SUBJECT: MODIFICATION REQUZST TO CAMA PERMIT #70-92
DATE: MARCH 21, 1994
LAMA permit 070-92 was issued to NC DOT authorizing the
construction of Bridge 105 over Colington Creek in Dare County.
Recently, during construction of this bridge, NC DoT discovered
that the placement of concrete sheet piles to construct the bridge
abutment retainer walls was causing displaced sediment to fill
Colington Creek. NC DCM immediately stopped the placement of these
concrete sheet piles and met onsite with NC DOT engineers- NC DOT
realized the problems associated with the placement of these piles.
They have decided to abandon the placement of these piles and
instead to stabilize the bridge abutments with rock rip rap. To
this and, NC DOT is requesting a modification of their LAMA permit
to allow the placement of rock rip rap around the bridge abutments
for Bridge #5. The placement of rock rip rap will impact an
additional 600 square feet of coastal wetlands which were not
originally proposed nor permitted to be impacted- NC DOT proposca
to mitigate for the loss of these wetlands during the soon-to-be-
filed CAMA permit application for the widening of Colington Road.
Please review the attached letter and plats and submit your
comments to John Parker on or before April 5, 1994. Should you
have comments regarding this matter, feel free to contact me.

SUBJECT: Dare CO., Replacement of Bridges 5, SR 1217, TIP
No. B-2024, State Project No. 8.1050301.
Please reference the March 1 letter from Mr. David
Griffin to this office. Mr. Griffin stated that sheet pile
installation activities associated with the construction of
bridge 5 over Colington Creek have resulted in unacceptable
discharge into State waters. It was further stated that
NCDOT has been requested to suspend the placement of sheet
piling until NCDOT can address this situation.
NCDOT personnel have met with DCM representatives to
discuss options that would prevent the discharge of displaced
material into Colington Creek. As a result of this
coordination, NCDOT has decided to discontinue driving
concrete sheet piles on this project, and use another method
to stabilize the faces of the bridge abutments. NCDOT now
proposes to use class IT rip_rap_Jo "stabilize these faces.
The rip-.rap will extend from the face iabric'wail to'ground
elevation. The rip-rap will be placed on a 11:1 slope, which
is the steepest possible elope for this type of material.
Sheet 1 of 2 (enclosed) shows the concrete bulk originally
proposed, while sheet 2 of 2 depicts typical cross-sections
showing the extent of new impact associated with the
currently proposed rip-rap.
The placement of this rip rap will lead to an additional
impact into coastal wetlands of approximately 600 square
feet. For the purposes of mitigation, NCDOT proposes to
include this impact with those associated with the future

widening of SR 1217. Permit and mitigation coordination for
this widening should begin within the next two to three
months.
With this information in mind, MCDOT requests that LAMA
permit 70-92, issued on December 15, 1992, be modified to
allow for the authorization of the activities described
above. Please contact Mr. Doug Huggett [phone] if we
may provide any additional, information.

NC DOT - SR 1217 Colington Road
Bio Report

Site Description -
The NC Department of 'T'ransportation is proposing to widen and resurface 2.5 miles of
SR 1217 (Colington Road). The project excludes the area adjacent the two bridges currently
being constructed over Colington Cut and Colington Creek. These two bridges were
authorized by CAMA Permits #170-92 and #71-92 issued July 29, 1992. The roadway will be
widened an additional 2-3' to a total width of 22 feet. No widening is proposed within
wetlands, although the need to replace and lengthen existing drainage pipes at three locations
will result in the filling of a small area of shallow water habitat and an even smaller area of
wetlands. The placing of fill within wetlands and within shallow water at the ends of the
three pipes is proposed in order to prevent further erosion of the roadway shoulder.
All work is proposed within NC T)0'1''s existing right-of-way except for the installation
of a 175' long 18" diameter reinforced concrete pipe designed to eliminate an existing
drainage problem near the entrance gate of the Colington Harbor Subdivision. The pipe
would connect to a drop inlet located a few feet off the pavement, pass through an existing
bulkhead and empty stormwater into an existing manmade canal off Kitty Hawk Bay. The
waters of which are classified as SC by North Carolina's Division of Environmental
Management.
At the easternmost drainage pipe replacement site (station 92+00) is a 2-3' wide fringe
of coastal wetlands vegetated with a mixture of sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense), cattail
(Typha spp), and bulrush (Scirpus ??p..). At the opposite end of the pipe are two patches of
cattail approximately 6' in width. Approximately 160 sq. ft. of these wetlands would be
filled as part of this proposed pipe replacement.
At the second pipe replacement site (station 115+00) the south end of the existing pipe
is surrounded with a 2-3' wide fringe of salt reed grass (Spartina cvnosuroides), bulrush
(Scirpus app.) and saltmeado\v grass (Spartina patens). Approximately 42 sq. ft. of wetlands
currently existing at this replacement site are proposed to be filled.
At the third pipe replacement site (near station 149+00) approximately 40 sq. ft. of
wetlands supporting cattails located at each end of the existing pipe would be filled as a
result of the proposed replacement.
Anticipated Impacts
The placing of an additional strip of asphalt 2-3' in width along the 2.5 mile long
project will result in the disturbance; filling of 33,000 sq. ft. of upland area. At some
locations all of the proposed 22' surfaced area will lie within the 75' wide Estuarine
Shoreline Area of Environmental Concern with a resultant lot coverage by impervious
surfaces of 29.3%. At the three pipe replacement locations, fill placed at the ends of the

replacement pipes will impact 242 sq. ft. of wetlands and 712 sq. ft. of shallow water
habitat.
In addition to the 954 sq. ft. of impact which is being proposed for this project, 600
sq. ft. of waters/wetlands were impacted at the Colington Cut Bridge site, where concrete
sheet piles were replaced with riprap in order to reduce turbidity. As part of this
modification to CAMA Permit #f70-92, NC DOT agreed to include mitigation for this 600 sq.
ft. of loss with the mitigation for impacts associated with the widening of SR 1217. In order
to mitigate for both projects, NC DOT proposes to deduct 0.071 acres (1554 sq. ft. at 2:1
ratio) from the marsh creation site at Colington Cut. After debiting this 0.071 acres NC
DOT proposes to utilize the 0.169 acres of undebited mitigation site for future highway
projects in the area. No cultural resources have been identified in the area.
CAMA Review
A review and consistency determination with the Dare County Land Use Plan will be
completed by Steve Gabriel and forwarded under separate cover.

Please reference NCDOT's July 15, 1994 permit application
for the above refersnced project. An impact calculation error
has been discovered on the second page of the cover letter. in
the second full paragraph, it was stated that the Department
would debit 0.022 acres from a mitigation area near the
Co.lington Creek bridge. This debit value is incorrect.
Thetetore, please change 0.022 to 0,044. This revised
calculation will aloo change the total

SECRFTARV
SUBJECT: Dare County, Proposed Widening and Resurfacing of
SR 1217 (Colington Road), TIP No. R-3110, State
Project No. 9.8014815.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes
to widen and resurface SR 1217 (Colington Road) fromthe SR
1217/NC 12 intersection to the western end of the roadway. The
roadway will be widened to a width of 22 feet. Resurfacing
will take place along the entire 1'ength of the roadway except
in the areas adjacent to the bridges being constructed over
Colington Cut and Colington Creek. The widening and
resurfacing of the roadway adjacent to-these two bridges has
previously been authorized by CAMA Permit 70-92. Traffic will
be maintained on existing roads during construction.
No roadway widening will take place in wetlands, although
the need to replace and lengthen three drainage pipes will
result in a small amount of impact to wetlands (0.005 acres)
and Waters of the U.S. (0.016 acres). The need to prevent
further undercutting of the roadway shoulder necessitates the
placement of fill at these pipe replacement locations.
All work will take place within. existing NCDOT right of
way, with one exception. The Department has obtained a
drainage easement to construct a 18" reinforced concrete pipe
at station 159+00. This pipe will connect to a drop inlet
adjacent to the roadway shoulder, extend for 175 feet and pass
through an existing bulkhead (see sheet 55 of 61). An easement
has been obtained from two property owners (Randy M. Saunders
and William D. Head) authorizing this action. A copy of the
easement has been requested from NCDOT's Division 1

construction office, and will shortly be provided to your
office.
NCDOT proposes to utilize a portion of a marsh creation
site near the bridge over Colington Creek to mitigate for the
954 square feet of wetland and waters impacts associated with
this project. This marsh creation area is a portion of a
mitigation site created to offset losses associated with the
construction of the Colington Cut and Colington Creek bridges.
The mitigation site was originally to be only 0.04 acres in
size. However, it has since been determined that a larger
portion of an old canal would be available for mitigation
purposes than was originally estimated. An additional 0.24
acres (see enclosed mitigation figure) has been planted with
Juncus grass. The Department therefore proposes to debit 1908
square feet (0.022 acres), which represents the 954 square feet
impact and a 2:1 mitigation ratio, from this mitigation area.
In addition to the 954 square feet of impacts associated
with the widening and resurfacing of SR 1217, 600 square feet
of waters and wetlands were recently impacted at the Colington
Cut bridge. This additional impact was necessitated due to the
need to utilize rip rap instead of concrete sheet piles to
reduce turbidity. In a March 11, 1994 request for a
modification to CAMA permit 70-92, NCDOT agreed to include this
600 square foot impact with the impacts associated with the SR
1217 widening for mitigation purposes.
The Department therefore proposes to debit an additional
1200 square feet (0.027 acres), which represents the 600 square
feet impact and a 2:1 mitigation ratio, from the mitigation
area. The total proposed debit from this mitigation area
equals 0.049 acres. The Department further proposes to utilize
the un-debited portion of the mitigation site (0.191 acres) for
mitigation for future highway projects in the area.
NCDOT is requesting that the proposed work be authorized
under the appropriate Coastal Area Management Act-(CAMA)
permit. By copy of this application, NCDOT requests issuance
of the appropriate Section 404 permit from the Army Corps of
Engineers. A 401 Water Quality Certification from the N.C.
Division of Environmental Management will be required.
Division of Environmental Management will begin review of this
project during the CAMA public notice process.
Included for your information are a permit application
package, set of permit drawings (61 pages), adjacent property
owner list (3 pages), adjacent property owner notification
receipts and one drawing showing the proposed mitigation area.
A processing fee of $250 will be forwarded to your office
within the next week. A clearer copy of the mitigation site
drawing will be provided to your office shortly. If we. may be
of further assistance, or if you require any additional
information, please contact Mr. Doug Huggett of NCDOT's
Environmental Unit at (919,) 733-3141.

SUMMARY
The Colington Creek and Cut Mitigation Sites are located in Dare County.
Originally planted in 1995, both sites were designed as mitigation for marsh
wetland impacts associated with bridge project B-2024. The Colington Creek
site, having been deemed a success, was closed in 1999. Monitoring of the
Colington Cut site is presented in this report.
After four years of monitoring, the Colington Cut site shows 50% areal coverage
with 50% survival of the planted species. Treatment of the phragmites on the
ends of the site has worked exceptionally well, though an additional treatment
may be required for the eastern end.
NCDOT recommends further monitoring of the site in order to ensure plant
survival

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
The Colington Cut and Creek Mitigation sites are located at Bridges No. 5 and 6
along SR 1217 in Dare County (Figure 1). The sites consist of approximately
1.27 acres of mitigation for marsh wetland impacts associated with project B-
2024.
1.2 Purpose
In order for a mitigation site to be considered successful, a site must meet
success criteria in both hydrology and vegetation. This report details the
vegetation monitoring in 1999 at the Colington Cut Mitigation Site. The Colington
Creek site was previously closed out on October 15, 1999, having met vegetation
success. Hydrologic monitoring was not required for either site.

Notes from Report. Site was planted with Juncus roemerianus in July 1995. The
offsite marsh areas were accepted last year. The on site area at Colington Cut
was mowed in April 1999 and treated in June 1999 for phragmites. The western
side of the site had less than 1% phragmites at `ime of monitoring. The
phragmites at the eastern end was stressed due to treatment. Most of the
planted area has become established with mixed Juncus roemerianus and
Scirpus.
2.4 Conclusions
There were approximately 1.27 acres of marsh planted both on site and off site.
There were no plots established on either site. By visual observation the
Colington Cut Site is averaging around 50% areal coverage of Black Needlerush
and Scirpus. The phragmites treatment in June 1999 has worked exceptionally
well on the western end of the site. While the phragmites on the eastern end
appeared stressed, it may require an additional treatment. By visual observation,

Project No. 8.20 0301; COE Action ID No. 199103381.
Dear Mr. Huggett,
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NC DOT) has monitored ;the
referenced mitigation site since 1995. No hydrologic monitoring was required'on this
site. Vegetation monitoring has been conducted for.three growing seasons.
The sites are located at Bridges No. 5 and No. 6 along SR 1217 in Dare County.
They consist of approximately 1.27 acres of marsh total and include the following
communities:
Brackish Marsh on-site (creating approx. 0.50 ac)
Brackish Marsh off-site (creating approx. 0.63 ac)
Brackish Marsh off-site (restoring approx. 0.14 ac)
The sites were planted in July 1995. No plots were established. Sites 1- and 2
known as Colington Cut and Site 3 known as Colington Creek were both planted with
Juncus roemerianus. Site 3 was also planted with Spartina altemiflora and Scirpus.
Vegetation monitoring began in August 1995. The success criteria established requres
a 50% survival rate of planted species and 50% aerial coverage for at least three
consecutive years.
At the time the 1996 Annual Report (1St year of monitoring) was prepared, the
vegetation results were as follows:
Site % Coverage
1 85%
2 85%
3 95%
Average 88.3%
Sites 1 and 2 had heavy infestation of Phragmites; however, Juncus was still present.
Site 3 had been established and was blending in well with the adjacent marsh. It had a
cover of aprroximately 80% Spartina, 15% Scirpus, and 5% Juncus. By visual
observation, it had been determined that approximately 75% of the planted species had
survived, covering approximately 88% of the sites.
As of the 1997 Annual Report (2"d year), the vegetation results were as follows:
Site % Coverage
1 20%
2 20%
3 100.0%
Average 46.7%
Sites 1 and 2 continued to be infested with Phragmites, but a small area of Juncus still
remained at the site. Proposed remedial action by NCDOT included plans to treat the
Phragmites infestation of sites 1 and 2 with an appropriate herbicide application in 1998.
Site 3 had a cover of approximately 90% Spartina, 5% Scirpus, and 5% Juncus. It
continued to blend in well with the adjacent marsh. By visual observation, the sites
averaged approximately 47% cover with a continued 75% survival of the species
planted.
During the third year of vegetation monitoring in 1998, the vegetation results
were as follows:
Site Juncus Scirpus Spartina % Coverage (3
roemerianus alterniflora years)
Colinton Cut 1% NA NA 1%
(Sites 1&2)
Colington 20% 5% 75% 100%
Creek (Site 3)
By visual observation, the planted area at Colington Cut was averaging 1 % aerial
coverage of Juncus which was growing around the fringes of the site. This low
percentage rate was due to the continued heavy competition of Phragmites and is
below the required success criteria. In response to this problem the infested areas were
mowed and teated with herbicide to help control the Phragmites. The planted area at
Colington Creek, however has done exceptionally well. The entire planted area has
become established predominately with Spartina alterniflora mixed with Juncus
roemerianus and Scirpus. As of the 1998 Annual Report, by visual observation this site
had an aerial coverage of 100% with a 75% survival rate. Over the three year
monitoring period Colington Creek has maintained an area coverage and survival rate
of plants well above the minimum criteria.
Due to remaining Phragmites infestation, Colington Cut will continue to be
monitored. A plan to resolve this problem is forthcoming. It was concluded in the 1998
Annual Monitoring Report that Colington Creek has met the vegetation criteria. At this
time, NCDOT would recommend discontinuing monitoring of the Colington Creek
mitigation site. If you should have any questions about what has been presented,
please call Shannon Simpson, Natural Systems Specialist, at 733-7844 ext. 330. Thank
you for your continued support and cooperation.

Another point that was discussed during this meeting
involved areas that NCDOT had identified as aquatic bed, or
submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), habitat. One site at
Bridge 5 and one site at Bridge 6 were originally identified
as containing submerged aquatic vegetation. DCM personnel
stated that they did not believe that these areas contained
aquatic vegetation. A field visit by DOT staff revealed that
the 0.02 acre site at Bridge 5 did not contain aquatic
vegetation, and therefore will not require SAV mitigation.
However, the canal at Bridge 6 did contain a healthy
submerged aquatic vegetation community. 0.27 acres of SAV
habitat will be impacted by the filling of this canal.
Based on recent discussions with various environmental
agencies on the topic of SAV mitigation, NCDOT does not feel
that we can offer an acceptable mitigation plan that would
allow for in-kind replacement of SAV habitat. The Department
also feels that SAV impacts have been avoided and minimized
to the maximum extent practicable, while still allowing for
the construction of a safe roadway. We will therefore
propose to mitigate the 0.27 acres of SAV loss by
coordinating with the NC Division of Marine Fisheries to
provide for the creation and enhancement of shellfish bed
habitat. It is proposed that 0.54 acres of shellfish bed
habitat will be created to mitigate for the loss of 0.27
acres of SAV habitat.
To mitigate for brackish marsh/wetland scrub associated
with both bridges, NCDOT originally proposed creating on-
site, in-kind, 0.50 acres of brackish marsh, restoring 0.14
acres of marsh that had been used as a trash dump at the
southeast corner of Colington Unity Methodist Church, and
by creating 0.75 acres of marsh habitat at an upland site
0.94 miles from the SR 1217/SR 1219 intersection. After
consulting with DCM personnel, it was decided to delete from
our mitigation proposal the restoration of the 0.14 acre site
at the Colington Unity Methodist Church. This acreage was
added to the 0.75 acre site. Further review lead to the
realization that some wetlands impacts had not been accounted
for in our original permit application, and these sites were
consequently added to our mitigation plan. The final total
acreage value for our proposed off-site mitigation area was
1.31 acres.
There was strong environmental agency opposition to our
proposal to use the 1.31 acre maritime forest site to create
brackish marsh habitat. Based on this opposition, DOT was
asked by DCM to abandon our plans for using this site as
mitigation. The Department was asked to investigate grading
down a line of dredge spoil islands which are adjacent to the
canal running south of Bridge 5 (see enclosed photograph).
After consultation with NCDOT engineers as to the feasibility
of gaining access and grading down these islands, we were
informed that the Department does not possess the necessary
equipment required to do the work. Several contractors were

Attention: Mr. John Parker
SUBJECT: Dare Co., Replacement of Bridges 5 and 6, SR
1217, TIP No. B-2024, State Project No.
8.1050301.
On January 30, 1992, a meeting was held between North
Carolina Department of Transportation and North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management personnel. During this
meeting, environmental problems associated with NCDOT's
permit applications for the above referenced projects were
discussed.
In an effort to reduce project related wetland impacts,
NCDOT agreed to revise the design plans for the two bridges.
A redesign of the SR 1217-SR 1219 intersection has reduced
impacts to the Juncus marsh by 0.10 acres (0.85 acres
brackish marsh vs 0.95 acres brackish marsh impact). This is
the maximum impact reduction possible while still ensuring a
safe intersection design. The new intersection is depicted
on pages 2 of 9 and 3 of 9 in the enclosed revised permit
drawings.
NCDOT also agreed to reevaluate the need for excavating
a new canal to replace the canal which will be filled
adjacent to the roadway at Bridge 6. The Department now
proposes to delete the excavation of the new canal. This
will result in a savings of 0.3 acres of Juncus marsh.
Additionally, we were asked to investigate wither or not it
would be possible to create Juncus habitat in any area of the
canal that would not be filled. We did find that we could
create 0.04 acres of Juncus marsh on the west end of the
Bridge 6 canal (see enclosed permit drawing 2 of 12). This
creation of 0.04 acres is now added to our mitigation
propos it .
An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer
J&
contacted and asked to provide feasibility and cost estimates
for this mitigation effort. We received estimates from 2
contractors. Crofton Diving estimated that the work could be
done for $176,000, and Total Marine Services, Inc. estimated
it would cost from $90,00 to $110,00 to perform the necessary
work. These costs were both deemed to be cost prohibitive
for restoring approximately 1 acre of marsh habitat.
Extensive searches in the vicinity of the project have
not yielded any new mitigation options. NCDOT has requested
help from the Division of Coastal Management in locating
suitable mitigation sites for this project. DCM personnel
have been unable to provide any further mitigation options.
Most undeveloped lands in the area which could be used for
mitigation posses prohibitive price tags, and the sensitive
environmental nature of many of these lands often preclude
utilizing these sites for wetlands creation.
The revised designs for these projects will lead to a
loss of 1.47 acres of brackish marsh/wetland scrub habitat.
To mitigate for this loss, it is proposed to create 0.54
acres of brackish marsh habitat on-site. We feel that all
reasonable on- or near-site mitigation options have been
exhausted. It is therefore proposed that the remaining 0.93
acres of impacted wetlands be mitigated for by debiting this
acreage from the NCDOT Company Swamp Mitigation Bank using a
2:1 mitigation ratio.
Please find included for your information and review a
set of revised permit drawings and a revised mitigation plan
for each of these projects. Also included please find a
photo of the dredge spoil islands NCDOT investigate as a
potential mitigation site. Please contact Mr. Doug Huggett

WETLAND MITIGATION PLAN
NCDOT Project B-2024, Dare County
Replacement of Bridge 5 over
Colington Cut, SR 1217
June 1, 1992
1. Type of wetlands impacted: Brackish Marsh, Wetland Scrub.
2. Acreage of area impacted: 0.85 acres of brackish marsh, 0.32
acres of wetland scrub.
3. Type of mitigation: Creating on-site, in-kind, 0.54 acres of
brackish marsh. Debiting remaining 0.63 acres from NCDOT
Company Swamp Mitigation Bank, using a 2:1 mitigation ratio.
4. Erosion control of disturbed soils in the area will be
mitigated by strict adherence to NCDOT standard erosion
control measures during the construction phase of the project.
5. The existing bridge will be completely removed. Any
demolition rubble created by the destruction of this structure
will not be deposited in wetlands. Planned replacement of the
bridge will be accomplished from portable temporary working
platforms placed on temporary piles which will negate the use
of barges during construction which would require waterway
deepening by hydraulic dredging.
6. Bridge No. 5 impacts 1.17 acres of wetlands by encroachment
into areas of marsh and wetland scrub habitats.
The replacement of 0.50 acres of brackish marsh habitat at
Bridge No. 5 will be accomplished in-kind and on-site (see
permit drawings 2 of 9, 3 of 9 and 4 of 9). It is proposed
to debit the remaining 0.35 acres of brackish marsh and 0.32
acres of wetland scrub impacted by construction of this bridge
from the NCDOT Company Swamp Mitigation Bank, using a 2:1
mitigation ratio (1.74 acres total)
7. No mitigation of temporary encroachment into sand bottom areas
by pile driving activities is proposed, other than reasonable
care to minimize disturbance of bottom sediments, and
restriction of pile driving to that area required for
construction.
8. Planting for brackish marsh mitigation will consist of
WETLAND MITIGATION PLAN
REPLACEMENT OF BRIDGE 5 OVER COLINGI'ON CUT
sprigging with black needlerush (Juncus roemerianus) on two
foot centers over the mitigation areas. Plants will be from
nursery stock with some natural revegetation expected to
occur. Planting will be carried out between the dates of
March 15 and June 15.
9. Fertilization will be in accordance with the project erosion
control plan.
10. Mitigation areas of marsh creation will be graded to an
approximate elevation of between one and two feet above mean
sea level. The final elevation of the mitigation sites will
correspond to the elevation in the adjacent marsh. The slope
used will be equal to or greater than one-half percent.
11. Field measurements and data collection regarding mitigation
success will be carried out by the Roadside Environmental Unit
of NCDOT. These data will be transmitted to the Planning and
Environmental Branch, and after analysis and consultation, the
Planning and Environmental Branch will take the necessary
action to further coordinate the results with the Division of
Coastal Management, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and
other appropriate review agencies. If analysis shows that
mitigation success criteria are not being met, corrective
actions will ensue from these coordination activities.
Field evaluations and subsequent coordination will take place
in accordance with the time intervals specified in this
monitoring plan.
Monitoring will be conducted over a two year period by NCDOT's
Roadside Environmental Unit. The mitigation sites will be
inspected prior to planting (PP), at planting time (AP),
within 1 month after planting (1 MO), 1 year following
planting (1 YR) and 2 years following planting (2 YR).
Selected data (listed below) will be collected at specified
times. During the monitoring interval, remedial action will
be considered if needed.

NCDOT will consider the above plan acceptable if planted
species survive at an estimated rate of 50% after two years
and the planted stand provides at least 50% areal coverage of
salt marsh species. (Monitoring data will be available for
all interested agency's review.) In the event that these two
conditions are not met and environmental restoration is not
considered successful, consultation will be held between the
staffs of NCDOT's Planning & Environmental Branch and Roadside
Environmental Unit, the Division of Coastal Management, the
Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District, and federal review
agencies. Participation by other review agencies will be
coordinated by the Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District.
Monitoring criteria will be evaluated and necessary recourse
actions will be considered.

2. Acreage of area impacted: 0.30 acres of brackish marsh and
0.27 acres of aquatic bed habitat will be impacted by bridge
construction activities.
3. Type of mitigation: Creating on-site, in-kind, 0.04 acres
of brackish marsh; Debiting remaining 0.26 acres of brackish
marsh loss from NCDOT Company Swamp Mitigation Bank, using a
2:1 mitigation ratio; Creating and enhancing, in coordination
with NC Division of Marine Fisheries, 0.54 acres of shellfish
bed habitat to mitigate for 0.27 acres SAV impact using a 2:1
ratio.
4. Erosion control of disturbed soils in the area will be
adequately mitigated by strict adherence to NCDOT standard
erosion control measures during the construction phase of the
project.
5. The existing bridge will be completely removed. Any
demolition rubble created by the destruction of this structure
will not be deposited in wetlands. Planned replacement of the
bridge will be accomplished from portable temporary working
platforms placed on temporary piles which will negate the use
of barges during construction which would require waterway
deepening by hydraulic dredging.
7. Bridge No. 6 impacts 0.57 acres of wetlands by encroachment
into areas of marsh and SAV habitat.
Mitigation for 0.04 acres of brackish marsh impacted by
construction of this bridge will be accomplished on-site and
in-kind (see sheet 2 of 12). It is proposed that the
remaining 0.26 acres of marsh impact be mitigated by debiting
from the NCDOT Company Swamp Mitigation Bank, using a 2:1
mitigation ratio (0.52 acres total).
To mitigate for SAV habitat impacts, NCDOT proposes to create
WETLAND MITIGATION PLAN
REPLACMENT OF BRIDGE 6 OVER COLINGTON CREEK
and enhance, in coordination with NC Division of Marine
Fisheries, 0.54 acres of shellfish bed habitat to mitigate for
0.27 acres SAV impact using a 2:1 ratio.
8. Planting for marsh mitigation will consist of sprigging with
black needlerush (Juncus roemerianus) on two foot centers over
the mitigation areas. Plants will be from nursery stock with
some natural revegetation expected to occur. Planting will be
carried out between the dates of March 15 and June 15.
9. Fertilization will be in accordance with the project erosion
control plan.
10. Mitigation areas of marsh creation will be graded to an
approximate elevation of between one and two feet above mean
sea level. The final elevation of the mitigation site will
correspond to the elevation in the adjacent marsh of the same
species as those to be transplanted. The slope used will be
equal to or greater than one-half percent.
11. Field measurements and data collection regarding mitigation
success will be carried out by the Roadside Environmental Unit
of NCDOT. These data will be transmitted to the Planning and
Environmental Branch, and after analysis and consultation, the
Planning and Environmental Branch will take the necessary
action to further coordinate the results with the Division of
Coastal Management, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and
other appropriate review agencies. If analysis shows that
mitigation success criteria are not being met, corrective
actions will ensue from these coordination activities.
Field evaluations and subsequent coordination will take place
in accordance with the time intervals specified in this
monitoring plan.
The mitigation sites will be inspected prior to planting (PP),
at planting time (AP), within 1 month after planting (1 MO), 1
year following planting (1 YR) and 2 years following planting
(2 YR). Selected data (listed below) will be collected at
specified times. During the monitoring interval, remedial
action will be considered if needed.

NCDOT will consider the above plan acceptable if planted
species survive at an estimated rate of 50% after two years
and the planted stand provides at least 50% areal coverage of
salt marsh type and aquatic bed species. (Monitoring data
will be available for all interested agency's review.) In the
event that these two conditions are not met and environmental
restoration is not considered successful, consultation will be
held between the staffs of NCDOT's Planning & Environmental
Branch and Roadside Environmental Unit, the Division of
Coastal Management, the Corps of Engineers, Wilmington
District, and federal review agencies. Participation by other
review agencies will be coordinated by the Corps of Engineers,
Wilmington District. Monitoring criteria will be evaluated
and necessary recourse actions will be considered.

SUBJECT: Dare Co., Replacement of Bridges 5 and 6, SR
1217, TIP No. B-2024, State Project No.
8.1050301.
Please reference NCDOT's June 9, 1992 letter, in which
we outlined the steps taken to minimize and mitigate for
wetland impacts associated with the above referenced bridge
replacement projects. In this letter., we outlined the
difficulties encountered in trying to find suitable
mitigation for impacts to 0.93 acres of wetland habitat.
With all practicable on-site and near-site mitigation options
exhausted, NCDOT proposed mitigating for the 0.93 acres by
debiting the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank using a 2:1
mitigation ratio.
After discussion with Division of Coastal Management
(DCM) personnel, it has been concluded that debiting coastal
marsh impacts from Company Swamp Bank is prohibited under
provisions of the banking agreement. NCDOT thereby withdraws
our proposal to debit Company Swamp Bank.
In a final attempt to provide mitigation for the 0.93
acre impact, NCDOT proposes to coordinate with the N.C.
Division of Marine Fisheries to provide for the creation and
enhancement of shellfish bed habitat using a 2:1 ratio (0.93
acres x 2 = 1.86 acres shellfish bed creation). This effort
will be in addition to the shellfish bed enhancement measures
proposed for submerged aquatic vegetation impacts.
This letter, in association with our June 9, 1992
correspondence, represents our final revised permit
An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer
t-
application package. NCDOT thereby requests that processing
of our application resume. When the Department stopped
processing of our application on January 31, 1992,
approximately 25 days were left until the processing deadline
was reached. Therefore, unless we here otherwise, it is
expected that a decision be reached within 25 days of receipt
of this letter. Please contact Mr. Doug Huggett of NCDOT's
Environmental Unit if we may be of any further assistance..

Both sites were planted with Juncus roemerianus in July, 1995. The planted
area at Collington Cut continues be infested with phragmites. Some juncus was
found growing around the outer fringes of site. Due to the phragmites problem
the areas have been mowed and treated with herbicide to help control the
problem. The planted area at Collington Creek, on the other hand, is doing
exceptionally well. The entire planted area has become established
' predominately with Spartina Alterniflora with mixed Juncus Roemerianus and
Scirpus.

1 2.4 Conclusions
There were approximately 1.27 acres of marsh planted on both of these sites.
There were no plots established on either site. By visual observation the
Collington Cut Site is averaging around 1% aerial coverage of Black Needlerush.
This low percentage is due to the heavy competition of phragmites. This is below
the success criteria required. However, the Collington Creek Site has
established very well over the three year period. By visual observation, this site
had an aerial coverage of.100% with 75% survival rate, which is well above the
Minimum 50% area coverage and 50% survival rate.

Re: NCDOT/Resource Agency Partnering Meeting - Monitoring Guidelines
A meeting was held on July 22, 1998 in the NCDOT Photogrammetry Conference
Room in Raleigh to discuss monitoring guidelines for the 1998 Annual Monitoring
--Reports. Please find attached a list of those -in attendance and the meeting agenda.
Following introductions, Charles Bruton described the purpose of the meeting and
opened the floor to David Franklin for any opening comments. David said he looked
forward to resolving any previous discrepancies in the 1997 Annual Monitoring Reports
and discussing ways to better present monitoring results in this year's monitoring reports.
Phil Harris moderated the meeting.
HYDROLOGIC MONITORING
NCDOT and the Corps agreed wetland mitigation sites must meet the guideline
for hydrology (1987 Manual) using consecutive days and not cumulative days of the
locally designated growing season. Wetland hydrology criteria in the 1987 Manual notes
that a site must be seasonally inundated or saturated (within 12 inches of the surface)
greater than 12.5 percent of the local growing season. NCDOT will re-evaluate the 1997
monitoring data to reflect consecutive days rather than cumulative days of the growing
season.
Regarding monitoring well data, David wants to see compliance is met and that
the sites are working. Phil noted that NCDOT is taking a close look at recurring
problems associated with monitoring well installation and maintenance. In cases where
hydrology was failing for a particular site, NCDOT would be unable to remediate the site
until the following year due to seasonal constraints and the necessity to collect specific
hydrographic information. In discussing what was considered to be hydrologic success,

David Franklin said the 1987 Manual was the official guideline. However, he went on to
suggest that the Corps would be interested to see a more detailed breakdown of the well
data and would not be opposed to hydrologic success based on a longer monitoring
period with less than a 12.5 % success criteria. He also mentioned well data that falls
below the 12 inch threshold may also be examined as a special case. Mike Bell suggested
site remediation should occur now rather than waiting until December. NCDOT, in
coordination with the Corps, will identify unsuccessful sites and work together to
determine how the site is failing and the best remediation techniques to implement.
VEGETATION MONITORING ISSUES

n

Due to NCDOT's demand for hardwood seedlings there is a shortage of seedlings
this year and there was none available for remediation efforts. There is a minimum one
year lead time for ordering seedlings. In a situation on a site where the well data is good
but the vegetation is not successful the Corps stated they would review it on a site by site
basis. In cases of remediation, Charles said it was almost impossible to grade and plant a
site before the winter deadline.
Randy Wise requested an extension of the August/September time period to
obtain the vegetation monitoring data for the sites. After discussing this issue, it was
agreed that the marsh sites would be evaluated in August and the hardwood sites could be
evaluated as late as October and November before leaf drop. The NCDOT will send a
"blanket" letter to the Corps to modify all permits to reflect the revised vegetation
monitoring period. Phil mentioned that although there would be an extension of the
monitoring period for vegetation, monitoring reports would continue to be completed and
distributed by the end of December. Randy said they often perform random site visits
throughout the year to see how vegetation is performing and would perform supplemental
planting if noted early enough in the growing season.
Ken Jolly asked who was responsible for downloading wells and did they look at
vegetation. Beth Smyre said the Geotechnical Unit downloaded well data and notified
her of any vegetation issues. The Corps requested that proposed remediation for
hydrology and vegetation be included in monitoring reports. NCDOT and the Corps will
coordinate any remediation measures. Randy expressed their commitment to remediate
vegetation as soon as possible.

7-1
L

The discussion turned toward planted versus volunteer species. The Corps does
not want to see volunteer species included in survival rate calculations for planted
species. Randy noted the survival rate is set at 50% or higher. David wanted to make
sure that the sites meet the target species requirement in stems per acre, not a percentage
(except for older sites set up for percentage). David also wanted to see the distribution of
species planted and volunteer. Randy said it is often difficult to identify certain species
during the first two years (several oak species often look alike as saplings). Generally it
is easier to differentiate the species by the third year. The Corps wanted to know if there
was a way to identify the planted species at planting. However, the planting procedure is
11

D
so labor intensive now it would make it impossible to do so. The 50 foot by 50 foot
monitoring plots are chosen and staked in the field after planting has occurred. The
Corps wants NCDOT to note the unwanted volunteer species and to identify possible
remediation to make sure these species do not dominate the site. The NCDOT and the
Corps agreed that the distribution of species is such that no species dominates more than
20 % of the distribution. Red maple and sweet gum are generally not to be planted to
insure good numbers of target species.
HYDROLOGIC SUCCESS CRITERIA
The incorporation of reference systems in determining success was discussed.
David concluded that if a particular site failed under the 1987 Manual guidelines, then
NCDOT had the option of comparing site parameters to reference site parameters in
determining success. The purpose of reference systems was to allow NCDOT a second
option in achieving success. The determination of a reference system with its success,
criteria would need to be addressed in the mitigation plan. The use of the
hydrogeomorphic system (HGM) was also discussed. The Corps is not going to use
HGM as a reference system, but will probably look at it as a tool. There are no guidelines
out yet on HGM.
The use of 20-80 versus 30-70 probability graphs, as defined by WETS. was
discussed. These graphs compare the specific year rain data to the historical data for the
mitigation site area. The NRCS and WETS use the 30-70 probability graphs and
NCDOT would like to use these as well. It was decided to use the 30-70 information and
to go to the nearest gage station as long as the source was cited. David determined that if
a site's hydrology performs at 12.5%. then hydrologic success has been achieved. If a
site performs in the 5% to 12.5% range, then there is "marginal" hydrologic success. If
this trend continues, then the entire success criteria for the site will be reviewed.
The target percentage for hydrological success should be included in the permit
and shown in the mitigation plan. The Corps will be willing to negotiate on the success
of the site, but include adequate information in the permit and the mitigation plan.

Charles Bruton suggested placing monitoring wells in the impacted wetland areas
to assess and compare to mitigation areas. David wanted to insure that the best
mitigation site attainable is created. David also asked that well performance be broken
out in the report.
An interim report was given on Mud Creek. It was noted that wells placed in the
reference wetland and wells placed in the created wetland were an inappropriate method
to determine hydrologic success because the difference in soil type, hydrology, and cover
type.
Mike Bell discussed results of a workshop he attended on monitoring wells. He
also discussed the use of piezometers.

Greetings,
As you are aware, NCDOT is in the process of sending the annual mitigation
monitoring reports out to the regulatory and resource agencies. Instead o.f
bringing our comments to a meeting with NCDOT as we have done in the past, we
have elected to provide our written comments to NCDOT for their review prior to
having any sort of meeting. If any outstanding issues remain after NCDOT has
had an opportunity to review our comments, we would plan to meet at the
Transportation Building in Raleigh on March 8, 2001.
As there is a time factor involved, we would like to provide our comments back
to NCDOT within 30 days of the receipt of the reports. To that. end, a response
via e-mail is perfectly acceptable. Please provide your comments on these
reports to the appropriate NCDOT Project Manager with a copy to me in
Wilmington.
If you have any questions regarding this message, I may be reached at
910-251-4725. Point of Contact at NCDOT is Randy Griffin.

I SUMMARY
The Colington Creek and Cut Mitigation Sites are located in Dare County. Originally
planted in 1995, both sites were designed as mitigation for marsh wetland impacts
associated with bridge project B-2024. The Colington Creek site, having been deemed
a success, was closed in 1999. Monitoring of the Colington Cut site is presented in this
report.
' After five years of monitoring, the Colington Cut site shows by visual observation an
aerial coverage of 95% with 90% survival rate, exceeding the minimum 50% area
coverage and 50% survival rate. Treatment of the phragmites on the ends of the site
' has worked exceptionally well.
NCDOT recommends discontinuing monitoring of the site.

7.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
The Colington Cut and Creek Mitigation sites are located at Bridges No. 5 and 6 along
SR 1217 in Dare County (Figure 1). The sites consist of approximately 1.27 acres of
mitigation for marsh wetland impacts associated with project B-2024.
' 1.2 Purpose
' In order for a mitigation site to be considered successful, a site must meet success
criteria in both hydrology and vegetation. This report details the vegetation monitoring
in 2000 at the Colington Cut Mitigation Site. The Colington Creek site was previously
' closed out on October 15, 1999, having met vegetation success. Hydrologic monitoring
was not required for either site.

2.0 VEGETATION: COLINGTON CUT MITIGATION SITE
2.1 Success Criteria
Success Criteria states that there must be a 50% survival rate of planted species and
' 50% aerial coverage for at least three consecutive years.
' 2.2 Description of Species
The following marsh grass species were planted in the Wetland Restoration Area:
' Brackish Marsh on-site (creating approx. 0.50 acres)
Brackish Marsh off-site (creating approx. 0.63 acres)
Brackish Marsh off-site (restoring approx. 0.14 acres)

Site Notes: Site was planted with Juncus roemerianus in July 1995. The offsite marsh
areas were accepted. The on site area at Colington Cut was treated for phragmites
October 2000. Other species noted on both sides include: smartweed, panicium,
golden rod, phragmities, sesbane and aster. East side notes: part of the area has been
mowed. Both sides have approximately 95% vegetative coverage.
2.4 Conclusions
There were approximately 1.27 acres of marsh planted both on site and off site. There
were no plots established on either site. By visual observation the Colington Cut Site
had an aerial coverage of 95% with 90% survival rate, exceeding the minimum 50%
area coverage and .50% survival rate. NCDOT recommends discontinuing monitoring of
the site.

Re: Colington Cut Mitigation Site, Dare Co, TIP No. B-2024, CAMA Permit Number 70-92 and 71-92
Dear Mr. Harris:
This letter is in response to NCDOT's request in June 1999 and in subsequent annual mitigation site
monitoring reports to discontinue monitoring at the Colington Cut mitigation site in Dare County. Field
visits by DCM staff over the past few years have produced questions about whether or not the site has met
success criteria. While the site does contain some Juncus roemerianus and Scirpus spp., it appears to be
dominated by Phragmites. The 2002 Annual Monitoring Report includes results from the visual
vegetation monitoring that took place in October 2002. This report estimates 60% Juncus coverage, 25%
Scirpus coverage and 10% coverage of other species. A site visit by two DCM staff members on October
1, 2002 showed the site is dominated by Phragmites.
Because the Division does not agree that.the site is dominated by coastal marsh species to an extent
greater than 50%, it has been determined that the site has not met the required success criteria. Therefore,
additional monitoring and/or remediation will be necessary. In an effort to determine the cause of the
lack of success, DCM recommends that the site elevations be compared with other areas dominated by
Juncus in that vicinity to determine if the site needs to be regraded. If suitable mitigation can be found
nearby or is available at another mitigation site, it may be proposed as replacement for the permitted
impacts the Colington Cut site was designed to replace.
Please contact Kelly Williams, DCM Wetland Specialist or Cathy Brittingham, Transportation Project
Coordinator at [phone] in the Raleigh DCM Office about the remediation plans for this site.
Sincerely,
Doug Huggett

Re: Colington Mitigation Sites, Dare County, TIP Project No. B-2024; State Project
No. 8.2050301; COE Action ID No. 199103381, CAMA Permit Number 70-92 and
71-92.
Dear Dr. Bruton:
This letter is in response to your correspondence dated June 17, 1999 to the Division
of Coastal Management and recent phone conversations with Shannon Simpson of
your staff regarding the regulatory release of portions of the Colington Mitigation
Sites. The sites are located at Bridges No. 5 and No. 6 along SR 1217 in Dare
County. It appears, according to the description in your letter, that the vegetation
success criteria have been met for the Colington Creek Site (Site 3). We can,
therefore, agree with your recommendation to discontinue monitoring at this site.
We are pleased at the apparent success this site has shown.
Regarding the Colington Cut Sites (Sites 1 and 2), we also agree that monitoring
should continue until the success criteria have been met and the Phragmites has been
eliminated. The monitoring plan for these sites states as follows: "In the event that
these two conditions [plant survival and areal coverage] are not met and
environmental restoration is not considered successful, consultation will be held
between the staffs of NCDOT's Planning & Environmental Branch and Roadside
Environmental Unit, the Division of Coastal Management, the Corps of Engineers,
Wilmington District, and federal review agencies." We look forward to consulting
with DOT and other agencies about a remediation plan for the Phragmites infestation
at the Colington Cut Sites (Sites 1 and 2).
Please contact either Kelly Williams, DCM Wetland Restoration Specialist, or
myself at [phone] in the Raleigh-DCM Office at your earliest convenience
about a remediation plan to resolve the Phragmites problem at the Colington Cut
Sites (Sites 1 and 2).
