SUBJECT: Wayne County, New connector across the Neuse River south of
Goldsboro, COE Action ID. 199301223, TIP. No. R-2422, State Project
No. 6.804756.
As you are aware, the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing
to construct a new connector southeast of the City of Goldsboro between SR 1915 and
NC 111 on new location. The NCDOT initially applied for Section 404 permit
authorization for this project on January 28, 1993. Since that time, a great deal of
coordination has taken place. The project was discussed most recently at the Interagency
Permit Review Meeting held at NCDOT on August 24, 1995. The NCDOT was asked to
provide a summary of its efforts to avoid and minimize impacts of the proposed project.
This letter is provided as a response to this request.
The environmental impacts of this project were evaluated in a State Environmental
Assessment and State Finding of No Significant Impact. The proposed project will provide
part of an outer circumferential route for the City of Goldsboro and will cut approximately
I I miles off the nearest current route between opposite sides of the river. This will
provide an important link in the Goldsboro Thoroughfare System, and is shown on the
Goldsboro Thoroughfare Plan mutually adopted by the municipality and NCDOT.
Since the proposed project will be part of an outer circumferential route for the
City of Goldsboro, the study corridor was well defined. Four preliminary alignment
alternatives were considered. The most northern of these alternatives was discarded due
to extensive impacts to the Neuse River floodway. A second alternative was discarded
due to design problems with using part of an existing state secondary road The two
remaining alternatives were discussed in the State Environmental Assessment for this
project which was completed April 29, 1991. Alternate 1 had the least anticipated
d", tk
2
wetland impact, the lowest cost, and was preferred by the citizens at the public hearing.
Consequently, NCDOT selected Alternate 1 and the proposed design follows this
alignment.
The State FONSI was completed on February 28, 1992, and identified three
specific environmental commitments:
(1) "It is recommended suspending any construction that would increase sediment
runoff into the Neuse River from February 1 through April 30. This time period is
the spawning season for anadromous fish (American shad and Blueback herring)
and is critical for reproduction."
(2) "After April 30, bridge construction should adhere to restrictions outlined in
Design Standards In Sensitive Watersheds (Title 15A NC Administrative Code
Chp. 4) for the remainder of the construction period. Adhering to these
recommendations will allow the fish to complete their spawning cycle without
unnecessary physiological stress."
(3) "The NCDOT will adhere to the Uniform Floodplain Management Policy during
construction to ensure that floodplain management practices are properly
followed."
As mentioned earlier, the initial application was submitted to the Corps on
January 28, 1993. Since that time, specifics of the project design have been extensively
discussed. The application itself was slightly modified by submittals dated April 12 , 1993,
May 27, 1993, and March 28, 1994.
The Public Notice for the project was issued July 1, 1993. Comments were
received from the National Marine Fisheries Service, N.C. Department of Environment,
Health and Natural Resources, the N.C. Division of Land Resources, and the N.C.
Wildlife Resources Commission. The majority of the comments reflected the need for
wetland impacts to be fully mitigated.
As you are aware, the NCDOT is proposing to mitigate the wetland impacts of this
project at the Seven Springs Mitigation Site being developed by Triangle Wetland
Consultants, Inc. A great deal of coordination has taken place regarding this plan. It is
the intention of NCDOT to sign a conservation easement on a 26.7 acre section of the site
to provide sufficient mitigation credits for this project and other projects in the area. The
mitigation plan for this project has already been submitted to your agency.
The WRC presented three specific comments in their letter of August 25, 1993: (1)
wetland mitigation is required; (2) the channel change at site IIIA should be stabilized with
native vegetation and rip rap excluded; and (3) culvert size should be increased at Site
I1113. The NCDOT responded to these comments by letter dated March 28, 1994. The
NCDOT committed to stabilizing relocated channel banks with vegetation and exclude rip
rap, and has provided larger pipes at Site IIIB. Plan sheets depicting these modifications
were submitted with the March 28, 1994 letter. This letter also committed the NCDOT to
compliance with all of the comments of the N.C. Division of Land Resources in their letter
of July 9, 1993.
The National Marine Fisheries Service recommended denial of the permit by letter
dated July 29, 1993. This recommendation is based on the observation that:
"... the Neuse River will be bridged, but wetland avoidance and minimization of
impacts to wetlands at fill Sites II A, B, and C has not been accomplished.
Furthermore, the public notice proposes no compensatory mitigation for wetland
losses. Accordingly, we are concerned that this work is not in accordance with
Section 404(b) (1) guidelines (40 CFR 230) and does not comply with the
mitigation guidance specified in the February 6, 1990 MOA between the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of the Army.
In the absence of impact avoidance (e.g., bridging all wetlands) and suitable
mitigation for unavoidable wetlands losses, the NMFS is convinced that an
unacceptable loss of nationally important aquatic resources would occur. In view
of the above, the NMFS recommends that, as presently proposed, federal
authorization for this work not be granted."
The impact site referred to by the NMFS as Site II A, B, C is actually Site III A,
B, and C in the permit application. Their comments specified that these sites be entirely
bridged to avoid any impact in order for the design to be acceptable. This would require
the construction of over 2,900 linear feet of additional bridge structures. This alternative
would increase project costs by an estimated $6.3 million. The NCDOT considers this
alternative to be impractical due to the increased cost. Site III A and B were also of
concern to the WRC, and the NCDOT has complied with their requests to minimize
impacts at these sites.
The February 6, 1990 MOA establishes procedures to determine the type and level
of mitigation necessary to comply with the Clean Water Act 404(b)(1) Guidelines. This
NIOA provides for first, avoiding impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of
the least damaging practical alternative; second, taking appropriate and practical steps to
minimize impacts on waters and wetlands; and finally, compensating for any remaining
unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical.
It is the NCDOT's position that the planning of this project has complied with the
404 (b)(1) Guidelines by taking the following actions:
(1) The NCDOT selected the alternative corridor with the least anticipated wetland
impacts.
(2) Construction commitments were made to minimize impacts to anadromous fish.
4
(3) Compliance with the requests of the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission to
minimize adverse impacts at Site III..
(4) The proposal of the Seven Springs Mitigation Site to compensate for the wetland
impacts of the project.
Please continue to review this project for authorization under the Clean Water Act.

Dear Ms. Little:

JUN 2 1 1995

I have reviewed the subject mitigation proposal which is being proposed as compensatory
mitigation for the loss of 4.27 acres of swamp hardwood and bottomland hardwood wetlands
adjacent to the Neuse River associated with the construction of TIP # R-2422 in Wayne County.
Based on the review of this proposal dated May 1, 1995 and the site visit conducted on May 4,
1995 the following comments concerning this proposal are offered:
The document indicates that the mitigation is "in-kind", however, based on the information
contained in this proposal it appears that this will be "out-of-kind" mitigation. This
determination is based on the differences in frequency and duration of flooding and sources of
water between the Neuse River wetlands and the mitigation site. The document indicates that
the primary source of water for the Neuse River wetlands is overbank flooding whereas the
source of hydrology for the mitigation site is primarily precipitation and groundwater.
The document states that the present hydrology of the site meets jurisdictional criteria, i.e.
saturation within twelve inches on soil surface for fourteen consecutive days during the
growing season. The Corps of Engineers-Wilmington District guidelines for bottomland
hardwoods specifies that the soil should be "saturated within 12 inches of the surface, ponded,
or flooded at least 12.5% of the growing season.." In addition, the success criteria described
on page 40 of this document states that "the hydrological parameters will overlap those of the
reference site greater than 80% of the time after five years." Based on the submitted data and
observations during the site visit it is unlikely that the mitigation site will meet the success
criteria or the COE guidelines without plugging and/or filling the existing drainage ditches on
the site. Therefore it is recommended that these ditches be plugged at a minimum of two
locations as discussed during the site visit.
• It was apparent during the site visit that the access road has altered the movement of surface
water across the mitigation site. If this road is to remain in place provisions may be needed to
facilitate the movement of surface water from the eastern to the western portion of the site.

• Appendix IV states that the soils of the mitigation site are Torhunta. This was also stated
during the site visit. The DRAINMOD calculations used Tomotley soils. The effect of using
Tomotley and Torhunta soils in these calculations must be clarified.
• The number of monitoring stations is not specified in the proposal. The COE guidelines
specify a minimum of one 0.05 acres sample plot/2 acres for sites greater than 10 acres in size.
• What is the total acreage of this site? The document states 25 acres on page 7 and elsewhere,
26.69 acres in Appendix IV, and 23 acres in Appendix V. Specify the number of acres of the
entire site that will be. used as mitigation, the number of acres that have been planted, and the
number of acres that have been allowed to naturally regenerate.
• The details concerning the final disposition and long term management of this site must be
completed prior to accepting this proposal as compensatory mitigation for TIP # R-2422.
• These comments should not be interpreted as an endorsement of the Conservation Easement or
the Mitigation Banking Agreement as proposed in Appendices VII and VIII, respectively.
• Although this proposal is for "out-of-kind" compensatory mitigation, I will recommend to Mr.
John Dorney, by copy of this letter, that this proposal be accepted as compensatory mitigation
for the loss of 4.72 acres of wetlands associated with the construction of TIP # R-2422 upon
receipt of a revised proposal addressing the concerns outlined in this letter.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments concerning this proposal. If you have
any questions concerning these comments I can be reached at 919-733-0026.
Sincerely,
Kz?

Route from SR 1915 to NC 111,
The NCDOT applied for Department of the Army authorization for
the proposed project on January 28, 1994. A great deal of
coordination has taken place with your agency since that time. This
letter is intended to address issues raised in a letter from your
agency dated September 29, 1993. Your letter transmitted the
comments of the N.C. Department of Environment, Health, and Natural
Resources, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC),
and the Division of Land Resources. It is expected that the NCDOT
will be able to comply with the comments of the Division of Land
Resources. However, the NCWRC mentioned some special concerns
regarding the project design.
The NCWRC expressed concern that a mitigation plan had not been
specified in detail. The NCDOT has retained a consultant to develop
a mitigation plan for this project. The NCDOT is in the process of
reviewing their proposals for presentation to the review agencies.
The details of this plan should be available soon. It is expected
that this mitigation will involve the restoration of disturbed
wetlands in the project vicinity.
The NCWRC specified that rip rap should not be placed in the
relocated channel at Site IIIA. The proposed design for this channel
relocation does not include rip rap within the proposed channel. Rip
rap is proposed at this site only where it is required to stabilize
the end bent fill slopes of the proposed bridge. The new channel
banks will be stabilized with vegetation as requested by the NCWRC.
NX/

A
The NCWRC has also requested that further steps be taken to
minimize impacts at Site IIIB, and that care be taken,not to disturb
the hydrology of this site. At site IIIB, the only proposed ditching
is the relocation of existing channels. The proposed bed profiles
duplicate those of the existing beds as much as practicable so that
the natural water elevations should remain virtually unaltered.
The NCWRC indicated that larger pipes should be used to provide
wildlife crossings at Site IIIB. The NCDOT has revised its original
design by replacing the three 18-inch pipes proposed for this site
with 48-inch pipes. The 4S-inch pipes will be oriented with a 90
degree skew and will have concrete endwalls on their inlets in order
to minimize their lengths. The larger pipes should improve
opportunities for wildlife movement.
Enclosed you will find revised plan sheets 4. 10 and 11 which
illustrate these modifications. A copy of this correspondence has
been provided to your Washington Office and to the N.C. Wildlife
Resources Commission for their review. If you need any additional
information, please contact Gordon Cashin at [phone].

Dear Dr. Wright:
September 9, 1993
Jonathan R Howes, Secretary
In keeping with your request, this office has circulated to interested state review agencies
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Public Notice Action Id. 199301223 dated July 1, 1993, which
describes a project proposal by the N. C. Department of Transportation, Division of Highways
of Raleigh. The project, involving wetland fill, a river crossing and overflow crossings, is
located along a new highway alignment between SR1915 and NC 111, crossing the Neuse River,
near Goldsboro, in Wayne County.
It is the writer's understanding that D.O.T. had not offered full wetland mitigation.
However, state agencies have recommended 4.72 acres of mitigation and it is a requirement of
the issued 401 Certification. In the opinion of the writer, this form of highway expansion is a
worst case example of habitat fragmentation, disturbance, wetland loss and introduction of yet
another load of pollutants to the stressed Neuse River system. These impacts can never be fully
mitigated. We note with interest that the National Marine Fisheries Service maintains an
objection to the project.
During the course of the review, the Wildlife Resources Commission requested mitigation
and other refinements. The specific recommendations of the Commission are listed in the
attached memorandum. Also, recommmendation for project area erosion and sedimentation
control are included in an attachment from the Division of Land Resources. For the record, the
Division of Environmental Management issued the required Section 401 Certification.
Certification No. 2836 was issued on July 28. It also provides important project management
conditions.
Recommendations of the three agencies should become a part of any permit issued to
lessen the environmental blow of this project to the Neuse basin.

Reference your application for Department of the Army (DA)
authorization to to place approximately 62,160 cubic yards of fill material
into approximately 4.72 acres of waters and wetlands adjacent the Neuse
River, to construct a new connector extending from SR 1915, immediately
north of SR 1932, eastward to NC 111, near Goldsboro, Wayne County, North
Carolina (State Project No. 6.804756 R-2422).
On February 6, 1990, the DA and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures
to determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with the
Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first,
avoiding impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least
damaging, practical alternative; second, taking appropriate and practical
steps to minimize impacts on waters and wetlands; and finally, compensating
for any remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and
practical. To enable us to process your application in full compliance with
this MOA, we request that you provide the following additional information:
a. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are
available only if the proposed work is the least environmentally damaging,
practicable alternative. Please furnish information regarding any other
alternatives, including upland alternatives, to the work for which you have
applied and provide justification that your selected plan is the least
damaging to water or wetland areas.
b. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practical
steps to minimize wetland losses. Please indicate all that you have done,
especially regarding development and modification of plans and proposed
construction techniques, to minimize adverse impacts.
-2-
c. The MOA requires that appropriate and practical mitigation will be
required for all unavoidable adverse impacts remaining after all appropriate
and practical minimization has been employed. Please indicate your plan to
mitigate for the projected, unavoidable loss of waters or wetlands or
provide information as to the absence of any such appropriate and practical
measures.
This information is essential to our expeditious processing of your
application and it should be forwarded to us by August 1, 1993. Also, a
copy of this information must be sent to the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management to enable them to adequately evaluate your
application for a Water Quality Certification pursuant to Section 401 of the
Clean Water Act.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Norm
Sanders, Washington Regulatory Field Office, telephone [phone].

Enclosed is the application of North Carolina Department of
Transportation, for Department of the Army authorization and a State Water
Quality Certification to place approximately 62,160 cubic yards of fill
material into approximately 4.72 acres of waters and wetlands adjacent
the Neuse River, to construct a new connector extending from SR 1915,
immediately north of SR 1932, eastward to NC 111, near Goldsboro, Wayne
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 may be 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 September 1, 1993, the District Engineer will deem
that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Norm Sanders, telephone

PUBLIC NOTICE
The NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT' OF TRANSPORTATION (NCDOT), DIVISION OF
HIGHWAYS, POST OFFICE BOX 25201, RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27611-5201, has
applied for a Department of the Army permit to PLACE APPROXIMATELY 62,160
CUBIC YARDS OF FILL MATERIAL INItO APPROXIMATELY 4.72 ACRES OF 'WATERS AND
W=ANDS ADJACENT TO THE NEUSE RIVER, to construct a new connector extending
from SR 1915 immediately north of SR 1932, eastward to NC 111, NEAR GOLDSBORO,
WAYNE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (STATE PROJECT 6.804756 R-2422).
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the

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 this worksite is not registered property or property listed as
being eligible for inclusion in the Register.
NCDO'!' lists one previously recorded prehistoric site, 31Wy14, in the
project area. According to the State Historic Preservation Office, this site
has not been tested to determine if it is eligible for the National Register.
An archaeological survey will be conducted to determine if any signigicant
archaeological sites will be affected.
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, enemy 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
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. and/or an Environmental
Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. 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
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM 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 permit serves as application to the DEM 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, 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 plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
July 23, 1993.
All persons desiring to make camvents regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before July 19, 1993, Attention: Mr. John
Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: MR. NORM SANDERS, until 4:15 p.m.,
JULY 30, 1993, or telephone [phone].

a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of
the Clean Water Act by the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management.
b. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-owned

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 this worksite is not registered property or property listed as
being eligible for inclusion in the Register.
N= lists one previously recorded prehistoric site, 31Wy14, in the
project area. According to the State Historic Preservation Office, this site
has not been tested to determine if it is eligible for the National Register.
An archaeological survey will be conducted to determine if any signigicant
archaeological sites will be affected.
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
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. and/or an Environmental
Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. 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
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DENT) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DELI 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 permit serves as application to the DENT 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, 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 plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
July 23, 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, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before July 19, 1993, Attention: Mr. John
Dorney.

Dear Sir:

SAM HUNT
SECRETARY
SUBJECT: Wayne County, New Route from SR 1915 to NC 111,
R-2422, 6.804756
This letter provides additional information in response to a
letter from your agency dated March 2, 1993, concerning the above-
mentioned project. Your letter indicated that there is some
confusion over the amount of wetland to be filled, and asked for
j additional details about the proposed construction technique.
The application and permit drawings have been reviewed by our
Hydraulics Unit. Enclosed you will find revised copies of sheets 4,
1 7, 12 and 26 to clarify the permit application. Sheet 26 provides a
summary of impacts for the project, both to wetlands and waters of
the United States. According to this sheet, a total of 4.65 acres of
wetland at four separate sites will be filled during project
construction. One of these sites, Site II in the application,
effects-O?ya res of wetland, and qualifies for authorization under
Nationwide 26rovisions. The remaining sites involving wetland all
require authorization under an Individual permit, and total 4.42
acres of impact.
It is not surprising that these numbers do not agree with the
estimates in the Environmental Assessment. The Environmental
Assessment examines wetland limits based on an approximate roadway
alignment, and is therefore subject to refinement before the permit
appliaction is prepared. The permit application is based on the
actual roadway design proposed for the project, and is far more
accurate.

NCDOT does not ordinarily provide mitigation for Nationwide
sites. Accordingly, we are proposing to mitigate for the 4.45 acres
of wetland filled at Site III.
The summary on Sheet 26 should answer questions (a) and (b) in
your letter. In answer to questions (c) and (d), all that can be
said is that the permit application represents NCDOT's proposed
design for the project, and includes any anticipated fills. During
construction, the contractor may require an unanticipated fill. In
that event, a permit modification will be submitted.
I hope that this information adequately addresses your
questions. Copies of this correspondence have been provided to your
Washington Office and to the Division of Environmental Management for
their review. If you need any additional information, please contact
Gordon Cashin at [phone].

FROM: David Yow, Highway Project Coordinator 4.olr00?
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: April 8, 1993
SUBJECT: N. C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) request for
401 Water Quality Certification, New Route from SR 1915
to NC 111, Wayne County, North Carolina, TIP No. R-
2422, DEM Project No. 93108.
The N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has reviewed
the subject application for 401 Water Quality Certification, as
well as the Environmental Assessment and Finding of No
Significant Impact for the project. Our comments are provided in
accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat.
401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The proposed project involves construction of approximately
2.1 miles of two lane roadway on new location, crossing the Neuse
River and several smaller waters. Partial control of access is
proposed. Construction impacts affecting water quality include
fill of wetlands, channelization and culverting of streams, and
potential introduction of toxicants to aquatic systems from
roadway runoff.
The NCWRC recommends the following modifications to the 401
Water Quality Certification:.
( Wetland loss (0.2 acres) at site II should be included
in total impact estimates for the 401 Certification,
since a crossing at Site II will not provide a
functioning roadway facility in the absence of
crossings at Sites IIIA and IIIB.
(2) Proposed channel change at site IIIA should be
stabilized with native vegetation, and rip-rap should
not be placed within the new channel. While this site
does not provide year-round aquatic habitat, a

Memo Page 2 April 8, 1993
revegetated channel will provide improved reproductive
habitat for amphibians and.create a buffer between
nearby stream habitat and possible roadway spills.
(3) Site IIIB represents a vernal pool of reasonably high
quality which provides a habitat "island" among cleared
tracts on both sides. Amphibians and other wildlife
species currently benefit from the relatively diverse
habitat found here. The proposed project should be
modified to minimize the probability of altering the
hydrology of this wetland, and fragmentation of habitat
should be minimized as well. The proposed 18 inch
pipes should be replaced with small box culverts to
improve opportunities for wildlife movements between
the two halves of the newly fragmented wetland. To
encourage use by wildlife, length of these culverts
should be minimized, possibly by using small retaining
walls. The culverts and proposed channel changes
should not drain the wetland below natural water
elevations. All relocated channels should be
revegetated as on Site IIIA above.
(4) The NCDOT should explore opportunities for on-site
mitigation of unavoidable wetland loss. Margins of
some of the agricultural land adjoining the existing
wetland areas may be suitable for restoration and may
provide sufficient acreage to mitigate in kind at a 1:1
ratio. If off-site mitigation is required, the NCWRC
does not object to a 2:1 acreage ratio and requests
that the NCDOT coordinate the site selection process
with NCWRC staff. We also request that total mitigated
wetland impacts from the project be modified to 4.62
acres to accurately reflect wetland loss from highway
construction.
The NCWRC offers no objection to approval of 401 Water
Quality Certification for this project, provided the
recommendations above are included as conditions of the
certification.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input to the permit
review process for this project. Please provide a copy of the
final issued certification for our files. If I can further
assist your office, please contact me at [phone].

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: Wayne County, New Route from SR 1915 to NC 111,
R-2422, 6.804756
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes
to construct a connector extending from SR 1915 immediately north of
SR 1932 eastward to NC 111. A crossing of the Neuse River will be
required along the new route. Part of an outer circumferential route
for the City of Goldsboro is formed by the new route This will
provide an important link in the Goldsboro Thor_oughlar_e System, and
is shown on the Goldsboro Thoroughfare Plan mutually adopted by the
municipality and NCDOT.
Since the proposed project is part of an outer circumferential
route for the City of Goldsboro, the corridor is well defined.
Four preliminary alignment alternatives were considered. The most
northerly of these alternatives was discarded due to extensive
impacts in the Neuse River floodway. A second alternative was
discarded due to design problems with using part of an existing
secondary road. The two remaining alternatives were discussed in the
State Environmental Assessment for this project which was completed
April 29, 1991. These alternatives are illustrated in Figure 1.
Alternate 1 had the smaller amount of anticipated wetland acreage,
the lowest cost, and was preferred by the citizens at the public
hearing. Consequently, NCDOT has selected Alternate 1.

MEMORANDUM
April 2, 1993
To: Deborah Sawyer
Washington Regional Office
From: Eric Galambe?
Subject: NC DOT New Route From SR 1915 to NC 111
Wayne County
I made a site inspection for the subject project with Gordon Cashin and Robin
Little and offer the following observations and recommendations. DOT has requested
that certain areas be considered for a General Certification. An Individual Certification
has also been requested, however, there are no usable segments for the project and
thus I believe that the entire project should be covered under the IC and not a GC.
Sites III A, B, and C have streams that are completely vegetated, therefore,
DOT should re-vegetate the relocated streams to prevent a rise in water temperature
and a subsequent reduction in D.O..
Gordon Cashin said that there were minor differences in wetland impacts
between the permit application and the environmental documents. The wetland
impacts are correct in the permit application. Revised hydrology calculations will be
forthcoming.
I recommend that the drainage pipes in the vernal pool at site III B be raised
sufficiently to prevent a normal flow in the pipe. With the raised pipe, the vernal pool
should not be drained and the sediment and nutrient removal capabilities will not be
altered significantly.
I will be more diligent in my review of the draft environmental documents
because there is an alternative that could impact less wetlands. The alternative would
follow the farm road and then turn to reach the Neuse River. This alternative could
have been discussed by DOT in the final environmental document.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
!'
Enclosed is the application of the North Carolina Department Of
Transportation, Division of Highways, for Department of the Ar y aurization
and a State Water Quality Certification to place fill materialin 4.6 - ores
of waters/wetlands of the Neuse River and tributaries associated with
construction of a new connector extending from S.R. 1915, immediately north of
S.R. 1932, eastward to North Carolina Highway 111, Goldsboro, Wayne County,
North Carolina, R-2422. 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 oa not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by 1993, the District Engineer will deem that waiver
has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Norm Sanders, Washington

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: Wayne County, New Route from SR 1915 to NC 111,
R-2422, 6.804756
Mr. Norm Sanders of your Washington Office telephoned today
regarding this project. He requested copies of the relevant
environmental documents and fill quantities that were omitted from
our application. You will find attached a copies of the
Environmental Assessment and the Finding of No Significant Impact
documents as requested.
The omitted fill information should have been indicated in item
III.E. of the application form, regarding fill below ordinary high
water. Two sites of wetland impact will involve fill below ordinary
high water: Site IIIA will require approximately 60 Cubic yards and
Site IIIB will require approximately 10 cubic yards of fill.
A copy of this information has been provided to your Washington
Office for their review. If you need any additional information,
please contact Gordon Cashin at [phone].

Dear Sir:

SUBJECT: Wayne County, New Route from SR 1915 to NC 111,
R-2422, 6.804756
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes
to construct a connector extending from SR 1915 immediately north of
SR 1932 eastward to NC 111. A crossing of the Neuse River will be
required along the new route. Part of an outer circumferential route
for the City of Goldsboro is formed by the new route This will
provide an important link in the Goldsboro Thoroughfare System, and
is shown on the Goldsboro Thoroughfare Plan mutually adopted by the
municipality and NCDOT.
Since the proposed project is part of an outer circumferential
route for the City of Goldsboro, the corridor is well defined.
Four preliminary alignment alternatives were considered. The most
northerly of these alternatives was discarded due to extensive
impacts in the Neuse River floodway. A second alternative was
discarded due to design problems with using part of an existing
secondary road. The two remaining alternatives were discussed in the
State Environmental Assessment for this project which was completed
April 29, 1991. These alternatives are illustrated in Figure 1.
Alternate 1 had the smaller amount of anticipated wetland acreage,
the lowest cost, and was preferred by the citizens at the public
hearing. Consequently, NCDOT has selected Alternate 1.

?13?0?
R . •J
The project will have five sites that impact waters of the
United States. The first site requires a 42" pipe for a drainage
ditch, and involves no fill in wetlands. The second site involves an
18" pipe for another drainage ditch, with 0.2 acres of wetland
filled. Both of these sites should be authorized by Nationwide Permit
No. 26, with no notification required.
The remaining three sites impact larger areas of bottomland
hardwood wetlands within the Neuse River floodplain. The first of
these sites is depicted on Sheets 3, 4 and 5 as Site IIIA. This site
r. ecru I ren a 42" pip(- for a d ra i nagr ditch, and a br idgn . The bridge
is designed as an overflow strucLur_e for Lhe Neuse, River, and has
been positioned to address hydraulic concerns. The bridge is skewed
to accommodate the overbank flows of the river. Relocation of the
drainage ditch between the two interior piers is necessary in order
to maintain lowflow capabilities while providing adequate protection
for those piers against scour. Construction at this site will impact
1.3 acres of bottomland wetlands.
Site IIIB will utilize a series of pipes to convey the water
from several drainage ditches at this location. Roadway construction
at this site will affect 1.7 acres of associated wetlands. Site IIIC
impacts the wetland area near the river. A 60" pipe will be used for
an existing drainage ditch through this wetland. A rip rap guide
bank will be used to protect the end of the bridge from scour. This
bank appears on Sheet 18 as a curved rip rap structure extending into
the wetlands. Without this structure, water flowing along the new
roadway towards the river would wash out the bridge abutment. The
bridge structure itself will not impact wetlands. Construction at
this site will impact a total of 1.42 acres.
NCDOT has avoided and minimized these wetland impacts to the
maximum extent practicable. NCDOT is committed to fully mitigating
for the remaining 4.42 acres of wetland impact. This will be
accomplished by restoring bottomland 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.
II
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 WRC for their review, and to the N.C. Division
of Environmental Management. If you need any additional information,
please contact Mr. Gordon Cashin at [phone].

The R-2422 Mitigation Site is located near Goldsboro anc provides 0.2 acres of
mitigation. The site was originally planted in 1997, with additional planting in
Q 1998.
Monitoring indicated a survival rate of 425 trees per acre. well above the 320
trees per acre requirement. Additional plants that were missed in the 1998 count
were included in the year's monitoring data.
Because of the excellent survival rate of the planted trees. NCDOT proposes to
discontinue all monitoring of the site.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
The site is located on the new location road behveen SR 1915 and NC 111 near
Goldsboro (Figure 1). It consists of approximately 0.2 acres of restoration
bottomland hardwood forest. The site is designed to mitigate for a permit
violation associated with TIP Project No. R-2422.
1.2 Purpose
In order to be considered successful mitigation, a site must meet jurisdictional
success criteria for both hydrology and vegetation for at least three consecutive
years. This report details the vegetation monitoring during 1999 at the R-2422
Mitigation Site. Hydrologic monitoring was not required for this site.

2.1 Success Criteria
Success Criteria states that there must be a minimum mean density of 320 trees
per acre of approved target species surviving for at least three years.
2.2 Description of Species
The following tree species were planted in the Wetland Restoration Area:
Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Green Ash
Quercus phellos, Willow Oak
Taxodium distichum, Bald Cypress
Nyssa Sylvatica, Black Gum

TREE DENSITY 425
The surviving tree density is calculated by dividing the number of trees surviving
by the total acreage of the site.
Notes from Report: Due to vandalism on the site, the site was supplemental
planted in April 1998. No monitoring plots were established in the site. However,
the entire planting area was counted due to small size of site. Dog fennel,
juncus, sicklepod, and sedges were found growing throughout. site. Some
sweetgum and red maple were also present. Additional green ash and willow
oak were found that were missed at last year's monitoring visit. These were
determined not to be volunteers as they were found in rows. The orange safety
fence has been removed since the pictures were taken.

0 2.4 Conclusions
The planting associated with this project involved the planting of approximately
0.16 acres of bottomland hardwood seedlings. This mitigation area is adjacent to
the roadway construction project. The third year vegetation monitoring revealed
a density of 425 trees per acre, which is well above the minimum 320 trees per
acre required by the success criteria.

Because the trees planted in 1997 have met the success criteria after three years
of monitoring, NCDOT proposes to close monitcring activities at the R-2422
Mitigation Site.
