RE: Reques[ for NWP 3 and NWP 25 for Bridge Preservation
B-5939, Bridge No. 6 over Bogue Sound in Carteret County
Dear Mr. Steffens:
PAT McCRORY

NICHOLAS J. TENNYSON
Secmmry
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting the issuance of a N WP 3 and N WP
25 for maintenance work associated with the placement of 156 pile jackets ancUor encapsulations
on Bridge No. 6(B-5939) over Bogue Sound in Carteret County. The pile jackets and/or
encapsulations will be on average 7 feet long wi[h 3 feet below low tide and 2 feet above high tide.
Some pilejackeUencapsulation locations are shallow {51 piles, highlight in the attached table) and
in those areas the pile jackets will need to extend 3 feet below low tide which puts the base of the
jacket close to or below the mudline. Therefore, the pilejacket will be jetted into the substrate. The
area temporazily impacted will be the width of 1 foot around the base and no deeper than 2 feet.
This will be done using pressurized water hose. Prior to soil displacement a turbidity curtain will
be placed to incase the pi le. The process will result in a maximum area of disturbance totaling 2, ] 45
square feet.
Additional proposed maintenance work includes shotcrete and concrete repairs to substructure
elements, shotcrete repairs to girders and diaphragms, epoxy coating of girder ends, shear
strengthening of girders at location of drop-in span, pre-stressed strand repair to girder reinforcing,
installa[ion of corrosion protection to girders and possibly to low water footings and piles and the
addition of 2 bar metal rail to [op of existing concrete rail. This maintenance project is designed to
reduce the deterioration of the bridge and to probng the life of the existing structure.
This maintenance project will follow applicable conditions of Water Quality Certification #3883.

strand repair ta girder reinforang. Installation of corrosion protection to girders and passibly to low water footings and
piles. Addition of 2 bar metai rail to top of existing cancrete rail. All repairs uviN be conducted in acxardance with NCDOT
Best Management Practices (BMP) for Bridge Demolitian and Removal and bridge maintenance wor�c associated with
concrete repair.
The plan pile repair length is anticipated to average seven feet (three feet below the low t'rde and two feet aba�e high
tide}. Standard BMP protocols wil! be used with the pile jadcets/encapsulation instaflatian, specifically the use af turbidity
curtains when repair activity requires disturbance of #he substrate below the mud battom. Na work wiA be conducted in
nearby wetland areas.
Standard road eonstrue#ian and bridge replacement equipment such as cranes, trucks, boats and similar vehicles will be
used for the project. The pile jackets will be instal4ed potentially utilizing a smafl shallow draft baat. A smali floating
platform may also be utilized adjacent to the pifes for workability and safety. The concrete wili be placed using a gravity-
fed tremie fram the existing bridge deck. Proper erosion and sedirnentation control measures will be employed during all
stages of aonstruciion.

1 b. Specifically describe measures taken ta avaid or minimize the prapased impacts through c:anstructifln techniques.
Constructian methods anci �quipment proposed minimize and ayoid leaving a footprint in en�ironmentally sensitive areas. No
impacts will occur ta nearby wetlands. Pile jackets andlor encapsulations would be employed during construction. Pile jackets
would be jetted into the substrate. No concrete or repair materials would be plaaed below the mudline; the fiberglass pile
jacket would be the only material occupying the space beiaw the mudline. A turbidity curtain shall be used du�ng any bot�om
disturbanae activities that wauld result from instailing pife jackets 6�elow the r�ud line. Construction staging would avoid
impact� !o existing marsh. An in-water woric morator�um will be obs�rved firom April 1�' through September 30�' to minimize
impacts to essential fish habitat. Guidelines For Avoiding Impacts To The West Indian Manatee: Precauiionary

These projects would likely have no effect on federatly threatened or endangered species undee the purview af
the USFWS, with the possible exception ofthe West Indian manatee. However, as long as the GUiDELIfNES

the purview o� the National Marine Fisheries Service when they are ir� the water. The USFWS only
has authority over nesting sea turtles.

Hi Gary,
NCDOT Division 2 is preparing for two bridge preservation projects, B-5938 and B-5939 in Carteret County.
Below is a project description for each project alang with other project details that have been discussed in the
near past. We share ali ofthis in an effort to get you fully in the loop.
B-5938 Carteret 6$ (Atlantic Beach Bridge):
• Shotcrete and concrete repairs to substructure elements.

� Shotcrete repairs to girders and diaphragms.
• LMC (Latex Madified Concrete) deck over�ay and joint replacerrxer�i.
• �paxy coating af girder ends.
• Pile encapsulation, pile wrapping, and for pile jacketing.
� Pre-stres�ed strand r�;pair to girder reinfarcing.
• [nstallation af corrosion protection to girders and possibly to low water foc�tings and piles.
• Replacement of e�cisting light poles alor�g structure.
• Replace the Fender �ystezn
B-5939 Carteret 6(Emeraid Isle High Rise):
� Shotcrete and concrete repairs to substructure elernents
• Shotcrete repairs to girders and diap�ragms
• Epaxy coating of gird�r ends
• Pile encapsulation and pile jacketing,
� Shear str�ngthening of girders at lacation of drop-in span
• Pre-stressed strand repair to girder reinforcing
• Installatian of corrosion protectian to girders and possibly to lovw water footings and piles
• Add�tion af 2 bar metal rail to to�► of existing concrete rail
After internal DOT discussions and an onsit� rneeting to review construction methods and logistics, it was
confirmed that pile jackets wauld be employed d�aring constructian. Attached is a map and list of the piie�
where pile jackets are planned on B-5939. The plan pile repair lengt�t is anticipated to average seven feet {three
feet be�ow the tide line and two feet a�ave high tide}; this may vary slightly for a variety of passible
reasons. In the B-5939 repair locations {figure attached) the piles that are highlighted indicate locations where
the three feet belaw low tic3e may be close ta ar below the mudline. When reading tl�e soundangs on this figure,
note that the water depth is the average ofthe two soundings {upstream and downstream side af the bents). The
preferred methad of installation of the pile jackets could be to jet them into the substrate. No cQncrete or r�pair
rnaterials would be placed below the mudline and the fiberglass pile jacket wou�d be the only materiai
occupyirtg the space below the mudline (esseniiaily a fibergiass tube filled with bottorr� material).

W'rth regards to the proposed fender system on B-59�$, it wili be installed in its current location (see the
existing fender and propased fender locations on the plans attached; please note the plans with the proposed
location are draft plans with certain detaiis subject to changej.
It was also confirmed that construction staging couId avoid impacts to �xisting marsh. Many efforts have be�n
considered in order to avflid ar�d minirnize environmental impacts to the maxinnurn extent practicable.
Considering proposed construction rnethods along with recommendations received fram you, the Division
proposes to move forward as follows and would greatIy appreciate your guidance and �ny additional input you
deem necessary sa that the permit application process is seamless. Belaw are some comments already received
from cnultiple review agencies this year.
B-5438 Carteret 68 (At(antic Beachj
• DCM considers the pxopaseci work as a maintenance and repair of the exisiing structures, therefore
a CAMA permit wil! not be required. However, it was npted that the new/replacement fender systern
must be constructed in the sa�me footprint of the existing fender system and not encroach into the
navigation channel. DCM alsc� nated that BMPS wnuld he required during all stages of cor�struction.
• USACE noted that a PGN wo�ald be required for each bridge and would include a I�PWP 3 and 25,
and Section 10. The USACE nated that EFHlmoratoriunn issues needed to be resolved with NCDIvIF
before issuance.
� Section IO permit
• Ir1CDWR nated that a eorresponding 401 WQC to c4mpliment the USACE 404 shouldn't be an
issu� provided constructian methods followed standard protocfll with pile jacl�ets/encapsulation for
BMP's.
• WRC nated that this area is chara.cterized by higher salinity water primarily supporting species
under the jurisdiction of the NCDMF, therefore WRC deferred to NCDMF and NMFS to address
aquatic impacts.
• Due to the installatic�n of the fender system, NCDMF noted the potential for an April 1-Septernber
30 moratorium based on the mapped SAV adjacent to the project site, In this guidanee suggested fram
NCDMF earlier this year, it was nated that more �pecific information about the extent and duration of
in-water r�vark would be needed for a final determination as to whether ar not a moratorium would
actually be required.
B-S939 Carteret 6(Emerald Isle High Rise)
• DCM cons�ders the proposed work as a maintenance and repair of the existing structures, therefore
a CAIvIA permit will not be required. However, it was noted that the new/replacement fender system
must be construeted in the same footprint af the existing fender system ar�d not encrnach into the
navigatian channel. DCM also noted that BMPS would be required during all stages af construction.

* USACE noted that a PCN would be required for each bridge and wauld include a NWA 3 and 25,
and Section 10. The USACE nated that �FH/moratorium issues needed to be resolved with NCDMF
before issuance.
• NCDWR nt�ted that a corresponding 401 WQC to compliment the USACE 404 shouldn't be an
issue pravided consfiruction methods %llowed standard protocol with pile jackets/encapsulation for
BMP's.
• WRC noted that this area is charact�rized by higher salinity waier primarily support�ng species
under the 1urisdiction of th� NCDMF, thereft�re WRC deferreci to NCDMF �nd NMFS to addcess
aquatic impacts.
• Cflncerns from NCDMF were noted on B�5938 due to the installation of the new fender system but
na concerns were r�oted far B-5939.
Carteret County has several federa�ly �ist threatened and endangered species listed below.
� Green sea turtle
• Hawksbill sea turt�e
• Kemp's ridley sea turtle
• Leatherback sea turtle
• Loggerhead sea turtle
• Piping plover
• Red-cockaded woodpecker
• Red knot
• Roseate tern
• Shartnose sturgeon.
• West Indian manatee
• Rough-leaved Iaosestrife
� �eabeach amaranth

We do not anticipate tk�is project to have an irnpact an any of the listed species. The anticipated let date for
both projects is April 2017 (17Qth projecfi� will be let to the sarne contractflr). Your recc�mrr�endations and input
wcauld be most appreciated if re�eived no later than Monday, �ctober 10, scr the Division can begin preparing
pe►znit applications to meet our aggressiv� schedule. Thanks again for your guidance.

I appreciate your call today regardin� the emaif below. As we discussed, it was noted that NCDOT will
observe a moratarium from April t through September i0 far all in-water work. It �vas also noted that y�u
have received no environmental documentation an the project but throu�;h our conversation it was decided that
existing aerial phatography of the site would suftice in order to identify the app�•oYimate locatian c�f existing
marsh. To cEarify the email belaw, this project will NQ`I' i►1�pact any coastal marsh.
If you have any further need for clarifcation please don't hesitate to contact me. A�ain, 1 a}�preciate your quick

Helta Gentlemen,
NCDQ�T Divi�ion 2 is preparir�g for twa bridge preservatian projects, �-5938 and B-5939 in Carteret Co�nty.
Earlie�r this year, Division touched base with many af you and shared the project descriptiQn for each project as
fallows:
8-5938 Carteret 5$ (Atlantic Beach Bridge):
Shotcrete and concrete repairs to substructure elements.
Shotcrete repairs to girders and diaphragrns.
LMC {Latex Modified Concrete) deck overlay and joint replacement.

• Epoxy coating of girder ends.
• Fiie encapsulatian, pile wrappir�g, and /or pile jacketing.
� Pre-stressed strand repair ta girder reir�forcing.
• Installation of corrosion protection to girders and passibly to low water foatings �nd �iles.
� Replacement of existing light poles atang structure.
• Replace the Fender System
B-5939 Carteret 6(Emerald [sle High Rise}.
� Shatcrete and concrete repairs to �ubstructure elements
• Shotcrete repairs to girders anc� diaphragms
• Epoxy coating of girder ends
• Pile encapsulation and pile jacketing.
• Shear strengtk�ening of girders at location of drop-in span
• Pre-stressed strar►d repair to girder reinforcing
• Installation of corrosian protection to girders and pass�bly to low water faotings and piles
• Addition of 2 bar metal rail to top of existing eoncrete rail
A,fter interr�al DOT discussions and an onsite meeting to review construction methods and logistacs, it was
canfirined that pile jacl�ets would be emplayed during construction. Attached is a map and list of the piles
where pile jackets are plann�d on B-5939. The plan pile repair length is aniicipated to average seven feet (three
feet below the tide line and two feet abave high tide); this rnay vary slightly for a variety vf possible
reasons. In the B-5939 repair iocatians {figure attached) the piles that are highlighted indicat� loeations where
the three feet below law tide may be close to or belaw the mudline. When reading the soundings on this figure,
note that the water depth is the average of the two soundings (upstream and downstream side of the bents}, The
preferred method of installation of the pile jackets could be to jet them into the subs�rate. No concrete ar repair
materials would be placed belaw the mudline and the fiberglass pile jacket would be the on3y material
occupying the space be1Qw the mudline {essentially a fiberglass tube fil(ed with bottom mat�rial).
With regards to the proposed fender system on B-5938, it will �e installed in its current location (see the
existing fend�r and proposed fender lacations on the pians atta�hed; please note the plans with tt�e proposed
locatian are draft plans with certain detaiis subject to change}.

It was also confirmed that construction staging could avoid impacts to existing marsh. Many efforts have been
considered in �rder to avoid and minimize enviranmental impacts ta the maacimurn extent practicable.
Considering proposed construction methods along with rec�mmendations received frorn you, the Division
proposes to mave farward as fQllows and would gseatly apgreciate yaur guidance and any additiana! input you
deem necessary sa that the permit application process Fs seamless.

+ DCM cansiders the pmposed wark as a rr�aintenance and repair of the existing structures, therefore
a CAMA permit will not be required. Hawever, it was noted that the nerv/replacernent fender system
must t�e constructed in the same foaiprint of the existing fender systern and not encroach into the
navigatian channel. DCM also noted that BMPS would be required during all stages of canstreictian.
• USACE r►oted that a PCN would be required far each bridge and wQuld include a NWF 3 and 25,
and Section 10. The USACE noted that EFH/maratorium issues needed to be resolved with NCDMF
before issuance.
Section 10 permit
• NCDWR noted that a cflrrespanding 401 WQC to compliment the USACE 404 shouldn't be an
issue provided construction rnethods fal�owed s�andard prQtocal with pile jacketslencapsulation far
BMP's.
• WRC noted that this area is characterized by higher salinity water primarily supparting species
under the jurisdiction of the NGDMF, therefore WRC deferred to NCDMF and NMFS to address
aqttatic impacts.
• Due to the instailatian af the fender system, NCDMF noted the potential for an April 1-September

B-5939 Carteret 6(Emerald Isle High Rise}
• DCM considers the proposed work as a maintenance and repair of the existing structures, ther�fore
a CAMA pErmit will not be reqnired. However, it was noted that the new/replacement fender system
must be constructed in the same footprint of the existing fender system and nat encroach inta the
navigation channeL DCM also noted that BMPS would be required during all stages af construction.
• llSACE noted that a PGN would be required far each bridge and would include a I'�1WP 3 and 2S,
and Section I0. The USACE nflted that EFH/rnaratorium issues needed to be resolved witki NCDMF
before issuanc�.

• NCDWR noted that � corresponding 401 '4VQC to complirrient the USACE 404 shouidn't be an
issue provid�d construction methods followed standard prr�tocol with pile jackets/encapsulation for
BMP's.
• WRC noted that this area is characterized by higher salinity r�vater primarily supporting species
under the jurisdiction of the I'�1CDMF, therefore WRC deferred to NCDMF arad NM�'S to addrass
aquatic impacts.
+ Concerns from NCDMF wvere noted on B-5938 due to the installatian of the new fender system but
no concerrrs were not�d for B-5939.
The anticipated let date for both projects is April 2017 {bath pro�}ects will be let to the �ame contractQr). Your
recommendations and input would be rriast appreciated if received na later than Monday, OctQber 10, so the

who requested this pre�iminary JD is h�reby advised of his ar her option to
request and abtain an approved jurisdictional determination {JD) far that site.
Nevertheless, the permi# appl�cant or other person wha reques#ed this
preliminary JD has dec�ined to exercise the opt�an to obtain an approved JD in
this Pnstance and �t this time,
2. In any circumstance where a permit appli�ant obtains an individual permit, or
a Natianwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verifica#ian requiring
"pre-construction notification� (PCN), or requests verification far a non-reporting
NWP or otfi�er gsneral permit, and the permit ap�licaRt has not requested an
appm�ed JD far the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of tMe
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to se�k a permit authorization
based an a prelimi�ary JD, which does not make an afficial determinatian of
juriscfictional wa#ers; (2) that the applicant has the optian to request an ap�roved
JD before accepting the terms and oonditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an appro�ed JD couid possibly result in less
compensa#ory mitigatian being required or different special condifions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
#he terms and conditions of the NWP or other ger�eral permit authvrization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit au#harizatian and thereby agree to comply
wii� all the terms and aonditions of that perrrtit, induding whatever mitigation
req�rirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5} tF�at u�dertaking
any activity in reliance upan the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes tF�e appficanYs aoceptance of #he use of the
preliminary JD, bui that either form af JD w�ll be processed as s�aon as is
prac#iaable; (6) acc�epting a�ermit autharization (e.g., signing a pro�fered
individual permit) ar undertaking any ac6vity in reiiance on any form of Co►ps
permit authonzatian based on a�reliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the si#e affected in any way by tt�at acctivity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
suc#i jurisdictian in any administrati�e or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, o� in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7} wh�:#her
the �pplicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JQ, that J�
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
indi�idual permit {and all terms and conditions cantained therein}, ar individual
permit denial can be adrninistrativeiy ap�ealed pursuant ta 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictianal issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2}). I#, during khat administra�ve appeat, it beoomes necessary
to rnake an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction �xrsts over a sife, or
to provide an official de�ineation af jurisdictiona! waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
