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:
Work was located outside stream and wetland areas to the extent possible. The meter vault at the water treatment plant site is in an upload location.
Water transmission main was designed to be co -located with existing force main to share easement. Water main designed to cross wetland, buffer,
and Mahlers Creek as perpendicular as possible.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize impacts during construction. Preconstruction contours will be restored in wetland
areas. Stream bank restoration will be used to restore the banks of Mahlers Creek with native plant material. Remainder of water main follows road
right-of-ways to minimize impacts to jurisdictional areas.

Protected Species
The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) records for the Oregon Trail Water Transmission Main
project area in Wake County indicate the presence of the protected species in the table below. This
information is based on a report dated August 8, 2019 generated through the USFWS ECOS- IPaC
website. The IPaC letter report is attached.

Protected Species Habitat and Impacts
The Oregon Trail Water Transmission Main project is not anticipated to adversely affect any
federally protected species. The summary below describes each species and its likelihood to be
impacted by the project.
Birds
Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis)
The red-cockaded woodpecker is listed as endangered. According to the USFWS’ red-cockaded
woodpecker species profile (updated October 20, 2011), the red-cockaded woodpecker’s habitat is
open stands of old pine trees. Red-cockaded woodpeckers excavate cavities in living pine trees.
The proposed water transmission main will be installed on the D.E. Benton Water Treatment Plant
(WTP) site, adjacent to an existing sewer easement, and along public roads and within the right-of-
way. Very few trees will be removed during construction, because the WTP site, easements, and
road right-of-ways are already cleared. The project area does not contain open stands of pines. It is
unlikely that the project will result in any adverse impacts to the red-cockaded woodpecker.
Amphibians
Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi)
The Neuse River waterdog is proposed to be listed as threatened. According to the USFWS’ Species
Status Assessment Report for the Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi), Version 1.1 (November
2018), the Neuse River waterdog is an aquatic salamander known to occur in the Atlantic Slope
drainages of the Tar-Pamlico and Neuse River basins. They are typically found in streams wider
than 15 meters (some have been found in smaller creeks) and deeper than 100 centimeters with a
flow rate of more than 10 centimeters per second. They require clean, flowing water with high
dissolved oxygen (USFWS Species Status Assessment Report for the Neuse River Waterdog
(Necturus lewisi), Version 1.1, November 2018). According to the USFWS IPaC report for this
project, the proposed water transmission main is outside the critical area for the Neuse River
waterdog.
The water transmission main crosses one creek, Mahlers Creek, but it is unlikely to provide
favorable habitat for the Neuse River waterdog, as the creek crossing location is characterized by
erosion, silt deposition, and high use of septic systems.
During construction of the water main, erosion and sedimentation control measures will be used to
protect the stream, and the creek crossing will be limited to 40 feet in stream length. The water
main will be buried below the stream bed, and the banks will be restored with like stakes.
Fish
Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus)
The Carolina madtom is proposed to be listed as endangered. According to the USFWS’ Species
Status Assessment Report for the Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus), Version 1.1 (November
2018), the Carolina madtom is a freshwater fish known to occur in the Atlantic Slope drainages of
the Tar-Pamlico and Neuse River basins. They are typically found in medium to large streams with
moderate gradient in riffles, runs, and pools with current. They require clear, flowing water with a
stream bottom substrate of leaf litter, sand, gravel, or small cobble (USFWS Species Status
Assessment Report for the Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus), Version 1.1, November 2018).
According to the USFWS IPaC report for this project, the proposed water transmission main is
outside the critical area for the Carolina madtom.
The water transmission main crosses one creek, Mahlers Creek, but it is unlikely to provide
favorable habitat for the Carolina madtom, as the creek crossing location is characterized by
erosion, silt deposition, and high use of septic systems.
During construction of the water main, erosion and sedimentation control measures will be used to
protect the stream, and the creek crossing will be limited to 40 feet in stream length. The water
main will be buried below the stream bed, and the banks will be restored with like stakes.
Clams
Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni)
The Atlantic pigtoe is proposed to be listed as threatened. According to the USFWS’ Species Status
Assessment Report for the Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), Version 1.2, March 2017, the Atlantic
pigtoe is a freshwater mussel that was once known to occur in the Atlantic Slope drainages from the
James River Basin in Virginia to the Altamaha River in Georgia. They feed by filtering algae, bacteria,
and other microorganisms from the water, and they rely on various species of fish to serve as hosts
for reproduction. They are typically found in clean, moderate flowing water with high dissolved
oxygen levels and silt-free substrates (USFWS Species Status Assessment Report for the Atlantic
pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), Version 1.2, March 2017). According to the USFWS IPaC report for this
project, the proposed water transmission main is outside the critical area for the Atlantic pigtoe.
The water transmission main crosses one creek, Mahlers Creek, but it is unlikely to provide
favorable habitat for the Atlantic pigtoe, as the creek crossing location is characterized by erosion,
silt deposition, and high use of septic systems.
During construction of the water main, erosion and sedimentation control measures will be used to
protect the stream, and the creek crossing will be limited to 40 feet in stream length. The water
main will be buried below the stream bed, and the banks will be restored with like stakes.
Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon)
The dwarf wedgemussel is listed as endangered. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s
species profile on the Dwarf Wedgemussel (updated August 24, 2017), the dwarf wedgemussel is a
small bivalve with greenish-brown shells with green rays that appear black or brown in older
animals. They are found in a variety of stream sizes, substrates, and flow conditions but usually live
in hydrologically stable areas. The dwarf wedgemussel is known to occur in Swift Creek,
downstream of the water transmission main project area.
The water transmission main crosses one creek, Mahlers Creek, but it is unlikely to provide
favorable habitat for the dwarf wedgemussel, as the creek crossing location is characterized by
erosion, silt deposition, and high use of septic systems.
During construction of the water main, erosion and sedimentation control measures will be used to
protect the stream, and the creek crossing will be limited to 40 feet in stream length. The water
main will be buried below the stream bed, and the banks will be restored with like stakes.
Yellow Lance (Elliptio lanceolata)
The yellow lance is listed as threatened. According to the USFWS’ Species Status Assessment Report
for the yellow lance (Elliptio lanceolata), Version 1.3, January 2018, the yellow lance is a small,
bright yellow freshwater mussel found in Atlantic Slope drainages from the upper Chesapeake
River Basin in Maryland to the Neuse River Basin in North Carolina. They feed by filtering plankton,
bacteria, and other microorganisms from the water, and they rely on various species of fish to serve
as hosts for reproduction. They are typically found in clean, coarse to medium sand at the
downstream end of stable sand/gravel bars. It requires clean, moderate flowing water with high
dissolved oxygen levels (USFWS’ Species Status Assessment Report for the yellow lance (Elliptio
lanceolata), Version 1.3, January 2018).
The water transmission main crosses one creek, Mahlers Creek, but it is unlikely to provide
favorable habitat for the yellow lance, as the creek crossing location is characterized by erosion, silt
deposition, and high use of septic systems.
During construction of the water main, erosion and sedimentation control measures will be used to
protect the stream, and the creek crossing will be limited to 40 feet in stream length. The water
main will be buried below the stream bed, and the banks will be restored with like stakes.
Flowering Plants
Michaux’s sumac (Rhus michauxii)
Michaux’s sumac is listed as endangered. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s Michaux’s
Sumac species profile (updated August 25, 2011), Michaux’s sumac is a rhizomatous shrub that
occurs in sandy or rocky open woods. It depends on disturbance such as highway right-of-way
maintenance, plowed field edges, or fires to maintain its open habitat.
The project area is adjacent to an existing easement; however, the easement through the wetland
area is cleared and maintained, and the wetland is an emergent herbaceous wetland. The right-of-
way along the roads contains residential front yards with mowed grass species, sidewalks, and
subdivisions; therefore, habitat is not favorable for Michaux’s sumac. The project is not anticipated
to adversely affect the Michaux’s sumac.

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

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://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/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
