RE: Camp LeJeune URBAN CAS ProjectJNationwide Permit 38 Preconstruction
Notification
Deaz Mr. Shaver:
Bristol Construction Services, LLC (Bristol), is under contract to the U.S. Marine Corps to
remove range residue, unexploded ordnance (UXO) and explosives, and scrap at Camp LeJeune,
North Carolina, under a project titled URBAN Close Air Support (CAS). The project azea
includes wetlands, and will require approval for a Nationwide Permit 38 for the Cleanup of
Hazardous and Tozic Wastes. This letter serves as the Preconstruction Notification for this
project.

Location of Proposed Project: Camp LeJeune, North Cazolina (Figures 1 and 2).
Camp LeJeune is a U.S. Marine Corps Base, located in the southeastern coastal plain of North
Carolina, in Onslow County, approximately 120 miles east of Raleigh and 50 miles north of
Wilmington, near Jacksonville.
The project boundary is within the greater G-10 Impact Area and titled Urban CAS, an azea of
approximately 22 acres. URBAN CAS is a generally flat sandy azea with minimal grass and
herbaceous vegetation. The area has been extensively impacted from explosives and is densely

littered with unexploded ordnance (UXO). See photographs in Appendix A. The Urban CAS
area contains approximately 14.5 acres of wetlands for about 68 percent of the area (Figure 3).
Description of the Proposed Project:
The proposed project will remove range residue, UXO and explosives, and scrap from the
surface, down to a depth of approximately 2 - 4 feet. The range residue will be inspected,
classified and segregated, and all energetic items will be properly disposed of; range residue will
be processed and demilitarized as required to ensure compliance with U.S. Department of
Defense (4160.21M-1), and to permit direct consumption/recycling by an authorized metals
recycler; recovered hazardous wastes (explosives related) will be manifested, transported, and
disposed of at an approved Treatment, Storage, Disposal Facility and nonhazardous waste will be
disposed of at an approved Class 3 Landfill.
Operations will be scheduled from Friday through Monday to avoid conflict with range
activities. The construction work will be conducted in four-day increments, utilizing the
construction sequencing approach to minimize erosion potential. This approach will reduce the
erosion and sedimentation occurring at the site since only a portion of the total site will be
worked on at a time. On the last day of construction work, the work area will be leveled and
covered with the cleaned, excavated material to facilitate the use of the range on Tuesday
morning. Ultimately, the area will be reseeded with grass to further reduce erosion potential.
The work in URBAN CAS is estimated to require 67 work days to complete the project.
URBAN CAS is divided into two major sites: 1) the URBAN CAS Main Site, which comprises
approximately 8 acres, and 2) the URBAN CAS Second Site, which comprises approximately 14
acres. The work sequence will follow the "Dig and Cover" method following a grid pattern,
which will significantly reduce the amount of time that the soils are exposed to erosion
processes. Once the surface debris and UXO have been cleared, additional soil will be removed
in one-foot lifts. The Main Site area will be excavated to a total depth of 4 feet. The Second Site
area will be excavated to a total depth of 2 feet. Each excavation will be systematically refilled,
returned to original grade, and reseeded.
An overgrown dirt road is located in the URBAN CAS Range, with a total area of approximately
2.66 acres. Metallic debris and UXO will also be removed from the road area.
Surface UXO:
• Walking through the area and removing metal debris and UXO by hand;
Walking through the area, a metal detector will pass over the surface to locate metal and
UXO laying just under the surface; and
Metal and UXO located by the metal detector is removed by hand shovel or by using an
excavator at the specific point of location.

UXO Excavation:
• In some areas, minor depressions have been created by firing activities at the range.
During rain events, these depressions have a tendency to fill with water, which will need
to be drained prior to debris and UXO clearance activities commencing. This standing
water will be removed from depressions using a pump and hose extending 50' - 100'
away from the work site. A diffuser will be installed at the end of the hose in order to
disperse the water uniformly. This is expected to occur primarily in the URBAN CAS
Main Site; little to no water-filled depressions are known to occur at URBAN CAS
Second Site, or in ranges G-8 and G-9.
• Soils will be excavated in a series of lifts 6 - 12 inches following an approximate 100' x
100' grid pattern.
• A 100' x 100' area will be excavated until metal detection instruments indicate no
remaining metal in soil and then stop. Four feet is the deepest excavation anticipated.
• Excavated material will be placed in a temporary/interim feed stockpile for a period of no
more than one week.
• Excavated soil will be run through a trommel to separate the UXO from the soil.
• Sifted soil will be used to refill the excavation area. Soil will be spread evenly over the
land surface to return it to the approximate original grade.
• The excavated area will be reseeded.
• Repeat the process throughout the area.
See Figure 4, UXO Clearance Excavation Plan.
Project Purpose: The purpose of the project is to make the URBAN CAS area safe for the
installation of new targets suited for the current training requirements of the U.S. Marines. This
includes:
• The removal of UXO from URBAN CAS (22 acres); and
• Eventually, the U.S. Marine Corps will install sea containers for use as targets in this
area. This activity has not yet been awarded to a contractor or fully designed, and is,
therefore, not included in this permit modification. The contractor who wins the award
for this part of the project will apply for permits as needed.
Environmental Effects: Environmental effects will be minimal. There is minimal vegetation
present at the site to be disturbed. It is primarily impacted sandy soils. The area is being refilled,
regraded, and revegetated once the ordnances are removed from the site.
The following erosion and sedimentation best management practices, and control measures and
devices, will be used on this project:

• UXO excavation will be done in a 100 m x 100 m grid pattern to minimize the area of
disturbance at any one point in time;
• Each grid section will be refilled to original grade before excavation of the next grid
section;
• The overall project site will be graded in preparation for future construction plans (to be
addressed under separate permit when the work contract is awarded); and
• The area will be reseeded as quickly as practicable, and within a maximum of 21 days
after final contouring, to encourage reestablishment of ground cover to minimize erosion.
Delineations: The project area has been used as a target impact area for over 50 years. The area
is highly impacted and strewn with missiles, hand grenades, bombs, and other munitions,
including UXOs. For this reason, it is unsafe to conduct delineations within this area. The
National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) and National Cooperative Soil Survey have been used to
determine the presence of wetlands in this area. Field observations indicate that the actual
jurisdictional wetlands in the area are significantly less than indicated in the NWI. However, the
more conservative acreage delineated by the NWI and soils map will be used in lieu of an on-site
delineation because of the safety issues mentioned above. See Figures 3 and 5 and photographs
in Appendix A.
Endangered or Threatened Species: Camp LeJeune is home to the federally listed endangered
red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis). Urban CAS is a previously cleared area and is not
affected by the Camp LeJeune Endangered Species Management Plan.
Historic Properties: There are no historic properties in this area. The project area has been
heavily impacted by missile and bombing activity for over 50 years. See photographs in
Appendix A.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs maybe included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Impacts will be temporary.
The area will be excavated in 100 m blocks, the range debris will be removed, and the fill
replaced and reseeded. Each block will only be disturbed fora 4 - 5 days. The entire
project will be done in approximately 65 days.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The project is the removal of hazardous materials (unexploded ordnance -hand
grenades, missiles, and bombs) which are scattered throughout the entire area, including
all wetlands within the area. Impacts are minimized through a phased excavation in 100 m
blocks that are refilled within approximately 4-5 days in order to minimize the area and
duration of disturbance at any one time. The entire area will be revegetated.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USAGE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USAGE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm ~ide.html.

2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at httpa/h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
1. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of
public (federal/state) land? Yes ® No ^
2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ^ No
3. If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please
attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ^ No ^
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
Page 7 of 9

and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC
2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify )? Yes ^ No
2. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.
If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the
buffer multipliers.

* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
3. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e.,
Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration /Enhancement, or Payment into the
Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified
within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss
Stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from
the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations
demonstrating total proposed impervious level. There are no impervious surfaces presently
or proposed at this site. Small amounts of water may need to be pumped out of bomb
impact pits -this water will be discharged to the surrounding area through a diffuser to
minimize runoff. All runoff will be absorbed into the surrounding soils. There is no
nearby waterbody.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.

XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ^ No
Is this anafter-the-fact permit application? Yes ^ No
XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ^ No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description:
The proiect may be followed up with the installation of sea containers as targets suited to
meet the current training requirements of the Marine Corns. The continuation of the
practice of using various obiects at this site for target practice is not anticipated to
impacted any waterbodies.
XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
