Dear Mr. Alsmeyer:
SUBJECT: Rockingham County, Placement of Cofferdams during the replacement of Bridge
#107
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace the 1@ 30'6" span
bridge over Williamson Creek identified as Bridge #107 with a 1@ 24' X 6' con span with
headwall. Conpan construction will not result in the placement of new permanent fill within the
channel; however, cofferdams will have to be placed within a portion of the channel during
construction. Less intrusive methods, such as metal sheet piling, cannot be used due to shallow
bedrock.
Records from the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources indicate that the activity
complies with the National Historic Preservation Act (see attached). A survey conducted by Tim
Savidge and Shannon Simpson of the NCDOT on April 05, 2001 found no protected aquatic species
(see attached). A survey conducted by Lenwood Smith, II on March 10, 2000 found no habitat for
protected terrestrial species known to occur in Rockingham County. No Wetlands, High Quality
Waters, or Outstanding Resource Waters occur in the project area.
The NCDOT anticipates that this activity will be authorized under Nationwide Permit 33. Enclosed
please find the project site map and the pre-construction notification form for the above referenced
project. By copy of this letter we are also requesting a General Water Quality Certification #3114
from the NC Division of Water Quality. The project is anticipated to begin immediately following
permit approval and should be completed in 2 months. If you have any questions or need any
additional information, please contact Len Smith or Dennis Johnson at [phone]. Thank you
for your time and assistance.

Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.usace.armv.mil/wetlands/Perm app.htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/recytour.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U. S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
Page 1 of 11
CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed.Reg. 12893
(March 9, 2000), available at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nMfinalFedReg.Ddf.
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification; then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U. S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Impacts to waters will be minimized by a construction of a const)an with footings at an
elevation above the ordinary high water mark as determined from bankfull depth. Bankfull
depth is 2 feet above the stream bottom, the footings are to be placed at least 3-feet above the
stream bottom Impact will only result from the placement of temporary cofferdams during
construction of the footing of the northwest side. Less intrusive methods, such as metal sheet
Page 7 of I I
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
httD://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/newetlands/strmgide.htnil.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
A conspan is being constructed to facilitate avoidance of the existing channel and
minimization of bank disturbance.

Memorandum To: Len Smith, Division 7 Environmental Officer
From: Tim Savidge, Environmental Specialist
Subject: Mussel survey for proposed replacement of bridge
no. 107 over Williamson Creek on SR 1768; Rockingham County
The proposed action calls for the replacement of bridge No. 107 over Williamson
Creek on SR 1768. A spinymussel was recently discovered in the Dan River in Stokes
County. This species is similar in appearance to the James spinymussel (Pleurobema
collina) as well as the Tar spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana), both of which are
federally Endangered. The US Fish and Wildlife Service is considering the spinymussel
from the Dan River to be an Endangered species and recommends surveys for this species
to be conducted in Rockingham County. Williamson Creek flows into the Dan River
approximately 2.5 miles downstream of the project crossing. The confluence of
Williamson Creek and the Dan River is approximately 62 river miles downstream of the
NC 89 crossing of the Dan River, which is the furthermost downstream point of the river
that is currently known to be occupied by the spinymussel.
The project site was visited on April 05, 2001 by NCDOT Environmental
Specialists Tim Savidge and Shannon Simpson to survey for mussel fauna. Survey
methodology involved wading using view buckets. Water clarity and depth were sufficient
for this type of surveying. A total of 2 man-hours were spent in the creek from a point
approximately 400 yards downstream of the existing crossing to approximately 50 feet
upstream. The substrate ranges from bedrock to sand/gravel, with some areas of rock and
cobble. Several riffle/run/pool sequences were surveyed. An aquatic snail (Elimia sp.)
was found to be abundant. No mussel fauna (Unionidae) was observed during the site
visit.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
The survey results indicate that the spinymussel species is not present in
Williamson Creek. It can be concluded' that project construction will not impact this
species..
