JUL 1 0 2001 June 29, 2001 PAGE 2 COASTAL MANAGEMENT 8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is the N.C. Department of Transportation. The proposal is to replace the degraded timber bridge with 3 corrugated aluminum structural plate pipe arches with head walls and wing walls. This will allow 8 foot shoulders that comply with State Highway standards for secondary roads. 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The site of this proposal is State Road 1722, at the crossing of North Creek, in the community of Ransomville, Beaufort County, NC. The road is approximately 3 feet above NWL. The general purpose of the project is to replace the deteriorating timber bridge with culverts, to allow for a 22 foot pavement width and 8 foot shoulder width. The bridged crossing at North Creek is flanked with wooded Pine/Gum swamp wetlands, coastal wetlands, pasture and residential land. This area is primarily residential, agricultural and undeveloped wooded swamp and forest. The site consists of a 20' wide creek downstream of the crossing. The creek widens adjacent to the bridge to 25' at the south side and 31' at the north side. At the north side of the bridge (upstream), the creek branches to the main stream (15'), a smaller steam (8') and a ditch. The coastal wetland consists of Spartina cynosuroides, Scirpus spp. and Cladium jamaicense. The adjacent uplands are pastuelands, agricultural fields, residential land and forested, and are vegetated primarily with various elm, pines, cedar, gum, grasses and wheat. North Creek is Joint waters at the project site, and is classified SA HQW NSW between the Pamlico River and SR 1722 and classified C Sw NSW between SR 1722 and its headwaters by the Division of Water Quality and subject to the Tar-Pamlico River Buffer Rules. The area is closed to shellfishing,.and is designated as primary nursery area by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries. The Beaufort County Land Use Plan designates the project area as Rural with Services , with all areas lying within CAMA Areas of Environmental Concern, designated as Conservation. The proposal is to replace the existing 30 feet wide by 35 feet long timber bridge with three 9'7" wide x 6'6" tall x 49'6" long corrugated aluminum structural plate pipe arch's (culverts) on the existing alignment. The addition20 foot width will allow for 8 foot road shoulders as required for State Highway standards. The ends of the culverts will be stabilized with headwalls and wingwalls to eliminate the need for slopes extending into coastal shoreline, esturine waters, public trust waters, 404 type wetlands and coastal wetlands. The approaching roadway will be unchanged. Best Management Practices will be used to minimize erosion and sedimentation. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT NC DOT - SR 1722, Beaufort Co. June 29, 2001 PAGE 3 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: As proposed, the replacement of the existing bridge with three culverts will result in the following impacts: Approximately 124 square feet of 404 type wetlands will be filled by road shoulder, and 1750 square feet of shallow bottom will be filled by culverts and fill surrounding the culverts. Approximately 96 square feet of high ground will be graded, filled or excavated for the roadway and paving. There is a high probability of turbidity to be expected during the replacement of the culverts. Stringent sedimentation/erosion control measures can minimize this. The NC DOT has reduced their original proposal to install 70 foot culverts with sloped road shoulders to the shorter 49'6" culverts with head and wing walls in order to avoid the impact of an additional 800 sqare feet of impacts to shallow bottom, esturine waters , 404 type wetlands and coastal shoreline. Principally local residents use state Road 1722. The replacement of the bridge with culverts and 8 foot road shoulders will upgrade the crossing to improve safety of traffic movement and have the comply with State safety standards for secondary roads. North Creek is a Primary Nursery Area and may be impacted by this project. The collective disturbance area for the project is 0.045 acres.

The project consists of replacing the existing bridge with 3 culverts. The pavement width will remain the same and the shoulders will be widened just enough for compliance with Federal and State Highway Standards. Relatively small areas of 404 wetlands, and shallow bottom will be filled at the North Creek crossing. The impacts from this project would be considered minimal by the Division of Coastal Management and would qualify for a General Permit except that North Creek is Primary Nursery Area. The NC DOT has done a commendable job minimizing the impacts from their original proposal to install 70-foot culverts with 8-foot shoulders and 8 to 10 foot slopes with riprap. North Creek is joint waters. Comments from the agencies regulating these waters (as it pertains to PNA's) will determine my recommendation. The project is well designed with minimization of impacts. Without strong objections from fishery agencies, I would recommend the project be approved contingent upon the following conditions: 1) The temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill materials within waters or vegetated wetlands is not authorized. 2), No excavated or fill material will be placed at any time, in any marsh or surrounding waters, \� outside of the alignment of the fill area indicated on the work plats. 3) All excavated 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 spillover of solids into any marsh or surrounding waters. u4) The roadway fill material will be clean and free of any pollutants, except in trace quantities. 5) In order to protect water quality, runoff from the construction must not visibly increase the 1/ amount of suspended sediments in adjacent waters.

After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3274 which can be downloaded from our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands . This Certification allows you to use your CAMA Permit when it is issued by the NC Division of Coastal Management. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying CAMA Permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your. project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the.. property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611- 7447.

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 proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along the roadway where it can be observed from the road. An example would be: nailing the notice card to a telephone pole or tree along the road right-of-way near the bridge. 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. Sincerely, ak;q, Bill Arrington, D.O.T.
