9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
Bridge No. 144 is located over Colly Creek on SR1102. The bridge is approximately 0.9 miles by
water from the Black River and approximately 600 feet north of the intersection of SR 1102 with NC
210, near Currie, Pender County. SR1102 connects NC 210 and NC 11/53 and allows access to the
lands along the Black River between the roads.
The bridge and road are elevated on "a fill causeway 12' —14' above the adjacent normal water
level of Colly Creek. The sides of the causeway to the bridge are maintained and well vegetated with
sod grasses. The adjacent lands around the bridge project are wooded swamps with the nearest
residential housing located adjacent to NC 210. A small unnamed tributary flows to Colly Creek
along the toe of the causeway fill in the southwest quadrant of the bridge.
The existing bridge is a two_ lane bridge that is 151' long and 26' wide out to out, with two 9'
wide travel lanes and 3' wide shoulders. The bridge is a fixed bridge consisting of five spans, with
approximately 30' of horizontal distance between spans and 11' of vertical clearance underneath the
bridge. The bridge superstructure consists of a concrete deck on concrete channel girders and is
supported with 4 bents consisting of concrete caps on timber piles. All four of the existing bents
have been supplemented with H -pile helper bents and concrete collars have been placed around some
of the existing bridge bent pilings to strengthen them due to deterioration. Stormwater from the
bridge currently drains into Colly Creek via deck drains located along each side of the bridge. An
underground telephone line parallels the east side of the bridge and causeway.
Colly Creek is classified C; Sw by the Environmental Management Commission in the area of the
proposed construction and is classified by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources. Commission as
Inland Waters (NCWRC). The NCWRC has not classified Colly Creek as an Anadromous Fish
Spawning Area or a Primary Nursery Area. The waters are closed to shellfishing by the Shellfish
Sanitation Section of the Division of Marine Fisheries. Colly Creek is approximately 80' wide and
8' deep in the area of the bridge. There were no SAV's observed in the project area during the site
visit:
Project Proposal
. NCDOT proposes to replace the existing Bridge No. 144 over Colly Creek. The project involves
replacement of the existing bridge with a concrete cored slab bridge and new approaches. 'To initiate
the project, the existing bridge would be closed and traffic re- routed to an off -site detour route along
NC 11/53 and NC 210, - approximately seven miles in length. The existing bridge would be
completely demolished and removed from the project site utilizing Best Management Practices for
Bridge Demolition and Removal, such that any component of the bridge dropped into the water
would be immediately removed.
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
BRIDGE NO. 144 OVER COLD' CREEK
PAGE #3
The new bridge as proposed would be 150' long and 30' wide out to out, which would be
approximately 4' wider than the existing bridge. The new bridge would consist of three 50' long
spans, including two bents in the water. The new bridge has been designed to allow 11' of vertical
clearance underneath the bridge, which would be the same as the existing clearance height. The new
bridge would have two 10' wide travel lanes, with a 4' offset on each side. Concrete barrier rails
would be constructed along each side of the bridge for safety purposes.
NCDOT would construct the bridge utilizing top down construction methods and build the bridge
with no deck drains over surface waters, however, 4" x 8" deck drains would be required near the
ends of the bridge and would discharge onto concrete dissipater pads on high ground areas below the
bridge to prevent the spread of any stormwater into the travel lanes. Anyremaining stormwater from
the bridge deck would drain to grated inlets on the north end of the bridge and be discharged into
wetlands before draining to the creek.
The applicant has also proposed to raise and widen the approach structures to the bridge. The
asphalt on the north and south'ends of the bridge would be raised by 1 foot, for 150' and 174' from
the ends of the bridge, respectively. The causeway on the north end of the bridge would be widened
to 108', while the causeway on the south end of the bridge would be widened up to 101'. The road
would then be striped with two 10' wide travel lanes with eight foot_ shoulders, five feet of which
would be paved. New guardrails would also be constructed along the road for 80' from the ends of
the bridge.
The bases of the bridge are to be stabilized with Class 11 rip rap. The rip rap as proposed would
be up to 15' in width and 140' in length on the southern end of the bridge. The rip rap under the
northern end of the bridge would be 20' in width and 160' in length. The rip rap would be placed
entirely above the NWL elevation of Colly Creek.
The raising of the causeway would require filling in a 203 linear foot section of the unnamed
tributary in the southwest quadrant of the, proj ect. The applicant has proposed to relocate the stream
using natural stream design to just beyond the toe of the proposed causeway slope. An additional 10
linear feet of stream would be impacted during the temporary dewatering of the stream and
approximately 30 linear feet of the new stream channel would be stabilized with Class I rip rap. The
replacement of the bridge would also require that the existing telephone line on the east side of the
bridge be repositioned for 420' by directionally boring under the creek. The proposal indicates the
telephone line would be a minimum of 15' under the creek. No other utility line work is anticipated
with the project.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed bridge would permanently shade 2,400 sq. ft. of the Public Trust Area of Colly
Creek, which would be an increase of 320 sq. ft. beyond that which exists with the current bridge.
The horizontal clearance under the bridge would increase from approximately 30' to approximately
48', while the vertical clearance would remain unchanged.
The project would require 6,200 sq. ft. of fill in Section 404 Wetlands to allow widening of the
causeway as a result of raising the grade of the road. Another 2,614 sq. ft: of Section 404 Wetlands
Would be mechanically cleared to allow equipment access to construct the bridge. _Approximately
242 sq. ft. of Section 404 Wetlands would be excavated to create the tie in for the relocated stream to
Colly Creek.
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
BRIDGE NO. 144 OVER COLLV CREED
PAGE #4
--------------------- - - - - --
The relocated stream would permanently impact 203 linear feet of stream and temporarily 10
additional feet of stream. The construction of the project would also disturb'25,792 sq. A. of high
ground for the construction of the bridge approaches and the raising of the bridge approaches.
The applicant has proposed to mitigate for the impacts to the Section 404 Wetlands by contracting
with the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) and has proposed to mitigate the stream impacts
by relocation of the stream utilizing natural stream design. A localized increase in turbidity can be
expected during the in -water portions of the project for the demolition of the'existing bridge-and
construction of the new bridge. - No additional closures of shellfishing waters are expected in
association with the proposed project.
- Traffic along SR1102 would be re- routed during the - construction of the project, which would
result in increased travel times and distances for those currently utilizing SR1102; however, the
public Js expected to benefit upon completion of the project by the increase in the safety and
efficiency of the new bridge and approach structures.

SR 1102 Morgan Road approximately 0.1 miles North of NC 210
Currie, Pender County, WBS # 17BP.3.R-26
Dear Mr. Lane:
i
The North Carolina Department of Transportation ( NCDOT) is requesting issuance of a CAMA Major
Permit to replace Pender County Bridge #144 on SR 1102 Morgan Road in Pender County. The proposal is
to replace the existing 151 feet long by approximate 26 feet wide 5 span concrete bridge on concrete caps
and timber piles with a 150 feet long by 30 feet wide 3 span 21 inch cored slab bridge on existing
alignment as described in this package. The existing navigable vertical clearance would be maintained
while the horizontal navigable clearance would be significantly improved. The proposed bridge
replacement project would require utility work of relocating an underground telecommunications line.
Onsite stream relocation mitigation is proposed for this project as further described herein.
Please find enclosed the following:
1) CAMA Permit application forms MP -1 and MP -5
2) Minimum Criteria Determination Checklist (unsigned as I usually await return of permits to sign)

Pender 144 Bridge Replacement _
CAMA Permit Application Cover Letter
February 26, 2014
Page Two
The water body at the location of Pender County Bridge #144 is Colly Creek and is classified as C Sw. It
appears that Colly Creek is not classified as Primary Nursery Area nor as Anadromous Fish Spawning Area
per map review. There is also an unnamed tributary to Colly Creek in the SW quadrant as well as
surrounding riparian wetlands in all four quadrants. ,
The several various impacts are described as follows. The wetland fill impacts are needed for the safer
standard fill slope sections proposed as well as a small portion of fill in the NE quadrant for a rip rap pad at
the outlet of a storm drainage pipe. The permanent stream impacts are for impacting an unnamed tributary
to Colly Creek in the SW quadrant in order to accommodate the safer standard fill section in the SW
quadrant; much of the unnamed tributary in its existing location is at the immediate toe of the existing
roadway fill. An excavation in wetland impact is necessary to make a smooth transition for a proposed
stream relocation mitigation effort into wetlands as described at length in the attached mitigation plan
referencing the SW quadrant unnamed tributary. Mechanized clearing impacts are necessary to
accommodate the nearby operations of filling and excavation as well as for the installation of erosion
control measures.
Please note that rip rap toe protection/bank stabilization is proposed in the SW quadrant -from Station
10 +65 to 10+95 LT for stabilization of a portion of the unnamed tributary relocation as further described
herein. Please also note that I have not completed the MP -2 form as my reasoning is that the described
bank stabilization effort is not for Colly Creek which I believe to be the predominant consideration for the
NCDCM jurisdiction at this location. Nonetheless, please advise if the MP -2 form is needed for the
described bank stabilization effort of the unnamed tributary.
Additionally, NCDOT by copy of this package is making application to the US Army Corps of Engineers
and to the NC Division of Water Resources for the appropriate permits for this project.
NCDOT acknowledges that the appropriate fee will be debited against the WBS element provided above
for processing this CAMA Major Permit application.
Thank you for all your help working through this process. If you have any'questions or need additional
information in this regard please contact me at (910) 341 -2036.

The existing bridge deck drainage is drained via a combination of bridge deck drains and flow off of the bridge and down the
bridge approach fill slopes. The existing bridge deck drains appear to be routinely clogged with debris, sediment, and
vegetative material and so likely do not function as intended in large part. The bridge deck drainage that does not discharge
through the deck drain system would make its way off of either end of the bridge (with a majority going to the north end
apparently based on the existing linear slope of the bridge) and discharge down the existing vegetated shoulders prior to
discharging into wetland areas. Note that there is some existing asphalt on the fill slopes on the north end of bridge. The
existing roadway drainage travels over vegetated shoulder areas and down vegetated slopes prior to discharging to wetland
and upland areas; a majority of the roadway drainage within the project area would drain to wetlands areas. Some of the
roadway drainage in the SW quadrant discharges directly into an unnamed tributary to Colly Creek. Some of the roadway
drainage in the SE quadrant discharges to upland areas prior to flowing into the wetlands. The north side of the creek
roadway drainage discharges into wetland areas after coming off of the vegetated fill slopes. There is a good bit of asphalt
coating a large portion of the fill slopes in the NE quadrant. This asphalt runs from toward the bottom of the fill slope about
half way up the fill slope.

b. Give a brief description of purpose, use, and daily operations of the project when complete.
The purpose of the project is to preserve the mobility and safety of the traveling public by replacing the existing deteriorated
bridge structure. The existing 151' long and 25.6' wide 5 -span prestressed concrete bridge on concrete caps and timber piles
will be replaced with a 3 -span 150' long (3 spans at 50' each) by 30' wide out to out, 21" cored slab bridge.
c. Describe the proposed construction methodology, types of construction equipment to be used during construction, the number of each type
of equipment and where it is to be stored.
The existing bridge would be removed from high ground. An offsite detour would be utilized. 18" steel pipe piles would be
driven with a hammer on a 110 ton crane. A 20 ton excavator,rubber tire loader /backhoe, D5 dozer, and roller compactor
would be used during construction. Flatbed and pick -up trucks would also be utilized. Wattle Barriers would be utilized under
the bridge to prevent turbity and sediment from entering into the wetlands and the JS as well as other sedimentation and
erosion control measures as necessary.
d. List all development activities you propose.
NCDOT proposes the construction of the described concrete bridge to replace the existing bridge and roadway
improvements to the bridge approaches for safety of the traveling public. This would include construction of associated
drainage infrastructure including shoulder berm gutter, drop inlets and piping to a rip rap pad, and deck drains with dissipator
pads below. Also, the approach fill ends at the abutments would be protected with rip rap. ar r tributary to
Colly Creek in the SW quadrant would be relocated as shown on attached drawings to provi a site mitiga ion for stream
impacts to the unnamed tributary due to the necessary widening of the fill slopes; appropriate, egetative stablization
including coir fiber matting, seeding, and reforestation would be part of this onsite mitigation ffFEEG ar�drailj tl uld be
installed. The project area roadway and new bridge would be surfaced with asphalt; there vlt uld be s ig�t widening of the
pavement area in the project vicinity primarily for tying in the asphalt to the front of the! uar r it areas. An underground
telecommunications line would be relocated by boring. Rip rap toe and bank protection wo ( ��;;gg�,II tt� ,d ,,,,,,at the juncture of

h. Describe location and type of existing and proposed discharges to waters of the state.
Please see section 4.p. above for an in depth description of the existing stormwater situation. Proposed bridge deck runoff
would be discharged with portions discharging through deck drains outside of open water areas; the deck drain locations are
shown on the attached Bridge Survey Report. Rock dissipator pads below the deck drains would be utilized to disperse the
associated energy. The deck drains are necessary to prevent,unsafe spread of the stormwater on the bridge deck which
would otherwise compromise the safety of the traveling public. - Other portions of the bridge deck drainage would be
collected at the low end - (north end) of the proposed bridge in drainage structures and discharged onto a rip rap pad to
reduce velocities to less than 2fps before entering the wetlands in the NE quadrant. The wetlands would provide treatment
of the stormwater prior to its entering Colly Creek. The roadway drainage would primarily drain over vegetated shoulder and
vegetated fill slope areas prior to discharging to wetland areas in the northern quadrants. The roadway drainage in the SW
quadrant'would drain to the relocated unnamed tributary much as the existing situation is now although the proposed
situation is better in that the roadway drainage would be draining over proposed 3:1 fill slopes rather than the existing
steeper than 3:1 slopes. The roadway drainage in the SE quadrant would also drain over vegetated shoulder and fill slope
areas prior to discharging to wetland and upland areas. All quadrants would benefit from the proposed discussed 3:1 slopes
as compared with the existing steeper slopes. In all quadrants except the SW quadrant (as already discussed), the roadway
drainage would be treated via uplands and /or wetlands as described prior to entering Colly Creek.

Mitigation Plan
Pender Bridge 144 Replacement Project
Currie, Pender County, NC
WBS No. 17BP.3.R.26
February 25, 2014
1.0 Baseline Information
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes mitigation for the unavoidable impacts to
jurisdictional features associated with the Pender Bridge 144 replacement project on SR 1102 Morgan
Road approximately 0.1 miles north of NC 210 in the Currie area of Pender County. NCDOT proposes to
perform on -site mitigation for unavoidable permanent stream impacts. Also, NCDOT proposes off -site
mitigation through the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) for unavoidable wetland impacts. The
onsite mitigation would provide for 202 linear feet of stream relocation at a 1:1(mitigated:impacted)
ratio as further described herein. The offsite mitigation would provide for a 2:1(mitigated:impacted)
ratio for the 0.20 acres of permanent wetland impact losses associated with the project. The
acceptance letter from the EEP for the offsite wetland mitigation is included with the permit application
documentation. Please note that most of the discussion of this mitigation plan document is devoted to
the proposed onsite stream mitigation although there is more discussion in regard to the offsite
mitigation as it pertains to the associated impacts. Please note that references herein to the mitigation
site are in reference to the onsite mitigation should it not otherwise be reiterated as onsite mitigation
throughout this document.
This project is located on Colly Creek, an unnamed tributary to Colly Creek, and abutting riparian
wetlands within USGS Hydrologic Cataloging Unit 03030006, and NC Division of Water Resources sub -
basin 03 -06 -20 of the Cape Fear River Basin. The site is located on SR 1102 Morgan Road approximately
0.1 miles north of NC 210 in the Currie area of Pender County. The onsite mitigation area is entirely
within the NCDOT right of way. The adjacent land uses to the mitigation site are the roadway of SR 1102
to the east and upland and riparian forest systems otherwise. There is evidence of some past clearing
activities to the west of the upper reaches of the mitigation site judging from the lack of mature canopy
in that area, however, it is not thought that this would be detrimental to the success of the onsite
mitigation proposal.
Three jurisdictional features are associated with the roadway project area those being Colly Creek, an
unnamed tributary to Colly Creek, and the abutting Cypress -Gum Swamp community located within the
floodplain and abutting areas of Colly Creek. Colly Creek has been assigned Stream Index Number 18-
68-17 with classification of C Sw. Colly Creek scored a perennial score of 41.5 on the NCDWQ Stream
Identification Form. The unnamed tributary to Colly Creek scored 28 on the NCDWQ Stream
Identification Form, however, the unnamed tributary was ultimately rated as perennial based on the
best professional judgment of the reviewer; see the NCDWQ Stream Identification Form for more
information in this regard. The wetlands associated with this project are classified as riverine swamp
forest according to the NC Wetland Assessment Method.
2.0 Site Selection
The mitigation site is immediately adjacent to the west side of SR 1102 Morgan Road and runs from
approximate Station 10 +65 LT to 12 +67 LT (12 +67 LT being the point of discharge to Colly Creek). The
mitigation site currently consists of wooded areas part upland and part wetland. The new stream
channel would be constructed as shown on the attached plans including a smooth tie in of the
constructed channel portion to the down gradient wetlands to ensure a successful transition between
the constructed channel and naturally cut channel as further described. Approximately 135 feet of the
proposed stream relocation of 202 feet would be constructed while the remaining 67 feet would occur
by the forces of nature cutting the new channel through the down gradient wetland area upon turning
water into the newly constructed channel portion. The stream relocation would be stabilized by means
of appropriate vegetation as described herein.
3.0 Site Protection Instrument
The mitigation site would be managed to prohibit all use inconsistent with its use as mitigation property,
including any activity that would materially alter the biological integrity or functional and educational
value of the site, consistent with the mitigation plan as described herein. Please note that the road fill
side of the mitigation effort would be routinely mowed to near water's edge much as the existing
situation and as conceptually depicted on Permit Drawing SRF -1. The side of the stream opposite the
road fill, however, would be planted as further described herein and allowed to grow to maturity. Also,
the site would be signed appropriately near the road side edge of water of the UT to indicate the
mitigation-site to help deter inadvertent impacts.
The site is designated on the plan sheets as a mitigation area and will be placed on the Natural
Environment Section's Mitigation GeoDatabase. This database is provided to all NCDOT personnel as a
record of mitigation sites and their attributes, including prohibited activities. NCDOT is held by virtue of
the permits associated with this mitigation site and the associated roadway impacts to protect the site
in perpetuity.
4.0 Objectives
The goal of the proposed mitigation is to offset permanent impacts due to construction of the Pender
Bridge 144 replacement project.
The Pender Bridge 144 replacement project proposes to permanently impact 0.21 acres of wetlands by
filling of 0.14 acres, mechanized clearing of 0.06 acres, and excavation of 0.01 acres. It should be noted
that the 0.01 acres of excavation is for making a smooth transition of the constructed portion of the
stream relocation to the down gradient wetlands to facilitate the natural stream channel cutting
through said wetlands. Thereby, the referenced 0.01 acres of excavation, while a permanent impact,
should not be considered a loss of wetlands but rather an enhancement to the successful mitigation
effort as described. So, the remaining 0.20 acres (0.14 acres of fill and 0.06 acres of mechanized
clearing) have been accepted by EEP to be mitigated offsite at a 2:1 ratio.
Z FEB 2 8 2094
�eurcl�
The Pender Bridge 144 replacement project proposes to permanently impact 213 linear feet of the
unnamed tributary to Colly Creek. This impact is due to the necessity of creating a safer standard road
fill section. Options were investigated to avoid said stream impacts. Piping the UT under the road was
investigated but was determined to not be practical due to resultant impacts and economics as such
considered pipe would likely have to be bored and jacked. Also, the use of 1.5:1 roadway fill slopes was
investigated but the toe of the fill would still intercept the middle of the existing stream resulting in
permanent impacts to the stream. So, it was determined to relocate the stream and provide a natural
design to hopefully achieve the safer standard roadway section and attain a stream that will ultimately
be as good as that being impacted. Please note that the first 10 feet of the proposed 213 feet of
permanent stream impacts should not be considered a loss of waters but rather are for dewatering
measures as well as tie in of the new stream channel portion to the existing channel portion at around
station 10 +55 to 10 +65. The referenced 10 feet is shown as permanent impact on the plan sheets and
impact table (the 10 feet is included as part of the 213 feet) due to the potential nature of this area to
be permanently changed with the tie in, but again this section should not be considered permanent loss
of stream as that same channel bottom section would more or less be retained. So we have 203 feet
(213 feet permanently impacted minus the 10 feet not a permanent loss) of permanent stream loss
resultant. The mitigation effort proposes to relocate the stream and provide 202 feet of stream in
return. As previously discussed, 135 feet of the relocated stream would be constructed while the
remaining.67 feet would be cut out by the forces of nature upon turning the water into the newly
constructed channel portion. Please note that the first 30 feet (approximate station 10 +65 to 10 +95) of
the relocated stream portion would have rip rap toe protection /bank stabilization to protect that bend
area and likely sensitive area considering the historic flow in that location. So, the mitigation effort
proposes to relocate 202 feet of stream to offset the 203 feet of permanent stream loss. NCDOT
proposes that this onsite mitigation serve as full and complete mitigation for the unavoidable
permanent stream impacts associated with the Pender 144 Bridge replacement project.
5.0 Mitigation Work Plan
The.mitigation site would be constructed in conjunction with the construction of the Pender Bridge 144
replacement project. The stream relocation would be accomplished by excavating the existing uplands
as well as the wetland tie in area both as previously described and also depicted on the attached permit
drawings. Target channel bottom elevations, channel bottom widths, and floodplain widths for the
constructed stream relocation portion have been established based on field observations and survey
information. There is a document entitled Stream Relocation Information Sheet included in the permit
application package which provides information in regard to the referenced targets. Also, this target
information can be seen on the permit drawings; please see detail B on Permit Drawings 2, 3, and EC -4A
as well as the cross section permit drawings for more info. These targets would be achieved as part of
the construction process of the Pender 144 Bridge replacement project. The 135 foot long constructed
stream section as previously described would be matted with coir fiber matting and seeded with a
native riparian seed mixture to provide short term as well as long term stabilization of the constructed
stream section. Also the disturbed wetland area in the near vicinity of the down gradient tie in point
would also be seeded with this native riparian seed mixture. Seed of a temporary nature such as rye
grain or millet may be incorporated into the seed mixture to help ensure quick stabilization of the area.
Please note that the road fill area even in the vicinity of this relocated stream section would be seeded
with a typical road shoulder mixture to near the water's edge on the road side of the unnamed
tributary. Upon achievement of stabilization via the coir fiber matting and successful vegetative cover,
and with agency approval, the stream would be turned into the newly constructed channel portion. The
anticipation is that the water would naturally cut through the wetlands area from approximately station
12 +00 LT to Station 12 +67 LT to the discharge point with Colly Creek thereby creating the final 67 feet of
the relocated stream. At the appropriate, planting season, the stream bank opposite the road fill as well
as the floodplain bench area would be stabilized by use of live staking depicted as TYPE 1 on the Permit
Drawing SRF -1; this would consist of live stakes of black willow (Salix nigra) and silky dogwood (Cornus
amomum). The remaining slope from the floodplain bench up to the slope stake line and far top of bank
area would be planted with the TYPE 2 planting as shown on Permit Drawing SRF -1; this planting would
consist of a near equal mix of laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia), bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), and
tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera). Please note that the Permit Drawing SRF -1 does not show a
floodplain bench area, however, the floodplain bench area would be treated with the TYPE 1 planting
while the slope from flood plain bench to slope stake line and beyond would be treated with TYPE 2
planting as described above.
The NCDOT Division 3 Environmental Office shall be contacted to provide construction assistance to
ensure that the mitigation areas are constructed appropriately. An as -built report will be submitted
within 60 days of completion of the project.
6.0 Performance Standards
The NCDOT Division 3 Environmental Office shall be contacted prior to and during construction to
provide oversight and ensure that the site is graded to match the target channel bottom elevations,
channel bottom widths, and floodplain widths. Be that as it may, considerable design effort supported
by field observations and surveyed data has already been invested in said targets as shown on the
permit drawings. Achievement of these targets shall suffice for success for the structure of the stream
channel and floodplain areas. Also, the NCDOT Division 3 Environmental Office shall ensure that the site
is planted as per the plan discussed herein.
Success for vegetation monitoring within the stream relocation area is based on the survival of planted
woody vegetation and coverage of seeded herbaceous vegetation.
Upon successful completion of construction, the following monitoring strategies are proposed for the
mitigation site. NCDOT will document monitoring activities on the site in an annual report distributed to
the regulatory agencies.
FEB 2 8 2014
• DCM MHDCT%"I<I
7.0 Monitoring Requirements
The target elevations, channel widths, and .floodplain widths will be verified as part of the construction
process. The vegetation shall be planted as proposed.
NCDOT shall monitor the relocation area by visual observation and photo points for vegetation survival.
NCDOT shall monitor the site for a minimum of three years or until the site is deemed successful.
Monitoring will be initiated upon completion of the site planting.
8.0 Other Information
None
9.0 Determination of Credits
Based on discussions with the agencies and per the NCDOT plans and per the NCDCM and 401/404
permit applications for the Pender Bridge 144 replacement project, NCDOT proposes to relocate on site
202 linear feet of the unnamed tributary to Colly Creek. This represents an onsite ratio of 1:1
(mitigated:impacted) for the perennial UT. NCDOT proposes that this onsite mitigation serve as full and
complete mitigation for the unavoidable permanent stream impacts of 213 linear feet (of which 203 feet
are permanent stream loss as previously described).
An as -built report would be submitted within 60 days of completion of the mitigation site to verify
actual mitigation areas constructed and planted. The success of the mitigation areas and determination
of final credits would be based upon successful completion and closeout of the monitoring period.
9.1 Credit Release Schedule
NCDOT proposes immediate, full release of the proposed mitigation as on -site mitigation for
unavoidable permanent stream impacts associated with the Pender Bridge 144 replacement project.
10.0 Geographic Service Area
The proposed Geographic Service Area (GSA) for the mitigation area is composed of the 8 -digit
Hydrologic Cataloging Unit (HUC) 03030006.
11.0 Maintenance Plan
The site as described herein will be held by NCDOT and placed on the NES mitigation geodatabase.
Once monitoring is completed and the site is-closed out, it would be placed in the NCDOT Stewardship
Program for long term maintenance and protection.
If an appropriate third party recipient is identified in the future, then the transfer of the property will
include a conservation easement or other measure to protect the natural features and mitigation value
of the site in perpetuity.
S FEB 2 8 2014
DcM -mim efty
12.0 Long Term Adaptive Management Plan
The site will be managed by the NCDOT according to the mitigation plan. Encroachments into the area
will be investigated and appropriate measures taken to minimize any negative effects. In the event that
unforeseen issues arise that affect the management of the site, any remediation will be addressed by
NCDOT in coordination with the appropriate regulatory agencies.
13.0 Financial Assurances
NCDOT is held by permit conditions associated with the Pender 144 Bridge Replacement Project to
preserve the mitigation site. NCDOT has established funds for each project and within each Division to
monitor the'-mitigation site and to protect it in perpetuity.

(Rocky River) in Chatham County and Structure Numbers 620059 (McLendons Creek) and
620090 (Gavin Creels) " "in Moore,County. Structure Number.18'014i is of particular - concern"
since itis located,a`few miles upstream of designatedcritical habitat for the Cape Fear shiner.
There are tentative plans to au"gmentthe Cape Fear shiner population in the RockyRiver in order
to aid the recovery of the species: - Although this, augmentation would occur downstream in the
designated critical habitat, it is expected that Cabe Fear shiners would utilize available habitat
upstream at and near the location of Structure Number 180141. As another effort at recoverin
the species, there isthe potential that'a dam removal upstream of Structure Number 180141 may'
occur in the future;�thus opening up add "itiorial habitat;for Cape Fear shiners. The Service would
like to attend the scheduled field scoping ineetings for Structure Numbers 180141 and,620059

Ge'neral Comm nts
The Service "recommends the following general conservation measures to avoid or minimize: .
environmental - impacts, to fish and wildlife'resources:
etland;',forest and designated npari_ an'bufPei impacts should be avoided'and minimized
to the -am extent practical '
2. If unavoida$le'wetland or stream impact s'are,proposed,,a plan for. compensatory
rimiti'gation' to offset unavoidable impacts; should bye provided -early in the`plariiimg
process; ;

5. New bridge_ s should•be long enough to allow for sufficient wildlife passage along'str' eam

Best Managei`rieint Practices (BMP) for Construction and Maintenance Activities'' hould
be implemented; .
7: .Bridge designs" should, include provisions for'- roadbed and deck drainage to flow through

Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
A map review and site file search was conducted at the ,Office of State Archaeology;(OSA) on Thursday, September,
1, and Friday, September -2, 2611. A comprehensive archaeological survey at this particular bridge location has
never been conducted; however, Ave (5) archaeological sites have been recorded with- in;one (1) "mile °of the 'proposed ;
project although four (4),of those sites are "submerged resources along banks of the Black River..Th6'other•'
remaimng,'archaeological site is located directly north of the proposed project on th'e upland terrace above Colly
Creek: Digital copies- of HPO's inaps_(Point Caswell Quadrangle) 'as .well as the BPOWEB GIS Service
(http: / /gis.ncdcr:gov/hpowebn were reviewed on ThWr d4,' September. l5; 201,1. ,There are no known historic
architectural 'resources located within the `pr'oject area;thaf'may have intact archaeolo'gical'deposits within the "
footprint of the "proposed' project: In addition, topographic- maps, hi sioiic�maps,(&&I ps,website) ITSDA'soil
survey maps; and aerialpfiotographs were'utilized and inspected to'gauge environmental factor's thaf may have
contributed to historic or prehistoric, settleinenf within the project limits, ,and• to assess the.level of modern; slope,
agricultural; hydrological, and other erosive-type disturbances within' and surrounding the archaeological APE.'
Asstaied in the Survey Required Form for this project, "Based, on soils information;, contours; and,tTie presence, of an
a`rchaeological'site on the terrace overlooking Colly Creek on the North side'the south ern` terrace 'of Colly, Creek ;
may have the potent tial for containing intact archaeological materials.. Alth61igh th r ;. y' g" r this
ere currentl` is no desi n fo
wt - particular p`roject,' areas `within the APE can lie written "off based.on the presence of wetlands and inhospitable soils
conditions:' th these area's - removed from the APE, what remains to be surveyed is`the terrace,al -ng the southern •

ry, 1 Map..It should also be noted that M6ores ;Creek National Military Park- commemorating the battle site
of a 1776 American- victory over Tory Highland' Scots; is located approximately 3 miles 'Northeast ofthe proposed
project; ';Therefore; an archaeological survey is recommended •for this project.. A;visual inspection of the entire
corridor'sliould be coriducted,first, followed then by archaeological investigations along the soutii'err terrace,
S
overlooking Colly Creek paralleling - SR •1102:, Should the'description oft , s project or, design plans change prior to
co "nstruction; then additional consultation regarding arcnaeology'may be required:"
>. .
Field investigations of the APE were'comppsse _ of a pedestrian survey and subsurface'testing'to locate and assess
potentiahy significant archaeological 'remains that could be`damaged,or d'e'stroyed by the'proposed bri dge '
re lace'ment "ro'ect.; •The 'edestrian surve `;and;sub'surface',testing were.coriducted on the;terraces'adjacent to Bridge' '

No remains of riiill structure "s or other associated' mill.deposits'were'ob'served North of the projectarea: '

thin the ROW,
there, is'a buried fiber optic line located aboutnirie+feet off the edge of pavement within both the NE' and SE
quadrants: There is a small unnariied tributary of Colly Creekiinn;ng parallel to SR 1 "iii the, SW quadrant; the

qL j gr g.; There is,a difference of at least 10' in'elevatiori between the levels
of the road; surface and both'southern'quadrants. Overall; no,archae'ological deposits were identified within the
proposed APE: Thus, no, archaeological -sites were identified; and'no fiurtler archaeological work- is,recommended
prior to`construction.' A_findirlg of "no historic properties" is; considered appropriate in association with, this bridge
