long wooden bridge would be replaced with a 24 ft. wide X 105 ft. long concrete span. Vertical
clearance is proposed to be reduced by 0.5 ft.
NC DOT BRIDGE NO. 6, CHOWAN COUNTY
BIO REPORT

SITE DESCRIPTION
The NC DOT owns and maintains Bridge # 6 at the crossing of SR 1318 and Pollock Swamp ,
approximately 2 miles north of the Town of Edenton, Chowan County.
Pollock Swamp in the vicinity of the SR 1318 bridge is approximately 1200 ft. wide and is forested
with mostly Taxodiwn distichum (bald cypress), Nyssa aquatica (black gum), Acer rubrum (red maple)
and Magnolia virginiana (sweetbay magnolia). The shoreline adjacent to the existing bridge is
predominately vegetated with the same overstory canopy.
The waters of Pollock Swamp are classified by the Wildlife Resources Commission and the Division
of Marine Fisheries as Inland Waters. These waters are classified by the Division of Environmental
Management as CSW. The waters of Pollock Swamp are classified as Public Trust Waters by the Division
of Coastal Management and is a part of the Estuarine System Area of Environmental Concern.
Flow data are not readily available on Pollock Swamp although a very slow flow was observed on
October 17, 1995. The existing channel of Pollock Swamp is often choked with Lintna spp. (duckweed).
No submerged aquatic vegetation were noted during this investigation although emergents such as Saururus
cernuus (lizards tail) and Polygonum amphibium (water smart weed) were present adjacent to the channel
area and as groundcover in the adjacent swamp.
The submitted plat work on NC DOT Bridge # 6 indicates the existing bridge is 19.2 ft. in width
and 69 ft. in length, a mid-point water depth of - 6.0 ft. and a vertical clearance over Public Trust Waters
of 4.5 ft. at normal water level conditions.
During a field investigation on October 17, 1995 the channel water depth and vertical bridge
clearance at the mid-point location of the bridge was 5 ft. 2 in. and 4 ft. respectively. The bridge is
constructed of asphalt-covered wood planking supported by nine wood/concrete piles. The adjacent
shorelines are stabilized with natural vegetation.
PROPOSED WORD
The DCM received an application on October 6, 1995 from the NC DOT requesting authorization to
replace the existing bridge No. 6. NC DOT proposes to remove and replace the wooden bridge at Pollock
Swamp with a 24 ft. wide reinforced concrete structure. The proposed 105 ft. long bridge structure consist
of three 35 ft. long prestressed concrete spans supported on two 15 inch diameter bent piles. The proposed
structure would provide a clearance over Public Trust Waters of about 4.0 ft. at normal water level
conditions. Both existing approaches to Bridge # 6 would be widened to 36 ft. in width for a distance of
40 ft. from the proposed bridge structure.
SR 1318 will be closed for the duration of the project. No temporary bridge bidge access will be
needed.
NC DOT BRIDGE NO. 6, CHOWAN COUNTY
BIO REPORT
Page Three
ANTICIPATED EgPACTS
NC DOT Bridge #6 has no known historical significance. The proposed project would require the
placement of piles and fill which will directly impact and freshwater wetlands and Public Trust Waters. The
new bridge structure would result in the filling of 600 sf. and the shading of 960 sf. of Public Trust Waters
as well as the filling of 45 sf. of freshwater wetlands. Access to Public Trust Waters would be impacted
by the proposed one-half ft. reduction in vertical clearance.
Construction of the proposed project would temporarily increase turbidity within the stream channel
and downstream. The NC DOT has not offered any compensation for the projected wetland or Public
Trust losses or impacts.
CAMA REVIEW
The proposed development falls within the purview of the Chowan County Land-Use Plan. In its
plan, the County expresses support for various state and federal programs, especially NC DOT road
improvements. The County relies on existing regulations when dealing with impacts to the AEC's that can
be permitted by regulatory agencies. If these permitting agencies issue a permit for the proposed work, it
would be consistent with the Chowan County Land-Use Plan.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: NC DOT proposes to replace Bridge #6 at the crossing of SR 1318 and
Pollock Swamp north of the Town of Edenton in Chowan County. The existing 19 ft. wide X 69 ft.
long wooden bridge would be replaced with a 24 ft. wide X 105 ft. long concrete span. Vertical
clearance is proposed to be reduced by 0.5 ft.
NC DOT BRIDGE NO. 6, CHOWAN COUNTY
BIO REPORT

SITE DESCRIPTION
The NC DOT owns and maintains Bridge # 6 at the crossing of SR 1318 and Pollock Swamp ,
approximately 2 miles north of the Town of Edenton, Chowan County.
Pollock Swamp in the vicinity of the SR 1318 bridge is approximately 1200 ft. wide and is forested
with mostly Taxodium distichum (bald cypress), Nyssa aquatica (black gum), Acer rubrum (red maple)
and Magnolia virginiana (sweetbay magnolia). The shoreline adjacent to the existing bridge is
predominately vegetated with the same overstory canopy.
The waters of Pollock Swamp are classified by the Wildlife Resources Commission and the Division
of Marine Fisheries as Inland Waters. These waters are classified by the Division of Environmental
Management as CSW. The waters of Pollock Swamp are classified as Public Trust Waters by the Division
of Coastal Management and is a part of the Estuarine System Area of Environmental Concern.
Flow data are not readily available on Pollock Swamp although a very slow flow was observed on
October 17, 1995. The existing channel of Pollock Swamp is often choked with Limna spp. (duckweed).
No submerged aquatic vegetation were noted during this investigation although emergents such as Saururus
cernuus (lizards tail) and Polygonum amphibium (water smart weed) were present adjacent to the channel
area and as groundcover in the adjacent swamp.
The submitted plat work on NC DOT Bridge # 6 indicates the existing bridge is 19.2 ft. in width
and 69 ft. in length, a mid-point water depth of - 6.0 ft. and a vertical clearance over Public Trust Waters
of 4.5 ft. at normal water level conditions.
During a field investigation on October 17, 1995 the channel water depth and vertical bridge
clearance at the mid-point location of the bridge was 5 ft. 2 in. and 4 ft. respectively. The bridge is
constructed of asphalt-covered wood planking supported by nine wood/concrete piles. The adjacent
shorelines are stabilized with natural vegetation.
PROPOSED WORK
The DCM received an application on October 6, 1995 from the NC DOT requesting authorization to
replace the existing bridge No. 6. NC DOT proposes to remove and replace the wooden bridge at Pollock
Swamp with a 24 ft. wide reinforced concrete structure. The proposed 105 ft. long bridge structure consist
of three 35 ft. long prestressed concrete spans supported on two 15 inch diameter bent piles. The proposed
structure would provide a clearance over Public Trust Waters of about 4.0 ft. at normal water level
conditions. Both existing approaches to Bridge # 6 would-be widened to 36 ft. in width for a distance of
40 ft. from the proposed bridge structure.
SR 1318 will be closed for the duration of the project. No temporary bridge bidge access will be
needed.

BIO REPORT

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
NC DOT Bridge #6 has no known historical significance. The proposed project would require the
placement of piles and fill which will directly impact and freshwater wetlands and Public Trust Waters. The
new bridge structure would result in the filling of 600 sf. and the shading of 960 sf. of Public Trust Waters
as well as the filling of 45 sf. of freshwater wetlands. Access to Public Trust Waters would be impacted
by the proposed one-half ft. reduction in vertical clearance.
Construction of the proposed project would temporarily increase turbidity within the stream channel
and downstream. The NC DOT has not offered any compensation for the projected wetland or Public
Trust losses or impacts.
CAMA REVIEW
The proposed development falls within the purview of the Chowan County Land-Use Plan. In its
plan, the County expresses support for various state and federal programs, especially NC DOT road
improvements. The County relies on existing regulations when dealing with impacts to the AEC's that can
be permitted by regulatory agencies. If these permitting agencies issue a permit for the proposed work, it
would be consistent with the Chowan County Land-Use Plan.

Dear Mr. Vick:
Through coordination with the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management, we have learned of your Department's plans to replace NCDOT Bridge
No. 6, located off State Road 1318, adjacent Pollock Swamp, near the Town of
Edenton, Chowan County, North Carolina.
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal
Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization,
pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404
of the Clean Water Act, was provided by Nationwide Permit No. 14 for fills for
roads crossing waters of the United States (including wetlands and other
special aquatic sites) provided:
a. The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the
actual crossing;
b. The fill placed in waters of the United States is limited to a filled
area of no more than one-third acre. Furthermore, no more than a total of 200
linear feet of the fill for the roadway can occur in special aquatic sites,
including wetlands;
C. The crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent
the restriction of, and to withstand, expected highflows and the movement of
aquatic organisms;
d. The crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project for crossing of a water of
the United States; and
e. For fills in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the permittee
notifies the District Engineer (DE) in accordance with the "Notification"
general condition.
Your work, located in the coastal area, is authorized by this nationwide
permit provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed
conditions and any required State authorization.. A consistency determination
is required from the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM).

Contact Mr. Steve Benton, telephone [phone] for this consistency
determination. A Section 401 water quality certification is required from the
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management. Contact Mr. John Dorney,
telephone[phone] for this certification. This nationwide permit does not
relieve you of the responsibility to obtain other required State or local
approval.
This verification will be valid until the nationwide permit is modified,
reissued or revoked, which will occur prior to January 21, 1997. It is
incumbent upon you to remain informed of changes to the nationwide permits,
which will be announced by public notice when they occur. If you commence, or
are under contract to commence, this activity before the date the nationwide
permit is modified or revoked, you will have twelve months from the date of
the modification or revocation, to complete the activity under the present
terms and conditions of this nationwide permit.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Raleigh Bland, Washington
Regulatory Field office, telephone [phone], extension 23.

Raleig Bland
