Seep B North has flow but just downstream, approximately 20 yards, it flows underground. There are multiple seeps in the channel side
slopes about the ordinary high water mark. These are likely jurisdictional wetlands, but the higher stream terrace immediately adjacent is
well drained. Approximately 30 yards upstream, the channel is very deeply incised and may have been channelized at some point.
Chemours Water Flow Monitoring
Seep B North facing upstream has a well-developed channel at this flume location (facing north).
Seep B North channel facing downstream (facing south). Notice that some wetland plants, primarily
lizard’s tail (Saururus cernuus), are above the OHWM growing in seep water from the adjacent uplands

Seep C is located just south of the access road near the outfall to the Cape Fear River. A large seep enters the channel just downstream of
the flume location.
Chemours Water Flow Monitoring
Seep C facing upstream showing a well-defined channel that is suitable for the flume location (facing
north).
Seep C stream channel facing downstream (facing southeast). Notice that seep water is emerging from
the adjacent hillside (right) and wetland plants are dominant, including bald cypress and lizard’s tail. The
flume location is approximately 30 feet upstream from the wetlands.
Chemours Water Flow Monitoring
Typical upland soil near Seep C that was well-drained. This soil sample was taken approximately 20 feet
up slope from the wetland soil shown below.
Typical wetland soil found in the seeps near the Cape Fear River floodplain. Long-term groundwater
interaction is the primary reducing condition, but infrequent backwater flooding from the Cape Fear
River also contributes to the area hydrology and reducing soil conditions.
Cultural Resources Summary
Cultural Resources Assessment for Flume Locations along the Cape Fear Floodplain, Chemours
Fayetteville Works, Bladen County, North Carolina
No cultural resources investigations have been conducted along the Cape Fear floodplain east of the
Chemours Fayetteville Works and no archaeological sites have been recorded. Limited archaeological
investigations have been conducted in Bladen and southern Cumberland Counties.
Prehistoric archaeological sites recorded in the general vicinity include small lithic and ceramic scatters
associated with Archaic and Early, Middle, and Late Woodland period occupations located on several
different types of landforms including along the bluff edges of the Cape Fear River, near drainage
divides, and upland areas which may or may not be associated with Carolina Bays. Most of these sites
represent limited occupations with little research potential to be considered eligible for listing on the
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). To date, no prehistoric archaeological sites have been
identified on the floodplain or bluff slopes along the Cape Fear River. Archaeological site probability is
expected to be low as this area has undergone extensive flooding and erosional episodes and any
archaeological sites are expected to be heavily disturbed. The probability for intact prehistoric
archaeological sites with research potential to address NRHP eligibility criteria is considered low.
Historic archaeological sites recorded in the general vicinity include late 19th and early 20th century
historic debris scatters (architectural and domestic debris). These sites represent dispersed scatters with
little research potential to be considered eligible for listing on the NRHP. During the site visit in February
2019, several types of historic features were observed on the floodplain of the Cape Fear River and bluff
slopes: short segments of rusted and partially downed fence lines, an old road bed, irrigation ditches,
and several isolated glass bottles. Based on the archival research and archaeological observation, no
historic buildings or structures were located on the floodplain; however, this area was used by local
landowners as evidenced by the presence of the old road, the ditches, and the fencelines. The
probability for intact historic archaeological sites with research potential to address NRHP eligibility
criteria is considered low.
The proposed locations of the flumes on the Cape Fear River floodplain occur at the base of the bluff
slope and cross cut the incised drainages. The flumes will be installed within the drainages and will not
impact the drainage banks or adjacent floodplain areas. No archaeological sites are expected to occur
within the drainages where the flumes will be located.

contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
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
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.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://

Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
of this office at john_ellis@fws.gov.

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 9 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheries , as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.
