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 30, 2017 provides a BC of May Affect, 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 30, 2017 provides a BC of May Affect, 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 30, 2017 provides a BC of
May Affect, Likely to Adversely Affect for this species.

Atlantic pigtoe (listed as Proposed): Atlantic pigtoe has been collected approximately 1.1 river miles downstream on
Sandy Creek (July 27, 2017 by unidentified person). However, the mussel survey conducted on March 30, 2017 at the
site and within the survey footprint did not result in any observation of this species. Biological Conclusion of May
Affect, Likely to Adversely Affect for this species due to distance to known downstream population.
Michaux's sumac: Survey conducted in suitable habitat on October 27, 2016 did not result in any observations of this
plant. A BC of No Effect is provided for Michaux's sumac.
