Authority
The Corps will evaluate this application and decide whether to issue conditionally issue or
deny the proposed work pursuant to applicable procedures under Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (33 U S C 1344)
Location
The proposed project is located along US 15 /501 from the US 1 intersection to north of the
intersection of NC 211 (Raeford Road) in Aberdeen Moore County North Carolina The
proposed project is located in tributaries and adjacent wetlands that are hydrologically
connected to the Pee Dee River The project is more specifically located starting near
Latitude 35 13 N Longitude 79 4306 W and ending near Latitude 35 1243 Longitude
794293

known as Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) within the project limits The applicant will
attempt to suppress the privet within their right of way to minimize the potential spread of
the invasive species
Summary of Impacts, Avoidance and Minimization and Compensatory Mitigation
Wetland Impacts The proposed roadway project would involve 1 99 acres of permanent
riparian wetland impacts and 0 023 acres of temporary riparian wetland impacts The
permanent impacts would result from 1 65 acres of permanent fill 0 09 acres of
excavation and 0 25 acres of mechanized clearing The temporary impacts would result
from relocating /installing utility lines Temporary wetland impacts totaling 0 005 acres
would result from the cutting of a trench to install a 10 inch water line Additional
trenching outside of this area of temporary impact will occur due to the water line
relocation However these impacts will occur in areas already designated for either
permanent riparian wetland fill or mechanized clearing and were not included in this total
The remaining 0 018 acres of temporary impacts will result from trenching associated with
the installation of a 16 inch gravity sewer line The construction of the bridge over the
CSX Railroad would involve hand clearing 0 07 acres of wetlands The proposed
permanent wetland impacts are summarized below in Table 1 The proposed utility line
impacts are summarized below in Table 2

Avoidance and Minimization Based on information provided by the applicant impacts
to waters of the U S cannot be fully avoided due to cost and logistical constraints of
bridging all of the wetlands areas The applicant proposes the following measures to avoid
and minimize impacts to jurisdictional resources
• The applicant proposes to adhere to the Best Management Practices for Protection of
Surface Waters
• The use of 2 1 and 3 1 fill slopes in wetland areas
• The applicant proposes to install rip rap energy dissipaters at the storm water pipe
outlets to reduce flow velocity and prevent erosive velocities and sedimentation
• The use of hand clearing rather than mechanical clearing
Compensatory Mitigation The applicant proposes on site and off site compensatory
mitigation to offset the 235 linear feet of permanent stream impacts and 1 99 acres of
permanent riparian wetland impacts The applicant is proposing to remove the existing
roadway from the US 1 intersection to the bridge over the CSX Railroad to restore 118

Policy Act (NEPA) Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and
to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity
Any person may request in writing within the comment period specified in this notice
that a public hearing be held to consider the application Requests for public hearings shall
state with particularity the reasons for holding a public hearing Requests for a public
hearing shall be granted unless the District Engineer determines that the issues raised are

Wetland and Stream Restoration Plan
Bridge No 2 over the Aberdeen Creek and CSX Railroad on US 15 /501
Moore County, North Carolina
TIP B- 3680
Federal Aid Protect No BRSTP -15 (11)
WBS No 33813 11
July 28, 2011
10 BASELINE INFORMATION
The protect is located within sub basin 03 07 -50 of the Lumber River Basin (DWQ 2001) and is
part of the USGS Hydrologic Unit 03040203 of the South Atlantic Gulf region The project is
located on US 15 1501 in southern Moore County just west of Aberdeen It is within the Sandhills
Region of the Coastal Plain physiographic province The majority of the land use in the vicinity
of the project is urban in nature and the surrounding landscape is dominated by a mixture of
forested communities and maintained/ disturbed land
Two jurisdictional streams are located within the project area Aberdeen Creek and an unnamed
tributary (UT) to Aberdeen Creek This portion of the stream has been assigned Stream Index
Number (SIN) 14 02 -11 (6) by the NCDWQ (DENR2005a) and is designated a warm water
stream (USACE et al 2003) with a best classification of C
The two natural plant communities found within the project area are Alluvial Forest and Mesic
Mixed Hardwood Forest There is also a component of disturbed/maintained land
Approximately 29 2 % of the project study area (5 21 acres) is made up of the Alluvial Forest
37 2 % (6 65 acres) is made up of Mesnc Mixed Hardwood Forest and 33 6 % (6 00 acres) is
composed of disturbed /maintained land containing roadsides, industrial areas, dirt roads/
driveways a railroad bed and other maintained lands
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) will perform on site mitigation for
stream and wetland impacts associated with Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) B 3680
through the restoration of 118 linear feet of stream and 1 67 acres of rivenne wetland via the
removal of existing pavement causeway and box culvert associated with the current bridge and
US 15 1501 alignment
2 0 SITE SELECTION
TIP B 3680 will involve replacing bridge No 2 over the CSX Railroad as well as performing
improvements to the approach roadway of the replacement structure These improvements will
extend approximately 370 feet south from the southwest end of the new structure and
approximately 133 feet from the western end of the new structure Permanent wetland impacts
associated with the project are 165 acres of rnvenne wetlands Permanent stream impacts
associated with the project are 235 feet of stream

The project is located in the Town of Aberdeen on US 151501 north of the intersection of NC
211 in Moore County The proposed mitigation site occurs within the existing Right of Way of
US 15/501
The Categorical Exclusion (CE) for TIP B 3680, dated September 2006, provides further details
concerning existing natural resources and roadway conditions
Bridge No 2 is located approximately 1000 ft south of the intersection of US 15/501 and US 1
The roadway of US 15 /501 north of the bridge is on a high causeway fill section within the
floodplam of Aberdeen Creek Jurisdictional wetlands occur on both the east and west sides
through this section of roadway A 118 ft long 5 x5 box culvert is located approximately 300 ft
north of the bridge The culvert carries an unnamed tributary (UT) to Aberdeen Creek under the
roadway from east to west where it comes to a confluence with Aberdeen Creek
3 0 SITE PROTECTION INSTRUMENT
The mitigation area is located with the NCDOT Right of -Way The area is outside of bridge
maintenance area and free of utilities It will be managed to prohibit all use inconsistent with its
use as mitigation property, including any activity that would materially alter the biological
integrity or functional and educational value of the site consistent with the mitigation plan
The site will be placed on the NEU mitigation geo database After closeout the site will be
placed in the NCDOT Stewardship Program for long term management and protection
4 0 OBJECTIVES
The goal of the project is to restore 167 acres of riverme forest and 118 feet of an unnamed
tributary associated with Aberdeen Creek The functional restoration of the site will be
accomplished through existing pavement, causeway and box culvert removal and site grading to
match the target elevation of the existing adjacent reference wetland system
5 0 MITIGATION WORK PLAN
The mitigation area will be constructed in conjunction with TIP B 3680 Construction activities
involve pavement and causeway removal and the 5 x 5 box culvert removal utilizing natural
stream design on the 118 feet of stream site grading and site planting Once the pavement and
causeway have been excavated, the areas will be graded to match existing adjacent reference
wetland elevation as well as being ripped, disked and soil amendments added if necessary
NCDOT has identified Japanese privet (Lcgustrum japonicum) within the project limits of B
3680 To minimize the potential spread of this species from construction related activities the
NCDOT proposes to attempt to suppress the privet within their right of way within in the project
limits
The Natural Environment Unit shall be contacted to provide construction assistance to ensure
that the mitigation areas are constructed appropriately

Following the successful completion of site grading the wetland restoration area will be planted
on 8 foot centers with native species typical of the adjacent wetland community (reference site)
including American sycamore (Platanus occidentahs), water oak ( Quercus nigra), river birch
(Betula nigra) and green ash (Fraxinus pennsyNanica) depending on seedling availability After
construction of the stream channel all banks will be matted and live stakes, Black willow (Salix
nigra) and Silky dogwood (Cornus amomum) will be planted on 3 foot centers Also native
grass seed and mulch will be placed in wetland restoration area on all disturbed areas within the
wetland and stream restoration area for stabilization purposes according to guidance and standard
procedures of NCDOT s Roadside Environmental Unit An as built report will be submitted
within 60 days of completion of the project
6 0 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
No specific hydrological monitoring is proposed for the stream and wetland restoration area The
target elevation for wetland restoration will be based on the adjacent wetland elevations and
venfied during construction Constructing the site at the adjacent wetland elevation will ensure
the hydrology in the restored area is similar to the hydrology in the reference area The restored
stream will have visual inspection and photo points to insure channel stability
NCDOT shall monitor the wetland restoration site by visual observation and photo points for
survival and aerial cover of vegetation
7 0 MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
Upon successful completion of construction the following monitoring strategy is proposed for
the 1 67 acres of wetland and 118 feet of stream restoration within the NCDOT Right of -Way
NCDOT will perform visual inspection and photo points for 3 years and document monitoring
activities on the site in an annual report distributed to the regulatory agencies
8 0 OTHER INFORMATION
The wetland plant community associated with B 3680 adjacent to Aberdeen Creek and the unnamed
tributary to Aberdeen Creek is a Rivenne Swamp Forest based on NCWAM field assessment
methodology The overall wetland rating was HIGH This is the reference wetland that will be used for
the project
9 0 DETERMINATION OF CREDITS
Per the NCDOT plans and 401/404 permit application for B 3680 NCDOT proposes to restore 167 acres
of nvenne wetlands and 118 feet of stream to mitigate for permanent impacts associated with the TIP at a
1 1 ratio An as built report will be submitted within 60 days of completion of the project to
verify actual constructed acreage The success of the mitigation area and determination of total credits
will be based upon successful completion and closeout of the monitoring period

9 1 CREDIT RELEASE SCHEDULE
NCDOT proposes immediate, full release of the proposed 167 acres of restored nvenne
wetlands as on site mitigation for the associated nvenne impacts of 165 acres for B -3680 at a
1 1 ratio NCDOT also proposes immediate, full release of the proposed 118 feet of restored
rivenne stream as on -site mitigation for the associated nvenne stream impacts of 235 feet for
B -3680 at a 1 1 ratio
10 0 GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE AREA
The proposed Geographic Service Area (GSA) for the ntigation area is composed of the Hydrologic
Cataloging Unit (HUC) 03040203 All stream and wetland credit will be used for B 3680
110 MAINTENANCE PLAN
The site will be held by NCDOT and placed on the NEU mitigation geodatabase Once
monitoring is completed and the site is closed out it will be placed in the NCDOT Stewardship
Program for long term maintenance and protection
If an appropriate third party recipient is identified in the future then the transfer of the property
will include a conservation easement or other measure to protect the natural features and
mitigation value of the site in perpetuity
12 0 LONG TERM ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
The site will be managed by the NCDOT according to the mitigation plan In the event that
unforeseen issues arse that affect the management of the site any remediathon will be addressed
by NCDOT in coordination with the Interagency Review Team
13 0 FINANCIAL ASSURANCES
The site will be managed by NCDOT with its own distinct cost center number within the
NCDOT budgeting and financial tracking system Therefore all accounting for revenues
contract encumbrances, fund transfers, and expenses will be performed and reported independent
from other capital budget or operating budget accounting
