MEMORANDUM
TO: Doug Huggett
FROM: M. Ted Tyndall
SUBJECT: Field Recommendation and Conditions for the North Carolina Department of
Transportation's Project (Bridge # 3) on SR 1300 over Back Creek south of
Merrimon, Carteret County
DATE: October 10, 1995
Although the project is described as a bridge replacement project, there is additional
work that involves upgrading SR 1300 along the approaches to the bridge. Consequently, the
impacts to Coastal Wetlands are greater than that normally associated with projects involving
the replacement of a bridge with a bridge. It appears that approximately 2,800 ft2 of Coastal
Wetlands would be filled during the project. And although the project was modified to
minimize the overall impact to the wetlands, I recommend that the permit be conditioned to
include a mitigation requirement for the impacts to the Coastal Wetlands. I also recommend
that no excavation or filling of Coastal Wetlands or in Estuarine Waters be permitted during
the time identified by the Division of Marine Fisheries as the peak period of biological
activity for Back Creek. Given those comments and with the following conditions attached, I
have no objections to the permitting of the proposed project:
1. A silt screen will be placed immediately upstream and downstream of the project site
prior to any excavation and filling activity and not removed until 24 hours after the
completion of all such activities.
2. The fill and riprap associated with the shifting of the road within the southwestern
most canal will not extend waterward more than 10 feet from the mean high water
level at any point along its alignment at the time of construction. The riprap along
the southeastern most canal will not extend waterward more than 7 feet from the
mean high water level at any point along its alignment.
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. The riprap material must consist of clean rock or masonry materials such as, but not
limited to, granite or broken concrete. Materials such as tires, car bodies, scrap
metal, paper products, tree limbs, wood debris, organic material or similar material,
are not considered riprap.

Doug Huggett memo
October 10, 1995
Page 2
5. All backfill material will be obtained from a highground source and confined behind
the permitted riprap.
6. The fill material will be clean and free of any pollutants, except in trace quantities.
Metal products, organic materials, or unsightly debris will not be used.
7. The temporary placement or double-handling of excavated or fill materials within
waters or vegetated wetlands is not authorized.
8. No excavated or fill material will be placed at anytime in any marsh or surrounding
waters outside of the alignment of the fill area indicated on the work plat(s).
9. The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a significant increase in
turbidity outside the area of construction or construction-related discharge. Increases
such that the turbidity in the waterbody is 25 NTUs or less are not considered
significant.
10. Prior to initiating any land-disturbing activity associated with the upgrading/shifting of
SR 1300, appropriate erosion and sedimentation control devices, measures, or
structures shall be used to prevent sediment from entering the adjacent wetlands and
watercourses outside the area of direct impact(e.g., silt fence, diversion swales/berms,
sand fence, etc.).
11. A permanent ground cover sufficient to restrain erosion shall be provided on all
exposed areas within the shorter of 15 working or 60 calendar days after project
completion.

`MEMORANDUM:
TO: John Parker
FROM: Kathy Vinson
SUBJECT: Consistency Determination, Major Permit Application, NC
DOT Bridge #3 , SR 1300 (Merrimon Road) , Back Creek,
Carteret County
DATE : September 11, 1995
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace
an existing timber bridge with a new cored slab concrete bridge and
raise the grade of the road approximately 18 inches . The project
site is located on SR 1300 near Merrimon on Back Creek in Carteret
County.
AECs impacted by the project include Public Trust Areas, Estuarine
Waters, the Estuarine Shoreline and Coastal Wetlands . Waters at the
site are classified as SA NSW and are closed to the harvesting of
shellfish. The area is a Primary Nursery Area.
I have reviewed this project for consistency with the 1991 Carteret
County Land Use Plan (LUP) , as amended September 24 , 1993 , and
offer the following comments .
The general area of the project is classified as Rural, while the
AECs impacted by the activity are classified as Conservation.
Applicable policies contained in the amended LUP include Resource
Production and Management Policies for Marine Resource Areas (Page
IV-11) . With certain exceptions, none of which appear to be
applicable to this project, Carteret County supports the use
standards for estuarine and public trust areas .
Economic and Community Development Policies regarding Commitment to
State and Federal Programs (Page IV-16) state that the County will
continue to fully support state and federal programs, particularly
those which provide improvements to the County. The LUP
specifically mentions the North Carolina Department of
Transportation road and bridge improvement programs . Full support
for these programs, which are very important to Carteret County, is
stated.
Pages V-2 and V-3 of the amended plan discuss the Coastal Wetlands
Conservation Classification. Except as prohibited in the policies
section of the plan, development allowed by the 7H Use Standards
will be allowed in areas identified by the NC Division of Coastal
Management as coastal wetlands . I can find no policy in the amended
LUP which would appear to prohibit this project .

I
The amended LUP does provide for some restrictions which exceed
state minimum standards for development in Primary Nursery Areas .
However, these policies involve construction of marinas, docks and
piers and are not applicable to this bridge replacement project .
Based on the above policies, this project appears to be Consistent
with the amended 1991 Carteret County Land Use Plan, provided all
state standards can be satisfied.

MEMORANDUM
To: Katy West
From: Louis Daniel 4V
Subject: CAMA/DREDGE AND FILL: NC DOT- Bridge #3, SR 1300
Date: 18 September 1995
The following comments by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NC
DMF) are provided pursuant to General Statute 113-131. The proposed bridge
replacement project on SR 1300 (Merrimon road) meets the approval of this agency
pursuant to the following, recommended changes.
The upper reaches of Back Creek are highly productive nursery areas for juvenile
finfish and shellfish (particularly shrimp) . The classification of the waters
at the project site as PNA and SA NSW cause particular concern due to the
magnitude of the area impacted (13,540 ft2) . First, to reduce the area impacted
by this project, the new bridge should be constructed at the site of the old
bridge, utilizing as much of the existing structure as possible. This is opposed
to shifting the road alignment 400' on each side of the bridge by 4-5' . Second,
the width of the creek must be maintained and not further encroached upon so as
not to impede water flow in this area. Good water flow is critical at this site
because of the its' location near Open Grounds Farm and the classification as
NSW. Finally, because this area is highly productive as nursery habitat, any
maintenance/construction activities should occur prior to or after the time of
maximum usage by juvenile life history stages of finfish and shellfish species
(April 1- Sr 1) .

FROM: David Cox, Highway Project Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
Date: October 5, 1995
Subject: CAMA/Dredge and Fill Permit Application for the replacement of Bridge No. 3,
on SR 1300 over Back Creek, Carteret County,North Carolina.
Staff biologists with the Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the project and
associated impacts on wildlife and fishery resources in the area. A site visit was made on
October 2, 1995. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et. seq.) and the Coastal
Area Management Act(G.S. 113A-100 through 113A-128).
The NCDOT is proposing to replace an existing timber bridge with a concrete bridge over
Back Creek. Activities, including prepping the approaches to the bridge and stabilization of
shoreline areas along existing canals, will result in the filling of about 8,400 ft of coastal
wetlands and estuarine waters. According to the permit application, the applicant has modified
the project proposal from it's original design and has greatly reduced adverse impacts to the area.
Best Management Practices are proposed to minimize adverse impacts resulting from project
related sedimentation. Back Creek is a tributary of the Neuse River and is classified as 'SA
NSW'. This section of the creek is designated as a Primary Nursery Area.
Our major concern is the potential adverse impacts to aquatic fauna resulting from
turbidity associated with the bridge replacement. Elevated turbidity reduces water quality and
stresses aquatic organisms. Excessive turbidity is particularly damaging to egg and larval life
stages of aquatic fauna. Therefore, we recommend no in-water work occur between April 1 and
September 30 to protect sensitive aquatic resources.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. If you have any concerns
about our comments, please contact Brad E. Hammers, District 2 Fisheries Biologist, at(919)

Dear Mr. Parker:
Reference the application of NC Department of Transportation for a
Department of the Army permit to replace an existing timber bridge with a
concrete slab bridge over Back Creek, on SR 1300, near Merritnpn, in Carteret
County, North Carolina. The proposed work will involve the excavation of
about 540 square feet of wetlands as a result of channel stabilization and
shifting of the existing road alignment.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented
by the application and your field investigation report.
We recommend that the following condition(s) be included in the State
authorization:
All work authorized by this permit must be performed in strict
compliance with the permit plans.
ti The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill
materials within waters or vegetated wetlands is not authorized.
The fill material will be clean and free of any pollutants except in
trace quantities. Metal products, organic materials, or unsightly debris will
not be used.
The permittee will maintain the authorized work in good condition and in
conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit.
The activity will be conducted in such a manner as to prevent a
significant increase in turbidity outside the area of construction or
construction-related discharge. Increases such that the turbidity in the
waterbody is 50 NTU's or less in all rivers not designated as trout waters by
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) , 25 NTU's or
less in all saltwater classes and in all lakes and reservoirs, and 10 NTU's or
less in trout waters, are not considered significant.
This Department of the Army permit does not obviate the need to obtain
c other Federal, State, or local authorizations required by law.

Dear Sirs:
On February 11, 1991, we renewed general permit No. 198000291 (copy
enclosed) , which provides Federal authorization for construction activities
that receive authorization from the State of North Carolina.
A review of your application received September 1, 1995, for Department
of the Army authorization to replace an existing timber bridge with a concrete
slab bridge over Back Creek, on SR 1300, near Merrimon, in Carteret County,
North Carolina, indicates it to be a candidate for Federal authorization under
this general permit. Accordingly, the administrative processing of your
application will be accomplished by the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management. Comments from Federal review agencies will be furnished to the
State.
If your application must be withdrawn from this general permit process
for any reason, you will be informed regarding its further management. If
there are no unresolved differences in State-Federal positions or policies,
the final action taken on your application by the State will result in your
receiving written notice from us that your application is consistent with the
general permit and you may commence your activity. Only after receiving such
confirmation should you begin work.
On February 6, 1990, the DA and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to
determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with the Clean
Water Act Section 404 (b) (1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding
impacts to waters and wetlands through the selection of the least damaging,
practical alternative; second, taking appropriate and practical steps to
minimize impacts on waters and wetlands; and finally, compensating for any
remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. To
enable us to process your application in full compliance with this MOA, we
request that you provide the following additional information:
a. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are
available only if the proposed work is the least environmentally damaging,
practicable alternative. Please furnish information regarding any other
alternatives, including upland alternatives, to the work for which you have
applied and provide justification that your selected plan is the least
damaging to water or wetland areas.
Pnnted on ai Recycled Paper

b. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practical
steps to minimize wetland losses. Please indicate all that you have done,
especially regarding development and modification of plans and proposed
construction techniques, to minimize adverse impacts.
c. The MOA requires that appropriate and practical mitigation will be
required for all unavoidable adverse impacts remaining after all appropriate
and practical minimization has been employed. Please indicate your plan to
mitigate for the projected, unavoidable loss of waters or wetlands or provide
information as to the absence of any such appropriate and practical measures.
This information is essential to our expeditious processing of your
application and it should be forwarded to us by October 5, 1995. Also, a copy
of this information must be sent to the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management to enable them to adequately evaluate your
application for a Water Quality Certification pursuant to Section 401 of the
Clean Water Act.
Your application, pursuant to Section 10 of the River and Harbor Act and
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, has been assigned Action ID No. 199505284
and will be coordinated by Mr. Jeff Richter in our Wilmington Field Office.
Mr. Richter may be contacted at telephone (910) 251-4636.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation, Division of Highways for Department of the Army authorization
and a State Water Quality Certification to replace an existing timber bridge
with a concrete slab bridge over Back Creek, on SR 1300, near Merrimon, in
Carteret County, North Carolina. The proposed work will involve the
excavation of about 540 square feet of wetlands and the filling of
approximately 8, 400 square feet of wetlands as a result of channel
stabilization and shifting of the existing road alignment. Your receipt of
this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in
accordance with Section 325.2 (b) (ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law.
A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification
has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State
action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by November 6, 1995, the District Engineer will deem that
waiver has occurred.
Should you have any questions or comments, please contact me at telephone
(910) 251-4636.
Sincerely,
Jeff Richter

Dear Mr. Franklin:
Subject: Carteret County, Replacement of Bridge No. 3 on SR 1300 over Back Creek, State
Project No. 5.1651. — --------------- —
The following correspondence is a response to your September 5, 1995 letter concerning the
above referenced project. The proposed action will include the demolition and replacement of bridge
No. 3 over Back Creek. The bridge will be replaced along the existing alignment and will not require a
temporary detour. The existing bridge is outdated and in need of repair. There is also an erosion problem
along the approach roads to this facility creating a safety hazard.
During the design of the project, measures were taken to avoid and minimize impacts to waters of
the US including wetlands. In addition, the proposed project will improve water quality and navigation
within the main channel. The elevation of the new structure will be slightly higher (6 inches) than the
existing bridge and will have fewer piers in the channel. The existing abutments will be retained if not
damaged during construction. In addition, the grade of the approach roads will be raised approximately
1_ i'._ bL, .to li i. as erosion problems. The increased side
t0 inches and 51:�11CilitG stabilization ii�.i.GJJaI} .l: 4a1sivai.�7,iv the ...v:s1v.: increased
slopes from this action will result in filling 0.13 acres of surface waters and 0.06 acres of tidal marsh
located adjacent to the roadway. The elimination of the erosion problems will improve water quality in
the area and the navigation within Back Creek will also be improved by constructing a higher bridge with
fewer piers in the channel.
The impacts to wetlands have also been reduced from the original proposal which required
excavation in 0.09 acres of tidal marsh to maintain the existing navigational channel adjacent to the
southern approach road. This proposal avoids these impacts by shifting the alignment of the approach
roads 4 to 5 feet to the west.

As a result of these avoidance, minimization and improvement measures (mitigation) it is our
opinion that compensatory mitigation is not required for the project. The NCDOT is requesting that the
proposed work be authorized under the COE general Permit Number SAWCO80-N-000-0291. If you
have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to call Scott P. Gottfried at
919-733-3141, Ext. 307.

Dear Mr. O'Quinn:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application
for State approval for development of your property located on SR 1300 (Merrimon Road) over
Back Creek (bridge #3) in Carteret County. It was received on August 23, 1995, and appears
to be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is
November 6, 1995. 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.
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.
Cordially yours,
