After reviewing your application, we have decided that the stream impacts and riparian buffer impacts described are covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3403 and 3366. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 23 and the Nationwide Permit 33 issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying 404 permit, unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification. This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 1501inear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed in the attached certification. 1.) Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. 2.) All stormwater runoff shall be directed to sheetflow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless approved otherwise by this certification.

Director Division of Water Gluality An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer - 50% Recycled/10% Post Consumer Paper 3.) During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or protected riparian buffers. 4.) Riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. 5.) The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified by widening the stream channel or reducing the depth of the stream. Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions. 6.) Any riprap used must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions. 7.) All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. 8.) Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is prohibited. 9.) The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located' within-;the construction corridor approved by this authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification. 10.) There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or borrow sites be located in wetlands or stream, compensatory mitigation will be required since it is a direct impact from road construction activities. 11.) Pursuant to NCACISA 2B.0233(6), sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any Neuse River Buffer without prior approval by the NCDWQ. At this time, the NCDWQ has approved no sediment and erosion control devices in Zone 1, outside of the approved project impacts, anywhere on this project. Moreover, sediment and erosion control devices shall be allowed in Zone 2 of the buffers provided that Zone 1 is not compromised and that discharge is released as diffuse flow. 12.) Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream. 13.) Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested in writing by DWQ. 14.) If the above condition (#13) is unable to be met, due to bedrock or other limiting features, encountered during construction, please discontinue activities and contact the NCDWQ for directions on how to proceed. 15.) No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened 16.) The presence of equipment in the channels must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock, sand or other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel under authorization of this permit, except in the immediate vicinity of the culverts. 17.) All work shall be performed during low crr normal flow conditions. 18.) All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1. 19.) A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be posted on the construction site at all times. In addition, the Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the~Division Engineer and the on-site project manager. 20.) All protected riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be restored to the preconstruction contours and revegetated with native woody species upon completion of the project construction. Apost-construction as-built with the restoration activities included shall be submitted to the DWQ no later than 60 days after the project is closed out by the Department of Transportation. If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition that conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447.

Replacement of Bridge No. 52 on SR 1101 (Claude Lewis Road) over Turkey Creek, Nash County. Federal Aid Project No. BRZ- 1101(7), State Project No. 8.2322201, TIP Project No. B-3877. The Division Construction Unit has requested revisions necessary for the construction of the new bridge. The width of temporary work bridge was originally shown as 20 ft., however a width of 30 ft. is needed. A platform (finger) from the proposed work bridge and a temporary workpad approximately 12 ft. from the existing bridge abutment has also been added. Hand clearing beneath the proposed bridge has been included. At end bents 1 & 2, an adjacent 10 ft. area (Method III) in the Neuse Riparian buffer will need to be cleared. Please reference the original application for the subject project dated May 2, 2005. Please replace the wetland permit drawings, the Neuse Riparian buffer drawings, and the Pre-Construction Notification provided in the original application with those included with this revised application. The Categorical Exclusion (CE) and roadway plans submitted with the previous application were not revised. BRIDGE DEMOLITION Bridge No. 52 is currently a 121-foot structure that consists of a superstructure composed of a timber floor on I-beams, timber piles with concrete caps, and a steel crutch. Bridge No. 52 will be removed without dropping any of the components into Waters of the United States. Approximately 0.001 acres of temporary impacts are anticipated due to temporary fill in Turkey Creek and adjacent wetlands for the bents supporting the temporary work bridge. The NCDOT will adhere to appropriate guidelines for bridge demolition and removal including MAILING ADDRESS: TELEPHONE: 919-733-3141 LOCATION: FAX: 919-733-9794 TRANSPORTATION BUILDING NCDEPARTMEN7OFTRANSPORTATION ~ 1 SOUTHWILHBNGTONSTREET PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONA~NTAL ANALYSIS WEBSITE: WWW.DOH.DOT.STATE.NC.US RALEIGH NC 1548 MAIL SERVICE CENTER RALEIGH NC 27699-1548 those presented in "Pre-Construction Guidelines for Bridge Demolition and Removal", "Policy: Bridge Demolition and Removal in Waters of the United States", "Best Management Practices for Bridge Demotion and Removal", and "Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters". BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION Bridge No. 52, a 121-foot long structure, will be replaced with a new structure approximately 180 feet in length consisting of a 36-inch prestressed concrete girder superstructure with two 65- foot spans and one 50-foot span. The substructure will consist of end bents on piles with the interior portion on drill piers. The Let Date is November 15, 2005 with a review date of September 27, 2005. The project involves replacing Bridge No. 52 approximately on the existing alignment. Traffic, during construction, will be maintained with an offsite detour using existing roads. IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES Permanent Impacts: Permanent fill impacts are not anticipated to occur in Turkey Creek, or jurisdictional waters, due to bridge demolition and construction activities. As part of the construction process, a directional bore will be made underneath Turkey Creek for placement of a utility line. Temporary Impacts: 0.001 acres of temporary impacts are anticipated to due to temporary fill in Turkey Creek and adjacent wetland for the bents supporting the temporary work bridge. Temporary fill impacts are not anticipated to occur in Turkey Creek due to bridge demolition. Hand clearing of 0.007 ac is proposed beneath the proposed bridge. A proposed temporary workpad will impact 0.009 ac of surface water. The temporary work bridge and temporary workpad will be constructed prior to demolition of the existing bridge and removed when construction of the new bridge is completed. TEMPORARY WORK BRIDGE A temporary work bridge will be constructed to the south of the existing Bridge No. 52. This bridge will be required to minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters during bridge construction. Temporary work bridge pile types and driving methods will be determined during construction by the contractor. The work bridge will be constructed at the elevation and location as shown on the permit drawings. Non-mechanized clearing will occur prior to temporary work bridge construction. It is assumed that the contractor will begin construction of the proposed work bridge shortly after the date of availability for the project. NEUSE RIPARIAN BUFFER RULES This project is located in the Neuse River Basin (subbasin 03-04-07, NEU7 03020203), therefore the Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0233) apply. Buffer impacts associated with this project total 7,156 sq. ft (0.16 acre) for Zone 1 and 5,010 sq. ft (0.12 acre) for Zone 2. All practicable measures to minimize impacts within buffer zones were followed in the bridge design. Measures used to minimize impacts to the buffer zone include using the current alignment. In addition, NCDOT proposes to remove the existing bridge abutment that was part of a previous bridge, .along with existing fill, and plant native riparian vegetation. Buffer replacement associated with this project totals 2,971 sq. ft (0.068 acre) for Zone 1 and 358 sq. ft B-3877 (0.008 acre) for Zone 2. According to the buffer rules, bridges are ALLOWABLE. Uses designated as allowable may proceed within the riparian buffer provided that there are no practical alternatives to the requested use pursuant to Item (8) of this Rule. These uses require written authorization from the Division of Water Quality, or the delegated local authority. Therefore, NCDOT requests written authorization for a Buffer Certification from the Division of Water Quality. REGULATORY APPROVALS Section 404 Permit: It is anticipated that the temporary work bridge and temporary work pad will be authorized under Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33 (Temporary Construction Access and Dewatering). We are, therefore, requesting the issuance of a Nationwide Permit 33 authorizing a temporary work bridge and temporary work pad. All other aspects of this project are being processed by the Federal Highway Administration as a "Categorical Exclusion" in accordance with 23 CFR § 771.115(b). The NCDOT requests that these activities be authorized by a Nationwide Permit 23 6( 7FR, pages 2020-2095; January 15, 2002). Section 401 Permit: We anticipate 401 General Certifications numbers 3403 and 3366 will apply to this project. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0501(a) we are providing two copies of this application to the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, for their records. Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules: In accordance with 1 SA NCAC 02H .0501(a), NCDOT is providing copies of this application to the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for review and issuance of a Neuse Buffer Certification for impacts to Neuse Buffers in compliance with the Neuse Buffer Rules. A copy of this permit application will be posted on the DOT website at: http://www.ncdot.org/planning/pe/naturalunit/Permit.html.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe 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. Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and Removal will be implemented. Bride No 52 will be removed without dropping any components into Waters of the United States. _Durira removal old fill and abutment will be removed and the area will be replanted with native vegetation 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. Page 9 of 12 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 maybe 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 http •//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm~ide.htrnl. 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. The temporary work bridge and temporary work pad will be removed when construction of the new bridge is completed. The existing bridge abutment and existing fill will be removed and native riparian vegetation will be planted to serve as buffer replacement. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at (919) 523-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount ofNon-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Page 10 of 12 Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ) Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federaUstate) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land? Yes ® No ^ If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)? Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA coordinator at (919) 523-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation. Yes ® No ^ If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ® No ^ IX. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ) It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. AlI buffers must be shown on a map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the applicant's discretion. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )? Yes ® No ^ If you answered "yes", provide the following information: Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer multipliers. Zone* (s uarpe feet) Multiplier Mitig t on 1 7,156 2 5,010 Total 12,166 * Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an additiona120 feet from the edge of Zone 1. Page 11 of 12 If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration /Enhancement, Preservation or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260. N/A X. Stormwater (required by DWQ) Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. N/A XI. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ) Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. XII. Violations (required by DWQ) Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules? Yes ^ No Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ^ No XIII. 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).

Project Description: NCDOT will replace Bridge No. 52 on SR 1101 (Claude Lewis Road) over Turkey Creek in Nash County. The bridge will be replaced with a new bridge approximately 130 feet in length. The bridge will be 28 feet wide. This width will provide fora 22-foot travelway and 3 foot offsets on each side of the bridge. The new approach roadway will have a 22-foot travelway with 4-foot shoulders on each side of the roadway. Shoulder width will be increased at least 3 feet where guardrail is warranted. Traffic will be detoured along surrounding roads during construction. Total project length is approximately 2200 feet. B. Purpose and Need: Bridge No. 52 has a sufficiency rating of 38.7 out of 100. The deck is only 19.1 feet wide and the bridge is composed mainly of timber. For these reasons, Bridge No. 52 needs to be replaced. C. Proposed Improvements: The following Type II .improvements which apply to the project are circled: Modernization of a highway by resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation, reconstruction, adding shoulders, or adding auxiliary lanes (e.g., pazking, weaving, turning, climbing). a. Restoring, Resurfacing, Rehabilitating, and Reconstructing pavement (3R and 4R improvements) b. Widening roadway and shoulders without adding through lanes c. Modernizing gore treatments d. Constructing lane improvements (merges, auxiliary, and turn lanes) e. Adding shoulder drains f. Replacing and rehabilitating culverts, inlets, and drainage pipes, including safety treatments g.

Performing cleaz zone safety improvements including removing hazazds and flattening slopes k. Implementing traffic aid systems, signals, and motorist aid 1. Installing bridge safety hazdwaze including bridge rail retrofit 3. Bridge rehabilitation, reconstruction, or replacement or the construction of grade separation to replace existing at-grade railroad crossings. a. Rehabilitating, reconstructing, or replacing bridge approach slabs b. Rehabilitating or replacing bridge decks c. Rehabilitating bridges including painting (no red lead paint) scour repair, fender systems, and minor structural improvements O Replacing a bridge (structure and/or fill) 4. Transportation corridor fringe pazking facilities. 5. Construction of new truck weigh stations or rest azeas. 6. Approvals for disposal of excess right-of--way or for joint or limited use of right- of-way, where the proposed use does not have significant adverse impacts. 7. Approvals for changes in access control. 8. Construction of new bus storage and maintenance facilities in azeas used predominantly for industrial or transportation purposes where such construction is not inconsistent with existing zoning and located on or neaz a street with adequate capacity to handle anticipated bus and support vehicle traffic. 9. Rehabilitation or reconstruction of existing rail and bus buildings and ancillary facilities where only minor amounts of additional land are required and there is not a substantial increase in the number of users. 10. :Construction of bus transfer facilities (an open area consisting of passenger shelters, boazding azeas, kiosks, and related street improvements) when located in a commercial area or other high activity center in which there is adequate street capacity for projected bus traffic. 11. Construction of rail storage and maintenance facilities in areas used predominantly for industrial or transportation purposes where such construction is not inconsistent with existing zoning and where there is no significant noise impact on the surrounding community. 12. Acquisition of land for hazdship or protective purposes, advance land acquisition loans under section 3(b) of the UMT Act. Hardship and protective buying will be permitted only for a particulaz pazcel or a limited number of pazcels. These types of land acquisition qualify for a CE only where the acquisition will not limit the evaluation of alternatives, including shifts in alignment for planned construction • w projects, which may be required in the NEPA process. No project development on such land may proceed until the NEPA process has been completed. 13. Acquisition and construction of wetland, stream and endangered species mitigation sites. 14. Remedial activities involving the removal, treatment or monitoring of soil or groundwater contamination pursuant to state or federal remediation guidelines. D. Special Project Information: Estimated Costs: Total Construction $ 975,000 Right of Way $ 30,000 Total $1,005,000 Estimated Traffic: Current - 300 vpd Year 2025 - 700 vpd TTST - 1% Dual - 2% Proposed Typical Cross Section: The new approach roadway will have a 22-foot travelway with 4-foot shoulders on each side of the roadway. Shoulder width will be increased at least 3 feet where guardrail is warranted. Design Speed: 60 mph Design Exceptions: None Functional Classification: SR 1101 is classified as a Rural Local Route in the Statewide Functional Classification system. Division Office Comments: The Division 4 Construction Engineer supports the chosen alternate and proposed method for detouring traffic during construction. Bridge Demolition: Bridge No. 52 is located on SR 1101 over Turkey Creek in Nash County. The Bridge deck is composed of a timber floor on ~-beams, timber piles with concrete caps, aad a 3 steel crutch. Therefore, Bridge No. 52 will be removed without dropping any - - components into Waters of the United States. - Alternatives Discussion: (including Studied Offsite Detour Evaluation) According to the Nash-Rocky Mount School System, this road has 5 school bus trips per day. According to Nash County 911 Supervisor, a volunteer fire department in Middlesex and an ambulance from Bailey aze the responders in this area. The detour route will utilize SR 1111, SR 1113, SR 1131, and SR 1100. There will be 2.3 miles of additional travel. One other alternative was studied. It included an onsite detour to the south. The onsite detour was eliminated from further study due to .their increased costs and increased impacts on the surrounding environment. "Do-nothing" is not practical; requiring the eventual closing of the road as the existing bridge completely deteriorates. Rehabilitation of the existing deteriorating bridge is neither practical nor economical. 4 E.

She reported our available information on historic architectural and archaeological surveys and resources along with our recommendations. NCDOT provided project area photographs and aerial photographs at the meeting. Based upon our revie~v of the photographs and the information discussed at the meeting, we offer our preliminary comments regarding this project.. In terms. of historic architectural resources we are aware of no historic structures located within the area of potential effect. We recommend that no historic architectural survey be conducted for this project. There are no known archaeological sites within the project area. Based on our present knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any archaeological resources which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, will be affected by the project construction. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project. Having provided this information, we look forward to the receipt of either a Categorical Exclusion or Environmental Assessment, which indicates how NCDOT addressed our comments. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.

TIP Nos. B-3863, B-3876, B-3877, B-3921, and B-4312. Biologists with the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the information provided and have the following preliminary comments on the subject project. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)} and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.9~:C. 661-667d). Our standard recommendations for Bridge repiacemeni projee;t5 cf this scope are as follows: 1. We generally prefer spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require work within the stream and do not require stream channel realignment. The horizontal and vertical clearances provided by bridges allows for human and wildlife passage beneath the structure, does not block fish passage, and does not block navigation by canoeists and boaters. 2. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the stream. 3. Live concrete should not be allowed to contact the water in or entering into the stream. 4. If possible, bridge supports (bents) should not be placed in the stream. Bridge Memo 2 September I5, 2003 5. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, they should be removed back to original ground elevations immediately upon the completion of the project. Disturbed areas should be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and native tree species should ~be planted with a spacing of not more than 10'x10'. If possible, when using temporary structures the area should be cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact, allows the area to revegetate naturally and minimizes disturbed soil. 6. A clear bank (riprap free) area of at least 10 feet should remain on each side of the steam underneath the bridge. 7. In trout waters, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission reviews all U.S. Army Corps of Engineers nationwide and general `404' permits. We have the option of requesting additional measures to protect trout and trout habitat and we can recommend that the project. require an individual `404' penmit. 8. In streams that contain threatened or endangered species, NCDOT biologist Mr. Hal Bain should be notified. Special measures to protect these sensitive species may be required. NCDOT should also contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for information on requirements of the Endangered Species Act as it relates to the project. 9. In streams that are used by anadromous fish, the NCDOT official policy entitled "Stream Crossing Guidelines for Anadromous Fish Passage (May 12, 1997)" should be followed. 10. In areas with significant fisheries for sunfish, seasonal exclusions may also be recommended. ~1 11. Sedimentation and erosion control measures sufficient to protect aquatic resources must be implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities. Structures should be maintained regularly, especially following rainfall events. 12. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within 1 S days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control. 13. All work in or adjacent to stream waters should be conducted in a dry work area. Sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, or other diversion structures should be used - where possible to prevent excavation in flowing water. 14. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in stream channels in order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into streams. 15. Only clean, sediment-free rock should be used as temporary fill (causeways), and should be removed without excessive disturbance. of the natural stream bottom when construction is completed. 16. During subsurface investigations, equipment should be inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. If corrugated metal.pipe arches, reinforced concrete pipes, or concrete box culverts are used: ~ ~ ' ' Bridge Memo 3 September I5, 2003 1. The culvert must be designed to allow for aquatic life and fish passage. Generally, the culvert or pipe invert should be buried at least 1 foot below the natural streambed '.(measured from the natural thalweg depth). If multiple barrels are required, barrels other than the base flow barrel(s) should be placed on or near stream bankfull or floodplain bench elevation (similar to Lyonsfield design). These should be reconnected to floodplain benches as appropriate. This may be accomplished by utilizing sills on the upstream and downstream ends to restrict or divert flow to the base flow barrel(s). Silled barrels should be filled with sediment so as not to cause noxious or mosquito breeding conditions. Sufficient water depth should be provided in the base flow barrel(s) during low flows to accommodate fish movement. If culverts are longer than 40-50 linear feet, alternating or notched baffles should be installed in a manner that mimics existing stream pattern. This should enhance aquatic life passage: 1) by depositing pediments in the barrel, 2) by maintaining channel depth and flow regimes, and 3) by providing resting places for fish and other aquatic organisms. In essence, base flow barrel(s) should provide a continuum of water depth and channel width without substantial modifications of velocity. 2. If multiple pipes or cells are used, at least one pipe or box should be designed to remain dry during normal flows to allow for wildlife passage. 3. Culverts or pipes should be situated along the existing channel alignment whenever possible to avoid channel realignment. Widening the stream channel must be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases ~ ~yater velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and ;~ disrupts aquatic life passage. 4. Riprap should not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be professionally designed, sized, and installed. In most cases, we prefer the replacement of the existing structure at the same location with road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour should be designed and located to avoid wetland impacts, minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing stream banks. If the structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure should be removed and the approach fills removed from the 100-year floodplain. Approach fills should be removed down to the natural ground elevation. The area should be stabilized with grass and planted with native tree species. If the area reclaimed was previously wetlands, NCDOT should restore the area to wetlands. If successful, the site may be utilized as mitigation for the subject project or other projects in the watershed. Project specific comments: B-3863, Johnston County, Bridge No. 151 over Little River on SR 1722. We recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge. Our records indicate a known population of Dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) and Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni) in close proximity to the project. NCDOT should conduct a mussel survey to determine the presence or absence of these species. Anadromous species are found in this portion of the Little River. NCDOT should follow all stream crossing guidelines for anadromous fish passage, including an in-water work moratorium from February 15 to June 15. Standard recommendations apply.

We recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge: Our records indicate a known population of Dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) ~in close proximity to the project. NCDOT should conduct a mussel survey to determine the presence or absence of this species. Standard recommendations apply. NCDOT should routinely minimize adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources in the vicinity of bridge replacements. Restoring previously disturbed floodplain benches should narrow and deepen streams previously widened and shallowed during initial bridge installation. NCDOT should install and maintain sedimentation control measures throughout the life of the proje t and prevent wet concrete from contacting water in or. entering into these streams. Repl eitt~t-t of bridges with spanning structures of some type, as opposed to pipe or box culve' s, is recommended in most cases. Spanning structures allow wildlife passage along streambanks and reduce habitat fragmentation.

Project No. 1960024-307.00 Page iii 1.0 INTRODUCTION The following Natural Resources Technical Report is submitted to assist in prepazation of a Categorical Exclusion (CE) for the proposed project. The project is situated in the southern portion of Nash County. 1.1 Project Description The proposed project calls for the replacement of Bridge No. 52 on State Road 1101 over Turkey Creek . The existing right-of--way (ROW) width is assumed from ditch line to ditch line. The proposed ROW width is 80.00 ft (24.38 m) for alternate 1 and 2. The assumed ROW for the on-site detour bridge for alternate 2 is 60.00 ft (18.29 m). A ROW width was not given for the temporary on-site detour bridge in the project description, therefore, the assumed width was based on past project descriptions. The existing bridge is 121.00 ft (36.88 m) long. The proposed project length is approximately 1,200.00 ft (365.76 m). Alternative 1 -Replace the existing bridge with a new 130.00 ft (39.62 m) long bridge at approximately the same location and roadway elevation as the existing bridge. Traffic will be maintained off-site. Alternative 2 -Replace the existing bridge with a new 130.00 ft (39.62 m) long bridge at approximately the same location and roadway elevation as the existing bridge. Traffic will be maintained using a temporary on-site detour bridge, approximately 100.00 ft (30.48 m) in length, located to the south of the existing bridge during construction. 1.2 Purpose The purpose of this technical report is to inventory, catalog, and describe the various natural resources likely to be impacted by the proposed action. This report also attempts to identify and estimate the probable consequences of the anticipated impacts to these resources. Recommendations aze made for measures that will minimize resource impacts. These descriptions and estimates are relevant only in the content of existing preliminary design concepts. If design parameters and criteria change, additional field investigations may need to be conducted. 1.3 Methodology Research was conducted prior to field investigations. Information sources used in this pre-field investigation of the study area include: Middlesex (1978) U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle map, Middlesex (1994) U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) National Wetland Inventory Map, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) Soil Survey of Nash County, North Carolina (1989), and NCDOT aerial photographs of the project area (1:100 ft). Water resource information was obtained from publications of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), Water Quality Section Tar-Pamlico Basimvide Management Plan (DENR, 1999). Information concerning the occurrence of federal and state protected species in the study area was gathered from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) list of protected species and species of concern, and the N.C. Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database of rare species and unique habitats. North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP B-3877 June 2001 The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-307.00 Page 1 LandMazk Design Group environmental scientists Ryan Smith, Wendee Smith, and Corn Wolfe conducted field surveys along the proposed alignment on 19 Apri12001. Plant communities and their associated wildlife were identified and recorded. Wildlife identification involved using one or more of the following observation techniques: active search and capture, visual observations, and identification of characteristic signs of wildlife (sounds, scat, tracks, and burrows). Jurisdictional wetland determinations were performed utilizing delineation criteria prescribed in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987). Jurisdictional surface water determinations were performed using guidance provided by N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Field Location of Streams, Ditches, and Ponding (Environmental Laboratory, 1997). 1.4 Qualifications of Investigators 1) Investigator: Ryan Smith, Environmental Scientist, LandMazk Design Group Inc., September 1999 to Present Education: B.S.

North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP B-3877 June 2001 The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-307.00 Page 2 2.0 PHYSICAL RESOURCES Soil and water resources that occur in the study area are discussed below. Soils and availability of water directly influence composition and distribution of flora and fauna in any biotic community. The project study azea lies within the eastern Piedmont Physiographic Province. The topography in this section of Nash County is broad and flat with long slopes and is drained directly by Turkey Creek. Project elevation is approximately 160.00 ft (48.77 m) above mean sea level (msl). 2.1 Soils Three soil phases occur within the study azea: Wehadkee loam, Wedowee coarse sandy loam, and Wickham fine sandy loam. Soil description information was obtained from the Soil Survey of Nash County, North Carolina, 1989. They are as follows: • Wehadkee loam is a frequently flooded, poorly drained, neazly level soil that occurs on low flood plains along most of the streams in Nash County. Permeability is moderate and the seasonal high water table is located at or near the surface during all but the driest months. Frequent flooding for a brief duration is a chazacteristic of this soil type. • Wedowee coarse sandy loam with 6 to 10 percent slopes, is awell-drained, moderately sloping soil that occurs on side slopes draining towazd streams. Permeability is moderate, surface runoff is rapid, and erosion is rapid in unprotected azeas of this soil. Moderate permeability and moderate shrink-swell potential aze the main limitations of this soil type. • Wickham fine sandy loam with 0 to 3 percent slopes, is a infrequently flooded, well drained, neazly level to gently sloping soil that occurs on high stream terraces. Permeability is moderate, surface runoff is moderate, and the soil is susceptible to infrequent flooding. . 2.2 Water Resources This section contains information concerning those water resources likely to be impacted by the project. Water resource information encompasses physical aspects of the resource, its relationship to major water systems, Best Usage Standazds, and water quality of the resources. Probable impacts to surface water resources and minimization methods aze also discussed. 2.2.1 Waters Impacted and Characteristics Turkey Creek will be the only surface water resource directly impacted by the proposed project. Turkey. Creek is located in subbasin 03-03-02 of the Taz-Pamlico River Basin. The average baseflow width is approximately 110.00 (33.53 m). The average depth is approximately 6.00 ft (1.83 m). Turkey Creek is a brownwater creek with low turbidity. Turkey Creek has a loamy sand substrate and flows northeast to southwest. North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP B-3877 June 2001 The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-307.00 Page 3 2.2.2 Best Usage Classification Streams have been assigned a best usage classification by the NC Division of Water Quality. The classification of Turkey Creek (DEM Index No. 28-33) is C NSW (NCDWQ, 1999). Class C refers to waters suitable for aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture. The supplemental classification of NSW denotes Nutrient Sensitive Waters that require limitations on nutrient inputs. Neither High Quality Waters (HQW), Water Supplies (WS-I: undeveloped watersheds or WS-II: predominately undeveloped watersheds), nor Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) occur within 1.00 mile (1.61 km) of the project study area. 2.2.3 Water Quality The DWQ has initiated abasin-wide approach to water quality management for each of the 17 river basins within the state. To accomplish this goal, the DWQ collects biological, chemical, and physical data that can be used in basinwide assessment and planning. All basins are reassessed every five yeazs. Prior to the implementation of the basinwide approach to water quality management, the Benthic Macroinvertebrate Ambient Network (BMAl~ assessed water quality by sampling for benthic macroinvertebrate organisms at fixed monitoring sites throughout the state. There is not a BMAN station located on Turkey Creek within 1.00 mi (1.61 km) of the project study area. Many benthic macroinvertebrates have stages in their life cycle that can last from six months to one year, therefore, the adverse effects of a toxic spill will not be overcome until the next generation. Different taxa of macroinvertebrates have different tolerances to pollution, thereby, long-term changes in water quality conditions can be identified by population shifts from pollution sensitive to pollution tolerant organisms (and vice versa). Overall, the species present, the population diversity, and the biomass aze reflections of long-term water quality conditions. Point source dischargers located throughout North Carolina are permitted through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program. Any discharger is required to register for a permit. No point source dischargers are located on Turkey Creek within 1.00 mi (1.61 km) of the project study area. 2.2.4 EcologicalImpacts Replacing an existing structure in the same location with a road closure during construction is almost always preferred. It poses the least risk to aquatic organisms and other natural resources. Bridge replacement on a new location usually results in more impacts. Usually, project construction does not require the entire ROW, therefore, actual impacts may be considerably less. Project construction may result in the following impacts to surface waters: 1. Increased sedimentation and siltation from demolition and/or erosion resulting from vegetation and land disturbance during construction, North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP B-3877 June 2001 The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-307.00 Page 4 2. Changes in light incidence and water clarity due to increased sedimentation and vegetation removal, 3. Alteration of water levels and flows due to interruptions and/or additions to surface and ground water flow from construction, 4. Changes in water temperature due to the increase of sun and wind exposure resulting from streamside vegetation removal, 5. Increased nutrient loading during construction via runoff from exposed azeas, and/or 6. Increased input of toxic compounds from demolition, construction, toxic spills, and highway runoff. Precautions must be taken to minimize impacts to water resources in the study area. NCDOT's Best Management Practices (BMP) for the Protection of Sensitive Waters must be strictly enforced during the construction stage of the project. Guidelines for these BMPs include, but are not limited to minimizing built upon area and diverting stormwater away from surface waters as much as possible. Provisions to preclude contamination by tonic substances during the construction interval must also be strictly enforced. 3.0 BIOTIC RESOURCES Biotic resources include aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. This section describes those ecosystems encountered in the study azea as well as the relationships between flora and fauna within these ecosystems. Composition and distribution of biotic communities throughout the project azea are reflective of topography, hydrologic influences, and past and present land uses in the study area. Descriptions of the terrestrial systems are presented in the context of plant community classifications and follow descriptions presented by Schafale and Weakley (1990) in Classification of Natural Communities of North Carolina where possible. Dominant flora and fauna observed, or likely to occur, in each community aze described and discussed. Scientific nomenclature and common names (when applicable) aze provided for each plant and animal species described. Plant taxonomy generally follows Radford et al. (1968). Animal taxonomy follows Martof et al. (1980), Potter et al. (1980), and Webster et al. (1985). Subsequent references to the same organism will include the common name only. Fauna observed during the site visits aze denoted with an asterisk (*). Published range distributions and habitat analysis are used in estimating fauna expected to be present within the project area. 3.1 Terrestrial Communities Five distinct terrestrial communities aze identified in the project study area: Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods, slope successional, riparian, mamtained/disturbed roadside, and Fresh Water Marsh. Community boundaries within the study azea are well defined without a significant transition zone North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP B-3877 June 2001 The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-307.00 Page S between them. Faunal species likely to occur within the study azea will exploit all communities for shelter, foraging opportunities, and/or as movement corridors. 3.1.1 Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods (Brownwater Subtype) The Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods aze present southwest of State Road 1101 northwest of Turkey Creek. The canopy is composed of red maple (Ater rubrum), sweet-gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), hickory (Carya sp.), river birch (Betula nigra), white oak (Quercus alba), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and chinkapin oak (Quercus muehlenbergii). The understory consists of America holly (Ilex opaca), dogwood (Corpus jlorida), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), blueberry (Vaccinium sp.), muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), and red chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia). Wildlife associated with the Coastal Plain Bottomland Hazdwoods include: white-tailed deer* (Odocoileus virginianus), eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus), opossum (Didelphis virginiana), deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), gray squirrel* (Sciurus carolinensis), striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), and raccoon (Procyon lotor). Avian species utilizing the Coastal Plain Bottomland Hazdwoods likely include: blue jay* (Cyanocitta cristata), American robin (Turdus migratorius), red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), and mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). 3.1.2 Slope Successional Community The slope successional community is present on both sides of State Road 1101 northwest of Turkey Creek and north of State Road 1101 southeast of Turkey Creek. This azea is composed of poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), blackberry (Rubus argutus), Indian strawberry (Duchesnea indica), American holly, and Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense). Faunal species frequenting the slope successional community will be lazgely those species inhabiting the Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods. 3.1.3 Riparian Community The riparian community is present on both sides of State Road 1101 southeast of Turkey Creek and on the southwest side of State Road 1101 northwest of Turkey Creek. This area is composed of river birch, saw greenbrier (Smilax bona-pox), red maple, sweet-gum, white oak, willow oak (Q. phellos), black willow (Salix nigra), and lizazd's tail (Saururus cernuus). Faunal species frequenting the riparian community will be lazgely those species inhabiting the Coastal Plain Bottomland Hazdwoods. 3.1.4 Maintained/Disturbed Roadside The maintained/disturbed roadside community includes road shoulders along State Road 1101 that aze present along the majority of the length of the project. This is vegetated by Indian strawberry, plantain (Plantago sp.), Japanese honeysuckle, red maple, ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), sweet-gum, greenbrier (S. rotundifolia), dog-fennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), and daylily (Hemerocallis fulva). North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP 8-3877 June 2001 The LandMark Design Group, lnc. Project No. 1960024-307.00 Page 6 Faunal species frequenting the maintained community will be largely those species inhabiting the Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods. 3.1.5 Fresh Water Marsh The Fresh Water Marsh is an island located within Turkey Creek. This area is vegetated by river birch, ash, red maple, lizard's tail, black willow, chain-fern (Woodwardia sp.), and microstegium (Microstegium vimineum). Faunal species likely to frequent the Fresh Water Mazsh include snakes (Squamata), turtles (Chelonia), frogs (Salientia), and salamanders (Caudata). 3.2 Aquatic Communities One aquatic community, Turkey Creek, will be impacted by the proposed project. Physical characteristics of a water body and the condition of the water resource influence faunal composition of aquatic communities. Terrestrial communities adjacent to a water resource also greatly influence aquatic communities. No submersed or emergent aquatic vegetation was observed within this section of Turkey Creek. Vegetation along the bank of Turkey Creek includes river birch, saw greenbrier, red maple, sweet-gum, white oak, willow oak, black willow, and lizazd's tail. Fauna associated with these aquatic communities includes various invertebrate and vertebrate species. Vertebrate species likely to occur near Turkey Creek would include great blue heron* (Ardea herodias) and beavers* (Castor canadensis). Invertebrates likely to be present include various species of caddisflies (Trichoptera), mayflies (Ephemeroptera), dragonflies (Odonata), damselflies (Odonata), amphipods* (Amphipoda), and bivalves* (Bivalva). 3.3 Summary of Anticipated Impacts Construction of the proposed project will have various impacts on the biotic resources described. Any construction related activities in or near these resources have the potential to impact biological functions. This section quantifies and qualifies impacts to the natural resources in terms of area impacted and ecosystems affected. Temporary and permanent impacts aze considered here as well. Calculated impacts to natural resources reflect the relative abundance of each community present within the study area. Project construction will result in clearing and degradation of portions of these communities. Tables 1 and 2 summarize potential quantitative losses to these communities resulting from project construction for alternatives 1 and 2. Estimated impacts are derived using the entire proposed ROW width of 80.00 ft (24.38 m) and an assumed ROW width of 60.00 ft (18.29 m) for the on-site detour bridge. Usually, project construction does not require the entire ROW, therefore, actual impacts may be considerably less.

Plant communities found within the proposed project area serve as nesting and sheltering habitat for various wildlife species. Replacing Bridge No. 52 and its associated improvements may reduce habitat for some faunal species. However, due to the size and scope of this project, it is anticipated that impacts to fauna will be minimal. Areas cleared by construction (but not paved) will become road shoulders and early succession habitat. Reduced habitat will displace some wildlife further from the roadway while attracting other wildlife by the creation of an early succession habitat. Animals temporarily displaced by construction activities may repopulate areas suitable for the species. Aquatic communities are sensitive to even small changes in their environment. Stream charmelization, scouring, siltation, sedimentation, and erosion from project-related work would affect water quality and North Carolina Department ojTransportation TIP B-3877 June 2001 The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960014-307.00 Page 8 biological constituents. Although direct impacts may be temporary, environmental impacts from these construction processes may result in long term or irreversible effects. Impacts often associated with in-stream construction include increased channelization and scouring of the streambed. In-stream construction alters the stream substrate and may remove streamside vegetation at the site. Disturbances to the substrate will produce siltation, which in excessive amounts can clog the gills and/or feeding mechanisms of benthic organisms (sessile filter-feeders and deposit- feeders), fish, and amphibian species. Benthic organisms could also be covered by excessive amounts of sediment. These organisms are slow to recover or repopulate a stream. Due to the negative effects of siltation, it is recommended that silt curtains be used during construction. The removal of streamside vegetation and placement of fill material at the construction site alters the terrain. Alterations of the streambank can enhance the likelihood of erosion and sedimentation. Revegetation stabilizes and holds the soil thus mitigating these processes. Erosion and sedimentation carry soils, toxic compounds, and other materials into aquatic communities at the construction site. These processes increase turbidity and can cause the formation of sandbars at the site and downstream, thereby altering water flow and the growth of vegetation. Streamside clearing also leads to more direct sunlight penetration and to elevations of water temperatures that may impact some species. Based on the potential for increased sedimentation, it is recommended that silt curtains be used during construction. 4.0 JURISDICTIONAL TOPICS This section provides descriptions, inventories, and impact analysis pertinent to two important issues; "Waters of the United States" and rare and protected species. 4.1 Waters of the United States Surface waters and jurisdictional wetlands fall under the broader category of "Waters of the United States as defined in 22 CFR Part 328.3. Any action that proposes to dredge or place fill material into surface waters or adjacent wetlands falls under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Surface waters include all standing or flowing waters that have commercial or recreational value to the public. Wetlands are identified based on the presence of hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and saturated or flooded conditions during all or part of the growing season. 4.1.1 Impacts to Wetlands and Surface Waters Potential wetland communities were investigated pursuant to the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. The three-parameter approach is used where hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and prescribed hydrologic characteristics must all be present for an area to be considered a wetland. There are Fresh Water Marsh wetlands in the project area located on an island within Turkey Creek. The total area of wetlands permanently impacted is 0.08 ac (0.03 ha) for alternate 1 and 2. Temporary wetland impacts occur only in alternate 2. These temporary impacts tota10.06 ac (0.02 ha). North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP B-3877 June 2001 Tire LcrndMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-307.00 Page 9 Turkey Creek is a jurisdictional surface water under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Discussion of the biological, physical, and water quality aspects of all surface waters in the project azea aze presented in previous sections of this report. The total area of surface water impacts to Turkey Creek from alternates 1 and 2 aze 0.12 ac (0.05 ha). Temporary azea impacts to Turkey Creek from the on-site detour of alternate 2 aze 0.10 ac (0.04 ha). Additionally, 80.00 lineaz ft (24.391ineaz m) of Turkey Creek will be impacted in alternates 1 and 2. Usually, project construction does not require the entire ROW, therefore actual surface water impacts may be considerably less. 4.1.2 Permits As described above, impacts to jurisdictional surface waters aze anticipated from the proposed project. As a result, construction activities will require permits and certifications from various regulatory agencies charged with protecting the water quality of public water resources. Nationwide Permit 23 (33 CFR 330.5(a) (23)) is likely to be applicable for all impacts to "Waters of the United States" resulting from the proposed project. This permit authorizes activities undertaken, assisted, authorized, regulated, funded, or financed in whole or part by another federal agency or department where that agency or department has determined that pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality regulation for implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act, • the activity, work, or dischazge is categorically excluded from environmental documentation because it is included within a category of actions which neither individually nor cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment, and • the office of the Chief of Engineers has been furnished notice of the agency's or department's application for the categorical exclusion and concurs with that determination. A Nationwide Permit 33 may be required if the construction plans require a temporary causeway. This project will also require a 401 Water Quality Certification from the DWQ prior to the issuance of the Nationwide Permit. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act requires that the state issue or deny water certification for any federally permitted or licensed activity that may result in a dischazge to "Waters of the United States." Section 401 Certification allows surface waters to be temporarily impacted for the duration of the construction or other land manipulation. The issuance of a 401 permit from the DWQ is a prerequisite to issuance of a Section 404 permit. Projects located within the Taz-Pamlico River Basin aze subject to the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rules, administered by the DWQ. These rules address loss of stream channel buffers for field verified streams appearing on the USGS Topographic Quad and/or the NRCS Soil Survey. Bridge construction is allowable provided that there are "no practical alternatives." As this bridge replacement project is currently proposed, it is allowable under the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rules. However, a written authorization is required from the DWQ. A request to the DWQ for the authorization should be included in the cover letter of the permit application package. North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP B-3877 June 2001 The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-307.00 Page 10 4.1.3 Bridge Demolition Bridge No. 52 is located on State Road 1101 over Turkey Creek in Nash County. The superstructure is composed of a timber floor on I-beams, timber piles with concrete caps, and a steel crutch. The bridge is proposed to be removed without dropping any of the components into "Waters of the United States:' As demolition and construction activities may temporarily raise turbidity levels, a silt curtain is recommended during the associated periods of disturbance within or adjacent to Turkey Creek. 4.1.4 Mitigation The COE has adopted, through the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), a wetland mitigation policy which embraces the concept of "no net loss of wetlands" and sequencing. The purpose of this policy is to restore and maintain the chemical, biological, and physical integrity of "Waters of the United States," specifically wetlands. Mitigation of wetland impacts has been defined by the CEQ to include avoiding impacts (to wetlands), minimising impacts, rectifying impacts, reducing impacts over time, and compensating for impacts (40 CFR 1508.20). Each of these three aspects (avoidance, minimization, and compensatory mitigation) must be considered sequentially. 4.1.4.1 Avoidance Avoidance mitigation examines all appropriate and practicable possibilities of averting impacts to "Waters of the United States: ' According to a 1990 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the COE, in determining "appropriate and practicable" measures to offset unavoidable impacts, such measures should be appropriate to the scope and degree of those impacts and practicable in terms of cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of overall project purposes. 4.1.4.2 Minimization Minimization includes the examination of appropriate and practicable steps to reduce the adverse impacts to "Waters of the United States: ' Implementation of these steps will be required through project modifications and permit conditions. Minimization typically focuses on decreasing the footprint of the proposed project through the reduction of median widths, ROW widths, fill slopes, and/or road shoulder widths. Other practical mechanisms to minimize impacts to "Waters of the United States" crossed by the proposed project include: strict enforcement of sedimentation control BMP's for the protection of surface waters during the entire life of the project; reduction of clearing and grubbing activity; reduction/elimination of direct discharge into streams; reduction of runoff velocity; re-establishment of vegetation on exposed azeas; judicious pesticide and herbicide usage; minimization of "in-stream" activity; and litter/debris control. 4.1.4.3 Compensatory Mitigation Compensatory mitigation is not normally considered until anticipated impacts to "Waters of the United States" have been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable. It is recognized that "no net loss of wetlands" functions and values may not be achieved in each and every permit action. North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP B-3877 June 2001 The LandMark Design Group. Inc. Project No. 1960024-307.00 Page 11 Appropriate and practicable compensatory mitigation is required for unavoidable adverse impacts that remain after all appropriate and practicable minimization has been performed. Compensatory actions often include restoration, creation, and enhancement of "Waters of the United States." Such actions should be undertaken in areas adjacent to or contiguous to the discharge site whenever possible. Compensatory mitigation is required for those projects authorized under Nationwide Permits that result in the fill or alteration of: • More than 1.00 ac (0.40 ha) of wetlands; • And/or more than 150.00 linear ft (45.72 m) of streams. The impacts from this project do not meet the minimum mitigation thresholds. Therefore, no mitigation requirement is anticipated. However, fmal pernut/mitigation decisions rest with the COE. 4.2 Rare and Protected Species Some populations of flora and fauna have been in, or aze in, the process of decline either due to natural forces or their inability to coexist with human activities. Federal law (under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended) requires that any action, likely to adversely affect a species classified as federally protected, be subject to review by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Other species may receive additional protection under sepazate state laws. 4.2.1 Federally Protected Species Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Proposed Endangered (PE), and Proposed Threatened (PT) aze protected under the provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of 12 Apri12001, the FWS lists the following federally protected species for Nash County. A brief description of the characteristics and habitat requirements for these species along with a conclusion regarding potential project impacts follows Table 3. Table 3. Federall Protected S ecies for Nash Coun Scie' c N~me~ ~~ ~'` '~' Common Name _.~ Fe _eral Status Picoides borealis Red-cockaded woodpecker Endangered Alasmidonta heterodon Dwarf wedge mussel Endangered Elliptio steinsta»sana Tar River spinymussel Endangered Endangered is defined as a species that is threatened with extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Picoides borealis (red-cockaded woodpecker) Endangered Animal Family: Picidae Date Listed: 13 October 1970 The red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW) once occurred from New Jersey to southern Florida and west to eastern Texas. It occurred inland in Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. The RCW is now found only in coastal states of its historic range and inland in southeastern Oklahoma and southern Arkansas. In North Carolina moderate populations occur in the sandhills and southern coastal June 2001 North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP B-3877 Page 12 The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-307.00 plain. The few populations found in the Piedmont and northern coastal plain aze believed to be relics of former populations. The adult RCW has a plumage that is entirely black and white except for small red streaks on the sides of the nape in the male. The back of the RCW is black and white with horizontal stripes. The breast and underside of this woodpecker aze white with streaked flanks. The RCW has a lazge, white cheek patch surrounded by the black cap, nape, and throat. The RCW uses open, old growth stands of southern pines, particularly longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), for foraging and nesting habitat. A forested stand must contain at least 50% pine, lack a thick understory, and be contiguous with other stands to be appropriate habitat for the RCW. These birds nest exclusively in trees that are greater than 60 yeazs old and are contiguous with pine stands at least 30 yeazs of age. The foraging range of the'RCW is up to 500.00 ac (202.34 ha). This acreage must be contiguous with suitable nesting sites. These woodpeckers nest exclusively in living pine trees and usually in trees that aze infected with the fungus that causes red-heart disease. Cavities are located in colonies from 12.00 to 100.00 ft (3.66 to 30.48 m) above the ground and average 30.00 to 50.00 ft (9.14 to 15.24 m) high. .They can be identified by a large incrustation of running sap that surrounds the tree. The incrustation of sap is believed to be used as a defense by the RCW against possible predators. A colony of woodpeckers usually consists of one breeding pair and the offspring from previous yeazs. The RCW lays its eggs in April, May, and June; the eggs hatch approximately 38 days later. Clutch size ranges in number from three to five eggs. All members of the colony share the raising of the young. Red-cockaded woodpeckers feed mainly on insects but may feed on seasonal wild fruits. BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT Open pine stands do not exist within the project azea, therefore, the habitat requirements for RCWs are not met. The North Cazolina Natural Heritage Program database was reviewed on 29 Mazch 2001 and there were no records of existing populations of RCW in the project azea. No habitat for RCWs exists in the project area. Thus, no impacts to RCWs will occur from project construction. Alasmidonta heterodon (Dwarf wedge mussel) Endangered Animal Family: Unionidae Date Listed: 14 March 1990 The dwarf wedge mussel is a small mussel having a distinguishable shell noted by two lateral teeth on the right half and one on the left half. The periostracum (outer shell) is olive green to dazk brown in color and the nacre (inner shell) is bluish to silvery white. Known populations of the dwarf wedge mussel in North Carolina aze found in Middle Creek and the Little River of the Neuse River Basin and in the upper Tar River and Cedar, Crooked, and Stoney Creeks of the Taz River system. The dwarf wedge mussel inhabits creek and river areas with a slow to moderate current and a sand, gravel, or muddy bottom. This mussel is sensitive to agricultural, domestic, and industrial pollutants and requires a stable silt free stream bed with well oxygenated water to survive. North Carolina Department ojTransportation TIP B-3877 June 2001 The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-307.00 Page 13 BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: UNRESOLVED The North Cazolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database reviewed on 29 March 2001 contains records of existing populations of the Dwarf wedge mussel in the vicinity of the project area. Surveys for mussels will be conducted by the North Carolina Department of Transportation. Elliptio steinstansana (Tar River spinymussel) Endangered Animal Family: Unionidae Date Listed: 29 July 1985 The Tar River spinymussel is endemic to the Tar River drainage basin, from Falkland in Pitt County to Spring Hope in Nash County. Populations of the Tar River spinymussel can be found in streams of the Tar River Drainage Basin and of the Swift Creek Drainage Sub-Basin. This mussel requires a stream with fast flowing, well oxygenated, relatively silt free, circumneutral pH water, and a stream bottom composed of uncompacted gravel and coazse sand. This mussel is known to rely on some species of freshwater fish as a intermediate hosts for its larvae. The Taz River spinymussel is a very small mussel named for spines which project perpendiculazly from its surface and curve slightly ventrally. As many as 12 spines can be found on the shell which is generally smooth in texture. The nacre is pinkish (anterior) and bluish-white (posterior). BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: UNRESOLVED The North Cazolina National Heritage Program (NHP) database on 29 March 2001 contains no records of existing populations of the Tar River spinymussel in the project area. Surveys for mussel populations will be conducted by the North Cazolina Department of Transportation. 4.2.2 Federal Species of Concern and State Listed Species There are eight Federal Species of Concern listed by the FWS for Nash County. Federal Species of Concern aze not afforded federal protection under the Endangered Species Act and are not subject to any. of its provisions, including Section 7, until they are formally proposed or listed as Threatened or Endangered. However, the status of these species is subject to change, and so should be included for consideration. Federal Species of Concern (FSC) are defined as a species that is under consideration for listing but for which there is insufficient information to support listing. In addition, organisms, which are listed as Endangered (E), Threatened (T), or Special Concern (SC) by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program list of Rare Plant and Animal Species, aze afforded state protection under the NC State Endangered Species Act and the NC Plant Protection and Conservation Act of 1979. Table 4 lists federal species of concern, the state status of these species (if afforded state protection), and the potential for suitable habitat in the project area for each species. This species list is provided for information purposes as the protection status of these species may be upgraded in the future. North Carolina Department of Transportation TIP B-3877 June 2001 The LandMark Design Group, Inc. Project No. 1960024-307.00 Page 14 Surveys for these species were not conducted during the site visit, nor were any of these species observed. A review of the NCNHP database on 29 March 2001 of raze species and unique habitats revealed records of Cazolina least trillium (Trillium Pusillium var. pusillium), a federal species of concern, and Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), a federal species of concern, within 1.00 mi (1.61 lan) of the project study azea.

She reported our available information on historic architectural and archaeological surveys and resources along with our recommendations. NCDOT provided project area photographs and aerial photographs at the meeting. Based upon our review of the photographs and the information discussed at the meeting, we offer our preliminary comments regarding this project. In terms of historic architectural resources we are aware of no historic structures located within the area of potential effect. We recommend that no historic architectural survey be conducted for this project. There are no known archaeological sites within the project area. Based on our present knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any archaeological resources which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, will be affected by the project construction. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project. Having provided this information, we look forward to the receipt of either a Categorical Exclusion or Environmental Assessment, which indicates how NCDOT addressed our comments. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.

The following people were in attendance: Ben Brown Jerome Nix D. Andre Davenport Mack Bailey Jason Moore Raymond Goodman, III Jessica Kuse Derek Bradner Hydraulics Hydraulics Structure Design Structure Design Roadway Design Right of Way Traffic Control Location & Surveys April Montgomery State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) Elizabeth Lusk Project Development & Environmental Analysis-Natural Systems Robin Young Project Development & Environmental Analysis The following comments were either given at the meeting or received: Hydraulics recommended the existing bridge be replaced with a new 130 foot (39.6 meter) long bridge at approximately the same location and elevation as the existing bridge. To facilitate deck drainage, at least a 0.3% roadway gradient should be used on the new bridge. If an on-site detour is considered, it would require a 100 foot (30 meter) bridge located downstream (south) of the existing bridge. The elevation of the temporary detour bridge can be approximately 3 feet (1 meter) lower than the existing bridge. State Historic Preservation Office, April Montgomery, commented there is no need for either an Architectural or Archaeology survey.

There is an underground telephone line along the north side of SR 1101 which goes aerial to cross the creek. The horizontal alignment and vertical alignments are good. It is recommended to place a new structure on the existing location and utilize anoff--site detour. Division 4 Construction Engineer, Wendy Oglesby, recommends anoff-site detour based on the low traffic volume and good condition of the proposed detour route. The proposed detour route utilizes SR 1100, SR 1131, SR 1113, and SR 1111. SR 1131 has one structure that is posted 17 tons for single vehicles and 24 tons for truck-tractor semi-trailers. The existing alignment has a sharp curve and grade drop in the alignment on the east approach. It is recommended this be modified in the new design, if possible. The Natural Systems Specialist of PDEA stated there are wetlands on each side of the bridge. This project is located in the Neuse River Basin and the Buffer Rules will apply. An off- site detour is recommended. Comments from the Wildlife Resource Commission will be available in the near future. PROJECT INFORMATION Existing Bridge Bridge No. 52, built in 1950 is 121 feet (36.8 meters) long with a clear deck width of 19.1 feet (5.8 meters). According to Bridge Maintenance Unit records, the sufficiency rating of the bridge is 38.7 out of a possible 100 with an estimated 5 years of useful remaining life. Presently the bridge is posted with weight restrictions of 16 tons for single vehicles and 20 tons for truck- tractor semi-trailers. Traffic Information SR 1101 is a Rural Local Route with a speed limit of 55 mph (90 kmh) in the vicinity of the bridge. The current ADT is 230 vph (vehicles per day) and the projected 2025 ADT is 700 vph. Approximately 2% of the traffic are dual trucks and 1 % of the traffic are truck-tractor semi- trailers. The Traffic Engineering Branch indicates that no accidents have been reported during a recent 3-year period in the vicinity of the project. This section of SR 1101 is not a designated bicycle route nor is it listed in the TIP as needing incidental bicycle accommodations. Bus Information According to the Nash-Rocky Mount School System, this road has 5 school bus trips per day.

Replacement of Bridge No. 52 on SR 1101 (Claude Lewis Road) over Turkey Creek, Nash County. Federal Aid Project No.~2~ BRZ-1101(7), State Project No. 8.2322201; TIl' Project No. B-3877. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace existing Bridge No. 52 on SR 1101 (Claude Lewis Road) over Turkey Creek (DWQ Index # 27-86-3-(1), Class "C; NSW ') in Nash County. The project involves replacing Bridge No. 52 approximately on the existing alignment. Traffic, during construction, will be maintained with an offsite detour using existing roads. BRIDGE DEMOLITION Bridge No. 52 is currently a 121-foot structure that consists of a superstructure composed of a timber floor on I-beams, timber piles with concrete caps, and a steel crutch. Bridge No. 52 will be removed without dropping any of the components into Waters of the United States. Approximately 0.001 acres of temporary impacts are anticipated due to temporary fill in wetlands for the bents supporting the temporary work bridge. No permanent fill impacts are anticipated to occur in jurisdictional waters due to bridge demolition and construction activities. The NCDOT will adhere to appropriate guidelines for bridge demolition and removal including those presented in "Pre-Construction Guidelines for Bridge Demolition and Removal", "Policy: Bridge Demolition and Removal in Waters of the United States", "Best Management Practices for Bridge Demotion and Removal", and "Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters". MAILING ADDRESS: NC DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS 1548 MAIL SERVICE CENTER RALEIGH NC 27699-1548 TELEPHONE: 919-733-3141 FAX: 919-733-9794 WEBSITE: WW{N.DOH.DOT.STATENC.US LOCATION: TRANSPORTATION BUILDING 1 SOUTH WILMINGTON STREET RALEIGH NC BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION Bridge No. 52, a 121-foot long structure, will be replaced with a new structure approximately 180 feet in length consisting of a 36-inch prestressed concrete girder superstructure with two 65- foot spans and one 50-foot span. The substructure will consist of end bents on piles with the interior portion on drill piers. The Let Date is November 15, 2005 with a review date of September 27, 2005. IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES Permanent Impacts: Permanent fill impacts are not anticipated to occur in Turkey Creek, or jurisdictional waters, due to bridge demolition and construction activities. As part of the construction process, a directional bore will be made underneath Turkey Creek for placement of a utility line. Temporary Impacts: 0.001 acres of temporary impacts are anticipated to due to temporary fill in wetlands for the bents supporting the temporary work bridge. Temporary fill impacts aze not anticipated to occur in Turkey Creek due to bridge demolition and construction activities. A temporary work bridge will be constructed prior to demolition of the existing bridge and removed when construction of the new bridge is completed. TEMPORARY WORK BRIDGE A temporary work bridge will be constructed to the south of the existing Bridge No. 52. This bridge will be required to min;mi~e impacts to jurisdictional waters during bridge construction. Temporary work bridge pile types and driving methods will be determined during construction by the contractor. The work bridge will be constructed at the elevation and location as shown on the permit drawings. Non-mechanized clearing will occur prior to temporary work bridge construction. It is assumed that the contractor will begin construction of the proposed work bridge shortly after the date of availability for the project. NEUSE RIPARIAN BUFFER RULES This project is located in the Neuse River Basin (subbasin 03-04-07, NEU7 03020203), therefore the Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0233) apply. Buffer impacts associated with this project total 1,678 sq. ft (0.039 acre) for Zone 1 and 1,927 sq. ft (0.044 acre) for Zone 2. All practicable measures to m;n;m;~e impacts within buffer zones were followed in the bridge design. Measures used to minimise impacts to the buffer zone include using the current alignment. In addition, NCDOT proposes to remove the existing bridge abutment that was part of a previous bridge, along with existing fill, and plant native riparian vegetation. Buffer replacement associated with this project totals 2,974 sq. ft (0.068 acre) for Zone 1 and 358 sq. ft (0.008 acre) for Zone 2. According to the buffer rules, bridges are ALLOWABLE. Uses designated as allowable may proceed within the riparian buffer provided that there are no practical alternatives to the requested use pursuant to Item (8) of this Rule. These uses require written authorization from the Division of Water Quality, or the delegated local authority. Therefore, NCDOT requests written authorization for a Buffer Certification from the Division of Water Quality. FEDERALLY-PROTECTED SPECIES Plants and .animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed Endangered, and Proposed Threatened aze protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1952, as amended. As of February 25, 2003, the U.S. Fish and B-3877 Page 2 Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists three federally protected species for Nash County (Table 1). Biological Conclusions of "No Effect" were previously rendered for the red-cockaded woodpecker, dwarf wedgemussel and Tar River spinymussel. These biological conclusions remain valid. Table 1.

REGULATORY APPROVALS Section 404 Permit: It is anticipated that the temporary work bridge extending across a small portion of Turkey Creek will be authorized under Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33 (Temporary Construction Access and Dewatering). We aze, therefore, requesting the issuance of a Nationwide Permit 33 authorizing a temporary work bridge extending across a small portion of Turkey Creek. All other aspects of this project are being processed by the Federal Highway Administration as a "Categorical Exclusion" in accordance with 23 CFR § 771.115(b). The NCDOT requests that these activities be authorized by a Nationwide Permit 23 (67FR pages 2020-2095; January 15, 2002). Section 401 Permit: We anticipate 401 General Certifications numbers 3403 and 3366 will apply to this project. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0501(a) we are providing two copies of this application to the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, for their records. Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules: In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0501(a), NCDOT is providing two copies of this application to the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for review and issuance of a Neuse Buffer Certification for impacts to Neuse Buffers in compliance with the Neuse Buffer Rules.

During removal, old fill and abutment will be removed and the area will be replanted with native vegetation. 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. Page 9 of 12 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 maybe 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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm~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. The temporarv work bridge will be removed when construction of the new bridge is completed. The existing bride abutment and existing fill will be removed and native riparian vegetation will be planted to serve as buffer replacement. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at (919) 523-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN.
