Michael J. Smith Field
Project Title
Parallel Taxiway
Provide a brief, but complete description of the proposed project, including all project components,
justification, estimated start date, and duration of the project. Include connected actions necessary to
implement the proposed project (including but not limited to moving NAVAIDs, changing flight
procedures, and designating or developing haul routes, new material or expanded material sources,
staging or disposal areas). Attach a sketch or plan of the proposed project. Photos can also be
helpful.
The project includes construction to complete the parallel taxiway for Runway 8 -26 to increase
airport safety by eliminating the need for aircraft to utilize the runway to taxi back to the terminal
area. This project will not result in an increase in the size of aircraft utilizing the facility or increase
in activity at the Airport. Currently a section of parallel taxiway connects the Runway 8 end to
Runway 14 -32 and a portion connects the Runway 26 end to Taxiway `B ". This project will
complete the parallel taxiway from the intersection of Runway 14 -32, extending to the northeast and
connecting to the parallel taxiway east of the Runway 21 end. The project also includes
rehabilitation of the portion of existing parallel taxiway located between the Runway 8 end and
Runway 14 -32. New Taxiway Edge lights and Signage will be installed as part of the project. No
NAVAIDs will be affected as part of this project. See Figure I at the end of the CATEX document
for plan view of proposed project.
Provide a brief, but complete, description of the proposed project area. Include any unique or natural
features within or surrounding the airport property.
Michael J Smith Field is loctated in Carteret County which is along the east coast of North Carolina.
The airport is bounded to the north and west by Gallant Channel. The proposed parallel taxiway will
be constructed entirely on airport, southeast of Runway 8 -26. The taxiway will be constructed

across a portion of airport property that is currently a grass area that is mowed and maintained by the
Airport. The project area also includes the portion of parallel taxiway located between Runway 8
and Runway 14 -32. Pavement Rehabilitation will be performed on this portion of taxiway which
will not result in any increase in impervious area or significant ground disturbance
Identify the appropriate CATEX paragraph(s) from Order 1050.1E (paragraph 307 -312) or 5050.413
(tables 6 -1 and 6 -2) that apply to the project. Describe if the project differs in any way from the
specific language of the CATEX or examples given as described in the Order.
Paragraph 310e
The circumstances one must consider when documenting a CATEX are listed below along with each
of the impact categories related to the circumstance. Use FAA Environmental Orders 1050.1E,
5050.413, and the Desk Reference for Airports Actions, as well as other guidance documents to assist
you in determining what information needs to be provided about these resource topics to address
potential impacts. Indicate whether or not there would be any effects under the particular resource
topic and, if needed, cite available references to support these conclusions. Additional analyses and
inventories can be attached or cited as needed.
304a. National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) resources
Projects that have the potential to cause effects on historic properties require a Section 106 finding in
order to meet the requirements of the NHPA regardless of the type of NEPA document being
completed. Check with your local Airports Division/District Office to determine if a Section 106
finding is required. Consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer /Tribal Historic
Preservation Officer (SHPO /THPO) may be required, and should be conducted through the FAA.

properties.
304c. Natural, Ecological, or Scenic Resources
This section covers a broad range of categories from farmlands to endangered species to coastal
resources to wild and scenic rivers. Items to consider include:
Coastal Resources
A -3
YES I NO

Effective Date: October 1, 2014
Coastal Resources
ARP SOP No. 5.00
YES NO
Will the project occur in or impact a coastal zone as defined by the State's Coastal ❑X ❑
Zone Management Plan (CZMP)? If yes, discuss the project's consistency with the
State's CZMP. Attach the consistency determination if applicable.
The proposed project is located within Carteret County, which is classified as a Coastal
Zone by the Coastal Zone Management Act. However, the proposed project is not
located in an Area of Environmental Concern (AEC) and will not affect AECs, as
documented in an email from Heather Styron with the NC Division of Coastal
Management, dated 12/3/14, which has been provided in Attachment V.
During coordination with the NC Division of Coastal Management, it was determined
that even though the proposed project is not located within an AEC, it would require
modification of the existing CAMA Major Development Permit for the Michael J
Smith Field. In an email dated 12/16/14, Daniel Govoni, the Federal Consistency
Coordinator for the NC Division of Coastal Management, determined that the
modification of the existing CAMA Major Permit to include the proposed parallel
taxiway project would serve as documentation that the project is consistent with the
Coastal Zone Management Act. Therefore, a Federal Consistency Determination will
not be needed for this project. See Attachment `F' for email from Daniel Govom dated
12/16/14.
Will the project occur in or impact the Coastal Barrier Resource System as defined by ❑ ❑x
the US Fish and Wildlife Service?
The US Fish & Widllife Service's Coastal Barrier Resources Systems Mapper, located at:
http: / /www.fws.gov /cbra /Maps /Mapper.html, was reviewed to determine the
locations of the nearest Coastal Barrier Resources Systems. The review of the Mapper
identified that the nearest Coastal Barrier Resource within the vicinity of the project
area was Fort Macon State Park Unit NC -04P, which is located on the west end of
Atlantic Beach, approximately 2.5 aerial miles south of the proposed project.
Therefore, the proposed project is not located within a Coastal Barrier Resource
System. See Attachment 'B' for Coastal Barrier Resource System Map.

ARP SOP No. 5.00 Effective Date: October 1, 2014
Ecological Resources YES No
Are there any federal or state listed endangered, threatened, or candidate species or ❑ ❑X
designated critical habitat in or near the project area? This includes species protected
by individual statute, such as the Bald Eagle.
Withers & Ravenel completed the survey for federally and state listed threatened and
endangered species for the proposed project area. W &R reviewed the NC Natural
Heritage Program GIS data for known occurrences of listed threatened and
endangered species to identify if there were any documented occurrences of
protected species known to occur within Carteret County on or near the proposed
project. The review of the NHP GIS data did not identify any recent occcurrences of
threatened or endangered species or critical habitat within the proposed project area.
The project area consists entirely of regularly maintained lawn grasses within the
infield of the airfield. The pedestrian survey did not identify an occurrences of federal
or state listed species or potential habitat within or immediately adjacent to the
project area. The only potential habitat for listed species was found within the coastal
marsh, located approximately 500 If north and 250 If southwest of the project area.
The coastal marsh was considered potentially suitable habitat for the American
Alligator (Alligator mississipiensis), piping plover (Charadrius melodus) and roseate
tern (sterna dougallii dougallii). However, the proposed project will not result in any
disturbance to the potential habitat within the offsite coastal marsh beyond normal
activities associated with the airfield. Therefore, based on a lack of nearby records,
and lack of potential habitat within the project area, Withers & Ravenel have
determined that the proposed project will have "No Effect" on federal or state listed
threatened and endangered species. The Withers & Ravenel Threatened and
Endangered Species report has been provided in Attachment V. This report was
submitted to the US Fish and Wildlife Service and a concurrence letter was received
and has also been provided in Attachment V.

Ecological Resources
ARP SOP No. 5.00
YES NO
Does the project affect or have the potential to affect, directly or indirectly, any ❑ ❑X
federal or state - listed, threatened, endangered or candidate species, or designated
habitat? If yes, consultation between the FAA and the US Fish & Wildlife Service,
National Marine Fisheries Service, and /or the appropriate state agency will be
necessary. Provide a description of the impacts and how impacts will be avoided,
minimized, or mitigated.
The proposed project will not affect, directly or indirectly, any federal or state listed
threatened, endangered or candidate species or designated habitat as discussed in
the previous section. The proposed impacts will occur to maintained grass areas and
small, herbaceous wetlands within the project which have been historically altered by
grading and regular mowing of vegetation. The historic alteration has resulted in
these wetlands having extremely low functional value. Due to the nature of the
project, impacts to these features could not be avoided. As required by the US Army
Corps of Engineers, impacts to these wetlands will be mitigated through the purchase
of offsite mitigation credits in mitigation banks located in excess of 5.0 miles from the
Airport Operations Areas (AOA).
Does the project have the potential to take birds protected by the Migratory Bird ❑ ❑X
Treaty Act? Describe steps to avoid, minimize or mitigation impacts (such as timing
windows determined in consultation with the USFWS).
The proposed project is located entirely within the airfield infield, and will not result in
a "taking" of birds protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Does the project area contain resources protected by the Fish and Wildlife ❑ ❑X
Coordination Act? If yes, describe any impacts and steps taken to avoid, minimize or
mitigate impacts.
The are no resources protected by the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act within the
project area.
Does the project have the potential to impact fish habitat protected under the ❑ ❑X
Magnuson- Stevens Act? If yes, after notifying the FAA and the airport sponsor will
take the necessary consultation action. Actions may include preparing an Essential
Fish Habitat assessment and consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service.
Describe any adverse impacts, and any conservation measures needed to avoid such
impacts.
There is no fish habitat within the project area.

YES NO
Will the project be located in, encroach upon or otherwise impact a floodplain? If yes, ❑X ❑
describe impacts and any agency coordination or public review completed including
coordination with the local floodplain administrator. Attach the FEMA map if
applicable and any documentation.
The project is located within the 100 year floodplain (See Attachment 'A'). However
because the 100 year floodplain is so large and influenced not only by rainfall, but also
by winds and tide, the small increase in impervious surface with the proposed project
will not increase the level of the floodplain to thresholds described in FAA Order 5050 -
4A.
Wetlands and Other Waters of the U.S. YES NO
Are there any wetlands or other waters of the U.S. in or near the project area? © ❑
The proposed project area contains three wetland areas, and there is coastal marsh
located approximately 500 If north and 250 If southwest of the project area.
Has wetland delineation been completed within the proposed project area? If yes, ❑X ❑
please provide U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) correspondence and
jurisdictional determination.
The wetland delineation was completed by Withers and Ravenel. Christy Folta with
the Corps of Engineers approved the wetland delineation during a site review on
11/5/14, as is documented in the formal Jurisdictional Determination (AID #SAW -
2014- 01859), which has been provided as an Appendix E.

YES NO
If a delineation was not completed, was a field check done to confirm the
presence /absence of wetlands or other waters of the U.S.? If no to both, please
explain what methods were used to determine the presence /absence of wetlands.
If yes, will the project result in impacts, directly or indirectly (including tree clearing)?
Describe any steps taken to avoid, minimize or mitigate the impact.
The proposed project will result in ±0.66 acres of wetland impact as a result of the
removal of wetlands for construction of the proposed project. Due to the linear
nature of the proposed project, impacts to these wetlands could not be avoided or
minimized. As required by the Corps of Engineers during the General Permit 291
approval process, mitigation will be required for the proposed wetland impacts.
Is a USACE Clean Water Act Section 404 permit required? If yes, does the project fall
within the parameters of a general permit? If so, which general permit?
The proposed project will require an General Permit 291 from the Corps of Engineers

Parallel Taxiway
Request for SHPO Review
TBI No. 2112 -1402
Ms. Glenhill- Earley:
This letter is a request for a review of the project site at the Michael J. Smith Field as depicted in
the attached Figure 1. The site is located adjacent to Runway 5 -26 and within Airport property.
We are requesting a review by your office for known occurrences of archeological, cultural, and
historical resources within or in the vicinity of the project site.
The project site consists of developed and/or maintained airport land. There are no structures
within the project site.
Talbert & Bright reviewed the SHPO's online GIS Mapping Application. The review did not
identify any registered historic properties within the subject property and project area.
The proposed project includes construction to complete the parallel taxiway for Runway $ -26 to
increase airport safety by eliminating the need for aircraft to utilize the runway to taxi back to the
terminal area. This project will not result in an increase in the size of aircraft utilizing the
facility or an increase in activity at the Airport.
Currently a section of parallel taxiway connects the Runway S end to Runway 14 -32 and a
portion coruiects the Runway 26 end to Taxiway "B ". This project will complete the parallel
taxiway from the intersection of Runway 14 -32, extending to the northeast and comiecting to the
parallel taxiway east of the Runway 21 end. The project also includes rehabilitation of the
portion of existing parallel taxiway located between the Runway S end and Runway 14 -32.
I have provided a USGS Quadrangle Map with the boundary of the airport property and the
project site identified.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or require additional information to complete your
review.

Re: Parallel Taxiway at Michael J. Smith Air Field- Carteret County, NC
Dear Mr. Beasley:
This letter is to inform you that a list of all federally - protected endangered and threatened species
with kriown occurrences in North Carolina is now available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service's (Service) web page at http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh. 'Therefore, if you have projects that
occur within the Raleigh Field Office's area of responsibility (see attached county list), you no
longer need to contact the Raleigh Field Office for a list of federally- protected species.
Our web page contains a complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and threatened
species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), and a list of federal species of concern that are known to occur in
each county in North Carolina.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non- federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally- listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally - protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes.
I The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of
concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation does
not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be propused for listing as a federally endangered or threatened
species. However, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to
federal species of concern.

If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally - listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally - protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
With regard to the above - referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are
submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed
action is not likely to adversely affect any federally- listed endangered or threatened species, their
formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at
these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for
your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be
reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species
is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have
on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we
recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species,
including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control
measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by
the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction.
Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction
site and any nearby down- gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining
natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a
copy can be found on our website at (http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh) to address and mitigate
secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality.
We recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in
completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary).

We hope you find our well page useful and informative and that following the process described
above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for
species' lists. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis of'this office at
(919) 856 -4520 ext. 26.
Sincerely,

RE: Michael J. Smith Field (MRH) — Beaufort, Carteret County
Threatened and Endangered Species Survey for Parallel Taxiway Project
Mr. Massey;
This document reports the results of surveys conducted for federally listed Threatened (T) and Endangered (E)
species that could potentially occur at the Michael J. Smith Field, located at 180 Airport Road in Beaufort, Carteret
County, North Carolina (Latitude: 34.734074 °N; - 76.659692 °W) . The survey was specific to the Parallel Taxiway
project area (Project), located immediately south of Runway 26 and east of Runway 14, as depicted in the attached
exhibits.
PROPOSED ACTIVITIES
The proposed activities consist of the construction of a parallel taxiway for Runway 8 -26.
METHODOLOGY
Prior to conducting the site visit, W &R reviewed US Fish and Wildlife Service's online endangered species
database, located at:
httr): / /www.fws.Qov /ralei2h/ species /cntvlist/nc counties.html, and the NC Wildlife Resource Commission's "State
and Federally Listed Endangered Wildlife Species of North Carolina" publication, located at www.ncwildlife.ore. to
identify federal and state listed threatened and endangered species known to occur in Carteret County, North
Carolina. The NC Natural Heritage Program's online database, located at: htti)://www.ncnhp.ore/web/nhp/database-
search, was reviewed to identify listed known occurrences of protected species within the Beaufort Quadrangle Map.
The review of the NCNHP database identified known occurrences of six federally listed species within the Beaufort
Quadrangle as identified in the Species Synopsis and Survey Results section of this report. W &R also contacted Mr.
John Finnegan with the NC Natural Heritage Program ( NCNHP) to obtain NCNHP GIS data for all known
occurrences of threatened and endangered species within 1.0 miles of the Project. The review of the NCNHP GIS
data identified that the only known occurrences of federally listed threatened or endangered species within 1.0 miles
of the Project consisted of the West Indian Manatee, which is a marine species.
On September 25, 2014, W &R conducted a pedestrian survey of the Project to map vegetative communities and
identify potential habitat for federally protected species known to occur in Carteret County. An additional
pedestrian transect was also conducted along the eastern edge of the coastal marsh to the north of the Project.
The Project area consisted entirely of maintained/mowed grass with a vegetative composition of centipede grass
(Eremochloa ophiuroides), Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), starrush whitetop (Rhynchospora colorata) and
pennywort (Hydrocotyle umbellate), as well as various other weeds.
SPECIES SYNOPSIS AND SURVEY RESULTS
Plants and animals classified as Endangered (E) or Threatened (T) by the USFWS are protected under the provisions
of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The following table presents
federally listed species by the USFWS for Carteret County, North Carolina as of January 24, 2014. Please note only

American Alligator
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: year round (only warm days in winter)
The American alligator is a large, semi- aquatic, armored reptile that ranges in size from 6 to 14 feet long. Alligators
live in swampy areas, rivers, streams, lakes and ponds.
The review area did not contain habitat for the American alligator. A review of the NCNHP GIS data did not
identify any known occurrences of American alligator within 1.0 miles of the review area. The Project area consists
entirely of mowed/maintained grasses, and there are no open water areas within the Project. The coastal marsh
associated with Gable Creek and the Newport River, located 500+ if to the north, was considered potential habitat
for the American alligator. During the pedestrian survey, W &R reviewed the eastern edge of the coastal marsh and
did not observe any signs of the presence of an American alligator (i.e. tracks, trails, etc), and no individuals were
observed during the survey. A review of the NCNHP GIS data did not identify any known occurrences of the
American alligator. Furthermore, there have been no sightings of American alligators within the airport property.
The proposed activities within the Project will not result in any disturbance to the potential habitat within the
adjacent coastal marsh beyond normal activities associated with the air field. Therefore, based on a lack of nearby
records, and lack of habitat within the Project, W &R concludes that the Project will have No Effect on the American
alligator.
Biological Conclusion — No Effect
Piping Plover
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: None Specified
The piping plover is a small, stocky shorebird resembling a sandpiper. A black band across the forehead over the
eye, and a black ring around the base of the neck are distinguishing marks in adults during the summer, but are
obscure during the winter. Piping plovers nest along the sandy beaches of the Atlantic Coast, the gravelly shorelines
of the Great Lakes, and on river sandbars and alkali wetlands throughout the Great Plains region. They prefer to nest
in sparsely vegetated areas that are slightly raised in elevation (like a beach berm). Piping plover breeding territories
generally include a feeding area; such as a dune pond or slough, or near the lakeshore or ocean edge. These birds are
primarily coastal during the winter, preferring areas with expansive sand or mudflats (feeding) in close proximity to
a sandy beach (roosting).
There was no potential piping plover habit within the project area. The coastal marsh associated with Gable Creek
and the Newport River, located 500+ if to the north, was considered potential habitat for the piping plover.
However, a review of the eastern edge of the coastal marsh during the pedestrian survey did not identify any piping
plovers. A review of NCNHP GIS data did not identify any know occurrences of piping plovers within 1.0 miles of
the Project. The proposed activities within the Project will not result in any disturbance to the potential habitat
within the adjacent coastal marsh beyond normal activities associated with the air field. Therefore, based on a lack

of nearby records, and lack of habitat within the Project, W &R concludes that the Project will have No Effect on the
piping plover.
Biological Conclusion — No Effect
Red - Cockaded Woodpecker
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: year round; November — early March (optimal)
The red - cockaded woodpecker (RCW) occurs in extensive tracts of open stands of mature pines, particularly
longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), for foraging and nesting /roosting habitat, typically 70 to 100 acres or more. The red -
cockaded woodpecker is rarely found in deciduous or mixed pine- hardwoods. The RCW excavates cavities for
nesting and roosting in living pine trees, aged 60 years or older, which are contiguous with pine stands at least 30
years of age to provide foraging habitat. Optimal habitat is characterized as a broad savanna with a scattered
overstory of large pines and a dense groundcover containing a diversity of grass, forbs, and shrub species. Midstory
vegetation is sparse or absent. Frequent fires maintain the quality of the RCW's habitat. The foraging range of the
RCW is normally no more than 0.5 miles.
The proposed Project area consists of mowed/maintained grass within an active air field. The entire area within the
Michael J Smith Field has been historically cleared, and there are no stands of pine trees within the property.
Therefore, there is no potential RCW nesting habitat within the air field. A review of aerial photography identified
that there are no contiguous pine- dominated areas within 0.5 miles of the Project of sufficient size to serve as
suitable RCW habitat. Therefore, it was determined that the Project does not contain potential RCW foraging
habitat for offsite colonies. A review of the NCNHP GIS data did not identify any known historic or recent
occurrences of the RCW within 1.0 miles of the Project. Therefore, based on a lack on suitable habitat and lack of
nearby records, W &R concludes that the Project will have No Effect on RCWs.
Biological Conclusion —No Effect
Roseate Tern
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: June - August
The roseate tern is about 40 centimeters in length, with light -gray wings and back. Its first three or four primaries
are black and so is its cap. The rest of the body is white, with a rosy tinge on the chest and belly during the breeding
season. The tail is deeply forked, and the outermost streamers extend beyond the folded wings when perched. In
North Carolina, the roseate tern is most likely to be seen on a barrier island as it passes through the area to and from
northern breeding grounds. March through May and August through October are the most likely times to see these
birds. Although sight records of this species exist for June, July, and August, these are likely non - breeding males.
Only one nesting record for this species has been documented for the state within the past twenty years. However, if
this species expands its range it is likely to choose coastal areas of the state for nesting. The roseate tern nests on
isolated, less disturbed coastal islands in areas characterized by sandy, rocky, or clayey substrates with either sparse
or thick vegetation. Eggs are usually laid such that grasses or overhanging objects provide shelter. They may also
nest in marshes, but it is an uncommon occurrence.
There is no roseate tern nesting habitat within the Project. The coastal marsh associated with Gable Creek and the
Newport River, located 500+ if to the north, was considered potential habitat for the roseate tern. However, a
review of the eastern edge of the coastal marsh during the pedestrian survey did not identify any individuals. A
review of NCNHP GIS data did not identify any know occurrences of roseate terns within 1.0 miles of the Project.
The proposed activities within the Project will not result in any disturbance to the potential habitat within the
adjacent coastal marsh beyond normal activities associated with the air field. Therefore, based on a lack of nearby
records, and lack of habitat within the Project, W &R concludes that the Project will have No Effect on the roseate
tern.
Biological Conclusion —No Effect

Rough - leaved Loosestrife
USFWS Recommended Survey Window: mid -May - June
This plant is an erect, rhizomatous, late spring- to early summer- flowering perennial herb which grows to 6 dm tall.
Its leaves are mostly 3- whorled, lanceolate to ovate - lanceolate, sessile, and 2 -4 cm long. There are usually three
conspicuous veins on each leaf. The inflorescence is terminal with 5- petaled, showy, yellow flowers. The fruit is an
ovoid or subglobose capsule, 3 -4.5 mm in diameter, with several somewhat winged seeds. Rough -leaf loosestrife
occurs most often in ecotones between longleaf pine uplands and pond pine pocosins in moist, sandy or peaty soils
with low vegetation that allows for abundant sunlight to the herb layer. Fire is primarily responsible for maintaining
low vegetation in these ecotones.
The pedestrian survey did not identify any potentially suitable habitat for rough - leaved loosestrife. A review of the
NCNHP GIS data did not identify any known occurrences within 1.0 miles of the Project. Therefore, based on a
lack of nearby records and lack of onsite habitat, W &R concludes that the proposed activity will have No Effect on
rough - leaved loosestrife.
Biological Conclusion — No Effect
CONCLUSION
Results of the survey for federally listed threatened and endangered species for the Parallel Taxiway Project area at
the Michael J Smith Field in Beaufort, Carteret County, North Carolina, were negative. Based on these findings and
our professional judgment, consultation under the Endangered Species Act is not required as the project will have
"No Effect" on federally listed threatened or endangered species.

To: John Massey
Subject: FW: Michael J Smith Airport - Beaufort, Carteret County - Wetland Impact Permitting
John,
Below is the response from the Corps of Engineers. It seems that we can use a General Permit 291 for the ±0.62 acres of
wetland impacts for the parallel taxiway project instead of an Individual Permit. The GP291 will be issued in conjunction
with the CAMA Major Permit Modification.
The GP291 is not much different than a Nationwide Permit, and will not require an Environmental Assessment or Public
Notice that would have been required for the Individual Permit.
FYI - Christy Wicker is no longer the Corps representative for Carteret County. Josh Mitchell will not be overseeing
Carteret County, and would be the contact person if Jennifer Fuller wants to discuss the project with the Corps.
Let me know if there are any questions.

Troy,
I have been given the go ahead to let you proceed under the provisions of GP291. Depending on how CAMA chooses to
process the permit (minor mod or major mod) it may need to go through a full Tier 3 review process, but from what I
have been told, it sounds like Tier 2 is more likely.
Please reply or call if you have any more questions.

Hello Troy,
After discussing this with others, a modification of the permit will suffice. A Federal Consistency determination will not
be needed. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks - Daniel

Subject: Michael J Smith Field - Parallel Taxiway Project - Beaufort, Carteret County - Question Regarding CAMA Federal
Consistency Certification
Gentlemen,
I am working on the Parallel Taxiway project at the Michael J Smith Air Field (airport) which will involve wetland impacts
exceeding 0.5 acres requiring an Individual Permit from the Corps. The current project is not located within the 75' AEC,
which has been confirmed by Heather Styron.
There is an existing, valid CAMA Major Permit for a runway extension that was permitted in 2011. Through coordination
with Heather Styron, we will be requesting a modification to the existing CAMA Major Permit to include the proposed
work.
Normally, I would submit a CAMA Federal Consistency Certification for your review and concurrence. However, since we
will be modifying the existing CAMA Major Permit to include the work, wouldn't the issuance of the CAMA Major Permit
Modification be documentation that the project is concurrent with the Coastal Zone Management Act, and therefore
serve the same purpose as the CAMA Federal Consistency Certification? I believe that it would, and that the submittal
of the CAMA Federal Consistency Certification would be redundant. However, I need confirmation from you on whether
or not we need to submit a CAMA Federal Consistency Certification for concurrence, as well as get a modification to the
CAMA Major Permit.

Also, if we do have to submit a CAMA Federal Consistency Certification, I have a question regarding whether this will be
a federal or non - federal project. The project is being funded by State money, but could potentially get some FAA
reimbursement. So do I go with federal project just to be safe?
Thanks for your help. Please let me know what you decide as soon as you can, because if I need to submit a CAMA
Federal Consistency Certification, I need to get it submitted this week.

Request for Concurrence that Project Area Is Not Located In 75' AEC
Hey Troy,
I have reviewed the project and agree that this is outside of the CAMA 75' AEC. I am also familiar with this area due to a
previous major permit. Please let me know if you need anything else.
Best Regards,
Heather

Subject: Michael J Smith Field - Parallel Taxiway Project - Beaufort, Carteret County - Request for Concurrence that
Project Area Is Not Located In 75' AEC
Good afternoon Heather. I am working on the Parallel Taxiway Project at the Michael 1 Smith Air Field in Beaufort,
which is adjacent to the Newport River and Gable Creek. As part of this project, we will be completing a Documented
Categorical Exclusion (CATEX) and a CAMA Federal Consistency Certification. In both of those documents, we have to
address whether or not the project is located within an AEC. Therefore, I am corresponding with you for documentation
that the project area is located outside of all AEC's.
I have attached an exhibit depicting the limits of the NHW line, which I located using a Trimble submeter GPS unit on
9/29/14 based on biological indicators, most specifically the break between the black needle rush and spartina. The
attached exhibit also shows the approximate limits of the 75' AEC based on the GPS location of the NHW line. Please
note that the area of NWH located southwest of the project area is discontinuous, and I don't believe that it would
actually be subject to the 75' AEC. However, I am showing it for reference purposes only to document that the project
area is outside of any potential AEC.
Below is a Google Maps link to the project site so that you can review a higher resolution aerial at a smaller scale:
https: / /maps.google.com/ maps ?ci= Michael +J+ Smith,+ Beaufort , +NC &hl= en &11= 34.73269,-

79. 859619 &sspn =7. 429325,9. 876709 &ocl= michael +i +smith + &t= h &z =16 &iwloc =A
I am hoping that you can confirm that the proposed project is not located within the 75' AEC based on the attached
exhibit and online aerial review. If you need to conduct a site visit, please let me know when your earliest availability is
and I will meet you there to review.
If you do not need to make a site visit, could you please confirm that the project area is located outside of any AEC's by
responding to this email so that we have written documentation.
Thanks for your help and please let me know if you have any questions.
