Since this is a detailed investigation of jurisdictional <br /> waters, the locations of any wetland, stream, and open water areas <br /> will be located with flagging tape. The stream and wetland areas will <br /> also be field located using hand-held GPS. The end product will <br /> include a digitized map showing the approximate location of any <br /> jurisdictional areas referenced above and a summary of findings. <br /> Concurrence Map — Prepare a concurrence wetland map for the US Army <br /> Corps of Engineers based on the field locations. <br /> Stream, Wetland, & Neuse Buffer Concurrence — Coordinate with the <br /> USACE and NC DWR staff to obtain concurrence of our wetland and <br /> stream buffer delineations. After concurrence, the flagged wetland <br /> and stream locations can be located by our survey crews to form the <br /> basis of a Jurisdictional Determination map, which will serve as the <br /> official wetland and stream document for the site for five (5) years <br /> after approval. <br /> Wetland/Stream Location Survey—Perform a location survey of the flagged <br /> wetlands/streams approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers. <br /> Collect sufficient horizontal and vertical data points (spots locations <br /> and breaks points) throughout the proposed alignments to define <br /> property impacts. Wetlands and Streams are to be located during the <br /> topographic/locations survey tasks. <br /> Endangered Species Assessment — Conduct a threatened and endangered <br /> species assessment of the Phase 1 Water & Sewer Extension Project <br /> Area and adjacent lands for Federally Listed Threatened and <br /> Endangered Species. The property will be traversed on foot to <br /> examine potential habitat and biotic communities which may indicate <br /> the presence of each species.Visual observations of actual species will <br /> be noted if found. Biological conclusion/opinions will be rendered <br /> based on the field examination. The end product will include a <br /> report/correspondence submitted to US Fish and Wildlife Service <br /> requesting concurrence and comment. <br /> Historical/ Cultural Resource Assessment — A cultural resource literature <br /> review of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office <br /> (SHPO) National Registry records will be conducted to determine if <br /> there are any recorded archeological sites, historic structures, <br /> cemeteries, or historic properties within the project area and/or within <br /> 0.25 miles of the project boundary. The project area will be traversed <br /> FOR-17126 <br />
