4. Project Description and History
4a.Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*

Bridge 52(Neuse River)and Bridge 152(Neuse River Overflow)were built in 1954.Bridge 52 is approximately 451 feet long,26.2 feet wide and consists of nine spans.Bridge 152 is
approximately 200 feet long,26.2 feet wide and consists of four spans.There are no existing pedestrian or bicycle facilities along SR 1389 in the project study area inclusive of Bridge
52 and Bridge 152.State bike route number 7,Ocracoke Option,is located within the project study area at both bridge locations.The Mountains-to-Sea Trail(MST)planned corridor
also identifies a paddle route section along the Neuse River at Bridge 52.
Land use in the project study area is a combination of maintained roadsides,residential,agricultural and undeveloped natural areas.The project study area is rural and predominantly
undeveloped with maintained/mowed road right-of-way,open stream channel flanked by floodplain and forested wetland and agricultural fields toward the northern and southern
(upland)ends of the project study area.The Bear Creek-Mill Branch Mitigation Bank is under a conservation easement.After coordination with the USAGE it was determined that a
existing utility pole can be replaced in place,within the conservation easement boundary.
4b.Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project(including all prior phases)in the past?*
c Yes r No r Unknown
4c.If yes,please give the DWR Certification number or the Corps Action ID(exp.SAW-0000-00000).

superstructure and substructure conditions.Safety is a factor for both bridges.
4i.Describe the overall project in detail,including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The proposed replacement of Bridges No.52 over the Neuse River and No.152 over the Neuse River Overflow and their approaches will be on existing alignment.Traffic will be
rerouted and maintained along a 16.5-mile off-site detour during construction.Proposed replacement Bridge 52 will have a minimum 35-foot clear roadway with 12-foot lanes and
minimum 5-foot shoulders on both sides of the bridge with 5 spans and 42-inch high bridge railings to accommodate bicyclists.Proposed replacement Bridge 152 will have a minimum
36 feet and six inches of clear roadway width that includes two 12-foot lanes with minimum 6-foot three-inch shoulders on both sides of the bridge with 4 spans and 42-inch high bridge
railings to accommodate bicyclists.The replacement Bridge 52 will be approximately 460 feet long and Bridge 152 will be approximately 220 feet long.Standard road building
equipment,such as trucks,dozers,and cranes will be used.

Supporting Documentation
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1.Avoidance and Minimization
la.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Impacts were minimized by using an offsite detour and only one temporary bridge as opposed to two temporary bridges.Design Standards in Sensitive
Watersheds will be utilized.
lb.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The Neuse River Overflow Bridge will be replaced using top-down construction.Stormwater will outlet onto a riprap pad outside the wetlands for the
Overflow Bridge.Stormwater for the Neuse River Bridge will be treated at each end and will outlet into preformed scour holes.Preformed scour holes
will help prevent erosion in buffer zones.Roadway improvements were contained as much as possible within the existing roadway embankment and
right of way to minimize impacts to wetlands.
An in-water work moratorium from 2/15-9/30 will be adhered to due to the Neuse River being an Inland Primary Nursery as well as Critical Habitat for
the Atlantic sturgeon at this location.

Miscellaneous A
Comments
The current WQC 4133 for the NW 12 only allows 20'for permanent utility easements in wetlands and streams however a 30'easement is planned for this project.The new WQC 4275
for the upcoming new NW 57 allows for a 30'easement.We'd request an exception for the current WV 12 or issuance under the new NW 57(3/15/2021).
Written approval from DWR is required for the GP 50 however with the NW 57 option,it does not appear DWR's authorization will require an Individual 401 WQC as impacts due to utility
relocations falling below requirements for written approval.
