Type III Categorical Exclusion Action Classification Form
STIP Project No. U-5713, R-5777A & R-5777B
WBS Element 50111.1.FS1, 44648.1.2 & 44648.1.3
Federal Project No. *NHPP-0070(182) [*U-5713 portion only]
A. Project Description:
The proposed projects would upgrade U.S. 70 to interstate standards from the Neuse River
Bridge to east of Thurman Road (S.R. 1116) in Craven County, North Carolina. State
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) U-5713 would construct improvements from
Garner Road (S.R. 1121) to the Neuse River Bridge, a distance of approximately 2.5 miles.
STIP R-5777A&B would construct improvements from east of Thurman Road to Garner Road,
a distance of approximately 2.6 miles. For the purposes of this document, U-5713 and R-
5777A&B are referred to as "the project."
B. Description of Need and Purpose:
The project is one of several that NCDOT is working on to improve the U.S. 70/Future I-42
corridor, with the intent to improve regional mobility and provide better connectivity between
Raleigh and the seaport at Morehead City, as well as to the military bases in Havelock and
Goldsboro and the Global Transpark in Kinston. The 2015 Fixing America's Surface
Transportation Act designated U.S. 70 from 1-40 in Garner to the port at Morehead City as a
high-priority corridor and future interstate (1-42). The intent of the 1-42 designation is to
benefit military interconnectivity, aid in economic development, create jobs and stimulate
growth in travel and tourism. In addition, U.S. 70 is a designated hurricane evacuation route
between the coast and the 1-95 interchange in Johnston County.
The purpose of this project is to add additional capacity and access management
improvements to the U.S. 70 corridor through James City, with the goal of providing local and
regional benefits in traffic operations and economic development. In addition, the project will
address local community concerns related to connectivity, access, and modal choice,
including walking and biking.
C. Categorical Exclusion Action Classification: Type III
D. Proposed Improvements:
NCDOT Preferred Alternative — U-5713
For the U-5713 project, NCDOT proposes to add two additional travel lanes (one in each
direction) along U.S. 70 from Garner Road (S.R. 1121) to the Neuse River Bridge. In
addition, the project would close existing median openings and at-grade intersections, with
interchanges and service road connections constructed to maintain access to the U.S. 70
corridor. The existing service roads would be extended in some locations and relocated away
from the interchanges to maintain access to the side streets. The project would raise U.S. 70
over a re-connected Elder Street (S.R. 1138/S.R. 1917) and build interchanges to provide full
access to U.S. 70 at Grantham Road (S.R. 1124), Airport Road, and Williams Road (S.R.
1167).
The project will also provide wider paved shoulders in some areas, and wider outside travel
lanes in others, to accommodate cyclists and sidewalks along several cross streets that
currently lack these facilities. New sidewalks would be provided along Grantham Road (S.R.
1124), Williams Road, Airport Road and Elder Street. James City residents would see
1 Revised 4/25/17

notable change in access across U. S. 70 with the removal of the existing pedestrian bridge
over U.S. 70 in conjunction with the reconnection of Elder Street under U.S. 70, which will
include sidewalks. Members of the public have raised concerns about the existing
pedestrian bridge since its construction due to its appearance and the fact that bridge ramps
and stairs are in isolated areas not connected to sidewalks, with the result that it is not widely
used. The reconnection of Elder Street will provide a more accessible route across U.S. 70
for pedestrians.
The rail spur that crosses U.S. 70 at grade between Williams Road and the Neuse River
Bridge will be removed as part of this improvement project. On-going coordination related to
right of way acquisition will continue between NCDOT, North Carolina Railroad, Norfolk
Southern, and the business that the spur line serves into the anticipated Design-Build phase
of the project.
NCDOT Preferred Alternative — R-5777A&B
For the R-5777A&B project, no additional travel lanes would be added along U.S. 70 from
Garner Road (S.R. 1121) to the eastern terminus of the R-5777A&B project; however, the
proposed interchange improvements have been designed to be compatible with future
widening of this section of U.S. 70.
Similar to the U-5713 project, the R-5777A&B project would close existing median openings
and at-grade intersections, and maintain access with new interchanges and service road
connections that would be constructed to maintain access to the U.S. 70 corridor. The
existing service roads that terminate at Garner Road would be extended east through the
entire R-5777A&B project area to maintain access to the side streets. The project would build
interchanges to provide full access to U.S. 70 at Thurman Road (S.R. 1116) and Taberna
Way (S.R. 1922).
The project would also construct new connecting roads to extend Taberna Way and Day Star
Lane on new location between U.S. 70 and Old Cherry Point Road (S.R. 1113).
Other Alternatives Evaluated
In addition to the NCDOT Preferred Alternative, the following alternatives to the proposed
improvements to U.S. 70 were considered:
• No-Build Alternative
• Alternate Modes of Transportation
• Transportation Management Alternative
• New Location Alternatives
The No-Build Alternative would not reduce congestion along U.S. 70 nor would improve
regional mobility or access management.
The Alternate Modes of Transportation and Transportation Management alternatives could
help reduce congestion on U.S. 70, but they would not provide the level of benefit of the
Preferred Alternative nor would they improve connectivity between Raleigh and the seaport
at Morehead City.
New location alternatives would have substantial impacts to both the human and natural
environment and would not meet the purpose and need for the project because they would
not provide the additional capacity needed through this portion of the U.S. 70 corridor, nor
would they move enough traffic from this corridor to the new location corridor to reduce travel
delay.

E. Special Protect Information:
Funding
The U-5713 and R-5777A&B projects are being planned together and are scheduled to be let
for construction together, although they have separate Planning & Engineering (PE) funding
sources, with U-5713 using federal funds and R-5777A&B using state funds. This single
federal Categorical Exclusion is being prepared to comply with the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA)for U-5713 and the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)for R-5777A&B.
Public Involvement Summary
According to early outreach on the part of the project's public involvement team, resentment
in the James City community still lingers following an earlier NCDOT project that included
intersection improvements along with removal/closure of several intersections for streets that
previously provided local access across U.S. 70. The 2010 James City Improvements
Feasibility Study (NCDOT, 2010) was being developed at approximately the same time that
the intersections were being closed, which created confusion about how and why the work
was done. Many citizens and members of the business community feel that they were not
listened to, and that their needs were not addressed when the recommendations for the
feasibility study were developed. As a result, there has been some degree of lingering
mistrust on the part of the community with regard to NCDOT's intentions for improvements to
U.S. 70. To help ensure ample opportunity for community input, public involvement efforts for
the project included targeted outreach to the James City Community, including individual
meetings and small focus group meetings in 2015, and door to door outreach in coordination
with corridor-wide public meetings in October 2015 and December 2016.
The purpose of the October 2015 and December 2016 corridor-wide public meetings was to
provide an opportunity for citizens to come together collectively to share their thoughts and
ideas regarding the projects. There were 226 participants that attended the October 2015 3-
day public meetings. There were 235 participants (with 9 being repeat attendees) that
attended the December 2016 3-day public meetings. Comments provided at these meetings
were used to guide the development of the conceptual designs. In addition, during this
outreach, residents and businesses expressed concerns that the initial project extent(limited
to U-5713) did not extend to Taberna Way (S.R. 1922) and Thurman Road (S.R. 1116). This
input, in consultation with local and federal officials, led to the inclusion of the R-5777A&B
improvements with the construction of the U-5713 project.
Two focus group meetings were held January 16, 2018, to gather input from local businesses
and residents at the south end of the project about conceptual designs. Many of the 41
business owners and 47 residents who attended the two meetings were aware of the
proposed projects. Most of the concerns and questions raised were related to property
access. Following the meetings, the proposed project designs were modified where feasible,
to address comments received about property access.
In addition to the meetings described above, newsletters were sent to residents and
businesses within the project study area in Fall 2016 and Fall 2017. The newsletters
described the project, provided updated information on developments subsequent to the
previous opportunities for public input, and included contacts for additional information.
Through this early and extensive public outreach, NCDOT was able to understand the
concerns of the James City communities and businesses and, in turn, the communities and
businesses understood the challenges and constraints that NCDOT had to work with in
planning and developing the project. Through this collaborative process, NCDOT was able
to successfully resolve the public's initial apprehension and concerns related to the proposed
improvements by incorporating their input into the project development process. Because of
5 Revised 4/25/17

this, no substantial controversy or public opposition exists to the proposed project.

G. Additional Documentation as Required from Section F
Response to Question 1 —Threatened and Endangered Species
• Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis)
The USFWS has developed a programmatic biological opinion (PBO) in conjunction with
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), USACE, and NCDOT for NLEB in eastern
North Carolina. The PBO covers the entire NCDOT program in Divisions 1-8, including all
NCDOT projects and activities. The programmatic determination for NLEB is "May Affect,
Likely to Adversely Affect". The PBO provides incidental take coverage for NLEB and will
ensure compliance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for five years for all
NCDOT projects with a federal nexus in Divisions 1-8, which includes Craven County,
where TIP U-5713 and R-5777A&B are located. This level of incidental take is authorized
from the effective date of a final listing determination through April 30, 2020.
Response to Question 5— Displacements/Right of Way Acquisition
Based on preliminary designs, 17 residences and 36 businesses, and one non-profit will be
displaced. Five (5) of the homes and five (5) of the businesses to be relocated are owned or
occupied by minorities. The Relocation Reports are appended to this document for reference.
8 Revised 4/25/17

Sufficient right-of-way and easements will be acquired to accommodate the proposed
improvements along U.S. 70 and the adjoining side roads and service roads. Additional right-of-
way and easements are required along U.S. 70 to accommodate the proposed widening, with the
majority of the right-of-way being acquired at the locations of the proposed interchanges and in
areas where the proposed service roads will be located. Right-of-way will also be acquired
between Taberna Way and Old Cherry Point Road to accommodate a new connection between
U.S. 70 and Old Cherry Point Road, as well as between the service road east of the Thurman
Road interchange and Old Cherry Point Road for similar purposes. The resulting impacts of
residential and business displacements, although substantial, will not result in a significant impact
to the community based on the proportion of residences and businesses being relocated due to the
project.
Response to Question 7 — Indirect and Cumulative Effects Screening Report
An Indirect and Cumulative Effects Screening Report was completed for the project and can be
found in the project file. The following paragraphs summarize the conclusions of this report:
Projects U-5713 and R-5777A&B propose to upgrade U.S. 70 to interstate standards on
existing alignment, with an increase in capacity along approximately one half of the overall
proposed project length. The project would convert the existing partial control of access to
full control of access, with an anticipated reduction in travel time along the mainline, U.S.
70. Population and employment within the Future Land Use Study Area (FLUSA) are
expected to grow, but at modest rates, and local planners anticipate that available land will
be developed over time, whether or not the project is constructed. The City of New Bern
and Craven County have plans and ordinances in place to effectively manage growth and
development, while protecting natural resources within the FLUSA. The Indirect and
Cumulative Effects Screening Tool (Table F-1) generated a score of 15 points out of 32,
which indicates that a Land Use Scenario Assessment (LUSA) is not likely warranted for
this project.
It is anticipated that the project will not notably contribute to cumulative impacts to
environmental resources in the FLUSA. The potential for the degradation of water quality
also exists through erosion and stream sedimentation. Any direct natural environmental
impacts by NCDOT projects would be addressed by avoidance and minimization consistent
with programmatic agreements with the natural resource agencies during the Permitting
process.
The notable natural environmental features found within the FLUSA are provided multiple
protections under State and Federal laws and local permitting ordinances as described
above. With these existing regulations in place, the combination of past, current and future
projects is expected to have a minor impact on notable environmental resources in the
FLUSA. The cumulative effect of this project when considered in the context of other past,
present, and future actions, and the resulting impact on the notable human and natural
features, will not notably contribute to cumulative impacts to environmental resources in the
FLUSA. Direct natural environmental impacts by NCDOT projects will be addressed by
avoidance, minimization, or mitigation consistent with programmatic agreements with the
natural resource agencies during the Permitting process. All future development will be
required to follow local, state, and federal guidelines and permitting regulations.
Response to Question 10 — Impacted Waters
Streamside riparian zones within the study area are protected under provisions of the
Neuse River Buffer Rules administered by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources. The
table below presents anticipated buffer impacts of the project and specific mitigation amounts will
be determined during the permitting stage of the project.

Response to Question 12 — Individual Section 404 Permit
The proposed project is expected to impact 2.3 acres of wetlands and 1,903 feet of
streams. Under the current Section 404 permitting requirements, it is expected the
project will require an Individual Permit (IP). In general, the US Army Corps of
Engineers Wilmington District issues an IP for projects that result in 0.5 acre or more
of fill to Waters of the US or 300 linear feet or more of stream impacts or if the project
is considered by the agency to be a major action. This permit requires a full public
interest review, including public notices and coordination with involved agencies,
interested parties, and the general public.
Response to Question 14— Section 106 effects determination
• Historic Architecture Resources
For the U-5713 and R-5777A&B projects, a comprehensive architectural survey of the
project study area was conducted in March 2016 and evaluated 222 resources, of which 13
warranted further investigation (Eligibility review July 2016 by HPO and NCDOT). In July
2016, research and evaluation of these 13 resources commenced and findings were
presented in a January 2017 technical report. In March of 2017, HPO concurred that the
following resources were eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places
(NRHP):
U-5713 Resources
o Pilgrim Chapel Missionary Baptist Church (CV0396)
o Jones Chapel AME Zion Church (CV1902)
o Meadows Cemetery (CV2783)
HPO also concurred that the Mt. Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church (CV2050) retains the
elements for which it was listed in the NRHP. HPO also agreed to the established and
proposed NRHP boundaries for each property
R-5777A&B Resources
o New Bern Battlefield Site (CV2055)
A Determination of Effects Meeting was held on March 20, 2018, at which the NC-HPO,
FHWA, and NCDOT concurred that the proposed projects would have the following:
o Pilgrim Chapel Missionary Baptist Church (CV0396) — No Effect
o Jones Chapel AME Zion Church (CV1902) — No Effect
o Meadows Cemetery (CV2783) — No Effect
10 Revised 4/25/17

o Mt. Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church (CV2050) — No Effect
o New Bern Battlefield Site (CV2055) — No Adverse Effect with Environmental
Commitments (see Section H of this document for those commitments)
• Archaeological Resources
In a letter from the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, State Historic
Preservation Office, dated May 28, 2015, the U-5713 project was found to have no known
archaeological sites within the proposed project area. Based on the HPO's knowledge of
the area, they concluded that it was unlikely that any archaeological resources that may be
eligible for inclusion in the NRHP will be affected by the project; therefore, they
recommended that no archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with
this project.
In a letter from the NCDOT Archaeological Surveys Group, dated October 23, 2017,
NCDOT archaeologists stated that the study area for the R-5777A&B project was very large
in order to accommodate various alternatives for the proposed interchanges at Taberna
Way and Thurman Road. Much of the study area has a low to moderate potential for
archaeological sites and no archaeological survey was recommended for those low-
potential areas. However, there are several areas that have a higher potential requiring
investigation, including the New Bern Battlefield site.
In a subsequent letter from the NCDOT Archaeological Surveys Group, dated February 26,
2018, the NCDOT Archaeological Survey Group noted that the project study area had been
reduced based on the refined project alternatives and made the following
recommendations:
Recommend survey of the level, well-drained, undeveloped areas near water
(as shown on the maps below). Determine whether the New Bern Battlefield
earthworks are within the A.P.E. along the east side of US 70.
Based on these recommendations, and the determination that the New Bern Battlefield
earthworks are located within the project A.P.E. and are anticipated to be impacted by the
proposed improvements, NCDOT is conducting on-going archaeological investigations and
expects to have the results of these investigations available for HPO review in July/August
2018. Commitments to continued archaeological surveys and coordination with HPO are
included in Section H of this document.
Response to Question 15 — Hazardous Materials
Sites of concern were identified in the Geo Environmental Pre-Scoping Comments for U-5713
dated 9/12/2016, and R-5777A&B dated 10/27/2017, and are included in the project file. In the U-
5713 project study area, a total of 24 sites of concern were identified within the project study area:
20 UST facilities, 1 dry cleaner and 3 other sites (including 1 mixed use industrial site, 1 marine
manufacturer and 1 autobody shop). In the R-5777A&B project study area, a total of 12 sites of
concern were identified: 11 possible UST facilities and 1 Superfund site.
The construction of the project is anticipated to be handled through the Design-Build process. As
such, the Design-Build Team will be required to do the following:
After submittal of the right of way/ 60% roadway design plans, the Design-Build Team shall
hold a right of way consultation with the NCDOT's GeoEnvironmental staff, Transportation
Program Management Director, and key Design-Build Team members. Sites of concern
within the proposed right of way that are noted in the GeoEnvironmental Pre-Scoping
Comments and 3/14/2018 Addendum, and any other sites identified by the Design-Build
Team during the right of way consultation, shall be investigated by the Department. The
Department shall require 90 days from the date of the consultation to investigate and
provide Right of Way Recommendations. The Right of Way Consultation shall occur prior to
11 Revised 4/25/17

the Design Build Team making offers to purchase the right of way on these sites of
concern. The Design-Build Team shall adhere to all Right of Way Branch procedures
regarding the acquisition of contaminated property and any Right of Way Acquisition
Recommendations provided by the Department.
After the parcels with identified contamination and/or underground storage tanks (USTs)
are acquired and cleared of all existing above ground structural improvements, the
Department shall remove all USTs from the right of way within 60 days of notification that
the structures have been removed. Contaminated soil shall be removed by the Department
to the limits necessary to complete the construction project. All remaining contaminated
soil shall be left in place and undisturbed.
Response to Question 16— Floodplain
There are no FEMA regulated floodplains impacted by the R-5777A&B project.
The proposed U-5713 project would impact 0.20 acres of the Zone AE floodplain (i.e., 100-year
floodplain) within the construction limits. The Selected Alternative would not result in substantial
encroachment to regulatory floodplains and are not expected to increase the extent or level of flood
hazard risk. NCDOT will coordinate with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
and local authorities in the final design stage of the project to ensure compliance with applicable
floodplain management ordinances.
Response to Question 22 — Changes in Access Control
For the R-5777A&B project, full control of access will be acquired along U.S. 70, including the
ramps and intersecting roads where new interchanges are being proposed (i.e., Taberna Way and
Thurman Road). The full control of access along these intersecting roads will extend from the
proposed interchange to the proposed service road intersections.
On the U-5713 project, the following full control of access (measured from the ramp centerlines) is
proposed:
Williams Road Interchange
West side of U.S. 70—to service road (approx. 315 feet)
East side of U.S. 70 —approx. 490 feet
Airport Road Interchange

Response to Question 24— Maintenance of Traffic
The proposed modifications to U.S. 70 would be constructed within an existing roadway network;
as such, temporary delays associated with construction are anticipated. All construction operations
would be scheduled to keep traffic delay minimized. All safeguards, safety devices, protective
equipment, and any other actions reasonably necessary to protect the life and health of employees
on the job, the safety of the public, and the property connected with performance of the work would
be applied.
The construction of the project is anticipated to be handled through the Design-Build process. As
such, the Design-Build Team will be required to maintain traffic as required in the TMP scope of
work and other components of the RFP that relate to traffic maintenance. Adhering to North
Carolina's standards will also be required for this project.
12 Revised 4/25/17

Response to Question 28 —Traffic Noise
Based on the preliminary Traffic Noise Report (TNR), there will be 62 noise receptor impacts as a
result of the proposed improvements (30 impacts associated with U-5713 and 32 impacts
associated with R-5777A&B). This evaluation partially completes the highway traffic noise
requirements of 23 CFR 772. The TNR, once approved, will identify areas where noise abatement
is likely--- that is, where it preliminarily meets feasibility and reasonableness criteria. Upon
approval of the TNR, the results of that report, including updated impacts and the likely abatement
locations, will be made available via the U-5713 Project website
(www.ncdot.gov/projects/US70_JamesCity/) and will also be mentioned in an upcoming project
newsletter that will be sent prior to the final round of public meetings later in 2018. Additionally,
hard copies of the TNR will be available for review during these public meetings and Traffic Noise
experts will be in attendance to address any questions or concerns from the public.
Final noise wall recommendations will be based on the analysis done during final design and
reported in the Design Noise Report. The final decision on installation of noise abatement shall be
made upon completion of project final design, the public involvement process, and compliance with
NCDOT Policy.

WBS Nos. 50111.1.FS1, 44648.1.2 & 44648.1.3
STIP Nos. U-5713, R-5777A & R-5777B
Hazardous Materials (NCDOT Division 2, Design-Build Team)
• Sites of concern within the proposed right of way that are noted in the GeoEnvironmental
Pre-Scoping Comments and 3/14/2018 Addendum, and any other sites identified by the
Design-Build Team during the right of way consultation, shall be investigated by the
Department. The Department shall require 90 days from the date of the consultation to
investigate and provide Right of Way Recommendations. The Right of Way Consultation
shall occur prior to the Design Build Team making offers to purchase the right of way on
these sites of concern. The Design-Build Team shall adhere to all Right of Way Branch
procedures regarding the acquisition of contaminated property and any Right of Way
Acquisition Recommendations provided by the Department.
After the parcels with identified contamination and/or underground storage tanks (USTs)
are acquired and cleared of all existing above ground structural improvements, the
Department shall remove all USTs from the right of way within 60 days of notification that
the structures have been removed. Contaminated soil shall be removed by the Department
to the limits necessary to complete the construction project. All remaining contaminated
soil shall be left in place and undisturbed.
FEMA Floodplains and Floodways (NCDOT Division 2, Design-Build Team)
• This project involves construction activities on or adjacent to a FEMA-regulated stream(s).
Therefore, the Division will submit sealed as-built construction plans to the NCDOT
Hydraulics Unit upon completion of project construction, certifying the drainage structure(s)
and roadway embankment located within the 100-year floodplain were built as shown in the
construction plans, both horizontally and vertically.
NC Floodplain Mapping Program (NCDOT Division 2, Design-Build Team, NCDOT
Hydraulics Unit)
• NCDOT will coordinate with the NC Floodplain Mapping Program (FMP), the delegated
state agency for administering FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program, to determine the
status of the project with regard to applicability of NCDOT'S Memorandum of Agreement, or
approval of a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) and subsequent final Letter of
Map Revision (LOMR).
Reconnection of Elder Street/Removal of Existing Pedestrian Bridge/Addition of Sidewalks
(NCDOT Division 2, Design-Build Team)
• The designs for both projects have been developed to accommodate input from the James
City Environmental Justice (EJ) community, which has been impacted by transportation
projects implemented over the last several decades that separated neighborhoods. The
following commitments have been incorporated into the designs to mitigate the impacts to
the surrounding communities:

o a new bridge on U.S. 70 over Elder Street that allows for a reconnection of Elder
Street
o dismantling the existing pedestrian overpass bridge
o inclusion of sidewalks along both sides of the following roadways:
■ Elder Street
■ Williams Road
■ Airport Road
■ Grantham Road
These designs need to be retained through the Design-Build process and into the
construction phase to avoid adverse and disproportionate impacts to the James City
community.
Minimum Horizontal Clearance (NCDOT Division 2, Design-Build Team)
• To mitigate the impacts created by the proposed retaining walls and interchanges, the
proposed designs will incorporate wider openings to allow for bicycles and pedestrians to
pass underneath. A minimum of 14 feet from the edge of travel to the front of the barrier or
end bent wall will be required under bridges for this project. The six bridges are:
o Elder Street
o Williams Road
o Airport Road
o Grantham Road
o Taberna Way
o Thurman Road
Removal of the Norfolk Southern At-Grade Spur Line Railroad Track (NCDOT Division 2,
NCDOT Rail Division, Design-Build Team)
• NCDOT will continue to coordinate with the North Carolina Railroad, Norfolk Southern, and
the Dixie Chemical Company regarding the removal of the at-grade rail spur that crosses
U.S. 70 in the vicinity of the Neuse River Bridge. This at-grade crossing will be removed as
part of the proposed project.
Cultural Resources (NCDOT Archaeological Group, Division 2, Design-Build Team)
• New Bern Battlefield Earthworks (CV2055)
Project activities within the existing right of way on the east side of U.S. 70 will impact the
earthworks, however a finding of no adverse effect will be established when the
commitments detailed below are fulfilled:
1. Construction activities will not impact any land outside (east of) the existing ROW
(all land within 35 meters (115 feet) of the U.S. 70 pavement).
2. Archaeological survey will be conducted within the existing ROW from the
earthworks north to a small drainage valley, a distance of approximately 273 meters
(900 feet). The survey will consist of the excavation of shovel tests at a 15-meter
(50-foot) interval within the existing ROW.
3. A metal detector survey will be conducted within the existing ROW along the east
side of U.S. 70 from the earthworks north to a small drainage valley. The metal
detector survey will be followed by shovel tests placed at each positive reading.
4. The earthworks will be examined by excavation of a trench across it. The cross-
section will be recorded with a measured drawing and photographs.
5. The results of the survey/testing will be provided in a report that will be reviewed by
NCDOT and HPO/OSA staff.

6. No staging or storage of equipment and materials will occur within the National
Register boundary and corresponding vicinity of the newly identified earthworks
section.
7. Tree protection will be installed along the ROW during construction.
8. To ensure avoidance of the earthworks, protective fencing will be installed defining
its boundary. A member of the NCDOT Archaeology Group (Caleb Smith,919-707-
6086) will assist with the installation of this protective fencing.
• On-going Archaeological Surveys
NCDOT will conduct the required archaeological survey for R-5777AB in several areas
where high archaeological potential has been identified along each side of U.S. 70.
Continued Coordination and Outreach (NCDOT Division 2, Design-Build Team)
• School Buses
Because 23 school buses utilize U.S. 70 and intersecting streets, making 46 trips each
school day, it is recommended that the Design Build Team coordinate with Craven County
Schools (252-514-6377) prior to any construction that may result in substantial delays for
school buses.
• Craven Area Regional Transit
It is possible that Craven Area Regional Transit (CARTS) will be operating a fixed route
transit system that serves the entire New Bern Urbanized Area by the time that construction
is scheduled to begin. Therefore, it is recommended that the Design Build Team contact
CARTS (252-636-4917) prior to construction to determine if service is being provided within
the project study area, and if so, coordinate regarding detours and construction delays that
may impact service.
• Business Outreach and Bike MS
It is recommended that the Design Build Team coordinate with the New Bern Area
Chamber of Commerce (252-637-3111) regarding outreach to businesses in the project
study area, and to the Bike MS organizers (FundraisingSupport(aD-nmss.org) prior to project
construction.
• Fire/EMS Outreach
It is recommended that the Design Build Team coordinate with local emergency service
providers, including No. 7 Township Fire and Rescue (252-637-2779) and Craven County
Emergency Services (252-636-6608), regarding potential detour routes, and prior to any
construction that may result in substantial delays for emergency vehicles.
• Marine Corps Air Station at Cherry Point
U.S. 70 is a designated STRAHNET route and serves military commuters. Because the
project is expected to have temporary impacts on mobility during construction, it is
recommended that the Design Build Team coordinate with the Commanding Officer of the
Marine Corps Air Station at Cherry Point (252-466-2811) prior to project construction.
Traffic Noise (NCDOT Division 2, Design-Build team)
• Once the Traffic Noise Report is approved, the areas where noise abatement preliminarily
meets feasibility and reasonableness criteria will be reported to the public by way of the U-
5713 Project website (www.ncdot.gov/projects/US70 JamesCity/) and will also be
mentioned in an upcoming project newsletter that will be sent prior to the final round of
public meetings later in 2018. Additionally, hard copies of the TNR will be available for
review during these public meetings and Traffic Noise experts will be in attendance to
address any questions or concerns from the public.

Northern long-eared bat (NCDOT Division 2, Design-Build Team)
• Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis)
The USFWS has developed a programmatic biological opinion (PBO) in conjunction with
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), USACE, and NCDOT for NLEB in eastern
North Carolina. The PBO covers the entire NCDOT program in Divisions 1-8, including all
NCDOT projects and activities. The programmatic determination for NLEB is "May Affect,
Likely to Adversely Affect". The PBO provides incidental take coverage for NLEB and will
ensure compliance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for five years for all
NCDOT projects with a federal nexus in Divisions 1-8, which includes Craven County,
where TIP U-5713 and R-5777A&B are located. This level of incidental take is authorized
from the effective date of a final listing determination through April 30, 2020.

SUBJECT: Start of Study for Improvements to US 70 from SR 1121 to Neuse River Bridge,U-5713,
Craven County, ER 15-0988
Thank you for your letter of April 20, 2015, start of study letter for the above-referenced project.
There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area. Based on our knowledge of the
area,it is unlikely that any archaeological resources that may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of
Historic Places will be affected by the project. We, therefore,recommend that no archaeological investigation
be conducted in connection with this project.
As there has been no architectural survey work in the study area since 2001,we recommend that NCDOT
undertake an architectural survey of any properties over fifty years of age in the Area of Potential Effects.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-807-6579 or
environmental.reviewgncdcr.gov. In all future communication concerning this project,please cite the above
referenced tracking number.

SUMMARY OF HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPES REVIEW
DESCRIPTION OF REVIEWACTIVITIES,RESULTS,AND CONCLUSIDNS:HPOWeb reviewed on 17 October
2017 and yielded one NR, two SS, and no DE, SL, or Li] properties in the Area of Potential Effects(APE).
APE equates with the study area provided in the review request(see attached map). Northern end of
study area partially overlies that of the U-5713 project. Craven County current GIs mapping, aerial
photography, and tax information indicated a mostly developed APE containing about 215 built resources,
of which about 79%are residential in use and about 34% predate 1970 (viewed 17 October 2017). The
pre-1970s resources are unexceptional (many altered) examples of their types. The previously recorded
Service Station (CV2782) and House(CV2716)were determined ineligible for the National Register by the
2017 architectural study for the U-5713 project, a finding that remains valid. Part of the National
Register-listed New Bern Battlefield Site (CV2055) lies within the study area(also within a possible permit
area), and thus impacts of the project on the resource must be considered and discussed with the state
historic preservation office and United States Army Corps of Engineers(see attached aerial maps).
Google Maps"Street View"and other visuals confirmed the presence and relative placement of the
historic architectural and landscape resources in the APE (viewed 17 October 2017). The comprehensive
county architectural survey(1980-3) recorded no properties in the APE, but did reference the Battle of
New Bern (Peter B.Sandbeck, The HWoricArchitecture of New Hem and Craven County,No&Carolina(New Bern:Tryon
Palace Commission, 1988)). Of later studies, only that for the U-5713 project identified any resources in the
APE as noted above. The A and B sections of the R-5777 project generated separate review requests,
and this form is filed with each and pertains to both. This form supersedes that dated 20 March 2018
and documents the finding established at a 15 May 2018 effects consultation necessitated by the revised
boundary for the New Bern Battlefield Site (CV2055).

Project Description: NOTE: This is an update of the Archaeological Survey Required form
submitted on 10/23/2017.
Convert at-grade intersection of US 70 and Taberna Way to a restricted interchange in Craven
County. Area of Potential Effects (A.P.E.) is approximately 4,103 meters (13,461 ft.) long and
between 100-273 meters (328-894 ft.) wide. The A.P.E. (for this project as well as R-5777B)
stretches along US 70 from Garner Rd. south to a point approximately 1,719 meters (5,638 ft.)
south of Thurman Rd. It encompasses possible interchanges at US 70 and Taberna Way (R-
5777A) and US 70 and Thurman Rd. (R-5777B; see PA 17-09-0016). (This A.P.E. is longer and
narrower than the October 2017 study area.) The project is State-funded, may require Federal
permits, and will not require easements.
SUMMARY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES REVIEW: SURVEYREQUIRED
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
The original review (October 2017) included an examination of a topographic map, the Craven
County soil survey, an aerial photograph, and listings of previously recorded sites, previous
archaeological surveys, and previous environmental reviews at the Office of State Archaeology
(O.S.A.). US 70 is oriented approximately north-south.
The topographic map (New Bern, N.C.) shows the landforms in the A.P.E. are mostly upland
flats. The A.P.E. does include the headwaters of several tributary streams of Brice Creek which
is located to the west of US 70. The level, well-drained uplands adjacent to the tributaries have
some potential for prehistoric archaeological sites. The uplands away from water have less
potential. The October 2017 review identified five areas within the large study area that had
potential for archaeological sites.
The current review of the Craven County soil survey shows there are eight soil types in the
A.P.E. The majority of the acreage (approx. 60%) within the A.P.E. is poorly-drained soil. Four
of the soil types are described as poorly-drained, while four are described as well-drained. The
soil types within the A.P.E. are:

A review of information at the O.S.A. showed no previously recorded archaeological sites within
or adjacent to the large study area. The study area had not been previously surveyed for
archaeological sites. There are a number of projects (ER 83-1300; ER 93-7668; ER 02-11739;
ER 05-1140; ER 08-1394; ER 13-1523; ER 13-2847) within or adjacent to the study area that
have been reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office (HPO). HPO did not recommend
an archaeological survey for most of the projects. A survey was recommended for one project
(ER 93-7668), a large development west of the A.P.E. (We could find no record that a survey
had ever been conducted.)
One area near the A.P.E. along the west side of US 70 and the south side of Taberna Way has
been surveyed. Russ (2002) surveyed the location of the proposed Battle of New Bern Park.
The survey included the future locations of a visitor's center and parking lot, and did not identify
any archaeological sites. Since the time of the survey the New Bern Battlefield Park has been
established as an historical park (managed by the Craven County Historical Society). It is
located outside of the A.P.E., on the west side of the railroad and south of Taberna Way.
Although not recorded as an archaeological site, the New Bern Battlefield Site is a National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP)-listed site shown on the HPO web-based GIS site. The
NRHP application (Brent 2001) describes it as a 98-acre site on the west side of the railroad
tracks, and a narrow line of earthworks along the east side of US 70. It was listed on the NRHP
in 2001. The battlefield site is located outside of the A.P.E. The southwest end of the
earthworks is located within the A.P.E. The earthworks run southwest to northeast, a short
distance south of and parallel with SR 1185 (Bradford Dr.). They run between US 70 at the
southwest end and SR 1113 (Old Cherry Point Rd.) at the northeast end.
The original study area for this project was very large in order to accommodate various
alternatives for this interchange (as well as for the proposed interchange at US 70 and Thurman
Road to the south [see PA 17-09-0016; R-577713]). There were several areas with archaeological
potential, and these would need to be investigated if they fell within the final design. Also, the
New Bern Battlefield site would be examined if the final design impacted any areas within its
boundaries.
The smaller A.P.E. submitted in January 2018 will impact less of the high potential areas. Most
of the A.P.E. is along each side of US 70, with expanded areas at the Taberna Way and Thurman
Rd. interchanges. It is likely that at least some of the areas with archaeological potential are
disturbed by roadside maintenance, drainage, utilities, etc. Examination of the aerial photograph
shows the one at the north end of the A.P.E. is occupied by development. However, there are
five small parts of the A.P.E. that are within the archaeological potential areas, are not visibly
developed or disturbed, and have well-drained soils. One of these also includes the southwest
`ARCHAEOLOGICAL SUR VEYREQUIRED"formfor the Amended Minor Transportation Projects as Qualified in the 2015 Programmatic Agreement.

end of the earthworks. As mentioned above, the NRHP-listed New Bern Battlefield site is
located outside of the A.P.E.
Recommend survey of the level, well-drained, undeveloped areas near water (as shown on the
maps below). Determine whether the New Bern Battlefield earthworks are within the A.P.E.
along the east side of US 70.

Project Description: NOTE: This is an update of the Archaeological Survey Required form
submitted on 10/23/2017.
Convert at-grade intersection of US 70 and SR 1116 (W. Thurman Rd./E. Thurman Rd.) to a
restricted interchange in Craven County. Area of Potential Effects (A.P.E.) is approximately
4,103 meters (13,461 ft.) long and between 100-273 meters (328-894 ft.) wide. The A.P.E. (for
this project as well as R-5777A) stretches along US 70 from Garner Rd. south to a point
approximately 1,719 meters (5,638 ft.) south of SR 1116. It encompasses possible interchanges
at US 70 and Taberna Way (R-5777A; see PA 17-09-0015) and US 70 and SR 1116. (This
A.P.E. is longer and narrower than the October 2017 study area.) The project is State-funded,
may require Federal permits, and will not require easements.
SUMMARY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES REVIEW: SURVEYREQUIRED
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
The original review (October 2017) included an examination of a topographic map, the Craven
County soil survey, an aerial photograph, and listings of previously recorded sites, previous
archaeological surveys, and previous environmental reviews at the Office of State Archaeology
(O.S.A.). US 70 is oriented approximately north-south.
The topographic map (New Bern, N.C.) shows the landforms in the A.P.E. are mostly upland
flats. The A.P.E. does include the headwaters of several tributary streams of Brice Creek which
is located to the west of US 70. The level, well-drained uplands adjacent to the tributaries have
some potential for prehistoric archaeological sites. The uplands away from water have less
potential. The October 2017 review identified five areas within the large study area that had
potential for archaeological sites.
The current review of the Craven County soil survey shows there are eight soil types in the
A.P.E. The majority of the acreage (approx. 60%) within the A.P.E. is poorly-drained soil. Four
of the soil types are described as poorly-drained, while four are described as well-drained. The
soil types within the A.P.E. are:

A review of information at the O.S.A. showed no previously recorded archaeological sites within
or adjacent to the large study area. The study area had not been previously surveyed for
archaeological sites. There are a number of projects (ER 83-1300; ER 93-7668; ER 02-11739;
ER 05-1140; ER 08-1394; ER 13-1523; ER 13-2847) within or adjacent to the study area that
have been reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office (HPO). HPO did not recommend
an archaeological survey for most of the projects. A survey was recommended for one project
(ER 93-7668), a large development west of the A.P.E. (We could find no record that a survey
was ever conducted.)
One area near the A.P.E. along the west side of US 70 and the south side of Taberna Way has
been surveyed. Russ (2002) surveyed the location of the proposed Battle of New Bern Park.
The survey included the future locations of a visitor's center and parking lot, and did not identify
any archaeological sites. Since the time of the survey the New Bern Battlefield Park has been
established as an historical park (managed by the Craven County Historical Society). It is
located outside of the A.P.E., on the west side of the railroad and south of Taberna Way.
Although not recorded as an archaeological site, the New Bern Battlefield Site is a National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP)-listed site shown on the HPO web-based GIS site. The
NRHP application (Brent 2001) describes it as a 98-acre site on the west side of the railroad
tracks, and a narrow line of earthworks along the east side of US 70. It was listed on the NRHP
in 2001. The battlefield site is located outside of the A.P.E. The southwest end of the
earthworks is located within the A.P.E. The earthworks run southwest to northeast, a short
distance south of and parallel with SR 1185 (Bradford Dr.). They run between US 70 at the
southwest end and SR 1113 (Old Cherry Point Rd.) at the northeast end.
The original study area for this project was very large in order to accommodate various
alternatives for this interchange (as well as for the proposed interchange at US 70 and Taberna
Way to the north [see PA 17-09-0015; R-5777A]). There were several areas with archaeological
potential, and these would need to be investigated if they fell within the final design. Also, the
New Bern Battlefield site would be examined if the final design impacted any areas within its
boundaries.
The smaller A.P.E. submitted in January 2018 will impact less of the high potential areas. Most
of the A.P.E. is along each side of US 70, with expanded areas at the Taberna Way and Thurman
Rd. interchanges. It is likely that at least some of the areas with archaeological potential are
disturbed by roadside maintenance, drainage, utilities, etc. Examination of the aerial photograph
shows the one at the north end of the A.P.E. is occupied by development. However, there are
five small parts of the A.P.E. that are within the archaeological potential areas, are not visibly
developed or disturbed, and have well-drained soils. One of these also includes the southwest

end of the earthworks. As mentioned above, the NRHP-listed New Bern Battlefield site is
located outside of the A.P.E.
Recommend survey of the level, well-drained, undeveloped areas near water (as shown on the
maps below). Determine whether the New Bern Battlefield earthworks are within the A.P.E.
along the east side of US 70.
