Cyndi,
The Washington Regionan office would like to put project No. 99-1212 on
hold for additional information. The project looks like it could be
draining wetland acerage and we would like DOT to prove otherwise. I
spoke with John H. this morning and he said go ahead and put it on hold
for additional info, so here it is. All comments are in the filemaker
pro system.
Also this project is listed as a project in Wilmington and Brunswick Co.
when it actually is in the Washington Region and Beaufort County.
Sounds like I will see you Wednesday,

NCDOT Bridge #63
Beaufort County
Project Setting
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge #63
located on US 264 and NC 92 over Cuckold's Creek between Belhaven and Pantego in Beaufort
County, North Carolina. The bridge is oriented north-south, and the proposed construction will take
place on the downstream (west) side of the bridge. Most wetlands in the project area occur in an area
between the railroad bed and the roadbed of the previous alignment of highway 264. The wetlands
in the project area have been delineated as 404 wetlands by NCDOT but the delineation has not been
approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
The upstream (east) side of the bridge is undeveloped. The uplands are wooded and transition
to wooded wetlands then to an herbaceous wetland fringe as the elevation changes close to the creek.
Immediately upstream of the bridge, Cuckolds Creek has been channelized for agricultural drainage.
Adjacent to the downstream side of the bridge is an abandoned roadbed with remnant asphalt
visible along its alignment. Upland grasses vegetate the old road shoulders and areas where the
asphalt is no longer present. The old roadbed and associated shoulder area is approximately 30 feet
wide.
The edges of the creek on the south side are vegetated by a fringe of herbaceous wetland
species including arrow arum, sawgrass, cattails and bultongue. There is an area of wooded wetland
vegetated with myrtle, gum, and maple trees, shrubs, and catbrier landward of the marsh fringe.
Continuing farther landward, the site quickly rises in elevation and becomes vegetated with upland
grasses.
A majority of the wetland impacts will occur on the northwest side of the bridge. The north
side of the bridge is also bordered by a fringe of herbaceous wetland species including arrow arum,
sawgrass, cattails and bultongue. There is a small area of wooded wetland vegetated with myrtle,
gum, and maple trees, shrubs, and catbrier. There is a low area approximately 258' long and 50' wide,
between the abandoned road and the railroad tracks, densely vegetated with Coastal Wetland species
including sawgrass ( i m iamaicen .e) and cattail (Ivnha sp.). The elevation increases at the edge
of a remnant road bed and transitions to upland grass species. Asphalt from the old road is visible in
areas.
The navigable water depth at the existing bridge is ±8.5' Cuckolds Creek is ±1 40' wide at the
existing bridge crossing. All of the existing bridge bents are in the creek proper. Navigation is limited
by the bent configuration of the existing bridge, and the temporary structure will not further impede
navigation. The proposed bridge will increase navigability upstream because there will be fewer bents
in the creek. Cuckolds Creek is classified as SC-NSW by the Environmental Management
Commission and is not open to shell fishing at this location.
w
Project Description
The NCDOT proposes to replace an existing ±27 ` wide by ±189' long two lane bridge over
Cuckolds Creek with a ±40' wide by ±200' long two lane bridge and to construct a ±24' wide by ±165'
long temporary detour bridge. The existing bridge has eleven bents in Cuckolds Creek evenly spaced
across the creek. The creek is ±140' wide at the crossing. The proposed bridge will have three bents
in the creek with the center bent approximately in the center of the creek. The existing bridge has a
navigation clearance of ±6' and the proposed bridge will have a navigational clearance of ±6'.
A temporary detour bridge will be constructed on the downstream side of the existing bridge
between the bridge and the railway. The proposed detour will be removed upon completion of the
permanent structure, and the impacted area will be returned to preproject contours and elevations.
NCDOT proposes to temporarily fill ±2,100 ft2 of 404 wetlands and ± 14,017 ft2 of Coastal
Wetlands to construct the temporary detour structure and its associated approaches. Approximately
5,180 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands will be excavated for the construction of drainage ditches adjacent to
the detour structure. These temporary impacts will be restored upon completion of the permanent
bridge. Construction of the replacement bridge will result in the permanent filling of ±75 ft2 of 404
wetlands and ±535 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands immediately adjacent to the existing structure.
Construction of permanent drainage ditches will result in excavation of ±2,100 ft2 of 404 wetlands
and ±5,805 ft2 Coastal Wetlands. Approximately 26,250 ft2 of highground will be temporarily filled
during construction of the detour structure, and ±800 ft2 of highground will be permanently filled
during construction of the replacement bridge.
Anticipated Impacts
Construction of the detour structure will result in temporary impacts that will be restored
upon completion of the replacement bridge. Approximately ±2,100 ft2 of 404 wetlands and ± 14,017
ft2 of Coastal Wetlands will be filled to construct the temporary detour structure. Temporary ditch
construction will result in the excavation of approximately 5,180 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands.
Approximately 26,250 ft2 of highground will be filled during construction of the detour structure.
These impacts will be temporary, and the effected areas will be returned to preproject contours and
elevations upon completion of the permanent replacement bridge.
Construction of the replacement bridge will result in the permanent filling of ±75 ft2 of 404
wetlands and ±535 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands adjacent to the existing structure. Permanent drainage
ditches will be constructed in the area that will be impacted by the temporary detour structure, and
will result in the excavation of ±2,100 ft2 of 404 wetlands and ±5,805 ft2 Coastal Wetlands.
Approximately 800 ft2 of highground will be filled during construction of the replacement bridge.
Construction of the new bridge will result in the shading of 5,480 ft2 of creek bottom. Turbidity from
construction activities will vary with construction technique, water depth and substrate type, and will
temporary.
The net impact of the proposed bridge replacement is the permanent loss of ±2,175 ft 2 of 404
wetlands and ±6,340 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands that will be filled or excavated. Approximately 5,480
ft2 of creek bottom will be shaded by the replacement bridge.

SECRErARY
SUBJECT: Proposed replacement of Bridge No. 63 over Cuckold's Creek on
US 264-NC 99 in Beaufort County; Federal Aid Project No.
BRSTP-264 (7); State Project No. 8.1150901; T.I.P. No. B-2806.
This letter is in reference to your correspondence dated 2 July 1999. The following
information is provided to address your concerns relating to the permit application.
To review, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to
replace Bridge No. 63 over Cuckold's Creek on US 264-NC 99 in Beaufort County. The
proposed project will involve replacing the existing bridge on existing location with a
bridge approximately 62 meters (200 feet) long and 12 meters (40 feet) wide comprised
of a 7.2 meter (24 foot) travelway with 2.4 meter (8 foot) shoulders on each side. Traffic
will be maintained on-site with a temporary detour structure located between the existing
roadway and the railway. The detour bridge will be approximately 51 meters (165 feet)
long and 7.3 meters (24 feet) wide. This project was approved as a Categorical Exclusion
(CE) on 18 September 1997.
In order to minimize the temporary wetland impact, reference elevations will be taken in
the fill area prior to construction. The area will then be restored to its original contour
and rough surface texture based on the reference elevations. The area is expected to
recover naturally since the topsoil and seed source will not be removed. Aside from
standard erosion control measures, no additional planting is proposed. Placement of the
temporary fill is expected to last thirteen months, from 1 March 2000 to 31 March 2001.
Construction will be scheduled to avoid instream activities during the spring months
(April 1 - June 15) to minimize impacts to anadromous fish.
The following information addresses your concerns as they were listed in the 2 July 1999
letter:
The construction of this project is expected to temporarily impact 0.49 acre of wetlands
due to the temporary detour and permanently impact 0.194 acre of wetlands. Impacts to
surface waters will be limited to the placement of pilings necessary to support the
temporary and new bridges, totaling less than 0.001 acre.
• The existing approaches associated with the existing bridge will be returned to the
original contours and elevations. Construction of the temporary detour structure does
involve work outside of NCDOT's R/W. NCDOT is currently negotiating for a
temporary construction easement with Norfolk and Southern Railroad that will allow
us to do work outside of our R/W. As is typical with RR easements, the agreement
will likely be finalized a few months before the project goes to construction;
therefore, we do not have an agreement at this time.
• The CE states that disturbance to surface waters will be high because it provides an
estimate based on the worst case scenario. Actual disturbance will be limited to the
placement of pilings necessary to support the temporary and new bridges, totaling less
than 0.001 acre.
• Wetland boundaries are clearly shown on the plats. Please contact Lynn Smith if
there is any confusion regarding the boundaries. Except for the riprap, approximately
80% of the upland fill is along the downstream side of the road. The remaining 20%
is along the upstream side of the road. I have included a set of cross-sections that
show the location for the placement of upland fill.
• DCM-MP-1
4.1. A Routine Wetland Determination form was filled out on 30 July 1999
and is included. The USCOE has not signed off on the delineation,
however NCDOT rarely obtains USACE verification for wetland
delineations of this size.
5. Property owners are listed on the plats. They are represented by a circle
with a number inside, and they correspond to property owners listed on
Sheet 2 of 8.
The certified mail receipts are included.
The area listed as NCDOT property lies between US 264-NC 99 and the
railroad. I have removed NCDOT from the adjacent property owners list.
A statement of compliance with the NC Environmental Policy Act
(N.C.G.S. I 13A-I to 10) was not included, because the subject project is
classified as a Categorical Exclusion, and is subject to the Nationwide
Permit Provisions of 33 CFR 33-.5 (A) 23. This permit authorizes any
activities, work and discharges undertaken, assisted, authorized, regulated,
funded or financed, in whole or in part, by another federal agency which
has determined, pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality
Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act that the activity is "categorically excluded"
from environmental documentation because it is included within a
category of actions which neither individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the environment.
• DCM-MP-5
I .n. A Coast Guard permit is not required, because Cuckold's Creek is not
used by recreational, fishing or other small boats greater than 21 feet in
length. Please see included documentation.
3.b. The original plats attempted to segregate impacts associated with the
temporary bridge from those of the permanent structure. Unfortunately,
this caused some confusion due to an overlap in the temporary and
permanent impacts. Sheet 5 of 8 has been revised to show the extent of
each type of impact, excluding any overlap. Please note the wetland
impacts as listed in the original application on Sheet 3 of 10 have not
changed.
3.d(1) NCDOT has an agreement with the contractor that requires him to choose
an upland site. Since choosing the disposal site is the responsibility of the
contractor, NCDOT does not claim title to the disposal area, and we do not
have a letter granting permission from the owner.
NCDOT requests that the proposed work be authorized under a Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA) Major Development Permit. Enclosed is a permit application,
revised permit drawings, the CE document, a memo regarding sensitive jointvetch,
certified mail receipts, a Routine Wetland Determination form, a letter from the Federal
Highway Administration regarding the Coast Guard, and a check for $250.00. By copy
of this letter, we are also requesting issuance of a United States Army Corps of Engineers
NWP 23 and a 401 Water Quality Certification from the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact Lynn Smith at
[phone]. Thank you for your prompt attention to this request.

8. PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to replace a ± 189' long by ±27' wide bridge with a
±200' long by ±40 ft wide bridge and construct a temporary detour bridge.
NCDOT Bridge #63
Beaufort County
Project Setting
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge #63
located on US 264 and NC 92 over Cuckold's Creek between Belhaven and Pantego in Beaufort
County, North Carolina. The bridge is oriented north-south, and the proposed construction will take
place on the downstream (west) side of the bridge. Most wetlands in the project area occur in an area
between the railroad bed and the roadbed of the previous alignment of highway 264. The wetlands
in the project area have been delineated as 404 wetlands by NCDOT but the delineation has not been
approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
The upstream (east) side of the bridge is undeveloped. The uplands are wooded and transition
to wooded wetlands then to an herbaceous wetland fringe as the elevation changes close to the creek.
Immediately upstream of the bridge, Cuckolds Creek has been channelized for agricultural drainage.
Adjacent to the downstream side of the bridge is an abandoned roadbed with remnant asphalt
visible along its alignment. Upland grasses vegetate the old road shoulders and areas where the
asphalt is no longer present. The old roadbed and associated shoulder area is approximately 30 feet
wide.
The edges of the creek on the south side are vegetated by a fringe of herbaceous wetland
species including arrow arum, sawgrass, cattails and bultongue. There is an area of wooded wetland
vegetated with myrtle, gum, and maple trees, shrubs, and catbrier landward of the marsh fringe.
Continuing farther landward, the site quickly rises in elevation and becomes vegetated with upland
grasses.
A majority of the wetland impacts will occur on the northwest side of the bridge. The north
side of the bridge is also bordered by a fringe of herbaceous wetland species including arrow arum,
sawgrass, cattails and bultongue. There is a small area of wooded wetland vegetated with myrtle,
gum, and maple trees, shrubs, and catbrier. There is a low area approximately 258' long and 50' wide,
between the abandoned road and the railroad tracks, densely vegetated with Coastal Wetland species
including sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense) and cattail (Tvha sp.). The elevation increases at the edge
of a remnant road bed and transitions to upland grass species. Asphalt from the old road is visible in
areas.
The navigable water depth at the existing bridge is f8.5' Cuckolds Creek is ±140' wide at the
existing bridge crossing. All of the existing bridge bents are in the creek proper. Navigation is limited
by the bent configuration of the existing bridge, and the temporary structure will not further impede
navigation. The proposed bridge will increase navigability upstream because there will be fewer bents
in the creek. Cuckolds Creek is classified as SC-NSW by the Environmental Management
Commission and is not open to shell fishing at this location.
Po6ject Descri tt*on
„ The NCDOT proposes to replace an existing ±27 'wide by ±189' long two lane bridge over
Cuckolds Creek with a ±40' wide by ±200' long two lane bridge and to construct a ±24' wide by ±165'
long temporary detour bridge. The existing bridge has eleven bents in Cuckolds Creek evenly spaced
across the creek. The creek is ±140' wide at the crossing. The proposed bridge will have three bents
in the creek with the center bent approximately in the center of the creek. The existing bridge has a
navigation clearance of ±6' and the proposed bridge will have a navigational clearance of ±6'.
A temporary detour bridge will be constructed on the downstream side of the existing bridge
between the bridge and the railway. The proposed detour will be removed upon completion of the
permanent structure, and the impacted area will be returned to preproject contours and elevations.
NCDOT proposes to temporarily fill ±2,100 ft2 of 404 wetlands and ± 14,017 ft2 of Coastal
Wetlands to construct the temporary detour structure and its associated approaches. Approximately
5,180 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands will be excavated for the construction of drainage ditches adjacent to
the detour structure. These temporary impacts will be restored upon completion of the permanent
bridge. Construction of the replacement bridge will result in the permanent filling of ±75 ft2 of 404
wetlands and ±535 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands immediately adjacent to the existing structure.
Construction of permanent drainage ditches will result in excavation of ±2,100 ft2 of 404 wetlands
and ±5,805 ft2 Coastal Wetlands. Approximately 26,250 ft2 of highground will be temporarily filled
during construction of the detour structure, and ±800 ft2 of highground will be permanently filled
during construction of the replace ent bridge.
Anticipated Impacts
Construction of the detou structure will result in temporary impacts that will be restored
upon completion of the replacement bridge. Approximately ±2,100 ft2 of 404 wetlands and ± 14,017
ft2 of Coastal Wetlands will be fill d to construct the temporary detour structure. Temporary ditch
construction will result in the xcavation of approximately 5,180 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands.
Approximately 26,250 ft2 of high round will be filled during construction of the detour structure.
These impacts will be temporary, arid the effected areas will be returned to preproject contours and
elevations upon completion of the ermanent replacement bridge.
Construction of the replac ment bridge will result in the permanent filling of ±75 ft2 of 404
wetlands and ±535 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands adjacent to the existing structure. Permanent drainage
ditches will be constructed in the a ea that will be impacted by the temporary detour structure, and
will result in the excavation of ±2,100 ft2 of 404 wetlands and ±5,805 ft2 Coastal Wetlands.
Approximately 800 ft2 of highground will be filled during construction of the replacement bridge.
Construction of the new bridge will result in the shading of 5,480 ft2 of creek bottom. Turbidity from
construction activities will vary with construction technique, water depth and substrate type, and will
temporary.
The net impact of the proposed bridge replacement is the permanent loss of ±2,175 ft2 of 404
wetlands and ±6,340 ft2 of Coastal Wetlands that will be filled or excavated. Approximately 5,480
ft2 of creek bottom will be shaded by the replacement bridge.

SUBJECT: Proposed replacement of Bridge No. 63 over Cuckold's Creek on
US 264-NC 99 in Beaufort County; Federal Aid Project No.
BRSTP-264 (7); State Project No. 8.1150901; T.I.P. No. B-2806.
This letter is in reference to your correspondence dated 2 July 1999. The following
information is provided to address your concerns relating to the permit application.
To review, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to
replace Bridge No. 63 over Cuckold's Creek on US 264-NC 99 in Beaufort County. The
proposed project will involve replacing the existing bridge on existing location with a
bridge approximately 62 meters (200 feet) long and 12 meters (40 feet) wide comprised
of a 7.2 meter (24 foot) travelway with 2.4 meter (8 foot) shoulders on each side. Traffic
will be maintained on-site with a temporary detour structure located between the existing
roadway and the railway. The detour bridge will be approximately 51 meters (165 feet)
long and 7.3 meters (24 feet) wide. This project was approved as a Categorical Exclusion
(CE) on 18 September 1997.
In order to minimize the temporary wetland impact, reference elevations will be taken in
the fill area prior to construction. The area will then be restored to its original contour
and rough surface texture based on the reference elevations. The area is expected to
recover naturally since the topsoil and seed source will not be removed. Aside from
standard erosion control measures, no additional planting is proposed. Placement of the
temporary fill is expected to last thirteen months, from 1 March 2000 to 31 March 2001.
Construction will be scheduled to avoid instream activities during the spring months
(April 1 - June 15) to minimize impacts to anadromous fish.
The following information addresses your concerns as they were listed in the 2 July 1999
letter:
The construction of this project is expected to temporarily impact 0.49 acre of wetlands
due to the temporary detour and permanently impact 0.194 acre of wetlands. Impacts to
surface waters will be limited to the placement of pilings necessary to support the
temporary and new bridges, totaling less than 0.001 acre.
• The existing approaches associated with the existing bridge will be returned to the
original contours and elevations. Construction of the temporary detour structure does
involve work outside of NCDOT's R/W. NCDOT is currently negotiating for a
temporary construction easement with Norfolk and Southern Railroad that will allow
us to do work outside of our R/W. As is typical with RR easements, the agreement
will likely be finalized a few months before the project goes to construction;
therefore, we do not have an agreement at this time.
• The CE states that disturbance to surface waters will be high because it provides an
estimate based on the worst case scenario. Actual disturbance will be limited to the
placement of pilings necessary to support the temporary and new bridges, totaling less
than 0.001 acre.
• Wetland boundaries are clearly shown on the plats. Please contact Lynn Smith if
there is any confusion regarding the boundaries. Except for the riprap, approximately
80% of the upland fill is along the downstream side of the road. The remaining 20%
is along the upstream side of the road. I have included a set of cross-sections that
show the location for the placement of upland fill.
• DCM-MP-1
4.1. A Routine Wetland Determination form was filled out on 30 July 1999
and is included. The USCOE has not signed off on the delineation,
however NCDOT rarely obtains USACE verification for wetland
delineations of this size.
5. Property owners are listed on the plats. They are represented by a circle
with a number inside, and they correspond to property owners listed on
Sheet 2 of 8.
The certified mail receipts are included.
The area listed as NCDOT property lies between US 264-NC 99 and the
railroad. I have removed NCDOT from the adjacent property owners list.
A statement of compliance with the NC Environmental Policy Act
(N.C.G.S. 113A-1 to 10) was not included, because the subject project is
classified as a Categorical Exclusion, and is subject to the Nationwide
Permit Provisions of 33 CFR 33-.5 (A) 23. This permit authorizes any
activities, work and discharges undertaken, assisted, authorized, regulated,
funded or financed, in whole or in part, by another federal agency which
has determined, pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality
Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act that the activity is "categorically excluded"
from environmental documentation because it is included within a
category of actions which neither individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the environment.
• DCM-MP-5
l.n. A Coast Guard permit is not required, because Cuckold's Creek is not
used by recreational, fishing or other small boats greater than 21 feet in
length. Please see included documentation.
3.b. The original plats attempted to segregate impacts associated with the
temporary bridge from those of the permanent structure. Unfortunately,
this caused some confusion due to an overlap in the temporary and
permanent impacts. Sheet 5 of 8 has been revised to show the extent of
each type of impact, excluding any overlap. Please note the wetland
impacts as listed in the original application on Sheet 3 of 10 have not
changed.
3.d(1) NCDOT has an agreement with the contractor that requires him to choose
an upland site. Since choosing the disposal site is the responsibility of the
contractor, NCDOT does not claim title to the disposal area, and we do not
have a letter granting permission from the owner.
NCDOT requests that the proposed work be authorized under a Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA) Major Development Permit. Enclosed is a permit application,
revised permit drawings, the CE document, a memo regarding sensitive jointvetch,
certified mail receipts, a Routine Wetland Determination form, a letter from the Federal
Highway Administration regarding the Coast Guard, and a check for $250.00. By copy
of this letter, we are also requesting issuance of a United States Army Corps of Engineers
NWP 23 and a 401 Water Quality Certification from the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact Lynn Smith at
[phone]. Thank you for your prompt attention to this request.
