Anderson, dm nt Region Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: May 1, 1996 SUBJECT: 401 Water Quality Certification for Clifton Ray Moore to Discharge Fill into Wetlands of the Neuse River, Johnston County, Neuse River Basin, 199602100 Staff biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the subject application for 401 Water Quality Certification with respect to anticipated project impacts on aquatic habitats. Our comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (Stet. 401, as amended; 1611S.C. 661 et. seq.), and Section 401(b) of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), and North Carolina General Statutos (G,S. 113-131 ct seq.). The proposed project involves the filling of 1.3 acres of jurisdictional wetlands aciincent to the Neuse River in Smithfield for a commercial development. The entire tract totals approximately 25.09 acres, which is mostly jurisdictional wetlands. The applicant has offered to preserve 20 acres of wetlands and several acres of non jurisdictional land in the riparian area. This would provide u mitigation ratio of approximately 13:1. The mitigation will be donated to a land trust. While we agree that the mitigation ratio is acceptable, we are concerned about the secondary impacts of stor nwatcr runoff from this development. To further minimize impacts to water quality and aquatic resources in the Neuse River, we request that the following conditions be incorporated into this permit: 1. Place decd restrictions on the conservation casement to prevent any future wetland destruction, Timber harvest should be prohibited except for management activitie4 that would improve the diversity of high-quality-mast producing species (i.e. oaks, hickories, black gum or holly). 2. Place deed restrictions on all wetlands retained by the applicant to prevent any further destruction by the current or future owners.

It does not appear that the project can be redesigned to narrow the depth of fill and lengthen the width along Highway 70 (see attached letter from project engineer). 3. The owner has no objection to partially (i.e. ± 1 foot) blocking the ditch near its intersection with the Neuse River so that drainage from the wetland is reduced but stormwater from the Neuse is not impeded.

This pond would drain into the existing wetland area. I have also reviewed the possibility of reconfiguring the site plan to use all the frontage of the property and reduce the depth of the development. The zoning required for this developmer,, is B-3 business and it requires a 50 foot setback. If we reconfigured the site we would need to move the storage units from behind the offices to Lhe area fronting on US 70. 1 have discussed this with Bob Grant the plannier for the Town of Smithfield and he stated the he is in favor of the storage units staying in the rear of the offices and the frontage area that is riotL being developed remain natural.

The project, owned by Mr. Clifton Ray Moore, is located near Smithfield, NC (Johnston County). The site is shown on the enclosed Selma N.C., USGS Topo Quad vicinity map. It will be necessary to impact 1.5 acres (see attached Site Development Plan) of jurisdictional wetlands below headwaters for the placement of the proposed facility. The tract, totaling 25.09 acres, is almost entirely jurisdictional wetlands (see attached Wetland Sketch Map); all wetlands on-site are below headwaters. The enclosed wetland map illustrates the extent of wetlands on the site. Proposed fill activities would occur adjacent to Hwy. 70. Stormwater from the project will be diverted into the wetland behind the facility so that it must filter through the wetland prior to reaching the Neuse River. Construction of a stormwater pond would require additional wetland impacts. The landowner will maintain 3.8 acres of the tract adjacent to Hwy. 70 (as shown on the Site Development Plan). The remainder of the property will be donated to a non-profit or governmental land trust for preservation. Uplands adjacent to the Neuse River will be included within the donation to the land trust (See Site Photo 1). Fill activities will allow for the development of 8% of the entire tract. The proportionately small fill area allows for a reasonable use of this commercial property. Construction of the facility maximizes the use of existing uplands and minimizes impacts to high quality wetlands. Wetlands within the donation area are freshwater marsh and bottomland hardwood forests (See Site Photo 2). Wetlands impacted by the current site plan are cut-over bottomland hardwoods Soil/Site Evaluation ¦ Mapping and Physical Analysis ¦ Wetlands Mapping and Mitigation ¦ Environmental Audits On-Site Waste Treatment Systems, Evaluation and Design comprised mostly of red maple, sweetgum and tulip poplar saplings (See Site Photos 3 and 4). The proposed site plan and preservation plan are reasonable; the landowner is able to utilize his property and 20 acres of high quality wetlands are preserved. The current plan will result in a preservation to impact ratio of 13.3 to 1. Similar projects have received individual permits from the Corps and Water Quality Certification from DEM in the recent past. We previously met on-site with Ron Ferrel of DEM and Jean Manuele of the Corps to discuss the project. Please call if you have questions or if you require further information. If you intend to perform an additional site visit please call and we will arrange for someone to accompany you.

Mi [3 IX I/ ; DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers Post Office Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 Action ID. 199602100 April 4, 1996 MR. CLIFTON RAY MOORE, 424 Bennett Drive, Selma, North Carolina 27576, has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO DISCHARGE FILL MATERIAL INTO 1.5 ACRES OF JURISDICTIONAL WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES ADJACENT TO THE NEUSE RIVER TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN OFFICE/STORAGE FACILITY, LOCATED IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF U.S. 70 BUSINESS, in Smithfield, Johnston County, North Carolina. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during a site visit by a representative of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show that approximately 2,420 cubic yards of unacceptable material will be excavated to make the site suitable for backfilling. Subsequently, 12,100 cubic yards will be discharged into 1.5 acres of wetlands adjacent to the Neuse River for the proposed construction of 10-860 square foot office units, 54-100 square foot storage units, and associated parking (54 spaces). The wetlands to be impacted can be characterized as a cutover bottomland hardwood forest dominated by red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) and river birch (Betula nigra) saplings, presently undergoing secondary succession. The immediate area can be characterized as an upper coastal plain riverine system which has experienced extensive filling for commercial development over the past approximately 20 years in areas immediately adjacent to the road. The soils within the area of the proposed filling activities are mapped by the Johnston County Soil Survey as Chewacla loam (deep, somewhat poorly drained) and Wehadkee loam (poorly drained). Both soil types experience frequent flooding for brief to long durations from November through April and there is evidence present to suggest that beavers are currently active on the property. Uplands present on the project tract consist of 2.15 acres of previously filled area on the northwest property boundary (to be utilized during construction), and the vegetated bank along the river on the northeast property boundary (to be donated in a Conservation Easement). The applicant proposes to mitigate the jurisdictional impacts through the preservation of 20 acres of the property, south of the proposed commercial development, to be donated to a non-profit or governmental land trust. This area contains approximately 5.5 acres of uplands along the river bank dominated by sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple (Acer rubrum), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) and green ash (Fraxinus pennsyvanica) in the upper and mid canopies. The herbaceous layer is vegetated by blackberry (Rubus sp.), greenbrier (Smilax sp.), and honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). The soils along the ridge are mapped as Chewacla. The remaining 14.5 acres can be characterized as a freshwater marsh located within a Wehadkee soil series, vegetated by small trees and saplings of red maple (Acer rubrum) and black willow (Salix nigra). The herbaceous species present include cattails (Typha latifolia), soft needle rush (Juncus effusus), white arum (Peltandra sagittaefolia) and sedges (Scirpus spp.). The wetland area presently exhibits beaver activity with wetland hydrology evidenced by the presence of 0-8 inches of inundation, saturation, water marks, sediment deposits, oxidized root channels in the upper 12 inches, the FAC-Neutral vegetative community test and water-stained leaves. 2 The purpose of the work is to construct office and storage units for leasing. 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. 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 site 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 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 Corps 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 prcparation 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 serves as application to the NCDEM 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 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. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the lication for Clean Water Act certification should do so in writing delive t the North Office Box 27687, Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), ?77) Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before Apri 1996, Attention: Mr. John Dorney. Writte n comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Mrs. Jean B.

The project, owned by Mr. Clifton Ray Moore, is located near Smithfield, NC (Johnston County). The site is shown on the enclosed Selma N.C., USGS Topo Quad vicinity map. It will be necessary to impact 1.5 acres (see attached Site Development Plan) of jurisdictional wetlands below headwaters for the placement of the proposed facility. The tract, totaling 25.09 acres, is almost entirely jurisdictional wetlands (see attached Wetland Sketch Map); all wetlands on-site are below headwaters. The enclosed wetland map illustrates the extent of wetlands on the site. Proposed fill activities would occur adjacent to Hwy. 70. Stormwater from the project will be diverted into the wetland behind the facility so that it must filter through the wetland prior to reaching the Neuse River. Construction of a stormwater pond would require additional wetland impacts. The landowner will maintain 3.8 acres of the tract adjacent to Hwy. 70 (as shown on the Site Development Plan). The remainder of the property will be donated to a non-profit or governmental land trust for preservation. Uplands adjacent to the Neuse River will be included within the donation to the land trust (See Site Photo 1). Fill activities will allow for the development of 8% of the entire tract. The proportionately small fill area allows for a reasonable use of this commercial property. Construction of the facility maximizes the use of existing uplands and minimizes impacts to high quality wetlands. Wetlands within the donation area are freshwater marsh and bottomland hardwood forests (See Site Photo 2). Wetlands impacted by the current site plan are cut-over bottomland hardwoods Soil & Environmental Consultants, Inc.

The proposed site plan and preservation plan are reasonable; the landowner is able to utilize his property and 20 acres of high quality wetlands are preserved. The current plan will result in a preservation to impact ratio of 13.3 to 1. Similar projects have received individual permits from the Corps and Water Quality Certification from DEM in the recent past. We previously met on-site with Ron Ferrel of DEM and Jean Manuele of the Corps to discuss the project. Please call if you have questions or if you require further information.

CLIFTON RAY MOORE, 424 Bennett Drive, Selma, North Carolina 27576, has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO DISCHARGE FILL MATERIAL INTO 1.5 ACRES OF JURISDICTIONAL WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES ADJACENT TO THE NEUSE RIVER TO ALLOW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN OFFICE/STORAGE FACILITY, LOCATED IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF U.S. 70 BUSINESS, in Smithfield, Johnston County, North Carolina. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during a site visit by a representative of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show that approximately 2,420 cubic yards of unacceptable material will be excavated to make the site suitable for backfilling. Subsequently, 12,100 cubic yards will be discharged into 1.5 acres of wetlands adjacent to the Neuse River for the proposed construction of 10-860 square foot office units, 54-100 square foot storage units, and associated parking (54 spaces). The wetlands to be impacted can be characterized as a cutover bottomland hardwood forest dominated by red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) and river birch (Betula nigra) saplings, presently undergoing secondary succession. The immediate area can be characterized as an upper coastal plain riverine system which has experienced extensive filling for commercial development over the past approximately 20 years in areas immediately adjacent to the road. The soils within the area of the proposed filling activities are mapped by the Johnston County Soil Survey as Chewacla loam (deep, somewhat poorly drained) and Wehadkee loam (poorly drained). Both soil types experience frequent flooding for brief to long durations from November through April and there is evidence present to suggest that hPa.vers are currently active on the property. Uplands present on the project tract consist of 2.15 acres of previously filled area on the northwest property boundary (to be utilized during construction), and the vegetated bank along the river on the northeast property boundary (to be donated in a Conservation Easement). The applicant proposes to mitigate the jurisdictional impacts through the preservation of 20 acres of the property, south of the proposed commercial development, to be donated to a non-profit or governmental land trust. This area contains approximately 5.5 acres of uplands along the river bank dominated by sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple (Acer rubrum), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) and green ash (Fraxinus pennsyvanica) in the upper and mid canopies. The herbaceous layer is vegetated by blackberry (Rubus sp.), greenbrier (Smilax sp.), and honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). The soils along the ridge are mapped as Chewacla. The remaining 14.5 acres can be characterized as a freshwater marsh located within a Wehadkee soil series, vegetated by small trees and saplings of red maple (Acer rubrum) and black willow (Salix nigra). The herbaceous species present include cattails (Typha latifolia), soft needle rush (Juncus effusus), white arum (Peltandra sagittaefolia) and sedges (Scirpus spp.). The wetland area presently exhibits beaver activity with wetland hydrology evidenced by the presence of 0-8 inches of inundation, saturation, water marks, sediment deposits, oxidized root channels in the upper 12 inches, the FAC-Neutral vegetative community test and water-stained leaves. 2 The purpose of the work is to construct office and storage units for leasing. 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. 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 site 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 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. 3 The Corps 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 Ac: (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 serves as application to the NCDEM 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 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. 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 April 26, 1996, Attention: Mr. John Dorney. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Mrs. Jean B. Manuele, until 4:15 p.m., May 3, 1996, or telephone (919) 876-8441, Extension 24.

Howes, Secretary pEHN R Roger N. Schecter, Director July 17, 1996 Dr. G. Wayne Wright Corps of Engineers P. O. Box 1890 Wilmington, NC 28402 Dear Sir: In keeping with your request this office has circulated to interested state review agencies U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Public Notice and Action ID. 199602100 dated April 4, 1996 which describes a project proposal by Clifton Ray Moore of Selma to fill 1.5 acres of wetlands adjacent the Neuse River at Smithfield to facilitate development of an office and storage complex. Based on a coordinate agency review, which was complete on July 10, the state will not object to the proposal considering the relatively generous mitigation proposal which apparently includes 20 acres of wetland and riverine upland. The following agencies submitted substantive comments: Division of Land Resources - reported that a detailed sedimentation and erosion control plan is required. Temporary sediment control must be provided from the perimeter of the proposed fill area, and timely stabilization of the site must be addressed. It is requested the applicant be made aware of this requirement; Division of Environmental Management - issued the required Section 401 Water Quality Certification on May 23, 1996. Certification No. 3067 provides important environmental safeguards and mitigation provisions; Division of Highways - reports that any work in the Hwy. 70 right-of-way must be coordinated with their Goldsboro District Office; P.O. Box 27687, NvAWf4 FAX 919-733-1495 Raleigh, North Carolina 2761 1-7687 C An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Voice 919-733-2293 50% recycled/ 10% post-consumer paper Dr. G. Wayne Wright Page 2 July 17, 1996 Wildlife Resources Commission - provides the following recommendations which are restated here for the record. A copy of the WRC memo was submitted early to your Raleigh office. 1. Place deed restrictions on the conservation easement to prevent any future wetland destruction. Timber harvest should be prohibited, except for mana- gement activities that would improve the diversity of high-quality-mast pro- ducing species (i.e., oaks, hickories, black gum or holly). 2. Place deed restrictions on all wetlands retained by the applicant to prevent any further destruction by the current or future owners. Require the installation of a stormwater detention basin to trap sediments and pollutants prior to discharging to the adjacent wetland area. The dis- charge point should be designed to prevent erosion or scouring of wetland areas and to enhance and maintain the hydrology of the applicant's adjacent wetland area. 4. Before filling the subject 1.5 acres of wetland, require the applicant to con- vey the mitigation lands to a land trust or conservation organization for pro- tection in perpetuity as a natural area. 5. All fill should be sloped and stabilized with vegetation in such a manner as to prevent erosion of the fill into the adjacent wetland area. Should you require additional input from the state on this matter, do not hesitate to contact this office or the commenting agencies. Very sincerely, John .
