3. Project Description
3a. Descri6e the existing conditions on the site and the generai land use in the vicinity pf the projeci at the time o# this
application:
Generaf land use on the refuge would be considered "conservation" as this is a national wildlife refuge. A brief summary
of the refuge mission and purpose is to protect, restore, and preserve it5 unique wetlarzd habitats and the wildlife species
which they support. �xisting conditions at the project site include a man-made dike and roadway, a dilapidaied pump
house, a concreke fue[ tank, 3 worn out diesel engines, and 3 �ery rusied and failing pump heads with 3 discharge pipes
underneath Lauref Bay Road and e�ptying into a man-made canal system. The dike is �egetated prirr�arily with a mixture
of shrubby vegetation typicai of pocosin habitat. Vegetation is maintained by mowing 1-2 times per year.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of a!I existing wetlands an the property:
14Q,OOQ
3c. List the total estimated �inear f�et of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
unknown
3d. Explain the purpose of the propased project�
Replace existing pump sta#ion for the Laurel Bay Farm Unit
3e. Describe the o�erall project +n detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
�he proj�ct invol�es remo�al af an existing pum� 5tation and replacing it entirely. The first acti�ity occurring at the project
site will be remo�al of t�e engines and tuel tanks. After tha#, #he pump house will be dEmolisF�ed and removed from the
refuge. The existing but �ery dilapfdated bulkhead, pump #�eads, and dfscharge pip�s will then be removed. Remova! of
the discharge pipes into the canal system will require exca�ating through Laurel Bay Raad. Once all of the oid material is
removed construction of the new pump station will begin. It is anticipated that all replacement construction will take place
within, and immeciiate�y adjacent to, the same footprint as #he old structure. 7he old bulkhead will be replaced with a new
vir�yl sheet piiing buEkhead. A wood-frame pump house wiff be constructed immediately adjacent io the footprint of the
old pump house. Three 48� vertical pumps, diesel power units, dri�e shafts, and right-angle gear drives will be fnstalled.
Three 48" diarneter steel discharge cross pipes (60 ft fong) with flap gates will be placed under Laurel Bay Road emptying
into the canal sysiem. The concrete fuel tank wil] be replaced with a 200a gaEion Con�ault (or approved equal) fuel tanEc
and assaciated hard fuel line plumbing. To camplete this project using appropriate safety measures, it wll be necessary
to canstruct a cofferdam in the canal system adjacent to Laure! Bay Road. Equipment to be used will inclucie an
excavator, bulldozer, dump trucks, farm tractors, generators, hand tools, and utility tru�cks.

Unit on Alligator River Naiiona! Wildlife Refug�. The existing Lauref Bay Pump Station was constructed
in the early 198Q's to dewater the land so that it could be cleared for farming. This single pump station
now dewaters the South Twiford, Nar#h `�wiford, anc� Laur�l Bay Far�m Units. Presently the pump
station dewaters approximately 800 acres of active farm land and about 270 acres of waterfowl
managernent u�iis. Production of waterfowl and other wildlife foods ancE farm crops (major wildlife food
source) are dependent on this pump s#ation. Natural deterioration of construction materials and
excessi�e �se resulting from pumping ac�eage above the original design have accelerated det�rioration
of pumplengine driveline components. The metal {grated) deck materials are deteriorated and unsafe
for employees ta walk on to maintain and operate the purrTps. The unit �as reached the point wherein it
is extremely inefficient, expensi�e, and unsafe to operate. The structurai position of the facility wi�l be
demolished and removed. The engines, driveshafts, 90 degree gear heads, pumps, and discharge
pipe (clriveline} are bad�y warn and da not move water efficientfy. A new buf�Chead (vinyl sheetpiling),
concrete floor, and metal building will need to be constructed and new driveEine cornponents installed.
Replacing this unit wilE result in more cost-effecti�e pumping and will increase the refuge ca�ability for
movi�g water to pro�ide better habitat for a variety of wildlife incfuding, but nat limited io, endangered
species such as the red walf, grassland t�irds, upland game birds, , waterfowl, shorebirds, raptors,
songbirds, deer, rabbits, small rodents, and the bEack bear. The project work site is accessible from
existing roads through the Laurel Bay Farm Unit. Roads, parking iots, and walkways subject ta
interferer�ce by the work shall be kept open in a manner that provides for safe public use. One road will
have to temporarily be closed when the old discharg� pipes ar� rEmaved from under the road.
Work at this site includes deconstruction af an existing 450 itz metal pump �ouse buildir�g, replacement
in an adjacent lacation in orcEer to replace discharge pipe beneath concrete floors, and to pro�ide more
horizontal clearance frorn Laurel Bay Road. This will require excavation of existing road bed far
discharge pipe removal. Upor� compEetian of new pipe replacerr�ent, the road wil� be reconstructed to
meet Federal Highway Adrninistration standards {6" compacted gravel — 20' wide) �or public use roads.
Other projec# components include:
1. Replacement of (3} 4S° verticaf pumps, diesel power units, cfri�e shafts, right-angle g�ar dri�es.
2. Replacement of (3) 48" diameter steel disc�arge cross pipes, 60 ft long and (3} flap gates.
3. Replacernent of existing 30 ft wide bar screen and catwalk, comprised of two steei I-Beams and
removable, vertical steel rods (112" dia.) 6° O.C.
4. Replacement of existing sheet piling and cap, approximately 2i0 feet in perimeter x 30 ft high.
5. Replacement of 2000 gallon Convault (or approved equal) fuel tank and associated hard fuel
IFne plumbing.
In arder to complete this work, cpfferdams wiil be required in canals ir�ter�al to the farm unit as wel! as
2 locations in one canal outside thE farm unit perimeter dike. Each cofferdam is approximatefy 40 feet
long by 15 feet wide by 8 feet tall encompassing a total of approximaiely D.O� acre. for a total of abaut
0.04 acre.

Creef Farm Unit Pump Station
The purpose of this project is ta replace a deteriorated and unsafe pump station in the Creef Farm Unit
ar� Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. The exasti�g Creef Pump Statian is the only remaining
s#atifln from several initially constructed in the late 1970's and early 1980's to dewater the la�d sa that it
could b� cleared for farming. Presently #he pump station dewaters approximately 1500 acres of active
farm land and about 450 acres of waterfowl management units. Production of waterfow! and other
wildlife foods and farrri craps {majar wildlife food source) are dependent on this pump station. Natu�al
deterioration of construction materials and excessive use resultEng from pumping acreage above the
ariginal design ir�creased deterioration of pum�lengine dri�eline components. Metal (grated} deck
materials are deteriorated and �nsafe for employees to walk on to maintain and operate the pumps.
The unit has reached the point wherein it is extremely inefficient, expensi�e, and unsafe to operate.
The structural position of the facility will be demolishet� and removed. The engines, dri�eshafts, 90
degre� gear heads, purrtps and discharge pipe (driveiine) are badly wom and do not mo�e water
efficiently. A new bulkhead (vinyl sheetpiling), concrete floor, and metal building will need to be
constructed and new driveline components installed. Replacing this unit will result in more cost-
effective pumping and will increase the refuge capability for moving water to provide better habitat for a
variety of wiidlif� including, but not limited to, grassland birds, Upfand game birds, endangered species,
waterfowl, shorebirds, raPtars, songbirds, deer, rabbits; smalf rodents, black bear, and the reci wolf
Project Work site is accessi�le fram existing roads throUgh the Creef Farm Unit. Roads, parking lots,
ar�d walkways subject to interference by the work shall be kept open in a manner that provides for safe
pub[ic use.
Work at this site includes deconstruction

IV, Description of Proposecl Action (attach ac3ditional �ages as neecied):
The exist�i�g purnp stat'ion Laurel Ba�y Farm Unit on Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge} is
scheduled for re�lacement as it has reacl�ed the end of its scrviceable life. 7 he project involves remova] af
an existinb pump station and replacing it entirely as close to the same fc�otprint as possiblc. T��e first
acti�ity occurring at the project sYte will he re�noval of the engii�e and fuel tanE�. Alter t11at the pump ho��se
will be demolished and ren�oved from the Ref��ge. 'The existi�3g b��t very dilapiated bulkl�ead, pue�lp iiead,
and discharge pipe will thc�� be re�nor�ed. Kemoval oftE�e discharge pipe into the impou�dment will
rec�uire excavating through thc existir�g dike dnd roadway_ Once all of the old material is removed
construclion of the new pump station will begin. It is anticipated that al{ replaceEr�en� construction wi{I
take place in the same footprint as the o[d strt�cture. I'he old bulkhead wil] be replaced witl� a��ew vinyl
slicct �iling bulkhead. A wood-frame pump house will be constructed withi�� the pre-existing footprint.
The new pump and discharge pi�e will bc installed from the canal system unc�erneath Lon� Curve Road
and into tl�e Laurel Bay f�arm Unit_ To complete tl�is project usi��g appropriate safety measures, it wll be
��ecessary �o construct a coff'erdan� in the cae�al system adjacent ta Laurel Bay Road. Ec�uipi��ent to be ��sed
will include an e�cavator, bulkdozer, duEnp trucks, far�n tractors, generators, hand tools, and utility tructis.
V_ Pertinent S�ecies and Habitat:
A. fnclude species/habitat occurrence map:
A!] species, e�cept for the red-cockaded woodpecker (EZCW) occur throughout the refug�. For reterence
purposes, a copy of`a refu�e map with road na�nes is enclosed. Kj3own RCW clusters occur o« t.he soutl�
end in the vicinit}� of Whipping Creek Road, nortli of U. S. Highway 264 just east of $tomper Road, aild

on the Dare CouE�t�- Bombing Kange. OEle inactive cluster with o�le kno��n cavi��� tree occurs in tl�e
vicin ity of tl�e east side af ICoehring Road _just north of the Pollock Road intersectio�3. The a.rea around
Stum�y Point was surveyed by heiicopter duri�lg 1999 and no evider�ce of the RC W was four�d in t�e areas
proposecf for pump replacement. The alligator is tiound in aquatic hahitat. Alligators havc heen known to
use canals in this area. Sightin�s will be reported to the Reli��e f3iologist. Tl�e pr�ject is w`ithin the range
of a red wolf pack a�d wolves could be fouaid in thc area at any give�� time. SigEitings within the 4�roject

Dear Mr. Rynas:
This Consistency Qetermination (CD) and supporti�tg documentation to replace two existing pump
stations for the Laurel Bay and Cree# Farm Units at Ailfgator Ri�er National Wildlife Refuge is submitted
for rE�iew and comment. We belie�e that this is a complete applicatian package. Howe�er, if required
information is absent or if site �fsits need to be schedui�d, p4ease notify �s as soon as possible. For
those who prefer conducting a review through the electranic medfum, all fi[es in this package can be
accessed through the internet. T�is site wfil be acti�e beginning on W�dnesday December 14, 2011 and
the address will be forwarded e�ectranically.
We belie�e the proposed pump statio� replacernent pro�ect is fu�iy consistent with the palicies and
guidefines of North Carolina's federally approved Coasial Management Program. By copy of this letter
and enclosures we are submitting thfs applicatian to the Corps of Engineers for processing as an
appfication far Nationwide Permits 3& 18; and to the N. C. Division of Water Quality fo� the Section 401
Water Qualiry Certification. We have enclosed a check #or $480.00 to the North Caralina Di�ision of
Water Quality to cover the application fiee for each project.
If at all possibl�, we request an expeditious review as some funding could be lost if not used relatively
soon. Loss of fundfng would result ir� the project not t�eing dane during 2011 with a subsequent loss of
jobs in the local econamy. The refuge staff is committed to workfng coo{�erati�ely with all State and
Federal agencies to ensure full corr�pliance with law, regulation, and policy at all times. If you ha�e
questions about the CD or the refuge, cantact Mr. pennis Stewart, Refuge Biologist at (252) 473-113� x

Pro'ect Descri tion
Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is located in Dare and Hyde Counties,
North Caralina and was establish�d in M rch, 1984. The Refuge consists of o�er
153,000 acres of riverine swamp, non-ri erine swamp, pocosin, pine and hardwood
forests, sal#, brac#cish, and freshwater ma sh, and agricultural land. The refuge provides
valuable habitat for a variety of wildlife, �n�ludir�g many neo-t�opical migrant bird
species, waterFawl, black bear, and several federally-listed endangered and threatened
species such as the red wolf and red-cockaded woodpecker.
The Alligator Ri�er complex is part of a larger refuge compfex called the North Carolina
Coastal Plain Refuges Compfex_ Refuges in the larger camplex include Alliga#or River,
Pea Island, Mackay Island, Currituck, Poc�osin Lakes, and Roanoke Ri�er National
Wildlife Refuges.
Alliqator River National Wildlife Refuge Pump Staiions
Laurel Bav Pump Sta#ion
The ability ta manage water efficiently is �ritical to our success in pro�iding quality
habitat for a wide range of migratory birds and other wildlife. The Laurel Bay Farm U�it
Pump Station (Figure 1} serves as one o� twa pumps that remo�e water from the central
and western refuge farm units. These areas are managed to provide food crops and
moist soil vegetatian for resident and mig;ratory wildfife populations. Maintaining
pumping capa�ilities is the most efficient method far achievi�ng refuge management
objectives. �

Work at this site includes deconstruction of an existing 450 ftz meta� pump house
building and replac�ment in an adjacent location in order to replace the discharge pipe
beneath the concrete �loors and to provide more horizontal cleara�ce from Laurel Bay
Road. This will require exca�ation of existing road bed #ar discharge p�pe rema�al.
Upon completion of new pipe replacement, the road will be recanstructed to meet
Federal Highway A�m�nistratEOn standards (6-inch compacted gravel — 20 feet wide) for
public use roads. In order to camplete ihis work, cofferdams will be required in internal
canals within the farm unit as well as 2 locatians in a discharge cana� outside t1�e farrn
unit perimeter dike.
Under Department of Interior policy this pro�ect is conside�ed to �e a Ca�egorical
Exclusion pursuant ta #he National En�iranmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 ei
seq.). The er�closed Environmer�tal Act�on Statement provides references to the
depa�tmenta! manual if fur�her dacumentation is needed.

Creef Farm Unit Pump Station
The Creef Farm Unit Pump Statian {Figure 1) serves to �emove water from the eastern
refuge farm units. These areas are managed to provide fioad craps and mois# soil
�egetation for resident ar�d migratary birds and other wildlifie. Maintair�ing pumping
capabilities is the most efficient method for achieving refuge management objecti�es.
The existing pump station at tt�e Creef Farm Unit on AEligator River NWR (Figure 3} is
sc�eduled far replacement as it has reached the end of its serviceable life. The project
involves removal of an existing pump station and replacing it �ntirely as close to the
same footprint as possible_

The first activity occurring at th� �project si#e wilk be remo�al of the engir�e and fuel tank.
After that the ap�roximate 450 ft pump house will be demolished and remov�d from the
refuge. The existing but �ery dilapidated b�l�Chead, pump head, and discharge pipe will
then be removed. Removal of the discharge pipe into the Creef Farm Unit wiEl require
exca�ating through the existing dike ar�d roadway. Once all of the old material is
removed construcfion of the r�ew pump station wifl begin. It is ar�ticipated that all
replacement construction will tafce place �n the same footprint as the old structure. The
old bulkhead will �e repfaced with a new viny! sheet-piling bulkhead. A woad-frame
pump house will be construc�ed in approximately the same footprint as the o!d pump

house. The new pump and d�scharge pipe will be installed from t�e canal system
underneath Long Curve Roa� and into the Creef Farm Unit.
To camplete this project using appropriat� safety measures, it wll be necessary to
construct 2 coiferdams in canals internai #o the farm unit and 2 cofferdams (1 upstream;
1 downs#ream) in the canal adjacent to Long Curve Road. Equiprr�ent to be used will
include an excavator, buildozer, dump trucks, farm tractors, generators, hand �ools, and
utility trucks.
Under Departrnent of Interior policy this project is considered to �e a Categorical
Exclusion pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et
s�q.). The enclosed Environmental Action Statement pro�ic�es references to the
departmenta! manual if further dacumentation is needed.
Dare County Land Use Plan
The existing iand use is classified as canser�ation in the Dare County Land Use Plan.
This ciassifcation would allow residential development but would discourage other
types of de�elopment not considered to be "traditional accessory uses". These
maintenance projects are designed to minimize the extent of disturbed areas by
replacing on essentially the same footprints as the old structures. There will be no
expansion of impact beyond the existing fiacilities_
There will be #ew, if any, long-term impacts from rep�acement af the purnp stations.
Most of the impacts that wifl occur wauld be cansidered short term and they have been
minimized ta the maximum extent possible. The quality of habitat pro�ided far migratary
birds and other wildlife over the project life offsets the short-term impacts. For these
reasons, #he U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser�ice believes tF�at the �ropased fac�laties are fully
cansistent with the spirit and �ntent of the conservation classification in the Dare County
Land Use Plan.
Caastal Manaqement Proqram Ob�ecti�es and Policies
Projects wffhin Areas of Environmen�a! Concern
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 07H .a205, management objectives have been establish�d for
conservation of coastai wetiands for the purpose of preserving and perpetuating their
biological, social, economic and aesthetic values. To fu�#ill these objectives, uses which
are not water-dependent are not allowed in coastal wetlands pursuant to 15A NCAC
07H .0208(a){�). Coastal wetlands are defined by administra#i�e cade as those salt
marshes or a#her marshes subject ta reguiar or occasianaf ffooding 6y tides, including
wind tides and includes some, if not all, of 10 species of plants. Tf�er� will be a very
small fringe, approximately � 56 ft2 at each pump station, of wetiands impacted by #hese
projects when the bulkheads are r�placed. Most of #his impac# wiEl occur through
disturbance as a result o� tearing out the old b�lkheads and installing the new ones, but
soils and elevatian will not be appreciably differer�t after the projects. Consequently, the
�

disturbed wetlands should recover within the first grawing season. Bare sail wifl he
stabilized by seeding and mulching with weed free praducts. Frorn this information we
ha�e concluded that the proposed replacement of the Laurel Bay Farm Unit Pump
Station and the Creef Pump Station are consistent with the management objecti�es of
15A NCAC 07H .0205.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 07H .a206, management o�jec�ives have been established for
conservation of estuarine waters far the purpose of preser�ing and perpefuating their
bialogical, soc�ak, economic and aesthetic values. To fulfill these abjecti�es, uses which
are not water-dependen# are not allowed in estuarine waters pursuant to 15A NCAC
07H _0208(a){1). Estuarine waters are defined to include all of the waters of the A#lantic
Ocean within tF�e boundary of North Carolina and a!I of fhe waters of the bays, saunds,
rivers, and tributaries thereto seaward of the dividing line between coas#al fishing waters
and inland fis�ing waters. Replacing the pump stations is a water dependent activity
howe�rer, it will have no impact on estuarine waters as defined by 15A NCAC 07H
.�208(a)(1). Bas�d upon the information pro�ided in the statutes and administrative
codes, there are no feat�res in the design of these projects that wauld be inconsistent
with the management objectives of 15A NCAC 07H .0206.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 07H .0207, ma�agement objectives �ave been established for
de�elopment ofi public trust areas for the purpose of protecting public rights for
na�igation, recreation, and management af public trt�st areas for the purpose of saving
and perpetuating #heir biological, economic ar�d aesthetic values. To fulfill t�ese
objectives, uses which are not wa#er-dependent are not allowed in public trust areas
pursuant ta 15A NCA C 07H .0208(a)( 1). Public trust areas are de�ined as waters of the
Atlantic Ocean and lands thereunder fram the mean high wa#er mark to the seaward
limit of the State jurisdiction, including all natural bodies of water subject to measurable
lunar tides and Eands thereunder ta the mean high water mark. These pubiic trust areas
include all naviga#�le water bodies and lands thereunder to the mean high water le�el ar
rrean wa#er level as the case may be. Th�re are no features in the design of these
projects that would affect public trust areas. The genEral public has and will continue to
have access to these waters. We have determined that the facilities will r�ot directfy
impact waters of the State of North Carolina and therefore will not impact publ�c trust
areas. Based on the a�ove information the proposed prajects are consiste�t with
management objecti�es of 15A NCAC 07H.0207.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 07H .0209, management abjectives have beer� established to
ensure that coastal shoreline development is compatible wfth the dynamic nature of
shorelines, and North Carolina's objectives for conser�ing and managing the important
naturaf feature's of the estuarine and ocean systems. Coastal shorelines are defined as
estuarine sharelines and �ublic trust sharelines. Estuarine shoreline areas of
en�ironmental concern are th�se non-ocean shorelines extendi�g from the normal high
water level or narmal water level along the estuarine waters, estuary sounds, bays,
fresh and brackish waters, and public trust areas for a distance 75 feet landward. Most
of the project features at both sites tall within the boundaries of a perimeter dike
separating the farm uni# from adjacent water bodies. These adjacent water bodies may
5

includ� the estuarine shoreline area of environmental concern. The only work occurring
outside of the perimeter dike will be to construct cofferdams. All cofferdam material will
be removed upon completion of tF�e project at each site. geca�se of the very small area
of coverage by impervia�s surface and the averall small footp�int of the projects, the
Se�ice belie�es that the proposed facilities wifl not have any long-term or significant
impact on either the public trust or the es#ua�ine shoreline areas of environmentaf
concern. We further believe the projects are fully consistent with the management
objectives of 15A NCAC �7H .0209.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 07H .0303, management objectives have been established to
ensure that development in ocean hazard areas is compatible with the goafs of
eliminating unreasonab�e danger to life while achie�ing a balance between the financial,
safety, and social factars invofved in development af these areas. Ocean hazard areas
include ocean erodible areas, where there exists a substantial possibility of excessive
erosion and significant shoreline ffuc#uatior�; high hazard flood areas; inlet hazard areas;
and un-vegetated beach areas. The proposed projects are not lacaied within ar in
reasonable proximity to any oc�an hazard areas as defir�ed at 15A NCAC 07H .034. No
further anafysis is required regarding either of fhe proposed project's consistency wit�
the objective of 15A NCAC 07H .0303.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 07H .Q505, management objecti�es have been established to
both protect habitats r�ecessary far sur�ival of threatened and endangered plants and
animals, and minimize land use impacts that might jeopardize these habitats. Si�ce the
refuge provides habitat �or t�e American alifgator, red wo�f, red-cockaded waodpecker,
and possibiy ser�siti�e joint �etch, Intra-5ervice 5ection 7 Biological Evaluations were
prepared by the r�fuge and re�iewed by the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Ser�ice, Da�ision of
Ecological Se�ices. The conclusion from #his e�aluatians was that the proposed
facilities are not likely to have an adverse effect on any listed species. Based on this
determination, the proposed projects are cansistent with the management o�jectives of
15A NCAC 07H .0505.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC D7H .0506, management objectives have been estab�ished to
pratect the features of designated coastal complex natural areas for the purpose of
safeguarding th�se areas' biological relat3anships, and educatianal, scientific and
aesthetic �alues. The facilities do not contain any design feature that would b�
inconsistent with the management objectives of 15A NCAC 07H .0506.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 07H .0507, management objectives have been established to
protect unique caastal geologic formations far the purpose of preserving the formation's
physicaE componen#s that ser�e as important scientific and educational sites, or as
valuable scenic resources. No unique coastal gealogic formations exist wi#hin either of
the sites. Construction of the faciiities is consistent wi#h the rna�agement objectives of
15A NCAC 07H .0507.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC OiH .0509, management objectives have been established to
conser�e significant coastal archeological resources for the purpose of preserving their
0

value as scientific, educational, and aesthetic resources. Based upon coordination with
Mr. Rick Kanaski, USFWS Region 4 Archaeologist who has caordinated ii�e project with
the State Histar�c Preservation Office (SHPO), there are no cuitural or archaeologica�
resources that would be affect�d by proposed facilities. Similarly, these mai�tenance
projects will not affect the historicai or cultura! la�dscape values af the refuge as defined
by Section 106 of the National Historic Preser�ation Act (16 U.S.C. 470fl. Therefore the
proposed facilities are consistent with the management objecti�es of 15A NCAC Q7H
.0509.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC Q7H .0510, management objecti�es have been �stablish�d to
conserve significant coastal historic architectural resources for the p�rpose of
preser�ing their value as scie�tific, educational, and aesth�tic resources. Based upon
coordination wit� Mr. Rick Kanaski, USFWS Region 4 Archaeologist who has
coordinated the proj�cts with the State Historic Preservation �ffice, there are no historic
architectural resQUrces that would be affected by proposed facilities. Therefore the
propose� facilities are consistent with the management objectives of 15A NCAC 07H
.0509.
Pursuant ta 15A NCAC 07H .0600, management objectives have been esta�lished for
all AECs for the purpose of preventing pollution of shelffish waters, maintaining aircraft
safety, and preventing naise poliutior� resuiting from airspace activity. The proposed
facilities at the preferred project sites will not affect any of these resources; therefore the
facilities are consistent with the managernent objecti�es of 15A NCAC 07H .0600.
Projects Oufside Areas af Environmenfal Concern
Pursuant to �5A NCAC 07M .03�1, it is the palicy of North Carolina to foster, improve,
enhance, a�d ensure optimum access to the public beaches and waters of the 20
coastal co�nties concurrent with needs of private property owners and protection of
important coastal natural resources on public beaches and water. Construcfian,
operation, and maintenance of the proposed facilities will have �o effect on publ�c
beaches of the area. Therefore, t}�e facilities are cansistent wi#h the pubic access policy
outlined in 15 NCAC 07M .0301.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 07M .0401, it is the policy of North Carolina #f�at d��elopment of
energy resources and facilities shall avoid significant adv�rse impacts upon viial coastal
resources or uses, and pubfic trust or access arEas. To foster compliar�ce with this
palicy, Impact Assessments are required for Majar Energy Facilities as defined at 15A
NCAC 07M .0402(b}. Neither the refuge nor the replacement pump statians meet the
definitian of a Major Energy Facility. Th�refore, no further action is required regarding
the consistency of these actions with the energy policy outiined at 15 NCAC 07M .Q401.
Pursuani to 15A NCAC 07M .Q501, it is the poiicy of North Caroifna that all state
agencies coordinate acti�ities in coastal areas fior the purpose of reducing the damage
from coastal disasters. Ir� accordance with this policy, local gavernments rr�ust incEude
disaster planning ac#i�ities ir� t#�eir [and use plans, temporary emergency housing r-nust
be lacated outside of hazardous arEas, and building repair and reconstruction activi#ies

must comply with the standards of the Guidefines for Areas of Environrrzenta! Concern,
North Carolina Building Code (including wind resistant standa�ds), the National Fiood
Insurance Pragram, and local reconstruction plans. The Service recognizes that the
site elevatians (6-S feet abo�e sea le�e!) will require sp�cial design considerations. The
faciiities and all associated structures will conform ta all federal, state, and local buElding
codes and flood insurance guic�elines. Based an the abo�e in�armation, t�e facilities are
consistent with the guidelines and policies of 15A NCAC 07M .0501.
Pursuant fo 15A NCAC 07M .0601, it is the policy of North Carolina that floating
structures used for residential or comrnercial purposes not infringe upon public trust
righ#s r�or discha�ge into public trust wate�s. The facilities do not involve canstruction or
use of a floating siructure; therefore, no further actinn is required regarding the
consistency of the proposeci projects with the floating str�cture policy outlined at 15A
NCAC 07M .06Q1
Pursuant to 15A NCAC a7M .0701, it is the policy of North Caroli�a that ad�erse
impacts to coastal lands and waters will be mitigated through proper p[anning, site
selectior�, compliar�ce with development standards, and creation or restoration af
coastal resources. Far a praject requiring mitigation ta be approved, pursuant to 15A
NCAC 07M .0703 thE following canditions must be met: there must b� no reasonable
and p�udent a�ternati�es to the project design or site; the entire project must be
dependent upon close praximity to public trust waters and coas#al wetlands; the public
benefits must clearly outweigh the long range adv�rse effec#s to the environmen#; and
all reasonable means anc� measures to I�ssen the impacts of �he �roject are
incorporated i�#o the project design. No permanent or long-term ad�erse impacts to
coastal lands or waters are an#ici�ated; therefore, no further action is requ�red regarding
the cansistency of the proposed facilities with mitiga#ion gt�idelines and policies o�tlined
at 15 NCAC 07M .0701.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC Q7M .0801, it is the palicy of North Carolina that no land or
water use shall cause the degradation o# water quality so as to impair traditional uses
of coastal water sucf� as fishing, swimmir�g, hunting, boating, and commerce.
Because al! waters of the State within the coastaf area ha�e pote�tial for uses
requiring optima! water quality pursuant 15A NCAC 07M .0802(c) methods must be
adopted to controf development so as to eliminate harmful runoff which may impact
the sounds and rivers of the coastal areas. No adverse impacts to water quality are
anticipated; therefore, no further action is required regarding the consistency of the
proposed facilities with mitigation guidelines and policies outlir�ed at 15 NCAC 07M
.D80�. Minimizing the footprint of the projects on each site and incarp�ration of
stringent sediment and erosion control tec�niques as defined in the Sediment and
Erosion Caniroa Management Plan w�il ensure compliance.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 07M .�901, it is the policy of Nor�h Carolina that use of aircraft
far the purpose of managing and protecting coastal resources, detecting �iolations of
environmen#ai rules and laws, and pertorming pubfic health, safety and welfar� sefvices
is of vi#al public interest. To insure access to airspace, pursuant to 15A NCAC 07M
.0901 access corridors free of special use airspace designations shall be pres�rved
S

along the length of the barrier island and laterafly at intervals �ot to exceed 25 rniles for
the purpose of providing ur�obs#ruc�ed access to the coastline, and development of
aviation re�ated pro�ects s�all, to the maximum e7c#ent practicable facilitate use af aircraft
by local, state, and federal go�ernm�nt agencies. The proposed facilities are not
a�iation reiated, nor are they proposing an aircraft access corridor; therefore, na further
action is req�uired regarding consis#ency with ti�e aircraft usage poficy outlined at 15
NCAC 07M .0901,

The proposed faciiity will result in temparary excavation andlor filling in waiers of
manmade canals for cafferdams. Beds and bottoms within this area are owned by the
U. S. Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. The refuge is in the process of
obtaining Nationwide Permi� 3 wh�ch authorizes construction af temporary cofferdams.
Therefore, no �urther action is required regarding compliance with NCGS 113.229
Required State and Local Permits
Storm water ancE Sedim�nt/Erosion cantrol perrr�its will be obtained as needed for these
projects and there wiEl be strict compfiance witf� all provisions of those permits/plans.
These projects do not requi�e a Starmwater Management Plan.
Conclusian
Although the praposed faciiities were discussed in the Alligato� River NWVR
Comprehensive Conservation Plan, it is a general planning document and does not
provide adequaie defail for ce�tain types of projects as defined by Sectian 113A�
103(5)(a) and Section 113A-103(5)(b) af the North Carolina General Staiutes.
Consequently, we are submitting this Consistency D�termination for your consideration.
The refuge staff is committed to working cooperatively with all State and Federal
agencies to ensure full compliance with law, regulation, and policy at all times.
Consequently, w� ha�e determined that the replacerr�ent of the Laurel Bay Farm Unit
Pump Statio� and the Creef Farm Unit Pump Statior� as pr�s�ntly designed are #ully
consistent with the enfarceable policies of North Carolina's federally approved Coastal
Management Program. If yo►� have questions please contact Dennis Stewart, Refc�ge
Biologist at [phone] ext. 231.
