WBS # 17BP.7.R.95 Dear Mr. Bailey and Mr. Wanucha, The North Carolina Department of Transportation is scheduled to replace Bridge #84 with a new bridge at the same location. I have included the Attachments G& L with a project description and a set of the project plans. A stormwater management plan is also attached. Please review this project for compliance by your Division. We plan to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required, please contact 7erry Parker at (336) 256-2063. Your early review and consideration will be appreciated. Sincerely, . .M. Mills, P.E.

The existing 20' long X 30' wide, three span, steel plank deck on I-beams supparted by timber caps, timber piles on concrete sills bridge is structurally deficient and will be replaced with a new, single span 90' L X 30' W, box beam, single span bridge just to the south of its existing location. The existing bridge will be utilized as the detour during construction due to the fact that the offsite detour was approximately 9 miles long on rural roads that could not handle the increased average daily traffic (ADT). Additionally, constructing an onsite temporary bridge would result in about the same amount of impact as shifting the bridge to the south. The project involves no wetland impacts (there are wetlands adjacent to the project but no wetlands within the project "`�"Nc�t��i�7g t�ona�3��-c�s'�._.

Zone 1 and 2,903 sq. ft. Zone 2) which are listed as "allowable" per the Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer Rules Table of Uses. There are no deck drains on the bridge; instead, stormwater runoff will be captured at a proposed drop inlet and discharged onto a riprap pad located outside Zone 2 at non-erosive velocities. The ditch in the southwest quadrant outlets to a wooded area and becomes diffuse flow approximately 40 feet before entering the riparian area. In the southeast corner, the stormwater flow through the ditchline is significant (Q10=4 cfs). NCDOT Hydraulic Unit requires that the ditch line be taken to the stream to prevent erosion. Per NCDOT BMP manual, Class B rip rap will be installed within the ditch to prevent erosion and promote infiltration to remove pollutants prior to stormwater reaching the surface water. All other stormwater is discharged into a relocated ditch at non- erosive velocities. There are utility relocations associated with this bridge replacement, and the impacts have been accounted for within the impacts associated with the bridge replacement (see attached plan). Robert Lepsic surveyed the stream within the project boundary for the presence of preferred habitat for the Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) and determined that moderate to low habitat existed, however, no mussels were observed during the March 16, 2016 site visit. Additionally, there are no NHP records of dwarf wedemussel occurring within 1 mile of the project site. Further, these findings were submitted to Gary Jordan with USFWS and he concurred with the "no effect" determination (see attached email). Habitat surveys for Michaux's Sumac and Smooth Coneflower were conducted on June 28, 2016 and determined that there is habitat for the named species, however, no specimens were present within the project area; therefore the biological conclusion is "No effect, Habitat present". The Bald Eagle is protected in every county in North Carolina under the Bald and Gold Eagle Protection Act; however, no suitable feeding/water source is located within one mile of the project study area to support Bald Eagle habitat. Also, Mr. Gary Jordan (USFWS) recently released the Programmatic Conference Opinion (PCO) for the recently listed Northern Long Eared Bat (NLEB). This opinion, states in part, that "...it is the Se��vice's conference opi�zion that NCDOT activities in eastern North Carolina (Divisions 1-8), as proposed, are ��ot likely to jeopardize the coiatinued existence of the NLEB.
