Subject: Application for CAMA Major Development Permit for the Proposed Replacement of
Bridge No. 38 over Trent Creek on NC 55 in Pamlico County, North Carolina; TIP No.
B-4593; Debit $475 from WBS No. 42328.1.2
Dear Sir,
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace the existing 145-foot
bridge No. 38 on NC 55 over Trent Creek in Pamlico County. The purpose of the project is to replace a
deficient bridge; the existing bridge has a sufficiency rating of 37.89 out of a possible 100 for anew
structure.
The proposed structure is a 165-foot, three -span bridge on the existing alignment, 34.6 feet wide A
temporary on -site detour will be utilized on the south side to maintain traffic during construction. An
offsite detour was considered during project planning. This option was precluded by the status of NC 55
as a primary Hurricane Evacuation Route for the area, the traffic volume served by the route, and limited
connectivity to the other major routes in the project vicinity.
A Minimum Criteria Determination Checklist (MCDC) was completed in February 2018 and distributed
shortly after. Additional copies are available at the NCDOT website:
https://xfer.services.ncdot. eov/pdea/EnvironmentalDoes/Documents.
On January 16, 2019, draft permit drawings were sent by e-mail to Stephen Lane, Garcy Ward, and Tom
Steffens. Over subsequent weeks, different design alternatives were considered to minimize the project
impact to coastal wetlands. The current design includes a sheet pile wall to restrict the amount of fill
required. This option has reduced the amount of permanent wetland fill from 0.24 acres to 0.11 acre.
Temporary fill has been reduced from 0.45 acre to 0.15 acre.
Several utilities conflict with the proposed project alignment and will require relocation, including
underground cable and overhead electric power lines and poles. A more detailed utility narrative is
attached along with drawings depicting utility impacts to wetlands and riparian buffers.

Proposed permanent impacts to wetlands total 0.09 acre, with 0.15 acre of temporary fill for the bridge
replacement. An additional 8 linear feet of permanent stream impact will occur to Trent Creek. Utility
work will require 0.02 acre of excavation in wetlands, with an additional 0.65 acre of hand clearing.
Impacts to riparian buffers total 1796 sq. ft of allowable impact in Zone 1 and 1253 sq. ft in Zone 2.
Utility relocations will impact 2092 in Zone 1 and 1392 in Zone 2, both allowable.
Please see enclosed copies of the Major Permit Forms 1 and 5, Lengyel Mitigation Site Debit Ledger,
permit drawings, stormwater management plan, utility drawings, and roadway plans for the above
referenced project.

Biological Conclusions for ESA Listed Species
The USFWS 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) 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 Affect, Likely to Adversely Affect." 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 Pamlico County where 13-
4593 is located.
As discussed in the NRTR, West Indian manatees may inhabit Trent Creek. A review of North Carolina
Natural Heritage Program records dated January 2015 show that West Indian manatees have been
documented within 1 mile of the study area. The NC Department of Transportation will adhere to
recommendations listed in the USFWS publication Guidelines for Avoiding Impacts to the West Indian
Manatee — Precautionary Measures for Construction Activities in North Carolina Waters (USFWS 2003)
during construction. Adherence to these recommendations will minimize the likelihood of adverse effects
to this species. For this reason, project implementation is not likely to adversely affect this species.
Since the MCDC was completed, the NCDOT has coordinated with the National Marine Fisheries Service
regarding the potential effects of the project on the two sturgeon species. The NMFS concurred on
January 28, 2019 that the project will have no effect on these species. For the remaining ESA listed
species, NCDOT has concluded the project will have No Effect.

N.C.D.O.T. — PAMLCO BRIDGE NO. 38 OVER TRENT CREEK
PAGE #2
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:
Project Setting
Bridge No. 38 is located over Trent Creek on NC 55, approximately 650' west of the intersection
of SR 1324 (Florence Road) and NC 55 in Pamlico County. NC 55 is the main highway carrying
traffic to and from the southeast portion of the county. Typical elevations in the project area range
from 0 to 6 feet above the normal water level of Trent Creek. The majority of the length of the
project can be characterized as undeveloped floodplain dominated by Coastal Wetlands, with rural
housing on each end of the project area. The western area of the project has a 110' — 120' wide x
400' long causeway leading from high ground through Coastal Wetlands to the bridge. On the east
side of the bridge, there is a 110' - 120' wide x 500' long causeway leading through Coastal
Wetlands to high ground. The land adjacent to both causeways is vegetated with sod grass, loblolly
pine, sweetgum, and cedar trees outside of the maintained roadway. Cladium jamaicense, Juncus
roemerianus, Spartina cynosuroides, Spartina patens, and Typha spp. appear at the lower elevations
beyond the causeway areas.
Bridge 38 was constructed in 1960 and is 145' long by 30' wide. The bridge has 27' of clear
roadway width, including two 12' wide travel lanes. The bridge is a fixed bridge consisting of four
spans, with the two central spans being approximately 32' in length and the two outer spans being
approximately 40' in length. The navigable horizontal clearance under the bridge is 29', while the
navigable vertical clearance underneath the bridge is 7.2'.
The superstructure for the bridge consists of an asphalt wearing surface over a reinforced concrete
deck on steel I -beams. The bridge is supported with reinforced concrete caps on precast prestressed
concrete piles. The bridge currently has a sufficiency rating of 37.89 out of 100, with a substructure
condition rating of 4 out of 9. There are no stormwater runoff controls on the bridge, as the existing
bridge deck has drains that lead directly into Trent Creek. There are no known archaeological or
historic architectural resources within the project area.
Overhead power and telecommunication lines parallel the north and south side of the bridge and
cross aerially over Trent Creek. A 6" sewer force main parallels the north side of the bridge and
crosses under Trent Creek. A 8" public water line parallels the south side of the bridge and crosses
aerially over Trent Creek via attachment to the side of the bridge.
Trent Creek is classified as SC; Sw, NSW by the Environmental Management Commission in the
area of the proposed construction and is located within the Neuse River Basin, and therefore, subject
to the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules. Downstream of the bridge Trent Creek is classified by the
North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries as Coastal Waters, upstream of the bridge Trent Creek
is classified as hiland Waters and as an Anadromous Fish Spawning Area. The waters adjacent to
the existing bridge are closed to shellfishing by the Shellfish Sanitation Section of the Division of
Marine Fisheries. At the project site Trent Creek is approximately 80' to 100' wide and has a
maximum water depth of -10' below NWL in the channel. Navigation is limited to small watercraft
due to the approximately 7' of vertical clearance under the bridge. No SAV's were observed in the
project area during the site visit.

Project Proposal
NCDOT proposes to replace the existing Bridge No. 38 over Trent Creek. The project involves
the replacement of the existing bridge and related approaches, with a new concrete girder bridge and
new approaches. The project has been designed to be constructed with a temporary on -site detour to
maintain existing traffic on NC 55.
To initiate project construction, a 1,259' long temporary detour would be built on the south side
of the existing road and bridge beginning at -LDET- Sta. 10+00 and ending at -LDET- Sta. 22+59.
The temporary detour route would be located approximately 50' south of the existing bridge
(centerline to centerline) and would provide one 12' travel lane in each direction with 28' of clear
roadway width. The detour would include a 31.5' wide by 140' long temporary bridge over Trent
Creek and require that temporary fill be placed at each end, including 0.15 acres of temporary fill in
Coastal Wetlands. The low chord elevation of the temporary detour bridge would be 7' above the
normal water level of Trent Creek.
In order to minimize wetland impacts, the temporary fill slopes for the detour would be
constructed with vertical sheet pile walls from -LDET- Sta. 12+80 to
-LDET- Sta. 15+40 on the west end of the temporary detour, and from -LDET- Sta. 16+71 to
-LDET- Sta. 21+00 on the east end of the temporary detour. The temporary fill for the detour would
be placed on geotextile fabric to ensure complete removal of the fill material. Once construction of
the on -site detour was completed, the existing bridge would then be completely demolished and
removed from the project site utilizing NCDOT approved Best Management Practices.
The new bridge as proposed would be 160' in length and 34.6' in width, which would be 15'
longer and 4.6' wider than the existing bridge. The new bridge would include two 12' wide travel
lanes, with 4' wide shoulders, and 32' of clear deck width. The bridge would also have a 1.3' wide
concrete rail along each side for safety purposes.
The new bridge would consist.of three spans; a 50' span in the middle and a 55' span on each
end. The bridge would include two bents located within Trent Creek. The design would provide a
minimum of 7.5' of vertical clearance under the bridge and approximately 48' of horizontal
clearance through the bridge. The new bridge would be constructed utilizing a crane and other
typical bridge construction equipment from the high ground adjacent to each end of the bridge,
which would not require the construction or use of a temporary work bridge.
NCDOT has committed to build the new bridge with no deck drains over surface waters. The
stormwater from the bridge would be conveyed via a closed deck drainage system to a drop inlet
located at each end of the bridge. The stormwater would be conveyed from the drop inlets via 15"
pipes to a dissipator pad placed within the fill slopes of the new bridge, but outside of wetland areas
and the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Zones. The design would allow for the treatment of the
stormwater in the wetland areas and Buffer Zones before being discharged to the creek.
The approach structures to the bridge would also be raised above their current location to coincide
with the new bridge elevation. A 522' long section of roadway up to 85' wide (including existing
fill) would be constructed on the west end of the new bridge and the grade would be raised by up to
l' above the existing road elevation. An 818' long section of roadway up to 83' wide would be
constructed on the east end of the new bridge, and the grade would be raised up to 1.5' above the
existing substrate. The slopes for the new approaches are to be constructed at a 3:1 ratio or steeper in
wetland areas.

N.C.D.O.T. — PAMLICO BRIDGE NO.38 OVER TRENT CREEK
PAGE #4
The north side of the causeways would be rock plated from -L- Sta. 11+00 to -L- Sta. 15+98 on
the west end of the bridge, and from -L- Sta. 18+06 to -L- Sta. 22+75 on the east end of the bridge.
The bases of the bridge are also to be stabilized with riprap. The riprap as proposed would be up to
135' in length and 30' in width at each end bent of the bridge and would connect with the rock
plating along the north side of the causeways. The riprap would be placed landward of the normal
water level of Trent Creek, with the exception of the northeast corner of the riprap placed around
End Bent No. 1. New guardrails would be constructed along NC 55 once the new roadway was
complete for approximately 325' from the western end of the bridge and 568' from the eastern end of
the bridge.
The applicant has proposed to remove portions of the existing high ground causeway by
excavating a 27' long x 78' wide section of existing roadway fill from beneath the western end of the
bridge, and excavating a 15' x 80' section of fill from beneath the eastern end of the bridge. The
excavation areas would be graded down to between 3' and 4' of elevation to allow access to the
underside of the bridge for maintenance purposes and restore a portion of the floodplain.
Once construction of the new bridge is complete, traffic would be diverted off the temporary
detour and onto the new bridge. The temporary bridge and all fill material associated with it would
be completely removed. All temporary fill areas within wetlands would then be assessed for any
permanent impacts.
The replacement of the bridge would require that the existing 8" water line that parallels the south
side of the project be relocated between -L- Sta. 10+50 and -L- Sta. 21+80 to approximately 50'
north of the centerline of the proposed bridge by boring under Trent Creek via directional drill. The
water line would be placed a minimum of 20' below the bottom of the creek. The 8" sewer force
main on the north side of the bridge would be relocated between -L- Sta. 10+30 and -L- Sta. 22+35
to approximately 60' north of the proposed bridge via directional bore under Trent Creek and would
also be placed a minimum of 20' below the creek bottom.
The overhead powerline on the south side of bridge would be retained in place with no
adjustments. The overhead powerline on the north side of the bridge would be relocated
approximately 35' further north of the bridge from -L- Sta. 15+30 and -L- Sta. 23+05 with a
minimum clearance over Trent Creek of 46.8'. The Spectrum telecommunication line on the south
side of the project will be relocated to the north side of the project from -L- Sta. 15+30 to -L- Sta.
26+60 and will cross over Trent Creek on Duke Energy's power poles with a minimum clearance of
42.8'. The CenturyLink telecommunication lines on the south side of the project would be relocated
to the north side of the project beginning at a point east of the project limits to -L- Sta. 23+25, and
would cross over Trent Creek on Duke Energy's power poles with a minimum clearance of 39.4'.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed bridge would permanently shade 5,536 sq. ft. of the waters of Trent Creek, which
would be 1,186 sq. ft. more than that which exists with the current bridge. The construction of the
bridge would result in the increase in the vertical navigable clearance under the bridge, from 7.2' to
7.5'. The increased bridge length would also allow an increase in the horizontal navigable width
from 29' to 48' and reduce the number of bents in the water from three to two. The construction of
the temporary detour bridge would decrease vertical navigable clearance to 7.0' during the
construction of the new bridge, however, impacts from the reduced clearance are expected to be
minimal due to the existing limited use upstream of the bridge and temporary nature of the detour.

FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
N.C.D.O.T. — PAMLICO BRIDGE NO.38 OVER TRENT CREEK
PAGE #5
The increased causeway width would result in the filling of 143 sq. ft. of open water and 3,920 sq.
ft. of Coastal Wetlands, as well as the hand clearing of an additional 6,098 sq. ft. of Coastal
Wetlands. Utility work associated with the project would result in the excavation of 871 sq. ft. of
Coastal Wetlands, filling of 34 sq. ft. of Coastal Wetlands, and the hand clearing of 28,314 sq. ft. of
Coastal Wetlands. The temporary detour would require temporarily filling 6,534 sq. ft. of Coastal
Wetlands and hand clearing 7,841 sq. ft. of Coastal Wetlands.
Approximately 3,049 sq. ft. of area within the Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Area adjacent
to Trent Creek would be impacted by the construction of the bridge and roadway, of which 1,796 sq.
ft. would be in Zone I and 1,253 sq. ft. would be in Zone H. An additional 3,484 sq. ft. of area within
the buffer would be impacted by utility work associated with the project, of which 2,092 sq. ft.
would be in Zone I and 1,392 sq. ft. would be in Zone H.
The project would result in a total of 78,349 sq. ft. of high ground disturbance, including the
grading and paving of the new approaches to the bridge and the removal of the causeway under the
existing bridge. The applicant has proposed to mitigate for the unavoidable wetland and surface
water impacts from the project by debiting 0.11 acres of Brackish Marsh Restoration credit at a 1:1
ratio from the Lengyel Mitigation Site debit ledger. The mitigation site is located adjacent to the
Neuse River Bridge in New Bern, Craven County. The site was formally approved for mitigation
credit in 2004.
A localized increase in turbidity can be expected during the in -water construction portion of the
temporary and permanent bridges and the removal of the existing bridge. No additional closures of
shellfishing waters are expected in association with the proposed project. Impacts to fisheries
resources in Trent Creek are expected to be minimal with the applicant's commitment to avoid any
in -water work between the dates of February 15 and June 30 of any year.
A multitude of other efforts have been utilized to minimize and avoid impacts from this project
including but not limited to the use of vertical walls and 3:1 or steeper fill slopes in jurisdictional
areas, the avoidance of deck drains over open waters, and construction of a longer bridge to
minimize impacts to wetlands. The public is expected to benefit upon completion of the project by
the increase in the safety of the new structure and increased navigation adjacent to and beyond the
bridge.

Lengyel Mitigation Site
ONEID 025-001
The Lengyel Site is in Craven County within the USGS hydrologic unit 03020204 of the Neuse
River. NCDOT acquired the 11.9 acre brackish marsh site to mitigate for unavoidable,
jurisdictional impacts associated with TIP B-2531. Monitoring requirements were performed from
1999 to 2003 and the site was closed out in 2004. Table 1 shows the final mitigation quantities
approved for the site. The site has been placed on the NCDOT On -site Debit Ledger for use within
HUC 03020202. Table 2 indicates all mitigation debits that have occurred per regulatory agency
approval.
In order to offset 0.11 acres of unavoidable brackish marsh impacts associated with B-4593, the
Lengyel Mitigation Site will be debited 0.11 acres of brackish marsh mitigation.

GUIDELINES FOR AVOIDING IMPACTS TO THE WEST INDIAN MANATEE
Precautionary Measures for Construction Activities in North Carolina Waters
The West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), also known as the Florida manatee, is
a Federally -listed endangered aquatic mammal protected under the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and the Marine Mammal Protection Act
of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.0 1461 et seq.). The manatee is also listed as endangered
under the North Carolina Endangered Species Act of 1987 (Article 25 of Chapter 113 of
the General Statutes). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is the lead Federal
agency responsible for the protection and recovery of the West Indian manatee under the
provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Adult manatees average 10 feet long and weigh about 2,200 pounds, although some
individuals have been recorded at lengths greater than 13 feet and weighing as much as
3,500 pounds. Manatees are commonly found in fresh, brackish, or marine water habitats,
including shallow coastal bays, lagoons, estuaries, and inland rivers of varying salinity
extremes. Manatees spend much of their time underwater or partly submerged, making
them difficult to detect even in shallow water. While the manatee's principal stronghold in
the United States is Florida, the species is considered a seasonal inhabitant of North
Carolina with most occurrences reported from June through October.
To protect manatees in North Carolina, the Service's Raleigh Field Office has prepared
precautionary measures for general construction activities in waters used by the species.
Implementation of these measure will allow in -water projectswhich do not require blasting
to proceed without adverse impacts to manatees. In addition, inclusion of these guidelines
as conservation measures in a Biological Assessment or Biological Evaluation, or as part
of the determination of impacts on the manatee in an environmental document prepared
pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act, will expedite the Service's review of the
document for the fulfillment of requirements under Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act. These measures include:
1. The project manager and/or contractor will inform all personnel associated with the
project that manatees may be present in the project area, and the need to avoid any harm
to these endangered mammals. The project manager will ensure that all construction
personnel know the general appearance of the species and their habit of moving about
completely or partially submerged in shallow water. All construction personnel will be
informed that they are responsible for observing water -related activities for the presence
of manatees.
2. The project manager and/or the contractor will advise all construction personnel that

there are civil and criminal penalties for harming, harassing, or killing manatees which are
protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act.
3. If a manatee is seen within 100 yards of the active construction and/or dredging
operation or vessel movement, all appropriate precautions will be implemented to ensure
protection of the manatee. These precautions will include the immediate shutdown of
moving equipment if a manatee comes within 50 feet of the operational area of the
equipment. Activities will not resume until the manatee has departed the project area on
its own volition (i.e., it may not be herded or harassed from the area).
4. Any collision with and/or injury to a manatee will be reported immediately. The report
must be made to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (ph. 919.856.4520 ext. 16), the
National Marine Fisheries Service (ph. 252.728.8762), and the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (ph. 252.448.1546).
5. A sign will be posted in all vessels associated with the project where it is clearly visible
to the vessel operator. The sign should state:
CAUTION: The endangered manatee may occur in these waters during the warmer
months, primarily from June through October. Idle speed is required if operating
this vessel in shallow water during these months. All equipment must be shut down
if a manatee comes within 50 feet of the vessel or operating equipment. A collision
with and/or injury to the manatee must be reported immediatelyto the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (919-856-4520 ext. 16), the National Marine Fisheries Service
(252.728.8762), "and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(252.448.1546).
6. The contractor will maintain a log detailing sightings, collisions, and/or injuries to
manatees during project activities. Upon completion of the action, the project manager will
prepare a report which summarizes all information on manatees encountered and submit
the report to the Service's Raleigh Field Office.
7. All vessels associated with the construction project will operate at "no wake/idle" speeds
at all times while in water where the draft of the vessel provides less than a four foot
clearance from the bottom. All vessels will follow routes of deep water whenever possible.
8. If siltation barriers must be placed in shallow water, these barriers will be: (a) made of
material in which manatees cannot become entangled; (b) secured in a manner that they
cannot break free and entangle manatees; and, (c) regularly monitored to ensure that
manatees have not become entangled. Barriers will be placed in a manner to allow
manatees entry to or exit from essential habitat.

Pamlico County Water will be removing/abandoning approximately 1111 feet of 8-inch PVC waterline on
the south side of NC Hwy 55. The existing waterline is suspended from the existing bridge. This segment
will be removed. The removed/abandoned segment of waterline will be replaced with approximately
270 LF of 8-inch PVC, 950 LF of 10" HDPE, two 8-inch insertion valves, three 8-inch 90-degree bends, an
8-inch 22.5-degree bend, an 8-inch 45-degree bend, and two 10"x8" HDPE Reducers with 8" MJ
Adaptors. The new segment will cross NC Hwy 55 West and East of the bridge, requiring 36 and 45 LF of
16-inch steel casing respectively. The steel casing will be bore and jacked which will require a 35'x15'
bore pit at the west crossing and a 35'x20' bore pit at the east crossing. Both bore pits will be north of
NC Hwy 55. The new segment will connect to the existing waterline at the crossings of NC Hwy 55 which
will require 15'x15' receiving pits at both locations. The proposed waterline will cross underneath Trent
Creek (maintaining a 20' minimum separation below the bottom of the channel) with 950 LF of
directionally drilled 10-inch HDPE. The waterline directional drilling will utilize the 35'x25' bore pit west

of the bridge used to directionally drill the sanitary sewer and require a 15'x15' receiving pit east of the
bridge. Wetland areas will be impacted by the bore pits at both crossings of NC Hwy 55 (north of NC
Hwy 55) and the receiving pit north of NC Hwy 55 and east of the bridge. These impacts total 727 sf.
