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 maybe used m the permit evaluation process,
including determining compensatory mitigation_ Far purposes of computation of impacts, compensatorymitigation
requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will neat 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

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 CWAIRHA 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. on your property delineated. As the Corps may notbe 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_

Project Name: Cedar Hill Landing
Federal Nexus: no
Federal Action Agency (it applicable):
Subject: Technical assistance for 'Cedar Hill Landing'
Dear Megan Dean:
This letter records your determination using the Information for Planning and Consultation
(IPaq system provided to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on April 10, 2C24, for
'Cedar Hill Landing' (here forward, Project). This project has been assigned Project Code
2C24-0074958 and all future correspondence should clearly reference thls number. Please
carefullyreview this letter. Your Endangered species Act (Act) requirements.arenot
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 subm itted by the Project proponent into
IPaC must accurately representthe full scope and details of the Project.
Failure to accurately represent or implement the Project as detailed in IPaC orthe Northern
Long-eared Bat Rangewide Determination Key (Dkey), invalidates this Ietter.Answers to certain
questions in the DKey commit the project proponent to implementation of conservation
measures that must he followed for the ESA determ fnaton 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 letterthat your [PaC-assisted determination was incorrect, this letter
verifies that the Action 15 not likely to result in unauthorized take of the northern long-eared bat.

Project code: 2024-0074958 IPaC Record Locator: 795-141497965 04110)202413:12:20 UTC
Other Species and Critical Habitat that May be Present in the Action Area
The 1PaC-assisted determination for the northern long-eared bat does not apply to the following
ESA-pratected species and/or critical habitat that also may occur in your Action area:
• American Alligator Alligator mississippiensis Similarity of Appearance (Threatened)
• Cooley's Meadownte 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 Carerta caretta Threatened
• Magnificent Ramshom Planorbella magnifica Endangered
• Monarch Butterfly Danaus plexippus Candidate
• Piping Plover Chamdrius melodus Threatened
• Red -cockaded Woodpecker Picoides borealis Endangered
• Rough -leaved Loosestrife Lysimachia asperulaefolia Endangered
• Rufa Red Knot Calidris canutus rufa Threatened
• Tricolored Bat Perimyotis subfluvus Proposed Endangered
You may coordinate with our Office to determine whether the Action may cause prohibited take
of the animal species and/or critical habitat 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 Steps
Coordination with the Service is complete. This letter serves as technical assistance. All
conservation measures should be implemented as proposed. Thank you for considering federally
listed species during your project planning.
We are uncertain where the northern long-eared bat occurs on the landscape outside of known
locations. Because of the steep declines in the species and vast amount of available and suitable
forest habitat, the presence of suitable forest habitat alone is a far less reliable predictor of their
presence. Based on the best available information, most suitable habitat is now expected to be
unoccupied. During the interim period, while we are working on potential methods to address
this uncertainty, we conclude take is not reasonably certain to occur in areas of suitable habitat
where presence has not been documented.
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)

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.

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 resuk of a project. Intentional take could refer to
research, direct species management, surveys, andlorstudies that include intentional handlirVencauntering,
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 understated that your proj ect 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 powerfacilittes is either (1) part
of the federal action or (2) would not occur but for a federal agency action (federal permit, funding, etc.).
No

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 identities 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 he 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 erseq.). If your project area
contains suitable habitatfor 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 Ilst 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 CFR402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should he verified after 90 days. This verification can he
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification he
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 Ilst.
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 erseq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the Conservation of threatened and endangered

Project code: 2024-0074958 04110)202413:05:12 UTC
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:

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:l/www.fws.gov/program/migratory-bird-permitlwhat-
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 projeci-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,govllibrary/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 butte
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https:llviww.fws,gov/partner/council-conservation-

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

Appendix C— Conservation Recommendations
These recommendations are optional and, if implemented, would support the agency's goals toward
recovery. These recommendations are tabe used at the discretion of the permittee, but any measures that
avoid and minimize effects to the species are highly encouraged by the USFWS.
I. Minimize project impacts within clusters and foraging habitat whenever possible (i.e., conduct large
pine removal outside of nesting season [April I to July 311, trim branches instead of complete tree
removal, switch building plans to retain large pines[.
2. The USFWS strongly recommends that occupied habitats be avoided and preserved. The first measure
Is to modify the project footprint to avoid direct Impacts to RCW habitat. This habitat could be
designated as an environmentally sensitive area and set aside by deed restriction, easement, or
another protective covenant. If the occupied habitat on the property exceeds 5 acres 12 hectares),
then a habitat management plan is also recommended. incorporating these recommendations Into
the project design and documenting them In the habitat management plan might result in the project
bei ng not likely to adversely affect the RCW.
3. On -site habitat enhancements are recommended by the USFWS in situations where a project
proposes to Impact occupied RCW habitat. If the site has been physically altered by exotic species
invasion, lack of fire, or other anthropogenlc actions, these alterations have produced on -site habitat
conditions that have resulted in marginally suitable habitats for RCW's survival and propagation. The
planned action, through project redesign, has avoided impacting a substantial portion of the habitat,
however, some habitat loss will still occur. The project proposes on -site habitat enhancements and
management actions that provide habitat quality improvements that bal ante losses of small amounts
of marginally suitable habitats. Incorporating these recommendations into the project and
documenting them i n a habitat management plan can result in the project being not li kely to adversely
affect the RCW.
4. Remove vines and thick underbrush/mid-story to improve site suitability.
5. Provision starts and/or completed cavities in suitable large pines to provide additional housing
opportunities to an RCW cluster.
