PCN attachment— Brocks Mill Pond PFA
B -3a
Brock's Mill Pond Park is located in Trenton, NC. Brock's Mill Pond is not navigable waters. The parcel is
majority undeveloped. Existing development on the parcel includes a small gravel pullover and a historic
mill building. Across the street from the County's parcel a non-profit group Friends of Brock's Mill has
leased property and constructed a small gravel parking lot. Single family homes are on NC 58 north of
the project location. Other area around the project area is undeveloped and wooded.
To the north of the project, on both sides of NC 58, there are sidewalks into Trenton. The sidewalks end
before reaching the project area.
A wetlands delineation has not been performed on the property. USFWS National Wetlands Inventory
mapping data indicates that the western, wooded part of the property may be Freshwater
Forested/Shrub Wetlands. The area of the property where development is proposed is currently
mowed. A site visit with USACE staff on 2/15/2018 determined there is a fringe wetland approximately
4' -wide around the pond perimeter at the project location. This fringe wetland is characterized by
cypress trees and knees.
B-3 d
The purpose of this project is to provide universally -accessible public fishing access into Brock's Mill
Pond and provide safe pedestrian access to the facility. This project is a partnership between Jones
County and NC Wildlife Resources Commission and will involve additional coordination with NCDOT.
B -3e
The project scope includes installing a floating fishing pier, concrete ADA parking and sidewalks, and
pedestrian route connections to existing sidewalks in Trenton comprised of sidewalks and wood
boardwalk.
The floating fishing pier will be pre -fabricated at NCWRC's prison construction facility in Caswell County
and transported to the site to be installed. An 8'x8'x2' concrete abutment will be constructed at the
shoreline (no fill in pond) and the dock anchored to it.
The ADA parking spaces and sidewalks will be constructed of concrete.
The boardwalk piece of the pedestrian route will be wood decking and pile supported. The piles will be
driven from dry/high ground with a vibratory hammer and matts will be used to protect the cypress
trees and knees. NCDOT will provide traffic control services for a land closure while piles are being
driven.

D -1a
The existing gravel area within the Neuse River Buffer is being redeveloped into the ADA parking and
part of the sidewalks to the greatest extent practical. The fishing pier abutment is sited at a 90 -degree
angle with the shoreline to minimize the impact to wetlands fringe. The pedestrian trail connection into
Trenton was designed partially as a over -water boardwalk to avoid having to cut down any cypress tress
while keeping a safe distance from the existing highway. The fringe wetland is crossed twice by the
boardwalk sections of the pedestrian path and avoids additional wetlands fill.
Part of the sidewalk is unavoidable in the buffer due to the geometry of the parcel. This is minimized by
having the sidewalk be a straight line and only 5' -wide. Zone 1 cannot be entirely avoided because the
sidewalk much reach the water to transition to the boardwalk portion and at the narrowest part of the
parcel there is no area of Zone 2 on this side of the highway.

Good afternoon,
NC Wildlife Resources Commission, in partnerhip with Jones County and Friends of Brock's Mill, are proposing
construction of a new public fishing pier on Brock's Mill Pond in Trenton, Jones County. Attached is a project map, draft
site plan, and picture of the historic mill on the property.
The scope of work includes installing a new floating fishing pier, constructing ADA parking and sidewalks, and
constructing a section of wood boardwalk over water connecting sidewalk segments.
All development is over 150' away from the historic mill and all partners believe the project will not adversely impact the
mill. Please provide any comments about this historical resource near the project.
Thank you,
Sara

IPaC resource list
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat (collectively referred to as trust resources)
under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS)jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below.
The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be directly or indirectly affected by
activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires
gathering additional site-specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities)
information.
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined
project area. Please read the introduction to each section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI
Wetlands) for additional information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that section.

Endangered species
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of project level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species. Additional areas of influence (AOI) for
species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that
area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a fish population, even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by
reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not
guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site-specific and project -
specific information is often required.
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary information whether any species which is listed
or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed
by any Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills this requirement can only be obtained by requesting an
official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see directions below) or from the local field office directly.
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website and request an official species list by doing
the following:
1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE.
2. Click DEFINE PROJECT.
3. Log in (if directed to do so).
4. Provide a name and description for your project. \0
5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.
Listed species -1 are managed by the Ecological Services Program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or
warrant special attention in your project location. To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this list is generated,
see the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location, nor a guarantee that every bird on this list will be found in your
project area. To see maps of where birders and the general public have sighted birds in and around your project area, visit E -bird tools such as
the E -bird data mapping tool (search for the name of a bird on your list to see specific locations where that bird has been reported to occur
within your project area over a certain timeframe) and the E -bird Explore Data Tool (perform a query to see a list of all birds sighted in your
county or region and within a certain timeframe). For projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing the
relative occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list are available. Links to additional information about Atlantic Coast birds, and
other important information about your migratory bird list can be found below.
For guidance on when to schedule activities or implement avoidance and minimization measures to reduce impacts to migratory birds on your
list, click on the PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE SUMMARY at the top of your list to see when these birds are most likely to be present and
breeding in your project area.

The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be present in your project area. This information
can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds.
Probability of Presence ( )
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in your project's counties during a particular week of the year. (A year is
represented as 12 4 -week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to
establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort
hftps://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/location/KDLUSAYSPNGSZNT427HISZNHH U/resources
3/6

2/21/2018 IPaC: Explore Location
is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided
by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was
found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of
presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20
for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative
probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall
between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score.
To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
Breeding Season ( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars
shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area.
Survey Effort (1)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the cound of
your project area. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
No Data (—)
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information.

Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these
measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any
active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project
area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures and/or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and
the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCCI and other species that may warrant special attention in your project
location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKNI. The AKN data is based on a growing
collection of survey, banding. and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the counties which your
project intersects, and that have been Identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may
apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your
project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the E -bird Explore Data Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location.
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian KnowledgeNetworkil6KN). This data is derived
from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets.
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence
graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following
resources: The The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird entry on your migratory bird species list indicates a breeding season, it is probable that the bird breeds in your
project's counties at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the
Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2 "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC -Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the E A requirements (for eagles) or (for
non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this
list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize
migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area offthe
Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in
your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical
Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may
not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, seethe Diving Bird Stud v and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or
Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain aep rmit to avoid violating the BGEPA should such impacts occur.

Wetlands in the National Wetlands Inventory
Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, or other
State/Federal statutes.
For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District.
This location overlaps the following wetlands:
FRESHWATER FORESTED/SHRUB WETLAND
PF06F
FRESHWATER POND
Pel BHh
A full description for each wetland code can be found at the National Wetlands Inventory website: https://ecoS.fws.gov/ipac/wetlands/decoder
Data limitations
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information on the location, type and size of these
resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A
margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or
classification established through image analysis.
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and
the amount of ground truth verification work conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping
problems.
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be occasional differences in polygon boundaries or
classifications between the information depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site.
Data exclusions
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect
wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal
waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go
undetected by aerial Imagery.
Data precautions
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a different manner than that used in this inventory.
There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to
establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in activities involving modifications within or
adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state, or local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary
jurisdictions that may affect such activities.
