SUBJECT: 401 Certification
Pope Air Force Base Munitions Built-Up Road
NW 26, No.92154
Cumberland County
The subject project involves the placement of fill (approximately .044
acre)in an area of wetland adjacent to an existing munitions storage area at
Pope AFB. The purpose of the fill is to provide an access road whereby entry
to the facility can be made without travel on public roads. Site evaluation
revealed no significant wetland uses, other than the habitat provided for the
red cockaded woodpecker. Due to the nature of the facility, it is reasonable
to require this facility to be in a location not accessible to or travelled by
the public. Since this site is basically surrounded by wetlands, there is no
simple alternative other than the one proposed.
It is therefore the recommendation of this office that the requested
certification be granted.
If additional information or clarification is required, please advise.

1. The purpose of this letter is to obtain expedient review and processing of
the attached Water Quality Certification application (Atch 1). The
application is for construction of a road that will cross 100 linear feet of
wetlands. The route of the proposed crossing has been placed directly over an
existing unimproved fire lane right-of-way to minimize disturbance to the
natural area.
2. This access road project is part of the ongoing Pope AFB realignment
required for mission expansion under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment
Act of 1990. The Wilmington District Corps of Engineers has authorized this
construction under Nationwide Permit Number 14 (Atch 2). An Environmental
Assessment was accomplished for the realignment according to the guidelines
established by the National Environmental Policy Act and Executive Order
11990. The result was a finding of No Significant Impact. However, this road
was not included. Therefore, we are amending the Environmental Assessment to
include construction of this road based on a finding of no praticable
alternative and minimal impact to the area.
3. The A-10 aircraft will arrive at Pope AFB in April 1992. A delay in
construction of this proposed road will require tranfers of munitions over two
public roads, using our Manchester road entry gate. This situation is not
very safe or operationally efficient. Therefore, prompt processing of this
application will be greatly appreciated. Our point-of-contact is Mr Dave
McLintock, at [phone]/4863.

Re: Cultural resources reconnaissance survey, Pope Air
Force Base, Cumberland County, N.C., ER 84-8075
Dear Mr. Ehrenhard:
Thank-you for your letter of June 20, 1984 cojicerning the above project.
We have reviewed the survey report and would like to offer the following
comments.
While we agree that the Administration Buildi,ig and Hangers 4 and S 'do
deserve further study, based on their architectural interest, it would
be helpful to know more about the overall character of the base's built
environment in ordgr'to place these particular buildings into proper
context. Thus, we would like to have seen thy, report reflect a little
more in-depth assessment of the building fabric on the base. In addi-
tion, your survey report represents the extej,:: of our knowledge, at this
point, of resources at Pope Air Force,BAse, a_; our surveyor was unable
to get access to the base during a 1978 inveneory of historic resources
in Cumberland County.
:r
We feel that the Administration Building and dangers 4 and 5 are potentially
eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and
would support their nomination. Although it appears their major signifi-
cance will be in terms of architectural character, historical associations
should also be investigated and documented.
Even though your archaeological reconnaissance of the base did not
include subsurface tests, nor an evaluation c,f background data outside
of that provided by the previous Fort Bragg c•tudy, we believe your
opinions are reliable reflections of the low probability for potentially
eligible National Register sites within the r•oundaries of the base.
Therefore, considering your observations and the substantial'areas of
disturbance known to exist at Pope Air Force Base, we withdraw our
previous recommendation for an archaeological survey and recommend no
further archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with
this project.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment upon this report.
We are pleased that attempts are being made iJ identify significant
cultural resources at Pope and feel your repc•rt provides a good basis
for beginning to understand what is there.

Re: Cultural resources reconnaissance survey, Pope Air
Force Base, Cumberland County, N.C., ER 84-8075
Dear Mr. Ehrenhard:
Thank-you for your letter of June 20, 1984 co;ccerning the above project.
We have reviewed the survey report and would like to offer the following
comments.
While we agree that the Administration Building and Hangers 4 and 5 do
deserve further study, based on their architectural interest, it would
be helpful to know more about the overall character of the base's built
environment in ordgr'to place these particular buildings into proper
context. Thus, we would like W have seen thy: report reflect a little
more in-depth assessment of the building fabric on the base. In addi-
tion, your survey report represents the extej,c: of our knowledge, at this
point, of resources at Pope Air Force.BAse, a.; our surveyor was unable
to get access to the base during a 1978 inventory of historic resources
in Cumberland County.
i
We feel that the Administration Building and hangers 4 and 5 are potentially
eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and
would support their nomination. Although it appears their major signifi-
cance will be in terms of architectural character, historical associations
should also be investigated and documented.
Even though your archaeological reconnaissance of the base did not
include subsurface tests, nor an evaluation cif background data outside
of that provided by the previous Fort Bragg c•tudy, we believe your
opinions are reliable reflections of the low probability for potentially
eligible National Register sites within the k-oundaries of the base.
Therefore, considering your observations and the substantial'areas of
disturbance known to exist at Pope Air Force Dase, we withdraw our
previous recommendation for an archaeological survey and recommend no
further archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with
this project.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment upon this report.
We are pleased that attempts are being made to identify significant
cultural resources at Pope and feel your repc•rt provides a good basis
for beginning to understand what is there. .._..

0 5 MAR 1992
U.S. Fish and Wildife Service
Attn: Ms Scruggs
551F Pylon Dr
Raleigh, 27606
Dear Ms Scruggs,
Pope Air Force Base (AFB) NC is in the process or realigning its mission under
the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990. Although the realignment
will involve a substantial number of construction projects (see Atchs 1 and 2),
most will consist of remodeling of existing facilities, construction on existing
sites, or similar activities that clearly have no potential for affecting listed
species. Several activities will be taking place in the vicinity of listed
species or their habitat, however, and we wish to inform you of these activities,
and explain to you our reasons for concluding that.they, too, have no potential
for affecting listed species. If, in your review of this document, you should
conclude otherwise or require additional data, we would greatly appreciate your
immediately notifying Mr Roy Barker of this office at FTS 558-2909. Because
these projects are not individually dependent upon eachother, we request that you
consider the projects individually, so that difficulties with one project do not
needlessly impede another.
a. Gun Berm. This involves the creation of a earthen mound for use as a
safety backstop during emergency maintenance of malfunctioning aircraft guns.
The project will cover an existing paved surface, as well as an area that is
currently turf grasses that are constantly maintained by mowing. Although in the
vicinity of viable red-cockaded woodpecker habitat, the project site has no
potential for development as habitat for any listed species as it is at the end
of a runway, and must be maintained as open as practical.
b. Trim Pad. Located adjacent to the Gun Berm, this site for performing
pre-fl.ight adjustments to aircraft expands an existing paved surface onto
adjacent turf grass. Like the Gun Berm, this site is clearly not habitat for any
listed species, nor is it a practical site for development of habitat.
c. Interim Munitions Storage Area. This project involves the paving of
an existing gravel-surfaced area, plus the construction or modification of
several small structures on the existing site. The site will be used for
approximately two years, during which a permanent site (anticipated to be sited
on Ft Bragg, and which will be the subject of separate consultation with your
office) will be selected and constructed. The existing site is surrounded by
known red-cockaded woodpecker habitat, but all construction will be limited to
the area currently covered by gravel.
d. Interim Munitions Storage Area Access Road (Atch 3). This project is
treated as a separate action because the operation of the Munitions Storage Area
is not dependent on the construction of this road. An existing road offers

practical access. However, construction of the planned road will significantly
improve the safety and efficiency of moving munitions to and from the Munitions
Storage Area. At present an unimproved path follows the route of the proposed
road. Occasional vehicle traffic on the path has resulted in compaction of the
soil. The proposed road will be approximately 150' long, with a 15'-wide paved
surface. The end near the Munitions Storage Area will require approximately one
foot of fill,.while the far end will require approximately five feet. Allowing
for contouring of the fill beyond the edge of the paved surface, we anticipate
that the road would have a footprint width of about 23 feet, including the
currently compacted area. The site is dominated by loblolly pines (probably
second growth, dating to the 1920s). Trees are typically in the 7-inch DBH
class, and approximately 50-60' tall, with a typical spacing of about 15 feet.
The understory, although not parklike, is generally less than two feet tall, with
scattered young bay trees and loblolly pines. There is no midstory. We are
informed by Ft Bragg environmental division staff that the site has been
professionally surveyed for listed plant species (i.e.,
Lindera melissaefolia, Lysimachia asperulaefolia,Oxypoliso canbyi, and iRhus
michauxii), but that none were found. The road will pass through area known to
provide habitat for the red cockaded woodpecker. Seven loblolly pines (7-15"
DBH) are found within twenty feet of the centerline of the road: four of these
trees lie within 12 feet of the centerline. Although construction activity will
not involve removal of any trees, it is possible that several of these trees may
be adversely affected by the deposition of fill. However, we cannot conclude
that an eventuality of such minimal scope would have a significant affect on the
red cockaded woodpecker.
One planned activity - the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Range - will involve
a more substantial removal of trees from red-cockaded woodpecker habitat. The
site may also support listed plants. Because surveys are still to be completed,
we are not yet in a position to address Endangered Species Act issues for the
site. Construction of the EOD Range will not commence until those issues are
addressed and resolved in consolation with your office.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
