Concurrence on (1) the purpose and need, (2) alternatives to be studied, (3) the
recommended alternative, and (4) avoidance, minimization, and mitigation for the subject project
need to be obtained from all the merger team members (see attached list). The purpose of the
meeting was to determine the project's level of concurrence with the permitting and resource
agencies. After brief introductions, a description of the project and the issues to be discussed
were given. A field visit to the project site followed.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways, proposes to
widen US 158/NC 34 in Camden County from a two-lane roadway to a multi-lane facility. The
length of the project is approximately 5.4 miles (8.6 km). Two public parks are located close to
the western terminus of the project on both sides of the existing road (Causeway Park and
George M. Wood Memorial Park). NCDOT, in coordination with Elizabeth City officials, has
committed to minimize impacts to the parks as much as possible. Two properties within the
project limits, the Creekmore Store and the Sawyer Cemetery, are eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places. NCDOT has agreed in coordination with the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to move the
Creekmore Store to the rear of its property for mitigation purposes and to avoid impacting the
Sawyer Cemetery.
The project crosses a bay of the Pasquotank River and five tributaries of Sawyers Creek.
An undeveloped causeway is located east of Elizabeth City. High quality wetlands are located
on both sides of the causeway and at the stream crossings. There are four reinforced concrete
box culvert (RCBCs) crossings along the project.
Vocal concurrence on the purpose and need (concurrence point 1) and the alternatives to
be studied (concurrence point 2) were reached by the meeting attendees.
Concurrence Point 1: The purpose of the proposed project is to provide a continuous multi-
lane facility between Elizabeth City and Belcross to meet future travel demands so that the traffic
capacity and efficiency on US 158/NC 34 will be improved. Widening the existing facility will
also improve safety along the subject section of US 158/NC 34. Without these improvements,
the existing facility will operate at a level of service (LOS) F between Elizabeth City and NC 343
and a LOS E for the remainder of the project in the design year 2020.
Concurrence Point 2: It was agreed that NCDOT will study and provide cost estimates for the
following alternatives:
Please refer to the attached vicinity map for location of the different sections.
Section A: 1. symmetrical widening vs. widening to the north
2. 5-lanes with curb and gutter vs. 5-lanes with grass shoulders
The current design shows widening to the north with a proposed five-lane curb and gutter
facility. A request was made to study symmetrical widening due to an area of muck located on
the north side. Also, it was agreed to.study impacts and costs associated with grass shoulders
TIP Project No. R-2414

instead of curb and gutter. Causeway Park and George M. Wood Memorial Park are located on
both sides of the road in this section of the project. Elizabeth City officials will need to be
informed of any additional impacts to these parks if any changes are made to the current design.
Section B: A four-lane median divided facility with grass shoulders remains the proposed
typical section along the undeveloped causeway. The impacts associated with symmetrical
widening using two different side slope scenarios will be studied:
1. 2:1 side slopes with guardrail
2. 4:1 side slopes without guardrail
The division made a request to study the impacts associated with using 4:1 side slopes.
Two to one (2:1) side slopes require the installation of guardrail for safety due to the steepness of
the slope. Guardrail adds an additional 3 feet (1 meter) to the total footprint of the design. In
addition, problems with slope protection and stabilization occur when 2:1 side slopes are
constructed.
Section C: A five-lane facility with curb and gutter is proposed for this section of the project.
Symmetrical and "best fit" widening scenarios will be studied due to residential and commercial
development located on both sides of the road. Stormwater issues for water quality protection
will need to be addressed.
Four culvert crossings are located along this section of the project. All four culvert
crossings have wetlands located on both sides of the road. It was agreed to study the following
alternatives for each culvert crossing (see Figure 2 for locations of the culverts):
Culvert #1 (bay crossing): The existing 8' X 8' reinforced concrete box culvert (RCBC) will
need to be replaced. Associated impacts and costs for replacement with a bridge vs. a culvert
will be studied. The bridge needs to be as low as possible to minimize wetland impacts. Sawyer
Cemetery is located close to this culvert crossing. NCDOT has committed to avoid impacting
this cemetery.
Culvert #2 (tributary #3): The existing 12' X 14' RCBC will be retained and extended on both
sides (symmetrical widening).
Culvert #3 (tributary #2): The existing double-barrel 8' X 4' RCBC will be retained and
extended to the north due to the close proximity of the railroad south of the road.
Culvert #4 (tributary #1): The current design shows the construction of a new culvert on new
alignment north of the existing 15' X 4' RCBC. Symmetrical widening on existing location
needs to be studied due to the location of high quality wetlands on both sides of the road. If
symmetrical widening is not possible, crossing of the tributary and associated wetlands will need
to be bridged and the existing roadbed will need to be removed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Melba McGee, Office of Policy Development
FROM: Monica Swihartr;Water Quality Planning
SUBJECT: Project Review #94-0712; Scoping Comments - NC DOT
Proposed Improvements to US 158/NC 34 from Elizabeth City
to Belcross, TIP No. R-2414
The Water Quality Section of the Division of Environmental
Management requests that the following topics be discussed in the
environmental documents prepared on the subject project:
A. Identify the streams potentially impacted by the project. The
stream classifications should be current.
B. Identify the linear feet of stream channelizations/
relocations. If the original stream banks were vegetated, it
is requested that the channelized/relocated stream banks be
revegetated.
C. Number of stream crossings.
D. Will permanent spill catch basins be utilized? DEM requests
that these catch basins be placed at all water supply stream
crossings. Identify the responsible party for maintenance.
E. Identify the stormwater controls (permanent and temporary) to
be employed.
F. Please ensure that sediment and erosion and control measures
are not placed in wetlands.
G. Wetland Impacts
1) Identify the federal manual used for identifying and
delineating jurisdictional wetlands.
2) Have wetlands been avoided as much as possible?
3) Have wetland impacts been minimized?
4) Discuss wetland impacts by plant communities affected.
5) Discuss the quality of wetlands impacted.
6) Summarize the total wetland impacts.
7) List the 401 General Certification numbers requested from
DEM.

Melba McGee
April 27, 1994
Page 2
H. Will borrow locations be in wetlands? Borrow/waste areas
should avoid wetlands to the maximum extent practicable.
Prior to approval of any borrow/waste site in a wetland, the
contractor shall obtain a 401 Certification from DEM.
I. Did NCDOT utilize the existing road alignments as much as
possible? Why not (if applicable)?
J. To what extent can traffic congestion management techniques
alleviate the traffic problems in the study area?
K. Please provide a conceptual mitigation plan to help the
environmental review. The mitigation plan may state the
following:
1. Compensatory mitigation will be considered only after
wetland impacts have been avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent possible.
2. On-site, in-kind mitigation is the preferred method of
mitigation. In-kind mitigation within the same watershed
is preferred over out-of-kind mitigation.
3. Mitigation should be in the following order:
restoration, creation, enhancement, and lastly banking.
Written concurrence of 401 Water Quality Certification may be
required for this project. Applications requesting coverage under
our General Certification 14 or General Permit 31 will require

SUMMARY
1. Description of Action - The North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT), Division of Highways, proposes to widen US 158/NC
34 from Elizabeth City to Belcross in Camden County. For discussion purposes,
the project is divided into Sections A, B, and C (See Appendix A, Figure 2).
Section A commences at the existing four lanes in Elizabeth City and terminates
near the city marina in the vicinity of the undeveloped causeway area of the
project. Section B originates in the causeway area and extends to Havenwood
Drive (SR 1257). The surrounding area for Section B is mainly wetlands.
Section C then commences from Havenwood Drive to where US 158 and NC 34
separate at Belcross. The total length of the project is 8.6 kilometers (5.3 miles).
A five-lane, 20.4-meter (68-foot), face to face of curbs, curb and gutter
facility is proposed for Section A. This typical section provides for a 3.6-meter
(12-foot) center turn lane, two 3.6-meter (12-foot) inside travel lanes, and two
4.2-meter (14-foot) outside travel lanes. A four-lane, 15.6-meter (52-foot)
shoulder section is proposed for Section B. The typical cross-section for Section
B includes two 3.6-meter (12-foot) travel lanes in each direction with 1.2-meter
(4-foot) paved shoulders. Also, a 1.2-meter (4-foot) painted island is proposed for
the center of the roadway between opposite travel directions. Section C proposes
the same typical cross-section as Section A. The 0.6 meter (2-feet) of extra
pavement width is recommended. on each side of roadway in order to
accommodate bicycle traffic along the project.
2. ummary of Environmental Impacts - The proposed project will have a
positive overall impact on the area by improving traffic circulation and traffic
safety along US 158/NC 34. Most of the businesses in Camden County are
located adjacent to US 158/NC 34. The project will improve access to these
businesses.
The proposed project will require the relocation of one residence and four
businesses. No significant archaeological resources were found along the project.
However, two significant architectural sites were found. The first architectural
significant resource is the Creekmore Store, which is eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places will be impacted by the proposed improvement. The
Creekmore Store is located approximately 110 meters (0.682 mile) southwest of
the Belcross Road (SR 1145). In order to mitigate damages to this historic site,
NCDOT has coordinated with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The NCDOT, SHPO, and FHWA
agreed that the Creekmore Store can be relocated to the rear of the property away
from US 158/ NC 34. Therefore, a no adverse effect determination has been
rendered by the SHPO provided NCDOT relocates the Creekmore Store in
accordance with criteria set forth between the NCDOT and SHPO [see Appendix
G for Programmatic (4f)] to the rear of the property away from US 158/NC 34.
The second historic architectural site is the Sawyer Graveyard, which is located
approximately 100 meters (330 feet) southwest of Havenwood Drive (SR 1257).
The NCDOT, FHWA, and SHPO agreed the Sawyer Graveyard is eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places and will not be adversely affected by this
project (See Concurrence Form in Appendix Q. The project will also impact two
public parks; George M. Wood Memorial Park and Causeway Park (See
Appendix A, Figure 2). Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluations regarding each
park are included in Appendix H. There may be some erosion and siltation during
construction, but strict adherence to erosion control measures will minimize the
impacts. Long-term impacts to water quality are not expected as a result of the
proposed improvements. Construction of the proposed project will impact
approximately 6.27 hectares (15.5 acres) of wetlands and 20.3 hectares (50.17
acres) of plant communities. The NCDOT will mitigate wetland losses as well as
adhere to Best Management Practices during and after construction. The
proposed project is not likely to impact any endangered or threatened species.
Future noise levels are expected to increase 3 to 8 dBA. Temporary delays and
inconveniences may be experienced by motorists during construction; however,
these effects will be short term in nature.
3. Alternatives Considered No alternative alignments were studied for the
project. However, alternative widening scenarios were considered for Sections B
and C. For Section B, two alternatives were considered that would widen
US 158/NC 34 asymmetrically. Alternative 1B proposes to widen asymmetrically
east of the existing roadway while Alternative 2B proposes to widen US 158/
NC 34 asymmetrically west of the existing roadway. Alternative 2B is
recommended due to the fact impacts to wetlands are slightly less than impacts for
Alternative '1 B.
Since a historic property, the Creekmore Store, is located on Section C,
three alternatives that would either minimize or negate impacts were considered.
The alternatives are discussed in detail in Section V. It was concluded that
moving the Creekmore Store from its present location to the rear of the property -
would be the best alternative while widening symmetrically in the vicinity of the
Creekmore Store.
The "no build" alternative for the entire project was considered, but
rejected because of the need to increase the traffic carrying capacity along US
158/NC 34. Public transportation is not a viable alternative since there is no
public transportation system in Camden County.
4. Coordination - Several federal, state, and local agencies were consulted
during the preparation of this environmental assessment. Comments from the
following were received and considered during the preparation of this assessment:
Camden County Board of Commissioners
Elizabeth City Parks and Recreation
City of Elizabeth City
Camden County Public Schools
N. C. Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources
N. C. Department of Cultural Resources, Division of
Archives and History
N. C. State Clearinghouse Department of Administration
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
U. S. Department of the Commerce
U. S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IV
N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission
5. Actions Required by Other Agencies - North Carolina Department of
Transportation is cognizant that both wetlands and surface water impacts are
anticipated from the construction of the proposed project. The North Carolina
Department of Transportation will consult with the appropriate agencies in
accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401). Also, due
to the amount of wetland acreage to be impacted by this project, NCDOT, will
apply to the Army Corps of Engineers for a Section 404 Permit. The NCDOT
will submit applications to the Corps of Engineers for these permits after final
design for the project is completed. In order to mitigate the wetland loss caused
by this highway improvement, NCDOT will prepare a mitigation plan and Best
Management Practices such as sedimentation control measures will be utilized
during construction to reduce erosion and sedimentation. A 401 Water Quality
Certification will be required prior to construction.

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways,
proposes to widen US 158/NC 34 in Camden County from a two-lane roadway to a
multi-lane facility. The total length of the project is approximately 8.6 kilometers (5.3
miles). For discussion purposes, the project is divided into Sections A, B, and C (see
Appendix A, Figure 2). The recommended typical cross-section for Section A is a
five-lane, 20.4-meter (68-foot) face to face of curbs, curb and gutter section. Section B
proposes to widen US 158/NC 34 to a four-lane, 15.6-meter (52-foot) shoulder section
with 1.2-meter (4-foot) paved shoulders within a a 2.4-meter (8-foot) usable shoulder
width for fill sections and a 2.7-meter (9-foot) usable shoulder width for cut sections.
Also, a 1.2-meter (4-foot) painted island is proposed for the center of the roadway
between opposite travel directions. Section C proposes to widen US 158/NC 34 to the
same typical cross-section as Section A.
The subject project is included in the 1998-2004 Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP). The estimated project cost in the TIP is $18,600,000, which includes
$4,800,000 for right of way, $10,300,000 for construction, $1,000,000 for prior years
costs, and $1,500,000 for post year (beyond the year 2004) construction costs. Section A
is scheduled for right of way acquisition in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 1998 and
construction in FFY 2000. Sections B and C are scheduled for right of way acquisition in
FFY 2001 and construction FFY 2003.
II. NEED FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT
A. Purpose of Project
US 158 is a major east-west route in northeastern North Carolina. The portion of
US 158 studied in this report serves as a radial route into Elizabeth City from smaller
towns and rural areas located to the east and it also serves as a connector between the
recreation areas of the Outer Banks and the large population centers served by US 17.
The eastern portion of the project provides direct access to homes, schools, churches and
businesses of Camden and Belcross.
Draft EA August 1997
2
B. Thoroughfare Plan
US 158 is a Proposed Critical Connector in the North Carolina Strategic Corridor
System, and the western portion of the project is classified as a Major Thoroughfare in
the Elizabeth City Thoroughfare Plan. US 158 is classified as a Minor Arterial in the
North Carolina Functional Classification System and is a Federal-Aid Road. US 158 is
also included in the Intrastate System and is scheduled for improvement to a multi-lane
facility from Winston-Salem to Whalebone.
C. Economic Benefits
Most of the businesses in Camden County are currently located alongside
US 158/NC 34. The proposed improvement will provide economic benefits by
improving traffic flow and safety in the vicinity of businesses. The improved access to
the area, savings in operating costs, reduced accident potential, reduced travel time, and
general improvement in the ease and convenience of travel will benefit the local
community, as well as the state.
D. Traffic/Truck Volumes
1996 Average Daily Traffic Volumes (ADT) along this project vary from a low of
5700 vehicles per day (vpd) to a high of 16,000 vpd. In the year 2020, these volumes are
expected to vary from 10,800 vpd to 32,800 vpd over the length of the project (See
Appendix A, Figures 3A and 3B). With the present traffic volumes, US 158/NC 34 is
operating at Level of Service E from Elizabeth City through the NC 343 intersection at
Camden, and Level of Service D for remaining portion of the project. If no
improvements were made to NC 158/NC 34, the roadway is expected to operate at Level
of Service F from Elizabeth City through the NC 343 intersection at Camden, and Level
of Service E for remainder of the project. The proposed improvements to US 158/NC 34
will improve traffic conditions to Level of Service D from Elizabeth City to Country
Club Road (SR 1139) and Level of Service C or better throughout the planning period for
the remainder of the project.
E. Accident Studies
During the period from March 1, 1994 to February 28, 1997, a total of 109
accidents were reported on the studied portion of US 158. This resulted in an accident
rate of 108.44 accidents per 100 million vehicle miles (ACC/100MVM), which is below
the statewide average of 282.20 ACC/100MVM for all rural, two-lane US routes. There
were two fatalities during the period, and 44 accidents resulted in injuries. The primary
accident type was rear-end collisions with slowing or stopping vehicles. The proposed
multi-lane cross-section should reduce the potential for this type of accident. "
III. EXISTING ROADWAY INVENTORY
A. Existing Roadway
The existing cross-section on US 158/NC 34 consists of a 6.6-meter (22-foot)
paved roadway with 3.6-meter (12-foot) unpaved shoulders on Sections A and B. 1.2 to
1.8-meter (4 to 6-foot) unpaved shoulders exist on Section C. At Country Club Road
(SR 1139), Upton Road (SR 1140), and NC 343, the pavement has been widened to add
left-turn lanes. The existing right-of-way width is generally 45 meters (150 feet) wide for
Sections A and B and 30 meters (100 feet) wide for Section C. There are a few locations
along US 158/NC 34 in the Camden-Belcross area where the right-of-way is reduced to
approximately 9 meters (30 feet) from the center line.
B. Existing Streets
The proposed project alignment will involve the following existing streets:
1) Havenwood Drive (SR 1257)
2) Country Club Road (SR 1139)
3) Upton Road (SR 1140)
4) Morrisette's Road (SR 1244)
5) NC 343
6) Gumberry Road (SR 1240)
7) Belcross Road (SR 1145)
8) NC 34
C. Existing Cross-Sectio
Existing streets along the project alignment have the following cross-sections:
1) Havenwood Drive (SR 1257) - 6.4-meter (20-foot) shoulder section with
1.8-meter (6-foot) unpaved shoulders
2) Country Club Road (SR 1139) - 5.5-meter (18.4-foot) shoulder section
with 2.4-meter (8-foot) unpaved shoulders
3) Upton Road (SR 1140) - 6.4-meter (21.3-foot) shoulder section with
2.0-meter (6.6-foot unpaved shoulders)
1
4) Morrisette's Road ( SR 1244) - 5.4-meter (18-foot) shoulder section with
2.0-meter (6.6-foot) unpaved shoulders
5) NC 343 - 5.4-meter (18-foot) shoulder section with 2.0-meter (6.6-foot)
unpaved shoulders
4
6) Gumberry Road (SR 1240) - 6.1-meter (20.3-foot) shoulder section with
2.0-meter (6.6-foot) meter unpaved shoulders with
7) Belcross Road (SR 1145) - 6.1-meter (20.3-foot) shoulder section with
2.0-meter (6.6-foot) unpaved shoulders
8) NC 34 - 6.0-meter (20-foot) shoulder section with 2.0-meter (6.6-foot)
unpaved shoulders ,.
D. Right-of-Way
The existing right-of-way width of all streets intersecting the project is 18 meters
(60 feet).
E. Drainage Structures
There are four reinforced concrete boxed culverts (RCBCs) located along the
project. The first culvert is located at a stream crossing at a tributary of the Pasquotank
River located approximately 120 meters (400 feet) west of Havenwood Drive (SR 1257).
This existing structure is a single barrel .2.4 m x 2.4 m (8 ft, x 8 ft;)RGB.. The next
culvert is located at another tributary to the Pasquotank River approximately 0.6 km (0.4_
miles) east of NC 343. The existing drainage structure at this site is a single barrel 3.7 m1l,
x 4.2 m (12-A. x 14 ft.) RCBC. -The third culvert is located at a tributaryof Sawyer
Creek, which crosses US 158/NC 34 approximately 1.2 km (0.8 mi.) east of NC 343. The
existing drainage structure at this location is a double-barrel, 2.4 in x 1.2 m (8 ft. x 4 ft.)
RCBC. The last culvert is located at another tributary of Sawyers Creek, which crosses
just east of the US 158/NC 34 split. The existing drainage structure at this location is a
single-barrel 4.6 in x 1.8 in (15 ft x 6 ft) RCBC.
F. Speed Limits
The present speed limit along US 158/NC 34 from Elizabeth City toward Camden
is 88.5 km/hr (55 mph). The 88.5 km/hr (55 mph) speed limit reduces to 56.3 km/hr (35
mph) through the NC 343 intersection at Camden and increases back to 88.5 km/hr (55
mph) for a short distance before reducing to 72.4 km/hr (45 mph) through Belcross.
G. Intersections and Type of Control
All roads intersecting the project are at-grade and stop sign controlled except NC
343, which is a signalized intersection.
H. Railroad Crossings
There are two railroad crossings on the proposed project. The project crosses the
Chesapeake and Albemarle Railroad in Camden, then parallels the railroad on the west
side, and then crosses the railroad a second time in Belcross. Both of these crossings are
protected by signals and gates. Presently two trains per day utilize these crossings,
leading to an exposure index of 56,600 in Camden and 21,600 in Belcross in the design
year. These indices are high enough to warrant consideration of a grade separation at
each of these locations.
I. Utilities
The following utilities are located within the project corridor: electricity
(Carolina Power and Light), phone (Carolina Telephone and Telegraph), and water
(Elizabeth City).
J. Project Terminals
At the western project terminal, US 158/NC 34 is a multi-lane divided
cross-section. There are two lanes in the eastbound direction and three lanes in the
westbound direction. The third lane is a left-turn lane onto Water Street, which is just
across the Pasquotank River in downtown Elizabeth City. Just west of Water Street, US
158 narrows to a 15.6-meter (52-foot) curb and gutter cross-section. At the eastern
project terminal, US 158 narrows to a 6.0-meter (20-foot) paved roadway with 3.6 meter
(12-foot) unpaved shoulders.
IV. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE RECOMMENDED ALIGNMENT
A. Length of Project
The total proposed project length is approximately is 8.6 kilometers (5.3 miles)
long. The length of Section A is approximately 1.8 kilometers (1.1 miles), Section B, 1.8
kilometers (1.1 miles), and Section C, 5.0 kilometers (3.1 miles).
B. Design Speed Proposed
The proposed design speed for Section A and Section C is a minimum of 80
km/hr (50 mph). For Section B, the proposed design speed is a minimum of 100 km/hr
(60 mph). Design speed is a correlation of the physical features of a highway which
influence vehicle operation and reflects the degree of safety and mobility desired along a
highway.. Design speed is not to be interpreted as the recommended or posted speed.
6
C. Cross-Section
The proposed project is divided into three sections. Section A proposes a
five-lane, 20.4-meter (68-foot), face to face of curbs, curb and gutter facility (See
Appendix A, Figure 5A). A four-lane, 15.6-meter (52-foot) roadway, with 1.2-meter (4-
foot) paved shoulders within 3.6-meter (12-foot) usable shoulders is proposed for Section
B (See Appendix A, Figure 513). Section C proposes the same typical cross-section as
Section A.
D. Right-of-Way
Due to the amount of existing commercial development, it is recommended that
the proposed improvements for Sections A and B be constructed within 24 meters (80
feet) of right-of-way. Section C is 30 meters (100 feet), which is typical for five-lane curb
and gutter sections.
E. Access Control
No control of access is proposed along the project.
F. Railway Work Required
The project will involve two railroad crossings on Section C. The project crosses
the Chesapeake and Albemarle Railroad in Camden, then parallels the railroad on the
west side, and then crosses the railroad a second time in Belcross. Both of these
crossings are protected by signals and gates. Two trains per day currently utilize these
crossings, leading to an exposure index of 56,600 in Camden and 21,600 in Belcross in
the design year. These indices warrant consideration of a grade separation but a grade
separation is not proposed. Due to the high cost of providing these grade separations, the
increased disruption, and the fact that only 2 trains per day use these crossings, grade
separations are not recommended.
G. Landscaping
In accordance with the NCDOT Highway Landscape Planting Policy, funding for
landscaping is included in the construction cost estimate for this project; no special
landscaping is proposed as part of this project.
H. Parking
Parking will neither be provided for nor permitted along the project.
I. Sidewalks
Sidewalks are not proposed as part of this project.
7
J. Bicycles
0.6 meter (2 feet) of extra pavement width on each side of the roadway has been
added through the curb and gutter portions of the project in order to accommodate
bicycles with wide outside lanes. In the shoulder portion of the project, 1.2-meter (4-
foot) paved shoulders are recommended to accommodate bicycles.
K. Drainage Structures
All four reinforced concrete boxed culverts will be extended to coincide with
widening of the roadway.
L. Speed Zones
The speed limits on US 158/NC 34 will not exceed 72 km/h (45 mph) for curb
and gutter sections and 88 km/hr (55 mph) for shoulder sections.
M. Level of Service
The proposed improvements to US 158/NC 34 will improve the level of traffic
service to Level of Service D from Elizabeth City to Country Club Road (SR 1139)
throughout the planning period, and Level of Service C or better for the remainder of the
project.
N. Intersection Treatment and Type of Control
All intersections along the project will be at grade and stop sign controlled except
for the two railroad crossings and NC 343. Signals and gates are proposed for the two
crossings. The cost of these improvements is estimated to be $160,000. This cost is
included in the estimated construction cost of the project. The NC 343 intersection will
remain signalized.
0. Estimated of Costs
Construction $12,800,000*
Right-of-way $ 4.800.000**
Total $17,600,000
* Includes engineering and contingencies.
* * Includes relocation, acquisition and utility costs.

V. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
A. Highway Improvement Alternatives
The recommended alignment proposes to widen US 158/NC 34 from a two-lane
roadway to a multi-lane facility in Camden County. The project extends from Elizabeth
City to Belcross and is divided into three sections for discussion purposes. Section A
commences at the existing four lanes in Elizabeth City and terminates in the vicinity of
the undeveloped causeway area of the project. Section B, which is mainly wetlands,
originates just east of George Roper and Son Plumbing and ends at Havenwood Drive _
(SR 1257). Section C extends from Havenwood Drive to where US 158 and NC 34
separate at Belcross. (See Appendix A, Figure 2). Since the project involves the
improvement of an existing highway, no alternative corridors were studied.
Section
A five-lane, 20.4-meter (68-foot) face to face of curbs, curb and gutter
facility is proposed for Section A. The typical cross-section for Section A will
have a 3.6-meter (12-foot) center turn lane, two 3.6-meter (12-foot) inside travel
lanes, and two 4.2-meter (14-foot) outside travel lanes in each direction (See
Appendix A, Figure 5A). The length of Section A is approximately 1.8
kilometers (1.1 miles).
2. Section B
A four-lane, 15.6-meter (52-foot) shoulder section is proposed for Section
B.. The typical cross-section for this section of the project consists of two
3.6-meter (12-foot) inside travel lanes, and two 3.6-meter (12-foot) outside travel
lanes in each direction. A 1.2-meter (4-foot) painted island is proposed for the
center of the roadway between opposing directions of traffic flow. This
cross-section also includes 1.2-meter (4-foot) paved shoulders within a 2.4-meter
(8-foot) usable shoulder width for fill sections and a 2.7-meter (9-foot) usable
shoulder width for cut sections (See Appendix A, Figure 5B). A four-lane
roadway is recommended for Section B since this area will likely remain
undeveloped due to the amount of wetlands. Therefore, no center left turn lane is
required for this section. The length of Section B is approximately 1.8 kilometers
(1.1 miles).
Two alignment alternatives were considered for Section B. Alternate 1 B
proposes to widen US 158/NC 34 asymmetrically east of the existing roadway.
Alternate 2B (Recommended) proposes to widen US 158/NC 34 within the limits
of Section B asymmetrically west of the existing roadway. Alternate 2B is
recommended since it impacts slightly less wetlands.
9
3. Section
Section C proposes to widen US 158/NC 34 to a five-lane, 20.4-meter
(68-foot), face to face of curbs, curb and gutter facility. The typical cross-section
for Section C consists of a 3.6-meter center turn lane, two 3.6-meter (12-foot)
inside travel lanes, and two 4.2-meter (14-foot) outside travel lanes (See
Appendix A, Figure 5A). The length of Section C is approximately 5.0 kilometers
(3.1 miles).
For Section C, two alternatives that would impact the Creekmore Store
property and one alternative that would avoid impacting the Creekmore Store
property were investigated. The begin point for the each of these alternatives on
Section C is approximately 200 meters (660 feet) south of the Belcross Road
(SR 1145) intersection and terminates at the end of the project.
Alternative 1 C (Recommended) proposes to widen US 158/NC 34 within
the limits described above symmetrically from the existing centerline of the road.
This alternative will relocate one residence and will impact the Creekmore Store
property. However, NCDOT proposes to move the Creekmore Store from its
present location approximately 6 meters (20 feet) east toward the rear of the
property. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and State Historic
Preservation Office concur with relocating the Creekmore Store (See Concurrence
Form in Appendix C).
Alternative 2C proposes to widen the previously specified limits of
US 158/NC 34 asymmetrically by shifting the alignment 2.5 meters (8.2 feet)
west of the existing centerline of the roadway. Alternative 2C is rejected since it
would require the relocation of 2 residences along with the Creekmore Store,
unless the store was moved as with Alternative 1 C.
Alternative 3C proposes to widen US 158/NC 34 asymmetrically by
utilizing the edge of pavement on the east side of the existing roadway which is
adjacent to the Creekmore Store property. Alternative 3C is rejected since it
would require the relocation of more residences located on the west side of
US 158/NC 34.
B. Public Transportation
The County of Camden does not have a public transportation system at the
present time. The privately owned automobile is the major form of transportation for the
residents. The development of a public transportation system is not considered to be a
prudent alternative to the widening of US 158/NC 34 that will accommodate future traffic
volumes and improve safety.
10
C. "No Build" Alternative
The "no build" alternative was considered, but rejected since the project will
provide a safe, more efficient route in this area.
VI. LAND USE PLANNING
A. Scope and Status of Planning
The proposed widening is located within the jurisdiction of Camden County. It
traverses the unincorporated communities of Camden and Belcross, which are governed
by Camden County officials. The County and Coastal Resources Commission adopted
its general planning document, 1,986 Camden County Land Use Update, in 1988. The
County.also enforces a zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations.
B. Existing Land Use
The entire county is rural in character, with agricultural being the predominant
land use. Clusters of commercial and residential development are scattered throughout
the county, particularly along arterials such as US 158. Residential development is
concentrated near the Pasquotank River and at the various crossroad communities,
including Camden and Belcross. The Camden Community includes the Camden County
Courthouse and governmental complex, residences, a variety of commercial uses, and the
Camden County High School at the intersection of US 158 and NC 343.
Most of the land fronting the roadway from the Pasquotank.River to Camden
supports either residential or commercial development. Several water-based businesses
are located on the causeway to Elizabeth City, as well as Causeway Park and George M.
Wood Park which provide public access to the river. A commercial center, including a
post office, is located immediately south of NC 343 along US 158.
Between Camden and Belcross, the land use is primarily agricultural, although
businesses are scattered along the roadway. These businesses include a ready-mix
concrete plant, a mini-storage warehouse, a grain elevator, and the Watermark crafts
center. Belcross, like Camden, is a crossroads community with several small stores
mixed with single family residences. Many of the residential structures are located very
close to the existing right-of-way.
C. Future Land Use
According to the current land use plan, the county desires to maintain its rural
character, and is not actively pursuing industrial or large residential development. The
County does support growth in the service and retail sectors of its economy, and would
y

like to benefit from the tourists traveling to the Outer Banks. To that end, the County has
zoned much of the land adjacent to US 158 and feel that widening to a five-lane
cross-section will facilitate the commercial development along the roadway.
One Industrial district is located along US 158, just south of Belcross. Light
industrial uses will be permitted in this district, although no public water or sewer
facilities are available to the site at this time.
Other zoning districts include the Marine Commercial district on the causeway
leading to Elizabeth City, and a low density residential district along US 158 that ends
roughly at the Chesapeake and Albemarle Railroad. No residential densities greater than
one unit per half-acre are permitted in the County.
The Land Classification Map included in the land use plan categorizes the land
throughout the project area in the Community classification. This describes areas of
mixed use, low intensity development, commonly associated with rural crossroad
communities.
D. Farmland
The Farmland Protection Policy of 1981 requires all federal agencies to consider
the impact of land acquisition and construction projects on prime and important farmland
soils. Land which has been developed, or is planned for urban uses by the local
governing body is exempt from the requirements of the Act. Much of the proposed
improvement will occur within existing roadway right-of-way. The remaining areas have
been designated for development, particularly for high way commercial uses. Therefore,
no further consideration of potential impacts to farmland soils is required.
VII. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND THE
PROBABLE IMPACT OF THE PROJECT
A. Neighborhood Characteristics
Camden County is located in the northeastern section of the state and is bounded
by the state of Virginia, Albemarle Sound, Pasquotank, Gates, and Currituck counties.
Based on the 1990 U. S. Census Data taken from the Statistical Abstract Q North
Carolina Counties, Camden County has a population of 5,904. Racial composition of
Camden County consists of 4,388 whites and 1,516 nonwhites. The county is 100% rural
with a population density of 24.53 persons per square mile.
The neighborhood characteristics at the beginning of the proposed action consist
of residential and commercial development. Located on the northeast side of the bridge,
and on the north side of the existing highway facility is a mobile home and a large
residential dwelling. Just northeast of the residential dwelling and on the east side of
12
existing US 158/NC 34 are Marina Restaurant, Pelican Marine Supplies, George Wood
Memorial Park, A.B.C. Package Store, and the Causeway Marina. Fox Marine Services
and Pasquotank River Yacht Club are on the opposite side (west) of the existing highway
facility from those businesses formerly listed. The neighborhood characteristics become
more rural as the proposed project continues on its northeasterly course. After passing
the City Marina, and trees that line both sides of US 158/NC 34, George Raper and Son
Plumbing is located on the west side of the existing highway facility.
The proposed project, after passing some thickets of trees on both sides of the
existing highway facility, comes to a rural cluster on the west side of existing NC 158 and
US 34. The homes appear to be set back far enough from the proposed action to not be
adversely impacted. On the southeast side of the existing highway facility in the same
general area, and northeast of Country Club Road are some commercial establishments
intermixed with some residential dwellings.
In the rural cluster known as Camden is the site of Camden County High School.
The school is on the east side of US 158/NC 34. Directly across the existing highway
from Camden County High School are three or four residential dwellings and a cemetery.
Camden Court House and the U. S. Post Office are located also in this general vicinity.
The proposed project continues in a northeasterly direction through rural
neighborhoods and communities that are sparsely populated with residential and
commercial establishments at various intervals until it reaches Belcross.
Belcross is a rural cluster consisting of mixed residential and commercial
development.
B. Economic Factors
Camden County's economy is relatively low. The latest in-house economic data
of Camden County (November 1993) indicated that the county had 2,570 in the labor
force. Out of this figure, 2,470 persons were gainfully employed. This left an
unemployment total of 100 or 3.9 percent (Economic Data taken from Employment
Security document entitled (N. C. Preliminary Civilian Labor Force Estimates).
Camden County's dependence on Agricultural Development, like many other
counties in the state is changing. It is growing increasingly difficult to make financial
gains, or to even "break even". Therefore, diversification is the trend as people turn from
farming to other avenues to make a living. Therefore, many Camden Citizens find
themselves in places like Elizabeth City, Nags Head, and Norfolk, Virginia for
employment. Because of this commuting trend to various work places, the improvement
to US 158/NC 34 by widening will be a positive factor on the labor force community. By
the improvement of US 158/NC 34, workers going to and from their work places will
realize improvement in the realm of safety. In addition, workers will not have the
13
impediments of traffic slow down because of slow moving vehicles, therefore, reduced
fuel consumption and travel time should increase job travel efficiency.
C. Public Facilities
Due to the fact that the proposed action is surrounded by water, water sports are
popular recreational activities in the project area. This is more pronounced near the
r beginning of the proposed action where George M. Wood Memorial Park, Causeway
Park, Pasquotank River Yacht Club, and the city marina are located.
Other public facilities in the area consist of a cemetery in the rural cluster of
Camden, across US 158/NC 34 from Camden County High School, which is also along
the -proposed project site. In addition, the rural cluster of Camden has a U. S. Post Office
alongside this existing highway facility.
D. Section 4(f) Resources
Three Section 4(f) resources are located along the proposed project. Two of the
Section 4(f) resources are public parks; Causeway Park and George M. Wood Memorial
Park. The other Section 4(f) resource, the Creekmore Store has been ruled eligible for
listing in the National Register of Historic Places by the State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
Causeway Park is located on the north side of US 158/NC 34 approximately 45
meters (150 feet) east of the Pasquotank River Bridge. This park offers scenic views of
wetlands along the Pasquotank River. Causeway Park consists of approximately 300
meters (1,000 feet) of elevated boardwalk and four decks. Two of the decks are designed
to assist with canoe launching (See Appendix H). It is anticipated that the project will
impact approximately 0.4 hectare (1.0 acre) of Causeway Park. However, efforts were
made to minimize impacts by restricting the amount of required right-of-way for the five-
lane curb and gutter section proposed for Section A to 24 meters (80 feet). Impacts to
Causeway Park are unavoidable because avoiding the park would require the relocation
of several businesses located on the south side of US 158/NC 34 and also cause
additional impacts to George M. Wood Memorial Park. A new location alternative that
will avoid both parks would cause a substantial increase in the cost of the project. Also, a
new location alternative will cause more impacts to the natural environment.
George M. Wood Memorial Park is located approximately 75 meters (250 feet)
east of the Pasquotank River Bridge on the south side of US 158/NC 34. This park also
offers scenic views and access to the Pasquotank River. Wood Park consists of two
gazebos that are reached by crossing wetlands on an elevated boardwalk. There is also a
pier that extends into the river that is used by observers and fishermen (See Appendix H).
The proposed project will impact approximately 0.064 hectare (0.16 acre) of George M.
Wood Memorial Park. Impacts to Wood Memorial Park are unavoidable because
avoiding the park would cause additional impacts to Causeway Park. As stated earlier, a
14
new location alternative that will avoid both parks would cause a substantial increase in
the cost of the project and cause additional impacts to the natural environment.
The Creekmore Store is a historical Section 4(f) resource. The Creekmore Store
is located approximately 110 meters (0.682 mile) southwest of Belcross Road (SR 1145).
This historic structure is a narrow, one-story, gable-front, frame building with its gable
extended forward and supported on brick piers to form a canopy. The proposed project
will impact approximately 0.055 hectare (0.136 acre) of property on which the
Creekmore Store is located. Also, the proposed improvements would require the
relocation of the Creekmore Store. In order to mitigate damages to this historic site,
NCDOT has coordinated with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The NCDOT, SHPO, and FHWA agreed that
the Creekmore Store can be relocated to the rear of the property away from US 158/
NC 34. Therefore, a no adverse effect determination has been rendered by the SHPO
provided NCDOT relocates the Creekmore Store in accordance with criteria set forth
between the NCDOT and SHPO [see Appendix G for Programmatic (4f)] to the rear of
the property away from US 158/NC 34. More details regarding the description of the
Creekmore Store can be found in the Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation for Historic
Sites located in Appendix G.
E. Relocation of Individuals and Families Impact
"One of the unfortunate, but unavoidable, consequences of a modern highway
program ...is the necessary displacement of a comparatively small percentage of the
population for the greater good of the whole". The widening of US 158/NC 34 in
Camden County is expected to require the relocation of one residence and four
businesses. There may also be some proximity damages to dwellings, and residential
sites. "It is the policy of the NCDOT to ensure that comparable housing will be available
prior to construction of state and federally assisted projects. Furthermore, the North
Carolina Board of Transportation has the following three programs to minimize the
inconvenience of relocation:
It is the policy of the NCDOT to ensure that comparable replacement housing will
be available prior to construction of state and federally-assisted projects. Furthermore,
the North Carolina Board of Transportation has the following three programs to minimize
the inconvenience of relocation:
*Relocation assistance,
*Relocation moving payments, and
*Relocation replacement housing payments or rent supplement".
With the Relocation Assistance Program, experienced NCDOT staff will be
available to assist displacees with information such as availability and prices of homes,
apartments, or businesses for sale or rent and financing or other housing programs. The
Relocation Moving Payments Program, in general, provides for payment of actual
15
moving expenses encountered in relocation. Where displacement will force an owner or
tenant to purchase or rent property of higher cost or to lose a favorable financing arrange-
ment (in cases of ownership), the Relocation Replacement Housing Payments or Rent
Supplement Program will compensate up to $22,500 to owners who are eligible and
qualify and up to $5,250 to tenants who are eligible and qualify.
The relocation program for the proposed action will be conducted in accordance
f with the Federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies
Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-646), and/or the North Carolina Relocation Assistance Act
(GS-133-5 through 133-18). The program is designed to provide assistance to displaced
persons in relocating to a replacement site in which to live or do business. At least one
relocation officer is assigned to each highway project for this purpose.
The relocation officer will determine the needs of displaced families, individuals,
businesses, non-profit organizations, and farm operations for relocation assistance
advisory services without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The
NCDOT will schedule its work to allow ample time, prior to displacement, for
negotiations and possession of replacement housing which meets decent, safe, and
sanitary standards. The displacees are given at least a 90-day written notice after
NCDOT purchases the property. Relocation of displaced persons will be offered in areas
not generally less desirable in regard to public utilities and commercial facilities. Rent
and sale prices of replacement property will be within the financial means of the families
and individuals displaced and will be reasonably accessible to their places of
employment. The relocation officer will also assist owners of displaced businesses,
non-profit organizations, and farm operations in searching for and moving to replacement
property.
All tenant and owner residential occupants who may be displaced will receive an
explanation regarding all available options, such as (1) purchase of replacement housing,
(2) rental of replacement housing, either private or public, or (3) moving existing
owner-occupant housing to another site (if possible). The relocation officer will also
supply information concerning. other state or federal programs offering assistance to
displaced persons and will provide other advisory services as needed in order to minimize
hardships to displaced persons in adjusting to a new location.
The Moving Expense Payments Program is designed to compensate the displacee
for the costs of moving personal property from homes, businesses, non-profit
organizations, and farm operations acquired for a highway project. Under the
Replacement Program for Owners, NCDOT will participate in reasonable incidental
purchase payments for replacement dwellings such as attorney's fees, surveys, appraisals,
and other closing costs and, if applicable, make a payment for any increased interest
expenses for replacement dwellings. Reimbursement to owner-occupants for replacement
housing payments, increased interest payments, and incidental purchase expenses may
not exceed $22,500 (combined total), except under the Last Resort Housing provision.
16
A displaced tenant may be eligible to receive a payment, not to exceed $5,250, to
rent a replacement dwelling or to make a down payment, including incidental expenses,
on the purchase of a replacement dwelling. The down payment is based upon what the
state determines is required when the rent supplement exceeds $5,250.
It is a policy of the state that no person will be displaced by the NCDOT's state or
federally-assisted construction projects unless and until comparable replacement housing
has been offered or provided for each displacee within a reasonable period of time prior
to displacement. No relocation payment received will be considered as income for the
purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 or for the purposes of determining
eligibility or the extent of eligibility of any person for assistance under the Social
Security Act or any other federal law.
F. Social Impacts
The proposed improvement of US 1581US 34 by widening to a multi-lane facility
will have some positive social factors on the neighborhoods and communities along the
proposed project site, and the general public as well.
The proposed widening will enhance the movement of the traffic flow and
improve visibility. Motorists will have ample lanes to pass safely without having to take
chances that could be detrimental. In addition, accessibility to various residential,
commercial, recreational sites, and other established units along the proposed project
corridor will be improved. Emergency vehicles will be able to reach their destinations
with greater efficiency. Everyone will benefit from the proposed improvement through
safer conditions on the US 158/US 34 alignment.
The proposed action will not disrupt community cohesion, and interfere with the
accessibility of facilities and services. The project will not have a disproportionately high
and adverse human health and environmental effect on minority and low income
populations. Therefore, the project is in compliance with the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) and with Executive Order No. 12898 regarding environmental justice.
G. Cultural Resources
. This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified at 36 CFR Part
800. Section 106 requires that if a federally funded, licensed, or permitted project has an
effect on a property listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic
Places, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation be given an opportunity to
comment.
17
Architecturally Historic Resources
a. Methodology
This survey was conducted and report compiled by NCDOT in
accordance with the provisions of FHWA Technical Advisory T 6640.8A
(Guidance for Preparing and Processing Environmental and Section 4(f)
Documents); the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for
Archaeological and Historic Preservation (48 FR 44716); 36 CFR Part
800; 36 CFR Part 60; and Phase II (Abridged) Survey Procedures and
Report Guidelines for Historic Architectural Resources by NCDOT.
Camden County has not received a systematic survey of historic
architectural resources, but individual survey site files for properties in the
county were examined at the North Carolina State Historic Preservation
Office (NCSHPO) in Raleigh.
A NCDOT staff architectural historian surveyed the Area of
Potential Effect (APE) in January 1994, and two NCDOT staff
architectural historians conducted further investigation on May 10-11,
1994. Additional research was conducted at the Camden County Register
of Deeds and Tax Records Office, the Pasquotank-Camden Library in
Elizabeth City, and the North Carolina State Library in Raleigh. The
survey was conducted by car and on foot, and several property owners
were consulted.
b. Summary Findings of the Phase I Survey
The Phase I Survey of historic architectural resources identified
thirty-six (36) properties over fifty years of age located within the APE.
No properties listed on the National Register or on the State Study List are
located in the APE. On March 9, 1994 representatives from NCSHPO met
with representatives from NCDOT to review photographs and findings of
the identified properties. NCSHPO concurred with NCDOT's finding that
thirty-one (31) of the identified properties were not considered eligible for
the National Register. Five (5) properties were evaluated in the survey
report.
Several possibilities regarding the potential eligibility of the
historic architectural resources located in the APE were considered during
the course of the survey. The properties were evaluated as elements of a
National Register-eligible cultural landscape, as contributing resources to
any existing or potential historic districts, and for individual eligibility.
Background research on the project area and general history of the county
18
enabled the principal investigator to evaluate the historic architectural
resources within the context of the history of the area.
C. Addendum to Historic Architectural Resources Survev
An addendum was done to the Historic Architectural Resources
Survey Report to evaluate a gravesite found by Coastal Engineering and
Surveying, Inc. surveyors who were performing contract work for the
Design Services Unit of the NCDOT. The site was not previously
identified because it is obscured from US 158/NC34. The Sawyer
Graveyard, located approximately 100 meters (330 feet) southwest of
Havenwood Drive (SR 1257), contains the gravesites of three members of
the Sawyer family: Lemuel, Jr., Enoch, and Mary Sawyer. The Sawyer
family was prominent in Camden County with Lemuel Sawyer, Jr., a
playwright, being the most notable member. The NCDOT, FHWA, and
SHPO agreed the Sawyer Graveyard is eligible for the National Register
of Historic Places and will not impacted by this project (See Concurrence
Form in Appendix Q.
d. Conclusions
Two properties, the Creekmore Store and the Sawyer Graveyard
were found to be eligible for the National Register. The Creekmore Store
property was ruled eligible under Criterion A for commerce and Criterion
C for architecture. The Sawyer Graveyard was ruled eligible under
Criterion B for literature and Criterion C for graves. All other properties
that were studied were ruled not eligible for the National Register. The
State Historic Preservation Officer concurred with these findings (see
letter in Appendix Q.
2. Archaeological Resources
No significant archaeological resources were found within the Area of
Potential Effect (APE). Most of the project area was either under cultivation
(corn) or had been severely disturbed by the construction of water lines, telephone
lines, and residential and/or commercial structures. Although all available areas,
both within and immediately adjacent to the APE were subjected to a systematic
cultural resources survey, no archaeological resources were recorded during the
investigations. Therefore, additional archaeological investigations are not
warranted or recommended (See concurrence letter in Appendix Q.

19
H. Air Quality Analysis
Air pollution originates from various sources. Emissions from industrial and
internal combustion engines are the most prevalent sources. Other origins of common
outdoor air pollution are solid waste disposal and any form of fire. The impact resulting
from highway construction ranges from intensifying existing air pollution problems to
improving the ambient air conditions. The traffic is the center of concern when
determining the impact of a new highway facility or the improvement of an old highway
facility. Motor vehicles emit carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO), hydrocarbons
(HC), particulate matter, sulfur dioxide (SO ), and lead (Pb) (listed in order of decreasing
emission rate). Automobiles are considereAo be the major source of CO in the project
area. For this reason, most of the analysis presented is concerned with determining
expected carbon monoxide levels in the vicinity of the project due to traffic flow.
In order to determine the ambient CO concentration for the receptor closest to the
highway project, two concentration components must be used: local and background.
The local concentration is defined as the CO emissions from cars operating on highways
in the near vicinity (i.e., distances within 100 meters (333 feet)) of the receptor location.
The background concentration is defined by the North Carolina Department of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources as "the concentration of a pollutant at a point
that is the result of emissions outside the local vicinity; that is, the concentration at the
upwind edge of the local sources."
In this study, the local concentration was determined by the NCDOT Traffic
Noise/Air Quality Staff using line source computer modeling and the background
concentration was obtained from the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health
and Natural Resources (NCDEHNR). Once the two concentration components were
resolved, they were added together to determine the ambient CO concentration for the
receptor in question and to compare to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS)•
Automobiles are regarded as sources of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides emitted from cars are carried into the atmosphere
where they react with sunlight to form ozone and nitrogen dioxide. Area-wide
automotive emissions of HC and NO are expected to decrease in the future due to the
continued installation and maintenance of pollution control devices on new cars. Hence,
the ambient ozone and nitrogen dioxide levels in the atmosphere should continue to
decrease as a result of the improvements on automobile emissions.
The photochemical reactions that form ozone and nitrogen dioxide require several
hours to occur. For this reason, the peak levels of ozone generally occur 10 to 20
kilometers (6.2 to 12.4 miles) downwind of the source of hydrocarbon emissions. Urban
areas as a whole are regarded as sources of hydrocarbons, not individual streets and
` highways. The emissions of all sources in an urban area mix together in the atmosphere,
and in the presence of sunlight, the mixture reacts to form ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and
20
other photochemical oxidants. The best example of this type of air pollution is the smog
which forms in Los Angeles, California.
Automobiles are not regarded as significant sources of particulate matter and
sulfur dioxide. Nationwide, highway sources account for less than 7 percent of
particulate matter emissions and less than 2 percent of sulfur dioxide emissions.
Particulate matter and sulfur dioxide emissions are predominantly. the result of
non-highway sources (e.g., industrial, commercial, and agricultural). Because emissions
of particulate matter and sulfur dioxide from automobiles are very low, there is no reason
to suspect that traffic on the project will cause air quality standards for particulate matter
and sulfur dioxide to be exceeded.
Automobiles without catalytic converters can burn regular gasoline. The burning
of regular gasoline emits lead as a result of regular gasoline containing tetraethyl lead
which is added by refineries to increase the octane rating of the fuel. Newer cars with
catalytic converters burn unleaded gasoline eliminating lead emissions. Also, the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has required the reduction in the lead
content of leaded gasolines. The overall average lead content of gasoline in 1974 was 2
grams per gallon. By 1989, this composite average had dropped to 0.01 grams per gallon.
In the future, lead emissions are expected to decrease as more cars use unleaded fuels and
as the lead content of leaded gasoline is reduced. The Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990 make the sale, supply, or transport of leaded gasoline or lead additives unlawful
after December 31, 1995. Because of these reasons, it is not expected that traffic on the
proposed project will cause the NAAQS for lead to be exceeded.
A microscale air quality analysis was performed to determine future CO
concentrations resulting from the proposed highway improvements. "CAL3QHC - A
Modeling Methodology For Predicting Pollutant Concentrations Near Roadway
Intersections" was used to predict the CO concentration at the nearest sensitive receptor
to the project.
Inputs into the mathematical model to estimate hourly CO concentrations
consisted of a level roadway under normal conditions with predicted traffic volumes,
vehicle emission factors, and worst-case meteorological parameters. The traffic volumes
are based on the annual average daily traffic projections. The traffic volume used for the
CAL3QHC model was the highest volume within any alternative. Carbon monoxide
vehicle emission factors were calculated for the year of 1993 and the design year of 2016
using the EPA publication "Mobile Source Emission Factors" and the MOBILESA
mobile source emissions computer model.
The background CO concentration for the project area was estimated to be 1.9
parts per million (ppm). Consultation with the Air Quality Section, Division of
Environmental Management, N.C. Department of Environment, Health, and Natural
Resources indicated that an ambient CO concentration of 1.9 ppm is suitable for most
suburban/rural areas.
21
The worst-case air quality receptors were determined to be receptor #9 for the
build scenario and receptor #72 for the no-build scenario. The "build" and "no-build"
one-hour CO concentrations for the nearest sensitive receptor for the years of 1993 and
2016 are shown in the following table.
One Hour CO Concentrations (PPM)
Nearest Build
Sensitive
Receptor 1993 2016
R-9 3.0 3.2
Nearest No-build
Sensitive
Receptor 1993 2016
R-72 3.3 4.2
. Comparison of the predicted CO concentrations with the NAAQS (maximum
permitted for 1-hour averaging period = 35 ppm; 8-hour averaging period = 9 ppm)
indicates no violation of these standards. Since the results of the worst-case 1-hour CO
analysis is less than 9 ppm, it can be concluded that the 8-hour CO level does not exceed
the standard. See Tables Al, A2, A3 and A4 for input data and output.
The project is located in Camden County, which has been determined to be in compliance
with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. 40 CFR Part 51 is not applicable, because the
proposed project is located in an attainment area. This project is not anticipated to. create any
adverse effects on the air quality of this attainment area.
During construction of the proposed project, all materials resulting from clearing
and grubbing, demolition or other operations will be removed from the project, burned or
otherwise disposed of by the contractor. Any burning will be done in accordance with
applicable local laws and ordinances and regulations of the North Carolina SIP for air
quality in compliance with 15 NCAC 2D.0520. Care will be taken to insure that burning .
will be done at the greatest practical distance from dwellings and not when atmospheric
conditions are such as to create a hazard to the public. Burning will only be utilized
under constant surveillance. Also during construction, measures will be taken to reduce
the dust generated by construction when the control of dust is necessary for the protection
and comfort of motorists or area residents.

Highway Traffic Noise/Construction Noise Analysis
This analysis was performed to determine the effect of the proposed project on
noise levels in the immediate project area (see Appendix E, Figure N1). This
investigation includes an inventory of existing noise sensitive land uses and a field survey
of ambient (existing) noise levels in the study area. It also includes a comparison of the
predicted noise levels and the ambient noise levels to determine if traffic noise impacts
can be expected resulting from the proposed project. Traffic noise impacts are
determined from the current procedures for the abatement of highway traffic noise and
construction noise, appearing as Part 772 of Title 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
If traffic noise impacts are predicted, examination and evaluation of alternative noise
abatement measures for reducing or eliminating the noise impacts must be considered.
1. Characteristics of Noise
Noise is basically defined as unwanted sound. It is emitted from many
sources including airplanes, factories, railroads, power generation plants, and
highway vehicles. Highway noise, or traffic noise, is usually a composite of
noises from engine exhaust, drive train, and tire-roadway interaction.
The magnitude of noise is usually described by its sound pressure. Since
the range of sound pressure varies greatly, a logarithmic scale is used to relate
sound pressures to some common reference level, usually the decibel (dB). Sound
pressures described in decibels are called sound pressure levels and are often
defined in terms of frequency weighted scales (A, B, C, or D).
The weighted-A scale is used almost exclusively in vehicle noise
measurements because it places most emphasis on the frequency range to which
the human ear is most sensitive (1,000-6,000 Hertz). Sound levels measured
using A-weighting are often expressed as dBA. Throughout this report,
references will be made to dBA, which means an A-weighted decibel level.
Several examples of noise pressure levels in dBA are listed in Table N I.
Review of Table N 1 indicates that most individuals in urbanized areas are
exposed to fairly high noise levels from many sources as they go about their daily
activities. The degree of disturbance or annoyance of unwanted sound depends
essentially on three things:
1) the amount and nature of the intruding noise,
2) the relationship between the background noise and the intruding
noise, and
3) the type of activity occurring where the noise is heard. -
In considering the first of these three factors, it is important to note that
individuals have different hearing sensitivity to noise. Loud noises bother some
23
more than others and some individuals become aroused to anger if an unwanted
noise persists. The time patterns of noise also enter into an individual's judgement
of whether or not a noise is objectionable. For example, noises occurring during
sleeping hours are usually considered to be much more objectionable than the
same noises in the daytime.
With regard to the second factor, individuals tend to judge the annoyance
of an unwanted noise in terms of its relationship to noise from other sources
(background noise). The blowing of a car horn at night when background noise
levels are approximately 45 dBA would generally be much more objectionable
than the blowing of a car horn in the afternoon when background noises might be
55 dBA.
The third factor is related to the interference of noise with activities of
individuals. In a 60 dBA environment, normal conversation would be possible
while sleep might be difficult. Work activities requiring high levels of
concentration may be interrupted by loud noises while activities requiring manual
effort may not be interrupted to the same degree.
Over a period of time, individuals tend to accept the noises which intrude
into their lives, particularly if the noises occur at predicted intervals and are
expected. Attempts have been made to regulate many of these types of noises
including airplane noises, factory noise, railroad noise, and highway traffic noise.
In relation to highway traffic noise, methods of analysis and control have
developed rapidly over the past few years.
2. Noise Abatement Criteria
In order to determine that highway noise levels are or are not compatible
with various land uses, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has
developed noise abatement criteria and procedures to be used in the planning and
design of highways. These abatement criteria and procedures are set forth in the
aforementioned Federal reference (Title 23 CFR Part 772). A summary of the
noise abatement criteria for various land uses is presented in Table N2. The Leq,
or equivalent sound level, is the level of constant sound which in a given situation
and time period has the same energy as does time varying sound. In other words,
the fluctuating sound levels of traffic noise are represented in terms of a steady
noise level with the same energy content.
T
3. Ambient Noise Levels
Ambient noise measurements were taken in the vicinity of the project to
determine the existing background noise levels. The purpose of this noise level
information was to quantify the existing acoustic environment and to provide a
24
base for assessing the impact of noise level increases occurring at receptors along
the project.
The existing roadway and traffic conditions were used with the most
current traffic noise prediction model in order to calculate existing noise levels for
comparison with the noise level actually measured. The calculated existing noise
levels were determined to be in the range of 0.5 to 3.3 dBA of the noise levels
actually measured. Differences in dBA levels can be attributed to "bunching" of
vehicles, low traffic volumes, and actual vehicle speeds versus the computer's
"evenly-spaced" vehicles and single vehicular speed. The ambient noise
measurement sites and the corresponding existing Leq noise levels are presented
in Figure N2 and Table N3, respectively.
4. Procedure for Predicting Future Noise Levels
The prediction of highway traffic noise is a complicated procedure. In
general, the traffic situation is composed of a large number of variables which
describe different cars driving at different speeds through a continual changing
highway configuration and surrounding terrain. Obviously, to assess the problem
certain assumptions and simplifications must be made.
The procedure used to predict future noise levels in this study was the
Noise Barrier Cost Reduction Procedure, STAMINA 2.0 and OPTIMA (revised
March, 1983). The BCR (Barrier Cost Reduction) procedure is based upon the
FHWA Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model (FHWA-RD-77-108). The BCR
traffic noise prediction model uses the number and type of vehicles on the planned
roadway, their speeds, the physical characteristics of the road (curves, hills,
depressed, elevated, etc.), receptor location and height, and, if applicable, barrier
type, barrier ground elevation, and barrier top elevation.
In this regard, it is to be noted that only preliminary alignment was
available for use in this noise analysis. The proposed project is to widen the
existing two lane roadway to multi-lane undivided facility. The proposed
roadway was modeled assuming no special noise abatement measures would be
incorporated. Only those existing natural or man-made barriers were considered.
The roadway sections and proposed intersections were assumed to be flat and
at-grade. Thus, this analysis represents "worst-case" topographic conditions. The
noise predictions made in this report are highway-related noise predictions for the
traffic conditions during the year being analyzed.
T
Peak hour design and Level-of-Service (LOS) C volumes were compared,
and the volumes resulting in the noisiest conditions were used with proposed
posted speed limits. Thus, during all other time periods, the noise levels will be
no greater than those indicated in this report.
25
The STAMINA 2.0 computer model was utilized to enable the
determination of the number of land uses (by type) which, during the peak hour in
the design year 2020, would be exposed to noise levels approaching or exceeding
the FHWA noise abatement criteria and those land uses predicted to expect a
substantial noise increase. The basic approach was to select a receptor location
such as 7.5, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, and 480 meters (25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, and
1600 feet) from the center of the near traffic lane (adaptable to both sides of the
roadway). The location of this receptor was determined by the projected traffic
volume along the proposed project. The result of this procedure was a grid of
receptor points along the project. Using this grid, noise levels were calculated for
Y
each identified receptor.
The Leq traffic noise exposures associated with this project are listed in
Appendix E, Table N4. Information included in these tables consist of listings of
all receptors in close proximity to the project, their ambient and predicted noise
levels, and the estimated noise, level increase for each.
The maximum number of receptors in each activity category that are
predicted to become impacted by future traffic noise is shown in Table N5
according to the section. These are noted in terms of those receptors expected to
experience traffic noise impacts by approaching or exceeding the FHWA NAC or
by a substantial increase in exterior noise levels. However, no receptor is
expected to experience a substantial increase in their exterior noise.levels. Other
information included in Table N5 is the maximum extent of the 72 and 67 dBA
noise level contours. This information should assist local authorities in exercising
land use control over the remaining undeveloped lands adjacent to the roadway
within local jurisdiction. For example, with the proper information on noise, the
local authorities can prevent further development of incompatible activities and
land uses with the predicted noise levels of an adjacent highway.
5. Traffic Noise Impacts and Noise Contours
Traffic noise impacts occur when the predicted traffic noise levels either:
[a] approach or exceed the FHWA noise abatement criteria (with "approach"
meaning within 1 dBA of the Table N2 value), or [b] substantially exceed the
existing noise levels. The NCDOT definition of substantial increase is shown in
the lower portion of Table N2. Consideration for noise abatement measures must
be given to receptors which fall in either category.
In accordance with NCDOT Traffic Noise Abatement Policy, the
federal/state governments are no longer responsible for providing noise abatement
measures for new development which building permits are issued within the noise
impact area of a proposed highway after the Date of Public Knowledge. The Date
of Public Knowledge of the location of a proposed highway project will be the
approval date of CEs, FONSIs, RODs, or the Design Public Hearing, whichever
26
comes later. For development occurring after this public knowledge date, local
governing bodies are responsible to insure that noise compatible designs are
utilized along the proposed facility.
The maximum number of receptors in each activity category that are
predicted to become impacted by future traffic noise is shown in Table N5. These
are noted in terms of those receptors expected to experience traffic noise impacts
by approaching or exceeding the FHWA NAC or by a substantial increase in
exterior noise levels. Under Title 23 CFR Part 772, there are 45 impacted
receptors due to highway traffic noise in the project area. The maximum extent of
the 72 and 67 dBA noise level contours are 16 and 32 meters (53 to 106 feet),
respectively, from the center of the proposed roadway, as shown in Table N5.
This information should assist local authorities in exercising land use control over
the remaining undeveloped lands adjacent to the roadway within local
jurisdiction. For example, with the proper information on noise, the local
authorities can prevent further development of incompatible activities and land
uses with the predicted noise levels of an adjacent highway.
Table N6 indicates the exterior traffic noise level increases for the
identified receptors in each roadway section. Predicted noise level increases for
this project range from +3 to +8 dBA. When real-life noises are heard, it is
possible barely to detect noise level changes of 2-3. dBA. A 5 dBA change is
more readily noticeable. A 10 dBA change is judged by most people as a
doubling or a halving of the loudness of the sound.
6. Traffic Noise Impact Analysis
Traffic noise impacts occur when the predicted traffic noise
levels either: [a] approach or exceed the FHWA noise abatement criteria (with
"approach" meaning within 1 dBA of the Table N2 (Appendix D) value), or [b]
substantially exceed the existing noise levels. The NCDOT definition of
substantial increase is shown in the lower portion of Table N2. Consideration for
noise abatement measures must be given to receptors which fall in either category.
There are 17 impacted receptors in the project area. However, it should be noted
that 13 impacts are due to -Y- Line contributions.
a. Highway Alignment
Y
Highway alignment selection involves the horizontal or vertical
orientation of the proposed improvements in such a way as to minimize
impacts and costs. The selection of alternative alignments for noise
abatement purposes must consider the balance between noise impacts and {
other engineering and environmental parameters. For noise abatement,
horizontal alignment selection is primarily a matter of siting the roadway
27
at a sufficient distance from noise sensitive. areas. Changing the highway
alignment is not a viable alternative for noise abatement.
b. Traffic System Management Measures
Traffic management measures which limit vehicle type, speed,
volume and time of operations are often effective noise abatement
measures. For this project, traffic management measures are not
considered appropriate for noise abatement due to their effect on the
capacity and level-of-service on the proposed roadway.
Noise Barriers
Physical measures to abate anticipated traffic noise levels can often
be applied with a measurable degree of success by the application of solid
mass, attenuable measures to effectively diffract, absorb, and reflect
highway traffic noise emissions. Solid mass, attenuable measures may
include earth berms or artificial abatement walls. The project will
maintain only limited control of access, meaning most commercial
establishments and residences will have direct access connections to the
proposed roadway, and all intersections will adjoin the project at grade.
For a noise barrier to provide sufficient noise reduction it must be
high enough and long enough to shield the receptor from significant
sections of the highway. Access openings in the barrier severely reduce
the noise reduction provided by the barrier. It then becomes economically
unreasonable to construct a barrier for a small noise reduction. Safety at
access openings (driveways, crossing streets, etc.) due to restricted sight
distance is also a concern. Furthermore, to provide a sufficient reduction,
a barrier's length would normally be 8 times the distance from the barrier
to the receptor. For example, a receptor located 15 meters (50 feet) from
the barrier would normally require barrier 120 meters (400 feet) long. An
access opening of 12 meters (40 feet) (10 percent of the area) would limit
its noise reduction to approximately 4 dBA (FUNDAMENTAL AND
ABATEMENT OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC NOISE, Report No. FHWA-
HHI-HEV-73-7976-1, USDOT, chapter 5, section 3.2, page 5-27).
In addition, businesses, churches, and other related establishments
located along a particular highway normally require accessibility and high
visibility. Solid mass, attenuable measures for traffic noise abatement
would tend to disallow these two qualities, and thus, would not be
acceptable abatement measures in this case.
28
7. "Do Nothing" Alternative
The traffic noise impacts for the "do-nothing" alternative were also
considered. If the proposed widening did not occur, 28 residences would
experience traffic noise impacts by approaching or exceeding the FHWA NAC.
Also, the receptors are anticipated to experience an increase in exterior noise level
increases the people working and living in the area.
8. Construction Noise
The major construction elements of this project are expected to be earth
removal, hauling, grading, and paving. General construction noise impacts, such
as temporary speech interference for passersby and those individuals living or
working near the project, can be expected particularly from paving operations and
from.the earth moving equipment during grading operations. Overall, considering
the relatively short-term nature of construction noise and the limitation of
construction to daytime hours, these impacts are not expected to be substantial.
The transmission loss characteristics of nearby natural elements and man-made
structures are believed to be sufficient to moderate the effects of intrusive
construction noise.
SUMMARY
Based on these preliminary studies, traffic noise abatement is not feasible or
reasonable and no noise abatement measures are proposed. This evaluation completes the
highway traffic noise requirements of Title 23 CFR, Part 772, and unless a major project
change develops, no additional reports are required for this project.
J. Ecological Analysis
Biotic Resources
a. Plant Communities
Five distinct plant community types occur within the immediate
area of the proposed project. Specific communities exhibited slight
variation dependent upon location and physical characteristics of the site
(soils, topography, human uses, etc.). Communities are described below.
NoKRrverine Swamp Forst are on level areas adjacent to
US 158/NC 34 along the causeway between Elizabeth City and Camden.
A portion of this area on Michelle Island has standing water or wet spots. s
The canopy is dominated by black willow (Sal ix nigra), sweetgum
(Liquidambar styraciflua), red maple (Acer rubrum), and water oak
(Quercus nigra). Boxelder (Acer negundo), bald cypress (Taxodium
29
distichum), and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) are also present. Sub-canopy
trees include the canopy species plus red mulberry (Morus rubra.),
sweetbay (Magnolia virginiana), winged sumac (Rhus copallina), and
sassafras (Sassafras albidum). The shrub layer is composed of privet
(Ligustrum spp.) and wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera). Vines present are
poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera
japonica), grape (Vitis spp.), five-fingers (Potentilla canadensis), and
trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans). Herbs present are cattail (Typha
spp.), skullcap (Scutellaria laterifloria), mint (Mentha piperita), sensitive
fern (Onoclea sensibilis), spike rush (Eleocharis spp.), panic-grass
(Panicum spp.), and sedges (Carex spp.).
Coastal P1ain Forested Headwatersare found along headwater
tributaries to Sawyers Creek crossed by the roadway project near Camden,
North Carolina. Canopy species include sycamore (Platanus occidentalis),
red maple, bald cypress, and sweetgum. Sub-canopy trees include the
canopy trees and live oak (Quercus virginiana), and box elder. The shrub
layer was dominated by wax myrtle. Herbs include arrow-arum (Peltandra
virginica), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), lizards tail (Saururus
cernuus), cattail, spike rush, panic-grass, and sedges. Spatterdock (Nuphar
luteum) filled most of the channel of a tributary to Sawyers Creek (Trib.3).
Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest are found scattered in small areas
along the roadway. The canopy trees include live oak, post oak (Quercus
stellata), scrubby post oak (Quercus margaretta), American elm (Ulmus
americana), willow oak (Quercus phellos), sweetgum, and loblolly pine.
Sub-canopy trees include the canopy trees and sourwood (Oxydendrum
arboreum), blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica), and black cherry (Prunus
serotina). Samplings present are sourwood, sweetgum, and loblolly pine.
Vines include greenbrier (Smilax spp.), grape, and poison ivy.
This community classification includes disturbed areas adjacent to
.the roadside margins, residential and commercial developments in the
vicinity of the project. This area is characterized primarily by invasive
vines, grasses and herbs including: poison ivy, Japanese honeysuckle,
Carolina geranium (Geranium carolinanum), fescue grass (Festuca spp.),
broomsedge (Andropogon spp.), horseweed (Conyza canadensis), and
plantain (Plantago spp.). Canopy trees present in manicured lawns of
residential areas include loblolly pine, hickory (Carya spp.), and eastern
white pine (Pinus strobus).
Agricultural land is found adjacent to the existing roadway along
Section C of the project. The agricultural land includes soil which is
cultivated for corn (Zea spp.) and soybean (Glycine max). Herbs present
on the row margins include Carolina geranium, plantain, and five fingers.
30
Impacts on plant communities are reflective of the relative abundance of
each system present in the study area. It should be noted that estimated
impacts were derived using the entire proposed right of way. Project
construction often does not require the entire right of way and therefore,
actual impacts may be less. The following table summarizes potential
plant community impacts which could result from the proposed roadway
project.

Impacts to plant communities are similar for Alternatives 1 B and
2B. Non-Riverine Swamp Forest occur along both sides of the existing
roadway east of Elizabeth City and Coastal Plain Forested Headwaters are
found along creek channels. The-loss.-.of Non ,Riverine Swamp Forest;
habitat is significant dd is likely to reduce'the numberaof plant species
which serve as shelter, nesting and foraging habitat far numerous species
of fish and wildlife.
b. Wildlife Communities
The project area consists of a combination of agricultural,
woodlands, residential, commercial and urban/disturbed areas. Clearing
and conversion of tracts of land for the existing roadway and for
agricultural and residential uses has eliminated some cover and protection
for many indigenous wildlife species nearby the project area. The
remaining natural plant communities in the area, particularly the

31
Non-Riverine Swamp Forest and associated ecotomes, do serve as
valuable habitat.
This wet hardwood forest has all the necessary components (food,
water, protective cover) for mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.
Sighting or evidence (tracks, scat, burrows, nests, etc.) for Virginia
opossum (Didelphis virginiana) was observed. Mammals typical for this
area are the gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), gray fox (Urocyon
cinereoargenteus), mink (Mustela vison) and raccoon (Procyon lotor).
The observed bird species are typical of a coastal and rural settings
where a patchwork of habitat types are available. Species encountered
above and nearby US 158-NC 34 include common crow (Corvus
brachyrhynchos), mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), great blue heron
(Ardea herodias), red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus), and
gallinules (Florida gallinule).
. Reptiles and amphibians typical of these communities include the
eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis), Carolina anole (Anolis
carolinensis), yellowbelly slider (Chrysemys scripta), eastern box turtle
(Terrapene carolina), spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata) and Fowler's Toad
(Bufo woodhousei).
The Pasquotank River supports several species of fish (See N.C.
Division of Marine Fisheries letter dated July 15, 1994 in Appendix A).
Commercial and recreational fishery resources in the Pasquotank River
include Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus) and spot (Leitstomus
xanthurus). Anadromous alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) and blueback
herring (Alosa aestivalis) would use wetland areas within the project area
as habitat. Street et al. (1975) reported running-ripe female and spawning
activity of blueback herring in Knobbs Creek east of the proposed project
area. The area between the mouth of the New Begun Creek to above the
US 17 bridge crossing (an area which includes the proposed study area)
provides spawning areas for blueback herring and alewife (Street et al.
1975). Similarly, Winslow (1989) reported spawning areas of blueback
herring in Sawyers Creek at the SR 1200 and NC 343 crossings, and US
17 crossing on Knobbs Creek. The proposed project area is also nearby
these spawning sites.
NCDOT acknowledges the importance of anadromous fish and
recq i1.es the importance of protecting spawning areas. Consequently,
I?CDOT will coordinate closely with the Division.of,Marine Fisheries
during the design of hydraulic crossings and wiltAdhere to appropriate
construction moratoria in these areas.
32
A bay (see Bay on Figure 4, Appendix A) off of the Pasquotank
River provides a conduit for fish species to pass through a culvert under
the existing roadway. Five tributaries of Sawyers Creek are crossed by the
project, and also provide habitat for fish and benthic macroinvertebrates.
Various small minnows and several waterstriders (Gerris spp.) were
observed in these small creeks.
The Pasquotank River and tributaries of Sawyers Creek also
provide suitable benthic and riparian habitat for amphibians and aquatic
reptiles such as the eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens), southern
dusky salamander (Desmognathus auriculatus), frogs (Rana spp.), and
several snake species.
Habitat affected by the proposed action include Non-Riverine
Swamp Forest, Coastal Plain Forested Headwaters, Mesic Mixed
Hardwood Forest, Urban/Disturbed, and Agricultural areas. Non-Riverine
Swamp Forest, Coastal Plain Forested Headwaters, and Mesic Mixed
Hardwood Forest habitat provides excellent habitat for a diversity of
plants and animals. The Urban/Disturbed and Agricultural areas are
utilized by opportunistic plant species such as greenbrier and trumpet
creeper or plantain, and mobile species such as rodents, lizards and snakes
that can recover quickly from construction impacts. The proposed action
can potentially have substantial affects on the aquatic ecosystem unless
strict sediment control measures are taken. Of significance is the bay of
the Pasquotank River which flows by culvert beneath the existing
roadway. Sedimentation controls in this area is imperative to prevent
sediments from entering the Pasquotank River. Also, sediment control
measures must be imposed in the Non-Riverine Swamp Forest to
minimize impacts to this habitat. Additionally, the disturbance of creek
beds and sedimentation from the banks of tributaries for Sawyers Creek
could affect aquatic life and spawning areas, both near the project site as
well as down stream reaches.
2. Physical Resources
a. & its
Camden County is located in the Lower Coastal Plain-Pamlico
System. Topography is characterized by distinctive combination of broad,
gently undulating plains separated by sounds. Elevations in the immediate
project area range from 1 meters (3.2 feet) along the Pasquotank River to
2.5 meters (8.2 feet) near Camden.
The county is underlain primarily with sedimentary rock in
Camden County. Local changes in subsurface geology are common, and
33
large, homogeneous masses of a single rock type are rare. Soils in the
project vicinity include the presence of Dorovan mucky peat, Yeopim silt
loam, Chapanoke silt loam, Perquimans silt loam, Tomotley fine sandy
loam, Augusta fine sandy loam, Munden sandy loam, Pasquotank silt
loam, State fine sandy loam, and Altavista fine sandy loam. Dorovan
mucky peat, Perquimans silt loam, and Tomotley fine sandy loam are
classified as a hydric soils or has hydric soils as a major component.
b. Water Resources
The US 158-NC 34 project crossesa bay of the Pasquotank River
(BAY) and five tributaries of Sawyers Creek (TRIB.1, TRIB.2, TRIB.3,
TRIBA, and TRIB.5) east of Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The
Pasquotank River flows to the south into the Albemarle Sound.
Classifications are assigned to waters of the State of North
Carolina based on the existing or contemplated best usage of various
streams or segments of streams in the basin (DEM 1993). The Pasquotank
River is class SCE, indicating tidal salt waters which are suitable for aquatic
life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, and secondary recreation.
, indicating waters for aquatic
Sawyers Creek and tributaries are class C SW,
life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and
agriculture with a supplemental classification for swamp waters (Sw)
which have low velocities and other natural characteristics which are
different from adjacent streams.
The DEM National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) reports the Grady Primary School, Elizabeth City WTP, River
City Seafood & Quality Foods, Co., Elizabeth City State University/
Johnston Hall, and Central Elementary School discharge into the
Pasquotank River, Knobbs Creek or Sawyers Creek within 6.45 kilometers
(4 miles) of the project area.
No High Quality Waters (HQW), Outstanding Resource Waters
(ORW), WS I or WS II Waters occur within 175 in (584 ft) of the project
site. As detailed above, the project she dies within an Anadrom s Fish
5,ng; Area°
The Benthic Macroinvertebrate Ambient Network (BMAN)
addresses long term trends in water quality at fixed monitoring sites by the
sampling for benthic macroinvertebrates. Certain organisms are sensitive
to very subtle changes in water quality. Good water quality is associated
with high taxa richness (the number of different types of organisms) and
the presence of many intolerant species. Water quality degradation
34
gradually eliminates the more sensitive species and leads to a community
structure quite different from that in an unstressed waterbody.
A BMAN sampling station was sampled near the project site on
US 158 for the Pasquotank River at Elizabeth City on July 1983 and
reported a total taxa of 35 and a Ephemeroptera + Plecoptera + Trichoptera
(EPT) taxa of 1. Currently, there is no criteria for rating estuarine benthic
macroinvertebrate samples in North Carolina. However, a EPT taxa of 1
from a freshwater coastal stream would give a poor bioclassification
rating.
The tributaries to Sawyers Creek (TRIB.1, TRIB.2, TRIB.3,
TRIBA, TRIB.5) and the bay off of the Pasquotank River (BAY) were
examined where they cross the roadway project. The following table
contains waterbody characteristic information for the proposed roadway
project.

Short term impacts to water quality can be anticipated from
construction-related activities, which may increase sedimentation and
turbidity. The bay off of the Pasquotank River and swamp forest areas are
vulnerable because of the close proximity to the proposed project. Impacts
can be minimized by the use of best management practices, including
implementation of stringent erosion and sedimentation control measures
during construction.
Long term impacts to water resources are not expected if stringent
erosion and sedimentation control measures are adhered to during
construction. The new culverts will maintain the present flow to protect
stream and bay integrity. Increased runoff from roadway surfaces will be
partially mitigated by providing for vegetated road shoulders and limited
use of ditching where ever possible.

3. Jurisdiotional Topics
a. Summary of Impacts
Wetlands and surface waters fall under the broad category of "Waters of the
United States" as defined in 33 CFR 328.3, in accordance with provisions of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Surface waters and wetlands will be
impacted by project construction with the current project design. Eight:wetland sites.;
are distinguished along existing US 158-NC 34 (See Appendix A, Figure 4). The
SWAMP.E wetland site comprises swamp wetlands east of existing US 158-NC 34,
while SWAMP.W is swamp wetlands west of the existing roadway. Approximate
impacts to wetlands are listed below.

Wetland communities were identified using the criteria specified in
the 1987 "US Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual".
For an area to be considered a "wetland", the following three
specifications must be meet; 1) presence of hydric soils (low soil chroma
values), 2) predominance of hydrophytic vegetation, and 3) evidence of
hydrology within 12 inches of the surface for at least 5% of the growing
season, continuously.
b. Permits
Section 404 impacts to wetlands will occur. Construction at this project
will likely be authorized by provisions of an Individual Permit, due to the
length of fill in wetlands over 60 linear meters (200 linear feet), the
determination that tributary sites can be ruled adjacent and below headwater
status by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE).
A North Carolina Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Section
401 Water Quality Certification is also required. Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act requires that the state issue or deny water certification for any
federally permitted or licensed activity that may result in a discharge into
waters of the United States. Recent rule changes that are likely to effect the
proposed action include a requirement for wetland mitigation with a minimum
1:1 replacement ratio (renovation) for impacted wetlands. The issuance of a
37
401 permit from DEM is a prerequisite to issuance of a CAMA or Section 404
permit.
CAMA directs the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) to identify
and designate Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) in which uncontrolled
development might cause irreversible damage to property, public health and the
natural environment. CAMA necessitates a permit if the project meets all of
the following conditions: 1) it is located in one of the 20 counties covered by
CAMA; 2) it is in or affects an AEC designated by CRC; 3) it is considered
"development" under the terms of the Act, and; 4) it does not qualify for an
exemption identified by the Act or by CRC.
This project is.1ikely to Meer the_fo ?a g SEC. Estuarine Waters,
Public:-Trust, Coastal Wetland; and-Estuarine Shoreline. Estuarine Waters are
an AEC which CAMA defines as all the waters of the Atlantic Ocean within the
boundary of North Carolina and all the waters of the bays, sounds, rivers, and
tributaries there to seaward of the dividing line between coastal fishing waters
and inland fishing waters. This definition of estuarine waters was also set forth
in an agreement adopted by the WRC and the Department of Natural Resources
and Community Development. A Public Trust AEC includes all waters and
submerged lands in the coastal region where the public has rights of use/or
ownership, including rights of navigation .and recreation. This AEC covers all
lands underneath these waterways and the mineral and biological resources that
these submerged lands contain. A Coastal Wetland AEC is defined as any
marsh subject to occasional flooding by tides (including wind tides). Tidal
waters may reach the marsh by either natural or artificial watercourses. Coastal
Wetland AEC's, by definition, must contain certain plant species listed in the
CAMA regulations. Cattail which is present in the project area, is a plant
species listed in the CAMA regulations. An Estuarine Shoreline AEC includes
all shorelines within 23 meters (75 feet) landward of the mean high water level,
or normal water level, of estuarine waters has been designated an AEC. The
existing US 158-NC 34, the swamp area, and roadside areas are within 23 in
(75 ft) landward of the mean high water level in the project area.
This project will require a CAMA major development permit because
impacts to AEC's.are likely. The CAMA major development application form
can serve as an application for three other state permits and for permits from the
COE required by Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act and Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act. However, the final decision to allow the Division of
a Coastal Management to serve as the lead permit agency will be made by the
COE. If they concur, the COE will process the project impacts under
` Department of the Army General Permit No. 291. The state permits include: 1)
permit to excavate and/or fill; 2) easement in lands covered by water, and; 3)
401 Water Quality Certification.
38
C. Mitigation
Since this project is likely to be authorized under an Individual Permit,
mitigation for impacts to wetlands and surface waters will be required by the
COE. The State of North Carolina along with federal agencies require that
adverse impacts to coastal lands and waters be mitigated or minimized through
proper planning, site development, and creation or restoration of coastal
resources. A final determination regarding mitigation requirements will be
made in coordination with various environmental review agencies during the
final design phase of the project.
As stated previously, Section B is mostly wetlands. NCDOT will
minimize impacts to wetlands by widening to a four-lane shoulder section as
opposed to five lanes, and by widening asymmetrically to the west.
d. Avoidance
Avoidance mitigation examines all appropriate and practicable
possibilities of averting impacts to Waters of the United States. According
to a 1990 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and the COE, in determining "appropriate and
practicable" measures to offset unavoidable impacts, such measures should
be appropriate to the scope and degree of those impacts and practicable in
terms of cost, existing technology and logistics in light of overall project
purposes. Encroachment into and surface waters as a result of project
construction is inevitable in order to achieve the purpose and need of the
project.
Minimization
Minimization includes the examination of appropriate and
practicable steps to reduce the adverse impacts to Waters of the United
States. Implementation of these steps will be required through project
modifications and permit conditions. Minimization typically focuses on
decreasing the footprint of the proposed project through the reduction of
median widths, right of way widths, fill slopes and/or road shoulder widths.
Other practical mechanisms to minimize impacts to Waters of the United
States crossed by the proposed project include: strict enforcement of
sedimentation control BMP's for the protection of surface waters during the
entire life of the project; reduction of clearing and grubbing activity;
reduction/elimination of direct discharge into streams; reduction of runoff
velocity; re-establishment of vegetation on exposed areas, judicious
pesticide and herbicide usage; minimization of "in-stream" activity; and
litter/debris control. The five-lane curb and gutter typical cross-section for
Sections A and C will minimize impacts by limiting the amount of required
39
right-of-way. A four-lane shoulder section is proposed for Section B to
reduce impacts to wetlands.
f. Compensatory Mitigation
Compensatory mitigation is not normally considered until
anticipated impacts to Waters of the United States have been avoided and
minimized to the maximum extent possible. It is recognized that "no net
loss of wetlands" functions and values may not be achieved in each and
every permit action. Appropriate and practicable compensatory mitigation
is. required for unavoidable adverse impacts which remain after all
appropriate and practicable minimization has been required. Compensatory
actions often include restoration, creation and enhancement of Waters of the
United States. Such actions should be undertaken in areas adjacent to or
contiguous to the discharge site.
Authorizations under Nationwide Permits usually do not require
compensatory mitigation according to the 1989 MOA between the EPA and
the COE. Final decisions concerning compensatory mitigation rest with the
COE.
4. Rare and Protected Species
a. Federally Protected Species
Species with federal classifications of Endangered (E) or Threatened (T)
are protected under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (1978,
1979, 1982, and 1988 Amendments). Federal Species of Concern (FSC) do not
receive protection under the Act, but are mentioned due to potential
vulnerability. The following federally protected species are listed for Camden
County as of May 1, 1997:
American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) - T(S/A)
Dismal Swamp southeastern shrew ( r x longirostris fisheri) - T
Red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) - E
Brief descriptions of these organisms characteristics and habitat
requirements are provided below.
American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
Status: T(S/A)
Family: Alligatoridae
Listed: 1987
A very large lizardlike reptile with powerful jaws and large teeth, a long
and laterally compressed tail, 4 toes on hind feet and embedded bony plates
40
forming longitudinal rows of keeled dorsal armor. Historical records indicate
species is endemic to North Carolina south of Albemarle Sound. Resident
populations exists throuthout middle and lower coastal plain. Listing as
threatened by similarity of appearance implies that the status has been assigned
primarily to protect the American saltwater crocodile, an endangered resident of
Florida. Since skins of alligator and crocodile are so similar, crocodile skins
could be marketed as alligator unless controls were established.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
The sightings of alligators in Camden County is an extremel rare event.
Camden County lies at or above the northernmost limit of this species' range.
Only small hydraulic structure replacements will result from the proposal and
since this is a widening project, no suitable habitat zones will be effected. The
project will have no effect on the alligator.
Dismal Swamp southeastern shrew ( rex lon irg ostris fisheri)
Status: T
Family: Soricidae
Listed: 9/26/86
The Dismal Swamp southeastern shrew is a long-tailed shrew with a
long pointed nose, tiny eyes, small pinnae that are nearly concealed by soft
brownish pelage, and a tail that is more than half the head and body length.
The shrew is found in the Dismal Swamp region of southeastern Virginia and
northeastern North Carolina, and outside the Dismal Swamp in several
northeastern North Carolina counties. The Dismal Swamp Southeastern Shrew
is most abundant in mesic, 10- to 15-year old, mid-successional forested areas
with grassy or shrubby understories. It has also been found in recently clear-cut
and regenerating forests, young pine plantations, grassy and bushy roadsides,
young forests with shrubs and saplings, and mature pine and deciduous forests.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NOT LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT
A review of NC Natural Heritage Program revealed no records of this
species study area. However, suitable habitat for the Dismal Swamp
southeastern shrew (DSss) will be impacted by this project. Based upon the
current state of understanding of this species' (race's) distribution there are
indications that efforts to delist this species are underway within the Fish and
Wildlife Service. It is widely held now that the DSss' distribution includes r
most of eastern North Carolina to the piedmont and into parts of South
Carolina. This knowledge contrasts sharply with the previously-held view that
the organism was essentially restricted to the Dismal Swamp environs. This
historical view served as the basis for the "Threatened" status. Given that most
experts are supportive of a delisting remedy, it is reasonable to assume that
41
projects such as the one proposed are not likely to result in jeopardizing the
continued existence of the species. Under the circumstances, recognizing that
the organism is technically still listed, a reasonable biological conclusion is that
the project is Not Likely to Adversely Affect the species.
Red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis)
Status: E
Family: Picidae
Listed: 10/13/70
This federally Endangered woodpecker is found in scattered locations
throughout the southeast. The bird measures 18 to 20 cm (7.2 to 8 in) long with
a wing span ranging from 35 to 38 cm (14 to 15.6 in). The male has a small red
spot on each side of the head. Both males and females show a black cap and
stripe on the side of the neck. The throat is also black while the cheeks and
under parts are white. Black and white horizontal stripes are visible on the
back. Nesting habitat consists of open pine stands (minimum age 60 years) or
mixed pine/hardwood stands, (50 percent or more pine). Longleaf pine (Pi us
palustris) is most commonly used, but other species of southern pine are also
acceptable.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
No suitable habitat exists along the proposed project alternatives. Also,
a review of NC Natural Heritage Program data revealed. no records of this
species in the subject project study area. It can be concluded that project
construction will have no impact on the Red-cockaded woodpecker.
Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempi)
Status: E
Family:. Cheloniidae
Listed: 12/2/70
The Kemp's ridley sea turtle is a small turtle with a heart-shaped body,
usually broad, keeled carapace which is serrated behind the bridge. Adults
approach 56 cm (22 in) in carapace length and average about 36 kg (80 lbs).
The Kemp's ridley sea turtle inhabits shallow coastal and estuarine waters often
associated with red mangrove.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
The Kemp's ridley sea turtle does not nest or breed along the study area.
Also, a review of NC Natural Heritage Program data revealed no records of this
species in the subject project study area. An incidental passage of the turtle
42
through the study area is possible. It can be concluded that project construction
will have no impact on the Kemp's ridley sea turtle.
Loggerhead turtle ( are a carett
a)
Status: T
Family: Cheloniidae
Listed: 7/28/78
The Loggerhead turtle is a large turtle with a large head with blunt jaws.
Adults average about 91 kg (200 lbs). The Loggerhead turtle inhabits a large
range of marine, salt marshes, and inshore areas. The loggerhead nests on
beaches from North Carolina through Florida.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
A review of NC Natural Heritage Program data revealed no records of
this species in the subject project study area. An incidental passage of the turtle
through the study area is possible... It can be concluded that project construction
will have no impact on the Loggerhead turtle.
Green head turtle ( hel nia m as)
Status: T
Family: Cheloniidae
Listed: 7/28/78
The Green sea turtle is a large turtle which approaches 122 cm (4 ft) in
length and average about 200 kg (440 lbs). The Green sea turtle inhabits
shallow waters (except when migrating) inside reefs, bays and inlets. The
Green turtle nests on open beaches with a sloping platform which have minimal
disturbance.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
A review of NC Natural Heritage Program data revealed no records of
this species in the subject project study area. An incidental passage of the turtle
through the study area is possible. It can be concluded that project construction
will have no impact on the Green sea turtle.
b. Federal Species of Cocern
There is one Federal Species of Cocern listed for Camden County. The
Virginia Least Trillium (Trillium 12usillum var. virginianum) has a state status
of endangered. Suitable habitat is available within the project area for this
species. Surveys in these areas will be conducted prior to right-of-way
r
43
acquisition. Should populations be found, coordination with the Natural
Heritage Program will be undertaken.
Federal Species of Cocern are defined as taxa for which there is some
evidence of vulnerability, but for which there is not enough data to warrant a
listing of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed Endangered, or Proposed
Threatened at this time. These species are mentioned here for information
purposes, should they become federally protected in the future. Specific
surveys for any of these species were not conducted, nor were these species
observed during the site visit.
C. State Protected Species
Plant or animal species which are on the state list as Endangered (E),
Threatened (T), or Special Concern (SC) receive limited protection under the
North Carolina Endangered Species Act (G. S. 113-331 et seq.) and the North
Carolina Plant Protection Act of 1979 (G.S. 106-202. 12 et seq.). NC Natural
Heritage Program records indicate a record (July, 1958) for winged seedbox
( wi is alata), a Significantly Rare species (SR), occurs along U.S. 158 near
the proposed project study area, but possibly outside of the proposed
right-of-way.
K. Hazardous Materials
Five operational facilities and seven non-operational facilities with the potential
for underground storage tanks (USTs) were identified along the US 158 corridor during a
reconnaissance survey. The UST sites are described in detail in the Appendix D.
L. Geodetic Survey Markers
The proposed project will not impact any geodetic survey markers.
M. Construction Effects
Construction effects of the project will be temporary in nature. To minimize
potential adverse effects caused by construction, the following measures, along with
those already mentioned, will be utilized during the construction phase of the project.
1. Solid wastes created as a result of highway construction will be disposed
of in accordance with Section 802 of the NCDOT Standard Specifications.
2. Borrow pits and all ditches will be drained insofar as possible to alleviate
breeding areas for mosquitoes. In addition, care will be taken not to block
existing drainage ditches.
44
3. An extensive rodent control program will be established where structures
are to be removed or demolished in order to prevent the migration of rodents into
surrounding areas.
4. Any burning will be done in accordance with applicable local laws and
ordinances, along with regulations of the North Carolina Plan for Implementing
National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Burning will be done only on the .
right-of-way, under constant surveillance, with good atmospheric conditions, and
as remote from dwellings as possible.
5. The contractor shall maintain the earth surface of all waste areas, both
during the work and until the completion of all seeding and mulching or other
erosion control measures specified, in a manner which will effectively control
erosion and siltation.
6. NCDOT Best Management Practices for Protection of Surface Water shall
be followed during project construction in order to prevent siltation of nearby
streams.
7. Prior to the approval of any borrow source developed for use on this
project, the contractor shall obtain a certification from the N. C. Department of
Cultural Resources certifying that the removal of material from the borrow source
will have no effect on any known district, site building, structure, or object that is
included or eligible for inclusion in the National Register and Historic Places.
Neither waste sites nor borrow sites will be allowed in wetlands.
VII. COMMENTS AND COORDINATION

A Citizen's Informational Workshop was held on April 21, 1994 at Camden
County High School to obtain comments and/or suggestions about the project from the
public. Approximately 60 people attended to express their interest in the proposed
project. Some citizens expressed their opposition for the proposed project. Many were
people who live or own businesses adjacent to US 158/NC 34 and were not in favor of
losing property or possibly being relocated. One suggestion was to widen US 158/NC 34
to a three-lane facility. Another suggestion was to construct a facility on new location
that would bypass Elizabeth City that would decrease traffic along US 158/NC 34 in
Camden County.
VIII. BASIS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
On the basis of planning and environmental studies conducted for this project, it is
determined the proposed project will not have significant adverse effects upon the human
or natural environmental. Therefore, an Environmental Assessment is applicable for this
project.

This is in response to your letter dated March 16, 1994,
requesting comments on "US 158/NC 34, Elizabeth City to Belcross,
Widen Existing Two-lane Facility to Multi-lanes, T.I.P. No. R-2414,
State Project No. R-2414, State Project No. 8.T020401, Federal
Aid No. STP-158(2), Camden County" (Regulatory Branch Action ID
No. 199402124).
Our comments are from the U.S..Army Corps of Engineers (CE)
perspective and involve impacts to CE projects, flood plains, and
other environmental aspects,.primarily waters and wetlands. The
proposed road improvements would not impact any CE-constructed
navigation or flood control project.
The roadway is located in Camden County, which participates
in the National Flood Insurance Program. From a review of the
December 1985 Camden County Flood Insurance Rate Map, the road
is located in the 100-year flood plain of the Pasquotank River,
a detailed study stream with 100-year flood elevations determined
but no floodway defined. It also crosses a tributary to Sawyers
Creek, where the roadway forms the boundary between the detailed
and approximate study areas. Since the source of flooding would
be from wind tide surge, we expect that the proposed improvements
to US 158/NC 34 will not have a significant effect on flood plains.
However, we suggest that you coordinate with Camden County for
compliance with their flood plain ordinance. Our Regulatory Branch
has reviewed your letter and has the following comments.
i a. Please provide a map indicating all wetlands and waters
of the United States impacts associated with the proposed project.
-2-
b. Please provide information on wetlands and waters of the
United States, including impacts described in terms of acreage
(dimensions), location, and type.
R
c. It is recommended that the median or center lane be
eliminated through all wetlands and waters of the United States
crossings.
d. Wetlands and waters of the United States impacts associated
with borre.., and :taste areas should be identified.
If you have any questions concerning permits for this project,
please contact Mr. Henry Wicker, Washington Field Office, Regulatory
Branch, at [phone], extension 26.
We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this project. If
we can be of further assistance to you, please do not hesitate to
contact us.

This responds to your March 16, 1994, letter requesting our input
on issues of concern to the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) to be addressed in the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the
proposed widening of 5.6 miles of US 158/NC 34 from Elizabeth City
to Belcross in Camden County, North Carolina. We have reviewed the
information provided in your letter and offer the following
comments for your consideration.
Wetlands found on both sides of the highway in the project area are
associated with the Pasquotank River. These wetlands consist of
scattered pockets of emergent marsh vegetated with a variety of
fresh water species and cypress-tupelo wooded swamps.. The
Pasquotank River and its adjacent wetlands provide secondary
nursery habitat for a variety of commercially and recreationally
important fishery resources. Estuarine dependent species found in
the project area include Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
and spot (Leiostomus xanthurus). Anadromous alewife (Alosa
pseudoharengus) and blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis) also use
the project area as habitat. Our preliminary assessment indicates
that wetlands and fishery habitat losses associated with this
highway widening project will be substantial. Therefore, the EA
should address the following issues and information needs.
1. The EA should describe alternative highway alignments and
configurations considered to avoid and minimize wetland losses.
2. The EA should describe the location, species, and acreage of
wetlands potentially impacted by the alternatives considered.
3. The EA should describe the fishery resources found in the
project area and provide an assessment of the project's impacts on
these resources.
???uroswy?
i3
4. The EA should describe alternative highway construction
techniques that will minimize wetland losses. We recommend
bridging wetlands to the maximum extent practical to avoid loss of
these important resources.
5. The alternative analysis in the EA should demonstrate that the
recommended alternative also represents the least environmentally
damaging alternative.
6. If, after avoidance and minimization of wetland involvement,
the selected alternative requires unavoidable wetland losses, the
EA should provide a mitigation plan to compensate for wetlands
lost. Unless compensation for wetland losses is incorporated as a
part of the project, we will likely recommend against the issuance
of a Corps of Engineers' Section 404 permit for the project.
The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries and the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission biologists are excellent
sources of information concerning specific fishery resources in the
project area. A representative of our Beaufort Branch Office is
available to discuss NMFS concerns at any time. We encourage the
N. C. Department of Transportation to address wetland mitigation
early in the project planning process.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments.

SUBJECT: DOT EA Scoping for Improvements to US 158/NC 34 from Elizabeth City to
Belcross in Camden County
PROJECT: #94-0712
DUE DATE: 4-22-94
We anticipate some impacts to woodland as a result of this project. The EA should address
the following -
1. The total forest land acreage by types that would be taken out of forest production as
a result of new right-of-way purchases.
2. The productivity of the forest soils as indicated by the soil series that would be
involved within the proposed project.
3. The impact upon existing greenways within the area of the proposed project.
4. The provisions that the contractor will take to sell any merchantable timber that is to
be removed. This practice is encouraged to minimize the need for piling and burning
during construction. If any burning is needed, the contractor should comply with all
laws and regulations pertaining to debris burning.

5. The provisions that the contractor will take during the construction phase to prevent
erosion, sedimentation and construction damage to forest land outside the right-of-way
and construction limits. Trees outside the construction limits should be protected
from construction activities to avoid:
J
a. Skinning of tree trunks by machinery.
b. Soil compaction and root exposure or injury by heavy equipment.
C. Adding layers of fill dirt over the root systems of trees, a practice that impairs
root aeration.
d. Accidental spilling of petroleum products or other damaging substances over
the root systems of trees.
We would hope that the project would have the least impact to forest and related resources in
that area.

We are in receipt. of your March 30, 1994 memo concerning the
subject. I can advise you that this proposed project will occurr
within several CAMA AECs. These AEC CIs include Estuarine Shoreline,
Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Waters, Coastal Wetlands and other
wetlands. Development in these AEC' s would require a Major CAMA
Permit.
The actual roadway alignment will determmine, to a great extentent,
the degree of impact to the resources present. An Environmental
Assessment should be prepared to address these resources and
impacts.

We have received information concerning the above project from the State
Clearinghouse.
We understand that an architectural historian for the North Carolina Department of
Transportation has prepared a phase I historic architectural resources report for
the above project. We look forward to receiving the report and will provide our
comments following our review of it.
A review of our files indicates that there are no recorded archaeological sites
within the proposed project corridor. Further, it is our opinion that the section
from Elizabeth City to Camden has a low probability for containing significant
sites. However, the section from Camden to Belcross crosses terrain considered
to have a high probability for containing sites. We, therefore, recommend that the
NCDOT archaeologists conduct an inspection of the Camden to Belcross corridor
to determine whether significant archaeological sites are in the project's area of
potential effect.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966 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, please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley,

Thank you for your letter of July 22, 1994, transmitting the archaeological survey
report by John J. Mintz, North Carolina Department of Transportation
archaeologist, concerning the above project.
During the course of the survey no archaeological sites were located within the
project area. Mr. Mintz has recommended that no further archaeological
investigation be conducted in connection with this project. We concur with this
recommendation since this project will not involve significant archaeological
resources.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic

Thank you for your letter of October 27, 1994, transmitting the above
architectural survey report. In general the report meets our office's guidelines and
those of the Secretary of the Interior.
Thank you for your letter of transmitting the survey report by concerning the
above project.
For purposes of compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act, we concur. that the following property is eligible for the National Register of
Historic Places under the criterion cited:
Creekmore Store--Criterion A for commerce and Criterion C for architecture.
The following properties are determined not eligible for listing in the National
Register of Historic Places for reasons outlined in the report:
Upton House
Burfoot Cemetery
House (Belcross Bikes)
Sawyer's Tenant Houses (4)
There appear to be two omissions which we would like to address. These are a
clearly defined roadside boundary for the store, and a list summarizing the
eligibility opinions for the five properties which were evaluated in the report. With
regard to the boundary for the store, from the photographs we believe the edge of
the existing pavement should be used. This is not entirely clear from the sketch

It has come to our attention that the Historic Structures Survey Report for the
above project did not include the following property which is over fifty years old:
Store/Commercial Building, east side of US 158, adjacent to the Creekmore
Store, Belcross
We recommend that an architectural historian with the North Carolina Department
of Transportation evaluate this property for National Register eligibility and report
the findings to us.

This is in response to your letter dated March 16, 1994, asking
for information that would help you in evaluating potential
environmental impacts to the proposed widening of US 158/NC 34
from Elizabeth City to Belcross, North Carolina.
We have reviewed your letter and the attached map. The only
waterway close to this project is the Pasquotank River.
According to the map, it appears it will not be crossed by the
proposed widening.- If this is an incorrect reading and the
proposed widening does cross this waterway, you will need to
apply for a Coast Guard Bridge Permit since it is a navigable
water of the United States.
Since our area of concern centers around proposed bridge
projects, we have no comments to make at this time regarding
environmental impacts. If it is determined that this project
will cross the Pasquotank River, we will forward further comments
regarding environmental issues that should be evaluated in
relation to a proposed bridge project.
We appreciate the opportunity to comment prior to the preparation
of the Environmental Assessement. We are also requesting that if
the proposed widening crosses the Pasquotank River, that the
Coast Guard be listed-as a cooperating agency during the
preparation of the EA and all other environmental documents
related to the proposed project.
If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please
contact Ms. Linda L. Gilliam, Bridge Management.Specialist, at
[phone].
Sincerely,
ANN B. DEATON

Dear Mr. Graf:
Division of Archives and }
Jeffrey J. Crow, D
Thank you fir your letter of March 27, 1997, transmitting the historic structures
survey report by Jill Marie Lord concerning the above project.
For purposes of compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act, we concur that the following property is eligible for the National Register of
Historic Places under the criterion cited:
Enoch and Mary Sawyer Gravesite, northwest side of US 158-NC 34,
southwest of Havenwood Drive. The graves of Enoch Sawyer and his wife
Mary are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under
Criterion B for their association with Enoch Sawyer, a prominent planter and
politician in late-eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Camden County.
The graves meet Criterion Consideration C because they are the only
remaining property associated with the Sawyer family, and Criterion
Consideration B because despite the move, the graves retain their significant
association with the Sawyers. Because no marker identifies the likely grave
of Lemuel Sawyer, the property is not eligible for associations with him.
Due to the presence of graves in the construction area, we recommend that a North
Carolina Department of Transportation archaeologist revisit the site, delineate the
boundaries of the known graves, and identify the location of any unmarked graves
so they can be properly relocated.
The report in general meets our office's guidelines and those of the Secretary of the
Interior.
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.

Dear Mr. Graf:

L Jr
We understand that Tom Padgett of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation recently examined the Enoch and Mary Sawyer grave site, which
was determined eligible for the National Register under Criteria B and C on April
30, 1997. Since Mr. Padgett located a subterranean stone and depression
identifying the grave of Lemuel Sawyer, we concur that the western boundary for
the eligible property should be shifted approximately two feet to include the new
grave. Given verification of the presence of Lemuel Sawyer's grave, we concur
with the addendum's conclusion that the property is eligible for its associations
with him.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations

This report presents the results of a hazardous materials
evaluation conducted for the above referenced project.
The primary purpose of this report is to identify potential
environmental hazards such as: underground storage tanks,
hazardous waste sites, landfills, dumps and similar sites that
could cause delays in construction schedules or result in
environmental liabilities.
Methodology
A field reconnaissance survey was conducted along US 158 from
Elizabeth City to Belcross. A file search of all appropriate
federal and state agencies was conducted to determine if any
environmental hazards were present in the proposed project
corridor.
Underground Storage Tank (UST) Facilities
Based on our reconnaissance survey, we identified five (5)
operational facilities and six (6) non-operational facilities
with the possibility for underground storage tanks (USTs) along
t`e US 158 corridor.

Elizabeth City, NC Elizabeth City, NC
Facility I.D.: 0-004840
This facility is the site of groundwater incident #3541
where the soil and groudwater have been contaminated due to
a leaking UST. The owner of The Pelican Inn Marina has been
working with the DEM Groundwater Section in an attempt to
remediate the contamination, but has failed to complete this
task in accordance with the DEM guidelines. The DEM
registry shows that the USTs in question have been removed,
bicit they also show the existence of two (2) other gasoline
USTs (both 1000 gallons) on site. They have been in place
since March 28, 1980. To determine the location and
orietation of the USTs further field study will be required.
**** The last dated document (April 1, 1988) in the Groundwater
.Section's file suggests that further remediation of this
site by the owner is necessary. Therefore, this parcel
should be avoided if possible or encroachment minimized due
to the already present contamination and environmental
liability that the DOT will incurr.

A map showing the extent of the plume is enclosed. The
entire extent of the plume underneath the existing roadway
is not on the map, due to their inability to encroach upon
our right-of-way. Currently, the plume has extended onto the
existing right-.of-way and may continue to grow larger if
efforts to remediate the site are not expedited. Three (3)
USTs have already been removed from the site and two (2)
more (previously unknown) have been found in situ and are
shown on the enclosed map.
**** This area on the-project corridor should be avoided if at
all possible due to the presence of already contaminated
soil and other potentially expensive environmental
liabilities.

location of the USTs in reference to the centerline of
US 158 is unknown at this time but should not be a problem.
All of the USTs are of steel construction with no cathodic
protection. The 4000, and 9999 gallon USTs have been in
place since January 1, 1964, while the 5000 gallon UST since
November 27, 1991.
It is strongly recommended that all UST sites within this project
corridor be avoided by additional right-of-way acquisition.
Purchasing property with USTs allows for the possibility that UST
leakage will be present and require groundwater as well as soil
remediation. Such corrective actions could obligate DOT to years
of continual clean-up and untold dollars in expenses.
Landfills
The files of the Solid Waste Section, Division of Solid Waste
Management were consulted and no landfills were located in this
section of Camden County that should affect the project.

Other Potentially Contaminated Properties
The Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste Sections of the Division of
Solid Waste Management were consulted to ascertain whether any
unregulated dump sites or other potentially contaminated

US 158 - NC 34 from Elizabeth City to Belcross
Geotechnical Environmental Impact Study
Based on our review of the project corridor; other than large areas
of deep organic deposits, significant adverse effects to the geologic
regime are not anticipated as a result of this project. The proposed
improvements primarily consist of widening the existing two-lane
highway to a multi-lane facility from Elizabeth City to Belcross. The
length of the project is approximately 5.6 miles.
Physiography. Relief and Drainage
The project corridor is located within the Lower Coastal Plain
Physiographic Province. Land use within the proposed alignment
consists of woodland, cultivated fields, residential and commercial
development. Topography in the project area is nearly flat with
elevations ranging from 2 to 9 feet above sea level.
Geology and Soils
The.project area is underlain by Quaternary to Recent age sediments
deposited in marine and alluvial environments. An extensive (2t miles
wide) wooded flood plain bordering the Pasquotank River is present at
the beginning of the project. Soils within this flood plain consist
of 18 feet or more of very soft muck. Three other smaller flood
plains were encountered along the corridor which contain 4 to 16 feet
of very soft muck, organic silt and clay. The engineering
characteristics of the.flood plain sediments are very poor.
Embankment construction over these areas will require undercutting
and/or the incorporation of alternative methods. Typically, soils
along the upland areas of the project consist of 6 feet or more of
loose silty sand (A-2-4) and/or medium stiff clayey sandy silt (A-4)
with some relatively thin (2± feet in thickness) sandy clay (A-6,
A-7-6) layers. The upland soils generally exhibit good to fair
engineering properties. In areas where the silt-clay deposits are at
or near subgrade elevation, undercutting or other alternative
construction methods may be necessary.
r_"4_ WO
&A
-2-
Ground water along upland portions of the project typically lies
5 feet or more below the natural ground surface. In flood plain
areas, water is at or above the ground surface. •?
Natural Resources
No significant economic mineral resources other than sand deposits
are known to occur within the project corridor.
Cut and Fill
Roadway construction is expected to involve shallow cuts and fills
with appropriate drainage improvements.
Erosion Control
Soils within the project area present a slight to moderate
potential for erosion. Appropriate erosion control measures should be
utilized to avoid potential siltation problems.

accordance with 36 CFR Part 800, by the FHWA, the
SHPO, and as appropriate, the ACHP. X
3. Specific measures to minimize harm are described as follows:
Note: Any response in a box requires additional information prior to approval. Consult
Nationwide 4(f) evaluation.
The Creekmore Store, which is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, will be
impacted by the proposed project. The Creekmore Store is located approximately 110
meters (0.682 mile) southwest of the Belcross Road (SR 1145). The proposed project will
cause the Creekmore Store to be relocated and impact approximately 0.055 hectare (0.136
acre) of its surrounding property. Avoiding the Creekmore Store property will cause
residences on the opposite side of the roadway to be relocated. In order to mitigate
damages to this historic site, NCDOT has coordinated with the State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The NCDOT, SHPO,
and FHWA agreed that the Creekmore Store be moved to the rear of the property away
from US 158/NC34. Also, the property owner has been contacted and is in agreement with
the proposed mitigation measures to minimize harm.
The proposed project has been coordinated with the following (attach correspondence):
a. State Historic Preservation Officer -X--
b. Advisory Council on Historic Preservation
C. Property owner _X -
d. Local/State/Federal Agencies
e. US Coast Guard (for bridges requiring bridge permits)

SUMMARY AND APPROVAL
The project meets all criteria included in the programmatic 4(f) evaluation approved on December 23,
1986.
All required alternatives have been evaluated and the findings made are clearly applicable to this
project. There are no feasible and prudent alternatives to the use of the historic site.
The project includes all possible planning to minimize harm, and the measures to minimize harm will
be incorporated in the project.
All appropriate coordination has been successfully completed with local and state agencies.

planning to minimize harm X
2. Measures to minimize harm include the
following: (circle those which are
appropriate)
a. Replacement of lands used with lands
of reasonably equivalent usefulness
and location and of at least
comparable value.
b. Replacement of facilities impacted
by the project including sidewalks,
paths, benches, lights, trees, and
other facilities.
Oc Restoration and landscaping of
disturbed areas.
U Incorporation of design features and
habitat features, where necessary,
to reduce or minimize impacts to the
Section 4(f) property.
D Payment of the fair market value of
the land and improvements taken or
improvements to the remaining
Section 4(f) site equal to the fair
market value of the land and
improvements taken.
Uf. Additional or alternative mitigation
measures as determined necessary
based on consultation with the
officials having jurisdiction over
the parkland, recreation area, or
wildlife or waterfowl refuge.
A discussion of specific mitigation measures is provided as follows:
It is anticipated that the project will impact approximately 0.064 hectare (0.16 acre) of George M. Wood
Memorial Park. However, efforts were made to minimize impacts by restricting the amount of required right-of-way for
n the five-lane curb and gutter section proposed for Section A to 24 meters (80 feet). Impacts to Wood Memorial Park
are unavoidable because avoiding the park would cause additional impacts to Causeway Park. A new location
alternative that will avoid both Wood Park and Causeway Park would cause a substantial increase in the cost of the
c project and cause additional impacts to the natural environment.
Note: Any response in a box requires additional information prior to
approval. Consult Nationwide 4(f) evaluation.
The proposed project has been coordinated with the following (attach correspondence):
a. Officials having jurisdiction over the
Section 4(f) Land x
b. Local/State/Federal Agencies X
C. US Coast Guard
(for bridges requiring bridge permits )
d. DOI, if Section 6(f) lands are '?
involved
SUMMARY AND APPROVAL
The project meets all criteria included in the programmatic 4(f) evaluation approved on December 23, 1986.
All required alternatives have been evaluated and the findings made are clearly applicable to this project. There are no
feasible or prudent alternatives which avoid use of the Section 4(f) land.
The project includes all possible planning to minimize harm, and there are assurances that the measures to minimize
harm will be incorporated in the project.
All appropriate coordination has been successfully completed.

Re: Camden Causeway, US Hwy. 158
Dear Mr. Coleman:
The proposed widening of US Hwy. 158 from Elizabeth
city to Camden will impact two parks that are
located on the Camden Causeway. The sites are part
of the Elizabeth City Parks & Recreation's park
system that expands into Camden County.
This causeway, located east of the Pasquotank River,
is a narrow strip of land that provides access to
parks located on both the north and south sides of
US Hwy. 158.
George Wood Park, located on the south side of Hwy.
158, offers a scenic view and access to the
Pasquotank River. The park consists of two (2)
gazebos that are reached by crossing wetlands on an
elevated boardwalk. There is also a pier that
extends into the river that is used by observers and
fishermen. Roughly sir hundred (600) feet of
elevated boardwalk and pier make up this heavily
used public park. A parking lot adjacent to the
park is located about ten (10) feet of the right-of-
way. The entrance and exit to this parking lot make
use of the state right-of-way for traffic flow.
On the north side of the Causeway is the site of a
similar park commonly referred to as Causeway Park.
This park consists of a gravel parking lot (105' x
601), approximately one thousand (1,000) feet of
elevated boardwalk and four (4) decks (81x16').
This park offers scenic views of weltands along the
Pasquotank River. Two (2) of the decks are designed
to assist with canoe launching on one (1) of the
Albemarle canoe trails. The parking lot for this

``Serving the Fine Citizens of Elizabeth City,
Pasquotank County ..-nd Camden County"
park is located approximately twenty (20) feet north of the
right-of-way on Hwy. 158.. Both parks were constructed with
grants from the Dept. of Natural Resources and Community
Development's Coastal Resources Commission.
Please give these public access parks consideration in your
planning process. If I can be of assistance, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully,

State Project No. 8.T020401, T.I.P. No. R-2414; EHNR #98-0272
The referenced document has been reviewed by this office. The Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) is responsible for the issuance of the Section 401 Water
Quality Certification for activities which impact waters of the state including
wetlands. The project will involve fill in up to 14.91 acres of wetlands at eight
locations. Impacts to surface waters at six stream/bay crossings were not
quantified. DWQ offers the following comments based on the document review:
A) NCDOT studied two Build Alternatives (113 and 2B), both of which
involved widening of the existing facility. No New Location alternatives
were proposed, which would have had significantly higher wetland and
stream impacts. Alternatives 1B and 2B would impact up to 15.50 and
14.91 acres of wetlands, respectively. Alternative 2B was selected in part
due to lower wetland impacts. We encourage NCDOT to study impact
minimization measures very carefully during the design process, now
that a preferred alternative has been selected.
B) Figure 4 (Wetlands) does not adequately depict the location or
configuration of wetland and stream impact areas. This map would be of
limited use in locating the footprint of wetland impacts in the field.
NCDOT should provide a better wetland map in the FONSI. Alternately,
Figure 2, which is very clear, could be modified to depict wetland fill
areas and stream crossings.
C) Sections A and C of the project occur within existing urbanized areas,
and will be constructed as 5-lane curb and gutter facilities. Section B
occurs within agricultural or undeveloped arenas and will be constructed
as a shoulder section. We encourage NCDOT to discuss the treatment of
stormwater throughout the project corridor. We suggest that
stormwater be diverted onto grassed swales or other vegetated areas,
rather than directly into streams.

D) In their April 5, 1994 scoping comments for this project, the NC Wildlife
Resources Commission requested an analysis of probable impacts to be
caused by development as facilitated by the improved road access. We
concur with the Commission's concerns with respect to this project,
especially since no control of access is proposed. NCDOT has not
sufficiently addressed how secondary impacts will be prevented.
Cumulative impacts should be thoroughly discussed in the FONSI, along
with recommendations for prevention of secondary effects of the
highway widening. NCDOT should be aware that the 401 Water Quality
Certification could be denied if this issue has not been meaningfully
addressed. For example, adjacent property owners and their long-term
site plans for the DOT Build and No-Build scenarios could be identified.
Furthermore, NCDOT is advised that all wetland impact sites associated
with this project must be shown to be directly related to the stated
purpose and need of the project. DWQ will probably not issue a 401
Water Quality Certification for any wetland or stream impacts associated
with new driveway accesses to adjacent properties. This further
reinforces our request (B, above) for a wetland map showing precisely
where wetland impacts will result from the road widening project.
E) This project will involve extensions of four existing culverts in
unnamed tributaries. The potential linear distances of these stream
impacts were not included in the EA.' Also, the crossing structures at
one other tributary and the bay off the Pasquotank River were not
clearly described. We cannot determine which of these streams are
perennial and which' are intermittent with the information provided in
the EA. NCDOT is advised to conduct, a field determination of perennial
streams, as this will directly relate to stream mitigation requirements.
If new culverts or culvert extensions exceed 150 feet linear distance of
stream at any perennial streaam crossing, mitigation will be required
in accordance with current DWQ Wetland Rules 115A NCAC
211.0506(b)(6)). If necessary, the stream mitigation proposal should be
discussed in the FONSI and included with the permit application. The
Wetland Restoration Program will be available to use for stream
mitigation for this project.
F) We encourage NCDOT to investigate whether or not temporary fill will
be required during construction to build haul roads and place culverts.
We suggest that NCDOT include this information with the permit
application, rather than applying for a permit modification after the
project has been let to contract. NCDOT is advised that full restoration
(including removal of fill material and planting/monitoring of
vegetation) of temporary fill areas exceeding one acre will be required
in accordance with Condition #4 of General Certification 3114
(Nationwide Permit 33). All temporary fill material must be removed
from construction access areas. On May 27, 1997, DWQ submitted a draft
restoration policy for temporary impact areas to NCDOT. We anticipate
finalization of this policy prior to the construction of this project.

G) Wetland mitigation will be required for this project, in accordance with
DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0506(h)(2)). NCDOT should be aware
that in-kind mitigation (riparian versus non-riparian) will be required
for wetland impacts. Hence, the 404/401 Permit application should
include a specific breakdown list and map of wetlands. The mitigation
site should be planned and developed with respect to this impact
assessment. Thus far, no specific mitigation site has been suggested for
this project. Wetland impacts associated with this project include non-
riverine swamp forest and coasal plain forested headwaters. These
impacts include Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Waters, Coastal Wetlands,
and Estuarine Shoreline, all of which may be determined to be Areas of
Environmental Concern by the Division of Coastal Management.
Considering the scale of impacts and the functions and values of
wetlands associated with this project, we strongly recommend up-front
mitigation. NCDOT should proceed with planning and implementation of
a mitigation plan now, during the planning process, rather than during
the permit process. NCDOT is also advised that, in accordance with our
rules, the Wetland Restoration Program will be available to use for
wetland mitigation for this project.
Based upon the wetland impacts described in the EA, an Individual Water
Quality Certification will be required for this project. Final permit
authorization will require formal application by NCDOT and written
concurrence from DWQ. Please be aware that this approval will be contingent
upon evidence of avoidance and minimization of wetland and stream impacts to
the extent practical, and provision of wetland and stream mitigation where
necessary.
DWQ appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the EA. DOT is
reminded that issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification requires
satisfaction of water quality concerns, to ensure that water quality standards
are met and no wetland or stream uses are lost. Questions regarding the 401
Certification should be directed to Cyndi Bell at [phone] in DWQ's Water
Quality Environmental Sciences Branch.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
Prepared by the
Planning and Environmental Branch
Division of Highways
North Carolina Department of Transportation
in consultation with the
Federal Highway Administration
I. TYPE OF ACTION
This is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) administrative action, Finding
of No Significant Impact (FONSI).
The FHWA has determined this project will not have any significant impact on
the human environment. This FONSI is based on the Environmental Assessment which
has been independently evaluated by the FHWA and determined to adequately and
accurately discuss the environmental issues and impacts of the proposed project. The
Environmental Assessment provides sufficient evidence and analysis for determining that
an Environmental Impact Statement is not required. The FHWA takes full responsibility
for the accuracy, scope, and content of the Environmental Assessment.
II. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), Division of
Highways, proposes to widen US 158/NC 34 from two lane roadway to a multi-lane
facility, in Camden County. The project begins at Elizabeth City and ends at Belcross.
For discussion purposes, the project is divided into Sections A, B, and C (Refer to Figure
2 of Environmental Assessment). Section A commences at the existing four lanes in
Elizabeth City and terminates near the city marina in the vicinity of the undeveloped
causeway area of the project. Section B originates in the causeway area and extends to
Havenwood Drive (SR 1257). The surrounding area for Section B is mainly wetlands.
Section C then commences from Havenwood Drive to where US 158 and NC 34 separate
at Belcross. The total length of the project is 8.6 kilometers (5.3 miles).
A five-lane, 20.4-meter (68-foot), face to face of curbs, curb and gutter facility is
proposed for Section A. This typical section provides for a 3.6-meter (12-foot) center
turn lane, two 3.6-meter (12-foot) inside travel lanes, and two 4.2-meter (14-foot) outside
travel lanes. A four-lane, 15.6-meter (52-foot) shoulder section is proposed for Section
B. The typical cross-section for Section B includes two 3.6-meter (12-foot) travel lanes
in each direction with 1.2-meter (4-foot) paved shoulders. Also, a 1.2-meter (4-foot)
painted island is proposed for the center of the roadway between opposite travel
directions. Section C proposes the same typical cross-section as Section A. The 0.6
i
2
meter (2-feet) of extra pavement width is recommended on each side of roadway in order
to accommodate bicycle traffic along the project.
III. ACTIONS REQUIRED BY OTHER AGENCIES
It is anticipated permits for impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and surface waters
will be required. This is in accordance with provisions of Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). A Section 401 Water Quality certification will be required from
the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (DEHNR)
for activities resulting in discharge into any streams involved with this project. The
NCDOT, in accordance with the Endangered Species Act, will contact the proper
agencies for impacts to any federally listed threatened or endangered species.
IV. NEED FOR ACTION
US 158 is a major east-west route in northeastern North Carolina. The portion of
US 158 studied in this report serves as a radial route into Elizabeth City from smaller
towns and rural areas located to the east. It also serves as a connector between the
recreation areas of the Outer Banks and the large population centers served by US 17.
The eastern portion of the project provides direct access to homes, schools, churches, and
businesses of Camden and Belcross.
US 158 is a Proposed Critical Connector in the North Carolina Strategic Corridor
System, and the western portion of the project is classified as a Major Thoroughfare in
the Elizabeth City Thoroughfare Plan. US 158 is classified as a Minor Arterial in the
North Carolina Functional Classification System and is a Federal-Aid Road. US 158 is
also included in the Intrastate System and is scheduled for improvement to a multi-lane
facility from Winston-Salem to Whalebone.

VI. COMMENTS RECEIVED ON ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
A. U. S. Army Corte of Engineers
1. Comment:
"Summary, Section 5. Actions Required by Other Agencies. This
paragraph states that: `NCDOT will submit applications to the Corps of Engineers
for these permits after final design for the project is completed.' We suggest the
permit application be submitted prior to the completion of the final design. This
will allow for design changes based upon comments received during the public
review process and our evaluation process."
Response:
The statement in the EA which implies that the NCDOT will not seek
concurrence from the Regulatory Branch until after final design is completed is
not in keeping with the Department's current protocols. Please disregard this
statement. NCDOT fully intends to coordinate with the Regulatory Branch and
the other environmental agencies during the preliminary design interval prior to
submittal of permit applications.
2. Comment:
"Summary, Section 5, also states that NCDOT will prepare a mitigation
plan to compensate for wetland impacts. As you are aware, it is our policy that
prior to issuance of a Department of the Army Permit, NCDOT will provide this
office with an approved, final mitigation plan for this project. Development of
these plans can require a significant amount of time and could lead to delays in
the issuance of permits if not addressed in a timely manner. Accordingly,
NCDOT should pursue development of this plan as early as possible."
.I , s
4
Response:
NCDOT is aware of the Regulatory Branch's expectation that a final
mitigation plan be submitted and approved prior to issuance of a Section 404
Permit. In this instance, since the anticipated impacts occur within the
Pasquotank River Basin, NCDOT proposes to utilize in-kind mitigation
opportunities at the Dismal Swamp Mitigation Site.
3. Comment:
"The stated purpose for the project is to serve as a connector between
Camden and Belcross to Elizabeth City. From the EA, it is also stated the project
would provide economic benefits, improve level of service (LOS) and reduce
accidents. We believe the basic purpose and need for the proposed project is
improved LOS. The current LOS from Elizabeth City through the NC 343
intersection is "E", with a LOS "D" for the remaining portion of the proposed
project. If no improvements are made, the level of service will drop to "I"' and
"E" respectively. The EA states that the proposed improvements will improve
the LOS to "D" from Elizabeth City to Country Club Road and the LOS to "C"
through the planning period for the remainder of the project. Please furnish the
traffic projections and methodology used in determining these minor fluctuations
in the LOS in the EA."
Response:
The traffic projections were provided by the Statewide Planning Branch
of NCDOT. The projections were shown on Figures 3A and 3B of the
Environmental Assessment. Historic Average Daily Traffic (ADT) trends for the
study area show growth rates consistently between 4.0% and 4.5% for US 158.
Turning movements, field investigation, previous traffic projections and other
projects in the area, as well as discussions with Statewide Planning Engineers,
were the primary sources used to derive a 3.0% long-range growth rate for the
area.
Highway capacity analysis was performed based on the traffic projections
along US 158/NC 34. Methodology for the analysis was based on the Highway
Capacity Manual.
4. Comment:
"The EA does not support the position that the road improvements will
provide economic benefits, and we request the supporting documentation in the
EA, with a copy supplied to our Washington Field Office, before the EA is
finalized. Additionally, the EA does not address the secondary and cumulative
impacts to the natural resources as a result of the economic benefits. The existing
5
businesses are generally surrounded by wetlands, and impacts to wetlands as a
result of business growth must be addressed before a permit decision is rendered."
Response:
NCDOT concurs with the COE that the purpose and need for the project is
improved level of service for traffic conditions along US 158. The purpose of the
project does not include economic benefits. NCDOT apologizes for this error in
the Environmental Assessment.
5. Comment:
"A reduction in accident rates for the road widening does not appear to be
a need for the proposed project. Current accident rates of 60% less than the state
average for rural highways appear to be adequate and acceptable. Due to the
higher traffic speeds attained with the proposed improvements, projections for
accident rates in the planning period would need to be included in the EA."
Response:
While it is not the common practice of NCDOT to project future accident
rates, the assertion widely held is accident rates decrease along a highway as
capacity improves. The proposed improvements will improve capacity along US
158/NC 34. Also, it is expected that speed limits along the proposed project will
either remain the same or be reduced after construction.
6. Comment:
"The document states the National Eligible Creekmore Store will be
relocated to satisfy the concerns of the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
The Corps will need a copy of the criteria agreed to by the SHPO and NCDOT for
our determination of effect."
Response:
A copy of the "Concurrence Form for Assessment of Effects" regarding
the Creekmore Store is located in Appendix G of the EA. NCDOT will also
provide the Corps a copy of this form which outlines the criteria agreed to by
FHWA, SHPO, and NCDOT.
7. Comment:
"Please reference our letter of April 29, 1994, requesting a map indicating all
wetlands and waters of the United States associated with the proposed project. An
6
adequate review of alternatives or impacts cannot be conducted without this basic
information with is not included in the EA."
Response:
Although wetland delineations have not been accomplished for the project,
a map which depicts approximate boundaries of wetlands is included in the
FONSI (See Figure 2).
8. Comment:
"Page 30, b. Wildlife Communities. The proposed project will involve the
extension of four existing culverts. The National Marine Fisheries Service states
that the Pasquotank River and its adjacent wetlands provide secondary nursery
habitat for a variety of commercially and recreationally important fishery
resources. We strongly insist that these stream systems be bridged unless the EA
clearly demonstrates that culvert extensions will not impact anadromous fish."
Response:
NCDOT will coordinate with all environmental review agencies regarding
the most practicable approach to providing adequate cross-drainage at each
riverine wetland crossing. All options at crossings will be properly evaluated.
9. Comment:
"Page 43, M. Construction Effects. Paragraph 8 states that neither waste
sites nor borrow sites will be allowed in wetlands. We strongly concur with this
commitment, and request the following paragraph be added to the EA in this
section:
To ensure that all borrow and waste activities occur on high
ground, NCDOT shall require its contractors and/or agents to
identify all areas to be used to borrow material, or to dispose
of dredged, fill, or waste material. Documentation of the
location and characteristics of all borrow and disposal sites
associated with this project shall be available to the Corps upon request."
Response:
This paragraph has been inserted in the revised list of Environmental
Commitments in the FONSI (See Item Number 8).
7
10. Comment:
"Paragraph 8 further states that, `the construction effects of the project will
be temporary in nature.' These temporary impacts must be identified and
quantified, and the alternatives should be discussed in the EA. Alternative
construction techniques and associated compensation may be required as a result
of these impacts. Impacts and compensation as a result of erosion control
measures also need to be discussed in the EA."
Response:
The use of the word "temporary" in describing anticipated project impacts
was unfortunate. The author's intention was to convey that the anticipated
impacts to the environment were not likely to result in severe consequences, as
might be expected from a project which fragments natural communities. The
Department regrets the inadvertent misstatement and acknowledges that those
impacts which result in grading, draining and/or filling of adjacent land will be
permanent impacts.
B. U. S. Department of Interior
1. Comment:
"We concur there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the proposed
project, if project objectives are to be met. We also concur with the proposed
measures to minimize harm to Causeway Park, the George M. Wood Memorial
Park and the Creekmore Store."
Response:
Comments are noted. No response necessary.
2. Comment:
"The project would impact estuarine water and wetlands. Such areas have
been designated as Areas of Environmental Concern by the state. Therefore,
every effort should be made to avoid or minimize the direct loss, or indirect
adverse impacts to these areas. If these measures would produce unavoidable
losses, there should be a thorough, comprehensive plan for compensatory wetland
mitigation."
Response:
NCDOT has made every effort to avoid and minimize direct loss, or
indirect adverse impacts to estuarine water and wetlands. If the project is
8
determined to produce unavoidable losses, NCDOT will produce a
comprehensive plan for compensatory wetland mitigation.
3. Comment:
"The EA notes (p. 2) that the proposed improvements would provide
`economic benefits' to local businesses and prevent a deterioration of service for
traffic expected in the year 2020. We do not believe that the purpose and need
statement should be presented as benefits to be derived from a specific alternative.
If local businesses have specific problems with traffic flows, these problems
should be stated. We also question the ability of the North Carolina Department
of Transportation to accurately predict traffic volumes 23 years in the future.
However, we would agree that traffic is likely to increase in coming decades and
the proposed improvements are likely to minimize future congestion."
Response:
As stated previously, the purpose of the project is to improve traffic flow
along US 158/NC 34. The purpose of the project does not include economic
benefits.
4. Comment:
"We are pleased that the NCDOT did consider the various impacts of both
symmetrical and asymmetrical widening. We also concur with the selection of
Alternative 2 for Section B which would minimize wetland impacts. Overall, the
consideration of project alternatives is satisfactory."
Response:
Comments are noted. No response necessary.
5. Comment:
"The preferred alternative would impact approximately 14.9 acres of
wetlands, 14.7 of which would be forested wetlands. While the alternative
analysis addresses wetland avoidance, the EA is vague on the actual design
features and construction techniques which would be employed to minimize
adverse impacts. The EA discusses (p. 38) a range of possible minimization
measures, but there is no clear statement of which, if any, of these measures
would be used. While it is possible that the NCDOT intends to fully implement
the measures mentioned, we recommend that any Finding of No Significant
Impact state which specific measures would be employed."
9
Response:
NCDOT will strictly implement "Best Management Practices for the
Protection of Surface Waters in North Carolina", a design and construction
strategy for minimizing the effects of construction activities on adjacent wetlands
and surface waters. Several methodologies that will be employed in the
construction of the proposed action are:
1. Narrowing of fill cross-sections by selecting the steepest fill slopes
(eg. 2:1-3:1) that will remain stable over the long term;
2. Installation and maintenance of sedimentation control devices
throughout project, which are designed to intercept and contain
sediment on-site;
3. Use of shoulder sections, in lieu of curb and gutter sections in non-
urbanized sections of project to provide vegetated buffers for on-site
mitigation of roadway runoff;
4. Use of energy dissipaters at stormwater discharge points, and use of
berms and vegetated swales for treatment of stormwater discharges
from curb and gutter sections.
6. Comment:
"The EA is also vague on the actual measures which would be applied to
minimize adverse impacts to water resources. The proposed project would cross a
bay of the Pasquotank River and five tributaries of Sawyers Creek (p. 34).
However, the EA states (p. 4) that the present roadway has four culverts and that
these four culverts would be extended by the project. There is no discussion of
the measures which would be used for fifth tributary and the bay."
"We are concerned that the proposed project could reduce water quality in
the project area, and recommend that any Findings of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) clearly describe the measures which would actually be employed to
ensure hydrological continuity at all waterways in the project area. A FONSI
should also describe the constraints in preventing direct runoff from the new road
into adjacent waterways. There should at least be a qualitative assessment of the
extent to which roadside ditches and unvegetated shoulders would result in
immediate runoff into these waterways."
Response:
NCDOT's hydraulic design at each of the stream crossings, including the
small embankment, will provide for adequate cross-drainage to ensure roadbed
integrity and minimize localized flooding. This is important from flood
management, as well as ecological standpoints. Since most of these hydraulic
crossings occur at fairly high quality riverine systems, the Department intends to
10
consult with the environmental review communities regarding the need to enhance
cross-drainage opportunities at each site. Historically, pre-causeway drainage
patterns were not restricted to single points of exchange. The Department will
examine the practicability of placing additional pipes and/or culverts in the
causeway where additional hydrological exchange would be beneficial
ecologically.
The issue of direct discharge of stormwater into streams is regulated by the
Division of Water Quality, an agency of the N.C. Department of Environment and
Natural Resources. Standards for the collection and disposition of stormwater
runoff from highways dictate what methodologies must be followed. More
stringent rules and standards govern stormwater design in sensitive watersheds.
See response in Section VI.B.1 for examples of design strategies that may be
required.
7. Comment:
" The EA states (p. 38) that compensatory mitigation for wetlands and
surface water will be required by the Corps of Engineers. However, the EA does
not address the issue of compensatory mitigation beyond a brief statement (p. 39)
of the general goals of such actions. While we acknowledge that an EA should
not contain detailed information on specific, potential compensatory mitigation
sites, we do believe that the documents should address four items. These items
are:
1. A definite commitment to ensure that the project does not produce a
permanent loss of functions and values provided by the aquatic resources
impacted by the project;
2. A determination of whether compensatory mitigation will be on-site (in
the immediate vicinity of the project area) or off-site;
3. A determination of whether compensatory mitigation will be in-kind or
out-of-kind; and,
4. A statement of the method of compensatory mitigation: creation,
restoration, enhancement, and/or preservation."
Response:
The project will not produce a permanent loss of functions and values
provided by the aquatic resources impacted by the project. Since the anticipated
impacts occur within the Pasquotank River Basin, NCDOT proposes to utilize in-
kind mitigation opportunities at the Dismal Swamp Mitigation Site.
11
8. Comments:
"The EA discusses three federally-protected species under the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service's (FWS) jurisdiction and three sea turtles. There is no sea
turtle nesting habitat in the project area. Therefore, any sea turtles in the project
area would be in the water and under the jurisdiction of the National Marine
Fisheries Service which should be contacted regarding potential impact on sea
turtles."
Response:
NCDOT will contact the National Marine Fisheries Service if it is found
the proposed project will potentially impact sea turtles in the water.
C. Advisory Council on Historic Preservation
Comment:
"On September 18, 1997, the Council received your determination,
supported by the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), that
the referenced undertaking will have no adverse effect upon properties listed on
and eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Pursuant to Section
800.5(d)(2) of the Council's regulations, "Protection of Historic Properties" (36
CFR Part 800), we do not object to your determination. Therefore, you are not
required to take any further steps to comply with Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act other than to ensure the project is implement as
proposed and consistent with the conditions you have reached with the North
Carolina SHPO."
Response:
Comments are noted. No response necessary.

Comment:
"Part of the project is to replace a bridge over a bay off the Pasquotank
River."
Response:
NCDOT does not propose to replace any bridges as part of this project.

E. N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Marine
Fisheries
1. Comment:
"The Division agrees with the recommended alignment. However, this
agency remains concerned with the impacts and/or loss to 15.5 acres of wetlands.
Wetlands are ... Finally, wetlands perform ... Mitigation for the loss of these
wetlands should occur at a ratio of greater than 1:1 and should be in kind, near the
project site."
Response:
The Department agrees with the Division of Marine Fisheries' assessment
of the importance of wetlands. Although the EA estimated the loss of
approximately 14.92 acres of wetlands, it is quite often the case that when
adequate design has been completed and the wetlands have been delineated, the
actual impacts will be less. The compensatory mitigation to be proposed by the
Department will result in in-kind, same-basin replacement of the functions and
values of the impacted wetlands. The ratio that will be proposed to the regulatory
agencies will exceed 1:1.
2. Comment:
"The Division commends NCDOT for agreeing to adhere to appropriate
construction moratoria in the project area. This agency is concerned though with
the type of crossings that will be utilized during construction."
Response:
As indicated in response to concerns from other reviewing agencies, the
Department recognizes the importance of the wetland communities, which lie at
each hydraulic crossing. In the absence of extraordinary resource issues, the
conventional plan would be to simply extend the existing structures to
accommodate the additional pavement; however, we will be discussing a range of
options with the environmental community to arrive at a consensus on the most
practicable design at these sites.

F. N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water
Quality
1. Comment:
"We encourage NCDOT to study impact minimization measures very
carefully during the design process, now that a preferred alternative has been
selected."
Response:
See responses to related comments from the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers and U. S. Department of Interior in Section VI.A and Section VI. B of
this document.
2. Comment:
"Figure 4 (Wetlands) does not adequately depict the location or
configuration of wetland and stream impact areas. This map would be of limited
use in locating the footprint of wetland impacts in the field. NCDOT should
provide a better wetland map in the FONSI."
Response:
See response in Section VI.A.7 of this document. ( Sc k V1\1f 1)
3. Comment:
"We encourage NCDOT to discuss the treatment of stormwater throughout
the project corridor. We suggest that stormwater be diverted onto grassed swales
or other vegetated areas rather than directly into streams."
Response:
See response in Section VI.B.6 of this document.
4. Comment:
"NCDOT has not sufficiently addressed how secondary impacts will be
prevented. Cumulative impacts should be thoroughly discussed in the FONSI,
along with recommendations for prevention of secondary effects of highway
widening. NCDOT should be aware that a 401 Water Quality Certification could
be denied if this issue is not meaningfully addressed. For example, adjacent
property owners and their long term site plans for the DOT Build and No-Build
scenarios could be identified. Furthermore, NCDOT is advised that all wetland
14
impact sites associated with this project must be shown to directly related to the
stated purpose and need of the project. DWQ will probably not issue a 401 Water
Quality Certification for any wetland or stream impacts associated with new
driveway access to adjacent properties."
Response:
This project proposes to widen an existing facility. The proposal will not
alter the existing access. The addition of lanes will likely have a measurable effect
on local development. The increase in traffic is the main justification for the
proposed improvements. This additional traffic might stimulate additional
enterprise development along the roadway, but the increase in traffic volume will
occur whether the roadway is widened or not. The N.C. Wildlife Resources
Commission properly characterized the project in recent comments: "We support
NCDOT in the decision to improve existing facilities rather than to construct new
roadways. Improving existing roadways avoids new stream and wetland
crossings, does not further fragment wildlife habitat, and does not promote
secondary development. The EA provides adequate information regarding the
environmental impacts of the build alternatives."
NCDOT assures the Division of Water Quality that all project related
wetland impacts will be directly related to project purpose and need.
5. Comment:
"This project will involve extensions of four existing culverts in unnamed
tributaries. The potential linear distances of these stream impacts were not
included in the EA. Also, the crossing structures at one other tributary and the
bay off the Pasquotank River were not clearly described. We cannot determine
which of these streams are perennial and which are intermittent with the
information provided in the EA. NCDOT is advised to conduct a field
determination of perennial streams, as this will directly relate to stream mitigation
requirements. If new culverts or culvert extensions exceed 150 feet linear
distance of stream at any perennial stream crossing, mitigation will be required in
accordance with current DWQ Wetland Rules [15A NCAC 2H.0506(b)(6)). If
necessary, the stream mitigation proposal should be discussed in the FONSI and
included with the permit application."
Response:
The Department is aware of the Division of Water Quality requirements
regarding stream impacts. All of the streams addressed in the EA are perennial
streams. The Department does not anticipate impacts to streams channels which
exceed 150 feet; however, should site-specific design requirements change,
coordination with Division of Water Quality will be undertaken.
15
6. Comment:
"We encourage NCDOT to investigate whether or not temporary fill will
be required during construction to build haul roads and place culverts. We
suggest that NCDOT include this information with the permit application, rather
than applying for a permit modification after the project has been let to contract."
ResQonse:
The Department is aware of the DWQ concerns and prospective
requirements with regard to temporary fills. Present design efforts do not
anticipate a requirement for temporary fills.
7. Comment:
"NCDOT should be aware that in-kind mitigation (riparian versus non-
riparian) will be required for wetland impacts. Hence, the 404/401 Permit
application should include a specific breakdown list and map of wetlands. The
mitigation site should be planned and developed with respect to this impact
assessment. Thus far, no specific mitigation site has been suggested for this
project. Considering the scale of impacts and the functions and values of
wetlands associated with this project, we strongly recommend up-front mitigation.
NCDOT should proceed with planning and implementation of a mitigation plan
now, during the planning process, rather than during the permit process. NCDOT
is also advised that, in accordance with our rules, the Wetland Restoration
Program will be available to use for wetland mitigation for this project."
Response:
See response in Section VI.A.2 of this document.
G. N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission
1. Comment:
"We support NCDOT in ... Improving existing roadways ... The EA
provides adequate..."
Response:
Comment is noted. No response required.
16
2. Comment:
"We concur with the EA for this project. NCDOT should minimize
wetland impacts to the maximum extent practicable. NCDOT Best Management
Practices and sedimentation and erosion control measures should be strictly
enforced. We request that NCDOT design the curb and gutter drainage system on
Segment A to direct stormwater discharge into detention basins or to allow sheet
flow into wetlands. If stormwater is directed in to adjacent wetlands, energy
dissipaters should be installed at all outlets to prevent erosion and to promote
sheet flow."
Response:
The Department will apply its Best Management Practices strictly
throughout the project with particular emphasis at wetland crossings. Impacts to
wetlands will be minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Specific details
of these minimization efforts will be known once the Department has discussed
site-specific issues with the environmental community at a future field review.
The Department will ensure that discharges of stormwater from curb and gutter
outfalls are directed at wetlands, not at surface waters. Furthermore, energy
dissipaters will be required at discharge points, where warranted.
VII. COMMENTS RECEIVED DURING AND SUBSEQUENT
TO THE PUBLIC HEARING
On March 26, 1998, a formal public hearing for the project was held the Camden
County Courthouse in Camden. Approximately 175 people attended the hearing,
including representatives from Camden County and NCDOT. Most citizens living
adjacent to US 158/NC 34 were concerned about the amount of right of way that would
be acquired for the project. Comments during and subsequent to the hearing focused on
the following issues:
A. Comment:
Does the project propose to signalize the Country Club Road and Upton Road
intersections with US 158/NC 34?
Response:
Currently, the project does not propose to signalize either the Country Club Road
or the Upton Road intersections with US 158/NC 34. However, the Area Traffic
Engineer will analyze these intersections periodically to determine whether signalization
is warranted in the future.
17
B. Comment:
Will NCDOT consider placing a concrete median along the four-lane section in
lieu of the proposed paint striped island?
Response:
NCDOT currently proposes a painted stripe median along the proposed the four-
lane section. However, NCDOT will study ways to increase safety in the median to
minimize the potential for head on collisions along this section of the project.
C. Comment:
Ms. Carol Smith, Superintendent of Camden County Public Schools:
Camden County High School cannot afford to have any property acquired for the
proposed widening of US 158/NC 34. Since the school does not have air conditioning,
traffic noise is a major concern since classroom windows are open when the weather is
warm.
Response:
NCDOT will minimize impacts to the school property to the full extent possible.
During right of way acquisition, NCDOT right of way agents will determine whether
parts of the school bordering US 158/NC 34 require air conditioning due to anticipated
traffic noise levels.
D. Comment:
Mr. John Purcell, Director of Maintenance of Camden County Public Schools:
Camden County High School has no room for expansion and is leasing some
additional property. Balls from the baseball field are crossing the highway. Therefore,
fencing or a barrier added for protection for motorists and adjacent residences. NCDOT
should help relocate the school.
Response:
As stated previously, NCDOT will minimize impacts to the school property to the
full extent possible. NCDOT will determine whether appropriate measures should be
taken to install fencing or a barrier to protect motorists or adjacent residences from balls
from the baseball field at Camden County High School.
18
E. Comment:
Does NCDOT propose to provide lighting along the undeveloped causeway?
Response:
Due to additional costs, NCDOT does not propose to provide lighting along the
undeveloped causeway.
VIII. REVISIONS AND ADDITIONS TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
A. Need for the Proposed Project
The purpose of the project is to improve the traffic capacity along US 158/NC 34
through the design year (2020). The purpose and need of the project does not include
economic benefits, as outlined on page 2 of the Environmental Assessment (EA).
B. Wetlands
In the SUMMARY section of the EA, it was stated incorrectly the proposed
project would impact approximately 6.27 hectares (15.5 acres) of wetlands. The
recommended improvements will impact approximately 6.03 hectares (14.92 acres) of
wetlands.
C. Gumberry Road (SR 1240) Realignment
Figure 2 of the EA shows the proposed realignment of Gumberry Road (SR
1240). Due to recent commercial development, NCDOT will revise the realignment of
Gumberry Road. NCDOT is still in the process of revising this intersection.
D. Relocation Impacts
The EA stated the recommended improvements would relocate one residence and
four businesses. Current design information indicates one residence and nine businesses
will be relocated.
E. Drainage Structures
On page 4, Section III.E., the EA states the last culvert is located at a tributary of
Sawyers Creek, which crosses just east of the US 158/NC 34 split. The culvert is actually
located west of the US 158/NC 34 split (See Culvert No. 4 on Figure 2).
19
IX. BASIS FOR FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
The comments received on the Environmental Assessment did not reveal any
significant impacts resulting from the proposed project. The recommended
improvements will result in the relocation of one residence and nine businesses. It has
been determined that the project will not result in the fragmentation of any established
neighborhoods.
Based upon a study of the proposed project documented in the Environmental
Assessment, and upon comments received from federal, state, and local agencies and the
public, it is the finding of the North Carolina Department of Transportation and the
Federal Highway Administration that this project will not have a significant adverse
impact upon the human or natural environment. Therefore, an environmental impact
statement will not be required.

1. FLOOD PLAINS: POC - Bobby L Willis, Planning Services Section, at [phone]
Our comments on flood plains for this project were provided by our April 29, 1994, letter to
you, a copy of which is contained In Appendix C of the Environmental Assessment (EA). We
do not have additional comments to provide at this time.
2. WATERS AND WSTLANDS: POC - Mr. Michael Bell, NCDOT Coordinator/Rectulatory
Project Manager Washington Field Office Regulatory Division at [phone].
Extension 26
As a permitting agency, you are reminded that our concerns relative to the environmental,
social, and economical impacts must be satisfied If we are to adopt the EA as our decision
document. Accordingly, we strongly recommend that the following issues be resolved quickly
to avoid delays in the planning and permitting of this project.
a. Summary, Section S. "Actions Reouired by Qther Agencies." This paragraph states
that:
"NCDOT will submit applications to the Corps of Engineers for these permits after final
design for the project is completed." We suggest the permit application be submitted prior to
the completion of the final design. This will allow for design changes based upon comments
received during the public review process and our evaluation process.
b. Summary. Section 5, also states that NCDOT will prepare a mitigation plan to
compensate for wetland impacts. As you are aware, it is our policy that prior to issuance of a
Department of the Army Permit, NCDOT will provide this office with an approved, final
mitigation plan for this project. Development of these plans can require a significant amount of
time and could lead to delays in the issuance of permits if not addressed In a timely manner.
Accordingly, NCDOT should pursue development of this plan as early as possible.

2. WATERS AND WETLANDS: (Continued)
C. Page 1. "NEED FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT." The stated purpose for the
project is to serve as a connector between Camden and Belcross to Elizabeth City. From the
EA, it is also indicated that the project would provide economic benefits, improve level of
service (LOS) and reduce accidents. We believe the basic purpose and need for the proposed
project is improved LOS_ The current LOS from Elizabeth City through the NC 343 intersection
is "E", with a LOS of "D" for the remaining portion of the proposed project. If no improvements
are made, the level of service will drop to "F" and "E" respectively. The EA states that the
proposed improvements will improve the LOS to "D" from Elizabeth City to Country Club Road
and the LOS to "C" through the planning period for the remainder of the project Please
furnish the traffic projections and methodology used In determining these minor fluctuations in
the LOS in the EA. This information will be necessary in determining if the proposed adverse
wetland impacts are warranted.
The EA does not support the position that the road improvements will provide economic
benefits, and we request the supporting documentation in the EA, with a copy supplied to our
Washington Field Office, before this EA is finalized. Additionally, the EA does not address the
secondary and cumulative Impacts to the natural resources as a result of the economic
benefits. The existing businesses are generally surrounded by wetlands, and impacts to
wetlands as a result of business growth must be addressed before a permit decision is
rendered.
A reduction in accident rates from the road widening does not appear to be a need for the
proposed project. Current accident rates of 60% less than the state average for rural
highways appear to be adequate and acceptable. Due to the higher traffic speeds attained
with the proposed improvements, projections for accident rates in the planning period would
need to be included in the EA. These projected accident rates are particularly important in light
of the fact that NCDOT proposal does not provide for control of access (Page 6, E. "Access
Control").
d. Page 13, D. "Section 4(f) Resource." The document states the National Eligible
Creekmoore Store will be relocated to satisfy the concerns of the State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO). The Corps will need a copy of the criteria agreed to by the SHPO and NCDOT
for our determination of effect.

2. WATERS AND WETLANDS: (Continued)
e. Please reference our letter of April 29, 1994, requesting a map indicating all wetlands
and waters of the United States associated with the proposed project. An adequate review of
alternatives or impacts cannot be conducted without this basic information which is not
included in the EA.
f. Page 30, b. "Wildlife Communities." The proposed project will involve the extension of
four existing culverts. The National Marine Fisheries Service states that the Pasquotank River
and its adjacent wetlands provide secondary nursery habitat for a variety of commercially and
recreationally important fishery resources. we strongly insist that these stream systems be
bridged unless the EA clearly demonstrates that culvert extensions will not impact anadromous
fish.
g. Page 43, M. "Construction Effects." Paragraph 8 states that neither waste sites nor
borrow sites will be allowed in wetlands. We strongly concur with this commitment, and
request the following paragraph be added to the EA in this section:
"To ensure that all borrow and waste activities occur on high ground, NCDOT shall
require its contractors and/or agents to identify all areas to be used to borrow material, or to
dispose of dredged, fill, or waste material. Documentation of the location and characteristics
of all borrow and disposal sites associated with this project shall be available to the Corps
upon request."
Paragraph 8 further states that, "the construction effects of the project will be temporary in
nature." These temporary impacts must be identified and quantified, and the alternatives
should be discussed in the EA. Alternative construction techniques and associated
compensation may be required as a result of these Impacts. Impacts and compensation as a
result of erosion control measures also need to be discussed in the E4.
h. As a major permitting agency, we appreciate the efforts made by NCDOT to minimize
the adverse impacts to the extent practicable. Our main concem of this project is the severity
of the impacts in relation to the minimal benefits. We also appreciate the opportunity to
coordinate with your staff prior to the finalization of the EA. ,.

Dear Mr. Graf:

'OF Oi= r?

This is in response to the request for the Department of the Interior's Comments on the Environmental
Assessment (EA) and Programmatic Section 4(f) Evaluation for the US-158/NC-34 from Elizabeth City
to Belcross, Campden County, North Carolina.
Section 4(f) Evaluation Comments
We concur that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the proposed project, if project objectives
are to be met. We also concur with the proposed measures to minimize harm to Causeway Park, the
Georse M. Wood Memorial Park and the Creekmore Store.
Environmental Assessment Comments
The proposed project would be located in an area of valuable fish and wildlife habitat. The project
would impact estuarine water and wetlands. Such areas have been designated as Areas of Environmental
Concern by the state. Therefore, every effort should be made to avoid or minimize the direct loss, or
indirect adverse impacts to these areas. if these measures would piuuuce unavuidauic iusacb, dletc
should be a thorough, comprehensive plan for compensatory wetland mitigation.
Purpose and Need - The EA notes (p. 2) that the proposed improvements would provide "economic
benefits" to local businesses and prevent a deterioration of service for traffic expected in the year 2020.
We do not believe that the purpose and need statement should be presented as benefits to be derived from
a specific alternative. If local businesses have specific problems with traffic flows, theses problems
should be stated. We also question the ability of the North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) to accurately predict traffic volumes 23 years in the future. However, we would agree that
traffic is likely to increase in coming decades and the proposed improvements are likely to minimize
future congestion.
Alternative Evaluated - We are please that the NCDOT did consider the various impacts of both
symmetrical and asymmetrical widening. We also concur with the selection of alternative 2 for section B
which would minimize wetland impacts. Overall, the consideration of project alternatives is satisfactory.
Impacts on Aquatic Resources - The preferred alternative would impact approximately 14.9 acres of
wetlands, 14.7 acres of which would be forested wetlands. While the alternative analysis addresses
wetland avoidance, the EA is vague on the actual design features and construction techniques which
would be employed to minimize adverse impacts. The EA discusses (p. 38) a range of possible
minimization measures, but there is no clear statement of which, if any, of these measures would be used.
While it is possible that the NCDOT intends to fully implement the measures mentioned, we recommend
that any Finding of No Significant Impact state which specific measures would be employed.
The EA is also vague on the actual measures which would be applied to minimize adverse impacts to
water resources. The proposed project would cross a bay of the Pasquotank River and five tributaries of
Sawyers Creek (p. 34). However, the EA states (p. 4) that the present roadway has four culverts and that
these four culverts would be extended by i he project. There is no discussior of the measures which
would be used for fifth tributary and the bay. The EA indicates (p. 34) that adverse impacts to water
quality would be a partially mitigated" by providing for vegetated road shoulder and limited ditching.
These measures would be used whenever possible. We are concerned that the proposed project could reduce water quality in the project area, and
recommend that anv Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSI) clearly describe the measures which
would actually be employed to ensure hydrological continuity at all waterways in the project area. A
FONSI should also describe the constraints in preventing direct runoff from the new road into adjacent
waterways. There should at least be a qualitative assessment of the extent to which roadside ditches and
unvegetated shoulders would result in immediate runoff into these waterways.
Compensatory Wetland Mitigation - The EA states (p. 38) that compensatory mitigation for wetlands and
surface water will be required by the Corps of Engineers. However, the EA does not address the issue of
compensatory mitigation beyond a brief statement (p. 39) of the general goals of such actions. While we
acknowledge that an EA should not contain detailed information on specific, potential compensatory
mitigation sites, we do believe that the document should address four items. These items are:
1. A definite commitment to ensure that the project does not produce a permanent loss of functions and
values provided by the aquatic resources impacted by the project;
2. A determination of whether compensatory mitigation will be on-site (in the immediate vicinity of the
project areal or off-site:
3. A determination of whether compensatory mitigation will be in-kind or out-of-kind; and ,
4. A statement of the method of compensatory mitigation: creation, restoration, enhancement, and/or
preservation.
The present EA does not address any of these issues. We recommend that any FONSI provide
information of these items.
Federaliv Protected SQecies - The EA discusses three federally-protected species under the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service's (FWS) jurisdiction and three sea turtles. There is no sea turtle nesting habitat in the
project area. Therefore, any sea turtles in the project area would be in the water and under the
jurisdiction of the National Marine Fisheries Service which should be contacted regarding potential
impacts on sea turtles. The three species under the jurisdiction of the FWS are the American alligator
(Alligator mississippiensis), Dismal Swamp southeastern shrew (DSSS)(Sorex longirostris fisheri), and
red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis). The FWS concurs that the project is north of the normal
range of the American alligator. The project is also outside of the ranee in which the FWS's Raleigh
Field Office has determined that the DSSS needs to be considered at the present time. Data on habitat
types in the project area and a review of the aerial photographs in Figure 2 suggest that habitat for the
RCW is not likely to occur in the project area.
Based on the information supplied by the NCDOT, the FWS concurs that this project is not likely to
adversely affect any federally-listed endangered and threatened species, their formally designated critical
habitat, or species currently proposed for Federal listing under the ESA, as amended.
The FWS believes that the requirements of Section 7 of the ESA have been satisfied for those species
under its jurisdiction,. Your Section consultation must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals
impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not
previously considered; (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in
this review; and/or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the
identified action.
Summary Comments
The Department of the Interior has no objection to Section 4(f) approval of this project by the

This is in response to your letter dated October 8, 1997, requesting the Coast Guard to review the
Environmental Assessment for the US-158/NC-34 Highway improvement, T.I.P. No. R-2414.
Part of the project is to replace a bridge over a bay off the Pasquotank River. This waterway is
subject to tidal influence, thus, it is considered legally navigable for Bridge Administration
purposes. This bay, at the bridge site, also meets the criteria for advance approval waterways
outlined in Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 115.70. Advance approval waterways
are those that are navigable in law, but not actually navigated by other than small boats. The
Commandant of the Coast Guard has given his advance approval to the construction of bridges
across such waterways; therefore, an individual permit will not be required for this project.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Mr. Terrance Knowles, at the
phone number or address shown above.

The North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries has received the EA for US 15811NC 34
and submits the following comments. The Division agrees with the recommended alignment.
However, this agency remains concerned with the impacts and/or loss to 15.5 acres of wetlands.
Wetlands are of great importance to fisheries productivity, providing food directly and indirectly,
and serving as nursery areas for many important species. Finally, wetlands perform important
roles in modifying acute impacts of hvdrologic events, moderating stormwater flows, trapping
sediments, and providing nutrients for incorporation into resident plants. Mitigation for the loss
of these wetlands should occur at a ratio of greater than 1:1 and should be in kind, near the
project site.
The Division commends NC DOT for agreeing to adhere to appropriate construction
moratoriums in the project area. This agency is concerned through with the type of crossings
that will be utilized during construction.

T.I.P. No. R-2414; EriNR r98-0272
The referenced document has been reviewed by this office. The Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) is responsible for the issuance of the Section 401 Water
Quality Certification for activities which impact waters of the state includine
wetlands. The. project will involve fill in up to 14.91 acres of wetlands at eight
locations. Impacts to surface waters at six stream/bay crossings were not
quantified. DWQ offers the following comments based on the document review:
A) NCDOT studied two Build Alternatives (IB and 2B), both of which
involved widening of the existing facility. No New Location alternatives
were proposed, which would have had significantly higher wetland and
stream impacts. Alternatives 1B and 2B would impact up to 15.50 and
14.91 acres of wetlands, respectively. Alternative 2B was selected in pa.-t
due to lower wetland impacts. We encourage NCDOT to study impact
minimization measures very carefully during the design process, now
that a preferred alternative has been selected.
B) Figure 4 (Wetlands) does not adequately depict the location or
configuration of wetland and stream impact areas. This map would be of
limited use in locating the footprint of wetland impacts in the field.
NCDOT should provide a better wetland map in the FONSI. Alternately,
Figure 2, which is very clear, could be modified to depict wetland fill
areas and stream crossings.
C) Sections A and C of the project occur within existing urbanized areas,
and will be constructed as 5-lane curb and gutter facilities. Section B
occurs within agricultural or undeveloped areas and will be constructed
as a shoulder section. We encourage NCDOT to discuss the treatment of
stormwater throughout the project corridor. We suggest that
stormwater be diverted onto grassed swales or other vegetated areas,
rather than ' directly into streams.

D) In their April 5, 1994 scoping comments for this project, the NC Wildlife
Resources Commission requested an analysis of probable impacts to be
caused by development as facilitated by the improved road access. We
concur with the Commission's concerns with respect to this project,
especially since no control of access is proposed. NCDOT has . not
sufficiently addressed how secondary impacts will be prevented.
Cumulative impacts should be thoroughly discussed in the FONSI, along
with recommendations for prevention of secondary effects of the
highway widening. NCDOT should be aware that the 401 Water Quality
Certification could be denied if this issue has not been meaningfully
addressed. For example, adjacent property owners and their lpng-term
site plans for the DOT Build and No-Build scenarios could be identuied.
Furthermore, NCDOT is advised that all wetland impact sites associated
with this project must be shown to be directly related to the stated
purpose and need of the project. DWQ will probably not issue a 401
Water Quality Certification for any wetland or stream impacts associated
with new driveway accesses to adjacent properties. This further
reinforces our request (B, above) for a wetland map showing precisely
where wetland impacts will result from the road widening project.
E) This project will involve extensions of four existing culverts in
unnamed tributaries. The potential linear distances of these stream
impacts were not included in the EA. Also, the crossing structures at
one other tributary and the bay off the Pasquotank River were not
clearly described. We cannot determine which of these streams are
perennial and which are intermittent with the information provided in
the EA. NCDOT is advised to conduct a field determination of perennial
streams, as this will directly relate to stream mitigation requirements.
If new culverts or culvert extensions exceed 150 feet linear distance of
stream at any perennial streaam crossing, mitigation will be required
in accordance with current DWQ Wetland Rules f 15A NCAC
2H.0506(b)(6)). If necessary, the stream mitigation proposal should be
discussed in the FONSI and included with the permit application. The
Wetland Restoration Program will be available to use for stream
mitigation for this project.
F) We encourage NCDOT to investigate whether or not temporary fill will
be required during construction- to build haul roads . and place culverts.
We suggest that NCDOT include this information with the permit
application, rather than applying for a permit modification after the
project has been let to contract. NCDOT is advised that full restoration
(including removal of fill material and planting/monitoring of
vegetation) of temporary fill areas exceeding one acre will be required
in accordance with Condition 7#4 of General Certification 3114
(Nationwide Permit 33). All temporary fill material must be removed
from construction access areas. On May 27, 1997, DWQ submitted a draft
restoration policy for temporary impact areas to NCDOT. We anticipate
finalization of this policy prior to the construction of this project.

Ms. Michelle Suverkrubbe Memo
October 27, 1997

G) Wetland mitigation will be required for this project, in accordance with
DWQ Wetland Rules {15A NCAC 2H.0506(h)(2)). NCDOT should be aware
that in-kind mitigation (riparian versus non-riparian) will be required
for wetland impacts. Hence, the 404/401 Permit application should
include a specific breakdown list and map of wetlands. The mitigation
site should be planned and developed with respect to this impact
assessment. Thus far, no specific mitigation site has beea suggested for
this project. Wetland impacts associated with this project include non-
riverire swamp forest and coasaI plain forested headwaters. These
impacts include Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Waters, Coastal Wetlands,
and Estuarine Shoreline, all of which may be determined to be Areas of
Environmental Concern by the Division of Coastal Management.
Considering the scale of impacts and the functions and values of
wetlands associated with this project, we strongly recommend up-front
mitigation. NCDOT should proceed with planning and implementation of
a mitigation plan now, during the planning process, rather than during
the permit process. NCDOT is also advised that, in accordance with our
rules, the Wetland Restoration Program will be available to use for
wetland mitigation for this project.
Based upon the wetland impacts described in the EA, an Individual Water
Quality Certification will be required for this project. Final permit
authorization will require formal application by NCDOT and written
concurrence from DWQ. Please be aware that this approval will be contingent
upon evidence of avoidance and minimization of wetland and stream impacts to
the extent practical, and provision of wetland and stream mitigation where
necessary.
DWQ appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on the EA. DOT is
reminded that issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification requires
satisfaction of water quality concerns, to ensure that water quality standards
are met and no wetland or stream uses are lost. Questions regarding the 401
Certification should be directed to Cyndi Bell at [phone] in DWQ's Water
Quality Environmental Sciences Branch.

Please reference your July 18, 2000, correspondence requesting written concurrence on
the purpose and need for the project and on the alternatives to be studied in the Draft
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Proposed Improvements to US 158/NC34, from
Elizabeth City to Belcross, in Camden County, North Carolina (TIP R-2414, State Project No.
8.T02401, Federal Aid No. STP-158(2).
A NEPA/404 Merger Team was assembled in Elizabeth City on May 17, 2000, to discuss
the purpose and need statement and the alternatives to be carried forward for the proposed
project. The following individuals comprised the project team: Mr. Michael Bell, Regulatory
Project Manager/North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Coordinator, Ms.
Karen Boshoff of your staff, Ms. Cathey Brittingham of the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management, Mr. Ron Sechler of the National Marine Fisheries Service, Mr. Ted Bisterfeld from
the Environmental Protection Agency, Mr. David Cox of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission, Mr. Tom McCartney of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Mr. John Hennessy of
the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Ms. Sara Winslow of the North Carolina Division
Marine Fisheries, Ms. April Alperin of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources,
and Mr. John Wadsworth of the Federal Highway Administration. Messrs. Wadsworth and
Sechler did not attend the meeting.
According to your correspondence, the purpose and need for the project is to provide a
continuous multilane facility between Elizabeth City and Belcross to meet future travel demands
so that the traffic capacity, efficiency and safety on US 158/NC 34 will be improved. The July
18, 2000, letter also designates the alternatives which meet this purpose and need; symmetrical
widening vs. widening to the north and 5-lane curb and gutter vs. 5-lane with grass shoulders in
Section A; 2:1 side slopes with guardrail vs. 4:1 side slopes without guardrail in Section B; and a
combination of east-widening and west-widening in Section C. After additional coordination
IV
with project team members not in attendance at the meeting, the team came to a consensus on
this purpose and need for the project and on the alternatives to be carried forward, as identified
above (Concurrence Points #1 and #2).
We encourage you to include a compensatory mitigation plan in the EA to expedite the
permit process. Please coordinate with Mr. Bell to schedule any future public hearings.
We appreciate the opportunity to coordinate with you at this early stage of project design.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Bell at the Washington

US 158/NC 34, From Elizabeth City to Belcross
Camden County s;
Federal Aid Project No.STP-158(2), State Project No. 8.T020401
TIP Project No. R-2414
Purpose and Need of Project
The purpose of the proposed project is to improve the level of service along US 158/NC 34'
between Elizabeth City and Belcross in Cafnden County (see Figure 1). The 1996 average daily
traffic (ADT) volumes along the proposed project range from 5,700 vehicles per day (vpd) to
16,000 vpd with the higher traffic volumes located closer to Elizabeth City. These volumes are
expected to increase to 10,800 vpd and 32,800 vpd in the year 2020 (see Figure 2A and 213). If
no improvements are made, the section of US 158/NC 34 between Elizabeth City and NC 343 is
expected to operate at a level of service (LOS) F and a LOS E for the remainder of the project in
the year 2020. With the proposed improvements in place, the facility is expected to operate at a
LOS D from Elizabeth City to SR 1139 (Country Club Road) and a LOS C or better for the
remainder of the project in the year 2020. By providing a continuous multi-lane facility between
Elizabeth City and Belcross, the proposed project will improve efficiency and safety on
US 158/NC 34 and meet future travel demands.
Construction Alternatives Studied
The Environmental Assessment (EA) divided the proposed project into three sections for
discussion purposes. Section A extends from the existing four lanes in Elizabeth City (western
project terminus) to the undeveloped causeway area just west of George Roper and Sons
Plumbing (length 1.1 miles). Section B extends from the undeveloped causeway area to SR 1257
(Havenwood Drive) [length 1.1 miles]. Section C extends from SR 1257 to the eastern project
terminus where US 158 and NC 34 separate at Belcross (length 3.1 miles). Refer to Figure 1 for
sections A, B, and C of the project and Figure 3 for the locations of tributary, wetland, and culvert
locations along the proposed project.
No alternative alignments were studied for the proposed project. However, alternative widening
scenarios were studied for sections B and C. The surrounding area for section B consists mostly
of wetlands. A four-lane shoulder section facility is recommended for this section due to the
surrounding wetlands. Increased roadway runoff from widened roadway surfaces will be
partially mitigated by providing vegetated shoulders in this area. Two widening alternatives were
studied for Section B. Alternative 1 B proposes to widen US 158/NC 34 asymmetrically to the
east of the existing roadway and alternative 2B proposes to widen to the west of the existing
roadway. Alternative 213 has fewer impacts to wetlands than alternative 1 B (see Attachment 1 for
impacts to wetlands).
Three alternatives were studies for Section C to minimize impacts to a historic Section 4(f)
resource, the Creekmore Store, located approximately 0.7 miles south of Belcross on the eastern
side of US 158/NC 34. Alternative 1C proposes to widen existing US 158/NC 34 symmetrically
from the existing centerline. Alternative 2C proposes asymmetrical widening by shifting the
alignment 8.2 feet to the west of the existing centerline. Alternative 3C proposes asymmetrical
widening utilizing the edge of pavement on the east side of the existing roadway, adjacent to the
Creekmore Store. Alternative 1C has the least amount of relocations (1 residence).
, 1
Recommended Alternative
The EA proposes a five-lane 20.4-meter (63-foot) face-to-face of curbs facility with curb and
Gutter for section A. The typical section consists of two 3.6-meter (12-foot) inside travel lanes,
two 4.2-meter (14-foot) outside travel lanes and one 3.6-meter (12-foot) center turn lane (see
Figure 4A). A four-lane 15.6-meter (52-foot) shoulder section is proposed for section B. The
typical section consists of two 3.6-meter (12-foot) travel lanes in each direction of travel with
1.2-meter (4-foot) pared shoulders. A 1.2-meter (4-foot) painted island will be constructed in the
center of the roadway (see Figure 4B). Asymmetrical widening to the west is proposed for this
section (section 213) since it will impact .fewer wetlands. Section C proposes the same typical
section as section A (see Figure 4A). Symmetrical widening is proposed for this section since it
impacts the least amount of residences. The Creekmore Store will be moved approximately
6 meters (20 feet) east toward the rear of the property. The Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) concur with relocating this property.
Since the completion of the EA, the recommended alternative for section B has been modified.
The design public hearing map indicates widening symmetrical on both sides of the road within
the existing right of way. Since this alternative was not studied in the EA, impacts to wetlands
and streams due to symmetrical widening will be calculated and will be provided at the meeting
on January 31, 2000.
Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation
Encroachment into surface waters as a result of the proposed project is unavoidable in order to
achieve the purpose and need of the subject project.
Minimization efforts and mitigation will be discussed at the merger team meeting on
January 31, 2000.

Concurrence on (1) the purpose and need, (2) alternatives to be studied, (3) the
recommended alternative, and (4) avoidance, minimization, and mitigation for the subject project
need to be obtained from all the merger team members (see attached list). The purpose of the
meeting was to determine the project's level of concurrence with the permitting and resource
agencies. After brief introductions, a description of the project and the issues to be discussed
were given. A field visit to the project site followed.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways, proposes to
widen US 158/NC 34 in Camden County from a two-lane roadway to a multi-lane facility. The
length of the project is approximately 5.4 miles (8.6 km). Two public parks are located close to
the western terminus of the project on both sides of the existing road (Causeway Park and
George M. Wood Memorial Park). NCDOT, in coordination with Elizabeth City officials, has
committed to minimize impacts to the parks as much as possible. Two properties within the
project limits, the Creekmore Store and the Sawyer Cemetery, are eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places. NCDOT has agreed in coordination with the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to move the
Creekmore Store to the rear of its property for mitigation purposes and to avoid impacting the
Sawyer Cemetery.
The project crosses a bay of the Pasquotank River and five tributaries of Sawyers Creek.
An undeveloped causeway is located east of Elizabeth City. High quality wetlands are located
on both sides of the causeway and at the stream crossings. There are four reinforced concrete
box culvert (RCBCs) crossings along the project.
Vocal concurrence on the purpose and need (concurrence point 1) and the alternatives to
be studied (concurrence point 2) were reached by the meeting attendees.
Concurrence Point 1: The purpose of the proposed project is to provide a continuous multi-
lane facility between Elizabeth City and Belcross to meet future travel demands so that the traffic
capacity and efficiency on US 158/NC 34 will be improved. Widening the existing facility will
also improve safety along the subject section of US 1581NC 34. Without these improvements,
the existing facility will operate at a level of service (LOS) F between Elizabeth City and NC 343
and a LOS E for the remainder of the project in the design year 2020.
Concurrence Point 2: It was agreed that NCDOT will study and provide cost estimates for the
following alternatives:
Please refer to the attached vicinity map for location of the different sections.
Section A: 1. symmetrical widening vs. widening to the north
2. 5-lanes with curb and gutter vs. 5-lanes with grass shoulders
The current design shows widening to the north with a proposed five-lane curb and gutter
facility. A request was made to study symmetrical widening due to an area of muck located on
the north side. Also, it was agreed to study impacts and costs associated with grass shoulders
TIP Project No. R-2414
Merger Team Meeting Minutes

instead of curb and gutter. Causeway Park and George M. Wood Memorial Park are located on
both sides of the road in this section of the project. Elizabeth City officials will need to be
informed of any additional impacts to these parks if any changes are made to the current design.
Section B: A four-lane median divided facility with grass shoulders remains the proposed
typical section along the undeveloped causeway. The impacts associated with symmetrical
widening using two different side slope scenarios will be studied:
1. 2:1 side slopes with guardrail
2. 4:1 side slopes without guardrail
The division made a request to study the impacts associated with using 4:1 side slopes.
Two to one (2:1) side slopes require the installation of guardrail for safety due to the steepness of
the slope. Guardrail adds an additional 3 feet (1 meter) to the total footprint of the design. In
addition, problems with slope protection and stabilization occur when 2:1 side slopes are
constructed.
Section C: A five-lane facility with curb and gutter is proposed for this section of the project.
Symmetrical and "best fit" widening scenarios will be studied due to residential and commercial
development located on both sides of the road. Stormwater issues for water quality protection
will need to be addressed.
Four culvert crossings are located along this section of the project. All four culvert
crossings have wetlands located on both sides of the road. It was agreed to study the following
alternatives for each culvert crossing (see Figure 2 for locations of the culverts):
Culvert #1 (bay crossing): The existing 8' X 8' reinforced concrete box culvert (RCBC) will
need to be replaced. Associated impacts and costs for replacement with a bridge vs. a culvert
will be studied. The bridge needs to be as low as possible to minimize wetland impacts. Sawyer
Cemetery is located close to this culvert crossing. NCDOT has committed to avoid impacting
this cemetery.
Culvert #2 (tributary #3): The existing 12' X 14' RCBC will be retained and extended on both
sides (symmetrical widening).
Culvert #3 (tributary #2): The existing double-barrel 8' X 4' RCBC will be retained and
extended to the north due to the close proximity of the railroad south of the road.
Culvert #4 (tributary #1): The current design shows the construction of a new culvert on new
alignment north of the existing 15' X 4' RCBC. Symmetrical widening on existing location
needs to be studied due to the location of high quality wetlands on both sides of the road. If
symmetrical widening is not possible, crossing of the tributary and associated wetlands will need
to be bridged and the existing roadbed will need to be removed.

Note: The dimensions for the existing culvert It's 2 and .i were previously ustea incorrecny in tins taoic.
The shaded dimensions are the correct dimensions.
Additional wetland impacts, not associated with the four culvert crossings, will occur
along Part C of the proposed project due to the widening of the existing road. The
additional.wetland impacts total 0.583 acres.
Recommended Alternative
NCDOT recommended the following typical section and widening alternative for
TIP Project No. R-2414:
Section A: Study 3 - symmetrical widening to a five-lane facility with grass shoulders is
recommended.
Section B: Symmetrical widening to a four-lane divided facility with grass shoulders
using 3:1 side slopes is recommended. The difference between the wetland
impacts for constructing 3:1 and 2:1 side slopes is 0.254 acres. However, the
construction of 2:1 side slopes will result in slope failure and long term
maintenance problems.
Section C: Symmetrical and best-fit widening to a five-lane facility with curb and gutter
is recommended.
Replacing Culvert #1 with a new culvert is recommended. Replacing Culvert
#'s 2, 3, and 4 with new culverts is also recommended (see Tables 2 and 3 for
proposed culvert dimensions).

Total Wetland Impacts: 5.169 acres
Total Surface Water Impacts: 0.044 acres
Total Stream Impacts: 351 ft (107 m)
Total Number of Relocations: 4 residences, 9 businesses
The following comments were made at the meeting:
1. David Cox (NCWRC) wanted to discuss the replacement alternatives at the
Culvert #1 location with Ron Sechler of the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS).
He wanted to make sure that Mr. Sechler agreed to the construction of a new culvert
rather than a bridge at this location.
Ron Sechler discussed the culvert replacement issue with Sara Winslow of the North
Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF). They both agreed that the
construction of a new culvert at this location is satisfactory; however, Ron Sechler
requested that the new culvert be built as wide as possible to allow some light
penetration needed for successful fish passage. NCDOT has agreed to add an
additional 3 feet to the width of the proposed culvert. The dimensions for the
replacement culvert is I @ 11 ft x M ft. RCBC.
2. John Hennessy (NCDWQ) asked if a shoulder section was ever studied for
Section C of the project. The Team agreed at the previous merger team meeting
(Concurrence Point No. 2) to only study a curb and gutter facility for this section of the
project due to the high number of relocations that would occur with the construction of a
shoulder section. It was agreed that NCDOT would study a shoulder section to show that
it will result in a substantial increase in the number of relocations.
NCDOT studied a shoulder section along Section C of the project. It was found that 8
additional residences, 6 additional businesses, and 1 church would be impacted by a
shoulder section facility. Therefore, a curb and gutter facility remains the
recommended typical section for Section C of the project.
If you have any questions regarding the recommended alternative, please contact me at
[phone] extension 223. Please sign the attached Merger Team Agreement form
for Concurrence Point No. 3 and fax it to me at [phone]. DCM (Bill Arrington),
NCDCR (Renee Gledhill-Earley), and FHWA (Ron Lucas) have already signed the form.

I. Project Purpose and Need
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide a continuous multi-lane facility
between Elizabeth City and Belcross, to meet future travel demands, and to improve the
traffic capacity and efficiency on US 158/NC 34. Widening the existing facility will also
improve safety along the subject section of US 158/NC 34. Without these improvements,
the existing facility will operate at a level of service (LOS) F between Elizabeth City and
NC 343 and a LOS E for the remainder of the project in the design year 2020.
II. Project Description
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways, proposes to
widen US 158/NC 34 in Camden County from a two-lane roadway to a multi-lane
facility. The length of the project is approximately 5.4 miles (8.6 km). The proposed
project is included in the 2002-2008 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) with
right of way acquisition scheduled for State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2002 and construction for
SFY 2005. The total estimated cost for the proposed project as shown in the 2002-2008
TIP is $21,100,000, which includes $4,800,000 for right of way acquisition, $11,600,000
for construction and $4,700,000 for prior years cost.
Two public parks, Causeway Park and George M. Wood Memorial Park, are located
close to the western terminus of the project (Section A). NCDOT, in coordination with
Elizabeth City officials, has committed to minimize impacts to the parks as much as
possible. Two properties within the project limits, the Creekmore Store and the Sawyer
Cemetery, are eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. NCDOT has agreed
in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO) to move the Creekmore Store to the rear of its property for
mitigation purposes and to avoid impacting the Sawyer Cemetery.
III. Studied Alternatives
Typical Section and Widening Alternatives were studied and evaluated in three
sections: A, B, and C. The vicinity map (Figure 1) shows the location of the three
sections.
Section A: 1. Symmetrical widening vs. widening to the north
2. 5-lanes with curb and gutter vs. 5-lanes with grass shoulders
Section B: A four-lane median divided facility with grass shoulders is the only
proposed typical section along the undeveloped causeway. The impacts associated with
symmetrical widening using three different side slope scenarios were studied:
1. 2:1 side slopes with guardrail
2. 4:1 side slopes without guardrail
3. Since the last concurrence meeting, NCDOT decided to include
studying impacts related to the construction of 3:1 side slopes.
Section C: A five-lane facility with curb and gutter was the only typical section
studied for this section of the project. Symmetrical and "best fit" widening scenarios are
proposed due to residential and commercial development located on both sides of the
road. Stormwater issues for water quality protection will need to be addressed.
Four (4) culvert crossings are located along this section of the project. The following
alternatives for each culvert crossing were studied. Please refer to Figure 2 for locations
of the culverts and Figures 3 through 7 for the proposed bridge and culvert drawings.
Culvert #1: The dimension for this culvert was previously noted incorrectly as an 8-ft x
8-ft (2.4-m x 2.4-m) reinforced concrete box culvert (RCBC). The correct dimensions for
the existing culvert is an 8-ft x 7-ft (2.438-m x 2.134-m). Associated impacts and costs
for replacement with a bridge vs. a culvert were studied. Please refer to Table 2 for the
alternative comparisons and Figures 3 and 4 for the proposed bridge and culvert
drawings.
At the last concurrence meeting, it was agreed that the remaining three (3) culverts
(culvert #'s 2, 3, and 4) will be retained and extended. Since then, more in-depth
hydraulic studies have revealed that the existing culverts need to be replaced. NCDOT
currently proposes to replace the existing culverts with new culverts at their existing
locations. The existing and proposed culvert dimensions are listed below. Please refer to
Table 3 for the proposed replacement culverts and associated impacts.
Culvert #2: The dimension for this culvert was previously noted incorrectly as a 12-ft x
14-ft (3.6-m x 4.2-m) RCBC. The correct dimensions for the existing culvert is a 7.8-ft x
3.6-ft (2.384-m x 1.094-m). Widening will be symmetrical (see Figure 5).
Culvert #3: The dimensions for this culvert was previously noted incorrectly as a double
barrel 8-ft x 4-ft (2.4-m x 1.2-m) RCBC. The correct dimensions for the existing culvert
is a double barrel 6.3-ft'x 3.7-ft (1.92-m x 1.128-m). It was agreed at the last concurrence
meeting, that widening to the north is necessary due to the close proximity of the railroad
located south of the existing road. However, some widening is proposed to the south to
minimize impacts to the wetland located to the north (see Figure 6).
Culvert #4: The dimensions for this culvert was previously noted incorrectly as a 15-ft x
4-ft (4.6-m x 1.2-m) RCBC. The correct dimensions for the existing culvert is a 10-ft x
5.2-ft (3.048-m x 1.579-m). At the last concurrence meeting, it was agreed that
symmetrical widening on existing location needs to be studied due to the location of high
quality wetlands on both sides of the road. If symmetrical widening was not possible,
crossing of the tributary and associated wetlands will need to be bridged and the existing
roadbed will need to be removed. Since then, wetlands have been delineated and verified
for this project. The wetland located on both sides of this culvert is a Bottomland
Hardwood Cypress Gum Swamp. It was determined that impacts to this wetland will be
minimized if widening was to occur to the south. Therefore, widening to the south was
studied rather than symmetrical widening (see Figure 7).
IV. Comparison of Alternatives
Section A and B:
Widening to the north and symmetrical widening were evaluated for Section A only.
Side slope scenarios were evaluated for Section A and Section B combined. Table 1
compares the wetland impacts, number of relocations, and additional right of way for the
4 study alternatives.

V. Preferred Alternative
NCDOT recommends the following typical section and widening alternative for TIP
Project R-2414:
d
ff ,'
Section A: Study 3 - symmetrically widening to a five-lane facility with grass shoulders
is recommended.
Section B: Symmetrically widening to a four-lane divided facility with grass shoulders
using 3:1 side slopes is recommended. The difference between the wetland
impacts for constructing 3:1 and 2:1 side slopes is 0.254 acres. However, the
b 4 construction of 2:1 side slopes will result in slope failure and long term
maintenance problems.
Section C: Symmetrical and best-fit widening to a five-lane facility with curb and gutter

is recommended.
Replacing Culvert 41 with a new culvert is recommended. Construction of a
new culvert will not impact more wetlands than the construction of a bridge.
Approximately 0.042 acres of additional fill will be placed in surface waters
and 68.9 linear feet of the stream will be impacted with the construction of a
culvert. However, the construction cost of the bridge is $400,000 more than
the cost of the culvert.
Replacing Culvert #'s 2, 3, and 4 with new culverts is also recommended
(see Tables 2 and 3 for proposed culvert dimensions).

Even though symmetrical widening at the western end of the proposed project
(Section A) will not require any additional right of way, it will require easements from
the Causeway Park and George M. Wood Memorial Park located on both sides of the
road. Since the original Section 4(f) Coordination involved widening to the north,
additional coordination with Elizabeth City officials will be required for the purposes of a
Section 4(f) evaluation.

There was a handout and discussion over the minimization measures that have been
incorporated.
There was discussion over the scheduling and permitting of the A and B sections. Since
the B section was done previously, the drainage design needs to be reassessed to make
sure it is consistent with present design/environmental standards.
ONE will need to review the wetland file. Check "breaks" in the wetland boundary and
use correct wetland symbology. Also, portions of wetland boundaries go through parking
lots, buildings, etc.
It was requested to have the Division consider using 5', or less, mechanized clearing.
This will be discussed with the Division at the Preliminary Field Inspection.
There is expressway/curb and gutter on the first and last plan sheets. Otherwise, a
shoulder section was used throughout and sheet flow is attained.
Sheet 14:
A bridge crossing is proposed to replace the existing box culvert. Due to structural
deficiencies, the box culvert has to be replaced. NCDOT anticipates requesting
mitigation credit at this site.
Make sure ditch velocities to creek are non-erosive. Show calcs on permit.

TIP Project R-2414
US 158/NC 34 Widening from Elizabeth City to Belcross
Minimization Measures
As a result of coordination with the Merger Team, the following minimization measures
have been incorporated into the proposed project:
Part A - From East of Pasquotank River to South of SR 1257 (Havenwood Drive):
• Symmetrical widening instead of widening to the north
F'a cc?
• Shoulder section instead of curb and gutter
• Existing culvert (Culvert #1) to be replaced with a bridge
• 3:1 side slopes
Part B - From SR 1257 (Havenwood Drive) to Belcross??3
(4,u aoa3
• Impacts to high quality wetlands (bottomland hardwood cypress gum swamp) have
been minimized at the location of Culvert #4 (eastern end of project) - widening will
occur to the south instead of to the north as previously proposed.
• Shoulder section vs. curb and gutter was studied; however, 8 additional residences,
6 businesses and I church will be impacted with a shoulder section. Therefore,
shoulders were eliminated from further consideration.

• Cathy Brittingham questioned if CAMA wetlands exist on the project. NEU will
investigate but did not anticipate that any existed on this project.
• There was discussion on the Temporary Wetland Impacts that go 5' beyond the
proposed toe of fill. The temporary impacts provide area for erosion control
measures including temporary silt fence and check dams. Cathy Brittingham said
these sites will need to be monitored for 3-years. Pending the wetland recovery
success, the impacts may need to be re-classified as permanent impacts.
• Cathy Brittingham mentioned that if project stream(s) are classified as inland
waters they are subject to NCWRC review/comment. If they are not inland waters
they are subject to NCDMF review/comment.
• Marissa Rodman stated that approximately 81 acres of potential on-site
preservation will be negotiated with the land owner of parcel 3.
• The length of channel provided by removing the existing box culvert (78 ft) will
be shown at the bottom of the Impact Summary Sheet versus under the "Natural
Stream Design" column. Also, the structure type and span arrangement will be
provided on the summary.
• NEU.will revise wetland delineation file to remove wetland symbology out of
surface waters.
The plans were reviewed on a sheet by sheet basis with comments and recommendations
made as follows:
SHEET NO.5
Area of rip rap in ditch outlet will be changed to permanent impacts. The Impact
Summary Sheet will be revised accordingly.
SHEET NO. 14
It was stated that temporary sheetpile or impervious dikes may be needed for the bridge
construction. It was stated the placement and/or removal of these would need to take
place outside of the moratorium. Also, it was stated a pipe is proposed during the bridge
construction to provide conveyance up and downstream of the sheetpile or dikes. The
bridge provides additional opening/conveyance area versus the existing 2.13m x 2.44m
(7' x 8') box culvert. The opening increases from 5.2 sm (56 sq ft) to 69.9 sm (750 sq ft).
See Stormwater Mgmt Plan.
Chris Militscher questioned why the wetland impacts increase so much in this area. It
was stated the fill slope is going out because the roadway grade is going up. The grade
goes up because of the bridge. Also, the alignment through the area has more of the
widening going to the East in order to avoid the cemetery and to avoid having a much
longer bridge due to the proximity of the surface water LT.
Structure Design has coiastructability issues with staging box beams; therefore, the
bridge will change to a 3 span cored slab. Mrr addition, the grade will be lowered to
reduce iretland impacts.
SHEET NO. 21
Add the span, bridge type and length to the profile.
