9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
SR1308 (Gum Branch Road) is a secondary road located on the north side of US 17 within the
City of Jacksonville and provides connectivity between the center of Jacksonville and the Town of
Richlands. It is approximately 12 miles in length and crosses over multiples streams along its
length.
The predominant land use in the project area is low to medium density residential development
north of the intersection with Western Boulevard, and higher density residential development to
commercial development south of Western Boulevard. Pine/hardwood forest type vegetation exists
along the more rural section of the road (north of Western Boulevard) with Section 404 Wetlands
present in the lower elevation areas of the project.
There are two historic properties within the project area. The Newbold Family House property is
located on the east side of SR 1308 at approximately 0.4 miles south of SR 1311, however, the house
was recently demolished. The Gum Branch Church, a.k.a. Living Hope Community Church of
Jacksonville, is located on the west side of SR 1308 at approximately 0.25 miles south of SR 1314.
The existing roadway is a paved two-lane road at the beginning of the project area near SR 1313
(Mills Fields Road), with 10.5' to I I' wide travel lanes, and transitions into a 37.5' wide three -lane
road with a center turn lane from SR 1388 (Timothy Road) to the end of the project area near SR
1937 (Edgewood Drive). There are no stormwater runoff controls on the road and the existing
stormwater sheet flows directly into the adjacent roadside ditches. There are existing utility lines
(electric, water, telecommunication) adjacent to the road.
Three of the streams within the project area are designated as Public Trust Areas of
Environmental Concern by the N.C. Division of Coastal Management; Cow Horn Swamp,
Batchelors Delight Swamp, and Half Moon Creek. Each of these streams currently pass under SR
1308 within culverts. There are no Coastal Wetlands within the project area.
Cow Horn Swamp, Batchelors Delight Swamp, and Half Moon Creek have all been classified as
Class C; Nutrient Sensitive Waters by the Environmental Management Commission in the area of
the proposed construction. They have all been classified by the North Carolina Division of Marine
Fisheries as Inland Waters, but none of the streams have been classified as Primary Nursery Areas or
Anadromous Fish Spawning Areas. The waters are closed to shellfishing by the Shellfish Sanitation
Section of the Division of Marine Fisheries. The streams range from approximately 10' to 20' wide
and 2' to 3' deep in the project area. There were no SAV's observed in the any of the streams during
the site visit to the project.
Project Proposal
NCDOT proposes to widen approximately 6.6 miles of SR 1308 from the existing lane widths to
ensure a minimum of I F wide travel lanes for the length of the project and add 2' to 4' wide paved
shoulders on each side of the road. The project would also include repaving sections of the road,
improvements at several intersections, and improvements to SR 1389 (Rock Creek Drive).
Currently SR 1311 (Cow Horn Road) intersects with the north side of SR 1308 at a severe angle,
which presents line of sight issues for vehicles entering the intersection at-L-STA.117+50. The

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:

PAGE #3
applicant has proposed to relocate a 350' section of the terminus of the road approximately 200' to
the west, which would allow SR 1311 and SR 1308 to intersect at the more desired 90 degree angle.
A turn lane and a deceleration lane would be added at this intersection as well. The abandoned
section of road would be obliterated.
Approximately 0.8 miles to the east of SR 1311, SR 1938 (Quaker Bridge Road) and SR 1314
(Northwest Bridge Road) intersect with SR 1308 in the vicinity of -L-STA. 159+00. Currently the
termini of the two roads do not line up with each other, with SR 1314 being 250' east of SR 1938.
The proposed design would relocate approximately 550' of SR 1314 250' to the west of its current
location to align with the western terminus of SR 1938 to form a four -leg intersection. The last 200'
of SR 1938 would also be slightly realigned so that it intersected with SR 1308 at the proper 90
degree angle. Turning lanes would be added to SR 1314 and SR 1308 to facilitate traffic flow at the
intersection. The pavement from the abandoned portions of road would then be obliterated. A 48"
diameter reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), several 30" RCPs, and a 450' long base ditch varying
between 4' to 12' wide would also be constructed at the site.
The project includes improvements to pipes at stream crossings that are not classified as CAMA
AEC's.would not affect any of the existing culverts within the CAMA AEC's at Cow Horn Swamp,
Batchelors Delight Swamp, or Half Moon Creek. The applicant has proposed to replace the existing
48" diameter corrugated metal pipe within the unnamed tributary to the New River at -L-STA. 200 +
80 with a new 87" x 63" corrugated aluminum arch pipe (CAAP). The stream banks upstream and
downstream of the pipe would be laid back at a 2:1 slope and armored with riprap to stabilize them.
Approximately 400' downstream from the pipe under SR 1308, where Rock Creek Drive South
crosses over the unnamed tributary, the existing pipe under the road would also be replaced with a
new 87" x 63" CAAP. The stream bank immediately downstream of the pipe would be laid back at
a 2:1 slope and stabilized with riprap.
The project would require extensive grading and drainage work along its length, including many
new stormwater pipes on both sides of the project. Although too numerous to describe in this report,
the pipes are identified and shown on the roadway plan sheets attached to the project application.
One of the new stormwater drainage pipes, a 24" RCP collects stormwater from the west side of
SR1308 south of Ramsey Road, and outlets onto a riprap dissipater pad near Half Moon Creek at
-L 1-STA. 81+30.
The project would involve the relocation of multiple utility lines. These would include water,
sewer, power, telephone, and CATV lines. The work would include the relocation of a set of power
poles on the west side of SR 1308 near -L-STA. 165+00 that repositions power and CATV utility
lines over Section 404 Wetland areas that would require hand clearing a 20' wide x 100' long
section of wetlands. The work would also include the relocation of another set of power poles on the
west side of SR 1308 near -L-POT STA. 13+00 that repositions power and CATV utility lines over
Batchelors Delight Swamp. The CATV line would be the lowest line on the poles and would
provide 29' of vertical clearance over the culvert pipes at Batchelors Delight Swamp.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed culvert pipes and associated backfill would permanently fill 2,092 sq. ft. of open
water and would result in an additional 871 sq. ft. of temporary fill in open water. The construction
of the base ditch located on the north side of Northwest Bridge Road would result in 3,093 sq. ft. of
permanent excavation of open water and another 174 sq. feet of temporary excavation of open water
area.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
WIDENING OF SR 1308 (GUM BRANCH ROAD)
PAGE #4
The fill for the roadway would result in permanently filling 196 sq. ft. of Section 404 Wetlands.
Drainage for the project would require 605 sq. ft. of excavation within Section 404 Wetlands.
Construction of the roadway would also require 758 sq. ft. of mechanized clearing in Section 404
Wetlands. Relocation of utility lines for the project would result in 1,616 sq. ft. of hand clearing of
Section 404 Wetlands. The project would also disturb 1,006,236 sq. ft. of high ground, including
grading, paving, drainage improvements, and utility work.
The utility line relocations would require 1899.657 sq. ft. of hand clearing within uplands in the
Batchelor Delight Swamp AEC. The placement of a stormwater drainage pipe and riprap dissipater
pad would require 253.194 sq. ft. of mechanized clearing within uplands in the Half Moon Creek
AEC. Other locations were explored for placement of the drainage pipe and dissipater pad outside of
the AEC, however, it was determined the drainage could not be discharged at other locations due to
current design criteria and the inability to impact an adjacent FEMA buyout parcel. The applicant
has not proposed any mitigation for impacts associated with the project.
The project would not affect the Newbold Family House property, however, the Gum Branch
Church historic property would be impacted by the project. The stormwater system construction on
the north side of the property would require that a Permanent Drainage Easement (PDE) be placed
on a portion of the property. The N.C. State Historic Preservation Office has determined that the
effects will not be adverse to the property.
A localized increase in turbidity can be expected during the in -water construction portion of the
base ditch construction. No additional closures of shellfishing waters are expected in association
with the proposed project.
Traffic along SR 1308 would be delayed during the construction of the project. This would result
in increased travel times for some users of the transportation network, however, the public is
expected to benefit upon completion of the project by the increase in the safety of the new road once
complete.

Project Narrative
Project: NCDOT TIP U-4906 Improvements to SR 1308 Gum Branch Rd.
Date: July 23, 2019
This proposed project will widen SR 1308 Gum Branch Road from west of SR 1313 Mills Fields Road to
east of SR 1324 Ramsey Road in Onslow County. The project will add a 2-foot paved shoulder to each
side of Gum Branch Road and will provide an improved paved riding surface, improve operating
conditions, and preserve and extend the service life of SR 1308 Gum Branch Road in the project limits.
The project will include road realignment and improvement at the SR 1308 Gum Branch Rd and SR 1311
Cow Horn Road intersection, road realignment and improvements at the SR 1308 Gum Branch Road/SR
1938 Quaker Bridge Road/SR 1314 Northwest Bridge Road intersection, improvements at the Gum
Branch Rd/SR 2031 Mendover Drive intersection, improvements at the Gum Branch Road/SR 1324
Ramsey Road intersection, and improvements to SR 1389 Rock Creek Drive. The project work will
consist of grading, widening, drainage improvements, roadway construction, resurfacing, pavement
markings, utility work, and signal work. This work will be conducted using standard road construction
equipment.
Three (3) Division of Coastal Management (DCM) Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) were identified
within the project limits. These include the public trust AECs of Cow Horn Swamp (Permit Drawing
Sheet 2 and 3), Batchelors Delight Swamp (Permit Drawing 17 and 18), and Half Moon Creek (Permit
Drawing 19 and 20). The work within the Cow Horn Swamp AEC consists of the construction of two feet
of paved shoulder on both sides of the existing road. The work within the Batchelors Delight Swamp
AEC consists of 1899.657 square feet of hand clearing of vegetation within the proposed utility
easement (PUE). The PUE corresponds with the existing aerial utility service. The relocation of the
aerial line will require the relocation of a utility pole. The work within the Half Moon Creek AEC includes
253.194 square feet of mechanized clearing for drainage structures and riprap.
During project design, alternatives to placing the drainage within the AEC buffer at Half Moon Creek
were explored by the design firm. It was determined that the proposed drainage could not be
discharged at other locations back station due to design criteria for the system that required no
surcharge in the design year (10-yr.) storm event. Other design constraints included inability to impact
Parcel 86 which is a FEMA buyout parcel. Also, the firm investigated taking the drainage across SR 1308
but that alternative was not pursued since it would have created a large excavation and increased
impacts to the wetlands on Parcel 84.
In addition to impacts to AEC areas, this project will also impact wetlands and streams which are subject
to the permit requirements of Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act. The impacts to these
features are enumerated in the wetland and surface water impacts summary table and are depicted in
the project permit drawings. A Nationwide Permit 14 from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a 401
Water Quality Certification from the Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Resources
will be utilized for these impacts.

PROJECT INFORMATION
Project No: U-4906
WBS No: 40255.1.1
F.A. No: STP-1308(12)
Federal Permit Required?
County: Onslow
Document: MCC
Funding: ❑ State ® Federal
® Yes ❑ No Permit Type: NWP
Project Description: This project will widen SR 1308 (Gum Branch Road) in Onslow County from just
north of SR 1313 (Mills Field Road) to SR 1388 (Timothy Road). This project also includes
improvements to Gum Branch Road near its intersection with SR 2031 (Mendover Road), the vicinity of
SR 1323 (Half Moon Church Road) and SR 1324 (Ramsey Road). The project will widen SR 1308 from a
2-lane road to a 3-lane road including a 2-foot paved shoulder. The archaeological Area of Potential
Effects (APE) measures 5.75 miles in length and encompasses the existing right-of-way. In the larger RECEIVED
improvement areas the APE subsumes all areas of potential ground disturbing activity.
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
MAY 0 2 2019
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions: DCM-M H D CITY
Permitting and funding information was reviewed for determining the level of archaeological input required by
state and federal laws. Based on the submitted "request for cultural resources review" form, the project is
federally -funded with federal permit interaction. As such, Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act will
apply. Next, construction design and other data was examined (when applicable) to define the character and
extent of potential impacts to the ground surfaces embracing the project locale. The APE was designed to capture
any federal permit areas and all areas of potential ground disturbing activity.
Once an APE was outlined, a map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology
(OSA) on Thursday, March 9, 2017. No previously documented archaeological sites are located In the APE or
directly adjacent.
Examination of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), State Study Listed (SL), Locally Designated (LD),
Determined Eligible (DE), and Surveyed Site (SS) properties employing resources available on the NCSHPO website
Is Important In establishing the location of noteworthy historic occupations related to a perspective construction
impact area. A cross-check of these mapped resources concluded that no meaningful historic properties with
possible contributing archaeological elements were located Inward of the archaeological APE margins. In addition,
historic maps of Onslow County were appraised to identify former structure locations, land use patterns, or other
confirmation of historic occupation in the project vicinity. Archaeological/historical reference materials were
inspected as well. In general, the cultural background review established that no NRHP listed properties, previously
recorded archaeological sites, or cemeteries are located within the APE. Based on cultural -historical factors, the
APE is considered to have a low potential for the documentation of archaeological resources.
Further, topographic, geologic, flood boundary, and NRCS soil survey maps were referenced to evaluate
pedeological, geomorphological, hydrological, and other environmental determinants that may have resulted in
past occupation at this location. Aerial and on -ground photographs (NCDOT Spatial Data Viewer) and the Google
Street View map application (when amenable) were also examined/utilized for additional assessment of
disturbances, both natural and human induced, which compromise the integrity of archaeological sites.

Environmental/Impact factors do not suggest a heightened potential for archaeological resource recovery.
Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting
that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE.
No documented cultural resources are contained within the current APE limits for this widening and improvement
project in Onslow County, North Carolina. Environmental and cultural -historical factors do not suggest a
heightened potential for archaeological resource recovery. The majority of the APE and proposed Improvements
lay within the already disturbed and impacted right-of-way. The larger, new location improvement areas are
distinguished by agricultural impacts and poor soils. Intact NRHP archaeological sites are unlikely to be present or
preserved within the currently defined APE. No further consultation is advocated. A finding of "no archaeological
survey required" is considered appropriate.
