Veridea will be a new, sustainable, mixed-use urban community constructed on +/- 1,000 acres within the Town of Apex in Wake County, North Carolina. S&EC worked with the developer by providing listed species surveys, suitable habitat assessments and coordination with local, Federal and State agencies. Project scope involved surveys for Federally Threatened and Endangered species, Federal Species of Concern, and North Carolina listed species along the fall line of the Cape Fear and Neuse River Basins. During site investigations representative species of plant and animal were recorded in order to properly categorize habitat areas on-site.
