Re: Waterstreet Bridge Replacement -Bridge No. 324
CAMA- General and Nationwide Permit #23 Application Package ( Updated)
Belhaven, Beaufort County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Lane:
On behalf of the Town of Belhaven, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. is submitting the
enclosed Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) General Permit application (updated
10/2/2012) for impacts to Public Trust Waters (Wynn's Gut) and Tar -Pamlico riparian buffers
associated with the replacement of the Water Street Bridge (No. 324) in Belhaven, Beaufort
County, North Carolina. This project is included in the 2009-2015 NCDOT Transportation
Improvement Program as Project B-4500. A Programmatic Categorical Exclusion has been
approved for this project and signed by NCDOT (9/2/10) and FHWA (9/16/10). Field review of
the project area was conducted by the USACE (Tom Steffens), NCDWQ (Garcy Ward), and
NCDCM (Stephen Lane) on July 22, 2010. As of the date of this submittal, this project has
received written approval for the 404 Nationwide Permit Number 23, 401 Water Quality
Certification (3891) with Tar -Pamlico Buffer Authorization, and U.S. Coast Guard Advanced
Approval.
The following information is included as part of this application submittal:
• Application for Major Development Permit (DCM MP -1)
• Project Narrative
• Excavation and Fill (DCM-MP2) form
• Bridges and Culverts (DCM-MP5) form
• Location Map (Plan Sheet 1 of 5)
• Plan Sheets (Sheets 2-5)
• Agent Authorization Form
• Adjacent Riparian Property Owner Notification Forms (Signed Copies)
• Agency Approvals (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Coast Guard, N.C. Division of
Water Quality, Ecosystem Enhancement Program)
• Programmatic Categorical Exclusion (signed)
• Original Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) Application
NCDOT Bridge Management Unit records indicate Bridge No. 324, constructed in 1940, has a
sufficiency rating of 22.6 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The posted weight limit on
the bridge is down to 8 tons for single vehicles and 14 tons for truck -tractor semi -trailers. The
bridge is considered structurally deficient.
The purpose of this project is to replace the Water Street Bridge (Bridge #324) over Wynn's Gut,
a tributary of Pantego Creek. The current bulkheads under the bridge are part of the existing
structure and will also be replaced. Bridge No. 324 is constructed of timber and steel and should
be possible to remove with no resulting debris in the water based on standard demolition
practices. The bridge will be replaced on the existing alignment with traffic being detoured
offsite during the construction period.
The project site begins in front of the Pungo District Hospital and proceeds in a southeast
direction across the tributary to the intersection with Wynn's Gut Lane before ending in front of
the building for the Community Developers of Beaufort. In addition to the bridge replacement,
this project will also consist of new grading and paving for the locations immediately
surrounding the bridge to tie the new bridge to the existing roadway.
The site consists of areas along Water Street and the bridge carrying Water Street across Wynn's
Gut. The main drainageway for the area is Wynn's Gut. Wynn's Gut flows to Pantego Creek
which flows to the Pungo River which ultimately discharges into the Pamlico Sound. Land use
in the vicinity of the site is urban including the Pungo District Hospital to the west, the marina to
the east, residential and commercial development to the north, and open water to the south.
All the soils in this area are classified as urban land (Ur) with more than 85 percent of the surface
area covered with streets, buildings, parking lots, and airports. This area has been greatly altered
by cutting, filling, grading, and shaping. Slopes range from 0-6 percent.
The project is approximately 0.06 miles in length. Approximately 0.21 acres will be disturbed
during the construction of this project. Bridge No. 324 is 52 feet long. The replacement structure
will be a bridge of 51.5 feet in length. The current bulkheads under the bridge will be replaced.
The proposed bridge will include two 11 -foot lanes, curb and gutter, and 5 -foot sidewalks on
both sides. The roadway grade of the new structure will be approximately the same as the
existing structure, varying one foot or less for the existing ground. In addition, approximately
0.09 acres will be stabilized with grass and permanent plantings.
Authorization is being requested for 0.042 acre of temporary impact to Public Trust Area
(Wynn's Gut) associated with the removal of the existing 3 span bridge which is being replaced
with a single span structure and 0.016 acre of permanent impact associated with fill required for
the bulkhead replacement. In addition, the bridge replacement will impact 1,581 sq ft. of Zone 1
Tar -Pamlico riparian buffers and 609 sq ft. of Zone 2 buffer. Mitigation for buffer impacts will
be provided by the Ecosystem Enhancement Program. There are no jurisdictional wetlands
located within the project area.

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.
7. The use of rip -rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip -rap placed for stream stabilization shall be
placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
8. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or protected
riparian buffers.
9. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing shall not be modified. Disturbed floodplains and
streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
10. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and
reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
11. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent contamination of
stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
12. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this certification.
13. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is prohibited.
14. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise authorized by this
certification.
15. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this certification shall be
clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the fencing are prohibited
unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
16. Native riparian vegetation (ex. list trees and shrubs native to your geographic region) must be reestablished within the
construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction.
17. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into, jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this certification
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located in wetlands
or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities.

governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best
Management Practices and if applicable, comply with the specific conditions and
requirements of the NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit issued to the site:
a. Design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control
measures must be such that they equal or exceed the requirements specified in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices
shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects,
including contractor -owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
b. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed,
installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
c. Reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in
accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and the
Mining Act of 1971.
d. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures
and stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
e. If the project occurs in waters or watersheds classified as Primary Nursery Areas (PNAs),
SA, WS -I, WS -II, High Quality (HQW), or Outstanding Resource (ORW) waters, then the
sedimentation and erosion control designs must comply with the requirements set forth
in 15A NCAC 04B.0124, Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds.
3. No Sediment and Erosion Control Measures in Wetlands or Waters
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters.
Exceptions to this condition require application submittal to and written approval by the
Division. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, then design and placement of temporary erosion control measures shall not be
conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands, stream beds, or banks,
adjacent to or upstream and downstream of the above structures. All sediment and erosion
control devices shall be removed and the natural grade restored within two (2) months of the
date that the Division of Land Resources (DLR) or locally delegated program has released
the specific area within the project.
4. Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000
Water Quality Certification No. 3891
Water Quality Certification No. 3891
An NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit is required for construction projects that disturb
one (1) or more acres of land. This Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land
disturbing construction activities as stipulated in the conditions of the permit. If your project
is covered by this permit, full compliance with permit conditions including the erosion &
sedimentation control plan, inspections and maintenance, self-monitoring, record keeping
and reporting requirements is required. A copy of the general permit (NCG010000),
inspection log sheets, and other information may be found at
http://Portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/Ws/su/npdessw#tab-w.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) shall be required to be in full
compliance with the conditions related to construction activities within the most recent version
of their individual NPDES (NCS000250) stormwater permit.
5. Construction Moratoriums and Coordination
If activities must occur during periods of high biological activity (i.e. sea turtle nesting, fish
spawning, or bird nesting), then biological monitoring may be required at the request of other
state or federal agencies and coordinated with these activities.
All moratoriums on construction activities established by the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission (WRC), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), NC Division of Marine Fisheries
(DMF), or National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to lessen impacts on trout, anadromous
fish, larval/post-larval fishes and crustaceans, or other aquatic species of concern shall be
implemented. Exceptions to this condition require written approval by the resource agency
responsible for the given moratorium.
Work within the twenty-five (25) designated trout counties or identified state or federal
endangered or threatened species habitat shall be coordinated with the appropriate WRC,
USFWS, NMFS, and/or DMF personnel.
6. Work in the Dry
All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted so that the flowing stream does
not come in contact with the disturbed area. Approved best management practices from the
most current version of the NC Sediment and Erosion Control Manual, or the NC DOT
Construction and Maintenance Activities Manual, such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams,
and other diversion structures shall be used to minimize excavation in flowing water.
Exceptions to this condition require application submittal to and written approval by the
Division.
7. Riparian Area Protection (Buffer) Rules
Activities located in the protected riparian areas (whether jurisdictional wetlands or not),
within the Neuse, Tar -Pamlico, or Catawba River Basins or in the Randleman, Jordan, or
Goose Creek Watersheds (or any other basin or watershed with buffer rules) shall be limited
to "uses" identified within and constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0233-0259,
.0243, .0250, .0267 and .0605, and shall be located, designed, constructed, and maintained
to have minimal disturbance to protect water quality to the maximum extent practicable
through the use of best management practices. All buffer rule requirements, including diffuse
flow requirements, must be met.
8. If concrete is used during the construction, then all necessary measures shall be taken to
prevent direct contact between uncured or curing concrete and waters of the state. Water
that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to waters of the state
due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life/ fish kills.
Water Quality Certification No. 3891
Water Quality Certification No. 3891
9. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Stormwater 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 Stormwater Best Management Practices. Exceptions to this condition
requires written approval by the Division.
10. Relocated stream designs should include the same dimensions, patterns, and profiles as the
existing channel (or a stable reference reach if the existing channel is unstable), to the
maximum extent practical. The new channel should be constructed in the dry and water shall
not be turned into the new channel until the banks are stabilized. Vegetation used for bank
stabilization shall be limited to native woody species, and should include establishment of a
30 -foot wide wooded and an adjacent 20 -foot wide vegetated buffer on both sides of the
relocated channel to the maximum extent practical_ A transitional phase incorporating
appropriate erosion control matting materials and seedling establishment is allowable,
however matting that incorporates plastic mesh and/or plastic twine shall not be used in
wetlands, riparian buffers or floodplains as recommended by the North Carolina Sediment
and Erosion Control Manual. Rip -rap, A -Jacks, concrete, gabions or other hard structures
may be allowed if it is necessary to maintain the physical integrity of the stream; however, the
applicant must provide written justification and any calculations used to determine the extent
of rip -rap coverage. Please note that if the stream relocation is conducted as a stream
restoration as defined in the US Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District, April 2003
Stream Mitigation Guidelines (or its subsequent updates), the restored length may be used
as compensatory mitigation for the impacts resulting from the relocation.
11. Placement of Culverts and Other Structures in Waters and Wetlands
Culverts required for this project shall be designed and installed in such a manner that the
original stream profiles are not altered and allow for aquatic life movement during low flows.
Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal
profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert.
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters and streams must be below the
elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches,
and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than or equal to 48
inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life.
When topographic constraints indicate culvert slopes of greater than 5%, culvert burial is not
required, provided that all alternative options for flattening the slope have been investigated
and aquatic life movement/ connectivity has been provided when possible (rock ladders,
crossvanes, etc). Notification to the Division including supporting documentation to include a
location map of the culvert, culvert profile drawings, and slope calculations shall be provided
to the Division 60 days prior to the installation of the culvert.
When bedrock is present in culvert locations, culvert burial is not required provided that there
is sufficient documentation of the presence of bedrock. Notification to the Division including
supporting documentation such as, but not limited to, a location map of the culvert,
geotechnical reports, photographs, etc shall be provided to the Division a minimum of 60
days prior to the installation of the culvert. If bedrock is discovered during construction, then
the Division shall be notified by phone or email within 24 hours of discovery.
If other site-specific topographic constraints preclude the ability to bury the culverts as
described above and/or it can be demonstrated that burying the culvert would result in
destabilization of the channel, then exceptions to this condition require application submittal
to, and written approval by, the Division of Water Quality, regardless of the total impacts to
streams or wetlands from the project_
Water Quality Certification No. 3891 4
Water Quality Certification No. 8891
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be
designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. Additionally, when
roadways, causeways, or other fill projects are constructed across FEMA -designated
floodways or wetlands, openings such as culverts or bridges must be provided to maintain
the natural hydrology of the system as wel! as prevent constriction of the flood:■gay that may
result in destabilization of streams or wetlands.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization
techniques must be used where practicable instead of riprap or other bank hardening
methods.
12. Compensatory Mitigation
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (h), compensatory mitigation may be required for
losses of equal to or greater than 150 linear feet of streams (intermittent and perennial)
and/or equal to or greater than one (1) acre of wetlands. For linear public transportation
projects, impacts equal to or exceeding 150 linear feet per stream shall require mitigation.
Buffer mitigation may be required for any project with Buffer Rules in effect at the time of
application for activities classified as "Allowable with Mitigation" or "Prohibited" within the
Table of Uses.
A determination of buffer, wetland, and stream mitigation requirements shall be made for any
General Water Quality Certification for this Nationwide and/or Regional General Permit.
Design and monitoring protocols shall follow the US Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington
District Stream Mitigation Guidelines (April 2003) or its subsequent updates. Compensatory
mitigation plans shall be submitted to the Division for written approval as required in those
protocols. The mitigation plan must be implemented and/or constructed before any impacts
occur on site. Alternatively, the Division will accept payment into an in -lieu fee program or a
mitigation bank. In these cases, proof of payment shall be provided to the Division before
any impacts occur on site.
13. If an environmental document is required under the National or State Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA or SEPA), then this General Certification is not valid until a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) or Record of Decision (ROD) is issued by the State
Clearinghouse.
14. In the twenty (20) coastal counties, the appropriate DWQ Regional Office must be contacted
to determine if Coastal Stormwater Regulations will be required_
15. This General Certification does not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to obtain all other
required Federal, State, or Local approvals.
16. The applicant/permittee and their authorized agents shall conduct all activities in a manner
consistent with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from
compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act), and any other appropriate requirements of
State and Federal Law. If the Division determines that such standards or laws are not being
met, including failure to sustain a designated or achieved use, or that State or Federal law is
being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, then the
Division may reevaluate and modify this General Water Quality Certification.

be added to the written approval letter for projects proposed under this Water Quality
Certification in order to ensure compliance with all applicable water quality and effluent
standards.
19. This certification grants permission to the director, an authorized representative of the
Director, or DENR staff, upon the presentation of proper credentials, to enter the property
during normal business hours.
This General Certification shall expire on the same day as the expiration date of the
corresponding Nationwide and/or Regional General Permit. The conditions in effect on the date
of issuance of Certification for a specific project shall remain in effect for the life of the project,
regardless of the expiration date of this Certification.
Non-compliance with or violation of the conditions herein set forth by a specific project may result
in revocation of this General Certification for the project and may also result in criminal and/or civil
penalties.
The Director of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality may require submission of a formal
application for Individual Certification for any project in this category of activity if it is determined
that the project is likely to have a significant adverse effect upon water quality, including state or
federally listed endangered or threatened aquatic species, or degrade the waters so that existing
uses of the wetland or downstream waters are precluded.
Public hearings may be held for specific applications or group of applications prior to a
Certification decision if deemed in the public's best interest by the Director of the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality.

Dear Ms. Reed
Review of your proposed bridge replacement project is complete. Based on the documentation
provided and that no comments were received to Public Notice 5-1233, it is determined that a
formal Coast Guard bridge permit will not be required for the proposed replacement of the
Water Street Bridge across Wynn's Gut, mile 0.1, at Belhaven, Beaufort County, NC. The
project will be placed in our Advance Approval category as per Title 33 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 115.70. This Advance Approval determination is for the location and
construction of the Water Street Bridge across Wynn's Gut, mile 0.1 and is valid for five years
from the date of this letter. If the construction does not commence within this time period, you
must contact this office for reaffirmation of this authorization. Future bridge projects along the
same waterway will have to be independently evaluated before they may be considered for
Advance Approval.
The fact that a Coast Guard bridge permit is not required does not relieve you of the
responsibility for compliance with the requirements of any other Federal, State, or local agency
who may have jurisdiction over any aspect of the project.
Although the project will not require a bridge permit, other areas of Coast Guard jurisdiction
apply. The following must be met:
a. This office should be notified as soon as possible to commencement and completion of
bridgework so that appropriate announcements may be prepared.
The lowest portion of the superstructure of the bridge across the waterway should clear
the 100 -year flood height elevation, if feasible.
The National Ocean Service (NOS) of the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration
(NOAA) is responsible for maintaining the charts of U.S. waters; therefore, they must be notified
of this proposed work. You must notify our office and the NOS upon completion of the activity
approved in this letter. Your notification of completion must include as -built drawings, which
certifies the location and clearance of the bridge that was constructed. This information will be
sent to the following address:

A. Project Description:
B-4500
B501450
33733.1.1
BRZ-0210(7)
The purpose of this project is to replace Bridge No. 324, carrying Water Street over Wynn's Gut,
a tributary of Pantego Creek and the Pungo River, in Belhaven, Beaufort County. Bridge No. 324
is 52 feet long. The replacement structure will be a bridge 51.5 feet long. The current
bulkheads under the bridge are a part of the existing structure and will also be replaced. The
bridge will include two 11 -foot lanes, curb and gutter, and 5 -foot sidewalks on both sides. The
roadway grade of the new structure will be approximately the same as the existing structure,
varying one foot or less from the existing ground.
The approach roadway will extend approximately 100 feet from the west end of the new bridge
and 125 feet from the east end of the new bridge. The approaches will include a 24 -foot
pavement width providing two travel lanes no wider than 12 feet. Curb and gutter and five-
foot wide sidewalks will be provided on each side. The roadway is a local collector and will be
designed with a 25 mile per hour design speed.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 include study area mapping and project photos. Traffic will be detoured off-
site during construction.
B. Purpose and Need:
NCDOT Bridge Management Unit records indicate Bridge No. 324 has a sufficiency rating of 22.6
out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The posted weight limit on the bridge is down to 8
tons for single vehicles and 14 tons for truck -tractor semi -trailers. The bridge is considered
structurally deficient. It has a structure condition appraisal of 2 out of 9 (Item 67 on the Bridge
Inspection Report). According to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards, the bridge
is eligible for FHWA's Highway Bridge Program.
The superstructure of Bridge No. 324 is made of a reinforced concrete floor on timber joists and
steel I -beams. The substructure consists of timber caps on timber piles. Timber components
have a typical life expectancy between 40 to 50 years due to the natural deterioration rate of
wood. Rehabilitation of a timber structure is generally practical only when a few elements are
damaged or prematurely deteriorated. However, past a certain degree of deterioration, most
timber elements become impractical to maintain and upon eligibility are programmed for
replacement. Structural components of bridge No. 324 are experiencing an increasing degree
of deterioration that can no longer be addressed by reasonable maintenance activities, and the
bridge is approaching the end of its useful life.
C. Proposed Improvements:
Circle one or more of the following Type Il improvements which apply to the project:
1. Modernization of a highway by resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation, reconstruction,
adding shoulders, or adding auxiliary lanes (e.g., parking, weaving, turning, climbing).

4. Transportation corridor fringe parking facilities.
5. Construction of new truck weigh stations or rest areas.
6. Approvals for disposal of excess right-of-way or for joint or limited use of right-of-way,
where the proposed use does not have significant adverse impacts.
7. Approvals for changes in access control.
8. Construction of new bus storage and maintenance facilities in areas used predominantly
for industrial or transportation purposes where such construction is not inconsistent
with existing zoning and located on or near a street with adequate capacity to handle
anticipated bus and support vehicle traffic.
9. Rehabilitation or reconstruction of existing rail and bus buildings and ancillary facilities
where only minor amounts of additional land are required and there is not a substantial
increase in the number of users.
10. Construction of bus transfer facilities (an open area consisting of passenger shelters,
boarding areas, kiosks and related street improvements) when located in a commercial
area or other high activity center in which there is adequate street capacity for
projected bus traffic.
11. Construction of rail storage and maintenance facilities in areas used predominantly for
industrial or transportation purposes where such construction is not inconsistent with
existing zoning and where there is no significant noise impact on the surrounding
community.
12. Acquisition of land for hardship or protective purposes, advance land acquisition loans
under section 3(b) of the UMT Act. Hardship and protective buying will be permitted
only for a particular parcel or a limited number of parcels. These types of land
acquisition qualify for a CE only where the acquisition will not limit the evaluation of
alternatives, including shifts in alignment for planned construction projects, which may
be required in the NEPA process. No project development on such land may proceed
until the NEPA process has been completed.
13. Acquisition and construction of wetland, stream and endangered species mitigation
sites.
14. Remedial activities involving the removal, treatment or monitoring of soil or
groundwater contamination pursuant to state or federal remediation guidelines.
D. Special Proiect Information:
The estimated costs, based on the 2009-2015 STIP, are as follows:
Prior Year's Cost $120,000
Right of Way $50,000
Construction $500,000
Total $670,000
Estimated Traffic:
Current - <400 vpd
Year 2030 - <400 vpd
Estimated TTST/Dual: 7%
Design Exceptions: There are no anticipated design exceptions for this project.
Bicycle Designation: This portion of Water Street is not a part of a designated bicycle route nor
is it listed in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) as a bicycle project.
Bridge Demolition: Bridge No. 324 is constructed of timber and steel and should be possible to
remove with no resulting debris in the water based on standard demolition practices.
Alternatives Discussion:
No Build — The no build alternative would result in eventually closing the road which is
unacceptable given the Town of Belhaven's commitment to maintain the bridge and preserve
the connectivity along Water Street.
Rehabilitation — The bridge was constructed in 1940, and the timber materials within the
bridge are reaching the end of their useful life. Rehabilitation would require replacing the
timber components which would constitute effectively replacing the bridge.
Offsite Detour — Bridge No. 324 will be replaced on the existing alignment. Traffic will be
detoured offsite (see Figure 2) during the construction period. NCDOT Guidelines 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 Pamlico Street, Main Street, and Allen
Road. The majority of traffic on the road is through traffic. The detour for the average road
user would result in two minutes or less of additional travel time (0.3 miles additional travel). A
9 to 12 -month duration of construction is expected on this project.
Based on the Guidelines, the criteria above indicate that on the basis of delay alone the detour
is acceptable. A representative of Pungo District Hospital (located adjacent to the bridge on the
west side) attended the Citizens Informational Workshop (described below/next page) and
indicated that the detour is acceptable. The hospital's emergency room entrance is located on
the west side of the hospital near Allen Street, and emergency responders arriving from areas
east of Belhaven primarily use Main Street and Allen Street.
Onsite Detour — An onsite detour was not evaluated due to the presence of an acceptable
offsite detour.
Staged Construction — Staged construction would require a temporary bridge beside the
existing roadway alignment, an additional cost for the temporary bridge, and extra right of way.
The existing bridge is not wide enough to phase construction. This option was not considered
further since an acceptable offsite detour is available.
New Alignment — Given that the alignment for Water Street is acceptable, a new alignment was
not considered as an alternative.
Natural Resources:
An Environmental Screening Report was prepared in April 2010. Field investigations by Kimley-
Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) staff were conducted on December 4, 2009.
Wetlands — Field investigations by KHA staff determined that no wetland areas are located
within the project study area.
Public Involvement:
A Citizens Informational Workshop was held on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at the Belhaven
Town Hall. Eleven citizens attended, and two comment sheets were received. Adjoining
property owners requested that the navigable waterway remain high/wide enough for existing
boat traffic to continue use after the bridge is replaced. The second written comment received
expressed concern over frequent flooding in Belhaven, suggesting flood gates under this bridge.
Permits:
The US Coast Guard is responsible for administering Section 9 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. A
Section 9 permit is required for construction or modification of all bridges spanning navigable
waters. In lieu of the Coast Guard Bridge Permit, an Advance Approval (AA) process has been
established to reduce the permit burden for bridges over waterways in which only small craft
navigate and that typically have no adverse effects on the environment. Based upon
correspondence with the Coast Guard and NCDOT Natural Environment Unit staff, it is
anticipated that this project will follow the AA process.
Other Agency Comments:
The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) provided a project -specific
comment that the area around B-4500 is characterized by higher salinity water primarily
supporting species under the jurisdiction of the NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF).
Coordination should be initiated with NCDMF to address impacts to aquatic species. NCWRC
recommends replacing this bridge with a bridge. Standard recommendations apply. According
to subsequent correspondence with NCDMF and NCWRC (documented in the Environmental
Screening Report, April 2010), the project study area is not designated as anadromous fish
spawning habitat or a primary nursery area.
The NCDENR Division of Water Quality (NCDENR-DWQ) provided the following project -specific
comments:
- Wynn's Gut is classified as an SC, NSW stream and is listed on the current 303(d) list for
Chlorophyll a.
- Pantego Creek and associated tributaries, including Wynn's Gut, are class SC, NSW
waters of the State. NCDWQ is very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that
could result from this project. The NCDWQ recommends that highly protective
sediment and erosion control BMPs be implemented to reduce the risk of nutrient
runoff to Wynn's Gut. The NCDWQ requests that road design plans provide treatment
of the storm water runoff through best management practices as detailed in the most
recent version of NCDWQ's Stormwater Best Management Practices.
- This project is within the Tar -Pamlico River Basin. Riparian buffer impacts shall be
avoided and minimized to the greatest extent possible pursuant to 15A NCAC 26.0259.

F. Additional Documentation Required for Unfavorable Responses in Part E
Response to Question 2: Manatees are considered seasonal inhabitants of North Carolina
typically occurring in June through October. This species inhabits a
variety of habitats including shallow coastal bays, lagoons, estuaries,
and inland rivers of varying salinity. Manatees typically inhabit
waters with depths ranging from 1.5 to 6 meters (about 5 to 20 feet).
Although water depths within the project study area are marginally
sufficient for manatee (the average water depth at the bridge is
approximately 3.3 feet and transitions to 5.3 feet about 100 feet
downstream of the bridge), according to the US Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS), Wynn's Gut would be considered suitable habitat
for manatee. The USFWS has prepared precautionary measures for
construction activities in waters used by manatee (Guidelines for
Avoiding Impacts to the West Indian Manatee, lune 2003). According
to USFWS, if these guidelines are implemented by the contractor
during construction, the project should not have an adverse impact to
manatee. Correspondence with USFWS indicating concurrence with a
Biological Conclusion of No Effect and the above referenced
document are attached.
* Clarification for Question 10: The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources — Division of Coastal Management (NCDENR-DCM)
commented that it "appears that Public Trust Area and Public Trust
Shoreline Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs) will be impacted
and a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) permit will be required."
It is anticipated that the proposed bridge replacement will qualify for
authorization under a CAMA General Permit with no significant
effects to any AEC.
Response to Questions 28 / 30: Bridge No. 324 is located on the edge of the Belhaven Historic
District, a property eligible for listing in the National Register of
Historic Places. Through coordination with the State Historic
Preservation Office (HPO) and Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA), FHWA intends to make a de minimis ruling based on the HPO
concurrence that this project will have "no adverse effect" on the
Belhaven Historic District. HPO has concurred with this finding and
issued a "no adverse effect" call based on the use of the Texas Classic
rail and 8 -inch non -mountable curb along the bridge.
Correspondence and a drawing/plan sheet are attached.

Project Description:
The purpose of this project is to replace Bridge No. 324, carrying Water Street over Wynn's Gut,
a tributary of Pantego Creek and the Pungo River, in Belhaven, Beaufort County, Bridge No. 324
is 52 feet long. The replacement structure will be a bridge 51.5 feet long. The current

Re: Waterstreet Bridge Replacement -Bridge No. 324
Nationwide Permit #23 Application Submittal
Belhaven, Beaufort County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Steffens and Mr. Ward:
On behalf of the Town of Belhaven, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. is submitting the enclosed joint
404/401 Preconstruction Notification Application and Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Request
for authorization to construct the above referenced project under a Nationwide Permit #23 and General
Water Quality Certification #3701. This project is included in the 2009-2015 NCDOT Transportation
Improvement Program as Project B-4500. A Programmatic Categorical Exclusion has been approved for
this project and signed by NCDOT (9/2/10) and FHWA (9/16/10). Field review of the project area was
conducted by the USACE (Tom Steffens), NCDWQ (Garcy Ward), and NCDCM (Stephen Lane) on July
22, 2010. The following information is included as part of this application submittal:
• Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) form
• Project Vicinity (Figure 1)
• USGS Topographic Map (Figure 2)
• Aerial Photograph (Figure 3)
• Soils Map (Figure 4)
• FEMA Floodmap (Figure 5)
• Permit Drawings (Sheets 1-5)
• Agent Authorization Form
• Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Request Form
• Programmatic Categorical Exclusion (signed)
NCDOT Bridge Management Unit records indicate Bridge No. 324, constructed in 1940, has a
sufficiency rating of 22.6 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The posted weight limit on the bridge
is down to 8 tons for single vehicles and 14 tons for truck -tractor semi -trailers. The bridge is considered
structurally deficient.
The purpose of this project is to replace the Water Street Bridge (Bridge #324) over Wynn's Gut, a
tributary of Pantego Creek in Belhaven, Beaufort County, North Carolina. The current bulkheads under
the bridge are part of the existing structure and will also be replaced. Bridge No. 324 is constructed of
'' r�S?
timber and steel and should be possible to remove with no resulting debris in the water based on standard
demolition practices. The bridge will be replaced on the existing alignment with traffic being detoured
offsite during the construction period.
The project site begins in front of the Pungo District Hospital and proceeds in a southeast direction across
the tributary to the intersection with Wynn's Gut Lane before ending in front of the building for the
Community Developers of Beaufort. In addition to the bridge replacement, this project will also consist
of new grading and paving for the locations immediately surrounding the bridge to tie the new bridge to
the existing roadway.
The site consists of areas along Water Street and the bridge carrying Water Street across Wynn's Gut.
The main drainageway for the area is Wynn's Gut. Wynn's Gut flows to Pantego Creek which flows to
the Pungo River which ultimately discharges into the Pamlico Sound. Land use in the vicinity of the site
is urban including the Pungo District Hospital to the west, the marina to the east, residential and
commercial development to the north, and open water to the south.
All the soils in this area are classified as urban land (Ur) with more than 85 percent of the surface area
covered with streets, buildings, parking lots, and airports. This area has been greatly altered by cutting,
filling, grading, and shaping. Slopes range from 0-6 percent.
The project is approximately 0.06 miles in length. Approximately 0.21 acres will be disturbed during the
construction of this project. Bridge no. 324 is 52 feet long. The replacement structure will be a bridge of
51.5 feet in length. The current bulkheads under the bridge will be replaced. The proposed bridge will
include two 11 -foot lanes, curb and gutter, and 5 -foot sidewalks on both sides. The roadway grade of the
new structure will be approximately the same as the existing structure, varying one foot or less for the
existing ground. In addition, approximately 0.09 acres will be stabilized with grass and permanent
plantings.
Authorization is being requested for 0.042 acre of temporary impact to jurisdictional waters (Wynn's Gut)
associated with the removal of the existing 3 span bridge which is being replaced with a single span
structure and 0.016 acre of permanent impact associated with fill required for the bulkhead replacement.
In addition, the bridge replacement will impact 1,581 sq ft. of Zone 1 Tar -Pamlico riparian buffers and
609 sq ft. of Zone 2 buffer. There are no jurisdictional wetlands located within the project area.
If there is any additional information you need to assist in the processing of this application, please do not
hesitate to contact me at (919) 653-2900.
Very truly yours,

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
All practical measures have been taken to avoid and minimize impacts to the riparian buffers and open waters. The original
design for the proposed project called for swales to be cut through the riparian buffers in order to control runoff from the
adjacent roadway. The swales were removed from the design in order to eliminate ground disturbance within the riparian
buffers.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Turbidity curtains were placed outside of the existing bulkheads to catch sediment that may be disturbed during construction
of the new bulkheads.

area. The project study area is adjacent to the Belhaven Historic District and the Belhaven Commercial District. Based
upon a review of mapping at the State Office of Archaeology on April 5, 2010, there are no known archaeological
resources within the project study area.
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: The bridge to be replaced is located on a tributary to Pungo Creek
that was not studied as a part of the effective FEMA Flood Insurance Study (FIS). The flood hazards designated at the
bridge location on the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) are associated with storm surge flooding. Because the
tributary has not been studied by FEMA, and because of the bridge's location within a coastal flooding area, FEMA
coordination was not required. This was confirmed by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, which reviewed
and approved the bridge replacement design and associated hydraulic study.
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination? FEMA floodmaps panel number 3720760400J,
Effective May 15, 2003.

❑ Office (Desk) Determination. Date:
❑ Field Determination. Date(s): July 22, 2010
1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre -construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be"waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

A. Prosect Description:
The purpose of this project is to replace Bridge No. 324, carrying Water Street over Wynn's Gut,
a tributary of Pantego Creek and the Pungo River, in Belhaven, Beaufort County. Bridge No. 324
is 52 feet long. The replacement structure will be a bridge 51.5 feet long. The current
bulkheads under the bridge are a part of the existing structure and will also be replaced. The
bridge will include two 11 -foot lanes, curb and gutter, and 5 -foot sidewalks on both sides. The
roadway grade of the new structure will be approximately the same as the existing structure,
varying one foot or less from the existing ground.
The approach roadway will extend approximately 100 feet from the west end of the new bridge
and 125 feet from the east end of the new bridge. The approaches will include a 24 -foot
pavement width providing two travel lanes no wider than 12 feet. Curb and gutter and five-
foot wide sidewalks will be provided on each side. The roadway is a local collector and will be
designed with a 25 mile per hour design speed.
Figures 1, 2, and 3 include study area mapping and project photos. Traffic will be detoured off-
site during construction.
B. Purpose and Need:
NCDOT Bridge Management Unit records indicate Bridge No. 324 has a sufficiency rating of 22.6
out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The posted weight limit on the bridge is down to 8
tons for single vehicles and 14 tons for truck -tractor semi -trailers. The bridge is considered
structurally deficient. It has a structure condition appraisal of 2 out of 9 (Item 67 on the Bridge
Inspection Report). According to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards, the bridge
is eligible for FHWA's Highway Bridge Program.
The superstructure of Bridge No. 324 is made of a reinforced concrete floor on timber joists and
steel I -beams. The substructure consists of timber caps on timber piles. Timber components
have a typical life expectancy between 40 to 50 years due to the natural deterioration rate of
wood. Rehabilitation of a timber structure is generally practical only when a few elements are
damaged or prematurely deteriorated. However, past a certain degree of deterioration, most
timber elements become impractical to maintain and upon eligibility are programmed for
replacement. Structural components of bridge No. 324 are experiencing an increasing degree
of deterioration that can no longer be addressed by reasonable maintenance activities, and the
bridge is approaching the end of its useful life.

0
Replacing a bridge (structure and/or fill)
4. Transportation corridor fringe parking facilities.
5. Construction of new truck weigh stations or rest areas.
6. Approvals for disposal of excess right-of-way or for joint or limited use of right-of-way,
where the proposed use does not have significant adverse impacts.
7. Approvals for changes in access control.
8. Construction of new bus storage and maintenance facilities in areas used predominantly
for industrial or transportation purposes where such construction is not inconsistent
with existing zoning and located on or near a street with adequate capacity to handle
anticipated bus and support vehicle traffic.
9. Rehabilitation or reconstruction of existing rail and bus buildings and ancillary facilities
where only minor amounts of additional land are required and there is not a substantial
increase in the number of users.
10. Construction of bus transfer facilities (an open area consisting of passenger shelters,
boarding areas, kiosks and related street improvements) when located in a commercial
area or other high activity center in which there is adequate street capacity for
projected bus traffic.
11. Construction of rail storage and maintenance facilities in areas used predominantly for
industrial or transportation purposes where such construction is not inconsistent with
existing zoning and where there is no significant noise impact on the surrounding
community.
12. Acquisition of land for hardship or protective purposes, advance land acquisition loans
under section 3(b) of the UMT Act. Hardship and protective buying will be permitted
only for a particular parcel or a limited number of parcels. These types of land
acquisition qualify for a CE only where the acquisition will not limit the evaluation of
alternatives, including shifts in alignment for planned construction projects, which may
be required in the NEPA process. No project development on such land may proceed
until the NEPA process has been completed.
13. Acquisition and construction of wetland, stream and endangered species mitigation
sites.
14. Remedial activities involving the removal, treatment or monitoring of soil or
groundwater contamination pursuant to state or federal remediation guidelines.
D. Special Project Information:
The estimated costs, based on the 2009-2015 STIP, are as follows:
Prior Year's Cost $120,000
Right of Way $50,000
Construction $500,000
Total $670,000
Estimated Traffic:
Current - <400 vpd
Year 2030 - <400 vpd
Estimated TTST/Dual: 7%
Design Exceptions: There are no anticipated design exceptions for this project.
Bicycle Designation: This portion of Water Street is not a part of a designated bicycle route nor
is it listed in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) as a bicycle project.
Bridge Demolition: Bridge No. 324 is constructed of timber and steel and should be possible to
remove with no resulting debris in the water based on standard demolition practices.
Alternatives Discussion:
No Build — The no build alternative would result in eventually closing the road which is
unacceptable given the Town of Belhaven's commitment to maintain the bridge and preserve
the connectivity along Water Street.
Rehabilitation — The bridge was constructed in 1940, and the timber materials within the
bridge are reaching the end of their useful life. Rehabilitation would require replacing the
timber components which would constitute effectively replacing the bridge.
Offsite Detour — Bridge No. 324 will be replaced on the existing alignment. Traffic will be
detoured offsite (see Figure 2) during the construction period. NCDOT Guidelines 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 Pamlico Street, Main Street, and Allen
Road. The majority of traffic on the road is through traffic. The detour for the average road
user would result in two minutes or less of additional travel time (0.3 miles additional travel). A
9 to 12 -month duration of construction is expected on this project.
Based on the Guidelines, the criteria above indicate that on the basis of delay alone the detour
is acceptable. A representative of Pungo District Hospital (located adjacent to the bridge on the
west side) attended the Citizens Informational Workshop (described below/next page) and
indicated that the detour is acceptable. The hospital's emergency room entrance is located on
the west side of the hospital near Allen Street, and emergency responders arriving from areas
east of Belhaven primarily use Main Street and Allen Street.
Onsite Detour — An onsite detour was not evaluated due to the presence of an acceptable
offsite detour.
OCT 15 2012
Staged Construction — Staged construction would require a temporary bridge beside the
existing roadway alignment, an additional cost for the temporary bridge, and extra right of way.
The existing bridge is not wide enough to phase construction. This option was not considered
further since an acceptable offsite detour is available.
New Alignment — Given that the alignment for Water Street is acceptable, a new alignment was
not considered as an alternative.
Natural Resources:
An Environmental Screening Report was prepared in April 2010. Field investigations by Kimley-
Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) staff were conducted on December 4, 2009.
Wetlands — Field investigations by KHA staff determined that no wetland areas are located
within the project study area.
Public Involvement:
A Citizens Informational Workshop was held on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at the Belhaven
Town Hall. Eleven citizens attended, and two comment sheets were received. Adjoining
property owners requested that the navigable waterway remain high/wide enough for existing
boat traffic to continue use after the bridge is replaced. The second written comment received
expressed concern over frequent flooding in Belhaven, suggesting flood gates under this bridge.
Permits:
The US Coast Guard is responsible for administering Section 9 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. A
Section 9 permit is required for construction or modification of all bridges spanning navigable
waters. In lieu of the Coast Guard Bridge Permit, an Advance Approval (AA) process has been
established to reduce the permit burden for bridges over waterways in which only small craft
navigate and that typically have no adverse effects on the environment. Based upon
correspondence with the Coast Guard and NCDOT Natural Environment Unit staff, it is
anticipated that this project will follow the AA process.
Other Agency Comments:
The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) provided a project -specific
comment that the area around B-4500 is characterized by higher salinity water primarily
supporting species under the jurisdiction of the NC Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF).
Coordination should be initiated with NCDMF to address impacts to aquatic species. NCWRC
recommends replacing this bridge with a bridge. Standard recommendations apply. According
to subsequent correspondence with NCDMF and NCWRC (documented in the Environmental
Screening Report, April 2010), the project study area is not designated as anadromous fish
spawning habitat or a primary nursery area.
The NCDENR Division of Water Quality (NCDENR-DWQ) provided the following project -specific
comments:
- Wynn's Gut is classified as an SC, NSW stream and is listed on the current 303(d) list for
Chlorophyll a.
- Pantego Creek and associated tributaries, including Wynn's Gut, are class SC, NSW
waters of the State. NCDWQ is very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that
could result from this project. The NCDWQ recommends that highly protective
sediment and erosion control BMPs be implemented to reduce the risk of nutrient
runoff to Wynn's Gut. The NCDWQ requests that road design plans provide treatment
of the storm water runoff through best management practices as detailed in the most
recent version of NCDWQ's Stormwater Best Management Practices.
- This project is within the Tar -Pamlico River Basin. Riparian buffer impacts shall be
avoided and minimized to the greatest extent possible pursuant to 15A NCAC 26.0259.
Copies of all letters received in response to the Scoping Letter (November 2009) are attached.

F. Additional Documentation Required for Unfavorable Responses in Part E
Response to Question 2: Manatees are considered seasonal inhabitants of North Carolina
typically occurring in June through October. This species inhabits a
variety of habitats including shallow coastal bays, lagoons, estuaries,
and inland rivers of varying salinity. Manatees typically inhabit
waters with depths ranging from 1.5 to 6 meters (about 5 to 20 feet).
Although water depths within the project study area are marginally
sufficient for manatee (the average water depth at the bridge is
approximately 3.3 feet and transitions to 5.3 feet about 100 feet
downstream of the bridge), according to the US Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS), Wynn's Gut would be considered suitable habitat
for manatee. The USFWS has prepared precautionary measures for
construction activities in waters used by manatee (Guidelines for
Avoiding Impacts to the West Indian Manatee, June 2003). According
to USFWS, if these guidelines are implemented by the contractor
during construction, the project should not have an adverse impact to
manatee. Correspondence with USFWS indicating concurrence with a
Biological Conclusion of No Effect and the above referenced
document are attached.
* Clarification for Question 10: The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources — Division of Coastal Management (NCDENR-DCM)
commented that it "appears that Public Trust Area and Public Trust
Shoreline Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs) will be impacted
and a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) permit will be required."
It is anticipated that the proposed bridge replacement will qualify for
authorization under a CAMA General Permit with no significant
effects to any AEC.
Response to Questions 28 / 30: Bridge No. 324 is located on the edge of the Belhaven Historic
District, a property eligible for listing in the National Register of
Historic Places. Through coordination with the State Historic
Preservation Office (HPO) and Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA), FHWA intends to make a de minimis ruling based on the HPO
concurrence that this project will have "no adverse effect" on the
Belhaven Historic District. HPO has concurred with this finding and
issued a "no adverse effect" call based on the use of the Texas Classic
rail and 8 -inch non -mountable curb along the bridge.
Correspondence and a drawing/plan sheet are attached.
G. CE Approval
TIP Project No. B-4500 State Contract No. B501450
WBS No. 33733.1.1 Federal Project No. BRZ-0210(7)
Project Description:
The purpose of this project is to replace Bridge No. 324, carrying Water Street over Wynn's Gut,
a tributary of Pantego Creek and the Pungo River, in Belhaven, Beaufort County. Bridge No. 324
is 52 feet long. The replacement structure will be a bridge 51.5 feet long. The current
bulkheads under the bridge are a part of the existing structure and will also be replaced. The
bridge will include two 11 -foot lanes, curb and gutter, and 5 -foot sidewalks on both sides. The
roadway grade of the new structure will be approximately the same as the existing structure,
varying one foot or less from the existing ground.
The approach roadway will extend approximately 100 feet from the west end of the new bridge
and 125 feet from the east end of the new bridge. The approaches will include a 24 -foot
pavement width providing two travel lanes no wider than 12 feet. Curb and gutter and five-
foot wide sidewalks will be provided on each side. The roadway is a local collector and will be
designed with a 25 mile per hour design speed.
