City of Wilmington, Page 2
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is located on the north side of Hooker Road, between Mallard Street and Wrightsville Avenue in New
Hanover County. The proposed project site crosses 27 parcels however the proposed work would occur within existing
or proposed city right-of-way and easements. A stormwater pipe runs from Hooker Road adjacent to 130 Hooker Road
and outfalls into coastal wetlands. In the application materials, the applicant provided proof of notification of the
property owners 130 Hooker Road and their adjacent riparian neighbors, as well as a signed Agent Authorization form
from the property owner of 130 Hooker Road.
Most of the project site is outside of the 75' CAMA Area of Environmental Concern (AEC). The portion of the project
site that falls within the AEC is located adjacent to 130 Hooker Road. Man-made structures along the project site
include residential driveways, pavement associated with city roadway, sidewalk, and stormwater infrastructure (18"
pipe and riprap pad). Upland vegetation consists of lawn grasses and mixed hardwoods. Coastal wetland species are
present within a portion of the project site surrounding the stormwater pipe and species include Smooth Cordgrass
(Spartina Alternii fora), Salt grass (Distichlis spicata), and Sea Lavender (Limonium carolinianu).
The Wilmington -New Hanover County Land Use Plan classifies the area as Conservation. The waters in this location
are classified as SC by the Division of Water Quality. The area IS designated as a Primary Nursery Area (PNA) by the
Division of Marine Fisheries and is CLOSED to the taking of shellfish.
10. PROPOSED PROJECT:
The applicant proposes to install multi -use path along Hooker Road and upgrade an existing stormwater pipe
resulting in the filling of 150 sq. ft. of coastal wetlands.
The applicant is seeking to construct an eight (8) foot -wide asphalt multi -use path with a two (2) foot -wide curb
and gutter along the north side of Hooker Road for a total linear distance of 0.73 miles that would result in the
total disturbance of approximately 2.97 acres. There is currently no pedestrian access along the length of Hooker
Road, the proposed multi -use path would connect to existing an existing Cross City Trail at Mallard Street and an
existing bicycle lane along Wrightsville Avenue.
The construction of proposed 0.73-mile trail would result in the disturbance of approximately 2.97 acres, however
only approximately 75' linear feet of the proposed 10' wide path and gutter falls within the AEC. The portion of
the proposed path within the AEC would result in 750 sq. ft. of new impervious surface for a total of
approximately 23.6% impervious coverage within the city right-of-way or easement within the AEC (See Sheet
2a).
The applicant also proposes to improve the existing stormwater pipe that drains into the adjacent coastal wetlands.
The current pipe is undersized and replacing it with a larger diameter would improve water flow. The existing 18"
pipe would be capped and a new 36" pipe would be placed to align with the orientation of the existing outfall. The
proposed pipe would be placed P below the existing bottom contour. High ground excavation measuring 51' in
length by 6.7' in width by 6.4' in depth is proposed for the placement of the pipe. The proposed pipe would result
in the excavation of coastal wetlands measuring 35' in length by 6.7' in width by 6.4' in depth. The excavated
high ground material would be used to backfill the proposed pipe within the high ground area and the coastal
wetland material would be used to backfill the pipe within coastal wetlands. Any excess material would be taken
to an upland DCM approved site if needed that will be proposed by the contractor if needed. The applicant
proposes a new rip rap pad within coastal wetlands measuring approximately 15' in length by 10' in width (150
sq. ft.) to accommodate the proposed pipe. The proposed rip rap pad would replace the existing rip rap pad and
large scour hole that as formed. All work will take place landward of Normal High Water (See Sheet 2a).
The applicant proposes 1,289 sq. ft. of temporary impacts to coastal wetlands for installation of the proposed 36"
pipe. The proposed temporary impacts are 10' wide on the north, east, and west side of the location of the
proposed pipe and rip rap pad in coastal wetlands. All disturbed areas would return to preconstruction elevations.
The applicant states that within the disturbed coastal wetland limits, coastal wetland plugs and/or bare root
seedlings will be planted once construction is complete
The applicant states they have submitted a plan to the Division of Water Resources on 11/16/2021 and submitted
a sedimentation and erosion control plan to the Division of Land Resources on 1/7/2022.

City of Wilmington, Page 3
11. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The 8' wide multi -use path and associated curb and drainage would disturb 2.97 acres of high ground within
existing and proposed city right-of-way and easements. The multi -use path and associated curb would create
approximately 43,560 sq. ft. of new impervious surface, most of which is outside the AEC. Approximately 750
sq. ft. of new impervious surface would be located on the high ground within the AEC for a total of 23.6% of
impervious surfaces within the existing or proposed city right-of-way and easements within the AEC.
The placement of the proposed pipe would result in 1,289 sq. ft. of temporary impacts to coastal wetlands. The
applicant states that the disturbed areas will be returned to pre -construction elevation and planted with coastal
wetland species. The placement of the new rip rap pad would result in the permanent filling of approximately 150
sq. ft. of coastal wetlands.

Subject: Application for Coastal Area Management Act Major Permit for the Proposed Hooker Road Multi -
Use Path, New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Hall:
On behalf of the City of Wilmington, WSP USA has completed a Coastal Area Management Act (LAMA) major
permit application for the proposed Hooker Road Multi -Use Path project and requests authorization from the North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM) for impacts to Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs) that will
result from the project. This submittal also serves as an application for a Section 404 permit from the US Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) and associated 401 Water Quality Certification from the North Carolina Division of
Water Resources (DWR) for impacts to the jurisdictional wetland that will result from the project.
Proiect Narrative
The proposed project includes the construction of an 8-foot asphalt multi -use path along the north side of Hooker
Road from Mallard Street to Wrightsville Avenue, for a total project length of approximately 0.73 miles. The
current roadway is approximately 18-feet wide and has no shoulders on either side. There are no bicycle or
pedestrian facilities on the roadway, except for 200-feet of sidewalk at the intersection of Woodland Forest Court,
which would tie into the project. The proposed multi -use path would connect to the existing Gary Shell Cross City
Trail at Mallard Street and to the existing bicycle lanes along Wrightsville Avenue. High -visibility crosswalks
would be installed across Trowbridge Road, Teal Street, Tidal Reach Court, and Hooker Road near the
Wrightsville Avenue intersection.
The proposed multi -use path would be separated by a 2.0-foot new curb and gutter, and the drainage network along
Hooker Road will be updated accordingly. The proposed project will eliminate most existing sections of open
swales and driveway pipes. Grated drop inlets will be installed behind the multi -use path at these locations to
collect any surface runofiflowing towards the back of the fill slope, and lateral pipes will connect the drop inlets to
the proposed stormwater systems. Existing crossings include a 24" pipe on Hooker Road just south of the
intersection with Rose Avenue, an 18" pipe on Hooker Road just north of the intersection with Teal Street, and an
18" pipe on Hooker Road several hundred feet south of the intersection with Dorsett Place. All the existing
crossings will be maintained. These crossings are for stormwater drainage and are not crossings for jurisdictional
features. Minor surface grading will ensure positive drainage towards the newly installed yard inlets if necessary.
The amount of new impervious area for the project is minimal and limited to the proposed sidewalk/multi-use paths
and curb and gutter.
Adjustments to underground utilities (stormwater, potable water, sanitary sewer) will be necessary to facilitate
construction and avoid other utility conflicts. The water distribution network improvements will include a
relocation of approximately 460 feet of the water main on Hooker Road in approximately the same location. All
existing infrastructure will be maintained or replaced in kind. No impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S.,
including coastal wetlands, will result from the underground utility work

Mr. Hall
" `l I ) February 4, 2022
Silt fence will be utilized along the limits of disturbance to minimize the potential of sediment laden water exiting
the site and prevent clean offsite water from mixing with the sediment laden water onsite. Careful dewatering
(using special stilling basins), inlet protection, and phasing of storm network improvements will be implemented to
manage sediment laden water on -site. Construction entrances or other measures will be implemented to ensure that
traffic leaving the construction site does not carry sediment outside of the limits of construction.
Ajoint Section 404 jurisdictional wetland/coastal wetland and coastal shoreline Areas of Environmental Concern
(AECs) are present within the project area on the 130 Hooker Road property. The boundaries of the coastal wetland
and the normal high water level were verified by DCM during a site visit on September 1, 2021. The City of
Wilmington received a signed Jurisdictional Determination (JD) from the USACE on October 4, 2021 agreeing
with the joint Section 404jurisdictional wetland/coastal wetland boundary.
Proposed temporary impacts to the coastal wetland includes 184 sq. ft. (<0.01) due to the installation and burial of
a new 36" reinforced concrete pipe, and 1,105 sq. ft. (0.03 ac.) due to construction access to install the new pipe,
which is a total of 1,289 sq. ft. (0.03 ac.). The area of proposed temporary impacts will be restored to
preconstruction contours and replanted with plugs and/or bare root seedlings consisting of a mixture of cattail,
bulrush, sawgrass, and cordgrass or otherwise approved CAMA coastal wetland plant species. The plants will be
obtained from a local nursery and planted in accordance to the supplier's recommendations. Proposed permanent
impacts to the coastal wetland include 150 sq. ft. (<0.01 ac) due to the installation of a riprap pad. The riprap pad
will be installed in an existing scour hole (currently lined with riprap) that has formed at the outlet of the existing
culvert. The project will improve existing conditions by reducing erosive outlet velocities and improving water
quality and habitat; therefore, no mitigation is being proposed for the project.
The City of Wilmington will provide a checkfor $400.00 to cover the CAMA permit application fee separately from
this permit application package.

b. Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The purpose of the project is to facilitate and improve bicycle and pedestrian access on Hooker Road by constructing a multi-
use path along Hooker Road between Mallard Street and Wrightsville Avenue. There are currently no facilities for bicylists
and limited pedestrian facilities. The project is needed to create continuous bicycle and pedestrian accommodations along
Hooker Avenue and improve connectivity to existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities, such as the River to Sea Bikeway and
the Gary Shell Cross City Trail. Once completed, the multi -use path will be open to the public to use.
c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where it is to be stored.
The proposed project will be constructed as shown in the attached plans.
The proposed project includes the construction of an 8-foot asphalt multi -use path along the north side of Hooker Road from
Mallard Street to Wrightsville Avenue, for a total project length of approximately 0.73 miles. The current roadway is
approximately 18-feet wide and has no shoulders on either side. There are no bicycle or pedestrian facilities on the roadway,
except for 200-feet of sidewalk at the intersection of Woodland Forest Court, which would tie into the project. The proposed
multi -use path would be separated by a 2.0-foot new curb and gutter. The proposed multi -use path would conned to the
existing Gary Shell Cross City Trail at Mallard Street and to the existing bicycle lanes along Wrightsville Avenue. High -
visibility crosswalks would be installed across Trowbridge Road, Teal Street, Tidal Reach Court, and Hooker Road near the
Wrightsville Avenue intersection.
The project would require drainage improvements to accommodate stormwater runoff due to the installation of the multi -use
path. Drainage improvements include installation of curb and gutter on the north side of Hooker Road to accommodate the
proposed multi -use path. A component of the drainage improvements includes the replacement of an 18" existing pipe on the
north side of Hooker Road with a new pipe tied to the new curb and gutter drainage that discharges to the adjacent tidal
marsh. The new pipe will be a 36" reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) that will be buried 12 inches beneath the ground surface
and the trench backfilled with suitable material. A riprap pad will be installed at the outlet of the new pipe. The new pipe is
aligned so the outlet will match the existing pipe where a scour hole has formed. The riprap pad will fill the existing scour
hole that is already lined with riprap. The new riprap pad would restore the area to a more natural elevation. The proposed
work would improve water flow, habitat, and overall quality of the coastal wetland.
Adjustments to underground utilities (stormwater, potable water, sanitary sewer) will necessary to facilitate construction and
avoid other utility conflicts. The water distribution network improvements will include a relocation of approximately 460 feet
of the water main on Hooker Road in approximately the same location. All existing infrastructure will be maintained or
replaced in kind. No impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including coastal wetlands, will result from the underground
utility work
Equipment used to construct the project may include but are not limited to bulldozers, backhoes, trac& excavators, paving
equipment, and graders. Equipment will be stored in upland in specified staging areas.

Ajoint Section 404 jurisdictional wetland/coastal wetland and coastal shoreline Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs) are
present within the project area on the 130 Hooker Road property. The boundaries of the coastal wetland and the normal high
water level were verified by DCM during a site visit on September 1, 2021. The City of Wilmington received a signed
Jurisdictional Determination (JD) from the USACE on October 4, 2021 agreeing with the joint Section 404jurisdictional
wetland/coastal wetland boundary.
Proposed temporary impacts to the coastal wetland includes 184 sq. ft, (<0.01) due to the installation and burial of a new 36"
reinforced concrete pipe, and 1,105 sq. ft. (0.03 ac.) due to construction access to install the new pipe, which is a total of
1,289 sq. ft. (0.03 ac.). The area of proposed temporary impacts will be restored to preconstruction contours and replanted
with plugs and/or bare root seedlings consisting of a mixture of cattail, bulrush, sawgrass, and cordgrass or otherwise
approved CAMA coastal wetland plant species. The plants will be obtained from a local nursery and will be planted in
accordance to the supplier's recommendations. Proposed permanent impacts to the coastal wetland include 150 sq. ft.
(<0.01 ac) due to the installation of a riprap pad. The riprap pad will be installed in an existing scour hole (currently lined with
riprap) that has formed at the outlet of the existing culvert. The project will improve existing conditions by reducing erosive
outlet velocities and improving water quality and habitat; therefore, no mitigation is being proposed for the project.

USGS HUC 03020302 Coordinates Latitude: 34.22279
Longitude:-77.84668
Location description: The protect location is along Hooker Road from Mallard St. to Wrightsville Ave. in Wilmington.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
® There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (REA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated September 2021.
Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining
compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource
protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be
affected in any way by the permitted activity on the site as if they arejurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary
determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part
331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for tiuther
instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403).
However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
it period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are waters, including wetlundson the above described project area/properly subject to the permit requirements of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be
able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct - li a io ltth t
can be verified by the Corps. I1-ge5 �� ��` �

SAW-2021-00331
❑The waters, including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by
the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. We strongly
suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once
verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided
there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
❑The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Brad Shaver at 910-251-4611 or

form dated 10/04/2021.
D. Remarks: This PJD was made via desktol).
E. Attention USDA Program Participants

identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security
Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request

A. Project Description:
U-5534G
44096.1. F8
STPDA-0332 (48)
The proposed Hooker Road Multi -Use Path project would construct an 8-foot asphalt multi -use path
along the north side of Hooker Road from Mallard Street to Wrightsville Avenue, for a total project
length of approximately 0.73 miles. The current roadway is approximately 18-feet wide and has no
shoulders on either side. There are no bicycle or pedestrian facilities on the roadway, except for 200-
feet of sidewalk at the intersection of Woodland Forest Court, which would tie into the project. The
proposed multi -use path would be separated by a 2-foot new curb and gutter. The proposed multi -use
path would connect to the existing Gary Shell Cross City Trail at Mallard Street and to the existing
bicycle lanes along Wrightsville Avenue. High -visibility crosswalks would be installed across
Trowbridge Road, Teal Street, Tidal Reach Court, and Hooker Road near the Wrightsville Avenue
intersection.
The project would require drainage improvements to accommodate stormwater runoff due to the
installation of the multi -use path. A component of the drainage improvements includes the
replacement of an existing culvert on the north side of Hooker Road with a new pipe that discharges to
an adjacent marsh. The project would also require the conversion of an existing ditch drainage to curb
drainage to accommodate the proposed path near the intersection of Hooker Road and Wrightsville
Avenue. Approximately 425 feet of existing waterline would be relocated as part of the proposed
project, as well as drainage improvements. Refer to the attached project location map.
The City of Wilmington received federal funds through the Surface Transportation Block Grant
Program (STBGP) for the design and construction of the proposed project.
B. Description of Need and Purpose:
The purpose of the Hooker Road Multi -Use Path project is to facilitate and improve bicycle and
pedestrian access on Hooker Road by constructing a multi -use path along Hooker Road between
Mallard Street and Wrightsville Avenue. There are currently no facilities for bicyclists and limited
pedestrian facilities. The roadway is a narrow 18-foot wide cross section with grass shoulders and
drainage ditches on either side. The project is needed to create continuous bicycle and pedestrian
accommodations along Hooker Avenue and improve connectivity to existing bicycle and pedestrian
facilities, such as the River to Sea Bikeway and the Gary Shell Cross City Trail. The project is also
needed to improve bicycle and pedestrian access to the University of North Carolina Wilmington
(UNCW) campus for students and residents. The Hooker Road multi -use path is identified in the
Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization's 2013 Greenway Plan as future bicycle lanes. In
addition, the 2009 Walk Wilmington Comprehensive Pedestrian Plan recommends sidewalks on
Hooker Road.

of Federal funds.
E. Special Proiect Information:
A request for comment letter was sent through the N.C. State Clearinghouse on February 16, 2021.
The Department of Public Safety Division of Emergency Management, DEQ Division of Water
Resources, DEQ Division of Air Quality, and N.0 Wildlife Resource Commission had no comment
upon review of the project corridor and description of proposed activities.
The NCDEQ Public Water Supply Section noted that the proposed waterline relocation plans will need
to be submitted to the Division of Water Resources/Public Water Supply Section. The City of
Wilmington will submit applications and final design plans to the NCDEQ for review.
Request for comment letters were also sent to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wilmington
District and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) on February 16, 2021 . The USACE indicated that the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (NCDCM) would serve as lead permitting agency if impacts are within tidal waters. The
NMFS recommended a scoping meeting with NCDCM to discuss the project. Further coordination with
NCDCM will occur prior to project construction to obtain necessary approvals.
Natural Environment
Suitable habitat is present in the project corridor for the eastern black rail (Laterallus jamaicensis
jamaicensis), which is a threatened species protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
During the field evaluation, no eastern black rails were observed. The culvert replacement would likely
meet the requirements for activities excepted from prohibitions in the 4(d) rule for eastern black rail. A
biological opinion of May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect was rendered for eastern black rail.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service has revised the previous programmatic biological opinion (PBO) in
conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE), and NCDOT for the northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis) in eastern
North Carolina, The PBO covers the entire NCDOT program in Divisions 1-8, including all NCDOT
projects and activities. Although this PBO covers Divisions 1-8, NLEBs are currently only known in 22
counties, but may potentially occur in 8 additional counties within Divisions 1-8. NCDOT, FHWA, and
USACE have agreed to two conservation measures which will avoid/minimize mortality of
NLEBs. These conservation measures only apply to the 30 currently known/potential counties shown
on Figure 2 of the PBO at this time. The programmatic determination for NLEB for the NCDOT
program is May Affect, Likely to Adversely Affect. The PBO will ensure compliance with Section 7
of the ESA for ten years (effective through December 31, 2030) for all NCDOT projects with a federal
nexus in Divisions 1-8, which includes New Hanover County, where U-5534G is located. No other
species protected under the ESA listed for New Hanover County had suitable habitat present in the
project corridor. A bald eagle nest survey was conducted within a 660-foot buffer of the existing project
study area and no nests were observed. WSP biologists did not receive a response from the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Raleigh Ecological Services Field Office regarding the attached self -
certification letter sent on February 16, 2021, . USFWS therefore concurred with the biological
opinions.
Erosion and sediment control plans and a stormwater permit will be submitted to NCDEQ if one or
more acres of land will be disturbed. WSP environmental scientists conducted a field evaluation of the
project study area on February 2, 2021. Waters of the United States (WOTUS), including coastal
wetlands and non -coastal wetlands, were delineated in the project corridor. The culvert replacement
area extends into a tidal marsh adjacent to Bradley Creek, and potential marsh impacts are expected
to qualify for a Clean Water Act Section 404 Nationwide Permit and Coastal Area Management Act
general permit. A Clean Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification will also be required.
The N.C. Department of Public Safety Division of Emergency Management indicated the project
encroaches into the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). A floodplain development permit issued by
the City of Wilmington will be required for any grading, fill, or placement of equipment or materials in
the SFHA.
v2019.1 U-5534G Type I(A) CE Page 2

The NCDEQ Public Water Supply Section noted that the proposed waterline relocation plans will need
to be submitted to the Division of Water Resources/Public Water Supply Section. The City of
Wilmington will submit applications and final design plans to the NCDEQ for review.
Environmental Screening
A search of available environmental records was conducted by Environmental Data Resources, Inc
(EDR) to identify known contaminated sites within one mile of the project study area. Construction
limits associated with the Hooker Road Multi -Use Path project were reviewed and the project is not
anticipated to result in any impacts to known contaminated sites.
Within '/- mile of the project, the EDR report identified one Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) site at Timberlynn Village Mobile Home Park. The site is inactive with its last inspection in
2007. No violations were identified during the past inspections. No leaking underground storage tank
incidents (LUST) are known to have occurred within Y2 mile of the project site. The NCDEQ had no
comments regarding reported petroleum releases or registered USTs in the project area.
National Historic Preservation Act
A review of the NC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) HPOWEB 2.0 web mapping application
revealed a house identified as NH1742 with a status of "surveyed -only" located at 120 Hooker Road.
No impacts to the structure will result from the proposed project. The NC Department of Natural and
Cultural Resources had no comment upon review of the project corridor and description of proposed
activities.
Demographics
The Hooker Avenue Multi -Use Path project demographic profile was screened using the NCDOT
Demographic Snapshot Tool, which uses the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year block group
data from 2014-2018. There is one block group that encompasses the entire study area. The block
group is considered an environmental justice population because the percentage of people under 50%
of the poverty level (15.0%) is over 5% greater than that of New Hanover County (9.1%). Additionally,
there are 118 residents in the block group who speak Spanish as their primary language and speak
English less than very well.
There would be no adverse impacts to any of these populations or any other residents due to right-of-
way (ROW) impacts or temporary construction easements (TCE). Based on 60% designs, the project
would require approximately 0.3 acres of temporary easements spreads across 24 parcels. The
impacts would be associated with the construction of the multi -use path. The Hooker Road Multi -Use
Path project would be a betterment to the community by providing pedestrian facilities and improving
connectivity to local destinations, such as existing greenways and the UNCW campus.
Once construction is completed, the impacted portions of these properties would be returned to their
pre -construction uses. The City will work closely with the owners and residents to minimize impacts to
these properties. The City of Wilmington will distribute information in English and Spanish to effectively
communicate to residents in the Hooker Road Multi -Use Path project area about the proposed project.
Public Involvement
The City of Wilmington sent letters to property owners along the Hooker Road Multi -Use Path project
in January 2021. The letters included the project description, the City of Wilmington project manager's
contact information, and notified them of potential survey work occurring in their area. Five comments
were received for the project regarding the construction of the multi -use path. All of the comments
were in favor of the future bicycle and pedestrian accommodations on Hooker Road. Two comments
addressed concerns that the placement of the multi -use path on the north side of the roadway would
pose safety issues related to visibility of bicyclists and pedestrians at intersections; specifically, at the
Hooker Road/Wrightsville Avenue intersection and the need for safe road crossings and visual
markings. The City of Wilmington reviewed whether the multi -use path could be constructed on the
south side of the road. However, the project was cost -prohibitive due to utility impacts, wet and dry
utility relocations, and drainage issues on the south side of Hooker Road. The south side would
require more stormwater infrastructure as well as relocation of water, sewer, gas, and overhead power
lines. The project design includes high -visibility crosswalks at the intersections of Tidal Reach Court,
Teal Street, and Trowbridge Street to provide safe and clearly marked crossing poilf�r,jm�tt�pse
path users.
v2019.1 U-5534G Type I(A) CE Page 3

The other three comments expressed interest in preserving as may trees as possible throughout the
corridor and ensuring trees on the property owners land would not be trimmed heavily or removed.
The City responded to all comments and ensured constituents that the City arborist was working
closely with the project to remove as few trees as possible and to ensure that properties were still
buffered from the multi -use path. The City of Wilmington will send out another property owner
notification letter prior to construction to provide an update on the project design.
