Public NoticeU.S. Army Corpsof EngineersBaltimore DistrictIn Reply to Application NumberCENAB-OP-RMN (MD SHA/Project No. TA392B21/MD 331over the Choptank River/Bridge Replacement) 2013-61457-M24PN 14-14Comment Period: February 20, 2014 – March 21, 2014THE PURPOSE OF THIS PUBLIC NOTICE IS TO SOLICIT COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC ABOUTTHE WORK DESCRIBED BELOW. AT THIS TIME, NO DECISION HAS BEEN MADE AS TO WHETHEROR NOT A PERMIT WILL BE ISSUED.The Baltimore District has received an application for a Department of the Army Permit pursuant to Section10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33U.S.C. 1344), as described below:APPLICANT:Mr. Todd NicholsMaryland State Highway Administration707 N. Calvert StreetBaltimore, Maryland 21202WATERWAY AND LOCATION: Choptank River between Talbot and Caroline Counties at the MD 331bridge, on the eastern shore of Maryland.PROPOSED WORK: To replace an existing, functionally obsolete, two-lane, swing span bridge (DoverBridge) with a 2,021-foot long, 44-foot wide, 50-foot high fixed span bridge along MD 331, at theChoptank River, between Talbot and Caroline Counties, Maryland. The proposed project will replacethe Dover Bridge with a fixed span bridge directly downstream of the existing bridge, allowing thehistoric Dover Bridge to remain in place and operational. The work will also include construction of atemporary construction trestle, dredging, relocation of a 6-inch gas line by others, installation of twoculverts through the existing MD 331 road causeway, and construction of a causeway within the tidalmarsh in order to align the new bridge with the existing MD 331 alignment.The project will result in unavoidable impacts to tidal wetlands and waters including 116,961 square feet(2.69 acres) of permanent and 38,056 square feet (0.87 acres) of temporary impacts to tidal wetlands,22,531 square feet (0.52 acres) of permanent and 5,548 square feet (0.13 acres) temporary impacts totidal open waters, and 120 linear feet (840 square feet) of permanent impacts to non-tidal waters of theU.S. Of the permanent impacts listed above, the area to be mechanically dredged is 14, 207 squarefeet of open water and 2,829 square feet of tidal wetlands, resulting in 1,440 cubic yards of dredgedmaterial to be barged to the Weanack dredged material containment facility, 461 Shirley PlantationRoad, Charles City, Virginia 23030.The applicant has proposed wetland creation to mitigate for impacts to wetlands and tidal waters. Theproposal is to mitigate for permanent tidal emergent wetland and tidal open water wetland impactsthrough the creation of 7.29 acres of tidal wetlands in an agricultural field (Jester property) adjacent tothe project site on the north side of MD 331, east of the Dover Bridge. The wetland mitigationconstruction will result in 1,908 square feet (0.04 acres) of permanent and 1,947 square feet (0.04acres) temporary impacts to tidal wetland, and 588 square feet (0.01 acres) of permanent and 154square feet (0.003 acres) of temporary impacts to tidal open water. These impacts are accounted for inthe total mitigation requirements for the project. As part of the mitigation package, the applicant is alsoproposing to install two, 36-inch concrete culverts in the existing causeway for wildlife passage, and asuper silt fence with turtle exclusion lip to keep turtles from entering the roadway, and reduce turtlemortality at the project site.For bridge construction, design alternatives considered included a temporary fill work platform orcauseway, a 40 ft wide temporary trestle, a leap frog construction method (cast in place), and a 1400 ft

-2bridge extension. The temporary construction trestle avoids fill in tidal wetlands and is the preferredconstruction access alternative.All work is to be completed in accordance with the enclosed plan(s). If you have any questions concerningthis matter, please contact Mrs. Mary Frazier at 410-962-5679 or Mary.A.Frazier@usace.army.mil.The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impact includingcumulative impacts of the proposed activity on the public interest. That decision will reflect the nationalconcern for both protection and utilization of important resources. The benefit which reasonably may beexpected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. Allfactors which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered including the cumulative effects thereof;among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, culturalvalues, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, flood plainvalues, land use, navigation, shoreline erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation,water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, and, in general, the needs and welfare of thepeople.The evaluation of the impact of the work described above on the public interest will include application ofthe Clean Water Act Section 404 (b) (1) Guidelines promulgated by the Administrator, U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency, under the authority of the Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State, and local agencies andofficials; Indian Tribes; and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of thisproposed activity.

The project may have an adverse effect on Essential FishHabitat as described under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act for thespecies and life stages identified above. However, the District Engineer has made a preliminarydetermination that site-specific impacts would not be substantial and an abbreviated consultation will be

-3conducted with NMFS.
