Right of Way and Construction will be funded entirely through the North Carolina Highway Trust Fund — Bridge Replacement Program. A. Project Description: STIP project B-4438 proposes to replace Bridge No. 47 on new location (to the east of existing) while maintaining traffic on the existing bridge during construction. Bridge No. 47 is located on Green Swamp Road (NC 211) over Bear Pen Island Swamp in Brunswick County (see Figure 1). The bridge is located approximately 9 miles north of the community of Supply and 13 miles south of the town of Bolton. The land immediately surrounding the bridge is rural in nature with Juniper Creek Black Bear Sanctuary, part of the Juniper Creek Game Lands, abutting the bridge on the west. NC 211 carries a high volume of heavy logging trucks and is a designated hurricane evacuation route for Brunswick County beaches and heavily traveled summer seasonal visitor route to the beaches. The existing bridge is 53 feet long and 25 feet wide, carrying two lanes of traffic. The replacement structure will be a two span bridge approximately 105 feet long, with two 12-foot lanes and 3-foot shoulders. The bridge length is based on preliminary design information and is set by hydraulic requirements. The roadway grade of the new structure will be raised approximately 3 feet from that of the existing structure. The total length of the project is approximately 2,095 feet. The approach roadway will extend approximately 995 feet from the west end of the new bridge and 995 feet from the east end of the new bridge. The approaches will be widened to include a 24-foot pavement width, providing two 12-foot lanes. Grass shoulder width will vary from 8 to 11 feet. The roadway is classified as a Major collector and will be designed to AASHTO standards with a design speed of 60 mph. B. Description of Need and Purpose: NCDOT Bridge Management Unit records indicate Bridge No. 47 has a sufficiency rating of 5 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. Bridge No. 47 was built in 1954 and is structurally deficient due to a substructure condition rated at 4 out of 9. The appraisal of the structural evaluation and deck geometry was rated at 3 out of 9, which also classifies Bridge No. 47 as functionally obsolete. The substructure of Bridge No. 47 is composed of reinforced concrete and timber elements that are sixty three years old. Timber components have a typical life expectancy between 40 to 50 years due to the natural deterioration rate of wood. Rehabilitation of a timber structure is generally practical only when a few elements are damaged or prematurely deteriorated. However, past a certain degree of deterioration, most timber elements become impractical to maintain and upon eligibility are programmed for replacement. All timber components are experiencing an increasing degree of deterioration that can no longer be addressed by reasonable maintenance activities; therefore the bridge is approaching the end of its useful life. Bridge No. 47's superstructure is also composed of timber and reinforced concrete components. These components are experiencing an increasing degree of deterioration that can no longer be addressed by reasonable maintenance activities. Both the east and west approaches of the bridge are cracked with settlement. Longitudinal cracks are prevalent both to the right and left of the center line. Replacement of the bridge will result in safer traffic operations. C. Cateaorical Exclusion Action Classification: � TYPE I A D. Proposed Improvements 28. Bridge rehabilitation, reconstruction, or replacement or the construction of grade separation to replace the existing at grade railroad crossing, if the actions meet the constraints in 23 CFR 771.117e (1-6). E. Special Project Information: Schedule: Right of Way (ROW) is scheduled for January 2018 and construction is scheduled for January 2019. Costs: Costs are based on 2017 pricing. Construction costs $1,800,000 ROW costs $ 17,440 Utilitv costs $ 23,346 Total $ 1,840,786 Alternatives: No Build — The no build alternative would result in eventually closing the road which is unacceptable given the volume of traffic served by NC 211. Rehabilitation — Bridge No. 47 was constructed in 1954 and the timber materials within the bridge are reaching the end of their average useful life span of 50 years. Rehabilitation would require replacing the timber components which would constitute effectively replacing the bridge. Off-site Detour — An off-site detour alternative is not feasible given the limited connectivity to other major routes in the project vicinity (off-site detour is 30 miles long). On-site Detour — On-site detour alternatives were eliminated following a field site visit with environmental agencies. The construction of a temporary detour alignment would require approximately the same impacts as a new location alignment and would likely increase project costs and construction timeframe. New Alignment (Preferred) — The new alignment alternative proposes to construct a new bridge east of the existing alignment. The existing bridge will be used to maintain traffic on NC 211 during construction of the new alignment bridge and approaches. The existing bridge and approaches will be removed once traffic is shifted to the new alignment section. A new alignment alternative to the west was F not evaluated due to potential impacts to the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), Juniper Creek Game Lands, Black Bear Sanctuary. Roadway typical section is illustrated on project plan sheets (see attached Project Plans) NCDOT Division 3 concurs that this is the preferred alternative. Traffic: Base Year (2015) Future (2040) TT-STs Duals - 1,700 vpd - 3,000 vpd - 9% - 6% There is a crash history at this bridge; nine crashes in five years. Two vehicles were reported to have struck the bridge. NC 211 functions as a designated preliminary hurricane evacuation route in Brunswick County. Access: There is one access road (Little Loop Road) that provides access to silvicultural land, which is actively logged. This land is located on the east side of the project study area. Access to Little Loop Road may be temporarily impacted during bridge construction (see attached aerial map). Since access may be only slightly modified for a short duration of time during construction, substantial disruption to traffic maintenance during construction is not anticipated. Public Involvement: Landowner notification letters were sent to potentially impacted property owners within the project study area. No responses from our notification were received. Based on the lack of response, it was determined that any additional public involvement (newsletters or meetings) activities would take place closer to the project construction let date. Because notable Spanish-speaking populations requiring language assistance are located within the project study area, the NCDOT Public Involvement Unit should be consulted to determine appropriate measures assuring meaningful public involvement to satisfy the requirements of Executive Order 12898. ect Imqact Criteria Checklists: �pe I& II - Ground Disturbing Actions Yes No FHWA APPROVAL ACTIVITIES THRESHOLD CRITERIA X (FHWA Siqnature Required if "Yes" Selected) If the proposed improvement (identified above in Sections C& D) is a: • Type I Action for #s 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, &/or 30; &/or • Type II Action then answer the threshold criteria questions (below) and questions 8- 31 for ground disturbing actions.

G. Additional Documentation as Required from Section F Question 8 — Endangered Species Northern Long-eared Bat: The US Fish and Wildlife Service has developed a programmatic biological opinion (PBO) in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and NCDOT for the Northern Long-eared Bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis) in eastern North Carolina. The PBO covers the entire NCDOT program in Divisions 1-8, including all NCDOT projects and activities. The programmatic determination for NLEB for the NCDOT program is "May Effect, Likely to Adversely AffecY'. 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 federal nexus in Divisions 1-8, which includes Brunswick County, where STIP project B-4438 is located. Red-cockaded woodpecker: Habitat Description: The red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) typically occupies open, mature stands of southern pines, particularly longleaf pine, for foraging and nesting/roosting habitat. The RCW excavates cavities for nesting and roosting in living pine trees, aged 60 years or older, and which are contiguous with pine stands at least 30 years of age to provide foraging habitat. The foraging range of the RCW is normally no more than 0.5 miles. Biological Conclusion: May Affect — Not Likely to Adversely Affect Suitable habitat for the red-cockaded woodpecker exists in the study area and adjacent to the study area. Forests in the study area are mostly comprised of a closed hardwood canopy but significant areas of pine savanna with a few mature trees are located within the study area and immediately adjacent to the study area. A half-mile survey was conducted 01/05/15 and no individuals or cavities were observed. A review of NCNHP records, updated January 2015, indicates no known RCW occurrence within 1.0 mile of the study area. Cooley's meadowrue: Habitat Description: Cooley's meadowrue, documented in the Pine Savanna natural community, occurs in circumneutral soils in sunny, moist to wet grass-sedge bogs, wet-pine savannas over calcareous clays, and savannah-like areas, often at the ecotones of intermittent drainages or non-riverine swamp forests. This rhizomatous perennial herb is also found along plowed firebreaks, roadside ditches and rights-of- way, forest clearings dominated by grass or sedge, and power line or utility rights-of- way. The species requires some type of disturbance (e.g., mowing, clearing, periodic fire) to maintain its open habitat. The plant typically occurs on slightly acidic (pH 5.8- 6.6) soils that are loamy fine sand, sandy loam, or fine sandy loam; at least seasonally moist or saturated; and mapped as Foreston, Grifton, Muckalee, Torhunta, or Woodington series. Biological Conclusion: May Affect — Not Likely to Adversely Affect Suitable habitat for Cooley's meadowrue is present in the study area along roadside shoulders and utility easements. A survey for rough-leaf loosestrife was conducted during the growing season and no individuals were found. Rough-leaf loosestrife: Habitat Description: Rough-leaved loosestrife, endemic to the Coastal Plain and Sandhills of North and South Carolina, generally occurs in the ecotones or edges between longleaf pine uplands and pond pine pocosins in dense shrub and vine growth on moist to seasonally saturated sands and on shallow organic soils overlaying sand (spodosolic soils). Occurrences are found in such disturbed habitats as roadside depressions, maintained power and utility line rights-of-way, firebreaks, and trails. The species prefers full sunlight, is shade intolerant, and requires areas of disturbance (e.g., clearing, mowing, and periodic burning) where the overstory is minimal. It can, however, persist vegetatively for many years in overgrown, fire- suppressed areas. Blaney, Gilead, Johnston, Kalmia, Leon, Mandarin, Murville, Torhunta, and Vaucluse are some of the soil series that the plant occurs on. Biological Conclusion: May Affect — Not Likely to Adversely Affect Suitable habitat for rough-leaf loosestrife is present in the study area along roadside shoulders and utility easements. A survey for rough-leaf loosestrife was conducted during the growing season and no individuals were found. Question 16 — FEMA Co-ordination The Hydraulics Unit will coordinate with the NC Floodplain Mapping Program (FMP), to determine status of project with regard to applicability of NCDOT'S Memorandum of Agreement, or approval of a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) and subsequent final Letter of Map Revision (LOMR). Question 30 — Prime or Important Farmland Soil A preliminary screening of farmland conversion impacts in the project area has been completed (NRCS Form AD-1006 for point projects, Part VI only) as part of the Community Impact Assessment (April 2015), and a total score of 71 out of 160 points was calculated for the B-4438 project site. Since the total site assessment score exceeds the 60-point threshold established by NRCS, notable project impacts to eligible soils are anticipated. All alternatives studied are anticipated to have approximately the same impact to eligible soils. H. Proiect Commitments See Attached Project Commitments Greensheet I.

(ESI). As a result of the investigations, no archaeological sites were located within the project's APE. No further archaeological investigations are needed for this project. I concur with this recommendation as the proposed bridge replacement project will not impact significant archaeological resources. If the project expands and impacts subsurface areas beyond the defined APE, further archaeological consultations will be necessary.

As defined by the NCDOT, the survey area (Area of Potential Effects [APE]) for archaeology measures approximately 1,400 feet (426.72 m) long (centered on the mid-point of the existing bridge). The corridor is approximately 200 feet (91.44 m) wide, extending 100 feet (30.48 m) on each side of the centerline of the roadway/bridge. A portion of the APE is located on State-owned property (Juniper Creek Game Land, managed by the Wildlife Resources Commission). As such, a State Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) permit was obtained prior to initiation of fieldwork (ARPA Pernut #116). Background Summary A map review and site file search conducted by NCDOT on 9 February 2015 revealed that no comprehensive archaeological survey of this bridge has been conducted; however, one previously recorded archaeological site has been identified within a one-half mile radius of the APE. Site 31BW380 is located outside of the APE on the southeast side of Bear Pen Islands Swamp. The site, identified in 1980 by Coastal Zone Resources, was recorded as a surface scatter of prehistoric ceramics within a previously clearcut and gaded area on the southeast side of the swamp. A search of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office online database (HPOWEB GIS Service) revealed no previously recorded historic architectural resources within the APE that have the potential to yield intact archaeological deposits. Topographic maps, aerial photography, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) soil survey maps, and historic maps were examined for information on natural or cultural factors that might have affected site locations or preservation. Earlier maps of the vicinity, including the 1910 county map, c. 1930-43 Rural Delivery Route map, and 1930 County Road Survey do not appear to show a road in this area at all (Figures 3�). Although the current bridge was constructed in 1954, the 1962 highway map of Brunswick County (Figure 5) is the earliest clear depiction of the current road alignment and bridge. No structures in the vicinity of the APE are depicted on any of these maps. Environmental Setting The APE is located within the Lower Coastal Plain physiographic region and consists of the floodplain and adjacent T1 terraces of Bear Pen Islands Swamp. NC 211 (Green Swamp Road NW) crosses Bear Pen Islands Swamp roughly northwest to southeast. Bear Pen Island Swamp drains southeast into Juniper Creek, eventually flowing into the Waccamaw River within the Lumber River Basin. Map units (soil series) are named for the major soil or soils within the unit, but may have minor inclusions of other soils (NRCS 2014). The floodplain of the APE is mapped as Dorovan muck, a very poorly drained, frequently flooded soil series (Table 1). The adjacent terrace on either side of the floodplain is mapped as Foreston loamy fine sand, a moderately well drained, nearly level soil series encountered on flats and broad interstream divides.

Photographs of the project area are shown as Figures C�14. A systematic visual inspection of the APE was undertaken to search for surface artifacts, above-ground resources, or other signs of cultural activity. A total of eight shovel tests were excavated during the current investigation (see Figure 2 for shovel test locations). The APE was divided into four quadrants (e.g., northeast, southeast) based roughly on their locations relative to the bridge. Each quadrant of the APE is described below. The northwestern quadrant of the APE consisted of a clearcut powerline corridor and adjacent field of scrub pine and vegetation. A wide drainage ditch runs along the side of the existing road (NC 211). The portion of this quadrant south of Little Loop Road was very poorly drained and was surrounded by drainage ditches. Shovel testing was limited to the area north of Little Loop Road, which appeared to be fairly dry and was mapped as containing Foreston loamy iine sand, a moderately well drained soil series. Three shovel tests were excavated in this quadrant of the APE (STs 1-3). ST 1 encountered disturbed soils, likely resulting from timber harvesting or the maintenance and grading of Little Loop Road. Pushpiles of soil, gravel, and asphalt as well as deep ruts and furrows from heavy equipment were noted in the vicinity. ST 2 encountered 20 centimeters of dark grayish brown sandy loam over 20 centimeters of olive brown loamy sand. Subsoil was a brownish yellow sandy clay, encountered at 40 centimeters below ground surface. Soils in ST 3, located near the northeastern edge of the APE, were poorly drained and consisted of 30 centimeters of dark grayish brown sandy loam over a wet, very dark gray loam. The southwestern quadrant of the APE consisted of a maintained pine stand that appeared to have been recently subjected to controlled burning (see Figure 9). Ground cover in this portion of the APE was limited to low, scrubby vegetation including blueberry, fern, and various grasses. Five shovel tests were excavated in this portion of the APE (STs 4-8). Shovel Tests ST�7 encountered 20 centimeters of dark grayish brown loamy fine sand over 25 centimeters of light brown sand. Subsoil was a yellowish brown to dark yellowish brown sandy clay. Shovel Test ST8 was poorly drained and consisted of 35 centimeters of very dark gray sandy loam over mottled black and pale brown wet loamy sand. The remaining portions of the APE (the northeastern and southeastern quadrants) consisted of very poorly drained floodplain with standing water visible. No shovel testing was conducted in these areas; however, a systematic visual inspection of the APE was undertaken for surface evidence of historic or prehistoric cultural activity. Excavated shovel tests measured 30 centimeters in diameter and were excavated to sterile subsoil, hydric/saturated soils, the water table, or 75 centimeters below surface (whichever was encountered first). All soils were excavated by natural levels (soil strata) and screened through a 0.25-inch hardware mesh. No artifacts were recovered from any of the shovel tests. Based on the results of the background research and field investigations, no archaeological resources are located within the APE for Bridge No. 47 in Brunswick County. It is recommended that this project be allowed to proceed without concern for impacts to significant cultural resources. Should the boundary of the proposed APE be expanded or moved, additional archaeological investigations may be necessary, as determined in consultation with the NCDOT and/or SHPO per the Programmatic Agreement. .��G�yl�u�� Terri Russ Senior Archaeology Manager Environmental Services, Inc.
