The original design, prepared by Agri -Waste Technology, Inc., included the use of three culverts in the wetland area to cross West Price Creek for the entrance road to the proposed neighborhood The Lodges at Chapel Hill. The project was placed on hold for a period of time before McKim & Creed became the consultant and redesigned the entrance road to have a 23'x6'1" aluminum box culvert to cross West Price Creek. The project was placed on hold yet again and in 2016 MacConnell & Associates became the consultant and continued with McKim & Creed's design of the 23'x6'1" aluminum box culvert to cross West Price Creek. As of December 2018, the stream crossing has been designed and a CLOMR has been accepted by the Army Corp of Engineers. Currently, the site is raw, wooded land in a low density residential area. 671400 35° 52' 37" N 35° 52'5" N 671400 671500 671600 671700 671800 3 Map Scale: 1:4,760 if printed on A portrait (8.5" x 11") sheet. it Meters N 0 50 100 200 300 Feet 0 200 400 800 1200 Map projection: Web Mercator Comer coordinates: WGS84 Edge tics: LTM Zone 17N WGS84 UsDA Natural Resources Web Soil Survey Conservation Service National Cooperative Soil Survey Soil Map—Orange County, North Carolina 671500 671600 671700 671800 671900 672000 35° 52'37'N 671900 672000 35° 575" N 3 Do 12/11/2018 Page 1 of 3 MAP LEGEND Area of Interest (AOI) 0 Area of Interest (AOI) Soils 0 Soil Map Unit Polygons rwr Soil Map Unit Lines 0 Soil Map Unit Points Special Point Features Vo Blowout Borrow Pit Clay Spot Closed Depression Gravel Pit .14 Gravelly Spot 0 Landfill Lava Flow Marsh or swamp + Mine or Quarry Water Features Miscellaneous Water Perennial Water Streams and Canals Rock Outcrop Saline Spot 4 Sandy Spot Severely Eroded Spot Sinkhole Source of Map: Natural Resources Conservation Service Slide or Slip oa Sodic Spot Soil Map—Orange County, North Carolina MAP INFORMATION USDA Natural Resources Web Soil Survey 12/11/2018 Conservation Service National Cooperative Soil Survey Page 2 of 3 Spoil Area The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at 1:20,000.

It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP will be approved. This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter. If we have not received a copy of the issued 404 PermiV401 CertificationlCAMA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the In Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed at www.nceep.net, Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the following table. Cape Fear Stream (feet) Wetlands (acres) 03030002 Buffer I Buffer II (5q. Ft.) (Sq. Ft.) Cold Cool Warm Riparian Non -Riparian Coastal Marsh Impacts 0 0 65 0.17 0 0 0 0 Credits 0 0 130 0.34 0 0 0 0 Upon receipt of payment, EEP will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. If the regulatory agencies require mitigation credits greater than indicated above, and the applicant wants NCEEP to be responsible for the additional mitigation, the applicant will need to submit a mitigation request to NCEEP for approval prior to permit issuance. The mitigation will be performed in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the N. C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the U. S, Army Corps of Engineers dated November 4, 1998. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Kelly Williams at (919) 716-1921. Sincerely, Wil ' D.

Harrison Ave, Ste. 101 Cary, NC 27513 Re: CLOMR- Installation of Culvert for Stream Crossing— Orange County, NC Dear Mr. Perdue: This letter is to inform you that a list of all federally -protected endangered and threatened species with known occurrences in North Carolina is now available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (Service) web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Therefore, if you have projects that occur within the Raleigh Field Office's area of responsibility (see attached county list), you no longer need to contact the Raleigh Field Office for a list of federally -protected species. Our web page 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), and a list of federal species of concern, that are known to occur in each county in North Carolina. 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 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. I 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. 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. With regard to the above-referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species 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. In addition, we recommend maintaining natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site. 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). 4 We hope you find our web page useful and informative and that following the process described above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for species' lists. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis of this office at (919) 856-4520 ext. 26.
