Dept. of Environment, Health and Natural Resources
Division of Coastal Management
1424 Carolina Avenue
Washington, North Carolina 27889
ATTN: Mr. Terry Moore
Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: CAMA MAJOR PERMIT APPLICATION FOR REPLACEMENT OF
BRIDGE NO. 70 OVER SMITH CREEK ON NC 99, BEAUFORT
COUNTY, TIP NO. B-2805.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace
the referenced structure on existing location, along with associated approach
improvements. The new bridge, consisting of a three span cored slab on a concrete
substructure, will be approximately 25 meters (82 ft) in length with a 7.2 meter(24 ft)
wide travelway plus a 2.4 meter (8 ft) wide offset on each side and 1372 millimeter (54
inch)bicycle-safe rails. Traffic will be detoured onto existing roadways during
construction.
Whenever NCDOT replaces an existing bridge, it is the policy of the American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials that the roadway and
approaches be up-graded to conform with current design standards. The standards for this
type of new bridge require an increase in width of approximately 5 meters (16.4 ft).
NC 99 is also a bicycling highway that normally requires a 4.2 meter (14 ft) travelway. In
order to reduce wetland impacts, the NCDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Unit agreed that the
narrower, 3.6 meter (12 ft) travelway would be sufficient for bicycle traffic.
•
�r

The project will require the fill of 0.156 acres of estuarine surface waters and
0.006 acres of wetlands. The dominant vegetation in the wetlands is smooth cordgrass
(Spartina alterniflora), saw grass (Cladium jamaicense), and black needlerush (Juncus
roemerianus). No temporary fill in wetlands, stream relocation, or channel change will be
involved. In order to mitigate for these impacts, NCDOT proposes to grade
approximately 0.05 acres of upland to the level of the adjacent salt marsh. This area is
located north of the bridge on the upstream side of Smith Creek between the edge of the
fill slope and the existing salt marsh. It is indicated as cross hatching on sheets three and
four of the permit drawings.
The area to be graded is small, approximately 125 feet x 17 feet. After grading is
complete, the NCDOT proposes to monitor this site for two growing seasons to determine
if natural vegetation has colonized the site. If sufficient vegetation has not reclaimed the
area at that time, then NCDOT will replant the area with native marsh plants.
The navigational clearance of the bridge will basically remain the same since no
recognized demand for navigation exists. Smith Creek is not susceptible for use as a
means to transport interstate or foreign commerce and there is no evidence that boats
greater than 6.4 meter (21 feet) long cross under Bridge No. 70. Therefore, the Federal
Highway Administration has determined that the project does not require a U. S. Coast
Guard Permit in accordance with 23 CFR 650.805(c)
Smith Creek flows east into Pungo Creek which is part of the Tar-Pamlico River
Basin. It is classed as SC NSW , indicating a supplemental classification of Nutrient
Sensitive Waters, which requires limitations on nutrient inputs. NCDOT's Best
Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Water, which implements stringent
erosion and sedimentation control, will be employed throughout construction. During
project planning, it was determined that no anadromous fish spawning areas occur within
175 meters (575 feet) of the project, so no construction moratorium is proposed.
The scope of work for this project was documented as a Categorical Exclusion
approved by the Federal Highway Administration (Federal Aid Project BRSTP-99(1),
State Project 8.1150801) on 10 April 1995. It was distributed to the resource agencies 30
August 1995. More copies of this document are available upon request. Application for a
Major CAMA Permit is hereby made. Permit drawings depicting the proposed work are
attached. A check in the amount of$250.00 (Warrant No. 980744) is enclosed to cover
the CAMA processing fee. The adjacent property owners have been notified of this
permit request. Copies of the letters sent to the property owners and the certified mail
receipts are attached. The signed return receipts from these property owners will be
forwarded to you as soon as possible.

•
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Bridge No. 70 over Smith Creek
Beaufort County
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
The project site is at Bridge No. 70 over Smith Creek on NC 99 in Beaufort County.
Located at the site is a 75' long by 23. 61' wide bridge. The bridge has a 11.80' clearance between
the bottom of the bridge and the NWL. The existing approaches to the bridge are stabilized with
riprap. Adjacent to the northeast, southeast and northwest road shoulders are areas of coastal
wetlands which is dominated with Distichlis spicata, Juncus roemerianus, and Cladium jamaicense.
The shoulders are vegetated with various upland grasses.
PROJECT PROPOSAL
The applicant is proposing to replace the existing bridge with a new bridge along the same
alignment. The new bridge will consist of a three span cored slab on a concrete substructure and
will have a length of approximately 82 feet. There will be a 24' wide travelway plus 8' wide
offsets on each side. The navigation clearance will remain. The environmental impacts which will
be discussed later will be the result of the approach widening. No temporary detours, stream
relocation or work channels will be involved
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The following environmental impacts will occur if the project is conducted as proposed :
1) Approximately 261.36 square feet of coastal wetlands will be filled at the
northwest corner of the bridge due to approach widening.
2) Approximately 6,795 square feet of open water area will be filled due to approach
widening and riprap stabilization.
3) An upland area approximately 125' by 17' located at the northeast corner of the
bridge, between the approach and an area of coastal wetlands, will be graded to
the elevation of the adjacent wetland. The site will be monitored for two growing
seasons to see if natural vegetation has colonized the site. If sufficient vegetation
has not reclaimed the area after that time then the applicant will replant the area
with native marsh plants.

DATE: 10 June 1997
SUBJECT: Application for State Permits
North Carolina Department of Transportation
Bridge No. 70 over Smith Creek
Beaufort County, North Carolina
Enclosed is the subject application from the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
I have reviewed the proposal in regards to the NCAC 7H guidelines, specifically the general and
specific use standards, and have found the proposal to be consistent. I recommend the permit be
issued with the following conditions:
1) The riprap material must be free from loose dirt or any other pollutant. It must be
of a size sufficient to prevent its movement from the site by wave or current
action.
2) The riprap material must consist of clean rock or masonry materials such as but
not limited to granite or broken concrete. Materials such as tires, car bodies, scrap
metal, paper products, tree limbs, wood debris, organic material or similar
material, are not considered riprap.
3) No marsh grass will be excavated or filled other than that shown on plat 3 of 8.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.

RE: MAJOR CAMA PERMIT CONSISTENCY REVIEW
Bridge Replacement, Bridge#70
NCDOT
NC Hwy. 99, Smith Creek, Beaufort County, NC
This project is subject to the 1993 BEAUFORT COUNTY LAND USE PLAN.
The county's policies generally rely on the rules of state and federal agencies for
resource protection. Policy Al.a. (Page VIII-4)"Preserve and Protect AECs within
Beaufort County" states that the county will support and complement CRC efforts to
protect, preserve, and manage areas of environmental concern and c. Support development
in AECs only if such development meets the management objectives of 15A NCAC
7H.0203 and use standards in 15A NCAC 7H.0208 and .0209. There is no specific
mention of 7H.0205, dealing with coastal wetlands. Again in Policy C8.d. (page VIII-1 S)
"Quality of Life issues within the county" the county states that it will provide active
leadership in ensuring that NCDOT roads and streets are adequately maintained and
upgraded consistent with the 1993 Land Use Plan. Policy C9(page VIII-19) "Other
Economic and Community Development Policies" states that the county remains
committed to State and Federal programs in planning areas, where applicable, related to
community and economic development, including erosion control, public access, highway
improvements, port facilities, dredging, and military facilities.
This project is located in a hazard area subject to storm surge flooding by Category
1 and 2 storms; however, the county's policies associated with coastal storm mitigation
simply support enforcement of CAMA and 404 permitting processes in such areas. In
policy E2.d. "Policies related to citizen evacuation" the county does not mention, but
implies support of efforts to improve evacuation efforts. Maintenance of roads and bridges
would contribute to such efforts.
The landward area of the project is classified as Community (Land Classification
Map). The water area and coastal wetlands are classified as Conservation because of their
status as Public Trust Waters AEC and Coastal Wetlands AEC (Page IX-9). The
Community classification is suitable for low density development without public water and
sewer. It is intended for cluster residential and for commercial areas in a predominantly

rural landscape. The Conservation classification limits development in public trust waters
and coastal wetlands to those which are water dependent in accordance with 15A NCAC
7H. Although use standards for coastal wetlands identifies highways as an unacceptable use
within this type of AEC, NCDOT will perform mitigation activities in close proximity to
this site which will result in no net loss of coastal wetlands.
Insofar as the letter and intent of stated local policies appears to be unoffended, it is
my opinion that the proposed project is consistent with the 1993 Beaufort County Land
Use Plan, provided it is constructed in accordance with all applicable state and federal
rules and requirements, and provided the wetlands mitigation activities are timely.

DATE: June 23, 1997
SUBJECT: CAMA Major Permits,NC DOT Bridge No. 70,
Smith Creek, Pungo Creek, Beaufort County
The following comments by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF)
on the subject permit are offered pursuant to G.S. 113-131. The lower coastal waters of Pungo
Creek are designated as a special secondary nursery area. From this designation it would appear
that the inland water upper reaches of Pungo Creek, including Smith Creek, function as an
important nursery habitat for estuarine finfish, shrimp and blue crabs. The Smith Creek site has
the physical characteristics (surrounding marsh, soft mud bottom, water depth) of primary
nursery area habitat. Therefore,the NCDMF recommends a construction moratorium from
1 April to 1 October to minimize projects impacts on these estuarine species. The permit should
also stipulate the use of appropriate erosion and sedimentation control measures.

Dear Mr. Vick:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of an
application from the North Carolina Department of Transportation for State
approval for development of their property located on NC 99 at Bridge No. 70 over
Smith Creek in Beaufort County, North Carolina. It was received on 9 June 1997
and appears to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline
for making a decision is 23 August 1997. 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,
David L. Gossett
Field Representative
