RE: FEgh Hill Boating Access Area — Site Renovation
To Whom It May Concern,
The NC Wildlife Resources Commission is proposing the renovation of our existing boating access area known as
High Hill. The site has an existing gravel parking area and a concrete boat ramp providing boater access to the
Lumber River near Lumberton in Robeson County. The proposed project will reconfigure the gravel parking
area, add a concrete ADA compliant parking area, remove and replace the concrete boat ramp, and add a floating
dock. We are submitting for 401 approval under Water Quality General Certification No. 4085 to correspond to
the NWP 36 & RGP 56 which we are requesting 404 approval under.

RE: FEgh Hill Boating Access Area — Site Renovation
Dear Ms. Capito,
Per our preliminary correspondence and site meeting I am hereby submitting a PCN Form seeking approval
under Nationwide Permit 36 and Regional General Permit 56 for construction of a new boat ramp and floating
dock at the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission's existing boating access area known as High Hill.
The site has an existing gravel parking area and a concrete boat ramp providing boater access to the Lumber River
near Lumberton in Robeson County. The proposed project will reconfigure the gravel parking area, add a
concrete ADA compliant parking area, remove and replace the concrete boat ramp, and add a floating dock.
We request an exemption for the boat ramp to exceed the limits set forth in NWP 36 - Regional Condition 4.1.1
such that the ramp will extend greater than 20'waterward from the ordinary high water mark. The proposed
ramp is located at an indent in the streambank and as such there is approximately 100' from end of ramp/dock to
opposite bank which is approximately 90% of the average stream width of 110'.
We also request an exemption for the floating dock to exceed the 6'maximum. width set by GP 56 — Special
Condition e. WRC has found that an 8' wide floating dock is required to provide safety and stability in an
accessible public boating access area.
Enclosed for your review are the following:

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Proposed improvements located such that there will be no disturbance to wetlands on site. Additionally proposed ramp and dock located in close
proximity to existing ramp to limit obstruction of channel and disturbance of streambed.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Concrete boat ramp will be poured and allowed to cure away from the stream and will be pushed into place rather than pouring near the water.
Erosion control practices will be followed including installation of a turbidity curtain to limit stream disturbance to the area immediately adjacent to the
existing and proposed ramps. Additionally silt fence will be used both to prevent silt from leaving the site but also to prevent inadvertent disturbance of
wetlands during construction.

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-lPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
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

05/12/2017 Event Code: 04EN2000-2017-E-01348
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
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.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan
(http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/eagle�_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects
should follow the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergyo for minimizing
impacts to migratory birds and bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at:
http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues4lazards/towers/towers.htm;
http://www.towerkill.com; and

turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
