SUBJECT: Nationwide 23 and 33 Permit Application for the proposed
replacement of Bridge No. 42 over Second Broad River on SR
1163. McDowell County, Federal Aid Project No. BRZ-1163(3),
Division 13, T.I.P. No. B-4195, Debit $240 from WBS Element
33544.1.1
Dear Mr. Baker:
Please find enclosed the Preconstruction Notification, permit drawings, and half-size
design plans for the above-mentioned project. A Categorical Exclusion (CE) was
completed for this project in June 2006 and distributed shortly thereafter. Additional
copies of the CE are available upon request. The North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) plans to replace the existing 57-foot long bridge, with a new
80-foot by 32-foot bottomless pre-cast reinforced concrete culvert. Traffic will use an
offsite detour during construction. Project impacts total 90 feet of permanent fill and 0.05
acre of temporary fill in the Second Broad River.
IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES
-General Description: The project is located in the Broad River Basin (HUC 03050105)
and will impact the Second Broad River. The Second Broad River (Index # 9-41-(0.5)) is
assigned a best usage classification of WS-V, by the N.C. Division of Water Quality
(DWQ). The Second Broad River is not designated as a North Carolina Natural or Scenic
River, or as a National Wild and Scenic River, nor is it listed on the 2006 Final 303(d)
list. The project does not drain to a 303(d) stream within one mile of the project limits.
No designated High Quality Waters (HQW), Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW),
Water Supply I (WS-I), or Water Supply II (WS-II) waters occur within 1.0 mile of the
project. No wetlands occur on the project.

Permanent Impacts: Permanent stream impacts will total 90 feet from the installation of
the bottomless culvert in the Second Broad River. Installation of the bottomless culvert
will disturb portions of the stream channel and banks.
Temporary Impacts: Temporary impacts of 0.05 acre of fill are expected from
construction access and dewatering needed to construct the culvert in the Second Broad
River.
Utility Impacts: No impacts will occur to jurisdictional resources due to utility
relocations.
Bridge Demolition: Bridge No. 42 consists of a timber floor on I beams and channels
with an asphalt wearing surface. The end bents are composed of reinforced concrete
abutments and the interior bent consists of a reinforced concrete cap on a concrete pile.
Removal of the old bridge is not expected to result in any fill in the Second Broad River.
NCDOT's Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and Removal will be
implemented.
FEDERALLY-PROTECTED SPECIES
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered (E), Threatened (T),
Proposed Endangered (PE) and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected under provisions
of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) lists 4 federally protected species that occur in
McDowell County (Table 1). A resurvey of the project area on September 13, 2007
confirmed there is no habitat available for any federally protected species.

The bald eagle was delisted as of August 8, 2007 and is no longer protected by the
Endangered Species Act. It is, however, protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act. Surveys conducted in September 2007 confirmed that and no nests or
individuals are present 660 feet of the project area and no foraging habitat is present
within one mile of the project area.

AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
The NCDOT is committed to incorporating all reasonable and practicable design features
to avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts, and to provide full compensatory mitigation
of all remaining, unavoidable jurisdictional impacts. Avoidance measures were taken
during the planning and NEPA compliance stages; minimization measures were
incorporated as part of the project design and include:
• An offsite detour will be used.
• Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and Removal will be followed.
• Best Management Practices for the protection of Surface Waters will be enforced
during the construction of the project.
• A bottomless culvert will be installed.
MITIGATION
Mitigation is not proposed because impacts are minimal. Additionally, no high quality
resources or special aquatic habitat will be impacted by the proposed project.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
The project is scheduled to let September 16, 2008 and has a review date of July 29,
2008.
REGULATORY APPROVALS
Section 404 Permit: This project has been processed by the Federal Highway
Administration as a "Categorical Exclusion." NCDOT hereby requests that the
construction be authorized under Clean Water Act Section 404 Nationwide Permits 23
and 33.
Section 401 Permit: We anticipate 401 General Certification numbers 3701 and 3688 will
apply to this project. All general conditions of the Water Quality Certifications will be
adhered to, however permanent stream impacts total greater then 40 feet, therefore
requiring a minor certification and written concurrence. In accordance with 15A NCAC
2H, Section .0500(a), we are providing five copies of this application to the DWQ for
their records and $240 to act as payment for processing the permit application (See
subject line).
This project is located in a trout county, therefore comments from the WRC will be
required prior to authorization by the Corps of Engineers. By copy of this letter and
attachment, NCDOT hereby requests WRC Review. NCDOT requests that WRC forward
their comments to the Corps of Engineers and the NCDOT within 30 calendar days of
receipt of this application.

INTRODUCTION: Bridge No. 42 is included in the latest approved North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and
is eligible for 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
NCDOT Bridge Maintenance Unit records indicate Bridge No. 42 has a sufficiency rating
of 33.3 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The bridge is considered functionally
obsolete due to a deck geometry appraisal of 2 out of 9 according to Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) standards. It is considered structurally deficient due to a
structural appraisal of 2 out of 9 according to Federal Highway Administration standards
and therefore eligible FHWA's Bridge Replacement Program.
Bridge No. 42 has a timber deck on steel I-Beams. Timber components have a typical life
expectancy of 40 to 50 years due to the natural deterioration rate of wood. Rehabilitation
of timber structure components is generally practical only when a few members are
damaged or prematurely deteriorated. However, past a certain degree of deterioration,
timber components become impractical to maintain for replacement. Longitudinal Beams
have experienced scattered bending and warping and scattered rust.
Bridge No. 42 carries 700 vehicles per day with 1,100 vehicles per day projected for the
future. The substandard deck width is becoming increasingly unacceptable and
replacement of the bridge will result in safer traffic operations.
Components of the concrete. substructure have experienced an increasing degree of
deterioration that can no longer be addressed by maintenance activities. The posted
weight limit on the bridge is down to 15 tons for single vehicles (SV's) and 19 tons for
truck-tractor semi-trailers (TTST's). The bridge is approaching the end of its useful life.

II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project is located approximately 2 miles from Sugar Hill in McDowell County, near
the intersection of SR 1163 (Dirk Cannon Road) and SR 1351 (Mud Cut Road) (see
Figure 1). Development in the area is agricultural and residential in nature.
SR 1163 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 1163 has an 18-foot pavement width with 3-foot grass
shoulders (see Figure 3). The existing bridge is on a tangent, but the approaches are
curved. The roadway is situated approximately 12.0 feet above the creek bed.
Bridge No. 42 is a two-span structure that consists of a timber floor on I-beams and
channels with anasphalt-wearing surface. The end bents consist of reinforced concrete
abutments. The interior bent consists of a reinforced concrete cap on a concrete pile. The
existing bridge (see Figure 3) was constructed in 1960. The overall length of the structure
is 57 feet. The clear roadway width is 19.1 feet. The posted weight limit on this bridge is
15 tons for SV's and 18 tons for TTST's.
There are no utilities attached to the existing structure, but an overhead telephone line
crosses the river just east of the bridge. Utility impacts are expected to be low.
The current traffic volume of 700 vehicles per day (VPD) is expected to increase to
1,100 VPD by the year 2025. The projected volume includes one percent TTST's and
two percent dual-tired vehicles (DT's). The speed limit is 55 miles per hour in the project
area. Three school buses cross the bridge daily on their morning and afternoon routes.
There were two accidents reported in the vicinity of the Bridge No. 42 during a recent
three-year period. One of the two accidents was associated with the alignment or
geometry of the bridge or its approach roadway.
III. ALTERNATIVES
A. Project Description
The proposed replacement structure will consist of a 32-foot wide by 12-foot high
bottomless precast reinforced concrete culvert. The culvert size is based on preliminary
design information and is set by hydraulic requirements. This structure will be of
sufficient width to provide two 11-foot lanes with 6-foot shoulders (9 feet with guardrail).
The roadway grade of the new structure will be approximately the same as the existing
roadway grade.
2

The existing roadway will be widened to a 22-foot pavement width to provide two
11-foot lanes. Six-foot shoulders will be provided on each side. This roadway will be
designed as a Rural Local Route.
B. Reasonable and Feasible Alternatives
Only one alternate for replacing Bridge No. 42 was studied in detail. The replacement
structure will be constructed along a new roadway alignment. Improvements to the
approach roadways will be required for a distance of approximately 450 feet to the south
and 400 feet to the north of the new structure. The alternate will be designed with a
design speed of 45 miles per hour. A design exception for design speed and horizontal
stopping sight distance will be required. Traffic will be detoured offsite during the
construction period (see Figure 1).
NCDOT Guidelines for Evaluation of Offsite Detours for Bridge Replacement Proiects
considers multiple project variables beginning with the additional time traveled by the
average road user resulting from the offsite detour. The offsite detour for this project
would include SR 1163, SR 1351, and SR 1001. The majority of traffic on the road is
through traffic. The detour for the average road user would result in 7.0 minutes of
additional travel time (5.5 miles of additional travel). Up to a 12-month duration of
construction may be expected on this project.
Based on the guidelines, the criteria above indicate the preference of an offsite detour, but
now with stronger evaluation of other project variables. In this case, McDowell County
Emergency Services and McDowell County Schools Transportation have indicated that
an offsite detour is acceptable. NCDOT Division 13 concurs with the proposed offsite
detour and has indicated the conditions of all roads, bridges, and intersections on the
offsite detour are acceptable without improvements.
C. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Consideration
Replace-in-place with a similar structure was not considered as a culvert maybe
constructed in a shorter time period, and the culvert is a more cost-effective option.
The "do-nothing" alternative will eventually necessitate closure of the bridge. This is not
acceptable due to the traffic service provided by SR 1163.
"Rehabilitation" of the old bridge is not practical due to its age and deteriorated
condition. The wooden deck, the steel I-Beams, and the concrete substructure have all
deteriorated to a point where maintenance activities will be impractical and too costly for
repair and rehabilitation.

Staged Construction is not feasible for this bridge because the 19.1-foot deck width and
beam configuration will not support removal of a portion and maintenance of traffic on
the remaining portion.
An onsite detour is not feasible because there is an offsite detour is available and more
advantageous and has less impact on the environment.
IV. ESTIMATED COSTS
The estimated costs for the alternative is as follows:
Alternative
Structure $ 428,000
Roadway A roaches $ 341,000
Detour Structure and A roaches - 0 -
Structure Removal $ 16,000
Misc. & Mob. $ 164,000
Engineering & Contingencies $ 151,000
Total Construction Cost $ 1,100,000
Right-of--way Costs $ 83,000
Total Project Cost $ 1,183,000
V. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT
A. PHYSICAL RESOURCES
1. Water Resources
Under the federal system for cataloging drainage basins, the drainage basin containing the
project area is designated as USGS Hydrologic Unit 03050105 (the Upper Broad drainage
basin). Under the North Carolina DWQ system for cataloging drainage basins, the
drainage basin containing the project area is designated as Subbasin 03-08-02 (the Second
Broad River and tributaries and the Middle Broad River drainage basin).
The single water resource located in the project area, the Second Broad River, is
designated as DWQ Stream Index Number 9-41-(0.5). The Second Broad River in the
project vicinity has been assigned a primary water resource classification of "WS-V."
Class "WS-V" refers to waters that are protected as water supplies upstream and draining
4

to Class "WS-IV" waters. Class "WS-IV" waters are used for drinking water and
culinary purposes. There are no restrictions on watershed development or wastewater
discharges, and watershed protection by local governments is not required in "WS-V"
waters. No surface waters classified as High Quality Water (HQW), Water Supplies (WS-
I or WS-II), or Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) occur within 0.6 mile of the project
area.
To minimize potential impacts to water resources in and downstream of the project area,
NCDOT's Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters will be
strictly enforced during the construction phase of the project (NCDOT, 1997).
2. Biotic Resources
Four discernable terrestrial communities are located within the project area. Three of
these communities have been altered to the extent that they cannot be classified as a
natural community under the Classification of Natural Communities of North Carolina.
These altered communities consist of: (1) altered right-of--way communities, (2)
pastureland, and (3) successional sapling and scrub/shrub communities. One community
within the project area retains enough of its natural characteristics to be classified under
the Classification of Natural Communities of North Carolina. This natural community
consists of Montane Oak/Hickory Forest.
The aquatic community of the project area consists of the Second Broad River below the
ordinary high water line. As previously discussed, the Second Broad River ranges in
width from approximately 10 to 15 feet within the project area. The dominant aquatic
habitat within this section of the Second Broad River consists of cobble boulder and
bedrock substrate. The river within the project area is characterized by a moderately
well-defined riffle and run sequence with intervening cascades over bedrock ledges. The
riffles present are as wide as the river and extend at least twice the width of the river.
Pools are absent, except at the western boundary of the project area where a pool has been
formed by cattle incursions into the river. The riparian vegetation zone is less than 20
feet wide in the northwest quadrant of the project area and greater than 20 feet wide in all
other quadrants.

B. JURISDICTIONAL TOPICS.
The following sections provide an inventory of resource areas and species and an
assessment of possible impacts for (1) waters of the United States and (2) rare and
protected species. Waters of the United States and rare and protected species are of
particular significance when assessing impacts because of federal and state mandates that
regulate their protection. The following sections address those measures that will be
required in order to comply with regulatory permit conditions prior to project
construction.
1. Surface Waters and Wetlands
Temporarily flooded, broad-leaved deciduous, scrub-shrub, palustrine wetlands (PSS1A
of USFWS classification) have been mapped along the portion of the Second Broad River
within the project area under the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) program. Although
not contiguous or widespread within the project area, wetlands consist of small
communities of hydrophytic vegetation along portions of the stream bank. It is estimated
that 0.01 acre of wetlands exists within the project area.
The NWI map for the Sugar Hi117.5-minute quadrangle classifies the Second Broad
River approximately 2,000 feet downstream of the project area as a permanently flooded,
lower perennial riverine habitat with an unconsolidated bottom (R2UBH of USFWS
classification). Given the perennial nature of the Second Broad River within the project
area, it is assumed that this section of the Second Broad River has also been classified as
R2UBH. Ninety feet of waters of the United States exist within the project area.
2. Permits
Based on wetland field indicators observed at the time of field investigation, waters of the
United States, including wetlands, subject to regulation under section 404 of the Clean
Water Act and the North Carolina 401 Water Quality Certification program have been
delineated and mapped within the proposed project area. Impacts to jurisdictional surface
waters are anticipated to occur as a result of project construction. As a result, proposed
construction activities will require permits and certifications from the various state and
federal regulatory agencies in charge of protecting the water quality of public water
resources.

Generally, if non-tidal wetland impacts at each bridge crossing are less than 0.5 acres and
none of the activities jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered
species, or a species proposed for such designation, the action would be considered a
Class II Action as defined under FHWA regulation 23 CFR 771.115(b). As a Class II
Action, bridge rehabilitation, reconstruction, or replacement would qualify as a
Categorical Exclusion as defined under FHWA regulation 23 CFR 771.117.
As a categorically excluded Class II Action and a public linear transportation project in
non-tidal waters, bridge rehabilitation, reconstruction, or replacement impacting less than
0.5 acres of waters of the United States at a stream crossing could be authorized under the
provisions of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide 23 Permit for Categorical
Exclusions or a Nationwide 14 Permit for Linear Transportation Projects, respectively.
The proposed project is located in a designated "Trout" county; therefore, authorization
of the project by the ACOE under the provisions of a nationwide or individual permit is
conditional on concurrence of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC).
In addition, a 401 Water Quality Certification from the North Carolina Department of
Environmental and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality (DWQ) will be
required for the project prior to issuance of a Corps of Engineers Section 404 Permit. to
Section 401 Certification allows surface waters to be temporarily impacted for the
duration of the construction or other land disturbance. The issuance of a 401
Certification from DWQ is a prerequisite to issuance of a Section 404 permit.
The possibility exists that demolition materials (such as asphalt, concrete rubble, portions
of the deck timbers, etc.) could be inadvertently dropped into waters of the United States
during bridge demolition. Should this occur, such materials would be removed from
waters of the United States as soon as possible, where conditions allow. NCDOT will
adhere to Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition for the removal of Bridge
No. 42.

3. Federally Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classifications of endangered (E), threatened (T),
proposed endangered (PE), and proposed threatened (PT) are protected under the
provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended. As of 29 March 2006, the USFWS lists five federally protected species for
McDowell County (Table 2). A review of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program
(NHP) database of rare species and unique habitats indicates no occurrences of federally
protected species in the project area. No individual organisms, populations, or suitable
habitat for any of the species listed in Table 2 were observed within the project area at the
time of site investigation.

VI. HUMAN ENVIRONMENT
Section 106 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.
Historic Architecture
The Historic Preservation Office (HPO) reviewed the subject project and
determined that no surveys are required (see letter dated November 3, 2003)
Archaeology
The State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) reviewed the subject project.
There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area,
and no archaeological investigation needed to be conducted (see letter
dated September 7, 2005).
Community Impacts
No adverse impact on families or communities is anticipated. Right-of--way acquisition
will be limited. No relocatees are 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 area.
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 the construction of the project.
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 are no soils classified as prime, unique, or having state or local
importance in the areas being utilized by the project. Therefore, the project will not
involve the direct conversion of farmland acreage within these classifications.
The project will not have a disproportionately high and adverse human health and
environmental effect on any minority or low-income population.

Noise & Air Quality
This 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 for air
quality (1990 Clean Air Act Amendments and the National Environmental Policy Act)
and no additional reports are required.
VII. GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The project is expected to have an overall positive impact. Replacement of an inadequate
bridge will result in safer traffic operations.
The bridge replacement will not have an adverse effect on the quality of the human or
natural environment with the use of the current North Carolina Department of
Transportation standards and specifications.
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.
An examination of records at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, Division of Environmental Management, Groundwater Section and the North
Carolina Department of Human Resources, Solid Waste Management Section revealed no
underground storage tanks or hazardous waste sites in the project area.
McDowell County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program. There are no
practical alternatives to crossing the floodplain area. Any shift in alignment will result in
an impact area of about the same magnitude. The proposed project is not anticipated to
increase the level or extent of upstream flood potential.
VIII. COORDINATION & AGENCY COMMENTS
NCDOT has sought input from the following agencies as a part of the project
development: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NC Department of Environment and
Natural Resources, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, N.C Wildlife Resource Commission,
and the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office.
The N.C. Wildlife Resource Commission letter provided a request that they prefer any
replacement structure to be a spanning structure.
10

Response: At smaller stream crossings it is more economical to replace bridges with box
culverts. Culverts cost less than bridges, require less maintenance throughout their service
life than bridges, and last longer than bridges. Therefore, where appropriate NCDOT
prefers to use box culverts to replace bridges. As there are no protected resources at this
site, the proposed culvert will be designed according to current NCDOT design practices
which include such measures as buried box bottoms to facilitate fish passage, dry cell(s)
to allow wildlife passage, and placement to minimize channel widening and realignment.
The N.C. Division of Water Quality and The Army Corps of Engineers had no special
concerns.for this project.
IX. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
A letter was sent by the Location & Surveys Unit to all property owners affected directly
by this project. Property owners were invited to comment. No comments have been
received to date.
There is not a substantial controversy on social, economic, or environmental grounds
concerning this project.
X. CONCLUSION
On the basis of the above discussion, it is concluded that no substantial adverse
environmental impacts will result from implementation of the project. The project is
therefore considered to be a federal "Categorical Exclusion" due to its limited scope and
lack of substantial environmental consequences.
