BURCH Enclosures FACUTIVE ASSISTANT DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers Post Office Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 ACTION ID. 199101066 April 11, 1991 PUBLIC NOTICE THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, POST OFFICE BOX 25201, RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN WATERS AND WETLANDS OF THE CALABASH RIVER AND SHALLOTTE RIVER DRAINAGE BASINS FOR WORK ASSOCIATED WITH THE WIDENING OF U.S HIGHWAY 17 FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE LINE TO SHALLOTTE, Brunswick County, North Carolina. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show approximately 12.01 acres of wetlands at 10 sites bordering the present alignment will be impacted by the new construction. This includes an estimated 5.5 acres of pocosin wetlands, 1.0 acre of pond habitat, and 5.41 acres of hardwood drainage wetlands. Unavoidable wetland loss of 5.41 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands will be mitigated by debiting the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank on a 1:1 basis. The 5.5 acres of lost pocosin wetlands will be mitigated by restoring degraded wetlands on the property known as the J. T. Barefoot Farmers Home Administration Inventory Property in Sampson County, North Carolina. The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service holds a Conservation Easement Deed on 346 acres of this tract, which includes all rights needed to implement permanent wetland restoration. NCDOT is currently conducting hydrologic studies on this property as an initial step in the development of a detailed mitigtion plan. Once the mitigation plan is completed, it will be circulated to all regulatory and regulatory review agencies for review, comment, and approval. No specific measures are proposed to offset the 1.0-acre loss of surface water wetlands associated with the pond habitats identified in the permit application. It is assumed that the acreage of pits left as ponds will be comparable to or larger in size than the 1.0 acre filled. The purpose of the work is to widen an exisiting 2-lane public roadway to a 4-lane divided public roadway. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with the North Carolina Coastal zone Management Plan and has submitted this determination to the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) for their review and concurrence. This proposal shall be reviewed for the applicability of other actions by North Carolina agencies such as: a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (DEM). -2- b. The issuance of a permit to dredge and/or fill under North Carolina General Statute 113-229 by the NCDCM. C. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) by the NCDCM or their delegates. d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-owned submerged land under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by the North Carolina Department of Administration and the North Carolina Council of State. e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Land Quality Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources, pursuant to the State Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 A-50-66). The requested DA permit will be denied if any required State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. No DA permit will be issued until a State coordinated viewpoint is received and reviewed by this agency. Recipients of this notice are encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the above agencies directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps of Engineers. This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archaeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit. The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity -3- and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and, if so, the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest. The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment and/or an Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Generally, the decision whether to issue this DA permit will not be made until the DEM issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of the Army permit serve as application to the DEM for certification. Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be viewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North -4- Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs. The DEM plans to take final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after May 6, 1991. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before May 29, 1991. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Ernest Jahnke, until 4:15 p.m., May 11, 1991, or telephone (919) 251-4467. mC? o+q1 3 • v ac CC 1? ,? >4 •' N a3 0 ? ?pC mt?

Dear Colonel Tulloch: ??. <_?, ? Reference is made to Public Notice ID. 199101066, dated April 11, 1991-2, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has previously reviewed the application by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (Department) for a Department of the Army (Corps) permit to fill wetlands in and adjacent to the Calabash River and Shallotte River to allow the widening of U.S. Highway 17 in Brunswick County, North Carolin a (report dated May 10, 1991, copy attached). This supplemental report is submitted in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordin ation Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). In the Service's May 10, 1991, report we recommended against permit issuance until the Department formally entered into a mitigation banking agreement for pocosin wetlands. The Service also disagreed with the proposed method of debiting the Company Swamp Bottomland Hardwood Mitigation Bank for forested wetland impacts. We also requested clarification as to whether or not an additional. wetland tract was within the impact boundaries of the proposed widening project, and if it was, a determination of the wetland acreage involved. Lastly, the Service identified concerns relative to potential project impacts on the Federally-listed, endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. During a meeting on August 27, 1991, the Department presented the following mitigation for Service consideration: (1) debiting the 5.5 acres of pocosin wetland losses from the Pridgen Flats Mitigation Bank at a 2:1 ratio (acreage); and (2) debiting the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank for the 5.41 acres of bottomland hardwood wetland losses on a 3:1 ratio (acreage). A copy of a Department July 25, 1991 memorandum indicated that formal surveys were completed for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker and no active or inactive woodpecker cavity trees were found. The Service has also learned that the additional wetland crossings identified in our May 10, 1991, report are permitted by the Corps under the provisions of nationwide general permits. The Service believes that all such crossings are an integral part of the entire highway project and should be included in the total impact. At this time, however, we will not contest the Corps' regulatory decision for such cases. The Service and the Department have made significant progress in recent weeks toward the development of a restoration and monitoring plan for the Pridgen Flats Pocosin Mitigation Bank. Exact provisions of the Pridgen Flats Pocosin Mitigation Banking Agreement were reached by the Service and the Department at a meeting on August 27, 1991, but we have yet to formalize and officially sign the mitigation banking agreement. We expect formal agreement within a few weeks. In view of the Department's urgent need to let the contract for this project, we are formalizing our recommendations now rather than waiting until the agreement is signed. We, thus, believe it is essential that our recommended conditions be made part of any permit issued. The Service appreciates the applicant's efforts to provide mitigation for the project's unavoidable impacts to wetlands, and we find the proposed mitigation plan for this project acceptable provided the following conditions are made a part of and included in the Department of Army permit issued: 1) The Pridgen Flats Pocosin Mitigation Bank shall be debited at a 2:1 ratio for the loss of 5.5 acres of pocosin habitat; 2) The Company Swamp Bottomland Hardwood Mitigation Bank shall be debited at a 3:1 ratio for the loss of 5.41 acres of bottomland hardwoods; 3) Construction shall be conducted during times of minimum biological activity, September through April, to minimize adverse impacts to aquatic resources; 4) Sedimentation and erosion control measures shall be carefully implemented and monitored to protect aquatic resources in Shallotte River and Singletree Creek. We appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments. Please advise us of any action taken by the Wilmington District, Army Corps of Engineers on the project. Sincerely yours L.K.

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) intends to widen existing 2-lane U.S. 17 to a 4-lane divided highway from the South Carolina State Line to Shallotte. Approximately 12.01 acres of wetlands on 10 sites bordering the present alignment will be impacted by the new construction. This includes about 5.5 acres of pocosin wetlands, 1.0 acre of pond habitat, anct'5.41 acres of hardwood drainage wetlands. The nature of our proposed improvements limits our ability to avoid wetlands. During the planning of this project, it was decided to widen along the existing{alignment partially because this option had the fewest anticipated adverse environmental impacts. Every effort has been made to reduce infringement on wetlands. Stringent erosion control practices will also be utilized to minimize impacts during project construction. . The NCDOT is proposing a mitigation plan for this project which is similar to the plan used for the widening of U.S 17 from Old U.S. 17 to N.C. 87, (TIP R-83C, File No. CESAW-CO89-N-010-0521). The NCDOT will mitigate the loss of 5.41 acres of forested wetlands by debiting the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank on a 1:1 basis. The NCDOT will mitigate the loss of 5.5 acres of pocosin wetlands through restoration of degraded wetlands on the property known as J.T.

According to project plans submitted with the Public Notice, the applicant proposes to fill wetlands at 10 sites along the present highway alignment. The proposed construction would result in the permanent loss of 12.01 acres of wetlands through the filling of 5.5 acres of pocosin wetlands, 5.41 acres of hardwood wetlands, and 1.0 acre of pond habitat. Mitigation proposed by the NCDOT consists of: debiting the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank on a 1:1 basis for the loss of 5.41 acres of hardwood wetlands; debiting the presently nonexistent pocosin mitigation bank at an unspecified ratio for the loss of 5.5 acres of pocosin habitat; and mitigating for the 1.0 acre lose of pond habitat with the creation of the borrow pits resulting from construction of the project. The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps for the project area classify wetlands proposed for filling as: 1) palustrine, forested, broad-leaved deciduous, temporarily-flooded; 2) palustrine, forested, broad-leaved deciduous, seasonally-flooded; 3) palustrine, forested, broad-leaved deciduous/needle-leaved evergreen, temporarily-flooded; 4) palustrine, forested, needle-leaved evergreen, saturated; and 5) palustrine, unconsolidated bottom, permanently-flooded, excavated. The first three wetland classifications are included in the habitat types covered by the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank. The forth type is pocosin habitat. The Service conducted a site visit on May 8, 1991. Palustrine, forested, evergreen wetlands at the project site were vegetated by Pond pine, (Pinus serotina), loblolly bay (Oordonia lasianthue), sweet bay (,Magnolia viroiniana), red maple (Ater rubrum), sweet gum (Liquidambar stvraciflua), Southern bayberry ( ica cerifera), and fetterbush (Leonia lucida). Dominant species in the hardwood forested wetlands included sweet gum, red maple, tulip tree (Ii riodendron, tulipifera), sweet bay, Southern bayberry, 05/10/91 14:31 water oak (Quercus nigra), as well as loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) ar.d bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) in some areas. The service places considerable value on palustrine forested wetlands. Resident and migratory wildlife that may use these wetlands include whitetail deer, racoon, red and gray fox, passerine birds, raptors, reptiles, and amphibians. In general, these sites are of value to wildlife as sites for feeding, cover, migration, nesting, and juvenile rearing. Forested wetlands also perform essential water quality functions. They serve in pollution and sediment removal, act as flood water retention sites, and contribute usable nutrients to the aquatic food web. Palustrine forested wetland losses are occurring at a high rate on a national basis. In the two-decade period between the early 1950's and 1970's palustrine forested wetlands were reduced nationally by 10.8 percent (Frayer, W.E. , T.J. Monahan, D.C. Bowden, and F.A. Graybill. 1983. Status and trends of wetlands and deepwater habitats in the conterminous United States: 1950's to 1970'x. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Washington, D.C.). Ninety-two percent of the national losses in palustrine forested wetlands occurred in the Southeastern United States (Hefner, J., and J. Brown. 1984. Wetland trends in the Southeastern United States. Wetlands. 4xl-11). Based on the above-described habitat values and the fact that palustrine forested wetlands are relatively scarce or becoming scarce on a national basis or in the ecoregion, we believe that these wetlands fall into Resource Category 2 of the Service's Mitigation Policy (Federal Register 46(15):7656- 7663, January 23, 1981). The goal for resources of this type calls for no net loss of in-kind habitat values. After minimizing losses of such habitats, the unavoidable losses should be replaced with similar habitat values so that populations of the species associated with the habitats will remain relatively stable in the area over time. Specific ways to achieve this include: 1) physical modification of replacement habitat to convert it to the same type lost; 2) restoration or rehabilitation of previously altered habitat; 3) increased management of similar replacement habitat so that the in-kind value of the lost habitat is replaced; or 4) a combination of measures. Based on our on-site investigation and a review of the draft NWI maps, the Service is concerned that the project plans or Public Notice may not include information on every wetland crossing. The attached draft NWI map, Calabash Quadrant, shows a site, pointed out with arrows, mapped as palustrine forested wetland (PF01A) which is between the South Carolina border and "Site 1" on the project plans. The Service requests clarification as to whether or not this site is within the proposed widening project, and whether any additional wetland losses will occur at this location. The Service has several concerns with the applicant's proposed mitigation for bottomland hardwood wetland losses and pocosin wetland losses. According to the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, The North Carolina Nature Conservancy, NCDOT, and the Service, "Mitigation from the bank will be used only to offset unavoidable impacts to fish and wildlife when the applicant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of all parties to the MOU that there are no available or practical onsite mitigation alternatives." Thus far, the applicant has not addressed the potential for on-site mitigation. Additionally, "The parties to the MOU will use the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Habitat Evaluation Procedures (HEP) to determine credits and debits to be applied to the mitigation bank for all projects greater than five acres. For projects lose than five acres, mitigaiton will be on an acre-for-acre basis." The current NCDOT proposal would :.mpact 5.41 acres of wetlands. Therefore, to be in accordance with the MOU a HEP should be performed to determine the number of credits which should be debited. However, in view of recent research by Dr. Gerald McCrain, which Wl 1'1,00 05/10/91 14:32 Z 004 shcrwed that for wetlands of this type in North Carolina, a 3:1 ratio is generally adequate for assuring no-net habitat value lose, the Service would agree to forego the need for a HEP if mitigation is provided on a 3:1 basis. The Service is also concerned with the NCDOT's proposed mitigation for the 5.5 acres of pocosin wetland losses. In accordance with the Service's Mitigation Policy, wetland losses should first be minimized to the maximum extent possible. After this is accomplished, the unavoidable losses should be replaced with similar habitat values so that populations of the species associated with the habitats will remain relatively stable in the area over time. -Once again, the NCDOT is proposing debiting a bank that has not yet been reviewed or approved. As stated in our recent letter dated April 15, 1991 on Public Notice 199100907, the Service strongly recommends that no projects proposing the use of this bank are permitted until the bank is approved. The attached page identifies the Federally-listed endangered (E) and/or threatened (T) and/or species proposed for listing as endangered (PE) and/or threatened (PT) which may occur in the influence of this action. If the proposed project will be removing pine trees greater than or equal to 30 years of age in pine or pine/hardwood habitat, surveys should be conducted for active red-cockaded woodpecker cavity trees within a 0.5 mile radius of project boundaries. If red-cockaded woodpeckers are observed within the project area or if active cavity trees are found, the project has the potential to adversely affect the red-cockaded woodpecker, and you should contact this office for further information. The legal responsibilities of a Federal agency under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended were detailed in material sent to you previously. If you have any questions, please contact us at (919) 856- 4520. Based on the fish and wildlife values of the project area, the Service believes that the public interest would best be served through impact avoidance at this time. The Service requests that the applicant clarify the potential for additional wetland impacts just north of the South Carolina border. Furthermore, we recommend against permit issuance because the applicant's proposed mitigation is not in accordance with the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank MOU, and the applicant is again proposing to debit a pocosion mitigation bank that does not yet exist. The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on this project. We would be pleased to meet with you, your staff, or the applicant to discuss our concerns. Please advise us of any action taken by your office in this matter. Sincerely\,?

DOT Widening of U.S. 17 From the South Carolina State tine to Shallotte Brunswick County PROJECT DESCRIPTION: N.C. DOT Proposes to widen U.S. Hwy 17 from the South Carolina State Line to Shallotte. 12.01 acres of wetlands at 10 sites will be impacted by the project including 5.5 acres of pocosin, 1.0 acre of pond habitat and 5.41 acres of hardwood drainage wetlands. The project has been reviewed to determine impacts to water quality. The following comments have been provided. The project will require a 401 Certification and that Certification should include the following conditions for the filling of wetlands. 1. That the activity be conducted in such a manner as to prevent the turbidity outside the area of construction from exceeding 50 NTU or background levels. 2. That silt fences and other erosion controls be in place before any construction in the wetlands. 3. That all fill must be from a clean upland source, free of toxic material. 4. That tho side slopes of the filled area be stabilized with vegetation as soon as possible to prevent erosion. JUN-06-1991 10:02 FROM EHNR WILM REG OFFICE TO 919197339919 P.03 9103-P.APR Page Two 5. That all off site wetland mitigation be done at a 2:1 acreage ratio or a 1:1 HEP ratio. This is consistent with conditions included in Certification #2578 issued to DOT on March 15, 1991.

The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show approximately 12.01 acres of wetlands at 10 sites bordering the present alignment will be impacted by the new construction. This includes an estimated 5.5 acres of pocosin wetlands, 1.0 acre of pond habitat, and 5.41 acres of hardwood drainage wetlands. Unavoidable wetland loss of 5.41 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands will be mitigated by debiting the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank on a 1:1 basis. The 5.5 acres of lost pocosin wetlands will be mitigated by restoring degraded wetlands on the property known as the J. T. Barefoot Farmers Home Administration Inventory Property in Sampson County, North Carolina. The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service holds a Conservation Easement Deed on 346 acres of this tract, which includes all rights needed to implement permanent wetland restoration. NCDOT is currently conducting hydrologic studies on this property as an initial step in the development of a detailed mitigtion plan. Once the mitigation plan is completed, it will be circulated to all regulatory and regulatory review agencies for review, comment, and approval. No specific measures are proposed to offset the 1.0-acre loss of surface water wetlands associated with the pond habitats identified in the permit application. It is assumed that the acreage of pits left as ponds will be comparable to or larger in size than the 1.0 acre filled. The purpose of the work is to widen an exisiting 2-lane public roadway to a 4-lane divided public roadway. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with the North Carolina Coastal Zone Management Plan and has submitted this determination to the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) for their review and concurrence. This proposal shall be reviewed for the applicability of other actions by North Carolina agencies such as: a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (DEM). -2- b. The issuance of•a-permit to dredge and/or fill under-North Carolina General Statute 113-229 by the NCDCM. C. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) by the NCDCM or their delegates. d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-owned submerged land under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by the North Carolina Department of Administration and the North Carolina Council of State. e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Land Quality Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources, pursuant to the State Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 A-50-66). The requested DA permit will be denied if any required State or local authorization and/or certification is denied. No DA permit will be issued until a State coordinated viewpoint is received and reviewed by this agency. Recipients of this notice are encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the above agencies directly to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps of Engineers. This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archaeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit. The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity -3- and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which.the.proposed.activity may have-on the public.interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and, if so, the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest. The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment and/or an Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity. Generally, the decision whether to issue this DA permit will not be made until the DEM issues, denies, or waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of the Army permit serve as application to the DEM for certification. Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be viewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North -4- Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh,- North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs. The DEM plans to take final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after May 6, 1991. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before May 29, 1991. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Mr. Ernest Jahnke, until 4:15 p.m., May 11, 1991, or telephone (919) 251-4467.

The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show approximately 12.01 acres of wetlands at 10 sites bordering the present alignment will be impacted by the new construction. This includes an estimated 5.5 acres of pocosin wetlands, 1.0 acre of pond habitat, and 5.41 acres of hardwood drainage wetlands. Unavoidable wetland loss of 5.41 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands will be mitigated by debiting the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank on a 1:1 basis. The 5.5 acres of lost pocosin wetlands will be mitigated by restoring degraded wetlands on the property known as the J. T. Barefoot Farmers Home Administration Inventory Property in Sampson County, North Carolina. The U.S Fish and Wildlife Service holds a Conservation Easement Deed on 346 acres of this tract, which includes all rights needed to implement permanent wetland restoration. NCDOT is currently conducting hydrologic studies on this property as an initial step in the development of a detailed mitigtion plan. Once the mitigation plan is completed, it will be circulated to all regulatory and regulatory review agencies for review, comment, and approval. No specific measures are proposed to offset the 1.0-acre loss of surface water wetlands associated with the pond habitats identified in the permit application. It is assumed that the acreage of pits left as ponds will be comparable to or larger in size than the 1.0 acre filled. The purpose of the work is to widen an exisiting 2-lane public roadway to a 4-lane divided public roadway. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with the North Carolina Coastal Zone Management Plan and has submitted this determination to the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) for their review and concurrence. This proposal shall be reviewed for the applicability of other actions by North Carolina agencies such as: a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (DEM). aka. • DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY WILMINGTON DISTRICT, CORPS OF ENGINEERS P.O.

BOX 25201 RALEIGH 27611-5201 January 24, 1991 Engineers Carolina 28402 ATTENTION: Regulatory Branch Dear Sir: JAN 1991 COA."73' ?Tt•m; •itt r DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS WILLIAM G. MARLEY, JR., P.E STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR SUBJECT: Brunswick County, Widening of U.S. 17 from the South Carolina State Line to Shallotte, State Project 8.1310802, TIP's R-97B & R-97C. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) intends to widen existing 2-lane U.S. 17 to a 4-lane divided highway from the South Carolina State Line to Shallotte. Approximately 12.01 acres of wetlands on 10 sites bordering the present alignment will be impacted by the new construction. This includes about 5.5 acres of pocosin wetlands, 1.0 acre of pond habitat, and 5.41 acres of hardwood drainage wetlands. The nature of our proposed improvements limits our ability to avoid wetlands. During the planning of this project, it was decided to widen along the existing, alignment partially because this option had the fewest anticipated adverse environmental impacts. Every effort has been made to reduce infringement on wetlands. Stringent erosion control practices will also be utilized to minimize impacts during project construction. The NCDOT is proposing a mitigation plan for this project which is similar to the plan used for the widening of U.S 17 from Old U.S. 17 to N.C. 87, (TIP R-83C, File No. CESAW-C089-N-010-0521). The NCDOT will mitigate the loss of 5.41 acres of forested wetlands by debiting the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank on a 1:1 basis. The NCDOT will mitigate the loss of 5.5 acres of pocosin wetlands through restoration of degraded wetlands on the property known as J.T. Barefoot Farmers Home Administration Inventory Property in Sampson County, North Carolina. w_ r_.._ . ^__......_.._.. w«._-_...._ w_..__ r__._..__ of , United States Department of the Interior FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE y o Raleigh Field Office Post Office Box 33726 ...'?.,, Raleigh, North Carolina 27636-3726 September 6, 1991 Colonel Walter S. Tulloch District Engineer U.S. Army Corps of Engineers P.O. Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 Attention: Regulatory Branch el?? ?J Itr?r C Q?fee) Dear Colonel Tulloch: Reference is made to Public Notice ID. 199101066, dated April 11, 199'2 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has previously reviewed the application by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (Department) for a Department of the Army (Corps) permit to fill wetlands in and adjacent to the Calabash River and Shallotte River to allow the widening of U.S. Highway 17 in Brunswick County, North Carolina (report dated May 10, 1991, copy attached). This supplemental report is submitted in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). In the Service's May 10, 1991, report we recommended against permit issuance until the Department formally entered into a mitigation banking agreement for pocosin wetlands. The Service also disagreed with the proposed method of debiting the Company Swamp Bottomland Hardwood Mitigation Bank for forested wetland impacts. We also requested clarification as to whether or not an additional wetland tract was within the impact boundaries of the proposed widening project, and if it was, a determination of the wetland acreage involved. Lastly, the Service identified concerns relative to potential project impacts on the Federally-listed, endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. During a meeting on August 27, 1991, the Department presented the following mitigation for Service consideration: (1) debiting the 5.5 acres of pocosin wetland losses from the Pridgen Flats Mitigation Bank at a 2:1 ratio (acreage); and (2) debiting the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank for the 5.41 acres of bottomland hardwood wetland losses on a 3:1 ratio (acreage). A copy of a Department July 25, 1991 memorandum indicated that formal surveys were completed for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker and no active or inactive woodpecker cavity trees were found. The Service has also learned that the additional wetland crossings identified in our May 10, 1991, report are permitted by the Corps under the provisions of nationwide general permits. The Service believes that all such crossings are an integral part of the entire highway project and should be included in the total impact. At this time, however, we will not contest the Corps' regulatory decision for such cases. The Service and the Department have made significant progress in recent weeks toward the development of a restoration and monitoring plan for the Pridgen Flats Pocosin Mitigation Bank. Exact provisions of the Pridgen Flats Pocosin Mitigation Banking Agreement were reached by the Service and the Department at a meeting on August 27, 1991, but we have yet to formalize and officially sign the mitigation banking agreement. We expect formal agreement within a few weeks. In view of the Department's urgent need to let the contract for this project, we are formalizing our recommendations now rather than waiting until the agreement is signed. We, thus, believe it is essential that our recommended conditions be made part of any permit issued. The Service appreciates the applicant's efforts to provide mitigation for the project's unavoidable impacts to wetlands, and we find the proposed mitigation plan for this project acceptable provided the following conditions are made a part of and included in the Department of Army permit issued: 1) The Pridgen Flats Pocosin Mitigation Bank shall be debited at a 2:1 ratio for the lose of 5.5 acres of pocosin habitat; 2) The Company Swamp Bottomland Hardwood Mitigation Bank shall be debited at a 3:1 ratio for the loss of 5.41 acres of bottomland hardwoods; 3) Construction shall be conducted during times of minimum biological activity, September through April, to minimize adverse impacts to aquatic resources; 4) Sedimentation and erosion control measures shall be carefully implemented and monitored to protect aquatic resources in Shallotte River and Singletree Creek. We appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments. Please advise us of any action taken by the Wilmington District, Army Corps of Engineers on the project. Sincerely yours/ - r 101: 4 g., L.K.
