The existing triple-span, 18' L X 21' W, timber deck on timber joists, supported by timber caps timber piles with timber bulkheads is structurally deficient and will be replaced with a new 70' L X 36' W, single span, cored slab bridge at the same location. An off- site detour will be utilized during construction. There are wetlands located within the entire project area, however, disturbance has been minimized where possible, limited to 0.02 acres of proposed fill, <0.01 acres of excavation and 0.29 acres of hand clearing. NCDOT proposes fill slopes at 2:1 to further minimize the wetland impacts for the project. There are no stream impacts proposed for this project and no deck drains proposed on this bridge. The project drainage system consists of an inlet pipe system on the northwest side. Discharge from this pipe outlet will be attenuated on a riprap pad located outside the riparian buffer areas and will be diffused by existing topographic conditions before flowing to the riparian �-�"�''T�*1o�hia�g [�r�n�)�ar�s��'=�_� State of North Carolina � Environmental Qualiry 1617 Mail Service Center � Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 N� . . � � � ��� ��� � � � � � � �� ��� �,w�� , � � buffer. The ditch in the southwest quadrant will be retained and lined with toe protection at the fill slope, the outlet diffuse before entering the buffer and wetland. There are no ditches in the north and southeast quadrants and the roadway is in a�11 section, therefore the runoff will sheet flow off the pavement through the grassed shoulder. There are utility relocations proposed with this bridge replacement and the plans are included. Any associated impacts are within the proposed bridge replacement project footprint. Proposed Riparian Buffer impacts include 4,414 square feet in Zone 1 and 1,447 square feet in Zone 2 to accommodate the bridge. Of these riparian impacts, 4,107 square feet in Zone 1 and 1,108 in Zone 2 are also wetland area. On June 28, 2016, Bob Lepsic with Arcadis surveyed for the Small whorled pogonia within the project boundaries. There were no specimens found, however potential habitat was present; further, there are no occurrences of this species with 1.0 mile per NCNHP. Therefore, the Biological Conclusion for Small whorled pogonia is No Effect; Habitat Present. The Bald Eagle is protected in every county in North Carolina under the Bald and Gold Eagle Protection Act; however, no suitable feeding/water source is located within one mile of the project study area to support Bald Eagle habitat. Also, Mr. Gary Jordan (USFWS) recently released the Programmatic Conference Opinion (PCO) for the recently listed Northern Long Eared Bat (NLEB). This opinion, states in part, that "... it is the Service's conference opinion that NCDOT activities in eastern North Carolina (Divisions 1-8), as proposed, are not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the NLEB.
