4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
Project B-5534 proposes to replace Bridge No. 300082, which carries NC 11/111 over Burn
Coat Creek. The project proposes to construct a new bridge with two 12-foot travel lanes and
8-foot paved shoulders immediately to the north of the edsting structure. Traffic will be
maintained on the wasting bridge during construction. Following construction, the edsting
bridge will be removed.
The area surrounding the bridge is rural. Undeveloped forestland is in the immediate vicinity of
the bridge and farms are located around the area. NC 11/111 is an important connection in
eastern Duplin County, carrying buses, farm equipment, and other industrial traffic.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
r Yes r No r Unknown
4d. Attach an 8 1/2 X 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the USGS topographic map indicating the location of the project site. (for DWR)
4e. Attach an 8 1/2 X 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the published County NRCS Soil Survey map depicting the project site. (for DWR)
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
7.4
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
458

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the proposed project is to replace a structurally deficient bridge. Bridge No.
300082 has a sufficiency rating of 13.44 out of 100. Additionally, the most recent bridge
inspection rated the substructure a 3 out of 9. Being structurally deficient does not mean that
the bridge is unsafe, but does mean the bridge is in need of repair or replacement. As a bridge
ages, the cost of repairs and continued maintenance necessitates the need for replacement.
The current bridge was constructed in 1950, and is nearing the end of its useful life.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The existing bridge, overall length OAL = 65' and width 30' will be replaced with a bridge having an OAL = 105' and width = 30'. The new bridge is longer than the existing bridge to
accommodate the spatial difference between the previous bridge location to the new location. The proposed bridge and roadway improvements minimized the existing overtopping
condition and maintain a minimal transition between existing and new roadway. Runoff from the bridge is captured on the low side of the bridge in shoulder berm gutter and traffic
bearing 1 GI's on either side of the road. A hydraulic analysis on Burn Coat Creek was performed to assess the potential flood level increases associated With this project. Based on this
analysis, the proposed bridge replacement project was shown to have a maximum base flood level increase of 0.1' after the bridge and a maximum decrease in base flood elevation of
0.1' before the bridge. This project qualifies for an MOA Type 2d. Additionally, rock plating has been used on slopes of 1.5:1 to minimize impacts to the existing wetlands. Standard road
and bridge building equipment such as trucks, dozers and cranes will be used.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Three alternatives were examined during project development (see pp. 3-4 in the CE document). An offsite detour was ruled out because the
secondary roads on the detour route would not be adequate to carry the primary route traffic currently using NC 11/111. The preferred was selected
due to anticipated costs and impacts. Use of a temporary on -site detour was considered but ruled out due to potential wetland impacts, cost,
construction time, and the likelihood the temporary fill would permanently impact the wetland anyway due to compaction. (p. 4 of the CE).
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
In an effort to minimize wetland impacts, roadway slope -stakes were reduced from 2:1 slopes to 1.5:1 slopes.
