Project Information and Prior Project History 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project. A permanent incremental increase of Marine Corps personnel is currently underway at Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Lejeune (Base) under the Grow the Force initiative. A force addition of approximately 7,000 marines is proposed at the Base. To support this growth, the USMC is proposing a combination of (1) new infrastructure construction (e.g. buildings, roads, utility lines/equipment); (2) demolition and/or upgrades to existing infrastructure; and (3) relocating existing units and personnel to consolidate and better support combat missions. At the Base, the USMC proposes to expand and replace existing utilities at Hadnot Point and French Creek as a component of these development activities. These utility expansions are to address current deficiencies as well as in support of new facilities that are proposed for construction under Base expansion as documented in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) USMC Grow the Force in North Carolina (December 2009). 3e. Describe the overall project In detail, Including the type of equipment to be used: The project consists of a number of different utility improvements which are described as follows. WATER !rlWTI 17, 9 17. ...ham= A new 12 -inch water main will be installed along JC Smith Road from Gonzalez Boulevard to the intersection of JC Smith Road and 0 Street and approximately 400 feet north of JC Smith Road on Gonzalez Boulevard. The 12 -inch water main will be located along the north side of JC Smith Road. The crossing of Cogdels Creek will be done using horizontal directional drilling to avoid impacts to the creek. This water main connection will provide a connection between the Hadnot Point and the French Creek water distribution systems. Wallace Creek Water Main Relocation There is an existing 12 -inch water main that crosses Wallace Creek on a wooden trestle which parallels the Seth Williams Boulevard Bridge. Two 16 -inch force mains and two 6 -inch telecommunication conduits also share the trestle. The trestle is being demolished and the water main, the force mains, and telecommunication conduits will be relocated off the trestle. The water main and the sewer lines will be relocated under the creek by means of horizontal directional drilling to avoid impacts to the creek. The two telecommunication conduits will be relocated onto the Seth Williams Bridge. Connection of Raw Water Mains There is an existing 18 -inch ductile iron raw water main that extends along McHugh Boulevard from the Building 20 Water Treatment Plant to Sneads Ferry Road that has not been used for several years. Another 30 -inch main parallels Sneads Ferry Road. The 18 -inch main will be placed back into service and connected with the 30 -inch main near the intersection of Sneads Ferry Road and McHugh Boulevard to allow the transmission of raw water to either the Building 20 Water Treatment Plant or to the Building 670 Water Plant There are no wetland impacts associated with this portion of the project AECOM Raw Water Main Replacement The existing 18 -inch raw water main on Holcomb Boulevard is asbestos cement pipe. This pipe will be removed and replaced with a new ductile pipe. The asbestos cement pipe and fittings will be property disposed of at an off -site facility. The pipe will be the same size as the existing pipe and will connect from Building 20 along Holcomb Boulevard to a point near the intersection of Sneads Ferry Road. In addition, the existing 18 -inch raw water main along Holcomb Boulevard between Sneads Ferry Road and Brewster Boulevard will be replaced with a 24 -inch ductile iron water main. The 24- inch line will accommodate the flows for the future mega water plant which will be located near the intersection of Holcomb Boulevard and Sneads Ferry Road. There will be no impacts to wetlands or streams associated with this portion of the project Water Meter Replacement 2 Water flows to and from the housing areas through multiple connections and water usages are not metered, but are estimated'for billing purposes. Past efforts to meter the flows through master meters have not been successful and were eventually abandoned. The existing non - functional meters will be located and replaced with a series of new master meters and an automatic accounting system will be developed that will allow for accurate measurement of water usages. This project will include the installation of 29 water meters that range in size from 5/8 -inch to 8 -inch. There are no wetland impacts associated with this portion of the project SANITARY SEWER The design scope for the Hadnot Point and French Creek Cantonment Area (HP -FC) Sanitary Sewer Collection System is to provide a gravity sewer collection system network that will allow for the abandonment of as many of the existing wastewater lift stations as possible. There are presently 47 lift stations within the two areas. French Creek Collection Svstern and Sewer Services to Area 1700 A network of gravity sewer mains will be constructed throughout the HP -FC Cantonment Area. Lift station 1229 will be replaced with a submersible pump station. Lift stations 590, 635, 745, and SPT3C will receive improvements. A 24 -inch gravity sewer main will be installed along the south side of JC Smith Road connecting PS 590 to PS 315. This new sewer main will cross over Cogdels Creek. A 12 -inch gravity sewer main will be installed in the southwest comer of the French Creek area to connect FC 599 and FC 315. This sewer main will run north from FC 599 between the structures FC573 and FC574 and then follow HM Smith Boulevard to the manhole at FC 315. A new centrally located lift station will be constructed near the intersection of the proposed Gonzalez Boulevard extension and the tank trail. Gravity sewer mains will be installed to connect this area to the rest of the sewer system. Where possible, new gravity sewer mains will be installed using horizontal directional drilling techniques for wetland and stream crossings to minimize impacts to these sensitive resources. Four new gravity mains will connect the new lift station: Gonzalez Boulevard North, Gonzalez Boulevard South, Tank Trail West, and Tank Trail East The Gonzalez Boulevard North sanitary sewer main will parallel the Gonzalez Boulevard extension to the intersection with the Birch Street extension. AECOM 3 The Gonzalez Boulevard South sewer main will parallel the Gonzalez Boulevard extension to the intersection with McHugh Boulevard. This main will collect the wastewater presently flowing to station 116. The gravity main will continue across McHugh Boulevard to the existing pump station 511 behind Building 504. The Tank Trail West sanitary sewer main will parallel the existing tank trail to the west side of Cogdels Creek where it will split to the north and south to receive wastewater from the existing lift stations in this area. Tank Trail East sanitary sewer main will parallel the existing tank trail to the east to receive the wastewater from the existing lift station 148. Lift` Station 590 This station is located at the intersection of O Street and JC Smith Road. Two back -up diesel pumps will be installed at the lift station. The pumps will be free standing and installed outside without a building. A single, dual wall, above ground, diesel fuel storage tank will be provided for the pumps. The pumps will be controlled by way of a high water level float in the wet well. There are no wetland impacts associated with the work at this Lift Station. SPT3C- Wallace Creek Litt Station This station is located on the north side of Parachute Tower Road. A back -up diesel pump will be installed at the lift station. The pump will be free standing and installed outside without a building. A single, dual wall, above ground, diesel fuel tank will be provided. The pump will be controlled by way of a high water level float in the wet well. There are no wetland impacts associated with the work at this Lift Station. Lift Station PS 745, Force Main Replacement This lift station is located on the west side of McHugh Boulevard north of Wallace Creek. The existing Lift Station PS745 consists of two sewage lift stations located on the same site. Pumps at these two stations will be replaced with larger capacity pumps to handle the additional wastewater flow. Two force mains leave the lift stations and cross Wallace Creek on an above - the -water pipe trestle along with a water main. The 12 -inch and 14 -inch force mains will be replaced with two (2) 16 -inch force mains, installed under the creek by way of horizontal directional drilling. The new force mains will follow McHugh Boulevard on the south side of Wallace Creek to the intersection of Birch Street, turn onto Birch Street and then connect to the SPT3C pump station collection system. In addition, these two force mains will be connected to the existing force mains that discharge into the PS 590 collection system. On the north side of Wallace Creek, the new force mains will replace the existing force mains to the pump station. The existing water main will also be relocated under the creek with directional drilling. The trestle will be removed once the pipes have been relocated. Piney Green Ut Station No. 635, Force Main Replacement Due to periodic overflows of the manhole to this station, the pumps at the existing Piney Green Lift Station were recently replaced with pumps having capacities greater than the originals. Although the pump replacement increased the flow capacity from this station, it has not completely eliminated the overflow problem. The existing 6-inch force main will be replaced with an 8 -inch main to further increase the flow from this station. AECOM Lift Station 1229 This lift station is located in the parking lot of the Commissary adjacent to Birch Street The lift station is outdated and will be replaced with a new submersible type station. There are no wetland impacts associated with the replacement of this Lift Station. As described above the project consists of the installation of water lines and wastewater collection systems. Equipment for the installation of the underground utilities will consist primarily of trenching equipment and directional boring equipment Section 4 Jurisdictional Determination Numerous wetland delineations and jurisdictional determinations have been performed within various parts of the project area on the Base. Jurisdictional boundaries of these wetland areas were provided to AECOM for inclusion on the Design Plans for planning, design, avoidance and minimization. The following wetland jurisdictional determinations were utilized for this project • The wetlands associated with the Cogdels Creek drainage north of McHugh Blvd. were delineated by Tetra Tech in 2010 and a Jurisdictional Determination was issued by the USACE on March 24, 2011 (Action Id. SAW-2010-01798). • The wetlands associated with the Cogdels Creek drainage south of McHugh Blvd. were delineated by Tetra Tech in 2010. A draft JD package was submitted to the USACE in April 2011 and is currently awaiting approval by the USACE. • Wetlands to the north of Wallace Creek and along the west edge of Holcombe Blvd. were delineated by GeoMarine in 2008 and a -JD was issued by the USACE on June 4, 2008 (Action Id. 2008 900). • Wetlands to the south of Wallace Creek and along the west edge of Holcombe Blvd. were delineated by GeoMarine in 2007 and a JD was issued by the USACE on October 22, 2007 (Action Id. 2007 - 3406 -067).

Comments Wetlands with no impacts shown for documentation of avoidance and minimization. Permanent wetland impacts are based upon a 10 foot maintained cleared utility easement. In most areas the wetlands while impacted by the removal of vegetation will remain jurisdictional areas following installation of the utility. Temporary impacts are based on a 30 -foot construction easement Temporary impacts will consist of hand/mechanical clearing necessary to allow for access of construction equipment AECOM Wetland 9 and 10 — There will be no impacts due to horizontal directional drilling of these wetlands. Wetland 14 — Temporary impacts from the removal and demolition of existing pump station. Wetland 20 — Impacts will be from clearing brush for aerial crossing. D. Impact Avoidance and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measure taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project All minimization efforts described below. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed Impacts through construction techniques. Directional drilling has been specified where possible for the installation of utility lines through wetlands or across streams. This includes Wallace Creek at Wetland 3 (Sheet CU120), Un -named Tributary at Wetland 6 (Sheet CU123), Wetlands 9, 10, and Wallace Creek (Sheet CU138), Wetland 18 (Sheet CU171). Installation of water line adjacent to proposed Gonzalez Road extension bridge will be by directional drilling. 6 Installation of the gravity sewer on the west side of the proposed Gonzalez Road extension bridge was designed to be as close to the bridge as practicable and within the same fiootprint at the proposed work bridge. Therefore, hand clearing required for the gravity sewer installation would also be required for the work bridge. The water line installed along Holcombe Blvd. was designed to avoid wetland areas by keeping it within the cleared upland right -of -way. Silt fence will be placed between all construction areas and wetlands to prevent impacts from construction activities. E. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan Installation of the utility lines will occur under a General Stormwater Permit F. Supplementary Information 5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat Federally Listed Species Potentially Occurring at MCB Camp Lejeune AECOM Common Name Scientific Name Status Leatherback sea turtle Dermochelys coriacea Endangered Loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta Threatened Green sea turtle Chelonia mydas Threatened Piping plover Charedrius meladus Threatened Red - cockaded woodpecker Picoides borealis Endangered Seabeach amaranth Amaranthus pumila Threatened Rough - leaved loosestrife Lysimachia asperulaefolia Endangered American alligator' Alligator mississippiensis Threatened Although still listed as federally threatened the American alligator is considered recovered Source: MCB Camp Lejeune 2007x. While several Endangered Species are known to occur at Camp Lejeune, suitable habitat for those species are not present in the project area. Extensive surveys for various federally - listed species have occurred on the Base. The Base GIS data did not indicate any know occurrences of any threatened or endangered species in or near the various utility corridors. Surveys of these areas by AECOM biologists did not reveal any suitable habitat for any species. 6. Essential Fish Habitat 7 Wallace Creek at Seth Williams Blvd. (where the trestle is to be removed when the sewer and water lines are installed beneath the creek) is designated Essential Fish Habitat — Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (EFH -HAPC) for shrimp. Coastal inlets are given this designation because they are judged to be particularly important to the long term productivity of shrimp. In addition, Wallace Creek to the west of the utility crossing location is designated EFH -HAPC for snapper and grouper. Temporary impacts to Wallace Creek may occur as a result of the removal of the existing aboveground water and sewer lines and the associated wooden trestle. Installation of the new force main and water lines will be by horizontal directional drilling beneath the creek bed, thereby eliminating any permanent impacts to the Essential Fish Habitat 7. Wetland Restoration Plan Wetland areas disturbed during installation of the utility lines will be restored. Topsoil will be replaced on all disturbed areas and the areas returned to their original grade. The wetland areas will be seeded with a permanent wetland seed mix as follows: Species Agrostis stolonifere Carex vulpinoidea EJymus virginicus Helenium autumnale Iris versicolor Desmodium canader Rudbeckfa hirta Verbena hastata Common Name Creeping bentgrass Fox sedge Virginia wild rye Sneezeweed Blue flag se Showy tick trefoil Black -eyed susan Blue vervain Recommended application rate: 20 -25 lbs. per acre Percent 28 23 28 4 5 4 4 4 AECOM A substitute seed mix may be utilized with the approval of Base Environmental personnel.
