NOTICE OF FILING OF
APPLICATION FOR CAMA MAJOR DEVELOPMENT
PERMIT AND WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources hereby gives public notice as
required by N.C.G.S. 113A-119(b) and 143-215 3(a)(1)(c) that the North Carolina Department
of Transportation filed an application on 11 April 1994 for a permit from the Division of Coastal
Management to develop in an Area of Environmental Concern and for certification from the
Division of Environmental Management that a discharge of fill material in project wetlands will
not violate applicable water quality standards. According to said application, the North Carolina
Department of Transportation proposes to replace an existing bridge with a box culvert. The
site is located on SR 1946 at Bridge No. 17 crossing Porter Creek in Beaufort County, North
Carolina.
A copy of the entire application and additional information maybe examined (or copies furnished
upon request and payment of reproduction costs) during normal business hours of the Division
of Coastal Management, 1424 Carolina Avenue, Washington, North Carolina, and/or the
Division of Environmental Management, 1424 Carolina Avenue, Washington, North Carolina.
The Division of Environmental Management proposes to take final action on this water quality
certification on or before 21 May 1994. The issuance of the CAMA Major Development permit
and the Section 401 Certification may deviate from this projected date depending upon the nature
of the comments submitted and subsequent hearings that may result.
All persons desiring to make comments should do so in writing to Mr. Roger Schecter, Director,
Division of Coastal Management, P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, N.C. 27611, prior to 11 May 1994
for consideration in the CAMA permit decision, and to Mr. John Dorney, Division of
Environmental Management, P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 prior to 6 May
1994 for consideration in the water quality certification decision. Later comments on the CAMA
application will be accepted and considered up to the time of permit decision. Project
modifications may occur based on review and comment by the public and state and federal
agencies. Notice of the permit decision in this matter will be provided upon written request.
Please publish on 21 April 1994 in Washington Daily News

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to replace an existing bridge across Porter Creek
on SR 1946 with a box culvert.

N.C. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
BRIDGE NO. 17
Beaufort County
Environmental setting
The project being considered at this time is N.C. Departm6nt of Transportation (NC
DOT) Bridge No. 17 across Porter Creek on SR 1946 in the eastern part of Beaufort County.
Porter Creek is a tributary to Durham Creek which is a tributary to the Pamlico River. Porter
Creek at Bridge No. 17 has been channelized and has a width of ± 12' and a depth of ±3' at
normal water. Approximately 1 mile downstream of Bridge No. 17, NC DOT replaced another
bridge with a culvert approximately 2 years ago. Vegetation growing adjacent to Bridge No.
17 consists predominately by upland vines and fescue grass. A few clumps of uncus effusus
are also present. Porter Creek is navigable from the Pamlico River to Bridge No. 17.
Project proposal
The applicant is proposing to replace the existing bridge with a 24' 1" by 6' 6" aluminum
box culvert. The culvert will have a length of ±40' to span the road bed. Some site
preparation must occur prior to the culvert placement such as excavation within the creek bed
an along the shoulders of the existing road bed. All excavated materials will be placed on
highground.
Environmental impact
The project should have a minimal environmental impact. ± 1,600 sq. ft. of channelized
creek bottom will be excavated in regards to site preparation for the culvert placement. Also,
adjacent to the creek a few clumps of 7uncus effusus will be excavated and/or filled in the
culvert placement. Some short term turbidity will be existing during project construction.
David L. Gossett - Washington Regional Office - 13 April 1994
N.C. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
BRIDGE NO. 17
Beaufort County
CONDITIONS
(1) No excavated or fill material will be placed at any time in any marsh or surrounding
waters outside of the alignment of the fill area indicated on the work plat(s).
(2) All excavated materials will be confined above mean high water and landward of
regularly or irregularly flooded marsh behind adequate dikes or other retaining structures
to prevent spill-over of solids into any marsh or surrounding waters.
David L. Gossett - Washington Regional Office - 13 April 1994

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
intends to replace the structurally deficient bridge over
Porter Creek on SR 1946 in its existing location. This will
involve closing the road and detouring traffic on other roads
during construction.
An aluminum box culvert will be constructed to replace
the existing bridge. This will require 70 cubic yards of
fill and 170 cubic yards of excavation below Ordinary High
Water. Approximately- 100 cubic yards of high ground will
also be excavated. The excavated material will be disposed
of at an upland site to be determined by the contractor,
pursuant to standard NCDOT procedures.
Enclosed is an application and the required fee for a
CAMA Major Development Permit for this project. The adjacent
property owner has been notified of our intentions. If you
need any additional information, please contact Mr. Gordon
Cashin at [phone]
