4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to provide reuse water to UNCC for use by their chiller facilities and for irrigation of athletic fields. Due to multiple projects within the same corridor on the
UNCC campus, the project described herein is Phase I and will stop prior to the UNCC property.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Approximately 1.9 miles of reuse line will be installed along Mallard Creek. Most of the pipe will be installed using open cut techniques. The pipe crossing at Highway 29 will be installed
via jack and bore with the pipe encased in a steel casing pipe and an existing pipe casing will be used to install the pipe under East Mallard Creek Church Road. A majority of the new
reuse line will be installed within wooded, undeveloped areas and portions of the project will cross or parallel existing easements that contains a maintained corridor and an active
transmission line.
Mallard Creek will be traversed three times and six unnamed tributaries to Mallard Creek will be crossed once each by the pipe. Portions of four wetlands will be traversed by the reuse
line. Crossing of the streams and wetlands by the pipe will not result in loss of jurisdictional waters of the U.S.; however, conversion of forested wetlands to non -forested wetlands will
occur in a small portion of each wetland traversed by the pipe. Where the project corridor parallels Mallard Creek under the Interstate 485 overpass, the construction corridor extends to
within 10 feet of the top of bank of Mallard Creek due to constraints associated with existing Interstate 485 roadway support structures.
All stream crossings will be performed within 15 degrees of perpendicular and all stream work will be performed in the dry. During construction activities, temporary stone dams will be
placed upstream and downstream of the area of disturbance, and the stream will be pumped around the dammed area. Temporary stream crossing by use of Dragline Mate will be
installed at three of the nine stream crossings during construction and removed upon completion of the pipe installation. Permanent fords will be installed at six of the nine stream
crossings, as required to maintain accessibility to the reuse line for emergency and maintenance activities.
Installation of the permanent fords will consist of excavation of the area in which the ford will be installed with temporary sidecasting of the stream sediments. Articulated open -cell blocks
will be placed within the excavated area to a level that is approximately 6 inches below the existing bed of the stream. Excavated streambed material will be placed over the articulated
open -cell blocks to the elevation of the pre -construction streambed.
Indirect impacts of the project are anticipated to be beneficial. Construction of the project will allow for reuse water to be used by UNCC for chiller facilities and irrigation of athletic fields
instead of using municipal drinking water. Equipment anticipated to be used during the proposed reuse line installation include backhoes, front-end loaders, dump trucks, and cranes.
Boring equipment will be used to install the pipe under Highway 29. Details of proposed activities, such as temporary stream bypass, anti -seep collars, temporary stream crossings and
permanent fords, are provided on the design drawings submitted in conjunction with this permit application.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Avoidance of all impacts is possible only with a no -build alternative, which does not meet the need of the project. During design, the project corridor
was positioned to avoid jurisdictional wetlands, where feasible. Avoidance of the streams within the project corridor is not feasible. Stream crossings
were designed to reduce the limits of disturbance. All crossings are designed to be within 15 degrees of perpendicular. Permanent subsurface fords
were designed to allow access to the pipe corridor while providing for a natural streambed. Design of the project includes placement of anti -seep
collars on the pipe upgradient and/or downgradient of jurisdictional areas, if required.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Impacts to jurisdictional areas during construction will be limited to the extent feasible by performing as much work as is possible from upland areas. In
areas of impact, silt fencing will be placed upgradient of the jurisdictional areas and all construction activity will be performed upgradient of the silt
fencing. All disturbed areas will be returned to original grade and seeded with a native seed mix within 90 days of completion of the project. Swamp
matting will be used where appropriate in wetland areas. Excavation of the pipe trench will be performed as prescribed by the USACE in jurisdictional
areas and side casting of excavated material into abutting wetland areas will be avoided to the extent feasible.

For construction of the Mallard Creek project, blasting and mechanical methods of rock removal is
anticipated. The duration of these operations will be determined upon rock location, depth, and
hardness. It is anticipated that the contractor will perform blasting along the pipe corridor (where
allowed) in the early stages of the project for the full length of the alignment. Areas where rock removal
is required but not allowed, mechanical methods will be used. Refer to the attached Hazen
Specifications 02202 "Excavation By Blasting" for general blasting requirements.

IPaC resource list
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat
(collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS)
jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below. The list
may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be
directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and
extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site-
specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed
activities) information.
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS
office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to each se -on that

Endangered species
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of project
level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species.
Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the
species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a dam
upstream of a fish population, even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly impact
the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move, and site
conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project
area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site-specific and project -specific
information is often required.
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretar
information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of
such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any Federal
agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills this req irement can only be
obtained by requesting an official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see
directions below) or from the local field office directly. N 61

Probability of Presence Summary

Breeds elsewhere
Breeds May 10 to Aug 31
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be
present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities
to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper
Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret thi
report.
Probability of Presence ( )
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in 0 ` d ell(s) your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is re ente s 2 4 -week months.) A
taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. T su e (see below) can be used
to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. O a a higher confidence in the
presence score if the corresponding survey effort i s
How is the probability of presence score c c to e calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for ach ee s culated as the number of survey events in the week
where the species was dete e ivide the total number of survey events for that week. For
example, if in week 12 e re survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of
them, the proba
e of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25.
2. To proper rese the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is
calculated. is is t ` e probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence
across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted
Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week
of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is
0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of
presence score.
To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
Breeding Season ( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its
entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area.
Survey Effort (1)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is
expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.

To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
No Data (—)
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all
years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Tell me more about conservation a res 1 scan implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any
location year roun ImIentation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in
the project area. When bi s may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding
their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be
breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures and/orep rmits may be
advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present
on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCCI and other species that
may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network
(AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding. and citizen science datasets and is queried
and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects,
and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle
(Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not

What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in
my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian
Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science
datasets.
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn
more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of
Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-
round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you
are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird
on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area,
there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated then the
bird likely does not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC)..that_are of concern throughout their range
anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the
continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of
the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain
types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid
and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more
information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and
requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.
Detatls about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird
species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also
offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review.
Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS
Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including
migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird
tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle
Act should such impacts occur.

The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern.
To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project
area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified
location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey
effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high
survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as
more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of
concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which
means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in
knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project
activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about
conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your
migratory bird trust resources page.

Wetlands in the National Wetlands Inventory
Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal statutes.
For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
District.
Please note that the NWI data being shown may be out of date. We are currently working to update our
NWI data set. We recommend you verify these results with a site visit to determine the actual extent of
wetlands on site.

Data limitations
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information
on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery.
Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error is inherent in the use
of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland
boundaries or classification established through image analysis.
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experien e image analysts, the
amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted. Metadata
should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems.
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be
occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and the
actual conditions on site. 1.
Data exclusions CP
Certain wetland habitats are e o he National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery
as the primary data sortrf'th
u d to et ct wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic
vegetation that are fou ' rtidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters. Some
deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These
habitatst eca e otheir depth, go undetected by aerial imagery.
D precautions
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a
different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this
inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the
geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in activities
involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state, or
local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such
activities.
