Background
On January 19 2010 the NCDOT /FHWA completed and circulated for public review an
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed replacement of bridge numbers 12 18 and
42 TIP B 4028 project State Project Number 8 1421401 The EA explains the purpose and
need and describes the alternatives considered and the social economic and environmental
effects of the proposed project A Finding of No Significant Impact ( FONSI) was completed
on September 23 2010 The proposed build alternative involves the replacement of the
bridges along a new alignment located west of the existing roadway and bridges to minimize
impacts to the human and natural environments The proposed project is federally funded and
included in NCDOT s latest approved Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
Construction phasing of this project will begin with utility relocations then bridge and
causeway replacement The current let date is August 21 2010 however the let date may
advance as additional funds become available The estimated cost of the project is
$13 430 000
The NCDOT /FHWA EA and FONSI for B 4028 is available for review at the Wilmington
Regulatory Field Office of the Wilmington District U S Army Corps of Engineers 69
Darlington Avenue Wilmington North Carolina or at the North Carolina Department of
Transportation Project Development and Environmental Analysis Branch Century Center
Building 1020 Birch Ridge Drive Raleigh North Carolina
Applicant's Stated Purpose
The applicant s stated purpose for this project is to improve safety due to bridge numbers 12
18 and 42 having fifty seven year old superstructures and substructure components which have
experienced an increased degree of deterioration that can no longer be addressed by
maintenance activities
Existing Site Conditions
The project is located within the Mid Atlantic Coastal Plain eco region of the Coastal Plain
Physiographic Province in the Cape Fear River sub basin USGS 8 digit hydrological unit
03030005 The project is located along the Cape Fear River and its associated floodplam The
majority of the project area is mostly flat with low terraces located throughout At this location
the Cape Fear River is a navigable water of the United States and carries the NC Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ) best usage classification of WS IV which refers to those waters
protected as water supplies that are generally in moderately to highly developed watersheds
There are no designated Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) High Quality Waters (HQW)
Water Supply I (WS 1) Water Supply (WS II) or 303 (d) listed waters within 1 0 mile of the
project area
The majority of the wetlands within the project area can be classified as riverme swamp
wetlands The wetland areas are both forested and herbaceous Most herbaceous wetlands
systems are along the west side of NC Highway l lwithin a maintained overhead utility line

corridor There are several open water borrow pits located within the wetland areas and
throughout the project area
The Biotic resources surrounding project area is indicative of a rural setting consisting mainly
of mixed pine /hardwood forests swamp forests and disturbed roadside areas Topography is
characterized as flat with gently rolling low terraces with elevations ranging from
approximately 10 to 40 feet above mean sea level (MSL) The bluff located along the southern
bank of the Cape Fear River is high and steep within little to no floodplam
Project Description
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant The
proposed project would construct new bridges on new location to the west of the existing
roadway The replacement structures for bridges numbers 12 18 and 42 will consist of bridges
approximately 1 260 foot long 360 foot long and 360 foot long The proposed bridges will be
wide enough to accommodate two 12 foot travel lanes with 4 foot offsets on each side The
proposed roadway grade will be approximately the same grade of the existing roadway and
will have 3 1 side slopes in the wetland areas The proposed bridge over the Cape Fear River
(bridge number 12) will be elevated approximately 41 feet above the normal water surface
elevation and approximately 17 5 feet above the 100 year flood elevation Bridge numbers 18
and 42 are overflow bridges and will be elevated approximately 15 feet above the floodplam
floor and 0 to 2 feet above the 100 year flood elevation
Traffic will be maintained along the existing roadway during construction Temporary work
bridges will be constructed along the west and east side of bridge number 12 in order to
construct the proposed bridge and remove the existing bridge Temporary bents will be placed
in the Cape Fear River to remove the portion of the bridge over the Cape Fear River The
temporary bents will be spaced to maintain a 60 foot minimum horizontal clearance in the
channel of the river Temporary work bridges will be constructed along the west side of bridge
numbers 18 and 42 to construct the new bridges The existing causeway of NC 11 will be
removed and excavated to elevations that are lower than the 100 year flood elevation that range
from 4 to 8 feet above the natural floodplam floor
The existing aerial power transmission lines are located parallel and west of NCI I These
power lines will be relocated to the west of the proposed roadway and will cross over to the
east side of NC 11 in the northern part of the project area The power transmission lines are
115 KV and the lowest lines (the distribution line neutral wire) will be installed 48 50 feet
above the water surface elevation of the Cape Fear River and 7 to 10 feet above the proposed
bridge clearance The ROW for the relocated power transmission line will be 100 feet wide
and will result in the clearing of 2 32 acres of wetlands and the permanent conversion of 1 27
acres of forested wetlands to herbaceous /scrub shrub wetlands
The project would also result in the relocation of the existing aerial and underground telephone
and telecommunication lines The existing telephone lines (fiber optic and copper cables) are
located along the northwest side of NC 11 and the existing underground BTI

Telecommunications fiber optic lines are located along the southeast side of NC 11 The
existing telephone and telecommunication line will be abandoned and new lines will be
installed within the proposed power transmission line right of way The new lines will be
directionally drilled under all waters and wetlands and will be installed to a depth of 20 25 feet
under the Cape Fear River Three power line poles will be installed in wetland areas and the
construction of the concrete footings needed to stabilize the power line poles will result in less
than 0 01 acres of wetland impacts
Summary of Impacts, Avoidance and Minimization and Compensatory Mitigation
Wetland Impacts Construction of the proposed roadway would result in impacts to riparian
wetlands mostly located within the cleared portion of the power transmission line right of way
Fill material would be placed in 0 89 acres of wetlands and 0 23 acres of wetlands would be
mechanically cleared for the construction of the roadway and bridges The construction of the
temporary work bridges would require 0 85 acres of wetlands to be cleared by hand The
relocation of the overhead power transmission lines would result in the clearing of 2 32 acres
of wetlands and the permanent conversion of 1 27 acres of forested wetlands to
herbaceous /scrub shrub wetlands The wetland impacts are summarized in Table 2
Open Water Impacts The proposed project would result in the permanent discharge of fill
material into 1 73 acres of man made open water ponds for the construction of the proposed
roadway and bridges
Avoidance and Minimization Based on information provided by the applicant impacts to
waters of the U S cannot be fully avoided due to the costs of bridging all of the wetlands areas
The applicant proposes the following measures to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional
resources
• The applicant proposes to adhere to the Best Management Practices for Protection of
Surface Waters and the Best Management Practices for Construction and Maintenance
Activities manuals to protect surface waters and wetlands during construction and
bridge demolition
• The use of 3 1 fill slopes in jurisdictional areas
• The applicant proposes to construct the roadway within disturbed areas including the
maintained utility line corridor and the existing causeways
• The use of hand clearing rather than mechanical clearing
• Constructing temporary work bridges in wetland areas rather than using fill
• Aligning all utilities within one utility corridor
Compensatory Mitigation The applicant proposes to use the North Carolina Ecosystem
Enhancement Program (EEP) to offset the 1 12 acres of wetland impacts associated with the
permanent discharge of fill material and the mechanized land clearing EEP through
coordination with the NCDOT intends to use the Privateer Farms Mitigation Site
Compensatory mitigation for the wetland impacts are summarized in Table 2

Subject Application for a Section 10 Permit, Individual Section 404 Permit, and Individual
Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the replacement of Bridge Nos 12 18
and 42 on NC 11 over Cape Fear River and overflows in Bladen County Federal Aid
Project No BRSTP 0011 (9) State Project No 8 1421401 TIP No B 4028 Debit
$570 00 from WBS 33395 1 1
The North Carolina Department of Transportation ( NCDOT) Division of Highways in
consultation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) proposes to construct Bridge
No s 12 18 and 42 on NC 11 over the Cape Fear River and overflows The project is
approximately 13 miles in length
The purpose of this letter is to request approval for a Section 10 Permit Section 404 Individual
Permit and an Individual Section 401 Water Quality Certification In addition to this cover
letter and ENG Form 4345 this application package includes permit drawings utility permit
drawings and half size roadway plans
10 Purpose and Need
The purpose for this project as identified in the Final Environmental Assessment (EA) is to
improve safety due to Bridge Nos 12 18 and 42 having fifty seven year old superstructures and
substructure components which have experienced an increasing degree of deterioration that can
no longer be addressed by maintenance activities
20 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

70 Resource Status
The project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin and lies within Hydrologic Unit 03030005
(Subbasin 03 06 16) This is within the Middle Atlantic Coastal Plain ecoregion
71 Wetland Delineations
A wetland delineation for the study area was performed and summarized in the 2002 Natural
Resources Technical Report (NRTR) The wetlands within the study area were delineated based
on the 1987 U S Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE) Wetland Delineation Manual and a
preliminary design was prepared to avoid and minimize impacts to wetlands to the maximum
extent possible Wetland delineations were completed in July 2001 This delineation was later
field verified by Mr Richard Spencer of the USACE Wilmington District) on December 29
2004 The study area was re- delineated in August 2010
72 Stream Delineations
Data collected for streams were derived from USGS topographic maps the Bladen County Soil
Survey (USDA 1990) and site reconnaissance The data included stream classifications which
were presented in the NRTR The USACE concurred on stream classifications by Mr Richard
Spencer of the USACE Wilmington District) on December 29 2004
73 R -3825 Characterization of Jurisdictional Sites
7 3 1 Wetlands
There are three wetland communities found within the project study area The NRTR and EA
identify two wetland communities found within the project study area Bottomland Hardwood
and Floodplam Slough Roadside Canal which encompass the borrow pits maintained areas on
the west side in the utility corridor and areas that would currently be identified as Non Tidal
Freshwater Marsh A Riverme Swamp Forest wetland community was also identified after the
field work for re verifying the wetlands This was classified as a Bottomland Hardwood
community in the NRTR and EA More detailed information about these wetlands can be found
in the EA and the NRTR which includes figures showing the wetlands within the project area
7 3 2 Streams
Best Usage Classifications for the jurisdictional stream is provided in the EA 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 0 mile of the project study area None of the streams are designated as a North Carolina
Natural or Scenic River or as a National Wild and Scenic River The Cape Fear River is not
listed on the Final 2010 Section 303(d) list of impaired waters
74 Impacts to Jurisdictional Resources
Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and Cape Fear River for B 4028 are summarized below

81 Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA)
In the July 9 2007 Federal Register (72 37346 37372) the bald eagle was declared recovered
and removed (delisted) from the Pederal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife This
delisting took effect August 8 2007 After delisting the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
(Eagle Act) (16 L S C 668 668d) became the primary law protecting bald eagles A survey was
conducted on August 25 2010 found no nests within 660 feet of the project limits however
nesting and foraging habitat is present
82 Moratorium
There is an in water work moratorium for B -4028 According to the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission ( NCWRC) anadromous fish species and shortnose sturgeon are found in this
portion of the Cape Fear River An in water work moratorium between February 15 and June 30
will apply to the Cape Fear River This was requested in a letter from the NCWRC dated
February 12 2010 Correspondence (attached) with NMFS concurred that NCWRC s
moratorium would also be adequate for the shortnose sturgeon Additionally the Cape Fear
River is also designated as an Inland Primary Nursery Area (IPNA) in the study area However
NCWRC stated through personal communication (Travis Wilson Oct 4 2011) that NCDOT is
not required to adhere to the IPNA in water work moratorium
90 Cultural Resources
The potential effect of the proposed project on cultural resources in the project area was
evaluated in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as
amended The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) letter dated May 15 2008 determined
that removal of the existing structure (Bridge No 12) will have an Adverse Affect on the historic
property which will require a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) On August 18 2010
NCDOT FHWA and SHPO completed an MOA for the ieplacenient of Bridge No 12 The
filing of the MOA and execution of its terms completes the requirements of Section 106 of the
National Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation regulations with
this project (see FONSI Appendix D)
An archaeological survey of the projects area of potential effect was conducted by NCDOT
archaeologists to determine the projects impact on significant archaeological or historical
resources No archaeological sites were found within the projects area of potential effects
Therefore no additional archaeological investigation is recommended for this project The
SHPO concurred with these findings in a letter dated May 15 2002 A copy of this letter can be
found in the FONSI
10 0 FEMA Compliance
The project has been coordinated with appropriate state and local officials and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to assure compliance with FEMA state and local
floodway regulations

At the request of regulatory agencies NCDOT will remove the existing causeway and grade
the area down to natural ground elevation within the easement
112 Compensation
The NCDOT has avoided and minimized impacts to jurisdictional resources to the greatest extent
possible as described above The unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional riparian and non riparian
wetlands will be offset by compensatory mitigation provided by the EEP A copy of the EEP
acceptance letter dated November 1 2011 is attached
NCDOT is not proposing mitigation for hand clearing for the following reasons
This activity does not create a permanent wetland conversion from forested or
scrub /shrub to herbaceous
Hand clearing is not prohibited based on the following definition of dredged material
Title 33 U S C 323 2(d)(2) The term discharge of dredged material does not include the
following (ii) Activities that involve only the cutting or removing of vegetation above the
ground (e g mowing rotary cutting and chainsawing) where the activity neither
substantially disturbs the root system nor involves mechanized pushing dragging or
other similar activities that redeposit excavated soil material
Additionally NCDOT was asked to perform the N C Wetland Assessment Method
(WAM) This has been performed however the implementation aspect of WAM has not
been put on public notice for comments For this reason NCDOT does not feel that
WAM should be used at this time to determine the need for compensatory mitigation
12 0 Indirect and Cumulative Effects
The Environmental Assessment and subsequent Finding of No Significant Impact for B 4028
determined that no significant impacts to natural ecological cultural scenic or community
resources are expected due to the construction of the preferred alternative Any direct impacts to
resources have been avoided (where possible) minimized and mitigated The bridge is being
replaced immediately upstream of the existing structure and is not creating any new access to
adjacent land or offering any significant travel time savings Therefore no indirect or
cumulative effects are expected due to the construction of B 4028
