Division Engineer, Division 9 North Carolina Department of Transportation 375 Silas Creek Parkway Winston Salem, 27127 Subject: I-40 and US 158 Bridges over Yadkin River Unauthorized stream impacts Dear Mr. Ivey: On May 31, 2007, Mr. Kent Boyer, Division Environmental Officer for NCDOT Division 9, informed Sue Homewood, Division of Water Quality (DWQ) regional staff, of unauthorized stream bank clearing and stream impacts under both the I-40 and US 158 Yadkin River Bridges. This fill of a jurisdictional stream without authorization is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H .0500. Upon discovery, NCDOT immediately developed a corrective action plan and confirmed with DWQ that the plan was adequate. Erosion control measures were immediately implemented and a small earthen causeway was removed from the Yadkin River. Seeding occurred on June 1, 2007. DOT shall continue to inspect this area until permanent vegetation has stabilized the stream banks. Any significant sediment loss from the site shall be reported to DWQ immediately upon discover. Inspection records must be kept and provided to the DWQ upon request. In addition, DOT shall continue to investigate the cause of the unauthorized activity and conduct any additional internal training or other internal actions to prevent future similar occurrences. DWQ would be happy to assist with any future training. The DWQ appreciates the open communication that occurred during this situation. We acknowledge that DOT took immediate action upon discovery of this violation. We look forward to continued communication and assistance on this, and future projects. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact Sue Homewood at 336-771-4964 or at sue.homewood@ncmail.net. Sincerely, l? Steve W.

August 2, 2006 Jamie Guerrero NC Department of Transportation Division 4 P.O. Box 3165 Wilson, North Carolina 27895-3165 Dear Mr. Guerrero: This letter is in response to your letter of August 1, 2006 which provided the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) with the biological determination of the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) that the proposed bank stabilizations at Bridge No. 503 on I-40 over Swift Creek and at Bridge No. 147 on SR 1525 (Cornwallis Road) over Swift Creek in Johnston County may affect, but are not likely to adversely affect the federally endangered dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon). These comments are provided in accordance with section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). According to the information provided, the recent Tropical Storm Alberto caused scouring of the stream banks upstream and under the aforementioned bridges. To prevent further scouring, NCDOT proposes to armor limited sections of the banks with riprap. Since the dwarf wedgemussel has been observed near the two project sites, a cursory mussel survey was conducted at each scour site on July 14, 2006. No live mussels were observed in the scoured areas and no suitable habitat was found within the project footprint. Since the only activity to occur within Swift Creek is the mechanical placement of riprap from equipment staged at the top of the bank, there is minimal risk of downstream sedimentation effects. Furthermore, armoring the scoured banks may provide a beneficial effect in the form of reducing downstream sedimentation from the eroding banks. Based on the information provided and other information available, the Service concurs with your determination that the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the dwarf wedgemussel. In addition, we believe that the project will have no effect on other federally listed species. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the ESA have been satisfied. We remind you that obligations under section 7 consultation must be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered in this review; (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by this identified action. 0(dj8? al?50vl JP -• i.

The proposed action was developed in -response to Hurricane events which occurred during the fall of 2004 and caused large amounts of sediment to be deposited in Balsam Lake.. The Wolf Creels watershed feeds. into Balsam Lake and several roads within this watershed exhibited moderate to severe soil erosion and are centnbuting to the sediment load ?u.t4e.lake,,.The,:pjpyect.,area is located i-aJackson County, east of the Little Canada community, as shown on the attached map. Balsam Lake is are S acre impoundment purchased by the Forest Service in the 1930's as pat of the Roy Taylor Forest. Since that-time, it has been used for public recreation; current lacilities include a lodge, day use area, trails, and Fishing platforms. The n.ortbem end of the lake has :filled with sediment -to the point where public access to the lake is very.restricted. The suzroundiing Forest Service lands Mthin the Wolf Creek watershed were acquired at the same time, Prior to Forest Service acquisition, these lands had been extensively logged and a large network of roads had been constructed to facilitate timber removal. Today, these roads are classified as either N.- Lonal Forest Systo Roads (NFSR's) or Unclassified Roads (UR:'s). Onclassified roads are not part of the official road system and receive no maimenance. Some roads were constructed in riparian areas and on steep grades, both practices that would not meet current road design requirements: Currently, the roads are primarily used for hunting, campii.g, four-wheel driving, hiking, fishing, and access to private property. Evidence of illegal all-terrain vehicle (ATV) use is also apparent in several areas. During the summer of 2005, a hydrology team looked at the existing sediment levels in Balsam Lake and specifically looked at the roads and trails within the Wolf Creek watershed to deterrnine if they were a significant contributor to the increased sedimentation problem. The hydrology team prescribed treatments that would elixiAnate or gz-eatly reduce the impacts ot^6 t'ne roadltrail nem-ork on the Wolf Creep watershed and result in less sediment being deposited in balsam Lake. An engineering road analysis was also conducted and resulted in recommendations for both NFSR's and LTR's Nvithin the project area. The following projects are proposed in the Wolf Creek watershed: Balsam Lake Dr, czT,' to The water level would be lowered to allow mechanical removal of sediment. Efforts will be focused on northern portions of the lake where.cmTent water levels are low and recreational access has been restricted. Deeper areas of the lake near the dam will not be dredged and the lake will not be completely drained. Dredged material tivill be transported to a nearby designated location as shown on the attached project map. This di.srosa.l area would be revegetated at the completion of .bQ dredging process.

The Hurricane events which ocru.aed during the fall of 2004 caused major damage to these structures and shifts in the stream/lake chumels left the structures unusable. Damage to the trail` system= accessing tkzese platforms also occurred. Reconstruction and relocation efforts would allow for continued public, use of these facilities: Road P;-Rp- val : The two m jor roads provzdI , primary access into the project axea are NFSR 4648 (Charley Creek) and NFSR. 4655 (Gage Creep). They both have been identified as major sources of sedimentation. for Balsam Lake. Both roads are currently open, but a portion of NFSR 4655 was previously closed with a berm that has worn down to the point where traffic is no longer restricted. NFSR 466?A (Herrin Knob) has been closed (gateiberm) and current.zoad conditions and vegetative 7 owth have prevented any recent vehicular traffic on the majority of the road. These roads have not been maintained to current road standards (grade, drainage, surfacing, etc) and would require heav-/ maintenance, reconstruction and realigrauent to correct areas where drainage failures have failed to handle water runoff. Seasonal closures could be implemented to reduce vehicular damage during the critical freeze/thaw time period. In addition, two different options are being considered to alleviate specific problems.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant proposes to construct a boat ramp, 2 fixed piers, floating dock, 2 riprap groins and renovate parking area adjacent the Roanoke River in the Town of Williamston in Mo- County. i C/ y Wildlife Resources Commission - Williamston Boating Access Area Martin County (Landward of NWL) and Bertie County (waterward of NWL) Project setting The project site is located off River Road (SR 1450), adjacent the Roanoke River in the Town of Williamston in Martin County, North Carolina. The shoreline on the southern side of the Roanoke River in this area is the dividing line between Martin and. Bertie Counties. The River is within the boundaries of Bertie County at this location. The subject site is approximately 2.1 acres in size and is owned by the N.C. Department of Transportation (N.C. D.O.T.) and is maintained as a public boat ramp by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission through an encroachment agreement. Existing man-made features on the site include a public boat ramp, launch pier, wooden platform, paved access road and gravel parking lot. Vegetation on this tract primarily consists of yard grasses. The western (upstream) property is owned by the Town of Williamston. This property contains a large floodplain that is located between River Road (SR 1450) and the River. Vegetation on this tract primarily consists of numerous shrubs, mixed hardwoods in various stages of growth as well as and typical wooded wetland species located through out the flood plain. The Town of Williamston was recently issued CAMA Major Pen-nit No. 110-06 for the construction of a boardwalk, access platforms and a floating dock that will also be associated with this proposed development. The US Highway 17 bridge is located on the eastern (downstream) property. The Environmental Management Commission classifies the waters of the Roanoke River in this area as class C waters. This area of the Roanoke River is not open to shell fishing and is not a primary nursery, but represents a critical section of one of the State's most significant connnercial and recreational anadromous fish habitats. Project description The applicant proposes to modify the current design of the Williamston Boating Access area to allow boats to be launched and/or loaded more efficiently and to provide more parking area. The following is proposed: 1. The existing boat ramp will be removed. The applicant proposes to construct a two 16' (32' total boat ramp width) wide concrete boat ramps with an 8' wide by 73' long floating dock separating the two ramps. Approximately 106 yds3 of river bottom will be excavated to create the proper slope for the boat ramp, which will extend ±80' into the river from Normal Water Level (NWL). A concrete apron will extend approximately 67' landward of the NWL. Additionally the applicant is proposing a 6' wide by 73' long pier and a 6' wide by 32' long pier on the upstream side of the proposed boat ramp. 2. Two 72' long vinyl groins will be constructed on either side of the boat ramp. Riprap will be used to armor these two groins. The upstream riprap will extend 52' waterward with a base width of 15' and the downstream riprap will extend 25' waterward and have a base width of 9'. All of the proposed structures below the NWL appear to be angled in a downstream manner. 3. The existing gravel parking area will be graded and paved. Approximately 53,250 ft2 (1.22 acres) of uplands will be disturbed for the access road, maneuvering and parking area. Anticipated Impacts The construction of the boat ramp and the placement of riprap groins will result in the filling of ±3,565 ft2 of river bottom. The proposed floating dock and fixed dock will shade ±1,190 ft 2 of river bottom. Approximately 53,250 ft2 of high ground will be disturbed during construction of the boat ramp, access road, maneuvering, and parking area. The proj ect will result in localized short-term turbidity from the construction of the boat ramp, floating dock, fixed docks and groins.
