William Wescott started the meeting by requesting introductions of those in the room. Beth Smyre then reviewed the
purpose of the meeting, noting that the majority of the Avoidance and Minimization efforts were focused on the NC 903
,�
interchange and the minimization of impacts to the Renston Rural Historic District. Brian Eason and Kristin Maseman then
gave a presentation reviewing the information provided in the merger meeting packet; they described the five potential
options for modifying the NC 903 interchange design to minimize impacts on the contributing properties and contributing
structures in the Renston Rural Historic District, including two options that would remove the interchange. The presentation
also included the results of an analysis of the traffic impacts of removing the NC 903 interchange and a review of impacts of
the preferred alternative and the minimization options on water resources. Ms. Smyre then opened the meeting to Guestions
and discussion.
Tom Tysinger asked for clarification on whether removing the NC 903 interchange would not impact traffic on NC 11. Mr.
Eason responded that the traffic forecast predicted that this scenario would increase design year trafiic volumes on NC 1 l by
5 percent, but that there would be no change in the level of service. Mr. Tysinger questioned why the forecast showed that
traffic volumes on NC 903 would decrease in the absence of the interchange. Mr. Eason responded that when the forecast
was done the current model was not yet complete, so [he forecast had to be done using trend analysis, although the
methodology used was approved by the Transportation Planning Branch.
Ms. Smyre stated that NCDOT believes tha[ Minimization Option #5 (removing the NC 903 interchange and shifting
westward the alignment of the Bypass) would be preferable as it would avoid all con[ributing struc[ures in the Historic
District and offer the greatest reduction in the impacted acreage on contributing properties, while removing the interchange
would generally no[ have a negative impact on levels of service on the surrounding road network. She added that NCDOT
recognizes that there would be a slight inerease in total stream impacts under this scenario and that there will be slight
increases in traffic volumes on some nearby road segments. She stated that NCDOT will monitor intersections around the
NC 903 area and address any problems that may arise as needed.
Mr. Tysinger stated that there is already some local opposition to the project in the Forlines Road area due to potential
increases in traffic volumes along Forlines Road as a result of the projec[. Removing the NC 903 interchange, which could
possibly lead to a greater increase in traffic on Forlines, may lead to even greater concerns among these opponents. He also
sta[ed that the area around Forlines and Frog Level Road, which are both forecasted to experience traffic increases with
removal of the interchange, is a rapidly growing area. However, he indicated that, despite these concerns, the MPO would
like to avoid further delays in [he project, so he will support a decision to remove the interchange.
. David Wainwright asked for further information about the stream that will receive increased impacts under Option #5. He
was referred to a table in the merger agenda packet with information on stream UTHP. '
Ms. Smyre gave a brief review of the archaeological survey recently completed for the project and stated that no sites eligible
for the Na[ional Register were found. She explained that the archaeological report has been sent to HPO for review. Ms.
Smyre also reviewed the schedule for the remainder of the project, stating that the FEIS should be complete in November, the
ROD should be complete next February, and right-of-way acquisition should begin during the spring of 2009.
Before team members began signing the concunence form, Chris Militscher asked if the form included a statement that noise
walls would be constructed as they are shown to be needed as part of minimization. Ms. Smyre edited the concurrence form
to include this provision and all team members present signed. Mr. Militscher also asked whether the project included a
provision for 3:1 side slopes to limit water quality impacts. Steve Browde indicated that this was incorporated throughout the
design of the project:
These minutes were recorded by HW Lochner, Inc. and are a summary of the meeting discussions and decisions

David Wainwright, Division of Water Quality�
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
Comments on the Final Environmental Impact Statement related to proposed Southwest
Greenville Bypass, Pitt County, TIP R-2250.
This office has reviewed the referenced document dated December 20, 2007. The Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) is responsible for the issuance of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for
activities that impact Waters of the U.S., including wetlands. It is our understanding that the project as
presented will result in impacts to jurisdictional wetlands, streams, and other surface waters. The DWQ
offers the following comments based on review of the aforementioned document:
Project Specific Comments:
This project is being planned as part of the 404/NEPA Merger Process. As a participating team
member, the NCDWQ will continue to work with the team.
2. Harris Mill Run, Greens Mill Run, Swift Creek, Gum Swamp, Nobel Canal, Horsepen Swamp,
Simmons Branch, Fork Swamp, and Little Contenfiea Creek aze class C; NSW waters of the State.
DWQ is very concemed with sediment and emsion impacts that could result from this project.
DWQ recommends that highly protective sediment and erosion control BMPs be implemented to
reduce the risk of nutrient runoffto these Creeks. DWQ requests that road design plans provide
treatment of the storm water runoff through best management practices as detailed in the most
recent version of NC DWQ Stormwater Best Management Practrces.
3. Although they may not be impacted directly by the preferred alternative, both Little Contentnea
Creek and Swift Creek are class C:Sw;NSW; 303(d) waters of the State, and the project will impact
several tributaries to them. Swift Creek is on the 2006 303(d) list for impaired use of aquatic life
due to biological integity; Little Contentnea Creek is on the 2006 303(d) list for low dissolved
oxygen. Discharges to Little Contentnea and Swift Creek's tributaries may have an adverse effect
on these streams themselves, especially with regards to sediment and erosion from this p�oject.
DWQ recommends that the most protective sediment and erosion control BMPs be implemented to
reduce the risk of nutrient runoff from reaching Little Contentnea Creek and Swift Creek. DWQ
requests that road design plans provide treatrnent of the storm water runoff tivough best
management practices as detailed in the most recent version of NC DWQ Stormwater Best
Management Practices.
4. This project is within the Neuse and Taz-Pamlico River Basins. Ripazian buffer impacts should be
avoided and minimized to the greatest extent possible pursuant to 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (Neuse
River Basin) and 15A NCAC 2B.0259 (Tar-Pamlico River Basin). New development activities

An Equal OpporWnily/Alfimiative Acli�on Empbyer- 50% Recyded/1096 Post Cansumer Paper
located in the protected 50-foot wide riparian areas within the basin shall be limited to "uses"
identified within and constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0233 and 15A NCAC
2B.0259. Buffer mitigation may be required for buffer impacts resulting from activities classified
as "allowable with mitigation" within the "Table of Uses" section of the Buffer Rules or require a
variance under the Buffer Rules. A buffer mitigation plan, including use of the NC Ecosystem
Enhancement Program, must be provided to DWQ prior to approval of the Water Quality
Certification.
General Comments:
Environmental documentation should provide a detailed and itemized presentation of the proposed
impacts to wetlands and streams with corresponding mapping. If mitigation is necessary as required
by 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h), it is preferable to present a conceptual (if not finalized) mitigation plan =
with the environmental documentation. Appropriate mitigation plans will be required prior to
issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification.
6. Environmental assessment alternatives should consider design criteria that reduce the impacts to
streams and wetlands from storm water runof£ These alternatives should include road designs that
allow for treatment of the storm water runoff through best management practices as detailed in the
most recent version of NC DWQ Stormwater Best Management Practices, such as grassed swales,
buffer areas, preformed scour holes, retention basins, etc.
7. After the selection of the preferred alternative and prior to an issuance of the 401. Water Quality
Certification, the NCDOT is respectfully reminded that they will need to demonstrate the avoidance
and minimization of impacts to wetlands (and streams) to the maximum extent practical. In
accordance with the Environmental Management Commission's Rules { 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h)},
mitigation will be required for impacts of greater than 1 acre to wetlands. In the event that
mitigation is required, the mitigation plan should be designed to replace appropriate lost functions
and values. TheNC Ecosystem Enhancement Program may be available for use as wetland
mitigation.
8. In accordance with the Environmental Management Commission's Rules { 15A NCAC
2H.0506(h)}, mitigation will be required for impacts of greater than 1501inear feet to any single
perennial stream. In the event that mitigation is required, the mitigation plan should be designed to
replace appropriate lost functions and values. The NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program may be
available for use as stream mitigation.
9. Future documentation, including the 401 Water Quality Certification application, should continue to
include an itemized listing of the proposed wetland and stream impacts with corresponding
mapping.
10. The DWQ is very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that could result from this project.
The NCDOT should address these concerns by describing the potential impacts that may occur to
the aquatic environments and any mitigating factors that would reduce the impacts.
11. The NCDOT is respectfully reminded that all impacts, including but not limited to, bridging, fill,
excavation and clearing, to jurisdictional wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers need to be included
in the final impact calculations. These impacts, in addition to any construction impacts, temporary
or otherwise, also need to be included as part of the 401 Water Quality Certification Application.
12. Sediment and erosion control measures should not be placed in wetlands or streams.
13. Borrow/waste areas should avoid wetlands to the maximum extent practical. Impacts to wetlands in
borrow/waste areas will need to be presented in the 401 Water Quality Certification application and
could precipitate compensatory mitigation.
14. The 401 Water Quality Certification application will need to specifically address the proposed
methods for stormwater management. More specifically, stormwater should not be permitted to
discharge directly into streams or surface waters.
15. Based �on the information presented in the document, the magnitude of impacts to wetlands and
streams may require an Individual Permit (IP) application to the Corps of Engineers and
corresponding 401 Water Quality Certification. Please be advised that a 401 Water Quality
Certification requires satisfactory protection of water quality to ensure that water quality standards
are met and no wetland or stream uses are lost. Final permit authorization will require the submittal
of a formal application by the NCDOT and written concurrence from the NCDWQ. Please be
aware that any approval will be contingent on appropriate avoidance and minimization of wetland
and stream impacts to the maximum extent practical, the development of an acceptable stormwater
management plan, and the inclusion of appropriate mitigation plans where appropriate.
16. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area should be maintained to prevent direct
contact between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured
concrete should not be discharged to surFace waters due tb the potential for elevated pH and
possible aquatic life and fish kills. .
17. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. Disturbed areas should be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and
appropriate native woody species should be planted. When using temporary structures the area
should be cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other
mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact allows the area to re-vegetate
naturally and minimizes soil disturbance.
18. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands shall be placed below
the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches,
and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow
low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures
including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the
above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being
maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or
other limiting features encountered during construction, please contact the DWQ for guidance on
how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
19. If multiple pipes or barrels are required; they should be designed to mimic natural stream cross
section as closely as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where
appropriate. Widening the stre�am �aan eases wa er veloc tyc susnB dimentldepos t on thate inlet
or outlet end of slructures typ Y
requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
20. If foundation test borings aze necessary; it should be noted in the document. Geotechnical work is
approved under General 401 Certification Number 3494/Nationwide Permit No. 6 for Survey
Activities.
21 and�ma ntained in acco dance with the mo��recent version ofNorth Carolina Sedimentpand Eros on
Control Planning and Design Manua1 and the most recent version of NCS000250. .
22, All work in or adjacent to stream H'aters should be conducted in a dry work azea. Approved BMP
measures from the most current version of the NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities
manual such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams and other diversion structw'es should be used to
prevent excavation in flowing water.
23, Whi1e the use of National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps, NC Coastal Region Evaluation of
Wetland Significance (NGCREWS) maps and soil survey maps are useful tools, their inherent
inaccuracies require that qualified personnel perPorm onsite wetland delineations prior to permit
approval.
24. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in stream channels in order to
minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into streams• 7`his
equipment should be inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters
from leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials•
25. Riprap should not be placed in �e Bicen n ering boulders orastruotures shs ou d b�ProP riy ner

2(> Riparian vegetation (native trees and shrubs) should be preserved to the ma�cimum e�ctent possible.
Riparian vegetation must be reestahGshed within the construction limits of the project bY the end of
the �'owing season following completion of construction.

NCDOT WBS No.: 3441 I(TIP No. R-2250)
I. INTRODUCTION
The NCDOT proposes to provide transportation improvemenu to ease congestion on Memorial
Drive (NC I I) and Suntonsburg Road (US 264 Business) in Pitt County, North Carolina. This
project is identified in the 2007-2013 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) as TIP Project
Number R-2250 and is located in the vicinity of southwest Greenville, Winterville, and Ayden.
The purpose of this meeting is to select a minimization option for the NC 903 interchange design and
to discuss additional impact avoidance and minimization strategies identified since the preliminary
design of the preferred alternative (Concurrence Point 4A).
II. PROjECT HISTORY AND CURRENT STATUS
A. Project History
In 1993, NCDOT began studying alternatives for R-2250. The coordination for this project, including
agency scoping, was initiated in October 1993. Several alternatives were developed and presented at
agency meetings and public workshops between 1993 and 2000.
A Merger Meeting for Concurrence Point I(Purpose and Need) was held in February 2001. The
purpose and need of the project is to "ease existing and anticipated traffic congestion on NC I I
(Memorial Drive) in Greenville."
A series of ineetings was held to identify Concurrence Point 2(Alternatives for Detailed Study).
At the final meeting in February 2005, several alternatives, including the Upgrade Existing Facilities
Alternative, were eliminated from detailed study while Alternatives I B-EXT, 4-EXT, and 5-EXT were
maintained for detailed study. These three alternatives were examined in detail in the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement.
A meeting for Concurrence Point 2A was held in October 2005 to review the stream and wetland
crossings along the three alternatives selected for deuil study to determine the need for bridge
crossings. No bridges were proposed at any of the wetland or stream crossings, as none of the
wetlands or streams crossed by the project are considered to be high quality.
3
The Concurrence Point 3 Merger Meeting was held on November 16, 2006 to identify the Least
Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative (LEDPA) for the project. The Merger Team
selected Alternative 4-EXT as LEDPA. Alternative 4-EXT was selected because it has the fewest
residential relocations and divides the fewest number of neighborhoods; it has the least impacts to
wetlands, streams, and floodplains; iu cost is comparatively low; and it is supported by the local

I11. REVIEW OF PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
Alternative 4-EXT, the preferred alternative (Exhibit I), begins south of the NC I I/NC 102
intersection and consists of I I.0 miles on new location. The design for Alternative 4-EXT includes a
semi-directional interchange south of the existing NC I I/NC 102 intersection, a diamond interchange
at NC 102, a diamond interchange at NC 903, a partial cloverleaf interchange at Forlines Road and
US 13, and ties into the existing interchange of US 264 and US 264 Business. The preferred
alternative would result in 44 relocation impacts, 0.1 acres of wetland impacu, and 1,600 linear feet
of stream impacu in 9 crossings. In addition, it would impact approximately 120 acres of the Renston
Rural Historic District, including approximately 51 acres within properties identified as contributing
elemenu to the historic value of the area.
IV. CONCURRENCE POINT 4A - AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
A. Minimization Options — Renston Rural Historic District
The preferred alternative for the project would impact a significant portion of the Renston Rural
Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The current
design of the preferred alternative, which includes a diamond interchange at NC 903, would impact
eleven contributing properties within the historic district, displacing nine contributing structures. On
February 8, 2005, NCDOT and the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) agreed
that this alternative would have an Adverse Effect on the historic district.
The impacts of the preferred alternative on the Renston Rural Historic District are centered around
the NC 903 interchange, currently proposed as a diamond interchange with NC 903 and Abbott
Farm Road crossing over the mainline Bypass. To minimize the impacu of the preferred alternative
on the Renston Rural Historic District, several potential design modifications of the NC 903
interchange have been developed. The five potential minimization options are detailed below.
Table I summarizes the full range of impacu associated with each minimization option. Table 2
summarizes the specific impacu of each minimization option on contributing properties within the
historic district. Exhibit 2 illustrates each of the five minimization options.
3
� J
• Minimization Option I includes a half clover interchange on the south side of NC 903; the
northern half of the interchange would be removed (according to the figure). This option
would impact approximately 31 acres within contributing properties and displace 9
contributing structures. It would require the same number. of stream crossings (9) as the
preferred alternative.
• Minimization Option 2 would include a full diamond interchange, but would take the
' mainline Bypass over NC 903 and Abbott Farm Road. This option would impact
approximately 49 acres within contributing properties and displace 7 contributing structures. .
It would require 8 stream crossings.
• Minimization Option 3 would remove the NC 903 interchange entirely ancl would take the
mainline Bypass over NC 903 and Abbott Farm Road. This option would impact
approximately 22 acres within contributing properties and displace 5 contributing structures.
It would require 7 stream crossings. �
• Minimization Option 4 would replace the south side of the NC 903 interchange with a half
clover and would take the mainline Bypass over NC 903 and Abbott Farm Road. This option
would impact apProximately 25 acres witliin contributing properties and displace 6 structures.
It would require 7 stream crossings. .
• Minimization Option 5 would remove the NC 903 interchange entirely and shift westward
the alignment of the mainline Bypass, also taking it over NC 903 and Abbott Farm Road.
While it would require 8 stream crossings, one fewer than the preferred alternative, it would
impact more linear feet of streams and a larger area of riparian buffers than the preferred
alternative. However, this, option would remove all impacts to contributing structures within
the Renston Rural Historic District.

# These properties could be impacted by control of access requirements; if these requirements affect a property, the entire property will be acquired.
Two additional contributing properties not directly impacted by the right=of-way for the preferred
alternative or any of the minimization options may be affected by control of access requirements that
would eliminate direct access onto NC 903 from properties within 1000 feet of the Bypass
interchange. As shown at the bottom of Table 2, these two. properties would be impacted by the
preferred alternative and Minimization Options I and 2. Without design exceptions that would relax
control of access requirements for these properties, these properties would lose direct access onto
NC 903 and would be acquired by NCDOT.
Two of the minimization options include removal of the NC 903 interchange. To determine how
removal of this interchange would affect traffic volumes and levels of service on the Bypass and the
surrounding road network, a forecast of design year (2030) traffic was prepared for scenarios with
and without the NC 903 interchange. This analysis was a key part of the assessment of the
minimization options as one of the compone�ts of the established purpose and need for the Bypass is
to improve traffic flow and congestion on NC II (Memorial Drive) and US 264 Business
(Stantonsburg Drive). If removing the NC 903 interchange would result in substantial increases in
traffic volumes on NC I I and US 264, it could limit the ability of the Bypass to meet the project's
purpose and need.
Forecasted design year traffic volumes for many of the roadway segments studied were unchanged
between the two scenarios (with and without the NC 903 interchange). For most roadway segments
with forecasted differences in volumes, many of these differences were small, and in general, levels of
service were unchanged; there were, however, some notable exceptions. Table 3 lists the roadway
segments with forecasted increases or decreases in traffic volumes and Exhibit 3 illustrates the
locations of these segments. Without the interchange, volumes on the Bypass are forecasted to
increase slightly south of NC 903 and decrease slightly north of Forlines Road; the volume between
Forlines Road and NC 903 is forecasted to decrease by 17 percent (4,600 vehicles). Volumes on
roadway segments in the vicinity of the Renston Rural Historic District (e.g., NC 903, Abbott Farm
Road) are foreeasted to decrease. Volumes on NC I I are foreeasted to increase slightly although
levels of service on segments and at intersections along this roadway are not forecasted to change.
Volumes on NC IO2 are forecasted to increase by I6 to 26 percent; levels of service on NC IO2 are
not forecasted to change. Roadway segments east of the Bypass in the Forlines Road area,
particularly on Frog Level Road between Forlines and Poeosin Road are also forecasted to experience
significant percent changes in volumes. Levels of service on these segments are not forecasted to
change, although significant changes in intersection levels of service are forecasted for the unsignalized
intersection of Frog Level Road and Pocosin Road (from LOS C/C at AM/PM peak to LOS F/E).
�
were unchanged for all other roadway segments studied.
While there are some notable changes in forecasted 2030 traffic volumes on surrounding roadway
segmencs wichouc the Bypass NC 903 interchange, fn general these changes are fairly small and in
near'ly all pses will not affect levels of service. The two minimization options that include removal of
the interchange (Options 3 and 5) would therefore be feasible. Because it would allow avoidance of
all contributing structures in the Renston Rural Historic District and would impact the least acreage
of contributing properties, Option 5 offers the greatest opportunity for minimizing impacts to the
historic district.
�
B. Impact Analysis
Twenty-seven jurisdictional streams are located within the study area for the Greenville Southwest
Bypass. The original design of the Alternative 4-EXT corridor impacted seven of these streams;
however, the preliminary design for the preferred alternative would impact only five streams. Table
4 contains a summary of stream impacu for the preferred alternative. For each of the seven streams
within the original Alternative 4-EXT corridor, this table shows impacts within preliminary design
slope stakes as well as the total impacu that were within the corridor boundaries to show the degree
of impact avoidance achieved by the preliminary design of the preferred alternative. For each of the
streams, more than 60 percent of the total stream length within the corridor was avoided by the
preliminary design. Table 4 also shows impacu of the preliminary design for the preferred alternative
to the Zone I and Zone 2 riparian buffers within the corridor. The impacu shown in Table 4 do not
incorporate any of the NC 903 minimization options detailed in Tables I and 2; the final impact
calculations will incorporate the selected minimization option.

+ Alternative 4-EXT corridor; preliminary design was identified within this corridor
While thirteen wetlands were identified within the Bypass study area, only one of these wetlands
would be impacted by the preferred alternative. As shown in Table 5, the preferred alternative
would impact 0.1 acres of this wetland, and over 96 percent of the total wetland area in the
Alternative 4-EXT corridor would be avoided by the preliminary design.

C. Additionallssues
An archaeological survey and evaluation were recently completed for the preferred alternative for
the Bypass. The findings show a total of 47 archaeological sites, 14 of which are located within or
near the Renston Rural Historic District. None of the sites identified appear to be eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). One historic cemetery was identified during the survey.
The Slaughter Cemetery, which includes five 20th century grave markers with 19'" century dates, is in
the northeastern portion of the Area of Potential Effecu (APE) in Renston. It is possible that
additional unmarked burials exist within or near the boundary of this cemetery. The cemetery is
within 100 feet of a planned service road, although it would not be directly impacted by the current
alignment. The planned service road would follow an existing dirt access road in the area, so it is
unlikely that the current alignment would disturb the cemetery.
Three property owners in the Town of Ayden sent letters in April 2007 to NCDOT requesting
service road revisions. The property owners asked that the proposed service roads that access their
property be revised to end at their property line. These requests are under review by NCDOT
Roadway Design. The Town of Ayden sent a letter to NCDOT on April 13, 2007, requesting certain
design changes to the preferred alternative. These included retaining local access from Old Snow Hill
Road/Snow Hill Street to NC I I and providing signalized local access to NC 102 between NC I I and
che Bypass incerchange at NC 102. The letter also included requesu for signalization of access from
NC 102 to The Pines subdivision, providing measures to limit cut-through traffic through this
subdivision, and providing a noise barrier on the west side of the subdivision. These requests are also
under consideration.
