EASLEY GOVERNOR a STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION September 18, 2001 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington Regulatory Field Office P.O. Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 W. LYNDO TIPPETT SECRETARY ATTN: Mr. Richard Spencer 011398 NCDOT Coordinator Dear Sir: Subject: Notification for Nationwide Permit 14 Road Crossing Culvert Replacement SR 1789-Harnett County The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace an existing 36 linear foot 66 inch CMP along SR 1789 in Harnett County. The existing culvert presently has signs of corrosion along it's bottom and the pipe ends have been gouged by maintenance activities. The Division 6 Harnett County Maintenance Engineer determined that the pipe would be replaced instead of lengthened in the course of improving the roadway from dirt to pave. Minimal impacts are proposed as the result of this project, which is necessary to maintain SR 1789 to current safety standards. RESOURCE STATUS A Wetland Delineation / Natural Resource Inventory was conducted within the Right-of-Way of SR 1789 in Harnett County, North Carolina. The drainage channels along SR 1789 are out to the Right-of-Way lines and no work will occur outside the right-of-way. Jurisdictional wetlands were not identified within the proposed Right-of-Way. The proposed culvert will be installed within the stream banks of the UT to Mingo Swamp. The UT to Mingo Swamp has a very limited drainage basin with 0.7 mile of run up to it's headwater. A minor impact of 24 linear feet of stream is proposed as the result of this project. P. O. Box 1150, Fayetteville. NC 28302-1150 -Telephone (910) 486-1792- Fax (910) 486-1959 <?Q In general, there will be minor impacts proposed as the result of the replacement of the 66 inch CMP along SR 1789 in Harnett County. Approximately 14 linear feet / 42 sq ft of stream impacts are expected. A Nationwide Permit 414 is required for the project due to the placement of the culvert crossing. Endangered Species: Plants and animals with Federal classification of Endangered (E) or Threatened (T) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of February 26, 2001, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lists six federally protected species for Harnett County. Federal SCIENTIFIC NAME Notropis mekistocholas Picoides borealis isotria medeoloides Lysimachia asperulaefolia Protected S cies for Harnett Count COMMON NAME STATUS Cape Fear shiner E Red-cockaded woodpecker E Small-whorled pogonia T Rough-leaved E loosestrife "E" denotes Endangered (a species that is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range). T(S/A)- Threatened due to similarity of appearance, 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. A biological conclusion of "No Effect" was reached for all species during the August 3, 2001 survey for protected species. Protected species were not identified, nor, was the general habitat for each species identified. REGULATORY APPROVALS Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army Nationwide Permit 14 as required by the above-described activities. No impacts shall occur to jurisdictional wetland areas, and as such, wetland mitigation is not required. If you should have any questions, or, need additional information please contact James J.
