Indicate Which of the Following Apply: A. Preliminary Determination ❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/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. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. 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 project area/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 over all 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, including wetlands on your project area/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 project area/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, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the 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, including wetlands on your project area/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, including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 1/17/2020. We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once SAW-2020-01047 verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years. ❑ The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the 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 project area/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 the 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 (LAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at (252) 808-2808 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 James Lastinger at 919-554-4884 ext 32 or James.C.Lastinger(&usace.armv.mil. C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the approved jurisdictional determination form (interim) NWPR dated 08/31/2020. D. Remarks: None. E. Attention USDA Program Participants This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

Timmons Group submitted a request for Chatham County to complete a formal review to determine if the features would be subject to riparian buffers according to Section 304 of the Chatham County Watershed Protection Ordinance. All points of origin, stream type transitions, and wetland boundaries were reviewed in the field. Required Riparian Buffers: The required riparian buffers described below are based on the surface water features identified on the included Figure 6 and its associated table, completed by Timmons Group. The ephemeral streams will require a 30-ft buffer from the top of bank landward. The intermittent streams will require a 50-ft buffer from the top of bank landward on both sides of the feature. The perennial streams will require a 100-ft buffer from the top of bank landward on both sides of the feature. The wetland boundaries flagged in the field by Timmons Group have been reviewed and confirmed by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). A 50-ft buffer will be required beginning at the flagged boundary and proceeding landward of any flagged wetlands determined jurisdictional by the USACE. Eight (8) of the eleven (11) wetlands identified on the property were deemed non -jurisdictional by the USACE. Per Section 304 (A) of the Chatham County Watershed Protection Ordinance, non -jurisdictional wetlands will require a 50-ft buffer from the flagged boundary. Impacts to Riparian Buffers: Impacts to the riparian buffers may require a Riparian Buffer Authorization depending on the size and scope of the impacts. Please refer to Section 304 (J) of the Chatham County Watershed Protection Ordinance to determine if your impacts will require a Riparian Buffer Authorization. If you determine that a Riparian Buffer Authorization is required please contact Drew Blake to receive the required application and submittal instructions.

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.). 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 IPaC 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 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 Project code: 2023-0102300 03/15/2024 14:06:21 UTC 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/ endan ered-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 Migratory Bird Permit I What We Do I U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (fws.gov). 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. ov/partner/council-conservation- mi ratory-birds. We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit to our office.

Reid Wilson, Secretary Misty Buchanan Deputy DirectDr, Natural Heritage Program NCNHDE-25307 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: 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.

Box 33726 Raleigh, NC 27636-3726 October 23, 2023 Re: Online Project Review Request, Savannah Ridge, Chatham County, North Carolina Dear Mr. Benjamin, We have reviewed the referenced project using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) Eastern North Carolina Ecological Services Field Office's online project review process and are submitting our project review package in accordance with the instructions for your review. The location of the project and the action area (also referred to as the Site) are identified on the enclosed maps in Appendix C, showing the most recent USGS topographic map (Figure 1), aerial imagery (Figure 2), and Wetlands and Waters of the U.S. map (Figure 3). Previous consultation for this Site was completed in 2020 (lPaC Consultation Code 04EN200- 2020-SLI-1433, Event Code 04EN2000-2020-E-03271), with an initial review request sent on July 9, 2020 and concurrence of opinion received from John Ellis of the USFWS via email on August 5, 2020. Due to the time that has passed since initial consultation we are requesting re - consultation of this project. Although species were re -assessed, opinions for red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Cape Fear shiner (Notropis mekistocholas), Harperella (Ptilimnium nodosum), bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) remain consistent with our previous determinations. This new review also includes assessment of proposed endangered tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus), and candidate species Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus). Site Description The Site is located within the Piedmont Physiographic Province and encompasses approximately 151.5 acres in Moncure, North Carolina within Chatham County. The majority of the Site consists of pine plantation used for silviculture with smaller areas of hardwood forests throughout. Additionally, there are multiple earthen roads that run throughout the Site. The Site is bound by Jordan Dam Road and forested areas to the north; by Moncure School Road, private residences, forested areas, and Moncure School to the east; by forested areas and US-1 to the south; and by forested areas, current construction, and Jordan Dam Road to the west. The Site is located within the Rocky Branch -Deep River (Hydrologic Unit Code [HUC] 030300030608) and Shaddox Creek -Haw River (HUC 030300020705) subwatersheds of the Cape Fear River Basin. The Site generally drains to the center of the project site to an unnamed tributary to the Deep River and then southerly to the Deep River, which has a NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) Stream Index Number of 17-(43.5) and a Stream Classification of WS- IV. Proposed Project Our proposed action consists of a conventional subdivision that will help address the increasing housing needs of central North Carolina while preserving Chatham County's rural character. The total project area is approximately 151.5 acres that will include 78 single-family homes, mail kiosks, and associated infrastructure. Development is anticipated to include the construction of road crossings, utility connections, and grading. The proposed impacts to wetlands and streams onsite are anticipated to be minimal and limited to one stream crossing necessary to install utility connections, road crossings, and grading (where required). The project is expected to be completed over several years. Construction is anticipated to take place between late 2023 into 2024, potentially through 2024 and 2025. This project review is being completed as part of client due diligence in the preliminary planning and design phases of the proposed project. This project review will be used as needed as supplement to anticipated U.S. Army Corps of Engineers consultation for use of a Nationwide Permit due to impacts to jurisdictional waters if impacts to jurisdictional features are proposed. Species Evaluation The official USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaQ species report for the Site requested on October 23, 2023, (Project Code: 2023-0102300) identified three federally listed endangered species, including red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Cape Fear shiner (Notropis mekistocholas), and harperella (Ptilimnium nodosum) as potentially occurring within the vicinity of the Site. No federally listed threatened species were identified as potentially occurring within the vicinity of the Site. Additionally, one proposed endangered species, the tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus), and one candidate species, the monarch butterfly (Manaus plexippus), were identified as potentially occurring in the vicinity of the Site. Critical habitat was not identified within the project area under the Eastern North Carolina Ecological Services Field Office's jurisdiction. Additionally, per the instructions of the Eastern North Carolina Ecological Services Field Office's Project Review Steps, Timmons personnel assessed the potential for impacts to the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database report (NCNHDE-22565) was requested on October 23, 2023. No federally protected species were identified as occurring within the project area. Cape Fear shiner was noted within a 1-mile radius of the project area in 2021 and harperella was noted within a 1-mile radius of the project area in 1971. Further, no critical habitat was identified within the Site or a 1-mile radius. On October 3, 2023, Timmons Group conducted a suitable habitat assessment for federally listed species, species proposed for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), candidate species, and bald eagle within the Site. Effects to Critical Habitat There is no critical habitat located within the Site boundaries or a 1-mile radius. Effects to Federally Endangered Species Red -cockaded Woodpecker In the Piedmont of North Carolina, red -cockaded woodpecker (RCW) requires open pine woodlands and savannahs with large mature pines for nesting, roosting, and foraging habitat. Longleaf, loblolly, pond, slash, and shortleaf pine trees that are older (60 years or more) and have a minimum 10-inch diameter at breast height (dbh) are preferred cavity trees. Nesting and roosting pine trees are typically found in open stands with little or no hardwood mid -story and few or no overstory hardwoods. RCWs will abandon otherwise suitable nesting/roosting areas when the mid -story approaches cavity height; therefore, midstory height should generally be less than 12 feet. Ideally there should be enough suitable cavity trees for the entire family group to roost year-round. Territory size for clusters of RCW groups ranges from 75 to 500 acres in size. Suitable foraging habitat generally consists of greater than 50% mature pines (30 years in age or older and equal to or greater than [>] 8 inches dbh) in an open canopy, less densities of small pines, little or no hardwood or pine mid -story, few or no overstory hardwoods, and abundant native bunchgrasses and forb groundcovers. Foraging habitat should be within 0.5 miles of nesting habitat. RCW eat a wide variety of insects, and their eggs and larvae, found in or on pine trees. They prefer larger, older pines for foraging and find their prey by flaking away and probing under pine bark but will use hardwoods. To a lesser extent, they also eat fruits for seeds from species, including pines (Pinus spp.), poison ivy (Rhus radicans), magnolia (Magnolia spp.), wax myrtle (Myrica spp.), wild cherry (Prunus serotina), wild grape (Vitus spp.), blueberry (Vaccinum spp.) and blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica). Forested areas compose approximately 90% of the Site and include a majority of planted pine forests with some mature hardwood forests throughout. The mature pine forest contains loblolly pine trees that are 20-25 years old, with a low to moderately dense understory. The planted pine areas make up approximately 140 acres in size. The mature hardwood forest is comprised of sweetgum (Liquidambar styracifZua) and tulip -poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) with a moderately dense understory. Additionally, occurrences of RCW and cavity trees were not observed within the project area or noted in the NCNHP database report. The Site is not located within a consultation area and the closest known population of RCW is approximately 10 miles to the east of the project area within eastern Chatham County according to the RCW Consultation Area Map shown in Appendix A of the RCW SLOPES manual. Therefore, relying on the SLOPES guidelines and guidance from the USFWS, location of the project outside of the RCW SLOPES consultation area, stand age, and the low to moderately dense understory around the mature pine trees on the Site, the proposed project will have no effect on the red -cockaded woodpecker. Cape Fear Shiner The species is most often found in rocky pools and runs adjacent to riffles in wide, shallow segments of rivers with gravel, cobble and/or boulder substrates with forested banks and abundant water willow (Justicia), riverweed (Podostemum), stream mosses (Fontinalis), and filamentous green algae, which it uses for cover. Streams with flatter gradients and sand/silt dominated substrata are less suitable habitat for the Cape Fear shiner, but these areas may be used to move between rocky sections of the stream. The Cape Fear shiner feeds mostly on detritus, algae and plant material, and small invertebrates. Juveniles can be found inhabiting slackwater, among large rock outcrops and in flooded side channels and pools. Spawning occurs May through June, when water temperatures reach 66 degrees Fahrenheit. The ecology of the species indicates that during times of high water, it may travel upstream in tributaries as far as approximately 1,650 feet from the larger waterbody. During the site inspection, the majority of the streams throughout the site were observed to be dry. This is consistent with previous site inspections conducted since 2020. Therefore, streams throughout the Site do not contain potentially suitable habitat for the Cape Fear shiner. The NCNHP report did identify one documented species occurrence of Cape Fear shiner within a 1- mile radius of the Site in 2021. However, the sections of the Deep River and Haw River near the Site are dammed above and below the Site's location, preventing migration of known Cape Fear shiner populations into streams adjacent and within the Site. No species observations were made within any onsite streams during site investigations. Therefore, due to the lack of potentially suitable habitat and dry streambeds, the proposed project will have no effect on the Cape Fear shiner. Harperella The harperella occupies both riverine and ponded habitats. In the riverine habitat, it grows on rocky, sandy, or gravelly shoals and margins of clear, swift flowing reaches of seasonally flooded streams. It can also be in such fluvial habitats as crevices of exposed bedrock and, rarely, along sheltered muddy stream banks. The species, which can tolerate a lot of shade, is typically found in riverine microsites, such as the downstream side of large rocks or amidst thick clones of water willow, that are sheltered from the erosive effects of swift water. In harperella's ponded habitat, the species is found in the Coastal Plain along the edges of intermittent pineland ponds, damp meadows, and soggy ground around springs. These areas tend to be seasonally flooded and contain soils of a peat muck overlying sand or sandy silt. In riverine and pond environments, the plant is restricted to a very narrow, intermediate range of mean water depths and moderate, periodic flooding. It is entirely absent from both the shallowest or driest areas as well as deep waters. Streams within the Site were mostly composed of sandy and silty bed substrate with areas of gravel, cobble, and bedrock. The streams onsite lacked margins of clear, swift flowing reaches of seasonally flood streams. The streams contained very little suitable harperella habitat and had dry streambeds during site investigations. The NCNHP report did identify one documented species occurrence of harperella within a 1-mile radius of the Site in 1971. No species observations were made within any onsite streams during site investigations. Therefore, due to the lack of potentially suitable habitat, the proposed project will have no effect on the harperella. Effects to federally threatened species No federally threatened species were identified as occurring at or within a 1-mile radius of the Site. Effects to Proposed Federally Protected Species Tricolored Bat On September 14, 2022, the USFWS announced a proposal to list the tricolored bat as endangered under the ESA. The USFWS has not provided an official effective listing date, but it is anticipated to occur in the second half of 2023. Upon listing, the USFWS is expected to provide an area of influence/distribution range for tricolored bat. During the winter, tricolored bats are found in caves and mines, although in the southern United States, where caves are sparse, tricolored bats are often found roosting in road -associated culverts. During the spring, summer, and fall, tricolored bats are found in forested habitats where they roost in trees, primarily among leaves, and within artificial roosts like barns, beneath porch roofs, bridges, concrete bunkers, culverts, and rarely within caves. The removal of trees and/or artificial roosts may affect tricolored bat if present. In the North Carolina piedmont during all seasons of the year, tricolored bat may be found hibernating or roosting in culverts; therefore, the removal or modifications to culverts may affect tricolored bat if present. If culvert modifications or replacements are proposed, then surveys by a qualified biologist may be recommend prior to modification, extension, or removal of culverts 4 feet or greater in diameter. The USFWS recommends that all tree removals be scheduled to be conducted outside of the pup season (April 15 to July 31) or the winter months (December 1 to February 28) as a minimization measure. Mature planted pine forests are present throughout the majority of the Site with small portions of mature hardwood forests along the streams. Approximately 70% of the surrounding 2-mile area is forested, of which this site comprises 2.7%. The NCNHP database did not identify any known occurrences within a 1-mile radius of the Site. Potential suitable roosting habitat is present in forested areas; however, because there are no known records of the species within 1 mile of the Site and the prevalence of potentially suitable habitat in the area regardless of the site it is our opinion that the proposed project is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the tricolored bat. Effects to Proposed Candidate Species Monarch Butterfly The majority of the Site consists of mature planted pine forest with mature hardwood forest along streams throughout the Site. Additionally, there are multiple earthen roads throughout the Site. While evidence of flowering plant species were observed along the edges of the earthen roads during onsite investigation, occurrences of the monarch butterfly were not noted during Site investigation. Further, the monarch butterfly's habitat is ubiquitous throughout the state and disturbance to areas with potentially suitable habitat is minimal. Therefore, it is the opinion of Timmons Group that the proposed proj ect will have no effect on the monarch butterfly. Effects to Federally Protected Species Not Identified through IPaC Northern Long-eared Bat While northern long-eared bat often roosts in dead or dying trees, live trees are also commonly used. Suitable roosting habitat for northern long-eared bat includes any tree, although deciduous trees are most frequently selected, with a dbh greater than 3 inches with cracks, crevices, exfoliating bark, and/or cavities/hollows that is within 1,000 feet of forested/wooded habitat. Small (less than 10 acres) fragmented forested areas and areas with less than a 45 percent canopy cover are not likely to support northern long-eared bat. During the suitable habitat survey on October 3, 2023, several snags with a dbh greater than 3 inches were observed located in the project area within 1,000 feet of forested/wooded habitat. The majority of the Site consists of mature planted pine forest approximately 20- to 25-years old with dbh ranging from approximately 8 to 18 inches and mature hardwood forest with dbh ranging from approximately 5 to 15 inches along the streams throughout the Site. Mature forested areas observed onsite contain several trees that could represent potentially suitable summer roosting habitat for the northern long-eared bat. Commonly observed species in the mature hardwood forest included sweetgum (Liquidambar styracifZua) and tulip -poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). The planted pine forests were composed of loblolly pine (Pious taeda). Additionally, earthen roads were observed throughout the entire Site. Timmons Group is not aware of known maternity roost trees or hibernacula in the vicinity of the Site. According to the USFWS Eastern North Carolina Ecological Services website, Chatham County is not a county with known roosting sites and is located more than 66 miles northwest from the nearest 12-digit USGS Hydrologic Unit Map (HUC) with a known winter roosting site. Although potentially suitable summer roosting habitat is present, Chatham County is not located within the USFWS current range for the northern -long eared bat. Therefore, it is the opinion of Timmons that any development of the Site will have no effect on the species. The Eastern North Carolina Ecological Services Field Office Project Review steps request that reviewers assess their projects for the potential to impact bald eagle nests. A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area, as well as the area within a 1.0-mile radius of the project limits, was performed on October 10, 2023, using 2022 color aerials. Jordan Lake is approximately 1,800 feet north of the project limits and is large enough and sufficiently open to be considered a potential feeding source. However, since there was no foraging habitat within the review area, a survey of the project study area and the area within 660 feet of the project limits was not conducted. Per the NCNHP database report, there are no occurrences of the bald eagle or their nests at or within 1-mile of the Site. Further, no occurrences of nests or bald eagles were observed during the Site inspection on October 3, 2023. Therefore, any disturbance of the Site is unlikely to disturb nesting bald eagles and no Eagle Act Permit is required.

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 10/23/2023 species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: https://www.fws. gov/sites/defaultlfiles/documents/endangered-species-consultation- handbook.pdf Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more information regarding these Acts, see https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-bird-permit/what- we-do. The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan (when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and recommended conservation measures, see https://www.fws.gov/library/collections/threats-birds. In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/partner/council-conservation- migratory-birds. 10/23/2023 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.

Reid Wilson, Secretary Misty Buchanan Deputy DirectDr, Natural Heritage Program NCNHDE-23714 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: 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. 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�dncr.nc.gov.

Hi Kathy, Thank you so much for the response! We understand you all are very busy and short-staffed so thank you again for sending a follow up to our request. We've spoken with our client, and they can currently do the below Sediment and Erosion Control Measures. They will probably be able to do more measures, but currently can't commit to more at this time. • Inspect all vehicles for leaks immediately prior to entering the jurisdictional impact areas each day. Repair any leaks and clean construction vehicles thoroughly to remove any residual dirt, mud, debris, grease, motor oil, hydraulic fluid, coolant, or other hazardous substances from construction vehicles. • When not in use, materials and vehicles will be staged in upland areas outside of the 50-ft riparian buffer. • Minimize the size and number of access corridors for construction vehicles in jurisdictional water and riparian buffer impact areas. • Outlets from silt fence and other construction erosion control devices will not discharge closer than 50 feet to the top of bank. • Inspections, repairs, cleaning, and/or servicing should be conducted either before the vehicle, equipment, or machinery is transported into the field or at the work site. • Fuel and maintain vehicles or equipment and store potentially toxic substances (fuels, paints, solvents, lubricants, etc.) within a containment area in uplands. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information from us. Thanks!

I understand that this review is for due diligence. For projects where a USACE CWA 404 permit application is expected, the USACE will consult with us on the proposed issuance of the permit. You may opt to provide your information to the USACE and let them complete the consultation. This would lessen ourworkload by minimizing the number of times we review an individual project. For this project, due to the presence of Cape Fear shiner records downstream in the Cape Fear River, we would recommend a determination of "not likely to adversely affect" for that species. The Service and NCWRC have recently reintroduced Cape Fear shiner in the Cape Fear River downstream. We recommend stringent application of sediment and erosion controls, and the establishment of forested buffers along all streams on the site. Thanks, and happy holidays. Please note that/ am teleworking Wednesday through Friday, every week. I have a new phone number- See Below!

Project Review Request for Savannah Ridge Residential Development Project Garner, Wake County, NC Dear Ms. Gledhill -Earley, On behalf of our client, Esplanade Development, Timmons Group is requesting SHPO consultation for the above referenced project. This project review is needed as supplement to an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as part of a Chatham County Planning Department First Plat Review Submittal in accordance with Chatham County Subdivision Ordinance section 6.2.13. The proposed residential development will consist of single-family lots and associated amenities (i.e. roadway, stormwater, and utility improvements). Extensive ground disturbance is expected to occur as a result of construction. There are no historical resources listed on or eligible for listing on the NRHP within or immediately adjacent to the direct impacts APE. We would therefore like to request your review and comments on the proposed development. Please contact myself or Lauren Norris -Heflin at the below contact information if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely, Timmons Group 1 A� Jay K. Sander, M.A. Senior Archaeologist 951-452-1833 Jay. sander@timmons.com Lauren Norris eflin Senior Environmental Scientist 919-866-4943 Lauren.norris-heflin(a timmons.com Enclosure ENGINEERING I DESIGN I TECHNOLOGY 5410 Trinity Road P 919.866.4951 T I M M O N S GROUP Suite 102 F 919,859,5663 YOUR VISION ACHIEVED THROUGH OURS. Raleigh, NC 27607 www.timmons.com CULTURAL RESOURCES BACKGROUND STUDY: SAVANNAH RIDGE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, MONCURE, CHATHAM COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA This cultural resource background study has been provided by Timmons Group on behalf of Esplanade Development for the proposed Savannah Ridge Residential Development Project (aka TCI Moncure-Pittsboro) located in Moncure, Chatham County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The project area of potential effects (APE) encompasses approximately 152 acres. The irregularly shaped APE is bound by Jordan Dam Road to the north and west, by Moncure Road to the east, U.S. Route 1 (Claude E. Pope Memorial Highway) to the south, and forested/agricultural land to the southwest. The project area primarily consists of a 10 to 15-year old loblolly pine plantation interspersed with areas of dry-mesic oak -hickory hardwood forest and contains a powerline right of way. The proposed action consists of a Conservation Subdivision with 167 single-family homes, an amenity area with a mail kiosk and offsite parking, and associated infrastructure. Development is anticipated to include the construction of single-family homes with lots being served by public water supplied by Chatham County, and wastewater being treated by individual/conventional and cluster/community septic systems. Cluster septic drain fields will be located on the southwest side of the Site. Additionally, three stormwater control measures will be implemented on -Site. In accordance with Chatham County Subdivision Regulations, section 7.7 for Conservation Subdivisions, 40% minimum of the project area will be retained as conservation space. A maximum of 20% of the required conservation space will be designated as open space and a minimum of 80% will be designated as natural space. At this time, no streams are anticipated to be impacted by public road crossings and no wetland or stream impacts are anticipated to be associated with the construction of the residential lots and associated amenities. One perpendicular stream crossing for a utility access road to the southwestern septic fields is proposed. Additionally, temporary disturbance from six perpendicular force main stream crossings is proposed, with one of the force main crossings to be located beneath the proposed utility access road. Historic Map Research Aerial photographs and maps (NETR and Google Earth, accessed 7/7/2020) indicate that the project area appears to have been either forested or used as a pine plantation since at least 1955. Archaeological Resources Timmons Group Secretary of the Interior qualified archaeologist, Jay Sander, M.A., received a review of the cultural resources database from the North Carolina Office of State Archeology (OSA) on July 6, 2020. The proposed project APE extended one (1) mile from the project's area of direct effects. Three previous archaeological surveys have been conducted within a one -mile- radius of the APE (Table 1). None of these surveys included any portions of the current APE. The review of the cultural resources database also revealed that there are five previously recorded archaeological sites within one mile of the current project area (Table 2), none of which are within or adjacent to the APE. One of the aforementioned sites, 31CH690, is a historic lock and dam transportation feature located on the Deep River which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The remaining have not been evaluated for eligibility. A letter from the property owner of a portion of the subject site, AKPAR 911371, was provided stating she is a descendant of the Minter family, who were historically owners of the property. The owner, Brenda Harrington, states that to her knowledge there are no graves on the property presently nor were there at any time in the past. This letter is included as an attachment to this report. Table 1. Previous studies within a one -mile radius of the APE.

Archaeological sites and historic architectural resources which are listed or eligible for listing to the NRHP are notable for the purposes of this study. Sites or structures that have been noted but not considered for their significance are listed as "surveyed only" or "not evaluated." Based on a review of the NCHPOWEB Online Mapper there are 20 previously recorded historical sites within a 1-mile radius of the APE (Table 3 below and Figure 2 attached). None of the sites are located within or adjacent to the current APE, with the closest site located approximately 0.4-miles south and across US 1. The recorded resources include one site, CH0018, which appears to correspond with the aforementioned archaeological resource listed on the NRHP, consisting of a canal, powerhouse, and canal complex. The remaining resources are historic residences that have been surveyed only or have been destroyed. Table 3. Historical resources located within a one -mile radius of the APE.

Based on a review of the USGS Web Soil Survey (accessed 7/7/2020), all three of the soils series depicted on -site are identified as well drained soils: Mayodan fine sandy loam (MdB and MdQ, and Mayodan gravelly loam (MgD). These soil types have the potential to contain intact archaeological deposits. 4 There are no historical resources listed on or eligible for listing on the NRHP within or immediately adjacent to the direct impacts APE. Given the distance from historic resources and historical silvicultural use of the site, the project is not likely to have an adverse effect on historic resources. This recommendation is subject to review by the North Carolina OSA and HPO. Once this document is submitted by the project proponent any further actions required will be initiated by the North Carolina OSA and HPO. 5 REFERENCES CITED Coe, Joffre L. and Olin F.

Sander Jay.sander(c�r�,timmons.com Timmons Group Re: Savannah Ridge Residential Development (aka TCI Moncure-Pittsboro), Moncure Road, Moncure, Chatham County, ER 20-1554 Mr. Sander: Thank you for your email of July 26, 2020, concerning the above -referenced project. We have reviewed the information provided and offer the following comments: While no archaeological sites have been recorded within the project area, a potential historic cemetery associated with the Minter family has been reported. Information provided by Chatham County Historical Association indicate that unmarked graves may be present on or near parcel 11371. Cemeteries are protected under North Carolina General Statutes (NCGS) Chapter 14-148 and 149 and are afforded consideration under NCGS Chapters 65 and 70. We recommend that a reconnaissance level survey of the project area be conducted by an experienced archaeologist. The purpose of this investigation is to identify and document any cemeteries or archaeological remains that may be readily apparent in the project area and to identify areas that have a high probability for containing archaeological sites that may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. If archaeological sites are found in the project area and/or if it is determined that the potential for eligible sites exists, additional archaeological investigations may be recommended. Cemetery avoidance plans may be recommended, if appropriate. Please note that our office requests consultation with the Office of State Archaeology Review Archaeologist to discuss appropriate field methodologies prior to the archaeological field investigation. One paper copy and one digital copy (PDF) of all resulting archaeological reports, as well as a digital copy (PDF) of the North Carolina site form for each site recorded, should be forwarded to the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) through this office for review and comment as soon as they are available and in advance of any construction or ground disturbance activities. OSA's Archaeological Standards and Guidelines for Background Research, Field Methodologies, Technical Reports, and Curation can be found online at: https://files.nc.gov/dncr-arch/OSA_Guidelines_Dec20l7.pdf. Our expectations for reconnaissance surveys are provided on pages 6 and 20-21. We have determined that the project as proposed will not have an effect on any historic structures.
