Duke Street Durham, NC 27704 NCDENR May 9, 2002 Re: Permit Application for proposed replacement of Bridge Number 40 on SR 1100 over the South Hyco Creek in Person County DWQ No. 020676 Dear Mr. Nance: The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your submittal for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the aforementioned project. Review of your application revealed it lacking necessary information required for making an informed permit decision. The permit application was deficient in the following areas: The project as presently proposed calls for replacing a bridge with a culvert. The waters being impacted are classified as WS II HQW. The application provides only a plan for the project. No cross-section or stream profile information is provided. Given that the project plans to replace a bridge with a con span structure, we need the requested information to assist in the determination that the project will not result in a destabilization of the stream. In addition, please assess the potential for an upstream and downstream cross vane to be constructed at the project site. Also, provide the proposed design specifications for the cross vane installation. If you believe the requested design changes are problematic, please provide additional information detailing the engineering rationale, and provide an alternative design that provides for stream stability. Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 2h.0507(a)(5), we will have to place the permit application on hold until we are supplied the necessary information. Furthermore, until the information is received by the NC Division of Water Quality, we request (by copy of this letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers place the permit application on hold. Hopefully, we can work together to expedite the processing of your permit application. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact John Hennessy at 919-733-5694.

Dept of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality 2321 Crabtree Blvd. Raleigh, NC 27604-2260 Attention: Mr. John Hennessy NCDOT Coordinator Subject: Replacement of Bridge No. 40 over an unnamed perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek on SR 1 100 in Person County. NCDOT State Project No. 5.3852008. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to replace Bridge No. 40 over an unnamed perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek within the Roanoke River Basin in Person County (Figure 1 and Figure 2). This unnamed tributary [DWQ Index No. 22-58-4- (0.5)] has a Best Usage Classification of WS-II. High Quality Water Guidelines will be followed during project construction. The existing three-span bridge (l @? 17'9", 1 u) 17', & 1 t) 17'9") was constructed in 1956 and has a timber floor on timber joist piles. This bridge is currently in very poor condition; it is structurally deficient with a sufficiency rating of l?l 36 out of 100 points. It has been determined that this structure must be replaced. A Water Quality Certification No. 3375 (DWQ Project No. 020676) as is eus d"car this project dated June 4, 2002. This certification approved the p acement of fill material in 87 linear feet of streams for replacing Bridge No. 40. This 87 linear feet of fill was associated with the proposal to replace the existing bridge with a 60 foot long con span bottomless structure in addition to filling a 27 linear feet portion of an intermittent tributary. This tributary was to be filled and relocated due to its proximity to the proposed structure. It has been determined that the geology at this site is not suitable for the installation of a bottomless culvert. Therefore, NCDOT now proposes to replace the existing bridge with a new bridge. The proposed bridge will be a two-span structure (I@ 61'3" & 1 @ 31'3") which will span the stream with the bents placed outside of the stream channel on high ground. This current proposal eliminates the previously reported impacts and it involves only the proposal to place 60 feet of rip rap along both banks under the bridge for BANK STABILIZATION (Figure 3 and 4).

NCDENR-DWQ notice indication HOLD status of project (May 9, 2002) The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge No. 40 over an unnamed perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek on SR 1100 in Pers o ty. The replacement structure is 1@ 28 feet x 6 feet con span with endwalls that ' 60 f t long. A permit application outlining impacts associated with this project was sub ted to the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) and copied to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Division of Water Quality (NCDENR-DWQ) on April 29, 2002. The project was placed on hold by the NCDENR-DWQ by letter dated May 9, 2002. The letter states: • The project as presently proposed calls for replacing a bridge with a culvert. The waters being impacted are WS-II HQW. The application provides only a plan for the project. No cross section or stream profile information is provided.

Figure 1 depicts the location of the project on the most recent USGS topographic map. Figure 2 depicts the location of the project on the Person County Soil Survey. Figure 3 provides a plan view of the project. New Figure 4 provides the hydraulic design/analysis of the project including plan view and profile. New Figure 5 provides a bed profile. New Figure 6 provides the county map indicating the location of the project site. The proposed structure is located on footings that will be located on top of exposed surficial bedrock. Exposed surficial bedrock is located within the stream bed, which will serve as natural in-stream grade control. Therefore, the stream bed is currently stable and can be anticipated to remain stable after construction. Additionally, the con span will completely span the entire stream bed and both banks of the stream. Accordingly, the NCDOT does not feel that cross vane devices are necessary to provide for stream stabilization. Division 5 personnel will monitor the site after construction to ensure stream stability. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (919) 560-6081.

NCDOT Work Order No. 5.3852008. Reference: NCDOT permit application (April 29, 2002) The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to replace Bridge No. 40 over an unnamed perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek on SR 1100 in Person County. Construction of the project will necessitate impacts to waters of the United States. Application was made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 and NWP 33 and North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3375 and WQC No. 3366 by permit application dated April 29, 2002. An automated payment procedure has recently been implemented between the NCDOT and NCDWQ. This procedure will enable the Division to apply for the 401 WQC without submitting a check for this permit application. This new procedure will provide payment to the NCDWQ by charging the permit application fee directly to the appropriate NCDOT work order. The NCDOT work order for this proiect is 5,3852008. Proiect impacts are less than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 linear feet cumulative impacts to streams: therefore, please note that a fee of $200.00 is reauired for this project.

U MAY - 2 2001 LYNDO TIPPETT SECRETARY 020676 Subject: Replacement of Bridge No. 40 over an unnamed perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek on SR 1100 in Person County. NCDOT State Project No. 5.3852008. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to replace Bridge No. 40 over an unnamed perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek in Person County (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The existing three-span bridge (1@ 17'9", 1 @ 17', 1 @ 17'9") was constructed in 1956 and has a timber floor on timber joist piles. This bridge is currently in very poor condition; it is structurally deficient with a sufficiency rating of 36 out of 100 points. It has been determined that this structure must be replaced. The proposed replacement structure is a 1 @ 28 feet x 6 feet con span with endwalls that is 60 feet long (Figure 2). Please note that the con span is a bottomless structure that is set on concrete footings. Impacts to Waters of the United States Construction of the project involving replacement of the existing bridge will necessitate impact to waters of the United States in the Roanoke River basin. Here the project study area crosses an unnamed perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek and an unnamed low flow intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek. These unnamed tributaries to South Hyco Creek (DWQ Index No. 22-58-4-(0.5)) have a Best Usage Classification of WS-II. High Quality Water Guidelines will be followed during project construction. Bridge Demolition and Removal Bridge No. 40 has a timber floor covered with broken asphalt on timber joist piles. The bridge will be removed under Case 3, where there are no special restrictions Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704 Phone: (919) 560-6081 Fax: (919) 560-3371 b f v?_.D beyond those outlined in Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and Removal. The bridge construction site will be dewatered during construction, thus precluding the dropping of bridge components into live water. Bridge Replacement Impacts will occur to the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek at the project site from the replacement of the existing bridge with a 1 @ 28 foot x 6 foot con span with endwalls that is 60 feet long. Please note that the con span structure is a bottomless structure set on concrete footings that will span the entire stream bed and both banks of the stream. The existing bridge over the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek covers 21 linear feet of the stream. The con span will cover 60 linear feet of the stream. Permanent impacts to the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek from installation of the con span structure will include 39 linear feet of stream cover. Intermittent Stream Relocation A portion of the very low flow intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek is located in the proposed fill area of the project (this low flow intermittent tributary is not depicted on the Cedar Grove USGS topographic map (1967) or the Person County Soil Survey (USDA-NRCS, 1995)). Accordingly, a portion of the intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek must be relocated outside of the proposed construction fill limits. A total of 27 linear feet of the intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek will be relocated in a rip rap lined channel (rip rap along bank slopes only to provide stabilization) with 2:1 side slopes that is 27 feet in length. This rip rap-is utilized here only to maintain the physical integrity of the low flow intermittent tributary. The stream bottom will consist of natural substrate. This activity will result in 27 feet existing channel impacted. Please note that the NCDOT does not consider the relocated intermittent tributary to provide any type of on-site mitigation. Dewatering The NCDOT will dewater the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek during the construction of the project. This will involve the placement of sheet piling in the stream channel approximately 10 feet upstream of the proposed con span endwall and approximately 10 feet downstream of the proposed con span endwall. To maintain water flow during construction, water upstream of this impervious structure will be temporarily pumped out and conveyed downstream of the structure. The stream will be dewatered less than three weeks. This will result in temporary impacts to the surface water. Temporary impacts to the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek from this activity will result in the dewatering of 0.02 ac of stream bed and 80 linear feet stream channel. The sheet piling will be removed after construction. Waters of the U.S. Mitigation Avoidance: All wetlands or surface waters not affected by the project will be protected from unnecessary encroachment. No staging of construction equipment or storage of construction supplies will be allowed in or near wetlands or surface waters. Minimization: • The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at jurisdictional sites. • The project will impact tributaries to South Hyco Creek (Best Usage Classification WS-II). Sedimentation and erosion control High Quality Water Guidelines will be strictly enforced during project construction. • FIRST PLAN DESIGN (March 2, 2001) The first plan design for this project involved the replacement of the existing bridge with a 1 @ 142 inch x 91 inch corrugated steel pipe arch that is 65 feet long. Permanent impacts to the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek from the replacement of the existing bridge with the corrugated steel pipe arch (with a headwall at the inlet and rip rap to protect the structure) include 110 feet existing channel impacted and 0.02 acre fill in surface water. Temporary impacts to the perennial stream from dewatering will result in the dewatering of 0.02 acre of stream bed and 85 linear feet of stream channel. A portion of the intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek is located in the proposed fill area of the first plan design. The plan design indicates that 75 linear feet of the intermittent tributary would be relocated in a rip rap lined channel with a two foot base that is 70 feet in length. This activity will result in 75 feet existing channel impacted. • SECOND PLAN DESIGN (November 30, 2001) An on-site meetinp- was held with the County Bridge Supervisor on November 30 2001 to discuss the project and evaluate minimization opportunities at the project It was determined that the amount of rip rap could be minimized at the inlet and outlet of the proposed 1 @ 142 inch x 91 inch corrugated steel pipe arch. Additionally, impacts to the intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek could be minimized by reducing the len tg h of the tributary that would have to be filled during construction of the site. The second plan design for this project still involved the replacement of the existing bridge with a 1 @ 142 inch x 91 inch corrugated steel pipe arch that is 65 feet long. Permanent impacts to the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek from the replacement of the existing bridge with the corrugated steel pipe arch (with a headwall at the inlet and reduced minimal amounts of rip rap to protect the structure) include 85 feet existing channel impacted and 0.02 acre fill in surface water. Temporary impacts to the perennial stream from dewatering will result in the dewatering of 0.02 acre of stream bed and 85 linear feet of stream channel. 4 A portion of the intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek is still located in the proposed fill area of the second plan design. The revised plan design indicates that 27 linear feet of the intermittent tributary will be relocated in a rip rap lined channel (rip ran along bank slopes only to provide stabilization) with 2:1 side slopes that is 27 feet in length. This activity will result in 27 feet existing channel impacted. Please note that the NCDOT does not consider the relocated intermittent tributary to provide any type of on-site mitigation. THIRD (AND CURRENTLY PROPOSED) PLAN DESIGN (March 22, 2002) The plan design for this project was sent back to NCDOT Hydraulics Unit in early spring 2002 to further assess minimization opportunities on site. It was determined that the proposed structure associated with the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek would be revised from a lea 142 inch x 91 inch corrugated steel pipe arch that is 65 feet in length to a 1 @.28 foot x 6 foot con span with endwalls that is 60 feet in length Please note that the con span structure is a bottomless structure set on concrete footings that will span the entire stream bed and both banks of the stream. The third plan design for this project involves the replacement of the existing bridge with a 1 @ 28 foot x 6 foot con span with endwalls. The existing bridge over the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek covers 21 linear feet of the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek. The con span will cover 60 linear feet of the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek. Permanent impacts to the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek will include 39 linear feet of stream cover. Temporary impacts to the perennial stream from dewatering will result in the dewatering of 0.02 acre of stream bed and 80 linear feet of stream channel. A portion of the intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek is still located in the proposed fill area of the first plan design. The revised third plan design still indicates that 27 linear feet of the intermittent tributary will be relocated in a rip rap lined channel (rip rap along bank slopes only to provide stabilization) with 2:1 side slopes that is 27 feet in length. The stream bottom will consist of natural substrate. This activity will result in 27 feet existing channel impacted. Please note that the NCDOT does not consider the relocated intermittent tributary to provide any type of on-site mitigation. • Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces and the Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites. The amount of rip rap placed along the relocated intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek has been reduced to the amount that is only necessary to provide for adequate streambank stabilization (based on what can be determined at this time). All efforts will be made during construction to reduce this amount of rip rap at the outlet side. Compensatory Mitigation: Construction of the project will result in only minimal impacts to waters of the United States. Impacts have been minimized to the maximum extent possible during the design process. Due to minimal impacts and minimization cfforts outlined above, compensatory mitigation for impacts to waters of the United States will not be provided for this project. Protected Species Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed Endangered and Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the ESA. As of February 7, 2001, there are no federally-protected species listed for Person County. A mussel survey was conducted at the site during a site visit on November 30, 2001. No mussels, clams or snails were observed during the site visit. Historical Compliance Historic compliance work to be scheduled and concurrence with Historic Preservation Office will be obtained if required. Summary NCDOT proposes to replace Bridge No. 40 over an unnamed perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek in Person County. The proposed replacement structure is a 1 @ 28 foot x 6 foot con span. Impacts to waters of the United States from project construction include: Impacts will occur to the perennial tributary at the project from the replacement of the existing bridge with a 1 @ 28 foot x 6 foot con span with and endwall that is 60 feet in length. Please note that the con span structure is a bottomless structure set on concrete footings that will span the entire stream bed and both banks of the stream. The existing bridge over the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek covers 21 linear feet of the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek. The con span will cover 60 linear feet of the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek. Permanent impacts to the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek will include 39 linear feet of stream cover. Temporary impacts to the perenial stream from dewatering will result in the dewatering of 0.02 acre of stream bed and 80 linear feet of stream channel. • A portion of the unnamed intermittent tributary is located in the proposed fill area of the project. Accordingly, 27 linear feet of the intermittent tributary will be relocated in a rip rap lined channel (rip rap along bank slopes only to provide stabilization) with 2:1 side slopes that is 27 feet in length. The stream bottom will consist of natural substrate. This activity will result in 27 feet existing channel impacted. Please note that the NCDOT does not consider the relocated intermittent tributary to provide any type of on-site mitigation. Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 and NWP 33 and NCDENR-DWQ Section 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3375 and No. 3366 for construction of this project.

Accordingly, 27 linear feet of the intermittent tributary will be relocated in a rip rap-lined channel (rip rap along bank slopes only to provide stabilization) with 2.1 side slopes that is 27 feet in length. The stream bottom will consist of natural substrate. There is no net loss or gain of intermitt ent tributary stream channel: however, please note that the NCDOT does not consider the relocated intermittent tributary to provide any type of on-site mitigation. See cumulative impacts to streams below. " List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: culverts and associated rip-rap, dams (separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding), relocation (include linear feet before and after, and net losstgain), stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included. Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at 1!0%. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., \\\,\,\\ k f o/o1iC, cup, _in,t gkic,;t (:oni, etc.). _ Cumulative impacts (linear distance in feet) to all streams on site: Perennial Tributary to South Hyco Creek: Permanent Impact: The existing bridge covers 21 linear feet of stream channel and the proposed con span structure covers 60 linear feet of stream channel. Permanent impacts to the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek from the installation of the con span structure include 39 linear feet of stream cover (60 linear feet minus 21 linear feet). Temporary Impact: Temporary pacts from dewatering the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek include 80 linear feet stream channel. Intermittent Tributary to South Hyco Creek: Permanent Impact: A total of 27 linear feet will be relocated in a rip rap lined channel that is 27 linear feet in lentth. The stream bottom will consist of natural substrate. This activity will result in the filling of 27 linear_ feet of stream channel.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be 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. • The side slopes have been steepened to the extent possible at jurisdictional sites. • The project will impact tributaries to South Hyco Creek (Best Usage Classification WS-II). Sedimentation and erosion control High Quality Water Guidelines will be strictly enforced during project construction. • FIRST PLAN DESIGN (March 2, 2001) The first plan design for this project involved the replacement of the existing bridge with a 1 @ 142 inch x 91 inch corrugated steel pipe arch that is 65 feet long. Permanent impacts to the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek from the replacement of the existing bridge with the corrugated steel pipe arch (with a headwall at the inlet and rip rap to protect the structure) include 110 feet existing channel impacted and 0.02 acre fill in surface water. Temporary impacts to the perennial stream from dewatering will result in the dewatering of 0.02 acre of stream bed and 85 linear feet of stream channel. A portion of the intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek is located in the proposed fill area of the first plan design. The plan design indicates that 75 linear feet of the intermittent tributary would be relocated in a rip rap lined channel with a two foot base that is 70 feet in length. This activity will result in 75 feet existing channel impacted. Page 7 of 13 SECOND PLAN DESIGN (November 30, 2001) An on-site meeting was held with the County Bridge Supervisor on November 30, 2001 to discuss the project and evaluate minimization opportunities at the project. It was determined that the amount of rip rap could be minimized at the inlet and outlet of the proposed 1 k 142 inch x 91 inch corrugated steel pipe arch. Additionally, impacts to the intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek could be minimized by reducing the length of the tributary that would have to be filled during construction of the site. The second plan design for this project still involved the replacement of the existing bridge with a 1 @ 142 inch x 91 inch corrugated steel pipe arch that is 65 feet long. Permanent impacts to the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek from the replacement of the existing bridge with the corrugated steel pipe arch (with a headwall at the inlet and reduced minimal amounts of rip rap to protect the structure) include 85 feet existing channel impacted and 0.02 acre fill in surface water. Temporary impacts to the perennial stream from dewatering will result in the dewatering of 0.02 acre of stream bed and 85 linear feet of stream channel. A portion of the intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek is still located in the proposed fill area of the second plan design. The revised plan design indicates that 27 linear feet of the intermittent tributary will be relocated in a rip rap lined channel (rip rap along bank slopes only to provide stabilization) with 2:1 side slopes that is 27 feet in length. This activity will result in 27 feet existing channel impacted. Please note that the NCDOT does not consider the relocated intermittent tributary to provide any type of on-site mitigation. THIRD (AND CURRENTLY PROPOSED) PLAN DESIGN (March 22, 2002) The plan design for this project was sent back to NCDOT Hydraulics Unit in early spring 2002 to further assess minimization opportunities on site. It was determined that the proposed structure associated with the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek would be revised from a 1 @a, 142 inch x 91 inch corrugated steel pipe arch that is 65 feet in length to a I @ 28 foot x 6 foot con span with endwalls that is 60 feet in length. Please note that the con span structure is a bottomless structure set on concrete footings that will span the entire stream bed and both banks of the stream. The third plan design for this project involves the replacement of the existing bridge with a 1 @ 28 foot x 6 foot con span with endwalls. The existing bridge over the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek covers 21 linear feet of the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek. The con span will cover 60 linear feet of the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek. Permanent impacts to the perennial tributary to South Hyco Creek will include 39 linear feet of stream cover. Temporary impacts to the perennial stream from dewatering will result in the dewatering of 0.02 acre of stream bed and 80 linear feet of stream channel. A portion of the intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek is still located in the proposed fill area of the first plan design. The revised third plan design still indicates that 27 linear feet of the intermittent tributary will be relocated in a rip rap lined channel (rip rap along, bank slopes only to provide stabilization) with 2:1 side slopes that is 27 feet in length. The stream bottom will consist of natural substrate. This activity will result in 27 feet existing channel Page 8 of 13 impacted. Please note that the NCDOT does not consider the relocated intermittent tributary to provide any type of on-site mitigation. Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces and the Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to these sites. The amount of rip rap placed along the relocated intermittent tributary to South Hyco Creek has been reduced to the amount that is only necessary to provide for adequate streambank stabilization (based on what can be determined at this time). All efforts will be made during construction to reduce this amount of rip rap at the outlet side. 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 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 March 9, 2000, 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 NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
