RE: Section 401 Permit, Certification No. 3883
Carvers Creek State Park
Cypress Point Loop Trail Culvert Replacement
Dear Ms Higgins.

MAY 1 2 2015 J
DENR - WATLR 6tE�0UFtCi -S
Enclosed are live copies of a completed application submittal package requesting a Water Quality
Certification (No 3883) which corresponds to US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Nationwide Permit 3
This application package consists of the following documentation- a completed PCN form, two maps,
construction drawings, Journal transfer in the amount of $240 to the Division of Water Resources and other
agency approval letters.
The primary purpose of this project is to replace an existing culvert which has failed and is creating erosion
issues on the trail The pievious culvert was undersized and had blown out due to a recent flooding event.
The proposed replacement is larger and will be reinforced with np rap to adequately handle the amount of
water that will flow through this stream The culvert material will be changed to corrugated metal to handle
the prescribed fire regime in this region
7 he project site was visited in July 2014 by USACE Tyler Crumbley who determined that impacts would be
limited to stream bed and no wetlands were impacted He did request a PCN to be sent to USACE because of
the project sites proximity to both Red Cockaded Woodpecker habitat and a National Register Histonc Area
The correspondence from both State Historical Preservation Office and U S. Fish and Wildlife are attached to
this submittal
DPR is concurrently submitting a pennit application to the US Army Corps of Engineers under NWP 3 The
request is being made to Emily Greer who is the representative for Cumberland County

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
The replacement of this culvert was designed with the goal of maximizing the life expectancy, improving natural resources and
improving visitor safety Because of the increased size of the culvert water will not be blown out into the adjacent wetland and
downstream causing erosion and flooding issues. Natural Stone Rip Rap will also be introduced to prevent erosion Structures
will be buried at 20% below stream bed to allow for stream and organism flow
lb Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
Mechanized equipment will be minimally sized and will fit within the footprint of the crossing Where feasible, hand tools will be
used

MEMORANDUM

TO: Tammy Dodd
FROM: Brian Strong
CC:
SUBJECT: CACR Culvert Replacement, Permit Application Fee for Division of Water
Resources
Carvers Creek State Park is in need of a DWR Water Quality Certification (WQC) for stream
crossing impacts due to the replacement of a culvert on the Cypress Loop Trail. The existing
culvert was blown out during a storm event and is posing a hazard for visitors as well as leading
to sediment entering the stream.
Please prepare a fund transfer form in the amount of $240 payable to the NC Division of Water
Resources to cover the administrative fee for the processing of this WQC request. The WQC is
required as part of a Nationwide Permit application that will be submitted to the US Army Corps
of Engineers for this project.

Mr. Justin Williamson
Environmental Review Coordinator
North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation
Nature Research Center, 121 West Jones St.
MSC 1615
Raleigh, NC 27699 -1516
Dear Mr. Williamson:
This follows Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) review of information provided by Mr. James W.
Dodson, Jr, Piedmont Region Biologist, DPR Natural Resources Program (via electronic mail dated
July 22, 2014) regarding the proposed replacement of a culvert in the Long Valley Farm Unit of
Carver's Creek State Park. The culvert supports a road that is the only access to the northwest
portion of the park by vehicle. The project occurs within suitable habitat for the federally
endangered red - cockaded woodpecker (Pieoides borealis; RCW). Our comments are provided in
accordance with section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 USC 1531
et seq.).
N.C. State Parks staff provided additional information regarding the proposed culvert replacement
to Ms. Susan Miller of the Service's Sandhills sub - office during a site visit on January 27, 2015.
Installation of the new culvert would not require the removal of any pine trees. Based on
information available to the Service, the closest active RCW cluster is over 1,500 feet north of the
project site. Construction activities would not result in loss of suitable habitat for the RCW nor
would the project cause harassment of woodpecker groups.
The project site occurs within an area known to contain a sensitive plant species, Cuthbert's
turtlehead (Chelone cuthbertii). Cuthbert's turtlehead is a not a federally protected species but is
considered a federal species of concern and is regarded by the State of North Carolina as "Special
concern- vulnerable" species. When replacing the culvert, we encourage State Parks to use practices
that minimize impacts to this species. It may be desirable to contact the State Plant Conservation
Program in the event that disturbance would displace a significant portion of the plants in the site.
Based on a review of the information provided, the Service believes that the proposed project is not
likely to adversely affect the RCW. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act
have been satisfied. We remind you 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.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Mr. John Hammond at 919 -856-
4520 (Ext. 28). Thank you for your continued cooperation with our agency.
Sincerely,
r
( Pete Benjamin

MEMORANDUM
TO: Justin Williamson
Division of Parks and Recreation
NC Department of Environmental and Natural Resources
RFROM: Ramona M. Bartos ""``'� t'�
Office of Archives and History
Deputy Secretary Kevin Cherry
SUBJECT: Culvert Replacement, Carvers Creek State Park, Cumberland County, GS 15 -0916
Thank you for your letter of April 20, 2015 regarding the above - referenced undertaking. We have reviewed the
materials submitted and offer the following comments.
We understand the Division of Parks and Recreation would like to replace an existing culvert with a 42"
galvanized corrugated pipe, along the Cypress Point Loop Trail at Carvers Creek State Park. The project area
lies within the boundaries of the National Register -listed Long Valley Farm (CD0200). However, we feel
replacing an existing culvert with a larger one to prevent sink holes and further erosion of the trail will not
adversely affect the historic property or its contributing elements which are not within view of the project area.
These comments are made in accord with G.S. 121 -12(a) and Executive Order XVI. If you have questions
regarding them, please contact Renee Gledhill- Earley, Environmental Review Coordinator, at 919- 807 -6579. In
all future communication concerning this project, please cite the above - referenced tracking number.
