Army Corps of Engineers ~ ~ ~ 1, 151 Patton Avenue, Room 208 Asheville, NC 28801-2714 Subject: GP 31 Permit Proposed Bridge No. 210 -Construction of Bridge on SR 1337 over Davis Creek in Cherokee County (Resubmitted; Action ID. 200330840) WBS Element 36710.1.1 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200.00) Dear Mr. Baker: This permit is being resubmitted after the allowed time period on the permit has expired. The North Carolina Department of Transportation is proposing to replace bridge No. 210 on SR 1337 in Cherokee County. The cuiTent structure is a steel and timber bridge, which spans Davis Creek. (C, Tr). The proposed structure will be a single span cored slab bridge with a total length of approx. 62'. The new bridge will be located 30 feet downstream of the existing bridge so that traffic can be maintained during construction. In order to construct this project in accordance with our Current Bridge Maintenance standards, and due to the proximity of Davis Creek to the project, we are requesting authorization under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. I am enclosing a property map, a marked topo map, and a design plan of the proposed bridge in relation to the river. The area at the new bridge site is primarily open area with a surrounding forest dominated by eastern hemlock. The herbaceous vegetation includes Joe pye weed, Rubus sp., Christmas fern, unidentified grasses, and unidentified asters along the floodplain benches and extending to the roadside on the southern end of the bridge. On the northern end of the bridge there is a maintained grass picnic area above the floodplain bench. There are several canopy size trees in the vicinity of the new bridge, including red maple, hemlock and a sourwood. Shrub layer Whittier Bridge Maintenance, 178 Henry Bird Road, Whittier NC 28789Telephone(828) 497-7953 Fax (828) 497-6095 vegetation includes several tag alder, a sycamore, an American holly, rhododendron and dog hobble. The North Carolina Natural Heritage Database was checked for records of federally threatened and endangered species. There are no records listed in the database for the entire Davis Creek watershed. Additionally, there are no records for Hanging Dog Creek below the confluence of Davis Creek. The stream at the project site is a cold water stream that supports trout. This stream is not characteristic of the habitat required by freshwater mussels. This project is limited in scope and impacts should be very minimal. The new structure is a longer span and will have less impact on the floodplain than the existing structure. For these reasons, we believe there will be "no effect" on threatened and endangered species. The best management practices will be used to minim;~e and control sedimentation and erosion on this project. The construction foreman will review all erosion control measures daily to ensure sedimentation and erosion controls are being effectively controlled. If the devices are not functioning as intended, they will be replaced immediately with better devices. Our goal is to minimize all negative impact on fish and wildlife habitat Impacts to Waters of the United States Davis Creek is approximately 20 feet in width at the project site and is shown as a perennial stream on the USGS topographic map. The stream has awell-defined channel composed primarily of boulders, cobble and some bedrock. Spaces between the boulders and cobble are composed primarily of sand and silt. The channel lacks vegetation. The stream has sufficient flaw to support fish, including trout. For these reasons, we believe that Davis Creek is under the jurisdiction of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. In order to construct the project, it will be necessary to impact waters of the United States in the Hiwassee River Basin. Specifically, NCDOT is requesting to replace Cherokee Bridge # 210 with a cored slab structure. Listed below is a summary of the proposed impacts. Site No. Station Existing Condition Proposed Condition Net Impacts Site 1 Southern Existing End Replace with new End Bent 40' Bent (40 LF) and (40 LF} associated class II rip Remove Existing End Bent (40 ra LF 40' Site 2 Northern Existing End Replace with new End Bent 40' Bent (40 LF) and (40 LF) associated class II rip Remove existing End Bent (40 ra LF 40' Total net impact from new structure = 0 Sq. Ft. Whittier Bridge Maintenance, 178 Henry Bird Road, Whittier NC 28789Telephone(828) 497-7953 Fag (828) 497-6095 Since the existing end bent removal of 40 linear feet is equal to the placement of 40 linear feet of new end bent, there will be no net impact. Therefore, there will be no mitigation required for this project. Permits Requested NCDOT is hereby requesting authorization under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act to proceed with the construction project outlined above. By copy of this letter, I am asking Mr. David McHenry, Mountain Region Coordinator of the North Carolina. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit request. Also, by copy of this letter, I am requesting authorization under section 401 of the Clean Water Act from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Division of Water Quality (DWQ). In addition, I am asking Mr. McHenry and Mr. Ed Ingle, Roadside Environmental Field Operations Engineer (NCDOT), to comment directly to me concerning this permit request.

Sandbag cofferdams will be used to construct a dry working environment. Silt fence will be used to reduce run-off into the stream. Andpotential impacts from sedimentation downstream of the project site will be avoided by the implementation of appropriate BMP's. 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 January 1 S, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to tie 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 far processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurt'ence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
