Attention: Mr. Steve Lund
NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Catawba County, NC 127, from US 321 to SR 1184, Federal Aid Project
No. NHF-127(1), State Project No. 8.1792201, TIP No. U-253013.
Dear Sir:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to improve
NC 127 in Catawba County, from the US 321 /NC 127 interchange to SR 1184. This 1.4
mile project involves both widening the existing roadway of NC 127 and construction on
new location, including a new crossing of the Henry Fork River. A five lane curb and
gutter section is proposed. The project has a let date of February 2000.
NEPA Documentation
The proposed revision of NC 127 has been described in two environmental
documents. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) signed the Environmental
Assessment and Draft Section 4 (f) Evaluation for the project in September 1995. The
FHWA approved the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) in October 1996. The
FHWA signed the Final Section 4(f) Evaluation in August 1997. These documents
include studies that investigated impacts to natural systems and protected species. Copies
of each document have been provided to regulatory agencies involved in the permit
review process.
The NCDOT has reviewed the list of federally-protected species produced by the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service for Catawba County. The only species listed for this
?t

33
county at the completion of the environmental documents was dwarf flowered heartleaf
(Hexastylis naniflora). Since completion of the FONSI, no new species have been added
for this county (as of the May 13, 1999 listing).
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Impacts to waters of the United States cannot be avoided in order to construct the
proposed project. Project impacts to surface waters result from stream relocation, culvert
construction, and a new bridge crossing of the Henry Fork River. The project lies in the
Catawba River Basin (Hydrologic Catalog Unit 03050102). Road construction will result
in 0.19 acre of fill in surface water, 787 feet of impact to streams and 226 feet of stream
loss.
A field visit to determine the potential presence of wetlands in the project study
area was conducted in September 1997 by NCDOT biologists. Wetland delineations
were conducted using the field delineation methods outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. Based on this criteria, it was determined that
wetlands are not present in the project study area.
Table 1 summarizes impacts to surface waters that will occur at two sites. These
impacts are detailed in surface area impact, existing stream length impacted, relocated
stream length and stream loss.
Table 1. <Impacts to Waters of the United States associated with TIP No. U-2530B

Site Surface Area
Impact Existing Stream
Length Relocated Stream
Length
Stream Loss
1 0.07 acre 413 feet 223 feet 190 feet',,-
2 0.12 acre 374 feet 338 feet 36 feet
Total 0.19 acre 787 feet 561 feet 226 feet
Site 1 involves culvert construction and stream relocation. The existing culvert
will be removed, and a new culvert will be constructed. The existing stream is vegetated,
but is entrenched and scoured. Based on a field review, it appears that the area below the
existing culvert has been dredged and a levee established to contain the stream and inhibit
flooding.
The NCDOT has designed the relocation at Site 1 using natural stream channel
techniques. The stream banks will be vegetated. Based on the described impacts, the
NCDOT believes that this site can be authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide Permit
26.
Site 2 involves only stream relocation. The NCDOT has designed the relocation
at Site 2 using natural stream channel techniques. The stream banks will be vegetated.
Based on the described impacts, the NCDOT believes that this site can be authorized
under a Section 404 Nationwide Permit 26.

As mentioned previously, this project includes a new crossing of the Henry Fork
River. This bridge will not have any piles located in the river, nor necessitate a causeway
for bridge construction. A plan view of the proposed bridge has been attached. Based on
this information, the NCDOT believes that a Section 404 permit is not required.
Compensatory Mitigation
The impact associated with Site 1 will result in stream loss greater than 150 feet.
Therefore, the NCDOT must provide mitigation for this impact per the requirement of the
N. C. Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ). The total amount of compensatory
mitigation required for the project is 190 feet.
Based on existing conditions of the stream, the NCDOT proposes 1:1 mitigation
for the impact by contributing funds to the N. C. Wetland Restoration Program
(NCWRP) as compensation for this impact to a first order stream. The project is located
in the Catawba River Basin. The Catalog Unit for this impact area is 03050101. The
NCDOT requests that the NCWRP provide an acceptance letter to the USACE and the
NCDWQ stating that the NCWRP will provide mitigation for this impact.
Summary of Project Impacts
In summary, the project will result in the fill 0.19 acre of surface waters and the
impact of 787 feet of stream. Of this impact amount, 561 feet of stream will be relocated
using natural stream channel design techniques. There will be 226 feet of stream loss
from project construction. Compensatory mitigation for stream impacts totals 190 feet.
The NCDOT requests that the USACE issue a Section 404 Nationwide Permit 26
for the proposed road project. However, the NCDOT is concerned about the expiration
of this permit. Therefore, the NCDOT has included a application form for an Individual
Permit with this project. The NCDOT requests that the USACE use its discretion in
determining permit applicability for this project.
Application for 401 Water Quality Certification is also requested from the
NCDWQ. The NCDOT also asks that the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission
provides comments and a concurrence letter to the USACE since the project lies in a trout
county.
Thank you for your assistance with the project. If you have any questions or need
any additional information concerning this project, please contact Mr. Phillip Todd of my
staff at [phone], extension 314.

Attention: Mr. Steve Lund
NCDOT Coordinator
DAVID MCCOY
ACTING SECRETARY
Subject: Catawba County, NC 127, from US 321 to SR 1184, Federal Aid Project
No. NHF-127(1), State Project No. 8.179220 1, TIP No. U-253013.
Dear Sir:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to improve
NC 127 in Catawba County, from the US 321/NC 127 interchange to SR 1184. This 1.4
mile project involves both widening the existing roadway of NC 127 and construction on
new location, including a new crossing of the Henry Fork River. A five lane curb and
gutter section is proposed. The project has a let date of February 2000.
NEPA Documentation
The proposed revision of NC 127 has been described in two environmental
documents. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) signed the Environmental
Assessment and Draft Section 4 (f) Evaluation for the project in September 1995. The
FHWA approved the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) in October 1996. The
FHWA signed the Final Section 4(f) Evaluation in August 1997. These documents
include studies that investigated impacts to natural systems and protected species. Copies
of each document have been provided to regulatory agencies involved in the permit
review process.
The NCDOT has reviewed the list of federally-protected species produced by the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service for Catawba County. The only species listed for this
county at..h?tlptr 014tion of the environmental documents was dwarf flowered heartleaf
(Hexasty: a ?. Since completion of the FONSI, no new species have been added
for this c u?f?+?, ?fthe May 13, 1999 listing).
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Impacts to waters of the United States cannot be avoided in order to construct the
proposed project. Project impacts to surface waters result from stream relocation, culvert
construction, and a new bridge crossing of the Henry Fork River. The project lies in the
Catawba River Basin (Hydrologic Catalog Unit 03050102). Road construction will result
in 0.19 acre of fill in surface water, 787 feet of impact to streams and 226 feet of stream
loss.
A field visit to determine the potential presence of wetlands in the project study
area was conducted in September 1997 by NCDOT biologists. Wetland delineations
were conducted using the field delineation methods outlined in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. Based on this criteria, it was determined that
wetlands are not present in the project study area.
Table 1 summarizes impacts to surface waters that will occur at two sites. These
impacts are detailed in surface area impact, existing stream length impacted, relocated
stream length and stream loss.
Table 1. Impacts to Waters of the United States associated with TIP No. U-2530B

Site Surface Area
Impact Existing Stream
Length Relocated Stream
Length
Stream Loss
1 0.07 acre 413 feet 223 feet 190 feet
2 0.12 acre 374 feet 338 feet 36 feet
Total 0.19 acre 787 feet 561 feet 226 feet
Site 1 involves culvert construction and stream relocation. The existing culvert
will be removed, and a new culvert will be constructed. The existing stream is vegetated,
but is entrenched and scoured. Based on a field review, it appears that the area below the
existing culvert has been dredged and a levee established to contain the stream and inhibit
flooding.
The NCDOT has designed the relocation at Site 1 using natural stream channel
techniques. The stream banks will be vegetated. Based on the described impacts, the
NCDOT believes that this site can be authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide Permit
26.
Site 2 involves only stream relocation. The NCDOT has designed the relocation
at Site 2 using natural stream channel techniques. The stream banks will be vegetated.
Based on the described impacts, the NCDOT believes that this site can be authorized
under a Section 404 Nationwide Permit 26.

As mentioned previously, this project includes a new crossing of the Henry Fork
River. This bridge will not have any piles located in the river, nor necessitate a causeway
for bridge construction. A plan view of the proposed bridge has been attached. Based on
this information, the NCDOT believes that a Section 404 permit is not required.
Compensatory Mitigation
The impact associated with Site 1 will result in stream loss greater than 150 feet.
Therefore, the NCDOT must provide mitigation for this impact per the requirement of the
N. C. Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ). The total amount of compensatory
mitigation required for the project is 190 feet.
Based on existing conditions of the stream, the NCDOT proposes 1:1 mitigation
for the impact by contributing funds to the N. C. Wetland Restoration Program
(NCWRP) as compensation for this impact to a first order stream. The project is located
in the Catawba River Basin. The Catalog Unit for this impact area is 03050101. The
NCDOT requests that the NCWRP provide an acceptance letter to the USACE and the
NCDWQ stating that the NCWRP will provide mitigation for this impact.
Summary of Project Impacts
In summary, the project will result in the fill 0.19 acre of surface waters and the
impact of 787 feet of stream. Of this impact amount, 561 feet of stream will be relocated
using natural stream channel design techniques. There will be 226 feet of stream loss
from project construction. Compensatory mitigation for stream impacts totals 190 feet.
The NCDOT requests that the USACE issue a Section 404 Nationwide Permit 26
for the proposed road project. However, the NCDOT is concerned about the expiration
of this permit. Therefore, the NCDOT has included a application form for an Individual
Permit with this project. The NCDOT requests that the USACE use its discretion in
determining permit applicability for this project.
Application for 401 Water Quality Certification is also requested from the
NCDWQ. The NCDOT also asks that the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission
provides comments and a concurrence letter to the USACE since the project lies in a trout
county.
