The proposed project will construct approximately 2.46 miles of two lane rural road with adjacent multiuse trails including an approximately 710' long bridge over the South Fork of the Rivanna River (Figure 1). RK&K has performed a RT&E species due diligence review of the project corridor, coordinated with the environmental resource agencies with RT&E species oversight in Virginia and updated information that was provided by VDOT. In summary, there are no anadromous fish use streams, no cold water streams, no managed trout streams, no Bald Eagle concentration areas or nests, no state listed plants or insect species, no adverse impact to natural heritage resources or natural area preserves and no threatened or endangered waters within the construction limits of the proposed activity, including any temporary impacts, utility relocations or other attendant activities. The project will have "no effect" on the federally endangered James Spinymussel (Pleurobema collina) because no in -stream work will occur within the South Fork of the Rivanna River. The project is "not likely to adversely affect" the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) (NLEB) because a time of year restriction between April 15 and September 15 will be applied within the project's right of way from Station 139+00 to Station 171+00. The results of RK&K's RT&E species review and evaluation are further documented in this report. 2.0 INTRODUCTION The project is located in Albemarle County, Virginia. The proposed project will construct approximately 2.46 miles of two lane rural road with adjacent multiuse trails and 710' bridge over the South Fork of the Rivanna River. The project limits begin at Hilton Heights Road and end at the roundabout on Towncenter Drive. In August 2014, VDOT completed preliminary RT&E reviews of the project corridor utilizing online database services of the Virginia Fish and Wildlife Information Service (VaFWIS) and the Department of Conservation and Recreation - Natural Heritage (DCR-NH) to determine the project's potential effects on threatened and endangered species. This search identified the potential for the James Spinymussel (Pleurobema collina) in the vicinity of the project area, which is state and federal listed endangered RT&E species. The search also indicated hits for anadromous fish, DCR DNH state listed Natural Heritage Site, and T&E waters in the vicinity of the project. -3- Rare, Threatened and Endangered Species Report 9999-002-900/UPC#106137 Figure 1. Aerial view of Project Corridor 3.0 AGENCY COORDINATION RK&K performed field habitat assessments to evaluate the existing environmental conditions within the project area to correctly identify and assess effects to RT&E species potentially affected by the project. RK&K secured an Official Species List from the USFWS - IPaC (Appendix A), reviewed the Virginia Bald Eagle nest survey for the 2013 breeding season from the Center for Conservation Biology (CCB) (Appendix B), and updated the VDGIF — VaFWIS report (Appendix C), the DCR-NH information (Appendix D), and prepared a Species Conclusion Table (Appendix E), and completed the USFWS on-line project review certification letter (Appendix F). RK&K consulted with the USFWS on June 25, 2015 by utilizing the IPaC System to gather information on listed endangered and/or threatened plant and animal species that may occur -4- Rare, Threatened and Endangered Species Report 9999-002-900/UPC#106137 within the project area or may be affected by the proposed project. RK&K secured an official species list to fulfill the requirements of the USFWS under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The USFWS June 25, 2015, Official Species List (Appendix A) indicated that there is potential for the occurrence of the following species within the project area: Federal Endangered/State Endangered: James spinymussel (Pleurobema collina) Federal Threatened/State Threatened: Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) The Northern long-eared bat was listed as federally threatened on May 4, 2015 and therefore was not a part of agency coordination performed by VDOT in 2014. RK&K coordinated with the CCB on June 25, 2015 utilizing the eagle nest locator mapping portal to gather information on bald eagle nest locations and known concentration areas that may occur within the project area or that may be affected by the proposed project (Appendix B). RK&K coordinated with the DGIF on June 25, 2015 by utilizing the VaFWIS which provides the most current and comprehensive information about Virginia's wildlife resources. The database information indicated that the following species are known or likely to occur within a two mile radius of the project area (Appendix Q. Federal Endangered/State Endangered: James spinymussel (Pleurobema collina) Federal Threatened/State Threatened: Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) State Endangered: brook floater (Alamidonta varicoso) State Threatened: peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), upland sandpiper (Bartramia longicauda), loggerheaded shrike (Lanius ludovicianus), Appalachian grizzled skipper (Pyrgus wyandot), green floater (Lasmigona subviridis), Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), and migrant loggerheaded shrike (Lanius ludovicianus migrans) RK&K coordinated with the DCR-NH on June 25, 2015 by utilizing the Natural Heritage Data Explorer (NHDE), a searchable species and natural community database that provides lists of resources that occur in specific counties, watersheds, sub watersheds or physiographic regions. DCR-NH data only indicated resources in the South Fork of the Rivanna River. No other natural heritage resources, state -listed plant or insect species, or state natural area preserves were in the project area (Appendix D). - 5 - Rare, Threatened and Endangered Species Report 9999-002-900/UPC#106137 4.0 HABITAT ASSESSMENT AND DATA REVIEW RK&K performed a habitat assessment of the biological and physical characteristics within the project area to determine whether conditions may be suitable for supporting RT&E species. The project corridor is a mix of forest, residential, and commercial. A large industrial facility is located in the vicinity of the project as well as cleared pasture and a field of cell towers. Several streams cross the project, all eventually flowing to the South Fork of the Rivanna River downstream of the dam. To address the NELB as potentially occurring within the project area, RK&K contracted with Stantec to conduct acoustic surveys for the NELB to determine the presence/probable absence of NLEB within the project during the approved summer survey window of May 15 to August 15. Stantec conducted acoustic surveys between the nights of July 22 and July 23, 2015. Surveys followed methods described in a project specific NLEB Study Plan submitted to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on July 11, 2015 and approved by USFWS on July 17, 2015. The work plan was based on the 2015 Range -wide Indiana Bat Summer Survey Guidelines (USFWS Guidelines), which USFWS recommends be applied to NLEB surveys throughout the species' range. Per methods outlined in the 2015 Survey Guidelines: Phase 2 Acoustic Surveys, a minimum of 2 detector nights per 0.6 miles are required for linear projects over a period of at least 2 calendar nights (Appendix G). Acoustic bat surveys, followed current USFWS Guidelines and the USFWS approved project specific NLEB Study Plan, occurred during nights with suitable conditions, collecting the appropriate number of detector nights of valid data based on the extent of potential habitat within the project area. Detectors functioned properly during the eight detector nights that were analyzed. BCID software identified a total of 761 bat passes, five of which were identified by BCID analysis as NLEB at detector A2 (4) and A4 (1). The MILE for the NLEB detection at A4 did not meet the USFWS criteria for confirmation of probable presence, which was corroborated by qualitative analysis. While the MILE for the four detections at acoustic detector met the USFWS criteria for probable presence, one of the four files was determined to unlikely be NLEB, based upon qualitative analysis (Appendix G). 5.0 FINDINGS AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTMENTS RK&K's review of the updated VDOT and resource agency information concluded that there is no anadromous fish use streams, no cold water streams, no managed trout streams, no Bald Eagle concentration areas or nests, no state listed plants or insect species, no adverse impact to natural heritage resources or natural area preserves and no threatened or endangered waters within the construction limits of the proposed activity, including any temporary impacts, utility Rare, Threatened and Endangered Species Report 9999-002-900/UPC#106137 relocations or other attendant activities. Erosion sediment controls and stormwater management have been incorporated into the design of the project to further avoid and minimize the effects of erosion and sedimentation in the project area to the greatest extent possible. Further review indicates that the project will have "no effect" on the federally endangered James Spinymussel (Pleurobema collina) because no in -stream work will occur within the South Fork of the Rivanna River. RK&K reviewed the results of the acoustic monitoring surveys which indicate a probable presence of NLEB confirmation within the corridor north of the Rivanna River in the vicinity of acoustic detector #2 and probable absence of NLEB confirmed south of the Rivanna River. The JV will apply a time of year restriction between April 15 to September 15 within the project's right of way from Station 139+00 to Station 171+00 which is the area of the project that was represented by the 0.6 mile segment evaluated by acoustic detector #2 which was located at approximate Station #155+00, north of the South Fork Rivanna River. Based on the implementation of the time of year restriction discussed, RKK concludes that project is "not likely to adversely affect" the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). Therefore, the construction of this project will comply with the Federal Endangered Species Act (50 CFR Parts 18, 228 and 402), the Endangered Plant and Insect Species Act (2VAC5-320-10 and §§3.1-1020 through 3.1-1030, Code of Virginia) and the State Endangered Species Law (4VAC15-20-130 and Title 29.1-563 et seq., Code of Virginia). -7- Appendix A U.S. Fish Wildlife Service Official Species List V r µ ", FTS}{.9t W2LLLIEB 1` �United States Department of the Interior 58R� $ g FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE crr iA,% Virginia Ecological Services Field Office 6669 SHORT LANE " GLOUCESTER, VA 23061 PHONE: (804)693-6694 FAX: (804)693-9032 URL: www.fws.gov/northeast/virginiafield/ Consultation Code: 05E2VA00-2015-SLI-2496 June 25, 2015 Event Code: 05E2VA00-2015-E-02535 Project Name: Berkmar Drive Extension 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 enclosed species list 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. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq. ), Federal agencies are required to utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the 'Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF 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/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/comtow.html. We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project planning to further the purposes of the Act.

File: 203400492 Date: August 18, 2015 Reference: Acoustic Bat Surveys at the Route 29 Berkmar Drive Extension INTRODUCTION RK&K(Client) hasretained Stantec Consulting Serviceslnc. (Stantec) to determine the presence or probable absence of the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotisseptentrionalis) (NLEB) in woodland habitat associated with the Rte. 29 BerkmarDrive Extension (Project). The project isan approximately 2.46 mile linear corridor in Albemarle County, Virginia. The proposed corridor is situated northwest of Seminole Trail (Route 29) and extendsfrom Berkmar Drive northeast to connect with Town Center Drive. Stantec Consulting Serviceslnc. (Stantec) conducted acoustic surveysbetween the nightsof July 22 and July 23, 2015. Surveysfollowed methods described in a project specific NLEBStudy Plan submitted to the USHsh and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on July 11, 2015 and approved by USFWSon July 17, 2015. The work plan wasbased on the 2015 Range -wide Indiana Bat Summer Survey Guidelines(USFWSGuidelines), which USFWSrecommends be applied to NLEBsurveysthroughout the species range. M EfHO DS Stantec used one "zero -crossing" Anabat model SD1 bat detector(Titley Electronics, Queensland, Australia) and three Wildlife AcousticsSM3BATacoustic bat detectorsfor this project. Stantec deployed detectors according to the criteria in the USFWSGuidelines, greaterthan —1.5 meters(m) above ground, orienting the detectorsalong the edge of potential flight corridors, and away from vegetation that could block detection of bat passes. Priorto deployment, the Anabat detector wasinspected in the field to confirm it wasoperating normally (microphone "scratch test", sensitivity adjustment, battery voltage). The Anabat detector was deployed at 12' above the ground surface in a customized weatherproof boxwith a 45 degree angle PVC elbow to protect the microphone, oriented at a 45-degree angle below horizontal. Priorto the deployment of the SM3BATdetectors, each microphone wastested with an Ultrasonic Calibratorto verify that the microphone was performing properly. The SM 3BATd etecto rs were set to record zero crossing data, to be consistent, and function wasverified in the field. The microphonesforthe SM3BATd etectors were deployed at approximately 2m above the ground surface at a 45-degree angle above horizontal. An SM3-Horn attachment wasaffixed on the microphones, which convertsthe omnidirectional microphonesto highly directional. We selected preliminary survey sitesalong the 2.46-mile corridor based on the extent of potential NLEBhabitat, which we considered to be any forested area within the project area. Final detector placement wasdetermined in the field, and we recorded the location of each detectorwith a TrimbleTm GeoExplorer6000 GPSunit. We photographed each unit and recorded relevant details such assurrounding habitat and detector function on datasheets. We programmed detectorsto record from sunset to sunrise, and confirmed proper detector function priorto deployment. Design with community in mind {W4967490.1 } (3 5tantec August 18, 2015 Re 29 Berkmar Drive Extension Page 2 Wference: Acoustic Bat Surveys at Me 29 BerkmarDrive Extension Detectorswere left in place until weather conditions met the criteria in the USFWSGuidelines(no fog or precipitation, sustained wind speedslessthan 9 miles/hourand temperatures above 50' Fduring the first 5 hoursof each survey night) fortwo nights. We based weather observations on data from the Charlottesville Airport weatherstation. Following two weather appropriate nightsof data collection, we downloaded data from the Anabat detectorusing CFCread software (Version 4.4u, Tetley Bectronics) and data from the SM3BATdetectorswasdownloaded from flash cardsdirectly onto a PC. We inspected nightly foldersto see whetherthey contained files, which typically indicatesthat detectorswere recording bats and/or other ultrasonic signals. Trevor Peterson, a USFWSapproved acoustic surveyor, supervised the analysisof the data using BCID software (version 2.7c), using regional species setting sforVirginia, and inspected filesvisually to evaluate the accuracy of species identification, focusing on any filesidentified asrare species. We determined that locationswithin the 2.46-mile corridor contained potential NLEBhabitat (forest) and therefore deployed fouracoustic detectorsat four locations (Figure 1; Table 1). Remaining areasof the proposed corridorconsist of non -forested habitat, including pasture, secondary roads, and utility easements. Surveysoccurred between July 22 and July 23, 2015. AppendixA includes descriptionsand a representative photograph of each acoustic survey site, and Appendix B contains datasheetsforeach site. Detectorswere operated successfully for two nightsat each site, yielding a total of eight detector nightsthat were analyzed. Based on analysisusing BCID software, batswere detected at all four sites, fora total of 761 bat passesdetected. NLEBwasdetected at A2 on 7/22/15 (4) and 7/23/15 (1) and A4 on 7/22/15 (1), according to BCID software. the program also identified other species within the project corridor including the silver -haired bat (Lasfonycterisnoctivagans, LAND) (n = 49), big brown bat (Eptesfcusfuscus, EPFU) (n = 255), little brown bat (Myotislucifugus, MYLU) (n = 39), hoary bat (Lasiuruscinereus; LACI) (n = 2), eastern red bat (Lasiurusborealis;LABO) (n = 238), eastern pipistrelle bat (Perimyotis sub fla vus�PEW (n = 151), small -footed bat (Myotisleibii; MYLE) (n = 7) and 15 individual filesthat could not be identified to species. Only one bat wasdetected at Al (MYLE), south of the Rivanna River, and the detector was confirmed to be functional upon collection from the field. A summary of the numberof Myotisfiles identified by speciesand maximum likelihood index (MLE) are included on Table 2. USFWSconsidersa MLEvalue of 0.05 or lowera confirmation of probable presence of a species. the MLEforthe NLEBdetectionsat A2 were all lowerthan 0.05, while the detection at A4 wasabove 0.05 (0.322), both of which are north of the Rvanna River. Because five fileswere identified asNLEB, a detailed visual analysiswasconducted. The qualitative analysis confirmed that three of the fourfiles identified by BCID at A2 were likely NLEB. The fourth file at A2 and the file forA4 do not appearto be NI EBand are more likely a feeding buzzorcluttered call of a LABO. In addition, detailed analysisof all Myotiscalls, including 39 MYLU and 7 MYLE(Table 2), wasconducted and none appeared to be NLEB.

Detectors functioned properly during the eight detector nightsthat were analyzed. BCID software identified a total of 761 bat passes, five of which were identified by BCID analysis asNLEBat detectorA2 (4) and A4 (1). the MLEforthe NLEBdetection at A4 did not meet the USFWScriteria forconfirmation of probable presence, which wascorroborated by qualitative analysis. While the MLEforthe four detectionsat acoustic detectormet the USFWScrite ria forprobable presence, one of the fourfiles wasdetermined to unlikely be NLEB, based upon qualitative analysis. therefore, asa result of the acoustic survey, probable presence of NLEBhasbeen confirmed within the corridornorth orthe Rivanna Riverand probable absence of NLEBhasbeen confirmed south of the Rivanna River.

(Stantec)to provide environmental servicesforthe Rte. 29 Berkmar Drive Extension (Project), an approximately 2.46 mile linearproject in Charlottesville, Virginia. The proposed project issituated northwest of Seminole Trail (Route 29) and extendsfrom Berkmar Drive northeast to connect with Town Center Drive. The northern long- eared bat (Myotisseptentrionalis) hasrecently been identified aspotentially occurring within the Project area. The northern long-eared bat (NLEB) hasbeen listed at the federal level asthreatened, with an interim 4(d) rule, underthe Endangered Species Act, which became effective on May 4, 2015. Due to the project schedule, RK&Kwishesto conduct surveysforNLEB, assuming that no time of yearrestriction would be needed if no northern long-eared batsare documented within the project area. Thiswork scope describes proposed methodsand level of effort foracoustic surveysto determine the presence/probable absence of NLEBwithin the Project during the approved summersurvey window (May 15 to August 15). The following work scope follows methods described in AppendixC of the 2015 Range -wide Indiana Bat Summer Survey Guidelines(2015 Survey Guidelines)' and includesa sampling plan forconducting acoustic bat surveys. The 2.46 mile Project area contains approximately 40 acresof forested habitat (generally immature/semi-mature mixed pine and deciduous) and the remaining consists of non -forested habitat, including pasture, secondary roads, and utility easements. The project also crossesthe Rivanna Riverand several streams channels. Forthe purposesof thiswork scope, we assume that all forested areas provide potential roost habitat for northern long-eared bats. The goal of the acoustic survey isto determine if the species is actually utilizing areasof potential habitat in the Project area during the summermaternity season in 2015. 1 The USFWShasindicated that the 2015 -Survey Guidelinesare to be used to detect presence of northern long-eared batsaswell aslndiana bats(Myotissodalis).

Stantec proposesto perform the work in accordance with the accepted protocol, deploying 4 acoustic bat detectorsat 4 locationsin the Project area forat least 2 calendarnights, resulting in 8 detector nightsof effort. 7hislevel of effort meetsthe minimum level of effort outlined by the USFWSprotocol. Data will be analyzed only forthe first 2 nightssurveyed at each site during which weather conditions meet the parameters outlined in the 2015 Survey Guidelines (temperatures remain above 50' F, precipitation/fog for no more than 30 minutes, and sustained wind speedsnot exceeding 9 miles/hour during the first 5 hoursof each survey night). Verification of weather conditions will be based on hourly data collected by the nearby weather station at the Charlottesville Regional Airport. Should these conditionsnot be met, detectorswill be left in place foradditional nightsuntil data hasbeen collected on two survey nightswith weather conditionsthat meet the criteria listed above. Stantec will use Anabat (Tetley Scientific, Queensland, Australia) acoustic bat detectors(modelAnabat II/CFzcaim, SD1, orSD2) or Wildlife AcousticsSM3BAT acoustic bat detectors for this Project. We will deploy detectors according to the criteria in the 2015 Survey Guidelines, positioning detectorsin potential flight corridorsand otherareasthat would be suitable asNLEBforaging habitat. Potential locations, based on desktop analysisof forested and non -forested areashave been identified (Figure 1). These locationswill be assessed on the ground during deployment, and precise detector locationswill be selected during the first deployment day on site based on criteria in the 2015 Bat Guidelines. Detectorswill be placed in open areaswithin forested habitatssuch that vegetation doesnot block the detector microphone'sarea of reception. Coordinatesof the final detector locationswill be recorded using a handheld GPSunit, and photographsof each location will be taken, showing both the surrounding habitat and the "detector -view". Relevant habitat information will be recorded on a Stantec field datasheet (see attached). Noteson surrounding habitat, detector deployment and operation, and analysisalso will (3 Stantec sa vA 2034\ promotion\ 1996504713\ study plan\ rpt_nleb_rte29_berkmar_stud y_plan_20150711.docx 2 NORTHERN LONG-EARED BAT(MYOTIS SEPTENTRIONAUS) ACOUSTIC SURVEY STUDY PLAN be recorded. Personnel responsible fordeploying and downloading detectors and analyzing data will also be recorded on the datasheets. The Anabat detectors, if used, will be deployed approximately 1.5 m above ground level in waterproof boxeswith 45-degree PVC elbows(1.5-inch diameter) oriented slightly above the horizontal to sample an optimal volume of airspace while providing adequate weatherproofing. The audio sensitivity setting of each Anabat system will be set between 6 and 7 (on a scale of 1 to 10) to maximize sensitivity while limiting ambient background noise and interference. The unitswill be powered eitherby internal alkaline batteriesorby a 12-volt gel battery charged by a solar panel. Detectorswill be programmed to record beginning at least 30 minutesbefore sunset until at least 30 minutes after sunrise. The SM3BATdetectors, if used, will be deployed with SMM-U1 Ultrasonic Microphones situated approximately 1.5 m above ground level oriented at a 45- degree angle. An SM3-Horn attachment will be affixed on the microphones, which convertsthe omnidirectional microphone to highly directional. The audio and data storage settingswill be set according to defaults recommended by the manufacturer, with detectors programmed to record from 30 minutesbefore sunset until 30 minutes after sunrise. Priorto the deployment of the microphones, each microphone will be tested with an Ultrasonic Calibratorforthe SM313ATto verify that the microphone isperforming properly. The unitswill be powered either by internal alkaline batteries. Stantec will processacoustic data using BCID software (version 2.7c) forAnabat data or Kaleidoscope Pro software SM313atdata. Both programsare included on the USFWS list of approved candidate software packagesfor rare bat identification. We will analyze only the first 2 nightsof valid data from each site that meet the required weather parameters described above. Output parametersof the programswill be saved foreach detectornight. The number of filesrecorded during each detectornight will be noted on the datasheets, along with the numberof filesidentified asNLEBsand the maximum likelihood ratio calculated by the software program foreach detectornight of data per site. If software indicates unlikely presence of NLEB, no further analysis is required. Stantec will visually inspect each call file identified asa listed species. If (3 Stantec sa vA 2034\ promotion\ 1996504713\ study plan\ rpt_nleb_rte29_berkmar_stud y_plan_20150711.docx 3 NORTHERN LONG-EARED BAT(MYOTIS SEPTENTRIONAUS) ACOUSTIC SURVEY STUDY PLAN necessary, Stantec may also submit callsto unaffiliated acoustic analysisexperts (e.g., Joe Szewczakfrom Sonobat) forthird party vetting of species identifications, particularly if Stantec suspectsthe possibility of false positive identifications. Stantec will prepare a brief memo report describing the methodsand resultsof the acoustic bat survey, and will provide thisto the Client within 30 daysof the conclusion of the acoustic survey. The report will include completed datasheets forthe survey sites, a map showing location of each survey site, and tables summarizing the output from the identification software. Associated GISdata will be available, and recorded acoustic data, statusfiles, and software output will be retained and made available upon request. Stantec seniorwildlife biologist Trevor Peterson will oversee technical aspectsof the survey including detectorsetup and operation, automated data analysis and any visual QAQC that isrequired. Mr. Peterson isa wildlife biologist with over 10 yearsof experience devising and conducting surveysand assessing potential impactsto birdsand batsasa result of development. He ishighly experienced in operating acoustic units, in conducting visual analysisof bat calls, and in analyzing bat acoustic data using BCID. He hasover5yearsof experience working on bird and bat related issuesin West Virginia and the mid - Atlantic. Stantec seniorecologist Sean Wenderwill be responsible for deployment and recovery of acoustic detectors, documenting properdetector function, recording locationsand habitat notesforeach detector, and taking representative photos. Mr. Wender has conducted habitat surveysforbats over the past 14 yearsthroughout the state of Virginia and hashad acoustic survey training from Bat Conservation International, at the National Conservation Technical Center, and internal training at Stantec.
