Mitigation
20) On-site riverine mitigation will be carried out as described in the document titled "On-site mitigation
plan for the proposed replacement of Bridge No. 04 on SR 1207 over Rocky Hock Creek in Chowan
County, North Carolina" dated June 27, 2002.
NOTE: The removal of approximately 639 feet of existing causeway fill material should result in the
restoration of approximately 0.60 acres of riverine wetlands and the enhancement of
approximately 7.36 acres of riverine wetlands. Because this project will impact approximately
0.21 acres of riverine wetlands, there will be a net gain of approximately 0.39 acres of riverine
restoration mitigation credits and approximately 7.36 acres of riverine enhancement mitigation

credits.
21) This permit does not convey or imply approval of the suitability of the excess mitigation generated by
this project as compensatory wetland mitigation for any particular future projects. The use of any
portion of the excess mitigation generated by this project as compensatory mitigation for future projects
will be approved on a case-by-case basis during the CAMA permit review and/or consistency process. •
•
22) If the excess mitigation generated by this project is to be used as mitigation for impacts of future
projects, written concurrence must be obtained from DCM that post-construction monitoring
demonstrates that hydrologic success criteria have been met. Although annual monitoring reports will
not be required, hydrologic monitoring data shall be made available to DCM at such time as the site is
proposed for use as mitigation for future projects.
23) In accordance with the on-site mitigation plan, the permittee anticipates that there may be some areas
where the current depth of fill material within the causeway, including asphalt, may be 8.0 feet deep or
greater below the natural wetland elevation. The permittee will ensure the removal of all unsuitable
material to prevent potential contamination of the adjacent water bodies. The permittee will fill any
void left by the removal of this unsuitable material with clean, unconsolidated sand within
approximately 6.0" to 1.0' of the elevation of the surrounding wetlands. The intent of this is to provide
a base substrate while allowing the natural hydrologic process to move organic material and sediment
into the top 6.0" to 12.0".

On-site Mitigation Plan for the Proposed Replacement of
Bridge No. 04 on SR 1207 over Rocky Hock Creek in
Chowan County, North Carolina.
TIP No. B-3435
June 27, 2002
Overview:
The NCDOT will replace the existing 160.0-foot long bridge over Rocky Hock
Creek with a new bridge approximately 799.0 feet in length. The additional
bridge length will allow for the removal of 639.0 linear feet of causeway in
previously filled wetlands. The existing causeway will be removed and returned
to an elevation resembling that of the adjacent wetlands.
Causeway Removal:
The removal of the old causeway will mean that approximately 0.6 acres of fill will
be removed from wetlands associated with Rocky Hock Creek and the Chowan
River. Approximately 639.0 feet of existing causeway will be lifted, restoring the
riverine wetland underneath. It is anticipated that after the causeway is removed,
the same wind tides that presented a flooding problem for SR 1207 will now
represent a return to the natural hydrologic cycle for the surrounding wetlands.
The water will be able to flow unimpeded beneath the new structure, allowing the
natural wetland hydrology to return. Therefore, in addition to the 0.60 acres of
restoration, the NCDOT proposes riverine wetland enhancement extending
outward from the lifted causeway. The area of enhancement will be calculated

as a '/4 circle, the radius of which is the length of the causeway removed. The
total enhancement area will equal 7.36 acres.
Over the years, there has been a significant amount of compaction and
settlement of the existing causeway. As a result of this settlement and the
constant maintenance needed for continued operation of SR 1207, the NCDOT
anticipates there may be some areas where the current depth of fill material
within the causeway, including asphalt, may be 8.0 feet deep or greater below
the natural wetland elevation. The NCDOT intends to ensure the removal of this
material to prevent potential contamination of the adjacent Chowan River and
Rocky Hock Creek. Due to the amount of fill material to be removed, there is the
potential for a void to be left in place of the removed causeway. As has been the
case in the past with similar projects, the NCDOT proposes to fill these voids with
clean, unconsolidated sand. The voids will be filled to within 6.0 to 12.0 inches of
the elevation of the surrounding wetlands.
The reason for a range of 6.0 to 12.0 inches is twofold. The filling of the
anticipated void with clean sand was recommended by the USACE and is
intended to provide a base substrate while allowing the natural hydrologic
processes to move organic material and sediment into the top 6.0 to 12.0 inches,
thereby providing a natural organic surface over time. By leaving the area that
has been filled with loose sand slightly lower than the adjacent wetlands, it is
anticipated that organic materials carried by the wind tides and/or brought in and
out by the flushing of the adjacent wetlands will settle into the void. This will
create the desired upper layer of natural material. It will also create small areas
of micro-habitat for fish, amphibians, and small mammals.
The second reason for not attempting to match the exact elevation of the
adjacent wetlands is that it is difficult to hit target elevations without mechanized
grading activity. Allowing there to be a range of 6.0 to 12.0 inches avoids the
possibility of unwanted consolidation of the material.

Vegetation:
The NCDOT does not propose any vegetation planting or monitoring. The area
to be restored is underneath the new bridge and would be virtually impossible to
plant and equally difficult to monitor. The NCDOT fully expects natural
colonization of native flora to occur around and under the removed causeway.
The proposed enhancement area is currently a standing Cypress-Gum Swamp
community. The canopy of this area is dominated by bald cypress (Taxodium
distichum) and swamp tupelo (Nyssa aquatica). The NCDOT does not propose
any vegetative manipulation in this area as it is expected that the greatest benefit
to the system will be realized through the return of the natural hydrologic
processes..
Hydrology:
The proximity of the enhancement and restoration areas to the Chowan River
and Rocky Hock Creek ensure that both areas will be saturated and/or inundated
for extended periods of time. However, as requested by the North Carolina
Division of Coastal Management, the NCDOT will install a single surface water
monitoring gauge and a corresponding rainfall gauge within the proposed
enhancement area. The NCDOT will maintain and monitor the gauges for one
year.
While it is difficult to quantify success criteria for the proposed enhancement, the
NCDOT will consider both the restoration and enhancement areas a success if
the areas exhibit periodic fluctuations of the water level that do not correspond to
local rain events or that correspond disproportionately to local rain events. The
intent here is to be able to identify fluctuations that can be attributed to wind tides
versus those that may be due to precipitation.

Dear Mr. Bell:
SUBJECT: Proposed Replacement of Bridge No. 04 on SR 1207 over Rocky Hock Creek
Chowan County; Federal Aid No. BRZ-1207(1); State
Project No. 8.2030201; TIP No. B-3435.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace bridge No. 04 on SR
1207 over Rocky Hock Creek in Chowan County,North Carolina. The proposed project is
intended to replace an obsolete bridge carrying SR 1207 over Rocky Hock Creek in Chowan
County and resolve a long standing maintenance problem along SR 1207 in the vicinity of the
bridge.
Bridge Number 4 is a timber and steel bridge, with an asphalt wearing surface over
timber decking. The decking is on steel I-beams supported by timber caps on timber piles. The
bridge was constructed in 1950. The bridge has a clear roadway width of 5.9 meters (19.2 feet)
and is 48.7 meters (160 feet) long. The bridge has a sufficiency rating of 18.1 (out of a possible
100 points). The bridge is posted with a weight limit of 10 tons for trucks.
SR 1207 in the vicinity of Bridge Number 4 has two 3.0 meter(10-foot) lanes and 1.2
meter(4-foot) grassed shoulders. The speed limit along SR 1207 in the project area is 55 MPH.
Currently, approximately 500 vehicles per day cross Bridge Number 4. By the year 2025,
this volume is expected to increase to 800 vehicles per day. It is estimated that tractor trailers
and single unit trucks make up two percent each of this total.
SR 1207 parallels the Chowan River in the vicinity of Rocky Hock Creek(see Figure 1 of
the approved Categorical Exclusion). At one location north of the creek crossing, the roadway is
less than 9 meters(30 feet) from the river's edge. An approximately 192 meter(630-foot)
section of the roadway north of the existing bridge has settlement problems because of the

mucky nature of the soils in the area. This section of roadway is also prone to flooding due to
wind tides.
The project involves the removal and replacement of Bridge Number 4 carrying SR 1207
over Rocky Hock Creek in Chowan County. The project also involves the removal of an
approximately 195 meter(639-foot)long section of existing pavement and fill from the floodplain
of Rocky Hock Creek north of the existing bridge. A new bridge approximately 259 meters (850
feet) long will be constructed to carry SR 1207 over the floodplain and creek. SR 1207 will be
closed during construction and traffic rerouted along existing roads. The project area and the
studied detour route are shown on Figure 1 in the approved Categorical Exclusion.
The proposed new bridge will have a clear roadway width of 8.4 meters (28 feet). Two
3.3 meter(11-foot) lanes and 1.2 meter(4-foot) grassed shoulders will be provided on both
approaches to the proposed bridge. A design speed of 100 km/h(60 MPH) is proposed for this
project. It is anticipated SR 1207 will be signed at 55 MPH following project completion.
As noted above, the project is located near the confluence of Rocky Hock Creek and the
Chowan River. The geographic location and topography of this site lead to an overwhelming
majority of the area surrounding the current SR 1207 and bridge No. 04 being comprised of
wetlands and/or surface waters. The main wetland complex,through which the existing
causeway and bridge are located, is dominated by a cypress-gum swamp community. This
community type comprises 90 percent of the project area and occurs adjacent to SR 1207 and the
banks of Rocky Hock Creek, except where human development or disturbance has displaced it.
Approximately 0.17 acres of wetland will be filled by the proposed project. The project will also
require 0.04 acres of wetland to be mechanically cleared to provide room for bridge construction.
Originally, the proposed project planned to replace bridge No. 04 with a bridge of similar
length as the existing bridge and included measures to alleviate the constant settlement and
flooding problems on SR 1207 adjacent to the Chowan River. The original plan to stabilize SR
1207 called for the elevation of the existing roadbed to be increased by several feet. This would
have necessitated a widening of the existing shoulder cross-section, and a considerable amount of
new fill in the high quality wetlands adjacent to SR 1207 would have been needed. In order to
reduce impacts to wetlands, extending bridge No. 04 was recommended. It was determined that
a longer bridge would reduce impacts to wetlands as well as eliminate the settlement and
flooding problems along SR 1207.
The new, longer bridge will now span approximately 639.0' of previously filled wetlands.
The existing causeway will be removed and returned to an elevation resembling that of the
adjacent wetlands. The removal of the old causeway will mean that approximately 0.6 acres of
fill will be removed from wetlands associated with Rocky Hock Creek and the Chowan River.
After the causeway is removed, the same wind tides that presented a flooding problem for SR
1207 will now represent a return to the natural hydrologic cycle for the surrounding wetlands.
The water will be able to flow unimpeded beneath the new structure, allowing the natural
wetland hydrology to return. As was done on the R-2539 project in Craven County, the
NCDOT asks that enhancement mitigation credit be granted for the wetland area that will benefit
from the improved hydrology. Approximately 639.0 feet of existing causeway will be lifted,
restoring the riverine wetland underneath. The NCDOT proposes riverine wetland enhancement
extending outward from the lifted causeway. The area of enhancement will be calculated as a '/

circle, the radius of which is the length of the causeway removed. The total enhancement area
will equal 7.36 acres.
Over the years, there has been a significant amount of settlement of the existing
causeway. As a result of this settlement and the constant maintenance needed for continued
operation of SR 1207,the NCDOT anticipates there may be some areas where the amount of fill
material, including asphalt, may be 8.0 feet deep or greater. The NCDOT intends to ensure the
removal of this material to prevent potential contamination of the adjacent Chowan River and
Rocky Hock Creek. However, there is the potential for a void to be left in place of the removed
causeway. As has been the case in the past with similar projects of this nature,the NCDOT
proposes to fill these voids with clean, unconsolidated sand. The voids will be filled to within
6.0"to 1.0' of the elevation of the surrounding wetlands. The intent of this is to provide a base
substrate while allowing the natural hydrologic processes to move organic material and sediment
into the top 6.0"to 1.0'.
In summary,the NCDOT proposes to replace the current bridge and causeway along SR
1207 with a new bridge. Approximately 639.0' of existing causeway will be removed and the
elevation restored to resemble the adjacent wetlands. The project will require 0.17 acres of
permanent fill in wetlands and 0.04 acres of mechanized clearing to accommodate the new bridge
approaches. The removal of the causeway will result in a net gain of 0.39 acres (0.6-0. 21). The
project will also vastly improve the hydrology and function of 7.36 acres of surrounding
wetlands. The NCDOT asks that the 0.39 acres of restoration and the 7.36 acres of enhancement
be allowed as credits on future projects within the Chowan River Basin. The NCDOT is aware
of at least one future project, TIP project B-3636 on SR 1222,that is actually on Rocky Hock
Creek a few miles upstream of the current project. Should mitigation be required on B-3636,the
NCDOT would like the option to use credits received from the removal of the causeway on B-
3435.
It is anticipated that this project will be authorized by Nationwide Permit No. 23. Please
find attached a completed Pre-construction Notification Form along with the appropriate permit
drawings. By copy of this letter,the NCDOT is also requesting that the North Carolina Division
of Water Quality issue the appropriate Section 401 Water Quality Certification. A North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management Major Development Permit has been requested under
separate cover. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call Mr. Lindsey Riddick of

9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The site of this proposal is Bridge No. 4 on State Road 1207, 4.5 miles northwest of Edenton at
the crossing of Rocky Hock Creek, in Chowan County. The general purpose of the project is to
replace the deteriorated 160-foot long by 19-foot wide timber and concrete bridge with an 850-
foot long by 28-foot wide concrete bridge Spanning Rocky Hock Creek and the adjacent Cypress-
gum Swamp, to alleviate flooding of the northern bridge approach and allow safer driving
conditions for the traveling public.
Bridge No. 4 crosses Rocky Hock Creek near its confluence with the Chowan River. The bridge
crossing Rocky Hock Creek is flanked with Cypress-gum Swamp, except for the southwest
quadrant, which is urbanized and currently supports a marina. Creek width at the crossing is
approximately 120 feet and widens significantly downstream (southwest) of the bridge. Vertical
clearance between the water and bridge bottom is approximately 3 feet. An approximately 1000-
foot long by 45-foot wide causeway was constructed through the Cypress-gum Swamp on Dorovan
Muck soils when the bridge was constructed in 1950.The causeway settlement and flooding have
led to constant maintenance of the road. The Cypress-gum Swamp area consists of Bald Cypress,
Sweetgum, Willow, Red Maple, Swamp Tupelo Gum, Sweet Bay, Giant Cane, Greenbrier and
Poison Ivy. Soils on this site are mainly Dorovan Muck with a small portion of Udorthents in the
upper elevations as classified by the NC Soil Conservation Service. Approximate elevations on the
site range between 1 feet and 5 feet above normal water level. Freshwater Muscles were noted at
Bridge No. 4. No evidence of SAV beds was noted. The North Carolina Division of Water
Quality classifies waters of Rocky Hock Creek as B-NSW at the project site. No Primary Nursery
Area, as designated by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries, is located at this site.
The Chowan County Land Use Plan designates the project area as Rural, with all CAMA Areas of
Environmental Concern designated as Conservation.
The proposal is to replace the existing 160-foot long by 19-foot wide timber and concrete bridge
with an 850-foot long by 28-foot wide pre-stressed concrete bridge on the existing alignment. The
proposed bridge will have a vertical clearance 1 foot greater than the existing bridge
(approximately 4 feet). Constructing this project would include removing 639 feet of the
previously filled causeway (that is approximately 45 feet wide) and grading it 6-12 inches lower
than the surrounding Cypress-gum wetlands to facilitate the precipitation of organic sediment into
the restored wetland area. The northern portion of the bridge will be approximately 5 feet higher
than the existing fill causeway to prevent future flooding. The bridge is being widened from 19
feet to 28 feet to more closely correspond to the 11 foot paved travel lanes and 4 foot grassed
shoulders of SR 1207. NC DOT Best Management Practices will be used for erosion control and
bridge demolition.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT
NC DOT - B-3435, Chowan County, Bridge No. 4
PAGE 3
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
As proposed, the construction of the bridge approaches with 3:1 slopes would require the filling of
approximately 7,405 square feet (0.17 acres) of 404 type wetlands and approximately 19,500
square feet (0.45 acres) of impacts to high ground. To allow room for grading, approximately
1742 square feet (0.04 acres) of 404 type wetlands will be cleared adjacent to the road shoulders
by NC DOT Method III (mechanical clearing and grubbing). The additional width of the bridge
will cause approximately 1260 square feet of additional shading impacts to Public Trust Waters
AEC. Removal of 639 feet of previously filled causeway will result in the disturbance of
approximately 29,250 square feet(0.67 acres) of high ground. A minimal disturbance of the creek
bottom is expected during the installation of the pilings. Approximately 3,960 square feet of the
above describe ground disturbance will be within the CAMA Coastal Shoreline AEC. The 30 foot
buffer requirement implemented by the Coastal Resources Commission does not apply to this
proposal, as bridges and culvert crossings were determined to be water dependent uses.
NC DOT has reduced the 404 type wetland excavation and fill impacts associated with this
proposal by lengthening the bride from 160 to 850 feet. This will reduce fill in wetlands that
would have occurred in raising the causeway. Lengthening the bridge also creates a wetland buffer
between the bridge approaches and the waters of Rocky Hock Creek, allowing some treatment of
the storm water run off associated with the bridge and roadway. NC DOT has committed to
dropping no materials from the bridge demolition in the water and to using top down construction
to minimize impacts. Due to the presence of anadromous fish in Rocky Hock Creek, NC DOT has
committed to an in-stream work moratorium from February 15 to October 31. The NC DOT has
proposed to use standard BMP's to minimize the impacts of erosion.
The proposed removal of 639 feet of existing causeway should restore approximately 0.6 acres of
fill causeway to its natural hydrology. NC DOT is asking for riverine restoration mitigation credit
for this area as well as enhancement mitigation credit for an area extending outward from the
removed causeway, calculated as a quarter circle, the radius of which is the length of the removed
causeway (7.36 acres). NC DOT has agreed to perform hydrologic monitoring in this area (see
included mitigation plan). NC DOT will be impacting approximately 0.21 acres of 404 type
wetlands in this proposal and would like to use the restoration created to offset these impacts,
leaving a net gain of 0.39 acres of riverine restoration mitigation credit and 7.36 acres of riverine
enhancement mitigation credit. NC DOT requests this credit be allowed for future projects within
the Chowan River Basin, including TIP project B-3636 on SR 1222, approximately 2.5 miles
upstream of Bridge No. 4.
The collective disturbance area for the project is 1.42 acres.

FROM: BILL ARRINGTON
SUBJECT: COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS - CAMA MAJOR PERMIT -
Replacement of Bridge No. 4 at the crossing of Rocky Hock Creek on SR 1207 in
Chowan County
DATE: June 4, 2002
The following are my comments and recommendations regarding the above-mentioned proposal.
The proposal consists of replacing the degraded 160-foot long by 19-foot wide timber and concrete
bridge with an 850-foot long by 28-foot wide pre-stressed concrete bridge on the same alignment.
Approximately 639 feet of causeway that was previously filled through Cypress-gum Swamp will be
removed to restore natural hydrology to the area. NCDOT has reduced the 404 type wetland
excavation and fill impacts associated with this proposal by lengthening the bridge to avoid fill
slopes in wetlands and by creating a wetland buffer between the bridge approaches and the waters
of Rocky Hock Creek that should provide some treatment to the storm water leaving the roadway
and bridge. Removal of the approximately 639-foot by 45-foot causeway will restore approximately
0.6 acres of previously filled wetlands to a more natural hydrology. NC DOT is asking to mitigate
for the proposals 0.21 acres of wetland impacts (0.17 acres fill and 0.04 acres clearing) with the
restored wetlands created by the removal of the causeway. NC DOT is also requesting riverine
restoration mitigation credit for the remainder of the restored causeway area and riverine
enhancement mitigation credit for the area adjacent to the restored causeway to be used to offset
future impacts for transportation projects in the Chowan River Basin, including B-3636 on SR 1222,
2.5 miles upstream of Bridge No. 4. Rocky Hock Creek is inland water classified B-NSW. The
project is well designed with minimization of impacts and a net gain of wetlands. I would
recommend the project be approved contingent upon the following conditions:

Raleigh,North Carolina,27699-1548
Dear Mr. Gilmore:
You have our approval, as described in your application dated April 18, 2002, and in accordance with the attached
conditions and those listed below,to place fill material in 0.17 acres or jurisdictional wetlands. In addition, your are
authorized to perform mechanized clearing in 0.04 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. The project's purpose is the
replacement of Bridge Number 4 on SR 1207 in Chowan County. The project shall be constructed in accordance
with your application dated April 18, 2002. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3371. This certification corresponds to the Regional
Permit Number 198000291 issued by the Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should acquire any other federal,
state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion
Control,Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying
404 permit unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application(unless modified below).
Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold,the
new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter,and is thereby responsible for complying
with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future)exceed one acre,or of total
impacts to streams(now or in the future)exceed 150 linear feet,compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h)(6) and(7). For this approval to remain valid,you must adhere to the
conditions listed in the attached certification.
1. Stormwater shall be directed to sheetflow at nonerosive velocities through the protected stream buffers.
2. Upon completion of the project,the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed"Certification of
Completion Form" to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. The
responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of
Water Quality upon completion of the project.
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

MEMORANDUM
To: Cathy Brittingham
From: Kelly Williams
Date: July 26, 2002
Subject: Rocky Hock Creek Bridge Replacement, Chowan County
I have reviewed the mitigation plan and field report for the Rocky Hock Creek bridge
replacement project. The proposed wetland restoration and enhancement efforts are
acceptable mitigation for the anticipated impacts. Remaining mitigation "credits" can be
considered for future impacts to the same wetland type on a case by case basis. L./-
I recommend the permit include a condition that requires monitoring of any temporary
impacts for a period of time sufficient to confirm the impacts are not permanent. The
restoration area should be monitored for at least a year or until such time that the natural
resource agencies agree that it is successful. A monitoring report should be generated
And distributed for agency review and discussion at the annual mitigation site monitoring
ort meeting. r r CANIkr Ver
It should be noted that enhancement credit for causeway removal has been a topic of
discussion among agencies and the NCDOT for quite some time. Due to the substantial
expense of causeway removal and bridge construction, it was determined that mitigation
credit for the hydrologic enhancement of the adjacent wetlands should be given as an
incentive for the removal of causeways in high quality wetlands. Enhancement credit is
determined by calculating the acreage of a '/a circle with a radius the length of the
causeway removed. This formula for calculating mitigation credit for hydrologic
enhancement resulting from causeway removal was agreed upon by the agencies and by
NCDOT as a reasonable method for determining enhancement credit. The formula is
subject to change for future causeway removal projects pending further study and
discussion of the success of projects such as this one.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Doug Huggett, DCM Major Permit Coordinator
FROM: John A. Thayer Jr. AICP DCM NE District Plann
Through: Ted Sampson, NE DCM District Manager
SUBJECT: Major Permit Request B-3435, by NCDOT To Replace/Reconstruct
Bridge #4 at Rocky Hock Creek (SR1207), Chowan County
DATE: August 1, 2002
Consistency Determination: The request is consistent w/not in conflict with the
Chowan County Land Use Plan (LUP) certified by the
CRC on March 26, 1999
Overview: NCDOT is proposing to replace the existing 160 ft long Timber bridge over
Rocky Hock Creek (SR1207) with a 850-foot long concrete bridge spanning Rocky Hock
Creek and the adjacent Cyprus-gum Swamp. Included as part of the project will be the
excavation of 639 foot of the existing roadway-causeway to be restored to previous
wetland hydrology. Anticipated impacts resulting from this project is expected to be the
shading of about 4,000 sf. of Public Trust Area; and the filling of 1,742 sf. of 404
Jurisdictional Wetlands.
Basis for Determination: The Town of Edenton and Chowan County share Land Use
Plan policy and "Land Classification Map" designations throughout the County. The site
area is designated as "Community" on the west or north half and "Conservation" on the
east or south half. Text discussions, in Chapter VIII., also note that all areas within
AEC's also qualify for the classification of "Conservation. The following are the
applicable:
Public Trust Waters (page VIII)
a. Continue the conservation and management of public trust waters. Appropriate uses include those
which do not cause detriment to the physical or biological functions of public trust areas. Navigational
channels, drainage ditches, bulkheads designed to prevent erosion, marinas, piers and docks shall
be permitted. EC
Note the Land Use Plan has no policy related to bridge or roadway replacements

acres of wetlands, to replace Bridge No. 04 along SR 1207 with a new, smaller bridge.
Approximately 639.0' of existing causeway will be removed and the elevation restored to resemble
adjacent wetlands. The removal to the causeway will result in a restoration of 0.39 riverine
wetland acres and an enhancement 7.36 acres of riverine wetlands adjacent to Rocky Hock Creek,
in Chowan County(Federal Aid No. BRZ-1207(1); State Project No. 8.2030201; TIP No. B-
3435).
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers'Regulatory Program, Title 33, Code of Federal

Bill M. and Lindsey,
Bill M. : On the same day that I received your letter to DOT dated 7/25/02
requesting a stormwater application, fee and site plan, Lindsey Riddick at
DOT FAXed me a letter dated 11/30/01 from the DWQ Washington Regional Office
stating that this project will not require a stormwater management permit. I
FAXed both of these letters to you for clarification on 7/30/02.
DOT needed this permit by 8/2/02 to meet their project schedule, therefore
CAMA Permit No. 105-02 was issued on 8/2/02 with the following permit
condition: "This permit does not eliminate the need to obtain any
additional permits, approvals or authorizations that may be required. This
includes approval, if required, from the N.C. Division of Water Quality under
stormwater management rules of the Environmental Management Commission. If a
Stormwater Management Permit is required, it must be obtained and a copy
provided to DCM prior to initiation of construction. "
Lindsey: Please follow up with Bill M. to ensure that Stormwater management
requirements for this project are met.
Thank you.

Bridge Number 4
On SR 1207 Over Rockyhock Creek
Chowan County
Federal-Aid Project BRZ-1207(1)
State Project 8.2030201
TIP Project B-3435
Division One
Due to the presence of anadromous fish in Rockyhock Creek, a moratorium on in-
stream work for the project will be observed from February 15`h to October 315'.
In areas where existing fill is to be removed, the fill will be completely removed
and the ground returned to its original elevation.
NCDOT will implement Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and
Removal. The existing bridge is composed entirely of timber and steel and will result in
no temporary fill due to bridge demolition debris.

Dear Landowner:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is planning to replace bridge number four on SR 1207
over Rocky Hock Creek. The proposed project will replace the aging existing structure over Rocky Hock Creek.
The project will replace the existing 160-foot long bridge with an approximately 850-foot long bridge. The
additional length will allow for the replacement of a substandard structure as well as eliminate the existing flooding
problem along SR 1207 during high tides. This project crosses an Area of Environmental Concern,as defined by
the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management(DCM),and must be approved by the DCM under provisions
of the Coastal Area Management Act(CAMA). One of the prerequisites to this approval is that adjacent riparian
landowners be given an opportunity to comment on the proposal. A vicinity map and site drawings are enclosed for
your review.
The attached form is submitted to insure that you have an opportunity to comment on the proposal. The
work planned is depicted in the attached drawing. If you have no objections to the proposal,please return the form
with your response within 10 days to this office. If you do have objections to the project,please forward your
comments to:
Mr.Ted Sampson,District Manager

Dear Mr. Gilmore,
The NC Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State
approval for the replacement of Bridge No. 4 on SR 1207 in Chowan County, TIP Project B-3435.
The requested information submitted May 30, 2002, completed your application and it appears to
be adequate for processing at this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is August
12, 2002. 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 initialdeadline 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 project. 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,
Bill Arrington,
