NCDOT Work Order No. 5.3852008. Reference: NCDOT permit application (March 3, 2003) The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to replace Bridge No. 63 on SR 1330 over Castle Creek 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 3366 by permit application dated March 3, 2003. 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 dirdctly to the appropriate NCDOT work order. The NCDOT work order for this project is 5.3852008. Project 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 required for this project. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (919) 560-6081. Sincerely, Christopher A. Murray, P.W.S. PAYMENT Environmental Officer RECEIVED Division 5, 2612 N.

NCDOT State Project No. 5.3852008. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) plans to replace Bridge No. 63 over Castle Creek on SR 1330 in Person County (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The existing one-span bridge (1 @ 20 foot 7 inch) was constructed in 1953 and has a timber floor on timber joist piles on concrete sills. This bridge is currently in very poor condition; it is structurally deficient with a sufficiency rating of 50 out of 100 points. It has been determined that this structure must be replaced. The proposed replacement structure is a 1 @ 20 foot x 6 foot crown span with wing walls that is 70 feet long (Figures 3 and 4). Please note that the crown span is a bottomless structure that is set on concrete footings. Surficial bedrock has been observed in the stream bed at the bridge site. 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 Castle Creek (DWQ Index No. 22-58-13, Best Usage Classification C). Bridge Demolition and Removal Bridge No. 63 has a timber floor covered with broken asphalt on timber joist piles on concrete sills. The bridge will be removed under Case 3, where there are no special restrictions beyond those outlined in Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and Removal. Division 5, 2612 N. Duke Street, Durham, NC 27704 Phone: (919) 560-6081 Fax: (919) 560-3371 2 Bridge Replacement Impacts associated with the project from the replacement of the existing bridge with a crown span with wingwalls (including minimal amounts of rip rap to protect the structure) include 54 feet existing channel impacted and <0.01 acre fill in surface water (Figures 3 and 4). Dewatering The NCDOT will dewater this perennial stream during the construction of the project. This will involve the temporary placement of sandbags or rip rap covered with filter fabric in the stream channel 25 feet upstream of the existing bridge and 20 feet downstream of the existing bridge. 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 four weeks. This will result in temporary impacts to the surface water. Temporary impacts to the stream from this activity will result in the dewatering of <0.01 ac of stream bed and 105 linear feet stream channel. The sandbags or rip rap covered with filter fabric 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 proposed structure is a bottomless structure set on concrete footings. • Continued coordination will occur with maintenance forces and the Environmental Officer during construction to minimize impacts to the site. All efforts will be made during construction to reduce the amount of rip rap at the site. 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 efforts 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 January 29, 2003, dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) is listed as Endangered in Person County. A Biological Conclusion of No Effect has been rendered for this species. 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. 63 over Castle Creek on SR 1330 in Person County. The proposed replacement structure is a 1@ 20 foot x 6 foot crown span with wingwalls that is 70 foot long. Please note that the con span structure is a bottomless structure. Impacts associated with the project (including minimal amounts of rip rap to protect the structure) include 54 feet existing channel impacted and <0.01 acre fill in surface water. Temporary impacts to the stream from dewatering will result in the dewatering of <0.01 ac of stream bed and 105 linear feet stream channel. 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. The NCDOT will comply with all applicable NWP and WQC conditions. A pre- construction notification is attached with this request.

All wetlands and surface waters not affected by construction will be protected from unnecessary encroachment during construction. The side slopes of the jurisdictional sites has been steepened to the maximum extent possible. Strict enforcement of Best Mana eg ment Practices for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced during construction. Only the smallest amount of fill necessary to complete the project will be placed in waters of the United States or protected riparian buffers Please note that the crown span is a bottomless structure that is set on concrete footings. 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. 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 htth ;/h_?o enr.state.tic tislnr.vvetlati(l_s/strnigiclt fit till.
