PROJECT INFORMATION Project No: County: Pitt WBS No.: 1713P.2.R.60 Document Type: Fed Aid No: Funding: X State ❑ Federal Federal Permit(s): X Yes ❑ No I Permit Typ e (s): NWP 14 Project Description: Replace Bridge No. 208 on SR 1907 (Marvin Taylor Road) over ditch (off -site detour planned; no easements or ROW acquisition). SUMMARY OF HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPES REVIEW DESCRIPTION OFREVIEWACTIVITIES, RESULTS, AND CONCLUSIONS: HPOWeb reviewed on 4 November 2013 and yielded no NR, SL, LD, DE, or SS properties in the Area of Potential Effects (APE). Pitt County current GIS mapping, aerial photography, and tax information indicated an APE of woodland and cultivated fields with resources dating mostly to the 1990s (viewed 4 November 2013). The APE intersects a parcel to the northeast of the existing bridge on which stands a circa 1920 resource, the SS Joseph C. Rasberry, Sr. Log Cabin (PT0219), located approximately 400 feet east of SR 1907 (Marvin Taylor Road), outside the APE and well beyond likely project impact. Constructed in 1963, Bridge No. 208 is neither included in the NCDOT Historic Bridge Survey, nor representative of any distinctive engineering or aesthetic type. Google Maps "Street View" confirmed absence of critical historic structures /landscapes in APE (viewed 4 November 2013). No architectural survey is required for the project as currently defined. WHY THEAVAILABLE INFORMATION PROVIDESA RELIABLE BASIS FOR REASONABLY PREDICTING THAT THEREARE NO UNIDENTIFIED SIGNIFICANT HISTORICARCHITECTURAL OR LANDSCAPE RESOURCES IN THEPROJECTAREA: APE extends 600 feet from each end of the existing bridge (S -N) and 100 feet to either side of the existing SR 1907 (Marvin Taylor Road) center line (W -E) to encompass proposed construction. The county comprehensive architectural survey and related publication, as well as later studies, include no properties in the APE (Scott Power, TheHisWc Architecture ofRttCounty, NathCarolina, Greenville: Pitt County Historical Society, 1991; the Joseph C. Rasberry Log Cabin (P1170219) is discussed on page 285). County GIS /tax materials and other visuals support the absence of significant architectural resources. No National Register - listed properties are located within the APE or along the proposed off -site detour route. Should any design elements of the project change, please notify NCDOT Historic Architecture as additional review may be necessary.

PROJECT INFORMATION Project No: Pitt 208 County: Pitt WBSNo: 17BP.2.R.60 Document: Minimum Criteria Sheet F.A. No: Funding: ® State ❑ Federal Federal Permit Required? ® Yes ❑ No Permit Type: NW 14 Project Description: Replace Bridge 208 over ditch on SR 1907. SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions: A review of the map files at the Office of State Archaeology yielded no results in the vicinity of the proposed project. The project description labels the water course as a ditch, a man -made channel. While the topography suggests a stream, if only intermittent, channeling such a stream is evidence of destruction of the natural water course. Plans call for replacement of the existing bridge with a concrete structure in the same location. There will be no impact beyond the current ROW. Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE: Two items serve to argue against further investigation of this proposed project. First, the current bridge spans a ditch, a man -made waterway, apparently dug into the intermittent stream ,course. Thus, the surrounding terrain has been disturbed from the ditch's excavation. Second, design plans call for replacement in place of the existing bridge and thus no impact to any new location. No further investigation is warranted.

Division Bridge program Manager, NCDOT FROM: Travis Wilson, Highway Project Coordinator Habitat Conservation Program DATE: August 29, 2013 SUBJECT: Division 2 Bridge Replacements Biologists with the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the information provided and have the following preliminary comments on the subject project. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661- 667d). Our standard recommendations for bridge replacement projects of this scope are as follows: 1. We generally prefer spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require work within the stream and do not require stream channel realignment. The horizontal and vertical clearances provided by bridges allows for human and wildlife passage beneath the structure, does not block fish passage, and does not block navigation by canoeists and boaters. 2. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the stream. 3. Live concrete should not be allowed to contact the water in or entering into the stream. 4. If possible, bridge supports (bents) should not be placed in the stream. 5. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, they should be removed back to original ground elevations immediately upon the completion of the project. Disturbed areas should be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and native tree species should be planted with a spacing of not more than 10'x10'. If possible, when using temporary Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries • 1721 Mail Service Center • Raleigh, NC 27699 -1721 Telephone: (919) 707 -0220 • Fax: (919) 707 -0028 Bridge Memo Page 2 August 29, 2013 structures the area should be cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush -hogs, or other mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact, allows the area to revegetate naturally and minimizes disturbed soil. 6. A clear bank (riprap free) area of at least 10 feet should remain on each side of the steam underneath the bridge. 7. In trout waters, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission reviews all U.S. Army Corps of Engineers nationwide and general `404' permits. We have the option of requesting additional measures to protect trout and trout habitat and we can recommend that the project require an individual `404' permit. 8. In streams that contain threatened or endangered species, NCDOT biologist should be notified. Special measures to protect these sensitive species may be required. / NCDOT should also contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for information on requirements of the Endangered Species Act as it relates to the project. 9. In streams that are used by anadromous fish, the NCDOT official policy entitled "Stream Crossing Guidelines for Anadromous Fish Passage (May 12, 1997)" should be followed. 10. Sedimentation and erosion control measures sufficient to protect aquatic resources must be implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities. Structures should be maintained regularly, especially following rainfall events. 11. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long -term erosion control. 12. All work in or adjacent to stream waters should be conducted in a dry work area. Sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, or other diversion structures should be used where possible to prevent excavation in flowing water. 13. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in stream channels in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into streams. 14. Only clean, sediment -free rock should be used as temporary fill (causeways), and should be removed without excessive disturbance of the natural stream bottom when construction is completed. 15. During subsurface investigations, equipment should be inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. If corrugated metal pipe arches, reinforced concrete pipes, or concrete box culverts are used: 1. The culvert must be designed to allow for aquatic life and fish passage. Generally, the culvert or pipe invert should be buried at least 1 foot below the natural streambed (measured from the natural thalweg depth). If multiple barrels are required, barrels other than the base flow barrel(s) should be placed on or near stream bankfull or floodplain bench elevation (similar to Lyonsfield design). These should be Bridge Memo Page 3 August 29, 2013 reconnected to floodplain benches as appropriate. This may be accomplished by utilizing sills on the upstream and downstream ends to restrict or divert flow to the base flow barrel(s). Silled barrels should be filled with sediment so as not to cause noxious or mosquito breeding conditions. Sufficient water depth should be provided in the base flow barrel(s) during low flows to accommodate fish movement. If culverts are longer than 40 -50 linear feet, alternating or notched baffles should be installed in a manner that mimics existing stream pattern. This should enhance aquatic life passage: 1) by depositing sediments in the barrel, 2) by maintaining channel depth and flow regimes, and 3) by providing resting places for fish and other aquatic organisms. In essence, base flow barrel(s) should provide a continuum of water depth and channel width without substantial modifications of velocity. 2. If multiple pipes or cells are used, at least one pipe or box should be designed to remain dry during normal flows to allow for wildlife passage. 3. Culverts or pipes should be situated along the existing channel alignment whenever possible to avoid channel realignment. Widening the stream channel must be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage. 4. Riprap should not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be professionally designed, sized, and installed. In most cases, we prefer the replacement of the existing structure at the same location with road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour should be designed and located to avoid wetland impacts, minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing stream banks. If the structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure should be removed and the approach fills removed from the 100 -year floodplain. Approach fills should be removed down to the natural ground elevation. The area should be stabilized with grass and planted with native tree species. If the area reclaimed was previously wetlands, NCDOT should restore the area to wetlands. If successful, the site may be utilized as mitigation for the subject project or other projects in the watershed.
