Re: Permit Application & Public Notice for the US 64 relocation between Murphy and Peachtree,
Cherokee County, T.I.P. No. U-0977A
Dear Mr. Lund:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed the public notice for the proposed project. After reviewing our files
and discussing the project with our regional office, we are concerned with the large amount of impacts to streams
(8325 linear feet) and that appropriate avoidance and minimization has not occurred for this project.
Consequently, pursuant to 15A NCAC 211.0507(a)(3), we are placing the processing of the 401 Water Quality
Certification on hold until we can verify the project's impacts have been minimized to the maximum extent
practicable. Furthermore, until we are able to verify appropriate minimization as occurred, we respectfully
request (by copy of this letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers place the permit application on hold, as well.
It should be noted that the DWQ is not necessarily opposed to the project in its present form, rather that more
information be provided so that we may feel comfortable in approving the permit.
Hopefully, we can all work together to expedite the processing of the permit application. If you have any
questions or require additional information, please contact either myself of John Hennessy at 919-733-1786.
cerely,

PUBLIC NOTICE
The North Carolina Department of Transportation, ATTN: Mr. William D. Gilmore,
Manager, Project Development and Environmental Analysis Branch, Post Office Box 25201,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-5201 has applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit TO
DISCHARGE DREDGED OR FILL MATERIAL INTO APPROXIMATELY 8325 LINEAR
FEET OF STREAM CHANNEL AND 0.67 ACRES OF WETLANDS ADJACENT TO THE
HIWASSEE RIVER, MARTIN CREEK, HAMPTON CREEK, McCOMB BRANCH AND
UNNAMED TRIBUTARIES TO FACILITATE THE RELOCATION OF A 4.9-MILE LONG
SECTION OF US HIGHWAY 64 BETWEEN MURPHY AND PEACHTREE, CHEROKEE
COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA (TIP NO.R-0977A).
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the applicant and from
observations made during an onsite visit by a representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans
submitted with the application show the proposed construction of a new two-lane road on four-lane
right-of-way relocating US 64 to a location south of the existing highway. The proposed right-of-
way varies in width from 170 to 500 feet depending on terrain. Rural sections of the 4.9-mile long
project would have a 46-foot wide median. Two new bridges would be constructed spanning the
Hiwassee River, one at the west end of the project near Murphy and the other near the eastern end
of the project at Peachtree. Temporary construction and access fills within the Hiwassee River are
proposed to facilitate bridge construction. Approximately 0.9 acres of temporary rock fill would be
required at the west bridge and 0.2 acres required at the east bridge. Six small herbaceous marsh and
scrub shrub wetlands ranging in size from 0.02 to 0.27 acres would be impacted by the proposed
construction. A total of 0.67 acres of wetlands would be eliminated by the proposed construction.
The project would also result in the loss of 8325 linear feet of stream channel from pipe and culvert
installation, 7512 linear feet of which has important aquatic function. These stream channels range
in size from unnamed tributaries to the. Hiwassee River which are 2-3 feet wide and less than 6
inches deep, to Martin Creek which is 20-30 feet wide and in excess of 2 feet deep in places. Most
of the streams have perennial flow and a substrate of sand, gravel, and cobble. The fisheries are
characterized as cool water including northern hog sucker, rock bass, smallmouth bass, redbreast
sunfish, greenside darter and various species of dace, chub and shiner. Martin Creek would flow
under the proposed roadway through an I Ix 12-foot, triple box culvert.. This proposed crossing
would result in the filling of 767 linear feet of stream channel. A double, 8x8-foot box culvert would
be installed at the crossing of Hampton Creek, resulting in the loss of 971 linear feet of channel. At
Site No. 11 on an unnamed tributary to the Hiwassee River, the proposed roadway crossing and
2
resultant relocation of a secondary road would result in 2001 linear feet of channel piping and 1761
linear feet of channel relocation. The proposed crossing of McComb Branch would result in 1056
feet of channel loss from piping. There would be a net loss of 5751 linear feet of functional stream
channel as a result of the proposed work. The applicant is currently proposing to mitigate for these
stream losses by contributing to the North Carolina Wetland Restoration Program (WRP). The WRP
has identified potential stream restoration sites on Shooting Creek and Junaluska Creek within the
Hiwassee River Watershed. An Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed work was
approved by the Federal Highway Administration on July 29, 1994. The purpose of the proposed
work is to provide a safer road facility with provisions for additional capacity as traffic volumes
grow. US Highway 64 serves as an important connector route between Murphy and the Peachtree
and Brasstown areas. Plans showing the proposed work are included with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the
applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the Army (DA) permit will
be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by
this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (NCDENR) has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as
required by PL 92-500. The Tennessee Valley Authority will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain an authorization under Section 26a of the Tennessee Valley
Authority Act of 1933.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33
U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment period specified in this
notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall
state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of
Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as being
eligible for inclusion therein, and this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being
eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the extent
of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the
presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that the proposed activity
will affect species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the
Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts,
including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public interest.
Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest
requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular case. The
benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against
its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the
3
conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern for both protection and
utilization of important resources. All factors which may be relevant to the proposal must be
considered including the cumulative effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics,
aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood
hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation,
shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs,
safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in
general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the placement of dredged or
fill materials in waters of the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be
authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1)
guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a
permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public
interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local
agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate
the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of
Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To
make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties,
water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed above.
Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
Comments are also used to determine the need fora public hearing and to determine the overall
public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA) permit will not be
made until the North Carolina Division of Waxer Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives State
certification required by Section 401 of the CleanWater Act. The NCDWQ considers whether or
not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the Clean Water Act.
The application and this public notice for the Department of the Army (DA) permit serves as
application to the NCDEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the
offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ), 4401 Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27607. Copies of such materials will
be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean Water Act
certification should do so in writing delivered to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ), 4401 Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27607, on or before
April 12,1999, Attention: Mr. John Dorney.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will be received in this
office, Attention: Mr. Steven Lund, until 4:15 p.m., April 23, 1999, or telephone
[phone].

Mr. John Dorney F?G,o

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of the North Carolina Department of Transportation for
Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to discharge
dredged or fill material into approximately 8325 linear feet of stream channel and 0.67 acres of
wetlands adjacent to the Hiwassee River, Martin Creek, Hampton Creek, McComb Branch and
unnamed tributaries to facilitate the relocation of a 4.9-mile long section of US Highway 64
between Murphy and Peachtree, Cherokee County, North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter
verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in accordance with Section
325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality certification is required under the
provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted
until the certification has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days after receipt of a
request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on
the request, or asked for an extension of time, by May 31, 1999, the District Engineer will deem
that waiver has occurred.

Dear Sir:

E. NORRis TOLSON
SECRETARY
Subject: Cherokee County, U.S. 64 Relocation from US 19-74-129 in Murphy
to east of NC 141 in Peachtree; TIP No. R-0977A; State Project
No. 8.1910203; Federal Aid Project No. FR-14-1 (1).
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to construct a new two-lane
facility on four-lane right-of-way (ROW) south of the Hiwassee River. A 46-foot median
is proposed for the ultimate rural typical section. Bridges will be constructed across the
Hiwassee River at two locations. The proposed project is approximately 4.9 miles in
length, and the proposed ROW varies in width between 170 and 500 feet, due to the
mountainous terrain. Partial control of access is proposed with a minimum of one access
point per parcel. Traffic will be maintained during construction on the existing roadway
which will remain open to serve local traffic after construction.
Existing US 64 is currently a two-lane facility connecting the town of Murphy and the
Peachtree community. Existing= ROW varies from 60 to 100-feet providing a 20 to
24-foot pavement section with some areas not containing a shoulder section. There is no
control of access. Existing horizontal and vertical alignments are substandard with the
horizontal alignment including 1 1 curves over four degrees, one of which is a twenty
degree curve at Racetrack Bend. Additionally, there are seven- percent grades in the
vicinity of Racetrack Bend. The substandard geometry reduces operating speeds and
highway capacity. Passing sight distances are restricted in 89 percent ofthe length of the
highway with few areas to pass Or pull oft the road. This has resulted in a hazardous
stretch of highway with sharp curves, steep grades and poor sight distances. The accident
rate in the project vicinity is 12 petc;:nt higher- than the statewide average. The
Ank
2
community of Peachtree also contains a hospital and a community college. The proposed
improvements will provide a safer access to the hospital and to Tri-County Community
College with provisions for additional future capacity as traffic volumes grow.
The environmental impacts, including the alternative selection process, were evaluated in
an Environmental Assessment dated July 28, 1994 and a Finding of No Significant
Impact (FONSI) dated February 28, 1995. These documents contain studies that
investigated impacts to natural systems and protected species. No Threatened or
Endangered Species will be impacted by the proposed project. However, one Endangered
freshwater mussel species, the little wing pearly mussel (Pegias fabula) is listed for
Cherokee County. Intensive field surveys were conducted for this species along areas of
the Hiwassee River and its tributaries that may be affected by the proposed project on
May 26-27, 1998. Representatives from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC), and NCDOT were in
atter,Zance. A copy of the WRC report on these surveys will be forwarded as soon as it
becomes available.
Wetland delineations were performed by NCDOT biologists on January 30-31, 1997
using delineation criteria prescribed in the "Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation
Manual" (Environmental Laboratory, 1987). Their report is included for reference.
Construction of the proposed project will require impacts to waters of the United States,
including both jurisdictional wetlands and surface waters. Wetlands will be impacted by
the placement of fill as well as excavation. Surface waters will primarily be impacted by
the construction of new pipes and culverts at stream crossings as well as channel
relocation. The NCDOT has attempted to minimize impacts to waters of the United
States wherever practical. During the right-of-way consultation phase, several
environmental commitments were made to ensure that impacts to waters were minimized.
At the crossing of Martin Branch Creek rock plating was used upstream of the inlet of the
proposed culvert to eliminate 624.0 feet of channel change. Bridge piers at the two
crossings of the Hiwassee River will be oriented approximately parallel to the stream
flow to minimize disturbance of flow. Maximum span lengths were used in the design of
the crossings in order to have as few bents as possible located in the channel. Culverts at
both Martin Branch Creek and Hampton Creek were oversized by 0.3 meters to allow for
stockpiled bed material to be placed on the floor of the culverts.
Additionally, a temporary work pad will be required for the construction of the bridges
over the Hiwassee River. The work pad on the eastern end of the project will require 0.96
acre of temporary fill be placed in the Hiwassee River, and 0.17 acres of temporary
impact will occur at the second crossing on the western end of the project. The
causeways will be removed with minimum disturbance to the sti-eambed as soon as
construction is complete.
We are providing one copy of the full-size roadway plans to the Asheville regulatory field
office for their review. The department has also prepared permit drawings, which depict
the impact areas. The enclosed permit drawings include a summary of the project impacts
3
in metric units. Table I summarizes impacts to waters of the United States by site
number, wetland impacts, and surface water impacts in English units.

The NCDOT proposes to purchase credits from the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality Wetland Restoration Program in lieu of providing a mitigation plan. Currently,
this is one of only two projects in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the
Hiwassee River basin that are anticipated to require compensatory mitigation. The other
project is TIP number A-0009. Only about 5 miles of one section is within the Hiwassee
River basin. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2004, but could be delayed.
The ultimate construction of two additional lanes of R-0977 is the only other project in
the foreseeable future, but it is currently unscheduled. NCDOT feels that this project
provides an ideal situation to make use of in lieu payments. The Hiwassee River basin is
isolated in the extreme western part of the state, covering only parts of Cherokee and
Clay Counties. Due to the singular nature of mitigation needs in this basin, the process of
searching the basin for suitable mitigation sites, evaluating the sites for success potential,
acquiring the sites, and creating and implementing a mitigation plan would be costly and
time-consuming. It would be more efficient to allow the WRP to incorporate mitigation
for this project into their restoration plans for the Hiwassee River Basin.
In summary, impacts to waters of the United States total 0.67 acres of jurisdictional
wetlands and 8,325 linear feet of stream due to roadway fill, pipes and culverts. Enclosed
is a completed notification form and drawings that depict impacts to waters of the United
States. Based on the discussed impacts to waters of the United States, the department
requests authorization under a Section 404 Individual Permit to construct the project. By
copy of this letter and application, the department also requests that the DWQ review this
project for 401 Water Quality Certification.
Thank you for you assistance. If you have any questions or need additional information,
please contact Mr. Lindsey Riddick at [phone], extension 315.
Sincerely,

Subject: US 64 Relocation in Cherokee County
TIP Project #: R-0977A
A; PRESTON HOWARD,
Cherokee County

DIRECTOR- The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North
Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) is willing to accept
payment from the North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) for wetland and stream impacts associated with the subject
project in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding
between the NCWRP and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The NCWRP is in the process of developing comprehensive watershed
restoration plans for portions of cataloguing unit 06020002 of the
Hiawassee River Basin. These plans are being developed in
Y
?i cooperation with the Clay County Soil and Water Conservation
District, Cherokee County Soil and Water Conservation District,
Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Hiawassee River
l Watershed Coalition.
As indicated by the attached letters from the Clay County Soil
- and Water Conservation District and the Natural Resources
Conservation Service, approximately 10,000 linear feet of stream in
need of restoration have been identified. In addition, eight to ten acres
of potential wetland restoration have been identified. The stream
restoration projects will involve stabilization and reconfiguration of the
existing stream channel with the goal or re-establishing the natural
stream geomorphology and the establishment of a vegetated buffer
adjacent to the stream. The NCWRP will continue to work with these
parties to identify and implement additional stream and wetland
restoration projects in accordance with the watershed restoration plan.

Dear Colonel Youngbluth, Mr. Dorney, and Mr. Gilmore:
Subject: Construction of Improvements to US 64 on a New Location in Cherokee County, North
Carolina (T.I.P. No. R-0977A; Action ID No. 199930528)
This is the report of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Department of the Interior with
regard to a public notice dated March 26, 1999, for a permit application subm.itteci. by the North
_
Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), Project Development and Environmental
Analysis Branch, to impact waters of the United States in conjunction with the construction of
improvements to US 64 on a new location, from Peachtree to near Murphy, in Cherokee County,
North Carolina. This report is based on a site visit, a review of information in the public notice,
and the July 1994 document entitled "Environmental assessment for U.S. 64 relocation from
U.S. 19 in Murphy to east of NC 141, Cherokee County, North Carolina." This report is
submitted in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e), and the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531-1543) (Act).
Protected species
The public notice indicates that the District Engineer determined that the proposed project will
not affect threatened or endangered species or critical habitat. In our August 7, 1990, letter, in
which we responded to a scoping notice, we indicated that we had no records of federally listed
or proposed species within the action area. However, we also noted in that letter that obligations
under Section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if new information reveals potential impacts not
previously considered or if new species are listed. Since our letter of concurrence in 1990, new
species have been listed and new information is available about potential impacts not previously
considered.
The environmental assessment (page 3-36 and Table 3-10) considered nine candidate species
known at the time from Cherokee County. The environmental assessment did note that there
appeared to be appropriate habitat. for the knotty rocksnail (formerly known as the knotty elimia),
Hiwassee crayfish, olive darter, and hellbender.
1 4- ly proteCted, hdangered and threatened
The enclosed pages provide are updated list of federal
species known from Cherokee County that may occur within the area of influence of this
proposed action. These pages also contain a list of species of Federal concern that are currently
under status review by the Service and which may occur in the project impact area. Species of
Federal concern are not legally protected under the Act and are not subject to any of its
provisions, including Section 7, unless they are formally proposed or listed as endangered or
threatened. We are including these species in our response to give advance notification. We do
have records of several of these species within the project area. In terms of aquatic fauna in the
project area, there is significant new information available since preparation of the environmental
assessment.
1. During a visit to the Hiwassee RiverBrasstown Creek area on May 27, 1998,
our staff, NCDOT biologists, and North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission staff observed a number of aquatic species in the project area.
The mussel fauna of the Hiwassee River, in the project area, includes the
mountain creekshell (Villosa vanuxemensis), spike (Elliptio dilatata), another
Elliptio species, wavy-rayed lampmussel (Lampsilis fasciola), Tennessee
clubshell (Pleurobema oviforme), and rainbow mussel (Villosa iris). They
also observed the sicklefin redhorse (Moxostoma sp.), a species of Federal
concern, in the Hiwassee River and Martins Creek, .xr? ere it is reported .0
spawn. A status survey should be completed in the summer of 1999;
preliminary indications are that this species appears to be a candidate for
Federal listing. The hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleghanensis), a large
aquatic salamander and a species of Federal concern, was observed foraging
in the Hiwassee River.
2. The Hiwassee crayfish (Cambarus hiwasseenis) has been found in Martins
Creek. The type locality for this species is an unnamed tributary to Peachtree
Creek. On August 6, 1998, our staff located what we have identified as the
knotty rocksnail (Lithasia christyi) and possibly the smooth rocksnail
(Leptoxis virgata), both species of Federal concern, in the Valley River in
Murphy.

3. We have records of the endangered Cumberland bean (Villosa trabalis) and
tan riffleshell (Epioblasma walkeri) in the Hiwassee River in Tennessee just
downstream of Apalachia Lake. There are historic records of the littlewing
pearlymussel (Pegius fabula) in the Valley River. The endangered
Appalachian elktoe (Alasmidonta raveneliana) has been found in similar
habitat in other areas of the Tennessee River basin, often in association with
several of the mussel species found last year in the Hiwassee River. There
appears to be suitable habitat for the threatened spotfin chub (Hybopsis
monacha) in the project area. This fish has been overlooked before in areas
where it is relatively abundant and is known from drainages all around the
Hiwassee River. There is a rather diverse mussel and fish assemblage in the
Hiwassee River, and the habitat appears suitable for any of these listed
species. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to expect that these species could
occur in the Hiwassee River within the project area.
Based on the information provided in the environmental assessment and a review of our records
and site visits, we can no longer agree that the project will have no effect on federally listed
species. We are particularly concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action could
have on listed or proposed endangered or threatened species and on stream and wetland
ecosystems within the project impact area. We recommend surveys for all the species (aquatic
and terrestrial) on our list of known species, as well as those mentioned above as being likely to
occur, for which suitable habitat exists.
Section 7(a) of the Act requires Federal agencies to evaluate their actions with respect to any
species that is proposed or listed as endangered or threatened and with respect to critical habitat
if any is designated. Regulations implementing this interagency cooperation provision of the Act
are codified at 50 CFR Part 402. Section 7(a)(2) of the Act requires Federal agencies to ensure
that activities they authorize, fund, or carry out are not likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of a listed species or to destroy or adversely modify its critical habitat. If a Federal
action may affect a listed species or its critical habitat, the responsible Federal agency must enter
into formal consultation with the Service.
Wetland and stream impacts
In our review of any subsequent permit applications for this project, we will likely recommend
the following conditions: (1) proper sequencing should be followed that would permit only the
most necessary wetland and stream impacts, (2) a mitigation plan should be developed for any
unavoidable impacts, (3) temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on
all bare soil within 15 days of any ground-disturbing activities in order to prevent soil erosion,
and (4) a vegetated buffer (deep-rooted woody species) of at least 25 feet should be maintained
along all stream banks.
Minimization. Since most of the jurisdictional wetlands and most of the streams within the
proposed project site are potentially affected, either directly by filling or with culverts or
3
indirectly by the removal of stream-side vegetation, there does not appear to have been sufficient
consideration for avoiding or minimizing impacts to streams and wetlands within the project
area. With the current design of two lanes on a four-lane right-of-way, it appears that the
proposed impacts have not been minimized and impacts to some stream channel segments are not
necessary.
Inappropriate mitigation. Although we support the efforts of the North Carolina Wetlands
Restoration Program, we believe that, after proper sequencing, ample opportunities will be
discovered to offset the unavoidable impacts to wetlands and streams within or adjacent to the
project boundaries. Additionally, we recommend the removal of culverts and restoration of the
associated stream channel at old road crossings where feasible. Will the existing facility be
abandoned after completion of the proposed improvements?
Recommended mitigation for unavoidable impacts. We favor on-site, in-kind mitigation for
unavoidable impacts to streams and wetlands. If adequate mitigation potential is unavailable on
site, we recommend all mitigation be accomplished within the same, or adjacent, subbasins as the
proposed impacts. We have observed opportunities for stream-bank restoration and protection
on Martins and Hampton Creeks, several unnamed tributaries, and the Hiwassee River. Because
of the level of impact proposed, we recommend that mitigation for stream impacts, focusing on
riparian restoration, be accomplished at a ratio of at least 2:1. Following are additional
mitigation recommendations we recommend for any stream mitigation developed for
unavoidable impacts associated with this project:
Riparian vegetation should include native woody species, such as alder (Alnus
spp.), rhododendron, leucothoe, and dogwood, as well as sedges, grasses, and
rushes. Exotic vegetation should be screened from any plant material. Large
woody species will provide thermal cover as well as deep bank-stabilizing
root systems along the constructed stream channel.
2. Stream channel construction and vegetation establishment should take place
prior to the diversion of water into the new channel. Sequential construction
of segments and temporary pipe diversions can be utilized to ensure channel
stability. We would like to have an opportunity to inspect stream segments
for stability prior to the water diversion.
3. Stream channel design should mimic slope, riffle slope, pool slope, valley
slope, meander geometry, sinuosity, cross-sectional dimensions,
entrenchment ratio, bed material (pebble count), and bankfull discharge of a
nearby reference reach of stable stream of the same classification (Rosgen
1996). We would like to review the final design of the stream channel and
wetland creation portion of the project.
4. Monitoring and any needed maintenance should continue for at least 5 years
following channel and wetland construction. Annual reports should be
4
submitted to the resource agencies, and they should be notified of problems
with success or function of the stream or wetland mitigation within 30 days of
detection.
5. An appropriate regional conservation organization should hold title to the
deed restrictions on the mitigation site(s). The title to the conservation
easement should be conveyed along with an endowment for future
monitoring, management, and any contingencies to ensure success of the
mitigation. The endowment should also make provision for any required
periodic legal filing.
6. Details need to be provided in the final mitigation plan relative to what
measures will be taken to control watershed conditions and prevent sediment
pollution and increased water discharge that would influence stream stability
downstream of impacted segments. Because extensive segments of
"unimpacted" stream are shown as being hand cleared in maps included with
the public notice, we are concerned that these segments will, in fact, be
impacted by uncontrolled sediment, chemical and nutrient pollution, and
flashy run-off.
Storm-water management. We are also concerned about the potential impacts of storm-water
run-off from the proposed roadway. The proposed project will increase impervious surface,
thereby affecting natural hydrology. Since the proposed route includes steep areas and is in an
area of high precipitation, we believe storm-water effects could be significant. Storm-water
control measures should be addressed in detail in any subsequent document prepared for this
project. The velocity, thermal, and chemical parameters of storm water should be considered in
the revisions.
Wildlife impacts
Wildlife crossings. In their August 2, 1995, response to our comments on the environmental
assessment, the Federal Highway Administration indicated that wide-ranging species, such as the
black bear, could cross the proposed facility beneath the bridge crossings and culverts. We do
not believe enough detail was provided in that explanation. Further, our understanding of
wildlife crossings has been expanded since that time. We recommend more details be included
in a revised environmental document for this project. The effects of highways. such as that
proposed here can be characterized as: (1) habitat fragmentation, (2) direct mortality, (3) direct
habitat loss, (4) displacement and avoidance, and (5) problems associated with human
development. We believe it is important to reduce the impacts of the proposed road construction
on local populations and to preserve the ecological processes that are related to landscape
continuity and metapopulation dynamics. One obvious measure to minimize any unavoidable
fragmentation effects of highways to wildlife is to provide crossings. Wildlife crossings may
effectively reduce impacts to wildlife populations, reduce mortality due to vehicles, and reduce
corresponding hazards to human life and property. Wildlife crossings should be planned so as to
5
take advantage of current wildlife movement corridors to maximize their potential effectiveness.
Openness factors should be calculated for underpasses so that target species are not repelled.
General designs for wildlife passage include overpasses, underpasses, viaducts, expanded
bridges, upland culverts, and/or fencing. Other measures, such as habitat conservation, may
offset the direct loss of habitat and the indirect effects of fragmentation and noise/edge effects for
area-sensitive species. Therefore, we believe successful minimization/mitigation features depend
entirely on a clear definition of species-level and natural community-level objectives. What
wildlife species will be affected by the proposed project? Which natural communities? Which
guilds? How will fragmentation affect resident wildlife? What area-sensitive species inhabit the
largely undeveloped areas of the northern bypass alternatives? Monitoring is a critical element
of any plan for mitigation of highway impacts to wildlife. What is the plan for monitoring? We
believe each of these questions should be addressed in the revised document.
In summary, we do not concur with the determination of "no effect" to listed species. We
recommend that the Federal Highway Administration revise and update the environmental
assessment, addressing all our concerns as stated above, and a subsequent reevaluation of the
finding of no significant impact.
Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Mark Cantrell of our staff at 828/258-3939, Ext. 227, if
there are any questions regarding our comments. We have assigned our Log Number 4-2-90-083
to this project; please refer to it in all future correspondence directed to us concerning this matter.

ENDANGERED, THREATENED, AND CANDIDATE SPECIES AND FEDERAL
SPECIES OF CONCERN, FOR CHEROKEE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
This list was adapted from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's County Species List. It is a
listing, for Cherokee County, of North Carolina's federally listed and proposed endangered, threatened, and
candidate species and Federal species of concern (for a complete list of rare species in the state, please
contact the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program). The information in this list is compiled from a
variety of sources, including field surveys, museums and herbariums, literature, and personal
communications. The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's database is dynamic, with new records
being added and old records being revised as new information is received. Please note that this list cannot
be considered a definitive record of listed species and Federal species of concern, and it should not be
considered a substitute for field surveys.
Critical habitat: Critical habitat is noted, with a description, for the counties where it is designated.
Aquatic species: Fishes and aquatic invertebrates are noted for counties where they are known to occur.
However, projects may have effects on downstream aquatic systems in adjacent counties.
Sea turtles: Sea turtles occur in coastal waters and nest along beaches. This list includes sea turtles
in the counties where they are known to nest. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has
jurisdiction over sea turtle issues on terrestrial systems; the National Marine Fisheries
Service has authority over sea turtles. in coastal waters.
Manatees: Manatees occur throughout North Carolina's coastal waters; this list includes manatees
in counties where there are known concentrations. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has
consultation and recovery responsibility for manatees.

Status Definition
Endangered A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range."
Threatened A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a
significant portion of its range."
FSC A Federal species of concern--a species that may or may not be listed in the future (formerly
C2 candidate species or species under consideration for listing for which there is insufficient
information to support listing).
T(S/A) Threatened due to similarity of appearance (e.g., American alligator )--a species that is
threatened due to similarity of appearance with other rare species and is listed for its protection.
These species are not biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7
consultation.
Species with 1, 2, 3, or 4 asterisks behind them indicate historic, obscure, or incidental records.
*Historic record - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago.
**Obscure record - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain.
***Incidental/migrant record - the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat.
****Historic record - obscure and incidental record.
'In the November 4, 1997, Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog turtle (from New
York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from Virginia south to Georgia)
was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S/A) designation bans the collection and
interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles from the southern population. The T(S/A) designation
has no effect on land-management activities by private landowners in North Carolina, part of the southern
population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S/A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers
the southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss.

No. 8.1910203; Federal Aid Project No. FR-14-1 (1).
Please reference the application for a Department of the Army Individual Permit, dated
August 4, 1998. The referenced application detailed the proposed project and its impacts
to jurisdictional waters of the United States. Table 1 of the August 04 application
summarized impacts in linear feet for surface waters and acres for wetlands.
A field review for this project was held at the project site on August 11, 1998.
Representatives form the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), North Carolina
Division of Water Quality (DWQ), North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(WRC), and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) were in
attendance. Impacts were reviewed and examined in the field. Field determinations were
made for perennial and intermittent surface waters as they relate to mitigation
requirements. The field review resulted in amendment of the impact summary at 7 sites.
From Table 1, impact totals for Sites 01, 05, 07, 09, 17, 18, 19 were amended. Table 1A
summarizes the changes.

At sites 01, 05, 17, 18, and 19 it was determined that the new channel would not function
as a natural stream channel and therefore could not be credited as on-site, in-kind
mitigation. The aggregate length of channel for these sites was subtracted from the
"channel length created" total. This reduced the "channel length created" total by
296.0 linear feet. Site 07 (88.0 linear feet) and Site 09 (725.0 linear feet) were
determined to be intermittent jurisdictional surface waters not requiring mitigation. A
mitigation requirement column was added in Table IA to indicate total mitigation
requirements for surface waters.
In summary, 813.0 feet of the 8325.0 feet of channel loss will not require mitigation. An
additional 1761.0 feet of channel will be created on-site. Therefore the net loss of stream
channel requiring compensatory mitigation is 5751.0 linear feet.

to east of NC 141 in Peachtree; TIP No. R-0977A; State Project
No. 8.1910203; Federal Aid Project No. FR-14-1 (1).
Please reference the application for a Department of the Army Individual Permit, dated
August 4, 1998. The referenced application detailed the proposed project and its impacts
to jurisdictional waters of the United States. Table 1 of the August 04 application
summarized impacts in linear feet for surface waters and acres for wetlands.
A field review for this project was held at the project site on August 11, 1998.
Representatives form the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), North Carolina
Division of Water Quality (DWQ), North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(WRC), and the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) were in
attendance. Impacts were reviewed and examined in the field. Field determinations were
made for perennial and intermittent surface waters as they relate to mitigation
requirements. The field review resulted in amendment of the impact summary at 7 sites.
From Table 1, impact totals for Sites 01, 05, 07, 09, 17, 18, 19 were amended. Table IA
summarizes the changes.

At sites 01, 05, 17, 18, and 19 it was determined that the new channel would not function
as a natural stream channel and therefore could not be credited as on-site, in-kind
mitigation. The aggregate length of channel for these sites was subtracted from the
"channel length created" total. This reduced the "channel length created" total by
296.0 linear feet. Site 07 (88.0 linear feet) and Site 09 (725.0 linear feet) were
determined to be intermittent jurisdictional surface waters not requiring mitigation. A
mitigation requirement column was added in Table 1A to indicate total mitigation
requirements for surface waters.
In summary, 813.0 feet of the 8325.0 feet of channel loss will not require mitigation. An
additional 1761.0 feet of channel will be created on-site. Therefore the net loss of stream
channel requiring compensatory mitigation is 5751.0 linear feet.

Dear Sir:
Subject: Cherokee County, U.S. 64 Relocation from US 19-74-129 in Murphy
to east of NC 141 in Peachtree; TIP No. R-0977A; State Project
No. 8.1910203; Federal Aid Project No. FR-14-1 (1).
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to construct a new two-lane
facility on four-lane right-of-way (ROW) south of the Hiwassee River. A 46-foot median
is proposed for the ultimate rural typical section. Bridges will be constructed across the
Hiwassee River at two locations. The proposed project is approximately 4.9 miles in
length, and the proposed ROW varies in width between 170 and 500 feet, due to the
mountainous terrain. Partial control of access is proposed with a minimum of one access
point per parcel. Traffic will be maintained during construction on the existing roadway
which will remain open to serve local traffic after construction.
Existing US 64 is currently a two-lane facility connecting the town of Murphy and the
Peachtree community. Existing ROW varies from 60 to 100-feet providing a 20 to
24-foot pavement section with some areas not containing a shoulder section. There is no
control of access. Existing horizontal and vertical alignments are substandard with the
horizontal alignment including I 1 curves over four degrees, one of which is a twenty
degree curve at Racetrack Bend. Additionally, there are seven- percent grades in the
vicinity of Racetrack Bend. The substandard geometry reduces operating speeds and
highway capacity. Passing sight distances are restricted in 89 percent of the length of the
highway with few areas to pass or pull off the road. This has resulted in a hazardous
stretch of highway with sharp curves, steep grades and poor sight distances. The accident
rate in the project vicinity is 12 percent higher than the statewide average. The

community of Peachtree also contains a hospital and a community COZY ' 4 1I7'proposed
improvements will provide a safer access to the hospital and to Tri-County Community
College with provisions for additional future capacity as traffic volumes grow.
The environmental impacts, including the alternative selection process, were evaluated in
an Environmental Assessment dated July 28, 1994 and a Finding of No Significant
Impact (FONSI) dated February 28, 1995. These documents contain studies that
investigated impacts to natural systems and protected species. No Threatened or
Endangered Species will be impacted by the proposed project. However, one Endangered
freshwater mussel species, the little wing pearly mussel (PegiasAbula) is listed for
Cherokee County. Intensive field surveys were conducted for this species along areas of
the Hiwassee River and its tributaries that may be affected by the proposed project on
May 26-27, 1998. Representatives from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), the
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC), and NCDOT were ill
attendance. A copy of the WRC report on these surveys will be forwarded as soon as it
becomes available.
Wetland delineations were performed by NCDOT biologists on January 30-31, 1997
using delineation criteria prescribed in the "Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation
Manual" (Environmental Laboratory, 1987). Their report is included for reference.
Construction of the proposed project will require impacts to waters of the United States,
including both jurisdictional wetlands and surface waters. Wetlands will be impacted by
the placement of fill as well as excavation. Surface waters will primarily be impacted by
the construction of new pipes and culverts at stream crossings as well as channel
relocation. The NCDOT has attempted to minimize impacts to waters of the United
States wherever- practical. During the right-of-way consultation phase, several
environmental commitments were made to ensure that impacts to waters were minimized.
At the crossing of Martin Branch Creek rock plating was used upstream of the inlet of the
proposed culvert to eliminate 624.0 feet of channel change. Bridge piers at the two
crossings of the Hiwassee River will be oriented approximately parallel to the stream
flow to minimize disturbance of flow. Maximum span lengths were used in the design of
the crossings in order to have as few bents as possible located in the channel. Culverts at
both Martin Branch Creek and Hampton Creek were oversized by 0.3 meters to allow for
stockpiled bed material to be placed on the floor of the culverts.

We are providing one copy of the full-size roadway plans to the Asheville regulatory field
office for their review. The department has also prepared permit drawings, which depict
the impact areas. The enclosed permit drawings include a summary of the project impacts

The NCDOT proposes to purchase credits from the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality Wetland Restoration Program in lieu of providing a mitigation plan. Currently,
this is one of only two projects in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for the
Hiwassee River basin that are anticipated to require compensatory mitigation. The other
4
project is TIP number A-0009. Only about 5 miles of one section is within the Hiwassee
River basin. Construction is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2004, but could be delayed.
The ultimate construction of two additional lanes of R-0977 is the only other project in
the foreseeable future, but it is currently unscheduled. NCDOT feels that this project
provides an ideal situation to make use of in lieu payments. The Hiwassee River basin is
isolated in the extreme western part of the state, covering only parts of Cherokee and
Clay Counties. Due to the singular nature of mitigation needs in this basin, the process of
searching the basin for suitable mitigation sites, evaluating the sites for success potential,
acquiring the sites, and creating and implementing a mitigation plan would be costly and
time-consuming. It would be more efficient to allow the WRP to incorporate mitigation
for this project into their restoration plans for the Hiwassee River Basin.
In summary, impacts to waters of the United States total 0.67 acres of jurisdictional
wetlands and 8,325 linear feet of stream due to roadway fill, pipes and culverts. Enclosed
is a completed notification form and drawings that depict impacts to waters of the United
States. Based on the discussed impacts to waters of the United States, the department
requests authorization under a Section 404 Individual Permit to construct the project. By
copy of this letter and application, the department also requests that the DWQ review this
project for 401 Water Quality Certification.
Thank you for you assistance. If you have any questions or need additional information,
please contact Mr. Lindsey Riddick at [phone], extension 315.

Dear Mr. Lund:
Subject: US 64 Relocation in Cherokee County
TIP Project #: R-0977A
Cherokee County
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North
Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) is willing to accept
payment from the North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) for wetland and stream impacts associated with the subject
project in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding
between the NCWRP and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The NCWRP is in the process of developing comprehensive watershed
restoration plans for portions of cataloguing unit 06020002 of the
Hiawassee River Basin. These plans are being developed in
cooperation with the Clay County Soil and Water Conservation
District, Cherokee County Soil and Water Conservation District,
Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Hiawassee River
Watershed Coalition.
As indicated by the attached letters from the Clay County Soil
and Water Conservation District and the Natural Resources
Conservation Service, approximately 10,000 linear feet of stream in
need of restoration have been identified. In addition, eight to ten acres
of potential wetland restoration have been identified. The stream
restoration projects will involve stabilization and reconfiguration of the
existing stream channel with the goal or re-establishing the natural
stream geomorphology and the establishment of a vegetated buffer
adjacent to the stream. The NCWRP will continue to work with these
parties to identify and implement additional stream and wetland
restoration projects in accordance with the watershed restoration plan.
