PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is the N.C. Department of Transportation. The proposal is to replace the two bridges, #'s 118 and 119 over Northeast Creek, on State Road 1406 (Piney Green Rd.) in Jacksonville, NC. The bridges will be replaced slightly north of the existing alignment, with a water line installed under the creek and south of the eastern approach. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT NC DOT - SR 1406 PAGE 2 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The site of this proposal is State Road 1406 (Piney Green Rd.) in Jacksonville, NC, where Bridges #118 and #119 cross Northeast Creek overflow (#118) and Northeast Creek (#119). This is in the area of Pumpkin Center. The site is approximately +13' msl, and is flanked with wooded swamp on either side. The proposal is to replace the existing bridges slightly north of the existing alignment, with an additional width of 28' to allow for 3 lanes. The approaching roadway will also be widened to three lanes, with a future projection of widening Piney Green Road to five lanes. This area is primarily residential, and undeveloped wooded swamp and forest. The roadway is extremely heavily traveled, with a traffic volume of ±20,000 vehicles per day, and a projected volume of 26,000 vehicles per day. The site consists of a 24' wide creek body at Bridge #119 (sheet 6 of 12 in the application), and a 18' to 20' wide creek body at Bridge #118 (sheet 4 of 12 in the application). There is a large amount of delineated Section 404 Wetland in the form of wooded swamp on the site. This system consists of Tulip Poplar, Loblolly Pine, Red Maple, Sweet Gum, Laurel Oak, Chinese Privet, Bald Cypress, Green Ash, Black Gum, Red Bay, White Bay, Soft Needle Rush, Catbrier, and American Elm. The adjacent uplands are forested, and are vegetated primarily with various pines, Tulip Poplar, Red Bay, Water Oak, and Groundsel Bush. Soils in the area are loams and sandy loams. Northeast Creek is inland waters at the project site, and is classified SC-NSW by the Division of Water Quality. The area is closed to shellfishing, and is not designated as primary nursery area by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. The creek overflow at Bridge #118 effectively ends at the project site, terminating in a stagnant pool. The City of Jacksonville Land Use Plan designates the project area as Developed, with all areas lying within CAMA Areas of Environmental Concern designated Conservation. The Department of Transportation proposes to replace both bridges slightly north of the existing alignment, install a new water line, and relocate the channel of the creek overflow at site #118. Both bridges are currently 52' x 25' in size, with a 10.5' clearance on #118, and a 9.5' clearance on #119. Normal low water at both sites is ±-2'. The proposed bridges are to be 52' in width, and 80' across for #118 and 100' across for #119. Both are to be cored slab, with two sections of 40' and 50', with a bent in the middle. There will be 10.5' clearance for both. Both will be stabilized on the north side with class I rip rap. The 24" water line will be installed below the creek bed and to the south side of the roadway, approximately 5' below grade. This installation will require the temporary excavation of .07 acres of wooded swamp and stream, and the temporary fill of .07 acres of the same, through the side cast methodology to be employed for temporary spoil storage. The creek in the overflow area, #118, is to be re-channelized to the main channel, some 90' from the bridge. The application states that 65' will be re-channelized, however, this was calculated from the end of the existing creek bed. The entire 90' x 20' will be excavated to the point of intersection with the existing creek. This will require the excavation of approximately 1800 square feet of wooded swamp, and the filling of approximately 5040 square feet of water and wooded swamp where the existing creek bed terminates. The intent of this aspect of the project is to improve water quality and navigation. NC DOT - SR 1406 PAGE 3 The approaches to the bridge will be widened to 36', with 2:1 side slopes to minimize impacts. The shoulders will be 8', except where guardrails are warranted, where the side slopes will be 11'. The approaches will extend to 950' northwest of Bridge #118, and 1350' southeast of Bridge #119. Construction of this infrastructure is to be accomplished in stages, accommodating existing traffic during construction. 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: As proposed, this bridge replacement with approach work, channel re-alignment, and water line installation will result in the following impacts: Approximately 4704 square feet of wooded swamp will be excavated, 6490 square feet of same will be filled, and 21,693 square feet of the same will be compacted through mechanized clearing. Approximately 1089 square feet of open water will be filled and 2288 square feet of same will be usurped by the bridges. Approximately 26,136 square feet of high ground will be graded and filled for the roadway and approaches. Approximately .14 acres of the wetland impacts are expected to be temporary, as the water line ditch will be returned to grade, and all temporarily stored spoil removed. There is a high probability of turbidity to be expected during the construction of this project. Stringent sedimentation/erosion control measures can minimize this. While the use of 2:1 side slopes limits direct wetland fill, it is conducive to a large amount of indirect fill, due to the fact that silt fencing is an inadequate measure to control slopes this abrupt. Congestion and traffic hazards should be reduced with the widening of the bridges and approaches to allow for turn lanes. Navigation under the bridges will be eased slightly with the reduction of the two bents per bridge to a single bent per bridge. The collective disturbance area for the project is 1.43 acres. I T.

AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION In efforts to reduce wetland impacts, NCDOT has incorporated the following avoidance and minimization measures: 1) Reductions of the proposed roadway fill slopes from 3:1 to 2:1. 2) Excavation of the new overflow channel from only the west bank to minimize impacts due to mechanized clearing. The channel construction sequence will include placement of a temporary dike in the overflow channel, backfilling the existing channel, and cutting the new channel. This will take approximately six weeks. 3) All waste and borrow sites will be kept out of wetlands to eliminate additional wetland impacts. 4) Removal of lateral ditches from wetlands areas.

Onslow County. Federal Aid Project No. BRSTP-1406(2). State Project No. 8.2260701. T.I.P No. B-3215. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace bridges Nos. 118 and 119 over the Northeast Creek overflow and Northeast Creek respectively. The project consists of replacing the existing bridges on new alignment north of the existing bridges with the centerlines offset approximately 21 ft. Approach roadways will have a 36 ft travelway with 8 ft shoulders, including 4 ft paved shoulders and 11 ft shoulders where guardrails are warranted. The approach work will extend approximately 950 ft northwest of Bridge No. 118 and 1350 ft southeast of Bridge No. 119 to the existing three lane roadway section northwest and southeast. The proposed project will be built in phase construction. Construction sequence will consist of construction of the new alignment while maintaining traffic on the existing road. STREAM/WETLAND IMPACTS Stream impacts associated with the project will consist of the permanent fill of 130 linear feet of the overflow channel for Northeast Creek a Class "SC-NSW" stream (Index No. 19-16(0.5), 8/1/91) and 8 feet of temporary stream impacts resulting from a water line installation. Additionally, the deck and bridge railings for the superstructure for Bridges No. 118 and No. 119 are composed of concrete, while the substructure is composed of timber. Both the bridge rail and substructure will be removed without dropping them into Waters of United States, however, temporary fill resulting from dropping deck components into waters of the U.S. will be 16 yd3 and 17 yd3 respectively. Permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands will result from fill, excavation, and mechanized clearing. Total permanent wetland impacts will be 0.615 acres. Temporary wetland impacts will result from excavation (0.7 acres) and fill (0.7 acres) associated with the installation of a new water line. Total temporary wetland impacts will be 0.14 wetland acres. A summary of all permanent stream and wetland impacts is included in Table 1 and the attached permit drawings. Jya ? SUT( N yr?

Federal Project No. BRSTP-1406(2). State Project No. 8.2260701. TIP No. B-3215. The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace bridges 118 and 119 over the Northeast Creek overflow and Northeast Creek on SR 1406 in Onslow County. The proposed project will involve replacing the existing structures with two new bridges 80 ft long and 52 ft wide, and 100 ft long and 52 ft wide respectively. This replacement will take place north of the existing alignment and local traffic will be maintained on site while the project is built in stage construction. The project will require permanent wetland impacts of 0.079 acres of fill, 0.038 acres of excavation, and 0.498 acres of mechanized clearing. Temporary wetland impacts associated with the installation of a new water line will include 0.07 acres of fill and 0.07 acres of excavation. Permanent stream impacts will consist of 130 feet of fill in the Northeast Creek overflow. Approximately 65 ft of channel will be relocated. Temporary stream impacts consist of 8 feet of stream excavation due to the water line installation. A permit from the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management is required for this work. This permit is being obtained by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). In that your property is adjacent to the site where this permit is required, a copy of the permit application is being provided for your review; however, no action is required on your part.

The Division of Water Quality requests that NCDOT and its consultant consider the following generic environmental commitments for design and construction of bridge replacements: A. DWQ requests that DOT strictly adhere to North Carolina regulations entitled "Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds" (15A NCAC 04B .0024) throughout design and construction for this project in the area that drains to streams having WS (Water Supply), ORW (Outstanding Resource Water), HQW (High Quality Water), B (Body Contact), SA (Shellfish Water) or Tr (Trout Water) classifications to protect existing uses. B. DWQ requests that bridges be replaced on existing location with road closure. If an on-site detour or bridge/approach road realignment is necessary, the approach fills should be removed to pre-construction contour and revegetated with native vegetation. Tree species should be planted at 320 stems per acre. C. DWQ requests that hazardous spill catch basins be installed at any bridge crossing a stream classified as WS (Water Supply). 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 directly flowing into the stream. D. To the maximum extent practicable, DOT should not install the bridge bents in the creek. E. Wetland impacts should be avoided (including sediment and erosion control structures/measures). If this is not possible, alternatives that minimize wetland impacts should be chosen. Mitigation for unavoidable impacts will be required by DWQ if impacts exceed one acre. Smaller impacts may soon require mitigation by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. F. 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. The attached table has been prepared by DWQ for your assistance in studying the systems involved in these bridge replacements. This information includes the DWQ Index Number, DWQ Stream Classification, river basin, and preliminary comments for each crossing. P.O.

Biologists with the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the information provided regarding potential impacts to wildlife and fisheries resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). We recommend replacement of the existing structure with a bridge, on-site with an off- site detour, if possible. If an on-site detour is required we request that NCDOT biological staff visit the site and make a wetland determination to choose the location of the detour. In addition to any specific comments above, the NCWRC requests NCDOT routinely minimize adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources in the vicinity of bridge replacements. The NCDOT should install and maintain sedimentation control measures throughout the life of the project and prevent wet concrete from contacting water in or entering into these streams. Replacement of bridges with spanning structures of some type, as opposed to pipe or box culverts, is recommended in most cases. Spanning structures allow wildlife passage along streambanks, reducing habitat fragmentation and vehicle related mortality at highway crossings. Any channel relocations should be done using state-of-the-art stream relocation techniques and should be coordinated with the NCWRC. If you need further assistance or information on NCWRC concerns regarding bridge replacements, please contact me at (919) 528-9886.

Accordingly, we offer the following comments and recommendations to be addressed in the planning report: a. The report should contain the amount of permanent and temporary impacts to waters and wetlands as well as a description of the type of habitat that will be affected. b. Off-site detours are always preferable to on-site (temporary) detours in wetlands. If an on-site detour is the recommended action, justification should be provided. c. Project commitments should include the removal of all temporary fills from waters and wetlands. In addition, if undercutting is necessary for temporary detours, the undercut material should be stockpiled to be used to restore the site. d. The report should address impacts to recreational navigation (if any) if a bridge span will be replaced with a box culvert. e. The report should address potential impacts to anadromous fish passage if a bridge span will be replaced with culverts. Thank you for the opportunity to comment during this phase of planning for these projects. Questions or comments may be addressed to me in the Wilmington Regulatory Field Office at (910) 251-4725.
