Hi Cathy,
I will send you a copy of a request I received from Clay Willis, dated
8/18/03, requesting a refinement of CAMA Major Permit 129-02 for
shoreline stabilization and culvert replacement in today's mail. I
informed Clay that it would be processed as a refinement or minor
modification. Due to the location being outside the permitted work area
and the additional 320 Sq. feet of PTA impacts, it is my understanding
it will be processed as a minor modification requiring a $100.00 fee
which I requested Jaye Poole debit to DOT.
This work is identical to the work already permitted and the conditions
on Major Permit 129-02 should be adhered to.
Thanks,
Bill

Dear Mr. Bill Arrington,
The NC Department of Transportation is proposing to replace an additional drain
file that has collapsed under SR I I I I (Rattlesnake Canal Rd.). The replacement of this
tile was not covered under the original Major Permit (129-02) for shoreline stabilization.
The damaged tile was discovered after the permit was issued. This damaged tile is located
approximately 150 feet North of the existing stabilization project. The shoulder of the
canal has become unstabilized and is eroding into the canal bottom, which has caused tho
road to begin to collapse. Therefore, NCDOT is requesting a letter of refinement from
DCM to allow the replacement of the drain file and the placement of additional rip -rap to
be covered under Major Permit 129-02. This will stabilize the canal bank and prevent and
further damage to the roadway. This will result in an additional 320 square feet of rip -rap
to be placed in the canal bottom. The rip -rap will be carried up the canal bank to stabilize
the shoulder. Included with this request are work plats detailing the work area, proposed
pipe replacement and rip -rap placement, if any additional information is needed please
call Clay Willis at 252-482-7977.
Sincerely,
Don Conger, P.E.

MEMORANDUM:
TO: DOUG HUGGETT
FROM: BILL ARRINGTON
SUBJECT: COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS - CAMA MAJOR PERMIT —
Shoreline stabilization and culvert replacement on SR 1111 in Hyde Co.
DATE: July 17, 2002
The following are my comments and recommendations regarding the above -mentioned proposal.
The proposal consists of repairing 415 feet of eroded canal bank/road shoulder by installing rip rap
from the canal bottom to 2 feet above MHW to form a base for a 5-foot soil road shoulder to
conform more closely with the adjacent road shoulders and to provide for the safety of the traveling
public. NCDOT has reduced the shallow bottom fill impacts associated with this proposal by
proposing 2:1 fill slopes on the canal bank. I would recommend the project be approved contingent
upon the following conditions:
1) Soil stabilizing fabric is installed between the canal bottom and the rip rap and between the
canal bank and the rip rap.
2) All excavated materials will be confined above normal high water and landward of regularly
or irregularly flooded wetlands behind adequate dikes or other retaining structures to prevent
spillover of solids into any wetlands or surrounding waters.
3) In order to protect water quality, runoff from the construction must not visibly increase the
amount of suspended sediments in adjacent waters.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The N.C. Department of Transportation is proposing to stabilize 415
feet of Rattlesnake Canal shoreline along SR 1111 and replace 8" terra cotta farm tiles with 24"
culverts where two farm ditches cross SR 1111.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT
NC DOT — SR 1111, Hyde County
PAGE 2
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The site of this proposal is SR 1111, between SR 1110 and SR 1108, approximately 1.5 miles
southwest of Middletown, in Hyde County. Farm Tile One and Two are 1140 feet and 1368 feet
respectively, southeast of SR 1110. The proposed stabilization begins 2060 feet southeast of SR
1110 and ends 2475 southeast of SR 1110.The general purpose of the project is to stabilize the
road shoulder and repair the broken farm tiles under SR 1111, to alleviate erosion into Rattlesnake
Canal and provide safer driving conditions for the traveling public.
State Road 1111 parallels Rattlesnake Canal and provides a 15-foot gravel travelway and a road
shoulder averaging 7 feet wide on the southwest side and 5 feet wide on the northeast side (outside
of the proposed project area). In the proposed project area the canal bank has eroded into the
gravel travelway in several areas and is less than 5 feet in the majority of the project area.
Rattlesnake Canal was originally excavated for agricultural drainage and the proposed project area
is completely surrounded by agricultural fields. A small marina exists approximately 4000 feet
downstream of the proposed project area on the southeast side of the bridge crossing Rattlesnake
Canal on SR 1108. In the proposed project area Rattlesnake Canal is approximately 50 feet wi de,
with the canal bottom 7.5 feet below the ground surface and terminates at the Pamlico Sound.
Approximately 2.5 feet of water is in the canal at Normal High Water. Farm Tile One and Two
are 8" terra cotta pipe sections connecting the existing farm ditches to Rattlesnake Canal. Both
farm tiles have collapsed sections allowing water to escape under SR 1111 causing undermining of
the road travelway and shoulder. The surrounding agricultural fields were planted with wheat,
soybeans and corn. The ditch banks are vegetated with Dewberry, Honeysuckle, Poison, Ivy,
Virginia Creeper, Cat Brier and Bermuda grass. The NC Soil Conservation Service classifies
soils in the project area as Hyde Land Silty Loam. Approximate elevations on the site range
between -2 feet and 5 feet above normal high water. No evidence of SAV beds was noted. The
North Carolina Division of Water Quality classifies waters of Pamlico Sound adjacent to the
proposed project area as SA-HQW and they are subject to the Tar -Pamlico River Buffer Rules.
No Primary Nursery Area, as designated by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries, is
located at this site. The Hyde County Land Use Plan designates the project area as Rural, with all
CAMA Areas of Environmental Concern designated as Conservation.
The proposal is to armor 415 feet of canal bank with rip rap, in an alignment approximating the
original canal bank, to a height 2 feet above NHW to provide a stable base to backfill a 5 -foot
wide soil road shoulder to more closely correspond to the adjacent road shoulders. This riprap
armament alignment would extend water -ward of the existing eroded areas from 6 feet to 11 feet
and be covered with soil stabilizing fabric. The proposed soil road shoulder would be installed
above the soil stabilizing fabric and include the same fabric between the existing canal bank and
the soil backfill. Two 8" farm tiles that have degraded and collapsed would be replaced with 24"
corrugated aluminum culverts after the erosion sediment is excavated from the canal bottom at the
end of the farm tiles. The canal bank will be armored surrounding the culverts for a 15 -foot
radius. NC DOT Best Management Practices will be used for erosion control.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT
NC DOT — SR 1111, Hyde County
PAGE 3
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
As proposed, the construction of the riprap armament would require the filling of approximately
3652 square feet of shallow (canal) bottom. The replacement of the two farm tiles with culverts
would require the excavation of approximately 300 square feet of shallow bottom and 280 feet of
high ground in addition to the filling of approximately 300 square feet of shallow bottom and 404
square feet of high ground (canal bank around culverts).
NC DOT has reduced the shallow bottom excavation and fill impacts associated with this proposal
by increasing the canal bank side slopes to 2:1. The NC DOT has proposed to use standard
BMP's to minimize the impacts of erosion. Principally local residents use State Road 1111. The
repair of the road shoulder and replacement of the deteriorated farm tiles with culverts should
enhance the safety of motorists using SR 1111.
The collective disturbance area for the project is 0.11 acres.

Attention: Bill Arrington, Field Officer (Transportation Projects)

Subject: Road shoulder stabilization on Secondary Road 1 I I I (Rattlesnake Canal Road) near the
town of Middletown, Hyde County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to stabilize a section of SR l l 11. This
road parallels a drainage canal that flows out to the Pamlico Sound. Along a portion of this canal, the bank
has become destabilized and significant amounts of erosion have taken place. The erosion of the canal bank
has caused SR I 1 11's roadbed to be undermined. If the canal banks are not stabilized then further erosion
will continue and the roadbed will eventually be washed out completely, resulting in road closure. The
length of the area to be stabilized along the canal bank with class B riprap is 415 feet, with an average
distance waterward (NWL) of 6.8 feet. This will result in 65 cubic yards of fill below the NWL. The
primary cause of the bank erosion was two drainage pipes that carry water from adjacent agricultural fields,
under the road, and into the canal. These pipes are old pipes that have collapsed under the roadbed. These
pipes will be replaced in conjunction with the bank stabilization. Once this work is complete we do not
anticipate having any further problems with bank destabilization along this canal.
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization under a CAMA major permit for impacts to
Public Trust Waters. Rattlesnake Canal is a navigable water and can be accessed by way of the Pamlico
Sound. In the area of the proposed work there is essentially no recreational use of the canal as Public Trust
Water. Approximately 0.5 miles south of the project area, there are a few commercial boats that dock along
the bank of the canal. The purpose of the canal is drainage of the adjacent agricultural fields. If you have
any questions or need additional information, please contact Clay Willis at 252-482-7977.

Don Conner, PE

Dear Mr.Willis,
The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State
approval for the stabilization of the road shoulder/canal bank of SR 1111 in HydeCounty. The
requested information gathered on site July 11, 2002, completed your application and it appears to
be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is
September 23, 2002. An additional 75-day review period is provided by law when such time is
necessary to complete the review. If you have not been notified of a final action by the initial
deadline stated above, you should consider the review period extended. Under those
circumstances, this letter will serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an additional
letter will be provided on or about the 75th day.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at thelocation of the proposed
development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must be posted at
the proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along the roadway
where it can be observed from the road. An example would be: nailing the notice card to a
telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-way near the project. Failure to post this notice could
result in an incomplete application.
An onsite inspection will be made, and if additional information is required, you will be contacted by
the appropriate State or Federal agency. Please contact me if you have any questions and notify
me in writing if you wish to receive a copy of my field report and/or comments from reviewing
agencies.
Sincerely,

MEMORANDUM:
TO: DOUG HUGGETT
FROM: Bill Arrington
SUBJECT: COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS - CAMA MAJOR PERMIT —
State Road 1109, Hyde County
DATE: March 4, 2002
The following are my comments and recommendations regarding the above mentioned
proposal.
The project consists of replacing an existing culvert, elevating and paving an existing
roadway. Areas of coastal wetlands and 404 wetlands will be filled and excavated to install
road shoulders and shallow roadside ditches. The existing road blocks the natural stream
course at the crossing of the unnamed tributary of Middle Town Creek. The stream has been
channelized in a shallow ditch approximately 50 feet east of the natural stream course where
the Coastal Marsh transitions to Riverine Pine Flats (404 type wetlands). Wind driven high
tides sheet flow over the existing road. I would recommend the project be approved
contingent upon the following conditions:
1) NC DOT install a culvert in the roadway at the natural stream course, in addition to
the culvert proposed at the ditch crossing. This would restore a portion of the natural
stream hydrology that was impeded previously and mitigate for restricting sheet flow
over the road from wind driven high tides
2) NC DOT Mitigate for 0.23 acres of Coastal Marsh impacts (9981 square feet, as on
application DCM-MP-2, 4. b.) instead of the 0.2 acres proposed.
3) The roadway fill material will be clean and free of any pollutants, except in trace
quantities.
4) In orderto protect water quality, runoff from the construction must not visibly increase
the amount of suspended sediments in adjacent waters.
5) The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill materials within
waters or vegetated wetlands is not authorized.
6) . No excavated or fill material will be placed at any time, in any marsh or surrounding
waters, outside of the alignment of the fill area indicated on the work plats.

7) All excavated materials will be confined above mean high water and landward of
regularly or irregularly flooded marsh behind adequate dikes or other retaining
structures to prevent spillover of solids into any marsh or surrounding waters.
8) In no case shall excavation exceed the depth of connecting waters.
9) In order to protect shrimp and finfish populations, no excavation or filling will be
permitted below NWL or in inundated wetlands between ??? and ??? of any year
without the prior approval of the Division of Coastal Management, in consultation with
the Division of Marine Fisheries.

pavement width of 18 feet, shoulder widths of 5 feet, and a road elevation one foot above the
existing surface.
State Road 1109 is approximately 0.48 miles long from its beginning at SR 1108 to the dead end.
This area is primarily undeveloped and is vegetated with Coastal Wetlands, Riverine and Non-
Riverine Pine Flat (404 wetlands), with one house at the end of the road. State Road 1109
originates in an easterly direction from SR 1108 between a Non-Riverine Pine Flat and an
unnamed 10' wide canal. At approximately 0.2 miles from SR 1108 the road bears in a southerly
direction through approximately 0.1 miles of Coastal wetlands before continuing 0.2 miles (with
404 type wetlands on the east side of the road), to the end. The culverted crossing of the unnamed
tributary to Middletown Creek is approximately 50 feet east of the natural streambed in an
excavated ditch at the transition zone from Coastal Wetlands to Riverine Pine Flat (404 Type
Wetland). Previous filling of the roadbed prevents the normal movement of water in the natural
stream course. However, wind driven high tides sheet flow over the road.
The coastal wetland consists of Juncus roemerianus S ap rtina patens and Distichlis s in cata. The
adjacent Riverine Pine Flats are vegetated primarily with Pinus taeda. Phragmites australis Juncus
effuses. Myrica cerifera and Helenium amarum. Soils in the area are Backbay Mucky Loam.
Middle Town Creek is coastal waters adjacent to the project site, and is classified SA-HQW by the
Division of Water Quality and subject to the Tar -Pamlico River Buffer.Rules. The area is not
open to shellfishing, and is designated as Primary Nursery Area by the North Carolina Division of
Marine Fisheries. The Hyde County Land Use Plan designates the project area as Rural, with all
areas lying within CAMA Areas of Environmental Concern, designated as Conservation.
The proposal is to raise the existing 18 foot wide gravel road surface one foot, install 5-foot road
shoulders, and pave 18 feet wide to provide a safer road for school buses and the traveling public.
The existing 15".diameter by 40-foot long culvert at the ditch crossing adjacent to the Coastal
Marsh would be replaced with a 30" diameter by 40-foot long culvert. The roadway, shoulders,
slopes and shallow storm -water ditches will extend for a width of 45 feet or less (15 -20 feet wider
than existing).

NC DOT - SR 1109
March 4, 2002
PAGE 3
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
As proposed, this road elevation, culvert replacement, and paving will result in the following
impacts: Reduction/prevention of sheet flow of brackish estuarine water over the road surface
during wind tides, approximately 5490 square feet of coastal wetlands will be filled by road
shoulders, approximately 4491 square feet of coastal marsh will be excavated for the shallow
storm -water ditches, Approximately 7427 square feet of 404 type wetlands will be filled by road
shoulder, approximately 6077 square feet of 404 type wetlands will be excavated for the shallow
storm water ditches and 50 square feet of shallow bottom will be filled by culvert. Approximately
2.08 acres of high ground will be graded, filled or excavated for the roadway and paving. NC
DOT is proposing to mitigate for the Coastal Marsh and 404 type wetland impacts at a 1:1 ratio at
the Bishop Road Mitigation Site.
NC DOT has avoided and minimized the Coastal Marsh and 404 type wetland impacts'by
reducing the pavement width from 20 feet to 18 feet, reducing the shoulder width from 7 feet to 5
feet, maintaining the existing road alignment, and installing ditch banks at a 2:1 slope. There is a
high probability of turbidity to be expected during road filling and grading, and replacement of the
culvert. The NC DOT has proposed strict enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control
BMP's for the protection of wetlands and surface waters to minimize these impacts. The primary
use of SR 1109 is daily school bus and local resident traffic. The elevation, installation of
shoulders, culvert replacement and paving of the roadway should enhance the safety of motorists
using SR 1109.
The collective disturbance area for the project is 2.62 acres.

Attention: Bill Arrington, NC DOT Field Representative
Subject: Secondary road improvements to SR 1109 (Marsh Road) from SR 1108 to
end of road in Hyde County under an CAMA major permit.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to upgrade SR
1109 (Marsh Road) from SR 1108 to end of state maintenance in Hyde County. SR 1109
is an unpaved roadway that will be upgraded to a paved roadway. Total project length is
0.48 miles.
Transportation and highway laws of North Carolina (G.S. 136-44.6, 136-44.7,
136-44.7A, 136-44.8, and 136-44.9) require the NCDOT to develop annual work
programs for construction and maintenance of secondary roads. These general statutes
specifically set forth requirements for annual construction and paving of existing unpaved
roads. Paving of these roads is performed in priority order as established by the NCDOT
for each unpaved road within a given county. This number is based on characteristics of
each road, including number of homes, schools, churches, businesses, industries,
recreational facilities, traffic counts, presence of school bus routes, and value as a
thoroughfare. Marsh Road is scheduled to be paved in the 2000-2001 Secondary Roads
Construction Program. The purpose and need is to provide a safe, efficient roadway
serving as the access to the one house located on SR 1109. The new roadway width and
the eventual addition of pavement will greatly increase the safety of the traveling public,
including a school bus that travels this road daily during the school year. SR 1109
currently consists of a gravel surface. Maintenance activities are also considered. Gravel
roads require re -grading a minimum of 10 to 15 times per year. This may be increased
depending on weather patterns and traffic usage. The frequency of maintenance is
reduced after conversion from gravel to a paved travel surface.

Impacts to Waters of the United States
Streams
Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States
in the Tar -Pamlico Watershed. The project crosses a tributary of Middletown Creek
which is designated as estuarine waters with adjacent coastal marshes (Table 1). One 15-
inch wide, 40-foot long corrugated metal pipe will be replaced with a 30-inch wide, 40-
foot long corrugated metal pipe. This pipe is under CAMA jurisdiction.

Wetlands
Both Army Corps of Engineers and Division of Coastal Management
jurisdictional sites are located on the site plans and labeled site 1 through 4.
Creating a road shoulder will impact four contiguous wetland community types.
The two brackish marsh wetland areas were determined to be within Division of Coastal
Management jurisdiction. Impacts to wetlands associated with roadside shoulder and
ditch construction are anticipated to be greater than 0.1 acres. Because these wetlands
and associated ditches are tidal, the use of the ellipse equation for drainage effects was
not calculated.

Waters of the U.S. Mitigation
Four alternatives were investigated for wetland, stream, and buffer impacts.
Alternative 1, the no build alternative, consists of the original, unpaved road. This road is
currently 18 feet wide and 0.48 miles long and no shoulders. The road turns sharply in a
right angle at approximately 0.24 miles from the SR 1108. Storm water is currently
directed through ditches along both sides of the road that are approximately 1.8 feet deep.
Areas delineated as wetlands begin at the backside of the existing roadside ditches.
Alternative 1 was not pursued further since it did not allow for any of the needed
improvements to this road.
Alternative 2 utilized a standard 60-foot right of way consisting of an 20-foot paved road
a 7-foot shoulder and 12-foot wide, 2-foot deep ditches with a 2:1 slope. This road would
utilize the existing roadbed. Construction using this design would impact 0.98 acres of
adjacent wetlands. One pipe within a tributary of Middletown creek will be replaced.
Stormwater will be directed through new ditches.
Alternative 3 utilizes a 40-foot right of way consisting of an 18-foot paved road, 5-foot
shoulders and a 5-foot wide, 2-foot deep ditch. The road was shifted to allow for the
most gradual slope around the sharp turn. This more gradual turn would require the
additional fill of 0.05 acres of coastal brackish wetlands. Total wetland impact would be
0.56 acres. One pipe within a tributary of Middletown creek will be replaced.
Stormwater will be directed through new ditches.
Alternative 4 utilized a 40-foot right of way consisting of an 18-foot paved road, 5-foot
shoulders and 5-foot wide, 2-foot deep ditch. The road will remain within the existing
roadbed without shifting the road for the sharp turn. Total wetland impact will be 0.51
acres. One pipe within a tributary of Middletown creek will be replaced. Stormwater will
be directed through new ditches.

Avoidance: All wetlands or surface waters not affected by the project will be
protected from unnecessary encroachment. No staging of construction equipment or
storage of construction supplies will be allowed in or near wetlands or surface waters.
Minimization: The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at
jurisdictional sites. No ditches will be constructed in wetland areas deeper than existing
ditches. Strict Enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best Management
Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project
construction. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces and the
Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to waters of the U.S. at
these sites.
Compensatory Mitigation: Construction of the project will result in more than
0.1 acres of total impacts to waters of the U.S., therefore mitigation is required. Impacts
have been minimized to the maximum extent possible during the design process. NC
DOT will provide wetland compensation in a 1:1 ratio at the Bishop Road mitigation site
(Table 4).

Regulatory Review
NCDOT has received concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Office that there
is no effect to any National Register or Study -listed properties within the subject projects
Area of Potential Effects.
Initial review of Natural Heritage data and a habitat field review show no effect of
threatened or endangered species found in Hyde County.
Permit Issues
The purpose of this letter is to request authorization under a CAMA major permit for
wetland impacts under CAMA jurisdiction. Notification for the use of this major permit
to the CAMA is required for this project since the discharge associated with the project is
within areas designated as coastal marshes and estuarine waters. Also, notification to the
ACOE and North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) for Section 401 Water
Quality Certificate (WQC) No. 3289 and Tar -Pamlico Buffer rule conditions is required
for this project for 404 wetland impacts. Notification to the ACOE and DWQ for non -
coastal impacts will be submitted in a separate Individual Permit application. NCDOT
will comply with all conditions associated with this CAMA major permit, the IP and
WQC conditions.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to upgrade and pave SR 1109 in Hyde County. There one
stream crossing and four contiguous wetland impacts associated with this project. Four
adjacent wetland communities will be impacted consisting of riverine pine flat, coastal
brackish marsh, and non -riparian pine flat wetlands for a total of 0.51 acres.
Compensation for wetland impacts will total 0.3 acres for riparian and non -riparian pine
flat and 0.2 acres for coastal brackish marsh making for total compensation of 0.51 acres.
The project is located in the Tar -Pamlico River Basin. Both a CAMA major permit and
an IP application are being submitted to the appropriate agencies for review. The NCDOT
will adhere to all applicable Section 404 IP, Section 401 WQCs, CAMA major
conditions, and Section 401 Tar -Pamlico Buffer rule conditions. If you have any
questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Kristen Shacochis at (252)
