Dear Colonel DeLony:

This is in response to the above referenced"public notice, dated April 27, 2000. According
to the public notice, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to
fill S.43 acres of riverine wetlands and 770 linear feet of perennial stream for the relocation of 2.4
miles of US 64 between near Williamston, Martin County, North. Carolina.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4 Wetlands Section (EPA), has
reviewed this proposal; and believes that the mitigation ratio should, at a minimum, be 2:1 for
forested wetland restoration. A typical mitigation site is monitored for five years. For forested
swamp restoration, the planted trees will certainly require longer than five years to become a
typical mature forested wetland. Because of the temporal lag in functions of the mitigation site
and the risk of failure, EPA does not believe that 1:1 mitigation ratio is adequate. Further, the
project should not be authorized until the mitigation plan is approved.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. If you have an questions
regarding these comments, please contact Kathy Matthews at the above address or by telephone
at [phone].

NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-500 and
95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Regulations in 15
NCAC 2H, Section .0500. This certification is a modification to Certification No. 3281 issued to the North Carolina
Department of Transportation on April 11, 2000. The attached modification authorizes additional impacts to 0.04
acres of jurisdictional wetlands. This project shall be constructed as described in your application dated June 5,
2002. This modification is applicable only to the additional proposed activities. All the authorized activities and
conditions of certification associated with the original Water Quality Certification dated April 11, 2000, and all
other corresponding modifications still apply except where superceded by this certification.
The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the proposed wetlands in
conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards and
discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the applicable
portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the
application and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application, as described in the
Public Notice. Should your project change, you are required to notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If
the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby
responsible for complying with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future exceed
one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this
approval to remain valid, you are required to comply with all the conditions listed below. In addition, you should
obtain all other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project including (but not limited to)
Sediment and Erosion control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-discharge and Water Supply watershed regulations.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the most
recent version of two manuals. Either the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and
Design Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Mining Manual" (available from the Division of Land
Resources in the DEHNR Regional or Central Offices). The control practices shall be utilized to prevent
exceedances of the appropriate turbidity water quality standard (50 NTUs in all fresh water streams and
rivers not designated as trout waters; 25 NTUs in all lakes and reservoirs, and all saltwater classes; and 10
NTUs in trout waters);
2. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters shall be removed and the natural
grade restored after the Division of Land Resources has released the project;
3. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
4. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with
this permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or borrow sites be located in
wetlands or stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is a direct impact from road
construction activities;
5. Additional compensatory mitigation is not required from the NC Division of Water Quality for this
modification.
6. All other conditions written into previous Water Quality Certifications for this project still apply.

Dear Mr.Bell,

SUBJECT: Minor Modification Request to Department of the Army Permit No.
199601404 for the proposed relocation of US 64 on the north side of
Williamston; Martin County; TIP No. R-2112BB; Project No. 6099002T,
DWQ Project No. 960214.
As you are aware, this project was authorized under Department of the Army
Permit No. 199601404 on July 2, 1996 and again on July 10, 2000. During the
construction of this project a need to modify the referenced permit has been identified.
A temporary construction work pad is needed to set the steel girders at bent No. 3
for the bridge on ramp A. Each girder is 6' high with 1'6" flanges. The distance from CL
of bearing to CL of bearing is 127.88'- 132.09'. This varies due to the bridge being
located in a curve. These girders are spliced together using large bolts. The girder lengths
are 87.49'- 90.39'. The weight of the girders is approximately 37,9841b-39,244 lb.
It will require three cranes to set the girders. There will be two 100-ton cranes on each
end of the girder to lift it into place. One of these cranes will have to be in the wetland .
area at the end of the girder. There will be a 50 ton crane used to hold the girder on the
caps until a second girder is set in place with the two 100 ton cranes. The steel
diaphragms will then be bolted to stabilize the girders.
The NCDOT has evaluated several options for setting the bridge girders. Utilizing the
existing embankment was evaluated. However, the contractor does not think the work
can be done safely off of the top of the embankment because the boom of each 100-ton
crane would have to be extended too far in order to reach the girder for lifting it into
place. The cranes would have to lean over the embankment for 40'-45', while supporting
close to 40,000 lbs of steel girder.

J,4,0,Thesl DOT also evaluated using standard logging mats to support the cranes while in`
the wetland area. However, it was determined that mats could not be used because the
.:>weight of the crane and girder would be too much for the mats to support. The NCDOT
believes the only safe way to set the girders is to access this area with 4' of fill so that a
level and stable construction area can be established. The total area needed for the
temporary work pad is 1,759.39 square feet (0.04 acres).
The placement of the girders is expected to take a maximum of 60 days. The amount of
settlement will be less than 0.15'. This is based on the settlement gauge readings at an
adjacent end bent. The total settlement was 0.15' for an earthen embankment that was
24.5' high with a 6 month waiting period. After construction of the girders is complete, all
material will be removed and the area restored to natural ground. Since this will be a
temporary activity within an extremely small area, the NCDOT does not propose
mitigation for this activity.
Please find. enclosed the revised construction drawings for the proposed
construction access. The NCDOT hereby requests that Permit No. 199601404 be
modified to reflect the changes described above. By copy of this letter, the Department is
also requesting that the North Carolina Division of Water Quality revise the Section 401
Water Quality Certification Accordingly. A check in the amount of $475.00 is attached
to cover the processing fee. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Mr.Bell,
SUBJECT: Minor Modification Request to Department of the Army Permit No.
199601404 for the proposed relocation of US 64 on the north side of
Williamston; Martin County; TIP No. R-2112BB; Project No. 6099002T,
DWQ Project No. 960214.
As you are aware, this project was authorized under Department of the Army
Permit No. 199601404 on July 2, 1996 and again on July 10, 2000. During the
construction of this project a need to modify the referenced permit has been identified.
A temporary construction work pad is needed to set the steel girders at bent No. 3
for the bridge on ramp A. Each girder is 6' high with 1'6" flanges. The distance from CL
of bearing to CL of bearing is 127.88' - 132.09'. This varies due to the bridge being
located in a curve. These girders are spliced together using large bolts. The girder lengths
are 87.49'- 90.39'. The weight of the girders is approximately 37,9841b-39,244 lb.
It will require three cranes to set the girders. There will be two 100-ton cranes on each
end of the girder to lift it into E.e. One of these cranes will have to be in the wetland .
area at the end of the girder. There will be a 50 ton crane used to hold the girder on the
caps until a second girder is set in lace with the two 100 ton cranes. The steel
diaphragms will then be bolted to stabilize the girders.
The NCDOT has evaluated several options for setting the bridge girders. Utilizing the
existing embankment was evaluated. However, the contractor does not think the work
can be done safely off of the top of the embankment because the boom of each 100-ton
crane would have to be extended too far in order to reach the girder for lifting it into
place. The cranes would have to lean over the embankment for 40'-45', while supporting
close to 40,000 lbs of steel girder.

The NCDOT also evaluated using standard logging mats to support the cranes while in
the wetland area. However, it was determined that mats could not be used because the
weight of the crane and girder would be too much for the mats to support. The NCDOT
believes the only safe way to set the girders is to access this area with 4' of fill so that a
level and stable construction area can be established. The total area needed for the
temporary work pad is 1,759.39 square feet (0.04 acres).
The placement of the girders is expected to take a maximum of 60 days. The amount of
settlement will be less than 0.15'. This is based on the settlement gauge readings at an
adjacent end bent. The total settlement was 0.15' for an earthen embankment that was
24.5' high with a 6 month waiting period. After construction of the girders is complete, all
material will be removed and the area restored to natural ground. Since this will be a
temporary activity within an extremely small area, the NCDOT does not propose
mitigation for this activity.
Please find enclosed the revised construction drawings for the proposed
construction access. The NCDOT hereby requests that Permit No. 199601404 be
modified to reflect the changes described above. By copy of this letter, the Department is
also requesting that the North Carolina Division of Water Quality revise the Section 401
Water Quality Certification Accordingly. A check in the amount of $475.00 is attached
to cover the processing fee. Thank you for your time and consideration.

NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-
500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500. The attached modification authorizes additional impacts to
2.86 acres of jurisdictional wetlands in Martin County. The project shall be constructed pursuant to the
application filed on the February 21, 2001 for the relocation of US 64 from SR 1138 south of Everetts to US
13-17 north of Williamston. It should be noted the modification is applicable only to the additional
proposed activities. All the authorized activities and conditions of certification associated with the original
Water Quality Certification dated April 11, 2000, and all other corresponding modifications still apply
except where superceded by this certification.
The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the proposed wetlands in
conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality
Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will
not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if
conducted in accordance with the application and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application, as described
in the Public Notice. Should your project change, you are required to notify the DWQ and submit a new
application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval
letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project
(now or in the future exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you are required to comply with all the
conditions listed below. In addition, you should obtain all other federal, state or local permits before
proceeding with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion control, Coastal
Stormwater, Non-discharge and Water Supply watershed regulations.
Condition(s) of Certification:
Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the
most recent version of two manuals. Either the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Mining Manual" (available from
the Division of Land Resources in the DEHNR Regional or Central Offices). The control
practices shall be utilized to prevent exceedances of the appropriate turbidity water quality
standard (50 NTUs in all fresh water streams and rivers not designated as trout waters; 25 NTUs
in all lakes and reservoirs, and all saltwater classes; and 10 NTUs in trout waters);
2. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters shall be removed and
the natural grade restored after the Division of Land Resources has released the project;
3. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
4. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters
associated with this permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or
borrow sites be located in wetlands or stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is
a direct impact from road construction activities;
Compensatory mitigation for impacts to 2.86 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. At a replacement
ratio of 2:1 mitigation for 5.72 acres of jurisdictional wetlands shall be provided with an in lieu
payment to the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program (NCWRP). The NC Wetlands
Restoration Program shall provide mitigation for 5.72 acres of Cypress-Gum Swamp Forest
(Blackwater Type). In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R.0500, the contribution will satisfy our
compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 214.0506(h). Until the Wetland
Restoration Program receives and clears your check (made payable to DENR - Wetland

Restoration Program), wetland or stream fill shall not occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell should be contacted

R-2112bb permit modifications
Subject: R-2112bb permit modifications
Date: Wed, 11 Apr 200109:30:43 -0400
From: Kristen Shacochis <khhacochis@dot. state.nc.us>
Organization: North Carolina Department of Transportation
To: [e-mail], Michael F Bell <[e-mail]>,
"Robert (Bob) E. Capehart" <bcppehart @dot.state.nc.us> ,
"Don R. Conner" <dconner @dot. state.nc.us>
As I stated on your voice mail, there is one change in the 196
pipe (located on page 9 of 12 of your modification sheets).
Field observations showed that the larger permitted 66" pipe
would require more fill (in height) needed to cover the pipe at
the ramp crossing. This pipe is proposed to be changed from a
single 66" pipe to two 136 linear feet of 48" RCP in a dual line
setup. The total length will be 136 linear feet of impact (at
this pipe) with a maximum of 10 linear feet of rip rap at the
outlet. Already permitted stream impacts occur at pipe 180
(located on page 5 of 12 of your modification sheets) the stream
will be impacted for 244 linear feet with an additional 10 linear
feet of rip-rap to prevent scour. The total length of impact
(both permitted and proposed) is less than 550 linear feet of
impact. The NC DOT has provided compensation for 770 linear feet
of impact within the original permit, well above the actual
stream impacts. There are no other stream impacts in this
project. All other rip-rap proposed will occur within the
blackwater swamp areas and therefore should be viewed as wetland
impacts, not streams and has been compesated as such. The
rip-rap will be placed a maximum of 10 linear feet from the pipe
and the impact is listed within the table provided in the permit
modifications.
As stated previously, the stream excavation on page 5 of 12 of
the modification sheets will not be performed. Field adjustments
to alignment and grade on the crossline pipe will eliminate the
need for channel excavation. This should be added as a special
condition within the permit modification.
WRP has accepted the additional 2.86 acres of additional wetlands
to be compensated in a 2:1 ratio, making for a total of 5.72
acres of wetland restoration within the Roanoke River basin (HUC
03010107). Written notification should have been sent to both
Michael Bell of the ACOE and John Hennessy of DWQ. If you do not
have this please contact Jeff Jurek for a copy [phone].
The "in-kind" mitigation requirement should also be added as a
special condition within the permit modification. In kind
mitigation is to be coordinated between the agencies and WRP.
Please call Jeff Jurek [phone] if you have any questions.
If you have any question please advise.

MEMORANDUM TO: R. E. Capehart, P. E.

FROM: C. W. Bridgers, Jr., P. E.
Resident Engineer
SUBJECT: Ramp 3C - Permit Issues, Twin 48" Culverts
As per your request, the following information and pictures are submitted:
• The original plans required a single 66" culvert under ramp 3C.
• When the 66" pipe was staked for construction, it was discovered a 66" pipe would not fit in
this area. The elevation of the existing ground was approximately 10.5' and the proposed
shoulder point was approximately 13.5'. It was readily apparent that 3' was not sufficient to
install a 66" (5.5' culvert)
• NCDOT Roadway Design and Hydraulics Units were contacted to correct the problem.
• It was the design recommendation an alternate design of two 48" culverts be installed in lieu
of the single 66" culvert. The two 48" culverts have the same flow characteristics as the
originally planned 66" culvert, and were deemed necessary to handle the flow through the
area while allowing adequate cover over the pipe and a 12" bury of the flowline.
• The stream in this areas flows across a wide area, and not in a definitive channel. This can be
observed in the pictures attached.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact this office at [phone].

SMELT: Request for'VW Authorized Correction to February 21, 2001 letter
confirming compensation credit awarded to Department of Transportation for R-2112BB
(Williamston Bypass project)
On February 21, 2001 Department of Transportation was issued a notice that NC
WRP will accept payment for 2.86 acres of wetland impacts associated with R-211213B
project. The letter also conf=ed that 5.26 acres will be used. for compensation for these
impacts. Since this was not in a 2:1 ratio, it needs to be changed to 5.72 acres of wetland
restoration. This was corrected verbally by bike Bell of tbo ALOE, Phi.ll Harris of the
NCDOT and Ron Ferrell of the DWQ on February 22, 2001, but there was never written
notification. At this time the NCDOT requests this written notification of the change in
impacts.
In order to satisfy regulatory assurances that mitigation will be performed, the
DWQ requires a formal. letter from the WRP indicating their willing and ability to
provide the mitigation. work requested, by NC DOT. This letter should be addressed to
Mr. John Dorney ofDWQ, with copies submitted to NC DOT and Mr. Mike Bell of
USACI.
If you have any questions or need additional infonnation, please contact me
immediately. Thank you, for your cooperation in this manner.

SUBJECT; Request for WRP Authorized Correction to February 21, 2001 letter
confirming compensation credit awarded to Department of Transportation for R 2112BB
(Williamston Bypass project)
On February 21, 2001 Department of Transpo tion was issued a notice that NC
WRP will accept payment for 2.86 acres of wetland ' pacts associated with R-2112138
project. The letter also confirmed that 5.26 acres will be used for compensation for these
impacts. Since this was not in a 2:1 ratio, it needs to a changed to 5.72 acres of wetland
restoration. This was corrected verbally by Milne Bel of the ACOE, Phill Hards of the
NCDOT and Ron Ferrell of the DWQ on February 22 2001, but there was never written
notification. At this time the NCDOT t equests this 'tten notification of the change in
impacts. I
In order to satisfy regulatory' assurances that 'tigation will be performed, the
DWQ requires a formal letter from the WRP indicatin their willing. and ability to
provide the mitigation work requested by NC DOT. his letter should be addressed to
Mr. John Dorney of DWQ, with copies subm.itte TM- , ""?T and Mr, Mike Bell of
USACE. €

Subject: DWQ #'a: 960214, 05 and 010199
Tip ff: R-2112B13
COP. Permit #: 199601404
County: Martin
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that ebo N h Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program
(NCWRP) will accept payment for -wetland impacts associated wth the subject project in accordance with the
Memorandum of Understanding between the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources and the U.S. Array Corps of Engineers dated Novem er 4, 1998. Acceptance of this mitigation
requiretflrettt is contitagent upon the US Army Carps of'Fugirr combining this mitigation requireinent
with the mitigation requirements previously accepted by NC for the subject project. Payment for
the initial compensatory mitigation requirement was rscei by NCWRP on September 27, 2000.
Therefore all of the compensatory mitigation requiremen assumed by NCWRP for COE permit
#19%01404 will be instituted as defined by the hfimoranu..,,. ,,. vaderstanding by September 27, 2002.
The NCWRP trequests that the USACOR include- language iiTle permit that Indicates approval of the
date. ff
Based on information supplied by yotr-in a letter dated 1 blmary 20, 2001, an application requesting
authorization to impact an additional 2.86 acres of Wetlands has n submitted for the subject project. The
NCWRP ill provide mitigation as specified in the 401 Water Q icy Certification and/or Section 404 permit
(up to 5 acres.9f wetlands restoration) for impacts associated with the subject project in Cataloging Unit

Re: Modification to the relocation of US 64 from SR 1138 south of Everetts to US 13-17 north of
Williamston in Martin County
DWQ No. 010199; TIP No. R-2112 BB.
Dear Mr. Conner:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your submittal for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the
aforementioned project. Review of your application revealed it lacking necessary information required for
making an informed permit decision. The permit application was deficient in the following areas:
• The proposed impacts to streams may be inaccurate. The proposed modification lists no additional
impacts to streams. However, the drawings presented in the proposed modification show areas of rip
rap placement in the streams that was not previously permitted. Any additional impacts to streams will
necessitate appropriate steam mitigation, since the original impacts for the same stream segment were
greater than 150 linear feet,
• The proposed modification shows the channelization of a stream at pipe No. 180. The original
Certification does not show the proposed excavation of the stream.
• The application indicates that the NC Wetlands Restoration Program (WRP) will accept the wetland
mitigation for the proposed impacts. However, no correspondence from WRP agreeing to accept the
mitigation has been received. Until we have documentation from WRP that guarantees the proposed
mitigation will be accepted, we do -have a complete mitigation plan.
• The proposed mitigation is for bottomland hardwood wetlands (PF06). The proposed impacts for
project are to cypress-gum (blackwater type) swamp forests. We are not convinced that bottomland
hardwood mitigation represents in-kind replacement for this type of lost wetlands.
Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 2h .0507(a)(5), we will have to place the permit application on hold
until we are supplied the necessary information. Furthermore, until the information is received by the NC
Division of Water Quality, we request (by copy of this letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers place
the permit application on hold.

The NCDOT is requesting modification to the Department of the Army Permit
No. 199601404 issued July 10, 2000. Permanent impacts will occur due to (A) change in
median width from 46 feet to 60 feet within jurisdictional wetlands, (B) fill of slope from
a 2:1 to 3:1 and rip-rap installation as part of the best management practices (C) earth fill
for ramp 3C and ramp 3A, (D) mechanized land clearing, (E) wetland delineation
realignment and (F) proposal for wetland compensation. We have provided a table that
summarizes the amount of proposed wetland impact for each modification, five figure
pages referring to page locations within the project and a vicinity map, 12 pages of
modified permit drawings, a copy of a letter to WRP stating a need for wetlands
compensation, and a check to Department of Water Quality-for permit costs. Note: the
original permit drawing sheet numbers are different from the modified sheets.
Section A: Change in Median Width
This project's permit held a special condition (e) that states "the median width for
the proposed highway will be 46-feet at all locations where the highway crosses
jurisdictional waters". In the original 1996 permit, the project was designed for a typical
60-foot median, including wetlands, and was never redesigned in the 2000 permit to
minimize these wetland impacts, a difference of 0.22 acres. The DOT proposes to use the
60-foot median as shown in the existing permit drawings (page 1,2,3,4,5 of the
modifications). Since the 1996 and 2000 permit drawings show these wetlands as
P.O. Box 850, Edenton, NC 27932 - Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone]
impacted by the 60-foot crossing, the wetlands have already been compensated within the
original mitigation at the Huskanaw mitigation site.
Section B: Fill of Slope from 2:1 to 3:1 and Best Management Practices
Best management practices such as a more gradual slope and rip-rap below the
pipes is proposed to prevent slope failure and erosion. Currently, the permit authorizes
only 2:1 slopes on all shoulders and ramps to minimize initial wetland fill (page
1,2,3,4,5,6,9,11 & 12). The 3:1 slopes although it does have a greater initial impact, will
provide for a more stable shoulder, and thereby minimizing long-term impact to the
wetlands overall. The use of the 3:1 slope will impact 0.50 acres of wetlands.
Rip-rap is proposed to be placed around permitted pipes (pages 1,2,3,4,5,6,9,and
11) at the discharge end of these pipes and will impact 0.08 acres of wetlands. One ditch
will be removed (page 5) to minimize wetland impacts and to allow water to dissipate
over the vegetation before reaching the wetland.
Section C: Earth Fill For Ramp 3C and Ramp 3A
Although the entire area was surveyed and studied by environmental planners to
establish study corridors to avoid wetland impacts, Ramp 3C and Ramp 3A could not
avoid wetland impact. Four wetland crossings are unavoidable due to the fact that these
are floodplains that run perpendicular to the project. These impacts were not calculated
for in the original permit. The ramp 3C will impact 0.56 acres of bottomland (PF06)
wetlands dominated by cypress (Taxiodium distichum) and blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica)
(page 7 & 8). The ramp 3A will impact 0.49 acres of bottomland (PF06) wetlands
composed of red maple (Acer rubrum) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styrij7ua) (Page 10).
Section D: Mechanical Land Clearing
Mechanized land clearing provides a buffer for the project to allow for project
access for positioning best management practices such as silt fences and in cases of
unavoidable impacts such as wetland fill from slope failure or erosion damage. Trees are
cut, but vegetation is allowed to re-establish after project is completed. Total impact
proposed due to mechanized clearing is 1.22 acres (all pages).
Section E: Wetland realignment with Field Observations and Road plans
On page 6, wetlands were realigned with field observations and road plans. The
original permit drawings show the entire intersection within wetlands. Field observations
showed this to bean upland area. The wetland boundary was redefined as the area in
which a thick organic layer overlaid sand. The new line is defined by a sharp contrast in
the amount of organic layer on top of sandy/clay soils. This area in the southwest
quadrant has been re-delineated as upland making a net decrease in wetland impacts of
0.50 acres.
Section F. Compensation
A total of 2.86 acres of PF06 bottomland wetland impacts within the Roanoke
River basin are proposed to be impacted by this modification to the original permit. The
NC DOT will provide compensation for these impacts in a 2:1 ratio as required by the
Division of Water Quality and US Corps of Engineers making for a total of 5.72 acres of
compensation through the VW program. The Corps and DWQ will be notified via a
P.O. Box 850, Edenton, NC 27932 - Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone]
letter from WRP. The original balance of wetland mitigation has been previously
provided through the preservation of 27.15 acres of riverine wetlands at the Huskanaw
Swamp Mitigation Site, 2500 feet of riverine stream compensation credits, and
compensation credits of 5.43 acres of wetland impacts (PFO1) through the Wetland
Restoration Program (WRP).

Project No. 6.099002T, DWQ Proi-ct No. 960214.
Dear Mr. Ferrell:
The North Carolina Department of Transz:7ortation (N- CDOT) requests that the Wetland
Restoration Program (WRP) pe-form we?and mitigation for the proposed completion of US 64,
from US 17 south of Williamstcn, to US :3-17, north side of Williamston in Martin County.
Wetland impacts are 2.86 acres of PF06 ;ottomland wetlands within the Roanoke River basin
Hydrologic Unit X7LMYY. T ese impacts Azll require 2:1 restoration as required by the
Division of Water Quality. Th: balance of wetland mitigation has been previously been
provided through the preservation of 27.'--; acres of riverine wetlands at the Huskanaw Swamp
Mitigation Site, 2500 feet of riN-erne stream compensation credits, and compensation credits of
5.43 acres of wetland impacts (?FO1) through WRP.
M ! , !
To facilitate review, the following table summarizes impacts and requested mitigation.

Upon receipt of the 401 Water Quality Certification from DWQ, NCDOT will transfer funds to
WRP in the amount of $24,000 /acre of wetland mitigation performed to cover the costs of
planning and implementation.
In order to satisfy regulatory assurances that mitigation will be performed, the DWQ requires a
formal letter from the WRP indicating their willingness and ability to provide the mitigation
work requested by NCDOT. This letter should be addressed to vir. John Dorney of DWQ, with

'FIR 2 3 201
LYNDO TIPPETT
SECRETARY
SUBJECT: Proposed Minor Modification to Department of the Army Permit No.
199601404: For the Proposed Relocation of US 64 from SR 1138, South of Everetts, to
US 13-17, North Side of Williamston; Martin County; TIP No. R-2112BB; Project No.
6099002T, DWQ Project No. 960214, USACE Action ID Number 199601404.
The NCDOT is requesting modification to the Department of the Army Permit
No. 199601404 issued July 10, 2000. Permanent impacts will occur due to (A) change in
median width from 46 feet to 60 feet within jurisdictional wetlands, (B) fill of slope from
a 2:1 to 3:1 and rip-rap installation as part of the best management practices (C) earth fill
for ramp 3C and ramp 3A, (D) mechanized land clearing, (E) wetland delineation
realignment and (F) proposal for wetland compensation. We have provided a table that
summarizes the amount of proposed wetland impact for each modification, five figure
pages referring to page locations within the project and a vicinity map, 12 pages of
modified permit drawings, a copy of a letter to WRP stating a need for wetlands
compensation, and a check to Department of Water Quality-for permit costs. Note: the
original permit drawing sheet numbers are different from the modified sheets.
Section A: Change in Median Width
This project's permit held a special condition (e) that states "the median width for
the proposed highway will be 46-feet at all locations where the highway crosses
jurisdictional waters". In the original 1996 permit, the project was designed for a typical
60-foot median, including wetlands, and was never redesigned in the 2000 permit to
minimize these wetland impacts, a difference of 0.22 acres. The DOT proposes to use the
60-foot median as shown in the existing permit drawings (page 1,2,3,4,5 of the
modifications). Since the 1996 and 2000 permit drawings show these wetlands as
P.O. Box 850, Edenton, NC 27932 - Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone]
impacted by the 60-foot crossing, the wetlands have already been compensated within the
original mitigation at the Huskanaw mitigation site.
Section B: Fill of Slope from 2:1 to 3:1 and Best Management Practices
Best management practices such as a more gradual slope and rip-rap below the
pipes is proposed to prevent slope failure and erosion. Currently, the permit authorizes
only 2:1 slopes on all shoulders and ramps to minimize initial wetland fill (page
1,2,3,4,5,6,9,11 & 12). The 3:1 slopes although it does have a greater initial impact, will
provide for a more stable shoulder, and thereby minimizing long-term impact to the
wetlands overall. The use of the 3:1 slope will impact 0.50 acres of wetlands.
Rip-rap is proposed to be placed around permitted pipes (pages 1,2,3,4,5,6,9,and
11) at the discharge end of these pipes and will impact 0.08 acres of wetlands. One ditch
will be removed (page 5) to minimize wetland impacts and to allow water to dissipate
over the vegetation before reaching the wetland.
Section C: Earth Fill For Ramp 3C and Ramp 3A
Although the entire area was surveyed and studied by environmental planners to
establish study corridors to avoid wetland impacts, Ramp 3C and Ramp 3A could not
avoid wetland impact. Four wetland crossings are unavoidable due to the fact that these
are floodplains that run perpendicular to the project. These impacts were not calculated
for in the original permit. The ramp 3C will impact 0.56 acres of bottomland (PF06)
wetlands dominated by cypress (Taxiodium distichum) and blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica)
(page 7 & 8). The ramp 3A will impact 0.49 acres of bottomland (PF06) wetlands
composed of red maple (Acer rubrum) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styriflua) (Page 10).
Section D: Mechanical Land Clearing
Mechanized land clearing provides a buffer for the project to allow for project
access for positioning best management practices such as silt fences and in cases of
unavoidable impacts such as wetland fill from slope failure or erosion damage. Trees are
cut, but vegetation is allowed to re-establish after project is completed. Total impact
proposed due to mechanized clearing is 1.22 acres (all pages).
Section E: Wetland realignment with Field Observations and Road plans
On page 6, wetlands were realigned with field observations and road plans. The
original permit drawings show the entire intersection within wetlands. Field observations
showed this to be an upland area. The wetland boundary was redefined as the area in
which a thick organic layer overlaid sand. The new line is defined by a sharp contrast in
the amount of organic layer on top of sandy/clay soils. This area in the southwest
quadrant has been re-delineated as upland making a net decrease in wetland impacts of
0.50 acres.
Section F. Compensation
A total of 2.86 acres of PF06 bottomland wetland impacts within the Roanoke
River basin are proposed to be impacted by this modification to the original permit. The
NC DOT will provide compensation for these impacts in a 2:1 ratio as required by the
Division of Water Quality and US Corps of Engineers making for a total of 5.72 acres of
compensation through the WRP program. The Corps and DWQ will be notified via a
P.O. Box 850, Edenton, NC 27932 - Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone]
letter from WRP. The original balance of wetland mitigation has been previously
provided through the preservation of 27.15 acres of riverine wetlands at the Huskanaw
Swamp Mitigation Site, 2500 feet of riverine stream compensation credits, and
compensation credits of 5.43 acres of wetland impacts (PF01) through the Wetland
Restoration Program (WRP).

Re: Mitigation for Completion of the P-oposed Relocation of US 64 from SR 1138, South of
Everetts, to US 13-17, North Side of Wiilliamston; Martin County; TIP No. R-2112B;
Project No. 6.099002T, DWQ Prciect No. 960214.
Dear Mr. Ferrell:
The North Carolina Department of Tran_rortarion (NCDOT) requests that the Wetland
Restoration Program (VW) pe.-:orm weLand mitigation for the proposed completion of US 64,
from US 17 south of Williamstcn, to US :3-17, north side of Williamston in Martin County.
Wetland impacts are 2.86 acres of PF06 --ottomland wetlands within the Roanoke River basin
Hydrologic Unit XX--X)=. T ese impacts will require 2:1 restoration as required by the
Division of Water Quality. The balance of wetland mitigation has been previously been
provided through the preservation of 27.'5 acres of riverine wetlands at the Huskanaw Swamp
Mitigation Site, 2500 feet of rivzrine stream compensation credits, and compensation credits of
5.43 acres of wetland impacts (?F01) through WRP.
,e ' r r
To facilitate review, the following table summarizes impacts and requested mitigation.

Upon receipt of the 401 Water Quality Certification from DWQ, NCDOT will transfer funds to
WRP in the amount of $24,000 /acre of wetland mitigation performed to cover the costs of
planning and implementation.
In order to satisfy regulatory assurances that mitigation will be performed, the DWQ requires a
formal letter from the WRP indicating their willingness and ability to pro-vide the mitigation
work requested by NCDOT. This letter should be addressed to Mr. John Domey of DWQ, with
copies submitted to NCDOT and Mr. Mike Bell of USACE.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Kristen Shacochis
at [phone]. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Dear Mr.Bell,
SUBJECT: Propos d inor odificaitioXto Department of the Army Permit No.
199601404: For the ro sed R location of US 64 from SR 1138, South of Everetts, to
US 13-17, North Si a of illi ston; Martin County; TIP No. R-2112BB; Project No.
6099002T, DWQ P oject 9 0214, USACE Action Number 1404.
The NCDO is requesting modification to the Department of the Army Permit
No. 199601404 iss d July 11, 1996. We have provided a table that summarizes the
existing (permitted) 'mpact area, proposed (modified) permanent impact area, and
proposed (mo 'fied) mechanized clearing area, four pages of vicinity maps, 12 pages of
modified permit a ings, a copy of a letter to WRP stating a need for wetlands
compensation, and a check to Department of Water Quality for permit costs. Note: the
original permit drawing sheet numbers are different from the modified sheets.
Permanent impacts will occur due to rip-rap installation or change in slope, usually from
a 2:1 slope to a 3:1 as part of the modern best management practices. In addition, the
impacts of the construction of ramp 3A were not included in the original permit.
Mechanized clearing will be temporary impact but is needed for installation of best
management practices and the buffer zone. Special Condition e. was not met in the
design phase and was not realized prior to the contract being awarded. This condition
affects wetlands shown on sheets 2,3,4, and 5 of the permit drawings. The median will
consist of a 36-foot ditch section with an 8-foot grassed shoulder, totaling 52 feet. This
area was included in the original permit mitigation.
There are four separate floodplains (page 1,2,3,4) located in the northwest section
of the project in close proximity to the railroad tracks. Pipes already permitted will be
placed perpendicular to the proposed road to allow water equilibrium on both sides of the
road. Best management practices need to be provided in the form of rip-rap around the
discharge end of pipes and ditches and a 3:1 fill slope rather than the originally permitted
P.O. Box 850, Edenton, NC 27932 - Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone]

2:1 slope for erosion control. Unavoidable permanent wetland impacts will occur in the
form of fill.
In the southern quadrants of the intersection crossing the existing US 64 (page 5),
rp-rap needs to be placed at the end of five (5) permitted pipes. Installation of rip-rap on
pipe #178 and # 180 will impact wetlands as part of installation of best management
practices.
On page 6, wetlands were realigned with field observations and road plans. The
original permit drawings show the entire intersection within wetlands. Field observations
showed this to be an upland area. The wetland boundary was redefined as the area in
which a thick organic layer overlaid sand. The new line is defined by a sharp contrast in
the amount of organic layer on top of sandy/clay soils. The already permitted pipes will
be stabilized with rip-rap. An area in the southwest quadrant of the new section has been
re-delineated as upland: Tulip poplar, sweetgum, sycamore, pine, ebony spleenwort,
honeysuckle, Virginia creeper, and wax myrtle.
The ramp for 64 east will impact bottomland (PF06) wetlands dominated by
cypress (Taxiodium distichum) and blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica). (Page 7,8,9, and 10).
Currently only 15,609 square feet of the 64,534 square feet of permanent wetland impacts
are permitted for the 64-entrance ramp. Ramp shoulders will consist of a 3:1 slope.
The ramp for 64 west (Page 11& 12) will impact an additional 11,442 square feet
of wetlands due to the flatter slope. Equalizer pipes will connect wetlands on both sides
of road to balance hydrology and rip-rap will be placed at pipe discharge side for erosion
control. Rip-rap will not be placed in bottom of pipe to allow for animal migration.
Proposed wetland impacts through these permit modifications will be 1.6 acres of
PF06 bottomland wetlands within the Roanoke River basin. The NC DOT will provide
compensation for these impacts in a 2:1 ratio as required by the Division of Water
Quality and US Corps of Engineers making for a total of 3.2 acres of compensation
through the WRP program. The Corps and DWQ will be notified via a letter from WRP.
The balance of wetland mitigation has been previously provided through the preservation
of 27.15 acres of riverine wetlands at the Huskanaw Swamp Mitigation Site, 2500 feet of
riverine stream compensation credits, and compensation credits of 5.43 acres of wetland
impacts (PF01) through the Wetland Restoration Program (WRP).

Re: Mitigation for Completion of the Proposed Relocation of US 64 from SR 1138, South of
Everetts, to US 13-17, North Side of Williamston; Martin County-, TIP No. R-2112B;
Project No. 6.099002T, DWQ Project No. 960214.
Dear Mr. Ferrell:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) requests that the Wetland
Restoration Program (WRP) perform wetland mitigation for the proposed completion of US 64,
from US 17 south of Williamston, to US 13-17, north side of Williamston in Martin County.
Wetland impacts are 1.6 acres of PF06 bottomland wetlands within the Roanoke River basin
Hydrologic Unit N X? C These impacts will require 2:1 restoration as required by the
Division of Water Quality. The balance of wetland mitigation has been previously been
provided through the preservation of 27.15 acres of riverine wetlands at the Huskanaw Swamp
Mitigation Site, 2500 feet of riverine stream compensation credits, and compensation credits of
5.43 acres of wetland impacts (PF01) through WRP.

To facilitate review, the following table summarizes impacts and requested mitigation.

Upon receipt of the 401 Water Quality Certification from DWQ, NCDOT will transfer funds to
WRP in the amount of 524,000 /acre of wetland mitigation performed to cover the costs of
planning and implementation.
In order to satisfy regulatory assurances that mitigation will be performed, the DWQ requires a
formal letter from the WRP indicating their willingness and ability to provide the mitigation
work requested by NCDOT. This letter should be addressed to Mr. John Dorney of DWQ, with
copies submitted to NCDOT and Mr. Mike Bell of USACE.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Kristen Shacochis
at [phone]. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
William D. Gilmore, P.E., Branch Manager
