Project Description
Replace existing 80.9' long by 19.3' (clear roadway) wide concrete deck bridge with timber joists, timber
caps, timber piles, and timber crutch bents with a 21" concrete cored slab bridge that is proposed to be
117'-3" long by 27' (clear roadway) wide and supported by reinforced concrete on steel piles. Age of the
bridge and safety inspection reports dictate the need for replacement of this bridge. There will be no
impacts to jurisdictional waters and wetlands during bridge construction and guardrail installation. The
longer bridge will result in approximately 1065 square feet of excavated roadway fill beneath the new
structure. This project does involve Section 10 (Rivers and Harbors Act) navigable waters. This project
does not require the completion of a formal PCN but notification to the Corps is being provided to be
included in their database. This conveyance is shown on the Phillips Crossroads USGS Quad Map and
Sheet Number 4 of the Soil Survey of Jones County. The channel is 45 feet wide from bank top to bank
top and drains a woodland/agricultural area. No federally protected species or historic resources are
immediately adjacent to this location.
In order to ensure compliance with best management practices, all attached General and Regional
Conditions associated with Nationwide Permit 3 and Water Quality Certification #3494 must be followed.
Keep demolition and construction debris out of the stream. Riprap will not be placed below the
plane of ordinary high water for stabilization. Excavation should be confined to the right of way,
and limited to the minimum amount required to excavate in high ground for the construction of the
new bridge. All excavated material should be removed from the site, placed on existing spoil piles, or
disposed of in farm fields.
All Erosion and Sedimentation measures and Maintenance Best Management Practices should be
implemented. I am forwarding a copy to Mr. Andy Blankenship in Roadside Environmental for his perusal
in E&S inspections. The project supervisor should always have this permit package, including the attached
General and Regional Conditions associated with the Nationwide Permit 3 and Water Quality Certification
#3494 on site during the bridge replacement. The project supervisor should notify me immediately if any
questions or concerns should arise before and during construction.

Jones 7 0 2590 1010 0
Net Total for Buffer 3600 (0.083 acres)
Impacts
The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated received March 7, 2006 for the purpose of
replacing Bridge 7 over Chinquapin Branch on SR 1129 (Free Bridge Rd) in Lenoir County. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3494. This
certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 3 issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the
Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits
before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water
Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying 404 permit issued by the US Army Corps of
Engineers (this supercedes Condition 1.3 of General Certification 3494 issued on December 31,2004).
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should your
project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit. a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given
a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or total impacts to streams or buffers (now or in the
future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as 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 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.
3.) Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.

4.) All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions;, ' .
5.) 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.
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.) 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.
8.) All stormwater runoff shall be directed to sheetflow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless approved
otherwise by this certification.
9.) 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.
10.) 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.
11.) Any riprap used must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions. `
12.) Pursuant to NCACI5A 2B .0233 (6), sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any Neuse
River 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 impacts, 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.
13.) Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper
design, installation, operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained
in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and
Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be such
that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment
and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste
pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
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.
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 fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1.
18.) 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.
19.) The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures will need to return the project site to its
preconstruction contours and elevations. The revegetation of the impacted areas with appropriate native species is
required.
20.) If the old bridge is removed, no discharge of bridge material into surface waters is preferred. Strict adherence to the
Corps of Engineers guidelines for bridge demolition will be a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
21.) 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.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within
60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition that conforms to Chapter 150B of
the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447.
This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.

measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of
wetlands or stream beds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above
structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be
maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. Additionally, when roadways, causeways or
other. fill projects are constructed across FEMA-designated floodways or wetlands,
openings such as culverts.or bridges must be provided to maintain the natural hydrology
of the system as well as prevent constriction of the floodway that may result in
destabilization of streams or wetlands. If more than 150 linear feet of additional stream is
filled, culverted, rip-rapped, relocated, excavated or dredged as a result of this permit,
then an application to DWQ is needed and compensatory mitigation may be required;
11. Additional site-specific conditions may be added to projects for which written concurrence
is required or requested under this Certification in order to ensure compliance with all
applicable water quality and effluent standards;

SUBJECT: Revised Nationwide Permit #3 for Jones #7 bridge replacement on
SR 1129 over Chinquapin Branch, Jones County
Expiration: 03 /18/2 007
DWQ Project Number 20060498
Date: April 4, 2006
The bridge design was revised after the Nationwide Permit #3 Application was initiated.
The amount of proposed Rip Rap was significantly reduced, therefore, the amounts of
allowable Riparian Buffer Zone Impacts were reduced as well. The 404 Impacts were
not affected and remained at zero area impacts. No proposed bents are located in the
stream, so no stream impacts are made. As in the original drawing, there will be no
wetland excavation nor temporary wetland fill.
Area 1 had a significant reduction in allowable Riparian Buffer Zone 1 Impacts, the
original area measured as 635 square feet, but now reduced to 55 square feet. The fill
removal area remained stable at 150 square feet. The allowable Riparian Buffer Zone 2
Impacts dropped from 315 square feet to 250 square feet. As previously stated, the
reduction is due to the difference of proposed Rip Rap on the project.
DIVISION Two • P.O. Box 1587 • GREENVILLE, N.C. 27835
PHONE [phone] • FAx [phone]

Area 2 saw reductions in allowable Riparian Buffer Zone 1 Impacts as well; with 465
square feet as the original area compared to 260 square feet for the revised plan. The fill
removal area remained constant at 325 square feet. Allowable Riparian Buffer Zone 2
Impacts remained stable at 170 square feet.
The allowable. Riparian Buffer Zone 1 Impacts in Area 3, originally measured as 725
square feet of impacts, reduced to 130 square feet of impacts. The fill removal area
remained at 325 square feet.
The revised area for allowable Riparian Buffer Zone 2 Impacts actually increased from
the original 200 square feet to the revised figure of 235 square feet of impacts.
Area 4 experienced substantial reductions in both Riparian Buffer Zones. The allowable
Riparian Buffer Zone 1 Impacts measured at 765 square feet, shrank to 235 square feet.
The fill removal figure remained at a constant 325 square feet. The original 325 square
foot area for Riparian Buffer Zone 2 shrank to 130 square feet of allowable impacts.
In conclusion, the allowable Riparian Buffer Zone 1 Impacts dropped from an original
2,590 square feet to 680 square feet (0.02 acres), with Riparian Buffer Zone 2 Impacts
reducing from 1,010 square feet of allowable impacts to 785 square feet (0.02 acres) of
allowable impacts. The original total impact was 3,600 square feet (0.083 acres). The
total area of impacts for the revised plan are 1,465 square feet (0.034 acres). There are
zero 404 wetland impacts and zero stream impacts in the revised plan.
If you have any questions, or if I can be of further assistance, please contact me

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The following Natural Resources Technical Report is submitted to assist in preparation of a Categorical
Exclusion (CE) for the proposed project. The project is located in northwestern Jones County (Figure
1).
1.1 Project Description
The proposed project calls for the replacement of Bridge No. 7 on State Road 1129, over Big
Chinquapin Branch. The project length is approximately 1,200.00 ft (365.76 m).
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this technical report is to inventory, catalog, and describe the various natural resources
that may be impacted by the proposed action. Recommendations are made for measures that will
minimize resource impacts. These descriptions and estimates are relevant only in the context of
the recommended project area. If the project area changes, additional field investigations may
need to be conducted.
1.3 Methodology
Research was conducted prior to field investigations. Information sources used in this pre-field
investigation of the project area include: Phillips Crossroads (1982) U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
quadrangle map, Phillips Crossroads (1994) U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) National Wetlands
Inventory Map, Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) soil maps, and NCDOT aerial
photographs of the project area (1:1;200). Water resource information was obtained from Department
of Environment and Natural Resources publications (DENR, 1998). Federal and State protected
species information was gathered from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) list of protected
species and species of concern, and the N.C. Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database of rare species
and unique habitats.
LandMark Design Group environmental scientists Ryan Smith and Corri Faquin conducted field
surveys along the proposed alignment on July 9, 2001. James Shern, Environmental Project Manager,
subsequently performed an additional site visit during the week of August 27, 2001 for quality
assurance purposes. Plant communities and their associated wildlife were identified and recorded.
Wildlife identification involved using one or more of the following observation techniques: active
search and capture, visual observations, and identification of characteristic signs of wildlife (sounds,
scat, tracks, and burrows). Jurisdictional wetland delineations were performed utilizing the criteria
prescribed in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987).

1.5 Definitions
Definitions for area descriptions used in this report are as follows: Project Area denotes the area
bounded by proposed construction limits; Project Vicinity describes an area within a 0.50 mi (0.81
km) radius of the project study area; and Project Region is equivalent to an area represented by a 7.5
minute USGS quadrangle map with the project occupying the central position.
i 2.0 PHYSICAL RESOURCES
Soil and water resources that occur in the project area are discussed below. Soils and availability of
water directly influence composition and distribution of flora and fauna in any biotic community.
The project area lies within the Coastal Plain Physiographic Province. The topography in this section
of Jones County is characterized as nearly level or gently sloping. Project elevation is approximately
6.00 ft (1.83 m) above mean sea level (msl).
2.1 Soils
Two soil phases occur within the project area: Autryville loamy fine sand and Muckalee loam. Soil
description information was obtained from the Soil Survey of Jones County, North Carolina (1981).

They are as follows:
North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP #: B-4169 February 2002
The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-311.00 Page 2

• AutMille loamy fine sand (non-hydric) with 0.00 to 4.00 percent slopes is a well drained soil
found close to drainage ways. Infiltration is moderately rapid, permeability is moderate to
moderately rapid, surface runoff is slow, and the available water capacity is low. Main
limitations for this soil type include caving of ditch banks and trench walls, and leaching.
• Muckalee loam (hydric) with 0.00 to 1.00 percent slopes is a frequently flooded, poorly drained
soil on flood plains along small streams. The permeability is moderate, the shrink-swell
potential is low, and the seasonal high water table occurs at a depth between 0.50 to 1.50 ft
(0.15 to 0.46 m). Flooding and wetness are the main limitations for this soil type.
i 2.2 Water Resources
This section contains information concerning those water resources within the project area. Water
resource information encompasses physical aspects of the resource, its relationship to major water
systems, Best Usage Standards, and water quality of the resources. Surface water resources and
minimization methods are also discussed.
2.2.1 Surface Water Characteristics
Big Chinquapin Branch is the only surface water resource within the project area. The section of the
Branch in the project area is located in sub-basin 03-04-11 of the Neuse River Basin. The average
baseflow width is approximately 38.00 ft (11.58 m). Average depth is approximately 2.50 ft (0.76 m).
The substrate of Big Chinquapin Branch is composed of loamy sand and flow was moderate upon site
inspection. Water clarity was fair.
2.2.2 Best Usage Classification
All streams have been assigned a best usage classification by the N.C. Division of Water Quality. The
classification of Big Chinquapin Branch in the project area is C Sw NSW (NCDWQ, 1998). Class C
refers to waters suitable for aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary
' recreation, and agriculture. The supplemental classification of Sw denotes waters that have low
velocities and characteristics different from most water bodies including a low pH, low dissolved
oxygen, and high organic content. The supplemental classification of NSW denotes Nutrient Sensitive
Waters that require additional nutrient management because they are subject to excessive growth of
microscopic and/or macroscopic vegetation.
Neither High Quality Waters (HQW), Water Supplies (WS-I: undeveloped watersheds or WS-II:
predominately undeveloped watersheds) nor Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) occur within
1.00 mi (1.61 km) of the project area.
2.2.3 Water Quality
The DWQ has initiated a basin-wide approach to water quality management for each of the 17 river
basins within the state. To accomplish this goal the DWQ collects biological, chemical, and physical
data that can be used in basinwide assessment and planning. All basins are reassessed every five years.
North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP #: B-4169 February 2002
The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-311.00 Page 3

Prior to the implementation of the basinwide approach to water quality management, the Benthic
Macroinvertebrate Ambient Network (BMAN) assessed water quality by sampling for benthic
macroinvertebrate organisms at fixed monitoring sites throughout the state. There is no BMAN
station located on Big Chinquapin Branch within 1.00 mi (1.61 km) of the project area.
Many benthic macroinvertebrates have life cycle stages that can last from six months to one year.
Therefore, the adverse effects of a toxic spill may not be overcome until the next generation. Different
taxa of macroinvertebrates have different tolerances to pollution, therefore, long-term changes in water
quality conditions can be identified by population shifts from pollution sensitive to pollution tolerant
organisms (and vice versa). Overall, the species present, the population diversity, and the biomass are
t reflections of long-term water quality conditions.
In North Carolina point source dischargers are permitted through the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Program. Permits are required for all point source discharges. There
are no point source discharges on Big Chinquapin Branch within 1.00 mi (1.61 km) upstream of
the project area.
2.2.4 Ecological Impacts
Replacing an existing structure in the same location with a road closure during construction is almost
always preferred. It poses the least risk to aquatic organisms and other natural resources. Bridge
' replacement at a new location usually results in greater impacts. Usually, project construction does not
disturb the entire right-of-way; therefore, actual impacts will be considerably less than reported in
Table 1.
Project construction may result in the following impacts to surface waters:
1 1. Increased sedimentation and siltation from demolition debris and/or erosion resulting from
vegetation removable and soil disturbance during construction,
2. Changes in light incidence and water clarity due to increased sedimentation and vegetation
removal,
3. Alteration of water levels and flows due to interruptions and/or additions to surface and ground
water flow from construction,
t 4. Changes in water temperature due to increased sun and wind exposure resulting from
streamside vegetation removal,
' 5. Increased nutrient loading from the stormwaer runoff of areas disturbed during construction,
and/or
I 6. Increased input of toxic compounds from demolition, construction, toxic spills, and highway
runoff.
North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP #: B-4169 February 2002
' The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-311.00 Page 4

Precautions must be taken to minimize impacts to water resources in the project area. The
I NCDOT's Best Management Practices (BMP) for the Protection of Surface Waters must be
strictly enforced during the construction stage of the project. Guidelines for these BMPs include,
but are not limited to minimizing built upon area and diverting stormwater away from surface
water supply waters as much as possible. Provisions to prevent water resource contamination by
toxic substances during the demolition and construction phases must also be strictly enforced.
3.0 BIOTIC RESOURCES
Biotic resources include aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. This section describes those ecosystems
' encountered in the project area, as well as, the relationships between flora and fauna within these
ecosystems. Composition and distribution of biotic communities throughout the project area are
reflective of topography, hydrologic influences, and past and present land uses in the project area.
Descriptions of the terrestrial systems are presented in the context of plant community classifications
and follow descriptions presented by Schafale and Weakley (1990) where possible. Dominant flora and
' fauna observed, or likely to occur, in each community are described and discussed.
Scientific nomenclature and common names (when applicable) are provided for each plant and animal
species described. Plant taxonomy generally follows Radford et al. (1968). Animal taxonomy follows
Martof et al. (1980), Potter et al. (1980), and Webster et al. (1985). Subsequent references to the same
organism will include the common name only. Fauna observed during the site visits are denoted with
an asterisk (*). Published range distributions and habitat analysis are used in estimating fauna expected
to be present within the project area.
1 3.1 Terrestrial Communities
Four distinct terrestrial communities are identified in the project area (Figure 2): Coastal Plain
' Bottomland Hardwoods, early successional, maintained road, and maintained/disturbed. Community
boundaries within the project area are well defined as shown in Figure 2. Faunal species likely to occur
within the project area will exploit all community types for shelter, foraging opportunities, and/or as
wildlife corridors.
3.1.1 Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods (Blackwater Subtype)
The Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods are present on both sides of State Road 1129 and both north
and south of Big Chinquapin Branch. The canopy is composed of sweet-gum (Liquidambar
styraciflua), hickory (Carya sp.), short-leaf pine (Pinus echinata), red maple (Acer rubrum), ash
(Fraxinus sp.), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), cypress (Taxodium sp.), and river birch (Betula
nigra). The sapling layer includes saplings of the canopy trees as well as ironwood (Carpinus
caroliniana). The shrub layer consists of box elder (Acer negundo), and elderberry (Sambucus
canadensis). The vine layer consists of trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), muscadine (Vitis
1 rotundifolia), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), and
greenbrier (Smilax bona-nox).
North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP #: B-4169 February 2002
' The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-311.00 Page 5

Avian species associated with this community type include: turkey vulture (Cathartes aura), wood
duck (Aix sponsa), mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), Swainson's warbler (Limnothlypis swainsonii),
American coot (Fulica americana), pied-billed grebe (Podilymbus podiceps), tufted titmouse
(Bacolophus bicolor), and turkey (Meleagris gallopavo).
Wildlife species associated with this community type include white-tailed deer (Odocoileus
virginianus), gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), marsh rabbit (Sylvilagus palustris), golden mouse
(Ochrotomys nuttali), bobcat (Felis rufus), southeastern shrew (Sorex longirostris), mink (Mustela
vison), and raccoon (Procyon lotor).
' 3.1.2 Early Successional
The early successional community is present on the east and west sides of State Road 1129. The early
successional community located on the west side of State Road 1129 is adjacent to the north bank of
Big Chinqapin Branch. The early successional community to the east of State Road 1129 follows
adjacent to the State Road in a north to south direction. The sapling layer is composed of hickory, red
maple, sweet-gum, and box elder. The herb layer contains false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), jewel-
weed (Impatiens capensis), lizard's tail (Saururus cernuus), pokeweed (Phytolacca americana), and
clover (Trifolium sp.). Vines within the early successional community include poison ivy
(Toxicodendron radicans), trumpet creeper, muscadine, and greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia). Faunal
species within this community include species occupying the Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods.
3.1.3 Maintained Road
The maintained road is located west of State Road 1129 and is adjacent to the south bank of Big
Chinquapin Branch. The maintained road is vegetated by grass (Festuca sp.) and is utilized as an
access road. Faunal species associated with the maintained road includes least shrew (Crypotis parva),
eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus), white footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus), and gray squirrel
(Sciurus carolinensis).
3.1.4 Maintained/Disturbed
The maintained/disturbed community exists along both sides of State Road 1129 for the entire length of
the project area. Species within the maintained/disturbed roadside include grass, ragweed, Japanese
honeysuckle, muscadine, poison ivy, red maple, hickory, pokeweed, blackberry (Rubus argutus), and
' trumpet creeper. Faunal species associated with the maintained/disturbed community includes those
species found in the maintained road community.
3.2 Aquatic Communities
One aquatic community, Big Chinquapin Branch is located within the project area. Physical
characteristics of a water body and the condition of the water resource influence faunal composition of
aquatic communities. Terrestrial communities adjacent to a water resource also greatly influence
aquatic communities. Vegetation within the aquatic community includes those species present in the
early successional community, the maintained road, and the Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods.

Fauna associated with these aquatic communities includes various invertebrate and vertebrate species.
Aquatic species likely to occur in the Big Chinquapin Branch include bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus),
water snake (Nerodia sp.), spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata), largemouth bass* (Micropterus salmoides)
southern leopard frog (Rana sphenocephala), and dwarf salamander (Eurycea quadridigitata).
Invertebrates that would be present include various species of caddisfly (Trichoptera), mayfly
(Ephemeroptera), crayfish (Decapoda), dragonfly (Odonata), and damselfly (Odonata).
3.3 Habitat Summary
Construction of the subject project will have various impacts on the biotic resources described. Any
construction related activities in or near these resources have the potential to impact biological
functions. Table 1 quantifies the habitat communities within the project area.

Plant communities found within the proposed project area serve as nesting and sheltering habitat for
various wildlife species. Replacing Bridge No. 7 and its associated improvements may reduce habitat
for some faunal species. However, due to the size and scope of this project, it is anticipated that
impacts to fauna will be minimal.
Areas modified by construction (but not paved) will become road shoulders and early succession
habitat. Reduced habitat may displace some wildlife further from the roadway while attracting other
wildlife by the creation of early successional habitat. Animals temporarily displaced by construction
activities may repopulate areas suitable for the species.
Aquatic communities are sensitive to even small changes in their environment. Stream channelization,
scouring, siltation, sedimentation, and erosion from project-related work may affect water quality and
biological constituents. Although direct impacts may be temporary, environmental impacts from these
construction processes may result in long term or irreversible effects.
Impacts often associated with in-stream construction include increased channelization and scouring of
the streambed. In-stream construction alters the stream substrate and may remove streamside
vegetation at the site. Disturbances to the substrate will produce siltation, which in excessive amounts
can clog the gills and/or feeding mechanisms of benthic organisms (sessile filter-feeders and deposit-

feeders), fish, and amphibian species. Benthic organisms may also be covered by excessive amounts of
sediment. Some of these organisms may be slow to recover or repopulate a stream.
The removal of streamside vegetation and placement of fill material at the construction site alters the
terrain. Alterations of the streambank enhance the likelihood of erosion and sedimentation.
Revegetation stabilizes the soil thus mitigating these processes. Erosion and sedimentation carry soils,
toxic compounds, and other materials into aquatic communities at the construction site. These
processes increase turbidity and can cause the formation of sandbars at the site and downstream,
thereby altering water flow and the growth of vegetation. Streamside clearing also leads to more direct
sunlight penetration causing elevations in water temperatures, which may impact some species. Based
on the potential for increased sedimentation, it is recommended that silt curtains be used during
construction.
4.0 JURISDICTIONAL TOPICS
This section provides descriptions, inventories, and impact analysis pertinent to two important issues:
"Waters of the United States" and rare and protected species.
4.1 Waters of the United States
Surface waters and jurisdictional wetlands fall under the broad category of "Waters of the United
States," as defined in Section 33 of the Code- of Federal Register (CFR) Part 328.3. Wetlands, defined
in 33 CFR 328.3, are those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a
frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence
of vegetation typically adapted to life in saturated conditions. Any action that proposes to place fill into
these areas falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) under Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344)..
4.1.1 Wetlands and Surface Waters
Potential wetland communities were investigated pursuant to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual. The three-parameter approach was used. Hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation,
and certain specific hydrologic characteristics must all be present for an area to be considered a
wetland. Wetlands are present within the Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods and the early
successional communities. The total area of wetlands within the project area is 0.24 ac (0.10 ha).
Big Chinquapin Branch is a jurisdictional surface water under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33
USC 1344). Big Chinquapin Branch covers 0.20 ac (0.08 ha) and 281.00 if (85.65 lm) of the project
area. Discussion of the biological, physical, and water quality aspects of all surface waters in the
project area are presented in previous sections of this report.
4.1.2 Permits
Nationwide Permit 23 (33 CFR 330.5(a) (23)) is likely to be applicable for all impacts to "Waters of the
' United States" resulting from the proposed project. This permit authorizes activities undertaken,
North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP #: B-4169 February 2002
I The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-311.00 Page 8

assisted, authorized, regulated, funded, or financed in whole or part by another federal agency or
department where that agency or department has determined that pursuant to the Council on
Environmental Quality regulation for implementing the procedural provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act:
• the activity, work, or discharge is categorically excluded from environmental documentation
because it is included within a category of actions which neither individually nor cumulatively have
a significant effect on the human environment, and
• the office of the Chief of Engineers has been furnished notice of the agency's or department's
application for the categorical exclusion and concurs with that determination.
A Nationwide Permit 33 may be required if the construction plans require a temporary structure that is
' not covered in the NEPA document.
This project will also require a 401 Water Quality Certification from the DWQ prior to the issuance of
the Nationwide Permit. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act requires that the state issue or deny a water
quality certification for any federally permitted or licensed activity that may result in a discharge to
"Waters of the United States." Section 401 Certification allows surface waters to be temporarily
impacted for the duration of the construction or other land manipulation. The issuance of a 401
certification from the DWQ is a prerequisite to issuance of a Section 404 permit.
Projects located within the Neuse River Basin are subject to the Neuse River Buffer Rules,
administered by the DWQ. These rules address loss of stream channel buffers for field verified streams
appearing on the USGS Topographic Quad and/or the NRCS Soil Survey. Bridge construction is
' allowable provided that there are "no practical alternatives." Written authorization is required from the
DWQ. A request to the DWQ for the authorization should be included in the cover letter of the permit
application package.
4.1.3 Bridge Demolition
' Bridge demolition information will be provided in the NEPA Document.
4.1.4 Mitigation
The COE has adopted, through the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), a wetland mitigation
' policy that embraces the concept of "no net loss of wetlands" and sequencing. The purpose of this
policy is to restore and maintain the chemical, biological, and physical integrity of "Waters of the
United States," specifically wetlands. Mitigation of wetland impacts has been defined by the CEQ to
include avoiding impacts (to wetlands), minimizing impacts, rectifying impacts, reducing impacts over
time, and compensating for impacts (40 CFR 1508.20). Each of these three aspects (avoidance,
minimization, and compensatory mitigation) must be considered sequentially.
North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP #: B-4169 February 2002
The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-311.00 Page 9

L

4.1.4.1 Avoidance
Avoidance mitigation examines all appropriate and practicable possibilities of averting impacts to
"Waters of the United States." According to a 1990 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the COE, in determining "appropriate and practicable"
measures to offset unavoidable impacts, such measures should be appropriate to the scope and degree
of those impacts and practicable in terms of cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of overall
project purposes.
4.1.4.2 Minimization
Minimization includes the examination of appropriate and practicable steps to reduce the adverse
impacts to "Waters of the United States." Implementation of these steps will be required through
project modifications and permit conditions. Minimization typically focuses on decreasing the
footprint of the proposed project through the reduction of median widths, right-of-way widths, fill
slopes, and/or road shoulder widths. Other practical mechanisms to minimize impacts to "Waters of
the United States" crossed by the proposed project include: strict enforcement of sedimentation control
BMP's for the protection of surface waters during the entire life of the project; reduction of clearing and
grubbing activity; reduction/elimination of direct discharge into streams; reduction of runoff velocity;
re-establishment of vegetation on exposed areas; judicious pesticide and herbicide usage; minimization
of "in-stream" activity; and litter/debris control.
4.1.4.3 Compensatory Mitigation
Compensatory mitigation is not normally considered until anticipated impacts to "Waters of the United
States" have been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable. It is recognized that "no
net loss of wetlands" functions and values may not be achieved in each and every permit action.
Appropriate and practicable compensatory mitigation may be required for unavoidable adverse impacts
that remain after all appropriate and practicable minimization has been performed. Compensatory
actions often include restoration, creation, and enhancement of "Waters of the United States." Such
actions should be undertaken in areas adjacent to or contiguous to the discharge site whenever
practicable. Compensatory mitigation is not usually necessary with a Nationwide Permit No. 23,
however final mitigation requirements rest with the COE. Impact thresholds for mitigation are as
follows:
• 0.10 to 1.00 ac (0.04 to 0.40 ha) of wetland impacts may require mitigation;
• 1.00 ac (0.40 ha) or more of wetland impacts will require mitigation;
• 150.00 If (45.72 lm) or more of stream impacts will require mitigation.
4.2 Rare and Protected Species

1
Some populations of flora and fauna have been in, or are in, the process of decline either due to natural
forces or their inability to coexist with human activities. Federal law (under the provisions of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended) requires that any action, likely to adversely affect a
North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP #: B-4169 February 2002
The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-311.00 Page 10

species classified as federally protected, be subject to review by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(FWS). Other species may receive additional protection under separate state laws.
4.2.1 Federally-Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Proposed
Endangered (PE), and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected under the provisions of Section 7 and
Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of June 12, 2001, the FWS lists two
federally-protected species for Jones County (Table 2). A brief description of the characteristics and
habitat requirements for these species along with a conclusion regarding potential project impacts
' follows.
1 Table 2. Federally-protected species of Jones County.
Scientific Name Common '.Name _Federal Status
Alligator mississippiensis American alligator Threatened (S/A)
Picoides borealis Red-cockaded woodpecker Endangered
Endangered - A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range."
Threatened (S/A) - Threatened due to similarity of appearance-a species that is threatened due to similarity of appearance
with other rare species and is listed for its protection. These species are not biologically endangered or
threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation.
Alligator mississippiensis (American alligator) Threatened (S/A)
Animal Order: Lorcata
Date listed: May 2, 1997
Alligator mississippiensis range from 6.00 to 19.00 ft (1.83 to 5.79 m) in length. This reptile has a
broad snout, short neck, and a heavy body with a laterally compressed tail. Adults are black to dark
gray and faint yellow crossbands are sometimes evident. The young are black with conspicuous yellow
crossbands. This species is similar to the spectacled caiman although it has a small, curved ridge in
' front of the eyes.
The American alligator inhabits fresh water swamps, marshes, abandoned rice fields, ponds, lakes, and
backwaters of large rivers. Although its range once extended north to the Dismal Swamp, the
American alligator is now absent north of the Albemarle Sound and in much of the upper coastal plain.
' In June, the female builds a large mound of leaves, mud, and debris about 23.62 in (60.00 cm) high and
47.24 to 78.74 in (120.00 to 200.00 cm) wide usually located in a shaded area a few meters from the
water. She deposits about 30 eggs in a cavity on top of the mound, remains nearby, and challenges all
' intruders. Hatchlings emerge in late summer to early fall.
No biological conclusion is necessary for the American alligator.
North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP #: B-4169 February 2002
The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-311.00 Page I I

Picoides borealis (red-cockaded woodpecker) Endangered
Animal Family: Picidae
Date Listed: October 13, 1970
' The red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) once occurred from New Jersey to southern Florida and west to
eastern Texas. It occurred inland in Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. The
RCW is now found only in coastal states of its historic range and inland in southeastern Oklahoma and
' southern Arkansas. In North Carolina moderate populations occur in the sandhills and southern coastal
plain. The few populations found in the Piedmont and northern coastal plain are believed to be relics of
former populations.
' The adult RCW has black and white plumage and male RCWs have small red streaks on the sides of
the nape. The RCW is identifiable by horizontal stripes of black and white on it's back, white with
streaked flanks on it's breast and underside, and a large white cheek patch.
' The RCW uses open old growth stands of southern pines, particularly longleaf pine (Pinus palustris),
for foraging and nesting habitat. RCWs require forested stands that contain at least 50.00 percent pine,
lack a thick understory, and are contiguous with other pine stands. These birds nest exclusively in trees
' greater than 60 years old that are contiguous with pine stands at least 30 years of age. The foraging
range of the RCW is up to 500.00 ac (202.34 ha) and must be contiguous with suitable nesting sites.
' RCWs nest exclusively in living pine trees, generally those trees infected with red-heart disease.
Cavities are located in colonies from 12.00 to 100.00 ft (3.66 to 30.48 m) above the ground and average
30.00 to 50.00 ft (9.14 to 15.24 m) high. They can be identified by a large incrustation of running sap
surrounding the tree. The incrustation of sap is believed to be a defense mechanism of the RCW
against possible predators. A colony of woodpeckers usually consists of one breeding pair and the
offspring from previous years. The RCW lays its eggs (three to five) in April, May, and June and the
eggs hatch approximately 38 days later. All members of the colony share the raising of the young.
Red-cockaded woodpeckers feed mainly on insects but may feed on seasonal wild fruits.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
The mature, open pine stands required by the RCW are not present in the project area. The North
Carolina Natural Heritage Program database was reviewed on June 12, 2001 and revealed no records of
existing populations of RCW within 1.00 mi (1.61 km) of the project area. No habitat for RCW exists
in the project area, thus, no impacts to the RCW will result from project construction.
4.2.2 Federal Species of Concern and State Listed Species
' Federal Species of Concern are not afforded federal protection under the Endangered Species Act and
are not subject to any of its provisions, including Section 7, until they are formally listed or proposed as
' Threatened or Endangered. However, the status of these species is subject to change, and therefore
should be included for consideration. Federal Species of Concern (FSC) are defined as a species that is
under consideration for listing but for which there is insufficient information to support listing. In
addition, organisms, which are listed as Endangered (E), Threatened (T), or Special Concern (SC) by

the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program list of Rare Plant and Animal Species, are afforded state
protection under the N.C. State Endangered Species Act and the N.C. Plant Protection and
Conservation Act of 1979.
There are eleven Federal Species of Concern listed by the FWS for Jones County. A survey for these
species was not conducted during the site visit, nor were any of these species observed. A review of the
NCNHP database of rare species and unique habitats on June 12, 2001 revealed no federal species of
concern within 1.00 mi (1.61 km) of the project area.

The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated received March 7, 2006 for the purpose of
replacing Bridge 7 over Chinquapin Branch on SR 1129 (Free Bridge Rd) in Lenoir County. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3494. This
certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 3 issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the
Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits
before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water
Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying 404 permit issued by the US Army Corps of
Engineers (this supercedes Condition 13 of General Certification 3494 issued on December 31, 2004).
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should your
project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given
a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or total impacts to streams or buffers (now or in the
future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as 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 40I/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality upon completion of
the project.
2.) 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.
3.) Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.

4.) All work shall be performed during low, or normal flow conditions.
5.) 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.
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.) 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.
8.) All stormwater runoff shall be directed to sheetflow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless approved
otherwise by this certification.
9.) 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.
10.) 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.
11.) Any riprap used must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions.
12.) Pursuant to NCACI5A 2B .0233 (6), sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any Neuse
River 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 impacts, 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.
13.) Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper
design, installation, operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained
in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and
Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be such
that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment
and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste
pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
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.
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 fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1.

18.) 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.
19.) The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures will need to return the project site to its
preconstruction contours and elevations. The revegetation of the impacted areas with appropriate native species is
required.
20.) If the old bridge is removed, no discharge of bridge material into surface waters is preferred. Strict adherence to the
Corps of Engineers guidelines for bridge demolition will be a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
21.) 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.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within
60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition that conforms to Chapter 150B of
the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447.
This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have any
questions, please contact Garcy Ward at [phone].

6. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
7. Access roads constructed for any of these permits shall be constructed so as to
minimize wetland fill as much as is practicable and shall be restored to grade
immediately after the project is completed. The site shall be re-vegetated with native
species which shall be in place within three months following construction or before
initiation of the next growing season;
8. In accordance with North Carolina General Statute Section 143-215.3D(e), any request
for written concurrence for a 401 Water Quality Certification must include the appropriate
fee. If a project also requires a CAMA Permit, one payment to both agencies shall be
submitted and will be the higher of the two fees;
9. Impacts to any stream length in the Neuse,'Tar-Pamlico, Randleman and Catawba River
Basins (or any other river basins with Riparian Area Protection Rules [Buffer Rules] in
effect at the time of application) requires written concurrence from DWQ in accordance
with 15A NCAC 213.0200. Activities listed as "exempt" from these rules do not need to
apply for written concurrence under this Certification. New development activities located
in the protected 50-foot wide riparian areas (whether jurisdictional wetlands or not) within
the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico River Basins shall be limited to "uses" identified within and
constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0200. All pew development shall be
located, designed, constructed, and maintained to have minimal disturbance to protect
water quality to the maximum extent practicable through the use of best management
practices;
10. Placement of culverts and other structures. in waters, streams and wetlands must be
placed below the elevation of the streambed to allow low flow passage of water and
aquatic life unless it can be shown to DWQ that providing passage would be impractical.
Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control
measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of
wetlands or stream beds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above
structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be
maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. Additionally, when roadways, causeways or
other fill projects are constructed across FEMA-designated floodways or wetlands,
openings such as culverts or bridges must be provided to maintain the natural hydrology
of the system as well as prevent constriction of the floodway that may result in
destabilization of streams or wetlands. If more than 150 linear feet of additional stream is
filled, culverted, rip-rapped, relocated, excavated or dredged as a result of this permit,
then an application to DWQ is needed and compensatory mitigation may be required;
11. Additional site-specific conditions may be added to projects for which written concurrence
is required or requested under this Certification in order to ensure compliance with all
applicable water quality and effluent standards;
12. Applications for riprap groins proposed in accordance with 15A NCAC 67H .1401 (NC

of Violation from the Division of Land Resources and/or the Division of Water Quality are
required to submit a complete application and receive written concurrence to use this
Certification regardless of the proposed impact amount to streams, wetlands, and waters.
15. When written concurrence is required, the applicant is required to use the most recent
version of the Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in the
401 Certification has been completed;
16. Standard Erosion and Sediment Control Practices:
Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all
specifications governing the proper design, installation and operation and
maintenance of such Best Management Practices:
a. Erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North
Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. Design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control
measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the
most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual.
The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste
pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with
the project.

Project Description
Replace existing 80.9' long by 19.3' (clear roadway) wide concrete deck bridge with timber joists, timber
caps, timber piles, and timber crutch bents with a 21" concrete cored slab bridge that is proposed to be
117'-3" long by 27' (clear roadway) wide and supported by reinforced concrete on steel piles. Age of the
bridge and safety inspection reports dictate the need for replacement of this bridge. There will be no
impacts to jurisdictional waters and wetlands during bridge construction and guardrail installation. The
longer bridge will result in approximately 1065 square feet of excavated roadway fill beneath the new
structure. This project does involve Section 10 (Rivers and Harbors Act) navigable waters. This project
does not require the completion of a formal PCN but notification to the Corps is being provided to be
included in their database. This conveyance is shown on the Phillips Crossroads USGS Quad Map and
Sheet Number 4 of the Soil Survey of Jones County. The channel is 45 feet wide from bank top to bank
top and drains a woodland/agricultural area. No federally protected species or historic resources are
immediately adjacent to this location.
In order to ensure compliance with best management practices, all attached General and Regional
Conditions associated with Nationwide Permit 3 and Water Quality Certification #3494 must be followed.
Keep demolition and construction debris out of the stream. Riprap will not be placed below the
plane of ordinary high water for stabilization. Excavation should be confined to the right of way,
and limited to the minimum amount required to excavate in high ground for the construction of the
new bridge. All excavated material should be removed from the site, placed on existing spoil piles, or
disposed of in farm fields.
All Erosion and Sedimentation measures and Maintenance Best Management Practices should be
implemented. I am forwarding a copy to Mr. Andy Blankenship in Roadside Environmental for his perusal
in E&S inspections. The project supervisor should always have this permit package, including the attached
General and Regional Conditions associated with the Nationwide Permit 3 and Water Quality Certification
#3494 on site during the bridge replacement. The project supervisor should notify me immediately if any
questions or concerns should arise before and during construction.
