I have attached a pre-construction notification application, a topography map with the project area circled, a stormwater management plan, a No Survey Required forms from NCDOT Cultural Resources for Historic Architecture and Archaeology, and a debit ledger for the Peters Creek mitigation site. Also attached are the conslruction plans and erosion control plans. The project will permanently impact 194 linear feet (128'- culvert, 66'-bank stabilization) and temporarily impact 22 linear feet (dewatering) of Wood Benton Branch. Low flow will be isolated to the center of the culvert, notched sills will be placed at the inlet, outlet, and midpoint of Yhe culvert with floodplain benches at the inlet and outlet in order to prevent stream over widening and facilitate aquatic passage. The culvert will be buried P below the stream bed to ensure aquatic passage. The sills will be back-filled with native bed material to the maacimum extent practicable. The culvert site will be dewatered during construction in accordance with NCDOT's Best Management Pracrices. There will be no effect on the James Spinymussel (Pleurobema collina), the Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzit�, or the Small-anthered bittercress (Cardamine micranthera) because of poor habitat. There is summer roosting habitat in the form of trees and the existing bridge for the Northem Long-Eazed bat (Myotis septentrionalis). No bats were found on the bridge. Regarding the trees, NCDOT will be working under a tree-cutting moratorium between April I S"� and August 15t° (of any yeaz) for the subject project. See attached concurrence letter from USFWS dated July 17, 2015.

SUMMARY OF HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE AND Descrintion of review activities, results, and canclusions: Review of HPO quad maps, HPO GIS information, historic designations roster, and indexes was undeRaken on June 8, 2015. Based on this review, there are no existing NR, SL, LD, DE, or SS properties in the Area of Potential Effects, which is 300' from each end of the bridge and 75' from the centerline each way. A house northwest of the bridge within the APE, 2929 Stewart Road, was built 1971 based on Stokes County GIS/Tax Information. Two one-story frame tobac:co barns stand independently southeast of the bridge; they are unremarkable and not eligible for National Register listing. Bridge No. 103, built 1975, is also not eligible. There are no National Register listed or eligible propetties, and no survey is required. If design plans change, additional review will be required.

According to the Cultuxal Resouxces Review request the proposed project is 450 feet long (137.16 meters) within a 60-foot (neaxly 18.29-meter) wide right of way (RO�. Additionally, the proposed bridge replacement pxoject includes drunage easements along Wood Benton Branch upstream and downsteeam of the bridge structure. Thus, far the puxposes of this review, the area of potential effeccs (APF.) is esrimated to encompass an axea of nearly .85 acre (neazly .34 hectare), including proposed ROW and permanent drainage easements.

Large aschaeological sites have been located along the nearby Dan Rivex, including two ]arge sites less than a mile to the north of Bridge No. 103. These sites aze located in Dan Riv� and Comus soils (DaA), the same soil unit that dominates the proposed APE £ox the cuc�ent pxoject. Thus, furthex axchaeological investigation was recommended. On August 5, 2015, NCDOT azchaeologists, Shane Petexsen and Bsian Overton completed those recommended invesrigations of the proposed APE. Acwxding to the pTeliminary designs submitted with the Request for Cult�al Resoucces Review, most of the proposed APE temains within e�cisting ROW. These areas, as expected, wexe observed to be genexally disturbed by �ading and highway construcuon. Closes to the drainage, additional permanent dxainage easements are anticipated that extend well outside e�sting ROW. These areas became the focus for the intensive axchaeological survey. The fust subsurface test (STT' No. 1) was placed roughly 11 meters southwest of the edge of pavement for SR 1707 and 11 metexs fxom Wood Benton Bxanch. This axea appeared to be a small elevated area outside e�cisting ROW and was origuially thought to peihaps be a remnant second terrace s�Eace. The sorls in this axea wexe e�ctcemely compact and &lled in the upper levels with road gravel and small pieces of asphalt, suggesting that this azea might have been xelated to the consrruction (ox maintenance) of eithu the bridge or the highway faciliry. The second subsuxface test was placed on the opposite side of the drainage in the open field neazly 18 metexs northeast of the bridge and 15 metexs east of the drainage. This axea exhibited a soil pro5le doses to that e�tpected fox Dan River or Comus soils, though the soil matrix was fairly stiff and dried out. No cultuxal material was encountexed in either subsurface test. No fiuther azchaeological investigations aze xecomxnended far the seplacement of Bridge No. 103 as pxoposed. Should [he ptoject change further investigation may be necessaty. The project as described should be considered to be compliant with Secrion 106 and NCGS121-12a.

As requested by the North Carolina Departrnent of Transportation (NCDOT) in your letter of July 13, 2015, we have reviewed the natural resources information and biological conclusion with regard to the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis) for the subject project. The proposed project includes replacing Bridge No. 103 on SR 1707 (Stewart Road) in Stokes County, North Carolina. We provide the following comments in accordance with the provisions of section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act). Habitat for the NLEB exists along the project corridor and has been evaluated for potential impacts from project implementation. Acwrding to the information provided, no caves or mines were found from a desktop seazch conducted for the project footprint and within one-half mile of the project. The only siructure that will be demolished was checked for bat use and none was observed. The closest summer record for the NLEB is more than 50 miles from the project viciniTy. Potential summer roosting habitat (in the form of forested patches interspersed with farm fields) does exist within the project area, and some trees will be cleazed during project implementation. Based on: (1) the negative surveys for wintering habitat, (2) the fact that no sign of bat use was found during shucture surveys, and (3) a commitrnent by the NCDOT to conduct minimal tree-clearing and their agreement to a tree-cutting moratorium between April 15�' and August 15�' (of any yeaz) for the subject project, we agree that implementation of this project is "not likely to adversely affecY' the NLEB in the project area. In view of this, we believe the requirements under section 7(c) ofthe Act are fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act 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, (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 is determined that may be affected by the identified action. If you haue questions about these comments, please contact Ms. Marella Buncick of our staff at 828/258-3939, Ext. 237. In any future correspondence conceming this project, please reference our Log No. 4-2-15-390. Sincerely, ur�i�i�wl sr�'nc°r!- - Janet A. Mizzi Field Supervisor Little Peters Creek Mitigation Site ONEID 029-005 The Little Peters Creek Mitigation Site is located in Stokes County within the USGS hydrologic unit 03010103 of the Roanoke River. NCDOT acquired the 720 lineaz foot stream enhancement site to mitigate for unavoidable, jurisdictional impacts associated with future projects in the Roanoke River Basin. Monitoring requirements were performed from 2008 to 2012 and the site was closed out in 2013. Table 1 shows the final mitigation quantities approved for the site. The site has been placed on the NCDOT On-site Debit Ledger for use within HUC 03010103. Table 2 indicates all mitigation debits that have occurred per regulatory agency approval. In order to offset unauoidable impacts associated with Bridge #103 on Stewart Road, the Martin Site/Little Peters Creek will be debited 1941inear feet of stream enhancement.
