D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Temporary stream impacts are unavoidable with a culverted stream crossing, but they can be minimized by 1) adhering to accepted design and
construction standard practices (NCDEQ or NCDOT), 2) providing strict contractor oversight, and 3) utilizing conservation -based, in -stream best
management practices to minimize bank disturbance and restore the stream bed and banks using natural materials and riparian vegetation
lb Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
Measures taken include 1) relying on NCDEQ Practice Standard 6.70 (or NCDOT Standard Drawing 1645 01), which limits in -stream fill to
dimensionally and chemically stable quarried stone, 2) avoiding any excavation of stream banks by designing for fill and culvert placement within the
existing channel to the tops of banks (followed by clean removal upon abandonment), 3) cutting trees on banks flush with the ground and leaving
stumps intact, 4) utilizing sediment controls on floodplains adjacent to the crossing, and 5) restoring the banks with natural rock and woody vegetation

Practice Standards and Specifications
Definition Abridge, ford or temporary structure installed across a stream or watercourse
for short-term use by construction vehicles or heavy equipment.
Purpose To provide a means for construction vehicles to cross streams or watercourses
without moving sediment into streams, damaging the streambed or channel,
or causing flooding.
Conditions Where Where heavy equipment must be moved from one side of a stream channel
Practice Applies to another, or where light-duty construction vehicles must cross the stream
channel frequently for a short period of time.
Planning Careful planning can minimize the need for stream crossings Try to avoid
Considerations crossing streams. Whenever possible, complete the development separately
on each side and leave a natural buffer zone along the stream. Temporary
stream crossings can be a direct source of water pollution; they may create
flooding and safety hazards; they can be expensive to construct; and they can
cause costly construction delays if washed out.
Both fords and culverts may involve placing fill in an intermittent orperiennial
stream or wetland. The need for permits from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers or the N. C. Division of Water Quality should be determined when
planning the project.
Select locations for stream crossings where erosion potential is low. Evaluate
stream channel conditions, overflow areas, and surface runoff control at the
site before choosing the type of crossing. When practical, locate and design
temporary stream crossings to serve as permanent crossings to keep stream
disturbance to a minimum.
Plan stream crossings in advance of need and, when possible, construct them
during dry periods to minimize stream disturbance and reduce cost. Ensure
that all necessary materials and equipment are on-site before any work is
begun. Complete construction in an expedient manner, and stabilize the area
immediately.
Often stream crossings are provided in conjunction with operations in a
natural watercourse. Land disturbing activity in connection with construction
in, on, over, or under a lake or natural watercourse shall minimize the extent
and duration of disruption of the stream channel. Where relocation of a
stream forms an essential part of the proposed activity, the relocation shall
minimize unnecessary changes in the stream flow characteristics. Pumping
or diverting stream flow around a work area is often the best way to minimize
the disruption of the stream channel. Any diversions should be stabilized with
adequate geotextile fabric or stone.
After the bypass is completed and stable, the stream may be diverted (Practice
6.15, Riprap). Small stream flows may be diverted around work areas with a
coffer dam and pump instead of construction of a bypass channel.
Rev. 6/06
6.70.1

Unlike permanent stream crossings, temporary stream crossings may be al-
lowed to overtop during peak storm periods. However, the structure and ap-
proaches should remain stable. Keep any fill needed in flood plains to a mini-
mum to prevent upstream flooding and reduce erosion potential. Use riprap to
protect locations subject to erosion from overflow.
If permanent utility crossings are planned, stream crossings may be located at
these locations to minimize stream impacts.
Stream crossings are of the three general types: bridges, culverts, and fords.
Consider which method best suits the specific site conditions.
Bridges—Where available materials and designs are adequate to bear the ex-
pected loadings, bridges are preferred for temporary stream crossing.
Bridges usually cause the least disturbance to the stream bed, banks, and sur-
rounding area. They provide the least obstruction to flow and fish migra-
tion. They generally require little maintenance, can be designed to fit most
site conditions, and can be easily removed and materials salvaged. However,
bridges are generally the most expensive to design and construct. Further,
they may offer the greatest safety hazard if not adequately designed, installed,
and maintained, and if washed out, they cause a longer construction delay and
are more costly to repair.
In steep watersheds it is recommended to tie a cable or chain to one corner of
the bridge frame with the other end secured to a large tree or other substantial
object. This will prevent flood flows from carrying the bridge downstream
where it may cause damage to other property.
Culvert crossings—Culverts are the most common stream crossings. In many
cases, they are the least costly to install, can safely support heavy loads, and
are adaptable to most site conditions. Construction materials are readily avail-
able and can be salvaged. However, the installation and removal of culverts
causes considerable disturbance to the stream and surrounding area. Culverts
also offer the greatest obstruction to flood flows and are subject, therefore,
to blockage and washout. Clean stone should be used for back fill around
culverts
Culverts should be used when vehicles will make repeated trips across the
stream during construction, or track mud into the stream.
Fords—Fords, made of stabilization material such as rock, are often used in
steep areas subject to flash flooding, where normal flow is shallow (less than
3 inches deep) or intermittent. Fords should only be used where crossings are
infrequent. Fords are especially adapted for crossing wide, shallow water-
courses (Figure 6.70a).
6.70.2
Rev. 6106

Practice Standards -and Specifications
When properly installed, fords offer little or no obstruction to flow, can safely
handle heavy loadings, are relatively easy to install and maintain, and in most
cases, may be left in place at the end of the construction.
Problems associated with fords include the following-
1, Approach sections,are, subject to ;erosion' Generally, do, not use fords
where the bank height exceeds 5 feet.
2. Excavation for the installation of the riprap-gravel bottom and filter
material causes major stream disturbance. In some cases, fords may be
adequately constructed by shallow filling without excavation.'
3.1 The stabilizing material is subject to washing out_during storm flows and
may require replacement.
4. -Mud and other contaminants are brought. directly into the stream on
vehicles unless crossings are limited to no flow conditions.

Practice Standards and Specifications
Permitting requirements from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the NC
Division of Water Quality should be determined for stream crossings. Permit
conditions may require that pipes be buried below stream bottom elevation.
Small stream flows may be diverted around work areas with a cofferdam and
pump instead of construction of a bypass channel.
If permanent utility crossings are planned, stream crossings may be located at
these locations to minimize stream impacts.
Design Criteria In addition to erosion and sedimentation control, structural stability, utility,
and safety must also be taken into consideration when designing temporary
stream crossings. Bridge designs, in particular, should be undertaken by a
qualified engineer.
• The anticipated life of a temporary stream crossing structure is usually
considered to be 1 year or less. Remove the structure immediately after it
is no longer needed.
As a minimum, design the structure to pass bankfull flow or peak flow,
whichever is less, from a 2 -year peak storm, without over topping. Ensure
that no erosion will result from the 10 -year peak storm.
• Ensure that design flow velocity at the outlet of the crossing structure
is non-erosive for the receiving stream channel (References: Outlet
Protection).
• Consider overflow for storms larger than the design storm, and provide a
protected overflow area.
• Design erosion control practices associated with the stream crossing to
control erosion from surface runoff at the crossing and during a 10 -year
peak storm runoff.
Construction 1. Keep clearing and excavation of the stream banks and bed and approach
Specifications sections to a minimum.
2. Divert all surface water from the construction site onto undisturbed areas
adjoining the stream.
3. Keep stream crossings at right angles to the stream flow.
4. Align road approaches with the center line of the crossing for a minimum
distance of 30 feet. Raise bridge abutments and culvert fills a minimum of 1
foot above the adjoining approach sections to prevent erosion from surface
runoff and to allow flood flows to pass around the structure.
5. Stabilize all disturbed areas subject to flowing water, including planned
overflow areas, with riprap or other suitable means if design velocity exceeds
the allowable for the in-place soil (Table 8.05a, Appendix 8 05).
6. Ensure that bypass channels necessary to dewater the crossing site are
stable before diverting the stream. Upon completion of the crossing, fill,
compact, and stabilize the bypass channel appropriately.
7. Remove temporary stream crossings immediately when they are no longer
needed. Restore the stream channel to its original cross-section, and smooth
and appropriately stabilize all disturbed areas.
8. Any in -stream sediment control measures must be removed upon
stabilization of the area.
