NCDOT construct a wildlife underpass between Maysville and the Community of Chadwick. NCDOT
has agreed to construct a wildlife underpass as part of the R-2514C highway improvements project.
CP4A Conditional Concurrence on Section B (Maysville Bypass): The Team reached concurrence on
the avoidance and minimization measures presented during the April 12, 201 I CP4A Meeting for
Section B (Maysville Bypass) subject to the following conditions. NCDOT will study realignment of the
southern terminus of the bypass to determine whether additional minimization can be achieved for
Wetlands 2, 27, 30, 31, and 32. NCDOT will study shifting the turnaround bulbs to further minimize
impacts to Wetlands 27 and 49. This work is still in progress under the direction of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, and will be presented after resolution of the updated wetland file and associated
update of the Jurisdictional Determination.
Uadatine the Wetland File: Environmental Services, Inc., NCDOT, and USACE have been updating the
Wetland File for the following reasons:
• Realignment of the southern tie-in of the Maysville Bypass to further minimize wetland impacts
as requested by USACE at the April 12, 201 1 CP4A Meeting for R-2514B.
• Improvements to the USFS access road north of Maysville;
• Realignment of the Pollocksville Bypass to minimize impacts to the Pelletier Farm; and
• Realignment of the service road near Ten Mile Fork Road.
• Reverification of the above-referenced areas will be performed so that the Jurisdictional
Determination can be updated.
Archaeological Resource MOA: One National-Register-Eligible Archaeological site that is located at
the match line between Section C and Section D will be impacted by this project. A Memorandum of
Agreement between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the State Historic Preservation Office has
been prepared and signed to describe and implement data recovery for the site. A copy of the MOA is
attached for reference.
Solidaeo verna (spring-flowering goldenrod): Spring-flowering goldenrod is a State Endangered
Species, a Federal Species of Concern, and is included by USFS in a listing of Proposed. Endangered,
Threatened, or Sensitive (PETS) Species. Habitat for this species (spring Flowering goldenrod) in the
Croatan National Forest will be impacted by this project. Seeds will be harvested, preserved, and
planted on designated locations in the Croatan National Forest. A project commitment will be included
in the State Record of Decision to provide coordination between NCDOT and USFS.
Comments & Questions Prior to this Meeting
Prior to this meeting, Mr. Gary ~ordan (USFWS) and Mr. Travis Filson (NCWRC) contacted Mr. Mark
Pierce (NCDOT) Co question tha geometry of the Wildlife Underpass as presented on the sketch in the

CP4A Meeting Packet and as described in the State Final Environmental Impact Statement (June 23,
201 I ). Mr. Jordan and Mr. Wilson asserted that the span length should have been shown as two, 60-toot
spans (I 20-foot total span length for the structure). Mr. Pierce discussed the structure geometry with
Mr. Omar Azizi (NCDOT Structure Design) and confirmed that Mr. Jordan and Mr. Wilson were
correct. The span length should have been shown as two, 60-foot spans (120-foot total span length) and
the bottom width will depend upon the pending geotechnical recommendations for the abutment slope,
but will be a minimum of 60 feet. NCDOT will revise the wording of the project commitment for the
Wildlife Underpass in the State Record of Decision.
Also prior to this meeting, Mr. Chris Militscher (USEPA) contacted Mr. Pierce to request that the
reference to a 46-foot median as an avoidance and minimization measure be removed from the
concurrence agreement. NCDO"f removed the reference from the concurrence agreement.
Additional Avoidance and Minimization Measures Requested during the Meeting
Mr. Tom Steffens (USAGE) requested that NCDOT shift the location of the turnaround in the vicinity of
Wetland 93 to minimize impacts to the wetland. NCDOT reviewed the design at this location after the
meeting, and made the decision to shift the turnaround to further minimize impacts to Wetland 93. The
original impact was 0.87 acre. The revised impact is now 0.79 acre, a decrease of an additional 0.08 acre
in this location. An excerpt from the revised design plan is attached for reference.
Avoidance & Minimization Measures
NCDOT has included various measures throughout the project development process to avoid or
minimize impacts to the human and natural environment.
Refinement of Vertical Ali ng_ment: The impacts presented during this meeting were based upon final
surveys, which generated a refinement in the vertical alignment and the construction footprint. The
impact footprint includes the slope stake lines plus 25 feet.
Community Impacts: Years ago, the Merger Process Team recommended widening on the east side of
US 17 in order to minimize impacts to the Community of Chadwick. Although widening on the east
side generated additional impacts to the Croatan National Forest and the J. Nathan Foscue Farm, it
generated approximately 80°/o fewer relocations than widening on the west side. A copy of the
'`Concurrence Form for Assessment of Effects" for the J. Nathan Foscue Farm is attached.
Wildlife Impacts: NCDOT will construct a Wildlife Underpass on US 17 between Maysville and
Chadwick, which will provide a physical connection and accommodate the natural movements of black
bear and other large and medium-sized mammals between the Hofmann Forest and the Croatan National
Forest. Biologists and wildlife experts believe that this location is critical to the long-term health of the
black bear population in the central Coastal Plain. The underpass should decrease vehicle-animal
collisions and improve traffic safety fa the public. NCftOT and the stakeholders met and determined
that dual bridges would be constructed with a total length of 120 feet (two, 60-foot spans), a minimum

bottom width of 60 feet, and a minimum vertical clearance of 10 feet. Copies of recent correspondence
and a revised section view of the Wildlife Underpass are attached.
Fire Suppression Road 204: USFS Fire Suppression Road 204 will be closed at US 17 to allow for
construction of the Wildlife Underpass and fencing in that location. The proposed grade of the fill
material and wildlife fencing for the structure will prevent vehicular access from FSR 204 to US 17.
Therefore, in order to provide alternate access for USFS, NCDOT will purchase and maintain the
graveled drive located just northeast of Maysville that extends from existing US 17 to the abandoned
railroad on USFS Property. USFS will make a recommendation on the extent of the closure of FSR 204.
Jurisdictional Impacts: Thejurisdictional impacts for Section C have been avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent practicable based upon the preliminary design plans dated July 6, 201 I presented
during this meeting, and as revised after this meeting based upon USACE's request to shift the
turnaround at Wetland 93. Measures to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional features include
vertical adjustments, 3-to-1 slopes in wetlands, and locating service roads and turnarounds in non-
jurisdictional areas. As presented on the following impact tables, wetland impacts have been avoided or
minimized from 23.34 to 18.69 acres (20% net decrease). Stream impacts have been minimized from
537 to 351 feet (35% net decrease).

Re: Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the proposed.improvements to US Highway 17
from Jacksonville to New Bern, Jones and`gnslow Courities,~Nor[h Carolina. The project will
have an adverse effect upon archaeological site 31JN128**.
Dear Mr. Eddins:
Enclosed please find a copy of the MOA between the:US Army Corps of Engineers,ahe
State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and 4he North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NC DOT), that was developed to address the adverse effeotofltlie,proposed improvements to
US Highway 17, (TIP. R-2514 B, C and D), in Jones and Onslow Counties, on an archaeological
resource in the project vicinity: Inasmuch as the Federal Highway Administration did noGfund
this project, but it was necessary to secure a Corps permit~under the authorify,of the.Clean Water
Act; the Wilmington District Corps ofEngineers served as fhedead Federal agency with respect
to ensuring compliance with Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act. A permit for the
referenced project, if issued, will contain a condition that obligates the NC DOT to comply with
the provisions contained therein.
The Corps of Engineers defined the undertaking, the boundaries of4he permit area; and
evaluated the effects of the undertaking on historicgroperties _for this project pursuant to 33
CFR, Part 325, Appendix C. The result of this analysis was the decision that the entire project
area should be federalized: As the scope ofthe permit area defined by this analysis i§ identical to
the scope that would be identified by the regulations at 36 CFR Part 800, we are willing to sign
the attached MOA, which defines the •project area with reference to the regulations at 36 CFR
Part 800.
In accordance with 36 CFR §800:6(b)(1)(iv), we are forwarding a copy of the executed
MOA for your records. JtRON

Dear Ms. Hilliard:
January 14, 201 1
EUGENE A. CONTI, JR.
SECRETARY
This is a follow-up to my previous letter of November 30, 2010 and the December 15, 2010
meeting at the Croatan Ranger District Office regarding the provision of a large animal
wildlife crossing on US 17 near Chadwick, project R-2514B. From my discussions with
staff, [have learned that last month's meeting was beneficial and certain structure dimensions
were tentatively agreed to by the meeting participants. I am providing further information
concerning the Department's recommendation regarding the wildlife crossing.
As mentioned in your previous letter, in order for the Department to secure the easement deed
from the US Forest Service needed to widen US 17, the Department must provide some type
of wildlife passage for bears and other wildlife. As you may know, in order to minimize
impacts to several homes along' US l7, the widening for the US 17 project is proposed to
extend onto US Forest Service property and requires an easement deed from your agency.
In accordance with your requirement regarding the easement and the subsequent discussion at
the December 15th meeting, the Department is agreeable to providing atwo-span bridge for
the wildlife crossing with one condition. The condition is that the Department reserves the
right to withdraw this commitment if prior to the start of bridge construction, there is a
change or planned change in use on the private property near the bridge that will serve as a
deterrent to wildlife movement in the area. The bridge that the Department will provide is [o
have a minimum 60 foot wide opening at the base of the bridge and provide for ] 0 feet of
vertical clearance.

We understand at the current time a conservation easement has not been obtained along the
private property located at the proposed wildlife crossing that separates Hofmann Forest from
US 17 and the Croatan Forest. The additional construction cost to add this bridge is currently
estitnated at $ 4.0 million; therefore, I hope you can understand our need to add this condition
to our commitment to help ensure the wisest use of our taxpayer dollars should changes be
planned or occur in this area.
I hope this commitment will be acceptable to your agency. We look forward to further
coordination with your agency and other enviromnental agency team members as we seek to
obtain concurrence on minimization of impacts along [his project segment and as we advance
the design developtnent along this corridor. Please let me know if you have any questions
regarding this response or if you would like to discuss further.

SECTION 404 / NEPA MERGER PROCESS CONCURRENCE AGREEMF,NT
CONCURRENCE POINT 4A : AVOIDANCE & MINIMIZATION
NORTII OF MAYSVILLE TO SOUTH OF POLLOCKSVILLE (SECTION C )
US 17, NCDOT Divisions 2 & 3, Onslow & Jones Counties
TIP Project No. R-2514BCD
TIP Description : The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes a combination of
widening, bypasses of Belgrade, Maysville, and Pollocksville on new location, and other improvements to
the existing US 17 roadway from mul[ilanes north of Jacksonville (R-2514A) [o mul[ilanes south of New
Bern (R-2401, the New Bem Bypass) to create afour-lane divided facility.
Avoidance & Minimization : Thejurisdictional impacts for Section C have been avoided and
minimized to the maximum extent practicable based on preliminary design plans dated July 6, 2011 that
were presented during the August 18, 201 I CP4A Concurrence Meeting by utilizing vertical adjustments,
3-to-I slopes in wetlands, and locating service roads and turnarounds in non jurisdictional areas. We will
review the location of the turnaround in the vicinity of Wetland 93 and will continue discussions at the
CP4B Hydraulic Design Review Meeting. The impacts presented during this meeting were based upon
final surveys, which generated a refinement in the vertical alignment and the construction footprint. The
impact footprint includes the slope stake lines plus 25 feet.
The relocations and impacts to the Community of Chadwick have been minimized by widening on the
east side of US 17. Although widening on the east side generated additional impacts to the Croatan
National Forest and the J. Nathan Foscue Farm, it generated approximately 80% fewer relocations than
widening on the west side.
NCDOT will construct a Wildlife Underpass on US 17 between Maysville and Chadwick, which will
provide a physical connection and accommodate [he natural movements of black bear and other large and
medium-sized mammals between the Hofmann Forest and [he Croatan National Forest. Biologists and
wildlife experts believe that this location is critical to the long-term health of the black bear population in
the central Coastal Plain. The underpass should decrease vehicle-animal collisions and improve traffic
safety for the public. NCDOT and the stakeholders met and determined that dual bridges with a span
length of l20 feet would be constructed with a 60-foot minimum bottom width and a minimum vertical
clearance of l0 feet.

The Merger Process Team met on August 18, 2011 anil concurs with the avoidance;aiid
minimization measures for the proposed improvements'to~Section'C~.of4liis project.
