• 1.0 INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT
The applicant, Asheville Regional Airport (AVL), proposes to construct an air cargo
facility and associated infrastructure. The project, known as the Asheville Airport Cargo
Hold Expansion, will include the development of land adjacent to the existing facility
which is owned by the airport.
1.1 Project Location
The Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion will be located south of Asheville
and immediately west of the existing airport in Buncombe County, North
Carolina. A site vicinity map is included for review (Figure 1). To access the site
from Asheville, take I-26 East to Exit 40 (Airport Road/NC Highway 280). Turn
right (south) onto Airport Road and continue approximately 1.25 miles. Past the
airport, turn right (north) onto Old Fanning Bridge Road. The project site is to the
right (east) of Old Fanning Bridge Road. In general, the site is bordered to the
north and east by the existing airport, to the south by Airport Road, and to the
west by the French Broad River. A USGS topographic map is included for
review (Figure 2).
1.2 Jurisdictional Waters
Streams within the project boundary are unnamed tributaries to the French Broad
River. The French Broad River is a navigable-in-fact water at the Wilson Bridge
. east of Brevard. The unnamed tributaries and wetlands make up the sole
hydrologic system on site. The unnamed tributaries are classified by the NC
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) as class "B" waters. A "Notification of
Jurisdictional Determination" was issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers
(Corps) on January 22, 2010 under Action ID 2010-0036. A stream and wetland
map is included for review (Figure 3).
There are three wetlands located within the project boundary. The smallest
wetland is a linear wetland (approximately 0.04 acre) that drains into the
southern-most unnamed tributary. The largest wetland on site it approximately
2.6 acres and is located west of Old Fanning Bridge Road.
The site contains the following amounts of jurisdictional waters within the project
boundary:
Proiect Boundarv Totals
Feature Amount Unit
Stream 2,455 linear feet
Wetlands 2.74 acres
Open Water 0 acres
An "Existing Site Conditions" section (Section 3.0) has been included in this
application for review and further describes the jurisdictional waters on site.
• 2.0 BACKGROUND AND PRIOR PROJECT HISTORY
The applicant received a permit for stream and wetland impacts on November 19, 2008
associated with the Asheville Regional Airport North General Expansion Project. The
Action ID associated with this project is 2007-03766-311.
An on-site jurisdictional determination meeting for the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold
Expansion project was held on December 9, 2009 with Ms. Liz Hair of the Corps and Mr.
Kevin Howell of the Asheville Regional Airport. The Corps issued a "Notification of
Jurisdictional Determination" on January 22, 2010 (Action ID 2010-0036).
A pre-application meeting was held for this project on March 9, 2010.
•

3.0 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The project site consists of grassed areas maintained by the airport and adjacent to the
existing runway, small pockets of wooded area, agricultural test plots for the NC
Department of Agriculture's Mountain Horticultural Corps Research Station, and the
Asheville Police Department gun range. The site is relatively flat with an average
elevation of approximately 2,100 feet above mean sea level (MSL).
3.1 Soils
The Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project area is located within the
Mountains physiographic region of North Carolina and more specifically the
Broad Basins Ecoregion. Soils in this ecoregion are characterized as mostly deep,
well-drained, loamy to clayey Ultisols, although there are variations between the
uplands, the high and low terraces, and the floodplains. Soil series present on site
include: Biltmore, Clifton-Urban Land complex, Dillard, Hemphill, Iotla,
Kanuga-Swannanoa complex, Rosman, Statler, Tate, Udorthents, Udorthents-
Urban Land complex, and Unison. A soils map and legend have been attached for
review (Figure 4).
3.2 Fish and Wildlife Use of the Project Site
Wildlife species inhabiting the site are limited to small mammals, birds, and
aquatic species that may be present in the small streams on site. The airport
property is surrounded by a 16-foot high wildlife fence and a heavily maintained
• grass safety area. For airport safety, this fence restricts large wildlife from
entering the airport property. Aural impacts from airplane traffic also limits the
amount of wildlife utilizing the area. Although site-specific studies and
inventories documenting species utilization of the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold
Expansion project area have not been conducted, general observations of wildlife
use were recorded during the wetland and stream delineation.
3.3 Threatened and Endangered Species
CEC has conducted a file review of records maintained by the US Fish and
Wildlife Service (FWS) and North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP).
The desktop literature review involved a review of the FWS list of protected
species in Buncombe County and the Skyland USGS Topographic Quad on which
NHP identifies current and historic occurrences of listed species for that locale.
The NHP database identifies 0 element occurrences (EO) for species with a
Federal status of threatened or endangered within a 2-mile radius of the project
site.
3.4 Cultural Resources
A desk review of the National Register of Historic Places records maintained by the
NC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) indicates two historic properties
within 5 miles of the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project area: The
Meadows (NPS Reference # 80002847) located approximately 2.8 miles from the
• project site and the Mills River Chapel (NPS Reference # 88002660) located
3
• approximately 3.4 miles from the project site. It is the opinion of CEC that
activities taking place within the project boundary will not affect the integrity of the
historic sites. The SHPO will be notified via Public Notice about the projects and
will be given the opportunity to comment on the project and its potential affects on
archaeological and cultural resources.

• 4.0 PROJECT PURPOSE
The basic project purpose of the proposed development of the Asheville Airport Cargo
Hold Expansion is to provide facilities for air cargo transport (i.e. FedEx, UPS, etc.).
More specifically, the overall project purpose of the proposed development of the
Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion is to develop air cargo facilities in a location
that facilitates use of existing infrastructure.

0 5.0 PROPOSED PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
The proposed project calls for the development of a taxiway, cargo apron, a
warehouse/cargo building, truck loading docks and associated infrastructure.
5.1 Cargo Facility Plans
The applicant proposes to permanently impact 1,260 linear feet of stream channel
to achieve the previously stated project purpose through the development of the
proposed facility and associated infrastructure. There are 2 permanent stream
impacts associated with development of the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold
Expansion. Impacts have been identified on the site plan, which is enclosed for
review (Figure 5). Fill for the project will include fly ash from the Progress
Energy power plant at Lake Julian. All fly ash fill material will be handled,
utilized, and placed in accordance with rules and regulations outlined in 15A
NCAC 13B administered by the State of North Carolina. Permanent fill impacts
associated with facility construction are listed in the table below.

0 6.0 DISCUSSION OF ALTERNATIVES
This discussion of alternatives is submitted by the applicant to assist the Wilmington
District, Corps in evaluating the application for authorization to discharge dredged or fill
material into waters of the United States, including wetlands, under Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1344 at the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion in
Buncombe County, North Carolina.
An analysis of the Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines (Guidelines) requirements for
consideration of alternatives as required by 40 C.F.R. 230.10(a) is set forth below.
The Guidelines' alternatives requirements provide that "no discharge of dredged or fill
material shall be permitted if there is a practicable alternative to the proposed discharge
which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic ecosystem, so long as the
alternative does not have other significant adverse environmental consequences." [See
40 C.F.R. 230.10(a) (emphasis added).] The record must contain "sufficient information
to demonstrate that the proposed discharge complies with the requirements of Section
230.10(a) of the Guidelines. The amount of information needed to make such a
determination and the level of scrutiny required by the Guidelines is commensurate with
the severity of the environmental impact (as determined by the functions of the aquatic
resource and the nature of the proposed activity) and the scope/cost of the project." [See
• Corps/EPA Memorandum to the Field "Appropriate Level of Analysis Required for
Evaluating Compliance with Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines Alternatives Requirements," p.
2, dated August 23, 1994, hereinafter the "Memorandum."] As noted in the
Memorandum on pages 3-4, the 404(b)(1) Guidelines "only prohibits discharges when a
practicable alternative exists which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic
ecosystem." [See Memorandum.] "If an alleged alternative is unreasonably expensive to
the applicant, the alternative is not practicable." [See Guidelines Preamble, "Economic
Factors," 45 Federal Register 85343 (December 24, 1980).]
Practicable alternatives for the project are those alternatives that are "available and capable
of being done after taking into consideration costs, existing technology, and logistics in
light of overall project purposes." [See 40 C.F.R. 230.10(a)(2).] Clarification is provided
in the Preamble to the Guidelines on how cost is to be considered in the determination of
practicability. An alternative site is considered "available" if it is presently owned by the
applicant or "could reasonably be obtained, utilized, expanded or managed in order to
fulfill the basic purpose of the proposed activity." 40 C.F.R. § 230.10(a)(2).
The intent is to consider those alternatives, which are reasonable in terms of the overall
scope and cost of the proposed project. The term economic [for which the term "costs"
was substituted in the final rule] might be construed to include consideration of the
applicant's financial standing, or investment, or market share, a cumbersome inquiry
which is not necessarily material to the objectives of the Guidelines.
n
U
7
. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 404(b)(1) Guidelines state that, "we have
chosen instead to impose an explicit, but rebuttable presumption that alternatives to
discharges in special aquatic sites are less damaging to the aquatic ecosystem, and are
environmentally preferable." Of course, the general requirements that impacts to the
aquatic system not be acceptable also applies. This presumption "...contains sufficient
flexibility to reflect circumstances of unusual cases" (249 Fed. Reg., 85339, December
24, 1980). It is clear from these stipulations that a preferable alternative may allow
filling in certain wetland areas and subsequent mitigation and/or management of other
areas.
6.1 Avoidance
The applicant was willing to considered sites other than the proposed project site
for development of the proposed facilities at the airport. A set of criteria was
developed to aid in the search for a site and ultimate selection of a site.
6.1.1 Site Criteria
A. Location
In order to meet the stated project purpose, it is imperative that the
project be located within the immediate vicinity of the existing
airport.
B. Site Availability
• The new cargo facility must be sited on existing airport property in
a location that does not hinder existing airport functions or future
expansion.
C. Site Accessibility
The new cargo facility needs to be easily accessible to cargo planes
as well as have road access for cargo trucks.
6.1.2 Project Alternatives
The project as proposed, along with eight alternatives, were considered
when determining the most practical alternative. A map which includes
alternative locations within existing airport property is included for review
(Figure 6).
A. Areas North of Existing Runway
Two areas identified as "A" on Figure 6 were evaluated for
consideration for this project. Road access for cargo trucks could
easily be provided from Pinner Road; however, cargo plane access
would present significant challenges. The area immediately north
of the existing runway (labeled as "C") is a runway safety area. A
runway safety area is designed to reduce the risk of damage or
injury if an airplane overshoots or undershoots a landing. For this
reason, airport infrastructure is not permitted in this area. Without
• the use of the runway safety area, Area A (to the east) becomes
8
isolated from the runway. Runway access is critical because cargo
planes must land and taxi to specific cargo hold areas which must
be separated from passengers and passenger cargo. Additionally,
the airport may construct a parallel runway in the future. This
future runway would be to the west of the existing runway. The
western area labeled as "A" would need to be reserved as a runway
safety area.
Because access to and from the runway is an absolute necessity for
this project (Criteria C), areas north of the existing runway labeled
as "A" were excluded as probable locations for this project.
B. Area East of Existing Runway
The area identified as "B" on Figure 6 was evaluated for
consideration for this project. Area "B" is the location of the
Asheville Regional Airport North General Expansion Project
which is currently under construction. Because of the regulations
regarding the separation of freight and passengers, the cargo
facility can not be placed in this location (Criteria B). Location
"B" was excluded as a probable location for this project.
C. Area Immediately North of Existing Runway
The area identified as "C" on Figure 6 was evaluated for
consideration for this project. Area "C" is a runway safety area
and an instrument landing system (ILS) critical area. A runway
safety area is designed to reduce the risk of damage or injury if an
airplane overshoots or undershoots a landing. The ILS critical area
must remain clear as planes approach the airport for landing.
Buildings, vehicles, or other planes in the ILS broadcast path could
cause incorrect information to be transmitted to pilots. For
obvious safety reasons, buildings and airport infrastructure can not
be located in runway safety areas or ILS critical areas (Criteria B).
Location "C" was excluded as a probable location for this project.
D. Area West of the Existing Runway
The area identified as "D" on Figure 6 was evaluated for
consideration for this project. Future expansion of the airport may
include a parallel runway. Because of the linear nature of the
airport property and location of existing infrastructure, Area "D"
must be reserved for possible runway expansion (Criteria B).
Because of the possible addition of a parallel runway in the future,
location "D" was excluded as a probable location for this project.

• E. Area South of the Existing Runway
The area identified as "E" on Figure 6 was evaluated for
consideration for this project. Area "C" is a runway safety area
and an ILS critical area. A runway safety area is designed to
reduce the risk of damage or injury if an airplane overshoots or
undershoots a landing. The ILS critical area must remain clear as
planes approach the airport for landing. Buildings, vehicles, or
other planes in the ILS broadcast path could cause incorrect
information to be transmitted to pilots. For obvious safety reasons,
buildings and airport infrastructure can not be located in runway
safety areas or ILS critical areas (Criteria B). Location "E" was
excluded as a probable location for this project.
F. Area West of the Existing Runway
The area identified as "F" on Figure 6 was evaluated for
consideration for this project. Runway access could be provided
for this area; however, road access for large cargo trucks would
present a challenge (Criteria Q. Construction of a new road would
have to occur or road access would have to be through a residential
subdivision. Road access is not practical for this location.
Additionally, there is a least one stream located in this-area and the
probability of wetlands is high because of the property's close
• proximity to the French Broad River. Because of road access and
the probability of similar stream and wetland impacts, location "F"
was excluded as a probable location for this project.
G. Area Southwest of Existing Runway
The area identified as "G" on Figure 6 was evaluated for
consideration for this project. A portion of Area "G" is west of
Old Fanning Bridge Road. This area was eliminated because of
the inability to transport planes across the road (Criteria Q. Area
"G" east of Old Fanning Bridge Road is isolated from the runway
because of the runway safety area (Criteria B). Although Area "G"
could be accessed through portions of Area "D", Area "D" is being
reserved for possible future runway expansion (Criteria B).
Additionally, this Area "G" is small and streams and wetlands
exist in this area. Due to the size of Area "G" east of the road,
stream and wetland impacts could not be avoided in this location.
Because of runway access, size, and stream and wetland impacts,
location "G" was excluded as a probable location for this project.
H. No-Build
The proposed Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion will
provide the necessary improvements to accommodate the growing
. air cargo demand for the Western North Carolina (WNC) region.
The project as proposed can not be completed without the stream
10
impacts applied for in this application. If the project is not
completed, the demands for air cargo in WNC will not be met.
1. Project As Proposed
The project as proposed meets the stated project purpose and is
within the project selection criteria listed above. The proposed
project site area has access to existing roads fit for large cargo
trucks and access to the existing runway and airport facilities.
Construction within the proposed project area will not hinder
existing airport activities and is not in a runway safety area or ILS
critical area. Wetlands at the site have been completely avoided
and stream impacts have been reduced to the minimum amount
necessary to complete the project. The project as proposed is the
most feasible and least damaging practical alternative.
6.2 Minimization and Justification of Impacts
The applicant has minimized impacts to streams and wetlands by pulling back fill
slopes. In doing so, 0.04 acres of linear wetland and 465 linear feet of stream was
further avoided at the site. Total avoidance at the site includes 1,185 linear feet of
stream and 2.74 acres of wetlands.
The proposed Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion will provide the necessary
improvements to accommodate the growing air cargo demand for the WNC
region. AVL is the only FAA air traffic control towered airport in WNC, as well
as, the only FAA part 139 certificated airport and the only airport equipped to
adequately serve this market. AVL is an essential part of the economic
development of the area and air cargo is a growing component for the airport and
region.
The air cargo facility must have direct access to the runway and taxiway system at
AVL as well as access to the surrounding public roadway infrastructure for the
safe and efficient movement of aircraft, trucks, and other ground vehicles. FAA
design criteria dictate the separation between airfield movement areas such as
runways and taxiways as well as the separation of the aircraft apron areas from
the connecting taxiway. Additionally, the cargo site should be segregated from
the general aviation area and commercial service areas of the airport for security
and operational reasons.
The Asheville Regional Airport has a need to expand in order to meet the needs of
the regional aviation industry. Airport property is linear in nature and limited by
the existing boundaries of the French Broad River, Interstate 26, and NC Highway
280. Due to the limited real estate available for aviation use with access to
taxiways, runway systems, and public roadways, the proposed development area
is the airport's best alternative and most feasible development parcel to
accommodate the proposed cargo area.
11
It is the purpose of this project to meet the economic development needs of the
Asheville, Buncombe County and Western North Carolina by providing airside
access to both the airfield and public roadway systems with an approximately 10-
acre site to accommodate an approximately 189,000-square foot aircraft apron,
approximately 50,000 square feet of building, and approximately 200,000 square
feet of roadway and parking. The proposed layout has been designed to meet FAA
design criteria.
6.3 Alternatives Conclusion
This discussion of alternatives, together with the documents submitted by the
applicant in support of the 404 Permit, shows that the project complies with the
Guidelines. As this analysis clearly demonstrates the project is designed to avoid
and minimize impacts to the site to the maximum extent practicable while
maintaining a rational project design.

0 8.0 US ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 404(b)(1) GUIDELINES
The EPA interim regulations providing guidance for specification of deposit on sites for
dredge and fill material were published on September 17, 1993, in 40 C.F.R. 230 per
Section 404(b)l. Sub-Parts A through I pertain to dredge and fill permits, and apply to
project sites similar to this project.
Sub-Part D presents a summary of compliance criteria for the 404(b)(1) guidelines. This
section references and defines practicable alternatives and indicates that a dredge and fill
permit shall not be issued if practicable alternatives exist. Alternatives reviewed, detailed
in Section 6.0, were assessed for compliance with 404(b)(1) guidelines.
Additional EPA guidance is presented related to general regulatory criteria, wildlife
value, and human health guidelines. The discharge of dredge and fill material is
considered permittable under these guidelines if the discharge activity: does not
contribute to violation of state water quality standards; does not violate toxic effluent
standards; does not jeopardize the continued existence of species listed as threatened and
endangered pursuant to the federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 and subsequent
amendments; does not cause degradation to any marine sanctuaries; does not contribute
to significant degradation of "waters of the United States;" does not adversely affect
human health as it pertains to water supply; does not adversely impact wildlife, the food
chain, and special aquatic sites; does not contribute to the discharge of pollutants that
may affect the food web; does not have negative effects on the productivity of the aquatic
ecosystem, or their physical values; and does not have adverse impacts on recreation,
aesthetic, or economic values. Additionally, the applicant is required to minimize
potential adverse impacts on the aquatic ecosystem.
8.1 Factual Determination
The Corps is required to determine both potential short-term and long-term effects
of a proposed discharge of dredge and fill material on the physical, chemical, and
biological components of an aquatic environment.
8.2 Potential Impacts on Physical and Chemical Characteristics of the Aquatic
Ecosystem
Sub-Part C of the 40 C.F.R. 230 guidelines lists six physical and chemical
characteristics that must be assessed during the permit review, and the effects of
which must be determined to be minimal on the aquatic ecosystem.
8.2.1 Substrate
Fill material will be placed in jurisdictional streams and wetlands. Any
discharge will consist of suitable fill material and will not include any
trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt, etc. The fill material will also be free of
toxic pollutants in toxic amounts. Proper sediment and erosion control
devices will be installed prior to and during construction to ensure that the
is bottom elevation of remaining streams and wetlands on the property will
not change. Fill for the project will include fly ash from the Progress
14
Energy power plant at Lake Julian. All fly ash fill material will be
handled, utilized, and placed in accordance with rules and regulations
outlined in 15A NCAC 13B administered by the State of North Carolina.
8.2.2 SuspendedParticulate/Turbidity (Sediment and Erosion Control)
i
During construction activities on the site, there may be a minimal increase
in suspended particulates that may lead to increased turbidity downstream.
However, the increase is anticipated to be minimal and temporary due to
the installation and maintenance of proper sediment and erosion control
measures during construction and shortly thereafter. A stormwater plan
will also be implemented on site; the plan is included for review
(Appendix B).
8.2.3 Water Quality
The proposed discharge of dredge and fill material should not cause
increased chemical contamination levels within the aquatic ecosystem.
Specifically, changes in clarity, color, odor, and taste of water in addition
to possible chemical contamination shall be minimized or reduced. All
discharges of dredge and fill material will be controlled with sediment and
erosion control measures. A stormwater plan will also be implemented on
site; the plan is, included for review (Appendix B). Fill for the project will
include fly ash from the Progress Energy power plant at Lake Julian. All
fly ash fill material will be handled, utilized, and placed in accordance
with rules and regulations outlined in 15A NCAC 13B administered by the
State of North Carolina.
The applicant will be concurrently applying for a DWQ Water Quality
Certification.
8.2.4 Current Patterns in Water Circulation
The discharged fill material will modify current water circulation patterns
by obstructing flow, changing direction or velocity.of water, and changing
velocity or flow of circulation in the channels proposed" for relocation;
however, water circulation and patterns will be re-established in the
stream channels provided by EEP as mitigation.
8.2.5 Normal Water Fluctuations
The discharge of fill material associated with this project is not anticipated
to have any significant effect on the downstream hydrologic regimes.
8.2.6 Salinity
Because this project is located inland and away from tidally influenced
waters and wetlands, no modification to the salinity of on-site or adjacent
waters is expected.
•
15
8.3 Potential Impacts to Biological Characteristics of the Ecosystem
Sub-Part D of the 40 C.F.R. 230 guidelines specifies three areas of concern in
which disposal of dredge and fill material can affect the biological components of
the ecosystem. These components are threaten and endangered species, fish,
crustaceans, mollugks, other aquatic organisms in the food web, and wildlife.
8.3.1 Threatened or Endangered Species
CEC has conducted a file review of records maintained by the FWS and
NHP. The desktop literature review involved a review of the FWS list of
protected species in Buncombe County and the Skyland USGS
Topographic Quad on which NHP identifies current and historic
occurrences of listed species for that locale. The NHP database identifies
0 EOs with a Federal status of threatened or endangered within a 2-mile
radius of the project site.
863.2 Fishes, Crustaceans, Mollusks, and other Aquatic Organisms in the
Food Web
Discharges of dredge and fill material can alter the food web by impacting
animals such as invertebrates that make up the basis of a food chain. The
release of contaminants or an increase in turbidity has the potential to
negatively affect certain aspects of the food web. Such releases may also
potentially increase the levels of exotic species.
• Impacts to primary food chain production within the waters of the US and
wetlands will occur on the project site; however, food chain production
will be re-establish over time in the streams provided by EEP as
mitigation. Net impacts to primary food chain production are expected to
be minimal.
8.3.3 Other Wildlife P
The discharge of dredge and fill material has the potential to negatively
effect breeding and nesting areas, escape cover, travel,, corridors, and
preferred food sources for resident and migrant wildlife species.
Although some evidence of wildlife usage was apparent on site, because
the project area is within close proximity to an existing airport facility,
which is surrounded by a wildlife fence and grassed safety area, wildlife
habitat is minimal and many wildlife species are restricted from the site.
Noise pollution, denuded vegetation, and anthropogenic activity make this
area less desirable for resident and migrant wildlife. While a loss of
wildlife habitat for stream-dependent species may result from construction
of the project, the proposed mitigation will compensate for any minor loss
of habitat.
16
• 8.4 Potential Impacts on Special Aquatic Sites
Sub-Part E of the 40 C.F.R. 230 guidelines addresses considerations for potential
impacts on special aquatic sites, which include: sanctuaries and refuges,
wetlands, mud flats? vegetated shallows, coral reefs, and riffle-pool complexes.
•
•
17
8.4.1 Sanctuaries and Refuges
The discharge of dredge and fill material has the potential to negatively
effect adjacent sanctuaries and wildlife refuges by impacting water
quality, decreasing wildlife habitat, increasing human access, and creating
the need fog frequent maintenance activity, resulting in the establishment
of undesirable plant and animal species, which can change the balance of
habitat type. There are no sanctuaries or refuges in the project vicinity;
therefore, impacts to sanctuaries or refuges will not occur as a result of
development of the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project.
8.4.2 Wetlands
The discharge of dredge and fill material has the potential to adversely
effect wetlands including wetland substrate, hydrology, and vegetation.
Discharges can lead to' a loss of wetland values, such as wildlife habitat,
flood storage, and groundwater recharge. The discharge of fill material
will not impact wetlands on site.
8.4.3 Mud Flats
Discharges of dredge and fill material has the potential to negatively effect
mud flats that exist along inland lakes, ponds, and riverine systems. There
are no mud flat communities within the project boundary; therefore, loss
of these ecosystems will not occur as a result of development of the
Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project.
8.4.4 Vegetated Shallows
Vegetated shallows are permanently inundated areas that contain rooted
aquatic vegetation. This type of habitat generally exists within estuarine
and marine environments; and some freshwater lakes and rivers. No
vegetated shallow habitats exist within the project boundary; therefore, no
impacts to this ecosystem will occur as a result of development of the
Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project.
8.4.5 Coral Reefs "`
Coral reefs typically exist within marine ecosystems. Coral reefs do not
exist within the project boundary; therefore, no impacts to this ecosystem
will occur as a result of development of the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold
Expansion project.
8.4.6 Riffle-Pool Complexes
Discharge of dredge and fill material into or upstream of riffle-pool
complexes has the potential to negatively affect water quality and wildlife
value. Fill in the form of culverts has the potential to be placed into riffle-
pool complexes. Any permanent impact to riffle-pool complexes will be
mitigated for through the proposed payment into the EEP.
1?
18
8.5 Potential Effects on Human Use Characteristics
Sub-Part F of the 40 C.F.R. 230 guidelines address potential effects on human use
of wetlands and waterways. Factors including water supply, recreational and
commercial fisheries, water-related recreation, aesthetics, and parks and similar
preserves are considered within this portion of the guidelines. No effects on
human use characteristics are anticipated as a result of the proposed development
of the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project.
8.5.1 Municipal and Private Water Supply
The public water supply will not increase or decrease as a result of
proposed activities within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion
project boundary.
8.5.2 Recreational and Commercial Fisheries
Discharges of dredge and fill material has the potential to negatively effect
recreational and commercial fisheries. Opportunity for recreational and
commercial fisheries is not present on site. The amount and quality of
recreational and commercial fisheries will not increase or decrease as a
result of proposed activities with the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold
Expansion project boundary.
8.5.3 Water-Related Recreation
Proposed activities within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion
project boundary will not increase or decrease waterborne recreation
within the project vicinity.
8.5.4 Aesthetics
Aesthetically, the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project will be
similar to other facilities currently present within the airport property
boundary. The facility will be designed in an aesthetically pleasing
manner that is consistent with the existing facilities at the site. The project
is not expected to diminish the aesthetic value of the area or cause
disharmony from an aerial or neighboring view.
8.5.5 Parks, National and Historical Monuments, National Beach Shores,
Wilderness Areas, Research Sites, and Similar Preserves
No areas as described above will be affected by the proposed development
within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project boundary.
8.6 Summary
Based on the EPA guidelines identified within 40 C.F.R. 230, and enumerated
herein, a number of potential environmental impacts have been presented and
subsequently addressed. The proposed permanent impact to 1,260 linear feet of
streams will not cause any off site adverse impacts. Mitigation offered through
payment in to the EEP will compensate for any on-site impacts.
19
0 9.0 PUBLIC INTEREST CONSIDERATIONS
When reviewing this application, the Corps is required to consider the project in terms of
the public interest. In considering the public interest, the Corps must evaluate the
probable impacts of the project and evaluate the "benefits which reasonably may be
expected to occur from the proposal against reasonably foreseeable detriments." In
balancing these interests, the Corps must consider the public and private need for the
proposed project, the practicability of using reasonable alternative locations, and the
extent and permanence of the beneficial and/or detrimental impacts of the project. The
Corps also considers the following public interest factors:
conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns,
wetlands, historic and cultural resources, fish and wildlife values, flood
hazards, floodplain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and
accretion, recreation, water supply and water quality, energy needs, safety,
food and fiber production, mineral needs, and considerations of the
property ownership.
Pursuant to 33 C.F.R. 323.6, a determination that the project is not contrary to the public
interest must be achieved before permit issuance. Public interest considerations are listed
in 33 C.F.R. 320.4 (a)(1) and are discussed below.
• Furthermore, the Corps regulations state that a permit will be granted unless the district
engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The applicant has extensively evaluated these factors through the planning process and
believes that the proposed project is clearly in the public interest.
9.1 Conservation
The applicant is not proposing preservation as a component of the
Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project; however, those projects
completed by the EEP in association with this project will be preserved in
perpetuity.
9.2 Economics
The project will provide an overall benefit to the local economy of
Buncombe County. During and upon completion of construction, the site
will provide job opportunities associated with the development,
maintenance, and operation of the proposed facilities. The appropriate
economic evaluations have been completed and the project as proposed is
economically viable.
9.3 Aesthetics
Aesthetically, the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project will be
similar to other facilities currently present within the airport property
• boundary. The facility will be designed in an aesthetically pleasing
manner that is consistent with the existing facilities at the site. The project
20
is not expected to diminish the aesthetic value of the area or cause
disharmony from an aerial or neighboring view.
9.4 General Environmental Concerns
Other than stream and wetland impacts, proposed development activities
within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project boundary will
have no significant identifiable impacts upon other environmental
components.
9.5 Wetlands
The discharge of dredge and fill material has the potential to adversely
effect wetlands including wetland substrate, hydrology, and vegetation.
Discharges can lead to a loss of wetland values, such as wildlife habitat,
flood storage, and groundwater recharge. The discharge of fill material at
the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project site will not impact
wetlands on site.
9.6 Historic Properties
A desk review of the National Register of Historic Places records
maintained by the SHPO indicates two historic properties within 5 miles of
the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project area: The Meadows
(NPS Reference # 80002847) located approximately 2.8 miles from the
project site and the Mills River Chapel (NPS Reference # 88002660)
located approximately 3.4 miles from the project site. It is the opinion of
CEC that activities taking place within the project boundary will not affect
the integrity of the historic sites. The SHPO will be notified via Public
Notice about the projects and will be given the opportunity to comment on
the project and its potential affects on archaeological and cultural resources.
9.7 Fish and Wildlife Values
Riparian and wetland areas provide habitat for many types of wildlife
because of their diverse and productive plant communities, complex
structure, and close proximity to surface water. Wildlife may be
permanent residents of riparian and wetland areas or occasional visitors
that use the areas for food, water, or temporary shelter.
Food availability varies with the type of vegetation in riparian and wetland
areas, but includes fruit, seed, foliage, twigs, buds, insects, and other
invertebrates. Trees and shrub produce a variety of foods that are eaten by
many animals and may be especially important sources of nutrition during
the winter months. Grasses and herbaceous vegetation provide seeds and
forage both within riparian and wetland areas and along the forest border.
The stream environment provides moving water for many animals to
drink, feed, swim, and reproduce. Water is also available on the moist
vegetation and in wetlands that are often associated with riparian areas.
21
• These areas, both permanent and temporary, are especially important for
amphibians and macro-invertebrates.
Riparian and wetland areas provide a sheltered environment for many
species of animals to feed, rest, and reproduce. Animals use these areas to
seek shelter from extreme weather and to escape predators and human
activity. Riparian and wetland areas may also provide important travel
corridors for some species, and are frequently used as stop-over points for
migratory birds.
Although some evidence of wildlife usage was apparent on site, because
the project area is within close proximity to an existing airport facility
wildlife habitat is minimal. Noise pollution, denuded vegetation, and
anthropogenic activity make this area less desirable for resident and
migrant wildlife. While a loss of wildlife habitat for stream-dependent
species may result from construction of the project, the proposed
mitigation should compensate for any lost functions and values.
9.8 Flood Hazards
It is likely that some tributaries on the property will flood occasionally due
to natural fluctuations in weather patterns that increase precipitation. The
activities taking place within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion
• project boundary are not expected to increase or decrease the natural rate
of flooding at the site or downstream.
9.9 Floodplain Values
Designated floodplains will be impacted by activities within the Asheville
Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project boundary. However, flood stages
and frequencies should not increase or decrease as a result of the activities.
Two areas designated as 100-year floodplain will be impacted by this
project. One area is approximately 0.46 acre and the other area is
approximately 0.34 acre. The Asheville Regional Airport will obtain
authorizations from the City of Asheville in the form of a no-rise
certificate or Letter of Map Revision, if necessary.
9.10 Land Use
The proposed project will be in compliance with local zoning regulations
and ordinances. The project is consistent with surrounding land use and
development.
9.11 Navigation
All tributaries within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project
boundary are tributaries to the French Broad River. The French Broad
River is a navigable-in-fact water at the Wilson Bridge east of Brevard.
0 The project will not have direct effects on the French Broad River;
22
therefore, activities proposed within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold
Expansion project boundary are not likely to effect navigation.
9.12 Shore Erosion and Accretion
The project should have minimal effects on erosion and runoff. An erosion
control plan will be implemented as part of the construction plan for the
project. During the construction process, BMPs will be followed. These
BMPs may include the construction of swales, erosion and sediment control
structures, turbidity barriers, and other measures that will prevent sediment
transport off the project site and into other waters. Use of devices such as
silt screens, staked hay bales, temporary grassing, wind rowing of
vegetation, and other mechanisms to prevent turbidity may be employed. A
post-construction stormwater plan will also be implemented as a part of this
project. The DWQ and the City of Asheville will be given the opportunity
to review and approve the post-construction stormwater plan (Appendix B).
9.13 Recreation
Proposed activities within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion
project boundary will not increase or decrease waterborne recreation on
site or in the project vicinity.
9.14 Water Supply and Conservation
The public water supply will not increase or decrease due to proposed
activities within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project
boundary.
9.15 Water Quality (Stormwater Management)
The stormwater management plan (Appendix B) for this site will be
reviewed and approved by the DWQ and the City of Asheville.
The applicant will be concurrently applying for a NC Division of Water
Quality Water Quality Certification.
9.16 Energy Needs
Activities taking place within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion
project boundary, during construction and at full operation, are not
expected to significantly increase energy demands beyond the capacity of
the local facility. Energy will not be produced as a result of the proposed
activities within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project
boundary.
9.17 Safety
The proposed project will be designed with the maximum possible
considerations for public safety. The proposed activities within the
• Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project boundary will not
increase or decrease public safety.
23
• 9.18 Food and Fiber Production
The proposed activities within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold
Expansion project boundary will not increase or decrease food and fiber
production.
9.19 Mineral Needs
The project fulfills no current mineral needs. No mining activities are
proposed as part of the development of the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold
Expansion.
9.20 Considerations of Property Ownership
The applicant owns the property proposed for development and has the
inherent right to develop the land in a reasonable and responsible manner,
which includes adhering to all Federal, State, and local regulations.
Property Owner of Record:
Asheville Regional Airport Authority
61 Terminal Dr, Ste 1
Fletcher, NC 28732
9.21 Needs and Welfare of the Public
• The project will positively address the needs and welfare of the public by
expanding and improving the existing airport facilities at the Asheville
Regional Airport in Buncombe County, North Carolina.

24
• 10.0 SECONDARY AND CUMULATIVE EFFECTS
The Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project site is located within the French
Broad River Subbasin 04-03-02. Approximately 75 percent of this subbasin is forested and
the total land mass includes approximately 806 square miles (516,000 acres). The project
area is comprised of approximately 113 acres (0.18 square miles). All of the land mass
included within the project site accounts for less than 0.02 percent of the land mass of the
basin. These percentages alone, limit significant cumulative effects on the watershed. Past
activities within the subbasin include logging; agricultural, commercial and residential
development; and road building. Agricultural and residential development, and road
building in the vicinity remains active; continued and future development of the watershed
is independent of activities proposed within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion
project boundary. Impacts within the project boundary include the construction of a large
building, a cargo apron, and a taxiway. Stream impacts are necessary for the construction
at the site. Activity within the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion project boundary
should not result in a significant impairment of the water resources on site or interfere with
the productivity and water quality of the existing aquatic ecosystem.
•
•
25
• 11.0 SUMMARY
The development of the Asheville Airport Cargo Hold Expansion involves the
construction of a large building, a cargo apron, and a taxiway. Alternatives have been
evaluated and the project "As Proposed" is the least damaging practical alternative.
Potential impacts to the physical and chemical characteristics of the ecosystem, biological
characteristic of the ecosystem, impacts on special aquatic sites, and potential effects on
human use characteristics will be minimal. The project is not contrary to the public
interest and will aid in the continued growth of the Asheville Regional Airport and
Buncombe County.

Kevin Howell
Asheville Airport
61 Terminal Drive, Suite 1
Fletcher, NC 28732 Expiration of Acceptance: December 24, 2010
Project: Asheville Airport Expansion (second request) County: Buncombe
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to accept
payment for impacts associated with the above referenced project. Please note that this decision does not assure that the payment will
be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact these
agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP will be approved. You must also comply with all other state federal or local
government permits, regulations or authorizations associated with the proposed activity including SL 2009-337: An Act to Promote
Compensatory Mitigation by Private Mitigation Banks
This acceptance is valid for nine months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a copy of the
issued 404 Permit/401 Certification/CAMA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's
responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based
on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the In
Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed at www.nceep.net.
Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the following
table.

Upon receipt of payment, EEP will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. If the regulatory agencies require
mitigation credits greater than indicated above, and the applicant wants NCEEP to be responsible for the additional mitigation, the
applicant will need to submit a mitigation request to NCEEP for approval prior to permit issuance. The mitigation will be performed
in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dated November 4, 1998.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Kelly Williams at (919) 716-1921.
Sincerely,
Willia . Gilmore, PE
