Subject: Nationwide 3 Notification and Buffer Authorization Request, for the demolition and
reconstruction of Bridge No. 25, NC 39 over Buffalo Creek, Johnston County. MA Project
Number : 04072
Dear Sirs:
Please find enclosed the Pre-Construction Notification for the above referenced project. The existing
bridge (115-foot long) will be replaced with a new 160-foot long bridge (50-foot center span with one 60-
foot approach span and one 50-foot approach span) on the existing alignment. Traffic will use an offsite
detour during construction. There are impacts to buffers and Waters of the U.S./State associated with this
project. The new bridge will completely span the creek and a much larger portion of floodplain. The
bridge replacement will result in a better hydraulic opening and provide for increased wildlife passage
beneath the future bridge. Buffalo Creek is located in the Neuse River Basin and is classified by the
Division of Water Quality at this bridge as C.-NSW 27-57-16-(3).
The bridge will be removed by sawing the deck and lifting it out in sections. We will excavate behind the
end bents and fold them back, then remove them without dropping any components into the creek.
Concrete and steel piles from the existing bridge will be cut off at the mud line of the stream using a
hydraulic shear or other means that does not require construction equipment to get into the water. Best
Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters and for Bridge Demolition and Removal will
be strictly adhered to during the removal of the existing bridge.

FEDERALLY-PROTECTED SPECIES AND CULTURAL RESOURCES
The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) currently list four federally protected species for Johnston County
(Table 1).
Table 1- Federally Protected Species of Johnston County
Federal Status Habitat Biological
Common Name Scientific Name Present Conclusion
Red-cockaded Picoides borealis E N No Effect
woodpecker
Dwarf wedge mussel Alasmidonta heterodon E N No Effect
Tar spiny mussel Elliptio steinstansana E N No Effect
Michaux's sumac Rhus michauxii E N No Effect
A mussel survey was conducted at the project site on November 26, 2003. None of the federally listed
species were found, and it was concluded that the project construction is "Not Likely to Adversely Affect"
the dwarf wedge mussel and the tar spiny mussel. No element occurrences are listed on the NHP database
within one mile of the bridge. No pine trees suitable for RCW foraging or nesting are in, or adjacent to,
the bridge. This project is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any of the federally protected
species listed in Johnston County.
No sites eligible for listing on the National Register occur within the area of potential effect. This project
will not affect listed or eligible historic properties.
Regulatory Approvals
USACE Section 404 Permit: The project qualifies for Nationwide Permit 3 (Maintenance of previously
approved structures). All permit conditions will be followed. Impacts to 45 linear feet of Waters of the
U.S. may result from the placement of fill for bridge bents. For our files, please provide general permit
verification that the activity is authorized.
NCDWQ Section 401 Certification: The project qualifies for 401 General Certification number 3376. All
conditions of the general certification will be followed.
NCDWO Buffer Rules: As bridges are an allowable use they require written authorization from the
Division of Water Quality. Only Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing.
Please give me a call or email if you have any questions.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be
included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream
mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for
listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts:
The bridge replacement will result in an appropriate hydraulic opening and provide for
increased wildlife passage. The new bridge will be 16 feet wider based on current
design standards. Therefore the new bridge will have 1760 additional square feet of
decking over iurisdictional waters of the US/State. Since the new bridge is 45 feet
longer, approximately 0.02 acres of fill will be removed outside the riparian buffer from
the removal of the old bddae end bents. Excavation of 0.005 acres of wetland is
Page 7 of 12
necessary for preformed scour hole construction. 0.0034 acres of fill in wetlands is
anticipated to key in bridge end bents.

4. Pond Creation NA
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): NA
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): NA
Size of watershed draining to pond: NA Expected pond surface area: NA
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The bridge length will be extended from 115' to 160' to span a larger portion of the
floodplain. There will be only one bent partially in the stream. Offsite detour avoids
temporary fill from onsite detour. Eauipment staging and work will be performed within
the existing road footprint. Strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for
sedimentation and erosion control, the protection of wetlands and surface waters, and
bridge demolition will be enforced during project construction. Both wooden and steel
piles from the existing bridge will be cut off at the mud line of the stream usina a
hydraulic shear or other means that does not require construction eauipment to get into
the water. No temporary causeways or temporary work pads will be allowed in the
stream during construction. No weep holes will be allowed in the bridge deck which
allow water to drain directly into the stream. Special sediment control fence (hardware
cloth and stone) will be used where appropriate throughout all phases of construction.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
Page 9 of 12
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
httl2://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strrngide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
No further mitigation is proposed for this project. Bridges are an allowable use per
Buffer Rules.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at hn://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wM/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
