Dear Sir:
Subject: The Replacement of Bridge No. 145 over Hawthorne Creek on SR 1333, Halifax
County, Federal Aid Project No. BRZ-1333(4), State Project No. 8.2301001,
TIP B-3182, Division 4.
NCDOT requests that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) provide
confirmation that the EEP is willing to provide compensatory mitigation for the above-
mentioned project in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed July 22,
2003 by the USACE, the NCDENR, and the NCDOT. Bridge No. 145 will be replaced in the
existing location with a cored slab bridge, approximately 145 feet in length with a 34-foot clear
roadway width. The structure will provide two 11-foot travel lanes with six feet of lateral
clearance on each side. The new approach roadway will provide two 11-foot travel lanes with
six-foot grass shoulders.
There are jurisdictional wetlands associated with this project with impacts totaling 0.246 acres.
Of these impacts, 0.2 acres is mechanized clearing, and mitigation is required. Surface waters
will be impacted by the construction of the bridge in the amount of 70 linear feet.
We have avoided and minimized the impacts to jurisdictional resources to the greatest extent
possible as described in the permit application. A copy of the permit application can be found at
http://www.ncdot.org/pialinin/pe/naturalunit/Applications.htmi. The remaining impacts to
jurisdictional resources will be compensated for by mitigation provided by the EEP program. We
estimate that 0.246 acres of coastal plain, bottomland hardwood, riverine wetlands will be
impacted.
The project is located in the coastal plain Physiographic Province in Halifax County in the Tar-
Pam River basin in Hydrological Cataloguing Unit 03020102.
Please send the letter of confirmation to Mr. Mike Bell, P.W.S. at U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers Washington Regulatory Field Office, P.O. Box 1000, Washington, NC 27889-1000.

You have our approval, in accordance with the conditions listed below, for the following impacts for the purpose of
replacing Bridge No. 145 over Hawtree Creek on SR 1333 in Halifax County:

described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the
conditions listed in the attached certification.
1.) Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of
Completion Form" to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. The
responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of
Water Quality upon completion of the project.
2.) All stormwater runoff shall be directed to sheetflow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless
approved otherwise by this certification.
3.) During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
4.) The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures will need to return the project site to its
preconstruction contours and elevations.
5.) When the old bridge is removed, no discharge of bridge material into surface waters is preferred. Strict
adherence the Corps of Engineers guidelines for bridge demolition will be a condition of the 401 Water Quality
Certification.
6.) Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction.
7.) The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified by
widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be
restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
8.) Any riprap used must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow
conditions.
9.) All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
10.) Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface
waters is prohibited.
11.) The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this
authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts
to areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
12.) There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or borrow sites be located in wetlands or
stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is a direct impact from road construction activities.
13.) Pursuant to NCAC15A 2B.0259(6), sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any
Neuse Buffer without prior approval by the NCDWQ. At this time, the NCDWQ has approved no sediment and
erosion control devices in Zone 1, outside of the approved project fill, anywhere on this project. Moreover,
sediment and erosion control devices shall be allowed in Zone 2 of the buffers provided that Zone 1 is not
compromised and that discharge is released as diffuse flow.
14.) Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
r
15.) No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened
16.) The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock, sand or
other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit, except in the
immediate vicinity of the culverts.
17.) All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions.
18.) All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1.
19.) A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be posted on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division
Engineer and the on-site project manager.
20.) All protected riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be restored
to the preconstruction contours and revegetated with native woody species upon completion of the project
construction. A post-construction as-built with the restoration activities included shall be submitted to the
DWQ no later than 60 days after the project is closed out by the Department of Transportation.

Subject: Revised Minutes of the Interagency Hydraulic Design Review Meeting on August 21, 2003
for B-3182 Halifax County (revised 9/8/03)
Participants: Team Members:

Jerry Snead, NCDOT Hydraulics
The meeting began with Randy Henegar presenting an overview of the constructability issues recently discussed
by NCDOT staff in previous meetings held in July 2003. Primarily, the problem involves relocation of a water
line and the shallow depth to rock, which complicate construction phasing for the currently proposed culvert.
The following three alternatives with associated cost estimates were presented:
1. Use port-a-dam in lieu of sheet piling for dewatering site. Cost: $250,000
2. Use temporary diversion channel to divert flow around construction. Cost: $240,000
3. Replace bridge with a cored-slab bridge (approx. 70 ft. x 40 ft.). Cost: $323,000
The following items were discussed:
1. Replace with bridge: It was agreed by all that the bridge should be replaced with a bridge due to concerns
with mussel habitat two miles downstream. Travis Wilson suggested that the information upon which the
mussel concern is based is probably from a survey over two years old and felt a new survey may be
warranted.* There is also a moratorium against clearing and grubbing activities from November to April,
which will drive the construction schedule for this project.
2. Avoid water line: John Frye and Randy Henegar agreed that, if possible, we would try to design the bridge to
avoid relocation of the water line. This appears possible, but we will not know for certain until more detailed
information is available in the final design phase.
Offsite detour and minimization of in-stream work: It was noted that the roadway would be closed during
construction with traffic detoured offsite. It is anticipated that "top-down" construction methods could be
utilized, and that drilled piers could be constructed from the existing bridge, and if a pier must be in the water,
we would locate as close as possible to the edge of the stream, and if possible, we will try to keep the piers out
of the stream.
4. Planning document and permit: Joel Johnson indicated that the design change could be handled through a
consultation with respect to the currently approved planning document, and that NCDOT personnel would
then pursue obtaining a new permit from the Corps of Engineers. Randy Henegar stated that the bridge could
likely be designed such that any impacts to wetlands north of the roadway would be offset ("zeroed out") by
adjusting the proposed bridge length accordingly.
5. Schedule: Hydraulics agreed to proceed with the design change immediately, so that Structures Design Unit
can have the information needed to complete their design in time for a June letting. John Frye stated that they
would need at least nine months to allow time to send the Geotechnical Unit out for more information.

Re: Permit Application for proposed replacement of Bridge No. 145 over Hawtree Creek on SR 1333 in Halifax
County, DWQ No. 041333, TIP No. B-3182
Dear Dr. Thorpe:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your submittal for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the
aforementioned project. Review of your application revealed it lacking necessary information required for making
an informed permit decision. The permit application was deficient in the following areas:
?• A bridge bent is proposed within the stream channel of Hawtree Creek. This office prefers that bridge bents not
be located in the stream channel. Please explain the engineering constraints that require the bent to be placed in
000 the stream.
Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 21-1.0507(a)(5), we will have to place the permit application on hold until we are
supplied the necessary information. Furthermore, until the information is received by the NC Division of Water
Quality, we request (by copy of this letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers place the permit application on
hold.
Hopefully, we can work together to expedite the processing of your permit application. If you have any questions or
require additional information, please contact Nicole Thomson at 919-715-3415.

WATER QUALIi'Y SECTION
Subject: Nationwide 23 and 33 Permit Application for the Replacement of Bridge
No. 145 over Hawtree Creek on SR 1333, Halifax County, Federal Aid
Project No. BRZ-1333(4), State Project No. 8.2301001, TIP B-3182, Division
4. $Zov
Please find enclosed three copies of the project planning report for the above referenced
project. NCDOT plans to replace Bridge No. 145 over Hawtree Creek (Class C NSM at
the same location with a new bridge. The new structure will be approximately 70 feet in
length with a 38-foot clear roadway width. The bridge will have two 12.0-foot travel
lanes. The new approach roadway will include two 12-foot travel lanes, and 8-foot grass
shoulders on each side.
Construction of the bridge will result in permanent jurisdictional wetland impacts totaling
0.246 acres. There are also minimal temporary impacts due to fill associated with the
temporary causeway. There will be less than 0.01 acres of permanent impacts to surface
waters due to a bridge bent.
During construction, traffic will be maintained by an offsite detour.
Bridge Demolition
Bridge No. 145 is composed of a concrete deck with an asphalt-wearing surface on
timber joists. The bridge has reinforced concrete cap and timber pile bents and end bents.
The existing structure is 47 feet long and 25 feet wide consisting of three spans. Due to
the structural components of the bridge, the potential temporary fill that may be dropped
into the "Waters of the United States" is 24 cubic yards. Any temporary fill that enters
the stream will be removed when construction ends.
Temporary Causeway
There will be 0.004 ac. temporary stream impacts from the construction of temporary
rock causeway in Hawtree Creek for the construction of Bridge No. 145. The temporary
rock causeway will be required for the construction of the interior bent in order to
provide for construction access. The causeway will consist of Class II riprap and is
detailed on sheet 5 of 5.
Restoration Plan: No permanent fill will result from the subject activity. The materials
used as temporary fill in the construction of the causeway will be removed and graded
back to the original contours.
Schedule for Construction of Causeway: It is assumed that the contractor will begin
construction of the proposed causeway shortly after the date of availability for the
project. The Let date is March 15, 2005 with a date of availability of April 18, 2005.
Removal and Disposal: The causeway will be removed within 90 days of the completion
of the deck slab for the bridge. The temporary rock causeway will be removed by the
contractor using excavating equipment. All materials placed in the stream by the
contractor will be removed. The Class II riprap that is removed may be used on end
slopes where Class II riprap is required at the discretion of the engineer. All other
materials removed by the contractor will be disposed of at an off-site location.
Compensatory Mitigation
The necessary compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable impacts to waters that are
jurisdictional under the federal Clean Water Act will be provided by the Ecosystem
Enhancement Program (EEP). The NCDOT has avoided and minimized impacts to
jurisdictional resources to the greatest extent possible. The remaining, unavoidable
impacts to 0.246 acres of jurisdictional wetlands will be offset by compensatory
mitigation provided by the EEP program.
Federally Protected Species
Some populations of fauna and flora have been in, or are in, the process of decline either
due to natural forces or their inability to co-exist with human activities. Federal law
(under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended)
requires that any action likely to adversely affect a species classified as federally
protected be subject to review by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
Other species may receive additional protection under separate state laws. Plants and
animals with federal classifications of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Proposed
Endangered (PE) and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected under provisions of ESA
§§7 and 9, as amended.
As of January 29, 2003, the USFWS lists 4 federally protected species for Halifax
County. Table 1 depicts these species. The biological conclusion for the protected
species is: "No Effect".
Table 1. Federally protected species for Halifax County**

** Obtained from the US Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service,
Threatened and Endangered Species of North Carolina, Halifax County, (January 29,
2003).
Note for Status:
• Threatened (T) denotes a taxon "likely to become an endangered species within the
foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. "
• Endangered (E) denotes a taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a
significant portion of its range. "
Tar-Pamlico River Basin Buffer Rules
As previously noted, this project is located in the Tar-Pamlico River Basin (HUC
03020102); therefore, the regulations pertaining to the buffer rules apply. Buffer impacts
associated with this project total 5798.0 sq. ft. for Zone 1 and 2707.0 sq. ft. for Zone 2.
All practicable measures to minimize impacts within buffer zones were followed.
According to the buffer rules, bridges are allowable. Uses designated as allowable may
proceed within the riparian buffer provided that there are no practicable alternatives to
the requested use pursuant to Item (8) of this Rule. These uses require written
authorization from the Division or the delegated local authority.
NCDOT requests written authorization for the proposed buffer impacts from the Division
of Water Quality.
Regulatory Approvals
Section 404 Permit: This project is being processed by the Federal Highway
Administration as a "Categorical Exclusion" in accordance with 23 CFR 771.115(b).
Therefore, we do not anticipate requesting an individual permit but propose to proceed
under a Nationwide 23 and 33 as authorized by a Nationwide Permit 23 and 33 (67 FR

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

components will also be removed without dropping any of the components into the water. A
maximum of 24 cubic yards of temporary fill from the concrete components into the waters
may be expected. The replacement structure will consist of a 70-foot long bridge widened to
38 feet. The existing roadwav before and after the bridge will be widened to 24 feet and 8-
foot wide turf shoulders will be provided on each side. The equipment needed is standard
paving equipment including pavers and rollers, and grading equipment including backhoes
and motor graders.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of the proposed work is to replace
Bridge No. 145 over Hawtree Creek which is considered to be structurally deficient and
functionally obsolete. The replacement of the bridge will result in safer traffic operations.

information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
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.
Traffic will be detoured off-site using existinlLy local roads.. All excavated materials will be
removed from the site.
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
Page 9 of 12
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
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/strmgide.htm1.

CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION ACTION CLASSIFICATION FORM
TIP Project No. B-3182
State Project No. 8.2301001
Federal Project No. BRZ-1333 (4)
A. Project Description:
This project proposes to replace Bridge No. 145 on SR 1333 over
Hawthorne Creek in Halifax County. Bridge No. 145 will be replaced with a
two-barrel [each 12 feet (3.6 m) by 9 feet (2.7 m)] reinforced concrete box
culvert. The proposed roadway cross section will include two 11-foot (3.3-m)
lanes with 6-foot (1.8-m) grassed shoulders. Shoulders will be 9 feet (2.7 m)
where guardrail is installed. Approach work will consist of resurfacing and tying
in to the existing roadway. The total project length is approximately 145 feet
(44.2 m). Traffic will be detoured along surrounding roads during construction.
B. Purpose and Need:
Bridge No. 145 has a sufficiency rating of 44.0 out of a possible 100. The
deck and substructure of the bridge are in poor condition. Therefore, Bridge
No. 145 needs to be replaced.
C. Proposed Improvements:
The following Type II improvements which apply to the project are circled:
Modernization of a highway by resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation,
reconstruction, adding shoulders, or adding auxiliary lanes (e.g., parking,
weaving, turning, climbing).
a. Restoring, Resurfacing, Rehabilitating, and Reconstructing
pavement (3R and 4R improvements)
b. Widening roadway and shoulders without adding through lanes
c. Modernizing gore treatments
d. Constructing lane improvements (merge, auxiliary, and turn lanes)
e. Adding shoulder drains
f. Replacing and rehabilitating culverts, inlets, and drainage pipes,
including safety treatments
g. Providing driveway pipes
h. Performing minor bridge widening (less than one through lane)
2. Highway safety or traffic operations improvement projects including the
installation of ramp metering control devices and lighting.
a. Installing ramp metering devices
b. Installing lights
c. Adding or upgrading guardrail
d. Installing safety barriers including Jersey type barriers and pier
protection
e. Installing or replacing impact attenuators
f. Upgrading medians including adding or upgrading median barriers
g. Improving intersections including relocation and/or realignment
h. Making minor roadway realignment
i. Channelizing traffic
j. Performing clear zone safety improvements including removing
hazards and flattening slopes
k. Implementing traffic aid systems, signals, and motorist aid
1. Installing bridge safety hardware including bridge rail retrofit
O Bridge rehabilitation, reconstruction, or replacement or the construction of
grade separation to replace existing at-grade railroad crossings.
a. Rehabilitating, reconstructing, or replacing bridge approach slabs
b. Rehabilitating or replacing bridge decks
c. Rehabilitating bridges including painting (no red lead paint), scour
repair, fender systems, and minor structural improvements
Od Replacing a bridge (structure and/or fill)
4. Transportation corridor fringe parking facilities.
5. Construction of new truck weigh stations or rest areas.
6. Approvals for disposal of excess right-of-way or for joint or limited use of
right-of-way, where the proposed use does not have significant adverse
impacts.
7. Approvals for changes in access control.
8. Construction of new bus storage and maintenance facilities in areas used
predominantly for industrial or transportation purposes where such
construction is not inconsistent with existing zoning and located on or near
a street with adequate capacity to handle anticipated bus and support
vehicle traffic.
9. Rehabilitation or reconstruction of existing rail and bus buildings and
ancillary facilities where only minor amounts of additional land are
required and there is not a substantial increase in the number of users.
10. Construction of bus transfer facilities (an open area consisting of
passenger shelters, boarding areas, kiosks and related street
improvements) when located in a commercial area or other high activity
center in which there is adequate street capacity for projected bus traffic.
11. Construction of rail storage and maintenance facilities in areas used
predominantly for industrial or transportation purposes where such
construction is not inconsistent with existing zoning and where there is no
significant noise impact on the surrounding community.
12. Acquisition of land for hardship or protective purposes, advance land
acquisition loans under section 3(b) of the UMT Act. Hardship and
protective buying will be permitted only for a particular parcel or a limited
number of parcels. These types of land acquisition qualify for a CE only
where the acquisition will not limit the evaluation of alternatives,
including shifts in alignment for planned construction projects, which may
2
be required in the NEPA process. No project development on such land
may proceed until the NEPA process has been completed.
D. Special Project Information:
Estimated Costs:
Total Construction $ 225,000
Right of Way 40,000
Total $ 265,000
Estimated Traffic:
Current - 1200 vpd
Year 2025 - 2100 vpd
TTST - 2%
Dual - 3%
Proposed Typical Cross Section:
The proposed approach roadway cross section will include two
11-foot (3.3-m) lanes with 6-foot (1.8-m) grassed shoulders. Where guardrail is
installed, shoulders will be 9 feet (2.7 m) wide.
Design Speed:
60 mph (100 km/h)
Functional Classification:
Rural Local Route
Division Office Comments:
The Division Four-Construction Office concurs with the recommendation
of detouring traffic along surrounding roads during construction.
Bridge Demolition:
Bridge No. 145 has an asphalt overlay surface on reinforced concrete floor
on timber joists. The bridge has reinforced concrete cap and timber pile bents and
end bents. The bridge is 47 feet (14.3 m) long and 25 feet (7.6 m) wide. The creek
is approximately 45 feet (13.7 m) wide at the bridge crossing. There is the
potential for parts of all three spans of the bridge deck to be dropped into the
water during removal of this bridge. The resulting temporary fill associated with
the bridge into Waters of the United States is approximately 24 cubic yards of
material. All temporary fill material will be removed from the creek as soon as
possible as part of the bridge removal process.

Item 2 - The federally protected species Tar spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana)
is known to occur in Little Fishing Creek in the vicinity of the Hawthorne Creek
confluence. Therefore, mussel surveys were conducted for both the Tar
spinymussel and the Dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), both
federally protected species listed by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service for
Halifax County.
Mussel surveys were conducted on June 28, 2001 by NCDOT biologists Logan
Williams and Jeff Burleson using SCUBA for a distance of approximately 100
feet upstream and downstream of the bridge site. Neither the Tar spinymussel nor
the dwarf wedge mussel was found at the bridge site.
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) was consulted in regard to the
effect of project construction on the Tar Spinymussel and the dwarf wedge
mussel (see attachment). The USFWS concurred in the biological conclusion that
project construction is "Not Likely to Adversely Affect" the Tar Spinymussel and
the dwarf wedge mussel if the following environmental commitments are
implemented:
1) A moratorium on clearing and grubbing will be implemented so that no work
will occur between November 15 and April 1.
2) Weep holes will be configured so that run-off does not fall into the stream.

3) The NCDOT resident engineer will be responsible for providing a written
invitation to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, Nongame
and Protected Species Branch and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service to the
pre-construction meeting for this project.
4) The erosion control plans for Protected Aquatic Species will be used. These
plans include the following requirements:
¦ Sediment and Erosion controls must be in place prior to land clearing
activities. No sediment from either bridge demolition or construction
activities will be allowed to enter the flowing stream.
¦ "Environmentally Sensitive Areas" will be defined on the plans, which
consist of a 50-foot buffer zone on both sides of the stream.
¦ The Contractor may perform clearing operations, but no grubbing
operations in the "Environmentally Sensitive Areas", until immediately
prior to beginning grading operations.
¦ Once grading operations begin in the "Environmentally Sensitive
Areas", as specified on the plans, work will progress in a continuous
manner until complete.
• Seeding and mulching will be performed immediately following final
grade establishment.
¦ Stage seeding will be performed on cut and fill slopes as a grading
process.

We regret staff was unable to attend the scoping meeting for the above project on
December 8, 1998. However, Debbie Bevin met with John Williams of the North
Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) on January 4, 1999, to discuss
the project and view the project photographs and aerial.
Based upon our review of the photographs and the information discussed at the
meeting, we offer our preliminary comments regarding this project.
In terms of historic architectural resources, we are aware of no historic structures
located within the area of potential effect. We recommend that no historic
architectural survey be conducted for this project.
There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area. Based
on our present knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any archaeological
resources which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places will be affected by the project construction. We, therefore, recommend that
no archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project.
Having provided this information, we look forward to receipt of either a Categorical
Exclusion or Environmental Assessment which indicates how NCDOT addressed our
comments.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966 and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified at 36 CFR Part 800.

Subject: Replacement of Bridge Number 145 over Hawthorne Creek on SR
1333, TIP B-3182, F.A. Project BRZ-1333(4), State project
8.230100 1, Halifax County.
The following memo addresses the dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) and
Tar spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana), two federally protected species listed by the U.S
Fish and Wildlife Service for Halifax County. A mussel survey was conducted for the
proposed bridge replacement on June 28, 2001 by NCDOT biologists Logan Williams
and Jeff Burleson.
Mussel surveys were conducted at the bridge site and for a distance of
approximately 100 feet upstream and downstream using SCUBA for approximately one
man hour. Water depth at the bridge site averaged around 6 feet and visibility was poor.
Habitat in the vicinity of the bridge is somewhat degraded due to sediment loads and
debris. No mussels were found during the survey. Neither the dwarf wedge mussel nor
the Tar spinymussel was not found.
Biological Conclusion: Not Likely to Adversely Affect
May 14, 2001
LYNDo TIPPETT
SECRETARY
Given the survey results it is apparent that neither the dwarf wedge mussel nor the
Tar spinymussel occur in the project footprint. However, the Tar spinymussel has been
recorded in Little Fishing Creek which is approximately 2 miles downstream from the
proposed bridge replacement. A list of Environmental Commitments proposed by
NCDOT for the construction of this project is listed below. Habitat at the bridge site is
not present, the following conditions should be adhered to in order to protect downstream
populations of Tar spinymussel in Little Fishing Creek. Given the survey results and it
can be concluded that project construction is "Not Likely to Adversely Affect" these
species.

SR 1333 in Halifax County
c. State Project: 8.2301001
Federal Project: BRZ-1333(4)
d. Document Type: Programmatic Categorical Exclusion 10-3-01
II. ACTION PROPOSED IN CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION
This project proposes to replace Bridge No. 145 with a double barreled reinforced
concrete box culvert at approximately the same location as the existing bridge.
M. CONCLUSIONS
The Programmatic Categorical Exclusion has been reevaluated as required by 23
CFR 771. It was determined that the current proposed action is essentially the same as
the action proposed in the previous documents. Proposed changes, if any, are noted
below in Section IV. It has been determined that anticipated social, economic, and
environmental impacts were accurately described in the Categorical Exclusion unless
noted otherwise herein. Therefore, the previous Administration Action remains valid.
IV. CHANGES IN PROPOSED ACTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES
The new structure will be a bridge instead of a culvert. The change in design is to
avoid moving a water line. In addition, the rock line was too shallow to allow the
construction of a culvert.
The Threatened and Endangered Species list has not changed according
Christopher Underwood, Environmental Specialist. A mussel survey was conducted on
August 26, 2003 by John M. Alderman and Logan Williams. The biological conclusion
was no effect for federally listed species.
V. LIST OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENTS
All standard procedures and measures will be implemented to avoid or minimize
environmental impacts. All practical Best Management Practices (BMP's) will be
included and properly maintained during project construction.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33
U.S.C. 1344), a permit will be required from the Corps of Engineers for the discharge of
dredged or fill material into "Waters of the United States." A Corps of Engineers
Nationwide Permit # 23 will likely be applicable for this project
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (DEM) Section 401
Water Quality General Certification will be obtained prior to issue of the Army Corps of
Engineers Nationwide Permit # 23.
The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) was consulted in regard to the
effect of project construction on two federally protected species, the Tar Spinymussel and
the dwarf wedge mussel. The following commitments will be implemented by NCDOT
in concurrence with the USFWS:
1) A moratorium on clearing and grubbing will be implemented so that no work will
occur between November 15 and April 1.
2) Weep holes will be configured so that run-off does not fall into the stream.
3) The NCDOT resident engineer will be responsible for providing a written invitation
to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, Nongame and Protected
Species Branch and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service to the pre-construction

4) The erosion control plans for Protected Aquatic Species will be used. These plans
include the following requirements:
¦ Sediment and Erosion controls must be in place prior to land clearing activities.
No sediment from either bridge demolition or construction activities will be
allowed to enter the flowing stream.
¦ "Environmentally Sensitive Areas" will be defined on the plans, which consist
