Dear Mr. Harris:
This letter is in response to your letter of February 15, 2006 which provided the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) with the biological determination of the North Carolina Department of Transportation'(NCDOT) that
the replacement of Bridge No. 102 on SR 1331 over Black Creek in Johnston County (TIP No. B-4560) may
affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the federally endangered dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta
heterodon) and Tar spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana). In addition, NCDOT has determined that the project
will have no effect on the federally endangered Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii) and red-cockaded
woodpecker (Picoides borealis). These comments are provided in accordance with section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).
According to information provided, a plant survey was conducted at the project site on August 24, 2004. No
specimens of Michaux's sumac were observed. Based on these survey results, the Service concurs that the
project will have no effect on Michaux's sumac. Also, due to the lack of habitat, the Service concurs that the
project will have no effect on the red-cockaded woodpecker.
According to information provided, a mussel survey was conducted at the project site on June 7, 2005. The
survey extended 100 meters upstream and 400 meters downstream of SR 1331. Neither of the federally listed
species was found, and neither species has ever been known to occur within Black Creek. Based on the mussel
survey results, the Service concurs with your determination that the proposed bridge replacement may affect,
but is not likely to adversely affect the dwarf wedgemussel and Tar spinymussel. We believe that the
requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the ESA have been satisfied. We remind you that obligations under section
7 consultation must be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may
affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered in this review; (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or (3) a new species is listed or
critical habitat determined that may be affected by this identified action.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to review this project. If you have any questions regarding our
response, please contact Mr. Gary Jordan at (919) 85 520_(Ext. 32).

MEMORANDUM
TO: Joel Johnson, NCDOT Project Development Engineer
FROM: Nicole Thomson, NC Division of Water Quality, Transportation Permitting Uni$? ,
SUBJECT: Scoping Review of NCDOT's proposed bridge replacement projects: B-4658, B-4504, B-
4560, and B-4671
In reply to your correspondence dated April 29, 2004 (received May 6, 2004) in which you requested
comments for the referenced projects, the NC Division of Water Quality has the following comments:
--- Protect-Specific Comments
B-4658 Bridize No. 345 over Buckhorn Creek, Wake Co.
Buckhorn Creek are class B waters of the State. DWQ is very concerned with-sedimentation and erosion
impacts that could result from this project. NC DOT should address these concerns by describing the
potential impacts that may occur to the aquatic environments and any mitigating factors that would reduce
the impacts.
x=4504 Bridize No. 52 over Deep Creek, Ed-ecombe Co.
Deep Creek are class WS-IV; NSW waters of the State. DWQ is very concerned with sedimentation and
erosion impacts that could result from this project. DWQ recommends that highly protective
sedimentation and erosion control BMPs be implemented to reduce the risk of sediment runoff to Deep
Creek. Storm water should be transported through vegetated conveyance to the greatest extent
practicable. Because Deep Creek are nutrient sensitive waters, any required engineered storm water
controls are required to be constructed wetlands, bio-retention areas, or grassed swales. Refer to 15A
NCAC 2B .0216(3)(b)(ii) and 2B .0258.
.-8=4560 Bridke No. 102 over Black Creek, Johnston Co.
Black Creek are class C; NSW waters of the State. DWQ is very concerned with sedimentation and
erosion impacts that could result from this project. DWQ recommends that highly protective
sedimentation and erosion control BMPs be implemented to reduce the risk of nutrient runoff to Black
Creek. DWQ requests that road design plans provide treatment of the storm water runoff through best
management practices as detailed in. Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters.
Refer to 15A NCAC 2B .0224(2) and 15A NCAC 2H. 1006.
,-B-4671 Bridre No. 35 over Exum Mill Branch, Wayne Co.
Exum Mill Branch are class C; Sw; NSW waters of the State. DWQ is very concerned with
sedimentation and erosion impacts that could result from this project. DWQ recommends that highly
protective sedimentation and erosion control BMPs be implemented to reduce the risk of nutrient runoff
to Exum Mill Branch. DWQ requests that road design plans provide treatment of the storm water runoff
through best management practices as detailed in Best Management Practices for the Protection of
Surface Waters. Refer to 15A NCAC 2B .0224(2) and 15A NCAC 2H. 1006.

Division of Water Quality
11. General Comments ReizardinQ Bridge Replacement Proiects
1. If corrugated metal pipe arches, reinforced concrete pipes, or concrete box culverts are used to replace
the bridge, then DWQ recommends the use of Nationwide Permit No. 14 rather than Nationwide
Permit 23.
2. If the old bridge is removed, no discharge of bridge material into surface waters is preferred. Strict
adherence the Corps of Engineers guidelines for bridge demolition will be a condition of the 401
Water Quality Certification.
3. DWQ prefers spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require work within the stream
and do not require stream channel realignment. The horizontal and vertical clearances provided by
bridges allows for human and wildlife passage beneath the structure, does not block fish passage, and
does not block navigation by canoeists and boaters.
4. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the stream; stormwater should be directed
across the bridge and pre-treated through site-appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-formed scour
holes, vegetated buffers, etc.) before-entering the. stream. '..Please refer to NCDOT Best Management
Practices for the Protection of Surface- Waters
5. Live concrete should not be allowed to contact the water in or entering into the stream. Concrete is
mostly made up of lime (calcium carbonate) and when in a dry or wet state (not hardened) calcium
carbonate is very soluble in water and has a pH of approximately 12. In an unhardened state concrete
or cement will change the pH of fresh water to very basic and will cause fish and other
macroinvertebrate kills.
6. If possible, bridge supports (bents) should not be placed in the stream.
7. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, they should be removed back to original ground
elevations immediately upon the completion of the project. Disturbed areas should be seeded or
mulched to stabilize the soil and native tree species should be planted with a spacing of not more than
10'x10'. If possible, when using temporary structures the area should be cleared but not grubbed.
Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized equipment and leaving
the stumps and root mat intact, allows the area to re-vegetate naturally and minimizes disturbed soil.
8. A clear bank (rip rap-free) area of at least 10 feet should remain on each side of the steam underneath
the bridge.
9. Sedimentation and erosion control measures sufficient to protect water resources must be
implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities. Structures should be maintained regularly,
especially following rainfall events.
10. Bare soil should be stabilized through vegetation or other means as quickly as feasible to prevent
sedimentation of water resources.
11. All work in or adjacent to stream waters should be conducted in a dry work area. Sandbags, rock
berms, cofferdams, or other diversion structures should be used where possible to prevent excavation
in flowing water.

12. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in stream channels in order to
minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into streams. This
equipment should be inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters=from
leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
III. General Comments if Replacinz the Bridge with a Culvert
1. The culvert must be designed to allow for aquatic life and fish passage. Generally, the culvert or pipe
invert should be buried at least 1 foot below the natural streambed (measured from the natural
thalweg depth). If multiple barrels are required, barrels other than the base flow barrel(s) should be
placed on or near stream bankfull or floodplain bench elevation (similar to Lyonsfield design). These
should be reconnected to floodplain benches as appropriate. This may be accomplished by utilizing
sills on the upstream end to restrict or divert flow to the base flow barrel(s). Sufficient water depth
should be provided in the base flow barrel during low flows to accommodate fish movement. If
culverts are longer than 40-50 linear feet, alternating or notched baffles should be installed in a
manner that mimics existing stream pattern. This should enhance aquatic life passage: 1) by
depositing sediments in the barrel, 2) by maintaining channel depth and flow regimes, and 3) by
providing resting places for fish and other aquatic organisms. In essence, the base flow barrel(s)
should provide. aicontinuum of water depth and channel width without substantial modifications of
velocity.
2. If multiple pipes or cells are used, at least one pipe or box should be designed to remain dry during
normal flows to allow for wildlife passage.
3. Culverts or pipes should be situated along the existing channel alignment whenever possible to avoid
channel realignment. Widening the stream channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at
the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water velocity causing sediment deposition that
requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
4. Riprap should not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that
precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be professionally
designed, sized, and installed.
In most cases, we prefer the replacement of the existing structure at the same location with road closure.
If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour should be designed and located to avoid wetland
impacts, minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing stream banks. If the structure will be
on a new alignment, the old structure should be removed and the approach fills removed from the 100-
year floodplain. Approach fills should be removed down to the natural ground elevation. The area
should be stabilized with grass and planted with native tree species. Tall fescue should not be used in
riparian areas. If the area that is reclaimed was previously wetlands, NCDOT should restore the area to
wetlands. If successful, the site may be used as wetland mitigation for the subject project or other
projects.in the watershed.

Thank you for requesting our input at this time. The DOT is reminded that issuance of a 401 Water
Quality Certification requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water quality
standards are met and designated uses are not degraded or lost. If you have any questions or require
additional information, please contact Nicole Thomson 919-715-3415.
