Project Description: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge No. 279 on SR 1832 (Eagle Mills Road) over Hunting Creek, east of I-77 and north of Eagle Mills, in Iredell County, NC (refer to Appendix A, Sheet 1). The purpose of the project is to replace a structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridge. Constructed in 1975, Bridge No. 279 is a weight -restricted, single -lane, six -span wood/steel bridge that is 151 feet long with a clear roadway width of 14.8 feet. The existing structure carries 200 vehicles per day (2016 ADT), which is anticipated to increase to 325 vehicles by 2040. NCDOT Structure Management Unit records and the National Bridge Inventory indicate that Bridge No. 279 has a superstructure condition rating of 4 (poor condition) out of 9. Bridge railings, transitions, and guardrail ends each have a rating of 0 (does not meet currently acceptable standards). This structure has been identified as a high priority bridge replacement due to sub -standard deck geometry and structural deficiencies. Bridge No. 279 would be replaced in place with an off -site detour (refer to Appendix A, Sheet 1). The proposed three -span, prestressed, concrete cored -slab structure would be approximately 192 feet long. The proposed bridge typical section includes one eastbound lane and one westbound lane, each 10-feet wide, with a minimum clear roadway width of 30.83 feet. The concrete barrier rail on the bridge would be approximately 3.5 feet tall. The project length is approximately 1,550 feet and the proposed design speed is 50 mph. Preliminary plans are included in Appendix A. Anticipated Permit or Consultation Requirements: Although the new bridge would completely span Hunting Creek, proposed impacts include the placement of riprap to provide bank stabilization underneath the new bridge structure and use of a temporary work pad within a portion of the stream during mechanized removal of the existing wood piles located mid -channel. In accordance with Sections 404 of the Clean Water Act, these proposed impacts would be authorized under Regional General Permit 50 (RGP 50) for the discharge of dredged or fill material in waters of the United States associated with maintenance, repair, and construction projects conducted by NCDOT. As the project would involve construction of the replacement bridge on a new alignment, an RGP 50 Pre -Construction Notification will be sent to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wilmington District and a 4135 General Certification will be requested from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR). 07/21/23 1 of 7 DocuSign Envelope ID: 0438B3F0-E424-4B8D-A4DE-8A203FCEC955 Special Proiect Information: Environmental Commitments - The list of project commitments (green sheet) is included at the end of the checklist. Alternatives Evaluation: • No Build - The No -Build Alternative would not eliminate the structural and geometric deficiencies of the existing bridge, and thus is not a viable option. • Build Alternatives - The following Build Alternatives were considered: 1. Rehabilitation - The bridge was constructed in 1975. With a superstructure condition rating of 4 and a deck geometry appraisal rating of 0, this structure has been identified as a high priority bridge replacement and rehabilitation alternatives are not considered prudent. 2. Off -site Detour (Preferred Alternative) - An approximately 6.0-mile off -site detour utilizing Trivette Road (SR 1821), Mullis Road (SR 1816), Zion Liberty Road, and Union Grove Road (SR 1832) was evaluated and determined to be acceptable. Due to the limited width of the existing single - lane bridge, the new bridge would be constructed just north of the existing structure. This alternative minimizes construction time and overall project cost, as compared to construction of an on -site temporary detour bridge or staged construction. 3. On -site Detour - An on -site detour would require construction of a temporary detour bridge, resulting in a longer construction schedule and increased construction costs. Additional challenges associated with this alternative include multiple residences requiring driveway access throughout construction, steep grades in the project area, and numerous utility relocations. In consideration of these issues and since an acceptable off -site detour was available, the on -site detour alternative was not advanced. 4. Staged Construction - Staged construction would require a larger impact footprint to accommodate shoring. This alternative was not carried forward due to the availability of an acceptable off -site detour and the greater impacts and construction cost for the shoring needed to stage construct the new bridge. Relocations — Although acquisition of approximately 1.74 acres of additional right of way is proposed, no relocations would result from the proposed project. Detour - Traffic would be managed with an off -site detour. The detour would follow Eagle Mills Road (SR 1832) south to Trivette Road (SR 1821), northwest to Mullis Road (SR 1816), west to Zion Liberty Road, north to Union Grove Road (SR 1832), and southeast back to Eagle Mills Road (SR 1832), for an approximate distance of 6.0 miles. Threatened & Endangered Species — The U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaQ lists four species for the project study area (PSA). 07/21/23 2 of 7 DocuSign Envelope ID: 0438B3F0-E424-4B8D-A4DE-8A203FCEC955 Survey results for these species, as well as northern long-eared bat (NLEB) and bald eagle, are described below. Glyptemys muhlenbergii (bog turtle, Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance to the northern population) — BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION NOT REQUIRED No suitable habitat exists in the PSA. Helianthus schweinitzii (Schweinitz's sunflower, Endangered) — NO EFFECT Although suitable habitat is present in the PSA in the form of roadside edges and utility clearing areas, an on -site survey on August 26, 2022, and again on October 21, 2022, found no H. schweinitzii within the PSA. Additionally, there are no known occurrences within 1 mile of the PSA. Therefore, it is recommended that this project will have No Effect on Schweinitz's sunflower. Hexastylis naniflora (dwarf -flowered heartleaf, Threatened) - NO EFFECT An on -site survey indicated there is suitable habitat present within the PSA, in the form of a north facing slope with a sparse understory and thick overstory. NCDOT Division 12 Environmental Staff surveyed the area on May 23, 2022, and found multiple Hexastylis plants. It was determined that all plants on site were Hexastylis virginica, a related species that receives no Section 7 protection under the Endangered Species Act. Given there are no H. naniora plants in the PSA and no known occurrences within I mile, it is recommended that this project will have No Effect on dwarf -flowered heartleaf. Perimyotis subflavus (tricolored bat, Proposed Endangered) MAY AFFECT, NOT LIKELY TO ADVERSELY AFFECT [MA;NLAA]) Potential habitat for this species exists within mature trees that are present in the PSA, and within the bridge itself. On -site surveys for bat presence on May 23, 2022, found no evidence of bat utilization of the current structure. Due to the lack of utilization evidence within the structure and lack of known occurrences within 20 miles of the PSA, it is recommended that this project May Affect, but is Not Likely to Adversely Affect the tricolored bat. Myotis septentrionalis (northern long-eared bat [NLEB], Threatened) - NO BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION Although currently listed by IPaC for the PSA, under the recommendation of the NCDOT Biological Survey Group and the USFWS Asheville Regulatory Field Office, projects that fall into the range that extended from the September 2022 area are currently outside of the consultation range; therefore, no Biological Conclusion will be recommended. Haliaeetus leucocephalus (bald eagle) — BALD & GOLDEN EAGLE PROTECTION ACT There is suitable feeding habitat in the form of large creeks and streams within 1.13 miles of the project, but no nests were observed during the onsite investigation. Due to the lack of observed nests and no known bald eagle occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species. 07/21/23 3 of 7 DocuSign Envelope ID: 0438B3F0-E424-4B8D-A4DE-8A203FCEC955 Cultural Resources — The NCDOT Archaeology Group reviewed the proposed project and determined that no archaeology survey is required. Similarly, the NCDOT Historic Architecture and Landscapes Group reviewed the project and determined that the bridge itself is not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and there are no properties in the Area of Potential Effect (APE) greater than 50 years of age; therefore, no survey is required (refer to Appendix B). Floodplain: This project involves construction activities on or adjacent to FEMA-regulated stream(s). Therefore, the Division shall submit sealed as -built construction plans to the Hydraulics Unit upon completion of project construction, certifying that the drainage structure(s) and roadway embankment that are located within the 100-year floodplain were built as shown in the construction plans, both horizontally and vertically. The Hydraulics Unit will coordinate with the NC Floodplain Mapping Program (FMP), to determine the status of project regarding applicability of NCDOT'S Memorandum of Agreement, or approval of a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) and subsequent final Letter of Map Revision (LOMR).

SUMMARY OF HISTORIC ARCHICTECTURE AND LANDSCAPES REVIEW Description of review activities, results, and conclusions: Review of HPO quad maps, relevant background reports, historic designations roster, and indexes was undertaken on March 7, 2016. Based on this review there are no NR, DE, LL, or SL in the Area of Potential Effects (APE). The bridge itself, Iredell County Bridge No. 279, was built in 1975 was identified as a Surveyed Site. The structure does not exemplify any distinctive engineering or aesthetic type and is not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The Iredell County online tax data reveal no properties in the APE greater than fifty years of age. No survey is required. This project was resubmitted in March 2023. There are no properties over 50 ears of age. No Survey is required. Why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predictinz that there are no unidentified significant historic architectural or landscape resources in the Proiect area: Using HPO GIS website and county tax data provides reliable information regarding the structures in the APE. These combined utilities are considered valid for the purposes of determining the likelihood of historic resources being present.

PROJECT INFORMATION Project No WBS No. B-5394 46109.1.1 Federal Permit Required? Project Description: County: Iredell Document: Libr/Mcc Funding: ® State ❑ Federal ® Yes ❑ No Permit Type: nw3 or nw14 NOTE: Revised in March 2023 to consider new designs which results in a longer APE. NCDOT proposes to replace Bridge No. 279 over Hunting Creek on SR 1832 (Eagle Mills Road) in Iredell County, TIP 9 13- 5394. This is a state funded project, however a federal permit (Nationwide Permit 3 or Nationwide Permit 14) is required from the USACE. Therefore, this is a federal undertaking and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act applies. The original review, dated 11/4/2016, considered the project as a Low Impact Bridge Replacement project (LIBR), and, as such, had a minimal footprint, limited new impacts, and an offsite detour. For this revised review, a longer project length has been studied for a preliminary design which would construct the new bridge on the north side of the existing Br. No. 279. Since the APE has been expanded and includes potential impacts no considered earlier, a revision of the archaeological is necessary. The revised Area of Potential Effects (APE), for purposes of this revised review, is 100 feet wide to either side of the roadway centerline, and 2000 feet long (0.38 miles). This results in a similar width to the original review, but an extension in length of about 1400 feet. This APE allows for multiple alternatives with the most recent designs having a project length of about 1550 feet. An offsite detour is no longer being considered as an alternative. Construction of a new bridge north of the existing crossing is preferred. Much of the APE has already been modified by the construction of the existing SR 1832 and bridge, and the previous alignments and crossings at this location. SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions: The project limits have been expanded and available preliminary design mapping has a new bridge adjacent to the existing on the north side of SR 1832. New ROW is expected on the north side of the APE for placement of the road realignment, cut and fill, and also easements may be required. USGS mapping (Brooks Crossroads) and aerial photography was studied (see Figures 1 and 2). The project area along SR 1832 passes through rural landscape, with a cleared yard and residence on the northwest quadrant, light woods to the northeast and southeast, and forest to the southwest. Generally, SR 1832 slopes moderately towards Hunting creek from the north, afterwhich there is steep terrain on the southern side. Some utilities and driveways are noted in the aerials, as are guardrails. The topography along Hunting Creek varies in this section of Iredell County. There are some locations along the medium sized creek of moderate or broad floodplains, but here there is very little or none. Figure 2 illustrates the sloped, hilly terrain present at the project using contour lines diplayed at 2-foot intervals. From the north, the soils are described using a eroded notation, either Fairview sandy clay loam (FrD2, 10- 15 percent slopes) or Fairview sandy clay loam (FwE2, 15-25 percent slopes). The southern APE has soils described as the very steep and stony Rhodhiss-Stott Knob complex (RhF, 25-60 percent slope) with more "No ARCHAEOLOGY SURVEY REQUIRED "formfor the Amended Minor Transportation Projects as Qualified in the 2020 Programmatic Agreement. 1 of 5 DocuSign Envelope ID: 0438B3F0-E424-4B8D-A4DE-8A203FCEC955 Project Tracking No.: 16-02-0016 SUPPORT DOCUMENTATION See attached: ® Map(s) ❑ Previous Survey Info ❑ Photos ❑Correspondence ❑ Photocopy of County Survey Notes Other: FINDING BY NCDOT ARCHAEOLOGIST "No ARCHAEOLOGY SURVEY REQUIRED "form for the Amended Minor Transportation Projects as Qualified in the 2020 Programmatic Agreement. 3 of 5
