Re: Pitt-Greenville Airport
Taxiway A Relocation Final Mitigation Plan
USACE Action ID 200411827
Ms. Wheeler:
JUN 15 [005
DENR - WATER QUAUTY
WETLANDS AND 8TORI/WA7ER WNCH
On behalf of the Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority, THE LPA GROUP of North Carolina,
p.a. proposes the following Final Mitigation Plan to mitigate for 0.79 acres of
unavoidable impacts to a naturalized ditch, located adjacent to Taxiway A.
Avoidance
The safety area was recently extended on the south end of Runway 2/20, which is
adjacent to the Taxiway A project area. An alternative for extending the runway further
north was investigated and is documented in the Environmental Assessment of Proposed
Improvements for the Pitt-Greenville Airport (dated February 1998) that was prepared for
the FAA. In order to avoid wetland impacts, the option for extending the runway to the
north would also apply to the Taxiway A realignment project. Factors that preclude
further extension to the north include multiple height obstructions (trees), relocations in a
minority community, and an increase in noise impacts to communities. Therefore, no
practicable alternatives exist other than the project as it is proposed.
Minimization
Wetland impacts will be confined to the construction limits as indicated in the permit
drawings. To minimize potential impacts to adjacent wetlands contractors will be
required to use best management practices such as the use of silt fencing and grassed
side-slopes to prevent siltation of adjacent wetlands (refer to the attached Drawings GD-1
and GD-2).
Compensatory Mitigation
The impacts caused by the proposed project will be mitigated by the relocation of the
naturalized ditch to the east of its current location (refer to attached Drawings GD-1 and
GD-2). This relocation of the channel allows for the taxiway to be re-aligned with the
FAA required 400-foot separation between the runway and taxiway, as well as mitigation

of the impact with a 1.4:1 ratio (1.07 acres mitigated to 0.79 acres impacted). The
proposed channel relocation/mitigation will reestablish the lost wetland features and
function of the existing channel. The proposed onsite mitigation is required to maintain
the hydrologic connection between other onsite wetlands and wetlands located adjacent
to the Tar River, and to protect the nutrient sensitive waters of the Tar River.
Guidance provided in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular
(AQ 15015200-33, Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On Or Near Airports was taken into
account when developing the onsite mitigation plan. In AC 130/5200-33, the FAA
prohibits the construction or enhancement of habitat on or near airports that are wildlife
attractants. This is to prevent wildlife/aircraft collisions. Additionally, because the
existing and proposed new channel are located within the Object Free Area (OFA) of the
Airport, there are limitations as to the type of vegetation that can be planted within and
adjacent to the new channel. The OFA is an area on an airport, as described by FAA in
AC 15015300-13 Change 6, where vegetation must be kept below the Runway Safety
Area (RSA) elevation. For this reason no tree or shrub species can be planted within the
mitigation area.
The base of the relocated wetland/ditch will be constructed with a broad flat bottom, and
will be seeded with native hydrophytic vegetation, as described in the attached Seeding
Specifications. Hydroseeding will not be done within 50 feet of the relocated channel.
Lime and fertilizer will not be applied within 50 feet of the relocated channel. The side
slopes of the channel will be vegetated with upland grass species for bank stabilization
and stormwater run-off filtration. Additionally, to keep vegetation below the RSA
elevation and to minimize wildlife attraction, the ditch and adjacent uplands will require
periodic mowing. To reduce the risk of soil compaction within and adjacent to the
relocated channel, equipment with low-impact rubber tires will be used to maintain the
vegetation height. Vegetation will be maintained at the appropriate height to deter use by
wildlife and not present an obstruction, such that surface run-off would still flow though
a vegetated conveyance before entering the relocated channel.
During construction of the new channel, erosion control matting as described in the
attached Erosion Control Matting Specifications, will be placed on the side slopes and in
the bottom of the channel. The erosion control matting used during construction will be
jute matting. The design/location of the erosion control matting can be found on
Drawing EC-1 and Drawing DD-2. Construction of the project will be a balanced cut and
fill operation. Therefore, no additional impacts to wetlands would occur due to burrow
activities. The channel will be constructed in a dry work area, and seeding and matting
will be installed before water is diverted to the new channel.
Three 42-inch reinforced concrete pipes will be installed in the new channel to replace
the crossing of the existing ditch. These pipes will be countersunk to allow for the
passage of fish and other aquatic wildlife and will not result in a dis-equilibrium of the
relocated channel or adjacent waterways. This crossing is required to allow the Airport
to maintain upland areas on both sides of the channel and provide access to the security
fence (refer to attached Drawing EC-1).
2
The construction site will be accessed from US 13/NC 11 (Memorial Drive) through
uplands, located north of the channel and adjacent to the existing hangar area. Prior to
construction, highly visible fencing will be installed along the proposed construction
limits adjacent to wetlands located north of the channel relocation (outside of permit
area). Impacts to these areas will be prohibited (refer to attached Drawings SD-1 and
SD-2).
The mitigation site is located in an active safety area of the airport. Therefore, the
establishment of a conservation easement or a deed restriction will not be practicable for
the mitigation site. However, the mitigation site will be available for agency review at
any time through coordination with the Airport Director.
Upon completion of construction activities, an as-built survey will be completed to verify
that the project was constructed according to the final design. The results of the as-built
survey will be submitted to USACE and DWQ for review.
In order to monitor the growth/success of the planted hydrophytic vegetation, three
permanent photographic stations will be established along the mitigation site.
Photographs will be taken at these stations on an annual basis for five consecutive years,
and submitted to the USACE and DWQ for review.
If you have any questions, or need additional information, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
THE LPA GROUP of North Carolin p.a.

901-2.5 SOIL FOR REPAIRS. The soil for fill and topsoiling of areas to be repaired
shall be at least of equal quality to that which exists in areas adjacent to the area to be
T-901-2
repaired. The soil shall be relatively free from large stones, roots, stumps, or other
materials that will interfere with subsequent sowing of seed, compacting, and
establishing turf, and shall be approved by the Engineer before being placed.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
901-3.1 ADVANCE PREPARATION AND CLEANUP. The use of Kobe or Korean
Lespedeza, fertilizer, lime and hydroseeding shall be prohibited within 50 feet
horizontally from the relocated ditch bottom.
After grading or clearing and ,grubbing of areas has been completed and before
applying fertilizer and ground limestone, areas to be seeded shall be raked or otherwise
cleared of stones larger than 2 inches in any diameter, sticks, stumps, and other debris
which might interfere with sowing of seed, growth of grasses, or subsequent
maintenance of grass-covered areas. If any damage by erosion or other causes has
occurred after the completion of grading and before beginning the application of. fertilizer
and ground limestone, the Contractor shall repair such damage. This may include filling
gullies, smoothing irregularities, and repairing other incidental damage.
An area to be seeded shall be considered a satisfactory seedbed without additional
treatment if it has recently been thoroughly loosened and worked to a depth of not less
than 5 inches as a result of grading operations and, if immediately prior to seeding, the
top 3 inches of soil is loose, friable, reasonably free from large clods, rocks, large roots,
or other undesirable matter, and if shaped to the required grade.
However, when the area to be seeded is sparsely sodded, weedy, barren and
unworked, or packed and hard, any grass and weeds shall first be cut or otherwise
loosened to a depth not less than 5 inches. Clods shall be broken and the top 3 inches
of soil shall be worked into a satisfactory seedbed by discing, or by use of cultipackers,_
rollers, drags, harrows, or other appropriate means.
The Contractor shall be required to perform seeding work on each area immediately
upon completion of the grading operations as directed by the Engineer.
901-3.2 DRY APPLICATION METHOD
A. Liming. Four thousand pounds (4000#) of ground limestone shall. be applied
separately and prior to the application of any fertilizer or seed and only on
seedbeds which have previously been prepared as described above. The lime
shall then be worked into the top 3 inches of soil after which the seedbed shall
again be properly graded and dressed to a smooth finish.
B. Fertilizing. Following advance preparations and cleanup, one thousand pounds
(1000#) of 10-10-10 commercial fertilizer shall be applied per acre. The fertilizer
T-901-3
shall be spread uniformly over all areas to be seeded. Superphosphate, 20%
analysis shall be furnished.
C. Seeding. Grass seed shall be sown at the rate specified on the plans or in the
special provisions immediately after fertilizing, and the fertilizer and seed shall be
raked within the depth range stated in the special provisions. Seeds of legumes,
either alone or in mixtures, shall be inoculated before mixing or sowing, in
accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer of the inoculant. When
seeding is required at other than the seasons shown on the plans or in the
special provisions, a cover crop shall be sown by the same methods required for
grass and legume seeding.
D. Rolling. After the seed has been properly covered, the seedbed shall be
immediately compacted by means of an approved lawn roller, weighing 40 to 65
pounds per foot of width for clay soil (or any soil having a tendency to pack), and
weighing 150 to 200 pounds per foot of width for sandy or light soils.
901-3.3 WET APPLICATION METHOD.
A. General. The Contractor may elect to apply seed and fertilizer (and lime, if
required) by spraying them on the previously prepared seedbed in the form of an
aqueous mixture and by using the methods and equipment described herein.
The rates of application shall be as specified in the special provisions.
B. Spraying Equipment. The spraying equipment shall have a container or water
tank equipped with a liquid level gauge calibrated to read in increments not larger
than 50 gallons over the entire range of the tank capacity, mounted so as to be
visible to the nozzle operator. The container or tank shall also be equipped with
a mechanical power-driven agitator capable of keeping all the solids in the
mixture in complete suspension at all times until used.
The unit shall also be equipped with a pressure pump capable of delivering 100
gallons per minute at a pressure of 100 pounds per square inch. The pump shall
be mounted in a line which will recirculate the mixture through the tank whenever
it is not being sprayed from the nozzle. All pump passages and pipe lines shall
be capable of providing clearance for 5/8 inch solids. The power unit for the
pump and agitator shall have controls mounted so as to be accessible to the
nozzle operator. There shall be an indicating pressure gauge connected and
mounted immediately at the back of the nozzle..
The nozzle pipe shall be mounted on an elevated supporting stand in such a
manner that it can be rotated through 360 degrees horizontally and inclined
vertically from at least 20 degrees below to at least 60 degrees above the
horizontal. There shall be a quick-acting, three-way control valve connecting the
T-901-4
recirculating line to the nozzle pipe and mounted so that the nozzle operator can
control and regulate the amount of flow of moisture delivered to the nozzle. At
least three different types of nozzles shall be supplied so that mixtures may be
properly sprayed over distance varying form medium-range ribbon nozzle, and
one a long-range jet nozzle. For case of removal and cleaning, all nozzles shall
be connected to the:pipe.by means of quick-release couplings.
In order to reach areas inaccessible to the regular equipment, an extension hose
at least 50 feet in length shall be provided to which the nozzles may be
connected.
C. Mixtures. Lime, if required,: shall be applied separately, in the quantity specified,
prior to the fertilizing and seeding operations. No more than 220 pounds of lime
shall be added to and mixed with each 100 gallons of water. Seed and fertilizer
shall be mixed together in the relative proportions specified, but not more than a.
total of 220 pounds of these combined solids shall be added to. and mixed with
each 100 gallons of water.
All water used shall be obtained from fresh water sources and shall be free from
injurious chemicals and other toxic substances harmful to plant life. Brackish
water shall not be used at any time. The Contractor shall identify to the Engineer
all sources of water at least 2 weeks prior to use. The Engineer may take
samples of the water at the source or from the tank at any time and have a
laboratory test the samples for chemical and saline content. The Contractor shall
not use any water from any source which is disapproved by the Engineer
following such tests.
All mixtures shall be constantly agitated from the time they are mixed until they
are finally applied to the seedbed. All such mixtures shall be used within 2 hours
from the time they were mixed or they shall be wasted and disposed of at
locations acceptable, to the Engineer.
D. S ra in . Lime, if required, shall be sprayed only upon previously prepared
seedbeds. After the applied lime mixture has dried, the lime shall be worked into
the top 3 inches, after which the seedbed shall again be properly graded and
dressed to a smooth finish.
Mixtures of seed and fertilizer shall only be sprayed upon previously prepared
seedbeds on which the lime, if required, shall already have' been worked in. The
mixtures shall be applied by means of high-pressure spray which shall always be
directed upward into the air so that the mixtures will fall to the ground like rain in
a uniform spray. Nozzles or sprays shall never be directed toward the ground in
such a manner as might produce erosion or runoff.
T-901-5
Particular care shall be exercised to insure that the application is made uniformly
and at the prescribed rate and to guard against misses and overlapped areas.
Proper predetermined quantities of the mixture in accordance with specification
shall be used to cover specified sections of known area. Checks on the rate and
uniformity of application may be made by observing the degree of wetting of the
ground or by distributing test sheets of paper or pans over the area at intervals
and observing the quantity of material deposited thereon.
On surfaces which are to be mulched as indicated by the plans or designated by
the Engineer, seed and fertilizer applied by the spray method need not be raked
into the soil or rolled. However, on surfaces on which mulch is not to be used,
the raking and rolling opefations will be required after the soil has dried.
901-3.4 MAINTENANCE OF SEEDED AREAS. The Contractor shall protect seeded
areas against traffic or other use by warning signs or barricades, as approved by the
Engineer. Surfaces gullied or otherwise damaged following seeding shall be repaired
by regrading and reseeding as directed. The Contractor shall mow, water as directed,
and otherwise maintain seeded areas in a satisfactory condition until final inspection
and acceptance of the work.
When either the dry or wet application method outlined above is used for work done out
of season, it will be required that the Contractor establish a good stand of grass of
uniform color and density to the satisfaction of the Engineer. If at the time when the
contract has been otherwise completed it is not possible to make an adequate
determination of the color, density, and uniformity of such stand of grass, payment for
the unaccepted portions of the areas seeded out of season will be withheld until such
time as these requirements have been met.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
901-4.1 The quantity of seeding.to be paid for shall be the number of acres measured
on the ground surface, completed and accepted.
BASIS OF PAYMENT
901-5.1 The quantity of seeding, determined as provided above, will be paid for at the

EROSION CONTROL MATTING
DESCRIPTION
895-1.1 The work covered by this section consists of furnishing, placing, and securing
temporary jute matting on previously shaped and seeded slopes, drainage channels, or
other areas at locations shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer.
The quantity of matting to be placed will be affected by the actual conditions which
occur during the construction of the project. The quantity.of matting may be increased,
decreased, or eliminated entirely at the direction of the Engineer. Such variations in
quantity will not be considered as alterations in the details of construction or a change in
the character of the work.
MATERIALS
895-2.1 TEMPORARY MATTING MATERIAL.
A. General. Matting shall be jute matting. Erosion control matting shall not be dyed,
bleached or otherwise treated in a manner that will result in toxicity to vegetation.
B. Jute Matting. Jute matting shall be of a uniform open plain weave of single jute
yarn, 48 inches in width plus or minus 1 inch. The yarn shall be of a loosely
twisted construction and shall not vary in thickness by more than one-half its
normal diameter. There shall be 78 warp ends, plus or minus 2, per linear yard;
and the weight shall average 1.122 pounds per linear yard of the matting with a
tolerance of plus or minus 5 percent.
C. Wire Staples. Staples shall be machine made of No.11 gage steel wire formed
into a U shape. The size when formed shall be not less than 6 inches in length
with a throat of not less than 1 inch in width.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
895-3.1 MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS. Except as otherwise specified herein
or approved by the Engineer, matting shall be installed in accordance with its
manufacturer's printed instructions.
895-3.2 TEMPORARY MATTING INSTALLATIONS. Placing of matting shall be done
immediately following seeding. The earth surface shall be smooth and free from stones,
clods, or debris which will prevent the contact of the matting with the soil. Care shall be
taken to preserve the required line, grade, and cross section of the area covered.
E-895-1
Matting shall be unrolled in the direction of the flow of water, and shall be applied
without stretching so that it will lie smoothly but loosely on the soil surface. The up-
channel or top of slope end of each piece of matting shall be buried in a narrow trench
at least 5 inches deep. After the end of the matting is buried, the trench shall be closed
and tamped firmly. Where one roll of matting ends and a second roll begins, the end of
the upper roll shall be brought over the buried end of the second roll so that there will
be a 6 inch overlap. Check slots shall be constructed at each 50 feet longitudinally in
the matting or as directed by the Engineer. These slots shall be narrow trenches at
least 5 inches deep. The matting shall be folded over and buried to the full depth of the
trench, after which the trench shall be closed and firmly tamped. Where 2 or more
widths of matting are laid side by side, the overlap shall be at least 4 inches.
Staples shall be placed across matting at ends, junctions, and check slots and shall be
spaced approximately 10 inches apart.
Staples shall be placed along the outer edges and down the center of each strip of
matting and shall be spaced 3 feet apart. Staples shall also be placed along all lapped
edges 2 to 3 feet apart.
After matting has been placed and stapling completed, the matting shall be rolled with
an approved roller to assure that it is in proper contact with the soil.
In the installation of matting on cut or fill slopes the Engineer may require adjustments in
the trenching or stapling requirements to fit individual slope conditions.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

Mr. Brian Wrenn
North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Transportation Permitting Unit
2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Suite 201
Raleigh, NC 27604
Mr. Wrenn:
This letter is to address comments made by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(DWQ), Transportation Permitting Unit, concerning improvements at the Pitt-Greenville
Airport (DWQ Project # 04-1810). These comments were made in the attached letter on
February 3, 2005, and are addressed in the same sequence they are presented in the DWQ
letter.
1. To address sediment and erosion associated with the proposed project, a Sediment
and Erosion Control Plan has been submitted to Mr. Richard Peed of the DENR-
Division of Land Resources, and is currently under their review. To address
stormwater issues, a Stormwater Permit though the City of Greenville is currently
being pursued. The technical aspects of the stormwater plan have been approved.
However, there are some technicalities of the maintenance agreement that are
being resolved between the Airport and the City of Greenville. This City
Stormwater Permit will satisfy the state requirements for stormwater controls.
2. Avoidance
The safety area was recently extended on the south end of Runway 2/20, which is
adjacent to the Taxiway A project area. An alternative for extending the runway
further north was investigated and is documented in the Environmental
Assessment of Proposed Improvements for the Pitt-Greenville Airport (dated
February 1998) that was prepared for the FAA. In order to avoid wetland impacts
at the south end of Runway 2/20, the only option would be to extend the runway
to the north, which would also apply to the Taxiway A realignment project.
Factors that preclude further extension to the north include multiple height
obstructions (trees), relocations in a minority community, and an increase in noise
impacts to communities. Therefore, no practicable alternatives exist other than
the project as it is proposed.
Minimization
Wetland impacts will be confined to the construction limits as indicated in the
permit drawings. To minimize potential impacts to adjacent wetlands contractors

ATLANTA ¦ BATON ROUGE ¦ CHARLESTON ¦ CHARLOTTE ¦ COLUMBIA ¦ GREENSBORO ¦ GULFPORT ¦ JACKSONVILLE
KNOXVILLE ¦ LITTLE ROCK ¦ MOBILE ¦ ORLANDO ¦ RALEIGH ¦ RICHMOND ¦ SARASOTA ¦ TALLAHASSEE ¦ TAMPA ¦ WEST PALM BEACH
.11
will be required to use best management practices such as the use of silt fencing
and grassed side-slopes to prevent siltation of adjacent wetlands.
3. There are no impacts to perennial streams associated with the proposed project,
and the impacted wetland consists of a naturalized, jurisdictional ditch, situated
parallel to Taxiway A. As compensation for unavoidable wetland impacts, on-site
mitigation is being proposed. The on-site mitigation would involve relocating the
ditch east of its current location, parallel to the realigned Taxiway A. The
relocated ditch will have a broad flat bottom and will be seeded with herbaceous
hydrophytic vegetation. The relocation of the ditch would result in a mitigation
ratio of 1:1.4, and would maintain the current flow, function, and features of the
current ditch.
4. Three existing stormwater pipes that currently discharge into the ditch will be
realigned and extended. Stormwater from the impervious surface of the taxiway
will flow over grassed shoulders and through grassed swales before entering the
catch basins, located between the runway and taxiway, before discharging into the
ditch.
5. The proposed project was determined to be EXEMPT from the Tar-Pamlico
Riparian Buffer Rules. This determination was made though on-site coordination
with Mr. Tom Steffens of DWQ on May 3, 2005. The On-Site Determination of
exemption by Mr. Steffens is attached.
6. Currently there are pipes within the existing ditch that allow access to uplands and
the security fence along the eastern Airport property boundary. Three 42-inch
reinforced concrete pipes will be placed in the new ditch channel to maintain
access to upland areas and the Airport security fence. These pipes will be
countersunk to allow for the passage of fish and other aquatic wildlife.
7. Sediment and erosion control measures will be implemented prior to any ground
disturbance activities. Sediment and erosion control structures will be maintained
regularly (especially following rainfall event) by Pitt-Greenville Airport staff.
8. Sediment and erosion control measures will not be placed in wetlands.
9. Borrow/waste areas will not impact wetlands. Fill material will be obtained from
upland areas on Airport property, and if necessary from upland areas off-site.
Waste materials will be disposed of in a local landfill or recycled.
10. A wetland delineation was preformed for wetlands within the project study area,
and an approved Jurisdictional Determination has been received from the United
States Army Corps of Engineers (Action ID 200411827).

STTBMcT: Request for Comments for the Proposed Improvements to Pitt-Greenville.Airport,.i'i
County.
This office has reviewed the referenced document. The Division of water Quality (DWQ) is responsible
for the issuance of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for acttvitics that impact waters, of the
us,, including wetlands. It is our understanding that there are potential impacts to jurisdictional
wetlands and streams. The project will have impacts to wetlands, streams, and other surface waters
associated with;
Project specific Comments.
1. From a preliminary review it appears that impacts may occur to an UT to the Tar River. The Tar
River adjacent to the Pitt,Greenville Airport is classified as WS-IV; Nutrient Sensitive Waters;
Critical Area. DWQ is very concerned with sedimentation and erosion impacts that could result from
this project. DWQ recowmends that highly protective sedimentation and erosion control Bws be
implemented to reduce the risk of sediment runoff to the Tar. River. Storm water should be
transported through vegetated conveyance to the greatest extent practicable. If-the percent built upon
area of the Airport exceeds 24 percent engineered, storm welter controls will be required to control
runoff from the first inch of rainfall. Because the Tar River are nutrient sensitive waters, engineered
storm water controls are required to be constructed wetlands, bio-retention areas, or grassed swales,
Refer to 15A NCAC 2)B .0216(3)(b)(ii) attd 2B 0258.
General Comments Regarding Bridge Replacement Projects
2, After the selection of the preferred alternative and prior to an issuance of the 401 Water Quality
Certification, the Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority is respectfully reminded that they will need to
demonstrate the avoidance and minimization of impacts to wetlands (and streams) to the maximum
extent practical. i
3. In accordance with the Environmental Management Commission's vles {15A NCAC
2H.0506(b)(6) 1, mitigation will be, required for impacts of greater an 150 linear 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, in accordance with the Environmental Management
Commission's Mules { 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h)(3)1, the NC Ecosystem Enhancement program may-.
be available for use as stream mitigation.

Dear Mr. Smail,
As per your request on 03May 2005 and subsequent site visit on 03May 2005 to the above referenced property,
staff from this office have made determinations concerning the drainage feature in question located on the Pitt-
Greenville Airport property.
Maps provided by the LPA Group during the site visit had the relevant feature to be evaluated. The drainage
feature appears on the Pitt County Soil Survey. The feature location is described as a drainage ditch that drains
east to west from under NC Hwy 33 into the Pitt-Greenville property. The feature fans out into an un-
channelized "swamp stream" with no defined channel or other characteristics that would make it subject to the
Tar-Pam Riparian Buffer Rules. Further into the site, the feature turns to the south and has been channelized,
armored with rip-rap, and has regularly maintained vegetation along the banks, adjacent to an active taxiway.
The drainage feature evaluated has been determined to be EXEMPT from the Tar-Pamlico River Riparian
Buffer Rules. ( 15 A NCAC 02B .0259). This feature is a UT of the Tar River [03-03-05,28-(84), WS-IV NSW]
Should you have any questions concerning this transmission or its applicability to the Tar-Pamlico Riparian
Buffer Rules, please call Tom Steffens at 252-948-3920.

APPROVAL OF 401 Water Quality Certification and Additional Conditions
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-
500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500, and 15 NCAC 2B .0259. This certification authorizes the
Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority to place permanent fill material in 0.79 acres of wetlands in Pitt County.
The project shall be constructed pursuant to the application dated November 5, 2004 (received November
S, 2004) to realign Taxiway A to the east of the existing taxiway in Pitt County. The approved design is
that submitted in your application dated November 5, 2004. The authorized impacts are as described
below:
Table 1. Wetland Impacts for the Tar-Pamlico River Basin
Wetland Mitigation
Section Wetland Type Impacts Required
(acres) (acres)
Site 1 Non-Riverine 0,79 0
Total 0.79 0
The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the waters of the Tar-
Pamlico River Basin in conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of
applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina
certifies that this activity will not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of
PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the application and conditions hereinafter set
forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application, as described
in the Public Notice. Should your project change, you are required to notify the DWQ and submit a new
application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval
letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions. If any additional wetland impacts,
or stream impacts, for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre or 150 linear feet, respectively,
additional compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7).
For this approval to remain valid, you are required to comply with all the conditions listed below. In
addition, you should obtain all other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project
including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-discharge and
Water Supply watershed regulations. This Certification shall expire three years from the date of the cover
letter from DWQ or on the same day as the expiration date of the corresponding Corps of Engineers
Permit, whichever is sooner.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. Construction will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in turbidity
outside the area of construction or construction-related discharge. Erosion and sediment control
practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to
assure compliance with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard.
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must equal or exceed the
proper design, installation, operation and maintenance outlined in the most recent version of
the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual., These
devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil)
projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
b. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must equal or exceed the
proper design, installation, operation and maintenance outlined in the most recent version of
the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual. The reclamation measures and implementation
must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act.
2. All sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the
maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands
and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored after the
Division of Land Resources has released the project. .
3. If an environmental document is required, this Certification is not valid until a FONSI
or ROD is issued by the State Clearinghouse. All water quality-related conditions of the
FONSI or ROD shall become conditions of this Certification.
4. No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the State until the concrete has
hardened.
5. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters
associated with this permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or
borrow sites be located in wetlands or stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it
is a direct impact from road construction activities.
6. All channel relocations will be constructed in a dry work area, and stabilized before stream
flows are diverted. Channel relocations will be completed and stabilized prior to diverting
water into the new channel. Whenever possible, channel relocations shall be allowed to
stabilize for an entire growing season. Vegetation used for bank stabilization shall be limited to
native species, and should include establishment of a 50 foot wide vegetated buffer on both
sides of the relocated channel to the maximum extent practical. A transitional phase
incorporating coir fiber and seedling establishment is allowable.
7. Upon completion of the project, the Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority and/or The LPA Group of
North Carolina shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to
notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. The
responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the
Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project.
8. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed
below the elevation of the streambed to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life unless
it can be shown to DWQ that providing passage would be impractical. 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 shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ.
9. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in
waters of the U.S., or protected riparian buffers.
10. All temporary fills in wetlands and surface waters shall be removed upon completion of the
project. In addition, the post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures or fill
will need to return the project site to its preconstruction contours and elevations. The
revegetation of the impacted areas with appropriate native species will be required.
11. Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the
end of the growing season following completion of construction.
12. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and
maintained to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or
other toxic materials.
13. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or
adjacent to surface waters is prohibited.
14. Two copies of the final construction drawings shall be furnished to NCDWQ prior to the pre-
construction meeting. Written verification shall be provided that the final construction
drawings comply with the attached permit drawings contained in the application dated January
7, 2004.
15. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor
approved by this authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any
land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
16. The Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority, and its authorized agents, shall conduct its activities in a
manner consistent with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from
compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of
State law and Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being met
(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State or federal law is
being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may
reevaluate and modify this certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance
with such standards and requirements in accordance with 15A NCAC 211.0507(d). Before
modifying the certification, DWQ shall notify the Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority and/or The
LPA Group of North Carolina and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0503 and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance
with 15A NCAC 211.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to the Pitt-
Greenville Airport Authority and/or The LPA Group of North Carolina in writing, shall be
provided to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any permit issued
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404
Permit for the project.
17. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be posted on the construction site at all times.
In addition, the Water Quality Certification (and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be
maintained with the Division Engineer and the on-site project manager.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions
are made conditions of the Federal 404 and/or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification
shall expire upon the expiration of the 404 permit.

Ed - we finally received the copy of the clearinghouse checkoff on April 5, 2005
which means our statutory clock runs through June 3, 2005. This is an Individual
Permit and would therefore have to be issued from Raleigh. Brian Wrenn with the
Transportation Permitting Unit had provided the comments on the environmental
document for DWQ. I have discussed this with John Hennessy, supervisor of the
Transportation Permitting Unit and we have agreed it is suitable for that unit to
handle it. Please note that Brian had substantial comments on the environmental
document, and issuance of the 401 will depend upon whether those issues were
addressed suitably. Also, the Central Office will consult with Tom Steffens directly
for his input.

Cyndi,
THE LPA GROUP had our onsite meeting today at the Pitt-Greenville Airport
with Tom Steffens, the meeting went very well. Tom indicated that he will
not be able to issue the 401 permit until the State Clearinghouse issues a
FONSI. I was under the impression that we had fulfilled the SEPA
requirements, due to the fact the issues with the floodplain was cleared,
and that the 401 process was taken off of hold (process was on hold pending
completion of the SEPA process). Please let me know if I have to provide
Tom additional information, in order to get the 401 permit issued. If you

Melba, Chris - We have a 401 application on hold for this project pending final
approval through the state clearinghouse. Ed Smail with the LPA Group claims
they have your blessing, but he could point to no documentation as proof. A
simple "yes" from either one of you will suffice.
Tom - in the interim, I've instructed the consultant to e-mail you a copy of the
Public Notice. That's pretty much it for the application. Our 401 project # is
04-1810, not to be confused with the sepa #s. I'll reserve issuance of the 401 or

Cyndi,
I have a SEPA review here for taxiway realignment at the Greenville airport and
wanted to see if you would like to see it. I would think that our issues could like be
taken care of at permitting but here is a brief summary of the project. I have
attached a few scanned photos from the package as well.
The project consists of realigning Taxiway A to the east and building a new
connector between A and the runway. There is a drainage feature in the project
area that has been determined to be a jurisdictional wetland. It is connected to
wetlands adjacent the Tar River. It is proposed to be relocated to the east of its
current location. Mitigation proposed will be 1.4:1 (1.07 acres mitigated to 0.79
impacted). The document states that the relocation will serve as the mitigation.
Necessary permits will be applied for.
Please let me know if you want to see the whole document.
Thanks,
Alex

Action ID No. 200510054
Biologists tivith the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. (Commission) reviewed the Environmental.
Evaluation Form "C" and US Army Corps of Engineers public notice to determine the effects of proposed taxiway
improvements to the Pitt-Greenville A-irport on fish and wildlife resources. Our comments are provided in accordance
with certain provisions of the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G. S. 113A-1 et seq., as amended; 1 NCAC-25)
and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The proposed airport improvements are the realignment of the taxiway at the southern end of Runway 2/20 to
provide a 400-ft separation between the runway centerline and the taxiway centerline and a new taxiway connector
between the taxiway and the runway. The realignment is needed to provide sufficient spacing between the runway and
taxiway for safe aircraft operations and to comply with current Federal Aviation Administration safety requirements.
Wetland impacts include the fill and relocation of a ditch that flows within the area. Proposed mitigation for this impact
includes relocating the ditch east of the site at a mitigation ratio of 1.4:1 (1.07 acres mitigation to 0.79 acres impact).
The Commission does believe the project as proposed will adversely effect fish and wildlife resources in the
Tar/Pamlico basin. Best management practices to control sedimentation, erosion, and siltation must be in place prior to
disturbance to prevent adverse impacts to the water quality and aquatic habitat of the Tar River. All proposed mitigation
must be considered adequate and accepted by federal and state regulatory agencies.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application. -If you need further assistance
or additional information, please contact me at [phone].

SUBJECT: Request for Comments for the Proposed Improvements to Pitt-Greet<iville,Airpor(,.Ptt ??'?r
County.
This office has reviewed the referenced document. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is responsible
for the issuance of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for trctivitica that impact waters of the
U.S., including wetlands, 10's our understanding that there are potential impacts to jurisdictional
wetlands and streams. The project will have impacts to wetlands, streams, and other surface waters
associated with:
Project Specific Comments.
1. From a preliminary review it appears that impacts may occur to an UT to the Tar River. The Tar
River adjacent to the Pitt-Greenville Airport is classified as WS-IV; Nutrient Sensitive Waters;
Critical Area. DWQ is very concerned with sedimentation and erasion impacts that could result from
this project. DWQ recommends that highly protective sedimentation and erosion control BMPs be
implemented to reduce the risk of sediment runoff to the Tar River. Storm water should be
transported through vegetated conveyance to the greatest extent practicable. Ifthe percent built upon
area of the Airport exceeds 24 percent engilaeered storm water controls will be required to control
runoff from the first inch of rainfall. Because the Tar River are nutrient sensitive waters, engineered
storm water controls are required to be constructed wetlands, bib retention areas, or grassed swales,
Refer to 15A NCAC 2B.0216(3)(b)(ii) and 2B ,0258.
General Comments Regarding Bridge Replacement ,Projects
2, After the selection of the preferred alternative and prior to an issuance of the 401 Water Quality
Certification, the Fitt-Greenville Airport Authority is respectfully reminded that they will need to
demonstrate the avoidance and minimization of impacts to wetlands (and streams) to the maximum
extent practical.
3. In accordance with the Environmental Management Commission's.Kules 115A NCAC
2Ii.0506(b)(6)), mitigation will be, required for impacts of greater khan 150 HAW 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. In accordance with the Environmental Management
Commission's Rules (15A NCAC 211.0506 (h)(3) 1, the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program maY..
be available for use as stream mitigation.

DWQ offers the following conIments on the referenced documents:
R - L
4. The 481 Water Quality Certification application will need -to specifically address the proposed
methods for storm water management. More specifically, atorxn water will not be permitted to
discharge directly into the creek. Instead, storm water should be designed to drain to a properly
designed storm water detention facility/apparatus ta•adble*.e di. se flow and nutrient treatment.
r
5. For watersheds subject to riparian buffer. rules,?fiparian buffer impacts-should be avoided and
minimized to the greatest extent possible. Refet:to 15A NC 4 2B .0259 for a table of allowable
uses. t
6. Any new culverts must be countersunk to alloii*, wnimpeded fish and other aquatic organisms passage
through the crossing. `•
7.? Sedimentation and erosion control measures sufficient, to j rotect water resources must be
implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities. Structures should be maintained regularly,
especially following rainfall events.
8. :Sedi=4 pnd erosion control measures should not be placed in wetlands.: ;
9, Borrow/waste areas should avoid wetlands to the maximum extent practicable. Impacts to wetlands
in borrow/waste areas could precipitate compensatory nutigation.
10. While the use of National Wetland inventory (NWI) maps and soil surveys is a useful office tool,
their inherent inaccuracies require that qualified personnel perform onsite wetland delineations prior
to permit approval.
DWQ appreciates the opportunity to provide comments an your project. Should you have any questions
or require any additional information, please contact Nicole Thomson at 919-715-3415.

ENVIRONMENTAL
EVALUATION
FORM "C"
(Short Environmental Assessment)
for
AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS
FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION
SOUTHERN REGION
ATLANTA AIRPORTS DISTRICT OFFICE
Airport Name: Pitt-Greenville Airport Proposed Project: Taxiway A Realignment
This Environmental Assessment becomes a Federal document when evaluated and signed by the responsible FAA official.
Responsible FAA Official: Date: -
Final 3/22/99 Form C
ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION FORM "C"
FOR SHORT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS
Environmental Evaluation Form "C," Short Environmental Assessment (EA), is based upon the
guidance in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 50504A, "Airport Environmental
Handbook" or subsequent revisions, which incorporates the Council on Environmental Quality's
(CEQ) regulations for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as well as the
US Department of Transportation environmental regulations (including FAA Order 1050.1D or
subsequent revisions), and many other federal statutes and regulations designed to protect the
Nation's natural, historic, cultural, and archeological resources. It was prepared by FAA Eastern
Region Airports Division, but it is adapted for use in the Atlanta Airports District Office.
Form C is intended to be used when a project cannot be categorically excluded (CATEX) from
formal environmental assessment, but when the environmental impacts of the proposed project are
expected to be insignificant and a detailed EA would not be appropriate. Accordingly, Form C is
intended to meet the intent of a short EA while satisfying the regulatory requirements of an EA.
Proper completion of Form C would allow the FAA to determine whether the proposed airport
development project can be processed with a short EA, or whether a more detailed EA must be
prepared. FAA normally intends to use a properly completed Form C to support a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI).
AWlicability
Form C should be used if the sponsor's proposed project meets the following two (2) criteria:
1) The proposed project involves conditions ("extraordinary circumstances") identified in
paragraph 21 (projects normally requiring an EIS); paragraph 22 (projects normally requiring
an EA); paragraph 24 (extraordinary circumstances); or paragraph 26 (cumulative impacts), and
the sponsor shall demonstrate that involvement with, or impacts to, the extraordinary
circumstances are not notable in number or degree of impact, and that any significant impacts
can be mitigated below threshold levels.
2) The proposed project must fall under one of the following categories of Federal Airports
Program actions noted with an asterisk (*):
(a) Approval of an airport location (new airport).
*(b) Approval of a project on an airport layout plan (ALP).
*(c) Approval of federal funding for airport development.
*(d) Requests for conveyance of government land.
*(e) Approval of release of airport land.
*(f) Approval of the use of passenger facility charges (PFC).
*(g) Approval of development or construction on a federally obligated airport.
Final 3/22/99 Form C
C
Do any of these listed Federal Airports program action(s), 2(b) - (g), apply to your project?
Yes X No** If "yes," list them here (there can be more than one).
Paragraph 22 (projects normally requiring an EA)
(b) Approval of a project on an airport layout plan (ALP)
(c) Approval of federal funding_ for airport development
(g) Approval of development or construction on a federally obligated airport
If "no," see (**) below.
** If the proposed project does not meet 1) or 2) above, i.e., one or more answers to the
questions resulted in a (**), do not complete this Form. Rather, contact the appropriate
official (listed at the end of this form) for additional instructions.
Directions
Prior to completing this form FAA recommends that you contact the environmental specialist in the
ADO to insure that the form is appropriate for your proposed action. Once you have completed the
Form in accordance with the following instructions, submit it to the ADO review.
To complete Form C, the preparer should describe the proposed project and provide information on
any potential impacts of the proposed project. Accordingly, it will be necessary for the preparer to
have knowledge of the environmental features of the airport. Although some of this information
may be obtained from the preparer's own observations, previous environmental studies and
associated documents, or research, the best sources are the jurisdictional federal, state and local
resource agencies responsible for protecting specially-protected resources, such as wetlands, coastal
zones, floodplains, endangered or threatened species, properties in or eligible for National Register
status, DOT Section 303/4(f) lands, etc. As appropriate, these agencies should be consulted prior to
submitting information to the FAA. It is important to note that in addition to fulfilling the
requirements of NEPA through this evaluation process, the FAA is responsible for ensuring that
airport development projects comply with the many laws and orders administered by the agencies
protecting specially-protected resources. Moreover, the Form is not meant to be a stand-alone
document. Rather, it is intended to be used in conjunction with applicable Orders, laws, and
guidance documents, and in consultation with the appropriate resource agencies.
An electronic version of this Evaluation Form is available on-line at http://www.faa.gov/arp/aea.
In addition, some of the guidance and regulatory documents referenced in this Evaluation Form are
available on-line at http://www.faa.gov/arp/arphome.htm. A document entitled "Tips for Airport
Sponsors and their Consultants" is also available at http://www.faa.gov/asw/asw600/envreq.html.
We encourage the preparer to complete the Form electronically, rather than by hand. It may then be
submitted via e:mail, with a copy of the completed signature page sent by fax or mail; or, a hard
copy of the completed Form may be submitted by fax or mail. The contact list should be removed
from the completed Form prior to its submittal. Those responses requiring further explanation, or
separate project plans or maps, should be attached at the end of the Form. In the attachment,
identify the issue by its associated number/title (e.g., response to Item 13 , Coastal Zone Impacts).

4. Proposed Development Action (describe ALL associated projects that are involved):
The nronosed nroiect consists of the realignment of Taxiway A to the east and a new connector
between Taxiway A and the runway. Taxiway A is being realigned in order to bring the taxiway 0
to current FAA design standards. The realignment of Taxiway A will result in a straight taxiway
that is parallel to the existing runwn. The realigned taxiway will be 400 feet centerline to
centerline from the existing runway
5. Describe the Purpose of and Need for the Project:
Due to FAA regulations (AC 150/5300-13 CHG 6) Taxiway A must be realigned to provide 400
feet between the centerline of Taxiway A and the centerline of the runway. The realignment will
result in a straight taxiway, as opposed to the tapering of the existing axiway, which is only 275 feet
from the centerline of the southern end of the runway. The addition of a new connector will provide
a more direct route to Runway 2. This realignment will result in safer and more efficient airport
operations
6. Alternatives to the Project: Describe any other reasonable actions that may feasibly substitute for
the proposed project, and include a description of the "No Action" alternative. If there are no
feasible or reasonable alternatives to the proposed project, explain why:
Alt #1 The proposed project consists of the realignment of Taxiway A to the east and a new
connector between Taxiway A and the runway. Taxiway A is being realigned in order to bring t-
taxiwagpto current FAA design standards. The realignment of Taxiway A will result in a straight
taxiway that is parallel to the existing runway. The realigned taxiway will be 400 feet centerline to
Final 3/22/99 Form C
C
centerline from the existing runway.
Alt. #2
No Action Alt.: The No Action Alternative would leave the taxiway in its current condition. This
condition is unsafe and not in compliance with FAA regulations. Therefore the No Action
Alternative is not recommended.
Explanation: There are no feasible Alternatives to the proposed project because there is only one
path to straighten the existing ty. The existing taxiwy must be aligned with the rest of the
taxiway that was straightened by past projects in order to be parallel with the runway (to meet FAA
regulations), therefore there is no other direction or location where this project could be
constructed.
7. Describe the affected environment of the project area (terrain features, level of urbanization,
sensitive populations, etc). Attach a map or drawing of the area with the location(s) of the proposed
action(s) identified. Attachment? Yes X No
The affected environment is the area in the southeast corner of the Pitt-Greenville Airport, where the
relocation of Taxiway A and the construction of the Taxiway A2 Connector are proposed. The
project area lies entirely on existing airport property and does not require the acquisition of public or
private property. This is an open, grassy area, which slopes down from the existing axiwU into a
drainaize feature, and slopes back up and levels off into a grassy field. The entire area is mowed
frequently and has no vegetation more than a few feet high. The drainage feature is a naturalized
ditch that has been determined to be a jurisdictional wetland. The ditch will be relocated to the east
of its current location.
See attached maps and site photographs.
8. Are there attachments to this Form? Yes X No If "yes," identify them below.
Site Vicinity Map, Site Location Map, Proposed Jurisdictional Impacts Map, FEMA Flood Ma,
Site Photographs, United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concurrence, and State
Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) concurrence.
9. Environmental Consequences - Special Impact Categories (refer to corresponding sections in
5050.4A , or subsequent revisions, for more information and direction to complete each category,
including discussions of Thresholds of Significance).
(1) NOISE
1) Does the proposal require a noise analysis per Order 5050.4A? Explain. (Note: Noise
sensitive land uses are defined in Table 1 of FAR Part 150). Yes No X
2) If "yes," determine whether the proposed project is likely to have a significant impact on
noise levels over noise sensitive areas within the DNL 65 dBA noise contour.
Final 3/22/99 Form C
C
(2) COMPATIBLE LAND USE
(a) Would the proposed project result in other (besides noise) impacts exceeding thresholds of
significance that have land use ramifications, such as disruption of communities, relocation of
residences or businesses, or impact natural resource areas? Explain.
The proposed project is entirely within the Pitt-Greenville Airport's current property
boundaries 'therefore the proposed project will not have any land use ramifications. Impacts to
natural resource areas will be mitigated in accordance with the appropriate federal agency's
guidelines.
(b) Would the proposed project be located near or create a wildlife hazard as defined in FAA
Advisory Circular 150/5200-33, "Wildlife Hazards on and Near Airports"? Explain.
The existing ditch will be relocated to the east of its current location. Additional wildlife
attractants will not be created.
(3) SOCIAL IMPACTS
(a) Would the proposed project cause relocation of any homes or businesses? Yes No X
Explain. The proposed project will not cause any relocations because the entire project is within
the Pitt-Greenville Airport's current property boundary (no acquisition of public or private
property will be required for the proposed project).
(b) If "yes," describe the availability of adequate relocation facilities
(c) Would the proposed project cause an alteration in surface traffic patterns, or cause a
noticeable increase in surface traffic congestion? Explain.
The proposed project is located within the Pitt-Greenville Airport's current property
boundaries therefore the project will not directly effect surface traffic operations in the
surrounding area. The proposed project will also not increase air traffic at the airport, which
would not lead to more surface traffic to and from the airport.
(4) INDUCED SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACTS
Would the proposed project cause induced, or secondary, socioeconomic impacts to
surrounding communities, such as change business and economic activity in a community;
impact public service demands; induce shifts in population movement and growth, etc.?
Yes No X Explain The project will not have any negative socioeconomic impacts on
the surrounding community,because of its confinement to airport property and lack of
measurable social impacts.
Final 3/22/99 Form C
C
(5) AIR QUALITY
(a) Does the proposed project have the potential to increase airside or landside capacity,
including an increase in capacity to handle surface vehicles? Explain.
No The project will correct existing safety issues associated with the current tapered taxiway.
(b) Identify whether the project area is in a non-attainment or maintenance area for any of the
six (6) criteria air pollutants having National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)
established under the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), and identify which pollutant(s)
apply. If the proposed project is in an attainment area, no further air quality analysis is needed;
skip to item (6). See EPA Green Book at http://www.epa.gov/oar/oagps/greenbk for current
attainment areas.
According to the EPA website: hqp://www.epa.gov/oar/oagps/greenbk/anay.htrnl
Pitt County NC is in an attainment area for all six (6) criteria air pollutants.
(c) Is an air quality analysis needed with regard to indirect source review requirements or levels
of aircraft activity (See Order 5050.4A and the 1997 FAA Handbook "Air Quality Procedures
for Civilian Airports and Air Force Bases"). Explain. If "yes," comply with state requirements.
(d)(1) Would the proposed action be an "exempted action," as defined in 40 C.F.R Part
51.853(c)(2) of the General Conformity Rule? If exempt, skip to item (6). List exemption
claimed.
(d)(2) Would the increase in the emission level of the regulated air pollutants for which the
project area is in non-attainment or maintenance exceed the de minimis standards? Yes _
No
(d)(3) If "no," would the proposed project cause a violation of any NAAQS, delay the
attainment of any NAAQS, or worsen any existing NAAQS violation? Explain.
(d)(4) Would the proposed project conform to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) approved by
the state air quality resource agency? Explain, and provide supporting documentation.
(6) WATER QUALITY
Describe the potential of the proposed project to impact water quality, including ground water,
surface water bodies, any public water supply systems, etc. Provide documentation of
Final 3/22/99 Form C
C
consultation with agencies having jurisdiction over such water bodies, as applicable.
There will be direct impacts to a drainage feature that is connected to wetlands adjacent to the
Tar River. This ditch will be relocated to the east and will replace the features and functions of
the existing naturalized ditch Best Management Practices (BMPs) and guidelines set forth in
the FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-10A Standards for Specifying Construction of Airports,
Item 056 Temporary Air and Water Pollution Soil Erosion and Siltation Control will be in
place during construction to prevent impacts to the Tar River and its adjacent wetlands. A
public water intake is located immediate upstream of the airport and will not be affected by
the proposed project

Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni) Endangered
Yellow Lampmussel (Lampsilis cariosa) Endangered
Eastern Lampmussel (Lampsilis radiata radiata) Threatened
Eastern Pondmussel (Ligumia nasuta) Threatened
A field survey for suitable habitat was performed for state listed species in the project study
area and no suitable habitat was found.
(11) WETLANDS
Does the proposed project involve the modification of delineated wetlands (wetlands must be
delineated using methods in the US Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) 1987 Wetland Delineation
Manual; delineations must be performed by a person certified in wetlands delineation). Provide
justification for your response.
A wetland delineation was performed within the study area and field reviewed by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers The proposed project will impact a ditch that has developed wetland
characteristics This impact is unavoidable as there is no other direction to straighten the
taxiway and the project is a necessity due to FAA safety regulations. The impacted ditch will
be relocated to the east of its current location resulting in a 1.4:1 mitigation of wetland impacts
(107 acres mitigated to 0.79 acres impacted) Relocation of the ditch will serve as mitigation
for the unavoidable impacts Mitigation measures will take into account guidance provided in
Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5200-33 Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On Or Near Airports.
(12) FLOODPLAINS

Scenic River or a Study River, or any adjacent areas that are part of such rivers, listed on the
Wild and Scenic Rivers Inventory? Consult the (regional) National Parks Service (NPS), U.S.
Forest Service (FS), or other appropriate federal authority for information. Early consultation is
Final 3/22/99 Form C 9
C
recommended. According to the National Park Service website there are no Wild and Scenic
Rivers near the project area nor would any such rivers be directly or indirectly impacted by the
proposed project
(16) FARMLAND
(a) Would the proposed project involve the use of federal financial assistance or conversion of
federal government land? Explain: No The proposed project is located on existing airport
property, therefore would not require conversion of federal government lands. The property was
acquired prior to August 6 1984, therefore formal coordination with the Natural Resources
Conservation Service is not required.
(b) If "yes" would it convert farmland protected by the Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA)
(prime or unique farmland) to non-agricultural uses? Yes No
(c) If "yes," determine the extent of project-related farmland impacts by completing (and
submitting to the Natural Resources Conservation Service) the "Farmland Conversion Impact
Rating Form" (NRCS Form AD 1006). Coordinate with the state or local agricultural
authorities. Explain your response, and attach the Form AD 1006, if applicable.
(17) ENERGY SUPPLY AND NATURAL RESOURCES
What effect would the proposed project have on energy or other natural resource consumption?
Would demand exceed supply? Explain. Letters from local public utilities and suppliers
regarding their abilities to provide energy and resources needed for large projects may be
necessary. The project will realign an existing axiway and associated lighting, therefore, it will
not increase energy or natural resource demands. During construction it is inevitable that
equipment will use energy, however this is negligible due to the small size of the project.
(18) LIGHT EMISSIONS
Would the proposed project have the potential for airport-related lighting impacts on nearby
residents? Explain, and, if necessary, provide a map depicting the location of residences in the
airport vicinity in relation to the proposed lighting system.

no additional lighting will be required.
(19) SOLID WASTE
Would the proposed project generate solid waste? Yes X No
If "yes," are local disposal facilities capable of handling the additional volumes of waste
resulting from the project? Explain.
The only solid waste created by the project is the asphalt and associated construction material
from the existing t_axiway and this waste will be recycled for future use.
NOTE: A sanitary landfill is incompatible with airport operations if the landfill is located within 10,000 feet of a
runway serving turbo-powered aircraft, or 5,000 feet of a runway serving piston-powered aircraft. Refer to FAA
Advisory Circular 150/5200.33 " Hazardous Wildlife Attractants on or Near Airports," and FAA Order 5200.5B,
Final 3/22/99 Form C 10

Dear Mr. Murphy:
This responds to your letter of May 25, 2004 regarding the proposed taxiway realignment project
at the Pitt-Greenville Airport, Pitt County, North Carolina. In your letter you provide a
biological determination of "no effect" for the federally endangered West Indian manatee
(Trichechus manatus), red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Tar spinymussel (Elliptio
steinstansana) and the federally threatened bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). These
comments are provided in accordance with. section 7 of the Endangered Species Act .(ESA) of
1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543)..
Based on the information provided, it appears that the project site does not contain suitable
habitat for any federally listed species known to occur in the area. Therefore, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service concurs with your determination that the project will have no effect on federally
endangered and threatened species. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the
ESA have been satisfied. We remind you that obligations under section 7 consultation must be.
reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered in this review; (2) this
action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or (3) a new
species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by this identified action.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to review this project. If you have any questions
regarding our response, please contact Mr. Gary Jordan at [phone] (Ext. 32).
Sincerely,

DATE: August 19, 2004
SUBJECT: Scoping Comments for the Proposed Improvements to Pitt-Greenville Airport, Pitt
County, North Carolina.
OLIA No. 05-0029
This memorandum responds to a request from The LPA Group of North Carolina, on the behalf of
the Pitt-Greenville.Airport Authority, for our concerns regarding the effects of proposed taxiway
improvements to the Pitt.-Greenville Airport on fish and wildlife resources. Our comments are provided in
accordance with certain provisions of the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1 et seq., as
amended; 1 NCAC-25) and the r ish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C.
661-667d).
The proposed airport improvements are the realignment of the taxiway at the southem,end of
Runway 2/20 to provide a 400-ft separation between the runway centerline and the taxiway centerline and a
new taxiway connector between the taxiway and the runway. The realignment is needed to provide
sufficient spacing between the runway and taxiway for safe aircraft operations and to comply with current
Federal Aviation Administration safety requirements.
The Commission encourages a full evaluation of practicable alternatives to identify a solution to
the problem that also minimizes impacts to fish and wildlife resources in the region. To provide a thorough
review of proposed project impacts on fish and wildlife resources, we request that consultants, project
sponsors, or permit applicants provide the following information in the environmental documents:
1. Include descriptions of fish and wildlife resources within the project area, and a listing of federally or
state designated threatened, endangered, or special concern species. When practicable, potential
borrow areas to be used for project construction should be included in the inventories. A listing of
designated species can be developed by consulting information from:

2. Surveys should be conducted by biologists with both state and federal endangered species permits.
3. Include descriptions of any streams or wetlands affected by the project.
4. Include project maps identifying wetland areas. Identification of wetlands may be accomplished
through coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). If the COE is not consulted, the
person delineating wetlands should be identified and their credentials listed.
5. Provide a description of project activities that will occur within wetlands, such as fill or channel
alteration. Acreage of wetlands impacted by alternative project designs should be listed.
6. Provide a description and a cover type map showing acreage of upland wildlife habitat impacted by the
project.
7. Discuss the extent to which the project will result in loss, degradation or fragmentation of wildlife
habitat (wetlands and uplands).
8. Discuss any measures proposed to avoid or reduce impacts of the project or to mitigate unavoidable
habitat losses.
9. Discuss the cumulative impacts of secondary development facilitated by the proposed project. Such
discussion should weigh the economic benefits of such growth against the costs of associated
environmental degradation.
(a) Include specific measures that will be used to address stormwater at the source. Include specific
requirements for both residential and industrial developments and Best Management Practices (BMPs)
that will be required.
(b) Include specific measures that will be used to protect stream corridors, riparian habitat, and a
minimum of the 100-year floodplain from filling and development. Commitments by the project t
sponsors to protect area streams with riparian buffers through purchase or conservation easement are
of particular interest
10. Include a list of document preparers that shows each individual's professional background and
qualifications.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input in the early planning stages of this project. We
look forward to reviewing the preceding information and other details of project alternatives as they are
developed further. At that time we may have some specific concerns and recommendations regarding
impacts of the project on fish and wildlife resources. If we can further assist your office in the interim,
please contact me at [phone] extension 345.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority, Attention Mr. James G. Turcotte, Post Office Box 671,
Greenville, North Carolina, 27835, has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO
PLACE EARTHEN FILL MATERIAL WITHIN 34,412 SQUARE FEET (0.79 AC) OF
JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF REALIGNING AN EXISTING
TAXIWAY NEXT TO RUNWAY 2 AT THE PITT- GREENVILLE AIRPORT (PGV). The
proposed project will be located at the airport off the west side of North Carolina Highway 11,
adjacent to the Tax River, north of Greenville; in Pitt County, North Carolina. Mr. Edward T
Smail, The LPA Group of North. Carolina, P.A., 4904 Professional Court, Suite 201, Raleigh,
North Carolina, 27609, is acting as agent for the Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority (Authority) in
the processing of this application.
The following description of this proj cot is taken £ron-, data provided by the applicant and
aom observations made during onsite inspections by representatives of the Corps of Engineers. .
The Authority owns approximately 1,000 acres adjacent to Highway 11 north of Greenville. The
airport iftmetions primarily-as a commuter airport and contains five runways and sip: taxiways.
The project area is a portion of the tract located in the southeast comer of the property and
includes Taxiway A, which is located next to Runway 2. Approximately 3.51 acres of freshwater
emergent wetlands are located within the 23-acre project area. The wetlands are primarily
vegetated with soft rush, cattail and.assorted herbaceous wetland species. The area has been
impacted by past construction activities and is maintained in a mowed condition. The Authority
proposes to realign Taxiway A in order to increase the distance from the centerline of the runway
to the centerline of the taxiway. Current Federal Aviation Authority standard airfield
requirements mandate a 400-foot separation distance for standard runway to parallel taxiway
centerlines. Currently, Taxiway A tapers from 400 feet to 250 feet from the centerline of Runway
2. The Authority proposes to remove the taper from the existing taxiway in order to meet the
required 400-foot separation. The proposed work would result in the filling of 34,412 square feet
(0.79 AC) of wetlands. All fill material will be obtained from an approved upland source.
The applicant proposes to utilize typical road construction techniques. Equipment will
include trackhoes, bulldozers, dump trucks, and other grading machines.
2
The application package provided by the Authority details its avoidance and minimization
efforts as follows:
a. Wetland impacts will be minimized through the use of best management practices
such as the use of silt fences and grassing of side-slopes.
b. Wetland impacts will be confined to construction limits.
The applicant proposes the following conceptual compensatory mitigation for the proposed
I'D
impacts: Creation of 1.106 acres of wetlands in high ground parallel to Taxiway A. This
represents a ratio of 1:1.4.
Plans showing the work are included with this public notice.. The plans and additional
information provided by the applicant detailing avoidance and minimization efforts can also be
reviewed at the Washington Regulatory Field Office, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
Wihhington District, 107 Union Drive Suite 200, Washington, North Carolina 27889.
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 (DA) permit
will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and
reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality 0IgCDWQ) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as
required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in
the 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 properties, or properties listed as being
eligible for inclusion therein, and this site 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, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity
will 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 itwill 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 and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive
Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and
conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, rndnera_ 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
peanut 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.
Tl.a Corps of Engineers is soliciting continents from the public; Federal, State and local
agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate
the impacts of this proposed activity. Any contents received will be considered by the Corps of
Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition.or deny a permit for this proposal. To
make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic
properties, water quality, general enviromnental effects and the other public interest factors listed
above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an
Enviromnental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to detennine
the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this DA permit will not be made until the North
Carolina Division: of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification
required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The I\TCDWQ considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The
application and this public notice for the DA pen-nit serves as application to the I\TCDWQ for
certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the
offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ), Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleig"n, North Carolina. Copies of such
materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.

PROJECT NARRITIVE..
TAXIWAY A REALIGNMENT
PITT-GREENVILLE AIRPORT
INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE
The Pitt-Greenville Airport proposes to improve the existing Taxiway A to bring it into
compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standard airfield requirements
(see Sheet 2 of 5). The project also includes the addition of a connector between
Taxiway A and Runway 2. Currently, Taxiway A tapers from 400 feet'to 250 feet from
the centerline of Runway 2 to the centerline of the existing Taxiway A. This taper occurs
at the southernmost end of Taxiway A. The FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13
describes the standards for taxiway dimensions. The FAA requires that standard runway
to parallel taxiway centerline separation distance is 400 feet for airports at or below an
elevation of 1,345 feet. To meet the FAA mandated requirements, the taper will be taken.
out of the current taxiway, making it parallel to Runway 2 and giving Taxiway A a
centerline separation distance of 400 feet from the centerline of Runway 2.
As air traffic increases taxiways can become the limiting factor in the operational
capacity of an airport. Taxiways should provide free movement to and from runways,
terminal/cargo, and parking areas. Taxiways should promote smooth fl ow of airli ne
traffic by minimizing areas in which airplanes would have to reduce taxiing speed.
According to the FAA Advisory Circular 150/5.300-13 the design principals for taxiways
are, 1) provide each runway with a parallel taxiway or the capability therefore, 2) build
taxiways as direct as possible, 3) provide bypass capability or multiple access to runway
ends, 4) minimize crossing runways,. 5) provide airport traffic control tower line of sight;
and 7) avoid traffic bottle necks. Currently, Taxiway A is not parallel to Runway 2, does
not have a centerline separation distance of 400 feet, and does not provide a direct route
to Runway 2. With the current taper on Taxiway A airplanes have to negotiate a sharp
bend to access Runway 2. This sharp bend slows the flow of airline traffic and creates a
traffic bottleneck as well as a safety hazard. The current configuration places aircraft on
Taxiway A too close to the runway, creates interference with the localizer, and increases
the potential for the aircraft to be struck by incoming planes. Taxiway A will be
realigned such that it will be parallel to Runway 2, which removes the taper and results in
a centerline separation distance of 400 feet. The proposed connector will provide a more
direct route to Runway 2. The realignment will also result in a more gradual curve,
which will allow airplanes a smoother transition onto Runway '2. Overall, the
realignment will promote smooth flow of airline traffic and will result in safer and more
efficient airline operations.
ALTERNATIVES
Because of specific FAA safety issues associated with the existing taxiway, there are no
practicable alternatives to the proposed project.
IMPACTS
The Wetlands in the project area were delineated using guidelines in the 1987 U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual and mapped using traditional
surve_y.techniques in. May 2004. .The.delineation has been reviewed on-site and approved
_.. -- ---- _. __..._ _
by the USAGE. The jurisdictional area that will be impacted consists of a naturalized
ditch that provides a hydrologic connection between forested wetlands, located near the
corporate hangars, to wetlands on the floodplain of the Tar River.
Wetland impacts were calculated based on the area of the wetlands within the
construction limits of the proposed project. In order to realign Taxiway A, 0.79 acres of
jurisdictional ditch will be impacted (see Sheet 3 of 5). The fill material placed in the
ditch will consist of clean soil excavated from uplands. The proposed realignment will
require 12,745 cubic yards of clean fill material to be placed in the jurisdictional ditch.
To maintain the hydrologic connection between the forested wetland near the corporate
hangars and the wetlands adjacent to the Tar River, the jurisdictional ditch will be
relocated to the east of its current location.
MITIGATION
Avoidance
The safety area was recently extended on the south end of Runway. 2/20, which is
adjacent to the Taxiway A project area. An alternative for extending the runway further
north was investigated and is documented in the Environmental Assessment of Proposed
Improvements for the Pitt-Greenville Airport (dated February 1998) that was prepared for
the FAA. In order to avoid wetland impacts, the option for extending the runway to the
north would also apply to the Taxiway A realignment project. Factors that preclude
further extension to the north include multiple height obstructions (trees), relocations in a
minority community, and an increase in noise impacts to communities. Therefore,' no-
practicable alternatives exist other than the project as it is proposed.
Minimization
Wetland impacts will be confined to the construction limits as indicated in the permit
drawings. To minimize potential impacts to adjacent wetlands contractors will be
required to use best management practices such as the use of silt fencing and grassed
side-slopes to prevent siltation of adjacent wetlands (see Sheet 4 of 5).
Compensatory Mitization
The impacted wetland consists of a naturalized, jurisdictional ditch, situated parallel to
Taxiway A. As compensation for unavoidable wetland impacts, on-site mitigation is
being proposed. The on=site mitigation would involve relocating the ditch east of its
current location; parallel to the realigned Taxiway A. The relocated ditch will have a
broad flat bottom and will allowed to re-vegetate naturally. The relocation of the ditch
would result in a mitigation ratio of 1:1.4, and would maintain the current flow, function,
and features of the current ditch. Currently there are pipes within the existing ditch that
allow access to uplands along the eastern Airport property boundary. Three 42-11161h.
reinforced concrete pipes will be installed during construction of the new ditch to allow
continued access for maintenance of mowed upland areas and the Airport security fence
(see Sheet 4 of 5).

Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority, Attention Mr. James G. Turcotte, Post Office Box 671,
Greenville, North Carolina, 27835, has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO
PLACE EARTHEN FILL MATERIAL WITHIN 34,412 SQUARE FEET (0.79 AC) OF
JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF REALIGNING AN EXISTING
TAXIWAY NEXT TO RUNWAY 2 AT THE PITT.- GREENVILLE AIRPORT (PGV). The
proposed project will be located at the airport off the west side of North Carolina Highway 11,
adjacent to the Tar River, north of Greenville, in Pitt County, North Carolina. Mr. Edward J.
Smail, The LPA Group of North Carolina, P.A., 4904 Professional Court; Suite 201, Raleigh,
North Carolina, 27609, is acting as agent for the Pitt-Greenville Airport Authority (Authority} in
the processing of this application.
The following description of this project is taken from data provided by the applicant and
from observations made during onsite inspections by representatives of the Corps of Engineers. .
The Authority ovens approximately 1,000 acres adjacent to Highway 11 north of Greenville. The
airport functions primarily as a commuter airport and contains five runways and six taxiways.
The project area is a portion of the tract located in the southeast corner of the property and
includes Taxiway A, which is located next to Runway 2. Approximately 3.51 acres of freshwater
emergent wetlands are located within the 23-acre project area. The wetlands are primarily
vegetated with soft rush, cattail and-assorted herbaceous wetland species. The area has been
impacted by past construction activities and is maintained in a mowed condition. The Authority
proposes to realign Taxiway A in order to increase the distance from the centerline of the runway
to the centerline of the taxiway. Current Federal Aviation Authority standard airfield
requirements mandate a 400-foot. separation distance for standard runway to parallel taxiway
centerlines. Currently, Taxiway A tapers from 400 feet to 250 feet from the centerline of Runway
2. The Authority proposes to remove the taper from the existing taxiway in order to meet the
required 400-foot separation. The proposed work would result in the filling of 34,412 square feet
(0.79 AC) of wetlands. All fill material will be obtained from an approved upland source.
The applicant proposes to utilize typical road construction techniques. Equipment will
include trackhoes; bulldozers, dump trucks, and other grading machines.
2
The application package provided by the Authority details its avoidance and minimization
efforts as follows:
a. Wetland impacts will be minimized through the use of best management practices
such as the use of silt fences and grassing of side-slopes.
b. Wetland impacts will be confined to construction limits.
The applicant proposes the following conceptual compensatory mitigation for the proposed
impacts: Creation of 1.106 acres of wetlands in high ground parallel to Taxiway A. This
represents a ratio of 1:1.4.
Plans showing the work are included with this public notice.. The plans and additional
information provided by the applicant detailing avoidance and minimization efforts can also be
reviewed at the Washington Regulatory Field Office, U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
Wilmington District, 107 Union Drive Suite 200, Washington, North Carolina 27889.
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 Anny (DA) permit
will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and
rev?evved by th agency, nor_ will a DA per_,it be issued T,?ritil the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ) has detennined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as
required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(33 U.S.G. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period, specified in
the 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 properties, or properties listed as being
eligible for inclusion therein, and this site 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, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity
will affect species:, or their critical. habitat, designated as endangered or-threatened pursuant to the
Endangered Species Act of 1973.
3
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 and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive
Order 11988), 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 thatwould 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.
The Corps of Engineers _is soliciting connii?er_ts from the public, federal, State and local
agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate
the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of
Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition.or deny a pen-nit for this proposal. To
make this decision, continents are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic
properties, water quality, general envirorunental effects and the other public interest factors listed
above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NE-PA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine
the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this DA permit will not be made until the North
Carolina Division! of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State certification
required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDWQ considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act. The
application and this public notice for the DA permit serves as application to the NCDWQ for
certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the
offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ), Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such
materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.

PROJECT NARRITIVE..
TAXIWAY A REALIGNMENT
PITT-GREENVILLE AIRPORT
INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE
The Pitt-Greenville Airport proposes to improve the existing Taxiway A to bring it into
compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standard airfield requirements
(see Sheet 2 of 5). The project also includes the addition. of a connector between
Taxiway A and Runway 2. Currently, Taxiway A tapers from 400 feet to 250 feet from
the centerline of Runway 2 to the centerline of the existing Taxiway A. This taper occurs
at the southernmost end of Taxiway A. The FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13
describes the standards for taxiway dimensions. The FAA requires that standard runway
to parallel taxiway centerline separation distance is 400 feet for airports at or below an
elevation of 1,345 feet. To meet the FAA mandated requirements, the taper will be taken
out of the current taxiway, making it parallel to Runway 2 and giving Taxiway A a
centerline separation distance of 400 feet from the centerline of Runway 2.
As air traffic increases taxiways can become the limiting factor in the operational
capacity of an airport. Taxiways should provide free movement to and from runways,
terminal/cargo, and parking areas. Taxiways should promote smooth flow of airline
traffic by minimizing areas in. which airplanes would have to reduce taxiing speed.
According to the FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13 the design principals for taxiways
are, 1) provide each runway with a parallel taxiway or the capability therefore, 2) build
taxiways as direct as possible, 3) provide bypass capability or multiple access to runway
ends, 4) minimize crossing runways, 5) provide airport traffic- control tower line of sight;
and 7) avoid traffic bottle necks. Currently, Taxiway A is not parallel to Runway 2, does
not have a centerline separation distance of 400 feet, and does not provide a direct route
to Runway 2. With the current taper on Taxiway A airplanes have to negotiate a sharp
bend to access Runway 2. This sharp bend slows the flow of airline traffic and creates a
traffic bottleneck as well as a safety hazard. The current configuration places aircraft on
Taxiway A too close to the runway, creates interference with the localizer, and increases
the potential for the aircraft to be struck by incoming planes. Taxiway A will be
realigned such that it will be parallel to Runway 2, which removes the taper and results in
a centerline separation distance of 4,00 feet. The proposed connector will provide a more
direct route to Runway 2. The realignment will also result in a more gradual curve,
which will allow airplanes a smoother transition onto Runway '2. Overall, the
realignment will promote smooth flow of airline traffic and will, result in safer and more
efficient airline operations.
ALTERNATIVES
Because of specific FAA safety issues associated with the existing taxiway, there are no
practicable alternatives to the.proposed project.
IMPACTS
The Wetlands in the project area were delineated using guidelines in the 1987 U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual and mapped using traditional
surve_y_techniques in_May.2004. The delineation has been reviewed on-site and approved
by the USAGE. The jurisdictional area that will be impacted consists of a naturalized
ditch that provides a hydrologic connection between forested wetlands, located near the
corporate hangars, to wetlands on the floodplain of the Tar River.
Wetland impacts were calculated based on the area of the wetlands within the
construction limits of the proposed project. In order to realign Taxiway A, 0.79 acres of
jurisdictional ditch will be impacted (see Sheet 3 of 5). The fill material placed in the
ditch will consist of clean soil excavated from uplands. The proposed realignment will
require 12,745 cubic yards of clean fill material to be placed in the jurisdictional ditch.
To maintain the hydrologic connection between the forested wetland near the corporate
hangars. and the wetlands adjacent to the Tar River, the jurisdictional ditch will be
relocated to the east of its current location.
MITIGATION
Avoidance
The safety area was recently extended on the south end of Runway 2/20, which is
adjacent to the Taxiway A project area. An alternative for extending the runway further
north was investigated and is documented in the Environmental Assessment of Proposed
Improvements for the Pitt-Greenville Airport (dated February 1998) that was prepared for
the FAA. In order to avoid wetland impacts, the option for extending the runway to the
north would also apply to the Taxiway A realignment project. Factors that preclude
further extension to the north include multiple height obstructions (trees), relocations in a
minority community, and an increase in noise impacts to communities. Therefore, no-
practicable altematives exist other than the project as it is proposed.
Minimization
Wetland impacts will be confined to the construction limits as indicated. in the permit
drawings. To minimize potential impacts to adjacent wetlands contractors will be
required to use best management practices such as the use of silt fencing and grassed
side-slopes to prevent siltation of adjacent wetlands (see Sheet 4 of 5).
ComPensatory Mitigation
The impacted wetland consists of a naturalized, jurisdictional ditch, situated parallel to

allow access to uplands along the eastern Airport property boundary. Three 42-inch
reinforced concrete pipes will be installed during construction of the new ditch to allow
continued access for maintenance of mowed upland areas and the Airport security fence
(see Sheet 4 of 5).

PROJECT NARRITIVE
TAXIWAY A REALIGNMENT
PITT-GREENVILLE AIRPORT
INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE
The Pitt-Greenville Airport proposes to improve the existing Taxiway A to bring it into
compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standard airfield requirements
(see Sheet 2 of 5). The project also includes the addition of a connector between
Taxiway A and Runway 2. Currently, Taxiway A tapers from 400 feet to 250 feet from
the centerline of Runway 2 to the centerline of the existing Taxiway A. This taper occurs
at the southernmost end of Taxiway A. The FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13
describes the standards for taxiway dimensions. The FAA requires that standard runway
to parallel taxiway centerline separation distance is 400 feet for airports at or below an
elevation of 1,345 feet. To meet the FAA mandated requirements, the taper will be taken
out of the current taxiway, making it parallel to Runway 2 and giving Taxiway A a
centerline separation distance of 400 feet from the centerline of Runway 2.
As air traffic increases taxiways can become the limiting factor in the operational
capacity of an airport. Taxiways should provide free movement to and from runways,
terminal/cargo, and parking areas. Taxiways should promote smooth flow of airline
traffic by minimizing areas in which airplanes would have to reduce taxiing speed.
According to the FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13 the design principals for taxiways
are, 1) provide each runway with a parallel taxiway or the capability therefore, 2) build
taxiways as direct as possible, 3) provide bypass capability or multiple access to runway
ends, 4) minimize crossing runways, 5) provide airport traffic control tower line of sight,
and 7) avoid traffic bottle necks. Currently, Taxiway A is not parallel to Runway 2, does
not have a centerline separation distance of 400 feet, and does not provide a direct route
to Runway 2. With the current taper on Taxiway A airplanes have to negotiate a sharp
bend to access Runway 2. This sharp bend slows the flow of airline traffic and creates a
traffic bottleneck as well as a safety hazard. The current configuration places aircraft on
Taxiway A too close to the runway, creates interference with the localizes; and increases
the potential for the aircraft to be struck by incoming planes. Taxiway A will be
realigned such that it will be parallel to Runway 2, which removes the taper and results in
a centerline separation distance of 400 feet. The proposed connector will provide a more
direct route to Runway 2. The realignment will also result in a more gradual curve,
which will allow airplanes a smoother transition onto Runway 2. Overall, the
realignment will promote smooth flow of airline traffic and will result in safer and more
efficient airline operations.
ALTERNATIVES
Because of specific FAA safety issues associated with the existing taxiway, there are no
practicable alternatives to the proposed project.
IMPACTS
The Wetlands in the project area were delineated using guidelines in the 1987 U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual and mapped using traditional
