SUBJECT: Action ID. 199102985
1. Reference your 9 Aug 91 application for an after- a-fact DA permit to
authorize the placement of excavated/fill material in the waters/wetlands of
Nicholson Creek associated with..construction of an access road and two
helicopter pads at AerialGunnery,Range 78, Fort Bragg Military Reservation,
Hoke County, NC.
2. Reference the 17 and 18 Sep 91 meetings held at your offices between
various members of your staff, SAS, and SAW, and reference our 19 Sep 91
telephone conversation,regarding thesubject activity.
3. After much consultation with our respective staffs and Mr. Mike Lynch,'
Director, Range Control at Fort Bragg,,-I understand that it has been
determined that Aerial Gunnery Range 78 can be completed and become
operational without.the-::-requirement for helicopter pads E and F and the access
road in this area being located within the identified wetland area. Mr. Mike
Smith of my regulatory staff informs me that a new configuration with the pads
located on adjacent-high ground will suffice without subjecting personnel to a
safety hazard during training and that the functional integrity of the
training site will not be degraded.
4. In light of this new information and as a result of your recent verbal
request, we have retired your after-the-fact permit application and are
canceling the Public Notice issued on 22 Aug 91.
5. Mr. Smith will be contacting your staff in the immediate future to
% rlinate the restoration efforts of all affected wetlands located outside
the work previously approved by Nationwide Permits Nos. 14 and 26.
6. Questions may be directed to Mr. Smith at [phone].

This responds to Public Notice Action ID. 199102985, dated August 22, 1991,
concerning an application by Headquarters, XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg
for an after-the-fact Department of the Army permit to authorize the placement
of fill material in wetlands of Nicholson Creek for the construction of Range 78,
Fort Bragg, Hoke County, North Carolina. This is the report of the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (Service) and the Department of the Interior and is
submitted in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination
Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).
According to the subject Public Notice, Ft. Bragg placed approximately 13,750
cubic yards of fill material in 2.56 acres of wetlands to construct an access
road and two helicopter pads (Site E and F) during Range 78 construction
activities. However, based on the September 23, 1991 telephone conversation
between Dr. Wayne Wright, of your staff, and biologist Debbie Scruggs, of this
office, Ft. Bragg has formally requested that the subject permit application be
withdrawn. Additionally, Ft. Bragg proposes to remove the subject fill material
from the wetlands. The Service fully supports restoration of the 2.56 acres of
wetlands within Sites E and F, as well as the restoration activities at Sites B,
C, D, G and H proposed in the subject Public Notice.
Service biologists visited Range 78, including Sites E and F, with Mr. Michael
D. Smith, of your staff, on July 5, 1990. During that visit, the subject wetland
fi11s as well as extensive erosion of the Range 78 construction area and
subsequent sedimentation into adjacent wetlands and uplands was observed. To
prevt further degradation of fish and wildlife habitat, including wetlands and
oe5 t habitats for two federally-listed endangered species, rough-leaved
looses, i Lysimachia asperulaefolia) and Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxi), the
Army initiated emergency erosion and sedimentation control measures within Range
78. .
The wetland construction area within Range 78 plus a 150 foot buffer area was
surveyed by Dr. J.H. Carter III, Ft. Bragg's endangered species consultant for
this project, in appropriate habitat for Michaux's sumac and rough-leaved
loosestrife. Although Dr. Carter did not locate these species within the area
surveyed, fires which occurred just prior to the survey may have eliminated the
above-ground growth of these species within some sections of his survey area
thereby causing their presence to go undetected during his survey (Carter. 1990.
Preliminary Biological Assessment for Listed Plant Species at Range 78, Fort
Bragg Military Reservation, Hoke County, North Carolina). The Service's July 20,
1990 Biological Opinion for the effects of these emergency measures on the above-
listed endangered species recognized that a small, isolated patch of either of
these species may be lost due to ground disturbing activities associated with
construction of the erosion and sedimentation control measures.

Bas our knowledge of the project site, the Service can concur with an "is
not -1 to adversely effect" finding for the proposed removal of wetland fill
within Sites E and F, and for the proposed removal of wetland fill at sites B,
C, D, G and H, as described in the subject Public Notice, if the wetland
restoration activities will occur in areas: 1) previously disturbed by Range 78
construction or construction of the emergency control measures; and 2) outside
suitable habitat for rough-leaved loosestrife or Michaux's sumac if restoration
activities will result in alteration of previously undisturbed habitats.

Re: After-the-fact DA permit for placement of fill material
Action ID. 199102985
Dear Mr. Dorney:
I am in receipt of the Public Notice regarding the application of
Headquarters., XVIII Airborne and Fort Bragg for an after-the-fact
permit to authorize the placement of excavated/fill material in the
waters/wetlands of Nicholson Creek. I am requesting that a public
hearing be held to consider this application.
It is important for the Department of the Army to remember that its
objective is to protect this country from forces which would
destroy it, whether those forces are from the outside or within.
The regulations and guidelines pertaining to filling wetlands are
clearly del-inated and available to those who wish to engage in such
acti.v'. T 6y were created to prevent the destruction of our
envi nmen nd natural heritage, and the undermining of our
onment,",- an even greater threat in its insidiousness than
W- e nst the country from the outside. The Headquarters,
Corps an Fort Bragg proceeded with'their project
w?:thut beforehand,.for a permit, in violation of.the law,
a d tint C1 be issued a permit without allowing concerned
citiL?'-%",n s a e to express their concerns about the impact of the
activitv't'=
Thank you for your consideration.

2. After considering all information available to me at the present time
regarding the construction of rood crossings and hover pads in wetlands, I
have concluded that there appears to be no justification for any of the work
in wetlands to remain on Range 78. It is our position that t:^.e vo tland areas
on this range could have been avoided entirely kith appropriate alternative
design and care prior to construction, We dobelieve that the ranee can still
serve its purpose without any of the wetland fill remaining, I, terefore,
see no reason under the present regulations and policies of the Section
permit program for the wetland fills to remain on this sita.
3. You should, therefore, take appropriate action to redesign and relocate
all: road. crossings and hover pads presently located in wetlands en Rar.gA 18.
The'enclosed copy of the "Paving, Grading, and Drainage Plan" for Aerial
Gursery Range has been marked in red with our suggestions for possible
relocation of these features. Please review these suggested relocations and
furnish any ecommended changes or co=ents regarding them before 17 August
1990. You A-ld proceed with the removal of the wetland fill areas at the
earlie rac; c ble date. finis removal must include all material which can
oe ren y 4id a f ied to have eroded from the wntlar.d fills into ad j acent-
w R that you furnish a time and schedule prior to 17 August'

you o£ story removal prior to the equipment leaving the site. This.
will prevent the possibility of having to remobilize equipment due to
unsatisfactory removal. You should also be careful to ensure that at no time
in the removal :.of.fill from wetlands and redeposition on high ground should
areas of possible endan,gered species habitat either in the wetinnds or eft

SUPPORTING INFORMATION FOR APPLICATION
AERIAL GUNNERY RANGE 78
FORT BRAGG
HOKE COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA
BACKGROUND. The Aerial Gunnery Range 78 project is located on an
approximately 550-acre tract in the western Coleman Danger Area
in the central portion of Fort Bragg Military Reservation
adjacent to Nicholson Creek in Hoke County, North Carolina (see
enclosure 1). The project consists of an aerial gunnery range
with control tower, latrine, rearming pads, armor moving targets
with carriers, storage bunkers, stationary armor target systems
with emplacements, two range control stations, utilities, roads,
parking, berms, storm drainage, communications, etc. The project
will be used to support training for combat units of the 82d
Airborne Division and the XVIII Airborne Corps, Joint Special
Operations Command, and the National Guard and Reserve Units. It
will provide areas for individual attack helicopter firing and
full unit aerial gunnery exercises.
Fort Bragg began construction of this project in July 1989,
believing that all necessary environmental clearances had been
obtained. As the project was nearing completion, the base was
notified by the Wilmington Dis-:rict Corps of Engineers that the
project had resulted in a violation of Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act. Subsequent inspection of the site revealed that the
project had resulted in the discharge of fill material into
approximately 7.44 acres of wetlands. Of the total fill,
approximately 4.92 acres of fill was placed in waters of the
United States below the headwaters of Nicholson Creek and 2.52
acres of fill was placed above the headwaters of two tributaries
to Nicholson Creek. These fill areas are indicated on enclosures
2-3 as sites A-H. With this knowledge, Ft. Bragg developed a
Plan of Action for resolving the existing Section 404 violation.
The plan is as follows:
a. Site A - This .42-acre fill (450 cubic yards) is
approximately 80 feet wide and 200 feet long. The fill was used
to create an access road to the site. Fill in this area extends
approximately 100 feet either side of the defined channel of the
stream. Based on the above, the existing fill is eligible for
authorization by 33 CFR 330.5 (a)(14). Therefore, this area
would remain in place.
b. Site B - Remove the existing road fill (.52 acres, 711
cubic yards) and maintain the existing helicopter pad fill (.72
acres, 1,815 cubic yards). The .72 acres to be maintained is
eligible for authorization under 33 CFR 330.5 (a)(26).

C. Site C - Remove the existing road fill (.54 acres, 1,990
cubic yards) and maintain the existing helicopter pad fill (.24
acres., 55 cubic yards). The .24 acres to be maintained is
eligible for authorization under 33 CFR 330.5 (a)(26).
d. Site D - Remove all existing fill (.09 acres, 111 cubic
yards) as well as the existing road which was constructed many
years ago.
e. Sites E and F - Request an of er-t e-fact, individual,
Department of the Army permit for the 2.56 acres (13,750 cubic
yards) of fill at the sites.
f. Site G - Remove the .48 acres (2,963 cubic yards) of fill
and shift the helicopter pad up the hill side.
g. Site H - Remove the 1.88 acres (17,713 cubic yards) of
fill.
The plan also includes removal of the material which has
eroded into wetlands due to construction to the extent
practicable without destroying the existing vegetation at the
site. This work would be performed by hand or with small rubber
tired equipment. Once the proposed fill removal is accomplished
down to preconstruction elevations, the area will be stabilized.
These restored areas would then be planted with plant species
which occur in she surrounding areas.
While this plan was being developed, the entire Range 78 site
was surveyed for threatened and endangered species and a
Biological Assessment of Threatened and Endangered Species
(BATES) was prepared (see enclosure 5). The BATES was then
coordinated with the USFWS. As a result of this coordination,
the FWS concurred in the conclusion of the BATES that the
proposed restoration plan and use of Range 78 would not impact
any Federally listed threatened or endangered species nor any
habitat critical for their survival (see enclosure 6). After
review of the plan and the BATES, the Wilmington District
approved this plan and the base is currently taking steps to
implement the restoration plan.
Current Request. Ft. Bragg is now requesting a Department of the
Army Section 404 Permit for maintaining the access road
helicopter pads at Sites E and F. Construction of th cce s
road and pads resulted in the filling of approximatel 2.5 acres
of seasonally flooded wetlands by placement of approx ma ly
_13,"750 cubic yards of clay material. The fill material was

i
obtained from
F. Enclosure
portion of the
the two pads.

a borrow area located just south of Sites E and
4 provides a Plan and Section View Drawing of the
access road which was constructed in wetlands and
Alternatives Considered. In development of the plan for
resolving the Section 404 violations, the primary effort was to
try to remove all fill material placed in wetland areas that
cannot be authorized under the Nationwide Permits at 33 CFR
330.5. However, the base was not able to do this and maintain a
safe and functional range. Helicopter pads E and F and the
access road in this area could not be moved without subjecting
aircraft to overlapping fields of fire during target engagements,
a potentially dangerous safety hazard during training exercises.
If these pads cannot be maintained, the functional integrity of
this training site would be substantially degraded.
Environmental Impacts. As stated above, this project has
resulted in the filling of 7.44 acres of wetlands. Our
restoration plan for the project will restore approximately 3.5
acres of these wetlands to their previous condition. Therefore,
the total wetland impact for the project would be 3.94 acres of
which 1.38 acres of impact would be in wetland areas located
above the headwaters of the two small tributaries to Nicholson
Creek. As part of the restoration plan, a small road which
historically crossed Nicholson Creek at Site H will be removed.
This road was approximately 50 feet wide by 400 feet long.
Therefore, approximately .5 acres of mitigation would be provided
by this work. Further mitigation would be provided from the
entire removal of this road since this action would restore the
historic hydrologic characteristics of this portion of the creek.
Creation of some emergent wetlands will also likely occur in the
borrow area created at the site. However, creation of such
habitat would be limited since there is currently no active
stream feeding this site. Also, this borrow site will be used
for placement of all material removed from wetland areas during
the proposed restoration project. Construction and use of Range
78 has not and will not result in any impacts to any Federally
listed threatened or endangered species. In fact, once this
range becomes active, the frequent burning of the area would
likely increase its ability to support such species. This
frequent burning would also enhance the attractiveness of this
area to wildlife during non-active periods of range operation.
Appropriate erosion control techniques have been implemented at
the site which will control erosion. Therefore, no water quality
iwacts. would result from maintaining the existing pads and
access road. To our knowledge, there are no properties listed or
odd for listing on the National Register of Historic

Raleigh, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Scruggs:
Service
27336-3726
Crosby/hrj/5781
As you are aware, Fort Bragg's recent construction of Aerial
Gunnery Range 78 has resulted in a violation of Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act. This project is located in the western
Coleman Danger Area in the central portion of Fort Bragg Military
-Reservation, adjacent to Nicholson Creek in Hoke County, North
Carolina (see enclosed location map). The project consists of an
aerial gunnery range with control tower, latrine, rearming pads,
armor moving targets with carriers, storage bunkers, stationary
armor target systems with emplacements, two range control
stations, utilities, roads, parking, berms, storm drainage,
communications, etc. Practically the entire project has been
constructed. The project will be used to support training for
combat units of the 82d Airborne Division and the XVIII Airborne
Corps, Joint Special operations Command, and the National Guard
and Reserve Units. It will provide areas for individual attack
helicopter firing and full unit aerial gunnery exercises.
In accordance with a request from Fort Bragge the Savannah
District was requested to develop a restoration plan for the
reported violation. A copy of the Flan of Action and a set of
drawings are enclosed. As the drawings indicate, no additional
work would be required outside original construction limits for
the project other than removal of material which has eroded into
adjacent wetlands. All fill removed would be placed in the
borrow pit which was constructed for the project.
In accordance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act,
Fort Bragg requested Savannah District to conduct a threatened
and endangered species survey of the project area. The survey
t

has been completed, and a draft report indicating the results of
the survey is enclosed. As the report indicates, neither
Federally threatened or endangered species nor any critical
habitat for such species will be impacted by the proposed
restoration work. Also, no firm evidence could be found that the
existing work impacted any such species or habitat, except for
possible encroachment within red-cockaded colony 276. According
to Fort Bragg, this impact was addressed in the Biological
opinion prepared by your office in 1985 on the 5-year range
modernization and cantonment program at Fort Bragg and will not
be considered in this Section 7 coordination.
Several State threatened and endangered species were located
at the site. We are coordinating these findings with the State
of North Carolina. The report suggests that, to protect these
species, the following actions should be taken:
a. All listed plants should be mapped, narked in the field,
and monitored annually.
b. Pixie-moss clumps around the borrow pit which have been
partially buried should be carefully uncovered.'
c. A plan for proper fire management of the range should be
prepared.
d. A long-term erosion control plan should be prepared.
Fort Bragg has advised that the recommended mapping,
marking, and monitoring will be accomplished as soon as a staff
botanist/ecologist is hired (active recruiting is being
accomplished). The draft management plan for the site includes
coftrolled burning of the site every 3 years; the pixie-moss
clumps will be uncovered; and strict enforcement of erosion
control measures will be provided to prevent siltation of high
quality savanna ecotones.
In view of the above, I have determined that the proposed
restoration plan and use of Range 78 will not result in any
impacts to any Federally listed threatened or endangered species
or their critical habitat. In accordance with Section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, I request that you review this
inforipation and advise me of whether you concur with my
demination as quickly as possible.

SUBJECT.: Fort Bragg 404/401, Action ID. 199102985
After review of the August 22 Public Notice for a 404 permit and
401 certification for activities proposed at Fort Bragg, Action
ID 199102985, I am of the opinion that the activities constitute
a "major federal action. As such, the Corps of Engineers should
•, undertake preparation of an appropriate NEPA document before
'',making a final permit decision.
KFurther, the NEPA requirement would have applied to the original
action that has now led to a request for an after-the-fact
permit. In the interest of avoiding future problems of similar
origin, there should be an analysis of the process leading up to
the original actin to determine how it should be amended.
(1) If no NEPA documentation was undertaken then attention
should be focussed upon the thresholds at which such
review is commenced.
Alr?
(2) If NEPA documentation was undertaken but not circulated
for agency and public review, then attention should be
focused upon the integrity of such internal review.
(3) If NEPA documentation was undertaken and circulated for
< agency and public review, then attention should be
focused upon either why the documentation did not
identify the potential impacts, or why the reviewers
did not respond to the projected impacts.
• %Rega4dless of which scenario best fits this situation, the
pro si for assuring environmental protection failed in this
!"stance. The consideration of an after-the-fact permit is only
4 -....the solution. A more complete resolution requires a
1,prough understanding of how the problem came about, and
?,,eific.r'action ` to guarantee that additional problems do not

cur in the future from the same cause.
ow 7.45 acres of wetlands came to be filled without effective
NEPA review and without required water quality
permits/certifications is a topic worthy of assessment. Whether
the activities proposed in the after-the-fact permit application
are environmentally appropriate is a topic worthy of NEPA review.
