NCDOT Contract C2O4177
US 70 Havelock Bypass Project
Reference: Submittal 5-20001021-075 Weyerhaeuser Zone 5 Borrow Pit Reclamation
Subject: Plan for Development of a Borrow and Waste Site at the Weyerhaeuser NR Company Property
off the NCDOT ROW on the Havelock Bypass Project(C204177) in Craven County
Based on the attached documentation,the Balfour Beatty (BB) plans to develop the Weyerhaeuser NR
Company Property in Craven County into a Pond per NCDOT Specifications.
1. The mines will be excavated as described in the Reclamation Plan (Borrow) Site.
2. While this site is being developed, material that is deemed unsuitable (either organics or
undercut) will be hauled to and stored temporarily in stockpiles on the Weyerhaeuser NR
Company Site.
3. Once the bottom of pond is reached, BB will fill the borrow pit slopes back in with this
previously stockpiled material along the pit slopes or pit bottom to its final pond elevations
(See Plan for Details of the"temporary pond"). BB will ensure that the backfill material is
placed to ensure uniform slopes and a reasonably flat bottom.The backfill material will be
soil only.
4. The final bottom of pond will be 4 feet in water depth or greater per the standard minimum
depth given by NCDOT(See Plan for Details of the "bottom of pond").
5. Final grading will then take place with permanent seeding operations, etc. as is required by
NCDOT Standard Specification. This includes the 1 year maintenance/monitoring period.
Additional Notes
- Permanent Seeding operations will take place on the pond slopes after the slopes have been
graded for a permanent condition. Materials left in stockpiles undisturbed will be Temporary
Seeded and Mulched. In addition, where there are exposed erodible slopes with area greater
than 1 acre posing any threat of turbidity loss off the site, seeding will be performed per NCDOT
Standards and Project Special Provisions. (See the attached seeding specifications)
- The dewatering basin to be utilized during borrow excavation and has been designed to handle
maximum flow of 1000 GPM. (See attached Dewatering Basin Design Calculations)
- The dewatering pump will be set to float and pump from the surface of the water. The pump
discharge will be set up as shown in the attached detail.
- Using the SKAGGS method, 2 offsets from the adjacent wetlands were determined:
44.8 Ft. Offset/Setback for the section labeled Bayboro Mucky Loam (Ba) and 17.4 Ft.
Offset/Setback for the section labeled Leaf Silt Loam (La). With that in mind a field survey will be
conducted to determine this buffer.This will be staked in the field to ensure the minimum offset
of 50.0 Ft. from excavation to wetlands as is required.

Wilmington, NC 28403
Reference: Environmental Evaluation
US-70 (Havelock Bypass) TIP Project R-1015
Weyerhaeuser: Zone 5 Tract
Dear Mr. Sommer,
A site investigation has been conducted for the above referenced property, located south
of Hickman Hill Loop Road in Craven County, North Carolina (Figure 1). The purpose of this
investigation was to determine the presence or absence of sensitive environmental resources at
the candidate site (Figure 2). A site investigation and records review was conducted to
determine the presence or absence of wetlands, surface waters (streams, lakes or ponds),
regulated riparian buffers, and federally protected species. This report has been prepared in
accordance with the NCDOT `Borrow and Waste Site Reclamation Plan Procedures".
METHODOLOGY
This evaluation included a site investigation and review of public records for the subject
property and its immediate vicinity. The records review included aerial photographs, United
States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Environmental Conservation Online System, United
States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) soil survey, North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP), Google Earth,
and Craven County GIS.
The site investigation was accomplished by direct examination of the physical attributes
of the site and soil auger borings taken at various points across the site. The project boundaries
were walked and several traverses were conducted across the interior of the site. The site
investigation also included suspected wetland areas within 400 feet of the proposed pits.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The project area is located within the Atlantic Coastal Plain physiographic region of
North Carolina. The USGS topographic map, Havelock Quadrangle (Figure 3), shows the site is
relatively Flat, with an average elevation of approximately 30 feet above mean sea level, and
drains toward the southeast. The site is in the Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station-Slocum
Creek subwatershed (USGS 03020204-0502) in the Neuse River Basin. Center coordinates are
34.910596 latitude and -76.954320 longitude.
Soil Science lmesti_ations • Wetland Delineations, Permitting, and Consulting
HAL OWEN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
The nearest named water body to the site is Sandy Run which has a North Carolina
surface water classification of SC;Sw,NSW. There are no designated anadromous fish waters or
Primary Nursery Areas (PNA) present in the study area. There are no Outstanding Resource
Waters (ORW), High Quality Waters (HQW), water supply watersheds (WS-I or WS-Il), or
Class SA Waters within 1 mile of the project study area or within 1 mile downstream.
Geology of the area is mapped Yorktown Formation and Duplin Formation, Undivided.
The Yorktown Formation is described as fossiliferous clay with varying amounts of fine-grained
sand, bluish gray, shell material commonly concentrated in lenses; mainly in area north of Neuse
River. The Duplin Formation is described as shelly, medium- to coarse-grained sand, sandy marl,
and limestone, bluish gray; mainly in area south of Neuse River.
The NRCS Soil Survey indicates the site contains soils of the Bayboro series and the Leaf
series (Figure 4). Both soil series are classified as hydric soils. Observations at the site
confirmed the presence of the Leaf series in the area of the proposed pits.
The borrow pit site was recently timbered and there is no overstory vegetation and few
herbs and shrubs remain. Land use in the vicinity is forested.
JURISDICTIONAL SURFACE WATERS AND WETLANDS INVESTIGATION
All wetland determinations were made in accordance with the Regional Supplement to
the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region.
This report represents my professional opinion as a Licensed Soil Scientist but does not represent
concurrence by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) or the NC Division of Water
Resources (NCDWR).
Areas that clearly meet the required criteria for jurisdictional wetlands were observed
within 400 feet of the proposed pits. The boundaries of the wetland areas were delineated on the
ground and are approximately shown at Figure 5. A set of Wetland Determination Data Forms
were collected are attached to this report.
Within the uplands, the dark sandy surface layers were typically limited to ten inches
below surface and were not particularly high in organic matter. The subsoils were also sandy
with two to three chroma matrix colors and common redoximorphic features. Wetland
hydrology appears to be missing throughout most of the site. Auger borings conducted among
the tree rows exhibited an apparent water table between 15 and 24 inches during the wetter
periods this spring, and at greater than 30 inches during the dryer summer months. Prior to being
timbered, vegetation was observed to be dominated by Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) in the
overstory, Sweetgum (Liquidambar strracajlua) and Red maple (Ater rubrum) in the understory,
and Bracken Fem (Pteridium aquilinuni) in the herbaceous layer.
Soil Science Investigations • Wetland Delineations, Permitting, and Consulting
HAL OWEN & ASSOCIATES, INC.
Within the wetlands, the dark sandy surface layers typically extended to greater than 20
inches below surface (Indicator S7). Wetland hydrology indicators included soil saturation
within 12 inches of the soil surface (A3), water stained leaves (139), and sparsely vegetated
concave surface (B8). Vegetation was dominated by hydrophytic species including Red maple
(Acer rubrum), Sweetgum (Liquidainbar styracaflua), and Loblolly pine (Pines taeda) in the
overstory; Inkberry (flex glabra), Fetterbush (Lyonia hicida), and Horse sugar (symplocos
tinctoria) in the understory; and Cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea), Netted chain fern
(Woodwardia areolata), and greenbrier (Smilax spp) in the herbaceous layer.
LATERAL EFFECT ANALYSIS
Regulated wetlands were noted within 400 feet of the proposed pit boundary and
excavation will occur below the water table. The wetland areas were observed to be depressions
within a flat landscape, and it was difficult to visually determine if this would be a Type 2 pit.
The minimum setback distance is 25 feet from wetlands and 50 feet from streams.
If on-site topographic data shows the wetlands are at or upslope of the expected
equilibrium water level of the pit, then a lateral effect analysis using the Skaggs Method should
be conducted. Due to past silviculture practices, the surface depressional storage of water at the
site was observed to be high (2 inches). Published hydraulic conductivity data for the Leaf soil
series would be appropriate for use in the analysis.
RIPARIAN BUFFERS
The candidate site is located in the Neuse River Basin. Riparian zones adjacent to
streams documented by the NRCS soil survey or USGS 7.5 Minute series topographic map are
subject to the state riparian buffer protection program (15A NCAC 2B). The Craven County Soil
Survey and the USGS topographic map do not show streams in the vicinity of the candidate site.
Project disturbances will not occur within regulatory riparian buffers.
THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
Federally listed Endangered and Threatened species are protected under the provisions of
the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. In addition, the American Bald Eagle
(Haliaeetus leucocephalus) has federal protection status through the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (BGPA).
As of 3 September 2020 the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
Environmental Conservation Online System lists 10 federally protected species that may occur in
the proposed project area and/or may be affected by the proposed project (Table 1). A brief
description of each species' habitat requirements follows, along with the Biological Conclusion
rendered based on survey results in the study area. Habitat requirements for each species are
based on the current best available information from referenced literature and/or USFWS.

The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Data Explorer was accessed on
3 September 2020 for known occurrences of federally protected species within I mile of study
area. NCNHP records indicate one known occurrences within search area. The occurrence is for
the Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Picoides borealis).

P_-Proposed C-Candidate
Aeschynomene virginica (Sensitive Joint-vetch)
• Habitat: Sensitive Joint-vetch is an annual plant in the pea family that flowers from July
through September. It typically grows in the intertidal zone of coastal marshes where plants
are flooded twice daily. It is frequently found in the estuarine meander zone of tidal rivers
where sediments transported from upriver settle out and extensive marshes are formed. Bare
to sparsely vegetated substrates appear to be a habitat feature of critical importance to this
plant. In North Carolina, Sensitive joint-vetch is most often found in roadside ditches, often
with some connection to nearby brackish marshes.
(httt s://www.fws. ovg /raleiyh/si)ecies/es sensitive ioint-vetch.html)
• Biological Conclusion: No Effect. No suitable habitat present in the project area. The site
was previously forestland that has been timbered by the landowner. A review of the NCNHP
records indicates no known occurrence within 1 mile of the study area.
Alligator mississippiensis (American Alligator)
• Habitat: This once-endangered reptile occurs in refuge marshes, slow-moving streams, and
manmade canals. They prefer areas where the water turbidity is low and the water quality is
high, with the presence of an adequate food source.

Calidris canutus rufa (Red Knot)
• Habitat: This medium-sized shorebird migrates annually between its breeding grounds in the
Canadian Arctic and several wintering regions, including the Southeast United States
(Southeast). Habitats used by red knots in migration and wintering areas are generally coastal
marine and estuarine (partially enclosed tidal area where fresh and salt water mixes) habitats
with large areas of exposed intertidal sediments. Red knots are commonly found along sandy,
gravel, or cobble beaches, tidal mudflats, salt marshes, shallow coastal impoundments and
lagoons, and peat banks. They forage along sandy beaches during spring and fall migration
from Maryland through Florida. During migration, knots also use the tidal mudflats in
Maryland and along North Carolina's barrier islands.

• Biological Conclusion: No Effect. No suitable habitat present in the project area. The site
was previously forestland that has been timbered by the landowner.
Chelonia mydas (Green Seaturtle)
• Habitat: Green turtles are generally found in fairly shallow waters (except when migrating)
inside reefs, bays, and inlets. The turtles are attracted to lagoons and shoals with an
abundance of marine grass and algae. Open beaches with a sloping platform and minimal
disturbance are required for nesting.
(hfn://ecos.fws.gov/tess public/profile/speciesProfile.action?spcode=COOS)
• Biological Conclusion: No Effect. No suitable habitat present in the project area. The site
limits of disturbance exclude aquatic resources.
Dermochelys coriacea (Leatherback Seaturtle)
• Habitat: Leatherbacks are the most pelagic of the sea turtles. Adult females require sandy
nesting beaches backed with vegetation and sloped sufficiently so the distance to dry sand is
limited. Their preferred beaches have proximity to deep water and generally rough seas.
(http://www.fws.gov/northflorida/SeaTurties/Turtle%20Factsheets/leatherback-sea-turtle.htm)
• Biological Conclusion: No Effect. No suitable habitat present in the project area. The site
limits of disturbance exclude aquatic resources.
Laterallus jamaicensis jamaicensis (Eastern Black Rail)
• Habitat: The habitat of this small, marsh bird can be tidally or non-tidally influenced, and
range in salinity from salt to brackish to fresh. Tidal height and volume vary greatly between
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and therefore contribute to differences in salt marsh cover plants
in the bird's habitat. Along the Atlantic coast, eastern black rail habitat includes impounded
and unimpounded salt and brackish marshes.
(httt)s://www.fws.gov/southeast/wildlife/birds/eastern-black-rail/)
• Biological Conclusion: No Effect. No suitable habitat present in the project area. The site
lacks marshes and impoundments.

Lysimachia asperulifolia (Rough-leaved Loosestrife)
• Habitat: This plant generally occurs in the ecotones or edges between longleaf pine uplands
and pond pine pocosins (areas of dense shrub and vine growth usually on a wet, peaty, poorly
drained soil) on moist to seasonally saturated sands and on shallow organic soils overlaying
sand. Rough-leaf loosestrife has also been found on deep peat in the low shrub community of
large Carolina bays (shallow, elliptical, poorly drained depressions of unknown origin). The
grass-shrub ecotone, where rough-leaf loosestrife is found, is fire-maintained, as are the
adjacent plant communities (longleaf pine - scrub oak, savanna, flatwoods, and pocosin).
Suppression of naturally-occurring fire in these ecotones results in shrubs increasing in
density and height and expanding to eliminate the open edges required by this plant. Several
populations are known from roadsides and power line rights of way where regular
maintenance mimics fire and maintains vegetation so that herbaceous species are open to
sunlight. (hqp://www.fws.gov/raleigh/soecies/es rough-leaf loosestrife.html)
• Biological Conclusion: No Effect. No suitable habitat present in the project area. The site
was previously forestland that has been timbered by the landowner, and the limits of
disturbance exclude wetlands. A review of the NCNHP records indicates no known
occurrence within 1 mile of the study area.
Myotis septentrionalis (The Northern Long-eared Bat)
• Habitat: The northern long-eared bat is found across much of the eastern and north central
United States. During summer, northern long-eared bats roost singly or in colonies
underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dead trees. Males and non-
reproductive females may also roost in cooler places, like caves and mines. This bat seems
opportunistic in selecting roosts, using tree species based on suitability to retain bark or
provide cavities or crevices. It has also been found, rarely, roosting in structures like barns
and sheds. Northern long-eared bats spend winter hibernating in caves and mines, called
hibemacula. They typically use large caves or mines with large passages and entrances;
constant temperatures; and high humidity with no air currents. Specific areas where they
hibernate have very high humidity, so much so that droplets of water are often seen on their
fur. Within hibernacula, surveyors find them in small crevices or cracks, often with only the
nose and ears visible. (https:Hecos.fws. og v/ecp0/profile/speciesProfile?sId=9045)
• Biological Conclusion: No Effect. No suitable habitat present in the project area. The site
was previously forestland that has been timbered by the landowner. No caves, mines,
bridges, buildings, or other similar structures are located within the review area. The site is
not within 'h mile of a known hibernation site nor within a 150-foot radius of a known,
occupied maternity roost.

Picoides borealis (The Red-cockaded Woodpecker)
• Habitat: For nesting and roosting habitat, red-cockaded woodpeckers need open stands of
pine containing trees 60 years old and older. RCWs need live, large older pines in which to
excavate their cavities. Longleaf pines (Pious palustris) are preferred, but other species of
southern pine are also acceptable. Dense stands, stands that are primarily hardwoods, or that
have a dense hardwood understory are avoided. Foraging habitat is provided in pine and pine
hardwood stands 30 years old or older with foraging preference for pine trees 10 inches or
larger in diameter. In good, moderately-stocked, pine habitat, sufficient foraging substrate
can be provided on 80 to 125 acres.
(http://www.fws.izov/ralcigh/si2ecies/es red-cockaded woodpecker.html)
• Biological Conclusion: No Effect. No suitable habitat present in the project area. The site
was previously forestland that has been timbered by the landowner.
Trichechus manaeus (West Indian Manatee)
• Habitat: Manatees are large, elongated marine mammals that move between fresh-water,
brackish, and saltwater environments. They prefer large, slow-moving rivers, river mouths,
and shallow coastal areas such as coves and bays. During the summer manatees expand their
range, and on rare occasions are seen as far north as Massachusetts on the Atlantic coast and
as far west as Texas on the Gulf coast.
(hftp://www.fws.p,ov/endanizered/esa-librar-v/r)df/manatee.pdf)
• Biological Conclusion: No Effect. No suitable habitat present in the project area. The site
limits of disturbance exclude aquatic resources.

CONCLUSION
Jurisdictional features (wetlands) were observed within 400 feet of the proposed pits, but
they will not be impacted by these activities. The site is not subject to state riparian buffer
regulation. The site does not contain suitable habitat for federally listed endangered or threatened
species. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at your
convenience.

Project Name: BBII-Weyerhaeuser Zone 5 Tract
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally-listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally-protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or
F/ rt �ude 21 E-�d111 _
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally-listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally-protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle—guidance-.html).Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/
comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shormose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
of this office atjohn_ellis@fws.gov.

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 10 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheriesl, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

RE: BBII-Weyerhaeuser Zone 5 Tract
Dear Krissina Newcomb:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, It does not
imply or confirm their absence: the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally-listed species is found within the project area or is Indicated within a one-mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina Is found here:
ht os//www fw aov/offi /Dir c orv/ istOffi s. fm?stat od = 7.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water Management Trust Fund
easement, or Federally-listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butlerna ncdcr.aov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nres/main/soils/health/)and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nres)or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist(http://www.nrGs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nres142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to Flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
Custom Soil Resource Report
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
6

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into Iandforms or
Iandform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
11
Custom Soil Resource Report
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

PROCEDURE FOR yIONITORING BORROW PIT DISCHARGE:
(2-20-0-)(Rev_3-19-13) 105-16,230.801 SPI G181
Water discharge from borrow pit sites shall not cause surface waters to exceed 50 NTUs
(nephelometric turbidity unit) in streams not designated as trout waters and 10 NTUs in streams,
lakes or reservoirs designated as trout waters. For lakes and reservoirs not designated as trout
waters, the turbidity shall not exceed 25 NTUs. If the turbidity exceeds these levels due to natural
background conditions, the existing turbidity level shall not be increased.
If during any operating day, the downstream water quality exceeds the standard, the Contractor
shall do all of the following:
(A) Either cease discharge or modify the discharge volume or turbidity levels to bring the
downstream turbidity levels into compliance, or
(B) Evaluate the upstream conditions to determine if the exceedance of the standard is due to
natural background conditions. If the background turbidity measurements exceed the
standard, operation of the pit and discharge can continue as long as the stream turbidity
levels are not increased due to the discharge.
(C) Measure and record the turbidity test results (time, date and sampler) at all defined
sampling locations 30 minutes after startup and at a minimum, one additional sampling of
all sampling locations during that 24-hour period in which the borrow pit is discharging.
(D) Notify DWQ within 24 hours of any stream turbidity standard exceedances that are not
brought into compliance.
During the Environmental Assessment required by Article 230-4 of the 2018 Standard
Specifications, the Contractor shall define the point at which the discharge enters into the State's
surface waters and the appropriate sampling locations. Sampling locations shall include points
upstream and downstream from the point at which the discharge enters these waters. Upstream
sampling location shall be located so that it is not influenced by backwater conditions and
C204177 R-1015 G-41 Carteret and Craven Counties
represents natural background conditions. Downstream sampling location shall be located at the
point where complete mixing of the discharge and receiving water has occurred.
The discharge shall be closely monitored when water from the dewatering activities is introduced
into jurisdictional wetlands. Any time visible sedimentation (deposition of sediment) on the
wetland surface is observed, the dewatering activity will be suspended until turbidity levels in the
stilling basin can be reduced to a level where sediment deposition does not occur. Staining of
wetland surfaces from suspended clay particles, occurring after evaporation or infiltration, does
not constitute sedimentation. No activities shall occur in wetlands that adversely affect the
functioning of a wettand. Visible sedimentation will be considered an indication of possible
adverse impacts on wetland use.
The Engineer will perform independent turbidity tests on a random basis. These results will be
maintained in a log within the project records. Records will include, at a minimum, turbidity test
results, time, date and name of sampler. Should the Department's test results exceed those of the
Contractor's test results, an immediate test shall be performed jointly with the results superseding
the previous test results of both the Department and the Contractor.
The Contractor shall use the VCDOT Turbidity Reduction Options for Borrow Pits Matrix,
available at:
https:i,connect.ncdot.gov resourcesiroadside/FieldOperationsDocuments,TurbidityReductionOpt
ionSheet.pdf to plan, design, construct, and maintain BMPs to address water quality standards.
Tier I Methods include stilling basins which are standard compensatory BMPs. Other Tier I
methods are noncompensatory and shall be used when needed to meet the stream turbidity
standards. Tier II Methods are also noncompensatory and are options that may be needed for
protection of rare or unique resources or where special environmental conditions exist at the site
which have led to additional requirements being placed in the DWQ's 401 Certifications and
approval letters, Isolated Wetland Permits, Riparian Buffer Authorization or a DOT Reclamation
Plan's Environmental Assessment for the specific site. Should the Contractor exhaust all Tier I
Methods on a site exclusive of rare or unique resources or special environmental conditions, Tier
II Methods may be required by regulators on a case by case basis per supplemental agreement.
The Contractor may use cation exchange capacity(CEC) values from proposed site borings to plan
and develop the bid for the project. CEC values exceeding 15 milliequivalents per 100 grams of
soil may indicate a high potential for turbidity and should be avoided when dewatering into surface
water is proposed.
No additional compensation for monitoring borrow pit discharge will be paid.
