Total stream and tributary impacts Temporary 25' 3i. Comments: NCDOT requests a waiver to widen the existing stream channel to match the width of the proposed culvert. The width of the culvert was chosen because it is the only size that comes closest to meeting the channel dimensions along with hydraulic requirements for conveyance of water. Page 5 of 11 PCN Form — Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version The length of the culvert was chosen to provide enough shoulder to not require guardrail and to increase the safety at this location. A culvert was also chosen to expedite construction at this location due to the heavy truck traffic from Fountain Quarry. The project is being completed to alleviate safety concerns of truck traffic going through the Town of Fountain due to the current posting on the bridge that does not allow loaded trucks to cross. The proposed culvert is more hydraulically efficient than a bridge at this location and water surface elevations are less for the proposed culvert than the existing and natural water surface elevations for the 10 and 25 year storms, see CSR for quantities. Over the life of the structure, culvert crossings require less maintenance than bridge crossings which translate to the overall cost of the project. 4.

Page 11 of 11 PC Form —Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version The Wiggins Mill Mitigation Site is located in Wilson County, south of the Wiggins Mill Reservoir and southwest of the City of Wilson. It encompasses approximately 89 acres. The site grading was completed in October 2000 and planting in March 2001. The site provided 84 acres of small stream swamp hardwood (1St and 2 ❑d order streams), bottomland hardwood, swamp hardwood, and headwater forest/low elevation seep wetland communities restoration, 5.3 acres of bottomland hardwood enhancement, 7,020 linear feet of stream restoration, and 11.31 acres of buffer restoration. The site successfully completed five years of monitoring in 2005. As shown below, NCDOT has debited 125 linear feet of stream restoration from the Wiggins Mill Mitigation Site to provide compensatory mitigation to offset the 125 linear feet of unavoidable stream impacts associated with the culvert channel improvements over Lang's Mill Run on SR 1232(Allen Gay Road).

REVIEW PERFORMED FOR SITE EVALUATION (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY): ❑ Office (Desk) Determination / Date: ® Field Determination / Date(s): 6/19/13 1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in this instance and at this time. 2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non - reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: F.

Due to the need for a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for this project, you have requested concurrence with these biological conclusions. These comments are provided in accordance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 -1543) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668- 668d). Based on available information, it appears that no suitable habitat occurs in the project vicinity for the American sturgeon, red - cockaded woodpecker, West Indian manatee, and Tar River spinymussel. With the exception of the American sturgeon, we concur with your biological conclusion that the project will have no effect on these species. Since the American sturgeon is under the purview of the National Marine Fisheries Service, that agency must be contacted for concurrence. Also, based on your survey of the project area, no bald eagle nests occur near the project vicinity, and therefore that species will not be affected. The Service does not have any concerns or objections to this project. We believe that the requirements of Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA have been satisfied for those species under our purview. We remind you that obligations under Section 7 consultation must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered in this review; (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by this identified action. If you have any questions regarding our response, please contact Mr. Gary Jordan at (919) 856 -4520 (Ext. 32).
