Project Information and Merger Process History
An overview of the projects history was presented that Included previous decision points and
milestones NCDOT presented a graphic on the white board showing how the project had
progressed through Concurrence Point 3 (LEDPA) and Concurrence Point 4B (Hydraulic
Design) It was explained that due to elapsed time and project developments specifically
changing the document type from an Environmental Assessment (EA) to an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) and the update of the RCW Recovery Plan the merger process Is
being reinitiated at Concurrence Point 3 Below are project milestones that were reviewed in
the discussion of project history
(1996) Original CP3 Meeting
• (1997) NCDOT purchased Croatan Wetland Mitigation Bank
• (1998) Approved Environmental Assessment
• (2000) CP 2A Agreement on bridge lengths
• (2002) CP 4B 30% hydraulic review
• (2003) RCW Recovery Plan
(2003) Determined EIS as appropriate document format
• (2006 — 2010) Updated Environmental Studies
• (September 2011) Approved Draft Environmental Impact Statement
• (December 2011) Corridor Public Hearing
Reinitiate Merger Process
Sta>t1W The team discussed reinitiation of the merger process at Concurrence Point 3 (LEDPA) It
was also discussed that there has been Inconsistent reporting of the proposed bridge lengths
for hydraulic crossings along the project Specifically the lengths previously shown for
Concurrence Point 2A (Bridging Decisions and Alignment Review) Concurrence Point 4B
April 10 2012 Meeting Summary
Page 3 of 11
Reference R 1015 US 70 Havelock Bypass Corridor Selection (CP3 Revisited)
(30% Hydraulic Review) and within the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) are
not the same The group discussed that the re initiation of the merger process would begin
with Concurrence Point 3 and then the associated bridge lengths would need to be re
verified
Updated Technical Reports & Environmental Documents
A summary was verbally provided to the team listing the status of the environmental
document and updates of associated technical reports The DEIS was approved in
September 2011 and the FEIS is currently in development Reports that are in the
process of being updated since the approval of the DEIS include the Proposed
Endangered Threatened and Sensitive (PETS) species surveys and report the RCW
absence surveys and report and the traffic noise analysis and report These studies are
all being conducted in 2012
Comments on Draft EIS
Comments that had been received on the DEIS were discussed to provide clarification or
to discuss their relevance to the selection of the LEDPA The comment discussions by
subject are provided below
Traffic Forecasting and Capacity Analysis
The U S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) comments requested clarification of the
traffic analysis summary In the DEIS Specifically that the results show levels of service
(LOS) on US 70 will still be at failing levels In the Build condition
NCDOT responded that If the bypass Is In place the traffic forecast shows It would divert
10 000 15 000 vehicles per day (vpd) off of US 70 Although many of the intersections along
existing US 70 are predicted to still have undesirable design year LOS In the Build scenario
this reduction of vehicles will result In a mayor reduction in delay and queue lengths
NCDOT also described the City of Havelock s plans for existing US 70 once the bypass Is
constructed which Include transforming existing US 70 to a complete streets facility
The EPA requested providing more detailed traffic summary Information prior to the next
meeting The EPA stated that this traffic Information Is critical to their selection of a LEDPA
and needs to be presented In more detail In the environmental document
Stream Mitigation
During the meeting the EPA asked how stream mitigation was being provided for the project
and If the Croatan Wetland Mitigation Bank (CWMB) was intended to provide stream
mitigation NCDOT responded that the CWMB is intended to address stream mitigation
needs for the project and that details of the stream mitigation elements of the CWMB would
be included In the FEIS
Red cockaded Woodpecker and Section 7 Consultation
The U S Fish & Wildlife Service ( USFWS) comments on the DEIS Indicate that the USFWS
does not oppose Corridor 3 as the Preferred Alternative and that formal Section 7
consultation Is not needed
StanteC The group discussed that there were some inconsistencies in the DEIS regarding
agreements and discussions to date with respect to RCW impacts The inconsistencies
were primarily due to the timing of final documentation of NCDOT s commitment to closing
the bypass for prescribed burns versus the publication of the DEIS The USFWS and others
confirmed that with the NCDOT commitment and agreement to allow prescribed burns there
April 10 2012 Meeting Summary
Page 4 of 11
Reference R 1015 US 70 Havelock Bypass Corridor Selection (CP3 Revisited)
would not be an adverse effect on RCWs NCDOT responded that the commitments to
prescribed burning and bypass closure and the associated no adverse effect would be
clearly stated in the FEIS The group also acknowledged the potential for some small effects
to other T &E species that are currently being studied in technical report updates These
affects if any will be clearly represented in the FEIS
NCDOT noted that updated PETS Species Surveys Including RCWs are being conducted
from April 2012 to September 2012
EPA asked which corridor has the most impact regarding RCWs USFWS responded that
based on the RCW guidelines all three corridors are below the threshold and therefore it is a
no adverse effect for each of the three corridors
Hickman HIII Convenience Center
EPA commented that the project may result in the loss of the only solid waste facility in the
area (the Hickman Hill Convenience Center) EPA asked where citizens will take their trash
if there is not a transfer facility and commented that this is an unresolved issue In the
discussion USFS noted that they had been approached by Havelock to use National Forest
Service lands for a new transfer facility However the USFS has told the city this would not
be an option
NCDOT responded that during right of way acquisition NCDOT will work with Havelock on
purchasing and relocating to a new site but It is up to the city to choose the new site As an
action Item NCDOT is continuing to coordinate with Craven County to ensure that the
County Is aware of the Impact to this facility
US 70 Median Proiect in Havelock
The U S Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE) asked how the recent median construction on
US 70 was currently affecting traffic NCDOT responded that there have been reductions in
left turn movements and that the project was considered a safety improvement
Residential Relocations for Corridor 2
USACE asked about the residential relocation numbers in the impact summary table
specifically that they show Corridor 2 a magnitude higher than Corridors 1 or 3 for
relocations
NCDOT responded that the estimated relocations were based on preliminary plans and right
of way relocation reports The group added that there was a HUD apartment complex on
Lake Road accounting for many of the 133 relocations on Corridor 2 The apartment
complex is shown in the footprint of the proposed Interchange and indicated on the relocation
reports in the DEIS USACE asked if the relocations at the proposed Lake Road interchange
could be minimized
Comments from Corridor Public Hearing
A summary of the December 6 2011 public hearing comments was presented to the team
The summary provided statistics of the written and verbal comments Of the 37 written and
21 verbal comments roughly half of the input opposed the project and /or supported study of
an Improve Existing Alternative It was pointed out that this feedback is consistent with other
Sta[I C regional projects where locally Impacted residents are not necessarily the beneficiaries of the
intended regional travel benefits

Reference R 1015 US 70 Havelock Bypass Corridor Selection (CP3 Revisited)
It was noted that an NCDOT project to Install medians on US 70 had gotten underway dust
prior to the hearing Many citizens were unhappy with the median project and that
sentiment was carried Into the Havelock Bypass Hearing
EPA asked If the citizen comments opposing the project seemed to mostly be based on
environmental effects or on effects to existing businesses and properties NCDOT
responded that most of the comments verbalized seemed to be based on effects to
businesses and properties

Corridor Selection Discussion
After presenting the comparison of Impacts for each alternative NCDOT asked If the
team concurred with reaffirmation of Corridor 3 as LEDPA Reasons for recommending
Corridor 3 as LEDPA are listed below
Corridor 3 provides
• 2nd lowest number of relocations
• Lowest stream Impacts
• 2nd lowest prime farmland Impacts
• 2nd shortest project length
• Best compromise between Impacts to the Croatan National Forest and Town of
Havelock
• Lowest cost
The following Items were discussed In relation to the selection of LEDPA
The N C Division of Water Quality (DWQ) noted that Corridor 3 has the highest wetland
impacts and that although the reasons for selecting it as LEDPA were understood asked if
further reduction of wetland impacts could be considered NCDOT noted that Corridor 3 was
recommended as a compromise between Corridors 1 and 2 (Corridor 1 has greater impacts
to USFS lands and Corridor 2 has greater relocation impacts)
EPA pointed out that the Impacts table Indicates that Corridor 1 has the least Impacts and
could be considered LEDPA The U S Forest Service (USFS) responded that Corridor 1
would have greater effect on RCWs because it would make prescribed burning extremely
difficult it would make it more difficult to manage RCW clusters and would make it difficult to
access and manage lands USFWS reinforced that Corridor 1 would make it more difficult to
manage RCW clusters due to the lack of road access
WRC stated concurrence with Corridor 3 as LEDPA noting that indirect and cumulative
effects and fragmentation are higher with Corridor 1 EPA suggested that the Impacts table
should attempt to capture some of the decision making features such as habitat
fragmentation so that the LEDPA decision is more clearly presented in the FEIS DWQ also
commented that it would be important to carefully document these other LEDPA decision
factors in the FEIS
NCDOT noted that the results of the latest PETS studies still support recommendation of
Corridor 3 as LEDPA and that these recommendations have been documented In
correspondence EPA asked If any of the updated studies changed the decision factors
SnC regarding LEDPA NCDOT confirmed that none of the updated studies changed the
recommendations
The USACE reminded the group that the proposed bridge lengths for the project are
inconsistently reported between the DEIS and the Concurrence Point 4B recommendations

April 10 2012 Meeting Summary
Page 7 of 11
Reference R 1015 US 70 Havelock Bypass Corridor Selection (CP3 Revisited)
NCDOT acknowledged the Inconsistent documentation of lengths and responded that the
bridge lengths will be reviewed and follow up coordination will be conducted with the
Interagency Team
The group discussed the need to create a new concurrence form But It was decided that
since the current form had not been rescinded and the recommendation for LEDPA was
unchanged there was no need for a revised form FHWA confirmed that the current CP3
Concurrence Form was still valid and that the minutes of this meeting would be sufficient to
verify the previous LEDPA decision
Concurrence Decision
Team members representing the following agencies at this April 10 2012 meeting verbally
reaffirmed and reached concurrence on Corridor 3 as the Least Environmentally Damaging
Practicable Alternative (LEDPA)
• Federal Highway Administration
• US Army Corps of Engineers
• US Fish and Wildlife Service
• NC Wildlife Resources Commission
• US Forest Service
• NC Department of Transportation
Corridor 3 was selected for the following reasons
2nd Lowest number of relocations
Lowest stream impacts
• 2nd lowest prime farmland impacts
• 2nd shortest project length
• Lowest cost
Minimizes fragmentation of Red cockaded Woodpecker habitat
The EPA abstained from concurrence stating that no significant updates regarding the
previous LEDPA decision had occurred and that more clarity Is needed In the documentation
of the decision factors EPA did not state any opposition to the recommendation of Corridor
3 as LEDPA
Summary of Action Items
The following items discussed at the meeting warranted further action or follow up An
update on the resolution or continuing efforts for each of these action items is described in
the next section
• The EPA requested further clarification on the details of the traffic analysis
• The USFWS requested that NCDOT s prescribed burn commitments and the associated
No Adverse Effect for RCW need to be better clarified in the FEIS
• The EPA requested further clarification on the relocation of the county waste transfer
facility (Hickman HIII Convenience Center)
• The EPA requested more information regarding stream mitigation for the project
• The group discussed the need to clarify and finalize the proposed bridge lengths
associated with Corridor 3
• The USACE requested further discussion of relocation impacts specifically the higher
estimates for Corridor 2 (how they were estimated opportunities for minimization) as the
project moves forward

update on the resolution of each action Item is presented In italics
Traffic Forecasting & Capacity Analysis
Mr Chris Mllltscher (U S Environmental Protection Agency) requested clarification of the
capacity analysis summary that was presented In the Draft Environmental Impact Statement
and requested more detailed information regarding traffic volumes
Resolution Mr M►I►tscher Mr Darryl Austin ( NCDOT Transportation Planning) Ms
BenJetta Johnson ( NCDOT Congestion Management) and Mr Mark Pierce ( NCDOT
Project Development) met by telephone on May 3 2012 to review the presentation of the
traffic volumes and capacity analysis in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement The
group discussed the no build and build forecasts the traffic forecast diagrams the level of
service tabulation and the anticipated volumes on the proposed bypass Mr Mditscher
requested and Mr Pierce agreed that NCDOT will expand the discussion of the capacity
analysis and the discussion of the benefits of the proposed bypass in the Final
Environmental Impact Statement
Red cockaded Woodpecker
Mr Gary Jordan (U S Fish and Wildlife Service) stated that with prescribed bums there
would not be an adverse effect to the Red cockaded Woodpecker species and formal
Section 7 consultation would not be needed However Mr Jordan requested that the
discussions regarding impacts to RCWs need to be documented more clearly In the Final
Environmental Impact Statement
Resolution NCDOT is preparing an update of the RCW Analysis that will be documented
and submitted to the resource agencies during late 2012 or early 2013 and included ►n
the Final Environmental Impact Statement NCDOT will clarify the RCW discussions to be
Included in the Final Environmental Impact Statement and will continue coordination with
USFWS on this Issue
Hickman HIII Convenience Center
Mr Chris Mllltscher (U S Environmental Protection Agency) requested that NCDOT
coordinate further with Craven County to ensure that the waste transfer station (Hickman HIII
Convenience Center) can be relocated prior to construction of this project
Resolution On May 22 2012 Mr Mark Pierce ( NCDOT Project Development) and Mr
Rusty Cotton (Director of the Craven County Department of Solid Waste & Recycling)
spoke by telephone regarding the proposed bypass project with respect to the waste
transfer station (Hickman HIII Convenience Center) and the closed landfill Immediately
adjacent to the transfer station Mr Pierce summanzed the telephone conversation via an
e mail to Mr Cotton on May 22 2012 Mr Pierce also provided Mr Cotton with a link to
the Public Heanng Map and a graphic showing the bypass corridors parcels owned by
the U S Forest Service and other parcels In Township 6 of Havelock
Mr Pierce called Mr Cotton on July 11 2012 to follow up on the County review of the
mapping and Information a mailed to him on May 22 2012 Mr Cotton said that Craven
StanteC County is aware that the bypass will affect the convenience center and will require
relocation of the facility Mr Cotton also said that the County is reviewing their options for
relocation of the facility to private lands NCDOT will continue dialog with Craven County
on relocation of the Hickman Hill Convenience Center dung the Right of Way Acquisition
Process which ►s currently scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2014

Stream Mitigation
Mr Chris Mllltscher (U S Environmental Protection Agency) Inquired about mitigation for
stream impacts Mr Mark Pierce ( NCDOT Project Development) responded that the
Croatan Wetland Mitigation Bank provided mitigation for wetland Impacts stream impacts
and habitat fragmentation
Resolution Mr Pierce further responded to this Issue via the an a mall to Mr Mil►tscher
on April 30 2012 Including a copy of the Croatan Mitigation Bank Addendum to the
NCDOT UMBI (May 2009) Pages 9 and 10 describe the determination of credits
Approximately 140 acres of rivenne wetlands have been classified as npanan headwater
stream mitigation which resulted in almost 61 000 linear feet of stream or approximately
34 700 credits Mr Mil►tscher reviewed this Information and determined that stream
mitigation issues have been addressed as noted In an e mail dated May 1 2012
Bridge Lengths
During a telephone conversation with Mr Mark Pierce ( NCDOT Project Development) on
December 1 2011 Mr Tom Steffens (U S Army Corps of Engineers) noted a discrepancy in
the bridge lengths listed In the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (September 6 2011)
as compared with the bridge lengths presented In the minutes from the Avoidance &
Minimization (CP4B) Concurrence Meeting (June 20 2002) Mr Steffens also documented
his comment on the bridge lengths In a December 2 2011 letter Including this and other
formal comments by the U S Army Corps of Engineers on the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement which were discussed during this meeting
Resolution The NCDOT Hydraulics Unit reviewed their files including the original Bndge
Survey Reports and meeting minutes They concluded that the badge length for the
Southwest Prong of Slocum Creek was Incorrectly stated at the CP4B Meeting as 899
feet rather than 925 feet After review of the East Prong of Slocum Creek they noted that
the approximate length of 1 476 feet was for a skewed crossing and that the adjusted
perpendicular length is 1 618 feet Therefore NCDOT is now recommending the
following for the three major crossings and requests that the Interagency Merger Process
Team offer their comments or concurrence An a mall dated July 17 2012 was sent to
the Interagency Merger Process Team providing more details on the budging decisions
summary and revised recommendations

Southwest Prong of Slocum Creek 925 foot Bndge
East Prong of Slocum Creek 16 16 foot Bndge
Corridor 2 Relocations
Mr Scott McLendon (U S Army Corps of Engineers) and Mr Tom Steffens (U S Army
Corps of Engineers) requested that NCDOT review the relocations for Corridor 2 since they
are much higher than Corridors 1 and 3 In particular Mr McLendon and Mr Steffens
requested that NCDOT review the type and location of the Lake Road Interchange to
determine whether shifting to the east or west would reduce the number of relocations for
Corridor 2
Resolution Mr Steffens Mr Robert Woodard ( NCDOT Right of Way Branch) Mr Fred
StaflteC Barkley ( NCDOT Right of Way Branch) and Mr Mark Pierce ( NCDOT Project
Development) met ►n the Transportation Building In Raleigh on May 9 2012 to discuss
types of interchanges that could be utilized at Lake Road and Corridor 2 Shifting the
interchange to the east or west to further minimize residential relocations in that vicinity
was also reviewed As discussed during the meeting the location of Corridor 2 was
April 10 2012 Meeting Summary

Reference R 1015 US 70 Havelock Bypass Corridor Selection (CP3 Revisited)
selected to hug the western limits of Havelock In order to minimize impacts to the
Croatan National Forest and In particular RCW Cluster 902 Therefore numerous multi
family dwellings located on Lake Road would be directly affected We also discussed that
NCDOT had previously studied a diamond interchange a compressed diamond
Interchange and a half clover interchange to minimize relocations In this vicinity and
previously studied shifting the interchange eastward or westward to minimize relocations
NCDOT concluded that the Interchange could not be shifted enough eastward or
westward to avoid Impacts to the multi family dwellings Mr Pierce summarized the
May 9 2012 meeting via an e mall to Mr Steffens on May 23 2012
