DATE: 3 November 1992
SUBJECT: Major CAMA Permit No. 109-92 Issued to NCDOT for Replacement of Bridge No.
73 on SR 1518 in Bertie County
I have reviewed the 26 October letter from Barney O'Quinn addressing the
aforementioned permit and in particular Conditions No. 1 and 2. We had nothing to do
with Condition No. 1 or No. 2 but do concur with Ted Tyndall's onsite comments in
reference to Condition No. 1. I contacted Sara Winslow with regards to Condition No.
2 and discussed this project. She explained the Division of Marine Fisheries has
documented anadromous usage of the downstream reaches of this creek but they did not
have a documented use in the area of the bridge. Furthermore, she said she questioned
potential use by anadromous fish in the area of the referenced bridge because of
existing constrictions and the size of the waterbody. Therefore with her clarification
of documented usage in this area and in the absence of any other supporting comment or
recommendation from another review agency, I suggest we drop these conditions from the
permit.
This is a secondary dirt road and any navigation of the stream could only be in
a craft of a size that could be portaged at the site of the crossing.

ATTENTION: Mr. John Parker
Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: Bertie County, Proposed Replacement of Bridge 73
on SR 1518 .
On July 9 , 1992 , The North Carolina Department of
Transportation applied for a Coastal Area Management Act
(CAMA) permit to replace bridge 73 over an unnamed
tributary to the Roanoke River on SR 1518 in Bertie County.
The proposed action involved replacing the existing timber
frame bridge structure with two (2 ) 103" x 71" corrugated
steel pipe arches (C.S .P.A) . The replacement is proposed
to take place on existing alignment, with no detour through
existing wetlands planned. The dirt roadways leading to
the paved approaches on either side of the bridge are not
to be paved.
On July 1, 1992 , a permit coordination meeting at the
bridge site was held between Mr. Doug Huggett of NCDOT' s
Environmental Unit and Mr. Ted Tyndall of DCM' s Washington
field office. At this meeting, Mr. Huggett stated that
because of the small quantity of wetland habitat to be
impacted and the /lack of any practicable on-site mitigation

option, NCDOT was not going to propose any active
mitigation proposal to compensate for 0 . 03 acres of
herbaceous wetland habitat loss . Mr. Tyndall did not
disagree with this statement. Therefore, the permit
application made no mention of a mitigation plan to
compensate for wetland habitat loss . Mr. Tyndall raised no
objections to the project as proposed, but did ask for silt
fences above and below the bridge site during construction.
This request was agreed to and the silt fence provisions
included in our permit application.
The CAMA permit for this project, issued by your
office on October 13, 1992, included a condition (condition
#1) that stated "The permittee must provide for "in-kind"
and "on-site" replacement of wetlands impacted by this
project. A wetlands replacement plan shall be formulated
by the permittee and approved by the DCM in consultation
with the WRC before constriction begins . " NCDOT disagrees
with this condition based on the small acreage impacted the
unavailability of practicable on-site mitigation options .
We do not believe that suitable on-site mitigation options
are available .
Permit condition #2 also presents a problem to the
Department. This condition states that "In order to
prevent alterations to movement patterns of aquatic
wildlife, the width and height (total under-bridge opening)
of the culverts will be equal to or greater than existing
conditions . " This condition is in conflict with the design
presented in our permit application package (see sheet 2 of
2 ) . In order to meet this condition, the crossing will
need to be redesigned to make use of a spanning structure,
effectively invalidating our original permit application
for a crossing using culverts .
We are returning the unsigned permit due to the issues
stated above. We are requesting that you reconsider these
two conditions . It should also be noted that better lines
of communication could have helped avoid this situation.
We closely coordinated this application with DCM field
representatives, and we had no indication that these
conditions were forthcoming. If the Department was made
aware of these concerns at an earlier date, an acceptable
solution may have been reached prior to the issuance of the
permit.

MEMORANDUM
TO: ed Tyndall
FRO John Crew
DATE: 12 August 1992
SUBJECT: Bridge Replacement: SR 1518, Bertie County
This proposal is to replace an existing bridge with corregated steel pipe arches and
comes under the auspices of the March 1991 CRC Certified Land Use Plan Update.
The Plan contains some general guidance on proposals of this nature.
The policy section dealing with AEC's and wetlands, pages 29 thru 30 is as follows:
"In terms of developing policies, the Estuarine System AECs, which include
Estuarine Waters and Estuarine Shorelines, and Public Trust Areas, will be
treated as one uniform grouping since they are so closely interrelated. Another
reason for grouping these AECs together is the fact that the effective use of
maps to detail exact on-ground location of a particular area sometimes poses
serious limitations.
Bertie County's overall policy and management objective for the Estuarine
System is to give the highest priority to their protection and perpetuate their
biological, social, economic, and aesthetic values, and to ensure that
development occurring within these AECs is compatible with natural
characteristics so as to minimize the likelihood of significant loss of private
property and public resources. In accordance with this overall objective, Bertie
County encourages those land uses which conform to the general use standards of
the North Carolina Administrative Code (15 NCAC 7H) for development within the
Estuarine System. As the County Commissioners adopt land use controls, uses
which are not water dependent would require approval . Specifically, each use
permitted in the Estuarine System is discussed below.
a. Estuarine Waters and Estuarine Shorelines
Bertie County officials are very much aware that protection of
the estuarine waters and adjacent estuarine shorelines is of
paramount importance to fishing, both commercially and for
recreation. Bertie County recognized that certain actions within
the estuarine shoreline, which is defined as the area extending 75
feet landward of the mean high water line of the estuarine waters,
could possibly have a substantial effect upon the quality of these
waters.

MEMORANDUM
12 August 1992
Page 2
In order to promote the quality of the estuarine waters,
Bertie County officials will consider land use controls which
protect the values of the estuarine system. Residential,
recreational, and commercial uses would also be controlled within
the estuarine shoreline, provided that:
• A significant change of pollution occurring from the
development does not exit;
• Development does not have a significant adverse impact on
estuarine resources;
• Development does not significantly interfere with existing
public rights or access to, or use of, navigable waters or
public resources.
b. Public Trust Waters
Bertie County recognizes that the public has certain
established rights to certain water areas, and that these public
areas also support commercial, recreational and aesthetic values.
Bertie County will continue to promote reasonable conservation and
management practices of Public Trust Waters. Appropriate uses
include those which protect public rights for navigation and
recreation. Projects which would directly block or impair existing
navigation channels, increase shoreline erosion, deposit spoils
below mean high tide, cause adverse water circulation patterns,
violate water quality standards, or cause degradation of shellfish
waters shall be discouraged. Encouraged uses shall be those which
do not cause an unreasonable detriment to the physical or biological
functions of Public Trust Waters. Such uses as navigational
channels, drainage ditches, bulkheads to prevent erosion, piers,
docks, marinas and bridges will be encouraged.
Outstanding Resource Waters have not been identified in Bertie County. No
policies have been adopted for this issue.
3. Hazardous and Fragile Land Areas
a. Wetlands
Soil and Water Conservation has designated several areas
in Bertie County as wetlands. County officials realize the
importance of freshwater swamps, marshes, and pocosins to the
natural environment and support this designation. Many kinds
of wildlife would be lost if this habitat was drastically
altered. The wetlands future is based on maintaining existing
drainage patterns.
Bertie County supports the wetlands program by
discouraging land uses that will alter the natural drainage
pattern and vegetation. Farming and forestry that does not
change the drainage pattern would be supported.

.
MEMORANDUM
12 August 1992
Page 3
Bertie County supports the CAMP, program and the US Corps
of Engineers 404 program which has jurisdiction on regulating
development in designated freshwater swamp areas. The County
will encourage landowners to establish or maintain vegetative
buffers around sensitive wetlands and water bodies.
Development in coastal wetlands is regulated by the
local and State CANA Permit Officers. Other wetlands (i.e. ,
404 wetlands) are regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. Bertie County policy is to continue support of
these regulations in an effort to protect this sensitive
natural environment.
The Economic and Community Development Policy Section includes the following:
Page 36 5. Commitment to State and Federal programs in the County
. . . "Highway improvements, as stated earlier, are
considered a major factor in ensuring the continued
economic growth of the area. Bertie County will
continue efforts to secure DOT funds to improve the
county's major and minor thoroughfares."
The Land Classification Map, page 62, shows the site to appear to be in the
Conservation Land Class. (Map scale makes precise delineation difficult. ) This class
is designed to illustrate natural resources present to the extent development proposals
should be reviewed carefully. Revealing language concerning specific county intent for
the conservation class is on page 48 of the Plan as follows:
"Examples of permitted uses in the Conservation classification include:
• Drainage: adequate drainage is essential to the economic vitality
of Bertie County; therefore, drainage facilities over and through
these areas, but not with the intent of draining the conservation
areas will be allowed. Such facilities may include diking, tiling,
and piping systems.
• Low density residential development if and as approved by the County
Health Department and local, State, and Federal regulations.
However, water and/or sewer services will not be extended to such a
residential area merely to stimulate additional growth and
development. One-site sewer services will be required and must be
feasible. Site plans should be reviewed to insure that, at a
minimum, regulations on impervious materials are met.
• Water-oriented uses such as piers, docks, and marinas, if they are
shown not to cause detriment to the estuarine waters or the
conservation lands.

•
MEMORANDUM
12 August 1992
Page 4
• Necessary utility service lines, such as water, sewer, electrical,
natural gas, etc. , may be transmitted through areas classed as
conservation. These lines would have a destination outside of areas
classed conservation and would serve only areas outside the
conservation class and would not act as a stimulus to development
within the conservation class. These transmission lines shall not
violate the environmental integrity of the conservation class, and
if permitted, must meet all applicable Federal, State, and local
regulations.
• Roadways, when construction of roadways can be conducted without
significantly altering the ecological system, and in compliance with
existing Federal, State, and local regulations.
• Timber harvesting and farming, provided natural drainage patterns
are not changed. "
The conservation classification includes the 100-year flood boundary as
defined by the Federal Flood Insurance Program, Public Trust Waters, Estuarine Waters
and Estuarine Shorelines. As noted on the Land Classification Map, conservation areas
are shown for general use only and final determination of location shall be made by the
responsible Federal, State, or local agency having regulatory authority. Such
determination shall be made based on a field investigation of any area in question.
The land would fall under the rural classification or the limited transition
classification if the field investigation shows that it should not be in conservation. "
Conclusion and Opinion: Taken on balance I believe that if this proposal can be
completed in accordance with applicable State and Federal environmental regulations
that it is not inconsistent with the spirit and intent of the Bertie County Land Use
Plan.

The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your
application for state approval for replacement of the Bridge No. 73, in Bertie County.
It was received on 16 July 1992 and appears to be adequate for processing at this time.
The projected deadline for making a decision is 29 September 1992. An additional 75-
day review period is provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the
review. If you have not been notified of a final action by the initial deadline stated
above, you should consider the review period extended. Under those circumstances, this
letter will also serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an additional
letter will be provided on or about the 75th day. Should there be any questions on
this procedural change, do not hesitate to contact me.
N.C.G.S. 113A-119(b) requires that Notice of an application be posted at the
location of the proposed development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit
Filing" postcard which must be posted at the property of your proposed development.
You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your property where it can be
observed from a public road. Some examples would be: nailing the notice card to a
telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-way fronting your property, or at a
point along the road right-of-way where a private road would lead one into your
property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.
An onsite inspection will be made and if additional information is required, you
will be contacted by the appropriate state or federal agency. Please contact me if you
have any questions and notify me in writing if you wish to receive a copy of my field
report and/or comments from reviewing agencies.

Bridge No. 73
Bertie County
Project Setting
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposed bridge
replacement site (No. 73) is located on SR 1518 approximately 1.3 miles east of
SR 1521 at the crossing of an unnamed tributary to the Roanoke River in Bertie
County, North Carolina. The bridge is bordered on both sides by wooded swamp.
The canopy of the adjacent area is co-dominated by bald cypress Taxodium
distichum and sweet gum Liquidambar styraciflua. Prevalent shrubs include
sweetgum and red maple Acer rubrum. Herbaceous species include greenbriar Smilax
rotundifolia, royal fern Osmunda regalis, chain fern Woodwardia areolata, and
various grasses. The site is approximately 9' above mean sea level. This small
tributary is classified C by the Environmental Management Commission.
Project Description
NCDOT proposes to replace the bridge with two (2) 103" by 71" corrugated steel
pipe arches (C.S.P.A. ) . An area approximately 50' by 40' will be excavated to
3 feet below ordinary high water, the pipes placed into position, and the area
around the pipes filled. Concrete bulkheading is proposed in order to retain the
fill. Approximately 1000 ft2 of swamp and 1000 ft2 of creek bottom will be
filled during the project. Spoil material will be transported to an undetermined
approved upland site.
Anticipated Impacts
The project as proposed would result in the loss of approximately 1000 ft2 of
swamp and 1000 ft2 of creek bottom. Localized turbidity would occur as a result
of mucking out and filling activities. Silt fences are proposed to minimize the
impact of sedimentation. The replacement of the existing bridge with the two
C.S.P.A. would impact navigation (although already limited due to size of the
creek) upstream of the crossing. Approximately 0.03 acres of wetland habitat
would be lost.

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: Bertie County, Proposed Replacement of Bridge 73 on
SR 1518 .
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes
to replace bridge 73 over a unnamed tributary to the Roanoke
River on SR 1518 in Bertie County. The proposed action will
involve replacing the existing timber frame bridge structure
with two (2 ) 103" x 71" corrugated steel pipe arches
(C. S .P .A) . The replacement of Bridge 73 is necessitated by
concerns over the structural integrity of the existing
bridge . This bridge replacement will take place on existing
alignment, and no detour through existing wetlands is
proposed. The proposed action calls for removing the
existing bridge, excavating to approximately 3 feet below
ordinary high water, placing the two pipes in position,
filling in the area around the pipes, and grading and paving
the new crossing. NCDOT is not proposing to pave any of the
dirt roadways leading to the paved approaches on either side
of the bridge.
The proposed activity will lead to a loss of
approximately 0 . 03 acres of wetland habitat. Representative
species in the area include royal fern, chain fern,
greenbriar, sweetgum and cypress . Best management practices
will be implemented to attempt to minimize the amount of
wetlands impacted. As was discussed with Mr. Ted Tyndall of
your Washington field office during a July 1 , 1992 site
visit, silt fences will be placed both above and below the
construction site to limit sedimentation impacts .

NCDOT is requesting that the proposed work be authorized
under the appropriate Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA)
permit . By copy of this letter, we are also requesting
issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification from the N.C.
Division of Environmental Management and a Section 404 Permit
from the Army Corps of Engineers . Included for your
information is a permit application and permit drawings ( 2
pages ) . A processing fee of $250 will be forwarded to your
office within the next week. If we may be of further
assistance, or if you require any additional information,
please contact Doug Huggett at ( 919 ) 733-9770 .
