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.
Due to the development and use of the site as a solar farm, access roads and five WoUS crossing are necessary. The road
widths have been designed to the minimal width necessary to safely accommodate heavy equipment and tractor trailers.
Crossings 1, 2 and 3 have been designed to cross in locations of existing culverts, thus minimizing impact to streams and
open water drainage ditches located on the site. The crossings will utilize head/end walls which further minimizes impacts to
streams, wetlands and open water drainage ditches.
The solar array and necessary infrastructure (overhead/underground voltage lines, inverters, etc.) have been designed to
avoid impacts to jurisdictional streams, wetlands and ponds.
There are approximately 3.11 acres of wetlands, 1,640 linear feet of perennial stream channel and 0.85 acres of open water
drainage ditches located on the site. The remaining approximate 3.10 acres of wetlands, 1,610 linear feet of perennial stream
and 0.81 acres of open water drainage ditches are being avoided.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The impact limits will be staked and silt fence will be used. Temporary coffer dams will be installed up-gradient of the
proposed culverts. During construction, water will be pumped around the construction footprints. Appropriate bank protection
will be provided in the channel during construction and all excess excavated material will be immediately removed from the
crossing areas. Upon completion of the culvert installations, the temporary sand bag coffer dams will be removed and flow will
be diverted through the culverts. Following construction, disturbed banks will be restored to similar pre-construction conditions,
matted and seeded/live staked.

Re: Hanover Solar Farm (Additional Area) — Onslow 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 this 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 plan 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.
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).
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,
and other efforts to improve habitat for various species (such as bird houses and bat boxes).
Please note our specific recommendations, below.
Invasive Exotic Species — the Service is concerned with the introduction and spread of invasive
exotic species in association with the proposed project. Without active management, including
the revegetation of disturbed areas with native species, the project area will likely be a source for
the movement of invasive exotic plant species. Exotic species are a major contributor to species
depletion and extinction, second only to habitat loss. Exotics are a factor contributing to the
endangered or threatened status of more than 40 percent of the animals and plants on the Federal
List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants.' it is estimated that at least 4,000 exotic
plant species and 2,300 exotic animal species are now established in the United States, costing
more than $130 billion a year to control. Additionally, the U.S. Government has many
programs and laws in place to combat invasive species (see www.invasivespecies.gov) and thus
cannot spend money to counter these efforts. Specifically, Section 2(a)(3) of Executive Order
13112 Invasive Species (February 3, 1999) directs federal agencies to "not authorize, fund, or
carry out actions that it believes are likely to cause or promote the introduction or spread of
invasive species in the United States or elsewhere," Despite their short-term erosion control
benefits, many exotic species used in soil stabilization seed mixes are persistent once they are
established, thereby preventing the reestablishment of native vegetation. Many of these exotics
plants; are also aggressive invaders of nearby natural areas, where they are capable of displacing
already established native species. Therefore, we strongly recommend that only native plant
species be used in association with all aspects of this project.
Pollinator Recommendations — Although solar energy production is a fast-growing
Renewable energy source that can lessen overall impacts to natural resources when compared to
conventional energy sources (coal, oil, gas, etc.), we believe solar farms can adversely affect
valuable natural resources if they are not properly planned and constructed. impacts to natural
resources from the construction, operation, and maintenance of solar farms include: the removal
of forests and riparian buffers; creation of monotypic habitat; introduction of invasive species;
use of herbicides; creation of large, clear open spaces; and barriers created from fencing.
Recent evidence indicates that pollinators, especially native bees and monarch butterflies, are in
serious decline. Habitat losses and diminished native food sources have decreased the
populations and diversity of pollinators throughout the country. For these reasons, we
recommend that solar facilities be sited in areas that are previously disturbed (fallow fields,
closed industrial sites, etc.) or sites that do not impact mature forests, streams, or wetlands. To
offset the overall impacts of solar facilities and/or to increase the habitat and species diversity
within the solar facility area, we further recommend the following measures be implemented into
project design:
N

Sow native seed mixes with plant species that are beneficial to pollinators throughout the
site. Taller growing pollinator plant species should be planted around the periphery of the
site and anywhere on the site where mowing can be restricted during the summer months.
Taller plants, left un -mowed during the summer, would provide benefits to pollinators,
habitat to ground nesting/feeding birds, and cover for small mammals. Low
growing/groundcover native species should be planted under the solar panels and
between the rows of solar panels. This would provide benefits to pollinators while also
minimizing the amount of maintenance such as mowing and herbicide treatment. Using a
seed mix that includes milk weed species (milk weed is an important host plant for
monarch butterflies) is especially beneficial. The following website provides a
comprehensive list of native plant species that benefit pollinators:
https:Hmail.google.com/mail/u/0/gadvancedsearch/subject=pollinator&subset=all&has=a
nita&within=l d&sizeoperator—s_sl&sizeunit=s_smb/I4f0366dba7d3bda?projector=l .
Additional information regarding plant species, seed mixes, and pollinator habitat
requirements can be provided upon request.
2. Create openings in fencing to allow passage for small mammals and turtles.
3. If possible, the solar field should be designed with open areas spread throughout the
project site and planted and maintained with taller/pollinator friendly plant species. This
practice would benefit pollinators, create diversity throughout the site, and provide much
needed shelter islands to aid in the movement of small mammals and birds.
4. Mitigate for the loss of forested habitat. Though the loss of forested habitat cannot be
fully mitigated when cleared for solar facilities, we believe measures should be
implemented into the design plans to offset the impacts of the project to the greatest
extent practicable. We recommend the construction and placement of bat and bird boxes
throughout the site along with perch poles that are large enough to be used by raptors.
5. Provide nesting sites for pollinator species. Different pollinators have different needs for
nesting sites. Therefore, we recommend designing the solar facility to maintain a diverse
array of habitats to accommodate varied pollinators from hummingbirds to butterflies to
bees. Hummingbirds typically nest in trees or shrubs while many butterflies lay eggs on
specific host plants. Most bees nest in the ground and in wood or dry plant stems. For
additional information and actions that can be taken to benefit pollinators please visit the
following website:
http://www.fws.gov/Pollinators/pollinatorpages/votirticip.html
The Service has established an on-line project planning and consultation process which assists
developers and consultants in determining whether a federally -listed species or designated
critical habitat may be affected by a proposed project. For future projects, please visit the
Raleigh Field Office's project planning website at https://www.fws.g_ov/raleinh/py html. If you
are only searching for a list of species that may be present in the project's Action Area, then you
may use the Service's Information, Planning, and Consultation System (IPaC) website to
determine if any listed, proposed, or candidate species may be present in the Action Area and
generate a species list. The IPaC website may be viewed at https•//ecos.fws.yov/ipac/. The
3

IPaC web site contains a complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and threatened
species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), a list of federal species of concern 3 that are known to occur in each
county in North Carolina, and other resources,

3 The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of
concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation does
not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed for listing as a federally endangered or threatened
species. However, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to
federal species of concern.

Dear Ms. Burley:
The North Carolina Department of Public Safety Division of Emergency Management Risk
Management National Flood Insurance Program (NCNFIP) staff has reviewed the information
provided by Lloyd A. Tyndall, P.E. in support of a No -Rise Certification for proposed road
improvements on Hampshire Road along Grants Creek in Onslow County. The certification is
dated August 3, 2017. It was received in this office on August 3, 2017.
Based on the information provided, the NCNFIP review indicates the report meets the
requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) guidance for a no -rise
certification. The NCNFIP finds no objection to the conclusion of no increase in flood levels as
contained in the certification.
A floodplain development permit will be required prior to starting any site work.
If you have any questions or concerns with the items herein, please contact me at (919) 825-

Location description: The project area is located on the west side of Hampshire Ln, aonroximately 0.65 miles
northeast of its intersection with Belerade-Swansboro Rd., MaysvMe. Onslow County North Carolina.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
X There are waters, including wetlands, on the above described project area, that may be subject to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands, have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently
accurate and reliable. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination maybe used in the permit evaluation process,
including determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation
requirements, and other resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all
waters and wetlands that would be affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional
waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program
Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an
appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
_ There are wetlands on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the
waters, including wetlands, have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be
used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an
effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction overall of the waters, including wetlands, at the project area, which is
not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the
waters of the U.S. on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a
timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area subject to the permit requirements
of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Unless there is a change in the law
or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of
this notification.
There are waters of the U.S. including wetlands on the above described project area subject to the permit requirements of
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ We strongly suggest you have the waters of the U.S. including wetlands on your project area delineated. Due to the
size of your property and/or our present workload, the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a
timely manner. For a more timely delineation, you may wish to obtain a consultant. To be considered final, any
delineation must be verified by the Corps.

_ The waters of the U.S. including wetlands on your project area have been delineated and the delineation has been
verified by the Corps. We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be
reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to
CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be
relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
_ The waters of the U.S. including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat
signed by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on . Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our
published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this
notification.
_ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to
determine their requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US and/or wetlands without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). If you have any questions regarding this
determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Rachel Cavito at 910-251-4487 or
Rachel.A.Caoito(i)usace.armv.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: The proiect area exhibits wetland criteria as described in the 1987 Corps Wetland
Delineation Manual and appropriate Reeional Supplement. The water bodies exhibit ordinary high water marks as
indicated by the absence of veeetation in the stream channel and the presence of bed and bank, sediment deposition
and wrack lines. Site visit by Brennan Dooley 7/6/2016. Desktop review of additional property area by Rachel
Caulto 9/6/2017.
D. Remarks:
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the
particular site identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation
provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation
in USDA programs, you should request a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources
Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the
review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request
and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after
having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when
they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general permit,
and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit applicant is
hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional aquatic
resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and
conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could
possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions;
(3) the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept
a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that
permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary;
(5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without
requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a
permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in
reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that
all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as
jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial
compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court;
and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and
conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed
pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to
make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources
in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is
practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be"
navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in
the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:
