CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION ACTION CLASSIFICATION FORM
TIP Project No. I-2512 B
State Project No. 8.1301102
Federal-Aid Project No. IR-95-3(60)16
A. Project Description: The project calls for
rehabilitating the pavement and improving the safety
along I-95 from SR 1600 to 0.8 mile south of US 158. See
Figures lA and 1B for maps showing the project vicinity
and proposed project limits.
B. Purpose and Need: The subject highway section is in poor
physical condition. In order to increase safety along I-
95 in the project area, pavement rehabilitation and
safety feature upgrades are proposed.
C. Proposed-Improvements-:'
Circle one or more of the following improvements which
apply to the project:
1. Modernization of a highway by resurfacing,
restoration, rehabilitation, reconstruction, adding
shoulders, or adding auxiliary lanes (e.g.,
parking, weaving, turning, climbing).
E) Restoring, Resurfacing, Rehabilitating, and
Reconstructing pavement (3R and 4R
improvements)
b. Widening roadway and shoulders without adding
through lanes
c. Modernizing gore treatments
d. Constructing lame improvements (merge,
auxiliary, and turn lanes)
Adding shoulder drains
Replacing and rehabilitating culverts, inlets,
and drainage pipes, including safety
treatments
g. Providing driveway pipes
h. Performing minor bridge widening -(less than
one through lane)
2. Highway safety or traffic operations improvement
projects including the installation of ramp
metering control devices and lighting.
a. Installing ramp metering devices
Installing lights
c. Adding or upgrading guardrail
Installing safety barriers including Jersey
type barriers and pier protection
e. Installing or replacing impact attenuators

10. Construction of bus transfer facilities (an open
area consisting of passenger shelters, boarding
areas, kiosks and related street improvements) when
located in a commercial area or other high activity
center in-which there is adequate street capacity
for projected bus traffic.
11. Construction of rail storage and maintenance
facilities in areas used predominantly for
industrial or transportation purposes where such
construction is not inconsistent with existing
zoning and where there is no significant noise
impact on the surrounding community.
12. Acquisition of land for hardship or protective
purposes, advance land acquisition loans under
section 3(b) of the UMT Act. Hardship and
protective buying will be permitted only for a
particular parcel or a limited number of parcels.
These types of land acquisition qualify for a CE
only where the acquisition will not limit the
evaluation of alternatives, including shifts in
alignment for planned construction projects, which
may be required in the NEPA process. No project
development on such land may proceed until the NEPA
process has been completed.
D. Special Pro.iect Information:
(1) Best Management Practices (BMP's) and Sedimentation
Control guidelines will be strictly applied to
ensure that no sediment will be washed into Quankey
Creek or Little Quankey Creek as a result of the
project. Currently, no proposed construction
activities are anticipated that will cause
siltation at either Quankey Creek or Little Quankey
Creek. If final design plans indicate fill will be
placed in either creek, surveys for the dwarf wedge
mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) will be conducted
and appropriate permits and authorizations for fill
in Waters of the United States applied for.
(2) Safety clearing done in conjunction with this
project will not violate the agreement reached
between the State Historic Preservation Office
(SHPO) and the NCDOT to landscape the area between
the Garner House (eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places) and I-95. The
agreement was secured to obtain a finding of "no
adverse effect" for TIP Project I-2004.

REFERENCE: (1) Investigation of Natural Resources by
Phillip Todd. dated 15 December 1994.
(2) Response to Investigation of Natural
Resources by Brian Yamamoto, dated 16
December 1994
ATTENTION: Brian Yamamoto. Project Manager
Information concerning possible construction plans was
insufficient at the time of natural resources investigation
(Reference rl) to conclude a biological conclusion for the
dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon). Reference -.:
clarified that no sediment would be washed into Quankey Creek
and Little Quankey Creek and that no stormwater runoff will
flow directly into these water resources.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
It can be concluded that no impact to the dwarf wedge
mussel will result from project construction because there
will be no in-stream construction work and no known
populations of the dwarf wedge mussel occur in the Roanoke
River Drainage Basin. Surveys for this mussel were not
conducted. Implementation of Best Management Practices
(BMPs) and Sedimentation Control guidelines should be
enforce to ensure no that the Quankey Creek and Little
Quankey Creek will not be impacted.

SUBJECT: Investigation of Natural Resources for the
Proposed Pavement Rehabilitation and Safety
Improvements on I-9? from SR 1600 to 1.3 km

No. .I-3S13B; State Project No. 3.1301102:
Federal Aid No. ItR-9S-3(60)16.
ATTENTION: Brian.Yamamoto, Project Manager
The following report is submitted to assist in
preparation of a Programmatic Categorical Exclusion (PCE). A
completed Ecological Threshold checklist for a Type II PCE is
also included. This report contains information concerning
water resources, biotic resources, wetlands and permits, and
federally-protected species.
The proposed project lies in Halifax County and involves
various safety improvements along I-95 from SR 1600 to 1.3 km
(0.3 mi) south of US 158 for a total project length of 3.3 'Km
(5.5 mi). Project work includes: rehabilitating the existing
concrete pavement.; replacing guardrail as needed; installing
pavement markings; upgrading pier protection underneath all
structures; improving/installing continuous shoulder drains
and clearing other areas for safety purposes. All of the
proposed improvements will occur within the existing right of
way. A site visit was conducted on 14 December 1994:
Final construction plans (i.e., locations of earth
movement and replacement of guardrail around streams and
specific information about shoulder drain work) were not
available prior to field investigation of the federally-
protected dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon). Once
plans are finalized, appropriate recommendations can be made
to resolve the federally-protected dwarf wedge mussel issue.
G)
1)
WATER RESOURCES
The proposed project crosses, two streams, Quankey Creek
and Little Quankey Creek. These two streams lie in"the
Roanoke River Drainage Basin. Little Quankey Creek drains
into Quankey Creek approximately 6.4 km (4.0 mi) from its
intersection with I-95. The mouth of Quankey Creek empties
into the Roanoke River just east of Halifax.
The Division of Environmental Management (DEMO assigns
all streams a best usage classification. DENT has designated
these streams as Class C waters. Water resources with this
classification are suitable for aquatic life propagation and
survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation and
-asriculture.
Neither High Quality Waters (HQW), Water Supplies (WS-I
or WS-II) nor Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) occur within
1.6 km (1.0 mile) of project study area.
The Benthic Macro invertebrate Ambient Network (BMAN)
is managed by DEM and monitors ambient water quality. This
program addresses long term trends in water auaiity by
sampling for selected benthic macro invertebrate organisms at
fixed monitoring sites. No specific BMAN information is
available for these water resources.
Point source dischargers located throughout North
Carolina are permitted through the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. All
dischargers are required to register for a permit. One
discharger occurs over 6.4 km (4.0 mi) upstream of where
Quankey Creek intersects with I-95. This discharger
releases domestic waste.
Earth work occurring up-slope of streams may result in
sediment entering water resources. Toxic compounds (gas,
oil, etc.) from construction machinery use may be carried
into Quankey Creek and Little Quankey Creek. Best Management
Practices (BMPs) and Sedimentation Control guidelines should
be strictly applied to reduce the wash of sediment and toxic
compounds into Quankey Creek and Little Quankey Creek.
BIOTIC RESOURCES
A maintained community dominates the biotic resources
found in the study area. Grasses like fescue (Festuca spp.)
and other herbaceous plants are the prevalent vegetative .
components of this community type. Even-aged loblolly pine
(?inus taeda) and hardwood trees occur in highway buffers of
the median, shoulder slopes and drainages.
3
WETLANDS and PERMITS
If the proposed action is likely to result in the
placement of fill material into Waters of the United States,
authorizations under Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water
Act may be required. A Nationwide Permit 33 CFR 330.5(a)
(23) would then be applicable for all impacts to Waters of
the United States resulting from the proposed project. This
permit is suitable for use with a CE. A 401 Water Quality
General Certification would then be required from the DEM
prior to the issuance of the Nationwide permit.
FEDERALLY-PROTECTED SPECIES
As of 11 November 1994, the Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS) lists the following federally-protected species for
Halifax County (Table 1). A brief description of each
species characteristics and habitat follows.
Table I. Federally-Protected Species
for Halifax County
SCIENTIFIC NAIME COMMON NAME STATUS
Alasmidonta heterodon dwarf wedge mussel E
Ellintio steinstansana Tar spinymussel E
Picoides borealis red-cockaded woodpecker E
Note: "E" denotes Endangered (a species that is threatened
with extinction throughout all or a significant
portion of its range).
A review of the Natural Heritage program database of
uncommon and protected species revealed no recorded
occurrence of federally-protected species in or near the
project study area.
Alasmidonta heterodon (dwarf wedge mussel) E
The dwarf wedge mussel is a small mussel having a
distinguishable shell noted by two lateral teeth on the right
half and one on the left half. The periostracum (outer
shell) is olive green to dark brown in color and the nacre
(inner shell) is bluish to silvery white.
Known populations of the dwarf wedge mussel in North
Carolina are found in streams of the Neuse River Basin and
Tar River Basin. This mussel is sensitive to agricultural,
domestic, and industrial pollutants and requires a stable
silt free streambed with well oxygenated water to survive.
4
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: UNRESOLVED
Construction plans concerning earth work up slope of
streams, replacement of guardrail around streams and
continuous shoulder drain improvement work must be finalized
before a biological conclusion can be reached.
Elliptio steinstansana (Tar spinymussel) E
The Tar spinymussel is endemic to the Tar River drainage
basin, from Falkland in Pitt County to Spring Hope ii+ Wash
County. This mussel requires a stream with fast flowing,
well oxygenated, circumneutral pH water that is relatively
silt-free. The Tar spinymussel lives in substrates
consisting of uncompacted gravel and coarse sand. This
mussel is known to rely on a species of freshwater fish to
act as an intermediate host for its,larvae.
The Tar spinymussel is a very small mussel. This mussel
is named for its spines which project perpendicularly from
the surface and curve slightly ventrally. As many as 12
spines can be found on the shell which is generally smooth in
texture. The nacre is pinkish (anterior) and bluish-white
(posterior)
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
The Tar spinymussel is endemic to the Tar River Drainage
Basin, and no populations are known to occur outside of this
drainage basin. Quankey Creek and Little Quankey Creek lie
in the Roanoke River Basin. It can therefore be concluded
that construction of the proposed project will not impact the
Tar spinymussel.
Picoides borealis (red-cockaded woodpecker) E
The adult red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) has a plumage
that is entirely black and white except for small red streaks
on the sides of the nape in the male. The back of the RCS' is
black and white with horizontal stripes. The breast and
underside of this woodpecker are white with streaked flanks.
The RCW has.a large white cheek patch surrounded by the black
cap, nape, and throat.
The RCW uses open old growth stands of southern pines,
particularly longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), for foraging
and nesting habitat. A forested stand must contain at least
50% pine, lack a thick understory, and be contiguous with
other stands to be appropriate habitat for the RCW. These
birds nest exclusively in trees that are >60 years old and
are contiguous with pine.stands at least 30 years of age.
The fora-ino range of the RCW is up to 200 hectares (500
acres). This acreage must be contiguous with suitable
nesting sites.

These woodpeckers nest exclusively in living pine trees
and usually in trees that are infected with the fungus that
causes red-heart disease. Cavities are located in colonies
from 3.6-30.3 m (12-100 ft) above the ground and average 9.1-
15.7 m (30-50 ft) high. They can be identified by a large
incrustation of running sap that surrounds the tree. The RCW
lays its eggs in April, May, and June; the eggs 'hatch
approximately 33 days later.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
No habitat for the red-cockaded woodpecker occurs in the
project study area. Those pines found here are too young,
grow on the fringe of hardwood forests and/or isolated from
contiguous pine stands. No impact to.the red-cockaded
woodpecker will result from project construction.

This is in response to the Natural Resources report submitted on
December 15, 1994 for the subject project. In that report, you identified
three federally-protected species for Halifax County and provided
"Biological Conclusions" for two of those species. For one of the listed
species, the dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon , the potential
effects of the proposed project on the animal is unresolved". In your
report, you requested the aid of construction plans concerning possible
earthwork up slope of the streams in the project area, replacement of
guardrail near the streams, and installation of continuous shoulder drain
in order to determine the project's effects on the dwarf wedge mussel.
While construction plans are not finalized at this time, the roadway
design project engineer and the hydraulic project manager for the subject
project have indicated that no proposed construction activities are
anticipated to cause siltation at either Quankey Creek or Little Quankey
Creek. In addition, no stormwater runoff will flow directly into either
creek in the project area.
If you need any additional information in order to resolve the
potential effects of the project on the dwarf wedge mussel, please contact
me for assistance.
