RE: NWP 27 Application: Brice Creek Mitigation Bank
Craven County, NC
Dear Mr. Bland:
6
D8- (a•35
Enclosed is a NWP 27 application for your review. This application is submitted on
behalf of Weyerhaeuser NR Company for a 645 -acre tract located in Craven County, NC. The
applicant is proposing to plug and backfill 6.67 acres of existing jurisdictional ditches on site in
order to restore and enhance wetlands and develop a larg- e =scale wetland mitigation bank in the
Cape Fear 03030005 basin.
The Pre - Construction Notification form, associated maps, and site plan are enclosed for
your review. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for your assistance with
this project.
Si c rely,
Kim Williams

3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
A majority of the site has been managed for silvicultural production. Land use in surrounding area is comprised of low-
density residential home -sites and pine plantations.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
166 acres
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
No natural stream systems exist within the property.
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of this project is to develop a large -scale wetland mitigation bank in the Neuse River 03020204 basin. This
site totals 645 acres of non - riparian wetland restoration and enhancement. Site work will be initiated with planting of the
site during January and February of 2013. Implementation of earthwork will be initiated subsequent to receipt of applicable
state and federal authorizations. Construction will be completed by the end of the first growing season (i.e. by November 30,
2013).
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The applicant seeks to initiate the restoration activities as proposed in the August 2012 Mitigation Plan. These include
the backfilling and /or plugging of ditches with fine material obtained from the site and removal of a portion of roadbeds within
the site. Excavators, bulldozers, and a dump truck will be used for the proposed activities.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Proposed impacts are unavoidable due to the type of project proposed. In order to restore and enhance non - riverine
wetlands formerly occurring on the property (via hydrologic restoration), the identified canals /ditches must be plugged
and /or filled. Little to no in- stream habitat has developed within the ditches and canals within the property and an overall
benefit to downstream water quality is expected as a result of project implementation.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Locations of the proposed backfill and plugs were selected based on the existing drainage network. Sediment and
erosion control plans will be prepared and submitted for each section of the project. The protective measures detailed in
these plans will eliminate discharge of sediments to off -site water bodies. No earthwork will be conducted until receipt of
approval of the erosion and sediment control plan by the NC Division of Land Resources.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for
impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
❑ Yes ® No
2b. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply):
❑ DWQ ❑ Corps
2c. If yes, which mitigation option will be used for this
project?

5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act
❑ Yes ® No
impacts?
❑ Raleigh
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.

5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
The NC Natural Heritage Program GIS layer was used to determine the presence of federally listed species. No rare species
are known to occur within the project site, but three rare animal species have been noted within a one mile radius of the site.
The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus; federally protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act) has been
noted south of the site within the Croatan National Forest. The glossy crayfish snake (Regina rigida; state - listed as
Significantly Rare) has documented occurrences within the Croatan National Forest. The black- throated green warbler
(Dendroica virens waynei) has also been documented in the vicinity of tract. The proposed project would not adversely affect
these species.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat?
❑ Yes ® No

Site does not contain estuarine habitat that would be suitable for federally- managed species.
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation
❑ Yes ® No
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
The NC State Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS mapping resource was used to determine the presence of
cultural or historic resources. No cultural or historical resources were noted within the site.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA - designated 100 -year floodplain?
❑ Yes ® No
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements:
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination? The NC Floodplain Mapping Information System
website was used to determine the boundaries of the 100 -year floodplain.
