Dear Mr McMillan
�, � - b� S �
The Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division, of the Federal Highway Admmistration (FHWA)
is in receipt of your letter dated October 25 2411 Your letter mdicated that the permrt
application was deficient m several areas Responses to the rtems hsted as deficient are listed
below
The apphcation was revised to remove indication that the stream would be temporarily
impacted through sedimentation Sediment loss will be avoided through the
implementation of the erosion and sediment control plan found on pages MO1 through
MOS m the enclosed pro�ect plan set The erosion and sediment control plan has been
reviewed and approved by the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources,
Drvision of Land Resources
• The application has been modified to reflect the temporary impacts associated with
dewatering the m water work area As shown on sheet M04 and Detail A on that sheet a
sheet pilmg cofferdam will be mstalled in order to divert the flow of Reeves Sprmg
Branch The diverted water would be pumped and discharged through a filter bag
• The culvert was designed specifically for the channel using the methodology prescnbed
m Highway Engineenng Circular Number 26, FHWA's Culvert Design for Aquatic
Organism Passage (AOP) Manual and Hydrologic Engmeenng Centers River Analysis
System (HEC RAS) Version 4 1 The HEC methodology compares applied shear stress
on the bed gradation dunng high flow and peak flow conditions to the permissible shear
stress The channel bed gradation is then designed usmg an rterative process, by
mcreasmg the embedment depth and by changmg gradation so as to withstand flow
conditions The thickness of the layers is also ad�usted so that a stable bed can be
2
designed The gradation consists of two layers a top layer that is one foot in depth and
a sublayer that is three feet in depth Therefore designing for AOP resulted in the box
size bemg mcreased to a 14 foot span by a 12 foot rise wrth an embedded depth of four
feet Enclosed you will find the Hydraulics Report, Culvert Survey & Hydraulic Design
Report that was sent to the North Carolina Department of Transportation and AOP
Culvert Design Form
After further review it was found that the riprap proposed at the end of the culvert at
station 188+00 will be placed below the ordinary high water mark The application was
revised to reflect that impact to Reeves Spring Branch
• No riprap will be placed at the end of the 14 foot by 12 foot box culvert The application
was revised accordingly
• Only preliminary design is available for the second phase of the pro�ect Enclosed you
will find the 30 percent design plans for the second phase of the pro�ect The locations
and pro�ected impacts for this phase of the pro�ect were mcluded in the application
The FHWA respectfully requests certification of the proposed improvements In order to assist
wrth your review of this pro�ect enclosed you will find five copies of the following materials a
revised Pre Construction Notification Application Form the revised pro�ect plans for both
phases of the pro�ects (NC PFH 49 1(3) and NC PFH 049 1(004)), the Hydraulics Report
Culvert Survey & Hydraulic Design Report that was sent to the North Carolma Department of
Transportation, and AOP Culvert Design Form The favor of your response wrthm 30 days of
the receipt of the revised permrt application is appreciated Copies of the revised permrt
application and supportmg documentation will also be submitted to the Wilmington Field Office
of the U S Army Corps of Engmeers If you have any questions concerning this matter please

The roadway alignment was modified in order to eliminate impacts to 0 04 acres of wetlands at Station 16+00 to 26+85 The new box culvert that will
replace the existmg vented ford was designed specifically for the channel in order to provide aquatic organism passage The placement of riprap was
minimized to the extent possible An erosion and sediment control plan was designed to avoid sediment loss dunng construction
1 b Specifically descnbe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be stnctiy enforced to control sedimentation and erosion dunng construction staging wdl take place in parking
lots or other disturbed areas cleanng and grubbing wdl be minimized diverted water will not be discharged directly into the stream m stream activity
wdl only occur within the dewatered area vegetation on exposed areas particularly streamsides will be quickly reestablished and materials brought
into the Forest wdl be free of exotic species

PROJECT INTRODUCTION
The pro�ect was initially identified at the Foiest Highway Prograin Meetiilg held in February
2000 and it was agreed at that time that the North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) would design and construct the proposed improvements In the forest highway
Program Meeting held in August 2003 the NCDOT requested that Eastern Federal Lands
Highway Division (EFLHD) undertake the design and construction of a portion of the sub�ect
pro�ect, which includes the replacement of a vented ford on Forest Development Road (FDR)
597 at Reeves Spring Branch The pro�ect also includes reconstruchon of FDR from State route
1179 to FDR 544 (McLean s Creek Road) The Unrted States Farest Service (USFS) and the
NCDOT have an agreement to add Forest Highway (FH) 494,to,the NCDOT system FH 49
t
compnses all or part of the following roads FDR 576 (Moccasin Creek Road), FDR 533
(McLean s Creek Road) FDR 554 (Marks Road) and FDR 597 (Badin Lake Road) The entire
route will be assigned a North Carolina Secondary Road number Thistroad will be classified as
a Local Rural Road and must therefore be upgraded to meet NCDOT staridards

OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
As mentioned in the pro�ect mtroduction earlier USFS had agreed to include FH 49 into the
NCDOT system and for that to happen, the roads had to be upgraded to NCDOT standards FDR
597 (Badin Lake Road) is a part of FH 49 and is currently not up to the standards of NCDOT
The crossing at Reeves Spnng Branch is a vented Low Water Crossing (LWC) with 3 30
Corrugated Metal Pipes (CMP) NCDOT standards require the secondary roads to be designed
to convey the 25 year storm event Also the USFS had requested�;to design the crossing for AOP
r�'�P���s�y�
as per FHWA's HEC 26 standards Therefore the scope of�the pro�ect included designing of a
�N ��{1 }
structure to convey the 25 year peak flow as well as for�AOP`' �� �'� �

PROJECT SUMMARY
Several options were analyzed prioi to deciding on the final recoinmendation The imtial scope
of the pro�ect included replacing the existing vented ford with a single span bridge at an
aligmnent approximately 40 feet upstream of the existing road NCDOT however were not in
favor of maintaimng a bridge especially when they felt that a box culvert should suffice for the
crossing Several other alternatives were then analyzed including multiple cell box culverts and
a conspan at this proposed alignment, but according to Hydraulics and Geotechnical
recommendations, not of the above stated alternatives were valid given the stream geometry and
�
the depth to rock Suggestions were then made to revert back to the original alignment wrth a
temporary stream crossing dunng construction This suggestion was acceptable as it reduced the
scope of the work from a bndge to a box culvert However, the Forest Service requested that the
structure be designed for AOP based on HEC 26 methodology Therefore, the proposed box
culvert was designed to satisfy all the partners involved +

Step 2 Pro�ect Reach and Representative Channel Characteristics
1 If one or both gradations are entered they will be plotted in the Quantile Gradation Plot If not and pebble
counts are provided the pebble counts will be plotted
2 A maximum of two pebble counts may be entered in the PebbleCount tab Each pebble count may have no
more than 122 observations
3 Valid cohesive soil types are GM GC SM SC ML CL MH CH PI must be greater than or equal to 10 is
generally less than 40 Void ratio ranges between 0 and 1 See HEC 26 Appendix D 2 for more information
Step 5 Estimate Manning s n and Normal Depth
1 Bed material is considered to be sand when Dso < 2 mm
2 Limerinos is recommended as the default method for determining Manrnng s n
3 Limerinos Jarrett Blodgett Mussetter and User are the choices for noncohesive materials Correct
spelling is required
Step 6 Culvert Bed Stability at QH
1 Critical discharge is applicable where So > 0 03 and R/D50 < 10
2 Modified permissible shear is applicable when So < 0 05
3 Stability in the normal depth column is only applicable for a steep culvert with high tailwater
Step 7 Bed mobility acceptable at QH�
1 Cross section names must be entered in this step and will automatically appear in Steps 10 and 11
2 If a warning that at least one culvert mobility measure is less than all comparable channel values appears
the culvert may be vulnerable to deposition at QH The designer may wish to consider forming a more defined
channel in the culvert
Step 8 Cuivert Bed Stability at QP
1 Stability in the normal depth column is only applicable for a steep culvert with high tailwater
Step 9 Design Stable Bed
1 Stability in the normal depth column is only applicable for a steep culvert with high tailwater
2 Limennos is recommended as the default method for determining Manning s n
3 Default oversize gradation is provided based on the user supplied D95 D84 and D50 are calculated from
Equation 7 15 D16 is calculated from Equation F 3c (m=0 5) D5 is set at 2 mm as the minimum
recommended User should ad�ust gradation as needed
4 If any changes to inputs for Step 5 are made as part of Step 9 update depths in Steps 6 and 8 before
proceeding to Step 10
Step 10 Check Culvert Velocity at QH
1 Cross section names must be entered in Step 7
Step 11 Check Depth at Q�
1 Cross section names must be entered in Step 7

Guidance for shapes other than circular or rectangular
Other shapes (p�pe arch ell�ptical (horrzontal and vertical) metal box) may be evaluated us�ng th�s
spreadsheet with the followmg guidance
1 Select a trial shape and size
2 For Step 5(align and size culvert) enter the rise and span as if it was a rectangular shape
3 Enter the appropriate Manning s n value for the tnal culvert material
4 Enter an embedment that provides at least 30% embedment for the elliptical shapes not the 20% requirsd
for rectangular All other shapes can use the 20% embedment criteria
5 For the HY 8 or HEC RAS analyses use the trial shape and size not the rectangular equivalent
6 Use the HY 8 or HEC RAS analyses for the depth inputs for Steps 6 8 9 and 11
Note(1) If the HY 8 or HEC RAS analyses show that (a) the water surface profile is steep with a tailwater
control at the outlet (i e a hydraulic �ump may occur within the culvert) and (b) normal depth calculated by
these programs differs from the approximation in this spreadsheet for the equivalent circular or rectangular
shape enter the inlet depth and the normal depth (rather than the outlet depth)
Note(2) A Manning s n tab is available for computing n values as a function of depth to enter into HY 8 and
HEC RAS
7 For an elliptical pipe the oversize layer in Step 9 should be a minimum of 1 5 D95 in thickness
8 Complete all other evaluations as with circular or rectangular shapes
