complexes and multi -family homes.
o. Describe existing drinking water supply source.
Drinking water is supplied by the Town of Pine Knoll Shores Public Services Department
p. Describe existing storm water management or treatment systems.
Due to the lack of a central sewer system, many of the roads in the Town of Pine Knoll Shores do not have a curb and gutter

❑ Private/Community
b. Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The project will replace a structurally deficient bridge on Mimosa Boulevard, Bridge No. 47, over Pine Knoll Waterway. While
the bridge is being replaced, the existing seawall will be removed and replaced by new bulkheads that will allow for a wider
navigable opening below the bridge span. This will allow for safer travel across the bridge on Mimosa Boulevard, as well as
allowing two-way boat traffic beneath the bridge on the Pine Knoll Waterway for the first time. During construction, a
temporary pedestrian bridge will be constructed across the waterway, in the vicinity of the existing bridge, to allow for safe
pedestrian travel throughout the construction phase. The temporary pedestrian bridge will be removed after the new bridge
is constructed.
c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where it is to be stored.
Cranes and backhoes will be used to remove the existing bridge slabs. Once the bridge is removed, the soil behind the
seawall will be excavated and the new bulkhead will be built. Once construction is complete, the existing seawall will be
removed. Then the new bridge will be built over the span. Graders will be used to match the existing road surface to the
new surface of the bridge.
d. List all development activities you propose.
Development activities include construction of a replacement bridge to allow for the removal of the existing deficient bridge
and construction of new bulkheads beneath the bridge to allow for removal of old seawall and expansion of the Pine Knoll
Waterway beneath Mimosa Boulevard. During construction, a temporary pedestrian bridge will be built alongside of the
construction area to allow pedestrian access across the waterway.
e. Are the proposed activities maintenance of an existing project, new work, or both? The proposed activities are new work.
f. What is the approximate total disturbed land area resulting from the proposed project? 1234 ®Sq.Ft or ❑Acres
g. Will the proposed project encroach on any public easement, public accessway or other area ®Yes ❑No ❑NA
that the public has established use of?
h. Describe location and type of existing and proposed discharges to waters of the state.
There will be no new discharges to waters of the state. Stormwater runoff from the bridge will be covered by the NC DOT
NPDES permit.
i. Will wastewater or stormwater be discharged into a wetland? ❑Yes ®No ❑NA
If yes, will this discharged water be of the same salinity as the receiving water? ❑Yes ❑No ®NA

S. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or
® Yes ❑ No
habitat?
5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act
® Yes ❑ No
impacts?
® Raleigh
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.
❑ Asheville
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
Correspondence with the USFWS indicates that as long as the Guidelines for Avoiding Impacts to the West Indian
Manatee (June, 2003) are implemented, the project should not have an adverse impact to the manatee. In addition, the
construction of new seawalls will take place behind the existing seawalls, leaving the existing seawalls intact throughout
the construction process. A review of NC National Heritage Program (NCNHP) database records indicate there have
been no West Indian Manatee occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project. See attachedc USFWS concurrence letter dated
April 19, 2011.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat?
TN Yes ❑ No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
According the NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) and the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) the
project study area is not designated as anadromous fish spawning habitat or a primary nursery area. However, since the
proposed project includes widening the channel, there is a potential for increased turbidity, therefore, the NCDMF may require
a construciton moratorium between April 1 -September 30 as a condition of the Section 404/401 permits from the USACE and
NCDWQ. Further coordination with NCDMF will be required once specific turbitity control measures and the season of the
year for construction have been determined.
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation
❑ Yes ® No
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
There are no historic sites near the project, based on North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS
Service, cited 6/21/11.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA -designated 100 -year floodplain?
❑ Yes ® No
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements:
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination? FEMA floodmaps panel 3720635500J, Effective date

2. Non-regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):3
Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional.
Explain:
Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
' For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally" (e.g.,
typically 3 months).
'Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F.
SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete Section
III.A.1 and Section M.D.I. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2 and Section
IH.D.1.; otherwise, see Section IH.B below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW: Bogue Sound/Pine Knoll waterway.
Summarize rationale supporting determination: Bogue Sound / Pine Knoll Waterway has traditionally been used for recreational and
commercial interstate commerce.
2. Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent":
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps determine
whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non -navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent waters"
(RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months). A wetland
that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round (perennial) flow, skip to
Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section HI.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and EPA
regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively
permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even though a significant
nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody° is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must consider
the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for analytical purposes,
the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary, or its adjacent
wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.I for the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any
onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a
significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.0 below.
1. Characteristics of non-TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW
(i) General Area Conditions:
Watershed size: Ic i
Drainage area: it s c d t

6A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g , where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where the
OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow regime (e.g., flow
over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed:
C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed by any
wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of a TNW.
For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more
than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW. Considerations when
evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and
its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine
significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a
tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of
significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in
the Instructional Guidebook Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to TNWs, or to
reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other
species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or biological
integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented below:

existing channel and potential increases in turbidity, the NCDMF may require a
construction moratorium. The construction moratorium for activities within coastal
waters extends from April 1 to September 30 as a condition of Section 404/401 permits
from the US Army Corps of Engineers and North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(respectively). Further coordination with NCDMF will be necessary once specific
turbidity control measures and the season of the year for construction have been
determined.

Federal Aid Project No. BRZ-0299(6)
WBS No. 41104. 1.1
TIP No. B-5001
INTRODUCTION: Bridge No. 47 is included in the 2009-2015 North Carolina Department
of Transportation (NCDOT) State Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and is eligible
for the Federal -Aid Highway Bridge Program. The location, topography, and aerial mapping
are shown in Figures 1., 2, and 3. No substantial environmental impacts are anticipated. The
project is classified as a Federal Categorical Exclusion.
I. PURPOSE AND NEED STATEMENT
NCDOT Bridge Management Unit records (Bridge Inspection Report, February 26, 2010)
indicate Bridge No. 47 has a sufficiency rating of 47.1 out of a possible 100 for a new
structure. The bridge is considered structurally deficient due to its structural condition of 2
out of 9 according to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards and therefore is
eligible for FHWA's Highway Bridge Program.
Bridge No. 47 was built in 1972 and has a timber substructure (piles and bulkheads) with
reinforced concrete caps and a prestressed concrete superstructure. It was designed for H-10
loading. The posted weight limit on the bridge is 30 tons for single vehicles and 34 tons for
truck -tractor semi -trailers.
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. Components of the concrete superstructure are also deteriorating. Bridge No. 47
is approaching the end of its useful life. Replacement of the bridge will result in safer traffic
operations. The proposed replacement bridge design is included in Figure 4, and the roadway
and bridge typical sections are included in Figure 5.
When local development of this area began in the 1970's, a canal was dug to drain the low-
lying properties and facilitate construction of a new residential neighborhood. Mimosa
Boulevard and Oakleaf Drive were built to serve as the access routes over the canal (the Pine
Knoll Waterway) and into the neighborhood. The original canal has taken on a new purpose,
serving as a recreational facility for many local residents and providing a route for boat traffic
into and from Bogue Sound. Currently, this waterway narrows at Mimosa Boulevard,
allowing for only one-way boat traffic. The Town plans to widen the waterway at the same
time as the bridge and bulkhead replacement.
It. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project is located within the municipal limits of the Town of Pine Knoll Shores in
Carteret County, approximately 0.1 -mile north of the intersection of Mimosa Boulevard and
NC 58 (Salter Path Road). Development in the area is residential. Mimosa Boulevard is
classified as an urban local collector, and it is not a National Highway System Route.
In the vicinity bf the bridge, Mimosa Boulevard is 24 feet wide, consisting of two 12 -foot
travel lanes with curb (no gutters), shown in photos in Figure 6. The bottom of the existing
bridge structure is approximately 20 feet above the streambed and 15 feet above the water
surface.
Bridge No. 47 is a one -span structure that consists of a precast, prestressed concrete channel
with an asphalt -wearing surface. The end bents consist of reinforced concrete caps on timber
piles with timber bulkheads. The overall length of the structure is 31 feet. The clear roadway
width is 24.0 feet.
There are overhead power lines and other utilities attached to the east and west sides of the
existing structure. Utility impacts are anticipated to be high.
The average daily traffic volume listed on the Bridge Inspection Report of 560 vehicles per
day (VPD) in 1980 includes 7% truck traffic. Current traffic counts are not available. Traffic
for the year 2025 is expected to increase to 1,120 VPD. The posted speed limit is 25 miles per
hour in the project area. Several public school buses cross the bridge daily on their morning
and afternoon routes.
This section of Mimosa Boulevard is not part of a designated bicycle route, and there are no
sidewalks near the bridge. However, Pine Knoll Shores is a popular site for tourists in the
summer, given its location at the beach. Mimosa Boulevard is the primary access to the beach
(across Salter Path Road) for this neighborhood. Many permanent / year-round residents also
live in this neighborhood, and pedestrians were observed during a site visit on January 28,
2010. The Town of Pine Knoll Shores has requested a temporary pedestrian bridge be built
for beach access during construction.
1I1. ALTERNATIVES
A. Project Description
The replacement structure will consist of a bridge approximately 50 feet long. The bridge
length is based on preliminary design information and acconunodates widening of the Pine
Knoll Waterway. The bridge will be of sufficient width to provide for two 12 -foot lanes with
curb and gutter and 5 -foot sidewalks on each side. The roadway grade of the new structure
will be approximately the same as the existing grade.
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion
B. Reasonable and Feasible Alternatives
One build alternative for replacing Bridge No. 47 was studied in detail and is described
below.
Alternate 1 (Preferred)
Alternate 1 'involves replacement of the structure along the existing roadway alignment.
Improvements to the approach roadways will be required for a distance of approximately 200
feet to the north and 270 feet to the south of the new structure to tie the proposed pavement
improvements to the existing roadway. This alternate will be designed using 3R guidelines
with a design speed of 30 miles per hour. Traffic will be detoured offsite (see Figure 1.)
during the construction period.
NCDOT Cmidelines for Evaluation of Offsite Detours for Bridge Replacement Projects
considers multiple project variables beginning with the additional time traveled by the
average road user resulting from the offsite detour. The offsite detour for this project would
include NC 58 (Salter Path Road), Cedar Road, Oakleaf Drive, and Hawthorne Drive. The
detour for the average motorist would result in a maximum of four minutes of additional
travel time (1.8 miles of additional travel). The duration of construction is expected to be 18
months on this project.
Based on the Guidelines, the criteria above indicate that on the basis of delay along the detour
is acceptable.
The proposed improvements also include the replacement of the seawalls as well as a
widening of the Pine Knoll Waterway to approximately 33 feet (8 feet on each side of the
canal). The widening of the waterway will be accomplished by constructing new seawalls
behind the existing seawall, leaving the existing seawalls intact during construction. The
upland area between the new and existing seawall will be excavated down to the elevation of
the current channel prior to the removal of the existing seawall. No dredging of the Pine
Knoll Waterway will be required as part of the channel widening.
C. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Consideration
The "do-nothing" alternative will eventually necessitate closure of the bridge. This is not
acceptable due to the traffic service provided by Bridge No. 47.
Prior maintenance on Bridge No. 47 includes repair to the spalled areas of concrete with
exposed reinforcements, repair of decayed areas in the timber wingwall piles, and patching of
the prestressed concrete channel beams. Rehabilitation of the old bridge is not practical due
to its deteriorated condition, including the following elements listed in the Bridge Inspection
Report:
• The asphalt overlay has light wear and ravel.
The bridge rails have minor scaling and moss stains throughout. Cracks and
delamination present on the bridge posts.
There is a full width transverse crack in the roadway surface located at each end bent.
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion
• Cracks, spalling, and exposed rebar in End Bents 1 and 2.
• Loss of bearing on timber piles.
• Hairline cracks and minor vertical gaps present along the wingwalls and bulkheads.
Areas of rot on each.
• Spalling, delamination, and exposed rebar are present on north and south bulkheads.
Staged construction is not feasible for this bridge because the structure will not support the
removal of a portion and maintenance of traffic on the remaining portion.
A new alignment is not recommended due to potential impacts to nearby residences. An on-
site detour for vehicle traffic is not recommended for this location because of potential
impacts to nearby residences and the availability of an acceptable off-site detour.
D. Preferred Alternative
Bridge No. 47 will be replaced at the existing location as shown by Alternative 1 in Figure 4.
IV. ESTIMATED COSTS
The estimated costs, based on 2010 prices, are as follows in Table 1:
Table 1. Estimated Project Costs
The full cost of widening the waterway and relocating the seawall will be paid by the Town.
The cost of the remainder of the project will be funded by FHWA (80%) and the Town (20%).

Biotic Resources
A majority of the habitat in the project area is aquatic (Pine Knoll Waterway), and the
adjacent terrestrial habitat consists of previously disturbed habitats located within existing
NCDOT right-of-way. The only terrestrial community within the study area is
maintained/disturbed (approximately 1.0 acre), which includes the regularly mowed grassy
shoulders along Mimosa Boulevard, residential lawns, and the impervious surface of the road
and bridge. 19e vegetation within these areas varies with different management regimes.
Common species include centipede and Bermuda grasses within the existing right-of-way and
residential lawns, and Atlantic white cedar, pampas grass, pennywort, and greenbrier adjacent
to the existing seawalls underneath and next to the bridge. The terrestrial community in the
study area may be impacted by project construction as a result of clearing, grading, and
paving associated with the bridge replacement.
The terrestrial community in the study area is comprised of disturbed habitats that may
support wildlife species adapted to urban environments. Mammals that may be found in the
project area include raccoon, eastern cottontail, Virginia opossum, gray squirrel, and cotton
mouse. Birds that are commonly found in the project area include the cardinal, Carolina
chickadee, mockingbird, robin, Carolina wren, eastern bluebird, blue jay, and American crow.
Birds that commonly use the open water habitat of the Pine Knoll Waterway include the great
blue heron, brown pelican, osprey, great egret, wood duck, and herring gull. Common reptiles
and amphibians include the eastern garter snake, copperhead, black racer, five -lined skink,
eastern mud turtle, eastern box turtle, yellowbelly slider, southern dusky salamander,
Brimley's chorus frog, and spring peeper.
The aquatic community in the study area consists of the Pine Knoll Waterway. This tidally
influenced canal supports many of the macrobenthics, shellfish, and juvenile fish species
known to occur in Bogue Sound. Species likely to occur in the canal include clams, oysters,
bay scallops, juvenile shrimp, blue crab, juvenile spot, mullet, southern flounder, croakers,
menhaden, and red drum. Oysters and bay scallops were observed along the seawalls of the
canal.
Jurisdictional Topics
Surface Waters and Wetlands
The Pine Knoll Waterway is the only jurisdictional feature identified in the study area. There
are no jurisdictional wetlands within the project study area.
Permits
The following permits or coordination with regulatory agencies are anticipated for this
project:
Section 404 — Impacts to "Waters of the United States" (including wetlands, streams,
and open waters that are connected to a navigable waterway) come under the jurisdiction
of USAGE. Discharges of dredged or fill materials into the Pine Knoll Waterway
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion 6
associated with the bridge replacement and channel widening project will require a
Section 404 permit from the USACE. The Nationwide Permit (NWP) 23 (Approved
Categorical Exclusions) may be used to authorize impacts to jurisdictional waters within
the project study area. If the project impacts exceed the specified NWP thresholds, an
Individual Section 404 permit will be required.
Section 401 Water Quality Certification — A Section 401 Water Quality Certification
from NC15WQ will be required for any activity that may result in a discharge into
"Waters of the United States" or for which the issuance of a federal permit is required.
Minor impacts may be authorized under a General Water Quality Certification. The
General Water Quality Certification #3701 may be used to authorize impacts to
jurisdictional waters within the project study area. If the project requires an Individual
Section 404 permit, an Individual Section 401 Water Quality Certification will also be
required.
Coastal Area Management Act Areas of .Environmental Concern — Carteret County
is listed as one of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties and is subject to regulation
by NCDCM. Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Areas of Environmental Concern
(AECs) were identified along the Pine Knoll Waterway in the study area. The Pine
Knoll Waterway is a designated Public Trust Water. AECs include all lands within 75
feet of the normal high water level (NWL) of the waterway. This determination was
confirmed during an agency field review on August 23, 2010.
A CAMA pennit from NCDCM will be required for all impacts to designated AECs and
coastal wetlands within the study area. Any impacts to AECs resulting from the
proposed project will likely require a CAMA General or Minor Pennit.
Construction Moratoria — The Pine Knoll Waterway is not identified by NCDMF as
anadromous fish waters or as a primary nursery area. However, because the proposed
project involves widening the existing channel and potential increases in turbidity, the
NCDMF may require a construction moratorium. The construction moratorium for
activities within coastal waters extends from April 1 to September 30 as a condition of
the Section 404 and 401 permits from the USACE and NCDWQ. Further coordination
with NCDMF will be necessary once specific turbidity control measures and the season
of the year for construction have been determined.
Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 Navigable Waters — The Pine Knoll Waterway
has been designated by the USACE as a Navigable Water under Section 10 of the Rivers
and Harbors Act. The construction of structures that affect navigation within these
waters requires additional USACE authorization, which is applied for using the same
application submitted for USACE 404 approval. The USACE requires a Section 10
permit for the construction of any structure in, over, or under any "Navigable Water of
the United States."
Construction of bridges within navigable waters also requires US Coast Guard (USCG)
approval under Section 9 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. This approval is obtained with
a separate application submitted directly to the USCG. Minor impacts may be
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion
authorized under an expedited review process known as Advanced Approval, while
major bridge projects are required to follow the standard permitting process. A
Section 9 permit from the USCG will likely be required for the construction of the
bridge across the .Pine Knoll Waterway.
Final determination of permit applicability lies with the USACE and USCG.
Federally Protected Species
As of January 31, 2008 (database checked in August 2010), the US Fish and Wildlife Service
lists thirteen federally protected species for Carteret County (Table 4). A brief description of
each species' habitat requirements follows, along with the Biological Conclusion rendered
based on survey results in the project area. Habitat requirements for each species are based on
the current best available information per referenced literature and USFWS correspondence

* - Obscure record (The date and/or location of the observation is uncertain.)
American alligator
In North Carolina, alligators have been recorded in nearly every coastal county and
many inland counties to the fall line. The alligator is found in rivers, streams, canals,
lakes, swamps, and coastal marshes. Adult animals are highly tolerant of salt water,
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion
but the young are apparently more sensitive, with salinities greater than 5 parts per
thousand considered harmful. The American alligator remains on the protected
species list due to its similarity in appearance to the Endangered American crocodile.
Biological Conclusion: Not Required
Species listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance do not require Section 7
consultation with the USFWS. Habitat for the American alligator is present within
the'ptdject area within the Pine Knoll Waterway. A review of NCNHP database
records, accessed 8/19/10, indicates documented American alligator occurrences
within 1.0 mile of the project.
Eastern cougar
Records of eastern cougar occur across the state of North Carolina with most
sightings in coastal swamps and the southern Appalachian Mountains. This nocturnal
predator is found in large remote wilderness areas where there is an abundance of
their primary food source, white-tailed deer. A cougar will usually occupy a range of
10 to 20 square miles, varying in size with age, sex, and food availability.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the eastern cougar does not exist within the project area. The
project occurs in an urban setting with habitats comprised primarily of maintained
grasses/lawns. A review of NCNHP database records, accessed 8/19/10, indicates no
known eastern cougar occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project.
Green sea turtle
The green sea turtle is found in temperate and tropical oceans and seas. Nesting in
North America is limited to small communities on the east coast of Florida requiring
beaches with minimal disturbances and a sloping platform for nesting. (They do not
nest in North Carolina.) The green sea turtle can be found in shallow waters. They
are attracted to lagoons, reefs, bays, mangrove swamps, and inlets where an
abundance of marine grasses can be found, as this is the principle food source for the
green sea turtle.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Ocean beach habitat does not occur within the project area. Therefore, suitable
nesting habitat for the green sea turtle does not exist within the project area. Sea
turtles are known to forage in Bogue Sound during the waren summer months.
Suitable foraging habitat for the green sea turtle does exist in the project area within
the Pine Knoll Waterway. A review of NCNHP database records, accessed 8/19/10,
indicates no known green sea turtle occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project. The
proposed widening of the waterway will be accomplished by constructing new
seawalls behind the existing seawalls, leaving the existing seawalls intact during
construction. No dredging, channel realignment, or barging is proposed as part of the
project construction.
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion
Kemp's ridley sea turtle
Kemp's ridley sea turtle is the smallest of the sea turtles that visit North Carolina's
coast, and'has been sighted in most coastal counties. While the majority of this sea
turtle's nesting occurs in Mexico, the species is known to nest on North Carolina
beaches infrequently. Sightings of the species exist for most coastal counties.
Kemp's ridley sea turtles can lay eggs as many as three times during the April to June
breeding season. Kemp's ridley sea turtles prefer beach sections that are backed up
by bxtt✓nsive swamps or large bodies of open water having seasonal narrow ocean
connections and a well defined elevated dune area. The species prefers neritic
(nearshore) areas with sandy or muddy bottoms.
Biological Conclusion: May Affect — No Effect
Ocean beach habitat does not occur within the project area. Therefore, suitable
nesting habitat for Kemp's ridley sea turtle does not exist within the project area. Sea
turtles are known to forage in Bogue Sound during the warm summer months.
Suitable foraging habitat for the Kemp's ridley sea turtle does exist in the project area
within the Pine Knoll Waterway. A review of NCNHP database records, accessed
8/19/10, indicates no known Kemp's ridley sea turtle occurrences within 1.0 mile of
the project. The proposed widening of the waterway will be accomplished by
constructing new seawalls behind the existing seawalls, leaving the existing seawalls -
intact during construction. No dredging, channel realignment, or barging is proposed
as part of the project construction.
Leatherback sea turtle
Leatherbacks are distributed world-wide in tropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific,
and Indian oceans. They are generally open ocean species, and may be common off
the North Carolina coast during certain times of the year. However, in northern
waters leatherbacks are reported to enter into bays, estuaries, and other inland bodies
of water. Major nesting areas occur mainly in tropical regions. In the United States,
primary nesting areas are in Florida. However, nests are known from Georgia, South
Carolina, and North Carolina as well. Nesting occurs from April to August.
Leatherbacks need sandy beaches backed with vegetation in the proximity of deep
water and generally with rough seas. Beaches with a relatively steep slope are
usually preferred.
Biological Conclusion. No Effect
Ocean beach habitat does not occur within the project area; therefore, suitable nesting
habitat for the leatherback sea turtle does not exist within the project area. Sea turtles
are known to forage in Bogue Sound during the warm summer months. Suitable
foraging habitat for the leatherback sea turtle does exist in the project area within the
Pine Knoll Waterway. A review of NCNHP database records, accessed 8/19/10,
indicates no known leatherback sea turtle occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project.
The proposed widening of the waterway will be accomplished by constructing new
seawalls behind the existing seawalls, leaving the existing seawalls intact during
construction. No dredging, channel realignment, or barging is proposed as part of the
project construction.
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion 10
Loggerhead sea turtle
The loggerhead is widely distributed within its range, and is found in three distinct
habitats during their lives. These turtles may be found hundreds of miles out in the
open ocean, in neritic (nearshore) areas, or on coastal beaches. In North Carolina,
this species has been observed in every coastal county. Loggerheads occasionally
nest on North Carolina beaches, and are the most common of all the sea turtles that
visit the North Carolina coast. They nest nocturnally, at two or three year intervals,
between May and September, on isolated beaches that are characterized by fine-
grained sediments. In nearshore areas, loggerheads have been observed in bays,
lagoons, salt marshes, creeks, ship channels, and the mouths of large rivers. Coral
reefs, rocky places, and shipwrecks are often used as foraging areas.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Ocean beach habitat does not occur within the project area. Therefore, suitable
nesting habitat for the loggerhead sea turtle does not exist within the project area.
Sea turtles are known to forage in Bogue Sound during the warm summer months.
Suitable foraging habitat for the loggerhead sea turtle does exist in the project area
within the Pine Knoll Waterway. A review of NCNHP database records, accessed
8/19/10, indicates documented loggerhead sea turtle occurrences within 1.0 mile of
the project area along the Bogue Banks beach area. The proposed widening of the
waterway will be accomplished by constructing new seawalls behind the existing
seawalls, leaving the existing seawalls intact during construction. No dredging,
channel realignment, or barging is proposed as part of the project construction.
Piping Plover
The piping plover breeds along the entire eastern coast of the United States. North
Carolina is uniquely positioned in the species range, being the only State where the
piping plover's breeding and wintering ranges overlap and the birds are present year-
round. They nest most commonly where there is little or no vegetation, but some
may nest in stands of beach grass. The nest is a shallow depression in the sand that is
usually lined with shell fragments and light colored pebbles.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the piping plover does not exist within the project area. The Pine
Knoll Waterway lacks the shoreline habitat necessary for foraging and no coastal
beaches exist within the project area for nesting. A review of NCNHP database
records, accessed 8/19/10, indicates no known piping plover occurrences within 1.0
mile of the project.
Red -cockaded woodpecker
The red -cockaded woodpecker (RCW) typically occupies open, mature stands of
southern pines, particularly longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), for foraging and
nesting/roosting habitat. The RCW excavates cavities for nesting and roosting in
living pine trees, aged 60 years or older, and which are contiguous with pine stands at
least 30 years of age to provide foraging habitat. The foraging range of the RCW is
normally no more than 0.5 miles.
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the RCW does not exist within the project area. The project
occurs in an urban setting with habitats comprised primarily of maintained
grasses/lawns. No mature pine stands are present in the project area. A review of
NCNHP database records, accessed 8/19/10, indicates no known red -cockaded
woodpecker occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project.
• •r
Roseate tern
In North Carolina, the roseate tern is most likely to be seen on barrier islands as it
passes through the area to and from northern breeding grounds. March through May
and August through October are the most likely times to see these birds. Although
site records of this species exist for June, July, and August, these are likely non -
breeding males. Only one nesting record for this species has been documented for the
state within the past twenty years. However, if this species expands its range, it is
likely to choose coastal areas of the state for nesting. The roseate tern nests on
isolated, less disturbed coastal islands in areas characterized by sandy, rocky, or
clayey substrates with either sparse or thick vegetation. Eggs are usually laid such
that grasses or overhanging objects provide shelter. They may also nest in marshes,
but it is an uncommon occurrence.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable nesting habitat for the migrant roseate tern does not exist within the project
area. The project occurs in an urban setting with habitats comprised primarily of
maintained grasses/lawns. A review of NCNHP database records, accessed 8/19/10,
indicates no known roseate tern occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project.
Shortnose sturgeon
Shortnose sturgeon occur in most major river systems along the eastern seaboard of
the United States. The species prefers the nearshore marine, estuarine, and riverine
habitat of large river systems. It is an anadromous species that migrates to faster -
moving freshwater areas to spawn in the spring, but spends most of its life within
close proximity of the river's mouth. Large freshwater rivers that are unobstructed by
dams or pollutants are imperative to successful reproduction. Distribution
information by river/waterbody is lacking for the rivers of North Carolina; however,
records are known from most coastal counties.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the shortnose sturgeon does not exist within the project area. This
species is not known to occur in the Bogue Sound and would not likely occur in the
Pine Knoll Waterway. A review of NCNHP database records, accessed 8/19/10,
indicates no known shortnose sturgeon occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project.
West Indian manatee
Manatees have been observed in all the North Carolina coastal counties. Manatees
are found in canals, sluggish rivers, estuarine habitats, salt water bays, and as far
offshore as 3.7 miles. They utilize freshwater and marine habitats at shallow depths
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion
12
of 5 to 20 feet. In the winter, between October and April, manatees concentrate in
areas with warm water. During other times of the year, habitats appropriate for the
manatee are those with sufficient water depth, an adequate food supply, and in
proximity to freshwater. Manatees require a source of fresh water to drink. Manatees
are primarily herbivorous, feeding on any aquatic vegetation present, but they may
occasionally feed on fish.
Biological Conclusion: May Affect — Not Likely to Adversely Affect
The West Indian manatee is known to forage in Bogue Sound during the warm
summer months. Suitable foraging habitat for the West Indian manatee does exist in
the project area within the Pine Knoll Waterway. Precautionary measures for
construction activities in North Carolina waters used by the manatee have been
outlined by the Raleigh Field Office of the USFWS. if the Guidelines for Avoiding
Impacts to the West Indian Manatee (USFWS, 2003) are implemented by the
contractor during construction, the project should not have an adverse impact to
manatee. The proposed widening of the waterway will be accomplished by
constructing new seawalls behind the existing seawalls, leaving the existing seawalls
intact during construction. No dredging, channel realignment, or barging is proposed
as part of the project construction. A review of NCNHP database records, accessed
8/19/10, indicates no known West Indian manatee occurrences within 1.0 mile of the
project. Due to the presence of potentially suitable habitat, the replacement of Bridge
No. 47 may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the West Indian manatee.
Rough -leaved loosestrife
Rough -leaved loosestrife, endemic to the Coastal Plain and Sandhills of North and
South Carolina, generally occurs in the ecotones or edges between longleaf pine
uplands and pond pine pocosins in dense shrub and vine growth on moist to
seasonally saturated sands and on shallow organic soils overlaying sand (spodosolic
soils). Occurrences are found in such disturbed habitats as roadside depressions,
maintained power and utility rights-of-way, firebreaks, and trails. The species prefers
full sunlight, is shade intolerant, and requires areas of disturbance (e.g., clearing,
mowing, periodic burning) where the overstory is minimal. It can, however, persist
vegetatively for many years in overgrown, fire -suppressed areas. Blaney, Gilead,
Johnston, Kalmia, Leon, Mandarin, Murville, Torhunta, and Vaucluse are some of the
soil series on which occurrences have been found.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for rough -leaved loosestrife does not exist within the project area.
The project occurs in an urban setting with habitats comprised primarily of
maintained grasses/lawns. A review of NCNHP database records, accessed 8/19/10,
indicates no known rough -leaved loosestrife occurrences within 1.0 mile of the
project.
Seabeach amaranth
Seabeach amaranth occurs on bairier island beaches where its primary habitat
consists of overwash flats at accreting ends of islands, lower foredunes, and upper
strands of noneroding beaches (landward of the wrack Pane). In rare situations, this
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion 13
annual is found on sand spits 160 feet or more from the base of the nearest foredune.
It occasionally establishes small temporary populations in other habitats, including
sound -side beaches, blowouts in foredunes, interdunal areas, and on sand and shell
material deposited for beach replenishment or as dredge spoil. The plant's habitat is
sparsely vegetated with annual herbs (forbs) and, less commonly, perennial herbs
(mostly grasses) and scattered shrubs. It is, however, intolerant of vegetative
competition and does not occur on well -vegetated sites. The species usually is found
growing on a nearly pure silica sand substrate, occasionally with shell fragments
mixed in. Seabeach arnaranth appears to require extensive areas of barrier island
beaches and inlets that function in a relatively natural and dynamic manner. These
characteristics allow it to move around in the landscape, occupying suitable habitat as
it becomes available.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Due to the absence of beaches and dunes, suitable habitat for the seabeach amaranth
does not exist within the project area. A review of NCNHP database records,
accessed 8/19/10, indicates a documented seabeach amaranth occurrence within 1.0
mile of the project. The occurrence was located along the Bogue Banks beaches.
Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle Protection Act
Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forest in close proximity to
large bodies of open water for foraging. Large, dominant trees are utilized for nesting
sites, typically within one mile of open water. Suitable habitat for bald eagle does not
exist in the project area along the shoreline of the Pine Knoll Waterway. The project
occurs in an urban setting with habitats comprised primarily of maintained
grasses/lawns. No nest trees were observed during field investigations in January and
August 2010.
VI. HUMAN ENVIRONMENT
Section 106 Compliance Guidelines
This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act of 1966, as amended, and implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 1.06, codified at Title 36 CFR Part
800. Section 106 requires Federal agencies to take into account the effect of their
undertakings (federally funded, licensed, or pennitted) on properties included in or eligible
for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and afford the Advisory Council a
reasonable opportunity to comment on such undertakings.
Historic Architecture
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) reviewed the subject project and is not aware
of any historic resources which would be affected by the project. SHPO has no comment on
the project as proposed. (See letter dated May 24, 2010.)
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion 14
Archaeology
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) reviewed the subject project. There are no
known archaeological sites within the proposed project area, and no archaeological
investigation needs to be conducted. (See letter dated May 24, 2010).
Community linpacts
No adverse impact on families or communities is anticipated. Right-of-way acquisition will
be limited. No relocatees are expected with implementation of the proposed alternative.
No adverse effect on public facilities or services is expected. The project is not expected to
adversely affect social, economic, or religious opportunities in the area.
The project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulation. No change
in land use is expected to result from the construction of the project.
The Farmland Protection Policy Act requires all federal agencies or their representatives to
consider the potential impact to prime farmland of all land acquisition and construction
projects. All construction will take place along existing alignment. There are no soils
classified as prime, unique, or having state or local importance in the vicinity of the project.
Therefore, the project will not involve the direct conversion of farmland acreage within these
classifications.
The project will not have a disproportionately high and adverse human health and
environmental effect on any minority or low-income population.
Noise & Air Quality
The project is located in Carteret County, which has been determined to comply with the
National Air Quality Standards. The proposed project is located in an attainment area;
therefore, 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93 are not applicable. This project is not anticipated to create
any adverse effects on the air quality of this attainment area.
This project will not result in any meaningful changes in traffic volume, vehicle mix, location
of the existing facility, or any other factor that would cause an increase in emissions impacts
relative to the no -build alternative. As such, FHWA has determined that this project will
generate minimal air quality impacts for Clean Air Act criteria pollutants and has not been
linked with any special MSAT concerns. Consequently this effort is exempt from analysis for
MSAT's.
Noise levels may increase during project construction; however, these impacts are not
expected to be substantial considering the relatively short-term nature of construction noise
and the limitation of construction to daytime hours. The transmission loss characteristics of
nearby natural elements and man-made structures are believed to be sufficient to moderate the
effects of intrusive construction noise.
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion 15
VII. GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The project is expected to have an overall positive impact. Replacement of an inadequate
bridge will result in safer traffic operations.
The bridge replacement will not have an adverse effect on the quality of the human or natural
environment with the use of the current North Carolina Department of Transportation
standards and specifications.
The proposed project will not require right-of-way acquisition or easement from any land
protected under Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966. There are no
properties in the project area that are protected under Section 4(f).
An examination of records at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, Division of Environmental Management, Groundwater Section and the North
Carolina Department of Human Resources, Solid Waste Management Section revealed no
underground storage tanks or hazardous waste sites in the project area.
The Pine Knoll Waterway is not a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) -
regulated stream and therefore will not require a Conditional Letter of Map Revision
(CLOMR).
VIII. COORDINATION & AGENCY COMMENTS
The Town has sought input from the following agencies as a part of the project development:
Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Coast Guard, National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (Fisheries), NC Wildlife Resource Commission, NC Division of
Water Quality, NC Division of Coastal Management, NC Division of Marine Fisheries, and
the State Historic Preservation Office.
The NC Division of Coastal Management responded in a letter dated May 11, 2010 that it
appears that a Public Trust Area, Estuarine Waters, and Coastal Shoreline Areas of
Environmental Concern (AECs) will be impacted and a Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA) permit will be required.
The NC Division of Water Quality in a standardized letter dated May 25, 2010 provided the
following project -specific comments:
• Review of the project reveals the presence of surface waters classified as SA; High
Quality Waters of the State in the project study area. This is one of the highest
classifications for water quality. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .1006 and 15A NCAC
2B .0224, NCDOT will be required to obtain a State Stormwater Permit prior to
construction. While projects in North Carolina's twenty coastal counties are exempt
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion 16
from the above rules, other stormwater requirements may be in effect and will need to
be adhered to.
• Any anticipated bank stabilization associated with the bridge replacement should be
addressed in the Categorical Exclusion (CE) document. It is understood that final
designs may not (be) determined at the time the CE is developed. However, the CE
should discuss the potential for bank stabilization necessary due to bridge
replacefnent.
Response: Permanent slope /bank stabilization will be established on all graded
slopes and fills within 21 days after a phase of grading is complete. Permanent
vegetation controls erosion by physically protecting a bare soil surface. from raindrop
impact, flowing water, and wind. Vegetation binds soil particles together with a dense
root system, and reduces the velocity and volume of overland flow. It is the preferred
method of surface stabilization in North Carolina where site conditions permit.
Special attention will be given to selecting the most suitable plant material for the .site
and intended purpose.
Any anticipated dewatering or access structures necessary for construction of bridges
should be addressed in the CE. It is understood that final designs are not detennined
at the time the CE is developed. However, the CE should discuss the potential for
dewatering and access measures necessary due to bridge construction.
Response: Dewatering and access structures are not anticipated, for this project.
The NC Wildlife Resource Commission responded in a letter dated June 14, 2010 that "this
area is characterized by higher salinity water primarily supporting species under the
jurisdiction of the NC Division of Marine Fisheries; therefore NCDOT should coordinate with
NCDMF to address impacts to aquatic species. We recommend replacing this bridge with a
bridge. Standard recommendations apply."
Response: Coordination was initiated with the NC Division of Marine Fisheries via the
Scoping Letter, dated May 11, 2010. A response. from NCDMF was not received.
IX. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
A newsletter announcement was printed in the Pine Knoll Shores local paper in March 2010
announcing a Citizens Informational Workshop. The informal workshop was held on April
28, 2010, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at Town Hall, and citizens were invited to comment. Eighteen
citizens attended, and three comment sheets were received during or following the workshop.
Two comment sheets stated a preference that the temporary pedestrian walkway be built on
the east side and were in favor of the project. The third comment sheet received included a
request for navigation lights on the bridge (underneath).
There is not substantial controversy on social, economic, or environmental grounds
concerning the project.
B-5001 Categorical Exclusion 17
X. CONCLUSION
On the basis of the above discussion, it is concluded that no substantial adverse environmental
impacts will result from implementation of the project. The project is therefore considered to
be a federal "Categorical Exclusion" due to its limited scope and lack of substantial
environmental consequences.

GUIDELINES FOR AVOIDING IMPACTS TO THE WEST INDIAN MANATEE
Precautionary Measures for Construction Activities in North Carolina Waters
The West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), also known as the Florida manatee, is
a Federally -listed endangered aquatic mammal protected under the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the Marine Mammal Protection Act
of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.0 1461 et seq.). The manatee is also listed as endangered
under the North Carolina Endangered Species Act of 1987 (Article 25 of Chapter 113 of
the General Statutes). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is the lead Federal
agency responsible for the protection and recovery of the West Indian manatee under the
provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Adult manatees average 10 feet long and weigh about 2,200 pounds, although some
individuals have been recorded at lengths greater than 13 feet and weighing as much as
3,500 pounds. Manatees are commonly found in fresh, brackish, or marine water habitats,
including shallow coastal bays, lagoons, estuaries, and inland rivers of varying salinity
extremes. Manatees spend much of their time underwater or partly submerged, making
them difficult to detect even in shallow water. While the manatee's principal stronghold in
the United States is Florida, the species is considered a seasonal inhabitant of North
Carolina with most occurrences reported from June through October.
To protect manatees in North Carolina, the Service's Raleigh Field Office has prepared
precautionary measures for general construction activities in waters used by the species.
Implementation of these measure will allow in -water projects which do not require blasting
to proceed without adverse impacts to manatees. In addition, inclusion of these guidelines
as conservation measures in a Biological Assessment or Biological Evaluation, or as part
of the determination of impacts on the manatee in an environmental document prepared
pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act, will expedite the Service's review of the
document for the fulfillment of requirements under Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act. These measures include:
1. The project manager and/or contractor will inform all personnel associated with the
project that manatees may be present in the project area, and the need to avoid any harm
to these endangered mammals. The project manager will ensure that all construction
personnel know the general appearance of the species and their habit of moving about
completely or partially submerged in shallow water. All construction personnel will be
informed that they are responsible for observing water -related activities for the presence
of manatees.
2. The project manager and/or the contractor will advise all construction personnel that
there are civil and criminal penalties for harming, harassing, or killing manatees which are
protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act.
3. If a manatee is seen within 100 yards of the active construction and/or dredging
operation or vessel movement, all appropriate precautions will be implemented to ensure
protection of the manatee. These precautions will include the immediate shutdown of
moving equipment if a manatee comes within 50 feet of the operational area of the
equipment. Activities will not resume until the manatee has departed the project area on
its own volition (i.e., it may not be herded or harassed from the area).
4. Any collision with and/or injury to a manatee will be reported immediately. The report
must be made to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (ph. 919.856.4520 ext. 16), the
National Marine Fisheries Service (ph. 252.728.8762), and the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (ph. 252.448.1546).
5. A sign will be posted in all vessels associated with the project where it is clearly visible
to the vessel operator. The sign should state:
CAUTION: The endangered manatee may occur in these waters during the warmer
months, primarily from June through October. Idle speed is required if operating
this vessel in shallowwater during these months. All equipment must be shut down
if a manatee comes within 50 feet of the vessel or operating equipment. A collision
with and/or injury to the manatee must be reported immediately to the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (919-856-4520 ext. 16), the National Marine Fisheries Service
(252.728.8762), and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(252.448.1546).
6. The contractor will maintain a log detailing sightings, collisions, and/or injuries to
manatees during project activities. Upon completion of the action, the project manager will
prepare a report which summarizes all information on manatees encountered and submit
the report to the Service's Raleigh Field Office.
7. All vessels associated with the construction project will operate at "no wake/idle" speeds
at all times while in water where the draft of the vessel provides less than a four foot
clearance from the bottom. All vessels will follow routes of deep water whenever possible.
8. If siltation barriers must be placed in shallow water, these barriers will be: (a) made of
material in which manatees cannot become entangled; (b) secured in a manner that they
cannot break free and entangle manatees; and, (c) regularly monitored to ensure that
manatees have not become entangled. Barriers will be placed in a manner to allow
manatees entry to or exit from essential habitat.

RE: Replacement of Bridge No. 47 over Pine Knoll Waterway at Mimosa Boulevard in Pine Knoll
Shores, NC, TIP No. B-5001
Dear Mr. Kramer:
The NC Division of Coastal Management (DCM) received the scoping letter, dated April 30, 2010, for
the replacement of Bridge No. 47 over the Pine Knoll Waterway at Mimosa Boulevard. We. appreciate
the early coordination with DCM to provide information relevant to the potential permitting of the
proposed project by our agency.
Based on the information provided in the scoping letter, it appears that Public Trust Area, Estuarine
Waters, and Coastal Shoreline Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs) will be impacted and a
Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) permit will be required. The scope of the project will
determine whether a LAMA General Permit or Major Development Permit is necessary to authorize
the work. The Town of Pine Knoll Shores and/or NCDOT are encouraged to coordinate with DCM
during the project development process to determine the appropriate permitting requirements for the
project. DCM recommends that the AEC impacts and the CAMA permitting requirements be
addressed in the Categorical Exclusion (CE) document.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at (919) 733-2293 x 230, or via e-mail at
steve.sollod@ncdenr.gov or contact Mr. Stephen Lane, DCM's Transportation Field Representative
for NCDOT's Divisions 2 and 3, at 252-808-2808 / 1-888-4RCOAST (1-888-472-6278). Thank you
for your consideration of the North Carolina Coastal Management Program.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Brian Kramer, Town Manager, Town of Pine Knoll Shores
FROM: David Wainwright, NCDWQ, Central Office,
SUBJECT: Scoping Review of Proposed Bridge Replacement Project B- 5001 (Carteret County),
In reply to your correspondence dated April 30, 2010 (received May 5, 2010) in which you requested
comments for the above referenced project, the NCDWQ offers the following comments:
I . Review of the project reveals the presence of surface waters classified as SA; High Quality Waters
of the State in the project study area. This is one of the highest classifications for water quality.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H . 1006 and 15A NCAC 2B .0224, NCDOT will be required to obtain a
State Stormwatei Permit prior to construction. While projects in North Carolina's twenty coastal
counties are exempt from the above rules, other stormwater requirements may be in effect and will
need to be adhered to.
2. Anyanticipated bank stabilization associated with the Bridge replacement --should be addressed•itr_the
Categorical Exclusion (CE) document. Itis uirderstood thaf final designs may'riot detei mined at the
time the CE is developed. However, the CE should discuss the potential for bank stabilization
necessary due to bridge replacement.
3. Any anticipated dewatering or access structures necessary for construction of bridges should be
addressed in the CE. It is understood that final designs are not determined at the time the CE is
developed. However, the CE should discuss the potential for dewatering and access measures
necessary due to bridge construction.
General Comments Regarding Bridge Replacement Projects
4. NCDWQ is very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that could result from this project.
These concerns shall be addressed by describing the potential impacts that may occur to the aquatic
environments and any mitigating factors that would reduce the impacts.
5. If foundation test borings are necessary; it shall be noted in the document. Geotechnical work is
approved under General 401 Certification Number 3687/Nationwide Permit No. 6 for Survey
Activities.

7. Whenever possible, NCDWQ prefers spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not
require work within the stream or grubbing of the streambanks and do not require stream channel
realignment. The horizontal and vertical clearances provided by bridges shall allow for human and
wildlife passage beneath the structure. Fish passage and navigation by canoeists and boaters shall not
be blocked. Bridge supports (bents) should not be placed in the stream when possible..
8. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Storrnwater shall be directed across
the bridge and pre-treated through site -appropriate means (grassed swales, pre -formed scour holes,
vegetated buffers, etc.) before entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of
NCDWQ's Stormwater Best .Management Practices.
9. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact
between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall
not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and
fish kills.
10. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. Disturbed areas shall be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and
appropriate native woody species shall be planted. When using temporary structures the area shall
be cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush -hogs, or other
mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact allows the area to re -vegetate
-naturally and minimizes soil disturbance.
1.1. Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to protect water resources must be implemented•
and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of North Carolina Sediment and Erosion.
Control Planning and Design Manual and the most recent version of NCS000250.
12: All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area unless otherwise..
" Approved by, NCI?.WQ: Approved BMP measures from the most current version:of NCDOT
Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags; rock.berms, cofferdams and
other -diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water:
13. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the bank rather than in stream channels in order to
minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into streams.. This
equipment shall be inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from
leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
14: In most cases, the NCDWQ prefers the replacement of the existing structure at the same location
with road.closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour shall be designed and located to
avoid wetland impacts, minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing stream banks. If
the structure will be on a new alignment, the old stricture shall be removed and the approach fills
removed from the I00 -year floodplain. Approach fills shall be removed and restored to the natural
ground elevation. The area shall be stabilized with grass and planted with native tree species. Tall
fescue shall not be used in riparian areas.
Thank you for requesting our input at this time. NCDOT is reminded that issuance of a 401 Water
Quality Certification requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water quality
standards are met and designated uses are not degraded or lost. If you have any questions or require
additional information, please contact David Wainwright at (919) 715-3415.

FROM: Travis Nilson, 'Highway Project Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: June 14, 2010
SUBJECT: Bridge Replacement
Biologists with the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the
information provided and have the following preliminaiy comments on the subject project. Our
comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act
(42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667d).
Our standard recommendations for bridge replacement projects of this scope are as
follows:
I . We generally prefer spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require
work within the stream and do not require stream channel realignment. The horizontal
and vertical clearances provided by bridges allows f6r human and wildlife passage
beneath the stnicture, does not block fish passage, and does not block navigation by
canoeists and boaters.
2. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the stream.
3. Live concrete should not be allowed to contact the water in or entering into the stream.
4. If possible, bridge supports (bents) should not be placed in the stream.
S. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, they should be removed back to
original ground elevations immediately upon the completion of the project. Disturbed
areas should be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and native tree species should
be planted with a spacing of not more than 10'x10'. T F possible, when using tenaporary

structures the area should be cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain
saws, mowers, bush -hogs, or other mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and
root mat intact, allows the area to revegetate naturally and minimizes disturbed soil,
6. A clear bank (riprap free) area of at least 10 feet should remain on each side of the
steam underneath the bridge.
7. in trout waters, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission reviews all U.S. Anny
Corps ,6f Engineers nationwide and general `404' permits. We have the option of
requesting additional measures to protect trout and trout habitat and we can
recommend that the project require an individual `404' pernlit.
8. In streams that contain threatened or endangered species, NCDOT biologist Mr.
Logan Williams should be notified. Special measures to protect these sensitive species
may be .required. NCDOT should also contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for
information on requirements of the Endangered Species Act as it relates to the project.
9. In streams that are used by anadromous fish, the NCDOT official policy entitled
"Stream Crossing Guidelines for Anadromous Fish Passage (May 12, 1997)" should
be followed.
10. Sedimentation and erosion control measures sufficient to protect aquatic resources
must be implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities. Structures should be
maintained regularly, especially following rainfall events.
11. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil
within 1.5 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control.
12. All work in or adjacent to stream waters should be conducted in a dry work area.
Sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, or other diversion structures should be used where
possible to prevent excavation in flowing water.
13. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in stream channels in
order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other
pollutants into streams.
14. Only clean, sediment -free rock should be used as temporary fill (causeways), and
should be removed without excessive disturbance of the natural stream bottom when
construction is completed.
15. During subsurface investigations, equipment should be inspected Baily and
maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels, lubricants,
hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
If corrugated metal pipe arches, reinforced concrete pipes, or concrete box culverts are
used:
1. The culvert. must be designed to allow for aquatic Iife and fish passage. Generally, the
culvert or pipe invert should be buried at least I foot below the natural streambed
(measured from the natural thalweg depth). If multiple barrels are required, barrels
other than the base flow barrel(s) should be placed on or near stream: bankfull or
floodplain bench elevation (similar to Lyonsfield design). These should be
Bridge Memo Pave 3 June 14, 2010
reconnected to floodplain benches as appropriate. This may be accomplished by
utilizing sills on the upstream and downstream ends to restrict or divert flow to the
base flow barrel(s). Silled barrels should be filled with sediment so as not to cause
noxious or mosquito breeding conditions, Sufficient water depth should be provided
in the base flow barrel(s) during low flows to acconnnodate fish movement. If
culverts are longer than 40-50 linear feet, alternating or notched baffles should be
installed in a manner that mimics existing stream pattern. This should enhance
aquatic .life passage: 1) by depositing sediments in the barrel, 2) by maintaining
channel depth and flow regimes, and 3) by providing resting places for fish and other
aquatic organisms. In essence, base flow barrel(s) should provide a continuum of
water depth and channel width without substantial modifications of velocity.
2. If multiple pipes or cells are used, at least one pipe or box should be designed to
remain dry during normal flows to allow for wildlife passage.
3. Culverts or pipes should be situated along the existing channel alignment whenever
possible to avoid channel realignment. Widening the stream channel must be avoided.
Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases
water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and
disrupts aquatic life passage.
4. Riprap should not be placed in the active thalweg charnel or placed in the streambed
in a manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures
should be professionally designed, sized, and installed.
In most cases, we prefer the replacement of the existing structure at the same location
with road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour should be designed and
located to avoid wetland impacts, minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing
stream banks. If the structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure should be removed
and the approach fills removed from the 100 -year floodplain. Approach fills should be removed
down to the natural ground elevation. The area should be stabilized with grass and planted with
native tree species. If the area reclaimed was previously wetlands, NCDOT should restore the
area to wetlands. If successful, the site may be utilized as mitigation for the subject project or
other projects in the watershed.
Project specific comments:
13-5001: Carteret County, replace bridge No. 47 in Pine Knoll Shores over the Pine Knoll
Waterway: This area is characterized by higher salinity water primarily supporting species under
the jurisdiction of the NC Division of Marine Fisheries; therefore NCDOT should coordinate
with NCDMF to address impacts to aquatic species. We recommend replacing this bridge with a
bridge. Standard reconunendations apply.
If you need further assistance or information on NCWRC concerns regarding bridge
replacements, please contact me at (919) 528-9886. Thank you for the opportunity to review and

Subject: Replacement of Bridge No. 47/Mimosa Boulevard over the Pine Knoll
Waterway, Town of Pine Knoll Shores, Carteret County
Dear Mr. Jordan:
The Town of Pine Knoll Shores and the North Carolina Department of
Transportation are proposing the replacement of the Mimosa Boulevard bridge over
the Pine Knoll Waterway and the widening of the Waterway where it narrows under
the bridge (replacement of bulkheads/sea walls) in the Town of Pine Knoll Shores,
in Carteret County. The proposed project will receive federal funds (administered
by NCDOT) with a local funding match. This project is included in the 2009-2015
NCDOT State ?Transportation Improvement Program as Project B-5001. A project

The project is classified as a Federal Categorical Exclusion (CE). The following
discussion regarding federally protected species has been included in the CE being
prepared for the project. As discussed, protected species not requiring a biological
conclusion due to similarity of appearance (American alligator), species that are no
longer federally protected for Carteret County (eastern cougar), or species that were
determined to have no suitable habitat within the project area and therefore issued a
"no effect" biological conclusion (piping plover, red -cockaded woodpecker, roseate
tern, shortnose sturgeon, rough -leaved loosestrife were not included as part of
concurrence request.
Based upon our discussion, it is our understanding that the USFWS and NOAA-
National Marine Fisheries (NMP) jointly administer the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) with respect to marine turtles with the USFWS having jurisdiction over
nesting habitats (land) and NMF having jurisdiction in the marine environment
(water). Because no beach habitat occurs within the project area, the USFWS
would render a "no effect" determinations for the sea turtle species identified below.
Concurrence on determinations for foraging habitat or the marine environment
would be required from the NMF.

Green sea turtle: Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Ocean beach habitat does not occur within the project area. Therefore, suitable nesting
habitat for the green sea turtle does not exist within the project area. Sea turtles are known
to forage in Bogue Sound during the warm summer months. Suitable foraging habitat for
the green sea turtle does exist in the project area within the Pine Knoll Waterway. A review
of NCNHP database records, accessed 8/19/10, indicates no known green sea turtle
occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project. The proposed widening of the waterway will be
accomplished by constructing new seawalls behind the existing seawalls, leaving the
existing seawalls intact during construction. No dredging, channel realignment, or barging
is proposed as part of the project construction.
Kemp's ridley sea turtle; Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Ocean beach habitat does not occur within the project area. Therefore, suitable nesting
habitat for Kemp's ridley sea turtle does not exist within the project area. Sea turtles are
known to forage in Bogue Sound during the warm summer months. Suitable foraging
habitat for the Kemp's ridley sea turtle does exist in the project area within the Pine Knoll
Waterway. A review of NCNHP database records, accessed 8/19/10, indicates no known
Kemp's ridley sea turtle occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project. The proposed widening
of the waterway will be accomplished by constructing new seawalls behind the existing
seawalls, leaving the existing seawalls intact during construction. No dredging, channel
realignment, or barging is proposed as part of the project construction.
Leatherback sea turtle:. Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Ocean beach habitat does not occur within the project area; therefore, suitable nesting
habitat for the leatherback sea turtle does not exist within the project area. Sea turtles are
known to forage in .Bogue Sound during the warm summer months. Suitable foraging
habitat for the leatherback sea turtle does exist in the project area within the Pine Knoll
Waterway. A review of NCNHP database records, accessed 8/19/10, indicates no known
leatherback sea turtle occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project. The proposed widening of
the waterway will be accomplished by constructing new seawalls behind the existing
seawalls, leaving the existing seawalls intact during construction. No dredging, channel
realignment, or barging is proposed as part of the project construction.
Loggerhead sea turtle: Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Ocean beach habitat does not occur within the project area. Therefore, suitable nesting
habitat for the loggerhead sea turtle does not exist within the project area. Sea turtles are
known to forage in Bogue Sound during the warm summer months. Suitable foraging
habitat for the loggerhead sea turtle does exist in the project area within the Pine Knoll
Waterway. A review of NCNHP database records, accessed 8/19/10, indicates documented
loggerhead sea turtle occurrences within 1.0 mile of the project area along the Bogue Bank
beach area. The proposed widening of the waterway will be accomplished by constructing
new seawalls behind the existing seawalls, leaving the existing seawalls intact during
construction. No dredging, channel realignment, or barging is proposed as part of the
project construction.

West Indian manatee: Biological Conclusion: May Affect — Not Likely to Adversely
Affect
The West Indian manatee is known to forage in Bogue Sound during the warm summer
months. Suitable foraging habitat for the West Indian manatee does exist in the project area
within the Pine Knoll Waterway. Precautionary measures for construction activities in
North Carolina waters used by the manatee have been outlined by flee Raleigh Field Office
of the USFWS. If the Guidelines for Avoiding Impacts to the West Indian Manatee
(USFWS, 2003) are implemented by the contractor during construction, the project should
not have an adverse impact to manatee. The proposed widening of the waterway will be
accomplished by constructing new seawalls behind the existing seawalls, leaving the
existing seawalls intact during construction. No dredging, channel realignment, or barging
is proposed as part of the project construction. A review of NCNHP database records,
accessed 8/19/10, indicates no known West Indian manatee occurrences within 1.0 mile of
the project. Due to ,the presence of potentially suitable habitat, the replacement of Bridge
No. 47 may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the West Indian manatee.
Please call me at (919) 677- 2073 if you have any questions or need any additional
information for your concurrence.
Thank you for your assistance with this project.

Dear Ms. Reed:
This letter is in response to your letter of April 15, 2011 which provided the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) with the biological conclusion of the North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) and the Town of Pine Knoll Shores that the replacement of Bridge No. 47 on Mimosa
Boulevard over the Pine Knoll Waterway in Carteret County (TIP No. B-5001) may affect, but is not
likely to adversely affect the federally endangered West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus). In
addition, NCDOT and Pine Knoll Shores has determined that the project will have no effect on all other
federally listed species within the purview of the Service. These comments are provided in accordance
with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).
According to the information submitted, the Service's GUIDELINES FOR AVOIDING IMPACTS TO
TAE WEST INDIAN MANATEE: Precautionary Measures for Construction Activities in North
Carolina Waters will be implemented during construction.. Based on this commitment and upon other
available information, the Service concurs with your conclusion that the project may affect, but is not
likely to adversely affect the West Indian manatee. Due to the lack of suitable habitat, the Service
concurs with your conclusion that the project will have no effect on all other federally listed species
within our purview (to include all species of sea turtles while nesting). However, please note that the
National Marine Fisheries Service has purview over the shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) and
all species of.sea turtles while in the water.
We believe that the requirements of Sectiop. 7(a)(2).of the ESA have been satisfied for those species
within our purview. We remind you that obligations under Section -7 consultation must be reconsidered
if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical
habitat .in a manner not previously considered in this review; (2) this action is subsequently modified in a
manner that was not considered in this review; or. (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined
that may be affected by this identified action.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to review this project.. If you have any questions regarding our
response, please contact Mr. Gary Jordan at (91.9) 85,6-4520 (Ext. 32).
