I DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers Post Office Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 ACTION ID No. 199705426 September 30, 1999 PUBLIC NOTICE THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (NCDOT), DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS, Post Office Box 25201, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-5201 has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act TO DISCHARGE DREDGED OR FILL MATERIAL IMPACTING A TOTAL OF 6.30 ACRES OF WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES, INCLUDING 5.95 ACRES OF SECTION 404 WETLANDS AND 2,483 LINEAR FEET OF STREAM, FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A 2.68 MILE BYPASS ON NEW LOCATION FROM JUST SOUTH OF DEEP RUN TO SR 1158, INCLUDING A NEW BRIDGE OVER SOUTHWEST CREEK, IN LENOIR COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, TIP R-2001B, STATE PROJECT NO. 6.201014. THE PROPOSED PROJECT CROSSES SOUTHWEST AND DEEP RUN CREEKS, UNNAMED TRIBUTARIES, AND ADJACENT WETLANDS. BACKGROUND: The social, economic, and environmental impacts associated with this project have been described in a North Carolina State Environmental Assessment (EA) dated October 30, 1990, in a State Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) dated May 18, 1992, and finally, in an Addendum to the FONSI dated June 11, 1999. According to the 25th edition of the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), R-2001B is scheduled for construction in 2003. On October 10, 1994, the NCDOT submitted a Nationwide Permit application for Sections B and C of the R-2001 project. At that time, Section C qualified for a Nationwide 26 permit with no notification needed to the Corps of Engineers since all wetland sites impacted were under an acre in size and above headwaters. However, three of the wetland sites were greater than one third of an acre and thus required notification to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for Section 401 approval. The 401 Water Quality Certification was approved on October 19, 1994, (DEM Project # 94976). The NCDOT attempted to let Section C twice and in each case the bids came in too high. The 401 Water Quality Certification expired in 1997. On January 15, 1998, the NCDOT submitted an individual permit application for R-2001 B and C sections and a public notice was circulated. I. a 2 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) responded to the public notice by letter and stated that Section B, the Deep Run Bypass, did not appear to meet the avoidance and minimization requirements of the Section 404 (b)(1) guidelines of the Clean Water Act and requested NCDOT restudy further avoidance and minimization measures. As a result, NCDOT requested a nationwide permit for Section C only. Section C of the project was let in January 1999 (Action ID No. 199811800). The permit application request for both sections was withdrawn. Additional avoidance and minimization measures were addressed in the 1999 Addendum to the FONSI and include the options of increased bridge lengths and removing the existing bridge and associated wetland fill on NC 11. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during onsite inspections by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show that the NCDOT proposes to upgrade one section of NC 11 from 0.2 miles south of Deep Run Creek to SR 1158. The proposed project is a 2.68 mile bypass on new location just west of Deep Run and will be a four-lane highway with a 46 foot wide median. The highway improvements include the construction of a new bridge across Southwest Creek which will span 687 feet of high quality riverine wetlands. Right-of-way has been purchased and some relocations have been completed. The project will involve fill impacts to 0.34 acres on unvegetated waters of the United States. These impacts to stream channels occur at 5 locations throughout the project. Culverts or pipes will be used at stream crossings to allow for adequate hydrologic flow underneath the roadway. Wetland impacts will occur at 4 separate sites and are both riverine and non-riverine wetland types. Approximately 3.39 acres of forested riverine wetlands will be filled by the proposed project and 2.55 acres of non-riverine wetlands. Wetlands adjacent to Southwest Creek are of high quality and total 3.39 acres of forested riverine acres to be destroyed. NCDOT has committed to bridge 687 feet of these Southwest Creek floodplain wetlands. NCDOT proposes to mitigate for the wetland losses by removing the existing bridge and associated fill in the Southwest Creel floodplain which will restore 3.61 acres of riverine wetlands (See Attached Sheet 26 of 26). This on-site restoration is proposed at a 1:1 ratio which would lower wetland impacts to 2.34 acres. The applicant proposes to compensate for the remaining wetland impacts by restoring 4.68 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands at the Gurley Mitigation Site (GMS), located in Greene County outside of the project watershed. A final mitigation plan for the mitigation site has been completed, distributed to the agencies, and is approved. NCDOT proposed to compensate for stream losses by utilizing the Wetland Restoration Program (WRP) to mitigate for the 2,149 linear feet of jurisdictional stream impacts. i 3 The purpose of the work is to facilitate the completion of a major rural collector, identified by NCDOT as a "critical connector" from I-40 near Kenansville to the Virgina State border. The proposed project improvements are scheduled in conjunction with two other projects (R-2204 and R-2211) forming the southern leg of the connector. A site map is included with this public notice along with the overall plans showing the proposed construction and wetland impacts. The environmental documents and application are available for review at the Washington Regulatory Field Office at 107 Union Drive, Suite 202, Washington, North Carolina. The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the Army (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 Certification 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 a 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. This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The DE's initial determination is that the proposed project would not adversely impact EFH or associated fisheries managed by the South Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Fishery Councils or the NMFS. 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 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 i 4 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 Agency's 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 Corps of Engineers 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 Corps of Engineers 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 Department of the Army (DA) permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDWQ 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 serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification. Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs. 5 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 Water Quality (NCDWQ), Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before October 22, 1999, Attention: Mr. John Dorney. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Michael F.

DAVID MCCOY 27611-5201 GOVERNOR ??nn SECRETARY CC August 6, 1999 ?C+?`?`O Mr. N ichael F. Bell Washington Regulatory Field Office U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Post Office Box 1000 Washington, North Carolina 27889-1000 Dear Sir: Subject: Lenoir County, NC 11 from 0. 2 miles South of Deep Run Creek to SR 1152, By-Pass of Deep Run, State Project No. 6.201014, T.I.P. No. R-2001B. AID 199705426. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade NC 11 in Lenoir County from 0.2 miles south of Deep Run Creek to SR 1152. Section R-2001B is a 2.68 mile bypass on new location from just south of Deep Run Creek to SR 1158 and will be a four- lane roadway with a 46 foot wide median. NC 11, a major rural collector, has been identified by the NCDOT as a "critical connector" from I40 near Kenansville to the Virginia State border passing through Kinston and Greenville and connecting three intrastate corridors. The proposed project improvements are scheduled in conjunction with two other projects (R-2204 and R-2211) forming the southern leg of the connector. R-2211 extends from I40 to NC 24 and bypasses Kenansville. R-2204 completes the Kenansville Bypass between NC 24 and existing NC 11 and extends to SR 1110, providing a bypass of Pink Hill. On January 15, 1998 an individual permit application was submitted for R-2001 B and C. Sections B and C were scheduled to be let to construction at the same time; therefore, the permit application process for each section was combined into an individual permit application. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the DWQ commented that Section B, the Deep Run Bypass, did not fulfill the requirements for avoidance and minimization of impacts to jurisdictional waters of the United States. In addition, in an August 3, 1998 letter you stated that avoidance and minimization requirements were not met for Section B and requested that we study additional avoidance options and prepare appropriate documentation. We subsequently withdrew the application. Specifically you requested that we look at the avoidance option of removing the existing bridge on NC 11 and the associated fill in the Southwest Creek floodplain. 2 In compliance with the requests by DWQ, EPA, and the USACE we restudied the alternatives and incorporated further avoidance and minimization measures. These issues were addressed in an Addendum to the FONSI issued June 11, 1999. This document was transmitted to the resources agencies. An additional copy is enclosed with this application for your convenience. Summary of f Impacts: Impacts on jurisdictional areas of Section R-200 1B consist of a total of 5.95 acres of permanent wetland impacts which consist of 4.92 acres of fill, 0.17 acres of excavation, and X0.86 acres due to mechanized clearing. There will also be 0.35 acres of fill in surface waters. e°te4will be approximately 2,483 linear feet of jurisdictional stream impacts. Summary of Nia?Q he project has been redesigned to further avoid and minimize impacts to the wetlands associated r th Southwest Creek as follows: • We have lengthened the bridge from 45 meters (148 feet) to 209.5 meters (687 feet) which will bridge the high quality wetlands adjacent to the creek. • We will remove the existing bridge on NC 11 and the associated fill in the Southwest Creek floodplain, which will provide 3.61 acres of on-site wetland restoration. • We have added a 900mm pipe at Station 26+60 (Sheet 11 of 26) to provide hydrologic connection across the adjacent wetland as requested by the USACE and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC). • The bridges will be constructed from a work bridge. No construction causeways will be used in the high quality wetlands associated with Southwest Creek. • The construction zone for the bridges will be limited to the area between the two bridges. No equipment will be allowed on the outside edges bridges. • The area underneath the new bridges will be hand-cleared (chainsaw and brush hogging). No grubbing will be allowed and no heavy equipment that might compact the soil will be -allowed in the cleared area (Sheets 9 and 10 of 26). We will provide 4.68 acres of restoration compensatory mitigation from the Gurley Mitigation Site for the remaining wetland mitigation requirement. In addition, we propose to use WRP to mitigate for the 2,149 linear feet of jurisdictional stream impacts. NEPA DOCUMENT STATUS A North Carolina State Environmental Assessment (SEA) was submitted by the NCDOT on October 30, 1990 in compliance with the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act. The document addressed R -2001A, the widening of the existing two-lane facility from SR 1194 north of Pink Bill to 0.2 miles south of Deep Run Creels, as well as R -2001B and R 2001 C, the subject of this application. The SEA explains the purpose and need for the project; provides a description of the alternatives considered; and characterizes the social, economic, and environmental effects. After the SEA was approved it was circulated to federal state and local agencies. On May 18, 1992 a FONSI was approved for R-2001. Copies of the EA and FONSI have been provided to regulatory review agencies involved in the approval process. Additional copies will be provided upon request. R-2001 B is in compliance with 23 CFR Part 771.111(f) which lists the FHWA characteristics of independent utility of a project: 3 (1) The project connects logical termini and is of sufficient length to address environmental matters on a broad scope; (2) The project is usable and a reasonable expenditure, even if no additional transportation improvements are made in the area; (3) The project does not restrict consideration of alternatives for other reasonably foreseeable transportation improvements. RESOURCE STATUS Wetland delineations: wetland delineations were conducted using the criteria specified in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. Mr. Bill Biddlecomb of the DOA WASHINGTON Regulatory Field Office verified the delineations in the field. The attached permit application package consists of drawings depicting jurisdictional impacts in Sections B. The construction of Section B will result in a total of 5.95 acres of wetland impacts that consist of 4.92 acres of fill, 0.17 acres of excavation, and 0.86 acres due to mechanized clearing (Clearing Method III). Sheet 3 of 26 provides site specific quantity breakdowns for the impacts. • Site 1 has a DWQ Rating of 54. It is located adjacent to Deep Run Creek, a perennial stream, has sandy soil and is characterized by sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), and bamboo vine (Smilax laurifolia). Deep Run Creek is a second order stream with a DEM index 27-80-1 and a water quality designation of C Sw NSW. • Site 2 is a perennial stream. • Site 3 is a non jurisdictional ditch system. • Site 4 has a DWQ rating of 85. It is located adjacent to Southwest Creek, a perennial stream, and has predominantly muck soils. It is characterized by three types of vegetation: cypress- gum swamp, herbaceous marsh, and scrub/shrub wetland. The cypress-gum swamp is characterized by bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), and wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera). Under Schafale and Weakley (1990) the natural plant community would be classified as a Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp (Blackwater subtype). The herbaceous marsh wetlands are located adjacent to the creek and characterized by herbaceous hydrophytic species such as pennywort (Hydrocotyle sp.), arrow arum (Peliandra virginica), greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), and cat-tail (Typha latifolia). Southwest Creek is braided into several channels in this area. The scrub/shrub wetlands are located fin ther upslope from the herbaceous marsh and characterized by red maple (Acer rubrum), sweet gum, and yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). This area has been logged 5 to 10 years ago and has grown back in an impenetrable thicket. • Site 5 has a DWQ rating of 86. It is located on an unnamed perennial stream that is a tributary of Southwest Creek, has mineral soils and is characterized by red maple, sweet gum (Liquidambar styracflua), and red bay (Persea borbonia). 4 Site 6 has a DWQ rating of 56. It is located in a predominantly ditched area of sandy soils and characterized by sweet bay (Magnolia virginiana), red maple, and giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea). • Site 7 is a perennial stream crossing.

Endangered Species: Plants and animals with Federal classification of Endangered (E) or Threatened (T) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of May 1, 1997, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) lists two species for Lenoir County: the red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) and the sensitive jointvetch (Aeschynomene virginica). A biological conclusion of No Effect was reached for the sensitive jointvetch based on a plant by plant survey of on-site habitat performed August 12, 1996. In 1992 surveys were performed for the red-cockaded woodpecker and a biological conclusion of No Effect was reached. Due to the five years since the original survey, the NCDOT initiated a reevaluation of protected species for the project. The results of the survey indicate that there is no RCW habitat and that there will be no effect on the species. The Service issued a letter of concurrence with the No Effect status on December 3, 1997. Cultural Resources: We are in the process of finalizing clearance of the historic and archaeological resources with the SB PO as requested in their letters dated February 6, 1991, July 10, 1992, and November 14,1994. We will survey all the creek crossings along the project to identify the potential for significant archaeological sites and will submit a management summary of the findings. If any archaeological sites are identified, we will undertake testing to determine each site's eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and, if necessary, carry out a data recovery program to avoid adversely affecting an eligible site. I 5 MITIGATION OPTIONS The Corps of Engineers had adopted, through the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), a wetland mitigation policy that embraces the concept of "no net loss of wetlands" and sequencing. The purpose of this policy is to restore and maintain the chemical, biological, and physical integrity of the Waters of the United States. Mitigation of wetland and surface water impacts has been defined by the CEQ to include: avoiding impacts, minimizing impacts, rectifying impacts, reducing impacts over time and compensating for impacts (40 CFR 1508.20). Executive Order 11990 (Protection of Wetlands) and Department of Transportation Order 5660.1A (Preservation of the Nations Wetlands), emphasize protection of the functions and values provided by wetlands. These directives require that new construction in wetlands be avoided as much as possible, and that all practicable measures are taken to minimize or mitigate impacts to wetlands. The NCDOT is committed to incorporating all reasonable and practicable design features to avoid and minimize wetland impacts, and to provide full compensatory mitigation of all remaining wetland impacts. Avoidance measures were taken during the planning and SEA/FONSI phases; minimization measures were incorporated as part of the project design. AVOIDANCE: All wetland areas not affected by the project will be protected from unnecessary encroachment. 1. No staging of construction equipment or storage of construction supplies will be allowed in wetlands or near surface waters. 2. The bridge over Southwest Creek (Site 4) was lengthened from 45 meters (148 feet) to 209.5 meters (687 feet). This longer bridge will decrease the wetland impacts at this site by 42 percent or 2.14 acres. All of the cypress-gum swamp and herbaceous marsh wetlands will be bridged as well as a portion of the cutover. MINIMIZATION: Minimization includes the examination of appropriate and practicable steps to reduce the adverse impacts. Minimization techniques were implemented as follows: 1. Slopes: Fill slopes in wetlands are at 2:1 except at Site 5 (Station 34+00) where the slope is 3:1. A 2:1 slope would necessitate the use of a guardrail and an additional three feet of shoulder width, which would not reduce the wetland impact. 2. Best Management Practices: Strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best Management Practices (BMP) for the protection of surface waters and wetlands. 3. Ditchin¢: It is the policy of the NCDOT to eliminate lateral ditching in wetlands as much as possible, thus preserving the hydrology of adjacent wetlands. 4. Median Width: The project was designed using a 46-foot median width. 5. Clearing: Clearing Method III will be used. s 6 6. Site 1: Station 5+00. This is the location of the proposed channel change. The length of the existing stream channel, the extension of the existing reinforced concrete box culvert and the length of the proposed new stream channel are depicted on Sheets 5 and 6 of 25. The wetland around the new stream channel will be planted with native species. A total of 0.18 hectares (0.44 acres) will be planted. COMPENSATION: The primary emphasis of the mitigation is to reestablish a condition similar to that which existed if the project were not built. As previously stated, mitigation is limited to reasonable expenditures and practicable considerations related to highway operation. Mitigation is generally accomplished through a combination of methods designed to replace wetland functions and values lost as a result of construction of the project. These methods consist of creation of new wetlands from uplands, borrow pits, and other non-wetland areas; restoration of wetlands; and enhancement of existing wetlands. All compensatory mitigation must be in compliance with 23 CFR Part 777.9, "Mitigation of Impacts" that describes the actions that should be followed to qualify for Federal-aid highway funding. This process is known as the FHWA "Step Down" procedures: 1. Consideration must be given to mitigation within the right-of-way and should include the enhancement of existing wetlands and the creation of new wetlands in the highway median, borrow pit areas, interchange areas and along the roadside. 2. Where mitigation within the right-of-way does not fully offset wetland losses, compensatory mitigation may be conducted outside the right-of-way including enhancement, creation, and preservation. Wetland Compensation: As previously mentioned, We will remove the existing bridge on NC 11 and the associated fill in the Southwest Creek floodplain which will provide 3.61 acres of on-site wetland restoration (Sheet 26 of 26). The existing causeway is 1312 feet long and 120 feet wide. The material will be removed to the elevation of the surrounding natural terrain. On July 23, 1999 you indicated that we could use this on-site restoration at a credit ratio of 1:1. Therefore, total wetland impacts of 5.95 acres minus 3.61 acres on-site restoration equals 2.34 acres. We will mitigate for this remaining 2.34 acres of impact by providing 4.68 acres of off-site restoration at the Gurley Mitigation Site. The NCDOT has purchased a tract known as the Gurley Mitigation Site for use as a wetland mitigation site. A Final Mitigation Plan for the Gurley Mitigation Site has been completed, distributed to the resource agencies, and is approved. We propose to use this site to mitigate for the wetland impacts associated with this project. Both the project and the mitigation sites are located within the Neuse River Basin. The 179-acre Gurley Mitigation Site tract is adjacent to Nahunta Swamp, immediately west of the confluence of Nahunta Swamp and Beaver Branch in the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province of North Carolina. It is located approximately eight miles northwest of Snow Hill, 12 miles northeast of Goldsboro and 16 miles southeast of Wilson and transected on the north and east by SR 1058 and SR 1253. Specifically, we propose to use 4.92 credits of bottomland hardwood restoration. We have prepared a Status Report updating the use of the Gurley Mitigation Site for compensatory mitigation. A copy is enclosed with this application. a 7 • Stream Compensation: As previously stated in the summary, we propose to use WRP to mitigate for the 2,149 linear feet of jurisdictional stream impacts. REGULATORY APPROVALS Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Individual 404 Permit as required for the above-described activities. We are also hereby requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division of Water Quality.

I recommend permit issuance. The agencies (US Army Corps, NCDWQ, NC Wildlife Resources Commission, and USFWS) have hammered DOT for years on this project. We were able to exact several concessions from NCDOT including: • an extension of the proposed bridge from 148 linear feet to 687 linear feet, • removal of the old crossing that includes restoring the old grade to original contours, and revegetating the area, • use of a temporary work bridge during construction, • clearing with hand tools and no grubbing below new crossing. c:\ncdot\R-2001\permit issue i?a 5m
