Justification and Mitigation 1 Avoidance and Minimization la Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project The proposed bridge is 29 feet longer than the existing bridge the number of bents within the creek will be reduced from three to zero the proposed bridge will be at approximately the same grade and alignment as the existing structure 2 1 or steeper fill slopes are used through the buffer zones to reduce impacts existing concrete abutments will be removed and replaced with rip rap on the banks to prevent the erosion that currently exists and ditch flow from the NW and SW quadrants that is currently concentrated flow through the buffers on the upstream side will be piped to the more stable ditches on the downstream side providing improvement in velocities and infiltration over the current gullies Per the USFWS Biological Opinion for the dwarf wedgemussel dated April 19 2012 the following conservation measures will also be employed 1) In areas identified as Environmentally Sensitive Areas the contractor may perform clearing operations but not grubbing operations until immediately prior to beginning grading operations 2) Once grading operations begin in identified Environmentally Sensitive Areas work shall progress in a continuous manner until complete 3) In areas identified as Environmentally Sensitive Areas erosion control devices shall be installed immediately following the clearing operation 4) In areas identified as Environmentally Sensitive Areas seeding and mulching shall be performed on the areas disturbed by construction immediately following final grade establishment 5) In areas identified as Environmentally Sensitive Areas seeding and mulching shall be done in stages on cut and fill slopes that are greater than 20 feet in height measured along the slope or greater than two acres in area whichever is less 6) No new bents will be constructed in the river New bents will be constructed at or beyond the top of bank resulting in a complete span of the river channel 7) Deck drains will not discharge directly into the stream 8) Removal of the existing bents will take place when water flow level is at a minimum point allowable within the project schedule and will be done in such a manner to minimize disturbance to the river bed 9) Standard silt fence and small sections of special sediment control fence will be installed along the top of the river bank and along the toe of the slope parallel to the river The special control fence sections will be installed as drainage breaks in the silt fence and at low elevation points Once the disturbed areas that drain to the silt fence and special sediment control fence have been stabilized the silt fence and special sediment control fence and all accumulated sediment adjacent to the fence will be removed to natural ground and stabilized with a native grass mix 10) All sedimentation and erosion control measures throughout the project limits will be maintained regularly to ensure proper function of the measures 11) NCDOT will ensure that Roadside Environmental Unit staff maintains a level of oversight to ensure that all appropriate erosion control measures are fully implemented to avoid /minimize sedimentation of the stream 12) A temporary access road for conveying construction equipment in the floodplam /buffer will be stabilized with rock underlain with filter fabric Temporary Class II rip rap and filter fabric causeway work pads with fingers to individual bents will be utilized for removal of existing in stream structures The total length of causeway across the river at any one time will be less than or equal to the total length of the longest causeway in order to maintain hydraulic opening and minimize unnecessary constriction of the river channel 13) Rip rap bank stabilization will be installed in conjunction with the temporary causeway portions of which will remain to provide permanent bank stability 14) The existing concrete waste in the river will be removed in conjunction with bent foundations 15) Embankment construction and grading shall be managed in such a matter to prevent surface runoff /drainage from discharging untreated into the riparian buffer Instead all interim surfaces will be graded to drain to temporary erosion control devices Temporary berms ditches etc will be incorporated as necessary to treat temporary runoff before discharging into the riparian buffer (As specified in NCDOT BMP Manual) 16) If possible a gap will be left between proposed bank stabilization rip rap and proposed abutment rip rap to ease terrestrial wildlife passage under the bridge 17) A preconstruction mussel survey will be conducted prior to the start of construction with a pre approved contingency plan in the event that DWM are found during this survey 18) An off site detour will be utilized for this project 1 b Specifically describe measures taken

Section 7 consultation August 5, 2010 — Service staff assist NCDOT staff in conducting mussel survey September 12, 2011— Service staff attends an on site field meeting with NCDOT staff to discuss potential conservation measures to minimize effects to the DWM January 24, 2012 — The Service provides comments on a draft BA from NCDOT April 11, 2012 — The Service receives a letter from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), dated April 10, 2012, with the attached final BA, requesting formal Section 7 consultation on the proposed replacement of Bridge No 83 over the Tar River BIOLOGICAL OPINION I DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION The B -3841 project is located at the SR 1138 (Culbreth Road) crossing of the Tar River in Granville County North Carolina, approximately seven miles west of Oxford The existing eight -span 140 feet long and 219 feet wide bridge will be replaced with a three -span, approximately 169 feet long (1 @32', 1 @100' 1 @37') and 30 8 feet wide bridge The new bridge will be placed in the same horizontal alignment, but the roadway grade will be raised approximately four feet The new bridge will completely span the channel of the Tar River A small amount of existing approach fill will be removed from the floodplain Reconstruction of the approach road will extend approximately 370 feet south of the new bridge and 160 feet north of the new bridge Traffic will be detoured onto other roads during construction After removing the existing bridge superstructure, the removal of bents in the stream channel will require the construction of two temporary rock causeways in the stream channel Installation of the Stage 2 causeway will not begin until removal of the Stage 1 causeway has begun The Stage 2 causeway, the longer of the two, is expected to exceed slightly more than 50% of the channel widt The temporary causeways will consist of np rap underlain with filter fabric The temporary causeways will allow access of heavy equipment to remove the existing concrete footings of bents in the channel to remove existing concrete slope protection to excavate the banks, and to construct the new bridge The Stage 1 causeway is expected to be in place less than one month and the Stage 2 causeway is expected to be in place up to four months Upon removal of each causeway, a portion of the np rap will be allowed to remain as bank stabilization Action Area The action area is defined as the SR 1138 project right -of -way (ROW) of B -3841, beginning 370 feet south of the bridge and extending 160 feet north of the bridge, plus the Tar River for a distance of 1,312 feet (400 meters) downstream and 328 feet (100 meters) upstream of the bridge The action area consists mainly of a maintained/disturbed roadside vegetative community, the SR 1138 pavement and bridge structure, and the Tar River channel The action area occurs in Tar River Sub -basin 03 03 -01, as assigned by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality Section At the project site, the Tar River is approximately 70 feet wide Riparian hardwood forest borders along each bank within the action area Conservation Measures Conservation measures represent actions, pledged in the project description, that the action agency will implement to minimize the effects of the proposed action and further the recovery of the species under review Such measures should be closely related to the action and should be achievable within the authority of the action agency Since conservation measures are part of the proposed action their implementation is required under the terms of the consultation The FHWA and NCDOT have proposed the following conservation measures • In areas identified as Environmentally Sensitive Areas, the contractor may perform clearing operations, but not grubbing operations until immediately prior to beginning gradmg operations • Once grading operations begin in identified Environmentally Sensitive Areas, work shall progress in a continuous manner until complete • In areas identified as Environmentally Sensitive Areas, erosion control devices shall be installed immediately following the clearing operation • In areas identified as Environmentally Sensitive Areas seeding and mulching shall be performed on the areas disturbed by construction immediately following final grade establishment • In areas identified as Environmentally Sensitive Areas, seeding and mulching shall be done in stages on cut and fill slopes that are greater than 20 feet in height measured along the slope or greater than two acres in area, whichever is less • No new bents will be constructed in the river New bents will be constructed at or beyond the top of bank resulting in a complete span of the river channel • Deck drams will not discharge directly into the stream • Removal of the existing bents will take place when water flow level is at a m,mmum point allowable within the project schedule and will be done in such a manner to minimize disturbance to the river bed • Standard silt fence and small sections of special sediment control fence will be installed along the top of the river bank and along the toe of slope parallel to the river The special sediment control fence sections will be installed as drainage breaks in the silt fence and at low elevation points Once the disturbed areas that drain to the silt fence and special sediment control fence have been stabilized, the silt fence and special sediment control fence and all accumulated sediment adjacent to the fence will be removed to natural ground and stabilized with a native grass mix • All sedimentation and erosion control measures, throughout the project limits, will be maintained regularly to ensure proper function of the measures • NCDOT will ensure that Roadside Environmental Unit staff maintain s a level of oversight to ensure that all appropriate erosion control measures are fully implemented to avoid/mminuze sedimentation of the stream • Temporary access road for conveying construction equipment in the floodplam/buffer will be stabilized with rock underlain with filter fabric Temporary Class Il np rap and filter fabric causeway work pads with fingers to individual bents will be utilized for removal of existing in-stream structures The total length of causeway across the river at any one time will be less than or equal to the total length of the longest causeway in order to maintain hydraulic opening and minimize unnecessary constriction of the river channel • Rip rap bank stabilization will be installed in conjunction with the temporary causeway, portions of which will remain to provide permanent bank stability • The existing concrete waste in the river will be removed in conjunction with bent foundations • Embankment construction and grading shall be managed in such a manner to prevent surface runoffJdramage from discharging untreated into the riparian buffer Instead all interim surfaces will be graded to drain to temporary erosion control devices Temporary berms, ditches, etc will be incorporated, as necessary, to treat temporary runoff before discharging into the riparian buffer (As specified in NCDOT BMP Manual) • If possible, a gap will be left between proposed bank stabilization np rap and proposed abutment np rap to ease terrestrial wildlife passage under the bridge • A preconstruction mussel survey will be conducted prior to the start of construction, with a pre- approved contingency plan in the event that DWM are found during this survey • An off site detour will be utilized for this project H STATUS OF THE SPECIES The DWM was federally listed as endangered on March 14, 1990 The DWM is found solely in Atlantic Coast drainage streams and rivers of various sizes and moderate current It ranges from New Hampshire to North Carolina, in small creeks to deep rivers in stable habitat with substrates ranging from mixed sand, pebble and gravel, to clay and silty sand In the southern portion of its range, it is often found buried under logs or root mats in shallow water (USFWS 1993), whereas in the northern portion of its range, it may be found in firm substrates of mixed sand, gravel or 4 cobble or embedded in clay banks in water depths of a few inches to greater than 20 feet (Fichtel and Smith 1995 Gabriel 1995 Gabriel 1996 Nedeau and Werle 2003 Nedeau 2004a 2004b 2006a) The DWM's reproductive cycle is typical of other freshwater mussels, requiring a host fish on which its larvae (glochidia) parasitize and metamorphose into juvenile mussels The DWM is not a long -lived species as compared to other freshwater mussels, life expectancy is estimated at 10 to 12 years (Michaelson and Neves 1995) Human activity has significantly degraded DWM habitat causing a general decline in populations and a reduction in distribution of the species Primary factors responsible for the decline of the DWM include 1) unpoundment of river systems, 2) pollution, 3) alteration of riverbanks, and 4) siltation (USFWS 1993) Damming and channelizatnon of rivers throughout the DWM's range have resulted in the elimination or alteration of much of its formerly occupied habitat (Wafters 2001) Domestic and industrial pollution was the primary cause for mussel extirpation at many historic sites Mussels are known to be sensitive to a wide variety of heavy metals and pesticides, and to excessive nutrients and chlorine (Havhk and Marking 1987) Mussel die -offs have been attributed to chemical spills, agricultural waste run -off and low dissolved oxygen levels Because freshwater mussels are relatively sedentary and cannot move quickly or for long distances, they cannot easily escape when silt is deposited over their habitat Siltation has been documented to be extremely detrimental to mussel populations by degrading substrate and water quality, increasing exposure to other pollutants and by direct smothering of mussels (Ellis 1936, Markings and Bills 1979) In Massachusetts, a bridge construction project decimated a population of DWM by accelerated sedimentation and erosion (Smith 198 1) Most DWM populations are small and geographically isolated from each This isolation restricts exchange of genetic material among populations and reduces genetic variability within populations (USFWS 1993) At one time DWM was recorded from 70 localities in 15 mayor drainages ranging from North Carolina to New Brunswick, Canada Since the 1993 Recovery Plan, a number of new locations have been discovered and a number of known locations are possibly no longer extant Based on preliminary information the dwarf wedgemussel is currently found in 15 major drainages (Table 1), comprising approximately 70 "sites ' (one site may have multiple occurrences) At least 45 of these sites are based on less than five individuals or solely on spent shells (USFWS 2007) Table 1 Dwarf wedgemussel

do not necessarily correspond to the original drainages identified in the 1993 Recovery Plan although there is considerable overlap The main stem of the Connecticut River in New Hampshire and Vermont is considered to have the largest remaining DWM population, consisting of three distinct stretches of sporadically occupied habitat segmented by hydroelectric dams It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of DWM scattered within an approximate 75 -mile stretch of the Connecticut River The Ashuelot River in New Hampshire the Farmington River in Connecticut, and the Neversmk River in New York harbor large populations, but these number in the thousands only The remaining populations from New Jersey south to North Carolina are estimated at a few individuals to a few hundred individuals (USFWS 2007) In summary, it appears that the populations in North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland are declining as evidenced by low densities, lack of reproduction, or inability to relocate any DWM in follow -up surveys Populations in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut appear to be stable, while the status of populations in the Delaware River watershed affected by the recent floods of 2005 is uncertain at this time (USFWS 2007) III ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE Under section 7(a)(2) of the Act when considering the effects of the action" on federally listed species the Service is required to take into consideration the environmental baseline The environmental baseline includes past and ongomg natural factors and the past and present impacts of all federal, state, or private actions and other activities in the action area (50 CFR 402 02), including federal actions in the area that have already undergone section 7 consultation, and the impacts of state or private actions which are contemporaneous with the consultation in process 6 Status of the Species Within the Action Area The action area occurs within the Upper Tar River Basin Records maintained by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) show DWM to have been present in the Tar River main stem between SR 1150 (Gooches Mill Road) and US 158 Additionally, the following tributaries have been known to support DWM in the recent past Cub Creek, Shelton Creek Fox Creek and North Fork Tar River All of the element occurrences in the Upper Tar River Basin are designated as NHP Element Occurrence No 89, representing them as a single population of DWM Observations (G Jordan Service biologist, personal observations) of the Upper Tar River Basin suggest that the DWM in the Upper Tar River Basin are genetically isolated and may not be represented as a single population Shelton Creek and Fox Creek are a contiguous unit, separated from the Tar Rv, er main stem by Gooches Mill Dam The dam is located approximately 200 meters downstream of the mouth of Shelton Creek and impounds the Tar River and Shelton Creek approximately 100 meters upstream of the SR 1150 bridge crossing The habitat at their function is not suitable for DWM or their host species and likely represents a complete bamer to movement between the two areas Cub Creek is isolated by another mill dam at its mouth This mill dam is partially breached and the unpoundment behind it represents less of an obstacle however the habitat at the mouth of Cub Creek is poor to marginal for DWM and its host species and may represent a genetic barrier (J Mays, NCDOT biologist, personal communication) North Fork Tar River flows into the Tar River below Gooches Mill Dam, and the habitat at its mouth is heavily degraded by agricultural influences, primarily heavy erosion caused by unfenced cattle North Fork Tar River could provide connectivity to the Tar River main stem, but not to the population upstream of the mill dam Recent efforts to locate DWM individuals in the Tar River have been unsuccessful These efforts were sufficient enough to make the assertion that the population of DWM in the Tar River is not abundant The apparent isolation of the DWM in the Tar River from the DWM in any of the populated tributaries increases the chances of extirpation from a series of single events and prevents the recolonization of areas affected by natural or anthropogemc disturbances Survey records maintained by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Comnussion ( NCWRC) Aquatic Database for the SR 1138 crossing site indicate that two DWM were found in a 1998 survey No DWM were encountered during NCWRC survey efforts in 1986, 1995, 1999, 2010 or 2011 despite the presence of good quality habitat The survey records at this site are sufficient to demonstrate that the population of DWM at this site is not and has not historically been comparable to other DWM locations such as in Shelton Creek, where catch per unit effort has been recorded as high as 19 DWM per search hour Severe droughts affecting the Tar River in recent years (2002 and 2007) appear to have had a drastic effect on DWM within the river basin Mussel fauna, already stressed by combinations of human induced factors as well as environmental fluctuation, appear to have been reduced within the action area While drought conditions persisted during the summer /fall of 2007 and early v inter 2008, the entire watershed upstream of the action area was observed to have completely stopped flowing and was reduced to a series of small stagnant pools for a period greater than three months (G Jordan Service biologist, personal observations) Surveys conducted in Upper Tar River Basin following the return of flow within the system have demonstrated severe reduction of DWM as well as other mussel species in the area DWM catch per unit effort (CPUE) within a well known area in Shelton Creek dropped from a high of 19 DWM/hour in 2005 to 0 DWM/hour in three 2009 surveys Subsequently, three separate survey efforts in Shelton Creek m2010 located DWM in very low numbers with a CPUE of <1 It is unknown if any DWM survived the drought within the action area Factors Affecting the Species Environment Within the Action Area The existing bridge especially the bents in the channel, may have affected DWM habitat within the action area DWM, like all mussels, are sensitive to changes within their watershed particularly deforestation, urbanization and mayor construction activities Presently the action area and surrounding areas are primarily rural and do not appear to be experiencing deforestation, urbanization or any other major construction activities The most prevalent current factors affecting the species in and near the action area are the lingering effects of the 2002 and 2007 droughts and the lack of genetic connectivity with nearby, but isolated populations IV EFFECTS OF THE ACTION Under section 7(a)(2) of the Act, "effects of the action" refers to the direct and indirect effects of an action on the species or critical habitat, together with the effects of other activities that are interrelated or interdependent with that action The federal agency is responsible for analyzing these effects The effects of the proposed action are added to the environmental baseline to determine the future baseline, which serves as the basis for the determination in this BO Should the effects of the federal action result in a situation that would jeopardize the continued existence of the species, we may propose reasonable and prudent alternatives that the federal agency can take to avoid a violation of section 7(a)(2) The discussion that follows is our evaluation of the anticipated direct and indirect effects of the proposed project Indirect effects are those caused by the proposed action that occur later in time but are still reasonably certain to occur (50 CFR 402 02) Factors to be Considered Since recent efforts to locate the DWM in the Tar River have been unsuccessful, it is uncertain that any DWM still occur within the action area If the species does occur within the action area, the minimal amount of work within the channel is expected to have negative effects for only a short duration The long term and overall effect of the project may be beneficial if there is significant recovery of the species in the Upper Tar Basin Analysis for Effects of the Action Beneficial Effects The removal of the existing bridge bents in the channel and the commitment to completely span the channel will have beneficial effects Given that in- channel bents can trap debris during high flows and can change stream hydraulics in the immediate vicinity of the structure (causing scour and deposition) the elimination of the m- channel bents is expected to reduce the bridge s effects on stream -flow patterns Also, given that large debris piles must often be removed from in- channel bents (creating additional channel disturbance and downstream sedimentation), the elimination of the in channel bents will thus preclude future disturbance for debris removal The lengthening of the bridge from approximately 140 feet to approximately 169 feet and the removal of some existing approach fill within the floodplain will allow the stream to access more of its floodplain thus potentially reducing downstream bank scouring and sedimentation Direct Effects The construction of temporary, rock causeways within the channel could crush any DWM within their footprint The temporary causeways may cause temporary compaction of the underlying substrate thus degrading DWM habitat If a high water event occurs during the time a work pad is in place, the constricted flow could cause erosion of the substrate and the opposite bank Temporary causeways also create areas where debris can collect on thus increasing the possibility of adjacent scouring and bank erosion However, having only one causeway present at a time minimizes the chances of the negative effects occutnng Once removed, the negative effects of the causeways will likely be short-lived Removal of the m- channel bents may disturb sediment which will redeposit downstream, potentially on DWM or within DWM habitat However, the small amount of sedimentation is likely sub -lethal Of greater concern is prolonged erosion of the disturbed area on and along the banks of the river within the action area during the construction of the bridge and approach road A major storm event could erode soil from within the disturbed construction area and wash it into the stream, thus smothering mussels, interfering with respiration and feedmg, and degrading habitat To avoid or minimize the potential for this effect, NCDOT has developed stringent erosion control measures and other conservation measures (see' Conservation Measures" section of this BO) which greatly reduce the likelihood of sediment entering the stream Indirect Effects Since the project involves replacing an existing two -lane bridge with a new two lane bridge, it is unlikely that the project will promote any secondary development or land use changes Also since no new bents will be placed in the channel, no negative indirect effects to stream flow are anticipated Overall, the project is not likely to have any measurable indirect effect on DWM or its habitat Interrelated and Interdependent Actions None known V CUMMULATIVE EFFECTS Cumulative effects include the effects of future state, tribal, local or private actions that are reasonably certain to occur in the action area considered in this BO Future federal actions that are unrelated to the proposed action are not considered in this section because they require separate consultation pursuant to section 7 of the ESA At this time there are no known future local, state or private actions not requiring federal actions that are reasonably certain to occur within the action area VI CONCLUSION After reviewing the current status of the DWM, the environmental baseline for the action area all effects of the proposed project and the conservation measures identified in the BA, it is the Service s biological opinion that the proposed replacement of Bridge No 83 over the Tar River on SR 1138 (TIP No B- 3841), as proposed, is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of this species No critical habitat has been designated for this species, therefore, none will be affected This non - jeopardy opinion is based, in part, on the following facts It is not known if the DWM still exists within the action area The project has significant long -term beneficial effects Several conservation measures will greatly reduce the potential for negative effects In- channel work will be minimal, thus limiting the potential for negative effects INCIDENTAL TAKE STATEMENT Section 9 of the ESA and federal regulations pursuant to Section 4(d) of the ESA prohibit the taking of endangered and threatened species, respectively without special exemption Take is defined as to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, lull, trap, capture, or collect, or attempt to engage in any such conduct Harm is further defined by the Service to include significant habitat modification or degradation that results in death or injury to listed species by significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns such as breeding, feeding or sheltering Harass is defined by the Service as intentional or negligent actions that create the likelihood of mjury to listed species to such an extent as to significantly disrupt normal behavior patterns which include, but are not limited to, breeding, feeding or sheltering Incidental take is defined as take that is incidental to, and not the purpose of, the carrying out of an otherwise lawful activity Under the terms of Section 7(b)(4) and Section 7(o)(2), taking that is incidental to and not intended as part of the agency action is not considered to be prohibited taking under the ESA provided that such taking is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Incidental Take Statement The measures described below are non - discretionary, and must be undertaken by the FHWA so that they may become binding conditions of any grant or permit issued to the NCDOT, as appropriate, for the exemption in section 7(o)(2) to apply The FHWA has a continuing duty to regulate the activity covered by this Incidental Take Statement If the FHWA (1) fails to assume and implement the terms and conditions or (2) fails to require the NCDOT to adhere to the terms and conditions of the Incidental Take Statement through enforceable terms that are added to the permit or grant document the protective coverage of section 7(o)(2) may lapse To monitor the impact of incidental take the FHWA or the NCDOT must report the progress of the action and its impact on the species to the Service as specified in the Incidental Take Statement [50 CFR §402 14(1)(3)] ` 10 Amount or Extent of Take Anticipated The Service anticipates that incidental take of the DWM may occur as a result of the bridge replacement During demontion of the existing bridge and construction of the new bridge, individual mussels may be crushed, harmed by siltation or other water quality degradation or dislocated because of physical changes in their habitat Because there are no reliable data on the number of DWM buried in the substrate compared to those on the surface (and even those on the surface are difficult to detect), it is not possible to base the amount of incidental take on numbers of individual mussels Additionally, mcidental take will likely be difficult to detect and monitor Although spent shells may be collected, attributing the cause of mortality maybe difficult Glochidia and juvenile mussels are also extremely difficult to sample, therefore it is difficult to document take of either of these life stages The level of incidental take of the DWM can be defined as all DWM that may be harmed, harassed, collected or lalled within the action area (400 meters downstream and 100 meters upstream of the existing bridge) If mcidental take is exceeded, all work should stop, and the Service should be contacted immediately Effect of the Take In the accompanying BO, the Service has determined that the level of anticipated take is not likely to result in jeopardy to the DWM Since critical habitat has not been designated for this species the proposed project will not result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat Reasonable and Prudent Measures The Service believes the following reasonable and prudent measures are necessary and appropriate to minimize take of the DWM These nondiscretionary measures include, but are not limited to the terms and conditions outlined in this BO I All Conservation Measures previously described in this BO must be implemented Terms and Conditions In order to be exempt from the prohibitions of section 9 of the ESA, the NCDOT must comply with the following terms and conditions which implement the reasonable and prudent measures described previously and outline required reporting requirements These terms and conditions are nondiscretionary 1 NCDOT will ensure that the contractor and on site NCDOT staff understand and follow the measures listed in the "Conservation Measures" section of this BO 11 CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS Section 7(a)(1) of the Act directs federal agencies to use their

Pamlico River Basin with a stream classification of WS -IV, NSW Tar -Pam allowable buffer impacts will occur at this stream crossing There are no wetlands This is a Section 7 (Threatened & Endangered Species) project due to the likelihood of mussels BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND MAJOR STRUCTURES Best Management Practices (BMPs) and measures used on the project to reduce stormwater impacts are listed below All stormwater being discharged through the buffers is diffuse flow BRIDGE The existing bridge is 8 spans, 140' total length, with sloping concrete abutments There are problems with scour under the concrete abutment, vertical scoured banks, and an ongoing debris problem The proposed bridge is 3 spans (1 @30' 1 @100' 1@35'),165' total length, with 2 12' lanes and 3' shoulders for a total clear roadway width of 30 on the bridge The proposed bridge will span the channel Deck drains will be omitted over the channel, and will be placed in the overbank areas only Approximately 23 of additional floodplain width will be provided under the bridge by removal of existing embankment This additional width will also increase the current buffer width under the bridge The existing conc abutments extend into the channel which has scoured out under the abutment at Sta 16 +85 —L -, np rap currently stabilizes the abutment at Sta 16 +05 —L- The existing conc abutments will be removed and replaced with np rap on the banks to prevent the erosion that currently exists MISCELLANEOUS 2 1 or steeper fill slopes are used through the buffer zones to reduce impacts There are currently two points of concentrated flow into the buffers, which are small gullies on the upstream side (NW & SW quadrants) The flow into the buffers on the dowstream side is essentially sheet flow In the SE quadrant there is an existing swale that terminates dust inside the buffers with a berm and some rip rap where it turns to sheet flow In the NE quadrant there is a poorly defined ditch that turns to sheet flow Page 1 of 2 after passing through an existing np rap check dam prior to reaching the buffers There are no signs of erosion in either of these downstream quadrants The proposed design pipes the ditch flow from the upstream quadrants (removing it from the gullies) to the respective downstream quadrants where existing conditions are stable The existing swale in the SE quadrant will be retained and a new rock check dam will be installed in the NE quadrant to replace the existing one that is under the proposed fill Although this represents an increase of flow in the downstream quadrants it will provide an improvement in velocities and infiltration over the current gullies Page 2 of 2 Nil 111111111111111 III Ilvl II III $$$$$$SYSTIME$$$$$ $$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$DGN$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$USERNAME$$$$ 09/08/9 C )NI 'RACT: TIP PROJECT: B-3841 mi ml S v a mI 4° II CID 0 w 0 3 ID N • m 7 3 m m S S N 70 O C O.
