Hair U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington Regulatory Field Office 69 Darlington Avenue Wilmington, NC 28403 Subject: Dear Ms. Hair: Nationwide Permit #3 Replace Bridge No. 230198 over Western Prong Creek on SR 1546 Columbus County, North Carolina WBS No. 17BP.6.R.70 The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge No. 230198 over Western Frong Creek on SR 1546 (Bill Hooks Road) in Columbus County. The structure is to be replaced by a bridge at its existing location. The existing structure is a 53' long, reinforced concrete floor bridge on timber joists. The proposed structure is a 90' long, 3 span cored slab bridge. An off-site detour is proposed. Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Lumber River Basin. The existing bridge crosses Western Prong Creek, a Class C; Sw water. Please find attached the Low/Minimal Lnpact Bridge Project Data Sheet, permit drawings, and associated stormwater management plan. Proposed impacts to Western Prong Creek include 44 linear feet of permanent impact due to bank stabilization and 4 lineaz feet of temporary impact for construction access. Proposed impacts to wetlands include 0.03 acre of permanent fill, 0.07 acre of inechanized clearing, and 0.06 acre of temporary impact. This project was reviewed for the presence of federally threatened and endangered species (see Table 1 on page 2). Surveys will be performed in mid-June for rough-leaved loosestrife and Cooley's meadowrue prior to construction based upon habitat found in the project azea.

The USFWS has developed a programmatic biological opinion (PBO) in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the USACE, and NCDOT for the northern long-eared bat (NLEB) in eastern North Cazolina. The PBO covers the entire NCDOT program in Divisions 1-8, including all NCDOT projects and activities. The programmatic determination for NI,EB for the NCDOT program is "May Affect, Likely to Adversely AffecP'. The PBO provides incidental take coverage for NLEB and will ensure compliance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for five years for all NCDOT projects with a federal nexus in Divisions 1-8, which includes Columbus County, where this project is located. This level of incidental take is authorized from the effective date of a final listing determination through April 30, 2020. Cultural resource compliance work has been completed. No archaeological resources or historic properties fall with the Area of Potentia] Effect of this project. This letter, permit drawings, and the Low/Minimal Impact Bridge Project Data Sheet are our notification for USACE and NCDWR 404/401 approval. If further information is required, please let me know.

The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in this instance and at this time. 2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre-construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This preliminary JD finds that there "may be"waters of the United States on the subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: later iurisdictional determinations.

Annual Avg Daily Traffic (veh/hr/day): Desi n/Future: Year: Existin : 270 Year: 2016 General Project Narrative: The purpose of this project is to replace the structurally deficient bridge on SR 1546 with a new bridge. The existing bridge consists of three spans (1 @17'-10", 1@17'-0", (Description of Minimization of Water 1@17'-8") with a reinforced concrete floor on timberjoists. Interior bents consist of timber caps on timber piles. Abutments are oriented at approximately a 90 degree skew to Quality Impacts) the roadway. The existing bridge utilizes vertical abutments. The replacement bridge will consist of a three span bridge (1@25', 1@30', 1@35') with 2'-6" deep caps and spill through rip rap in front of the abutments. Efforts were made to minimize water quality impacts by containing bridge drainage within the paved shoulder with no deck drains and conveying that water to a grated inlet. A rip rap dissipator pad is provided at the outlet of the proposed system to dissipate energy.
