Subject: Application for Section 404 Nationwide Permit 23, Section 401 Water
Quality Certification, and Neuse Riparian Buffer Authorization for
the proposed replacement of Bridge No. 79 over Gum Swamp Creek on
SR 1544 in Lenoir County. Federal Aid Project No. BRZ-1544(3), Debit
$240 from WBS Element 33776.1.1, TIP No. B-4570.
Please find enclosed the PCN form, permit drawings, and half-size plan sheets for the
above referenced project. A Categorical Exclusion (CE) was completed for this project
on February 4, 2008, and distributed shortly thereafter. Additional copies are available
upon request. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to
replace existing Bridge No. 79 over Gum Swamp Creek on SR 1544 in Lenoir County.
The project involves replacement of the existing 61-foot structure with a 70-foot long
bridge at approximately the same location. The proposed bridge will be a single span
cored slab structure. There will be 7 feet of permanent impacts to Gum Swamp Creek
and 0.09 acre of permanent impacts to its adjacent wetlands. There will be 4,798 total
square feet of impacts to Neuse Riparian Buffers, with 3,929 square feet of impacts in
Zone 1 and 869 square feet of impacts in Zone 2. Traffic will be detoured off-site, on
surrounding roads, during construction.
Please note that this project is an accelerated bridge project on NCDOT's Maintenance of
Effort list. The NCDOT Administration has deemed these projects highest priority. This
project calls for a letting date of March 16, 2010 and a review date of January 26, 2010;
however, the let date may advance as additional funding becomes available.

Regulatory Approvals
Section 404 Permit: All aspects of this project are being processed by the Federal Highway
Administration as a "Categorical Exclusion" in accordance with 23 CFR 771.115(b). The
NCDOT requests that these activities be authorized by a Nationwide Permit 23 (72 CFR;
11092-11198, March 12, 2007).
Section 401 Water Quality Certification: We anticipate 401 General Certification number
3701 will apply to this project. All general conditions of the Water Quality Certifications will
be met. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H, Section .0500(a), we are providing five copies
of this application to the NCDWQ for their approval.
Neuse Riparian Buffer Authorization: NCDOT is requesting a Neuse Riparian Buffer
Authorization from the NCDWQ.
A copy of this application will be posted on the NCDOT website at:

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Project: 33776.1.1
TIP No. B-4570
Lenoir County
Date: 10/27/2009
Hydraulics Project Manager: James R. Rice, P.E. (HDR),
Marshal Clawson, P.E. (NCDOT Hydraulics Unit)
ROADWAY DESCRIPTION
The project B-4570 consists of constructing a new bridge 70 feet long to replace the
existing bridge #79 in Lenoir County on SR 1544 over Gum Swamp. The total project
length is 0.085 miles. The project creates impacts to Gum Swamp, which is located in the
Neuse River Basin. The project drainage system consists only of deck drains.
Jurisdictional Stream: Gum Swamp
ENVIRONMENTAL DESCRIPTION
The project is located within the Neuse River Basin and Lenoir County which is not a
CAMA county. Gum Swamp has been classified as a jurisdictional stream and therefore
riparian buffer rules apply. There are ponds directly up and down stream of the proposed
crossing. These ponds both show up on the USGS and soils maps, so they will be
protected by buffers as well.
There are numerous beaver impoundments in the area which have backed up water. On
the North West corner, the surface water comes all the way to the toe of the existing
roadway fill slope and roughly follows the tree line heading North away from the project
area. A top of bank was estimated in the field and plotted on the plans. This estimated
top of bank is what the Buffer Zones were based on. Since the surface water comes all
the way to the toe of existing fill slope on the North West comer, there will not be any
buffer impacts to this quadrant.
In order to maintain existing drainage patterns, a lateral ditch was required on the South
West corner. This ditch ties back into the existing drainage ditch before reaching the
buffer for Gum Swamp.
There are wetland areas that will be impacted by the proposed project. Wetland impacts
have been reduced to a minimum by keeping roadway fill slopes at 3:1. At the bridge, a
single span bridge will be utilized to eliminate the need for piers in the channel. The only
permanent impacts to the Gum Swamp surface waters will be a small impact due to the
spillthrough rip rap and a small area due to roadway fill. There will be a small temporary
surface water impact due to the removal of the existing pier.
The existing structure has deck drains that discharge directly into the surface water.
Deck drains have been added to the proposed structure. The deck drains on the proposed
structure will not discharge directly into the surface water, but they will discharge on the
spill-through rip rap under the bridge. Deck drains were required due to the length of the
structure, the structure profile's low gradient, and width of shoulder.
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND MAJOR STRUCTURES
The primary goal of Best Management Practices (BMPs) is to prevent degradation of the
states surface waters by the location, construction and operation of the highway system.
The BMPs are activities, practices and procedures taken to prevent or reduce stormwater
pollution and should be used whenever possible.
The BMP measures used on this project to reduce stormwater impacts are:
• Bridge Deck Drains have been placed so they do not directly discharge into
Gum Swamp.
