APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. Royal H. Dixon, Jr.
AirportManager
Johnston County Airport
3149 Swift Creek Road
Smithfield, NC 27577
Dear Mr. Dixon:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
material in an additional 0.06 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing an access road at
Johnston County Airport, as you described in your application dated 13 February 1997. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3106. This
certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 18 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers. In
addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including
(but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply
Watershed regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless
otherwise specked in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new
application. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation
may be required as described in 15A NCAC 211 .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must
follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
As Mr. Dorney of my staff discussed with Mr. Carroll Triplett, several issues need to be addressed regarding
wetland mitigation for this project:
1. monitoring will be required for at least one additional year;
2. success criteria in the annual reports shall be determined as trees/acre in addition to % survival;
3. soil data (hue, color and chroma) are needed as described in our Certification (#2746) issued June 23,
1992;
4. Was the river birch reported in the annual reports planted or self-seeding;
5. DWQ shall be noted of any additional site visits with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to inspect
the mitigation site; and
6. an additional 0.36 acres of wetland will be debited from the existing on-site creation effort (total of
18.36) acres of wetlands required by DWQ to be created).
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition

Dear Dr. Grantham:
On May 3, 1991, the Johnston County Airport Authority applied for a 401 Water Quality Certification to
impact 10.8 acres of wetlands. In our earlier approval, the Authority was required to create 18.0 acres of wetlands to
compensate for the initial impacts. On June 23, 1992, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) issued Certification No.
2746. We have reviewed the monitoring reports dated January 1995, October 1995 and October 1996. We are unable
to determine whether 18.0 acres of wetlands were created from the reports. Total mitigation requirements for this
project and previous authorizations now total 18:18 acres of created wetlands. Please provide written correspondence
by April 29, 1997, that 18.18 acres of created wetlands have been established on your mitigation site. Since there
have been problems with the mitigation, DWQ is now requiring 5 years of monitoring reports sent to DWQ as also
required by the COE. On February 20, 1997 we received a request to modify our existing Certification. Until we
receive additional information, we are requesting (by copy of this letter, that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers place
your project on administrative hold and not take action on the proposed modification. We will also place this project
on hold and our processing time will not start until this additional information is received.
If you have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.

Dear Mr. Howard:
APR 2 4199/1
W.K. DICKSON-CA,
We acknowledge receipt of your letter dated April 14, 1997 regarding the
status of wetland mitigation efforts at the airport. These projects are funded
with grants from the North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of
Aviation (NCDOA).
Two unrelated projects at the airport have been constructed in wetland areas.
The first project required the mitigation of approximately 10 acres, This
work was performed under COE Action 11) 199200932.
This effort was completed in 1994 and approximately 22.28 acres were
created. Monitoring efforts of the site have been continuous and annual reports
produced. The most recent report was dated October 1996.
On January 15, 1997 we met with members of the NCDOA. COE and
our engineer and sought to demonstrate to the COE that the site had met the
requirements of the permit. The NCDOA desires to close out this project but
this cannot be accomplished until the work is accepted by the COE.
The COE was steadfast in their position the site be successful for three
(3) consecutive years and stated they would not be in a position to accept the
work until this condition had been satisfied.

The COE did agree to review the results of the 1997 monitoring effort at
about the same time next year and If the site is performing above expectations
would entertain a regrJest at that time to accept the work.
The COE will require at least one (1) more year of monitoring.
The second project involved the construction of an airport approach lighting
system. The work was performed under COE Action 10.199505368 and DEM #
55893. A request for modification of this permit was submitted to your office in
February 1997. The COE has approved this request for modification and the
COE's approval, Action ID 199700398 is enclosed for your information. If
separate approval of this modification is required by your agency please notify
me. We are prepared to close out this project but will not if your agency is not
in agreement with the COE's decision.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
Very truly yours,

Dear Ms. Benton-Manuele:
Y4?
T?C?C/FNCFs
We have almost completed the installation of an approach lighting system at
our airport. Progress on the work was hampered by the heavy rainfall during
the summer. Hurricane Fran caused extensive flooding at the airport and the
contractor's work area was especially hard hit.
The permit to construct this light system issued by your office requires that the
contractor's haul road be removed when the work is complete.
This lighting system will require routine monthly inspections and maintenance
and our responsibilities here at the airport will be greatly reduced if were
allowed to retain this haul road. The contractor has stabilized the road with
aggregate and the slopes have been grassed. Other additional measures to
control erosion were installed during its construction. The site has been well
maintained throughout the project.
I have enclosed photographs of the area that were made in November. As you
can see, the site has been minimally impacted and is well maintained.
We respectfully request the special condition of the permit that requires the
removal of the road be waived and the road be allowed to remain in place.
A meeting in your office has been tentatively scheduled for January 15, 1997
and we would like to meet with you at that time to discuss this matter further.

Attachment A
Corps of Engineers Permit, Action ID: 199505368
Johnston County Airport
Smithfield, North Carolina
The Johnston County Airport Authority was granted permission to construct an approach
lighting system under this permit classification on September 7, 1995. The project
required the construction of an access road through a wetland area. Approximately 0.06
acres were filled for the access road. A condition of the approved permit required
removal of the access road upon completion of the project. Circumstances unforeseen
when the original application was submitted now requires the Airport Authority to request
the access road be allowed to remain in place and not be removed.
The access road should not be removed for the following reasons:
1. The approach lights will require routine maintenance. This was already known but the
severity of the terrain was not known before the road was constructed. Routine
maintenance will involve replacement of lamps in the light fixtures and ordinary
maintenance of the electrical wiring. When major repairs are needed, access to the site
by a bucket truck and crane will be required. This will not be possible without the road.
2. Statistically, the area within the immediate approach to an airport is most prone to
experience aircraft disaster. The road will permit ready access of emergency vehicles to
this area in the event of a crash. Victims can be more readily aided and spills by
contaminants can be more easily controlled.
3. The contractor had to stabilize the road with crushed stone and all the area leading up to
the road and surrounding the road has been seeded and stabilized. Removal of the road
may cause more of a problem with erosion than if the road is not removed.
4. The Federal Aviation Administration strongly recommends construction of an access road
adjacent to the light lane for inspection purposes.
