This joint 404/401 application is also being submitted concurrently to the US Army Corps of Engineers for Individual 404 Permit. An RSA is a cleared, non-paved, graded area systematically located about the extended runway centerline. Its purpose is to support aircraft that may overrun or undershoot the runway without injury to the occupants or major damage to the aircraft. RSAs are required by the FAA and are critical at airports with relatively short runways and larger aircraft. The Corporate Area is located adjacent to the aircraft taxiways. Apron area is available for external parking/tie-down of aircraft. Hangars offer inside storage of aircraft. The present and projected growth pattern places a capacity constraint on aircraft parking apron and additional hangar space. The table below details the anticipated impacts to jurisdictional areas.

APPLICATION FOR DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY PERMIT (33CFR 325) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION SHEET JOHNSTON COUNTY AIRPORT EXTENDED RUNWAY SAFETY AREA AND • CORPORATE AREA DEVELOPMENT Block 18 Nature of Activity The extension of the runway safety area (RSA) will increase the RSA to 1,000 feet long by 500 feet wide as required by FAA. The project will also clear trees and shrubs in the approach area that are or may penetrate the 50:1 approach plane. Cleared vegetation will be chipped/mulched on-site and used to stabilize the soil where no fill or excavation is proposed. This will result in the impact of 779 linear feet to Reedy Branch from the placement of a box culvert. The project will fill of 8.66 acres of wetlands along the floodplain of Reedy Branch. An additional 0.18 acre of wetlands will be excavated along the toe of the fill for storm water features. The culvert in Reedy Branch is proposed to be a triple box culvert (two 10' x 6' with central 9' x 7'). Fill slopes will have a 4:1 slope and consist of dirt backfiII compacted to specifications and extend across the wetland and into the upland. Upland areas outside of the 50-foot stream buffer will have the stumps removed, grubbed, and planted in turf grasses for ease of future maintenance. Wetland areas outside the 50-foot steam buffer will have the stumps retained though treated with a herbicide to prevent sprouts. The Corporate Area Development consists of filling 10.31 acres of wetland to a level grade for proposed future construction of airplane hangar and parking. Block 19 Project Purpose The project will enhance the safety of airport operations by extending the RSA to meet safety requirements for larger aircraft. The RSA also requires eliminating obstructions in the • approach path of the runway to ensure adequate flight safety. Additionally, future maintenance will be eased by replacing forested areas with shrubs or herbaceous vegetation. This RSA is consistent with the long-range plans of Johnston County, the Smithfield Area, and the North Carolina Airport System Plan. Increasing the RSA allows the Airport to continue its role as an important reliever to the Raleigh-Durham International Airport. The current and forecasted growth at the Johnston County Airport predicts a need to develop facilities for hangar and apron square footage to accommodate the projected activities important to the economic vitality of the airport and the surrounding community. The Corporate Area Development will meet the need for this projected growth. The forecast and facility requirements were derived in the Airport's last Airport Layout and Master Plan. The approximate start date is September 2009 and the estimated completion date is March 2011. Block 20 Reason for discharge(s) The RSA requires a level or gently sloping surface from the existing runway. Crossing of Reedy Branch necessitates the use of a concrete box culvert. Filling across the culvert and adjoining wetland are necessary to bring the existing grade to the current runway elevation. Because of the extent of the area, some erosion control measures are required within the wetland. The Corporate Area Development will be fill material over the wetland area. :7 APPLICATION FOR DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY PERMIT (33CFR 325) SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION SHEET JOHNSTON COUNTY AIRPORT EXTENDED RUNWAY SAFETY AREA AND CORPORATE AREA DEVELOPMENT Block 21 Type of material being discharged ERSA - Filling across the culvert, adjoining wetland, and upland area with approximately 169,000 CY of rock, sand, and clay to bring the existing grade to the meet current runway elevation. The RSA over the fill will be graded and seeded. Storm water structures will also likely utilize gravel, riprap, and geotextile products. The Corporate Area Development will be approximately 219,000 CY fill material consisting of rock, sand, and clay over the wetland area. The hangar and apron area will ultimately be covered with asphalt/concrete. Fill material will be from local off-site borrow pits.

These projects were documented in an Environmental Assessment (EA) submitted to the NCDOT Department of Aviation in September 2003. A FONSI was received in September 2004 (Appendix Q. This permit application details the project's purpose and need, alternatives, existing conditions, environmental effects, and compensatory mitigation plan. The primary design and permitting project team members are: • Johnston County Airport Authority - Applicant - Ray Blackmon, Airport Director • WK Dickson - Consulting Engineers - project design, NEPA documentation, permitting - Carroll Triplett, Senior Project Manager An RSA is a cleared, non-paved, graded area systematically located about the extended runway centerline. Its purpose is to support aircraft that may overrun or undershoot the runway without injury to the occupants or major damage to the aircraft. RSAs are required by the FAA and are critical at airports with relatively short runways and larger aircraft. The Corporate Area is located adjacent to the aircraft taxiways. Apron area is available for external parking/tie-down of aircraft. Hangars offer inside storage of aircraft. The present and projected growth pattern places a capacity constraint on aircraft parking apron and additional hangar space. Johnston County is located in eastern North Carolina, bounded on the south by Sampson County, on the west by Harnett County, on the northwest by Wake County, on the northeast by Nash and Wilson Counties, and on the east by Wayne County. Johnston County Airport UNIX) is located approximately 25 miles southeast of Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) and approximately 3.5 miles northwest of the Town of Smithfield (Figure 1). JNX is a designated reliever airport for RDU. Based aircraft levels at JNX have increased from 49 in 1985 to currently over 100 based aircraft. Aircraft operations have also increased from a 1985 level of approximately 33,000 annually to approximately over 73,000 operations annually. Operations at the Airport have evolved from primarily flight training to a corporate/business aircraft operation. As a reliever to RDU, JNX is designed to be a viable alternative to General Aviation (GA) operators in order to relieve congestion and enhance safety at RDU. Though an increase in based aircraft has been experienced, there has been a disproportionate increase in the number of overall aircraft operations. Increases in corporate aircraft traffic have resulted in a reduced amount of smaller GA operations. This demand shift is expected to continue throughout the 20-year forecast period presented in the JNX 2007 Airport Layout Plan. Table 1 and Table 2 detail the projected aircraft operations through 2027. In sum, larger and faster business class aircraft are expanding their role as the design aircraft at JNX.

JNX is categorized as a C-II airport. C-II category aircraft have an approach speed of less than 141 knots (C) and a maximum wing span of 79 feet (II). An RSA is normally a turfed area that must be able to accommodate the Critical Aircraft. RSA dimensions for a C-11 Airport must be 1,000 ft. in length beyond the runway end and 500 ft. wide. Existing RSA dimensions for the Runway 21 is approximately 300 ft. long by 300 ft. wide. Existing runway pavement length is 5,500 ft; to operate under a deviation from standard RSA criteria the Airport has established declared distances that make available only portions of the runway for use in calculating ground roll for departure and landing. Only 5,450 ft. of runway pavement is available for take-off and 5,100 ft. is available for landing. Remaining portions of the runway pavement and the existing runway safety area are designated as area for safety overrun. Only the shortened declared runway lengths are usable. Thus, the utility of the airport is operationally degraded. 1.1 Project Description The JNX project consists of two major components or schedules. The overall goal of Schedule I is to bring the Runway 21 RSA up to FAA safety standards. In order to accomplish this goal, the runway needs to have a 1,000-foot long by 500-foot wide safety area, consisting of minimal grade changes and no objects higher than 3 inches. The other schedule of work includes the general site preparation of a future corporate area consisting of T-Hangars, Tie-Downs and Corporate Box Hangars for both itinerant and based aircraft. A portion of the stormwater management system will be installed, but the remainder of pipes, pavement, buildings and all associated work will be constructed at a later date. The current RSA of Runway 21 at the Johnston County Airport is approximately 300' long prior to a sharp change in grade, resulting in an elevation change exceeding 20' in some locations. Reedy Branch meanders through this low area off the end of Runway 21 and has thusly created a wetland area that will be impacted. In order to bring the RSA up to grade, Reedy Branch must be conveyed through the proposed fill that is required. As part of Schedule I, approximately 620 linear feet of a triple box culvert, consisting of one 9'x7' center barrel and two outer 10'x6' barrels will be installed to convey the normal and elevated flowrates associated with Reedy Branch. A wingwall unit will be installed on each end of the culvert; each wingwall unit will have a headwall, wingwalls, and apron. The invert of the center barrel of the culvert will be installed lower than the outer barrels to allow for the normal volume of Reedy Branch to pass, as well as serve as a natural, silty streambed for wildlife and vegetation. It is proposed that the culvert barrels will be precast structures and the wingwall units will be cast in place. Once the culvert has been installed, or during culvert installation, embankment of the new RSA will begin. The required volume of fill dirt is available on the east side of the runway as a stockpile area used during an older project. Geotechnical investigation results confirm that this area can be used as a borrow area and the haul distance will be minimal for the Contractor. The embankment will be placed in lifts and compacted per the requirements of the FAA standard specifications. Once the RSA is brought up to grade, stormwater conveyance methods will be installed and include such items as slope drains, drop inlets and small ditches/swales. Schedule II of this project consists of the initial site preparation of an overall Corporate Area development. The goal of this schedule of work is to provide a working platform that the Airport can utilize in future development of the Airport. The proposed Corporate Area site is sandwiched between the upper hangar development area, which is closer to the terminal building and the lower hangar development area, which is the nearest Airport development to the Runway 21 threshold. The Corporate Area site is approximately 22 acres of dense early successional woods, approximately 10.5 acres of which are non-riparian wetlands. The scope of Schedule II will include the construction of a detention pond sized for the ultimate buildout of the Corporate Area, as well as nearly half of the stormwater drainage pipes and swales required for the ultimate development of the area. As part of the initial phase of development associated with Schedule II, temporary trapezoidal ditches will convey stormwater to the detention pond intended for ultimate stormwater management. Upon the future development of the Corporate Area, each individual building site plan can tie in to the intended overall drainage system. Typical erosion and sediment control measures will be constructed during both schedules of work, as will all required tree/wetland protection fencing or measures. Final site stabilization for both schedules of work will be achieved through measures recommended and approved by the funding and regulatory agencies associated with the project. Figure 2 depicts the proposed RSA and Corporate Area project. Both schedules of work will impact wetlands, both riparian and non-riparian. RSA construction will also have stream and stream buffer zone impact implications, thus resulting in the need for wetland mitigation and stream and buffer zone mitigation. 4 1.2 Agency Coordination and Applications The Authority is submitting an Individual Permit application to the USACE requesting authorization to permanently impact 8.84 acres of riparian wetland, 10.31 acres of non- riparian wetland, and 779 linear feet of stream channel pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of 1972 (33 USC 1344). This action will require water quality certification from the State of North Carolina through the NCDWQ (NCGS 143-215) pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. Approval from NCDWQ is also being sought for proposed 48,467 square feet of Zone 1 and 30,659 square feet of Zone 2 riparian buffer impacts, pursuant to the Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules. The purpose of this document is to provide an evaluation of five criteria: 1) purpose and need for the proposed activity; 2) alternatives analysis to accomplish the objectives of the proposed activity; 3) existing conditions in the proposed project area; 4) environmental effects from the proposed activity; and 4) compensatory mitigation plan for unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional areas. This document is intended for use by USACE and NCDWQ as the basis for determining the applicant's compliance with the Section 404 (b) (1) guidelines and other Section 404 permitting requirements, and Section 401 water quality certification. WK Dickson and the Applicant have held several meetings with regulatory agencies, including USACE, NCDWQ US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and NC Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC). The Table 3 below summarizes the pre-application . agency meetings relevant to this project. Appendix C contains pertinent correspondence and memoranda. Table 3.

The proposed project will also require a sediment and erosion control permit to be obtained from NC Division of Land quality. This permit has not been applied for by the Authority. 2.0 PURPOSE AND NEED FOR PROPOSED ACTIVITY 2.1 Project Purpose Increases in based aircraft, total operations, and increased business aircraft activity at the Johnston County Airport have constrained existing facilities and reduced operational safety margins in terms of FAA airport design standards and guidelines, ground-side circulation, and aircraft parking. Runway Safety Area The RSA will be a cleared and graded area 1000 ft. long and 500 ft. wide from the approach end of Runway 21. FAA design criteria require that the RSA for a Category C-II airport be 1000 ft x 500 ft. The existing RSA is 300 ft x 300 ft. The increased RSA provides • a safer environment for aircraft and aircraft occupants in the event of an overshoot, undershoot, or the need to abort a takeoff roll. Subsequent to a commercial airliner crash in Little Rock, Arkansas, the FAA reiterated and strengthened its position to not allow non- standard RSAs. Corporate Area To relieve congestion and increase needed aircraft ramp circulation, the existing aircraft parking apron is to be expanded. Current efforts to increase apron and taxi space included the removal of several aircraft tie down positions to allow a wider taxi lane area for the business type aircraft to utilize when taxiing. This provided a temporary solution to taxi lane space, but effectively reduced the amount of aircraft storage space on the apron. The proposed project entails apron expansion for the purposes of additional aircraft parking and additional aircraft hangar storage. This will allow the needed 900 sq. ft per aircraft of space recommended by the FAA. 2.2 Project Need Runway Safety Area Actual and projected increases in total operations, as well as increased operations by the business jet and corporate aircraft at Johnston County Airport are affecting the capacity and the safety of the Airport. Changes to Federal Aviation Administration requirements have necessitated that an extended RSA is necessary to provide safety for aviators, passengers, and personnel on the ground, and to bring the Airport into compliance with current FAA standards and regulations. i The RSA enhances the safety for airplanes that undershoot or overrun the runway end. It also provides greater accessibility by fire fighting and rescue equipment to aircraft utilizing the RSA. The RSA is a cleared, graded and seeded area symmetrically located about the • extended runway centerline and adjacent to the end of the runway safety area. Its length, in this case, is approximately 1,000 feet from the existing runway end, measured along the extended runway centerline and its width is 500 feet. The extended runway safety area will be accommodated on existing airport property and no land acquisitions are necessary. The land area required for the proposed project includes crossing over Reedy Branch (requiring a culvert) fill in a riparian wetland, and loss of stream buffers. Corporate Area Expansion of the terminal area has been a critical need at JNX for several years, and based on the planned growth, will become increasingly important. There is presently no vacant hangar space and apron space is at capacity. Due to the size of aircraft operating at the airport, the airport has been forced to move aircraft and remove valuable parking locations to allow aircraft to safely transit through the terminal area. The preferred development area for terminal expansion is on the west side of the runway, south of and adjacent to the existing terminal area. Additional apron area was determined as part of the Airport's Airport Layout Plan (ALP) Update and Master Plan in 2007. The specific hangar and apron configuration which meets the purpose and need is as follows: • 3 100' x 100' box hangars • 1 100' x 60' box hangars • 2 60' x 60' box hangars • 6 T-Hangar buildings, accommodating approximately 64 aircraft in individual bays • 33 tie-down spaces • 115 Automobile Parking Spaces with circulation • Security fencing and controlled access, as appropriate, for each alternative Total square footage of the hangar area is approximately 635,000 square feet (including circulation), and apron space is approximately 157,000 square feet (including circulation).

The County seat is Smithfield, which is close to the Airport and is the County's largest Town. Other towns in Johnston County include Clayton, Selma, Benson, Kenly, Four Oaks, Pine Level, Princeton, Wilson's Mills, and Micro. Local manufacturers in Johnston County include Caterpillar, Eaton Corporation, Novo Nordisk, and Talecris.. Manufacturing employs 22 percent of the County's workforce. Much of the population of Johnson County works in Wake County because of the close proximity of the Research Triangle Park, The University System, medical complexes, and State Government Offices. Interstates and US Highways provide easy access to these institutions. Within and passing through Johnston County are Interstates 95 and 40, US Highways 70, 301, and 701, and State Highways 39, 96, and 210. Population Historic population levels, 1990-2001 and projected, 2001-2019 are presented in Table 5. Population estimates and projections were provided by the North Carolina State Demographics Unit and are derived from U.S. Census data. As the table indicates, Johnston County's population growth is expected to continue to be strong, which compliments a strong propensity for growth in aviation activity. Table 5.

Pursuant to 40 CFR 230.10(a)(2) practicable alternatives are those alternatives that are "available and capable of being done after taking into consideration cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of overall project purpose". The preamble to the 404(b) Guidelines states, "if an alleged alternative is unreasonably expensive to the applicant, the alternative is not practicable". Section 40 CFR 230.10 (a) of the Guidelines state that "no discharge of dredged or fill material shall be permitted if there is a practicable alternative to the proposed discharge which would have less adverse impact on the aquatic ecosystem, so long as the alternative does not have other significant environmental consequences". 10 • • The Alternatives for the RSA and Corporate Area have been evaluated according to how each fulfills the purpose and need, environmental concerns, and associated economic criteria. 3.1 Evaluated Alternatives for the RSA Table 6 details the RSA Alternatives evaluation.

Alternative B: Extend the RSA southward 1,000 feet. Alternative C: Reduce the Dimensions of the RSA. Alternative D: Relocate JNX. Alternative E: "No Build" Alternative. Alternative A (preferred alternative) - The first evaluated Alternative is the extension of the Runway Safety Area 1,000 feet to the north from the existing Runway 21 end. This extension will require crossing 779-feet of Reedy Branch. The Creek will be culverted so water flow continues through the Creek. An anticipated 8.84 acres of riparian wetland will be cleared, filled and graded to create the RSA. And, 48467 square feet of Zone 1 and 30,659 square feet of Zone 2 stream buffer will be lost. Presently, most of the area of proposed construction for the RSA is within the airport's Runway Protection Zone (RPZ). Because of it's location within the RPZ, the wetland and stream areas are currently kept clear of trees and tall vegetation. Once cleared, the entire RSA area will need to be filled and graded. Any impacts to the stream, stream buffer, and wetlands will need to be mitigated. Additionally, permits will be needed from the USACE . and NCDWQ. Alternative A meets all the required evaluative factors for the project. The alternative meets the purpose and need as well as the economic requirements for the project. No impacts to protected species are anticipated with Alternative A. Alternative B - The second evaluated Alternative is the extension of the RSA southward 1,000 feet. The required RSA is needed as an aircraft overrun for aircraft departing and landing to the Northeast on Runway 03. A current RSA exists for the runway 21 and is for aircraft overrunning the runway to the southwest. In sum, this alternative does not meet the project purpose and need. Nor will it be effective or useful to construct an RSA at the opposite end of the runway from where it is most needed. Runway 03 is the primary instrument landing runway and an RSA of sufficient length is needed at the far end of the runway for aborted take-off rolls and emergency landing roll- out to protect aircraft occupants and allow access by fire and rescue crews and equipment. Extending the RSA to the south is of no benefit and similar to the No Project Alternative. Alternative C - Reducing the RSA Dimensions. Any expansion of the RSA will impact wetlands and streams. A reduced safety area will not bring JNX into compliance with FAA design criteria and provide little change from the current condition. Alternative C has the potential of less impact to Reedy Branch and could potentially require less wetland area impact. However, construction of an RSA of dimensions less than FAA standard will produce little benefit and little improvement to the utility and safety of JNX. An RSA of inadequate length requires JNX to use declared distances. Declared distances effectively shorten the length of actual pavement available for use by arriving and departing aircraft. Declared distances require that portions of the paved runway be used as a safety overrun for takeoff and landing distance calculations by pilots. The calculations force pilots to recognize that only a portion of the runway is available for rollout: the remainder is for safety overrun. Consequently, trip distances are reduced because of the need to reduce onboard fuel loads to make an aircraft lighter and takeoff or land in less distance and aircraft useful loads (cargo and passengers) are reduced to compensate for the calculated shortened runway for similar reasons. Alternative D - Relocating JNX. This alternative is not an economic, environmental, or a practical alternative. Several hundred acres of land would need to be acquired, cleared and new facilities constructed. This alternative is not prudent or cost effective given the extent of the existing facilities. Costs for site selection studies and construction of a new airport can exceed $25 million. This alternative is not a preferred alternative. Alternative E - The No Build option, in the short term, would preserve the existing surrounding natural environment. However, the No Build alternative is not consistent with the Federal Aviation Administration requirements, in that the project is needed to bring the JNX's RSA within FAA standards and allow the airport to fulfill its role as an important reliever to RDU. In light of historic trends in airport activity and projected increased demand, JNX will need to continue to provide services and this safety project will become increasingly important. Therefore, the No Build alternative is not a preferred alternative. 12 0 0 0 3.2 Evaluated Alternatives for the Corporate Area The 2003 Environmental Assessment presented four alternatives of the proposed apron/hangar expansion project: Alternative 1: Develop apron and hangar parking area between existing north and south apron areas. Alternative 2: Develop apron and hangar parking area northwest of and adjacent to current terminal/apron area and across Swift Creek Road. Alternative 3: Develop apron and hangar parking area on east side of existing runway at the northern end of the runway. Alternative 4: "No Build" Alternative Figure 3 illustrates the alternatives for Corporate Area development at )NX. Table 7 summarizes the evaluation of each alternative for general criteria such as purpose and need, environmental concerns, and economics. Table 8 summarizes the evaluation of each alternative for specific environmental impact types, as outlined by FAA Order 5050.4A, the "Airport Environmental Handbook".

This area will ultimately provide needed space for aircraft and provide the needed additional aircraft movement area that is needed to satisfy the expected demand. 15 • • • Alternative 1 meets the requirements of purpose and need, environmental concerns (with mitigation) and economic constraints of the project, and is the Applicant's preferred alternative. The proposed project area is in a non-riparian wetland that has been previously cleared of trees. New growth in the area has occurred since the trees were cleared circa 1995 and is composed of early successional hardwood species. The project will require the filling of approximately 10.31 acres of wetlands. The areas surrounding the wetland have been developed and, with the exception of subsurface connections via drainage pipes, the wetland is isolated from other wetlands and streams. The wetland impact is the primary environmental concern regarding this alternative. No stream impacts are associated with the wetland or any other part of the alternative. Also, no other impacts, such as noise, air quality, compatible land use, historic/archaeological resources, or endangered species are anticipated from this project alternative, as per coordination and surveys documented in the 2003 EA. Securing the area by fencing and gates is nominal (approximately 2,000 feet of fencing) and can easily tie into security features of the existing terminal area. Additionally, since this would be a "natural" expansion of the apron/hangar area visual security is relatively easy to accomplish since the entire area is easy to view from the current aircraft operating and terminal area. Alternative 2: This apron expansion alternative provides aircraft apron and hangar parking northwest of the existing terminal area. Alternative 2 contains hangar square footage and tie-down spaces comparable to Alternative 1 (e.g., approximately 200,000 square feet of hangar space). While the exact configuration of the buildings, apron, and vehicle parking spaces are modified to suit this alternative's specific site conditions, the alternative meets the purpose and need in the same manner as the preferred Alternative 1 does. Due to this alternative's footprint extending west of State Road 1501 (Swift Creek Road), development of this site would require the acquisition of approximately 28 acres of property, the relocation of 1 family, and relocation of Swift Creek Road. Additionally, the alternative impacts up to 6 acres of riparian wetlands, 250 linear feet of stream impact, and 25,000 square feet of stream buffer impact, in the northern portion of this alternative's proposed footprint. The relocated road would travel over Reedy Branch and require a bridge or culvert crossing over it. In terms of endangered and threatened species, were identified in the 2003 EA as being prey including in the vicinity of the airport.

Security for the alternative would be somewhat more difficult to achieve with almost 3,500 linear feet of fencing and 1 gate would need to be installed to provide controlled access. Visual surveillance would be more difficult because the development would not be in view of the terminal area. The relocated Swift Creek Road in this alternative has significantly sharper curves than currently exists, which would affect the flow of traffic and likely cause congestion and safety concerns. Maintaining a smoother alignment comparable to the existing road would require significantly more land acquisition, which would add additional costs to the alternative. The industrial park across the road from the existing terminal area would be a particularly costly acquisition. Because of residential and road relocations, disruptions to local residents from construction of the site (e.g., traffic flow), and security measures, this alternative is not a preferred alternative. Therefore the project does not meet the Environmental and Economic Concerns for the project, as shown in Table 7. Alternative 3: Corporate Area Alternative 3 provides additional aircraft apron and hangar parking on the east side of the Runway End 21, directly opposite the existing terminal area As with Alternative 2, this alternative provides comparable hangar and apron space as Alternative 1 in order to meet the stated purpose and need. This alternative would require impacting up to 5.09 acres of riparian wetlands for an access road and site grading, provide a serious security concern for the airport due to its remote location, and would require the construction of a partially elevated access road from U.S. Highway 70 to the site. Potentially impacted wetlands consist of a relatively undisturbed riparian corridor associated with Reedy Branch and a portion of existing on-site mitigation from a previous airport project. Dominant canopy tree species in the affected area are approximately 50 years in age, ranging up to 100 years in some cases. Also, there is beaver activity in the wetland, including girded and/or felled trees, and ponding from beaver dams. In terms of endangered and threatened species, the dwarf wedge mussel and/or its habitats were identified in the 2003 EA submittal as being present in the Swift Creek/Neuse River basin, including in the vicinity of the airport. The USFWS has stated that Reedy Branch in the vicinity of JNX is not suitable mussel habitat due to the numerous beaver impoundments. However, the project, as proposed in Alternative 2, would be designed with zero sedimentation/siltation into Reedy Branch to protect mussel habitat downstream in Swift Creek. • Moreover, property acquisition of approximately 1.26 acres would be required for the access road corridor to U.S. Highway 70. The access road would also require a crossing of Reedy Branch, either through a culvert or bridging, and would impact up to 270 linear feet 17 • of stream, 27,000 square feet of stream buffer, 5.09 acres of riparian wetland, and 1.75 acres of non-riparian wetland. Security fencing, controlled access gates, and video surveillance may be needed since the site is "remote" from the rest of the airport and difficult to readily access. In consultation with the North Carolina Department of Transportation's (NCDOT's) District Office in Goldsboro, constructing an appropriate junction or intersection with U.S. Highway 70 would be extremely difficult for two reasons. First, Alternative 3's proposed location of the access point is between two existing highway crossovers that are less than 2,000 feet apart. Therefore the proposed access point location would not be approved. NCDOT guidelines for divided highways such as U.S. Highway 70 stipulate 2,000 feet as the minimum distance between crossovers. As such, an access point would need to be found that is at least 4,000 feet between existing crossovers. There are no such potential access points along U.S. Highway 70 east of the Airport. Second, NCDOT strongly discourages adding additional local traffic to U.S. Highway 70, which it considers a major through-route between the towns of Clayton and Smithfield, especially if there are alternative local access roads. Swift Creek Road, which is the access road for Alternatives 1 and 2, was specifically mentioned as NCDOT's preferred access into the Airport. A major concern regarding Alternative 3, as it is located across the runway from all existing hangar and apron development, is the lack of a parallel taxiway, either partial or full-length. In order to most efficiently and safely maneuver aircraft taxiing into and out of Alternative 3's hangar/apron area, a full-length parallel taxiway would be needed to prevent aircraft from having to cross the runway after landing or before take-off. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has made a major priority of reducing the risk of runway incursions, especially due to taxiing of aircraft across active runways. A runway incursion is defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as "any occurrence at an (airport) involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle, or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and take-off of aircraft". With this in mind, a second parallel taxiway for the Airport would be needed in this alternative, to preclude aircraft from crossing an active runway, especially during inclement weather and on an uncontrolled airfield. As such the FAA may require installation of a parallel taxiway along with this alternative's proposed hangar and apron area. As depicted for this analysis, Alternative 3 does not have a parallel taxiway in order for it to be meeting the purpose and need in terms of hangar and apron space, comparable to the other "build" alternatives. Adding a full-length parallel taxiway would add considerable cost and environmental impacts to Alternative 3 due to terrain and wetlands along the eastern side of the runway. Moreover, the Airport's Airport Layout Plan Update does not anticipate any development, including a parallel taxiway, on the east side of the runway. No other impacts, such as noise, air quality, compatible land use, historic/archaeological resources are anticipated from this project alternative, as per coordination and surveys documented in the 2003 EA submittal and its appendices. Due to safety concerns regarding runway crossings to and from the hangar/apron area, the highly problematic nature of gaining appropriate access of the site to U.S. Highway 70, in addition to wetlands, stream, and endangered species impacts and property acquisition, Alternative 3 is not a preferred alternative for the project. 18 C Alternative 4: The "No Build" Alternative would leave undisturbed the existing natural environment. However, the "No Build" alternative does not fulfill the purpose and need of the Airport, is not consistent with the long-range plans of Johnston County and Smithfield Area, or the North Carolina Airport System Plan, which maintains the Airport continuing its role as an important reliever to the Raleigh-Durham International Airport. This Alternative does not improve the safety or utility of the Airport. In view of the current and forecasted growth at the Johnston County Airport, providing the proper development of facilities to accommodate this activity is important to the economic vitality of the area and the safety of the Airport, aircraft occupants, and persons on and near the Airport. The "No Build" Alternative does not meet the purpose and need elements for the project as stated in the 2003 EA, and it is not a preferred alternative. 3.3 Corporate Area Alternatives Cost Analysis Each of the three "build" alternatives has costs associated with the construction activities and facilities such as: • Site preparation • Drainage • Aprons • Taxiways . • Box Hangars • T-Hangars • Environmental Mitigation • Engineering and Other Contingencies 0 Table 10 presents a summary of estimated construction costs for the Corporate Area alternatives. The Preferred Alternative 1 is the least expensive to fulfill the purpose and need of the proposed project. Alternative 2's additional costs are largely driven by land acquisition and road relocation needs, while Alternative 3's additional costs are largely driven by large fill quantities required.

The potential impacts to Reedy Branch will be minimized by installing a buried low flow culvert for the base flow and stormwater controls to detain runoff. Alternative A provides the needed increase in utility and safety not found in Alternatives B, C, and D, and is economically feasible, which meets the project need in comparison to the other alternatives. Alternative 1 is the preferred alternative for developing the Corporate Area. The apron area will require filling 10.31 acres of disturbed non-riparian wetlands. The alternative is more economically feasible in that it does not require relocating or constructing a roadway, the purchase of property, or the displacement and relocation of residents as required by other studied alternatives. The primary concerns recognized in the alternatives analysis of wetland and stream impacts and potential endangered species impacts are addressed later in this report. 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 4.1 Physiography, Topography, Geology, and Land Use • JNX lies near the physiographic boundary between the piedmont and coastal plain of North Carolina. The Coastal Plain is sub-divided into the Tidewater Area and the Interior portion. The project area is in the Interior portion of the Coastal Plain. Terrain in the area is gently sloping, and for the most part, naturally well drained. Elevations on the site range from a low of approximately 146 feet above mean sea level (MSL) along Swift Creek to a high of approximately 173 feet above MSL at a high point at the northern end of the runway. The project area is also located in the Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020201, NCDWQ sub-basin 03-04-02). The project site is located in the Mica gneiss and Felsic volcanics in the Carolina Slate Belt of the Coastal Plain physiographic region. The Mica gneiss consists of mica schist and a wide variety of other gneisses and schists. The Felsic volcanics consist of acidic tuffs, breccias and flows, with lenses of bedded slate (Horton & Zullo 1991). The existing land use pattern adjacent to the Airport is agricultural/woodlands with pockets of residential sites on large lots. The total area within sub-basin 03-04-02 is 726 square miles. Land area is 724 square miles and water area is 2 square miles. Land use in sub- basin 03-04-02 is: forest-53 percent; surface water-1 percent; urban-30 percent; cultivated crop-13 percent; pasture/managed herbaceous-3 percent (NCDWQ 2002). 4.2 Soils Existing soils mapping in the Soil Survey of Johnston County, North Carolina (USDA 1989) shows that the JNX property contains numerous soil-mapping units. The soil-mapping units located within or immediately adjacent to the site are listed in Table 11. Please refer to Figure 4 for the detailed soils map. 20 • 0 • Table 11.

The project site is located within the USGS 8-digit hydrologic unit 03020201. The NCDWQ system places the site in sub-basin 030402 of the Neuse River Basin. The Stream Index Number (SIN) of Swift Creek is 27-43-(8). The major tributaries of the Neuse River in this sub-basin include Crabtree Creek, Walnut Creek, Swift Creek, and Marks Creek (NCDWQ 2002). Figure 5 depicts the FEMA mapped floodways in the project area. The JNX property contains Swift Creek and Reedy Branch. Swift Creek flows southeast along the western and southeastern border of the project study area. Reedy Branch flows southeast along the northern and eastern border of the project study area. Swift Creek from Lake Benson to the Neuse River is fully supporting and is being considered for preservation by the Triangle Land Conservancy (NCDWQ, 2002). Swift Creek is assigned a Best Usage Classification of C, NSW. Class C waters are freshwater that are protected for aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture. The supplemental NSW indicates Nutrient Sensitive Waters that are subject to growth of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation requiring limitations on nutrient input. 22 silos oppRy-uoN laal 005 slenba uaui ?

The channel is dammed several times by beavers, creating frequent ponded areas. These areas of open water attract waterfowl (a hazard to aircraft). Reedy Branch is classified as C, NSW (DWQ water quality classification). Although Reedy Branch is not one of NCDWQ's regular sample sites for bioclassification, it drains into Swift Creek downstream of the airport. The bioclassification of Swift Creek improved from "Good-Fair" in 1991 to "Good" in 1995 and 2000. Water quality is assessed by NCDWQ through several programs, including benthic macro- invertebrate monitoring, fish community structure, and aquatic toxicity monitoring. One invertebrate monitoring station was monitored in 2002 along Beech Branch just upstream from the project site. Currently Swift Creek has a use support rating of 'Good'. NCDWQ continues to monitor Swift Creek, assessing changes in the invertebrate monitoring that may be related to land-disturbing activities. Best Management Practices (BMP's) are recommended for the Swift Creek watershed. As of 2004, there is one known point-source discharge along Little Creek that flows into Swift Creek upstream of the project study area and there is a major point-source discharge along Swift Creek downstream of the project study area (NCDWQ 2004). Little Creek is also 303(d) listed but Swift Creek is not in this area (NCDWQ 2008). No bio-classifications exist for Reedy Branch; it is not part of the monitored waters within subbasin 03-04-02. • 5.0 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 5.1 Plant Communities Distribution and composition of plant communities throughout the project study area reflect landscape-level variations in topography, soils, hydrology, and past and present land use practices. When appropriate, the plant community names have been adopted and modified from the NHP classification system (Schafale and Weakley 1990) and the descriptions written to reflect local variations within the project study area. Six plant communities were identified within the project study area: mixed hardwood/pine forest, disturbed/successional land, bottomland hardwood forest, coastal plain small stream swamp, agricultural land, and maintained/disturbed lands. Scientific nomenclature typically follows Radford et. al. (1968). Mixed Hardwood/Pine Forest -Tree species in this community include red maple (Ater rubrum), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). Groundcover species consist of common greenbriar (Smilax rotundifolia), giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea), sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia) and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). This community type contains non-riparian wetlands but is mostly composed of non-jurisdictional, upland areas. ?J 24 0 0 • 11 Disturbed/Successional Land -The disturbed/successional land within the JNX property consists of previously disturbed land that has revegetated with young, disturbance-oriented species. These areas include such species as young loblolly pine, sweetgum, persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), black cherry (Prunus serotina), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinesense), pokeweed (Phytolacca americana), and blackberry (Rubus spp.). These areas are frequently mowed or cleared by hand to limit hazards to aircraft operations. The disturbed/successional land is mostly non-jurisdictional uplands but does contain small areas of non-riparian and riparian wetlands. Both the RSA and Corporate wetland impacts are in areas of disturbed/successional wetlands. Bottomland Hardwood Forest -This plant community is located on relatively high parts of the floodplain associated with Swift Creek. Dominant tree and shrub species include red maple, sweetgum, green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), water oak (Quercus nigra), and tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). Groundcover species consist of netted chain fern (Woodwardia areolata), touch-me-not (Impatiens capensis), cinnamon fern (Osmunda cinnamomea) and common greenbriar. The Bottomland Hardwood forest community is mostly non-jurisdictional upland. However, vernal pool wetlands and beaver impoundments are present. Coastal Plain Small Stream Swamp - The coastal plain small stream swamp communities on the JNX property are located within the active floodplain of small first and second order streams such as Reedy Branch and Huckleberry Branch. These communities flood on an irregular basis and most plant life is adapted to seasonal flooding and extended periods of soil saturation. Dominant vegetation includes red maple, ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), water oak, green ash, tulip poplar, and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum). Herbaceous species include giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea), touch-me-not, and lizard tail. Agricultural Land - Existing agricultural land is present on airport property south of Swift Creek along Ogburn Road. These areas are located high in the landscape and are non- jurisdictional uplands. Maintained/Disturbed Land -These areas result from previous human disturbances and include areas subject to periodic mowing and other maintenance activities. The existing road shoulders, easements, and mowed areas around the airfield are included in this habitat type. Species documented in the disturbed/maintained areas include Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), blackberry, lespedeza (Lespedeza spp.), and broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus). Various managed turf grasses are also present in this community type. These areas are non-jurisdictional uplands. 5.2 Wildlife The location of the project site is in a generally rural/suburban setting with agriculture and single-family homes and farms scattered throughout, on the west side of Smithfield. The are is experiencing suburban/commercial, and industrial development and habitats are rapidly becoming more fragmented. Wildlife occurring in the project study area will typically be those species that are adapted to fragmented landscapes. Impacts to wildlife will likely be temporary displacement. However, the vast majority of undeveloped land on the JNX property will be unaffected by the proposed project. 26 Terrestrial Wildlife Common mammals known or expected to occur on-site include: white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), grey fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus), raccoon (Procyon lotor), eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus), opossum (Didelphis virginiana), and grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis). Avian species observed or expected to occur on-site include species commonly occurring in forested and disturbed areas of the region. These species include: common crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), turkey vulture (Cathartes aura), red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus), red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), American kestral (Falco sparverius), eastern screech owl (Otus asio), great horned owl (Bubo virginianus), downy woodpecker (Picoides pubescens), bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus), wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus), blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata), carolina chickadee (Parus carolinensis), tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor), American robin (Turdus migratorius), northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), hooded warbler (Wilsonia citrina) and field sparrow (Spizella pusilla). Reptilian species known or expected to occur on-site include: eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina carolina), green anole (Anolis carolinensis), fence lizard (Sceloporus undulates), six lined racerunner (Cnemidophorus sexlineatus), five-lined skink (Eumeces fasciatus), ground skink (Scincella lateralis), eastern garder snake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis), southern ringneck snake (Diadophis punctatus), eastern worm snake (Carphophis amoenus amoenus), and northern black racer (Coluber constrictor constrictor). Aquatic Wildlife Aquatic avian species observed or expected to occur on-site include the belted kingfisher (Ceryle alcyon), great egret (Ardea alba), blue heron (Ardea herodias), wood duck (Aix sponsa), and mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). Amphibian species observed or expected to occur on site include species commonly occurring in small streams, ponds, and wet forests. These species include: oak toad (Bufo quercicus), fowler's toad (Bufo woodhousii fowleri), marbled salamander (Ambystoma opacum), two-lined salamander (Eurycea cirrigera), two-toed amphiuma (Amphiuma means), and red-spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens viridescens). Common freshwater fish species known or expected to occur onsite include species commonly occurring in creeks, small streams, ponds and impoundments. These species include: bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), eastern silvery minnow (Hybognathus regius), brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus), pirate perch (Aphredoderus sayanus), yellow perch (Perca flavescens), warmouth (Lepomis gulosus), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), and sawcheek darter (Etheostoma serrifer). Wildlife Hazard Assessment The US Department of Agriculture conducted an assessment of potential wildlife hazards at JNX. Results of the assessment were included in the EA. FAA Advisory Circular Number 150/5200-33 recommends that any land uses that are incompatible with safe airport operations including wetlands be located a minimum of 10,000 feet from an airport. Wetland and stream areas at JNX are within hundreds of feet from the airport runway. During the USDA assessment wood ducks were sited on airport property. Wood ducks 27 along with other birds of prey, waterfowl, and other species pose a significant threat to the safe operation of aircraft while aircraft are in the air or maneuvering on the ground. Reduction in the amount of close-proximity wetlands resulting from the proposed project will increase the benefit safety of the airport and aircraft passengers. 6.0 CULTURAL RESOURCES The term "cultural resources" refers to prehistoric or historic archaeological sites, structures, or artifact deposits over 50 years old. "Significant" cultural resources are those sites that are eligible or potentially eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Evaluations for cultural resources are required whenever a Section 404 permit application is submitted to USACE. Evaluations of site significance are made with reference to the eligibility criteria of the National Register (33 CFR 60) and in consultation with the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). Previous surveys by AF Consultants indicated that there are no sites or potential archaeological/historic sites in the area of the construction of the ERSA, or borrow area. Follow-up telephone conversations with Dr. Leslie Drucker, AF Consultants (who performed the surveys) and with Deloris Hall, DENR, Department of Archives and History, indicate that the propensity for historic/archaeological sites in the area of the proposed Corporate area is very low since the site is almost all hydric soils and potential sites were not located in areas of hydric soils in earlier surveys. Potential sites in non-hydric soil areas were later determined to be not significant. There are no structures, historic or otherwise, to be impacted from these proposed projects. 7.0 JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES 7.1 Jurisdictional Wetlands Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires regulation of discharges into "waters of the United States." Although the principal administrative agency of the CWA is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the USACE has major responsibility for implementation, permitting, and enforcement of provisions of the Act. The USACE regulatory program is defined in 33 CFR 320-330. Water bodies such as rivers, lakes and streams are subject to jurisdictional consideration under the Section 404 program. However, by regulation, wetlands are also considered "waters of the United States." Wetlands are defined as: Those areas that are inundated or saturated by groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs and similar areas. [33 CFR 328.3(b) (1986)] The USACE requires the presence of three parameters (hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, • and evidence of jurisdictional hydrology) in support of a jurisdictional determination. 28 • The Applicant obtained a Jurisdictional Determination in April 2001. That JD depicted only wetlands north of Swift Creek and it expired in 2006. During pre-application agency meetings in 2005 the USACE requested the wetlands be re-delineated east of the runway to more accurately reflect existing conditions. During this delineation the wetlands on the airport property south of Swift Creek were also delineated and all jurisdictional areas from the 2001 JD were verified. The 2005 delineation was reviewed by James Shern of the USACE on 25 January 2006. A subsequent re-delineation of the Corporate Area was requested by Thomas Brown of the USACE during a pre-application meeting in May 2008. This delineation was reviewed on 22 July 2008 by Thomas Brown. Martin Richmond of NCDWQ was also present to verify the extent of streams subject to Neuse Buffer Rules. USACE data forms and Jurisdictional Determination (Rapanos) forms are submitted with the JD Request in Appendix A. The revised wetland lines have been surveyed and a wetland plat is included in Appendix A. Wetland boundaries were delineated using current methodology outlined in the 1987 Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual (DOA 1987) and marked with sequentially numbered wetland survey tape (pink/black striped). Flagging was tied to vegetation in a manner so as to make it as permanent as possible to facilitate follow-up surveys as required prior to construction. Flag locations were surveyed under the direction of a PLS with GPS and conventional survey. Figure 6 depicts the National Wetlands Inventory map and Figure 7 depicts the jurisdictional wetlands and surface waters occurring in the project study area at a smaller scale than the maps provided in Appendix A. The majority of the jurisdictional wetlands within the boundaries of JNX can be characterized as riparian wetlands. The most significant riparian areas occurring on the JNX site are those associated with Swift Creek and Reedy Branch. These are the two primary surface water systems that traverse the property. Riparian areas, including wetlands, are transitional between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and are distinguished by gradients in biophysical conditions, ecological processes, and biota. They are areas through which surface and subsurface hydrology connect water bodies with the adjacent uplands. They include portions or terrestrial ecosystems that influence exchanges of energy and matter with aquatic ecosystems (National Research Council 2002). Riparian areas are adjacent to perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral streams and lakes. Because riparian areas occupy a gradient in the landscape, they can include both wetland and upland habitat. It is this gradient and the diverse biogeochemical processes that occur in riparian areas that make them so important to the overall health of aquatic ecosystems. Riparian areas also serve as a filter between developed uplands and low-lying floodplains and swamps, thus reducing the amount of pollutants and contamination entering surface waters. Wetland habitat types existing on the JNX property based on Cowardin et al. (1979) consist of the following: palustrine forested broad-leaved deciduous seasonally flooded/saturated (PF01C/E), palustrine shrub-scrub broad-leaved deciduous seasonally flooded/saturated (PSS1C/E), and palustrine emergent persistent semi permanently flooded (PEM1 F). Palustrine systems are defined by Cowardin et al. (1979) as all non-tidal wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent mosses or lichens, and all such 29 • • .;, �t F'O BARBOUR RD nrq' 0/ti N o WATERSHED SCIENCES WI NWI Codes PEM1 C — Palustine Emergent Broad -Leaved Deciduous Seasonally Flooded r PF01A— Palustine Forested Broad -Leaved Deciduous Temporarily Flooded JPFO1 C — Palustine Forested Broad -Leaved Deciduous Seasonally Flooded ` PSS1A- Palustine Scrub -Shrub Broad -Leaved Deciduous Temporarily Flooded PSS1Fh - Palustine Scrub -Shrub Broad -Leaved Deciduous Semipermanently Flooded Diked/Impounded PUBHh - Palustine Unconsolidated Bottom Permanently Flooded Diked/Impounded 9 PUBHx — Palustine Unconsolidated Bottom Permanently Flooded Excavated Photos.

During the field investigation and delineation; the PFO and PSS wetlands were also classified as either riparian or non-riparian based on their position in the landscape. Adjacent streams, through periodic overbank flooding, influence the hydrology of riparian wetlands. Overbank flooding does not typically influence the hydrology of non-riparian wetlands. Proposed wetland impacts described in Section 8.0 are divided into riparian and non-riparian impacts. 7.2 Isolated Wetlands There are no isolated wetlands on the JNX property. Several small wetland areas lack a surface connection to other waters of the US but are located on the Swift Creek or Reedy Branch floodplain and are subject to overbank flooding. W17, in the proposed Corporate Area, is connected to other waters of the US through a drainage network beneath the taxiway and runway. 7.3 Streams On-site stream channels consist of Swift Creek and Reedy Branch. Other ditches and drainageways were investigated and lacked consistent intermittent or perennial flow and or a clearly defined channel. Appendix A contains a waters of the US plat that clearly identifies the streams. Reedy Branch is frequently inundated with backwater from beaver dams and lacks a clearly defined channel throughout much of the JNX property. Swift Creek is a large stream system with clearly defined geomorphic features and habitat diversity. Several low beaver dams were present in the project area during site investigations. In the vicinity of the RSA a topographic survey was conducted to determine the top of bank locations. On the east side of the JNX property the Reedy Branch location is based upon GIS data and the property line. 7.4 Riparian Buffers The project study area is within the Neuse River Drainage Basin and jurisdictional surface waters are subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rule (Rule). The Rule applies to a 50- ft wide riparian buffer directly adjacent to surface waters in the Neuse River Drainage Basin. This includes intermittent streams, perennial streams, lakes, ponds, and estuaries that are depicted on either the most recent version of USGS topographic maps or county soil survey maps, but does not include jurisdictional wetlands (non-surface waters) regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Swift Creek and Reedy Branch are subject to the Rule. A blue-line channel is depicted on the USGS quadrangle in the proposed Corporate Area. An onsite meeting with Martin Richmond of NCDWQ on 22 July 2008 confirmed that this channel did not convey intermittent or perennial flow and was not subject to the Rule. Riparian buffer impacts are described in Section 8.0. 8.0 JURISDICTIONAL IMPACTS In accordance with provisions of Section 404 of the CWA (33 U.S.C. 1344), a permit will be required from the USACE for the discharge of dredged or fill material into "Waters of the IS United States." Section 401 of the CWA (33 U.S.C. 1341) requires each state to certify that state water quality standards will not be violated for activities which: 1) involve issuance of a federal permit or license; or 2) require discharges to "waters of the United States." The use of a Section 404 permit requires the prior issuance of the 401 certification. Therefore, 32 UA the applicant must also apply to NCDWQ for 401 certification. This process is typically handled as a joint permit application to both the USACE, and NCDWQ. Table 12 details the jurisdictional impacts.

Riparian wetland impacts will result from construction of the RSA (8.84 acres) over Reedy Branch and its floodplain. Non-riparian wetland impacts will result from construction of the Corporate Area (10.31 acres) in a disjunct disturbed wetland. The types of wetland impacts consist of clearing, filling, and excavation. Appendix B provides the detailed construction plans. 8.2 Stream Impacts The project will also entail unavoidable impacts to a perennial stream channel. Construction of the RSA will impact 779 linear feet of Reedy Branch. Stream impacts will result from placing Reedy Branch in a culvert to allow the RSA to extend 1,000 feet from the end of the runway. Appendix B provides the detailed construction plans. The base flow will be conveyed in a central box culvert buried approximately one foot and lower than the two adjacent box culverts. The two adjacent box culverts will convey storm flows only. 8.3 Riparian Buffer Impacts The existence and extent of buffered streams were established from the 1:24,000 USGS topographic map, the most recent version of the NRCS Soil Survey, and a field visit conducted by Martin Richmond of NCDWQ's Raleigh Regional Office (Appendix Q. The only buffered channel in the impact area is Reedy Branch. Construction of the RSA will result in impacts to 48,467 square feet of Zone 1 (first 30 feet) and 30,659 square feet of Zone 2 (outer 20 feet). Impacts to riparian buffers from RSA construction are permitted by a NC Environmental Management Commission (NCEMC) General Major Variance (GMV) for expansions of and improvements to airport facilities. 9.0 MITIGATION Mitigation includes: a) avoidance; b) minimization; and c) compensation for unavoidable impacts. Mitigation of wetland impacts is recommended in accordance with Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines of the CWA (40 CFR 230), FHWA step-down procedures (23 CFR 777.1 et seq.), mitigation policy mandates articulated in the USACE/EPA Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), Executive Order 11990 (42 FR 26961) (1977), and USFWS mitigation policy directives (46 FR 7644-7663) (1981). Section 404(b)(1) Guidelines, the USACE/EPA MOA, and Executive Order 11990, stress avoidance and minimization as primary considerations for protection of wetlands. 33 Practicable alternatives analysis must be fully evaluated before compensatory mitigation can be discussed. USFWS policy also emphasizes avoidance and minimization. However, for unavoidable losses, the USFWS recommends that mitigation efforts be based on the value and scarcity of the habitat at risk. 9.1 Mitigation Procedure All alternatives RSA and Corporate Area alternatives include impacts to wetlands and streams. These wetlands and streams are part of the Neuse River Basin of eastern North Carolina, and is an important watershed for the region. Mitigation of these impacts comprises the primary environmental concern regarding the project. Prior to compensatory mitigation impacts must be avoided and minimized. Avoidance -Significant jurisdictional streams and wetland areas are present within the project area. During the planning and design phase of the project, efforts were made to avoid impacts to the greatest extent practicable. It was not be possible to avoid all impacts to jurisdictional areas, due to design constraints. The Applicant has gone to great lengths to avoid wetland, stream, and buffer impacts where practicable. Certain unavoidable impacts are necessary to fulfill the applicant's purpose and need. Minimization - The Applicant minimized impacts to wetlands, streams, and buffers in the design phase. The RSA and Corporate Area must meet FAA criteria. Minimization efforts include, using maximum allowable fill slopes, minimizing the Corporate Area pavement to protect 0.5 acres of wetland, burying the RSA culvert and lowering one box to concentrate base flow, and implementing stormwater controls to minimize secondary impacts to water quality. Following avoidance and minimization, compensatory mitigation for unavoidable wetlands and stream impacts can be accomplished via several methods, including: • On-Site Mitigation • Preservation of existing wetlands and/or streams • Restoration or enhancement of wetlands and/or streams • Creation of wetlands • Off-Site Mitigation • Preservation of existing wetlands and/or streams • Restoration or enhancement of wetlands and/or streams in HUC • Purchase of credits from approved Mitigation Bank and/or NCEEP in HUC The Federal Aviation Administration has discouraged on-site mitigation, in the form of areas that hold water such as retention and detention ponds and wetlands, due to concerns regarding potential wildlife hazards to aircraft operations on or near airfield areas (e.g., bird strikes) and future need for development of additional airport facilities that may impinge on on-site mitigation areas. As part of the 2003 EA, the Applicant engaged an environmental sub-consultant (L.S. Jernigan, Jr., PhD) to identify potential mitigation sites suitable for site specific mitigation in the 03020201 HUC. Dr. Jernigan was "unable to identify any potential successful sites" for "in-kind and out-of-kind mitigation", and recommended that "the project's best approach is to utilize the WRP (NCEEP) for mitigation efforts". 34 9.2 Compensatory Mitigation Plan The Applicant is proposing to mitigate for impacts to streams and wetlands at a 2:1 ratio. Buffer mitigation will be at a 3:1 ratio in Zone 1 and 1.5:1 ratio in Zone 2. Mitigation is proposed for the following impacts: • 8.84 acres of riparian wetland (17.7 WMUs) • 10.31 acres of non-riparian wetland (20.62 WMUs) • 779 feet of perennial stream channel (1,558 SMUs) • 48,467 square feet of Zone 1 buffer (145,401 BMUs) • 30,659 square feet of Zone 2 buffer (45,989 BMUs) Mitigation can be accomplished through on-site, project-specific off-site, NCEEP fee-in-lieu payment, or payment to an approved mitigation bank. On-site mitigation is not preferred to satisfy FAA guidance on waterfowl attractants. No on-site mitigation is proposed for the impacts. The Applicant conducted a mitigation site search as part of the EA process and no suitable sites were found in the vicinity of the airport. No project-specific offsite mitigation is proposed. The NCEEP accepted the project for its fee-in-lieu mitigation program on 8 April 2008. This acceptance expired on 8 October 2008. Prior to that acceptance expiration mitigation policy in NC General Assembly Law 2008-152 was passed which significantly changed mitigation policy in NC. NCDWQ implementation of 2008-152 mandates that where available stream and wetland mitigation must be accomplished through use of an approved mitigation bank in the same eight-digit HUC as the impacts or by the applicant (offsite or on-site). At the time of this application four approved mitigation banks exist in HUC 03020201. The Applicant proposes to satisfy all mitigation requirements through purchase of mitigation credits from an approved private mitigation provider(s) or, if necessary, from the NCEEP fee-in-lieu program (or a combination of both private banks and NCEEP). The availability of credits from specific mitigation providers has not yet been established. The Applicant will solicit quotes from approved mitigation providers and purchase credits prior to construction activities. 9.3 Additional Mitigation Activities Storm-Water Management In accordance with the Neuse River Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy post- construction stormwater BMPs will control peak flows (quantity) and treat run-off for nutrient control (quality). Nutrient removal targets of 85 percent of total suspended solids (TSS) and 4lbs/acre/year of Nitrogen (N) will be met through BMPs that include dry detention basins and engineered grass swales. Appendix E contains a stormwater management plan. Sedimentation Control The RSA and Corporate Area project will require an sediment control permit from NCDLQ. The Applicant will install and maintain all erosion control measures needed to minimize or . eliminate sediment from reaching Reedy Branch and Swift Creek. Additionally the proposed borrow area for the project is located on Airport property. Strict erosion control measures will be incorporated at the borrow area to prevent sediment from entering wetland and stream systems. 35 1?1 Erosion control measures will include: double rows of silt fencing, sediment pond with baffles and skimmer, rack and filter fabric inlet protection, gravel construction entrances, rock check dams, temporary seeding, and permanent seeding. Proper controls and mitigation measures will avoid impacts to water quality during construction. During construction, water pollution control will take place in accordance with FAA AC 150/5370- 10A, Standards for Specifying Construction of Airports, North Carolina statues, local requirements, and any requirements associated with construction in the Neuse River Basin. Additionally, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed Best Management Practices (BMP) measures to address Cumulative and Secondary Impacts (CSI) associated with projects and to mitigate impacts to fish and wildlife both generally and where Federally Endangered species exist. The Engineer will be responsible for assuring compliance to the extent that construction practices, construction operations, and construction work is involved. Temporary control measures will be developed and shown on the construction plans. Control measures will be implemented as depicted, or modified as site conditions dictate, as ordered by the Engineer during the life of the construction contract to control water pollution, soil erosion, and siltation. As long as proper erosion control measures are designed, installed, and maintained, no long-term adverse effects should be present as a result of this project. 10.0 PROTECTED SPECIES The Endangered Species Act requires each federal agency to ensure that any action by that agency is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any threatened or endangered species, or destroy, or adversely modify critical habitat for those species. 10.1 Federal Threatened and Endangered Species Species with the federal classification of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), or officially Proposed (P) for such listing, receive protection under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 US 1531 et seq.) as amended. The most recent list prepared by the USFWS indicates that four endangered species have ranges considered to extend into Johnston County. Table 13 lists these four species. Records held by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) were reviewed by WK Dickson in May 2008 to determine if any federal protected species have been documented from the project study area or the surrounding vicinity. Table 13. Federal Protected SnPriPC fnr lnhnctnn (-minty North ('nrnlin? • Common Name Scientific Name Federal Status Habitat Biological Present Conclusion Red-cockaded woodpecker Picoides borealis Endangered No No Effect Dwarf Alasmidonta wedgemussel heterodon Endangered Yes No Effect Tar River spinymussel Elliptio steinstansana Endangered Yes No Effect Michaux's sumac Rhus michauxii Endangered Yes No Effect 36 Investigations were completed in 1989 at the Johnston County Airport prior to the construction of the runway extension to determine if any endangered/threatened species or critical habitat were present and likely to be affected by the further construction of the airport. As a result of the investigations, the only species which has a propensity for occurring in the area is the Dwarf Wedge Mussel (Alasmondonta Hereodon). The mussel has been reported in the Neuse and Pamlico River systems (Swift Creek empties into the Neuse River). Evidence of these species, in light of the proposed projects that may affect Swift Creek, was cause for a further survey of Swift Creek on March 27, 1991, by Mr. John Alderman, staff biologist for the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. This field survey found that the Dwarf Wedge Mussel, as well as other related species, were located in the vicinity of the S.R.1501 Bridge Crossing. An additional reconnaissance survey was performed of the Swift Creek habitat in the airport project area. Results of that survey revealed that an abundance of Dwarf Wedge Mussel habitats exist. In 2002, Mr. John Alderman was contacted again. It was Mr. Alderman's opinion that performing another costly survey for the Dwarf Wedge Mussel should not be necessary. He confirmed that populations of the species still existed in the Swift Creek area. He suggested that any Federal and State guidelines would need to be followed to prevent any potential harmful effects of erosion and sedimentation during construction. In keeping with these findings, all construction efforts for the proposed projects will be designed to produce zero sediment/siltation into Swift Creek. DENR, and other State and Local regulatory agencies, prior to implementation will approve control methods. Additionally, The NCWRC has developed a set of criteria that could be followed to address and mitigate the secondary and cumulative impacts of projects in the area near endangered or threatened fresh water species. 10.2 Biological Conclusions RED-COCKADED WOODPECKER The red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) is 7 to 8.5 inches long, has a black head, prominent white cheek patch, and a black-and-white barred back. Males often have red markings (cockades) behind the eye, but the cockades may be absent or difficult to see (Potter et al. 1980). Primary habitat consists of mature to over-mature southern pine forests dominated by loblolly, long-leaf (P. palustris), slash (P. elliotii), and pond (P. serotina) pines (Henry 1989). Primary nest sites for RCWs include open pine stands greater than 60 years of age with little or no mid-story development. Nest cavity trees tend to occur in clusters, which are referred to as colonies (USFWS 2003). Optimal foraging habitat is comprised of open pine stands with large pines 60 years old or greater, low densities of small or medium pines, sparse or no hardwood midstory, and various species of bunchgrass for groundcover (USFWS 2003). However, open pine or pine/mixed hardwood stands over 30 years of age are considered potential foraging habitat (Henry 1989). Pine flatwoods or pine-dominated savannas, which have been maintained by frequent natural fires, serve as ideal nesting and foraging sites for this woodpecker. Development of a thick understory may result in abandonment of cavity trees. The woodpecker drills holes into the bark around the cavity 37 • entrance, resulting in a shiny, resinous buildup around the entrance that allows for easy detection of active nest trees (Henry 1989). A review of NHP records revealed one (1) red-cockaded woodpecker element occurrence (EO) that was last observed in January 1997. The location of this EO is on the east side of Smithfield along US-70. No suitable RCW habitat is found on the Airport property. As a result no effect to RCW is anticipated from the proposed project. BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT DWARF WEDGEMUSSEL The dwarf wedgemussel (DWM) rarely exceeds 1.5 in (3.8 cm) in length. The outer shell is brown or yellowish brown with faint green rays, and the nacre is bluish or silvery white. The shells of the females are somewhat wider than those of males. This species typically inhabits streams with moderate flow velocities and substrates varying in texture from gravel and coarse sand to mud with little silt deposition (USFWS 1993). It is generally found in association with other mussels but is never very numerous. As with other mussel species, the DWM has suffered from excess siltation in streams and rivers and from the toxic effects of various pollutants entering waterways. The proposed RSA includes a stream impact of 779 linear feet on Reedy Branch. Reedy Branch in the vicinity of the Airport is a series of beaver impoundments with few free flowing segments. No suitable habitat exists for DWM in the impounded channel. Coordination with USFWS (Appendix C) confirms that Reedy Branch in not suitable DWM habitat. Therefore, no effect to this species is anticipated as a result of the proposed project. Swift Creek in the vicinity of the Airport has a known DWM population. Reedy Branch is a tributary to Swift Creek approximately 1.5 miles downstream of the RSA. Adherence to strict erosion control measures as well as post construction stormwater BMPs will ensure that no impacts to water quality in Swift Creek will occur. BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT TAR RIVER SPINYMUSSEL The Tar spinymussel (TRSM), one of only three freshwater mussels in the world with spines, is a medium-sized mussel reaching about 2.5 inches in length. In young specimens, the shell's outer surface (periostracum) is an orange-brown color with greenish rays; adults are darker with inconspicuous rays. The inside of the shell (nacre) is yellow or pinkish at one end and bluish-white at the other. Juveniles may have as many as 12 spines; however, adult specimens tend to lose their spines as they mature. The TRSM lives in relatively silt-free uncompacted gravel and/or coarse sand in fast-flowing, well oxygenated stream reaches. It is found in association with other mussels, but it is never very numerous. It feeds by syphoning and filtering small food particles that are suspended in the water. The proposed RSA includes a stream impact of 779 linear feet on Reedy Branch. Reedy Branch in the vicinity of the Airport is a series of beaver impoundments with few free flowing segments. No suitable habitat exists for TRSM in the impounded channel. Therefore, no effect to this species is anticipated as a result of the proposed project. Swift Creek in the vicinity of the Airport may be considered TRSM habitat. Reedy Branch is a tributary to Swift Creek approximately 1.5 miles downstream of the RSA. Adherence to 38 strict erosion control measures as well as post construction stormwater BMPs will ensure that no impacts to water quality in Swift Creek will occur. BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT MICHAUX'S SUMAC Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy shrub, with erect stems from 1 to 3 feet in height. The compound leaves contain evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate leaflets. Most plants are unisexual; however, more recent observations have revealed plants with both male and female flowers on one plant. The flowers are small, borne in a terminal, erect, dense cluster, and colored greenish yellow to white. Flowering usually occurs from June to July; while the fruit, a red drupe, is produced through the months of August to October. Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils. Apparently, this plant survives best in areas where some form of disturbance has provided an open area. At least twelve of the plant's populations in North Carolina are on highway rights-of way, roadsides, or on the edges of artificially maintained clearings. Two other populations are in areas with periodic fires, and two populations exist on sites undergoing natural succession. One population is situated in a natural opening on the rim of a Carolina bay. A survey for Michaux's sumac was performed by WK Dickson in 2008. No individuals were observed in disturbed areas on the Airport property. Specifically the RSA and Corporate Area were investigated and no suitable habitat was found. BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT 10.3 Federal Species of Concern The USFWS list also includes a category of species designated as "Federal Species of Concern" (FSC). The FSC designation provides no federal protection under the ESA for the species listed. However, these species are listed because they may attain federally protected status in the future. The presence of potential habitat within the project study area has been evaluated in Table 14 for the FSC species listed for Johnston County. No surveys for FSC species have been conducted. In the course of other field investigations no FSC species have been observed. Table 14. Federal Species of Concern for lohnston Countv.

Currents, Circulation, or Drainage Patterns - Wetland and stream impacts are proposed; however, no changes to the overall drainage of the site are anticipated. Stormwater BMPs will treat both quantity and quality of run-off. Suspended Particulates and Turbidity - The Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan will be strictly enforced to maintain state water quality standards during construction. Water Quality - Overall water quality on the site is not expected to change significantly as a result of the new construction. Stormwater BMPs will treat both quantity and quality of run-off. Flood Control Functions -Alterations to the site will not affect flood control functions. Storm, Wave and Erosion Buffers - Not Applicable • Aquifer Recharge - The project will not have an effect on aquifer recharge. Baseflow - The project will not have an effect on baseflow. 11.2 Biological Characteristics and Anticipated Changes Special Aquatic Sites - Certain unavoidable impacts to wetlands and streams will result from this project; however, impacts have been minimized as much as practicable. Habitat for Fish and Other Aquatic Organisms - No significant habitat degradation is anticipated as a result of the project. Wildlife Habitat - No significant habitat degradation is anticipated as a result of the project. Fragmentation will occur in the Reedy Branch floodplain; however, those species occurring on the site are adaptable to fragmented landscapes. The selected Corporate Area alternative minimizes habitat fragmentation by utilizing a disturbed disjunct area. Endangered or Threatened Species - Due to a lack of suitable habitat in the project area, no impacts to federally protected species are anticipated from the proposed project. The USFWS has concurred with this assessment. 11.3 Human Use Characteristics and Impacts • Existing and Potential Water Supplies - The project will have no effect of existing or potential water supplies. Recreational or Commercial Fisheries - No effect. 40 Other Water Related Recreation - No effect. Aesthetics of Aquatic Ecosystem - No effect. The Reedy Branch floodplain in the vicinity of the RSA is currently maintained in an unnatural herbaceous/shrub condition for aircraft safety. Parks, National and Historic Properties, etc. - No effect. Traffic/Transportation Patterns - No effect. Energy Consumption/Generation - No effect. Navigation - No effect. Safety - No effect. Air Quality - No effect. Noise - No effect. Historic Properties - No effect. • Land Use Classification - No effect. Economics - The project will facilitate existing and future economic development in Johnston County and the Smithfield area. Property Values - Unknown. Regional Growth - The project is not intended as a driver of regional growth. Tax Revenues - No effect. Employment - No effect. Public Facilities - Not applicable. Business Activity - The project is intended to facilitate business activity in Johnston County and satisfy FAA regulations. Prime and Unique Farmland - No effect. Food and Fiber Production - No effect. • Water Quantity - No effect. Mineral Needs - No effect. 41 • Consideration of Private Property - No effect. Community Cohesion - No effect. Community Growth and Development - The project will facilitate future development in Johnston County. Relocations - None. Recreation - Not applicable. 11.4 Secondary and Cumulative Impacts No significant secondary and cumulative impact possibilities associated with this project have been identified. The JNX project is intended to facilitate existing economic development and aviation needs. The project is not intended to be a driver of new development. Downstream water quality is not expected to be negatively impacted due to strict sediment and erosion control measures and post-construction stormwater BMPs that will treat water quality as well as control water quantity. 12.0 CONCLUSION The RSA and Corporate Area project has been designed to minimize wetland and stream impacts while still satisfying the applicant's purpose and need. Wetland impacts consist of 8.84 acres of riparian wetlands and 10.31 acres of non-riparian wetlands. Stream impacts total 779 linear feet. Compensatory mitigation for stream and wetland impacts will be provided through the purchase of credits from approved mitigation banks and/or NCEEP. It is the team's desire to meet or exceed all state and federal regulatory requirements in order to construct an environmentally responsible airport expansion. • 42 r1 U 13.0 REFERENCES Cowardin, L.M., V.

Dear Mr. Brown, On behalf of Johnston County Airport Authority (Owner), WK Dickson is requesting a jurisdictional • Determination for the above referenced property (Action ID # 200120723). Two projects are proposed the Johnston County Airport (1) Extend the Runway Safety Area at the Northern end to the required 1000 feet; (2) Develop needed additional Aircraft Parking Apron and Hangar space (Corporate Area). The Johnston County Airport (JNX) is located approximately 26 miles southeast of Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) and approximately 3 miles northwest of the Town of Smithfield. JNX is a designated reliever for RDU. The proposed project area, being located entirely on airport property, is compatible with the existing land use of the immediate area. Adjacent land is primarily agricultural with parcels of low-density rural residential development. Enclosed are a location map, USGS map, soil map, aerial photography, survey map showing wetlands and stream on the property, jurisdictional determination forms, and routine wetland determination data forms. The delineation has been field verified by the USACE personnel twice. On January 25, 2006, James Shern and Jean Manuele met with Daniel Ingram to review the additional delineated areas east of the runway. On July 22 , 2008 Thomas Brown met with Daniel Ingram to review the requested Corporate Area re-delineation. 171 720 Corporate Center Drive Raleigh, NC 27607 Tel. 919.782.0495 Fax 919.782.9672 www.wk(iicl(son.com Transportation .

Explain: Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below. Z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally" (e.g., typically 3 months). 3 Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F. SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs • The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2 and Section HI.D.1.; otherwise, see Section HLB below. 1. TNW Identify TNW: Summarize rationale supporting determination: 2. Wetland adjacent to TNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent": B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY): This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rspanos have been met. The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round (perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section III.D.4. A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law. If the waterbody° is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the • waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.C below. 1.

SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW. Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus. Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example: • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or biological integrity of the TNW? Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented below: 1.

CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY): This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met. The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months).

If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section HI.D.4. A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law. • If the waterbody° is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW.

Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus. Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example: • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or biological integrity of the TNW? Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented below: 1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section I11.1): 2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to Section IILD: 3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to Section IILD: D. DETERMINATIONS OF JURISDICTIONAL FINDINGS. THE SUBJECT WATERS/WETLANDS ARE (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY): 1. TNWs and Adjacent Wetlands. Check all that apply and provide size estimates in review area: TNWs: linear feet width (ft), Or, acres. Wetlands adjacent to TNWs: acres. RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs. Tributaries of TNWs where tributaries typically flow year-round are jurisdictional. Provide data and rationale indicating that tributary is perennial: Tributary has been flowing during multiple site visits throughout year. Tributaries of TNW where tributaries have continuous flow "seasonally" (e.g., typically three months each year) are jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section III.B. Provide rationale indicating that tributary flows seasonally: • Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters in the review area (check all that apply): • Tributary waters: 874 linear feet 3 width (ft). Other non-wetland waters: acres. Identify type(s) of waters: 3. Non-RPWss that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs. Waterbody that is not a TNW or an RPW, but flows directly or indirectly into a TNW, and it has a significant nexus with a TNW is jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section III.C. Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters within the review area (check all that apply): Tributary waters: linear feet width (ft). Other non-wetland waters: acres. Identify type(s) of waters: 4. Wetlands directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs. Wetlands directly abut RPW and thus are jurisdictional as adjacent wetlands. Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow year-round. Provide data and rationale indicating that tributary is perennial in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly abutting an RPW: Wetlands are proximal, have a direct surface connection, are subject to regular flood events, and have a subsurface hydrologic connection. Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow "seasonally." Provide data indicating that tributary is seasonal in Section 111.13 and rationale in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly abutting an RPW: Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: 8.84 acres. 5. Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs. Wetlands that do not directly abut an RPW, but when considered in combination with the tributary to which they are adjacent and with similarly situated adjacent wetlands, have a significant nexus with a TNW are jurisidictional. Data supporting this • conclusion is provided at Section III.C. Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: acres. 6. Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs. Wetlands adjacent to such waters, and have when considered in combination with the tributary to which they are adjacent and with similarly situated adjacent wetlands, have a significant nexus with a TNW are jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section III.C. Provide estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: acres. 7. Impoundments of jurisdictional waters .9 As a general rule, the impoundment of a jurisdictional tributary remains jurisdictional. Demonstrate that impoundment was created from "waters of the U.S.," or Demonstrate that water meets the criteria for one of the categories presented above (1-6), or Demonstrate that water is isolated with a nexus to commerce (see E below). E. ISOLATED [INTERSTATE OR INTRA-STATE] WATERS, INCLUDING ISOLATED WETLANDS, THE USE, DEGRADATION OR DESTRUCTION OF WHICH COULD AFFECT INTERSTATE COMMERCE, INCLUDING ANY SUCH WATERS (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY):ro which are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or other purposes. from which fish or shellfish are or could be taken and sold in interstate or foreign commerce. which are or could be used for industrial purposes by industries in interstate commerce. Interstate isolated waters. Explain: Other factors. Explain: . gSee Footnote # 3. v To complete the analysis refer to the key in Section 111.13.6 of the Instructional Guidebook. 10 Prior to asserting or declining CWA jurisdiction based solely on this category, Corps Districts will elevate the action to Corps and EPA HQ for review consistent with the process described in the Corps/EPA Memorandum Regarding CWA Act Jurisdiction Following Rapanos. Identify water body and summarize rationale supporting determination: Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters in the review area (check all that apply): Tributary waters: linear feet width (ft). Other non-wetland waters: acres. Identify type(s) of waters: Wetlands: acres. NON-JURISDICTIONAL WATERS, INCLUDING WETLANDS (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY): If potential wetlands were assessed within the review area, these areas did not meet the criteria in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and/or appropriate Regional Supplements. Review area included isolated waters with no substantial nexus to interstate (or foreign) commerce. ? Prior to the Jan 2001 Supreme Court decision in "SWANCC," the review area would have been regulated based solely on the "Migratory Bird Rule" (MBR). Waters do not meet the "Significant Nexus" standard, where such a finding is required for jurisdiction. Explain: Other: (explain, if not covered above): Provide acreage estimates for non jurisdictional waters in the review area, where the sole potential basis of jurisdiction is the MBR factors (i.e., presence of migratory birds, presence of endangered species, use of water for irrigated agriculture), using best professional 'udgment (check all that apply): Non-wetland waters (i.e., rivers, streams): linear feet width (ft). Lakes/ponds: acres. Other non-wetland waters: acres. List type of aquatic resource: Wetlands: acres. • Provide acreage estimates for non jurisdictional waters in the review area that do not meet the "Significant Nexus" standard, where such a finding is required for jurisdiction (check all that apply): Non-wetland waters (i.e., rivers, streams): linear feet, width (ft).

Dickson 501 Commerce Drive NE Columbia. SC 29223 Dear Mr. Walker: R ??y L 63:1 Thank you for the opportunity to review the draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Runway Safety Extension and Aircraft Parking Apron Expansion at the Johnston County Airport, near Smithfield, North Carolina. This letter provides the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (Service) comments pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (Act). Section 7(a)(2) of the Act requires that all action agencies, 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 threatened or endangered species. Based on the information provided in the draft EA and other information available, it appears that your project has the potential to affect the dwarf wedgemussel (Wasmidonta heterodon), a federally endangered species that occurs in Swift Creek near the Johnston County Airport. The dwarf wedgemussel has been reported in the vicinity of SR 1501, approximately 0.5 mile from the proposed project site and the Service is very concerned about how this population may be impacted by the proposed project. While the Service is encouraged that the draft EA states that there are plans to incorporate the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission's guidelines to minimize cumulative and secondary impacts from project construction, the document provided no details about what measures would be included. The Service believes that the draft EA does not provide enough information to allow us to concur with a biological conclusion of "not likely to adversely affect." We request that you provide more detailed information about potential crossings of Swift and/or Reedy Branch Creek and their associated wetlands and how your sediment and erosion control and other measures will avoid and/or minimize impacts to these water resources and the dwarf wedgemussel. Thank you for the opportunity to review this project. If you have any questions or comments regarding our response, please contact Mr. Dale W. Suiter of this office at (919) 856-4520, Ext. 18 or Da1e_Suiter@fws.gov.

Our divisions have reidentified the weaknesses and information voids that the applicant will need to respond to before this department gives final project approval. This project could cause a variety of impacts including loss of wetlands, wildlife, aquatic habitat and other high quality resources. This raises the question of whether impacts can be reduced to less than significant levels to support a FONSI. In order to limit impacts, the FONSI should incorporate measures that will reduce impacts to less than significant levels. This approach yields the best opportunity for this department to approve a FONSI. The department encourages the applicant to directly notify our commenting divisions so questions are satisfactorily resolved. Specifically addressing our concerns yields the best opportunity for the department to avoid delays during the permit processing stage. Thank you for the opportunity to respond.

Project No. 03E-0148. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has reviewed the project for impacts to wildlife and fishery resources. A cursory site visit was made on December 19, 2002. We regret that time constraints delayed our response. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (as amended), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). Johnston County Airport, located off HWY 70 Business north of Smithfield, proposes to extend its runway safety area (RSA) to the FAA-required 1000 ft. and expand its aircraft parking apron and hangar space in response to increasing use of the facility by larger aircraft. Construction alternatives were considered for expanding the RSA to the north and to the south ends of the runway. The north alternative (preferred) would cross 550 linear ft. of Reedy Branch Creek, a tributary of Swift Creek in the Neuse River basin, filling approximately 10 acres of cut- over riparian wetlands that have become essentially marsh. The south alternative would encroach upon Swift Creek proper, affecting wetlands as shown in Table B-1 although in an unreported quantity. The listed Dwarf Wedge Mussel occurs in Swift Creek and has been collected in the vicinity of SR 1501,; approximately 0.5 mile from the project site.

The western site would impact 17.35 acres of cutover (1995) wetlands that have become fragmented and somewhat isolated hydrologically by road and airport development. Dense young hardwood saplings are the dominant vegetation on this site and habitat is provided for raccoon, opossum, muskrat, mink, songbirds, and various reptiles and amphibians. The eastern apron and hangar site would fill approximately 10 acres of "high quality" (undefined) wetlands associated with Reedy Branch Creek, requiring construction of.an elevated access road from US 70 to the site. We were unable to access this area at the time of our site visit. Proposed mitigative measures include use of a pre-cast arch culvert-bridge having an approximate 80-ft. span for the Reedy Branch Creek crossing, diversion of stormwater through sediment basins prior to discharge to Reedy Branch Creek with a goal of zero sediment inputs to Swift Creek, and construction during the drier summer months. The preferred option for wetland mitigation would be to use the NC Wetland Restoration Program (WRP), possibly in combination with onsite preservation or in-basin restoration. Also, the draft EA recommends that the recently developed guidance memorandum on mitigation of cumulative and secondary impacts (CSI) be incorporated into project design and construction. Several areas of the draft EA that we think need additional attention follow: 1. How many acres of wetlands would be impacted by the southern RSA extension alternative and what is their quality relative to those wetlands impacted by the preferred alternative? 2. A better description of the "high quality" wetlands on the eastern side of the runway that would be impacted by the eastern apron and hanger space construction alternative is needed. 3. Although use of a pre-cast culvert-bridge may avoid direct disturbance to the Reedy Branch Creek stream bed, the EA needs to better describe how this will occur. Is the 80-ft. span sufficiently wide to allow existing stream meanders to remain as well as maintain a wildlife travel corridor? 4. The 17.35 acres of cutover wetlands that would be filled by the preferred apron and hangar construction alternative presently appear to receive significant stormwater runoff from adjacent impervious surfaces before it enters Swift Creek. Based on the aerial photos it looks as though proposed construction would encompass the entire vegetated block, leaving no room for permanent stormwater retention basins. The EA should contain or be accompanied by an overall Stormwater Management Plan describing in particular detail how lost water quality protection functions would be compensated for in this area. The close proximity of wetland loss and impervious surface construction to Swift Creek and its listed Dwarf Wedge Mussel population makes this an especially sensitive project sub-site. I? Johnston Co. Airport Draft EA 3 5/14/2004 5. Due to the sensitivity of Swift Creek and its Dwarf Wedge Mussel population, we • would appreciate an opportunity to review the Sediment and Erosion Control Plan for the project. 6. Wetland mitigation for the project apparently hinges on the WRP receiving payment at least 18 months in advance of permit issuance to allow time for identification and implementation of a mitigation project. Is the airport willing and able to do this? We appreciate the EA's recommendation that project construction and design incorporate the CSI guidelines and would like to emphasize the need for this to occur due to the presence of the Dwarf Wedge Mussel in Swift Creek.

Ross Jr., Secretary SUBJECT: Comments on request for FONSI for the Johnston County Airport Runway Safety Area Extension and Aircraft Parking Apron Expansion Project REFERENCE: Project Number 04-0292 The proposed project will cross several streams in Johnston County, impacting rare species and significant natural heritage areas. A significant natural heritage area is an area of land or water identified by the NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) as being important for protection of the State's biodiversity. Significant natural heritage areas contain one or more Natural Heritage elements - high-quality or rare natural communities, rare species, and special animal habitats. The nationally significant natural heritage area potentially impacted by this project is the Swift Creek Aquatic Habitat which is home to several rare species. Rare aquatic animal species in the vicinity of the project include: Dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), a federal and state endangered species; Yellow lance (Elliptio lanceolata), a federal species of special concern and state endangered species; Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), a federal species of special concern and state endangered species; Roanoke slabshell (Elliptio roanokensis), a state threatened species; Eastem lampmussel (Lampsilis radiata), a state threatened species; Cape Fear spike (Elliptio marsupiobesa), a state species of special concern; Pinewoods shiner (Lythrurus matutinus), a federal species of special concern and state significantly rare species; and the Carolina madtom (Noturus furiosus), a state species of special concern. Clearly, this project has the potential to impact several rare species, and the NHP would like to see that all efforts are taken to minimize and mitigate impacts. NHP feels that the packet of information for the FONSI is not complete. Since we do not keep all draft Environmental Assessments that come through the State Clearinghouse, it is vital that information from previous documents be repeated. In this case, a detailed map is absolutely necessary. We also need to know if any changes to the draft EA were made, and if so, what they -tie. In addition, all comments from any reviewing agencies received should be included. 0 None hCaroiina 1601 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601 NahrallY Phone: 919-733-49841 FAX: 919-715-30601 Intemet: www.enr.state.nc.us/ENRI An Equal opportunity! Affirmative Action Employer - 50 % Recycled t 10 % Post Consumer Paper Natural Resources In earlier correspondence (dated 03 December 2002), NHP recommended that cumulative and , secondary impacts be addressed in accordance with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission's guidance document entitled: "Guidance Memorandum to Address and Mitigate Secondary and Cumulative Impacts to Aquatic and Terrestrial Wildlife Resources and Water Quality," found on the web at http://www.ncwildlife.org/pg07,WildlifeSpeciesConlpg7c3_impacts.pdf. Avoidance, minimization and mitigation measures were not detailed in the FONSI document. We are especially concerned about erosion control and stormwater control for such a project. The significance of the Swift Creek basin necessitates maximum efforts to be taken for siltation and sedimentation prevention during and after construction. In addition, the NHP would like to re- emphasize the necessity of preservation and restoration mitigation within the Swift Creek watershed, with riparian habitats receiving the highest priority for protection. At this point, since we cannot comment on whether or not mitigation measures are adequate, NHP cannot concur with a finding of no significant impact for this project. We would like to see a stronger commitment on the part of the airport to include WRC's guidance provisions as part of their mitigation efforts to offset the impacts of this project. Please let me know if I can provide more information. The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program looks forward to a collaborative effort to help protect the State's natural diversity.

The proposed development of this airport will require that the federal and local governmental units participate in the funding of this project and the development has been proposed for federal funding under the State Block Grant Program. Under the provision of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NCEPA) no funds may be dispersed until the funding agency has reviewed the potential environmental impacts of the proposed projects and has concluded that the impacts, if any, are acceptable. In the scoping of these projects, Johnston County was required to develop an Environmental Assessment (EA) meeting the provisions of both the federal and state environmental regulations. After the EA was circulated and reviewed by both state and federal agencies, the comments and concerns were addressed and it has been determined that the environmental impacts are minimal. As a result of this documentation, a Finding Of No Significant Impact (FONSI) is appropriate and acceptable in this matter. Johnston County is located in eastern North Carolina, bounded on the south by Sampson County, to the west by Harnett County, to the northwest by Wake County, to the northeast by Nash and Wilson Counties, and to the east by Wayne • County. The Johnston County Airport (JNX) is located approximately 23 nautical miles southeast of Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) and approximately 3 nautical miles northwest of the Town of Smithfield. JNX is a designated reliever for RDU. Based aircraft levels at the Johnston County Airport have increased from 49 based aircraft in 1985 to currently over 100 aircraft. Aircraft operations have also increased from a 1985 level of approximately 28,000 annually to approximately over 35,000 annually. Operations at the airport have evolved from primarily flight training to a corporate/business aircraft operations. As a reliever to RDU, JNX is designed to be a viable alternative to General Aviation (GA) operators in order to relieve congestion and enhance safety at RDU. Two projects are proposed at the Johnston County Airport: (1) Extend the Runway Safety Area at the Northern end to the required 1000 feet.; (2) Develop needed additional Aircraft Parking Apron and Hangar space. B. - Purpose and Need: Increases in based aircraft, total operations, and increased business aircraft activity at the Johnston County Airport have constrained existing facilities and reduced operational safety margins in terms of Federal Aviation Administration airport design standards and guidelines, ground-side circulation, and aircraft parking. • The EA evaluated the extension of the northern Runway Safety Area (RSA) (Runway end 21) and parking apron expansion. The RSA will be a cleared and • graded area 1000 ft. long and 500 ft. wide from the approach end of Runway 21. FAA design criteria requires that the RSA for a Category C-II airport be 1000 ft x 500 ft. The increased RSA provides a safer environment for aircraft and aircraft occupants in the event of an overshoot, undershoot, or the need to abort a takeoff roll. Subsequent to a commercial airliner crash in Little Rock, Arkansas, the FAA reiterated and strengthened its position to not allow non-standard RSA's. To relieve congestion and increase needed aircraft ramp circulation, the existing aircraft parking apron is to be extended to the west near SR 1501. Current efforts to increase apron and taxi space included the removal of several aircraft tie down positions to allow a wider taxilane area for the business type aircraft to utilized when taxiing. This provided a temporary solution to taxilane space, but effectively reduced the amount of aircraft storage space on the apron. The proposed project entails apron expansion for the purposes of additional aircraft parking and additional aircraft hangar storage. This will allow the needed 900 sq. ft per aircraft of space recommended by the FAA. Runway Safety Area Actual and projected increases in total operations, as well as increased operations by the business jet and corporate aircraft at Johnston County Airport are affecting the capacity and the safety of the airport. Changes to Federal Aviation Administration requirements have necessitated that an Runway Safety • Area (RSA) is necessary to provide safety for aviators, passengers, people on the ground, and to bring the airport in to compliance with current FAA standards and regulations. The Runway Safety Area enhances the safety for airplanes that undershoot, overrun or veer off the runway end. It also provides greater accessibility by fire fighting and rescue equipment to aircraft utilizing the emergency safety overrun. The extended runway safety. area is a cleared, drained, graded and seeded area symmetrically located about the extended runway centerline and adjacent to the end of the runway safety area. Its length, in this case, is approximately 1,000 feet from the existing runway end, measured along the extended runway centerline and its width is 500 feet. The extended runway safety area will be accommodated on existing airport property and no land acquisition is necessary. . Aircraft Apron and Corporate Hangar Area Expansion of the terminal area has been a critical need for several years, and based on the expected continued growth, will become increasingly important. There is presently no vacant hangar space and apron space is at capacity. Due to the size of aircraft operating at the airport, the airport has been forced to move aircraft and remove valuable parking locations to allow aircraft to safely transit through the terminal area. C7 • The preferred development area for terminal expansion is on the west side of the runway, south of and adjacent to the existing terminal area. Additional apron area was determined as part of the airport's Airport Layout Plan (ALP) Update in 1997. C. - Alternatives: The County considered 4 alternatives including a "No Action" alternative in the development of the EA for the RSA and 3 alternatives and a "No Action" alternative for the aircraft apron expansion. The EA contained an extensive discussion of these alternatives and the preferred alternative. The discussion will not be repeated here other than preferred alternative and "No Action" alternative for both the RSA and the apron expansion. The preferred alternative for the RSA project is extending the RSA 1000-feet with a width of the RSA to 500-feet (Runway 21 End). The potential impacts to Reedy Branch creek can be minimized by installing an arch culvert or bridge system. This alternative provides the needed increased utility and safety not found in the other alternatives, and is economically feasible and meets the project need in comparison to other alternatives. The "No Action" option, in the short term, would preserve the existing • surrounding natural environment. However, the "No Action" alternative is not consistent with the Federal Aviation Administration requirements, in that the project is needed to bring the airport's RSA within FAA standards and allow the airport to fulfill its role as an important reliever to the Raleigh-Durham International Airport. In light of historic trends in airport activity and projected increased demand, the airport will need to continue to provide services and this safety project will become increasingly important. Therefore, the "No Action" alternative is not a preferred alternative. The preferred alternative for the apron expansion is to develop apron and parking area between existing north and south apron areas. The apron area will require filling of approximately 17.35 acres of isolated and previously forested wetlands. The alternative is more economically feasible in that it does not require relocating or constructing a roadway, the purchase of property, or the displacement and relocation of residents as required by other studied alternatives. Costs associated with impacts to the isolated wetland area are expected to be less than those associated with mitigating any impacts to higher quality wetlands. The "No Action" alternative, in the short term, preserves the existing natural environment. However, the "No Action" alternative is not consistent with the ultimate plans for the Smithfield area, or the North Carolina Airport System Plan: and the airport continuing its role as an important reliever to the Raleigh-Durham is International Airport. The Alternative does not improve the safety or utility of the airport. In view of the continuing and projected growth at the Johnston County Airport, providing the orderly development of facilities to accommodate this activity is • paramount to the economic vitality of the area and the safety of the airport, aircraft occupants, and persons on and near the airport. The "No Action" alternative does not meet the Purpose and Need elements for the Project and it is not a preferred alternative. In order to develop the studied projects, no other additional projects will be necessary except those needed to mitigate any adverse environmental effects that were identified in the EA. All of the proposed development will occur on property currently owned and controlled by the Airport Authority. The primary concerns recognized in the EA of wetland and stream impacts and potential endangered species impacts are addressed in later portions of this FONSI. D. - Environmental Impact Categories Summer: Noise: The projects discussed are not going to alter any airport noise patterns that exist or that have been previously documented. Further, FAA Handbook 5050.4A states that "no noise analysis is needed for proposals involving design Group I and II airplanes on utility or transport type airports whose forecast operations in the period covered by the environmental assessment do not exceed 90,000 annual propeller operations, or 700 annual adjusted jet operations." • Forecasts presented in the EA depict forecast jet, and overall operations, for the airport. Johnston County is not expected to exceed 90,000 annual operations, nor is it expected to exceed over 700 jet operations. The jet fleet operations at Johnston County Airport must be adjusted for Cessna Citation 500 and Learjet 35, or equivalent aircraft, operations. According to FAA Handbook 5050.4A, these two aircraft are quieter than many propeller driven aircraft and are to be counted as propeller operations. Once jet operations for the airport are adjusted by type aircraft, "adjusted" jet operations are below the requirements for a noise analysis. A detailed discussion of noise, and the potential related impacts took place in the EA and will not be repeated here. Therefore, it may be assumed that there will be no significant noise impacts. Compatible Land Use: The compatibility of existing and planned land uses in the vicinity of an airport is usually associated with two factors: a) the extent of noise impacts related to the airport and related development and, b) consistency with local land use plans and development policies. The lack of noise impacts as previously discussed in this document and none of the planned land uses for any of the alternatives are incompatible with planned land uses as described in the Johnston County land use guidance and zoning regulations. It can be concluded that there are no significant compatible land use impacts. • Social Impacts: • A principal social impact considered here is the potential relocations or other community disruption that may be caused by the proposed activities. The proposed extension of the runway safety area and terminal area expansions will not involve the need to relocate any residence or business; divide or disrupt established communities; disrupt orderly, planned development; or create an appreciable change in employment. There will be no negative defined social impacts as a result of the apron expansion and RSA extension project. Therefore, no further analysis is needed. Induced Socioeconomic Impacts: This category is primarily concerned with induced or secondary impacts on the surrounding communities. Induced impacts are usually not considered significant unless there are significant impacts in other categories especially noise, land use or direct social impacts. Induced socioeconomic impacts of airport development normally involve shifts in population, increased public service use, or changes in the local business and economic climate. The positive economic impacts of the airport have been substantial, and the proposed actions are expected to extend these positive impacts to the local community and region. The RSA and terminal area expansion would be expected to have positive • induced socioeconomic impacts due to the opportunity for the airport to serve existing corporate users more efficiently and safely. Based on the previous discussions here and in the EA there are not any anticipated negative impacts that will require further analysis in this area Air Quality: Assessment of air quality impact from the volume of aircraft emissions by aircraft type predicted to use Johnston County Airport is not necessary in accordance with FAA Order 5050.4A, "Airport Environmental Handbook", Chapter 5, paragraph 47e(5)(c)1. This is predicated on the fact that the airport is classified "general aviation" as opposed to "commercial service", with forecasts of 42,600 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. In addition, North Carolina requires an air quality permit for the construction and modification of airport facilities designed to have at least 100,000 annual aircraft operations. The Johnston County Airport is below this threshold for existing and projected operations. Since no further analysis is needed it can be determined that there is not any significant impact. Any open burning that occurs during construction will adhere to all federal, state, and local regulations • 5 Water Quality: • A detailed discussion of the water quality effects was presented in the previously circulated EA, a portion of that discussion will be repeated here for consistency. Johnston County Airport is within the Neuse River Basin (NRB) and identified as an area of environmental significance. North Carolina has established Regulations that define how resources in the NRB are to be protected and preserved. North Carolina Administrative Code 26.0233 provides guidance on the type of development that can take place within the NRB. Airport development impacting greater than 150 linear feet of stream or more than one- third (1/3) an acre of riparian buffer are allowable with mitigation. This is the pretext under which, the proposed projects presented in the EA were prepared and subsequent design of the project will occur. Runway Safety Area The Runway Safety Area (RSA) project is proposed to be constructed on the north end of the runway extending approximately 1,000 feet from the runway end and 500 feet wide. Construction of the RSA will impact approximately 550 linear feet of the Reedy Branch creek. The RSA will cross Reedy Branch and will require that a culvert or culverts, with an approximate 80-ft.span, be included as an integral part of the construction. The proposed culvert will likely be pre-cast concrete arch culvert-bridge. Use of the precast arch culvert-bridge minimizes streambed impacts. The culvert is supported by footings on banks of the • culverted stream and therefore minimizes streambed disturbance. Culverting the stream will allow continued flow of the stream through its natural streambed as well as construction of a properly graded Runway Safety Area. Construction of the Runway Safety Area will require that underbrush be removed from the construction area. Approximately 150,000 cubic yards of fill material will be placed, compacted, and turfed to create the Runway Safety Area. The proposed construction area has been previously cleared so clearing will not be extensive: This project has not gone to the design phase and specific design data will be based upon State and Local permitting requirements, as well as FAA criteria. Borrow area for the fill material is from an existing stockpile of material and is located adjacent to and east of the north end of the runway. It consists of an upland area, on airport property and poses no threat to Reedy Branch since approved erosion control measures will be implemented. Aircraft Apron and Corporate Hangar Area Construction of the proposed apron/hangar area which is located on the west side of the runway, between the north and south hangar areas, will require the clearing of underbrush and filling an isolated palustrine wetland of about 17.35 acres. The delineated wetland area was clear-cut of trees prior to 1985 and is now comprised primarily of dense growth young hardwoods. Mitigation efforts for • losses to any wetlands are addressed in the wetland portion of this document. 6 • Fill material will be obtained from an adjacent stockpile and from a stockpile east of the runway near the existing wind cone. Hauling will be by truck along a haul route to be established along the existing runway safety area. The construction site will be cleared and grubbed and stripped of all vegetation and organic matter. Debris will be burned if permitted/allowed by local authorities, otherwise it will be hauled off-site for disposal by the contractor. Drainage will be by sheet flow and open ditches where possible. In both cases actual design of sediment control measures will be developed during the design phase of the proposed projects. Proper controls and mitigation measures will avoid impacts to water quality during construction. During. construction, water pollution control will take place in accordance with FAA AC 150/5370-10A, Standards for Specifying Construction of Airports, North Carolina statues, local requirements, and any requirements associated with construction in the Neuse River Basin. Additionally, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed Best Management Practices (BMP) measures to address Cumulative and Secondary Impacts (CSI) associated with projects and to mitigate impacts to fish and wildlife both generally and where Federally Endangered species exist. The CSI measures will be made part of any design and construction of the projects. Since the airport already has implemented procedures for handling fuel/oil spills, • aircraft washing waste water, and petroleum product disposal which have proven to be effective, and since the proposed projects will do little if anything to change the character of these procedures. A water quality permit from the N.C. Division of Water Quality will be required for construction. The proposed projects will be constructed following N.C. Stormwater Regulations. A sedimentation and erosion control permit shall be obtained prior to commencing any construction. An extensive discussion of this topic was presented in the previously circulated EA and it can be concluded that the potential impacts on water quality will be minimized and mitigated. By utilizing avoidance, minimization, best management practices for stormwater management and mitigation, the proposed construction is not anticipated to have significant negative impacts on water quality issues. Section 303(c) Lands: Section 303(c), Title 49 USC, formerly known as Section 4(0 of the Department of Transportation Act, states that a project requiring the use of any publicly owned land from a public park, recreation area, or from a historic site of national, state, or local significance shall not be approved unless there is no feasible alternative to the use of such land. No public parks, recreation areas, or historic sites are located in the project areas for any of alternatives. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated for this topic. LI 7 Historic, Architectural, Archeological, and Cultural Resources: • Based on consultation with the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources, no historic, architectural, archeological, or cultural resources are known to exist in the project areas for any of the proposed construction. This information was detailed in the previously circulated EA. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated for this topic. Biotic Communities: The effects of the proposed action on wetlands and threatened and endangered species are discussed elsewhere in this document. If construction will cause only a minor permanent alteration of existing habitat, it may be assumed that there will be no significant impacts to biotic communities, particularly if the habitats affected represent a small percentage of the area's inventory and support a limited variety or number of common wildlife species. The majority of the biotic communities affected by construction of both the RSA and terminal area apron are in disturbed wetland areas and some habitat could be lost for game and non-game species indigenous to the area. However, impacts to species would not be significant because of the large area of undeveloped riparian wetland immediately adjacent to and south of the airport that is available for animal migration and relocation. Therefore, it may be assumed that there will be no significant impacts to biotic communities. Endangered and Threatened Species: The Endangered Species Act requires each federal agency to ensure that any action by that agency is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any threatened or endangered species, or destroy, or adversely modify critical habitat for those species. A detailed discussion of the endangered species was presented in the previously circulated EA and will not be repeated. As a result of previous investigations conducted at the airport it is known that endangered and threatened species are present in the area. Thus, in 2002, Mr. John Alderman staff biologist for the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission was contacted. It was Mr. Alderman's opinion that performing another costly survey for the Dwarf Wedge Mussel should not be necessary. He confirmed that populations of the species still existed in the Swift Creek area. He suggested that any Federal and State guidelines would need to be followed to prevent any potential harmful effects of erosion and sedimentation during construction. In keeping with these findings, all construction efforts for the proposed projects will be designed to produce no undue sediment/siltation into Swift Creek. DENR, and other State and Local regulatory agencies, prior to implementation will • approve control methods. Additionally, The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a set of criteria that could be followed to address and • mitigate the secondary and cumulative impacts of projects in area near endangered or threatened fresh water species. These guidelines will be utilized in developing siltation, sedimentation, and erosion control plans. A complete and thorough plan, once the project moves to the design phase, will alleviate or eliminate any potential adverse impacts to the Dwarf Wedge Mussel population. Therefore with these conditions, no significant impacts are anticipated for this topic. Wetlands and Streams: Wetland habitats are defined as those areas that are inundated by water with sufficient frequency and duration to support vegetation that is tolerant of saturated soil conditions. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (US Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual) utilizes specific hydrologic, soil and vegetation criteria in establishing the boundary of wetlands within their jurisdiction. A detailed discussion of the impacts took place in the previously circulated EA and only portions of it will be repeated here. The wetland/stream impacts associated with Runway Safety Area (RSA) consist of approximately 10 acres of primarily freshwater marsh with a few scattered shrubs and the channel of Reedy Branch. The 20-foot wide channel of Reedy • Branch runs along the toe of the slope from the existing runway (i.e. nearly all of the wetland impacts would be on the north side of the creek channel). Beavers, creating a pooled area of water that attracts waterfowl (a hazard to aircraft) have dammed the channel several times in the past. Reedy Branch is classified as C NSW (DWQ water quality classification). Although Reedy Branch is not one of DWQ's regular sample sites for bioclassification, it drains into Swift Creek downstream of the airport. During a previous period of construction (1992- 94) on the south end of the runway, the bioclassification of Swift Creek improved from "Good-Fair" in 1991 to "Good" in 1995 and 2000. Apparently, these previous construction activities adjacent to Swift Creek resulted in little, if any, negative impact to the water quality. The approximate 17.35 acre area proposed for parking/hangar facilities was a marginal wetland dominated by a mature, mixed Pine-Hardwood forest prior to 1985. The area was clear-cut in 1985 and is now comprised of young hardwoods (10-20 feet tall) with a few pine and a dense vine component Recognizing the need to mitigate any unavoidable wetland losses, the Airport Authority authorized a preliminary search for potential off-site mitigation areas. This search was limited in scope and not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather provide evidence of the existence of suitable sites in the vicinity of the airport. Recent emphasis on water quality concerns in the Neuse River watershed, and more specifically Swift Creek, would indicate a need to focus mitigation efforts within the Swift Creek watershed, if possible. The Airport Authority proposes several options for mitigating unavoidable • wetland losses. The North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program (NCWRP) is one of these options. Dr. Leon Jernigan (Environmental Consultant for the Airport Authority) has already met with NCWRP staff to familiarize them with the proposed project and to determine the procedure for using the NCWRP. A second option would be for the Airport Authority to find a suitable mitigation site and prepare a mitigation plan for restoration and monitoring. A third option involves preserving approximately 128 acres of on-site palustrine forested wetland via a conservation easement. This option alone would not be satisfactory compensatory mitigation but would preserve some riparian and non- riparian habitat along Swift Creek and Reedy Branch and could be used in conjunction with either of the first two options to reduce the mitigation ratio. The preferred option at this time would be to use the NCWRP with or without a conservation easement on the on-site preservation area. The project is eligible for inclusion in the NCWRP and a letter from the program was included in the EA. A more detailed mitigation plan will be developed upon issuance of appropriate permits and certifications. Therefore with approved mitigation, no significant impacts are anticipated for this topic. Floodplains: 0 Floodplains are defined in Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, as the lowland and relatively flat area adjoining inland and coastal waters including flood prone areas of offshore islands, floodplain areas of offshore islands, including at a minimum, "that area subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year" or the area that would be inundated by a 100-year flood. Based on consultation with the Army Corps of Engineers and examination of the applicable Flood Insurance Rate Map, none of the construction for the proposed projects will occur within the 100 year flood boundary, and none of the projects are expected to directly or indirectly support secondary development within a base floodplain (i.e., 100 year flood area). Therefore, it may be assumed that there are no floodplain impacts from any of the alternatives. Coastal Zone Management Programs: Johnston County is not one of the twenty counties regulated by the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC). Therefore the State's Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) does not apply to this project. • 10 • Coastal Barriers: Johnston County is not located in the Coastal Barriers Resource System (CBRS) or an Otherwise Protected Area (OPA). Therefore the Coastal Barrier Resource Act (CBRA) does not apply to this project. Wild and Scenic Rivers: The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, PL 90-542, as amended, describes those river area eligible to be included on a system afforded protection under the act. There is no wild and scenic river in the project area. Therefore, there are no anticipated impacts from any of the proposed construction to any federally designated wild and scenic rivers. Prime or Unique Farmlands: The proposed projects do not involve the purchase of or construction on Prime and Unique farmland under the Farmland Protection Policy Act. Therefore, it may be assumed there is no significant impact to farmland caused by the proposed project. Energy Supply and Natural Resources: Based on definitions given in FAA Order 5050.4A Airport Environmental Handbook, the proposed action will not have significant demands on energy supply or natural resources. It can thus be concluded that there will not be any significant impact and no further action is necessary. Light Emissions: The FAA requires the airport sponsor to consider the extent to which any lighting associated with an airport action will create an annoyance among people in surrounding areas. The types of lighting being installed, location, and method of use for the lighting should not have any significant impact on residences in the vicinity of the airport. If an annoyance lighting problem should develop from the new lighting installed then measures can be taken to reduce or eliminate the problem. There should not be a significant impact on this subject. Solid Waste Impacts: There are not any solid waste impacts known or anticipated due to the construction or operation of this project. In addition there are not any known impacts to existing or proposed solid waste facilities in the area. • ii Construction Impacts: . The types of impacts to be considered primarily are related to noise, air, water and flora and fauna impacts. There was a detailed discussion of the potential construction impacts and possible solutions in the EA. Basically, there are not any anticipated noise impacts that are not expected to unduly impact local residences or businesses and the other impacts have been discussed in other areas of this document. In general all applicable permits, (such as sediment and erosion control plans, and burning permits) and good construction techniques and best management practices (like those outlined in FAA Order 15015370 - 10 Standards for Specifying Construction of Airports) should alleviate any potential impacts in this subject. Environmental Justice Impacts: On February 11, 1994, President Clinton signed the Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations." A Presidential Memorandum directed to the heads of all Departments and Agencies accompanied the Executive Order 12898. The Memorandum states "each Federal agency shall analyze the environmental effects, including human health, economic and social effects, of Federal actions, including effects on minority communities and low-income communities, when such analysis is required by NEPA." Both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are divisions of the U.S. • Department of Transportation and are included in the DOT Order 5610.2 "Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-income Populations" (62 Federal Register 18377 et seq. (April 15, 1997). On December 2, 1998 the FHWA issued Order 6640.23 that establishes policies and procedures for the agency to use in complying with Executive Order 12898. While the DOT and FHWA policies and procedures require analysis of disproportionate impacts, they do not define thresholds for the analysis of Environmental Justice (EJ) impacts. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established thresholds for the determination of EJ impacts. In April 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4, which has jurisdiction for North Carolina, released its report entitled Interim Policy to Identify and Address Potential Environmental Justice Areas. This document defines environmental justice as "the fair treatment of people of all races, cultures, incomes, and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. Fair treatment implies that no population should be forced to shoulder a disproportionate share of exposure to the negative effects of pollution due to the lack of political or economic strength." The EPA Region 4 Interim Policy Report recommends relative thresholds be used as benchmarks to determine whether a substantial low-income and minority population would be adversely impacted. The relative threshold is determined as 1.2 times the state average of minority and low-income population. • 12 The minority percentages for the EA study area were compared to the minority • thresholds for Johnston County and the State of North Carolina in order to determine whether there was the potential for disproportionate impacts. All of the EA study area minority populations are below the state thresholds, and therefore there is no disproportionate impact on these populations from any of the alternatives. Based on information contained in the EA no disproportionate impacts to low income populations are expected from any of the alternatives. Therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated for this topic. Woodlands No woodlands will be impacted by the proposed airport projects. Prior to construction of the airport in 1985 portions of, now, airport property was cleared of trees in an effort to farm the land. The project area for the Corporate Hanger Area was cleared during those farming operations and some new growth in the proposed hangar construction area has occurred since the clearing operation. The new growth is in an isolated wetlands pocket. Further assessment of the area is discussed in the wetlands portions of this section. Wildlife Hazard Assessment The US Department of Agriculture conducted an assessment of potential wildlife hazards at the airport. Results of the assessment were in the previously • circulated EA. FAA Advisory Circular Number 150/5200-33 recommends that any land uses that are incompatible with safe airport operations including wetlands be located a minimum of 10,000 feet from an airport. Wetland and stream areas at Johnston County Airport are within hundreds of feet from the airport runway. During the USDA assessment wood ducks were sited on airport property. Wood ducks along with other birds of prey, waterfowl, and other species pose a significant threat to the safe operation of aircraft while aircraft are in the air or maneuvering on the ground. Reduction in the amount of close- proximity wetlands resulting from the proposed project will increase the benefit safety of the airport and aircraft passengers. E. - Environmental Consequences - Other Considerations: The EA has addressed all the anticipated specific environmental impacts for this project in both the construction phase and ultimate utilization of the project. There were not any controversial issues raised during the EA development. The project planning and subsequent design will take into account all anticipated environmental impacts and make great efforts to avoid and minimize them. The potential impacts to wetlands, endangered species, and general water quality all appear to be able to be mitigated. The proposed actions appear to be consistent with all federal, state, and local requirements for the surrounding area. As outlined in FAA Order 5050.4A Airport Environmental Handbook, Johnston • County provided opportunity for the general public to comment on the proposed 13 projects contained in the EA. They received no request to conduct a public hearing, thus no such hearing was held. • In conclusion, the EA has shown that the proposed project can be completed with no significant impact on the environment. All necessary permits are expected to be obtained without incident and any additional mitigation measures that may be necessary will be completed prior to, or when applicable in the construction process. F. - Recommendations: After careful review of the Environmental Assessment and comments and response from the coordination process, and the facts contained herein, the undersigned has found that the proposed project is consistent with the objectives of the national and state environmental policies. The objectives and polices are set forth in the National Environmental Policy Act and the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act, and the project will not significantly affect the quality of human environment or otherwise include any significant condition requiring further consultation with any federal, state, or local review agencies with the following exceptions which shall be made a condition of the environmental approval of this project: 1. Johnston County, or its appointed representative shall obtain any and all federal, state, or local permits (such as burning, sediment and erosion control, NPDES general construction permit, 401 WQC, 404, etc.,) prior • to construction of this project. 2. Any mitigation that might prove necessary shall be developed and implemented prior to, or during the construction phase of this project. Such mitigation may include but will not be limited to wetlands mitigation. 3. To the extent practicable every effort will be made to avoid and minimize environmental impacts in the development of this project. The development of this project will utilize best management practices and good construction techniques. 4. North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission Best Management Practices (BMP) and CSI measures will be made part of any design and construction of the projects. Therefore it is the undersigned's recommendation that the project be given a Finding Of No Significant Impact (FONSI) under the provisions set forth by the State of North Carolina Block Grant Program, and the National Environmental Policy Act. Richard W. Barkes Date Manager, Airport System Development Section • Division of Aviation, North Carolina Department of Transportation 14 W?WK FA community Infrastructure consultants May 23, 2005 Jean Manuele, USACE Sam Aghiminien, NCDWQ Debbie Edwards, NCDWQ Dale Suiter, USFWS Mark Bowers, USFWS John Ellis, USFWS Shari Bryant, NCWRC Sent via electronic mail RE: Pre Application Inter Agency Meeting for Johnston County Airport Extended Runway Safety Area and Apron/Aircraft Parking Hangar Area Expansion 404 Permit and 401 Certification 0 Dear Attendees: Thank you for making time in your schedule to meet on Wednesday, May 25. This letter provides background information on the project and directions to the airport site. Project Background .bhnston County Airport Authority (Authority) proposes two projects at bhnston County Airport (JNX): (1) Extend the Runway Safety Area at the northern end to the required 1000 feet (from the existing 300 feet); and (2) Develop needed additional Aircraft Parking Apron and Hangar Area. These projects were documented in an Environmental Assessment (FA) submitted to NCDOT Department of Aviation in September 2003. A FONSI was received in November 2003. JNX is a designated reliever airport for RDU. Based aircraft levels at JNX have increased from 49 in 1985 to currently over 100 based aircraft. Aircraft operations have also increased from a 1985 level of approximately 28,000 operations annually to approximately over 35,000 operations annually. Operations at the Airport have evolved from primarily flight training to a corporate/business aircraft operation. As a reliever to RDU, NX is designed to be a viable alternative to General Aviation (GA) operators in order to relieve congestion and enhance safety at RDU. Extended Runway Safety Area The extended runway safety area (ERSA) is a grassed area centered on the runway centerline that extends from the runway end. FAA design criteria require that the ERS4 for a Category C-II airport be 0 r? 1000 ft. long and 500 ft. wide. Its purpose is to support aircraft that may overrun or undershoot the runway without injury to the aircraft occupants or major damage to the aircraft. Existing ERSA dimensions for the north end of the runway is approximately 300 ft. long by 300 ft. wide. ERSAs are required by the FAA. JNX is currently operating under a deviation from standard RSA criteria that make available only portions of the runway length. Five alternatives were evaluated for the ERSA. The preferred ERSA alternative will require crossing approximately 550 feet of Reedy Branch and filling approximately seven acres of riparian wetlands. This was the only alternative that satisfied the purpose and need of the project. Aircraft Parking Apron and Hangar Area Expansion Expansion of the terminal area has been critical for several years and will become increasingly important based on expected continued growth. There is presently no vacant hangar or apron space. To relieve congestion and increase needed aircraft ramp circulation, the Authority proposes to expand the aircraft parking apron and hangar area. Current efforts to increase apron and taxi space included the removal of several aircraft tie-down positions; effectively reducing the amount of aircraft storage space on the apron. The proposed project entails apron expansion for the purposes of additional aircraft parking and additional hangar storage. This will allow the 900 ft2 per aircraft recommended by the FAA. 10 Four apron and hangar area alternatives were investigated. The preferred alternative will provide needed space for approximately 150 aircraft and provide needed aircraft movement area. The proposed Apron and Hangar Area is located between existing aircraft parking areas. Alternative A is in a non-riparian wetland area that was previously disturbed in 1995. This alternative requires filling approximately 17 acres of non-riparian wetland. This was the only alternative that satisfied the purpose and need of the project and did not involve additional stream crossings, residential relocations, or significant road re-alignments. Threatened and Endangered Species Investigations were completed in 1989 to determine if any protected species or critical habitat were present on the airport property. Species listed for Johnston County are in the table below. c/fe/97084/5-7asbil.doc 0 • Table 1. Federally listed threatened and endangered species in Johnston County Common Name Scientific Name Status Habitat Present Vertebrates Red-cockaded woodpecker Picoides borealis Endangered No Invertebrates Dwarf wedge mussel Alasmidonta heterodon Endangered Yes Tar spinymussel Elliptio steinstansana Endangered No Vascular Plants Michaux's sumac Rhus michauxii Endangered* No The only species with a propensity for occurring in the project area is the dwarf wedge mussel (DWM). A 1991 mussel in Swift Creek in the vicinity of JNX documented a dwarf wedge mussel population. It is understood that Swift Creek contains DWM habitat and supports active DWM populations. Reedy Branch in the vicinity of the proposed ERSA is a low gradient stream with a series of beaver impoundments. The lack of free flowing stream segments may result in degraded DWM habitat. • As mitigative measures for possible impacts to DWM the ERSA design will incorporate an arch-span culvert to eliminate direct impacts to the stream channel. The span will be wide enough to accommodate channel meanders. Additionally, all construction efforts will be designed to produce zero sedimentation/siltation into Swift Creek or its tributaries. The erosion and sediment control plans will be made available to all interested agencies for approval. Impacts to Jurisdictional Areas Potential impacts to jurisdictional areas are detailed in Table 2 below. Table 2.

This impact is unavoidable due to the nature of the ERSA. Reedy Branch in the vicinity of the proposed ERSA is a low gradient stream with a series of beaver impoundments. No free flowing reaches are proposed to be impacted. The stream channel is approximately 20 feet wide and 2-3 feet deep. The beaver dams have flooded the channel and silt and sediment deposits have accumulated in the channel. The 0 c/fe/97084/5-7asbil.doc • proposed ERSq design incorporates an arch-span culvert design to eliminate direct impacts to the stream channel. The crossing span will be approximately 80 feet wide to accommodate channel meanders. Relocating the channel around the RSA was investigated and determined to be unfeasible. The relocated channel would be approximately three times the length of the existing channel; resulting in an exceptionally low stream gradient. Also, extensive cut would be needed to construct the channel around the northeast corner of the RSA. There are no stream impacts associated with the proposed apron and hangar area expansion. Wetlands: Construction of the proposed RSA would result in approximately 7.61 acres of riparian wetland impact. These wetlands are primarily freshwater marsh with scattered shrubs. The area is inundated by a series of beaver impoundments. Dominant species include soft rush, smartweed, cattail, woolgrass, and sedges. The shrubs include black willow, tag alder, buttonbush, river birch, and red maple. The shrubs are periodically cut to maintain FAA clearance restrictions. Construction of the proposed Apron and Hangar Area would result in approximately 17.35 acres of non-riparian wetland impacts. The impacted wetland is a palustrine scrub-shrub wetland that was logged in 1995. Dominant species include red maple, sweetgum, loblolly pine, river birch, and black willow. • Mitigation: FAA guidance does not allow on-site wetland mitigation. Also, no suitable on-site stream mitigation is available. The Authority conducted a mitigation site search in 1995 that did not identify any suitable wetland mitigation areas. The Authority proposes utilizing a combination of on- site preservation and the NC EEP in-lieu fee program to mitigate for the proposed jurisdictional impacts. EEP is willing to accept payment for impacts associated with the JNX project. The onsite preservation area is a large stream and wetland system located to the east of the runway. The area is roughly bounded by Reedy Branch, Swift Creek, cleared runway area, and the existing mitigation area. This includes approximately 100 acres of riparian wetland and 4,000 linear feet of stream channel. c/fe/9708415-7asbil.doc 0 • Directions to Meeting The pre-application meeting will be held at 9:00 am on Wednesday, May 25.

Steve provided background on the airport operations and need for the ERSA and Apron/Hangar Area. I then explained the alternatives for each project area, design considerations, and anticipated jurisdictional impacts. The meeting was opened to comments. Debbie Edwards stated that since the project is in a nutrient sensitive waters watershed that stormwater controls must include water quality treatment (i.e. constructed wetland). Debbie also stated that the ERSA will likley be considered impervious surface due to compacted soil and will require stormwater controls. Dale Suiter asked about potential mussel habitat in Reedy Branch. I stated it was a series of beaver impoundments from the ERSA downstream to Sniift Creek and was not high quality mussel habitat. Dale concurred and felt that a mussel survey would likely not be required. Dale stated that the sediment and erosion control plan should be included in the permit • application to expedite the review process. .ban Manuele asked that a geotechnical investigation be conducted to determine if a bottomless culvert is feasible over Reedy Branch prior to submitting the permitban stated that the alternatives analysis in the permit application should be detailed and include economic impacts as well asjurisdictinal impacts. She wants to see real numbers. ban expressed that if airport operations continue to increase then additional expansion may be necessary in the future, resulting in opting for one of the previously rejected alternatives. If that is anticipated then she wondered why the best altnerative now is to completely destroy a natural wetland system. Steve replied that the airport does not have a long term growth strategy and is guided by the priciple of serving the community interests. Sam Aghimien shared ban's view that the alternatives analysis should be more rigorous. Jean also stated that the proposed preservation area to the southeast of the runway likely contains upland areas. The current JD expires in April 2006 and if the permit is not issued prior to that she will request we re-delineate that area to get an accurate preservation figure (delaying the permit). Additionally, the mitigation ratio for preservation could be increased if we redelineate now. Jean suggested we explore potential enhancement mitigation options in the beaver impacted forested areas of Reedy Branch (i.e. remove dams and replant trees). In the field Dale Suiter agreed that Reedy Branch in the vicinity of the ERSA is not suitable mussel habitat. Dale inquired about the downstream portions of Reedy Branch. I replied that there are more beaver dams located along Reedy Branch all the way to Shrift Creek. If suitable mussel habitat exists along Reedy Branch downstream of the ERSA then a mussel survey may be required to determine potential effects to dwarf wedge mussel. Jean stated that typically a bottomless culvert is considered to be "no impact" to a stream if no other waters are impacted. In this situation the bottomless culvert will span the creek channel but there will still be significant wetland impacts. The flooded nature of the stream system also makes it difficult to define the stream channel. The stream impacts may be lowered or the . mitigation ratios may be lowered as a result of the bottomless culvert design. The group then walked through the wetland area located east of the runway to determine the jurisdictional status of the area and survey Reedy Branch in that area. Jean again stated that she felt the area should be delineated with a "sharper pencil" to get an accurate view of the preservation area and to fully investigate other alternatives. We discussed utilizing the existing pond for stormwater control; ban stated that would constitute an impact to waters of the U.S since the USACE loses jurisdiction over stormwater ponds. Open water impacts may not require mitigation. Due to time constraints we did not reach Reedy Branch. I spoke briefly with Debbie Edwards regarding the south runway tree clearing. She stated strongly that those impacts need to be included in the permit application (join the projects). Additionally, she felt that the Airport should limit the clearing in the Swift Creek buffer to "topping" trees that penetrate the 50:1 slope. Jean, Debbie, and Dale would like to re-visit the site after the revised delineation is complete. Debbie needs to review a mapped stream in the proposed hangar area to determine if it is subject to buffer rules. Dale would like to survey more of Reedy Branch for mussel habitat. Jean stated that she will "fast track" this project and make time to review the new delineation as soon as possible. Jean thanked us for getting everyone together to provide input at one time. 0 Page 1 of 1 Daniel Ingram • From: Shari Bryant (bryants5@earthlink. net] Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 9:41 AM To: 'Manuele, Jean; Daniel Ingram Cc: 'Suiter, Dale'; 'Bowers, Mark'; 'Everhart, Steve' Subject: 404 - Johnston County Airport Attachments: EAJohnstonCo.AirportExpansion.doc; EAJohnstonCo,AirportExpansionFONSI.doc Jean, As we discussed at the on site meeting, here is a list of WRC concerns. WRC commented on the draft EA and the FONSI for this project (see attached files). Below is a list of concerns or information needed to effectively review the proposed 404 permit application: 1. There was some discussion regarding whether a bottomless culvert could be used. This needs to be clarified, and if a bottomless culvert can not be used at this site, what is the proposed alternative. 2. Evaluation of other alternatives discussed at the meeting (e.g., relocation of the road or constructing the apron/hangar on the upland area on the east side of the runway). 3. A detailed stormwater management plan should be included. Due to presence of dwarf wedgemussel in Swift Creek, we are concerned about the increase in impervious surface and its impact to water quality in the Swift Creek watershed. . 4. What is the proposed buffer width between project construction and Swift Creek? 5. A detailed soil and erosion control plan should be included. 6. Will the proposed improvements be "build-out" or are additional impacts proposed for the future. 7. Depending on the proposed impacts to Reedy Branch, a mussel survey may be needed. 8. A detailed mitigation plan should be included. In the future, the WRC contact for this project is Steve Everhart, Southeastern Region Coordinator. He can be reached at 910-796-7436 or by e-mail at steve.everhart(a.ncwildlife org Thanks. Shari L. Bryant N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission P.O.

Project No. 03E-0148. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has reviewed the project for impacts to wildlife and fishery resources. A cursory site visit was made on December 19, 2002. We regret that time constraints delayed our response. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (as amended), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). Johnston County Airport, located off HWY 70 Business north of Smithfield, proposes to extend its runway safety area (RSA) to the FAA-required 1000 ft. and expand its aircraft parking apron and hangar space in response to increasing use of the facility by larger aircraft. Construction alternatives were considered for expanding the RSA to the north and to the south ends of the runway. The north alternative (preferred) would cross 550 linear ft. of Reedy Branch Creek, a tributary of Swift Creek in the Neuse River basin, filling approximately 10 acres of cut- over riparian wetlands that have become essentially marsh. The south alternative would encroach upon Swift Creek proper, affecting wetlands as shown in Table B-1 although in an unreported quantity. The listedDwarf Wedge Mussel occurs in Swift Creek and has been, collected in the vicinity of SR f501, approximately 0.5 mile from the project site. Alternative sites considered for the aircraft parking apron and hangar space construction included an area 40 Johnston Co. Airport Draft EA 2 4/1/2009 • between existing apron/terminal areas on the western side of the runway (preferred) and an area on the undeveloped eastern side of the runway. The western site would impact 17.35 acres of cutover (1995) wetlands that have become fragmented and somewhat isolated hydrologically by road and airport development. Dense young hardwood saplings are the dominant vegetation on this site and habitat is provided for raccoon, opossum, muskrat, mink, songbirds, and various reptiles and amphibians. The eastern apron and hangar site would fill approximately 10 acres of "high quality" (undefined) wetlands associated with Reedy Branch Creek, requiring construction of an elevated access road from US 70 to the site. We were unable to access this area at the time of our site visit. Proposed mitigative measures include use of a pre-cast arch culvert-bridge having an approximate 80-ft. span for the Reedy Branch Creek crossing, diversion of stormwater through sediment basins prior to discharge to Reedy Branch Creek with a goal of zero sediment inputs to Swift Creek, and construction during the drier summer months. The preferred option for wetland mitigation would be to use the NC Wetland Restoration Program (WRP), possibly in combination with onsite preservation or in-basin restoration. Also, the draft EA recommends that the recently developed guidance memorandum on mitigation of cumulative and secondary impacts (CSI) be incorporated into project design and construction. Several areas of the draft EA that we think need additional attention follow: 1. How many acres of wetlands would be impacted by the southem RSA extension alternative and what is their quality relative to those wetlands impacted by the preferred alternative? 2. A better description of the "high quality" wetlands on the eastern side of the runway that would be impacted by the eastern apron and hanger space construction alternative is needed. 3. Although use of a pre-cast culvert-bridge may avoid direct disturbance to the Reedy Branch Creek stream bed, the EA needs to better describe how this will occur. Is the 80-ft. span sufficiently wide to allow existing stream meanders to remain as well as maintain a wildlife travel corridor? 4. The 17.35 acres of cutover wetlands that would be filled by the preferred apron and hangar construction alternative presently appear to receive significant stormwater runoff from adjacent impervious surfaces before it enters Swift Creek. Based on the aerial photos it looks as though proposed construction would encompass the entire vegetated block, leaving no room for permanent stormwater retention basins. The EA should contain or be accompanied by an overall Stormwater Management Plan describing in particular detail how lost water quality protection functions would be compensated for in this area. The close proximity of wetland loss and impervious surface construction to Swift Creek and its listed Dwarf Wedge Mussel population makes this an especially sensitive project sub-site. 0 Johnston Co. Airport Draft EA 4/1/2009 5. Due to the sensitivity of Swift Creek and its Dwarf Wedge Mussel population, we • would appreciate an opportunity to review the Sediment and Erosion Control Plan for the project. 6. Wetland mitigation for the project apparently hinges on the WRP receiving payment at least 18 months in advance of permit issuance to allow time for identification and implementation of a mitigation project. Is the airport willing and able to do this? We appreciate the EA's recommendation that project construction and design incorporate the CSI guidelines and would like to emphasize the need for this to occur due to the presence of the Dwarf Wedge Mussel in Swift Creek.

There are known populations of dwarf wedge mussel in Swift Creek (as well as other FSC mussel species) in the airport vicinity. While the project does not impact Swift Creek directly, the ERSA will cross Reedy Branch with an approximate 500-foot long culvert. Reedy Branch in this area is almost entirely impounded by beaver and has little to no free flowing segments. Beaver impoundments are located on Reedy Branch upstream and downstream of the project until its confluence with Swift Creek. I have attached an aerial photo of the ERSA site as well as some photos of Reedy Branch. It is our conclusion that Reedy Branch is not suitable habitat for dwarf wedge mussel due to the systemic impounded nature of the channel; and, no mussel surveys should be required. In May 2005 you attended an on-site agency meeting to discuss the 404/401 permit application. At the time of the agency meeting in May 2005 you verbally agreed that Reedy Branch was not suitable mussel habitat and no mussel surveys would likely be required. You also requested the erosion control plan be included with the permit application. WK Dickson intends to comply with the erosion control request. At this time WK Dickson is not planning on conducting any mussel surveys in Reedy Branch. Please let me know if you would like to schedule a site visit or meet in your office to further discuss this project and any anticipated survey efforts on Reedy Branch. Thank you for your assistance with this project.

Version 5.2, dated April 3, 2002 This General Major Variance ("GMV") from the Riparian Buffer Protection Rules in the Neuse (15A NCAC 2B .0233), Tar-Pamlico (15A NCAC 2B .0259), Randleman (15A NCAC 2B .02 50), and Catawba (15A NCAC 2B .0243) River Basins (collectively, the "Buffer Rules"), is hereby issued by the Water Quality Committee (WQC) of the N.C. Environmental Management Commission (EMC) for impacts to protected riparian buffers as long as the conditions prescribed below are met. Conditions: 1. This GMV applies to any project (a "Covered Airport Project") at or involving an Airport Facility, as defined below. An applicant (the "Applicant") for a variance for a Covered Airport Project under this GMV must submit to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) three copies of the DWQ General Major Variance Application Form (the "GMV Form") that describes how the GMV will be met. The GMV Form will require that the Applicant submit the following information • from the relevant Buffer Rules: 15A NCAC 2B .0233(9)(a)(i)-(iii), 15A NCAC 2B .0259(9)(a)(i)-(iii), 15A NCAC 2B .0249(c) and 15A NCAC 2B .0243(9)(a)(i)-(iii). As indicated the GMV Form, the Applicant need not submit information on the practical alternatives provisions of those rules except as required by an application for a 401 Water Quality Certification. A completed version of the most recent version of the joint Corps of Engineers and Division of Water Quality Preconstruction Application Form can be submitted in satisfaction of the requirement for a GMV Form. 2. Where a Covered Airport Project is subject to the requirements of the "No Practical Alternatives" test under the Water Supply rules (15A NCAC 2B .0214- .0216) ("Water Supply Rules") or the 401 Water Quality Certification rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) ("401 Rules"), or both of them, then the evaluation of whether there are practicable alternatives to impacts to wetlands, streams and buffers for such shall be performed under the "No Practicable Alternatives" provisions of those rules that apply. The determination as to the "No Practical Alternatives," when issued for either of these rules, shall constitute compliance with the "No Practical Alternatives" test in the Buffer Rules [15A NCAC 2B .0233(8), .0259(8),.0243(8) and.0250(2)(e) (the "No Practical Alternatives Provisions")]. For these purposes, this determination shall apply to the project as a whole, even if there are portions of the project that are not subject to the requirements of the "No Practical Alternatives" test under the Water Supply rules (15A NCAC 2B C] .0214-.0216) or the 401 Water Quality Certification rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), • or both of them. 3. Where a Covered Airport Project is not subject to the requirements of the "No Practical Alternatives" test under the Water Supply Rule or the 401 Rules, such project is hereby deemed to meet the No Practicable Alternatives Provisions of the buffer rules, and an authorization certificate for buffer rule approval will be issued for those projects if conditions 4 through 8 of this GMV are met. If only buffer rule approval is required, then DWQ may not add additional conditions to the authorization certificate other than those required to comply with Conditions 4 through 8. 4. Compensatory buffer mitigation will be performed as required by the buffer rules for Covered Airport Projects. This compensatory mitigation shall not be required to be done at the Airport Facility, but shall (to the extent practicable) be performed at locations as close as feasible to the Airport Facility. On-site mitigation shall, notwithstanding the foregoing, be required only to the extent allowed by FAA Requirements (as defined below) or other applicable federal statutes or rules. Mitigation plans must be approved in writing by the DWQ prior to construction of the mitigation and no later than one year after the date of the approval of the project under this GMV. 5. Any Covered Airport Project for which a 401 Water Quality Certification is not is required must be designed by the applicant to minimize any adverse impacts to Zone 1 of an affected buffer to the greatest extent practicable, consistent with FAA Requirements. 6. Any Covered Airport Project for which a 401 Water Quality Certification is not required must be designed by the applicant to include on-site stormwater management controls, to the extent required by the Buffer Rules and are otherwise practicable, consistent with the FAA Requirements. Before any new additional impervious surface associated with the Covered Airport Project is utilized after construction , the stormwater management facilities shown in the FAA filing must be constructed and operational and the approved stormwater management plan implemented. If the applicant is required to obtain a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Permit or a CAMA Major Permit, then a Stormwater Permit may be required from the DWQ. 7. The requirements of Conditions 5 and 6 are satisfied if the applicant, in any appropriate applications seeking FAA approval or review of the Covered Airport Project, includes a reference to the application to this GMV and the relevant buffer rules. In addition, the applicant must include a certification and explanation that the applicant, in designing the Covered Airport Project, has sought to comply with those requirements to the greatest extent practicable, consistently with FAA Requirements. CJ • 8. The applicant must receive written approval from the DWQ based on the submittal of the GMV Form for Airport Facilities acknowledging that these conditions have been met before any impacts occur to the riparian buffer. If a written response is not sent from DWQ within sixty (60) days from the receipt of a complete application for the GMV at the Office of the Director in Raleigh, N.C., then the application shall be deemed approved. 9. If these conditions cannot be met, or if the variance is issued with conditions unacceptable to the applicant, the applicant may request that the application for a GMV be forwarded (along with any response from DWQ) to the EMC, which shall consider and act on the application for an Individual Major or Minor Variance from the Buffer Rules. This GMV shall expire on September 12, 2006 unless it is renewed before that time by the EMC. Approvals issued under this GMV shall continue to be valid after that time, unless an expiration date is included in the Authorization Certificate.

Water Resources Division Columbia, South Carolina ps\'Vi ., community Infrastructure consultants 0 Culner7 Design -Fehr itarv 2009 Johnslon Counts, Arrport About the Project ,bhnston County Airport contracted with WK Dickson, Inc. (WKD) to design a Runway Safety Area (RS4) extension. The proposed extension will place fill in the stream area encroaching on Reedy Branch, a tributary of Swift Creek. In order to convey the stream flow through the RSA embankment, a culvert was proposed. A comprehensive stormwater study for the culvert installation for the runway safety area extension was developed. A precast segmental rectangular structure is projected for this installation. The foundation and structural design will be provided by the manufacturer and is not part of WKD Scope of Work. The purpose of this report is to describe the methodology used to design the crossing. Site The project is located at the end of the runway in bhnston County Airport, near Smithfield, North Carolina.

WKD collected data relevant for the project from Aerial Mapping and USGS Quadrangle Sheets. A Survey of four cross-sections of the creek (two upstream and two downstream of the culvert location) was obtained as part of the data necessary to execute the HEC-RAS model for the culvert design. Additionally, WKD surveyed the culverts under Swift Creek, located 630 feet upstream of the inlet of the proposed culvert. Hydrology The watershed acreage was obtained from the USGS map. Based on this amount, flow rates were calculated using USGS regression equation for the area. The map and calculations are included in Appendix A, Hydrologic Calculations. Table 1 shows the frequency and corresponding flows. Table 1. Rainfall Frequencies and Flows for Reedy Brach. Johnston County Airport. Frequency, In years Flow, in CFS 2 370 10 639 25 1201 50 1497 1010 1826 Based on the above flows, the HEC-RAS model was run for different culvert configurations. HEC-RAS is a one-dimensional steady flow hydraulic model designed to analyze channel flow and determine floodplain. The results of the model can be applied in floodplain management and headwater elevations. Since the watercourse is not a FEMA studied stream, there is no FEMA involvement is the stream analysis. Hydraulic and Environmental Considerations Hydraulic. The three arch culverts located at the Swift Creek crossing conveys the 10-year storm. The road is overtopped by the 25-year storm. The objective of the new culvert design is twofold: 1. To keep the water level below the Swift Creek Road Bridge for the 10-year storm and smaller frequencies, and 2. To minimize any water level increase for larger storms (25-, 50-, and 100-year storms). To comply with the above requirements, three culverts were proposed: two-10'x6' and one- 9x7' Reinforced Concrete Box Culverts. rkwl< IC KS(D c on n u-ity nfro str ictu rc c:- . u name Culvert Dcsi_an -Febrzran- 2009 Johnston Couniv Airpor! Environmental. The Reedy Branch is a tributary of Swift Creek, which discharges into the Neuse River. The Neuse River is an impaired stream with very specific NC Department of Water Quality (DWQ) stormwater rules. In addition, per NC DWQ requirements, the culvert has to comply with the following requirements: 1. The culvert cannot be a bottomless structure but rather a close section due to foundation issues; 2. It needs to be buried to allow for fish passage, and ; 3. Two of the boxes should be baffled or installed at a higher elevation 90 that the baseflow is contained in a single box. These issues were taken into consideration in the design of the culvert. To comply with the first requirement, rectangular box culverts (which have a bottom slab) were specified. As for issue no. 2, the central culvert is proposed to be buried for fish passage. Per the NC Guidelines for Drainage Studies and Hydraulic Design, for large culverts, the depth of bury shall be between 01 and 1.0 feet. A depth of 0.5 ft was assigned to these culverts. • With respect to point no. 3, the base flow for Reedy branch was obtained as follows. The USGS gauge on Marsh Creek in the same Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) has a mean daily discharge over the last 24 years of 9.45 cfs. By scaling that down the flow based on watershed size (6.8 sq mi vs. 4.3 sq mi), the Reedy Branch discharge will be 6.0 cfs. For a 9-foot width culvert, the necessary depth will be 0.3 ft. Calculations are shown in Appendix B, Baseflow Calculations. 0 FINAL CULVERT CONFIGURATIONN 10'x6' BOX CULVERT 9'x7' BOX CULVERT 10'x6' BOX CULVERT LATERAL CENTRAL LATERAL 0.5 FT 0.5-ft 0.5-FT 0.5 FT RAISED BASE BURIED RAISED CULVERT FLOW CULVERT is Wk ---iffy nfrast-1-c -- 1-Is Culvert Desi,n -February 2009 Johnston Corrn Airport • Figure 2 : Culverts Configuration.

Any attempt to avoid any increases resulted in extremely oversized culverts which implementation would not be economically feasible. Output files and profiles of the water levels for different frequencies and conditions are included in Appendix C, Hydraulics and HEC-RASsimulations. A disk with the computer runs is included in a pocket with the report. Geotechnical for Culvert Foundation • WKD prepared a boring program with input from the culvert manufacturer and the geotechnical engineer to establish the number and locations of borings required for foundation design. These borings were obtained, logged and evaluated by a drilling/geotechnical sub- consultant, WPC. A copy of the geotechnical report is enclosed in Appendix D. Geotechnical recommendations for the culvert state that, in order to reach net bearing pressures of 4,000 PSF, foundations should be extended 6 feet below the natural ground in the culvert area. Erosion Control WKD will prepare the sediment and erosion control plan for the construction work in accordance with the NC DENR regulations and Johnston County requirements to be depicted on the construction plans. The stormwater conveyance system from the runway safety area to the creek will was designed to carry the 10-year storm event to suitable and stable outfalls. Detention and or water quality will be designed as per NC DENR and Johnston County regulations if required.
