DENR - WATER QUALITY
?* DSMDSTORMQi
BRWH
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is scheduled to replace Bridge 971 on SR 1109
with a 14' x 50' x 5' Con-Span structure at the same location. An offsite detour is proposed.
Miscellaneous rip-rap impacts will total 20 linear feet or less.
The replacement of the existing bridge with the proposed Con-Span will require temporary
dewatering as well. Two impervious dikes will be constructed underneath the existing bridge for
approximately 90 feet to direct the water to the center of the channel. The dewatered area will
total approximately 540 square feet or 0.0124 acres. Once the new structure is in place, the
impervious dike will be removed and preconstruction streambed elevations will be restored.
Construction of this project will require impacts to waters of the United States in the Watauga
River Basin. Bridge #71 crosses Upper Laurel Fork (Class: C). The Division 11 Environmental
Officer reviewed this project for the presence of threatened and endangered species on December
16, 2004. The subject project will have no effect on any federally listed endangered plant or
animal species. Historic compliance work will be scheduled and concurrence with the State
Historic Preservation Office will be obtained if required.
Attached is a Preconstruction Notification Form, plan sheets, a marked county map, a marked
topography map and photographs.

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.
The existing bridge must be replaced due to its condition A Con-Span structure has been
proposed instead of a box culvert. This minimizes stream impacts at this location By utilizing
all appropriate BMPs during construction adverse impacts to Upper Laurel Fork will be
minimized.
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
Page 7 of 12
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/strmg
ide.html.
1. 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.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401 /Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at 1mp://h2o.enr.state. nc.usAymAndex.litill. If
