conclusion that wetland is adjacent B CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY(THAT IS NOT A TNW)AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS(IF ANY) This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands if any and it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non navigable tnbutanes of TNWs where the tnbutanes are relatively permanent waters (RPWs) i e tributaries that typically flow year round or have continuous flow at least seasonally(e g typically 3 months) A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional If the aquatic resource is not a TNW but has year round (perennial)flow skip to Section III D 2 If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow skip to Section III D 4 A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial(and its adjacent wetlands if any)and a traditional navigable water even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law If the waterbody4 is not an RPW or a wetland directly abutting an RPW a JD will require additional data to determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW If the tributary has adjacent wetlands the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands This significant nexus evaluation that combines for analytical purposes the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary or its adjacent wetlands or both If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands complete Section 111 B 1 for the tributary Section III B 2 for any onsite wetlands and Section III B 3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary both onsite and offsite The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III C below 1

I Summarize overall biological chemical and physical functions being performed Wetlands are functioning as filters and improving downstream water quality by retaining water(ground and overland)and allowing the pollutants to settle prior to the water flowing downstream C SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary Itself and the functions performed by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical physical and biological integrity of a TNW For each of the following situations a significant nexus exists if the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include but are not limited to the volume duration and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance(e g between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW) Similarly the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or ( outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in the Instructional Guidebook Factors to consider include for example • Does the tributary in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any) have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to TNWs or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW9 Does the tributary in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any) provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other species such as feeding nesting spawning or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW9 Does the tributary in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any) have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs9 • Does the tributary in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any) have other relationships to the physical chemical or biological integrity of the TNW9 Note the above list of

directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial(and its adjacent wetlands if any)and a traditional navigable water even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law If the waterbody4 is not an RPW or a wetland directly abutting an RPW a JD will require additional data to determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW If the tributary has adjacent wetlands the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands This significant nexus evaluation that combines for analytical purposes the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary or its adjacent wetlands or both if the JD covers a tributary with adjacent

wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical physical and biological integrity of a TNW For each of the following situations,a significant nexus exists if the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include but are not limited to the volume duration and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance(e g between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW) Similarly the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in the Instructional Guidebook Factors to consider include for example • Does the tnbutary in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any) have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to TNWs or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW9 Does the tributary in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any) provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other species such as feeding nesting spawning or reanng young for species that are present in the TNW9 Does the tributary in combination with its adjacent wetlands(if any) have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs9 Does the tributary in combination with its

year round (perennial)flow skip to Section III D 2 If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow skip to Section III D 4 A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial(and its adjacent wetlands if any)and a traditional navigable water even though a sigmficant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law If the waterbody4 is not an RPW or a wetland directly abutting an RPW a JD will require additional data to determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW If the tributary has adjacent wetlands the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands This significant nexus evaluation that combines for analytical purposes the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary or its adjacent wetlands or both If the JD covers a tributary with

with residential and commercial uses Both streams have a marginal forested ripanan buffer Water was observed to be clear A natural or man made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever Jurisdiction(c g where the stream temporarily flows underground or where the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices) Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody s flow regime(c g flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert) the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break I 7lbid fI SECTION III CWA ANALYSIS A TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs If the aquatic resource is a TNW complete Section III A 1 and Section III D 1 only if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW complete Sections iiI A 1 and 2 and Section III D I otherwise see Section III B below 1 TNW Identify TNW Summarize rationale supporting determination 2 Wetland adjacent to TNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is adjacent B CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY(THAT IS NOT A TNW)AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS(IF ANY) This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands if any and it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are relatively permanent waters (RPWs) i e tributaries that typically flow year round or have continuous flow at least seasonally(e g typically 3 months) A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional If the aquatic resource is not a TNW but has year round (perennial)flow skip to Section III D 2 If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow skip to Section III D 4 A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial(and its adjacent wetlands if any)and a traditional navigable water even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law if the waterbody4 is not an RPW or a wetland directly abutting an RPW a JD will require additional data to determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW If the tributary has adjacent wetlands the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands This significant nexus evaluation that combines for analytical purposes the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary or its adjacent wetlands or both If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands complete Section III B 1 for the tributary Section HI B 2 for any onsite wetlands and Section III B 3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary both onsite and offsite The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III C below 1 Characteristics of non TNWs that flow directly or indirectly Into TNW (i) General Area Conditions Watershed size 2500a rc es Drainage area 2500 racrd

Department of Transportation(NCDOT), Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) requests an Updated Jurisdictional Determination for the proposed—6.6 mile widening of SR 1406 (Piney Green Road) (TIP# U-3810) located in Jacksonville, Onslow County,NC. The project study corridor includes approximately 185 acres, situated in the White Oak River Basin(HUC 03030001). Land use along the corridor includes commercial, residential, and undeveloped, forested areas. The project was previously delineated by KHA in 2005 in conjunction with the preparation of a Natural Resources Technical Memorandum (NRTR) and Environmental Assessment(EA). The original study area consisted of a 1,331 acre project corridor ranging from—1,000 feet wide (500 feet on each side of Piney Green Road) to—4,600 feet wide in the vicinity of Little Northeast Creek. A copy of the 2005 delineated and USACE approved wetland and stream mapping is included for your review. USACE representative Dave Timpy conducted a field verification of the jurisdictional areas on March 15, 2006. Now that an alternative has been selected and design nearing completion, the project study corridor has been greatly reduced to the existing and proposed right-of-ways as shown on the attached LiDAR and aerial (2010) • TEL 919 677 2000 FAX 919 677 2050 1 mapping. This updated Jurisdictional Determination request is only for the jurisdictional features within this revised project corridor. KHA re-evaluated each of the previously delineated wetland and stream areas to determine if any changes have occurred to the jurisdictional limits of each feature. Field reconnaissance was completed on December 15, 2011. The wetland verification was conducted in accordance with the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the Regional Supplement to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region. Perennial streams were not re- evaluated from the 2005 delineation. Intermittent/ephemeral streams were re-evaluated, particularly if the feature was located in a topographic swale shown on the LiDAR elevation mapping. The re-evaluated tributary features were evaluated based on the presence of an ordinary high water mark and landscape position. Updated N.C. Division of Water Quality Stream Classification forms and USACE Stream Quality Assessment forms were completed for these re-evaluated features. In summary,based on our recent field reconnaissance, eight wetlands (4.7 acres)and seven streams (2,208 linear feet) were identified within the amended project corridor. For the most part,there were no substantial changes to the original delineation; however KHA did make the following modifications/additions: Wetlands A and B (WA, WB)—these are small marginal wetlands adjacent to the intersection of Piney Green Road and Highway 17 that were not included in the 2005 delineation but were subsequently delineated on a private property and have been added for field review. (Note: KHA revised the delineation boundary as shown on attached figures 1 A and 1B) Stream D (SD)—this feature was not included on the original delineation but was re-evaluated based on the LiDAR signature as a potential swale and scored a 23 on the DWQ rating form(figure lA and 1B) Stream B (SB)—this feature was re-evaluated based on the LiDAR signature as a potential swale but was confirmed to be a non- jurisdictional man-made ditch(scored 11 on DWQ form) (Figure 2A and 2B) Stream A(SA)—this feature was not included on the original delineation but was re-evaluated based on the LiDAR signature as a potential swale and scored a 21 on the DWQ rating form(figure 3A and 3B).

Carolina Department of Transportation Project Development and Environmental Analysis Branch Natural Environment Unit Raleigh, North Carolina On-site Mitigation Plan for SR 1406 (Piney Green Road) from NC 24 to US 17 Jacksonville, Onslow County, North Carolina T I P Number U-3810 WBS No 35801 1 1 DRkFF January 19, 2011 1 0 BASELINE INFORMATION The project is located within USGS Hydrologic Cataloging Unit 03030001, and NC Division of Water Quality(NCDWQ) sub basin 03 05 02 of the White Oak River Basin and is situated is within the southeastern portion of the Coastal Plain physiographic province The project is located immediately east of SR 1406 Piney Green Road in Jacksonville, Onslow County on land that is entirely owned by the North Carolina Department of Transportation Adjacent land uses are mainly residential with scattered commercial zones fragmented forests and large nvenne forest systems on both sides of Piney Green Road The project includes three jurisdictional features Little Northeast Creek a 303(d) listed tributary of Northeast Creek an unnamed tributary to Little Northeast Creek and the adjacent Cypress Gum Swamp community located within the floodplain of Little Northeast Creek Little Northeast Creek has been assigned Stream Index Number 19 16 2 with a classification of C, NSW and the Cypress Gum Swamp community(Wetland#5 in the NRTR) has a NCDWQ rating of 93 The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) will perform on site mitigation within this project area for unavoidable jurisdictional impacts associated with Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) U 3810 the widening of SR 1406, Piney Green Road from NC 24 to US 17 The project will serve as on site mitigation through the restoration of 0 38 acres of riverine wetland enhancement of 387 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Little Northeast Creek and preservation of 7 87 acres of riverine wetlands on parcel 209 which can be found on plan sheets 19 & 20 for TIP U 3810 The U 3810 Natural Resources Technical Report dated January 2006 provides further details concerning existing roadway and project study area conditions 2 0 SITE SELECTION TIP U 3810 will involve the widening of SR 1406 Piney Green Road immediately adjacent to the mitigation site which has been purchased as part of the Right of Way(ROW) for the widening project The mitigation area occurs east of approximate roadway L Sta 222+68 to 233+71 50 Within this area NCDOT will restore 0 38 acres of riverine wetlands via site excavation and grading preserve 7 87 acres of cypress gum swamp and enhance 387 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Little Northeast Creek via stream bank reforestation (see attached Appendix A) 3 0 SITE PROTECTION INSTRUMENT The mitigation area is located within the NCDOT Right of Way for the U 3810 project It will be managed to prohibit all uses inconsistent with its use as mitigation property, including any activity that would materially alter the biological integrity or functionality of the site consistent with the mitigation plan The site will be placed on the NEU mitigation geo database It will be monitored visually for three years with annual inspection reports provided to the agencies After closeout, the site will placed in the NCDOT Stewardship Program for long term management and protection 4 0 OBJECTIVES The goal of the project is to restore 0 38 acres and preserve 7 87 acres of riverine wetlands as well as enhance 387 linear feet of an unnamed tnbutary to Little Northeast Creek to mitigate for impacts associated with TIP U 3810 The functional restoration of the wetland area will be accomplished via site excavation and grading The 0 38 acre restoration area consists of two areas 0 24 acres that will be reforested to match the existing species composition of the adjacent Cypress Gum Swamp preservation and 0 14 acres that will be within a DUE (Dual Utility Easement) that will consist of both overhead power lines and a sewer line Due to the sewer line NCDOT is unable to replant this area with neither native wetland trees nor shrubs but anticipates natural re vegetation with herbaceous wetland species due to the excavation and grading of the area to match the existing adjacent reference wetland elevation The stream enhancement will be performed via stream bank reforestation along 387 linear feet of an unnamed tnbutary to Little Northeast Creek that is currently maintained via mowing This area is 0 79 acres with a mean buffer width of 81 feet Lastly, no work will be performed within the preservation area 5 0 MITIGATION WORK PLAN The mitigation area will be constructed in conjunction with the construction of TIP U 3810 Construction activities involve site excavation and grading as well as native vegetation planting The Natural Environment Unit shall be contacted to provide construction assistance to ensure that the mitigation areas are constructed appropriately 1 1 Native Vegetation Planting Following the successful completion of site grading and stabilization, a reforestation plan for the 0 24 acre wetland restoration area and the 0 79 acres of stream bank reforestation will include the planting of bare root tree species commonly found in Cypress Gum Swamps of the Blackwater subtype These areas will be planted with a mixture of Swamp tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica var biflora), Bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) Water tupelo (Nyssa aquatic) and Tulip poplar(Liriodendron tulipifera) (see attached reforestation plan) Native wetland seed and mulch will be applied on all disturbed areas within the mitigation area for stabilization purposes according to guidance and standard procedures of NCDOT s Roadside Environmental Unit An as built report will be submitted within 60 days of completion of the project 6 0 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The mitigation areas have been purchased fee simple protected in perpetuity and added to the NEU mitigation geo database NEU will be contacted during construction to provide oversight and ensure that the site is graded to match the existing adjacent, reference wetland elevation Upon successful completion of construction the following monitoring strategies are proposed for the mitigation site NCDOT will document monitoring activities on the site in an annual report distributed to the regulatory agencies 7 0 MONITORING REQUIREMENTS Hydrologic monitoring No specific hydrological monitoring is proposed for the wetland restoration area The target elevation is based on the reference wetland areas and will be verified during construction Constructing the site at the adjacent wetland elevation will ensure the hydrology in the restored l area is similar to the hydrology in the reference area Vegetation success criteria NCDOT shall monitor the wetland restoration and stream enhancement areas by visual observation and photo points for seedling survival and aerial cover of vegetation NCDOT shall monitor the site for a minimum of three years or until the site is deemed successful Monitoring will be initiated upon completion of the site planting 1 ■ 8 0 OTHER INFORMATION The Cypress Gum Swamp community associated with U 3810 (Wetland#5) adjacent to Little Northeast Creek is a Riverme Swamp Forest based on NCWAM field assessment methodology and is labeled as such in Appendix A The target NCWAM wetland type for the 0 24 acre wetland restoration area is also a Riverme Swamp Forest whereas the 0 14 acre wetland restoration area located within the DUE is a targeted to become a Non tidal Freshwater Marsh For further information on these wetlands please see the NC Wetland Assessment Method User Manual (Version 4 1 October 2010) 9 0 DETERMINATION OF CREDITS Per the NCDOT plans and 401/404 permit application for U 3810 NCDOT proposes to restore 0 38 acres of riverine wetlands via site excavation/grading and subsequent native reforestation to mitigate for permanent impacts associated with the TIP at a 1 1 ratio to enhance 387 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Little Northeast Creek via stream bank reforestation at a 5 1 ratio and to preserve 7 87 acres of nverine wetlands at a ratio of 10 1 An as built report will be submitted within 60 days of completion of the project to verify actual wetland acreage constructed and buffer acreage planted The success of the mitigation area and determination of total credits will I be based upon successful completion and closeout of the monitoring period 9 1 CREDIT RELEASE SCHEDULE NCDOT proposes immediate full release of the proposed credits for the 0 38 acres of riverine wetland restoration the 387 linear feet of enhancement to an unnamed tributary to Little Northeast Creek and the 7 87 acres of riverine wetland preservation as on site mitigation for unavoidable impacts associated with U 3810 at the respective credit ratios of 1 1, 5 1 and 10 1 10 0 GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AREA The proposed Geographic Service Area(GSA) for the mitigation area is composed of the 8 digit Hydrologic Cataloging Unit (HUC) 03030001 The 0 38 acres of riverine wetlands will be used on site at a 1 I ratio the 387 linear feet of stream enhancement will be used at a 5 1 ratio and the 7 87 acres will be used on site at a 10 1 ratio to offset unavoidable junsdictional impacts Any remaining acreage or linear feet will be available for use within the White Oak River Basin ( HUC 303001 once the mitigation site has completed the monitoring period and been closed out ■ 11 0 MAINTENANCE PLAN 1 1 The site will be held by NCDOT and placed on the NEU mitigation geodatabase Once monitoring is completed and the site is closed out it will be placed in the NCDOT Stewardship Program for long term maintenance and protection If an appropriate third party recipient is identified in the future then the transfer of the property will include a conservation easement or other measure to protect the natural features and mitigation value of the site in perpetuity 12 0 LONG TERM ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN The site will be managed by the NCDOT according to the mitigation plan In the event that unforeseen issues arise that affect the management of the site, any remediation will be addressed by NCDOT in coordination with the Interagency Review Team i 1 13 0 FINANCIAL ASSURANCES The site will be managed by NCDOT with its own distinct cost center number within the INCDOT budgeting and financial tracking system Therefore, all accounting for revenues contract encumbrances fund transfers and expenses will be performed and reported independent from other capital budget or operating budget accounting I I 1 Wainwright, David From Cox Marissa R Sent Tuesday January 24 2012 2 27 PM To Shaver Brad E SAW (Brad E Shaver @usace army mil) Wainwright David Cc Griffin Randy W Manley Chris Allen Pete Mathis Stonewall D Subject U 3810 M tigation &field meeting tomorrow Good Afternoon Brad & David Neither Randy nor myself can attend the meeting tomorrow on U 3810 However we have asked Chris to include a field visit to the proposed on site mitigation area for your review Very recently we were informed that NCDOT ROW had to purchase the entire property on which we are proposing a small on site wetland restoration that you are familiar with and was discussed in the last merger meeting We have decided to include that area in our mitigation package for both wetland preservation and stream enhancement Brad It is my understanding that you suggested that I stay consistent with the on site mitigation that was approved in the R 2633 permit I agree that the sites are somewhat comparable since they both have a wetland restoration area with an utility easement However I was also informed that preservation credit would only be considered if a threat could be demonstrated R 2633 also had a preservation component at a 10 1 ratio but I will provide some additional information regarding the preservation area in this email as well Here is what the permit for R 2633 stated concerning mitigation Natural EuvirotarEteut Unit The Department must implement the "Stream and Wetland Rest Branch at NC87/MVtaco Road Breuisvvick County" dated Septcrrmb with the application package received October 19, 2010 for R-2( the restoration site should be field confirmed by the USACE Wt. prior to release of construction equipment so that any field level completed The on-site mitigation consists of 2 95 acres of wetly linear feet of stream preservation, 0.63 acres of wetland restorati stream restoration In total this is the equivalent of 0 925 acres o mitigation credits and 123 linear feet of stream restoration credi' The applicant shall continue to pursue on-site mitigation opporti finalized for It-2633 B Based on this we received a 10 1 ratio for wetland preservation and a 1 1 ratio for restoration—including the portion that was within the new/widened power line easement So from a consistency standpoint I think you will see via the mitigation plan (which will be provided tomorrow)that I am being consistent on ratios for this project However there are other differences within the two utility easements that we may want to consider/discuss • On R 2633 there were jurisdictional wetlands within the existing power line My argument was that if this easement area was moved/widened we would still have the same type of jurisdictional wetlands On U 3810 there is not an existing utility easement with jurisdictional wetlands to compare with However the design for the road took into consideration the mitigation area specifically with regard to the use of equalizer pipes prior to 1 • knowing about the new DUE Therefore the area will be graded to the adjacent reference wetland elevation whether for mitigation or not • On R 2633 we agreed to plant shrub species instead of trees in the restored wetland area within the utility easement because it was overhead power lines With U 3810 the new utility easement is a DUE that will have both overhead power lines as well as a sewer line Therefore it will be pointless to plant either wetland tree or shrub species because they will not be able to remain in the sewer line easement However we feel that if we g ade the area back to its natural u etland elevation that herbaceous wetland species will naturally e vegetate that area It seemed during the 4c meeting that you were fine with NCDOT leaving the easement area within the mitigation area for restoration credit but asked that the areas be designated separately which I have done in the mitigation plan If based on the above comparison/differences you see a need for different ratios for the 2 restoration areas please let me know so that we can discuss/adjust prior to the permit application As for the preservation portion of this mitigation site • NCDOT has purchased the entire Parcel 209 which contains 7 87 acres of Wetland #5 (NRTR) I have included this in the mitigation plan at a 10 1 ratio (which is consistent with R 2633) • These 7 87 acres are adjacent&within the floodplain of Little Northeast Creek which is designated within the project study area to its confluence with Northeast Creek as 303(d)due to low dissolved oxygen levels • Wetland #5 also has a NCDWQ rating of 93 according to the NRTR • As for an imminent threat if we do not use this portion of parcel 209 for mitigation and protect it it will most likely be sold by the Department at some time in the future It is my understanding that NCDOT is not in the business of holding on to residual properties especially in these economic times With direct access off Piney Green Road and a few cleared acres of uplands(the house & buildings have already been removed by NCDOT) I would think this is possibly an appealing location for development That s all I got Please let me know if there is any additional information any of you may want/need regarding the mitigation areas esp after ya II meet tomorrow I would like to have the final mitigation package ready for Chris asap in case the baby decides to come a week or two early Please feel free to forward to anyone else that needs to be included in this
