Dear Sir:
Subject: Notification for Nationwide Permit 14 (Minor Road Crossing)
Minor Road Crossing- SR 2260-Harnett County
Division 6 Division Design Project
TIP No. R-4736
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to improve the southeast
exit ramp along I-95 at Exit 73 (Dunn) to conform with current safety standards. The present exit
ramp along I-95 requires the reduction of speed down to 35 MPH from 65 MPH immediately
upon entering the ramp. The reduction of speed is not conducive to efficient departure from the
highway. The ramp is also a two-way road at its intersection with US 421. SR 1833 shares the
intersection, thus creating the hazard of a vehicle entering I-95 in the wrong direction.
In addition to smoothing out the exit ramps curve to provide a safer exit, SR 1833 will be cul-de-
sac'd to eliminate the two-way intersection. A new intersection will be created between SR 1814
and US 421. The new proposed roadway, SR 2260 will provide ingress/egress for residential and
commercial traffic to US 421. Currently, NCDOT does not possess sufficient right-of-way in the
location of the intersection of SR 1814 and US 421. A car dealership is situated along both sides
of SR 1814. With the presence of the car dealership at the intersection, there is no possibility to
improve the intersection to current safety standards.
Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Cape Fear
River Basin. Crossing #1 conveys hydrology to an Unnamed tributary to Mingo Swamp (Class
SwQ. The UT is within the 0303006 Hydrologic Unit.
RESOURCE STATUS
In general, there will be a minor impact as the result of the new location 3-lane roadway (includes
left and right turn lanes) with an 80-foot Right-of-Way. A Nationwide Permit #14 / NCDENR

401 WQC 3404 is required for the project. The general area within the roadway corridor consists
of a depressional wetland that is surrounded by roadway along two sides (US 421 and SR 1833)
and an Automobile Dealership downstream of the proposed roadway. Extensive grading has
occurred at the Automobile Dealership, and, it is suspected that the proper drainage design was
not incorporated into the development. Hydrology was viewed to pond throughout the
depressional wetland to a depth of 4"-6" until such time that it gets deep enough to flow into a
drop inlet and is conveyed to an UT to Mingo Swamp which runs under US 421.
Prior to conducting a field delineation of the site, a review of the Harnett County Soil Survey, and
the National Wetland Inventory Map (Dunn, NC Quad) was completed. No jurisdictional areas
were identified from the mapping. Lynchburg soils were mapped within the entire area.
Lynchburg series consist of somewhat poorly drained, moderately permeable soils formed in
loamy marine sediments. These soils are in shallow depressions, at the head of drainageways, and
on broad divides. Due to the prolonged inundation, the soils lacked the typical Lynchburg
characteristics. Several soil-sampling pits were excavated and the soil reviewed. A hue, value
and chroma of l0YR 6/1 was observed with mottles. The soils were reduced with oxidation,
thus hydric.
Panicgrass, sedge, rush and smartweed dominated the vegetation with scattered cattails within the
deeper water areas (+/- 8"). Black willow was dominant at the edge. With the vegetation being
dominated by hydrophytes, hydric soils identified, and, wetland hydrology observed, the area was
identified as a wetland (PEMIE). The Corps of Engineers (Richard Spencer) confirmed the
wetland / upland boundaries in the field October 6, 2004.
Endangered Species: Plants and animals with Federal classification of Endangered (E) or
Threatened (T) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of January 29, 2004, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lists
four federally protected species for Harnett County.
Federally Protected Species for Harnett County
SCIENTIFIC NAME COMMON NAME STATUS
Notropis mekistocholas Cape Fear shiner E
Picoides borealis Red-cockaded woodpecker E
Isotria medeoloides Small-whorled pogonia T
Lysimachia asperulaefolia Rough-leaved

"E" denotes Endangered (a species that is in danger of extinction throughout
all or a significant portion of its range).
T(S/A)- Threatened due to similarity of appearance, a species that is threatened
Due to similarity of appearance with other rare species and is listed for its
Protection. These species are not biologically endangered or threatened and
Are not subject to Section 7 consultation.
A biological conclusion of "No Effect" was reached for all species during the July 9, 2004 survey
for protected species. Protected species were not identified, nor, was the general habitat for each
species identified.
REGULATORY APPROVALS
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Nationwide Permit 14 / NCDENR 401
WQC 3404 as required by the above-described activities. 0.10 acres of Non-Riverine Wetlands
will be impacted as the result of the project.
The project impacts are minor in nature and should not remove or degrade existing water quality
uses. Pipe sizes proposed are the minimum necessary to create a safe highway while
accommodating the 25-year design storm. By utilizing the erosion control measures, downstream
water quality standards will be protected. All appropriate BMP's will be utilized during
construction.
Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, marked county road map, quad location map
and photographs.

personnel of NCDOT The potential exist for a motorist to travel into oncoming I-95
traffic, a very unsafe condition This proieet wiU eliminate the potential safety hazard
while providing ingress / egress for property owners in the area
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
Page 5 of 8
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http:%11'u.c 1i stag,nc,us/t1c??ct.lan(lslst_nvgg1dc. fit III].
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreagellinear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Wetland mitigation will be obtained via the EEP. This nroiect will be included
within the Division 6 request for mitigation spreadsheet sent to EEP quarterly.
