Re: Michael J Smith Airport — Beaufort, Carteret County
CAMA Major Permit Modification Request — Parallel Taxiway Project (Corps GP291)
CAMA Major Permit #loo -11
DWR Project #19go 0040
Corps AID #SAW- 2oo8 -032o6
W &R Project #03140395.00
Dear Ms. Higgins,
On behalf of the Michael J Smith Airport, we are submitting this 401 WQC Request in conjunction
with the General Permit 291 request for the proposed modification to the CAMA Major Permit ( #1oo-
11). Please note that a copy of this PCN has been provided directly to Joanne Steenhuis in the
Wilmington Office.
The proposed modification consists of o.66 acres of permanent wetland impacts associated with
the Parallel Taxiway project, located south of Runway 8 -26 (Lat: 34.735589 °N; Long: - 76.660577 °W)•
The proposed project areas is ±25 acres, and is located in the White Oak River basin (HUC
0302o1o6), and the site drains to the Newport River /Gable Creek: {(Stream Index: 21417); Surface
Water Classification: SA;HQW }.
Proposed Project
The proposed project consists of the construction of a parallel taxiway along Runway 8 -26 in order to
improve aircraft safety when taxiing to the hangers. Currently, Runway 14 -32 is being used for both a
runway and taxiway to reach the hangers. The construction of the parallel taxiway will result in o.66
acres of unavoidable permanent impacts to herbaceous wetlands. The wetlands proposed to be
impacted consists of emergent herbaceous wetlands within the airfield, which are regularly mowed
as part of the routine maintenance of the airport grounds.
Project History
Onsite wetlands were delineated by Withers and Ravenel, and the Corps of Engineers issued a
Jurisdictional Determination on December 18, 2014 (SAW - 2014 - 01859)•
Through pre- application consultation with Josh Mitchell with the Corps of Engineers, it was
determined that the proposed o.66 acres of permanent wetland impacts were eligible for approval
under a GP291. A copy of the email correspondence with Josh Mitchell has been provided as an
Appendix.

Michael J Smith Airport — CAMA Major Modification — Parallel Taxiway
The NC State Historic Preservation Office issued a comment letter on December 9, 2014
documenting that there are no known historic resources that would be affected by the proposed
project. The SHPO letter has been provided as an Appendix.
W &R conducted a survey for federally listed threatened and endangered species known to occur in
Carteret County, and submitted the results to the USFWS for concurrence. In a letter dated
December 31, 2014, the USFWS stated that the project is not likely to adversely affect any federally -
listed species, their critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing, and that requirements
under section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act have been satisfied for this project. A copy of
the USFWS letter has been provided as an Appendix.
Proposed Impacts
The proposed impacts consist of o.66 acres of permanent wetland impacts for construction of the
proposed parallel taxiway.
Avoidance and Minimization
Prior to site plan design, the applicant requested that a detailed wetland delineation be conducted
so that impacts to wetlands and "waters" could be minimized.
Due to the linear nature of the project, and setback distances between the taxiway and runway, the
proposed o.66 acres of wetland impacts could not be avoided. The wetlands proposed for impact
consist of small, depressional, herbaceous wetlands that are heavily managed as part of the regular
maintenance of the airfield. The NCWAM evaluation determined that the functional value of these
wetlands were LOW. A copy of the NCWAM form has been provided as an Appendix.
Mitigation
Due to the LOW functional value of these wetlands, the applicant proposes to mitigate for the o.66
acres of permanent wetland impact at a 1:1 ratio, through the purchase of offsite mitigation credits.
There are no private mitigation banks that currently service the 0302o1o6 basin. Therefore, the
applicant will purchase o.66 acres of non - riparian wetland mitigation from the NC Division of
Mitigation Services. A copy of the Letter of Acceptance has been provided as an Appendix.
The current request is for o.66 acres of permanent wetland impacts (see the attached maps and PCN
for details).
Please feel free to call if you have questions or require additional information.
Sincerely,
Troy Beasley
Environmental Scientist

Troy,
I have been given the go ahead to let you proceed under the provisions of GP291. Depending on how CAMA chooses to
process the permit (minor mod or major mod) it may need to go through a full Tier 3 review process, but from what I
have been told, it sounds like Tier 2 is more likely.
Please reply or call if you have any more questions.

Re: Parallel Taxiway at Michael J. Smith Air Field- Carteret County, NC
Dear Mr. Beasley:
This letter is to inform you that a list of all federally - protected endangered and threatened species
with kriown occurrences in North Carolina is now available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service's (Service) web page at http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh. 'Therefore, if you have projects that
occur within the Raleigh Field Office's area of responsibility (see attached county list), you no
longer need to contact the Raleigh Field Office for a list of federally- protected species.
Our web page contains a complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and threatened
species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), and a list of federal species of concern that are known to occur in
each county in North Carolina.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non - federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally - listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally - protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes.
I The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of
concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation does
not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be propused for listing as a federally endangered or threatened
species. However, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to
federal species of concern.

If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally - listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally - protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
With regard to the above - referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are
submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed
action is not likely to adversely affect any federally- listed endangered or threatened species, their
formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at
these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for
your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be
reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species
is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have
on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we
recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species,
including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control
measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by
the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction.
Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction
site and any nearby down- gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining
natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a
copy can be found on our website at (http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh) to address and mitigate
secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality.
We recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in
completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary).

We hope you find our web page useful and informative and that following the process described
above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need., for general correspondence for
species' lists. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis of this office at
(919) 8564520 ext. 26.
Sincerely,

Notes
The evaluated wetlands consist of emergent herbaceous wetlands within the airfield that are reguarly mowed. The evaluated wetlands are
currently classified as 'Basin Wetlands" by the Dichotomous Key to General NC Wetland Types. These wetlands were historically forested
wetlands. Therefore, the forested wetlands to the west of the evaluated wetlands were used as the reference wetlands.
