SUBJECT: Duplin County, NC 24 Kenansville Bypass from i-40 to
existing NC 24. TIP ? R-2211A, State Project t,. 6.241008.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes
to construct a multi-lane bypass of Kenansville, North Carolina, and
the 404 permit application is currently under review. On April 19,
1994, a meeting was held to discuss the remaining objections to the
permit application. This letter is provided to discuss the concerns
identified during the meeting and specify the NCDOT's attempts to
avoid and minimize adverse environmental impacts.
After a field review with your representatives, it has been
determined that this project as currently proposed will impact 19.81
acres of wetlands at 28 sites. These sites consist primarily of
hardwood communities associated with intermittently active streams,
and are typical of the North Carolina Coastal Plain. Three of these
streams have been identified by the National Marine Fisheries Service
as anadromous fish habitat.
On February 6, 1990, the Department
Environmental Protection Agency signed a

The NCDOT has considered the potential wetland impacts of this
project from the beginning of the planning stage. Several
alternative alignments were considered for this project. The
M10
possibility of widening existing NC 24 through Kenansville was the
first alternative considered. It was determined that a bypass was
needed on a new location to serve through traffic safely and avoid
disrupting Kenansville's historic character. Under existing
conditions, both local Kenansville traffic and through traffic
utilize NC 24 within Kenansville. It is expected that NC 24 traffic
through Kenansville will continue to increase and will necessitate
the separation of through and local traffic. Existing NC 24 is also
flanked by the Kenansville Historic District with several properties
listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Widening along
the existing roadway would adversely impact this historic district,
as well as other roadside development. The proposed bypass will
avoid these negative impacts, and provide a more safe and efficient
roadway. It is also not considered feasible to widen along existing
NC 903 and SR 1959 due to extensive existing development. There is
little potential for obtaining access control along these alignments.
The lack of access control would result in strip development along
the length of the widened roadway and produce a lower service
facility.
Three new-alignment alternatives were also considered. During
early planning stages, a northerly corridor for the bypass was
examined. This corridor would begin at NC 24-50 west of Kenansville,
bypass the town to the north on new location, then join NC 24 east of
Kenansville. This corridor was rejected due to its potentially
greater wetland takings, and significantly higher cost. The
Environmental Assessment examined two alternatives south of
Kenansville in detail: the proposed alignment (Planning Alternate 2),
and a shorter, more northern alignment (Planning Alternate 1).
Alternate 1 begins at the same western terminal as Alternate 2
(proposed), and takes a more northerly bearing. It intersects NC 11
approximately 0.7 mile south of SR 1959. It then rejoins the
Alternate 2 (proposed) and continues to the same endpoint. This
alignment is approximately 5.5 miles long, 0.3 mile shorter than the
Alternate 2 (proposed). Alternate 2 was selected because it provides
greater distance from the SR 1959 interchange, which will avoid
turning-traffic conflicts, and provide room for a future interchange.
As currently designed, the proposed cross section consists of
two 28-foot pavements separated by a 63 foot median. This will
provide two 12-foot travel lanes with 2-foot paved shoulders for each
direction of travel. A great deal of discussion has taken place over
the feasibility of reducing this median width, and thereby minimizing
wetland impacts. The following table summarizes the NCDOT's analysis
of this concept.

18 acres
19.3 acres

$32,000

At the request of COE personnel, the impact of 0' median is
included for comparison purposes although the design is impractical.
Such a design would be unsafe because it does not allow any freedom
from the interference of opposing traffic and provides no left turn
lanes. However, it indicates that a maximum of 6 acres could be
hypothetically avoided. The 46' median design would reduce the
wetland impact by less than 2 acres, and the 60' median by 0.5 acres.
The proposed 68' median width was selected during the time a
policy change regarding median widths was being considered. It was
selected for added safety and to maximize drainage considerations.
The plans for this project design were completed in December 1993.
The proposed 68 foot median design is based on the need to
provide positive drainage of the pavement's subgrade. While it is
possible to construct a narrower median with median drains that
adequately drain the subgrade, these methods are expected to be
costly and disruptive to maintain.
The benefits lost with a 46' median are significant. This
reduction would cause a significant hydraulic design change with
unfavorable effects. The 46' median would also provide less recovery
area for out of control vehicles and decreases the width needed for
future lanes. A report of the special AASHO Traffic Safety Committee
on "Highway Design and Operational Procedures Related to Highway
Safety" states: "The cross-median accident is unquestionably one of
the most serious on divided highways... A minimum median with of 60
to 80 feet is highly desirable..." (February 1967, pp. 36-37).
There are only marginal benefits in comparing a 60' median to
68'. However, 60 feet is slightly less safe than 68 and slightly
less desirable for drainage purposes.
Based on this analysis, the NCDOT is proposing retention of the
68' median design due to the cost and delays involved compared to the
minimal benefits that would be realized by reducing the median.
The National Marine Fisheries Service has expressed objection to
the type of structures proposed for permit sites 18, 21 and 27. In
their letter they stated concern that the proposed structures could
result in a blockage of access by anadromous species to the upper
reaches of these crossings. Following below is a brief description of
each site along with the proposed structure involved.
Site #18 is a tributary of Tea Swamp serving a watershed of some
370 acres. The existing channel is approximately 4 feet wide and 1
foot deep at the proposed project crossing. The channel as shown on
the attached copy of a contour"map extends approximately three
thousand feet upstream of the crossing. The proposal at this site is
to provide two four foot diameter concrete pipes. The pipes will be
buried approximately one foot below the existing channel bed to allow
formation of a natural channel bottom in the structure and to insure
'no blockage of low flow. The two structures, even with allowance of
fill of the bottoms will provide greater below bank area than the
existing channel. It is expected that one of the pipes will carry the
normal flow, being nearly equal in size to the natural channel. The
second pipe is needed for above bankful flow and will be partially
filled with sediment to the bankful level between major floods. This
pipe will serve as a passage for small wildlife under normal
conditions (See attachment).
Site #21 is a crossing of a small tributary of Tea Swamp. The
existing three foot to four foot wide channel is approximately one
and a half feet deep and serves a watershed of approximately 175
acres. This stream is frequently dry, but would at times have an
ordinary water depth of approximately one foot. The proposed 4.5
foot round concrete pipe culvert will be buried approximately one
foot below the existing channel bed to allow formation of natural
channel bottom in the structure. This culvert will provide an area
of flow below the ordinary water depth and full channel depth similar
in size to the natural channel (See attachment). A pond dam is
located on this small stream approximately 200 feet upstream of the,
proposed project crossing.
Site #27 is a crossing of Tea Swamp. The watershed area of this
stream at this crossing is 3.56 square miles. The existing channel is
approximately 10 to 12 feet wide and 1.5 feet in depth. Ordinary
water depth is less than one foot. To provide for this stream
crossing, the proposal is to construct a four barrel concrete box
culvert, each barrel being 9 feet wide and 6 feet high (See attached
sketch). The bottom of the culvert will be buried approximately one
foot below the streambed to insure that the structure will not block
low flow and will allow formation of a natural stream bottom within
the structure. One barrel of the culvert will provide an area of
flow approximately equal to the natural channel section at bank full
elevation. This will insure that there is no significant change in
flow velocity in the proposed structure as compared to the natural
stream channel at normal and bank full flows that would hinder fish
passage. The remaining three barrels are needed for floodflows
exceeding bank full levels. The natural process of stream sediment
deposition will result in a build-up of material in the barrels in
the overbank area to approximately existing natural ground level and
will provide for wildlife movement beneath the project adjacent to
the stream.
In summary we feel that the proposed design does not cause any
blockage of access by anadromous species and is the most economical,
least damaging design for these stream crossings.
It is the NCDOT's opinion that the least damaging, most
practicable alternative has been selected for this project. Every
attempt will be made to further minimize these impacts using
stringent erosion control methods and other best management
practices.
The NCDOT is committed to fully 4nitigating for the remaining
19.81 acres of wetland impact. This will be accomplished through
mitigation activities at a site in Sampson County. The mitigation
plan for this site is nearly completed, and is expected to be
distributed during the week of May 2.
A copy of this letter has been provided to the National Marine
Fisheries Service and to the N.C. Division of Environmental
Management for their review. If you need any additional information,

SUBJECT: Duplin County, NC 24 Kenansville Bypass from I-40 to
existing SIC 24. TIP # R-2211A, State Project # 6.241008.
Dear Sir:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes
to construct a multi-lane bypass of Kenansville, North Carolina-.
Reference is made to your letter of October 14, 1993, which
transmitted the comments of the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) on the permit application for this project.
The NMFS has recommended denial of the permit because of
what they consider an "unacceptable loss of wooded wetlands" due
to the proposed improvements. Specifically, the NMFS finds the
proposed 68-foot median to be excessive and recommended reducing
the median width to 40 feet at wetland crossings. This attempt--
to minimize impacts would reduce the wetland losses by 8.16
acres according to their calculations.
The NCDOT has reexamined the median design as a result of
these comments. This analysis indicated _that the potential
savings in wetland impact have been overestimated by the NMFS.
NCDOT engineers estimate that reducing the median width to 40'
would result in the saving of 3.05 acres of wetlands, not the
8.16 acres stated by the NMFS.
However, the NCDOT agrees with the NMFS that the 68-foot
median can be reduced, and we are prepared to revise the roadway
design. The NCDOT recommends reducing the median width to 60
feet throughout the entire project. This modification will save
approximately 0.87 acres of wetlands, and will cost the NCDOT
$30,000 for the redesign process. The NCDOT cannot agree to a
further reduction of median width (under 60'), as is explained
in the following discussion.

A minimum median width of 60 feet is necessary to
adequately drain the proposed facility. The NCDOT's Hydraulic
Engineers have determined that to adequately drain a highway,
the bottom of the median ditch must be located at least 18"
below the subgrade. A 60-foot median is wide enough to allow
for an 18" difference between the bottom of the ditch and
subgrade without the use of overly steep median slopes. Figure
1 shows the proposed 60-foot median facility with safe 8:1
median slopes and adequate median storage area.
The problem of draining a highway is further complicated in
Duplin county. Because of the level terrain of the project
area, median slopes must be varied in order to change the
elevation of the median ditch. This is necessary to move water
to median drainage grates. Even with the use of a 60-foot
median, slopes as steep as 5:1 may be necessary to adequately
move standing water along the highway to the drainage grates.
Steeper slopes would be necessary to accomplish this along a
facility with a narrower median.
A steepened.median slope would compromise safety along the
project. Figure ? shows the cross section of a 46-foot median
facility. Notice.the steeper 6:1 median slopes which increase
the chance of roll}ling vehicles. In addition, the 18 inches from
ditch to subgrade necessary for adequate drainage cannot be
achieved without the use of even steeper slopes. This facility
would not adequately drain, resulting in premature and costly
maintenance activities.
4
In addition to providing proper drainage, a 60-foot median
is necessary to provide adequate safety along the project.
Studies have documented that correlate lower traffic accident
rates to wider median widths. NCDOT's Traffic Engineering
Branch conducted a study to determine the effect median widths
have on interstate across-median accident rates. It was
determined that those type accidents are greatly decreased along
facilities with median widths of 60 feet and over. The
Department's Traffic Engineering Branch is continuing to study
the effects of median widths on accident rates for all types- of
highways and accidents` Results of studies conducted by other
States offer further evidence relating safer highways to wider
medians.
Generally speaking, wider medians provide several safety
improvements. They provide a greater distance between vehicles
traveling in opposite directions and thereby reduce head-on
collisions. They also allow a greater recovery area for out-of-
control vehicles and minimize headlight glare. In addition,
they provide larger parking areas for emergency break-downs,
allowing a greater distance between parked vehicles and
traveling vehicles.

Narrow median widths can also prevent buses and trucks from
accomplishing left turns across the median or U-turns without
leaving the highway pavement. Figures 3 and 4 demonstrate this
problem on a 46-foot median facility with the wheel path of a
typical school bus. Additionally, median widths under 46 feet
cannot accommodate a typical school bus attempting to turn or
cross traffic without the ends of the bus protruding into the
travel lanes.
In conclusion, a facility designed with a 60-foot median
accomplishes the Department's goal of providing a safe facility
for the motoring public as well as providing adequate drainage
which eliminates the need for premature and costly pavement
rehabilitation measures. Any facility with a 40' median, as was
suggested by the NMFS, would be unacceptable, due to these
safety and 'drainage concerns.
The NMFS has, also expressed objections to the design of
three steam crossings. In their letter, they stated a concern
that "the placement of culverts rather than bridges at Wetland
Site Numbers 18, 21, and 27 could result in a blockage of access
by anadromous species to the upper reaches of these streams."
The NCDOT is proposing two 48" pipes at Site # 18 and one 54"
pipe at Site # 21. The NCDOT believes that these rstructures are
appropriate at these crossings due to the intermittent nature of
the streams involved. According to NCDOT's Hydraulics
engineers, these drainages are usually dry, and therefore are
normally useless to fish.
The third contested site, # 27, is located in a stream with
an average depth of 0.1 feet. The proposed structures at this
site are four 9' x 6' box culver'ks. The proposed design
requires that the culvert bottom be buried one foot below the r
stream bed. This will allow the natural streambed to
reestablish itself within the culvert. Considering this design
and the minute flow, t"he NCDOT does not agree that this site
will adversely affect anadromous fish.
It is the NCDOT's position that the modification in roadway
width will result in the least damaging, most practicable
alternative. It is also the NCDOT's position that the culverts
planned for the three contested stream crossings will not
adversely affect anadromous fish resources. Please advise the
NCDOT if you can concur with this position. Due to the design
changes involved, it is requested that you reply to this request
as soon as possible so that the new design can be initiated and
the project remain on schedule.

A copy of this letter has been provided to the National Marine
Fisheries Service and to the N. C. Division of Environmental
Management for their review. If you need any additional information,
please contact Mr. Gordon Cashin at [phone].

PUBLIC NOTICE
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS, Post
Office Box 25201, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27611-5201 has applied for a
Department of the Army (DA) permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN WETLANDS OF TEA
SWAMP AND THE ASSOCIATED TRIBUTARIES OF ELDER BRANCH AND MAXWELL CREEK FOR THE
PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING THE NORTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 24 BYPASS OF KENANSVILLE,
in 1?3FI North Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant (NCDOT). Plans submitted with the application show that the project
will begin at the I-40 and NC 903 interchange. The proposed alignment gently
curves northeast, crossing NC 11, SR 1959, and NC 50. The project will
terminate at existing NC 24 just east of Kenansville's eastern limit. The
proposed cross section consists of two 28-foot pavements separated by a
68-foot median. This will provide two 12-foot travel lanes with 2-foot paved.
shoulders for each direction of travel.
The purpose of the work is to serve as a link between 1-40 and the future
multi-lane NC 24 to Jacksonville. The proposed bypass is meeded on a new
location to serve through-traffic safely and avoid disrupting Kenansville's
historic character. Under existing conditions, both local Kenansville traffic
and through-traffic utilize NC 24 within Kenansville. It is expected that NC
24 traffic through Kenansville will continue to increase andwill necessitate
the separation of through- and local-traffic. Existing NC 24 is also flanked
by the Kenansville Historic District with several properties listed in the
National Register of Historic Places.
Several alternatives to the proposed alignment were considered. Widening
along the existing roadway would adversely impact Kenansville's historic
district, as well as other roadside development. Also not considered feasible
would be widening along NC 903 and SR 1959 due to extensive existing
development. In addition, there .is no access control along these alignments,
which would result in strip development along the length of the widened
roadway and produce a lower service facility. The proposed bypass will avoid
these negative impacts, and provide a more safe and efficient roadway.
Three new-alignment alternatives were considered. During early planning .
stages, a northerly corridor for the bypass was examined. This corridor would
begin at NC 24-50 west of Kenansville, bypass the town to the north on new
location, then join NC 24 east of Kenansville. This corridor was rejected due
to its potentially greater wetland takings, and significantly higher cost.
The Environmental Assessment examined two alternatives south of Kenansville in
detail: the proposed alignment (Planning Alternate 2), and a shorter, more
northerly alignment (Planning Alternate 1). Alternate 1 begins at the same
western terminus as Alternate 2 (proposed), and takes a more northerly
bearing. It intersects NC 11 approximately 0.7 mile south of SR 1959. It
then rejoins the Alternate 2 (proposed) alignment and continues to the same
end point. This alignment is approximately 5.5 miles long, 0.3 mile shorter
than Alternate 2 (proposed). Alternate 2 was selected because it provides
greater distance from the SR 1959 interchange, which will avoid turning
traffic conflicts, and provides room for a future interchange. Details on
this future interchange (including alignment and potential wetland impacts)
have not been made available at this time.
-2-
The proposed project will impact 19.81 acres of wetlands at 28 sites.
These sites consist primarily of hardwood communities associated with streams.
NCDOT states that every attempt will be made to minimize impacts using
stringent erosion control methods and other best management practices.
Wetland impacts could be-minimized further by narrowing the proposed 68-foot
median width. However,_NCDOT states that a narrower median would require
costly redesign of the median drains so as to adequately drain the subgrade.
These redesigned drains would, in turn, require disruptive maintenance.
NCDOT is committed to fully mitigating for the 19.81 acres of wetland
impact. This is to be accomplished by restoring hardwood wetlands on a
suitable site at a 2:1 acreage ratio. NCDOT will coordinate with the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers and the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management during the selection of an appropriate site and development of a
restoration plan. At this time, NCDOT has not completed a search for suitable
sites in the project vicinity. If this search is unsuccessful, a suitable
off-site location will be used.
Plans showing the work are included with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army (DA) permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM) has determined the applicability of a water Quality
Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that
the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat,
designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act
of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision.should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order
11988), 14nd use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water
supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber
production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in
general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the
-3-
placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit
would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1)
guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable
guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer
determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal,
State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested
parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed
activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers
to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this
proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on
endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental
effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used
in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the'National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and
to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA)
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army (DA) permit serve as application to the NCDEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), Salisbury Street,
Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be
furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) plans to
take final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or
after August 30, 1993.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), Post Office Box 29535,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535, on or before August 23, 1993, Attention:
Mr. John Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Jeff Richter, until 4:15 p.m.,
September 7, 1993, or telephone .[phone].

;JIB 141993
SUBJECT: Duplin County, NC 24 Kenansville Bypass from I-40 to
existing NC 24. TIP # R-2211A, State Project # 6.241008.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes
to construct a multi-lane NC 24 bypass of Kenansville. The project
begins at the I-40/NC 903 interchange at Magnolia, approximately 4
miles southwest of Kenansville. From that point, the proposed
alignment curve gently northeast, crossing NC 11, SR 1959, and NC 50.
The project terminates at existing NC 24 just east of Kenansville's
eastern limits. The proposed cross section consists of two 28-foot
pavements separated by a 68 foot median. This will provide two 12-
foot travel lanes with 2-foot paved shoulders for each direction of
travel. The project is approximately 5.8 miles long, and will serve
as a link between I-40 and the future multi-lane NC 24 to
Jacksonville.
Several alternatives were considered to the proposed alignment.
The proposed bypass is needed on a new location to serve through
traffic safely and avoid disrupting Kenansville's historic character.
Under existing conditions, both local Kenansville traffic and through
traffic utilize NC 24 within Kenansville. It is expected that NC 24
traffic through Kenansville will continue to increase and will
necessitate the separation of through and local traffic. Existing NC
24 is also flanked by the Kenansville Historic District with several
properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Widening along the existing roadway would adversely impact this
historic district, as well as other roadside development. The
proposed bypass will avoid these negative impacts, and provide a more
safe and efficient roadway. It is also not considered feasible to
widen along existing NC 903 and SR 1959 due to extensive existing
development. There is also no access control along these alignments,
which would result in strip development along the length of the
widened roadway and produce a lower service facility.
Three new-alignment alternatives were considered. During early
planning stages, a northerly corridor for the bypass was examined.
This corridor would begin at NC 24-50 west of Kenansville, bypass the
town to the north on new location, then join NC 24 east of
Kenansville. This corridor was rejected due to its potentially
greater wetland takings, and significantly higher cost. The
Environmental Assessment examined two alternatives south of
Kenansville in detail: the proposed alignment (Planning Alternate 2),
and a shorter, more northern alignment (Planning Alternate 1).
Alternate 1 begins at the same western terminal as Alternate 2
(proposed), and takes a more northerly bearing. It intersects NC 11
approximately 0.7 mile south of SR 1959. It then rejoins the
Alternate 2 (proposed) and continues to the same endpoint. This
alignment is approximately 5.5 miles long, 0.3 mile shorter than the
Alternate. 2 (proposed). Alternate 2 was selected because it provides
greater distance from the SR 1959 interchange, which will avoid
turning-traffic conflicts, and provide room for a future interchange.
As mentioned earlier, the project is designed with a 68 foot
median width. This median design is based on the need to provide
positive drainage of the pavement's subgrade. While it is possible
to construct a narrower median with median drains that adequately
drain the subgrade, these methods are expected to be costly and
disruptive to maintain.
that the least damaging, most
It is the NCDOT's ogp
is project. After a
practicable alternative n selected for th
field review with your r n atives, it has been determined that
this project will impact cres of wetlands at 28 sites. These
sites consist primarily dwood communities associated with
streams. Every attempt will be made to further minimize these
impacts using stringent erosion control methods and other best
management practices.
The NCDOT is committed to fully mitigating for the remaining
19.81 acres of wetland impact. This will be accomplished by
restoring hardwood wetlands on a suitable site at a 2:1 acreage
ratio. NCDOT will coordinate with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
and the N.C. Division of Environmental Management during the
selection of an appropriate site an development of a restoration
plan. At this time, the NCDOT has not completed a search for
suitable sites in the project vicinity. If this search is
unsuccessful, a suitable off-site location will be used.

Action ID No. 199302882 August 5, 1993
PUBLIC NOTICE
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF"TRANSPORTATION, DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS, Post
Office Box 25201, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27611-5201 has applied for a
Department of the Army (DA) permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN WETLANDS OF TEA
SWAMP AND THE ASSOCIATED TRIBUTARIES OF ELDER BRANCH AND MAXWELL CREEK FOR THE
PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING THE NORTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 24 BYPASS OF KENANSVILLE,
in Duplin County, North Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant (NCDOT). Plans submitted with the application show that the project
will begin at the I-40 and NC 903 interchange. The proposed alignment gently
curves northeast, crossing NC 11, SR 1959, and NC 50. The project will
terminate at existing NC 24 just east of Kenansville's eastern limit. The
proposed cross section consists of two 28-foot pavements separated by a
68-foot median. This will provide two 12-foot travel lanes with 2-foot paved
shoulders for each direction of travel.
The purpose of the work is to serve as a link between Z-40 and the future
multi-lane NC 24 to Jacksonville. The proposed bypass is needed on a new
location to serve through-traffic safely and avoid disrupting Kenansville's
historic character. Under existing conditions, both local Kenansville traffic
and through-traffic utilize NC 24 within Kenansville. It is expected that NC
24 traffic through Kenansville will continue to increase and will necessitate
the separation of through- and local-traffic. Existing NC 24 is also flanked
by the Kenansville Historic District with several properties listed in the
National Register of Historic Places.
Several alternatives to the proposed alignment were considered. Widening
along the existing roadway would adversely impact Kenansville's historic
district, as well as other roadside development. Also not considered feasible
would be widening along NC 903 and SR 1959 due to extensive existing
development. In addition, there is no access control along these alignments,
which would result in strip development along the length of the widened
roadway and produce a lower service facility. The proposed bypass will avoid
these negative impacts,.and provide a more.safe and efficient roadway.
Three new-alignment alternatives were considered. During early planning
stages, a northerly corridor for the bypass was examined. This corridor would
begin at NC 24-50 west of Kenansville, bypass the town to the north on new
location, then join NC 24 east of Kenansville. This corridor was rejected due
to its potentially greater wetland takings, and significantly higher cost.
The Environmental Assessment examined two alternatives south of Kenansville in
detail: the proposed alignment (Planning Alternate 2), and a shorter, more
northerly alignment (Planning Alternate 1). Alternate 1 begins at the same
western terminus as Alternate 2 (proposed), and takes a more northerly
bearing. It intersects NC 11 approximately 0.7 mile south of SR 195.9". It
then rejoins the Alternate 2 (proposed) alignment and continues to the same
end point. This alignment is approximately 5.5 miles long, 0.3 mile shorter
than Alternate 2 (proposed). Alternate 2 was selected because it provides
greater distance from the SR 1959 interchange, which will avoid turning
traffic "conflicts, and provides room for a future interchange. Details on
this future interchange (including alignment and potential wetland impacts)
have not been made available at this time.

-2-
The proposed project will impact 19.81 acres of wetlands at 28 sites.
These sites consist primarily of hardwood communities associated with streams.
NCDOT states that every attempt will be made to minimize impacts using
stringent erosion control methods and other best management practices.
Wetland impacts could be minimized further by narrowing the proposed 68-foot
median width. However, NCDOT states that a narrower median would require
costly redesign of the median drains so as to adequately drain the subgrade.
These redesigned drains would, in turn, require disruptive maintenance.
NCDOT is committed to fully mitigating for the 19.81'acres of wetland
impact. This is to be accomplished by restoring hardwood wetlands on a
suitable site at a 2:1 acreage ratio. NCDOT will coordinate with the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers and the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management during the selection of an appropriate site and development of a
restoration plan. At this time, NCDOT has not completed a search for suitable
sites in the project vicinity. If this search is unsuccessful, a suitable
off-site location will be used.
Plans showing the work are included with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army (DA) permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality
Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that
the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat,
designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act
of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the_ national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources: All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order
11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water
supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber
production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in
general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the
-3-
placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit
would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1)
guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable
guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer
determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal,
State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested
parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed
activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers
to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this
proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on
endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental
effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used
in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and
to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA)
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (NCDEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by

Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation, Division of Highways for Department of the Army authorization
and a State Water Quality Certification to construct the NC 24 Bypass around
Kenansville, throuhg 19.81 acres of wetlands adjacent to Tea Swamp in duplin
County, North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance
of a valid request for certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii)
of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law.
A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification
has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State
action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by October 4, 1993, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Jeff Richter, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone (919) [phone].
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Dorney:
5 if
Enclosed is the application of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation, Division of Highways, for Department of the Army authorization
and a State Water Quality Certification to place fill material in 19.81 acres
of wetlands at 28 sites associated with construction of the North Carolina
Highway 24 (NC 24) Kenansville Bypass from I-40 to existing NC 24, Duplin
County, North Carolina, TIP No. R-2211A. Your receipt of this letter verifies
your acceptance of a valid request for certification in accordance with
Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law.
A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification
has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State
action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by August 30, 1993, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.

Dear Sir:
RECEIVED

SUBJECT: Duplin County, NC 24 Kenansville Bypass from I-40 to
existing NC 24. TIP * R-2211A, State Project * 6.241008.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes
to construct a multi-lane NC 24 bypass of Kenansville. The project
begins at the I-40/NC 903 interchange at Magnolia, approximately 4
miles southwest of Kenansville. From that point, the proposed
alignment curve gently northeast, crossing NC 11, SR 1959, and NC 50.
The project terminates at existing NC 24 just east of Kenansville's
eastern limits. The proposed cross section consists of two 28-foot
pavements separated by a 68 foot median. This will provide two 12-
foot travel lanes with 2-foot paved shoulders for each direction of
travel. The project is approximately 5.8 miles long, and will serve
as a link between I-40 and the future multi-lane NC 24 to
Jacksonville.
Several alternatives were considered to the proposed alignment.
The proposed bypass is needed on a new location to serve through
traffic safely and avoid disrupting Kenansville's historic character.
Under existing conditions, both local Kenansville traffic and through
traffic utilize NC 24 within Kenansville. It is expected that NC 24
traffic through Kenansville will continue to increase and will
necessitate the separation of through and local traffic. Existing NC
24 is also flanked by the Kenansville Historic District with several
properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
TR
Widening along the existing roadway would adversely impact this
historic district, as well as other roadside development. The
proposed bypass will avoid these negative impacts, and provide a more
safe and efficient roadway. It is also not considered feasible to
widen along existing NC 903 and SR 1959 due to extensive existing
development. There is also no access control along these alignments,
which would result in strip development along the length of the
widened roadway and produce a lower service facility.
Three new-alignment alternatives were considered. During early
planning stages, a northerly corridor for the bypass was examined.
This corridor would begin at NC 24-50 west of Kenansville, bypass the
town to the north on new location, then join NC 24 east of
Kenansville. This corridor was rejected due to its potentially
greater wetland takings, and significantly higher cost. The
Environmental Assessment examined two alternatives south of
Kenansville in detail: the proposed alignment (Planning Alternate 2),
and a shorter, more northern alignment (Planning Alternate 1).
Alternate 1 begins at the same western terminal as Alternate 2
(proposed), and takes a more northerly bearing. It intersects NC 11
approximately 0.7 mile south of SR 1959. It then rejoins the
Alternate 2 (proposed) and continues to the same endpoint. This
alignment is approximately 5.5 miles long, 0.3 mile shorter than the
Alternate 2 (proposed). Alternate 2 was selected because it provides
greater distance from the SR 1959 interchange, which will avoid
turning-traffic conflicts, and provide room for a future interchange.
As mentioned earlier, the project is designed with a 68 foot
median width. This median design is based on the need to provide
positive drainage of the pavement's subgrade. While it is possible
to construct a narrower median with median drains that adequately
drain the subgrade, these methods are expected to be costly and
disruptive to maintain.
It is the NCDOT's opinion that the least damaging, most
practicable alternative has been selected for this project. After a
field review with your representatives, it has been determined that
this project will impact 19.81 acres of wetlands at 28 sites. These
sites consist primarily of hardwood communities associated with
streams. Every attempt will be made to further minimize these
impacts using stringent erosion control methods and other best
management practices.
The NCDOT is committed to fully mitigating for the remaining
19.81 acres of wetland impact. This will be accomplished by
restoring hardwood wetlands on a suitable site at a 2:1 acreage
ratio. NCDOT will coordinate with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
and the N.C. Division of Environmental Management during the
selection of an appropriate site an development of a restoration
plan. At this time, the NCDOT has not completed a search for
suitable sites in the project vicinity. If this search is
unsuccessful, a suitable off-site location will be used.
NCDOT hereby requests that you review this proposal for
authorization under the Clean Water Act. A copy of this letter has
been provided to the N.C. Division of Environmental Management. If
you need any additional information, please contact Mr. Gordon Cashin
at [phone].

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: Duplin County, NC 24 Kenansville Bypass from I-40 to
existing NC 24. TIP # R-2211A, State Project # 6.241008.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes
to construct a multi-lane NC 24 bypass of Kenansville. The project
begins at the I-40/NC 903 interchange at.Magnolia, approximately 4
miles southwest of Kenansville. From that point, the proposed
alignment curve gently northeast, crossing NC 11, SR 1959, and NC 50.
The project terminates at existing NC 24 just east of Kenansville's
eastern limits. The proposed cross section consists of two 28-foot
pavements separated by a 68 foot median. This will provide two 12-
foot travel lanes with 2-foot paved shoulders for each direction of
travel. The project is approximately 5.8 miles long, and will serve
as a link between I-40 and the future multi-lane NC 24 to
Jacksonville.
Several alternatives were considered to the proposed alignment.
The proposed bypass is needed on a new location to serve through
traffic safely and avoid disrupting Kenansville's historic character.
Under existing conditions, both local Kenansville traffic and through
traffic utilize NC 24 within Kenansville. It is expected that NC 24
traffic through Kenansville will continue to increase and will
necessitate the separation of through and local traffic. Existing NC
24 is also flanked by the Kenansville Historic District with several
properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Widening along the existing roadway would adversely impact this
historic district, as well as other roadside development. The
proposed bypass will avoid these negative impacts, and provide a more
safe and efficient roadway. It is also not considered feasible to
widen along existing NC 903 and SR 1959 due to extensive existing
development. There is also no access control along these alignments,
which would result in strip development along the length of the
widened roadway and produce a lower service facility.
Three new-alignment alternatives were considered. During early
planning stages, a northerly corridor for the bypass was examined.
This corridor would begin at NC 24-50 west of Kenansville, bypass the
town to the north on new location, then join NC 24 east of
Kenansville. This corridor was rejected due to its potentially
greater wetland takings, and significantly higher cost. The
Environmental Assessment examined two alternatives south of
Kenansville in detail: the proposed alignment (Planning Alternate 2),
and a shorter, more northern alignment (Planning Alternate 1).
Alternate 1 begins at the same western terminal as Alternate 2
(proposed), and takes a more northerly bearing. It intersects NC 11
approximately 0.7 mile south of SR 1959. It then rejoins the
Alternate 2 (proposed) and continues to the same endpoint. This
alignment is approximately 5.5 miles long, 0.3 mile shorter than the
Alternate. 2 (proposed). Alternate 2 was selected because it provides
greater distance from the SR 1959 interchange, which will avoid
turning-traffic conflicts, and provide room for a future interchange.
As mentioned earlier, the project is designed with a 68 foot
median width. This median design is based on the need to provide
positive drainage of the pavement's subgrade. While it is possible
to construct a narrower median with median drains that adequately
drain the subgrade, these methods are expected to be costly and
disruptive to maintain.
It is the NCDOT's opinion that the least damaging, most
practicable alternative has been selected for this project. After a
field review with your representatives, it has been determined that
this project will impact 19.81 acres of wetlands at 28 sites. These
sites consist primarily of hardwood communities associated with
streams. Every attempt will be made to further minimize these
impacts using stringent erosion control methods and other best
management practices.
The NCDOT is committed to fully mitigating for the remaining
19.81 acres of wetland impact. This will be accomplished by
restoring hardwood wetlands on a suitable site at a 2:1 acreage
ratio. NCDOT will coordinate with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
and the N.C. Division of Environmental Management during the
selection of an appropriate site an development of a restoration
plan. At this time, the NCDOT has not completed a search for
suitable sites in the project vicinity. If this search is
unsuccessful, a suitable off-site location will.be used.
. NCDOT hereby requests that you-review this proposal for
authorization under the Clean Water Act. A copy of this letter has
been provided to the N.C. Division of Environmental Management. If
you need any additional information, please contact Mr. Gordon Cashin
at [phone].

Dear Dr. Wright:
In keeping with your request, this office has circulated to interested state review agencies
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Public Notice Action ID. No. 199302882 dated August 5, 1993
which describes a highway improvements project proposed by the N. C. Dept. of
Transportation, Div. of Highways of Raleigh. The project, involving some 20 acres of wetland
fill, is located along Elder Branch and Maxwell Creek southwest of Kenansville and is known
as the Kenansville, Highway 24 ByPass.
Based on a coordinated agency review, the state interposes no objection. It is noted taht
the Wildlife Resources Commission expressed concern that its suggested alignment was not used.
The Commission, however, did not object and recommended the following:
1. Strict erosion control measures should be maintained throughout the period of
construction and revegetation of the project area, particularly at stream cros-
sings.
2. The NC Dept. of Transportation should invlve the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission in consultations regarding mitigation for wetland losses involved
with this project.
For the record, the Diviison of Environmental Management issued, on September 2,
1993, Water Quality Certification No. 2846 for the project.

Dear Mr. O'Quinn:
Reference your letter dated May 2, 1994, addressing reduced median
widths for the NC Highway 24 Kenansville Bypass from I-40 to existing 24 in
Duplin County (TIP # R-2211-A, State Project # 6.241008).
Based on your information supporting the construction of this portion of
the highway with 68 feet wide medians, we agree that the cost and time
incurred•.to redesign for a smaller width median outweigh the reductions in
impacts to wetlands and other environmental areas of concern that narrower
median widths would provide. The Department of the Army Section 404 permit
for this project will be issued upon receipt of the finalized mitigation plan
for the Bull Farm site in Sampson County, North Carolina.
The National Marine Fisheries Service stated in their May 24, 1994
letter (copy enclosed) that they continue to recommend construction of a 46
feet wide median to reduce adverse impacts to anadromous fishery resources
within the impacted areas. We suggest that future project plans consider this
design modification.
Thank you for your time and patience in this matter. if you have
questions please call Mr. Ernest Jahnke at telephone [phone].

ON
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS, Post
Office Box 25201, Raleigh, North Carolina, 27611-5201 has applied for a
Department of the Army (DA) permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN WETLANDS OF TEA
SWAMP AND THE ASSOCIATED TRIBUTARIES OF ELDER BRANCH AND MAXWELL CREEK FOR THE
PURPOSE OF CONSTRUCTING THE NORTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 24 BYPASS OF KENANSVILLE,
in Duplin County, North Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant (NCDOT). Plans submitted with the application show that the project
will begin at the I-40 and NC 903 interchange. The proposed alignment gently
curves northeast, crossing NC 11, SR 1959, and NC 50. The project will
terminate at existing NC 24 just east-of Kenansville's eastern limit. The
proposed cross section consists of two 28-foot-pavements separated by a
68-foot median. This will provide two 12-foot travel lanes with 2-foot paved
shoulders for each direction of travel.
The purpose of the work is to serve as a link between T-40 and the future
multi-lane NC 24 to Jacksonville. The proposed bypass is needed on a new
location to serve through-traffic safely and avoid disrupting Kenansville's
historic character. Under existing conditions, both local Kenansville traffic
and through-traffic utilize NC 24 within Kenansville. It is expected that NC
24 traffic through Kenansville will continue to increase and will necessitate
the separation of through- and local-traffic. Existing NC 24 is also flanked
by the Kenansville Historic District with several properties listed in the
National Register of Historic Places.
Several alternatives to the proposed alignment were considered. Widening
along the'existing roadway would adversely impact Kenansville's historic
district, as .well as other roadside development. Also not considered feasible
would"be widening along NC 903 and SR 1959 due to extensive existing .
development. In addition, there is no access control along these alignments,
which would result in strip development along the length of the widened
roadway and produce a lower-service facility. The proposed bypass will avoid
these negative impacts, and provide a more safe and efficient roadway.
Three new-alignment alternatives were considered. During early planning
stages, a northerly corridor for the bypass was examined. This corridor would
begin at NC 24-50 west of Kenansville, bypass'tha town to the north on new
location, then join NC 24 east of Kenansvillei: This corridor was rejected due
to its potentially greater wetland takings, and significantly higher cost.
The Environmental Assessment examined two alternatives south of Kenansville in
detail: the proposed alignment (Planning Alternate 2), and a shorter, more
northerly alignment (Planning Alternate 1). Alternate 1 begins at the same
western terminus as Alternate 2 (proposed), and takes a more northerly
bearing. It intersects NC 11 approximately 0.7 mile south of SR 1959. It
then rejoins the Alternate 2 (propos-ed) alignment and continues to the same
end point. This alignment is approximately 5.5 miles long, 0.3 mile shorter
than Alternate 2 (proposed). Alternate 2 was selected because it provides
greater distance from the SR 1959 interchange, which will avoid turning
traffic conflicts, and provides room for a future interchange. Details on
this future interchange (including alignment and potential wetland impacts)
have not been made available at this time.
-2-
The proposed project will impact 19.81 acres of wetlands at 28 sites.
<-These sites consist.-primarily of hardwood communities associated with streams.
`?. NCDOT.states?that .every attempt will be made to.minimize impacts using
''?a tringent;erosiori,.'control methods and other best management practices.
Wetland impacts,dould be minimized further by narrowing the proposed 68-foot
median w dth _ However, NCDOT states that a narrower median would require
costly"tedesign of the median drains so as to adequately drain the subgrade.
These redesigned drains would, in turn, require disruptive maintenance.
NCDOT is committed to fully mitigating for the 19.81 acres of wetland
impact. This is to.be accomplished by restoring hardwood wetlands on a
suitable site at a 2:1 acreage ratio. NCDOT will coordinate with the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers and the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management during the selection of an appropriate site and development of a
restoration plan. At this time, NCDOT has not completed a search for suitable
sites in the project vicinity. If this search is unsuccessful, a suitable
off-site location will be used.
Plans showing the work are included with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required'State authorization. No
Department of the Army (DA) permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
