Alamance County Br# 000151
SR 2307
Staley Store Road
Over Greenbriar Creek

The project consists of replacing 31 foot long Structurally Deficient Bridge that has a Sufficiency Rating
of 20.7 in Alamance County. The current structure was constructed primarily with timbers in 1955.
Timber structures typically have a life span of 50 years and this structure is 59 years old and has reached
the end of its life cycle.
The proposed structure consists of a precast single span of 27 feet by 6 feet high bottomless culvert.
This structure meets the hydrological requirements of the drainage area without significantly altering
the FEMA Flood studies. The use of this type of precast structure will reduce the construction time from
120 days to 90 days as compared to that of a bridge. Precast culverts have lower construction and
maintenance cost over the life cycle of the structure as compared to a bridge. When site conditions
allow a bottomless culvert is the preferred structure of choice due to the lower overall cost and
minimum construction time while still maintaining the integrity of the stream bed. Current budget
constraints require us to take the most economical option that meets environmental and safety
concerns.
Typically the length of a bridge will be much longer than that of a culvert. Increasing the bridge length
creates several issues that must be overcome. If a bridge is utilized there must be at least four feet of
clearance under the bridge to allow access for maintenance workers at the abutment. In areas where
culverts are recommended this requires us to raise the roadway grade which also increases the impacts
due to the increased fill slopes. Raising the roadway grade also affects the FEMA Flood Plain Mapping.
In turn we cannot meet the requirements of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with FEMA. If the
new bridge cannot be sized to meet the requirements of an MOA then map revisions need to be
performed for FEMA. First through a CLOMR (Conditional Letter of Map Revision) then a LOMR (Letter
Of Map Revision). NCDOT works very hard to make sure the replacement structure meets the
requirements of the MOA. Smaller streams in the Piedmont area are often best suited for culverts to
minimize raising the roadway grade.

SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
Review of HPO quad maps, HPO GIS information, historic designations roster, and indexes was
undertaken on June 19, 2012. Based on this review, there are no existing NR, SL, LD, DE, or SS
properties in the Area of Potential Effects, which is 75' from each side of the centerline and 300' from
each end of the bridge. Based on Alamance County GIS/Tax information, there are no structures over
fifty years of age within the APE. A one-and-half story frame outbuilding is located on the east side of
the bridge 155' from the end and 16' south of the road. The outbuilding is located on a parcel containing
a c. 1992 house (PIN 8756465509) and appears to be less than fifty years of age. The structure is not
National Register eligible. There are no National Register Eligible or Listed properties within the APE,
and no survey is required. In addition, Bridge No. 151 is not NR eligible based on the NCDOT Historic
Bridge Inventory. If design plans change, additional review will be required.
Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting
that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE.•
HPO quad maps and GIS information recording NR, SL, LD, DE, and SS properties for the Alamance
County survey, Alamance County GIS/Tax information and Google Maps Street View are considered
valid for the purposes of determining the likelihood of historic resources being present. There are no
National Register listed or eligible properties within the APE and no survey is required.

Project Description: Replace Bridge #151 over Greenbriar Creek on SR2307 (Staley Store Rd) in
Alamance County, North Carolina. The bridge will be replaced along the existing alignment with an
off-site detour utilized during construction activities. Minor ditch-line impacts are anticipated. The
archaeological Area ofPotential Effects (APE) for the project measures 600ft. in length (300ft. from
each bridge endpoint) by 150ft. in width (75ft. laterally from each side ofthe SR23 0 7 center-line.
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Briefdescription ofreview activities, results ofreview, and conclusions:
A map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on Thursday, June 21,
2012. This work revealed the location of several previously recorded archaeological sites a couple of miles
northwest of the project area. Documented during survey for the proposed Liberty, NC wastewater facility site
(Cooper & Cooper 1981), a total of ten prehistoric sites and 1 historic site (log cabin) were recorded. The aboriginal
components consisted of both formal and informal tools, utilized and waste flakes, exhausted stone cores, and in
one case (31RDSO), a few ceramic sherds. No additional work was required of these eleven (11) sites, though the
report's author suggested possible community interaction (surface collecting for later public display & relocation of
the log cabin) regarding two of the sites. A cross-check of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), State Study
Listed (SL), Locally Designated (LD), Determined Eligible (DE), and Surveyed Site (SS) properties utilizing resources
available on the NCSHPO website determined that none of the above designated properties were located within or
directly proximal to the APE.
Topographic maps, historic maps, USDA soil survey maps (Cd, LbB2, Dde), archaeological/historical reference
materials, and aerial photographs were inspected by the cultural resource specialist to evaluate both
environmental and cultural factors that may have led to prehistoric/historic occupation of the APE. The Google
Street View map application was also used to lend a first-hand, on-ground perspective of the land surfaces within
and surrounding the APE to assess the level of impacts and disturbances that may have resulted in the degradation
or destruction of formerly unknown archaeological deposits within the project construction footprint.
BriefExplanation of whythe available information provides areliable basis for reasonably predicting
that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE:
Currently proposed as an in-place replacement, the project is unlikely to disturb the areas beyond the existing and
disturbed right-of-way. As such, significant and meaningful archaeological deposits eligible for listing on the NRHP
will not be affected by the construction work. The impacted nature of the SR2307 right-of-way, and those areas
bordering or proximal, hold no potential for the recovery of intact archaeological features. No further work is
recommended for this rural, state-funded bridge replacement as proposed.

Dear Mr. Parker:
Subject: EEP Mitigation Acceptance Letter:
Division 7 Project, Replace Bridge 151 over Greenbrier Creek on SR 2307 (Thacker Dairy
Road), Alamance County
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) will provide the
compensatory stream mitigation far the subject project. Based on the information supplied by you on May 30, 2014, the
impacts are located in CU 03030003 of the Cape Fear River basin in the Central Piedmont (CP) Eco-Region, and are as
follows:
Cape Fear Stream Wetlands Buffer (Sq. Ft.)
03030003 Non- Coastal

This impact and associated mitigation need were under projected by the NCDOT in the 2014 impact data. EEP
will commit to implement suffcient compensatory stream mitigation credits to offset the impacts associated with this
project as determined by the regulatory agencies using the delivery timeline listed in Section F.3.c.iii of the N.C.
Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Ecosystem Enhancement Program In-Lieu Fee Instrument dated
July 28, 2010. If the above referenced impact amounts are revised, then this mitigation acceptance letter will no longer
be valid and a new mitigation acceptance letter will be required from EEP.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Beth Harmon at 919-707-8420.
Sincerely,
