Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:* 3a. Describe the epsting conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The Lindsey Bridge Dam (LBD) was constructed in 1972; it is a low head, appropmately T, curvilinear sheet pile dam that is in disrepair and is a safety hazard to people and recreational users on the Dan River. The dam is also a barrier to fish passage. The dam and impoundment are the primary water supply for the Town of Madison. The adjacent areas surrounding the dam include farmland to the south and the industrial brick manufacturer, Pine Hall Brick to the north. An active freight railroad traverses the Pine Hall Brick property bordering the project area. Just downstream of the LBD significant streambank erosion and washout occurs at high flows. The streambanks are bare, unstable, and over -steepened. Upstream of the dam, within the impoundment area, the river bed substrate is homogeneous with few riffle features. The Upper Dan River contains substantial intact suitable habitat for the Roanoke Logperch; however, at this time the fish are unable to pass the LBD. 4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?* t^ Yes r No r Unknown 4d.

List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 20.6 4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property: 15,919 4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:* The purpose of this project is to provide a passage for an endangered species and improve aquatic habitat along this reach of river. The completed project will also provide multiple benefits for other aquatic species and improve stability of river banks. 41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:* This project is a collaboration between the Piedmont Conservation Council, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, and the Town of Madison. The project seeks to be constructed in two phases. Phase 1, will take place upstream of the dam, within the dam's impoundment, 3 constructed riffles are proposed. The constructed riffles will improve habitat for the endangered Roanoke Logperch and increase the likelihood of safe passage through the impoundment to suitable habitat in the Upper Dan River. This phase is 1.0 Ac and will be constructed by offloading stone along the stream bank and using a track excavator to place stone directly in the river and construct the proposed riffle. See Madison Fish Habitat Restoration Project - Phase 1 construction documents. Phase 2, at the Lindsey Bridge Dam and appropmately 90OLF downstream, includes the fish passage structure which will create a pathway for the endangered Roanoke Logperch to travel upstream of the existing Lindsey Bridge Dam on the Dan River. Seven boulder and stone weirs will be constructed in the Dan River to create the fish passage features. These nature -like structures will improve hydraulics in the area and enable the movement offish species upstream. Structures will be constructed using boulders transported from an off -site quarry and temporarily stockpiled in designated upland areas before being assembled in the river. This phase is 5.6 Ac and will be constructed using track excavators, bull dozers, and off -road trucks to stockpile, stage, and construct these features. See Madison Fish Habitat Restoration Project- Phase 2 construction documents. 4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

Comments: This preliminary jurisdictional determination (PJD) was completed through a desktop GIS analysis, utilizing all available forms of data to determine the potential extent of existing wetlands within the site vicinity. Through a PJD, all features that may be wetlands are assumed to be wetlands for jurisdictional purposes. Future field delineation of wetland areas may reveal some portions assumed to be wetlands based on NWI data do not exhibit appropriate soils, vegetation, or hydrology to be considered jurisdictional wetlands or alternatively areas not assumed to be wetlands do exhibit wetland characteristics. At the time these data become available, an amendment to the wetland impacts may be requested along with the submission of wetland delineation data sheets. 3. Stream Impacts 3a.

The areas will be temporarily disturbed as machines place stone on the bottom of the dam impoundment to build the riffles. E. Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: The goal of this project is to improve aquatic habitats for endangered species and provide for safer recreational use. Extensive hydraulic modeling was conducted to design instream structures that make biological sense for the Roanoke Logperch. The velocities produced will be suitable for logperch passage while minimizing material use and surface impacts within the channel. Design consideration was made to limit unnecessary impacts in the upland areas associated with stockpiles, staging, and material handling; however, due to the project goals impacts to the stream are necessary to achieve functional uplift in this area. Additionally, to stabilize eroding river banks and reduce future sediment export bank sloping and reconstruction is required in several areas. This will result in minimal impacts to adjacent wetland areas where no alternative was available. In the long term, these efforts will result in more stable and healthy riparian areas. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Where possible pumps and diversion will be used to work in the dry. Furthermore, construction will occur during the annual lowwater months. Efforts will be made to work when weather is favorable and to stabilize and limit work onsite and in -channel if inclement weather is forecast or expected. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State? r Yes r No 2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why: Wetland impacts are perceived to be minimal at 0.1 Ac and will provide much greater benefits in functional uplift for the aquatic and riparian environments. F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) u 1. Diffuse Flow Plan 1a.

Sincerely, Ramona Bartos, Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office’s Project Review Project Name: Madison Fish Habitat Restoration Project Phase 2 Project Location: • 1.5 miles southwest of Madison, NC in Rockingham County • 642 Lindsey Bridge Rd, Madison NC • Latitude = 36.3751, Longitude = -79.9936 Project Contact Information • Kris Bass • Kris Bass Engineering • 7334 Chapel Hill Rd, Ste 104 • Phone: 919.960.1552; Email: kbass@kbeng.org Project Description The Madison Fish Habitat Restoration Project Phase 2 will create a pathway for small fish, such as the endangered Roanoke logperch, to travel upstream of the existing Lindsey Bridge Dam on the Dan River. This dam, constructed in 1972, is in disrepair and is a barrier to fish passage as well as a safety hazard to recreational users of the Dan. Seven weirs will be constructed in the Dan River to create a whitewater kayak park and fish passage. These boat and fish passages, in addition to partial removal of the dam, will improve the safety of the area and enable the movement of fish species upstream. Each of the seven weirs will span the width of the river and include separate passages for fish and small boats such as kayaks. There are three openings in each weir – two designed for fish and one for boats. Each opening is roughly 20 feet wide, for a total width of 60 feet. Deeper pools are located between each weir and are approximately 100 feet in length. Structures will be constructed using boulders transported from an off-site quarry and temporarily stockpiled in designated areas before being assembled in the river. In addition to the weirs, a center section of the dam will be lowered by approximately 2 feet. During weir installation, currently eroding banks will be regraded and stabilized with native plantings. The project area is approximately 3.5 acres along the Dan River, from slightly upstream of the Lindsey Bridge Dam to about 450 feet downstream of Lindsey Bridge Road. The disturbed area is primarily the river bed, but includes some land on either side of the river channel. Dimensions of disturbed area are approximately 900 feet in length and 150 feet in width. The reach of river is bordered by farmland to the south and an industrial brick manufacturing plan t to the north. No historic buildings or structures occur on the project site. The Pine Hall Brick Plant 3A parcel, which contains one or more historic buildings, is adjacent to the northern boundary of the project area, located on the opposite side of the railroad tracks. Portions of the Pine Hall Brick Plant 3A facility were constructed in 1947 and are more than 50 years old. An evaluation of the facility’s eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places was completed in 2016 in relation to the proposed replacement of Lindsey Bridge, but a final determination of the facility’s status on the Register does not appear to have been made. The Madison Fish Habitat Restoration Phase 2 Project has received funding and assistance from multiple agencies, including grants from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources and the Clean Water Management Trust fund and is being completed with assistance from the US F ish and Wildlife Service, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and the Town of Madison. Nationwide Permit 27 and Section 404 Permits are sought from the US Army Corps of Engineers. Site Photographs Photo 1. Lindsey Bridge Dam facing upstream. Photo 2.
