The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
has received your letter of August 5 , 1991 which transmitted
CAMA permit #112-91 . This permit specifically listed 12
conditions , which have been reviewed by NCDOT' s Highway
Design Branch and Planning and Environmental Branch . On
August 21 , 1991 , we provided comments on two of the specified
conditions . Since that time , it has become apparent that we
must request the revision of yet another condition .
The second condition specifies that no excavation or
filling will be allowed between February 15 and September 30
to protect juvenile fish populations . As you know, CAMA
permit conditions are included in the construction contract
for NCDOT projects . With the construction moratorium
presently stipulated, contractors bidding on this project
must assume that they will only be allowed to work on this
project for 4 1/2 months of the year. NCDOT feels that this
is an unreasonable construction period. In the environmental
document , NCDOT proposed to disallow construction between
March 1 and June 15 to protect the anadromous fish resource .
No objections were raised to this proposed moratorium by the
N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries , the National Marine
Fisheries Service, and the U. S . Fish and Wildlife Service ,
and it is quite feasible from a construction standpoint .
Consequently, NCDOT is proposing that condition #2 be revised
to restrict construction between March 1 and June 15 .

SUBJECT: US 17 Hertford By-pass Moratorium
DATE: 10 September 1991
The N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries continues to request a
dredging moratorium between February 15 and September 30 to
protect juvenile fish populations that utilize the Perquimans
River as a nursery area. This moratorium is necessary to ensure
the environmental integrity of the area is protected during
critical times of usage by blueback herring, alewife, striped
bass, spot, croaker, yellow perch, white perch and other
commercially and recreationally important species.
According to the letter you received from L. R. Goode, the
proposed NC DOT moratorium from March 1 through June 15 to protect
anadromous fish resources received no objection from DMF. This
is incorrect, see attached memos to Steve Benton, dated 10 July
and 15 October 1990 and Melba McGee, dated 12 December 1990. It
should also be noted at this time there was no proposed
excavation in the river.

DATE: 10 July 1990
The NC Division of Marine Fisheries expresses the following
concerns.
The importance of the Perquimans River and its tributaries
as spawning and nursery areas was pointed out in the 5 July 1989
memo. The environmental integrity of the area must be protected
during critical times of usage.
In the FONSI , there is no mention of a loading/off-loading
facility or access channel being needed for the bridge
construction. Is this proposed; would dredging be required?
This agency requests a moratorium 15 February through 30
June in relation to the installation of the box culverts in
Raccoon Creek and Bear. Swamp. This creek has been documented to
serve as a spawning area for alewife and blueback herring. The
moratorium will ensure protection of these species during
critical times of usage. If excavation is to occur in the river
the moratorium would be 15 February through 30 September . This
extension should provide protection for the various juvenile
species utilizing the area as a nursery ground.

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: Perquimans County, Dualization of the Perquimans
River bridge on the US 17 Hertford Bypass , State
Project 6. 129001T, T. I .A . R-2208B.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
has received your letter of August 5 , 1991 which transmitted
CAMA permit #112-91 . This permit specifically listed 12
conditions, which have been reviewed by NCDOT' s Highway
Design Branch and Planning and Environmental Branch. The
purpose of this letter is to transmit the results of our
internal review of the permit conditions .
The first condition specifies that a mitigation plan
needs to be developed for anticipated impacts to submerged
aquatic vegetation (SAV) . NCDOT shares your Department ' s
concern over this potential environmental impact, and we are
attempting to include this issue in our environmental
coordination process . However, it is not possible for us to
adequately anticipate environmental impacts or prepare
mitigation measures for an issue when we receive no guidance
on that issue. CAMA Permit #112-91 contains the first
mention of the SAv issue in the history of this project .
The environmental coordination for this project
culminated in the approval of the State Environmental
Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact , which was
completed May 24, 1990. The preparation of this document

involved coordination with the State Division of Marine
Fisheries, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) . NCDOT has never
received any notice from these agencies that SAV impacts were
anticipated for this project. AS a result of this
coordination, NCDOT has logically assumed that SAV impacts
were not a major issue on this particular project .
We have consulted with the NMFS and USFWS on the SAV
issue for other NCDOT projects . it is apparent from these
discussions that previous attempts to create SAV beds as
mitigation have been unsuccessful . Although the proposed
project may have SAV impacts, NCDOT' s position is that at
this time we cannot offer an SAV mitigation plan that will
have much probability of success . we are therefore
requesting that Condition #i be removed from CAMA Permit
#112-91 .
we have also detected a minor problem with condition #3 .
As stated in the permit, this condition specifies that the
excavation will not exceed 6 feet below the elevation of
normal water. However, the permit application and project
plans show that the bottom of the proposed channel will be at
elevation -6 .0 feet . Since the elevation of normal water is
at +0 . 7 feet, the limit of the proposed excavation will
occur 6 . 7 feet below normal water, thereby violating the
permit as currently worded. Consequently, we request that
Condition #3 be reworded to correct this minor discrepancy.
As you are aware, this project has been seriously
delayed during the coordination of this permit . Your prompt
attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. If you have
any questions , please contact Gordon Cashin at ( 919) 733-

Dear Dr. Goode:
The Division of Coastal Management has received your letters
dated August 21 and September 10, 1991, requesting that we
reconsider certain conditions placed on CAMA Permit #112-91 for
replacing the Perquimans River Bridge. I will address each of
the conditions in question separately.
- Condition #3 specifies that depth of excavation not exceed 6
feet below the elevation of normal water. You have
requested that it be reworded to allow depths to be 6.7 feet
below normal water. We agree with your reasoning and you
may consider this letter a refinement to Permit #112-91 to
allow the 6.7 feet of excavation below normal water.
- Condition #2 restricts excavation and filling between
February 15 and September 30. You are requesting that the
period be amended to say that no construction may occur
between March 1 and June 15. The moratorium period on the
permit came as a recommendation from the North Carolina
Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) to protect spawning and
juvenile fish known to be using the area during that period.
Although time periods vary from location to location, this
is a standard condition for projects requiring excavation.
Since the condition originated with DMF, we asked them to
consider your request and respond. They notified us in a
memo dated September 10, 1991 that they continue to support
the moratorium period specified on the permit. Therefore,
Condition #2 must remain on the permit. You may want to
contact Mr. Harrell Johnson, District Manager, DMF, directly
if further negotiations on this issue are necessary.

Condition #1 requires that a Mitigation Plan be prepared for
replacing submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) to be impacted
by the project. Mitigation for these types of resource
impacts is becoming standard procedures on permits for both
private and public projects. Such a requirement is
supported by rules of the Coastal Resources Commission and
policies of various State and Federal resource agencies. We
asked the principal agency, National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) , to reconsider their recommendation for the
Plan. They and the Corps of Engineers have advised us that
they cannot agree with removing the condition. Therefore,
Condition #1 must remain a part of the permit.
You raised the issue of SAV impacts not being identified during
earlier project review and preparation of the Environmental
Assessment. My staff has re-reviewed that document and found
that there was no description or mention of a proposal to
excavate a construction channel. Therefore, there was no need to
evaluate any impact except those caused by the bridge itself. If
the channel had been proposed in the document, we would have
either surveyed the area ourselves, or, asked that your agency
provide the resource information. In fact, our comments on the
document raised the question of whether or not a channel would be
needed. It is difficult for us to coordinate with your agency on
projects if the required environmental documents do not
completely describe the project.
I understand that there is potential for resolving the mitigation
issue by coordinating the requirements on this project with those
of the Currituck Sound Bridge project. My Elizabeth City staff
and I recently met with your staff and NMFS representatives to
discuss the mitigation requirements of the Currituck site. Since
similar resources are being replaced, the two projects can
perhaps be coordinated in such a way as to avoid your having to
attempt a project that may not be successful. We are willing to
continue to work with your staff in that regard.
I hope that these comments adequately respond to your request.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further
questions.
Sincerely,

The NC Division of Marine Fisheries expresses the following
concerns .
The importance of the Perquimans River and its tributaries
as spawning and nursery areas was pointed out in the 5 July 1989
memo. The environmental integrity of the area must be protected
during critical times of usage.
In the FONSI , there is no mention of a loading/off-loading
facility or access channel. being needed for the bridge
construction. Is this proposed; would dredging be required?
This agency requests a moratorium 15 February through 30
June in relation to the installation of the box culverts in
Raccoon Creek and Bear. Swamp. This creek has been documented to
serve as a spawning area for alewife and blueback herring. The
moratorium will ensure protection of these species during
critical times of usage. If excavation is to occur in the river
the moratorium would be 15 February through 30 September. This
extension should provide protection for the various juvenile
species utilizing the area as a nursery ground.

The NC Division of Marine Fisheries wishes to continue to
express concern with the proposed DOT moratorium (March 1 - June
1.5) on construction activities. As stated in previous
correspondence, the Perquimans River, Raccoon Creek and Bear.
Swamp area function as spawning and nursery areas for blueback
herring, alewife and other commercially and recreationally
important species. Alewife have been documented to spawn during
February depending on water temperatures. The division requested
moratorium of 15 February through 30 Juno will ensure the
protection of these species during critical times of usage. This

Dear sir:
SUBJECT: Perquimans County, Dualization of the Perquimans
River bridge on the US 17 Hertford Bypass , State
Project 6 . 129001T, T.I . P . R-2208B .
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
has received your letter of August 5 , 1991 which transmitted
CAMA permit #112-91 . This permit specifically listed 12
conditions, which have been reviewed by NCDOT' s Highway
Design Branch and Planning and Environmental Branch . The
purpose of this letter is to transmit the results of our
internal review of the permit conditions .
The first condition specifies that a mitigation plan
needs to be developed for anticipated impacts to submerged
aquatic vegetation (SAV) . NCDOT shares your Department ' s
concern over this potential environmental impact, and we are
attempting to include this issue in our environmental
coordination process. However, it is not possible for us to
adequately anticipate environmental impacts or prepare
mitigation measures for an issue when we receive no guidance
on that issue . CAMA Permit #112-91 contains the first
mention of the SAV issue in the history of this project.
The environmental coordination for this project
culminated in the approval of the State Environmental
Assessment/Finding of No significant Impact, which was
completed May 24 , 1990 . The preparation of this document

involved coordination with the State Division of Marine
Fisheries, the U. S . Fish and Wildlife Service and the
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) . NCDOT has never
received any notice from these agencies that SAV impacts were
anticipated for this project. As a result of this
coordination, NCDOT has logically assumed that SAV impacts
were not a major issue on this particular project.
We have consulted with the NMFS and USFWS on the SAV
issue for other NCDOT projects . it is apparent from these
discussions that previous attempts to create SAV beds as
mitigation have been unsuccessful . Although the proposed
project may have SAV impacts, NCDOT' s position is that at
this time we cannot offer an SAV mitigation plan that will
have much probability of success . We are therefore
requesting that Condition #1 be removed from CAMA Permit
#112-91 .
we have also detected a minor problem with Condition #3 .
As stated in the permit, this condition specifies that the
excavation will not exceed 6 feet below the elevation of
normal water. However, the permit application and project
plans show that the bottom of the proposed channel will be at
elevation -6 .0 feat. since the elevation of normal water is
at +0 . 7 feet, the limit of the proposed excavation will
occur 6 . 7 feet below normal water, thereby violating the
permit as currently worded. Consequently, we request that
Condition #3 be reworded to correct this minor discrepancy.
As you are aware, this project has been seriously
delayed during the coordination of this permit. Your prompt
attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. If you have
any questions, please Contact Gordon Cashin at (919) 733-

Dear Dr. Goode:
We have received and reviewed your letter dated August 21,
1991 regarding the conditions on CAMP► permit #112-91 .
Your desire to remove condition number one which requires
that a mitigation plan be developed for impacts to submerged
aquatic vegetation is understandable. However, submerged aquatic
vegetation does exist in the Hof the proposed work channel for (

By contact from your staff (Cindy Bell) we have been invited
to attend a meeting with NMFS on September 9 , 1991 at 2 : 00 pm to
discuss mitigation requirements for impacts to submerged aquatic

Regarding the second point of concern in your letter, we
agree with your conclusion regarding the minor discrepancy in the
permitted depth of channel excavation. We have revised condition

River.

NC DOT - Perquimans River Bridge
Bio Report

Site Description
The applicant, NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) ,
proposes upgrading the existing two lane, US Highway 17, roadway
to four-lanes in the vicinity of Hertford, Perquimans County.
The proposed project will necessitate the construction of a new
2 ,•900 ft. bridge beside the existing Perquimans bridge to handle
the additional new lanes.
The proposed project will be built within the existing state
right-of-way on the east side of US 17 . The soils within the
project area are: Tomotley fine sandy loam, Dorovan muck and old
road fill . On the south bank the road project will be build on
old fill . Vegetation in this area consists of black medick
(Medicago lupulina) , tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) , bracted
planton (Plantaqo aristata) , and broomsedge (Andropogon
virginicus) . Approximately 5, 200 sq. ft. of common reed
(Phragmites australis) growing in a Dorovan muck soil forms a
fringe along the south bank. Bordering the proposed road project
along the eastern edge of the state's right-of-way is an
extensive bottomland hardwood forest. Dominant vegetation
includes red maple (Acer rubrum) , black willow (Salix nigra) ,
yellow poplar (Liri.odendron tulipifera) , bald cypress (Taxodium
distichum) and wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera) . A few bald cypress
trees are found within the nearshore area. There is no evidence
of either Osprey or eagle nesting activity within the area. No
submerged aquatic or emergent aquatic vegetation is found along
the southside with the exception of the aforementioned common
reed.
The north shore rises 3 to 10 ft. above the NWL level of the
Perquimans River. No fringe wetlands are found along this
portion of the project area. A few bald cypress, black willow,
and wax myrtles dot the shoreline. This shoreline is protected
with riprap and asphalt. No submerged aquatic vegetation exists
near the north shore. Landward of the shoreline is an area of
old road fill within the highway easement and a farmed terrace
consisting of Tomotley fine sandy loam elevated approximately 10
feet above NWL. Vegetation consists primarily of tall fescue and
Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) within the non-farmed areas.
The proposed project is within CAMA's estuarine system AEC.
NC Department of Environmental Management classifies these waters
as SB. Navigation charts indicate the maximum depth of the
Perquimans River to be 9 feet within the project area.
Construction will require the placement of 65 cubic yards of
fill within an area of shallow water 105 ft. x 23 ft. along the
north shore. Riprap consisting of #2 stone will be used to
protect the filled area from erosion. Fill will not be placed
within any wetlands or shallow water habitat on the southside.

NC DOT - Perquimans River Bridge
Bio Report
Page Three
NCDOT wishes to dredge an access channel 1350 ft. x 100 ft. to a
depth of 6 ft. underneath the proposed bridge to facilitate
construction. Dredging will be done by hydraulic dredge. An
estimated 19 , 800 cubic yards of spoil will be removed. Spoil
will be contained within a dike on the highground terrace, thirty
feet from the NWL along the north shore. The dike walls will be
44 ft. wide at the base and 12 ft. high. An outfall pipe, riser
and flash boards will be installed to handle excess water. The
dike is designed to handle 18 . 4 acre feet of spoil within an area
of 147, 084 sq. ft. (3 . 37 acres) .
The proposed bridge will be 27 ft. wide and will rise 35 ft.
above the mean low water level at its highest point. The
existing bridge fenders will be extended under and beyond the
proposed bridge at the site of the established navigation
channel . There will be a 55 ft. horizontal clearance between the
fenders.
Anticipated Impacts
A dredging project of this magnitude will create
considerable temporary turbidity. The resulting channel should
not create any permanent water quality problems. No aquatic
vegetation will be destroyed with the possible exception of some
common reeds along the south shore. A few wax myrtle and black
willows will be destroyed along the north bank. Likewise,
several bald cypress will be removed on both shorelines. An area
approximately . 25 acres in size will be disturbed within 75 ft.
of the Perquimans River. There appears to be an underground
utility cable within the project area which may have to be
relocated. Eroding fill material will be contained by silt
fences until the area is stabilized with vegetation.
The existing highway right-of-way abuts significant fresh
water wetlands which in turn are adjacent to the Perquimans River
estuarine shoreline. The proposed road expansion and fill may
encroach this area by as much as 35 ft. along the entire length
of the highway expansion project south of the Perquimans River.
CAMA Review
According to the applicant they have conducted an
archeological survey of the project area. The applicant does not
indicate whether any historical/archeological sites of
significance were discovered. According to state archives, a
possible significant site exists along the north bank of the
Perquimans River east of the project area. No sites are
identified within the project area.

The Perquimans LUP classifies this area as transition with
the exception of the area of regulated wetlands which is
classified as conservation.
The stated purpose of the transition class is "to provide
for future intensive urban development on lands that are suitable
and that will be provided with necessary urban services" . Under
the conservation land class, the County calls for "effective
long-term management and protection" . The plan states "all land
uses that can be permitted under the existing regulation of the
various state, federal and local government agencies with
jurisdiction are allowed in the conservation district" . This
statement is the standard for land use plan consistency.

Dear Dr. Goode:
Please reference our earlier letter to you dated November
16, 1990 regarding your application for a CAMA permit to
construct an additional bridge spanning the Perquimans River in
Perquimans County. This letter requested additional information
necessary to process your application. One of the requested
items involved the location, dimension and details of the spoil
site required for the proposed channel to be excavated by
hydraulic dredge.
We have received your letter dated January 8, 1991 and
corrected application for a CAMA permit for the Perquimans River
Bridge. All additional items requested have been completed
except for the spoil site information. North Carolina general
statutes 113-229 (pertaining to permits to dredge or fill in or
about estuarine waters or state-owned lakes) indicates that " (b)
All applications for such permits shall include a plat of the
areas in which the proposed work will take place, indicating the
location, width, depth and length of any proposed channel , the
disposal area, and a copy of the deed or other instrument under
which the applicant claims title to the property adjoining the
waters in question, (or any land covered by waters) , tidelands,
or marshlands, or if the applicant is not the owner, then a copy
of the deed or other instrument under which the owner claims
title plus written permission from the owner to carry out the
project on his land" . Further the Coastal Resources Commission's
regulations contained in Title 15A of the North Carolina
Administrative Code, Subchapter 7J . 0203 (a) (1) require that
planview plats must show excavated areas and fill areas.

Dr. L. R. Goode, Director
January 24 , 1991
Page 2
Because of the above requirements and because of the
limited, acceptable spoil disposal areas, we are continuing to
require that the location, dimensions and construction details of
the spoil disposal area be disclosed on the planview plats for
the proposed project. We are returning your application so that
this information may be added to your application. As soon as
this information is added to your application and we receive your
application, we will begin processing your request for a CAMA
permit for construction of an additional bridge over the
Perquimans River in Perquimans County.
Should you have questions and/or comments regarding this
matter, feel free to contact this office.
Sincerely,
