Division of Coastal Management 400 Commerce Ave. Morehead City, NC 28557 ATTN: Mr. Stephen Lane NCDOT Coordinator J. ERic BOYETE SECRETARY Subject: Application for CAMA Major Development Permit for the Proposed Replacement of Bridge No. 28 over Long Creek on NC210 in Pender County, North Carolina; TIP No. B- 5156; Debit $475 from WBS No. 42331.1.2 Dear Sirs, The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace the existing 170-foot, four -span bridge No. 28 with a 205-foot, four -span bridge on a new alignment, slightly upstream of the current structure. Traffic will be maintained on the existing bridge during construction. There are no impacts to coastal wetlands with this project. Permanent impacts to riparian wetlands managed by the USAC.E total 0.93 acre. Temporary impacts to Long Creek will occur due to the use of a work bridge for construction of the new bridge and removal of the existing structure. The work bridge is designed to match the low chord of the existing bridge. Aerial utilities will be relocated with minor impact to jurisdictional wetlands, due to hand clearing. Existing water lines will remain in place. Please see enclosed copies of the Division of Coastal Management Major Permit Fors land 5, permit drawings, stormwater management plan, utility drawings, and roadway plans for the above referenced project. A Categorical Exclusion (CE) was completed in July 2019 and distributed shortly after. Additional copies are available at the NCDOT website: http://207.4.62.65/PDEA/EnvironmentalDocs/ This project calls for a letting date of September 19, 2023, and a review date of August 1, 2023. The project schedule may be advanced if funding becomes available. Regulatory Approvals CAMA Major Development Permit: NCDOT requests that the proposed work be authorized under a f4W(¢ '.r "Aah: Coastal Area Management Act Major Permit. Adjacent riparian landowner certified mail return receipts will be provided once they are received.
