Jimmie Leeds Road, Suite 4 Galloway, NJ 8205 Phone: (609) 646-9310 In Reply Refer To: 09/23/2025 14:34:35 UTC Project Code: 2025-0153069 Project Name: Crestmont Eagle Rock Improvements Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project location 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.). If the enclosed list indicates that any listed species may be present in your action area, please visit the New Jersey Field Office Project Review Guide web page as the next step in evaluating potential project impacts: http://www.fws.gov/northeast/njfieldoffice/Endangered/ consultation.html On the New Jersey Field Office consultation web page you will find: ▪ habitat descriptions, survey protocols, and recommended best management practices for listed species; ▪ recommended procedures for submitting information to this office; and ▪ links to other Federal and State agencies, the Section 7 Consultation Handbook, the Service’s wind energy guidelines, communication tower recommendations, the National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines, and other resources and recommendations for protecting wildlife resources. The enclosed list may change as new information about listed species becomes available. As per Federal regulations at 50 CFR 402.12(e), the enclosed list is only valid for 90 days. Please return to the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation to obtain an updated species list. When using IPaC, be careful about drawing the boundary

for 90 days. Please return to the IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation to obtain an updated species list. When using IPaC, be careful about drawing the boundary of your Project Location. Remember that your action area under the ESA is not limited to just the footprint of the project. The action area also includes all areas that may be indirectly affected through impacts

Project code: 2025-0153069 09/23/2025 14:34:35 UTC such as noise, visual disturbance, erosion, sedimentation, hydrologic change, chemical exposure, reduced availability or access to food resources, barriers to movement, increased human intrusions or access, and all areas affected by reasonably foreseeable future that would not occur without ("but for") the project that is currently being proposed. We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages Federal and non-Federal project proponents to consider listed, proposed, and candidate species early in the planning process. Feel free to contact this office if you would like more information or assistance evaluating potential project impacts to federally listed species or other wildlife resources. Please include the project code in the header of this letter with any correspondence about your project.

Project code: 2025-0153069 09/23/2025 14:34:35 UTC ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT SPECIES There is a total of 4 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list. Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species list because a project could affect downstream species. IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA Fisheries1, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the Department of Commerce. See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office if you have questions. 1. NOAA Fisheries, also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is an office of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the Department of Commerce. 4 of 12
