FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - N.C. DOT/McLEAN CONTRACTING COMPANY/
A & N.C. RAILROAD, CRAVEN COUNTY
PAGE #2
9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: In February of 1988, DCM issued DOT
a permit (#39-88) authorizing the repair and replacement of
the A & NC Railroad swing span bridge over the Trent River,
between James City and New Bern, Craven County, NC.
Replacement of the entire trestle within the existing
alignment was judged to be exempt from further permit
requirements. Today, DOT's contractor, McLean Contracting
Company, is in the process of replacing the railroad
trestle. In order to gain access to the New Bern side of
the shoreline, McLean proposes to excavate a construction
channel measuring 120' long x 60' wide to an overall depth
of -4' NWL. Water depths within the project alignment range
from 1' to 32' deep NWL. The proposed excavation will allow
water access by the construction barge to the New Bern
shoreline next to the Sheraton Hotel property. The spoil
material generated by this excavation will be some 500 cu.
yds. of sandy material. The spoil will be loaded directly
into an attending spoil barge and delivered across the river
to the Ramada Inn property. There, the spoil will be
unloaded and stockpiled in an open field landward of the
hotel.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: The proposed excavation will be
accomplished by the clam shell bucket method. The
excavation should pose no obvious impacts to the 'SC' water
quality in this section of the Trent River. The proposed
channel at an overall water depth of -4' will connect to the
natural 4' water contours of the Trent River. The spoil
disposal site measuring 100' x 100' appears to be adequate
to the task of containing and retaining the spoil. No marsh
grass or submerged aquatic vegetation will be involved with
the proposed project.
