Special Conditions:
l. In order to compensate for wetland impacts associated with this permit, mitigation shall be provided from
the NCDOT Bryan Boulevard Mitigation Site (U-0608, SAW-1991-00369). The NCDOT will debit 0.23
acre of Riparian Wetland Restoration credits from the site. NCDOT will provide a copy of the ledger to the
Corps of Engineers, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, prior to initiation of permitted wetland impacts.
2. This USACE permit does not authorize you to take a threatened or endangered species, in particular, the
Northern Long-eared Bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis). In order to legally take a listed species, you must
have separate authorization under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) (e.g., a Biological Opinion (BO) under
the ESA, Section 7, with "incidental take" provisions with which you must comply). The U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service's (USFWS's) Programmatic BO titled "Northern Long-eared Bat (NLEB) Programmatic
Biological Opinion for North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Activities in Eastern North
Carolina (Divisions 1-8)," dated March 25, 2015, and adopted on May 4, 2015, contains mandatory terms
and conditions to implement the reasonable and prudent measures that are associated with "incidental take"
that are specified in the BO. Your authorization under this USACE permit is conditioned upon your
compliance with all the mandatory terms and conditions (incorporated by reference into this permit)
associated with incidental take of the BO. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions associated with
incidental take of the BO, where a take of the listed species occurs, would constitute an unauthorized take,
and would also constitute non-compliance with your USACE permit. The USFWS is the appropriate
authority to determine compliance with the terms and conditions of its BO and with the ESA.
