ATTENTION: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer
NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Johnston County, Replacement of Bridge 973 on SR 1140, at Stone
Creek, Neuse River Basin.
Dear Mr. Alsmeyer:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace
Bridge 473, on SR 1140 over Stone Creek in Johnston County. The existing 53 feet long
and 19 feet-wide-timber bridge-is-in-very-poor-and-unsafe condition and will be replaced
with -a 90 f e long cored slab bridge approximately 28 feet widThe purpose of this
letter is to provide notification t t?e U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) under
Nationwide Permit 918, Minor Discharges. No temporary dewatering will be required, so
no notification is required for authoriLtion under NWP 933, Temporary Dewatering.
This letter shall also provide- notification to the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
according to concurrence requirements for Water Quality Certification 43106. Less than
40 linear feet of riparian buffer will be permanently impacted by the proposed bridge
replacement, and as a bridge replacement, the subject project is exempt from notification
under the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
The proposed bridge replacement project will require minimal impacts to waters of
the United States in the Neuse River Basin. The minimum necessary amount of riprap will
be placed adjacent to the streambank in order to stabilize exposed slopes.
Post Office Box 3165, Wilson, North Carolina 27895-3165 ??
Waters of the U.S. Mitigation
Avoidance: All wetlands or surface Waters not affected by the project will be
protected from unnecessary encroachment. No staging of construction equipment or
storage of construction supplies will be allowed in or near wetlands or surface waters.
Minimization: Sedimentation and erosion control Best Management Practices for
the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project construction.
Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces and the Environmental Officer
during construction to minimize impacts to waters of the U. S. at these sites.
Compensatory Mitigation: Construction of the project will result in less than 0.1
acres of impacts to waters of the U. S. Impacts have been minimized to the maximum
extent possible during this stabilization project.
Riparian Buffer Impacts
The proposed pipe replacement the project involves a bridge replacement on Stone Creek,
a stream that is subject to the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rule. Permanent construction
impacts are less than 40 linear feet of riparian buffer. Based on the impacts to the riparian
buffer at this site, the crossing is exempt from the Rule.
Dewatering
The NCDOT will not temporarily dewater the work zone in the immediate vicinity
of the proposed project. Sedimentation and erosion control Best Management Practices
for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project
construction.
Regulatory Review
By copy of this letter, the NCDOT requests review by the State Historic Preservation
Office that there is no effect to any National Register or Study-listed properties within the
subject projects Area of Potential Effects.
By copy of this letter, NCDOT requests concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife
Resource Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) representative
that the subject project will have no effect on any listed threatened or endangered plant or
animal species. On 7/3/01, the NCDOT Environmental Officer reviewed the site for the
presence of any listed threatened and endangered species or any suitable habitat for the
same, and found that no suitable habitat was present for any listed freshwater mussels.
Permit Issues
The purpose of this letter is to provide notification under Section 404 Nationwide Permit
(NWP) 18, Minor Discharges, for the replacement of an existing timber bridge with a
cored slab bridge. The proposed project will result in less then 0.1 acres of impacts and
the discharge of less than 25 cubic yards of fill or excavation to waters of the U.S. during
construction. Notification is also hereby provided as required under the Water Quality
Certification 4 3106 (which corresponds to NWP 18) which requires written concurrence
from the NCDWQ. NCDOT will comply with all conditions associated with the
applicable NWP and WQC.
Summary
NCDOT proposes to replace Bridge 473, an existing 53 feet long and 19 feet wide
timber bridge in very poor and unsafe condition with a 90 feet long cored slab bridge
approximately 28 feet wide, on SR 1140 over Stone Creek in Johnston County. The
project is located in the Neuse River Basin, but is exempt from notification under the
Neuse River Basin Buffer Rule. NCDOT requests authorization under NWP 918 and
WQC # 3106 for the proposed bridge replacement and will not require authorization
under NWP#33 for temporary dewatering. The NCDOT will adhere to all applicable
Nationwide Permit and Water Quality Certification conditions. If you have any questions
or need additional information, please contact Ms. Robin M. Little at [phone].

site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Impacts are minimized by replacement of existing bridge with a bridge. All wetlands or
surface waters not affected by the project will be protected from unnecessary encroachment. No
staging of construction equipment will be allowed in or near wetlands or waters of the U.S. Strict
enforcement of sedimentation and erosion control Best Management Practices for the protection
of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during project construction.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (D`VQ Only)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 213 .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ® No ? If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Zone* Impact
(square feet Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 320 3 0
2 0 1.5 0
Total 320 0
* Zone 1 extends out 30 Feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; "Lone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0260.
