CONT4 JR. SECRETARY ?0(J Subject: NWP 14 request, for the construction of an egress only road (for Talecris Biotherapeutics Corporation from Powattan Road to Talecris property in Johnston County, NC. WBS # 59002 Dear Sirs: Please find enclosed the Pre-Construction Notification for the above referenced project. The purpose of this new road is to provide an emergency exit for Talecris employees due to occasional blockage from railroad activities of their main entrance/exit. There are unavoidable impacts to wetlands, buffers and one stream crossing associated with this project. An unnamed tributary to the Neuse River is located will be impacted and is classified by the Division of Water Quality at this crossing as WS -IV, NSW waters. Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters will be strictly adhered to during conscructuion of this project. Also enclosed is a Talecris mitigation plan to provide offsets to mitigated buffer impacts associated with this road crossing as well as additional mitigation that will be banked for future NCDOT projects. Federally Protected Species and Cultural Resources The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) currently list four federally protected species for Johnston County (Table 1).

Biological surveys was performed by NCDOT NEU and Chad Coggin DEO on Feb. 10, 2010 with a conclusion of No affect for all four species. Historic and archeological reviews were performed by NCDOT HEU with a no affect finding. Minimization Information impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of surface waters and wetlands, restriction against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US, and coordination (including a pre-construction meeting) with the Division Environmental Officer. Regulatory Approvals USACE Section 404 Permit: The project qualifies for Nationwide Permit 14 (Linear Transportation Project). All permit condition will be followed. For our files, please provide written authorization that the activity is authorized. NCDWQ Section 401 Certification: The project qualifies for 401 General Certification number 3704. All conditions of the general certification will be followed. For our files, please provide written authorization that the activity is authorized. NCDWQ Buffer Rules: Road Crossings are an allowable use. For our files, please provide written authorization that the activity is authorized.

CONTI, JR. GOVERNOR SECRETARY 10 February 2010 Memorandum to: Chad Coggin, Div. 4 Division Environmental Officer From Jason W. Mays, Biological Surveys Group Subject: Novo Nordisk/ Talecris access road environmental evaluation Jason Mays, from the NCDOT Biological Surveys Group, with help from Chad Coggin, Division 4 Environmental Officer, performed surveys for Tar River spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana, TSM), dwarf wedgemnsel (Alasmidonta heterodon, DWM), Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii) and red- cockaded woodpecker along the alignment for the proposed access road on new location, located behind the Novo Nordisk facility off of SR 1901, Powaten Rd. in Johnston County, NC. Mussel surveys were conducted within an unarmed tributary to the Neuse River and extended approximately 1312 It (400m) downstream of the Iii-nits of construction. Habitat within this tributary was poor to marginal for DWM which is normally an inhabitant smaller streams: This second order stream did not have the habitat constituents necessary for TSM which typically inhabits high order streams or rivers. There were no mollusks or fish observed within the stream during surveys and the stream appears to be subject to periodic summer drying which would preclude most mollusk fauna. Visual searches for Michaux's sumac within maintained open areas did not reveal any stems. Appropriate nesting trees for red-cockaded woodpecker were not present on site.

NC 27604 Talecris Mitigation Plan UT to Neuse River WBS No.59002 Division 4 April 26, 2010 The North Carolina Department of Transportation will perform on-site mitigation for impacts associated with Talecris access road project, Division 4 WBS No. 59002 in Clayton NC. An alternative access road is proposed from SR 1901 Powatan Road across the NovoNordisc property to the eastern side of the Talecris property. The mitigation site encompasses approximately 1160 feet of an unnamed tributary (UT) to the Neuse River and occurs on the Talecris property. NCDOT proposes that the mitigation site will provide 1160 feet of stream enhancement, 75,000 sq ft of buffer restoration, and 1 acre of wetland enhancement. Onsite mitigation is proposed to offset impacts due to the roadway project of 21 sq ft to Buffer Zone 1 and 1360 sq ft to Buffer Zone 2, for a total debit of 2103 sq feet of buffer mitigation. Existing Conditions This project is located in Johnston County near Clayton at the Talecris Biotherapeutic facility on Hwy 70 (Figure 1). Within the site, the UT to the Neuse River was previously ponded by a dam at the northern end of the site. Currently, the UT enters the site from the south at a stone culvert under the railroad. It flows in a northerly direction approximately 1200 feet before to its confluence with another unnamed tributary. The UT then exits the site across the breached darn of the old pond. The drainage area is 350 acres. The UT is approximately 8 feet wide and 2 feet deep. The slope varies from.01 to.02 ft/ft. The banks along the entire channel are fairly stable but are covered only with herbaceous vegetation. The buffer along the portion of the channel within the old pond bed is composed of herbaceous vegetation with pines along the outer edge. One acre of wetland was delineated along this portion of the channel. The buffer along the upper reach of the channel is wooded. Proposed Conditions NCDOT will construct the Talecris access road from Powatan Road across the NovoNordisc property to the Talecris facility. The access road will enter the Talecris property from the east and cross the UT of the Neuse River at the location of the old pond dam. The proposed crossing will be in a baffled culvert on a slope of.02 ft/ft. NCDOT will enhance approximately 1160 feet of the UT by planting the banks of the channel with live stakes of silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) and buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentahs) on three foot centers. Approximately 75,000 sq feet of buffer will be restored along both banks of the channel by planting a minimum of 50 feet with bare root seedlings on 8 foot centers. Bottomland hardwood species will be planted as available including at least three of the following: water oak (Quercus nigra), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), willow oak (Quercus phellos), sycamore (Platanis occidentalis), water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica), swamp chestnut oak (Quercus'michauxii). A two foot sill will be constructed at the culvert inlet to prevent a headcut through the old pond sediment and stream channel. The site will be protected by placing it in a conservation easement granted to NCDOT. See the attached Figure 2 for the conservation easement , stream enhancement, and buffer restoration boundaries. Monitoring The site will be visually monitored and documented with photo points for channel stability and vegetation survival for three years. The conservation easement will be held in perpetuity and recorded on the Talecris deed. The mitigation site and conservation easement boundary will also be placed on the Natural Environment Unit's Mitigation Geodatabase for long term stewardship.
