Subject: Environmental Assessment for SR 1141 (Cumberland Road) Widening from
NC 59 (Hope Mills Road) to SR 1233 (Yale Street) in Hope Mills
Cumberland County
State Project No. 8.2441501, T.I.P. No. U-2304A
DENR # 98-0764, DWQ # 12099
The referenced document has been reviewed by this office. The Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) is responsible for issuance of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for
activities which impact waters of the state including wetlands. The proposed work described
within this EA includes symmetrical widening of 2.2 miles of SR 1141 from NC 59 to SR 1233
(T.I.P. No. U-2304A). The widening of an additional 0.34 mile of SR 1141 from West of
SR 1344 to SR 1007 will be discussed in a separate document (U-2304B). The segment
discussed herein will involve up to 0.35 acre of fill in riparian wetlands associated with the
extension of an existing perennial stream crossing. DWQ offers the following comments based
upon review of the document:
A) DOT studied three alternatives, all of which would require further encroachment (0.25 to
0.50 acre fill in wetlands plus 89 linear feet of stream loss) on Buckhead Creek and its
associated wetlands. Although the selected alternative is not the least damaging to
wetlands, we concur that it represents the most practical alternative considering local
social and environmental factors.
B) DOT anticipates approval of this work under Nationwide Permit 14 (General
Certification 3106); however, the anticipated 0.35 acre impact exceeds the 0.33 acre
threshold for Nationwide Permit 14. Unless this impact is reduced, the project would
require submittal of an Individual Permit application. We strongly encourage DOT to
reduce the footprint of this project at the Buckhead Creek crossing to minimize impacts
on wetlands and the stream. This could have the added benefit to DOT of reducing the
time required to process a Nationwide versus an Individual Permit.

C) Based upon the impacts described in the EA, neither wetland nor stream mitigation will
likely be required for this project; however, DOT should note that if total project impacts
for T.I.P. Nos. U-2304A and B together exceed 1.0 acre of fill in wetlands, mitigation
will be required in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h)(2). DOT is also advised
that, in accordance with DWQ Wetland Rules, 115A NCAC 2H.0506(h)(3) }, the
Wetland Restoration Program will be available to use for wetland mitigation.
D) We ask DOT to provide a discussion of the anticipated construction methodology at the
Buckhead Creek crossing. DWQ discourages placement of temporary fill in this wetland
if at all possible. DOT is advised that full restoration (including removal of fill material
and planting/monitoring of vegetation) of temporary fill areas exceeding one acre will be
required in accordance with Condition #4 of General Certification 3114 (Nationwide
Permit 33). All temporary fill material must be removed from construction access areas.
On May 27, 1997, DWQ submitted to DOT a draft restoration policy for temporary
impact areas. We anticipate finalization of this policy prior to construction of this
project.
Based upon the project description provided in the EA, a 401 Water Quality Certification
will be required for this project. Final permit authorization will require formal application by
NCDOT and written concurrence from DWQ. Please be aware that this approval will be
contingent upon evidence of avoidance and minimization of wetland and stream impacts to the
extent practical, and provision of wetland and stream mitigation where necessary.
DWQ appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the EA. DOT is reminded
that issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification requires satisfaction of water quality concerns,
to ensure that water quality standards are met and no wetland or stream uses are lost. Questions
regarding the 401 Certification Program should be directed to Cyndi Bell at [phone] or
Cyndi [e-mail] in DWQ's Water Quality Environmental Sciences Branch.

NCDOT will notify the N.C. Geodetic Survey prior to construction with regards to
four geodetic survey markers located along the proposed project.
NCDOT will conduct a site inspection of underground storage facilities located
within the project area prior to right of way acquisition. If leaks or contamination have
occurred, NCDOT will notify the Division of Environmental Management.
NCDOT will investigate the need for a floodway modification at the Buckhead Creek
crossing.
NCDOT will provide bicycle accommodations along SR 1141 (Cumberland Road) in
the form of differential striping for 13 foot outside lanes and eleven foot inside lanes.
NCDOT will continue to coordinate with the Town of Hope ]
for sidewalks along SR 1141.
4. Anticipated Design Exceptions
There are no design exceptions anticipated for this project.
5. Actions Required by Other Agencies
A United States Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 33 CFR 330.5(a)(14) is
anticipated to be applicable to the proposed project.
A North Carolina Division of Environmental Management Section 401 Water Quality
General Certification is also required. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act requires that the
state issue or deny water quality certification for any federally permitted or licensed activity
that may result in a discharge into waters of the United States.
6. Description of Action
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen SR
1141 (Cumberland Road) from NC 59 (Hope Mills Road) to SR 1233 (Yale Street) in
Cumberland County. NCDOT includes this project in the 1998-2004 Transportation
Improvement Plan (T.I.P.).
The North Carolina Department of Transportation will widen SR 1141 to a five lane
curb and gutter facility with a continuous left turn lane. The project's location is shown on
the vicinity map included as Figure 1. The proposed improvements to Cumberland Road are
described in more detail in Section II of this report.
7. Summary of Beneficial and Adverse Impacts
The proposed improvements to SR 1141 (Cumberland Road) will benefit the region
and local community by providing safer and more efficient travel through the area. This will
result in road user cost savings. Also, automobile traffic safety will be enhanced.
The proposed project will require the acquisition of approximately 6.1 acres of
additional right of way and easements. An estimated 11 residential relocations, 4 businesses
relocations, and 1 non profit organization relocation, the Cumberland Road Fire Department,
will occur as a result of the project. It is anticipated that 0.14 hectare (0.35 acre) of wetland
j will be impacted by the project. No federally protected species, archaeological sites, or
historic architectural resources are anticipated to be impacted by the proposed project. The
proposed project is not anticipated to have a significant detrimental effect on the quality of
the human environment.
It is predicted that 123 residences and businesses will approach or exceed the FHWA
Noise Abatement Criteria once the project is constructed; however, no receptors were found
to be impacted by a substantial increase in future exterior noise levels. The following table
shows the predicted maximum extent of the 72 and 67 dBA noise level contours.

Note: 1. Maximum predicted Leq noise levels are measured from the center of the near traffic lane.
2. 72 dBA and 67 dBA contour distances are measured from center of proposed roadway
This information should assist local authorities in exercising land use control over the
remaining undeveloped lands adjacent to the roadway within local jurisdiction. For example,
with the proper information on noise, local authorities can prevent filrther development of
incompatible activities and land uses with the predicted noise levels of an adjacent highway.
In accordance with NCDOT Traffic Noise Abatement Policy, the Federal/State
governments are no longer responsible for providing noise abatement measures for new
development for which building permits are issued within the noise impact area of a proposed
highway after the Date of Public Knowledge. The Date of Public Knowledge of the location
of a proposed highway project will be the approval date of CEs, FONSIs, RODs, or the
Design Public Hearing, whichever comes later. For development occurring after this public
knowledge date, local governing bodies are responsible to insure that noise compatible
designs are utilized along the proposed facility.
8. Alternatives Considered
Four alternatives to widen SR 1141 to a multi-lane curb and gutter facility were
studied: symmetrical widening, north-side widening, south-side widening, and a combination
of these three alternatives. Each alternative would provide the same typical section and
require approximately the same amount of new right of way. The recommended
improvement, symmetrical widening, was selected based upon impacts to residential and
business properties, wetland impacts, and project costs. Also, traffic noise impacts would be
greater if asymmetrical widening (alternates 2 and 3) were done.
In addition to the above design alternatives, postponement of the proposed action, the
"Do Nothing" alternative, and alternative modes of transportation were considered, but are
not recommended. Additional information on the alternatives studied is included in Section
III of this report.
9. Federal. State. and Local Agencies Contacted at the Beginning of this Study
The following municipalities and agencies were contacted for information and
comments relating to the widening of Cumberland Road. An asterisk ("*") denotes agencies
from which written comments were received.

I NEED FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT
A. General Description
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen SR
1141 (Cumberland Road) from NC 59 (Hope Mills Road) in Hope Mills to SR 1233 (Yale
Street), a distance of 3.5 km (2.2 miles) (see Figure 1). NCDOT includes this project in the
1998-2004 Transportation Improvement Program (T.I.P.). Right of way acquisition is
scheduled to begin in fiscal year 1999, and construction is scheduled to begin in fiscal year
2001.
NCDOT will widen SR 1141, which is an existing three lane shoulder section, to a
five lane curb and gutter section. The proposed typical section will be 19.2 meters (64 feet)
wide from face to face of curbs. It will provide four through lanes (two in each direction) and
a continuous center left-turn lane. The proposed project will provide a design speed of
approximately 80 km/hr (50 mph) in anticipation of a posted speed limit of 70 km/hr (45
mph). It will require 27.4 meters (90 feet) of right of way. The proposed improvements are
shown in Figure 2.
The estimated cost of the project is $12,100,000, including $8,500,000 for right of
way acquisition and $3,600,000 for construction. The funding shown in the 1998-2004 T.I.P.
is $3,150,000 for right of way acquisition and $4,300,000 for construction, for a total of
$7,450,000.
B. Purpose Of The Project
SR 1141 operates at a low level of service, and these conditions will become more
severe as traffic volumes increase in the future. The purpose of this project is to alleviate
congestion and improve safety along SR 1141; and in doing so, improve the level of service
along SR 1141.
C. Characteristics of the Existing Facility
1. Functional Classification
SR 1141 is classified as an urban minor arterial.
2. Length of Roadway Section Studied
The length of the studied section of SR 1141 from NC 59 (Hope Mills Road) to
SR 1233 (Yale Street) is 3.5 km (2.2 mi.).
3. Fxistiniz Cross Sections
The existing cross section on SR 1141 within the project limits is a three-lane,
10.9 meter (36 foot) pavement with grassed shoulders varying from 1.2 to 1.8
meters (4 to 6 feet) in width. There is a continuous center turn lane throughout the
project.
4. Right of Way
The existing right of way along SR 1141 is 18.3 in (60 feet), symmetrical about
the roadway centerline.
5. Access Control
There is no control of access along the project.
6. Vertical and Horizontal Curvature
The horizontal alignment is generally straight throughout most of the project.
The vertical alignment is predominantly level for most of the project except for
vertical curves just east and west of Buckhead Creek.
7. Speed Limit
The posted speed limit along the project is 70 km/h (45 mph).
8. Intersecting Roads and Type of Control
All the intersections along SR 1141 are at grade. There are three signalized
intersections along the project: SR 1141/NC 59 (Hope Mills Road), SR 1141/SR
1219 (Ireland Drive), and SR 1141/SR 1149 (Boone Trail).
9. Interchanges
There are no interchanges along SR 1141 within the project limits.
10. Project Terminals
The western project terminal is located in Hope Mills just east of the
intersection of NC 59 and SR 1141. TIP Project U-2308 calls for the widening of NC
59 (Hope Mills Road) to a multi-lane facility from SR 1003 (Camden Road) to US
401 Business. As part of Project U-2308, the section of SR 1141 between NC 59 and
SR 1135 (Smith Road) will be widened to a five-lane, 19.2-meter (64-foot) face to
face curb and gutter facility. Right of way acquisition for Project U-2308 is
scheduled to begin in Fiscal Year 1998, with construction to follow in fiscal year
2000.
The eastern project terminal is located at the intersection of SR 1141 and SR
1233 (Yale Street). TIP project B-2534 begins at the east terminal of U-2304A and
extends east to the intersection of SR 1141 and SR 1344 (Natal Street). This project
involves the replacement of Bridge No. 170 over the CSX railroad and is currently
under construction. Project B-2534 calls for widening SR 1141 to a 5-lane, 19.2-
meter (64-foot) face to face curb and gutter facility. A four-foot sidewalk will be
constructed on the south side of thebridgeon one side.
11. Bridges and Drainage Structures
There is a drainage structure at Buckhead Creek, approximately 1.6 km (1.0
mile) east of NC 59. This structure consists of three 2100 mm (84 in) corrugated
metal pipes.
12. Railroads
There is no railroad or rail corridor along this project. CSX Railroad crosses SR
1141 approximately 64 meters ( 210 feet) east of the eastern terminal of the subject
project (SR 1233).
13. Sidewalks
There are no existing sidewalks along the project.
14. Bicycle Accommodations
There are currently no special accommodations for bicycle traffic on SR 1141
within the project limits.
15. Parking
There is no on-street parking within the project limits.
16. Utilities
The utility conflict rating for this project is high. There are phone lines,
underground storage tanks, water lines, and a power substation located on this project.
The power substation is located on the north side of SR 1141 approximately 50
meters (164 feet) east of the SR 1141/SR 1149 (Boone Trail) intersection.
17. School Bus Data
The Cumberland County Transportation Office indicated that there are 46-60
school bus trips on this segment of SR 1141 daily.
18. Degree of Roadside Interference
The degree of roadside interference is high due to businesses and private
driveways along the project on both sides of SR 1141.
19. Airports
Fayetteville Municipal Airport is located on Airport Road approximately
3.2 km (2 miles) southeast of SR 1141. The proposed project is not anticipated to
affect the airport.
20. Geodetic Markers
Four geodetic survey markers will be impacted by the proposed project.
NCDOT will notify N.C. Geodetic Survey prior to construction with regards to the
survey markers.
D. Traffic Volumes and CapacitX Analysis
In the year 1995, the average daily traffic along the proposed project varied from
21,700 vehicles per day west of SR 1249 (Pine Spring Drive) to 12,200 vehicles per day east
of SR 1149 (Boone Trail). In 2020 the average daily traffic along this section of SR 1141 is
anticipated to vary from 34,000 vehicles per day west of Pine Springs Drive to 21,800
4
vehicles per day east of Boone Trail. Traffic volumes for the years 1995 and 2020 are shown
in Figures 6A and 6B. Truck percentages, directional distribution, and the design hour factor
for each segment of the project are also shown.
The traffic carrying capacity of a roadway is described with a level of service rating, a
qualitative measure of the roadway's operational conditions and how these conditions are
perceived by motorists. Level of service is determined using conditions such as speed, travel
time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, convenience, and safety. Six levels of
service are defined and are assigned letter designations from A to F. Level of service A
represents the best operating conditions, and level of service F represents the worst operating
conditions.
Using the traffic data described above and included in Figures 6A and 6B, capacity
analyses for the years 1995 and 2020 were performed for SR 1141 with and without the
proposed improvements.
1. Mainline Analysis
Mainline capacity analyses were performed for SR 1141. The level of service
(LOS) on New Hope Road in the year 1995 was E. If improvements are not
made to the existing road, the LOS for 2020 will be F. The LOS for New Hope Road
in the year 2020 will range from C to D if the recommended improvements are made.
2. Intersection Analysis
Capacity analyses were also performed for the major intersections along the
project. The results of these analyses are summarized in Table 1. Each of the these
intersections, except Wingate Road, are presently signalized. A new signal is
proposed at Wingate Road.

As shown in Table 1, without the proposed improvements, the level of service at the
major intersections along the project will be F in the design year. With the proposed
improvements, the levels of service will vary from C to D in the design year.
E. Thoroughfare Plan
SR 1141 (Cumberland Road) is shown as a major thoroughfare on the Fayetteville
Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan, which was approved by the North Carolina Department of
Transportation on March 8, 1996. A copy of the thoroughfare plan is included as Figure 4.
F. Accident Data and Analysis
An accident study for SR 1141 was conducted for the time period from July 1, 1992
to May 31, 1996. A summary of the accident rates (in accidents per 100 million vehicle
kilometers) along with the statewide rates for urban three-lane undivided secondary roads is
shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2. ACCIDENT RATES (PER 100 MILLION VEHICLE KILOMETERS)

ACCIDENT TYPE

RATES ALONG SR 1141 AVERAGE STATEWIDE
RATES FOR URBAN
THREE-LANE
SECONDARY ROADS
All Accidents 617.65 201.63
Fatal 0.0 0.00
Non-Fatal 310.39 85.24
Nighttime 128.55 32.65
Wet Conditions 166.17 33.90
Three hundred and ninety-four accidents occurred along the project during the period
from July 1, 1992 to May 31, 1995. The overall accident rate during this period was 617.65
accidents per 100 million vehicle kilometers (acc/100MVK). This. is three times greater than
the statewide average of 201.63 acc/100MVK for urban three-lane secondary roads during
this period.
Out of the three hundred and ninety-four accidents occurring in the studied years,
there were no fatal accidents and three hundred twenty-nine non-fatal injury accidents along
SR 1141 within the project limits. One hundred and thirty-six of the accidents (34.5%) were
rear end collisions. Rear end collisions made up the highest percentage of accidents.
G. Other Proposed Highway Improvements in the Project Area
TIP Project B-2534 proposes to replace Bridge No. 170 on SR 1141 over the CSX
railroad. This project begins at the east terminal of Project U-2304A and ends at Natal Street
(SR 1344). Construction is currently underway.
TIP Project U-2304B calls for the widening of SR 1141 to a multi-lane facility from
Natal St. (SR 1344) to Owen Drive (SR 1007). Construction is currently underway.
TIP Project U-2308 proposes to widen NC 59 (Hope Mills Road) to a multi-lane
facility from south of SR 1003 (Camden Road) to US 401 Business. Currently, right of way
acquisition is scheduled to begin in Fiscal Year 1998, with construction to follow in Fiscal
Year 2000.
TIP Project U-620, the Hope Mills Bypass, proposes to construct a multi-lane facility
(part on new location) from SR 1141 (Bingham Drive) to SR 1363 (Elk Mill Road). Right of
way acquisition is scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2001, and construction is scheduled to
begin in fiscal year 2003.
TIP Project U-3311 proposes to widen SR 1141 (Bingham Drive) to a multi-lane
facility from US 401 (Raeford Road) to the proposed Hope Mills Bypass. Right of way
acquisition is scheduled to begin in October, 2002, and construction is scheduled to begin in
October, 2003.
These projects are shown in Figure 8.
H. Benefits to the State. Region, and Community
The proposed improvements to SR 1141 will benefit the region and local community
by providing safer and more efficient travel through the area. Traffic congestion will be
decreased, thereby making it easier for travelers to reach their destinations. Also, goods and
services will be transported in the area more efficiently.
II. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
A. Length of Project
SR 1141 (Cumberland Road) will be widened from NC 59 to SR 1233 (Yale Street),
a length of 3.5 km (2.2 miles). The project is shown in Figure 2.
B. Project Termini
The western project terminal is located in Hope Mills at the intersection of SR 1141
and SR 1135 (Smith Road), just east of NC 59. The segment of SR 1141 between NC 59 and
SR 1135 will be widened under TIP Project U-2308 to a five-lane, 19.2-meter (64-foot) face
to face curb and gutter facility.
The need for widening the section of SR 1141 between NC 59 and SR 1107 will be
addressed as a separate TIP project at the same time that the SR 1107 (Fisher Road)
realignment is evaluated.
The eastern project terminal is located at the intersection of SR 1141 and SR 1233
(Yale Street). The segment of SR 1141 between SR 1233 (Yale Street) and SR 1344 (Natal
Street) is currently being widened to a five-lane, 19.2-meter (64-foot) face to face curb and
gutter section under Project B-2534.
C. Typical Section Description
The proposed typical section is a five lane curb and gutter section. This will provide
four through lanes and a continuous center left-turn lane. It will be 19.2 meters (64 feet)
wide from face to face of curbs. There will be a 3.0-meter (10-foot) grass berm on each side.
D. Right of Way
The proposed widening will require approximately 25.2 meters (83 feet) of right of
way. Temporary construction easements will also be required throughout most of the project.
E. Access Control
No control of access is recommended along the project.
F. Intersection Treatment and Tvne of Con
The intersection of NC 59 (Hope Mills Road) and SR 1141 will be improved under
T.I.P. Project U-2308.
SR 1249 (Pine Springs Drive) will be realigned opposite SR 1219 (Ireland Drive) to
provide a four-leg intersection with a continuous right-turn lane from eastbound SR 1141
onto southbound Pine Springs Drive. The intersection of SR 1141 and SR 1219 (Ireland
Drive) is signalized and will remain so under the subject project.
SR 2920 (Upchurch Road) will be realigned opposite SR 1149 (Boone Trail) to
provide a four-leg intersection with a continuous right-turn lane from eastbound SR 1141
onto southbound Upchurch Road. The intersection of SR 1141 and SR 1149 (Boone Trail) is
signalized and will remain so under the subject project.
A traffic signal will be added at the intersection of SR 1141 and SR 1136 (Wingate
Street).
All other intersections with SR 1141 along the project are stop sign controlled and
will remain stop sign controlled.
In addition to the proposed five-lane improvements, an additional left turn lane will
be included on eastbound SR 1141 at the intersection with SR 1219 (Ireland Drive).
G. Interchanizes
There are no interchanges proposed as a part of this project.
H. Bridges and Drainage Structures
There is a three-barrel 2100 mm (84 in.) corrugated metal pipe culvert located at
Buckhead Creek. This structure was found to be hydraulically inadequate and will be
replaced with a double-barrel 3.0 m x 2.1 m (10 ft x 7 ft) reinforced concrete box culvert
(RCBC). This is the only structure within the project limits.
1. Design Speed
The proposed design speed of the project is 80 km/hr (50 mph).
J. Sidewalks
The Town of Hope Mills and the Cumberland County Joint Planning Board have
requested sidewalks on this project; however, a formal request addressing the criteria listed in
the NCDOT sidewalk policy has not been received. NCDOT must receive a formal request
by the end of the ten-day comment period following the public hearing in order to consider
this request. NCDOT will continue to coordinate with the Town of Hope Mills and the
Cumberland County Joint Planning Board concerning this issue.
K. Bicycle Accommodations
The Transportation Advisory Committee of the Fayetteville Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) has requested that bicycle accommodations be included as a part of this
project (see pages A4-15 through A4-17). Bike lanes along Cumberland Road are included
in the 1998-2004 NCDOT Transportation Improvement Plan as an incidental project. The
MPO is in the process of developing a local area bike route system which includes SR 1141
as a proposed route (see Figure 9). The route system will serve to connect the downtown
area of Hope Mills with the surrounding areas. It will also connect the surrounding
residential areas to Cumberland Elementary School, located east of the project, shopping
areas in the vicinity, and three churches located along the project.
NCDOT has reviewed the MPO's request and discussed it with both the MPO and the
NCDOT Office of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation. Although this section of SR 1141
is a proposed bike route, the two SR 1141 widening projects to the east, B-2534 and U-
2304B, do not include extra pavement width for bicycle traffic. Also, bicycle-safe (54-inch
high) guardrail is not proposed on the new structure over the CSX Railroad being constructed
under Project B-2534. Based on these considerations, only differential striping is
recommended to accommodate bicycle traffic. This will provide 3.9-meter (13-foot) outside
lanes and 3.3-meter (11-foot) inside lanes along SR 1141.
L. Greenw-a_ys
There are no greenways proposed as a part of this project.
M. ParkinLy
No on-street parking on SR 1141 is proposed as a part of this project.
N. Landscaping
Landscaping and erosion control plans will be developed by the Roadside
Environmental Unit of the North Carolina Department of Transportation during final design
of the proposed project.
0. Noise Barriers
There are no noise barriers recommended for the project.
P. Multiple Use of Space
There are no plans to use the right of way for any other purposes except public
utilities. Public utilities will be allowed within the right of way within certain limitations.
Q. Changes in the State Highmy System
No changes to the state highway system are proposed as a part of the project.
R. Railroads
No revisions to railroads or rail corridors are proposed.
S. Degree of Utility Conflicts
This project has a high utility conflict rating due to a power substation, phone lines,
underground storage tanks, and water lines located along the project.
T. Design Exceptions
No design exceptions are anticipated for this project.
U. Cost Estimates
The proposed improvements are estimated to cost a total of $12,100,000, including
$8,500,000 for right-of-way and $3,600,000 for construction.
V. Special Permits Required
Conditions for a Nationwide Permit No. 14 (minor road crossings) from the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers apply to the project. If the project requires a permit No. 14, a 401
Water Quality Certification will be required from the N.C. Division of Water Quality.
W. Geodetic Survey Markers
Four geodetic survey markers will be impacted by the proposed project. NCDOT will
notify N.C. Geodetic Survey prior to construction with regard to the survey markers.
III ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
A. Alternate Modes of Transportation
During the metropolitan transportation planning process, vanpooling, carpooling, and
bus service were studied as alternate modes of transportation. It was determined that no
alternate mode of transportation would be a practical alternative to the recommended
alternative. Fayetteville has a bus system and a vanpooling system in place; however, neither
mode has significantly reduced the single occupancy vehicle rate for the area. The bus
system only serves the areas within the Fayetteville City Limits; therefore, this project is not
included in the service area. Local ridership numbers are low for mass transportation and
suggest that the preferred mode of transportation is the automobile. Alternatives to the
automobile would not alleviate congestion and improve safety along SR 1141 and do not
meet the purpose and need of the project.
B. Do Nothing Alternative
Although this alternative would avoid the adverse environmental impacts that are
anticipated to result from the project, there would be no positive effect on the traffic capacity
and safety of the highway. Therefore, this alternative is not recommended.
C. Postponement Alternative
Currently, SR 1141 is operating near capacity during peak traffic hours. Also, the
accident rate along SR 1141 is substantially higher than the statewide average for similar
routes. Based on traffic projections, SR 1141 will operate at level of service F in the design
year. Postponement of the project would result in continuing traffic service deterioration as
traffic volumes increase. Therefore, NCDOT does not recommend this alternative.
D: Recommended Alternative
NCDOT will widen SR 1141 to a five-lane section with curb and gutter from east of
NC 59 (Hope Mills Road) in Hope Mills to SR 1233 (Yale Street). The proposed typical
section will be 19.2 meters (64 feet) wide from face to face of curbs. It will provide four
through lanes (two in each direction) and a continuous left-turn lane. The widening will be
symmetrical along the entire length of the project. The proposed improvements are shown in
Figure 2.
The completed project will provide a design speed of 80 km/hr (50 mph). It will
require 25.2 meters (83 feet) of right of way. Temporary construction easements will also be
required throughout most of the project. There will be 11 residential relocations, 4 business
relocations, and 1 non-profit organization relocation. The recommended improvement will
impact the wetland site near Buckhead Creek (see Figures 2 and 3).
Improvements to the SR 1141 intersections with SR 1249 (Pine Springs Drive) and
SR 2920 (Upchurch Road) will be included in the widening of SR 1141. SR 1249 (Pine
Springs Drive) will be realigned opposite SR 1219 (Ireland Drive) to provide a four-leg
intersection. SR 2920 (Upchurch Road) will be realigned opposite SR 1149 (Boone Trail) to
provide a four-leg intersection.
10
E. Design Alternative
Four alternatives to widen SR 1141 to a multi-lane curb and gutter facility were
considered: symmetrical widening, north side widening, south side widening, and a
combination of these three. The recommended improvement, symmetrical widening, was
selected based upon impacts to residential and business properties, wetland impacts, and
project costs. Each alternative would provide the same typical section and require
approximately the same amount of right of way as the recommended alternative. None of the
other studied alternatives had less overall right of way and environmental impacts than the
recommended alternative; therefore, NCDOT rejected those alternatives.
Symmetrical widening was chosen for this project because the least amount of right
of way impacts would result and because the existing residential and commercial
development is evenly distributed on both sides of SR 1141. Symmetrical widening was also
favorable because of the fairly straight alignment along the majority of the project. It was
also determined that noise level impacts would increase if asymmetrical widening were
chosen instead of symmetrical widening, as shown in Tables N6.1, N6.2, and N6.3 (see pages
A2-23 through A2-25).
Northside, southside and symmetrical widening were considered at the Buckhead
Creek wetland site (see Table 3). The wetland is located along the south side of SR 1141.
Southside widening would result in an estimated two relocatees in the vicinity of Buckhead
Creek, but would impact 0.20 ha (0.50 acre) of wetlands and have a linear impact of 27.2
meter (89 feet) to Buckhead Creek. Because of these impacts to Buckhead Creek and its
wetlands, and the addition of two relocatees, the southside widening alternative was
eliminated from further consideration. Northside widening would impact only 0.10 ha (0.25
acre) of wetlands and have a linear impact of only 7.2 meter (24 feet) to Buckhead Creek, but
would result in an increased right of way cost ($9,000,000) and greater proximity damage to
residential and commercial properties on the north side of SR 1141 in the vicinity of
Buckhead Creek.Northside widening would result in eleven residential, four business, and
one non-profit relocatee. Symmetrical widening would impact 0.14 ha (0.35 acre) of
wetlands and have a linear impact of 27.2 meter (89 feet) to Buckhead Creek, but would
result in less proximity damage to residential and commercial prop erties'in the vicinity of
Buckhead Creek and a right of way cost of $8,500,000. Symmetrical widening would result
in eleven residential, four business, and one non-profit relocatee. Based on the above
considerations, symmetrical widening is recommended because it provides the best balance
between impacts to homes and businesses, impacts to water resources, and total project costs.
* This alternative was eliminated from further consideration because of the impacts to
Buckhead Creek.
I1
This project also includes the realignment of two intersections along SR 1141. SR
1249 (Pine Springs Drive) will be realigned to tie into SR 1141 opposite SR 1219 (Ireland
Drive), thus creating a four way intersection. This realignment of SR 1249 will impact one
business, Ms. Carolyn's' Day Care, located in the southeast quadrant of the existing
intersection of SR 1249 and SR 1141. Realigning SR 1219 was studied, but is not
recommended due to the relocation of three homes and one business that would result. For
this reason, realigning SR 1249 was chosen for this intersection.
SR 2920 (Upchurch Drive) will also be realigned to tie into SR 1141 opposite SR
1149 (Boone Trail). The alignment of SR 2920 will impact one non-profit organization, the
Cumberland Road Fire Station, located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of SR
2920 and SR 1141. Realigning SR 1149 was considered; however, approximately four
houses would be relocated. For this reason, realigning SR 2029 was chosen for this
intersection.
IV. SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
A. Social Effects
1. Land Use
The proposed highway improvement is located within the jurisdictions of both
Cumberland County and the Town of Hope Mills. A joint City-County Planning
Commission is responsible for long range planning and land use controls for both
jurisdictions.
a. Status of Planning
In 1996 the City-County Planning Commission completed the County's first
comprehensive plan. The plan was adopted by the County and all its
municipalities. Until then, the 1978 Land Use Plan served as the area's primary
land use guidance tool, along with the city and county zoning ordinance and
subdivision regulations.
b. Existing Land Use
The project area is primarily residential with occasional commercial,
institutional, and municipal facility uses. Commercial uses, including a Harris
Teeter shopping center and other businesses, are located near the intersection
with NC 59. From SR 1136 (Wingate Street) to SR 1233 (Yale Street), the
project area is primarily single-family residential, except for some scattered
commercial uses and a wetland area at Buckhead Creek.
c. Existing Zoning
The current zoning map for the project area indicates that the entire project
area is zoned for residential uses.
d. Future Land Use
Medium to high density single-family residential development is the
predominant land use designated for the project area.
12
e. PP ject Consistency with Local Plans The widening of SR 1141 will alleviate traffic congestion and improve
safety. No existing or planned parks or greenways will be affected by the
proposed improvements to SR 1141.
2. Neighborhood Characteristics
Cumberland county is in the southeastern section of the state and is bounded by
Sampson, Bladen, Robeson, Hoke, Harnett, and Johnson Counties. The 1990 Census
of Population indicates that Cumberland County has a total population of 274,566.
The proposed project takes place near the Town of Hope Mills in an urbanized
section of the community. Hope Mills has a population of 8,184.
The proposed project is within a well developed community. Development
consists of commercial, residential, and institutional uses. Except for the commercial
establishments near the beginning of the project, development is mixed. Residential
development shares a large portion of the landscape, with commercial and
institutional establishments located at various intervals along the proposed project
site.
3. Relocations
Additional right of way will be needed to construct the project. Temporary
construction easements will also be required. NCDOT anticipates the project will
require relocating 11 residences, 4 businesses, and 1 non-profit organization.
Relocation reports for two alternatives were completed. Alternative IA calls for
northside widening near Buckhead Creek and symmetrical widening throughout the
rest of the project (11 residential, 4 business, and 1 non-profit organization relocation
would result). Alternative 1, the recommended alternative, calls for symmetrical
widening for the entire project. (11 residential, 4 business, and 1 non-profit
organization relocation would result) Relocation reports for the two alternatives are
included in Appendix 1 of this report (see pages Al-3 and A1-4).
For all relocations, it is the policy of the NCDOT to ensure that comparable
replacement housing will be available prior to construction of State and Federally
assisted projects. Furthermore, the North Carolina Board of Transportation has the
following three programs to minimize the inconvenience of relocation:
*Relocation Assistance
*Relocation Moving Payments, and
*Relocation replacement housing payments or rent supplement.
Appendix 1 contains information on the Division of Highways Relocation
Programs (see pages Al-1 and Al-2).
4. Public Facilities
There are three churches located along the project. They are the Faith
Tabernacle Pentecostal Holiness Church, located in the southeast quadrant of the
intersection of SR 2919 (Penny Drive) and SR 1141, the Church of the Bridegroom,
located in the southwest quadrant of the intersection of SR 3386 (Sedgefield Drive)
and SR 1141, and Faymont Baptist Church, located on the south side of SR 1141 east
of SR 1379 (Everitte Drive). Also located along the project is the Boys and Girls'
13
Club, located on the south side of SR 1141 directly across from SR 1-3 50 (Carbine
Street), Ms. Carolyn's Day Care, located, in the southeast quadrant of the intersection
of SR 1249 (Pine Springs Road) and SR 1141, Cumberland Road Fire Department,
located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of SR 2920 (Upchurch Drive) and
SR 1141, and an electrical substation, located in the northwest quadrant of the
intersection of SR 1249 (Pine Springs Drive) and SR 1141.
Ms. Carolyn's Day Care and Cumberland Road Fire Department will both be
relocated as a part of this project. Alternatives considered to avoid these relocations
are discussed in Section III.E. of this report. Also, part of the electrical substation
may be relocated as a part of this project.
No other public facilities will be adversely impacted by the proposed widening
on SR 1141.
5. Social Impacts
The proposed project will not disrupt neighborhood cohesion or interfere with
facilities and services. It has been designed to minimize the number of relocations.
The 1990 Census of Population indicates that Cumberland has a total population
of 274,566. The minority population is 104,445, or 38.04 percent of the total
population. The percent of the population with wages below the poverty level is
14.43. Of the eleven total relocations (six residential/four business/one non-profit)
anticipated to result from the proposed widening, four (two residential/two business)
are minorities. Three low-income relocatees are anticipated as a result of the
proposed widening.
Environmental Justice refers to an executive order that requires federal agencies
to administer their programs and activities so that minority and low-income
populations are not disproportionately affected. The proposed project complies with
the Executive Order.
6. Historic and Cultural Resources
a. Historic Architectural Resource
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) conducted a file search and
found no structures of historical or architectural importance located within the
project area. SHPO recommended no survey for historic architectural resources.
Based on this recommendation, no surveys were conducted. See page A4-14
for a copy of correspondence from SHPO.
b. Archaeological Resources
According to SHPO, there are no known archaeological sites within the
project area, and it is unlikely any archaeological resources eligible for
inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will be affected by the
project. SHPO recommended no survey for archaeological resources.
Based on this recommendation, no surveys were conducted. See page A4-14
for a copy of correspondence from the SHPO.
7. Section 4(f) Resources
Section 4(f) of the U.S. Department of Transportation Act of 1966 specifies that
publicly owned land from a park, recreation area, or wildlife or waterfowl refuge or
14
land from historic resources of national, state, or local significance may be used for
Federal-Aid projects only if: _ ?.
(1) There is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use of such land.
(2) Such highway program or project includes all possible planning to minimize
harm to 4(f) lands resulting from such use.
The project will not use property from any resource protected by Section 4(f).
B. Economic Effec
North Carolina Preliminary Civilian Labor Force Estimates (Preliminary Data for
November 1996) indicate that Cumberland County had a total labor force of 113,640. Out of
this total, there were 108,760 persons gainfully employed. This left an unemployment total
of 4,880, or 4.3 percent.
In order to improve existing SR 1141 by widening to a multi-lane highway facility, it
will be necessary to relocate approximately four businesses. However, the improved
highway facility will be a safer facility for transporting goods and services. Increased
efficiency in getting goods and services to their destinations will result. In addition,
motorists will experience fewer delays as a result of the project, resulting in reduced road-
user costs. In summary, the proposed project will be beneficial for the majority of businesses
in the project area.
C. Environmental Effec
1. Bioloeical Resource
Biotic resources include aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. This section
describes ecosystems encountered in the study area, as well as the relationships
between fauna and flora within these ecosystems. Composition and distribution of
biotic communities throughout the project area are reflective of topography, hydrologic
influences, and past and present land uses in the study area. Descriptions of the
terrestrial systems are presented in the context of plant community classifications.
Dominant flora and fauna observed, or likely to occur, in each community are
described and discussed. Faunal species observed during the site visit, either directly
or indirectly through spoor evidence, are highlighted by an asterisk (*).
a. Terrestrial Communities
Two terrestrial communities are identified in the project study area, Ruderal and
Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp (blackwater subtype). Community boundaries
within the study area are well defined without a significant transition zone between
them due to extensive development. Many faunal species likely to occur within the
study area will exploit both communities for shelter and foraging opportunities or as
movement corridors.
The Ruderal Community
By far, the dominant terrestrial community within the project area is the
Ruderal Community. Several habitats exhibiting similar characteristics are included
in this description: road shoulders, residential and business landscapes, and vacant
15
lots. Road shoulders are irregularly maintained, receiving only periodic m
herbicide applications. Residential and business landscapes receive more free
mowing and general maintenance. Vacant lots in the project area are presvarious stages of succession, ranging from essentially bare ground to the intrusion
larger woody species.
Road shoulders act as buffers between the roadway and surrounding
communities by filtering stormwater run-off and reducing runoff velocities.
Vegetation occurring within frequently maintained portions of the road shoulder
include such low growing species as fescue (Festuca spp.), Bermuda grass (Cynodon
dactylon), crab grass (Digitaria sanguinalis), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale),
clover (Trifolium spp.), and buckhom plantain (Plantago lanceolata). Areas
receiving less frequent maintenance are occupied by broomsedge (Andropogon
virginicus), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera
japonica), goldenrod (Solidago spp.), and ragweed (Ambrosia spp.).
Vegetation associated with residential and business landscapes include
flowering dogwood (Corpus jlorida), longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), redbud (Cercis
canadensis), mimosa (Albizia julibrissin), southern red oak (Quercus falcata), azalea
(Rhododendron spp.), wax leaf ligustrum (Ligustrum japonicum), and various
ornamental hybrids of hollies (flex spp.), arbor vitae (Thuja spp.), and juniper
(Juniperus spp.). Lawn areas are dominated by fescue, Bermuda grass, plantain, and
crabgrass.
Vacant lots within the project area vary in composition from bare ground
(associated with recent excavation) to parcels that have apparently been abandoned
for some time and contain larger species of woody vegetation. Vegetation associated
with lots that are in the earlier stages of succession include goldenrod, ragweed, bitter
sneeze weed (Helenium amarum), kudzu (Pueraria lobata), sicklepod (Cassia
obtusifolia), dog-fennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), Japanese clover (Lespedeza
striata), broomsedge, and various asters (Aster spp.). Vacant lots that have been
abandoned for several years contain a mixture of herbaceous species previously
mentioned and also contain woody species of vegetation which include: winged
sumac (Rhus copallina), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Japanese honeysuckle,
and saplings of tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda).
Small mammals that commonly occur within the maintained/disturbed
community are the Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), house mouse (Mus musculus),
least shrew (Cryptotis parva), and eastern mole (Scalopus aquaticus). The house
mouse is found in association with human activities and finds food and shelter in
barns, houses, restaurants, and warehouses. It does equally well in weedy and
overgrown fields. Eastern moles excavate extensive tunnels and feed upon
earthworms, insects, and plant material. The Virginia oppossum* (Didelphis
virginiana) and raccoon (Procyon lotor) are very adaptive mammals that will frequent
this habitat for foraging opportunities. The eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus jloridanus)
will utilize the disturbed habitats to forage on shrubs and herbaceous vegetation.
16
species likely to utilize this habitat for refuge and-forage include the
'cer (Picoides pubescens), mourning dove* (Zenaida macroura),
(Turdus migratorius), Carolina chickadee (Parus carolinensis),
iryothorus ludovicianus), northern cardinal* (Cardinalis cardinalis),
(Passer domesticus). These species will take advantage of
sites provided by human settlement.. The American kestrel (Falco
-age on insects and small vertebrates and find suitable nesting sites
Reptiles that will find suitable shelter and forage in proximity with human
activities include: eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis), rat snake (Elaphe
obsoleta), Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis), five-lined skink (Eumeces fasciatus),
and eastern fence lizard (Sceloporus undulatus). The diet of the rat snake consists of
rats and mice which are found in abundance in this community.
The Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp Community
A coastal plain small stream swamp (blackwater subtype) is present south of SR
1141, where it is found in association with Buckhead Creek. Coastal plain small
stream swamps are found within the flood plains of small blackwater streams in
which "separate fluvial features, associated vegetation, are too small or poorly
developed to be distinguished" (Schafale and Weakley, 1990).
The canopy in this alluvial community is composed of bald cypress (Taxodium
distichum), black gum (Nyssa aquatica var. biflora), and green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica). Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) occurs within the canopy
trees, sweet bay (Magnolia virginiana), titi (Cyrilla racemiflora), Atlantic white cedar
(Chamaecyparis thyoides), sweet pepper bush (Clethra alnifolia), large gallberry (Ilex
coriacea), and fetter-bush (Lyonia lucida). Tag alder (Alnus serrulata) is situated on
the northern bank of Buckhead Creek, where it forms a small thicket. Herbaceous
vegetation is dominated by the smartweeds: tearthumb (Polygonum sagittatum),
Pennsylvania smartweed (P. pensylvancium), and (P. hydropiper). Cinnamon fern
(Osmunda cinnamonea) is present in isolated patches. Bamboo vine (Smilax
laurifolia) is present within the shrub layer portions of this wetland system.
b. Aquatic Communities
One aquatic community will be impacted by the proposed project, Buckhead
Creek. Physical characteristics of the water body and condition of the water resource
influence faunal composition of aquatic communities. Terrestrial communities
adjacent to a water resource also greatly influence aquatic communities.
Fauna associated with the aquatic communities include various vertebrate
and invertebrate species. Fish (1968), classifies Buckhead Creek as being too small
to be of any fishing significance. However, typical gamefish species such as chain
pickerel (Esox niger),;redfin pickerel (E. americanus), redbreast sunfish (Lepomis
auritus), bluegill (L. macrochirus), and yellow bullhead catfish (Ameiurus natalis) are
likely to be present. Invertebrates that would be present include: crayfish
(Cambaridae), nymphal and larval stages of dragonflies (Odonata), caddisflies
17
(Trichoptera), and horseflies (Tabanidae). Various annelid worms, such as the leech
(Hirudinea) and naids (Naididae), may be found abundantly within the creek
sediments and detritus. The green frog (Rana clamitans), pickerel frog (R. palustris),
and banded water snake (Nerodia fasciata) are common permanent residents in this
community.
C. Summary of Anticipated Impacts
Construction of the subject project will have various impacts on the biotic
resources described. Any construction related activities in or near these resources
have the potential to impact biological functions. This section quantifies and qualifies
impacts to the natural resources in terms of area impacted and ecosystems affected.
Temporary and permanent impacts are considered here as well.
Calculated impacts to terrestrial resources reflect the relative abundance of
each community present within the study area. Project construction will result in
clearing and degradation of portions of these communities. Table 4 summarizes
potential quantitative losses to these biotic communities, resulting from project
construction. Estimated impacts are derived using the maximum proposed
construction limit width of 40 m (130 ft). Usually, project construction does not
require the use of the entire construction limit; therefore, actual impacts may be
considerably less.

Total 17.24(42.65) 17.3 (42.75) 17.3(42.8)
Note: Values cited are in hectares (acres).
Plant communities found within the proposed project area serve as nesting
and sheltering habitat for various wildlife. Widening SR 1141 and its associated
improvements will reduce habitat for faunal species, thereby diminishing faunal
numbers. However, since the project area is dominated by disturbed habitats, it is
anticipated that impacts to fauna will be minimal.
Areas modified by construction (but not paved) will become road shoulders
and early successionai'habitat. Reduced habitat will displace some wildlife further
from the roadway while attracting other wildlife by the creation of more early
i
18
successional habitat. Animals temporarily displaced by construction activities will
repopulate areas suitable for the species.
Aquatic communities are sensitive to even small changes in their
environment. Stream channelization, scouring, siltation, sedimentation, and erosion
from construction- related work will effect water quality and biological constituents.
Although direct impacts may be temporary, environmental impacts from these
construction processes may result in long term or irreversible effects. Linear impacts
to Buckhead Creek are estimated to be 27.2 m (89 ft) for south side and symmetrical
widening (recommended alternate) and 7.2 m (24 ft) for north side widening.
Impacts often associated with in-stream construction include increased
2.
%bhb16'
channelization and scouring of the stream bed. In-stream construction alters the
stream substrate and may remove streamside vegetation at the site. Disturbances to
the substrate will produce siltation, which clogs the gills and/or feeding mechanisms
of benthic organisms (sessile filter-feeders and deposit-feeders), fish, and amphibian
species. The stream substrate can also be covered by excessive amounts of sediment,
thereby altering habitat for benthic organisms. These organisms are slow to recover
or repopulate a stream
The removal of streamside vegetation and placement of fill material at the
construction site alters the terrain. Alterations of the streambank enhances the
likelihood of erosion and sedimentation. Erosion and sedimentation carry soils, toxic
compounds, and other materials into aquatic communities at the construction site.
These processes magnify turbidity and can cause the formation of sandbars at the site
and downstream, thereby altering water flow and the growth of vegetation.
Streamside alterations also lead to more direct sunlight penetration and to elevations
of water temperatures which may impact many species. Revegetation stabilizes and
holds the soil, thereby mitigating these processes.
Threatened and Endanered Species
a. Rare and Protected Species
Some populations of fauna and flora have been in, or are in, the process of
decline either due to natural forces or their inability to coexist with human activities.
Federal law (under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended) requires that any action, likely to adversely affect a species classified as
federally-protected, be subject to review by the Fish and Wildlife (FWS). Other
species may receive additional protection under separate state laws.
b. Federally Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered (E),
Threatened (T), Proposed Endangered (PE) and Proposed Threatened (PT) are
protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended. As of November 4, 1997, the FWS lists the following
19
federally-protected species for Cumberland County (see Table 5).. A brief description
of each species' characteristics and habitat follows.

Picoides borealis (red-cockaded woodpecker) Endangered
Family: Picidae
Date Listed: 10 October 1970
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 RCW 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 260 years old and are contiguous with pine stands at least 30 years of age.
The foraging 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 (12.0-100.0 feet) above the ground and average 9.1- 15.7 m
(30.0-50.0 feet) high. They can be identified by a large encrustation of running sap
that surrounds the tree. The RCW lays its eggs in April, May, and June; the eggs
hatch approximately 38 days later.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION NO EFFECT
20
Suitable habitat in the form of open old growth stands of southern pines
does not exist within the project area. The project area is composed of highly
developed/urbanized areas. A review of the NC Natural Heritage Program data base
of rare species and unique habitats revealed that no known occurrences of the red-
cockaded woodpecker within 4.8 km (3.0 mi) of the project area. Therefore, project
construction will not affect the red-cockaded woodpecker.
Lindera melissifolia (pondberry) Endangered
Family: Lauraceae
Federally Listed: 31 July 1986
Flowers Present: March - early April
Pondberry is a deciduous, aromatic shrub that has a distinct sassafras-like
odor. Leaves in the pondberry are arranged alternately, have rounded bases, and
droop downward. It has small pale yellow flowers that appear in early spring before
the leaves. The fruit, which matures in August or September, is a bright red drupe.
This plant grows in lowland habitats with hydric soils. These sites are
generally flooded at some time during the growing season. It is associated with the
margins of sinks, ponds, and other like depressions. The soils present are sandy with
a high peat content in the subsurface. Areas inhabited by this species show signs of
past fire maintenance and now have shrubby conditions. The plants generally grow in
shady areas but may also be found in areas that receive full sunlight.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION NO EFFECT
Suitable habitat for pondberry exists in the coastal plain small stream
swamp (CPSSS) community. A plant by plant survey for pondberry was conducted
by NCDOT biologist Bruce O. Ellis on 02 October 1996, within the project limits of
the CPSSS. No Lindera spp. was observed during the survey. Additionally, the N.C.
Natural Heritage Program data base of rare species and unique habitats was reviewed,
and revealed no listing of pondberry within the project boundaries. Therefore, project
construction will not affect pondberry.
Lysimachia asperulaefolia (rough-leaved loosestrife) Endangered
Family: Primulaceae
Federally Listed: 12 June 1987
Flowers Present: June
Rough-leaved loosestrife is a perennial herb having slender stems and
whorled leaves. This herb has showy yellow flowers which usually occur in threes or
fours. Fruits are present from July through October.
21
Rough-leaved loosestrife is endemic to the coastal plain and sandhills of
North and South Carolina. This species occurs in the ecotones or-edges between
longleaf pine uplands and pond pine pocosins (areas of dense shrub and vine growth
usually on a wet, peat, poorly drained soil), on moist to seasonally saturated sands and
on shallow organic soils overlaying sand. It has also been found to occur on deep
peat in the low shrub community of large Carolina bays (shallow, elliptical, poorly
drained depressions of unknown origins). The areas it occurs in are fire maintained.
Rough-leaved loosestrife rarely occurs in association with hardwood stands and
prefers acidic soils.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION
NO EFFECT
Suitable habitat for rough-leaved loosestrife exists along the edge of the
coastal plain small stream swamp (CPSSS). A known population of rough-leaved
loosestrife was examined on 02 October, 1996 to observe the plant's vegetative state
during this time of year. The plants in the known population were readily identifiable
through vegetative characteristics. A plant by plant survey for rough-leaved
loosestrife was conducted by NCDOT biologist Bruce O. Ellis on 02 October 1996
within the CPSSS community. No rough-leaved loosestrife was observed during this
investigation. Additionally, a review of the NC Natural Heritage Program database of
rare species and unique habitats revealed no listing of rough-leaved loosestrife within
the project area. Therefore, project construction will not affect rough-leaved
loosestrife.
Schwalbea americana (American chaffseed) Endangered
Family: Scrophulariaceae
Federally Listed: October 1991
Flowers Present: late May-early June
The American chaffseed is an erect herb whose stems branch only at the
base (if at all). The entire plant is pubescent, with upwardly curving hairs. The
narrow leaves are alternate, lance-shaped to elliptic and stalkless. The leaves are
three veined and become progressively smaller towards the top. It bears solitary
flowers in the axils of the upper most leaves. The purplish-yellow flowers are
arranged into racemes. The fruits are a long narrow capsule, enclosed in a loose-
fitting sack-like structure.
American chaffseed occurs in open, moist pine flatwoods, fire maintained
savannas, ecotonal areas between peat wetlands, and open grass-sedge systems. Soils
are generally sandy, acidic, and seasonally moist to dry. Fire is important in the
maintenance of open habitat for the American chaffseed.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION NO EFFECT
22
Suitable habitat for American chaffseed, in the form of open, moist pine
flatwoods, fire maintained savannas, ecotonal areas between peat wetlands, and open
grass-sedge systems does not exist within the project study area. Additionally, a
review of the NC Natural Heritage Program database of rare species and unique
habitats revealed no listing of American chaffseed within the project area. Therefore,
project construction will not affect American chaffseed.
Isotria medeoloides (small-whorled pogonia) Endangered
Family: Orchidaceae
Federally Listed: 10 September 1982
Flowers Present: mid May-mid June
Small-whorled pogonia is a perennial orchid having long hairy roots and a
hollow stem. Stems terminate in a whorl of five or six light green, elliptical leaves
that are somewhat pointed. One or two light green flowers are produced at the end of
the stem. Flowers of small-whorled pogonia have short sepals.
The small-whorled pogonia grows in "second growth deciduous" or
deciduous-coniferous forests, with an open canopy, open shrub layer, and sparse herb
layer. It prefers acidic soils. Flowering is inhibited in areas where there is relatively
high shrub coverage or high sapling density.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION
NO EFFECT
. Suitable habitat for small-whorled pogonia in the form of "second growth
deciduous" or deciduous-coniferous forests does not exist within the project area.
Additionally, a review of the NC Natural Heritage Program database of rare species
and unique habitats revealed no listing of small-whorled pogonia within the project
area. Therefore, project construction will not affect the small-whorled pogonia.
Rhus michauxii (Michaux's sumac) Endangered
Family: Anacardiaceae
Federally Listed: 28 September, 1989
Flowers Present: June
Michaux's sumac is a densely pubescent rhizomatous shrub. The bases of
the leaves are rounded and their edges are simply or doubly serrate. The flowers of'.
Michaux's sumac are greenish to white in color. Fruits, which develop from August
to September on female plants, are red densely short-pubescent drupe.
This plant occurs in rocky or sandy open woods. Michaux's sumac is
dependent on some sort of disturbance to maintain the openness of its habitat. It
usually grows in association with basic soils and occurs on sand sandy loams.
23
Michaux's sumac grows only in open habitat where it can get full sunlight.
Michaux's sumac does not compete well with other species, such-as Japanese
honeysuckle, with which it is often associated.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION
NO EFFECT
On 6 June 1997, NCDOT biologists conducted a plant by plant survey for
Michaux's sumac within the project study area. No Michaux's sumac was observed
as a result of this survey. Additionally, the N.C. Natural Heritage Program database
of rare species an d unique habitats was reviewed and contained no listing of
Michuax's sumac within the project study area. Therefore, project construction will
not affect Michaux's sumac.
Neonympha mitchellii francisci (Saint Francis' satyr) Endangered
Family: Nymphalidae
Federally Listed: Emergency listed April 18, 1994
The Saint Francis' satyr is a small, dark brown butterfly with conspicuous
eyespots on the lower wing surface of the fore and hind legs. The eyespots are round
to oval shaped with a dark maroon brown center and a straw yellow border. These
spots are accentuated with two bright orange bands along the posterior wings and by
two darker brown bands along the central portion of each wing.
The Saint Francis' satyr is known to inhabit wide, wet meadows dominated
by sedges and other wetland graminoids. These wetlands are often relicts of beaver
activity and are boggy areas that are acidic and ephemeral. Succession of these sites
often leads to either a pocosin or swamp dominated forest. The larval host of the
Saint Francis' satyr is thought to be grasses, sedges and rushes.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION
NO EFFECT
Suitable habitat for the Saint Francis' satyr, in the form of wet meadows
dominated by sedges and other wetland graminoids, is not present within the project
area. Additionally, a review of the NC Natural Heritage Program database of rare
species and unique habitats revealed no listing of Saint Francis' satyr within the
project area. Therefore, project construction will not affect Saint Francis' satyr.
Federal Species of Concern and State Listed Species
There are 27 Federal Species of Concern (FSC) listed for Cumberland
County. Federal Species of Concern are not afforded federal protection under the
ESA and are not subject to any of its provisions, including Section 7, until they are
formally proposed or listed as Threatened or Endangered. Federal Species of Concern
are defined as those species which may or may not be listed in the future. These
24
species were formerly candidate species, or species under consideration for listing for
which there was insufficient information to support a listing of Endangered,
Threatened, Proposed Endangered, and Proposed Threatened. Organisms which are
listed as Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Significantly Rare (SR) or Special Concern
(SC) by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) list of rare plant and
animal species are afforded state protection under the State Endangered Species Act
and the North Carolina Plant Protection and Conservation Act of 1979.
Table 6 lists Federal Species of Concern and State listed species, the
species' state status, and the existence of suitable habitat for each species in the study
area. This species list is provided for information purposes, as the status of these

3. Water Resources
This section contains information concerning those water resources likely to be
impacted by the project. Water resource information encompasses physical aspects of the
resource, its relationship to major water systems, Best Usage Standards, and water quality of
the resources. Probable impacts to these water bodies are also discussed, as are means to
minimize impacts.
a. Waters Impacted and Characteristics
Buckhead Creek is the only water resource that will be impacted within the
4-
project area (see Figure 3). Buckhead Creek is located in the Upper Cape Fear
Watershed (sub basin 03-06-15) of the Cape Fear River drainage system. The creek
flows in a southerly direction until it outfalls into Hope Mills Lake 3.7 km (2.3 mi)
downstream (south) of the project area. Buckhead Creek becomes channelized once
again downstream of the Hope Mills Lake Dam and proceeds in an easterly direction
for another 2.9 km (1.8 mi) until it merges with Rockfish Creek. Rockfish Creek then
flows eastward to has its confluence with the Cape Fear River approximately 11.0 km
(6.6 mi) further downstream.
SR 1141 crosses Buckhead Creek approximately 1.8 km (1.1 mi) east of
NC 59. The crossing consists of three corrugated metal pipes, each with an estimated
diameter of 1.8 m (6.0 ft). The creek channel is approximately is 3.7 m (12.0 ft) wide
just south of SR 1141, and it is approximately 1.2 m (4.0 ft) deep at this location. The
creek channel narrows outside of the project boundaries, water depths become
shallower, and the velocity increases. The substrate is composed of gravel, sand, and
silt.
b. Best Usage Classification
Streams have been assigned a best usage classification by the Division
Environmental Management (DEM, [now known as the Division of Water Quality]).
The classification of Buckhead Creek (index no. 18-31-24-6) is C. The C
classification denotes freshwaters suitable for aquatic life propagation and survival,
fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture. Neither High Quality Waters
• (HQW), Water Supplies (WS-I: undeveloped watersheds, or WS-II: predominately
undeveloped watersheds), nor Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) occur within 1.6
km (1.0 mile) of project study area.
26
Water Quality
The waters of Buckhead Creek are considered blackwaters, where
dissolved inorganic and organic compounds impart a brown-orange coloration to the
water. Water quality characteristics associated with blackwaters are pH levels below
neutral (less than 7.0) and hardness concentrations below 50 parts per million (ppm).
Blackwaters are usually considered to be less biologically productive than water
resources that have higher pH values and hardness concentrations greater than 50
ppm.
The Benthic Macroinvertebrate Ambient Network (BMAN) is managed by
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and is part of an ongoing ambient water quality
monitoring program which addresses long term trends in water quality. The program
assesses water quality by sampling for benthic macroinvertebrate organisms at fixed
monitoring sites. Many benthic macroinvertebrates have stages in their life cycle that
can last from six months to a year; therefore, the adverse effects of a toxic spill will
not be overcome until the next generation. Different taxa of macroinvertebrates have
different tolerances to pollution; therefore, long term changes in water quality
conditions can be identified by population shifts from pollution sensitive to pollution
tolerant organisms (and vice versa). Overall, the species present, the population
diversity, and the biomass are reflections of long term water quality conditions.
No BMAN stations are situated on Buckhead Creek; however, a BMAN
station is located within the project region on Rockfish Creek at US 301 Business.
The station is situated a short distance below the confluence of Buckhead Creek and
Rockfish Creek. The station is located approximately 3.2 km (2.0 mi) downstream of
the project study area. This station was sampled once in July 1983 and received a
bioclassification of Good-Fair.
Point source dischargers located throughout North Carolina are permitted
through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program.
Any discharger is required to register for a permit. No point source dischargers are
listed for Buckhead Creek or within the project vicinity.
Non-point source discharge refers to runoff that enters surface waters
through stormwater or snowmelt (DEM, 1995). In urban areas, high concentrations
of impervious surfaces greatly increases runoff rates and volumes. Stormwater
collection systems then transport runoff waters quickly to receiving streams with little
or no filtering by vegetated surfaces (DEM, 1995). Contaminants originating from
urban development include: lawn care products, such as pesticides and fertilizers;
automobile-related pollutants that include lubricants, abraded tire, and brake linings;
lawn and household wastes; and fecal coliform bacteria from animals and failing
septic systems. The high velocity and volumes of runoff can also cause increased
erosion of stream charnels through physical scouring of the stream banks and flood
plain.
27
d. Summary of Anticipated Impacts
Construction of the proposed project will impact water resource:
more of the following processes: bridge and causeway widening, box culv
pipe construction, and box culvert and pipe extension. Construction activit
likely to alter and/or interrupt stream flows and water levels at each aquatic__ - -
disruption of the stream reduces stream flow downstream of the project. Temporary
diversions of water flow will raise the water level upstream from the project and
lower the water level downstream of the project.
Estimated linear impacts are derived using entire maximum proposed
construction limit of 40 in (130 ft). Linear impacts to Buckhead Creek are estimated
to be 27.2 m (89 ft) for south-side widening and the recommended symmetrical
widening, and 7.2 m (24 ft) for north-side widening. Usually, project construction
does not require the entire construction limit; therefore, actual impacts may be
considerably less.
Project construction may result in the following impacts to surface waters:
1. Increased sedimentation and siltation from construction and/or erosion.
2. Changes in light incidence and water clarity due to increased sedimentation and
vegetation removal.
3. Alteration of water levels and flows due to interruptions and/additions to surface
and ground water flow from construction.
4. Changes in water temperature due to removal of streamside vegetation.
5. Increased nutrient loading during construction via runoff from exposed areas.
6. Increased concentration of toxic compounds from highway runoff, construction,
toxic spills, and increased vehicular use.
Precautions will be taken to minimize impacts to water resources in the study
area. NCDOT's Best Management Practices (BMP's) for the Protection of Surface
Waters will be strictly enforced during the construction stage of the project.
Provisions to preclude contamination by toxic substances during the construction
interval will also be strictly enforced.

4. Jurisdictional Wetlands
This section provides descriptions, inventories, and impact analysis pertinent to two
important issues--Waters of the United States and rare and protected species.
a. Waters of the United States
Surface waters and wetlands fall under the broad category of "Waters
United States," as defined in Section 33 of the Code of Federal Register (CRF) F
28
28.3. Wetlands, defined in 33 CFR 328.3, are those areas that are inundated or
saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support,
and under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically
adapted to life in saturated conditions. Any action that proposes to place fill into
these areas falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE)
under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344).
b. Characteristics of Wetlands and Surface Waters
Potential wetland communities were investigated pursuant to the 1987
"Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual". The three parameter approach is
used where hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and prescribed hydrologic
characteristics must all be present for an area to be considered a wetland.
One jurisdictional wetland was observed within the project area (see
Figures 2 and 3). This wetland is the coastal plain small stream swamp. Vegetation
for this wetland system is described in Section IV.C. Lb of this report. The soil phase
contained within this wetland is Johnston loam, which is listed as hydric on National
and County lists of hydric soils. Soil core samples revealed a soil with a Munsell
color notation of 10 YR 3/1. This soil color is indicative of hydric conditions.
Hydrological characteristics of this wetland include evidence of seasonal inundation
and saturation to the soil surface.
Buckhead Creek is also considered a jurisdictional surface water. Physical
and biological conditions of this water resource are presented in Sections IV.C. Lb
and IV.C.3.a of this report.
C. Summary of Anticipated Impacts to Wetlands
Buckhead Creek is the only wetland are located within the project limits.
Symmetrical widening (recommended alternative) will require approximately 0.14 ha
(0.35 acre) of this wetland to be filled. Northside widening would require
approximately 0.10 ha (0.25 acre) of wetlands to be filled. Southside widening
would have the greatest impact on the wetland , requiring approximately 0.20 ha (0.50
acre) to be filled. A primary concern is the large amount of fill material that will be
necessary to widen this crossing and bring it up to the existing roadway grade. Due to
the elevation difference between the current roadway and the subject wetlands, the fill
line for the proposed widening is expected to extend into these wetlands.
Minimization of impacts to wetlands will be studied during final design.
As explained in Section III.E of this report, avoiding impacts to this wetland
would increase the impact to residential and commercial properties, thereby
increasing project costs. If northside widening were done, impacts to the wetlands
would be minimized; however, impacts to residential and commercial properties in
the vicinity of Buckhead Creek would increase significantly. If southside widening
were done right of way impacts would be reduced; however, impacts to the wetland
would be the most severe of the three alternatives. A compromise between the
29
impacts to wetlands and the number of relocations is reached if symmetrical
is done. Under the recommended symmetrical widening alternative, Q 14 ha
acre) of wetlands will be impacted and right of way impacts are minimized i
Buckhead Creek, making this alternative the most favorable.
d. 'ti ati
The COE has adopted, through the Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ), a wetland mitigation policy which embraces the concept of "no net loss of
wetlands" and sequencing. The purpose of this policy is to restore and maintain the
chemical, biological, and physical integrity of Waters of the United States,
specifically wetlands. Mitigation of wetland impacts has been defined by the CEQ to
include: avoiding impacts (to wetlands), minimizing impacts, rectifying impacts,
reducing impacts over time, and compensating for impacts (40 CFR 1508.20). Each
of these three aspects (avoidance, minimization, and compensatory mitigation) must
be considered sequentially.
e. Avoidance
Avoidance mitigation examines all appropriate and practicable possibilities
of averting impacts to Waters of the United States. According to a 1990
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) and the COE, in determining "appropriate and practicable" measures to offset
unavoidable impacts, such measures should be appropriate to the scope and degree of
those impacts and practicable in terms of cost, existing technology, and logistics in
light of overall project purposes. Wetland impacts could be avoided by the selection
of a north side widening alternative at the Buckhead Creek wetland which maintains
the existing south side fill slope and confines construction activities to within the
boundaries of the existing road shoulder (maintained/disturbed community) on the
south side of SR 1141. However, by doing this, additional impacts to residences
would occur along with increased project costs. Symmetrical widening is the
recommended alternative because it provides a balance between the amount of
impacted wetlands and the number of relocatees.
f. Minimization
Minimization includes the examination of appropriate and practicable steps
to reduce the adverse impacts to Waters of the United States. Implementation of
these steps will be required through project modifications and permit conditions.
Minimization typically focuses on decreasing the footprint of the proposed project
through the reduction of median widths, ROW widths, fill slopes and/or road shoulder
widths. Other practical mechanisms to minimize impacts to Waters of the United
States crossed by the proposed project include: strict enforcement of sedimentation
control BMP's for the protection of surface waters during the entire life of the project;
reduction of clearing and grubbing activity; reduction/elimination of direct discharge
into streams; reduction of runoff velocity; re-establishment of vegetation on exposed
areas; judicious pesticide and herbicide usage; minimization of "in-stream" activity;
30
litter/debris control. The use of any number of these methods will be effective in
cing water quality degradation resulting from project construction.
Compensatory Mitigation
Compensatory mitigation is not normally considered until anticipated
yacts to Waters of the United States have been avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent possible. It is recognized that "no net loss of wetlands" functions
and values may not be achieved in each and every permit action. Appropriate and
practicable compensatory mitigation is required for unavoidable adverse impacts
which remain after all appropriate and practicable minimization has been required.
Compensatory actions often include restoration, creation, and enhancement of Waters
of the United States. Such actions should be undertaken in areas adjacent to or
contiguous to the discharge site.
Permits authorized under the Nationwide Permit system usually do not
require compensatory mitigation according to the 1989 Memorandum of Agreement
between the EPA and the COE.
5. Permits
Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and surface waters are anticipated. In accordance
with provisions of section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), a permit will be
required from the COE for the discharge of dredged or fill material into "Waters of the
United States."
Based on field estimations (see Figure 3), a Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33 CFR
330.5(a) (14) is likely to be applicable for jurisdictional surface waters found in the project
study area. This. permit authorizes construction provided the following conditions are met:
(1) the width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary. for the actual crossing;
(2) the fill placed in Water of the United States is limited to a filled area of no more than 0.1
hectares (1/3 acre);
(3) no more than a total of 61 m (200 linear ft) of the fill for the roadway can occur in special
aquatic sites, including wetlands;
(4) the crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent the restriction of, and
to withstand, expected high flows and tidal flows and movement of aquatic organisms, .
and;
(5) the crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and permanent, is part of a
single and complete project for crossing of a Water of the United States.
31
If more than 0.33 acre of wetlands are impacted by this project and-a Section 404
Nationwide Permit 33 CFR 330.5(a) (14) is not applicable then another Nationwide Permit or
an Individual Permit will be investigated based on the total wetland impacts.
A North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Section 401 Water Quality
General Certification is required prior to the issuance of the Section 404 Nationwide 414.
Section 401 Certification allows surface waters to be temporarily impacted for the duration of
the construction or other land manipulations.
6. 5Qi15
Two major soil phases occur within project boundaries: Wargram-Urban-Land-
Complex and Lakeland-Urban-Land-Complex. The Wargram-Urban-Land-Complex is the
dominant soil phase, occupying nearly 85 per cent of the project area. The Lakeland-Urban-
Land-Complex is located in the eastern portion of the project area. Additionally, one small
area of Johnston loam is associated with the flood plain of Buckhead Creek. Urban land is
described by the SCS (1984) as soils that are "covered with streets, buildings, parking lots,
railroad yards and airports. The natural soils were greatly altered by cutting, filling, grading,
and shaping during the process of urbanization. The original landscape, topography, and
commonly the drainage pattern have been changed."
Due to the presence of impermeable surfaces, surface runoff is high and erosion is a
hazard with unprotected soils. Generally, urban land comprises 30 to 40 per cent of these
soil complexes. The higher densities of residential and urban development in proximity to
the roadway suggest that urban land is present in a proportionally higher percentage within
the project area.
Wargram loamy sand, in its undisturbed state, is well drained and has moderately
rapid permeability. Undisturbed Lakeland sand is excessively drained and has rapid
permeability. Both soils are well suited to most urban and recreational uses. These soils, in
their urban complex phase, have not been assigned woodland suitability groups. Wargram
and Lakeland soils are not listed as hydric on county or national lists of hydric soils.
Johnston loam is a nearly level very poorly drained soil that occurs in major
drainageways. Within the project study area, it is present within the Buckhead Creek flood
plain. North (upstream) of SR 1141, the Buckhead Creek flood plain has been significantly
disturbed through urban development. However, south (downstream) of SR 1141, the
Buckhead Creek flood plain has not been significantly disturbed and remains relatively
intact. Johnston loam is listed as a hydric soil on county and national lists of hydric soils.
Soil core samples taken within the Buckhead Creek drainageway (south of SR 1141)
revealed soils with a silty texture and exhibited a Munsell soil color notation of 10 YR 3/1.
The low chroma color is a hydric soil indicator, as described in the COE Wetland Delineation
Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987). Woodland productivity of Johnston loam is rated
as very high, with wetness as'the major limitation (SCS, 1984).
32
7. Flood Hazard Evaluation
Cumberland County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Regular
Program. The Buckhead Creek crossing is in a designated flood hazard zone, and is included
in the detailed flood study, having established regulatory floodplain and floodway limits with
corresponding water surface elevations. The established limits of the 100-year floodplain are
shown in Figure 7; however, the floodway limits are not shown. No buildings were observed
in the vicinity of the stream crossing with floor elevations below the 100-year flood level.
The proposed reinforced concrete box culvert will have improved conveyance over that of the
existing pipes; therefore, the backwater from the proposed culvert will not have a significant
adverse affect on the existing floodplain, nor on the associated flood hazard. The reduction
in backwater as a result of the proposed replacement with a culvert may require a floodway
modification.
The Buckhead Creek crossing is below headwaters, but it is anticipated that the
crossing will qualify as a minor road crossing, and as such, an individual Section 404 permit
will not be required. Based on recent field review, it is anticipated that the proposed culvert
can be accommodated without major modifications or realignment of the stream. The project
is not in a water supply watershed, nor a high quality water zone; therefore, erosion and
sedimentation will be controlled through the appropriate specification, installation, and
maintenance of standard erosion and sedimentation control measures. Existing drainage
patterns will be maintained to the extent practicable. Groundwater resources will not be
affected, as little, if any, excavation will be required.
8. Stream Modification
Based on field reviews, it is anticipated that no major modification or realignment of
Buckhead Creek will be required on this project.

North Carolina Executive Order Number 96, Conservation of Prime Agricultural and
Forest Lands, requires all state agencies to minimize the impact of their actions on prime and
important farmland soils. Land which is located in an urban area and is designated for urban
development by the local governing body is exempt from this requirement. The area of the
proposed roadway extension meets both thresholds, as it is in an urban area, virtually
surrounded by suburban land uses, and is zoned for residential development. Therefore, no
further consideration of impacts to farmland soils is required.
10. Highway Traffic Noise/Construction Noise Analysis
This analysis was performed to determine the effect of the proposed widening of SR 1141
(Cumberland Road) from NC 59 to SR 1233 (Yale Street) in Cumberland County on noise levels in
the immediate project area. This investigation includes an inventory of existing noise sensitive land
uses and a field survey of ambient (existing) noise levels in the study area. It also includes a
comparison of the predicted noise levels and the ambient noise levels to determine if traffic noise
impacts can be expected resulting from the proposed project. Traffic noise impacts are determined
from the current procedures for the abatement of highway traffic noise and construction noise,
appearing as Part 772 of Title'23 of the Code of Federal Regulations. If traffic noise impacts are
predicted, examination and evaluation of alternative noise abatement measures for reducing or
eliminating the noise impacts must be considered.
33
a. Characteristics of Noise - - --
Noise is basically defined as unwanted sound. It is emitted from many sources,
including airplanes, factories, railroads, power generation plants, and highway vehicles.
Highway noise, or traffic noise, is usually a composite of noises from engine exhaust, drive
train, and tire-roadway interaction.
The magnitude of noise is usually described by its sound pressure. Since the range of
sound pressure varies greatly, a logarithmic scale is used to relate sound pressures to some
common reference level, usually the decibel (dB). Sound pressures described in decibels are
called sound pressure levels and are often defined in terms of frequency weighted scales (A, B,
C, or D).
The weighted-A decibel scale is used almost exclusively in vehicle noise
measurements because it places the most emphasis on the frequency range to which the human
ear is most sensitive (1,000-6,000 Hertz). Sound levels measured using a weighted-A decibel
scale are often expressed as dBA. Throughout this report, all noise levels will be expressed in
dBA's. Several examples of noise pressure levels in dBA are listed in Appendix 2, Table N 1
(see page A2-2).
Review of Table N 1 indicates that most individuals in urbanized areas are
exposed to fairly high noise levels from many sources as they go about their daily activities.
The degree of disturbance or annoyance of unwanted sound depends essentially on three
things:
1) The amount and nature of the intruding noise.
2) The relationship between the background noise and the intruding noise.
3) The type of activity occurring when the noise is heard.
In considering the first of these three factors, it is important to note that individuals
have different sensitivity to noise. Loud noises bother some more than others and some
individuals become upset if an unwanted noise persists. The time patterns of noise also enter
into an individual's judgment of whether or not a noise is offensive. For example, noises
occurring during sleeping hours are usually considered to be more offensive than the same
noises in the daytime.
With regard to the second factor, individuals tend to judge the annoyance of an
unwanted noise in terms of its relationship to noise from other sources (background noise).
The blowing of a car horn at night when background noise levels are approximately 45 dBA
would generally be more objectionable than the blowing of a car horn in the afternoon when
background noises might be 55 dBA.
The third factor is related to the interference of noise with activities of individuals.
In a 60 dBA environment, normal conversation would be possible, while sleep might be
difficult. Work activities requiring high levels of concentration may be interrupted by loud
noises, while activities requiring manual effort may not be interrupted to the same degree.
Over time, particularly if the noises occur at predicted intervals and are expected,
individuals tend to accept the noises which intrude into their lives. Attempts have been made
to regulate many of these types of noises including airplane noise, factory noise, railroad noise,
and highway traffic noise. In relation to highway traffic noise, methods of analysis and control
have developed rapidly over the past few years.
34
b. Noise Abatement Criteria
In order to determine whether highway noise levels are or are..not compatible with
various land uses, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has developed noise
abatement criteria (NAC) and procedures to be used in the planning and design of highways.
These abatement criteria and procedures are set forth in the aforementioned Federal reference
(Title 23 CFR Part 772). A summary of the noise abatement criteria for various land uses is
presented in Appendix 2, Table N2 (see page A2-3). The Leq, or equivalent sound level, is
the level of constant sound which, in a given situation and time period, has the same energy as
does time varying sound. In other words, the fluctuating sound levels of traffic noise are
represented in terms of a steady noise level with the same energy content.
C. Ambient Noise Levels
Ambient noise measurements were taken in the vicinity of the project to
determine the existing background noise levels. The purpose of this noise level
information was to quantify the existing acoustic environment and to provide a base
for assessing the impact of noise level increases. The existing Leq noise levels in the
project area as measured at 15 meters from the roadway ranged from 62.4 dBA to
66.4 dBA. The ambient measurement sites and measured exterior Leq noise levels
are presented in Table N3 (see page A2-4) and Figure N1 (see page A2-1).
The existing roadway and traffic conditions were used with the most current
traffic noise prediction model in order to calculate existing noise levels for
comparison with noise levels actually measured. The calculated existing noise levels
averaged approximately 3 dBA higher than the measured noise levels for the locations
where noise measurements were obtained. Differences in dBA levels can be
attributed to "bunching" of vehicles, low traffic volumes, and actual vehicle speeds
versus the computer's "evenly-spaced" vehicles and single vehicular speed.
d. Procedure for Predictioe Future Noise Level
In general, the traffic situation is composed of a large number of variables which
describe different cars driving at different speeds through a continual changing highway
configuration and surrounding terrain. Due to the complexity of the problem, certain
assumptions and simplifications must be made to predict highway traffic noise.
The procedure used to predict future noise levels in this study was the Noise Barrier
Cost Reduction Procedure, STAMINA 2.0 and OPTIMA (revised March, 1983). The BCR
(Barrier Cost Reduction) procedure is based upon the FHWA Highway Traffic Noise
Prediction Model (FHWA-RD-77-108). The BCR traffic noise prediction model uses the
number and type of vehicles on the planned roadway, their speeds, the physical characteristics
of the road (curves, hills, depressed, elevated, etc.), receptor location and height, and, if
applicable, barrier type, barrier ground elevation, and barrier top elevation.
In this regard, it is to be noted that only preliminary alignment was available for use
in this noise analysis. The project proposes to widen the existing two lanes of SR 1141 to a
five-lane curb and gutter section. Only those existing natural or man-made barriers were
included in setting up the model. The roadway sections and proposed intersections were
assumed to be flat and at-grade. Thus, this analysis represents the "worst- case" topographical
conditions. The noise predictions made in this report are highway-related noise predictions for
the traffic conditions during the year being analyzed.
Peak hour design and level-of-service (LOS) C volumes were compared, and the
volumes resulting in the noisiest conditions were used with the proposed posted speed limits.
35
Hence, during all other time periods, the noise levels will be no,greater than those indicated in
this report. y
The STAMINA 2.0 computer model was utilized in order to determine the number
of land uses (by type) which would be impacted during the peak hour of the design year 2018.
A land use is considered to be impacted when exposed to noise levels approaching or
exceeding the FHWA noise abatement criteria and/or predicted to sustain a substantial noise
increase. The basic approach was to select receptor locations such as 7.5, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240,
and 480 meters from the center of the near traffic lane (adaptable to both sides of the roadway).
The location of these receptors were determined by the changes in projected traffic volumes
and/or the posted speed limits along the proposed project. The result of this procedure was a
grid of receptor points along the project. Using this grid, noise levels were calculated for each
identified receptor.
The Leq traffic noise exposures associated with this project are listed in Appendix 2,
Tables N4.1, N4.2, and N4.3 (see pages A2-5 through A2-22). Information included in these
tables consists of listings of all receptors in close proximity to the project, their ambient and
predicted noise levels, and the estimated noise level increase for each.
e. Traffic Noise Impact Analvsis
Traffic noise impacts occur when the predicted traffic noise levels either
approach or exceed the FHWA noise abatement criteria (with "approach" meaning
within 1 dBA of the Table N2 value) or substantially exceed the existing noise levels.
The NCDOT definition of substantial increase is shown in the lower portion of Table
N2 (see page A2-3). Consideration for noise abatement measures must be given to
receptors which fall in either category.
The maximum number of receptors in each activity category that are
predicted to become impacted by future traffic noise is shown in Tables N5.1, N5.2,
and N5.3 (see pages A2-23 through A2-25), with Table N5.1 representing the
recommended alternative (symmetrical widening). These are noted in terms of those
receptors expected to experience traffic noise impacts by approaching or exceeding
the FHWA NAC or by a substantial increase in exterior noise levels. Under Title 23
CFR Part 772, there are 123 impacted receptors along Alternative 1 (Symmetrical
Widening-recommended alternative), 135 impacted receptors along Alternative 2
(Northside Widening), and 136 impacted receptors along Alternative 3 (Southside
Widening) due to highway traffic noise in the project area. The maximum extent of
the 72 and 67 dBA noise level contours are 21 and 39 meters, respectively, from the
center of the proposed roadway. This information should assist local authorities in
exercising land use control over the remaining undeveloped lands adjacent to the
roadway within local jurisdiction. For example, with the proper information on noise,
the local authorities can prevent further development of incompatible activities and
land uses with the predicted noise levels of an adjacent highway.
Tables N6.1, N6.2, and N6.3 (see pages A2-23 through A2-25) indicate the
exterior traffic noise level increases for the identified receptors in each roadway
section, with Table N6.1 representing the recommended alternate (symmetrical
widening). No receptors along Alternative 1 (symmetrical widening-recommended
alternative), 17 receptors along Alternative 2 (Northside widening), and 23 receptors
along Alternative 3 (Southside widening) are predicted to be impacted by a
substantial increase in exterior noise levels. The predicted noise level increases for
this project range from +4 to +11 dBA. When real-life noises are heard, it is possible
barely to detect noise level changes of 2-3 dBA. A 5 dBA change is more readily
noticeable. A 10 dBA change is judged by most people as a doubling or a halving of
the loudness of the sound.
36
f. Traffic Noise Abatement Measures
If traffic noise impacts are predicted, examination and evaluation of
alternative noise abatement measures for reducing or eliminating the noise impacts
must be considered. Consideration for noise abatement measures must be given to all
impacted receptors. There are 123 impacted receptors along Alternative 1 (the
recommended alternate), 135 impacted receptors along Alternative 2 (Northside
widening), and 136 impacted receptors along Alternative 3 (Southside widening) due
to highway traffic noise in the project area. Noise abatement measures are discussed
below.
Highway Alignment
Highway alignment selection involves the horizontal or vertical orientation
of the proposed improvements in such a way as to minimize impacts and costs.
The selection of alternative alignments for noise abatement purposes must consider
the balance between noise impacts and other engineering and environmental
parameters. For noise abatement, horizontal alignment selection is primarily a
matter of sitting the roadway at a sufficient distance from noise sensitive areas.
Changing the highway alignment is not a viable alternative for noise abatement for
this project and is not recommended.
Traffic System Management Measures
Traffic management measures which limit vehicle type, speed, volume, and
time of operations are often effective noise abatement measures. For this project,
traffic management measures are not considered appropriate for noise abatement
due to their effect on the capacity and level-of-service on the proposed roadway
and are not recommended.
Noise Barriers
Physical measures to abate anticipated traffic noise levels can often be
applied with a measurable degree of success by the application of solid mass,
attenuable measures to effectively diffract, absorb, and reflect highway traffic
noise emissions. Solid mass, attenuable measures may include earth berms or
artificial abatement walls.
The project will maintain no control of access, meaning most commercial
establishments and residences will have direct access connections to the proposed
roadway and all intersections will adjoin the project at grade.
For a noise barrier to provide sufficient noise reduction it must be high
enough and long enough to shield the receptor from significant sections of the
highway. Access openings in the barrier severely reduce the noise reduction
provided by the barrier. It then becomes economically unreasonable to construct a
barrier for a small noise reduction. Safety at access openings (driveways, crossing
streets, etc.) due to restricted sight distance is also a concern. Furthermore, to
provide a sufficient reduction, a barrier's length would normally be 8 times the
distance from the barrier to the receptor. For example, a receptor located 15
meters from the barrier would normally require a barrier 120 meters long. An
access opening of 12 meters (10 percent of the area) would limit its noise reduction
to approximately 4 dBA (FUNDAMENTAL AND ABATEMENT OF
HIGHWAY TRAFFIC NOISE, Report No. FHWA-HHI-HEV-73-7976-1,
USDOT, chapter 5, section 3.2, page 5-27).
37
In addition, businesses, churches, and other related establishments located
along a particular highway normally require accessibility and high visibility. Solid
mass, attenuable measures for traffic noise abatement would tend to disallow these
two qualities, and thus, would not be acceptable abatement measures in this case.
For these reasons, noise barriers are not recommended.
g. Do Nothing Alternative"
The traffic noise impacts for the "do nothing" or "no-build" alternative were also
considered. If the proposed widening did not occur, 56 residential receptors would
experience traffic noise impact by approaching or exceeding the FHWA's NAC. Also, the
receptors in the immediate vicinity of the project could anticipate experiencing an increase in
exterior noise levels in the range of +1 to +3 dBA. This small increase to the present noise
level would be barely noticeable to the people working and living in the area. As previously
noted, it is barely possible to detect noise level changes of 2-3 dBA. A 5 dBA change in
noise levels is more readily noticed.
h. on truction Noise
The major construction elements of this project are expected to be earth removal,
hauling, grading, and paving. General construction noise impacts, such as temporary speech
interference for passers-by and those individuals living or working near the project, can be
expected, particularly from paving operations and from the earth moving equipment during
grading operations. However, considering the relatively short-term nature of construction
noise and the limitation of construction to daytime hours, these impacts are not expected to
be substantial. The transmission loss characteristics of nearby natural elements and man-
made structures are believed to be sufficient to moderate the effects of intrusive construction
noise
i. umm
Based on these preliminary studies, traffic noise abatement is not recommended, and
no noise abatement measures are proposed. This evaluation completes the highway traffic
noise requirements of Title 23 CFR Part 772, and unless a major project change develops, no
additional noise reports are required for this project.
11. Air Quality Anal
Air pollution originates from various sources. Emissions from industrial and internal
combustion engines are the most prevalent sources. Other origins of common outdoor air pollution
are solid waste disposal and any form of fire. The impact resulting from highway construction ranges
from intensifying existing air pollution problems to improving the ambient air conditions. The traffic
is the center of concern when determining the impact of a new highway facility or the improvement of
an old highway facility. Motor vehicles emit carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO),
hydrocarbons (HC), particulate matter, sulfur dioxide (S02), and lead (Pb) (listed in order of
decreasing emission rate). Automobiles are considered to be the major source of CO in the project
area. For this reason, most of the analysis presented below is concerned with determining expected
carbon monoxide levels in the vicinity of the project due to traffic flow.
In order to determine the ambient CO concentration for the receptor closest to the highway
project, two concentration components must be used: local and background. The local concentration
is defined as the CO emissions from cars operating on highways in the near vicinity (i.e., distances
within 100 meters) of the receptor location. The background concentration is defined by the North
Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources as "the concentration of a
38
pollutant at a point that is the result of emissions outside the local vicinity; that is, the concentration at
the upwind edge of the local sources." y
In this study, the local concentration was determined by the NCDOT Traffic Noise/Air Quality
Staff using line source computer modeling, and the background concentration was obtained from the
North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources (NCDEHNR). Once the
two concentration components were resolved, they were added together to determine the ambient CO
concentration for the receptor in question and to compare to the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS).
Automobiles are regarded as sources of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. Hydrocarbons and
nitrogen oxides emitted from cars are carried into the atmosphere, where they react with sunlight to
form ozone and nitrogen dioxide. Automotive emissions of HC and NO are expected to decrease in
the future due to the continued installation and maintenance of pollution control devices on new cars.
However, regarding area-wide emissions, these technological improvements maybe offset by the
increasing number of cars on the transportation facilities of the area.
The photochemical reactions that form ozone and nitrogen dioxide require several hours to
occur. For this reason, the peak levels of ozone generally occur 10 to 20 kilometers downwind of the
source of hydrocarbon emissions. Urban areas as a whole are regarded as sources of hydrocarbons,
not individual streets and highways. The emissions of all sources in an urban area mix together in the
atmosphere, and in the presence of sunlight, the mixture reacts to form ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and
other photochemical oxidants. The best example of this type of air pollution is the smog which forms
in Los Angeles, California.
Automobiles are not regarded as significant sources of particulate matter and sulfur dioxide.
Nationwide, highway sources account for less than 7 percent of particulate matter emissions and less
than 2 percent of sulfur dioxide emissions. Particulate matter and sulfur dioxide emissions are
predominantly the result of non-highway sources (e.g., industrial, commercial, and agricultural).
Because emissions of particulate matter and sulfur dioxide from automobiles are very low, there is no
reason to suspect that traffic on the project will cause air quality standards for particulate matter and
sulfur dioxide to be exceeded.
Automobiles without catalytic converters can burn regular gasoline. The burning of regular
gasoline emits lead as a result of regular gasoline containing tetraethyl lead, which is added by
refineries to increase the octane rating of the fuel. Newer cars with catalytic converters burn unleaded
gasoline eliminating lead emissions. Also, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
has required the reduction in the lead content of leaded gasolines. The overall average lead content of
gasoline in 1974 was 0.53 grams per liter. By 1989, this composite average had dropped to 0.003
grams per liter. In the future, lead emissions are expected to decrease as more cars use unleaded fuels
and as the lead content of leaded gasoline is reduced. The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 make
the sale, supply, or transport of leaded gasoline or lead additives unlawful after December 31, 1995.
Because of these reasons, it is not expected that traffic on the proposed project will cause the NAAQS
for lead to be exceeded.
A microscale air quality analysis was performed to determine future CO concentrations resulting
from the proposed highway improvements. "CAL3QHC - A Modeling Methodology For Predicting
Pollutant Concentrations Near Roadway Intersections" was used to predict the CO concentration at the
nearest sensitive receptor to the project.
Inputs into the mathematical model to estimate hourly CO concentrations consisted of a level
roadway under normal conditions with predicted traffic volumes, vehicle emission factors, and worst-
case meteorological parameters. The traffic volumes are based on the annual average daily traffic
projections. The traffic volume used for the CAL3QHC model was the highest volume within any
alternative. Carbon monoxide vehicle emission factors were calculated for the completion year of
39
1995 and the design year of 2020 using the EPApubl oat 1 "Mobile Source Emission Factors" and
the MOBILE 5A mobile source emissions computer
The background CO concentration for the project are a was estimated lo be I.. of Environmental Man-8 arts agemen eNolrthon

Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources essousces indicated that an ambient CO
concentration of 1.8 ppm is suitable for most suburban/rural The worst-case air quality receptor was determined to be receptor #131 at a distance of

Comparison of the predicted CO concentrations with the NAAQS maximum permitted for 1-
hour averaging period := 35 ppm; 8-hour averaging period = 9 ppm) indicates no violation of these
standards. Since the results of the worst-case 1-hour CO analysis is less than 9 ppm, it can be
concluded that the 8-hour CO level donot exceed the standard. See Appendix 3 (pages A3-1
through A3-4) for input data and output.
The project is located in Cumberland County, which has been determined to be in compliance le,
because with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. are?s• ?S ProjeC?t is n51 is not ot antic gated licabo create any adverse

The Geographical Information Service (GIS) was consulted for the project corridor.
The research showed that no regulated or unregulated landfills or dumpsites occur within the
project limits. Based on the field reconnaissance and records search, there should be no
further environmental conflicts which should impact this project.
13. Construction Impacts
To minimize potential adverse effects caused by construction, the following measures,
along with those already mentioned, will be implemented during the construction phase:
a. Waste and debris shall be disposed of in areas that are outside of the right-of-way and
provided by the Contractor, unless otherwise required by the plans or special provision
by the Engineer. Disposal of waste and debris in active public waste or disposal areas
will not be permitted without prior approval by the Engineer. Such approval will not
be permitted when, in the opinion of the Engineer, it will result in excessive siltation or
pollution. In addition, disposal will not be done in wetland areas.
b. Borrow pits and all ditches will be drained insofar as possible to alleviate breeding
areas for mosquitoes.
C. Care will be taken not to block existing drainage ditches.
d. An extensive rodent control program will be established if structures are to be removed
or demolished
e. Telephone, water, sewer, and electric utilities exist along the project. The Department
of Transportation will hold a preconstruction conference between the Department, the
Contractor, representatives of the involved utility companies, and pertinent local
officials. Methods to coordinate utility adjustments will be discussed at this
conference. The contractor will prepare a work schedule that minimizes possible
damage to these utilities and interruption of service.
f. During construction of the proposed project, all materials resulting from clearing and
grubbing, demolition, or other operations will be removed from the project and burned
or otherwise disposed of by the Contractor. Any burning done will be done in
accordance with applicable local laws and ordinances and regulations of the North
Carolina State Implementation Plan for air quality. Care will be taken to insure
burning will be done at the greatest distance practicable from dwellings and not when
atmospheric conditions are such as to create a hazard to the public. Burning will be
performed under constant surveillance.
g. An erosion control schedule will be developed by the contractor before starting work.
The schedule will show the time relationship between phases of the work that must be
coordinated to reduce erosion and describe construction practices and temporary
erosion control measures that will be used to minimize erosion. In conjunction with
this schedule, the contractor will be required to follow those provisions of the plans and
specifications pertaining to erosion and siltation. Temporary erosion control measures
such as berms, dikes, dams, silt basins, and others will be used as needed.
h. Prior to the approval of any borrow source developed for the use on this project, the
contractor shall obtain a certification from the State Historic Preservation Officer of the
State Department of Cultural Resources certifying that the removal of the material from
the borrow source will have no effect on any known district, site, building, structure, or
object that is listed on-the National Register of Historic Places. A copy of this
certification shall be furnished to the Engineer prior to performing any work on the
proposed borrow source.
41
i. Measures will be taken in allaying the dust generated by construction when the control
of dust is necessary for the protection and comfort of motorists of area residents.
j. Traffic service in the immediate project area may be briefly disrupted during
construction. Efforts will be made to ensure the transportation needs of the public
will be met during and after construction.
k. Measures will be taken to ensure that sediment and erosion control devices will not be
placed in wetland areas, except for devices such as silt fences and rock check dams in
drainage areas which limit sediment getting into the wetland.

Appendix 4 includes copies of comments received (see pages A4-1 through A4-18).
B. Citizens Informational Workshop
The Division of Highways held an informal Citizens Informational Workshop for the
project on December 6, 1995. This workshop was held at Cumberland Mills Elementary
School in Hope Mills. Representatives of the Planning and Environmental Branch, the
Roadway Design Unit, Division 6, and the Right of Way Branch of the NCDOT were
available to explain the project, answer questions, and receive comments. Approximately 40
citizens attended the meeting. Appendix 5 contains a copy of the news release advertising
the workshop (see page A5-1).
During the workshop, the Division of Highways displayed an aerial photograph of the
project area, vicinity maps, and a thoroughfare plan map showing the proposed project. In
addition, the Division of Highways supplied each participant with an information packet
containing general project information., a vicinity map, and a comment sheet. A copy of this
42
packet is included in Appendix 5 (see pages A5-2 through A5-11). Each participant had the
opportunity to review the aerial photograph and maps and ask questions or give comments.
Most citizens inquired as to which side SR 1141 would be widened on.. A few
citizens asked how close a road can come to a structure before NCDOT would purchase the
property. There were also questions about right of way acquisition procedures and the
schedule for this project. Although many citizens had concerns regarding individual
properties, overall, most citizens acknowledged the need for or were in favor of the project.
C. Public Hearing
A public Hearing will be held following circulation of this report to provide more
detailed project information to local citizens and receive additional comments on the project.

It is the policy of the NCOOT to ensure that comparable replacement
housinc will be available prior to construction -0f state and
federally-assisted projects. Furthermore, the North Carolina Board of
Transportation has the following three programs to minimize the
inconvenience of relocation:
* Relocation Assistance,
• Relocation Moving Payments, and
• Relocation Replacement Housing Payments or Rent Supplement.
With the Relocation Assistance Program, experienced NCDOT staff will be
available t0 assist displace=s with inforaation such,as availability and
pries of homes, apartments, or businesses for sale or rent and financing
or other housing programs. The Relocation Movinc Payments Program, in
general, provides for payment of actual roving expenses encountered in
relocation. Where displacemient will forte an owner or tenant to purchase
or rent property of hither cost or to lose a favorable financing arranca-
ment (in cases Of Ownership), the Relocation RE71acaMent Housing PE./r-nts
or Rent Su'polemient Procram will compensate up to (22,500 t0 O:vnE1'S t:h0 arc
el i c i `,l e and qualify and up to $5,250 to tenants who are eligible and
cualifv.
The relocation program for the proposed action will be conducted in
accordance wiCh the FEderal Uniform, Relocation Assistance and F.-----l
Prop=rty Acculisition Policies Act of 1970 (Public L=/ 91-645), and/or th-e
North Carolina Relocation Assistant= Act (CS-133-5 through 133-18). The
program, is desicned to provide assistance to displaced persons in r=loca-
tina to a replacement site in which to live or do business. At lE=:t one
relocation officer is assigned to each hiGhWEY prGj:E:t for this purpose.
The relocation officer will dEt=rm i r,e the needs d' displaced families,
individuals, businesses, non-nr0iit Organizations, avid far-in operaticn-s for
relocation a_:istance advisory services Withcut rE and to race, C-lor,
religion, sex, or national origin. The NCOOT will schedule its wcrk to
alic, amiple ti,,e, prior to displacement, for negotiations and posts:ion
Of reolaC-ement housing which meets decent, safe, and sanitary standards.
The displac=es are given at least. a 90-dav write=i nGtlC: aft=r NCJGI pur-
chases the property. Relocation of displaced per--ors will be after=d in
area: not c=nerally less desirable in regard to public utilitiES avid
cerrercial facilities. Rent and sale prices of replacement property will
be within the financial means of the families and individuals displa_=d
and will be r=sonably accessible to their places of employment. The
relocation officer will also assist owners -of -displaced busine_:=s,
non-profit organizations, and farm operations in se=rching for and moving
to replacement property.
All tenant and owner residential occupants who may be displaced will.
receive an explanation regarding all available options, such as (1)
purchase of replacement housing, (2) rental of repiacement housing, either
Al-1
anctner site (1T possiole). ine relocation ollicer will aiso %upptV
info „ation concerning other state or federal programs offering assistance
to displaced persons and will provide other advisory services as ne_d:d in
order to minimize hardships to displaced persons in adjusting to a nEIN
location.
The Moving Expense Payments Program is designed to compensate the dis-
plac=e for the costs of moving personal property from homes, busine::es,
non-profit organizations, and farm operations acquired for a highway
project. Under the Replacement Program for Owners, NCOOT will participate
in reasonable incidental purchase payments for replacement dwellings such
as attorneys fees, surveys, appraisals, and other closing costs arid, if
applicable, make a payment for any increased interest expenses far
replacement dwellings. Reimbursement to owner-occupants for replace:rant
housing payments, increased interest payments, and incidental purchase
expenses may not exceed $22,500 (combined total), except under the Last
Resort Housing provision.
A displaced tenant may be eligible to receive a payment, not to exceed
$5,250, to rent a replacement dwelling or to make a down payment, includ-
ing incidental expenses, on the purchase of a replacement dwelling. The
down payment is based upon what the state deterimines is required when the
rent suppl emsEnt exceeds $7250.
It is a policy of the st=t= that no person will be displaced by t=.
NCDOT's state or federally-a_:ist:d construction proj-=ts unless anu u-it'll
ec,,carabl e repl aceniient hcusi na has ba=n Offered or provided for e_=:h
displace= within a re=scrabl_ period of time prior to displace-:alert. No
rz,location pa cent received will be considered as income for the purpcs_s
Of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 or for the purposes of dete rining
eligibility or the ext_nl: of eligibility of any person for assistance
under the Social Security Act or any other federal 1a;w.
LA-St Resort Housing is a program used when cgr arable replaceMlent Fcu'sino
is-r,.Gt available, or when it is unavailable :within the displace-_'s fine--
ci el means-, and the rE_1 acerent payim-ent exc=__s the federal /state 1=-_1
limitation. The purpose of It-ilia procram is to allow broad latitude-: in
methods of implementaticn by the state so that decent, safe, and sanitary
replace::lent housing Can be provided.. It is not felt that this prccrami
will be necessary on t:e project, since there appear to be adegca:=
o.po r unities for relocation within the area.

SUBJECT. Future Uidenin; of Cumberland Road
Dear Mr. Bridges:
This le ter is in response to your inquiry as to what im.r-tact the proposed Cu--be,-land Road
wide ir_g will have on an exis:i_-Q P%VC electrical substation located at the i nteaection of
Curnberl=d Road and Carbine Street. In discussing this rra.Ler with Sam. Stryker. PVC Chief
Elecu:cal Engineer, it was indicated the sta on currently has minirnal setback from Cumnbe:land
Road and the loss of an additional 20' will be detrimental to our continued use of the site for an
electrical substation.
IfNCDOT does plan to proceed «ith the Aidening project on the north side ofCurnberland
Road. PWC will have to consider its options that may include rebuilding all or a potion of the
station within the bounds of our existing lot, or possibly relocating to an alternate site within the
service area.
I hope you will find this information useful in your planning process. If you have any
questions please do not hesitate to contact me at 910-678-7409, or Mr. Stryker who may be reached
at 910-678-746-4.
Vey truly yours,

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Tine North Carolina Depz --e nt of Transportation's 1996-2002 Transportation Improver ant
Program (TIP) proposes to widen SR 1141 (Cumberland Road) to a five-lane curb and gutter sea ion from
NC 59 (Hope Mills Road) in Hope Mills to SR 1233 (Yale Suet). Tae project will cover a distance of 3.5
km (22 miles). The project area is shown on the attached map.
PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT
The purpose of this projec: is to alleviate congestion and improve safety along SR H41. Current
estimates show up to approximately 21,700 vehicles per day on SR 1141 within the project limits. This is
expected to increase to 24,700 vehicles per day by the construction year (2001) and to 34,000 vehicles per
day by the design year (2020).
The 1994 accident rate along SR 1141 from NC 59 to SR 1113 is 645.6 accidents per hundred
million vehicle k.-Ica, tterc. There .ter e 141 accidents in 1994 within the project limits. During the same
period the statewide average on uran secondary roads was 404.97 accidents per hundred million vehicle
A5-3
kilome:e-s. Tne majority of accidents along SR 1141 were rear-end collisions. This is charame:istic of a
roadway operating near or beyond its capacity.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
Currently, planning and ervironmeatll studies for the proposed proje= are being conducted. The
Citizens Informational Workshop is a part of this process. A pubiid h=-:ng is anticipated for the project
in the spring of 1997. Right of way acquisition is scheduled to begin in fiscal year 1999, and constructim
is scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2001.
PROJECT COST

Construction S4.300
Total Estimated Cost S 7'217,000
PROPOSED 2VTROVEIMEN7S
SR 1141 wiiI be widened to a five -lane rub and gun iiom NC 59 in Hope %, fills to SR
12:=. The need for additional turf. a lanes at intersections with heavy tr-c will also be inve_rigated
throughout ti e-project. The proposed typical section is shown on the a=ch-.d figure.
Three methods for widening SR 1141 are being rudied in cr;:= to provide the mos cos-
" ele-:ive design while minimizing impacs on the social, economic a=d natural environment: smmet-teal
widening, ear-side widening, and west-side wid-ening. It is likely t zl' a combination of these alte-na*.iv--
will be selected as the recommended alumnative.
As a part of this project SR 1219 (Ireland Drive) and SR L?9 (Pine Sprags Drive) will be
realigned to provide one four-lea intersection. A?so, the SR 1149 (-ochre Trail) and SR 2920 (UpchuTMch
Road) intersection will be realir*ted to provide a four-leg inte.?e= :en. The relipm-meat of these
into: secdotns will be done by either moving one road toward the odh or by moving both roads toward
each other.
A? 7lCIPATED RIGHT OF WAY MPACTS
Tne existing right of way width along the project, is 60 feet Tae proposed widening will require
additional right of way and will l%Kely require the relocation of resid=ces and businesses. However, until
both environmental studies and preliminary design are completed, rerfic right of way impaes to
individual properties cannot be de:-mined. Anticipated impacts to diridual prope-ties will be presented
at the public hearing to be held in the spring of 1997.
No final decision has been made retarding this project There,-'ore, the above information and
schedule are preliminary and subject to change. As planning for the r, oie^_t continues, we will include all
comments and suggestions to the extent possible

SUBJECT: Scoping Meeting Minutes for the widening of SR 1141
(Cumberland Road) from NC 59 (Hope Mills Road) to SR 1233
(Yale Street), Hope Mills, Federal Aid Project No. STP-1141(3),
State Project 8.2441501, TIP Project U-2304A
On September 14,1995 a scoping meeting was held on the above referenced
project. The following attended the meeting:
David Cox N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission
Jerry Snead Hydraulics
John Taylor Location and Surveys
Jack Matthews Photogrammetry
Jimmy Capps Program Development (Scheduling)
Nelson Frye Right of Way (Utilities)
Hubert Thaggard Roadway Design
Bob May Roadway Design
Darrell Hensdale Statewide Planning
Barry Shapiro Signals and Geometrics
Kevin Bisby Traffic Control
Stephanie Briggs Planning and Environmental-Permits
Wilson Stroud Planning and Environmental
James Bridges Planning and Environmental
The findings and recommendations from this meeting and other scoping comments
are outlined below:
1. Division Traffic has recommended two additional traffic signals on this project.
The location of the traffic signals has not been determined. Also, a closed loop
traffic signal system has been recommended at an estimated cost of $70,000.
2. Joint power distribution and transmission lines are located on the northside of
SR 1141 along with a substation. If widening causes relocation of the lines or
substation, this could cause an extensive increase in right of way costs.
3. There is a pumphouse on the northside of the Bulkhead Creek culvert and a
sanitary sewer line on the southside.
4. Houses on the east end of the project may contain asbestos.
5. NC 59 (Hope Mills Road) west of SR 1411 will be widened to SR 1138 as a
part of TIP Project U-2308.
6. Roadway should receive mapping by August 1996 and will provide preliminary
plans by November 1996.
7. The Environmental Assessment will be scheduled to be complete by February
1997. The FONSI is scheduled to be complete in July 1997.
8. The State Historic Preservation Office does not recommend an architectural or
archeological survey for this project.
9. Bulkhead Creek is a Class C water supply. Normal sedimentation and erosion
control measures will be implemented on this project.
10. The existing 3-barrel culvert at Bulkhead Creek may need to be replaced with a
box culvert instead of being extended.
Any questions regarding this project should be directed to me at 733-3141 Ext.
246.

H. Will borrow locations be in wetlands? Borrow/waste areas
should avoid wetlands to the maximum extent practicable.
Prior to approval of any borrow/waste site in a wetland, the
contractor shall obtain a 401 Certification from DEM.
I. Did NCDOT utilize the existing road alignments as much as
possible? Why not (-if applicable)?
J. To what extent can traffic congestion management techniques
alleviate the traffic problems in the study area?
K. Please provide a conceptual mitigation plan to help the
environmental review. The mitigation plan may state the
following:
1. Compensatory mitigation will be considered only after
wetland impacts have been avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent possible.
2. On-site, in-kind mitigation is the preferred method of
mitigation. In-kind mitigation within the same
watershed is preferred over out-of-kind mitigation.
3. Mitigation should be in the following order:
restoration, creation, enhancement, and lastly banking.
Please note that a 401 Water Quality Certification cannot be
issued until the conditions of NCAC 15A: 01C.0402 (Limitations on
Actions During NCEPA Process) are met. This regulation prevents
DEM from issuing the 401 Certification until a FONSI or Record of
Decision (ROD) has been issued by the Department requiring the
document. If the 401 Certification application is submitted for
review prior to issuance of the FONSI or ROD, it is recommended
that the applicant state that the-401 will not be issued until
the applicant informs DEM that the FONSI or ROD has been signed by the Department. -
Written concurrence of 401 Water Quality Certification may
be required for this project. Applications requesting coverage
under our General Certification 14 or General Permit 31 will
require written concurrence. Please be aware that 401
Certification may be denied if wetland or water impacts have not
been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable. -

the Federal Highway Administration
I. TYPE OF ACTION
This is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) administrative action,
Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).
The FHWA has determined this project will not have any significant impact on
the human environment. This FONSI is based on the Environmental Assessment, which
has been independently evaluated by the FHWA and determined to adequately and
accurately discuss the environmental issues and impacts of the proposed project. The
Environmental Assessment provides sufficient evidence and analysis for determining that
an Environmental Impact Statement is not required. The FHWA takes full responsibility
for the accuracy, scope, and content of the Environmental Assessment.
II. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ACTION
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen
SR 1141 (Cumberland Road) from SR 1135 (John Smith Road) in Hope Mills to SR 1233
(Yale Street), a distance of 3.5 km (2.2 miles) (see Figure 1). NCDOT includes this
project in the 1998-2004 Transportation Improvement Program (T.I.P.). Right of way
acquisition is scheduled to begin in fiscal year 1999, and construction is scheduled to
begin in fiscal year 2001.
NCDOT will widen SR 1141, which is an existing three-lane shoulder section, to
a five-lane curb and gutter section. The proposed typical section will be 19.2 meters (64
feet) wide from face to face of curbs. It will provide four through lanes (two in each
direction) and a continuous center left-turn lane. The proposed project will provide a
design speed of approximately 80 km/hr (50 mph) in anticipation of a posted speed limit
of 70 km/hr (45 mph). It will require 25.2 meter (83 feet) of right of way. The proposed
improvements are shown in Figure 3.
The estimated cost of the project is $12,025,000, including $8,425,000 for right of
way acquisition and $3,600,000 for construction. The funding shown in the 1998-2004
T.I.P. is $3,150,000 for right of way acquisition and $4,300,000 for construction, for a
total of $7,450,000.
III. RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE
A. PERMITS
Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and surface waters are anticipated. In
accordance with provisions of section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), a
permit will be required from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) for the discharge
of dredged or fill material into "Waters of the United States."
Based on field delineations using the Global Positioning System (GPS) (see
Figure 4), a Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33 CFR 330.5(a) (14) is likely to be
applicable for jurisdictional surface waters found in the project study area. This permit
authorizes construction provided the following conditions are met:
(1) the width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the actual crossing;
(2) the fill placed in Water of the United States is limited to a filled area of no more than
0.1 hectares (1/3 acre);
(3) no more than a total of 61 m (200 linear ft) of the fill for the roadway can occur in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands;
(4) the crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent the restriction of,
and to withstand, expected high flows and tidal flows and movement of aquatic
organisms, and;
(5) the crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and permanent, is part of
a single and complete project for crossing of a Water of the United States.
A North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Section 401 Water Quality
General Certification is required prior to the issuance of the Section 404 Nationwide #14.
Section 401 Certification allows surface waters to be temporarily impacted for the
duration of the construction or other land manipulations.
B. SIDEWALKS
The City of Fayetteville submitted a formal request, in accordance with the
NCDOT Pedestrian Policy Guidelines, that sidewalks be included along Cumberland
Road under TIP Project U-2304A. Although the project is outside the city limits of
Fayetteville, the City of Fayetteville stated in its request that they anticipate annexing the
portion of Cumberland Road included in the project limits before the let date of this
project. Taking this into consideration, NCDOT has reviewed the request and has
2
determined sidewalks are warranted along Cumberland Road and will be included in the
subject project if the section of Cumberland Road within the project limits is annexed
before construction begins on the project. However, no determination has been made as
to the cost participation percentages for the construction cost of the sidewalk installation.
The Programming and TIP Branch of NCDOT is currently revising the Pedestrian Policy
Guidelines and will notify the City of Fayetteville regarding the participation percentages
after the revision is completed. A municipal agreement will be required between
NCDOT and the City of Fayetteville before construction of the sidewalk will begin.
NCDOT will continue to coordinate with the City of Fayetteville, the Town of Hope
Mills and the Cumberland County Joint Planning Board concerning this issue.
C. BICYCLE ACCOMMODATIONS
The Transportation Advisory Committee of the Fayetteville Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO) requested bicycle accommodations be included as a part of
this project (see pages Al-21 through Al-24). Bike lanes along Cumberland Road are
included in the 1998-2004 NCDOT Transportation Improvement Plan as an incidental
project. The MPO is in the process of developing a local area bike route system which
includes SR 1141 as a proposed route. The route system will serve to connect the
downtown area of Hope Mills with the surrounding areas. It will also connect the
surrounding residential areas to Cumberland Elementary School, located east of the
project, shopping areas in the vicinity, and three churches located along the project.
NCDOT reviewed the MPO's request and discussed it with both the MPO and the
NCDOT Office of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation. Although this section of SR
1141 is a proposed bike route, the two SR 1141 widening projects to the east, B-2534 and
U-2304B, do not include extra pavement width for bicycle traffic. Also, bicycle-safe (54-
inch high) guardrail is not proposed on the new structure over the CSX Railroad being
constructed under Project B-2534. Based on these considerations, only differential
striping is recommended to accommodate bicycle traffic. This will provide 3.9-meter
(13-foot) outside lanes and 3.3-meter (11-foot) inside lanes along SR 1141.
D. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
A field reconnaissance survey identified three operational facilities and six non-
operational facilities with the possibility for underground storage tanks within the proposed
corridor alignments. NCDOT will conduct a site assessment of underground storage
facilities located within the project area prior to right of way acquisition. If leaks and
contamination has occurred, NCDOT will notify the Division of Water Quality. Also, an
appropriate amount will be withheld from the property owner during right of way
acquisition for clean up.
The Geographical Information System (GIS) was consulted for the project
corridor. The research showed that no regulated or unregulated landfills or dumpsites
occur within the project limits. Based on the field reconnaissance and records search,
there should be no further environmental conflicts which will impact this project.
E.? FLOODWAY MODIFICATION
Cumberland County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Regular
Program. The Buckhead Creek crossing is in a designated flood hazard zone, and is
included in the detailed flood study, having established regulatory floodplain and
floodway limits with corresponding water surface elevations. The established limits of
the 100-year floodplain are shown in Figure 7; however, the floodway limits are not
shown. No buildings with floor elevations below the 100-year flood level were observed
in the vicinity of the stream crossing. The proposed reinforced concrete box culvert will
have improved conveyance over that of the existing pipes; therefore, the backwater from
the proposed culvert will not have a significant adverse affect on the existing floodplain,
nor on the associated flood hazard. The reduction in backwater as a result of the
proposed replacement with a culvert may require a floodway modification.
?a The Buckhead Creek crossing is below headwaters, but it is anticipated the
crossing will qualify as a minor road crossing, and as such, an individual Section 404
permit will not be required. Based on field review, it is anticipated the proposed culvert
can be accommodated without major modifications or realignment of the stream. The
ys project is not in a water supply watershed nor a high quality water zone; therefore,
?to erosion and sedimentation will be controlled through the appropriate specification,
installation, and maintenance of standard erosion and sedimentation control measures.
Existing drainage patterns will be maintained to the extent practicable. Groundwater
resources will not be affected as little, if any, excavation will be required.
No major modification or realignment of Buckhead Creek will be required on this
project.
F. GEODETIC MARKERS
This project will impact four geodetic survey markers. NCDOT will notify the
N.C. Geodetic Survey prior to construction.
IV. SUMMARY OF BENEFICIAL AND ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACTS
The proposed improvements will allow more efficient vehicle operation and
reduced travel times. This will result in road user cost savings. Automobile traffic safety
will be enhanced. Access to homes, businesses, and public facilities will be improved.
Increased channelization and sedimentation are the major anticipated impacts to
water quality expected to result from the project. Scouring of the streambed, soil
compaction, and loss of shading due to vegetation removal are also potential impacts.
Erosive runoff is a major concern due to the substantial development of the area. No
federally protected species, archaeological sites, or historic architectural resources will be
affected.
Approximately 2.5 hectares (6.1 acres) of additional right of way will be required
for Project U-2304A, resulting in an estimated 16 residential relocations and six business
relocations. Approximately 0.04 hectares (0.10 acres) of wetland will be impacted by this
project in the vicinity of Buckhead Creek.
As explained in Section III.E of the Environmental Assessment, avoiding impacts
to this wetland would increase the proximity damages to residences in the vicinity of
Buckhead Creek, thereby increasing the overall cost of the project. Three alternatives were
studied in the vicinity of Buckhead Creek, north-side, south-side, and symmetrical
widening and were evaluated based on the number of relocatees, right of way costs, and
wetland impacts. Symmetrical widening was recommended because it provides the best
balance between impacts to homes and businesses, impacts to water resources, and total
project costs (see Table 1).

This information was included in Table N5 on page A2-23 of the Appendix to the
Environmental Assessment and is shown here to assist local authorities in exercising land
use control over the remaining undeveloped lands adjacent to the roadway within local
jurisdictions.
In accordance with the NCDOT Traffic Noise Abatement Policy, the
Federal/State governments are no longer responsible for providing noise abatement
measures for new development for which building permits are issued within the noise
impact area of a proposed highway after the Date of Public Knowledge. The Date of
Public Knowledge of the location of the proposed highway project will be the approval
date of CE's, FONSI's, ROD'S, or the Design Public Hearing, whichever comes later.
For development occurring after this public knowledge date, local governing bodies are
responsible for insuring that noise compatible designs are utilized along the proposed
facility.

B. COMMENTS RECEIVED ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Comment: "Although we concur with the selected alternative to symmetrically widen
SR 1141, we recommend bridging the crossing at Buckhead Creek to
further minimize the wetland impacts."
Response: The Environmental Assessment stated that approximately 0.14 ha (0.35
acre) of wetlands were anticipated to be impacted by the subject project.
After conducting further field investigations, including the delineation of
the Buckhead Creek wetland in the vicinity of the project using Global
Positioning System (GPS) equipment by NCDOT's Natural Systems Unit
Lead Specialist Bruce Ellis, it was determined that only 0.04 ha (0.10 acre)
of wetland will be impacted by the widening of Cumberland Road. The
Corps was notified of this change in anticipated impacted area. The Corps
agreed that bridging the Buckhead Creek wetland, while considered an
avoidance alternative to impacting the wetlands, is not a cost effective
means of minimizing wetland impacts. All measures to minimize wetland
impacts during the construction of the proposed box culvert will be taken.
Final designs have been modified to include increasing sideslope grades in
the area of the wetland crossing as a means to reduce the overall footprint
of the proposed roadway. This will, in effect, minimize the anticipated
wetland impacts and will provide a balance between project costs and
wetland impacts.
Comment: "Your proposed project might be authorized by Nationwide Permit 14
provided it meets the criteria of that nationwide permit. However, based
on the level of impacts identified in the EA, an individual Department of
the Army permit will be required unless impacts to wetlands meet the
criteria for this general permit and are minimized to the maximum extent
practicable."
Response: As stated above, original estimates included in the Environmental
Assessment anticipated approximately 0.14 ha (0.35 acre) of wetland
impact in the vicinity of Buckhead Creek. Wetland delineation based on
final designs determined that approximately 0.04 ha (0.10 acre) of wetland
impacts will result from the proposed widening of Cumberland Road. All
feasible and reasonable measures to minimize wetland impacts have been
taken, including the use of steeper sideslopes in the vicinity of Buckhead
Creek which will reduce the footprint of the proposed roadway and will
minimize impacted wetland acreage. The anticipated impacted wetland
acreage for the proposed improvement is now well within the 1/3 acre
limit for authorization of a Nationwide Permit 14.
Comment: "We refer you to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's
"Procedures for `No Rise' Certification for proposed Developments in
regulatory Floodways," copies of which have been provided previously to
your office. The project should be designed to meet the requirements of
the NFIP and be in compliance with all local ordinances."
Response: The proposed crossing at Buckhead Creek is in a regulatory floodway.
NCDOT will take all appropriate measures during final hydraulic designs
to comply with the Federal Emergency Management Agency's "No-Rise"
certification requirements for proposed developments in regulatory
floodways.
N.C. Division of Water Quality
Comment: "DOT studied three alternatives, all of which would require further
encroachment (0.25 to 0.50 acre fill in wetlands plus 89 linear feet of
N stream loss) on Buckhead Creek and its associated wetlands. Although the
selected alternative is not the least damaging to wetlands, we concur that it
3 v represents the most practical alternative considering local social and
p environmental factors."
7
Response: Comment noted. The recommended alternative will impact approximately
0.10 acres of wetland associated with Buckhead Creek and will not require
relocating any property in the vicinity of the creek. This alternative
creates the best balance of impacts between the natural environment and
the social environment.
Comment: "DOT anticipates approval of this work under Nationwide Permit 14
(General Certification 3106); however, the anticipated 0.35 acre impact
exceeds the 0.33 acre threshold for Nationwide Permit 14. Unless this
impact is reduced, the project would require submittal of an Individual
Permit application. We strongly encourage DOT to reduce the footprint of
this project at the Buckhead Creek crossing to minimize impacts on
wetlands and the stream. This could have added benefit to DOT of
reducing the time required to process a Nationwide versus an Individual
Permit."
Response: As previously stated, original estimates included in the Environmental
Assessment anticipated approximately 0.14 ha (0.35 acre) of wetland
impact in the vicinity of Buckhead Creek. Wetland delineation based on
final designs determined that approximately 0.04 ha (0.10 acre) of wetland
impacts will result from the proposed widening of Cumberland Road. All
feasible and reasonable measures to minimize wetland impacts have been
taken, including the use of steeper sideslopes in the vicinity of Buckhead
Creek which will reduce the footprint of the proposed roadway and will
minimize impacted wetland acreage. The anticipated impacted wetland
acreage for the proposed improvement is now well within the 1/3 acre
limit for authorization of a Nationwide Permit 14.
Comment: "Based upon the impacts described in the EA, neither wetland nor stream
mitigation will likely be required for this project; however, DOT should
note that if total project impacts for T.I.P. Nos. U-2304A and B together
exceed 1.0 acre of fill in wetlands, mitigation will be required in
accordance with DWQ Wetland Rules {(15A NCAC 2H.0506(h)(3)}, the
Wetland Restoration Program will be available to use for wetland
mitigation."
Response: A Categorical Exclusion was completed on October 19, 1994 for TIP
Project U-2304B, which proposed to widen SR 1141 (Cumberland Road)
to a six-lane curb and gutter facility from SR 1344 (Natal Street) to SR
1-kN 1007 (Owen Drive). Construction of this project was completed in
November of 1998. This project does not impact any wetlands or streams
in the vicinity of the project; therefore, the combined total impacts to
wetlands and streams for TIP Projects U-2304A and B are equal to the
total impacts associated with TIP Project U-2304A and will result in less
than 1.0 acre of fill in wetlands.
Comment: "We ask DOT to provide a discussion of the anticipated construction
methodology at the Buckhead Creek crossing. DWQ is advised that full
restoration (including removal of fill material and planting/monitoring of
vegetation) of temporary fill areas exceeding one acre will be required in
accordance with Condition #4 of General Certification 3114 (Nationwide
Permit 33). All temporary fill material must be removed from
construction access areas. On May 27, 1997, DWQ submitted to DOT a
3 Response:

draft restoration policy for temporary impact areas. We anticipate
finalization of this policy prior to construction of this project."
The Buckhead Creek crossing will require the replacement of the exisli
three 2100mm (84 in.) corrugated metal pipes wi a ou a arrel 3m
culven"WflT require two phases, the first phase will shift traffic to the
upstream (north) side of Cumberland Road while the south end of the
culvert is constructed. Phase two will shift traffic onto the newly
constructed south end of the culvert and the northern most section of the
culvert will be built. Travel lanes in the vicinity of the culvert will be
reduced to 3.3 m (11 ft) as a measure to minimize the necessity of
temporary fill. A temporary stilling basin will be constructed on the
downstream side (south) of the proposed culvert, in the southwest
quadrant of the Buckhead Creek / Cumberland Road intersection. This
stilling basin will be used to filter water pumped from the culvert during
construction. All quadrants of the Buckhead Creek / Cumberland Road
intersection where studied for possible sites of the temporary stilling
basin; however, the proposed site was the only feasible location. The
existing topography of the northeast quadrant would not allow the stilling
basin to operate properly. The northwest quadrant is currently occupied
by a residential structure and the southeast quadrant site contains an
existing sewer line. The temporary stilling basin proposed for this site
will be 23 m x 25 m (75 ft x 82 ft) in size and will impact approximately
0.1 acres of the wetland located in the Buckhead Creek vicinity. Once
construction of the culvert is complete, all fill associated with the
temporary stilling basin will be removed.
N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission
Comment: "We support NCDOT in the decision to improve existing facilities rather
than to construct new highways. NCDOT should minimize wetland
impacts to the maximum extent practicable and should use best
management practices to protect wetlands and surface waters outside the
project limits. At this time, we concur with the EA for this project and
anticipate our concurrence with the upcoming Finding of No Significant
Impact."
Response: NCDOT is recommending the alternative which best balances the impacts
to both the natural and social environments for this project. Although
some wetlands will be impacted by this project, the recommended
alternative reduces right of way impacts to homes and businesses located
in the vicinity of Buckhead Creek while minimizing the associated
impacts to the wetland along this project. NCDOT will implement Best
Management Practices throughout the construction of this project.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Comment: "The [Fish and Wildlife] Service considers that this EA adequately
addresses the existing fish and wildlife resources and the potential impacts
of this proposed project on these resources. Based on the information
provided, the Service concludes that this project, implemented as
described, will not have significant impact on resources under our
jurisdiction, and would not oppose Department of the Army authorization
of this project under Nationwide Permit #33."
Response: Comment noted.
C. COMMENTS RECEIVED DURING AND FOLLOWING THE PUBLIC
HEARING
Following the circulation of the Environmental Assessment, an open forum public
hearing was held at the Douglas Byrd High School in Fayetteville on September 24,
1998. Copies of the public hearing notice and a copy of the handout presented at the
public hearing are included in the Appendix of this report (pages A2-1 through A2-12).
Approximately 50 citizens attended the public hearing. Several issues were raised by
local residents. Overall, the comments made by the attendees indicated support for
improvements along SR 1141. Some of the comments received during the public hearing
which reflect the various questions asked and comments made are listed below:
Comment: "I would like to ask, what would be the cost to replace our fire station?"
Response: Alternate 1 (see section IV.A of this report) proposes to relocate the
Cumberland Road Fire Station as part of the realignment of Upchurch
Drive. The current right of way estimate for the Cumberland Road
widening involving this alternative is $8,575,000, which includes the
relocation of the Fire Station.
Comment: "[the fire station] has been very good to the area that we live in, and
outstanding Fire Department. We would hate to lose it. I have lived in
that area since 1957 and I really appreciate my Fire Department and I
would like to save it. I live on the corner of Boone Trail and Cumberland
Road, 4102 and I have 4104 and 4105 Boone Trail. But I would still like
to see us save our Fire Department if possible."
Response: Based on comments from the public hearing, discussions with the
Cumberland Road Fire Station, and right of way cost estimates, NCDOT
has reevaluated the initial proposal to realign Upchurch Drive. Instead,
NCDOT now proposes to realign Boone Trail such that it ties into
Cumberland Road at the Upchurch / Cumberland Road intersection,
thereby creating a four-legged intersection. This alternative will require
the relocation of seven residential and four business properties and has an
estimated right of way cost of $3,500,000. The total. right of way cost for
the Cumberland Road widening, including this alternative to realign
Boone Trail is estimated to be $8,425,000.
Comment: "...the land that will be given to the Transportation Department for a
certain amount. If there is a septic tank or water meter that falls within
that, will this be removed and replaced by the Department, with no cost to
the property owner?"
10
Response: NCDOT is scheduled to begin right of way acquisition in August 1999.
At this time, right of way agents will meet with all property owners who
are affected by the subject project to assess the proposed damages to the
property and appraise the value of the property. If a septic tank or well is
located within the proposed right of way and can not be moved to an
acceptable location elsewhere on the property, NCDOT will purchase the
entire property and its existing structure for the appraised value
determined by the right of way agent.
Comment: "Are you going to raise the road or is everything going to stay level."
Response: The proposed project will not raise the existing road grade by more than
approximately two inches, if any at all. Some regrading will be required
to tie the berm at the back of the curb into the existing ground; however,
because the existing terrain in the vicinity of Cumberland Road is
relatively level, only a slight change in elevation will occur.
Comment: "...there at Dumbarton where Owen Grove Nursery is at, I have had to sit
there for forty-five minutes before I could get out on Cumberland Road, as
it is right now, to go left. Could there be a stop light there or traffic light?"
Response: Under the subject project, NCDOT proposes gi4t?ure a intersection
of SR 1136 (Wingate Street) and Cumberland traffic
projections estimate only 300 vehicles a day turning left from SR 1399
(Dumbarton Road) onto Cumberland Road in the design year 2020. This
volume does not meet the traffic warrants for a signalized intersection,
therefore a signal is not proposed at this intersection under this project.
The proposed middle continuous turn lane on Cumberland Road should
make entering the flow of traffic on Cumberland Road easier from the side
streets along the project. The additional through lanes on Cumberland
Road will reduce congestion and increase the gaps in traffic flow, thereby
allowing turning vehicles from the side streets to enter Cumberland Road
more efficiently and with greater ease than they presently are able to.
Comment: "I would like everything done to keep our Fire Department where it is at."
Response: Comment noted. NCDOT has changed its original design to realign
Upchurch Drive and relocate the Cumberland Road Fire Station. The
design for the widening of Cumberland Road now proposes to realign
Boone Trail and leave the Fire Station in its current location.
Comment: "I am the Pastor of Faymount Baptist Church. We definitely want to keep
our Fire Department where it is. They are not only a good neighbor, but
they are also a good friend. They do a lot for everybody in the
community."
Response: NCDOT has reevaluated the original proposed realignment of Upchurch
Road and has determined, based on right of way cost estimates and
comments from local citizens and representatives from the Fire Station,
that relocating the Fire Station would increase the project cost and would
11
displace a needed community service. For these reasons, NCDOT
proposes to realign Boone Trail instead of Upchurch Road under this
project (see Section VI.A of this report).
Comment: "...why would we displace an agency [Catholic Social Ministry] providing
free social services to Cumberland County residents, financially punish a
business tax payer, and increase overall road expenses? Wouldn't it be
wiser to not align these two totally dissimilar roads (Boone Trail is a
major thoroughfare, while Upchurch Road is a short, dead-end, dirt road)?
If safety is the issue, why not close Upchurch Road and relocatettwo
houses and six trailers, a much easier and less expensive task. Does State
law require realignment?
Response: Although there is no law requiring realignment of offset intersections, they
have proven to be areas with high accident rates. For this reason, NCDOT
typically realigns these types of intersections during widening projects and
intersection improvement projects. Traffic volumes are used in
determining which "leg" of the intersection is the best candidate for
realignment, typically the lower volume road is realigned. However, this
is not always the case, NCDOT evaluates each intersection on a case by
case basis and analyzes not only traffic volumes, but right of way and
construction costs, numbers of relocatees, feasibility of construction, and
local residents' and officials' comments. The decision to realign Boone
Trail, as opposed to Upchurch Drive, was based on several of these factors
including, but not limited to, right of way costs, construction costs,
numbers of relocatees, intersection safety, traffic volumes, and access to
Cumberland Road for the Cumberland Road Fire Station. NCDOT
originally proposed to realign Upchurch Drive due to its low traffic
volumes; however, the realignment would have required the relocation of
the Cumberland Road Fire Station. In meetings with the Fire Station,
NCDOT was provided with preliminary cost estimates for relocating the
fire station. These estimates were significantly higher than the cost for
realigning Boone Trail. Approximately seven residential relocatees and
four business relocatees will be required for the Boone Trail realignment
versus two residential and three business relocatees for the Upchurch Road
realignment. At the public hearing the majority of the attendees spoke in
favor of realigning Boone Trail in order to save the fire station.
VI. REVISIONS TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
A. Realignment of Boone Trail
The Environmental Assessment proposed to realign SR 2920 (Upchurch Drive) to
tie into SR 1141 opposite SR 1149 (Boone Trail). This realignment required the
relocation of the Cumberland Road Fire Station, located in the southeast quadrant of the
intersection of SR 2920 and SR 1141.
Prior to the public hearing, a meeting was held between NCDOT and Cumberland
Road Fire Station staff to discuss the proposed relocation of the station. The fire station
staff expressed concerns about being relocated and stated that they did not want to be
relocated, contrary to what NCDOT originally thought based on comments from the
citizens informational workshop. Alternatives to relocating the fire station were
12
discussed at this meeting and it was decided that two alternatives, listed below, for the
Boone Trail / Upchurch Road / Cumberland Road intersection realignment would be
presented at the public hearing for comments.
Alternative 1
Alternative 1 proposes to relocate the Cumberland Road Fire Station and
realign Upchurch Road as stated in the Environmental Assessment. Right of way
costs for alternative 1 are estimated to be $3,575,000 and would included the
relocation of the Cumberland Road Fire Station. This alternative would also
require the relocation of one residential and two businesses. Under both
alternatives, a right turn lane from west bound Cumberland Road onto Boone
Trail would be constructed in order to accommodate a heavy volume of traffic
turning from Cumberland Road north onto Boone Trail. This turn lane will
require the purchase of additional right of way from the power substation, located
on the north side of Cumberland Road just east of the Boone Trail/Cumberland
Road intersection. Considerable additional right of way costs could be added to
the project if this power substation is required to relocate. The right turn lane
discussed above will be shortened to avoid impacting the substation if necessary.
Alternative 2
The second alternative would include the realignment of Boone Trail to tie
into Cumberland Road at the Upchurch Drive / Cumberland Road intersection,
thereby creating a four-legged intersection. This would require the relocation of
seven residences and four businesses in the vicinity of this intersection; however,
it would allow the fire station to remain at its current location. A painted island
will be placed at this intersection in front of the fire station and double stop bars
will be used to provide a break in the traffic queue at the intersection. This, in
conjunction with the fire station's existing signal preemption button, will allow
access to the intersection for the fire station in the event of an emergency.
Mountable curb and gutter will also be used in front of the fire station to allow
access to the two front bays for emergency vehicles and fire trucks. Estimated
right of way costs for this alternative are $3,500,000.
Based on comments received at the public hearing and discussions with the
Cumberland Road Fire Station staff, Alternate 2, which proposes to realign SR 1149
(Boone Trail) instead of SR 2920 (Upchurch Drive), is now the recommended alternate.
This alternate allows for the Cumberland Road Fire Station to remain in its current
location while maintaining the goal of realigning an offset intersection to improve the
safety and functionality of the intersection. Alternate 2, while requiring the relocation of
six additional residences and two additional businesses, is estimated to have a right of
way cost of $8,425,000. In comparison, Alternate 1 has an estimated right of way cost of
$8,500,000. This difference in cost can be attributed in part to the cost of relocating the
Cumberland Road Fire Station as proposed under Alternate 1. Because Alternate 2
accommodates the public's request to leave the fire station in place, satisfies the original
intent of realigning an offset intersection to improve safety and operation, and provides a
reduction in the overall right of way cost, NCDOT recommends Alternate 2 as the
preferred alternate.

B. Grade Change at Buckhead Creek
Pavement wedging is proposed for Cumberland Road in the vicinity of Buckhead
Creek in order to raise the grade of the existing roadway. This grade change will improve
the vertical curvature of Cumberland Road in this area and will allow for a correctly sized
double-barrel box culvert to be placed at the Buckhead Creek crossing which will not
v change the existing floodplain elevation of the creek. The grade change will begin
approximately 70 m (230 ft) west of Buckhead Creek and will extend approximately 500
m (1640 ft) to 36 m (118 ft) east of SR 1399 (Dumbarton Road). The existing pavement
will be raised a maximum of approximately 0.3 m (1 ft) through this area.
C. SR 1219 (Ireland Drive) Restriping
SR 1219 (Ireland Drive) will be widened and restriped to provide for two lanes of
travel in the northbound direction, a middle two way left turn lane, and one lane of travel
in the southbound direction. The outside northbound lane ends approximately 270 m
(886 ft) north of the Ireland Drive / Cumberland Road intersection, at which point Ireland
Drive is a 6 m (20 ft) two lane roadway.
D. Relocation of Houses and Businesses
In the Environmental Assessment, it was stated there would be a total of eleven
residential, four business, and one non-profit relocations for the Cumberland Road
widening project. As explained in Section VI.A. of this report, after the public hearing,
NCDOT changed the proposed realignment of the Upchurch Drive/ Boone Trail /
Cumberland Road intersection in order to avoid the relocation of the Cumberland Road
fire station. The updated relocation report (see page A3-3 through A34) shows six
residential and four business relocations for the realignment of Boone Trail, alternate 2.
The entire project, including the Boone Trail realignment, is then estimated to have a
total of sixteen residential and five business relocations.
14
VII. ONLY PRACTICABLE ALTERNATIVE WETLAND FINDING
Executive Order 11990 established as a national policy to avoid, to the extent
possible, adverse impacts on wetlands and to avoid direct or indirect support of new
construction in wetlands wherever there is a practicable alternative.
NCDOT will not be able to totally avoid wetlands because doing so would
produce unreasonable cost increases for the project due to impacts to existing
development along Cumberland Road. Impacts to wetlands will be minimized because
the project does not require construction on new location; it will use a curb and gutter
section which will minimize the amount of cut and fill; and Best Management Practices
will be implemented throughout construction.
It was determined there is no practicable alternative to the proposed construction
in wetlands and that the proposed action includes all practicable measures to minimize
harm to wetlands which may result from such use.
VIII. BASIS FOR FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
Based upon a study of the proposed project documented in the Environmental
Assessment and upon comments received from federal, state and local agencies and the
public, it is the finding of the North Carolina Department of Transportation and the
Federal Highway Administration that this project will not have a significant adverse
impact upon the human or natural environment. The project is not controversial from an
environmental standpoint. No significant impacts to natural, ecological, cultural, or
scenic resources are expected. The proposed project is consistent with local plans and
will not disrupt any communities. In view of the above evaluation, it has been
determined a Finding of No Significant Impact is applicable for this project. Therefore,
neither an Environmental Impact Statement nor further environmental analysis will be
required.

Dear Mr. Gilmore:
This is in response to a letter from your office dated May 15, 1998, requesting our
comments on the "Federal Environmental Assessment for Hope Mills, widen SR 1141
(Cumberland Road) from NC 59 (Hope Mills Road) to SR 1233 (Yale Street),
Cumberland County, Federal Aid No. STP-1141(3), State Project No. 8.2441501, TIP
Project No. U-2304A" (Regulatory Division Action I.D. No. 199600485).
Our comments involve impacts to flood plains and jurisdictional resources, which
include waters, wetlands, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects. The proposed
roadway improvements would not cross any Corps-constructed flood control or
navigation project. Our Regulatory Division will be providing their comments on waters
and wetlands by separate letter. Enclosed are our comments on flood plains.
We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this project. If we can be of further
assistance, please contact us.
Sincerely,
W_ kUw_'?

"Federal Environmental Assessment for Hope Mills, widen SR 1141 (Cumberland
Road) from NC 59 (Hope Mills Road) to SR 1233 (Yale Street), Cumberland County,
Federal Aid No. STP-1141(3), State Project No. 8.2441501, TIP Project No. U-2304A"
(Regulatory Division Action I.D. No. 199600485)
FLOOD PLAINS: POC - Mr. Bobby L. Willis, Planning Services Section at
[phone]
The proposed project is located in Cumberland County, which participates in the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Based on a review of Panels 155 and 160 of the February
1982 Cumberland County Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), the roadway crosses Buckhead
Creek, a detailed study stream with 100-year flood elevations determined and a floodway
defined. (The floodway limits are not shown on older versions of FIRM's, but rather are
included separately on Flood Boundary and Floodway Maps.) This crossing is referred to on
page 32 of the Environmental Assessment (EA) and shown on Figure 7 in the EA. We refer
you to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's "Procedures for'No Rise' Certification

Dear Mr. Gilmore:
Please reference your letter dated May 15, 1998, requesting comments on the Federal
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the above referenced project. According to the EA, the
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen SR 1141
(Cumberland Road), which is an existing three-lane highway, to a five-lane curb and gutter
highway. The total project length is 2.2 miles.
The purpose of the proposed project is to alleviate congestion and improve safety along
SR 1141. Four alternative widening options were considered including widening on north side,
south side, symmetrical, and a combination of these three alternatives. The NCDOT's preferred
alternative is to symmetrically widen SR 1141.
The NCDOT's preferred alternative would result in approximately 0.35 acres of wetland
impacts in the vicinity of Buckhead Creek. The existing crossing at Buckhead Creek contains
three corrugated metal pipes 84 inches in diameter. Based on the EA, NCDOT found this
structure to be hydraulically inadequate and proposes to replace it with a double-barrel (10 ft x 7
ft) box culvert (RCBC).
According to the EA, minimization of wetland impacts associated with this alternative
will be considered during final design. Although we concur with the selected alternative to
symmetrically widen SR 1141, we recommend bridging the crossing at Buckhead to further
minimize the wetland impacts. R E C

As stated in our letter dated November 13, 1995 Department of the Army (DA) permit
authorization, pursuant Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of 1977, as amended, will be required
for the discharge of excavated or fill material in waters of the United States or any adjacent,
wetlands in conjunction with this project, including disposal of construction debris.
Your proposed project might be authorized by Nationwide Permit 14 provided it meets
the criteria of that nationwide permit. However, based on the level of impact identified in the
EA, an individual Department of the Army permit will be required unless impacts to wetlands
meet the criteria for this general permit and are minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the Wilmington Field
Office, Regulatory Division, at [phone].

DIVIrICN OF ,,!?K
Thank you for your letter of May 15, 1998, requesting comments from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) on the Environmental Assessment (EA), dated May 1998, for the widening of
SR 1141 (Cumberland Road),from NC 59 (Hope Mills Road) to SR 1233 (Yale Street) (TIP No.
U-2304A), in Hope Mills, Cumberland County, North Carolina. This report is provided in
accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).
According to the EA, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to
widen SR 1141 from a three-lane, grass shoulder thoroughfare to a five-lane face-to-face curb and
gutter facility for a distance of 3.5 kilometers (2.2 miles). The typical section will provide four
through lanes and continuous left-turn lane. The completed project will be 19.2 meters (64 feet)
wide from curb face to curb face, with a 3.0 meter (10-foot) grass berm on each side.
Purpose and Need
The EA points out that existing SR 1141 currently operates at a low level of service (i.e. there is a
greater traffic volume than the road can adequately handle) and this problem will only become
more severe in the foreseeable future. This project will alleviate congestion and improve safety
along SR 1141, thus improving the level of service.
The Service concurs that the primary purpose and needs for this project have been adequately
stated and supported by written discussion and tabular data.
Al -5
Alternatives Analysis
In addition to the Do Nothing and Postponement Alternatives, four alternatives were carried
forward for further consideration, (symmetrical widening, north side widening, south side
widening, and a combination of these three). All alternatives considered were either on, or }
immediately adjacent to, the existing road. The major differences were in right-of-way and
wetland impacts. However, wetland impacts are minimal; 0.35 acre and 89 feet of linear impact
along Buckhead Creek (the only stream crossing) for the symmetrical alternative, 0.25 acre and
24 feet of linear impact for the north side widening, and 0.5 acre and 89 feet of linear impact for
the south side widening.
After further assessment, symmetrical widening was chosen because it had the least amount of
right-of-way impacts and was a compromise on wetland impacts. The Service concurs with this
decision. However, the Service retains the right to recommend other alternatives, if data not
contained in this EA become available, and to provide comments on the final alignment of the
highway within the corridor selected.
Wetlands
As required by the Clean Water Act Section 404(b)(1) guidelines of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, the NCDOT should first endeavor to avoid, then minimize, and finally
compensate for wetland losses that would be incurred if this project is implemented. As noted in
Table 3 (pg. 10), there will be a small amount of wetland loss and streamside impact associated
with construction of the preferred alternative. The EA (pg. 10) presents measures that the
NCDOT has committed to for avoidance and minimization of wetland losses. These include
selection of an alternative that minimizes encroachment into wetlands in the project corridor,
siting the project as close to the existing right-of-way as practicable, and the use of Best
Management Practices for Protection of Surface Waters.
Because of the minimal wetland and streamside impacts, the NCDOT expects to apply for a
Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33 (CFR 330.5(a)(14)) because: (1) wetland impact is limited
to approximately one-third (0.35) acre; (2) streamside impact is less than 200 linear feet; and,
(3) the crossing of Buckhead Creek will be appropriately culverted.
Endangered Species
The Service notes that the EA provides a detailed discussion (pgs. 18-25) of the potential project
related impacts on federally-listed threatened and endangered, and candidate, species. The
NCDOT has reviewed the Service's map of known occurrences of federally-protected species in
Cumberland County, and of seven species shown, only one, the red-cockaded woodpecker
(RCW) (Picoides borealis), has been recorded in proximity to the project site. As the project site
is highly developed and urbanized, and there are no open old growth stands of southern pines
within the project area, NCDOT has concluded (pgs.19-20) that the project will have no effect on
Al-6
this species. The Service concurs with this determination. However, this decision would be
reconsidered if additional information on listed species that could be impacted by this project
comes to light, or if there is a significant change in project plans.
Section 4(f)
Section 4(0 of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 specifies that the Secretary of
Transportation may not approve the use of land from any publicly owned park, recreational area,
wildlife and waterfowl refuge, or other designated area, purchased all, or in part, with federal
funds unless a determination has been made that: (1) there is no feasible and prudent alternative to
the use of the land from the property; and, (2) the action includes all possible planning to minimize
harm to the property from such use. The NCDOT has determined that this project will not use
any property from any resource protected by Section 4(f). The Service concurs with this
determination.
Summary
The Service considers that this EA adequately addresses the existing fish and wildlife resources
and the potential impacts of this proposed project on these resources. Based on the information
provided, the Service concludes that this project, implemented as described, will not have
significant impact on resources under our jurisdiction, and would not oppose Department of the
Army authorization of this project under Nationwide Permit #33.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on the project. Please advise us of any
changes in project plans and provide us with your response to any issues we have raised in this
letter. If you have any questions regarding these comments, contact Tom McCartney at (919)

Subject: Environmental Assessment for SR 1141 (Cumberland Road) Widening from

Cumberland County
State Project No. 8.24.4150 1, T.I.P. No. U-2304A
DENR # 98-0764, DWQ # 12099
The referenced document has been reviewed by this office.-.. The Division of Water
Quality (.DWQ) is responsible for issuance of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for
activities which impact waters of the state including wetlands. The proposed work described
within this EA includes symmetrical widening of 2.2 miles of SR 1141 from NC 59 to SR 1233
(T.I.P.1\o. U-2304A). The widening of an additional 0.34 mile of SR 1141 from West of
SR 1344 to SR 1007 will be discussed in a separate document (U-2304B). The segment
discussed bereia will involve up to 0.35 acre of till in riparian wetlands associated with the
extension of an existing perennial stream crossing. DWQ offers the following comments based
upon review of the document:
A) DOT studied three alternatives, all of which would require further encroachment (0.25 to
0.50 acre fill in wetlands plus 89 linear feet of stream loss) on Buckhead Creek and its
associated wetlands. Although the selected alternative is not the least damaging to
wetlands, we concur that it represents the most practical alternative considering local
social and environmental factors.
B) DOT anticipates approval of this work under Nationwide Permit 14 (General
Certification 3106); however, the anticipated 0.35 acre impact exceeds the 0.33 acre
threshold for Nationwide Permit 14. Unless this impact is reduced, the project would
iy require submittal of an Individual Permit application. We strongly encourage DOT to
?Yl reduce the footprint of this project at the Buckhead Creek crossing to minimize impacts
t® \ ?? Q) on wetlands and the stream. This could have the added benefit to DOT of reducing the
time required to process a Nationwide versus an Individual Permit.

C) Based upon the impacts described in the EA, neither wetland nor stream mitigation will
likely be required for this project; however, DOT should note that if total project impacts
for T.I.P. Nos. U-2304A and B together exceed 1.0 acre of fill in wetlands, mitigation
will be required in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h)(2). DOT is also advised
that, in accordance with DWQ Wetland Rules, 115A NCAC 2H.0506(h)(3) ), the
Wetland Restoration Pr Drant will be available to use for wetland mitigation.
D) We ask DOT to provide a discussion of the anticipated construction methodology at the
Buckhead Creek crossing. DWQ discourages placement of temporary fill in this wetland
if at all possible. DOT is advised that full restoration (including removal of fill material
and planting/monitoring of vegetation) of temporary fill areas exceeding one acre will be
required in accordance with Condition #4 of Cxneral Certification 3114 (Nationwide
Permit 33). All, temporary fill material must be removed from construction access areas.
On May 27, 1997, DWQ submitted to DOT a d=aft restoration policy for temporary
impact areas. We anticipate finalization of this policy prior to construction of this
project.
Based upon the project description provided in the EA, a 401 Water Quality Certification
will be required for this project. Final permit authorization will require formal application by
NCDOT and written concurrence from DNVQ. Please be aware that this approval will be
contingent upon evidence of avoidance and minimization of wetland and stream impacts to the
extent practical, and provision of wetland and stream mitigation where necessary.
DWQ appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the EA. DOT is reminded
that issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification requires satisfaction of water quality concerns,
to ensure that water quality standards are met and no wetland or stream uses are lost. Questions
regarding the "01 Certification Program should be directed to Cyndi Bell at [phone] or
Cvnd^, i Bell @h?o.z. r.state.ne.us in DWQ's Water Quality Environmental Sciences Branch.

Project No. 98-E-0764.
Staff biologists with the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject EA and
are familiar with habitat values in the project area. The purpose of this review was to assess project
impacts to fish and wildlife resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions
of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination
Act (48 Stat_ 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
NCDOT proposes to widen SR 1141 from a three-lane shoulder section to a five-lane curb and
gutter section from NC 59 to SR 1233. The project length is approximately 2.2 miles Projected wetland
impacts for the recommended alternative total approximately 0.35 acres.
We support NCDOT in the decision to improve existing facilities rather than to construct new
highways. NCDOT should minimize wetland impacts to the maximum extent practicable and should use
best management practices to protect wetlands and surface waters outside the project limits.
At this time, we concur with the EA for this project. and anticipate our concurrence with the
upcoming Finding of No Significant Impact.

Dear Mr. Gilmore:

The City of Fayetteville is interested in participating in the construction of sidewalk for the
widening of Hope Mills Road/NC 59, Project U-2308 and Cumberland Road/SRI 141,
Project U-2304A as per the policy guidelines established by DOT.
The project includes territory within the City of Fayetteville, Town of Hope Mills and
unincorporated portion of Cumberland County. However, the unincorporated area will be
annexed by Fayetteville or Hope Mills in the near future. Both municipalities realize and
understand the benefits associated with sidewalks along busy thoroughfares. I feel
confident an arrangement could be agreed upon by Fayetteville and Hope Mills in
conjunction with these two projects.
On behalf of Fayetteville, I would like to highlight the reasons DOT should participate
with the municipalities on the construction of sidewalk for these two projects.
1. The City Council of Fayetteville has established a sidewalk policy which includes the
establishment of a sidewalk on one side of the street of a thoroughfare.
2. The City of Fayetteville has participated on past joint efforts with DOT on
widening projects.
3. The sidewalk construction for these two projects will connect to other thoroughfares
that have sidewalk. In addition, these two widening projects meet at the
intersection of Hope Mills Road/NC 59 and Cumberland Road/SRI 141. By
providing sidewalk on both projects it will link safe pedestrian access for a
large segment of the community.

4. As mentioned in item 3, the connection of the two projects makes it critical to
include the sidewalk for both projects.
There are many businesses that are located along both roads. In addition, large
housing areas are located behind these commercial establishments. Sherwood Park
Elementary School and J.W. Coon School are located on Hope Mills Road. The
Fayetteville City Council has made a commitment to provide sidewalks in the
vicinity of schools.
6. The current pedestrian traffic is forced to walk on the shoulder of the road. The
additional lanes will eliminate most of the walking area. A sidewalk is required to
safely facilitate the pederstrian movement.
7. The traffic count is approaching 20,000 average daily trips for each road. The
traffic is likely to increase as more and more development occurs in this area.
The City of Fayetteville looks forward to participating on both projects. Your attention on
this matter is most helpful.
If you have any questions, please call me at [phone].

PURPOSE OF PROJECT
The purpose of this project is to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety for the project
area, thereby improving the level of service. Traffic volumes through this area are projected
to exceed 21,800 vehicles/day east of Boone Trail and 34,000 vehicles/day west of Pine
Springs Drive within the next twenty years. The current accident rate through the project area
is approximately three times higher than similar type roads located throughout North Carolina.
The proposed improvements will benefit the region and local community by providing safer
and more efficient travel through the area.
PURPOSE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Tonight's hearing is one step in the Department of Transportation's procedure for making you,
the public, a part of the planning process. The Department of Transportation is soliciting your
views on the proposed widening/improvements of Cumberland Road from NC 59 (Hope Mills
Road) to Yale Street.
The Department of Transportation's views on the above project are set forth in the
environmental document - Environmental Assessment A copy of this report is available for
public review in the North Carolina Department of Transportation's Division Office located at
558 Gillespie Street in Fayetteville.
YOUR PARTICIPATION
Now that the opportunity is here, you are encouraged to participate by by making your

Everyone present is urged to participate in the proceedings. It is important, however, that
THE OPINIONS OF ALL INDIVIDUALS BE RESPECTED REGARDLESS OF HOW
DIVERGENT THEY MAY BE FROM YOUR OWN. Accordingly, debates, as such are out of
place at public hearings. Also, the public hearing is not to be used as a POPULAR
REFERENDUM to determine the alignment by a majority vote of those present.
A2-5
WHAT IS DONE WITH THE INPUT?
A post-hearing meeting will be conducted after the comment period has ended. This meeting
will be attended by NCDOT staff representing Planning, Design, Traffic, Right of Way,
Citizens Participation, and others who play a role in the development of a project. When
appropriate, representatives from the Federal Highway Administration and local governmental
officials also attend.
All spoken and written issues are discussed at this meeting. Most issues are resolved at the
post hearing meeting. The Department of Transportation considers safety, costs, traffic
service, social impacts, and public comments in making decisions. Complex issues may
require additional study and may be reviewed by higher management, Board of Transportation
Members, and/or the Secretary of Transportation.
Minutes of the post-hearing meeting are prepared and this summary is available to the public.
You may request this document on the attached comment sheet.
STATE-FEDERAL RELATIONSHIP
This proposed project is a Federal Aid Highway Project and thus will be constructed under the
State-Federal Aid Highway Program. Financing of this project will be 80% Federal Funds and
20% State Funds. The Board of Transportation is responsible for the selection and
scheduling of projects on the Federal Aid System, their location, design, and maintenance
cost after construction. The Federal Highway Administration is responsible for the review and
approval of the previously mentioned activities to ensure that each Federal Aid Project is
designed, constructed, and maintained to Federal Aid Standards.

APPENDIX 3
Relocation Report and Information
DIVISION OF HIGHWAY RELOCATION PROGRAMS
With the Relocation Assistance Program, experienced NCDOT staff will be
available to assist displacees with information such as availability and prices of homes,
apartments, or businesses for sale or rent and financing or other housing programs. The
Relocation Moving Payments Program, in general, provides for payment of actual
moving expenses encountered in relocation. Where displacement will force an owner or
tenant to purchase or rent property of higher cost or to lose a favorable financing
arrangement (in cases of ownership), the Relocation Replacement Housing Payments or
Rent Supplement Program will compensate up to $22,500 to owners who are eligible and
qualify and up to $5,250 to tenants who are eligible and qualify.
The relocation program for the proposed action will be conducted in accordance
with the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property acquisition Policies
Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-646) and the North Carolina Relocation Assistance Act (GS-
133-5 through 133-18). The program is designed to provide assistance to displaced
persons in relocating to a replacement site in which to live or do business. At least one
relocation officer is assigned to each highway project for this purpose.
The relocation officer will determine the needs of displaced families, individuals,
businesses, non-profit organizations, and farm operations for relocation assistance
advisory services without regard to race. color, religion, sex, or national origin. The
NCDOT will schedule its work to allow ample time, prior to displacement, for
negotiations and possession of replacement housing which meets decent, safe, and
sanitary standards. The displacees are given at least a 90-day written notice after
NCDOT purchases the property. Relocation of displaced persons will be offered in areas
not generally less desirable in regard to public utilities and commercial facilities. Rent
and sale prices of replacement property will be within the financial means of the families
and individuals displaced and will be reasonably accessible to their places of
employment. The relocation officer will also assist owners of displaced businesses, non-
profit organizations, and farm operations in searching for and moving to replacement
property.
All tenant and owner residential occupants who may be displaced will receive. an
explanation regarding ail avaiiaoic vt,,:,,ns, such as (1) purchase of replacement housing,
(2) rental of replacement housing, either private or public, or (3) moving existing owner-
occupant housing to another site (if possible). The relocation officer will also supply
information concerning other state or federal programs offering assistance to displaced
persons and will provide other advisory services as needed in order to minimize hardships
to displaced persons in adjusting to a new location.
The Moving Expense Payments Program is designed to compensate the displacee
for the costs of moving personal property from homes, businesses, non-profit
organizations, and farm operations acquired for a highway project. Under the
Replacement Program for Owners, NCDOT will participate in reasonable incidental
purchase payments for replacement dwellings such as attorney's fees, surveys, appraisals,
and other closing costs and, if applicable, make a payment for any increased interest
expenses for replacement dwellings. Reimbursement to owner- occupants for
replacement housing payments, increased interest payments, and incidental purchase
expenses may not exceed $22,500 (combined total), except under the Last Resort
Housing provision.
A3-1
It is a policy of the state that no person will be displaced by the NCDOT's state or
federally-assisted construction projects unless and until comparable replacement housing
has been offered or provided for each displacee within a reasonable period of time prior
to displacement. No relocation payment received will be considered as income for the
purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 or for the purposes of determining
eligibility or the extent of eligibility of any person for assistance under the Social
- - - Security Act or any other federal law. =
Last Resort Housing is a program used when comparable replacement housing is
not available, or when it is unavailable within the displacee's financial means, and the
replacement payment exceeds the federal/state legal limitation. The purpose of the
program is to allow broad latitudes in methods of implementation by the state so
that decent, safe, and sanitary replacement housing can be provided.

To: Melba McGee
Through: John DornFrom: John Hennessy
Subject: Comments on the EA for Hope Mills SR 1141 (Cumberland Road) from NC 59 to SR
1233 (Yale Street), Cumberland County, Federal Aid Project # STP-1141(3), State Project
# 8.2441501, TIP Project # U-2304A, DENR Project Number 99E-0669
This office has reviewed the referenced document. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is responsible
for the issuance of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for activities that impact Waters of the U.S.,
including wetlands. Completion of the project as proposed in the Environmental Assessment and FONSI
will require the replacement of one existing culvert. Preliminary analysis of the project reveals that the
proposed culvert is located in Cumberland County and will span Buckhead Creek in the Cape Fear River
Basin. The DWQ index number for the waterbody is 18-31-24-6 and the stream is classified as class C
waters. At this time the DWQ concurs with the "Finding of No Significant Impact" determination. The
DWQ offers the following comments based on review of the aforementioned document:
A) Prior to an issuance of the 401 Water Quality Certification, the NCDOT is respectfully reminded
that they will need to demonstrate the avoidance and minimization of impacts to wetlands (and
streams) to the maximum extent practical. Based on the impacts described in the document,
wetland mitigation may not be required for this project. Should the impacts to jurisdictional
wetlands exceed 1.0 acres, mitigation may be required in accordance with NCDWQ Wetland Rules
{ 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h)(2) }.
B) Anticipated impacts to streams will not require mitigation. However, should mitigation be
required due to an unforeseen circumstance, it would de dictated in accordance with the NCDWQ
Wetlands Rules 115A NCAC 2H.0506(b)(6). Mitigation will be required for impacts of greater
than 150 linear feet to any single perennial stream. In the event that mitigation is required, the
mitigation plan should be designed to replace appropriate lost functions and values. In accordance
with the NCDWQ Wetlands Rules { 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h)(3) }, the Wetland Restoration
Program may be available for use as stream mitigation.
C) Where streams must be crossed, the DWQ prefers bridges be used in lieu of culverts. However,
we realize that economic considerations often require the use of culverts. Please be advised that
culverts should be countersunk to allow unimpeded passage by fish and other aquatic organisms.
D) Sediment and erosion control measures should not be placed in wetlands.

Page 2
E) Borrow/waste areas should avoid wetlands to the maximum extent practicable. Impacts to
wetlands in borrow/waste areas could precipitate compensatory mitigation.
F) The 401 Water Quality Certification application will need to specifically address the proposed
methods for stormwater management. More specifically, stormwater should not be permitted to
discharge directly into the creek. Instead, stormwater should be designed to drain to a properly
designed stormwater detention facility/apparatus.
G) The 401 certification application should include information regarding the proposed stilling basin;
more specifically, the data used to size the basin should be included.
H) The reasoning developed and included in the FONSI regarding the construction plan for the
Buckhead Creek crossing (p.9 in the FONSI) seems to be very well done. However, the DWQ
would like to see with the 401 Water Quality Certification application, a map of appropriate scale
that displays the identified constraints presented in the discussion (P.9 of the FONSI). The
purpose for the map and sizing data is to demonstrate that no practical alternative exists for placing
the stilling basin in a wetland (as proposed on p.9 of the FONSI).
I) If placement of a stilling basin in the wetland is approved, then the DOT will need to commit to the
removal of the temporary fill after construction, the restoration of the original contours, and the
revegetation of the wetland.
J) Based on the information presented in the document, the magnitude of impacts to wetlands and
streams will allow the use of Nationwide Permits and their corresponding 401 Water Quality
Certification(s). Please be advised that a 401 Water Quality Certification requires satisfactory
protection of water quality to ensure that water quality standards are met and no wetland or stream
uses are lost. Final permit authorization will require the submittal of a formal application by the
NCDOT and written concurrence from the NCDWQ. Please be aware that any approval will be
contingent on appropriate avoidance and minimization of wetland and stream impacts to the
maximum extent practical and inclusion of appropriate mitigation where necessary.
The NCDWQ appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on your project. Should you have any
questions or require any additional information, please contact John Hennessy at [phone].

Subject: Nationwide 12 Permit Application: Cumberland County, Fayetteville -
SR 1141 (Cumberland Rd) from NC 59 (Hope Mills Rd) to 530' West of
SR 1233 (Yale Street). State Project 82441501, Federal Aid Project STP-
1141 (3). TIP No. U-2304A.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to widen DR 1141 .
from a three-lane, grassed shoulder thoroughfare to a five-lane, face-to-face curb and
gutter facility for a distance of 2.18 miles. No jurisdictional wetlands will be affected by
the construction of the project. A small area of jurisdictional stream (0.05 acres) will be
impacted. This impact qualified for a Nationwide 14 permit with no notification required
since it was under the 0.1 acre limit required for a PCN under the NW 14 permit
regulation.
Project design requires the replacement of an existing utility (sewer) line under
the Buckhead Creek (DWQ Index number 18-31-24-6). The length of line under the creek
will be approximately 12 meters (39.36 feet). Impacts on jurisdictional surface waters
will be temporary. The area to be cleared will be kept to a minimum. Preconstruction
contours will be restored. All material resulting from excavation will be placed so that it
is not dispersed by currents or other forces. Any excess material will be removed to
upland areas and exposed stream banks stabilized immediately upon completion.
