9. NAMATM DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
The project is located on SR 1300 near Merrimon on Back Creek (Black Creek
on some maps) whicb is a major tributary to Adams Creek in Carteret County. Back
Creek flows from southeast to northwest and is approximately 85 wide at the project
site. An intertidal marsh dominated by black needlerush (Juncus roemerianusl and
saltgrass (Distichlis. spicata) with scattered patches of giant cordgrass (Sl2artina
evnosuroides) and groundsel bush Baeeharis ball ifoli borders this tidal creek.
Manmade canals approximately 15'-20' wide exist on three sides of SR 1300 and run
parallel to the road. The canal along the southeast side of the road feeds a large
shallow water bay. Along the bank of this canal, erosion is occurring with washout
areas within 5' of the pavement. The existing bridge is currently approximately 25'
wide by 87' long, utilizes five spans, and has a. vertical clearance at high We of less
than 2'. Back Creek is a Primary Nursery Area, a class SA NSW water and closed to
shellfishing.
Project Dmription.
The applicant proposes to replace an existing timber bridge with a new cored
slab concrotc bridge. The process will involve "prepping " the approaches to the
bridge by excavating areas approximately 10' X 30' on each side of the bridge.
During the replacement process, the applicant proposes to raise the. existing grade
approximately 18" and to shift the road alignment for approximately 400' on each side
of the bridge to the west by 4' to 5'. In addition, the applicant proposes to install 580
linear feet of rock rip rap along the shoreline of the canals to eliminate areas subject to
washing and to stabilize the proposed 1:1 slope. According to the applicant, the
existing abutments will be used if riot damaged during demolition/removal of the old
bridge spans. The proposed bridge will remain 25' wide and will have three spans that
total 105' in length. Post project vertical clearance will be approximately 2.5'.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed would involve the following AECs: Coastal Wetlands,
Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Areas, and the Estuarine Shoreline. The "prepping" of
the area would involve high ground excavation in an area totaling approximately 600
ft2 and would involve the removal of approximately 70 yds3. The filling activities
associated with the shifting of the road would impact approximately 4000 ftz of high
ground. During the shoulder dressup, approximately 540 fe of shoreline bank below
the MAW would be excavated thus impacting a small area of shallow water habitat.
NOV-09-1995 1453 FROM EHNR WILM REG OFFICE TO GALAMB & DORNEY P.06
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
North CaroUrta Department of Tran5portatIon/ Carteret County
PACE 43
The shifting of the road and the placement of tho associated rock rip rap would also
result in the loss of approximately 5600 fO of shallow water habitat within the
Estuarine Waters of the two southernmost canals. Also during the shifting of the road,
approximately 2800 ftz of coastal wetlands on the northeast side of the goad would be
filled.
All these excavation and filling activities would probably result in short-term and
localized turbidity within the Estuarine Waters of Back Creek. The applicant has
proposed to implement Best Management Practices to minimize any adverse effects
which may be caused by project-related sedimentation. After a pre-application
meeting, the applicant agreed. to modify their project proposal which included
substantially more impact to not only the resources being directly impacted but also the
resources in the adjoining embayment. Consequently, the alignment was shifted
slightly to the west and the amount of resources that were impacted was reduced
tremendously.

Dear Mr. Franklin:
GARLAND B. GARRETT JR.
SECRETARY
Subject: Carteret County, Replacement of Bridge No. 3 on SR 1300 over Back Creek, State
Project No. 5.1651.
The following correspondence is a response to your September 5, 1995 letter concerning the
above referenced project. The proposed action will include the demolition and replacement of bridge
No. 3 over Back Creek. The bridge will be replaced along the existing alignment and will not require a
temporary detour. The existing bridge is outdated and in need of repair. There is also an erosion problem
along the approach roads to this facility creating a safety hazard.
During the design of the project, measures were taken to avoid and minimize impacts to waters of
the US including wetlands. In addition, the proposed project will improve water quality and navigation
within the main channel. The elevation of the new structure will be slightly higher (6 inches) than the
existing bridge and will have fewer piers in the channel. The existing abutments will be retained if not
damaged during construction. In addition, the grade of the approach roads will be raised approximately
18 inches and shoreline stabilization is necessary to eliminate the erosion problems. The increased side
slopes from this action will result in filling 0.13 acres of surface waters and 0.06 acres of tidal marsh
located adjacent to the roadway. The elimination of the erosion problems will improve water quality in
the area and the navigation within Back Creek will also be improved by constructing a higher bridge with
fewer piers in the channel.
The impacts to wetlands have also been reduced from the original proposal which required
excavation in 0.09 acres of tidal marsh to maintain the existing navigational channel adjacent to the
southern approach road. This proposal avoids these impacts by shifting the alignment of the approach
roads 4 to 5 feet to the west.
3*10
J?
2
As a result of these avoidance, minimization and improvement measures (mitigation) it is our
opinion that compensatory mitigation is not required for the project. The NCDOT is requesting that the
proposed work be authorized under the COE general Permit Number SAWC080-N-000-0291. If you
have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to call Scott P. Gottfried at
919-733-3141, Ext. 307.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation, Division of Highways for Department of the Army authorization
and a State Water Quality Certification to replace an existing timber bridge
with a concrete slab bridge over Back Creek, on SR 1300, near Merrimon, in
Carteret County, North Carolina. The proposed work will involve the
excavation of about 540 square feet of wetlands and the filling of
approximately 8,400 square feet of wetlands as a result of channel
stabilization and shifting of the existing road alignment. Your receipt of
this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in
accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification is required under the provisions of section 401 of the same law.
A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification
has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State
action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by November 6, 1995, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Should you have any questions or comments, please contact me at telephone
[phone].
Sincerely,

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
North Carolina Department of Transportation/Carteret County
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
The project is located on SR 1300 near Merrimon on Back Creek (Black Creek
on some maps) which is a major tributary to Adams Creek in Carteret County. Back
Creek flows from southeast to northwest and is approximately 85 wide at the project
site. An intertidal marsh dominated by black needlerush uncu roemerianus) and
saltgrass i tichli i to with scattered patches of giant cordgrass (Syartinna
cynosuroides) and groundsel bush Baccharis halimifolia borders this tidal creek.
Manmade canals approximately 15'-20' wide exist on three sides of SR 1300 and run
parallel to the road. The canal along the southeast side of the road feeds a large
shallow water bay. Along the bank of this canal, erosion is occurring with washout
areas within 5' of the pavement. The existing bridge is currently approximately 25'
wide by 87' long, utilizes five spans, and has a vertical clearance at high tide of less
than 2'. Back Creek is a Primary Nursery Area, a class SA NSW water and closed to
shellfishing.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to replace an existing timber bridge with a new cored
slab concrete bridge. The process will involve "prepping " the approaches to the
bridge by excavating areas approximately 10' X 30' on each side of the bridge.
During the replacement process, the applicant proposes to raise the. existing grade
approximately 18" and to shift the road alignment for approximately 400' on each side
of the bridge to the west by 4' to 5'. In addition, the applicant proposes to install 580
linear feet of rock rip rap along the shoreline of the canals to eliminate areas subject to
washing and to stabilize the proposed 1:1 slope. According to the applicant, the
existing abutments will be used if not damaged during demolition/removal of the old
bridge spans. The proposed bridge will remain 25' wide and will have three spans that
total 105' in length. Post project vertical clearance will be approximately 2.5'.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed would involve the following AECs: Coastal Wetlands,
Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Areas, and the Estuarine Shoreline. The "prepping" of
the area would involve high ground excavation in an area totaling approximately 600
ft2 and would involve the removal of approximately 70 yds'. The filling activities
associated with the shifting of the road would impact approximately 4000 ft' of high
ground. During the shoulder dressup, approximately 540 ft' of shoreline bank below
the MHW would be excavated thus impacting a small area of shallow water habitat.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
North Carolina Department of Transportation/ Carteret County
PAGE #3
The shifting of the road and the placement of the associated rock rip rap would also
result in the loss of approximately 5600 ft2 of shallow water habitat within the
Estuarine Waters of the two southernmost canals. Also during the shifting of the road,
approximately 2800 ft2 of coastal wetlands on the northeast side of the road would be
filled.
All these excavation and filling activities would probably result in short-term and
localized turbidity within the Estuarine Waters of Back Creek. The applicant has
proposed to implement Best Management Practices to minimize any adverse effects
which may be caused by project-related sedimentation. After a pre-application
meeting, the applicant agreed. to modify their project proposal which included
substantially more impact to not only the resources being directly impacted but also the
resources in the adjoining embayment. Consequently, the alignment was shifted
slightly to the west and the amount of resources that were impacted was reduced
tremendously.

Enclosed is the application of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation, Division of Highways for Department of the Army authorization
and a State Water Quality Certification to replace an existing timber bridge
with a concrete slab bridge over Back Creek, on SR 1300, near Merrimon, in
Carteret County, North Carolina. The proposed work will involve the
excavation of about 540 square feet of wetlands and the filling of
approximately 8,400 square feet of wetlands as a result of channel
stabilization and shifting of the existing road alignment. Your receipt of
this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in
accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law.
A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification
has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State
action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by November 6, 1995, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Should you have any questions or comments, please contact me at telephone
[phone].
Sincerely,

9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
The project is located on SR 1300 near Merrimon on Back Creek (Black Creek
on some maps) which is a major tributary to Adams Creek in Carteret County. Back
Creek flows from southeast to northwest and is approximately 85 wide at the project
site. An intertidal marsh dominated by black needlerush Juncu. roemerianus) and
saltgrass istichfi icata with scattered patches of giant cordgrass S artin
cynosuroides) and groundsel bush Baccharis halimifolia borders this tidal creek.
Manmade canals approximately 15'-20' wide exist on three sides of SR 1300 and run
parallel to the road. The canal along the southeast side of the road feeds a large
shallow water bay. Along the bank of this canal, erosion is occurring with washout
areas within 5' of the pavement. The existing bridge is currently approximately 25'
wide by 87' long, utilizes five spans, and has a vertical clearance at high tide of less
than 2'. Back Creek is a Primary Nursery Area, a class SA NSW water and closed to
shellfishing.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to replace an existing timber bridge with a new cored
slab concrete bridge. The process will involve "prepping " the approaches to the
bridge by excavating areas approximately 10' X 30' on each side of the bridge.
During the replacement process, the applicant proposes to raise the. existing grade
approximately 18" and to shift the road alignment for approximately 400' on each side
of the bridge to the west by 4' to 5'. In addition, the applicant proposes to install 580
linear feet of rock rip rap along the shoreline of the canals to eliminate areas subject to
washing and to stabilize the proposed 1:1 slope. According to the applicant, the
existing abutments will be used if not damaged during demolition/removal of the old
bridge spans. The proposed bridge will remain 25' wide and will have three spans that
total 105' in length. Post project vertical clearance will be approximately 2.5'.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed would involve the following AECs: Coastal Wetlands,
Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Areas, and the Estuarine Shoreline. The "prepping" of
the area would involve high ground excavation in an area totaling approximately 600
fe and would involve the removal of approximately 70 yds3. The filling activities
associated with the shifting of the road would impact approximately 4000 ft2 of high
ground. During the shoulder dressup, approximately 540 ft2 of shoreline bank below
the MHW would be excavated thus impacting a small area of shallow water habitat.

t
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
North Carolina Department of Transportation/ Carteret County
PAGE #3
The shifting of the road and the placement of the associated rock rip rap would also
result in the loss of approximately 5600 fe of shallow water habitat within the
Estuarine Waters of the two southernmost canals. Also during the shifting of the road,
approximately 2800 W of coastal wetlands on the northeast side of the road would be
filled.
All these excavation and filling activities would probably result in short-term and
localized turbidity within the Estuarine Waters of Back Creek. The applicant has
proposed to implement Best Management Practices to minimize any adverse effects
which may be caused by project-related sedimentation. After a pre-application
meeting, the applicant agreed. to modify their project proposal which included
substantially more impact to not only the resources being directly impacted but also the
resources in the adjoining embayment. Consequently, the alignment was shifted
slightly to the west and the amount of resources that were impacted was reduced
tremendously.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
North Carolina Department of Transportation/Carteret County
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
The project is located on SR 1300 near Merrimon on Back Creek (Black Creek
on some maps) which is a major tributary to Adams Creek in Carteret County. Back
Creek flows from southeast to northwest and is approximately 85 wide at the project
site. An intertidal marsh dominated by black needlerush Juncus roemerianus) and
saltgrass (Di snicata) with scattered patches of giant cordgrass ( in
cynosuroides) and groundsel bush Baccharis halimifolia borders this tidal creek.
Manmade canals approximately 15'-20' wide exist on three sides of SR 1300 and run
parallel to the road. The canal along the southeast side of the road feeds a large
shallow water bay. Along the bank of this canal, erosion is occurring with washout
areas within 5' of the pavement. The existing bridge is currently approximately 25'
wide by 87' long, utilizes five spans, and has a vertical clearance at high tide of less
than 2'. Back Creek is a Primary Nursery Area, a class SA NSW water and closed to
shellfishing.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to replace an existing timber bridge with a new cored
slab concrete bridge. The process will involve "prepping " the approaches to the
bridge by excavating areas approximately 10' X 30' on each side of the bridge.
During the replacement process, the applicant proposes to raise the existing grade
approximately 18" and to shift the road alignment for approximately 400' on each side
of the bridge to the west by 4' to 5'. In addition, the applicant proposes to install 580
linear feet of rock rip rap along the shoreline of the canals to eliminate areas subject to
washing and to stabilize the proposed 1:1 slope. According to the applicant, the
existing abutments will be used if not damaged during demolition/removal of the old
bridge spans. The proposed bridge will remain 25' wide and will have three spans that
total 105' in length. Post project vertical clearance will be approximately 2.5'.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed would involve the following AECs: Coastal Wetlands,
Estuarine Waters, Public Trust Areas, and the Estuarine Shoreline. The "prepping" of
the area would involve high ground excavation in an area totaling approximately 600
fe and would involve the removal of approximately 70 yds3. The filling activities
associated with the shifting of the road would impact approximately 4000 ft2 of high
ground. During the shoulder dressup, approximately 540 ft2 of shoreline bank below
the MHW would be excavated thus impacting a small area of shallow water habitat.
A
t
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
North Carolina Department of Transportation/ Carteret County
PAGE #3
The shifting of the road and the placement of the associated rock rip rap would also
result in the loss of approximately 5600 ft2 of shallow water habitat within the
Estuarine Waters of the two southernmost canals. Also during the shifting of the road,
approximately 2800 ft2 of coastal wetlands on the northeast side of the road would be
filled.
All these excavation and filling activities would probably result in short-term and
localized turbidity within the Estuarine Waters of Back Creek. The applicant has
proposed to implement Best Management Practices to minimize any adverse effects
which may be caused by project-related sedimentation. After a pre-application
meeting, the 'applicant agreed to modify their project proposal which included
substantially more impact to not only the resources being directly impacted but also the
resources in the adjoining embayment. Consequently, the alignment was shifted
slightly to the west and the amount of resources that were impacted was reduced
tremendously.

Dear Mr. Tyndall:
SUBJECT: Carteret County, Replacement of Bridge No. 3 on SR 1300 over Back
Creek, State Project No. 6.1651.
Pursuant-to our recent telephone conversation, please find enclosed a
copy of the CAMA,Permit application, drawings and a copy of the fee check for
the above referenced project. The proposed action will include the
demolition and replacement of bridge No. 3 over Back Creek. The bridge will
be replaced along the existing alignment and will not require a temporary
detour.
The elevation of the new structure will be slightly higher (6 inches)
than the existing bridge and will have fewer piers in the channel. The
existing abutments will be retained if not damaged during construction. In
addition, the grade of the approach roads will be raised approximately 18
inches and shoreline stabilization is necessary to eliminate erosion
problems. The increased side slopes from this action will result in filling
0.13 acres of surface waters and 0.06 acres of tidal marsh located adjacent
to the roadway.
The impacts to wetlands and waters have been reduced from the original
proposal which required excavation in tidal marsh to maintain the existing
navigational channel. This proposal avoids these impacts by shifting the
alignment of the approach roads 4 to 5 feet to the west. In addition, the
navigation within the main Back Creek will be improved by constructing a
higher bridge and fewer piers in the channel. As a result of these
avoidance, minimization and improvement measures, it is our opinion that
compensatory mitigation should not be required for the project.
