73 <br /> Nest 54 Biological Inventory Report Orange County,N.C. <br /> • Significantly Rare — Other - The range of the species is sporadic or cannot be <br /> described by the other Significantly Rare categories. <br /> • Significantly Rare — Peripheral — The species is at the periphery of its range in <br /> North Carolina. These species are generally more common somewhere else in <br /> their ranges,occurring in North Carolina peripherally to their main ranges,mostly <br /> in habitats which are unusual in North Carolina. <br /> • Significantly Rare—Throughout-The species is rare throughout its range(fewer <br /> than 100 populations total). <br /> NCNHP is not a regulatory agency; however,NCPCP,NCWRC, and other state agencies <br /> may include state-listed species when considering project commitments and/or <br /> conservation measures or may require permits if a species is to be collected, moved, or <br /> impacted. Surveys are typically not required (unless a project is on United States Forest <br /> Service [USFS] land, which this project is not); however, an assessment of habitat will <br /> allow for determination of what species have potential to be present,thus providing a more <br /> complete biological assessment of the PSA. Furthermore, a review of existing NCNHP <br /> data within the PSA and within 1.0 mile of the PSA identifies known occurrences of species <br /> that may be impacted by the project. <br /> Tables 4 and 5 list the animal and plant species currently tracked by NCNHP and identify <br /> whether habitat is present within the PSA. A review of the Winter(January)2023 NCNHP <br /> dataset was completed for these species; species with known occurrences within proximity <br /> of the project are identified in the tables. <br /> Table 4.
