed in Table 1 of
this report. The NC NHP database identified no records of federally threatened or endangered species within a one -
mile radius of the PSA. However, occurrences of the Coppery Emerald (Somatochlora georgiana), American
alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), and Carolina Sunrose (Cocanthemum carolinianum) were observed within a 1-
mile radius of the PSA. The IPaC and NC NHP database reports are provided (See Attached).
Additional species- and site -specific details are reflected in Table 1 of this report and summarized in the narratives,
thereafter:

roost in trees, primarily among leaves of live or recently dead deciduous hardwood trees,
but are also found in Spanish moss, pine trees, and occasionally human structures. During
the winter, tricolored bats are often found in caves and abandoned mines.
Northern Long-eared bat
FE; SE Northern Long-eared bat (NLEB) spend winter hibernating in caves and mines. During the
Yes April 15 — September 15
Myotis septentrionalis
summer, NLEB roost singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of
both live and dead trees. This bat also been found, rarely, roosting in structures like barns
and sheds, under eaves of buildings, behind window shutters, in bridges, and in bat
houses.
Piping plover
FT; ST The piping plover nest most commonly where there is little or no vegetation, but some
No April — late- August
Charadrius melodus
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.
Red Knot
FT; ST Habitats used by red knots in migration and wintering areas are similar in character:
No May - September
Calidris canutus
coastal marine and estuarine habitats with large areas of exposed intertidal sediments.
Red knots are 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.
Red -Cockaded
FE; SE For nesting and roosting habitat, red -cockaded woodpeckers (RCW) need open stands of
No Year Round; November -

all the sea turtles that visit the North Carolina coast. They nest between May and
September, on isolated beaches that are characterized by fine-grained sediments. In near
shore areas, loggerheads have been observed in bays, lagoons, salt marshes, creeks,
ship channels, and mouths of large rivers. Coral reefs, rocky places, and shipwrecks are
often used as foraging areas.
Magnificent Ramshorn
FE; SE The snail is adapted to still or slow -flowing aquatic habitats, and lays eggs on spatterdock
No
Planorbella magnifica
and lily pads. Salinity and pH appear to have been major factors limiting the distribution of
the magnificent ramshorn, as the snail prefers freshwater bodies with pH within the range
of 6.8-7.5.

Species & Habitat Descriptions
Trimlnred Rat -
The tricolored bat is a small insectivorous bat that is distinguished by its unique tricolored fur and often appears
yellowish to nearly orange, typically dark at the base, lighter in the middle and dark at the tip. This species is typically
3-3.5 inches long and approximately 7-8 grams in weight.
During the spring, summer and fall (non -hibernating seasons), tricolored bats primarily roost among live and dead
leaf clusters of live or recently dead deciduous hardwood trees. In the southern and northern portions of the range,
tricolored bats will also roost in Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) and Usnea trichodea lichen, respectively. In
addition, tricolored bats have been observed roosting during summer among pine needles of various pine species
(Pinus spp.), eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), within artificial roosts like barns, beneath porch roofs,
bridges, concrete bunkers, and rarely within caves. Female tricolored bats return yearly to the same summer
roosting locations. Female tricolored bats form maternity colonies and switch roost trees regularly, while males roost
singly.
During the winter, tricolored bats hibernate in caves and mines. In the southern United States, where caves are
sparse, tricolored bats often hibernate in road -associated culverts and sometimes in tree cavities and abandoned
water wells. Tricolored bats exhibit high site fidelity with many individuals returning yearly to the same hibernaculum.
Northern Long-eared Bat:
The Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) is a medium sized bat approximately three to 3.7 inches in length with a
wingspan of nine to ten inches in length. The name comes from the characteristic long ears that distinguish this bat
species from other species of bats.
In North Carolina, the Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) occurs in the mountains, with scattered records in the
Piedmont and coastal plain. In western North Carolina, NLEB spend winter hibernating in caves and mines. Since
this species is not known to be a long-distance migrant, and caves and subterranean mines are extremely rare in
eastern North Carolina, it is uncertain whether or where NLEB hibernate in eastern North Carolina. During the
summer, NLEB roost singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dead trees
(typically >_3 inches dbh). Males and non -reproductive females may also roost in cooler places, like caves and
mines. This bat also been found, rarely, roosting in structures like barns and sheds, under eaves of buildings, behind
window shutters, in bridges, and in bat houses. Foraging occurs on forested hillsides and ridges, and occasionally
over forest clearings, over water, and along tree -lined corridors. Mature forests may be an important habitat type
for foraging.
Onsite Habitat Assessment
On October 3, 2023, ECS personnel conducted a habitat assessment within the PSA. ECS characterized habitat
within the PSA as mixed hardwood forest with a few pine trees and urban space. Species in the wooded areas
generally included slash pine (Pinus elliottii), sweet gum (Liquidamber styraciflua), water oak (Quercus palustris),
red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple (Acerrubrum), southern wax myrtle
(Morelia cerifera), and black tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica).
Potentially suitable habitat for piping plover, red knot, red -cockaded woodpecker, American alligator, green sea
turtle, Kemp's ridley sea turtle, leatherback sea turtle, loggerhead sea turtle, magnificent ramshorn, cooley's
meadowrue, and rough -leaved loosestrife was not observed within the PSA. Based on the findings of the onsite
habitat assessment, ECS concludes proposed project -related activities will have no effect to these eleven species.
Due to the lack of potentially suitable habitat for these species, ECS is requesting a "No Effect" determination
for these eleven species.
Potentially suitable habitat for the tricolored bat is present onsite within the forested portions of the PSA. Based on
the findings of the onsite habitat assessment, the proposed project may affect potential tricolored bat habitat if tree
clearing is required. Due to potential onsite habitat, ECS is requesting a "May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely
Affect" determination for tricolored bat.

Biological Opinion Request
Royal Farms-Shallotte — 2811 Ocean Highway West, Shallotte, North Carolina
ECS Project No. 49-18975
Potentially suitable habitat for northern long-eared bat was not observed within the PSA. The PSA consists of
wooded land and urban buildings. The PSA was examined during the site reconnaissance for potential roost trees.
The PSA contains a mix of deciduous and pine trees. No recently dead deciduous or pine trees or snags were
noted. Based upon site observations, suitable habitat for the NLEB is not present within the PSA. In addition, based
upon the USFWS expanded guidance on suitable habitat released with the new determination key, the attached
letter was generated which reached the conclusion of "May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect" determination
with the attached concurrence letter generated from IPaC. Based upon the IPaC submission and a standing
analysis, the project is not certain to cause incidental take of the northern long-eared bat. Unless the Service advises
within 15 days of the date of this letter, dated October 16, 2023, that the IPaC-assisted determination was incorrect,
this letter verifies that the Action is not likely to result in unauthorized take of the northern long-eared bat.
Closure
Based on the results of the onsite habitat assessment and botanical survey, ECS believes the proposed project will
have no effect on piping plover, red knot, red -cockaded woodpecker, American alligator, green sea turtle, Kemp's
ridley sea turtle, leatherback sea turtle, loggerhead sea turtle, magnificent ramshorn, cooley's meadowrue, and
rough -leaved loosestrife, and is requesting a "No Effect" determination from the USFWS for these eleven species.
ECS believes the proposed project will have minimal effect on the tricolored bat and northern long-eared bat and is
requesting a "May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect" determination.
Should you have any questions or require any additional information in support of these findings, please do not

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

09/29/2023
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.

09/29/2023
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.

Project code: 2024-0005292
Project Name: Royal Farms - Shallotte
Federal Nexus: yes
Federal Action Agency (if applicable): Army Corps of Engineers
Subject: Technical assistance for'Royal Farms - Shallotte'
Dear Timothy O'Halloran:
October 16, 2023
This letter records your determination using the Information for Planning and Consultation
(IPaC) system provided to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on October 16, 2023, for
'Royal Farms - Shallotte' (here forward, Project). This project has been assigned Project Code
2024-0005292 and all future correspondence should clearly reference this number. Please
carefully review this letter. Your Endangered Species Act (Act) requirements are not
complete.
Ensuring Accurate Determinations When Using IPaC
The Service developed the IPaC system and associated species' determination keys in accordance
with the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 87 Stat. 884, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.) and based on a standing analysis. All information submitted by the Project proponent into
IPaC must accurately represent the full scope and details of the Project.
Failure to accurately represent or implement the Project as detailed in IPaC or the Northern
Long-eared Bat Rangewide Determination Key (Dkey), invalidates this letter. Answers to certain
questions in the DKey commit the project proponent to implementation of conservation
measures that must be followed for the ESA determination to remain valid.
Determination for the Northern Long -Eared Bat
Based upon your IPaC submission and a standing analysis, your project is not reasonably certain
to cause incidental take of the northern long-eared bat. Unless the Service advises you within 15
days of the date of this letter that your IPaC-assisted determination was incorrect, this letter
verifies that the Action is not likely to result in unauthorized take of the northern long-eared bat.

10/16/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 507-133333626 2
Other Species and Critical Habitat that May be Present in the Action Area
The IPaC-assisted determination for the northern long-eared bat does not apply to the following
ESA -protected species and/or critical habitat that also may occur in your Action area:
■ American Alligator Alligator mississippiensis Similarity of Appearance (Threatened)
• Cooley's Meadowrue Thalictrum cooleyi Endangered
■ Green Sea Turtle Chelonia mydas Threatened
■ Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle Lepidochelys kempii Endangered
• Leatherback Sea Turtle Dermochelys coriacea Endangered
■ Loggerhead Sea Turtle Caretta caretta Threatened
■ Magnificent Ramshorn Planorbella magni fica Endangered
■ Monarch Butterfly Danaus plexippus Candidate
■ Piping Plover Charadrius melodus Threatened
■ Red Knot Calidris canutus rufa Threatened
• Red -cockaded Woodpecker Picoides borealis Endangered
■ Rough -leaved Loosestrife Lysimachia asperulaefolia Endangered
• Tricolored Bat Perimyotis sub flavus Proposed Endangered
You may coordinate with our Office to determine whether the Action may cause prohibited take
of the animal species listed above. Note that if a new species is listed that may be affected by the
identified action before it is complete, additional review is recommended to ensure compliance
with the Endangered Species Act.
Next Step
Consultation with the Service is necessary. The project has a federal nexus (e.g., Federal funds,
permit, etc.), but you are not the federal action agency or its designated (in writing) non-federal
representative. Therefore, the ESA consultation status is incomplete and no project activities
should occur until consultation between the Service and the Federal action agency (or designated
non-federal representative), is completed.
As the federal agency or designated non-federal representative deems appropriate, they should
submit their determination of effects to the Service by doing the following.
1. Log into IPaC using an agency email account and click on My Projects, click "Search by
record locator" to find this Project using 507-133333626. (Alternatively, the originator of
the project in IPaC can add the agency representative to the project by using the Add
Member button on the project home page.)
2. Review the answers to the Northern Long-eared Bat Range -wide Determination Key to
ensure that they are accurate.
3. Click on Review/Finalize to convert the `not likely to adversely affect' consistency letter to
a concurrence letter. Download the concurrence letter for your files if needed.

10/16/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 507-133333626
If no changes occur with the Project or there are no updates on listed species, no further
consultation/coordination for this project is required for the northern long-eared bat. However,
the Service recommends that project proponents re-evaluate the Project in IPaC if: 1) the scope,
timing, duration, or location of the Project changes (includes any project changes or
amendments); 2) new information reveals the Project may impact (positively or negatively)
federally listed species or designated critical habitat; or 3) a new species is listed, or critical
habitat designated. If any of the above conditions occurs, additional coordination with the
Service should take place before project implements any changes which are final or commits
additional resources.
If you have any questions regarding this letter or need further assistance, please contact the
Raleigh Ecological Services Field Office and reference Project Code 2024-0005292 associated
with this Project.

10/16/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 507-133333626
DETERMINATION KEY RESULT
Based on the answers provided, the proposed Action is consistent with a determination of "may
affect, but not likely to adversely affect" for the Endangered northern long-eared bat (Myotis
septentrionalis).
QUALIFICATION INTERVIEW
1. Does the proposed project include, or is it reasonably certain to cause, intentional take of
the northern long-eared bat or any other listed species?
Note: Intentional take is defined as take that is the intended result of a project. Intentional take could refer to
research, direct species management, surveys, and/or studies that include intentional handling/encountering,
harassment, collection, or capturing of any individual of a federally listed threatened, endangered or proposed
species?
No
2. Your project overlaps with an area where northern long-eared bats may be present year-
round. Time -of -year restrictions may not be appropriate for your project due to bats being
active all year.
Do you understand that your project may impact bats at any time during the year and time -
of -year restrictions may not apply to your project?
Yes
3. The action area does not overlap with an area for which U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
currently has data to support the presumption that the northern long-eared bat is present.
Are you aware of other data that indicates that northern long-eared bats (NLEB) are likely
to be present in the action area?
Bat occurrence data may include identification of NLEBs in hibernacula, capture of
NLEBs, tracking of NLEBs to roost trees, or confirmed NLEB acoustic detections. Data
on captures, roost tree use, and acoustic detections should post-date the year when white -
nose syndrome was detected in the relevant state. With this question, we are looking for
data that, for some reason, may have not yet been made available to U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service.
No
4. Does any component of the action involve construction or operation of wind turbines?
Note: For federal actions, answer `yes' if the construction or operation of wind power facilities is either (1) part
of the federal action or (2) would not occur but for a federal agency action (federal permit, funding, etc.).
No

10/16/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 507-133333626
5. Is the proposed action authorized, permitted, licensed, funded, or being carried out by a
Federal agency in whole or in part?
Yes
6. Is the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA),
or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding or authorizing the proposed action, in
whole or in part?
No
7. Are you an employee of the federal action agency or have you been officially designated in
writing by the agency as its designated non-federal representative for the purposes of
Endangered Species Act Section 7 informal consultation per 50 CFR § 402.08?
Note: This key may be used for federal actions and for non-federal actions to facilitate section 7 consultation and
to help determine whether an incidental take permit may be needed, respectively. This question is for information
purposes only.
No
8. Is the lead federal action agency the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)? Is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) funding or authorizing the proposed action,
in whole or in part?
No
9. Is the lead federal action agency the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)?
No

10/16/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 507-133333626
10. Have you determined that your proposed action will have no effect on the northern long-
eared bat? Remember to consider the effects of anv activities that would not occur but for
the proposed action.
If you think that the northern long-eared bat may be affected by your project or if you
would like assistance in deciding, answer "No" below and continue through the key. If you
have determined that the northern long-eared bat does not occur in your project's action
area and/or that your project will have no effects whatsoever on the species despite the
potential for it to occur in the action area, you may make a "no effect" determination for
the northern long-eared bat.
Note: Federal agencies (or their designated non-federal representatives) must consult with USFWS on federal
agency actions that may affect listed species [50 CFR 402.14(a)]. Consultation is not required for actions that will
not affect listed species or critical habitat. Therefore, this determination key will not provide a consistency or
verification letter for actions that will not affect listed species. If you believe that the northern long-eared bat may
be affected by your project or if you would like assistance in deciding, please answer "No" and continue through
the key. Remember that this key addresses only effects to the northern long-eared bat. Consultation with USFWS
would be required if your action may affect another listed species or critical habitat. The definition of Effects of
the Action can be found here: https://www.fws.gov/media/northern-long-eared-bat-assisted-determination-key
selected -definitions
No
11. Your project overlaps with an area where northern long-eared bats may be present year-
round.
Is suitable northern long-eared bat habitat present within 1000 feet of project activities?
Yes
12. Will the action cause effects to a bridge?
No
13. Will the action result in effects to a culvert or tunnel?
No
14. Does the action include the intentional exclusion of northern long-eared bats from a
building or structure?
Note: Exclusion is conducted to deny bats' entry or reentry into a building. To be effective and to avoid harming
bats, it should be done according to established standards. If your action includes bat exclusion and you are
unsure whether northern long-eared bats are present, answer "Yes." Answer "No" if there are no signs of bat use
in the building/structure. If unsure, contact your local U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Ecological Services Field
Office to help assess whether northern long-eared bats may be present. Contact a Nuisance Wildlife Control
Operator (NWCO) for help in how to exclude bats from a structure safely without causing harm to the bats (to
find a NWCO certified in bat standards, search the Internet using the search term "National Wildlife Control
Operators Association bats"). Also see the White -Nose Syndrome Response Team's guide for bat control in
structures
No

10/16/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 507-133333626 8
15. Does the action involve removal, modification, or maintenance of a human -made structure
(barn, house, or other building) known or suspected to contain roosting bats?
No
16. Will the action cause construction of one or more new roads open to the public?
For federal actions, answer `yes' when the construction or operation of these facilities is
either (1) part of the federal action or (2) would not occur but for an action taken by a
federal agency (federal permit, funding, etc.).
No
17. Will the action include or cause any construction or other activity that is reasonably certain
to increase average daily traffic on one or more existing roads?
Note: For federal actions, answer `yes' when the construction or operation of these facilities is either (1) part of
the federal action or (2) would not occur but for an action taken by a federal agency (federal permit, funding,
etc.). .
No
18. Will the action include or cause any construction or other activity that is reasonably certain
to increase the number of travel lanes on an existing thoroughfare?
For federal actions, answer `yes' when the construction or operation of these facilities is
either (1) part of the federal action or (2) would not occur but for an action taken by a
federal agency (federal permit, funding, etc.).
No
19. Will the proposed action involve the creation of a new water -borne contaminant source
(e.g., leachate pond pits containing chemicals that are not NSF/ANSI 60 compliant)?
No
20. Will the proposed action involve the creation of a new point source discharge from a
facility other than a water treatment plant or storm water system?
No
21. Will the action include drilling or blasting?
No
22. Will the action involve military training (e.g., smoke operations, obscurant operations,
exploding munitions, artillery fire, range use, helicopter or fixed wing aircraft use)?

within 1000 feet of suitable northern long-eared bat roosting habitat?
Note: Additional information defining suitable roosting habitat for the northern long-eared bat can be found at:
https://www. fws. gov/media/northem-long-eared-bat-assisted-determination-key-selected-definitions
Yes
26. Will the action use only downward -facing, full cut-off lens lights (with same intensity or
less for replacement lighting)
when installing new or replacing existing permanent lights? Or for those transportation
agencies using the Backlight, Uplight, Glare (BUG) system developed by the Illuminating
Engineering Society, will all three ratings (backlight, uplight, and glare) be as close to zero
as is possible, with a priority of "uplight" of 0?
No
27. Will the proposed action result in the cutting or other means of knocking down, bringing

RE: Refuel Market-Shallotte; 49:18975-F
Dear Michelle Measday:
D. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Micky Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
N CN H D E-23481
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally -
listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact the NCNHP at natural.heritage(a)dncr.nc.gov.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

Dear Ms. Gledhill -Earley,
ECS Southeast, LLP (ECS) is pleased to submit this letter request for North Carolina Historic Preservation
Office (HPO) review of the subject property pursuant to National Historic Preservation Act Section 106 and
North Carolina General Statute 121-12(a).
PROJECT INFORMATION
The Project Study Area (PSA) is located at 2811 Ocean Highway West in Shallotte, Brunswick County,
North Carolina. The PSA is identified as Brunswick County Parcel Identification Numbers 109810361592,
109810362460, and a portion of 109810368521, totaling approximately 3.14 acres. The site currently
consists of wooded land, urban business development, and a single-family residence.
ECS reviewed the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS database HPOWEB, for
records of historic resources in the general PSA vicinity. Based on the HPOWEB database, the PSA does
not contain any historical resources. One historic resource, identified as "BW0415 Chapel Hill Cemetery)
Lewhew Cemetery) 2010" is located approximately 810 feet northeast of the PSA. No additional resources
were identified within a 1500-foot radius of the PSA. A map depicting the feature identified on the HPOWEB
GIS database is attached.
ECS conducted a site reconnaissance, on October 3, 2023, to document and photograph existing site
conditions. Photographs of existing site conditions are included in the attached photograph log. Based on
observations made during the site reconnaissance, ECS does not believe the proposed project will impact
historic architectural or cultural resources. ECS understands the proposed project includes the
development of a buildable pad for a convenience store and a second user such as a quick -service
restaurant.
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Mr.
Timothy O'Halloran at [e-mail] or [phone].
