M o r^ 02 y0 r », z Permits and Mitigation Unit, 5/26/98 General Specifications for the "Grading Contract" of a Wetland Mitigation Site (for NCDOT Roadway Design Unit, Design Services Unit, and Division Engineers) Following is a comprehensive list of specifications that should be consulted when preparing the "Special Provisions" section for contracts, purchase orders, or supplemental contract agreements. This list consolidates in one place those specifications that relate to construction operations of a mitigation site. (Note: Specifications for a forestry/planting contract are not included.) As this list is all-inclusive, every specification is NOT required for each mitigation site. This document's purpose is to serve as a "shopping list" of specifications that design engineers can choose from, depending on specific site conditions. Prior to final issuance, all plans and contract provisions must be reviewed by the NCDOT Mitigation Coordinator. It is his responsibility to: 1. Review for compliance with permit conditions. 2. Review for consistency with any commitments made in the Mitigation Plan. 3. Consider the environmental consequences of plan sheet proposals or contract provisions. Field Inspection Field Inspections are a normal occurrence of the design phase. The Roadway Design Unit is responsible for scheduling field inspections, and for sending preliminary construction plan sheets to all participants prior to the meeting. Prior to sending plan sheets out, however, the sheets must be reviewed by the Wetlands Mitigation Coordinator. Given the high level of interest that resource agencies show toward mitigation sites, agency participation in field inspections is a normal occurrence. The Roadway Design Engineer should consult the Mitigation Coordinator for a list of agency personnel to invite. Permits and Mitigation Unit, 5/26/98 General Comments: Planting Activities All planting activities will be coordinated through NCDOT Roadside Environmental Unit. Reforestation areas will include areas cleared due to installation of the chain link fence. Pre-Bid Conference The unfamiliarity of contractors with wetland construction often causes a lack of interest in bidding this type of project; therefore Division Engineers are highly encouraged to hold a pre-bid conference with interested contractors. Only contractors present at the pre-bid conference shall be allowed to "bid" on the project. Preconstruction Conference Due to the intense interest of resource agencies in the success of NCDOT wetland mitigation sites, NCDOT should schedule preconstruction conferences well in advance so that the date of the conference can be provided to agency personnel. The Resident Engineer is responsible for informing the Wetland Mitigation Coordinator of the date of preconstruction conference, which should be held approximately one week prior to the availability date. Permits and Mitigation Unit. 5/26/98 A General Specifications 1. Contractor shall not utilize a borrow pit that is located within 1 /2 mile of any boundary of a NCDOT wetland mitigation site, if excavation in the borrow pit will fall below the highest elevation of the nearby mitigation site. 2. No borrow material shall be taken from the mitigation site unless directed by the Engineer. 3. There is no subsurface information available for this project. The contractor shall make his own investigation of subsurface conditions. B Site Preparation prior to Grading Operations 1 Clearing and Grubbing a. Clearing and grubbing operations shall be performed, according to Section 200 of the Standard Specifications, and as directed by the Engineer. The extent of clearing and grubbing includes the necessary amount to install the chain link fence as depicted on the detail sheet. b. Burning restrictions: 1.

H Cooperation Between Contractors In accordance with Section 105-7 of the Standard Specifications, the Department reserves the right at any time to contract for and perform other or additional work on or near the work covered by the contract. When separate or additional contracts are let within the limits of any one project, each Contractor shall conduct his work so as not to interfere with or hinder the progress or completion of the work being performed by other Contractors. Contractors working within the limits of the same project shall cooperate with each other. Each Contractor shall conduct his operations in such a manner as to avoid damaging any work being performed by others or which has been completed by others. 4 Permits and Mitigation Unit. 5/26/98 When a project is let under more than one contract and the plans and/or special provisions include a construction schedule, it shall be the responsibility of the Contractors to complete the various phases of the project in accordance with the time limits specified such that the total contracts will be completed by the completion date. This construction schedule will remain in effect until such time as the Contractors at their option submit to the engineer a joint construction schedule meeting the approval of the Engineer. This joint construction schedule shall be signed by authorized representatives of each firm and upon the approval of the Engineer shall be binding on each Contractor and made a part of the contract documents. Subsequent modifications to the joint construction schedule maybe made during the course of the work in the same manner. Failure of the Contractor(s) to complete the various phases of work within the time limits set forth in the construction schedule or latest approved joint construction schedule shall be just cause for removing the Contractor(s) from the Department's list of qualified bidders. A Contractor disqualified from bidding by reason of this provision will not be reinstated until such time as his progress is in accordance with the latest approved construction schedule or until the project is completed and accepted, whichever occurs first. The Department will under no circumstances be liable for any claim for additional compensation due to acts of one Contractor holding up the work of another. The Department will under no circumstances be liable for any damages experienced by one Contractor as a result of the presence and operations of other Contractors working within the limits of the same project. 5 C'-S- 9 7 taw / /7,14- Lt. s? 4.e- (?. syy UP -D N (n (D J cn - w m o. 3 T m 'D =r D D _» 3 n iII (D = p N y cc m 0 0 0 0 0 0 O 0 0 0 Cn O O co v 0 o- -- 0 0 Z?-i-I:z7D?

Ward, Manager Planning and Research Branch N.C. Department of Transportation Division of Highways Post Office Box 25201 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-5201 SUBJECT: State Environmental Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for US 401/15/501, Laurinburg Bypass, State Project No. 6.591005 (R-613), Scotland County, North Carolina Dear Mr. Ward: This responds to your June 13, 1990 letter soliciting comments on the subject document. This is the report of the Department of the Interior and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and is submitted in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e), and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended ..(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). This supplements our report dated February 8, 1990. The Service has reviewed the subject document and offers the following comments. The proposed project will result in the direct loss of 2.90 acres of wetlan s, as described in the subject document. In our previous report, we requested: "...any-future document-:for this project should include a specific wetland mitigation plan sufficient to fully mitigate for fish and wildlife .habitat values lost to project construction, and a commitment to implement the plan.". .. f The final State Environmental Assessment (SEA) was not amended-as requested JOE = by the Service, and on Page 4 of the FONSI, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) indicates that mitigation for the w-etlarxLs lost due 13 rJ to project activities will not be considered if the project activities are _ = covered under Bridge General or Nationwide Permits. Although the 1990; Memorandum of Agreement between the U.S. Army Corps of " T Engineers and-the Environmental Protection Agency specifically focuses:.on standard ?Permits ' the _. guidelines for Section 404(b) (1) of . the `Clean` Water -Act remain `applicable _t6_-al -1 discharges of dredge or fill material. thin .wetlands. As such, mitigation_considerations are required-as pert of ;:the . :Section 404(b)(1).guidelines analysis. f The 1985 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the Service, NCDOT, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, and North Carolina Nature Conservancy clearly outlines mitigation procedures for NCDOT highway` projects that will unavoidably impact palustrine forested wetlands. According to General Provision 6 of the MOU, the mitigation bank (as described in the MOU) will be used for mitigating unavoidable impacts, associated with NCDOT projects, regardless of the type of 404 permit that the project. is covered under. The MOU also states that mitigation from the bank will be used only to offset unavoidable impacts when NCDOT can demonstrate to the satisfaction of all parties to the MOU that there are no available or practical onsite mitigation alternatives. Therefore, the Service requests that NCDOT develop and provide to the Service a specific wetland mitigation plan sufficient to fully mitigate for fish and wildlife habitat values lost to project construction, and a commitment to implement the plan. Based on information on Page 82 of the SEA, it appears that onsite mitigation may be feasible. If the N,= can document that onsite mitigation is not available or practical, then debiting from the appropriate mitigation bank, on an acre-for-acre basis should be proposed. The Service is also concerned about the impacts that this project may have on the Federally-listed endangered red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis). The draft SEA did not adequately address project-related impacts to the red-cockaded woodpecker for the Service to concur with a finding of "no effect". Consequently, we requested in our report dated February 8, 1990, that the final SEA include the results of an evaluation of project- related impacts, on the red-cockaded woodpecker in accordance with the Service's "Guidelines for Preparation of Biological Assessments and Evaluations for the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker" dated September, 1989. 'T'hese guidelines state that if the proposed project will be removing pine trees greater than or equal to 30 years of age in pine or pine/hardwood habitat, surveys should be conducted for active red-cockaded woodpecker cavity trees within a 0.5 mile radius of project boundaries. If red-cockaded woodpeckers are observed within the project area or active cavity trees found, the project has the potential to adversely affect the red-cockaded woodpecker, and our office should be contacted for additional information. As the final SEA provides no more information regarding project-related impacts on the red-cockaded woodpecker than the draft SEA, it appears that NCDOT has not cc?conducted an adequate survey for red-cockaded woodpeckers, as requested by the Service. Therefore, the Service cannot concur with a finding of "no -, I. effect" with respect to project-related impacts on red-cockaded woodpeckers. We will reconsider our position when NCDOT provides the Service with results of the requested evaluation. Sincerely yours, Debbie C.
