VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts It may be useful to
provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances,
accessibility, and financial viability of the project The applicant may attach drawings
of alternative, lower-impact 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
Roadway fill slopes are 2 1 to avoid and minimize impacts to adjacent wetlands Existing bents
will be cut at the mud level and no deck drains will be installed on the bridge The temporary
detour completely spans McLendon's Creek
The 65 ft midspan is pushing the prestressed girder to its design limits Pushing the western
bent further away from the stream edge would require a longer span and would require a 54 in
prestressed concrete girder Tlus bridge type would raise the grade and cause additional fill on
the roadway approaches, increasing wetland impacts A steel girder could have been used to
increase the midspan and pull the bents out of the stream edge but it would increase the cost of
the bridge by 27%
A preformed scour hole will be constructed to prevent erosion
NCDOT will implement Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and
Removal NCDOT BMP's for the protection of surface waters will be strictly enforced
during the construction of this project
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 January 15, 2002, 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
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 6 of 10
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
labking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete

INTRODUCTION: The replacement of Bridge No 43 is included in the North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) 2006-2012 Transportation Improvement
Program and in the Federal-Aid Bridge Replacement Program The location is shown on
Figure 1 No substantial environmental impacts are anticipated The project is classified
as a Federal "Categorical Exclusion "
1. PURPOSE AND NEED
The NCDOT Bridge Maintenance Unit records indicate the bridge has a sufficiency
rating of 63 3 out of a possible 100 for a new structure, however, this rating is due to
recent upgrades to the bridge Prior to the current updates the sufficiency rating was
461 The bridge is considered to be functionally obsolete The replacement of this
inadequate structure would result in safer and more efficient traffic operations
IT. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project is located in Moore County on NC 22-24-27 approximately 0 5 miles north of
the function of SR 1640 (Figure 1) The surrounding land use is mostly forested areas,

Bridge No 43 was constructed in 1946 and currently does not have a posted weight limit
The overall length of the three span bridge is 158 feet, with a bed to crown height of 23
feet It has a clear roadway width of 32 feet carrying two travel lanes Bridge No 43 has
a reinforced concrete deck girder supported by a substructure consisting of reinforced
concrete spill through abutments, and reinforced concrete post and web interior bents
In the vicinity of the bridge, NC 22-24-27 is a 24-foot, two-lane roadway with 2-foot
paved shoulders and 6-foot unpaved shoulders (8 feet total) The existing bridge is in a
horizontal tangent and is skewed 110 degrees Both approaches are in tangent with
curves beginning approximately 1,000 feet away from each end of the bridge The
vertical grade for both approaches falls toward the bridge, which is located in a sag Both
approaches have good site distances The speed limit is posted at 55 miles per hour

The current (2006) traffic volume of 8,400 vehicles per day (vpd) is expected to increase
to 14,200 vpd by the year 2025 These volumes include 6 percent dual tired vehicles and
11 percent truck tractor with semi-trailers (TTSTs)
One crash was reported in the vicinity of the bridge during a recent three-year period
The accident involved a single car hitting a fixed object The accident resulted in two
non-fatal injuries
There are no utilities attached directly to the structure, however, there are overhead
power transmission lines along the north side of NC 22-24-27 There are also telephone
lines overhead at the bridge on both sides of NC 22-24-27 Additionally, an underground
fiber optic cable is located parallel to the north side of NC 22-24-27 that aerially crosses
McLendon Creek
There are seven school buses that cross the bridge twice daily In a letter dated October
2, 2002, the Director of Transportation for the Moore County Schools stated that an
alternative route is available This route would utilize Myrick Rd and Kelly Plantation
Rd These routes would be feasible for the Moore County School District, however, it
would add 15-20 minutes to the current bus routes, which would require additional funds
for their bus drivers For this reason, the school district would prefer construction to
begin in May A copy of this letter is included in the Appendix
In a phone conversation with Steadman Means of the Moore County Emergency
Management Agency on September 9, 2004, Mr Means stated that the studied off-site
detour would not be compatible with emergency services routes Mr Means indicated
that SR 1640 on the detour route floods during heavy rains and would not be a reliable
route for emergency vehicles
III. ALTERNATIVES
A. Project Description
The proposed project involves the removal and replacement of Bridge No. 43 on NC 22-
24-27 over McLendons Creek with a wider and safer structure
Based on a preliminary hydraulic analysis that was conducted in conjunction with a field
reconnaissance of the site, the proposed replacement structure for No 43 would be a 175-
foot long bridge The replacement bridge would provide a clear roadway width of 40
feet, carrying two 12-foot wide travel lanes with 8-foot offsets (Figure 3B)
The roadway approaches would provide two 12-foot travel lanes, 4-foot paved shoulders,
and a total shoulder width of 8 feet (Figure 3A) The roadway grade would be
approximately the same as the existing roadway The design speed of the roadway
approaches is 60 mph, with a posted speed limit of 55 mph

• WBS No. 33554. 1.1
B. Build Alternatives
There are two alternatives under consideration for the replacement of Bridge No 43
These alternatives are described in detail below
Alternative 1
Alternative 1 would replace the existing bridge with a new structure constructed in the
same location as the existing bridge (Figures 2A, 213, 2C, and 2D) With Alternative 1, a
temporary on-site detour would be provided on the north side of the existing bridge to
maintain traffic during construction Permanent approach work would extend
approximately 255 feet west of the bridge and approximately 170 feet east of the bridge
for a total length (including the bridge) of 600 feet The detour structure would be
located approximately 45 feet, centerline to centerline, north of the existing bridge and
provide a clear roadway width of 30 feet and would carry two 12-foot travel lanes with 3-
foot offsets (Figure 3B) The detour roadway approaches would provide two 12-foot
travel lines with 8-foot unpaved shoulders (Figure 3A) The design speed for the detour
approaches is 50 mph, with a posted speed limit of 45 mph The total length of the
temporary detour is approximately 1,250 feet
Alternative 2
Alternative 2 would replace the existing bridge with a new structure constructed in the
same location as the existing bridge (Figure 2A) With Alternative 2, a temporary on-site
detour would be provided on the south side of the existing bridge to maintain traffic
during construction Permanent approach work would extend approximately 255 feet
west of the bridge and approximately 170 feet east of the bridge for a total length
(including the bridge) of 600 feet The detour structure would be located approximately
45 feet, centerline to centerline north, of the existing bridge and provide a clear roadway
width of 30 feet and would carry two 12-foot travel lanes with 3-foot paved offsets
(Figure 3B) The detour roadway approaches would provide two 12-foot travel lines with
8-foot unpaved shoulders (Figure 3A) The design speed for the detour approaches is 50
mph, with a posted speed limit of 45 mph The total length of the temporary detour is
approximately 1,250 feet
C. Alternatives Eliminated from Further Study
The "Do-Nothing" Alternative was eliminated from further study because the existing
bridge is considered functionally obsolete Over time the bridge would continue to
deteriorate and would have to be closed due to safety issues The Do-Nothing
Alternative is not an option, due to daily traffic flow on NC 22-24-27, and lack of
suitable alternative routes
The alternative of utilizing an off-site detour to maintain traffic during construction was
considered (Figure 1) The off-site detour would utilize SR 1640 (Kelly Plantation
Road),_ SR 1666 (Hunter Road), and SR 1665 (Myrick Road) as a detour route This

detour is approximately 3 5 miles long and crosses one bridge, Bridge No 62 Bridge
No 62 does not have a posted weight limit SR 1640 is subject to flooding during heavy
rains and SR 1666 is an unpaved road All three of these secondary roads would need
substantial upgrading to carry the heavy truck volume of NC 22-24-27 With an
additional travel time of 7 minutes over the expected detour period of six to eight months,
the delay for this off-site detour is considered to be justifiable from a traffic operations
standpoint under NCDOT guidelines, however, the periodic flooding of SR 1640 makes
it an unsuitable detour for this arterial route
D. Preferred Alternative
Alternative 2, replacing the bridge in its existing location and utilizing a temporary on-
site detour was selected as the Preferred Alternative Alternative 2 was selected as the
Preferred Alternative because it has less environmental impacts and is less costly than
Alternative 1 The plan sheets for the Preferred Alternative are included in Figures 213,

A. Methodology
Published information and resources were collected prior to the field investigation
Information sources used to prepare this report included the following
• United States Geological Survey (USGS) 7 5 minute quadrangle maps (Carthage,
NC 1980),
• NCDOT aerial photograph of the project area (2001),
• Soil maps and descriptions of the soils found in the project area (Moore County
Soil Survey, Natural Resources Conservation Service [NRCS] 1995),
• North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) basin-wide assessment
information (DWQ 2002),
• United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) list of protected and candidate
species (USFWS 2003e), and
• North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) files of rare species and unique
habitats
Water resources information was obtained from publications posted on the World Wide
Web by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR) Division of Water Quality
The USFWS provided a list of threatened and endangered species known to occur in
Moore County on December 30, 2003 (updated March 14, 2006), prior to the field
investigation Information concerning species under state protection was obtained from
the NHP database of rare species and unique habitats The NHP database was consulted
to determine if known protected species occurrences were present in the coverage area of
the USGS Carthage quadrangle prior to field investigation NHP files were reviewed for
known locations of species on state or federal lists and locations of significant natural
areas on March 29, 2004
THE LPA GROUP of North Carolina, p a (LPA) biologists conducted a field
investigation within the project study area on May 25, 2004 The project vicinity is an
area extending 0 5-mile from the study area The study area for B-4207 extends
approximately 800 feet northwest of the existing bridge and approximately 760 feet
southeast of the existing bridge (approximately 0 30 miles), and encompasses a 200-foot
wide corridor centered along the existing centerline of NC 22-24-27
Water resources were identified, and their physical characteristics were recorded For the
purposes of this study, a habitat assessment was performed within the project study area
Plant communities and their associated wildlife were identified using a variety of
observation techniques, including active searching, visual observations, and identifying
characteristic signs of wildlife (sounds, tracks, scats, and burrows) Terrestrial
community classifications generally follow Schafale and Weakley (1990), where

were mapped using sub-meter accuracy Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and
aerial photography of the project site Vertebrate nomenclature follows Potter et al
(1980), Martof et al (1980), the American Ornithologists' Union (2001), and Webster et
al (1991)
Jurisdictional areas were identified using the three-parameter approach (hydrophytic
vegetation, hydric soils, wetland hydrology) established in the US Army Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) The
boundaries of the jurisdictional areas were flagged and mapped in the field using sub-
meter accuracy GPS equipment Jurisdictional wetland areas were characterized
according to a classification scheme established by Cowardm et al (1979)
B. Physiography and Soils
The project study area is located within the Coastal Plain and/or Piedmont physiographic
province of North Carolina The topography of the project study area can be
characterized as nearly level to gently sloping Elevations in the project study area range
from approximately 290 to 300 feet above mean sea level (USGS 1980) Surrounding
land use includes forested areas, a power-line right of way on the north side of NC 22-24-
27, and residential areas outside of the project limits southeast of the bridge
According to the Moore County Soil Survey, the project study area is located within the
Mooshaunee-Hallison-Mayodan-Pinkston soil association (MRCS 1995) Soil
associations contain one or more mapping units occupying a unique natural landscape
Mapping units are named for the mayor soil series within the unit, but may contain minor
inclusions of other soil series The soil survey describes the Mooshaunee-Hallison-
Mayodan-Pinkston association as a gently sloping to steep, moderately deep and deep,
moderately well drained to excessively drained soils that have a loamy or clayey subsoil,
found on uplands
There are six soil series mapped within the project study area which include
• Congaree Loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes (Typic Udzfluvents),
• Mooshaunee-Hallison complex, 2 to 8 percent slopes (Aquic Hapludults-Typic

1. Waters Impacted
The project study area is located in the 03-06-10 sub-basin of the Cape Fear River Basin
(DWQ 2004a), and is part of the USGS hydrologic unit 03030003 (EPA 2004) One
main body of water, McLendons Creek is located in the study area McLendons Creek
originates southwest of the project area dust north of Seven Lakes, and flows northeast to
the Deep River, north of Carthage in central Moore County McLendons Creek has been
assigned Stream Index Number (SIN) 17-30 (DWQ 2004b)
2. Water Resource Characteristics
McLendons Creek is a perennial stream, which at the time of the field investigations had
slow flow over substrate consisting of sand, silt, and gravel Water clarity at the time of
field inspection was poor and the water appeared to be muddy McLendons Creek has a
well-defined channel that has bank heights of approximately 10 feet, with wetlands
located on both sides of the bank McLendons Creek would provide a warm water
habitat Some scouring was observed on the bank at the upstream face of bent #1 Water
depth at the bridge was estimated at five to six feet The channel width of McLendons
Creek is approximately 60 feet, with a bankfull width of approximately 75 feet There is
a well-defined channel with steep banks (near vertical in places) that are approximately
10 feet m height from the bed to the top of the bank The study area encompasses a large
slow flowing run approximately five to six feet deep A Rosgen analysis was not
performed for McLendons Creek, however based, on visual observations of stream
morphology the stream was assigned the stream type B6 (SRI 2005)
2.1 Best Usage Classification and Water Quality
McLendons Creek has been assigned a Best Usage Classification of C (DWQ 2004b)
The C indicates fresh waters that support aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing,
wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture Secondary recreation would include,
wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with the water where such
activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental matter There are also no
restrictions on watershed development or types of discharges (DWQ 2004c) Point
source discharges of treated wastewater are permitted in these waters, pursuant to Rules
0104 and 0211 of 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 2B, local programs
to control non-point source and stormwater discharge of pollution are required
There are no Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), High Quality Waters (HQW), or
Sensitive Supply Watersheds (WS-1), or WS-II waters within three miles up or
downstream of the study area (DWQ 2004b) McLendons Creek is not designated as a

2.5 Permitted Dischargers
There are no permitted discharges within a five-mile radius of the project area (DWQ
2000a)
2.6 Non-Point Source Discharges
LPA biologists reviewed aerial photography and conducted a limited visual observation
of potential NPS discharges located within and near the project study area Atmospheric
deposition from passing vehicles was identified as a potential source of NPS pollution
near the project study area
3. Anticipated Impacts to Water Resources
Short term impacts to water quality such as sedimentation and turbidity, may occur
during construction related activities Impacts from sedimentation and erosion would be
minimized during construction by the use of a stnngent erosion control schedule and the
use of BMPs The contractor would follow contract specifications pertaining to erosion
control measures outlined in 23 CFR 650 Subpart B and Article 107-13 entitled "Control
of Erosion, Siltation, and Pollution pursuant to NCDOT's Standard Specifications for
Roads and Structures " These measures include the use of dikes, berms, silt basins, and
other containment measures to control runoff and the elimination of construction staging
areas in floodplams and adjacent waterways Additional measures that could be taken to
avoid water quality impacts would include keeping heavy equipment out of the stream
channel, keeping staging areas out of wetlands, and also keeping live concrete out of the
stream channel After construction activities are completed, abandoned approaches

associated with the existing structure and/or temporary detours would be removed and
revegetated in accordance with NCDOT guidelines
Other impacts to water quality that would be anticipated as a result of this project
include changes in water temperature due to more exposure to sunlight (from the
removal of streamside vegetation), increased shade due to construction of new structures,
and changes to stormwater flows due to changes in the amount of impervious surface
adjacent to the channel However, due to the limited amount of overall change in the
surrounding areas, impacts would be expected to be minimal and temporary in nature
Waters within the study area have been assigned a Best Usage Classification of C, which
falls into the category of a Case III stream according to Best Management Practices for
Bridge Demolition and Removal (BMP-BDRs) A Case III stream has no special
restrictions other than those outlined in BMPs for Protection of Surface Waters
3.1 Impacts Related to Bridge Demolition and Removal
Section 404-2 of NCDOT's Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures is labeled
Removal of Existing Structure This section outlines restrictions and BMP-BDRs, as
well as guidelines for calculating maximum potential fill in the creek resulting from
demolition These standards would be followed during the replacement of Bridge No 43
There is the potential that the superstructure and part of the substructure could be dropped
into Waters of the United States during the demolition and removal of Bridge No 43
The superstructure consists of a reinforced concrete deck girder with a weather surface
and concrete curbs The substructure is reinforced concrete post and web The maximum
(worst case) potential temporary fill resulting from demolition activities would be
approximately 365 cubic yards
D. Biotic Resources

Impacts to wildlife resulting from the proposed project would be minimal due to the
limited amount of habitat that would be impacted Permanent impacts would be confined
to the existing road shoulders and minimal fill in the adjacent wetlands Although some
loss of habitat immediately adjacent to the existing road shoulders would result, these
areas are of limited value to the wildlife that may utilize them
4.2 Wetland Communities
Temporary impacts include those impacts that would result from demolition of the
existing bridge and construction of the replacement bridge and temporary detour (see
Table 3) Alternative 1, temporary on-site detour to the north would result in 0 05 acres
of temporary impacts to Waters of the United States Alternative 2, temporary on-site
detour to the south (Preferred Alternative) would not result in temporary impacts to
Waters of the Umted States BMPs would be employed by the construction contractor to
first avoid and then minimize impacts to Waters of the United States Erosion and
sedimentation would be controlled by implementation of a Sediment and Erosion Control
Plan during construction Any areas of Waters of the United States that are temporarily
impacted would be restored to their original condition following completion of the
disturbance activity
Permanent impacts to Waters of the United States are those impacts that occur in areas
within the construction limits where clearing would occur or areas would be permanently
filled or excavated (Table 3) Improvement to the bridge approaches [Alternatives 1 and
2 (Preferred)] would result in the placement of 0 01-acre of fill material in wetlands

4.3 Aquatic Communities
There would be approximately 0 01-acre of permanent impacts to water resources
associated with the proposed project Therefore, impacts to aquatic communities would
be minimal
Temporary impacts to aquatic organisms could result from increased sedimentation
during construction Aquatic invertebrates would likely daft downstream during
construction and recolonize the disturbed area once it has been stabilized Sediments
have the potential to affect fish and other aquatic life in several ways, including the
clogging and abrading of gills and other respiratory surfaces, affecting the habitat by
filling wetlands, and altering water chemistry Increased sedimentation may also cause
decreased light penetration through an increase in turbidity NCDOT's BMPs for the
protection of surface waters would be enforced to reduce impacts during demolition and
construction phases
E. Special Topics
1. Waters of the United States
1.1 Wetlands
The jurisdictional wetland in the project study area is palustrine in nature, as defined in
Cowardm et al (1979) Palustnne systems include all non-tidal wetlands dominated by
trees, shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent mosses and all wetlands where salinity due

WBS No. 33554. 1.1
to ocean-denved salts is below 0 5% (Cowardm et al 1979) The dominant wetland type
within the study area is dominated by broad-leaved deciduous vegetation, seasonally
flooded, and saturated, giving it a Cowardm classification of PFO 1 E
1.2 Jurisdictional Streams
McLendons Creek is located within the study area This stream has a well-defined
channel and associated wetlands McLendons Creek is classified as Waters of the United
States There are approximately 251 linear feet of the stream within the project study
corridor
2.0 Permits and Certifications
The following federal permits, state permits, and certifications would be required prior to
beginning construction
2.1 Section 404
In accordance with provisions of Section 404 of the CWA (33 United States Code [USC]
1344), a permit would be required from the United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) for the discharge of dredged or fill material into Waters of the United States.
Because of the project is being documented as a Categorical Exclusion, it is expected that
the project would qualify for a Nationwide Permit 23, which applies to approved
Categorical Exclusions In addition, a Nationwide Permit 33 which applies to temporary
construction, access, and dewatering would be required if temporary construction is
required that is not described in the Categorical Exclusion
2.2 Water Quality Certification
Section 401 of the CWA requires that the state issue or deny Water Quality Certifications
(WQCs) for any federally permitted or licensed activity that may result in a discharge
into Waters of the United States Section 401 Certification allows surface waters to be
temporarily impacted for the duration of the construction or other land manipulation
Issuance of a 401 Certification from the DWQ is a prerequisite to the issuance of a
Section 404 permit If the general conditions of the corresponding WQC will be met,
written concurrence from the DWQ will not be required
3.0 Mitigation
Mitigation has been defined in NEPA regulations to include efforts which a) avoid, b)
mimmize, c) rectify, d) reduce or eliminate, or e) compensate for adverse impacts to the
environment (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] 1508 20 [a-e])
Federal Highway Administration policy stresses that all practicable measures should be
taken to avoid or minimize impacts to wetlands that would be affected by federally
funded highway construction A sequencing (step-down) procedure is recommended in
Categorical Exclusion April 2006
15
B-4207 Bridge Replacement Moore County, NC
WBS No. 33554. 1.1
the event that avoidance is impossible Mitigation employed outside of the highway
right-of-way must be reviewed and approved on a case-by-case basis
Avoidance - Wetlands and Waters of the United States are present along both sides of
the proposed project Because the project involves replacement of an existing structure,
impacts to adjacent wetlands caused by improvements to the existing bridge approaches
and replacement of bridge piers cannot be avoided
Minimization - Using 3 1 fill slopes through wetlands will minimize impacts to the
adjacent wetlands No lateral ditches will be constructed in wetlands. The selection of
Alternative 2 as the Preferred alternative minimizes impacts caused by temporary
construction Utilization of BMPs will be required of the contractor to further minimize
wetland impacts
Compensatory mitigation - According to the conditions of the Nationwide Permit, the
USACE would determine if the impacts are minimal and would at the same time
determine if compensatory mitigation is required Due to the limited nature of impacts
associated with the Preferred Alternative, (0 01-acre) to Waters of the United States,
compensatory mitigation may be required Final mitigation decision rests with the
USACE
F. Protected Species
Some populations of plants and animals are declining either as a result of natural forces
or of their difficulty competing with humans for resources Rare and protected species
listed for Moore County, and likely impacts to these species as a result of the proposed
project are discussed in the following sections
1.0 Species Under Federal Protection
Species with the federal classification of Endangered (E) or Threatened (T), or officially
proposed (P) for such listing, are protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of
1973, as amended (16 U S C 1531 et seq ) Four federally protected species are listed for

Red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) (Picoides borealis)
The RCW is a cardinal sized seven to eight inch long, black and white woodpecker with a
black cap on its head It has a ladder pattern on the back and large white cheeks, which
are unique among woodpeckers in its range (Audubon 2004) It is distinguished by two
red streaks on each side of the black cap, which are referred to as cockades They are
normally only visible on adult males (NWF 2004)
Nesting habitat for the RCW is made up of large open pine stands (pine flatwoods and
pine dominated savannas) that are typically at least 80 years of age with little or no mid-
story Fires that occur as a result of lighting strikes often naturally maintain this habitat
Foraging habitat is comprised of open pine or mixed pine/hardwood stands 30 years of
age or older (Henry 1989) Nests are typically constructed 33 to 43 feet off of the ground
in live pines that have been infected with red-heart disease These nests can sometimes
take several years to construct and are often reused The RCW constructs resin wells
below the opening to the nest to create a sticky coating on the bark of the tree, this
coating protects the nest from predators such as rat snakes The sticky coating has a
shiny appearance, which allows the nest cavities to be easily seen from the ground Red-
cockaded woodpeckers forage in a wide variety of pine species and especially favor areas
that contain large trees due to the large surface area of loose bark They feed on adults,
larvae, and eggs of arthropods, especially ants and termites, that they find by flaking bark
from the tree (Audubon 2004)
Based on a review of NHP records, there are no documented occurrences of red-cockaded
woodpeckers within a three-mile radius of the project study area
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
According to the NHP element occurrence database records, there are no known
occurrences of the red-cockaded woodpecker in the project vicinity There are no
mature pine-dominated stands that could be used for nesting, or foraging habitat
by the red-cockaded woodpecker Also, no cavity trees were observed within a
0 5-mile radius of the study area The proposed project would have No Effect on
this federally endangered species

Cape Fear Shiner (Notropis mekistocholas)
The Cape Fear shiner is a small fish rarely growing over two inches in length The fish's
body is flushed with a pale silvery yellow, and a black band runs along its sides The fins
have a yellowish color and are somewhat pointed, with a black upper lip and a thin black
bar on the margin of the lower lip The Cape Fear Shiner's diet is made primarily of
plant material (FWS 2003b)
The Cape Fear shiner's habitat consists of small rivers to medium-sized creeks near the
Fall Line, areas of moderate gradient and nffles alternating with long deep pools, and
substrate a mixture of sand-gravel, rubble, and boulders Occurs in slow pools, nffles,
and slow runs In these habitats the species is typically associated with schools of other
related species, but it is never the dominant species within these schools (FWS 2003b)
Juveniles occupy slackwater, areas near rock outcrops, and flooded areas (NatureServe
2003a)
Based on a review of NHP records, there are no documented occurrences of Cape Fear
shiner within the study area
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
NCDOT staff members Neil Medlin, Anne Burroughs, Mike Sanderson, and
Kathy Herring conducted a habitat and site evaluation along the length of the
project on October 14, 2004 At the time of the site visit, McLendons Creek at
NC 22-24-27 was too deep to wade downstream of the bridge, but was wadeable
with good flow above the bridge Based on the lack of appropriate habitat, and no
occupied habitat within five miles of the project area, the completion of this
project would not impact the Cape Fear shiner Appropriate soil and erosion
control measures should be in place during the construction of this project to
msure that no additional sediment is added to McLendons Creek
Analysis Details -
Methodology Analysis of the possible presence of and potential impacts to the
Cape Fear shiner was conducted through an evaluation of existing information,
and assessment of the habitat requirements by the primary investigators and
NCDOT biologists Additionally, the NHP element occurrence database was

Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxii)
Michaux's sumac is a low-growing, densely soft-hairy, dioecious shrub with erect stems
one to three feet tall The shrub has compound leaves that are narrowly winged at their

base, dull on their tops, and veiny and slightly hairy on their bottoms, with fine teeth on
the leaf's edge (FWS 2003c) It produces erect clusters of greenish-yellow to white
flowers in June, followed (in the female plants) by conspicuous red fruits that persist
from August through September or October (NatureServe 2003b)
Michaux's sumac typically grows in sandy or rocky open woods on basic soils (FWS
2003c) with a high magnesium content (CPC 2005) The plants growing in natural
habitats are found in pine/scrub oak sandhill (loamy soil variant and blackjack-mixed oak
variant) communities Other sites include small wildlife food plots, forest clear cuts,
abandoned building sites, and under sparse to moderately dense pine or pine/hardwood
canopies The species is shade-intolerant and therefore, is dependent on some type of
disturbance to maintain the open condition of its habitat Historically, this disturbance
was in the form of naturally occurring fires, or possibly localized grazing by native
wildlife (US Army 2003b) Michaux's sumac will also grow in areas such as highway
rights-of way, roadsides, or on the edges of artificially maintained clearings (FWS
2003c)
Suitable habitat was observed within the study area However, soils within the study area
are not sandy in nature and according to the NRCS do not have a high magnesium
content The study area is also fire suppressed which would lead to Michaux's sumac
being out-competed by other species
Based on a review of NHP records, there are no documented occurrences of Michaux's
sumac within a three-mile radius of the project study area
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
According to the NHP element occurrence database records, there are no known
occurrences of Michaux's sumac in the project vicinity Suitable habitat was
observed within the study area (power-line nght-of-way/road shoulders)
However, soils within the study area are not sandy in nature and according to the
NRCS, do not have high magnesium content The study area is also fire
suppressed which would lead to Michaux's sumac being out competed by other
species A meandering pedestrian transect survey (with transects providing 100%
visual coverage of suitable habitat) was completed in the study area in areas that
appeared to be suitable habitat, during the bloom period on May 25, 2004
However, no specimens were observed within the study area Additionally, prior
to the field survey, LPA biologists examined a known location off of US 15-501
in Scotland County, NC on May 25, 2004 The proposed project would have no
effect on this federally endangered species

American Chaffseed (Schwalbea americana)
American chaffseed is a perennial herb with mostly unbranched stems, usually one to two
feet tall Leaves are largest at the base of the plant and gradually diminish in size towards
the top of the stem The two-lipped tubular flowers are yellow, suffused with purple
American chaffseed blooms from April through June in the South and from June to late
July in the North (NatureServe 2003c) The leaves are alternate, lance shaped to elliptic,
stalkless, and are one to two inches in length The fruits are long and narrow and
enclosed in a sac like structure, fruits mature from early summer in the south, to October
in the north (FWS 2003a) This species is parasitic on the roots of a wide variety of
woody and herbaceous plants (NatureServe 2003c)
Amencan chaffseed typically grows in sandy (sandy peat, sandy loam), acidic, and
seasonally moist to dry soils It is generally found in habitats described as open, moist
pine flatwoods, pine/wiregrass savannas, and ecotonal areas between peaty wetlands and
xenc sandy soils (US Army 2003a) All of these habitats were historically maintained by
human or lightning-caused wildfires American chaffseed is dependent on factors such as
fire, mowing, or fluctuating water tables to maintain the crucial open to partly-open
conditions that it requires (FWS 2003a) These habitats are species-rich with grasses,
sedges, and savanna dicots being especially numerous (US Amy 2003a) Natural
communities that could include American chaffseed are, open pine flatwoods, pitch pine
lowland forests, seepage bogs, palustnne pine savannahs, and other grass and sedge-
dominated plant communities (NatureServe 2003c)
Based on a review of NHP records, there are no documented occurrences of American
chaffseed within a three-mile radius of the project study area
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
According to the NHP element occurrence database records, there are no known
occurrences of chaffseed in the project vicinity There are no open, moist pine
flatwoods, pine/wiregrass savannas, or ecotonal areas between peaty wetlands and
xenc sandy soils that could support American chaffseed present within the project
study area The proposed project would have no effect on this federally
endangered species

VI. CULTURAL RESOURCES
A. Compliance Guidelines
This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966, as amended, implemented by the Advisory Council on
Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified at 36 CFR
Part 800 Section 106 requires that for federally funded, licensed, or permitted projects
having effects on properties listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic
Places, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation be provided the opportunity to
comment
B. Historic Architecture
In a memorandum dated July 7, 2004 the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)
states that the proposed project would not have an effect on historic resources A copy of
the memorandum is included in the Appendix
C. Archaeology
An archaeological survey report was completed by Dr Gerold Glover of NCDOT
During the course of the survey no prehistoric or historic archaeological sites were
located within the project area Due to the absence of cultural material, Dr. Glover has
recommended that no further archaeological investigation be conducted in connection
with the project The SHPO concurred with this recommendation since the project would
not involve significant archaeological resources A copy of the SHPO memorandum
dated August 10, 2004, is included in the Appendix

VII. SECTION 4(f) RESOURCES
Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended, states in part
"The Secretary may approve a transportation project or program requiring the use of
publicly owned land of a park, recreation area, or wildlife and waterfowl refuge, or land
of a historic site of national, state, or local significance (as determined by the Federal,
State, or local officials having jurisdiction over the park, recreation area, refuge, or site)
only if ,
(1) There is no prudent or feasible alternative to using that land, and
(2) The program or project includes all possible planning to minimize harm to the park,
recreation area, wildlife and waterfowl refuge, or historic site resulting from such use "
No publicly owned parks or recreational facilities, wildlife and waterfowl refuges, or
historic sites of national, state, or local significance would be impacted as a result of
proposed project The proposed project would not require right-of-way acquisition or
easement from any land protected under Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation
Act of 1966
VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The project is expected to have a positive affect on transportation and the surrounding
community The replacement of the inadequate bridge would result in safer and more
efficient traffic operations
This project is considered a Federal "Categorical Exclusion" due to its limited scope and
lack of substantial consequences
Replacement of Bridge No 43 would not have a negative effect on the quality of the
human or the natural environment
This project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulation No
change in current land use is expected to result from the project
No adverse impact on families or the community is expected Right-of-way acquisition
would be limited, no relocations are expected with the implementation of the Preferred
Alternative
In compliance with Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations) a review was conducted to
determine whether minority or low-income populations would receive disproportionately
high and adverse human health and environmental impacts as a result of this project The

investigation determined the project would not disproportionately impact any minority or
low-income populations
No adverse effect on public facilities or services is expected The project is not expected
to adversely affect social, economic, or religious opportunities in the area There would
be some inconvenience to local travel due to construction activities on NC 22-24-27
According to the NCDOT Bicycle Division Map "Tour Moore" map of bicycle routes in
Moore County, the studied route does not contain bicycle accommodations, nor is it a
designated bicycle route Therefore, bicycle accommodations have not been included as
a part of this project
This project has been coordinated with the United States Department of Agriculture,
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) The Farmland Protection Policy Act
requires all federal agencies or their representatives to consider the potential impact to
prime farmland for all land acquisition and construction projects Soils were identified
within a 0 5-mile radius of the project area, and checked to see if they were classified as
prime, unique, or have state or local importance Six of the soils identified were on the
NRCS list, Important Farmlands of North Carolina, May 1998 Soils in which all areas
are considered prime farmland included, Tetotum Silt Loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes, rarely
flooded (ToA) Soils in which all areas are farmland of statewide importance included,
Mooshaunee-Hallison Complex, 8 to 15 percent slopes (MoD), Mayodan Fine Sandy
Loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes (MdB), and Ailey Loamy Sand, 2 to 8 percent slopes (AeB)
Soils in which only areas protected or not frequently flooded during the growing season
are considered prime farmland included, Congaree Loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes,
frequently flooded (Co) Soils in which only drained areas that are either protected from
flooding or not frequently flooded during the growing season are considered prime
farmland included, Chewacla Silt Loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, frequently flooded (Ch)
If impacts to these soils occur as a result of the proposed project, they are expected to be
limited in nature
No adverse effects to air quality are anticipated from this project This project is an air
quality "neutral" project, so it is not required to be included in the regional emissions
analysis, and a project level CO analysis is not required
The proposed project area is located within Moore County, which has been determined to
be in compliance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards Since the proposed
project area is within an attainment area, 40 CFR Part 51 is not applicable This project
is not anticipated to create any adverse effects on the air quality of this attainment area
If vegetation or wood debris are disposed of by open burning, it shall be done in
accordance with applicable local laws and regulations of the North Carolina
Implementation Plan (SIP) for air quality in compliance with 15 NCAC 2D 0520 and the
1990 Clean Air Act Amendments and the National Environmental Policy Act This
evaluation completes the assessments for air quality, and no additional reports are
required

Ambient noise levels may increase during the construction of this project, however this
increase would be only temporary and usually confined to daylight hours There should
be no notable change in traffic volumes after the project is complete Therefore, this
project would have no adverse effect on existing noise levels Noise receptors in the
project area would not be impacted by this project This evaluation completes the
assessment requirements for highway noise set forth in 23 CFR Part 722 No additional
reports are required
A "Geo-Environmental Impact Evaluation" was conducted by the NCDOT at the project
site to identify any properties that may contain hazardous waste materials and result in
future environmental liability, if the property were to be acquired These hazards
include underground storage tanks (USTs), hazardous waste sites, regulated landfills,
unregulated dumpsites, and any other site or materials that are considered hazardous A
field reconnaissance survey, a file search of appropriate environmental agencies, and a
Geograplucal Information System (GIS) were used to identify any known problem sites
along the proposed project alignment The field reconnaissance survey yielded no
anticipated UST sites within the project area A GIS analysis of the project corridor
showed no regulated landfills, or unregulated dumpsites were within the project limits
GIS analysis and field reconnaissance found no potential RCRA or CERCLA sites within
the project limits Based on field reconnaissance and a records search, no contamination
issues are anticipated for the B-4207 project
Moore County is a participant in the Federal Flood Insurance Program. The bridge is
located within an Approximate Study Area The new structure should be designed to
match or lower the existing 100-year storm elevation upstream of the roadway Since the
proposed replacement for Bridge No 43 would be a structure similar in waterway
opening size, it is not anticipated that it would have any substantial adverse impact on the
existing floodplam, and it would not raise floodplam levels The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the project study
area is attached
Based on the above discussion, it is concluded that no substantial environmental impacts
would result from the replacement of Bridge No 43
IX. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
Newsletters describing the proposed bridge replacement project were sent to local
residents The newsletters give the public an opportunity to comment on the possible
alternatives for the proposed bridge replacement A copy of the newsletter is included in
the Appendix A local resident, who owns property downstream from the bridge,
expressed concern over the potential for increased downstream flooding resulting from
the construction of a replacement structure with a larger opening

PROJECT SCHEDULE
AGE
The acquisition of right-of-way is scheduled for federal fiscal
year (FFY) 2005, with construction in FFY 2006
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Two (2) alternatives have been studied for the proposed bridge replacement protect Both alternatives propose
to replace the bridge in its existing location Alternative 1 would maintain traffic with an on-site detour on the
downstream (north) side of the existing bridge during construction Alternative 2 would maintain traffic with an
on-site detour on the upstream (south) side of the existing bridge during construction Please see the figures
shown on the back of this newsletter Currently Alternative 2 has been recommended as the preferred
alternative because it has a better crossing of the stream and the least environmental impacts
NCDOT WELCOMES CITIZEN INPUT
Public involvement is an important part of the planning process. The North Carolina Department of
Transportation is committed to ensuring all issues of concern to the public are addressed and considered
before any final decisions are made. If you have any quesfions or comments concerning the protect, please
feel free to contact the study team members below

Dear Dr. Thorpe

This letter is in response to your request for comments from the U S Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) on the potential environmental unpacts of the proposed replacement of Bridge No 43
on NC 22-24-27 over McLendon Creek, Moore County, North Carolina (TIP No. B-4207)
These comments provide scopmg information in accordance with provision of the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U S C 661-667d) and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U S C 1531-1543)
For bridge replacement projects, the Service recommends the following general conservation
measures to avoid or minimize environmental impacts to fish and wildlife resources:
Wetland, forest and designated riparian buffer impacts should be avoided and m,ntmuzed
to the maximum extent practical;
2 If unavoidable wetland unpacts are proposed, every effort should be made to identify
compensatory mitigation sites in advance Project planning should include a detailed
compensatory mitigation plan for offsetting unavoidable wetland unpacts. Opportunities
to protect mitigation areas in perpetuity via conservation easements, land trusts or by
other means should be explored at the outset;
Off-site detours should be used rather than construction of temporary, on-site bridges.
For projects requiring an on-site detour in wetlands or open water, such detours should be
aligned along the side of the existing structure which has the least and/or least quality of
fish and wildlife habitat At the completion of construction, the detour area should be
entirely removed and the impacted areas be planted with appropriate vegetation, including
trees if necessary;
4 Wherever appropriate, construction in sensitive areas should occur outside fish spawning
and migratory bird nesting seasons. In waterways that may serve as travel corridors for
o
t. fish,-m-water work should be avoided during moratorium periods associated with
migration, spawning and sensitive pre-adult life stages. The general moratorium period
for anadromous fish is February 15 - June 30,
5 New bridges should be long enough to allow for sufficient wildlife passage along stream
corridors,
6 Best Management Practices (BMP) for Protection of Surface Waters should be
implemented,
7 Bridge designs should include provisions for roadbed and deck drainage to flow through a
vegetated buffer prior to reaching the affected stream This buffer should be large enough
to alleviate any potential effects from run-off of storm water and pollutants,
8 The bridge designs should not alter the natural stream and stream-bank morphology or
impede fish passage To the extent possible, piers and bents should be placed outside the
bank-full width of the stream,
9 Bridges and approaches should be designed to avoid any fill that will result in damming
or constriction of the channel or flood plain. If spanning the flood plain is not feasible,
culverts should be installed in the flood plain portion of the approach to restore some of
the hydrological functions of the flood plain and reduce lugh velocities of flood waters
within the affected area
There are four federally protected species listed for Moore County- the Cape Fear Shiner
(Notropzs mekastocholas), red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealu), American chaffseed
(Schwalbea americana) and Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxu) Although the North Carolina
Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database does not indicate any known occurrences of these
species near the project vicinity, use of the NCNHP data should not be substituted for actual field
surveys if suitable habitat occurs near the project site The NCNHP database only indicates the
presence of known occurrences of federally protected species and does not necessarily mean that
such species are not present It may smnply mean that the area has not been surveyed
Information about the habitats in which these species are often found is provided on our web site,
hU.//endangg.red.fws.gov/. If suitable habitat occurs within the project vicinity for any of the
listed species, surveys should be conducted to determine presence or absence of the species. All
survey documentation must include survey methodologies and results
We reserve the right to review any federal permits that maybe required for this project, at the
public notice stage. Therefore, it is important that resource agency coordination occur early in
the planning process in order to resolve any conflicts that may arise and minimize delays in
project implementation In addition to the above guidance, we recommend that the
environmental documentation for this protect include the following in sufficient detail to
facilitate a thorough review of the action.
A clearly defined and detailed purpose and need for the proposed project,

SUBJECT NCDOT Bridge Replacements in Johnston, Moore, Montgomery, Brunswick,,
Bladen, Cumberland, Scotland, and Columbus counties. TIP Nos B-4165, B-
4207, B4204, B4030, B4029, B-4092, B-4274, B-4080, and B-4078.
Biologists with the N. C Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the
information provided and have the following preliminary comments on the subject project Our
comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act
(42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667d). ,
Our standard recommendations for bridge replacement projects of this scope are as
follows:
1. We generally prefer spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require
work within the stream and do not require stream channel realignment. The horizontal
and vertical clearances provided by bridges allows for human and wildlife passage
beneath the structure, does not block fish passage, and does not block navigation by
canoeists and boaters.
2. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the stream.
3. Live concrete should not be allowed to contact the water in or entering into the stream.
4 If possible, bridge supports (bents) should not be placed in the stream.

5. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, they should be removed back to
original ground elevations immediately upon the completion of the project. Disturbed
areas should be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and native tree species should
be planted with a spacing of not more than 10'x10'. If possible, when using temporary
structures the area should be cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain
saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and
root mat intact, allows the area to revegetate naturally and minimizes disturbed soil.
6. A clear bank (nprap free) area of at least 10 feet should remain on each side of the
steam underneath the bridge
7. In trout waters, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission reviews all U S Army
Corps of Engineers nationwide and general `404' permits. We have the option of
requesting additional measures to protect trout and trout habitat and we can
recommend that the project require an individual `404' permit.
8. In streams that contain threatened or endangered species, NCDOT biologist Mr. Hal
Bain should be notified. Special measures to protect these sensitive species may be
required. NCDOT should also contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for
information on requirements of the Endangered Species Act as it relates to the project.
9. In streams that are used by anadromous fish, the NCDOT official policy entitled
"Stream Crossing Guidelines for Anadromous Fish Passage (May 12, 1997)" should
be followed
10 In areas with significant fisheries for sunfish, seasonal exclusions may also be
recommended.
11. Sedimentation and erosion control measures sufficient to protect aquatic resources
must be implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities. Structures should be
maintained regularly, especially following rainfall events.
12. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil
within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control.
13. All work in or adjacent to stream waters should be conducted in a dry work area.
Sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, or other diversion structures should be used
where possible to prevent excavation in flowing water.
14: Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in stream channels in
order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other
pollutants into streams.
15. Only clean, sediment-free rock should be used as temporary fill (causeways), and
should be removed without excessive disturbance of the natural stream bottom when
construction is completed.
16 During subsurface investigations, equipment should be inspected daily and
maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels, lubricants,
hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
If corrugated metal pipe arches, reinforced concrete pipes, or concrete box culverts are
• used:
Bridge Memo

1 The culvert must be designed to allow for aquatic life and fish passage. Generally, the
culvert or pipe invert should be buried at least 1 foot below the natural streambed
(measured from the natural thalweg depth). If multiple barrels are required, barrels
other than the base flow barrel(s) should be placed on or near stream bankfi l or
floodplain bench elevation (similar to Lyonsfield design). These should be
reconnected to floodplain benches as appropriate. This may be accomplished by
uttlmng sills on the upstream and downstream ends to restrict or divert flow to the
base flow barrel(s) Silled barrels should be filled with sediment so as not to cause
noxious or mosquito breeding conditions. Sufficient water depth should be provided
m the base flow barrel(s) during low flows to accommodate fish movement. If
culverts are longer than 40-50 linear feet, alternating or notched baffles should be
installed in a manner that mimics existing stream pattern. This should enhance
aquatic life passage: 1) by depositing sediments in the barrel, 2) by maintaining
channel depth and flow regimes, and 3) by providing resting places for fish and other
aquatic organisms. In essence, base flow barrel(s) should provide a continuum of
water depth and channel width without substantial modifications of velocity.
2. If multiple pipes or cells are used, at least one pipe or box should be designed to
remain dry during normal flows to allow for wildlife passage.
3. Culverts or pipes should be situated along the existing channel alignment whenever
possible to avoid channel realignment. Widening the stream channel must be avoided.
Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases
water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and
disrupts aquatic life passage
4. Rnprap should not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed
in a manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures
should be professionally designed, sized, and installed.
In most cases, we prefer the replacement of the existing structure at the same location
with road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour should be designed and
located to avoid wetland impacts, minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing
stream banks. If the structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure should be removed
and the approach fills removed from the 100-year floodplain. Approach fills should be removed
down to the natural ground elevation. The area should be stabilized with grass and planted Rnth
native tree species If the area reclaimed was previously wetlands, NCDOT should restore the
area to wetlands If successful, the site maybe utilized as mitigation for the subject projector
other projects in the watershed.
Project specific comments:
1. B4165, Johnston County, Bridge No. 89 over Sassarixa Swamp on SR 1162. We
recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge. Standard recommendations apply.
2. B-4207, Moore County, Bridge No. 43 over McLendon Creek on NC 22-24-27. We
recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge. McLendon Creek contains habitat

7. B-4274, Scotland County, Bridge No. 14 over Big Shoe Heel Creek on NC 144. We
recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge, A significant fishery for sunfish exists at
this site, therefore we request in in-water work moratorium for sunfish from April 1 to

8 B-4080, Columbus County, Bridge No. 148 over Pine Log Swamp on SR 1437. We
recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge. Standard recommendations apply.
9 B-4078, Columbus County, Bridge No. 10 over Waccamaw River Overflow on NC 130.
We recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge. Standard recommendations apply
NCDOT should routinely minimize adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources in the
vicinity of bridge replacements. Restoring previously disturbed floodplam benches should
narrow and deepen streams previously widened and shallowed during initial bridge installation.
NCDOT should install and maintain sedimentation control measures throughout the life of the
project and prevent wet concrete from contacting water in or entering into these streams.
Replacement of bridges with spanning structures of some type, as opposed to pipe or box
culverts, is recommended in most cases. Spanning structures allow wildlife passage along
streambanks and reduce habitat fragmentation.
If you need further assistance or information on NCWRC concerns regarding bridge
replacements, please contact me at [phone]. Thank you for the opportunity to review and
comment on these projects. -

We are unable to comment on the potential effect of these projects on cultural historic resources until we receive
further information
Please forward a labeled 7.5 minute USGS quadrangle map for each of the above projects clearly indicating the
project vicinity, location, and termini In addition, please include the name of the quadrangle map
For all projects except B-4207 in Moore County, there are no known archaeological sites within the proposed
project area. Based on our knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any archaeological resources that may be
eligible for conclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will be affected by the project. We, therefore,
recommend that no archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project
Due to the on site detours to the north or south of B-4207, Moore County, we recommend that a
comprehensive survey be conducted by an experienced archaeologist. The survey will identify and evaluate the
significance of archaeological remains that may be damaged or destroyed by the proposed project Potential
effects on unknown resources must be assessed prior to the initiation of construction activities Off site detours
generally preclude the need for an archaeological survey of a bridge to be rebuilt on the same alignment

Moore County, Federal Aid Project No BRSTP-22(1), State Project No 8 1561101, TIP
No B-4207"
At present time Moore County Schools Transportation Department has seven buses that
travel the above mention bridge I am assuming that the detour would be Myrick Rd and
Kelly Plantation Road If tlus is the case, we will be able to cope with the detour with
minimal disruption. It will cause an additional 15-20 minutes for our bus routes, which
will require additional funds to pay our drivers It would help out tremendously to plan
this project to start at the beginning of May.
Thank you for allowing Moore County Schools to respond to your planning. If I can be
of further assistance, please contact me at 910/947-5481
Sincerely,
t1?
