ATTN: Mr. Bob Stroud
Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: CAMA MAJOR PERMIT MODIFICATION APPLICATION FOR
BRIDGE NOS. 63 AND 72 OVER THE WACCAMAW RIVER AND
OVERFLOW, COLUMBUS/BRUNSWICK COUNTIES, T.I.P. No. B-2120.
On September 30, 1994,The Division of Coastal Management(DCM) issued a
Coastal Area Management Act(CAMA)Major permit,permit number 117-94, for the
replacement of the two referenced bridges on NC 130 over the Waccamaw River and
Waccamaw River Overflow on the Columbus/Brunswick county line. A Corps of
Engineers Nationwide Permit No. 23 (Action ID No. 199403926)dated August 10, 1994
and a Division of Water Quality General Certification#2734 were also obtained.
The project was approved as a Categorical Exclusion by the Federal Highway
Administration in April 1994. The chosen alternative at that time,was to detour traffic
onto existing roads. Detouring traffic off-site was recommended based on lower cost and
lesser impacts to wetlands, endangered species (Shortnose Sturgeon), and adjacent
property. However, the Division Maintenance Office has since identified approximately
$585,000 in improvements to NC 904 and NC 905 required to accommodate the
additional traffic from the detour. This additional cost coupled with the need to spend
$250,000 to improve SR 1333 and SR 1928 for the detour of local traffic increases the
total cost for the off-site detour to $835,000. Due to this substantial increase in cost, the
recommended alternative has changed to replace the bridge at the existing location with
an on-site detour, Alternative 2 in the Categorical Exclusion. This was documented and
approved by FHWA in an"Addendum to Categorical Exclusion" in November 1996. A
copy of this Addendum is attached.

2
The new alternative will result in 0.07 acre of permanent impact in wetlands, 0.18
acre of temporary fill in wetlands, and 0.17 acre of mechanized clearing in wetlands. The
on-site detour will be constructed within the maintained utility easement which is north of
NC 130 and runs parallel with the road. In addition to the environmental commitments
listed in the"Categorical Exclusion",NCDOT has committed to remove the temporary
fill and lateral ditch and restore the area to preconstruction contour and re-vegetate. This
is stated in the"Addendum to Categorical Exclusion".
It is anticipated that these activities will be authorized by a major modification to
the original permit. Since the original permit expires 31 December 1997,NCDOT
requests that an extension be granted in the modification. Accordingly, a$250.00 check
is enclosed to cover the CAMA processing fee. The adjacent property owners have been
notified of the change in construction plans. Copies of the letters sent to property owners
and certified mail receipts are attached. The signed return receipts from these property
owners will be forwarded to you as soon as possible. By copy of this letter, a request is
also made to the Corps of Engineers for issuance of a new Nationwide Permit No. 23.
Thank you for your assistance. If you have any questions,please contact Michael
Wood at(919) 733-7844, Extension 306.

SUBJECT: Stream Crossing Guidelines for Anadromous Fish Passage
In response to permit questions raised by the natural resources community concerning
anadromous fish use of culverts, a multidisciplinary committee was established to review
this issue. This committee consisted of representatives from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, Wildlife Resources Commission, Division of
Marine Fisheries, Division of Environmental Management, as well as representatives
from the Planning and Environmental branch, Bridge Maintenance Unit, and Hydraulics
Unit of the NCDOT.
Together the attached guidelines were negotiated and developed to establish a uniform
policy on handling of this issue in our various project development activities. It generally
follows our current operating procedures.
Please advise appropriate staff and/or private support firms that this document is our
official policy and should be adhered to unless variance can be documented and found
warranted in specific situations,
Thank you for your cooperation with this policy.

STREAM CROSSING GUIDELINES
FOR ANADROMOUS FISH PASSAGE
Anadromous Fish are a valuable resource and their migration
must not be adversely impacted. The purpose of this document
is to provide guidance to the North Carolina Department of
Transportation to ensure that replacement of existing and new
highway stream crossing structures will not impede the
movement of Anadromous Fish.
Applicable When:
o Project is in the coastal plain defined by the
"Fall Line" as the approXifiate western limit
( see attached figure).:.'
o For perennial and intermittent streams delineated
on most recent USGS 7 . 5 minute quadrangle maps .
General Guidelines:
o Design and scheduling of projects should avoid the
necessity of instream activities during the spring
migration period . For the purposes of these
guidelines "Spring" is considered to fall between
February 15 and June 15 . (In areas where the
shortnose sturgeon may be present, the Cape Fear,
Brunswick and Waccamaw Rivers, spring shall be
defined as February 1 to June 15) .
o Bridges and other channel spanning structures
are preferred where practical.
Technical Guidelines :
o In all cases , the width, height and gradient c "
the proposed opening shall be such as to pass
the average historical spring flow without
adversely altering flow velocity . Spring flow
should be determined from gage data if available .
In the absence of this data, bankfull flow can be
used as a comparative level . (Reference, "Fisher`. -
Handbook of Engineering Requirements and Biological
Criteria" , Bell 1973 , for fish swimming
limitations . )
o The invert of culverts shall-be set at least one
foot below the natural stream bed .

NCWRC , HCP ,FALLS LAKE TEL :[phone] Jan 28 ' 98 10 : 06 No . 003 P . 05
Stream Crossing Guidelines
for Anadromous Fish Passage
Page -2-
o Crossings of perennial streams serving watersheds
greater than one square mile shall provide a
minimum of four (4 ) .feet of additional opening
width (measured at spring flow elevation) to allow
for terrestrial wildlife passage.
o In stream footings for bridges will be set one fo
below the natural stream bed when practical .
For crossing sites which require permit review the followy:_c
information will be provided as a minimum /to facilitate
resource agency review.
o Plan and profile views .showing the existing and
proposed crossing strctures in relation to the
stream bank and bed.
o Average historical spring flow (or bankfull flow)
for the site.
o How the proposed structure will affect the velocity
and stage of ther ,spring flow (bankfull) .
o Justification for any variance from the guideline
recommendations .

I. Background
A Project Planning Report (Categorical Exclusion) for the subject project was
approved by the Federal Highway Administration in April 1994.
The recommended alternate was to replace the bridge at the existing location and
detour traffic off-site. Detouring traffic off-site was recommended based on lower cost
and lesser impacts to wetlands, endangered species (Shortnose Sturgeon), and adjacent
property.
II. Environmental Commitment
In addition to the environmental commitments in the Categorical Exclusion, the
temporary detour approach fills and lateral ditch will be removed to preconstruction
contour and re-vegetated.
III. Discussion
During the development of the Categorical Exclusion, no improvements to NC
904 and NC 905 were recommended. The Division Maintenance Office has identified
approximately $585,000 in improvements to NC 904 and NC 905 required to
accommodate the additional traffic. This additional cost increases the total off-site detour
cost from the $250,000 needed to improve SR 1333 and SR 1928 for detour of local
traffic to $835,000. Due to the substantial increase in the cost of the off-site detour, the
recommended alternate has changed to replace the bridge at the existing location with an
on-site detour, Alternate 2 in the Categorical Exclusion.
Traffic will be maintained on-site with a temporary detour structure immediately
north of the existing bridge. The temporary detour structure will be a bridge 150 feet in
length spanning the main channel. Preliminary hydraulic studies determined that in order
to accommodate the five year storm a detour structure is not required for the overflow
channel. A temporary lateral ditch will be constructed along the north side of the detour
to channel water from the overflow structure.
The on-site detour involves construction of a temporary roadway and bridge
which will parallel the existing roadway starting approximately 500 feet west of Bridge

No. 63 and ending approximately 400 feet east of Bridge No. 72 for a total length of 1650
feet. Design speed for detour will be a minimum of 40 mph.
The cost of the project with no improvements to NC904 and NC 905 was
$1,489,500. The cost for the project, including the on-site detour, is estimated at
$1,823,000.
IV. Environmental Considerations
The on-site detour will entail laying mats and temporarily filling approximately
2.1 acres of wetland. This fill and the temporary structure will be removed after
construction of the permanent bridges is complete.
An individual Section 404 permit will not be required from the Corps of
Engineers because the conditions of Section 404 Nationwide Permit #23, Categorical
Exclusion, under 33 CFR 330 Appendix A (B-23) are applicable. However, final permit
decisions are left to the discretionary authority of the United States Army Corps of
Engineers.
The Shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum) has been documented in the
lower section of the Waccamaw River, but no surveys have been conducted this far
upstream. If the Shortnose sturgeon does travel here to spawn, its migration would not be
hampered by the proposed project because flow will not be impeded. An informal
consultation was held on February 3, 1994 at the site to determine the potential impacts to
the Shortnose sturgeon. Environmental commitments were developed to prevent impacts
to the Shortnose sturgeon and are included in the Environmental Commitment section of
the Categorical Exclusion.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Doug Huggett
FROM: Jerry A. Parker
DATE: December 3, 1997 RECEIVED
SUBJECT: Minor Modification and Renewal DEC 0 4 1997
State Permit #117-94 BOAST
'�MANAGEMENT
Please find enclosed a request from H. Franklin Vick of the NC Department of Transportation to
modify and extend Permit #117-94. This permit was issued on 09/30/94 for the replacement of
bridges #72 and #63 across the Waccamaw River on Hwy 130 in the New Britton community of
Brunswick County. Waccamaw River, which has been designated as inland waters by the Division of
Marine Fisheries, represents the boundary between Brunswick and Columbus counties. Bridge # 72
crosses Waccamaw River proper and therefore separates Brunswick County from Columbus County.
However, Bridge #63 crosses the Waccamaw River overflow and is entirely in Columbus County The
applicant is proposing to modify the permit (Alternate 2 within the original permit application) by
relocating the off-site detouring traffic to an on-site location within the maintained utility easement
which is north of NC 130 and runs parallel with the road. The modification has become necessary
because of the additional costs for improvements ($835,000) associated with the original plan of
detouring traffic to an off-site location. The applicant is proposing a 230 ft long by 25 ft wide
temporary bridge over Waccamaw River as the detour for Bridge #72. The applicant is also proposing
temporary fill with maximum dimensions of 160 ft by 61 ft in federal wetlands in association with the
detour over the Waccamaw River overflow (Bridge #63) in Columbus County. The modifications will
result in 0.07 acre of permanent impact in federal wetlands, 0.18 acre of temporary fill in federal
wetlands, and 0.17 acre of mechanized clearing in federal wetlands. The applicant has committed to
removing the temporary fill and restoring the area to preconstruction contour and re-vegetating at the
completion of the project. The dimensions of the proposed wetland fill on the Brunswick county side
of the bridge are 29.52 ft X 36.08 ft X 13.12 ft which equates to 183.28 sq. ft. or 0.0042 acres. All
remaining fill within wetlands is proposed on the Columbus county side. Columbus County is not
included within the twenty coastal counties which fall under CAMA jurisdiction. No fill material is
proposed below normal high water. The proposed wetland fill involves no coastal wetlands and all
proposed fill, including that on the Brunswick County side, is outside the jurisdiction of the Division
of Coastal Management.

The applicant has already received conditional federal authorization from the US Army Corps of
Engineers pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 23 pending receipt of authorization from all affected
state and local agencies.
As mentioned earlier, the applicant is also requesting an extension of permit # 117-94 which is due to
expire on December 31, 1997. The applicant has submitted the necessary information and meets the
requirements set forth in 07J.0404(a). The applicant wishes for a concomitant review of both requests
(modification and extension).
All conditions and stipulations of the original permit should remain in force except as altered within
the request for modification.
I recommend that the applicant receive the modification and extension as requested.
