R-2514 B & C: Projects to use mitigation in an adjacent HUC
R-2514 B
Onslow and Jones County
Southern Outer Coastal Plain Ecoregion
HUC 03020106 (White Oak 06)
9.6 acres total wetland impacts
6.3 acres riparian wetland impacts
3.3 acres non-riparian wetland impacts
December 2015 Let
R-2514 C
Jones County
Southern Outer Coastal Plain Ecoregion
HUCs 03020106 (White Oak 06) and 03020204 (Neuse 04)
20.88 acres total wetland impacts
3.3 acres non-riparian wetland impacts
June 2015 Let
Croatan Wetland Mitigation Bank (CWMB)
Craven County
Neuse 04
4,000 acre stream and wetland mitigation site
High quality
Bounded by the Croatan National Forest
2,462.27 total wetland credits
2,118.51 total non-riparian credits
34,689.88 total stream credits
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) has a deficit of non-riparian wetland mitigation of 14.32
acres for White Oak 06, the HUC where most of the project is located.
NCDOT is seeking to use non-riparian wetland credits from the CWMB for non-riparian wetland
impacts associated with R-2514 B & C.
Justification for use of CWMB for R-2514 B & C include:
The site is constructed and successfully closed out
It is a large high-quality mitigation site
40 % of R-2514 C is within Neuse 04
CWMB has hydraulic connectivity with R-2514 B & C
Thirteen miles separate the projects and the mitigation site
Within the same ecoregion
