Subject: Buffer Authorization Requesi, for the demolition and reconstruction of Bridge No. ]42, SR.
1315 over Unnamed Tributan~ to Little Fishing Crcck, Halifax Count.'. TIP No. B-4540
Dear Sirs:
Please find enclosed the Pre-Construction Notification for the above referenced project. The
existing bridge (~l-feet long) will be replaced with a new bridge of approximately l13 feet in
length on the existing alignment. Traffic will use an offsite detour during construction. There are
impacts to the buffers of 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. Little Fishing Creek is located in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin and is classified b_v
the Division of Water Quality at this bridge as C, NSW 28-79-25.
The bridge will be removed by sa~~ ing the deck and lifting it out in sections. VVe will excavate behind the
end bents and fold them back. then remove them without dropping am' components into the creek. Timber
piles from the existing bridge Zvi]] be cut off'at the mud line of the strum usuig a ]t~draulic shear er other
means that da;s not require construction equipment to get into the water. Best Management Practices for
the Protection of Surface Waters and for Bridge Demolition and Removal ~~~ip be strictl~~ adhered to
during the removal of the existing bridge.

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 41 feet to 113 feet to span a lar>~erportion of the floodplain. A number of timber
piles will be removed from Little Fishing Creek with none being replaced in the stream resultin>;
in a net decrease in permanent stream impacts Strict enforcement of Best >\lana>;ement Practices
for sedimentation and erosion control and bridge demolition will be enforced during
construction No weep holes will be allowed in the bride 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. Offsite detours will be used to avoid
temporary fill from an onsite detour.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with l5A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of ~~l'ater 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 January I5, 2002, 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. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing i}le 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 preser`~ing 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 NCEEP 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
'~ !rn ,1 :., rr.~-ctciF p^ `te ~~4.et'r-~,'~'ct, '.`c. i•,tT,il
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 mitigation is proposed. Buffer impacts less than 1/3 acre for bridges are an allowed
use per buffer rules.

A. Project Description:
The purpose of this project is to replace Halifax County Bridge No. 142 on
SR 1315 over Little Fishing Creek. The existing structure has a total length of 41
feet. The replacement structure will be a bridge approximately 80 feet long
providing a minimum 28 feet clear deck width. The bridge will include two 11-
foot lanes and 3-foot offsets. The roadway grade of the new structure will be
approximately the same as the existing structure.
The approach roadway will extend approximately 360 feet from the west end of
the new bridge and 320 feet from the east end of the new bridge. The approaches
wiil be widened to include a 22-foot pavement width providing two 11-foot lanes.
Six-foot grass shoulders will be provided on each side (9-foot shoulders where
guardrail is included). The roadway will be designed as a Rural Local Route with
a 60 mile per hour design speed.
Traffic will be detoured off-site during construction (see Figure 1).
B. Purpose and Need:
NCDOT Bridge Maintenance Unit records indicate Bridge No. 142 has a
sufficiency rating of 29 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The bridge is
considered structurally deficient due to substructure condition of 4 out of 9
according to Federal Highway Administration (F7FIWA) standards and therefore
eligible for FHWA's Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program.
Bridge No. 142 has aforty-four year old timber sub-structure with a typical life
expectancy between 40 to 50 years due to the natural deterioration rate of wood.
Prompt action was taken to temporarily repair end bent 2 that had decayed
completely through and broken, and five foot of scour around and in front of
bulkhead of end bent 2. The repair is considered temporary and replacement is
still warranted.
if
Rehabilitation of a timber structure is generally practical only when a few
members are damaged or prematurely deteriorated. However, past a certain
degree of deterioration, timber structures become impractical to maintain and
upon eligibility are programmed for replacement. Bridge No. 142 is approaching
the end of its useful life.

C. Proposed Improvements:
Circle one or more of the following Type II improvements which apply to the
project:
1. Modernization of a highway by resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation,
reconstruction, adding shoulders, or adding auxiliary lanes (e.g., parking,

2

6. Approvals for disposal of excess right-of--way or for joint or limited use of
right-of-way, where the proposed use does not have significant adverse
impacts.
7. Approvals for changes in access control.
8. Construction of new bus storage and maintenance facilities in areas used
predominantly for industrial or transportation purposes where such
construction is not inconsistent with existing zoning and located on or near
a street with adequate capacity to handle anticipated bus and support
vehicle traffic.
9. Rehabilitation or reconstruction of existing rail and bus buildings and
ancillazy facilities where only minor amounts of additional land are
required and there is not a substantial increase in the number of users.
10. Construction of bus transfer facilities (an open azea consisting of
passenger shelters, boarding azeas, kiosks and related street
improvements) when located in a commercial azea or other high activity
center in which there is adequate street capacity for projected bus traffic.
11. Construction of rail storage and maintenance facilities in azeas used
predominantly for industrial or transportation purposes where such
construction is not inconsistent with existing zoning and where there is no
significant noise impact on the surrounding community.
12. Acquisition of land for hardship or protective purposes, advance land
acquisition loans under section 3(b) of the LJMT Act. Hardship and
protective buying will be permitted only for a particular parcel or a limited
number of pazcels. These types of land acquisition qualify for a CE only
where the acquisition will not limit the evaluation of alternatives,
including shifts in alignment for planned construction projects, which may
be required in the NEPA process. No project development on such land
may proceed until the NEPA process has been completed.
13. Acquisition and construction of wetland, stream and endangered species
mitigation sites.
14. Remedial activities involving the removal, treatment or monitoring of soil
or groundwater contamination pursuant to state or federal remediation
guidelines.

D. Special Project Information:
Estimated Costs:
Total Construction : ; :. .. . $ 700,000
1Z~ht of Wav $ 36.000
Total $ 736,000
Estimated Traffic:
Current - 300 vpd
Year 2030 - 600 vpd
TTST - 1%
Dual - 2%
Accidents: Traffic Engineering has evaluated a recent three year period and
found two accidents occurring in the vicinity of the project. None were associated
with the geometry of the bridge or its approach roadways.
Design Exceptions: There are no anticipated design exceptions for this project.
Bridge Demolition: Bridge No. 142 is constructed entirely of timber and steel
and should be possible to remove with no resulting debris based on standard
demolition practices.
Alternatives Discussion:
No Build - No build would result in eventually closing the road which is
unacceptable given the volume of traffic served by SR 1315.
Rehabilitation -The bridge was constructed in 1962 and the timber
materials within the bridge are reaching the end of their useful life.
Rehabilitation would require replacing the timber components which
would constitute effectively replacing the bridge.
Offsite Detour -Bridge No. 142 will be replaced on the existing
alignment. Traffic will be detoured offsite (see Figure 1) during the
construction period. NCDOT Guidelines for Evaluation of Offsite
Detours for Bridge Replacement Projects consi rs multiple project
variables beginning with the additional time traded by the average road
user resulting from the offsite detour. The offsite detour for this project
would include SR 1317, and NC 4. The detour for the average road user
would result in 5.0 minutes additional travel time (4.1 miles additional
travel). Up to a seven-month duration of construction is expected on this
project. Based on the guidelines, the delay is acceptable. Halifax County
Emergency Services has indicated that an offsite detour is acceptable and
that services can be adequately re-routed during construction.

The condition of all roads and bridges on the offsite detour are acceptable
without improvement. Halifax County School Transportation has
indicated that rerouting buses around this project will not be a problem.
In view of the lower impacts to environment and property, project cost
savings and no major opposition, an offsite detour is recommended.
NCDOT Division 4 concurs in these recommendations.
Onsite Detour - An onsite detour was not evaluated due to the presence
of an acceptable offsite detour. _
New Alignment -Given that the alignment for SR 1315 is acceptable, a
new alignment was not considered as an alternative.
Other Agency Comments:
The N.C. Wildlife Resource Commission and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in
standardized letters provided a request that they prefer any replacement structure
to be a spanning structure and for NCDOT to conduct a mussel surrey.
Response: NCDOT has conducted a mussel survey and will abide by the request
for the replacement structure to be bridge.
The N.C. Division of Water Quality, the Army Corps of Engineers, and N.C.
Marine Fisheries had no special concerns for this project.
Public Involvement:
A letter was sent by the Location & Surveys Unit to all property owners affected
directly by this project. Property owners were invited to comment. No comments
have been received to date.

Subject Design Changes for two Bridge Replacement Projects: Bridge No. 142 on SR 1315 over Tributa.-y
of Little Fishing Creek in Halifax County (ITP # B-4540, Federal Aid No. BRZ-1315~i~, WBS
No. 33755.1.1, ER-04-1281), and Bridge No. 69 ovC West Bear Creek on SR 1501 in Lenoir
County (I~' # 8567, Federal Aid No BRZ-1501(6), WBS No. 33755.1.1, ER-04-1299).
New design information regarding two bridge replacement projects (ITP #'s B-4540 [ER 04-1281], and B-
4567 [ER 04-1299]) has become available. Previously, multiple alternatives had been proposed for each
project, including the use temporary on-site detours, and/or relocation oa an adjacent location. Based on
these older proposed designs and environmental conditions favorable for past habitation, your office
recommended intensive archaeological surveys to identify and evaluate archaeological resources that may be
eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places in separate letters both dated August 12, 2004.
These are Federal-Aid projects, subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act and the guidelines issued by the Advisory Counal on Historic Preservation. -
Cuaendy, the only alternatives being considered for both bridge replacement projects are replace-in-oiace
designs on the emsting footprint of the bridges. Detailed, cuamt design plans and aerials have been
produced and studied Ground disturbance would be minimal and the Area of Potential Effects would not
expand beyond the azea that has been disturbed previously during bridge construction. It is unlikeiv that
these small-scale, replace-its-place projects would affect any significant archaeological sites eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places.
After reviewing the latest proposed plans, which involve only replace-in-place construction using offsite
detours, we believe that no archaeological survey is warranted for these projects. Please find the most recent
mapping for these projects for pour review and consideration.
Z'nank you for your assistance and cooperation with these projects. If you have any questions, contact Bra.,
Overton at [phone].
