Thorpe, Ph.D., Manager Project Development and Environmental Analysis Branch North Carolina Department of Transportation 1548 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699‐1548 (919) 733‐3141 S.2 Type of Action This State Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) has been prepared for the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) in accordance with the requirements of the North Carolina State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA G.S. 113A, Article 1), for the purpose of evaluating the potential impacts of a proposed transportation improvement project. This is an informational document intended for use by both decision‐makers and the public. As such, it represents a disclosure of relevant environmental information concerning the proposed action. This document conforms to the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) guidelines that provide direction regarding implementation of the procedural provisions of SEPA/ National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The United States Army Corps of Engineers is serving in the role of Lead Federal Agency on this project. S.3 Brief Description of the Project The action proposed in this state‐funded Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) is located in northeastern North Carolina along a rural 27.3‐mile corridor of US 64 from east of Columbia in Tyrrell County to US 264 in Dare County (Chapter 1, Figure 1‐1 and Figure 1‐2). The project is located as shown on Figure S‐1. The NCDOT proposes to widen the existing road from a two‐lane highway to a four‐lane expressway and build a new four‐lane bridge over the Alligator River. The posted speed limit along the improved roadway and new bridge will remain at the current 55 miles per hour (mph). In the draft NCDOT 2012‐2018 State Transportation Improvement Program, the bridge portion of the proposed project, including reconnections to existing US 64, is currently funded for right‐of‐way in FY 2012 and for construction in FY 2014. Other portions are funded only for right‐of‐way in FY 2012 and FY 2016. Mitigation in Dare County, from east of the Alligator River to US 264, is funded in FY 2014. Construction of all other sections of the new roadway is currently unfunded. The Project Study Area (PSA), shown on Figure S‐2 begins east of the Town of Columbia, continues across the northern part of Tyrrell County, across the Alligator US 64 Improvements Project (R 2544/5) iii Draft Environmental Impact Statement River, and into the Dare County mainland. The PSA is divided into five major study sections. Sections 1 and 2 are in Tyrrell County, Section 3 is the actual bridge over the Alligator River (including bridge extensions over wetlands), and Sections 4 and 5 are in Dare County. The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) bisects the PSA along the Alligator River. Development along the project corridor includes the town of Columbia, just west of the project and outside the PSA. Within the PSA, development consists primarily of a neighborhood just east of Columbia, a small community at the eastern intersection of US 64 and Old US 64 in Tyrrell County, a marina/convenience store complex on the Alligator River, and the community of East Lake in Dare County. Wetlands and canals are present on both sides of US 64 for most of the project length. The ground is generally wet and low‐lying. Roadside utilities consist mainly of underground fiber optic lines, cell towers, and aerial power. The project corridor is characterized by protected and managed natural resources, as shown on Figure S‐3. Three known structures of historical or architectural importance lie within the PSA: the Lindsay C. Warren Bridge across the Alligator River, East Lake Methodist Church and cemetery, and East Lake Fire Tower. S.4 Purpose of Proposed Project The primary purposes of the proposed action are: Consistency with North Carolina’s Strategic Highway Corridor Plan (which seeks long‐term interconnectivity of consistent transportation corridors in North Carolina) and the Intrastate Highway System (Chapter 1, Figure 1‐2). Reducing the US 64 hurricane evacuation times to better meet state clearance goals in the project study area. Maintaining a bridge across the Alligator River that meets the needs of highway users. The secondary benefits of the proposed action are: Potential for reduction in total crash rates from the conversion of a two‐lane rural roadway to a four‐lane divided section. A new Alligator River bridge will provide the opportunity for safety improvements related to the absence of a swing‐span and signalized approaches, as well as improved shoulders, wider lanes, and bicycle‐safe rails. Potential for improved regional bicycle trail connectivity and pathways from the Town of Columbia to the Outer Banks.

Sir Walter Raleigh, an adventurous English gentleman, sent a group of men to explore the New World. A later expedition established a settlement on Roanoke Island, on the North Carolina coast. In 1586, after enduring winter hardships, lack of food, and disagreements with the Indians, survivors of this colony returned home to England with Sir Francis Drake.

  • US History- Sweeney
    ©Java Stitch Creations, 2015 Part 1: The Roanoke Colony-Background Information What is now known as the lost Roanoke Colony, was actually the third English attempt at colonizing the eastern shores of the United States. Following through with his family's thirst for exploration, Queen Elizabeth I of England granted Sir Walter Raleigh a royal charter in 1584. This charter gave him seven years to establish a settlement, and allowed him the power to explore, colonize and rnle, in return for one-fifth of all the gold and silver mined in the new lands. Raleigh immediately hired navigators Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe to head an expedition to the intended destination of the Chesapeake Bay area. This area was sought due to it being far from the Spanish-dominated Florida colonies, and it had milder weather than the more northern regions. In July of that year, they landed on Roanoke Island. They explored the area, made contact with Native Americans, and then sailed back to England to prove their findings to Sir Walter Raleigh. Also sailing from Roanoke were two members oflocal tribes of Native Americans, Manteo (son of a Croatoan) and Wanchese (a Roanoke). Amadas' and Barlowe's positive report, and Native American assistance, earned the blessing of Sir Walter Raleigh to establish a colony. In 1585, a second expedition of seven ships of colonists and supplies, were sent to Roanoke. The settlement was somewhat successful, however, they had poor relations with the local Native Americans and repeatedly experienced food shortages. Only a year after arriving, most of the colonists left.

  • What Happened to the Lost Colony? Page 1 of 4
    What Happened to the Lost Colony? Page 1 of 4 What Happened to the Lost Colony? People have speculated about the fate of the colonists for more than four hundred years. What do you think happened to the Roanoke colony? Did They Move in with Manteo? Governor John White believed that the colonists found refuge with the Croatoan people led by Manteo. His only evidence was CROATOAN carved on a post at the colony’s deserted fort. Disaster struck White’s relief voya, ge of 1590. Seven men drowned while attempting a landing. Then severe storms forced the remaining crew to seek safer seas. Unable to interest backers in paying for another rescue attempt, White gave up the search. He wrote in 1593 that the relief of the colony was left "to the merciful help of the Almighty." He added, "1 would to God my wealth were answerable to my will," so that he could pay for another voyage himself. What about that idea? No historians or archaeologists have found evidence proving or disproving John White’s theory. The carving remains the most reliable clue to the destination of the colonists when they left Roanoke. Did they go somewhere else later? People have been trying to answer that question for four centuries. Were They Murdered? The colonists Who settled at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607 sent expeditions to search for the Roanoke colonists. They gathered information from Native Americans they met. Powhatan, a powerful Indian leader in the Chesapeake Bay region, told Captain John Smith that he had killed the Roanoke colonists, who had been living with the Chesapeake Indians.

All rights reserved. Story of the Lost Colony Story of the Lost Colony By ReadWorks Before settling at Jamestown and Plymouth, the English attempted to settle on Roanoke Island off of the present-day state of North Carolina. In the summer of 1587, about 115 settlers arrived on Roanoke Island. Later that summer, their governor, John White, sailed back to England for new supplies. However, a naval war between England and Spain had just began when he arrived. He was called to participate. He was finally able to return to Roanoke Island in August 1590. When he arrived, he found no trace of the people he left behind. One of the only hints to the mystery of the lost colony was the word “Croatoan,” which was carved into a wooden post. Croatoan was the name of an island to the south of Roanoke where a tribe of Native Americans lived. Some people think the settlers were killed by the Native Americans. Other historians wonder if the settlers tried to sail back to England themselves. Seventeen years later, the next group of English settlers founded a colony to the north, known today as Jamestown.
