Subject: C-asvv~li County, Bridge Replacement on Honeysuckle Rd (SR 2304)
Project Nuaxber # 'T~.20?914.12
To Whom It May Concern:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace a bridge with a
Corrugated Metal Pipe Arch on Honeysuckle Road (SR 2304) in Rockingham County. Replacement is
necessary in order to reduce future maintenance needs and increase traffic safety. This activity will result
in impacts to Little Jacob's Creek. The NCDOT anticipates that the pipe replacement activity will be
authorized under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14 . This application is intended as a request for
Nationwides 14 from the US Army Corps of Engineers. We are also requesting authorization from NC
Division of Water Quality to replace the pipes under General Water Quality Certificate # 3494 (NWP
14). The following information is being provided to satisfy Condition 1 of General Water Quality
Certificate # 3494. NCDOT is aware that mitigation may be required for the proposed work.
The proposed project is in the Roanoke River basin in which the James spinymussel is listed as an
endangered species. Therefore, a mussel survey was conducted by NCDOT personnel on May 24,
2007. No mussels were observed and a biological conclusion of "No Effect" was issued for the James
spinymussel. A copy of the survey results is attached. Gary Jordan of the US Fish and Wildlife has
concurred with the finding and as of this date NCDOT is awaiting a copy of the US Fish and Wildlife
written concurrence.

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.
USAGE - 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 aze 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 USAGE 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
http~//h2o.enr.state.nc us/ucwetlandslstrmaide.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.
A fording; of insignificant impact is antici~ated• therefore a mitigation flan is not provided
Sixty feet of permanent stream impacts will result from replacin tg he bridue with culverts
No Outstanding Resource Waters federallyprotected species or their habitats (see atteched
letters or essential fishery habitats occur in the ,project area. The project is not located in a

SUBJECT: Protected species survey report for the James spinymussel
(Pleurobema collina) for the proposed bridge replacement
project over Little Jacob's Creek on Honeysuckle Road
(SR 2304); Rockingham County, Division 7 Project.
ATTENTION: Jerry Parker
Division Environmental Supervisor
The following memorandum addresses the James spinymussel (Pleurobema
collina), a federally protected species listed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service for
Caswell County. The habitat requirements for the James spinymussel include creeks or
river areas with substrate of cobble and sand in reaches with slow to moderate current
(Bogan, 2002). Habitat for the James spinymussel does exist in Little Jacob's Creek.
However, these areas are patchy due to the fact most of the stream was dominated by
bedrock or gravel. A survey for freshwater mussels was done with no freshwater mussels
being found.
Surveys, Habitat and Methods
A mussel survey was conducted on May 17, 2007 by NCDOT biologists, Neil
Medlin and Jared Gray. Little Jacob's Creek crossing at SR 2304 (Honeysuckle Road)
contained runs, riffles and pool areas with the substrate being very compacted. The
substrate above and below the bridge consists of bedrock being dominant and gravel being
subdominant. The substrate also consisted of sand and silt with slow to medium current.
The portion of the creek that was surveyed had a moderate buffer. The stream banks had
some erosion and undercut banks in some areas. The land use was naturaUactive pasture.
Little Jacob's Creek was shallow with 100 percent of the stream less than 2 feet deep.
Little Jacob's Creek was 1.5 meter wide and the bank heights were 0.5 meters. There is a
4-5 feet rock ledge above the bridge and the majority of the substrate above the bridge is
bedrock. This is the headwater of Little Jacob's Creek. The surveys was conducted by

wading using a batiscope from approximately 400 meters downstream to 100 meters
upstream of the project crossing. No freshwater mussels were found in 0.75 man-hours of
survey time.

Environmental Biologist, NC Division of Water Quality
June 1990 -January 2002
Environmental Biologist, FL Department of Environmental Protection
(formerly Department of Environmental Regulation), August 1986 -June
1990
Expertise: Freshwater fish and benthic macroinvertebrate collection and identification;
aquatic habitat evaluations and function; biocriteria and biotic indices
evaluations; Endangered species (terrestriaUaquatic) surveys.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: No Effect
Given the survey results, that no freshwater mussels were found in Little Jacob's
Creek, it is apparent that the James spinymussel does not occur in the project footprint.
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) does not list a known population
up or downstream in Little Jacob's Creek, which flows into the Jacob's Creek
approximately 0.25 mile downstream of the proposed project. There aze no known
occurrences in the Jacob's Creek immediately up or downstream of the confluence's of
these two streams. From the confluence of Little Jacob's Creek and Jacob's Creek, it is
another 2.4 miles to where Jacob's Creek flows into the Dan River. The James
spinymussel has never been found this fax down in the Dan River. NCDOT believes that
proposed bridge replacement project would have no effect on the James spinymussel.
