Please find attached the Certificate of Completion (Attachment 1) for the emergency
construction of two stream crossings associated with a gravel road near Four Oaks NC in
Johnston County (DWQ Project No: 03-0752). The crossings are located at tributaries to White
Oak Branch and were necessary to recover an F-15E jet.
This action was completed in December 2003. The original smaller culverts had to be
replaced with larger (24 inch diameter, 12 feet long) culverts. A memorandum for records
addressing this replacement is attached (Attachment 2).
If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to call Dr. Johanna E. Arnold in
the Environmental Management Office at [phone].

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORDS
DATE: 4 February 2004
SUBJECT: F-15 E Crash Site in Johnston County and Compliance with
Nationwide Permit # 14 (Action ID 200320939) and Section 401
Certification (DWQ Project No. 03-0752)
DETAILS:
Two stream crossings were necessary to provide emergency access to the F-
15E crash site in Johnston County (North Carolina). In order to provide quick
access for recovery of the jet, readily available culverts were installed during the
emergency construction phase in June of 2003. These were later determined to
be too small to facilitate the water flow in the two streams.
In December of 2003 the original smaller culverts were replaced with 24-inch
corrugated pipe culverts.
Stream crossing 1 was provided with two 24-inch corrugated pipe culverts (figure
1 and 2) and stream crossing 2 was provided one 24-inch corrugated pipe culvert
(figure 3 and 4).
A cross section drawing of the culverts and road crossing is attached.
Environmental Office personnel conducted a final inspection on 4 February 2004
and verified the free water flow through the installed culverts.

1095 Peterson Avenue
Seymour Johnson AFB, NC 27531-2355
Dear Mr. Coats:
On June 19, 2003 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your application
regarding your plan to fill waters for the purpose of constructing a road crossing at the proposed F-15E crash site
in Johnston County. Approval from DWQ is required to disturb these areas. Please provide 7 copies of the
following information and refer to the DWQ # (03-0752) listed above in your reply. Please show these on maps
of suitable scale (for instance 1" = 100 feet) so we can begin to determine your project's compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0500.
After reviewing the PCN it is the staff's understanding that the crossing is needed for temporary
access. If this is accurate, please detail your plans to remove the road crossing and re-establish the
streamside 50' foot wide buffer. (Note: satisfactory riparian zone restoration can be accomplished by
the implementation of restoration where at least two native tree species are planted at a density
sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at maturity. This density can be achieved by planting
approximately 436 (10x10 feet spacing) to 681 (8x8 feet spacing) trees per acre. Your plan
must include the types of native woody vegetation selected, methodology of planting, and
site map indicating the location of the plantings how you plan to stabilize disturbed
streamside areas. )
2. Conversely, if the road crossing is intended to be permanent then please provide plans that depict the
crossing and how stormwater will be diverted to diffuse flow through the 50' wide buffer.
Please telephone Danny Smith at 919-733-9716 if you have any questions or would require copies of our
rules or procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of

NC in Johnston County. This gravel road provides safe access for recovery of the F-15E
wreckage from the wooded crash site.
We are simultaneously coordinating the Section 404 permit (Nationwide Permit 14) with the
US Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office.
The required check in the amount of $200.00 for the Section 401 water quality certification is
attached to the front of this package.
If you need further information, please do not hesitate to call Dr. Johanna E. Arnold in the
