SUBJECT: Nationwide 23 and 33 Permit Application for the replacement of
Bridge No. 195 over Bear Creek (Lake James Creek) on SR 1552 in
McDowell County, Federal Aid Project No. BRZ-1552(8), State
Project No. 8.2872001, TIP No. B-3872.
The NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace the Bridge No. 195
over Bear Creek on SR 1552, with a new bridge just east of the existing .structure at
approximately the same elevation. Bridge No. 195 is a single lane, four span structure 80
feet long with a timber deck on steel I-beams and timber piles. The new bridge will be a two-
lane structure approximately 125 feet in length and 28 feet in width.. A travel way of 22 feet
will be accommodated, with an offset of 3 feet on each side of the bridge. The approach
roadway will consist of two 11-foot travel lanes. Grass shoulder widths will be 4 feet on
each side and increased to 7 feet where guardrail is warranted. One lane of traffic will be
maintained along the existing roadway during construction. Total project length will be
approximately 600 feet.
IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES
The replacement of bridge No. 195 will result in temporary impacts to Waters of the United
States. Impacts to Bear Creek consisting of 0.082 acre (125 linear feet) are proposed due to a
temporary causeway needed for construction of the new structure. Bear Creek [DWQ Index
No. 11-26-1] is located in the Catawba River Basin, in the 03050101 HUC and has a
classification of C.

IMPACTS TO CATAWBA RIVER BASIN BUFFERS
This project is located adjacent to Lake James, which is on the mainstem of the Catawba
River Basin; therefore the regulations pertaining to the riparian buffer rules apply.
The construction of the new roadway approach on the south side of the bridge will impact
approximately 5,096.9 square feet (910.3 ft. in zone 1, 4186.6 ft. in zone 2) of Catawba River
Riparian Buffers where the roadway parallels Lake James. All buffer impacts will occur due
to the necessary fill slopes for the new roadbed on the south side of the project.
Compensatory mitigation is proposed for the buffer impacts.
BRIDGE DEMOLITION
Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and Removal will be implemented.
Bridge No. 195 on SR 1552 is composed mainly of timber and steel. The substructure
consists of timber piles with timber caps and concrete footings. Therefore, Bridge No.
195 can be removed without dropping components into. Waters of the United States.
However, if any material falls into the stream it will be removed as soon as possible as
part of the bridge removal process. This bridge is classified as "Case 3" where there are
no special restrictions beyond those outlined in Best Management Practices for Protection
of Surface Waters.-
BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION
The new structure will be a three span spill through slope bridge. The substructure will
include two sets of drilled piers for the bents. The piers will be located outside the stream
channel. To facilitate construction of the new bridge a temporary causeway across the creek
will be constructed.
TEMPORARY CAUSEWAY
There will be 0.082 acre of temporary impacts in Bear Creek from the construction of the
temporary causeway. The causeway is required for the drilling equipment that will be used
for the installation of the drilled piers. Two fifty-foot long 60-inch corrugated metal pipes
will be placed in the stream and covered with Class II Rip Rap to form the temporary
causeway.
No permanent fill will result from the subject activity. All materials used as temporary fill in
the construction of the causeway will be completely removed. The entire causeway footprint
shall be returned to the original contours and elevations after the purpose of the causeway
has been served. After the causeway is no longer needed, the contractor will use excavating
equipment to remove all materials. The contractor will be required to submit a reclamation
plan for removal of and disposal of all materials off-site.
AVOIDANCE & MINIMIZATION
Due to poor horizontal alignment, the west alternative was eliminated from further
consideration. Replacement farther to the east would cause more buffer impacts and impact
more of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) property. The new bridge will
be located just east of the existing bridge. Elevation of the new bridge will be approximately
2

the same as the existing structure. Traffic will be maintained using one lane of traffic along
the existing roadway. Piers for the new bridge will be located outside the creek channel. A
retaining wall will be constructed along the southern approach to minimize impacts to
riparian buffers. Best management practices (BMP's) will be utilized to minimize water
quality impacts. In compliance with 15A NCAC 02B.0104(m) we have incorporated the use
of BMP's in the design of the project.
MITIGATION
The Department has avoided and minimized impacts to jurisdictional resources to the
greatest extent possible as described above. The subject TIP project is listed in Exhibit 2 of
the Memorandum of Agreement among the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District dated July 22, 2003. The compensatory buffer
mitigation for the project will be provided in accordance with Section IX, NC Ecosystem
Enhancement Program (EEP) Transition Period, of the Agreement.
Since the subject project is listed in Exhibit 2, the necessary compensatory mitigation to
offset unavoidable impacts to waters that are jurisdictional under the federal Clean Water Act
will be provided by the EEP. The offsetting mitigation will derive from an inventory of
assets already in existence within the same 8-digit cataloguing unit. A copy of the EEP
acceptance letter is included with this permit application.
FEDERALLY-PROTECTED SPECIES
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed
Endangered, and Proposed Threatened are protected under Endangered Species Act §§7 and
9. As of January 29, 2003, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists 4 federally
protected species for McDowell County (Table 1). A biological conclusion of "No Effect"
was reached for all federally protected species for this county at this site in 2001. An
additional survey was also conducted by NCDOT biologists on August 4, 2005. During this
survey, no eagles or eagle nests were observed. Additionally, no potential nesting trees will
be disturbed as a result of project construction. However, since the project is located
adjacent to Lake James where bald eagles have been recorded, the biological conclusion for
the bald eagle has been changed to "May Effect-Not Likely to Adversely Affect".

REGULATORY APPROVALS
Section 404 Permit: It is anticipated that the construction ~of the temporary causeways will be
authorized under Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33 (Temporary Construction Access and
Dewatering). We are, therefore, requesting the issuance of a Nationwide Permit 33
authorizing construction of the causeway. All other aspects of this project are being
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 (FR number 10, pages 2020-2095; January 15, 2002).
Section 401 Permit: We anticipate 401 General Certification numbers 3403 and 3366 will
apply to this project. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0501(a) we are providing two
copies of this application to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, Division of Water Quality, for their records.
Catawba Buffer Rules: According to the Catawba Riparian Buffer Rules, bridges are
allowable. Uses designated as allowable may proceed within the riparian buffer provided
that there are no practical alternatives to the requested use pursuant to Sub-Item (8)(a) of the
Rule. These uses require written authorization from the Division or local government with
an approved riparian buffer ordinance. Therefore, NCDOT is hereby requesting written
authorization for a Buffer Certification from the Division of Water Quality.
We anticipate that the Corps of Engineers will request comments from the North Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) prior to authorization. By copy of this letter and
attachment, NCDOT hereby requests NCWRC review. NCDOT requests that NCWRC
forward their comments to the Corps of Engineers.'
A -copy of this permit application will be posted on the DOT website at:

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. New location to the west of the
existing structure was eliminated from further consideration due to difficulty in providing
horizontal alignment. Replacement farther to the east would cause more buffer impacts and
impact more of the Federal Enemy Regulatory Comission (FERC~property. The new bridge
will be located just east of the existing bridge. Elevation of the new bridge will be
approximately the same as the existing structure. Traffic will be maintained using one lane of
traffic along the existing roadway. Piers for the new bridge will be located outside the creek
channel. A retaining wall will be constructed along the southern approach to minimize impacts
to riparian buffers. Best mana eg ment practices (BMP's) will be utilized to minimize water
quality impacts. In compliance with 15A NCAC 02B.0104(m) we have incorporated the use of
BMP's in the design of the project.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater .than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Page 5 of 8

USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 1~5, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o. enr.state.nc. us/ncwetl ands/strm gide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., .deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program will provide compensatory Buffer
mitigation for proposed impacts resulting from project construction.

follows:
Buffer Zone 1: 910.3 square feet.
Buffer Zone 2: 4,186.6 square feet
The NCDOT estimated buffer impacts in the 7-year Impact Projection Database
submitted to EEP in May 2005. The buffer mitigation required for the NCDOT's impact
projections was incorporated into EEP's biennial budget that was submitted to the
NCDCkT for approval in June 2005. However, EEP intends to continue managing all of
the NCDOT's buffer mitigation requests and approvals through the In-Lieu Fee (ILF)
Progrann's Buffer Fund. Any buffer impact associated with projects located in the Neuse,
Tar-Pamlico, and portions of the Catawba River Basins are automatic acceptances by the
EEP, per the agreement with the NCDWQ.
The NCDOT will be responsible to ensure that the appropriate compensation for
the buffer mitigation will be provided in the agreed upon method of fund transfer. Upon
receipt of the NCDW Q's Buffer Certification, the NCDOT will provide the EEP a copy
of the Certification along with a letter verifying the buffer impact/mitigation amounts and

Over Bear Creek
Federal Project BRZ-1552 (8)
WBS 33316.1.1
State Project 8.2872001
TIP No. B-3872
INTRODUCTION: Bridge No. 195 is included in the latest approved North Cazolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and is
eligible for the Federal-Aid Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation 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
NCDOT Bridge Maintenance Unit records indicate Bridge No. 195 has a sufficiency rating of
63.6 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. This bridge is considered to be functionally
obsolete. The replacement of this inadequate structure will result in safer traffic operations.
This bridge had a sufficiency rating of 37.5 in Mazch 1997. Temporary repairs were required
in order for the structure to maintain traffic. The repairs resulted in an increase in the
sufficiency rating.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project is located northeast of the town of Marion in McDowell County, where Beaz
Creek and Bailey Creek enter Lake James (see Figure 2). Development in the azea is
primarily residential and recreational in nature. The immediate vicinity of the bridge of is
forested.
SR 1552 is classified as a Rural Local Route in the .Statewide Functional Classification
System and it is not a National Highway System Route. This route is not a designated bicycle
route and there is no indication that an unusual number of bicyclists use this roadway.
In the vicinity of the bridge, SR 1552 has a 20-foot (6-meter) pavement width with 4-foot
(1.2-meter) grass shoulders (see Figure 3). The roadway grade is fairly level with very poor
horizontal alignment throughout the project limits. The existing bridge is on a tangent. The
roadway is situated approximately 21 feet (6.3 meters) above the creek bed.
Bridge No. 195 is a 4-span structure that consists of a timber deck on steel I-beams with an
asphalt wearing surface. The end bents and interior bents consist of timber piles and caps.
Bent 2 has a concrete footing. The existing bridge (see Figure 3) was constructed in 1959.
The overall length of the structure is 81 feet (24.7 meters). The clear roadway width is 15.8
feet (4.8 meters). The bridge is not posted with weight restrictions for single vehicles or
truck-tractor semi-trailers.
~~
~`

A GTE Underground Telephone line is located along the east side of SR 1552. There is no
indication this line crosses the stream. Utility impacts aze considered to be low.
The current traff c volume of 200 vehicles per day (VPD) is expected to increase to 400 VPD
by the year 2025. The projected volume includes 1%truck-tractor semi-trailer (TTST) and
2% dual-tired vehicles (DT). The speed limit in the vicinity of the bridge is statutory 55 mph
(90 kmh).
There. were no reported accidents in the vicinity of the project during a recent three year
period.
According to the Transportation Director for McDowell County Schools, there are two school
bus crossings per day on Bridge No. 195.
III. ALTERNATIVES
A. Project Description
The replacement structure should be of sufficient width to provide for two 11-foot (3.3-meter)
lanes with 3-foot (1-meter) offsets on each side.
The roadway grade of the new structure will be approximately the same as the existing grade.
The existing roadway approaches will be widened to a 22-foot (6.6-meter) pavement width to
provide two 11-foot (3.3-meter) lanes. Grass shoulder widths will be 4 feet (1.2 meters) on
each side and increased to 7 feet (2.1 meters) where guazdrail is warranted.
B. Reasonable and Feasible Alternatives
One alternative was carried forward for detailed study for replacing Bridge No. 195 and is
described below.
Alternate 1: (Recommended) Replace existing bridge with a new bridge approximately
125 feet (38 meters) in length and east of the existing. Elevation of the new
bridge will be approximately the same as the existing structure. One lane of
traffic will be maintained along the existing roadway during construction. The
design speed will be approximately 20 mph (30 kmh). A design exception will
be required for the horizontal alignment.
C. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Consideration
An off-site detour is not considered to be prudent due to the lack of a suitable detour route.
The "do-nothing" alternative is not practical and will eventually necessitate closure of the
bridge. This is not acceptable due to the traffic service provided by SR 1552.
2

s

"Rehabilitation" of the existing deteriorating bridge is neither practical nor economical.
New location to the west of the. existing structure was eliminated from further consideration
due to the difficulty and cost associated with providing ari acceptable horizontal alignment.
The mountainous terrain does not make it cost effective to pursue alternatives to the west..
Replacement farther to the east was considered, however, buffer impacts are a concern and
staying out of the 1200-foot contour will decrease impacts into the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) Property.
D. Preferred Alternative
As recommended in Alternate 1, Bridge No. 195 will be replaced with a new bridge to the
east, at approximately the same elevation as the existing bridge. This alternate is
recommended because it provides the most economic design while minimizing impacts.
Traffic will be maintained along the existing roadway. Total project length will be
approximately 600 feet (183 meters). Based on preliminary design, the design speed should be
approximately 20 mph (30 kmh). A design exception will ~be required for the horizontal
alignment.
IV. ESTIMATED COSTS
The estimated costs for the.alternate are as follows:
Alternate 1
(Recommended)
Structure $ 306,000
Roadway Approaches $ 125,000
Structure Removal $ 11,000
Detour, Approaches & Removal $ 0
Eng. & Contingencies $ 72,000
Mobilization & Misc. $ 61,000
Total Construction Costs $ 575,000
Right-Of--Way Costs $ 40,000
Total Project Cost $ 615,000
V. NATURAL RESOURCES
PHYSICAL RESOURCES
Soil and water resources, which occur in the study area, are discussed below. Soils and
availability of water directly influence .composition and distribution of flora and fauna in
biotic communities.
3

Regional Characteristics
The project study azea lies within the east-central portion of McDowell County in the Blue
Ridge Mountain major land resource azea. .The topography in this section of McDowell
County consists of strongly sloping to very steep uplands. Topography in the project area is
sloping with an elevation of approximately 1,240 feet (378 meters) above mean sea level.
Land use in this area consists primarily of forested land characterized by rolling hills and the
project is adjacent to Pisgah National Forest. The bridge replacement project is located where
Beaz Creek enters Lake James. This lake is owned by Duke Energy and is used for generation
of hydroelectric power and for recreation.
Soils
Three soil types aze mapped for the project study area and are described in Table 2. There are
no hydric soils mapped within the project study area and Colvazd loam is occasionally
flooded for very brief periods. .

Soils throughout the project site contained bright chromas indicating non-hydric conditions.
Soils and hydrologic indicators were not present on the project site, therefore, wetlands, as
4

defined in the "Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual", 1987, were not observed
within the project study azea.
Water Resources
This section contains information concerning those water resources likely to be impacted by
the project. Water resource information encompasses physical aspects of the resource, its
relationship to major water systems, Best Usage Standazds and water quality of the resources.
Probable impacts to these water bodies are also discussed, as aze means to minimize impacts.
Best Usage Classification
The Division of Water Quality assigns streams a best usage classification based upon their
intended uses. A Best Usage classification of "C" is assigned to Beaz Creek. The "C"
classification denotes waters protected for .secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish and
aquatic life propagation and survival, agriculture and other uses suitable for "Class .C" waters.
Secondary recreation involves human body contact with water where such activities take
place in an infrequent manner. Lake Jarnes, into which Beaz Creek flows, is a water supply
and is classified as WS-V B as of 4/1/99. There are no waters classified as High Quality
Waters (HQW), Water Supplies-I or II (WS-I: undeveloped watersheds or WS-II:
predominately undeveloped watersheds) or Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) within 1.0
mile (1.6 km) of the project study azea.
Physical Characteristics of Surface Waters
Beaz Creek [DWQ Index no. 11-26-1J is the only surface water directly affected by the
proposed project and occurs in subbasin 03-08-30 of the Catawba River Basin. Beaz Creek is
backed up due to lake influence and is lake-like on the eastern side of the bridge where the
proposed bridge will be relocated. This creek is approximately 25 feet (8 meters) wide with
variable depth at this location. Beaz Creek originates approximately 2.5 miles (4 km)
upstream in the Pisgah Forest before it enters Lake James.
Water Quality
The Division of Water Quality has initiated a basinwide approach to water quality
management for the 17 river basins within the state. The basinwide approach allows for. more
intensive sampling of biological, chemical, and physical data that can be used in basinwide
assessment and planning. Likewise, benthic macroinvertebrates aze intensively sampled for
specific river basins. Benthic macroinvertebrates have proven to be a good indicator of water
quality because they aze sensitive to subtle changes in water quality, have a relatively long life
cycle, aze non-mobile (compared to fish) and aze extremely diverse. The overall species
richness and presence of indicator organisms help to assess the health of streams and rivers.
River basins aze reassessed every five yeazs to detect changes in water quality and to facilitate
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit review.

Bear Creek has not been sampled by the DWQ for benthic macroinvertebrates. However,
within a mile of the project site, downstream of Bear Creek in Lake James, the DWQ
monitors an ambient water quality station. 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. The classification (freshwater
or saltwater) of a waterbody and corresponding water quality standards determine the type of
water quality data or pazameters that are collected. Water quality in this lake is good and
trophic status has been determined to be `oligotrophic' or nutrient poor, indicating that
organic enrichment is not a problem with this lake.
Point source dischazgers located throughout North Carolina are permitted through the NPDES
Program. Dischazgers are required to register for a permit. There aze no point source
dischazgers located within a 1.0 mile (1.6 km) radius of the project study area.
Summary of Anticipated Impacts
Impacts to surface waters are anticipated as a result of construction activities. This may
include scouring of the streambed, .siltation, runoff of toxic substances, and damage to the
stream banks. Limiting earth removal, vegetation removal, and in-stream activities best
minimizes impacts to surface waters. NCDOT's Best Management Practices for the
Protection of Surface Waters and Sedimentation Control Guidelines must be enforced during
the construction stage of the project. Utilizing the full ROW width of 80 feet (24.4 meters)
anticipated impacts to Bear Creek will be 80 feet. Usually, project construction does not
require the entire ROW, and the river will be bridged, therefore, actual impacts may be
considerably less.
Bridge Demolition and Removal
Bridge No. 195 on SR 1552 is composed mainly of timber and steel. The substructure consists
of timber piles with timber caps and concrete footings. Therefore, Bridge No. 195 will be
removed without dropping components into Waters of the United States. This bridge is
classified as "Case 3" where there are no special restrictions beyond those outlined in Best
Management Practices for Protection of Surface Waters.
BIOTIC RESOURCES
Biotic resources include aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. This section describes those
ecosystems encountered in the study area, as well as the relationships between fauna and flora
within these ecosystems. Composition and distribution of biotic communities throughout the
project azea are reflective of topography, hydrologic influences and past and present land uses
in the study azea. Descriptions of the terrestrial systems aze presented in the context of plant
community classifications. These classifications follow descriptions presented by ~Schafale
and Weakley (1990) where possible. Dominant flora and fauna observed, or likely to occur,
in each community are described and discussed.
6

Scientific nomenclature and common names (when applicable) aze provided for each animal
and plant species described. Plant taxonomy generally follows Radford, et al. (1968).
Animal taxonomy follows Martof, et al. (1980), Menhinick (1991), Potter, et al. (1980), and
Webster, et al. (1985). Subsequent references to the same organism will include the common
name.:only. Fauna observed during the site visit aze denoted by an asterisk (*). Published
range distributions and habitat analysis aze used in estimating fauna expected to be present
within the project area.
Biotic communities
Three communities aze -found within the project boundaries: maintained disturbed,
piedmont/low mountain alluvial forest and mountain stream/arm of lake. Community
boundaries within the study area aze fairly well defined and terrestrial fauna likely to occur
within the study area may exploit all communities for shelter and foraging opportunities or as
movement corridors.
Disturbed/maintained roadside community
The maintained/disturbed community occurs at the roadside shoulders along the length of the
approaches within the project study area. In addition to various grasses, typical weedy
roadside species including honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), sericea (Lespedeza cuneata) and
vetch (Vicia sp.) are found on road shoulders. Downstream of the bridge, on the northwest
portion of the project, the road shoulder drops off sharply and a steep hillside is present down
to the lake. The steep, hillside occupies little area and had been disturbed as a result of prior
road construction, therefore it is included in this community type. Roadside and hillside trees
include chestnut oak (Quercus prinus), mockernut hickory (Carya tomentosa), sweet birch
(Betula lenta), catalpa (Catalpa speciosa) and red maple (Acer rubrum). Understory shrubs
such as hydrangea (Hydrangea sp.), sweet shrub (Calycanthus floridus) and multiflora rose
(Rosa multijlora) are also present.
Piedmont/Low Mountain Alluvial Forest
The piedmontJlow mountain alluvial forest community is found in the northeastern quadrant
of the project where much of the new bridge approach will be shifted. This community
consists of low woods that may be intermittently flooded when lake levels are backed up
above normal pool levels. Included in this community is a zone of vegetation that occurs
where lake levels stabilize most frequently. Vegetation adjacent to the lake includes river
birch (Betula nigra), black willow (Salix nigra), tag alder (Alnus serrulata), swamp rose
(Rosa palustris), and silky dogwood (Corpus amomum). The herbaceous plants, false nettle
(Boehmeria cylindrica), jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) and cardinal flower (Lobelia
cardinalis) aze found along the perimeter of the lake arm.
Canopy trees along the new alignment include tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera),
sweetgum (Liquidambar styracijlua), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), and several species
of pine (Virginia pine -Pines virginiana, shortleaf pine -Pines echinata and white pine -
Pinus strobes). Understory trees and shrubs consisted of flowering dogwood (Corpus
7

Florida), black cherry (Prunus serotina), hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), American holly (Ilex
opaca) and saplings of the canopy trees.
Ground vegetation consists predominately of smilax (Smilax sp.), poison ivy (Toxicodendron
radicans), yellowroot (Xanthorhiza simplicissima), aster (Aster divericatus), golden ragwort
(Senecio aureus) and Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides).
Mountain stream arm of lake
Although the upper reach of Beaz Creek is considered a mountain stream, at the project study
azea, Bear Creek retains lake-like characteristics as it is backed up and flow is not discernible.
During the site visits, Bear Creek was approximately 25 feet (8 meters) wide where the new
bridge is to be constructed. Bottom substrate includes sand, gravel, and cobble. Water clarity
of Lake James is generally good and at the water's edge, a branched macroalga, Chara, a .
stonewort, which has a preference for clear waters, is found growing in abundance.
Wildlife
The physical chazacteristics of the terrestrial and aquatic communities in an azea will affect
the fauna that are present and use the azea. This section addresses the fauna likely to be found
in the project study area.
Terrestrial Fauna
Mammalian fauna likely to occur throughout these communities includes Virginia opossum
(Didelphis virginiana), muskrat (Ondatra aibethicus), raccoon* (Procyon lotor), white-tailed
deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and gray fox (Urocyon cineroargenteus). Reptiles and
amphibians common in this area include eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens), which is
terrestrial as a sub-adult (eft), American toad (Bufo americanus), spring peeper (Hyla
crucifer), bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana), eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina) and rat snake
(Elaphe obsoleta).
Avian fauna likely to occur in this area includes permanent residents such as gray catbird*
(Dumtella carolinensis), northern cazdinal* (Cardinalis cardinalis), goldfinch* (Carduelis
tristis), eastern phoebe* (Sayornis phoebe), chickadee* (Parus carolinensis), tufted titmouse*
(Parus bicolor), Carolina wren* (Thryothorus ludovicianus), pine warbler* (Dendroica pinus)
and pileated woodpecker* (Dryocopus pileatus). Migratory species that may use the azea for
feeding and nesting include red-eyed vireo* (Vireo olivaceous), yellow wazbler* (Dendroica
petechia) and other various species of wazblers. Wild turkeys* (Meleagris gallopavo) (as
well as turkey hunters) were observed during the site visit.
Aquatic Fauna
Common fish that may reside in the Bear Creek arm of Lake James include bluegill (Lepomis
macrochirus), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), gizzard shad (Dorosoma

cepedianum), channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and carp (Cyprinius carpio). Crayfish
(family: Cambaridae) and their chimneys were observed near the lake edge.
Summary of Anticipated Impacts
Calculated impacts to terrestrial resources reflect the relative abundance of each community
present within the study azea. Project construction may result in clearing and degradation of
portions of these communities. Table 3 summarizes potential quantitative losses to these
communities, resulting from project construction. Estimated impacts aze derived using the
entire proposed ROW for new location and excluding azeas under pavement for impact
calculations. Usually, project construction does not require the entire ROW; therefore, actual
impacts may be considerably less.

Plant communities found within the proposed project azea serve as nesting and sheltering
habitat for various wildlife. Replacing Bridge No. 195 may reduce habitat for faunal species,
thereby diminishing faunal numbers on a temporary basis. However, due to the size and
scope of this project, it is anticipated that impacts to fauna will be minimal.
Areas modified by construction (but not paved) will become road shoulders and early
successional habitat. Reduced habitat will displace some wildlife further from the roadway
while attracting other wildlife by the creation of more early successional habitat. Animals
temporarily displaced by construction activities will repopulate azeas suitable for the species.
Aquatic communities aze sensitive to small changes in their environment. Although direct
impacts may be temporary, environmental impacts from these construction processes may
result in long term or irreversible effects. Impacts often associated with in-stream
construction include increased channelization and scouring of the streambed. In-stream
construction alters the stream substrate and may remove streamside vegetation at the site.
Disturbances to the substrate will produce siltation, which clogs the gills and/or feeding
mechanisms of benthic organisms (sessile filter-feeders and deposit- feeders), fish and
amphibian species. Benthic organisms can also be covered by excessive amounts of
sediment. These organisms are slow to recover or repopulate a stream.
The removal of streamside vegetation and placement of fill material at the construction site
alters the terrain. ~ Alteration of the streambank enhances the likelihood of erosion and
sedimentation. Revegetation stabilizes and holds the soil thus mitigating these processes.
Erosion and sedimentation carry soils, toxic compounds and other materials into aquatic
communities at the construction site. These processes magnify turbidity and can cause the
9

formation of sandbazs at the site and downstream, thereby altering water flow and the growth
of vegetation. Streamside alterations also lead to more direct sunlight penetration and to
elevation of water temperatures, which may impact many species.
JURISDICTIONAL TOPICS
This section provides descriptions, inventories and impact analysis pertinent to two important
issues -waters of the United States and raze and protected species.
Waters of the United States
Surface waters and wetlands fall under the broad category of "Waters of the United States," as
defined in Section 33 of the Code of Federal Register (CFR) Section 328.3(a). Wetlands,
defined in 33 CFR Section 328.3(b), are those azeas that are inundated or saturated by surface
or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal
circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted to life in saturated
conditions. Any action that proposes to place fill into these azeas falls under the jurisdiction
of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (tJSACE), and must follow the statutory provisions
under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344).
Characteristics of Wetlands and Surface Waters
Criteria to determine the presence of jurisdictional wetlands include evidence of hydric soils,.
hydrophytic vegetation and hydrology. The alluvial forest in the northeastern quadrant of the
project azea was examined for wetland chazacteristics. While hydrophytic vegetation was
present, hydrologic indicators and hydric soils were absent. Bright, high chroma soils were
present on the project- site. Based on these criteria, jurisdictional wetlands are not present
within the project boundaries.
Beaz Creek is a jurisdictional surface water under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33
U.S.C. 1344). Discussion of the biological, physical, and water quality aspects of this creek
are presented in previous sections of this report.
Summary of Anticipated Impacts
The anticipated total impact to surface waters from the proposed project is 80 linear feet (24
linear meters) which is derived by using the entire proposed ROW width. Usually, project
construction does not require the entire ROW; and since this area on new location will be
bridged, actual surface water impacts may be considerably less.
In addition, as previously mentioned, there is not potential for components of the bridge to be
dropped into Waters of the United States. However, NCDOT's Best Management Practices
for Bridge Demolition and Removal (BMP-BDR) must be applied for the removal of this
bridge. According to NC Wildlife Resources Commission, this project will not require a
moratorium.
10

Permits
Impacts to jurisdictional surface waters are anticipated. In accordance with provisions of
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, a permit will be required from the USACE for the
discharge of dredged or fill material into "Waters of the United States."
A Section 404 Nationwide 23 Permit is likely to be applicable for all impacts to Waters. of the
United States from the proposed project. This permit authorizes activities undertaken,
assisted, authorized, regulated, funded or financed in whole, or part, by another Federal
agency or department where that agency or department has determined that pursuant to the
Council on Environmental Quality Regulation for implementing the procedural provisions of
the National Environmental Policy Act:
(1) that the activity, work, or discharge is categorically excluded from environmental
documentation because it is included within a category of actions which neither
individually nor cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment,
and;
(2) that the office of the Chief of Engineers has been furnished notice of .the agency or
department's application for the categorical exclusion and concurs with that
determination.
A North Cazolina Division of Water Quality Section 401 Water Quality Certification is
required prior to the issuance of the Section 404 permit. This project will also bes affected by
the Catawba Riparian Buffer Rules, which are applicable to manipulations occurring on buffer
zones within the mainstem Catawba lakes from Lake James and downstream. These rules
were temporarily adopted effective June 30, 2001. In the rules, statute 15A NCAC 2B .0243,
decrees that bridges are deemed allowable. Uses designated as "allowable" may proceed
within the riparian buffer provided that there are no practical alternatives to the requested use.
In addition, these uses require written authorization from the DWQ. The project must
minimize impacts to buffers and comply with the Catawba Riparian Buffer Rules. Buffer
mitigation for use with future projects could be acquired by restoring and replanting the
approach where the current bridge is located.
Avoidance, Minimization and Mitigation
The COE has adopted, through the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), a wetland and
stream mitigation policy which embraces the concept of. "no net loss" and sequencing. The
purpose of this policy is to restore and maintain the chemical, biological and physical integrity
of Waters of the United States. Mitigation has been defined by the CEQ to include: avoiding
impacts, minimizing impacts, rectifying impacts, reducing impacts over time and
compensating for impacts (40 CFR Section 1508.20). Each of these three aspects (avoidance,
minimization and compensatory mitigation) must be considered sequentially.
The concept of `avoidance' examines all appropriate and practicable possibilities of averting
impacts to Waters of the United States. A 1990 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the COE states that in determining
"appropriate and practicable" measures to offset unavoidable impacts, such measures should
11

be appropriate to the scope and degree of those impacts and practicable in terms of cost,
existing technology and logistics in light of overall project purposes.
Minimization includes the examination of appropriate and practicable steps to reduce the
adverse impacts to Waters of the United States. Implementation of these steps will be
required through project modifications and permit conditions. Minimization typically focuses
on decreasing the footprint of the proposed project through the reduction of median widths,
ROW widths, fill slopes and/or road shoulder widths. Other practical mechanisms to
minimize impacts to Waters of the United States crossed by the proposed project include:
strict enforcement of sedimentation control BMPs for the. protection of surface waters during
the entire life of the project; reduction of clearing and grubbing activity; reduction/elimination
of direct discharge into streams; reduction of runoff velocity; re-establishment of vegetation
on exposed areas, judicious pesticide and herbicide usage; minimization of "in-stream"
activity; and litter/debris control.
Compensatory mitigation is not normally considered until anticipated impacts to Waters of
the United States have been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent possible. It is
recognized that "no net loss" of functions and values may not be achieved in each and every
permit action. Appropriate and practicable compensatory mitigation is required for
unavoidable adverse impacts that remain after all appropriate and practicable minimization
has been required. Compensatory actions often include restoration, creation and enhancement
of Waters of the United States. Such actions should be undertaken in areas adjacent to or
contiguous to the discharge site.
Rare and Protected Species
Some populations of fauna and flora have been in, or are in, the process of decline either due
to natural forces or their inability to coexist with human activities. Federal law (under the
provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended) requires that any action,
likely to adversely affect a species classified as federally-protected, be subject to review by
the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Other species may receive additional protection
under sepazate state laws.
Federally-Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed
Endangered and Proposed Threatened aze protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section
9 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended. As of February 24, 2003, there
aze four Federally Protected Species for McDowell County (Table 4}.
12

Table 4. Federally Protected Species for McDowell County
SCIENTIFIC NAME COMMON NAME STATUS
Clemmys muhlenbergii Bog turtle
" Threatened (due to
similarity of
appearance)
Haliaeetus leucocephalus Bald eagle Threatened (proposed
for de-listing)
Hudstonia montana mountain golden heather Threatened
Isotria medeoloides small whorled pogonia Threatened
~ t-reatenect -- a species that is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable
future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.
Threatened due to similarity of appearance -- (e.g., American alligator)--a species that is
threatened due to similarity of appearance with other raze species and is listed for its
protection. These species are not biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to
Section consultation.
Clemmys muhlenbergi (bog turtle)
Threatened Due to Similarity of Appearance (southern population)
Animal Family: Emydidae.
Date Listed: June 4, 1987
The bog turtle is a small semi-aquatic reptile, measuring 3.0 - 4.5 inches (7.5-Y 1.4 cm) in
length, with a weakly keeled, dazk brown cazapace and a blackish plastron with lighter
mazkings along the midline. There is a conspicuous orange or yellow blotch on each side of
the head. This species exhibits sexual dimorphism; the males have concave plastrons and
longer, thicker tails, while females have flat plastrons and shorter tails.
The bog turtle is found in the eastern United States, in two distinct regions. The northern
population, in Massachusetts, Connecticut, southern New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, and Delawaze is listed as Threatened and protected by the Endangered Species Act.
The southern population, occurring in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
and Georgia is listed as Threatened Due to Similarity of Appearance.
Preferred bog turtle habitat consists of fens, sphagnum bogs, swamps, marshy meadows and
pastures. Areas with clear, slow-flowing water, soft mud substrate, and an open canopy aze
- ideal. Clumps of vegetation such as_tussock sedge and sphagnum moss aze important for
nesting and basking. This species hibernates from October to April, hiding just under the
frozen surface of mud.. The diet consists of beetles, moth and butterfly larvae, caddisfly
larvae, snails, nematodes, millipedes, seeds, and camon.
The primary threats to the bog turtle are loss of habitat (from increased residential and
commercial development as well as draining, clearing, and filling wetlands) and illegal
collecting for the pet trade. Nest predation and disease may also play a role in the population
decrease.
13

This species is listed as Threatened Due to Similarity of Appeazance, and is therefore not
protected under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. However, in order to control the
illegal trade of individuals from the protected northern population, federal regulations are
maintained on the commercial trade of all bog turtles. No survey is required for this species.
Haliaeetus leucocephalus (bald eagle)
Threatened
Animal Family: Accipitridae
Date Listed: Mazch 11, 1967
Bald eagles aze found in North America from Florida to Alaska. The only .major nesting
population in the southeast is in Florida; other nesting occurs in coastal areas of Louisiana,
Mississippi, and South Carolina. Migrants and rare nesting pairs do occur elsewhere in the
southeast.
Adult bald eagles can be identified by their large white head and short white tail. The body
plumage is dazk-brown to chocolate- brown in' color. Immature eagles lack the white head
plumage; the body plumage has a uniform brownish to blackish color with blotchy white on
the underside of the wings, belly, and tail. In flight, bald eagles can be identified by their flat
wing soaz. Adults range is length. from 2 - 3 feet (60-90 cm) and have a wingspan ranging
from 6 - 7 feet (183 - 213 cm).
There are several factors that affect an eagle's selection of a nest site..Eagle nests aze found
in close proximity to water (within a half mile) with a cleaz flight path to the water, in the
largest living tree in an area, and having an open view of the surrounding land. Human
disturbance can cause an eagle to abandon otherwise suitable habitat. Eagle nests aze
approximately 3 meters across.
The breeding season for the bald eagle begins in December or January. Fish aze the major
food source for bald eagles. Other sources include coots, herons, and wounded ducks. Food
may be live or carrion.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION NO EFFECT
Suitable nesting habitat such as open waters or tall trees does occur within the project area.
During site visits on Apri120 and June 7, 2001 the azea was surveyed for bald eagles and their
nests. No individuals. or nests were spotted. A known bald eagle nest is located approximately
7.5 miles (12.1 km) east of the project (B-3872) site. This nest is located in a tree on the edge
of Lake James. A review of the NC Natural Heritage Program database of rare species and
unique habitats in November 2000 and July 2001 did not indicate known occurrences of
nesting bald eagles in this vicinity. It can be concluded that the proposed bridge replacement
will not affect the bald eagle.
14

Hudsonia montana (mountain golden heather)
Threatened
Plant Family: Cistaceae
Federally Listed: October 20, 1980
Flowers Present: mid to late June
Mountain golden heather is a low, needle-leaved shrub that is yellow-green in color. This
shrub usually grows in clumps and retains its leaves from the previous year which appear
scale-like on the older branches. Leaves appeaz awl-shaped and thread-like. Mountain
golden heather forms solitary, terminal, lanceolate flowers. These yellow flowers have five
blunt-tipped petals and 20 to 30 stamens. Fruit capsules have three projecting points at the
tips and aze round in shape.
Hudsonia montana occurs in weathered rocky soils on mountain tops, with known
populations found. at elevations of 2,800 to 4,000 feet (850 to 1200 meters). It can be found
on exposed quartzite ledges in an ecotone between baze rock and heath balds dominated by
Leiophyllum which merge into pine forest. Plants do live in partially shaded areas, but do not
appear to be as healthy as those found in open azeas. A critical habitat area for mountain
golden heather exists in Burke County.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION NO EFFECT
Suitable habitat for Hudsonia montana such as mountain tops and heath balds does not exist
within the project area. Project elevation of the site is lower than that at which this plant
typically occurs. Furthermore, no plants of mountain golden heather were observed on June
7, 2001. It can be concluded that this project will not affect mountain golden heather.
Isotria medeoloides (small whorled pogonia)
Threatened
Plant Family: Orchidaceae
Federally Listed: September 10, 1982
Flowers Present: mid May-mid June
Small whorled pogonia is a perennial orchid having long pubescent roots and a hollow stem.
Stems terminate in a whorl of five or six light green, elliptical leaves that are somewhat
pointed. One or two light-green flowers are produced at the end of the stem. Flowers of
small-whorled pogonia have short sepals.
The small whorled pogonia grows in. second growth deciduous or deciduous-coniferous
forests, with an open canopy, open shrub layer, and sparse herb layer. This plant prefers
acidic soils. Flowering is inhibited in areas where there is relatively high shrub coverage or
high sapling density.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION NO EFFECT
15

Typical habitat such as second growth or deciduous coniferous forest does not exist within the
project study area. This azea was surveyed on June 7, 2001 for protected species and there
were no plants of small whorled pogonia present. In addition, The NC Natural Heritage
Program database of raze and unique habitats does not contain records for this species in this
azea. Therefore, the bridge replacement project will not impact small whorled pogonia.
Federal Species of Concern and State Listed Species
There aze thirteen Federal Species of Concern (FSC) listed for McDowell County as of Mazch
22, 2001. Federal Species of Concern aze not afforded federal protection under the ESA and
are not subject to any of its provisions, including Section 7, until they are formally proposed
or listed as Threatened or Endangered. Federal Species of Concern are defined as those
species that may or may not be listed in the future. These species were formerly candidate
species, or species under consideration for listing for which there was insufficient information
to support a listing of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed Endangered and Proposed
Threatened. Organisms which aze listed as Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern by
the North Cazolina Natural Heritage Program list of raze plant and animal species are afforded
state protection under the State Endangered Species Act and the North Cazolina Plant
Protection and Conservation Act of 1979.
Table 5 lists Federal Species of Concern, the species state status and the presence of suitable
habitat for each species in the study azea. This species list is provided for informational
purposes as the status of these species may be upgraded in the future.

"T"--A Threatened species is one which is likely to become endangered species within the
foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range.
"E"-An Endangered species is one whose continued existence as a viable component of the
State's flora (plants) is determined to be in jeopardy or a native wild animal whose continued
16

.:
existence as a viable component of the State's fauna is determined by the WRC to be in jeopardy
or endangered pursuant to the Endangered Species Act.
• "SC"--A Special Concern species is one which requires monitoring but may be taken or collected
and sold under regulations adopted under the provisions of Article 25 of Chapter 113 of the
General Statutes (animals) and the Plant Protection and Conservation Act (plants). Only
propagated material may be sold of Special Concern plants that are also listed as Threatenedi or
Endangered.
• "C"--A Candidate species is one which is very rare in North Cazolina, generally with 1-20
populations in the state, generally substantially reduced in numbers by habitat destruction, direct
exploitation or disease. The species is also either rare throughout its range or disjunct in North
Cazolina from a main range. in a different part of the country or the world.
• "SR"--A Significantly Rare species is one which is very rare in North Carolina, generally with 1-
20 populations in the state, generally substantially reduced in numbers by habitat destruction,
direct exploitation or disease. The species is generally more common elsewhere in its range,
occurring peripherally in North Carolina.
• "W1"--A Watch Category 1 species is a raze species whose status in North Cazolina is relatively
well known and which appears to be relatively secure at this time.
• "W2"--A Watch Category 2 species is a rare to uncommon species in North Carolina, but is not
necessazily declining or in trouble.
• "W3"--A Watch Category 3 species is a species which is poorly known in North Cazolina, but is
not necessarily considered to be declining.
• "WS"--A Watch Category 5 species is a species with increasing amounts of threats to its habitat;
populations may or may not be known to be declining.
• "/P_"--denotes a species which has been formally proposed for listing as Endangered, Threatened,
or Special Concern, but has not yet completed the listing process.
• -- Historic record -the species was last observed in the county more than 50 yeazs ago.
• * * -- Obscure record -the date and/or location of observation is uncertain.
Surveys for these species were not conducted during the site visit, nor were any of these
species incidentally observed. A review of the NC Natural Heritage Program database of rare
species and unique habitats (November 2000, July 2001) revealed no records of Federal
Species of Concern in or neaz the project study area.
VI. CULTURAL RESOURCES
A. Compliance Guidelines
This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act of 1966, as amended, implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified at Title 36 CFR Part 800. Section 106
requires Federal agencies to take into account the effect of their undertakings (federally
funded, licensed, or permitted) on properties included in or eligible for inclusion in the
National Register of Historic Places and afford the Advisory Council a reasonable opportunity
to comment on such undertakings.
17

B. Historic Architecture
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) reviewed the subject project and there are no
known properties of architectural significance within the proposed project azea. The. HPO
concurs that this project is not likely to affect any resources of historical significance (see
letter dated February 14, 2001). . _
C. Archaeology
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) reviewed the subject project. One known
azchaeological site, 31MC2 was surveyed. During the course of the survey, the site was
relocated. No further azchaeological investigation is required, nor is the site eligible for
inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (see letter dated October 11, 2001).
VII. GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
This project is expected to have an overall positive impact. Replacement of an inadequate
bridge will result in safer traffic operations.
This project is considered to be a "Categorical Exclusion" due to its limited scope and
insignificant environmental consequences.
This bridge replacement will not have a substantial adverse effect on the quality of the human
or natural environment by implementing the environmental commitments listed on the Project
Commitments Sheet (Green Sheet) of this document in addition to use of current NCDOT
standazds and specifications.
The project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulation. No
change in land use is expected to result from construction of this project.
No adverse effect on families or communities is anticipated. Right-of--way acquisition will be
limited. No relocatees aze expected with implementation of the proposed alternative.
No adverse effect on public facilities or services is expected. The project is not expected to
adversely affect social, economic, or religious opportunities in the azea.
The proposed project will not require right-of--way acquisition or easement from any land
protected under Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966.
The Farmland Protection Policy Act requires all federal agencies. or their representatives to
consider the potential impact to prime farmland of all land acquisition and construction
projects. There aze no soils classified as prime, unique, or having state or local importance in
the vicinity of the project. Therefore, the project will not involve the direct conversion of
farmland acreage within these classifications.
18

w
f
The project is an air quality "neutral" project, so it is not required to be included in the
regional emissions analysis and a project level CO analysis, is not required. If vegetation is
disposed of by burning, all burning shall be done in accordance with applicable local laws and
regulations of the North Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) for air quality in
compliance with 15 NCAC 2D.0520.
Noise levels could increase during construction but will be temporary. This evaluation
completes the assessment requirements for highway traffic noise of Title 23, Code of Federal
Regulation (CFR), Part 772 and no additional report is required.
A field reconnaissance survey by NCDOT's Geotechnical Engineering Unit revealed no
regulated underground storage tanks or hazardous waste sites in the project area.
The proposed bridge replacement project will not raise the existing flood levels. or have any
significant adverse effect on the existing floodplain.
VII. AGENCY COMMENTS
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)
Treatment of stonnwater should be taken into consideration and no deck drains will be
allowed to dischazge water into Beaz Creek.
Duke Power
The boundary of the Energy Plant is the 1200-foot contour, which is considered full pond for
Lake James. Since NCDOT is encroaching (crossing over) Duke Power Property, a Federal
Energy Regulation Commission (FERC) Application must be submitted. Coordination has
begun between NCDOT and Duke Power. Requirements from the FERC regarding permits
must be met prior to letting.
