Reference: Construction of Bridge iJo. 15 on SR 1106 (Moore's
Pond Road) in Franklin County. D~4Q Project No. 051090 (dated
3/9/06)
Rob,
The Department is currently constructing this bridge project in
Franklin County. Construction of a 50 ft special lateral grass
Swale (Detail D) was to occur at 23+50 to 24+00 Lt. However,
construction forces encountered a shallow vein of granite in the
footprint of this grass Swale. This makes construction of the
grass Swale impossible. There are only a few options:
1. Overexcavate the granite and backfill with soil in an attempt
to construct the grass Swale.
-This will not work as numerous attempts have been made to
overexcavate the granite with no success. The rock is too hard
cannot be broke up.
2. Install a shallow layer of soil over the granite and attempt
to get a stand of vegetation.
-This will not work as the soil will wash away during the
first rain event.
3. Install a rip rap-lined ditch in the footprint of the grass
Swale.
-This will provide long-term stability at the site.
Unfortunately, the construction of this
rap-lined ditch will not provide the treatment of stormwater
runoff at the site.
I have discussed the situation with the resident engineer and the
hydro engineer for the project. :hey suggest that the rip
rap-lined ditch is the only feasible situation. A level spreader
cannot be constructed due to the existing topography at the
site. The attached photographs depict the location of the site
(23+50 to 24+00 Lt) and the granite located in the footprint of
the Swale.
Please let me know if Option 3 can be approved by your office.

The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated received October 28, 2005. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that the stream impacts and riparian buffer impacts described are
covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3366 and 3403. This certification corresponds to the
Nationwide Permit 33 and the Nationwide Permit 23 issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid
for the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local
permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-
Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying 404 permit,
unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification.

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below).
Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the
new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying
with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total
impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 1501inear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the
conditions listed in the attached certification.
1.) Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of
Completion Form" to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. The
responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of
Water Quality upon completion of the project.
2.) All stormwater runoff shall be directed to sheetflow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless
approved otherwise by this certification.
3.) During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
riparian buffers.
4.) The dimension, pattern'~nd profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified by
widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be
restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
5.) Any riprap used must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow
conditions.
6.) All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
7.) Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface
waters is prohibited.
8.) The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this
authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts
to areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
9.) There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or borrow sites be located in wetlands or
stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is a direct impact from road construction activities.
10.) Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
11.) Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below the elevation
of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the
culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and
aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control
measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide
evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ.
12.) If the above condition (#11) is unable to be met, due to bedrock or other limiting 'features encountered during
construction, please contact the NCDWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a
permit modification will be required.

13.) No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened
14.) The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. No rock, sand or other materials shall lie
dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this certification.
15.) All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions.
16.) All fill slopes located. in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1.
17.) A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be posted on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division
Engineer and the on-site project manager.
18.) All riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be restored to the
preconstruction contours and revegated. Maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated with non-woody
species by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. For the purpose of this
condition, maintained buffer areas are defined as areas within the transportation corridor that will be subject to
regular DOT maintenance activities including mowing. The area with non-maintained buffers shall be
permanently revegetat~d, with native woody species before the next growing season following completion of
construction.
19.) Pursuant to NCAC 15A 2B.0233(6) sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any
Neuse Buffer without prior approval by the NCDWQ. At this time, the NCDWQ has approved no sediment and
erosion control devices in Zone 1, outside of the approved project impacts, anywhere on this project. Moreover,
sediment and erosion control devices shall be allowed in Zone 2 of the buffers provided that Zone 1 is not
compromised and that discharge is released as diffuse flow.
20.) Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper
design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect
surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures
must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the
North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all
construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased
borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated,
and maintained. in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining
Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with
the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
21.) The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures will need to return the project site to its
preconstruction contours and elevations. The revegetation of the impacted areas with appropriate native species
is required.
22.) If the old bridge is removed, no discharge of bridge material into surface waters is preferred. Strict adherence
the Corps of Engineers guidelines for bridge demolition will be a condition of the 401 Water Quality
Certification.

23.) For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr),
High Quality Waters (HQW), or Water Supply I or II (WSI, WSII) stormwater shall be directed to vegetated
buffer areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating storm
water runoff, and must not be routed directly into streams without proper stormwater treatment as asserted
above. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm
water sheet flow.
24.) The NCDOT shall strictly adhere to sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices as described for
High Quality Waters entitled "Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds" (15A NCAC 04B .0124) throughout
design and construction of the project.
Project Specific Conditions:
25.) NCDOT will adhere to a moratorium on clearing and grubbing work 50 feet from top of the stream bank
between November 15 and April 1 for the Tar spinymussel and Dwarf wedgemussel, as requested by the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service.
26.) NCDOT must adhere to a moratorium for instream work due to anadromous fish if all three dams located below
this project, Lowell Mill, Atkinson Mill, and Mitchell Mill, are amended or breached during construction.
,~ -
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must
act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition that conforms
to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447,

with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total .-
impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the
conditions listed in the attached certification.
1.) Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclos2cl "Certification of
Completion Form" to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. The
responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of
Water Quality upon completion of the project.
2.) All stormwater runoff shall be directed to sheettlow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless
approved otherwise by this certification.
3.) During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
riparian buffers.
4.) The dimension, pattern~and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified by
widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be
restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
5.) Any riprap used must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow
conditions.
6.) All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
7.) Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface
waters is prohibited.
8.) The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this
authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts
to areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
9.) There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or borrow sites be located in wetlands or
stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is a direct impact from road construction activities.
10.) Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
11.) Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below the elevation
of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the
culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and
aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control
measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide
evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ.
12.) If the above condition (#12) is unable to be met, due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during
construction, please contact the NCDWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a
permit modification will be required.

13.) No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened
14.) The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock, sand or
other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit, except in the
immediate vicinity of the culverts.
15.) All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions.
16.) All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1.
17.) A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be posted on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division
Engineer and the on-site project manager.
18.) All riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be restored to the
preconstruction contours and revegatation. Maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated with non-
woody species by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. For the purpose of this
condition, maintained buffer areas are defined as areas within the transportation corridor that will be subject to
regular DOT maintenance activities including mowing. The area with non-maintained buffers shall be
permanently revegetated, with native woody species before the next growing season following completion of
construction.
19.) Pursuant to NCAC 15A 2B.0233(6) sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any
Neuse Buffer without prior approval by the NCDWQ. At this time, the NCDWQ has approved no sediment and
erosion control devices in Zone 1, outside of the approved project impacts, anywhere on this project. Moreover,
sediment and erosion control devices shall be allowed in Zone 2 of the buffers provided that Zone 1 is not
compromised and that discharge is released as diffuse flow.
20.) Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper
design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect
surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures
must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the
North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all
construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased
borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated,
and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining
Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with
the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
21.) The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures will need to return the project site to its
preconstruction contours and elevations. The revegetation of the impacted areas with appropriate native species
is required.
22.) If the old bridge is removed, no discharge of bridge material into surface waters is preferred. Strict adherence
the Corps of Engineers guidelines for bridge demolition will be a condition of the 401 Water Quality
Certification.

23.) For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr),
High Quality Waters (HQW), or Water Supply I or II (WSI, WSII) stormwater shall be directed to vegetated
buffer areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating storm
water runoff, and must not be routed directly into streams without proper stormwater treatment as asserted
above. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm
water sheet flow.
24.) The NCDOT shall strictly adhere to sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices as described for
High Quality Waters entitled "Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds" (15A NCAC 04B .0024) throughout
design and construction of the project.
Project Specific Conditions:
25.) NCDOT will adhere to a moratorium on clearing and grubbing work 50 feet from top of the stream bank
between November 15 and April 1 for the Tar spinymussel and Dwarf wedgemussel, as requested by the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service.
26.) NCDOT must adhere to a moratorium for instream work due to anadromous fish if all three dams located below
this project, Lowell Mills Atkinson Mill, and Mitchell Mill, are amended or breached during construction.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must
act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition that conforms
to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447,
Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.

I'm trying to recall from memory our conversation, I thought the condition
was to adher to the moratorium pending Dam removals or fish passage
structures. We know Lowell Mill is gone, however there was/is a possiblity
the other two dams could be breached or amended for fish passage before DOT
constructs the project, since it is not uncommon for comments to be given
5-6 years prior to construction. I agree if the dams are in place as is
during time of construction, WRC does not recommend an instream work
moratorium for anadromous fish.

Hi Travis,
In April, I had sent you and email regarding your comment on the
instream moratorium for anadromous fish in the project area
(see attached email). You recommended to keep the instream work
moratorium for the protection of anadromous fish in this area. Since
this time
NCDOT has researched Little River below the project area. It has been
brought to our attention that there are 3 dams located below our project
on the Little River.

* Lowell Mill Dam located near I -95 in Johnston County. Lowell
Mill is scheduled to be removed in fall of 2006 and a 2005 survey by the
Catena Group found shad below the dam and not above. Presently this
project will LET in June 2006.
* Atkinson Mill Dam located near Hwy 42 and Hwy 39 in Johnston
County,
* Mitchell Mill Dam located near the Mitchell Mill State Natural
Area in Wake County. The Natural Area also has granite rock formations
over which the Little River flows.
Due to this information, NCDOT does not believe a moratorium for
instream work due to anadromous fish is warranted. This
project does have a moratorium for this project for clearing and
grubbing work from November 15 -April 1 for the Tar
spinymussel and the Dwarf wedgemussel. If you have any question or need
additional information please let me know.

Anadromous fish are dependent on stream flow this high in the watershed;
therefore I can not determine future presence or absence.

Hi Travis,
I have a PCE (2/2004) document for a bridge replacement over Little
River on Moore's Pond Rd in Franklin County. In the additional
documentation section there is a comment that stated "The North Carolina
Wildlife Resource Commission stated that the Little River has the
potential for supporting anadromous fish". An instream moratorium is
required. Can you comment for sure that there are anadromous fish or are

banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide
evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ.

24.) For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout (Tr),
High Quality Waters (HQW), or Water Supply I or II (WSI, WSII) stormwater shall be directed to vegetated
buffer areas, grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating storm
water runoff, and must not be routed directly into streams without proper stormwater treatment as asserted
above. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged, so that they may be utilized for storm
water sheet flow.
25.) The NCDOT shall strictly adhere to sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices as described for
High Quality Waters entitled "Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds" (15A NCAC 04B .0024) throughout

ATTN: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer
NCDOT Coordinator
Subject: Nationwide 23 and 33 Permit Application and Riparian Buffer Certification
for the Replacement of Bridge No. 15 on SR 1106 over the Little River in
Franklin County. State Project No. 8.2360707, Federal Aid Project No. BRZ-
1106 (3), WBS Element 33468.1.1, Division 5, TIP No. B-4113.
Dear Sir:
Please find enclosed three copies of the Programmatic Categorical Exclusion (PCE) Document,
Natural Resource Technical Report (NRTR), North Carolina Ecosystem and Enhancement .
Program (EEP) acceptance letter, pre-construction notification, project commitments,
permit drawings, and design plan sheets. The project involves replacing Bridge No. 15, a 60-foot
structure, with a 135-foot bridge at approximately the same location. The bridge crosses Little
River just east of Moore's Pond Dam and northeast of junction NC 98 and NC 96. The proposed
bridge will consist of two spans. Bridge No. 15 will be widened from 25 feet to 39 feet to
accommodate a travel path of 24 feet with offsets of 6 feet on each side. A workpad will provide
construction access for construction of the drilled shafts for center for the new bridge. The
workpads will be built using Class II riprap. Traffic will be detoured offsite along surrounding
roads during construction
IMPACTS TO WATEILS OF TIIE UNTTED STATES
The Little River is located within the Neuse River Basin (sub-basin 03-04-06) within HUC
03020201. Little River is the only water resource in the project area and is a perennial, piedmont
stream with very low flow over a silty and muddy substrate with an approximate width of 52 feet.
The North Carolina Division of Water Quality has assigned this section of Little River DWQ
Index No. 25-57-(1) and a best usage classification of WS-II HQW NSW.

Permanent Impacts
The new structure for Bridge No. 15 will span Little River. There will be no bents in the water.
Replacement of Bridge No. 15 and will result in permanent riverine wetland impacts of 0.03
acres. Impacts for wetlands at Site 1 and Site 2 are from mechanized clearing and approach fill
and wetland impacts at Site 3 are from mechanized clearing for bridge. As proposed in the
project commitments Design Standards for Sensitive Watersheds along with the NCDOT
Roadside Environmental Unit provision for Environmentally Sensitive Areas will be utilized.
Temporary Impacts
Temporary impacts from this project consist of 0.01 acres of temporary fill in the Little River.
Impacts stem from a workpad that will be used to construct the middle bent of the new bridge.
The workpad is not required for removal of the existing interior bent since it consists of timber
piles, which can be cut off at the mud line. Please refer to Permit Drawing Sheet 4 entitled
Workpad Impact.
Buffer Impacts
As previously noted, this project is located in the Neuse River Basin. Therefore, the regulations
pertaining to the buffer rules apply. Buffer impacts associated with this project total 8,581
square feet (0.20 acres) for Zone 1 and 5401 square feet (0.12 acres) for Zone 2. Impacts occur
as a result of water treatment mechanisms.
Water Treatment Mechanisms
• In the southwest quadrant water, is treated by a Swale since the topography of the area does
not lend itself to the use of a level spreader. The treated water is then conveyed through the
buffer zones to Little River by means of a 2-foot base ditch. The base ditch will be a more
suitable conveyance mechanism than allowing water to sheet flow over the buffer zones and
possibly cause erosion/sediment transport into Little River.
• In the northeast and northwest quadrants water is treated by swales since the topography of
the area dots not lend itself to the use of a level spreaders. However the northwest Swale
terminates prior to entering buffer zone 1 and the wetland.
All practicable measures to minimize impacts within buffer zones were followed. Measures
used to minimize impacts to the buffer zone include using the current alignment. According to
the buffer rules, bridges arc ALLOWABLE. Uses designated as allowable may proceed within
the riparian buffer provided that there are no practical alternatives to the requested use
pursuant to Item (8) of this Rule. These uses require written authorization from the Division
of Water Quality or the delegated local authority.
Utility Impacts
Utility impacts will be incurred in the buffer zone east of Bridge No. 15 on both sides of the
stream. The impacts are a result of hand clearing for the placement of aerial power line that will
cross the stream. The non-mechanized clearing area is less than 1461inear feet. Overhead electric
utility line perpendicular crossings of streams that disturb equal to or less than 150 linear feet of
riparian buffer are exempt according to the buffer rules. Therefore, no buffer certification is
needed and no mitigation is proposed.
Bridge Demolition
Bridge No. 15 was built in 1961. It is a two-span structure that is 25 feet long and 39 feet wide.
The superstructure consists of timber floor on steel I-beams. The end bents are timber bulkheads
and the interior bent has timber caps and piles. Best Management Practices for Bridge
Demolition and Removal will be implemented during the demolition and construction of both
bridges.
Page 2 B-4113

Restoration Plan -
Removal and Disposal Plan: The contractor will be required to submit a reclamation plan for the
removal of and disposal of all material off-site at an upland location. The contractor will use
excavation equipment for removal of any earthen material. Ileavy-duty trucks, dozers, cranes
and various other pieces of mechanical equipment necessary for construction of roadways and
bridges will be used on site. All material placed in the stream will be removed from the stream at
that time. The contractor will have the option of reusing any of the materials that the engineer
deems suitable in the construction of project. After tl~e erosion control devices are no longer
needed, all temporary materials will become the property of the contractor.
Following construction of the bridge, all material used in the construction of the structure will be
removed. The existing approach fill will be removed to natural grade and the area will be re-
vegetated according to NCDOT guidelines. Class I riprap and filter fabric will be used for bank ~ -
stabilization. Pre-project elevations will be restored.
Schedule: At this time the project is schedule to let on June 20, 2006 with a date of availability of
August 1, 2006. It is expected that the contractor will choose to start construction in August.
MITIGATION OPTIONS
Despite the minimization strategies employed for the proposed project, the resulting permanent
wetland impacts will be 0.03 acres. Consequently, the project will require compensatory
mitigation.
Avoidance, Minimization, and Mitigation: The NCDOT is cornnutted to incorporating all
reasonable and practicable design features to avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts, and to
provide full compensatory mitigation of all remaining, unavoidable jurisdictional impacts.
Avoidance measures were taken during the planning and NEPA compliance stages; minimization
measures were incorporated as part of the project design.
According to the Clean Water Act (CWA) §404(b)(1) guidelines, NCDOT must avoid, minimize,
and mitigate, in sequential order, impacts to waters of the US. The following is a list of the
project's jurisdictional stream avoidance/minunization activities proposed or completed by
NCDOT:
Avoidance/Niinimization:
The new bridge will not have bents located in the water (see Bridge Survey Report drawing).
The new bridge will be 75 feet longer than the existing bridge.
Limited instream activity
An offsite detour will be used.
Design Standards for Sensitive Watersheds and the Environmental Sensitive Areas Provision
implementation.
There is a moratorium on clearing and grubbing work 50 feet out from top of the stream bank
between November 15 and April 1.
Based on the above considerations, it is determined that there is no practicable alternative to the
proposed construction in jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. and that the proposed action includes
all practicable methods to avoid and/or minimize jurisdictional wetland impacts that may result
from such use.
Page 3 B11113

COMPENSATION: The primary emphasis of the compensatory mitigation is to reestablish a
condition that would have existed if the project were not built. As previously stated, mitigation
is limited to reasonable expenditures and practicable considerations related to highway operation.
Mitigation is generally accomplished through a combination of methods designed to replace
stream loss as a result of construction of the project.
North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) will assume responsibility for satisfying
the federal Clean Water Act compensatory mitigation requirements for NCDOT in accordance
with the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed July 22, 2003 by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USAGE), the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR) and the NCDOT.
Compensatory mitigation to offset unavoidable impacts to waters that are jurisdictional under the -
federal Clean Water Act will be provided by the EEP. An acceptance letter dated September 20,
2005 from EEP is attached. The offsetting mitigation will derive from an inventory of assets
already in existence within the same 8-digit cataloguing unit. The Department has avoided and
minimized impacts to jurisdictional resources to the greatest extent possible as described above.
The unavoidable permanent impacts to 0.03 acres of a jurisdictional wetland will be offset by
compensatory mitigation provided by the EEP program.
FEDERALLY-PROTECTED SPECIES
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Proposed
Endangered (PE), Proposed Threatened (PT), are protected under provisions of Section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of January 29, 2003 the United States Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists four federally protected species for Franklin County. Table 1
lists these species and their federal status.

A biological conclusion of "May Affect Not Likely to Adversely Affect" was given for the dwarf
wedgemussel and Tar spinymussel based on a survey conducted on July 9, 2002 where potential
habitat was identified, but no dwarf wedgemussels or Tar spinymussels were found (see
attachment August 12, 2002). However, the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP)
database (last updated on March 31, 2005) lists a known location of dwarf wedgemussel
approximately eight river miles downstream. Concurrence has been given by the USFWS for
these two species of mussels (sec attachment January 3, 2003). Apre-construction survey will be
scheduled and performed 1 - 2 months prior to let by NCDOT Natural Environment Unit. A
biological conclusion of "No Effect" was given for Micltaux's sumac based on survey conducted
on July 1, 2004. Although suitable habitat was present within the project area, no individuals of
Michaux's sumac were observed. Additionally a review of the Natural Heritage Program
Page 4 B-4113

database revealed no occurrences of federally protected species within 1.0 mile of the project
study area.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service has requested a moratorium on clearing and
grubbing work 50 feet out from top of the stream bank between November 15 and April 1 for the
Tar spinymussel and the Dwarf wedgemussel. Also, in the NRTR a statement error was made in
regards to a recommended moratorium by North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF).
Fritz Rhode (DMF) was contacted on April 14, 2005 and confirmed that this project is not in his
jurisdiction, therefore there is not a moratorium from DMF on in-water work. NCDOT is not
proposing the moratorium for instream work due to anadromous fish that was mentioned in the
PCE due to the 3 dams located below this project on the Little River: Lowell Mill, Atkinson Mill,
and Mitchell Mill. Travis Wilson of NCWRC agreed as long as the dams are in place during
construction. Currently, only Lowell Mill is scheduled to be removed in fall of 2006. - ~ - - -

riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: See cover letter
Page 7 of 12

2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,

local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Mininuzation)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. See cover letter.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
Page 9 of 12

freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and• Modification of
Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be
required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal.
Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the
impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and
practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and
practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and
maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and
replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or
preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm ~ide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Mitigation is proposed for 0.03 acres of riverine wetland and provided by EEP
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:

Dear Ms. Capps:
This letter is in response to your letter of December 19, 2002, which provided the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service) with the biological conclusion of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) that the replacement of Bridge No. 15 on SR 1106 over Little River in
Franklin County (TIP No. B-4113) is not likely to adversely affect the federally-endangered
dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) and the Tar spinymussel (Elliptio steinsttvisanu).
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 you submitted, a mussel survey was conducted at the project site
on July 9, 2002. The survey extended 250 feet upstream and 200 feet downstream of SR 1106.
Neither of the federally listed species was found within the surveyed area. However, the dwarf
wedge mussel has been found approximately eight miles downstream in the Little River at the
SR 2308 crossing.
several environmental commitments are listed in an August 12, 2002, memo, from Jeffrey
Burleson to Bill Goodwin, which is attached to your letter. Based on the mussel survey results,
assuming that the channel will be completely spanned, and provided that the NCDOT adheres to
the stated environmental commitments, the Service concurs with the conclusion that the
proposed bridge replacement is not likely to adversely affect the dwarf wedge mussel and Tar
spinymussel. 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.

For future aquatic surveys, the Service asks that each survey be conducted a minimum of 400
meters downstream and 100 meters upstream of the project's work limits, with the exception of
areas with the obvious lack of habitat. The Service appreciates the opportunity to review this
project. If you have any questions regarding our response, please contact Mr. Gary Jordan at
[phone] (Ext. 32).

MEMORANDUM TO:
FROM:
Bill Goodwin, Unit Head
Project Planning Engineering Unit
Jeffrey Burleson, Environmental Biologist
Office of the Natural Environment
SUBJECT: Protected species survey report for the Tar spinymussel (Elliptio
steinstansana) and dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon)
for replacement of Bridge No. 15 on SR 1106 over the Little River;
Franklin County: Federal Aid Project No. BRZ-1106(3), State
Project No. 8.2360701; TIP Project No. B-4113.
ATTENTION: Karen Capps, Project Planning Engineer
Project Planning Engineering Unit
The following memorandum addresses the Tar spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana) and
dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmido~tta heterodon), federally protected species listed by the US Fish
and Wildlife Service for Franklin County. Potential habitat was identified in the Little River for
these mussels. A mussel survey was conducted on July 9, 2002 by NCDOT biologists, Jeffrey
Burleson and Tim Howell. The Little River at the SR 1106 crossing is 3-4 feet deep, ponded, and
dingy. The channel was approximately 11 meters wide with unconsolidated sediment substrate.
During the 1.0 man-hour mussel survey, thirty minutes of SCUBA and thirty minutes of tactile
search methods were used. After an extensive search (from 200 feet below bridge to 250 feet
above bridge to dam), three live mussel specimens were found, including one eastern floater
(Pyganadon cataracta) and two pond papershells (Utterbackia imbecillis). Several remnant
shells of these two species were also found.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: not likely to adversely affect
Given the survey results, it is apparent that neither dwarf wedgemussel nor Tar
spinymussel occur in the project footprint. However, the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program lists a known location of dwarf wedgemussel approximately eight "river miles"

downstream in the Little River at the-SR 2308 crossing. There is not an impounded reach of the
Little River between the subject project and the SR 2308 crossing; therefore, dwarf
wedgemussels may occur downstream within the vicinity of the project crossing. Project
activities could potentially alter downstream habitat and promote "take" of freshwater mussels;
thus, precautions must be taken to prevent harm to downstream populations of dwarf
wedgemussels.
Judith Johnson, with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, concurred with the "not
likely to adversely affect"conclusion on July 30, 2002 as long as the following conditions are
adhered to by the contractor (per a-mail, July 30 ,2002). These conditions should be followed in
order to protect downstream populations of dwarf wedgemussel on the Little River and its
tributaries. As long as the conditions are followed, it can be corxcluded that project construction
is "not likely to adversely affect" these species.
Environmental Conditions:
1. There will be a moratorium on clearing and grubbing-no work between November 15
and April 1
2. Weep holes shall be configured so that the run-off does not fall into the stream.
3. NCDOT resident engineer is responsible or providing a written invitation to the
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, Nongame and Protected Species
Branch, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service prior to construction.
4. The erosion control plans for Protected Aquatic Species must be used. These plans
include the following requirements:
o Sediment and Erosion controls must be in place prior to land clearing activities. No
sediment from either, bridge demolition or construction activities, shall be allowed to
enter the flowing stream.
• "Environmentally Sensitive Areas" will be defined on the plans, which consist of a 50-
foot buffer zone on both sides of the stream.
• The Contractor may perform clearing operations, but not grubbing operations in the
"Environmentally Sensitive Areas", until immediately prior to beginning grading
operations.
o Once grading operations begin in "Environmentally Sensitive Areas", as specified on the
plans, work will progress in a continuous manner until complete.
• Seeding and mulching will be performed immediately following final grade
establishment.
• Stage seeding will be performed on cut and fill slopes as grading progresses.

CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION ACTION CLASSIFICATION FORM
TIP Project No. B-4113
State Project No. 8.2360701
WBS # 33468.1.1
Federal Project No. BRZ-1106(3)
A.

Proiect Description:
This project proposes to replace Bridge No. 15 on SR 1106 over Little River in
Franklin County. The bridge will be replaced with an 80-foot long bridge in
approximately the same location and roadway elevation as the existing bridge.
The cross section of the new bridge will include two 12-foot lanes with 3-foot
offsets. Approach work will consist of resurfacing and tying into the existing
alignment for approximately 500 feet on either side of the new bridge. Guardrail
will be installed where warranted. Traffic will be detoured along surrounding
roads during construction.
Purpose and Need:
Bridge No. 15 has a sufficiency rating of 45.6 out of a possible 100. The bridge
is posted at 12 tons for single vehicles and 17 tons TTST's and is therefore
structurally deficient. With a current ADT of 1000 vpd and a projected ADT in
2025 of 2000 vpd, the transportation needs of the area would be best served by
replacing the bridge.
Proposed Improvements:
The following Type II improvements which apply to the project are circled:
1. Modernization of a highway by resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation,
reconstruction, adding shoulders, or adding auxiliary lanes (e.g., parking,
weaving, turning, climbing).
a. Restoring, Resurfacing, Rehabilitating, and Reconstructing pavement (3R
and 4R improvements)
b. Widening roadway and shoulders without adding through lanes
c. Modernizing gore treatments
d. Constructing lane improvements (merge, auxiliary, and turn lanes)
e. Adding shoulder drains
f. Replacing and rehabilitating culverts, inlets, and drainage pipes, including
safety treatments
g. Providing driveway pipes
h. Performing minor bridge widening (less than one through lane)
i. Slide Stabilization
j. Structural BMP's for water quality improvement
2. Highway safety or traffic operations improvement projects including the
installation of ramp metering control devices and lighting.
a. Installing ramp metering devices
b. Installing lights

c. Adding or upgrading guardrail
d. Installing safety barriers including Jersey type barriers and pier protection
e. Installing or replacing impact attenuators
f. Upgrading medians including adding or upgrading median barriers
g. Improving intersections including relocation and/or realignment
h. Making minor roadway realignment
i. Channelizing traffic
j. Performing clear zone safety improvements including removing hazards
and flattemng slopes
k. Implementing traffic aid systems, signals, and motorist aid
1. Installing bridge safety hardware including bridge rail retrofit
O3. Bridge rehabilitation, reconstruction, or replacement or the construction of grade
separation to replace existing at-grade railroad crossings.
a. Rehabilitating, reconstn~cting, or replacing bridge approach slabs
b. Rehabilitating or replacing bridge decks
c. Rehabilitating bridges including painting (no red lead paint), scour repair,
fender systems, and minor structural improvements
O Replacing a bridge (structure and/or fill)
4. Transportation corridor fringe parking facilities.
5. Construction of new truck weigh stations or rest areas.
6. Approvals for disposal of excess right-of--way or for joint or limited use of right-
of-way, where the proposed use does not have significant adverse impacts.
7. Approvals for changes in access control.
8. Construction of new bus storage and maintenance facilities in areas used
predominantly for industrial or transportation purposes where such construction is
not inconsistent•with existing zoning and located on or near a street with adequate
capacity to handle anticipated bus and support vehicle traffic.
9. Rehabilitation or reconstruction of existing rail and bus buildings and ancillary
facilities where only minor amounts of additional land are required and there is
not a substantial increase in the number of users.
10. Construction of bus transfer facilities (an open area consisting of passenger
shelters, boazding areas, kiosks and related street improvements) when located in
a commercial azea or other high activity center in which there is adequate street
capacity for projected bus traffic.
11. Construction of rail storage and maintenance facilities in areas used
predominantly for industrial or transportation purposes where such construction is
not inconsistent with existing zoning and where there is no significant noise
impact on the surrounding community.
12. Acquisition of land for hazdship or protective purposes, advance land acquisition
loans under section 3(b) of the UMT Act. Hardship and protective buying will be
permitted only for a particular parcel or a limited number of parcels. These types
of land acquisition qualify for a CE~only where the acquisition will not limit the
evaluation of alternatives, including shifts in alignment for planned construction
2

projects, which may be required in the NEPA process. No project development
on such land may proceed until the NEPA process has been completed.
13. Acquisition and construction of wetland, stream and endangered species
mitigation sites.
14. Remedial activities involving the removal, treatment or monitoring of soil
or groundwater contamination pursuant to state or federal remediation
guidelines.
D. Special Project Information:
Estimated Costs:
Total Construction $ 625,000
Right of Way $ 74,500
Total $ 700,000
Estimated Traffic:
Current - 1000 vph
Year 2025 - 2000 vph
TTST -1%
Dual - 2%
Detour Length:
2.9 miles (4.7 km)
Proposed Approach Roadway Typical Section:
The existing approach roadways will be widened to two 12-foot lanes with six-foot grass
shoulders. The shoulders will be widened to nine feet where guardrail is required.
Design Speed:
60 mph (96.6 kmh)
Tunctional Classification:
Rural Local Route
Division Office Comments:
Division Five Construction Office concurs with replacing the existing bridge in the existing
location and maintaining traffic with an offsite detour.
Bridge Demolition:
Bridge No. 15 is composed of timber flooring on steel I-beams, timber bulkheads, caps, and
piles. Therefore, there is no resulting temporary fill associated with Bridge No. 15.
3

Alternatives Eliminated from Further Study:
The "no-build" alternative is not feasible. Continued deterioration of the bridge and further
reduction of the allowable load limits would hamper local traffic in this area. Eventually, the
bridge would have to be closed. This is not acceptable due to the amount of traffic that is served
bythe bridge.
Rehabilitation of the existing structure is not feasible due to the existing timber substructure.
The use of a temporary, on-site detour is not practical at this location. The onsite detour would
be more costly and increase the environmental impacts on the project. The estimated time of
delay to local citizens is two minutes, which is in the acceptable range outlined in the "Draft
NCDOT Guidelines for Evaluation of Offiste Detours."

2. On July 9, 2002, a mussel survey was conducted by NCDOT biologists, Jeffery
Burleson and Tim Howell. A biological conclusion of "not likely to adversely
affect" was rendered. Judith Johnson, NCWRC, and~Gary Jordan, USFWS,
concur with the "not likely to adversely affect" conclusion provided certain
environmental commitments are adhered to. These commitments are outlined in
the memo from Jeffrey Burleson to Bill Goodwin, dated August 12, 2002 and
attached to this document. The environmental commitments have been added to
the Project Commitments.
3. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission stated that the Little River
has the potential for supporting anadromous fish. Therefore, an in stream
moratorium will be required from February 15 to June 15. The "Stream Crossing
Guidelines for Anadromous Fish Passage" must also be adhered to during
construction.
7. NCDOT has investigated avoiding and minimizing impacts to the High Quality
Water resource associated with the proposed project. The resource cannot be
totally avoided because the project is a bridge replacement. However,'the project
proposes to minimize impacts by replacing the bridge in approximately the same
location and using anoff-site detour to maintain traffic. The proposed bridge will
be lengthened to avoid and minimize impacts to the riparian buffer zone. High
Quality Sedimentation and Erosion Control measures will be required on this
7

project. The Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules will be adhered to throughout
design and construction.

There are no known archaeological sites within the project area. Based on our knowledge of the area, it is
unlikely that any archaeological resources that may be eligible for conclusion in the National Register of
Historic Places will be affected by the project. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological
investigation be conducted in connection with this project.
Because the Department of Transportation is in the process of surveying and evaluating the National
Register eligibility of all of its concrete bridges, we are unable to comment on the National Register
eligibility of the subject bridge. Please contact Mary Pope Furr, in the Architectural History Section, to
determine if further study of the bridge is needed.

MEMORANDUM TO:
FROM:
Bill Goodwin, Unit Head
Project Planning Engineering Unit
Jeffrey Burleson, Environmental Biologist
Office of the Natural Environment
SUBJECT: Protected species survey report for the Tar spinymussel (Elliptio
steinstansana) and dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon)
for replacement of Bridge No. 15 on SR 1106 over the Little River;
Franklin County: Federal Aid Project No. BRZ-1106(3), State
Project No. 8.2360701; TIP Project No. B-4113.
ATTENTION: Karen Capps, Project Planning Engineer
Project Planning Engineering Unit
The following memorandum addresses the Tar spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana) and
dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), federally protected species listed by the US Fish
and Wildlife Service for Franklin County. Potential habitat was identified in the Little River for
these mussels. A mussel survey was conducted on July 9, 2002 by NCDOT biologists, Jeffrey
Burleson and Tim Howell. The Little River at the SR 1106 crossing is 3-4 feet deep, ponded, and
dingy. The channel was approximately 11 meters wide with unconsolidated sediment substrate.
During the 1.0 man-hour mussel survey, thirty minutes of SCUBA and thirty minutes of tactile
search methods were used. After an extensive search (from 200 feet below bridge to 250 feet
above bridge to dam), three live mussel specimens were found, including one eastern floater
(Pygariadon cataracts) and two pond papershells (Utterbackia imbecillis). Several remnant
shells of these two species were also found.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: not likely to adversely affect
Given the survey results, it is apparent that neither dwarf wedgemussel nor Tar
spinymussel occur in the project footprint. However, the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program lists a known location of dwarf wedgemussel approximately eight "river miles"

downstream in the Little River at the ~R 2308 crossing. There is not an impounded reach of the
Little River between the subject project and the SR 2308 crossing; therefore, dwarf
wedgemussels may occur downstream within the vicinity of the project crossing. Project
activities could potentially alter downstream habitat and promote "take" of freshwater mussels;
thus, precautions must be taken to prevent harm to downstream populations of dwarf '
wedgemussels.
Judith Johnson, with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, concurred with the "not
.likely to adversely affect" conclusion on July 30, 2002 as long as the following conditions are
adhered to by the contractor (per a-mail, July 30 ,2002). These conditions should be followed in
order to protect downstream populations of dwarf wedgemussel on the Little River and its
tributaries. As long as the conditions are followed, it can be concluded that project construction
is "not likely to adversely affect" these species.
Environmental Conditions:
1. There will be a moratorium on clearing and grubbing-no work between November 15
and April 1 .
2. Weep holes shall be configured so that the run-off does not fall into the stream.
3. NCDOT resident engineer is responsible or providing a written invitation to the
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, Nongame and Protected Species
Branch, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service prior to construction.
4. The erosion control plans for Protected Aquatic Species must be used. These plans
include the following requirements:
• Sediment and Erosion controls must be in place prior to land clearing activities. No
sediment from either, bridge demolition or construction activities, shall be allowed to
enter the flowing stream.
v "Environmentally Sensitive Areas" will be defined on the plans, which consist of a 50-
foot buffer zone on both sides of the stream.
~ The Contractor may perform clearing operations, but not grubbing operations in the
"Environmentally Sensitive Areas", until immediately prior to beginning grading
operations.
• Once grading operations begin in "Environmentally Sensitive Areas", as specified on the
plans, work will progress in a continuous manner until complete.
o Seeding and mulching will be performed immediately following final grade
establishment.
® Stage seeding will be performed on cut and fill slopes as grading progresses.

Dear Ms. Capps:
This letter is in response to your letter of December 19, 2002, which provided the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service) with the biological conclusion of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) that the replacement of Bridge No. 15 on SR 1106 over Little River in
Franklin County (TIP No. B-4113) is not likely to adversely affect the federally-endangered
dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmido~tta heterodon) and the Tar spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana).
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 you submitted,.a mussel survey was conducted at the project site
on July 9, 2002. The survey extended 250 feet upstream and 200 feet downstream of SR 1106.
Neither of the federally listed species was found within the surveyed area. However, the dwarf
wedge mussel has been found approximately eight miles downstream in the Little River at the
SR 2308 crossing.
Several environmental commitments are listed in an August 12, 2002, memo, from Jeffrey
Burleson to Bill Goodwin, which is attached to your letter. Based on the mussel survey results,
assuming that the channel will be completely spanned, and provided that the NCDOT adheres to
the stated environmental commitments, the Service concurs with the conclusion that the
proposed bridge replacement is not likely to adversely affect the dwarf wedge mussel and Tar
spinymussel. We believe that the requirements of section 7 (a)(2) df 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.

+r: .
For future aquatic surveys, the Service asks that each survey be conducted a minimum of 400
meters downstream and 100 meters upstream of the project's work limits, with the exception of
-- areas with the obvious lack of habitat. The Service appreciates the opportunity to review this
project. If you have any questions regarding our response, please contact Mr. Gary Jordan at
[phone] (Ext. 32).

33468.1.1, Division 5, TIP No. B-4113.
Dear Sir:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to replace Bridge No.15 in
Franklin County. The NCDOT proposes to conduct a geotecluucal investigation prior to
construction of new bridge. The bridge crosses Little River just cast of Moores Pond Dam and
northeast of junction NC 98 and NC 96. Construction of the replacement for Bridge No.15 is
scheduled to begin in February of 2006. Apre-construction notification form and permit
drawings are attached for your review.
Within the project area, the classification of Little River is "WS-II HQW NSW" according to the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ). Tlie Little River is located within the Neuse
River Basin (sub-basin 03-04-06) within HUC 03020101. Little River is the only water resource
in the project area and is a perennial, piedmont stream with very low flow over a silty and muddy
substrate with an approximate width of 52 feet.
The proposed structure is to be constructed in approximately the same location as the existing
bridge. Geotechnical investigations will necessitate up to 6 borings, two of which will be in
Little River. The 2 borings that will be in Little River will be drilled through the deck of the
existing bridge (see attached letter dated April 11, 2005). The temporary fill impacts in surface
waters that may occur for these two borings arc 4 ft2 each for a total disturbance area of 8 ft2.
The remaining 4 borings will be located within the Neuse Buffer area. The temporary buffer
impacts that may occur from these four borings total 16 ft2. Scientific investigations, such as
geoteclmical borings, for bridge projects within the Neuse Buffer Basin are considered exempt
from the Neuse Buffer Rule. Therefore, no buffer certification is needed and no mitigation is

proposed. All borings will fall within the footprint of the proposed structures. No borings will
be performed outside of the proposed construction limits or within any wetland boundaries.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has requested an in water work moratorium
from February 15°' to June 15~' for protection of anadromous fish. The United States Fish and
Wildlife Service has requested a moratorium on clearing and grubbing work between November
15 and April 1 for the Tar spinymussel (Ellrptio steirtstansa»a) and the Dwarf wedgemussel
(Alasmidonta hetcrodon).
The NCDOT anticipates that these activities will be authorized by Nationwide Permit No. 6.
NCDOT will follow the conditions set by a Natiomvide Permit No. 6 and by DWQ Water
Quality Certification #3494. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0501 (a), we are providing two
copies of this application to the NCDWQ for their records.

It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photob*raphs maybe included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: See cover letter
Pate 7 of 12

2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

Do any isolated waters exist on the property? ^ Yes ®No
Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and
the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE.
8. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ^ uplands ^ stream ^ wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. This ~eotech investigation is
checking for foundation issues such that future problems with structure stability are minimized.
VIII. Mitibation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
Page 9 of 12

freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that maybe appropriate and practicable include,
but arc not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stun ~;ide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
No mitigation is Rroposcd.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating

Project Number: 33468.1.1
TIP Number: B-4113
F.A. Number: BRZ-1106 (3)
County: Franklin
Project Description: Bridge No. 15 over the Little River on SR 1106
Subject: Information for permit request
LYNDO TIPPETT
SECRETARY
The Geotechnical Engineering Unit is in the process of planning a foundation investigation for
the above referenced project. A consultant will be conducting the investigation with a minimum
of 6 borings. Two of the borings will be performed within the Little River and will be drilled
though the bridge deck of the existing bridge. Four others will be drilled through the existing
roadway embankment. All six borings are shown on the attached plan sheets. The latitude and
longitude for the project can found in the PCN document attached. The proposed locations of
each boring are as follows...
Boring Designation Station Offset
EB1-A 24+10 18' Lt.
EB1-B 23+71 18' Rt.
B1-A 24+59 15' Lt.
61-B 24+21 15' Rt.
EB2-A 25+45 18' Lt.
EB2-B 25+06 18' Rt.
All borings will be drilled utilizing a drill mounted on an ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) or a Drill Truck.
The size of the borings are approximately 0.5ft (6 in.) in diameter. The area that may be
disturbed per boring (total of 6 borings) is estimated to be 4 Ftz, for a total disturbance area of
24 Ft2 (8ftZ in the creek). The consultant will use casing to advance the borings and rotary-

33468.1.1
B-4113
wash techniques while recirculating the drilling fluids between the mud tub and the inside of the
casing. This will isolate the drilling mud and cuttings and contain them in the boring and the
mud tub. The borings will be backfilled with the cuttings and then sealed with bentonite hole
plug. The excess drilling mud will be disposed of in the upland areas.
The field activities are expected to take 5 days total.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Cheryl
Youngblood at 250-4088.

Dear Mr. Alsmeyer:
NCDOT Office of Natural Environment has completed the delineation of "Waters of the United States,"
including wetlands for the above referenced bridge replacement project for the North Carolina Department
of Transportation (NCDOT). The Little River, a perennial stream, and three riverine wetlands were located
on the project site. After visiting the site with you on April 22 an additional wetland was added. This
wetland was delineated on April 14. The attached drawing has the location of all four wetlands as well as
the stream. Also, attached are the wetland forms for the additional wetland. The Office of Natural
Environment would like to request a jurisdictional determination of the wetland delineations. Please
contact us before May 9, 2005 if you would like to schedule a second field visit. The tentative letting date
is February 6, 2006.
If you have any questions, please contact Deanna Riffey [phone].
