PROJECT DESCRIPTION: NC DOT proposes to replace the existing
bridge over Gales Creek. As proposed, the intertidal opening at
the MHW shoreline will be 185'1 which is 85' longer than the
intertidal opening with the existing structure. Six bridge spans
will be used, each 37.51. 20,000 sq. ft. of saltmarsh, 21,000
sq. ft of intertidal bottom and 500 sq. ft of submerged aquatic
vegetation will be filled with the new approached. 14,000 sq.
ft. of intertidal bottom will be created with the excavation of
the existing causeway.

RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OR PERMIT RESTRICTIONS: It is
recommended the intertidal opening be increased by two more spans
on the west side of the bridge. This would eliminate a
significant amount of fill, create more intertidal habitat and
enhance flushing to greater extent than proposed. Fill required
for the widening of the causeway is 2.9 times the amount that
will be removed by increasing the span. Approximately half the
fill required on the west side of the bridge could be eliminated
by adding two more spans on the west side. Mitigation was not
offered for the loss of wetland and SAV habitat. This Office
feels the impacts from the widening of the causeway should be
minimized to a greater extent than proposed. Widening of the
span would not only reduce habitat impacts but should improve
water quality in Gales Creek.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The 'revised' project plans have increased
the intertidal bridge opening from 100' (in the original
proposal) to 185' at the MHW level (buttress to buttress).
The Gales Creek bridge will be constructed similar to the
Broad Creek bridge, with 6 individual spans each 37.5' long
for a total bridge surface of 2251.
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: In order to create the increased
opening, a portion of the old causeway will be excavated.
On the west side of the bridge, an area measuring 50' x 70'
will be excavated to a depth of approximately 2.5' relative
to MLW. A similar size area on the east side of the
existing bridge will also be removed. The excavation is an
effort by DOT to enhance the tidal flushing capabilities of
Gales Creek and create shallow-water habitat. Excavation in
these two areas will not directly involve coastal wetlands
or any of the known submerged aquatic vegetation since the
existing bridge abutments are stabilized by bulkhead
construction and the SAVs are located outside of the
excavation alignment.
In addition, the increased bridge length has eliminated a
significant amount of fill in the shallow waters of Gales
Creek where the majority of the known SAVs reside. An
estimated 13,500 sq. ft. of open-water fill has been
eliminated by the increased bridge opening. Approximately
21,000 sq. ft. of intertidal habitat will now be subject to
filling. The fill requirements on coastal wetlands, at the
project site, remain basically the same at approximately
20,000 sq. ft. The vegetation in all four quadrants of the
project is dominated by saltmarsh cordgrass and black
needlerush. An estimated 11,800 cu. yds. of improved fill
will be placed below the level of the MHW shoreline creating
the new wider roadbed. Half of the projected fill operation
will take place on the north side of Hwy. 24 within the
designated Primary Nursery Area. Fill requirements on the
southwest side of the bridge may impact an area of submerged
aquatic vegetation estimated to be only 500 sq. ft. The
extent of this impact will depend on the offshore extent of
the roadway slope.
10. ANTICIPATED IIiPACTS: The proposed bridge replacement and
subsequent improvements to N.C. Hwy. 24 will greatly improve
public safety and the driveability of the highway.
Increased vertical clearance 8' under the bridge will
improve, to a limited basis, the accessibility of the upper
reaches of Gales Creek by small boats.

GALES BRIDGE
PAGE #3--
The revised bridge opening will significantly reduce the
amount of open-water fill and direct impacts on beds of
submerged aquatic vegetation. The proposed remedial
excavation associated with the increased intertidal opening
should enhance the flushing capability of Gales Creek, and
at the same time, provide some 14,000 sq. ft. of substitute
habitat. The applicant should be encouraged to employ
strong sedimentation measures around the open-water fill
requirements, particularly, in the Primary Nursery Area in
an effort to reduce potential impacts of turbidity on
juvenile fish populations.

SUBJECT: Replacement of bridges over Broad and Gales Creeks
along NC 24, Carteret County (B-1097, B-1105)
We have received a number of comments from the resource
agencies regarding the above referenced projects. Primary
concerns appear to center around hydrologic restrictions
potentially created by the causeways and appropriate
mitigation for wetland losses. The Office of Planning and
Assessment within your Department has recommended that
additional studies be conducted to investigate sedimentation
away from the channels, effects on the benthic biota, and the
potential for anoxic conditions to develop behind the
causeways (see attached 6/20/89 memo from Mr. Doug Lewis).
From our June 5, 1989 meeting, we also realize that an
acceptable mitigation program must be developed.
We hereby request that our application for a CAMA permit
be held in abeyance until further studies are conducted and
these issues can be resolved. By copy of this letter, we
request similar consideration from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers regarding 404 permit approval and from the N.C.
Division of Environmental Management for 401 Water Quality
Certification.
As a plan of action is developed, personnel from our
Planning and Research Branch will be in contact to initiate
further coordination.

DATE: June 20, 1989
Douglas G. Lewis
Director
Planning and Assessment
The Department of Natural Resources and Community
Development (NRCD) has reviewed.the Department of .
Transportation's (DOT) EA/FONSI for Bridge No. 11 over Broad
Creek and Bridge No. 23 over Gales Creek. As a result of this
review, we question whether the hydrologic study is sufficient
evidence to show there is no improvement in tidal flushing when
the length of the bridge opening is increased at each creek. In
addition, we oppose "best management practices" as appropriate
mitigation for the anticipated wetland takings.
These concerns have been brought to DOT's attention in
previous correspondence and meetings but have been dismissed as
unnecessary and too expensive. Since our last meeting with DOT
on June 5, NRCD staff members have continued to investigate and
conduct site visits. The additional information gathered has
confirmed our revious 4-4

p pose on that tidal flushing can be
improved by lengthening the bridges.

The Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF) consulted several
experts on the issue of the adequacy of tidal flushing in Broad
and Gales Creeks. The professional opinion of Dr. John Miller,
North Carolina State University (NCSU) Zoology
that causeways across tidal creeks have undoubtedlyralteredis
circulation patterns within the creeks, which would therefore
impact sedimentation, the benthic biota, and periods of
inundation. Dr. Miller is currently working with a French
scientist who has demonstrated that impedance to flow in lagoons
has produced areas prone to anoxic conditions and this is clearly
demonstrated in the benthic biota.
of sediment cores from these creeks be undertakendtohdetermineyif
anoxic conditions were created by the causeways.
Gary Evink of the Florida Department of Transportation
studied a bridge-causeway system in the Indian River, FL before
and after construction. His observations of the effect of the
causeway included wastewater loading, formation of organic sinks,
low dissolved oxygen, and sedimentation in the corner areas. He
stated that the flow in a system with causeways is in a straight
line rather than in a sheet across the system and thus there is a
tendency for "dead" areas to form.
NRCD strongly recommends further study be undertaken in
Broad and Gales Creeks to.investigate sedimentation away from the
channels, effects on the benthic biota, and the potential for
anoxic conditions to develop behind the causeways.
Until a more thorough study is conducted NRCD cannot concur
with the results or assume that the hydrologic study conducted at
NCSU adequately addresses our concerns about tidal flushing.
This document also indicates that best management practices
will be substituted as appropriate mitigative measures: This is
inconsistent with the Coastal Resources Commission's mitigation
policy and general guidelines for development in AEC's. Adopting
mitigation measures would not only comply with these laws but
would protect the aquatic vegetation recently discovered by the
Division of Coastal Management (DCM) on the west side of Gales
Creek.
According to DCM the vegetationis dominated by eel grass
and about 2500 sq. ft. would be directly displaced by the
proposed filling requirements proposed by DOT. With grass s
being a sensitive resource, on the order of Primary NurserybAreas
in terms of resource productivity, DCM continues to find these
projects inconsistent with the CAMA use standards for
development.

In conclusion, this Department feels that before these
bridge replacements are allowed, adequate assessment of their

a
coF4_a?fJCObaa?
impacts on our resources must be made. Concerns revealed by our
review show that the FONSI is not warranted in this instance.
Before such a determination can be accepted outstanding issues
previously discussed must be addressed by amending the EA/FONSI
to support such a finding.

Dear Mr. Parker:

Reference the application of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation, Division of Highways, for a Department of the Army permit to
place fill material in the waters/wetlands of Gales Creek associated with the
replacement of Bridge No. 23 on North Carolina Highway 24 in Carteret County,
North Carolina.
The Federal agencies have completed review of the proposal as presented by
the application and your field investigation report. By letters of July 10
and 14, 1989 (copies enclosed), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and
the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) recommended that the work as
proposed not be authorized. The agencies object to the placement of fill
material in 0.5 acre of salt marsh, 0.8 acre of shallow subtidal habitat and a
0.06 acre area of eelgrass within this primary nursery area. Also, concerns
were expressed regarding the effects of the causeway/bridge lengths on the
hydrology of Broad Creek. At present, we support the recommendations of the
review agencies.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Hugh Heine, telephone (919)

SUBJECT: North Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) -
Bridge Replacement Projects for Bridges #11 and #23
Over Broad and Gales Creek, in Carteret County
The North Carolina Coastal Federation has reviewed the Finding
of No Significant Impact (FONSI) in regard to this bridge
replacement project, the Major CAMA Permit Application to the
Division of Coastal Management, the 404 Permit Application to
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the application for the
401 Water Quality Certification submitted to the Division of
Environmental Management. We offer the following public
comments to be included in the permit application files:
(1) The FONSI ignores significant public comments that
were made at the public hearing in regard to this
project and a petition signed by over 200 people.
DOT never did any follow-up with the people that
attended the public hearing nor did it respond to the
citizens that signed the petition despite their
requests to receive up-dates as to the status of this
project.

(2) The Coastal Federation endorses comments that have
been made by both federal and state environmental
review agencies in regard to the need to lengthen the
new bridges to 300 feat. Private developers would 47-
never be allowed to fill open water and seagrass
habitat as DOT proposes. DOT should set an example
with this project by avoiding all unnecessary losses
of wetlands and by attempting to restore water
quality in these creeks by removing existing fill

material that serves to dike the openings of these
creeks.
(3) A state environmental impact study should be prepared
for this project as was requested by citizens who
attended the public hearing. The discovery of
eelgrass habitat at the Gales Creek bridge by Jim
Mercer on June 14 is a clear example that the FONSI
did not adequately evaluate the impacts of this
project. The circulation study conducted as part of
the FONSI is based on numerous assumptions with very
little actual data or site observations. The
comments submitted by the NC Division of Marine
Fisheries is further evidence that the circulation
study contained in the FONSI is inadequate.
Furthermore, it is vital that all planned highway
improvements along Highway 24 between Swansboro and
Morehead City be considered at the same time so that
the least environmentally and socially disruptive
project can be designed before major financial
commitments are made to the present route. The
piecemeal process that DOT is currently using to
evaluate impacts of improving Highway 24 do not allow
the NC Division of Coastal Management or NC Division
of Environmental Management to adequately consider
cumulative impacts of these highway improvements.
Given newly ratified legislation enacted by the NC
General Assembly which requires state agencies to
consider cumulative impacts of development in their
permit reviews, a full Environmental Impact Study
should be conducted as part of this public works
project.
(4) A public hearing on the 401 Certification for these
bridges should be held. There has already been
significant public concern expressed about this
project. DOT has failed to provide meaningful
opportunity for public comment. The Division of
Environmental Management needs to hold a public
hearing on the 401 Water Quality Certification to
gather historical water quality information about
these creeks that is only known by local residents
who lived near and fished them prior to construction
of the causeways in 1942.
Thank you for considering these comments. I request notice of
all modifications to the permit application that result from
the review process and immediate notice of any final permit
decisions.

Dear Dr. Goode:
' T
,
The Wilmington Regional Office received your CAMA
application on June 19, 1989. A preliminary review indicates
that a 401 Water Quality Certification will be required from our
Division due to the proposed wetland fill. A 401 certification
is required prior to issuance of a CAMA permit.
Because of the many essential functions wetlands provide,
including purification of surface and groundwater, any loss of
wetlands as the result of filling activities is viewed by this
office as degradation of water quality, and potentially, a loss
of these essential functions wetlands provide.
Your project, as proposed, will result in the loss of 20,000
sq. ft. of wetland areas. As a result, this office is requesting
the following additional information be submitted within 30 days
upon receipt of this letter: an alternate proposal that will
eliminate or reduce the proposed fill in wetland areas; or submit
an explanation of why such reductions are not possible and what
mitigating factors we should consider.

WATER QUALITY SECTION
OPERA.710NS BRANCH
Enclosed is the application of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation, Division of Highways, for Department of the Army authorization
and a State Water Quality Certification to place fill material in the
waters/wetlands of Gales Creek associated with the replacement of Bridge
No. 23 on N.C. Highway 24 in Carteret County, North Carolina. Your receipt of
this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in
accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification may be required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same
law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the
certification has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, 60 days after receipt
of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State action.
Therefore, if you have not acted on the request by June 17, 1989, the District
Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Hugh Heine, telephone (919)
