4. Project Description and History
8

4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
Located north of existing asphalt recreational trail, this 20.89 acre project will develop a new vehicle maintenance complex for 2nd Radio Battalion, wetland crossing and culvert is required
for access road development across unnamed perennial stream tributary to Bearhead Creek. Currently the project area consists of open recreational trail, bottomland around Bearhead
Creek and recently cleared upland forest. Entire 20.89 acre site is located within boundary of Camp Lejeune on the northwest side of the intersection of Wilson Blvd and Holcomb Blvd.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
5.46 acres adjacent/thru project site
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
590' adjacent/thru to project site (perennial & intermittent)
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
Construct access road to new vehicle maintenance facility to be constructed for USMC.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
Construct access road to new vehicle maintenance facility to be constructed for USMC. Fill section across wetland (11,800 SFT of temp. and permanent wetland fill impact) with a 88 feet
of live bottom box culvert (48"W x 60"H) used for routing perennial stream channel (140 LF of total stream channel impacts). All work to be performed in accordance with NWP-14. A
temporary culvert (60" CMP) will be utilized to access the east side of the project site for the permanent culvert installation.
Project will install new culvert section east of existing perennial stream channel with inside invert of culvert placed 12" below existing stream bottom with 3" stone weirs grouted into the
interior bottom of the culvert to retain live bottom in culvert; culvert installed at min. slope of 0.5 % to replicate natural streamflow. Once culvert is installed existing stream will be diverted
into the culvert using riprap entry/exit aprons. After diverting stream into new culvert, fill for road section and utilities (gas, electric, communications, sanitary) will be placed; approximately
12 feet of fill will be required to fill in wetland crossing and connect the site development parcels.
Slope of fill section will be graded at a 3:1 slope and stabilized with erosion control matting/mulch blankets tacked in place until final sod cover can be placed. All work will follow NCDENR
standards for erosion and sediment control (ESC) and associated permits (ESC and stormwater management).

CLJN Wetland manager verified on June 29, 2023 that this was previously an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) and would now be considered a (PJD) and could be relied upon
as accurate depiction of current wetland boundary. Wetland habitat is classified as a PFO3Ad Freshwater Forested/Shrub Wetland habitat on NWI. On March 30, 2023, NC DWR staff
Michael Meilinger and Trey Baranya made site visit to confirm stream was classed as perennial. Letter confirming that was issued on April 12, 2023; DWR Stream Determination # 2023-
006 - Onslow County.

Temporary impacts include allowance around end of culvert for installation of diversions and access for equipment to construct road fill; impacts will be
minimized to maximum extent practicable. Temporary stream crossing culvert will be installed within the proposed fill section (it will be removed once the
permanent culvert is installed.

Stormwater outlets include grading and erosion control within wetland buffer zones but no impervious surfaces added within buffer zones for stormwater
management facilities; impervious roadway and sidewalk improvements are within wetland buffer zones at the wetland crossing area, runoff from these
impervious areas is routed away from wetland into site stormwater management BMPs per NCAC.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation 8

1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
27 acre site development has been structured to avoid impacts to wetlands by aligning geometry around wetlands. 50' wetland and perennial stream
buffer zones are maintained except at areas where stormwater management BMPs must discharge into receiving waters and where access road must
cross wetland area.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Culvert installation east of existing stream channel permits installation of permanent feature as first phase of wetland area impact; once installed the
existing stream can be re-routed into permanent culvert eliminating need to provide temp. culverts and diversions. Site road crossing has been aligned
to cross wetland at narrowest point possible to connect the east and west sides of the project.
