CONTI, JR. SECRETARY SUBJECT: Application for CAMA General Permits .2300 and .1600 for Replacement of Pender County Bridge #117 & associated Utility Line Work on SR 1520 Old Maple Hill Road approximately 2.5 mile SW of NC 50 Pender County, BD -51030, WBS # 45349.1.15 Dear Mr. Lane: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is requesting issuance of CAMA General Permit .2300 to replace Pender County Bridge #117 on SR 1520 Old Maple Hill Road. The proposal is to replace the existing 69 feet long by 20 feet wide bridge with a 100 feet long by 33 feet wide bridge. The existing navigable vertical clearance would be maintained and slightly improved while the horizontal navigable clearance would be significantly improved. The proposed bridge replacement project would require utility work. AT&T cables would need to be relocated as part of this project and a power line would need to be temporarily removed during construction and replaced on the same poles post construction. Therefore, NCDOT is also requesting the issuance of CAMA General Permit .1600 authorizing the described utility work. Please find enclosed the following: 1) CAMA Permit application forms MP -1 and MP -5 2) Adjacent riparian property owner list along with a copy of one of the letters that was sent 3) Certified mail receipts from the mailings to the adjacent riparian property owners 4) Three maps including a vicinity map, an aerial photo map, and a USGS map. Please note that there is for reference labeled on some of the maps Pender County Bridge #116; no work is proposed for Pender County Bridge # 116 at this time. 5) Attachment G detailing many aspects and environmental considerations for this project. 6) Wetland Impact Summary Table 7) Four plan sheets as follows: Sheet Number 4 without contours, Sheet Number 4 with contours, Sheet Number UBO -1 showing the power line work, and Sheet Number UBO -2 showing the AT&T utility work. 8) Bridge Survey Report 9) Email sent 4/26/2012 from me to Amanda Glynn NCDOT Bridge Manager in regard to my conversations with Mr. Travis Wilson of the NC Wildlife Resources Commission and Ms. Jessi Baker of the NC Division of Marine Fisheries in regard to moratoriums. Please see below for additional information in this regard. 10) Memorandum from Mr. Wilson to Ms. Glynn dated July 8, 2011 in regard to recommendations for, amongst others, Pender County Bridge #117 project BD -51030. Please see page 3 near the bottom of the page for Mr. Wilson's specific comments regarding Pender County Bridge #117 project BD -51030. 5501 BARBADOS BLvD. CASTLE HAYNE, NC 28429 Phone: (910) 341-2000 Fax: (910) 675-0143 Pender County Bridge # 117 CAMA Permit Application Cover Letter May 7, 2012 Page Two 11) Wetland and Stream Package from Mr. Robert Turnbull of Environmental Services, Inc. including the following: A) Memo B) Aerial Map C) Flagging Info D) Jurisdictional Determination Form E) Wetland Data Form F) Upland Data Form G) NC Division of Water Quality Stream Identification Form H) US Army Corps of Engineers Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet 12) NCDOT Cultural Resources Staff Architectural and Archaeological clearance documents for this project The water body at the location of Pender County Bridge #117 is Holly Shelter Creek and is classified as C Sw. It appears that Holly Shelter Creek is not classified as Primary Nursery Area nor as Anadromous Fish Spawning Area at this location. In phone conversations that I had with Travis Wilson of the NC Wildlife Resources Commission and Jessi Baker of the NC Division of Marine Fisheries on April 26, 2012, both Mr. Wilson and Ms. Baker said that they would not require a moratorium at this location; please see the attached email in this regard. Also, you may notice on the Attachment G reference to a moratorium for anadromous fish; this is on the Attachment G because during our initial scoping efforts it was suspected and therefore noted that an anadromous fish spawning moratorium may be required. However, this is not the case as is supported by my referenced phone conversations with Mr. Wilson and Ms. Baker, the followup enclosed email from me to Ms. Glynn regarding my conversations with Mr. Wilson and Ms. Baker, and the attached memorandum from Mr. Wilson to Ms. Glynn dated July 8, 2011 wherein Mr. Wilson makes no request nor requirement for a moratorium with regard to Pender County Bridge #117, BD - 51030, a point that Mr. Wilson reiterated during my phone conversation with him on April 26, 2012. In regard to the note on the Attachment G about the Threatened and Endangered Species evaluation being unresolved, this evaluation has now been completed and, while habitat does exist for some species, a finding of No Effect has been decided in regard to all of the listed species for Pender County. Additionally, NCDOT by copy of this package is making application to the US Army Corps of Engineers for a Nationwide Permit # 12 for the power line work as Holly Shelter Creek is a Section 10 water body; please also find enclosed a copy of the cover letter to the USACE in this regard. No application will be made to the NC Division of Water Quality as there are no 404 impacts associated with this project. NCDOT acknowledges that a total of $800.00 ($400.00 each) will be debited against the WBS element provided above for processing these CAMA General Permit .2300 and .1600 applications. Thank you for all your help working through this process. If you have any questions or need additional information in this regard please contact me at (910) 341-2036.

Division Bridge Program Manager, NCDOT I RftO FROM: Travis Wilson, Highway Project Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program �i n 9 2�J� DATE: July 8, 2011 SUBJECT: Division 3 Bridge Replacements Biologists with the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the information provided and have the following preliminary 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: 1. 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 for human and wildlife passage beneath the structure, 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. 5. 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'. If possible, when using temporary Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries • 1721 Mail Service Center • Raleigh, NC 27699-1721 Telephone: (919) 707-0220 • Fax: (919) 707-0028 Bridge Memo Page 2 July 8, 2011 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. Army Corps of 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' permit. 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 15 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 daily 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 life and fish passage. Generally, the culvert or pipe invert should be buried at least 1 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 Page 3 July 8, 2011 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 accommodate 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 channel 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.

BD -51030 - Pender 117 Environmental Services, Inc., (ESI) has completed the jurisdictional wetland and surface water delineation for Pender County Bridge #117. The project study area is located on Old Maple Hill Road (SR 1520) over Holly Shelter Creek. One (1) Section 404 jurisdictional wetland and one (1) jurisdictional stream channel (Holly Shelter Creek) were flagged per U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) criteria. No coastal wetlands, as defined by the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA), were present within the project study area. The jurisdictional wetland is abutting Holly Shelter Creek outside of the project study area. Normal high water elevation was marked with an orange flag near flag SA -2A. The attached jurisdictional layout depicts the approximate location of the jurisdictional features. It is our understanding that these features will be located via traditional survey. The attached layout is intended to be used by your surveyor to aid in locating the wetland and stream flagging.

SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TN A's and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete Section II1.A.1 and Section I11.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.I and 2 and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below. 1. TNW Identify TNW: Summarize rationale supporting determination: 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 I II.D.4. .4 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.1 for the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B3 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.

SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed by ani 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 arc 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: 1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself; then go to Section 111.D: Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to Section IIID: 3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPN'. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to Section 11I.D: D.

Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity. and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.

Pender County current GIS mapping and tax information indicated undeveloped and wooded properties in APE. Constructed in 1956, Bridge No. 117 is a 69 -foot -long, eight -span, timber stringer/multi-beam bridge and is not eligible for the National Register according to the NCDOT Historic Bridge Survey as it is not historically, architecturally, or technologically significant. Google Maps "Street View" confirmed absence of critical historic structures/landscapes in APE (viewed 10 August 2011). No architectural survey is required for the project as currently defined. Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE: APE extends 200 feet to the N and S from the center of the existing bridge and 100 feet to the E and W from the SR 1520 (Old Maple Hill Road) centerline to encompass proposed construction activities. County GIS/tax materials and other visuals support the absence of significant architectural resources. No National Register -listed or —eligible properties are located within the APE.

CONTI, JR. SECRETARY Subject: Permit Application for Nationwide Permit 12 for Section 10 considerations for Power Line Work associated with Low Impact Bridge Replacement BD -51030 Pender County Bridge #117, WBS # 45349.1.1 Dear Mr. Shaver: The NC Department of Transportation proposes to replace Pender County Bridge # 117 under the Low Impact Bridge Program. NCDOT proposes no 404 impacts as a result of this project. However, the water body at this location is Holly Shelter Creek which is a Section 10 water. NCDOT proposes to temporarily remove a power line for construction purposes as there would otherwise be a conflict during construction and replace the power line on the existing poles post construction. The subject power line crosses over Holly Shelter Creek. NCDOT proposes to perform this work under USACE Nationwide Permit 12. NCDOT is applying for CAMA General Permit .2300 for the bridge replacement and CAMA General Permit .1600 for the utility line work for both the power line work described above and AT&T utility line work. The AT&T utility line work associated with this project will not cross over, under, or through Holly Shelter Creek and therefore is not part of this Nationwide 12 application request. Please see the attached copy of the entire application package that is being sent to the NC Division of Coastal Management. Please let this cover letter to you and the copy of the package to the NC Division of Coastal Management serve as the PCN for the Nationwide 12.

For this section 10 crossing being overhead utility I must confirm that the project is in compliance with regional conditions. In the package I don't see a cross section to tell how high above the water the line will be or the voltage of the line for sag calculation. Not to mention that information is necessary as a new requirement to pass along to Dept of Defense. Can you find out this information? See condition below: 4.1.5. The minimum clearance*(see NOTE in 4.3.6.) for aerial communication lines, or any lines not transmitting electrical power, will be ten (10) feet above the clearance required for nearby stationary bridges as established by the U.S. Coast Guard. In the event the U.S. Coast Guard has not established a bridge clearance, minimum vertical clearances for power and aerial lines will not be less than required by Section 23, Rule 232, of the latest revision of the National Electrical Safety Code (ANSI C2). Clearances will not be less than shown in Table 232-1, Item 7, ANSI C2. 29 4.1.6. The minimum clearance* for an aerial line, transmitting electrical power, is based on the low point of the line under conditions that produce the greatest sag, taking into Minimum consideration temperature, load, wind, Clearance length or span and the type of supports.
