RE: Pre-Construction Notification – Nationwide Permit 14
CSX Transportation, Inc.
Lumberton Bridge Replacement – MP 305.0
Wilmington Subdivision, Florence Division
Pittman Road, Lumberton, North Carolina
AMEC Project No. 643008299

Dear Mr. Bailey:

This application is made subject to the rights of CSX Transportation, Inc. (CSXT) under Section
10501(b) of the Federal Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995 and Section
20106 of the Federal Railroad Safety Act which are expressly preserved and not waived. In
support thereof, the following information for the subject project is being submitted, which
information is true and correct to the best of our knowledge.

CSXT is submitting the attached Pre-Construction Notification (Attachment 1) along with
attached supplemental project information for impacts to “waters of the U.S.” resulting from
bridge replacement activities to the existing CSXT Wilmington Subdivision main line track at
Milepost (MP) 305.0 near the City of Lumberton, North Carolina. It is our understanding that this
project should be covered under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide permit 14.
The proposed project will occur within the existing CSXT right-of-way. A site location map is
included in Attachment 2.

Project Description and Purpose
The purpose of this project is to replace the existing CSXT bridge structure at MP 305.0 with a
culvert. The existing bridge crosses forested wetlands of the Big Swamp and would be replaced
with a triple box culvert. The project site is located approximately 6 miles to the east of
Lumberton. Access to the project site is from Pittman Road, via state highway NC 211.

The existing bridge at MP 305.0 is a 52-foot long timber trestle that has reached the end of its
functional service life. The bridge will be replaced with a concrete culvert that is structurally
equivalent and provides equal or greater hydraulic properties. In order to replace the bridge a
temporary sheet pile cofferdam will be installed around the existing structure, the timber trestle
demolished and removed, then the new precast triple box culvert installed in the same location.
January 21, 2014
Page 2

Access for construction equipment and materials will be provided adjacent to the existing track
from a grade crossing approximately 0.6 mile west of the bridge. The temporary cofferdam will
provide for drainage during construction and will be removed once construction is complete.
Engineering detail drawings of the proposed project are included in Attachment 3.

Impacts to Waters of the U.S.
Mr. David Bailey of the USACE Wilmington Regulatory Field Office conducted the verification of
Jurisdictional Determination (table-top review). The USACE issued Corps Action Id. SAW -2013-
01609 for the binding Jurisdictional Determination on August 28, 2013 (see Attachment 4). The
limits of jurisdictional “waters of the U.S.” at MP 305.0 are depicted on the detailed drawings
(Attachment 3).

The project will permanently impact 0.05 acre of Cypress-Gum Swamp; specifically, the fill
impact will occur to an open water area with herbaceous vegetation which exists immediately
landward of the wetland forest vegetation (trees and shrubs). The project will temporarily impact
0.002 acre of the wetland through placement of a cofferdam.

Avoidance and Minimization of Impacts
Avoidance measures in designing the box culvert were somewhat limited by the existing railroad
right-of-way. However, placement of the culvert in the location of the existing bridge minimizes
impacts to wetlands which have not previously been impacted. The culvert was designed to be
the minimal size which can still carry the 100-year storm. Impacts to wetlands will be avoided
during construction by utilizing existing right-of-way, uplands to access the site with construction
machinery. Silt fences and other sediment and erosion control best management practices will
be utilized to avoid impacts to wetlands through erosion and sedimentation.

Mitigation of Impacts
CSXT is not proposing compensatory mitigation for the 0.05 acre of impact to jurisdictional
“waters of the U.S.” on this project.

Additional Attachments
As the Deed Book recording was not applicable to this project (i.e., the railroad property was not
recorded at the local jurisdiction), a Valuation Map Number V04979 (Attachment 5) is included
with this submittal package.

AMEC submitted a request for threatened and endangered species review to the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information, Planning, and Conservation (IPAC) database. A copy of
the results is included with this submittal package (Attachment 6). AMEC submitted a request
for historical project review to the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, State
Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). A copy of the July 19, 2013 SHPO concurrence letter is
included with this submittal package (Attachment 7).

minimizes impacts to wetlands which have not previously been impacted. The culvert was designed to be the minimal
size which can still carry the 100-year storm.
b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Impacts to wetlands will be avoided during construction by utilizing existing right -of-way, uplands to access the site with
construction machinery. Silt fences and other sediment and erosion control best management practices will be utilized to
avoid impacts to wetlands through erosion and sedimentation.
