Secretary
The North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (DCM) has reviewed your scoping
request and performed site reconnaissance to evaluate the proposed projects. We appreciate
the opportunity to provide information relevant to the potential permitting of the proposed
project by our agency.
Based on the information provided and site reconnaissance by DCM's Transportation Field
Representative for NCDOT's Divisions 2 and 3, we have provided comments on the proposed
projects below.
B-4414 Beaufort Replace Bridge No. 43 on US 264 over Pungo Creek, and
B-4709 Beaufort Replace Bridge No. 14 on SR 1932 over Branch of Durham Creek
It appears that the following Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs) will be impacted: Public
Trust Area and Public Trust Shorelines. Therefore, a CAMA permit will be required prior to
the commencement of construction. The scope of each project will determine whether a
CAMA General Permit or Major Development Permit is necessary to authorize the work.
NCDOT is encouraged to coordinate with DCM during the project development process to
determine the appropriate permitting requirements for the projects. DCM recommends that the
AEC impacts and the CAMA permitting requirements be addressed in the Categorical
Exclusion (CE) document.
B-4433 Beaufort Replace Bridge No. 40 on SR 1932 over Durham Creek
It appears that no Areas of Environmental Concern (AECs) will be impacted by this proposed
project. Therefore, a Coastal Area Management Act (LAMA) permit will not be required.
Although not anticipated, should the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) require an
Individual Permit, the NCDOT must certify to the USACE and DCM that the proposed project
