Subject: Nationwide Permit # 14
Bridge 100686, SR 2407 Upper Grassy Branch Extension
State Project No. 17BP.13.R39
Buncombe County, NC
Dear Ms. Beckwith:
I have enclosed a set of plans, a PCN application for NWP #14, and a vicinity map relative to the
proposed bridge replacement project on SR 2407 Grassy Branch Extension, Buncombe County,
NC.
We propose to replace the existing 18 feet long timber bridge with a 20 feet 1 inch wide by 6 feet
6 inch high by 44 feet Iong aluminum box culvert with aluminum headwalls . Culvert installation
will result in permanent impact to 44 linear feet (LF) of Grassy Branch Bank; bank stabilization
will permanently impact an additional 50 LF. Temporary impacts to 56 LF of the creek are due
to a temporary detour during culvert construction. The stream is approximately 8 feet wide and 4
inches deep with a predominately sand, gravel, and rock substrate It is classified as Class C. Fish
are present.
Existing channel morphology will be maintained upstream and downstream of the bridge.
Riparian vegetation will be reestablished along disturbed areas associated with the project.
Stormwater will be diverted through grass-lined ditches or vegetated buffers prior to entering
streams.
This project may impact potentially suitable northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis)
(NLEB) summer roosting habitat via tree removaL Tree clearing (October 15-April 15), if
necessary, would be performed outside of the annual moratorium. The existing bridge is
constructed of creosote-treated timbers. The crown to bed measurement (distance from travel
surface to streambed) is 8 feet. Clearance between the bottom of the bridge and the stream
surface is approximately 5 feet. A survey of the bridge did not reveal any evidence of usage by
bats. According to our data no known hibernaculum is located within 5 miles. No effect on the
remaining county list of federally protected species (threatened or endangered) or designated
critical habitat will occur. The attached report from the NC Natural Heritage Program states there
are no known federally protected species within 1 mile of N�e project. Marella Buncick of US
Fish and Wildlife Service is copied on the application for review.

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 CWAjurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an o�cial 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 "may be" 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:

RE: Bridge 686 Buncombe; 17BP.13.R.39
Dear Yates Allen:
NCNHDE-866
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources from our database that have been compiled for the project referenced
above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there
are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed
areas within the proposed project boundary.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have
been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records
suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitabie
habitat exists and is included for reference. Please note that although there may be no documentation of
natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area
may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for site-specific surveys
where suitable habitat exists.
In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may
update our records. Tables of natural areas and conservationlmanaged area within a one-mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning,
project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory
decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written
notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications.
Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature
Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), or Federally-listed species are documented near the
project area.
Thank you for your inquiry. If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need
additional assistance, please contact Allison Schwarz Weakley at allison weakiey�ncdenr ggv or
919.707.8629.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

Project Description:
The project calls for (he replacemeni of Bridge Na. 686 on SR 2407 (Upper Grassv Branch Ex1.) over
Grassy Branch in Buncombe County. The arclanealogical Area ojPotenlia/ LJfecls (�IPE) for [he project
is defined ns n 400 foot (l21.92 rn) long corridor running 200 fee! (60.96 m) eas! and 200,feet (60.96 m)
wes! along SR 2407 jrom the cenler of Bridge No. 686. The corridor is nppraximntely 100 jee� (30.48 m)
wide ex[ending 50 feet (1 Sl4 n¢) on erther side of the road from iis present cender.
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Brie/ descriplion of review activities, restd�s of review, and concl��sions:
}3ridge No. 686 is just northeast of Asheville and west of Black Mountain in the central portion of
Bui�combe Couuty, North Carolina. The project area is plo[ted in the northwestern section of the Oteen
USGS 7.Y topographic quadrangle (Figure I).
A map review and site file searoh was conducted at the OfFice of State Archaeology (OSA) on October
30, 2012. No previously recorded archaeological sites have been idevti6ed within or adjacent to the APE,
and no sites are found withiu a mile radius of bridge. Iu addition, no existing National Register of
Historic Places (NRHP), State Study Listed (SL), Locally Designated (LD), DeCermined Eligible (DE), or
Surveyed Site (SS) properties are withi�� or adjacent to the arcliaeological APE. Topogi'aphic maps,
USDA soil survey maps, aerial photographs (NC One Map), liistoric maps (North Carolina maps
website), a��d Google Street View application were utilized to gage envirorunental Cactors that may have
contributed to prehistoric or historic settlement within the project limits and to assess the level of ground
disturbance.
Bridge No. 686 and SR 2407 cross Grassy Branch east to west Tlie stream drains south into the
Swauuanoa River. Tliese waterways are part of the French Broad drainage basin. Tlie APE is situated
along stream terraces on either side of Grassy Bra�ch (Figure 2). Hillside slope is also present at the
eastern end of tlie APE. The project area is mosfly open and cousists of reside�uial properties. Ground
dishubance appears moderate to severe from past road improvements, landscaping, a��d utilities. It also
seems that the terrace has been artificially raised and the stream chamielized in order ro help prevent
future flooding.
A review of the USDA soil survey map indicates tluee soil types are within the APE (Figure 3). Most of
tlie stream ten aces are composed of French loam (FrA). This series is somewhat poorly drained witli a
slope of less than 3 percent. It is also subject to occasional flooding with less tlian two days of standing
water per year. For tliis reason, it is likely fill has been used to raise the tenaces above flood level.
Prehistoric and early historic settlements are imlikely to be found on this soil due to persistent wetness
and flooding. The second soil type is the Udorthents-Urban laud complex (UhF,) found at the westeru end

12-10-0033
of tlle APE. Tliis is somewl�at excessively drained to moderately well drained toamy soils tliat have
experienced urban developme��k Slope can range anywhere fiom 2 to 50 percent, but is likely under 3
percent within Nie current project area. The final soil type is the CliftomOrban land complex (CuD).
This type occupies the eastern hillside slope. It is made up of well drained clay soils that have a slope of
15 ro 30 percent. Urbai� development also characterizes Hus soil type. Both the Udortheuts-Urban and
Clifton-Urban land complex soils are undesirable for cultural deposits. Tliis is mostly due to prior ground
disturbance cause by development activities. In addition, slope of I S percent or more on the Clifion-
Urban complex will i�ot typically yield signi6cant archaeological sites. As a result of this soil review,
intact cultural deposits are very unlikely to be encountered on any of the soil types within the APE.
A review of tlie site 61es show that very few archaeological investigations have been carried out in the
vicinity of the bridge. The nearest is to the west along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Due ro a lack of
investigations, no sites have been reported within a mile of the project. In 1991, OSA wnducted a review
of the property to the southeast of the bridge (ER 92-7216). They recommended no archaeological work
due to a fow probability for siguificant sites in a previously disturbed area. Based upon poor soils, slope,
and preseut development, this recommendation could apply to tlie otliec three quadrants surrounding the
bridge as well.
A historic map review was also conducted for the project area. Most early maps from Nie 18th and 19th
centuries provide onfy ge��eral details concerniug the region illustratingjust major roads and setflements.
It is not until the 20th century that more accurate and detailed maps are published. The 1902 Mt. Mi[chell
USGS topograpluc map is likely one of the Cu st in which the project area can be located (Figure 4). This
map shows a road similar to SR 2407 with a crossing over Grassy Branch. Although a stn�cture is plotted
sartheast of the crossing on this map, it appears to be outside of the APE. Subsequent early 20th century
maps such as the 1920 Buncombe County soil map fail to provide any new information other than the
remova( of thc southeast stn�chire (Figure 5). From this review, it seems very unlikely for significant
deposits associated with a former historic struchire ro be within the project area.
BriejExplanation of why the available infonnntion provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting
lhat there are na unidentified his(oric praperlies in Ihe fIPL
The defined archaeological AP� for the proposed replacement of Bridge No. 686 is located along stream
terraces next to Grassy Branch and along a hillside slope to the east. It is unlikely intact and sig�ificai�t
archaeolo�ical deposits will be present in this area. This is primarily due to tlie development of
residential properties across the APE aud slope of 15 perceut or more along the hillside. It also appears
tliat the stream terrace has been artificially raised and Hie stream channelized in order to alleviate potential
ftooding �ear homes. It is very likely disturbance from home constniction, landform improvements, prior
road improvements, and utility installation has previously impacted any potential cultural deposits
destroyiug the i��tegrity of any sites. Furthermore, OSA has p�eviously reviewed tl�e property to the
southeast and recommended no arcliaeological work. LasNy, tlie historic maps suggest no significant
archaeological deposits from former historic shvctures are within the project limits. As long as impacts
to tl�e subsurface occur withiu tl�e defined APE, no fiirther archaeological work is recommendeA for the
replacement of Bridge No. 686 in Bu��combe County. I£ constniction should affect subsurface areas
beyond tl�e defined APE, Curther archaeological consultation might be necessary.
