Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation, Division of Highways, for Department of the Army authorization
and a State Water Quality Certification to discharge fill material into water
of the United States and wetlands, for construction of Segments BA, BB, and BC
of the Northern Wake Expressway, in the Stirrup Iron and Little Brier Creek
basins, in Wake and Durham Counties, North Carolina. Your receipt of this
letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in
accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification may be required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same
law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the
certification has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, 60 days after receipt
of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State action.
Therefore, if you have not acted on the request by August 28, 1992, the
District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.

DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS
WILLIAM G. MARLLEY, JR., P.E.
STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR
SUBJECT; Wake and Durham Counties, Northern Wake
Expressway, State Project No. 8.2401701 (R-2000).
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is in
the process of designing and constructing a planned loop
which would encircle the City of Raleigh. The Northern Wake
Expressway comprises the northern portion of this loop,
starting at N.C. 55 near Morrisville and extending to U.S. 64
near Knightdale. NCDOT plans to first construct the segments
between I-40 and US 70 (R-2000 BA, BB, BC), with the
remaining segments constructed at a later date. In order to
facilitate the Northern Wake Expressway/I-40 interchange,
NCDOT plans to relocate SR 1641/Slater Road, which is
presently located approximately 300 feet southwest of I-40
(see sheet 6 of 24). NCDOT is planning to relocate Slater
Road to a point approximately 1500 feet southwest of I-40.
NCDOT now proposes to begin construction of segment R-2000 BA
at Slater Road (relocated), and not 3300 feet southwest of I-
40 as was originally proposed in our January 22, 1992 permit
application. Taking into consideration our new proposed
starting point, the combination of segments R-2000 BA, BB,
and BC will now represent a complete project with independent
utility, linking Slater Road (relocated) and I-40 with US 70.
An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer
By eliminating the proposed construction of
approximately 1800 feet of roadway southwest of Slater Road
(relocated), wetland site 1 (see permit drawings 1 of 24, 2
of 24, 3 of 24, 4 of 24 and 5 of 24 included in January 22,
1992 permit application) will not now be impacted. Avoidance
of site 1 will reduce project wetland impacts by 1.95 acres.
NCDOT personnel recently met onsite with Mr. Eric
Alsmeyer of the Corps. The alignment for this project was
walked, and Mr. Alsmeyer identified several required items
that were lacking form our initial permit application.
These omissions included not accounting for each impact to
wetlands and/or Waters of the US and dot including
information dealing with mechanized clearing. Additionally,
Mr. Alsmeyer reduced or eliminated wetland impacts at several
sites, and increased the wetland limit at one site (wetland
site 2, segment R-2000 BC). The enclosed set of permit
drawings and permit application reflects the changes
requested by Mr. Alsmeyer.
Present and future projected residential and business
related growth in the greater Raleigh area has resulted in
the need to provide for future transportation needs. The
existing roadway system will not be sufficient to provide for
projected 2010 traffic volumes, even if substantial roadway
improvement projects are implemented. One of the major
causes of congestion on existing roads is the lack of a
east-west roadway system. The major existing east-west
roadway system, the Raleigh Beltline, will not be of
sufficient capacity to allow for future traffic volumes. The
Northern Wake Expressway would help to relieve traffic
congestion throughout the area by providing adequate capacity
to serve the movement of traffic in northern Wake County, as
well as areas east and west of Raleigh. Traffic volumes on
existing roadways would also be reduced, allowing the
existing roadway system to better serve local traffic
demands. Please see Section 1 (Purpose Of and Need For
Action) in the Environmental Impact Statement supplied with
our original permit application for specific details on the
need for the project.
Several alternatives to meet year 2010 traffic needs
were examined. These alternatives include a) a no-build
alternative, b) an improve existing roadway system without a
Thoroughfare plan, c) implementation of the Greater Raleigh
Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan without the Northern Wake
Expressway, d) build alternative (Preferred Alternative), and
e) a public transportation alternative. As is shown in
Section 2 (Alternatives) of the EIS, the preferred
alternative best serves the transportation needs of the
greater Raleigh area. Possible alignment choices for the
proposed alignment are given in Section 2.4.1, and Section
2.4.2 gives the reasonable alignments selected for detailed
study, as well as why some alignment choices were eliminated
from further consideration. Section 2.5 discusses the
preferred alternative and the basis for its selection.
Given the preferred alignment, as well as the extent of
open water and wetland habitat in the area, total avoidance
of wetland habitat and Waters of the U.S. could not be
realized. Design requirements for the crossing of I-40 limit
the possibilities for slight alignment shifts that would
allow wetlands impacts to be minimized. Design speed
criteria for the expressway further limits the possibilities
for slight shifts and curves that would allow for impact
minimization on a local scale. Best management practices
will be implemented to minimize the amount of impact to the
wetlands.
Activities associated with the construction of R-2000 BA, BB,
and BC will result in the filling of 6.82 acres of bottomland
hardwood forests and 18.68 acres of Waters of the U.S. Of the
18.68 acres of impacts to Waters of the U. S., 12.6 acres of
impact will occur at a site adjacent to Stirrup Iron Creek and I-
40 (R-2000 BA site 2). The remaining 5.96 acres of impacts to
Waters of the U.S. will occur at 43 locations throughout the
alignment (see accounting sheets). At the majority of these 43
sites, culverts or pipes will be used to allow for adequate
hydrological flow underneath the roadway. Additionally, 3.62
acres of wetland occurring outside the construction limits will be
impacted due to mechanized clearing activities, which is viewed by
the Corps of Engineers as fill in wetlands. It should be noted
that, after completion of construction, the 3.62 acres of wetlands
impacted due to mechanized clearing will be allowed to naturally
revert back to previous conditions.
This project will also lead to the loss of sediment
storage and flood storage capacities from the Stirrup Iron
Creek flood storage impoundment. Sediment storage capacity
is defined as the area below ordinary high water which is
capable of serving as a sediment trap, and flood storage
capacity is defined as the area between ordinary high water
and the 100 year flood elevation that is capable of serving
as a flood water storage basin during periods of abnormally
high water. Construction of this project will cause the loss
of 103,865 cubic yards of sediment storage capacity due to
filling below the elevation of ordinary high water (306.5).
439,580 cubic yards of flood storage capacity will also be
lost due to filling between elevation 306.5 and elevation
318.8, which is the 100 year flood elevation.
Mitigation for the unavoidable impacts to wetland
habitat, as well as sediment and flood storage capacities,
will be accomplished by way of creation of wetland, flood and
sediment storage sites adjacent to the project limits.
Successful implementation of NCDOT's proposed mitigation plan
will provide for the creation of 22.0 acres of bottomland
hardwood habitat, 10.0 acres of open water habitat, 106,167
cubic yards of sediment storage capacity and 649,584 cubic
yards of flood storage capacity. Details of NCDOT's proposed
mitigation plan are given in the enclosed mitigation plan.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation feels
that this application complies with the requirements of the
Corps. Application is hereby made for the appropriate
Department of Army permits as required:by the above mentioned
construction activities. Enclosed please find a permit
application and drawings depicting the proposed work. By
copy of this letter, we are also requesting that a Section
401 Water Quality Certification be issued by the N.C.
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources.
This application supersedes the application submitted by
NCDOT to your office on January 22, 1992.
It is imperative that this project be let to contract as
soon as possible. Therefore, please contact this office
immediately if we may provide assistance that would allow for
a quicker issuance of a permit. If you have any questions,
or if we may provide any additional information, please
contact Mr. Doug Huggett of NCDOT's Environmental Unit at

Wetlands, Flood and Sediment
Storage Mitigation Plan
INTRODUCTION
Activities associated with the construction of R-2000 BA, BB,
and BC will result in the filling of 6.82 acres of bottomland
hardwood forests and 18.68 acres of Waters of the U.S. Of the 18.68
acres of impacts to waters of the U. S., 12.6 acres of impact will
occur at a site adjacent to Stirrup Iron Creek and I-40 (R-
2000 BA site 2). The remaining 5.96 acres of impacts to Waters of
the U.S. will occur at 43 locations throughout the alignment. At the
majority of these 43 sites, culverts or pipes will be used to allow
for adequate hydrological flow underneath the roadway. Additionally,
3.62 acres of wetland occurring outside the construction limits will
be impacted due to mechanized clearing activities, which is viewed by
the Corps of Engineers as fill in wetlands. It should be noted that,
after completion of construction, the 3.62 acres of wetlands impacted
due to mechanized clearing will be allowed to naturally revert back
to previous conditions.
This project will also lead to the loss of sediment storage and
flood storage capacities from the Stirrup Iron Creek flood storage
impoundment. Sediment storage capacity is defined as the area below
ordinary high water which is capable of serving as a sediment trap,
and flood storage capacity is defined as the area between ordinary
high water and the 100 year flood elevation that is capable of
serving as a flood water storage basin during periods of abnormally
high water. Construction of this project will cause the loss of
103,865 cubic yards of sediment storage capacity due to filling below
the elevation of ordinary high water (306.5). 439,580 cubic yards of
flood storage capacity will also be lost due to filling between
elevation 306.5 and elevation 318.8, which is the 100 year flood
elevation.
Based on field observations, it appears that there are
sufficient opportunities for on-site rather than off-site wetlands,
flood and sediment storage mitigation to occur.
ALTERNATIVES
Several alternatives were investigated as potential mitigation
sites. Of these alternatives, two were considered to be the most
feasible, and these were investigated further. These alternatives
are summarized as follows:
Alt. 1
This mitigation alternative would utilize land currently owned
J
Revised June 8, 1992
by Wake County Community Development as shown in Book of Maps 1976,
volume 1, page 1 in the Wake County Courthouse. This land had been
purchased to elevation 323.0 as part of the Crabtree Creek Watershed
flood control project. Representatives of Wake County Community
Development have tentatively stated that this land could be used for
mitigation.
Alt. 2 ,
This alternative would utilize a tract,of land owned by Mr.
Thomas E. Green, Jr., et al., as well as property owned by Wake
County Community Development and the Raleigh-Durham Airport
Authority. A knoll on the right side of the project centerline just
after Stirrup Iron Creek could be used to mitigate 350,000± cubic
yards of flood storage and 22± acres of wetlands. Additionally, the
"B" quadrant of the I-40/Northern Wake Expressway Interchange could
be used as a borrow pit, providing 200,000± cubic yards of borrow,
as well as providing additional flood and sediment storage
mitigation. This alternative also provides a source of badly needed
borrow material adjacent to the project.
PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
Alternative 2 proved to be the most feasible mitigation option.
This option would provide the opportunity to restore bottomland
forest and open water habitat similar to that proposed for clearing.
Permit drawing sheets 17 of 20 and 18 of 20 show details of the
proposed wetlands mitigation area, and permit drawing sheet 19 of 2C
shows the proposed borrow pond creation site.
PROPOSED MITIGATION
The area proposed as a bottomland hardwood creation site
presently exists as a knoll on the east side of the center line just
after crossing Stirrup Iron Creek. Stirrup Iron Creek crosses the
proposed mitigation area. The mitigation area is presently an upland
forest, with the exception of the Stirrup Iron Creek crossing, which
has bank to bank wetland limits. This area will be used as a source
of borrow material for this project, therefore the knoll will be
graded down regardless of its suitability as a mitigation site.
The wetland mitigation site adjacent to Stirrup Iron Creek (see
permit drawing sheets 17 of 20 and 18 of 20) will be graded to
elevation 306.5, the elevation of ordinary high water. Prior to
planting, the graded area will be built up one foot to elevation
307.5.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation will insure that
the mitigation site will exceed the 1987 Manual criteria for wetland
hydrology (ie. be saturated to within 12 inches of the surface,
ponded, or flooded for at least 26 consecutive days of the
growing season). NCDOT will document, by monitoring wells or visual
observation, that this hydrology parameter has been met. Locations
Revised June 8, 1992
and numbers of monitoring wells, if utilized, will be established
through coordination with Corps of Engineers personnel. Installation
of any wells will take place prior to planting.
After grading of the site is completed, wetland tree species
such as river birch (Betula nigra), green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica), overcup oak ( uercus lyrata), swamp chestnut oak
(Quercus michauxii), water oak ( uercus ni ra) and black gum (Nyssa
sylvatica) will be planted on 8 foot centers to compensate for
forested wetlands removed along the segment. Species compositions
will be approximately equal. If less than six species are available
at the time of planting, NCDOT will consult with Corps personnel to
determine an acceptable course of action. Seedlings of 12 to 24
inches will be used. If undesirable or nuisance species appear to be
threatening the success of the planted species, NCDOT will implement
corrective measures to remedy the situation.
NCDOT will be required to seed the mitigation area with grass
immediately after grading to satisfy soil erosion regulations.
Fertilizer and lime will be added to the area at this time. NCDOT
will reapply these additives if it is deemed necessary prior to
planting of the seedlings.
NCDOT proposes a success criteria of at least 320 trees per acre
surviving for at least three years. If, at any point during the
monitoring process, the number of stems per acre drops below 320,
NCDOT will consult with Corps personnel to determine appropriate
corrective actions.
In order to determine the number of stems per acre, NCDOT
proposes to utilize permanent sample plots which adequately represent
the site. No more than one 0.05 acre plot per acre will be utilized.
The number and location of these sites will be determined through
consultation with Corps personnel after initial planting.
Successful implementation of this proposed bottomland hardwood
creation effort will lead to the creation of 22.0 acres of bottomland
hardwood forest at this site. 31,989 cubic yards of sediment storage
capacity will be created due to excavation below ordinary high water,
and 505,755 cubic yards of flood storage capacity will be created due
to excavation between ordinary high water and the 100 year flood
elevation. Additionally, 4.7 acres of open water habitat will be
created at this site.
To insure the success of our mitigation effort, The North
Carolina Department of Transportation has developed a monitoring plan
for this proposed bottomland hardwood creation effort. This
monitoring plan is attached.
The "B" quadrant site of the I-40/Northern Wake Expressway
Interchange (see permit sheet 19 of 20) will be used as a source of
borrow material for roadway construction activities. Due to its use
Revised June 8, 1992
as a borrow source, all excavation will be done to below ordinary
high water, therefore no opportunity exists for bottomland hardwood
creation at this site. Excavation at this site will provide for
143,929 cubic yards of flood storage capacity and 74,178 cubic yards
of sediment storage capacity, as well as providing for the creation
of 5.3 acres of open water habitat.
These mitigation sites will be within permanent NCDOT right of
way, and will be protected from future deveiopment by means of a deed
restricted conservation easement. It should be noted that
development of these sites will also be regulated by Wake County
under the Crabtree Creek Watershed flood control project.
MITIGATION PLAN SUMMARY
Construction activities associated with this project will lead
to the unavoidable permanent loss of 6.82 acres of bottomland
hardwood forest habitat, 18.68 acres of Waters of the U.S., and a
temporary loss 3.62 acres of wetland habitat occurring outside the
construction limits which will be impacted due to mechanized clearing
activities. After completion of construction, the 3.62 acres of
wetlands impacted due to mechanized clearing will be allowed to
naturally revert back to previous conditions. In addition, 103,865
cubic yards of sediment storage capacity and 439,580 cubic yards of
flood storage capacity will be lost. Successful implementation of
NCDOT's proposed mitigation plan will provide for the creation of
22.0 acres of bottomland hardwood habitat, 10.0 acres of open water
habitat, 106,167 cubic yards of sediment storage capacity and 649,584
cubic yards of flood storage capacity.

Dear Sir:

DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS
WILLIAM G. MARLEY, JR., P.E.
STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR
SUBJECT; Wake and Durham Counties, Northern Wake
Expressway, State Project No. 8.2401701 (R-2000).
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is in
the process of designing and constructing a planned loop
which would encircle the City of Raleigh. The Northern Wake
Expressway comprises the northern portion of this loop,
starting at N.C. 55 near Morrisville and extending to U.S. 64
near Knightdale. NCDOT plans to first construct the segments
between I-40 and US 70 (R-2000 BA, BB, BC), with the
remaining segments constructed at a later date. In order to
facilitate the Northern Wake Expressway/I-40 interchange,
NCDOT plans to relocate SR 1641/Slater Road, which is
presently located approximately 300 feet southwest of I-40
(see sheet 6 of 24). NCDOT is planning to relocate Slater.
Road to a point approximately 1500 feet southwest of I-40.
NCDOT now proposes to begin construction of segment R-2000 BA
at Slater Road (relocated), and not 3300 feet southwest of I-
40 as was originally proposed in our January 22, 1992 permit
application. Taking into consideration our new proposed
starting point, the combination of segments R-2000 BA, BB,
and BC will now represent a complete project with independent
utility, linking Slater Road (relocated) and I-40 with US 70.
An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer
By eliminating the proposed construction of
approximately 1800 feet of roadway southwest of Slater Road
(relocated), wetland site 1 (see permit drawings 1 of 24, 2
of 24, 3 of 24, 4 of 24 and 5 of 24 included in January 22,
1992 permit application) will not now be impacted. Avoidance
of site 1 will reduce project wetland impacts by 1.95 acres.
NCDOT personnel recently met onsite with Mr. Eric
Alsmeyer of the Corps. The alignment for this project was
walked, and Mr. Alsmeyer identified several required items
that were lacking form our initial permit application.
These omissions included not accounting for each impact to
wetlands and/or Waters of the US and not including
information dealing with mechanized clearing. Additionally,
Mr. Alsmeyer reduced or eliminated wetland impacts at several
sites, and increased the wetland limit at one site (wetland
site 2, segment R-2000 BC). The enclosed set of permit
drawings and permit application reflects the changes
requested by Mr. Alsmeyer.
Present and future projected residential and business
related growth in the greater Raleigh area has resulted in
the need to provide for future transportation needs. The
existing roadway system will not be sufficient to provide for
projected 2010 traffic volumes, even if substantial roadway
improvement projects are implemented. One of the major
causes of congestion on existing roads is the lack of a
east-west roadway system. The major existing east-west
roadway system, the Raleigh Beltline, will not be of
sufficient capacity to allow for future traffic volumes. The
Northern Wake Expressway would help to relieve traffic
congestion throughout the area by providing adequate capacity
to serve the movement of traffic in northern Wake County, as
well as areas east and west of Raleigh. Traffic volumes on
existing roadways would also be reduced, allowing the
existing roadway system to better serve local traffic
demands. Please see Section 1 (Purpose Of and Need For
Action) in the Environmental Impact Statement supplied with
our original permit application for specific details on the
need for the project.
Several alternatives to meet year 2010 traffic needs
were examined. These alternatives include a) a no-build
alternative, b) an improve existing roadway system without a
Thoroughfare plan, c) implementation of the Greater Raleigh
Urban Area Thoroughfare Plan without the Northern Wake
Expressway, d) build alternative (Preferred Alternative), and
e) a public transportation alternative. As is shown in
Section 2 (Alternatives) of the EIS, the preferred
alternative best serves the transportation needs of the
greater Raleigh area. Possible alignment choices for the
proposed alignment are given in Section 2.4.1, and Section
i

2.4.2 gives the reasonable alignments selected for detailed
study, as well as why some alignment choices were eliminated
from further consideration. Section 2.5 discusses the
preferred alternative and the basis for its selection.
Given the preferred alignment, as well as the extent of
open water and wetland habitat in the area, total avoidance
of wetland habitat and Waters of the U.S. could not be
realized. Design requirements for the crossing of I-40 limit
the possibilities for slight alignment shifts that would
allow wetlands impacts to be minimized. Design speed
criteria for the expressway further limits the possibilities
for slight shifts and curves that would allow for impact
minimization on a local scale. Best management practices
will be implemented to minimize the amount of impact to the
wetlands.
Activities associated with the construction of R-2000 BA, BB,
and BC will result in the filling of 6.82 acres of bottomland
hardwood forests and 18.68 acres of Waters of the U.S. Of the
18.68 acres of impacts to Waters of the U. S., 12.6 acres of
impact will occur at a site adjacent to Stirrup Iron Creek and I-
40 (R-2000 BA site 2). The remaining 5.96 acres of impacts to
Waters of the U.S. will occur at 43 locations throughout the
alignment (see accounting sheets). At the majority of these 43
sites, culverts or pipes will be used to alloo uate
hydrological flow underneath the roadway. dditionall 3.62
acres of wetland occurring outside the cons ruc ion limits will be
impacted due to mechanized clearing activities, which is viewed by
the Corps of Engineers as fill in wetlands. It should be noted
that, after completion of construction, the 3.62 acres of wetlands
impacted due to mechanized clearing will be allowed to naturally
revert back to previous conditions.
This project will also lead to the loss of sediment
storage and flood storage capacities from the Stirrup Iron
Creek flood storage impoundment. Sediment storage capacity
is defined as the area below ordinary high water which is
capable of serving as a sediment trap, and flood storage
capacity is defined as the area between ordinary high water
and the 100 year flood elevation that is capable of serving
as a flood water storage basin during periods of abnormally
high water. Construction of this project will cause the loss
of 103,865 cubic yards of sediment storage. capacity due to
filling below the elevation of ordinary high water (306.5).
439,580 cubic yards of flood storage capacity will also be
lost due to filling between elevation 306.5 and elevation
318.8, which is the 100 year flood elevation.
Mitigation for the unavoidable impacts to wetland
habitat, as well as sediment and flood storage capacities,
will be accomplished by way of creation of wetland, flood and

? t
y ` I
1
sediment storage sit s adjacent to th /Project limits.
Successful implement tion of NCDOT's/proposed mitigation lan
will provide for the creation of 22.0 acres of bottomla
hardwood habitat, 10.0 acres of open water habitat, 106,167
cubic yards of sediment storage capacity and 649,584 cubic
yards of flood storage capacity. Details of NCDOT' roposed
mitigation plan are given in the enclosed mitigation p n.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation feels
that this application complies with the requirements of the
Corps. Application is hereby made for the appropriate
Department of Army permits as required by the above mentioned
construction activities. Enclosed please find a permit
application and drawings depicting the proposed work. By
copy of this letter, we are also requesting that a Section
401 Water Quality Certification be issued by the N.C.
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources.
This application supersedes the application submitted by
NCDOT to your office on January 22, 1992.
It is imperative that this project be let to contract as
soon as possible. Therefore, please contact this office
immediately if we may provide assistance that would allow for
a quicker issuance of a permit. If you have any questions,
or if we may provide any additional information, please
contact Mr. Doug Huggett of NCDOT's Environmental Unit at

Wetlands, Flood and Sediment
Storage Mitigation Plan
INTRODUCTION
Activities associated with the construction of R-2000 BA, BB,
and BC will result in the filling of 6.82 acres of bottomland
hardwood forests and 18.68 acres of Waters of the U.S. Of the 18.68
acres of impacts to waters of the U. S., 12.6 acres of impact will
occur at a site adjacent to Stirrup Iron Creek and I-40 (R-
2000 BA site 2). The remaining 5.96 acres of impacts to Waters of
the U.S. will occur at 43 locations throughout the alignment. At the
majority of these 43 sites, culverts or pipes will be used to allow
for adequate hydrological flow underneath the roadway. Additionally,
3.62 acres of wetland occurring outside the construction limits will
be impacted due to mechanized clearing activities, which is viewed by
the Corps of Engineers as fill in wetlands. It should be noted that,
after completion of construction, the 3.62 acres of wetlands impacted
due to mechanized clearing will be allowed to naturally revert back
to previous conditions.
This project will also lead to the loss of sediment storage and
flood storage capacities from the Stirrup Iron Creek flood storage
impoundment. Sediment storage capacity is defined as the area below
ordinary high water which is capable of serving as a sediment trap,
and flood storage capacity is defined as the area between ordinary
high water and the 100 year flood elevation that is capable of
serving as a flood water storage basin during periods of abnormally
high water. Construction of this project will cause the loss of
103,865 cubic yards of sediment storage capacity due to filling below
the elevation of ordinary high water (306.5). 439,580 cubic yards of
flood storage capacity will also be lost due to filling between
elevation 306.5 and elevation 318.8, which is the 100 year flood
elevation.
Based on field observations, it
sufficient-opportunities for on-site
flood and sediment storage mitigation
appears that there are
rather than off-site wetlands,
to occur.
ALTERNATIVES
Several alternatives were investigated as potential.mitigation
sites. Of these alternatives, two were considered to be the most
feasible, and these were investigated further. These alternatives
are summarized as follows:
Alt. 1
This mitigation alternative would utilize land currently owned

Revised June 8, 1992
by Wake County Community Development as shown in Book of Maps 1976,
volume 1, page 1 in the Wake County Courthouse. This land had been
purchased to elevation 323.0 as part of the Crabtree Creek Watershed
flood control project. Representatives of Wake County Community
Development have tentatively stated that this land could be used for 1
mitigation.
?S
Alt. 2 GI?Q
I,? L .
This alternative would utilize a tract of land owned by Mr. AA?q/n
Thomas-E..Green, Jr., et al., as well as property owned by Wake Iv
County Community Development and the Raleigh-Durham Airport
Authority. A knoll on the right side of the project centerline just.
after Stirrup Iron Creek could be used to mitigate 350,000± cubic
yards of flood storage and 22± acres of wetlands. Additionally, the
"B" quadrant of the I-40/Northern Wake Expressway Interchange could
be used as a borrow pit, providing 200,000± cubic yards of borrow,
as well as providing additional flood and sediment storage
mitigation. This alternative also provides a source of badly needed
borrow material adjacent to the project.
PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
Alternative 2 proved to be the most feasible mitigation option.
This option would provide the opportunity to restore bottomland
forest and open water habitat similar to that proposed for clearing.
Permit drawing sheets 17 of 20 and 18 of 20 show details of the
proposed wetlands mitigation area, and permit drawing sheet 19 of 2C
shows the proposed borrow pond creation site.
PROPOSED MITIGATION
The area proposed as a bottomland hardwood creation site
presently exists as a knoll on the east side of the center line just
after crossing Stirrup Iron Creek. Stirrup Iron Creek crosses the
proposed mitigation area. The mitigation area is presently an upland
forest, with the exception of the Stirrup Iron Creek crossing, which
has bank to bank wetland limits. This area will be used as a source
of borrow material for this project, therefore the knoll will be
graded down regardless of its suitability as a mitigation site.
The wetland mitigation site adjacent to Stirrup Iron Creek (see 6v
permit drawing sheets 17 of 20 and 18 of 20) will be graded to
elevation 306.5, the elevation of ordinary high water. Prior to?
planting, the graded area will be built up one foot to elevation
307.5.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation will insure that
the mitigation site will exceed the 1987 Manual criteria for wetland
hydrology (ie. be saturated to within 12 inches of the surface,
ponded, or flooded for at least 26 consecutive days of the
growing season). NCDOT will document, by monitoring wells or visual
observation, that this hydrology parameter has been met. Locations
a
i
Revised June 8, 1992
and numbers of monitoring wells, if utilized, will be established
through coordination with Corps of Engineers personnel. Installation
of any wells will take place prior to planting.
After grading of the site is completed, wetland tree species
such as river birch (Betula ni ra), green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica), overcup oak (Quercus lyrata), swamp chestnut oak
(Quercus michauxii), water oak (Quercus ni ra) and black gum (Nyssa
sylvatica) will be planted on 8 foot centers to compensate for
forested wetlands removed along the segment. Species compositions
will be approximately equal. If less than six species are available
at the time of planting, NCDOT will consult with Corps personnel to
determine an acceptable course of action. Seedlings of 12 to 24
inches will be used. If undesirable or nuisance species appear to be
threatening the success of the planted species, NCDOT will implement
corrective measures to remedy the situation.
NCDOT will be required to seed the mitigation area with grass
immediately after grading to satisfy soil erosion regulations.
Fertilizer and lime will be added to the area at this time. NCDOT
will reapply these additives if it is deemed necessary prior to
planting of the seedlings.
NCDOT proposes a success criteria of at least 320 trees per acre
surviving for at least three years. If, at any point during the
monitoring process, the number of stems per acre drops below 320,
NCDOT will consult with Corps personnel to determine appropriate
corrective actions.
In order to determine the number of stems per acre, NCDOT
proposes to utilize permanent sample plots which adequately represent
the site. No more than one 0.05 acre plot per acre will be utilized.
The number and location of these sites will be determined through
consultation with Corps personnel after initial planting.
Successful implementation of this proposed bottomland hardwood
creation effort will lead to the creation of 22.0 acres of bottomland
hardwood forest at this site. 31,989 cubic yards of sediment storage
capacity will be created due to excavation below ordinary high water,
and 505,755 cubic yards of flood storage capacity will be created due
to excavation between ordinary high water and the 100 year flood
elevation. Additionally, 4.7 acres of open water habitat will be
created at this site.
To insure the success of our mitigation effort, The North
Carolina Department of Transportation has developed a monitoring plan
for this proposed bottomland hardwood creation effort. This
monitoring plan is attached.
The "B" quadrant site of the I-40/Northern Wake Expressway
Interchange (see permit sheet 19 of 20) will be used as a source of
borrow material for roadway construction activities. Due to its use
41
Revised June 8, 1992
as a borrow source, all excavation will be done to below ordinary
high water, therefore no opportunity exists for bottomland hardwood
creation at this site. Excavation at this site will provide for
143,929 cubic yards of flood storage capacity and 74,178 cubic yards
of sediment storage capacity, as well as providing for the creation
of 5.3 acres of open water habitat.
These mitigation sites will be within permanent NCDOT right of
way, and will be protected from future development by means of a deed
restricted conservation easement. It should be noted that
development of these sites will also be regulated by Wake County
under the Crabtree Creek Watershed flood control project.
MITIGATION PLAN SUMMARY
Construction activities associated with this project will lead
to the unavoidable permanent loss of 6.82 acres of bottomland
hardwood forest habitat, 18.68 acres of Waters of the U.S., and a
temporary loss 3.62 acres of wetland habitat occurring outside the
construction limits which will be impacted due to mechanized clearing
activities. After completion of construction, the 3.62 acres of
wetlands impacted due to mechanized clearing will be allowed to
naturally revert back to previous conditions. In addition, 103,865
cubic yards of sediment storage capacity and 439,580 cubic yards of
flood storage capacity will be lost. Successful implementation of
NCDOT's proposed mitigation plan will provide for the creation of
22.0 acres of bottomland hardwood habitat, 10.0 acres of open water
habitat, 106,167 cubic yards of sediment storage capacity and 649,584
cubic yards of flood storage capacity.

RE: Mr. Robert Kerr's letter of November 3rd regarding stream restoration activities at
Worthdale Park.
Dear Ms. Gordon;
' This letter is to convey the City of Raleigh's sincere interest in working with NCDOT in regard
to the potential stream restoration within Worthdale Park. It is my understanding that project
details will be resolved to the satisfaction of the City during the development of the restoration
project. In this regard, City staff has developed the following preliminary issues which will need
to be addressed:
• Access and security are critical to the safe operation of our parks. It is important that the
public has visibility from one side of the park to the other and can easily access each side of
' the park from the other;
• It is anticipated that this type of project will require some maintenance and management for a
' period following completion of the work. The City does not want to assume any of these
maintenance responsibilities. However, the City will become responsible for permanent
maintenance at some point;
;
The City must review and approve the plans prior to installation,
' • Any permits necessary for the project, including but not limited to 404 permits, 401
certifications, floodplain permits, and SEPA approvals, will be obtained by NCDOT prior to
' installation
The City looks forward to working with you and your consultant on this mutually beneficial
project.

Dear Ms. Gordon:
November 6, 1998
I am writing this in response to Mr. Robert P. Kerr's (Langley ad McDonald, P.C.) letter
of November 3, 1998 regarding the Town of Garner's interest in allowing NCDOT to perform
stream restoration activities along a section of Reedy Branch between Vandora Springs
Elementary School and Sycamore Drive. We understand that this proposal is part of a plan for
mitigation of environmental impacts caused by construction of the Northern Wake Expressway.
Mr. Kerr requested a letter from the Town stating that we are officially interested in

J

allowing NCDOT to conduct stream restoration activities along the creek, pending resolution of
project details to the satisfaction of both the Town of Garner and NCDOT. His letter also notes
that the west bank of the stream is owned by the Wake County Board of Education and several
homeowners, and that the Town operates its park on the School property.
This letter will inform you that the Town of Garner is officially interested in allowing
NCDOT to conduct stream restoration so long as the Town has final approval on any work to be
done. It should be noted that the Town cannot speak for the Wake County Board of Education or
for the property owners along the proposed creek bank.
Please feel free to call me at any time to discuss this pro' further.

Dear Ms. Gordon:
910-40-1426
The purpose of this letter is to confirm the Town of Morrisville's interest in possible
stream restoration activities to be conducted by the North Carolina Department of
Transportation in the Morrisville area. Mr. Robert P. Kerr of Langley and McDonald,
P.C. of Virginia Beach, Virginia notified Morrisville Parks and Recreation Director T.
Alan Carroll by letter dated November 3, 1998 of the possibility of evaluation and
restoration activity involving a tributary of Crabtree Creek within Morrisville Community
Park. I understand that this stream has been identified as a priority candidate for possible
restoration.
On behalf of the Town of Morrisville, I wish to formally express the Town's interest in
allowing NCDOT to perform the necessary assessment of this stream and conduct stream
restoration along the aforementioned reach, pending final resolution of project details to
the satisfaction of both the Town of Morrisville and NCDOT. Please contact me or Mr.
Carroll if you require further assistance in this matter. We look forward to working with
NCDOT on this worthwhile project.

SUBJECT: Rare Species, High Quality Natural Communities, and
Significant Natural Heritage Areas at the Proposed NC DOT
Northern Wake Expressway Stream Mitigation Sites, Wake
and Johnston Counties, North Carolina.
Dear Mr. Lewis:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NC NHP) does not have records of
high quality natural communities, rare or Endangered or Threatened species, or
Significant Natural Heritage Areas (SNHAs) at or within a 1.0 mile radius of the
following proposed mitigation sites in Wake and Johnston counties, North Carolina:
Site 1. Vandora Springs ES - Jaycee Park
Site 2. Morrisville Community Park
Site 4. Zebulon - beaver pond and ditch
Site 6. Kiwanis Park - Grove Ave. Apts.
Site 7. Brentwood Park
Site 8. Meadowbrook Ditch
Site 9. Kentwood Park
Site 10. Cloverdale Park
Site 11. Chavis Park
Records of element occurrences were found at or near these two sites:
Site 3. Worthdale Park: The southern most leg of the intermittent stream project is
in the Walnut Creek Bottomland Forest Significant Natural Heritage Area.
Site 5. Southgate Park: Within 1.0 mile of the site is the Walnut Creek Bottomland
Forest SNHA and two rare animal records, Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni),
Federal Species of Concem/State Threatened freshwater mollusk and historic report
of Roanoke bass (Ambloplites cavifrons), State significant rare fish.(map attached)
Enclosed is a list of rare species and high quality natural communities that are known
to occur in Wake and Johnston counties. If suitable habitat for any of these species
occurs in the project area, then those species may be present at the project site. If
there is a question as to whether the species is present, a survey may be necessary.

Dear Mr. Lewis:
Division of Archives and History
Jeffrey J. Crow, Director
Thank you for your letter of November 4, 1998, concerning the above project.
We have conducted a search of our maps and files and have located athe following
property of historic or architectural importance in the general area of Site 4:
North Arendell Street and Gannon Avenue Historic District, Zebulon. This
district is included on the state study list.
There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area. Based
on our present knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any archaeological
resources which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places will be affected by the project construction. We, therefore, recommend that
no archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations
for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions
concerning the above comment, please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental
review coordinator, at 919/733-4763.

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Introduction
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is currently being required by State and
Federal regulatory agencies to mitigate for impacts to streams as a result of transportation improvement
projects. Langley and McDonald, P.C. has identified several sites throughout the Neuse River Basin as
candidates for compensatory stream restoration. It is the intention of NCDOT to purchase or secure an
agreement to utilize approximately 50 feet on both sides of each candidate stream (as measured from
top of bank) to conduct restoration activities and thereafter establish a perpetual conservation
easement. Such restoration activities may involve excavating banks and relocating portions of the
stream channel.
As part of a stream restoration site feasibility analysis, Langley and McDonald, P.C. has performed a
Transaction Screen Process (TSP) in conformance with the scope and limitations of the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Practice E 1528-97 and those discussed herein. This
investigation has been completed for Worthdale Park located between Sunnybrook Road and Carlisle
Street in Wake County, North Carolina (hereinafter referred to as "the subject property").
The purpose of this TSP is to determine if there are any "recognized environmental conditions" (RECs)
as defined in ASTM E 1528-97, which would create environmental liability or limit the use of the site.
The TSP was designed to address the "innocent landowner defense" provision of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980 and "all appropriate
inquiry" in preparation of due diligence investigations under the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986.
1.2 Findings and Conclusions
A review of select government records reveals one leaking underground storage tank occurring on a
commercial property within a 0.5 mile radius (ASTM Practice E 1528-97 recommended search
distance) of Worthdale Park. This LUST, however, does not appear to present an impairment due to its
location outside of the immediate drainage area of the subject property.
Based on the Transaction Questionnaire, two pole-mounted transformers and a softball complex which
was formerly a waste water treatment plant were identified as RECs on and adjacent to the subject
property. The transformers are regularly maintained and therefore do not appear to present an
impairment to the subject property. The softball complex also does not appear to present an
impairment due to its location outside the immediate drainage area of the subject property and its
absence in the records review. On-site reconnaissance of the subject property and visual
reconnaissance of adjoining properties revealed no further RECS.

1.3 Recommendations
No further environmental site assessment is recommended to be undertaken with regard to the subject
property.
2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
Worthdale Park is a 25.85 acre public recreational facility located between Sunnybrook Road and
Carlisle Street in Raleigh, North Carolina. Three tributaries of Walnut Creek occur on the subject
property and will be the primary areas of focus. The park is owned by the City of Raleigh and supports
a variety of recreational activities including softball, tennis and basketball.
3.0 RECORDS REVIEW
Sanborn fire insurance maps were researched for historical information but were not available for this
area (Attachment A). Information from the following standard environmental record sources was
provided to Langley and McDonald, P.C. by Vista Information Solutions, Inc. (Vista). A review of the
data was performed to identify past activities that could potentially result in recognized environmental
conditions (RECs) at the subject property or within a search distance from the subject property as
specified by ASTM Practice E 1528-97. The following is a list of standard environmental record
sources and their recommended search distances.

Collectively, these databases consist of entries containing the names and/or locations of reported
hazardous waste sites, generators, transporters, reported pollution and hazardous waste spills (including
LUSTs), landfills and registered USTs in North Carolina. All reported treatment, storage and disposal
(TSD) facilities are contained in RCRA Notifier Facilities database entries.
¦ A review of the report provided by Vista revealed one LUSTs within the respective minimum search
distance of the subject property (Attachment A). A gasoline tank located 0.48 miles northeast of a
central location on the subject property was reported leaking on May 5, 1993. This LUST, however,
does not appear to present an impairment due to its location being outside of the immediate drainage
area of the subject property.
4.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE
The subject property was visually inspected by David Lewis, Project Environmental Specialist with
Langley and McDonald on November 19, 1998. The ASTM Practice E 1528-97 Transaction Screen
Questionnaire was completed by David Lewis following the inspection (Attachment B). The on-site
reconnaissance of the property revealed no RECs within or adjoining the subject property.

David Lewis of Langley and McDonald administered the ASTM Practice E 1528-97 Transaction
Screen Questionnaire to Wayne W. Schindler, Superintendent of Parks, Raleigh Parks and Recreation
on November 23, 1998. Information from the completed questionnaire reveals two pole-mounted
electrical transformers which service the community center located on the subject property. Wayne
Schindler indicated that the transformers are regularly maintained, therefore existing conditions of this
REC do not appear to present an impairment to the subject property.
Wayne Schindler indicated that a softball complex located on an adjacent property was formerly a
wastewater treatment plant. This complex, however does not appear to present an impairment due to
its location outside the immediate drainage area of the subject property. The treatment plant 'is also not
listed in our database research which supports our opinion that the facility is not a concern to the
subject site.
6.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
A review of select government records reveals one REC on an adjacent residential property, however it
does not appear to present an impairment due to its proximity to the subject property. Based on the
Transaction Screen Questionnaire, two RECs were identified on and adjacent to the subject property.
Their existing conditions, however do not appear to present an impairment to the subject property. On-
site reconnaissance of the subject property and visual reconnaissance of adjoining properties revealed
no further RECS.

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Introduction
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is currently being required by State and
Federal regulatory agencies to mitigate for impacts to streams as a result of transportation improvement
projects. Langley and McDonald, P.C. has identified several sites throughout the Neuse River Basin as
candidates for compensatory stream restoration. It is the intention of NCDOT to purchase or secure an
agreement to utilize approximately 50 feet on both sides of each candidate stream (as measured from
top of bank) to conduct restoration activities and thereafter establish a perpetual conservation
easement. Such restoration activities may involve excavating banks and relocating portions of the
stream channel.
As part of a stream restoration site feasibility analysis, Langley and McDonald, P.C. has performed a
Transaction Screen Process (TSP) in conformance with the scope and limitations of the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Practice E 1528-97 and those discussed herein. This
investigation has been completed for Jaycee Park located between Sycamore Drive and Vandora
Springs Elementary School in Wake County, North Carolina (hereinafter referred to as "the subject
property").
The purpose of this TSP is to determine if there are any "recognized environmental conditions" (RECs)
as defined in ASTM E 1528-97, which would create an environmental liability or limit the use of the
site. The TSP was designed to address the "innocent landowner defense" provision of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980 and
?j "all appropriate inquiry" in preparation of due diligence investigations under the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986.
1.2 Findings and Conclusions
A review of select government records revealed two leaking underground storage tanks occurring on
residential properties within a 0.5 mile radius (ASTM Practice E 1528-97 recommended search
distance), of Jaycee Park. Their existing conditions, however, do not appear to present an impairment
to the subject property.
Based on on-site reconnaissance of the subject property, visual reconnaissance of adjoining properties,
and the Transaction Screen Questionnaire, this assessment has revealed no RECs within the subject
property.
1.3 Recommendations
No further environmental site assessment is recommended to be undertaken with regard to the subject
property.

2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
Jaycee Park is a 3.47 acre public recreational facility situated along a portion of Reedy Branch between
Sycamore Drive and Vandora Springs Elementary School. The park is owned by the Town of Garner,
N.C. and includes both east and west banks of the noted stream. The adjacent property west of the
park is owned by the Wake County Board of Education and is currently in use as a playground for the
School. Park structures are located within the flood plain of Reedy Branch and include a wooden
bridge, playground equipment and picnic areas.
3.0 RECORDS REVIEW
Sanborn fire insurance maps were researched for historical information but were not available for this
area (Attachment A). Information from the following standard environmental record sources was
provided to Langley and McDonald, P.C. by Vista Information Solutions, Inc. (Vista). A review of the
data was performed to identify past activities that could potentially result in recognized environmental
conditions (RECs) at the subject property or within a search distance from the subject property as
specified by ASTM Practice E 1528-97. The following is a list of standard environmental record
sources and their recommended search distances.

Collectively, these databases consist of entries containing the names and/or locations of reported
hazardous waste sites, generators, transporters, reported pollution and hazardous waste spills (including
LUSTs), landfills and registered USTs in North Carolina. All reported treatment, storage and disposal
(TSD) facilities are contained in RCRA Notifier Facilities database entries.
r A review of the report provided by Vista revealed two LUSTs within the respective minimum search
distance of the subject property (Attachment A). A fuel oil tank located .27 miles east of a central
location on the subject property was reported leaking on March 13, 1995, although its current status
has been noted as "closed out." This case does not appear to present a significant impairment to the
subject property because of its distance from the property and it meeting the State's definition of
closure. An underground storage tank located .1 i miles south of the subject property was reported as
leaking heating oil on August 22, 1997. This LUST does not appear to present and impairment due to
its location being down-gradient of the subject property.
4.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE
The subject property was visually inspected by David Lewis, Project Environmental Specialist with
Langley and McDonald on November 18, 1998. The ASTM Practice E 1528-97 Transaction Screen
Questionnaire was completed by David Lewis following the inspection (Attachment B). The on-site
reconnaissance of the property revealed no RECs within or adjoining the subject property.
5.0 INTERVIEWS
David Lewis of Langley and McDonald administered the ASTM Practice E 1528-97 Transaction
Screen Questionnaire to Edward R. Johnson, Recreation Facility Project Manager on November 17,
1998. Information from the completed questionnaire shows no RECs to be associated with the subject
property.
6.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
A review of select government records revealed two RECs on adjacent residential properties, however
their existing conditions do not appear to present an impairment to the subject property. Based on the
on-site reconnaissance of the subject property, visual reconnaissance of adjoining properties, and the
Transaction Screen Questionnaire, this assessment has revealed no RECs within the subject property.

DESCRIPTION OF DATABASES SEARCHED
A) DA iABASES RECORDING PROPERTIES WITH ACTUAL CONTAMINATION
NPL VISTA conducts a database search to identify all sites within 1 mile of your property.
SRC#: 5074 The agency release date for NPL was August, 1998.
The National Priorities List (NPL) is the EPA's database of uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous waste sites
identified for priority remedial actions under the Superfund program. A site must meet or surpass a predetermined
hazard ranking system score, be chosen as a state's top priority site, or meet three specific criteria set jointly by the
US Dept of Health and Human Services and the US EPA in order to become an NPL site.
SPL VISTA conducts a database search to identify all sites within 1 mile of your property.
SRC#: 3703 The agency release date for Inactive Hazardous Sites Inventory-State Priority Sites was February, 1997.
i This database is provided by the Department of Environmental Health Natural Resources, Superfund Section. The
agency may be contacted at: 919-733-2801.
CORRACTS VISTA conducts a database search to identify all sites within 1 mile of your property.
SRC#: 4467 The agency release date for HWDMSIRCRIS was February, 1998.
The EPA maintains this database of RCRA facilities which are undergoing "corrective action". A "corrective action
order" is issued pursuant to RCRA Section 3008 (h) when there has been a release of hazardous waste or
constituents into the environment from a RCRA facility. Corrective actions may be required beyond the facility's
boundary and can be required regardless of when the release occurred, even if it predates RCRA.
B) DATABASES RECORDING PROPERTIES WITH POTENTIAL CONTAMINATION
CERCLIS VISTA conducts a database search to identify all sites within 112 mile of your property.
SRC#: 4941 The agency release date for CERCLIS was June, 1998.
The CERCLIS List contains sites which are either proposed to or on the National Priorities List(NPL) and sites which
are in the screening and assessment phase for possible inclusion on the NPL. The information on each site includes
a history of all pre-remedial, remedial, removal and community relations activiies or events at the site, financial
funding information for the events, and unrestricted enforcement activities.
NFRAP VISTA conducts a database search to identify all sites within 112 mile of your property.
SRC#: 4942 The agency release date for CERCLIS-NFRAP was June, 1998.
NFRAP sites may be sites where, following an initial investigation, no contamination was found, contamination was
removed quickly, or the contamination was not serious enough to require Federal Superfund action or NPL
consideration.

5. Introduction to Transaction Screen Questionnaire
5.1 Process-The transaction screen process consists of asking questions
contained within the transaction screen questionnaire of owners and occupants of
the property, observing site conditions at the property with direction provided by the
transaction screen questionnaire, and, to the extent reasonably ascertainable,
conducting limited research regarding certain government records and certain
standard historical sources. The questions asked of owners are the same questions
as those asked of occupants.
5.2 Guide The transaction screen questionnaire is followed by a guide
designed to assist the person completing the transaction screen questionnaire. The
guide to the transaction screen questionnaire is set out in Sections 7 through 10 of
this practice. The guide is divided into three sections: Guide for Owner/Occupant
Inquiry, Guide to Site Visit, and Guide to Government Records/Historical Sources
Inquiry.
5.2.1 To assist the user, its employee or agent, or the environmental professional
in preparing a report, the guide repeats each of the questions set out in the transaction
screen questionnaire in both the guide for owner/occupant inquiry and the guide to
site visit. The questions regarding government records/historical sources inquiry are
also repeated in the guide to that section.
5.2.2 The guide also describes the procedures to be followed to determine if
reliance upon the information in a prior environmental site assessment is appropriate
under this practice.
5.2.3 A user, his employee or agent, or environmental professional conducting
the transaction screen process should not use the transaction screen questionnaire
without reference to, or familiarity from prior usage with, the guide.
5.3 User and Preparer-The user conducting the transaction screen process
is the parry seeking to perform appropriate inquiry with respect to the property. The
user may delegate the preparation of the transaction screen questionnaire to an
employee or agent of the user or may contract with a third party to prepare the
questionnaire on behalf of the user. The person preparing the questionnaire is the
preparer, who may be either the user or the person to whom the user has delegated
the preparation of the transaction screen questionnaire.
5.4 Exercise of Care The preparerconducting the transaction screen process
should use good faith efforts in determining answers to the questions set forth in the
transaction screen questionnaire. The user should take time and care to check
whatever records are in the user's possession. The preparer should ask all persons
to whom questions are directed to give answers to the best of the respondent's
knowledge. As required by Section 9601(35)(B) of CERCLA, the user or preparer
should discuss with a responsible person in authority in the user's organization (if
any) any specialized knowledge or experience relating to hazardous substances on
the property and the preparer should understand such information.
5.5 Knowledge The owner or occupant of the property to which portions of
the transaction screen questionnaire are directed should have sufficient knowledge
and experience with respect to thepropertyorin the owner's or occupant's particular
business to understand the purpose and use of the transaction screen questionnaire.
All answers should be given to the best of the owner's or occupant's actual
knowledge.
5.5.1 While the person conducting the transaction screen process has an
obligation to ask the questions set forth in the transaction screen questionnaire, in
many instances the parties to whom the questions are addressed will have no
obligation to answer them. The user is only required to obtain information to the
extent it is reasonably ascertainable.
5.5.2 If the preparer asks the questions set forth in the transaction screen
questionnaire, but does not receive any response or receives partial responses, the
questions will be deemed to have been answered provided the questions have been
asked, or were attempted to be asked, in person or by telephone and written records
have been kept of the person to whom the questions were addressed and their
responses, or the questions have been asked in writing sent by certified or registered
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by private, commercial overnight
carrier and no responses have been obtained after at least two follow-up telephone
calls were made or written request was sent again asking for responses.
5.5.3 The transaction screen questionnaire and the transaction screen guide
sometimes include the phrase "to the best of your knowledge." Use of this phrase
shall not be interpreted as imposing a constructive knowledge standard when it is not
included or as imposing anything other than an actual knowledge standard for the
person answering the questions, regardless of whether it is used. It is sometimes
included as an assurance to the person being questioned that he or she is not obligated
to search out information he or she does not currently have in order to answer the
particular question.
5.6 Conclusions Regarding Affirmative or Unknown Answers-If any of the
questions set forth in the transaction screen questionnaire are answered in the
affirmative, the user must document the reason for the affirmative answer. If any of
the questions are not answered or the answer is unknown, the user should document
such nonresponse or answer of unknown and evaluate it in light of the other
information obtained in the transaction screen process, including, in particular, the
site visit and the government records/historical sources inquiry. If the user decides
no further inquiry is warranted after receiving no response, an answer of unknown
or an affirmative answer, the user must document the reasons for any such conclu-
sion.
5.6.1 Upon obtaining an affirmative answer, an answer of unknown or no
response, the user should fast refer to the guide. The guide may provide sufficient
explanation to allow a user to conclude that no further inquiry is appropriate with
respect to the particular question.
5.6.2 If the guide to a particular question does not, in itself, permit a user to
conclude that no further inquiry is appropriate, then the user should consider other
information obtained from the transaction screen process relating to this question.
Forexample, while on the site performing asite visit, aperson may find astorage tank
on the property and therefore answer Question 10 of the transaction screen
questionnaire in the affirmative. However, during or subsequent to the owner/
occupant inquiry, the owner may produce evidence that substances now or histori-
cally contained in the tank (for example, water) are not likely to cause contamination.
5.6.3 If either the guide to the question or other information obtained during the
transaction screen process does not permit a user to conclude no further inquiry is
appropriate with respect to such question, then the user must determine, in the
exercise of the user's reasonable business judgment, based upon the totality of
unresolved affirmative answers or answers of unknown received during the transac-
tion screen process, whether further inquiry may be limited to those specific issues
identified as of concern or should proceed with a full Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment.
5.7 Presumption-A presumption exists that further inquiry is necessary if an
affirmative answer is given to a question or because the answer was unknown or no
response was given. In rebutting this presumption, the user should evaluate
information obtained from each component of the transaction screen process and
consider whethersufficient information has been obtained to conclude that no further
inquiry is necessary. The user must determine, in the exercise of the user's
reasonable business judgment, the scope of such further inquiry: whether to proceed
with a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment prepared in accordance with Practice
E 1527 or a lesser inquiry directed at specific issues raised by the questionnaire.
5.8 Furtherlnquiry UnderPracticeE1527-Upon completing the transaction
screen questionnaire, if the user concludes that a Phase 1 Environmental Site
Assessment is needed, the user should proceed with such inquiry with the advice and
guidance of an environmental professional. Such further inquiry should be under-
taken in accordance with Practice E 1527.
5.9 Signature The user and the preparer of the transaction screen question-
naire must complete and sign the questionnaire as provided at the end of the
questionnaire.

6. Transaction Screen Questionnaire
6.1 Persons to Be Questioned-The following questions should be asked of (1)
the current owner of the property, (2) any major occupant of the property or, if the
property does not have any major occupants, at least 10% of the occupants of the
property, and (3) in addition to the current owner and the occupants identified in (2),
any occupant likely to be using, treating, generating, storing, or disposing of
hazardous substances or petroleum products on or from the property. A major
Description of Site: Address:
Y,
occupant is any occupant using at least 40% of the leasable area of the property or
any anchor tenant when the property is a shopping center. Ina multifamily property
containing both residential and commercial uses, the preparer does not need to ask
questions of the residential occupants. The preparer should ask each person to
answer all questions to the best of the respondent's actual biowledge and in good
faith. When completing the site visit column, the preparer should be sure to observe
the property and any buildings and other structures on the property. The guide
provides further details on the appropriate use of this questionnaire.

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Introduction
¦ The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is currently being required by State and
Federal regulatory agencies to mitigate for impacts to streams as a result of transportation improvement
projects. Langley and McDonald, P.C. has identified several sites throughout the Neuse River Basin as
candidates for compensatory stream restoration. It is the intention of NCDOT to purchase or secure
agreements to utilize approximately 50 feet on both sides of each candidate stream (as measured from
top of bank) to conduct restoration activities and thereafter establish a perpetual conservation
easement. Such restoration activities may involve excavating banks and relocating portions of the
stream channel.
As part of a stream restoration site feasibility analysis Langley and McDonald, P.C. has performed a
Transaction Screen Process (TSP) in conformance with the scope and limitations of the American
Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Practice E 1528-97 and those discussed herein. This
investigation has been completed for Morrisville Community Park located just northeast of the Davis
Drive and Morrisville PKWY intersection in Wake County, North Carolina (hereinafter referred to as
"the subject property").
The purpose of this TSP is to determine if there are any "recognized environmental conditions" (RECs)
as defined in ASTM E 1528-97, which would create environmental liability or limit the use of the site.
The TSP was designed to address the "innocent landowner defense" provision of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980 and "all appropriate
inquiry" in preparation of due diligence investigations under the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986.
1.2 Findings and Conclusions
Based on a review of select government records, on-site reconnaissance of the subject property, visual
reconnaissance of adjoining properties, and the Transaction Screen Questionnaire, this assessment has
revealed no RECs within the subject property.
1.3 Recommendations
No further environmental site assessment is recommended to be undertaken with regard to the subject
property.
2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
Morrisville Community Park totals 14.15 acres and is currently being used as a public recreational
facility. The property was designed as an athletic field/outdoor concert area and contains playground
and picnic structures. An unnamed tributary of Crabtree Creek crosses from west to east through the
North Carolina Department of Transportation December, 1998
Langley and McDonald, P.C. No. 1960024-018.00 Page 1

park and is the area of primary focus. The tributary passes through a wetland area which is currently
experiencing an increase in beaver activity. Earthen fill material has been placed in the flood plane of
the noted reach to construct the recreation field. Surface drainage features have been excavated
through the fill material (perpendicular to the stream) for conveying excess storm runoff.
3.0 RECORDS REVIEW
Sanborn fire insurance maps were researched for historical information but were not available for this
area (Attachment A). Information from the following standard environmental record sources was
provided to Langley and McDonald, P.C. by Vista Information Solutions, Inc. (Vista). A review of the
data was performed to identify past activities that could potentially result in recognized environmental
conditions (RECs) at the subject property or within a search distance from the subject property as
specified by ASTM Practice E 1528-97. The following is a list of standard environmental record
sources and their recommended search distances.

Collectively, these databases consist of entries containing the names and/or locations of reported
hazardous waste sites, generators, transporters, reported pollution and hazardous waste spills (including
LUSTs), landfills and registered USTs in North Carolina. All reported treatment, storage and disposal
(TSD) facilities are contained in RCRA Notifier Facilities database entries. A review of the report
provided by Vista revealed no RECs within the respective minimum search distances of the subject
property (Attachment A).
4.0 SITE RECONNAISSANCE
The subject property was visually inspected by David Lewis, Project Environmental Specialist with
Langley and McDonald on November 18, 1998. The ASTM Practice E 1528-97 Transaction Screen
Questionnaire was completed by David Lewis following the inspection (Attachment B). Earthy fill
material has been placed in the flood plane of the noted tributary in order to construct a recreation field.
However, based on the soil type, the material was most likely excavated from the adjacent housing
development and appears to present no impairment to the site. Further on-site reconnaissance of the
property revealed no RECs within or adjoining the subject property.
5.0 INTERVIEWS
David Lewis of Langley and McDonald administered the ASTM Practice E 1528-97 Transaction
Screen Questionnaire via fax to Mr. Alan Carroll, Parks and Recreation Director on November 16,
1998. Information from the completed questionnaire shows no RECs to be associated with the subject
property. Mr. Carroll stated that the property was acquired by the Town of Morrisville eight years ago,
at which time the site was modified for park use.
6.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Based on a review of select government records, on-site reconnaissance of the subject property, visual
reconnaissance of adjoining properties and the Transaction Screen Questionnaire, no RECs were found
within or adjoining the subject property.

This document is an excerpt of Practice E 1528-96: Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Transaction Screen
Process, which is under the jurisdiction of AST!YI Committee E-50 on Environmental Assessment and is the direct responsibility
of Subcommittee E 50.02 on Commercial Real Estate Transactions. This questionnaire represents only Sections 5 and 6 of Practice
E 1528.96 and should not be construed as being the complete standard. It is necessary to refer to the full standard prior to using
this questionnaire. COPYRIGHT®1996 ArMIERICAN SOCIETY FOR TESTING AND MATERIALS, West Conshohocken,

questionnaire,
S. Introduction to Transaction Screen Questionnaire
5.1 process---The transaction screen process consists of asking questions
contained within the transaction screen questionnaire of owners and occupants of
the property. observing site conditions at the property with direction provided by the
transaction screen questionnaire, and. to the extent reasonably ascertainable,
standard hgistlited ori cal so nets The questions certain government records asked of owners are the sarnetqucstions
as those asked of occupants.
5.2 Guide--The transaction screen questionnaire is followed by a guide
designed to assist the person completing the transaction screen quesrfonnalre. The
guide to the transaction screen questionnaire is set out in Sections 7 through 10 of
t:-is practice. The guide is divided into three sections: Guide for Owner/Occupant
Inquiry , Guide to Site Visit, and Guide to Government Records/Historical Sources
Inquiy.
5.2.1 To assist the user, its employee or agent, or the environmental p rofessional
in preparing areport, the guide repeats each of the questions set out in the transaction
;trees questionnaire in both the guide for owner/occrtpant inquiry and the guide to
site visit. The 5tiestions regarding government rccords/historieal sources inquiry arc
also repeated in the guide to that section.
5.2.2 The guide also describes the procedures to be followed to determine if
reliance upon the information in a prior environmental site assesrmentis appropriate
under this practice.
5.2.3 A suer, his employee or agent, or environmental professional conducting
the transaction screen process should not use the transacrlor screen questionnaire
without reference to, or familiarity from prior usage with, the guide.
5.3 User and Prep arerThe user conducting the transaction screer, process
is the party seeking to perform appropriate inquiry with respect to the property. The
user stay delegate the preparation of the transaction screen questionnaire to an
employee or agent of the user or may contract with a third party to prepare the
questionnaire on behalf of the user. The person preparing the questionnaire is the
preparer, who may be either the user or the person to whom the user has delegated
the preparation of the transaction screen questionnaire.
5.4 Exercise of CareThe preparer conducting the transaction screen process
should use good faith efforts in determining answers to the questions set forth to the
.ransae:tor, screen questionnaire. The user should take time and care to check
whatever records are in the user's possession. The preparer should ask all persons
to whom questions ate directed to give answers to the best of the respondent's
knowledge. As required by Section 9601(35)(H) of C ERCLA, the user or preparer
should discuss with a responsible person in authority in the user's organization (if
rs should understand such information substances on
any) the pan v pry and s he prepore knowledge
th
5.5 Knowledge-The owner or occupant of the property to which portions of
the transaction screen questionnaire are directed should have sufficient knowledge
and ex r_rer ce with respect to the property or in the owner's or occupant's particular
business to understand the purpose and use of the transaction screen questionnaire.
All answers should be given to the best of the owner's or occupant's actual
knowledge.
5.5.1 while the person conducting the iransaerior screen process has an
obligation to ask the questions set forth in the rransaction screen ques:ionnaire. in
^any instances the parties to whom the questions are addressed will have no
obligaticn to answer them. The user is only required to obtain information to the
extent it is reasonably ascertainable.
5.5 2 If the preparer asks the questions set forth in the transaction screen
quesr;oruieire. but does not receive any response or receives partial responses, the
questions wilt be deemed to have been answered provided the questions have been
asked, or were attempted to be asked, in person or by telephone and written records
have been kept of the person to whom the questions were addressed and their
responses, or the questions have been asked in writing sent by certified or registered
mail, roturn receipt requested. postage prepaid, or by private, commercial overnight
carrier and no responses have been obtained after at least two follow-up telephone
calls were made or written request was sent again asking for responses.
5.5.5 The transaction screen questionnaire and the :rawacrion screer guide
sometimes include the phrase "to the best of your knowledge:' Use of this phi- se
shall not be interpreted as imposing a constructive knowledge standard when it is no:
included or as imposing anything other than an actual lusowledge standard for the
person answering the questions, regardless of whether it is used. It is sometimes
included as an assurance to the person being questioned that he or she is not obligated
to search out information he or she does not currently have in order to answer the
particular question.
5.6 Conclusions Regarding cif rntative or Unknown Answers-If any of the
questions set forth in the transaction screen questionnaire arc answered in the
affia^ativc, the user must document the reason for the affu'mntive answer. If any of
the questions are not answered or the answer rs unknown. the user should document
such nonresponse or answer of unknown and evaluate it in light of the other
information obtained in the transaction screen process, including in particul r, the
site visit and the government records/historical sources inquiry. If the user decides
no further inquiry is warranted after receiving no response, an answer of unknown
or an affirmative answer, the user must document the reasons for any such conclu-
Sion.
5.6.1 Upon obtaining are. affirmative answer. an answer of unknown or no
response, the user should first refer to the guide. The guide may provide sufficient
explanation to allow a user to conclude that no further inquiry is appropriate with.
respect to the particular question.
5.6.2 If the guide to a particular question does not, in itself, pernut a user to
conclude that no further inquiry is appropriate, then the user should consider other
information obtained from the rrarsacnon screen process relating to this question..
For example, while on the site performing asite visit, a person may find a storage tan::
on the propem' and therefore answer Question 10 of the transaction scree:
questionnaire in the affirmative. However, during or subsequent to the owrert
occupant inquiry, the owner may produce -evidence that substances now or piston.
tally contained in the tank (forexample, water) are notlikely to cause contarrinatior.
5.6.3 If either the guide to the question or other information obtained during the
transaction screen process does not permit a user to conclude no further inquiry is
appropriate with respect to such question, then the user must determine, in the
exercise of the user's reasonable business Judgment, based upon the totalir.- of
unresolved affirmative answers or answers of unknown received during the trawac-
tion screen process, whether further inquiry may be limited to these specific issues
identified as of concern or should proceed with a full Phase 1 Envirormcrral Sac
Assessment.
5.7 Presumption-Apresumption exists that fu t.*ter enquiry is necessary if art
affirmative answer is given to a question or because the answer was unknown or tic
response was given. In rebutting this presumption, the user should evaluate
information obtained from each component of the transaction screen process and
conoderwhether sufftciert information has been obtained to conclude that no further
inquiry is necessary. The user must determine, in the exercise of the user'.i
reasonable business judgment, the scope of such further inquiry: whether to protect
with a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment prepared in accordance with Practice
E 1527 or a lesser inquiry directed at specific issues raised by the questionnrirc.
5.8 Further Inquiry Under Practice E 1527-Upon completingtherransucrior
screen questionnaire, if the user concludes that a Phase I Environmental Site
Asscssmenr is needed, the user should proceed with such inquiry with the advice and
guidance of an environmental professional. Such further inquiry shouid be under-
taken in accordance with Practice E 1527.
5.9 Signature-The user and the preparer of the transaction screen question-
naire must complete and sign the questionnaue as provided at the end of the
questionnaire.

Vegetation-Target survival should try to mindc reference site with as close as
possible the same percentage of each species.
Hydrology-Water Budget
-Should use Station Neuse (2NE) for preeip. data-only a few
mules bom site and same elevation. (see website www.nc-
0m,ate mu edu!)
-PET (done for what vegetation class; forested or grass)
-PET-if using Thornthwaite, need to use conversion factors
(A,matya, Skaggs)-gets warm season results more in line.
-In water budget, might need to consider channel overflow as
input and surface outflow, deep seepage as outputs. Where is
impermeable layer in soil profile? Might use stream gage to
append the model during monitoring period.
-Monitoring wells
-need a map showing location of wells
-monitoring frequencies of wells-daily during growing season
to accurately show consecutive days above datum.
-preferably using RDS wells-ease of monitoring
-Reference Site-would be better to base success criteria on modeling the
reference site, in other words replacing function and not just satisfying
delineation criteria.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The overall goals of the Northern Wake Expressway Waters of the U.S. Restoration Site Search and
Feasibility Analysis were to:
1. Identify sufficient stream reach lengths to mitigate for all anticipated stream impacts for sections AA
through G of the Expressway, and
2. Study the feasibility of utilizing the top eleven sites that were ranked the highest and appear to be
sufficient to satisfy all restoration requirements.
These investigations reviewed public lands only in an attempt to identify sites that would satisfy
regulatory requirements and maintain the construction schedule for the Expressway. The other primary
objective was to identify sites in watersheds least threatened by future development to avoid future
changes in the watershed's hydrology and hydraulics. Ongoing development within a watershed will
change the hydraulics of a stream whenever stormwater attenuation is not required. Stabilized streams,
even those stabilized with structural materials can undergo substantial alteration in such developing
watersheds. In an attempt to avoid such conditions, Langley and McDonald typically identified
restoration sites in this rapidly developing watershed where land use conditions were not going to
change substantially. Such situations were typically located in the upper reaches of watersheds. In
addition, Langley and McDonald (L&M) tried to identify sites with the fewest infrastructure or other
constraints to minimize construction costs. Sites selected were, therefore, minimally constrained, lower-
energy streams within the upper reaches of developed watersheds.
This report presents the results from the feasibility analysis of three stream restoration sites needed for
the immediate permitting of Sections EA and EB of the Northern Wake Expressway. This first report is
part of Langley and McDonald's larger investigation to identify and evaluate all reaches needed to
satisfy the permit requirements for the entire Expressway.
On October 29, 1998, Langley and McDonald submitted an interim list of the most promising 11 sites
out of the 61 that were evaluated during the site search. Three sites; R-1, G-1 and M-1, found in Raleigh,
Garner and Morrisville respectively, were determined through preliminary ranking to be highest priority.
These sites were chosen based on qualities that would allow them to be quickly utilized for cost effective
and successful restoration. Each of the three sites have been analyzed and their site descriptions,
constraints and conceptual planning are described in detail in this report.
During the course of this investigation, the requirements for stream restoration increased from 3,818 11.
to 5,113 l.f. The three sites selected total 4,850 11. and therefore are 263 feet less than the current
requirement. One of the three sites evaluated (Jaycee Park), may increase an additional 600 l.f. if private
property owners are willing to allow use of their lands.

The Worthdale Park site represents the most unconstrained restoration opportunity. The three tributaries
flow through a small, fully developed watershed. They have access on both banks and the City of
Raleigh has identified the need for, and expressed their willingness to allow, stream restoration at the
Park.
The Jaycee Park site contains the most constraints, principally infrastructure issues including sewer and
water lines, stormwater outfalls and overhead power lines. This reach is near the top of the fully
developed Reedy Creek watershed. Available stormwater data from the Town of Garner indicates that
the road crossing at the northern boundary of the study sites experiences 0.78 feet of flooding during the
10 year storm and will worsen slightly to 0.85 feet of flooding upon complete development in the
watershed. The culverted crossing at the southern boundary of the project site will flood by 0.11 feet
during a 10 year storm event after complete development, and currently floods during storm events equal
to or larger than the 25 year storm. The Town has no plans to improve these conditions because there is
no threat to structures. Any additional flood storage created by this stream restoration effort may
alleviate these hydraulic conditions to some degree. Construction access is available from both banks in
most areas. The Town has acknowledged the need for, and willingness to allow, stream restoration at
the Park. An additional 600 linear feet (l.f.) of restoration may be possible immediately upstream of the
study site. The City possesses a sanitary sewer easement over this reach and is interested in pursuing
restoration, although coordination with private property owners has not yet been performed.
i The Morrisville Park site also contains a relatively unconstrained restoration opportunity. However,
these tributaries flow through a much larger and rapidly developing watershed. There is access to both
banks only on the western portion of the main tributary and operability may be limited during wet
weather. Some jurisdictional wetland areas may be present in the floodplain of Crabtree Creek. The
Town has indicated a potential willingness to participate. The need for stream restoration at the Park
will grow increasingly evident with the advance of rapid development upstream of the Park. Future
alterations to the flow regime will therefore present a challenge to the restoration design. For this reason
the restoration plan focuses on establishing a vegetated buffer that will aid in maintaining bank
stabilization as the watershed continues to develop.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
On October 29, 1998, L&M submitted an interim listing of the most promising 11 candidate sites out of
the 61 public sites evaluated during the site search. Three sites; R-1, G-1 and M-1, found in Raleigh,
Garner and Morrisville respectively, were determined through preliminary ranking to be the best
candidates for restoration. The amount of restoration potential at each park is shown in Table 1.
Table 1. - Restoration Potential for Priority Parks.
SITE MUNICIPALITY LENGTH
Worthdale Park (R-1) Raleigh 1,800
Jaycee Park (G-1) Garner 1,800
Morrisville Park (M-1) Morrisville 1,250
Total 4,850
This Stream Restoration Site Feasibility Report is intended to assist NCDOT in evaluating the top three
publicly owned sites identified in the Neuse River Basin within Wake County (Figure 1), necessary to
satisfy Section 404 and 401 permitting requirements for Sections EA and EB of the Northern Wake
Expressway (R-2000). This report describes the existing conditions of Worthdale Park (R-1), Jaycee
Park (G-1) and Morrisville Park (M-1); explores each site's restoration constraints; and presents
conceptual plans to illustrate possible methods of restoration and/or resolving limitations posed by
certain constraints. The site search methodology, including the feasibility rating index, used to generate
the list of priority restoration sites is described in detail in the forthcoming L&M document titled
Northern Wake Expressway Waters of the US. Restoration Site Search and Feasibility Analysis.
The construction of all sections (A through G) of the Northern Wake Expressway in Wake and Durham
Counties will impact approximately 18,000 linear feet (l.f.) of "waters of the U.S". However, this report
focuses on only the immediate restoration needs to begin construction of sections EA and EB. These
sections will require 7,9701.f. of on-site relocation and off-site restoration within the Neuse River Basin.
In a letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) from William D. Gilmore, P.E., Manager,
NCDOT Planning and Environmental Branch, dated October 30, 1998 the NCDOT outlined the
following stream restoration proposal:
• Relocation on-site of 4,1521.f. of stream.
• Compensatory restoration for the remaining 3,818 l.f. at a ratio of 2:1 (7,636 l.f.). This will consist
of a combination of 1:1 debiting into the N.C. Wetland Restoration Program (WRP) for 3,818 l.f.,
and 3,818 l,f of stream restoration by NCDOT.
As a result of a subsequent interagency meeting between the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) and NCDOT, a portion of the proposed on-site channel relocation was not accepted. Langley
and McDonald was notified by the NCDOT on November 13, 1998 that the current restoration
requirement for Sections EA and EB was 5,113 11

Sites R-1, G-1 and M-1 were determined to be the best candidates and total 4,850 I.E. The sites
cumulatively total 263 l.f. less than the 5,113 l.f. required because the site selection and inspection
phases of this expedited work was completed prior to the modification of the length requirement.
However, Langley and McDonald is coordinating with private land owners and the Town of Garner the
addition of 600 l.f. adjacent to the northern boundary of the Jaycee Park site. Each of the three sites have
been analyzed in detail and site descriptions, constraints and conceptual planning are discussed below.
2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS AND IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL CONSTRAINTS
Existing site conditions have been described based on a combination of data compiled from field
observations and measurements, and geographic information system (GIS) data showing planimetric
features (roadways and structures), utilities, topography and property ownership information. Potential
constraints for stream restoration can broadly be categorized as either physical, municipal/public or
regulatory.
Constraining physical features are illustrated on each site's plan view and, when present, on each stream
cross-section . Where field measurements of physical constraints conflicted with GIS data, the figures
reflect field measurements. While utilities and adjacent land use are both illustrated on the figures and
described in the text, expected stormwater volumes and municipal and regulatory constraints are only
discussed in the text.
Evidence of the interest of each municipality to participate in the program is provided in Appendix A.
However it is important to note that community disapproval may ultimately translate into municipal
disapproval. As stream restoration is a new concept for most people, public education may be
necessary, especially among the residents adjacent to the proposed projects.
2.1 Site R-1 (Worthdale Park)
Worthdale Park is a 25.85 acre public recreational facility located between Sunnybrook Road and
Carlisle Street in Raleigh, North Carolina (Figure 2). The park is owned by the City of Raleigh and
supports a variety of recreational activities including softball, tennis and basketball. Three 1 S` order
tributaries of Walnut Creek, totaling 1800 l.f., occur on the subject property and will be the focus of
restoration activities. There has been increasing erosion along the banks of the noted stream reaches due
to a lack of riparian vegetation and the presence of highly erodible soils. Rip-rap has recently been
placed along a portion of the most easterly reach in an attempt to stabilize the channel.
2.1.1 Drainage Analysis
There are three tributaries to Walnut Creek proposed for restoration treatments. The contributing
watershed of the noted tributaries of Walnut Creek has been calculated as 230 acres. Greg Hallahn,
Planner for the City of Raleigh was contacted on December 7, 1998 to discuss current and future rates of
land development in the noted watershed. Mr. Hallahn indicated that the primary land use in the
watershed is residential and there have been no recent approvals for development. He also indicated that

although the majority of this area was fully developed, there is the potential for future non-commercial
development in the northeastern corner of the watershed. Future stormwater hydraulics are not
anticipated to be substantially different than existing conditions, even though the watershed is highly
developed.
1 2.1.2 Infrastructure Review
Digital infrastructure mapping for the City of Raleigh was acquired by Langley and McDonald and used
as coverages in a GIS. Structures revealed through GIS mapping were verified through site visits and
illustrated in Figure 2. Although there are comparatively few constraints at the park, sewer lines and
sewer line crossings may be significant issues. Potential constraints include the sewer line next to the
tennis courts east of the central tributary, and the sewer line, foot bridge and playground fence adjacent
to the eastern tributary. There are also perpendicular sewer line crossings of the western and central
tributaries at the northern property line parallel to the road. Although the existing infrastructure
constraints will have to be incorporated into the plans for this park, they are comparatively few and do
not cause this site to be dropped from consideration.
2.1.3 Transaction Screening Process
A review of select government records reveals one leaking underground storage tank (LUST) occurring
on a commercial property within a 0.5 mile radius (ASTM Practice E 1528-97 recommended search
distance) of Worthdale Park. This LUST, however, does not appear to present an impairment due to its
location outside of the immediate drainage area of the subject property.
Based on the Transaction Questionnaire, two pole-mounted transformers and a softball complex, which
was formerly a waste treatment plant, were identified as Recognized Environmental Concerns (RECs)
on and adjacent to the subject property. The transformers are regularly maintained and therefore do not
appear to present an impairment to the subject property. The softball complex also does not appear to
present an impairment due to its location outside of the immediate drainage area of the subject property.
An on-site reconnaissance of the subject property and visual reconnaissance of adjoining properties
revealed no further RECS. Further information can be found in the TSP included in Appendix C of this
report.
2.1.4 Municipal and Public Coordination
The City of Raleigh has expressed interest in allowing NCDOT to conduct stream restoration in
Worthdale Park as stated in its letter addressed to Alice Gordon of the NCDOT Planning and
Environmental Branch, from Dempsey E. Benton, Manager for the City of Raleigh (Appendix A).
However, the City stated that final approval would be contingent upon careful consideration of the
following issues during project design:
• For the safe operation of the Park, it is important that the public has visibility from one side of the
park to the other and can easily access each side of the park from the other.

• The city will not assume any maintenance responsibilities during the period immediately following
the installation, however, the City will become responsible for permanent maintenance at some
point.
• Any permits, certifications and/or approvals necessary for the project will be obtained by NCDOT
prior to installation.
2.1.5 Protected Species/Cultural Resources
In a letter dated, November 4, 1998, Susan Reece Giles of the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Recreation was contacted to determine the
presence of, or potential for, rare, threatened, and/or endangered species on Worthdale Park and any
listings of unique or rare natural community types in the surrounding areas. She responded by letter on
November 23,1998. It was determined that The Walnut Creek Bottomland Forest Significant Natural
Heritage Area comprises the southern portion of the Park and receives waters from the three noted
tributaries. However, this portion of the park property is wooded and will not be negatively impacted by
r, restoration activities upstream.
In a letter dated, November 4, 1998, Renee Gledhill-Earley of the North Carolina Department of
Cultural Resources, Division of Archives and History was contacted to determine the presence of known
archaeological resources on Worthdale Park. David Brook responded by letter on November 23,1998. It
was determined that no archaeological resources, which may be eligible for inclusion in the National
Register of Historic Places, exist on the Park property and therefore no archaeological investigation is
warranted.
The response letters from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Department of
Cultural Resources are included in Appendix B of this report.
2.2 Site G-1 (Jaycee Park)
Jaycee Park is a 3.47-acre public recreational facility situated along 1800 l.f. of a 1" order portion of
Reedy Branch between Sycamore Drive and Vandora Springs Elementary School (Figures 3A and 3B).
The Park is owned by the Town of Garner, N.C. and includes both east and west banks of the noted
stream reach. This reach has experienced a high level of degradation as evident from the gully
formations, collapsing banks and extensive bed cutting. The adjacent property west of the park is owned
by the Wake County Board of Education and is currently in use as a playground for the School. Park
structures are located within the flood plain of Reedy Branch and include a wooden bridge, playground
equipment and picnic areas. The Town has proposed the addition of the contiguous upstream reach
between Vandora Avenue and Lakeside Drive (600 l.f.). This section is north of the park boundary and
falls within a 50-foot sewerline easement. It is not included in the total linear footage total, as the need
for coordination with the adjacent landowners has not been resolved.

Relocation of the channel slightly westward and/or natural revetments to protect the sewer line is
anticipated. Earthwork necessary to expand the floodplain and/or reduce bank slopes may be conducted
but coordination is necessary with the adjacent land owner. Natural revetments (e.g. fascines) will likely
be applied where the stream course is constrained. Low growing riparian vegetation could be
established in the flood plain and will need to be maintained in the sewer easement. The application of
core logs and mats may also be useful to provide stability and promote re-vegetation, as bank slopes will
remain steeper than preferred. Some improvement in meander geometry may be possible to promote
non-structural stability.
Figure 8c shows the incised channel and steep banks at this cross-section. Sewer and overhead power
lines are within 25 and 5 feet of the east bank, respectively. A stormwater outfall also enters from the
east near this area. Excavation may be somewhat limited in this area as evidenced by the relatively
shallow depth to bedrock. This cross-section appeared qualitatively to be nearer to a stable form than
the other two.
Excavation in this area will be limited mainly to the east side of the creek because the property line of a
private residence exists near the west side of the northern quarter of the Park reach. Natural revetments
(e.g. live crib-walls) may be necessary between the sewer line and the bank since the stream course is
constrained. The establishment of unconstrained meanders will likely not be achieved due to constraints
but will be attempted wherever possible The slope of the stream banks can be reduced somewhat and
stabilized with acceptable low growing riparian vegetation to reduce future erosion. Plant selection
would transition to those typically associated with residences along the adjacent homes. The application
of core logs and mats may also be useful in areas where bank slopes will remain steeper than preferred.
3.3 Site M-1 (Morrisville Park)
The tributaries to Crabtree Creek within Morrisville Park have been degraded through filling within the
floodplain, channel straightening and the partial clearing of the woody riparian buffer for park use and
by beavers. Of the sites discussed in this report, Morrisville Park is currently the least degraded system,
possessing at least herbaceous, and some woody, natural riparian vegetation. It also has the largest
watershed and is undergoing very rapid and higher density development. Therefore, a substantial
increase in storm flow will result. The ongoing development of the watershed poses a challenge to
provide restoration measures that will be resilient to future increases in storm volumes and thus erosive
forces. Beaver populations will likely diminish in this rapidly urbanizing setting. The Morrisville
Department of Parks has instituted a beaver eradication program within the Park. Vehicular access to
the site, as it relates to construction, is good but may be restricted during wet weather.
Goals for this site will be to establish increased flood plain storage, a substantial woody riparian buffer
and provide more stable banks on the small tributary. The expansion of the riparian zone is one of the
most important steps that can be taken to buffer the stream from future increases in stormwater flow.
The need for channel course modifications could not be readily ascertained due to the high water levels
maintained by the beaver dams.

Figure 9a shows the cross-section of the smaller, intermittent tributary located adjacent to the park
access road. This view shows a property line constraint but the opposite side of the stream is owned by
the park and appears to be unconstrained. No beaver activity was observed in this reach.
A stable bankfull cross section, meander pattern and slope can likely be constructed in this reach due to
the availability of land, although the amount of future development in this sub-basin must be confirmed.
The slope of the stream's banks can be decreased (e.g. to 3:1 or 4:1) and stabilized with more substantial
woody riparian vegetation. It is recommended that woody plantings in this area be protected from
herbivory.
Figure 9b shows a cross-section at a point on the eastern portion of the main tributary. This view shows
an elevated water level due to current beaver activity. The stream possess a wide riparian zone on only
one side. The floodplain and riparian zone on the side containing the Park is limited by previous fill
and mowing.
A lack of lateral constraints allows for the establishment of a wider riparian zone and possibly more
flood storage. This will be achieved by removing previous fill to widen the riparian zone to 50 feet.
Establishing an expanded vegetated buffer is perhaps one of the most substantial efforts that can be
performed to stabilize the banks from the erosive forces of future development in the watershed. Any
woody plantings in this area will need to be protected from herbivory.
4.0 CONCLUSION
Langley and McDonald
(L&M) has identified Worthdale Park (R-1), Jaycee Park (G-1) and Morrisville
Park (M-1) as the most suitable sites for stream restoration and enhancement to compensate for 5,113 l.f
of stream impacts associated with Sections EA and EB of the Northern Wake Expressway (R-2000). As
a consequence of this feasibility study, no constraints were identified that would cause any of these sites
to be dropped from consideration.
A comparison of constraints among sites is provided in the Stream Restoration Feasibility Index (Table
2). This Index was developed to assess stream restoration feasibility for sites by assigning scores to
threshold criteria. Each criteria is scored with a value of either 1, 3 or 5. The higher a score for a
particular feasibility criteria, the greater the likelihood of successful restoration. Sites with the greatest
likelihood of successful restoration will have the highest overall score relative to the other sites being
compared. This analysis found that the Worthdale Park site scored the highest and thus is the highest
priority sites (score of 51) relative to Jaycee and Morrisville Parks (which each had a score of 45).
s
Worthdale Park represents the most unconstrained restoration opportunity. The three tributaries flow
through a small, fully developed watershed. The City of Raleigh has independently identified the need
for stabilization at this site and has agreed to allow the NCDOT to perform stream restoration at the
park. Construction access is generally available from both banks of each tributary.

Jaycee Park contains the most constraints, principally infrastructure issues including sewer and water
lines, power poles, and stormwater outfalls. This reach is near the top of the fully developed Reedy
Creek watershed. The Town of Garner provided Stormwater calculations for a previous study to L&M.
They reveal a potential flooding problem at the Lakeside Drive culvert during a two year storm. The
Town recently installed box culverts under Vandora Avenue, north of the park. The Town had
independently determined a need to stabilize the reach and has agreed in principal to allow the NCDOT
to perform stream restoration at the Park.. Construction access is available from both banks.
Morrisville Park also contains a relatively unconstrained restoration opportunity. However, these
tributaries flow through a much larger and rapidly developing watershed. There is construction access to
both banks only on the western portion of the main tributary and operability may be limited during wet
weather. Some jurisdictional wetland areas may be present in the floodplain of Crabtree Creek. The
Town has indicated in writing a potential willingness to participate. The need for stream restoration at
the park will grow increasingly evident with the advance of the widespread rapid development upstream
of the park. However, the variation in flows will present a challenge in the design of a stable restoration
plan. For this reason the restoration plan involves establishing a vegetated buffer that will aid in
maintaining bank stabilization as the watershed continues to develop.
Sites R-1, G-1 and M-1 total 4,850 11 of restoration opportunity. Langley and McDonald is currently
coordinating with private landowners and the Town of Garner to determine the use of an additional 600
l.f. of stream reach adjacent to the northern boundary of Jaycee Park, which would bring the total stream
restoration plan to 5,4501.f.
The balance of the site search is intended to determine the feasibility of the remaining eight public sites
to satisfy the remaining 10,0301.f. of compensation required for all other sections of R-2000.

Subject: Permit Issues on NCDOT R-2000AB in Wake County
Eric and Nikki, a K , OO')q I to v
The Department is currently finishing construction of all culverts and pipes associated
with R-2000AB in southern Wake County. Several issues concerning stability at several
permit sites have become apparent at this time. These issues are addressed below.
Additionally, please see scanned images of permit drawings (and Plan Sheet 9) that depict
these sites.
All activities addressed below are all located within our existing permitted stream
footprint. No new impacts to wetlands and streams will occur at these sites based on the
issues addressed in this email. All sites are in the Cape Fear River basin; therefore, no
buffer issues are relevant to these issues. Because no additional jurisdictional impacts
will occur at these sites, we do not believe that a permit modification is required for the
issues addressed in this email. Please let me know if you agree with my assessment of
these issues.
Site 1
Permit Drawing 10 of 67 (dated 7/03)
Issue: The NCDOT proposes to install Class B rip rap along the creek bank from the end
of the headwall to the limits of the permitted stream impact. This will provide long-term
bank stability.
Permit Assessment: The additional rip rap will be limited to within our existing permitted
stream footprint. Because no additional stream impact will occur, we do not believe that
a permit mod is required for this site.
Site 1
Permit Drawing 11 of 67 (dated 7/03)
Issue: The NCDOT proposes to install Class I rip rap within the limits of the lateral base
ditch in the "excavation in wetlands" portion of the permit site. A significant amount of
water travels in the lateral base ditch and the placement of the rip rap will provide
stability prior to release into the wetland.
Permit Assessment: The rip rap is limited to within our existing "excavation in wetlands"
permit footprint. This excavation in wetland impact has previously been permitted as a

permanent wetland impact (see NCDOT permit application dated 7/18/03). Because no
additional wetland impact will occur, we do not believe that a permit mod is required for
this site.

Issue: The NCDOT proposes to install Class I rip rap along the creek bank from the end
of the culvert wing walls to the limits of the permitted stream impact. This will provide
long-term bank stability.
Permit Assessment: The additional rip rap will be limited to within our existing permitted
stream footprint. Because no additional stream impact will occur, we do not believe that
a permit mod is required for this site.

of the pipe head wall to the limits of the permitted stream impact. This will provide long-
term bank stability.
Permit Assessment: The additional rip rap will be limited to within our existing permitted
stream footprint. Because no additional stream impact will occur, we do not believe that
a permit mod is required for this site.
Site 5
Permit Drawing 29 of 67 (dated 7/03)

the 600 mm structure to where the base ditch ties into Kit Creek. This will provide long-
term stability to the base ditch.
Permit Assessment: Because no additional stream impact will occur, we do not believe
that a permit mod is required for this site.

Permit Drawing 35 of 67 (Rev.) (dated 6/9/04)
Issue: The NCDOT proposes to install Class B rip rap along the creek bank from the end
of the culvert wing walls to the limits of the permitted stream impact. This will provide
long-term bank stability.
Permit Assessment: The additional rip rap will be limited to within our existing permitted
stream footprint. Because no additional stream impact will occur, we do not believe that
a permit mod is required for this site.
Plan Sheet 9
Issue: The NCDOT proposes to install Class I rip rap along the southeast streambank of

Kit Creek. The stream in this are has naturally occurring vertical banks and the tie in
point of the lateral base ditch to the vertical banks of Kit Creek has resulted in an
unstable streambank.
Permit Assessment: No permit drawing covers this area; however, this entire reach of
Kit Creek was permitted as a total take due to construction of R-2000AB and the
FUTURE construction of Triangle Parkway. Because no additional stream impact will
occur, we do not believe that a permit mod is required for this site.
We thank you in advance for your review of the material contained in this email. As
stated above, no additional jurisdictional impacts will occur at these sites. The sites are
located in the Cape Fear River basin. Therefore, we do not believe that a permit mod is
required for these issues.

LAKE WHEELER MITIGATION SITE
and
PHILLIPS SITE
Land Management Plan
2005
PROJECT SUMMARY
The North Carolina Department of Transportation .(NCDOT.) has
acquired land consisting of two mitigation sites: the 58.94 acre Phillips
Site (State Project #8.U4o7772) and the 114 acre Lake:Wheeler Mitigation site
(State Project # 8.U407707). These two sites were acquired by NCD.OT as
mitigation for wetland impacts that occurred on segments. of the
Northern Wake Expressway Project (R-2000). The sites are. currently.
managed by NCDOT but the Department is interested- in transferring .its
interests in the property to another agency:that has experience in
managing open space. For the purposes of-this management- plan these .
two sites have been combined into a single, parcel..A:ny conveyance. f
the property must be approved by US ArmyCorps.of Engineers (USACE).
The City of Raleigh is interested in the acquisition of this property.
as part of its greenway system. Being a part of the greenway.system,:the
land would remain in a natural condition and the City would install a
single trail through the property that would provide opportunities to the
public for passive recreation and interpretation such as, but not limited
to, bird watching and nature study. In acquiring these properties the City
would assume the management and operation responsibilities.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation and the City of
Raleigh seek approval from the US Army Corps of Engineers to transfer
the ownership of the Phillips Site and the Lake Wheeler Mitigation site to
the City.
lp

SITE DESCRIPTION
This property is comprised of two mitigation sites: the 114 acre
Lake Wheeler Site (State Project#8.0407701; TAP#R-2000CA)and the Phillips
Site consisting of nearly 60 acres (State Project#8.U4o1772; T/P#R-2000E).
Both properties were acquired by the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) in order to fulfill wetland mitigation
responsibilities associated with segments of the North Wake Expressway
in.accordance with the United States Army Corp:of..Engineers:(USACE) .
permit requirements. These two sites will be referred to asth.e..Lake
Wheeler Mitigation Property throughout the, rest of this document.
:;,The Lake Wheeler Mitigation Propertyconsists of:approximate ly.
1 74,.acres along both sides of Swift Creek between: Lake Wheeler Road .
an:dHwy 401 in southern Wake:County.. The-1-Swift" Creek corridor, a
tributary of the Neuse River, is under heavy-development pressure with
increased population growth and urbanization- of Wake County. Th.e:land
use :surrounding the property currently :co:nsists of a. mix of:-undeveloped
>..
land, residential subdivisions, and some:;carnmercial development. The
.,property is. located in the Wake. CountyET,J ap:proximately?.3.?miles
southwest of the Town of Garner. Lake Wheelerls located -immediately
West of the property on the opposite side of Lake Wheeler Road.
The property contains a large contiguous wetland system that
includes forested wetland, emergent wetland, successional scrub/shrub
wetland communities as well as 53 acres of upland buffer with its
associated communities of upland hardwood forest, mixed
pine/hardwood forest and scrub/shrub. Soils at the site are mostly
hydric and consist of Wehadke, Bibb, Congaree, Chewacla, Roanoke,
Altavista and Augustsa soil types.
GOALs AND OBJECTIVES
The City of Raleigh owns Lake Benson downstream of this property
as a drinking water supply. A water treatment plant is currently under
construction near the dam of Lake Benson. It is important to protect the
water quality of this lake by further protecting this important buffer from
J,

urban development. The City holds strongly to the belief that citizens
should have access to these natural areas not only for passive recreation
opportunities that facilitate physical activity and healthy living but to also
promote citizen appreciation and understanding of the value of natural
areas and wetlands. This property will be considered greenway by the
City of Raleigh and preserved in a natural state in perpetuity with the
exception of adding a greenway trail in accordance with.city ordinances
and built to Capital Area Greenway standards. A multi-use paved trail
will.be.constructed across the property in upland areas. Prior to
beginning anyconstruction, the wetland areas,. will be delineated and
everyeffort.will be made to avoid these wetland' areas. Where the
greenway rail must penetrate or cross wetland areas for connectivity
pur.poses,-.access-ible, -multi-use boardwalks will -be-constructed.
CAPITALAREA GREENWAY HISTORY =?`v
The-Raleigh Capital Area Greenway System. is-a system of linear
park=land located: along rivers, streams and creeks..jThe.-Raleigh .City
Counciffirst. adopted the Capital Area Greenway.Plan in 1,976 'as a city-
wide plan: in response to repetitive flooding events, environmental
concerns, and to provide passive recreation opportunities. The..greenway
lands are to remain in a natural condition and, provide access to the
public along these corridors.
In over a quarter century the Capital Area Greenway Plan has
remained essentially the same. From the first`adoption the Capital Area
Greenway Plan has included the Swift Creek Corridor as one segment.
There have been some minor modifications as the City of Raleigh has
grown and the citizens of the City have grown to appreciate the benefits
of this program, but the Swift Creek Corridor has remain as originally
envisioned.
From a modest beginning in 1976, the Capital Area Greenway has
made slow steady, but significant advances. In the early years, the City
focused on acquiring and building dispersed segments of the system to
provide opportunities for all residents of Raleigh an accessible
opportunity to use and enjoy the greenway. In recent years, there have
been major advances made to connect the various individual segments.
. Today the City has acquired approximately 3000 acres of greenway
lands which will remain in a natural condition in perpetuity. Over 44 miles
of trails have been constructed by the City providing opportunities for the
public to use and enjoy these natural areas. As the trails are connected,
citizens in Raleigh in the near future will,--be able-to use over 13
continuous connected miles of greenway trail along Crabtree Creek.
_:Residents.will have the opportunity of usingth'.ese low impact greenway
trails to travel from highly residential areas, in.no:rth Raleigh-to Wake
Medical Center or the North Carolina Museum.of Art,orito Umstead State
Park:
The Capital Area Greenway Plan envisions a systern that. will:,
ultimately include over 5000 acres of protected land. These lands will be
located along 270 miles of stream corridors with, opportunities for all
residents.
CAPITAL AREA GREENWAy REGULATIONS AND POLICIES.
The City of Raleigh code requires that owners of.properties that are
= subdivided or that require a site plan must either:dedicate or reserve the
greenway that is part of the Adopted Capital Area. Greenway Master Plan.
In instances where a property is deemed important for the protection of
the greenway or for connectivity, the City approaches property owners to
negotiate the acquisition in compliance with the Capital Area Greenway
Master Plan
The following Raleigh Municipal Code Citations define the
greenway, provide dedication and width requirements, and identify
nuisance management issues.

CAPITAL AREA GREEMNAY STANDARD MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The standard trail in the Capital Area Creenway system pis a 10-feet
:wide asphalt trail with 2 foot shoulders on each side.. The>trail _is aligned
---to avoid: wetland areas wherever possible. Wheh-.it is.not possible to avoid
wetlands, boardwalks are constructed across.-the- wetlands. ..The
boardwalks are typically 10-feet wide wooden. structures--usually (but not
always) supported by driven piles (see attached drawing.."Boardwalk. Cross
Section") The shoulders are either stabilized with a grass mixture or with
mulch. This treatment is dependent upon whether the area is heavily
wooded and shaded. A map is attached which shows potential
preliminary alignment alternatives. The specific alternative will be
determined after a wetland delineation is completed- prior to
construction.
The City of Raleigh employs a full-t me greenway maintenance staff
consisting of 16 employees. It is the responsibility of this crew to
monitor and maintain the greenways and associated open spaces in the
Capital Area Greenway System. The greenways are monitored and tasks
performed as described below: The City's Capital Improvement Process
provides for greenway resurfacing as needed.

CAPITAGAREA; GREENWAy Tl(PICAL CONSTRUCTION METHODS-AND'SEQUENCE
The typical greenway trail is a 10-feet wide asphalt trail with 2-foot.
shoulders on each side. Where it is not possible to avoid wetlands,
boardwalk structures will be built over the wetland areas to minimize
impacts to the wetlands.
.The City of Raleigh will engage a Professional Engineering firm
qualified to design greenway trails in floodplain-wetland areas. The
consultant, in coordination with the City, will field locate a preferred
corridor for the trail. The specific alignment of the trail will not be
determined at this stage. Additional evaluations will be completed at this
stage to determine the practicality and economic feasibility of
constructing the trail within this preferred alignment. The evaluation
completed at this time will be wetland delineation by a licensed
professional certified to perform these evaluations; a preliminary
assessment of stream bank and buffer impacts, a geotechnical evaluation
It
of the soils, and the potential need for completing a flood evaluation.
After completing these initial assessments of the trail corridor, the
preliminary alignment will be set and plans drawn. The trail plans will
include site plans showing the alignment, sediment and erosion control
plans, expanded plans of selected areas as needed, and details.
Based upon the Preliminary Plans, formal wetland delineations, stream
impacts, and buffer impacts will be evaluated an& permit applications
submitted to USACOE. and the North Carolina.-Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (DENR). Other permimwill be sought. as needed.
-Upon approval of all permits the project will; be awarded.
SUMMARY STATEMENT
It was the original intent of USACE and NCDOT:in-the mitigation
plans for this project area (State Project# 8.U40 7772 and State Project #
8u4o»o7)that this property be corveyed to. an acceptable nonprofit
conservation organization or state or local government-willing to.preserve
the land 'in .perpetuity: This objective fits with goals-.:of: the City of Raleigh:
Capital Area Greenway System. In addition, the City of Raleigh has an
incentive to preserve the natural character of this property to protect.the
Lake Benson water supply. Currently, the City.of Raleigh Parks and
Recreation Department maintains Lake Wheeler, an 800 acre lake and
park owned and operated by the City of. Raleigh and build in 1967 by the
to serve as a secondary water supply lake for the City of Raleigh. The
maintenance of the Lake Wheeler- Mitigation would be an expansion of the
maintenance services that the P&R Department is currently providing in
the area. In summary, the City of Raleigh would construct a greenway on
this property to connect from Lake Wheeler Park to US401 but would
otherwise maintain the property as it is in its current state. In doing so,
the City achieves multiple goals that are mutually beneficial to all the
associated agencies and tax payers alike via wetland preservation and
greenway connectivity.

Dear Dr. Robinson:
Reference the Department of the Army permit issued on October 10, 1996, for the discharge
of dredged and fill material in waters of the United States, including wetlands, to facilitate
construction of the Northern Wake Expressway (T.I.P. No. R-2000), Segments A, CA, CB, D, E,
F and G, crossing Kit Creek, Lower Bartons Creek, Perry Creek, the Neuse River, Beaverdam
Creek, unnamed tributaries, and adjacent wetlands, generally northwest and northeast of Raleigh,
in Wake and Durham Counties, North Carolina (Action ID. 199601917). Reference also our
September 15, 1997 modification of that permit, which authorized additional temporary impacts
associated with Segment D of the project, and approved the proposed mitigation at the
Dutchmans Creek site for segments D and CB.
In your May 8, 1998 letter, you requested that we modify the subject permit modification
conditions related to the Dutchmans Creek Mitigation Site, to delay the implementation schedule
for the mitigation, without requiring any delay in construction of the Northern Wake
Expressway.
We agree with concurrence from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission that, due to the concerns expressed by the Audubon Society and
other parties regarding the proposed mitigation, it is acceptable to delay implementation of the
mitigation plan for the purposes of further investigation. Therefore, the permit is hereby
modified such that Condition c. of the modification Special Conditions is revised as follows:
I
-2-
c. All site preparation and planting activities for Phase I at the Dutchmans Creek Mitigation
Site shall be completed by March 15, 2000. All site preparation and planting activities for Phase
II at the Dutchmans Creek Mitigation Site shall be completed by March 15, 2001. An "as built"
plan, which depicts actual tree species that were planted, their numbers and distribution, location
of monitoring wells, location of sample plots, final project elevations, and photographs shall be
submitted to the District Engineer within 60 days of mitigation site completion.
It is understood that all appropriate conditions of the original permit remain applicable.
Sincerely,
Terry R. Youngbluth

Attention: Michael D. Smith, F.W.S.
Chief, North Section
Dear Sir:
Subject: Wake and Durham Counties; Northern Wake Expressway;
State Project Nos 8.U40171 1, 8.U401710, and 8.U401712;
TIP No. R-2000, Segments AA, AB, AC, CA., CB, D, EA, EB, F, 0;
Action ID 199601917.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation submitted an individual Section
404 (of the Clean Water Act) Permit Application to the Corps of Engineers for the
subject project on March 29, 1996. Additional irr£ormation was submitted to the
Corps of Engineers on April 24, 1996, at which time the application was declared to
be complete. On. April 25, 1996, a 30-day Public Notice was issued by the Corps of
Engineers. Comments were received from the public, federal, and state agencies
during the Public Notice period that ended May 24, 1996.
Written and oral comments were received from the NCDWQ, the NCWRC, the
USEPA, the USFWS, and the USCOB. Oral responses to the corn mernts wcre
provided directly to the agencies during the Partnering Team Process. The
information in this letter and attachments provide docurnentation of these :responses
as revised project drawings. Table 2 lists the sheets that have been revised to
incorporate responses to the agencies. In addition, this letter describes minimization
commitments not specifically depicted on the attached drawings.

MINIMIZED WETLAND IMPACTS
1, Section CA: Impacts on wetlands have been decreased by 20 percent
(11.39 acres to 9.19 acres) by implementing the minimization suggestions provided
by the Partnering agencies. Compensatory mitigation for the 9.19 acres of impact
will be accomplished by implementation of the Lake Wheeler Mitigation Site.
Additional mitigation includes the following:
Sheet 10: The NCWRC requested that the Department of Transportation commit to
design the box culverts to comply with the BMP by cn3uring the culverts are buried
and normal flow directed through one barrel only. The Department of Transportation
will comply with this request with the box culvert designed to be buried
approximately one foot and normal flow directed through the eastern-most barrel.
Sheets 11 a, l l and 17- An on-site survey was conducted of the unnamed tributary of
Sycamore Creek. The purpose of the survey was to identify morphological
characteristics of the existing stream channel and to describe the vegetative
community in the vicinity of the stream. The information was used in the design of
the relocated Chanel. The results of the survey are presented in the attached Stream
Relocation Survey Rq=. The relocation, designed according to the NCWRC
Guidelines, is presented on Sheets I Ia, 11, and 12 of 179. In accordance with the
Guidelines, the new channel will have the same average width, depth, length,
meander pattern and substrate as the existing channel, The existing tree and shrub
species will be used to provide shade and bank stabilization.
2. Section CB; This section will impact 4.69 acres of wetlands.
Approximately 0.25 acres of wetlands will be created on-site from one drained pond
(Sheet 29) and 0.7$ acres of wetland created from a second drained pond (Sheet 34).
3.22 acres of surface waters will be impacted of which 2,30 are from the draining of
the ponds. The remaining surface waters impacts result from fill in streams. The
channel (Sheets 38, 38a and 49 of 179) will be relocated into rip-rapped ditches,
Trees and shrubs will be planted to provide shade and bank stabilization. In
compliance with suggestions by the NCWCR, the ditch will only be rip-rapped on
the sides leaving the bottom to create a natural substrate. The Department of
Transportation evaluated the possibility of recreating the stream for its entirc length,
but due to steep topography only 200 feet of the stream could be restored to
preconstruction meander patterns (Sheet 38). The preconstruction length of the
stream is 1600 feet and postconstruction length will be 1400 feet.
3. Section D: During the Permanent Erosion Control Design phase the silt
basins depicted on Sheets 44 and 54 will be evaluated for conversion to stormwater
wetlands. A conventional stormwater wetland is a shallow pool that creates growing
conditions suitable for the growth of emergent wetland vegetation. The primary
purpose of stormwater wetlands is to provide pollutant removal from stomwater
runoff and wildlife habitat. The proposed design will include ;measures to ensure that
20d VE# :ON -131 NDd 1 nNd GNU ON I NNU-1d : 9 1 LE : 2 T NOW 36 , -Z ti-dill.... - - --
the site is capable of impouttdimg stortmwater moff'to support the growth of selected
emergent wetland species. The design of these wetlands will be finalized during the
final construction desip phase and before the construction of Section D.
The implementation of the design will occur when the silt basins are no longer in use
to trap construction generated sediments. The design may include an outlet structure,
possible a riser assembly or weir that is set at a height to control water outflow and
water levels within the stonuwater wetland. The impoundment of water, in turn, will
support wetland vegetation., wildlife, and chemical processes essential to pollutant
removal.
Sheets 48 to 51 of 179: The silt basin on Sheet 51 will remain a silt basin. It will
fut etion. as are energy dissipater to prevent erosion from the inflow of water in the
ditch depicted on Sheet 48. This rip-rapped ditch will include a 2 foot bean (Sheet
49b) that will protect the hydrology of the wetland located adjacent to the project
boundary. The prcconstruction length of streams impacted is 1312 and post
construction length will be 1614 feet (includes ditch depicted on Sheets 48 and 51 of
179).
4. Section EA: At the intersection of the proposed Northern Wako
Expressway and the existing Falls of the Neuse Road, the design of the interchange
as a half-cloverleaf resulted in the interchange avoiding Wetland Site 2 (Sheets 66 to
73 of 179), However, the mainline still impacts this high quality wetland (DEM
rating 81). The NCDWQ requested that the Department of Transportation evaluate
the effects of moving the interchange and mainline about 40 feet north of its
proposed :route. This evaluation is underway. Preliminary results indicate that a 40
foot shift will not significantly decrease the impact on the Wetland Site 2. A 200 foot
shift to the north would slightly decrease the impact on the Site 2 wetland, but result
in greater impacts on Wetland Site 4 (Sheets 74 to 82 of 179). Both of these wetlands
are high quality with DFNI ratings of 81. The preconstruction length of streams
impacted is 3864 feet. The postconstructiozn obaaunel change will be determined
during final design.
Sheets 96 to 141 of 179: The stream channel will be relocated as shown on the
referenced sheets. Final design for this section is scheduled for completion in 1998.
The NCDOT will investigate the possibility of reconstructing the relocated channel
to include meanders and other characteristics of self-sustaining riparian areas during
the final design. The NCWRC Strum Relocation Guidelines will be used as a guide
to the implementation of the relocation design.
5. Section EB: The preconstruction length of streams impacted is 5822 feet.
The postcoznstructiotn channel change will be determined during final design.
6. Section F: The NCDWQ and the NCWCR voiced concern about the design
of the Neuse River bridge depicted on. Sheet 142. The design on Sheet 142 is
Pod EPEO :ON X31 NDd I nN3 QNd 9N I NNdld : Q I 8Z : E T Now 95 , -z L-jnd
preliminary and depicts a minimal bridge. It does not reflect the size and extent of
the final bridge design. The bridge over the Neuse River will be designed with the
input and review of the agencies, and will avoid impacting the wetlands adjacent to
the river to the greatest extent possible. The preconstruction length of streams and
the postconstruction channel change will be determined during final design.
7. Section G: The preconstruction length of streams and the posteonstruetion
channel change will be determined during final design.
SUMMARY
By implementing the minimization measures mentioned above, the construction of
the Northern Wake Expressway would result in 43.8 acres of wetland filled, 2,58
acres of wetland excavated and filling of 12.16 acres of surface waters including
approximately 3 miles of stream channel. The jurisdictional impact on each section
is presented in Table 1. In the three sections now in final design (CA, CB, and D)
approximately 6832 feet of streams will be impacted and 6404 fact of now channel
created. In addition, approximately 6750 feet of stream channel will be preserved at
the Lake Wheeler Mitigation Site.

1/22/92 Permit application package was sent to review
agencies. Application was only for segment R-
2000BA (3000' SW of I-40 to 3500' NE of I-40).
This site impacted 4 individual permit sites,
totaling 12.6 acres open water habitat loss and
9.28 acres of wetland habitat loss. NCDOT proposed
to mitigate by creating a 22 acre bottomland
hardwood forest on a knoll adjacent to project that
will be graded down as a source of borrow material.
An additional 10.0 acres of open water habitat was
proposed to be create inside of one of the I-40
loops.
3/2/92 Corps of Engineers responded that the proposed
project was not considered to be a independently
functional project, and requested information on
linking routes that would make the project a single
and complete project.
3/3/92 Planning and Environmental Unit requested that
Hydraulics Unit combine segments R-2000BA, BB and
BC. The combination of these three segments would
provide for a single and complete project between
I-40 and US 70.
3/24/92 Provided Corps with information on additional
segments (BB, BC) that would create a single and
complete project from 3300' SW of I-40 to NE of US
70. All wetlands impacts associated with BB and BC
were deemed to be authorized under various
Nationwide Permits. NCDOT did not modify
mitigation proposal.
4/14/92 By letter to Corps, NCDOT modified permit
application by eliminating from consideration
approximately 1800' of proposed roadway at the SW
corner of segment BA. This eliminated a 1.95 acre
wetland site. Did not modify mitigation proposal.
5/5/92 Walked alignment with personnel from COE, DEM,
5/6/92 NCDOT Environmental and Hydraulics Units, and
5/15/92 various consultants who had produced permit
drawings. COE personnel verified wetland
delineations, reduced wetland boundaries in some
cases, did not claim jurisdiction over other sites,
e.
and pointed out several small wetland and waters of
the US sites that needed to be included in our
permit application. A visit was also made to the
proposed mitigation site.
5/18/92 Based on information gathered during the above
referenced site visits, the Hydraulics Unit was
asked to revise the permit drawings and application
to include the new information requested by the
Corps. This new information included new wetland
boundaries, the calculation of new wetland impact
acreages, the inclusion of impacts to small
wetlands and waters of the US, and the calculation
of temporary impacts to wetlands due to mechanized
clearing outside of the construction limits.
6/9/92 Provided revised permit application to
environmental review agencies. Proposed project
will now impact 6.82 acres of wetlands and 18.68
acres of waters of the US.
6/30/92 COE-Wilmington informed NCDOT that they were not in
possession of 6/9/92 application. A copy of the
application was immediately sent to COE-Wilmington.
Please note that on 6/9/92, a copy of the permit
package was sent to COE-Wake Forest, who did
receive the package within the next few days and
began preparations to place this project on public
notice.
7/2/92 Project went out on public notice.
7/21/92 401 Water Quality Certification issued.
8/4/92 Project came off of public notice. Mr. Barney
O'Quinn was contacted by Eric Alsmeyer, who
informed NCDOT that no negative comments were
received during the public notice process, and that
the permit would be issued out of the Wilmington
office within the next few days.
8/10/92 Mr. Alsmeyer contacted NCDOT personnel to discuss
several issues relating to the projects mitigation
plan. It was pointed out to Mr. Alsmeyer that
several of these items were addressed in NCDOT's
June 8, 1992 mitigation plan. Mr. Alsmeyer
acknowledged that the issues of concern had been
addressed. Mr. Alsmeyer also asked that NCDOT
provide information in response to an
archaeological issue that had arisen. Information
4
t,
showing that this issue has been addressed will be
provided to Corps personnel at this meeting. Mr.
Alsmeyer stated that it was now likely that the 404
permit for the project would be issued early next
week.
Resolution measures;
- In an effort to ensure that environmental permitting
agencies receive permit applications in a timely fashion,
NCDOT is now starting to send most permit packages out by
certified mail.
- NCDOT has been in close contact with Corps to work out
mitigation and monitoring guidelines.
- NCDOT has requested early notification of any problems
that arise during Public Notice stage so that these issues
may be addressed as soon as possible.

Reference is made to Public Notice 199100143 dated December 13,
1990. The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has previously
commented on the application by North Hills Properties, Inc. and
the North Carolina Department of Transportation to construct an
extension to Evans Road in Cary, Wake County, North Carolina. This
supplemental report is submitted in accordance with provisions of
the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended;
16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). It is in response to
Dr. G. Wayne Wright's June 15, 1992, request for our approval of
the proposed mitigation plan of April 3, 1992.
The Service has reviewed the April 3, 1992, plan and concurs that
it will adequately compensate the fish and wildlife habitat values
that would be lost due to project construction. The Service
recommends that the Department of the Army Permit issued for this
project be conditioned to require that mitigation be commenced
prior to, or at least concurrent with, project construction. We
appreciate the opportunity to comment on this project. Please
advise us of any action taken by the Wilmington District, Corps of
Engineers. You may contact David Dell, Permit Coordinator, of this
office if you have any question regarding this recommendation.

5/15/92 various consultants who had produced permit
drawings. COE personnel verified wetland
delineations, reduced wetland boundaries in some
cases, did not claim jurisdiction over other sites,
a

Northern Wake Expressway
and pointed out several small wetland and waters of
the US sites that needed to be included in our
permit application. A visit was also made to the
proposed mitigation site.
5/18/92 Based on information gathered during the above
referenced site visits, the Hydraulics Unit was
asked to revise the permit drawings and application
to include the new information requested by the
Corps. This new information included new wetland
boundaries, the calculation of new wetland impact
acreages, the inclusion of impacts to small
wetlands and waters of the US, and the calculation
of temporary impacts to wetlands due to mechanized
clearing outside of the construction limits.
6/9/92 Provided revised permit application to
environmental review agencies. Proposed project
will now impact 6.82 acres of wetlands and 18.68
acres of waters of the US.
6/30/92 COE-Wilmington informed NCDOT that they were not in
possession of 6/9/92 application. A copy of the
application was immediately sent to COE-Wilmington.
Please note that on 6/9/92, a copy of the permit
package was sent to COE-Wake Forest, who did
receive the package within the next few days and
began preparations to place this project on public
notice.
7/2/92 Project went out on public notice.
Resolution measures;
- In an effort to ensure that environmental permitting
agencies receive permit applications in a timely fashion,
NCDOT is now starting to send most permit packages out by
certified mail.
- NCDOT has been in close contact with COE to work out
mitigation and monitoring guidelines.
- NCDOT has requested early notification of any problems
that arise during Public Notice stage so that these issues
may be addressed as soon as possible.

Dear Mr. Ward:
JAN - 7
Reference the Department of the Army permit issued on September 2, 1992,
for discharges of fill material to facilitate construction of the Northern
Wake Expressway, State Project No. 8.2401701 (R-2000), Segments BA, BB, and
BC, in Wake and Durham Counties, North Carolina, and your letter of
December 8, 1992, requesting modification of the permit to allow you an extra
year to complete planting of the 22-acre mitigation site.
Based on the information you provided in the letter, it is not practicable
for you to complete the mitigation planting in the first year following
construction, due to sequencing and logistical limitations. Therefore, the
permit is hereby modified to allow an extension of the time for mitigation
planting to March 15, 1994. It is understood that all other conditions of the
original permit remain applicable and that the expiration date is unchanged.

Dear Mr. Ward:
Reference the Department of the Army permit issued on September 2, 1992,
for discharges of fill material to facilitate construction of the Northern
Wake Expressway, State Project No. 8.2401701 (R-2000), Segments BA, BB, and
BC, in Wake and Durham Counties, North Carolina, and your letter of
December 8, 1992, describing a modified design for construction of the 22-acre
mitigation site.
We have serious concerns regarding the viability of the mitigation plan
with the site limitations described in your letter. Your responses to the
following concerns must.be provided for evaluation by my staff before you may
proceed with your proposed modified mitigation plan:
1. You must provide information concerning the target bulk density for
the backfilled mitigation site. To maximize the potential for success of the
mitigation, the final bulk density should be as close as possible to the range
of natural bulk densities for undisturbed sites in the area.
2. You must provide specific information concerning the nature of the
borrow material which may be used for the mitigation substrate. The following
soils qualities are important to the success of the mitigation site:
a. pH.
b. Texture.
c. Nutrient content.
As previously stated, the above information is considered necessary for
our evaluation of your proposed modified plan. Should you have questions
concerning this requested information or any other matter, please contact
Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, at telephone (919)
876-8441, extension 23.

Reference the Department of the Army permit issued on September 2, 1992,
for discharges of fill material to facilitate construction of the Northern
Wake Expressway, State Project No. 8.2401701 (R-2000), Segments BA, BB, and
BC, in Wake and Durham Counties, North Carolina. Reference is also made to
your letter of January 4, 1993, requesting modification of the permit to allow
relocation of a portion of Lumley Road between the proposed Northern Wake
Expressway and Aviation Parkway.
Based on the minor impacts associated with the proposed modification and
the mitigation that is required under the subject permit, we have determined
that public review of the proposed modification is not required. Therefore,
the permit is hereby modified to authorize relocation of a portion of Lumley
Road between the proposed Northern Wake Expressway and Aviation Parkway,
impacting an additional 1.0 acre of waters of the United States, as described
in your letter of January 4, 1993.
Reference is also made to your letter dated January 19, 1993, in response
to our letter requesting additional information concerning a modified design
for construction of the subject project's 22-acre compensatory wetland
mitigation site. After review of the additional information, we have
determined that the proposed modified design is acceptable, subject to
appropriate conditions. Therefore, the permit is hereby modified to authorize
a modified design for construction of the compensatory mitigation site, as
described in your letters dated December 8, 1992 and January 19, 1993, subject
to the following conditions:
a. The minimum practicable amount of offsite borrow material shall be
used for the compensatory mitigation site substrate.
l y T
-2-
b. Any offsite borrow substrate that is necessary shall have a cap of at
least one foot of stockpiled onsite topsoil, with at least 3 feet total of
non-rock substrate.
C. The compensatory mitigation site substrate shall be compacted to
provide the optimum survivability of plantings.
It is understood that all unmodified conditions of the original permit remain
applicable and that the expiration date is unchanged.

SUBJECT; Wake and Durham Counties, Northern Wake
Expressway, State Project No. 8.2401701 (R-2000).
On September 2, 1992, a 404 permit for the proposed
project was issued to the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (Action ID 199200990). Since the issuance of
this permit, the limits of the above referenced project has
been extended. ropose ension involves the
relocation of a ?ortion of Lumley Ro tween the proposed
Northern Wake Exp viation Parkway (see enclosed
supplemental sheet 1 of 2). As a result of the extension,
several additional wetland and/or Waters of the U.S. sites
will be impacted. These sites were not included with our
original permit application. The water courses crossed by
the project extension are normally dry and are all above
headwaters. The attached sheets indicate the location and
extent of these wetland impact sites. A total of 0.57 acres
of wetland habitat will be filled at one site. 0.23 acres of
fill will be placed in waters of the U.S. A total of 0.20
acres of wetland habitat will be temporarily impacted due to
mechanized clearing outside of the construction footprint.
This 0.20 acres will be allowed to naturally revegetate
following project completion.
The original wetlands mitigation plan for the project
allowed for greater than a 2:1 mitigation ratio. NCDOT
therefore does not propose any additional mitigation for
these additional impacts.
r
A?
With this information in mind, kDOT requests that the
subject permit be modified to allow for the construction of
this extension. By copy of this letter, we are also
requesting a modification of the 401 Water Quality
Certification from N.C. Division of Environmental Management.
If you wish to discuss this matter further, please contact
Mr. Doug Huggett at [phone].

Dear Mr. Harris:
I Ss°??

Reference your April 6, 2006 letter, providing documentation on the Dutchmans Creek
Mitigation Site, southwest of Raleigh, in Wake County, North Carolina, which was mitigation for
TIP Project R-2000CB&D. The North Carolina Department of Transportation has completed
hydrology and vegetative monitoring for five years, as documented in the mitigation monitoring
reports that were submitted from 2001 through 2005.
50°
Based on the monitoring reports, some of the acreage at Dutchmans Creek has not met the
required hydrologic success criteria. You have delineated the areas throughout the site that did not
meet the criteria, and I confirmed this delineation in a site inspection on March 8, 2006, and
concurred with your recommendation to discontinue monitoring at this site. Based on the submitted
information, we have determined that you have partially satisfied the Dutchmans Creek Mitigation
Site wetland construction, planting and monitoring requirements of the permit authorization for TIP
Project R-2000CB&D (Action ID 199700885), as indicated in the table below:
After 5 Year
Mitigation Type Mitigation Monitoring Asset Deficit
Plan (ac.) (ac.) (ac.) ac.)
Scrub-Shrub
Restoration 7.70 6.28 n/a 1.42
Bottomland
Hardwood
Wetland Creation 1.60 2.32 0.72 n/a
r.
The table shows a deficit of 1.42 acres of Scrub-Shrub Restoration, and an "asset" beyond the
mitigation requirement of 0.72 acre of Bottomland Hardwood Wetland Creation. You have asked to
replace 0.72 acre of the Scrub-Shrub Restoration requirement with the 0.72 acre of Bottomland
Hardwood Wetland Creation, and meet the remaining 0.7 acre mitigation requirement through the
North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP).
We concur with closing out the Dutchmans Creek Mitigation Site, and you have met the
mitigation requirements for TIP Project R-2000CB&D, provided that compensatory mitigation for
the unavoidable impacts to 0.35 acre of riparian wetlands, associated with TIP Project R-
2000CB&D, shall be provided by NCEEP. Pursuant to the EEP Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA) between the State of North Carolina and the US Army Corps of Engineers signed on July
22, 2003, the EEP will provide 0.70 acres of restoration equivalent riparian wetlands, in the Neuse
River basin (Hydrologic Cataloging Unit 03020201). A minimum of l :1 (impact to mitigation)
must be in the form of wetland restoration.
With regards to the final disposition of the site, pursuant to the special conditions for R-
2000CB&D, NCDOT shall make every effort to convey the Dutchmans Creek Mitigation Site
property to a nonprofit conservation organization or a state or local government acceptable to the
Corps of Engineers. In addition, the special conditions state that NCDOT shall not sell or otherwise
convey the properties used to satisfy mitigation requirements for this permit, or any interest therein,
to any third party, without the express written consent of the Corps of Engineers. Therefore, the
terms and conditions of any transfer of this tract shall be coordinated with this office to ensure
appropriate long-term management of the Dutchmans Creek Mitigation Site. Before the property is
transferred, please provide this office with a draft of a proposed long-term management agreement
with the agency expected to accept the transfer, which clearly addresses the need to protect the
resources at this compensatory mitigation site.
Should you have any questions, please call me at [phone], extension 23.
