Hi Mason,
We had talked last year about a pond that you all have a permit for which is the 140 Connector US 17 Widening R2405A
on Scotts Hill Loop Road. The neighbor, Ms. Gwen Justice (cc'd), has contacted me again about the pond being
overgrown. It sounds like it is time to chop it back down. Are you still the contact for this, and if not, can you please
direct me to who is?
Thanks,
Kelly

Subject: Streamlining State Storrnwater Permitting For NCDOT Prc iects
Dear Mr. Gibson:
l am pleased to inform you that effective August 1, 2013 the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) will no longer be required to submit State Storrnwater permit applications for
projects discharging stormwater runoff in F-ligh Quality Waters (HWQ) and Outstanding Resource Waters
(ORW) watersheds. In addition, projects located within the 20 coastal counties, which are excluded by
rule from the requirements of 15A NCAC 021 I .1005, will no longer require submittal of State
Storrnwater permit applications or submittal of requests for NCDI;NR to provide confirmation that the
proposed project is excluded from State Storrnwater permitting requirements under 15A NCAC 021-1
.1000. NCDOT may consult with NCDE-NR on a case-hy-case basis as needed to promote protection of
water quality standards.
'['iris streamlining initiative is being implemented because NCDOT is regulated under its National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (Nl'DF'S) permit, NCS000250, Your NPDES permit applies
statewide and authorizes NCDOT to discharge general roadway and railway drainage, non -roadway
Facility drainage, borrow pit wastewater and stormwater associated with industrial activities. The NPDES
permit requires NCDOT to maintain and implement a Post- Construction Stonmvaler Program (PCSP)
which regulates stormwater discharges from new NCDOT development and redevelopment for new built
upon area. The PCSP requires structural and non-structural best management practices (BMPs) to
protect water quality, reduce pollutant loading, and minimiZc post -construction impacts to water quality.
The f'CSP outlines the implementation of the approved BM P Toolbox and a training program for
NCDOT staff and contractors for implementation of the Toolbox. The PCSP also identifies
documentation requirenielUs and defines the workflow for interaction between NCDOT and NCDENR.
Updates and/or revisions to the PCSP mast be submitted to NCDENR For approval.

Georgette,
We need to decide what to do with NCDOT permits that aren't required to renew. Mere is the history:
1. 1 had a complaint about a NCDOT infiltration basin a while back, had it inspected, wrote a letter, and they have
maintained it. The permit had'expired and so I also asked them to renew. But, there was evidently a 2013 letter
from DENR to NCDOT saying that they don't have to renew. (See email attached. That email has a pdf
attachment with the letter.) The top of page 2 is inserted below:
l:unher. NCDOT will not be required to renew existing State Post -Construction Stormwater
permits Mien they expire. Mien existing State Post -Construction Stormwater permits expire, all the
operation and maintenance requirements for Stormwater Controls Measures will be covered under the
operation and maintenance requirements of the NCDOT pennit. NCS000250.
We need to decide three things:
a. How do we want to close these permits out?: Options discussed in 2016 were revoke and
rescind. Christine had drafted a letter. (the Word file in the attached email), but we don't think it was
ever approved/finalized.
b. The 2013 letter addresses the O&M, but what about the rest of the permit?: For instance, the permit I
was working on has two infiltration basins. If we revoke or rescind these permits what happens to the
design data? Or, does it not matter? Was the intention to essentially dissolve the NCDOT permits that
had been issued because they no longer had to obtain permits since they have a NPDES Permit?
c. If we rescind or revoke them, what do we do with our hard copies?: We typically keep files that are
rescinded. (And probably revoked, but there aren't many.) Bradley talked to the transportation group
in DWR and they didn't need the files. He recommended that we at WiRO decide if we want to keep
them in our filing stacks and if not, archive them in the State Archives. Is there still interest in archiving
them, or do we want to keep them?
Thanks,
Kelly

Subject: SW8 011006 Non Compliance Letter
Hey Kelly, I have received your letter dated September 7, 2018 in reference to non-compliance issues with the R-2405A
US 17 Bypass State Stormwater Permit No. SW8 011006. In regards to the Notice of Non -Compliance Inspection,
NCDOT mowed this site on September 10th. The mowing of this site was delayed due to above average rainfall that this
12

area received during the month of July which put our mowing contractor behind schedule. The attached photos were
taken today to document that the site has been maintained.
In regards to the Notice of Permit Extension & Request for Permit Renewal, in a letter dated July 26, 2013 from Mike,
Randall, NCDOT was advised that we will not be required to renew existing State Post -Construction permits when they
expire. All operation and maintenance requirements for Stormwater Control Measures will be covered. under the
operation and maintenance requirements of the NCDOT permit NCS000250.
Please let me know if the information provided, resolves the issues noted in your noncompliance letter dated
September 7, 2018.
Thank you and let me know if you need any additional information.

R2405A US 17 Bypass
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Clawson:
The Wilmington Regional Office received a Stormwater Management Permit Application for R2405A
US 17 Bypass on October 11, 2001. A preliminary review of that information has determined that the
application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review:
Please remove the underdrains. The idea is to infiltrate the runoff, not collect it in underdrains
and discharge it. Only the excess design storm events should be going through the filter. If the
soils meet the minimum design criteria, there should not be any standing water after 5 days.
2. Perforated pipes through the berm are allowed, but the collection pipe would need to enter the
forebay at the top, not the bottom. The runoff would then trickle down over a sand filter. The
perforated pipes would lay on the ground at the bottom of the sand filter and help carry the flow
from the forebay into the main infiltration area. See the enclosed detail.
.3. Please delineate the I5.I acre drainage area for the infiltration basin. A small scale 1 page
drawing will be fine.
4. Please sign the operation and maintenance plan and submit the original.
Please add a vegetated filter detail which includes a flow spreader mechanism and the finished
grade elevations.
6. The system should be off-line, i.e., the excess design storm runoff should bypass the basin
before it gets into the basin, not after. For example, a bypass line to a vegetated filter should be
located in the same manhole that directs runoff into the basin. See the enclosed details.

Dear Mr. Foster:
The Division of Water Quality received a faxed copy of your letter to Mr, Lanny Wilson, Director of the NC
Board of Transportation, on February 25, 2002. Your letter is in opposition to the direct discharge of stormwater
into Foy Creek proposed by DOT as part of the US 17 widening project from Porters Neck to Scotts Hill Loop Road.
Your letter also mentions that the DOT agreed to divert this runoff northward along US 17. 1 am not aware of any
agreement. Please be assured that no direct discharge of stormwater into Foy Creek has been approved.
The DOT began the process of permitting an infiltration basin for this stotmwater runoff in May, 2001. The
Division of Water Quality required that all other options be exhausted before permitting this project. The Regional
Soils Scientist visited the site in June, 2001, and confirmed that it met the minimum requirements for infiltration.
The project submitted a State Stormwater Management permit application on October 11, 2001, A permit to
construct an infiltration basin to control the runoff from a 15.1 acre drainage area was issued to the DOT on
February 2, 2002. Incidentally, the plan you attached to your fax is not the one that we approved.
The proposed site meets all infiltration basin criteria set forth in NCAC 2H.1000. The runoff from a 1.5"
storm event will be contained and infiltrated. Any excess design storm overflows from the basin will pass through
a 50' vegetated filter prior to discharge into Foy Creek. I think you will agree that this is afar better situation than
in the past, where it was very likely that this runoff would have been discharged directly into the Creels with no
treatment whatsoever.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at [phone].

Ok, it looks like May 24 is the day. We will meet at 8:30 AM in
the PDIA conference room, RM 470 in the Highway Building in
downtown Raleigh. If this is too early we can move it until 9 AM
although this will cut us down to an hour due to the conference
room being signed out a 10 AM for most of the day.
We will not be discussing the revised mitigation proposal. The
two main issue to dicuss are the revised plans for the drainage
outfall and whether the project will now .require a CAMA permit.
If you do not have questions or concerns about the revised plans
or involvement with the CAMA decision you may opt not to attend
this meeting. I would like to clear up any remaining issues
besides the mitigation proposal. Thank you for your cooperation.

Bradley & Jeanette,
I don't know how strongly Tommy wants to enforce/regulate our
stormwater codes regarding projects that drain to SA waters, but now
is a good time to inquire.
There is a Dept. of Transportation project with a let date of August
2001 that borders on the Pender-New Hanover. County lines. It will drain
directly to Futch Creek, SA ORW. A site visit was made by many
different agencies for BMPs on November 28, 2000. The two choices put
to me that DOT had were either to straight pipe that would let out
several hundred yards into a swal.e graded directly into Futch Creek or
to pipe it to an impoundment/wetland area which would then let out
directly to Futch Creek. I recommended the impoundment area with the
addition of a fore bay. I was told onsite that addi.ti.onal area behind
the impoundment would be condemned and purchased by DOT if there was not
enough area and volume to properly treat the runoff from the 4.2ac of
imp. area. I received calculations regarding the proposed fore bay but
known for the wetland area. I am currently trying to get this missing
information and thought it prudent to inform yourselves as well as
inquire as to the extent WQ should enforce it's State SW rules. I've
talked with CAMA and it would be very easy to require a Major permit
because of the vicinity and impacts to Futch Creek. I need to know
exactly how to proceed with permitting. If CAMA does require a Major,
what kind of deal was worked out with WO and DOT?
In light- of a recent letter to Tommy regarding the protection of SA
wagers should infiltration be required or just requested. I'll let you
know now that requesting will not get us infiltration. If we were to
permit this as a wet pond then it would have to be permitted as a
alternative BMP because as you know wet ponds are not allowed to drain
to SA waters. (Note, it will have a direct discharge to SA waters.)
This project is highly monitored by the public, i.e. conservationists
and environmentalists. If we let DOT by with not meeting the least of.
minimal. .requirements I truly believe that it will. come back to haunt- us,
not to mention
the harm to FuLch Creek that will be created and that will last as long
as the road
remains.
By the way, when is our next meeting? If it is the first week in May I
think
we could talk about this then. .If. it is either the last week in May or
the first week in June I need to get back to DOT's engineers before
then.
Yes it is Monday and yes I have nothing else better to do then bug you
with
this ki.nd of. problem ) .
Take care and have a couple of aspirin on me,

Hello everyone! Hopefully everyone has had a chance to look over
the revised plans for the drainage outfall. Many questions about
the plans have been asked, therefore I would like to try and
schedule a meeting to discuss them. The main issue is whether
NCDOT will have to acquire a CAMA major permit for the project.
I have talked with various people and feel that meeting as a
group would allow all questions to be answered and concerns to be
voiced. If you will put together a list of dates in May that you
could meet in Raleigh I will try to set something up. Since the
main issue is with DCM,.T will go by their schedule as well as
our Hydro department. Thank you for your cooperation. Let me
know if you have any questions:[phone] ext. 332.

On May 24, 2001 an agency meeting was held for project R-2405A to discuss the
revised design of the drainage outfall into Futch Creek. The meeting minutes are
provided below.
DCM
Ed Brooks stated that a mean high water survey would be required to determine
whether a CAMA major permit will be required. A permit will be needed if DOT
construction occurs within 75 feet of the mean high water line. In order speed things
along Ed offered to flag an approximate mean high water line based on field indicators
which is typically landward of the actual line. NCDOT's Hydro department mentioned
and is checking into leaving the existing pipe leading from the wet area under the road
there instead of replacing it. The pipe may not need to be replaced but was agreed to in
order to ease the mind of the adjacent landowner about water backing up onto their
property.
Cathy Brittingham said that since she received the public notice from COE, the CAMA
consistency program was triggered. This means that minimum water quality standards
must be met in which case the DWQ stormwater division is consulted.
DWQ — Stormwater
Scott Vinson stated that if a CAMA permit is needed than a stormwater permit would
also be required. Either way in order to meet minimum water quality standards the first
1 '/2 inch of run-off gust be collected and treated before release. As the design is now,
the forbay arel gmeets the surface area volume requirements for the 1 '/2 inch
collection but the wet area does not. Scott made several suggestions.
Split the drainage into both areas, Futch Creek and the wet area.
2) Use infiltration (used for SA waters) in the adjacent upland area. The infiltration
basin would have to be higher than the water table to ensure that run-off does not
discharge immediately. Maintenance and clearing of debris periodically would be
involved. Soils would have to be investigated before using upland for infiltration.
Must be able to have a little over'/z inch infiltration rate.
No forbay, all run-off goes directly to upland.
Run-off goes through forbay, 1 '/2 inch goes to upland and rest goes into wet area
then is discharged.
Expand the wet area into the adjacent upland to increase volume and surface area
j \ (COE does not approve of this).
Another suggestion was made by DCM that overflow from the inlet to the system could
infiltrate through a grass swell.

Scott Vinson also stated that the forbay would have to be maintained and cleared ofj a
debris periodically. He believes that even with this the wet area will still fill with
sediment and have to be maintained as well. It needs to be determined whether` .
clearing sediment out of the wet area is a jurisdictional wetland impact by COE
standards. The wet area is not a CAMA jurisdictional wetland. The area will continue to
be a wetland and vegetation will grow back once sediment is removed during
maintenance, although aquatic life might take longer.
Everyone present agreed that reaching in with machinery to clear dead debris from the
wet area would be acceptable. COE must be consulted.
DCM warned that the locals have expressed great concern over any new discharge into
Futch Creek which is an AEC. The shell fish beds in Futch Creek were once closed but
due to efforts to bring them back are now open again. Hence the reason the locals are
protective of this area.

Reference: DCM03-16. TIP No. R-2405A. I40 Connector from just east of the 1-40
Interchange to the US 17 Interchange north.of Porter's Neck Road (SR 1402) and
US 17 from Porter's Neck Road to Scott's Hill Loop Road, New Hanover and
Pender Counties. USACE Public Notice issued on 3/10/03. Action ID No.
199403620.
Dear Colonel Alexander:
The N.C. Division of Coastal Management (DCM) has completed its review of the above
referenced Public Notice pursuant to 15 CFR 930 Subpart D, Consistency for Activities requiring
a Federal License and NC Executive Order 15, Consistency for State Activities. As part of its
review, DCM has also circulated the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) public notice to
state agency reviewers for comment.
According to the USACE public notice issued on 3/10/03, the USACE is reviewing an
application from the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to authorize a four -lane,
median divided facility entirely on new location between 1-40 and US Highway 17, and
including the widening of US Highway 17 to four lanes between Porters Neck and Scotts Hill
Loop Road in New Hanover and Pender Counties. The purpose of the work is to provide a
freeway connection to the Wilmington Bypass to allow through traffic to avoid Market Street
and the greater Wilmington urban area.
According to the USACE public notice issued on 3/10/03, the project will connect to the eastern
terminus of the Wilmington Bypass interchange at 1-40 and will require the construction of a
new interchange at US Highway 17 at Porters Neck. The proposed median width will'be 46 feet
with embankment slopes at 4:1. Flatter slopes on this project are being proposed to preclude the
need for additional shoulder widths to accommodate guardrail. NCDOT has replaced the initial
proposal to construct a storm water facility adjacent to Scotts Hill Loop Road to carry runoff
from a portion of the US 17 widening with a new stormwater facility located adjacent to Scotts
Hill Loop Road on the property of the Scotts Hill Baptist Church.

According to the USACE public notice issued on 3/10/03, construction of the proposed project
will permanently impact 98.2 acres of wetlands and 173.2 feet of stream associated with Prince
Georges Creek. Permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands are summarized as follows: Wet
pine flatwoods (93.9 acres); and bottomland hardwoods (4.3 acres). NCDOT is proposing to use
the Dale Tract, the Corbett Tract, and the Haws Run Tract to provide any necessary
compensatory mitigation for the unavoidable wetland impacts associated with this project. In
order.to compensate for the unavoidable 173.2 feet of stream impacts associated with Prince
Georges Creek, the NCDOT proposes to utilize the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program
(WRP) to provide: 352 feet of compensatory stream mitigation.
In accordance with a statement contained on page 33 of the State Finding of No Significant
Impact (FONSI) for TIP No. R-2405A, dated December 1998, the 1-40 Connector facility will be
constructed as a four -lane, fully controlled access highway with interchanges planned only at the
two termini locations.
DCM has determined that the proposed project as described in the USACE public notice issued
on 3/10/03 is consistent with the North Carolina Coastal Management Program provided the
following conditions are met:
1. - NCDOT shall comply with the Stormwater Permit Modification (No. SW8011006)
issued on 6/9/03 by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) under stormwater
management rules of the Environmental Management Commission.
2. NCDOT shall comply with the Modification to Water Quality Certification No. 3342
(DWQ Project No. 001426) issued on 3/7/03 by the N.C. Division of Water Quality
(DWQ)-
3. In accordance with comments received from the N.C. Division of Land Resources, all
DOT land disturbing activity must be in compliance with the N.C. Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act and conform with the Memorandum of Understanding that DOT
has with the Division of Land Resources.
4. This project shall not directly impact any Coastal Area Management Act (LAMA) Area
of Environmental Concern, therefore a CAMA permit is not required. The permittee
shall notify DCM immediately if at any time during the construction of this project
potential direct impacts to CAMA AEC's are identified. This includes CAMA AEC'S on
the south side of Scott's Hill Loop Road east of US Highway 17. Any development
activities on the south side of Scott's Hill Loop Road, including but not limited to any
additional riprap, any extension of the existing pipe, and/or any additional pipe under
Scott's Hill Loop Road, could bring the project within the Coastal Wetlands AEC and/or
the Estuarine Shoreline AEC.
5. An interchange connects TIP No. R-2405A (I-40 Connector) with TIP No. R-2633C
(Wilmington Bypass). Construction of TIP No. R-2633C is authorized by CAMA Major
Permit number 130-00. Due to the proximity of TIP No. R-2405A and TIP No. R-
2633C, and the interchange that connects them, the permittee shall immediately notify

DCM during planning, design and/or construction of TIP No. R-2405A if there are any
potential project changes that may overlap with the project area of TIP No. R-2633C.
Any proposed project changes to the planning, design and/or construction of TIP No. �R-
2633C will require authorization by DCM under the authority of CAMA Major Permit
number 130-00.
6. In accordance with the avoidance and minimization summary contained within the
NCDOT application cover letter dated 11/3/00, and the Environmental Commitments
contained within the State Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) dated December
1998, where the project crosses high quality wetlands, side slopes of 2:1 will be used and
plated with stone or sod.
7. In accordance with the summary of environmental commitments contained within the
NCDOT application cover letter dated 11/3/00, and.a statement contained on page 1 i of
the State Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) dated December 1998, all wetlands
not affected by the project will be protected from unnecessary encroachment. No staging
of construction equipment, or storage of construction supplies will be allowed in a
wetland or near any water -related area. These wetland areas to be protected will be
flagged by a qualified biologist and if necessary, will be temporarily fenced. All bare fill
or cut slopes adjacent to streams or intermittent drainages will be stabilized as soon as
possible.
In addition, the permittee is encouraged to contact the Public Health Pest Management Section at
[phone] to discuss mosquito control measures.
If you -have any questions regarding DCM's finding or conditions, please contact Cathy
Brittingham at [phone] x238 or via e-mail at [e-mail]. Thank you
for your consideration of the North Carolina Coastal Management Program.

Dave,
In order for DCM to conduct a review of this public notice for consistency with the N.C. Coastal
Management Program, DCM needs to receive the standard number of hard copies (12?) of the Public
Notice from USACE for distribution to state review agencies. After DCM receives the hard copies of
the Public Notice from USACE, DCM is allowed 90 days to make a consistency determination for a
federal license such as this, with an option to extend the review for an additional 90 days if necessary.
Due to the extensive interagency coordination that has occurred previously on this project, the
consistency review should not take 90 days. However, I am almost certain that DCM will not be able to
reach a consistency determination prior to April 9th. DCM will make every effort to expedite the review
of the Public Notice for this project.
Please let me know when DCM can expect to receive the standard number of hard copies (12?) of the
Public Notice from USACE for distribution to state review agencies. Please also let me know if you
have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Cathy

Thank you far your recent letter concerning the proposed storm water systrnti and the potential
impact on'Futch.Cree-k. The drainage system was not proposed to carry water from the
interchange buc only from Ilie area that naturally drains to the low area at the Skipper property.
The &parrment i$ obll�atcd to handle the water so as 'lot to creato or allow A _3fety problem for
the traveling public. The pipe that .would carry the water from the US 17 right; -of -way was Only a
?.6-inch nipc. The 60-inch pipe was designed to carry water from any future devolupartcnt on the
Skipper property.
As 1 arts sure you know, the department is required to obtain proper environmental permits for
co,rstNction of the highway. There have been other concems expressed about the proposed
system. As a result, the deparlmcut's staff looked a. snolher altenradve, which Would carry the
water down the right-of-way of Scotts Hill Loop road and empty into a sulm water retentioll
b3sitr. Staff met with representatives of the v$riou5 environrrtental resource and regulatory
aScricies earlier this week to look at the other altrtttativc, All vepre,entatives agreed that the
second proposal was much better than the original Across the Skipper property. The group
irlciud5d r:piGsantatives from the Corps of Engineers, Division of Coastal Management, Wildlife.
Resources commission, Division of water Quality and Fish & Wildlife. All were satisfied the
dcpirtment had an alternative that would be the least damaging to the environment.
Also, Joe Blair our Division Construction Engineer is very familiar with this projact. He. was
involved in the meetings, and could probably answer any questions you might have. You con
reach hits, at 251-5724.

Dear Lanny,
In 1996 our conservancy lead a team that worked together to clean up Futch Creek and
return it to shell fishing quality. Involved were the state Marine Fisheries office and
Shellfish Sanitation; the County Health Department and Planning Office; state and
federal Soil and Water officials; the U. S. Corp of Engineers and Pender Watch and
Conservancy. We increased salt water flushing which reduced fecal coliform bacteria to
acceptable levels
Late in 2000 DOT proposed to divert drainage from the proposed 140-US 17
interchange tluough a 60-inch pipe into the Futch Creek branch called Foys Creek.
Those concerned mentioned above protested that such a large amount of dirty fresh water
could again cause Futch Creek to return to its previous polluted status. DOT agreed to
divert the discharge northward along us 17.
We have been informed that DOT still plans to channel these waters into the Foy Creek
branch of Futch Creek. Only this time along SR 1571 to a holding pond type structure
with a spillway into the head waters of the Foys Creek branch of Fetch Creek'
Lanny, please do what you can to stop DOT from destroying our successful ei%rt to
clean up Futch Creek.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Timpy:
On 2/26/01, the N.C. Division of Coastal Management (DCM) received the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) Public Notice dated 2/8/01 (Action ID No. 199403620) for the above
referenced project. DCM circulated the Public Notice to state agencies for review and comment.
At an interagency meeting on 5/24/01, the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) determined that
the proposed stormwater management design was not acceptable. In addition, the N.C. Department
of Transportation (NCDOT) was in the process of revising the project's mitigation plan. Therefore,
on 5/24/01, DCM determined that a final position on the proposal's consistency with the North
Carolina Coastal Management Program was not applicable at that time.
On 1/23/02, DCM received a letter from NCDOT dated 11/28/01 (DCM 02-20) providing
information about changes in impacts to waters of the United States since the 11/3/00 application
was submitted. The 11/28/01 NCDOT letter also includes a mitigation plan for the subject project
and an update regarding protected species. .
DCM has received comments from state agencies regarding the USACE public notice dated
2/26/01, and the NCDOT letter dated 11/28/01. The initial deadline for developing a final position
on the project's consistency with the North Carolina Coastal Management Program was 4/23/02.
DCM is in the process of developing a final position at this time, however, we are extending the
federal and state consistency review for an additional 90 days, pursuant to 15CFR 930.62. DCM
will provide our position to USACE on or before 7/23/02:
Please keep us informed of any new information or project modifications that may occur during the
USACE review process. If either you or the applicant have any questions, please contact me at
[phone] x249 or contact Cathy Brittingham at [phone] x238. Thank you for your
consideration of the North Carolina Coastal Management Program.

Stormwater Management Plan (R-2405A)
Best management practices will be implemented for the entire project.
• Avoid ditching and channelization through wetlands as much as possible and
practicable.
• Temporary erosion control plans will be included in the construction plans.
• Designs and design criteria that are consistent with minimum standard promulgated
by DENR will be utilized.
• Erosion and sedimentation erosion control measures, structures, and devices within
High Quality water zones shall be designed to provide protection from runoff of the
25 year frequency storm.
• Sediment basins within High Quality water zones shall be designed to have a settling
efficiency of at least 70% for the 40 micron size soil particles transported into the
basin by the runoff of the 2 year frequency storm.
• Discharge from highway drainage systems at the edge of wetlands or floodplains to
promote filtration of discharge prior to its entering the stream.
In addition to the above, the following additional measures will be implemented:
• Use of rip -rap will be limited to pipe outlets and steep ditches to reduce soil erosion.
• Typical section for the proposed roadway will incorporate a shoulder section with
grassed median and side ditches.
• Utilization of existing agricultural ditches, where practical, to convey stormwater
runoff to the receiving streams and wetlands.
• No sediment basins will be constructed in wetland areas.
• Existing channels and ditches will be relocated, where practicable, to maintain open
channel flow.
• All stormwater discharge from the proposed roadway will be in the form of sheet
flow into the grassed roadway ditches before entering the proposed storm drainage
system, and will be outlet again into grassed ditches before reaching streams and
wetlands. (See Roadway Plans)
• In large wetland areas, equalizer pipes will be installed to maintain the existing
hydrology.

IV.' INFILTRATION BASIN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
1. After every runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly inspect the infiltration system for erosion,
trash accumulation, vegetative cover, and general condition.
2. Repair eroded areas immediately, re -seed as necessary to maintain adequate vegetative cover, mow
vegetated cover to maintain a maximum height of six inches, and remove trash as needed.
3. After every'runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly inspect the bypass, inflow and overflow
structures for blockage and deterioration. Remove any blockage and repair the structure to approved
design specifications.
4. Remove accumulated sediment from the pretreatment system and infiltration basin annually or when
depth in the pretreatment unit is reduced to 75% of the original design depth. The system shall be restored
to the original design depth without over -excavating. Over -excavating may cause the required water
table separation to be reduced and may compromise the ability of the system to perform as designed.
Removed sediment shall be disposed of in an appropriate manner and shall not be handled in a manner
that will adversely impact water quality (i.e. stockpiling near a stormwater treatment device or stream,
etc.).
A benchmark shall be established in the pretreatment unit. The benchmark will document the original
design depth so that accurate sediment accumulation readings can be taken. The measuring device used
to determine the depth at the benchmark shall be such that it will give an accurate depth reading and not
readily penetrate into accumulated sediments.
When the design depth reads I , S feet in the pretreatment unit, the sediment shall be
removed from both the pretreatment unit and the infiltration basin.
5 If the Division determines that the system is failing, the system will immediately be repaired to original
design specifications. If the system cannot be repaired to perform its design function, other stormwater
control devices as allowed by NCAC 2H .1000 must be designed, approved and constructed.

PUBLIC NOTICE
THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
(NCDOT), CIO MR. WILLIAM D. GILMORE, P.E., MANAGER, PROJECT
DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS BRANCH, 1548 MAIL
SERVICE CENTER, RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27699-1548 HAS APPLIED
FOR A DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY PERMIT TO DISCHARGE FILL
MATERIAL INTO 106 ACRES OF JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS IN THE
HEADWATERS OF PRINCE GEORGES CREEK, SN41TH CREEK AND OTHER
UNNAMED TRIBUTARIES TO THE NORTHEAST CAPE FEAR RIVER AND THE
ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY TO CONSTRUCT THE I-40
CONNECTOR FROM PORTERS NECK TO 1-40 INCLUDING THE WIDENING OF
US HIGHWAY 17 FROM PORTERS NECK TO SCOTTS HILL LOOP ROAD,
WILMINGTON, NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (TIP R-2405A).
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and
from observations made during site visits by representatives of the Corps of Engineers.
History: The State Environmental Assessment (SEA) describing this project was approved
on June 14, 1994 and on December 17, 1998, a State Finding of No Significant Impact was
prepared (FONSI). As described in the SEA, the original project extended from 1-40 to NC
Highway 17 at Porters Neck and included the widening of US Highway 17 to four lanes to NC
Highway 50 in Holly Ridge in Pender County. The widening of US Highway 17 from Porters
Neck to Holly Ridge was subsequently addressed in a separate FONSI dated November 1, 1994.
With the exception of the section between Porters Neck and Scotts Hill Loop Road, US Highway
17 has been widened to four -lanes including a five -lane section through Hampstead. Impacts to
waters and wetlands associated with these projects have been considered under separate permit
actions.
The project now being considered for authorization is a four -lane, median divided facility
entirely on new location between 1-40 and US Highway 17 and includes the widening of US
Highway 17 to four -lanes between Porters Neck and Scotts Hill Loop Road in Pender County.

2
The project will connect to the eastern terminus of the Wilmington Bypass interchange at
I-40 and will require the construction of a new interchange at US Highway 17 at Porters Neck.
The proposed median width will be 46 feet with embankment slopes at 4:1. Flatter slopes on this
project are being proposed to preclude the need for additional shoulder widths to accommodate
guardrail, Plans also show the installation of 1,200 mm equalizer pipes under the road fill at
approximately 60 m inters als. NCDOT also proposes to construct a storm water outfall adjacent
to Scotts Hill Loop Road to carry runoff from a portion of the US 17 widening. NCDOT is
proposing to discharge this water into a storm water detention facility consisting of a forebay and
wet detention pond near the head of Foys Creek on the north side of Scotts Hill Loop Road.
The new location portion of the I-40 Connector traverses a broad, relatively flat interstream
divide wetland system in the headwaters of Prince Georges Creek, Island Creek, Smith Creek,
Pages Creek and Futch Creek. Dominant vegetation includes pond pine (Pines serotina), loblolly
pine, (P. taeda), Sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciiva), red maple (Acer rubrum) and a variety of
broad leaved, evergreen shrubs including fetterbush (Lxonia lucida) and gallberry (Ilex gtqbD,l.
coriacea). Prevalent soil types include Murville mucky sands and Leon fine sands. With the
exception of the channelized headwater of Prince Georges Creek at the western end of the
project, no streams will be impacted by the proposed project.
Permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands are as follows:
Headwater Forest
1.7 acres
Non-riverine Swamp Forest
2.6 acres
Pond Pine Woodland
63.0 acres
Pond Pine Scrubland
34.7 acres
Wet Pine Flatwoods 4.1 acres
Total, 106.1 acres
Mitigation:
NCDOT is proposing to use the Dale Tract, the Finley McMillian Tract, and the Haws Run
Tract in the following forms and amounts to provide any necessary compensatory
mitigation for the unavoidable wetland impacts associated with this project:
Community Impacts
Site
Amount
Wet Pine Flats 102.0
Dale Tract
215 acres restoration
Wet Pine Flats
Dale Tract
23 acres enhancement
Wet Pine Flats
Finley McMillan
200 acres preservation
Bottomland
Hardwood 4.2
Haws Run
8 acres restoration

The purpose of the work is to provide a freeway connection to the Wilmington Bypass to
allow through traffic to avoid Market Street and the greater Wilmington urban area. A map
showing the location of the proposed road and the location of the three proposed mitigation
sites are included with this public notice. Tile SEA and FONSI, complete set of plan
sheets, and the complete mitigation proposal and plans may be inspected at the U.S. Ai -my
Corps of Engineers, Regulatory Division office, 69 Darlington Avenue, Wilmington, North
Carolina between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:30 pm Monday through Friday.
The applicant has determined that the proposed work is consistent with the North Carolina
Coastal Zone Management Plan and has submitted this determination to the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) for their review and concurrence. This proposal
shall be reviewed for the applicability of other actions by North Carolina agencies such as:
a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act
by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ).
.b. The issuance of a pennit to dredge and/or fill under North Carolina General Statute 1 13-
229 by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM).
c. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA) by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) or their delegates.
d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-owned submerged land
under North Carolina General Statute 143-34] (4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by the North
Carolina Department of Administration (NCDA) and the North Carolina Council of State.
e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan by the Land Quality
Section, North Carolina Division of Land Resources (NCDLR), pursuant to the State
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 1 l3 A-50-66).
The requested Department of the Army (DA) pen -nit will be denied if any required State or
local authorization and/or certification is denied. No DA permit will be issued until a State
coordinated viewpoint is received and reviewed by this agency. Recipients of this notice are
encouraged to furnish comments on factors of concern represented by the above agencies directly
to the respective agency, with a copy furnished to the Corps of Engineers.
This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the
Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The District Engineer's initial
determination is that the proposed project would not adversely impact EFH or associated
fisheries managed by the South Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Councils or the
National Marine Fisheries Service.

This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33
U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in this
notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing
shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The 1-40 Connector alignment will have no direct impact on structures of historical or
architectural importance. However, one National Register architectural property is located along
the US 17 portion of the project. The Poplar Grove/Foy House is located just east of US 17 near
Scotts Hill Loop Road. The National Register Boundaries of this site encompass 14.8 acres.
Improvements to US 17 in this area will be constructed west of the existing roadway and,
according to the applicant, should not directly impact this site. Potential impacts to this property,
or any other registered properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion on the latest
published version of the National Register of Historic Places, identified during the review of this
project, will be coordinated, as appropriate, with the SHPO. Consultation of the National
Register is the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is
otherwise unaware of the presence of any other such resources. Presently, unknown
archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work
authorized by the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed
activity will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision, whether to issue a permit, will be based on an evaluation of the probable
impacts, including cumulative impacts, .of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public
interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts that the proposed activity may have on the,public
interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors that become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits that may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its
foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions
under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore decided by the outcome of the general
balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and use
of important resources. All factors that may be relevant to the proposal must be considered
including the cumulative effects of it. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics,
general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards
and flood plain values (according to Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion
and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water'quality, energy needs, safety,
food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general,
the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill
materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be
authorized would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) guidelines.
Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be
granted unless the District Engineer decides that it would be contrary to the public interest.

The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local
agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties to consider and evaluate the
impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of
Engineers to decide whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To
make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic
properties, water quality, general enviromnental effects and the other public interest factors listed
above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to decide the need for a public hearing and to decide the
public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA) permit will not
be made until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives
State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDWQ considers
whether the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean
Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of the Army (DA) permit
serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the
offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ), Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina, Copies of such
materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
All persons wanting to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water Act
certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ), 1621 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621, on or before
March 2, 2001, Attention: Mr. John Domey.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in
this office, Attention: Mr. Scott McLendon, until 4.15 p.m., March 9, 2001.
