Subject: Application for Section 404 General Permit 31, Section 401 Water Quality
Certification, and CAMA Major Development Permit for the replacement of,
Bridge #3 over Tulls Creek on SR 1232 in Currituck County. State Project No.
8.2040501. Federal Aid Project Number BRZ-1232(4). Debit $400 from WBS
33730.1.1.TIP No. B-4494.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), Division of Highways, in
consultation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), proposes to replace Bridge
No. 3 in Currituck County. The proposed let date for the project is January 17, 2012;
however, the let date may advance as additional funds become available.
Please find enclosed a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) form, permit.drawings, utility
drawings/narrative, roadway plans, North Carolina Division of Coastal Management Major
Permit Forms 1, 2, and 5, stormwater management plan, EEP Mitigation Acceptance Letter,
and adjacent riparian landowner certified mail receipts. A Categorical Exclusion (CE) was
completed for this project on November 15, 2007, and distributed shortly thereafter.
Additional copies are available upon request. .
Regulatory Approvals
CAMA: NCDOT requests that the proposed work be authorized under a Coastal Area
Management Act Major Development Permit. Adjacent riparian landowner return receipts

DIYW OF HCHWAYS
PDR-OKE OF NATURAL ENVY
This letter is in response to your letter of September 26, 2007 which provided the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service) with the biological determination of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) that the replacement of Bridge No. 3 on SR 1232 (Poyner Road) over
Tulls Creek in Currituck County (TIP No. B-4494) may affect, but is not likely to adversely
affect the federally endangered West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus). In addition,
NCDOT has determined that the project will have no effect on all other listed species. These
comments are provided in accordance with section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of
1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).
NCDOT has agreed to implement the Service's GUIDELINES FOR AVOIDING IMPACTS
TO THE WEST INDIAN MANATEE: Precautionary Measures for Construction
Activities in North Carolina Waters. Based on this commitment and on available information,
the Service concurs with your determination that the proposed bridge replacement may affect,
but is not likely to adversely affect the West Indian manatee. Also, we concur that the project
will have no effect on all other listed species. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2)
of the ESA have been satisfied. We remind you that obligations under section 7 consultation
muss be recons,.,o.eu .?. (1) new .mon:,atiou reveals impacts oft'nis identified action that may
affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered in this review; (2)
this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or (3) a
new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by this identified action.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to review this project.. If you have any questions
regarding our response; please contact Mr. Gary Jordan at (919) 856-4520 (Ext. 32).

Dear Dr. Thorpe:
Subject: EEP Mitigation Acceptance Letter:
B-4494, Replace Bridge Number 3 on SR 1232 over Tulls Creek Currituck County
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) will provide the
compensatory coastal marsh mitigation for the subject project. Based on the information supplied by you on May
11, 2011, the impacts are located in CU 03010205 of the Pasquotank River Basin in the Northern Outer Coastal
Plain (NOCP) Eco-Region, and are as follows:
Pasquotank Stream Wetlands Buffer (Sq. Ft.)
03010205 Cold Cool Warm Riparian Non- Coastal
Zone 1
Zone 2
NOCP Riparian Marsh
Impacts 0 0 0 0 0 0.06 0 0
feettacres
Mitigation Units 0 0 0 0 0 0.12 0 0
(Credits-up to 2:1)
This mitigation acceptance letter replaces the mitigation acceptance letter issued on May 3, 2011.
EEP commits to implementing sufficient compensatory riparian wetland mitigation credits to offset the impacts
associated with this project in accordance with the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources'
Ecosystem Enhancement Program In-Lieu Fee Instrument dated July 28, 2010. If the above referenced impact
amounts are revised, then this mitigation acceptance letter will no longer be valid and a new mitigation acceptance
letter will be required from EEP.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ms. Beth Harmon at 919-715-
