CARTERET COUNTY
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The proposed project is for NCDOT to
replace an existing bridge with four (4) 128" x 83"
corrugated steel pipe arches.
The project site is located at Cullie Creek (off Adams
Creek), on SR 1300, near Merrimon, in Carteret County.
Approximately 555 cu. yds. of sand and muck will be removed
from below MHW and about 185 cu. yds. of material will be
excavated from highground from a total area of 4,000 sq. ft.
(50' x 801). Approximately 335 cu. yds. of fill material
and the four (4) steel pipes will be placed below MHW.
The proposed work is to be conducted by dragline and dump
truck. All spoil materials will be trucked to a highground
disposal site.
The project site has a partial marsh fringe primarily
consisting of Juncus roemerianus, Typha spp. and Cladium
jamaicense. Approximately 100-200 sq. ft. of high marsh
will be excavated from this fringe but it is expected that
the marsh will reestablish a fringe around the stabilized
fill area.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The project will place 335 cu. yds. of
fill material below MHW in a 4,000 sq. ft. area of estuarine
waters in Cullie Creek.
The waters of Cullie Creek are open to shellfishing by the
Division of Health Services and Division of Marine
Fisheries, classified as 'SA'-by the Division of
Environmental Management, and designated as a Primary
Nursery Area by the Division of Marine Fisheries.

STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR
SUBJECT: Replacement of Bridge No.4 along SR 1300 over
Cullie Creek, Carteret County (Div. maintenance)
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes
to replace the bridge over Cullie Creek near the town of
Merrimon in Carteret County. The structure will be replaced
in existing location with four, 128 in. X 83 in. corrugated
steel pipe arches. The existing bridge is 50 feet in length
which spans the 35 ft. wide creek basin. Replacement will
require widening of the creek channel in order to allow 42.6
feet of surface water movement through the pipes. This
action will involve the placement of approximately 335 cu.
yds, of fill below ordinary high water.
Several replacement alternatives were investigated
during planning phases of this project. A "no build"
alternative was not selected because of the need to replace
the existing facility in an effort to provide continued
service along SR 1300.
A second option involved bridge replacement in existing
location utilizing an on-site detour. However, this
alternative was not selected because of extensive wetland
involvement and prohibitive cost ($215,000 vs $45,000 for the
preferred alternative). Utilization of pipes is not only
less expensive, but will also provide for improved water flow
through expansion of the existing channel.
Application is hereby made for Department of the Army
authorization as required for the subject work. Attached is
the permit application and drawings depicting proposed
improvements.
An Equal Opportunity /Affirmative Action Employer
2
Although Carteret County is within the jurisdictional
limits of the N.C. Coastal Area Management Program, we
believe that communities involved with bridge replacement may
not come under LAMA control for permit purposes. should CAMA
jurisdiction prevail, it is requested that this letter and
application package be considered for CAMA permit
authorization.
By copy of this letter, we also request issuance of 401
Water Quality Certification by the Division of Environmental
Management, NRCD.
If you have additional questions, please contact Mr.
Jerry McCrain at 919-733-7842.
