Dear Mr. Moore:
SUBJECT: CAMA Major Development Permit Application for: Proposed
Replacement of Bridge No. 38 over the Chowan River(Bertie and Chowan
Counties) and Associated Improvements to US 17 in Chowan County;
TIP No. R-2512; State Project No. 8.T010603;Federal Aid No. DPI0199(005)
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (Department) is proposing to replace
the existing bridge over the Chowan River on US 17, as part of overall plans to improve and
upgrade US 17 in Bertie and Chowan Counties. The bridge structure, which was built in 1953, is
scheduled for replacement starting in August 1996. The replacement structure will be built
slightly south (downstream) of the existing alignment. This will allow traffic to utilize the existing
facility until construction of the new bridge is completed, at which time the existing bridge will be
demolished and removed.
The new bridge, a reinforced concrete, multiple fixed-span structure, will replace an aging
swing-span bridge. As a result of this action, navigational clearances will increased from 80 feet
to 200 feet (horizontally). The new structure will provide a vertical clearance of 65 feet at the
navigational channel. Compared to the 347 variable-length spans on the existing structure, the
new bridge will require no more than 73 spans, eliminating a large number of vertical supports
from the water column and benthic substrate of the Chowan River.
In an attempt to avoid a portion of the bottomland wetlands which lie east of the Chowan
River and due to the presence of undesirable subsoils, the Department is extending the bridge
approximately 1,200 feet east of the Chowan River. This land trestle will span a portion of the
Reedy Point Swamp wetlands. At the eastern terminus of the land trestle, a+/-1,500 foot long

fill-section will impact a fringe of the Reedy Point Swamp wetlands. Based upon instructions
from your office, the Major Development Permit application addresses the Chowan River crossing
and all wetlands which lie contiguous to the bridge span, resulting in a"high ground to high
ground" application. The basis for the CAMA permit is that the Chowan River and adjacent areas
have been identified as Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs), specifically, Public Trust
Waters, Estuarine Waters and Estuarine Shoreline AECs.
Underwater surveys, conducted during the Environmental Assessment investigation,
revealed the presence of submerged aquatic vegetation in the shallows along the east shore of the
Chowan River. The Department is committed to providing reliable data on this population that
will be useful in determinations of any losses due to construction activities and shading from the
new bridge span. The Department has agreed:
1. to conduct a definitive underwater survey to map the population, including measuring
population density and species composition, prior to construction (Summer 1996) to establish
a pre-construction community profile.
2. to conduct post-construction monitoring to ascertain losses, if any, that may result from
construction activities, including impacts from vertical bridge supports and from sunken work
barges.
3. to negotiate a reasonable monitoring program that is intended to elucidate a correlation
between actual population declines (if any occur) and the juxtaposition with the new bridge,
i.e., shade-effect.
A Section 404 Individual Permit is being sought concurrently from the U. S. Army Corps
of Engineers (COE). In accordance with the 1990 Memorandum to Agreement between the
Environmental Protection Agency and the COE, the Department has proposed mitigation for all
wetland impacts that will result from the proposed widening of US 17 from west of the Chowan
River to US 17 Business, east of Edenton (R-2512). There are no Coastal Wetlands in the project
impact area.
In compliance with Section 9 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899, the Department has
applied to the U. S. Coast Guard for a permit in accordance with Title 33, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 115.
The Department is requesting that the proposed project be authorized under a Coastal
Area Management Act permit. In order to insure that critical project schedules are met, the
Department respectfully requests that you expedite your field review and submittal of bio-report.

Dear Sir:
The enclosed permit constitutes authorization under the Coastal Area Management Act,and where applicable,
the State Dredge and Fill Law, for you to proceed with your project proposal. The original (buff-colored form) is
retained by you and it must be available on site when the project is inspected for compliance. Please sign both the
original and the copy and return the copy to this office in the enclosed envelope. Signing the permit and proceeding
means you have waived your right of appeal described below.
If you object to the permit or any of the conditions,you may request a hearing pursuant to NCGS 113A-121.1
or 113-229. Your petition for a hearing must be filed in accordance with NCGS Chapter 150B with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 11666, Raleigh,NC 27611, [phone] within twenty(20) days of this
decision on your permit. You should also be aware that if another qualified party submits a valid objection to the
issuance of this permit within twenty (20) days, the matter must be resolved prior to work initiation. The Coastal
Resources Commission makes the final decision on any appeal.
The project plan is subject to those conditions appearing on the permit form. Otherwise, all work must be
carried out in accordance with your application. Modifications, time extensions, and future maintenance require
additional approval.Please read your permit carefully prior to starting work and review all project plans,as approved.
If you are having the work done by a contractor, it would be to your benefit to be sure that he fully understands all
permit requirements.
From time to time,Department personnel will visit the project site. To facilitate this review,we request that
you complete and mail the enclosed Notice Card just prior to work initiation.However, if questions arise concerning
permit conditions,environmental safeguards,or problem areas,you may contact Department personnel at any time for
assistance. By working in accordance with the permit, you will be helping to protect our vitally important coastal
resources.

NC DOT Bridge#38
Bertie/Chowan Counties
Project setting
The N. C. Department of Transportation(NC DOT) proposes to replace bridge #38 located
on US 17 over the Chowan River between Windsor and Edenton,North Carolina. The navigable
water depth at the existing draw bridge and fender system is +25'. The bridge is bordered on the
downstream(west) side by a large sand spit which gives way to an+40' wide vegetated sand berm
as you move landward. Vegetation on the berm includes pines, shrubs and various species of vines.
As you move down the back (landward) side of the berm you move into a 404 delineated wooded
wetland vegetated with maple, gum, myrtle and some cypress. Wetlands on the project site have
been delineated as 404 wetlands by the NC DOT and approved by the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers. The wetland area gives way to upland grasses as you move up the adjacent road
shoulder. The upstream(west)side of the bridge is bordered by a developed and bulkheaded lot with
a dwelling and out building. This area is vegetated with lawn grass, pines and ornamental shrubs.
The downstream (east) side of the bridge is bordered by Waff Brothers Construction
Company. The upland portion of this property extends+300' landward of the river adjacent US 17
and is predominately vegetated with upland grasses. Several small gum and maple trees are located
adjacent the river near the bridge end bent. Continuing landward of the river, the upland area gives
way to an±82' wide area of 404 wetlands vegetated with Juncus effusus. A large expanse of 404
wooded wetland borders this area of mowed Juncus e. and is vegetated with maple, gum, pine, bay,
and sedges. The end bent on this side of the bridge is armored with riprap and the water adjacent
the downstream side of the bridge contains a significant concentration of submerged aquatic
vegetation (SAVs). The NC DOT has identified the SAVs present as water-weed, tapegrass, and
parrot-feather.
The upstream (east) side of the bridge is bordered by a NC WRC public boat ramp and
parking area. The property is bulkheaded and+25' of the area landward of this bulkhead has been
asphalted. The remainder of the site is a mix of upland grass and gravel and extends approximately
330' landward from the river. This area changes over to a large expanse of 404 wooded wetland
vegetated with maple, gum, pine, bay, and sedges.
The river is+7,900'wide at the existing bridge crossing and the existing fender system at the
draw has a navigable width of ±80'. The Chowan River is classified as B-NSW by the
Environmental Management Commission and is not open to shell fishing at this location.
Project description
The NC DOT proposes to replace an existing+29.5'wide by+7,922' long two lane low span
bridge with an approximately 71.5' wide by+9,490.6' long four lane high rise bridge downstream
of the present location. The additional length for the new bridge is needed since+1,500' will be an
elevated causeway over uplands and 404 wetlands on the east side of the river. The elevated

NC DOT Bridge #38
Bertie/Chowan Counties
Page Two
causeway is required since the new bridge is a high rise type and access to the commercial property
on the west side must be maintained for continued use. Additionally,NC DOT has determined that
±1,170' of the wooded wetland to be crossed has undesirable subsoils for a filled approach and a pile
supported structure is required. The elevated causeway will terminate in the 404 wooded wetland
and will require the filling of±124.6'wide by±1,551' long area of this wetland to reach high ground.
The NC DOT proposes to sink a series of barges end to end in the shallow water on both shorelines
to use as work platforms in the areas that are too shallow for the large floating work barges.
The existing bridge has an opening draw with unrestricted vertical clearance limitation when
open and±5'when closed. The proposed bridge will have a maximum navigable vertical clearance
of±65'. The existing fender system has a navigable width of A80' and will be removed. The new
bridge will have a navigable width of±200'. The existing bridge has 347 bents while the proposed
bridge will have 73 bents over the open water and 25 bents associated with the elevated causeway
over the upland and wetland portion of the project site. NC DOT proposes to leave the existing road
on the east side of the river as an access road to the wildlife ramp and the Waff Brothers' property.
A temporary access work road±1,299.7' long by±52.5' wide is proposed on the downstream side
of the new elevated causeway in the 404 wooded wetland to be used as a work area for the
construction of the causeway and will be removed upon completion of the bridge. NC DOT
proposes to remove the old bridge upon completion of the proposed structure.
Anticipated impacts
Approximately 193,254.6 ft2 of 404 wooded wetland will be filled for the construction on
the four lane divided access to connect the elevated causeway to high ground. The construction of
the temporary access work road will result in the filling of±68,234.25 ft2 of 404 wooded wetland.
The construction of the end bent on the west side of the river will result in the filling of±2,152 ft2
of high ground. The proposed bridge will increase the navigable width at the designated channel
from ±80' to ±200' and will set the maximum vertical navigable clearance at±65'. The proposed
bridge will reduce the number of existing bents in the Chowan River from 347 to 73. Impact to the
SAVs from the barge placement and construction methodology will be assessed by comparing pre
and post construction surveys. Turbidity from the construction activities will vary with construction
technique, water depth, substrate, etc.

FROM: David Moye
DATE: 22 May 1996
SUBJECT: NCDOT Bridge #38, Bertie/Chowan Counties, US 17 Application
The proposed project appears consistent with the rules found in Subchapter 7H concerning
development in Public Trust Areas, Estuarine Water and Estuarine Shoreline. 7H.0208(a)(1)
specifically refers to bridges and bridge approaches as being water dependent. Although this
project is large and will impact an extensive area, current construction techniques suggest that the
impacts will be short term with the exception of the unknown impact to the SAVs on the
downstream (east) side resulting from the placement of the work barges in this area. In addition,
±193,254.6 ft2 of 404 delineated wetlands will be filled. NCDOT is proposing to mitigate for
the loss of these wetlands. If the permit is issued I would suggest that in additio• a; h .standard
conditions, the following conditions be placed on the permit; 'NS)

MEMORANDUM 12 1 44
TO: David Moye PQ G P��*cc' '4
FROM: John Crew
DATE: 22 March 1996 `p L
SUBJECT: NC DOT Proposal to Replace Bridge #38 on Hwy. 17 over Chowan River
between Bertie and Chowan Counties
This proposal by NC DOT is to replace the above referenced bridge with a new high rise bridge
that will be 42' wider, 1,568.6' longer and maximum navigable verticle clearance of 65', while
the existing bridge has an unlimited clearance when opened. Existing fender system has a
navigable width of 80' and the new bridge will be 200'. Significant fill (193,254 sq. ft.) of 404
wetlands are proposed to be filled; Public Trust Areas, Estuarine Shoreline and Estuarine Water
AECs are involved.
The western portion of this proposal comes under the auspices of the March 1991 CRC certified
Bertie County Land Use Plan update which provides the following limited guidance on proposals
of this type:
• County policy on AECs (page 29-30) notes the county defers their protection to uses and
protection standards included in 15 NCAC 7H and poses no more restrictive local
standards for AEC use.
• County policy on 404 wetlands (page 30) is "Other wetlands (i.e. 404 wetlands) are
regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Bertie County policy is to continue
support of these regulations in an effort to protect this sensitive natural environment."
• County policy on local commitment to provide services to development (page 35)
includes "The county will work with NC DOT officials to encourage a timely completion
of scheduled highway improvements. Making four lanes of US 17 and 13 will provide
excellent connectors to other areas and provide a selling point for new development."
• By definition all AECs and similar ecological areas are included in the Conservation land
class (page 47-48). The county lists examples of permitted uses in the Conservation class
(page 48) and notes "Roadways, when construction of roadways can be conducted
without significantly altering the ecological system and in compliance with existing
federal, state and local regulations." This section continues by noting that AECs and 100
year flood boundaries must be determined by onsite inspection by the various agencies
involved.
• The landward portion of the Bertie County side of this proposal is in the Rural land
class. This class (page 47) calls for agrarian land uses not necessitating urban type
services for their support.

•
MEMORANDUM
, 22 March 1996
Page 2
My opinion is if this proposal can be accomplished in accordance with applicable AEC and 404
standards it would not be inconsistent with county policy.
I have no way of determining if this proposal would "significantly alter the ecological system"
as a criteria called for in the Conservation land classification example.of permitted uses in the
Conservation class (page 48) as no measures are suggested by the county. Reading the plan in
context however leads me to believe the county defers all decisions on AECs and other similar
environmentally important or hazardous areas to the appropriate state or federally regulated
agency. In this regard, my opinion is if the proposal can be accomplished in accordance with
those applicable standards the proposal would not be inconsistent with the county's conservation
land class. Similarly my opinion is the proposal is not inconsistent with the county's rural land
classification.

SUBJECT: NC DOT - Hwy 17 at Bridge #38 - Chowan and Bertie County
DATE: March 27, 1996
The following comments by the North Carolina, Division of Marine Fisheries are
provided pursuant to General Statute 113-131.
Chowan River functions as a spawning and nursery area for blueback herring and
alewife. American shad, hickory shad, striped bass, white perch, yellow perch, catfishes and
other commercially and recreationally important species also utilize the area. These waters
are classified Nutrient Sensitive Waters.
The Division approves of this project with the following modifications. A
construction moratorium associated with the bridge construction is requested. The requested
time frame is 15 February through 30 June. This will ensure the environmental integrity of
the area is protected during critical times of usage by the above mentioned species.
e ` This agency is also concerned with the possible impact to SAVs associated with the
bridge construction. However, the pre and post construction assessment should be adequate.
The Division is concerned with the filling of ±261,489 sq. ft. of wetlands. The
importance of wetlands is well documented. Even though not addressed in the Bio-report,
this agency has received notification of the proposed mitigation plan for the loss of these
wetlands. The proposed mitigation ratio varies from 2:1:1 to 7.5:1 depending on the wetland
quality. The proposed mitigation ratio is quite adequate, but not on site.

Major Permits Processing Section
Division of Coastal Management, DEHNR
FROM: Franklin T. McBride, Manager /y0 .
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: April 19, 1996
SUBJECT: CAMA/Dredge and Fill PAmit Application for NCDOT bridge replacement
project on US 17 at bridg over the Chowan River, Chowan and Bertie
counties.
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. 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#48 located on US 17 over the Chowan River,
with a new wider, high-rise bridge. This construction is a portion of the US 17 improvements
from west of the Chowan River to US 17 Business, east of Edenton. The proposed project would
result in the filling of approximately 261,489 ft of'404' vegetated wetlands. The Chowan River
is classified as class B, and nutrient sensitive waters (NSW)by the Environmental Management
Commission and is closed to shellfishing.
The Chowan River and Albemarle Sound are used by numerous species of resident and
anadromous fish as spawning, rearing, feeding and escape areas. Increased turbidity in these
areas results in the destruction of spawning habitat, and may greatly diminish egg and fry
survival. Turbidity and the disturbance caused by bridge construction equipment can also hinder
the movement of anadromous fish.
We remain concerned over potential impacts to the aquatic environments of the Chowan
River and Albemarle Sound and the associated wetlands. However,we will not oppose the
issuance of the applicable permits with the following conditions:
z 1. The applicant or the contractor shall not dredge work canals in the Chowan River.

j 2. Work barges shall be floated into place and then sunk. They shall not be sunk then
• dragged into place.
( 3. Wet concrete shall not be allowed to contact the water in the Chowan River,
Albemarle Sound or their tributaries. Water inside coffer dams or casings that has
been in contact with wet concrete should only be returned to the river when it no
longer poses a threat to aquatic organisms.
3 1, 4. Construction staging areas shall be situated in uplands, specifically not in wetlands.
5. Temporary construction access structures shall be removed immediately after
construction has been complete.
(,, 6. Wetland sites impacted by temporary construction access shall be monitored to insure
that natural revegetation is occurring. If a site is not revegetating within one year of
the date the construction access is removed,NCDOT shall plant the site with the
original species that were present prior to the construction.
7. Turbidity curtains or casings shall be installed around any bottom disturbing activities
and shall remain in place until sediments have settled.
8. Wetland mitigation shall be provided for impacts to `404' wetlands in accordance with
the conditions of the individual `404' permit.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide input into this permit application review. If you
need further information on these comments, please contact me at(919) 528-9886.

Dear Mr. Vick: 8 Di.,
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of an
application for State approval for development of property located on US 17 at
Bridge No. 38 over the Chowan River between Windsor and Edenton, Chowan and
Bertie County, North Carolina. It was received on 13 March 1996 and appears to
be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a
decision is 27 May 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. Hawthorne:
Re: Final Avoidance/Minimization Coordination for: Proposed Improvements to US-
17 from West of the Chowan River to US-17 Business; East of Edenton; Bertie and
Chowan Counties; TIP No. R-2512; State Project No. 8.T010602; Federal Aid No.
DPI-0199(005)
The following information is provided in an effort to answer questions and
respond to concerns raised by state and federal agencies during the final, pre-permit
application field review of the proposed improvements to US-17 from west of the
Chowan River to east of Edenton. For construction management purposes; the project
has been subdivided into R-2512A (from approximately 800 meters west of the Chowan
River to approximately 650 meters east of the Chowan River) and R-2512B (from +1-
650 meters east of the Chovian River to US-17 business, east of Edenton). Both
projects are scheduled to be let to construction simuitaneously (August 1996). A single
Section 404 permit application is being submitted fcr the overall project; inclusive of R-
2512A and R-2512B.
An interagency field review of the subject project was conducted on January 11,
1996. Attendees were given an opportunity to inspect the proposed alignment and
sites of anticipated impacts to wetlands and surface waters. During this inspection a
number of relevant questions were raised by one or more agency staff, including Mr.
David Cox (Wildlife Resources Commission), Mr. Eric Galamb (Division of
Environmental Management); Mr. Mike Bell (Corps of Engineers); Ms. Sara Winslow
(Division of Marine Fisheries) and Mr. David Moye (Division of Coastal Management). A
letter, which summarized and listed the concerns and questions raised by the state and
federal agencies, was mailed to all attendees on January 18, 1996.
The purpose of this letter is to provide responses to each of the issues and
questions raised by state and federal agencies during the field review. Each issue, or
question; and the Departments response is presented below.

Mr. Hawthorne
• Issue (1): The NCDOT is encouraged to submit separate CAMA Major
Development permits for the separate crossings of the Chowan River and
Pembroke Creek. Furthermore, the Division of Coastal Management(DCM) is
likely to define the CAMA permit area as being "from high ground to high ground',
which means that impacts to the adjacent Reedy Point Swamp wetlands (Chowan
River crossing) and the Pembroke Creek bottomlands (Pembroke Creek crossing)
must be included in the respective CAMA permit areas.
Response: The North Carolina Department of Transportation is submitting separate
CAMA applications for the Chowan River and Pembroke Creek crossings. Each
application will address a permit area that includes wetlands which are adjacent to the
public trust water for which a CAMA permit is required. The application for the Chowan
River crossing will be submitted to the Washington Field Office and the Pembroke
Creek crossing to the Elizabeth City Field Office of the DCM. A separate Individual
(Section 404) Permit application will be submitted to the US Army Corps of Engineers
(COE) for the entire project (R-2612A and R-2612B, combined).
• Question (2): Since erosion/sedimentation control standards for Nigh Quality
Waters (HQWs) are being required for the project, will two tiers of sediment
curtains be used during pile installations (for the proposed Chowan River bridge) ?
Response: Erosion and sedimentation control standards for HQWs do not require two
tiers of sediment curtains. The Department does not see any benefit to be derived from
the addition of a second curtain tier. Turbidity curtains typically do not extend to the
river bottom. When used, the curtains are removed when the water inside the curtain
has cleared of silts. Based upon studies conducted by the Department's Roadside
Environmental Unit, very little turbidity results from pile-jetting. Therefore, the
Department does not propose to use curtains at the sites of jetting operations,.but
curtains will be used at sites where sediment disturbances will occur.
• Question (3): Can the Department assure agencies that woody vegetation
outside the slope-stake lines at interchange quadrants will not be destroyed by
construction activities ? Also, can the Department avoid impacts to these woody
zones from long-term vegetation management practices ?
Response: Woody vegetation beyond the construction limits, sight distance triangles,
and vehicle recovery areas at interchange sites will be left undisturbed. The clearing
limits for the project includes an area approximately 10 feet beyond the slope-stake line.
Over time, periodic maintenance (trimming branches, etc.) will be required to maintain
sight distances to insure traffic safety.
• Question (4): Why cant the proposed construction access road for the planned
"land trestle..be located immediately north of the proposed eastbound lanes. in
lieu of the south side ? The north side of the proposed alignment will become,cart
of the median area, isolated between eastbound and westbound lanes.

Mr. Hawthorne
Response: This question has resulted in much study and consideration by the
Department's Construction Unit. Placing the haul road between the proposed land
trestle and existing US 17 is considered to be too risky to the safety of the motoring
public and to those involved in construction activities. To relocate the haul road to the
north side of the land trestle would require extensive use of concrete barriers and sheet
piling in an attempt to shield the work area from vehicular impacts: Although this
methodology is conceptually valid and, in fact, can be observed in practice throughout
the state on highway projects, in this instance, even if such barriers were installed, not
enough work space would remain to safely operate cranes and other heavy equipment.
The Department is adamant about the establishment and maintenance of a safe
work zone for the public, the contractor and, of course, the Department's
employees. Consequently, it will not be possible to relocate the haul road to the
north side of the proposed alignment. The proposed haul road is a temporary
facility which will result in only minimal impacts to wetlands. None of the woody
vegetation will be grubbed and a geotechnical fabric will be laid down before any fill is
placed in the haul road footprint. To a large extent, the temporary causeway will
mitigate against subsurface compaction by insulating subsoils from forces imposed by
equipment . Following construction, the fills and underlying fabric will be removed.
• Question (5): Although the NCDOT has been forced to construct the land trestle
across approximately 400 meters of floodplain wetlands on the east side of the
Chowan River(apparently due to undesirable gectechnical conditions). why can't
the NCDOT bridge the remaining portion of these high quality bottomiand wetlands
(to approximately station 5+340) ?
Response: Geotechnical concerns were not the only factor which led to the decision to
bridge approximately 1,200 feet of wetlands in this area. In fact, construction of the
land trestle will cost the Department approximately S1,000,000 more than constructing
a roadway on fill. The trestle design was recommended only after considering both
geotechnical and wetland impacts. This additional bridging was viewed by the
Department as a practicable alternative to filling approximately 1,200 linear feet of
wetlands. Furthermore, it was determined to be feasible and did not compromise any
of the design teams's geometric constraints which dictate such things as maintaining the
trestle above the 10-year flood plain (010) and maintaining a slope line that would
insure positive drainage from the Chowan River bridge!land trestle complex.
Unfortunately, the same cost factor can not be applied to an alternative which
extends the trestle further east. An engineering study was undertaken in an effort to
examine the feasibility of extending the trestle eastward to approximately station 4+900
(approximately 600 feet further east). The conclusion of this study is that moving the
end-bent 600 feet east would necessitate additional expenditures of S1.7 million for the
trestle extension (above the cost of a fill section), approximately S1.3 million for the
elevation of the bridge east of station 4+470 (the closest vertical curve), and S2 million

Page 4
March 12, 1996
Mr. Hawthorne
to modify the interchange located at SR 1204. The total costs associated with this
alternative design, $5 million, do not reflect the costs of additional design effort. Only
approximately 0.6 acre of wetland would be spared from fills (approximately 1.5 acre
savings from the additional 600 linear feet of bridging minus 0.9 acre of additional
impacts associated with the expanded footprint of the fill section east of 4+900).
Furthermore, since the relocated end-bent would have to be established at a higher
elevation than the proposed roadway elevation in order to hold the structure above the
Q10 elevation and provide room for maintenance underneath the structure, the bridge
east of station 4+470 and the roadway section east of station 4+900 would have to be
raised. Elevating the bridge structure would require larger footings, longer piles and
longer columns at an estimated cost of$1.3 million. Elevating the roadway would result
in two major consequences: (1) the interchange at SR 1204 would also have to be
elevated, resulting in an additional expenditure estimated to be $2 million, and (2) the
footprint of the elevated roadway section would impact approximately 0.9 additional acre
of wetland east of station 4+900.
This 0.6 acre net savings to wetlands would come at a cost of S8.33 million per
acre. The additional investment of tax dollars (S5 million) represents approximately 7.3
% of the total estimated construction and right of way costs of R-2512A (S68.7 million).
The cost cf mitigation, estimated to be approximately S750,000 has been included in
the overall project cost.
To consider bridging to the end of the Reedy Point Swamp wetlands would
result in substantial expenditures, well above the estimated $5 million that would be
required to extend the land trestle only 600 feet, and the resultant savings ;r wetland
from gills would be minimal (< 3.5 acre).
The Department strongly believes that it has fulfilled its obligations under
Section 404 and its efforts to avoid and minimize impacts to wetlands to the maximum
extent practicable are clearly demonstrable. The Department voluntarily proposes to
bridge 1,200 linear feet of wetlands on the east side of the Chowan River. An
additional expenditure of$5 million to extend the land trestle approximately 600
additional feet, resulting in a wetland savings of< 1.0 acre, is not practicable.
• Question (6): Why cant the NCDOT widen to the north side to avoid impacts to
higher quality wetlands, particularly at Pembroke Creek ?
Response: On the west side of the Chowan River; a subdivision and a cemetery are
located north of existing US 17. The cemetery is the subject of archaeologicai!historical
investigation, but is thought to be part of the Edenhouse estate, which is eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places. The location of the `eligible" property and the
subdivision, and the relatively small differences in north side vs. south side wetland
scenarios led to the selection of a south side alternative. East of the Chowan River. the
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) maintains a public boat ramp on
the north side of US 17. Any use of this 4(f) property would have been denies by the

Page 5
March 12, 1996
Mr. Hawthorne
Federal Highway.Administration unless there was no reasonable/prudent alternative.
Given the fact that the Department owns more right of way on the south side than on
the north side, and since wetland scenarios appeared to be approximately similar (pre-
delineation estimates suggested the recommended alternative was within 2-3 acres
[out of a total of+/- 20] of the alternative which would impact the least wetlands), it was
obvious to the Department that a reasonable and prudent alternative existed---a south
side alternative. East of the WRC boat ramp; a shift to the north side could not be
accomplished before the end of the wetland area; because of the geometric limits
imposed by acceptable highway design criteria. Furthermore, the proposed service road
would have to be shifted northward. This would result in greater impacts to wetlands by
the service road. Finally, at Pembroke Creek, the last major wetland concentration, the
WRC maintains a public Game Land west of the creek on the north side of US 17. The
only recourse on the north side to impacting the Game Land was to build the additional
two lanes and median section within the existing right of way north of US 17. It was
determined that insufficient right of way existed on the north side to accommodate the
fill section which would be required. In addition, the shift to the north wouid occur in a
1.5 mile section of roadway which would require demolition and replacement of the
existing roadway at an additional cost of$1.5 million. This cost could be higher,
depending on the nature of the undercut encountered.
• Issue (7): An in-stream construction moratorium will be required for work in
Pembroke Creek. The moratorium will be in effect February 15-May 30.
Response: The Department acknowledges that no in-stream construction will be
permitted in Pembroke Creek between February 15 and May 30 of any year.
• Question (8): Why can't the proposed end-bent on the west side of the Chowan
River be extended further west(to approximately station 1+540) to avoid impacts
to wetlands in this area ?
Response: Simply put, extending the bridge westward to station 1+540, a distance of
+/- 885 feet, would be very costly. Bridge surface elevations between the end-bent, at
its proposed location, and the bridge crest at the river channel have been critically
established to promote the removal of stormwater from the bridge surface. The last
vertical curve (station 2+200), located east of the end-bent (station 1+810) at its
proposed location, provides for a minimum +0.3 % slope on the bridge surface. This
tangent continues to roadway station 1+650, where the slope of the roadway tangent
changes to +0.95 %. Extending the bridge west to station 1+540 and maintaining
critical elevations to insure positive drainage would require that the bridge surface be
elevated to a point east of station 2+200. This would require larger foundations piers
and columns that support the affected bridge spans. The cost of extending the bridge
approximately 885 feet is estimated to be approximately $2.2 million more than a fill
section, not including the additional cost of up-sizing the structural supports or the
bridge (likely to exceed $1 million), or of additional design efforts. The savings of

Page 6
March 12, 1996
Mr. Hawthorne
approximately 2 acres of wetland would result from the additional expenditure of > 83
million. The Department strongly believes that the anticipated additional costs for such
work is not practicable. This expenditure conservatively represents between 4 and 5
of the total project cost (construction, right of way and mitigation costs combined).
• Question (9): If the bridge is extended west as recommended in #8. cant the
proposed lateral service road through wetlands (stations 1+520 to 1+620) be
eliminated, permitting the occupants of Parcel#2 to utilize their existing driveway,
which will pass under the new bridge deck ?
Response: Constructing a service road under an extended Chowan River bridge
would necessitate raising the bridge above what would be required to merely extend the
bridge (see response #8 for discussion of bridge extension and elevation of bridge
surface). Based upon current design standards, a 15-foot vertical clearance would be
required under the bridge for a service road. This translates into a requirement to
elevate the bridge approximately 5.1 feet above the proposed road surface elevation in
order to accommodate a service road under the bridge. Obviously; this additional
elevation would translate into larger ill requirements west of the bridge section and
would result in larger impacts to adjacent properties; including wetlands lying west of
station 1+520. The costs and impacts associated with this design modification would
be impracticable.
• Issue (10): Fre-construction and post-construction surveys of the SAV zone on
the east side of the Chowan River will be required so that pre-construction
population data can be contrasted with post-construction profiles (for mitigation
purposes).
Response: Underwater surveys, conducted during the Environmental Assessment
investigation, revealed the presence of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAVs) in the
shallows along the east shore of the Chowan River. The Department is committed to
providing reliable data on this population that will be useful in determinations of losses
due to construction activities and shading from the new bridge span. The Department
has agreed:
1. to conduct a definitive underwater survey to map the population, including
measuring population density and species composition, prior to construction
(Summer 1996) to establish a pre-construction community profile.
2. to conduct post-construction monitoring to ascertain losses, if any, that may result
from construction activities, including impacts from vertical bridge supports and
from sunken work barges.
3. to negotiate a reasonable monitoring program that is intended tc elucidate a
correlation between actual population declines (if any occur) and the juxtaposition
with the new bridge; based upon an hypothesized shade-effect.

ATTN: Ms. Ann B. Deaton, Bridge Specialist
Dear Ms. Deaton:
Subject:Bertie and Chowan Counties; North Carolina; Proposed Improvements to US
17, including the Replacement of Bridge No. 38 over the Chowan River;
TIP No. R-2512A; State Project No. 8.T010603; Federal Aid No. DP10199(005)
In accordance with 49 CFR 1.4(a)(3), application is hereby made by the North
Carolina Department of Transportation, Division of Highways (Department) for approval
by the Commandant, U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), of the location and plans for the
construction of a fixed span bridge to replace the existing US 17•bridge over the
Chowan River.
Project Location
The site is located approximately 15 miles east of Windsor (Bertie County) and
approximately 5 miles west of Edenton (Chowan County). The Chowan River serves as
the boundary between Chowan and Bertie Counties. Plans call for the replacement
bridge to be constructed slightly south (downstream) of the existing structure (see
attached drawings). The site of the proposed crossing of the Chowan River is located
approximately 1 mile upstream of its mouth with the Albemarle Sound.
Project Purpose
The proposed improvements to US 17, including construction of a new 4-lane
bridge across the Chowan River, will result in increased traffic capacity and will greatly
enhance highway safety. In addition, the project is being built as part of the
improvements to the Raleigh-Norfolk High Priority Corridor, funded by the United States
Department of Transportation to stimulate the economies of the counties in
northeastern North Carolina.

Existing Structure •
•
The proposal provides for the replacement of an aging (1953) reinforced
concrete structure, consisting of 347 fixed, variable-length, approach spans and a
swing span at the navigational channel. The existing structure is 7,922 feet long with a
fixed vertical clearance of 5 feet at the navigational channel and two horizontal
navigational clearances (one on either side of swing span) of 80'. Clear roadway width
of the existing structure is 26 feet.
Proposed Structure
The replacement structure consists of either 67 or 73 fixed spans (bids are
being solicited for two separate alternatives) with a total length of 8,159.5 feet, including
a navigational span of 229 feet. The main channel span will provide navigational
clearances of 200 feet (horizontal) and 65 feet (vertical). The existing fender system will
not be replaced. The clear roadway width of the proposed structure is 74 feet.
Federal Funding
Federal funds will be utilized and have been applied for under the U.S.
Department of Transportation Appropriation Act for fiscal year 1991-1992 and the
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991. The Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) project code for this action is DPI-0199(005).
State/Federal Permit Requirements
In addition to a USCG permit, 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 (An application to the COE for an
Individual Section 404 Permit is being submitted concurrently). It is anticipated that
the proposed action will be authorized by the COE under an Individual Permit since the
bridge replacement is part of a larger roadway widening project, which will result in
impacts to jurisdictional wetlands. Permits from the state Division of Environmental
Management (Section 401 Water Quality Certificate) and the Division of Coastal .
Management (Coastal Area Management Act Permit) will also be required. By
previous agreement with the COE and the Division of Coastal Management, the
Department is submitting separate permit applications to these two agencies. Once the
state and federal permits have been obtained they will be forwarded to your office.

NEPA Documentation
•
Based upon preliminary analyses, the FHWA determined that it was unlikely
that the proposal would result in significant impacts to the environment. In order to
ascertain the extent and specificity of environmental impacts, an Environmental
Assessment (EA) study was authorized in accordance with 23 CFR 771.115(c) & 40
CFR 1508.9 in 1992. The EA was signed on June 29, 1994. Based upon the results
of the EA, a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was signed and distributed on
March 15, 1995. Both these documents are enclosed for your consideration. The
record will show that the Department coordinated with the USCG during the preparation
of the EA and at least two preliminary public notices were issued by the USCG in
response to the Department's concerns about adequate navigational clearances.
Summary of Major Environmental Issues
There are no wildlife and/or waterfowl refuges, recreational areas, public parks or
registered historic sites within the immediate path of the proposed alignment, nor will
federally protected species be affected by the project.
• Archaeological/Historic Architectural Resources: A site considered to be eligible for
listing in the National Register of Historic Places is located several hundred meters
west of the Chowan River. The site, referred to as Edenhouse, is thought to be the
site of the early 18th century estate of North Carolina Governor Charles Eden. An
archaeological survey has been undertaken by a professional archaeological team.
The State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) has been consulted and a
Draft Data Recovery Plan is being submitted to the SHPO. It has been
determined that data recovery will result in a no adverse affect decision. A
cemetary thought to be closely associated with the Edenhouse estate lies on
the north side of the existing roadway and was one of the factors that led to
recommending a southside alternative. No other significant archaeological
or historic architectural resources occur within the project study area (EA:
pages 38-39).
• 4(t) Properties: A North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) public
boat ramp, a 4(f) property, is located on the east bank of the Chowan River, north of
the existing alignment. A new driveway access to the boat ramp is proposed as
part of this project and will provide safer ingress and egress. No use of this 4(f)
site will occur as a result of the proposed action. The presence of this 4(f)
property was another factor which led to the selection of a southside
alternative.
• The Chowan Gamelands, a NCWRC-managed Public Gamelands, is located on the
north side of existing US 17 in the vicinity of Pembroke Creek. The presence of this
.

Page 4 .
Ms. Ann Deaton
March 8, 1996
acre gametal-ids was considered in selecting a southside alternative. The project
will result in no.impacts to and no use of the Chowan Gamelands.
• Rare and Protected Species/Section 7: A biological investigation fully explored the
potential to impact any one of the five federally protected species listed for the
project area by the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The biological conclusion
reached is that none of the species listed will be affected by the proposed
action. The FWS has concurred with this finding (enclosures) and has
stipulated that Section 7 responsibilities have been fulfilled.
• Wetlands/Section 404: Wetlands and surface waters likely to be impacted by the
proposal have been delineated and the delineations have been approved by the
COE in May 1995. Locations of wetland/waters impacts are shown in the attached
drawings. A total of 5.14 acres of wetlands will be permanently impacted by the
proposed action, all of which is related to approachway construction. An additional
1.58 acres of wetlands will experience temporary impacts as a result of
approachway construction. Surface waters will receive 0.2 acre of permanent
impacts (pier/bent installation) and 1.93 acres of temporary impacts, principally from
sunken barge work platforms. A mitigation proposal, in accordance with Section
404 and the 1990 Memorandum of Agreement between the Environmental
Protection Agency and the COE is being submitted to the COE as part of the
Individual (Section 404) Permit application.
Alternatives that were studied during the EA investigation and their comparative
impacts are presented on pages 15-52 of the enclosed EA. Although this project is an
"improve existing" concept, which normally is viewed as the most environmentally
favorable, several alternatives were studied, including north- and south-side widening.
The Coastal Zone Consistency determination will be forwarded to your office by the
Division of Coastal Management as a normal consequence of processing the CAMA
application for the project. Alternatives that would avoid and/or minimize impacts to
wetlands have been fully explored and the Departments efforts in this regard are
documented in an attachment. A Section 401 Water Quality Certificate will be issued
by the state's Division of Environmental Management prior to issuance of the Section
404 or CAMA permits. No designated or proposed wild, scenic or recreational rivers
occur within 0.5 mile of the proposal. Data on prime/unique farmland, air and noise
•
analyses, information related to relocatees and comments from state and federal
agencies can be found on pages 42-54 of the EA. Comments on the EA and a
summary of Environmental Commitments can be found in the attached FONSI.
• 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.
M

The existing bridge will be demolished and removed immediately upon
completion of the replacement structure and its associated approachway sections
(anticipated completion date is August 1999). The Department will entertain
construction bids in May 1996 to allow for a construction start-up in August
1996. It is necessary to have all permit approvals prior to bid solicitations.
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 a Coastal Area Management Act permit.
Please include the TIP Number (R-2512) in any correspondence from your
office regarding this project. To insure that project commitments are successfully
met, your assistance in expediting the initiation of your public notice process is
respectfully requested. Should you have any questions or comments please
