E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
No
1,109 259
(square feet) (square feet)
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:*
Due to the development and use of the site as a solar farm, access roads must be constructed to provide access
to the site during construction and long term maintenance of the site as a solar farm. The road widths has been
designed to the minimal width necessary to safely accommodate heavy equipment and tractor trailers.
The solar array and necessary infrastructure (overhead/underground voltage lines, inverters, etc.) have been
designed to avoid impacts to jurisdictional streams, wetlands and ponds.
The remaining 0.09 acres of open water drainage ditches and approximately 2,250 linear feet of perennial stream
channel are being avoided. Additionally, 7.50 acres of wetlands are being avoided.
1b. 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 channels 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.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?

2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Based upon proposed impact amounts, mitigation is not proposed.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
*** Recent changes to the stormwater rules have required updates to this section .***

1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection
Rules?
r Yes f No
1b. All buffer impacts and high ground impacts require diffuse flow or other form of stormwater treatment. If the project is subject to a
state implemented riparian buffer protection program, include a plan that fully documents how diffuse flow will be maintained.
All Stormwater Control Measures (SCM)s must be designed in accordance with the NC Stormwater Design Manual. Associated
supplement forms and other documentation shall be provided.
What type of SCM are you providing?
F Level Spreader
rJ Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
r- Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)

Re: Everetts Solar Farm— Martin County, NC
Dear Ms. 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).
The proposed project may affect the Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotic septentrionalis). Since the
proposed project site is greater than 150 feet from a known roost tree and your project does not
require prohibited intentional take, your project has met the criteria for the 4(d) rule. Any associated
take is therefore exempt. Based on the information provided and other information available, it
appears that the proposed action is not likely to adversely affect any other 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 contro12. 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:
2

I . 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:

nita&within= l d&sizeoperator=s_sl&sizeunit=s_smb/ 14fo366dba7d3 bda?prof ector= 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:

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.Pov/raleiph/pp.html. This
website also has information on the Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) and the
process for correctly making a determination for that species. 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 (IPaQ 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.gov/ipac/. The 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 concern3 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.
