Please find the attached Cover letter and supplemental information for the above proposed bridge replacement. Also,
please note that this project has become a priority for the Division as the replacement must occur during the summer
due to conflicts with the school buses. Therefore, we are respectfully requesting that you please look at this project
first. Thank you in advance!
Due to PDF sizes, I'll split this email up to make sure it all goes through without crashing anyone's server.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Project Description - The project consists of replacing Bridge #247 over Big Alamance Creek
on SR 3088 (Thacker Dairy Road) and improving roadway approaches The existing three-span,
122' L, steel plank deck on I-beams bridge is structurally deficient and will be replaced with a
new 130' L, triple span, cored slab bridge at the same location. An off-site detour will be utilized
during conshuction. There are no wetlands located wiUiin the project area. This project proposes
only 28 linear feet of permanenY stream impacts for streambank stabilization (i.e. rip rap �mill not
be within the thalweg of the channel) and 30 linear feet of temporary stream impacts associated

with construction activities. There are no deck drains proposed on this bridge. Existing roadside
ditches in the north east and west quadrants as well as the southwest corner are unstable and
eroded. These ditches will be armored within the project area to stabilize them. The project
drainage system consists of a modified concrete flume on the southwest side and a inlet pipe
system on the southeast side. Discharges from tl�ese pipe outlets will be attenuated on riprap pads
located outside the riparian buffer areas and will be difFused by existing topographic conditions
before flowing to the riparian buffer. There are no utility relocations proposed with tl�is bridge
replacement. Proposed Riparian Buffer impacts include 4,073 square feet in Zone 1 and 1,309
square feet in Zone 2 to accommodate the bridge. On May 17, 2016, NCDOT NES unit surveyed
for the Small whorled pogonia within the project boundaries. Habitat exists in the southeast
quadrant of the project, but no specimens were found. Therefore, the Biological Conclusion for
Small whorled pogonia is No Effect ivitTv Habitat. The Bald Eagle is protected in every county in
Nortl� Carolina under the Bald and Gold Eagle Protection Act; however, no suitable feeding/water
source is ]ocated within one mile of the project study area to support Bald Eagle habitat. Also,
Mr. Gaiy Jordan (USFWS) recently released the Programmatic Conference Opinion (PCO) for
the recently listed Noi�thern Long Eared Bat (NLEB). This opinion, states in part, that "... it is the
Service's conference opinion that NCDOT activilies in eastern North Carolina (Divisions 1-8), as
proposed, are not Zikely to jeopardize the conti�sued existence of the NLEB. "
