9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
The CSXT Wilmington Railroad Bridge is located at MP SE 361.10 over the Cape Fear River in
Brunswick and New Hanover Counties. The rail line leads from the railroad yard in Navassa to
major delivery destinations in Wilmington and points east, including the Port of Wilmington. At this
location the river is approximately 400' wide. The eastern side of the river is utilized for navigation
and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been authorized to maintain the depth at the project site
to -8' below Mean Low Water. Elevations in the project area range from 0 to 15 feet above the
normal high-water level of the river. The property in the northwest quadrant of the project is
predominantly forested high ground, while the land in the southwest quadrant is occupied by a large
industrial building, with loading docks and piers located approximately 110' downstream from the
railroad bridge. The property on the east side of the river is predominately coastal wetlands, with the
exception of the elevated railroad causeway.
An assessment of the Navassa Bridge by the Federal Railroad Administration under Section 106
of the National Historic Preservation Act is included in the application as Appendix B. Within this
letter addressed to the NC State Preservation Office, is a determination that the Navassa Bridge was
originally constructed in 1911, and it is considered to be a contributing element to the Seaboard Air
Line Railway/Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, which is considered to be eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The bridge and rail line are now part of the CSX Railroad SE
Line, formerly the Seaboard Air Line Railway/Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.
The bridge crossing consists of a 215' long single span fixed steel truss bridge west of the federal
navigation channel, and a movable 115' long steel span draw bridge over the federal navigation
channel. A wood and steel fender system lines the sides of the federal channel as it passes under the
bridge to protect the ends of the movable span.
The movable span is a rolling lift design and is opened and closed by a bridge tender via electric
controls located in the bridge control house on the southeast side of the movable span. The bridge
control house is currently a wooden 1-story, hip roof design with dimensions of approximately 20'
wide x 25' long. An existing telecommunication line feeds into an existing signal building located
on high ground in the southwest quadrant of the project. No other utility lines were identified in the
project area.
The Cape Fear River has been classified as class SC waters by the Environmental Management
Commission in the area of the proposed construction. The Division of Marine Fisheries classifies
the Cape Fear River in the project area as Joint Waters, as well as Primary Nursery Area and
Anadromous Fish Spawning Area. The waters are closed to shellfishing by the Shellfish Sanitation
Section of the Division of Marine Fisheries. There was no submerged aquatic vegetation or shellfish
beds observed in the project area during the site visit. Navigation in the project area consists mainly
of small recreational fishing vessels.

Project Proposal
The NCDOT — Rail Division proposes to do work on the existing bridge over the Cape Fear River
at MP SE 361.10 to allow for continued future operation of the bridge and rail line. The project
involves multiple activities, including replacing the existing bridge control house with two smaller
control houses, and structural, mechanical, and electrical work, at and adjacent to the bridge.
The proposed project is part of TIP No. P-5740, proposed improvements to Wilmington CSXT
Beltline for approximately 13 miles from Davis Yard to Port of Wilmington in Brunswick and New
Hanover Counties.
To initiate construction on the project, the superstructure of the existing control house would be
demolished. The existing supporting piles and substructure would remain undisturbed. The new
control house would be constructed over the remaining substructure and reduced in size to an 8' x
12' single story structure. The top of the new bridge control house would be constructed to a height
of 36' above Mean Sea Level, which would be equal to or less than the height of the existing control
house.
A new weather station would be constructed within the 8' x 12' building and a new navigation
horn added. The project would include replacement of the obsolete bridge electrical controls with
new electrical controls. The work would be accomplished from the existing rail line and bridge
deck, as well as from a barge located in the river adjacent to the structure but out of the federal
channel.
For resiliency a second control house and backup generator would be installed on the west bank
of the river and south of the railroad track, both on high ground. The second control house would
also be an 8' x 12' single story structure and located at approximately 45' landward of the river. The
backup generator would be constructed on a 22' x 20' concrete pad located 103'west of the river.
The applicant has also proposed to upgrade the electrical and fiber optic services from the west
side of the river to the draw bridge equipment located in the new control house on the east side of the
bascule bridge. To accomplish this, four new HDPE conduits of approximately 4.5" diameter each,
would be installed utilizing the directional bore method. The bore would originate from an entry pit
located approximately 15' southwest of the proposed generator pad. The bore and conduits would
be constructed 20' below the river along the bore path. The bore would resurface into an exit pit
located approximately 200' east of the new control house on the east side of the river and within the
high ground of the existing rail bed. A 4' x4' junction box would be constructed at each end of the
bore. After completion of the relocation of the utility lines under the river, the lines would be
extended to the bridge control houses from the junction box at each end of the bore. The existing
submarine cable would be abandoned in place.
The applicant has proposed to utilize a barge to be able to get the necessary heavy equipment to
the bore pit on the east side of the river, in conjunction with timber matting placed temporarily over
the coastal wetlands between the edge of the river and the bore pit. The timber matting would be up
to 16' wide and extend for approximately 155' from the edge of the river towards the bore pit. A
separate 20' x 40' section of timber matting would be constructed temporarily around the pit to
allow for the proper stability and safety of the equipment used to construct the bore. The timber
matting would be removed from the site once it was no longer needed.
The applicant explored other alternatives to construct the project that would avoid the use of the
temporary timber matting in the coastal wetland areas, such as the use of a barge mounted crane and
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
N.C. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION — RAIL DIVISION
RAILROAD BRIDE AT MP SE 361.10 OVER THE CAPE FEAR RIVER

a Hi -Rail alternative where the equipment would be brought in on the rail line, however, all other
alternatives were determined to be impractical due to logistic or safety reasons. Additional
information on the other alternatives considered are discussed further in depth in the document
attached to the application under Appendix A entitled "Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) at CSXT
Navassa Bridge & under the Cape Fear River, Wilmington, NC".
Anticipated Impacts
The placement of the temporary timber matting to allow construction access from the river's edge
to the east end of the directional bore would result in temporary impacts to approximately 2,792 sq.
ft. of Coastal Wetlands. This would include direct impacts to the existing vegetation from the timber
mats, and some degree of substrate compaction. The applicant has committed to remove the timber
matting in its entirety immediately following project completion. The applicant has not proposed
monitoring and/or mitigation of temporary Coastal Wetland impacts. The timber -matted access path
could result in increased sedimentation and erosion at the river's edge after removal of the mats due
to a reduction in the amount of vegetation.
Impacts to open waters areas are expected to be de minimus from the project as the directional
bore would be constructed below the mudline of the river and the proposed construction barge would
be utilized only in waters of adequate depth to float the barge. No additional piles are proposed for
any of the work. No additional closures of shellfishing waters are expected in association with the
proposed project.
The submarine cable installation would result in the temporary excavation of 32 sq. ft. of high
ground for the bore pits. After completion of the bore, the same areas would be backfilled and the
previously mentioned 4' x 4' junction boxes would reside within the same 32 sq. ft. of high ground.
All work would be conducted within the existing right-of-way. The applicant has committed to
adhere to the "Contractor Frac-out Contingency Plan for Directional Drilling" and the `Bentonite
Mitigation Plan" documents that are included with the permit application to avoid and minimize any
potential environmental impacts during the boring.
The proj ect would also result in approximately 768 sq. ft. of high ground fill for the installation of
the generator pad, the western control house, and a portion of the timber matting around the eastern
end of the bore. All permanent development would be located landward of the 30-foot Coastal
Shoreline AEC.
Representatives of the Federal Railroad Administration have determined that the work proposed
at the existing railroad bridge at MP SE 361.10, as included within the larger scope of rail line
improvements from east of CSX Davis Yard in Navassa to S. 2nd Street in Wilmington, will have No
Adverse Effect on historic properties or archaeological historic properties and have requested the
concurrence of said determination from the State Historic Preservation Officer. The FRA letter also
invites the City of Wilmington, Historic Wilmington Foundation, the Town of Navassa, and the
Catawba Indian Nation to participate in the Section 106 consultation. Additional information on
this topic can be obtained in the letter from the Federal Rail Administration to the State Historic
Preservation Officer contained in Appendix B of the application, with Attachment 5 which includes
the NCDOT NO Archaeological Survey Required Form and emails.

The proposed design of two control houses and elevated generator/pad with upgraded electrical
connections and controls will increase the reliability and resiliency of the rail line and bridge as well
as extend the useable lifespan of the railway.
The applicant has committed to moor any barges utilized at the project site outside of the Federal
Channel. No negative impacts to existing and potential public trust usage are anticipated.

Revised May 28, 2024
Project Narrative
NOTE: Due to design changes with this project that took place after the submission of the original
permit application package on October 31, 2023, this new Narrative supersedes the original
Narrative.
Introduction
The CSX Transportation (CSXT) Wilmington Bridge Renewal Project, at MP SE 361.10, is part of
the Wilmington Curve Realignment Project. This project will upgrade various components of the
existing railroad draw bridge located off Quality Drive at the Cape Fear River within Brunswick
and New Hanover Counties (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Project Location
1
Purpose and Need
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide upgraded electric and fiber optic services from
the west side of the Cape Fear River to the draw bridge equipment located to the east of the
draw bridge portion of the structure. Electrical and fiber optic services cannot be run suspended
from the bridge to the control house and equipment due to the presence of the draw bridge
portion of the bridge.
Proposed Project
Four new high -density polyethylene (HDPE) conduits (4.5" OD) will be installed by the horizontal
directional drill (HDD) method to carry new power feeder conductors and a new fiber optic link
across the Cape Fear River channel. Electrical HDPE conduit shall terminate to ground boxes on
each side of the river. No section of HDPE conduit shall be exposed. All work shall be performed
within existing right of way.
The proposed conduit will be located a minimum of 20 feet below the river bottom (See Sheet
EC-14). The contractor will verify the location of fender piles to avoid potential conflicts with
existing structures and their foundations. No new piles are to be driven. The contractor shall also
verify if any underground utilities exist in the proposed HDD route to avoid conflicts.
The bore pit on the west side of the river will be located on high ground and will be accessed by
way of an existing service road. The bore pit on the east side of the river will be placed on a high
ground area immediately adjacent to the existing rail bed. Temporary timber matting (20' x 40')
will be placed around the exit pit on the east side of the river. A temporary 16' wide timber
matted access path for the HDD equipment will also be constructed from the edge of the river to
the bore pit. Prior to the decision to propose this temporary access path through coastal
wetlands, CSX examined three other options to allow for access to the bore pit without
necessitating wetland impacts. The first of these three options, the use of an elevated trestle,
was dismissed due to cost and engineering considerations. Two other access options, (a hi -rail
alternative, and an alternative for providing access using a barge -mounted crane) were
discounted for the reasons detailed in the attached document entitled "Horizontal Directional
Drill (HDD) at CSXT Navassa Bridge & Under the Cape Fear River, Wilmington, NC" (See Appendix
A).
The HDD conduit will then run from this bore pit to the bridge structure, where it will then be
hung from the bridge as it is run to the control house and the draw bridge equipment. The
conduit will not extend any lower than the existing bridge structure. The existing sub -marine
cable will be abandoned in place.
The proposed project will also involve the removal of an existing control house on the bridge
structure, the construction of a new 20' x 25' generator pad on the western shoreline and two
new 8' x 12' control houses — one on the western shoreline of the project and one in the location
2
of the existing control house, along with a new navigation horn and weather station. No
additional pile driven will be necessary to accommodate the control houses.
Impacts
Wetlands- Permanent
The proposed project will not result in any permanent impacts to wetlands,
including coastal wetlands.
Wetlands- Temporary
The placement of the temporary matting surrounding the bore pit and the
temporary matted access path will result in the temporary impact of 0.062 acres
of coastal wetland. The temporary matting and temporary matted access path
will be removed in its entirety immediately following project completion.
Navigation
There should be no negative impact on vessels navigating the Cape Fear River.
The HDD conduit will be placed sufficiently below the river bottom to ensure
that there will be no impacts to navigation or future channel dredging efforts.
Any barges used during the construction process, including demolishing and
replacing the existing control house, will be moored outside of the Federal
Channel.
Cultural Resources
Attached please find a letter from Katherine Zeringue, Federal Preservation
Officer, to Dr. Kevin Cherry, State Historic Preservation Officer (Attn: Renee
Gledhill -Earley, Environmental Review Coordinator) noting that No
Archaeological Survey was required (See Appendix B).
Access and Staging Plan
Access to the project from the west side of the river will be by way of an existing
service road adjacent to the railroad bed. Access to the project from the east
side of the project will be by way of barges moored in the river. Any barges used
during the construction process will be moored outside of the Federal Channel.
Avoidance and minimization
Impacts to wetlands, including coastal wetlands, have been minimized through a
project design that eliminates all permanent impacts to wetlands and waters,
and will only have a temporary impact to wetlands of 0.062 acres.
Navigational impacts on vessels navigating the Cape Fear River have been
avoided by requiring that any barges used during the construction process be
moored outside of the Federal Channel.
Because HDD projects can present unique potential risks, the contractor will
adhere to the contractor Frac-Out Contingency Plan for Directional Drilling (see
Appendix C) and the Bentonite Mitigation Plan (See Appendix D). Once chosen,
the contractor may choose to implement their own contingency and/or
