Type I or II Categorical Exclusion Action Classification Form
STIP Project No. HB-0003
WBS Element 49623.1.1
Federal Project No. 0040121
A. Project Description:
The purpose of this project is to replace Haywood County Bridge No. 239 on 1-40 over SR 1550
(Incinerator Road). Bridge No. 239 is 141 feet long. The replacement structure will be a culvert/tunnel
approximately 170 feet long on SR 1550 (Incinerator Road). The culvert/tunnel will include two 11-foot
lanes with a 4-foot offset along SR 1550 (Incinerator Road). The culvert/tunnel length is based on
preliminary design information. The minimum vertical clearance for the culvert/tunnel will be 16-foot.
The typical section along 1-40 will provide two 12-foot lanes in each direction along with 12-foot outside
paved shoulders and a variable 7.5-foot to 13.5-foot inside paved shoulder. The total outside shoulder
width will be 14-foot (17-foot with guardrail). The approach roadway along 1-40 will extend
approximately 1,400 feet from the west end of the new tunnel and 1,350 feet from the east end of the
new tunnel. SR 1550 (Incinerator Road) will be closed during construction of the tunnel while traffic is
detoured using SR 1513 (Thickety Road). At least two lanes of traffic in each direction will be maintained
on 1-40 during construction utilizing temporary onsite detours. The roadway will be designed as an
Interstate Route with a 70 mile per hour design speed.
B. Description of Need and Purpose:39 has a sufficiency rating of 67.72 out of a possible 100 for a new
structure.
Components of Bridge No. 239 are experiencing an increasing degree of deterioration that can no longer
be addressed by reasonable maintenance activities, therefore the bridge is approaching the end of its
useful life.
C. Categorical Exclusion Action Classification:
Type I(A) - Ground Disturbing Action
D. Proposed Improvements:
28. Bridge rehabilitation, reconstruction, or replacement or the construction of grade separation to
replace existing at -grade railroad crossings, if the actions meet the constraints in 23 CFR
771.117(e)(1-6).
NOTE: The following Type I(C) Actions (NCDOT-FHWA 2019 CE Agreement, Appendix A) only
require completion of Sections A through D to substantiate and document the CE classification: 1,
5, 8 (signs and pavement markings only), 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, and 20; or several other Type 1
Action subcategories identified in past NCDOT-FHWA CE Programmatic Agreements (see
Appendix D). Pre -approval as a CE does not exempt activities from compliance with other
federal environmental laws.

E. Special Project Information:
Alternatives Discussion:
No Build — The no build alternative would result in eventually closing the road which is unacceptable
given the volume of traffic served by 1-40.
Rehabilitation — The bridges were constructed in 1961 and the materials within the bridge are reaching
the end of their useful life. Rehabilitation would require replacing the components which would constitute
effectively replacing the bridge.
Offsite Detour — For construction of the tunnel SR 1550 (Incinerator Road) will be closed during
construction of the tunnel while traffic is detoured using SR 1513 (Thickety Road).
Preferred Alternative — The preferred alternative replaces the bridges with a culvert/tunnel on SR 1550
(Incinerator Road) in the existing location. The culvert/tunnel length is based on preliminary design
information. The minimum vertical clearance for the culvert/tunnel will be 16-foot. SR 1550 (Incinerator
Road) will be closed during construction of the tunnel while traffic is detoured using SR 1513 (Thickety
Road). At least two lanes of traffic in each direction will be maintained on 1-40 during construction
utilizing temporary onsite detours.
Estimated Costs:
The estimated costs are as follows:
R/W & Utilities: $ 1,000,000
Const: $ 7,100,000
Total: $ 8,100,000
Estimated Traffic:
2024 (Let) 58,800 vpd
2045 (Design) 82,900 vpd
TTST 14%
Dual 4%
Design Exceptions: There are no design exceptions anticipated
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accommodations: SR 1550 (Incinerator Rd) is not a part of a designated
bicycle route nor is it listed in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) as a bicycle project. In
addition, it is not shown in either the 2011 Haywood Co. Bicycle Plan or the 2019 Canton Bicycle &
Pedestrian plan to be designated as a bicycle route. The bridges on 1-40 are to be replaced with a tunnel
on Beaverdam Rd. The tunnel will have a 4' paved shoulder on both sides..
Anticipated Permit or Consultation Requirements:
A Nationwide Permit will likely be required from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for impacts
to "Waters of the United States" resulting from this project. In addition, an NCDWR Section 401 Water
Quality General Certification (GC) may be required prior to the issuance of a Section 404 Permit. The
USACE holds the final discretion as to what permit will be required to authorize project construction.
Public Outreach:
A newsletter was sent to all property owners affected directly by this project and Public Input Webpage
was setup as well. Property owners were invited to comment. No comments have been received to
date.

Endangered Species:
Gray bat, Indiana bat, Northern long-eared bat, Tricolored Bat, and little brown bat
On July 14, 2022, biologists assessed all of the structures in the project study area. Crevices suitable
for roosting are present on Bridge 239. No evidence of bats (bats, staining, guano) was observed on the
structure. No evidence of bats was observed in the culvert that was inspected. Trees greater than 3"
dbh are present in the project area. Two snags (a walnut and an ash) greater than 5" dbh was present
in the vicinity of the bridge. There are no known caves or mines within one half mile of the project footprint
and no caves or mines were observed during the field visit. Large, continuous forests are present in the
project vicinity, providing potential foraging and commuting habitat.
A Biological Conclusion of May Affect Not Likely To Adversely Affect is given to each of the above
species based on the presence of suitable foraging and commuting habitat. No evidence of bats was
found on the structures, no caves or mines are in the area, and a large area of alternative available
suitable habitat exists in the project vicinity.
Rock Gnome Lichen
The study area does not contain suitable habitat for rock gnome lichen as the project area does not
contain deep river gorges or high elevation rock outcrops that would provide adequately humid areas.
A review of NCNHP records, updated January 3, 2022, indicates no known occurrences within 1.0 mile
of the study area. The biological conclusion is No Effect.
Small Whorled Pogonia
Habitat for small whorled pogonia was identified throughout the project limits along forested slopes and
suitable streamside areas. These areas were surveyed by CEI biologists on June 22, 2022. No Isotria
medeoloides plants were observed. Due to the lack of observed plants or recorded occurrences near
the study area, it has been determined that HB-0003 will have No Effect on this species.

PROJECT INFORMATION
Project No: HB-0003 County: Haywood
WBS No: 49623.1.1 Document: Federal CE
F.A. No: Funding: ❑ State ❑ Federal
Federal Permit Required? ® Yes ❑ No Permit Type: NWP 3 / NWT 14
Project Description: Replace Bridge 239 on I-40 over SR 1550 (Incinerator Road) in Haywood
County, North Carolina.The archaeological Area of Potential Effects (APE) for the project
encompasses approximately 35.62 acres along the north and south sides of I-40, east and west of
Incinerator Road (SR 1550), and measures approximately 3,093 feet (943 meters) east -west and
487 feet (148 m) north -south.
SUMMARY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDINGS
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Archaeology Team has reviewed
the subject project and determined:
® There are no National Register listed ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES within the project's area
of potential effects. (Attach any notes or documents as needed.)
❑ No subsurface archaeological investigations were required for this project.
❑ Subsurface investigations did not reveal the presence of any archaeological resources.
Subsurface investigations did not reveal the presence of any archaeological resources
considered eligible for the National Register.
❑ All identified archaeological sites located within the APE have been considered and all
compliance for archaeological resources with Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and GS 121-12(a) has been completed for this project.
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
Two previously unidentified archaeological resources (31HW666 and 31HW667) were identified
by the survey (Table 1). These are single occurrences of precontact (31HW667) or postcontact
(31 HW666) artifacts located on either side of Bowen Creek or Branch, a small tributary of the Pigeon
River west of Incinerator Road. Site 31HW666 is recommended not eligible for National Register
of Historic Places (NRHP) under all four criteria, and no further consideration of that resource is
recommended within the current APE. Site 31HW667 appears to have little potential to provide
substantial information on the prehistory of the area and is likely not eligible for the NRHP under
Criterion D or any other criterion, but is considered unassessed for NRHP eligibility due to the lack
of full delineation to the north. No additional consideration of this site is recommended within the
presently -defined APE, but in the event that the project APE is expanded to the north, further work
is recommended to determine the full extent of the site in that direction. A ca. 7.41-acre portion of
the APE located north of I-40 and east of Incinerator Road (SR 1550) encompassing two properties
could not be surveyed due to lack of landowner access (see Figure 13, below). Survey of those
properties is recommended once access permission can be obtained. For additional information,

Proiect Description:
Replace Bridge No. 239 on I-40 over SR 1500 (Incinerator Rd).
SUMMARY OF HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPES REVIEW
Description of review activities, results, and conclusions:
Review of HPOGIS web service was undertaken on February 10, 2021. Based on this review,
there are no existing NR, DE, LL, SL or SS properties in the project area. There are no structures
over 50 years of age in the Area of Potential Effects (APE). The bridge replacement will remain
within existing ROW. There is not an interchange at this bridge. No Survey required. On October
11, 2021, the APE was expanded. There are no structures in the additional areas which are greater
than 50 years old. No survey is required.
Why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably Predicting that there are
no unidentified significant historic architectural or landscape resources in the Proiect area:
HPOGIS and County Tax Data provide reliable information regarding structures in the APE.
These combined utilities are considered valid for purposes of determining the likelihood of
historic resources being present.
