Subject: Replacement of Bridge No. 122 on SR 1320 over Harrison Creek, Bladen
County, NCMA 6001
Please find attached the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form for the
referenced project. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to
replace Bridge No. 122 over Harrison Creek in Bladen County. During construction, traffic will
be detoured off-site using existing secondary roads. The anticipated let date for this proposed
project is August 2004.
The existing structure is a three span bridge built in 1957. The bridge has a sufficiency
rating of 24.4 and is structurally deficient. The superstructure is composed of a reinforced
concrete floor on timber joists. End bents and interior bents are timber caps on timber piles with
steel crutches. The existing structure is 53 feet long and has a clear roadway width of 24 feet.
The existing bridge will be removed in accordance with the NCDOT Best Management Practices
(BMP) for Bridge Demolition and Removal (BDR). The timber and steel components will be
removed without dropping any components into Waters of the U.S. However, there is potential
for small amounts of concrete components of the bridge to be dropped into Waters of the U.S.
during demolition. The resulting temporary fill associated with demolition of the concrete deck
is estimated to be 9.26 cubic yards.
The recommended replacement structure is a three span bridge approximately 110 feet in
length and approximately 30 feet in width. The approach roadway will hold the existing
horizontal alignment and roadway width. It will also be at approximately the same elevation as
the existing roadway. Deck and roadway drainage will be maintained by utilizing a minimum
grade of 0.3 percent and a minimum cross-slope of 2.0 percent for the proposed structure and
roadway approaches. Current plans also include funnel pipe deck drains to reduce potential for

water and ice-related crashes. Drainage from these funnel pipe drains will flow to rip-rap energy
dissipaters near the bridge abutments and will be diverted away from the stream.
Harrison Creek is located within the Cape Fear River drainage, subbasin 03-06-16, and
hydrologic unit 03030005. The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) has
designated a best usage classification for Harrison Creek of "C" from its source to the Cape Fear
River. No Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) or Water Supplies (WS-I and WS-II) waters
occur within 3.0 miles of the project study area.
No permanent impacts will result from the replacement of Bridge No. 122.
Temporary impacts to jurisdictional surface water include approximately 30 linear feet
associated with the removal of endbents. Measures will be taken to ensure that sediment releases
from this activity will be contained to the immediate location of the pile removal operation.
Jurisdictional wetlands are located immediately adjacent to the existing bridge; however, neither
permanent nor temporary wetland impacts are anticipated.
The proposed bridge replacement is a Case 3 demolition project as described by the
NCDOT BMP-BDR.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has identified five endangered (E)
species and one threatened species due to similarity of appearance [T(S/A)] in Bladen County.
No habitat is available within the project area for any of these species.
We are requesting the issuance of a Nationwide Permit No. 3 authorizing construction
activities associated with the replacement of Bridge No. 122. We anticipate that 401 General
Water Quality Certification No. 3376 will be authorized by the NCDWQ. The NCDOT will
comply with all conditions of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
If you have any questions or comments concerning the project, please contact me at
[phone]. Thank you for your assistance.

site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Impacts will be avoided by replaciniz the bridge in place, havinu an off-site detour. divertina
stormwater into funnel drain (no deck drains over open water), and no equipment will be in
wetlands. The new bridge will be approximately 57 feet longer than the old bridge thus
Page 9 of 13
endbents will be moved farther away from the waters edge increasing the floodplain area under
the bridge Turbidity curtains will be installed when steel crutches are removed.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should refl ect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the -79
highest quality. C?
