W. Lear, Vice President, has' applied for a Department of the Army permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN THE WATERS OF MOTTS CREEK, OFF NORTHEAST CREEK, ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXTENSION OF HUNTER'S TRAIL, JACKSONVILLE, Onslow County, North Carolina. The following description of the work is taken from data provided'by the applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show the proposed placement of fill material to span an approximate 295-foot-wide wetland area. The bottom width of fill is to be 80 feet, and an average depth of 5.5 feet, from existing to finish grades, is to be established. A temporary channel is planned to be excavated to divert creek flow during placement of three 60-inch-diameter culverts and the roadway fill. Preconstruction contours are to be restored after the crossing is in place. A 20-foot-wide flexible pavement roadway with 10-foot-wide shoulders is planned. The purpose of the work is to provide adequate and safe vehicular access for residential development. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. V The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the Army permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500. This application is being considered pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in this notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of-the National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered -2- properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence_of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit. The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among. those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental.concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Ms. Alison Arnold, until 4:15 p.m., September 14, 1987, or telephone (919) 343-4634. f ?Iv?T H \n Cgt?1P LEJEUNE -(AAPZ NE Cot --- 5A SE V ?? 24 o J4 . ?7 JACK:!501,,1V\1ILL- / ni7• J?

Box 1890 Wilmington, NC 28402-1890 Dear Colonel Woodbury: The State has completed its review of Corps Public Notice SAWCO87-N-067-0349 dated August 27, 1987. The notice describes a proposal by Viking Enterprises, Incorporated to place fill material in Motts Creek off Northeast Creek in association with the extension of Hunter's Trail in Jackson- ville, Onslow County, North Carolina. Based upon our review, we agree with the applicant's determination that the proposed project is consistent with the North Carolina Coastal Management Program, as currently approved under the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972. It is our understanding that the project has received a 401 water quality certification and that a sedimentation erosion control plan is on file with the NC Land Quality Section, Division of Land Resources. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has recommended that the permit be denied because the proposed fill is not water dependent and, from information included in the notice, alternative routes do not appear to have been considered. We understand that the applicant is discussing possible modifications to the project proposal with Federal Agency reviewers in an effort to resolve inconsistencies with federal regulations. We request that the North Caroli- na Wildlife Commission be included in these discussions.

DATE April 8, 1987 / Vice-President Applicant's Signature D&F-+2 SEE REVERSE SIDE FOR MAILING INSTRUCTIONS o.., tnn2 r. r NARRATIVE SUPPLEMENT TO PERMIT APPLICATION FOR HUNTERS TRAIL EXTENSION (STREET CROSSING) OF MOTTS CREEK ONSLOW COUNTY. NORTH CAROLINA The Hunters Creek development consists of approximately 750 acres and is located near N.C. Hiqhway 24 East of Jacksonville. The at- tached location map shows the extent of its boundaries. Viking Enterprises, Inc. is applying for a permit to cross Motts Creek: (see Sheet 1 of 4). Hunters Trail is the major traffic: artery for the entire development. This street crossing would create access to portions of the soon to be developed area north of the creek. The crossing of 404 Wetlands would be approximately 295 + feet in length, 80 feet in width, and an average depth of 5.5 feet from present grade to finish pavement elevation (see Sheet 2 of 4). The crossing would be filled with excavated material from adjoining pro- perties. While construction is in operation, a temporary channel would be created to divert the waters of Motts Creek during the in- stallation of storm drain culverts. Upon completion of storm drain installation, the temporary channel would be backfilled. Construction is expected to take two (2),months. Construction a`tivities will be completed in the following sequence: 1. Existinq_ trees in the location of the roadway will be cut off at ground level and removed from site. 2. Erosion and sedimentation control facilities will be installed (see Sheet 2 of 4). 3. The roadway location will be stumped and mucked and material wi 1 1 be removed from the site. 4. The storm draina.q_e facilities will be constructed (see Sheet 2 and L of 4). 5. The roadway will be filled, compacted, and stabilized. 6. Pavement will be placed and permanent stabilization measures taken (see Sheet 2 of 4). P-2 The crossing is essential for proper development, access, and tra.ff.i c circulation internal to the project and for the provi- sion of additional normal traffic and emergency access from outside the project boundaries. The developer has been negoti- ating with the public school system for the donation of a parcel of land north of Motts Creek for a. school site. Without this crossing, access to the proposed site would not exist until a road is constructed from Piney Green Road which would be the only access to this part of the development. With the crossing, a con- nection of Piney Green Road to Hunters Trail could be constructed (see Sheet 1 of 4). The connection of these two roads would allow residents on either side of Motts Creek to travel directly to N.C. Highway 24 or Piney Green Road, reducing traffic congestion along both areas and provide internal access to the school site. Without the crossing, access to the school site by residents south of Motts Creek could only occur through a 5 + mile route (one-way) through the existing project to N.C. Highway 24, then to Piney Green Road, then to and into the development, versus a crossing of Motts Creek to the school site. The crossing could further alleviate the potential loss of time for emergency service that could result from incorrect directions during a time of crisis if the crossing did not occur. The importance of the crossing i essential to circulation in the Hunters Creek area. Viking Enterprises, Inc. respectfully requests that all due consideration be given in the review of this application. i - ,r ,r GgMP LEJEUME -MAAFZNE- ('_-OR PS BASE %? tL i? _E PAC ul rn: .a /7 a 400, Moms ??E?K \ ?.. v ?lunt?r?5 -rte 6CROM VIQWI-rY MAP SCALE: I' = /zMILF_ LOO-41-V \: '-- N PARY 3 L Pao ?"e-j?/ de.,1 N E 2 S I??L1S fAL GAF?ULlQP, 6-MM U w I T/ U,EGrE. 7y? 2??AtlIE P Ue-TeF-y IQA JQ, P2O wsEp STP-EET CJZO55IKJC r NuNTEes I?AIL_ EXT tKJ:50N C2?'?IN??

W. Lear, Vice President, has applied for a Department of the Army permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN THE WATERS OF MOTTS CREEK, OFF NORTHEAST CREEK, ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXTENSION OF HUNTER'S TRAIL, JACKSONVILLE, Onslow County, North Carolina. The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show the proposed placement of fill material to span an approximate 295-foot-wide wetland area. The bottom width of fill is to be 80 feet, and an average depth of 5.5 feet, from existing to finish grades, is to be established. A temporary channel is planned to be excavated to divert creek flow during placement of three 60-inch-diameter culverts and the roadway fill. Preconstruction contours are to be restored after the crossing is in place. A 20-foot-wide flexible pavement roadway with 10-foot-wide shoulders is planned. The purpose of the work is to provide adequate and safe vehicular access for residential development. Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the Army permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500. This application is being considered pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in this notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered 0 -2- properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible for..incTusi_on-ft the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit. e ermined, based on a review of data furnished by the applicant and onsite observations, that t e ac species, or-their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal; and if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. -That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest. Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this office, Attention: Ms. Alison Arnold, until 4:15 p.m., September 14, 1987, or telephone (919) 343-4634. ?Jv?-r H f CAMP LE -!FUME r-MAZ NE.
