The existing dual-span, 18' L X 20' W, timber deck on I-beams, supported by timber caps timber piles with timber bulkheads is structurally deficient and will be replaced with a new 65' L X 32' 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 <0.01 acres of proposed fill, 0.02 acres of inechanized clearing, 46 LF of permanent stream impacts associated with bank stabilization and 25 LF of temporary stream impacts associated with concrete sill removal. NCDOT proposes fill slopes at 2:1 to further minimize the wetland impacts for the project. There are no deck �- �hdotl�i�� mpa�e��.,..

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 buffer. The ditches in the southwest and northwest quadrants 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 fill 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. Proposed Riparian Buffer impacts include 1,836 square feet in Zone 1 and 956 square feet in Zone 2 to accommodate the bridge. 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 NCN�IP. 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 zs the Service's conference opinion that NCDOT activities in eastern North CaYolina (Divisions 1-8), as proposed, at•e not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the NLEB.
