8. Project summary The applicant is proposing to replace the bridge across Smith Creek
and replace it with three culverts.

Environmental settin
In Hyde County, SR 1143 crosses Smith Creek between Scranton and Sladesville.
At the crossing site is a bridge that N.C. Department of Transportation has
determined upgrading is necessary. The present bridge is wooden and has a
clearance of no more than one foot above Smith Creek on a normal tide. The
creek at the crossing site is + 55' wide and it is bordered by a dense growth
of Spartina cvnosuroides. At the present navigation is curtailed by the
elevation of the bridge above Smith Creek.
Project proposal
The applicant is proposing to replace the bridge with three culverts. The
culverts will be quadrilateral shaped with a bottom width of 112" and a height
of 75". Some fill material will be placed within the canal between and
adjacent to the culverts.
Environmental impact
If the project is conducted as proposed + 1,620 sq.ft. of open water area
will be taken up by the culverts and + 1,215 sq.ft. of open water area will be
filled between and adjacent to the culverts. The project will not obstruct
navigation upstream of SR 1143 any more than the present bridge is doing. No
wetland vegetation will be excavated or filled.
