Submer�ed Aquatic Ve�etation
22) In accordance with commitments made by the permittee (Finding of No Significant Impact page 35), to
ensure that SAV habitat is not impacted, the permittee shall conduct additional SAV surveys within the
area shaded by the authorized project and a nearby reference site, before and after construction using
methodologies recommended by DCM. SAV surveys shall continue in the spring/summer prior to
construction to gather data. After construction is completed, NCDOT shall perform SAV surveys for
two additional years. After these surveys, NCDOT shall provide the results to DCM and work with
DCM to determine if there is a need for mitigation.
Impacts to Wetlands and Waters of the State and Compensatorv Miti�ation
NOTE: In accordance with the N.C. Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) letter dated 2/10/16,
compensatory mitigation for permanent impacts of 0.72 acres of riparian wetlands and 0.05 acres
of Coastal Wetlands associated with the authorized project shall be provided by the DMS in
accordance with the In-Lieu Fee Instrument dated 7/28/10.
23) Construction of the bridge footers shall not result in impacts to Coastal Wetlands.
24) Any voids in wetlands caused by the removal of the temporary work bridge shall be restored to the
elevation of pre-existing conditions with suitable wetland or organic substrate compatible with the
naturally occurring surrounding substrate to ensure revegetation of the impacted areas. The permittee
shall notify DCM's Transportation Project Field Representative in Morehead City to provide DCM with
an opportunity to inspect the material for suitability prior to backfilling.
NOTE: Any wetland material that is accidentally extracted with the removal of temporary work bridge
piles should be used to the maximum extent practicable to help backfill any voids that are created
in wetlands.
25) Due to the possibility that shading, compaction, hand clearing, mechanized clearing, excavation, and/or
other site alterations might prevent the temporary Coastal Wetland impacts from re-attaining pre-project
wetland functions, the permittee shall provide an annual update on the Coastal Wetland areas
temporarily impacted by this project. This annual update shall consist of photographs and a brief written
report on the progress of these temporarily impacted areas in re-attaining their pre-project
functions. The permittee shall schedule a meeting with DCM to verify the extent and location of
temporary impacts upon project completion. Within three years after project completion, the permittee
shall hold another agency field meeting with DCM to determine if the Coastal Wetland areas
temporarily impacted by this project have re-attained pre-project wetland functions. If at the end of
three years DCM determines that the Coastal Wetland areas temporarily impacted by the project have
not re-attained pre-project wetland functions, DCM will determine whether compensatory mitigation
shall be required for these impacts.
26) There shall be no clearing or grubbing of wetlands outside of the areas indicated for impacts on the
attached workplan drawings without prior approval from DCM.
27) The permittee shall minimize the need to cross wetlands in transporting equipment to the maximum
extent practicable.
