Kyle,
As we discussed this morning, the original application stated we would be mitigating for
the coastal wetland component of 0.06 acres ($180,000 per acre) and the remaining
0.09 acres 404 riparian portion would not be. It had been understood that our efforts
with the 2:1 side slopes in wetlands, the longer bridge design, restoring 0.02 acres of
floodplain, moving storm water away from the creek and going from 14 bents to 3
interior bents would be considered as a mitigation effort under NW 3- 23 (b) and the
overall adverse effect of the project could be considered minimal. Our federal design
standards for roadway approaches, bridge width, slopes, drainage, etc. often go througr
design criteria exception, in order to get the project to a minimal impact. Our engineers
have to approve those exceptions, based on a balance of safety, environmental and
structural concerns. As you can imagine Paul and I's ability to convince them to consider
the environment over other factors is a delicate balance and the incentive provided for
in section 23 (b) has been a part of that conversation on the permitting side.
That said, I have updated the PCN and included the letter from DMS, which includes
0.06 acres of Coastal wetland mitigation and 0.09 acres of riparian wetland, totaling the
0.15 acres of mitigation. This information is attached. If you need anything else, please
let me know. This project is scheduled to be let towards the end of September.
Thanks,

Clay,

After reviewing the information submitted for this project I have determined that the
PCN received on application is incomplete. Please provide additional information for the
following items:
1- Rutman Creek at this location is Section 10 Waters. Please modify the PCN application
to indicate this is a Section 10 request.
2- As indicated in Condition #23(c) of the Nationwide Permit (NWP) 3 wetland losses
that exceed 0.10 acres will require mitigation at a ratio no less than one-to-one. Please
provide information as to how the permanent impacts to 0.15 acres of riparian wetlands
will be mitigated.
3- Section C(2)(g) of the PCN indicates that the total impacts to wetlands will be 0.26
acres. After tallying the combined impacts the total equates 0.266. Please make this
modification to the PCN.
Once you have made the changes please submit the information for further processing.
If you have any questions you can contact me at the number below or by email.

Subject: Request for a NW 3& 12 404 permit, 401 and Buffer certification for the
replacement of Bridge # 8(B-5602) over Burgess Mill Creek (Rutman Creek) on US 264
in Hyde County.
WBS # 17BP.1.R.82
Dear Mr. Barnes,
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is requesting the issuance of a
NW 3& 12 Permit, corresponding DWR 401 certifications and Tar-Pam buffer
authorization for the replacement of Bridge #� over Burgess Mill Creek on US 264. The
bridge is located over Mill Creek (Rutman Creek), which drains to the Pungo River
approximately 1.5 mile downstream. Mill Creek carries the division of water resources
classification of SC, NSW. The NCWRC and NCDMF provided comments on any
potential in-water work moratoriums, regarding fishery related activity. No in-water work
moratoriums will be required. This region of Hyde County is within the Tar-Pamlico
River Basin. The Division of Water Resources considers Mill Creek, subject to the DWR
buffer rules, buffer zones have been identified within the project area. The bridge design
has accounted for avoidance and minimization efforts for wetland and buffer impacts,
which are described in the PCN and illustrated in the provided permit drawings. Bridge #
08 was built in 1955, and consists of a 175' long X 30' wide, 14-span steel girder on
timber piles and cap structure with an asphalt wearing surface and concrete bridge rails.
This structure will be entirely removed using NCDOT's BMP's and guidelines for bridge
removal. The proposed bridge will be replaced on its existing alignment. The new bridge
will be a 4-span structure totaling, 210' in length by 33' wide. It will be comprised of a
precast concrete deck and substructure.
Jurisdictional wetland and surface water impacts have been avoided and
minimized to the maximum extent practicable. This effort is detailed in the PCN
1]3 Airport Dr., Suite 100, Edenton, NC 27932 — Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone]

avoidance and minimization section. The resulting permanent coastal wetland impact
associated with roadway shoulder fill and riprap dissipater pad (site 3) are 0.06 acres
(2613 sq. ft.). Impacts of 0.09 acres of 404 wetlands (site 1, 2& 4) are associated with the
roadway shoulder fill. The coastal wetland component (0.06 acres) of this project and the
404 riparian wetland (0.09), has been mitigated for, through the division of mitigation
services. The mitigation acceptance letter has been included with this request. Surface
water impacts are 0.02 acres, resulting from slope stabilization along the roadside
drainage feature on the southwest quadrant.
Tar-Pamlico Buffer Impacts are associated with the roadway bridge approach
widening and bridge structure. These are considered allowable impacts for stream
crossings and total 859 sq. feet in Zone 1 and 1582 sq. feet in Zone 2. The impacts are
detailed on the provided permit drawings.
There will be no deck drains located on the bridge. Traffic will be detoured off-
site and there will be no impacts associated with the detour route.
Included with this letter are the location map, permit drawings, and PCN form. If
you have questions please call me at [phone] or 252-312-3692. The permit fee can
be charged to WBS # 45557.1.1.

bridge with a new 4- span bridge structure ��,�e�suring 210 ft. X. 33 ft. Upon cornpletion of the structure, NCDOT will have to rebuild the roadway
approaches on either end c>f the bridg�. This �.vil! involve sorn2 iY�inor ti�irJ�rin�; c�f thr roadway bridge approaches and some bank stabilization
along the roadway shoulder canal/dilch.
This will be done with top down construction utiliz.ing anrl of'r-site traffic r�etour. Therz will be no deck drains located on the new bridge. The
existing bridge will be removed in its entirety, by followir;� NCCO'i BMP� and guidelines for brid,�e removal. 7he bridge approach roadway
sections will have to be slightly widened and iricreased in elevation to match the new bridge sti�ucture design. The bridge replacement will require
the relocation of a Hyde county water line, Century Lirl< cammunication line, ancl temporary relocation of a Hydeland EMC powerline (2 power
poles). The water line will be relocated by a 6orin� op�ratior. There •v�ill be i�o irripacts associated with the water line, it is proposed to go from
high ground to high ground. 7he temporary power pole relocation will invol�re �pproximately 4U sq. ft. of hand clearing in the wetland to place the

Subject: Mitigalion Acceptance Letter:
D[vision 1 Proaect, TIP B-5602, Replace Bridge 8 on US 264 �ver Rutman Creek, Hyde County; WBS
Element 45557.1.1
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) will provide the
riparian wetland and coastal marsh mitigation for the subject project Based on the informatian received from you
on August 31, 2017, the impacts are located in CU 03020104 af the Tar-Pamlico River basin in the Northern �uter
Coastal Plain (NOCP) Eco-Region, and are as follows:

to be tn[d�ate�d at a 1:1 mitigation ratio. 5ee permit application for deqils.
This impact and associated mitigation need were under projected by the NCDOT in the 2017 impact data.
DMS w(11 commit to implement sufficient riparian wetland and coastal marsh mitigation credits to offset the impacts
associated with this project as determined by the regulatory agencies using the delivery timeline listed in Section
F.3.c.ui of the In-Lieu Fee Instrument dated ]uly 28, 201d. If the ahove referenced impact amounts are revised, then
this mitigation acceptance letter will no longer be �alid and a new mitigation acceptance letter will be required from
DMS.
If you have any questions or need addirional information, please contact Ms. Beth Harmon at 919-707-8420.
