Attention: Bill Biddlecome & Gazcy Ward

Subject: NW 3, 401& Buffer certification renewal request associated with bridge # 75 replacement on SR
1159 in Martin County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting the re-issuance of NW # 3 permit
2004 1 1 603 for a bridge replacement in Martin County. This bridge was scheduled to be replaced in 2006,
however do to scheduling conflicts this did not happen. The current permit expired in August of 2006.
Bridge #75 is located on SR 1159 approximately 2 miles Northeast of Robersonville. It spans Ross
Swamp that flows to the Collie Swamp approximately 0.8 miles downstream. The proposed bridge will
measure 92' long X 27 wide', which is 40 feet longer and 5 feet wider than the existing 52'X22' bridge.
As a result of lengthening the bridge, approximately 360 squaze feet (0.008 acres) of existing wetland fill
will be removed and grade restored to wetland elevation. There is also 900 sq. feet of zone 1 buffer impacts
and 15 sq. feet of zone 2 impacts, which are within the allowable limit for road crossings. There will be 240
sq. feet of zone 1 impacts restored when the old road fill is removed and the grade brought down to
surrounding wetland elevation. The renewal PCN, vicinity maps noting impacted areas, and permit
drawings aze included with this letter. If you need any additional information or have any questions
concerning this project, please call me at 252-482-7977.
Sincerely,
Jerry Jennings, P.E.

avoided and minimized b ry outing traffic during construction to an off-site detour. Impacts from
the rip-rap protection are necessary to protect the bridge abutments from washing out during
storm events with high velocity flows. This amount of protection has been minimized to the
extent that protection is not compromised
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina (see DWQ website for most current
version.).
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed..
The project is impacting 60 sq~0.001 acres) of roadside frin>;e wetlands that are often
altered by the roadside maintenance activity of mowing. This 60 sq. ft. is being impacted by
the placement of rip-rap to protect the bridge abutment. In order to off-set these impacts, this
project proposes to lengthen the bridge, which will allow the restoration of 360 sq. ft. (0.008
acres) of wetlands by pulling out old fill and restoring the grade to the adjacent wetland
elevation.

Subject: GP 31 request associated with bridge # 75 replacen;ti:a cr. `~? i 1 `,3 i:: !:^~ tin County.
The North Carolina Department of Transportatic~r. i~, reat~esr.~l a GP ! permit for a bridge
replacement in Martin County. Bridge #75 is located on Si? 1~9 ap~:+oxin~ateiy Z :~~iies \TOrtheast of
Robersonville. It spans Ross Swamp that flows to the C,!!i° swamp ap rorimatey ~J.B miles downstream.
The proposed bridge will measure 92' long X 27 wide', w h;ich is 40 feet longer 'and ~ feet wider than the
existing 52'X22' bridge. As a result of lengthening the brid~,e, approx:nately X60 s ,care feet (0.008 acres)
of existing wetland fill will be removed and grade restored to wetla:~d elevatioe. ?'here is also 900 sq. feet
of zone 1 buffer impacts and 15 sq. feet of zone 2 impacts, whicc are ~r_*hin the aito~~able limit for road
crossings. There will be 240 sq. feet of zone I impacts restored wl.en t;r~ old road fi'_ is removed and the
grade brought down to surrounding wetland elevation. The PCsv, vi: i~.,~~..,13p s nouig impacted areas, and
permit drawings are included with this letter. If you need an;~ ~:ddidonwi :r,„~o:-i::;.i'.io~i :~r have any questions

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the propasee' irr~pacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as tapagtaphy, :wilding ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attavl~ drawings ai' alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options ~,~ere r.~t fF~asiitl~~--. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. if appli;able, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce i.~~pacts.
Impacts to wetlands have been avoided and minimized by rautin~ traffic during construction
to an off-site detour so an on-site detour is not need?d t at would cause additional wetland
impacts. Impacts are from rip-rap protection that keeps the abutments from washing out during
high water storm events, without these it would ino_~~as~ ti'~~z~tential for damage and
maintenance to the abutments.

Dear Mr. Roper:
Re: Proposed bridge No. 75 replacement on SR 1159 in Martin County
Your application fora 401 Water Quality Certification to impact 0.001 acres of wetland and 915 square feet of
protected Tar-Pamlico River Riparian Buffer (900 square feet in Zone 1 and 15 square feet in Zone 2) for the proposed
replacement of bridge No. 75 in Martin County was received in the Division of Water Quality's Central Office on July
23, 2004. According to our rules [15A NCAC 2H .0507 (A)J, if final action is not taken within 60 days, the
Certification is waived unless DWQ has objected in writing to your application. Therefore, DWQ has waived the
requirement fora 401 Water Quality Certification for your plans to impact waters as described in your July 20, 2004
application materials.
However, if any additional impact, or change to your project occurs, this waiver is no longer valid and a 401 Water
Quality Certification will be required.
Thank you for your comments. If you have any questions, please contact Nicole Thomson at (919) 7153-3415.
