This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the date of this letter. Landowners or affected parties
that dispute a determination made by the DWQ or Delegated Local Authority that a surface water exists and that
it is subject to the buffer rule may request a determination by the Director. A request for a determination by the
Director shall be referred to the Director in writing clo Cyndi Karoly, DWQ Wetlands1401 Unit, 2321 Crabtree
Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260. Individuals that dispute a determination by the DWQ or Delegated Local
Authority that "exempts" a surface water from the buffer rule may ask for an ad judicatory hearing. You must
act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. Applicants are hereby notified that the 60-day statutory
appeal time does not start until the affected party (including downstream and adjacent landowners) is notified of
this decision. DWQ recommends that the applicant conduct this notification in order to be certain that third
party appeals are made in a timely manner. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, N. C. 27699-6714. This determination is final and binding unless you ask for a hearing
within 60 days.
The (owner/future owners) should notify the Division of Water Quality (including any other Local, State, and
Federal Agencies) of this decision concerning any future correspondences regarding the subject property (stated
above). This project may require a Section 4041401 Permit for the proposed activity. Any inquiries should be
directed to the Division of Water Quality (Central Office) at (919)-733-1786, and the US Army Corp of Engineers
(Raleigh Regulatory Field Office) at (919)-876-8441.

MEMORANDUM
To: Melba McGee
From: John E. Hennessy
Subject: Scoping comments on the proposed widening of SR 1370 (Tryon Road) to multi-lanes from US 70-401
(Wilmington Street) to west of Bridge Number 259 and replace Bridge Number 259 over the Norfolk
Southern Railroad in Wake County, Federal Aid Project No. BRSTP-1370(4), State Project No. 8.2407201,
TIP U-4432, DENR No. 04-0117
Reference your correspondence dated October 17, 2004 in which you requested comments for the referenced project.
Preliminary analysis of the project reveals the potential for multiple impacts to perennial streams and jurisdictional
wetlands as described below.
Stream Name River Basin Stream Classification(s) Stream Index Number
UT Swift Creek Neuse (030304) WS III, NSW CA 27-43-(5.5)
Further investigations at a higher resolution should be undertaken to verify the presence of other streams and/or
jurisdictional wetlands in the area. In the event that any jurisdictional areas are identified, the Division of Water
Quality requests that NCDOT consider the following environmental issues for the proposed project:
A. At this time, the Division of Water Quality has some concerns about the alternatives being considered for this
project, in particular, the need for a new location segment. We recommend that the environmental document
evaluate a full range of alternatives for this project including an upgrade existing alternative for the entire length
of the project. Moreover, while we agree that developing new location alternatives (as part of the full range of
alternatives) is appropriate, more than one new location alternative that attempts to optimize the impacts
between the human and nature environment should be developed.
B. Due to the presence of a stream on the WSIII classified waters, and that the impacted stream is a tributary to
Swift Creek, NCDOT will need to strictly adhere to sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices as
described for High Quality Waters entitled "Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds".
C. The document should provide a detailed and itemized presentation of the proposed impacts to wetlands and
streams with corresponding mapping.
D. There should be a discussion on mitigation plans for unavoidable impacts. If mitigation is required, it is
preferable to present a conceptual (if not finalized) mitigation plan with the environmental documentation.
While the NCDWQ realizes that this may not always be practical, it should be noted that for projects requiring
mitigation, appropriate mitigation plans will be required prior to issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification.

GQ `C
E. DOT should the potential for the installation of hazardous spill catch basins on this project. The number of catch
basins installed should be determined by the design of the bridge, so that runoff would enter said basin(s) rather
than flowing directly into the stream.
F. If applicable, DOT should not install the bridge bents in the creek, to the maximum extent practicable.
G. Wetland and stream impacts should be avoided (including sediment and erosion control structures/measures) to
the maximum extent practical. If this is not possible, alternatives that minimize wetland impacts should be
chosen. Mitigation for unavoidable impacts will be required by DWQ for impacts to wetlands in excess of one
acre and/or to streams in excess of 150 linear feet.
H. Borrow/waste areas should not be located in wetlands. It is likely that compensatory mitigation will be required
if wetlands are impacted by waste or borrow.
I. DWQ prefers replacement of bridges with bridges. However, if the new structure is to be a culvert, it should be
countersunk to allow unimpeded fish and other aquatic organisms passage through the crossing.
J. If foundation test borings are necessary; it should be noted in the document. Geotechnical work is approved
under General 401 Certification Number 3027/Nationwide Permit No. 6 for Survey Activities.
K. In accordance with the NCDWQ Wetlands Rules { 15A NCAC 211:0506(b)(6) }, mitigation will be required for
impacts of greater than 150 linear feet to any single perennial stream. In the event that mitigation becomes
required, the mitigation plan should be designed to replace appropriate lost functions and values. In accordance
with the NCDWQ Wetlands Rules 115A NCAC 211.0506 (h)(3) }, the Wetland Restoration Program may be
available for use as stream mitigation.
L. The application for a 401 Water Quality Certification will need to specifically address the proposed methods for
stormwater management. More specifically, stormwater should not be permitted to discharge directly into the
creek. Instead, stormwater should be designed to discharge through riparian buffers as diffuse flow at non-
erosive velocities.
M. While the use of National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps and soil surveys is a useful office tool, their inherent
inaccuracies require that qualified personnel perform onsite wetland and stream delineations prior to permit
approval.
N. The NCDOT is reminded that they will need to plan, design, and construct their project so that they comply with
all the Neuse River Rules. Issuance of the 401 Water Quality Certification is contingent upon adherence to the
Neuse Rules.
0. An analysis of cumulative and secondary impacts anticipated as a result of this project is required. However, at
this time, we do not believe that an extensive quantitative assessment is warranted.

Project Development and Environmental Analysis
1548 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1548
Dear Dr. Thorpe:
This letter is in response to your request for comments from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) on the potential environmental impacts of the proposed widening and realignment of a
portion of SR 1370 (Tryon Road) from US 70-401 (Wilmington Street) to west of Bridge No.
259 and replacement of Bridge No. 259 on SR 1370 over Norfolk Southern Railway in Wake
County, North Carolina (TIP No. U-4432). These comments provide scoping information in
accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and
section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).
An October 22, 2003 field inspection by Mr. Gary Jordan of my staff revealed that most of the
project area is young or early successional, mixed hardwood/pine forest. The only stream
observed in the project area was a small, intermittent or possibly ephemeral stream. The
National Wetland inventory map does not indicate the presence of any wetlands, and no wetlands
were observed during Mr. Jordan's brief inspection. However, a more detailed inspection should
be conducted by trained personnel. It appears that the project will impact some terrestrial
wildlife habitat; however, the value of this habitat has been somewhat degraded by the rapidly
encroaching development from all sides.
For this proposed project the Service recommends the following general conservation measures
to avoid or minimize environmental impacts to fish and wildlife resources:
1. Wetland and forest impacts should be avoided and minimized to the maximum extent
practical. Areas exhibiting high biodiversity or ecological value important to the
watershed or region should be avoided. Proposed highway projects should be aligned
along or adjacent to existing roadways, utility corridors or other previously disturbed
areas in order to minimize habitat loss and fragmentation. Highway shoulder and median
widths should be reduced through wetland areas;
2. If unavoidable wetland impacts are proposed, every effort should be made to identify
compensatory mitigation sites in advance. Project planning should include a detailed
compensatory mitigation plan for offsetting unavoidable wetland impacts. Opportunities
to protect mitigation areas in perpetuity via conservation easements, land trusts or by
other means should be explored at the outset;
3. Activities within designated riparian buffers should be avoided or minimized.
There are four federally-protected species listed for Wake County: the bald eagle (Haliaeetus
leucocephalus), red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta
heterodon) and Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii). The project area does not provide any
habitat for these species with the possible exception of Michaux's sumac. Information about the
habitat for this species can be found at our web site, h=:/endan9ered.fws.gov/. If suitable
habitat occurs within the project vicinity for Michaux's sumac, a growing season survey should
be conducted to determine presence or absence. All survey documentation must include survey
methodologies and results.
We reserve the right to review any federal permits that maybe required for this project, at the
public notice stage. Therefore, it is important that resource agency coordination occur early in
the planning process in order to resolve any conflicts that may arise and minimize delays in
project implementation. In addition to the above guidance, we recommend that the
environmental documentation for this project include the following in sufficient detail to
facilitate a thorough review of the action:
1. A clearly defined and detailed purpose and need for the proposed project, supported by
tabular data, if available, and including a discussion of the project's independent utility;
2. A description of the proposed action with an analysis of all alternatives being considered,
including the upgrading of existing roads and a "no action" alternative;
3. A description of the fish and wildlife resources, and their habitats, within the project
impact area that may be directly or indirectly affected;
4. The extent and acreage of waters of the U.S., including wetlands, that are to be impacted
by filling, dredging, clearing, ditching, or draining. Acres of wetland impact should be
differentiated by habitat type based on the wetland classification scheme of the National
Wetlands Inventory (NWI). Wetland boundaries should be determined by using the 1987
Co s of En ineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and verified by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers;
5. The anticipated environmental impacts, both temporary and permanent, that would be
likely to occur as a direct result of the proposed project. The assessment should also
include the extent to which the proposed project would result in secondary impacts to
natural resources, and how this and similar projects contribute to cumulative adverse
effects;
6. Design features and construction techniques which would be employed to avoid or
minimize the fragmentation or direct loss of wildlife habitat;
7. Design features, construction techniques, or any other mitigation measures which would
be employed at wetland crossings and stream channel relocations to avoid or
minimize impacts to waters of the US; and,
8. If unavoidable wetland or stream impacts are proposed, project planning should include a
detailed compensatory mitigation plan for offsetting the unavoidable impacts.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this project. Please continue to advise us
during the progression of the planning process, including your official determination of the
impacts of this project. If you have any questions regarding our response, please contact Mr.
Gary Jordan at [phone], ext. 32.

Replace Bridge No. 259 on SR 1370 over Norfolk Southern Railway
Wake County, Division 5
Federal Aid Project No. BRSTP-1370(4)
State Project No. 8.2407201 (U-4432)
The Project Development and Environmental Analysis Branch is initiating an environmental
study for the proposed improvements of SR 1370 (Tryon Road) from US 70-401 (Wilmington
Street) to West of Bridge No. 259 in Raleigh. This project is included in the 2004-2010 North
Carolina Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The preliminary cost estimate for this
project is $6,000,000 for construction. Attached is a vicinity map that illustrates the project's
limits.
The purpose of this project is to increase the traffic carrying capacity and safety of Tryon Road
and to replace a functionally obsolete Bridge No. 259 over Norfolk Southern Rail. The project
includes the relocation of a portion of Tryon Road east of the railroad in order to address the
poor horizontal curvature of the existing facility.
Tryon Road is designated as a major thoroughfare in the Capital Area MPO Thoroughfare Plan
and as a minor urban arterial in the North Carolina Statewide Functional Classification System.
The project area has a posted speed limit of 45 miles per hour.
The current year Average Daily Traffic (ADT) utilizing Tryon Road is estimated to be between
14,200 to 15,800 vehicles per day (vpd). For the design year 2030, the estimated traffic volumes
on Tryon Road will range from 28,800 to 31,600 vpd. Truck traffic is estimated to make up
eight percent of the daily traffic.

The project is located within Raleigh City Limits and Town of Garner limits. A few residential
houses, the Beta Sigma Phi Fraternity House, and the Raleigh Golf Association Golf Course
occupy the area west of the railroad tracks. The Beta Sigma Phi Fraternity House (Carolina
Pines Hotel) (WA 2467) is considered eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic
Places. The area east of the railroad tracks are wooded with a few industries located on Withers
Road (SR 1466). There is an office building on Junction Road. Junction Road extends down the
back of a shopping center and residential neighborhood. The area surrounding the end of the
project, US 401-70/Tryon Road intersection, has commercial development.
The area south of Tryon Road is contained in the Swift Creek Watershed Plan. The area between
the railroad tracks and US 401-70 is designated as one of the future employment areas within the
Southwest District land management plan.
This section of Tryon Road corresponds to a primary bicycle corridor in the Raleigh City wide
bicycle network. The recommended cross sections for this project include wide outside lanes to
accommodate bicycle traffic.
Three threatened or endangered species are listed for Wake County. The currently listed species
include the following:
Common Name Scientific Name Status
Bald eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus Threatened (Proposed for delisting)
Red-cockaded woodpecker Picoides borealis Endangered
Dwarf wedge mussel Alasmidonta heterodon Endangered
Michaux's sumac Rhus michauxii Endangered
A natural resources investigation will be conducted to determine if any endangered or threatened
species are in the project study area.
The following alternatives will be studied for this project:
¦ Do-Nothing
¦ Transportation System Management Alternatives
¦ Mass Transit Alternative
¦ Upgrade the existing two-lane facility to a four lane divided facility with either a 16- foot or
a 30-foot raised median.
Please note, there will be no formal interagency scoping meeting for this project, however a
NCDOT in-house scoping meeting was held on April 7, 2003. We would appreciate any
information you might have that would be helpful in evaluating potential environmental impacts
of this project. If applicable, please identify any permits or approvals which may be required by
your agency. Your comments will be used in the preparation of a federally funded
Environmental Assessment (EA). This document will be prepared in accordance with the
National Environment Policy Act and NCDOT's Merger 01 Process. It is desirable that your
agency respond by November 21, 2003 so that your comments can be used in the preparation of
this document.

Improvements to Tryon Road
Wake County, North Carolina
State Project No. 8.2407201
Federal Aid No. BRSTP-1370(4)
1.1 Introduction
This project is included in the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
2004-2010 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) as U-4432. An environmental
assessment is underway in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) of 1969, as amended. The content of the document will conform to Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidelines.
1.2. Proposed Action
The proposed action will widen SR 1370 (Tryon Road) from US 70-401 (Wilmington
Street) to Par Avenue, west of Bridge No. 259 over Norfolk Southern Railway, Figure 1.
The project includes replacing Bridge No. 259.
An additional transportation improvement projects in the vicinity of the project is to
widening SR 1370 from Par Avenue to SR 1009 (Lake Wheeler Road). This project is
included in the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) draft 2030
Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Roadway Project List to be completed by year
2020.
1.3 Summary of Need for Proposed Action
The primary needs of the proposed action are addressed below.
Traffic capacity deficiencies exist along SR 1370.
SR 1370 currently operates at a peak hour level of service (LOS) E at the intersection of
US 70-401. It is projected that by the year 2030 this intersection will operate at LOS F.
SR 1370 and Junction Road currently operate at a peak hour LOS F, and all four
intersections between US 70-401 and the western end of the project are projected to
operate at LOS F by the year 2030. These LOS ratings are considered undesirable and
indicate that there is more traffic demand than road capacity. The congestion will
increase substantially as travel demand in this area increases.
Bridge No. 259 is functionally obsolete and structurally deficient.
Bridge Maintenance Unit records indicate that Bridge No. 259 has a sufficiency rating of
29.5 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. There are hairline cracks in the deck and
girders, spalls on the concrete caps, and vertical cracks in the columns. The concrete
railing is broken on the right side and the asphalt wearing surface is cracked at the ends
of the bridge and over the bents. Rehabilitation of the bridge is not possible and closing it
permanently is not a reasonable option due to the traffic service it provides. Bridge No.
259 is on a horizontal curve with a design speed of 30 mph. Vertical and horizontal
clearance under Bridge No. 259 does not meet AASHTO standards.
The night crash rate for this section of SR 1370 is significantly higher than the 1999-
2001 Statewide Crash Rates.
Of the total reported crashes in the project area, 28 percent occurred during night
conditions. This suggests that there are operational deficiencies on this section of SR
1370.
1.4 Purpose of Proposed Action
The primary purpose of the proposed action includes the following:
The proposed project is needed to reduce congestion along SR 1370.
Some portions of SR 1370 currently operate at LOS F, and all intersections on SR 1370
between US 70-401 and Par Drive are projected to operate at LOS F by the year 2030.
The proposed action will improve traffic flow and provide congestion relief.
• The proposed project is needed to replace a functionally obsolete and structurally
deficient bridge.
Bridge No. 259 is in need of replacement due to its functional status and deteriorated
condition. Replacing this bridge will provide safer, more efficient traffic operations in the
project area.
The proposed project is needed to improve safety along SR 1370.
SR 1370 between US 70/401 and Bridge No. 259 has a posted speed limit is 45 mph.
Two curves along this project design safe speed is 30 mph. The reported accidents in the
project study area from 1999 to 2001, indicates that these two curves have a higher
frequency of accidents, as compared to the state wide average. Night crash rates indicate
operational deficiencies on SR 1370. These crash rates would be expected to rise as
traffic volumes continue to rise. Roadway improvements will enhance safety in the
project area and should contribute to reduced accident rates.
The existing facility does not have a significant amount of bicycle accidents. However,
bicyclists use this project to travel to their destinations. Adding extra room for bicyclists
along the roadway will help prevent potentially dangerous situations, such as pedestrian
collisions and crashes.

Executive Summary
Mulkey Engineers & Consultants, Inc. (Mulkey) was retained by the North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to conduct an inventory of natural resources and
to estimate impacts to key resources, culminating in the preparation of a Natural Resources
Technical Report. The project includes the replacement of Bridge No. 259 on SR 1370
(Tryon Road) over Carolina Northwest Railway and the widening of Tryon Road to multi-
lanes, part on new location, from US 70-401 (Wilrnington Street) to west of Bridge No. 259
in Raleigh and Garner, Wake County, North Carolina. The objective of the field
investigations was to determine existing natural conditions, to document the occurrence of
Waters of the U.S. and natural communities including wildlife, and to determine the
presence of threatened and endangered species or their habitats. Mulkey personnel
conducted field reconnaissance from October 2003 to January 2004. The field investigations
of the site and surrounding area and information reviewed by Mulkey indicate the following:
The site is comprised of several tracts, the largest being the former Raleigh Airport
location, which is now owned by Southern Regional Industrial Realty, Inc. The site
is located in an urban area in southeast Raleigh and northwest Garner, Wake County,
North Carolina
The project is located entirely within Neuse River subbasin 03-04-02 and United
States Geological Survey (USGS) hydrologic unit 03020201. An unnamed tributary
(UT) to Swift Creek is the primary surface water at the site. The Swift Creek UT is
currently unclassified; however Swift Creek is designated as "WS-III, NSW" by the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ). This reach of the UT is not
designated as a 303(d) stream.
The study area is comprised of approximately 48.1 acres of mixed pine-hardwood
forest, 5.9 acres of bottomland hardwood forest, and 18.4 acres of man-dominated
areas. The table below describes anticipated impacts.

located on the same alignment, however, Alternative 1 has a median 23 feet wide,
and Alternative 2 has a median 30 feet wide. Table 2 describes proposed impacts.
Actual impacts will depend on final design. Five wetlands areas were delineated
in the project area.

A Section 404 Nationwide Permit 14 and a Section 401 General Water Quality
Certification (WQC #3404) or an Individual Permit is likely to be required for
impacts to surface water and wetlands determined to be under the jurisdiction of the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the NCDWQ. Sediment and
erosion control permits are required by the North Carolina Division of Land
Resources (NCDLR) for land disturbing activity. The NCDLR also requires a
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general stormwater
permit for any activity disturbing more than one acre of land.
No protected species were observed during field investigations. Each species with
potential to occur in the project area was fully investigated. Suitable habitat for
N ichaux's Sumac (Bhus michauxiz) does exist along the disturbed areas associated with
the former Raleigh Airport; however, no specimens of this plant were found during
field surveys for that species. A letter received from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) concurs that project construction may affect, but is not likely to
adversely affect Michaux's sumac.

o Alternative A- has minimum impact to wetlands.
o Alternative C - because the wetland impacts are temporary for the detour.
o Alternative B - can not bud down avoidance and mitigation.
It was noted that Alternative A's bridge is on a 0.06 slope.
Theresa Ellerby will check with FHWA about going to merger with this project.
4303, Wake County, Replace Bridge No. 102 over Lower Bartons Creek on SR 1844 (Mr.
Vernon Church Road).
• No wetlands are impacted.
• Will need dewatering access to do replacement of the culvert.
• Nikki stressed that the design velocities should be non-erosive coming out of the culvert.
Preference is Alternative A.
B-4304, Wake County, Replace Bridge No. 143 over Beaver Dam Creek on SR 2217 (Old
Milburnie Road).
• Prefers Alternative A, then B, then D, and then C.
• It was noted that there is a high rate of accidents at this bridge due to the sharp curve. The
roadway is posted 45 mph, but the curve is rated for a safe speed of 25 mph. Alternatives C and
D improve the horizontal curvature. Alternative D has less wetland impacts than Alternative C,.
It introduces two (2) additional horizontal curves and impacts the historic boundaries of the
Fish Camp.
• Historic boundaries are associated with the Fish Camp.
• This may be a possible project for the merger process. Theresa Ellerby will check with FHWA.
• Possible restoration/ creation on-site where the old road bed is located for Alternatives C and D.
eplace Bridge No. 259 on SR 1370 (Tryon Road) over Carolina Northwest Railway
and wi en SR 1370 to multi-lanes, part on new location, from US 70-401 (Wilmington Street)
to west of Bridge No. 259.
There are approximately 320 linear feet of stream impacts and less than 0.01 acre of wetland
impacts.
• Eric does not feel this need to go through the merger process.
Theresa Ellerby will discuss this with FHWA.
There minute are the writers' interpretations of the events and discussions, which took place during the meeting. If there are any
additions and/or corrections, please respond in writing within seven (7) days.

At the wetland delineation site visits on June 8, 2004, Eric Alysmeyer requested to review the projects in his
area that had proposed culverts and wetland impacts. A meeting was held on October 7, 2004, at 10:00 a.m.
in Room 452 of the Transportation Building to review the projects' alternatives and obtain comments from
the Corps of Engineers (COE) and Division of Water Quality (DWQ) prior to the alternative selection
meetings. FHWA was invited but did not attend this meeting. All alternatives and impacts for each project
were reviewed and comments were as follows:
B-3528, Wake County Replacement of Bridge No. 429 over Sycamore Creek on SR 1839
(Leesville Road)
• COE prefers temporary impacts to permanent impacts.
Keep bridge bents out of creek.
• Look at shifting Alternative A farther west to minimize curves.
• Stay out of stream.
Prefers temporary detour on east side with temporary impacts.
• Wetlands are in the process of being developed.
• COE prefers in order Alternative A, C-depending on amount of stream impacts, then B.
• Alternative C, may be able to reduce the bridge width to 33' to minimize stream impacts and
shift proposed bridge closer to existing bridge.
• DWQ prefers Alternative A.
• If Alternative D is considered with the culvert, check the velocity coming out of the culvert for
non-erosive.

B-4109, Durham County, Replace Bridge No. 120 over Mud Creek on SR 1303 (Pickett
Road).
North of the bridge are mature woods and good wetlands. South of the bridge the wetlands
have been disturbed by utilities.
The wetlands delineation as displayed on the plan sheets showed the wetlands on the north side
on the shoulder. After the meeting and reloading the GPS points, the wetlands are now
approximately 16 feet off the edge of pavement.
• Eric recommends being creative in minimizing the wetland impacts for Alternative B; such as
moving the existing road south, reducing the detour speed and providing sharper curves to
minimize the length of the detour, and lowering the vertical grade as much as practicable. The
detour is designed for 50 mph as shown on the plans.
• Pam suggested that the proposed bridge shoulders could be reduced from 8-feet to 4-feet since
the bridge is 100 feet in length. The detour could be moved closer to the proposed bridge.
• Eric and Nikki both prefer Alternative A.
B-4300, Wake County, Replace Bridge No. 29 over Clarks Creek on SR 1007 (Poole Road).
• The proposed structure is a 2 barrel 10 feet x 8 feet reinforced concrete box culvert.
• Nikki stressed that the design velocities should be non-erosive coming out of the culvert.
• Alternative B impacts over 450 feet of stream for the detour. Need to avoid UT so mitigation
will not be required.
• Try to widen to the north to minimize impacts to the UT on the south side.
• Eric and Nikki preferred Alternative A.
B-4301, Wake County, Replace Bridge No. 229 over Poplar Creek on SR 1007 (Poole Road).
• Nikki prefers no bents in stream.
• Wetland on south side of road is not as wet as on the north side.
• Eric had a sight preference for Alternative B.
Nikki preferred Alternative B.
B-43023, Wake County, Replace Bridge No. 336 over Terrible Creek on SR 1301 (Sunset Lake
Road).
• Wetland impacts override the buffer impacts, COE is the permitting agency.
• Historic property boundaries are located is the southeast quadrant.
• Prefers temporary impacts to permanent impacts.
• Alternative B may have on-site wetland restoration/creation available with removal of the
existing road bed and additional higher ground in the area.
• Detour will be allowable with mitigation.
• Alternative B is not too favorable due to permanent impacts.
• The wetlands are not wooded so there would be no tree loss.
• Construction access needs to be considered.
• Could wetland restoration/creation be done for Alternative B?
o If it is fill then it could be simple.
o Need borings in the area by a wetland soil scientist.
o Need detailed surveyed topography in the area, planimeterics are not acceptable.
o Will need a monitoring plan for 5 years.
• Possible merger project because of the cultural resource (historic property on the southeast
quadrant), endanged species (mussel survey required), and wetland impacts.
• Preferences are:
