RE: Protected Species Assessment
Buckingham Road Culvert Replacement
Durham, Durham County, NC
To Whom It May Concern,
PROTECTED SPECIES ASSESSMENT > DUR-18000
McAdams conducted a protected species assessment for the proposed replacement of a culvert on Buckingham
Road along an unnamed tributary to Third Fork Creek in support of an anticipated application for a Section 404
Clean Water Act permit. The City of Durham proposes to replace a culvert which passes underneath Buckingham
Road. The culvert allows the unnamed tributary to run underneath the road.
To plan and design this culvert replacement, a project study area approximately 0.44 acres in size was identified.
Figure 1 depicts the location of the project study area on the US Geological Survey (USGS) Southwest Durham, NC
7.5-minute quadrangle topographic map. Figure 2 shows the location of the project study area on the Web Soil
Survey map. Cartecay and Chewacla soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, frequently flooded map unit occupies much of the
study area. The project area consists primarily of the forested floodplain of the unnamed tributary to Third Fork
Creek.
On July 5, 2019, McAdams used the US Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC)
website to obtain a list of threatened and endangered species that may occur in the proposed project location and/or
may be affected by the proposed project. This process generates an Official Species List that is shown in Table 1. No
Critical Habitats were identified within or within the vicinity of the project area. The Official Species List was updated,
and a list of natural heritage resources was obtained from the NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on July 5, 2019.
No records for rare species, important natural communities or natural areas were identified within the project study
area. Conservation/managed areas are also absent within the project study area.
Information regarding the appearance and habitatfor each species identified were compiled. McAdams staff routinely
visits the NC Botanical Garden to observe protected species identified on Official Species Lists during different stages
of their life cycle including into senescence. On July 12, 2019, a McAdams staff member conducted a reconnaissance
of the project area. Photographs taken during the field survey are provided in the attached Stream Habitat
Photographs.

Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) — Threatened
Biological Opinion: No Effect
"Appearance: The northern long-eared bat is a medium-sized bat with a body length of 3 to 3.7 inches but a
wingspan of 9 to 10 inches. Their fur color can be medium to dark brown on the back and tawny to pale -brown on
the underside. As its name suggests, this bat is distinguished by its long ears, particularly as compared to other bats
in its genus, Myotis."
"Winter Habitat: Northern long-eared bats spend winter hibernating in caves and mines, called hibernacula. They
use areas in various sized caves or mines with constant temperatures, high humidity, and no air currents. Within
hibernacula, surveyors find them hibernating most often in small crevices or cracks, often with only the nose and
ears visible."
"Summer Habitat: During the summer, northern long-eared bats roost singly or in colonies underneath bark, in
cavities or in crevices of both live trees and snags (dead trees). Males and non -reproductive females may also roost
in cooler places, like caves and mines. Northern long-eared bats seem to be flexible in selecting roosts, choosing
roost trees based on suitability to retain bark or provide cavities or crevices. This bat has also been found rarely
roosting in structures, like barns and sheds." (USFWS 2018a)
Northern long-eared bat is not listed on the USFWS Durham County list.
Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni) — Proposed Threatened
Biological Opinion: No Effect
"Appearance: The shell of the Atlantic pigtoe is a chunky, rhombus shape, like that of a pig's hoof/toe. There is a
distinct posterior ridge. The outer surface of the shell is yellow to dark brown and parchment -like, while the inner
layer is iridescent blue to salmon, white, or orange. Although larger specimens exist, the Atlantic pigtoe rarely
exceeds 2 inches in length. Young individuals may have greenish rays across the entire shell surface. When collected
fresh, the interior surface (nacre) in the shell tends to be salmon colored and sometimes iridescent. Atlantic pigtoe

has interlocking hinge "teeth" on the inside of the shell to help keep the two valves in proper alignment." (USFWS
2018)
"Habitat: The preferred habitat of the Atlantic pigtoe is coarse sand and gravel, and rarely in silt and detritus.
Historically, the best populations existed in small creeks to larger rivers with excellent water quality, where flows
were sufficient to maintain clean, silt -free substrates." (USFWS 2018b)
McAdams staff provided photographs of the project area and stream substrate to Emily Wells, USFWS requesting
guidance whether this stream would be suitable habitat for the Atlantic pigtoe. In the attached email on July 15,
2019, Ms. Wells indicated that suitable habitat is not present in the project area.
Smooth Coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) — Endangered
Biological Opinion: No Effect
"Description: Smooth coneflower is a perennial herb in the Aster family (Asteraceae) that grows up to 3.3 feet tall
from a vertical root stock. The large elliptical to broadly lanceolate basal leaves may reach eight inches in length and
three inches in width and taper into long petioles toward the base. They are smooth to slightly rough in texture. The
stems are smooth, with few leaves. The mid -stem leaves are smaller than the basal leaves and have shorter petioles.
Flower heads are usually solitary. The rays of the flowers (petal -like structures) are light pink to purplish in color,
usually drooping, and 2 to 3.2 inches long. Flowering occurs from late May through mid -July and fruits develop from
late June to September. The fruiting structures often persist through the fall. Reproduction is accomplished both
sexually (by seed) and asexually (by rhizome).
"Habitat: Smooth coneflower is typically found in open woods, glades, cedar barrens, roadsides, clearcuts, dry
limestone bluffs, and power line rights -of -way, usually on magnesium and calcium rich soils associated with
amphibolite, dolomite or limestone (in Virginia), gabbro (in North Carolina and Virginia), diabase (in North Carolina
and South Carolina), and marble (in South Carolina and Georgia). Smooth coneflower occurs in plant communities
that have been described as xeric hardpan forests, diabase glades or dolomite woodlands. Optimal sites are
characterized by abundant sunlight and little competition in the herbaceous layer. Natural fires, as well as large
herbivores, historically influenced the vegetation in this species' range. Many of the herbs associated with Smooth
coneflower are also sun -loving species that depend on periodic disturbances to reduce the shade and competition of
woody plants." (USFWS 2017b)
On July 12, 2019, a McAdams staff member conducted a reconnaissance of the project area. The project area is
primarily forested except for stream bank areas that were recently graded and stabilized. Suitable habitat nor
smooth coneflower were observed. NCNHP data from July 2019 indicates no documented occurrences of smooth
coneflower within one mile of the project study area.

'J WADAMS PROTECTED SPECIES ASSESSMENT > DUR-18000
Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxii) — Endangered
Biological Opinion: No Effect
"Description: Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy shrub, with erect stems from one to three feet in
height. The compound leaves contain evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate leaflets. Most plants are
unisexual; however, more recent observations have revealed plants with both male and female flowers on one
plant. The flowers are small, borne in a terminal, erect, dense cluster, and colored greenish yellow to white.
Flowering usually occurs from June to July, while the fruit, a red drupe, is produced through the months of August to
October." (USFWS 2017a)
"Habitat: Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils. Apparently, this
plant survives best in areas where some form of disturbance has provided an open area" (USFWS 2017a). Although
the USFWS website states that Michaux's sumac grows in open woods in association with basic soils, the species
recovery plan states that the species grows in "open woods on acidic soils with low cation exchange capacity"
(USFWS 1993).
On July 12, 2019, a McAdams staff member conducted a reconnaissance of the project area. The project area is
primarily forested except for stream bank areas that were recently graded and stabilized. Suitable habitat nor
Michaux's sumac were observed. NCNHP data from July 2019 indicates no documented occurrences of Michaux's
sumac within one mile of the project study area.
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
The bald eagle is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, and enforced by the USFWS. Habitat
for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forests 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 1.0-mile radius of the project limits,
was performed on July 22, 2019 using the latest color imagery from Durham GO maps. No water bodies large
enough or sufficiently 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 the NHP database on July 5, 2019 revealed no known occurrences of
this species within 1.0 mile of the project study area. Due to the lack of habitat, known occurrences, and minimal
impact anticipated for this project, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species
Conclusions/Recommendations
Federally Threatened or Endangered species nor suitable habitat were observed during the field survey conducted
by McAdams. A biological opinion of "no effect" was determined for northern long-eared bat, Atlantic pigtoe,

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
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

07/05/2019 Event Code: 04EN2000-2019-E-02672 2
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/CurrentBirdlssues/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 atjohn—[e-mail].

RE: Buckingham Road Culvert Replacement; DUR-18000
Dear Alec Pierzga:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.aov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water Management Trust Fund
easement, or Federally -listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at [e-mail] or 919-707-8603.

Thanks Kelly. Based on the lack of state listed species or any other species in our database, the rip rap, the small size of
the stream and mostly sand substrate, I would not think this reach would qualify as suitable habitat.
Thank you,

Thank you for your response, Emily. I apologize for not being more specific about the proposed impacts. I've attached
our impact map for your reference. There is a bank stabilization impact that extends 33 If upstream of the culvert and a
