Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Coastal Management 151-B Highway 24 Hestron Plaza II Morehead City, NC 28557 Attention: Mr. Bill Arrington DCM Transportation Field Representative LYNDo TIPPETT SECRETARY ?I y Subject: Request for Refinement of the Existing CAMA Major Development Permit for the Expansion of Smith Creek Parkway from the Northeast Cape Fear River to 0.53 mile East of 23rd Street; State Project No. 8.2250101; Federal Aid Projects No. MAM-M-5851(2) and MANHS- 0332(8); TIP Nos. U-92B and U-92A, respectively; New Hanover County The Department of Transportation (DOT) proposes to modify its activities in jurisdictional areas in portions of U-92A and U-92B. The "A" project is under construction; the "B" project was let on May 21, 2002. The contractor's date of availability for the "B" project is likely to occur near the end of July. With this letter and attachments, a request is hereby made for a CAMA Letter of Refinement. A similar request (for modifications) has been made by separate letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Division of Water Quality. U-92A The DOT requests permission to install additional temporary work bridges at site 3 (centered at Station -L- 29+00). This action would occur at Smith Creek. The bridges have become necessary due to scheduling delays and resulting tie-up of an adjacent trestle, which was the intended construction access over Smith Creek. Tidewater Skanska Construction Corporation proposes to fabricate and install additional trestles to allow a continuous work-bridge across Smith Creek. The proposed design allows for a center span, which could be removed with 24 hours notice to allow a clear span of 33 feet if necessary. Placement of the trestle above Bents 19 and 20 footing locations would allow sufficient overhead clearance. for passage of small watercraft. In order to comply with the instream moratorium from February 1 through June 15, the additional work bridge will be installed in September 2002 and removed in September 2003. The resulting temporary MAILING ADDRESS: TELEPHONE: 919-733-3141 LOCATION: NC DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FAX: 919-733-9794 TRANSPORTATION BUILDING PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS 1 SOUTH WILMINGTON STREET 1548 MAIL SERVICE CENTER WEBSITE: WWW.DOH.

This results in a total net decrease in permanent impacts to wetlands and surface waters of 0.081 acre. Although approval of the temporary bridge on the "A" project is not needed before mid- August, the "B" project has a more critical schedule. A letter of Refinement is needed before the end of July on this project. If you have any questions, please contact Elizabeth L.

The proposed work will impact 0.07 acre of bottomland hardwood forested wetland within wetland site 2. The scope of work will include clearing and grubbing, excavation and filling in a rectangular area measuring approximately 8 x 38 meters. Please modify the existing permit to allow this work to go forward. Insofar as compensatory mitigation is concerned, the Department offers to provide up to 0.14 acre of in-kind credit at the Haw's Run Mitigation Site. Alternatively, in an attempt to provide mitigation within the local watershed, you are asked to consider applying the 0.14 acre against the overall compensatory wetland mitigation package for the Smith Creek Parkway (U-92 A/B). This plan provides over 87 acres of total compensation including 9.8 acres of restoration credits for impacts totaling only 6.5 acres. W'--4 March 27, 2001 LYNDO TIPPETT SECRETARY A separate letter is being sent to the Division of Coastal Management requesting that the impacts resulting from the relocated sewer line be authorized by a Letter of Refinement to the CAMA Major Development Permit. A check in the amount of $200.00 is being forwarded under separate cover to the Division of Water Quality to cover the cost of the Section 401 modification.

Timpy, Regulatory Project Manager LYNDo TIPPETT SECRETARY SUBJECT: Application ./or Modification to DOA Permit No. 199603836 J61- the Construction of a four-lane divided highway on New Location from 23rd Street to Third Street, Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina; State Project No. & 2250102: Federal Aid Project No. MAM-M-5851(2); TIP No. U-92AIB The Department recently discovered that a small section of sanitary sewer line will have to be relocated left of station 22+60 (see figures). The proposed work will impact 0.07 acre of bottomland hardwood forested wetland within wetland site 2. The scope of work will include clearing and grubbing, excavation and filling in a rectangular area measuring approximately 8 x 38 meters. Please modify the existing permit to allow this work to go forward. Insofar as compensatory mitigation is concerned, the Department offers to provide up to 0.14 acre of in-kind credit at the Haw's Run Mitigation Site. Alternatively, in an attempt to provide mitigation within the local watershed, you are asked to consider applying the 0.14 acre against the overall compensatory wetland mitigation package for the Smith Creek Parkway (U-92 A/B). This plan provides over 87 acres of total compensation including 9.8 acres of restoration credits for impacts totaling only 6.5 acres. A separate letter is being sent to the Division of Coastal Management requesting that the impacts resulting from the relocated sewer line be authorized by a Letter of Refinement to the CAMA Major Development Permit. A check in the amount of $200.00 is being forwarded under separate cover to the Division of Water Quality to cover the cost of the Section 401 modification.

The proposed work will impact 0.07 acre of bottomland hardwood forested wetland within wetland site 2. The scope of work will include clearing and grubbing, excavation and filling in a rectangular area measuring approximately 8 x 38 meters. Please modify the existing permit to allow this work to go forward. Insofar as compensatory mitigation is concerned, the Department offers to provide up to 0.14 acre of in-kind credit at the Haw's Run Mitigation Site. Alternatively, in an attempt to provide mitigation within the local watershed, you are asked to consider applying the 0.14 acre against the overall compensatory wetland mitigation package for the Smith Creek Parkway (U-92 A/B). This plan provides over 87 acres of total compensation including 9.8 acres of restoration credits for impacts totaling only 6.5 acres. A separate letter is being sent to the Division of Coastal Management requesting that the impacts resulting from the relocated sewer line be authorized by a Letter of Refinement to the CAMA Major Development Permit. A check in the amount of $200.00 is being forwarded under separate cover to the Division of Water Quality to cover the cost of the Section 401 modification.

The permit drawing for Wetland Site 1 of U-92A shows a temporary workbridge that will be used for construction access across jurisdictional wetlands, associated with the Northeast Cape Fear River, near STA 12+00. Based on recent information from the NCDOT, the authorized temporary workbridge does not extend to the CAMA boundary. You have requested a permit modification to authorize extension of the temporary workbridge at Wetland Site 1 of U-92A to the CAMA boundary. This revision does not change the amount of permanent wetland impacts associated with this project. Your DA permit is hereby modified to allow the temporary Work Bridge at Wetland Site 1 to be extended to the CAMA Boundary along the Northeast Cape Fear River near STA 12+00. The permit drawing for Wetland Site 1 of U-92A, attached to your letter dated January 30, 2001, which reflects this extension, replaces the permit drawing for Wetland Site 1 of U-92A of the permit issued on December 12, 2000. effect.

Box 25201 Raleigh, North Carolina, 27611 Q*? NCDENR August 24, 2000 Re: Permit Application for the construction of the Smith Creek Parkway in New Hanover County DWQ No. 001045; T.I.P. No. U-092. Dear Mr. Gilmore: The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your submittal for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the aforementioned project. Review of your application revealed it lacking necessary information required for making an informed permit decision. The permit application was deficient in the following areas: The discussion presented in the permit application that describes the construction methods for the proposed bridge piles is incomplete. The NCDOT will need to submit a detailed proposal describing the proposed construction techniques for the placement of bridge piles. The application states, "Due to on-site soil conditions, it may be necessary to use jetting to set the piles for the proposed bridge...". The NCDOT needs to explain in detail the "on-site soil conditions" that require jetting in jurisdictional areas. It should be noted that the NCDWQ is not necessarily opposed to the use of jetting to place bridge piles. If there are legitimate engineering constraints that require the use of jetting to construct the bridge, then the NCDWQ is willing to approve the method, provided a plan is developed to address the containment and cleanup of sediment displaced from the operation. Therefore, a complete application will require: 1) a detailed discussion explaining the need to use jetting for the placement of bridge piles, 2) a plan explaining the proposed methods for containing sediment during the jetting operation, and 3) a plan for the cleanup of sediments upon completion of the pile placement. In the absence of an appropriate technical rationale for the use of jetting, the NCDWQ would prefer the NCDOT use more environmentally sensitive construction techniques, such as drilled shaft construction with accompanying sediment curtains or pile driving. Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 2h.0507(a)(4), we will have to place the permit application on hold until we are supplied the necessary information. Furthermore, until the information is received by the NC Division of Water Quality, we request (by copy of this letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers place the permit application on hold.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicants propose to construct a new multi-lane road to provide a bypass around the downtown area of the City of Wilmington. The current application addresses that portion of the Smith Creek Parkway, between 3rd St. and 23rd St., including a realignment of the Northeast Cape Fear River bridge and two bridge crossings of Smith Creek. Smith Creek Parkway/NC DOT-DOH Page 2 9. PROTECT DESCRIPTION The proposed Smith Creek Parkway project will connect Eastwood Road (US 17) with Third Street (NC 133) at the Northeast Cape Fear River Bridge. The project was designed as a by-pass of the City of Wilmington downtown area to alleviate traffic congestion on Market Street (US 17). The sections of the Smith Creek Parkway between Eastwood Road and 23rd Street have already been completed. This project is the final 3.6 mile section, between 23rd Street and 3rd Street, including a realignment of the Northeast Cape Fear River bridge and two bridge crossings of Smith Creek. The project has been in the coordinated interagency review and planning process since the early 1980s. This 12 step procedure integrates the requirements of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) into the development and design of the final proposed project. Environmental documents that were completed during this planning and review process include; Final Environmental Impact Statement (1991), Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (1998), and Smith Creek Parkway (Sections A & B) Compensatory Mitigation Plan (Revised 6/29/00). Your Agency's copies of these documents should be used for reference and specific detailed information during the review of this project. The proposed highway alignment is primarily north of Smith Creek, except for the two crossings. The proposed alignment would impact jurisdictional wetlands and perennial streams in eleven (11) different areas. The majority of the project's wetland impacts (5.5 acres) affect areas of Coastal Plain Bottomland Forest systems. These areas are dominated by both hardwood and softwood species including: Sweet Gum (Liquidambar sMc'flua), Black Gum (N? sylvatica), Red Maple (Acer rubrum), Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tuLipi&m), and Loblolly Pine. (>'. s taeda). At the Smith Creek crossing sites, wetland impacts (1.4 acres) affect Tidal Cypress/Gum Wooded Swamp. Hydrophytic vegetation includes Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum), Black Gum v a ylv" atica), and Red Maple (Acer rubrum).Adjacent areas of tidal marsh and shrub wetland vegetation include various shrubs; Black Willow Silverling (Baccharis h almifolia), and Wax Myrtle (Myrica r_akm), with borders of Giant Cordgrass (SpaAim cynocoroides), Saw Grass (Cladium spp.), Narrow-leaf Cat-tail ( an 'fo i) and Bulrush (SSL m spp.). The waters of Smith Creek are classified as C Sw by the NC Division of Water Quality. The waters of Smith Creek are classified as Inland waters. The adjacent Northeast Cape Fear River is a designated Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries, and although Smith Creek functions similarly as a nursery area, the PNA designation cannot be extrapolated to the Inland Waters classification. The NCDOT proposes to construct this portion of the Smith Creek Parkway (TIP No. U-92A/13) totaling 3.6 miles, on a new undeveloped right-of-way in New Hanover County. The project would consist of a four-lane divided highway with two (2) four-lane bridges over Smith Creek. The highway would include a new interchange at North Third Street which would require the reconfiguration of the east end of the existing Northeast Cape Fear River bridge to allow for a new approach from the proposed Smith Creek Parkway. The project would also include the replacement of the existing 23rd Street bridge over Smith Creek. Efforts have been made to reduce the project's wetland impacts by extending the length of the proposed bridges. The western bridge crossing of Smith Creek, near Castle Hayne Road, would be 3,100 feet in length, 82 feet wide, and provide a navigational vertical Smith Creek Parkway/ NC DOT-DOH Page 3 clearance of 26 feet. The eastern bridge crossing of Smith Creek, near 23rd Street , would be 2,106 feet in length, directional separates each 49 feet wide (total width outside to outside 120 feet), and provide a navigational vertical clearance of 26 feet. The replacement bridge at 23rd Street would be 262 feet in length, 63 feet wide, and provide a navigational vertical clearance of 12.8 feet. This is an increase in vertical clearance of 1.3 feet from the existing bridge. The new approach to the Northeast Cape Fear River Bridge would be 567 feet in length, 66 feet wide, and provide a height of 39 feet above the wetlands. This proposed section of bridge is not located over navigable waters. To facilitate construction of the permanent bridges, temporary work bridges would be constructed adjacent on one or both sides of the permanent bridge alignment. Bridge construction over open water area would be facilitated from floating work barges. In addition to the bridge work, an existing box culvert would be extended for 95 linear feet to allow for a wider road width. The extension would match existing culvert dimensions (7 ft. X 6 ft.). 10. ANTICIPATED D IPA .TS This portion of the proposed Smith Creek Parkway project (TIP U-92A/B) would impact a total of 6.9 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. Of that amount, approximately 1.4 acres of tidal wetlands containing coastal wetland species would be consumed by the project , as well as, additional temporary impacts associated with the construction of the temporary work bridges. In addition, there would be 875 linear feet of jurisdictional stream impacts and approximately 87 acres of highground disturbance. NCDOT proposes to mitigate for the Smith Creek Parkway's wetlands and stream impacts at six (6) sites within or near the proposed project. They have provided a compensatory mitigation plan for the project that describes the mitigation sites in detail. A summary of the mitigation totals is listed below. 1. Restoration(11.7 acres) and preservation (16 acres) of Tidal Swamp Forest 2. Restoration (1.1 acres) and Enhancement (11.7 acres) of Tidal Freshwater Marsh 3. Creation (1.3 acres) of Bottomland Hardwood Forest 4. Creation (2.7 acres) of Tidal Swamp Forest 6. Preservation (47.3 acres) of Tidal Cypress-Gum Swamp Total Wetland Mitigation - 92.8 acres. NCDOT proposes to mitigate for the Smith Creek Parkway's stream impacts through the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program for 875 linear feet of stream channel restoration. Submitted by: E. F.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to construct Sections A and B of Smith Creek Parkway, a controlled-access, four-lane divided highway. These sections extend from Twenty-third Street to Third Street in the City of Wilmington, and total approximately 3.6 miles in length on new alignment. This facility will connect with the previously constructed Section C of the Smith Creek Parkway on the eastern end, and the NC 117 Northeast Cape Fear River Bridge on the western end. When completed, the Smith Creek Parkway will serve as a bypass around downtown Wilmington. allowing traffic to move more easily from east to west and reducing congestion on Market Street. The proposed project contains one area of coastal wetlands, two crossings of Smith Creek, a culvert extension, and nine areas of impact to non-coastal wetlands (see attached permit drawings). The area of coastal wetlands and the first crossing of Smith Creek are in Section A of the project (U-92A Site 1 and U-92A Site 3, respectively). The second crossing of Smith Creek and the culvert extension are in Section B of the project (U-92B Site 3 and U- 92B Site 5, respectively). In addition to the impacts associated with construction of the Smith Creek Parkway, the existing 23`d Street bridge will also be replaced as part of this project, as shown on the permit drawings for U-92B Site 3. Impacts to wetlands and streams for each section are presented in tabular form in the packets of permit drawings. We request that the proposed work be authorized under the appropriate Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) permit. Enclosed is a permit application for a CAMA Major Development Permit, including permit drawings, roadway design sheets, mitigation plan, and a check for the $475.00 application fee. This project will also require a Clean Water Act Section 404 Individual Permit from the Corps of Engineers and a Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Applications for these permits were submitted to the Corps and DWQ in June 1999 at the Corps' request, in order to help satisfy concerns about the mitigation for Section C of the Smith Creek Parkway. These applications have now been activated, and are being reviewed. In addition to the Section 404 and 401 permits, this project will also require a Coast Guard permit. This application has been submitted and is being reviewed. If you have any questions or need additional information, please call Ms. Sue Brady at (919) 733-7844 ext.270.

C_ wz?_ '?- Signature U4) 2-0 Date Revised 03/95 - STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION JAMES B. HUNT JR. GOVERNOR July 10, 2000 DAVID MCCOY SECRETARY U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory Field Office P.O. Box 1890 - - Wilmington, NC 28402-1890 ATTENTION: Mr. David Timpy NCDOT Coordinator Dear Sir: Subject: New Hanover County, Smith Creek Parkway (Sections A and B) TIP No. U-92A/B, State Project No. 8.2250102 COE Action ID No. 199603836 The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to construct Sections A and B of Smith Creek Parkway, a controlled-access, four-lane, divided highway. These sections extend from Twenty-third Street to Third Street in the City of Wilmington, and total approximately 3.6 miles in length on new alignment. This facility will connect with the previously constructed Section C of the Smith Creek Parkway on the eastern end, and the NC 117 Northeast Cape Fear River Bridge on the western end. When completed, the Smith Creek Parkway xvill serve as a bypass around downtown Wilmington, allowing traffic to move more easily from east to west and reducing congestion on Market Street. On May 28, 1999, the North Carolina Department of Transportation submitted a preliminary permit application for the subject project. This application was submitted at the request of the Corps of Engineers in order to address concerns about the mitigation for TIP No. U-92C (Section C of the Smith Creek Parkway). At this time, NCDOT would like to activate the permit application for U-92A/B. Summary of project impacts: Impacts to jurisdictional areas of TIP No. U-92A and B consist of 6.9 acres of fill in wetlands and 875 feet of impact to streams. Section U-92A: Impacts to jurisdictional areas of Section U-92A consist of 2.7 acres of fill in wetlands and 344 feet of impact to streams. MAILING ADDRESS: TELEPHONE: 919-733-3141 LOCATION: PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS FAX: 919-733-9794 TRANSPORTATION BUILDING 1548 MAIL SERVICE CENTER 1 SOUTH WILMINGTON STREET RALEIGH NC 27699-1548 WEBSITE. WWW.DOH.DOT.STATE.NC.US RALEIGH, NC 2. Section U-92B: Impacts to jurisdictional areas of Section U-92B consist of 4.2 acres of fill in wetlands and 531 feet of impact to streams.. 3. Mitigation: We have avoided and minimized impacts to the maximum extent possible. For the remaining impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and streams, we propose compensatory mitigation at six sites. These are the Third Street, McRae Street, Smith Creek, Waste Treatment, County Property, and North Kerr Avenue Mitigation Sites. The mitigation plans for these sites are part of this application. Stream impacts will be mitigated through an agreement with the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program. Due to difficulties in accessing the Smith Creek Mitigation Site, it will be necessary to construct a temporary haul road across the wetland area located behind the Corbett Package Company (from approximately Station 30+60 to Station 31+80, see attached roadway design sheets). This haul road will allow access to the mitigation site from the east, and will facilitate removal of debris and solid waste materials from the mitigation site. The roadway will be 15 feet wide, and will have 3:1 side slopes. The road will be placed as close to the edge of the right-of-way as possible, minimizing impact to the wetland. After grading on the site is complete, the haul road will be removed. Due to on-site soil conditions, it may be necessary to use jetting to set the piles for the proposed bridges at the intersection of the Smith Creek Parkway and the NC 117/ Third Street bridge over the Northeast Cape Fear River. If this is necessary, measures will be taken to contain the resulting material, and remove it without undue disturbance to the surrounding area. It is possible that this may be done from the proposed work bridges. NEPA DOCUMENT STATUS A Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) for the Smith Creek Parkway (A and B Sections) was approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on March 30, 1998. This document describes the need for transportation improvements in an east-west linkage corridor to avoid congestion in downtown Wilmington, especially on Market Street. In addition, existing and projected conditions of the study area were described, including natural systems and wetlands. Alignments were evaluated with respect to cost, social and economic impacts, and environmental consequences. The Record of Decision (ROD) was approved on August 13, 1998. Copies of the FSEIS and ROD have been provided to regulatory review agencies involved in the approval process. Additional copies will be provided upon request. 2. Section U-9213: Impacts to jurisdictional areas of Section U-92B consist of 4.2 acres of fill in wetlands and 531 feet of impact to streams.. 3. Mitigation: We have avoided and minimized impacts to the maximum extent possible. For the remaining impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and streams, we propose compensatory mitigation at six sites. These are the Third Street, McRae Street, Smith Creek, Waste Treatment, County Property, and North Kerr Avenue Mitigation Sites. The mitigation plans for these sites are part of this application. Stream impacts will be mitigated through an agreement with the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program. Due to difficulties in accessing the Smith Creek Mitigation Site, it will be necessary to construct a temporary haul road across the wetland area located behind the Corbett Package Company (from approximately Station 30+60 to Station 31+80, see attached roadway design sheets). This haul road will allow access to the mitigation site from the east, and will facilitate removal of debris and solid waste materials from the mitigation site. The roadway will be 15 feet wide, and will have 3:1 side slopes. The road will be placed as close to the edge of the right-of-way as possible, minimizing impact to the wetland. After grading on the site is complete, the haul road will be removed. Due to on-site soil conditions, it may be necessary to use jetting to set the piles for the proposed bridges at the intersection of the Smith Creek Parkway and the NC 117/ Third Street bridge over the Northeast Cape Fear River. If this is necessary, measures will be taken to contain the resulting material, and remove it without undue disturbance to the surrounding area. It is possible that this may be done from the proposed work bridges. :.EPA DD( UMENT STATUS A Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FSEIS) for the Smith Creek Parkway (A and B Sections) was approved by the Federal Highway Administration ?

Copies of the FSEIS and ROD have been provided to regulatory review agencies involved in the approval process. Additional copies will be provided upon request. DESIGN STATUS The schedule for the design of Sections A and B of the Smith Creek Parkway is proceeding based on the letting of the construction contracts (Let Dates). As of May 24, 2000, the let date for TIP No. U-92A is November 2001 (production let date 1-16-01), and the let date for TIP No. U-92B is November 2003 (production let date 9-17-02). The drawings included in this permit application for Section B are Preliminary Designs, as final designs are not yet complete. RESOURCE STATUS For information on the wetland delineations and protected species, please reference the preliminary permit application, submitted May 28, 1999. MITIGATION OPTIONS The Corps of Engineers has 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 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 DOT Order 5660.1A (Preservation of the Nation's 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 reasonable and practicable design features to avoid and minimize wetland impacts, and to provide full compensatory mitigation of remaining wetland impacts. Avoidance measures were taken during the planning and EIS/ROD phases; minimization measures were incorporated as part of the project design. For a discussion of the avoidance and minimization measures that were taken as a part of this project, please see the original permit application, submitted May 28, 1999. SUMMARY OF COMPENSATORY MITIGATION ACTIVITIES NCDOT proposes to provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to wetlands resulting from the construction of TIP No. U-92A and B, as well as the remaining amount of mitigation required for TIP No. U-92C, through the use of six mitigation sites. These sites are known as the Third Street Site, McRae Street Site, Smith Creek Site, Waste Treatment Site, County Property Site, and Kerr Avenue Site. All are located in the City of Wilmington and are adjacent to Smith Creek, except the Third Street Site, which is adjacent to the Northeast Cape Fear River. The Third Street, McRae Street, Smith Creek, Waste Treatment, and County Property Sites are adjacent to the proposed project sections, and the Kerr Avenue Site is located approximately 2 miles northeast of the eastern end of the project. These sites will help restore, enhance, and/or preserve the function of the floodplains of the waterbodies impacted by the proposed project. The Revised Mitigation Plan for these sites is attached.

The proposed project is a 3.6-mile divided four-lane limited-access roadway. This facility will connect with the previously constructed Section C of the Smith Creek Parkway on the eastern end, and the Third Street Northeast Cape Fear River Bridge on the western end. When completed, the Smith Creek Parkway will serve as a bypass around downtown Wilmington, allowing traffic to move more easily from east to west and reducing congestion on Market Street. The alignment of the project is generally north of Smith Creek, and crosses the creek twice. The environmental impacts of the project have been addressed in several documents, most recently the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (FHWA, 1998). Efforts have been made to reduce the acreage of wetlands impacted by this project. By analyzing several alternatives for potential impacts and extending bridges to avoid wetlands, the total area of impacted wetlands was reduced to 6.9 acres. The total amount of streams impacted by the proposed project is 875 linear feet. 2.0 IMPACTED WETLAND RESOURCES 2.1 Methodology Impacted jurisdictional wetlands and streams were delineated using the parameters provided in the "Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (87 Manual)" (DOA 1987). The delineations were done in May 1995 and January 1999, and confirmed by the US Army Corps of Engineers. 2.2 Affected Environment A total of 6.9 acres of jurisdictional wetlands will be impacted by the construction of the project. These wetlands are described as Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwood Forest (5.5 acres) and Tidal Cypress-Gum Swamp Forest (1.4 acres). These communities have been described in the Natural Resources Technical Memorandum for Jurisdictional Wetlands, Biotic Communities and Protected Species (HNTB 1994). 3.0 WETLAND MITIGATION SITES Several sites will provide compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable impacts to wetlands as a result of construction of TIP No. U-92A/B. These sites are: • Third Street Site (at the Third Street Bridge) • McRae Street Site (at the present location of McRae Street) • Smith Creek Site (behind the Corbett Lumber Company) • Waste Treatment Site (at the waste treatment plant on Division Drive) • County Property Site (on New Hanover County property adjacent to Smith Creek) • Kerr Avenue Site (near North Kerr Avenue) These sites are all within the City of Wilmington, and are adjacent to Smith Creek, except the Third Street Site which is adjacent to the Northeast Cape Fear River. The locations of these sites are shown in Figure 1. 3.1 Site Descriptions 3.1.1 Third Street Site This site is approximately 1.3 acres in size and is located where the Smith Creek Parkway will join the Third Street Bridge at the Northeast Cape Fear River. Vegetation on this site consists mainly of weedy species such as Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), kudzu (Pueria lobata), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), as well as upland vegetation such as loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), southern magnolia (Alagnolia grandiflora), grape (Vitis rotundifolia), and greenbriers (Smilax spp.). Soils in this area are mapped as Urban, indicating disturbance from development so that the soil properties have been altered to the extent that a soil series cannot be recognized. Grading this area down and planting with hardwood trees and shrubs will result in the creation of 1.3 acres of bottomland hardwood forest. 3.1.2 McRae Street Site This site is approximately 13.8 acres in size, and consists of tidal marsh south of Castle Hayne Road, adjacent to Smith Creek. Currently, McRae Street acts as a dike, with the only hydrological exchange between the east and west sides of the road occurring through two 18-inch diameter culverts. The proposed project design calls for removing the portion of McRae Street that passes through the marsh and replacing it with a low bridge, approximately 6.5 feet above the surface of the marsh. This will result in the restoration of 1.1 acres of tidal marsh wetland within the present footprint of McRae Street and enhancement of 12.7 acres of tidal marsh wetland to the west of the road, through restored hydrological connection. Soils in this area are mapped as Dorovan, which is listed as hydric. Vegetation on this site consists mainly of black needlerush (Juncus roemarianzts), arrowhead (Sagittaria falcata), and narrow-leaved cattail (Typha angustifolia). Shrubs such as black willow (Salix nigra), wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), and silverling (Baccharis halimifolia) are present along the edges of the marsh, and there are numerous dead bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) standing in the center. 3.1.3 Smith Creek Site This site is approximately 27.7 acres in size and is located south of Castle Hayne Road behind the Corbett Lumber Company, adjacent to Smith Creek. The mitigation plan for the Smith Creek Site has already been written, as it was originally planned to offset wetland impacts associated with construction of Section C of the Smith Creek Parkway. For a description of this site, see the Compensatory Mitigation Plan for Smith Creek, Spring Branch, and Dreyfours South Mitigation Sites (NCDOT 1996). Since this Mitigation Plan was written, an additional 2.8 2 These sites are all within the City of Wilmington, and are adjacent to Smith Creek, except. the Third Street Site which is adjacent to the Northeast Cape Fear River. The locations of these sites are shown in Figure 1. 3.1 Site Descriptions 3.1.1 Third Street Site This site is approximately 1.3 acres in size and is located where the Smith Creek Parkway will join the Third Street Bridge at the Northeast Cape Fear River. Vegetation on this site consists mainly of weedy species such as Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), kudzu (Pueria lobata), multiflora rose (Rosa multijlora), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), as well as upland vegetation such as loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiora), grape (Vitis rotundifolia), and greenbriers (Smilax spp.). Soils in this area are mapped as Urban, indicating disturbance from development so that the soil properties have been altered to the extent that a soil series cannot be recognized. Grading this area down and planting with hardwood trees and shrubs will result in the creation of 1.3 acres of bottomland hardwood forest. 3. 1.2 McRae Street Site This site is approximately 13.8 acres in size, and consists of tidal marsh south of Castle Hayne Road, adjacent to Smith Creek. Currently, McRae Street acts as a dike, with the only hydrological exchange between the east and west sides of the road occurring through two 18-inch diameter culverts.

L' Smith Creek Site This site is approximately 27.7 acres in size and is located south of Castle Hayne Road behind the Corbett Lumber Company, adjacent to Smith Creek. The mitigation plan for the Smith Creek Site has already been written, as it was originally planned to offset wetland impacts associated with construction of Section C of the Smith Creek Parkway. For a description of this site, see the Compensatory Mitigation Plan for. Smith Creek, Spring Branch, and Dreyfours South Mitigation Sites (NCDOT 1996). Since this Mitigation Plan was written, an additional 2.8 2 acres of mitigation has been proposed for construction in the area under the proposed bridge. This will result in the restoration of 11.7 acres and preservation of 16.0 acres of Tidal Swamp Forest. 3.1.4 Waste Treatment Site This site is 0.8 acres in size, and is located adjacent to the Bridge Maintenance Mitigation Site (currently under construction), on the present site of a New Hanover County waste treatment facility. This site is heavily maintained, and vegetation found here includes weedy species such as fescue (Festuca spp.), henbit (Lamium amplexicaule), narrow-leaved plantain (Plantago lanceolata), dandelion (Taraxacum offinale), geranium (Geranium spp.), vetch (Vicia spp.), verbena (Verbena bonariensis), red clover (Trifolium pratense), blackberry (Rubus spp.), and silverling. Soils in this area are classified as Urban, indicating disturbance from development so that the soil properties have been altered to the extent that a soil series cannot be recognized. Mitigation activities on this site will result in the creation of 0.8 acres of Tidal Swamp Forest. 3.1.5 County Property Site This site is comprised of three adjacent areas, totaling 1.9 acres, and is located between the CSX Railroad and Twenty-third Street on property currently owned by New Hanover County. This site is currently upland, and vegetation found here includes loblolly pine, southern magnolia, red maple (Acer rubrum), tulip tree, grapes, and greenbrier. Soils in this area are classified as Kenansville fine sand (0-3% slope) in the eastern portions of the site and Craven fine sandy loam (14%) in the western portion, both of which are listed as non-hydric. Mitigation activities on this site will result in the creation of 1.9 acres of Tidal Swamp Forest. 1.6 Kerr Avenue Site This site consists of approximately 47 acres of Cypress-Gum Swamp preservation, and is located east of North Kerr Avenue and north of Smith Creek (Figure 2). Soils at this site are classified as Dorovan in the southern portion and Johnston in the northern portion. These soils are both listed as hydric. There are small areas of Murville fine sand and Baymeade fine sand in the extreme northwestern side, both of which are listed as non-hydric. This area is dominated by bald cypress, with loblolly pine in the higher elevation areas. Other species in the canopy include red maple, sweetgum, water oak (Ouercus nigra), and sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana). The understory is composed of sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), fetterbush (Lyonia lucida), American holly (Ilex opaca), and sweetbay. Vines present in this community include greenbrier, poison ivy, muscadine grapes, and Japanese honeysuckle. ti ? . 4.0 WETLAND MITIGATION ACTIVITIES 4.1 Third Street Site Mitigation activities on this site will involve grading down the area adjacent to and under the Third Street Bridge, where the Smith Creek Parkway joins the bridge (see attached design sheets). This area was historically upland and/or filled wetlands; it will be graded to an elevation of 3.6 feet and planted with an appropriate selection of plant species. Shrub species such as buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), Virginia sweetspire (Itea virginica), smooth alder (Alnus serrulata), and red chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia) will be planted near and under the bridges. Bottomland hardwood tree species such as laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), overcup oak (Q. lyrata), willow oak (Q. phellos), and green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), and will be planted in areas farther from the bridges, as available. The trees/shrubs will be planted at a density of approximately 680 plants per acre. Construction of this site will take place after all road and bridge construction activities in the area are completed. 4.2 McRae Street Site Wetlands will be restored by first removing the section of McRae Street that passes through the marsh (see attached design sheets). Then the fill material associated with the road will be removed and the site graded down to an elevation similar to that of the surrounding areas of unfilled wetlands. If necessary, the soil will be rehabilitated in order to facilitate colonization from the adjacent marsh. The road will be replaced on a low bridge, approximately 6.5 feet above the marsh. No planting activities are planned for this site, as it already supports marsh vegetation, and colonization of the graded area under portions of the proposed bridge is expected to occur quickly. 4.3 Smith Creek Site The mitigation plan for the Smith Creek Site has already been written and submitted, as it was originally planned to offset wetland impacts associated with construction of Section C of the Smith Creek Parkway. For a description of the site and proposed mitigation activities, see the Compensatory Mitigation Plan for Smith Creek, Spring Branch, and Dreyfours South Mitigation Sites (NCDOT 1996). This plan will be implemented as written, except for the expansion of the area of wetland restoration to include the area under the proposed bridge over Smith Creek (see attached design sheets). No trees will be planted in this area, as it will be under a bridge; however, herbaceous vegetation will be planted. The area not under the proposed bridge will be planted with bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), big cordgrass (Spartina cynosuroides), and sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense). It is uncertain whether the bald cypress will survive due to changes in the hydrologic regime of Smith Creek. Increased tidal amplitude and natural sea level rise, as well as the increased salinity in Smith Creek in the recent past, has caused a significant reduction in the density of bald cypress in the wetlands surrounding the creek (Hackney and Yelverton, 1990). Trees as tall as possible will be utilized for planting in the restoration area. This will allow the crowns to remain above the 4 4.0 WETLAND MITIGATION ACTIVITIES 4.1 Third Street Site Mitigation activities on this site will involve grading down the area adjacent to and under the Third Street Bridge, where the Smith Creek Parkway joins the bridge (see attached design sheets). This area was historically upland and/or filled wetlands; it will be graded to an elevation of 3.6 feet and planted with an appropriate selection of plant species.

For a description of the site and proposed mitigation activities, see the Co zipersatory Mitigation Plan for Sirith Creek, Spring Branch, and Dreyfours South Mitigation 5,w-s j-,NTCDOT 1::96). This Ian will b? llffl?lem nt d 2s written, except tr fle ;.pWASEm-i? th area of wetland restoration to include the area under the proposed bridge over Smith Cree c (see attached design sheets). No trees will be planted in this area, as it will be under a bridge; however, herbaceous vegetation will be planted. The area not under the proposed bridge will be planted with bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), big cordgrass (Spartina cynosuroides), and sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense). It is uncertain whether the bald cypress will survive due to changes in the hydrologic regime of Smith Creek. Increased tidal amplitude and natural sea level rise, as well as the increased salinity in Smith Creek in the recent past, has caused a significant reduction in the density of bald cypress in the wetlands surrounding the creek (Hackney and Yelverton, 1990). Trees as tall as possible will be utilized for planting in the restoration area. This will allow the crowns to remain above the 4 elevation of the highest tides and help to increase their chance of survival. The cypress trees will be planted at a density of 108 trees per acre. Herbaceous marsh vegetation (big cordgrass and sawgrass) will be planted over the whole site, including the area under the proposed bridge, at a density of 4840 plants per acre. It may be necessary to plant a 75:25 mix of Spartina:Cladium, rather than 50:50, due to difficulty in obtaining Cladium. Colonization by other native species is expected to result in the development of species composition in the mitigation area similar to that of the relatively undisturbed flood plain of Smith Creek. 4.4 Waste Treatment Site Mitigation activities on this site will involve removal of the existing waste treatment facility and grading the area outside the fill slope of the proposed roadway to an elevation of approximately 2.0-2.2 feet, adjusted as necessary to tie into the adjacent Bridge Maintenance Mitigation Site and existing natural wetlands (see attached design sheets). The area will then be planted with bald cypress, big cordgrass, and sawgrass. A mentioned above, it is uncertain whether the bald cypress will survive due to changes in the hydrologic regime of Smith Creek. Trees as tall as possible will also be used in the planted areas of this site. The cypress trees will be planted at a density of 108 trees per acre. Herbaceous marsh vegetation (big cordgrass and sawgrass) will be planted between the trees, at a density of approximately 4840 plants per acre. It may be necessary to plant a 75:25 mix of Spartina:Cladium, rather than 50:50, due to difficulty in obtaining Cladium. Colonization by other native species is expected to result in the development of species composition in the mitigation area similar to that of the relatively undisturbed flood plain of Smith Creek. 4.5 County Property Site Mitigation activities on this site will involve grading the area outside the fill slope of the proposed roadway to an elevation of approximately 2.0-2.2 feet. adjusted as necessary to tie into the adjacent existing natural wetlands (see attached design sheets). The area will then be planted with bald cypress, big cordgrass, and sawgrass. Again, it is uncertain whether the bald cypress will survive due to changes in the hydrologic regime of Smith Creek. Trees as tall as possible will also be used in the planted areas of this site. The cypress trees will be planted at a density of 108 trees per acre. Big cordgrass and sawgrass will be planted between the trees at a density of approximately 4840 plants per acre. It may be necessary to plant a 75:25 mix of Spartina:Cladium, rather than 50:50, due to difficulty in obtaining Cladium. Colonization by other native species is expected to result in the development of species composition in the mitigation area similar to that of the relatively undisturbed flood plain of Smith Creek. 4.6 Kerr Avenue Site Forty-seven acres of existing Cypress-Gum Swamp (Blackwater Subtype) at the Kerr Avenue Site will be preserved (see Figure 2). There will be no construction activities (grading or planting) at this site. The property will be preserved in perpetuity through the transfer of the deed to a resource agency (public or private) acceptable to the appropriate regulatory agencies. Covenants and/or restrictions on the deed will be included that will ensure protection of the site in perpetuity. 5.0 MONITORING PLAN 5.1 Third Street Site Hydrology: Two groundwater monitoring wells (40-inch), a surface water gauge, and a rain gauge will be placed in the planted area of the site. Data from these wells will be collected throughout the year, with particular attention given to the growing season (February 27 through November 26). Hydrological success of this area will be determined using data from these wells to demonstrate that inundation or saturation within 12 inches of the surface has existed consecutively for at least 12.5% of the growing season. Vegetation: This site will be monitored through the use of a minimum of two 50-foot x 50-foot sampling plots, placed within the planted areas. The total number of live trees/shrubs within each plot will be counted during each monitoring period. The site will be considered successful if there is a survival rate of 320 trees/shrubs per acre after three years and 259 trees/shrubs per acre after five years. 5.2 McRae Street Site No monitoring activities are planned for this property; the site will be graded down to restore the hydrology of the area, and no planting is planned. 5.3 Smith Creek Site Hydrology: Water level data already collected from the Bridge Maintenance Mitigation Site (adjacent to the Smith Creek Site and the Waste Treatment Site) indicates that an elevation of 2.5 feet above sea level will result in flooding approximately 37% of the time. In order to ensure that the Smith Creek Site accomplishes this, the elevations of a series of points located throughout the site will be measured after grading is complete. This will ensure that the target elevation of the site is met (2.5 feet above sea level). A tide gauge will be installed on the adjacent Bridge Maintenance Mitigation Site to monitor the tidal regime in this stretch of Smith Creek and serve as a reference for the Smith Creek, Bridge Maintenance, Waste Treatment, and County Property Sites. This gauge will record the water depth in Smith Creek every hour for one growing season 6 4.6 Kerr Avenue Site Forty-seven acres of existing Cypress-Gum Swamp (Blackwater Subtype) at the Kerr Avenue Site will be preserved (see Figure 2). There will be no construction activities (grading or planting) at this site. The property will be preserved in perpetuity through the transfer of the deed to a resource agency (public or private) acceptable to the appropriate regulatory agencies. Covenants and/or restrictions on the deed will be included that will ensure protection of the site in perpetuity. 5.0 MONITORING PLAN 5.1 Third Street Site Hydrology: . Two groundwater monitoring wells (40-inch), a surface water gauge, and a rain gauge will be placed in the planted area of the site. Data from these wells will be collected throughout the year, with particular attention given to the growing season (February 27 through November 26). Hydrological success of this area will be determined using data from these wells to demonstrate that inundation or saturation within 12 inches of the surface has existed consecutively for at least 12.5% of the growing season. Vegetation: This site will be monitored through the use of a minimum of two 50-foot x 50-foot samplirig plots, placed within the planted areas. The total number of live trees/shrubs within each plot will be counted during each monitoring period. The site will be considered successful if there is a survival rate of 320 trees/shrubs per acre after three years and 259 trees/shrubs per acre after five years. .. w 5.2 ivlc-Rae Street Site No monitoring activities are planned for this property; the site will be graded down to restore the hydrology of the area, and no planting is planned. Hydrology: Water level data already collected from the Bridge Maintenance Mitigation Site (adjacent to the Smith Creek Site and the Waste Treatment Site) indicates that an elevation of 2.5 feet above sea level will result in flooding approximately 37% of the time. In order to ensure that the Smith Creek Site accomplishes this, the elevations of a series of points located throughout the site will be measured after grading is complete. This will ensure that the target elevation of the site is met (2.5 feet above sea level). A tide gauge will be installed on the adjacent Bridge Maintenance Mitigation Site to monitor the tidal regime in this stretch of Smith Creek and serve as a reference for the Smith Creek, Bridge Maintenance, Waste Treatment, and County Property Sites. This gauge will record the water depth in Smith Creek every hour for one growing season 6 (February 27 through November 26). These data will then be compared to the elevation data to confirm the period of flooding at the Smith Creek Site. Vegetation: Emergent herbaceous vegetation monitoring of the site will utilize a system of sample plots randomly located within the previously delineated restoration area, using GPS software and different coordinates each year. The location of the sample plots in the field will be determined using real-time GPS. Sampling will take place at the end of the growing season. A total of 180 1.0-m' sample plots will be located in the planted area. In order to assess the success of the site, sample plots will be taken in the planted marsh areas. Specific success criteria for the marsh restoration will be frequency of emergent herbaceous vegetation, determined by using the Braun-Blanquet Technique (see Appendix I) as recommended by the National Marine Fisheries Service. Frequency will be determined by F= (n,/ny) x 100, where F= frequency, nY the number of plots where emergent herbaceous vegetation occurs, and ny total number of plots. Density (cover) will be determined by D= EBB/n, where D= density, EBB = the sum of Braun-Blanquet scale values for all plots, and n= the total number of plots. The site will be considered a success if the calculated value for density is greater than or equal to 5.0 (75% cover) by the end of the fifth growing season. If frequency falls below 70% at the end of any growing season, replanting will be undertaken to reestablish the grass species. If Phragmites australis appears in any monitoring period, in more than five sampling plots, then the Department of Transportation will consult with the Corps of Engineers to develop potential control measures. Bald cypress monitoring will utilize two 100.0 x 100.0 ft sampling plots. These plots will be placed within the planted areas, and the total number of live trees within the plot counted during each monitoring period. As mentioned above, changes in the hydrology of Smith Creek have caused the decline in natural bald cypress populations, and it is uncertain if the planted bald cypress trees will survive. NCDOT will not be responsible for the success of the cypress trees. 5.4 Waste Treatment Site Hydrology: The hydrologic success of this site will be evaluated in the same way described for the Smith Creek Site. After grading is complete, the elevations of a series of points located throughout the site will be measured to ensure that the target elevation (2.0-2.2 feet above sea level) is met. These data will then be compared to data from the tide gauge located at the Bridge Maintenance Mitigation Site to confirm the period of flooding. Vegetation: This site will be monitored using the same protocols described above for the Smith Creek Site. A total of 30 sampling plots will be taken within the planted area. The success criteria will be the same as those described for the Smith Creek Site. 7 5.5 County Property Site Hydrology: The hydrologic success of this site will be evaluated in the same way described for the Smith Creek Site. After grading is complete, the elevations of a series of points located throughout the site will be measured to ensure that the target elevation (2.0-2.2 feet above sea level) is met. These data will then be compared to data from the tide gauge located at the Bridge Maintenance Mitigation Site to confirm the period of flooding. Vegetation: This site will be monitored using the same protocols described above for the Smith Creek Site. A total of 30 sampling plots will be taken within the planted area. The success criteria will be the same as those described for the Smith Creek Site. 5.6 Kerr Avenue Site No monitoring activities are proposed for this property, as the site will be preserved; no grading or planting is planned. 6.0 WETLAND AND STREAM MITIGATION SUMMARY NCDOT proposes to provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to wetlands resulting from the construction of TIP Project Number U-92A/13 through restoration and preservation of Tidal Swamp Forest at the Smith Creek Site, restoration and enhancement of Tidal Freshwater Marsh at the McRae Site, creation of Bottomland Hardwood Forest at the Third Street Site, restoration of Tidal Swamp Forest at the Waste Treatment and County Property Sites and preservation of existing Tidal Cypress-Gum Swamp on the Kerr Avenue Site.

The North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program has agreed to provide a total of 875 feet of stream channel restoration. 7.0 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE Construction of all the wetland mitigation sites and on-site stream mitigation will be implemented concurrently with the construction of TIP Project Number U-92A/B. The NC Wetland Restoration Program has been contacted regarding the 875 feet of stream mitigation, and has agreed to provide it. NCDOT has purchased and holds title to the Kerr Avenue Site. 8.0 AS-BUILT REPORT AND DRAWINGS As-built descriptions, photographs, and plans describing the Smith Creek, Third Street, Waste Treatment, and County Property Mitigation Sites will be provided to the appropriate regulatory agencies within 90 days after the mitigation project is completed. This information will include, but not be limited to, descriptions of vegetation establishment, vegetation monitoring plot locations, ground and surface water gauges (if any), and final ground elevations. 9.0 ANNUAL REPORT PREPARATION AND SUBMITTAL Annual reports for the Smith Creek, Third Street, Waste Treatment, and County Property Mitigation Sites, including photographs (or copies thereof), will be prepared annually after field monitoring activities are completed. Vegetation and hydrologic data will be included in these reports, as well as information on any significant developments on the sites. Copies of these reports will be submitted to the appropriate regulatory agencies by January 31 of each year following monitoring for five years after planting the mitigation site. 10.0 CONTINGENCY PLANS Establishment of cypress trees over the restoration area of the Smith Creek, Waste Treatment, and County Property Mitigation Sites is proposed, although there is evidence that they may not survive because of increases in salinity, tidal amplitude, and sea level (Hackney and Yelverton, 1990). Consequently, cypress mortality may occur and the areas may develop into emergent marsh communities. The vegetation success criteria will therefore be based on emergent marsh vegetation. Should noxious plant species become established on the Third Street, Smith Creek, Waste Treatment, or County Property Sites, NCDOT will undertake appropriate control measures using accepted chemical, biological, and/or cultural methods. 9 11.0 DISPENSATION OF PROPERTY NCDOT will maintain ownership of the mitigation properties until all mitigation activities are completed. Although no final plan for dispensation of the properties has been developed, NCDOT may deed the properties to a resource agency (public or private) acceptable to the appropriate regulatory agencies. Covenants and/or restrictions on the deeds will be included that will ensure adequate management and/or protection of the sites in perpetuity. 12.0 REFERENCES CITED Department of the Army (DOA). 1987.

HUNT JR. 1501 MAIL SERVICE CENTER, RALEIGH, NC 27699-1501 GOVERNOR July 10, 2000 Mr. Bob Stroud Division of Coastal Management Department of Environment and Natural Resources 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405-3845 Dear Mr. Stroud; DAVID MCCOY SECRETARY ;r7n too Subject: New Hanover County, Construction of Smith Creek Parkway from Twenty- third Street to Third Street, Wilmington, TIP No. U-92 A and B, State Project No. 8.2250102. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to construct Sections A and B of Smith Creek Parkway, a controlled-access, four-lane divided highway. These sections extend from Twenty-third Street to Third Street in the City of Wilmington, and total approximately 3.6 miles in length on new alignment. This facility will connect with the previously constructed Section C of the Smith Creek Parkway on the eastern end, and the NC 117 Northeast Cape Fear River Bridge on the western end. When completed, the Smith Creek Parkway will serve as a bypass around downtown Wilmington, allowing traffic to move more easily from east to west and reducing congestion on Market Street. The proposed project contains one area of coastal wetlands, two crossings of Smith Creek, a culvert extension, and nine areas of impact to non-coastal wetlands (see attached permit drawings). The area of coastal wetlands and the first crossing of Smith Creek are in Section A of the project (U-92A Site 1 and U-92A Site 3, respectively). The second crossing of Smith Creek and the culvert extension are in' Section B of the project (U-92B Site 3 and U- 92B Site 5, respectively). In addition to the impacts associated with construction of the Smith Creek Parkway, the existing 23`d Street bridge will also be replaced as part of this project, as shown on the permit drawings for U-92B Site 3. Impacts to wetlands and streams for each section are presented in tabular form in the packets of permit drawings. We request that the proposed work be authorized under the appropriate Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) permit. Enclosed is a permit application for a CAMA Major l FORM DCM-MP-1 in.
