Re: Smithfield Boating Access Area- Johnston County, NC
Dear Ms. Sherman:
This letter is to infoim 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 littp://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Therefore, if you have projects that
occur within the Raleigh Field Office's area of responsibility (see attached county list), you no
longer need to contact the Raleigh Field Office fora 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 (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), and a list of federal species of concerns 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' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or
evaluation and can be found.on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes.
t 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 designation 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. Our 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://www.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

Sincerely,
ete Benjamin
Field Supervisor

MEMORANDUM
TO: Sara Sherman
Facility Construction Engineer
Division of Engineering and Lands Management
FROM: Gabriela Garrison
Eastern Piedmont Coordinator
Habitat Conservation
DATE: August 26, 2015
SUBJECT: Request for Environmental Scoping for Renovating the Smithfield Boating Access Area,
Johnston County.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the subject
document. Comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination
Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667e), North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S.
113A-1 through 113A-10; 1 NCAC 25), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
The NCWRC Division of Engineering and Lands Management, in partnership with the City of
Smithfield, proposes to renovate the boat ramp at the Smithfield Boating Access Area. The existing
concrete ramp will be removed, and a new concrete ramp with a parallel floating dock will be
constructed. The existing maneuver area and driveway will be rebuilt. Lastly, a new vehicle -trailer
parking area will be constructed at the north end of North Front Street. The project is located along US
Highway 70 in Smithfield, west of its intersection with US Highway 301.
There are records for the following freshwater mussel species near the proposed project site in the Neuse
River: the state -threatened, Roanoke slabshell (Elliptio roanokensis), triangle floater (Alasmidonta
undulata) and eastern lampmussel (Lampsilis radiata), as well as the Carolina slabshell (Elliptio
congaraea), a species on the Natural Heritage Program's `Watch List'. The following recommendations
will minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources:
1. Due to the presence of state -listed mussel species, a salvage effort in the immediate project area
should be conducted before work begins. Please contact Dr. Tyler Black, the Eastern Region
Aquatic Wildlife Diversity Coordinator, at 919-707-0364 or tvler.black(a,ncwildlife.org, one
month prior to work activities to schedule the salvage effort.
2. Two anadromous fish species, striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and American shad (Alosa
sapidissima), are known to spawn in the Neuse River where construction activities will

occur. As such, an in -water work moratorium from February 15 to June 30 should be
observed.
3. Concrete is toxic to aquatic life and should not come in contact with surface waters until it
has cured.
4. Sediment and erosion control measures should be installed prior to any construction. The use of
biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control devices is strongly
recommended. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose -weave netting that
is made of natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and horizontal twines.
Silt fencing and similar materials that have been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be
avoided as they impede the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and sediment
loads can have detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat,
suffocation of eggs and clogging of gills. These measures should be routinely inspected and
properly maintained.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If I can be of fin-ther assistance,
please contact me at [phone] or abriela.garrison&ncwildlife.org.
