Subject: Proposed Replacement of Bridge No. 8 on SR 1107 over Indiantown Creek,
Camden County, NCMA 1001, WBS Element No. 37474
Please find attached the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Fonn for the
referenced project, which is being submitted to assist you in reviewing details of the proposed
action. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge
No. 8 over Indiantown Creek at the Camden and Currituck County boundary (Figures 1 and 2).
During construction, traffic will be detoured off-site using existing secondary roads.
The existing structure was built in 1937, has a sufficiency rating of 45.3, and is
structurally deficient. The superstructure is composed of a reinforced concrete deck on
continuous I-beams. End bents and interior bents are timber caps on timber piles. The existing
structure is 69.3 feet long and has a clear roadway width of 23.8 feet. The existing bridge will be
removed in accordance with the NCDOT Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and
Removal (BMP-BDR). The timber and steel components will be removed without dropping any
components into Waters of the U.S.
The recommended replacement structure is a three span bridge 110 feet in length with a
clear roadway width of 30 feet. The approach roadway will hold the existing horizontal
alignment and will be approximately the same elevation as the existing roadway. Deck and
roadway drainage will be maintained by utilizing a minimum grade of 0.3 percent and a
minimum cross-slope of 2.0 percent for the proposed structure and roadway approaches. No
deck drains, funnel drains, or drainage structures are included in the project.

Mr. Bill Biddlecombe, USACE
Indiantown Creek is located within the Pasquotank River drainage, subbasin 03-01-54,
and hydrologic unit 03010205. The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) has
designated a best usage classification for Indiantown Creek of "C; Sw" from its source to the
North River confluence nearly three miles downstream of Bridge No. 8. There are currently no
303(d) impaired waters, high quality waters (HQW), outstanding resource waters (ORW), or
drinking water supply waters (WS-1 and WS-II) within a one mile radius of the project study
area.
The proposed bridge replacement is a Case 2 demolition project as described by the
NCDOT BXIP-BDR. The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) states
that anadromous species are found in this portion of Indiantown Creels, including alewife
and blueback herring. A significant fishery for sunfish also exists at this site. NCDOT will
follow all stream crossing guidelines for anadromous fish passage, including moratoriums
on in-water work between February 15 and June 30.
Permanent impacts to Waters of the U. S. include 115 square feet (0.003 acre) of fill in
wetlands from the approach roadways being widened to conform to current design standards.
Mechanized clearing adjacent to the roadway will not include grubbing or maintenance mowing,
therefore any impacts from mechanized clearing will be temporary. Existing wood pilings will
either be pulled out of the channel or cut flush with the substrate. Construction equipment will
be operated from the existing road surface and/or upland areas and will not enter wetland areas.
Measures will be taken to ensure that sediment releases from this activity will be contained to the
immediate location of the pile removal operation. Jurisdictional wetlands are located
immediately adjacent to the existing bridge (Figure 3).
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has identified one Endangered (E
species (red-cockaded woodpecker), one Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance [T(S/A)]
species (American alligator), and one Federal Species of Concern (FSC) as occurring in Camden
County. In addition, the USFWS has identified three Endangered species (leatherback sea turtle,
red-cockaded woodpecker, and West Indian manatee), three Threatened species (loggerhead sea
turtle, piping plover, and seabeach amaranth), one Threatened (proposed for de-listing) (bald
eagle), and three FSC as occurring in Currituck County. Suitable habitat for these listed species
does not exist in the project study area. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that project
construction will have No Effect on these protected species.
We are proceeding with the understanding that the proposed actions are authorized under
provisions of Nationwide Permit No. 3. We anticipate that 401 General Water Quality
Certification No. 3376 will be authorized by the NCDWQ. The NCDOT will comply with all
conditions of the 401 Water Quality Certification. Since this project lies within the jurisdiction
of the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) due to the presence of public trust waters, which
is an Area of Environmental Concern, we are concurrently applying for a CAMA General Permit.
A copy of this application is submitted for your consideration.

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
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. Expmples 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

of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 213.0242 or.0260. N/A
Page 7 of 9
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
Existing impervious acreage totals approximately 0.20 acre and proposed impervious acreage
totals approximately 0.25 acre of the total 1.4 acres on the site. The increase in impervious
acreage is due to the longer bridge structure and wider roadway approach at the bridge site.
There will be no deck drains funnel drains or drainage structures on this project.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) states that anadromous species
are found in this portion of Indiantown Creek including alewife and blueback herring. The site
is also a significant fishery for sunfish striped bass white perch, yellow perch, and catfish.
NCDOT must follow all stream crossing guidelines for anadromous fish passage, includinf,
moratoriums on in-water work between February 15 to June 30. Field investigations were
conducted to assess habitat presence for protected species listed for Camden and Currituck
Counties There is no suitable habitat in the protect area for red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides
borealis) the only species subject to Section 7 consultation that is likely to occur in the project
vicinity and listed for these counties

Subject: Application for CAMA General Permit for the proposed replacement of
Bridge No. 8 on SR 1107 over Indiantowm Creek, Camden County,
NCMA 1001, WBS Element No. 37474
Please accept this letter as a request for a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA)
General Permit for the above referenced project. The North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge No. 8 over Indianto"vn Creek at the
Camden and Currituck County boundary (Figures 1 and 2). During construction, traffic will be
detoured off-site using existing secondary roads.
The existing structure, which was built in 1937 and has a sufficiency rating of 45.3, is
structurally deficient. The superstructure is composed of a reinforced concrete deck on
continuous I-beams. End bents and interior bents are timber caps on timber piles. The existing
structure is 69.3 feet long and has a clear roadway width of 23.8 feet. The existing bridge will be
removed in accordance with the NCDOT Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and
Removal (BAIP-BDR). The timber and steel components will be removed without dropping any
components into Waters of the U.S.
-wt& Ito
The recommended replacement structure is af?re?_span bridge 16 0 feet in length with a
clear roadway width of 30 feet. The approach roadway will hold the existing horizontal
alignment and roadway width. It will also be at approximately the same elevation as the existing
roadway. Deck and roadway drainage will be maintained by utilizing a minimum grade of 0.3
percent and a minimum cross-slope of 2.0 percent for the proposed structure and roadway
approaches. No deck drains, funnel drains, or drainage structures are included in the project.

Indiantown Creek is located within the Pasquotank River drainage, subbasin 03-01-54,
and hydrologic unit 03010205. The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) has
designated a best usage classification for Indiantown Creek of "C; Sw" from its source to the
North River confluence nearly three miles downstream of Bridge No. 8. There are currently no
303(d) impaired waters, high quality waters (HQW), outstanding resource waters (ORW), or
drinking water supply waters (WS-I and WS-II) within a one mile radius of the project study
area.
The proposed bridge replacement is a Case 2 demolition project as described by the
NCDOT BMP-BDR. The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) states
that anadromous species are found in this portion of Indiantown Creek, including alewife
and blueback herring. A significant fishery for sunfish also exists at this site. NCDOT will
follow all stream crossing guidelines for anadromous fish passage, including moratoriums
on in-water work between February 15 and June 30.
Permanent impacts to Waters of the U. S. include 115 square feet (0.003 acre) of fill in
wetlands from the approach roadways being widened to conform to current design standards.
Existing wood pilings will either be pulled out of the channel or cut flush with the substrate.
Construction equipment will be operated from the existing road surface and/or upland areas and
will not enter wetland areas. Measures will be taken to ensure that sediment releases from this
activity will be contained to the immediate location of the pile removal operation. Jurisdictional
wetlands are located immediately adjacent to the existing bridge (Figure 3).
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has identified one Endangered (E)
species (red-cockaded woodpecker), one Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance [T(S/A)]
species (American alligator), and one Federal Species of Concern (FSC) as occurring in Camden
County. In addition, the USFWS has identified three Endangered species (leatherback sea turtle,
red-cockaded woodpecker, and West Indian manatee), three Threatened species (loggerhead sea
turtle, piping plover, and seabeach amaranth), one Threatened (proposed for de-listing) (bald
eagle), and three FSC as occurring in Currituck County. Suitable habitat for these listed species
does not exist in the project study area. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that project
construction will have No Effect on these protected species.
We are requesting that the proposed work be authorized under a CAMA General Permit.
By copy of this letter we are also requesting issuance of a US Army Corps of Engineers
Nationwide Permit 3. We also anticipate a 401 General Certification number 3371 will apply to
this project; in compliance with Condition 1 of this certification we request written concurrence
from the NC Division of Water Quality.
