EASLEY GOVERNOR February 5, 2008 US Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Field Office 6508 Falls of Neuse Road, Suite 120 Raleigh, NC 27615-6814 ATTENTION: Eric Alsmeyer NCDOT Coordinator, Division 5 Dear Sir: LYNDO TIPPETT SECRETARY 080313 Subject: Application for Section 404 Nationwide Permits 23, 33, and 13, Section 401 Water Quality Certification, and Neuse Riparian Buffer Authorization for the replacement of Bridge No. 29 over Clarks Creek on SR 1007 (Poole Road), Wake County. Federal Aid Project Number BRSTP-1007(8), WBS No. 33637.1.1, State Project No. 8.2409201, Division 5, T.I.P No. B-4300. j lb -$Debit from WBS Element 33637.1.1. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge No. 29 over Clarks Creek. The project proposes to demolish the existing bridge and replace with a reinforced concrete box-culvert because the drainage area is less than five square miles. The project involves constructing the box culvert on the existing alignment, while maintaining traffic on-site by a temporary detour. Please see the enclosed copies of the permit drawings, buffer drawings, design plans, and Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) for the above-referenced project. The CE was completed for this project in January 2006 and the Construction Consultation was completed in October 2007; each was distributed shortly thereafter. Additional copies of these documents are available upon request. IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES The project is located in the Neuse River Basin (subbasin 03-04-02) and USGS hydrologic unit 03020201. Clarks Creek. and its unnamed tributary (intermittent stream), located in the project study --- - area, are. currently unclassified by the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ). However, the Neuse River downstream of the project area and nearby named tributaries to the Neuse River all have a DWQ best use classification of C-NSW. No designated Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), High Quality Waters (HQW), Water Supply I (WS-I), or Water Supply (WS-II), waters occur within 1.0 mile of the study corridor. No portion of Clarks Creek or its tributary, or other surface waters within 1.0 mile of the project are listed on the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's (NCDWQ) 2006 Final 303(d) List of Impaired Waters.

It is a forested wetland adjacent to Clarks Creek. It is considered riverine based upon its location within the Clarks Creek floodplain and is classified as a palustrine, seasonally flooded, forested wetland supporting broad-leaved deciduous vegetation (PFO1C, Cowardin classification). Streams and wetlands were verified during a site visit with the USACE on June 8, 2004. No jurisdictional determination letter was sent by the USACE. NCDOT does not request the USACE to evaluate this site using the Rapanos guidance. Instead, NCDOT is satisfied with the delineation as reviewed and approved in the field on June 8, 2004, and request that the USACE evaluate this permit application based on that field review. Permanent Impacts There will be 148 feet of surface water impacts to Clarks Creek (Site 1); 63 feet due to the box culvert installation and 85 feet of channel improvements and ri rapping along the stream banks or ank stabilization. Temporary Impacts There will be 70 feet (0.04 acre) of temporary impacts to Clarks Creek (Site 1) due to the permanent drainage easement access. Another 55 feet~0.03 acre) of surface water impacts to Clarks Creek (Site 1) wiIl occur resulting from the construction of a tempora culvert for the onsite detour. Also, 0.02 acres of temporary wetland impacts (Site 1) will occur in association witlithe onsite detour. --' Approximately 95 linear feet (<0.01 acre) of surface water impacts to the UT to Clarks Creek (Site 2) will occur due to its close vicinity with the construction of a rip-rap barrier along the roadway fill slope. The rip-rap barrier will help stabilize the roadway fill slope and prevent filling in of the channel of the UT to Clarks Creek. Utility Impacts No utility impacts are anticipated from project construction. Bridge Demolition The existing bridge was constructed in 1961 and is 61 feet in length. It consists of two spans 29.5 feet each. The superstructure consists of a reinforced concrete floor on timber joists. The deck is composed of prestressed concrete channels and metal railings. The substructure consists of prestressed concrete caps on timber piles. The existing bridge will be removed without dropping components into Clarks Creek. Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and Removal will be implemented during the demolition of this bridge. IMPACTS TO NEUSE RIPARIAN BUFFER This project is located within the Neuse River Basin and is therefore subject to Neuse River riparian buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The construction of the culvert and new road alignment will impact buffers along Clarks Creek. These buffer impacts are classified as impacts resulting from a road crossing and are allowable with mitigation because over 1501inear feet (approximately 195 feet) of stream buffers are being impacted (Table 1). Impacts to the buffers of the UT to Clarks Creek are categorized as road impacts other than crossings of streams. These impacts are allowable with mitigation (Table 1). Temporary buffer impacts classified as allowable will occur along the onsite detour. There will be Final B-4300 Permit Application Page 2 of 6 11,376 square feet of mitigable buffer impacts for Zone 1 and 3,933 square feet of mitigable buffer impacts for Zone 2. Table 1. Neuse River Buffer Impacts Road Crossing (Culvert) Impacts Other Than Road Crossin Onsite Detour (Tem ora ) Zone 1 Im act (s . ft) 10,254 1,122 2,955 Zone 2 Irri act (s . ft 3,933 0 1,956 Mitigation requirements (exempt, allowable, or allowable with miti ation) Allowable with miti ation Allowable with miti ation Allowable Practical Alternatives Analysis This bridge has been determined to be structurally deficient and functionally obsolete. The replacement of this inadequate structure will result in safer and more efficient traffic operations. Because this bridge needs to be replaced, impacts to the riparian buffers of Clarks Creek and the UT to Clarks Creek are unavoidable. Utility Impacts to R~arian B~fers No utility impacts are anticipated from project construction. RESTORATION PLAN Following construction of the culvert, all material used in the construction of the structure will be removed. The impact area associated with the culvert is expected to recover naturally, since the natural streambed and plant material will not be removed. NCDOT does not propose any additional planting in this area. Class II riprap and filter fabric will be used for bank stabilization. Pre-project elevations will be restored. Following construction of the culvert, all material used in the construction of the structure will be removed. Class II riprap and filter fabric will be used for bank stabilization. Pre-project elevations will be restored. REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL PLAN The contractor will be required to submit a reclamation plan for the removal of and disposal of all material off-site at an upland location. The contractor will use excavation equipment for removal of any earthen material. Heavy-duty trucks, dozers, cranes and various other pieces of mechanical equipment necessary for construction of roadways, bridges, and culverts will be used on site. All material placed in the stream will be removed from the stream at that time. The contractor will have the option of reusing any of the materials that the engineer deems suitable in the construction of project. After the erosion control devices are no longer needed, all temporary materials will become the property of the contractor. FEDERALLY PROTECTED SPECIES Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed Endangered, and Proposed Threatened are protected under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of December 20, 2007 the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists three federally protected species for Wake County (Table 2). One species (bald eagle) was officially delisted on August 8, 2007 (CFR 50 Part 17). The biological conclusion for bald eagle in the CE was "No Effect" with no Final B-4300 Pernut Application Page 3 of 6 habitat available in the project area. The bald eagle still remains protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. A review of the Natural Heritage Program database in December 2007 revealed no occurrences of these species within 1.0 mile of the project study area. Table 2.

Avoidance measures were taken during the planning and NEPA compliance stages; minimization measures were incorporated as part of the project design. According to the Clean Water Act (CWA) §404(b)(1) guidelines, NCDOT must avoid, minimize, and mitigate, in sequential order, impacts to waters of the US. The following is a list of the project's jurisdictional stream, wetland, and Neuse Buffer avoidance/minimization activities proposed or completed by NCDOT: Avoidance/Minimization (~ An anadromous fish moratorium from February 15 to June 15 will be adhered to during project construction. O The roadway fill slope has been steepened to a minimum of 2 to 1 ratio and lined with rip-rap to avoid permanent impact to the UT to Clarks Creek. • est Management Practices for Protection of Surface Waters will be implemented. The culvert will be buried one foot below the streambed in order to maintain aquatic habitat and flow regime. Compensator~iti~ation The Jeffreys Warehouse Mitigation Site was originally constructed as on-site mitigation for R-1030, US 117 from south of NC 581 in Goldsboro to the US 264 Bypass in Wilson. There are two parcels associated with this mitigation site. The west parcel (approximately 50.2 acres) is bounded on the northwest by the Little River and on the southeast by the US 117 right-of--way. The east parcel (approximately 37.5 acres) is bounded on the northwest by the US 117 right-of--way, on the northeast by a Wayne County Board of Education school bus maintenance shop, and on the east and southeast by private property. The site was constructed in 2007 and has undergone one year of hydrologic and vegetative monitoring. Final B-4300 Permit Application Page 4 of 6 The site was originally debited for R-1030AA. To offset the unavoidable 15,309 sq. ft. (11,376 sq. ft. for Zone 1 and 3,933 sq. $. for Zone 2) of buffer impacts associated with T.I.P B-4300, the Jeffreys Warehouse Mitigation Site will be debited 40,028 sq. ft. (0.92 acres) of Neuse Buffer Restoration. No compensatory mitigation for permanent stream impacts is proposed. Streambanks along Clarks Creek are currently unstable in the project area. Approximately 85 feet of the 148 feet of total permanent impacts are for bank stabilization and do not constitute loss of waters of the U.S. The remaining minimal impact of 63 feet (culvert) is in a degraded section of stream directly under the existing bridge. SCHEDULE The project calls for a letting of August 19, 2008 (review date of July I, 2008) with a date of availability of September 30, 2008. It is expected that the contractor will choose to start construction in October 2008. REGULATORY APPROVALS Section 404 Permit: The project has been processed by the Federal Highway Administration as a "Categorical Exclusion" in accordance with 23 CFR 771.115(b). The NCDOT requests that these activities be authorized by a Nationwide Permit 23 (72 FR 11092; March 19, 2007). We are also requesting the issuance of a Nationwide Permit 33 for the work associated with the onsite detour and other temporary impacts. Section 401 Certification: We anticipate 401 General Certification numbers 3701 and 3688 will apply to this project.

January 2006 Categorical Exclusion Green Sheet Wake County Bridge No. 29 on SR 1007 (Poole Road) Over Clarks Creek Federal-Aid Project No. BRSTP-1007(8) State Project No. 8.2409201 WBS No. 33637.1.1 T.I.P. No. B-4300 Introduction: The replacement of Bridge No. 29 is included in the 2006-2012 I~Torth Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Transportation Improvement Program (T.I.P.) and in the Federal-Aid Bridge Replacement Program. The location is shown in Figure 1. No substantial environmental impacts are anticipated. The project is classified as a Federal "Categorical Exclusion." I. Purpose and Need Statement Bridge Maintenance Unit records indicate that Bridge No. 29 has a sufficiency rating of 7.0 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The bridge is considered functionally obsolete and structurally deficient. The replacement of this inadequate structure will result in safer, more efficient traffic operations. II. Existing Conditions Bridge No. 29 is located on SR 1007 (Poole Road) in Wake County, North Carolina. SR 1007 is classified as a Rural Major Collector by the statewide functional classification system. In the Capital Area MPO 2030 Long Lange Transportation Plan Update (SeptemUer 2004 TAC adoption) SR 1007 was identified as a priority project to be widened to a four-lane facility. The CapitalArea Greenway Master Plan (Figure 6) shows a proposed greenway corridor along Clarks Creek up to Bridge No. 29. Land use in the project area includes a mixture of wooded areas and residential. The project site is in the immediate area of the proposed Eastern Wake Expressway (I-540) corridor. The 2006 estimated average daily traffic (ADT) volume is 14,900 vehicles per day (vpd). The projected 2030 ADT is 30,200 vpd in the design year. The percentages of truck traffic are 3 percent dual tired vehicles (DUAL) and 1 percent truck-tractor semi trailer (ITST). The posted speed limit on SR 1007 is 55 miles per hour (mph) east of the bridge and 45 mph west of the bridge. Bridge No. 29 was built in 1961. It is a two-lane facility with a clear roadway width of 29.3 feet. The bridge has two spans and totals 61 feet in length. The deck is composed of prestressed concrete channels and metal railings. The substructure consists of prestressed concrete caps on timber piles. The height from crown to stream bed is 10 feet. Bridge No. 29 is posted at 20 tons for single vehicle and 25 tons for TTST. SR 1007 is approximately 20-foot in width with 5-foot grass shoulders on both sides. The bridge is located in a sag vertical curve. T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 1 Overhead telephone utility lines are located along the north side of the bridge. Overhead power lines are located along the south side of SR 1007. Utility impacts are anticipated to be low. There are approximately 46 school bus crossings on Bridge No. 29 each day. Fourteen accidents were reported in the project area during the period from September 2001 to August 2004. There were ten property damage only crashes and four non-fatal injury crashes. SR 1007 at Bridge No. 29 is part of a designated bicycling route in accordance with the City of Raleigh's Bi~~cle and Pedestrian Playa (TACAdopted March 79, 2003) (Figure 7). This route is designated in the Ciry ~X1ide Transportation Network as a Long Term Corridor. Long Term Corridor routes require major improvements over a period of five to thirty years. III. Alternatives A. Project Description Based on preliminary hydraulic analysis the existing bridge will be replaced on the existing alignment with a double barrel 10-foot by 8-foot reinforced concrete box culvert, approximately 60 feet in length, buried to a depth of one foot. The length and opening size of the proposed culvert may increase or decrease as necessary to accommodate peak flows as determined by a more detailed hydraulic analysis to be performed during the design phase of the project. The approach roadway will provide two 12-foot travel lanes with 8-foot shoulders, including four- foot paved shoulders (Figure 3A). The A design speed of 60 mph will be provided. During construction, traffic will be maintained on-site by a temporary detour. Three 78-inch pipes approximately 60 feet in length will be utilized for the detour. The detour roadway will provide two 12-foot travel lanes with 8-foot shoulders including two foot paved (Figure 3B), and a design speed of 50 mph. B. Build Alternatives Two build alternatives were studied for this project. They are described below. Alternative A (preferred) replaces the bridge at the existing location. During construction, traffic will be maintained by an on-site detour north of the existing bridge. Alternative B replaces the bridge at the existing location. During construction, traffic will be maintained by an on-site detour south of the existing bridge. This alternative is not recommended because the on-site detour would impact approximately 450 linear feet of an unnamed tributary south of SR 1007. C. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Study Replacing the bridge on a new alignment ~>as not considered because additional horizontal curves are not desirable in the existing tangent section of roadway. T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 2 Replacing the existing bridge with a neu- bridge u~as evaluated. Based on preliminary hydraulic analysis the proposed bridge would be approximately 75 feet in length. The minimum clear roadway width would be 40 feet and would provide two 12-foot travel lanes ~~ith eight-foot lateral clearance. Replacing the bridge with a culvert is preferred because it is more economical. An alternative u>ith an off-site detour route along SR 1007, SR 2516, SR 2515, and SR 2601 was evaluated. The detour length is approximately 3.6 miles and has a road user cost of approximately X23,400 per day. Tlvs alternative was eliminated because of the high traffic volumes that would be detoured and the high road user cost associated with the off-site detour. The "do-nothing" alternative will eventually necessitate closure of the bridge. This is not desirable because of the traffic sei-~rice provided by SR 1007 and Bridge No. 29. Investigation of the existing structure by the NCDOT's Bridge h'Iaintenance Unit indicates that "rehabilitation" of this bridge is not feasible because of its age and deteriorated condition. D. Preferred Alternative Alternative A, replacing the bridge at the existing location using an on-site detour north of the existing bridge during construction, is the preferred alternative. Alternative A was selected because it minimizes stream and wetland impacts and is more economical . The Division Engineer concurs with Alternative A as the preferred alternative. E. Design Exception No design exceptions are anticipated. T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 3 IV. Estimated Cost Table 1 shows estimated costs based on current prices. Table 1.

V. Natural Resources A. Methodology Field investigations along the study area were conducted by qualified biologists in January 2004. Field survey s were undertaken to determine natural resource conditions and to document natural communities, wildlife, Waters of the U.S., and the presence of protected species or their habitats. Published information about the study area and region, water resources, and protected species was derived from a number of resources including: • National Wetlands Inventory (I~TWI) maps • USGS 7.5-minute topographical quadrangle maps (Knightdale and Raleigh East, North Carolina) • Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) soil survey maps of Wake County • North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Guidance for Rating the Values of Wetlands in North Carolina; Neuse River Basinwide Water Quality Plan; NC Water Quality Assessment and Impaired Waters List (2004 Integrated 305(b) and 303(d) Report; NCDWQ's Fish Community Database; Neuse River Buffer Rules T.I.P.

Plant community descriptions are based on those classified in Schafale and ~Xleakley (1990), where applicable. I~Tames and descriptions of plant species generally follow Radford et al. (1968), unless more current information is available. Animal names and descriptions follow Rohde et al. (1994), USFWS (2003), Martof et al.(1980), Parmalee and Bogan (1998), Webster et al.(1985), Russo (2000), and Stokes and Stokes (1996). Scientific nomenclature and common names (when applicable) are provided for each plant and animal listed. Subsequent references to the same organism include the common name onl}'. During field surveys, wildlife identification involved a variety of observation techniques, which included active searching and capture, visual observations (both with and without the use of binoculars), and obser~-ing the characteristic signs of wildlife (sounds, scat, tracks, and burrows). Any organisms that may have been captured during these searches were identified and released without injury. Quantitative aquatic sampling was not undertaken. Jurisdictional wetland delineations were performed using the three-parameter approach as prescribed in the Corps of Engineers lYletlands Delineation 1l7anual. Supplementary technical literature describing the parameters of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and hydrological indicators were also utilized. Wetland functions were evaluated according to the NCDWQ's rating system, fourth version. Surface waters in the study area were evaluated based on the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet and the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form. B. Physiography and Soils The project lies in Wake County, which is situated in the east-central portion of North Carolina and is primarily located in the lower Piedmont ecoregion. The geography of the county consists predominantly of rolling to gently sloping terrain. Floodplains occur in nearly level bands along most of the streams in the area and larger streams have wide terracing floodplains. Wake County is densely populated, with a large portion of the county in commercial or residential development. Elevations in the study area range from approximately 224 feet above mean sea level (msl) at Clarks Creek north of Bridge No. 29 to approximately 240 feet above msl at the western end of the study area south of Poole Road. The study area lies within the Raleigh Belt geological region. This section of the Raleigh Belt is comprised of foliated to massive granitic rock. It commonly contains Rolesvile suite, Wise, and Lemon Springs intrusives. The soils in the study area developed from the felsic crystalline system that is part of the Piedmont soil region. The local soil mapping units in the study area include the following series: Appling, Wedowee, and Wehadkee. Appling soil is the most abundant series mapped in the study area. T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 5 Appling sandy loam soils are well drained with a moderate permeabilit<- and are strongly acidic. Cobblestones and gravel are common within the top 36 inches of the soil solum. This association is found in the uplands and is dissected by many streams that form a dendritic drainage pattern. Well-drained, deep Appling soils occupy about 70 percent of the association, while the rest of the association is made up of Durham, Wedov~ee, Vance, Louisburg, Colfax, Worsham, Mantachie, Congaree, Chewacla, Wehadkee, and Bibb series. Wedowee unit consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils formed iri Piedmont uplands. They occur on narrow ridges and side slopes of uplands, with slopes ranging from 0 to 60 percent though dominantly between 6 and 25 percent. Depth to rock is more than 60 inches. Wedowee soils were formerly mapped as thin solum phases of the Appling series. ^ Wehadkee silt loam consists of nearly level, poorly drained soils with moderate to moderately-rapid permeability. These soils occur throughout the county on floodplains and streams. Wehadkee soils are considered hydric within Wake CountS~. Hydric soils are defined as soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions that favor the growth and regeneration of hydrophytic vegetation. Soils referred to as "Hydric A" are generally completely hydric throughout the mapped soil unit. "Hydric B" soils are non-hydric soils that contain inclusions of hydric soils, usually in depressional areas or along the border with other soil units. Based on the Wake County soil survey, one Hydric A soil map unit occurs in the study area: Wehadkee silt loam. C. Water Resources 1. Waters Impacted The project is located within the Neuse River Basin. The project study area is located within Neuse River subbasin 03-04-02 and USGS hydrologic unit 03020201. 2. Water Resource Characteristics Clarks Creek, an unnamed tributary (UT) to Clarks Creek, and three areas of riparian wetlands make up the Waters of the United States in the study area. The drainage area at Bridge No. 29 is 2.2 square miles. Clarks Creek is a perennial stream that converges with the Neuse River approximately two miles downstream of the project site. The Clarks Creek UT is not shown on the USGS quad map but is shown on the USGS Wake County soils map. The stream was determined to be intermittent through NCDWQ's stream classification form. It has been channelized for approximately 300 feet upstream of the project site. This portion of the stream is very entrenched, with up to 8-foot tall banks approaching its confluence with Clarks Creek. Clarks Creek UT received a score of 48 on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet, and a 22.5 on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (Appendix). T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 6 Clarks Creek is clear and moderate-flowing, with asand-silt-clay substrate. The creek received a score of 77 out of 100 on the USACE Stream Qualit}' Assessment Worksheet (Appendix). A classification system for stream channels based on fluvial geomorphologic principles and landscape position was used for stream analysis. Based on this classification method and field observations during the site ~-isit, Clarks Creek appears to be a Type C5 channel that is slightly entrenched but stable. Clarks Creek UT is highly eroded and appears to be a Type G channel. Characteristics of both streams are presented in Table 2. Table 2. Stream Dimensions Stream Feature Clarks Creek Clarks Creek UT Bankfull width 30 feet 3 feet Channel width 25 feet 1 to 2 feet Water depth 6 inches to 2 feet 1 to 6 inches Bank height 15 feet 1 to 5 feet The I~TCDWQ classifies surface waters of the state based on their intended best uses. Clarks Creek is currently unclassified; however Mango Creek (upstream of the project and east of Neuse River) and Poplar Creek (downstream of the project and east of the Neuse River) are both classified as "C NSW." Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) are waters needing additional protections because they are subject to excessive microscopic and macroscopic vegetation growth. Class "C" waters are protected in accordance v~ith their usage for aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture. Neither high quality waters (HQ~X~, outstanding resource waters (OR~x~, trout waters (Tr), 303(d) waters, nor water supply watershed waters (WS-I, ~X1S-II, WS-III, or WS-I~ occur within one mile of the study area. A review of map data available for anadromous fish spawning areas indicates the project site is located within protected waters for the American shad (Alo.ca .rapidi.rcima). NCDOT will follow all stream crossing guidelines for anadromous fish passage, and an in-water work moratorium from February 15 to June 15 to protect the American shad. The Ambient Monitoring System (AMS) is a network of stream, lake, and estuarine water-quality monitoring stations strategically located for the collection of physical and chemical water-quality data. AMS monitoring site A-15 is located on the Neuse River, approximately 1,500 feet downstream of where Clarks Creek enters the river. The nearest benthic macroinvertebrate sampling site to the study area is located at the mouth of Walnut Creek (B-10), approximately two miles upstream of the mouth of Clarks Creek on the Neuse River. This site was last sampled in 2000, and given a bioclassification rating of "good-fair." The North Carolina Index of Biotic Integrity (NCIBI) is used to assess the biological integrity of streams by examining the structure and health of the fish community. As of Apri12000, Clarks Creek had not been given a I\TCIBI rating. Point source dischargers throughout North Carolina are regulated through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. Dischargers are required by law to register for a T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 7 permit. There are 52 permitted dischargers in this subbasin of the 1~Teuse River. TvTo mobile home parks located on Clarks Creek hold minor NPDES discharge permits. 3. Anticipated Impacts to Water Resources a. General Impacts Short-term impacts to water quality from construction-related activities include loss of aesthetic values, increased sedimentation, and turbidity. Loner term construction related impacts to water resources include substrate destabilization, bank erosion, increased turbidity, altered flow rates, and possible temperature fluctuations within the channel due to removal of streamside vegetation. Precautions will be taken to minimize impacts to water resources from runoff and erosion in the study area. b. Impacts Related to Bridge Demolition and Removal Bridge No. 29 has steel bridge rails, which can be removed without dropping them into Waters of the U.S. There is potential for components of the concrete deck and concrete caps to be dropped into Waters of the U.S. during demolition. The resulting temporary- fill associated with the concrete deck and concrete pile caps is approximately 48 cubic yards. D. Biotic Resources Plant Communities Three plant communities were observed in the project study area: mixed pine-hardwood forest, bottomland hardwood forest, and man-dominated community. Descriptions are provided below. a. Mixed Pine-Hardwood Forest Mixed pine-hardwood forest community is present in the upland area of the site and is typically characterized by a variety of hardwood species in the canopy, a moderate understory, and a sparse herbaceous layer. This forested community is best classified as a variation of Schafale and Weakley's Dry Mesic Oak-Hickory Forest. The Dry Mesic Oak-Hickory Forest community is dominated by a mixture of oak ~Ouercus spp.) and hickory (Car~~a spp.) species. In the study area, dominant canopy species are loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), sa~eetgum (Liquidambar st~~raciflua), tulip poplar (I~~~zodendron tulipifera), red maple, northern red oak ~O. rzrbra), southern red oak (O. falcata) and white oak (Q. alba). Understory species include dogwood (Co~rrus florida), hickory saplings, American holly (Ilex opaca), black cherry (P~z~nus serotina), beech saplings (Fagusgrandifolia), and sourwood (Oxydendrum a~horeum). The shrub and vine layer includes blackberry (KuGus argutus), greenbriar (Smilax rotundifolia), poison ivy (To~~zcodendron radians), and Japanese honeysuckle (L,onicera japonica). Dominant herbaceous species include Christmas fern (Po~~sticbum acrosticoides), crane fly orchid (Tipularia discolor, and wild ginger (Asarum canadense). b. Bottomland Hardwood Forest The bottomland forest community is situated along the banks and adjacent floodplain of Clarks Creek and the UT to Clarks Creek. This forested community is best classified as a variation of a T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 8 Piedmont/Mountain Bottomland Forest (Schafale and Weakley). It is characterized by plant species, which are tolerant of occasional flooding and often contains a dense understory and herbaceous layer. Dominant species obser~=ed in the mature canopy were red maple and s~ueetgum. The understory tree, shrub, and vine layer includes sweetgum and red maple saplings, southern arrowwood (Vivu~7zarm dentatuTrz), Chinese privet (Ligustr~unr sinense), multiflora rose (Kola naultiflora), greenbriar, Japanese honey suckle, crossvine (Bignonia capreolata), and poison ivy (Toa~zcodendron radians). The herbaceous community includes Japanese stilt grass (Microstegium vimineum), giant cane (Arundinariagigarztea), and various grasses (family Poaceae). c. Man-Dominated Community The man-dominated community represents areas that are periodically maintained by human influences, such as roadside and power line rights-of--way, regularly mowed lawns, fields, and open areas. Man-dominated areas comprise a majority of the study area including roadside maintained areas, and residential lawns. The man-dominated roadside areas are primarily covered with herbaceous vegetation that includes various t<Pes of grasses and common weedy species such as plantain (Plantago spp.), dog fennel (Eupatorium capill foliuna), chickweed (Cerastium spp.), and Indian strawberry (Duchesnea iradica). Various grasses and ornamental shrubs are the dominant vegetation in the residential and commercial lawns, including Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), and planted loblolly pine and red maple. 2. Wildlife The project area was visually surveyed for signs of terrestrial and aquatic wildlife. The mixed pine- hardwood forest and man-dominated community offer a moderate diversity of foraging, nesting, and cover habitat for many species of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Species that may be associated with these ta=pes of communities are described below. An asterisk (*) indicates the species that were directly observed or that evidence u=as noted during field reconnaissance. Reptile species associated with the study area are likely to include the Eastern box turtle (Terrapene Carolina), five-lined skink (Eumeces fasciatus), rough green snake (Opheod~s aestivus), Eastern milk snake (Lampropeltis trzangulum triangulum), black racer (Coluber const~zctoJ), and brown snake (Storeria dekayz). These reptiles inhabit fields, woodlands, streams, wood piles, and old buildings of the Piedmont and lower mountains in North Carolina. Many bird species may inhabit or migrate through the study area. Common inhabitants include red- bellied woodpecker (Melane~~e.r carolinus), hairy woodpecker (Picoides villosus), downy woodpecker (P. puUescens), blue jay (Cyanocitta crzstata), Carolina chickadee (Faros carolinensis), tufted titmouse (Baeoloj~hus bicolor), white-breasted nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis), American robin (Turdus migratorius), Northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), Northern mockingbird (Mimus po~glottos), house finch (Carpodacus mea~zcanus), Carolina wren (Thryotborzrs ludovicianus), dark-eyed junco (junco lyemalis), American goldfinch (Carduelis trzstis), American crow* (CorUUS brachyrhynchos), and brown-headed cowbird (Molothrus titer). Predatory species may include red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), Eastern screech owl (Otus asio), and barred owl (Stria varia). A common wetland species likely to frequent the area is the great blue heron (Ardea I~erodias). A wide variety of mammals are expected to inhabit the study area and surrounding landscape. Virginia opossum (Didedphis virginiana), woodchuck (Marmota monax), gray squirrel* (Sciurzrs T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 9 carolinensis), Eastern harvest mouse (IZeithrodontomys bumulis), beaver (Castor canadensis), muskrat (Ondatra .~zbethicus), raccoon* (Proc~~on loto~), and white-tailed deer* (Odocoileus zztainianus) are species most likely to be found. In addition, bats such as the Eastern red (Lasiunu borealis), little brown bat (lt7yotis lucif~gur), and big brown bat (Eptesicus fi~scus) may also be present in the project study area. 3. Aquatic Communities The aquatic habitat of Clarks Creek is expected to be fair based on observed conditions during the field visits. A beaver dam is located under Bridge No. 29 on the upstream side. Clarks Creek has a stream bed of sand, silt, and small pebbles beneficial to macrobenthic invertebrates. The study area likely exhibits an amphibian population of frogs and toads. Spring peepers (Hyla c~zrcifer), pickerel frogs (kana palust~is), and green frogs (K. clamitans) are most likely to be present in the study area. No frog or toad species were obser~-ed during the field investigations. Reptiles that spend the vast majority of their lives in aquatic communities and are somewhat common throughout this portion of North Carolina include the snapping turtle (Chelydra ser~entina), eastern musk turtle (Steritotberus odoratus), yellowbelly slider (Chsysen~~s scripta), and northern water snake (1~Terodia sipedon). Fish that are likely to utilize Clarks Creek include yellow bullhead (Ameiurus natalis), largemouth bass (ll7icropterus salmoides), American eel (Anguilla roshata), rosyside dace (Clinostomus funduloides), American shad, and creek chub (Semotilus atromaculatus). These fish thrive in slow moving, soft substrate waters like those present within the project area. The overhanging vegetation provides good locale for foraging on vegetation and benthic organisms, and hiding from predators. 4. Anticipated Impacts to Biotic Communities a. Terrestrial Communities Potential impacts to plant communities are based on the approximate area of each plant community within the proposed right of way and temporary construction easements. Table 3 depicts impacts to terrestrial biotic communities for the two alternatives. Table 3. Anticipated Impacts for Alternatives Vegetative Community Alternative A Alternative B Pcrmane~t Tem~~rary Permanent Temporary... Bottomland Forest 0.52 acres 0.35 acres 0.52 acres 0.80 acres Mined Pine and Hardwood Forest 0.20 acres 0.41 acres 0.20 acres <0.01 acres Urban/Disturbed Land 1.01 acres 0.92 acres 1.Olacres 0.75 acres T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 10 b. Aquatic Communities Aquatic organisms are very sensitive to the discharges and inputs resulting from construction activities. Appropriate measures uTill be taken to avoid spillage and control runoff. Such measures will include an erosion and sedimentation control plan, provisions for waste materials and storage, stormwater management measures, and appropriate road maintenance measures. NCDOT's Bect Management Practicer for Protection of S~~rsface 1Vate~:c (BMPs - PSW) and Sedimentation Control guidelines will be strictly enforced during the construction stages of the project. Long-term impacts to water resources may include permanent changes to the stream banks and temperature increases caused by the removal of stream-side vegetation. The removal of stream-side vegetation and placement of fill material during construction contributes to erosion and possible sedimentation. Quick revegetation of these areas reduces impacts by supporting the underlying soils. Erosion and sedimentation may carry soils, toxic compounds, trash, and other materials into the aquatic communities at the construction site. As a result, sand bars may be formed both at the site and downstream. Impacts usually associated with in-stream construction include increased channelization and scouring of the streambed. In-stream construction alters the substrate and impacts adjacent stream- side vegetation. Such disturbances within the substrate lead to increased siltation, which can clog the gills and feeding mechanisms of benthic organisms, fish, and amphibian species. E. Special Topics 1. "Waters of the United States:" Jurisdictional Issues Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) requires regulation of discharges into "Waters of the United States." The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is the principal administrative agency of the Clean Water Act; however, the USACE has the responsibility for implementation, permitting, and enforcement of the provisions of the Act. The USACE regulatory program is defined in 33 CFR 320-330. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act grants authority to individual states for regulation of discharges into "Waters of the United States." Under North Carolina General Statutes, 113A "Pollution Control and Environment" and codified in NCAC 15A, the NCDWQ has the responsibility for implementation, permitting, and enforcement of the provisions of the CWA. Clarks Creek is identified as a perennial stream and the unnamed tributary to Clarks Creek is an intermittent stream. Perennial and intermittent streams are jurisdictional under Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act. Wetlands, defined in 33 CFR 328.3, are those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetland delineations for the project study area were conducted in January 2004. A general description of the wetlands located within the project study area is presented below. Wetland data forms and NCDWQ ratings are presented in the Appendix. All areas are classified as palustrine, forested, broad-leaved deciduous, temporarily flooded (I'FO1A) wetlands. T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 11 Wetland A is situated between the unnamed tributary of Clarks Creek and a steep slope. The vegetation consists primarily of red maple, sweetgum, Japanese honeysuckle, and giant cane. It received a rating of 43 out of a possible 100 on the NCDWQ ~X~etland Rating Form. Wetland B is located upstream of ~~Jetland A, contiguous to the unnamed tributar}% of Clarks Creek. The vegetation consists primarily of red maple, tulip poplar, sweetgum, Chinese privet, giant cane, Virginia chainfern (i~ood~a~a~dia vi~binica), Japanese honeysuckle, and muscadine grape (Viti.r rotutzdifolia). This wetland received a rating of 43 out of a possible 100 on the NCDWQ Wetland Rating Form. Wetland C is located in the northeast quadrant of the project corridor, adjacent to Clarks Creek. The vegetation consists primarily of red maple, sweetgum, and Chinese privet. Wetland C received a rating of 77 out of a possible 100 on the NCDWQ Wetland Rating Form. Impacts to wetlands will take place depending on the final design of the bridge replacement. Table 4 depicts the estimated impacts to Waters of the United States for the proposed alternatives. Stream impacts to the UT of Clarks Creek resulting from widening the approach roadway to the proposed culvert are permanent and will likely require mitigation. Wetland impacts resulting from the detour will likely be considered temporary due to the soil being mineral, not organic. Mechanized clearing is generally considered a temporary impact. Table 4.

Permits Section 404 of the Clean Water Act - In accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), a permit is required from the USACE for projects of this type for the discharge of dredged or fill material into "Waters of the United States." The USACE issues two types of permits for these activities. A general permit may be issued on a nationwide or regional basis for a category or categories of activities when: those activities are substantially similar in nature and cause only minimal individual or cumulative environmental impacts, or when the general permit would result in avoiding unnecessary duplication or regulatory control exercised by another Federal, state or local agency provided that the environmental consequences of the action are individually and cumulatively minimal. If a general permit is not appropriate for a particular activity, then an T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 12 individual permit must be utilized. India=idual permits are authorized on a case-by-case evaluation of a specific project involving the proposed discharges. It is anticipated that this project will fall under Nationwide Permit 23, which is a tt=pe of general permit. I~Tationwide Permit 23 is relevant to approved Categorical Exclusions. Tllis permit authorizes an}= actin=ides, work and discharges undertaken, assisted, authorized, regulated, funded or financed, in whole or in part, by another federal agency. Also, the actin-ity is "categorically excluded" from environmental documentation because it is included within a category of actions which neither individually nor cumulatively have a slbmiificant effect on the environment. Activities authorized under nationwide permits must satisfy all terms and conditions of the particular permit. However, final permit decisions are left to the discretionary authority of the USACE. Section 401 General Water Quality Certification (WQC) - A Section 401 General Water Quality Certification is necessary for projects that require Section 404 permits. The state has General Certifications wlvch will match the permit t5=pe authorized by the USACE. The NCDWQ must issue the 401 Certification before the USACE will issue the 404 Permit. Compensatory mitigation may be required when more than 150 linear feet of stream and/or more than one acre of wetland impacts occur. ~~ilritten concurrence from the NCD~x1Q is not required. Bridge Demolition and Removal -Bridge No. 29 has steel bridge rails, which can be removed without dropping them into Waters of the U.S. There is potential for components of the concrete deck and substructure to be dropped into Waters of the U.S. during demolition. The resulting temporary fill associated with the concrete deck and concrete pile caps is approximately 48 cubic yards. 3. Buffer Rules The Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rule applies to 50-foot u=ide riparian buffers directly adjacent to perennial and intermittent surface waters in the Neuse River Basin. This rule does not apply to portions of the riparian buffer where a use is existing and ongoing. The Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy for the Protection and Maintenance of Riparian Buffers (15 A NCAC 2B .0233) provides a designation for uses that cause impacts to riparian buffers within the Neuse Basin. The buffer is divided into two areas. Zone 1 includes the first 30 feet out from the water and essentially must remain undisturbed. Zone 2 consists of the landward 20 feet which must be vegetated, but allows for certain land uses. Grading and replanting in Zone 2 is allowed provided that the health of the vegetation in Zone 1 is not compromised. Simple perpendicular bridge crossings are designated Allowable within the riparian buffer. The Allowable designation means that the intended uses may proceed within the riparian buffer provided that there are no practical alternatives, and that written authorization from the Division of Water Quality is obtained prior to project development. Allowable with Mitigation buffer impacts for bridge replacement projects are addressed when parallel impacts to jurisdictional water occur. Allowable with Mitigation buffer impacts require written authorization from NCDWQ prior to project development. Table 5 depicts estimated impacts to the riparian buffer for Clark Creek and Table 6 for the UT. T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 13 Table 5.

Mitigation Mitigation of wetland impacts has been defined by the Council on Environmental Quality to include avoidance, minimization, and compensation. These activities must be considered in sequential order. Avoidance examines all appropriate and practicable possibilities of averting impacts to Waters of the U.S. It is not feasible for this roadway to completely avoid Waters of the U.S. because it traverses Clarks Creek and because of the need for a temporary on-site detour during construction. The on-site detour is necessary because of the amount of traffic on SR 1007. Minimization includes the examination of appropriate and practicable steps to reduce adverse impacts to Waters of the U.S. Wetlands can be bridged to minimize temporary impacts, however, this is not highly advocated due to the low quality of Wetland C. Compensatory mitigation includes restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation of wetland and stream functions and values that are lost when these systems are converted to other uses. The USACE usually requires compensatory mitigation for activities authorized under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act when unavoidable impacts total more than 0.10 acre of wetlands or 150 linear feet of perennial or intermittent streams. The NCDWQ may require compensatory mitigation for activities authorized under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act for unavoidable impacts to more than 1.0 acre of wetlands or more than 150 linear feet of perennial or intermittent streams. T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 14 Compensatory wetland mitigation will not be required for either alternative since jurisdictional wetlands since wetland impacts are less than 0.01 acre. The wetland impacted by Alternative A's detour will be restored by removing the temporary fill material and replanting. Compensatot-~~ stream nutigation will likely be required since there are impacts to Clarks Creek UT caused by the widening SR 1007 in the project area. F. Rare and Protected Species Federal law (under the provisions of Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended) requires that any federal action likely to adversely affect a species classified as federally protected be subject to review by the USFWS. Other species may receive additional protection under separate laws. The latest USFWS species list dated February 25, 2003 was review January 2006 for Wake Count~~ species. It listed one Federally Threatened (T), and three Federally Endangered (E) species. 1. Federally Protected Species A field survey was conducted in January 2004 to determine if suitable habitat is available at the project site for the federally protected species listed in Table 7. Species descriptions and biological conclusions are provided on the next page. Table 7. Threatened & Endangered Species Listed for Wake County, North Carolina Common Name Scientific Name Federal Listing Biological::. Conclusion Threatened (Proposed No Effect Bald eagle Haliaeetus leucoce~ihalus for delisting) Red-cockaded Picoides borealis Endangered No Effect woodpecker Dwarf wedge mussel Alasmidonta heterodon Endangered No Effect Michaux's sumac Khus michauxii Endangered No Effect Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) Federal Status: Threatened (Proposed for delisting) State Status: Threatened Date Listed: March 11, 1967 The bald eagle is a large raptor that ranges in size from 32 to 43 inches tall and has a wingspan averaging 6 feet. These predators weigh an average of 10 to 12 pounds. Adult body plumage is dark brown to chocolate brown with a white head and tail, while juveniles are brown and irregularly marked with white until their fourth year. They are primarily associated with large bodies of water where food is plentiful. Suitable nesting sites are typically found within 0.5 mile of the water. Nests are made in the largest living tree within the area, with an open view of surrounding land and a clear flight path to water. Nests can be as large as 6 feet across. and are made of sticks and vegetation. T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 15 These platform nests map be used by the same breeding pair for many years. Breeding begins in December or January and the young remain in the nest at least ten weeks after hatching. Bald eagles eat mostly fish robbed from ospreys or picked up dead along shorelines or other carrion. They may also capture small animals such as rabbits, some birds, and wounded ducks. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Bald eagles are year-round but transient species in I~TOrth Carolina. Suitable habitat for the bald eagle is not present in the study area. Clarks Creek is too small to support and sustain a family of bald eagles. Based upon this, the project will have NO EFFECT on the bald eagle. Red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) Federal Status: Endangered State Status: Endangered Date Listed: October 13, 1970 This bird is a small, seven to eight-inch tall woodpecker with a black and white barred back and conspicuous large white cheek surrounded by a black cap, nape, and throat. Males have a very small red mark at the upper edge of the white cheek and just behind the eye. The red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) is found in open pine forests in the southeastern United States. The RCW uses open old growth stands of southern pines, particularly longleaf pine (Pinus palust~zs), for foraging and nesting habitat. A forested stand optimally should contain at least 50 percent pine and lack a thick understory. The RCW is unique among woodpeckers because it nests exclusively in living pine trees. These birds excavate nests in pines greater than 60 years old that are contiguous with open, pine dominated foraging habitat. The foraging range of the RCW may extend 500 acres and must be contiguous with suitable nesting sites. Living pines infected with red-heart disease (Fo~~zes pipsz) are often selected for cavity excavation. Cavities are located from 12 to 100 feet above ground level and below live branches. These trees can be identified by "candles," a large encrustation of running sap that surrounds the tree. Colonies consist of one to many of these candle trees. The RCW lays its eggs in April, May, and June; the eggs hatch approximately 10 to 12 days later. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Suitable habitat for RCW does not exist v=ithin the study area. The quantity of pine within the study area is not suitable for sustaining the RCW for nesting or foraging. Based upon this, the project will have NO EFFECT on the RCW. Dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) Federal Status: Endangered State Status: Endangered Date Listed: March 14, 1990 The dwarf wedge mussel is small, rarely exceeding 1.5 inches in length. The shell's outer surface (periostracum) is usually olive brown or yellowish brown in color, with light green rays that are more T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 16 noticeable in juveniles. The nacre (inner shell surface) is bluish to silvery white. The shell shape is subtrapezoidal. A unique characteristic of this mussel is its dentition pattern; the right vah>e possesses two lateral teeth, while the left valve has only one. This trait is opposite of all other North American species having lateral teeth. Three potential fish host species for the glochidia of the dwarf--wedge mussel are the tessellated darter (Etheostonza olnzrtedz), Johnny darter (EtLeo.ctozzza nigz~~zzz), and mottled sculpin (Cottzr.r baizdz). The dwarf wedge mussel inhabits creek and river areas with a slow to moderate current and a sandy, gravelly, or muddy bottom. In North Carolina, this mussel is documented in the Neuse and Tar River systems. The dwarf wedge mussel population declines are attributed to industrial, domestic, and agricultural pollution. Loss of habitat due to siltation of streams and chemical pollution, especially in the highly developed Wake County sites, threaten the survival of this mussel. Biological Conclusion: No Effect A sunTey for the dwarf wedge mussel was conducted on May 28, 2004 by qualified biologists. No dwarf wedge mussels were found and it was concluded that the species does not occur in the project footprint. The absence of the dwarf wedge mussel was reportedly due to the combination of Asian clam presence and the urbanized nature of the stream. Based upon this, the project will have NO EFFECT on the dwarf wedge mussel. Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxrr) Federal Status: Endangered State Status: Endangered -Special Concern Date Listed: September 28, 1989 Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy shrub, with erect stems from 1 to 3 feet in height. The compound leaves contain evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate leaflets. Most plants are unisexual; however, more recent observations have revealed plants with both male and female flowers on one plant. The flowers are small, borne in a terminal, erect, dense cluster, and colored greenish yellow to white. Flowering usually occurs from June to July; while the fruit, a red drupe, is produced through the months of August to October. Only 36 extant populations are known, with 31 in North Carolina, three in Virginia, and two populations in Georgia. l~Iichaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils. It spreads by producing cloning shoots from the roots of mature plants. Apparently, this plant survives best in areas where some form of periodic disturbance provides open areas. At least 12 of the plant's populations in North Carolina are on highway rights-of--way, roadsides, or on the edges of artificially maintained clearings. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac is not present in the project area. Disturbed areas that may have provided habitat at one time are maintained as residential and commercial lawns. Based upon this, the project will have NO EFFECT on Michaux's sumac. T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 17 2. Federal Species of Concern The February 25, 2003 USFWS list also includes a category of species designated as "Federal Species of Concern" (FSC). Federal Species of Concern (FSC) are not legally protected under the Endangered Species Act and are not subject to any of its prop=isions, including Section 7, until they are formally proposed or listed as Threatened or Endangered. Species designated as FSC are defined as taxa, which may or may not be listed in the future. These species were formerly Candidate 2 (C2) species or species under consideration for listing for which there is insufficient information to support listing. FSCs, their state status, and the existence of suitable habitat within the study area are shown in Table 8. Some of these species are listed as Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern by the NCNHP list of rare plant and animal species and are afforded state protection under the State Endangered Species Act of 1987 and the North Carolina Plant Protection and Conservation Act of 1979.

The review of the NCNHP maps determined that two Endangered species occur within atwo-mile radius of the project site. The dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) is located approximately 1.3 miles west of the project site in the Neuse River. Michaux's sumac (Khus michau.~zz) is located 1.5 miles west of the project site, adjacent to a mobile home park along SR 2551. T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 18 VI. Cultural Resources A. Compliance Guidelines This project is subject to compliance ~~ith Section 106 of the National Historic Presei~ration Act of 1966, as amended, and implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance Section 106, codified at 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 listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, and to afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation a reasonable opportunity to comment on such undertakings. B. Historic Architecture A field survey of the Area of Potential Effects (APE) was conducted on July 28, 2003. All structures within the APE were photographed, and later reviewed by NCDOT architectural historians and staff at the State Historic Preservation Office (HPO). In a concurrence form dated October 14, 2003, NCDOT, HPO, and FHWA concurred that there are no historic architectural resources either listed in or eligible for listing in the I\Tational Register of Historic Places within the APE. A copy of the concurrence form is included in the Appendix. C. Archaeology The SHPO, in a memorandum dated March 4, 2004 recommended that "no archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project." A copy of the SHPO memorandum is included in the Appendix. VII. Environmental Effects The project is expected to have an overall positive impact. Replacement of the structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridge will result in safer traffic operations. The project is a Federal "Categorical Exclusion" due to its limited scope and lack of substantial environmental consequences. The bridge replacement will not have an adverse effect on the quality of the human or natural environment with the use of current NCDOT standards and specifications. The project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulation. No substantial change in land use is expected to result from construction of the project. No adverse impact on families or communities is anticipated. Right-of--way acquisition will be limited. No relocations of residents or businesses are expected with implementation of the proposed alternative. T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 19 This project is in compliance with Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority- Populations and Lo~v Income Populations) since there are no relocations. No adverse effect on public facilities or services is anticipated. The project is not expected to adversely affect social, economic, or religious opportunities in the area. There are no publicly owned recreational facilities, or wildlife and waterfowl refuges of national, state, or local s b~nificance in the vicinity of the project. The Farmland Protection Policy Act requires all federal agencies or their representatives to consider the potential impacts to prime and important farmland soils by all land acquisition and construction projects. Prime and important farmland soils are defined by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS). Since the proposed bridge will be replaced at the existing location the Farmland Protection Policy does not apply. The project is located in Wake County, which is within the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill nonattainment area for ozone (03) and the Raleigh Durham nonattainment area for carbon monoxide (CO) as defined by the EPA. The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) designated these areas as moderate nonattainment areas for CO. However, due to improved monitoring data, these areas were redesignated as maintenance for CO on September 18, 1995. The area was designated nonattalnment for 03 under the new eight-hour ozone standard effective June 15, 2004. Section 176 (c) of the CAAA requires that transportation plans, programs, and projects conform to the intent of the state air quality implementation plan (SIP). The current SIP does not contain any transportation control measures for ~X1ake County. The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (iVIPO), 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), and the 2006-2012 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) has been determined to conform to the intent of the SIP. The USDOT made a conformity determination of the LRTP on 6/15/2005 and the MTIP on 6/15/2005. The current conformity determination is consistent with the final conformity rule found in 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93. There have been no significant changes in the project's design concept or scope, as used in the conformity analyses. The traffic volumes will not increase or decrease because of this project. There are no receptors located in the immediate project area. The project's impact on noise and air quality will not be substantial. Noise levels could increase during construction but will be temporary. This evaluation completes the assessment requirements for highway traffic noise (23 CFR Part 772) and for air quality (1990 CAAA and NEPA) and no additional reports are required. An examination of records at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, Groundwater Section and the North Carolina Division of Solid Waste Management revealed no hazardous waste sites in the project area. Based upon a field reconnaissance survey, no impacts to underground storage tanks (USTs) are anticipated. If any unregulated USTs or any potential source of contamination is discovered during right-of--way initial contacts with impacted property owners, then an assessment will be conducted to determine the extent of any contamination at that time. T.I.P. No. B-4300 Page 20 The drainage area of Clarks Creek at the proposed crossing is 2.2 square miles. Wake CountS~ is currentl}T participating in the I~lational Flood Insurance Program. This crossing of Clarks Creek is located in Zone AE, a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Zone. A Flood Insurance Rate Map is provided in Figure 5. It is not anticipated that a floodway modification will be required. The proposed replacement structure will be similar in waterway opening size, and it is not anticipated that this project will hay>e any substantial impact on the existing floodplain or floodwa}-. On the basis of the above discussion, it is concluded that no substantial adverse environmental effects will result from implementation of the project. VIII. Public Involvement Efforts were undertaken early in the planning process to contact local officials to involve them in the project development with scoping letters. Scoping letters were also sent to various agencies. A newsletter (Appendix) was mailed in February 2005 to area residents and appropriate officials. No responses were received from the newsletter.

For bridge replacement projects, the Service recommends the following general conservation measures to avoid or minimize environmental impacts to fish and wildlife resources: 1. Wetland, forest and designated riparian buffer impacts should be avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practical; 2. If unavoidable wetland impacts are proposed, every effort should be made to identify compensatory mitigation sites in advance. Project planning should include a detailed compensatory mitigation plan for offsetting unavoidable wetland impacts. Opportunities to protect mitigation areas in perpetuity via conservation easements, land trusts or by other means should be explored at the outset; 3. Off-site detours should be used rather than construction of temporary, on-site bridges. For projects requiring an on-site detouu in wetlands or open water, such detours should be aligned along the side of the existing structure which has the least and/or least quality of fish and wildlife habitat. At the completion of construction, the detour area should be entirely removed and the impacted areas be planted with appropriate vegetation, including trees if necessary; 4. Wherever appropriate, construction in sensitive areas should occur outside fish spawning and migratory bird nesting seasons. In waterways that may serve as travel corridors for fish, in-water work should be avoided during moratorium periods associated with migration, spawning and sensitive pre-adult life stages. The general moratorium period for anadromous fish is February 15 -June 30; 5. New bridges should be long enough to allow for sufficient wildlife passage along stream corridors; 6. Best Management Practices (BMP) for Protection of Surface Waters should be implemented; -- 7. Bridge designs should include provisions for roadbed and deck drainage to flow through a vegetated buffer prior to reaching the affected stream. This buffer should be large enough to alleviate any potential effects from run-off of storm water and pollutants; 8. The bridge designs should not alter the natural stream and stream-bank morphology or impede fish passage. To the extent possible, piers and bents should be placed outside the bank-full width of the streani; 9. Bridges and approaches should be designed to avoid any fill that will result in damming or constriction of the channel or flood plain. If spanning the flood plain is not feasible, culverts should be installed in the flood plain portion of the approach to restore some of the hydrological functions of the flood plain and reduce high velocities of flood waters within the affected area. A list of federally protected species for each county in North Carolina can be found at httn://nc- es.fws.~ov/es/coon r.html . Additional information about the habitats in which each species is often found can also be found at http://endangered.fws.gov . Please note, the use of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if suitable habitat occurs near the project site. If suitable habitat exists in the project area, we recommend that biological surveys for the listed species be conducted and submitted to us for review. All survey documentation must include survey methodologies and results. We reserve the right to review any federal permits that may be required for these projects, at the public notice stage. Therefore, it is important that resource agency coordination occur early in the planning process in order to resolve any conflicts that may arise and minimize delays in project implementation. In addition to the above guidance, we reconunend that the environmental documentation for these projects include the following in sufficient detail to facilitate a thorough review of the action: A clearly defined and detailed purpose and need for the proposed project; 2. A description of the proposed action with an analysis of all alternatives being considered, including the "no action" alternative; A description of the fish and wildlife resources, and their habitats, within the project impact area that maybe directly or indirectly affected; 4. The extent and acreage of waters of the U.S., including wetlands, that are to be impacted by filling, dredging, clearing, ditching, or draining. Acres of wetland impact should be differentiated by habitat type based on the wetland classification scheme of the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI). Wetland boundaries should be determined by using the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and verified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; 5. The anticipated environmental impacts, both temporary and permanent, that would be likely to occur as a direct result of the proposed project. The assessment should also include the extent to which the proposed project would result in secondary impacts to natural resources, and how this and similar projects contribute to cumulative adverse effects; 6. Design features and construction techniques which would be employed to avoid or minimize the fragmentation or direct loss of wildlife habitat and waters of the US; 7. If unavoidable wetland impacts are proposed, project planning should include a detailed compensatory mitigation plan for offsetting the unavoidable impacts. The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on these projects. Please continue to advise us during the.progression of the planning process, including your official determination of the impacts of this project.

Our Program does have records of rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas at the site or within a mile of the project area, for the projects listed below: B-4216, Orange County, Bridge No. 66 aver Strouds Creek on SR 1002 (St. Marys Road). This site lies just upstream of the Eno River, where there are numerous rare aquatic animal species. Species recorded at the confluence of Strouds Creek and the river (at Lawrence Road) are -- yellow lampmussel (Lampsilis cariosa), State Endangered and Federal Species of Concern eastern lampmussel (Lampsilis radiata radiata), State Threatened notched rainbow (Villosa constricta), State Special Concern Neuse River waterdog (Necturus lewisi), State Special Concern One 1601 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601 NorthCarolina Phone: 919-733-49841 FAX: 919-715-30601 Internet: vrww.enr.state.nc.uslENR/ ~atut+a'llt~ . _ ~_.._~ ..___~.....,.. ~ ~ ra....,~;,.e h,.~;,,,, c..,,,;„~or . 5n °~ Rervcfed 1'0'o Post Consumer Paper U Natural Resources B-4303, Wake County, Bridge No. 102 over Lower Bartons Creek on SR 1844 (Mt.

Just downstream of the bridge is the following - Carolina ladle crayfish (Cambarus davidi), State Significantly Rare B-4304, Wake County, Bridge No. 143 over Beaver Dam Creek on SR 2217 (Old Milburnie Road). There is a vague, historic record of the following, just downstream - veined skullcap (Scutellaria nervosa), State Significantly Rare B-4592, Orange County, Bridge No. 64 over the Eno River on SR 1561 (Lawrence Road). See comments for project B-4216. This site is a few miles above Eno River State Park. Also, a tract just upstream of the bridge has been recently acquired, or is in the process of being acquired. In addition, the section of the Eno River from Hillsborough to the confluence with the Neuse River is a Nationally significant aquatic habitat, for many additional rare species than those listed above. Our program recommends that NC DOT enact strong sedimentation controls to ensure that populations of these rare species, and particularly the water quality of the Eno River, not be impacted during the bridge replacements. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas. You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at <«tivw ncsparks net/nl~/search.html> for a listing of rare plants and animals and significant natural communities in the county and on the topographic quad map.

'<;/• --•- Habitat Conservation Program DATE: February 27, 2004 SUBJECT: NCDOT Bridge Replacements in Alamance, Chatham, Durham, Orange, and Wake counties. TIP Nos. B-4002, B-4063, B-4109, B-4216, B-4300, B-4301, B- 4302, B-4303, B-4304, and B-4592. Biologists with the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the information provided and have the following preliminary comments on the subject project. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). Our standard recommendations for bridge replacement projects of this scope are as follows: 1. We generally prefer spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require work within the stream and do not require stream channel realignment. The horizontal and vertical clearances provided by bridges allows for human and wildlife passage beneath the structure, does not block fish passage, and does not block navigation by canoeists and boaters. 2. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the stream. 3. Live concrete should not be allowed to contact the water in or entering into the stream. 4. If possible, bridge supports (bents) should not be placed in the stream.

If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, they should be removed back to original ground elevations immediately upon the completion of the project. Disturbed areas should be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and native tree species should be planted with a spacing of not more than 10'x10'. If possible, when using temporary structures the area should be cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact, allows the area to revegetate naturally and minimizes disturbed soil. 6. A clear bank (riprap free) area of at least 10 feet should remain on each side of the steam underneath the bridge. 7. In trout waters, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission reviews all U.S. Army Corps of Engineers nationwide and general `404' permits. We have the option of requesting additional measures to protect trout and trout habitat and we can recommend that the project require an individual `404' permit. 8. In streams that contain threatened or endangered species, NCDOT biologist Mr. Hal Bain should be notified. Special measures to protect these sensitive species may be required. NCDOT should also contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for infornzation on requirements of the Endangered Species Act as it relates to the project. 9. I.n streams that are used by anadromous fish, the NCDOT official policy entitled "Stream Crossing Guidelines for Anadromous Fish Passage (May 12, 1997)" should be followed. 10. In areas with significant fisheries for sunfish, seasonal exclusions may also be recommended. 11. Sedimentation and erosion control measures sufficient to protect aquatic resources must be implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities. Structures should be maintained regularly, especially following rainfall events. 12. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control. 13. All work in or adjacent to stream waters should be conducted in a dry work area. Sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, or other diversion structures should be used where possible to prevent excavation in flowing water. 14. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in stream channels in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into streams. 15. Only clean, sediment-free rock should be used as temporary fill (causeways), and should be removed without excessive disturbance of the natural stream bottom when construction is completed. 16. During subsurface investigations, equipment should be inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. If corrugated metal pipe arches, reinforced concrete pipes, or concrete box culverts are used: Bridge Memo February 27, 2004 1. The culvert must be designed to allow for aquatic life and fish passage. Generally, the culvert or pipe invert should be buried at least 1 foot below the natural streambed (measured from the natural thalweg depth). If multiple barrels are required, barrels other than the base flow barrel(s) should be placed on or near stream bankfull or floodplain bench elevation (similar to Lyonsfield design). These should be reconnected to floodplain benches as appropriate. This maybe accomplished by utilizing sins on the upstream and downstream ends to restrict or divert flow to the base flow barrel(s). Silled barrels should be filled with sediment so as not to cause noxious or mosquito breeding conditions. Sufficient water depth should be provided in the base flow barrel(s) during low flows to accommodate fish movement. If culverts are longer than 40-50 linear feet, alternating or notched baffles should be installed in a manner that mimics existing stream pattern. This should enhance aquatic life passage: 11 by depositing sediments in the barrel, 2) by maintaining channel depth and flow regimes, and 3) by providing resting places for fish and other aquatic organisms. In essence, base flow barrel(s) should provide a continuum of water depth and channel width without substantial modifications of velocity. 2. If multiple pipes or cells are used, at least one pipe or box should be designed to remain dry during norn7al flows to allow for wildlife passage. 3. Culverts or pipes should be situated along the existing channel alignment whenever possible to avoid channel realignment. Widening the stream channel must be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage. 4. Riprap should not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be professionally designed, sized, and installed. In most cases, we prefer the replacement of the existing structure at the same location with road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour should be designed and located to avoid wetland impacts, minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing stream banks. If the structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure should be removed and the approach fills removed from the 100-year floodplain. Approach fills should be removed down to the natural ground elevation. The area should be stabilized with grass and planted with native tree species. If the area reclaimed was previously wetlands, NCDOT should restore the area to wetlands. If successful, the site may be utilized as mitigation for the subject project or other projects in the watershed. Project specific comments: 1.

B-4216, Orange County, Bridge No. 66 over Strouds Creek on SR 1002. We recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge. Due to the close proximity of the Eno River we request conducting a survey for the following state endangered and federal species of concern mussels: Yellow lampmussel and Atlantic pigtoe. Also, a significant fishery for sunfish exists at this site, therefore we request an in-water work moratorium for sunfish from April 1 to June 30. Standard recommendations apply. 5. B-4300, Wake County, Bridge No. 29 over Clarks Creek on SR 1007. We recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge. NCDOT should follow all stream crossing guidelines for anadromous fish passage, including an in-water work moratorium from February 15 to June 15. Standard reconunendations apply. 6. B-4301, Wake County, Bridge No. 229 over Poplar Creek on SR 1007. We recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge.

We request conducting a survey for the following state endangered and federal species of concern mussels: Yellow lampmussel and Atlantic pigtoe. Also, a significant fishery for sunfish exists at this site, therefore we request an in-water work moratorium far sunfish from April 1 to June 30. Standard recommendations apply. NCDOT should routinely mininuze adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources in the vicinity of bridge replacements. Restoring previously disturbed floodplain benches should narrow and deepen streams previously widened and shallowed during initial bridge installation. NCDOT should install and maintain sedimentation control measures throughout the life of the project and prevent wet concrete from contacting water in or entering into these streams. Replacement of bridges with spanning structures of some type, as opposed to pipe or box culverts, is recommended in most cases. Spanning structures allow wildlife passage along streambanks and reduce habitat fragmentation.

If corrugated metal pipe arches, rernforced concrete pipes, or concrete box culverts are used to replace the bridge, then DWQ recommends the use of Nationwide Permit No. 14 rather than Nationwide Permit 23. 2. Bridge demolition should be performed rising Best Management Practices developed by NCDOT. 3. DWQ prefers spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require work within the stream and do not require stream channel realignment. The horizontal and vertical clearances provided by bridges allows for human and wildlife passage beneath the structure, does not block fish passage, and does not block navigation b~ canoeists and boaters. 4. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the stream; stormwater should be directed across the bridge and pre-treated through site-appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.) before entering the stream Please refer to NCDOT Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters 5. Live concrete should not be allowed to contact the water in or entering into the stream. Concrete is mostly made up of lime {calcium carbonate) and when in a dry or wet state (not hardened) calcium carbonate is very soluble in water and has a pH of approzunately 12. In an unhardened state concrete or cement will change the pH of fresh water to very basic and will cause fish and other macroinvertebrate kills. 6. If possible, bridge supports (bents) should not be placed in the stream. 7. N. C.

II General Comments if Replacing the Bride with a Culvert l . The culvert must be designed to allow for aquatic life and fish passage. Generally, the culvert or pipe invert should be buried at ]east 1 foot below the natural streambed (measured from the natural thalweg depth). If multiple barrels are required, barrels other than the base flow barrel(s) should be placed on or near stream bankfull or floodplain bench elevation (similar to Lyonsfield design). These should be reconnected to floodplain benches as appropriate. This may be accomplished by utilizing sills on the upstream end to restrict or divert flow to the base flow barrel(s). Silted barrels should be filled with sediment so as not to cause noxious or mosquito breeding conditions. Sufficient water depth should be provided in the base flow barrel during low flows to accommodate fish movement. If culverts are longer than 40-SO linear feet, alternating or notched baffles should be installed in a manner that mimics existing stream pattern. This should enhance aquatic life passage: 1) by depositing sediments in the barrel, 2) by maintaining channel depth and flow regimes, and 3) by providing resting places for fish and other aquatic organisms. In essence, the base flow barrel(s) should provide a continuum of water depth and channel width without substantial modifications of velocity. 2. If multiple pipes or cells are used, at least one pipe or box should be designed to remain dry during normal flows to allow for wildlife passage. 3. Culverts or pipes should be situated along the existing channel alignment whenever possible to avoid channel realignment. Widening the stream channel must be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage. 4. Riprap should not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic life passage.

If the structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure should be removed and the approach fills removed from the 100-year floodplain. Approach fills should be removed down to the natural ground elevation. The area should be stabilized with grass and planted with native tree species. Tall fescue should not be used in riparian areas. If the area that is reclaimed was previously wetlands, NCDOT should restore the area to wetlands. If successful, the site may be used as wetland mitigation for the subject project or other projects in the watershed. III.

Carolina Department of Transpor- tation (NCDOT) is pxoposiig to replace Bridge No. 29 on SR 1007 (Poole Road) over Clarks Creek. The new bridge will provide safer, snore efficient traffic operations. Data has been collected on die existng human and natural environments, alternatives have been developed, and die impacts of each alternative have been analyzed. NCDOT realizes drat citizens and busiiess owners in die vicinity of die bridge want to be iiformed of die potential impacts drat dus project may have on their homes and businesses. Tins newsletter is part of die public iivolvement process to provide this information. Proposed Replacement Structure and Preferred Alternative NCDOT recoinrnends replacing Bridge No. 29 on die existing alignment wide a double. barrel 10-foot by 8-foot reiiforced concrete box culvert. During construction, traffic will be maiitailed by an on-site detour. T~vo alternatives were studied for the bridge replacement. Alternative A replaces the bridge ii place with an on-site detour north of die existug structure. Alternative B replaces die bridge it place with an on-site detour south of die existing bridge. Alternative A vas selected as die preferred alternative because it ininirnizes stream and wetland impacts more dean Alternative B. Additional Information Public iivolvement is an inportant part of die planning process. The NCDOT encourages citizen involvement on transportation projects, and will consider your suggestions and address all concerns.
