3.8 Orange County ERCD <br />The Orange County ERCD recommends the following: <br />^ A wetlands delineation survey to avoid impacting potential wetland areas with <br />construction. <br />^ A flora and fauna survey to be completed to identify any environmental sensitive areas. <br />The survey should include portions of the streams that may be affected on site including <br />Collins Creek's tributaries. <br />^ A Phase I Cultural Resource Survey prior to construction. <br />3.9 N.C. Department of Cultural Resources -State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) <br />Recommends a comprehensive survey be completed by an experienced archeologist to identify <br />and evaluate significance of potential archeological remains that could be damaged or destroyed <br />by the proposed project. This survey should be completed and submitted to the SHPO for review <br />and comment in advance of any construction activities. <br />~4.® SdJMiV1ARY Oi` PUBLIC ®nnnn~iVTS Et~/~1tDIBdG EST 54 <br />The EA lacks sufficient information.

The wetlands survey further <br />delineated the extent of possible wetlands that had been previously noted in the assessment and the <br />County SWID in the drainage way on the eastern and western sides of the site: This preliminary <br />delineation is shown on the attached Site Plan exhibit. It recommended that this preliminary <br />delineation be surveyed and submitted to the USACE for review and jurisdictional determination. <br />The Flora and Fauna Survey revealed no evidence of endangered species in the proposed area of <br />disturbance. However, the reports note that the streams on site have the potential for Creeper <br />5 April 16, 2009 <br />
