INTRODUCTION: Bridge No.'s 12, 18 and 42 are included in the latest approved North
Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Transportation Improvement Program and
are eligible for the Federal-Aid Bridge Replacement Program. The location is shown in
Figure 1.
1. PURPOSE AND NEED STATEMENT
NCDOT Bridge Management Unit records indicate the sufficiency ratings for Bridge No.'s
12, 18, and 42 are 4, 6, and 40.7 (respectively) out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The
bridges are considered structurally deficient due to superstructure condition ratings of 4 out of
9, according to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards, and therefore eligible for
FHWA's Bridge Replacement Program.
Bridge No.'s 12, 18 and 42 have fifty-seven year old superstructure and substructure
components which have experienced an increasing degree of deterioration that can no longer
be addressed by maintenance activities. Bridge No. 12 consists of a Pennsylvania thru-truss
span and reinforced concrete deck girder approach spans superstructure supported by both
reinforced concrete post and beam substructure and reinforced concrete cap / pile
substructure. Components of the thru-truss have been damaged on numerous occasions by log
trucks due to the low clearance the truss provides. Steel crutch bents have been added to two
spans. Bridge No's 18 and 42 consist of reinforced concrete deck girder superstructures
supported by reinforced concrete cap / pile substructures. Bridge No. 18 has required shoring
to support spalled girder ends to allow the bridge to remain open. The posted weight limit on
Bridge No. 12 is 40 tons for single vehicles and 43 tons for truck-tractor semi-trailers. These
bridges have reached the end of their useful life. Replacement of the bridges will result in
safer traffic operations.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project is located approximately 5 miles east northeast of East Arcadia, outside of any
city limits, just north of the Pender County line (see Figure 1). Development in the area is
agricultural and residential in nature.
NC 11 is classified as a major collector in the Statewide Functional Classification System and
it is not a National Highway System Route.
In the vicinity of these bridges, NC I 1 has a 22-foot pavement width with 2-foot grass
shoulders (see Figure 3). The roadway grade is in a vertical curve through the project area.
The existing bridge is on a tangent. The roadway is situated approximately 58.0 feet above the
river bed at Bridge No. 12, 18.0 feet above the river bed at Bridge No. 18, and 17.0 feet above
the river bed at Bridge No. 42.
There are no utilities attached Bridge No.'s 12 and 42. Bridge No. 18 has utilities attached,
but they are not in use. Overhead power lines cross the river and overflow just north of the
bridge. Utility impacts are anticipated to be high.
The current (2009) estimated traffic volume of 3,240 vehicles per day (VPD) is expected to
increase to 6,900 VPD by the year 2035. The projected volume includes twenty-eight percent
truck-tractor semi-trailer (TTST) and six percent dual-tired vehicles (DT); a large percentage
being associated with hog and logging industry. The posted speed limit is 55 miles per hour in
the project area. School buses cross the bridge daily on their morning and afternoon routes.
There were six accidents reported in the vicinity of Bridge No.'s 12, 18 and 42 during a recent
three-year period. None of the six accidents were associated with the alignment or geometry
of the bridge or its approach roadway.
Bridge No. 12 spans waters considered to be navigational by the United States Coast Guard.
A navigational channel is delineated by both buoys in the water and navigational lights
attached to the bridge.
III. ALTERNATIVES
A. Project Description
The replacement structures for Bridge No.'s 12, 18 and 42 will consist of a bridge
approximately 1,260-foot long, 360-foot, and 360-foot respectively. These bridge lengths are
based on preliminary design information and are set by hydraulic requirements. The bridges
will be of sufficient width to provide for two 12-foot lanes with 4-foot offsets on each side.
The roadway grade of each new structure will be approximately the same as the existing
grade.
The existing roadway will be widened to a 24-foot pavement width to provide two 12-foot
lanes. Two-foot paved shoulders will be provided on each side.
The project area is not along a designated bicycle route and there is no indication that an
unusual number of bicyclists and/or pedestrians use this roadway. Therefore, bicycle and/or
pedestrian accommodations have not been provided.
B. Reasonable and Feasible Alternatives
One alternative for replacing Bridge No.'s 12, 18 and 42 was studied in detail as described
below.
Alternate 1
Alternate 1 involves replacement of the existing structures along a new roadway alignment to
the west. Approach roadways will be required for a distance of approximately 1,215-feet to
the south of Bridge No. 12 and 1,885-feet to the north of Bridge No. 42. This alternate will be
designed using AASHTO guidelines with a design speed of 60 miles per hour. Traffic will be
maintained onsite during the construction period.
NCDOT Guidelines for Evaluation of Offsite Detours for Bridge Replacement Projects
considers multiple project variables beginning with the additional time traveled by the
average road user resulting from the offsite detour. Because of the limited number of
structures crossing the Cape Fear River in this area, the use of an offsite detour would require
road users to travel an additional 30 miles, adding an additional 45 minutes of travel time.
Based on the guidelines, use of an offsite-detour is unacceptable.
Bladen County Emergency Services has also indicated that if an offsite detour is used, an
additional facility would need to be constructed in East Arcadia.. Bladen County School
system indicated that an off-site detour would require school children to remain on the bus a
minimum of an additional hour in each direction. In addition, Bladen County Schools uses
the same busses to transport school children to all of the different school systems (grade
school to high school) which would cause some children to be picked up as much as three
hours prior to the beginning of the school day and remain at the school possibly two hours
past the end of the school day. Additionally, activity busses utilize the bridge for school
related activities. While project costs and environmental impacts will be higher, maintenance
of traffic onsite during construction is essential.
C. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Consideration
The "do-nothing" alternative will eventually necessitate closure of the bridges. This is not
acceptable due to the traffic service provided by NC 11.
"Rehabilitation" of the old bridges is not practical due to their age and deteriorated condition.
Each bridge would require extensive rehabilitation to both the superstructure and the
substructure. Rehabilitation would require temporary structures to be constructed to maintain
traffic since traffic would not be able to be maintained on the existing structures.
Staged Construction is not possible due to the superstructure types and narrow existing bridge
widths. Bridge No. 12 has a truss span which can't be partially removed and Bridge No.'s 18
and 42 are deck girder bridges with deck girders spaced so as not to provide adequate bridge
width after partial removal to maintain traffic.
Replacement of each bridge in its existing location while maintaining traffic using temporary
structures was considered. This alternative was considered unfavorable due to the anticipated
cost of the temporary structures and approach work.
Replacement of Bridge No. 12 in its existing location and replacing Bridge No.'s 18 and 42
with one single bridge, along the existing alignment, while maintaining traffic using
temporary structures was considered. This alternative was also considered unfavorable due to
the anticipated cost of the temporary structures and approach work.
Replacement of Bridge No. 12 along a new alignment to the west and replacing Bridge No.'s
18 and 42 with one single bridge, along a new alignment to the west, while maintaining traffic
on the existing structures was considered. Because of the difficulty of maintaining the
existing causeway between the two bridges while removing the causeway area for the single
bridge, this alternative was eliminated.
Replacement of the three bridges with one single bridge along a new alignment to the west
was considered. This alternative was considered unfavorable due to the high cost of such a
long structure.
D. Preferred Alternative
Bridge No.'s 12, 18 and 42 will be replaced along a new alignment to the west as shown by
Alternative 1 in Figure 2. Removal of the existing causeways will reduce the final
environmental impact amount.
NCDOT Division 6 Construction Engineer concurs with the selection of Alternative 1 as the
preferred alternative.

V. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
Physical Characteristics
The proposed project lies in a rural area of southeastern Bladen County within the Coastal
Plain physiographic province of the eastern portion of North Carolina. Elevations in the area
range from approximately 10-feet on the river floodplain to 40-feet on the bluffs south of the
Cape Fear River. Land use in the project vicinity is mainly agricultural and forestry;
interspersed with rural residential development.
Water Resources
The project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin (CFR 17 sub-basin, HUC 0303005). The
Cape Fear River originates at the confluence of the Haw River and Deep River 100 miles
northwest of the project area. From the project area, the river meanders in a southwest
direction about 38 miles to the Atlantic Ocean.
The Cape Fear River [Index # 18-(59)] is classified as a WS-IV Sw water body. There are no
waters classified as High Quality Water (HQW), Water Supplies (WS-I or WS-II) or
Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) that occur within 1.0 miles of the project area.
Biotic Resources
Seven terrestrial communities were identified within the project area: disturbed roadside,
mixed pine-hardwood forest, residential-agricultural, river bluff, levee forest, bottomland
hardwood, and floodplain slough-roadside canal.
In the project area, the Cape Fear River supports populations of largemouth bass, spotted bass,
redbreast sunfish, spotted sucker, creek chubsucker, chain pickerel, bowfin, American eel,
flathead catfish, channel catfish, and various other sunfish, suckers, minnows, and catfish.
This area of the river also supports anadromous species such as striped bass and American
shad.
Moratorium
An in-stream moratorium should be observed from January 15 to June 15 for anadromous
fish.
Surface Waters and Wetlands
Jurisdictional wetlands occur within the project area and will be impacted by project
construction. Wetlands are present on both sides of NC 11 on the Cape Fear River floodplain.
Permits
In accordance with provisions of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344), an
individual permit (IP) is anticipated to be required for this project.
Coordination with the United States Coast Guard (USCG) has determined a need for a Coast
Guard Permit for this project. NCDOT will be submitting a request for the USCG to publish a
"Preliminary Public Notice for Navigational Opening" for this project to inform the local
citizens and the appropriate agencies of our intent to replace the bridge and reduce the
existing navigational opening.
Existing Bridge Removal
The existing structures will be removed using the guidelines established within the Best
Management Practices for Construction and Maintenance Activities.
Federally Protected Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of Endangered or Threatened are protected
under the provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The
United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) list six species under federal protection for
Bladen County as of November 6, 2009.
American Alligator Biological Conclusion: Not required
Species listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance do not require Section7
consultation with the USFWS.
Red-Cockaded woodpecker Biological Conclusion: No Effect
A search of the NHP files found no occurrences of the red-cockaded woodpecker in the
project vicinity. A field survey of the project area did not reveal any mature pine habitat
necessary for this species.
Shortnose Sturgeon Biological Conclusion: Unresolved
A search of the NHP files reveals several occurrences of shortnose sturgeon in the project
area.
American Chaffseed Biological Conclusion: No Effect
A search of the NHP files found no occurrences of American chaffseed in the project vicinity.
A field survey of the project area did not reveal any American chaffseed or suitable habitat for
this species.
Pondberry (Southern Spicebush) Biological Conclusion: Unresolved
A search of NHP files found no occurrences of pondberry in the project vicinity. A field
survey of the project area did not reveal any specimen but potential habitat was found. A
survey of the project area will be conducted during the flowering season; which is between
February and March.
Rough-leaved loosestrife Biological Conclusion: No Effect
A search of the NHP files found no occurrences of Rough-leaved loosestrife in the project
vicinity. A field survey of the project area did not reveal any rough-leaved loosestrife or
suitable habitat for this species.
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forest in proximity to large bodies of
open water for foraging. Large dominate trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically within
1.0 mile of open water. No potential foraging or nesting areas are located within the project
vicinity. Suitable habitat for the bald eagle is not present in the study area. A review of
NCNHP records, indicates no known bald eagle occurrence within 1.0 mile of the study area.
VI. HUMAN ENVIRONMENT
Section 106 Compliance Guidelines
This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act of 1966, as amended, and implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified at Title 36 CFR Part
800. Section 106 requires Federal agencies to take into account the effect of their
undertakings (federally funded, licensed, or permitted) on properties included in or eligible
for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and afford the Advisory Council a
reasonable opportunity to comment on such undertakings.
Historic Architecture
The Historic Preservation Office (HPO) reviewed the subject project and determined Bridge
No. 12 to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (see letter dated
May 15, 2008). It has also been determined that removal of the existing structure will have an
Adverse Effect to the historic structure, which will require a Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA). The MOA will be included in the final environmental document.
Archaeology
The State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) reviewed the subject project. There are no
known archaeological sites within the proposed project area, and no archaeological
investigation need to be conducted (see letter dated May 15, 2002).
Section 4 (f)
Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (49 U.S.C 303) protects the use
of publicly owned parks, recreational areas, wildlife/waterfowl refuges, and historic
properties.
The proposed project requires the use of Bridge No. 12, a National Register of Historic Places
eligible historic bridge. The existing bridge cannot be preserved due to the extent of
rehabilitation. In addition, the bridge is so structurally deficient that it cannot be rehabilitated
to meet acceptable load requirements. The "do nothing" alternative does not correct the
problems causing the bridge to be considered deficient and the bridge will eventually need to
be closed. Specific measures to minimize harm will be identified in the final environmental
document. A Programmatic 4(f) will be prepared and included in the FoNSI.
Community Impacts
No adverse impact on families or communities is an Right-of-way acquisition will be
limited. No relocates' are expected with implementation of the proposed alternative.
No adverse effect on public facilities or services is expected. The project is not expected to
adversely affect social, economic, or religious opportunities in the area.
The project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulation. No change
in land use is expected to result from the construction of the project.
The Farmland Protection Policy Act requires all federal agencies or their representatives to
consider the potential impact to prime farmland of all land acquisition and construction
projects. There are no soils classified as prime, unique, or having state or local importance in
the vicinity of the project. Therefore, the project will not involve the direct conversion of
farmland acreage within these classifications.
The project will not have a disproportionately high and adverse human health and
environmental effect on any minority or low-income population.
S'
Noise & Air Quality
The project is located in Bladen County, which has been determined to comply with the
National Air Quality Standards. The proposed project is located in an attainment area;
therefore, 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93 are not applicable. This project is not anticipated to create
any adverse effects on the air quality of this attainment area.
This project will not result in any meaningful changes in traffic volume, vehicle mix, location
of the existing facility, or any other factor that would cause an increase in emissions impacts
relative to the no-build alternative. As such FHWA has determined that this project will
generate minimal air quality impacts for Clean Air Act criteria pollutants and has not been
linked with any special MSAT concerns. Consequently this effort is exempt from analysis for
MSAT's.
Noise levels may increase during project construction; however, these impacts are not
expected to be substantial considering the relatively short-term nature of construction noise
and the limitation of construction to daytime hours. The transmission loss characteristics of
nearby natural elements and man-made structures are believed to be sufficient to moderate the
effects of intrusive construction noise.
VII. GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The project is expected to have an overall positive impact. Replacement of an inadequate
bridges will result in safer traffic operations.
The bridge replacement will not have an adverse effect on the quality of the human or natural
environment with the use of the current North Carolina Department of Transportation
standards and specifications.
An examination of records at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, Division of Environmental Management, Groundwater Section and the North
Carolina Department of Human Resources, Solid Waste Management Section revealed no
underground storage tanks or hazardous waste sites in the project area.
Bladen County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program. There are no
practical alternatives to crossing the floodplain area. Any shift in alignment will result in an
impact area of about the same magnitude. The proposed project is not anticipated to increase
the level or extent of upstream flood potential.
VIII. COORDINATION & AGENCY COMMENTS
NCDOT has sought input from the following agencies as a part of the project development:
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NC Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service, N.C Wildlife Resource Commission, N.C. Division of Coastal Management, N.C.
Division of Parks & Recreation, North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, Bladen
County Planning Department, N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries
Service.
The N.C. Wildlife Resource Commission requested an in-stream moratorium for this project
due to the presence of shormose sturgeon. This commitment has been added to the project
commitment green sheet.
IX. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
A letter was sent by the Location & Surveys Unit to all property owners affected directly by
this project. Property owners were invited to comment. No comments have been received to
date.
X. Public Hearing
A newsletter will be distributed to residents directly impacted by the proposed project, to
determine the need for a public hearing. If a public hearing is required, more detailed
information about the proposed improvements will be made available for the public. The
public will be invited to make comments or voice concerns regarding the proposed action. A
final decision with regard to the preferred alternative will not be made until all public hearing
comments are fully evaluated.
If it is determined that a public hearing is not required, comments provided by the public will
be included in the FONSI.
