Dear Mr. Scarbraughand Mr. Wojoski,
On behalf of the Town of Edenton, we are requesting authorization from the USACE to use NWP
14for 0.19acofpermanent wetland impactsfor rehabilitation of existing pavement and
construction of a new taxiway connection to Runway 19. We are also requesting an NCDWR 401
WQC for the abovereferenced impact. A Jurisdictional Determination request is attached to this
application,however, WR is not requesting issuance of a JD in conjunction with issuanceof an
NWP.
The following table presentsthe proposed impact:

The proposed activities consist of rehabilitation of the existing pavement and construction of a
new taxiway connection to Runway 19 and tree clearing along the proposed Runway 19 taxiway.
The projectarea consists of ±69-acres situated within the larger airport property (PIN:
781300971963) located at 113 Airport Drive in Edenton, Chowan County. The area consists of:
•±50-acre area located east of Runway 19. This review area is in the Pasquotank River Basin
(HUC: 03010205) and drains to Edenton Bay (Stream Index: 26-1; Surface Water Classification:
C; NSW).
•±19-acre area located at the southernend of Runway 1. This review area is in the Pasquotank
River Basin (HUC: 03010205) and drains to the Albemarle Sound (Stream Index: 30; Surface Water
Classification: SB).
Proposed Project
The purpose of the proposed project includes rehabilitation of the existing parallel taxiway along
the northeast side of Runway 19. Northeastern Regional Airport does not currently have an active
parallel taxiway to the runway. Runway 1-19 has approximately 4,100’ of existing parallel taxiway
between stub Taxiways ‘A’ and ‘C’, with another approximately 2,000’of inactive pavement that
will be rehabilitated and become active taxiway pavement as part of this project. Approximately
600’ of new taxiway pavement will need to be constructed between the Runway 19 end and the
existing inactive taxiway which is intended to be rehabilitated. The only entrances to the runway

are 400’ from the Runway 1 end and 1,050’ from the Runway 19 end, requiring substantial back-
taxiing for aircraft on Runway 19. The full parallel taxiway will increase safety at the airport by
removing back taxiing on the runway. This project also includes rehabilitation of approximately
450’ of inactive runway pavement at the Runway 1 end (100' wide) which will serve as a displaced
threshold pavement for Runway 1 approach. This is being done to utilize the existing pavement
to the extent possible during construction of the parallel taxiway.
The taxiway will be constructed to a width of 50’ and the centerline of the taxiway will be located
650’ offset from the runway centerline -the current separation of the partial parallel taxiway.
Grading within the taxiway safety area (79’ wide) will be performed on both sides of the taxiway
and drainage improvements will be made to maintain historic drainage patterns. Excess pavement
shoulders along the existing taxiway will be removed and restored.
The total project area consists of ±69-acreswithin the Northeastern Regional Airport.
The project consistsof the following:
Rehabilitation of ±3.7 acres of existing pavement south of Runway 1 to restore a taxiway
to the Terminal Apron.
Rehabilitation of ±2.7 acres of existing pavement east of Runway 1-9 to create a parallel
taxiway.
Construction of a new taxiway connection to Runway 19, consisting of ±0.8 acres.
Tree clearing within a 1,500 ft long x 30 ft wide area along the eastern edge of the
proposed pavement rehabilitation along Runway 1-9.
One permanent wetland impact (WetlandA) is proposed for the proposed taxiway connector that
will connect Runway 19 and the rehabilitated pavement east of the runway.
Standard construction equipment and techniques for this type of airport project will be used to
construct the proposed project.
Project History
WithersRavenel delineated the site on 10/28/2020. The site review identified two wetlands
(Wetlands A & B) within the review area.The site review identified one stream (Stream 1) which
is located within Wetland A. Based on the location of the parallel taxiway connection to Runway
19, impacts to Stream 1 are not anticipated.
WR conducted a pedestrian survey of the review area to assess vegetative communities and
identify potential habitat for, or occurrences of, federal and state listed species. WithersRavenel
completed a threatened and endangered species survey within the proposed project area which
determined that there are nofederally listed endangered or threatened species, or species
proposed for listing present. The results of the survey were submitted to the USFWS for
concurrence. In a letter dated 1/14/2021, the USFWS specified that the proposed project is not
likely to adversely affect any federally listed species, their formally designated critical habitat, or
species currently proposed for listing and requirements of section 9(a)(2) of the Act have been
satisfied for the project. A copy of the USFWS letter is included in the attached appendix.
WithersRavenel requested a Federal Coastal Zone Consistency Determination Concurrence on
1/28/2021 for the proposed project from the NC Division of Coastal Management. In an email
dated 3/26/2021, the NC DCM concurred that the proposed project was consistent with North
Carolina’s approved coastal management program. A copy of the email is included in the appendix.

A Jurisdictional Determination request is attached to this application however, WR is not
requesting issuance of a JD in conjunction with issues of an NWP.
Proposed Impacts
The proposed impacts consist of:
Impacts from Construction:
0.19acres of permanent wetland impacts
The proposed permanent wetland impactsare necessary for a culverted crossing of Wetland A for
the taxiway connector that will connect Runway 19 and the rehabilitated pavement east of the
runway. No impacts are proposed for the rehabilitation of the existing pavement, tree clearing, or
construction of the restoredtaxiway to the Terminal Apron.
Avoidance and Minimization
Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted
so that impacts to wetlands and “waters” could be minimized.
Proposed permanentwetlandimpactsforthe Northeastern Regional Airport projecthave been
minimized to only those necessary for construction of one taxiway crossingto connect the existing
parallel taxiway to Runway 19to increase efficiencyand safety.The proposed taxiwayconnector
hasbeen designed tocross Wetland Aperpendicularlyto minimize impacts.Additionally, concrete
headwalls are proposed to minimize fill slope and reduceimpacts. The crossing must be wide
enough to support aircrafttrafficbut has been designed to be only as wide as necessary.Due to
the need to connect to the Runway 19 threshold, the connector cannot be located in any other
configuration that would avoid wetland or existing infrastructure impacts. Alternative crossings
(i.e., bridge) is cost prohibitive and not feasible for this project.
Wetland A is located between the existing taxiway and Runway 1-9; therefore,impacts cannot be
avoided.There areno tidal waters or CAMA AECs within or adjacent to the review area and
authorization from the NCDCM is not required for proposed activities within the review area.
Access during construction will occur within uplands and existing right of ways. Additionally,
sediment and erosion control measures will be installed prior to construction.
Wetland Mitigation
The applicant proposes to mitigate for the0.19acres of proposed permanent wetland impacts
through the purchase of offsite mitigation credits at a 2:1 ratio, resulting in the provision of 0.38
acres of wetland mitigation credits. WithersRavenel contacted mitigation banks that service the
Pasquotank River Basin (HUC: 03010205)to determine availability of wetlandmitigation credits.
The letter of acceptance from theHidden LakeMitigation Bank for the 0.38ac of wetland
mitigation has been provided as an attachment.

Re: Northeastern Regional Airport Parallel Taxiway Chowan County

Dear Mr. Beasley:

This letter is to inform you that the Service has established an on-line project planning and
consultation process which assists developers and consultants in determining whether a
federally-listed species or designated critical habitat may be affected by a proposed project. For
future pro
https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/pp.html. If you are only searching for a list of species that may be

Consultation System (IPaC) website to determine if any listed, proposed, or candidate species
may be present in the Action Area and generate a species list. The IPaC website may be viewed
at https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/. The IPaC web site contains a complete and frequently updated list
of all endangered threatened species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act
1
of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), a list of federal species of concern that are
known to occur in each county in North Carolina, and other resources.
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

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
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.

With regard to the above-referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are
submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act.

Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed
action is not likely to adversely affect any federally-listed endangered or threatened species, their
formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at
these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for
your project. Please remember 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; (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 the identified action.

However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have
on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we
recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species,
including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control
measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by
the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction.
Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction
site and any nearby down-gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining
natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site.

The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a
copy can be found on our website at (http://www.fws.gov/raleigh) to address and mitigate
secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality.

We recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in
completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary).

We hope you find our web page useful and informative and that following the process described
above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for

New taxiway edge lights will be installed along both side of the taxiway. Excess pavement

shoulders along the taxiway will also be removed with this project. Taxiway shoulders will be
restored with sod or seeding/mulching after pavement removal.
Northeastern Regional Airport is located in Chowan County, NC which is a public use airport and
owned by the town of Edenton. It is located three nautical miles southeast of the central
business district. The proposed taxiway will be constructed to the Runway 1 (northern end on
approximately 450' of inactive runway pavement) and Runway 19 (east end on approximately
2,000' of inactive taxiway pavement and on grassed area that is regularly mowed and
maintained by the airport) of the runway 1-19. The limits of construction include approximately
12 acres within the airport property. Within the limits of construction, approximately 4.0 acres
will be paved.
The Runway 1 review area is located in the Pasquotank River Basin and drains to Albemarle
Sound. The project area is in Flood Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard.
The Runway 19 review area is located in the Pasquotank River Basin and drains to Edenton Bay.
The project area is in Flood Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard.

Are there historic/cultural resources listed (or eligible for listing) on the National
Register of Historic Places located in the Area of Potential Effect? If yes, provide a
record of the historic and/or cultural resources located therein and check with your
local Airports Division/District Office to determine if a Section 106 finding is required.
Based on review of the SHPO's online GIS mapping application, the Northeastern
Regional Airport surveyed as the Marine Corps Air station (CO0248) was determined
as eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. As all the construction
associated with Parallel Taxiway project will be performed on airport property, within
areas previously disturbed and as no alterations of any structures is proposed, the
project will have no effect on historic property and a Section 106 finding is not
required. SHPO provided a separate response as part of the State Clearinghouse
coordination indicating that the project will have "no effect on the historic property"
on a letter dated February 26,2020. (See Appendix C for SHPO, State Clearinghouse
Coordination and Response).
Does the project have the potential to cause effects? If yes, describe the nature and
extent of the effects.
All construction will be performed on airport property, within areas previously
disturbed and as no alterations of any structures is proposed, there will be no effect
on identified site.
Is the project area undisturbed? If not, provide information on the prior disturbance
(including type and depth of disturbance, if available)
The area is disturbed with mowed/maintained grass.
Will the project impact tribal land or land of interest to tribes? If yes, describe the

nature and extent of the effects and provide information on the tribe affected.
Consultation with their THPO or a tribal representative along with the SHPO may be
required.

Are there any properties protected under Section 4(f) (as defined by FAA Order
1050.1F) in or near the project area? This includes publicly owned parks, recreation
areas, and wildlife or waterfowl refuges of national, state or local significance or land
from a historic site of national, state or local significance.
The Northeastern Regional Airport originally constructed during World War II by the
United States Navy as the Marine Corps Air Station is eligible for the National Register
of Historic Places and is therefore a Section 4(f) property. All construction associated
with the Parallel Taxiway project will be performed on airport property, within areas
previously disturbed. This project will cause "no effect on the historic property" as
stated by SHPO on letter dated February 26,2020. (See Appendix C for SHPO, State
Clearinghouse Coordination and Response).

4(f) resource? If yes, describe the nature and extent of the use and/or impacts, and
why there are no prudent and feasible alternatives. See 5050.4B Desk Reference
Chapter 7.
This proposed project would constitute a "use" of the Section 4(f) resource. All
construction associated with the Parallel Taxiway project will be performed on airport
property, within areas previously disturbed and as the project will not alter any
structures or the general configuration of the runways and taxiways, the project will
have no effect on historic property.
The extent of use and/or impacts involve rehabilitation of existing runway pavement
on Runway 1 end and rehabilitation of existing inactive taxiway pavement east of
Runway 19 end and construction of new connecting taxiway pavement to the Runway
19 end.
The Northeastern Regional Airport does not currently have a full active parallel
taxiway for Runway 1-19. The North Carolina Geneal Aviation Airport Development
Plan (NCGAADP) recommends for "Green" category Airports, that a full parallel
taxiway be constructed to increase airport safety by eliminating the need for aircraft
to utilize the runway to taxi back to the terminal area. Thus, there are no prudent and
feasible alternatives to this project.
Will the project affect any recreational or park land purchased with Section 6(f) Land
and Water Conservation Funds? If so, please explain, if there will be impacts to those
properties.
All construction associated with the Parallel Taxiway project will be performed on
airport property, within areas previously disturbed. No section 6(f) properties will be
affected as a result of this project.

5-2.b(3) Threatened or Endangered Species

Are there any federal or state listed endangered, threatened, or candidate species or
designated critical habitat in or near the project area? This includes species protected
by individual statute, such as the Bald Eagle.
WithersRavenel (WR) environmental scientists conducted a field survey of the project
area and adjacent areas for federal and state listed threatened and edangered species
known to occur in Chowan County on 10/28/20. Prior to conducting the site visit, WR
database, located at: http://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cntylist/nc_counties.html
identify federal and state listed threatened and endangered species known to occur in
Chowan County, North Carolina. Additionally, WR submitted a project review request
to the NCNHP through their Data Explorer webpage, located at:
https://ncnhde.natureserve.org/, to identify known occurrence of federal and state
listed threatened or endangered species within 1.0 miles of the review area. The
NCNHP project review determined that there are no known occurrences of federal or
state listed species within the project area. There are known occurrences of one
federally listed threatened species (bald eagle) and two federally listed endangered
species (shortnose sturgeon & Atlantic sturgeon) within 1.0 miles of the review area, as
documented in the attached letter from NCNHP dated 11/03/2020. The Wetlands and
Threatened & Endangered Species Assessment Report prepared by WR has been
provided in Appendix D.
On October 28, 2020, WR conducted a pedestrian survey of the review area to assess
vegetative communities and identify potential habitat for, or occurrences of, federal
and state listed species. The review of the NCNHP GIS data (2020) identified a known
occurrence of a bald eagle nest (Nest EOID: 38061.00) located approximately 420 ft
east of the northern end of the existing parallel taxiway at Runway 19 within the pine
forest. The nest was last observed in 2015 and was active at that time. The NCNHP GIS
data did not provide coordinates for the nest but listed the
contacted the NCNHP on 10/22/2020 requesting additional information on Nest EOID:
38061.00 regarding coordinates of the nest to aid with location in the field. In an email
dated 10/22/2020, Suzanne Mason with NCNHP specified that there are no
coordinates for the eagle nest as it was never located with GPS and that the accuracy

NCNHP) provided in Appendix D.
area. Additionally, Nest EOID: 6801.00 was not found and is believed to have been
destroyed. In the
area, the proposed activities are not anticipated to adversely affect the nest as a result
of the dense forest screening and the proposed activities being located in excess of 330
ft as recommended by the USFWS Eagle Technical Assistance document.

CheckpointYESNO
Based on the results of the pedestrian survey and recommendations of the USFWS
Eagle Technical Assistance document, WR concludes that the proposed activities are
not likely to affect bald eagles. WithersRavenel submitted the findings of the
threatened and endangered species survey to the USFWS for concurrence. The USFWS
response dated 01/14/2021 documenting that the proposed project is not likely to
adversely affect any federally listed species has been provided in Appendix D. Please
see Appendix D for WR Threatened and Endangered Species Assessment Report.
Does the project affect or have the potential to affect, directly or indirectly, any federal
or state-listed, threatened, endangered or candidate species, or designated habitat
under the Endangered Species Act? If yes, Section 7 consultation between the FAA and
the US Fish & Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, and/or the
appropriate state agency will be necessary. Provide a description of the impacts and
how impacts will be avoided, minimized, or mitigated. Provide the Biological
Assessment and Biological Opinion, if required.
The proposed project will have "No Effect" on federal and state listed threatened,
endangered or candidate species, as documented in the Wetlands and Threatened &
Endangered Species Assessment Report prepared by WR (Appendix D). Therefore,
Section 7 consultation is not required.
Does the project have the potential to take birds protected by the Migratory Bird
Treaty Act? Describe steps to avoid, minimize, or mitigate impacts (such as timing
windows determined in consultation with the US Fish & Wildlife Service).
The proposed action will not result in a "taking" of birds protected by the Migratory
Bird Treaty Act.

5-2.b(4) Other Resources
YESNO
Does the project area contain resources protected by the Fish and Wildlife
!!
Coordination Act? If yes, describe any impacts and steps taken to avoid, minimize, or
mitigate impacts.
There are no resources protected by the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act in the
project area.
YESNO
Are there any wetlands or other waters of the U.S. in or near the project area?
WithersRavenel (WR) environmental scientists conducted a field survey of the project
area and adjacent areas on 10/28/20 for the purpose of evaluating the presence of
wetlands, streams and surface waters jurisdictional to the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, as well as wetlands not
jurisdictional to the USACE (isolated), which are jurisdictional to the NC Division of
Water Resources (NCDWR) under the NC Isolated Wetland and Waters Rules.
The project area contains two wetlands and one stream which are subject to
jurisdiction by the USACE under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and subject
to jurisdiction by the NCDWR under Section 401 of the CWA. The review area does not
contain any isolated wetlands or streams jurisdictional to the NCDWR under the NC
Isolated Wetlands and Waters Rules. Please see Appendix D for WR report.
Has wetland delineation been completed within the proposed project area? If yes,
please provide U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) correspondence and
jurisdictional determination. If delineation was not completed, was a field check done
to confirm the presence/absence of wetlands or other waters of the U.S.? If no to
both, please explain what methods were used to determine the presence/absence of
wetlands.
The site review identified two wetlands (Wetlands A & B) within the Runway 19
review area. Jurisdictional limits of the wetlands were delineated using sequentially

mapping grade Trimble Geo7X GPS unit and the collected data was used to prepare
the attached Wetland Location Exhibit. Please see Appendix D for WR report.

If wetlands are present, will the project result in impacts, directly or indirectly
(including tree clearing)? Describe any steps taken to avoid, minimize or mitigate the
impact.
Construction of the Runway 19 parallel taxiway will result impacts to Wetland A, and
therefore will require authorization from the USACE or NCDWR. Permanent impacts to
Wetland A are anticipated to be less than 0.50 acres, and therefore would be
permitted under a USACE Nationwide Permit (NWP). The proposed activities
immediately adjacent to Wetland B consists of rehabilitation of existing pavement and
disturbance to Wetland B is not anticipated.
The site review identified one stream (Stream 1) which is located within Wetland A.
Based on the location of the parallel taxiway connection to Runway 19, impacts to
Stream 1 is not anticipated.Please see Appendix D for WR report.
Is a USACE Clean Water Act Section 404 permit required? If yes, does the project fall
within the parameters of a general permit? If so, which general permit?
The project area contains two wetlands and one stream which are subject to
jurisdiction by the USACE under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and subject
to jurisdiction by the NCDWR under Section 401 of the CWA. The review area does not
contain any isolated wetlands or streams jurisdictional to the NCDWR under the NC
Isolated Wetlands and Waters Rules.
Construction of the Runway 19 parallel taxiway will result in impacts to Wetland A,
and therefore will require authorization from the USACE and NCDWR. Permanent
