Novartis has proposed to construct a new pharmaceutical facility with associated access roads and parking areas. This work will result in 288 linear feet of unavoidable impacts to one jurisdictional stream channel (an unnamed tributary of Utley Creek) and 0.38 acres of isolated wetlands. The purpose of the project is to facilitate industrial development in Holly Springs, North Carolina. The anticipated let date for this proposed project is October 2006. Arrangement of the proposed facility with all the buildings and parking areas was studied and several versions were produced. However, the production line requires a specific set-up of building locations with parking arranged around the building instead of all located at one end. After the building arrangement had been decided upon, the location of Phase 1 needed to be planned such that there was plenty of land on the property left for Phases 2 and 3 if needed; while keeping in mind the avoidance and minimization of stream and wetland impacts. In an attempt to avoid wetland and stream impacts on the southern portion of the subject property the final design of Phase 1 was located as far north as possible. The limiting element on the north side of the property is a severe slope associated with another perennial stream which had to be avoided for construction purposes. Though we were not able to completely avoid impacts to wetlands and streams with the Phase 1 layout, these impacts have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable and still meet the needs of the project. Portions of the existing stream depicted in Figures 2, 2A, and C-JSK-6 as Stream SD and the isolated wetland WD are proposed to be filled. There is no outfall pipe proposed, instead the waters that would enter the stream will be diverted along the toe of the proposed fill slope crossing an access road and emptying back into the original stream downstream of the proposed earthen slope. In order to meet the purpose and need of the proposed project it was not feasible to entirely avoid wetland or stream impacts. Abridging alternative was studied; however, due to the severe valley slope the bridge would need to be approximately 80 feet long and take up considerable land area needed for the parking and access roads which would result in increased stream impacts in another location within the subject property. This would not leave enough land area to build the potential Phase 2 and 3 MULKEY INC. 6750 TRYON ROAD GARY.

Another alternative suggested was the use of a concrete retaining wall; however, according to Jacobs Engineering, the wall would have created approximately the same amount of impacts as the earthen slope due to the nearly 27 feet of fill required to bring the site to grade. The design presented in this permit application was proposed by Jacobs Engineering and Novartis during meetings attended by agents from the USACE and the NCDWQ conducted the week of July 14 at the Town of Holly Springs municipal building. Stream mitigation will be required by these regulatory agencies for this proposed project at varying ratios. Impacted peremnial streams require compensatory mitigation at a 2:1 ratio for the USACE, while NCDWQ requires compensatory mitigation for perennial streams at a 1:1 ratio. Streams determined by the USACE to be intermittent-important require a compensatory mitigation ratio of 1:1. NCDWQ does not require compensatory mitigation for intermittent streams. For this project there are 107 linear feet of perennial stream proposed to be impacted and 181 linear feet of intermittent-important stream proposed to be impacted. These individual regulatory agencies do not require separate mitigation; therefore, once the compensatory mitigation is sufficient for the USACE (which requires higher mitigation costs) then NCDWQ requirements generally have been met as well. Therefore, the stream compensatory mitigation will be for 395 linear feet of stream. In addition, 226 linear feet of intermittent-isolated stream channel and 0.38 acres of isolated wetlands will be impacted by the proposed project. These waters are solely under the jurisdiction of NCDWQ and are below thresholds requiring compensatory mitigation. The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) has agreed to provide Novartis up to 580 linear feet of stream mitigation upon approval of environmental permits and submittal of fee. In summary, 395 linear feet of stream channel will be directly mitigated for by EEP. Attached is a copy of the letter from the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) granting Novartis the opportunity to pay into their in-lieu fee mitigation program for anticipated stream impacts as a result of this proposed project. The project is located within the Cape Fear River subbasin 03-06-07. There are seven jurisdictional streams within the 167.0 acre subject property; however, there is only one jurisdictional stream (UT to Utley Creek) within the 51.0 acre Phase 1 area. The UT to Utley Creek is not depicted on the USGS Apex, NC topographic quadrangle map, but has been confirmed to be jurisdictional by the USACE and the NCDWQ because the stream displays signs of subsurface input and an uninterrupted bed and bank among other attributes. The concurrence field meetings were conducted on June 16, 2006 with Mr. Monte Matthews (USACE) and with Mr. Ian McMillan (NCDWQ) on June 9 and 30, 2006. Utley Creek flows into White Oak Creek approximately 3.0 miles southwest of the project area. NCDWQ has assigned a best usage classification of "C" to Utley Creek and a stream index number is 18-7-(5.5). The USGS hydrologic unit is 03030004. There are no high quality waters (HQW), outstanding resource waters (ORW), drinking water supply waters (WS-I and WS-II), or 303(d) listed streams within aone-mile radius of the project study area. An area of isolated wetlands is located above the jurisdictional stream, and is proposed to be impacted by the proposed project. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has identified three Endangered (E) species (red-cockaded woodpecker, Michaux's sumac and dwarf wedge mussel) and one Threatened (T) species (bald eagle) for which occurrences have been recorded in Wake County. The land that will be impacted as a result of this project consists ofpine-hardwood forest, with an existing maintained sewer line easement, and a significant network of dirt access roads. No suitable habitat is available within the project area for any of the protected species, except Michaux's sumac. • Bald eagles are year-round, transient species in North Carolina. Suitable habitat for the bald eagle consisting of large areas of open water is not present within the subject property. An area of open water, Thomas Mill Pond, is located several hundred feet south of the southern property boundary; however, no nests were observed near the pond. North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) maps were reviewed on June 14, 2006 to determine if any bald eagle populations have been identified at or near the project study area. This map review confirmed that no bald eagle nests or individuals have been reported within aone-mile radius of the project site. Proposed project construction will not impact this species. • Suitable habitat for RCW does not exist within the project area since there are no pine dominated stands of appropriate diameter or age present. The pines that are present are young (less than 30 years old) and are within thick stands of hardwoods. NCNHP maps were reviewed on June 14, 2006 to deternine if any RCW populations have been identified at or near the project study area. This map review confirmed that no known RCWs are located within aone-mile radius of the project site. Proposed project construction will not impact this species. • Suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac consisting of sandy or rocky open woods or open areas of periodic disturbance is present in the project study area. The project study area is dominated by clayey textured, thickly vegetated areas. However, there are several locations throughout the subject property that contain more rocky soils that contain significantly less vegetation. These areas tend to be along the existing dirt roads, sewer line easements, as well as areas that were formerly used for logging decks. A plant by plant survey for Michaux's sumac was conducted by Mr. Tom Barrett and Mr. Scott Hunt, PE within the project study area on May 2, 2006 for approximately 8man-hours. No Michaux sumac individuals were observed during this survey. In addition, North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) maps were reviewed on June 14, 2006 to determine if any protected species have been identified at or near the project study area. This map review confirmed that no populations of Michaux's sumac are known to occur within aone-mile radius of the project site. Proposed project construction will not impact this species. • Suitable habitat for the dwarf wedgemussel consisting of nearly silt-free streams, with slow to moderate currents within the Neuse or Pamlico river basins is not present within the project study area. Several freshwater mussels were observed in the perennial stream in the northern portion of the subject property (Stream "SA"); however, due to the subject property's location within the Cape Fear River basin no dwarf wedgemussel are anticipated to be present. NCNHP maps were reviewed on June 14, 2006 and this map review confirmed that no populations of dwarf wedgemussel are known to occur within atwo-mile radius of the project study area. Proposed project construction will not impact this species. Following your review and concurrence with the proposed action, please issue a NWP 39 that will authorize construction activities associated with the filling of jurisdictional stream channel and isolated wetland and stream areas within the proposed Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics facility.

These additional phases are included with this permit package to demonstrate future potential impacts to jurisdictional waters; however, the designs for these other phases will likely change as needed or may never occur. Page 3 of 10 VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. 1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: The existing stream and isolated stream and wetland will be filled for the access road and parking facilities. Water within this draina¢e area will be redirected to either the stormwater detention pond or through a ditch which will traverse along the toe of the proposed fill sloe via a ditch and empty into the floodplain of the subject stream downstream of the impacts. These actions will permanently impact 107 linear feet ofperennial stream channel 181 linear feet of intermittent-important stream channel 226 linear feet of intermittent-isolated stream channel, and _0.38 acres of isolated wetlands. 2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding. Wetland Impact Site Number (indicate on map) Type of Impact Type of Wetland (e.g., forested, marsh, herbaceous, bog, etc.) Located within 100-year Floodplain (es/no) Distance to Nearest Stream (linear feet) Area of Impact (acres) 1 Fill Isolated forested headwater No Adjacent to isolated stream 0.38 Total Wetland Impact (acres) 0.38 3. List the total acreage (estimated) of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.96 acre 4. Individually list all intermittent and perennial stream impacts. Be sure to identify temporary impacts. Stream impacts include, but are not limited to placement of fill or culverts, dam Page 4 of ] 0 construction, flooding, relocation, stabilization activities (e.g., cement walls, rip-rap, crib walls, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included. To calculate acreage, multiply length X width, then divide by 43,560. Stream Impact Number (indicate on ma) Stream Name Type of Impact Perennial or Intermittent? Average Stream Width Before Im act Impact Length (linear feet) Area of Impact (acres) 2 UT to Utley Creek Fill Intermittent - Isolated 3 feet 226 3 UT to Utley Creek Fill Intermittent 3 feet 181 4 UT to Utley Creek Fill Perennial 4 feet 107 Total Stream Impact (by length and acreage) 288 linear feet (non- isolated stream) 5. Individually list all open water impacts (including lakes, ponds, estuaries, sounds, Atlantic Ocean and any other water of the U.S.). Open water impacts include, but are not limited to fill, excavation, dredging, flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc. Open Water Impact Site Number (indicate on ma) Name of Waterbody (if applicable) Type of Impact Type of Waterbody (lake, pond, estuary, sound, bay, ocean, etc.) Area of Impact (acres) Total Open Water Impact (acres) 6. List the cumulative im act to all Waters of the U.S. resulting from the ro'ect: Stream Impact (acres): Wetland Impact (acres): Isolated 0.38 Open Water Impact (acres): Total Impact to Waters of the U.S. (acres): Isolated 0.38 Total Stream Impact (linear feet): 288 7. Isolated Waters Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ®Yes ^ No Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE. Page 5 of 10 The USACE has determined that the wetlands that are proposed to be impacted (Wetland WD -located immediately north of the end of the UT to Utley Creek) are isolated due to a si¢nificant break in the intermittent channel in which nearly all characteristics of the stream channel are lost Due to the intermittent nature of the isolated stream it is not currently regulated by the USACE or NCDWQ However the isolated wetland immediately above the nick point of the isolated stream is regulated by NCDWQ. The isolated headwater forested wetland comprises proximately 0.38 acre and is planned to be filled entirely for construction o~arkin~ areas and an access road. Water that would have entered this stream and wetland will b cy onveyed through both stormwater pipes to awet-detention pond and through a drainage ditch located near the toe of the proposed constructed fill slope emptying into the UT to Utley Creek downstream of the proposed impacts 8. Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ®uplands ^ stream ^ wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): The wet-detention ,pond will be excavated near the southwestern corner of the~ro~osed facility and will use to collect and treat stormwater runoff prior to entering any streams or wetland areas. Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): State stormwater requirements Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: undeveloped forested land Size of watershed draining to pond: 26.2 acres Expected pond surface area (permanent pool): 18,988 ftZ VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The stream and isolated wetland proposed to be impacted can not be completely avoided and still achieve the goals of the~roject Desi ng attempts were made to avoid impacts to the stream by bridging and by use of a concrete retaining wall However due to the steep nature of the valley the bridge would need to be approximately 80-feet long which would not leave enough space for the all of the proposed buildings Use of a concrete retaining wall was considered, but was determined to~rovide only minimal (10 to 15 ft.~benefit in avoiding stream impacts. It was decided that the best and safest option would be to construct a standard wrapped face earthen slope with a 2.1 tiered slope Engineered design drawings are included with this permit package. Impacts to the stream have been minimized by locating the proposed facility as far north on the ~ropert~possible without impacting the perennial stream (Stream SA) or its associated floodplain located near the northern~roperty boundary Impacts to the perennial stream (Stream Page 6 of 10 SD) have been further minimized by adjustment of the proposed access road. This adjustment involved curving_the proposed roadway at the location of the stream crossing. A draft of this proposal has been previously presented to the USACE and NCDWQ during initial project discussions VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.

The estimated impervious surface that will be generated as a result of this project is 14.3 acres of the 51.0 acres that will be cleared and graded Stormwater runoff will be collected via curb and gutter or other Stormwater drain devices and will all be conveyed to a Stormwater retention pond approximately one acre in size located near the southwest corner of the proposed facility. The attached Stormwater mana~~ement plan follows the NCDWQ guidelines. No direct discharges into streams will result from the~roposed design. XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. Wastewater produced by the proposed facility will_all be collected and conveyed off-site via the Town of Holl~prin sg managed sanitary sewer system. Any chemical byproducts produced during the manufacturing process (including fire water) will be processed and treated prior to entering the sanitary sewer. XIII. Violations (required by DWQ) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ^ No Isthis anafter-the-fact permit application? Yes ^ No Page 9 of 10 XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ) Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ^ No If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: This project will currently involve the construction of six buildings with a seventh building acting as a connector to the other six. Access to the facility will be from Thomas Mill Road. For this project Thomas Mill Road will require upgrading which will involve paving and widening to a two-lane facility and will end at the front entrance of the facility. All potential wetland and stream impacts associated with Thomas Mill Road have been avoided, and is being constructed by the Town of Holly Springs, and is therefore been considered a separate project. Future development of the Novartis property will be conducted to the west of the proposed Phase 1 facility. This growth will be limited to only two more additional phases, all associated with Novartis' Vaccines and Diagnostics program. No additional perennial of intermittent- important stream channel impacts are anticipated and the anticipated wetland impacts would be minor (keeping within the thresholds of a Nationwide Permit). Thomas Mill Road has been proposed to provide access to these additional facilities• however, this will be the extent of the road There is no planned road fur cul-de-sac or dead end to provide for potential development to the north south or west of the subject property. In addition much of the adjacent land is owned by Progress Energy (associated with the Sharon-Harris facility) and there is therefore there is no anticipation for development within this adjacent property. If any of the adjacent properties were to be developed those facilities would be required to generate their own separate access roads All stormwater for Phase 1 and the potential future phases of the Novartis campus will be collected and conveyed to stormwater retention ponds and treated before being released into Lurisdictional Waters of the U.S. Given all of this information this proposed project should not cause any reasonably anticipated future impacts to water quality in North Carolina. XV. Other Circumstances (Optional): It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control). A draft of this proposal was presented at meetings during the week of July 14 2006 with avoidance and minimization comments attempted and where workable integrated. The requested NWP 39 deals ~ecifically with the 288 linear feet of stream impacts. The requested isolated waters permit deals specifically with the 0.38 acre of isolated wetland impacts. ti~v-~~ G~ 9 Z ~ /Zoo 6 AppGcant/Agent's Signature ~ Date (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.)

Protected Species Technical Report "Aardvark" Property Development Project Town of Holly Springs Wake County, North Carolina EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mulkey, Inc. (Mulkey) has been retained by the Town of Holly Springs to prepare a Protected Species Technical Report as part of the environmental studies for a proposed development project in Wake County, North Carolina. The "Aardvark" property was surveyed for rare, threatened, and endangered species during May 2006 (Figure 1). The threatened and endangered species survey focused on threatened and endangered species listed by US Fish c`3c Wildlife Service (USFWS) as occurring in Wake County, North Carolina as of March 9, 2006. Afield investigation was conducted to determine the presence or absence of the species within this tract. The project study area was found to contain suitable habitat for only Michaux's sumac. Surveys were conducted for Michaux's sumac; however, no individuals were found within the project study area. Project construction will have No Effect on the federally threatened or endangered species listed by the United Sates Fish and Wildlife Service (USh~X/S) for Wake County, North Carolina. INTRODUCTION Some populations of fauna and flora have been, or arc in the process of decline due to either natural forces or their inability to coexist with humans. Federal law (under the provisions of Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act [ESA] of 1973, as amended) requires that any action likely to adversely affect a species classified as federally-protected be subject to review by the USFWS. Prohibited actions that may affect any species protected under the ESA are outlined in Section 9 of the Act. Species may receive additional protection under separate federal or state laws. Species which are listed, or are proposed for listing, as endangered or threatened are recorded in Section 4 of the ESA. As of March 9, 2006, the USFWS identified three Endangered (E) species (red cockaded woodpecker, dwarf wedgemussel, and Michaux's sumac) and one Threatened (I) species (bald eagle) known to occur in Wake County. As defined by the Act, an endangered species is any plant or animal which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range within the foreseeable future. A threatened species is any species which is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. The survey was undertaken to determine if threatened and endangered species are present on the proposed "Aardvark" development property located approximately two miles west of downtown Holly Springs. The subject property is approximately 160 acres and located entirely within the Cape bear River basin. The dominant vegetative community on the subject property is mixed pine/hardwood forest found throughout the subject property. I"he existing dirt roads, abandoned logging decks, and the sewerline easement are the only open areas present within the subject property. ~1'he streams and wetlands on-site have been delineated and are being coordinated with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USl1CE) and the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) for certification. METHODS The subject property was visited by two staff ecologists from Mulkey Engineers & Consultants in May 2006. All forest stands and other habitat types on the property were visited during the survey. North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) maps were reviewed on June 14, 2006 to determine if any protected species have been identified near the project area. This map review confirmed that no species classified as Endangered or Threatened by the USFWS have been identified within a one mile radius of the project study area. The following species are identified as federally protected for Wake County. Table 1 shows the federally threatened and endangered species listed for Wake County. Table 2 (attached) lists all of the federal and state protected species for Wake County. .Table 1. Federally. Protected. Species for Wake County Common Name Scientific Name Federal Status Bald eagle Haliaeetu.r lezrcocephahrr Threatened Red-cockaded woodpecker Picoide.r borealis Endangered Dwarf Wedgemussel Alasmidonta heterodon Endangered Michaux's sumac Rh~~s nzicha~~xii Endangered RESULTS Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) Federal Status: Threatened (Proposed for delisting) The bald eagle is a large raptor that ranges in size from 32 to 43 inches tall and has a wingspan averaging 6 feet. These predators weigh an average of 10 to 12 pounds. adult body plumage is dark brown to chocolate brown with a white head and tail, while juveniles are brown and irregularly marked with white until their fourth year. 'T'hey are primarily associated with large bodies of water where food is plentiful and suitable nesting sites are typically found within 0.5 miles of the water. Nests arc made in the largest living tree within the area, with an open view of surrounding land and a clear flight path to water. Nests can be as large as 6 feet across and are made of sticks and vegetation. These platform nests may be used by the same breeding pair for many years. Breeding begins in December or January and the young remain in the nest at least ten weeks after hatching. Bald eagles eat mostly fish robbed from ospreys or picked up dead along shorelines or other carrion. They may also capture small animals such as rabbits, some birds, and wounded ducks (USI'WS, 2003). Biological Conclusion: No Effect Bald eagles arc year-round, transient species in North Carolina. Suitable habitat for the bald eagle consisting of large areas of open water is not present within the subject property. An area of open water, Thomas Mill Pond, is located several hundred feet south of the southern property boundary; however, no nests were observed near the pond. NCNHP maps were reviewed on June 14, 2006 to determine if any bald eagle populations have been identified at or near the project study area. This map review confirmed that no bald eagle nests or individuals have been reported within aone- mile radius of the project site. Proposed project construction will not impact this species. Red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) Federal Status: Endangered "This bird is a small, 7 to 8-inch tall woodpecker with a black and white barred back conspicuous large white cheek surrounded by a black cap, nape, and throat. Males have a very small red mark at the upper edge of the white cheek and just behind the eye. Red-cockaded woodpeckers (RCW) are found in open pine forests in the southeastern United States where they use open old growth stands of southern pines, particularly longleaf pine, for foraging and nesting habitat. A forested stand optimally should contain at least 50 percent pine and lack a thick understory. The RCW is unique among woodpeckers because it nests almost exclusively in living pine trees. These birds excavate nests in pines greater than 60 years old that are contiguous with open, pine dominated foraging habitat. The foraging range of the RCW may extend 500 acres and must be contiguous with suitable nesting sites. Living pines infected with red-heart disease (Formes pint) are often selected for cavity excavation because the inner heartwood is usually weakened and therefore easier to excavate. Cavities are located from 12 to 100 feet above ground level and below live branches. "These trees can be identified by "candles," a large encrustation of running sap that encrusts the tree trunk. The sap encrustation selves as a deterrent for predatory species such as snakes and may be used by the RCW as a visual indicator of nesting or foraging territories. Colonies consist of one to many of these candle trees. The RCW lays its eggs in 11pri1, May, and June; the eggs hatch approximately 10 to 12 days later (USFWS, 1992). Biological Conclusion: No Effect Suitable habitat for RCW does not exist within the project area since there are no pine dominated stands of appropriate diameter or age present. The pines that are present are young (less than 30 years old) and are within thick stands of hardwoods. NCNHP maps were reviewed on June 14, 2006 to determine if any RCW populations have been identified at or near the project study area. This map review confirmed that no known RCWs are located within none-mile radius of the project site. Proposed project construction will not impact this species. Dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) Federal Status: Endangered The dwarf wedgemussel is relatively small, rarely exceeding 1.5 inches in length. The shell's outer surface is usually brown or yellowish brown in color, with faint green rays that are most noticeable in young specimens. Unlike some mussel species, the male and female shells differ slightly, with the female being wider to allow greater space for egg development. A distinguishing characteristic of this mussel is its dentition pattern: the right valve possesses two lateral teeth, while the left valve has only one. This trait is opposite of all other North American species having lateral teeth. This mussel inhabits creeks and rivers that have a slow to moderate current with a sand, gravel, or muddy bed. These streams must be nearly silt free in order to support dwarf wedgemussels. The dwarf wedgemussel is considered to be a long-term brooder, with gravid females reportedly observed in fall months. Like other freshwater mussels, this species' eggs are fertilized in the female by sperm that are taken in through their siphons as they respire. The eggs develop within the female's gills into larvae (glochidia). The females later release these glochidia, which then attach to the gills or fins of specific host fish species. Based on anecdotal evidence, such as dates when gravid females are present or absent, it appears that release of glochidia occurs prvnarily in April in North Carolina. While the USFWS notes that the host fish species is unknown, evidence indicates that an anadromous fish which migrates from ocean waters to fresh waters for spawning may be the likely host species. However, recent research has confirmed at least three potential fish host species for the dwarf wedgemussel in North Carolina: the tessellated darter, Johnny darter, and mottled sculpin. These fish species are found in Atlantic coast drainages of North Carolina; however, the dwarf wedgemussel is only found in the Neuse and Pamlico river basins (Moser 1993). Biological Conclusion: No Effect Suitable habitat for the dwarf wedgemussel consisting of nearly silt-free streams, with slow to moderate currents within the Neuse or Pamlico river basins is not present within the project study area. Several freshwater mussels were observed in the perennial stream in the northern portion of the subject property (Stream "SA"); however, due to the subject property's location within the Cape Fear river basin no dwarf wedgemussel are anticipated to be present. NCNHP maps were reviewed on June 14, 2006 and this map review confirmed that no populations of dwarf wedgemussel are known to occur within atwo-mile radius of the project study area. Proposed project construction will not impact this species. Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxit) Federal Status: Endangered Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hau-y shrub, with erect stems from one to three feet in height. The compound ]eaves contain evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate leaflets. Most plants are unisexual; however, more recent observations have revealed plants with both male and female flowers on one plant. The flowers are small, borne in a terminal, erect, dense cluster, and colored greenish yellow to white. Flowering usually occurs from June to July; while the fruit, a red drupe, is produced through the months of August to October. Only 36 extant populations are known, with 31 in North Carolina, three in Virginia, and two populations in Georgia. Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils. It spreads by producing cloning shoots from the roots of mature plants. Apparently, this plant survives best in areas where some form of periodic disturbance provides open areas. At least twelve of the plant's populations in North Carolina are on highway rights-of-way, roadsides, or on the edges of artificially maintained clearings (USFWS 1993). Biological Conclusion: No Effect Suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac consisting of sandy or rocky open woods or open areas of periodic disturbance is present in the project study area. The project study area is dominated by are clayey textured, thickly vegetated areas. However, there are several locations throughout the subject property that contain more rocky soils that contain significantly less vegetation. These areas tend to be along the existing dirt roads, sewer line easements, as well as areas that were formerly used for logging decks. A plant by plant survey for Michaux's sumac was conducted by Mr. Tom Barrett and Mr. Scott Hunt, PF within the project study area on May 2, 2006 for approximately 8 man-hours. NCNHP maps were reviewed on June 14, 2006 to determine if any protected species have been identified at or near the project study area. 'T'his map review confirmed that no populations of Michaux's sumac are known to occur within atwo-mile radius of the project site. Proposed project construction will not impact this species. CONCLUSIONS Mulkey conducted a survey for federally protected threatened and endangered species during May 2006 on the "Aardvark" property in Holly Springs, Wake County, North Carolina. '1"he subject property consists primarily of mixed pine/hardwood forest with several well-maintained dirt roads. During the protected species investigation, suitable habitat was only observed for 1Vlichaux's sumac (Rhr~.r michaua~ii). Michaux's sumac grows on rocky upland areas that receive full sunlight and contain little vegetative competition. Suitable habitat exists within the subject property at areas along the existing dirt roads throughout the subject property, especially at former logging deck locations. A plant by plant Burney was conducted for Michaux's sumac within the subject property; however, no individuals were found. REFERENCES Moser, G. Andrew. 1993.
