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 +/-
650 meters east of the Chowan River to US-17 business, east of Edenton). Both
projects are scheduled to be let to construction simultaneously (August 1996). A single
Section 404 permit application is being submitted for 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 Gaiamb (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 Department's response is presented below.
•
.or

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-2512A and R-2512B, combined).
• Question (2): Since erosion/sedimentation control standards for High 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 can't 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 part
of the median area isolated between eastbound and westbound lanes.

Page 3
March 12, 1996
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 NCDGT 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' geometric constraints which dictate such things as maintaining the
trestle above the 10-year flood plain (Q10) 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 $1.3 million for the
elevation of the bridge east of station 4+470 (the closest vertical curve), and ` 2 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 of mitigation, estimated to be approximately S750,000 has beer 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 S5 miiiion that would be
required to extend the land trestle only 600 feet, and the resultant savings in wetland
from fills 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 Chown 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 ar chaeciogicaihistor ical
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 (VVRC) 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 cant 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 west:vard 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 laraer 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 on 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> $3
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 fill 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): Pre-construction and post-construction surreys of the SA`✓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 to elucidate a
correlation between actual population declines (if any occur) and the juxtaposition
with the new bridge, based upon an hypothesized shade-effect.

Dear Ms. Mathis:
Subject: CAMA Major Development Permit Application for: Proposed Constructio
Bridge over Pembroke Creek and Associated Improvements to US 17 in
Chowan County; TIP No. R-2512B; State Project No. 8.T010603; Federal Aid
No. DPI0199(005)
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (Department) is proposing to
construct a new bridge over Pembroke Creek on US 17, as part of overall plans to
improve and upgrade US 17 in Bertie and Chowan Counties. The new structure will be
built south (downstream) of the existing alignment to provide for two additional travel
lanes on US 17. Traffic will continue to utilize the existing alignment, therefore, no
detour facility is required.
The new 301 ft. long reinforced concrete bridge will have five fixed spans. The
two end-bents and two of the four interior bents will be installed outside the stream
channel. Only two support bents will be in the stream at normal water elevation. The
new bridge will provide +/- 6.5 feet of vertical clearance beneath the structure and +/-
55 feet of horizontal clearance at the channel.
Roadway fill sections immediately east and west of the proposed bridge will
result in the filling of a portion of bottomland wetlands which lie adjacent to Pembroke
Creek. The Major Development Permit application addresses the Pembroke Creek
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 Pembroke
Creek is a Public Trust Water Area of Environmental Concern.
A Section 404 Individual Permit is being sought concurrently from the US Army
Corps of Engineers (COE). In accordance with the 1990 Memorandum of 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

There are no Coastal Wetlands in the project impact area.
The NCDOT 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. I have attached CAMA Major Development Permit application

downstream from the existing structure.

NC DOT US 17 Pembroke Creek Bridge
Bio Report
Page Two
Site Description
The proposed bridge site is adjacent and downstream from the existing US 17 Bridge
which crosses Pembroke Creek in Edenton. Pembroke Creek is a tributary to
Edenton Bay and the Albemarle Sound. This bridge is approximately two miles east
of the Chowan River.
The waters of Pembroke Creek are classified by the Wildlife Resources Commission
as Inland Waters. The waters of Pembroke Creek are also classified as Public Trust
Waters by the Division of Coastal Management and are part of the Estuarine System
Area of Environmental Concern.
The water depths at this crossing vicinity of Pembroke Creek range from 3 ft. to 15.7
ft. NWL. The existing bridge allows for a vertical clearance somewhere between 4
and 6.6 ft, and a horizontal clearance of approximately 56 ft., at NWL. The existing
bridge has six bent piles, two of which are placed within Public Trust Waters. The
creek is approximately 167 ft. wide at this crossing. This existing bridge structure
limits upstream navigation uses to small recreational vessels.
The shoreline is vegetated in a canopy of Acer rubrum (red maple), Taxodium
distichum (bald cypress) and Nyssa aquatica (water tupelo) as well as Magnolia
virginiana (sweet bay or swamp magnolia), Myrica cerifera (wax myrtle),
Chamaecyparis thyoides (Atlantic white cedar) and Juniperus virginiana (red cedar).
Areas adjacent to the road and bridge right-of-way where a wooded canopy does not
exist are vegetated in Typha latifolia, Juncus roemerianus and various sedges as well
as Phragmitis australis and other grasses. About 6,250 sf. (0.144 A.) of coastal
marsh vegetation is present on the west stream bank.
Proposed Work
The applicant is in the process of widening the existing two lane US 17 roadway in
Perquimans, Chowan and Bertie Counties. This Major Permit Application review
concerns the Pembroke Creek crossing and its associated wetlands. The applicant has
also applied for a separate Permit for the Chowan River and its associated wetlands.
The applicant proposes to construct two new lanes and new bridge crossings adjacent
to the existing road and bridge facilities. This new roadway and bridge structure will
increase the current traffic capacity to four lanes. The new bridge structure at
Pembroke Creek will be 301 ft. in length and require six bent piles. Two support
piles will be placed in Public Trust Waters. The proposed bridge structure will
provide about 6.5 ft. of vertical clearance and about 55 ft. of horizontal clearance.
The proposed structure will require the protection of about 430 ft. of shoreline with
rip-rap stabilization stone. The proposed bridge structure will also require the filling
of 132,741 sf. (3.048 A.) of section '404' wetlands and the shading of about 4,500 sf.
(0.104 A.) of Coastal Wetlands.

•
NC DOT US 17 Pembroke Creek Bridge
Bio Report
Page Three
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed work will shade a small Coastal Wetland area. The proposed bridge
across Pembroke Creek will require bridge support structures be placed in less than
100 sf. of Public Trust Waters. The new span will shade 6667 sf. (0.153 A.) of
Public Trust Waters. The new roadway and bridge span will require the filling of
3.048 A. of '404' type wetlands.
The proposed roadway and bridge work on this transportation corridor will result in
increased turbidity in the adjacent drainage area, including Pembroke Creek and the
Chowan River.
The proposed bridge span and roadway are adjacent to an existing span and roadway.
The proposed span will not reduce vertical or horizontal clearances or limit upstream
navigation beyond that caused by the existing facilities.
CAMA Review
A review of the LUP and my comments will be presented under a separate document.

CAMA REVIEW
CurrentlyNC DOT is wideningUS 17 in Per uimans00:. an
q
Counties. This construction includes the construction of an
additional bridge at Pembroke Creek in Edenton to accommodate two
additional lanes of traffic.
The proposed bridge structure will not restrict navigation on
Pembroke Creek beyond that which is already experienced due to the
existing bridge. The proposed bridge piles will require the filing
of less than 100 sf. and the shading of about 6, 667 sf. of Public
Trust Waters. The bridge span will shade 4, 500 sf. of Coastal
Wetlands. The currently proposed bridge and road structure will
also impact 132 , 741 sf. (3 . 048 A. ) of freshwater wetlands resources
managed by the US COE.
The Town of Edenton 1991 Land-Use Plan addresses resource
protection. It is the policy stated in this Plan for the Town to
do all in its power to protect public trust rights for navigation
and recreation and to assist state and federal agencies in
maintenance and preservation of these areas. The Plan's
Implementation Strategies include support for a Conservation Zone
along Pembroke Creek in areas where hydric soils are present. The
Plan also encourages the development of a vegetative buffer between
development and Public Trust Waters. The Plan strategy recommends
permitting only those water-dependent uses in Public Trust Waters
that are allowed under CAMA and US COE regulations.
In this regard, the proposed development will be consistent
with The Town of Edenton 1991 Land-Use Plan so long as the
development is approved by these two resource management agencies.

RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend the proposed project be permitted with the
following conditions.
[1] In order to protect juvenile finfish populations, no
excavation or filling will be permitted between
February 15 and September 30 of any year without the
prior approval of the Division of Coastal Management, in
consultation with the Division of Marine Fisheries.
[2] The riprap will not extend waterward more than 5 feet
from the NWL water level at any point along its alignment
at the time of construction.
[3 ] 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.
[4] No marsh grass will be excavated and/or filled.
[5] The temporary placement or double-handling of excavated
or fill materials within waters or vegetated wetlands is
not authorized.
[6] No excavated or fill material will be placed at any time,
in any mar's —or surrounding waters, outside of the
alignment of the fill area indicated on the work plat(s) .
[7] All excavated fill materials will be confined above mean
high water and landward of regularly or irregularly
flooded marsh behind adequate dikes or other retaining
structures to prevent spill-over of solids into any marsh
or surrounding waters.
[8] The disturbed areas will be properly graded and provided
a ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion within
thirty (30) working days of project completion.
\ [9] The authorized structure and associated activity must not
cause an unacceptable interference with navigation.

DATE: May 8, 1996
SUBJECT: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Public Notice for Action ID No.
199400991, review of application for North Carolina Department of
Transportation(NCDOT)to fill approximately 0.22 acres of waters and
16.20 acres of wetlands to widen US 17,from west of the Chowan River
to just east of Edenton, Chowan and Bertie counties, North Carolina.
Staff biologists with the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC) have
reviewed the information provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Our comments
are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33
U.S.C. 466 et seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat. 401, as
amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The proposed project involves construction of a Chowan River bridge and
widening existing US 17 from just east of the Chowan River to just east of Edenton to a
four-lane freeway. Impacts to wetlands and waters includes the filling of 0.22 acres of
surface waters and the filling of 16.20 acres of'404' wetlands adjacent to the Chowan
River , Pembroke Creek and their unnamed tributaries. Mitigation proposed by NCDOT
for these impacts involves debiting the Company Swamp Mitigation Bank at a 7.5:1 ratio
for the impacts to wetlands adjacent to the Chowan River and Pembroke Creek and
debiting the Dismal Swamp Mitigation site for the remainder of the impacts at a 2:1 ratio.
We participated in the interagency field review on January 11, 1996 and have
subsequently reviewed the additional information provided by Mr. Randy Turner. We
remain concerned about wetland avoidance issues in the areas of Pembroke Creek and the
Chowan River. These wetland systems have high functional values and are providing
important fish and wildlife habitat.
Questions were raised by the resource agencies regarding an alignment shift to the
north on the west of Pembroke Creek to use a disturbed area for the new construction.
NCDOT responded that this was not feasible. We concur with this conclusion,however,

NCWPC , MCP .FALLS LAKE TEL : [phone] May 09 '96 8 : 10 No . 001 P . 03
Memorandum 2 May 8, 1996 1
we feel that NCDOT should restore the disturbed area as this is a direct result of the
original US 17 construction.
We requested that NCDOT investigate extending the new causeway, east of the
Chowan River to avoid wetlands. NCDOT responded that this is not feasible due to
added costs and design problems. We concur that the added costs do not justify the
wetland savings. We do feel that NCDOT should retain a barrier median through the
wetlands on the east side of the Chowan River and taper to the standard median in
uplands. We also feel that NCDOT should install pipe arches in the existing fill
causeway. These floodplain wetlands were significantly altered when the original US 17
was constructed and in absence of an avoidance option for this valuable swamp forest,
NCDOT should restore the hydrologic connectivity across the existing fill.
In addition to the mitigative measures discussed above,we recommend the
following conditions be include in the '404' permit:
1. No in-water work shall be conducted in Pembroke Creek during the period
February 15 to June 30.
2. The applicant or the contractor shall not dredge work canals in the Chowan
River.
3. Work barges shall be floated into place and then sunk. They shall not be sunk
then dragged into place.
4. Wet concrete shall not be allowed to contact the water in, Pembroke Creek,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.
5. Construction staging areas shall be situated in uplands, specifically not in
wetlands.
6. Temporary construction access structures shall be removed immediately after
construction has been complete.
7. 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.
8. Turbidity curtains or casings shall be installed around any bottom disturbing
activities and shall remain in place until sediments have settled.
9. Borrow and waste areas shall not be allowed in wetlands.
10. Cleared and maintained areas in wetlands shall be included in wetland impact
totals and shall be mitigated.
11. Surveys for Submerged Aquatic Vegetation(SAV) shall be conducted prior to
the initiation of construction activities in the Chowan River. The area shall
again be surveyed after construction is complete and a report detailing the

findings shall be submitted to the resource agencies for review. If SAVs have
been impacted, NCDOT shall provide acceptable mitigation.
We have no objection to the issuance of the '404' permit for this project provided
our recommendations are included as conditions of the permit.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this permit application.

DATE: April 19, 1996
SUBJECT: CAMA/Dredge 1 Permit Application for NCDOT to construct a new bridge
on US 17 ov r Pembroke ek, Chowan 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. 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 construct a new bridge on US 17 over Pembroke Creek. This
construction is a portion of the US 17 improvements from west of the Chowan River to US 17
Business, Bast of Edenton. The proposed project would result i1J the filling of approximately
132,741 ft of'404' vegetated wetlands and the filling of 100 ft of public trust waters.
Pembroke Creek is classified as class SC, by the Environmental Management Commission and is
not a primary nursery area.
Pembroke Creek is 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:
1. No in-water work shall be conducted during the period February 15 to June 30.

r '
2. Wet concrete shall not be allowed to contact the water in Pembroke Creek or its
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. Construction staging areas shall be situated in uplands, specifically not in wetlands.
4. Temporary construction access structures shall be removed immediately after
construction is complete.
5. 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 undertake remedial action.
Remedial action should include planting the site with the original species that were
present prior to the construction.
6. Turbidity curtains or casings shall be installed around any bottom disturbing activities
and shall remain in place until sediments have settled.
7. 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. Bell;
The Division of Environmental Management(DEM) is issuing Water Quality
Certification No. 3066 to the N.C. Department of Transportation for improvements to US
17 (TIP No. R-2512). A condition of the Certification is for a COE approved wetland
compensatory mitigation package. Mr. Eric Galamb spoke to Mr. Randy Turner on May
17, 1996. Mr.Turner verbally agreed to a 10:1 debit Of the Company Swamp Mitigation
bank instead of the proposed 7.5:1. DEM suggests that this be a condition of the 404
permit for this project.
The DOT has agreed to remove the overburden on the east and west sides of
Pembroke Creek. The Division of Forest Resources has provided DOT with a planting list
for this location. DEM suggests that the COE permit require this additional mitigation
with a success criteria of 320 stems per acre surviving three years after planting.
All other mitigation proposed by DOT is acceptable to DEM provided there is a 1 0:1
debit of the Company Swamp, and the additional restoration of the overburden area at
Pembroke.Creek.
Should you have any questions, please contact Mr. Eric Galarnb at [phone].

MEMORANDUM:
TO: John R. Parker, Jr., DCM Major Permits Processing Coordinator
THROUGH: P. A. Wojciechowsk
FROM: Sara E. Winslow, Biologist Superviso
SUBJECT: NC DOT - Hwy 17 Pembroke Creek
DATE: March 27, 1996
The following comments by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries are
provided pursuant to General Statute 113-131.
Pembroke Creek 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 as a nursery.
The Division approves of this project with the following modifications. A
construction moratorium is reques er Pembroke Creek. The
requested moratorium time fra e is from 15 February through 30 June. This will ensure the
environmental integrity of the area ' deal ' of usage by the above
mentioned species.
This agency is concerned with the filling of 132,741 sq. ft. of vegetated freshwater
wetlands. The importance of wetlands has been well documented. Even though not
addressed in the Bio-report, this agency has received notification of the proposed mitigation
for the loss of these wetlands. The proposed mitigation ratio is 7.5:1, which is very
adequate. However, the mitigation in-kind is not on site. This agency however, stresses the
point that if the bridge was constructed on the upstream side of the existing bridge the
impacts to wetlands would be considerable less.

We have reviewed the permit application for the above project.
We would like to notify you that this project should be undertaken with caution. If
during construction submerged archaeological materials are encountered, such as
shipwreck remains, it is the responsibility of the Army Corps of Engineers-
Wilmington District to notify this office immediately, pursuant to Section 106 of
the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. In addition, the area is protected by
North Carolina legislation (G.S. 121-22 to 28, Article 3: salvage of Abandoned
shipwrecks and other underwater archaeological materials on all bottoms from low
water to one marine league seaward, and bottoms of other navigable waters). This
law is supported by the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 (P.L. 100-298) which
gives the state jurisdiction over a broad range of living and nonliving resources in
state waters and submerged lands, including certain abandoned shipwrecks, which
have been deserted and to which the owner has relinquished ownership rights with
no retention.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions
concerning the above comment, please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental
review coordinator, at 919/733-4763.

PUBLIC NOTICE 5-888
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
All interested parties are notified that an application has been
received from the North Carolina Department of Transportation by
the Commander, Fifth Coast Guard District, for approval of
construction of a new bridge over a navigable waterway of the
United States.
WATERWAY AND LOCATION: Chowan River, mile 1 . 9, Edenton, North
Carolina
CHARACTER OF WORK: The North Carolina Department of
Transportation is proposing to construct a new 4-lane fixed
highway bridge across the Chowan River to replace the existing
swing-span bridge on Route 17 . The new bridge will be
constructed slightly south (downstream) of the existing bridge.
The new crossing will be 1 mile upstream of the mouth of the
Chowan River. The old swing-span bridge will completely be
removed once the new bridge is completed.
MINIMUM NAVIGATIONAL CLEARANCES:
Existing Proposed
Vertical clearance - 4 feet Vertical clearance - 65 .0 feet
at mean high water and 8 feet at mean high water; 69 .0 feet
at mean low water ( in the at mean low water.
closed position) . Unlimited
clearance in the open
position.
Horizontal clearance - 80 feet Horizontal clearance - 200
between the fender system. feet normal to the axis of
the channel . (The existing
fender system will not be
replaced. The navigational
lights will mark the new 200-
. foot navigation channel
through the bridge. )
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Federal Highway Administration,
lead Federal agency, has approved an Environmental
Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact ( EA/FONSI ) for this

16590
project. A copy of the EA/FONSI is available for review at the
office of Commander (ob) , Fifth Coast Guard District, 431
Crawford Street, Portsmouth, Virginia.
The applicant has applied for a Coastal Zone Management
Certificate and a Water Quality Certificate from the North
Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources
(NC DEHNR) .
The new bridge will be located in the floodplain, and the bridge
piers will be constructed in the waterway. The proposed fixed
highway bridge will be serving the same highway corridor as the
existing bridge. Drift and flood heights in this area are the
result of tidal action. Since the bridge will be constructed
with greater horizontal and vertical clearances, the water should
flow more freely than with the existing bridge.
WETLANDS: The proposed project will impact 19 . 2 acres of
palustrine forested wetlands and an additional 2. 2 acres of
wetlands will be impacted as a result of the proposed service
road for a total of 21 . 4 acres. Submerged Aquatic Vegetation
( SAVs ) that will be impacted as a result of the proposed project
is 0.06 acres.
SAVs within the vicinity of the project area consist of the
following:
Water willow, giant reed, scattered bald cypress and
sycamore, parrot-feather, tapegrass and water-weed.
AQUATIC: The following animal species likely to occur within the
aquatic community in the Chowan River are:
Alewife, blueback herring, bowfin, carp, catfish, crayfish,
eastern mosquitofish, eastern mudminnow, herring, largemouth
bass, longnose gar, mussels, pickerel, striped bass, and sunfish.
WILDLIFE: The following animal species likely to occur within
the hardwood swamp forest community are:
Barred owl, beaver, bullfrog, cotton mouse, cottonmouth,
eastern mud turtle, eastern kingsnake, golden mouse, mink,
muskrat, northern parula, northern watersnake, otter, pickerel
frog, raccoon, sliders, snapping turtle, southeastern shrew,
southern and leopard frog.
FOWL: Blue-gray gnatcatcher, downy woodpecker, great blue heron,
hairy woodpecker, ovenbird, prothonotary warbler, swamp sparrow,
and yellow-throated warbler.
2

16590
ENDANGERED/THREATENED SPECIES: The following species may be
found within the project area:
Bald Eagle - An adult bald eagle was sighted 600 feet from the
existing bridge perched in a tree; however, construction of the
• bridge will not reduce foraging opportunities for the eagle.
Biological conclusion - no effect.
Red-Cockaded Woodpecker - No nesting or foraging habitat exists
within the vicinity of the proposed project, therefore, no
impacts to the woodpecker will occur as a result of the project.
Biological conclusion - no effect.
Kemp' s Ridley Sea Turtle - No nesting or foraging habitat exists
within the area of the proposed project. Biological conclusion -
no effect.
Loggerhead Sea Turtle - No nesting or foraging habitat exists
within the area of the proposed project. Biological conclusion -
no effect.
Green Sea Turtle - No nesting or foraging habitat exists within
the area of the proposed project. Biological conclusion - no
effect.
Based on a biological investigation, a conclusion was reached
that none of the species listed above will be affected by the
proposed project. As stated in the U. S. Fish & Wildlife
Service ' s letter dated December 1, 1992, to the North Carolina
Department of Transportation, . . . "There is no Federally-listed
critical habitat in the project impact area for any of the above
listed referenced species. "
HISTORIC PROPERTIES : The Edenhouse, considered to be eligible
for listing in the National Register of Historic Places is
located west of the Chowan River. A cemetary closely associated
with the Edenhouse lies on the north side of the existing
roadway. SHPO has been consulted and a Draft Data Recovery Plan
is being submitted to SHPO. An archaeological survey has been
undertaken by an archaeological team. No other significant
archaeological or historic architectural resources occur within
the project study area.
4F PROPERTIES : A North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC) public boat ramp is located on the east bank of the
Chowan River, north of the existing alignment. No use of this
4( f) site will occur as a result of the proposed project.
3

16590
The Chowan Gamelands, a NCWRC-managed Public Gamelands, is
located on the north side of US17 of Pembroke Creek. The
proposed project will not have an impact on or use of the Chowan
Gamelands.
No unique or prime farmland, or wild and scenic rivers will be
impacted as a result of the proposed project. No displacement of
businesses will occur as a result of the proposed project. One
residence will be displaced as a result of the proposed project.
The relocation will be conducted in accordance with the Federal
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Policies of 1970 ( Public Law 91-646 ) , and/or the North Carolina
Relocation Assistance Act.
SOLICITATION OF COMMENTS:
Interested parties are requested to express their views, in
writing, on the construction of the proposed bridge giving
sufficient detail to establish a clear understanding of their
reasons for support of or opposition to the proposed work.
Comments will be received for the record at the office of
Commander (ob) , Fifth Coast Guard District, 431 Crawford Street,

Dear Mr. Vick:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application
for State approval for development of property located at Pembroke Creek and US 17,
Edenton, Chowan County. It was received on March 11, 1996, and appears to be adequate
for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is May 25, 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 serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an additional letter will
be provided on or about the 75th day.
NCGS 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at 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.
