3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The project study area consists of the maintained areas of the Airport within the perimeter fencing. This area consists of
maintained grasses and herbaceous species kept at a few inches in height. Wetland areas also exist within the project study
area and are maintained less frequently than the adjacent upland, leaving areas dominated by species typical of a freshwater
marsh. Adjacent land use consists of scattered rural residential development, undeveloped/forested areas, and active
agricultural areas located west of the Airport.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
8.0 acres
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
3,200 linear feet
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the proposed project is to improve the safety and function of the existing runway at the Oxford-Henderson Airport
to accommodate corporate turboprop and jet traffic. The improvement to the runway would provide economic benefit to the
surrounding area.
Safety and Function
Corporate turboprops and jets require an all-weather runway of sufficient length, strength, and navigational aids for safe
operation. Physical and logistical shortcomings related to the existing Airport would be alleviated by extending the
existing runway and safety areas. In addition, the extension would allow for all-weather use and reduced approach
visibility minimums. With rapidly increasing traffic at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport, additional emphasis on
corporate air traffic at the Oxford-Henderson Airport is expected to continue.
Economic Benefit
Many large companies utilize corporate aircraft in their day-to-day business. A community without adequate airport
facilities cannot compete in today's marketplace. Those communities offering well-designed and attractive airports can
better accommodate and meet the requirements of corporate users. The proposed improvements would allow for
additional growth of corporate aircraft utilizing the facility. In addition, a new industrial park is planned near the Airport
off of I-85. Increasing the functionality of the facilities at the Airport to meet today's corporate standards would help to
draw the desired commercial and industrial businesses the region is seeking.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The proposed project would consist of extending the existing runway, taxiway, and runway safety area to the west of the existing
runway. Runway 6 would be extended approximately 500 feet west and would be approximately 100 to 120 feet wide, which
would include a 35-foot wide parallel taxiway. The runway safety area would extend approximately 300 feet from the end of the
extended runway and would be approximately 150 feet wide. The improvements are detailed on the attached permit drawings.
Equipment would be typical of excavation, paving, and earth moving activities.
4. Jurisdictional Determinations
4a. Have jurisdictional wetland or stream determinations by the
Corps or State been requested or obtained for this property /

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Selecting the extension of the runway to the west avoided potential stream impacts associated with extending the runway to
the east. Based on aerial photography and the USGS Topographic Map extending the runway and associated safety
area/taxiway would have impacted approximately 380 linear feet of a blue line stream.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Impacts to wetlands in close proximity to the construction site will be minimized through the implementation of standard
erosion control and siltation control measures as specified in FAA AC 150/5370-10, entitled Standards for Specifying
Construction of Airports, and specifically Item P-156, Temporary Air and Water Pollution, Soil Erosion, and Siltation Control,
as well as compliance with state and local erosion control requirements. Temporary erosion control measures shall include,
but not be limited to the use of temporary berms, dikes, dams, silt fences, drainage ditches, silt basins, diversion ditches,
slope drains, structures, vegetation, mulches, mats, netting, gravel, rip rap, or any other methods that are necessary.

also benefit the region economically, future economic development is not directly dependent on the completion of the
proposed project.
Future development planned at the Airport is shown in the attached Airport Layout Plan (ALP) (refer to Appendix E). The
ALP represents potential future development for planning purposes and does not necessarily represent exactly what
development will occur. Only the current proposed improvements are funded, and the timeframe for future development
is largely unknown due to the nature of securing state and/or federal funds for construction. In addition, since these
conceptual projects would occur in areas currently maintained by the Airport, minimal impacts to the natural environment
are anticipated.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Requirement)

BIOTIC COMMUNITIES AND WETLANDS
Below is a description of the biotic communities and wetlands that will be impacted by the
proposed 500-foot extension of Runway 6 and its associated taxiway at the Oxford-Henderson
Airport.
Biotic Communities
Natural areas observed within the project study area can be classified based on their vegetative
composition, landscape position, soil type, and hydrologic regime into various upland and
wetland biotic communities.
Upland communities identified within the project study area consisted largely of
disturbed/maintained areas. This includes the upland area within the airport fence line, which is
mowed/maintained on a frequent basis, thereby keeping the vegetation only a few inches tall.
This area was dominated by various types of planted grasses and early-successional weedy
herbaceous species. Disturbed/maintained areas observed also included areas that had been
recently clear cut and managed planted pines. The clear cut areas likely consisted of mesic
mixed hardwood forest and oak-hickory forest prior to disturbance, but at the time of
investigation little vegetation remained in these areas. The area of managed planted pine
consisted of four to five year old loblolly pine (Pinar taeda)
Wetland communities identified consisted of freshwater marsh in areas that have been disturbed.
Wetlands identified within the airport fence consisted of areas that are maintained by the airport,
although not as frequently as the upland grassed areas, resulting in vegetation that was
approximately three feet high at the time of investigation. Due to the maintenance of these areas,
they are kept in a marsh like state. Without maintenance they would likely grade into forested
wetlands over time. Vegetation observed was typical of fresh water marsh wetlands and
consisted of soft rush (Juncus eff rsus), sedges (Caren spp.) tear thumb (Polygonum sagittatum)
and false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica). Wetland areas outside of the airport fence has been
recently clear-cut at the time of investigation, and due to the removal of woody vegetation, also
exhibited characteristics of a freshwater marsh, dominated by vegetation similar to areas within
the airport fence line. These areas likely consisted of bottomland hardwood type wetlands prior
the clearing activities.
Impacts to Biotic Communities
Impacts to approximately 10 acres of biotic communities would result from the runway
extension and clearing/grubbing activities (See Figure2). A large majority of the biotic
community impacts caused by the runway extension would be to upland disturbed/maintained
communities. These areas would likely remain in their existing condition, expect for areas that
would consist of the new impervious surface for the runway and taxiway. The runway extension
would also result in 0.35 acres of impacts to wetland communities. These impacts are based on a
GPS survey of the wetland limits in the approved Jurisdictional Determination (attached) and the
design shown on Figure 2. These impacts would occur from fill required to extend the runway
safety area. Impacts resulting from the grubbing of the previously cleared areas would impact
uplands consisting of disturbed areas. The area of managed pine would also be cleared and
grubbed. Grubbing would not occur in wetland areas, so wetlands within the clearing/grubbing
limits would not be impacted.
0 0
Permitting and Mitigation
The proposed runway extension would likely be permitted under a Section 404 Nationwide 14
Permit (for linear transportation projects). A Nationwide 14 includes activities required for the
construction, expansion, modification, or improvement of linear transportation projects (e.g.,
roads, highways, railways, trails, airport runways, and taxiways) in waters of the United States,
which does not cause the loss of greater than 0.5-acre of waters of the United States! Since the
wetland impacts associated with the proposed project are due to the extension of the existing
runway and taxiway, and are under the 0.5-acre threshold at 0.35 acres, it is anticipated that a
Nationwide 14 could be used to permit the project under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
The final determination of the pen-nit type would be determined by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) with the submittal of a Pre-Construction Notification Form.
Applicants for state and federal permits for projects that would result in a discharge to wetlands
and waters of the United States must obtain a Section 401 Water Quality Certification from N.C.
Division of Water Quality. This certification involves a review of the proposed project and
analyzes its potential impact to water quality. This review is performed to ensure that any
discharge into jurisdictional areas is in accordance with State water quality standards. The
Section 401 Water Quality Certification would also ensure compliance with the Tar-Pamlico
Buffer Rules.
Per the recent requirements issued jointly by the USACE and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) in the Department of Defense, Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers 33
CFR Parts 325 and 332/Environmental Protection Agency 40 CFR Part 230 Compensatory
Mitigation for Losses of Aquatic Resources; Final Rude, dated April 10, 2008, mitigation banks
are the preferred method of mitigation. Therefore, existing mitigation banks in the Tar-Pamlico
River Basin were investigated for the potential future purchase of mitigation credits.
Four commercial mitigation banks are located in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin and none of the
banks are located within a service area (HUC 03020101) that includes the project study area.z
Therefore, it is likely that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) In-lieu
Fee Program would be used to compensate for unavoidable impacts to waters of the U.S. The
NCEEP is a state run statewide in-lieu fee program administered by the NCDENR and is similar
in function to a mitigation bank. The NCEEP provides a mitigation option for permit applicants
when commercial mitigation bank credits are not available.
Additionally, in order to comply with NC Session Law 2008-152, mitigation banks serving HUC
03020101 would need to be contacted to determine if credits are available before the use the
NCEEP In-lieu Fee Program. This would ensure that any new banks that would come on-line
prior to permit application are investigated.

The final amount and type of mitigation required would be determined by the USACE with the
approval of the Final Mitigation Plan, which would include the final mitigation ratio. This
approval would occur after the submittal of the Section 404 permit application.

Dear Mr. Davis:
Thank you for your email message of July 1, 2010, submitting the revised noise contours map for the above
referenced undertaking. Having reviewed the information provided, we believe the airport improvements will
not adversely affect either the Salem Methodist Church (GV0370/NR) or Nora Hester Aiken House
(GV0371 /SL).
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-807-6579. In all future

RE: Proposed improvements to Oxford-Henderson Airport, Granville County, ER10-0988
Dear Mr. Davis:
Thank you for your letter of May 27, 2010, concerning the above referenced undertaking. We have checked our
maps and files and determined that there are two historic properties in close proximity to the proposed
improvements. They are the National Register-listed Salem Methodist Church (GV0370) and the State Study-
listed Nora Hester Aiken House (GV0371). We have marked them on the enclosed map.
Given their nearness to the runway extension, we would like to review the revised noise contours for the
airport on a map that shows a larger area surrounding the airport. This will help us determine if there are other
historic properties in the area as well as the effect of the proposed extension and improvements.
There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area. Based on our knowledge of the area,
it is unlikely that any archaeological resources that may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of
Historic Places will be affected by the project. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation
be conducted in connection with this project.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-807-6579. In all future
communication concerning this project, please cite the above referenced tracking number.

Peter Sandbeck
