Lines 448 & 449 Project I Sensitive Species Habitat Assessment Report
1 Project Background
1.1 General Overview
Mott MacDonald, on behalf of Piedmont Natural Gas (Piedmont), conducted habitat -level assessments
concurrently with wetland and waterbody field delineation surveys from June 17-27, 2018, November 2-3,
2018, and from January 28-31, 2019 to identify potential suitable habitat for protected species under federal
and/or state protection present within the environmental survey corridor developed for the proposed Lines
448 and 449 Project (Project). The Project is located within Sampson County, North Carolina.
The field survey area for the proposed Lines 448 and 449 consisted of a typical 150 -foot -wide survey
corridor developed to provide 50 -feet on the non -working side and 100 -feet on the working side of the
proposed pipeline, a 50 -foot -wide corridor centered on proposed access roads, and additional area as
needed to capture proposed facility site footprints, extra workspace areas for anticipated horizontal
directional drill (HDD) crossings, road crossings, and foreign pipeline crossings; for a survey area of 786.48
acres. The field survey area for the proposed Lines 448 and 449 Project is known in this report as the
Project Study Area (PSA). An overview map showing the location of the proposed Project is provided as
Figure 1.1-1.
The following sections of this report describe the Project's purpose and need, location, and land
requirements; include a discussion of the methods used to identify potential suitable habitat for protected
species in the vicinity of the Project, and provide the results of the surveys performed within the PSA.
Table 2.1-1 lists federally protected species occurring within Sampson County, North Carolina per
information available from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Environmental Conservation Online
System.' There are three federally listed species occurring within Sampson County, North Carolina with
potential to occur near the Project. Piedmont is coordinating with state agencies regarding state listed
protected species and potential habitat within the PSA.
Descriptions of survey methodologies are described in Section 2 of this report. The habitat -level survey
results for the PSA are presented in Section 3 of this report. Habitat impacts resulting from the proposed
Project construction and operation are summarized in Section 4.
1.2 Project Description
Piedmont Natural Gas is proposing to construct and operate two natural gas pipelines to replace portions
of Lines 37 and 38 on their existing natural gas system, located in Sampson County, North Carolina. The
Project includes:
Line 448
Installation of approximately 21.8 miles of new 12 -inch diameter steel pipeline
Line 449
Installation of approximately 9.8 miles of new 6 -inch diameter steel pipeline
Land requirements for construction and operation of the Project are provided in Table 1.2-1. Figure 1.1-2
in Appendix A illustrates the location of the PSA and proposed alignment and facilities on 1:24,000 U.S.

' Includes all proposed new permanent easement for the project.
2 Includes all existing permanent easement within the limit of construction for the project
3 Includes all temporary workspace required for construction.
1.3 Purpose and Need
The purpose of this Project is to modernize a portion of the Piedmont existing pipeline system (i.e., Lines
37 and 38). The Project will allow for the removal from service and abandonment in-place of approximately
31 miles of steel pipe. Piedmont's risk analysis has prioritized the replacement of these aging facilities. In
order to maintain existing transportation service provided by Lines 37 and 38, approximately 21.8 miles of
new 12 -inch diameter steel pipeline and 9.8 miles of new 6 -inch diameter steel transmission pipeline will
be installed. The desired in-service date for the Project is Q4 2019.
1.4 Horizontal Directional Drill Locations
As identified below in Table 1.4-1, certain resources crossed by the Project will utilize HDD or conventional
bore construction methods to minimize surface impacts. The reduction of impact area due to HDD or
conventional bore crossings is not reflected in the total Project land requirement numbers listed in Table
1.2-1. Reductions to resource impacts because of HDD or conventional bore crossings are discussed
further in Section 4 of this report.

2 Habitat -Level Survey Methods
2.1 General Survey Methodology
Biologists conducted a pedestrian meander survey for potential suitable habitat for protected species as
part of the wetland delineation field surveys across the full PSA for all parcels crossed by the Project. Survey
access was granted by all landowners within the PSA. Surveys included a visual inspection of all proposed
facility footprints including the permanent right-of-way (ROW), temporary workspace (TWS), additional
temporary workspace (ATWS), contractor yards, and access roads. The PSA was designed to encompass
all activities associated with the proposed Project and is not the actual Project disturbance area.
During this survey, biologists visually inspected possible suitable protected species habitat paying particular
attention within mature pine forests with open understories, fringes to swamps and other inundated
wetlands, and for potential raptor nests in forests and on transmission line towers. Biologists were also
instructed to record general habitat observations such as burrows, nests, mature long leaf pines, and any
notable wildlife sightings. Wildlife and habitat observations were recorded on paper field books and within
a data file in a global positioning system (GPS) unit with post -processed data achieving sub -meter
accuracy. Survey results are provided in Section 3.1.
Protected Species Overview
Table 2.1-1 lists federally protected species with potential to occur within Sampson County, North Carolina.
Appendix C includes the USFWS Information for Planning and Conservation (IPaC) Report. The IPaC
report was reviewed prior to conducting field surveys to identify species of concern and to conduct additional
research on their ecology and to develop descriptions of their suitable habitat characteristics.

mature pine woodlands with few or no hardwood trees
present. Preferred foraging habitats are pine stands with
trees 25 cm (10 in.) and greater in diameter with open
understories. These may or may not include a significant
hardwood component.

3 Habitat -Level Survey Results
3.1 General Habitat and Landuse Result -
The habitat and landuse types within the PSA were mapped using natural color imagery acquired by the
North Carolina Ortho Program in January 2017. Additionally, reference GPS data collected in the field
during biological and wetland surveys was used to interpret aerial imagery signatures. The imagery has a
ground -resolution of 0.15 -meter per pixel and a reported accuracy of 0.457 -meters. The habitat and landuse
mapping results are provided in Table 3.1-1. Figure 3.1-1, provided in Appendix B, identifies habitat and
landuse types and habitat observations made during field surveys within the PSA. Selected site
photographs depicting habitat observations are provided in Appendix D.
The Developed Lands category is the predominant habitat or landuse type within the PSA which covers
approximately 69.5% of the study area. The Developed Lands category is divided into several land use
types, the predominant being Agricultural Cropland which covers 356.61 acres (45.3% of the PSA).
Forested Lands account for approximately 32% of the PSA, with Managed Pine Plantations accounting for
most of the forested areas, covering 140.61 acres (17.9% of the PSA). The pine plantations mapped
included areas of mature loblolly pines, young saplings, seedlings, and areas that have been recently
harvested. Other forested habitats include both upland and wetland forests with Riverine Swamp Forests
being the dominant natural forested habitat type with 60.97 acres (7.8% of the PSA). Upland Mixed Forests
and Woodlands make the second largest natural forested habitat with a total of 24.14 acres (3.1 %). Other
habitat communities within the PSA include Herbaceous Wetlands, Cutover Managed Pine Flats (which
include maintained ROW'S through managed pine flats), and waterbodies each comprising 1.1%, 0.7%,
and 0.4%, respectively (Table 3.1-1).

Agricultural croplands include areas cultivated as row crops, such as corn, soybean, cotton, and tobacco.
32 nri^i litural Doc+
Agricultural pasture lands include enclosed tracts for livestock grazing, such as cattle or horses, and also
areas cultivated for hay. The herbaceous vegetation is dominated by upland pasture grasses such as bahia,
dallis, rye, and Bermuda.
3.2. jisturoed Ground
Areas of bare ground within developed landscapes that were disturbed by grading or other uses; however,
the purpose for the disturbance was not able to be determined. Disturbed areas could be developed into
industrial, commercial, or residential developments but at the time of the survey the development purpose
was not determined.

Developed lands for industrial or commercial uses including utilities, manufacturing, transport, or general
commercial use. Also included in this category are community centers and churches.
3.2.. aenuai ueveiopmeni
Developed lands for residential uses such as single-family residences, multiple -unit dwellings, and mobile
homes. Includes the maintained landscapes surrounding residential structures.
Road Rights -of -Way
Includes the road surface, the maintained shoulders of the road, and associated roadside drainage ditches.
Page 13

Lines 448 & 449 Project I Sensitive Species Habitat Assessment Report
3.2.1.7 Utility Rights -of -Way
Utility corridors including pipelines, overhead electrical transmission lines, and underground utilities that
are maintained in an herbaceous state through routine mowing. Areas mapped as utility ROWs have been
restricted to maintained areas through forested lands. Utilities crossing other land use types, such as
agricultural lands, have been classified as the land use type not affected by the utility corridor.
3.2.1.8 Bottomland Hardwood Forests
Forested or occasionally scrub -shrub communities that usually occur within floodplains of streams or within
valley bottoms of smaller drainage features that are typically seasonally flooded. Wetland system types
include both Riverine and Slope wetland communities. Typical tree species include oaks (overcup, water,
laurel, swamp chestnut), sweet gum, red maple, green ash, cottonwoods, willows, and occasionally loblolly
pine.
3.2.1.9 Hardwood Flat
Poorly drained interstream flats not associated with rivers, streams, or slope valley bottoms. Areas are
seasonally saturated by a high-water table or poorly drained soils. Typical tree species include sweet gum,
red maple, and occasionally loblolly pine.
Managed Pine Flat
Managed pine forests (typically loblolly pine) that occur on poorly drained interstream flats not associated
with rivers, streams, or slope valley bottoms. Areas are seasonally saturated by a high-water table and
poorly drained soils. Often, the areas are drained through extensive ditching and deeply furrowed with pines
planted on the upper limits of the furrowed rows. Managed pine flats meet the definition for wetlands by
having sufficient hydrology, vegetation, and hydric soils; however, areas may not meet jurisdictional
requirements. Tree species are managed for loblolly pines.
3.2.1 pine Plantation
Managed pine forests (usually loblolly pine) that occur in upland areas. Includes mature, sapling, seedling,
and areas recently logged that will be replanted.
3.2.1.12 Riverine Swamp Fore
Riverine forested or occasionally scrub -shrub communities that occur within floodplains of larger streams
and swamp systems that are typically semi -permanently flooded. Typical tree species include cypress,
black gum, water tupelo, red maple, willow, and green ash.
i .I J Upland Mixed Forest and Woodland
Forested and woodland areas that occur along the edges of agricultural lands, typically mapped as a narrow
buffer transitioning from agricultural lands to another forested type such as bottomland hardwoods or
riverine swamp forests. These communities are transitional from one land use to another, including along
fence lines and property lines. Typical species include oaks (water oak, red oak, white oak) sweet gum,
and loblolly pine.
+ Cutover Managed Pine Flat
Maintained ROWS within managed pine forests (usually loblolly pine) that occur on poorly drained
interstream flats not associated with rivers, streams, or slope valley bottoms. Areas are seasonally
saturated by a high-water table and poorly drained soils. Within managed pine flats, areas are routinely
maintained for an herbaceous community, including utility and road ROWS. Species common in these
communities include sedges, rushes, and grasses.
Page 14

Lines 448 & 449 Project I Sensitive Species Habitat Assessment Report
3.2.1.15 Herbaceous Wetland
Herbaceous areas that are flooded or saturated near the surface for extended periods during the growing
season. Included are marshes within pond fringes, managed pasture lands, managed impoundments,
areas of maintained ROWs through other wetland types. Typical communities include sedges, rushes,
grasses, giant cane, arrow arum, smartweed, and cattail.
3.2.1.16
Streams and rivers that are large enough to delineate on the aerial imagery (typically having channel widths
greater than 30 -feet). Perennial streams are natural drainage channels that flow continuously throughout
the year.
3.2.1
Man-made waterbodies such as livestock ponds, stormwater detention ponds, and excavated basins that
are smaller than 20 -acres in size. Ponds may be seasonally to permanently flooded waterbodies.
3.3 American Alligator Survey Results
Biologists conducted approximately 528 man-hours (four observers at approximately 132 hours each) of
ground surveys within the PSA and did not observe any American alligators in the PSA or during travel to
or from the PSA. Additionally, alligator sign such as scat, tracks, dens, or wallows, were not observed within
the PSA. Suitable habitat for the alligator is present within the larger drainage systems such as Starlins
Swamp, Bearskin Swamp, Little Coharie Creek, and Great Coharie Creek; however, each of these larger
systems are proposed to be crossed using HDD methods. Therefore, surface impacts to these systems will
be avoided and impacts to alligators are not anticipated. Due to the presence of suitable habitat for the
alligator, but the proposed HDD crossings of said habitat, our determination is that the Project "May Affect
— but Not Likely to Adversely Affect" the American alligator.
3.4 Pondberry Survey Results
Pondberry (Lindera melissifolia) is a deciduous shrub that grows up to two meters in height, spreads
vegetatively by stolons, has pale yellow flowers that appear in the spring before leaves emerge, and has
oval-shaped fruits that turn from green to bright red in the fall. Pondberry leaves have a distinct
sassafras -like odor (i.e., lemon/citrus scent) when crushed. Plants flower in late February or March. Mature
fruits can be found on plants in October.
Suitable habitat for pondberry is restricted to wetland habitats such as bottomland hardwoods and riverine
swamp forests in the interior landscapes, and the margins of sinks, ponds and other depressions in the
more coastal sites. One known population exists within Sampson County.
Biologists conducted approximately 528 man-hours (four observers at approximately 132 hours each) of
ground surveys within the PSA and did not observe any specimens of pondberry in the PSA or during travel
to or from the PSA. Biologists prepared for the field survey event by studying botanical materials for the
various life stages of the species prior to commencing field surveys (copies provided in Appendix E).
Biologists were trained to perform intensive pedestrian meander surveys throughout the bottomland and
riverine forested wetlands within the PSA. Biologists focused on fringe habitats adjacent to seasonally
flooded areas within bottomland and riverine forested wetlands. No specimens of pondberry were observed
during surveys. Additionally, the larger forested wetland systems crossed by the Project, such as Little
Coharie Creek, Great Coharie Creek, Starlins Swamp and Bearskin Swamp will be crossed via HDD and
no surface impacts are anticipated. As such, our determination is that the Project will have "No Effect" on
pondberry.

3.5 Red -cockaded Woodpecker Survey ResultE
The Red -cockaded woodpecker prefers to inhabit mature to old growth pine forests, particularly longleaf
pines (Pinus palustris) with an open mid -story and mature understory, but other species of southern pines
are also acceptable. The USFWS have developed survey protocols to assess potential project -related
impacts to Red -cockaded woodpecker nesting and/or foraging habitat. A copy of the survey protocols is
provided in Appendix F. A summary of the protocols followed in the field is provided below.
Suitable foraging habitat consists of a pine or pine/hardwood stand of forest, woodland, or savannah in
which 50 percent or more of the dominant trees are pines and the dominant pine trees are generally 30
years in age or older (i.e., 10 -inch DBH or greater). Following protocol, if a forest stand meets the general
characteristics for suitable foraging habitat, then the stand was surveyed more intensely within the PSA to
determine if the stand contains any 60 -year-old or older pine trees and an analysis was performed to
determine if suitable nesting habitat with 60 -year-old or older pine trees occurs within 0.5 -mile of the
identified stand of suitable foraging habitat. Suitable nesting habitat consists of mature (i.e., 60 -year-old or
older) pine trees that are within a 0.5 -mile distance of suitable foraging habitat. These mature pines can be
scattered or clumped within younger stands. Following protocol, a determination of suitable nesting habitat
may be based on existing stand data, aerial photo interpretation, and/or field reconnaissance. All stands
which meet suitable nesting habitat must be surveyed for cavity trees.
Biologists conducted approximately 528 man-hours (four observers at approximately 132 hours each) of
ground surveys within the PSA and surrounding areas and did not observe any Red -cockaded woodpeckers
in the PSA or during travel to or from the PSA. Biologists applied the survey protocols when in potential
suitable habitat (forage or nesting) areas. Following protocol, pine tree diameter -at -breast -height (DBH)
measurements were taken when pine trees were near or exceeded 10 -inch DBH. If stands met the
requirement for potential suitable foraging habitat, biologists recorded the average DBH measurement,
recorded notes on the structure of the understory, and performed pedestrian surveys within the PSA to
determine if any 60 -year-old trees were present. Additionally, if the landscape permitted a visual field
allowing for observations beyond the stand, such as an adjacent agricultural cropland, biologists were
instructed to perform a visual observation to determine if any mature pine trees were present within their
field of view. If a mature pine tree was observed, the biologists traveled to the mature pine tree and visually
inspected the tree for presence of cavities. These visual observations were made with the help of binoculars
with 8x to 10x power.
Surveys concluded that no natural pine forests occur in the PSA. Managed plantations of loblolly pines
(Pinus taeda) occur throughout the PSA, accounting for approximately 17.9% of the study area. The
majority of these pine plantations consist of immature loblolly pines with average DBH's of less than
10 -inches. Also, biologists noted that most of the pine plantations do not have a mid-understory and that
the understory consists of dense shrubs including hollies and Chinese privet that would not be considered
suitable foraging habitat. Table 3.5-1 summarize the potential suitable habitat observations recorded during
the field surveys. All other pine plantations observed did not consist of pines with DBH's greater than
10 -inches.
Based on the survey results, the Project will not impact any potential nesting habitat (i.e., mature,
60 -year-old or older pine trees with foraging habitat within 0.5 -mile). Observations made in the field did
identify one managed pine plantation stand of potential suitable foraging habitat, near milepost (MP) 7.2 to
milepost 7.7 of Line 449. Afield and aerial review of this area, extending to a 0.5 -mile buffer, was conducted.
Results of this review concluded that no mature, greater than 60 -year-old, pine trees were observed within
0.5 -mile distance of this managed stand. Therefore, biologists determined this stand not suitable foraging
habitat. This stand of managed pine trees had a dense understory and no mid -story development. Portions
of this managed pine plantation are or have been recently harvested and it is likely that the remainder of
this stand will soon be harvested based on it reaching ideal merchantable timber characteristics. Based on
field survey and aerial review of the Project area, and specifically, the limits of construction, our

determination is that the Project "May Affect - but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect" the Red -cockaded
woodpecker.

3.6 Raptor Nest Survey Results
Biologists conducted approximately 528 man-hours (four observers at approximately 132 hours each) of
ground surveys within the PSA and surrounding areas. Biologists are trained to observe potential nesting
strata (e.g., trees, snags, overhead transmission line poles, etc.) and document the presence of potential
raptor nests. During surveys of the PSA, one potential raptor nest was observed near the PSA, and one
mane -made nesting platform (unoccupied at time of visit) was observed near the PSA. Several observations
were made of raptors in flight near the PSA.
At MP 8.9 of Line 449, biologists observed a potential raptor nest within a large, deciduous tree,
approximately 200 feet from the proposed centerline. This nest occurs at the forested edge of an agricultural
cropland field. Biologists observed the nest for approximately 30 -minutes and determined it to be
unoccupied at the time of visit (6/17/2018). Prior to construction, Piedmont will confirm the status of
occupancy for this nest.
At MP 3.0 of Line 448, biologists observed a man-made pole and box platform structure that appears to be
constructed for potential use for a raptor nest. This structure is located approximately 150 feet from the
proposed centerline. At the time of observation, there appeared to be loose nesting material in the platform
box. Biologists concluded that the platform box does not contain a nest and was unused at the time of visit.
Biologists also confirmed with the land owner that the platform box has not been occupied by nesting raptor
and all apparent nesting material was placed there by the landowner in an effort to attract raptors to

4 Project Impacts
4.1 Project Impacts and Mitigation
Table 4.1-1 summarizes land use and habitat impacts resulting from construction and operation of the
Project. Approximately 247.49 acres will be temporarily disturbed during construction of the proposed
Project. This total includes temporary work areas that upon completion of construction will be reseeded or
replanted and allowed to return to prior land uses. The Project's permanently maintained ROW, including
facility sites, consists of 117.28 acres, of which, 5.95 acres will be installed by HDD and therefore will not
impact vegetation or aquatic habitats during construction. The permanent ROW will be maintained in
naturally occurring vegetation areas (i.e., areas not under management such as agricultural pastures or
developed lands) to facilitate operations and maintenance activities, while areas under agricultural
production or other human uses will be allowed to return to prior land uses. If site conditions allow, the
permanent ROW installed via HDD may be cleared and maintained as part of operations and has been
accounted for in the permitting of this Project.
Except for the proposed facility sites (3.57 acres), all disturbed areas will be reseeded and allowed to
revegetate. The removal of vegetation within the workspace will be temporary, and these areas will be
reseeded with an appropriate seed mix when construction is complete. Agricultural fields and other
developed parcels will be restored at the direction of landowners or lessees.
The Project will be constructed largely in existing pine plantations and agricultural lands. Impacts to wildlife
may include habitat disturbance, species displacement, and a temporary loss of mature forested habitats.
Vegetation will be allowed to reestablish to pre -construction conditions within TWS and ATWS; however,
the permanent ROW will be maintained in an herbaceous/shrub state to allow for access and inspection of
the pipeline ROW.
To minimize impacts to wildlife and habitat resulting from the Project, the following general mitigation
measures will be implemented:
Piedmont has limited the construction ROW to a width of 50 feet within wetlands and stream
crossings and will maintain a 30 -foot -wide permanent ROW for operational purposes.
Piedmont will limit habitat disturbance to the approved construction ROW.
To minimize the potential for species displacement, construction activities will be kept to the
minimum time necessary to complete construction.
The pipeline trench will be kept open for the minimum time necessary to complete installation and
all open trenches will be inspected prior to backfill to verify no species have been trapped in the
trench.
Construction personnel will undergo environmental training that will include information on sensitive
wildlife species.
Piedmont will implement erosion and sediment control devices to reduce potential impacts from
sedimentation and erosion.

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
(16U.S.C. 1531 etseq.).
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

06/05/2018 Event Code: 04EN2000-2018-E-01815
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://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws. o� rorrybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/
comtow.html.
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 [e-mail].

F. Red -Cockaded Woodpecker Survey Protocol

Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to guide biologists through the protocol for surveying for red -
cockaded woodpecker (RCW).
Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the biologist either conducting the actual survey or managing the private
firm conducting the survey to be familiar with this protocol and to make sure it is followed.
It is the responsibility of the person requesting the survey to do so in a timely manner and to
give all pertinent project data to the biologist conducting the survey.
Scheduling and Time Constraints
Generally, the request for a survey should be made six (6) months before the required due date.
However, if scope length is large, allow additional time. The PDU Project Manager should
discuss this with NEU Project Manager. Although surveys can be conducted at any time during
the year, the optimum time frame for surveys is November 1 -March 15.

online procedure for the most current version.

The following four procedures are based on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's RCW Recovery
Plan 2003. The procedures are also based on NEU biologists' prior project experience and past
project coordination with USFWS.
General Survey Procedure
Step 1. Consult the Natural Heritage Database for information on known populations of
RCW or known locations of suitable nesting or foraging habitat for RCW. For
projects on or adjacent to large public lands (e.g. Fort Bragg, Croatan National
Forest, Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge, Sandhills Gamelands, Holly
Shelter Gamelands), check with local biologists as well.
Step 2. Surveys can be done year round but optimal time to survey is when the leaves
have fallen off the trees, generally November to early March.
Step 3. Obtain most recent available aerial photography. Prepare map using aerial
photography with study area. Also include a half mile boundary from study area.
(ArcMap is a good resource to use for this)
Step 4. Assess through field reconnaissance if there is suitable foraging habitat within
study area.
Step 5. If there is no suitable foraging habitat within the study area then no further surveys
are needed.
Step 6. Also, assess if there is suitable nesting habitat within study area. If found, follow
Surveying for RCW Cavity Trees.
Step 7. If suitable foraging habitat is found within study area, then biologist must survey for
suitable nesting habitat within a half mile of all foraging habitat within study area.
Step 8. For nesting and foraging habitat surveys within the project study area and within
0.5 mi of the project site, potential habitat is assessed at the level of the stand. A
stand is a term often used to refer to a wooded area receiving past or current
silvicultural treatment as a single management unit. For the purposes of these
procedures, the term includes any subset of a tract of wooded land, divided by
biological community type, management history, or any other reasonable
approach. A small tract of land may be considered a single stand.
Step 9. For large projects with several stands, see RCW Survey Form as a resource to
organize field notes for each stand.
Step 10. Surveys should not be conducted after a hard rain. This makes it difficult to see
sap and cavities.
Step 11. In habitat that is too thick to walk through (usually in pocosin habitat) surveys may
be done by helicopter. Helicopter surveys must be done during leaf out. See your
supervisor to determine if helicopter surveys are needed.
Biological Determination Procedure
This procedure outlines the general steps in determining a Biological Conclusion. If you have a
project with an unusual situation that does not fall into the categories described below, alert your
immediate supervisor and/or coordinate with USFWS.
Step 1. If no suitable foraging or nesting habitat is present, the biological conclusion is "No
Effect."
Step 2. If there is either suitable foraging habitat or suitable nesting habitat but surveys did
not find any RCW cavity trees and there are no known RCW trees or clusters
within 1.0 mile of study area then the biological conclusion is "No Effect"
2
The information contained in this procedure is deemed accurate and complete when posted. Content may change at
any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of printed copies. Please refer to the
online procedure for the most current version.

Step 3. If the above is true but project is near a large population of RCWs (i.e. Sandhills
area) consult with supervisor and/or USFWS for appropriate biological conclusion.
Step 4. If RCW cavity trees are found within the study area or a half mile from study area,
then the biologist needs to discuss this with supervisor and/or USFWS on the
degree of consultation. If active RCW trees are found, then most likely a foraging
habitat analysis (FHA) needs to be conducted.
Identification of Suitable Foraging Habitat
During field surveys in the project study area, look for the following characteristics
of suitable foraging habitat:
• Pine or pine/hardwood stand of forest, woodland or savanna
• Dominant trees in the stand are pines (50% or more in composition)
• Dominant pine trees in the stand are 30 years in age or older
These characteristics do not necessarily describe good quality foraging habitat
(see 2E, 81 in RCW Recovery Plan 2003); rather, this is a conservative description
of potentially suitable foraging habitat.
The age of stands can be determined by aging representative dominant pines
using an increment -borer and counting annual growth rings. Stand data describing
size classes may be substituted for aging representative pines if the average size
of 30 year-old pines is known for the local area and habitat (i.e., at least 10 in dbh
or larger).
Identification of Suitable Nesting Habitat
During field surveys, look for the following characteristics of suitable nesting
habitat:
• Pine or pine/hardwood stand forest, woodland, or savanna
• Dominant trees in the stand are pines (50% or more in composition)
• Stands 60 years in age or older
Younger stands may contain 60 year old or older pine trees scattered or clumped
within the stand. These older trees within younger stands must also be examined
for the presence of RCW cavities.
These characteristics do not necessarily describe good quality nesting habitat (see
2D, 8E, 8F in RCW Recovery Plan 2003); rather, this is a conservative description
of potentially suitable nesting habitat.
All stands and trees 60 yrs or older need to be surveyed for presence of RCW
cavities.
The age of stands can be determined by aging representative dominant pines
using an increment -borer and counting annual growth rings.

any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of printed copies. Please refer to the
online procedure for the most current version.

Surveying for RCW Cavity Trees
Step 1. All surveys for RCW cavity trees must be conducted by personnel
experienced in management and/or monitoring of the species.
Step 2. All potential nesting habitat should be surveyed by running line transects through
stands and visually inspecting all medium and large sized pine for evidence of
RCW cavity excavation.
Step 3. Whenever possible, walk transects north -south because many cavity entrances are
oriented in a westerly direction. Transects must be spaced so that all trees are
inspected. The necessary spacing will vary with habitat structure and season from
a maximum of 100 yards between transects in very open pine stands to 50 yards
or less in areas with a dense midstory.
Step 4. Trees with flat tops (usually loblolly and longleaf pines) are indicative of older trees
and must be closely inspected.
Step 5. If RCW cavity trees are found within the study area or half mile, mark the tree by
putting several rings of flagging tape on the tree (make sure flagging is highly
visible).
Step 6. Record the location of all cavity trees in the field using a Global Positioning System
(GPS) unit, aerial photograph, and/or field map. Activity status, cavity stage (start,
advanced start, or complete cavity), and any entrance enlargement are assessed
and recorded at this time.
Step 7. Taking photos can be useful to verify that they are RCW cavities.
Step 8. If cavity trees are found, more intense surveying within 1500 feet of each cavity
tree is conducted to locate all cavity trees in the area.
Step 9. If active completed cavities are found, then the RCW trees need to be observed at
dusk or dawn to determine if cavities are being used by RCWs. This should only
be done with supervision of experienced RCW biologist.
Step 10. Cavity trees are later assigned into clusters based on observations of RCW as
described in 3A, RCW Recovery Plan 2003.
Step 11. Report any cavity trees or other evidence of RCW activity to the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service and the NC Natural Heritage Program.
Step 12.Once surveys for cavity trees are complete, the need for a FHA must be
determined and a biological conclusion rendered. If a FHA is needed, a biological
assessment will be required along with consultation with USFWS. Consult with
your supervisor to determine whether the FHA will be done in-house or outsourced
to an on-call consultant.
Background
Surveys are used to determine whether the nesting and/or foraging habitat of a red -cockaded
woodpecker group will be adversely affected by the proposed project. This is an important part
of the conservation and management of this endangered species, and therefore, the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service has developed standard survey and analysis procedures for such
determinations. These determinations must be undertaken prior to the initiation of any project
within the southeastern United States if 1) RCW's are listed for that particular county, and 2) if

the project calls for removal of pine trees 30 years or older (typically such trees will be at least
10 in. dbh or larger). Activities taking place near cavity trees, or those that could indirectly alter
RCW habitat must also be considered, regardless of whether trees are removed or not.
Policy, Regulatory, and Legal Requirements
Endangered Species Act
Warnings and Precautions
Failure to survey for suitable foraging and nesting habitat in counties that have the red -
cockaded woodpecker listed could result in project delays during the planning process. Project
delays could also occur if the survey protocols are not followed and the project study area has
to be resurveyed.
