The proposed plans call for excavating fill soil down to bedrock at the creekside, replacing large boulders at the toe of the slope, and placing additional rock embankment. The construction site will be dewatered to maintain a dry working area, and all disturbed areas will be seeded and covered with straw mulch. Although there will be no work within any waters of the U.S., the project will take place adjacent to Rockhouse Creek. While work will involve some disturbance outside of the existing footprint, it will only impact the area of the collapsed downward slope and not the upper slope hillside. Email correspondence with Patrick Grogan of the North Carolina One Stop Permitting Office (704-235-2107) revealed that our project would not require any state permits but it was advised to consult with the various permitting agencies to verify. The purpose of this letter is to confirm that the FHWA does not require either a section 404 or 401 permit for this project. If we should be exempt from these permits, a letter stating as much would be appreciated from your office. 1 M7 V yam,}?

Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: Updated 11/1/2005 Page 6 of 13 High flow in the creek eroded the fill slope, causing a major wash out of road fill. The small stream feeding the creek topped the culvert pipe, washed over the road, and eroded the road surface and fill slope. This is an emery slide/roadway rehabilitation project. The road is closed and school buses have been diverted because of the slide. 10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: This project includes rehabilitation of Forest Road 981 (Roseboro Ed?,'emont Road) in the Pis.gah National Forest in Avery County, NC. The proposed plans call for excavating fill soil down to bedrock at the creekside, replacing large boulders at the toe of the slope, and placing additional rock embankment. The construction site will be dewatered to maintain a drv working area, and all disturbed areas will be seeded and covered with straw mulch. 11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: To repair the eroded slope and roadway. The No Action alternative is not practical since the roadway must remain in service and the deteriorating condition of the existing road requires action. The proposed alternative of road rehabilitation was determined to be the most cost effective alternative which will cause the least environmental impact. IV. Prior Project History If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and certifications were issued or withdrawn.

If this is a NCDOT project, list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with construction schedules. A letter requesting comments on the potential impacts of the proposed projects on species "of concern" was sent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) on October 14, 2005. On November 16, 2005, the North Carolina Field Office of the FWS replied that "this project is not likely to adversely affect any federally listed endangered or threatened species." To the extent practicable, measures to prevent future bank failures & provide a natural channel design that benefits aquatic resources will be incorporated (see attached). A letter requesting comments on the potential impacts of the proposed projects on species "of concern" was sent to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) on October 14, 2005. Updated 111112005 Page 7 of 13 Per phone conversations with the NCWRC in early November, NCWRC stated they had no obiections and would not be respondimT to the letter. On October 14, 2005 a letter was sent to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office requesting concurrence that the project as proposed would not have any affect on historical or archaeological resources. On November 14, 2005, the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office replied that they are "aware of no historic resources that would be affected by the project. Therefore, we have no comment on the project as proposed." V. Future Project Plans Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project?

Other Circumstances (Optional): It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control). 3 Applicant/Agent's Signature D?te (Agent's signature is valid only if an authorization letter from the applicant is provided.) Updated 11/1/2005 Page 13 of 13 Categorical Exclusion Form Project: ERFO NC FS 981(1) Date: Project description, including location: 12/14/05 This project includes rehabilitation of Forest Road 981 (Roseboro Edgemont Road) in the Pisgah National Forest in Avery County, NC. The proposed plans call for excavating fill soil down to bedrock at the creekside, replacing large boulders at the toe of the slope, and placing additional rock embankment. The construction site will be dewatered to maintain a dry working area, and all disturbed areas will be seeded and covered with straw mulch. Need for the Proposed Project: High flow in the creek eroded the fill slope, causing a major wash out of road fill. The small stream feeding the creek topped the culvert pipe, washed over the road, and eroded the road surface and fill slope. Alternatives Considered: The No Action alternative is not practical since the roadway must remain in service and the deteriorating condition of the existing road requires action. The proposed alternative of road rehabilitation was determined to be the most cost effective alternative which will cause the least environmental impact. Describe the category used to exclude the action from further NEPA: 23 CFR 771.117(c)(9): Emergency repairs under 23 U.S.C. 125. Describe any public or agency involvement effort conducted: A letter requesting comments on the potential impacts of the proposed projects on species "of concern" was sent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) on October 14, 2005. On November 16, 2005, the North Carolina Field Office of the FWS replied that "this project is not likely to adversely affect any federally listed endangered or threatened species." To the extent practicable, measures to prevent future bank failures & provide a natural channel design that benefits aquatic resources will be incorporated (see attached). A letter requesting comments on the potential impacts of the proposed projects on species "of concern" was sent to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) on October 14, 2005. Per phone conversations with the NCWRC in early November, NCWRC stated they had no objections and would not be responding to the letter. On October 14, 2005 a letter was sent to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office requesting concurrence that the project as proposed would not have any affect on historical or archaeological resources. On November 14, 2005, the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office replied that they are "aware of no historic resources that would be affected by the project. Therefore, we have no comment on the project as proposed." Check the appropriate box if the project would: YES NO A. Have significant adverse effects on public health or safety. X B. Have adverse effects on such unique characteristics as historical or cultural resources, park, recreation or refuge lands, wilderness areas, wild or scenic rivers, sole or principal drinking water aquifers, prime farmlands, wetlands, floodplains, or ecological significant or critical X areas, including those listed on the National Register of National Landmarks. C. Have highly controversial environmental effects. X D. Have highly uncertain and potentially significant environmental effects or involve unique or unknown environmental risks. X E. Establish a precedent for future action or represent a decision in principle about future actions with potentially significant environmental X effects. F. Be directly related to other actions with individually insignificant, but cumulative) significant environmental effects. X G. Have adverse effects on properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. X H. Have adverse effects on species listed or proposed to be listed on the List of Endangered or Threatened Species, or have adverse effects on X designated Critical Habitat for these Species. 1. Require compliance with Executive Order 11988 (Floodplain Management), Executive Order 11900 (Protection of Wetlands), or the X Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act. J. Threaten to violate a federal, state, local, or tribal law or requirement imposed for the protection of the environment. X K. Require a permit from a federal, state, or local agency to proceed, unless the agency from whom the permit is required agrees a CE is X appropriate. L. Have the potential for significant impact as indicated by a federal, state, or local agency or Indian Tribe. X M. Have the potential to be controversial regardless of its impact. X N. Require a Section 4(f) evaluation and determination in accordance with the FHWA guidance? X If any box is checked yes, the action may not be categorically excluded and an EA or EIS must be prepared. If none are checked yes, attach Environmental Screening Form, notes from consultation with agencies and/or the public, notes of site visits and any other material related to the environmental impact of the proposal. This becomes the NEPA piece of the statutory compliance file. On the basis of the environmental impact information in the statutory compliance file, with which I am familiar, I believe the project should be categorically excluded from further NEPA analysis. Prepared by: Nicholas Finch Highway Engineer (Environmental) Federal Highway Administration Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division Reviewed for legal consistency by: Julia L. Perry Legal Counsel Federal Highway Administration Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division Date Date On the basis of the environmental impact information in the statutory compliance file, with which I am familiar, I am categorically excluding the described project from further NEPA analysis. No exceptional circumstances (i.e., all boxes in the ESF are marked "no") or conditions apply and the action is fully described in 23 CFR 771.117(c)(9). Brigitte A.

This form is meant to be annotated with relevant information, such as notes of site visit, personnel conducting the site visit, agency officials contacted and their responses, etc. A site visit is required to complete this form, and so is required to categorically exclude a project (sec 3-4), prepare an EA or prepare an EIS. If the answers to questions 1-3 are yes, and all answers to number 4 are no, complete the categorical exclusion checklist. If any of the answers to question 4 are don't know, complete an EA. If any are answered yes, either a mitigated EA or EIS is required.

CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED April 18, 2006 Reid Davis, Environmental Protection Specialist Eastern Federal Lands, Highway Division Federal Highways Administration US Department of Transportation 21400 Ridgetop Circle Sterling, VA 20166-6511 Subject: Proposed Repairs to National Forest Service Road 981 in Avery County Dear Mr. Davis: The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your submittal for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the aforementioned project. Review of your application revealed it lacking necessary information required for making an informed permit decision. The permit application was deficient in the following areas: • It appears that there is an unnamed tributary at Station 2+73. It is unclear from the application if this is a jurisdictional stream. Please contact John Thomas of the US Corps of Engineers Raleigh Field Office to schedule a site visit to make a jurisdictional determination. A copy of the jurisdictional determination should be submitted to this office to be included in the application. Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 21-1.0507(a)(5), we will have to place the permit application on hold until we are supplied the necessary information. You have 21 days to respond in writing with the requested information or notification to this office that the information is forthcoming. If, at the end of the 21 days, this office has not received this information in writing, we will assume you are withdrawing your application and it will be returned. Furthermore, until the information is received by the NC Division of Water Quality, we request (by copy of this letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers place the permit application on hold. Hopefully, we can work together to expedite the processing of your permit application. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Brian Wrenn at 919-733-5715.
