Subject: Pre-Construction Notification: Nationwide Permit 23
B-5196 - Replacement of Bridge No. 528 over Flat Creek on Texas Road
Buncombe County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Beckworth;
The Town of Montreat proposes to relocate Bridge No. 528 over Flat Creek on Texas Road under the
NCDOT Municipal Bridge Program. Enclosed is an application for a Clean Water Act Section 404
Nationwide Permit 23 and 401 General Water Quality Certification No. 3891.
The purpose of this project is to replace a structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridge. The
existing bridge was built in 1960. It has reached the end of its useful life, exhibiting a degree of
deterioration that can no longer be addressed by maintenance activities; therefore, the existing bridge
is currently closed to vehicular traffic due to safety concerns related to its state of deterioration.
Replacement of the bridge is needed to provide safer access and mobility in the study area as well as
to improve community connections. The project is needed to support event circulation and ongoing
access to Montreat College and the Montreat Conference Center, a retreat and conference center
around which the Town of Montreat was founded and which remains a focus of activity for the
community. Additionally, the replacement would maintain safe pedestrian access across Flat Creek
and between several adjacent recreation areas, supporting an existing pedestrian path that crosses the
bridge.
The bridge will be replaced just upstream of the existing bridge. The existing bridge is a 27.5' timber
deck on steel I-beams and timber abutments. The proposed work will include removal of the existing
bridge and construction of a new bridge immediately upstream of the existing bridge. The new bridge
will measure 60' x 39'-8", and will be a 24" cored slab on vertical abutments. The project also involves
a relocation of an existing sewer with no additional tie-ins/connections.

The impacts to waters of the U.S. for this project will be 40 linear feet of permanent stream impacts
for bank stabilization.
Utilities associated with the project include one sewer line on the eastern side of the bridge and one
sewer line on the south side of the bridge. The sewer line will be relocated upstream along with the
bridge. No impacts to waters of the US are anticipated for utility relocation.
The preceding information, along with the enclosed project information sheet, Pre-Construction
Notification (PCN), vicinity map, U.S Geological Survey (USGS) map, jurisdictional features map,
Stormwater Management Plan, construction plans, and Categorical Exclusion are being submitted for
your review. A copy of this application is also being sent to the NC Division of Water Resources for
their 401 Certification review.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you have any questions or require any additional
information at 919-278-2504 or [e-mail].
Sincerely,
KCI Associates of NC

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Bridge replacement and associated roadway improvements have been designed in a manner to minimize the increase in
impervious surface area to the maximum extent possible. No deck drains will be used on the bridge, reducing stream pollution
associated with direct roadway runoff. Additional measures have been implemented to reduce impacts to the stream and
surrounding properties include, maintaining existing drainage patterns, using 2:1 fill slopes and discharging stormwater runoff
as far away from the stream as practicable. Further, rip rap pads are being used to dissipate erosive energy at pipe outlets.
The new bridge will be elevated completely above the 100-year storm elevation.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
NCDOT will implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Bridge Demolition and Removal. NCDOT's BMPs for the
Protection of Surface Waters will be strictly enforced during construction of this project. Additionally, top-down construction will
be employed and no temporary structures will be used during construction.

General Project Narrative: This project involves the replacement of Bridge No. 100528 over Flat Creek on Texas Road in Montreat, NC (Buncombe County). The existing bridge, a 1@ 27.5' timber deck
(Description of Minimization of Water with steel I-beams, and timber abutments, will be replaced with a 1@ 60' - 24" Cored Slab Bridge with vertical abutments. Bridge replacement and associated roadway
Quality Impacts) improvements have been designed in a manner to minimize the increase in impervious surface area to the maximum extent possible. No deck drains will be used on the bridge,
reducing stream pollution associated with direct roadway runoff. Additional measures have been implemented to reduce impacts to the stream and surrounding properties
include, maintaining existing drainage patterns, using 2:1 fill slopes and discharging stormwater runoff as far away from the stream as practicable. Further, rip rap pads are
being used to dissipate erosive energy at pipe outlets.

Bridge No. 528 on Texas Road
over Flat Creek
Federal Aid Project No. BRZ-1329(6)
W.B.S. No. 45252.1.1
S.T.I.P. No. B-5196
INTRODUCTION: Improvements to Bridge No. 528 are included in the latest approved North
Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
as project B-5196 and is eligible for the Federal-Aid Highway Bridge Program. The location is shown in
Figure 1. No substantial environmental impacts are anticipated; therefore, the project is classified as
a Federal "Categorical Exclusion."
I. PURPOSE AND NEED STATEMENT
NCDOT Bridge Management Unit records indicate Bridge No. 528 has a sufficiency rating of 21.9 out
of a possible 100 for a new structure. It was constructed in 1960 and has reached the end of its useful
life, exhibiting a degree of deterioration that can no longer be addressed by maintenance activities;
therefore, the existing bridge is currently closed to vehicular traffic due to safety concerns related to
its state of deterioration. Replacement of the bridge is needed to provide safer access and mobility in
the study area as well as to improve community connections. The project is needed to support event
circulation and ongoing access to Montreat College and the Montreat Conference Center, a retreat
and conference center around which the Town of Montreat was founded and which remains a focus
of activity for the community. Additionally, the replacement would maintain safe pedestrian access
across Flat Creek and between several adjacent recreation areas, supporting an existing pedestrian
path that crosses the bridge.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project is located within the limits of the Town of Montreat in Buncombe County, near the
intersections ofTexas Road with Texas Spur Road and Assembly Drive (see Figure 1). An existing
bridge (Bridge No. 528) crosses Flat Creek. Land use in the project study area consists primarily of a
maintained park interspersed with forestland and streams, along with residential and institutional
development along surrounding roadways. Montreat College is located 1,500 feet to the northeast of
the existing bridge. The Montreat Conference Center, a large facility that hosts approximately 35,000
visitors per year, is located 1,450 feet northeast of the bridge and uses Texas Road to provide
additional access during events.
The area immediately surrounding the bridge contains a number of park and recreational facilities
that are integral to the community, including youth during summer programs hosted by the
Montreat Conference Center. Welch Field, which includes a baseball field, is owned by the Montreat
Conference Center and is located immediately to the west of the bridge. East of the bridge is Robert
Lake Park, a recreational resource with a variety of facilities including the Patricia Cornwell Tennis
Center, the Bill Wilde Youth Center, the Updike Child Care Center, a playing field, playground, and
recreational trail. The majority of this property is owned by the Montreat Conference Center;
however, the Town of Montreat has two small inholding parcels in this area (see Figure 1).

Bridge No. 528 is on Texas Road, which is not classified in the Statewide Functional Classification
System as it is not a state road or a National Highway System Route. The 1981 traffic volume of 150
vehicles per day (VPD) is projected to increase to 300 VPD by the year 2025. As noted above, the
bridge is currently closed to vehicular traffic, but the posted speed limit in the project area is 20 miles
per hour.
Bridge No. 528 is a single-span structure that consists of a timber deck on steel beams supported by
timber abutments. The overall length of the structure is 27.5 feet. The clear roadway width is 19.5
feet. The bridge is currently closed to vehicular traffic due to its deteriorated condition. There are no
utilities attached to the existing structure, but an existing sewer crosses Flat Creek in an aerial
crossing just south of the existing bridge. Overhead power and communication lines also cross
directly above the bridge.
In the vicinity of the bridge, Texas Road has a 16-foot pavement width with 2-foot unpaved shoulders
(see Figures 2 and 3). The existing roadway alignment includes a poorly aligned intersection with
steep gradients (Texas Road Spur) just east of the bridge, and severe curvature just west of the
bridge. Texas Road intersects with Assembly Drive approximately 185 feet north of Bridge No. 528.
Assembly Drive is the primary north-south roadway through the Town of Montreat. In the vicinity of
the project, it is a two-lane paved roadway with a 2-foot paved shoulder on the west side and a 4-
foot paved shoulder on the east side. This wider shoulder is marked for use by bicycles. There are
concrete sidewalks on the west side of Assembly Drive and a gravel pull off area on the east side of
Assembly Drive immediately north of its intersection with Texas Road. Several intersections are
located along Assembly Drive within a short distance. Approximately 100 feet north of the
intersection of Texas Road and Assembly Drive, Tennessee Road intersects Assembly Drive. Georgia
Terrace Drive intersects with Assembly Drive another 250 feet to the north.
This section of Texas Road, including Bridge No. 528, is not part of a designated bicycle route, nor is it
listed in the STIP as needing incidental bicycle accommodations. Pedestrian activity in the vicinity of
the bridge is heavy. Although sidewalks are not currently present on the existing bridge, a
recreational trail parallels Flat Creek from Assembly Drive just north of its intersection with Texas
Road Extension through Robert Lake Park and uses existing bridge #528 to cross Flat Creek. The trail
is actively used by youth summer camps associated with the Montreat Conference Center, as well as
by residents who access the park and its amenities year round.
III. ALTERNATIVES
Multiple alternatives were considered for the project, including the no-build alternative,
rehabilitation of the existing bridge, replacing the existing bridge in its current location, and
constructing a new bridge on a new alignment. Options for pedestrian access across Flat Creek were
also considered.
A. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Consideration
The no-build alternative (Option A) would include continued closure of the existing bridge. This
would not be acceptable due to the traffic service provided by Texas Road, the surrounding road
network, and pedestrian facilities in the project vicinity.
2

Rehabilitation of the existing bridge would not be practical due to its age and deteriorated condition.
The bridge has a sufficiency rating of 21.9 out of a possible 100 for a new structure and is currently
closed to vehicular traffic due to safety concerns related to its state of deterioration.
Staged construction is not feasible or applicable for this bridge, as the bridge is currently closed to
traffic and traffic need not be maintained on the bridge during construction.
One preliminary alternative to replace the bridge was eliminated from further consideration.
Option C(New Location at Welch Field) would cross Flat Creek upstream of the existing bridge at
Welch Field. This alternative was eliminated early in the planning process due to public comments
regarding impacts to the Field.
B. Reasonable and Feasible Alternatives
Three alternatives for replacing Bridge No. 528 were studied and are described below (see Figure 2).
Option B involves replacement of the existing structure along the current roadway alignment. Based
on preliminary hydraulic modeling, the existing bridge would be replaced with a 1@ 65-foot 24"
cored slab bridge on a 90 degree skew. Since the proposed bridge is a tangent structure located along
a curved alignment, the bridge would need to be significantly wider than the other alternate bridges.
The minimum grade across the bridge would be 0.3% and vertical sags should not be located on the
structure or approach slab. The minimum low chord would be set above elevation 2,594.6 feet based
on preliminary hydraulic modeling. The size of the proposed bridge and the recommended roadway
elevation may be adjusted (increased or decreased) to accommodate design floods as determined in
the final hydraulic design. A retaining wall would be installed along the side of Texas Road to avoid
impacts to the adjacent recreational field. A pedestrian sidewalk would be included on one side of
the bridge.
Option D involves construction of a new bridge approximately 170 feet upstream of the existing
bridge, intersecting Assembly Drive directly opposite Tennessee Road. The existing bridge would be
retained for pedestrian use. Based on preliminary hydraulic modeling, the proposed bridge should be
a 1@ 100-foot 39" box beam bridge on a 70 degree skew. The minimum grade across the bridge
should be 0.3% and vertical sags should not be located on the structure or either approach slab. The
minimum grade should be set above elevation 2,600.0 feet based on preliminary hydraulic modeling.
The length of the proposed bridge and the recommended roadway elevation may be adjusted
(increased or decreased) to accommodate design floods as determined in the final hydraulic design.
Option E would be a new bridge located approximately 300 feet upstream of the existing bridge.
Based on preliminary hydraulic modeling, the proposed bridge should be a 1@ 80-foot 33" box beam
bridge on a 90 degree skew. The minimum grade across the bridge should be 0.3% and vertical sags
should not be located on the structure or approach slab. The minimum low chord should be set
above elevation 2,605.8 feet based on preliminary hydraulic modeling. The length of the proposed
bridge and the recommended roadway elevation may be adjusted (increased or decreased) to
accommodate design floods as determined in the final hydraulic design.

This alignment would cross the Robert Lake Park adjacent to the Patricia Cornwell Tennis Center and
in close proximity to other recreational resources at the park, including the Youth Center and
playground areas. This alternative would also create a new intersection with Assembly Drive that is
offset from the existing intersection of Assembly Drive and Tennessee Road.
C. Preferred Alternative
Bridge No. 528 will be replaced in place as shown by Option B in Figure 2. No detour would be
required during construction, as the bridge is currently closed to vehicular traffic, and travelers are
using alternate routes. This alternative is preferred by the Town of Montreat and was selected
because it would have the lowest environmental and community impacts and would not impact
adjacent recreational areas. In addition, as described in Section VI below, the replacement bridge
would better reflect the character of the National Register-eligible Montreat Historic District than the
current bridge with some commitments, including use of stamped and stained concrete on some
surfaces and use of native plant materials to revegetate disturbed areas.

V. NATURAL EIVVIRONMEIVT
Natural resources in the project study area were reviewed in the field in October 2012 and
documented in a Natural Resources Technical Report (NRTR) (KCI, January 2013), incorporated by
reference. This section includes a summary of the existing conditions, as well as the potential
environmental impacts of the alternatives.
A. Physical Characteristics
Water Resources
Water resources in the study area are part of the French Broad Basin [U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
Hydrologic Unit 06010105]. Two streams were identified in the study area — Flat Creek [NCDWQ
Index Number 6-78-6-(4)] and an unnamed tributary (UT) to Flat Creek.
Flat Creek has been designated as Class C from Big Piney Branch to its confluence with Swannanoa
River (NCDENR, 2006). The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has not identified
Flat Creek as a trout water, however Swannanoa River located approximately 2 miles downstream of
the project site is classified as a hatchery supported trout water. There are no designated
anadromous fish waters or Primary Nursery Areas (PNA) present in the study area and no designated
High Quality Waters (HQW) or water supply watersheds (WS-I or WS-II) within 1.0 mile downstream
of the study area. There are no benthic/or fish monitoring data available for any streams in the study
area. Flat Creek is not listed on the North Carolina 2012 Draft 303(d) list of impaired waters.
However, the list identifies the Swannanoa River downstream of the study area as an impaired water
due to ecological/biological integrity benthos (NCDENR, 2012).
Floodplains/Floodways
The proposed bridge replacement would not adversely affect the floodplain and therefore, floodway
modification is not required. Buncombe County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance
Program. As shown in the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for Buncombe County (panel 0710, dated
January 6, 2010), the proposed project is located in an area within the 100-year flood (Zone AE), and
where base flood elevations have been determined.
B. Biotic Resources
Terrestrial communities in the study area can be classified as maintained/disturbed, mixed
hardwood, or Acidic Cove Forest (typic subtype). Detailed descriptions of these community types and
species observed in the study area can be found in the NRTR.

C. Jurisdictional Topics
Surface Waters and Wetlands
As noted above, two jurisdictional streams were identified in the study area (Flat Creek and
Puncheon Branch). The location of these streams is shown on Figure 1. These streams are both
perennial and have been designated as cold water streams for the purposes of stream mitigation.
Based on a review of waters of the US in the office and in the field, no jurisdictional wetlands were
identified within the study area.
Permits
The proposed project has been designated as a Categorical Exclusion (CE) for the purposes of
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation. As a result, a Nationwide Permit (NWP) 23
will likely be applicable. A NWP No. 33 may also apply for temporary construction activities such as
stream dewatering, work bridges, or temporary causeways that are often used during bridge
construction or rehabilitation.
Federally Protected Species
As of January 14, 2014, the United States Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) lists thirteen federally-protected
species for Buncombe County. However, there are no habitats for these protected species within the
study area; therefore, the biological conclusion for each is No Effect.

A USFWS proposal for listing the Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) as an endangered
species was published in the Federal register in October 2013. The listing will become effective on or
before April 2015. NCDOT is working closely with the USFWS to understand how this proposed listing
may impact NCDOT projects. NCDOT will continue to coordinate appropriately with USFWS to
determine if this project will incur effects to the Northern long-eared bat, and how to address these
potential effects if necessary.
Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle Protection Act
Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forest in proximity to large bodies of open
water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically within one mile of

open water. There are no large bodies of open water within one mile of the project study area.
Suitable habitat for bald eagle does not exist within the project study area.
VI. HUMAN ENVIRONMENT
A. Section 106 Compliance Guidelines
This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of
1966, as amended, and implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations
for Compliance with Section 106, codified at Title 36 CFR Part 800. Section 106 requires Federal
agencies to take into account the effect of their undertakings (federally funded, licensed, or
permitted) on properties included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places
and afford the Advisory Council a reasonable opportunity to comment on such undertakings.
Historic Architecture
A survey of historic resources was conducted within the preliminary viewshed of the proposed
options in June 2013. Findings were presented to the HPO on June 25, 2013. At this meeting, the HPO
recognized a potential Montreat National Register Historic District with as-yet undetermined
boundaries, and stated that a reconnaissance-level architectural survey should seek to identify
potential contributing resources to this district within the visual Area of Potential Effect (APE) of the
bridge project, but without surveying the remainder of the Town of Montreat. The HPO defined the
APE for this project and its three build alternatives (Options B, D, and E) as an area within Montreat
comprising 32 tax parcels and their associated structures.
In September 2013, TRC conducted archival research and field survey of those 32 parcels. One
previously surveyed architectural resource, the Community Building (BN 0340), and 29 newly
surveyed resources (including the Texas Road Bridge) were recorded, mapped, and photographed
during the survey. Two properties within the survey area, 310 Texas Road and 239 Assembly Drive,
contained buildings constructed in 1988 and 2009, respectively, and were not surveyed due to age.
Of the 30 surveyed properties, 23 are recommended as contributing to the potential Montreat
Historic District. One property, the former Community Building, is recommended as individually
eligible for listing in the National Register under Criteria A and C. The existing Texas Road Bridge is
not eligible as an individual resources and is not a contributing resource to the historic district. The
findings of this study are documented in a Historic Structures Report and National Register Evaluation
(November 2013).
There would be no direct impacts to any of the properties that contribute to the potential Montreat
Historic District. Based on coordination with the HPO, a replacement bridge would better reflect the
character of the historic district than the current bridge with some commitments, including use of
stamped and stained concrete on some surfaces and use of native plant materials to revegetate
disturbed areas.
The Preferred Alternative was determined to have no adverse effect on the Montreat Historic District
with the following commitments:
Exterior bridge rails, wing walls, and retaining wall (side facing recreational field) will be
stamped and stained concrete to match the appearance of the Lookout Road bridge
treatment as closely as possible.

• The side of the bridge with the pedestrian sidewalk will have a one-bar metal rail set on the
parapet, with a minimum height of 42 inches. The final design of the rail will be coordinated
with NCDOT Structure Design and approved by HPO.
• All plant materials needed to restore the disturbed areas will be native plants.
• Standard metal guardrail will be used.
• The final design will be provided to the HPO for review and comment.
A copy of the HPO's determination of effects dated October 28, 2014, is included in the appendix.
Archaeology
An archaeological survey of a 500 by 200 foot area encompassing the three build alternatives
considered (Options B, D, and E) was conducted in September 2013 (Archaeological Survey for the
Proposed Replacement of Bridge No. 528 on Texas Road over Flat Creek, November 2013). Some
historic artifacts, likely related to the former Montreat post office, general store, and other
commercial buildings that once stood in the area, were found on the north side of Flat Creek.
However, the site (31BN989) is ineligible for the National Register. Additionally, much of the
proposed project will be constructed on fill, and construction activities will not impact any intact soils
that might exist along Flat Creek beneath existing fill. Therefore, no further archaeological
investigations are required.
B. Community Impacts
Potential community impacts are documented in a Community Impact Assessment (November 2013).
No adverse impact on families or communities is anticipated. No adverse effect on public facilities or
services is expected. The project is not expected to adversely affect social, economic, or religious
opportunities in the area. Right-of-way acquisition will be limited, and no relocatees are expected
with implementation of any alternative.
As the existing bridge is closed, there is no risk of direct impact on traffic flows and no transit, school,
or -S concerns should arise from construction. Reopening of the bridge will improve access and traffic
flows around the Updike Child Care Center and Robert Lake Park, as well as provide additional
connection via Texas Road to Montreat College and the Montreat Conference Center.
The project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulation. No change in land
use is expected to result from the construction of the project.
The project will not have a disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental
effect on any minority or low-income population.
C. Section 4(f) Resources
The Preferred Alternative would not result in any use of Section 4(f) resources. As discussed above,
the study area includes privately-owned lands that are used for recreational purposes; however,
these resources are part of Robert Lake Park, which is privately-owned by the Montreat Conference
Center. While the Town of Montreat owns property adjacent to this park, the town's property is not
considered to be part of the park. Therefore, Section 4(f) does not apply to the park. Also, as
discussed above, the Texas Road Bridge is not a contributing element to the potential Montreat
Historic District, and because the town owns all property associated with the construction of the

replacement bridge, there is no direct, temporary, or constructive use, and therefore Section 4(f)
does not apply.
D. Noise & Air Quality
The project is located in Buncombe County, which is in compliance with the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards. The proposed project is located in an attainment area; therefore, 40 CFR Parts 51
and 93 are not applicable. This project is not anticipated to create any adverse effects on the air
quality of this attainment area.
This project will not result in any meaningful changes in traffic volume, vehicle mix, location of the
existing facility, or any other factor that would cause an increase in emissions impacts relative to the
no-build alternative. As such FHWA has determined that this project will generate minimal air quality
impacts for Clean Air Act criteria pollutants and has not been linked with any special mobile source
air toxics (MSAT) concerns. Consequently this effort is exempt from analysis for MSATs.
Noise levels may increase during project construction; however, these impacts are not expected to
be substantial considering the relatively short-term nature of construction noise and the limitation of
construction to daytime hours. The transmission loss characteristics of nearby natural elements and
man-made structures are believed to be sufficient to moderate the effects of intrusive construction
noise.
VII. GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The project is expected to have an overall positive impact. Construction of a new bridge will result in
safer traffic operations and improve circulation and access in Montreat and around the Montreat
Conference Center.
The replacement of Bridge No. 528 will not have an adverse effect on the quality of the human or
natural environment with the use of the current North Carolina Department of Transportation
standards and specifications.
No sites presently or formerly containing petroleum underground storage tanks (UST's) have been
identified within the project limits.
Buncombe County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program. There are no practical
alternatives to crossing the floodplain area. Any shift in alignment will result in an impact area of
about the same magnitude. The proposed project is not anticipated to increase the level or extent of
upstream flood potential.
VIII. COORDINATION & AGENCY COMMENTS
NCDOT has sought input from the following agencies as a part of the project development:
• Federal Highway Administration
• North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources State Historic Preservation Office
• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

A Scoping Letter for this project was distributed to these agencies, as well as other state agencies
through the State Environmental Clearinghouse, on October 26, 2012. Below is a summary of
comments received in response to these letters and responses to comments, if appropriate
(comments which were responded to are underlined). Responses of "No Comment" were received
from NC Department of Agriculture and NCDOT-Statewide Planning. Copies of all letters are included
in the appendix.
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (Natural Heritage Program)
in a letter dated November 14, 2012, indicated that the State Special Concern Hellbender
(Cryptobranchus alleganiensis) is present in Flat Creek approximately one-half mile southwest of the
bridge site and could potentially be present closer to the bridge. Additionally, as drainage from the
bridge site flows toward the identified Hellbender location, the Natural Heritage Program
recommends that proper sedimentation controls be implemented during construction to avoid creek
and species impacts. This response further noted that while much of the forested area near the
bridge site is part of a large North Carolina Clean Water Management Trust Fund easement, no direct
impacts are anticipated to these lands.
The North Carolina Department of Natural Resources (Division of Environmental Assistance and
Outreach) also submitted a project review form with permit information. According to this form, the
project will require a 401 Water Quality Certification and the regional office should be notified if
"orphan" underground storage tanks are discovered during any excavation operation.
The North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources (State Historic Preservation Office (HPO)) in a
letter dated November 20, 2012, indicated that no recorded archaeological sites are located within
the project study area. If the replace-in-place alternative is selected, SHPO anticipates that no
significant archaeological resources will be impacted and that no investigations will be needed.
However, if a new location is selected, HPO would like to receive a map of the new ali�nment in
order to evaluate potential effects on archaeolo�ical resources.1
This response also indicated that the Community Building (BN 0340), a structure of historical or
architectural importance, is located in the general project area. This building was placed on the State
Study List in 1980. HPO recommends that any structures over fifty (50) years of a�e within the area of
potential effect be evaluated by a qualified architectural historian, and that the findin�s of this
analvsis be reported to HPO.z
RESPONSE 1: An archaeological survey of a 500 by 200 foot area encompassing the three
build alternatives considered (Options B, D, and E) was conducted by TRC in
September 2013 (Archaeological5urvey for the Proposed Replacement of
Bridge No. 528 on Texas Road over Flat Creek, TRC, November 2013) and
submitted to HPO.
RESPONSE 2: As described above, a Historic Structures Report and National Register
Evaluation (TRC, November 2013) was completed and submitted to HPO.
T17

The North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety (Geospatial and Technology
Management (GTM) Office) in a letter dated December 7, 2012, indicated that the project will cross
the Special Flood Hazard Area and Floodway of Flat Creek into Swannanoa River, and a hvdraulic
analvsis is required for anv new, replacement, or modification to an existin� hvdraulic structure
within the re�ulatory floodwav of this area.1
This response further recommends that the project team coordinate with Mr. David Chang, NCDOT
Hydraulics, to determine whether the project falls within the NC Floodplain Mapping Program MOA.
Finally, the respondent noted that new or replacement structures that cause an increase in the Base
Flood Elevation (BFE) require approval of a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) prior to
construction, while those structures that do not cause an increase in the BFE would be reviewed
under the MOA.Z
RESPONSE 1: A preliminary hydraulic analysis was completed to determine approximate
bridge characteristics; however, length of the proposed bridge and the
recommended roadway elevation may be adjusted (increased or decreased)
to accommodate design floods as determined in the final hydraulic design.
RESPONSE 2: The proposed bridge replacement would not adversely affect the floodplain
and therefore, floodway modification is not required.
IX. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
A public meeting was held from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. on November 27, 2012 at the Walkup Building (300
Community Center Circle) in Montreat, North Carolina. A public notice/press release about the public
meeting was published in two local newspapers, including the Asheville Citizen Times (November 14,
18, and 25) and the Mountain Xpress (November 14 and 21). In addition to the press releases,
approximately 100 newsletters were mailed to property and business owners within the project
study area, as well as to local officials and area stakeholders. The Town of Montreat also distributed
meeting announcements and information to the Town's "Sunshine List" and via social media
channels, including Facebook, Twitter, and the Town's event calendar.
The public meeting offered an opportunity for the general public to learn about the project and its
objectives, review information on existing conditions and general locations for alternatives, and
provide input and feedback. The workshop was held in open house format with no formal
presentation or opening remarks. Materials included comment forms, informational handouts, study
area maps, boards displaying the build alternatives, and large map printouts for participants to mark
up. A total of 39 individuals attended the public meeting, including Town residents, local officials, and
Montreat Conference Center representatives. The project team collected 14 comment forms at the
meeting, while an additional 24 comments were received via email during the comment period
following the public meeting.
Commenters most frequently cited a preference for Option B or Option D. Reasons provided for
selecting Option B included minimization of property and environmental impacts, maintenance of
access and traffic flow, use of the existing right of way, preservation of recreational resources, and
perceived lower costs. Several respondents commented that although the existing design/alignment
is not ideal, it has not been a traffic hazard in the past due to slow speeds and low traffic volumes.
�

Those expressing opposition to Option B primarily cited safety and visibility concerns with the
existing alignment and intersection with Assembly Drive.
Among those selecting Option D as their preferred option, respondents indicated that this alternative
would protect recreational resources, provide safer travel for vehicles and pedestrians, have limited
property impacts, provide a four-way (rather than offset) intersection, and clear invasive vegetation.
Those not in favor of Option D primarily cited impacts to specific properties along Texas Road and
open space at the proposed replacement site.
Although Options B and D were the most frequently preferred alternatives, several respondents
expressed support for Option A(No Build). These respondents cited cost concerns and traffic impacts
and noted that residents have adapted to closure of the bridge. However, a greater number of
respondents expressed opposition to Option A—which would leave the bridge closed indefinitely—
due to safety and aesthetic concerns as well as the need to provide greater connectivity and
emergency vehicle access.
No respondents indicated a preference for Option C(New Location at Welch Field), and comments
about Option C most frequently addressed impacts to Welch Field as well as to specific residential
properties along Texas Road. Option E was also not widely supported; however, some indicated it
would be their second choice to Option D over Option B. Those who expressed opposition to
Option E noted its impacts to recreational resources—including the Patricia Cromwell Tennis Center
and a Town of Montreat playing field—and to specific residential properties on Texas Road.
/:�K�]►`[�111 Il.y [I]►`I
On the basis of the above discussion, it is concluded that no substantial adverse environmental
impacts will result from implementation of the Preferred Alternative (Option B). The project is
therefore considered to be a federal "Categorical Exclusion" due to its limited scope and lack of
substantial environmental consequences.

SUBJECT: Start of Study, Proposed Bridge Replacement on Texas Road (TIP # B-5196), Montreat,
Buncombe County, North Carolina
To Whom it May Concern,
The Town of Montreat, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), and the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA) propose to replace Bridge No. 528 on Texas Road over Flat Creek in
Montreat, North Carolina. The existing bridge is curzently closed to vehicular traffic due to safety
concerns related to its state of deterioration. Replacement of the bridge is needed to provide safer access
and mobility in the study area, to support pedestrian connectivity, and to improve access to community
facilities. A map of the project study area is included as an attachment to this letter.
The proposed project will consider a set of buiid and no-build scenarios to replace the bridge and provide
safe mobility and access. Alternatives other than replacing the strucwre in its existing location may be
considered in the planning process. The build altematives currently being considered include replacing
the bridge at the existing location and a new bridge location approximately 50 feet east of the existing
bridge on an improved alignment.
A Federally-funded Categorical Exclusion (CE) document is being prepared in coordination with FHWA.
This document is intended to satisfy the requirements of both the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) and the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
In an effort to expedite the environmental clearance process, we are asking your agency to provide any
information you might have that would be helpful in evaluating the potential environmental impacts of
the proposed bridge replacement project. If applicable, please also identify any permits or approvals that
may be required by your agency. We ask that you please respond in writing by November 26, 2012.
The Town invites your participation in an upcoming informational workshop tentatively scheduled for
November 27. Details for this workshop will be forthcoming.
We appreciate your time and cooperation on this project If you have any questions or need any
additional information conceming this project, please contact the project subconsultant, Planning
Communities, via email at tto�vnsend(a�plannin�commwiities com or by phone at [phone].

As requested by the North Carolina State Clearinghouse, the North Carolina Department of
Crime Controi and Public Safety Division of Emergency Management Office of Geospatial and
Technology Management (GTM) reviewed the proposed project listed above and offer the
following comments:
1) North Carolina Executive Order 123 directs NCDOT to coordinate with and follow the
FHWA fioodplain management requirements which are found in the Federal Executive
Order 11988. To ensure NCDOT compliance with EO 11988 and 44 CFR the NCDOT
Hydraulics Section and the NC Floodplain Mapping Program have a MOA. Please
coordinate with Mr. David Chang, NCDOT Hydraulics, to determine if this project is
eligibie to fall within the MOA.
2) The proposed project will cross the Special Flood Hazard Area and Floodway of Flat
Creek into Swannanoa River (Panel 0710). A hydraulic analysis is required for any
new, repiacement or modification to an existing hydraulic structure that is within the
regulatory floodway of this SFHA.
3) New or replacement structures that do not cause an increase in the Base Flood
Elevation (BFE) would be reviewed under the MOA. New or replacement structures
that cause an increase in the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) will require approval of a
Conditional Letter of Map Revision prior to construction.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have any questions concerning
the above comments, please contact Dan Brubaker, P.E., CFM, the NC NFIP Engineer at
[phone], by email at dan.brubakerCc�ncdps.qov or at the address shown on the

Thanlc you far youx letter of Oetober 26, 2012, concerning the above projecf.
There are no xecoxded axchaeological sites wiYhin the pioposed project area. If the replacement is to be located
along the existing alignment, it is unlikely that significant archaeological xesoumes would be affected and no
investigauons would be recommended. If, however, the replacemenC is to be in a new location, please forward
a map to This office indicaiing the location of Yhe new alignment so we may evaluate the potential effects of the
xeplacemenc upon axchazological xesoutces.
We have conducted a search of ouc maps and files and located the following st�uctuYes of historical ox
archieeaural impoxta�nce within the general arce of this pr.oject:
