The subject project involves the placement of fill in several wetland
areas of Hoke County in order to complete a highway widening project on
US 401. Minor fill (.08 acre) will be required in a private pond just east of
Raeford off the existing right-of-way. Fill in another private pond will also
be required approximately 1.5 miles east of Raeford (.29 acre). Three stream
crossings are also proposed. Approximately .31 acre will be filled at Black
Branch (Class "C") and approximately .73 acre filled at the crossing of Puppy
Creek (Class "C"). Approximately 1.02 acres of wetland will be filled as a
result of construction at Beaver Creek. At this crossing, the stream channel
will be re-routed to form a straight line through a series of box culverts.
An individual permit may be required in this instance.
No significant environmental impact is expected as a result of the above
mentioned construction. The DOT is expected to comply with standard sedimen-
tation and erosion control practices during the life of this project.
It is therefore the recommendation of this office that the appropriate
certification be granted, including the following conditions:
Measures should be taken to ensure that in-stream turbidity
shall not be increased to more than 50 NTU's as a result of the
proposed activity, after a reasonable opportunity for dilution
and mixture.
2. A mitigation plan should be developed for all unavoidable
wetland impacts.
3. The NC DOT should require that the contractor not impact
additional wetland areas due to the disposal of excavated spoil
material, as a source of borrow material, or as a result of any
other construction related activity.

Attn: Regulatory Branch
Dear Colonel Tulloch:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed Pre-discharge
Notification 199103388, dated October 2, 1991. The North Carolina Department of
Transportation, Division of Highways has applied for a Department of the Army
permit to place fill material in five wetland crossings at two unnamed ponds,
Black Branch, and Puppy and Beavers Creeks, all associated with the widening of
U.S. Highway 401 Bypass, in Hoke County, North Carolina. This is the report of
the Service and the Department of the Interior and 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).
The Service applauds the decision by the Corps to include these wetland crossings
in one project. It has been our position for some time that all wetland
crossings associated with a given highway improvement should be considered
together as one application. Although any one wetland crossing may be able to
stand on its own as an individual project, such crossings are obviously not
conceived or funded individually and would not be constructed if it were not for
the larger goal of highway improvement over a longer reach. Combining the
impacts of all individual crossings not only acknowledges the true impact of this
and future highway projects but offers a way to realistically mitigate the
significant cumulative impacts resulting from such projects.
A Service biologist inspected the project area on January 15, 1988 and observed
stands of mature bottomland hardwoods characterized by black gum, American
sycamore, and tulip-poplar at Beaver Creek, Puppy Creek, and at Black Branch.
Wetlands such as these are of high fish and wildlife habitat value and are
becoming scarce on a national and regional basis. Using the Service's Mitigation
Policy (Federal Register, 46(15): 7656-7663, January 23, 1981), we consider
these wetlands to be in Resource Category 2 which has a mitigation goal of no net
loss of in-kind habitat value. Wetland crossings at sites 1 and 3 would affect
man-made ponds. The Service has not inspected these sites, but based on our
experience with other man-made ponds, they are likely of medium fish and wildlife
habitat value. Man-made ponds are also relatively abundant on a national and
regional basis and can be placed in Resource Category 4 which has a goal of
minimizing loss of habitat value.
The proposed highway crossings would result in the loss of 2.1 acres of forested
wetlands, and 0.4 acre of ponds. Applying the Service's Mitigation Policy to the
bottomland hardwoods at the project sites, the Service requires full replacement
of fish and wildlife habitat values by restoration, enhancement, or creation of
corresponding wetland types (i.e, replacement in-kind). The Service expects the
relocated shorelines of the affected ponds to recolonize with wetland vegetation
of equal fish and wildlife habitat value to what currently exists at those sites.
The first step to mitigate habitat losses resulting from these proposed crossings
is to avoid the impact to wetlands. The second step involves minimizing wetland
losses. Although the Black Branch site, number 4, appears to be the minimum
impact possible, wetland losses could be greatly reduced at both Beaver and Puppy
Creeks, sites 2 and 5, respectively, by relocating the highway encroachment
southward of the proposed alignments. At Beaver Creek, such a realignment would
move most of the expansion into a previously cleared utility right-of-way. At
Puppy Creek, a southward relocation would move the highway expansion out of the
relatively broad floodplain created by the confluence of Puppy Creek and an
unnamed tributary. Remaining unavoidable impacts should be compensated by the
full replacement of fish and wildlife habitat values. This could be
accomplished, in decreasing preference, by restoring or creating forested
wetlands onsite, within the affected watershed, or in similar habitats elsewhere
such that there is no net loss of inkind habitat value.
In addition to forested wetland losses, adverse effects to instream aquatic
habitats would also result. At Beaver Creek, the Department of Transportation
proposes to relocate the stream and route it through a total of 184 feet of
doubled 7 by 7-foot and 8 by 9-foot box culverts. Puppy Creek would not be
straightened, but it would still be routed through four 10 by 11-foot box
culverts 130 feet long. The Service recommends that these crossings be made by
bridges rather than culverts so that wetland fill can be further reduced. Also,
bridges present less of a barrier to migrating fish and other stream-dwelling
organisms.
We realize that the existing stream crossings are by culverts, but the expansion
of the culverted area will make these crossings more effective barriers to fish
migration. The cumulative effect of such crossings is to isolate fish
populations in progressively shorter stream reaches where they are less likely
to be colonized by migrants from nearby reaches and more susceptible to local
extirpation. This is also of concern for the sandhills chub, a candidate for
federal listing, that has been collected in Beaver Creek.
The Service also believes that all the wetland crossings in this project may not
have been identified. Approximately 1.5 miles west of the Hoke/Cumberland County
border, Highway 401 passes about 940 feet through what appears to be a Carolina
Bay. This area, shown on the attached soils map, is underlain by Coxville loam,
poorly drained soil. The Service recommends that any wetlands that might be
affected by this crossing be delineated in the project plats. Any wetland
losses, as for the sites already identified, would require compensatory
mitigation of unavoidable losses at the same ratio.
The attached page lists the federally-listed endangered (E) and/or threatened (T)
species and/or species formally proposed for listing as endangered (PE) or
threatened (PT) which may occur in the area of influence of this project. The
legal responsibilities of Federal agencies under Section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended, were detailed in material previously sent to
your agency.
The Department of Transportation prepared Environmental Assessments for this
project in 1981 and 1987. Since that time, three plant species recorded from
Hoke County have been listed. Therefore, the affects of the proposed project on
these recently-listed species must now be considered.
In addition, the Service biologist who reconnoitered the route in 1988, observed
at least one stand of mature pines that offered potential nesting and foraging
habitat for red-cockaded woodpeckers. If the proposed project will be removing
pines 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 in
appropriate habitat within a half-mile radius of project boundaries. If red-
cockaded woodpeckers are observed within the project area or active cavity trees
found, the project has the potential to adversely affect the red-cockaded
woodpeckers and you should contact this office for further information.
Based on the above concerns, the Service recommends that a Department of the Army
permit not be issued for this project until potential impacts to Federally-listed
endangered and threatened species and all wetland crossings are addressed. The
Service recommends that bottomland hardwood impacts be minimized to the maximum
extent possible by relocating alignments as described above, and by using bridges
to cross Beaver Creek and Puppy Creek. We recommend full compensation for
bottomland hardwood losses at all of the identified sites, as well as for any
additional adverse impacts to wetlands at the aforementioned Carolina Bay.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this project. Please
advise us of any action taken by the Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers.
You may contact David Dell, Permit Coordinator, of this office if you have any
question regarding our recommendations.
Sincerely yours,
L.K. Mike Gantt

Dear Mr. Hardy:
COASTAL RESOURCES CC
By letter, with attachments, of September 19, 1991 (copy enclosed), the
North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways, applied for
a Department of the Army permit to authorize that placement of fill material
in 2.43 acres of waters/wetlands, at five sites, within two unnamed ponds,
Black Branch and Puppy and Beavers Creeks, associated with widening of U.S.
Highway 401 Bypass, between the Raeford Bypass and S.R. 1317, Hoke County,
North Carolina.
Four of the five sites are located above headwaters and each involves the
placement of fill material in less than an acre of wetlands. The fifth site,
Puppy Creek, is below headwaters and involves the placement of fill material
in approximately 0.73 acre of wetlands. Inlieu of separating the work and
utilizing nationwide authorization, we propose consideration of the total
project pursuant to the general permit No. CESAW-CO82-N-000-0031 that
authorizes the placement of fill material associated with the construction,
repair, or replacement of bridges across navigable waters and waters of the
United States in North Carolina, including cofferdams, abutments, foundation
seals, piers, temporary construction and access fills, approach fills, detour
fills, and box culvert installation, as part of work conducted by or in full
compliance with the standards and specifications of the North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT). In accordance with the general permit,
as the project involves fills totaling more than an acre, your comments and/or
recommendations are hereby requested. Please respond on or before October 28,
1991.

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT; Hoke County, Widening of U.S. 401 from Raeford
Bypass to SR 1317, State Project No. 6.531003, TIP
No. R-214A.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation intends
to widen a 4.5 mile section of the US 401 by-pass west of
Raeford, N.C.
The proposed construction activity will necessitate the
placement of fill material in five separate jurisdictional
wetlands along the length of the project corridor. NCDOT
anticipates that activities at four of these sites may be
authorized under Nationwide 26 Permits for activities which
place fill in wetlands above headwaters in accordance with 33
CFR 330.5(3). At three of these sites (sites 1, 3 and 4),
the amount of fill will be under 1 acre, and therefore do not
require a pre-discharge notification. These sites have been
included in the enclosed permit drawings for your
information. At a fourth site (site 2), the amount of fill
is greater than 1 acre (1.02 acres), and a pre-discharge
notification will be required. The fifth site (site 5) is
not considered a candidate for Nationwide Permit
An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer
authorization, and it is anticipated that construction
activities at this site may be authorized by a bridge general
permit.
Best management practices will be implemented at each of
these five sites to attempt and minimize any wetlands takings
associated with these construction activities.
Application is hereby made for the appropriate
Department of the Army permits as required by the above
mentioned construction activities. Attached is a pre-
discharge notification, permit application and drawings
depicting proposed work. By copy of this letter, we are also
requesting that a Section 401 Water Quality Certification be
issued by the N.C. Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Doug

The proposed construction activity will necessitate the
placement of fill material in five separate jurisdictional
wetlands along the length of the project corridor. NCDOT
anticipates that activities at four of these sites may be
authorized under Nationwide 26 Permits for activities which
place fill in wetlands above headwaters in accordance with 33
CFR 330.5(3). At three of these sites (sites 1, 3 and 4),
the amount of fill will be under 1 acre, and therefore do not
require a pre-discharge notification. These sites have been
included in the enclosed permit drawings for your
information. At a fourth site (site 2), the amount of fill
is greater than 1 acre (1.02 acres), and a pre-discharge
notification will be required. The fifth site (site 5) is
not considered a candidate for Nationwide Permit

authorization, and it is anticipated that construction
activities at this site may be authorized by a bridge general
permit.
Best management practices will be implemented at each of
these five sites to attempt and minimize any wetlands takings
associated with these construction activities.
Application is hereby made for the appropriate
Department of the Army permits as required by the above
mentioned construction activities. Attached is a pre-
discharge notification, permit application and drawings
depicting proposed work. By copy of this letter, we are also
requesting that a Section 401 Water Quality Certification be
issued by the N.C. Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Doug
Huggett of NCDOT's Environmental Unit at (919) 733-9770.
