NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-
500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500. This certification authorizes the NCDOT to place fill material
in 3.53 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, excavate 0.07 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, impact 0.83 acres of
jurisdictional wetlands due to mechanized clearing in Cumberland County pursuant to an application filed
on the 6th day of April, 1999 to widen the existing NC 87 from Manchester Road to the Harnett-Lee County
Line. Furthermore, this certification authorizes the placement of fill material into 2031 linear feet of streams
in Cumberland County pursuant to the same application submittal.
The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the waters of the
tributaries of the Cape Fear River in conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a
violation of applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North
Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306,
307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the application and conditions hereinafter
set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application, as described in
the Public Notice. Should your project change, you are required to notify the DWQ and submit a new
application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval
letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project
(now or in the future exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you are required to comply with all the
conditions listed below. In addition, you should obtain all other federal, state or local permits before
proceeding with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion control, Coastal
Stormwater, Non-discharge and Water Supply watershed regulations.

Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the
most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design
Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Mining Manual" (available from the Division of Land
Resources in the DEHNR Regional or Central Offices) shall be utilized to prevent exceedances of
the appropriate turbidity water quality standard (50 NTUs in all fresh water streams and rivers not
designated as trout waters; 25 NTUs in all lakes and reservoirs, and all saltwater classes; and 10
NTUs in trout waters);
2. All sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the
maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands
and waters is unavoidable, they shall be installed as prescribed in Special Condition 3 of the 404
permit issued by the Corps of Engineers. Moreover, the sediment and erosion control devices
shall be removed and the natural grade restored after the Division of Land Resources has released
the project;
3. If an environmental document is required, this Certification is not valid until a FONSI
or ROD is issued by the State Clearinghouse;
4. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
5. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters
associated with this permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or
borrow sites be located in wetlands or stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is
a direct impact from road construction activities.
6. Compensatory mitigation shall be done for impacts to 4.43 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. The
mitigation shall be conducted as prescribed in Special Condition 8 of the 404 permit issued by the
Corps of Engineers. The mitigation sites will be designed and constructed as described in the
Special Conditions section of the Section 404 Permit issued by the Corps of Engineers. The
mitigation will not be considered successful until the Corps of Engineers approves the proposed

Subject: Proposed widening of NC 87 to a multilane facility between Manchester
Road (SR 1451) in Spring Lake, Cumberland County to the Harnett-Lee
County Line. TIP No. R-2238 AA, AB, and BA.
Issue: Proposed on-site stream mitigation.
Y, V
A field meeting was conducted at the project study area on June 28, 1999 to
discuss proposed on-site stream mitigation. Participants at the meeting included Dave
Timpy (USACE), David Cox (NCWRC), John Hennessy (NCDWQ), Tom McCartney
(USFWS), Bill Elam, P.E. (NCDOT-Hydrology), Chris Murray (NCDOT-PDEA) and
Jared Gray (NCDOT-PDEA). David Cox and John Hennessy shared concerns on the long
stretches of relocated streams identified as on-site mitigation and the use of riprap in
some of these channels. They were particularly concerned with Site 7 in Section AB and
Sites 3, 9, 13 in Section BA. These sites have been revised by NCDOT Hydrology Unit
and Roadside Environmental Unit to comply with concerns addressed by these regulatory
agencies. Attached are portions of the permit application addressing these sites, original
permit drawings for all of these sites, and revised permit drawings for Sites 9 and 13 in
Section BA. The designs of these two sites have been revised by NCDOT Hydrology
Unit.
Section BA
Site 13
NCDOT has redesigned the site by significantly reducing the amount of riprap at the
proposed pipe outlet (which is also the head of the relocated channel). The purpose of
the remaining riprap at the pipe outlet is to reduce stream velocity. Additionally, riprap
was proposed at a bend in the relocated channel to reduce stream velocity in the area.
This has also been redesigned by replacing the proposed riprap with fiber rolls. NCDOT
will revegetate along the relocated channel, where feasible, with similar forest species
that naturally occur adjacent to the project site. NCDOT has also redesigned the
relocated channel by creating a 2 foot wide low flow channel and a 4 foot wide floodplain
elevated above the channel. This design matches the existing conditions along the
channel. A total of 171 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at this site and 102 ft
of the stream will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for this
segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 69 ft of stream loss will require
mitigation at this site.

Site 9
NCDOT has redesigned the site by significantly reducing the amount of riprap at the
proposed pipe outlet (which is also the head of the relocated channel). The purpose of
the remaining riprap at the pipe outlet is to reduce stream velocity. Additionally, riprap
was proposed at the end of the relocated channel to reduce stream velocity in the area.
This riprap has been completely removed. The base width of the relocated channel will
be constructed to match the existing channel. NCDOT will revegetate along the relocated
channel, where feasible, with similar forest species that naturally occur adjacent to the
project site. A total of 367 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at this site and 344
ft of the stream will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for this
segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 23 ft of stream loss will require
mitigation at this site.
Site 3
John Hennessy and David Cox commented that the relocated stream site is acceptable as
designed for on-site mitigation. NCDOT will revegetate the along the relocated channel,
where feasible, with similar forest species that naturally occur adjacent to the project site.
The base width of the relocated channel will be constructed to match the existing
channel. A total of 164 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at this site and 105 ft
of the stream will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for this
segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 59 ft of stream loss will require
mitigation at this site.
Section AB
Site 7
NCDOT had previously proposed to revegetate the base of the relocated channel with
grass. Currently, NCDOT is proposing to revegetate along the relocated channel, where
feasible, with similar forest species that naturally occur adjacent to the project site. John
Hennessy and David Cox commented that if this were proposed at this site, the relocated
stream site would be acceptable as on-site mitigation. The base width of the relocated
channel will be constructed to match the existing channel. A total of 161 ft of existing
stream channel will be filled at this site and 55 ft of the stream will be relocated.
NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for this segment of relocated stream at a 1:1
ratio. Accordingly, 106 ft of stream loss will require mitigation at this site.
Restoration Plan: The materials used as temporary fill in the construction of the
causeway will be removed. The temporary fill areas will be graded back to the
original contours. Elevations and contours in the vicinity of the proposed causeway
are available from the field survey notes.
• Schedule: The schedule currently calls for a September 21, 1999 let date with an
availability date of November 1, 1999. It is expected the contractor will choose to
start the construction of the causeway at that time. At the completion of the bridge,
the contractor will remove the temporary causeway. This should occur after
approximately two years. All materials will be removed by the contractor and
disposed of off-site.
Removal and Disposal Plan: The contractor will use excavating equipment to remove
the rip rap used for the temporary causeways. All material placed in the river will be
removed from the river. After the temporary rock causeway is no longer needed, all
causeway material will become the property of the contractor. The contractor will be
required to submit a reclamation plan for the removal of and disposal of all materials
off-site.
Demolition and Removal: NCDOT Best iVanagenzent Practices for Bridge
Demolition and Removal (Draft) will be adhered to during the life of the project (see
attached document dated March 19, 1999). These practices establish a consistent,
environmentally sound approach to the demolition and removal of bridges to North
Carolina's public road systems. These guidelines are an addendum to (and not a
replacement for) NCDOT Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface
Water. The primary objective of these guidelines shall be to protect the water quality
and aquatic life of the affected environment in the vicinity of the project.
Section AB
There are a total of 11 jurisdictional sites on this section. These are labeled Sites I
through XI (see Sheets 1 of 25 to 25 of 25) in the attached permit application. Impacts on
jurisdictional areas of this section consist of 2.54 ac fill in wetlands, 0.05 ac of excavation
in wetlands, 0.52 ac permanent wetland impact due to mechanized clearing (Modified
Method III), 0.05 ae fill in surface water (stream), 0.03 ac fill in surface water (pond),
502 ft existing channel filled, and 55 ft relocated channel. Compensatory mitigation will
be required for 447 ft of stream impact in Section AB. The segment of relocated stream
is located at Site VII and is discussed below:
Site 7: The segment of relocated channel is located within a wetland and is too small
to create meanders. This site will be revegetated with grass and the base of the
relocated channel will be constructed to match the existing base to maintain existing
depth of water. Based on this design, the segment of relocated channel will continue
to support that use exhibited by the existing channel and approximate existing stream
conditions. A total of 161 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at this site and
55 ft of the stream will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for
this segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 106 ft of stream loss will
require n itigatlon at this site.
All wetland systems in Section AB are non-riverine. Impacts to this section are
summarized in Table 3 and outlined in the summary sheet for Section AB (Sheet 24 of
25).

Section BA
There are a total of 18 jurisdictional sites on this section. These are labeled Sites
1 through 18 (Sheets 1 of 22 to 22 of 22) in the attached permit application. Impacts on
jurisdictional areas of this section consist of 0.72 ac fill in wetlands, 0.02 ac excavation in
wetlands, 0.26 ac permanent wetland impact due to mechanized clearing (Modified
Method III), 0.35 ac fill in surface water (stream), 0.30 ac fill in surface water (pond),
1,486 ft existing channel filled, and 663 ft relocated channel. Compensatory mitigation
will be required for 853 ft of stream impact in Section BA. Segments of relocated stream
are located at Sites 3, 6, 9, 11, 13, 16 and 18. These Sites are discussed below:
Site 3: Impacts to this stream from project construction are primarily restricted to its
current location in a pipe under SR 1113 and a stretch of cllannelized stream located
between SR 1113 and existing NC 87. NCDOT will revegetate the along the
relocated channel, where feasible, with similar forest species that naturally occur
adjacent to the project site. The base width of the relocated channel will be
constructed to match the existing channel to maintain the existing depth of water.
Based on this design, the se,,ment of relocated channel will continue to support that
use exhibited by the existing channel and approximate existing stream conditions. A
total of 164 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at this site and 105 ft of the
stream will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for this
segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 59 ft of stream loss will
require mitigation at this site.
Site 6: A segment of Cypress Creek will be relocated at the culvert outlet at this site.
The segment of relocated channel is located within a wetland and is too small to
create meanders. According to the NCDOT Hydraulics Unit, rip rap must be placed
along the relocated channel because of the high velocity at the outlet. The base width
of the relocated channel will be constructed to match the existing channel to maintain
the existing depth of water. NCDOT will not claim on-site mitigation for this
segment of relocated channel.
Site 9: A total of 344 ft of relocated channel is located at this site. NCDOT will
revegetate along the relocated channel, where feasible, with similar forest species that
naturally occur adjacent to the project site. The base width of the relocated channel
will be constructed to match the existing channel to maintain the existing depth of
water. Rip rap is located along the base and bank at the extreme limits of the channel
relocation. According to the NCDOT Hydraulics Unit, this is necessary because of
stream velocities at these areas. Based on this design, the segment of relocated
channel will continue to support that use exhibited by the existing channel and
approximate existing stream conditions. A total of 367 ft of existing stream channel
will be filled at this site and 344 ft of the stream will be relocated. NCDOT will
claim on-site stream mitigation for this segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio.
Accordingly, 23 ft of stream loss will require mitigation at this site.
Site 11: A very small segment of intermittent stream will be relocated at this site.
The banks of this stream will be revegetated with grass. The base width of the
relocated channel will be constructed to match the existing channel to maintain the
existing depth of water. Based on this design, the segment of relocated channel will
continue to support that use exhibited by the existing channel and approximate
existing stream conditions. A total of 56 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at
this site and 39 ft of the stream will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream
mitigation for this segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 17 ft of
stream loss will require mitigation at this site.
Site 13: A perennial segment of Dry Creek will be relocated at this site. This stream
is located parallel to NC 87 and appears to have been previously relocated to its
current location. NCDOT will revegetate along the relocated channel, where feasible,
with similar forest species that naturally occur adjacent to the project site. The base
width of the relocated channel will be constructed to match the existing channel to
maintain the existing depth of water. Rip rap is located near the outlet of the
proposed pipe and near a bend in the relocated channel. According to the NCDOT
Hydraulics Unit, this is necessary because of stream velocities at these areas. Based
on this design, the segment of relocated channel will continue to support that use
exhibited by the existing channel and approximate existing stream conditions. A total
of 171 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at this site and 102 ft of the stream
will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for this segment of
relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 69 ft of stream loss will require
mitigation at this site.
Site 16: A small segment of perennial stream will be relocated at this site. The banks
of this stream will be revegetated with grass. The base width of the relocated channel
will be constructed to match the existing channel to maintain the existing depth of
water. Rip rap is located along the southern bank of this stream. According to the
NCDOT Hydraulics Unit, this is necessary because of stream velocities at this area.
Based on this design, the segment of relocated channel will continue to support that
use exhibited by the existing channel and approximate existing stream conditions. A
total of 131 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at this site and 30 ft of the
stream will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for this
segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 101 ft of stream loss will
require mitigation at this site.
Site 18: A small segment of perennial stream will be relocated at this site. The banks
of this stream will be revegetated with grass. The base width of the relocated channel
will be constructed to match the existing channel to maintain the existing depth of
water. Based on this design, the segment of relocated channel will continue to support
that use exhibited by the existing channel and approximate existing stream conditions.
A total of 92 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at this site and 13 ft of the
stream will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for this
segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 79 ft of stream loss will
require mitigation at this site.
All wetland systems in Section BA are non-riverine except for Site 6 which is
riverine. Impacts to this section are summarized in Table 4 and outlined in the summary
sheet for Section BA (Sheet 22 of 22).

PUBLIC NOTICE
THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (NCDOT), POST
OFFICE BOX 25201, Raleigh, North Carolina has applied for a Department of the Army (DA)
permit TO DISCHARGE DREDGED OR FILL MATERIAL INTO WATERS OF THE
UNITED STATES TO WIDEN EXISTING NC 87 TO A MULTILANE FACILITY BETWEEN
MANCHESTER ROAD (SR 1451) IN SPRING LAKE, CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NORTH
CAROLINA TO THE HARNETT-LEE COUNTY LINE, NORTH CAROLINA, TIP NO. R-
2238 AA, AB, and BA, STATE PROJECT NO. 8T540302.
Project History:
By letter dated October 5, 1989, the North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) solicited comments from interested regulatory and resource agencies, regarding the
evaluation of potential environmental impacts associated with this project. A Federal
Environmental Assessment (EA) was signed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
on April 16, 1993. The EA provided a description of the proposed project, the purpose and need
for the project, and a description of social, economic, and environmental effects of the project.
Alternatives considered were the no build alternative, the mass transportation alternative, and a
widening of NC 87 alternative. The Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was approved by
the FHWA on February 28, 1995.
Project Description:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to widen existing
NC 87 to a multilane facility between Manchester Road (SR 1451) in Spring Lake, Cumberland
County to the Harnett-Lee County line. The total length of the proposed project is 15.6 miles.
The proposed project consists of three segments AA, AB, and AB. Section AA will widen the
existing roadway between Manchester Road (SR 1451) and the Cumberland County Line to a
five-lane roadway. Section AB and Section BA will widen the existing roadway between the
Cumberland County line to Olivia, North Carolina to a four-lane divided roadway with a 46-foot
median with grassed shoulders. The existing interchanges at NC 24 and NC 27 will be modified
to include extension of ramps and the construction of new bridges with appropriate deck widths.
NCDOT proposes to replace the existing bridge at Lower Little River in Cumberland County
with a new five-lane bridge. The proposed bridge will be constructed in the same location and
utilize the existing bridge for an on-site detour. A temporary rock causeway will be required to
facilitate the construction of drilled shafts and the placement of prestressed concrete girders. The
temporary causeway will be removed after construction of the bridge is complete.
A
-2-
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide adequate capacity for predicted traffic
volumes. NCDOT projections show that 13,300 to 24,500 vehicles per day will be using the
roadway on the year 2010.
The project area is located in the Cape Fear River Basin. The Cape Fear River is the main
tributary in the project area. The proposed project is between the Upper Little River in Lee
County and the Lower Little River in Cumberland County. The streams that will be crossed by
the proposed project include Barbecue Creek, Mire Branch, Gum Swamp, Cypress Creek, and
various unnamed tributaries.
In Cumberland County, soils found along proposed project primarily consist of Wagram
Loamy Sand and Altivista fine sandy loam. Other soils found in this portion of the project
include Blaney loamy sand, Candor sand, Roanoke and Wahee loams, and Tarboro loamy sand.
In Harnett County, Blaney loam is the most prevalent soil found along the proposed project.
Other soils found in the Harnett County portion of the project include Candor sand, Dothan
loamy sand, Gilead loamy sand, Lakeland sand, Pocella sand, Vaucluse sand, Wahulla sand, and
Wedhadkee loam. The hydric soils found along the proposed project include the Roanoke and
Wehadkee series.
Plant communities found along the proposed project are classified by NCDOT as follows:
Mixed Pine-Hardwood Headwater Forest Successional Hardwood-Herbaceous Headwater
Forest, and Hardwood Headwater Forest: Headwater forests are highly diverse wetlands that
develop in the upper parts of basins where streams begin to form. At the project area, these sites
are irregularly flooded by surface runoff or saturated by groundwater discharge. Plants observed
here include loblolly pine (Pings taeda), red maple (Acer rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar
styraciflua), American elm Ulmus americana), giant cane (Arundinaria ig_eatea), sedge (Carex
sp.), soft rush (Juncus effusus), sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), and titi (Cydlla
racemiflora).
Hardwood Forest: These sites are located on poorly drained flats. Perennial stream channels are
present in most instances; however, the hydrology at the site is often driven by a shallow
groundwater table. Plants located here are typical of bottomlands and include laurel oak
(Quercus laurifolia), tulip popular (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple, black gum (Nvssa
sylvatica), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), giant cane, sedge, soft rush, meadow beauty (Rhexia
sp.), seed box (Ludwiga sp.), elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), sweet gum, and sweetbay
magnolia (Ma ng olia vir ing iana).
Mixed Pine-Hardwood Forest: One example of this community is located in Section A.A. This
community is located in a small drainage basin and appears to have been disturbed in the recent
past. The primary source of hydrology appears to be surface runoff and a shallow groundwater
table. Plants observed here include loblolly pine, elderberry, tulip poplar, red maple, greenbrier
(Smilax sp.), sweetgum, and poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans).
Successional Hardwood-Herbaceous Wetland and Successional Herbaceous Wetland: These
community types are located within power-line corridors and are irregularly maintained by

-3-
mowing. Sources of hydrology at these sites are shallow groundwater table and surface runoff.
Plant species observed here include soft rush, sedge, giant cane, seed box, elderberry, sweet gum,
and red maple.
Riverine bottomland hardwood forest: One example of this community type is located in Section
BA. Cypress Creek is a blackwater stream that flows through this wetland. It appears to have a
variable flow regime with floods of short duration and periods of low flow. It has an uneven-
aged canopy dominated by laurel oak, red maple, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), river birch
(Betula ni ra), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), and sweetgum.
Construction of the proposed project will permanently impact 4.49 acres of wetlands and
2,031 feet of perennial stream. The wetland impacts include 3.53 acres by filling, 0.07 acres by
excavation, and 0.83 acres by mechanized land clearing. Wetland impacts by community type,
as classified by NCDOT, are as follows:
Table 1. Wetland Impacts for R-2238 AA, AB, and BA.
Wetland Community Type Total Project Impact Acres
Mixed Pine-Hardwood Headwater Forest 0.16
Successional Hardwood-Herbaceous Headwater Forest 0.17
Hardwood Headwater Forest 0.51
Hardwood Forest 2.89
Mixed Pine-Hardwood Forest 0.17
Successional Hardwood-Herbaceous Wetland 0.27
Successional Herbaceous Wetland 0.03
Riverine bottomland hardwood forest 0.29
Total 4.49
Note: Information specific to each wetland site provided by NCDOT indicated that the total permanent wetland
impacts from the proposed project are 4.43 acres. This total differs from the total wetland impact listed above due
to rounding of significant digits.
In order to compensate for the unavoidable 4.49 acres of wetland impacts associated with
this project, NCDOT proposes to use the Barra Farms Mitigation Bank located in Cumberland
County, if available. If Barra Farms is not available, NCDOT proposes to use its Dowd Dairy
Farm mitigation site to provide compensatory mitigation for the unavoidable wetland impacts
associated with this project.
In order to compensate for the unavoidable 2,031 feet of stream impacts associated with
this project, NCDOT proposes to provide 688 feet of on-site mitigation and 2,686 feet of off-site
mitigation. The proposed project will relocate a total of 688 feet of stream channel to on-site
locations at site VII in Section AB and at sites 3,9,11,13,16, and 18 in Section BA. These
relocated stream segments will approximate existing stream conditions and thus provide 688 feet
(1:1 ratio) of compensatory stream mitigation. For the remaining 1,343 of unavoidable stream
impacts, NCDOT proposes to utilize the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program to
provide 2,686 feet (2:1 ratio) of compensatory stream mitigation.

Preliminary design plans, a copy of the corridor public hearing maps, and FONSI are
available for review at the Wilmington Regulatory Field Office of the Wilmington District Corps
of Engineers, 69 Darlington Avenue, Wilmington, North Carolina 28402.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to decide the need for the
applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No DA permit will be issued until the
coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) has
decided the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33
U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in the
notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing
shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of
Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being
eligible for inclusion therein, and this site is not registered property or property listed as being
eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register is the extent of
cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the
presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or
historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed
activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision, whether to issue a permit, will be based on an evaluation of the probable
impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the
public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts that the proposed activity may have on the
public interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors that become relevant in each
particular case. The benefits that may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced
against its foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the
conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore decided by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection
and use of important resources. All factors that may be relevant to the proposal must be
considered including the cumulative effects of it. Among those are conservation, economics,
aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards and flood plain values (according to Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation,
shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership,
and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of
dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge
that would be authorized would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's
404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or
criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer decides that it would be contrary to
the public interest.

-5-
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local
agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties to consider and evaluate the
impacts of this proposed activit . Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of
Engineers to decide whether to i sue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To
make this decision, comments a e used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic
properties, water quality, genera environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed
above. Comments are used in t e preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an
Environmental Impact Statemen (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also us d to decide the need for a public hearing and to decide the
public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this DA permit will not be made until the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification
required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDWQ considers whether the proposed
activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The
application and this public notice for the DA permit serves as application to the NCDWQ for
certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the
offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ), Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such
materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
All persons wanting to mare comments regarding the application for Clean Water Act
certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ), 4401 Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-1786, on or before May 31,
1999, Attention: Mr. John Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in
this office, Attention: Mr. Dave Timpy, until 4:00 p.m., June 7, 1999.

Dear Mr. Timpy:
This is the report of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on Public Notice (PN) ID
#199302820, dated May 6, 1999. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
has applied for a Department of the Army (DOA) permit to discharge dredged or fill material
into 4.49 acres of wetlands of the United States, and permanently impact 2,031 linear feet of
stream, for the widening of existing NC 87 between Manchester Road (SR 1451) in Spring Lake,
Cumberland County and the Harnett-Lee County Line, North Carolina (TIP No. R-2238 AA,
AB, and BA).
This report is submitted in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 stat. 401,
as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). It is to be used in your determination of compliance with the
Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) Guidelines (40 CPR 230) and in your public
interest review (33 CPR 320.4) as they relate to protection of fish and wildlife resources.
The NC'DOT proposes to wirier existing NC 97 to a multilann faei lity with a total length of 15.6
miles. The proposed project consists of three segments AA, AB, and BA. Section AA will
widen the existing roadway between Manchester Road (SR 1451) and the Cumberland County
Line to a five-lane roadway. Sections AB and BA will widen the existing roadway from the
Cumberland County Line to Olivia, North Carolina to a four-lane divided roadway with a 46-foot
median with grassed shoulders. The existing interchanges at NC 24 and NC 27 will be modified
to include extension of ramps and the construction of new bridges with appropriate dock widths.
The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing bridge at Lower Little River in Cumberland
County with a new five-lane bridge.
The project will involve filling of 3.53 acres of wetland, excavation of 0.07 acre of wotland, and
clearing of 0.83 acre of wetland. To mitigate for wetland impacts the NCDOT proposes to use
the Barra Farms Mitigation Bank in Cumberland County if available, or the Dowd Dairy Farm
mitigation site. In order to compensate for 2,031 linear feet of stream impacts associated with

Cumberland County
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your submittal for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the
aforementioned project. Review of your application revealed that a complete stream mitigation plan was
not included. The application contained a proposal for onsite relocations that was proposed as mitigation.
Review of the permit revealed that the information presented in the application was insufficient and
inaccurate. Moreover, the application contained a proposal for use of the NC Wetlands Restoration
Program for the residual of the mitigation requirements. The DWQ considers the use of the Wetlands
Restoration Program to be an acceptable form of mitigation. However, the WRP is not always able to
provide the mitigation work requested by NCDOT. Therefore, until the additional information requested for
the permit is supplied, and a letter from the NC Wetlands Restoration Program indicating their willingness
and ability to perform the work is received, your permit application will be considered incomplete.
Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 2h .0507(a)(4), we will have to place the permit application on hold until
we are supplied the necessary information. Furthermore, until the information is received by the NC
Division of Water Quality, we request (by copy of this letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers place
the permit application on hold.
Hopefully, we can work together to expedite the processing of your permit application. If you have any
questions or require additional information, please contact either myself of John Hennessy at 919-733-1786.

Subject: Proposed widening of NC 87 to a multilane facility between Manchester
Road (SR 1451) in Spring Lake, Cumberland County to the Harnett-Lee
County Line. TIP No. R-2238 AA, AB, and BA. State Project No.
8.T540302; Federal Aid Project No. NHF-87(4).
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to widen existing NC
87 to a multilane facility between Manchester Road (SR 1451) in Spring Lake,
Cumberland County to the Harnett-Lee County Line for a total of 25.2 km (15.6 mi).
The proposed project is needed to provide adequate capacity for predicted traffic
volumes. It is projected that 13,300 to 25,400 vehicles per day will be using the roadway
in the year 2010. NC 87 comprises part of the North Carolina Intrastate system and
serves as an important connector route between I-85/I-40 and I-95.
NEPA Documentation
An Environmental Assessment (EA) was approved by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) on April 16, 1993. The EA explains the purpose and need for
the project, provides a description of the project and characterizes the social, economic,
and environmental effects of the project. After the EA was approved and circulated, a
Public Hearing on the location and design was held on July 13, 1993. On February 25,
1995, the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was approved. Copies of the EA
and FONSI have been provided to the regulatory review agencies involved in the
approval process. Additional copies will be provided upon request.

Jurisdictional Status
Construction of the proposed project will necessitate impacts to Waters of the
United States. Surface waters will be affected by the extension of culverts and pipes at
stream crossings, stream relocation, and temporary fill utilized in the construction of a
bridge over the Lower Little River. A jurisdictional stream determination was conducted
on February 8-10, 1999. The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) has
provided guidance to differentiate between perennial streams, intermittent streams, and
stormwater channels. These guidelines are presented in Field Location of'Streams,
Ditches, and Ponding (NCDENR, 1997). Wetland delineations were conducted using
the field delineation method outlined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987). Section AA was delineated on
January 24, 1995. Section AB was delineated on May 25-26. 1996 and verified by
USACE field representative Scott McLendon on June 25. 1996. Section BA was
delineated on March 17, 1998. A field review of all three sections was conducted by
USACE field representative Dave Timpy, NCDWQ field representative Ken Averitte and
North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission field representative David Cox on March
23, 1999.
Summary of Project Impacts
Construction of the proposed project will result in 3.53 ac till in wetlands, 0.07 ac
excavation in wetlands, 0.83 ac permanent wetland impact due to mechanized clearing
(using Modified Method III, which is clearing 5 ft beyond construction limits), 0.42 ac
fill in surface water (stream), 0.32 ac fill in surface water (pond). 0.07 ac temporary fill in
surface water (stream), 2,031 ft existing channel filled, and 718 ft relocated channel.
Project Let Schedule
For construction purposes, the widening of NC 87 has been broken down into
sections. Table 1 reflects the project breakdown, section termini, and project let dates. A
map depicting the sections associated with TIP No. R-2238 is attached. The let date for
Section BB was December 1996. NCDOT received a permit for impacts to Waters of the
U. S. for this section, which will be completed in June 1999. Sections AA, AB, and BA
are being completed under separate design and construction contracts. Accordingly, the
permit drawings for each section were independently prepared.

Section AA
There are a total of six jurisdictional sites on this section. These are labeled Sites
1 through 6 (see Sheets 1 of 11 to 11 of 11) in the attached permit application. Impacts
on jurisdictional areas of this section consist of 0.27 ac fill in wetlands, 0.05 ac
permanent wetland impact due to mechanized clearing (Modified Method III), <0.03 ac
fill in surface water (stream), 0.07 temporary fill in surface water (stream) and 43 ft
existing channel filled. Compensatory mitigation will be required for 43 ft of stream
impact in Section AA. All wetland systems Section AA are non-riverine. Impacts to this
section are summarized in Table 2 and outlined in the summary sheet for Section AA
(Sheet 10 of 11).

Replacement of the bridge over the Lower Little River in Cumberland County is
necessary to provide the widened roadway width (see Site 5). This will consist of
replacing the existing structure with another structure in the same location. The
construction sequence will proceed as follows: part of the new structure will be built
adjacent to the existing structure; traffic will be shifted to the new structure; the existing
structure will be removed; and, the remainder of the new structure will be constructed.
A restoration plan, schedule for restoration of temporary fill areas, and a disposal
plan were provided by NCDOT Structure Design Unit (see attached memo dated
February 19, 1999). A temporary rock causeway will be required for the bridge in order
to provide for construction access. The causeway will facilitate the construction of
drilled shafts and the placement of prestressed concrete girders. The causeway will
consist of Class II rip rap topped with a layer of smaller stone.

Restoration Plan: The materials used as temporary fill in the construction of the
causeway will be removed. The temporary fill areas will be graded back to the
original contours. Elevations and contours in the vicinity of the proposed causeway
are available from the field survey notes.
Schedule: The schedule currently calls for a September 21, 1999 let date with an
availability date of November 1, 1999. It is expected the contractor will choose to
start the construction of the causeway at that time. At the completion of the bridge,
the contractor will remove the temporary causeway. This should occur after
approximately two years. All materials will be removed by the contractor and
disposed of off-site.
_Removal and Disposal Plan: The contractor will use excavating equipment to remove
the rip rap used for the temporary causeways. All material placed in the river will be
removed from the river. After the temporary rock causeway is no longer needed, all
causeway material will become the property of the contractor. The contractor will be
required to submit a reclamation plan for the removal of and disposal of all materials
off-site.
Demolition and Removal: NCDOT Best Management Practices,/or Bridge
Demolition and Removal (Draft) will be adhered to during the life of the project (see
attached document dated March 19, 1999). These practices establish a consistent,
environmentally sound approach to the demolition and removal of bridges to North
Carolina's public road systems. These guidelines are an addendum to (and not a
replacement for) NCDOT Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface
Water. The primary objective of these guidelines shall be to protect the water quality
and aquatic life of the affected environment in the vicinity of the project.
Section AB
There are a total of I l jurisdictional sites on this section. These are labeled Sites I
through XI (see Sheets 1 of 25 to 25 of 25) in the attached permit application. Impacts on
jurisdictional areas of this section consist of 2.54 ac fill in wetlands, 0.05 ac of excavation
in wetlands, 0.52 ac permanent wetland impact due to mechanized clearing (Modified
Method III), 0.05 ac fill in surface water (stream), 0.03 ac fill in surface water (pond),
502 ft existing channel filled, and 55 ft relocated channel. Compensatory mitigation will
be required for 447 ft of stream impact in Section AB. The segment of relocated stream
is located at Site VII and is discussed below:
• Site 7: The segment of relocated channel is located within a wetland and is too small
to create meanders. This site will be revegetated with grass and the base of the
relocated channel will be constructed to match the existing base to maintain existing
depth of water. Based on this design, the segment of relocated channel will continue
to support that use exhibited by the existing channel and approximate existing stream
conditions. A total of 161 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at this site and
55 ft of the stream will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for
I
this segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 106 ft of stream loss will
require mitigation at this site.
All wetland systems in Section AR are non-riverine. Impacts to this section are
summarized in Table 3 and outlined in t1i, summary sheet for ?._,ction AB (Sheet 24 of
25).

will be required for 853 ft of stream impact in Section BA. Segments of relocated stream
are located at Sites 3, 6, 9, 11, 13, 16 and 18. These Sites are discussed below:
• Site 3: Impacts to this stream from project construction are primarily restricted to its
current location in a pipe under SR 1113 and a stretch of channelized stream located
between SR 1 113 and existing NC 87. NCDOT will revegetate the along the
relocated channel, where feasible, with similar forest species that naturally occur
adjacent to the project site. The base width of the relocated channel will be
constructed to match the existing channel to maintain the existing depth of water.
Based on this design, the segment of relocated channel will continue to support that
use exhibited by the existing channel and approximate existing stream conditions. A
total of 164 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at this site and 105 ft of the
stream will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for this
segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 59 ft of stream loss will
require mitigation at this site.
Site 6: A segment of Cypress Creek will be relocated at the culvert outlet at this site.
The segment of relocated channel is located within a wetland and is too small to
create meanders. According to the NCDOT Hydraulics Unit, rip rap must be placed
along the relocated channel because of the high velocity at the outlet. The base width
of the relocated channel will be constructed to match the existing channel to maintain
the existing depth of water. NCDOT will not claim on-site mitigation for this
segment of relocated channel.
Site 9: A total of 344 ft of relocated channel is located at this site. NCDOT will
revegetate along the relocated channel, where feasible, with similar forest species that
naturally occur adjacent to the project site. The base width of the relocated channel
will be constructed to match the existing channel to maintain the existing depth of
water. Rip rap is located along the base and bank at the extreme limits of the channel
relocation. According to the NCDOT Hydraulics Unit, this is necessary because of
stream velocities at these areas. Based on this design, the segment of relocated
channel will continue to support that use exhibited by the existing channel and
approximate existing stream conditions. A total of 367 ft of existing stream channel
will be filled at this site and 344 ft of the stream will be relocated. NCDOT will
claim on-site stream mitigation for this segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio.
Accordingly, 23 ft of stream loss will require mitigation at this site.
Site 11: A very small segment of intermittent stream will be relocated at this site.
The banks of this stream will be revegetated with grass. The base width of the
relocated channel will be constructed to match the existing channel to maintain the
existing depth of water. Based on this design, the segment of relocated channel will
continue to support that use exhibited by the existing channel and approximate
existing stream conditions. A total of 56 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at
this site and 39 ft of the stream will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream
mitigation for this segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 17 ft of
stream loss will require mitigation at this site.
Site 13: A perennial segment of Dry Creek will be relocated at this site. This stream
is located parallel to NC 87 and appears to have been previously relocated to its
7
current location. NCDOT will revegetate along the relocated channel, where feasible,
with similar forest species that naturally occur adjacent to the project site. The base
width of the relocated channel will be constructed to match the existing channel to
maintain the existing depth of water. Rip rap is located near the outlet of the
proposed pipe and near a bend in the relocated channel. According to the NCDOT
Hydraulics Unit, this is necessary because of stream velocities at these areas. Based
on this design, the segment of relocated channel will continue to support that use
exhibited by the existing channel and approximate existing stream conditions. A total
of 171 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at this site and 102 ft of the stream
will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for this segment of
relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 69 ft of stream loss will require
mitigation at this site.
• Site 16: A small segment of perennial stream will be relocated at this site. The banks
of this stream will be revegetated with grass. The base width of the relocated channel
will be constructed to match the existing channel to maintain the existing depth of
water. Rip rap is located along the southern bank of this stream. According to the
NCDOT Hydraulics Unit, this is necessary because of stream velocities at this area.
Based on this design, the segment of relocated channel will continue to support that
use exhibited by the existing channel and approximate existing stream conditions. A
total of 131 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at this site and 30 ft of the
stream will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for this
segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 101 ft of stream loss will
require mitigation at this site.
• Site 18: A small segment of perennial stream will be relocated at this site. The banks
of this stream will be revegetated with grass. The base width of the relocated channel
will be constructed to match the existing channel to maintain the existing depth of
water. Based on this design, the segment of relocated channel will continue to support
that use exhibited by the existing channel and approximate existing stream conditions.
A total of 92 ft of existing stream channel will be filled at this site and 13 ft of the
stream will be relocated. NCDOT will claim on-site stream mitigation for this
segment of relocated stream at a 1:1 ratio. Accordingly, 79 ft of stream loss will
require mitigation at this site.
All wetland systems in Section BA are non-riverine except for Site 6 which is
riverine. Impacts to this section are summarized in Table 4 and outlined in the summary
sheet for Section BA (Sheet 22 of 22).

Biological Conclusions of No Effect for the above-mentioned species (excluding
red-cockaded woodpecker) were resolved in several documents including the
Environmental Assessment, ROW consultations and Construction Consultations. Dr. J.
H. Carter and Associates assessed the impact of this project on red-cockaded
woodpecker populations and foraging habitat. Their report, "Red-cockaded woodpecker
Assessment for Widening off. C. Highway 87 (R-2238), Cumberland, Harnett, and Lee
Counties, North Carolina," dated July 19, 1994 (see FONSI), provides details of the
impact on six active RCW foraging territories, one inactive cavity tree, and one relic
cavity tree at the Overhills' Farm property (see FONSI). After consultation, the U. S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concluded that the project is not likely to jeopardize
the continued existence of red-cockaded woodpeckers. (USFWS, January 20, 1995, see
FONSI). This determination is based on the availability of suitable foraging habitat and
the fact that no breeding groups of red-cockaded woodpeckers will be lost. The USFWS
recommended that FHWA seek the property owner's permission and undertake action to
improve at least one existing cavity or provide for one new cavity and/or start within
existing clusters on the Overhills' property. NCDOT has outlined several environmental
commitments outlined in the FONSI
Cultural Resources
Archaeological resource survey work was conducted in 1990. No sites were
assessed as potentially •?igible for nomination to the National Register of Historic
Places. It was recomrr nded that no additional archaeological investigation be
undertaken in connection with the project. On August 2, 1990, the State Historic
10
Preservation Office (SHPO) concurred with the above-mentioned recommendation (see
EA)
Two sites were assessed as potentially eligible for the National Register of
Historic Places: Overhills Property and Hickman-Howard House. The proposed
widening of NC 87 will involve the use of land from both of these properties. On July
10, 1992, the SHPO stated that the project will have no adverse effect on these sites
conditioned upon environmental commitments outlined in the FONSI (see EA and
FONSI).
Environmental Commitments
NCDOT has made several environmental commitments for the proposed project
outlined in the FONSI. The primary commitments concern the red-cockaded
woodpecker and the Overhills Property and Hickman-Howard House.
Red-cockaded woodpecker: Several commitments were addressed in the FONSI. These
include:
1. Project impacts are based on a maximum cleared corridor of 64 to 80 ft on the
eastern side of the existing NC 87 highway ROW within the Overhills tract, with the
removal of a combined total of 1,420 sq ft pine basal area (BA) and 1,266 pine stems
> 10-in diameter breast height (dbh) from the six clusters (# 17, 18, 19, 24, 26, and
35).
2. Direct impacts to cluster # 18 will be limited to the removal of two cavity trees,
49463 and #9465.
3. Direct impacts to cluster 424 will be limited to the removal of a maximum of 170 sq
ft BA and 160 pine stems >10-in dbh for the construction of the proposed facility.
These trees will not be removed prior to 1999.
4. All possible measures will be taken to avoid an incidental take of RCW.
5. It will be ensured that all possible efforts will be accomplished to seek the property
owner's permission and undertake action to improve at least one existing cavity or
provide for one new cavity and/or start within the existing clusters on the Overhills
property.
Overhills Property and Howard-Hickman House: NCDOT will provide landscaping and
choice of plant materials, in consultation with the SHPO Officer, in the median and
along the ROW in the vicinity of the Overhills Property and the Hickman-Howard
House. Clearing and grubbing will be limited to the minimal construction limits within
the ROW.
NCDOT Design Services Unit has addressed commitments 1-4 in the most recent
design. These parameters are still committed to by NCDOT. Concerning commitment 5,
Mr. Christopher Elliman (Co-Managing Director of the Overhills Partnership) was
contacted regarding Parameter 5 (see attached letter dated May 1, 1995 from B.J.
O'Quinn [NCDOT] to Nicholas Graf [FHWA]). The letter reported that Mr. Elliman
indicated reservations about RCW enhancement or provisioning on Overhills. Based on
this information, NCDOT does not intend to take any further action regarding this matter.
By letter of May 18, 1995, the FHWA informed the FWS that NCDOT had sought -
permission for the action. In an attached letter dated July 7, 1995, the USFWS stated
their appreciation for the efforts by FHWA and NCDOT to implement their
recommendation.
Mitigation
The USACE adopted, through the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), a
wetland mitigation policy that embraces the concept of "no net loss of wetlands" and
sequencing. The purpose of this policy is to restore and maintain the chemical,
biological, and physical integrity of the Waters of the United States. Mitigation of
wetland and surface water impacts has been defined by the C: EQ to include: avoiding
impacts, minimizing impacts, rectifying impacts, reducing impacts over time, and
compensating for impacts (40 CFR § 1508.20). Executive Order 11990 (Protection of
Wetlands) and DOT Order 5660.1 A (Preservation of the Nations Wetlands), emphasize
protection of the functions and values provided by wetlands. These directives require
that new construction in wetlands be avoided as much as possible. and all practicable
measures be taken to minimize or mitigate impacts to wetlands.
The NCDOT is committed to incorporating reasonable and practicable design
features to avoid and minimize wetland impacts, and to provide full compensatory
mitigation of remaining wetland impacts. Avoidance measure-, were taken during the
planning and EA/FONSI phases; minimization measures were incorporated as part of the
project design.
Avoidance
All wetland areas not affected by the project will be protected from unnecessary
encroachment. No staging of construction equipment or storage of construction supplies
will be allowed in wetlands or near surface waters. Wetland impacts were minimized on
all of R-2238 AA, AB, and BA during the preliminary designs by placing the alignment
in the most environmentally friendly area, resulting in the minimal amount of wetland
impact for this project. Wetland impacts were avoided by shifting the widening location
from one side of the existing road to the other to the extent possible in consideration of
historic sites and densely populated land use. Some wetlands cannot be avoided due to
their location on both sides of the road. However, all wetland impacts are minimized
along the existing roadway where much of the adjacent property has already been
disturbed by agriculture, residential, and commercial development (see FONSI).
Minimization
Minimization includes the examination of appropriate and practicable steps to
reduce the adverse impacts. Minimization techniques were implemented as follows:
12
Slopes: In wetlands the side-slopes have been steepened to the extent
possible.
2. Best Management Practices: Strict enforcement of sedimentation and
erosion control Best Management Practices (BMP) for the protection of
surface waters and wetlands.
Ditching: It is the policy of the NCDOT to eliminate lateral ditching in
wetlands as much as possible, thus preserving the hydrology of adjacent
wetlands.
4. Rip Rap: The NCDOT Hydraulics Unit has reduced the amount of rip rap
in all stretches of relocated channel.
Compensation
Mitigation is generally accomplished through a combination of methods designed
to replace wetland functions and values lost as a result of construction of the project.
Compensation may take the form of mitigation banking, contributions to wetland trust
funds, or replacing lost wetland functions and values on-site. Replacing lost wetland
functions and values may be accomplished through creating, restoring, enhancing, or
preserving similar functions and values in constructed or improved wetlands. When
practicable, replacement wetland standards are to provide new wetlands either preceding
the wetland losses or concurrently with the losses so that wetlands are functioning at all
times during the construction process.
A total of 2,031 ft of existing channel will be filled by project construction.
Segments of relocated channel totaling 718 ft are located at Site VII on Section AB and at
Sites 3, 6, 9, 11. 13, 16, and 18 on Section BA. All of these relocated channel segments,
except for Site 6 on Section BA (which total 30 ft), will provide on-site mitigation as
these relocated segments approximate existing stream conditions. Therefore, the amount
of on-site stream mitigation at a 1:1 ratio is 688 ft. The amount of relocated stream
segments approximating existing stream conditions subtracted from the total existing
channel filled is the amount of stream impact that will require compensatory mitigation.
Accordingly, a total of 1,343 of stream loss impacts will require compensatory
mitigation. NCDOT intends to utilize the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program
to provide mitigation for stream loss at the project. If this is accepted, NCDOT proposes
to pay $335,750 to the WRP (at $125 per foot of impact at a 2:1 ratio) for compensatory
stream mitigation.
Construction of the proposed project will result in 4.43 ac of wetland impacts.
This includes 3.53 ac fill in wetlands, 0.07 ac excavation in wetlands and 0.83 ac
permanent wetland impact due to mechanized clearing (using Modified Method III).
Wetland impacts by community type are presented in Table 6.

Total 4.49 ac
Note: Impact totals per community type identified in this table do not equal the
accurate, total wetland acreage identified throughout this report (which is 4.43 ac).
Impacts identified in this table are slightly affected by rounding to significant digits.
A total of eight community types were identified within the project limits, and are
identified in the Table 6. These community types are addressed below:
Mixed Pine-Hardwood Headwater Forest, Successional Hardwood-Herbaceous
Headwater Forest, and Hardwood Headwater Forest: Headwater forests are highly
diverse wetlands that develop in the upper parts of basins where streams begin to
form. At the project area, these sites are irregularly flooded by surface runoff or
saturated by groundwater discharge. Plants observed here include loblolly pine
(Pinus taeda), red maple (Ater rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua),
American elm (Ulmus americans), giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea), sedge (Carex
sp.), soft rush (Juncus effusus), sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), and titi (('yrilla
racemiflora).
Hardwood Forest: These sites are located on poorly drained flats. Perennial stream
channels are present in most instances; however, the hydrology at the site is often
driven by a shallow groundwater table. Plants located here are typical of bottomlands
and include laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipipra), red
maple, black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), giant cane,
sedge, soft rush, meadow beauty (Rhexia sp.), seed box (Ludwigia sp.), elderberry
(Sambucus canadensis), sweet gum and sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana)
Mixed Pine-Hardwood Forest: One example of this community is located in Section
AA. It is located in a small drainage basin and appears to have been disturbed in the
recent past. The primary source of hydrology appears to be surface runoff and a
shallow groundwater table. Plants observed here include loblolly pine, elderberry,
tulip poplar, red maple, greenbrier (Smilax sp.), sweetgum, and poison ivy
(Toxicodendron radicans).
• Successional Hardwood-Herbaceous Wetland and Successional Herbaceous Wetland:
These community types are located within power-line corridors and are irregularly
14
maintained by mowing. Sources of hydrology at these sites are shallow groundwater
table and surface runoff. Plant species observed here include soft rush, sedge, giant
cane, seed box, elderberry, sweet gum, and red maple.
Riverine bottomland hardwood forest: One example of this community type is located
in Section BA. Cypress Creek is a blackwater stream that flows through this wetland.
It appears to have a variable flow regime with floods of short duration and periods of
low flow. It has an uneven-aged canopy dominated by laurel oak, red maple, green
ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), river birch (Betula nigra), sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis), and sweetgum.
NCDOT is proposing to utilize credits from the Barra Farms Mitigation Bank in
Cumberland County. Barra Farms Mitigation Bank is owned by Ecobank. The Barra
Farms Mitigation Bank Instrument was approved by the USACE. On October 16, 1997.
NCDOT agreed to purchase 232 mitigation credits from Ecobank. One purchased credit
will be sufficient to mitigate for one acre of wetland impact. Therefore, a total of 4.43
credits will be debited at Barra Farms Migation Bank for this project.
If Barra Farms is not available, NCDOT proposes to utilize its Dowd Dairy Farm
mitigation site for compensatory wetland mitigation. This mitigation site is located in the
Cape Fear River Subbasins 03-06-15 and 03-06-16 and Hydrologic Unit Nos. 0303004
and 0303005. This project, R-2238 AA, AB, and BA, is located in the Cape Fear River
Subbasins 03-06-13 and 03-06-14 and Hydrologic Unit No. 0303004.
Compensatory wetland mitigation credits for the Dowd Dairy Farm Mitigation
Site are based on wetland functions generated by restoration and comparison of restored
functions to impacted wetland resources. A base-line estimated mitigation plan for the
site includes 13 ac of restored riverine (headwater) wetlands, 518 ac of restored non-
riverine wetlands, 20 ac of restored wetland-upland ecotones, and 107 ac of restored
wetland buffers that are adjacent to perimeter canals. The NCDOT's Wetland Mitigation
Plan: Dowd Dairy Farm Wetlands, Bladen County, North Carolina (May 1997) contains
further information on this mitigation site.
Site construction for Dowd Dairy Farms Mitigation Site was divided into two
parts, Phase I and Il. Phase I consisted of clearing/grubbing/ripping most of the site,
filling lateral ditches, and adding ditch plugs. Phase I construction was completed in
September 1998. Planting for this phase was completed in March 1999. All monitoring
wells have been installed and monitoring has begun. Phase II construction, which will
consist of filling the central channel and installation of related ditch plugs, will begin in
summer 1999 and will be completed by December 1999. The final planting for Phase II
will be completed by March 2000.
Construction of the proposed project will result in 4.43 ac of wetland impacts due
to fill, excavation, and mechanized clearing. These impacts can be separated into 0.29
ac of riverine impacts and 4.14 ac of non-riverine impacts. In order to offset these
wetland impacts associated with the project, NCDOT will propose to utilize restoration
mitigation at a 2:1 ratio. Accordingly, NCDOT will debit 0.6 ac of riverine wetland and
15
8.3 ac of non-riverine wetland at the Dowd Dairy Farm Mitigation Site. Table 7
summarizes the mitigation proposal for R-2238 AA, AB, and BA and R-2562 AA and
AB if the Dowd Dairy Farms Mitigation Site is utilized for wetland mitigation.

SUBJECT. Cumberland-Harnett Countv. Replacement of Bridge No. 23 on
NC 871NC 24 over Lower Little River. State Project 8.T540302.
TIP No. R-2238A, .
in response u". " 'U Fch? Vary 18, 1999 concerning the preparation of section 40
permit application, we are providing the following informatic:
Temporary rock causeway will be required for the bridge in order to provide for construction
access. The causeway will facilitate the construction of drilled shafts and the placement of
prestressed concrete girders. The causeway will consist of Class 11 rip rap topped with a lay U.
smaller stone.
1. Restoration Plan:
The materials used as temporary till in the construction of the causewa% - .V111 De
The temporary fill areas will oe graded back to the original contours. Elevations anu
contours in the vicinity of the proposed causeway are ,-.vallable from the ,urvoy note:..
Sep t- . 6?c, Z t ? I `I ci 9
2. A schedule for the restoration of the temporary areas: C --A 3115-M -1
The project schedule currently calls for a??L let date with an availability date of
june 28--1-9". It is expected the contractor will -hoose to start the construction of the
causeway at that time. At the completion of the bridge the contractor will remove the
Nuu(-4tr \i temporary causeway. This should occur after approximately two years. All materials will
19q be removed by the contractor and disposed of off-site.
C-545i99
The contractor will use excavating equipment to remove the rip rap used for the temporary
causeways. All material placed in the river will be removed from the river.

Mr. H. Franklin Vick
Manager, Planning and Environmental Branch
Division of Highways
N. C. Department of Transportation
Post Office Box 25201
Raleigh, North Carolina 27636-3726
Dear Mr. Vick:
This responds to your letter of March 14, 1995 providing the U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service) with a copy of the Findings of No Significant
Impact (FONSI) for the widening of NC 87, Cumberland, Harnett, and Lee
Counties, North Carolina (T.I.P. No. R-2238). This report is provided in
accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as
amended, (16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended, (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
The FONSI addresses the proposal of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) to widen existing NC 87 to a multi-lane facility
between Manchester Road (SR 1451) in Spring Lake and the Sanford city limits,
a distance of 20.2 miles.
The FONSI states (p. 6) that the project will impact approximately 2.22 acres
of wetlands. The Service concurs that these losses are unavoidable due to the
fact that the project seeks to widen an existing road. The Service is also
pleased that the NCDOT has minimized wetland impacts by shifting the widening
location from one side of the existing road to the other to the extent
practical.
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) of February 10, 1993 noted
that the three-county project area contained six Federally-listed species.
These species were the red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) (RCW),
Cape Fear shiner (Notropis mekistocholas), pondberry (Lindera melissifolia),
rough-leaved loosestrife (Lysimachia asperulaefolia), American chaffseed
LSchwalbea americana), and harperella (Ptilimnium nodosum). All were listed as
Federally-endangered. The DEIS contained an evaluation of suitable habitat
for these species and the communities found along the proposed corridor.
These comparisons concluded that no impacts were anticipated for pondberry,
rough-leaved loosestrife, Cape Fear shiner, and harperella. Further
evaluations were proposed for the RCW and American chaffseed.
The Service issued a Biological opinion on January 20, 1995 which stated that
the project was not likely to jeopailize the continued existence of the RCW.
In that opinion the Service recomme ded a discretionary action which the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWr,) could undertake to minimize adverse
impact to the RCW. We recommended that the FHWA seek permission to undertake
actions to improve at least one existing cavity or provide for one new cavity
and/or start within existing clusters on the Overhills, property. By letter
of May 18, 1995 the FHWA informed the Service that the NCDOT had sought
permission for the action, but the landowner was not receptive to this effort.
The Service appreciates FHWA and NCDOT's attempt to implement this
recommendation.
The FONSI (p. 9) notes that since the 1993 DEIS St. Francis' satyr (Neonympha
mitchelli francisci), a Federally-endangered butterfly, has been added to the
list of Cumberland County. The FONSI also states (p. iii) that surveys will
be made for suitable habitat and occurrence of American chaffseed and St.
Francis' satyr prior to right-of-way acquisition. The Service is concerned
that this FONSI was issued without any information regarding potential impacts
to the American chaffseed and St. Francis' satyr. We suggest that the NCDOT
make the necessary arrangements to conduct surveys for theses species as soon
as possible, and make a final determination of effect, so that the Service may
conclude its review of this project.
Section 8 of the FONSI, entitled "Endangered Species", does not mention the
four Federally-endangered species which the DEIS concluded were not likely to
be impacted by the project. The FONSI should address each species which is
currently listed as either Federally-endangered or threatened, with a
statement of potential effect by the project, and the basis for this
conclusion, such as a brief discussion of the methods, level of effort, and
results of species surveys and/or habitat surveys and opinions of species
experts.
Due to the lack of data regarding potential impacts of tr?e proposed project cn
Federally-listed species, the Service is unable to concu.: with a FONSI at this:
time. The Service is prepared to assist both the FHWA and the NCDOT in
fulfilling their obligations under Section 7 of the Act, and we will be
pleased to review survey methods and results as well as the final effect
determinations.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this project. Please
continue to advise us of the progress of this project, including your official
determination of its impacts. If our office can supply any additional
information or clarification, please contact Howard Hall, the biologist
reviewing this project, at (919)-856-4520, ext 27.

Tom A 92? rger

Draft Best Management Practices
For Bridge Demolition and Removal
The following Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and Removal
(BMP-BDR) was developed in coordination with the Army Corps of Engineers (COE),
the Wildlife Resource Commission, the National Marine Fisheries Service, and others
with the goal of establishing a consistent, environmentally sound approach to the
demolition and removal of bridges on North Carolina's public road systems. These
Practices shall be an addendum to (not a replacement for) NCDOT's Best Management
Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters.
The primary objective of these guidelines shall be to protect the water quality and
aquatic life of the affected environment in the vicinity of a project. The Department shall
use these BMP-BDR consistently on all projects involving bridge removal over a water
body.
BMP-BDR's AFFECTING PLANNING PHASE
All projects shall be categorized at the planning stage as Case 1, 2, or 3. For
Case 1 "in water" work is restricted to an absolute minimum, due to the presence of
Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) or Threatened and/or Endangered Species (T&E
Species). All work potentially effecting the resource will be carefully coordinated with
the agency having jurisdiction. Case 2 allows no work at all in the water during
moratorium periods associated with fish migration, spawning, and larval recruitment into
nursery areas. Case 3 is where there are no special restrictions beyond those outlined in
Best Management Practices for Protection of Surface Waters and the supplements added
by this document on Bridge Demolition. All three Cases are subject to BMP-BDR's.
During the planning stages of a project, the impacts of Bridge Demolition shall be
considered and then addressed in the planning document. An approximation of the
volume of bridge debris which is to be dropped into Waters of the United States is to be
summarized. The quantification shall be a simple calculation of discharge quantities
(length of bridge multiplied by an approximate rectangular cross section of bridge deck
and beams plus a similar calculation of the bridge piers) in cubic yards. NCDOT's
Natural Resources Technical Report (NRTR) shall summarize possible impacts to aquatic
life and to water quality. Because it is not feasible to establish the extent or potential use
of causeways during the planning document, the NRTR shall assume that there will be
causeways or construction pads and address their impacts qualitatively but not
quantitatively.
During the planning stages of a project, the Wildlife Resource Commission, the
Division of Water Quality, the Division of Marine Fisheries, or National Marine Fisheries
Service may indicate a special concern regarding increased sediment levels during
construction. During their NRTR field investigations, the NCDOT Natural Systems
Specialist shall determine if the streambed is composed of such a material. In the event
that disturbance of the streambed would create sedimentation concerns, the sediment
shall be contained where feasible by means of turbidity curtains (or similar devices)
Draft
3-19-99
surrounding the area of concern. It shall be noted in the Environmental Commitments
Section of the Planning Document as to whether this measure is appropriate.
BMP-BDR's AFFECTING DESIGN/ PERMIT PHASE
During design of a project, quantification estimates of fill due to causeways and
workpads (associated with both demolition and construction) shall be forwarded to the
Natural Systems Specialist responsible for obtaining project permits. In addition, all
appropriate BMP-BDR shall be included in the plans (e.g. turbidity curtains). With the
exception of timber bridges, there is no practical way of knowing whether dropping
components of a bridge into the water will be required before the project has been let to
construction.
As a result, a worst case scenario will be assumed for the purposes of the permit
with the understanding that NCDOT shall under no circumstance pursue that course
of action unless the contractor can demonstrate to the Resident Engineer and to the
Army Corps of Engineers that there is/are no feasible avoidance measure(s). In that
event, the Resident Engineer and contractor will strict/}, adhere to file guidelines set
out below.
BMP-BDR's AFFECTING CONSTRUCTION
It is not the intention of these guidelines to prevent the creativity of the contractor
in the removal of the bridge. If the contractor or Resident Engineer devises a means of
removal that retains the spirit of these guidelines but does not adhere to the letter, such a
means will be considered by the NCDOT Resident Engineer. the NCDOT Natural
Systems Specialist, and the federal and/or state agency representative(s). With that
caveat in mind, the following guidelines will be applied as appropriate during the
construction and demolition stages of a project:
• The contractor shall be required to submit a plan for bridge demolition and debris
removal to the Resident Engineer, and must receive written approval from the
Resident Engineer prior to any demolition work beginning.
• If there is a special resource, Case 1 (for example a Threatened or Endangered
Species), pointed out in the document, special provisions will apply to both the
construction of the new structure and demolition and removal of the old structure.
Such special provisions may supersede the guidelines herein.
Bridge Shall Be Removed Without Dropping Components Into The Water
• If a bridge is to be removed in a fashion such that there is a practical alternative
to dropping bridge components into the water, that alternative shall be followed.
In the case of a concrete deck, the bridge deck shall be removed by sawing
completely through the concrete thickness. Removal may be in sections out between
the beams or a cut full length of span between the beams. No part of the structure

will be allowed to fall into the water. The concrete shall be removed from the site
intact and placed/retained in an upland disposal area.
• If it is determined that components of the bridge must be dropped into the water, all
efforts will be made to minimize the overall impact to the surface waters. If the
bridge is composed of several spans, the demolition shall occur one span at a time.
Components from a given span which have been dropped into the water must be
removed from the water before demolition can proceed to the next span.
• If it is determined that components of the bridge must be dropped into the water, any
and all asphalt wearing surface shall be removed and not dropped into the water.
• If a CAMA permit is required, dropping any component of a bridge into the water
will not be acceptable unless it is proven that there is no feasible alternative. Such an
activity would require coordination with and approval of CAMA.
• Every bridge to be removed which is constructed completely of timber shall be
removed without dropping components of the bridge into the water. If an unusual
circumstance arises where the contractor believes that a bridge component must be
dropped into the water, the contractor must alert the Resident Engineer. The Resident
Engineer shall coordinate with the Army Corps of Engineers and the Natural Systems
Specialist who obtained the permit to discuss the necessary course of action. This is
anticipated to be a rare occurrence.
• If the substructure of a bridge includes timber or steel piles, they shall be removed by
cutting them off level with surface of the streambed. In no circumstance are the piles
to remain above the surface of the streambed. This shall be accomplished in a fashion
which minimizes the increase of sediment into the surface waters. As an exception,
piles that are in conflict with the proposed piers may be completely removed by
pulling. Timber or steel piles will be removed in a fashion that does not allow the
pile to fall into the water. In tidal areas it may be necessary to remove the piers
completely or to some depth below the substrate because of sand/current movement
over time. Such a need will be established in the Planning Document Environmental
Commitments Section
Non Shattering Methods
• Every bridge demolition shall be accomplished by non-shattering methods.
Shattering means any method which would scatter debris. A wrecking ball is no
longer an acceptable tool for bridge removal. Explosives, a "hoe-ram", or other
comparable tools may be used in such a fashion that fractures but does not shatter and
scatter bridge components into the water. A possible exception to this rule might be a
concrete arch bridge in which case a method shall be found which minimizes impact
to the extent practical and feasible. In the case of an exception, the method of
demolition will be developed in consultation with the appropriate federal and state
agencies.

Use of Explosives
In the event that there is not a practical alternative to non-shattering, alternate
methods of bridge demolition shall be discussed with and approved by the Army
Corps of Engineers and other federal and state resource agencies having jurisdiction
over the resource.
All parties involved recognize that explosives are sometimes required to remove
components of a bridge. However, at the present, the proper means of applying those
explosives is not agreed upon. The consortium of agencies involved agree that over
time, we will come to agreement on the use of explosives in a form that will be
included in these BMP's for Bridge Demolition and will not require ,special
consultation. For the present, if it is determined that explosives are required to
remove any component of a bridge, that activity shall be coordinated with the Army
Corps of Engineers in addition to the state or federal agency with jurisdiction over
that particular water. This issue shall be revisited at the earliest time possible to
determine appropriate measures to include in these BMP's which shall minimize or
eliminate the consultations required in the future.
General
• Where sedimentation concerns are identified in the planning stages, the
Environmental Commitments shall call for the use of turbidity curtains (or similar
devices) in the demolition and construction phases of a project in the area of concern
to limit the impacts.
• If damage is done to the bank as a result of debris removal, the COE shall be
consulted and the bank shall be re-stabilized to natural contours using indigenous
vegetation prior to completion of activities in that period of construction.
• If the new bridge does not go back on the original alignment, the banks shall be
restored to original contours revegetated with indigenous species as appropriate.
• Any machine operating in an area which could leak engine fluids into the water shall
be inspected visually on a daily basis for leakage. If leakage is found, the fluid(s)
shall be contained and removed immediately in accordance with applicable state
regulations and guidelines, as well as the equipment repaired prior to further use.
• When pumping to de-water a drilled shaft pier, the discharge shall be into an
acceptable sediment containment bin to minimize siltation in the water.

Vosited site on March 23, 1999, The progect runs along existing highway alignment and obviously has
unavoidable WL impacts, most of whic are of minor consequence Judg*ng from the stream footage
jndecated in the block above, it appears that DOT will be required to mitigate all stream impacts,
including on-site stream relocation This issue should be resolved prior to issuance any
certification for this project, since DOT propos _s to mitigate(0-) 2:1) for 1343 feet of stream. There is
also some threatener) or endang re plead) plant along' proposed project which may or may not
