Dear Sir
Subject Notification for Nationwide Permit 14 (Minor Road Crossing)
NCDENR 401 WQC 3886
Curve Re alignment NC 131 in Bladen County
TIP Project Number W 5505 State Project Number 45504
The North Carolina Department of Transportation ( NCDOT) proposes to complete a Division 6
Spot Safety project along NC 131 in Bladen County The project is located approximately 1 1
mile South of the intersection of NC 131 and NC 87 just South of Tar Heel Total length of the
project is 0 303 miles
Within the project area there is a tight curve that is very dangerous The NCDOT Area Traffic
Engineer has analyzed the current condition and has recommended that the curve be re aligned
with a larger radius which now meets FHWA Safety requirements By relocating NC 131 there
will be impacts to Crooked Bay Branch and associated jurisdictional wetlands
Crossing
Roadway Station
Existing Culvert
Proposed Culvert
Permit site #1
Sta 14 + 35

New Stream Impacts = 20 linear feet
Wetland - Roadway Station Wetland 1i
Permit Site 41 Sta 14 +00 — Sta 19 +90 0 214 acres
New Wetland Impacts = 0 214 acres
Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Lumber
River Basin Permit site 41 is Crooked Bay Branch (Class C Sw) The project is located within
the 03040203 Hydrologic Unit sub basin 03 07 53
P 0 Box 11-')0 Fayetteville NC 28302 11 �0 Telephone [phone] Fax [phone]

As mentioned there have been a considerable amount of accidents within this short section of
roadway Signage and Speed limit warning have not mitigated the unsafe conditions By
realigning NC 131 there will be a smoother transition through the curve Additionally since the
old roadbed will remain minus the asphalt paving there will be plenty of recovery area to the
outside of the curve Utilities will remain within the old roadbed
Crooked Bay Branch flows under NC 131 at Station 14 +35 Currently triple 40LF 60 CMP s
conveys the flows The culverts are severely corroded and require replacement A 60LF 15 x5
Aluminum Box Culvert has been designed as the replacement The box culvert will be buried
one foot Crooked Bay Branch is an intermittent channel that scored 25 on the NCDENR DWQ
Stream Assessment form For much of this year hydrology is apparent only after significant
rainfall events
Jurisdictional Riverme Wetlands have been identified between Station 14 +00 to Station 19 +90
along NC 131 The total wetland impacts for the realignment are 0 214 acres of permanent fill
and 0 044 acre of temporary impacts for Erosion Control NC WAM was run for the impacted
area and it was High It is comprised of Red Bay Sweet Bay and Loblolly Bays With a high
water table the forest floor is soft with detritus and green with several types of moss Moss also
covers buttressed tree trunks as well as above ground root systems
RESOURCE STATUS
In general there will be minor impacts proposed as a result of the replacement of the culvert
along NC 131 in Bladen County A Nationwide Permit #14 / NCDENR 401 —W—QC 3886 is
required for the project
Endangered Species Plants and animals with Federal classification of Endangered (E) or
Threatened (T) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973 as amended As of September 22 2010 the U S Fish and Wildlife Service
lists seven federally protected species for Bladen County

survey for protected species Protected species were not identified nor was the general habitat
for each species identified
REGULATORY APPROVALS
Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Nationwide Permit 14 / NCDENR 401
WQC 3886 as required by the above described activities
The National Register was reviewed in addition to conducting a field view of the project for
significant historic features
The project impacts are minor in nature and should not remove or degrade existing water quality
uses Pipe sizes proposed are the minimum necessary to create a safe highway while
accommodating the 25 year design storm There is no record within the NCDOT District 3
Office (Bladen County) that the road experiences flood overtopping By utilizing the erosion
control measures downstream water quality standards will be protected All appropriate BMP s
will be utilized during construction

3a Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application
Surrounding landscape is Rivenne Swamp Forest wetlands on both sides adjacent to farm fields and open meadows
3b List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property
0 214 acres
3c List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property
20 linear feet
- -3d— Explain the purpose of the proposed project
This curve has an extremely high rate of Run off Road crashes NCDOT has tried several measures to increase the
safety of this curve to no avail As a last resort NCDOT proposes to shift the curve to the East and change the radius of
the curve This will increase the tolerable rate of speed for this curve and should decrease the amount of crashes that
are occuring
3e Describe the overall project in detail including the type of equipment to be used
From Station 13 +00 to Station 24 +00 the roadbed shall be shifted to the East 75feet at center of curve Thus increasing
the available travel speed The existing roadbed between these Stations will be abandoned The existing culverts will be
replaced in a proactive measure by the Department Impacts will be minimized as much as possible The culverts will be
replaced utilizing a track hoe excavator While front end loaders will place fill material Eventually a motor grader will
finish grade the project prior to paving

Subject EEP Mitigation Acceptance Lettei
Improvements to NC 131 Bladen County WBS Number 45504
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) will provide the
compensatory ripai ian wetland mitigation for the subject project Based on the information supplied by you on
August 10 2012 the impacts are located in CU 03040203 of the Lumber River basin in the Southern Inner Coastal
Plain (SICP) Eco Region and are as follows
Lumber

This impact and associated mitigation need were under projected by the NCDOT in the 2012 impact data
EEP will commit to implement sufficient compensatory riparian wetland mitigation credits to offset the impacts
associated with this project as determined by the regulatory agencies using the delivery timeline listed in Section
F 3 c ni of the N C Department of Environment and Natural Resources Ecosystem Enhancement Program In Lieu
