Subject: Comments for -2541 and B-2542
Davidson County
The Division of Environmental Management is responsible for the issuance of the Section 401
Water Quality Certification for activities which impact of waters of the state including wetlands.
A major portion of the study area has been designated WS IV watershed. DEM requests that
hazardous spill catch basins be installed at all water supply stream crossings. The BMP for
the protection of surface waters requires DOT to install hazardous spill catch basins in water
supply critical areas. Other stream crossings may be outside of the critical area but DEM still
believes that hazardous spill catch basins at these locations will provide extra protection at
minimal cost. There may be locations where the hazardous spill catch basins cannot be
installed due to space limitations. DOT has informed DEM that the space limitations exist for
this project. Therefore, DOT requested that DEM concur with utilizing a berm instead of
hazardous spill catch basins. DEM does concur with DOT for this request. Bridge deck runoff
should not drain directly into the bodies of water.
All stream relocations should adhere to DOT's Stream Relocation/ Channelization guidelines.
DEM requests that DOT utilize HQW soil and erosion control measures to protect the water
supply.
Questions regarding the 401 Certification should be directed to Eric Galamb (733-1786) in
DEM's Water Quality Environmental Sciences Branch.

During the meeting, one alternative was identified for study. The
existing bridge will be replaced with a two barrel 10' x 10' reinforced
concrete box culvert. The culvert will be placed in the same location as the
existing bridge. Existing roads will be used as an off-site detour.
It was recommended by DEHNR that hazardous spill catch basins be
installed with the culvert. However, it was decided that shoulder earth
berms will effectively filter runoff. These berms will be implemented as
part of this project.

High tension power lines are located directly over the existing bridge
and would likely conflict with construction activities. Further coordination
with Right of Way Branch, determined it may be possible to raise the lines
without relocating them. If the lines must be relocated, it will be at the
utility company's expense, because this crossing is covered by an
encroachment agreement.
Attached are the revised scoping sheets. Any questions regarding this
project should be directed to me at 733-7842.

Right of Way Acquisition: FY 1995
Construction: FY 1996
Utility Involvement: Overhead high-tension power lines cross
diagonally from southwest to northeast and local power lines
cross along the west side of the bridge. Special construction
methods or relocation of a transmission line will be required
for this project. This project has a low utility rating.
Detour Analysis
The Benefit/Cost Ratio for building a detour structure is
0.21. Because the Benefit/Cost Ratio is below one,
construction of a temporary detour structure is not considered
cost effective. The Division Engineer and the Director of
Transportation for Davidson County Schools are both in
agreement that closing Bridge No. 50 without a detour
structure would not cause a problem. All roadway and bridges
on the detour route are adequate. The proposed detour route
is shown on Figure 2.
E. Threshold Criteria
If any Type II actions are involved in the project, the
following evaluation must be completed. If the project consists
only of Type I improvements, the following checklist does not need

On June 30, 1993, Robin Stancil of our staff met with North Carolina Department
of Transportation (NCDOT) staff for a meeting concerning the above project. We
reported our available information on historic architectural and archaeological
surveys and resources along with our recommendations. NCDOT provided project
area photographs and aerial photographs at the meeting and for our use
afterwards.
Based upon our review of the photographs and the information discussed at the
meeting, we offer our preliminary comments regarding this project.
In terms of historic architectural resources, we are aware of no historic structures
located within the area of potential effect. We recommend that no historic
architectural survey be conducted for this project.
We-recommend that a comprehensive. survey be conducted by an experienced
archaeologist to identify the presence and significance of archaeological remains
that may be damaged or destroyed by the proposed project. Potential effects on
unknown resources should be assessed prior to the initiation of construction
activities.
Having provided this information, we look forward to receipt of either a
Categorical Exclusion or Environmental Assessment which indicates how NCDOT
addressed our concerns.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966 and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified at 36 CFR Part 800.

1.0 Introduction
The following natural resources Technical Report is submitted to assist in preparation
of a Categorical Exclusion (CE). This report inventories the natural resources occurring within the
project area, identifies environmental concerns which must be addressed in the planning stages of
this project, and recommends means for minimizing environmental degradation.
1.1 Project Description
Project B-2542 proposes to replace the existing structure (Bridge No. 50) on SR 1493 over
Huffman's Creek. Built in 1959, the structure is 5.8 in (19.0 ft) wide with 1.8 in (6.0 ft) grass
shoulders along the approaches. Replacement with a 7.3 in (24.0 ft) wide structure having 1.8 in
(6.0 ft) shoulders is proposed. Only one alternative is being considered: replacement with a ,-
two-barrel, reinforced-concrete 3.1 in x 3.1 in (10 ft x 10 ft) box culvert in the existing location, ,
with road closure and an off-site detour
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this report is to discuss current natural resource conditions surrounding the
B-2542 project site and to determine what impact, if any, proposed actions would have on existing
resources. Recommendations to minimize impacts are made with the understanding that proposed
actions result from preliminary design parameters. Thus design alterations could necessitate
further field investigation.
1.3 Study Area.
The study area encompasses the area of maximum expected impact by the proposed
replacement of Bridge No. 50 on SR 1493. The study area is cross-shaped with the longer aims
of the cross centered on the existing road and the shorter arms centered on Huffman's Creek. The
cross encompasses about 0.3 ha (0.7 ac).
Overall, the study area has been greatly modified by human activity. Stable plant and animal
communities do not occur. A narrow strip of semi-natural vegetation occurs along both banks of
Huffman's Creek. Except for the southeastern quadrant, this vegetation is regularly controlled by
cutting that limits maximum. plant height to about 3 m (10 ft). Vegetation height in the southeastern
quadrant has not been controlled for several years and the taller trees reach heights of about 10 in
(33 ft). Roadsides of the existing road are regularly mowed, and the remainder of the study area
is agricultural land. A high-tension power transmission line crosses the site overhead, further
contributing to the need for period vegetation height control.
1.4 Methodology
A site visit was conducted on June 23, 1994 to determine natural resource conditions and
confirm published information available concerning the site (Sources cited where applicable in the
report). Vegetation communities were identified according to dominant species types,
supplemented with detailed species lists for all strata. Dominance of woody vegetation was
determined using the variable-plot method (Dilworth and Bell 1986). Tree heights were measured
using an Abney level hypsometer (Dilworth and Bell 1986). Percent foliar cover of vegetation was
ocularly estimated, using cover guides prepared by Belanger and Anderson (1989). Plant
nomenclature follows Radford et al. (1968). Terrestrial wildlife habitat was characterized by
vegetation type, but the site was examined for signs of use by and life-requisite availability for
species typical of the locale. Aquatic conditions were examined immediately beneath and proximal
to the existing bridge. Wetland delineation follows procedures established by the US Army Corps
of Engineers (Environmental Lab 1987).

2.0 Physical Resources
This section describes water and soil resources within the project study area, especially
focusing on water quality documentation (NCDEM 1991, 1993), information gathered on-site, and
information found in the Davidson County Soil Survey (Hardison and Brinkley 1917) and
available maps.
2.1 Water Resources
Huffman's Creek arises in northwest Davidson County and flows southwesterly to join. _
Reedy Creek 3.1 km (2.0 mi) downstream of SR 1493. Reedy Creek later empties to the Yadkin
River. An unnamed tributary enters Huffman's Creek immediately upstream of the bridge. Above
SR 1493, Huffmans Creek drains approximately 711 ha (1756 ac) in a watershed whose elevation'
above MSL ranges between 229 in (725 ft) at the bridge and 259 m (850 ft) at ridge top.
2. 1.1 Water Quality
Characteristics of Huffman's Creek observed on site, shown in Table 1, suggest relatively
good water quality despite the highly disturbed nature of the surrounding watershed. All of
Huffman's Creek was rated "WS-IV" in 1992 (NCDEM 1993). WS-IV designates "waters
protected as water supplies which area generally in moderately to highly developed watersheds;
point source discharges of treated wastewater are permitted ...; local programs to control nonpoint
source and stormwater discharge of pollution are required; suitable for all Class C uses" (NCDEM
1993).
A permitted discharge (N00065587) into Huffman's Creek occurs upstream at Northwest
Elementary School (NCDEM 1994). No "High Quality Waters" or "Outstanding Resource
Waters" exist in the vicinity.
The nearest BMAN site is a considerable distance (more than 6.4 km or 4 mi) downstream,
in the Yadkin River near Yadkin College. Ratings there have ranged from "Good-Fair" in 1983 to
"Good" in 1990 (NCDEM 1991).

2.1.2 Summary of Anticipated Impacts
July 19, 1994
Using an off-site detour during replacement of Bridge No. 50 will minimize effects on the
water in Huffman Creek. Controlling erosion through Best Management Practices and minimizing
intrusions by equipment during construction of the replacement structure are recommended. No
significant impact is expected.
2.2 Soils
The Davidson County Soil Survey (Hardison and Brinkley 1917) indicates that soil-on
either bank adjacent to Huffman's Creek is Congoree silt loam. This soil, typically found along all
creeks in Davidson County, is alluvial in origin, "consisting of reworked Piedmont materials"
(Hardison and Brinkley 1917). Occupying about 7.3 percent of the county, it occurs in strips
ranging in width from 30.5 in (100 ft) to 0.8 km (0.5 mi). "The topography is level and all the-
type is subject to overflows during ordinarily heavy rains. Most of it is sufficiently well drained to,
be used for agriculture. Many swampy areas have been reclaimed by straightening the stream
channels and constructing open ditches" (Hardison and Brinkley 1917).
Uplands surrounding Huffman's Creek at SR 1493 contain Cecil clay loam, which is a heavy
soil. "The surface drainage of this type is prevailingly good, but its heavy, stiff subsoil retards the
downward percolation of water" (Hardison and Brinkley 1917).
3.0 Biotic Resources
This section gives detailed descriptions of the vegetative communities existing at the B-2542
project site and discusses wildlife communities using or likely to use the habitat. It also assesses
predicted impacts to flora, faunal and aquatic communities as a result of the proposed actions.
3.1 Terrestrial Communities.
The vegetation surrounding the existing bridge has been and continues to be completely
modified by human activities. A narrow strip of weedy vegetation from 3-6 m (10-20 ft) in width
occurs along both banks of Huffman's Creek. This vegetation is controlled by regular cutting that
limits plant height to about 3 m (10 ft) and favors weedy plants tolerant of frequent disturbance and
full sunlight. Beyond this strip, the land is used for pasture or row crops. No stable plant
communities occur because regular disturbance precludes their development.
3.1.1 Floral Communities.
Two floral communities occur within the project area, Streamside Scrub and Roadside. The
Streamside Scrub community occurs in a narrow strip along both sides of Huffman's Creek and
along the approaches to the bridge. The Streamside Scrub occupies about 12 percent of the study
area and is somewhat better developed in the southeastern quadrant, where less regular cutting has
allowed selected sweetgum (Liquidambar stvraciflua) trees to reach heights of about 10 in (33 ft).
Most woody plants consist of multiple-stemmed clumps of sprouts. The herbaceous plants are a
mixture of coarse wildflowers of moist soil and common garden weeds.
The Roadside community occurs along SR 1493, except on the bridge approaches. It
occupies about 29 percent of the study area. It contains disturbance-tolerant species, many of
which are non-native. Both communities contain a single layer of vegetation; no true overstory or
understory exist. Neither community has been systematically researched, and no published
vegetation studies exist.
Streamside Scrub. Within the study area, the Streamside Scrub community contains red
maple (Acer rubrum), black willow (Salix niQra), black cherry (Prunus serotina), persimmon
(Diospvros virginiana), sweetgum, white ash (Fraxinus americana), boxelder (Acer ne undo ,
common blackberry (Rubus arautus , elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), pasture rose Rosa
carolina), silky dogwood (Corpus amomum , prairie willow Sj l humilis , poison-ivy (Rhus
D'?*= July 19, 1994
radicans), trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans), Japanese honeysuckle Lonicera 'a nica. ,
Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), panic grass (Panicum sco rium , goldenrod
Solida o sp.), jewelweed (Impatiens ca ensis , common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia),
horse-nettle (Solanum carolinense), Joe-pye-weed (Eupatorium fistulosum), pokeweed
(Phytolacca americana), common fescue Festuca elatior , wild onion Allium sp.), Japanese grass
(Microste ium virmineum), fleabane (Erieron sp.), evening primrose (Oenothera biennis , wood
sorrel (Oxalis dillenii , false nettle (Boehmeria cvlindrica , tick-trefoil (Desmodium sp.), and aster
Aster sp.). In addition, smooth alder Alnus serrulata occurs along the creek bank.
Foliar cover of the Streamside Scrub community averages 75 percent, except for the
southeastern quadrant where it averages 100 percent. Frequency among individual - species,
however, vanes greatly. Poison-ivy, Japanese honeysuckle, common blackberry, and jewelweed
dominate the community, providing roughly one-half of the foliar cover. The other species listed '
above, some of which are represented by only 1-3 individuals, provide the remaining one-half
Roadside. Disturbance tolerant herbs dominate the Roadside community, where foliar cover
averages 80 percent. Common fescue, horseweed (Eri eron canadensis), plantain Plantaao
lanceolata), panic grass, ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), horse-nettle, rye grass (Lolium
multiflorum), sheep-sorrel (Rumex acetosella , wild onion, broomsedge (Andropogon vir inicus ,
orchard grass, crab grass Di itaria sp.), daylily (Hemerocallis fulva , common milkweed
(Asclepias svrica , wild carrot aucus carota , rabbit-foot clover Trifolium arvense , brome grass
Bromus sp.), and eastern gamma grass (Tripsicum dactvloides) occur.
The Roadside community is much more frequently disturbed by mowing that reduces total
plant height and increases the dominance of grasses. The dividing line between the Streamside
Scrub and Roadside communities is defined by the limit of frequent mowing.
3.1.2 Faunal Communities
Barn swallows (Hirundo rustica and Red-winged blackbirds (AQelaius phoeniceus) F
dominate the avian community observed at the B-2542 project site, which is open field habitat not
conducive to most forest and edge species. Bob white quail (Colinus virginianus), Killdeer
(Charadrius vociferous), and eastern meadowlark (Sturnela magna can also be found in such
areas. Turkey vultures Cathartes aura were observed soaring in the vicinity, and openland raptor
populations are expected to occur here.
Eastern cottontail (Svlvilaaus floiidanus) and Hispid cotton rats (Si2modon his idus are
likely frequenters of the surrounding habitat, as well as Meadow voles Microtus pennsvlvanicus)
and the House mice (Mus musculus . Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) may travel through the area.
Larger mammals, such as the red fox (Vulpes vu[ s probably prey upon the small mammal,
especially rodent, populations, and the two most typical species, Raccoon (Procyon lotor) and
opossum (Didelphis vii iniana , scavage for whatever they may find along Huffman's Creek.
In summary, the faunal community associated with the habitat here is unremarkable and
widely found in the Piedmont of North Carolina.
3.2 Aquatic Communities
A school of Creek chub (Semotilus atromaculatus) was observed just east of the bridge,
where a small unnamed tributary enters Huffman Creek. The school comprised fish of various
sizes, so apparently the population is reproducing in the vicinity. Mosquitofish Gambusia
holbrooki were also observed. As noted above, the creek is not very deep
No rooted or free-floating aquatic plants were observed.
3.3 Summary of Anticipated Impacts
One construction alternative has been identified: replacement of the bridge in its current
6 July 19, 1994
location with road closure and off-site detour. Replacing the current bridge with a new structure in
the same location will involve minimal soil grading, therefore little clearing. The plant
communities affected are Roadside and Streamside scrub, both of which are already periodically
controlled.
Additional pavement will be created to accommodate wider approaches to the wider structure
proposed. This pavement will cover an additional 93 m2 (1000 ft2) of roadside and scrub cover.
In fact, what will happen is that the existing roadside community will be eliminated and replaced
with new Roadside area created where Streamside scrub now exists along the right-of-way.
No adverse impacts to floral populations are expected from the proposed project, since (1) all
species observed during the field investigation are common with adequate populations outside of
the impact area (see sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2), (2) most plants are weedy and many are non-native,
and (3) all communities within the impact area are already considerably degraded and no .-
prime-quality or unique situations exist. No faunal species are likely to be permanently displaced
due to this action, and temporary displacement of any species is not likely to be detrimental because
of their transitory nature.
4.0 Special Topics
This section addresses the topics of jurisdictional wetlands and protected species, drawing
conclusions as to the degree of impact the proposed actions would have in each topic area.
4.1 Waters of the US: Jurisdictional Issues
4.1.1 Anticipated Impacts to Waters of the U.S.
Replacement in place using an off-site detour assures that there will be no impact to watprs of
the United states. No wetlands occur outside the stream channel, and no alteration of the waters of
Huffman Creek is planned. Since wetlands are limited to Huffman's Creek itself, no wetland
communities will be impacted.
4.1.2 Anticipated Permit Requirements
Impacts to waters of the United States come under jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (COE). A Nationwide Permit 33 CFR 330.5 (A)23 should be applicable to project
B-2542. This permit authorizes activities undertaken, assisted, authorized, regulated, funded or
financed in whole, or in part, by another federal agency or department. That agency or department
has determined that the activity is categorically excluded from environmental documentation
because it will neither individually nor cumulatively have a significant environmental effect. A
North Carolina Department Division of Environmental Management (DEM) Section 401 (1665)
Water Quality General Certification is also required prior to issuance of the Nationwide Permit.
4.1.3 Avoidance, Minimization, Mitigation
Project B-2542 does not involve any wetland beyond the bank to bank impact area, and this
area will be entirely spanned.
4.2 Rare and Protected Species
Under federal law, any federal action which is likely to result in a negative impact to federally
protected plants and animals is subject to review by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
under one or more provisions of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973. In the case of
state-funded action, where federal wetland permits are likely to be required, for example, the
USFWS can require consultation to insure that the proposed action does not jeopardize any
endangered, threatened or protected species. Even in the absence of federal actions, the USFWS
has the power, through provisions of Section 9 of the ESA, to exercise jurisdiction on behalf of a
protected plant or animal. The USFWS and other wildlife resource agencies also exercise
7 July 19, 1994
jurisdiction in this resource area in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48
Stat. 401, ds amended; 16 USC 661 et seq). North Carolina laws are also designed to protect
certain plants and animals where statewide populations are in decline.
4.2.1 Federally Protected Species.
Schweinitz's sunflower (Schweinitz's sunflower) is the only species federally listed as
endangered or threatened in Davidson County. It generally occurs in full sun or light shade in
low-density stands dominated by oaks, pines, and hickories. Chestnut oak (Quercus prinus),
scarlet oak (Q. coccinea), black oak (Q. velutina), blackjack oak (Q. marilandica), post oak (Q.
stellata), shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata), pignut hickory (Carya glabra), sand hickory (C. pallida),
and mockernut hickory (C. tomentosa) are typical overstory species, whereas pinelands threeawn
(Aristida stricta), little bluestem (Andropogon scoparius), panic grass (Panicum sp.), blazing star
(Liatris spp.), goldenrod (Solidago spp.), aster (Aster spp.), bracken fern (Pteridium aquilingw),
and blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) are common understory species. These stands are typically
bi-layered, maintained by occasionally surface fires that limit lower canopy and shrub
development. In addition, Schweinitz's sunflower may occur in the Roadside community, where
periodic mowing, but not herbiciding, roughly approximates the open conditions of fire-maintained
forests.
Typical forest habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower does not occur within the project area,
although the Roadside community occurs. In September 1993 biologists from NCDOT surveyed
the project area for Schweinitz's sunflower, but they did not observe it. During the current field
reconnaissance, roadsides were searched for Schweinitz's sunflower, but it was also not observed.
Even though the current survey was conducted in early summer before the flowering season,
Schweinitz's sunflower should have been identifiable due to its characteristic opposite,
sessile-subsessile, somewhat revolute leaves with strigose-tomentose undersides--a character
combination not common among herbaceous plants.
r
Biological Conclusion. the proposed project will have no effect on Schweinitz's
sunflower.
4.2.2 State Protected Species
Prairie birdfoot-trefoil (Lotus helleri, also called Lotus purshianus var. helleri) shows
evidence of declining population levels, and this species has been seen in Davidson County
(Radford et al. 1968). Prairie birdfoot-trefoil typically occurs in uplands in open oak--hickory
stands on basic or circumneutral soils. Typical overstory species include white oak ( uercus
alba , post oak ( uercus stellata , southern red oak ( uercus falcata , black oak uercus
velutina , shordeaf pine (Pinus echinata , mockemut hickory (Carva tomentosa), and pignut
hickory Carva rlabra). The understory contains flowering dogwood Corpus florida , redbud
(Cercis cg a ensis), maple-leaf vibumum Viburnum acerifolium), and arrowwood (Viburnum
rafinesquianum). The ground layer includes Solomon's seal (Poly onatum biflorum and bellwort
(Uvularia erfoliata . The somewhat open understory of this community is probably maintained
by periodic fires.
The oak--hickory community is completely lacking from the project area, and therefore
typical habitat does not occur for Prairie birdfoot-trefoil. Although this species could possibly
occur on roadsides, where mowing roughly approximates the open understory, caused by periodic
fires, it was not observed during the field investigation, which was conducted at the beginning of
the flowering season for this species.
A review of NC Natural Heritage Program office records concerning state-protected species
revealed no records of specimens or other concerns either here or within reasonable proximity.
4.2.3 Federal Candidate Species
Prairie birdfoot-trefoil has been identified as a candidate for federal protection, but its typical
habitat is lacking and this species has not been observed in Davidson County in 20 years.
B-2542
. 4.2.4 Summary of Anticipated Impacts
July 19, 1994
Action at the B-2542 project site will have no impact on federally or state-protected species.
