THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION and THE UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY and THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") is made on the last day entered below among the North Carolina Department of Transportation ("NCDOT"), the Federal Highway Administration ("FHWA"), the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("USEPA"), and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources ("NCDENR") (collectively referred to hereinafter as "the Parties"). GENERAL RECITALS WHEREAS, the FHWA and NCDOT approved the selected alternative for TIP project R-2245 (hereinafter, "the Project") as part of the Record of Decision executed by FHWA and NCDOT on October 20, 2004 and November 10, 2004, respectively; WHEREAS, the approved alternative for the Project is described as widening SR 1105 (Middleton Avenue) between the Atlantic Ocean and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway ("AIWW"), constructing a new bridge over Davis Canal and a new high-rise bridge over the AIWW to the mainland, and constructing a roadway on new location from the new high-rise bridge to NC 211 at SR 1500 (Midway Road); WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger 01 Process, certain federal and state resource and regulatory agencies participate with NCDOT in the early planning process for select NCDOT projects; WHEREAS, pursuant to N.C.G.S. §§ 136-18(5), 136-18(29) and 136-93, NCDOT and the Board of Transportation are authorized to issue policies and rules governing the permitting of street and driveway access to State highways; WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger 01 process and interagency discussion among the Parties, NCDENR and USEPA have determined that maintaining control of access along portions of the right-of-way of the Project is necessary to minimize indirect effects to wetlands and water quality within the study area, which they believe may result from the Project; and WHEREAS, NCDOT and the FHWA agree that the control of access limits are important to maintaining the safety, mobility, and operational integrity of the project. NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows: . 1.0 NCDOT Authority and Procedure. The Parties agree that NCDOT is given the statutory authority to review street and driveway access requests pursuant to N.C.G.S. §§ 136-18(5), 136-18(29) and 136-93, and has an established procedure for determining whether to grant street and driveway access to state highways. 2.0 Project Control of Access Limits and Special Designation. 2.1 Control of Access - Control of access limits subject to the MOU shall begin at the northern terminus of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway Bridge (approximate station -L- 63+00) and continue to the intersection of the NC 211 southern right of way boundary (approximate station -L- 248+00). 2.2 Access Breaks - Three designated access breaks on the mainline will be allowed for access roads. NCDOT may allow the following breaks in access without complying with paragraph 3.0 below: Access Centerline of Access Break East or West of Mainline Access 2 -L- Station 72+65.00 West Access 3 -L- Station 192+55.00 East Access 4 -L- Station 151+55.00 West The length of control of access along each access road is as shown on the attached Exhibits 2 through 4. It is understood by all parties that the access roads may be longer than what is shown on Exhibits 2 through 4; however, the control of access limits will end at the locations depicted on the Exhibits. The right of way width for each access road identified in the table above shall be 100 feet total, 50 feet on each side of its centerline. The width of the access break will be wider than 100 feet at the mainline, and may be wider than what is shown on the Exhibits, to accommodate sight triangles, or as necessary for safety or traffic engineering reasons. This right of way will have the same special control of access designation as the mainline (see paragraph 2.3 below), and any request for future access breaks will be subject to paragraph 3.0 of this Agreement. Access 2 is a reserved future access break. All parties agree that NCDOT may allow this break in access, without complying with paragraph 3.0 of this . Agreement, subject to conditions established in the permit issued by the United States Army Corps of Engineers for the Project. Access 2 is identified by a note on the NCDOT plans that states: "A future control of access break-has been reserved left of -L- Sta. 72+65.00. Any access break at this.location shall be in accordance with specific guidelines set forth in the Memorandum of Understanding between NCDOT, FHWA, NCDENR and USEPA and permit conditions prescribed by USACE." A gate and gravel driveway will be installed east of -L- Station 73+00.00 to allow access by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to property over which the Corps holds an easement. 2.3 Special Designation - NCDOT agrees to provide special designation of the subject Control of Access limits on the NCDOT plans as "Special Control of Access" with a unique symbol and a legend referencing this agreement between the Parties. (See Exhibit 1, Sample Special Control of Access Designation) NCDOT agrees to include a description of the Control of Access limits in each deed it records for properties that fall within the area described in this paragraph 2.0. NCDOT further agrees that it will contact, in writing, the nine landowners adjacent to the controlled access area from which NCDOT purchased or condemned property for the Project, after their right-of-way claims are finalized, and request that said landowners include deed restrictions on their properties to indicate the Control of Access limits. 3.0 Review of Requests to Break Control of Access. As part of the right-of-way acquired by NCDOT for the Project, NCDOT has also acquired the right to control the access to such right-of-way along portions of the project. Accordingly, it is the intent and desire of NCDOT to maintain the integrity of the roadway facility by retaining the control of access limits described in paragraph 2.0. 3.1 Initial Review and Consideration by NCDOT - If a future request is made to break the existing control of access limits along the Project at any location other than those specified in paragraph 2.2 above, NCDOT agrees to follow the Operating Procedures (hereinafter, "the Procedures") of the NCDOT Right of Way Disposal and Control of Access Committee (hereinafter, "the NCDOT Committee"), except to the extent the Procedures differ from the process described herein. The person applying for the control of access break must first submit a request to the District Engineer, who will gather information about the request and forward it to the Division Engineer. The Division Engineer may deny the request. If the Division Engineer does not deny the request, the request shall be forwarded to the Chairperson of the NCDOT Committee. The NCDOT Committee will review the request. If the NCDOT Committee does not deny the request, the request shall be forwarded to the NCDOT State Highway Administrator, the Division Administrator of the FHWA, the Deputy Regional 3 Administrator of the USEPA, and the Chief Deputy Secretary for NCDENR (collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Parties' Executives"). 3.2 FHWA, USEPA and NCDENR Consideration - Once the request has been transmitted to the Parties' Executives, the NCDOT State Highway Administrator, or his designee, will initiate a meeting among the Parties' Executives, or their designees, to review the request. The Parties' Executives will consult and discuss the control of access break request. Any objection by NCDENR or USEPA to the control of access break request will be based upon their respective agency's expertise and consistent with impact avoidance and minimization purposes, and must be presented in writing to the other Parties' Executives. All Parties agree that in order for a break in the control of access to be approved, all Parties must concur and each Party must document concurrence in written form. NCDOT will notify the requesting, party of the approval or denial of the request for a break in the control of access. 4.0 Notices.

Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek,P.E. Director Division of Water Quality Control of access shall be maintained along the proposed road corridor. Control of access shall be maintained through the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreed to by Federal Highways Administration (FHWA), NC Department of Transportation (NC DOT), NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NC DENR), and US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) that was submitted in your application regarding the control of access procedures. The MOU states that a "Special Control of Access" symbol shall be included on all roadway plans for the Second Bridge to Oak Island. The symbol shall denote that special approval is necessary to break access along the road corridor. This special approval requires unanimous agreement in writing of the signatory agencies (FHWA, NC DOT, NC DENR, US EPA) to allow the break in access control. The MOU establishes three designated access breaks as follows: Access Centerline of Access Break East or West of Mainline Access 2 -L- Station 72+65.00 West Access 3 -L- Station 192+55.00 East Access 4 -L- Station 151+55.00 West These access breaks are approved and not subject to the procedures of the MOU. 2. Although all three access breaks are approved by the MOU, only Access 3 and Access 4 are approved for construction under this Water Quality Certification. Access 3 shall be located at -L- Station No. 192+55.00 and shall maintain control of access for 100 feet of width for approximately 1,000 linear feet of roadway from the eastern edge of the mainline right-of-way. Small animal passage shall be provided under Access 3 by four 60" by 46" corrugated aluminum pipes with a continuous aluminum barrier at both ends. The small animal passage pipes shall be buried one foot deep and backfilled with one foot of soil. Access 4 shall be located at -L- Station No. 151+55.00 and shall maintain control of access for 100 feet of width for approximately 1,500 linear feet of roadway from the western edge of the mainline right-of-way. 3. Small animal passage shall be provided under the proposed subdivision road intersecting the wildlife corridor on the Williamson property. The small animal passage shall be constructed in accordance with section 3(b) of the notarized landowner agreement dated November 20, 2006 submitted in your application. Access 2 will provide landowner access to MAS Properties, LLC. Access 2 shall be located at - L- Station No. 72+65.00 and shall maintain control of access for 100 feet of width for approximately 500 linear feet of roadway from the western edge of the mainline right-of-way. If the final design plans for Access 2 include impacts to streams or wetlands, MAS Properties, LLC shall submit five copies of the application for a 401 Water Quality Certification and required fees to the NC Division of Water Quality for approval. Final designs shall reflect all appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation for impacts to wetlands, streams, and other surface waters. No construction activities related to Access 2 that impact any wetlands, streams, or surface waters, shall begin until after the permittee applies for, and receives written concurrence in the form of a 401 Water Quality Certification from the NC Division of Water Oualitv.

NC DOT shall provide a gated driveway access point at approximately -L- Station No. 73+00 Rt for the US Army Corps of Engineers to access maintenance areas for the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. 6. NC DOT shall adhere to all appropriate in-water work moratoriums (including the use of pile driving) prescribed by the National Marine Fisheries Service and the NC Division of Marine Fisheries. No in-water work is permitted between February 1 and September 30 of any year, without prior approval from the NC Division of Water Quality, the National Marine Fisheries Service, and the NC Division of Marine Fisheries. In addition, the NC DOT shall conform with the NCDOT policy entitled "Stream Crossing Guidelines for Anadromous Fish Passage" (May 12, 1997) at all times. 7. The bridge over Davis Canal shall be constructed using driven piles. The bridge over the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway shall be constructed using drilled shaft pile installation. Jetting shall not be used to install bridge piles at either location. 8. NC DOT shall follow the "Precautionary Guidelines for General Construction in Areas that may be used by the West Indian Manatee in North Carolina" in accordance with US Fish and Wildlife Service requirements. 9. Ten small animal passage pipes shall be constructed under the proposed mainline road between Station Nos. 147+00 and 210+00. The animal passage pipes shall be 48" reinforced concrete pipes or 60" by 46" corrugated aluminum pipes and shall be buried one foot deep and backfilled with one foot of soil. 10. For all construction activities occurring, in high quality water (HQW) watersheds, NC DOT shall use Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds [15A NCAC 4B .0124(a)4e)].. All land disturbing activities south of-L- Station No. 141+00 are subject to Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds. However, due to the size of the project, NC DOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 4B.0124(a) regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. 11. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they should be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage. 12. As part of the avoidance and minimization strategy, NC DOT shall place approximately 880 acres under a conservation easement. The conservation easements shall be made up of properties from two separate landowners, the Williamsons and the Reserve Development Company (RDC). The Williamson properties shall include West Bay, the western end of East Bay, a 300-foot wildlife corridor connecting the two bays, and three future park areas (PR3, PRI 1, PR13). The RDC.properties shall include North Bay, the remainder of East Bay, and a 300-foot wildlife corridor connecting East Bay and North Bay.

The property adjacent to -L- Station No. 199+30 Rt to 208+30 Rt has been obtained by NC DOT as part of the 300-foot wide wildlife corridor between the East Bay and North Bay. This property shall remain undisturbed and shall be noted in the NC DOT roadway plans as part of the wildlife corridor. In addition, the parcel shall be recorded as a mitigation site in NC DOT's Mitigation Site Geodatabase. In the event that the parcel is transferred to another landowner, a conservation easement shall be placed on the parcel in perpetuity. 15. No work shall be performed in jurisdictional waters prior to obtaining a State Stormwater Permit. 16. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction contours and elevations. The impacted areas shall be re-vegetated with appropriate native species. 17. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into streams. Stormwater should be directed across the bridge and pre-treated through site-appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.) before entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices. Stormwater shall be managed in accordance with your State Stormwater Permit issued by DWQ. 18. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by DWQ.

Riprap should not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed. 20. Compensatory mitigation for impacts to 0.026 acres of riverine wetlands and 21.422 acres of non-riverine wetlands (total of 21.448 acres) is required at a 2:1 ratio. Therefore, mitigation for 0.052 acres of riverine wetlands and 42.844 acres of non-riverme wetlands is required. We understand that you have chosen to perform compensatory mitigation for impacts to wetlands through the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), and that the EEP has agreed to implement the mitigation for the project. EEP has indicated in a letter dated January 12, 2007 that they will assume responsibility for satisfying the federal Clean Water Act compensatory mitigation requirements for the above-referenced project, in accordance with the Tri-Party MCA signed on July 22, 2003 and the Dual-Party MCA signed on April 12, 2004. General Condition(s) 21. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area should be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete should not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills. 22. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or protected riparian buffers. 23. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions. 24.
