D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
Due to the development and use of the site as a solar farm, a road must be constructed to provide access to the site during
construction and long term maintenance of the site as a solar farm The solar array and necessary infrastructure
(overhead/underground voltage lines, inverters, etc) have been designed to avoid impacts to the remaining open waters.
There are approximately 0 10 acres of open waters on the site The remaininig 0.09 acres of open waters are being avoided.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The disturbance limits will be staked and silt fence will be used. A temporary coffer dam will be installed upgradient of the
proposed culvert During construction, water will be pumped around the construction footprint Appropriate bank protection
will be provided in the channel during construction and all excess excavated material will be immediately removed from the
crossing area and stockpiled in upland areas Upon completion of the culvert installation, the temporary sand bag coffer dams
will be removed and flow will be diverted through the culvert Following construction, disturbed banks will be restored to
similair pre -construction conditions, matted and seeded/live staked

Re: Alexis Solar Farm -- Lenoir County, NC
Dear Mrs. Carston:
This letter is in response to your request for information on your proposed solar project, listed
above. Our comments are submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the
Endangered Species Act (the 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 Chis 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 pian 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. We recommend maintaining natural,
vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site,
In addition, we encourage the use of natural vegetation management practices (such as sheep
grazing) and the planting or seeding of native pollinator plant species where possible on the site.
If you are interested in pursuing these and other efforts to improve habitat for various species
(such as bird houses and bat boxes), please feel free to contact us.

In general, the Service recommends that`solar facilities be sited in areas that are previously
disturbed, or sites that do not impact mature forest, wetlands, or streams. 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).
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Kathy Matthews of this office at (919)
856-4520 ext. 27.
Sincerely,
4., -Pete Benjamin
Field Supervisor
