Attachment L: Low Impact Bridge Replacement Process
Low Impact Bridge Project No.: C 202923 County Oranqe
Bridge No. 000141 over UT to South Flat River WBS Element Number 17BP.7.R.1
This project is subject to the Low Impact Bridge Process as agreed to on October 6,
2009. This project meets the documentation requirements and approval procedures
under NEPA, as defined by FHWA, for Low Impact Bridge Replacements. This project
meets the standards of NCDOT's Minimum Criteria Rules.

Project Description — The project consists of repiacing Bridge #141 over a UT to South Flat
River on SR 1528 (Sawyer Road) and improving roadway approaches. The existing 36' L X 25'
W timber deck on steel I-beams supported by timber caps on timber piles is structurally deficient
and will be replaced with a new singie span, 80' L X 30' W, prestressed concrete box beams
supported by concrete end bents on steel piles bridge at the same location. An off-site detour
will be utilized during construction. The project involves a small area of hand clearing within
wetlands, 60 linear feet of permanent stream impacts (bank stabilization) and 21 linear feet of
temporary stream impacts that are necessary in order to construct the bridge to NCDOT
standards. The project drainage system consists of shoulder berm gutters to that wili discharge
onto concrete flumes which outlet to rip rap dissipato�s outside the riparian area at non erosive
velocities. Proposed Riparian Buffer impacts include 1,678 square feet in Zone 1 and 490

square feet in Zone 2 to accommodate the wider span bridge and the necessary fill slopes. A
review was conducted for the presence of threatened and endangered species; while the habitat
for several species is present (i.e. E. laevrgata, H. leucocephalus, P. borea(is & R. Michauxii),
there is no record of these species being present and thus, a No Effect conclusion was drawn.
The Bald Eagle is protected in every county in North Carolina under the Bald and Gold Eagle
Protection Act; however, no suitable feeding/water source is located within one mile of the
project study area to support Bald Eagle habitat.
