RE: Revised Nationwide Permit 14 Application - Covil Farm Road Bicycle Lane Project
Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina
US Army Corps of Engineers Action ID SAW -2014 -00309
NC Division of Water Resources Project Number 14 -0871
Dear Ms Wicker and Mr. Coburn
On behalf of our client, New Hanover County, Kimley -Horn is submitting the attached revised pre -
construction notification application (PCN) for the above referenced project. The US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) issued the 404 Approval on September 3, 2014 (Action ID SAW- 2014 - 00309),
and the NC Division of Water Resources issued the 401 Approval on September 4, 2014 (DWR
Project No. 14- 0871). Since the permit approvals in September 2014, the project's construction
footprint has been modified, and the proposed impacts have decreased along the western stream
crossing (Stream S2). Additionally, in revising the construction footprint, it was discovered that stream
impact Sites 1 and 2 were inadvertently mislabeled in the PCN package dated August 8, 2014. The
stream impact labelling in the PCN package has been corrected with this revised submittal.
The proposed bicycle lane project will still require the widening of Covil Farm Road, and will still
require the extension of the existing culverts beneath the road connecting wetlands W1 and W2
(Figure 3). The extension of these culverts and the associated NCDOT - required fill slopes will result
in the unavoidable permanent impact to 0.043 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and temporary impacts
to 0.034 acre of wetlands W1 and W2 (Wetland Impact Site 2 in the revised PCN). Temporary stream
impacts have been added (14 LF) at this crossing to account for the temporary impacts resulting from
dewatering activities needed to ensure that all construction can be conducted in the dry at this
crossing. The culvert extension will also result in 16 LF of permanent impact to stream S1 (shown in
the August 8, 2014 PCN application as Site 2/Stream S2). Impacts to stream S2 (shown in the August
8, 2014 PCN application as Site 1 /Stream S1) have been removed completely, as well as the wetland
impacts on the south side of Covil Farm Road. Due to the change in stream impacts, the revised PCN
application shows only Site 1 in the Stream Impacts Section, referring to Stream S1 on the attached
Figure 3.
Along the north side of Covil Farm Road near wetlands W3 and W4 (Site 1), the fill slope has been
modified to improve the constructability of the proposed widening, and improve the long -term stability
of the fill slope. Revised from the August 8, 2015 PCN application, the impacts in this area are now

Kim ey))Wor l Page 2
located only along the north side of Covil Farm Road, totaling 0.010 acre temporary impacts, and
0.011 acre permanent impact.
To assist in your review of this revised nationwide permit application, the following information has
been included as part of this submittal:
• Revised Pre - Construction Notification Form
• Signed Agent Authorization Form
• Revised Permit Drawing
• Revised Plan Sheet Set

3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The proposed bike lane runs alongside Covil Farm Road, between Military Cutoff Road and Old Fort Road. The length of
the proposed bike lane will be approximately 3,770 feet (0.7 miles). Covil Farm Road is a two -lane road, connecting
several small residential neighborhoods interspersed with tracts of forested land.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.11 acres
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
66 linear feet
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
Widen Covil Farm Road (SR 1940) from Military Cutoff Road (SR 1409) to Old Fort Road (SR 1941) to accommodate
bicycle lanes. The addition of bike lanes on Covil Farm Road will combine with the Middle Sound Greenway project to
provide safer pedestrian connectivity between the Gary Shell Cross -City Trail, Ogden Elementary School, and Bayshore
Estates.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The proposed project will widen Covil Farm Road within the existing right -of -way. Fill slopes along Covil Farm Road will
need to be extended, and existing culverts will need to be lengthened to facilitate the construction of the bike lanes.
Throughout the rest of the corridor, the existing roadway facility is wide enough to allow the construction of bike lanes by
resurfacing the existing road. Typical roadway construction equipment will be utilized including cranes, track hoes, back
hoes, graders, dump trucks, bulldozers, pavement marking equipment and paving equipment.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Impacts resulting from the proposed project were minimized to the greatest extent practical. Headwalls were attempted in this
location, but due to grade and construction limitations, construction of headwalls to minimize impacts was cost prohibitive.
Since headwalls were not feasible, fill slopes were kept as tight as possible to the existing toe of slope, and the widening will
occur along the existing roadway corridor to minimize overall impacts to the systems in the project area. The widening was
redesigned along the Stream S2 crossing to completely avoid impacts to the jurisdictional stream feature.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Impacts to stream and wetland features will be minimized wherever possible throughout the construction process by avoiding
stream and wetland features as practical. Construction equipment and material staging areas will be located in uplands where
feasible, and silt fencing will be used throughout the corridor to protect downstream water quality throughout construction.
Best Management Practices (BMP) and measures will be used to reduce stormwater impacts to receiving waters and
minimize runoff from the construction areas.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State

2b. Does this project require a Stormwater Management Plan?
❑ Yes ® No
2c. If this project DOES NOT require a Stormwater Management Plan, explain why:
This project is a linear transportation project and does not require a stormwater management plan. However, the project will
treat the stormwater runoff by minimizing built -upon surfaces, diverting stormwater away from surface waters as much as
possible and employing other best management practices to minimize water quality impacts. The roadway will remain a
shoulder section to allow runoff to sheet flow and infiltrate into the vegetated shoulders along the road to provide stormwater
treatment to the maximum extent practicable. All drainage swales have 3:1 side slopes to maximize treatment while
minimizing impacts to existing features and properties.

5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or
❑ Yes ® No
habitat?
5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act
❑ Yes ® No
impacts?
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted
❑ Raleigh ❑ Asheville
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
Suitable habitat for listed species is not present within the study area. The project corridor is located within a residential
area and roadside edges are frequently maintained up to the heavily forested edges along the wetland boundaries. The
forest communities are primarily bottomland hardwood swamp systems with thick understory. The wetland and stream
systems within the project area have low flow with low water depths, and would not support any of the aquatic species
listed for New Hanover County. Additionally, a review of NCNHP records, updated April 2014, indicates that no known
element occurrences within a 1 mile radius of the project study area. Due to the lack of suitable habitat and the lack of
known occurrences, it has been determined that the proposed project will have no effect on any federally listed species.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat?
® Yes ❑ No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
EFH data downloaded from the NMFS website were used to identify Essential Fish Habitat within 1 mile of the project
study area. Nursing areas for coastal migratory pelagics, potential shrimp and spiny lobster habitat, and shellfish growing area
are present within Howe Creek. However, the proposed bike lanes are not erected to impact these aquatic resources due to
the minimal impact associated with the project
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation
