Dear Ms. Beck�vith:
The North Carolina Deparhnent of Transport�tion (NCDOT) is proposing to ieplace tlie subject
bridge aud make slight chauges in the road Tligm»ent. The existing 28' L s 18' W timber aud
stcel bridge needs to be replaced due to deterioration and insufficient width. The proposed
replacement su�ucture will be a 2 r� 11' W x 6' H x 49' L reiuforced concrete bo� culvert
(IZCBC) on � 105 degree skew aud 4.00% slope. The culvert will be buried one foot below the
streambed and concrete sills avd baffles will be installed iu bolh barrels �t approximately 10 foot
intervels to maintain natural streambed material in the culvert Tud provide aqu�tie lile passage.
The project will be stage constructed in order to mTU�tain traffic for emergency access during
construction.
I am endosing a PCN application, Preliminaty Jurisdictional Form, DMS niitigation �cceptance
letter, SHPO forms, storui�vater manageuient plan, bridge to culvert avoidance and minimization
form, plan sheets sl�ow�ing the proposed ��vork, a marked coanry m�p, a USGS topograpliical map
and pliotogr�plis.
The North Carolina N�tural Heritage Database was diecked for records of endangered �ud
tln•eatened species. The database lists 16 species for Polk Couuty that are known fi•om ciirrent or
historical records aud hlve federal status. Pour species, Northern long-eared bat (�l�lyofis
seplenh•ionnlis), dwarf-flowered heartleaf (Ilesostylis �rrminorn), Sm�ll whorled pogonia
(Isolrin medeo/oicles) and white irisette (Sisyrinchiunr dicholomron), are listed as threatened and
endangered respectively.

B-4792 — Bridgc Na. 4 P�ge 2 September 29, 2015
There are h�vo significant populations of wl�ite irisette tliat occur ��vitliin a h��o mile rldius of the
project. Both populatious are approximately 1.5 miles to the e�st-southeast of the bridge project.
Accordiug to tlie U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), white irisette is found on
"mid-elevation slopes, cliaractetized by open, chy ro moderateanoisture oak-hickory forests.
White irisette usually grows in sl�allo�v soils ou regularly dislurbed sites (sucli as woodland edges
aud roadsides) aud over rocky, steep terrain." Soils also tend to be basic to neutrTl. Soils at tlie
project site have greater moisture aud acidity thau those cliaracteristic of wl�ite irisette hlbitat.
Additionally, the elevatiai is significantly lo�ver than known �vhite irisette sites. H�bitat lor the
�vhite irisette is lacking at the bridge site.
D�varf-flo�vered lieartleaf habitat is characterized by the USPWS as; "acidic soils along bluffs
and adjacent slopes, in boggy areas nest to streams and creek l�eads, and along the slopes of
uearby hillsides and ravines." Tl�e dwarf-flowered heartleaf Tppears to prefer sandy soils aud is
typicall}� fouud on Paeolet or Madison gravelly sandy loam or Musella fine s�ndy loam. The
oiily records for the dwarf-flowered heart leaf within Polk Couury Tre 19.2 miles away from the
project in the soulheast coruer of the county. There may be some margival liabit�t for the dwarf-
flowered heartleaf �loug the sh•eam terr�ce; ho�vever, none w��s observed.
Small whorled pogonia habitat is considered variable iu North Carolina. Typically, it occurs in
ope�i, dry, decidaous woods with acidic soiL However, it is also kno��ai to occur in a variety of
habitats iu North C�rolina, including on slopes along streams. Il is also laiown to occur in ricli,
mesic forest in association with white pine �iid rl�ododendrou. The area to be affected is not
cl�aracterislic of the open, dry deciduons forest or mesic forest with white piue and rhododendron
and uone was observed during tlic field scoping process.
Northern Long-eared bats winter in caves or mines with stable, but not freezing cold
temperatures. Tlie closest mine �vitli potential hibernaculum is 6.5 miles to the east In sunuuer,
they generally roost under the loose bark of trees, either dead «�ith peeling bark or cavitics, or
live trces w�ith shaggy b�rk such as white o�k, maples, sycamore and hickories. Tl�ere �re several
yello��v poplars, red maples, alder and a few other saplings th�t will ueed to be ciit for the project,
but tl�ey lack peeling or shagg}� bark. In addition, most of the h•ee cleariug will take place
do�vnstre�m oY tlie existing bridge, �a�l�ich has been cut by Duke �nergy for their power line right
of way. Regardless, these trees will be reiuoved from Ai���st l5 to April 15 (��vinter clearing)
when bats ��vill not be roostii�g in area U�ees. Also, wc conducted a survey of tlie bridge on
September 11, 2015 and did not see roostiug bats or any evidence of bat usage (i.e. staining or
guano) on the bridge strueture. Due to potential summer roosting habitat, we recommend T"may
affect, not likely to adversely �ffect" determinatiou for NL�B.
Tlic project is limited in scope to the replacement of � bi•idge with a cuh�ert Most of Ihe area
that is to be iuipactecl by the project has been affected Uy the road, bridge, ancl nearUy residences.
No listed species were observed during the field scopiug process. For tl�ese reasous and those
listed above, we recommend a"no effecY' determination for Dwarf-tlowered heartleaf, Small
whorled pogonia and N�hite irisette.

'1'l�is project was reviewed by NCDOT's Human Bnvironment Unit iu 2014-15. Surveys were
required for both �rchaeology aud l�istoric architecture with a detennination of "no effecP' (see
att�ched iorms).
NCDOT best management praetices will be used to minimize aud control erosion and
sedimentatioi� ou this project. The construction foreuian will review all erosiou eonlrol
measures daily to eusare erosion and sedimeutTtiou are being controlled eflectively. If tlie
devices are not fimetioning as intendecl, diey will be replaced immediatel}� with better devices.
lmpaets to Waters of the United States
Pork Creek (DWR Class: C, Tr) is a tributary of the North PTCOIet River and is sho��vn on the
USGS topographic map as a perennial sh�e�ui. The cl�annel is well definecl �vith a stibstrate of
boulders, cobble, gravel and sTUd/silt. Pork Creek is approsunately 20 feet in width and flo��s
approYimately 0.1 miles to the North Pacolet River. The North Pacolet River dien flows
ap�xo�imatel}� 49 miles witil it reaches a poiutjust east of I-26 where tl�e civer appears to liave
safficicnt flo��� to meet the definitioil of a Traditional Navigable W�ter. For ttiese reasons, we
believe Fork Creek is a Relalively Permauent Water and is under the jurisdiclion of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers. [n order to construct the project, it will be necess�ry to iiupact waters
of the United States in the Bi•oad River Basin (HUC 03050105). Specitically, NCDO"1' is
requesting to replace Bridge No. �4 �vith a RCBC. Listecl below is a suuuvlry of fhe proposed

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre-construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicanYs acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

This preliminary JD finds that there "maybe"waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

Brief descrrpiron of rerreiv nctirilie.s, restdls ojrenieiv, (U!!I COIJCIIIS(OLS:
The review included an examination of a topographic maq an aerial photograph, the Polk County soil
suivey, and the listings of previously recorded sites, previous archaeological swveys, and previous
enviramiental reviews at the Of£ice oY' State Archaeology (OSA). Also, a visual reconnaissance of the
project area was conducted on 1 I/24/2014.
The topographic map (Saluda, N.CJ sho�vs the bridge is located in a moderately-wide river valley. (The
bridge is oriented northeasUsouHnvest [20°] but will be considered north/south for this review.) The
bridge crosses Fork Geek a short distauce south of its coniluence with the North Pacolet River. The
landform in the north�vest, northeast, and southwest quadrants appears to be level floodplain along the
North Pacolet River. This landfonn has a moderate to high potential for prehistoric archaeological sites.
The landform in the southeast quadrant is either floodplain or the base of a steep slope. This landfonn has
a low to moderate potential for prehistoric archaeological sites.
The soil survey shows Ihe soils iu Ihe A.P.E. are Ostin loam sand and Tate-Greenlee complex soils. Ostin
loam sand ( I-3% slopes), occasionally floodecl, is a well-drained soil found on nanow floodplains. Tate-
Greenlee comple� soils (15-30% slopes
), extremely stony, is a mell-ch�ained soil found in stony coves and on liill slopes. Level landforms near
water with well-draiued soil have a �rioderate to high potential for archaeological sites.
The aerial photograph shows that the northwest and south�vest quadranis are wooded. There are
structures near the no�theast and southeast qiiadrants, and the landuse in both quadrants appears to be
residential yards.
A review of infonnation at the O.S.A. sho�vs no previously recorded archaeological sites �vithin or
adjacent to the A.P.E. The A.P.E, has not been previously surveyed for archaeological sites.
This bridge repl�cement project has been previously reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office
(IIPO) (ER 08-2665). On 1/12/2009 HPO recommended an archaeological smvey if the bridge is to be

replaced on new alignment.
Based on the initial review, a survey was recommended of the level, undisturbed, well-drained floodplain
areas i�i all four quadrants of the A.P.E. on I U20/2014. The visual reconvaissance of the project area was
conducted on I I/24/2014 by NCDOT archaeologists Caleb Smith and Damon Jones. It found that the
landforms within tlie A.P.E. have a low potential for archaeological sites.
The landform in [he southwest quadrTnt is a low floodplain from the bridge south and �vest (ihe road ttu'ns
to tl�e west after crossing the bridge) for approzimately 70 meters (230 ft.). Tliere is a large area of
standing water in this quadrant, perhaps it is a"back swamp° that holds flood water fiom the North
Pacolet River.
The landform in the southeast quadrant is a narrow strip of level land along the south baiik of the creek
from die bridge soi�th for 15 meteis (50 ft.), then a slope up to a flat ridge top. 'Phe flat ridge is located
behveen 25-60 mete�s (82-197 R.) soulh of the bridge, and then the land is a steep slope up to the south.
(The road curves b tl�e west and runs along the base of the slope.) There is a modern house located on
the flat ridge approsimately 40 meters (131 ft.) south of the bridge and 20 meters (66 ft.) east of the road.
(It is not shown on the 1983/1987 topographic map.) The �at riclge may have been graded to prepare the
site for tlie house. The soil appears to be very rocky, and there are large boulders and cobbles on the
surface. The land within the A.P.E. in this quadrant appears to be disturbed by the roadside ditcli,
roadside utilities, and the driveway to the house. There is a spring house located outside of the A.P.E. in
this quadrant. The spring house is located in the flat area next to the creek approximately I S meters (50
ft.) south of the bridge and 30 meters (100 ftJ east of the road. [t is built inro the base of the slope up to
the flat ridge. It is made of mortared stone and measures appro�imately l.S meters (6 ft.) �vide, 1.2
meters (4 ft.) deep, and LS mete�s (5 ft.) falL It l�as no roof. Visual e�amination of the surrounding area
found no other evidence of a structw�e. The spring house appears to be older than 50 years of age (based
solely on the construction material) but there is no way to tell for sure. There is some modern-Looking
plumbing connected to it, and it may supply water to the modern house located on the level ridge above
(south).
The landform in the northeast quadrant is a flat area from Ihe bridge noi4h for approzimately 10 meters
(33 ft.), then a flat terrace or ridge toe from LO-70 meters (33-230 ft.) north. The Elat area nest to the
creek is occupied by a drive�vay that leads to hvo houses. One house is a modern one located along the
north side of the creek appro�imately 45 meters (148 ft.) east of the bridge. The other house is an old one
(early I900s?) located approsimately 30 meters (100 ft.) north of the bridge and 40 meters (131 ft.) east
of the road. Tlie flat terrace or ridge toe is the front/side yard of tliis house. The landform may have
some potential for archaeological sites, but it has bcen disturbed by residential landscaping. [t is currently
used as a fenced-in dog yard. The resident said her father built the house in 1913. This area is labcled as
the "Melrose" couununily ou the 1983/1987 edition of the topographic map.
The A.P.E. in the noithwest quadrant is a poorly-drained and/or unstable landform bet�veen the road and
the Noi1h Pacolet River from the bridge no�4h for approximately 70 meters (230 ft.). There is a deep
drainage ditch located along the west side of the road.

The initial review of this project recommended an archaeological survey of the Ievel, undishu�bed, well-

A.P.E. have a Iow potential for archaeological sites. No further work is recommended.
