Project Description 3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The proposed multi-use trail, located in the Town of Apex in western Wake County, consists of approximately 1.8 miles of asphalt, boardwalk, and concrete greenway trail. The trail will connect to an existing trail section east of Green Level Church Road, and will progress west to connect to the American Tobacco Trail. Existing conditions in the project vicinity include forested floodplain, sewer easements, and recent/ongoing residential development projects. Surrounding land use is primarily residential and forest. Easements have been acquired for the length of the project. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing 2.90 acres within project study area (includes portions of both JD wetlands on the property: areas) 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: Within the study area Perennial stream 103 linear feet Intermittent stream 31 linear feet ' Total stream 134 linear feet 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The greenway will add to the existing western Wake County trail network. This trail section will serve as a vital connection between two existing trail sections. The completion of this greenway project will support bicycle and pedestrian travel between residential and recreational centers creating a well-rounded integrated transportation system. 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The Town of Cary proposes to construct an approximately 1.8-mile greenway along the White Oak Creek corridor which will connect existing greenway at Green Level Church Road with the American Tobacco Trail. The trail will consist primarily of asphalt and boardwalk, with a small section of concrete trail where necessary under the existing Green Level Church Road bridge over White Oak Creek. The greenway will begin at the American Tobacco Trail as a 10-foot wide asphalt trail, and will progress west within Town property, right-of-way, and easements. Seven boardwalks will be utilized over four tributary streams and several wetlands. The location of the proposed trail avoids and minimizes impacts to jurisdictional resources to the maximum extent practicable. Where feasible, boardwalk will be used to further avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional resources. The contractor selected for the project will determine the equipment used on the project. Trail contractors generally use small paving machines and earth moving equipment which results in smaller impacts to the project area than traditional highway construction equipment. Boardwalks will be constructed utilizing a"top down" approach to avoid disturbance to the wetland ground surface during construction. Timber mats will be utilized where temporary access roads are necessary within jurisdictional areas to minimize disturbance. Nationwide Permit 14 General Conditions will be included in the construction documents to direct contractor operations in and around wetlands. Page 3 of 13 PCN Form — Version 1.4 January 2009 4.

Impacts to these municipal buffers are being coordinated by otherAgenbConsultants through the Town of Apex. Page 7 of 13 PCN Form — Version 1.4 January 2009 D. Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. The construction of the White Oak Creek greenway trail will result in no temporary or permanent stream impacts. Permanent wetland impacts are 0.07 acre, and temporary wetland impacts necessary to construct the greenway are 0.19 acre. Buffer impacts are perpendicular where possible. The following measures have been taken to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters: Corridor Alignment — The horizontal corridor alignment was designed to avoid and minimize impacts to wetlands, streams, and buffers to the extent practicable. Trail Design — Sections of trail which cross wetlands and tributaries will be constructed using elevated boardwalk to avoid impacts to these waters. Minimize Stream Crossings - A detailed analysis was perFormed at all proposed stream crossings to identify the best crossing location. This analysis included locating narrow crossing locations and, where feasible, crossing perpendicular to the stream. Boardwalks will be used to cross streams. Minimize Grading — The trail has been designed, to the extent possible, to match existing grade in order to minimize the amount of fill, reducing the overall project footprint, and thus the impacts to jurisdictional resources. Minimize Clearing — Where feasible, the trail has been located within cleared sewer easements, minimizing tree clearing in regulated buffer areas and jurisdictional waters. Stormwater Treatment — All ditches have been designed to outlet as diffuse flow. Erosion Control — Silt fence will be installed along fill slopes and upstream of all wetlands and streams. Tree protection fence will be utilized to demarcate buffer zones in order to maximize protection of riparian areas during construction. Buffer impacts are perpendicular where possible and primarily result from the necessity to construct boardwalk to avoid wetland impacts. The only non-perpendicular buffer impact, at permit drawing Site 8, is the result of the inability to create sharp angles in boardwalk trail segments due to the nature of the material used. Impervious surface in the buffer, especially Zone 1, is minimized to the extent practicable. Boardwalk approach slabs are required at permit drawing Sites 1, 3, and 6. At permit drawing Site 1, riprap stabilization is required to slow water velocity due to the steep 7% slope and drainage area of ditches on either side of the trail through a stream buffer. At permit drawing Site 3, a proposed drainage ditch was designed to collect overland flow from the greenway and offsite areas. A riprap dissipator pad was placed at the end of the ditch to reduce velocity and ensure diffuse flow into the buffer. The ditch was designed to discharge outside both zones of the riparian buffer. At permit drawing Site 8, impervious surface is required in Zone 1 due to the inability to place a boardwalk structure under a NCDOT bridge, the narrow available project area, and flood modeling concerns associated with the elevated boardwalk in a FEMA regulated floodway. For these reasons, concrete trail is shown under and adjacent to the bridge and Green Level Church road ROW. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. The contractor shall be responsible for minimizing impacts through construction techniques. The bid specifications will call for, where possible, hand clearing, the use of construction mats and low impact machines in sensitive areas, and small paving machines. Multiple construction entrances have been provided to minimize heavy equipment trip distances. Nationwide 14 General Conditions will be included in the construction specifications.

If buffer mitigation is required, discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (e.g., payment to private mitigation bank, permittee responsible riparian buffer restoration, payment into an approved in-lieu fee fund). 6h. Comments: No mitigation required. Greenway impacts to riparian buffers are an allowable use within the Cape Fear River basin in the Jordan Lake watershed (15A NCAC 02B.0267). No practical alternatives exist which would accomplish the purpose of the project, and the design and construction avoids and minimizes impacts to the extent practicable.

May 2006 NCDOT PROGRAMMATIC CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION (PCE) ACTION CLASSIFICATION FORM For use by a Local Governncent Agency TIP Project No. U-5530 IB WBS Element 44111.1.F10 Federal Project No. STPDA-0503(32) A. Project Description: The Town of Cary (Town) proposes to constnict an appr•oximately 2.0-mile greenway along the White Oak Creek stream corridor between Green Level Church Road and Wimberly Road, connecting to the American Tobacco Trail. The project will connect the Town's existing White Oak Creek Greenway with the American Tobacco Trail. Trail sections will either follow existing utility easements or will be constructed within upland and floodplain forests. Two spurs are proposed to provide connectivity to a subdivision currently under construction, and an additional spur is proposed to connect Green Level Church Road to the new greenway. The trail is designed as a multi-use bicycling and pedestrian facility. The trail will be constructed as a 10-foot wide asphalt and concrete path, with an aggregate base, and two- foot wide shoulders on either side. 10-foot wide wooden boardwalks will be constructed over wetlands and streams to limit environmental impacts. The trail will cross under Green Level Church Road. The bridge � was recently replaced, and designed to accommodate the firture greenway trail. There is a large berm under the bridge, and vertical clearance is in excess of 9 feet (see photo on attachment 1). The completion of this greenway project will be a very valuable recreational asset to both Apex and Cary residents as it connects neighborhoods to parks and schools and gives the community a scenic place to walk, bike, or run. Please refer to the attached project location figures (attachments 1 and 2). B. Purpose and Need: In 2003 the Town of Cary developed a Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Master Plan. The Plan proposed to improve connectivity as well as provide for the health and well-being of its residents. Since then the town's greenway network has grown to over 62 miles of trails creating an interconnected system weaving through t11e town of Caiy and connecting to adjacent jurisdictions. The 2012 Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources Master Plan Update has been adopted by the Town Council. To determine need the planning effort included a citizen survey which concluded need for additional greenway facilities. Based upon citizen needs a primary goal is "to provide citizens with a highly fitnctional, safe, well-maintained greenway network that provides recreation; transportation, and educational opportunities and wildlife benefits for the Town." The purpose of the White Oak Greenway is to provide a connection within the Cary Greenway network and on a larger regional/state-wade bases a significant missing piece in the East Coast Greenway (ECG). The greenway and trails section of the 2012 Master Plan shows the White Oak Creek Greenway as a proposed segment and part of the larger Umstead Park to American Tobacco Trail greenway corridor. This corridor is also a part of an even more extensive ECG. The ECG begins in Maine and extends along the east coast to Florida. The White Oak Creek Greenway is one of the few remaining missing PCE-100L 1 July 2015 NCDOT PROGRAMMATIC CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION (PCE) ACTION CLASSIFICATION FORM segments on the ECG within Nor[h Carolina. This trail is needed to further the completion of the ECG, an important recreational and economic amenity on the east coast and the interconnectivity of the Cary Greenway network. Additionally, the White Oak Creek Greenway is part of a 14.06 mile long corridor that is within a quar[er mile of 17 pazks, 5 schools, and 99 neighborhoods, and intersects 13 other trails. This project will put the town of Cary a step closer to connecting the highly regazded Umstead Pazk to the American Tobacco Trail both of which are widely used by mm�ers and cyclists for both commuting, and recreational enjoyment. The Town of Cary Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan (2007) also points out that Cary's younger demographic will demand and need more pedestrian facilities such as greenways for recreation and exercise, safer routes to school, and more connections to pazks and librazies.

Special Project Information: Threatened and Endangered Species As of Apri12, 2015, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists five federally protected species for Wake County (Table 1). A brief description of each species' habitat requirements follows, along with the biological conclusion rendered based on survey results in the study area. Habitat requirements for each species are based on the current best available information from referenced literature and/or USFWS. able 1.

The RCW excavates cavities for nesting and roosting in living pine trees, aged 60 years or older, which are contiguous with pine stands at least 30 years of age to provide foraging habitat. The foraging range of the RCW is normally no more than 0.5 miles. A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area was performed in August 2014 using 2013 color aerials. Areas which appeared to be dominated by pine trees were identified as potentially suitable habitat for red-cockaded woodpeckers and targeted for field survey. Field surveys of the study area were conducted on August 21, 2014 and September 3, 2014. Additionally, a review of the NCNHI' database on September 21, 2014 revealed no known occurrences of this species �within 1 mile of the project study area. Visual inspection of the project area determined that areas dominated by pine do not constitute suitable nesting or foraging habitat. No pine stands appear old enough to serve as nesting habitat. Pine stands are entirely loblolly (Pinus taeda), and potentially suitable foraging habitat quality is degraded by dense spacing of trees, tall, dense understory, and lack of herbaceous ground cover. All areas of potentially suitable habitat were traversed on foot by two biologists, and no areas of suitable habitat were identiiied in the field. PCE-100L 5 July 2015 NCDOT PROGRAMMATIC CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION (PCE) ACTION CLASSIFICATION FORM Due to the lack of suitable habitat, the lack of known occun•ences within 1 mile of the study area, and the minimal impact anticipated for this project, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species. Michaux's Sumac (Rlaus michauxia� Habitat Description: Michaux's sumac, endemic to the inner Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont, grows in sandy or rocky, open, upland woods on acidic or circumneutral, well- drained sands or sandy loam soils with low cation exchange capacities. The species is also found on sandy or submesic loamy swales and depressions in the fall line Sandhills region as well as in openings along the rim of Carolina bays; maintained railroad, roadside, power line, and utility rights-of-way; areas where forest canopies have been opened up by blowdowns and/or storm damage; small wildlife food plots; abandoned building sites; under sparse to moderately dense pine or pine/hardwood canopies; and in and along edges of other artificially maintained clearings undergoing nahiral succession. In the central Piedmont, it occurs on clayey soils derived from mafic rocks. The plant is shade intolerant and, therefoc•e, grows best where disturbance (e.g., mowing, clearing, grazing, periodic fire) maintains its open habitat. A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area was performed in September, 2014 using 2013 color aerials. Areas with an open canopy such as utility line rights-of-way, old road beds, forest clearings, and road edges were identified as potentially suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac and targeted for field survey. A field survey of the project shtdy area was conducted on August 21 and September 3, 2014. Additionally, a review of the NCNHP database on September 21, 2014 revealed no known occurrences of this species within 1 mile of the project shidy area. Visual inspection ofthe project area determined that suitable habitat is limited. The majority of the open canopy areas identified by desktop assessment were observed to be generally too moist to support this species. All areas of potentially suitable habitat were traversed on foot by two biologists in search of Michaux's sumac, with the result that no specimens were located. Due to the lack of observed specimens, limited amounts of suitable habitat, the lack of known occurrences within 1 mile of the study area, and the minimal impact anticipated for this project, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species. Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alasmidonta hetero�ton) Habitat Description: In North Carolina, the dwarf wedgemussel is known from the Neuse and Tar River drainages. The mussel inhabits creek and river areas with a slow to moderate current and sand, gravel, or firm silt bottoms. Water in these areas must be well oxygenated. Stream banks in these areas are generally stable with extensive root systems holding soils in place. Shells of the dwarf wedgemussel can be distinguished from other mussels in the area by the presence of two lateral teeth in the right valve. The study area is located in the Cape Fear River basin which is not known to support this species. A review of the NCNHP database on September 21, 2014 revealed no known occurrences of this species within 1 mile of the project st�idy area. The closest known population is located in the Neuse river basin approximately 18 miles from the study area. A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area was performed in September 2014 using 2013 color aerials. One stream in the shidy area, a tributary to White Oak Creek, was identified as potentially large enough to support mussels and was targeted for a cursory field survey. Field surveys of the project study area were conducted on August 21, 2014 and September 3, 2014. No live mussels, shells, or middens were observed during cursory investigations of tributaries within the study area. PCE-100L 6 July 2015 NCDOT PROGRAMMATIC CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION (PCE) ACTION CLASSIFICATION FORM � Northern long-eared bat Habitat Description: In North Carolina, the Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) occurs in the mountains, with scattered records in the Piedmont and coastal plain. In western North Carolina, NLEB spend winter hibernating in caves and mines. Since this species is not known to be a long-distance migrant, and caves and subterranean mines are extremely rare in eastern North Carolina, it is uncertain whether or where NLEB hibernate in eastern North Carolina. During the summer, NLEB roost singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dead trees (typically >3 inches dbh). Males and non-reproductive females may also roost in cooler places, like caves and mines. This bat also been found, rarely, roosting in structures like barns and sheds, under eaves of buildings, behind window shutters, in bridges, and in bat houses. Foraging occurs on forested hillsides and ridges, and occasionally over forest clearings, over water, and along tree-lined corridors. Mature forests may be an important habitat type for foraging. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has developed a programmatic biological opinion (PBO) in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and NCDOT for the NLEB in eastern North Carolina. The PBO covers the entu•e NCDOT program in Divisions 1-8, including all NCDOT projects and activities. The programmatic determination for NLEB for the NCDOT program in Divisions 1-8 is "May Affect, Likely to Adversely Affect." The PBO will provide incidental take coverage for NLEB and will ensure compliance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for five years for all NCDOT projects with a federal nexus in Divisions 1-8, which includes Walce County, where the White Oa1c Creek Greenway (TIP U-5530 IB) is located. BALD AND GOLDEN EAGLE PROTECTION ACT Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) Habitat Description: Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mahire forest in proximity to large bodies of open water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically within 1.0 mile of open water. A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area, as well as the area within a 1.13-mile radius (1.0 mile plus 660 feet) of the project limits, was performed in September 2014 using 2013 color aerials. There are no water bodies large enough and sufficiently open to be considered a potential feeding source within this radius. Because there was no potentially suitable foraging habitat adjacent to the study area, no survey of the project study area was conducted. A review of the NCNHP database on September 21, 2014 revealed no known occurrences of this species within 1.13 miles of the project study area. Due to the lack of suitable foraging habitat, the lack of known occun-ences, and the minimal impact anticipated for this project, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species. National Historic Preservation Act This project has been reviewed by the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, State Historic Preservation Office (NCSHPO). In their response letter dated April 10, 2015, they have reviewed the project and are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project (see attachment 3). PCE-100L 7 July 2015 NCDOT PROGRAMMATIC CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION (PCE� ACTION CLASSIFICATION FORM Right of Way/Easements Much of the project is on Town of Cary property or within the existing right-of-way and a small segment is within NCDOT property however the White Oak Creek Greenway will impact 5 private property owners. The largest impact is on the Toll Brothers property where a planned development is already being constructed. A permanent greenway easement and a wider temporary construction easement will be obtained through this section as part of their development plans with the Town of Apex. On two of the remaining properties the permanent greenway easements will be located inside of an existing sewer easement. All permanent easements are located in open space typically within the 100 year flood boundaries or in wetland areas. The same is true for the temporary construction easements and neither easement will affect any permanent structures.

Dear Mr. Cooper: This letter is in response to your letter of September 26, 2016 which provided the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) with the biologicai conclusions of the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration for federally threatened and endangered species potentially affected by the construction of the White Oak Creek Greenway (TIP No. U-5530 IB) in Cary, Wake County, North Carolina. The following comments are provided in accordance with Section 7 af the Endangered, Species Act (ESA) of i973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). The biologica) conclusion for all federally threatened and endangered species listed in Wake County, with the exception of the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis}, is "no effect". Based on the submitted information and other available information, the Secvice concurs with this conclusion. The 6iolagical conciusian for the northern long-eared bat is "may affect, likely to adversely affect". However, formal Section 7 consultation was previously concluded for this species, and a programmatic biological opinion was issued by the Service to provide incidental take coverage for the species in NCDOT Divisions 1-8. We believe that the requirements of Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA have been satisfied for this project. We remind you that obligations under Section 7 consult�tion 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 in this review; (2) th'ss action is subsequently modifted 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 this identified action. The Service appreciates the opportunity to review this project. If you have any questions regarding our response, please contact Mr. Gary Jordan at (919) 856-4520 (Ext. 32).
