(2) All existing channels must be left undisturbed so as to not block existing
navigation use.
(3) Finished height of the new bridge must maintain or exceed the existing vertical
and horizontal clearances in the navigation channels.
(4) All debris associated with demolition of the existing bridge must be removed
concurrent with completion of the project.

THROUGH: A. Preston Howard, Jr.

SUBJECT: Regional Office Review & Recommendations
Application for Permit for Excavation and/or Fill
N.C. D.O.T. - Bradley Creek Bridge #14
New Hanover County
The applicant proposes to replace an existing bridge on the same
alignment. The project calls for the filling of approximately 200
square feet of intertidal area. The new structure will have a smaller
foot print than the original bridge; therefore the stormwater runoff
should be reduced. The bridge spans Bradley Creek which is currently
classified SA, closed to shellfishing. However, a hearing has been
scheduled for November 17, 1986, to consider reclassifying Bradley
Creek to Class SC. The project has been reviewed using SA criteria.
The project has been reviewed to determine impacts to water quality.
The following comment is offered: That a 401 Certification is
required but should meet the requirements of the General 401
Certification #1734, for Bridge Modifications.

Page 2
9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project site is the location of the existing U.S. 76 crossing of Bradley
Creek. The bridge consists of two doublelane wood piling supported bridges
which touch at the inside medians. The appearance is that of a single four
lane structure. Advanced age and general deterioration of the structure has
resulted in the.need for replacement. There are two navigation channels under
the bridge. One at the north and .one at the south. The creek above the bridge
is classified as a primary nursery area. Final action is pending on the water
classification of the creek. The waters have been labeled both SC and SA in
the recent past.
The applicants propose to replace the bridge in the existing location through
a staged procedure. The new bridge would be approximately 860' in length and
approximately 60' in total width. (The travelway will be 48' wide with four
12' lanes. A 4' median and a 4' shoulder on each side will be provided.) The
total project length will be approximately 1,300'. In order to complete the
bridge approaches it will be necessary to fill an intertidal area of approxi-
mately 40' x 5'. A total of four cubic yards of material will be used.
10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS:
The applicants have indicated that existing navigation heights under the bridge
will be maintained. It will also be necessary to provide the same width spans
at the navigation channels. If the remainder of the project is completed as
proposed there will be no adverse impacts on coastal resources.

Public Notice 5-621
All interested parties are notified that an application has been
received from the North Carolina Department of Transportation,
Division of Highways for approval of the location and plans for a
new replacement bridge over a navigable waterway of the United.
States.
Waterway and Location: Bradley Creek, mile 1.0 on US 76, near
Wilmington, North Carolina.
Character of Work: To construct a new four-lane fixed highway
bridge that will replace the existing four lane fixed highway
bridge.
Minimum Navigation Clearances:
Existing
Horizontal: 19' between
piers askew to the axis
of the channel
Proposed
Horizontal: 431-6" between
piers askew to the axis
of the channel
Vertical: 8' at mean high water,
11' at mean low water
Environmental Considerations:
Vertical: 8' at mean high
water; 12' at mean low water
The Federal Highway Administration, lead Federal agency for this
project, approved a Categorical Exclusion on January 6, 1986.
The Coast Guard has determined that the proposed project meets
the criteria for a Categorical Exclusion.for purposes of the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) because it satisfies the
criteria for such actions listed in the Coast Guard's NEPA
implementing instructions.
The bridge is located in the floodplain. The proposed project
will have no significant impact on the human environment and the
project will not,have any impact on public parks, recreational
areas, wildlife and waterfowl refuges, historic sites or
archeological sites since none are located in the right-of-way or
vicinity of the bridge or its approaches. No families or
4
businesses will be displaced by the proposed project. It is
anticipated that only 0.005 acres of wetlands will be effected by
fill material. The only mitigation measures that will be
required of the contractor will be the use of berms, silt fences
and other control measures as outlined in the state approved
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Program.
The Office of Coastal Management has advised the applicant that a
Coastal Zone Management consistency statement is not required in
that the state's position on consistency is included as part of
the CAMA Permit, 227-86 issued on December 5, 1986. The applicant
has obtained a Water Quality Certification No. 1734 issued August
28, 1984.
Solicitation of Comments:
Interested parties are requested to express their views, in
writing, on the proposed bridge project giving sufficient detail
to establish a clear understanding of their reasons for support
of or opposition to the proposed work. Comments will be
received for the record at the office of Commander (can), Fifth
Coast Guard District, 431 Crawford Street, Federal Building,
Portsmouth, Virginia 23704-5004 through 1 APR 1987 These
comments will be made part of the case record.
Copies of the plans and location map are attached.
