Subject: Nationwide 14 Pennit Application and Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer Authorization for the
replacement of Bridge No. 146 on SR 2363 (Beaie Road) over Rock Creek.
Alamance County, Nortl� Carolina, WBS Element No. 17BP9.R.63
Dear Mr. Bailey and Mr. Wanucl�a:
The NorYh Carolina DepartmenY of TransportaYion (NCDO� is proposiug to replace a fuuctionally obsolete
24' x 7.5' single span timber bridge with a new 28' x 4' bottomless culvert with top bevel and wingwalls.
An off-site detour will be used Yo convey traffic during construction. The project will also include some
minor approach work on tlte existing roadway.
Please find enclosed a PCN application, Stonnwater Management Plan, Culvert Survey Report, permit
drawings, buffer drawings, a USGS quad inap, SHPO Concun�ence Forms, and photographs.
The North Carolina Nafural Heritage Database was checked far records of tlu�eatened and endangered
species. The database lists no species for Alunance County that have federal status. The Bald eagle is
protected in every county in North Carolina under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. No suitable
feeding/water source is located within one mile of the project study area to support Bald eagle habitat. Mr.
Gary Jordan (USFWS) recently released the Programmatic Couference Opinion (PCO) for the recently
lisfed Northern Long-eared Bat (NLEB). This opinion states, in pait, that "... it is the Service's corvference
opinion that NCDOT acrivitles i�z eastern Nor�fh Cm�oli�w (Diviston 1-8), as proyased, are r�ot Irhely Co
jeopardize the continued existence of tlze NLLB. " �
This project was reviewed by NCDOT's Human Envuoiunent Unit ni 20t2 for potential affects to
historical architecture and archaeology. It was determined that no suivey was required for historical
architecture. A survey was conducted far archaeology on July 19, 2012, and it was determined there would
be no eligible archaeological resow•ces present within the project study area.
The project study uea is coinprised mostly of inaintained/residential land with Itardwood forest along flie
stream banks. There are no additional jurisdiclional features associated with Bridge 146 other than Rock
Creek There is a possible wetland area outside of the study area southwest of Bridge 146. The possible
wetluid is within a fenced u�ea outside of the project study area.
NCDOT best management practices (BMPs) will be used to minvnize and conhol sedimentation and
erosion. The construction foreman will review the BMPs daity to ensuxe exosion and sedimentation is
being effectively conh olled. If the foreman determines the devices are not functioning as intended, they
will be replaced iixunediately with better devices.

Impacts to Waters of the United States
Rock Creek (DWR Class: WS-V, NSW) is shown on the USGS topograpluc map as a pereimial stream.
The channel is well defined with a subsUate priinarily cotnposed of sand, silt, and gravel and is
approximately 7-9 feet in width. From the project site, Rocl< Creek flows northward 8.90-miles to its
confluence with Stinking Quarter Creek. Stinking Quarter Creel< then flows approximately 1.09-iniles to
ifs conflneuce with the Big Alamance Creelc Big Alainance Creek flows 4.4 miles to its confluence with
flie Haw River. The Haw River meets the definition of a Traditional Navigable Water. For these reasons,
we believe Rock Creek is a Relatively Permanent Water and is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army
Coips of Engineers. In order to consh�uct the project, it will be necessary to impact waters of the United
States in the Cape Feu• River Basin (HiTC 03030002). Specifically, NCDOT is requesting fo replace
Bridge No. 146 with a reinforced concrete bottomless culvert. The unpacts are listed in the table below:

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The proposed project is to remove and replace a structurally deficient bridge and replace it with a bottomless culvert.
Roadway approach work is minimized as much as is practical to reduce the overall project footprint. Impacts to the
associated protected riparian buffers have also been reduced by promoting sheet flow as well as providing grass shoulders to
promote infiltration. An off-site detour will be employed to avoid the need for a temporary parallel structure. Bank stabilization
will be minimized to those areas where deemed necessary.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Erosion and sedimentation BMPs will be installed prior to construction. Water will be diverted around the work area to prevent
sedimentation of downstream aquatic resources. Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management
Practices for the protection of surtace waters, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US
and coordination (including a pre-construction meeting) with the Division Environmental Supervisor.

4d. Buffer mitigation requested (DWQ only): square feet
4e. Riparian wetland mitigation requested: acres
4f. Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested: acres
4g. Coastal (tidal) wetland mitigation requested: acres
4h. Comments: NCDOT proposes to provide 1:1 mitigation for the impacts to the stream with the installation of the bottomless
culvert. NCDOT does not believe a 2:1 mifigation ratio is required as the thalweg of the channel will not be permanently
impacted with structures or fill. The stream banks will be reshaped and floodplain benches will be built with streambank
stabilization to prevent sour/erosion around the footers of the 3-sided culvert.
5. Complete if Using a Permittee Responsible Mitigation Plan
5a. If using a permittee responsible mitigation plan, provide a descriptio� of the proposed mitigation plan.

6a. Will the project result in an impact within a protected riparian buffer that requires
buffer mitigation? ❑ Yes � No
While there are impacts to the protected Jordan Riparian area, these impacts are
"allowable" per the Table of Uses {15A NCAC 02B.0267(9)}

1c. If you answered "yes" to the above, has the document review been finalized by the
State Clearing House? (If so, attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval
letter.) ❑ Yes ❑ No
Comments:
2. Violations (DWQ Requirement)
2a. Is the site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated
Wetiand Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), DWQ Surface Water or Wetland Standards, ❑ Yes � No
or Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)?
2b. Is this an after-the-fact permit application? ❑ Yes � No
2c. If you answered "yes" to one or both of the above questions, provide an explanation of the violation(s):
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWQ Requirement)
3a. Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in � Yes � No
additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?
3b. If you answered "yes" to the above, submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the
most recent DWQ policy. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
Per the NC DWQ April 10, 2004 Version 2.1 Cumulative Impacts policy, small scale public transportation projects — such
as widening projects, bridge replacements and intersection improvements — have a"Iow potential for cumulative impact
since little (if any) new impervious surtace is added and the projects are usually in already developed locales." This
proposed project is within a somewhat developed landscape (i.e. existing residential homes in the vicinity), this is not a
road on a new location (i.e. there is an existing road and bridge structure and thus, the area already contains impervious
surtaces) and the project drains to Rock Creek which is Class WS-V; Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) (i.e. not HWQ or
ORW or 303(d) listed waters). We anticipate the NC DWR will advise us if a qualitative or quantitative analysis is needed.
4. Sewage Disposai (DWQ Requirement)
4a. Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from
the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
It is not anticipated that this project will generate any wastewater as it is a roadway project.

governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation � yes � No
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
