4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
578
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The Cross Creek watershed is largely urban and land use is highly impervious. Because of its urbanized watershed, Cross Creek experiences high volume and velocity flows as a result
of precipitation events, accelerating erosion along its banks. The property in question has buildings directly adjacent to Cross Creek as well as pedestrian access walkways across the
stream connecting the buildings. The banks of the creek adjacent to the buildings are severely eroded (please see photos in the USFWS request letter 10/4/18 attached) and
continuing to migrate toward the building foundation. In recent storms in 2019, evacuation of the residents was deemed necessary. The proposed design is stabilization of the banks
with riprap and geotextile in order to prevent further bank migration and damage to the buildings. The owner is hoping to begin construction as early in the hurricane season as possible
to avoid further evacuation and safety risks.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project will entail laying back existing slopes where practical and placement of appropriately sized rip rap (Class I and II) on filter fabric along the slopes of the stream, primarily
above the ordinary high water mark. Below an existing overhang, a soil nail wall will be used due to limited access. Rip rap will be required below OHWM to tie in the slopes and prevent
undermining of the protection measures during storm events. In order to work in the dry, an impervious barrier will be installed and the ends rotated to allowwork on the left and right
bank sequentially per the attached plans.
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:
No permanent impacts to surface waters is proposed. The location and extent of erosion has prevented the use of natural stabilization measures.
Approximately 1 cubic foot of rip rap per running foot on either side of the stream will be placed belowthe OHWM, estimated based on vegetation line
apprommately 4 ft deep. This may be an overestimate as severe erosion has made OHWM determination more complex
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Impervious barrier usage will allowwork in the dry and limit sedimentation as a result of the project. Erosion control measures are being reviewed and
approved by NC Division of Energy, Minerals, and Land Resources.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
r Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Only temporary impacts are proposed. No permanent loss of Waters of the US or State will result from the project.

F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent toprotected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
r Yes r No
If no, explain why:
This section of the Cape Fear River basin does not have state riparian buffers.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
r Yes r No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
r Yes r No
Comments:
No impervious surface is proposed as part of the project.
G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
1a. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?*
f Yes r No
2. Violations (DWR Requirement)

Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0200)?*
f Yes r No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?*
r Yes r No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
No new development is proposed - the purpose of the project is to protect ebsting structures. Downstream water quality would likely improve as the
project would result in less erosion than is currently occurring.

RE: Endangered Species Act Compliance Review
Heritage Place Bank Stabilization
City of Fayetteville, NC

Dear Mr. Benjamin;

Carolina Ecosystems, Inc. (CEI) has completed an environmental review of a proposed bank
stabilization of Cross Creek at 325 North Cool Springs Street in Fayetteville, Cumberland
County, North Carolina. The project involves hard structure stabilization of currently eroding
banks of Cross Creek adjacent to an existing retirement home and assisted living facility
(Heritage Place).

Because construction would occur in a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
regulatory floodplain, a Conditional Letter of Map Revision will be submitted to the NC
Floodplain Mapping Program. Executive Order 11988 requires concurrence from the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) regarding compliance with the Endangered Species
Act (ESA) prior to FEMA approval.

CEI staff reviewed the project site on March 24, 2018 for the presence of federally protected
species or their habitat. This letter provides a summary of this review.

Project Location and Description

The project study area (site) comprises an approximate 300-foot reach of Cross Creek passing
between two multi-story retirement home and assisted living buildings with cross walks. The
banks of the stream are experiencing severe erosion with up to 20 vertical feet of bank failure.
Sediment and rubble from fill have entered the stream from upstream as well. Due to the close
proximity of the banks to the assisted living facility, the only practical solution to protect the
buildings is structural hardening of the banks. Vegetation along the stream is extremely limited
due to bank failure and, where present, consists of invasive species such as bamboo and English
ivy. Several site photographs are attached to this letter.

American Alligator

USFWS Recommended Survey Window: year round (only warm days in winter)
Habitat Description: In North Carolina, alligators have been recorded in nearly every coastal county,
and many inland counties to the fall line. The alligator is found rivers, streams, canals, lakes,
swamps, and coastal marshes. Adult animals are highly tolerant of salt water, but the young
are apparently more sensitive, with salinities greater than 5 parts per thousand considered
harmful. The American alligator remains on the protected species list due to its similarity in
appearance to the Endangered American crocodile.

Biological Conclusion: Not Applicable

The American alligator is listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance to other listed
species. Therefore, no surveys are required and no biological conclusion is rendered. Habitat for
this species is not present within the project area. Cross Creek experiences high flows and water
is not of sufficient depth to provide habitat. The closest known occurrence of this species is
approximately 2 miles North from the project.

Mr. Pete Benjamin Page 3
October 4, 2018
Bald Eagle

Habitat Description: Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forest in proximity
to large bodies of open water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized for nesting
sites, typically within 1.0 mile of open water.

Biological Conclusion: No effect

The Cape Fear River is within 1.0 mile of the project study area. Cross Creek is not large
enough to provide foraging habitat for the bald eagle. No bald eagles or their nests were noted
during the field survey. A review of the NCNHP records, updated July 2018, indicates no known
occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area.

Cape Fear Shiner

USFWS Recommended Survey Window: April - June (tributaries); year round (large rivers)

Habitat Description: The Cape Fear shiner is known only from the Cape Fear River watershed.
In general, habitat occurs in streams with clean gravel, cobble, or boulder substrates. It is most
often observed inhabiting slow pools, riffles, and slow runs associated with water willow
(Justicia americana) beds, which it uses for cover. Juveniles can be found inhabiting slackwater,
among large rock outcrops and in flooded side channels and pools. Spawning occurs May
through June, when water temperatures reach 66 degrees Fahrenheit.

Biological Conclusion: No Effect

No habitat for the Cape Fear shiner is present in the project area. This reach of Cross Creek is
severely impacted by sediment from collapsing banks as well as upstream failures. Clean gravel,
cobble and boulder substrate is not present. No surveys were performed for this species. Known
occurrences of the Cape Fear shiner are 20 miles upstream on the Cape Fear and not within this sub-
basin.

Red-cockaded woodpecker

USFWS Recommended Survey Window: year round; November-early March (optimal)

Habitat Description: The red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) typically occupies open, mature
stands of southern pines, particularly longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), for foraging and
nesting/roosting habitat. The RCW excavates cavities for nesting and roosting in living
pine trees, aged 60 years or older, which are contiguous with pine stands at least 30 years
of age to provide foraging habitat. The foraging range of the RCW is normally no more
than 0.5 miles.

Biological Conclusion: No Effect

There are no large mature stands of pines within the project site or adjacent to the site. The area
immediately adjacent to Cross Creek is heavily maintained as residential lawns and parking lots.
Few pine trees are present. A search of the NCNHP database (updated June 2016) showed no
Mr. Pete Benjamin Page 4
October 4, 2018
occurrence of the red-cockaded woodpecker within 1.0 mile of the study area, and the closest
known occurrence is 2.7 miles South of the project.

St. Francis’ Satyr butterfly

USFWS Recommended Survey Window: May 5 - June 6 and July 26 - August 21

Habitat Description: The Saint Francis’ satyr butterfly is only known from the Sandhills of
North Carolina, although its historic range may have been much larger. This butterfly is
known to inhabit wide, wet meadows dominated by sedges and other wetland graminoids.
These wetlands are often relicts of beaver activity and are boggy areas that are acidic and
ephemeral. These sites must be continually maintained to persist as open areas. The
larval host of the Saint Francis' satyr is thought to be grasses, sedges and rushes.

Biological Conclusion: No Effect

No habitat for the St. Francis’ satyr butterfly is present in the project area. Cross Creek is incised
from 10 to 20 feet below the surrounding land throughout the reach, and no wetlands were noted
during site visits. A review of the NCNHP records, updated July 2018, indicates no known
occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area.

American chaffseed

USFWS Optimal Survey Window: May-August (1-2 months after a fire)

Habitat Description: American chaffseed generally occurs in habitats described as open, moist to
dryish Mesic Pine Flatwoods and longleaf pine flatlands, Pine Savannas, Pine/Scrub Oak
Sandhills, Sandhill Seeps, and other open grass/sedge-dominated communities. This herb also
occurs in the ecotonal areas between peaty wetlands and xeric sandy soils and on the upper
ecotones of, or sites close, to Streamhead Pocosins. The species prefers sandy peat or sandy
loam, acidic, seasonally moist to dry soils in sunny or partly sunny areas subject to frequent fires
in the growing season. The plant is dependent on factors such as fire, mowing, or fluctuating
water tables to maintain its required open to partly-open habitat. Most extant occurrences, and
all of the most vigorous occurrences, are in areas subject to frequent fire. This species is also
known to occur on road cuts and power line rights-of-way that experience frequent mowing or
clearing. Soil series that it is found on include Blaney, Candor, Gelead, Fuquay, Lakeland, and
Vaucluse.

Biological Conclusion: No Effect

No habitat for American chaffseed is present in the project area. The immediate area is either
maintained lawns, forest with heavy invasive cover, or eroding stream banks. The area does not
experience fire on a regular basis. A review of the NCNHP records, updated July 2018, indicates
no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area.

Michaux’s sumac

USFWS Optimal Survey Window: May-October

Habitat Description: Michaux’s sumac, endemic to the inner Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont,
grows in sandy or rocky, open, upland woods on acidic or circumneutral, well-drained sands or
sandy loam soils with low cation exchange capacities. The species is also found on sandy or
submesic loamy swales and depressions in the fall line Sandhills region as well as in openings
along the rim of Carolina bays; maintained railroad, roadside, power line, and utility rights-of-
way; areas where forest canopies have been opened up by blowdowns and/or storm damage;
small wildlife food plots; abandoned building sites; under sparse to moderately dense pine or
pine/hardwood canopies; and in and along edges of other artificially maintained clearings
undergoing natural succession. In the central Piedmont, it occurs on clayey soils derived from
mafic rocks. The plant is shade intolerant and, therefore, grows best where disturbance (e.g.,
mowing, clearing, grazing, periodic fire) maintains its open habitat.

Biological Conclusion: No Effect

Habitat for Michaux’s sumac is not present in the project area. There are limited maintained
clearings at the edge of the project area, but these are either well-manicured grass or have heavy
cover of invasives. A review of the NCNHP records, updated July 2018, indicates no known
occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area.

Pondberry

USFWS Optimal Survey Window: February-October

Habitat Description: Pondberry occurs in seasonally flooded wetlands, sandy sinks, pond
margins, and swampy depressions. This deciduous, aromatic shrub occurs in bottomland
hardwood forests with perched water tables along inland areas of the southeastern United States.
In the Coastal Plain of the Carolinas, the species occurs at the margins of limestone sinks and
ponds and in undrained, shallow depressions of longleaf pine and pond pine forests. Known
occurrences in North Carolina occur in the Small Depression Pocosin natural community, grow
in soils with sandy sediments and high water table, contain high peat content in the subsurface,
and include a prevalence of shrubs due to historically frequent or intense fires. It generally
grows in somewhat shaded areas but can tolerate full sun.

Biological Conclusion: No Effect

No habitat for pondberry is present in the project area. Cross Creek is incised from 10 to 20 feet
below the surrounding land throughout the reach, and no wetlands were noted during site visits.
A review of the NCNHP records, updated July 2018, indicates no known occurrences within 1.0
mile of the study area.

Rough-leaved loosestrife

USFWS Optimal Survey Window: mid May-June

Habitat Description: Rough-leaved loosestrife, endemic to the Coastal Plain and Sandhills of
North and South Carolina, generally occurs in the ecotones or edges between longleaf pine
uplands and pond pine pocosins in dense shrub and vine growth on moist to seasonally saturated
sands and on shallow organic soils overlaying sand (spodosolic soils). Occurrences are found in
such disturbed habitats as roadside depressions, maintained power and utility line rights-of-way,
firebreaks, and trails. The species prefers full sunlight, is shade intolerant, and requires areas of
disturbance (e.g., clearing, mowing, periodic burning) where the overstory is minimal. It can,
however, persist vegetatively for many years in overgrown, fire-suppressed areas. Blaney,
Gilead, Johnston, Kalmia, Leon, Mandarin, Murville, Torhunta, and Vaucluse are some of the
soil series that the plant occurs on.

Biological Conclusion: No Effect

No habitat for rough-leaved loosestrife is present in the project area. Terrestrial habitat is
primarily maintained lawns or has heavy cover of invasives. No wetlands or seasonally saturated
soils within maintained rights of way are present. A review of the NCNHP records, updated July
2018, indicates no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area.

We request your review of this information and a determination of compliance with the ESA. If
possible, due to the continuing erosion of banks directly adjacent to the assisted living center, an
accelerated review of this information would be appreciated in order to not affect other
approvals. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at your earliest convenience
at [phone] or [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. May:
This letter is to inform you that the Service has established an on-line project planning and
consultation process which assists developers and consultants in determining whether a
federally-listed species or designated critical habitat may be affected by a proposed project. For
future projects. please visit the Raleigh Field Office's project planning website at
https://www.lws.sov/raleirrh/pp.html. If you are only searching for a list of species that may be
present in the pro.ject's Action Area, then you may use the Service's Inforn-ration, Planning, and
Consultation System (lPaC) website to determine if any listed, proposed, or candidate species
ntay be prescllt in the Action Area and generate a species list. The IPaC website may be viewed
at https://ecos.fws.qov/ipac/. The IPaC web site contains a complete and fiequently updated list
of all endar-rgered and threatened species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), a list of federal species of concern' that
are known to occur in each county in North Carolina, and other resources.
Section 7 o1'thc Act requires that all t'ederal agencies (or their designated non-f-ederal
fepresclttatirc). in consultation with tlie Service. insure that any action f-ederally ar,rthorized.
lunded. or carried oLrt by such agencies is not likely tt-rleopaldize the cotrtinucd c.\lstcltce ol auy
federally-listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evalLration may be
prepared to lirlfill that requirement and in determining wliether 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
I Th. t.r'r.r "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of
concentrated conservation actions. Federal species ofconcem receive no legal protection and their designation does

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 ofhce 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,
befbre 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.
With regard to the above-referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are
submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed
action is not likely to adversely affect any federally-listed endangered or threatened species, their
formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at
these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for
your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be
reconsidered it (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may aff'ect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species
is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have
on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we
recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species,
including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control
measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by
the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction.
Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction
site and any nearby down-gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining
natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a
copy can be found on our website at (http://www.fws.gov/raleigh) to address and mitigate
secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality.
We recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in
completing an initiation package fbr consultation (if necessary).
We hope yor-r find our web page useful and informative and that following the process described
above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for
species' lists. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis of this office at
[phone] ext.26.
Sincerely,
