delineation must be verified by the Corps.
_ The waters of the U.S. including wetlands on your project area 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, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be
relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.

C. Basis For Determination: The jurisdictional determination for this project is based on preliminary
jurisdictional determination data submitted by the consultant, Stantec, on behalf of the applicant: The
streams, (Site Numbers 1 and 6) appear to be tributaries with Ordinary High Water Marks (OHWMs) that
flow through to the Roanoke Rapid Lake, a navigable water of the United States. The open waters area (Site
Number 9) is a portion of the Roanoke Rapids Lake. The wetlands (Site Numbers 2,3,4,5,7,8,10,11) meet the
hydrophytic 'vegetation, wetland hydrology, and hydric soil criteria of the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual and the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Supplement and appear to be
contiguous with and/or adjacent to a one of the tributaries listed above or the Roanoke Rapids Lake.
D. Remarks: 1) US Army Corps of Engineers conducted a site visit on January 20, 2016. 2) See attached maps.
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.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request
and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless,
the permit applicant or other person who requested this preliminary JD has declined
to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in this instance and at this time.
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 approved JD for
the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the following:. (1) the
permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a preliminary
JD, which sloes not make an official determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the
applicant has the option to request an approved JD before accepting the terms and
conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an
approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or
different special conditions; (3) that 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) that 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) that undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit
authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the applicant's
acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be
processed as soon as is practicable; (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 preliminary JD constitutes agreement
that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that
activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
Such Jurisdiction In any add-ninistrative 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 approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed
as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, 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, and that in any
administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(x)(2)).
If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary to make an official
determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Cops will provide an approved M
to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

RE: Dominion Roanoke Rapids Hydroelectric Generating Station
North Side Dam, Recreational Area Project
Northern Long-eared Bat Request for Concurrence Regarding Tree Clearing
Dear Mr. Ellis,
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license for Dominion's Roanoke Rapids
and Gaston Hydroelectric Generating Stations includes a requirement for Dominion to construct
several recreation areas in the vicinity of the power stations by the end of 2016. The construction
of a recreation area on the north side of the Roanoke Rapids dam will include the development of
the project area to enhance fishing accessibility.
Some clearing of the existing forest will be necessary in order to construct the recreation area as
required. However, as discussed in the attached documentation, a database review did not
identify the presence of the Northern Long Eared Bat (NLEB) in the vicinity of the project. In
addition, Dominion plans to conduct any tree clearing activities outside of the typical time of
year restrictions for NLEB, prior to April 15, 2016.
Based on the results of the database review and proposed clearing outside of time of year
restrictions, Dominion requests your concurrence that the required tree removal may be
conducted provided that clearing is completed prior to April 15, 2016.
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Amelia Boschen
at [phone] or [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Boschen,
Reference: Lake Gaston Recreational Sites - Roanoke Rapids Northside Dam, Northampton
County, North Carolina
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec) is pleased to provide this correspondence regarding
the potential effect of the proposed activities associated with the Lake Gaston Recreational Sites
- Roanoke Rapids Northside Dam on the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis; NLEB.
The project is located within the Roanoke Rapids Lake, Black Duck Creek, and Roanoke River
drainage basins in Northampton County, North Carolina and consists of approximately 27 -acres
on the northside of the Roanoke River dam and an additional 30 foot proposed access road
which originates at Route 46 and generally runs to the south to the main project area. The site is
situated north of Roanoke Rapids Lake, east of Roanoke Rapids Road (Route 48), south of Route
46 and can be accessed via Route 46 (Figure 1).
The proposed project includes the development of a parcel of land on the north side of the
Roanoke River Dam to enhance fishing accessibility. Improvements include an access road to the
site, accessible path to the water's edge, a new parking area, foot trails, and an Americans with
Disabilities Act accessible fishing bank or T-shaped pier into the water. Some clearing of existing
forest is expected; however, it is expected that tree clearing activities will be conducted prior to
April 15, 2016, a timeframe that outside of typical time of year restrictions for NLEB.
On behalf of Dominion Resources, Stantec has conducted a search of federal and state
threatened and endangered species databases for potential protected species within the project
area. Specifically, Stantec searched the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information,
Planning and Conservation System (IPaC) and the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (NCDENR) Natural Heritage Program database for Northampton County. While
several federal and state protected species were identified as having potential to be present
within the project vicinity, NLEB was not included in the database search results.
Based on the results of the database review and proposed clearing outside of typical time of year
restrictions, it is assumed the proposed project meets the applicable conservation measures as
outlined below:

Reference: Lake Gaston Recreational Sites - Roanoke Rapids Northside Dam
Activity occurs more than 0.25 miles from a known occupied hibernacula
Activity avoids cutting or destroying known, occupied roost trees during the pup season
(June 1 to July 31)
Activity avoids clearcuts and similar harvest methods (e.g., seed tree, shelterwood, and
coppice) within 0.25 mile of known, occupied roost trees during the pup season (June 1 to
July 31).
As a result of meeting the applicable conservation measures, if is expected that the project will be
exempt from needing an incidental take statement.

Re: Roanoke Rapids Hydroelectric Generating Station— Northampton County, NC
Dear Ms. Boschen:
This letter is to inform you that a list of all federally -protected endangered and threatened species
with known occurrences in North Carolina is now available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service's (Service) web page at http:l.'wNv-,v.fws.gov/raleigh. Therefore, if you have projects th::t
occur within the Raleigh Field Office's area of responsibility (see attached county list), you no
longer need to contact the Raleigh Field Office for a list of federally -protected species.
Our web page contains a complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and threatened
species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (1 f
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), and a list of federal species of concern' that are known to occur in
each county in North Carolina.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all 'federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally -listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally -protected species list, information on the
species' iife'iistories and habitats and iiiiia-ruation Oii concipleting a biuiogicai assessment or
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http:llwww.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes.
' The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of
concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their desi7nation does
not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed for listing; as a federally endangered or threatened
species. However, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to
federal species of concern.

If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
With regard to the above -referenced project, we offer the following remarks. {Jur comments are
submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed
action is not likely to adversely affect any federally -listed endangered or threatened species, their
formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at
these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for
your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be
reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species
is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have
on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we
recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species,
including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control
measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by
the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction.
Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction
site and any nearby down -gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining
natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a
copy can be found on our website at (http:llwww.fws.gov/raleigh) to address and mitigate
secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality.
We recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in
completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary).

We hope you find our web page useful and informative and that following; the process described
above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for
species' lists. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis of this office at
[phone] ext, 26.
Sincerely,
Vete
