The North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting a NW 3 permit for a bridge replacement in Martin County. Bridge # 5 is located tm SR 1417 approximately 4 miles northwest of Williamston. It spans C:onoho Greek that flows to the Roanoke River approximately 0.8 mules downstream. Conoho Creels is classified by the DWQ as class '17' waters. This creek. is also listed as anadramous fish spawning waters by the WRC.'1'he proposed bridge will measure 210' long X 30 wide', which is 48 teet longer and 6 Feet wider than the existing 172' X 24' bridge. As a result of lengthening the bridge, approximately 640 square feet (0.015 acres) of existing wetland fill will be removed and grade restored to wetland elevation. The wetland restoration will off set unavoidable wetland impacts of 0,045 acres that arc occurring due to bridge approach widening. This will leave a balance of 0.030 acres that will be mitigated through the EEP. The PCN, vicinity maps, and permit drawings are included with this letter.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide 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. Impacts to wetlands have been avoided and minimized by routing traffic during construction t_o_an off site detour. Impacts have been minimized by rerlucma the onaynal footonnt of the slope protection around the abutments Unavoidable impacts are a result of appmaoh widmia that will allow safe transition from the roadwa to the brid structure. VUL Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with l SA NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losm of agti4tic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. It 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-/lh2o enr state nc.uslncwetlamtls/strm ide.html. 1.

This creek is also listed as anadramous fish spawning waters by the WRC. The proposed bridge will measure 210' long X 30 wide', which is 48 feet longer and 6 feet wider than the existing 172' X 24' bridge. As a result of lengthening the bridge, approximately 640 square feet (0.015 acres) of existing wetland fill will be removed and grade restored to wetland elevation. The wetland restoration will off set unavoidable wetland impacts of 0.045 acres that are occurring due to bridge approach widening. This will leave a balance of 0.030 acres that will be mitigated through the EEP. The PCN, vicinity maps, and permit drawings are included with this letter.

Pond Creation N/A If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A Page 6 of 12 Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide 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. Impacts to wetlands have been avoided and minimized by outing traffic during construction to an off-site detour. Impacts have been minimized by reducing the original footprint of the slope protection around the abutments. Unavoidable impacts are a result of approach widening that will allow safe transition from the roadway to the bridge structure. VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application 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:/..,%2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/simigide.hti,nl. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much infomation as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) Page 7of12 of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. The project is impacting 0.045 acres of riverine wetland due to road approach widening. The new bridge will be 210 ft. in length, which is replacing an existing 172 ft. bridge. The additional length will allow the restoration of 0.015 acres of riverine wetland by removing existing causeway fill. The fill will be removed and the elevation graded to the surrounding wetland elevation. This will leave a balance of 0.030 acres of impacted wetland that will be mitigated through the EEP program. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http:/./h2o.enr.state.ne.us/wM/index.htm. If use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A IX.
