a.
Will the project be for commercial, public, or private use? ®Commercial ❑PublidGovemment
❑Private/Community
b.
Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The 12 inch natural gas line will continue to provide gas transmission through the area. Since it's a buried pipe only, there
will be no daily maintenance or operation (other than gas transmission) in the project area.
c.
Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where it is to be stored.
The project consists of relocating the 12-inch gas line that is adjacent to the Highway 13 bridge over White Oak Swamp. The
gas line would be taken offline and left in place to minimize disturbance and relocated in new right-of-way approximately 100
feet west of the bridge. The total project length is approximately 850 feet. Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) would be
used to prevent any impacts to the stream channels of White Oak Swamp and minimize impacts to project area wetlands to
the maximum extent practicable. Clearing of a 40 foot ROW through forested wetland is required and would result in 0.23
acre of impact to wetlands. Impacts would consist of tree clearing only and would require mitigation. Clearing would be
done by hand, with no soil disturbance or heavy equipment in wetlands. The construction equipment would consist of a HDD
drill rig on one end of the HDD as shown on the plans. Other equipment would consist of light to medium construction
equipment (bulldozers, loaders, cranes and excavators). Heavy equipment would be used in upland areas only and outside
of CAMA and USACE jurisdictional areas.
d.
List all development activities you propose.
Development would consist of needed clearing for the pipeline and drill and pipe staging areas only. After construction, all
areas would be returned to pre-existing contours with no impervious surface or above ground structures.
e.
Are the proposed activities maintenance of an existing project, new work, or both? Both
f.
What is the approximate total disturbed land area resulting from the proposed project? 0.85 ❑Sq.Ft or ®Acres

Will the proposed project encroach on any public easement, public accessway or other area ❑Yes ®No ❑NA
that the public has established use of?
h.
Describe location and type of existing and proposed discharges to waters of the state.
No discharges to waters of the state are proposed.

Project Setting
RfiC IM
JUN 2 7 2013
DCM-MHD CITY
Mr. Stephen Bailey with Woodard & Curran, on behalf of Piedmont Natural Gas, has submitted the
attached application for a CAMA Major Permit to relocate a 12-inch diameter natural gas line. The project site
is located on the west side of US Hwy 13, NCDOT Bridge No. 53 crossing Whiteoak Swamp off the Cashie
River f5 miles north of the Town of Windsor and t0.25 miles south of NC Hwy 305 road split off US Hwy 13
in Bertie County, North Carolina.
Whiteoak Swamp is ±75' wide at the easement relocation area ±100' west of the US Hwy 13 bridge
crossing. There are no man-made features within the new easement area and the land elevation is fl' to t2' at
the bank of the creek with Section 404 wooded wetlands on both sides of the creek that transition to a high bank
upland area of f18' above normal water level (NWL). There's a fringe of standing hardwood swamp tree
species along both sides of the creek; however, much of the swamp has been recently logged, the majority of
which is adjacent to and south of the project crossing. The new easement totals 3.1 acres and is 40' wide;
therefore, shoreline length for the project is 80'.
The water depth of Whiteoak Swamp in the easement area ranges from 6" to 3' below NWL. Whiteoak
Swamp is classified C;Sw by the Environmental Management Commission and Inland Waters by the Wildlife
Resources Commission. Wbiteoak Swamp at this location is closed to shellfishing.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to abandon and leave in place a section of existing 12" natural gas line within the
NCDOT right-of-way adjacent US Hwy 13 across Whiteoak Swamp, and construct a new section of 12"
diameter natural gas line, relocated t100' west of the bridge within a new 40' wide easement through private
properties. The total project is 852 linear feet and is proposed via horizontal directional drilling (HDD),
resulting in 10-20 yds3 of upland spoil material located outside the 30' Area of Environmental Concern (AEC)
that will be placed back into drill pits once the line is installed. Clearing of t250' long by 40' wide (f 10,000 ftz)
wooded area of Section 404 wetlands is proposed by hand with no ground disturbance. The new gas line will
be installed at a minimum depth of 15' below the bottom contour of Wbiteoak Swamp.
Anticipated Impacts
Relocation of the 12" natural gas line will result in the clearing of 0.23 acres of forested wetlands with
no ground disturbance, and an additional temporary disturbance of 0.62 acres of uplands. Impacts for this
project are minimized by the installation via HDD.

FROM: Char lan Cvven1 CP, NE DCM District Planner
SUBJECT: Major Permit Request by Piedmont Natural Gas to relocate 825 linear feet of
12 inch diameter natural gas line across Whiteoak Swamp by horizontal
directional drill (HDD); within a 40 foot wide easement located 100 feet west of
US Highway 13 NCDOT Bridge No. 53, in Bertie County.
Date: July 1, 2013
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent with/not in conflict with the Bartle
County 1998 Land Use Plan certified by the CRC on
September 8, 1999.
Overview: The project site is a 40 foot wide by 3,376 foot long (3.1 acre) easement area
located 100 feet west of US Highway 13 NCDOT Bridge No. 53, with a portion crossing the
Whiteoak Swamp, off the Cashie River. The easement crosses a creek and the swamp, which
is 75 feet wide at the project site. Water depths at the swamp range from 6 inches to 3 feet
below Normal Water Level (NWL). Land elevation is 1 to 2 feet on both banks of the creek with
Section 404 wooded wetlands on both sides that transition to high bank upland area 18 feet
above NWL.
Relocation of 825 linear feet of 12 inch diameter natural gas line crossing Whiteoak Swamp by
horizontal directional drill (HDD) is proposed. The existing 12 inch diameter natural gas line that
is located west of the bridge within the NCDOT right-of-way will be abandoned. The new line
will be installed a minimum depth of 15 feet below the bottom contour of Whiteoak Swamp.
Whiteoak Swamp is classified as C (Aquatic Life, Secondary Recreational Freshwaters) and Sw
(Swamp Waters). The waters are closed to shellfish taking.
Anticipated impacts: resulting from this project are expected to include: the dredging with
horizontal directional drill (HDD) of 75 sq. ft. of Inland Waters Swamp Bottom; 400 sq. ft. of
Section 404 Wetlands, and 377 sq. ft. of Uplands; the crossing of CAMA jurisdictional stream
with HDD; the clearing of .23 acre of Section 404 Wetlands, and; the temporary disturbance of
.62 acre of Uplands.

8- PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to relocate 825' of a 12" natural gas line crossing
Whiteoak Swamp via horizontal directional drill (HDD).

Piedmont Natural Gas
Whiteoak Swamp
Bertie County
Project Setting
Mr. Stephen Bailey with Woodard & Curran, on behalf of Piedmont Natural Gas, has submitted the
attached application for a CAMA Major Permit to relocate a 12-inch diameter natural gas line. The project site
is located on the west side of US Hwy 13, NCDOT Bridge No. 53 crossing Whiteoak Swamp off the Cashie
River f5 miles north of the Town of Windsor and t0.25 miles south of NC Hwy 305 road split off US Hwy 13
in Bertie County, North Carolina.
Whiteoak Swamp is ±75' wide at the easement relocation area ±100' west of the US Hwy 13 bridge
crossing. There are no man-made features within the new easement area and the land elevation is tl' to t2' at
the bank of the creek with Section 404 wooded wetlands on both sides of the creek that transition to a high bank
upland area of ±18' above normal water level (NWL). There's a fringe of standing hardwood swamp tree
species along both sides of the creek; however, much of the swamp has been recently logged, the majority of
which is adjacent to and south of the project crossing. The new easement totals 3.1 acres and is 40' wide;
therefore, shoreline length for the project is 80'.
The water depth of Whiteoak Swamp in the easement area ranges from 6" to 3' below NWL. Whiteoak
Swamp is classified C;Sw by the Environmental Management Commission and Inland Waters by the Wildlife
Resources Commission. Whiteoak Swamp at this location is closed to shellfishing.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to abandon and leave in place a section of existing 12" natural gas line within the
NCDOT right-of-way adjacent US Hwy 13 across Whiteoak Swamp, and construct a new section of 12"
diameter natural gas line, relocated ±100' west of the bridge within a new 40' wide easement through private
properties. The total project is 852 linear feet and is proposed via horizontal directional drilling (HDD),
resulting in 10-20 yds3 of upland spoil material located outside the 30' Area of Environmental Concern (AEC)
that will be placed back into drill pits once the line is installed. Clearing of t250' long by 40' wide (+10,000 W)
wooded area of Section 404 wetlands is proposed by hand with no ground disturbance. The new gas line will
be installed at a minimum depth of 15' below the bottom contour of Whiteoak Swamp.
Anticipated Impacts
Relocation of the 12" natural gas line will result in the clearing of 0.23 acres of forested wetlands with
no ground disturbance, and an additional temporary disturbance of 0.62 acres of uplands. Impacts for this
project are minimized by the installation via HDD.

Re: Coastal Area Management Act Major Permit Application
Piedmont Natural Gas — Gas Line Relocation
Highway 13 over White Oak Swamp,
Bertie County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Hedrick:
On behalf of the applicant, Piedmont Natural Gas, Woodard & Curran is pleased to submit this Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA) Major Permit and Nationwide Permit 12 application to authorize a horizontal
directional drill crossing of a navigable stream under CAMA jurisdiction and jurisdictional
wetland impacts associated with relocation of the natural gas line along Highway 13 over White
Oak Swamp in Bertie County, North Carolina.
Woodard & Curran conducted a wetland/waters delineation based on the methodology outlined in the
November 2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual:
Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region on January 7, 2013. The project study area was also
assessed for the potential presence and location of federally threatened and endangered species
and their respective habitats.
During field studies, we located a single, braided lower perennial stream (White Oak Swamp)
within the project study area that the project would cross. Based on your site visit and follow up
email (dated February 5, 2013), we understand that the channels of White Oak Swamp within the
project area are considered navigable and subject to CAMA jurisdiction and INC Department of
Environment and Natural Resources Division of Coastal Management (NCDENR-DCM)
regulation. In addition wetland impacts associated with this project require a permit from the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
The project need and purpose, location, and other data that is necessary for submittal and
approval of the permits is found in the information herein, the attached maps, drawings, CAMA Major
Permit MP1 and CAMA Dredge and Fill MP2 forms. Please review the attached application and
figures and contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.
Project Need and Purpose
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has identified a number of bridges that
require replacement. The Highway 13 bridge over White Oak Swamp has been identified in need of
replacement. The applicant, Piedmont Natural Gas, owns a gas distribution lie th$nntly
located immediately adjacent to and west of the bridge. In order to facilitate theWdge rep acement.
JUL 0 S 2013
DCM-MfiD CITY

A the NCDOT requires the applicant to move the gas line away from the bridge and outside of the road
right-of-way (ROW).
A11111111-
Project Description
WOODARD The project consists of relocating the 12-inch gas line that is adjacent to the Highway 13 bridge over
&CURRAN White Oak Swamp. This portion of the gas line would be decommissioned and left in place to minimize
disturbance. The new segment of the gas line would be relocated to a new ROW approximately 100
feet west of the bridge. The total project length is approximately 850 feet. The use of horizontal
directional drilling (HDD) techniques are proposed to ensure that impacts to jurisdictional stream
channels within White Oak Swamp have been avoided completely and impacts to jurisdictional
wetlands have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable. Unavoidable impacts associated with
the clearing of a 40 foot ROW through forested wetlands are required and would result in 0.23 acre of
wetland impact. The proposed wetland impact consists of tree clearing only, which would be completed
by hand, with no soil disturbance or heavy equipment in wetlands. As such, compensatory mitigation to
offset these wetland losses is proposed.
Site Location
The project study area includes approximately three acres to the west of Highway 13 over White Oak
Swamp, and approximately 5.8 miles north of the City of Windsor in Bertie County, North Carolina. The
center of the project area is located at 36.07778,-76.97634. Refer to Attachment A for all figures and
project photographs. The project area is displayed on the Windsor North, North Carolina, United States
Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic map (Figure 1), within South Atlantic -Gulf Region
Hydrologic Unit Code 0301010708 (Headwaters Cashie River) of the Roanoke basin (Figure 2). Please
refer to Figures 3 and 4 for a flood zone map and soils map respectively.
Engineering and Construction
In an effort to provide consistency with the principle of CAMA, to "make sure that development within
areas of environmental concern (AEC) does not threaten public safety or the continued productivity and
value of important natural areas," this project has been designed to result in a minimal amount of
impacts to natural resources in the project area. No fill or soil disturbance to wetlands would occur.
Impacts to wetlands would result from hand clearing of forested areas for ROW establishment only.
Drill pads for the HDD would be located within uplands beyond any area under the jurisdiction of CAMA
or USACE.
During construction, applicable best management practices (BMPs) would be utilized to control erosion
and sedimentation, and prevent any discharge into jurisdictional waters. BMP design and installation
would comply with the NCDENR Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. If
unintentional release of material in jurisdictional waters occurs during HDD construction (frac-out),
corrective action would be implemented immediately and the USACE would be notified within 48 hours.
Following construction, the ROW would be seeded with appropriate native herbaceous wetland species
similar to nearby reference conditions as needed. Since the trees would be hand cleared, on -site shrub
and herbaceous species will not be disturbed or removed. Due to HDD of enllpno soil
disturbance in wetlands in anticipated. Since ground and shrub layer on- ` plant material would
remain intact, seeding or planting may not be required. JUL O 8 2013

Jurisdictional Studies
® During field delineation of the project area, one perennial stream and two jurisdictional wetlands were
® identified and located. Project construction would result in unavoidable permanent impacts due to
clearing of a forested wetland for project ROW within the forested portion of Wetland A and Wetland B.
WOODARD
WOODARD Impacts total 0.23 acre. Surveyed wetland boundaries and proposed impacts are shown on the project
Engineering Plans in Attachment C. Attachment H contains the USACE wetland/upland data forms. A
summary of findings is below.
Stream 1 (White Oak Swamp) is a lower perennial, low gradient stream system with a substrate of
sand, mud and organic material within the project study area (R2UB123). Observed bank height in the
area of recognizable channel is one to two feet with a water depth of six inches to three feet in areas.
The stream is braided upstream and downstream of the project area with many obstructions and areas
of extensive bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) knees. This stream system has moderate to high
quality habitat for wildlife.
Wetland A is a saturated emergent/forested wetland with a few areas of remaining forest cover along
the stream channel (PEM1B/PF0112B). The emergent portion of Wetland A is in a relatively recent
clear-cut condition, as evidenced by standing stumps of numerous large trees. The forested area is
primarily bald cypress near or in the stream and less frequent hardwoods that include musclewood
(Carpinus caroliniana) and red maple (Acer rubrum). The wetland has an abundance of micro -
depressions and areas of ponded water. Soils are strongly hydric and hydrology is apparent. Due to
extensive clearing, this wetland has moderate quality habitat for wildlife species.
Wetland B is a saturated forested wetland (PFO1 B) on the north side of Stream 1. The primary cover
along the stream is bald cypress and water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica) with a number of other hardwoods
in drier parts of the wetland including American holly (Ilex opaca), red maple, green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica) and musclewood. There is also a thick stand of giant cane (Arundinarfa gigantea)
throughout much of the wetland area near the stream channel. Due to the presence of a forested
wetland condition, this wetland has moderate to high quality wildlife habitat.
Historic and Cultural Resources
No evidence of historic or cultural resources was observed during field studies. The NC State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO) was contacted for records of the site and survey recommendations. The
SHPO does not have any records of cultural resources and, as such does not require surveys for this
project. Previously, the site was evaluated by the NCDOT for the bridge replacement project and the
SHPO concurred with the results that no cultural or historic resources were present on the project site.
Copies of NCDOT documents and well as SHPO coordination for this project are included in
Attachment E.
Flood Zone Designation
The North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program imagery of FEMA Firm Panel 5884 (attached) was
reviewed and the project would occur within the FEMA-designated 100 year floodplain. The project
would not result in any fill or above grade structures in the flood zone and would not cause a rise of any
flood elevations. RECEWW

history information was collected using IPaC and NatureServe (http://www.natureserve.org/1 files. This
list was used during field studies to assess the project study area for the potential presence of listed
species and their habitats.
The review indicated that five federally protected species are known to exist within or have the potential
to exist within Bettie County. Please refer to Table 1 for a summary of federally listed species of
possible occurrence, the appropriate federal designation for each species, and a brief description of
their respective habitats.

WOODARD Mitigation, Restoration and Best Management Practices
&CURRAN
Clearing of the required 40- foot ROW through forested wetlands would result in 0.23 acre of impact to
jurisdictional wetlands. Trees would be hand cleared with no soil disturbance within the wetland.
These wetland impacts require mitigation under USACE Wilmington District Regional Conditions for
conversion of a forested wetland. The USACE Regulatory In -lieu Fee and Bank Information Tracking
System (RIBITS) was reviewed(https:/Irsgisias.crrel.usace.armv.milhibits) for mitigation bank
information within the HUC of the project. According to RIBITS, no approved mitigation banks exist for
use in offsetting impacts in HUC 03010107. In addition, the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Quality approved mitigation bank list was
reviewed (http://portal.ncdenr.org/c/document library/get file?uuid=Obd3ee09-a658-468f-bc10-
e3a897636ee8&grouPId=383641. No state approved mitigation banks were listed within HUC
03010107. As a result, at a 1:1 ratio, purchase of 0.25 acre of riverine wetland credit from the
NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is proposed to compensate for the 0.23 acre of
wetland impact. Please refer to Attachment G for mitigation documentation.
During construction, all applicable best management practices (BMPs) would be utilized for erosion and
sedimentation controls. BMP design and usage would comply with the NCDENR Erosion and
Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. BMPs would prevent any off -site discharge or
discharge into jurisdictional waters. No impacts other than clearing are anticipated. If unintentional
release of material in jurisdictional waters occurs during HDD construction (frac-out), corrective action
would be implemented immediately and the USACE would be notified within 48 hours.
Following construction, the ROW would be seeded with appropriate native herbaceous wetland species
similar to nearby reference conditions as needed. Since the trees would be hand cleared, on -site shrub
and herbaceous species will not be disturbed or removed. Due to HDD of the entire area, no soil
disturbance in wetlands in anticipated. Since ground and shrub layer on -site plant material would
remain intact, seeding or planting may not be required.
Conclusions
A field delineation of jurisdictional waters identified one perennial stream system, one
emergent/forested jurisdictional wetland and one riverine forested wetland. No endangered species or
their respective habitats were observed or documented. No impacts to historic or cultural resources
would result from construction. Cumulative impacts total 0.23 acre of forested wetland clearing and
require compensatory mitigation purchase of 0.25 acre wetland credits from NCEEP as no mitigation
bank credits are available in the service area of the project. Based on the proposed activity, this project
qualifies under the terms and conditions of the CAMA Major Permit.

The 12 inch natural gas line will continue to provide gas transmission through the area. Since it's a buried pipe only, there
will be no daily maintenance or operation (other than gas transmission) in the project area.
c.
Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where it is to be stored.
The project consists of relocating the 12-inch gas line that is adjacent to the Highway 13 bridge over White Oak Swamp. The
gas line would be taken offtine and left in place to minimize disturbance and relocated in new right-of-way approximately 100
feet west of the bridge. The total project length is approximately 850 feet. Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) would be
used to prevent any impacts to the stream channels of White Oak Swamp and minimize impacts to project area wetlands to
the maximum extent practicable. Clearing of a 40 foot ROW through forested wetland is required and would result in 0.23
acre of impact to wetlands. Impacts would consist of tree clearing only and would require mitigation. Clearing would be
done by hand, with no soil disturbance or heavy equipment in wetlands. The construction equipment would consist of a HDD
drill rig on one end of the HDD as shown on the plans. Other equipment would consist of light to medium construction
equipment (bulldozers, loaders, cranes and excavators). Heavy equipment would be used in upland areas only and outside
of CAMA and USACE jurisdictional areas.
d.
List all development activities you propose.
Development would consist of needed clearing for the pipeline and drill and pipe staging areas only. After construction, all
areas would be returned to pre-existing contours with no impervious surface or above ground structures -

S.T.I.P. No. B-5141
INTRODUCTION: Bridge No. 53 is included in the latest approved North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Transportation Improvement Program and is eligible
for the Federal -Aid Highway Bridge Program. The location is shown in Figure 1. No
substantial environmental impacts are anticipated. The project is classified as a Federal
"Categorical Exclusion".
I. PURPOSE AND NEED STATEMENT
NCDOT Bridge Management Unit records indicate Bridge No. 53 has a sufficiency rating of
33.78 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The bridge is considered structurally deficient
due to a Deck Condition rating, Substructure rating, and Substructure rating of 4 out of 9
according to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards and therefore eligible for
FHWA's Highway Bridge Program. In addition, the structure is considered functionally
obsolete due to a deck geometry rating of 2 out of 9.
Components of both the concrete superstructure and concrete and timber substructure have
experienced an increasing degree of deterioration that can no longer be addressed by
maintenance activities. The bridge is approaching the end of its useful life. Replacement of
the bridge will result in safer traffic operations.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project is located south of the city limits of Askewville (see Figure I). Development in
the area is residential in nature.
US 13 is classified as a Minor arterial in the Statewide Functional Classification System and it
is a National Highway System Route.
In the vicinity of the bridge, US 13 has a 22-foot pavement width with 2-foot grass shoulders
(see Figure 3). The roadway grade is in a crest vertical curve through the project area. The $ REM
existing bridge is on a tangent. The roadway is situated approximately 15.0 feet above the
river bed. JUL 0 8 2013
Bridge No. 53 is a two span structure that consists of a concrete and asphalt deck on DCAf-M)1D
reinforced concrete deck girders supported by reinforced concrete abutments and RNP & Web'
piers with timber piles. The existing bridge (see Figure 3) was constructed in 1924 and
rehabbed in 1949. The overall length of the structure is 79 feet. The clear roadway width is
26.0 feet. The bridge is presently not posted for legal load limit.

There are no utilities attached to the existing structure. Telephone and fiber optic exist along
the North side of project; underground and aerial at bridge. A natural gas line runs parallel to
the road along the southwest side. Utility impacts are anticipated to be high.
The current estimated traffic volume of 5,500 vehicles per day (VPD) is expected to increase
to 9,500 VPD by the year 2035. The projected volume includes five percent truck -tractor
semi -trailer (TTST) and seven percent dual -tired vehicles (DT). The posted speed limit is 55
miles per hour in the project area.
There were four accidents reported in the vicinity of Bridge No. 53 during a recent three-year
period. None of the accidents were associated with the alignment or geometry of the bridge or
its approach roadway; road condition being the primary cause.
This section of US 13 is not located along a designated bike route, and sidewalks do not exist
on the existing bridge; therefore, accommodations for bicycles and/or pedestrians will not be
provided.
III. ALTERNATIVES
A. Preferred Alternative
Bridge No. 53 will be replaced on the existing alignment while traffic will be maintained
onsite using a temporary structure (see Figure 2).
The permanent replacement structure will be a bridge approximately 110 feet long providing a
minimum 40 feet clear deck width. The bridge will include two 12-foot lanes and Moot
offsets on each side. The bridge length is based on preliminary design information and is set
by hydraulic requirements. The roadway grade of the new structure will be approximately
one -foot above the existing structure.
The approach roadway will extend approximately 360 feet from the east end of the new bridge
and 330 feet from the west end of the new bridge. The approaches will be widened to include
a 24-foot pavement width providing two 12-foot lanes. Eight -foot shoulders will be provided
on each side (I1-footshoulders where guardrail is included); four of which will be full depth
pavement. The roadway will be designed using AASHTO guidelines with a 60 mile per hour
design speed.
An offsite detour is not available for this project.
NCDOT Division 1 concurs that this is the preferred alternative.
JUL 0 8 2013
B. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Consideration DCM-MRDCnY
An alternative which would replace the existing structure along a new alignment to the south
while maintaining traffic on the existing bridge was considered and eliminated due to
anticipated costs as well as permanent impacts to wetland areas.

An alternative which would replace the existing structure along a new alignment to the north
while maintaining traffic on the existing bridge, phasing construction and shifting traffic, was
considered and eliminated due to anticipated costs as well as permanent impacts to wetland
areas.
The "do-nothing" alternative will eventually necessitate closure of the bridge. This is not
acceptable due to the traffic service provided by US 13.
"Rehabilitation" of the old bridge is not practical due to its age and deteriorated condition.
Staged Construction is not feasible for this bridge because the deck type and substructure will
not support removal of an effective portion and maintenance of traffic on the remaining
portion.

The study area lies in the northern outer coastal plain physiographic region of NC.
Topography in the project vicinity is generally flat. Elevations in the study area range from 2
to 10 foot above sea level. Land use in the project vicinity consists primarily of forestland,
agriculture, and residential development.
Water Resources
Water resources in the study area are part of the Roanoke River basin (U.S. Geological Survey
[USGS] Hydrologic Unit 03010107). One stream, White Oak Swamp, was identified in the
study area.

The White Oak Swamp has not been designated as a High Quality Water (HQW), Outstanding
Resource Water (ORW) or water supply watersheds (WS-I or WS-II) within 1.0 mile
downstream of the study area. No waters listed on the NC 2012 Final 303 (d) list of impaired
waters for sedimentation occur with 1.0 mile of the study area.
Biotic Resources
Four terrestrial communities were identified in the study area: maintained -disturbed riverine
swamp forest, bottomland hardwood forest, and upland hardwood forest.
Terrestrial communities in the study area are comprised of both natural and disturbed habitats
that may support a diversity of wildlife species.
Invasive Species
Four species from the NCDOT Invasive Exotic Plant List for North Carolina were found in
the project study area; three threat level 1, and one threat level 2.
Surface Waters and Wetlands
One jurisdictional stream was identified in the study area and has been designated as warm
water streams for the purpose of stream mitigation.
Two jurisdictional wetlands were identified within the study area. Both are within the
Roanoke River basin (USGS Hydrologic Unit 03010107).
Construction Moratoria
White Oak Swamp has been identified by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC) as an anadromous fish habitat. Based on this designation a mandatory in -water
construction moratorium will be in effect from February 15 to June 15.
Permits
In accordance with provisions of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344), a
section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 23 from the USACE is likely to be applicable for all
impacts to Waters of the United States resulting from this project. A NWP 33 may be gp
required for this project. A North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Section 40 "Mift
Water Quality General Certification is required prior to the issuance of the Section 404
NWP 23 and/or NWP 33. JUL 0 8 2013
Federally Protected Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of Endangered or Threatened are protected
under the provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The

United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists three species under federal protection
for Carteret County as of September 20, 2012:
Red cockaded woodpecker Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the red cockaded woodpecker does not exist in the study area. A review
of NCNHP records indicates there are no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study
area.
Shortnose sturgeon Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the shortnose sturgeon does not exist in the study area. A review of
NCNHP records indicates there are no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area.
Atlantic sturgeon Biological Conclusion: Undetermined
This species has recently been added to the Bertie County list as an Endangered or Threatened
species. The project study area will be evaluated for possible habitat and, if necessary,
NCDOT will coordinate with the appropriate agencies.
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forest in proximity to large bodies of
open water for foraging. Large dominate trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically
within 1.0 mile of open water. Suitable habitat for the bald eagle is not present in the study
area or within a distance of 660 feet on all sides.
VI. HUMAN ENVIRONMENT
Section 106 Compliance Guidelines
This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act of 1966, as amended, and implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified at Title 36 CFR Part
800. Section 106 requires Federal agencies to take into account the effect of their undertakings
(federally funded, licensed, or permitted) on properties included in or eligible for inclusion in
the National Register of Historic Places and afford the Advisory Council a reasonable
opportunity to comment on such undertakings.
Historic Architecture
The N.C. Historic Preservation Office (HPO) evaluated data provided by NCDOT and
concluded that no properties qualified for consideration for the National Register of Hi
torid2ECEi�p
Places (see attached letter dated December 11, 2008).
Archaeology JUL 0 8 2013
The N.C. Historic Preservation Office (HPO) indicated no surveys for archaeology is reNADCMy
(see attached letter dated December 11, 2008).

Community Impacts
No adverse impact on families or communities is anticipated. Right-of-way acquisition will
be limited. No relocations are expected with implementation of the proposed alternative.
No adverse effect on public facilities or services is expected. The project is not expected to
adversely affect social, economic, or religious opportunities in the area.
The project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulation. No change
in land use is expected to result from the construction of the project.
The project will not have a disproportionately high and adverse human health and
environmental effect on any minority or low-income population.
Noise & Air Quality
The project is located in Bertie County, which has been determined to comply with the
National Air Quality Standards. The proposed project is located in an attainment area;
therefore, 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93 are not applicable. This project is not anticipated to create
any adverse effects on the air quality of this attainment area.
This project will not result in any meaningful changes in traffic volume, vehicle mix, location
of the existing facility, or any other factor that would cause an increase in emissions impacts
relative to the no -build alternative. As such FHWA has determined that this project will
generate minimal air quality impacts for Clean Air Act criteria pollutants and has not been
linked with any special MSAT concerns. Consequently this effort is exempt from analysis for
MSAT's.
Noise levels may increase during project construction; however, these impacts are not
expected to be substantial considering the relatively short-term nature of construction noise
and the limitation of construction to daytime hours. The transmission loss characteristics of
nearby natural elements and man-made structures are believed to be sufficient to moderate the
effects of intrusive construction noise.
Rscmft
VII. GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
JUL 0 8 2013
The project is expected to have an overall positive impact. Replacement of an inadequate
bridge will result in safer traffic operations. DCWf-MHDC7TP
The bridge replacement will not have an adverse effect on the quality of the human or natural
environment with the use of the current North Carolina Department of Transportation
standards and specifications.
Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (49 U.S.0 303) protects the use
of publicly owned parks, recreational areas, wildlife/waterfowl refuges, and historic

properties. The proposed project will not require right-of-way acquisition or easement from
any land protected under Section 4(f).
An examination of records at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, Division of Environmental Management, Groundwater Section and the North
Carolina Department of Human Resources, Solid Waste Management Section revealed no
underground storage tanks or hazardous waste sites in the project area.
Bettie County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program. There are no
practical alternatives to crossing the floodplain area. Any shift in alignment will result in an
impact area of about the same magnitude. The proposed project is not anticipated to increase
the level or extent of upstream flood potential.
VIII. COORDINATION & AGENCY COMMENTS
NCDOT has sought input from the following agencies as a part of the project development:
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NC Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service, N.0 Wildlife Resource Commission, N.C. Division of Coastal Management, N.C.
Division of Parks & Recreation, North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, Bertie
County Planning Department, N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries
Service.
The N.C. Wildlife Resource Commission and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in standardized
letters provided a request that they prefer any replacement structure to be a spanning structure.
IX. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
A letter was sent by the Location & Surveys Unit to all property owners affected directly by
this project. Property owners were invited to comment. No comments have been received to
date.
There is not substantial controversy on social, economic, or environmental grounds
concerning the project.
X. CONCLUSION
On the basis of the above discussion, it is concluded that no substantial adverse environmental
impacts will result from implementation of the project. The project is therefore considered to
be a federal "Categorical Exclusion" due to its limited scope and lack of substantial
environmental consequences. RECER'SD

Statement of Compliance with Session Law 2009-337 An Act to Promote
the Use of Compensatory Mitigation Banks and SL 2011-343.
(link to SL 2009-337) (link to SIL 20111443)
Prior to accessing the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) In -Lieu Fee Mitigation
Program, all applicants requesting wetlands, stream and/or riparian buffer mitigation are now
required by law to comply with Session Law 2009-337 An Act to Promote the Use of
Compensatory Mitigation Banks as well as Session Law 2011-343, which made changes to
the definition of "government entities." All requests submitted on or after June 27, 2011
MUST include this form signed and dated by the permit applicant or an authorized agent.
Please refer to DENR's Implementation Policy for more detailed guidance.
Compliance Statement:
I have read and understand SL-2009-337 and SL-2011-343 and have, to the best of my
knowledge, complied with their requirements. I understand that participation in the
NCEEP is voluntary and subject to.approval by permitting agencies.
Please check all that apply:
Applicant is a Federal or State Government Entity or a unit of local government
meeting the requirements set forth In G.S. 143-214.11 (as amended by SL 2011-
343) and is not required to purchase credits from a mitigation bank.
x There are no listed mitigation banks with the requested credit type located in the
hydrologic unit where this impact will take place (link to DWQ list) (see "approved
mitigation bank" link under "Options for compensatory mitigation" heading)
Mitigation bank(s) in the hydrologic unit where the impacts will occur have been
contacted and credits are not available.
The DWQ or the Corps of Engineers did not approve of the use of a mitigation
bank for the required compensatory mitigation for this project.
This is a renewal request and the permit application is under review. Bank
credits were not available at the time the application was submitted.
Enter date permit application was submitted for review:
Note: It is the applicant's responsibility to document any inquiries made to private mitigation
banks regarding credit availability.
I have read and understand EEP's refund policies (attached)

Charlotte, NC 28210
Dear Mr. Albers:
The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your
application for State approval for development of your property located on the West side of US
Hwy 13, NCDOT Bridge No. 53 crossing Whiteoak Swamp off the Cashie River f5 miles north
of the Town of Windsor and f0.25 miles south of the Hwy 305 split in Bertie County, North
Carolina. It was received on 24 June 2013, and appears to be adequate for processing at this time.
The projected deadline for making a decision is 7 September 2013. 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.
If this agency does not render a permit decision within 70 days from the 24 June 2013,
you may request a meeting with the Director of the Division of Coastal Management and permit
staff to discuss the status of your project. Such a meeting will be held within five working days
from the receipt of your written request and shall include the property owner, developer, and
project designer/consultant.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the
proposed development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing" postcard which must
be posted at the property of your proposed development. You should post this notice at a
conspicuous point along your property where it can be observed from a public road. Some
examples would be: Nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-
way fronting your property, or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would
lead one into your property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.

Re: Coastal Area Management Act Major Permit Application JUN 2 7 2013
Piedmont Natural Gas — Gas Line Relocation
Highway 13 over White Oak Swamp,
Bertie County, North Carolina` t' Cr!Y
Dear Ms. Hedrick:
On behalf of the applicant, Piedmont Natural Gas, Woodard & Curran is pleased to submit this Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA) Major Permit and Nationwide Permit 12 application to authorize a horizontal
directional drill crossing of a navigable stream under CAMA jurisdiction and jurisdictional
wetland impacts associated with relocation of the natural gas line along Highway 13 over White
Oak Swamp in Bertie County, North Carolina.
Woodard & Curran conducted a wetlandlwaters delineation based on the methodology outlined in the
November 2010 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual:
Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region on January 7, 2013. The project study area was also
assessed for the potential presence and location of federally threatened and endangered species
and their respective habitats.
During field studies, we located a single, braided lower perennial stream (White Oak Swamp)
within the project study area that the project would cross. Based on your site visit and follow up
email (dated February 5, 2013), we understand that the channels of White Oak Swamp within the
project area are considered navigable and subject to CAMA jurisdiction and NC Department of
Environment and Natural Resources Division of Coastal Management (NCDENR-DCM)
regulation. In addition wetland impacts associated with this project require a permit from the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE).
The project need and purpose, location, and other data that is necessary for submittal and
approval of the permits is found in the information herein, the attached maps, drawings, CAMA Major
Permit MP1 and CAMA Dredge and Fill MP2 forms. Please review the attached application and
figures and contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.
Project Need and Purpose
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has identified a number of bridges that
require replacement. The Highway 13 bridge over White Oak Swamp has been identified in need of
replacement. The applicant, Piedmont Natural Gas, owns a gas distribution line that is currently
located immediately adjacent to and west of the bridge. In order to facilitate the bridge replacement,

RECEIVED
JUN 2 7 2013
the NCDOT requires the applicant to move the gas line away from the bridge and outside of the road
right-of-way (ROW). DIM— 11D C: y
Project Description
WOODARD The project consists of relocating the 12-inch gas line that is adjacent to the Highway 13 bridge over
&CURRAN White Oak Swamp. This portion of the gas line would be decommissioned and left in place to minimize
disturbance. The new segment of the gas line would be relocated to a new ROW approximately 100
feet west of the bridge. The total project length is approximately 850 feet. The use of horizontal
directional drilling (HDD) techniques are proposed to ensure that impacts to jurisdictional stream
channels within White Oak Swamp have been avoided completely and impacts to jurisdictional
wetlands have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable. Unavoidable impacts associated with
the clearing of a 40 foot ROW through forested wetlands are required and would result in 0.23 acre of
wetland impact. The proposed wetland impact consists of tree clearing only, which would be completed
by hand, with no soil disturbance or heavy equipment in wetlands. As such, compensatory mitigation to
offset these wetland losses is proposed.
Site Location
The project study area includes approximately three acres to the west of Highway 13 over White Oak
Swamp, and approximately 5.8 miles north of the City of Windsor in Bertie County, North Carolina. The
center of the project area is located at 36.07778,-76.97634. Refer to Attachment A for all figures and
project photographs. The project area is displayed on the Windsor North, North Carolina, United States
Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic map (Figure 1), within South Atlantic -Gulf Region
Hydrologic Unit Code 0301010708 (Headwaters Cashie River) of the Roanoke basin (Figure 2). Please
refer to Figures 3 and 4 for a flood zone map and soils map respectively.
Engineering and Construction
in an effort to provide consistency with the principle of CAMA, to "make sure that development within
areas of environmental concern (AEC) does not threaten public safety or the continued productivity and
value of important natural areas," this project has been designed to result in a minimal amount of
impacts to natural resources in the project area. No fill or soil disturbance to wetlands would occur.
Impacts to wetlands would result from hand clearing of forested areas for ROW establishment only.
Drill pads for the HDD would be located within uplands beyond any area under the jurisdiction of CAMA
or USACE.
During construction, applicable best management practices (BMPs) would be utilized to control erosion
and sedimentation, and prevent any discharge into jurisdictional waters. BMP design and installation
would comply with the NCDENR Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. If
unintentional release of material in jurisdictional waters occurs during HDD construction (frac-out),
corrective action would be implemented immediately and the USACE would be notified within 48 hours.
Following construction, the ROW would be seeded with appropriate native herbaceous wetland species
similar to nearby reference conditions as needed. Since the trees would be hand cleared, on -site shrub
and herbaceous species will not be disturbed or removed. Due to HDD of the entire area, no soil
disturbance in wetlands in anticipated. Since ground and shrub layer on -site plant material would
remain intact, seeding or planting may not be required.

Jurisdictional Studies DCIa'-!11t'.D C'TY
During field delineation of the project area, one perennial stream and two jurisdictional wetlands were
_ ` identified and located. Project construction would result in unavoidable permanent impacts due to
clearing of a forested wetland for project ROW within the forested portion of Wetland A and Wetland B.
WOODARD
WOODARD Impacts total 0.23 acre. Surveyed wetland boundaries and proposed impacts are shown on the project
Engineering Plans in Attachment C. Attachment H contains the USACE wetland/upland data forms. A
summary of findings is below.
Stream 1 (White Oak Swamp) is a lower perennial, low gradient stream system with a substrate of
sand, mud and organic material within the project study area (R21.18123). Observed bank height in the
area of recognizable channel is one to two feet with a water depth of six inches to three feet in areas.
The stream is braided upstream and downstream of the project area with many obstructions and areas
of extensive bald cypress (Taxodium disfichum) knees. This stream system has moderate to high
quality habitat for wildlife.
Wetland A is a saturated emergent/forested wetland with a few areas of remaining forest cover along
the stream channel (PEMIB1PF0112B). The emergent portion of Wetland A is in a relatively recent
clear-cut condition, as evidenced by standing stumps of numerous large trees. The forested area is
primarily bald cypress near or in the stream and less frequent hardwoods that include musclewood
(Carpinus caroliniana) and red maple (Acer rubrum). The wetland has an abundance of micro -
depressions and areas of ponded water. Soils are strongly hydric and hydrology is apparent. Due to
extensive clearing, this wetland has moderate quality habitat for wildlife species.
Wetland B is a saturated forested wetland (PF01B) on the north side of Stream 1. The primary cover
along the stream is bald cypress and water tupelo (Nyssa equatica) with a number of other hardwoods
in drier parts of the wetland including American holly (Ilex opaca), red maple, green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica) and musclewood. There is also a thick stand of giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea)
throughout much of the wetland area near the stream channel. Due to the presence of a forested
wetland condition, this wetland has moderate to high quality wildlife habitat.
Historic and Cultural Resources
No evidence of historic or cultural resources was observed during field studies. The NC State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO) was contacted for records of the site and survey recommendations. The
SHPO does not have any records of cultural resources and, as such does not require surveys for this
project. Previously, the site was evaluated by the NCDOT for the bridge replacement project and the
SHPO concurred with the results that no cultural or historic resources were present on the project site.
Copies of NCDOT documents and well as SHPO coordination for this project are included in
Attachment E.
Flood Zone Designation
The North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program imagery of FEMA Finn Panel 5884 (attached) was
reviewed and the project would occur within the FEMA-designated 100 year floodplain. The project
would not result in any fill or above grade structures in the flood zone and would not cause a rise of any
flood elevations.

Mitigation, Restoration and Best Management Practices
Clearing of the required 40- foot ROW through forested wetlands would result in 0.23 acre of impact to
jurisdictional wetlands. Trees would be hand cleared with no soil disturbance within the wetland.
These wetland impacts require mitigation under USACE Wilmington District Regional Conditions for
conversion of a forested wetland. The USACE Regulatory In -lieu Fee and Bank Information Tracking
System (RIBITS) was reviewed (https://rsqisias.crrel.usace.army.mil/dbits for mitigation bank
information within the HUC of the project. According to RIBITS, no approved mitigation banks exist for
use in offsetting impacts in HUC 03010107. In addition, the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Quality approved mitigation bank list was
reviewed (http://portal.ncdenr.org/c/document library/get filevuuid=Obd3ee09-a658-468f-bc10-
e3a897636ee8&groupld=38364). No state approved mitigation banks were listed within HUC
03010107. As a result, at a 1:1 ratio, purchase of 0.25 acre of riverine wetland credit from the
NCDENR Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is proposed to compensate for the 0.23 acre of
wetland impact. Please refer to Attachment G for mitigation documentation.
During construction, all applicable best management practices (BMPs) would be utilized for erosion and
sedimentation controls. BMP design and usage would comply with the NCDENR Erosion and
Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. BMPs would prevent any off -site discharge or
discharge into jurisdictional waters. No impacts other than clearing are anticipated. If unintentional
release of material in jurisdictional waters occurs during HDD construction (frac-out), corrective action
would be implemented immediately and the USACE would be notified within 48 hours.
Following construction, the ROW would be seeded with appropriate native herbaceous wetland species
similar to nearby reference conditions as needed. Since the trees would be hand cleared, on -site shrub
and herbaceous species will not be disturbed or removed. Due to HDD of the entire area, no soil
disturbance in wetlands in anticipated. Since ground and shrub layer on -site plant material would
remain intact, seeding or planting may not be required.
Conclusions
A field delineation of jurisdictional waters identified one perennial stream system, one
emergent/forested jurisdictional wetland and one riverine forested wetland. No endangered species or
their respective habitats were observed or documented. No impacts to historic or cultural resources
would result from construction. Cumulative impacts total 0.23 acre of forested wetland clearing and
require compensatory mitigation purchase of 0.25 acre wetland credits from NCEEP as no mitigation
bank credits are available in the service area of the project. Based on the proposed activity, this project
qualifies under the terms and conditions of the CAMA Major Permit.

DCNf-VL") CITY
INTRODUCTION: Bridge No. 53 is included in the latest approved North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Transportation Improvement Program and is eligible
for the Federal -Aid Highway Bridge Program. The location is shown in Figure 1. No
substantial environmental impacts are anticipated. The project is classified as a Federal
"Categorical Exclusion".
I. PURPOSE AND NEED STATEMENT
NCDOT Bridge Management Unit records indicate Bridge No. 53 has a sufficiency rating of
33.78 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The bridge is considered structurally deficient
due to a Deck Condition rating, Substructure rating, and Substructure rating of 4 out of 9
according to Federal Highway Administration (FH WA) standards and therefore eligible for
FHWA's Highway Bridge Program. In addition, the structure is considered functionally
obsolete due to a deck geometry rating of 2 out of 9.
Components of both the concrete superstructure and concrete and timber substructure have
experienced an increasing degree of deterioration that can no longer be addressed by
maintenance activities. The bridge is approaching the end of its useful life. Replacement of
the bridge will result in safer traffic operations.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project is located south of the city limits of Askewville (see Figure 1). Development in
the area is residential in nature.
US 13 is classified as a Minor arterial in the Statewide Functional Classification System and it
is a National Highway System Route.
In the vicinity of the bridge, US 13 has a 22-foot pavement width with 2-foot grass shoulders
(see Figure 3). The roadway grade is in a crest vertical curve through the project area. The
existing bridge is on a tangent. The roadway is situated approximately 15.0 feet above the
river bed.
Bridge No. 53 is a two span structure that consists of a concrete and asphalt deck on
reinforced concrete deck girders supported by reinforced concrete abutments and RNP & Web
piers with timber piles. The existing bridge (see Figure 3) was constructed in 1924 and
rehabbed in 1949. The overall length of the structure is 79 feet. The clear roadway width is
26.0 feet. The bridge is presently not posted for legal load limit.

There are no utilities attached to the existing structure. Telephone and fiber optic exist along
the North side of project; underground and aerial at bridge. A natural gas line runs parallel to
1 the road along the southwest side. Utility impacts are anticipated to be high.
The current estimated traffic volume of 5,500 vehicles per day (VPD) is expected to increase
to 9,500 VPD by the year 2035. The projected volume includes five percent truck -tractor
semi -trailer (TTST) and seven percent dual -tired vehicles (DT). The posted speed limit is 55
miles per hour in the project area.
There were four accidents reported in the vicinity of Bridge No. 53 during a recent three-year
period. None of the accidents were associated with the alignment or geometry of the bridge or
its approach roadway; road condition being the primary cause.
This section of US 13 is not located along a designated bike route, and sidewalks do not exist
on the existing bridge; therefore, accommodations for bicycles and/or pedestrians will not be
provided.
III. ALTERNATIVES
A. Preferred Alternative
Bridge No. 53 will be replaced on the existing alignment while traffic will be maintained
onsite using a temporary structure (see Figure 2).
The permanent replacement structure will be a bridge approximately 110 feet long providing a
minimum 40 feet clear deck width. The bridge will include two 12-foot lanes and 8-foot
offsets on each side. The bridge length is based on preliminary design information and is set
by hydraulic requirements. The roadway grade of the new structure will be approximately
one -foot above the existing structure.
The approach roadway will extend approximately 360 feet from the east end of the new bridge
and 330 feet from the west end of the new bridge. The approaches will be widened to include
a 24-foot pavement width providing two 12-foot lanes. Eight -foot shoulders will be provided
on each side (11-foot shoulders where guardrail is included); four of which will be full depth
pavement. The roadway will be designed using AASHTO guidelines with a 60 mile per hour
design speed.
An offsite detour is not available for this project.
RECEIVED
NCDOT Division 1 concurs that this is the preferred alternative. JUN 2 7 2013
B. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Consideration DCM-MAD CITY
An alternative which would replace the existing structure along a new alignment to the south
while maintaining traffic on the existing bridge was considered and eliminated due to
anticipated costs as well as permanent impacts to wetland areas.

An alternative which would replace the existing structure along a new alignment to the north
while maintaining traffic on the existing bridge, phasing construction and shifting traffic, was
considered and eliminated due to anticipated costs as well as permanent impacts to wetland
areas.
The "do-nothing" alternative will eventually necessitate closure of the bridge. This is not
acceptable due to the traffic service provided by US 13.
"Rehabilitation" of the old bridge is not practical due to its age and deteriorated condition.
Staged Construction is not feasible for this bridge because the deck type and substructure will
not support removal of an effective portion and maintenance of traffic on the remaining
portion.

Physical Characteristics
RECEIVED
JUN 2 7 2013
DC-V,TV!!D C'TY
The study area lies in the northern outer coastal plain physiographic region of NC.
Topography in the project vicinity is generally flat. Elevations in the study area range from 2
to 10 foot above sea level. Land use in the project vicinity consists primarily of forestland,
agriculture, and residential development.
Water Resources
Water resources in the study area are part of the Roanoke River basin (U.S. Geological Survey
[USGS] Hydrologic Unit 03010107). One stream, White Oak Swamp, was identified in the
study area.

The White Oak Swamp has not been designated as a High Quality Water (HQW), Outstanding
Resource Water (ORW) or water supply watersheds (WS-I or WS-II) within 1.0 mile
downstream of the study area. No waters listed on the NC 2012 Final 303 (d) list of impaired
waters for sedimentation occur with 1.0 mile of the study area.
Biotic Resources
Four terrestrial communities were identified in the study area: maintained -disturbed riverine
swamp forest, bottomland hardwood forest, and upland hardwood forest.
Terrestrial communities in the study area are comprised of both natural and disturbed habitats
that may support a diversity of wildlife species.
Invasive Species
Four species from the NCDOT Invasive Exotic Plant List for North Carolina were found in
the project study area; three threat level 1, and one threat level 2.
Surface Waters and Wetlands
One jurisdictional stream was identified in the study area and has been designated as warm
water streams for the purpose of stream mitigation.
Two jurisdictional wetlands were identified within the study area. Both are within the
Roanoke River basin (USGS Hydrologic Unit 03010107).
RECEIVED
Construction Moratoria
JUN 17 2013
White Oak Swamp has been identified by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC) as an anadromous fish habitat. Based on this designation a mandatory in -water
construction moratorium will be in effect from February 15 to June 15. DCM-MHD CrfY
Permits
In accordance with provisions of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344), a
section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 23 from the USACE is likely to be applicable for all
impacts to Waters of the United States resulting from this project. A NWP 33 may be
required for this project. A North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Section 401
Water Quality General Certification is required prior to the issuance of the Section 404
NWP 23 and/or NWP 33.
Federally Protected Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of Endangered or Threatened are protected
under the provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The

United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists three species under federal protection
for Carteret County as of September 20, 2012:
Red.cockaded woodpecker Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the red cockaded woodpecker does not exist in the study area. A review
of NCNHP records indicates there are no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study
area.
Shortnose sturgeon Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for the shortnose sturgeon does not exist in the study area. A review of
NCNHP records indicates there are no known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area.
Atlantic sturgeon Biological Conclusion: Undetermined
This species has recently been added to the Bertie County list as an Endangered or Threatened
species. The project study area will be evaluated for possible habitat and, if necessary,
NCDOT will coordinate with the appropriate agencies.
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forest in proximity to large bodies of
open water for foraging. Large dominate trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically
within 1.0 mile of open water. Suitable habitat for the bald eagle is not present in the study
area or within a distance of 660 feet on all sides.

VI. HUMAN ENVIRONMENT
JUN 2 7 2013
Section 106 Compliance Guidelines
This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preserva io'�n CITY
Act of 1966, as amended, and implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified at Title 36 CFR Part
800. Section 106 requires Federal agencies to take into account the effect of their undertakings
(federally funded, licensed, or permitted) on properties included in or eligible for inclusion in
the National Register of Historic Places and afford the Advisory Council a reasonable
opportunity to comment on such undertakings.
Historic Architecture
The N.C. Historic Preservation Office (HPO) evaluated data provided by NCDOT and
concluded that no properties qualified for consideration for the National Register of Historic
Places (see attached letter dated December 11, 2008).
Archaeology
The N.C. Historic Preservation Office (HPO) indicated no surveys for archaeology is required
(see attached letter dated December 11, 2008).

Community Impacts
No adverse impact on families or communities is anticipated. Right-of-way acquisition will
be limited. No relocations are expected with implementation of the proposed alternative.
No adverse effect on public facilities or services is expected. The project is not expected to
adversely affect social, economic, or religious opportunities in the area.
The project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulation. No change
in land use is expected to result from the construction of the project.
The project will not have a disproportionately high and adverse human health and
environmental effect on any minority or low-income population.
Noise & Air Quality
The project is located in Bertie County, which has been determined to comply with the
National Air Quality Standards. The proposed project is located in an attainment area;
therefore, 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93 are not applicable. This project is not anticipated to create
any adverse effects on the air quality of this attainment area.
This project will not result in any meaningful changes in traffic volume, vehicle mix, location
of the existing facility, or any other factor that would cause an increase in emissions impacts
relative to the no -build alternative. As such FHWA has determined that this project will
generate minimal air quality impacts for Clean Air Act criteria pollutants and has not been
linked with any special MSAT concerns. Consequently this effort is exempt from analysis for
MSAT's.
Noise levels may increase during project construction; however, these impacts are not
expected to be substantial considering the relatively short-term nature of construction noise
and the limitation of construction to daytime hours. The transmission loss characteristics of
nearby natural elements and man-made structures are believed to be sufficient to moderate the
effects of intrusive construction noise. RECEIVED
VII. GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS JUN 2 7 2013
The project is expected to have an overall positive impact. Replacement of an inadequ-MHD CITY
bridge will result in safer traffic operations.
The bridge replacement will not have an adverse effect on the quality of the human or natural
environment with the use of the current North Carolina Department of Transportation
standards and specifications.
Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (49 U.S.0 303) protects the use
of publicly owned parks, recreational areas, wildlife/waterfowl refuges, and historic

properties. The proposed project will not require right-of-way acquisition or easement from
any land protected under Section 4(f).
An examination of records at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, Division of Environmental Management, Groundwater Section and the North
Carolina Department of Human Resources, Solid Waste Management Section revealed no
underground storage tanks or hazardous waste sites in the project area.
Bertie County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program. There are no
practical alternatives to crossing the floodplain area. Any shift in alignment will result in an
impact area of about the same magnitude. The proposed project is not anticipated to increase
the level or extent of upstream flood potential.
VIII. COORDINATION & AGENCY COMMENTS
NCDOT has sought input from the following agencies as a part of the project development:
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NC Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service, N.0 Wildlife Resource Commission, N.C. Division of Coastal Management, N.C.
Division of Parks & Recreation, North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, Bertie
County Planning Department, N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries
Service.
The N.C. Wildlife Resource Commission and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in standardized
letters provided a request that they prefer any replacement structure to be a spanning structure.
IX. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
A letter was sent by the Location & Surveys Unit to all property owners affected directly by
this project. Property owners were invited to comment. No comments have been received to
date.
There is not substantial controversy on social, economic, or environmental grounds
concerning the project.
X. CONCLUSION
On the basis of the above discussion, it is concluded that no substantial adverse environmental
impacts will result from implementation of the project. The project is therefore considered to
be a federal "Categorical Exclusion" due to its limited scope and lack of substantial
environmental consequences.

Highway 13 over White Oak Swamp
Gas Line Relocation
Berne County, North Carolina
Dear Cooper Peel Properties Representatives:
Piedmont Natural Gas is applying for a CAMA Major permit to relocate the 12-inch natural gas pipeline
that is adjacent to the Highway 13 bridge over White Oak Swamp. The gas line would be taken oifline
and left in place to minimize disturbance and relocated in new right-of-way approximately 100 feet west
of the bridge. Horizontal directional drilling would be used to prevent any impacts to White Oak Swamp
and minimize impacts to project area wetlands to the maximum extent practicable. The project is
located on the west side of Highway 13 over White Oak Swamp, approximately 5.8 miles north of the
City of Windsor in Bertie County, North Carolina. The specifics of the proposed work are in the
enclosed application forms, drawings and figures.
As you are an adjacent riparian property owner to the aforementioned project, I am required to notify
you of the development in order to give you the opportunity to comment on the project. Please review
the attached permit application and drawings.
Should you have any objections to this proposal, please send your written comments to David Moye,
District Manager, Washington Regional Office, 943 Washington Square Mall, Washington, NC 27889,
within 30 days of your receipt of this notice. Such comments will be considered by the Department in
reaching a final decision on the application. No comment within 30 days of your receipt of this notice
will be considered as no objection. If you have any questions on this project, please call me at 770-
622-6766, or e-mail me at sbailey()woodardcurran.com.

Re: CAMA Major Permit Riparian Notification
Piedmont Natural Gas
Highway 13 over White Oak Swamp
Gas Line Relocation
Bete County, North Carolina
Dear Acie and Annie Coley:
Piedmont Natural Gas is applying for a CAMA Major permit to relocate the 12-inch natural gas pipeline
that is adjacent to the Highway 13 bridge over White Oak Swamp. The gas line would be taken offline
and left in place to minimize disturbance and relocated in new right-of-way approximately 100 feet west
of the bridge. Horizontal directional drilling would be used to prevent any impacts to White Oak Swamp
and minimize impacts to project area wetlands to the maximum extent practicable. The project is
located on the west side of Highway 13 over White Oak Swamp, approximately 5.8 miles north of the
City of Windsor in Bertie County, North Carolina. The specifics of the proposed work are in the
enclosed application forms, drawings and figures.
As you are an adjacent riparian property owner to the aforementioned project, I am required to notify
you of the development in order to give you the opportunity to comment on the project. Please review
the attached permit application and drawings.
Should you have any objections to this proposal, please send your written comments to David Moye,
District Manager, Washington Regional Office, 943 Washington Square Mall, Washington, NC 27889,
within 30 days of your receipt of this notice. Such comments will be considered by the Department in
reaching a final decision on the application. No comment within 30 days of your receipt of this notice
will be considered as no objection. If you have any questions on this project, please call me at 770-
622-6766, or e-mail me at sbailevCla.woodardcurran.com.
