PROTECTED SPECIES INFORMATION
Northern lon� eared bat: BC of May Affect, Likely to Adversely Affect based on programmatic biological opinion with
the FHWA, NCDOT and USACE that allows for incidental take for NLEB for projects with a federal nexus in Division 5.
Dwarf wedgemussel: Use of the Programmatic Biological Opinion for Bridge and Culvert
Replacements/Repairs/Rehabilitations in Eastern North Carolina, NCDOT Divisions 1-8 (June 13, 2018) and a mussel
survey on March 20, 2017 provides a BC of May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect for this species.
Tar River spinvmussel: Use of the Programmatic Biological Opinion for Bridge and Culvert
Replacements/Repairs/Rehabilitations in Eastern North Carolina, NCDOT Divisions 1-8 (June 13, 2018) and a mussel
survey on March 20, 2017 provides a BC of May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect for this species.
Yellow lance: Use of the Programmatic Biological Opinion for Bridge and Culvert Replacements/Repairs/Rehabilitations
in Eastern North Carolina, NCDOT Divisions 1-8 (June 13, 2018) and a mussel survey on March 20, 2017 provides a BC of
May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect for this species.
Atlantic pi�toe (listed as Proposed Threatened): The Atlantic pigtoe was not collected during the Marcy 20, 2017 survey.
However, it has been identified at the bridge site in the recent past (based on NHP data explorer information indicating
EO Identification number 18739). The Department proposes at this time to follow prolect commitments outlined in

the mussel PBO (see above information). The proiect currently has a let date of June 27, 2019. Accordin�ly, we hope
that in-stream construction activities will be completed prior to the likely listin� of the Atlantic pi�toe as Threatened
(not to occur prior to October 11, 2019).
Michaux's sumac: Survey conducted in suitable habitat on July 17, 2017 did not result in any observations of this plant.
A BC of No Effect is provided for Michaux's sumac.
