Additional copies are available upon request.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), Division of Highways, in consultation
with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), proposes to replace Bridge No. 46 (south bound
lane) in Harnett County. The project involves replacement of the existing functionally obsolete and
structurally deficient 808-foot bridge with a new 640-foot bridge. The new bridge will feature two
12-foot lanes with 4-foot paved shoulders on the southeast side of the bridge and curb and gutter
with an approximate 5-foot sidewalk on the northwest side. The south approach will be
approximately 1,565 feet long and the north approach will be approximately 1,420 feet long.
Proposed permanent impacts to riverine wetlands consist of 0.08 acre for fill, and 0.13 acre of
r-cbnnized clearing, T'__nrrnent irn D%Crc to-strenm.e cr`nsist of 74? feet anrd C9 Fee! 'l r , Ink

1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a . Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The proposed bridge the proposed bridge will be at approximately the same grade as the existing structure; No more than
original number of bents (5) will be located in the water and they will be aligned with the bents of the existing northbound
bridge; BMP's for sediment and erosion control will be applied; an in-water work moratorium for anadromous fish from
February 15 through June 15 will be adhered to.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
3:1 fill slopes in jurisdictional areas where practicable; NCDOT's Best Management Practices (BMP's) for Bridge
Demolition, Removal, and Protection of Surfacewaters; Temporary work causeway will not block more that 50% of the
river's width at anytime and will be constructed using class II rip rap with fabric underneath to facilitate removal of the
causeway; Temporary work causeway will be two feet above normal water level, ten feet below the ten year flood stage
height, to allow for water to over-flow in the event of modest level fluctuations; existing bents will be cut off at or near
current bed elevation.

Stream Mitigation Plan
TIP B-4138
September 2009
The North Carolina Department of Transportation will perform on-site mitigation for
stream impacts associated with TIP B-4138 on US 401/ NC 210. The mitigation site
contains approximately 608 linear feet of stream restoration and occurs within the right of
way located adjacent to NC 210 near Station 40+00.
NCDOT plans to restore 608 linear feet of stream by relocating the stream west of the
existing location, establishing a stable channel and replanting the buffer along the
unnamed tributary that leads to the Cape Fear River. This site is proposed to offset 608
feet of stream impacts associated with the road project.
Existing Conditions
This project is located in the northeastern region of Harnett County on NC 210 about 0.5
miles north of Lillington NC. NCDOT plans to replace both north and south bound
bridges over the Cape Fear River. The stream flows southerly through an old pond north
of the Cape Fear River that no longer exists due to the failing of the dam. The existing
channel below the pond dam seems to have been straightened in the past and is
approximately 3 to 4 ft wide at the bottom and approximately 8 to 10 foot wide at the top
of the bank. Below the dam, the channel is incised, degraded, and has unstable stream
banks. These conditions are causing silt and sediment from bank erosion to enter the
stream system which flows directly into the Cape Fear River. The riparian area adjacent
to the stream on the western bank is dense woody vegetation. On the eastern side, the
buffer is currently dominated by herbaceous species with very sparse woody vegetation.
Proposed Conditions
The proposed stream channel design involves relocating 608 feet of the stream west of
the existing location with the appropriate dimensions, pattern and profile. The design
proposes a C type channel with a 0.66 percent slope and a cross sectional area of 18 sq/ft.
This information is shown in detail on the morphological table included in Appendix A.
The proposed design includes constructing a new channel, applying the appropriate cross
sectional areas and installing grade control structures. The design parameters were
verified using the NC Regional Curves also found in Appendix A. A minimum 50 ft
buffer along the western side of the channel will be planted. A minimum of 30 ft buffer
will be planted on the eastern side of the channel to the limits of the proposed fill of the
new bridge preventing it from having the extra 2011 of buffer. The following species will
be planted on the banks and buffers: sycamore (Plantanus occidentalus), river birch
(Betula nigro), white oak (Quercus alba), and yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera).
Monitoring
NCDOT proposes to monitor the restoration site by visual observation for channel and
bank stability and by, photo documentation for the survival and the density of the
vegetation. NCDOT will monitor the site for a minimum of three years or until the site is
deemed successful. The USACE stream quality assessment forms used to evaluate
success criteria are shown in Appendix A.
The mitigation site was purchased fee simple and will be held in perpetuity by NCDOT

Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D.

Project Development and Environmental Analysis
1598 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1598
Dear Dr. Thorpe:
This letter is in response to your letter of February 14, 2006 which provided the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service) with the biological determination of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) that the replacement of Bridge No. 46 on US 401/42 2 over Cape Fear
River in Hamett County (TIP No. B-4138) may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the
federally endangered Cape Fear shiner (Notropis mekistocholas). These comments are provided
in accordance with section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C.1531-1543).
During an on-site meeting held on January 18, 2006 between Mr. Gary Jordan (Service biologist)
and NCDOT staff, several conservation measures were discussed and agreed upon by both
parties. The commitments are listed below:
• Bridge No. 46 will be replaced in place. Traffic will be detoured onto the adjacent
bridge.
• Bridge No. 46 will be taken down in such a manner that no part of it will be allowed to
fall into the river. BMPs for bridge demolition will be employed throughout the
demolition phase of the project.
• The existing bents for Bridge No. 46 will be cut off at or near the current river bed
elevation using a wire saw or other appropriate apparatus.
• Temporary work causeways will not block more than 50 percent of the river's width at
any time during the project.
• The temporary causeways will be constructed using class U rip rap with fabric
underneath the rock to facilitate removal of the causeway upon completion of the
Structure.
• The new bridge will have five (5) bents located in the water and these will be aligned
with the five (5) bents of the existing bridge.
• The new bridge will be constructed with a closed deck drainage system so that water does
not drain directly into the river but is diverted into detention areas at the ends of the
bridge.
0002
1/L8/u5 1LE W46 FAX [phone] USFWS-RALEIGH,NC
i
BMPs for sediment and erosion control Jill be utilized throughout all phases of
construction. .
• Prior to project let date, NCDOT's Biological Surveys Group will conduct fisheries
surveys in the two (2) tributaries (Hector Creek and Neills Creek) where the Cape Fear
shiner has been previously documented. This effort will assist in assessing the current
status of the species.
r
Based on the commitment to the conservation measures listed above, the Service concurs with
your determination that the proposed bridge replacement may affect, but is not likely to
adversely affect the Cape Fear shiner. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the
ESA have been satisfied for this species. We remind you that obligations under section 7
consultation must be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified
action that may affect listed species or critical hlitat in a manner not previously considered in
this review; (2) this action is subsequently modif ied in a manner that .vas not considered in this
review; or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by this
identified action.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to review this project. If you have any questions
regarding our response, please contact Mr. Gary Jordan at [phone] (Ext. 32).

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Project: 33490.1.1 (B-4138)
Hamett County
Project Description:
Replace Bridge #46 over the Cape Fear River on US 401. Includes structure replacement
and roadway approach work. Bridge will be relocated approximately 85' upstream of
existing bridge. The Cape Fear River is classified as WS-IV at this location. It is
downstream of the Town of Lillington intake and approximately 9 miles upstream from
the Town of Erwin intake.
Roadway Description:
The typical section will remain as a four-lane highway with divided grass median. The
median width will vary from 40' to l 10'. The length of roadway approach work will be
approximately 0.60 miles. It is proposed to use curb and gutter on the West side of the
project and grassed shoulder on the East side.
Bridbe Structure:
Bridge #46 is one of two bridges at this crossing on US 401 that span the Cape Fear
River. Existing Bridge #46 is the southbound bridge and is 16 spans, 803' in length, built
in 1958. Proposed Bridge #46 will be a 6 span, 605' bridge. This will reduce the number
of piers in the river from 9 piers to 5 piers. There will be no deck drains over the river
but they will be provided in the overbank areas. Rip rap swales will be provided along
the overbank, under the deck drains.
BMP's:
Most drainage along the project will go into grassed ditches/swales. The typical ditch
section has a 6:1 front slope with a 3:1 to 6:1 back slope. Storm drain systems will outlet
into either rip rap lined ditches/embankment or will outlet to drop box structures prior to
entering a river/stream. The rip rap lined ditches and drop structures will reduce
velocities at confluence with river/stream. Culverts located in streams (Sta 20+00 -SBL-
RT) will be buried up to I' and placed at a minimum slope of 0.3%.
Avoidance and Minimization:
Therc is a stream and wetland system located at the beginning of the project along the
West side of US 401. The fill slopes were steepened and shoulder section narrowed to
minimize impacts to the wetland and to avoid impact to the stream.
Stream Relocation:
in the Northwest quadrant of the Cape Fear River crossing an existing stream will be
impacted. The stream presently runs just parallel to the existing US 401 road fill. The
realigned bridge and roadway will cover the stream so it will be relocated just outside the
proposed roadway fill. The relocated stream will provide an improved section. The
existing stream has predominantly vertical, eroding banks with the bankfull discharge
l:a?ing little to no access to the floodplain. The relocated section will be increased in
environmental\dr swings\b A138_Drm_ tsh.dgn
