There are no designated Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), High Quality Waters
(HQV�, or water supply watersheds (WS-I or WS-II) within 1.0 mile downstream of the
study area. There are no designated anadromous fish waters or Primary Nursery Areas
(PNA) present in the study area. Greens Mill Run does not appear on the North Carolina
2014 Fina1303(d) list of impaired waters.
One linear stormwater conveyance was delineated within the study area (delineated as
UT6 to Greens Mill Run). This feature was deemed non jurisdictional during the field
verification with USACE and NCDWR.
4.0 BIOTIC RESOURCES
4.1 Terrestrial Communities
Four terrestrial communities were identified in the study area: maintained/disturbed,
mesic mixed hardwood forest (coastal plain subtype), coastal plain bottomland
hardwoods (blackwater subtype), and mesic pine flatwoods. Figure 4 shows the location
and extent of these terrestrial communities in the study area. A brief description of each
December 2016
Natural Resources Technical Report
STIP U-5875, Pitt County, N.C.
community type follows. Scientific names of all species identified are included in
Appendix B.
4.1.1 Maintained/Disturbed
Maintained/disturbed communities include lands in which the vegetation is periodically
mowed, such as roadside shoulders and residential lawns. This community also includes
agricultural fields that support soybean, tobacco, corn, and hay production.
Maintained/disturbed areas are dominant in the study area and are present immediately
alongside the roadway and extend down the fill slope. Within the project area, the
maintained/disturbed community consist primarily of mowed grass and weedy edge
species such as fescue and clover. Included in this type is also ornamental landscape
plantings near churches and housing complexes as well as scattered loblolly pine trees in
residential yards.
4.1.2 Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest (Coastal Plain Subtype)
The mesic mixed hardwood forest community is scattered throughout the study area in
small wooded patches. The community is dominated by sweetgum, water oak, red maple,
and black cherry in both the over- and midstory. The midstory also contained Chinese
privet and raspberry. The herb layer is sparse and only poison ivy and muscadine grape
were observed.
4.1.3 Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods (Blackwater Subtype)
The coastal plain bottomland hardwood community type occurs in two small areas
associated with the larger stream systems in the study area. Dominant species include red
maple, American elm, water oak, willow oak, sweetgum, and loblolly pine. Poison ivy
and muscadine grape were present in the herb layer. Wetland WB is located within the
coastal plain bottomland hardwood community type.
4.1.4 Mesic Pine Flatwoods
Mesic pine flatwoods are present in three small areas on the west side of Allen Road.
This community consists of a loblolly pine overstory. The understory was sparse and
contained sweetgum, red maple, and Chinese privet.
4.1.5 Terrestrial Community Impacts
Terrestrial communities in the study area may be impacted by project construction as a
result of clearing, grading, and paving of portions of the study area. At this time,
decisions regarding the final alignment and design of the proposed project have not been
made. Therefore, community data are presented in the context of total coverage of each
type within the study area (Table 4). Once a final alignment and preliminary design have
been determined, probable impacts to each community type will be calculated.

4.2 Terrestrial Wildlife
Terrestrial communities in the study area are comprised of both natural and disturbed
habitats that may support a diversity of wildlife species (those species actually observed
are indicated with *). Mammal species that commonly exploit forested habitats, wetlands,
and stream corridors found within the study area include species such as eastern gray
squirrel*, gray fox, striped skunk, white-footed mouse, eastern cottontail, raccoon,
Virginia opossum, and white-tailed deer. Birds common to the area include turkey
vulture*, red-shouldered hawk, red-tailed hawk, American robin, northern cardinal,
eastern towhee, American crow*, eastern bluebird, northern mockingbird, Carolina wren,
song sparrow, white-throated sparrow, rock dove, pileated woodpecker, mourning dove,
blue jay, American goldfinch, northern flicker, European starling, and tufted titmouse.
Reptile and amphibian species that may use terrestrial communities located in the study
area include the rough green snake, copperhead, rat snake, eastern box turtle*, eastern
fence lizard, American toad, bullfrog, green anole, gray treefrog, and five-lined skink.
4.3 Aquatic Communities
The aquatic community in the study area consists of portions of iive perennial stream
systems. These streams could support Eastern mosquitofish, largemouth bass, grass carp,
chain pickerel, gizzard shad, bowfin, flathead catfish, various darters, various shiners,
and various sunfish.
4.4 Invasive Species
One species from the NCDOT Invasive Exotic Plant List for North Carolina was found to
occur in the study area. Chinese privet (Threat) is present in the mesic pine flatwoods and
mesic mixed hardwood forest community types. NCDOT will manage invasive plant
species as appropriate.
5.0 JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES
5.1 Clean Water Act Waters of the U.S.

The proposed project has been designated as a State Environmental Assessment (EA)
for the purposes of North Carolina (State) Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)
documentation. A Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 will likely be applicable to the project.
The USACE holds the final discretion as to what permit will be required to authorize
project construction. If a Section 404 permit is required then a Section 401 Water
Quality Certification (WQC) from the NCDWR will be needed.
5.3 Coastal Area Management Act Areas of Environmental Concern
Pitt County is not a designated coastal county in North Carolina, therefore Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA) regulations do not apply.
6 December 2016
Natural Resources Technical Report STIP U-5875, Pitt County, N. C.
5.4 Construction Moratoria
No construction moratoria are expected for the project. In an email dated December 21,
2016 Travis Wilson of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC)
confirmed that WRC would not request an in water work moratorium on the project.
5.5 N.C. River Basin Buffer Rules
The project study area falls within the protection area afforded by the Tar-Pamlico Buffer
Protection Rules. Buffer mitigation requirements were determined during the
jurisdictional determination field verification meeting and are shown in Table 5.
5.6 Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 Navigable Waters
Greens Mill Run has not been designated by the USACE as a Navigable Water under
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act.
5.7 Wetland and Stream Mitigation
5.7.1 Avoidance and Minimization of Impacts
The NCDOT will attempt to avoid and minimize impacts to streams and wetlands to the
greatest extent practicable in designing alternatives. At this time, no final design
decisions have been made.
5.7.2 Compensatory Mitigation of Impacts
The NCDOT will investigate potential on-site stream and wetland mitigation
opportunities once fmal designs have been completed. If on-site mitigation is not feasible,
mitigation will be provided by North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ), Division of Mitigation Services (DMS).
5.8 Endangered Species Act Protected Species
As of March 9, 2015 the United States Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) lists four federally
protected species for Pitt County (Table 7). Additionally, the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) lists the federally endangered Atlantic sturgeon. A brief description of
each species' habitat requirements follows, along with the Biological Conclusion
rendered based on survey results in the study area. Habitat requirements for each species
are based on the current best available information from referenced literature and/or
USFWS.

MA-LAA — May Affect-Likely to Adversely Affect
Red-cockaded woodpecker
USFWS optimal survey window: year round; November-early March (optimal)
Habitat Description: The red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) typically occupies open,
mature stands of southern pines, particularly longleaf pine, for foraging and
nesting/roosting habitat. The RCW excavates cavities for nesting and roosting in
living pine trees, aged 60 years or older, and which are contiguous with pine
stands at least 30 years of age to provide foraging habitat. The foraging range of
the RCW is normally no more than 0.5 miles.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
The study area does not contain any open, mature stands of pine trees. The
majority of the study area is developed or in agriculture and the forested areas in
and near the study area are dense and very fragmented. There is not habitat for
RCW in the study area. A review of NCNHP records, performed by NCNHP staff
on September 7, 2016 indicates no known RCW occurrence within 1.0 mile of the
study area.
West Indian manatee
USFWS optimal survey window: year round
Habitat Description: Manatees have been observed in all the North Carolina coastal
counties. Manatees are found in canals, sluggish rivers, estuarine habitats, salt
water bays, and as far off shore as 3.7 miles. They utilize freshwater and marine
habitats at shallow depths of 5 to 20 feet. In the winter, between October and
April, manatees concentrate in areas with warm water. During other times of the
year habitats appropriate for the manatee are those with sufficient water depth, an
adequate food supply, and in proximity to freshwater. Manatees require a source
of freshwater to drink. Manatees are primarily herbivorous, feeding on any
aquatic vegetation present, but they may occasionally feed on fish.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
The study area is more than 20 miles from any estuarine habitats and does not
contain any streams large enough to support manatee. A review of NCNHP
8 December 2016
Natural Resources Technical Report
STIP U-5875, Pitt County, N.C.
records, performed by NCNHP staff on September 7, 2016 indicates no known
West Indian manatee occurrence within 1.0 mile of the study area.
Tar River spinymussel
USFWS optimal survey window: year round
Habitat Description: The Tar spinymussel is endemic to the Tar and Neuse River
drainage basins in North Carolina. This mussel requires a stream with fast
flowing, well-oxygenated, circumneutral pH water. The bottom should be
composed of unconsolidated gravel and coarse sand. The water needs to be
relatively silt-free, and stream banks should be stable, typically with many roots
from adjacent riparian trees and shrubs.
Biological Conclusion: Undetermined
Habitat availability for Tar River spinymussel will be determined at a later time.
A review of NCNHP records, performed by NCNHP staff on September 7, 2016
indicates no known Tar River spinymussel occurrence within 1.0 mile of the
study area.
Atlantic sturgeon
USFWS/NMFS optimal survey window: surveys not required; assume presence in
appropriate waters
Habitat Description: Atlantic sturgeon spawn in freshwater in the spring and migrate to
estuarine waters where they spend most of their lives. Spawning occurs in
moderately flowing waters in the deep parts of large rivers between the salt front
and fall line of large rivers. They occur in most major river systems along the
eastern seaboard of the United States. The species prefers the near shore marine,
estuarine, and riverine habitat of large river systems. Sub adults and adults live in
coastal waters and estuaries when not spawning, generally in nearshore areas
dominated by gravel and sand substrates. Long distance migrations away from
spawning rivers are common. Large freshwater rivers that are unobstructed by
dams or pollutants are imperative to successful reproduction.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Streams within the study area do not contain suitable habitat for Atlantic sturgeon.
The streams within the study area are all small and slow moving. The study area
is located more than 15 miles from a large river system and more than 30 miles
from estuarine waters. A review of NCNHP records, performed by NCNHP staff
on September 7, 2016 indicates no known Atlantic sturgeon occurrence within 1.0
mile of the study area.
Northern long-eared bat
The USFWS has developed a programmatic biological opinion (PBO) in
conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the USACE, and
NCDOT for the northern long-eared bat (NLEB) in eastern North Carolina. The
PBO covers the entire NCDOT program in Divisions 1-8, including all NCDOT
9 December 2016
Natural Resources Technical Report
STIP U-5875, Pitt County, N.C.
projects and activities. The programmatic determination for NLEB for the
NCDOT program is "May Affect, Likely to Adversely Affect". The PBO
provides incidental take coverage for NLEB and will ensure compliance with
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for five years for all NCDOT projects
with a federal nexus in Divisions 1-8, which includes Pitt County, where STIP
U-5875 is located.
5.9 Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle Protection Act
Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forest in proximity to large bodies
of open water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically
within 1.0 mile of open water.
A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area, as well as the area within a
1.13-mile radius (1.0 mile plus 660 feet) of the project limits, was performed on August
22, 2016 using 2014 color aerials. No water bodies large enough or sufiiciently open to
be considered potential feeding sources were identified. Since there was no foraging
habitat within the review area, a survey of the project study area and the area within 660
feet of the project limits was not conducted. Additionally, a review of NCNHP records,
performed by NCNHP staff on September 7, 2016 indicates no known bald eagle
occurrence within 1.0 mile of the study area. Due to the lack of habitat and known
occurrences, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species.
5.10 Endangered Species Act Candidate Species
As of March 9, 2015, there are no Candidate species listed for Pitt County.
5.11 Essential Fish Habitat
Pitt County is considered an inland county. No Essential Fish Habitat is present in or
within 1.0 mile of the study area.
