' ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENT
Plymouth Municipal Airport
' Plymouth, North Carolina
DELTA PROJECT NO. E005-303-1

1.0 PURPOSE AND NEED
' 1.11NTRODUCTION
' This Environmental Assessment was performed to support the efforts of the Town of Plymouth, NC to
upgrade their existing airport and facilities. Several alternatives were reviewed but the upgrades selected
as the most feasible include:
• 1,800 feet Extension to Runway 3/21 to the south
• 1,000 feet of Safety Overrun
• Redevelopment of the Terminal Area
' Installation of Instrument or GPS Landing Systems
A copy of the conceptual plan and layout provided by the Town of Plymouth is provided in Appendix A
' (Drawing No. 2), Maps & Drawings, for reference.
' This project will provide strategic improvements to Plymouth Municipal Airport (PMZ) that will directly result
in a significant increase in new businesses, job creation and flight operations and make Plymouth,
' Washington County and eastern North Carolina much more attractive to new industry. This strategy
creates an important economic tool for the industrial/commercial development in eastern North Carolina. A
critical requirement for industry is direct access to public-use (general aviation) airports for their business.
' The primary objective is to create new jobs for Plymouth, Washington County and eastern North Carolina.
Historically, and also present day, a viable public-use airport will effectively create an expansion in industry
and related new job growth which Plymouth, (Washington County is a Tier I county), and eastern North
Carolina, urgently need.
' Plymouth has the sixth highest poverty rate in the state, at 37.5%. Of the 478 towns and cities in North
Carolina, there are only five other towns that have a higher poverty rate. Current population is 4,107 with
65% k~eing minority and a median household income of only $17,281. Plymouth is located in Washington
County which is rated as a Tier 1 county or one of the i7~os1 economically depressed areas in North

Carolina. Counties are ranked from Tier 1 which is the most economically distressed to Tier 5 which are
' the most prosperous.
' Plymouth is located in the Northwestern portion of Washington County in eastern North Carolina. The
Plymouth Municipal Airport is located approximately 20 nautical miles east of Williamston, North Carolina
on Highway 64. The Plymouth Municipal Airport (PMZ) is located approximately 2 miles south of the Town
' of Plymouth with a single 3,700 feet runway aligned southwest-northeast (Runway 3/21).
' The Town of Plymouth has two major goals driving the project objectives. These are:
• Actively solicit businesses for job growth
• Become aself-supporting airport authority by:
o Increasing fuel sales
' o Owning and renting the airport hangars
o Recruiting and expanding aircraft related businesses
' The overall objective is to modernize Plymouth Municipal Airport to rovide su ort for economic rowth
p PP 9
' and job creation. The modernization would facilitate the creation of new commerce and associated jobs.
The proposed rehabilitation and modernization would provide an overall runway length of 5,500 feet after
providing 1,800 feet of runway extension. It is estimated that 80% of all US-based aircraft could safely use
t . the proposed runway configuration. The modernization would benefit all aircraft operations at the facility
including those involving:
' Corporate travelers
' Commuters
• Tourists
• Private individuals
1
Approximately 12 general aviation aircraft are currently based and operate from Plymouth Municipal Airport
' and there is an average of 122 aircraft operations per week. Forty-seven percent (47%) of these
operations are transient, 47% is local general aviation, 4% is air Taxi, and 1 % is military (data from
AirNav.com). This indicates that much of the aircraft operations are due to transient traffic find the location
and facilities useful and necessary as they travel through the area. General growth expectations indicate
that the number of PMZ-based aircraft will reach 38 within 20 years, however, current airport committee
plans are to actively solicit aircraft owners with a goal of 50 or more PMZ based aircraft within 5 years.
1 leis is an average of £3 per year which the airport committee believes to be attainable. Lengthening of the

runway and adding facilities including instrument landing systems could significantly increase the number
' of transient aircraft operations.
' A national trend involving increased business flying has resulted in a larger proportion of aircraft operations
being conducted by larger aircraft. This growth trend is expected to continue throughout the forecast
period (approximately 20 years) which will impact the potential for business/commercial growth at Plymouth
Municipal Airport. The general proximity of Plymouth Municipal Airport to mid-Atlantic vacation resort
destinations is also likely to continue to increase general aviation operations as families and business
' people travel to these destinations. Additionally, existing manufacturing facilities that are owned by major
corporations will be able to use their corporate jets to access the Plymouth area with the new runway and
' facilities in place. Examples are Weyerhaeuser and Carolina Mat Inc
The proposed upgrades to the Plymouth Municipal Airport, a public use airport, will have several benefits
i that support the overall goals.
' Connects Plymouth Municipal Airport with the National Transportation Network -The existing facilities
provide a connection to the national transportation network for a limited portion of the general aviation
' community. The proposed upgrades and expansions will allow Plymouth Municipal Airport to service
and capture a larger proportion of this market.
' Provide Positive Impact on Our Overall Economy -The Plymouth area supports a small community of
businesses that include general small business firms, motels and restaurants, tourism and logging.
' Plymouth Municipal Airport will provide the existing as well as new businesses more opportunity to
expand and explore new markets and business ventures.
• Facilitate Emergency Assistance - As the healthcare industry reconfigures to meet new economic
realities, small communities such as Plymouth Municipal Airport could find it difficult to continue to
' provide adequate healthcare. The proposed upgrades would allow healthcare professionals access to
quicker and more effective ways to transport emergency or critically ill patients to facilities that offer
more sophisticated technology or medical professionals with appropriate specialties. The location of
Plymouth Municipal Airport near the coast places it uniquely to respond to national emergencies such
as hurricanes, floods, and forest fires. The proposed upgrades would provide a suitable location for
organizations such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Red Cross, or Homeland
Security to set up operations.
EducationlRecreation -Upgrades facilities will Improve the opportunities available for the training of
pilots, nu,chanics, and repair professionals as reel! as provido opportunit,~ for ~;~ori flyinci acGvitie~_

Environmental Site Assessment
Plymouth Municipal Airport
Plymouth, North Carolina
Delta Project No. E005-303
Page 4 of 24
The project corridor is located in Plymouth, North Carolina, approximately 0.6 mile east of the State
Highway 1100 -State Highway 1104 intersection (see location map, enclosed). This project involves the
expansion of the existing airport to include 1,800 feet of new runway, full-length parallel and connecting
taxiways, lighting improvements, apron expansion, drainage improvements, security fencing, automated
weather observations station (AWOS), approaches and added hangar space. The following report
provides the necessary documentation to address the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
categories in accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) NEPA requirements as
outlined in FAA Executive Order 5050.4.
1.2 PURPOSE
Aviation growth at the Plymouth Municipal Airport will render many of the existing facilities inadequate with
respect to runway safety, Federal Aviation Administration standards and guidelines and homeland security.
This environmental assessment is intended to evaluate the extension of Runway 3/21, with a safety
overrun of 1,000 feet, redevelopment of the terminal area and installation of instrument or GPS landing
system located on the end of Runway 21 and Runway 3.
1.3 NEED
Continued increases in the level of operations and the size of aircraft at Plymouth Municipal Airport, along
with changes in Federal Aviation Administration requirements, will necessitate the extension of the Runway
3121 by 1,800 feet. This would bring the existing length from 3,700 feet to 5,500 feet. An extended runway
safety area (ERSA) is also necessary to provide safety for aviators, passengers, and people on the ground
and to bring the Airport up to current FAA standards. (Refer to Table 1 for Projected Operations and
Based Aircraft and Table 2 for operation by aircraft type). The extended runway safety area enhances the
safety for airplanes with mechanical problems, undershoot, overrun or veer off the runway end. It also
provides greater accessibility for firefighting and rescue equipment should that be necessary. The
extended runway safety area is a cleared, drained, graded and turfed area symmetrically located about the
extended runway centerline and adjacent to the end of the runway safety area. Its length is approximately
1,000 feet from the existing runway end, measured along the extended runway centerline; the width is 400
feet. The extended runway safety area will be accommodated on existing airport property with additional
land acquisitions necessary.

' NOTES: Based on general estimated growth between 3 and 6 % in most categories from current base with some mix adjustments.
Expect that the fleet mix will change to more complex aircraft as business interests are served more frequently. Assume 2% growth
for single-engine, doubling in 1s' five years for jet, then 6% growth. Assumes turbine traffic increases dramatically and doubles each
five year period due to small business growth (e.g.,King Airs). For similar reason, expect twin piston traffic to increase dramatically as
small business base grows.
1.4 GA PILOTSIPASSENGERS
' According to surveys prepared by the U.S. Department of Transportation, supplemented by data obtained
by the Consultant, it was determined that the average number of occupants (including pilots) per departure
for general aviation aircraft is 2.0 It is expected that as business and executive flying continues to become
increasingly important, the number of occupants per departure will increase, and thereby increase the need
for expansion. The ultimate development plans for the terminal areas are as follows:

The navigational facilities and lighting at Plymouth Municipal Airport are generally adequate to provide
straight-in non-precision approaches to the Airport. The approach instrumentation will be adequate once a
full Instrument Landing System (ILS), with approach lights, is provided. Instrument approaches are
published for Plymouth Municipal Airport as follows:
RUNWAY TYPE APPROACH

21 GPS
Notes: GPS -Global Positioning System
NBD -Non-Directional Beacon
Although there are adequate facilities for "all weather" operation of the Airport, certain improvements are
suggested to enhance the operational efficiency and safety of the Airport. Drawing No. 6, located in Appendix
A, is a key map which illustrates the planned development areas for the airport. Drawing 4b, located in
Appendix A, (or Inner Portion of the Approach Surface Drawing {R/W 21}) shows the planned Runway 3/21
extension as well as the extended runway safety area.

ALTERNATIVES
Several alternative concepts to extending Runway 3/21, extending the Runway Safety Area, expanding the
terminal facilities and implementing the Glide Slope were considered. In each case, the alternatives were
not considered to be viable or appropriate for PMZ. The alternatives are presented and discussed as
follows:
2.1 EXTENDED RUNWAY SAFETY AREA
Alternative A: Extending Runway 3121 and the Safety Area northward.
Alternative B: Relocate the Airport.
Alternative C: No project.
' Alternative A: The first concept is the extension of the Runway 3/21 an additional 1,800 feet, as well as
extension of the Runway Safety Area 1,000 feet to the north. This is an alternative to the extension of 3/21
' toward the south.
' Extending Runway 3/21 northward would require the airport authority to purchase significant amounts of land
and is considered to not be economically feasible.
Alternative B: Relocating Plymouth Municipal Airport. This alternative is not realistic. Several hundred acres
of land would need to be acquired, cleared and new facilities be constructed. Environmental impact would be
significantly higher with this alternative. This alternative is not prudent or cost effective given the extent of the
existing facilities.
S Alternative C: The "No Project" option would preserve the existing natural environment in the vicinity of the
airport. This alternative is not consistent with the need to upgrade to meet Federal Aviation Administration
requirements. It is believed that growth in aircraft operations will continue with or without this project. Safety
to the general aviation community and the surrounding area will become increasingly important if this
' alternative is selected. Therefore, the "No Project" alternative is not viable
In reviewing the above options, it becomes clear that the proposed expansion on the airport property is the
only economically feasible and viable option at this time.

2.2 PROVIDING ADDITIONAL HANGARS AND APRON SPACE
Alternative A: "No Project"
' Alternative A: The "No Project" alternative would preserve the existing natural environment. However, the
"No Project" alternative is inconsistent with the ultimate plans for PMZ. Without the expanded apron, it will be
difficult to accommodate business growth and ultimately become self supporting. Development of facilities to
accommodate this activity is of paramount importance. Therefore this alternative is not viable.
With limited options to consider, the proposed expansion on the existing property makes the most sense.
' 2.3 PROVIDE AN ILS GLIDE SLOPE
t Alternative A: Install Glide Slope for Runway 21.
Alternative B: GPS with new minimums
Alternative C: "No Project"
' Alternative A: Provide a Glide Slope unit for Runway 21 or new GPS Landing System. The Glide Slope or
GPS Landing System will provide improved guidance and increase safety for aircraft flying into PMZ.
' Alternative B: A glide slope (ILS) for either runway 3 or 21 would be desirable. However the implementation
of GPS Approaches for runways 3 and 21 will likely negate the benefits of an ILS System since GPS
Approaches do not require any installation of equipment on the airport.
Alternative C: Due to the limited available locations of the Glide Slope unit the other alternative would be "No
Project". The "No Project" option would limit the future navigational safety of the airfield, which makes this
' alternative inappropriate. All of the proposed development will occur on property currently owned by the
Airport Authority.
In review of the three options indicated above, it appears that the option that is currently being proposed
makes the most sense.

' 3.0 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT
' The proposed project area located entirely on existing airport property is compatible with the existing land use
of the immediate area. Adjacent land is primarily agricultural with places of low density rural residential.
Planned land use of the area recognizes the airport remaining consistent with the airport improvement
program. All planned development items considered in this assessment are contained within the boundaries
of existing property. The planned development items will not affect any residential areas, roadways, or other
' known planned activities in the immediate vicinity of the project area.
Drawing No. 2 (located in Appendix A) Airport Layout Drawing, shows an airport layout plan sketch which
illustrates the proposed development.
Table 1 lists nearby places of public assembly such as schools, hospitals, shopping areas and adjacent
political jurisdictions located within two miles of the airport. Analyzing U.S. Geological Survey Maps, one
church, one gas station, and one pharmacy are located within two miles of the Airport area.
There are no secondary impacts (which are relevant to population, industrial or commercial growth
characteristics of the area) associated with the projects included in this assessment.
' 3.1 POPULATION
Historical population levels, 1960-2000 and projected population levels, 2005-2015, are presented in Table 2.
It appears that Washington County's population growth is expected to decline slightly in the next few years.
The expansion of Plymouth Municipal Airport will effectively create an expansion in industry and related new
job growth which Plymouth, and eastern North Carolina, which is urgently needed according to these
projections.
3.2 CONTEMPLATED FUTURE ACTIONS
There are no other planned or developed activities in the affected area which is interrelated to the proposal
and/or which would produce cumulative impacts. However, according to the Washington County Manager's
office, there is a conceptual plan to build an industrial park on the adjacent property, contingent on the airport
expansion project outcome.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
' In accordance with FAA order 5050.4A "Airport Environmental Handbook" there ar
e twenty items which are
addressed in this section relating to potential environmental impacts of the proposed extended runway, safety
area, planned terminal area expansion and Glide Scope installation for the Plymouth Municipal Airport. Most
of the information contained in this section is based on coordination with various Federal, State and local
' agencies and information contained in a previously prepared environmental assessment. Documentation,
when relevant to the ensuing discussion, is contained in the Appendices. Individual cites, when appropriate,
' are noted for ease of reference.
' 4.1 NOISE
This EA evaluates potential changes to existing noise environments that would result from implementation of
the alternatives. Construction and aircraft operation noise and its potential impacts on nearby receivers are
' addressed. Impacts would be considered significant if there were expected long-term increases in the
number of people highly annoyed by the noise environment, noise associated adverse health effects to
' individuals, or unacceptable increases to the noise environment for sensitive receptors. Sensitive receptor are
considered any person or group of persons in an environment where low noise levels would be expected,
such as schools, daycares, hospitals, and nursing homes.
One measure of noise that is referenced in this document is Ldn. Ldn is a weighted 24 hour average of sound
energy that takes into time of day the noise is encountered into account. Late night and early morning (10:00
p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) noise exposures are penalized 10 decibels, to account for people's greater sensitivity to
sound during the nighttime hours.
4.1.1 Alternative A (Runway Extension)
Implementation of Alternative A would have a minor temporary impact on the noise environment due to
construction activities. Due to the limited size and scope of the proposed action, no ongoing impacts due to
changes in aircraft operations would be anticipated. Implementing Alternative A would have a minor increase
in the levels of noise within the immediate project areas through the use of construction equipment. However,
the sound would attenuate rapidly with distance from the site and the overall noise environment with respect
to sensitive receptors would be the same as if no construction were taking place.
4.1.1.1 Construction
Construction activities would occur for periods of B hours a day, Monday through Saturday. The primary
sources of construction noise would be due to the use of soil moving units, heavy trucks, and additional lighf
construction equipment. Overall construction noise was estimated based on typical period of use and
mechanical load (Thalheimer 2000).

During construction, the estimated distance necessary to attenuate the overall noise environment to a
level compatible with most land uses (Ldn 65) is S00 feet from the airport boundary (Figure 4-1). No
sensitive receptors would be located within 500 feet of the airport boundary. Therefore, no sensitive
receptors would notice a significant change in the overall noise environment during construction.
Periodically the construction equipment may be audible at distances greater that 500 feet from the airport
boundary, but there would be no significantly noticeable change in the overall noise environment. Brief
acoustical events could occur and have minor effects on speech intelligibility by way of brief and
unnoticeable interruptions in communication. Due to the times of construction site operations, no sleep
awakenings would be expected. In general, the average reaction of receptors to the noise environment
would be the same as if no construction were taking place.

Construction noise is expected to be perceptible and dominate the soundscape for all on-site personnel.
Construction personnel, and particularly equipment operators, would don adequate personal hearing
protection to limit exposure and ensure compliance with federal health and safety regulations. Provisions
would be included in the plans and specifications that require the contractor to make every reasonable
effort to minimize construction noise through abatement measures such as work-hour controls and proper
maintenance of muffler systems.

4.1.1.2 Aircraft Operations
The forecasted aircraft operations for the period covered by this EA do not exceed 90,000 annual adjusted
propeller operations or 700 annual adjusted jet operations. Based on the latest modeling technology, these
limited numbers of propeller aircraft operations result in cumulative noise levels not exceeding 60 Ldn more
than 5,500 feet from start of takeoff roll or 65 Ldn on the runway itself. In addition, the limited increases in jet
operations would not produce a 60 Ldn contour using this method (FAA 1985). Cessna Citation 500, the
Gates Learjet 35A, and any other jet aircraft producing equivalent or less levels of noise are quieter than many
propeller aircraft under 12,500 pounds and therefore could be counted as propeller aircraft rather than jet
' aircraft. This substitution would have no change on the expected outcome of the noise analysis. No need for
mitigation measures existing or planned to minimize noise impacts would be anticipated with the
implementation of Alternative A.
4.1.2 Alternative C (No Action Alternative)
' Selecting the no action alternative would result in no impact to the ambient noise environment. No
construction would be undertaken and no changes in aircraft operations would be expected. Ambient noise
conditions would remain as described in Section 4.1.1.
4.2 COMPATIBLE LAND USE
The proposed expansion area is on property currently owned by the Plymouth Municipal Airport. No land use
ramifications, such as disruption of communities, relocation of residences or businesses, or natural resource
areas will occur as a result of runway expansion. The proposed project is not located near nor will it create a
wildlife hazard as defined in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5200-33, "Wildlife Hazards on and near Airports". The
result of this project will not create any impact that may exceed the thresholds of significance with any other
category related to compatible land use (examples include: disruption of communities, relocation, induced
~. socioeconomic impacts, wetlands, floodplains, coastal zones, critical habitat of endangered or threatened
species). In addition, there is no significant noise impact associated with this project. Thus, there is no need
for additional analysis on the effects on land use for this project.
' 4.3 SOCIAL IMPACTS
The proposed project would not involve the need to relocate any residence or business; alter surface
transportation patterns; divide or disrupt established communities; disrupt orderly, planned development; or
create an appreciable change in employment. Because this project would not create any negative impacts on
the categories listed above, no specific analysis is needed.

4.4 INDUCED SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACTS
The planned expansion will occur on property owned by the Plymouth Municipal Airport. Because of this
there is no expectation that any shifts in patterns of population movement and growth and public service
demands will occur. Changes in business and economic activity are expected to be gradual and not create
any significant induced socioeconomic impacts. In addition there will be no significant impacts to noise, land
use, or direct social impacts. Therefore additional analysis is not needed for this assessment.
4.5 AIR QUALITY
Assessment of air quality impact form the volume of aircraft emissions by aircraft type predicted to use
Plymouth Municipal Airport is not necessary in accordance with FAA Order 5050.4A, "Airport Environmental
Handbook", Chapter 5, paragraph 47e(5)(c)1. The Airport is classified "general aviation" with forecasts of
18,740 operations in the twenty-year scenario. A level of 180,000 total operations is required before an air
quality analysis must be performed for this category of airport.
4.6 WATER QUALITY
On July 15, 2002, Delta Environmental Consultants, Inc. contacted the following individuals at the agencies
listed to verify that the proposed project would not impact water quality, including groundwater, surface water
bodies, and/or any public water supply system:

4.7 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ACT, SECTION 4(F) LANDS
This section provides that the Department of Transportation shall not approve any project which requires the
use of any publicly owned land from a public park, recreation area or wildlife and waterfowl refuge of state and
local significance, or land of a historic site of national state or local significance, except when there is no
alternative to using such land and the project includes all possible planning to minimize harm resulting from
the use.
There are no public recreational areas or parks affected by the proposed projects at the airport.
4.8 HISTORIC, ARCHITECTURAL, ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on November 17, 2005 to determine
the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by
the project. In a letter dated January 4, 2006 (Appendix B, Attachment A), the SHPO stated that they "are
aware of no historic resources that would be affected by the project and have no comment on the project as
proposed."
4.9 BIOTIC COMMUNITIES (60TH FLORA AND FAUNA)
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Natural
Heritage Program (NCNHP) by Delta Environmental Consultants, Inc. to determine the presence of rare
species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas that would be affected by the project. In a
letter dated July 25, 2002 (Appendix B, Attachment B), the NCNHP stated that they "have no record of rare
species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas at the site or within a mile of the site." The
airport facility is considered publicly-owned land and this runway expansion will not affect any publicly-owned
wildlife or waterfowl refuge of local, state, or national significance.
4.10 ENDANGERED AND THREATENED SPECIES OF FLORA AND FAUNA
A protected species survey was conducted to determine the potential for the occurrence of animal and plant
species formally proposed or listed as endangered or threatened by current Federal regulations [Federal
Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)] within the proposed project area. The assessment
consisted of a literature and records search, and a pedestrian survey perfonr~ed by Carolina Weiland
Services, Inc. (CWS) biologist Gregg Antemann, PWS on April 7, 2003. The literature review included
searching databases and literature available through the Noi~h Carolina Natural I-leritage Program (NCNi-iP),
the Ui~iied St~;tcs I-i_~h~ anti ~Nildlife Sewice (USI 11~S), the Ur~itcd ~i~tce i~eparimeni of Agriculli_n~ Naturr:l

Resource Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS), as well as other independent sources. The NCNHP
' database indicates that five federally-endangered species are known to occur in Washington County, North
Carolina'. The five species include:
• Red wolf (Canis rufus)
• Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
' Rafinesque's big-eared bat (Corynorhinus rafinesquii)
• American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
• Waccamaw killifish -Lake Phelps population (Fundulus waccamensis population 2).
Federal Species of Concern (FSC) are not legally protected under the Act unless they are formally pro osed
or listed as endangered or threatened. However, because they may become formally proposed orpisted
during the construction of this project, they were included in this survey. After completion of an on-site habitat
assessment, it was determined that there is not sufficient habitat in the project area for any of the listed
species. Brief descriptions of each federally-listed species recorded within Washington County, North
Carolina are summarized below.
Red wolf (Canis rufus)
The red wolf is a Significantly Rare (SR) species in North Carolina and listed as Federally
Endangered, with a nonessential experimental population (EXN). The species is amedium-sized,
wild canid that resembles a coyote. However, the red wolf is larger and more robust. Its legs and
ears are relatively longer than the coyote's. The red wolfs coloration is similar to that of the coyote,
but the tawny element is more pronounced. Its habitat is restricted to swamps and pocosins in the
coastal plain and extensive forests in the mountains in North Carolina.
Biological conclusion: Given the results of the literature search and field investigation, it is not likely
that this species or its habitat is present within the proposed project area.
' Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucoce halus
p )
The bald eagle is listed as Threatened (T) both federally and in North Carolina. It is a large raptor
with a characteristic adult plumage consisting of a white head and tail with a dark brown body. Its
habitat consists of mature forests near large bodies of water for nesting and lakes and sounds for
' both nesting sites and non breeding sites. Bald eagles are found in the piedmont, coastal plain, and
tidewater physiographic provinces.

Biological conclusion: Given the results of the literature search and field investigation, it is not likely
that this species or its habitat is present within the proposed project area.
Rafinesque's big-eared bat (Corynorhinus rafinesqui~)
Rafinesque's big-eared bat is a species that is Threatened (T) in North Carolina and a Federal
Species of Concern (FSC). It is a bat with very large ears and ventral hairs that are black at the base
and white at the tips. It roosts in old buildings, caves, and mines, usually near water. This species
inhabits forested regions in the mountains, sandhills, and coastal plain regions of North Carolina. In
' the Coastal Plain they are suspected to use hollow trees for cold weather, and possibly winter roosts
Biological conclusion: Given the results of the literature search and field investigation, it is not likely
that this species or its habitat is present within the proposed project area.
Waccamaw killifish -Lake Phelps Population (Fundulus waccamensis population 2)
The Waccamaw killifish -Lake Phelps Population is listed as a species of Special Concern (SC) in
North Carolina and a (FSC) Federal Species of Concern. The species is known only to Lake Phelps
in Washington County, North Carolina where probably introduced through its use as fishing bait.
Population 1 is found in Lake Waccamaw in Columbus County in North Carolina. They are thought to
be distinct species. The species occurs over sand in lakes, near and away from shoreline and is
often found near vegetation.
1 Biological conclusion: Given the results of the literature search and field investigation, it is not likely
that this species or its habitat is present within the proposed project area.
American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
American alligator is listed as Threatened (T) in North Carolina and Threatened due to Similarity of
Appearance T (S/A) Federally. The species is a large, lizard-like reptile with a broadly rounded snout.
The adults average six to 12 feet long and can reach lengths of 15 or more feet. They are blackish in
appearance, but have pale crossbands on the back and vertical markings on the sides. It inhabits
fresh and brackish marshes, ponds, lakes, rivers, swamps, bayous, large spring runs in the coastal
plain and tidewater regions.
Biological conclusion: Given the results of the literature search and field investigation, ii is not likely
that this species or its habitat is presenf within the proposed project area.

' 4.11 WETLANDS
On November 3, 2005, CWS's Ron Johnson, WPIT and Matt Jenkins delineated jurisdictional waters of the
U.S. within the project corridor. Jurisdictional areas were delineated using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USAGE) Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers
Wetlands Delineation Manual.2 Jurisdictional stream channels were classified according to USAGE guidance.
These classifications included sampling with a D-shaped dip net, taking photographs, and defining
approximate breakpoints (location at which a channel changes classification) within each on-site stream
' channel (Appendix B, Attachment C).
The results of the on-site field investigations conducted by CWS indicate that there are four potential
jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A - D) and six potential jurisdictional wetland areas (Wetlands AA -
FF) located within the project corridor (Appendix B, Figure 1). Potential jurisdictional waters include unnamed
tributaries to Conaby Creek. Conaby Creek is within the Roanoke River basin (HU# 030101073) and is rated
"Class C -swamp waters" by the NCDWQ. Potential on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. total
approximately 4.79 acres (208,652.4 square feet) and are summarized in Table 5.

Stream A - D were determined to be jurisdictional drainage ditches due to off-site surface water connections
1 with Conaby Creek. These channels were evaluated to be perennial and exhibited average ordinary high
water widths of 10-12 feet (Streams A - C) and 4-6 feet (Stream D), displayed significant aquatic life and
perennial flow. These channels scored 45 out of a possible 100 points on the USACE Stream Quality
Assessment Form and 30 out of 71 possible points on the NCDWO Stream Classification Form (Appendix B,
SCP1). There are approximately 12,689 linear feet of perennial drainage ditches within the project corridor.
Photographs of Perennial Streams A and C are enclosed as Photographs A and B (Appendix B), respectively.
' Wetland AA is an herbaceous wetland area located at the northern portion of the project corridor and is
approximately 1.2 acre in size (Figure 1, enclosed). This wetland area is hydrologically connected to
Perennial Stream D. Dominant vegetation includes soft stem rush (Juncus effusus), giant river cane
(Arundinaria gigantea), knotweed (Polygonum lapathifolium), bushy bluestem (Andropogon glomeratus), and
laurel greenbriar (Smilax laurifolia). This area exhibited gleyed (Gley 1 2.5N) and low chroma soils (5Y 5/1 ),
mottles (7.5YR 5/6), inundation, and saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile. A Routine On-
Site Determination Form representing this area is enclosed (DP1).

Wetlands BB - DD and FF are linear wetland systems located in the central and southern portion of the
project corridor (Appendix B, Figure 1). These wetland areas exhibited similar hydrophytic vegetation and
gleyed and low chroma soils to Wetland AA, as well as saturation in the upper 12 inches of the soil profile
(DP1).
Wetland EE is an herbaceous wetland area located in the southeast portion of the project corridor. Dominant
vegetation includes soft stem rush, knotweed, and bushy bluestem. This wetland area displayed similar
hydric soil indicators as Wetland AA as well as inundation and saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil
profile (DP1). A photograph of Wetland EE is enclosed as Photograph D (Appendix B). A Routine On-Site
Determination Form representative of on-site, non-jurisdictional upland areas has been included (DP2).
4.12 FLOODPLAINS
No portion of the project corridor is located within a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
regulated floodplain (Appendix B, Attachment D -Figures 2 and 3). The nearest FEMA regulated floodplain
is located approximately % mile west of the proposed project, adjacent to Welch Creek Tributary. Therefore,
development activities of the proposed project will not have an impact on FEMA regulated areas.
4.13 COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
A letter was forvdarded to the Noi~h Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR)
Division of Coastal Management on November 22, 2005 to deiennine if tine proposed airport expansion is
located within an Aie~r of Enviroi~~mentai Concern any, ~~,~ould regiin, ,,rnniis per the Coastal Are~~

Management Act (CAMA) or the State's Dredge and Fill Law. In a response letter, dated December 1, 2005
(Appendix B, Attachment E), the Division of Coastal Management stated they "have determined that the
project will not occur within an Area of Environmental Concern as designated by the Coastal Resources
Commission. Therefore, no permits are required from this Division for construction of the aforementioned
airport expansion."
4.14 COASTAL BARRIERS
CWS consulted the FEMA Coastal Resource Barrier Communities database for North Carolina to determine if
' the proposed project is located within a Coastal Barrier Resource System. This database was last updated
October 22, 2004. According to FEMA, there are no Coastal Resource Barrier Communities located within
Washington County; therefore construction of this project will have no impact on any Coastal Resource Barrier
Communities.
r 4.15 WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS
CINS consulted the National Park Service's (NPS) National Wild and Scenic River (1NSR) System database
for North Carolina to determine if the proposed project is located within a National Scenic Waterway. This
database was last updated in early 2005. According to NPS, on-site jurisdictional waters are not located
within nor proximity to a waterway designated as a WSR, therefore construction of this project will have no
. impact on any National WSR.
4.16 FARMLAND
The criteria used for prime and unique farmlands are published in the Natural Resource Conservation Service
L (NRCS) National Soil Survey Handbook. Criteria for farmland of statewide importance were developed in
1988 by the North Carolina (NRCS) State Soils staff in consultation with soil survey cooperators, resource
conservations, and key soil survey customers. They are summarized on the NRCS-North Carolina website.
On-Site soils consist of Portsmouth fine sandy loam (Pt). The Portsmouth series is typically very poor)
Y
drained and exhibit moderate to rapid permeability in the underlying materials. The current land use is a
municipal airport and landing strip. The land directly adjacent to the runway is drained to provide dry
conditions for an emergency landing. Portsmouth fine sandy loam is considered prime farmland if drained.
No farming activities are currently taking place on or adjacent to the airport. This land was converted to a
municipal airport, so there will be no conversion of prime farmland and the project will require no coordination
under the Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA).
' 4.17 ENERGY SUPPLY AND NATURAL RESOURCES

encompass major changes in stationary facilities which would have a measurable effect on local supplies nor
' would the action of the project add appreciably to access time or substantially change movement patterns for
on airport service or other vehicles. This project would not involve a need for unusual materials or those in
short supply, changes in energy or other natural resource consumption that would result in significant impacts,
or changes in aircraft or ground vehicle use which would greatly increase fuel consumption or require the
substantial use of natural resources in short supply. The impacts that this project poses to energy supply and
' natural resources will not be significant.
4,18 LIGHT EMISSIONS
The location of the proposed ex ansion ro~
P p fect, as well as the planned lighting system, would not have the
potential for airport-related lighting impacts on nearby residents. Being that the applications of this project are
not any thing unusual or out of the ordinary, it has been concluded that no significant impact would occur with
this project.
4.19 SOLID WASTE
' The proposed actions of this project would not possess a direct relationship to solid waste collection, control,
or disposal other than that associated with the construction itself (reference Construction Impacts and
Activities). Furthermore this project will not be located near any existing solid waste facility that could result in
t risks from wildlife or radar tracking hazards related to any landfill.
' 4.20 CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS
Primary construction related impacts anticipated to occur pertain directly to the extended runway safety area,
hangar development area and borrow areas. All borrow area will be avoid of wetland areas. Efforts will be
taken to mitigate any noise, dust or erosion during construction.

Noise from Construction-Construction noise from paving equipment and the clearing during site preparation
is generally inoffensive to surrounding areas unless the equipment is imprudently used. No blasting is
expected to be required. Construction equipment wilt make noise similar to that of various farm implements
used in the surrounding fields. Rural location of the sire makes the noise generated from construction even
more unlikely to severely disturb residential areas. Thus, the effects of airport construction noise should be
unnoticeable. This means a noise control program is inessential.
Impact on Flora and Fauna from Construction-It has been shown that the area of impact is only the
construction area itself. Undoubtedly, some animals which inhabit the construction area will be dislodged,
thus causing permanent loss.

Delta Project No. E005-303
Page 22 of 24
Air Pollution from Construction-Construction equipment during the implementation of the various proposals
' is not expected to produce any problems with regard to air pollution, as it will be a short-term duration. Open
burning of debris is to be avoided. However if open woodland burning is required, a regular burning permit,
G.S. 113-60.24, would apply for Plymouth according to the North Carolina Division of Forest Resources.
Construction specifications will include the provisions stated in the FAA Advisory circular 120/5370-10.
Prevention practices, such as offsite disposal, sodding and antidust soil dampening will be instituted if a
' problem does develop.
The contractor shall remain in the designated construction area and abide by equipment haul roads as located
on the design plans, as to avoid damaging forestland outside the construction areas.
All erosion control methods will be installed before construction begins. An erosion and sedimentation control
plan will be developed and submitted during the design phases of the planned projects before any land
disturbing activity is commenced. All erosion and sediment control methods will avoid being placed in
wetlands.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES
This environmental assessment addresses the potential effects imposed on the nearby environment as a
result of implementing the various airport development projects scheduled for Plymouth Municipal Airport. The
extension of Runway 3/21 and the associated Runway Safety Area, the hangar/apron development and the
installation of the Glide Slope are the primary airport items evaluated for specific environmental impacts.
There are no apparent conflicts between the proposed action and the objectives of Federal, State and Local
Land use plans, policies, programs and controls for the areas concerned. The proposal is consistent with
plans, goals, policies and controls that have been adopted for the area in which the airport is located. There
are no known inconsistencies of the proposed action with any approved state of local plan and laws.
The means to mitigate adverse environmental impacts are included in the Impacts Section and are important
in judging the significance of an impact. This assessment supports the finding that is proposed action will
include all possible steps to minimize any adverse effects. There should be no controversy on environmental
grounds. No permitting difficulties are anticipated.
Direct impacts expected to affect near airport environs necessitate disturbing approximately 20 acres of
grassland for the runway and safety area extension as well as the glide slope area. The terminal expansion
area will impact mostly grassland; however a small portion of the area is wooded. The Glide Slope area
should not impact the creek which is approximately 500 feet from the end of Runway 21.
Floodplain impacts are not a problem. As illustrated on the FEMA flood maps, neither construction project or
borrow area are located in any flood prone areas.
Remaining environmental impacts addressed in the FAA Airport Environmental Handbook that are subject to
an assessment are either non-applicable or are expected to occur within acceptable limits.
In accordance with FAA Order 5050.4A, an advertisement for the opportunity for a public hearing was
published in the Roanoke Beacon on August 21, 2006. This period for public comment was made available for
a minimum of 30 days following the publication of the advertisement. A copy of the advertisement language
can be found in Appendix D.
In conclusion, this environmental assessment has not uncovered any significant environmental impact which
cannot be mitigated. All permits and studies which might be necessitated as a result of the review and
implementation of the findings in Phis assessi~~ent will be complied with, and efforts fo minimize any identified
impacts will he completed prior to any construction.

Dear Mr. Brabble:
Carolnna Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) is submitting Sections A-1 of the Environmental Assessment
(EA) for the Plymouth Municipal Ailpol-t Expansion Project. The project coln-idor is located in
Plymouth, Nol-th Carolina, approximately 0.6 mile east of the State Highway 1100 -State Highway
1104 intersection (see location map, enclosed). This project involves the expansion of the existing
' airport to include 1,200 feet of new runway, an apron, and an expansion of the approach zone. The
following report provides the necessary documentation to address the National Envirorunental Policy
' Act (NEPA) categories in accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) NEPA
requirements as outlined in FAA Executive Order 5050.4.
r~. 'l~istorie, At~hitectural, Ar+>;haeological, and Cultural l~esou~r/es
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on November 17, 2005 to
determine the presence of any areas of ai•chitectural,hlstoric, or archaeological significance that would
' be affected by the project. 1n a letter dated January 4, 2006 (Attaclunent A), the SHPO stated that they
"are aware of no historic resources that would be affected by the project and have no comment on the
project as proposed."
' B. Biotic Communities (both flora and fauna)
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Deparhnent of Envi•onment and Natural Resources
Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) by Delta Environmental Consultants, hlc. to determine the
presence of rare species, significant natural conununities, or priority nahu'al areas that would be
affected by the project. In a letter dated July 25, 2002 (Attaclunent B), the NCNHP stated that they
"have no record of rare species, significant nahu-al communities, or priority natural areas at the site or
within a mile of tine site."
The aipol-t facility is considered publicly-owned ]and and this nmway expansion will not affect any
publicly-owned wildlife or.wate3•fowl refuge of local, state, or national significance.

Resource Conservation Sei•~~ice (USDA-FRCS}, as ~~~eli as other independent sources. The NCNHP
database indicates that five federally-endangered species are kno~n~n to occur in V~/ashington County,
North Carolinas. The five species include red wolf (Car;is rz~rs), bald eagle
(Haliaeet;%s leucoce~halus), Rafinesque's big-eared bat (Co;~%nor•hi;~us rafrr7esquii), American alligator
' (Alligator rnississip~~ier~sis}, gild VJaccamaw l.illifish -Lake Phelps population
(Fzn~dulus Ivaccan~ensis population 2). Federal Species of Concern (FSC) are not legally protected
under the Act unless they are formally proposed or listed as endangered or threatened. However,
' because they play becollle formally proposed or listed dill-(ilg the COtlstrllCtI011 OI this pr0~eet, they vrere
included in this survey. After completion of an on-site habitat assessment, it was determined that there
is not sufficient habitat in the project area for any of the listed species. Brief descriptions of each
federally-listed species recorded within ~J~iashington County, NoI-th Carolina are sununarized below.
Red wolf (Cards i•ufus)
' The red wolf is a Significantly Rare (SR} species in NoI-th Carolina and listed as Federally Endangered,
with a nonessential experimental population (E~t}. The species is a medium-sized, wild canid that
resembles a coyote. Ho~><~ever, the red wolf is larger and more robust. Its legs and ea1-s are relatively
longer than the coyote's. The red wolfs coloration is similar to that of the coyote, but the tawny element
is more pronounced. Its habitat is restricted to swamps and pocosins in the coastal plain and extensive
forests in the mountains in North Ca1•ohlia.
' Biological corzclusron: Given the results of the literature search and field investigation, it is not likely
that this species or its habitat is present within the proposed project area.
' Bald eagle ((Haliaeetus leucoce~I~alus~
The bald eagle is listed as Tlu-eatened (T) both federally and in No1-th Carolina. It is a large raptor with
a characteristic adult plumage consisting of a white head and tail with a dark brown body. Its habitat
' consists of mature forests neal• large bodies of water for nesting and lakes and sounds for both nesting
sites and non-breeding sites. Bald eagles a1-e found in the piedmont, coastal plain, and tidewater
physiogl-aphic provinces.
Biological cor~clusiorz: Given the results of the literature search and field im~estigation, it is not likely
that this species or its habitat is present within the proposed project area.
' P.afillesque's big-eared bat (Cor~.72orhir~z~s rafrr7es _ uii
Rafinesque's big-eared bat is a species that is Threatened (T) 11n North Carolina and a Federal Species
of Concern (FSC). It is a bat with vet, large ears and ventl-al hails that are black at the base and white
at the tips. It roosts in old buildings, caves, and mikes, usually near water. This species ilihabits
forested regions in the mountains, sandhills, and coastal plane regions of NoI-tli Ca1-ollna. In the Coastal
Plain they an-e suspected to use hollow trees for cold weather, and possibly winter roosts.
Biological coi7clusio;7: Given the results of the literature search and field investigation, rt Is not likely
that this species or its habitat is present ~=ditilin the proposed project area.

)~. Wetlands
' On Novennber 3, 2005, CWS's Ron Jolulson, WPIT and Matt Jenkins delineated jurisdictional waters
of the U.S. within the project con-idor. Jurisdictional areas were delineated using the U.S. Army Colps
of Engineers (USAGE) Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defused it the 1987
' Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual.' .iurisdictional sh•eam chamlels were classified
aceordilg to USAGE guidance. These classifications included sannplingwith a D-shaped dip net,
taking photographs, and defining approximate breakpoints (location at which a channel changes
classification) within each on-site stream chalulel (Attaclunent C).
The results of the on-site field investigations conducted by CWS indicate that thel'e a2-e four potential
' jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A - D) and six potential jurisdictional wetland areas
(Wetlands AA - FF) located within the project co2-ridor (Figul-e 1, enclosed). Potential jurisdictional
waters include ulunamed tributaries to Conaby Creek. Conaby Creek is within the Roanoke River basin
(HIJ# 030101073) and is rated "Class C -swamp waters" by the NCDWQ. Potential on-site
jul-isdictiollal waters of the U.S. total app2-oxvnately 4.79 acl•es (208,652.4 square feet) atnd a2'e

A letter v,~as forwarded to tl?e North Car-olir?a Depar-hnerit of Envu•onmental and I~Jat<rr-al Resources
(NCDENR) Division of Coastal Management on November 22, 2005 to determine if the proposed
' aitpor-t expansion is located within an Area of Enviromnental Concern and would require permits per
ti?e Coastal Area Ivlanagemerit Act (CAMA) or the State's Dredge and Fill Law. Fn a response letter,
dated December 1, 2005 (Attachment E), the Division of Coastal Management stated they "1?ave
determined that the project will not occur within an Area of Envirorunental Concern as designated by
t1?e Coastal Resources Cor??mission. Therefore, no permits are required from this Division for
construction of the aforementioned airport expansion."

CWS consulted the FEMA Coastal Resource Barrier Cor?ununities database for North Carolina to
' determine if the proposed project is located withu? a Coastal Barrier Resource System. This database
was last updated October 22, 2004. According to FEMA, there are no Coastal Resource Barrier
Communities located within Wasl?ington County; therefore consh•uction of this project will have no
' impact on any Coastal Resource Ba--r-ier Communities.

The criteria used for prime and unique farmlands are published in the Natural Resource Conservation
Service (NRCS) National Soil Survey Handbook. Criteria for farmland of statewide importance were
developed in 1988 by the North Carolina (MRCS) State Soils staff u? consultation with soil survey
cooperators, resource conservations, and key soil survey customers. They are sununar-ized on the
1•~RCS-Forth C~olir?a website.
On-Site soils consist of Portsmouth fine sandy loam (Pt). The Portsmouth series is typically very
poorl-y drain?ed and e;hibit moderate to rapid permeability in the ut?denying materials. T1?e ciurent Land

' Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each
characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the
worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or
' weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character
of a stream under review (e.o., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more
continuity, and a separate fom, used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned [o a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score
of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
This letter is in reference to your 22 i~lovember 2005 request for a jurisdictional
determination for the proposed expansion to the existing Plymouth Airport, off SR 1.106, in
Plynlol~th, Washington County. I have reviewed in-house jurisdictional determination references to
determine if permits far development are required per the Coastal Area. Management Act or the
State's Dredge and FiII Law.
from my review of the proposed location of the project, I have determined that the project
will not occur within an Area of Envirorunental Concern as designated by the Coastal Resources
Commission. Therefore, no permits are required from this Division for construction of the
aforementioned airport expansion.
I appreciate your concern and effort to comply with the permit requirements of this Division
and encourage you to continue to consult representatives of this Division for future questions
regarding CAMA jurisdiction. Thank you for your time and concern in these matters. If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
.,.--,, ,r ...

' WETLANDS CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
' National Wetland Inventory Maps are produced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, asub-department
of the U.S. Department of the Interior. In 1974, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service developed a criteria for
' wetland classification with four long range objectives:
to describe ecological units that have certain homogeneous natural attributes,
' to arrange these units in a system that will aid decisions about resource management,
to furnish units for inventory and mapping, and
• to provide uniformity in concepts and terminology throughout the U.S.
' High altitude infrared photographs, soil maps, topographic maps and site visits are the methods
used to gather data for the productions of these maps. In the infrared photos, wetlands appear as
' different colors and these wetlands are then classified by type. Using a hierarchical classification,
the maps identify wetland and deepwater habitats according to:
' system
• subsystem
class
' subclass
modifiers
' (as defined by Cowardin, et al. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service FWS/OBS 79/31. 1979.)
The classification system consists of five systems:
' 1. marine
2. estuarine
' 3. riverine
4. lacustrine
5. palustrine
' The marine system consists of deep water tidal habitats and adjacent tidal wetlands. The riverine
system consists of all wetlands contained within a channel. The lacustrine systems includes all
nontidal wetlands related to swamps, bogs & marshes. The estuarine system consists of
deepwater tidal habitats and where ocean water is diluted by fresh water. The palustrine system
includes nontidal wetlands dominated by trees and shrubs and where salinity is below .5% in tidal
areas. All of these systems are divided in subsystems and then further divided into class.
~ National Wetland Inventory Maps are produced by transferring gathered data on a standard 7.5
minute U.S.G.S. topographic map. Approximately 52 square miles are covered on a National
' Wetland Inventory map at a scale of 1:24,000. Clectronic data is compiled by digitizing these
National Wetland Inventory Maps.

Mr. Scott Recker
Delta Environmental Consultants, Inc.
fi00~ Corporate Center f?rive, Suite 100
Charlotte, North Carolina 2b22G
Dear Mr. Recker:
This is in reply to your letter to our Washington Regulatory Office dated
October 17, 2002, requesting comments on the Environmental Classification for
proposed improvements for the Plymouth Airport expansion. The airport is located on
SR 1195, just south of the town of Plymouth in Washington County. The proposed
improvements include lengthening of the runway, among others.
Our comments involve impacts to flood plains and jurisdictional resources that
include waters, wetlands, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects. The proposed
improvements would not affect any Corps constructed flood control or navigation
projects. Enclosed are our comments on the other issues.
We appreciate the opportunity to comment on this project. If we can be of further
assistance, please contact us.
Sincerely, ,,
Thomas G. Corder, P.E.
Chief, Planning and Environmental Branch

' U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, WILMINGTON DISTRICT, COMMENTS ON:
' Environmental Classification for Airport Improvements for Plymouth Airport
1 . FLOOD PLAINS: POC - Mr. Bobby L. Willis, Planning Services Section, at
' [phone]
Based on a review of Panel 150 of the August 1985 Washington County Flood
' Insurance Rate Map, the site is not shown in an identified flood hazard area. This is
confirmed by a review of the pertinent United States Geological Survey topographic
map of the area. Therefore, we concur with the findings in the environmental document
' that no flood plains would be involved.
2. WATERS AND WETLANDS: POC - Mr. Tom Walker, Washington Field Office,
' Regulatory Division, at [phone], Extension 24
Based on information provided in the Environmental Classification for Airport
' Development Projects checklist prepared on behalf of the Town of Plymouth, it appears
that wetlands may exist within the airport boundary. Department of the Army (DA)
permit authorization, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of 1977, as
' amended, will be required for the discharge of excavated fill material in waters of the
United States or any adjacent wetlands in conjunction with this project, including
disposal of construction debris. Specific permit requirements will depend on the design
' of the project, extent of the fill work within streams and wetland areas (dimensions, fill
amounts, etc.), construction methods, and other factors. Under our mitigation policy, all
appropriate and practicable steps to avoid and minimize impacts to waters and
wetlands must be taken. We will then consider compensatory mitigation for
unavoidable impacts. When final plans are completed, including the extent and
location of any work in wetlands, our Regulatory Division would appreciate the
opportunity to review these plans for project-specific determinations of DA permit
requirements.
' If you have any questions related to DA permits, they should be addressed to
Mr. Walker.

TO: Scott Recker, Delta Environmental Consultants, Inc.
FROM: Gregg Antemann, Carolina Wetland Services, Inc.
DATE: April 18, 2003
PROJECT: CWS Project No. 2003-0374
SUBJECT: Plymouth Municipal Airport
Plymouth, North Carolina
Carolina Wetland Services (CWS) performed a Preliminary Wetlands Determination and Protected
Species Survey for the proposed Plymouth Municipal Airport Expansion Project on April 7, 2003.
The project is located in the Town of Plymouth, North Carolina (Attachment A -Figures 1 and 2).
These services were provided in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of our agreement
Proposal No. 2003-0374, authorized on April 9, 2003. The results of our investigation are
summarized in the following sections.
Preliminary Wetlands Determination
CWS's Gregg Antemann performed a jurisdictional determination of on-site jurisdictional waters
of the U.S.' on April 7, 2003 using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) -Routine On-site
Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual.Z
' The results of the on-site field investigations indicate that there are multiple small herbaceous
jurisdictional wetland areas and several jurisdictional ditches (Attachment A -Figure 4). On-Site
jurisdictional areas are unnamed tributaries to Conaby Creek. Conaby Creek is part of the Roanoke
River basin (HU# 03010107)3 and is classified as "Class C -Swamp Waters" waters by the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ).

~ "Jurisdictional waters of the U.S." includes essentially all surface waters such as: all navigable waters and their h'ibutaries, all
interstate waters and their tributaries, all wetlands adjacent to these waters, and all impoundments of these waters.
' Environmental Laboratory. "Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual," Technical Report Y-57-1, US Anny Engineer

', Plymouth Municipal Airport April 22, 2003
Runway Gapansion CWS Project No. 2003-0374

Soils within the property are classified by the Natural Resource and Conservation Service (NRCS)
as Portsmouth fine sandy loam (Pt). Portsmouth fine sandy loam can be described as a very poorly
drained soil and is listed as a hydric soil in Washington County, North Carolina. The soil
' characterized by a black (lOYR 2/1) A horizon with a grey (lOYR 5/1) Eg horizon at 12". In
addition, the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM) maintains an online GIS
wetland layer that shows a portion of Managed Pine Forest (Attachment A -Figure 3) within the
' project area. Managed Pine Forest is defined by DCM as being seasonally saturated, usually
loblolly pine forests occun~ing on hydric soils.
Several areas appear to satisfy the three criteria for a wetland area. These include: hydric soils,
' hydrophytic vegetation, and hydrology. CWS is recommending that jurisdictional wetland areas be
delineated (flagged in the field) and surveyed prior to groundbreaking activities.
' Protected Species Survey
A protected species survey was conducted to determine the potential for the occurrence of animal
' and plant species formally proposed or listed as endangered or threatened by current Federal
regulations [Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)] within the proposed
project area. The assessment consisted of a literature and records search, and a pedestrian survey
' performed by CWS biologist Gregg Antemann, on Apri17, 2003. The literature review included
searching databases and literature available through the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program
(NCNHP), the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the United States Department of
Agriculture Natural Resource Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS), as well as other independent
sources. The NCNHP database indicates that five federally-endangered species are known to occur
in Washington County, North Carolina4. The five species include red wolf (Canis rarfus), bald
eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), Raftnesque's big-eared bat (Corynorhinus rafinesquii),
American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), and Waccamaw killifish -Lake Phelps population
(Fundulus waccamensis population 2). Federal Species of Concern (FSC) are not legally protected
under the Act unless they are formally proposed or listed as endangered or threatened. However,
because they may become formally proposed or listed during the construction of this project, they
were included in this survey. After completion of an on-site habitat assessment, it was determined
that there is not sufficient habitat in the project area for any of the listed species. Brief descriptions
' of each federally-listed species recorded within Washington County, North Carolina are
summarized below.

Red wolf (Canis rufics)
The red wolf is a Significantly Rare (SR) species in North Carolina and listed as Federally
Endangered, with a nonessential experimental population (EXN). The species is amedium-sized,
wild canid that resembles a coyote. However, the red wolf is larger and more robust. Its legs and
ears are relatively longer than the coyote's. The red wolfs coloration is similar to that of the coyote,
but the tawny element is snore pronounced. Its habitat is restricted to swamps and pocosins in the
coastal plain and extensive forests in the mountains in North Carolina.
Biological conclrsion: Given the results of the literature search and field investigation, it is not
likely that this species or its habitat is present within the proposed project area.
Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
The bald eagle is listed as Threatened (T) both federally and in North Carolina. It is a large raptor
with a characteristic adult plumage consisting of a white head and tail with a dark brown body. Its
habitat consists of mature forests near large bodies of water for nesting and lakes and sounds for
both nesting sites and non-breeding sites. Bald eagles are found in the piedmont, coastal plain, and
tidewater physiographic provinces.
Biological conclusion: Given the results of the literature search and field investigation, it is not
likely that this species or its habitat is present within the proposed project area.
Rafinesque's big-eared bat (Corynorhinus rafinesquic~
Rafinesque's big-eared bat is a species that is Threatened (T) in North Carolina and a Federal
Species of Concern (FSC). It is a bat with very large ears and ventral hairs that are black at the
base and white at the tips. It roosts in old buildings, caves, and mines, usually near water. This
species inhabits forested regions in the mountains, sandhills, and coastal plain regions of North
Carolina. In the Coastal Plain they are suspected to use hollow trees for cold weather, and possibly
winter roosts.
' Biological conclusion: Given the results of the literature search and field investigation, it is not
likely that this species or its habitat is present within the proposed project area.

Waccamaw killifish -Lake Phelps Population (Fundulus waccamensis population 2)
The Waccamaw killifish -Lake Phelps Population is listed as a species of Special Concern (SC) in
North Carolina and a (FSC) Federal Species of Concern. The species is known only to Lake
Phelps in Washington County, North Carolina where probably introduced through its use as fishing
bait. Population 1 is found in Lake Waccamaw in Columbus County in North Carolina. They are
thought to be distinct species. The species occurs over sand in lakes, near and away from shoreline
and is often found near vegetation.
Biological conclusion: Given the results of the literature search and field investigation, it is not
likely that this species or its habitat is present within the proposed project area.

American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)
American alligator is listed as Threatened (T) in North Carolina and Threatened due to Similarity
of Appearance T (S/A) Federally. The species is a large, lizard-like reptile with a broadly rounded
snout. The adults average six to 12 feet long and can reach lengths of 15 or more feet. They are
blackish in appearance, but have pale crossbands on the back and vertical markings on the sides. It
inhabits fresh and brackish marshes, ponds, Lakes, rivers, swamps, bayous, large spring nms in the
coastal plain and tidewater regions.
Biological conclzrsion: Given the results of the literature search and field investigation, it is not
likely that this species or its habitat is present within the proposed project area.
Recommendations and Permitting Discussion
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act was established to regulate the discharge of dredged and fill
material into jurisdictional waters of the U.S. In North Carolina, the USACE and the NCDWQ are
the agencies responsible for administering the wetland regulatory program in North Carolina.
Steps towards obtaining a Section 404 permit may include:
• Developing an alternatives analysis
• Avoiding and minimizing impacts
• Delineating on-site jurisdictional areas
• Addressing endangered species and cultural resource issues
• Planning mitigation to offset wetland/stream impacts
• Submitting plans showing impacts
• Developing a conceptual Storm Water Management Plan
• Submitting aPre-Construction Notification (PCN)
Impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. must be minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
Activities that are considered impacts include: filling (i.e. rip rap), piping, excavating, and
mechanized land clearing within jurisdictional areas. Certain activities within jurisdictional waters of
the U.S. may bepre-authorized and not require notification to the USACE or the NCDWQ. The
Nationwide Permit (NWP) that appears applicable to your project is NWP No. 14 -Linear
Transportation Projects and is outlined below.
Nationwide Permit No. 14
' NWP No. 14 can authorize the placement of fill into non-tidal waters of the U.S. for the construction,
expansion, modification, or improvement of linear transportation crossings, including highways. The
impact limit under NWP No. 14 is 1/2 acre of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. Impacts under NWP
No.14 require notification to the NCDWQ for any project. If proposed impacts exceed 150 linear feet
' of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. or include wetland areas, notification to the USACE is also
required.

I Plymouth Municipal Airport April 22, 2003
Runway Expansion CWS 1'rojeet No. 2003-0374

I All activities conducted under the Nationwide Permit program must comply with the new General
Conditions. Required conditions under NWP No. 14 state that culverts must be buried to a depth of
one foot below die bed of the stream or wetland for culverts 48 inches or greater in diameter. Culverts
' less than 48 inches must be buried below the bed of the stream to a depth equal or greater that 20
percent of the diameter of the culvert. In addition, at crossings bank full channel cross sectional areas
should be maintained and include floodplain culverts when appropriate.
I Permitting under Section 404 of the Cleau Water Act might require coordination with interested
agencies including, but not limited to the USACE, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, State Historic
' Preservation Office, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
If impacts to jurisdictional areas exceed 1/2 acre of jurisdictional waters, then a Section 404
Individual Permit (IP) may be required for the proposed project. Obtaining an IP requires a more
detailed discussion of the following:
• Addressing protected species and cultural resources issues
' An alternatives analysis, wetland impact avoidance and minimization strategies
• Developing a conceptual detailed compensatory mitigation plan
' The IP process usually includes a 30-day public notice period with an additional extended review
schedule by the agencies.

REFERENCE: CD02-20 Plymouth Airport Runway Extension
Dear Ms. Baker:
The Division of Coastal Management has reviewed the infotYrration
provided regarding the proposed extension of the existing ntnway at the PI}~rrrouth
Municipal Airport near Plymouth, Beaufort County, NC. The project includes the
actual extension, additional aviation easement area, taxiway, and associated apron
extension. Based upon our review, it appears that the proposed activity is consistent
with the North Carolina Coastal Management Program, provided that all other state
and local authorizations are received prior to construction. Such authorizations may
include, but are not limited to, a 401 Water Quality Certification and/or stotmwater
plan approval from the Division of Water Quality, and approval of a s:,dimentation
and erosion control plan by the Division of Land Resources.
Please contact Ms. Caroline Bellis at [phone], extension 249, if you
have any questions. Thank you for your consideration of the North Carolina
Coastal Management Program.

Sincerely,
