N.C. 27611-5201 E. NoRRIs TOLSON GOVERNOR SECRETARY ' - December 4, 1998 ' Dr. G. Wayne Wright, Chief Regulatory Branch U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ' Post Office Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402 ' Dear Wayne: Re: NCDOT/Resource Agency Partnering Meeting - Monitoring Guidelines ' A meeting was held on Jul 22 1998 in the NCDOT Photogrammetry Conference Room in Raleigh to discuss monitoring guidelines for the 1998 Annual Monitoring ' Reports. Rlease find-attached a list of those in attendance and the meeting agenda. Following introductions, Charles Bruton described the purpose of the meeting and opened the floor to David Franklin for any opening comments. David said he looked ' forward to resolving any previous discrepancies in the 1997 Annual Monitoring Reports and discussing ways to better present monitoring results in this year's monitoring reports. ' Phil Harris moderated the meeting. HYDROLOGIC MONITORING ' NCDOT and the Corps agreed wetland mitigation sites must meet the guideline for hydrology (1987 Manual) using consecutive days and not cumulative days of the locally designated growing season. Wetland hydrology criteria in the 1987 Manual notes that a site must be seasonally inundated or saturated (within 12 inches of the surface) greater than 12.5 percent of the local growing season. NCDOT will re-evaluate the 1997 1 monitoring data to reflect consecutive days rather than cumulative days of the growing season. ' Regarding monitoring well data, David wants to see compliance is met and that the sites are working. Phil noted that NCDOT is taking a close look at recurring problems associated with monitoring well installation and maintenance. In cases where ' hydrology was failing for a particular site, NCDOT would be unable to remediate the site until the following year due to seasonal constraints and the necessity to collect specific ' hydrographic information. In discussing what was considered to be hydrologic success, I G) I I n n H 7 David Franklin said the 1987 Manual was the official guideline. However, he went on to suggest that the Corps would be interested to see a more detailed breakdown of the well data and would not be opposed to hydrologic success based on a longer monitoring period with less than a 12.5 % success criteria. He also mentioned well data that falls below the 12 inch threshold may also be examined as a special case. Mike Bell suggested site remediation should occur now rather than waiting until December. NCDOT, in coordination with the Corps, will identify unsuccessful sites and work together to determine how the site is failing and the best remediation techniques to implement. VEGETATION MONITORING ISSUES Due to NCDOT's demand for hardwood seedlings there is a shortage of seedlings this year and there was none available for remediation efforts. There is a minimum one year lead time for ordering seedlings. In a situation on a site where the well data is good but the vegetation is not successful the Corps stated they would review it on a site by site basis. In cases of remediation, Charles said it was almost impossible to grade and plant a site before the winter deadline. Randy Wise requested an extension of the August/September time period to ' obtain the vegetation monitoring data for the sites. After discussing this issue, it was agreed that the marsh sites would be evaluated in August and the hardwood sites could be evaluated as late as October and November before leaf drop. The NCDOT will send a "blanket" letter to the Corps to modify all permits to reflect the revised vegetation monitoring period. Phil mentioned that although there would be an extension of the monitoring period for vegetation, monitoring reports would continue to be completed and distributed by the end of December. Randy said they often perform random site visits throughout the year to see how vegetation is performing and would perform supplemental planting if noted early enough in the growing season. Ken Jolly asked who was responsible for downloading wells and did they look at vegetation. Beth Smyre said the Geotechnical Unit downloaded well data and notified her of any vegetation issues. The Corps requested that proposed remediation for hydrology and vegetation be included in monitoring reports. NCDOT and the Corps will coordinate any remediation measures. Randy expressed their commitment to remediate vegetation as soon as possible. The discussion turned toward planted versus volunteer species. The Corps does not want to see volunteer species included in survival rate calculations for planted species. Randy noted the survival rate is set at 50% or higher. David wanted to make sure that the sites meet the target species requirement in stems per acre, not a percentage (except for older sites set up for percentage). David also wanted to see the distribution of species planted and volunteer. Randy said it is often difficult to identify certain species during the first two years (several oak species often look alike as saplings). Generally it is easier to differentiate the species by the third year. The Corps wanted to know if there was a way to identify the planted species at planting. However, the planting procedure is 1 ' 50 f f b oot oot y so labor intensive now it would make it impossible to do so. The 50 monitoring plots are chosen and staked in the field after planting has occurred. The ' Corps wants NCDOT to note the unwanted volunteer species and to identify possible remediation to make sure these species do not dominate the site. The NCDOT and the Corps agreed that the distribution of species is such that no species dominates more than 20 % of the distribution. Red maple and sweet gum are generally not to be planted to insure good numbers of target species. HYDROLOGIC SUCCESS CRITERIA ' The incorporation of reference systems in determining success was discussed. David concluded that if a particular site failed under the 1987 Manual guidelines, then NCDOT had the option of comparing site parameters to reference site parameters in determining success. The purpose of reference systems was to allow NCDOT a second option in achieving success. The determination of a reference system with its success criteria would need to be addressed in the mitigation plan. The use of the hydrogeomorphic system (HGM) was also discussed. The Corps is not going to use HGM as a reference system. but will probably look at it as a tool. There are no guidelines out yet on HGM. ' WETS b . was y The use of 20-80 versus 30-70 probability graphs, as defined discussed. These graphs compare the specific year rain data to the historical data for the ' mitigation site area. The NRCS and WETS use the 30-70 probability graphs and NCDOT would like to use these as well. It was decided to use the 30-70 information and to go to the nearest gage station as long as the source was cited. David determined that if 1 a site's hydrology performs at 12.5%, then hydrologic success has been achieved. It a " " hydrologic success. If marginal site performs in the 5% to 12.5% range, then there is this trend continues, then the entire success criteria for the site will be reviewed. ' The target percentage for hydrological success should be included in the permit g and shown in the mitigation plan. The Corps will be willing to negotiate on the success ' of the site, but include adequate information in the permit and the mitigation plan. ' Charles Bruton suggested placing monitoring wells in the impacted wetland areas to assess and compare to mitigation areas. David wanted to insure that the best mitigation site attainable is created. David also asked that well performance be broken ' out in the report. An interim report was given on Mud Creek. It was noted that wells placed in the ' reference wetland and wells placed in the created wetland were an inappropriate method to determine hydrologic success because the difference in soil type, hydrology, and cover ' type. Mike Bell discussed results of a workshop he attended on monitoring wells. He ' also discussed the use of piezometers. Ir-, LEI 0 4 There was no further discussion and the meeting adjourned.

Project Description The site located at Goshen Swamp, near the US 117 connector from Mount Olive to I-40 in Duplin County. This site consists of approximately 30 acres of cutover and disturbed bottomland hardwood forest. The site is traversed by 20 cleared transects varying in length from 200 to 1400 feet. This site was enhanced by planting the following species: Swamp Chestnut Oak -- Quercus michauxii Willow Oak -- Quercus phellos Water Oak -- Quercus nigra Black Gum -- Nyssa sylvatica II. Project Association This mitigation project is to offset wetland impacts associated with project R-2211B III. Project History November 1996 November 1996 February 1996 March 1996 October 1996 Site cut (transects) Herbicide application Site planted Vegetation Monitoring (1 mo.) Vegetation Monitoring (1 yr.) IV. Success Criteria • Minimum mean density of 320 trees/acre of approved target species surviving for at least 3 years. 4e V. Results No monitoring plots were established. However, random transects 200 feet long and approximately 10 feet wide throughout the site revealed an average of 25 trees (of the planted species) per evaluation area. This equates to approximately 545 trees per acre. VI. Summary Twenty cleared transects, varying in length from 200 to 1400 feet, were planted with bottomland hardwood species. Vegetative monitoring of the planted area reveals approximately 545 trees per acre, well above the 320 trees per acre sucess criteria. VII. Proposed Remedial Action None. STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION P.O. BOX 25201 RALEIGH 27611-5201 JAMES G. MARTIN DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS GOVERNOR August 12, 1991 THOMAS J. HARRELSON SECRETARY Ron Ferrell Water Quality Planning Division of Environmental Management N.C. Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Dear Mr. Ferrell: WILLIAM G. MARLEY, JR., P.E. STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR Subject: 401 Water Quality Certification, US 117 Connector, Mount olive to I-40, Duplin County, (R-606, 8.1240601) This letter is provided to address the concerns raised in your letter"of April 11, 1991 regarding the wetland impacts of the proposed project. As you are aware, we are proposing to mitigate for permanent wetland impacts using both on- and off-site strategies. The project will impact 2.5 acres of pocosin type habitat. This will be mitigated using the proposed Pridgen Flats Pocosin Mitigation Bank in Sampson County. The details of this bank are currently being developed through cooperation between the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and other concerned agencies (including your own). NCDOT plans to.have a formal agreement on this bank finalized this fall. The proposed project will also impact 19.5 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands adjacent to Goshen Swamp. NCDOT is in the process of acquiring an option to buy 91.0 acres of land adjacent to Goshen Swamp. This property is north of and adjacent to Wetland Site 4 in our permit application (map enclosed). Much of this property was clearcut last year, although some of the wetter areas. remain intact. NCDOT currently proposes to restore the clearcut wetlands on this property as mitigation for wetland impacts on this project and future projects nearby. Details of the mitigation credit accounting and the restoration plan will be worked out through coordination with the appropriate agencies. An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer wk- , In your letter of April 11, concern was raised over the proposed length of the dual bridges at Goshen Swamp and its detrimental effect on wildlife movement. Pursuant to your request, this issue has been re-examined by our hydraulics engineers. The currently proposed bridges consist of four spans each, with each span measuring 44 feet in length. Any increase in total bridge length should be accomplished by employing additional spans. The cost to lengthen both bridges is approximately $4200.00 per linear foot. Adding another 44 foot span to each bridge would increase the total cost of the crossing by approximately $185,000. The bridges as currently designed would allow wildlife passage except when the water level is at flood stage. In the opinion of our hydraulics engineers, to allow for wildlife passage at flood stage would require bridging the entire width of Goshen Swamp, at an estimated cost of $11,050,000, versus $2,050,000 for the proposed structures. Bridging the entire swamp is clearly infeasible from an economical standpoint. It also appears superfluous to spend an additional $185,000 to accommodate wildlife passage which will already be possible when the water level is not at flood stage. NCDOT therefore recommends that the bridges at Goshen Swamp be constructed as proposed. NCDOT intends to work closely with your agency in finalizing our wetland mitigation proposals for this project. If you have any questions please contact Gordon Cashin at (919) 733-9770. Sincerely, JtZW24--- L.R. Goode, PE, PhD Director, Programs, Policy and Budget LRG/gec Attachment cc: B.J. O'Quinn, PE V.C.

Box 1890 Wilmington, NC 28402 Dear Dr. Wright: Jr., Secretary In keeping with your request, this office has circulated to interested state review agencies U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Public Notice Action ID. 199101124 dated February 21, 1991 which describes a project proposal by the N. C. Dept. of Transportation, Division of Highways of Raleigh. The project, involving some 22 acres of wetland fill to facilitate construction of a major highway connector, is, located in the wetlands of Panther Branch, Honey Branch, Goshen Creek and Bear Pocosin between Highway 117 and I-40, near Faison, in Duplin County. The record maintained by this office contains memorandums of objections from three key agencies, including early internal comments of the Division of Environmental Management. The Division of Water Resources and the Wildlife Resources Commission's early input to the record remains unchanged at this writing. The writer is, however, aware of a more recent mitigation offer by the Division of Highways which may be reviewed by Wildlife Resources. The comments of the agencies referred to above are as follows: N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission - in an April 3 return to this office, recommended that your office deny the request. The Commission further states that: "An alternative which would avoid or minimize impacts on wetlands and other wildlife habitats or preparation of an acceptable mitigation plan could justify our reconsidering this position". (see attached); Division of Water Resources - objected to the issuance of D.O.A. permit due to significant wetland impacts. A copy of that agency's comments are also attached; P.O.

Wayne Wright Page 2 August 29, 1991 Division of Environmental Management - for the record, issued Section 401 Water Quality Certification No. 2626 for the project on August 28, 1991. The comments from the Wildlife Resources Commission and the Division of Water Resources would ordinarily lead to a viewpoint objection being submitted. However, because of ongoing mitigation discussion and the direct request from D.O.T. for assistance in resolving this matter due to pending bid dates, the writer will let the above-mentioned comments stand on their own merit or likewise be resolved, should that course of events follow. A review of the only materials available to the writer, i.e., the Notice and incoming comments would suggest that direct wetland impact and wetland/watershed/habitat impact by fragmentation did not take top priority in routing this new connection. Prime agricultural land, however, was avoided, according to the Notice.

MARLEY, JR., P.E. STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR Subject: 401 Water Quality Certification, US 117 Connector, Mount olive to I-40, Duplin County, (R-606, 8.1240601) This letter is provided to address the concerns raised in your letter of April 11, 1991 regarding the wetland impacts of the proposed project. As you are aware, we are proposing to mitigate for permanent wetland impacts using both on- and off-site strategies. The project will impact 2.5 acres of pocosin type habitat. This will be mitigated using the proposed Pridgen Flats Pocosin Mitigation Bank in Sampson County. The details of this bank are currently being developed through cooperation between the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and other concerned agencies (including your own). NCDOT plans to have a formal agreement on this bank finalized this fall. The proposed project will also impact 19.5 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands adjacent to Goshen Swamp. NCDOT is in the process of acquiring an option to buy 91.0 acres of land adjacent to Goshen Swamp. This property is north of and adjacent to Wetland Site 4 in our permit application (map enclosed). Much of this property was clearcut last year, although some of the wetter areas remain intact. NCDOT currently proposes to restore the clearcut wetlands on this property as mitigation for wetland impacts on this project and future projects nearby. Details of the mitigation credit accounting and the restoration plan will be worked out through coordination with the appropriate agencies. An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer R In your letter of April 11, concern was raised over the proposed length of the dual bridges at Goshen Swamp and its detrimental effect on wildlife movement. Pursuant to your request, this issue has been re-examined by our hydraulics engineers. The currently proposed bridges consist of four spans each, with each span measuring 44 feet in length. Any increase in total bridge length should be accomplished by employing additional spans. The cost to lengthen both bridges is approximately $4200.00 per linear foot. Adding another 44 foot span to each bridge would increase the total cost of the crossing by approximately $185,000. The bridges as currently designed would allow wildlife passage except when the water level is at flood stage. In the opinion of our hydraulics engineers, to allow for wildlife passage at flood stage would require bridging the entire width of Goshen Swamp, at an estimated cost of $11,050,000, versus $2,050,000 for the proposed structures. Bridging the entire swamp is clearly infeasible from an economical standpoint. It also appears superfluous to spend an additional $185,000 to accommodate wildlife passage which will already be possible when the water level is not at flood stage. NCDOT therefore recommends that the bridges at Goshen swamp be constructed as proposed. NCDOT intends to work closely with your agency in finalizing our wetland mitigation proposals for this project.

OLIVE BYPASS TO I-40 NEAR FAISON, Duplin County, North Carolina. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show the proposed widening of 3.6 miles of the existing two lane U.S. Highway 117 to a four-lane divided facility from North Carolina Highway 55 to the existing four-lane section at Calypso. From this point, a 5.8 mile segment is to.be constructed as a four-lane-divided facility on new location. Along this new segment, there are to be impacts on four wetland sites. Approximately 22 acres of wetlands are to be impacted, including 2.5 acres of pocosin wetlands and 19.5 acres of seasonally-flooded bottomland hardwood wetlands. Four alternative alignments were considered by the applicant. Although the selected alignment does not involve the least impact on wetlands, it avoids a historic property and a minority community and the dividing of large tracts of prime agricultural properties. The applicant plans to minimize impacts to wetlands by reducing fill slopes, employing stringent erosion control measures, eliminating staging areas in wetlands, and utilizing best management practices. The applicant intends to provide compensatory mitigation for the unavoidable impact on wetlands. A plan is being prepared for circulation for all-regulatory agencies' review, comment and approval. The purpose of the work is to provide for an improved, safer public highway system. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No DA permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM)-has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500. ?1- STAT( State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources Division of Environmental Management 512 North Salisbury Street • Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 James G.

S. HWY 117 connector from the Mt. Olive Bypass to I-40 near Faison. 3.6 miles of existing two lane highway will be widened to a four lane divided highway, and a 5.8 mile four lane segment will be constructed at a new location. 2.5 acres of pocosin wetlands and 19.5 acres of bottomland hardwood swamp will be impacted by the proposed construction. NCDOT proposes to mitigate for the pocosin wetland impacts by restoration of degraded wetlands on the J.T. Barefoot Property in Sampson County. NCDOT is currently negotiating to buy bottomland hardwood wetlands adjoining the proposed right-of-way to mitigate for the loss of 19.5 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands. If these negotiations fail, NCDOT proposes to debit the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank for these losses. The project has been reviewed to determine impacts to water quality. The following comments have been provided. A site visit was conducted on March 27, 1991. (See attached rating sheets) This Office has no great concerns about the loss of the 2.5 acres of pocosin wetlands. These wetlands appear to be mostly planted pine plantation and in their current condition are low value wetlands. The 19.5 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands, however, is considered a very significant loss. .4 It is recommended the other alternatives considered in the EIS be reconsidered, including bridging the bottomland hardwood areas. Five years have passed since the EIS was reviewed. Considering the important changes that have taken place in DEM's wetland review process since that time, our lack of concern five years ago should not be an issue in making a decision on the 401 Certification. It is also recommended any loss of Bottomland hardwood wetlands should be mitigated for with adjoining wetlands.

Olive Bypass to I-40 near Faison. It is proposed to widen 3.6 miles of the existing 2 lane US 117 to a four lane divided facility from NC 55 to the existing 4 lane section at calypso. From this point, a 5.8 mile segment will be constructed as a 4 lane divided facility on new location. Along this new segment, there will be permanent impacts to wetlands at four sites. Approximately 22 acres of wetlands will be impacted by the new construction. This includes about 2.5 acres of pocosin wetlands and 19.5 acres of seasonally flooded bottomland hardwood wetlands. Potential wetland impacts were one of many issues considered in the planning of this project. The Environmental Impact Statement considered four basic alternatives. Although the selected alternative does not involve the least wetland impacts, it reduces wetland impacts while also avoiding a historic property, a minority community, and dividing large tracts of prime farmland. Therefore, NCDOT believes that the selected alternative avoids wetland impacts to the maximum extent practical. Reduction of fill slopes, stringent erosion control, the elimination of staging areas in wetlands, and other best management practices will be utilized to minimize impacts where possible.

THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS, POST OFFICE BOX 25201, RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27611-5201, has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit modification TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN WETLANDS OF PANTHER BRANCH, HONEY BRANCH, GOSHEN CREEK AND BEAR POCOSIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE PREVIOUSLY PERMITTED CONSTRUCTION OF A U.S. HIGHWAY 117 CONNECTOR FROM THE MOUNT OLIVE BYPASS TO I-40 NEAR Faison, Duplin County, North Carolina. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a representative of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Plans submitted with the application show that the original scope of the work will remain unchanged. Basically, this involves the construction of a 5.8 mile segment of four-lane divided road through four wetland areas, resulting in impacts to approximately 22 acres of wetlands, including 2.5 acres of pocosin wetlands and 19.5 acres of seasonally-flooded bottomland hardwood wetlands. The applicant states that approximately 4,900 linear feet (as measured along the centerline) of the project is located in wetlands. As a result, fill slopes on a 2:1 slope are required, which in turn requires the use of over three miles of guardrails. The fill height in these areas varies from four to eight feet. Approximately 60 percent of this guardrail could be eliminated by flattening the fill slopes to a 3:1 slope in areas of marginal wetlands, which would result in extending the toe of the slopes between four and eight feet, depending on the fill height. The actual amount of wetlands to be impacted by the modification is unknown at this time but will be confined to areas which just meet the wetland criteria or are low quality. The applicant has stated that high quality wetlands and those areas with a significant fill height will not be impacted by this proposed work. The purpose of the work is to flatten fill slopes in order to save the initial cost of guardrail (approximately $190,000) and to save the maintenance cost on the guardrail for the life of the road. The applicant has stated that flattened slopes decrease potential slope stabilization problems. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization.

In my memo of March 26,1993, I mentioned that one or more projects would be passed on to you as pilot projects. The proposed mitigation data for R-609 has already been forwarded, and R-606 will be the second project. Some work has been done on the R-606 site in the way of surveying, but additional work is needed. The attached packet of information contains the conceptual mitigation plan along with supporting data and proposed plan of action for the site. Also enclosed is a map showing the areas that have already been surveyed and the areas where additional work is required. On the following page, there is a list of the items that need to be completed in order to proceed with the mitigation plan. Some of the items need to be completed by your staff and some of the items will be completed by our staff. Each item is marked to indicate who should be responsible for completing the task. We will be glad to coordinate with your staff on any questions concerning this project. Please contact Gordon Cashin or Dennis Pipkin at 733-9770 if you have any questions.

General Plan to Proceed with Mitigation The following is a list of items that need to be completed to proceed with the mitigation plan. Roadway Design: 1) - coordinate with Location and Surveys to get property lines more clearly marked so they are easily visible to the Environmental Unit specialists. 3) - coordinate with the NC Division of Forest Resources to get transects cut through the area to allow access into the site. 2) - coordinate with Right of Way to obtain permission to access the site from the adjacent property owner. The side next to the highway has R-O-W fence which would prohibit moving equipment into the site. 5) - transfer hydric soil data obtained by the Environmental Unit to property maps. Environmental Unit: 3) - decide what areas need to be cleared and what transects need to be cleared. 4) - Environmental Unit Biological and Soil Specialists to complete hydric soil analysis and plant surveys. 6) - Develop specific planting plan with plant species and planting centers in coordination with Roadside Environmental Unit. MEMO TO: Dennis Pipkin, PE DATE: 5/27/93 Wetland Mitigation Specialist FROM: Gordon E. Cashin .1 A4, Environmental Specialist SUBJECT: Implementation of the mitigation requirements for the US 117 connector near Faison, TIP # R-0606, State Project 8.1240601. BACKGROUND: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued the Individual Permit September 9,_ 1991. This permit required preservation and restoration of bottomland hardwood wetlands adjacent to the project. The Water Quality Certification (issued August 28, 1991) reiterated this requirement. A 91.25 acre parcel was purchased adjacent to the right- of-way as a mitigation site. This tract is composed of approximately 46.9 acres of undisturbed swamp forest, and 44.4 acres of logged bottomlands. The permit for R-0606 requires preservation of 10 acres of undisturbed forest and restoration of 30 acres of logged wetlands. Subtracting the acreage already used, 36.9 acres of swamp forest and about 14.4 acres of logged bottomland remain for use as mitigation. It is currently NCDOT's intention to use the remainder of this tract as mitigation for R-2211 B. The permit for this project is still.pending. For this reason, it is very important that we proceed with implementing the R-0606 mitigation.plan. The Roadside Environmental Unit developed planting guidelines for the restoration area, and submitted them August 16, 1991. A copy of the mitigation and monitoring guidelines is attached. These guidelines list the species proposed for planting in the logged areas. As the area has already begun to regenerate with early colonizing species, NCDOT has had some difficulty developing a feasible means of planting this area. The most feasible method would probably require developing a contract with the N.C. Division of Forest Resources to clear transects for planting with the proposed mast-bearing species. This should achieve a desirable mixture of tree species across the site. Once planting is completed, the monitoring program will begin. IMPLEMENTATION: Due to the proposed use of this project for R-2211 B, it is vital that we implement this mitigation plan as soon as possible. (1) The eastern property limit needs to be cleared and permanently marked. (2) From the cleared limit, a wetland delineation can be conducted and the mitigation value of the property determined. (3) A clearing contract can be developed with the Division of Forest Resources. (4) A planting contract can be developed according to the guidelines. PROJECT: 8..1240604 R-606AA Sampson-Duplin Co.

Environmental Specialist SUBJECT: Implementation of the mitigation requirements for the US 37 connector near Faison, TIP # R-0606, State Project 8.1240601. Dennis asked me to provide you with some background on our needs for this project. This is a draft compilation of where we stand on this mitigation project. I can revise it to any format you may need. BACKGROUND: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued the Individual Permit September 9, 1991. This permit required preservation and restoration of bottomland hardwood wetlands adjacent to the project. The Water Quality Certification (issued August 28, 1991) reiterated this requirement. A 91.25 acre parcel was purchased adjacent to the right- of-way as a mitigation site. Approximately half of the site had been logged several years previously, with the remainder being high quality swamp forest. It suspected that most of the property is wetland, but the exact amount of wetland is unknown. It was proposed that the logged wetland areas would be forested as a restoration activity at a 2:1 acreage ratio. The preserved area would count for mitigation at a 0.5:1 acre ratio. Since this project impacts approximately 20 acres of bottomland hardwoods, the permit specifies that 10 acres be preserved and 30 acres be restored. The Roadside Environmental Unit developed planting guidelines for the restoration area, and submitted them August 16, 1991. However, no contract was ever developed to implement this planting plan. This is due to several reasons: (1) Environmental Unit staff efforts have been prioritized to other projects with pending permits. (2) The Environmental Unit was unable to get the property line cleared so that a delineation could be performed. (3) The difficulty of implementing the planting plan in a cutover area that is already regenerating. Since.the permit was obtained, efforts were made to get this project moving. On December 18, 1991, you requested that Location and Surveys survey and mark the northern and eastern boundaries of the property so that a delineation could take place. Dennis also requested that the.treeline be indicated on the plat. A plat map was provided to us showing the treeline as a result of these requests. A delineation team was formed to determine the wetland limits on the property, and this activity was scheduled. However, it was discovered that the property line had not been clearly marked, and could not be found. The delineation was postponed until this limit was cleared and permanently marked. Requests were made to have this done, but these were ignored. At that time, other priorities were assigned, and the project was put on the back burner. We can no longer allow this mitigation project to sit still. This site has been proposed as mitigation for R- 2211B, by application submitted October 19, 1992. After the application was submitted, efforts,were made to choose a suitable method of preparing the site for planting. The N.C. Division of Forest Resources has a tractor with a shearing attachment that will clear transects across the property without causing too much damage to the soil profile. This is probably the best method to use for site preparation. Currently, R-2211B is being reexamined for alignment alternatives. The focus will shift to mitigation eventually. Basically, we dropped the ball on this project. It is vital that we implement this mitigation plan as soon as possible. Here's what we need to do: (1) The eastern property limit needs to be cleared and permanently marked. (2) From the cleared limit, a wetland delineation can be conducted and the mitigation value of the property determined. (3) A clearing contract can be developed with the Division of Forest Resources. .t (4) A planting contract can be developed according to the guidelines. We have two choices: (1) Allocate staff time to handle this ourselves. (2) Draft Roadway Design to coordinate everything. I'm glad that I am not Assistant Branch Manager. . 914-x, ?..; MEMO TO: Dennis Pipkin DATE: 5/12/94 Q)w FROM: Gordon 93?t? SUBJECT: Duplin County, R-0606AA mitigation, ltr of JH Hoskins. The mitigation concept for this project is as follows: (1) Develop contract with NC Divis"ion of Forest Resources (Joe Dorsey or Greg Pate, (919) 642-5093) to clear transects on the site. This should be done during the driest part of the summer, and before traffic begins on US 117 connector (August 1994). (2) Delineate wetlands using transects. Develop planting and monitoring plan based on wetland limits. (3) Develop planting contract, to be implemented November/December 1994. We will therefore meet deadline of permit. I am requesting your assistance with the Forest Resources contract to begin this process. Once the transects are cut, the delineation can be accomplished fairly quickly by in- house staff. I will already have a written planting plan by then, so only a final map will be needed for the planting contract. Roadside Environmental will develop this contract. We should probably contact them when the Forest Resources contract is completed. GG % bT ??Qliihh PROJECT: 8.1240604 R-606AA Sampson-Duplin Co.

Olive Bypass to I-40 near Faison. 3.6 miles of existing two lane highway will be widened to a four lane divided highway, and a 5.8 mile four lane segment will be constructed at a new location. 2.5 acres of pocosin wetlands and 19.5 acres of bottomland hardwood swamp will be impacted by the proposed construction. NCDOT proposes to mitigate for the pocosin wetland impacts by restoration of degraded wetlands on the J.T. Barefoot Property in Sampson County. NCDOT is currently negotiating to buy bottomland hardwood wetlands adjoining the proposed right-of-way to mitigate for the loss of 19.5 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands. If these negotiations fail, NCDOT proposes to debit the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank for these losses. The project has been reviewed to determine impacts to water quality. The following comments have been provided. A site visit was conducted on March 27, 1991. (See attached rating sheets) This office has no great concerns about the loss of the 2.5 acres of pocosin wetlands. These wetlands appear to be mostly planted pine plantation and in their current condition are low value wetlands. The 19.5 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands, however, is considered a very significant loss. ?? ;,. STAT[ ,?

Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Dear Mr. Ferrell: DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS WILLIAM G. MARLEY, JR., P.E. STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR Subject: 401 Water Quality Certification, US 117 Connector, Mount Olive to I-40, Duplin County, (R-606, 8.1240601) This letter is provided to address the concerns raised in your letter of April 11, 1991 regarding the wetland impacts of the proposed project. As you are aware, we are proposing to mitigate for permanent wetland impacts using both on- and off-site strategies. The project will impact 2.5 acres of pocosin type habitat. This will be mitigated using the proposed Pridgen Flats Pocosin Mitigation Bank in Sampson County. The details of this bank are currently being developed through cooperation between the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and other concerned agencies (including your own). NCDOT plans to have a formal agreement on this bank finalized this fall. The proposed project will also impact 19.5 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands adjacent to Goshen Swamp. NCDOT is in the process of acquiring an option to buy 91.0 acres of land adjacent to Goshen Swamp. This property is north of and adjacent to Wetland Site 4 in our permit application (map enclosed). Much of this property was clearcut last year, although some of the wetter areas. remain intact. NCDOT currently proposes to restore the clearcut wetlands on this property as mitigation for wetland impacts on this project and future projects nearby. Details of the mitigation credit accounting and the restoration plan will be worked out through coordination with the appropriate agencies. An Fnual 0nnnrtunity/Affirmative Antinn Fmnlnver ~y' - In your letter of April 11, concern was raised over the proposed length of the dual bridges at Goshen Swamp and its detrimental effect on wildlife movement. Pursuant to your request, this issue has been re-examined by our hydraulics engineers. The currently proposed bridges consist of four spans each, with each span measuring 44 feet in length. Any increase in total bridge length should be accomplished by employing additional spans. The cost to lengthen both bridges is approximately $4200.00 per linear foot. Adding another 44 foot span to each.bridge would increase the total cost of the crossing by approximately $185,000. The bridges as currently designed would allow wildlife passage except when the water level is at flood stage. In the opinion of our hydraulics engineers, to allow for wildlife passage at flood stage would require bridging the entire width of Goshen Swamp, at an estimated cost of $11,050,000, versus $2,050,000 for the proposed structures. Bridging the entire swamp is clearly infeasible from an economical standpoint. It also appears superfluous to spend an additional $185,000 to accommodate wildlife passage which will already be possible when the water level is not at flood stage. NCDOT therefore recommends that the bridges at Goshen Swamp be constructed as proposed. NCDOT intends to work closely with your agency in finalizing our wetland mitigation proposals for this project.

Project Description The site is located at Goshen Swamp, near the US 117 connector from Mount Olive to I- 40 in Duplin County. This site consists of approximately 30 acres of cutover and disturbed bottomland hardwood forest. The site is traversed by 20 cleared transects varying in length from 200 to 1400 feet. This site consists of enhancement planting of the transects of the following species: Swamp Chestnut Oak -- Quercus michauxii Willow Oak -- Quercus phellos Water Oak -- Quercus nigra Black Gum -- Nyssa sylvatica II. Project Association This mitigation project is to offset wetland impacts associated with project R-2211B III. Project History November 1996 November 1996 February 1996 March 1996 October 1996 September 1997 IV. Success Criteria Site cut (transects) Herbicide application Site planted Vegetation Monitoring (1 mo.) Vegetation Monitoring (1 yr.) Vegetation Monitoring (2 yr.) • Minimum mean density of 320 trees/acre of approved target species surviving for at least 3 years. V. Results No monitoring plots were established. However random transects of 200 feet long and approximately 10 feet wide throughout the site revealed an average of 25 trees (of the planted species) per evaluation area. The results on average obtained from these transects yields approximately 542 trees per acre. VI. Summary The 20 cleared transects, of this site, varying in length from 200 to 1400 feet were planted with bottomland hardwood species. The vegetation monitoring of the planted area reveals approximately 542 trees per acre, well above the 320 trees per acre success criteria. VII.

Department of Transportation (NCDOT) request for 401 Water Quality Certification, Widening of NC 24 from Kenansville to Beulaville, Duplin County, North Carolina, TIP No. R-2211B, DEM Project No. 92625. The N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has reviewed the subject application for 401 Water Quality Certification, and a site inspection was conducted on December 7, 1992. The proposed project involves widening of existing highway corridor, with 19.89 acres of bottomland hardwood wetland loss. The NCWRC has recommended modifications to the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers 11404" permit for this project, and a copy of these comments will be forwarded to your office. The project, as modified according to previous comments, should minimize impacts on surface water quality in the project area. While significant wetland loss will occur, off-site mitigation at 2:1 ratio will be developed by the NCDOT in cooperation with reviewing agencies. Given the efforts of the NCDOT to mitigate wetland loss and minimize impacts to aquatic systems, and the recommendations of the NCWRC for modifications to the 404 permit, the NCWRC offers no further modifying comment on issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification for this project.

Fullwood, Executive Director MEMORANDUM TO: John Parker, Jr., Inland 11404" Coordinator Dept. f Environment, Health, & Natural Resources FROM: ir Dennis S e art, Manager Habitat Conservation Program Date: December 11, 1992 SUBJECT: Response to U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Public Notice for Action No. 199300273 (November 12, 1992) in reference to Widening of NC 24 between Kenansville and Beulaville, Duplin County, North Carolina, TIP No. R-2211BA and R-2211BB. The N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has completed a review of the proposed project and possible impacts on wildlife and fishery resources in the area. A field inspection of the project area was conducted by NCWRC staff on December 7, 1992. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661- 667d). The N. C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to improve and widen an existing highway corridor, resulting in the direct loss of 19.89 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands. Proposed mitigation for wetland impacts involves restoration of 40 acres of bottomland hardwood on a site 25 miles from the project area. Erosion and sedimentation from construction work may lead to degradation of fish habitat in the Northeast Cape Fear River and tributaries in the project area, and boating access to the river may be obstructed at times during road widening and bridge replacement work in the area. The NCWRC encourages use of existing right-of-way for highway improvements and supports the NCDOT in its choice of 4e Memo Page 2 December 11, 1992 such an alternative for this project. While the widened facility will-present a greater barrier to wildlife movements, the proposed bridges at the Northeast Cape Fear River and overflow and Limestone Creek will allow limited wildlife passage and reduce the effects of the project on connectivity of remaining habitat. The 60-foot median width proposed for one portion of the project will lead to increased loss of wetland habitat along the edge of the highway corridor in this area. However, the use of such a vegetated median will lessen the long-term hydrologic impact of the highway by avoiding rapid discharge of highway runoff into nearby aquatic systems. The design drawings accompanying the permit application (Sheets 16 and 22 of 32, R-2211BA) show an apparent discrepancy in the limits of wetland fill beneath the proposed bridge across the NortheastCape Fear River. While profile drawings indicate preservation of floodplain areas on both sides of the river, the plan drawing depicts fill immediately adjacent to the water. The Northeast Cape Fear represents a high quality fishery with relatively low levels of sedimentation, and public use of the fishery resource is high. without adequate vegetated buffer strips and strict erosion control precautions, construction impacts may lead to significant impact on the aquatic environment. The fill limits as shown in the plan view of the project would produce unnecessary habitat loss, and such fill should be avoided. The NCWRC does not object to issuance of a Section 404 Permit for this project, provided the following modifications are included as conditions of the permit: 1) Project designs for the crossing of the Northeast Cape Fear River should be modified to allow preservation of floodplain areas beneath the new bridge similar to those beneath the existing bridge, with similar span lengths for the two structures. 2) Strict erosion control measures should be maintained throughout the period of construction and revegetation of the project area, particularly at stream crossings. 3) The NCDOT should maintain safe public access to the NCWRC Boating Access Area at the Northeast Cape Fear River throughout construction. Obstruction of boating travel beneath the highway area should be minimized during bridge work. 4) The NCDOT should involve the NCWRC in consultations regarding mitigation for wetland losses involved with this project.

STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR SUBJECT: BDuplin Widening SNC 24 from tate Project n8.1240801)0 Dear Sir: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen NC 24 to provide additional travel lanes. The project begins at the Kenansville eastern corporate limits and ends orate limits. The project will at the Beulaville we Wayp. impact approximatel 1es of bottomland hardwood wetlands at eight sites.along t e The recommended improvements will provide a 4-lane, median- divided highway except for the project terminals at Kenansville and Beaulaville. Beginning at the three lane section at Kenansville, the project will then widen to a five-lane 64-foot section for 1350 feet. The roadway will then transition to the 4-lane, median- divided highway. This section will have a 60-foot median, and 28- foot pavement (to accommodate two 12-foot travel lanes, plus 2-foot paved shoulders) parallel, and adjacent to the existing pavement. The existing 22-foot pavement is to be-widened to 28 feet, and its outside shoulder and side slopes are to be rehabilitated to current standards where needed. The widening is to utilize the existing alignment and pavement to the extent possible to minimize adverse environmental effects. The proposed median and pavement will be located on the south side of existing NC 24 from 0.2 miles east of the Kenansville city limits to SR 1701. From SR 1701 to approximately 1600 feet east of SR 1726 the proposed new median and pavement will shift to the north side of NC 24 and transition to a symmetrically widened five-lane shoulder section. At SR 1762, the roadway will transition to a 64-foot curb and gutter section to tie into the existing roadway through Beulaville. . .r._?_... ._ A...:- Crr.r.1i -nr DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS On February 6, 1990 the Department of the Army and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with the Clean Water Act Section 404 (b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least damaging practical alternative, second, taking appropriate and practical steps to minimize impacts on waters and wetlands, and finally, compensating for any remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. Traffic demands along NC 24 corridor necessitate that this roadway be widened. The Environmental Assessment did not consider a new location alternative for this project, however, such an alignment would certainly have greater adverse impacts than widened along the existing road. The shift in widening from north to south of the existing roadway minimizes adverse effects on the environment and existing development. During the design stage, attempts were made to further minimize wetland impacts. Near Kenansville, the five-lane shoulder section with 64 feet of pavement including 2-foot paved shoulders was designed from the start of the 64-foot curb and gutter section to approximately 0.5 miles east of that point. A four lane median divided section was originally proposed for this section in the Environmental Assessment. This cross section revision saved an anticipated 3.9 acres of wetland impact. Consideration was also given to reducing the median width. The recommendation of a 60 foot median is based on the need to provide positive drainage of the pavement's subgrade. While it is possible to construct a narrower median, this will lead to costly maintenance measures in the future. The facility with a 60-foot median would also require flatter slopes and create greater distances between opposing vehicles resulting in a safer roadway. During the construction of the project, adverse impacts will be minimized using NCDOT best management practices. An effective erosion and sedimentation control program will also be required of the contractor. The NCDOT- s repared commit to mitigation for the remaining unavoidable 19.89 acres of wetland impacts. The NCDOT mitigation staff exami adway alignment and did not find a suitable mitigation area adjacent to the project. Accordingly, most of the search for suitable mitigation sites has been off-site. At this time, we are proposing to use a site already in NCDOT ownership. On September 3, 1992, the Corps of Engineers issued an Individual Permit (Action ID 199101124) for a new US 117 connector from Mt. Olive to I-40 near Faison in Duplin County. This permit stipulated that ten acres of bottomland hardwoods in the project area be preserved and thirty acres of cutover bottomland at be restored. A 91.25 acre tract was purchased in oshen Swamp adjacent to the right-of-way. This tract is about the crossing of NC 24 and the Northeast Cape Fear River, and is within the same planning syb-basin as the proposed project. Our preliminary investigations(onithis tract are continuing prior to implementation of the planting and monitoring program agreed to at an August 16, 1991 meeting with the Corps of Engineers and regulatory review agencies (Copy of Guidelines attached). It is possible that the remaining 51.25 acres on this tract will provide enough mitigation credit to cover impacts due to the current NC 24 project. The NCDOT is currently assessing the extent of wetlands on the property and evaluating options for reforesting the site. If this tract is not sufficient for the proposed new project, another site will need to be found. NCDOT anticipates the need to consult with the Corps of Engineers regarding the mitigation issue. NCDOT hereby requests that you review this proposal for authorization under an individual permit. For construction contract purposes, this project was divided into two sections: R- 2211BA is the western section and R-2211BB is the eastern section. Enclosed is a set of drawings for each section and a permit application summarizing the impacts of both. By copy of this letter we also are requesting Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the N.C. Division of Environmental Management.

R-2211BA AND R-2211BB. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant. North Carolina Highway 24 is to be improved between the Kenansville eastern corporate limits and'the Beulaville western corporate limits. It is to be widened to a 4-lane, median-divided highway except within the outskirts of Kenansville and Beulaville. Beginning at an existing three lane section at Kenansville, the roadway is to be improved to a five-lane, 64-foot-wide section through 1,350 linear feet. From this point, the roadway is to become the 4-lane, median-divided highway. A new 28-foot-wide pavement (12-foot-wide travel lanes and 2-foot-wide shoulders) is to be provided parallel and adjacent to the existing pavement. A 60-foot-wide median is to separate the existing and new pavements. The existing 22-foot-wide pavement is to be widened to 28 feet; and where needed, its outside shoulder and side slopes are to be rehabilitated to meet current standards. The project is to utilize the existing alignment and pavement to the extent possible to minimize impacts. The proposed median and pavement are to be located on the south side of existing North Carolina Highway 24 from 0.2 mile east of the Kenansville city limits to S.R. 1701. From S.R. 1701 to approximately 1,600 feet east of S.R. 1726, the proposed new median and pavement are to shift to the north side of North Carolina Highway 24 and transition to a symmetrically widened five-lane shoulder section. At S.R.726, the roadway is to transition to a 64-foot-wide curb and gutter section to tie into the existing roadway through Beulaville. The purpose of this work is to provide adequate travel lanes to safely meet traffic demands. The project has been divided into two sections for construction purposes. R-2211BA, the western section which contains seven wetland sites, lies between Kenansville and S.R. 1701; and R-2211BB, the eastern section which contains four wetland sites, lies between S.R. 1701 and Beulaville. Plans showing the work by section are included with this public notice. After a thorough, but unsuccessful search for a suitable mitigation area adjacent to the project area, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, s -2- Division of Highways, proposes to mitigate for the unavoidable loss of the 19.89 acres of wetlands by using a site which they presently own. On September 3, 1992, the Division of Highways was provided a Department of the Army permit to fill wetlands associated with construction of a new U.S. Highway 117 connector between Mount Olive and Interstate Highway 40 near Faison in Duplin County. This authorization stipulated that 10 acres of bottomland hardwoods in the project area be preserved and 30 acres of cut-over bottomland hardwood habitat be restored. A 91.25-acre tract was purchased in Goshen Swamp adjacent to the right-of-way. This tract is about 25 miles from the crossing of North Carolina Highway 24 and the Northeast Cape Fear River, and is within the same planning sub-basin as the proposed project. The Division of Highways proposes that restoration of the remaining 40 acres of cut-over bottomland hardwood on this tract provide mitigation for impacts resulting from the widening of North Carolina Highway 24. The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No DA permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500. This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit. The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular PW r? "+ -3- case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the USACE to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Generally, the decision whether to issue this DA permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDEM considers whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the DA permit serve as application to the NCDEM for certification. -4- Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs. The NCDEM plans to take final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after November 27, 1992. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before November 23, 1992. Attention: Mr. John Dorney. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Jeffrey Richter, Wilmington Field Office, Regulatory Branch, until 4:15 p.m., December 7, 1992, or telephone (919) 251-4636. --- - - - i - _ - - I 11 ,pp. I ?`• ' ? i -It 11 " L71. 111] .

R-2211BA and R-2211BB. 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 is 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, in most cases, 60 days after receipt of a request f ification is a reasonable time for state action. Therefore, if you ve n acted on the request, or asked for an extension of time, by 28,,11992, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred. Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Ernest Jahnke, Wilmington Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone (919) 251-4467.

MARTIN DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS GOVERNOR October 19, 1992 THOMAS J. HARRELSON SECRETARY District Engineer US Army Corps of Engineers PO Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402 ATTN: Regulatory Branch WILLIAM G. MARLEY, JR., P.E. STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR SUBJECT: Duplin County, Widening of NC 24 from Kenansville to Beulaville (TIP # R-2211B, State Project 8.1240801) Dear Sir: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen NC 24 to provide additional travel lanes. The project begins at the Kenansville eastern corporate limits and ends at the Beulaville western corporate limits. The project will impact approximately 19.89 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands at eight sites along the roadway. The recommended improvements will provide a 4-lane, median- divided highway except for the project terminals at Kenansville and Beaulaville. Beginning at the three lane section at Kenansville, the project will then widen to a five-lane 64-foot section for 1350 feet. The roadway will then transition to the 4-lane, median- divided highway. This section will have a 60-foot median, and 28- foot pavement (to accommodate two 12-foot travel lanes, plus 2-foot paved shoulders) parallel, and adjacent to the existing pavement. The existing 22-foot pavement is to be widened to 28 feet, and its outside shoulder and side slopes are to be rehabilitated to current standards where needed. The widening is to utilize the existing alignment and pavement to the extent possible to minimize adverse environmental effects. The proposed median and pavement will be located on the south side of existing NC 24 from 0.2 miles east of the Kenansville city limits to SR 1701. From SR 1701 to approximately 1600 feet east of SR 1726 the proposed new median and pavement will shift to the north side of NC 24 and transition to a symmetrically widened five-lane shoulder section. At SR 1762, the roadway will transition to a 64-foot curb and gutter section to tie into the existing roadway through Beulaville. An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer On February 6, 1990 the Department of the Army and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with the Clean Water Act Section 404 (b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least damaging practical alternative, second, taking appropriate and practical steps to minimize impacts on waters and wetlands, and finally, compensating for any remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. Traffic demands along NC 24 corridor necessitate that this roadway be widened. The Environmental Assessment did not consider a new location alternative for this project, however, such an alignment would certainly have greater adverse impacts than widened along the existing road. The shift in widening from north to south of the existing roadway minimizes adverse effects on the environment and existing development. During the design stage, attempts were made to further minimize wetland impacts. Near Kenansville, the five-lane shoulder section with 64 feet of pavement including 2-foot paved shoulders was designed from the start of the 64-foot curb and gutter section to approximately 0.5 miles east of that point. A four lane median divided section was originally proposed for this section in the Environmental Assessment. This cross section revision saved an anticipated 3.9 acres of wetland impact. Consideration was also given to reducing the median width. The recommendation of a 60 foot median is based on the need to provide positive drainage of the pavement's subgrade. While it is possible to construct a narrower median, this will lead to costly maintenance measures in the future. The facility with a 60-foot median would also require flatter slopes and create greater distances between opposing vehicles resulting in a safer roadway. During the construction of the project, adverse impacts will be minimized using NCDOT best management practices. An effective erosion and sedimentation control program will also be required of the contractor. The NCDOT is prepared commit to mitigation for the remaining unavoidable 19.89 acres of wetland impacts. The NCDOT mitigation staff examined roadway alignment and did not find a suitable mitigation area adjacent to the project. Accordingly, most of the search for suitable mitigation sites has been off-site. At this time, we are proposing to use a site already in NCDOT ownership. On September 3, 1992, the Corps of Engineers issued an Individual Permit (Action ID 199101124) for a new US 117 connector from Mt. Olive to I-40 near Faison in Duplin County. This permit stipulated that ten acres of bottomland hardwoods in the project area be ti preserved and thirty acres of cutover bottomland hardwood habitat be restored. A 91.25 acre tract was purchased in Goshen Swamp adjacent to the right-of-way. This tract is about 25 miles from the crossing of NC 24 and the Northeast Cape Fear River, and is within the same planning sub-basin as the proposed project. Our preliminary investigations on this tract are continuing prior to implementation of the planting and monitoring program agreed to at an August 16, 1991 meeting with the Corps of Engineers and regulatory review agencies (Copy of Guidelines attached). It is possible that the remaining 51.25 acres on this tract will provide enough mitigation credit to cover impacts due to the current NC 24 project. The NCDOT is currently assessing the extent of wetlands on the property and evaluating options for reforesting the site. If this tract is not sufficient for the proposed new project, another site will need to be found. NCDOT anticipates the need to consult with the Corps of Engineers regarding the mitigation issue. NCDOT hereby requests that you review this proposal for authorization under an individual permit. For construction contract purposes, this project was divided into two sections: R- 2211BA is the western section and R-22118B is the eastern section. Enclosed is a set of drawings for each section and a permit application summarizing the impacts of both. By copy of this letter we also are requesting Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the N.C. Division of Environmental Management. If you need additional information about this project please contact Mr. Gordon Cashin at (919) 733-9770. Sincerely,_ B.J.

R-2211BA AND R-2211BB. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant. North Carolina Highway 24 is to be improved between the Kenansville eastern corporate limits and'the Beulaville western corporate limits. It is to be widened to a 4-lane, median-divided highway except within the outskirts of Kenansville and Beulaville. Beginning at an existing three lane section at Kenansville, the roadway is to be improved to a five-lane, 64-foot-wide section through 1,350 linear feet. From this point, the roadway is to become the 4-lane, median-divided highway. A new 28-foot-wide pavement (12-foot-wide travel lanes and 2-foot-wide shoulders) is to be provided parallel and adjacent to the existing pavement. A 60-foot-wide median is to separate the existing and new pavements. The existing 22-foot-wide pavement is to be widened to 28 feet; and where needed, its outside shoulder and side slopes are to be rehabilitated to meet current standards. The project is to utilize the existing alignment and pavement to the extent possible to minimize impacts. The proposed median and pavement are to be located on the south side of existing North Carolina Highway 24 from 0.2 mile east of the Kenansville city limits to S.R. 1701. From S.R. 1701 to approximately 1,600 feet east of S.R. 1726, the proposed new median and pavement are to shift to the north side of North Carolina Highway 24 and transition to a symmetrically widened five-lane shoulder section. At S.R.726, the roadway is to transition to a 64-foot-wide curb and gutter section to tie into the existing roadway through Beulaville. The purpose of this work is to provide adequate travel lanes to safely meet traffic demands. The project has been divided into two sections for construction purposes. R-2211BA, the western section which contains seven wetland sites, lies between Kenansville and S.R. 1701; and R-2211BB, the eastern section which contains four wetland sites, lies between S.R. 1701 and Beulaville. Plans showing the work by section are included with this public notice. After a thorough, but unsuccessful search for a suitable mitigation area adjacent to the project area, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, -2- Division of ighways, proposes to mitigate for the unavoidable loss of the 19.89-acres of wetlands by using a site which they presently own. On Septel'f`µ;? 1.992, the Division of Highways was provided a Department of the Army permit to fill wetlands associated with construction of a new U.S. Highway 117 connector between Mount Olive and Interstate Highway 40 near Faison in Duplin County. This authorization stipulated that 10 acres of bottomland hardwoods in the project area be preserved and 30 acres of cut-over bottomland hardwood habitat be restored. A 91.25-acre tract was purchased in Goshen Swamp adjacent to the right-of-way. This tract is about 25 miles from the crossing of North Carolina Highway 24 and the Northeast Cape Fear River, and is within the same planning sub-basin as the proposed project. The Division of Highways proposes that restoration of the remaining 40 acres of cut-over bottomland hardwood on this tract provide mitigation for impacts resulting from the widening of North Carolina Highway 24. The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No DA permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500. This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit. The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular -3- case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the USACE to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Generally, the decision whether to issue this DA permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDEM considers whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the DA permit serve as application to the NCDEM for certification. -4- 0 Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs. The NCDEM plans to take final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after November 27, 1992. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before November 23, 1992. Attention: Mr. John Dorney. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Jeffrey Richter, Wilmington Field Office, Regulatory Branch, until 4:15 p.m., December 7, 1992, or telephone (919) 251-4636. 1 I) 1s t11I 12Y ? 11!1 t?

Army Corps of Engineers Public Notice Action ID. 199300273 dated November 5, 1992 describing a project proposal by the N. C. Department of Transportation, Division of Highways which involves impacting some 20 acr^s of bottomlan.d. hardwood wetland for improvements to ',TC 2A between Kenans,rille and Beulaville, within the Northeast Cape Fear River Drainage basin, in Duplin County. During the course of the review, important recommendations for relatively minor changes were submitted by the Wildlife Resources Commission. The Commission recommended that fill proposed beneath the bridge along the Cape Fear be avoided due to the importance and high quality of the system. Additionally, the Commission recommended: 1) Project designs for the crossing of the Northeast Cape Fear River should be modified to allow preservation of floodplain areas beneath the new bridge similar to those beneath the existing bridge, with similar span lengths for the two structures. 2) Strict erosion control measures should be maintained throughout the period of construction and revegetation of the project area, particularly at stream crossings. 3) The NCDOT should maintain safe public access to the NCWRC Boating Access Area at' she ivorL.:c?as Cape lli ar River throughout construction. Obstruction of boating travel beneath the highway area should be minimized during bridge work. P.O.

Division of Parks and Recreation - recommends efforts during con- struction to protect rare or threatened species. A copy of that agency's December 10, 1992 memorandum is enclosed. Division of Environmental Management - for the.record, issued the required Section 401 Water Quality Certification on December 11, 1992. Certification No. 2797, it should be noted, emphasizes the mitigation plan in item No. 2 of that document. This viewpoint position supports the added recommendation of the Wildlife Resources Commission. The necessity of the 60 foot median on. this particular project may also need further review. A reduction would reduce wetland impacts. Very sincerely, Jo R.

The project begins at the Kenansville eastern corporate limits and ends at the Beulaville western corporate limits. The NCDOT applied for. an Individual 404 permit for this project on October 19, 1992. According to the application, this project will impact approximately 19.89 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands at eight sites along the roadway. The purpose of this letter is to address comments on our initial application, submit revised permit drawings, and describe our proposed mitigation plan. By letter dated January 29, 1993, your agency transmitted the comments of the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC), and the N.C. Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources to NCDOT for comment and rebuttal. These comments were discussed at the interagency permit review meeting of February 19, 1993. . The WRC recommended that the project designs for the crossing of the Northeast Cape Fear River should be modified to allow preservation of the floodplain areas beneath the new bridge similar to those beneath the existing bridge, with similar span lengths for the two structures. The NCDOT will comply with these recommendations. The new structures will have at least the same length as the existing structures, and extra fill beneath the bridges will be avoided. Stringent erosion control measures will be implemented throughout the period of construction to further minimize impacts. The WRC also recommended that the NCDOT should maintain safe public access to the WRC Boating Access Area at the northeast Cape Fear River throughout construction. The obstruction of boating travel beneath the highway area should be minimized during bridge work. The NCDOT plans to comply with both of these recommendations. The NMFS expressed concerns regarding the federally endangered shortnose sturgeon and anadromous fish in general. The NCDOT has coordinated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concerning endangered species and anadromous fish species throughout the planning stages of this project. We have no reason to believe the endangered shortnose sturgeon is located in the project area. The USFWS and the NCDOT have mutually agreed to restrict construction activities in and adjacent to wetlands from March 1 to June 15 so as not to interfere with anadromous fish species. The NMFS also indicated that the proposed 60-foot median width /seemed to be excessive. They suggested that further consideration a should be given to reducing the median width where the highway passes through wetlands in order to minimize losses. This topic is complicated, and was discussed at length at the February 19,.1993 meeting. The proposed 60-foot median is based on two factors: roadway drainage and safety. A wider median is especially needed in eastern North Carolina in order to combat the drainage problems that are prevalent in that area. In addition to a high water table, the flat terrain inhibits the movement of stormwater to median drainage inlets. The NCDOT's hydraulics engineers have determined that to adequately drain a roadway, the bottom of the median ditch should be at least 1.5 feet below the subgrade (see Figure 1). Steeper median slopes would be required to reduce the median width for this project (See attached Figure 2). Unfortunately the required 1.5 feet from subgrade to ditch line cannot be maintained even with the steeper 6:1 median slopes. In eastern North Carolina such a facility will not adequately drain and will require premature maintenance activities due to water damage to the roadway. Figure 4 illustrates how drainage problems are usually overcome in eastern North Carolina. The median slopes must be varied in order to lower the ditch grades so that water can move to drainage inlets in the median. Our current design calls for steep median slopes of 4:1 at a few locations along the project because of this need to change the ditch grade. If a narrower median is incorporated into the design, this steep median slope would be needed frequently, and even steeper median slopes would be required in some areas so that water could move to the drainage inlets. In addition- to the drainage requirements, the need for a 60- foot median is also based on safety. Numerous studies across the nation have linked lower accident rates to wider medians. In North Carolina, studies have found that facilities with median widths less than 40 feet account for almost three times as many accidents as facilities with median widths greater than 60 feet. This is partially due to the steeper median slopes required for a narrower median (See Figure 2). A narrower median further compromises the safety of a facility where curves occur in the roadway. Figure 3 illustrates a problem that occurs when a roadway is "banked" with a superelevation rate of 0.06 ft./ft. through a curve. Raising the pavement edge requires the median slope to be steepened to 3 or 4 to 1. This slope is unacceptably steep and dangerous for a median. Narrower medians also create a problem for larger vehicles that do not have the turning capabilities of a car. Figure 5 illustrates a school bus's inability to make a safe U-turn across a 46 foot median. Figures 7 and 8 illustrate the bus's ability to barely accomplish those maneuvers with a 60-foot median. Although the NCDOT appreciates the need to minimize wetland impacts, there are additional factors to consider when designing a roadway. Reducing the proposed 60-foot median greatly impedes the facilities draining capabilities. This will result in costly and frequent maintenance activities in the future. The narrower median would also increase the probability of accidents and unnecessarily compromise highway safety. For these reasons, it is the NCDOT's position that a 60-foot median is justified for this project. During the review of several mistakes had been stated in our application. of wetland impact at Site new total of 20.37 acres c are enclosed of the revise 2211BB. our design, it was discovered thak made in the original wetland estimate There will be an additional 0.48 acres IV bf section R-2211BB. This produces a f wetland impact for the project. Copies d drawings and summary sheet for R- As mentioned in our initial application, the NCDOT is prepared to commit to mitigation for the 20.37 acres of wetland impacts associated with the project. The NCDOT mitigation staff examined the roadway alignment and did not find a suitable mitigation area adjacent to the project. Accordingly, most of the search for suitable mitigation sites has been off-site. At this time, we are proposing to use a site already in NCDOT ownership. On September 3, 1992, the Corps of Engineers issued an Individual Permit (Action ID 199101124) for a new US 117 connector from Mt. Olive to I-40 near Faison in Duplin County (Project R-0606). This permit stipulated that ten acres of bottomland hardwoods in the project area be preserved and thirty acres of cutover bottomland hardwood habitat be restored. A 91.25 acre tract was purchased in Goshen Swamp adjacent to the right-of-way. This tract is about 25 miles from the crossing of NC 24 and the Northeast Cape Fear River, and is within the same planning sub-basin as the proposed project. Our preliminary investigations on this tract are continuing prior to implementation of the planting and monitoring program developed at an August 16, 1991 meeting with the Corps of Engineers and regulatory review agencies (Copy of Guidelines attached). Based on further study of the tract, the 91.25 tract is composed of approximately 46.9 acres of undisturbed swamp forest, and 44.4 acres of logged bottomlands. Subtracting the already debited acreage, 36.9 acres of swamp forest and 14.4 acres of logged bottomland remain for use as mitigation. NCDOT proposes to use the remainder of this tract as mitigation for R-2211 B. A copy of the mitigation and monitoring guidelines for R-0606 was included in our application of October 19, 1992. These guidelines list the species proposed for planting in the logged areas. As the area has already begun to regenerate with early colonizing species, NCDOT has had some difficulty developing a feasible means of planting this area. At this time, we are developing a contract with the N.C. Division of Forest Resources to clear transects for planting with the proposed mast-bearing species. This should achieve a desirable mixture of tree species across the site. Once planting is completed, the monitoring program will begin. The NCDOT hereby requests that you review this proposal for authorization under an individual permit. For construction contract purposes, this project was divided into two sections: R- 2211BA is the western section and R-2211BB is the eastern section.

(TRANSFEREE) (DATE) *U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE: 1986 - 717-425 i /f f SPECIAL CONDITIONS 1) Construction in and adjacent to wetlands will be restricted from March 1 to June 15 so as not to interfere with anadromous fish species. 2) Safe public access to the North Carolina Wildlife Resoures Commission's Boating Access Area on the Northeast Cape Fear River will be maintained throughout construction. 3) Obstructions to boating travel under the highway area of the Northeast Cape Fear River crossing will be minimized during bridge work. 4) The fill material will be clean and free of any pollutants except in trace quantities. Metal products, organic materials, or unsightly debris will not be used. 5) The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase'in turbidity outside the.area of construction or construction-related discharge. Increases such that the turbidity in the waterbody is 50 NTU's or less in all rivers not designated as trout waters by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), 25 NTU's or . less in all saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or less in trout waters, are not considered significant. 6) tIf the permittee discovers any previously unknown historic or archeological remains while accomplishing the authorized work, he will immediately notify the Wilmington District Engineer who will initiate the required State/Federal coordination. 7) Should any information become available indicating the presence of the shortnose sturgeon, or any other federally threatened or endangered species, within the vicinity of the project, all work which may result in significant adverse impacts to the species or its critical habitat will stop until such time as the District Engineer has been contacted and advised NCDOT of appropriate measures to be taken to avoid said impacts. 8) The project will be redesigned so as to allow preservation of the floodplain areas beneath the new bridge, similar to those beneath the existing bridge, with similar span lengths for the two structures. The new structures will have at least the same length as the exising structures, and extra fill beneath the bridges will be avoided. 9) As mitigation for the proposed work, a 91.25 acre tract of land, adjacent to the Goshen Swamp and to the new US 117 connector from Mount Olive to I-40, about 25 miles from the proposed work, near Faison in Duplin County, will be used. Approximately 51.3 acres of this tract have already been committed for use as mitigation for another NCDOT project. The remaining 40 acres, about 10 acres of which are undisturbed swamp forest and the remainder which are logged bottomlands, will be used to offset the environmental impacts of the proposed work. Mitigation must be at least as comprehensive as described in NCDOT's October 19, 1992 submittal. ]$ul e?9?5 Cor e4ch ?roS_c . are re?teNc?. czS CO .Mi ? ?ov" US W ?rojec ?fl ' f ?5 PYn3 ej. r-'yr.aI?i _J ?) used- i°:: >` A m z m 0 _ w w rn C- c m w w n T m w N O w w O m 0 O z O m V ` O r a { m m c CD m 0 i O D S D c y CD a C _ Q N w cr CD Q. o CD CD d 3 CD z C CD d C 0 p y '.

MARTIN DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS GOVERNOR October 19, 1992 THOMAS J. HARRELSON SECRETARY District Engineer US Army Corps of Engineers PO Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402 ATTN: Regulatory Branch WILLIAM G. MARLEY, JR., P.E. STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR SUBJECT: Duplin County, Widening of NC 24 from Kenansville to Beulaville (TIP # R-2211B, State Project 8.1240801) Dear Sir: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen NC 24 to provide additional travel lanes. The project begins at the Kenansville eastern corporate limits and ends at the Beulaville western corporate limits. The project will impact approximately 19.89 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands at eight sites along the roadway. The recommended improvements will provide a 4-lane, median- divided highway except for the project terminals at Kenansville and Beaulaville. Beginning at the three lane section at Kenansville, the project will then widen to a five-lane 64-foot section for 1350 feet. The roadway will then transition to the 4-lane, median- divided highway. This section will have a 60-foot median, and 28- foot pavement (to accommodate two 12-foot travel lanes, plus 2-foot paved shoulders) parallel, and adjacent to the existing pavement. The existing 22-foot pavement is to be-widened to 28 feet, and its outside shoulder and side slopes are to be rehabilitated to current standards where needed. The widening is to utilize the existing alignment and pavement to the extent possible to minimize adverse environmental effects. The proposed median and pavement will be located on the south side of existing NC 24 from 0.2 miles east of the Kenansville city limits to SR 1701. From SR 1701 to approximately 1600 feet east of SR 1726 the proposed new median and pavement will shift to the north side of NC 24 and transition to a symmetrically widened five-lane shoulder section. At SR 1762, the roadway will transition to a 64-foot curb and gutter section to tie into the existing roadway through Beulaville. Anfinn FmnlnvPr C, z6z?- On February 6, 1990 the Department of the Army and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with the Clean Water Act Section 404 (b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least damaging practical alternative, second, taking appropriate and practical steps to minimize impacts on waters and wetlands, and finally, compensating for any remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. Traffic demands along NC 24 corridor necessitate that this roadway be widened. The Environmental Assessment did not consider a new location alternative for this project, however, such an alignment would certainly have greater adverse impacts than widened along the existing road. The shift in widening from north to south of the existing roadway minimizes adverse effects on the environment and existing development. During the design stage, attempts were made to further minimize wetland impacts. Near Kenansville, the five-lane shoulder section with 64 feet of pavement including 2-foot paved shoulders was designed from the start of the 64-foot curb and gutter section to approximately 0.5 miles east of that point. A four lane median divided section was originally proposed for this section in the Environmental Assessment. This cross section revision saved an anticipated 3.9 acres of wetland impact. Consideration was also given to reducing the median width. The recommendation of a 60 foot median is based on the need to provide positive drainage of the pavement's subgrade. While it is possible to construct a narrower median, this will lead to costly maintenance measures in the future. The facility with a 60-foot median would also require flatter slopes and create greater distances between opposing vehicles resulting in a safer roadway. During the construction of the project, adverse impacts will be minimized using NCDOT best management practices. An effective erosion and sedimentation control program will also be required of the contractor. ,-The NCDOT is prepared commit to mitigation for the remaining unavoidable 19.89 acres of wetland impacts. The NCDOT mitigation staff examined roadway alignment and did not find a suitable mitigation area adjacent to the project. Accordingly, most of the search for suitable mitigation sites has been off-site. At this time, we are proposing to use a site already in NCDOT ownership. On September 3, 1992, the Corps of Engineers issued an Individual Permit (Action ID 199101124) for a new US 117 connector from Mt. Olive to I-40 near Faison in Duplin County. This permit stipulated that ten acres of bottomland hardwoods in the project area be preserved and thirty acres of cutover bottomland hardwood habitat be restored. A 91.25 acre tract was purchased in Goshen Swamp adjacent to the right-of-way. This tract is about 25 miles from the crossing of NC 24 and the Northeast Cape Fear River, and is within the same planning sub-basin as the proposed project. Our preliminary investigations on this tract are continuing prior to implementation of the planting and monitoring program agreed to at an August 16, 1991 meeting with the Corps of Engineers and regulatory review agencies (Copy of Guidelines attached). It is possible that the remaining 51.25 acres on this tract will provide enough mitigation credit to cover impacts due to the current NC 24 project. The NCDOT is currently assessing the extent of wetlands on the property and evaluating options for reforesting the site. If this tract is not sufficient for the proposed new project, another site will need to.be found. NCDOT anticipates the need to consult with the Corps of Engineers regarding the mitigation issue. NCDOT hereby.requests that you review this proposal for authorization under an individual permit. For construction contract purposes, this project was divided into two sections: R- 2211BA is the western section and R-2211BB is the eastern section. Enclosed is a set of drawings for each section and a permit application summarizing the impacts of both. By copy of this letter we also are requesting Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the N.C. Division of Environmental Management.

STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR SUBJECT: Duplin County, Widening of NC 24 from Kenansville to M Beulaville (TIP # R-2211B, State Project 8.1240801) r Dear Sir: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen NC 24 to provide additional travel lanes. The project begins at the Kenansville eastern corporate limits and ends at the Beulaville western corporate limits. The project will impact approximately 19.89 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands at eight sites along the roadway. The recommended improvements will provide a 4-lane, median- divided highway except for the project terminals at Kenansville and Beaulaville. Beginning at the three lane section at Kenansville, the project will then widen to a five.-l-acne 64-foot section for 1350 feet. The roadway will then transition to the 4-lane, median- divided highway. This section will have a 60-foot median, and 28- foot pavement (to accommodate two 12-foot travel lanes, plus 2-foot paved shoulders) parallel, and adjacent to the existing pavement. The existing 22-foot pavement is to be-widened to 28 feet, and its outside shoulder and side slopes are to be rehabilitated to current standards where needed. The widening is to utilize the existing alignment and pavement to the extent possible to minimize adverse environmental effects. The proposed median and pavement will be located on the south side of existing NC 24 from 0.2 miles east of the Kenansville city limits to SR 1701. From SR 1701 to approximately 1600 feet east of SR 1726 the proposed new median and pavement will shift to the north side of NC 24 and transition to a symmetrically widened five-lane shoulder section. At SR 1762, the roadway will transition to a 64-foot curb and gutter section to tie into the existing roadway through Beulaville. 4r l On February 6, 1990 the Department of the Army and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with the Clean Water Act Section 404 (b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least damaging practical alternative, second, taking appropriate and practical steps to minimize impacts on waters and wetlands, and finally, compensating for any remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. Traffic demands along NC 24 corridor necessitate that this roadway be widened. The Environmental Assessment did not consider a new location alternative for this project, however, such an alignment would certainly have greater adverse impacts than widened along the existing road. The.'shift in widening from north to south of the existing roadway minimizes adverse effects on the environment and existing development. During the design stage, attempts were made to further minimize wetland impacts. Near Kenansville, the five-lane shoulder section with 64 feet of pavement including 2-foot paved shoulders was designed from the start of the 64-foot curb and gutter section to approximately 0.5 miles east of that point. A four lane median divided section was originally proposed for this section in the Environmental Assessment. This cross section revision saved an anticipated 3.9 acres of wetland impact. Consideration was also given to reducing the median width. The recommendation of a 60 foot median is based on the need to provide positive drainage of the pavement's subgrade. While it is possible to construct a narrower median, this will lead to costly maintenance measures in the future. The facility with a 60-foot median would also require flatter slopes and create greater distances between opposing vehicles resulting in a safer roadway. During the construction of the project, adverse impacts will be minimized using NCDOT best management practices. An effective erosion and sedimentation control program will also be required of the contractor. The NCDOT is prepared commit to mitigation for the remaining unavoidable 19.89 acres of wetland impacts. The NCDOT mitigation staff examined roadway alignment and did not find a suitable mitigation area adjacent to the project. Accordingly, most of the search for suitable mitigation sites has been off-site. At this time, we are proposing to use a site already in NCDOT ownership. On September 3, 1992, the Corps of Engineers issued an Individual Permit (Action ID 199101124) for a new US 117 connector from Mt. Olive to I-40 near Faison in Duplin County. This permit stipulated that ten acres of bottomland hardwoods in the project area be C ? preserved and thirty acres of cutover bottomland hardwood habitat be restored. A 91.25 acre tract was purchased in Goshen Swamp adjacent to the right-of-way. This tract is about 25 miles from the crossing of NC 24 and the Northeast Cape Fear River, and is within the same planning sub-basin as the proposed project. Our preliminary investigations on this tract are continuing prior to implementation of the planting and monitoring program agreed to at an August 16, 1991 meeting with the Corps of Engineers and regulatory review agencies (Copy of Guidelines attached). It is possible that the remaining 51.25 acres on this tract will provide enough mitigation credit to cover impacts due to the current NC 24 project. The NCDOT is currently assessing the extent of wetlands on the property and evaluating options for reforesting the site. If this tract is not sufficient for the proposed new project, another site will need to be found. NCDOT anticipates the need to consult with the Corps of Engineers regarding the mitigation issue. NCDOT hereby requests that you review this proposal for authorization under an individual permit. For construction contract purposes, this project was divided into two sections: R- 2211BA is the western section and R-2211BB is the eastern section. Enclosed is a set of drawings for each section and a permit applivation summarizing the impacts of both. By copy of this letter\we also are requesting Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the N.C. Division of Environmental Management.

Dear 'Sir: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to widen NC 24 to provide additional travel lanes. The project begins at the Kenansville eastern corporate limits and ends at the Beulaville western corporate limits. The NCDOT applied for an Individual 404 permit for this project on October 19, 1992. According to the application, this project will impact approximately 19.89 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands at eight sites along the roadway. The purpose of this letter is to address comments on our initial application, submit revised permit drawings, and describe our proposed mitigation plan. 2r- By letter dated January 29, 1993, your agency transmitted the comments of the Natrional Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC), and the N.C. Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources to NCDOT for comment and rebuttal. These comments were discussed at the interagency permit review meeting of February 19, 1993. The WRC recommended that the project designs for the crossing of the Northeast Cape Fear River should be modified to allow preservation of the floodplain areas beneath the new bridge similar to those beneath the existing bridge, with similar span lengths for the two structures.,. The NCDOT will comply with these recommendations. The new structures will have at least the same length as the existing structures, and extra fill beneath the bridges will be avoided. Stringent erosion control measures will be implemented throughout the period of construction to, further minimize impacts. > * 3 The WRC also recommended that the NCDOT should maintain safe public access to the WRC Boating Access Area at the northeast Cape Fear River throughout construction. The obstruction of boating travel beneath the highway area should be minimized during bridge work. The NCDOT plans to comply with both of these recommendations. The NMFS expressed concerns regarding the federally endangered shortnose sturgeon and anadromous fish in general. The NCrfOT has coordinated with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concerning endangered species and anadromous fish species throughout the planning stages of this project. We have no reason to believe the endangered shortnose'sturgeon is located in the project area. The USFWS and the NCDOT have mutually agreed to restrict construction activities in and adjacent to wetlands from March 1 to June 15 so as not to interfere with anadromous fish species. \ The NMFS also indicated that the proposed 60-foot median width seem6d to be excessive. They suggested that further consideration should be given to reducing the median width where the highway passes through wetlands in order to minimize losses. This topic is complicated, and was discussed at length at the February 19,.1993 meeting. The proposed 60-foot median is based on two factors: roadway drainage and safety. A wider median is especially needed in eastern North Carolina in order to combat the drainage problems that are prevalent in that area. In addition to a high water table, the flat terrain inhibits the movement of stormwater to median drainage inlets. The NCDOT's hydraulics engineers have determined that to adequately drain a roadway, the bottom of the median ditch should be at least 1.5 feet below the subgrade (see Figure 1}?' _¢ Steeper median slopes would be required to reduce the median width for this project (See attached Figure 2). Unfortunately the required 1.5 feet from subgrade to ditch line cannot be maintained even with the steeper 6:1 median slopes. In eastern North Carolina such a facility will not adequately drain and will require premature maintenance activities due to water damage to the roadway. Figure 4 illustrates how drainage problems are usually overcome in eastern North Carolina. The median slopes must be varied in order to lower the ditch grades so that water can move to drainage inlets in the median. Our current design calls for steep median slopes of 4:1 at a few locations along the project because of this need to change the ditch grade. If a narrower median is incorporated into the design, this steep median slope would be needed frequently, and even steeper median slopes would be required in some areas so that water could move to the drainage inlets. In addition to the drainage requirements, the need for a 60- foot median is also based on safety. Numerous studies across the nation have linked lower accident rates to wider medians. In North Carolina, studies have found that facilities with median widths less than 40 feet account for almost three times as many accidents as facilities with median widths greater than 60 feet. This is partially due to the steeper median slopes required for a narrower median (See Figure 2). A narrower median further compromises the safety of a facility where curves occur in the roadway. Figure 3 illustrates a problem that occurs when a roadway is "banked" with a superelevation rate of 0.06 ft./ft. through a curve. Raising the pavement edge requires the median slope to be steepened to 3 or 4 to 1. This slope is unacceptably steep and dangerous for a median. Narrower medians also create a problem for larger vehicles that do not have the turning capabilities of a car. Figure 5 illustrates a school bus's inability to make a safe U-turn across a 46 foot median. Figures 7 and 8 illustrate the bus's ability to barely accomplish those maneuvers with a 60-foot median. Although the NCDOT appreciates the need to minimize wetland impacts, there are additional factors to consider when designing a roadway. Reducing the proposed 60-foot median greatly impedes the facilities draining capabilities. This will result in costly and frequent maintenance activities in the future. The narrower median would also increase the probability of accidents and unnecessarily compromise highway safety. For these reasons, it is the NCDOT's position that a 60-foot median is justified for this project. During the review of our design, it was discovered that several mistakes had been made in the original wetland estimate stated in our application. There will be an additional 0.43 acres of wetland impact at Site IV bf section R-2211BB. This produces a new total of 20.37 acres of wetland impact for the project. Copies are enclosed of the revised drawings and summary sheet for R- 2211BB. As mentioned in our initial application, the NCDOT is prepared to commit to mitigation for the 20.37 acres of wetland impacts associated with the project. The NCDOT mitigation staff examined the roadway alignment and did not find a suitable mitigation area adjacent to the project. Accordingly, most of the search for suitable mitigation sites has been off-site. At this time, we are proposing to use a site already in NCDOT ownership. On September 3, 1992, the Corps of Engineers issued an individual Permit (Action ID 199101124) for a new US 117 connector from Mt. Olive to I-40 near Faison in Duplin County (Project R-0606). This permit stipulated that ten acres of bottomland hardwoods in the project area be preserved and thirty acres of cutover bottomland hardwood habitat be restored. A 91.25 acre tract was purchased in Goshen Swamp adjacent to the right-of-way. This tract is about 25 miles from the crossing of NC 24 and the Northeast Cape Fear River, and is within the same planning sub-basin as the proposed project. Our preliminary investigations on this tract are continuing prior to implementation of the planting and monitoring program developed at an August 16, 1991 meeting with the Corps of Engineers and regulatory review agencies (Copy of Guidelines attached). .I Based on further study of the tract, the 91.25 tract is composed of approximately 46.9 acres of undisturbed swamp forest, and 44.4 acres of logged bottomlands. Subtracting the already debited acreage, 36.9 acres of swamp forest and 14.4 acres of logged bottomland remain for use as mitigation. NCDOT proposes to use the remainder of this tract as mitigation for R-2211 B. A copy of the mitigation and monitoring guidelines for R-0606 was•<.included in our application of October 19, 1992. These guiderlines list the species proposed for planting in the logged areas. As the area has already begun to regenerate with early colonizing species, NCDOT has had some difficulty developing a feasible means of planting this area. At this time, we are developing a contract with the N.C. Division of Forest Resources to clear transects for planting with the proposed mast-bearing species. This should achieve a desirable mixture of tree species across the site. Once planting is completed, the monitoring program will begin. The NCDOT hereby requests that you review this proposal for authorization under an individual permit. For construction contract purposes, this project was--divided into two sections: R- 2211BA is the western section and R2-ill1BB is the eastern section.

Action ID. 199300273 November 5, 1 PUBLIC NOTICE THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS, Post Office Box 25201, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-5201, has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIALS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WIDENING OF NORTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 24, RESULTING IN IMPACTS TO 19.89 ACRES OF BOTTOMLAND HARDWOOD WETLANDS AT ELEVEN SITES, WITHIN THE NORTHEAST CAPE FEAR RIVER DRAINAGE BASIN, BETWEEN KENANSVILLE AND BEULAVILLE, Duplin County, North Carolina, State Project Nos. R-2211BA AND R-2211BB. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant. North Carolina Highway 24 is to be 'improved between the Kenansville eastern corporate limits and'the.Beulaville western corporate limits. It is to be widened to a 4-lane, median-divided highway except within the outskirts of Kenansville and Beulaville. Beginning at an existing three lane section at Kenansville, the roadway is to be improved to a five-lane, 64-foot-wide section through 1,350 linear feet. From this point, the roadway is to become the 4-lane, median-divided highway. A new 28-foot-wide pavement (12-foot-wide travel lanes and 2-foot-wide shoulders) is to be provided parallel and adjacent to the existing pavement. A 60-foot-wide median is to separate the existing and new pavements. The existing 22-foot-wide pavement is to be widened to 28 feet; and where needed, its outside shoulder and side slopes are to be rehabilitated to meet current standards. The project is to utilize the existing alignment and pavement to the extent possible to minimize impacts. The proposed median and pavement are to be located on the south side of existing North Carolina Highway 24 from 0.2 mile east of the Kenansville city limits to S.R. 1701. From S.R. 1701 to approximately 1,600 feet east of S.R. 1726, the proposed new median and pavement are to shift to the north side of North Carolina Highway 24 and transition to a symmetrically widened five-lane shoulder section. At S.R.726, the roadway is to transition to a 64-foot-wide curb and gutter section to tie into the existing roadway through Beulaville. The purpose of this work is to provide adequate travel lanes to safely meet traffic demands. The project has been divided into two sections for construction purposes. R-2211BA, the western section which contains seven wetland sites, lies between Kenansville and S.R. 1701; and R-2211BB, the eastern section which contains four wetland sites, lies between S.R. 1701 and Beulaville. Plans showing the work by section are included with this public notice. After a thorough, but unsuccessful search for a suitable mitigation area adjacent to the project area, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, -2- Division of Highways, proposes to mitigate for the unavoidable loss of the 19.89 acres of wetlands by using a site which they presently own. On September 3, 1992, the Division of Highways was provided a Department of the .Army permit to fill wetlands associated with construction of a new U.S. Highway 117 connector between Mount Olive and Interstate Highway 40 near Faison in Duplin County. This authorization stipulated that 10 acres of bottomland hardwoods in the project area be preserved and 30 acres of cut-over bottomland hardwood habitat be restored. A 91.25-acre tract was purchased in Goshen Swamp adjacent to the right-of-way. This tract is about 25 miles from the crossing of North Carolina Highway 24 and the Northeast Cape Fear River, and is within the same planning sub-basin as the proposed project. The Division of Highways proposes that restoration of the remaining 40 acres of cut-over bottomland hardwood on this tract provide mitigation for impacts resulting from the widening of North Carolina Highway 24. The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No DA permit will be issued until the coordinated ',State viewpoint on the proposal has been.received and reviewed by this agency,; nor will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
