8 Mountain Valley Pipeline Project Variance A-10 May 25, 2018 State and federal agencies identified areas where plant surveys were required This variance does not occur in any of those areas There are no impacts to aquatic resources associated with this variance and thus no impacts to listed aquatic species The only avian species-specific presence-absence surveys required for the project are scrub-shrub habitat-specific in the state of Virginia, thus do not apply to this variance area On 3/5/2018, Environmental Solutions and Innovations, Inc (ESI) conducted desktop aerial imagery review of the site and determined that it is an existing pre-disturbed proposed site that would not require RTE surveys
