Dear Mr. Moye
Re: Proposed Replacement of Bridge No. 23 on NC-45 in Hertford County
On/about September 20, 1995 the North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) submitted a CAMA Major Development Permit application for the proposed
replacement of bridge # 23 in Hertford County. A permit Is required; because the
Wiccacon River, at the site of bridge # 23, was determined to be a Public Trust Water
Area of Environmental Concern per Administrative Code Subchapter 7H.0207.
As a Categorical Exclusion, the project's anticipated impacts to Section 404
wetlands (0.95 acre) are authorized under Nationwide Permit 23. These impacts
include 0.23 acre of PFO1 C and 0.72 acre of PFO6F bottomlands.
On October 4, 1995 the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) returned the
application due to discrepancies in the information provided and due to concerns about
proposed changes in vertical navigation clearance, right of way, etc. Responses to
these concerns have been made and are addressed in this letter and attached
information, including revised MP-1 and MP-5 applications. Riparian landowner
notification verifications are also provided.
Concerns raised by the DCM
• Adjacent Riparian Property Owner Notifications: See attached material
• Justification for requesting a reduction in vertical clearance:
During its planning study, the NCDOT determined that commercial river traffic,
including log barges, no longer utilize the river above the existing bridge. Furthermore,
the NCDOT's investigation confirmed that the only vessels observed using the river
channel are pleasure craft, including bass boats, etc., not over 22 ft in length. During

January 29, 1996
Mr. Move
the planning study efforts were made to contact local residents and others who
were/are familiar with patterns of usage in the river. Although records of the individual
interviews were not kept, the conclusion of the study was that the existing vertical
clearance was entirely unjustified, based upon a pattern of usage that had been
established during the last couple of decades.
• Will existing causeway be removed to wetland elevations ? The Revised
Categorical Exclusion document for this project, published in 1994 (attached)
stated that the NCDOT would remove the causeway to natural ground elevations.
• NEPA documentation: The NCDOT has completed a NEPA study of the proposed
project, in accordance with Federal Highway Administration guidelines; a federal
categorical exclusion document is routinely required for federally funded bridge
replacement projects, which have been determined to pose minor risks to the
environment. This document is attached.
• Right of Way concerns: The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing bridge on
new location, which will necessitate the acquisition of additional right of way.
Proposed right of way is indicated in plan views. Right of way acquisition will be
accomplished either through "fee simple' purchase, or the statutory condemnation
process well in advance of the anticipated August 1996 construction letting.
It is requested that this revised application be processed as soon as possible to
enable the NCDOT to upgrade the existing, functionally obsolete structure in the near
future.
If you have any questions or comments please call Mr. M. Randall Turner at
[phone] (office), or at [phone] (cell phone).
Sincere! ,

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to replace an existing ±25' 10" wide by ±379' long
bridge with a ±33' 1" wide by ±360' long bridge.

NC DOT Bridge #23
Hertford County
Project setting
The N. C. Department of Transportation (NC DOT) proposes to replace bridge #23
located on NC 45 over the Wiccacon River near Harrellsville in Hertford County, North Carolina.
The existing bridge is ±25' 10" wide and ±379' long and has a vertical clearance of ±25'. The
navigable water depth at the existing fender system is ±23'. The bridge is bordered on the
downstream (east) side by 404 delineated wooded wetland vegetated with various species of
hardwoods including cypress. The wetland area gives way to upland grasses on the road shoulder.
The upstream(east) side is bordered by an approximately 50' wide cut over area of 404 delineated
wooded wetland for aerial transmission line right-of-way. This cut over area is vegetated with
various wetland plant species which give way to upland grasses on the road shoulder. Adjacent
the cut over area continuing upstream of the bridge are 404 delineated wooded wetland vegetated
with various species of hardwoods including cypress. The upstream (west) side of the site is
bordered by uplands with a dwelling and various out buildings. This area is vegetated with lawn
grasses, shrubs and several pines and hardwoods. The downstream (west) side of the bridge is
bordered by an upland hardwood area. As you move away (west) from the river this upland
wooded area gives way to an area of 404 delineated wetland. This wetland area appears to be
the upper limit of a bottom land hardwood finger which connects to the Wiccacon River and is
vegetated with various species of hardwoods, pines and various wetland plants. The river is
±225' wide at the bridge crossing and an existing fender system is in place with a navigable width
of ±60'. The Wiccacon River is classified as C-NSW by the Environmental Management
Commission.
Project description
NC DOT proposes to replace an existing ±25' 10" wide by ±379' long bridge with an
approximately 33' 1" wide by ±360' long bridge ±50' downstream of the present location. The
existing bridge which has 16 bents will be removed and replaced with a new bridge which has
4 bents. The existing vertical clearance is ±25 and the proposed bridge will be lowered to ±13'
7". The existing fender system has a navigable width of ±60' and will be removed. The new
bridge will have a navigable width of ±85'. Approximately 27,500 ft2 of wooded wetland will
be filled to create the approach for the new bridge. The shift of the existing approach will also
result in the filling or disturbance of ±120,000 ft2 of highground. NC DOT proposes to remove
the existing approach outside the toe of the new approach and return it to the grade and elevation
of the adjacent substrate.

NC DOT Bridge #23
Hertford County
Page Two
Anticipated impacts
The project as proposed would result in the filling of ±27,500 ft2 of wooded wetland and
the filling or disturbance of ±120,000 ft2 of high ground. The existing bridge has a navigable
opening between existing fenders of ±60' wide with a vertical clearance of ±25'. The proposed
bridge will have a opening of ±85' wide with a vertical clearance of ±13' 7". While this
proposal enhances navigation width, the loss of 11' 5" of vertical clearance will eliminate timber
barge access upstream of the new bridge. Localized turbidity would occur as a result of the
construction activities.

MEMORANDUM
TO: John Parker
FROM: David Moye D M
DATE: 14 February 1996
SUBJECT: NCDOT Bridge #23, Hertford County Application
With the exception of the reduction of the vertical height, the proposed project appears
consistent with the rules found in Subchapter 7H.0207 concerning development in Public Trust
Areas. The proposed bridge will reduce the number of pile bents in the overall span from the
existing 16 down to 4. The existing horizontal clearance for navigation will increase from ±60'
to ±85'. The existing vertical clearance of ±25' will be lowered to ±13' 7". A vertical
clearance of ±13' 7" allows for continued use by outboard motorboats but will eliminate any
future use by timber barges as well as other deep draft recreational craft. Based upon
7H.0207(b), (c), and (d), as well as 7H.0208(a)(2)(H), I recommend that the existing clearance
of ±25' be conditioned to remain unchanged. If the permit is issued I would suggest the
following conditions be placed on the permit;
CONDITIONS
? 1. The existing vertical clearance of ±25' must be maintained by the proposed bridge.
2. The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill materials within waters
or vegetated wetlands is not authorized.
3. No excavated or fill material will be placed at anytime in any vegetated wetlands or
surrounding waters outside of the alignment of the fill area indicated on the work plat(s).
4. Appropriate erosion and sedimentation control devices, measures, or structures shall be
used to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent wetlands/watercourses/property (e.g.,
silt fence, diversion swales/berms, sand fence, etc.).

T David Moye
OM: John Crew9/1 £
DATE: 15 February 1996
SUBJECT: Bridge Replacement, NC 45, Bridge #23, Wiccacon River, Hertford County
This proposal by NC DOT is to replace an existing 25' 10" by 379' bridge with a 33' 1" by 360' bridge
at the above location. Public Trust AECs are involved and the proposal comes under the auspices of
the July 1991 CRC certified Hertford County Land Use Plan update.
The county plan offers the following guidance on proposals of this type:
• County policy on AECs (page 40) is ". . . to support protective measures in AECs but to
encourage resource development activities which can meet state and federal and local standards."
• County policy on hazardous and fragile areas (page 40-41) includes ". . . to strictly enforce the
CAMA regulations and support and uphold the permitting process of state or federal agencies
for fragile areas, including 404 wetlands."
• The plan includes a discussion on commitment to state and federal programs (page 48) and notes
"highway improvements are of particular concern in areas where peak traffic loads create a
burden on the system." County policy is to support all state and federal regulations.
• By definition (page 64-65) AECs are in the Conservation land classification and dialogue notes
county support for their protection.
• The county land classification map (page 65.1) notes the landward portion of the proposal in the
Rural land class. This class (page 64) notes the low population densities and agrarian nature
associated.
My opinion is if this proposal can be accomplished in accordance with applicable AEC and 404
standards, it would not be inconsistent with the 1991 Hertford County Land Use Plan update.

FROM: Sara E. Winslow, Biologist Supervisor
SUBJECT: NCDOT - NC Hwy 45 - Replacement Bridge #23 - Wiccacon River
DATE: February 19, 1996
The following comments by the North Carolina, Division of Marine Fisheries are
provided pursuant to General Statute 113-131.
Wiccacon River functions as a spawning and nursery area for blueback herring and
alewife. White perch, yellow perch, catfishes and other commercially and recreationally
important species also utilize the area.
This agency is concerned with the loss of 27,500 sq. ft. of wooded wetlands.
Wetlands are of great importance to fisheries resources, serving as sources of basic biological
productivity, providing food directly and indirectly, and serving as spawning and nursery
areas for many species. Finally, wetlands perform important roles in modifying acute
impacts of hydrologic events, moderating stormwater flows, trapping sediments, and
providing nutrients for incorporation into resident plants. Adequate mitigation must occur
for the loss of these wetlands. The mitigation should be inkind and at a greater than 1:1
ratio.
The Division requests a moratorium associated with the construction of the new
bridge. The moratorium time frame is 15 February through 30 September. This will ensure
the environmental integrity of the area is protected during critical times of usage by the
above mentioned species.
Adequate clearance will be provided with the new bridge for recreational and
commercial fishing vessel use. However as noted in the bio-report commercial vessel use
will be restricted.
This agency approves of this project with the above mentioned modifications.

MEMORANDUM
TO: John R. Parker, Jr.
Major Permits Processing Coordinator
Division of Coastal Management, DEHNR
FROM: David Cox,Highway Project Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Section
DATE: March 25, 1996
SUBJECT: CAMA/Dredge and Fill Permit Application for NCDOT bridge project on NC
Highway 45 at bridge#23 over the Wiccacon River,Hertford County.
Staff biologists with the Wildlife Resources Commission have completed a review of the
project with regards to associated impacts on wildlife and fisheries resources in the area. A site
visit was conducted on March 14, 1996. Our comments are provided in accordance with
provisions of the Coastal Area Management Act(G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128), and the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.).
The applicant proposes to replace bridge#23 located on NC Highway 45, Hertford
County,with another spanning structure. The existing bridge is±25 ft. 10 in. wide and±379 ft.
long, and will be replaced by an approximately 33 ft. 1 in. wide by±360 ft. long bridge located
±50 ft. downstream of the present location. Vertical clearance will be lowered from±25 ft. to
±13 ft. 7 in. Bridge#23 is located over the Wiccacon River. The proposed project would result
in the fill of 27,500 ft of 404 designated vegetated wetlands, and 120,000 ft2 of highground.
The Wiccacon River is classified as class C,and nutrient sensitive waters (NSW)by the
Environmental Management Commission.
Wetlands found on this site provide functions which benefit the public as well as fish and
wildlife. Wetlands act as a stormwater runoff purification zones between upland areas and
surface waters. Wetlands store and convey flood waters and provide shoreline erosion protection
through attenuation of wave energy. Wetlands also serve as a physical habitat for numerous

•
.«.
species of amphibians,reptiles, birds,and mammals. In some instances, wetlands serve as
spawning and nursery areas for anadromous fish. Through deposition of detritus into adjacent
waters,wetlands contribute large quantities of organic carbon, forming the food chain base and
the resulting biological productivity for many aquatic ecosystems.
The shallow water habitat in the Wiccacon River is used by numerous species of
freshwater fish as spawning,rearing, feeding and escape areas. Increased turbidity in these areas
results in the destruction of spawning habitat, and greatly diminishes egg and fry survival. To
avoid adverse impacts to spawning populations of anadromous and resident fish species at the
project site, we will not object to the project as proposed if in-water work is not conducted
between February 15 and September 30.
We have concluded that the reduction in vertical clearance will not significantly impact
navigational uses of the Wiccacon River. Currently,the majority of boat traffic in the area
consists of vessels less than 13 ft. in height.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide input into this permit application review. If you
need further information on these comments,please contact David Cox,Highway Project
Coordinator at(919) 528-9886.

and make a decision on your request. Therefore, it is necessary that the standard review time be
extended. An additional 75 days is provided by G.S. 113A-122(c) which would make July 11,
1996 the new deadline for reaching a decision on your request. However, we expect to take action
prior to that time and will do so as soon as possible. In the interim, if you have any question on
the status of your application, do not hesitate to contact this office.
Very sincerely,

Dear Mr. Vick:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of an
application for State approval for development of property located on NC 45 at
Bridge No. 23 over the Wiccacon River near Harrellsville in Hertford County,
North Carolina. It was received on 12 February 1996 and appears to be adequate
for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is 27
April 1996. 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 also serve as your
notice of an extended review. However, an additional letter will be provided on
or about the 75th day. Should there be any questions on this procedural change,
do not hesitate to contact me.
N.C.G.S. 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.
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,

Dear Mr. Moye
Re: Proposed Replacement of Bridge No. 23 on NC-45 in Hertford County
On/about September 20, 1995 the North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) submitted a CAMA Major Development Permit application for the proposed
replacement of bridge# 23 in Hertford County. A permit Is required, because the
Wiccacon River, at the site of bridge# 23, was determined to be a Public Trust Water
Area of Environmental Concern per Administrative Code Subchapter 7H.0207.
As a Categorical Exclusion, the project's anticipated impacts to Section 404
wetlands (0.95 acre) are authorized under Nationwide Permit 23. These impacts
include 0.23 acre of PFO1C and 0.72 acre of PFO6F bottomlands.
On October 4, 1995 the Division of Coastal Management (DCM) returned the
application due to discrepancies in the information provided and due to concerns about
proposed changes in vertical navigation clearance, right of way, etc. Responses to
these concerns have been made and are addressed in this letter and attached
information, including revised MP-1 and MP-5 applications. Riparian landowner
notification verifications are also provided.
Concerns raised by the DCM
• Adjacent Riparian Property Owner Notifications: See attached material
• Justification for requesting a reduction in vertical clearance:
During its planning study, the NCDOT determined that commercial river traffic,
including log barges, no longer utilize the river above the existing bridge. Furthermore,
the NCDOT's investigation confirmed that the only vessels observed using the river
channel are pleasure craft, including bass boats, etc., not over 22 ft in length. During
tot

V.
Page 2
January 29, 1996
Mr. Moye
the planning study efforts were made to contact local residents and others who
were/are familiar with patterns of usage in the river. Although records of the individual
interviews were not kept, the conclusion of the study was that the existing vertical
clearance was entirely unjustified, based upon a pattern of usage that had been
established during the last couple of decades.
• Will existing causeway be removed to wetland elevations ? The Revised
Categorical Exclusion document for this project, published in 1994 (attached)
stated that the NCDOT would remove the causeway to natural ground elevations.
• NEPA documentation: The NCDOT has completed a NEPA study of the proposed
project, in accordance with Federal Highway Administration guidelines; a federal
categorical exclusion document is routinely required for federally funded bridge
replacement projects, which have been determined to pose minor risks to the
environment. This document is attached.
• Right of Way concerns: The NCDOT proposes to replace the existing bridge on
new location, which will necessitate the acquisition of additional right of way.
Proposed right of way is indicated in plan views. Right of way acquisition will be
accomplished either through "fee simple" purchase, or the statutory condemnation
process well in advance of the anticipated August 1996 construction letting.
It is requested that this revised application be processed as soon as possible to
enable the NCDOT to upgrade the existing, functionally obsolete structure in the near
future.
If you have any questions or comments please call Mr. M. Randall Turner at
[phone] (office), or at [phone] (cell phone).

Mr. H. Franklin Vick, P.E., Manager L
Planning & Environmental Branch
Poct Office Bnx 25201
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-5201
Dear Mr. Vick:
This letter is in reference to the N. C. Department of Transportation application for a
CAMA Major Permit received by this office on 26 September 1995 to replace Bridge No. 23 on
NC 45 over the Wiccacon River near Harrellsville in Hertford County, North Carolina. I have
reviewed the application for completeness and have found that several items need to be addressed
prior to accepting the application as complete.
Overall
No green cards or receipts or copies of either are attached to show notification of the
adjacent riparian property owners. Your cover letter should explain NCDOT's justification for
requesting a vertical clearance reduction of over 10 feet. In your proposal to remove the existing
bridge, does NCDOT also propose to return the existing approaches on both sides to the original
contours and elevations or to adjacent wetland elevations? I have discussed the question of an
Environmental Assessment (EA) document with Raleigh Bland and Mike Bell of the US Army
Corps of Engineers and the EA will be required for this project. The project as proposed appears
to involve work outside the established DOT R/W for the placement of the new bridge. If
NCDOT intends on using the condemnation process to obtain the necessary R/W, then you need
to explain this in your cover letter and include the appropriate documentation. If the project will
take place on property other than that owned by the NCDOT then the application should be
changed to reflect that and copies of the appropriate deeds and letters of consent must be attached.
Items
DCM-MP-1
4.g. Also check 'Conservation' since the Land Use Plan states that 'Navigable waters
are also included in this class'.

4.1. Has the USCOE signed off on the wetland delineation. If so you need to include
a copy of the COE tear sheet or the plat should show the COE sign off block with
the appropriate signature and date.
5. No Federal CE was attached to the application (this refers to the statement in the
overall section concerning an EA).

1.d. Fill in the depth.
1.1. You need to include in your cover letter NCDOT's justification for lowering the
vertical clearance in view of the fact that timber barges use the section of river
above this bridge.
3.f. Check 'Other Wetlands'.
4.a. This proposal is for the filling of ±1 acre of 404 wetland with no mitigation
proposed?
4.h. No has been checked but sheet 4 of 5 of the plats shows riprap at a 2:1 slope.
Plat(s)
Overall
-All plats must be dated.
-The plat(s) do not show the proposed high ground to be filled on either side of the
river.
Sheet 1 of 5
-Change to sheet 1 of 7.
Sheet 2 of 5
-Change to sheet 2 of 7.
-The adjacent property owners should be labeled.
-The R/W should be labeled for easier identification. It is apparent from this plat
that the proposed bridge is outside your established 50' R/W off the existing road
centerline.

-Label the proposed bridge and the existing bridge.
-The wetland boundaries are not clearly shown.
-The key does not explain what the areas at each end of the proposed bridge are.
i.e. fill,excavation ?
-According to the 1" = 100' scale, the proposed bridge is <350' long and is 30'
wide.
Sheet 3 of 5
-Change to sheet 3 of 7.
-Label the adjacent property owners.
-According to the plat the hatched area is fill in wetlands but the label shows the
edge of the fill at the wetland line.
Sheet 4 of 5
-Change to sheet 4 of 7.
-This plat shows a bridge length of 323' and a vertical clearance of ±15' which
does not match up with the other plats or the application.
-This plat shows riprap at the end bents which was not described in the application.
-The plat needs to be labeled to identify what it represents.
Sheet 5 of 5
-Change to sheet 5 of 7
-The plan view does not reference a section A-A.
-The plat needs to be labeled to identify what it represents.

Dear Ms. Deaton:
Subject: Hertford County, North Carolina; Replacement of Bridge No. 23 on NC-
45 Over the Wiccacon River; TIP (Transportation Improvement Program)
No. B-1231; State Project No. 8.1070401; Federal Aid No. BRS-5053(2)
Application is hereby made by the North Carolina Department of Transportation,
Division of Highways (NCDOT-DOH) for approval by the Commandant, U.S. Coast
Guard, of the location and plans for the construction of a fixed span bridge to replace
the existing bridge over the Wiccacon River approximately 2.2 road miles northwest of
the town of Harrelsville in rural Hertford County, North Carolina. Plans call for the
replacement structure to be constructed slightly north (downstream) of the existing
structure (see attached plans).
Specifically, the proposal provides for the replacement of an aging (1940)
structure which has a substructure of creosoted timber caps and piles, and reinforced
concrete caps on timber piles; end bents are of creosoted timber caps and piles with
timber bulkheads. Multiple (14) spans @ 22 feet and a main span of 69 feet comprise
the 379 feet length of the existing structure. The main span, which contains a timber
fender system, provides for navigational clearances of 58 feet horizontally and 25 feet
vertically.
The replacement structure consists of five spans, including two @ 90 feet, two
@ 70 feet and one @ 40 feet. The main channel span will provide for navigational
clearances of 85 feet-7 inches horizontally and 13 feet-7 inches vertically. The existing
fender system will not be replaced.
The clear roadway width of the existing structure is 25 feet-10 inches; the
proposed replacement bridge will have a clear roadway width of 30 feet.

Federal funds will be utilized and have been applied for under the Federal Aid
Bridge Replacement Program. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) project
code for this action is BRS-5053(2). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) under
authority of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and
Harbors Act of 1899 must also approve the action. It is anticipated that the proposed
action will be authorized by the COE under Nationwide Permit 23 and by the state
Division of Environmental Management under Section 401 Water Quality Certificate No.
2734. The NCDOT-DOH has submitted a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA)
permit application to the state Department of Environment, Health and Natural
Resources. A copy of this permit application and associated drawings are enclosed for
your review. Once these state and federal permits have been obtained they will be
forwarded to your office.
The FHWA has determined that this project will not have a significant impact on
the human environment and accordingly authorized the project as a Categorical
Exclusion in accordance with 23 CFR 771.115 (b) (9). A copy of the Categorical
Exclusion document, which was approved by the FHWA in June 1986, is submitted for
your review. The Categorical Exclusion study considered several alternatives, including
a do-nothing and five (5) build alternatives.
There are no wildlife and/or waterfowl refuges, recreational areas. public parks or
historic sites in the project study area. Furthermore, a study by a staff biologist has
concluded that no federally protected species or their habitat will be affected by the
proposed action.
Legal authority for the proposed bridge replacement project is found in the
General Bridge Act of 1946. As indicated above, application has been submitted for
state and federal permits which will be required prior to construction.
The existing bridge and obsolete approachway sections will be demolished and
removed immediately upon completion of the replacement structure and its associated
approachway sections. Construction is scheduled to commence in mid-late Winter
1996.
Please find enclosed one (1) original and three (3) copies of the U.S. Coast
Guard drawings for the project, in addition to copies of applications and related
drawings for permits from state and federal agencies.

Dear Messrs. Basnight:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the action taken by the Division of Coastal
Management on the Department of Transportation request to replace the Hwy. 45 bridge over the
Wiccacon River. Your letter of opposition and other information provided has been carefully
reviewed. In addition, this office has consulted the U. S. Coast Guard and, of course, state
review agencies with emphasis on input from the Division of Marine Fisheries and the N. C.
Wildlife Resources Commission.
In the final analysis, the Division decision is to approve the design requested by the DOT.
This bridge, according to a June 21 telephone communication with DOT design staff, will have a
vertical clearance of 15 feet at normal water level.
The matter of land required for the alignment adjustment is between the DOT and

Re: Public Notice 5 - 871
I respond to the above mentioned as an adjacent property owner. I wish to convey my objections
to the towering of the Wiccacon River bridge from a navigational standpoint
Quite simply, lowering the bridge will keep me from freely navigating the Wiccacon River on ray
52! boat to my land_ I represent the third generation of family ownership of the land upstream
of the bridge-in the I3arrellsvle direction, or in an eastward and direction
My boat, federally documented(no, 933166), is the source of my livelihood as I am a Coast
Guard licensed captain. While I generally operate my boat out of the Morehead City area, I spend
a great.deal of time during the winter at the property in question_ Lowering the bridge would
preclude me from bringing my boat to my property for whatever reason Of the most concern
would be my inability to use rny real property as a "hu-rim ne hole" if the bridge is in fad
Ir. Bred.
oastal:.-develop i}ent-h s'eliminated a greaat rnber of safe havens for boats seeking shelter from
an approaching hurricaine_ Riding out a storm on the coast is so dangerous as to not be
recommended by the Coast Guard. The logical choice for safety is generally to go inland. For
me, what better choice is there than my property on the- iccacon River?
My boat is a sportfishing design with a fyb idge and a fixed hardtop_ The vessel's vertical
clearance is in excess of sixteen feet
Secondly, while merely navigationally related,my upstream property loses value as potential
hornesites if tide bridge is lowered as this would prohibit the larger craft from reaching my
potential homesites upstream of the bridge.

Re: Wiccacon River Replacement Bridge
Dear Mr. Ferguson:
I am writing to you as an adjacent landowner to the above referenced project. I was given your
name by Randy Turner. I was told that you were the individual that might provide me with some
answers.
I would like to start by stating that this is my first experience dealing with DOT. I cannot express
to you how disappointed I am in how this manner has been handled. I have been left no choice
but to investigate myself as to what is going on as nobody from DOT seems to know. If they do,
they certainly have not made much of an effort to inform me. My investigation led to you.
I have dealt with your right of way agent from Elizabeth City, a Mr. Robertson I believe. I must
say that my disappointment is primarily with him. Specifically, he has failed to do what he has
told me. In addition, he does not know what is going on with this bridge replacement. In the
spring of 1995, he came to my home in Morehead City to inform me of the state's intentions. I
was told that I would get an appraisal of my land in about six weeks. In actuality, I did not hear
from Mr. Robertson for about six months when he again came to my home and presented me with
an appraisal of my land that DOT wishes to purchase.
Having delivered the appraisal to me, Mr. Robertson asked for a quick response. Come to find
out, he wanted an answer from me on the offer to purchase before I had time to reply to a letter
sent to me by M. Randall Turner, dated September 18, 1995! I cannot comprehend this action by
Mr. Robertson and can only trust that it is attributable to his ignorance of the situation due to the
complexity of the permitting process.
My next contact with Mr. Robertson was by telephone and he wanted to know WI had made a
decision on the offer. I informed him that he wanted an answer yet I had a letter from Mr. Turner
stating that I had 30 days to answer whether I objected to the project or not. Mr. Robertson,
clear to me, did not know what was going on. I believe his quote was something to the affect that

he had not heard of a letter like Mr. Turner's since 1962. He went on to tell me that the offer
amount would be placed in escrow. He led me to believe that construction would begin in
February.
I would like to make it clear that never did I reject the offer. I considered it to be a paltry amount
when the "big picture" was taken into account and I told Mr. Robertson the same. However, I
was never in a position to reply to the offer as I was still gathering information.
I would also note that never did I get any type of notification from Mr. Parker that he had
received my letter of objection to the project. However, some time later, I received a call from
the United States Coast Guard, I beleive the man's name was Bill. After our discussion, he
indicated that his office would do a public notice on the project. I recently received this notice
out of Norfolk.
After my dicussion with Bill, I was left with the impression that the Coast Guard had not yet
issued a permit to DOT to lower the height of the replacement bridge. All along, I felt that Mr.
Robertson had indicated that the Coast Guard had approved the plans for the replacement bridge
at a reduced vertical clearance. Apparently, that is not the case and no Coast Guard permit has
been issued. Needless to say, the image of the DOT has been further tarnished in my eyes.
It is not my desire to go to court over this matter. However, I am mad about the way I have been
treated and the way this matter has been handled. I would like to hear from you, or someone with
DOT, other than Mr. Robertson. This needs to be sooner, opposed to later, as the public notice
deadline is upon us. If the DOT is committed to the paltry sum of$3,040 for my 1.29 acres, with
no regard for what the lowering of the bridge will do to my upstream property value, then I will
make every effort to appeal to the Coast Guard to not issue the permit. In addition to my concern
over decreased property value, I also own a 52'boat that I wish to bring to my cabin on the
Wiccacon. Your proposed bridge would prohibit me from doing that.
Thank you for your time and consideration to this matter. I believe that I have placed the "ball"
back into DOT's hands. I would certainly entertain a reasonable offer to avoid going to court but
I adamantly refuse to take a$3,040 offer and a lowered bridge without one heck of a fight.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Res ectfully /

Dear Mr. Parker:
I am writing in response to a letter I received from M. Randall Turner dated September 18, 1995.
The subject of the letter is the replacement of the Wiccacon River bridge. As an affected
landowner, I wish to express the following objections to the project.
I must say that I am confused on being given an appraisal, and subsequently, an offer on 1.29
acres of my land prior to the deadline for objections as set forth in the above mentioned letter.
I currently have a house situated on the property to be affected by the state's desire to build the
replacement bridge. As conveyed to me, the state's offer to buy my land amounts to little more
than the value of the timber. To me, the 1.29 acres is worth much more than the value of the
timber.
As this 1.29 acres includes deep water access to the Wiccacon River, developmental possibilities
include a "fish camp" style facility. While part of the property is certainly low land, this does not
preclude the possibilty of some type of dock to the water's edge. Access to the Wiccacon is very
limited, and the state's proposal to take my land certainly creates a problem when I wish to
develop this tract of land. Asking me to give up this land for the price of the timber is quite
ludicrous.
Lowering the height of the bridge is very much against my wishes. The Wiccacon River is quite
deep and affords passage by large pleasurecraft. In the past, I have owned a large pleasureboat
and fully expect to own other large boats. As I presently own a house on this land, your decision
to lower the bridge prohibits me from ever bringing a boat of any size to my house.
Again, any developmental possibilities that I have for the future of this 70 acre tract of land would

be curtailed by the lowering of the bridge. I feel that I have several potential home lots
overlooking the Wiccacon, upstream from the bridge. In other words, in a direction towards
Harrellsville, and south of Highway 45. The lowering of the bridge would serve to lower the
value of my property as it would limit access to the Chowan River.
When you consider that the existing bridge is 55 years old, a lot of thought must go into the
future. I am 38 years old and am young enough to contemplate all of the above possibilities.
However, your proposal affects not only me, and my wife, but also my two children, ages nine
and eleven. They represent the third generation family ownership of this land and the value to
us is far more than the price of the timber.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
Si erely,
G 4i .

Dear Mr. Parker:
Regarding building a new bridge over the Wiccacon River on any part or parcel of my
land, I do NOT give permission to the NCDOT to build such a bridge or alter the existing
bridge on land owned by David Watson Basnight.
In the past six months I have been asked to grant permission to build on or alter my
property for the proposed bridge by a representative from the NCDOT. Each time there
was no follow up to the initial NCDOT request after I was led to believe the request was
of the utmost urgency. I do not appreciate being mislead in this way.
— You are proposing to alter the ve ical navigational clearance by more than 11 feet with
your new bridge. As my family ha timber�concerns that might be adversely affected by
this substantial decrease in water t n ge--istance this portion of your proposal is
unacceptable. Also, once you lower the height of the bridge then other people in the
community might one day be negatively affected as well, since the type of boats that could
navigate back and forth into that part of the river would forever be limited.
Please know I inherited this land from my grandfather. The land has great emotional and
sentimental value to me. I plan on returning home to Eastern North Carolina to retire.
My wife and I have often talked of building our dream house on this beautiful site that
overlooks the Wiccacon River. The area NCDOT is proposing to build upon would
adversely impact two beautiful wooded lots overlooking the river and destroy the natural
setting of the area. Since nature is no longer making such magnificent views and it is not
within the powers of the NCDOT to replace what nature has sculptured, I do not want
that pristine land to be altered, built upon, or changed in any way.
Thank you for your kind attention to this letter. I would be happy to discuss these and
other concerns and objections with you at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
David Ba night
