Subject: Nationwide Permit 23 Application for the proposed replacement of Bridge No.
141 over Spurgeon Creek on SR 1741 in Davidson County, Federal Aid Project No.
BRSTP-1741(3), State Project No. 8.2604901,
WBS Element: 33457.1.1, Division 9, TIP.B-4101
Dear Sir:
Please find enclosed the Categorical Exclusion (CE) Document, pre-construction notification,
permit drawings, and design plan sheets for the proposed project. The project involves replacing
Bridge No. 141 over Spurgeon Creek on SR 1741. The existing Bridge No. 141 is 75 feet in length
with a clear deck width of 26-feet. The existing two lane bridge has a reinforced concrete deck on I-
beams supported by reinforced concrete caps and timber piles at approximately 35-foot centers. It is
proposed that the current bridge be replaced with a single span box beam bridge. The new bridge
will be 85-feet in length and will be constructed on the same location as the existing bridge. The
new bridge will span Spurgeon Creek. During construction, atwo-lane, two-way on-site temporary
detour bridge will be constructed northeast of the existing bridge to maintain traffic. The temporary
detour bridge will span both Spurgeon Creek and UT1 to Spurgeon Creek. No bents will be located
in Spurgeon Creek or UT1 for the temporary detour bridge and the stream banks are not to be
disturbed. The detour will be 877-feet in length and will be 12-feet wide.
IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES
General Description: The project is located in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin, subbasin 03-07-08
with a Hydrologic Unit Code of 03040103. Spurgeon Creek has a Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) stream index number of 12-119-3 and is a large tributary to Abbott's Creek. A best usage
classification of WS-III has been assigned to Spurgeon Creek. There is one UT located on the
southeast side of Spurgeon Creek. This UT has the same DWQ stream index and classification as
Spurgeon Creek. There are no designated High Quality Waters (HQW), Outstanding Resource
Waters (ORW), or 303(d) streams occur within 1.0-miles of the project area. There are wetlands in

the project area. A Jurisdictional Determination (Action ID. 200420755) from the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers was given for the wetlands on April 17, 2006.
Permanent Impacts: Construction of the new bridge will require filling in a portion of the wetlands
located on both the north and south sides of the new bridge. Construction of the new bridge will
result in a total of 0.02 acre of permanent riverine wetland impacts.
Temporary Impacts: There will be 0.16 acre of temporary fill in the riverine wetland associated with
Spurgeon Creek due to the construction of a temporary detour bridge. The proposed detour bridge is
to be built on the northeast side of the existing structure. The detour bridge will span both UT 1 and
Spurgeon Creek.
Utility Impacts: There will be no jurisdictional impacts from utility relocations due to this bridge
replacement project.
Bride Demolition: Bridge No. 141 has a reinforced concrete deck on I-beams supported by
reinforced concrete caps 'and timber piles at approximately 35-foot centers. The bridge has an
overall length of 75-feet and is 26-feet wide. The bridge will be removed without dropping any
components into waters of the United States. NCDOT's Best Management Practices for Bridge
Demolition and Removal will be followed.
RESTORATION PLAN
Following construction, all material used in the construction of the new bridge as well as the detour
bridge will be removed. The impacted areas associated with the bridge are expected to recover
naturally, since the natural streambed and plant material will not be effected. NCDOT does not
propose any additional planting in this area. Class I riprap and filter fabric will be used for bank
stabilization. Pre-project elevations will be restored. NCDOT will restore the wetlands to their pre-
project contours. After the detour's purpose has been served the material used for installation of the
temporary detour bridge will be removed and the areas will be restored to original contours.
REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL PLAN
The contractor will be required to submit a reclamation plan for the removal of and disposal of all
material off-site at an upland location. The contractor will use excavation equipment for removal of
any earthen material. Heavy~Iuty trucks, dozers, cranes and various other pieces of mechanical
equipment necessary for construction of roadways and culverts will be used on site. All material
placed in the stream will be removed from the stream at that time. The contractor will have the
option of reusing any of the materials that the engineer deems suitable in the construction of project.
After the erosion control devices are no longer needed, all temporary materials will become the
property of the contractor.
FEDERALLY PROTECTED SPECIES
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed Endangered
and Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of January 29, 2007, the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists three federally protected species for Davidson County. Table 1 lists
the species, their status and biological conclusion.

Table 1. Federally-Protected Species for Davidson County, NC
Common Name Scientific Name Federal
Status Habitat
Present Biological Conclusion
Bald eagle Haleaeetus leucephalus T No No Effect
Schweinitz's
sunflower Helianthus schweinitzii E Yes No Effect
Bog turtle Clemmys muhlenbergii T (S/E) N/A Not Required
A Biological Conclusion of "No Effect" was given in the CE for the bald eagle and Schweinitz's
sunflower. Afield survey for Schweinitz's sunflower was conducted in October 6, 2006 by
NCDOT Biologists. No plants were observed during the 2006 survey. With the above information it
is the conclusion of NCDOT that the original call of "No Effect" is still valid for the Schweinitz's
sunflower.
Biological Conclusions are not required for the bog turtle since T (S/A) species are not afforded full
protection under the ESA. No potential habitat occurs within the project area. No populations of
this species have been reported in the project area. Therefore, the proposed project is not
anticipated to result in an adverse impact to this species.
MITIGATION OPTIONS
Avoidance and Minimization and Compensatory Miti ation: The NCDOT is committed to
incorporating all reasonable and practicable design features to avoid and minimize jurisdictional
impacts, and to provide full compensatory mitigation of all remaining, unavoidable jurisdictional
impacts. Avoidance measures were taken during the planning and NEPA compliance stages;
minimization measures were incorporated as part of the project design.
According to the Clean Water Act (CWA) §404(b)(1) guidelines, NCDOT must avoid, minimize,
and mitigate, in sequential order, impacts to waters of the US. The following is a list of the
project's jurisdictional stream avoidance/minimization activities proposed or completed by NCDOT:
Avoidance/Minimization:
• The proposed bridge will be replaced on its existing location.
• In-stream activity will be limited.
• Use of 2:1 fill slopes in jurisdictional area.
• No staging of construction equipment or storage of construction supplies will be allowed in
wetlands or near surface waters.
• The contractor will follow contract specifications pertaining to erosion control measures as
outlined in 23 CFR 650 Subpart B and Article 107-13 entitled "Control of Erosion, Siltation,
and Pollution" (NCDOT, Specifications for Roads and Structures).
• Temporary construction impacts due to erosion and sedimentation will be minimized through
implementation of stringent erosion control methods and use of Best Management Practices
(BMPs).
• The onsite detour will serve two bridge replacement projects, B-4100 and B-4101.
Compensatory Miti ation: Due to the minimal amount of impacts, no compensatory mitigation is
proposed.

SCHEDULE
The project calls for a letting of January 15, 2008 with a date of availability of February 26, 2008.
Permits are needed by the review date of November 27, 2007. It is expected that the contractor will
choose to start construction as soon as possible after the date of availability.
REGULATORY APPROVALS
Section 404 Permit: The project is 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 (FR number 10, pages 2020-2095; January 15,
2002).
Section 401 Permit: We anticipate General Certification number 3632 will apply to this project. All
general conditions of the Water quality Certifications will be met. Therefore, in accordance with
15A NCAC 2H, Section .0500(a) and 15A NCAC 2B.0200 we are providing two copies of this
application to the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, Division of
Water Quality, for their notification.

VIII. Mitigation
Page 5 of 8

DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H :0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division
of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater
wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including
size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource
will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as
proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not
limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland
vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource
functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values,
preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for
USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a
required mitigation plan or NCEEP 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 : /,'h2 0 . enr.state. nc. us/ncwetl and s/s trm gi d e. html.

T.I.P. No. B-4101
INTRODUCTION: The replacement of Bridge No. 141 is included in the North Carolina
Department of Transportation 2004-2010 Transportation Improvement Program and the Federal-
Aid Bridge Replacement Program. The USGS map indicates Bridge No. 141 is over Spurgeon
Creek, not Abbotts Creek as shown in the TIP. Local officials also confirmed this bridge is over
Spurgeon Creek. The location is shown in Figure 1. No substantial environmental impacts are
anticipated. The project is classified as a Federal "Categorical Exclusion."
I. PURPOSE AND NEED STATEMENT
Bridge Maintenance Unit records indicated the bridge has a sufficiency rating of 36.2 out of a
possible 100 for a new structure. The bridge is considered functionally obsolete and structurally
deficient. The replacement of this inadequate structure will result in safer and more efficient
traffic operations.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
SR 1741 (Wallburg-High Point Road) crosses over Spurgeon Creek at the northeast corner of
Davidson County approximately 0.6 mile west of its junction with SR 1746 (Willie Bodenheimer
Road) and approximately 0.8 mile east of its junction with NC 109. Development along the
western approach of the bridge is agricultural and residential. A large pond is located in the
immediate area of the bridge in the southwest quadrant. A cultivated field is located in the
northwest quadrant. The western approach is on a slight horizontal curve that ends just before
the bridge. The eastern approach is on a tangent with a horizontal curve beginning about 400
feet from the bridge. Development along the eastern approach is residential. Creek Side North
Subdivision is located in the northeast quadrant and the Creek Side Subdivision is located in the
southeast quadrant. SR 1741 is classified as an Urban Minor Arterial in the Statewide Functional
Classification System.
SR 1741 has a current pavement width of 20 feet with 6-foot grass shoulders in the area of the
bridge. The roadway approaches are tangents on downgrades toward the bridge. The vertical
sag occurs at the bridge; however, the bridge structure itself is flat.
1

The 2005 estimated traffic volumes on SR 1741 at Spurgeon Creek are 2400 vehicles per day
(vpd) and for the design year 2025 the estimated traffic volumes are 4200 vpd. The speed limit
is 55 mph in the vicinity of the bridge.
Bridge No. 141, as shown in Figures 2A and 2B, has an overall length of 75 feet and a clear deck
width of 26 feet. The existing two-lane bridge has a reinforced concrete deck on I-beams
supported by reinforced concrete caps and timber piles at approximate 35-foot centers. The
structure was constructed in 1948. The current posted weight limit is 23 tons for single unit
vehicles and 29 tons for truck-tractor semi-trailer (TTST) vehicles. The bridge has a sufficiency
rating of 36.2 compared to a rating of 100 for a new structure. Bridge No. 141 has abed-to-
crown distance of approximately 16 feet. During the field visit, severe erosion around the piles
was observed, as well as debris on the bridge as a result of heavy rain.
Two accidents were reported in the vicinity of the bridge during the period from April 1, 1999 to
March 31, 2002. The accident rate is 304.41 accidents per 100 million vehicle miles (MVM).
The statewide average accident rate for rural secondary routes (two lanes undivided) for the
three-year period 2000-2002 is 347.58 accidents per 100 MVM.
There are overhead power lines along the north and south sides of SR 1741 crossing over the
creek and SR 3049. There are no utilities attached to the bridge.
Public school buses cross the present bridge 14 times per day. The School Transportation
Director indicated that re-routing the school bus route would be difficult and that an acceptable
turn around is preferred.
III. ALTERNATIVES
A. Project Description
NCDOT proposes to replace Bridge No. 141 with a new bridge approximately 85 feet long with
a clear roadway width of 40 feet. The final length of the bridge will be determined in final
design. New approaches to the bridge will provide 12-foot travel lanes in each direction with 8-
foot shoulders [2-foot paved]. The proposed cross sections are shown in Figure 3. The design
speed will be 60 mph.
B. Detailed Study Alternatives
The studied alternatives were: (1) to replace Bridge No. 141 with a new bridge in the existing
location, closing SR 1741 and utilizing anoff--site detour; and (2) to replace Bridge No. 141 at its
2

existing location maintaining traffic with a temporary detour structure on the north side. The
alternates are shown in Figures 4 and 5. Replacing Bridge No. 141 at its existing location while
maintaining traffic with a temporary detour structure on the south side was considered, but a
temporary detour on the south side would impact the pond; therefore, this alternate was removed
from consideration. The posted speed limit is 55 mph and the corresponding design speed is 60
mph. The existing grade at the crossing will be raised 2-3 feet.
Alternate 1, replaces Bridge No. 141 with a new bridge in the existing location, closing SR 1741
and utilizing anoff-site detour. The possible off-site detour route suggested by the Division
includes utilizing SR 1746 (Willie Bodenheimer Road), SR 1747 (Jerry Clodfelter Road) and NC
109. SR 1746 and SR 1747 are narrow bituminous surface treated roads. The posted speed limit
for the detour route is 45 mph. The detour is approximately 5.8 miles in length.
Alternate 2, replaces Bridge No. 141 at its existing location and maintains traffic with a
temporary detour structure on the north side. The estimated cost of the temporary detour
structure is $ 375,000.
Bridge No. 141 is located approximately 0.8 mile southwest of the junction of SR 1741 and NC
109. NC 109 runs the entire length of the County, and connects to I-85 Business and I-85, which
provides east/west access.
C. Alternatives Eliminated from Further Study
The No-Build or "do-nothing" alternative was also considered but this alternative would
eventually necessitate closure of the bridge. This is not a desirable alternative due to the traffic
service provided by SR 1741.
Investigation of the existing structure by the NCDOT Bridge Maintenance Unit indicates
rehabilitation of Bridge No. 141 is not feasible due to its age and deteriorated condition. The
existing bridge is classified as structurally deficient.
D. Preferred Alternative
Alternate 2, replacing Bridge No. 141 at its existing location and maintaining traffic with a
temporary detour structure on the north side is the preferred alternative. Alternate 2 was selected
because it is the only feasible alternate available after further study.
In accordance with the NCDOT Guidelines for Evaluation of Offsite Detours for Bridge
Replacement Projects (Apri12004), the average delay per motorist using the proposed detour for
3

Alternate 1 is estimated to range from 7-8 minutes for a construction period of 12 months, which
falls under the Evaluation (E) range of the Guidelines. The Evaluation (E) range suggests an on-
site detour is justifiable from a traffic operations standpoint but must be weighed with other
project factors to determine if it is appropriate. Coordination with TIMS director and Emergency
Services indicate the off-site detour would be difficult for school buses and emergency response
routing. The proposed detour route is shown in Figure 6. The condition of the detour route is
not as good as the route being closed because some parts of the route, i.e. SR 1746 and SR 1747,
are narrow bituminous surface treated roads. The off-site detour may not be capable of handling
the additional traffic volumes. Public feedback indicates the off-site detour would be
inconvenient for residents of the subdivisions located near the bridge. Due to these factors, the
off-site detour is considered unacceptable under the requirements of the NCDOT guidelines and
Alternate 1 was not selected.
The new structure will be 85 feet long with a clear roadway width of 40 feet. New approaches to
the bridge will provide 12-foot travel lanes with 8-foot shoulders including 2-foot paved
shoulders. Approximately 1,400 feet of new roadway approaches will be required.
The design speed for the replacement bridge will be 60 mph; however, design exceptions for
both the horizontal and vertical alignments will be necessary. A design exception for the
horizontal alignment with a 52 mph design speed will be necessary because the proposed
alignment will be tying into an existing horizontal curve. The design exception for the vertical
curve with a design speed of 45 mph is required because maintaining a 60 mph design speed will
necessitate a longer vertical curve and raising the grade considerably. A longer vertical curve
and grade change will impact an adjacent residence and will increase the estimated cost of this
alternate.
The design speed of the temporary detour will be 45 mph, but a design exception with a design
speed of 30 mph will be required for the horizontal alignment. The design exception is
necessary because a horizontal curve that will maintain a 45 mph design speed would lengthen
the project -thus requiring additional right of way and increasing the cost of the project. Extra
traffic control will be required to slow the traffic speed to concur with the 30 mph design speed
of the temporary detour.
The estimated cost for the recommended alternate is $1,218,750. The current estimated cost of
the project, as shown in the NCDOT 2004-2010 Transportation Improvement Program, is
$60,000 for right-of--way and $600,000 for construction.
The Division Office concurs with Alternative 2 as the recommended alternate.

IV. ESTIMATED COST
The estimated costs of the alternatives studied, based on 2004 prices, are shown in the following
table:
TABLE 1. Estimated Costs
Alternate 1
Off-site Detour Alternate 2
On-site Detour
Structure Removal $ 15,600.00 $ 15,600.00
Structure $ 263,160.00 $ 263,160.00
Roadway Approaches $ 130,630.00 $ 130,630.00
Mobilization and Miscellaneous $ 100,610.00 $ 100,610.00
En ~neerin and Contingencies $ 90,000.00 $ 90,000.00
Temporary Detour N/A $ 375,000.00
SUBTOTAL $ 600,000.00 $ 975,000.00
Ri ht-of-Wa /Contt. Ease./Util. $ 203,750.00 $ 243,750.00
TOTAL $ 803,750.00 $ 1,218,750.00
The above estimates are based on functional design plans; therefore, 45 percent is included for
miscellaneous items and contractor mobilization, and 15 percent for engineering and
contingencies.
V. NATURAL RESOURCES
A. Methodology
Materials and literature supporting this investigation have been derived from a number of
sources including U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic mapping (High Point West, NC
7.5-minute quadrangle), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) National Wetlands Inventory
(NWI) mapping (High Point West, NC 7.5-minute quadrangle), Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS; formerly the Soils Conservation Service) soils mapping (SCS 1994), N.C.
Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) proposed Significant Aquatic Endangered Species
Habitats, and recent aerial photography.
Plant community descriptions are based on a classification system utilized by the N.C. Natural
Heritage Program (NHP) (Schafale and Weakley 1990). When appropriate, community
classifications were modified to better reflect field observations. Vascular plant names generally
follow nomenclature found in Radford et al. (1968) with adjustments for updated nomenclature
(Kartesz 1998). Jurisdictional areas were evaluated using the three-parameter approach
5

following U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) delineation guidelines (DOA 1987).
Jurisdictional areas were characterized according to a classification scheme established by
Cowardin et al. (1979) and/or the N.C. Division of Environmental Management (DEM) Field
Guide to North Carolina Wetlands (1996). Aquatic and terrestrial wildlife habitat requirements
and distributions were determined by supportive literature (Martof et al. 1980, Potter et al. 1980,
Webster et al. 1985, Menhinick 1991, Palmer and Braswell 1995, and Rohde et al. 1994). Water
quality information for area streams and tributaries was derived from available sources (DWQ
2000, DWQ 2002, DWQ 2004a-b). Quantitative sampling was not undertaken to support
existing data.
The most current FWS listing of federally protected species with ranges extending into Davidson
County (February 11, 2003 FWS list) is considered in this report. In addition, NHP records
documenting the presence of federally or state listed species were consulted before commencing
field investigations. In addition, Significant Aquatic Endangered Species Habitats proposed by
the NCWRC (December 11, 1998 listing) were consulted to determine the presence of Proposed
Critical Habitats for aquatic species.
The project area (Figure 7) was walked and visually surveyed for significant features. The
project area is approximately 300 feet in width (centered on the existing roadway) and about
1950 feet in length, encompassing approximately 13.5 acres. Potential construction impacts will
be limited to cut-fill boundaries for each alternative. Special concerns evaluated in the field
include: 1) potential protected species habitat, and 2) wetlands and water quality protection of
Spurgeon Creek.
B. Physiography and Soils
The project area is located within the Southern Outer Piedmont ecoregion of North Carolina.
This ecoregion is characterized by rolling foothills, gently rounded to steep slopes containing
moderate gradient streams with cobble, gravel, sand, and silt substrates. The project area is
located within a sloping floodplain valley. Elevations within the project area range from a high
of approximately 836 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) to a low of approximately
777 feet NGVD within the stream channel. Land uses within and adjacent to the project area
consist of woodlands, residential, agriculture, and roadside shoulders.
Based on soil mapping for Davidson County (SCS 1994), the project area is underlain by two
soil series: Chewacla loam (Fluvaquentic Dystrochrepts) and Pacolet sandy loams (Typic
Kanhapludults). Chewacla loam occurs adjacent to the stream, and the Pacolet sandy loams are
found on the slopes and ridges. Chewacla loam is considered non-hydric with hydric inclusions
in Davidson County (NRCS 1997).
6

The Chewacla series (0 to 2 percent slopes) consists of poorly drained soil in floodplains that
were formed in recent alluvium. This soil tends to be flooded frequently. Permeability is
moderate, depth to bedrock is greater than 5 feet, and the seasonal high water table occurs
between 0.5 and 1.5 feet. Chewacla underlies approximately 5.0 acres, or 37 percent of the
project study area primarily in the broad floodplain of Spurgeon Creek.
The Pacolet series with 2 to 25 percent slopes consists of well-drained sandy loams on upland
ridges and side slopes. Permeability is moderate and erosion is a moderate hazard when the soil
surface is bare and unprotected. Depth to bedrock is greater than 60 inches. Pacolet underlies
approximately 7.5 acres, or 54 percent of the project study area on the uplands beyond the
floodplain.
C. Water Resources
1. Waters Impacted
The project area is located within sub-basin 03-07-07 of the Yadkin River Basin (DWQ 2000).
This area is part of USGS Hydrologic Unit 03040103 of the South Atlantic/Gulf Region. The
proposed bridge replacement spans Spurgeon Creek. The portion of Spurgeon Creek that lies
within the project area has been assigned Stream Index Number 12-119-3 by DWQ (DWQ
2004b).
2. Water Resources Characteristics
The project area contains three streams: Spurgeon Creek and two unnamed tributaries to
Spurgeon Creek (Figure 7). Spurgeon Creek generally flows southward through the middle of
the project area. The larger of the two unnamed tributaries (UT1) is located in the northeastern
quadrant formed by the intersection of Walburg-High Point Road and Spurgeon Creek. UT1
flows from northeast to southwest to a confluence with Spurgeon Creek approximately 40 feet
north of the existing bridge. The smaller of the two unnamed tributaries (UT2) is located in the
southwestern quadrant formed by the intersection of Walburg-High Point Road and Spurgeon
Creek. UT2 flows eastward to a confluence with Spurgeon Creek outside the project area.
Spurgeon Creek enters the project area as awell-defined, third-order, perennial stream with
moderate flow over a sand, silt and clay substrate (containing some boulders). At Bridge No.
141, Spurgeon Creek is approximately 20 feet wide. The banks of Spurgeon Creek are about 15
feet high and steeply sloping. During field investigations, the water level appeared low and
about 1-foot deep. Water clarity was good, with visibility to the substrate, and flow-velocity was
7

moderate. No persistent emergent aquatic vegetation was observed within the stream.
Opportunities for habitat within Spurgeon Creek include overhanging trees, undercut banks,
fallen logs, and leaf packs.
A pond occupies a large portion of the southwest quadrant of the project area. The pond is fed
by UT2 and empties into Spurgeon Creek outside the project area.
UT1 enters the project area as awell-defined, second-order, perennial stream with moderate flow
over a fine sand and silt substrate. The banks of UT1 are about 8 feet high and steeply sloping.
During field investigations, the water level appeared low and was about 1-foot in depth. Water
clarity was good, with visibility to the substrate, and flow-velocity was moderate. No persistent
emergent aquatic vegetation was observed within the stream. Opportunities for habitat within
UT1 include overhanging trees, undercut banks, and leaf packs.
UT2 enters the project area as awell-defined, first order, perennial stream with low flow over a
fine sand and silt substrate. The banks of UT2 ranged from 1 to 2 feet. During field
investigations, the water level appeared low and was about 6 inches deep. Water clarity was
good, with visibility to the substrate, and flow-velocity was low. Persistent emergent aquatic
vegetation was observed within the stream. Opportunities for habitat within UT2 include
overhanging trees, undercut banks, fallen logs, and leaf packs.
The DWQ has assembled a list of impaired waterbodies according to the Clean Water Act
Section 303(d) and 40 CFR 130.7, hereafter referred to as the N.C. 2004 Section 303(d) list. The
list is a comprehensive public accounting of all impaired waterbodies. An impaired waterbody is
one that does not meet water quality standards including designated uses, numeric and narrative
criteria, and anti-degradation requirements defined in 40 CFR 131. The standards violation may
be due to an individual pollutant, multiple pollutants, pollution, or an unknown cause of
impairment. The impairment could be from point sources, nonpoint sources, and/or atmospheric
deposition. Some sources of impairment exist across state lines. North Carolina's methodology
is strongly based on the aquatic life use support guidelines available in the Section 305(b)
guidelines (EPA-841-B-97-002A and -002B). Those streams attaining only Partially Supporting
(PS) or Not Supporting (NS) status are listed on the N.C. 2004 Section 303(d) list. Streams are
further categorized into one of six parts within the N.C. 2004 Section 303(d) list, according to
source of impairment and degree of rehabilitation required for the stream to adequately support
aquatic life. Within Parts 1, 4, 5, and 6 of the list, North Carolina has developed a priority
ranking scheme (low, medium, high) that reflects the relative value and benefits those
waterbodies provide to the State. Spurgeon Creek, UT1, and UT2 are not listed on any section of
the N.C. 2004 Section 303(d) list (DWQ 2002).
8

Classifications are assigned to waters of the State of North Carolina based on the existing or
contemplated best usage of various streams or segments of streams in the basin. A Best Usage
Classification of WS-III has been assigned to this reach of Spurgeon Creek and its unnamed
tributaries. Class WS-III waters are protected as water supplies which are generally in low to
moderately developed watersheds, and are suitable for all class C uses. Class C waters are
suitable for aquatic life propagation and protection, agriculture, and secondary recreation.
Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses not involving human body contact
with waters on an organized or frequent basis. No designated High Quality Waters (HQW),
Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), Water Supply I (WS-I), Water Supply II (WS-II) waters,
or watershed Critical Areas (CA) occur within 1.0 mile of the project area (DWQ 2002).
Pursuant to the NCDWQ Red Book (15 A NCAC 02B.0100 and .0200, August 1, 2004),
vegetative buffers are required for all new development along all WS-III and WS-IV perennial
waters indicated on the most recent versions of USGS 7.5-minute topographic mapping. The
buffer width is determined by the development density option chosen by local governments. A
minimum 100-foot vegetative buffer is required for non-residential development activities that
exceed the low-density option; otherwise, a 30-foot buffer is required and stormwater runoff
must be transported by vegetated conveyances to the maximum extent practicable. Public road
projects may be allowed within the buffer where no practicable alternative exists, as long as
built-upon area is minimized, runoff is directed away from surface waters, and the use of Best
Management Practices (BMPs) is maximized.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has initiated awhole-basin approach to water quality
management for the 17 river basins within the state. Water quality for the proposed project area
is summarized in the Yadkin River Basinwide Water Quality Plan (DWQ 2000). Spurgeon
Creek is currently listed by DWQ as Supporting its designated uses. No benthic
macroinvertebrate monitoring stations occur within one mile of the project area (DWQ 2000).
Sub-basin 03-07-07 of the Yadkin River Basin supports 13 permitted, point source discharges
with a total discharge of over 15.8 million gallons per day. Three of the permitted discharges are
classified as major dischargers, discharging 15.7 million gallons per day. The 10 remaining
permitted dischargers are minor, with one having no limits set on discharges (DWQ 2004a).
Major non-point sources of pollution within the Yadkin Basin include runoff from construction
activities, agriculture, timber harvesting, hydrologic modification, failing septic systems, roads,
parking lots, and roof tops. Sedimentation and nutrient inputs are major problems associated
with non-point source discharges (DWQ 2000).
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has developed a Significant
Aquatic Endangered Species Habitat database to enhance planning and impact analysis in areas
9

proposed by the NCWRC as being critical due to the presence of Endangered or Threatened
aquatic species. No Significant Aquatic Endangered Species Habitat occurs within the project
study area. The neazest Significant Aquatic Endangered Species Habitat within the Yadkin River
Basin occurs approximately 7.6 miles to the southeast in the Uwharrie River (NCWRC 1998) in
sub-basin 03-07-09 (DWQ 2000).
3. Anticipated Impacts to Water Resources
a) GeneralImpacts
Impacts to water resources in the project area may result from activities associated with project
construction. Activities that would result in impacts are clearing and grubbing on streambanks,
riparian canopy removal, in-stream construction, fertilizers and pesticides used in revegetation,
and pavement/culvert installation. The following impacts to surface water resources could result
from the construction activities mentioned above.
• Increased sedimentation and siltation downstream of the crossing and increased erosion
in the project area.
• Alteration of stream discharge due to silt loading acid changes in surface and groundwater
drainage patterns.
• Changes in light incidence and water clarity due to increased sedimentation and
vegetation removal.
• Changes in and destabilization of water temperature due to vegetation removal.
• Alteration of water levels and flows due to interruptions and/or additions to surface and
ground water flow from construction.
• Increased nutrient loading during construction via runoff from exposed areas.
• Increased concentrations of toxic compounds in roadway runoff.
• Increased potential for release of toxic compounds such as fuel and oil from construction
equipment and other vehicles.
The proposed bridge replacement will allow for continuation of pre-project stream flows in
Spurgeon Creek, thereby protecting the integrity of this waterway. Long-term impacts resulting
from construction are expected to be negligible. In order to minimize impacts to water
resources, NCDOT Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters will be
strictly enforced during the entire life of the project.
Temporary construction impacts due to erosion and sedimentation will be minimized through
implementation of a stringent erosion-control schedule and the use of Best Management
10

Practices (BMPs). The contractor will follow contract specifications pertaining to erosion
control measures as outlined in 23 CFR 650 Subpart B and Article 107-13 entitled Control of
Erosion, Siltation, and Pollution (NCDOT, Specifications for Roads and Structures). These
measures include the use of dikes, berms, silt basins, and other containment measures to control
runoff; elimination of construction staging areas in floodplains and adjacent to waterways; re-
seeding of herbaceous cover on disturbed sites; management of chemicals (herbicides, pesticides,
de-icing compounds) with potential negative impacts on water quality; and avoidance of direct
discharges into streams by catch basins and roadside vegetation.
b) Impacts Related to Bridge Demolition and Removal
The existing bridge has a reinforced concrete deck on steel I-beams supported by reinforced
concrete cap on timber piles. The existing bridge is expected to be removed without dropping
components into Spurgeon Creek. No Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW); Threatened,
Endangered, or anadromous species are anticipated to be impacted by this project.
D. BIOTIC RESOURCES
1. Plant Communities
Three distinct plant communities were identified within the project study area:
disturbed/maintained land, Dry-Mesic Oak-Hickory Forest, and riparian hardwood forest. Plant
communities were delineated to determine the approximate area and location of each (Figure 7).
These communities aze described below in order of their dominance within the project study
area. Wildlife directly observed in a plant community or determined to be present through
evidence (tracks, scat, burrows, etc.) during field investigations are indicated with an asterisk (*).
In addition, approximately 1.2 acres (9 percent) of the project study area is covered by open
water: Spurgeon Creek, its tributazies, and a farm pond (Figure 7).
a) Disturbed/maintained land
Approximately 10 acres (74 percent) of the project study area is composed of
disturbed/maintained land. This community includes roadside shoulders, agricultural fields, a
utility line corridor, and residential lots located throughout most of the project study area outside
the floodplain of Spurgeon Creek. Along roadside shoulders and agricultural land margins,
grasses and herbs dominate the vegetation. Representative species include Carolina cranesbill
(Geranium carolinianum), rafinesque violet (Viola raftnesquii), clover (Trifolium sp.), wild
onion (Allium canadense), buttercups (Ranunculus spp.), and fescue (Festuca sp.). Residential
areas are dominated by a few relic hardwood species and cultivated species. Trees include red
11

maple (Ater rubrum), sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), flowering dogwood (Corpus
florida), and Bradford pear (Pyrus calleryana). Crapemyrtle (Lagerstroemia sp.), azalea
(Rhododendron sp. ), and fescue are included in the shrub and herb layers.
Along woodland edges and the utility line corridor, the shrub layer is sparse and consists of
scattered individuals of sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), sycamore (Platanus oxidentalis),
northern red oak (Quercus rubra), southern red oak (Quercus falcata), pignut hickory (Carya
glabra), and red maple (Ater rubrum). Vines are limited to Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera
japonica). The herb layer is scattered through this area, the majority of which is maintained by
mowing. Shrubs present include blackberry (Rubus argutus), multiflora rose (Rosa multijlora),
Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), and smooth sumac (Rhus glabra), grasses include fescue,
and representative herbs consist of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), common periwinkle (Vinca
minor), and Carolina cranesbill.
A wet area dominated by grasses and herbs is located just north of Walburg-High Point Road
approximately 600 feet west of Spurgeon Creek (Figure 7, Wetland 1). This low, moist area
supports hydrophytic species such as soft rush (Juncus effusus), arrow arum (Peltandra
virginica), lizard's tail (Saururus cernuus), and seedbox (Ludwigia sp.). Four smaller wet areas
lie south of Walburg-High Point Road. The smallest, easternmost wet area (Figure 7, Wetland 2)
contains jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), arrow arum, and seedbox. The larger, centrally located
wet area (Figure 7, Wetland 3) is mowed more often. It contains needle spikerush (Eleocharis
acicularis), soft rush, clover, and fescue. Just north and west is another wet area dominated by
herbs, inside the power line corridor (Figure 7, Wetland 4). It supports elderberry (Sambucus
canadensis), jewelweed, and soft rush.
b) Dry-Mesic Oak-Hickory Forest
Approximately 2.0 acres (15 percent) of the project study area is composed of Dry-Mesic Oak
Hickory Forest. This plant community is described by Schafale and Weakley (1990) as
occurring on mid-slopes, low ridges, upland flats, and other dry-mesic upland areas on acidic
soils throughout the Piedmont and Coastal Plain. This community occurs on slopes and uplands
in northwest quadrant of the project study area. This community consists of a mature forest
characterized by a closed canopy with a relatively open understory. One wet area was found
within this community.
On upland slopes beyond the floodplain, the canopy of this forest is dominated by white oak
(Quercus alba), black oak (Quercus velutina), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), sweet gum,
northern red oak, and mockernut hickory (Carya tomentosa): Sapling and shrub layers include
saplings of canopy species as well as flowering dogwood, sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum),
12

red maple, red cedar (Junipers virginiana), American beech (Fagus grandifolia), ironwood
(Carpinus carolinina), pignut hickory, black cherry (Prunus serotina), black gum (Nyssa
sylvatica), multiflora rose, and American strawberry-bush (Euonymous americanus). Vines
within this community are dominated by common greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), Japanese
honeysuckle, and poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans). Herbs present include toadshade
(Trillium sessile), Solomon's seal (Polygonatum biflorum), and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus
quinquefolia).
A headwater, forested wet area encompassing the northwest corner of the project area (Figure 7,
Wetland 5) is formed from leakage from an upstream pond. It is dominated by subcanopy, shrub,
and herb species. Red maple is in the subcanopy. Shrubs include southern arrow-wood
(Viburnum dentatum), ironwood, and tag alder (Alnus serulata). The herb layer includes
jewelweed.
c) Riparian Hardwood Forest
Approximately 0.4 acre (3 percent) of the project area along the floodplain of Spurgeon Creek is
made up of a riparian hardwood community. This community consists of secondary growth
characterized by numerous saplings, shrubs and a few canopy trees. The canopy is dominated by
sycamore but also contains red maple and black walnut (Juglans nigra). Sapling species include
box elder (Ater negundo), black cherry, red maple, river birch (Betula nigra), black willow
(Salix nigra), sweet gum, and American elm (Ulmus americana). Shrub and herb species consist
of spicebush (Lindera benzoin), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinese), multiflora rose, bedstraw
(Galium sp.), Virginia creeper, and jewelweed, while vines present consist of muscadine grape
(Vitus rotundifolia), common greenbrier, and Japanese honeysuckle.
2. Wildlife
Disturbed/maintained land
The ecotones provide both food and cover for eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) and
white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Birds commonly found in shrubby areas and along
forest/grassland ecotones include the omnivorous northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos),
brown thrasher (Toxostoma rufum), and brown-headed cowbird (Molothrus ater), and the seed-
eating indigo bunting* (Passerina cyanea). Insectivorous species such as eastern fence lizard
(Sceloporus undulatus) and gray treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis); and predators including black
racer (Coluber constrictor) utilize this habitat. Herptiles expected in marshy areas such as these
include spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer), northern cricket frog (Acris crepitans), and northern
water snake (Nerodia sipedon).
13

Dry-Mesic Oak-Hickory Forest
The complexity and size of this community allow for a diverse assemblage of wildlife including
forest interior species. This community should support predators such as belted kingfisher*
(Megaceryle alcyon), barred owl (Strix varia), southern ringneck snake (Diadophis punctatus),
and copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix); herbivores and seed-eaters including northern
cardinal* (Cardinalis cardinalis), gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), and white-tailed deer;
insectivores such as red bat (Lasiurus borealis), blue-gray gnatcatcher* (Polioptila caerulia), red-
eyed vireo* (Vireo olivaceus), tufted titmouse* (Baeolophus bicolor), Carolina wren*
(Thryothorus ludovicianus), Carolina chickadee (Poecile carolinensis), eastern phoebe (Sayornis
phoebe), pine warbler (Dendroica pinus), wood thrush (Hylocichla mustelina), golden-crowned
kinglet (Regulus satrapa), eastern fence lizard (Sceloporus undulatus), five-lined skink (Eumeces
fasciatus), gray treefrog, spring peeper (Pseudacris crucifer), American toad (Bufo americanus),
and slimy salamander (Plethodon glutinosus); and omnivores such as blue jay* (Cyanocitta
cristata), eastern box turtle, raccoon (Procyon lotor), and dog (Canis sp.). Herptiles expected in
marshy areas such as this include spring peeper, northern cricket frog, and northern water snake.
Riparian Hardwood Forest
Wildlife expected to be found within the shrub assemblage include those listed for the oak-
hickory forest as well as species favoring a more disturbed, edge habitat. These include
omnivores such as the eastern towee (Pipilio erythrophthalmus), gray catbird, northern
mockingbird, and eastern box turtle; herbivores and seed-eaters including eastern chipmunk
(Tamias striatus), golden mouse (Ochrotomys nuttali), and eastern cottontail; insectivores such
as red bat, southeastern shrew (Sorex longirostris), southeastern five-lined skink, eastern fence
lizard, spring peeper, American toad, and northern cricket frog; and predators of small mammals
and herptiles such as southern ringneck snake and eastern garter snake.
3. Aquatic Communities
Limited investigations resulted in no observations of aquatic reptiles. Aquatic or semi-aquatic
reptiles and amphibians expected to occur within the project area vicinity include green frog
(Rana clamitans), eastern musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus), and two-lined salamander
(Eurycea bislineata).
No sampling was undertaken in Spurgeon Creek to determine fishery potential and no fish
species were observed during the field survey. Fish species that may be present in this reach of
Spurgeon Creek include smaller fish species such as margined madtom (Noturus insignis),
rosyside dace (Clinostomus funduloides), and spottail shiner (Notropis hudsonius).

4. Summary of Anticipated Impacts
Permanent and temporary impacts are anticipated with this project. Permanent impacts are
considered to be those impacts that occur within proposed cut-fill limits. Temporary impacts are
considered to be those impacts which occur within the cut-fill footprint associated with the
temporary detour of Alternative 2. Plant communities within the project area were delineated to
determine the approximate area and location of each. A summary of plant community areas and
the potential impacts to each is presented in Table 2.
Table 2. Plant Communities Within Cut/Fill lines of Respective Alternatives

Dry-Mesic Oak-Hickory Forest 0.0 0.0 0.02 0.02
Riparian Hardwood Forest 0.01 0.01 0.04 0.05
Total 1.19 1.19 0.72 1.91
Areas are given in acres.
Alternative 1 includes the same permanent impacts as Alternative 2 but fewer overall impacts.
However, most impacts for both alternatives are to disturbed communities. Alternative 2
includes more impacts to communities that are less disturbed.
Projected permanent impacts to natural plant communities resulting from bridge replacements
are generally restricted to narrow strips adjacent to the existing bridge and roadway approach
segments. Permanent impacts are the same for both alternatives and represent the bulk of
impacts associated with this project. Temporary impacts associated with Alternate 2 are
relatively small, and although these impacts are considered to be short-term, re-growth of this
community to pre-project stand age and ecological function will require several decades.
No significant habitat fragmentation is expected as a result of project activities since potential
improvements will be restricted to adjoining roadside margins. Construction noise and
associated disturbances are anticipated to have short-term impacts on avifauna and migratory
wildlife movement patterns.
No Significant Aquatic Endangered Species Habitat exists within or near the project area.
Impacts associated with turbidity and suspended sediments resulting from the bridge replacement
will be minimized through stringent erosion control measures.
15

Potential downstream impacts to aquatic habitat are anticipated to be avoided by bridging the
stream system to maintain regular flow and stream integrity. Short-term impacts associated with
turbidity and suspended sediments may affect benthic populations. Temporary impacts to
downstream habitat from increased sediment during construction will be minimized by the
implementation of stringent erosion control measures.
E. SPECIAL TOPICS
1. Waters of the United States
Surface waters within the project area are subject to jurisdictional consideration under Section
404 of the Clean Water Act as waters of the United States (33 CFR Section 328.3). The National
Wetlands Inventory (NWI) system for classification of wetlands and deepwater habitats was used
to determine the type of each wetland present (Cowardin et al. 1979). Section 404 jurisdictional
areas are depicted by Figure 7.
Spurgeon Creek exhibits characteristics of awell-defined, third-order, perennial stream with
moderate flow over a sand, silt, and clay substrate. Spurgeon Creek can be classified as riverine,
lower perennial with an unconsolidated bottom composed primarily of gravel and sand (R2UB2)
(Figure 7). UTl can be classified as awell-defined, second-order, riverine, lower perennial
stream with an unconsolidated bottom composed primarily of sand and silt (R2UB3) (Figure 7,
UT1). UT2 can be classified as awell-defined, first-order, riverine, lower perennial stream, with
low flow over a fine silt substrate (R2UB3) (Figure 7, UT2).
A pond is located in the southwest quadrant of the project area. It can be classified as palustrine,
open water, and permanently flooded (POWH) (Figure 7, Pond). The pond is fed by UT2 and
empties into Spurgeon Creek outside the project area.
Vegetated wetlands are defined by the presence of three primary criteria: hydric soils,
hydrophytic vegetation, and evidence of hydrology at or near the surface for a portion (12.5
percent) of the growing season (DOA 1987). The project area contains five vegetated wetland
areas (Figure 7, Wetlands 1 through 5).
A forested wetland associated with the headwaters of UT2 occurs in the southwest quadrant of
the project study area (Figure 7, Wetland 5). This area appears to collect runoff from a leak in
the dam of the upstream pond and may be defined as a palustrine, forested, broad-leaved
deciduous permanently flooded, wetland (PFO 1 H). Soils exhibit hydric chromas, while
16

hydrology indicators are inundation, surface flow, and oxidized rhizospheres. Based on the
location of this wetland beside an associated stream, this area would be considered "riverine" by
DWQ in terms of mitigation for impact.
A low, wet area lies within the power line corridor in the southwest quadrant of the project study
area (Figure 7, Wetland 4). It can be characterized as palustrine, scrub-shrub, broad-leaved
deciduous, and seasonally flooded (PSS1C). Soils exhibit hydric chromas while indicators of
hydrology are surface flow and oxidized rhizospheres. Based on the location of this wetland
beside an associated stream, this area would be considered "riverine" by DWQ in terms of
mitigation for impact.
A grass and herb dominated wet depression is located in the southwest quadrant of the project
study area, adjacent to UT2 and above a farm pond (Figure 7, Wetland 3). It can be
characterized as palustrine, scrub-shrub, broad-leaved deciduous, and seasonally flooded
(PSS 1 C) kept in a state of arrested succession by repeated mowing. Soils exhibit hydric chromas
with hydrology indicators of surface flow and oxidized rhizospheres. Based on the location of
this wetland beside an associated stream, this area would be considered "riverine" by DWQ in
terms of mitigation for impact.
A low, wet area lies just south of Walburg-High Point Road in the southwest quadrant of the
project study area (Figure 7, Wetland 2). It can be characterized as palustrine, scrub-shrub,
broad-leaved deciduous, and seasonally flooded (PSS1C) by Spurgeon Creek. Water is also
contributed by storm runoff from the road and perhaps seepage from the pond. Soils exhibit
hydric chromas with signs of inundation. Based on the location of this wetland within the
Spurgeon Creek floodplain, this area would be considered "riverine" by DWQ in terms of
mitigation for impact.
A grass and herb dominated wet depression is located in the northwest quadrant of the project
study area. It can be characterized as palustrine, scrub-shrub, broad-leaved deciduous, and
seasonally flooded (PSS 1 C) (Figure 7, Wetland 1) kept in a state of arrested succession by
repeated mowing. Soils exhibit hydric chromas with hydrology indicators of inundation and
oxidized rhizospheres. Based on the location of this wetland within the Spurgeon Creek
floodplain, this area would be considered "riverine" by DWQ in terms of mitigation for impact.
Both alternatives contain an identical replacement in-place component, while Alternate 2 also
contains a temporary on-site detour component. Permanent impacts associated with both
alternatives will occur to the disturbed/maintained wetland in the northwest quadrant (Figure 7,
Wetland 1), and the smallest disturbed/maintained wetland in the southwest quadrant (Figure 7,
17

Wetland 2). The Alternate 2 temporary detour includes slightly more temporary impacts to the
disturbedlmaintained wetland in the northwest quadrant (Figure 7, Wetland 1). Alternate 2 also
includes more impacts to the less disturbed riparian hardwood forest community.
Information pertaining to jurisdictional area impacts within the project study area is summarized
in Table 3.

Since the existing bridge consists of concrete deck on I-beams supported by concrete caps on
timber piles, the existing bridge is expected to be removed without dropping components into
Spurgeon Creek.
2. Permits
Impacts to jurisdictional areas are anticipated from the proposed project. As a result,
construction activities will require permits and certifications from various regulatory agencies in
chazge of protecting the quality of public water resources.
This project is being processed as a Categorical Exclusion (CE) under Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) guidelines. The USACE has made available Nationwide Permit (NWP)
23 (67 FR 2020, 2082; January 15, 2002) for CEs due to minimal impacts to waters of the U.S.
expected with bridge construction. DWQ has made available a General 401 Water Quality
Certification for NWP 23 (GC 3403). If temporary structures are necessary for construction
activities, access fills, or dewatering of the site, then a NWP 33 (67 FR 2020, 2087; January 15,
2002) permit and the associated General 401 Water Quality Certification (GC 3366) will be
18

required. Impacts to vegetated wetlands may be authorized under NWP 3 (67 FR 2020, 2078)
and the associated General 401 Water Quality Certification (GC 3376). In the event that NWPs
23, 33, and 3 will not suffice, impacts attributed to bridge replacement and associated approach
improvements may qualify under General Bridge Permit (GP) 031 issued by the Wilmington
USACE District. DWQ has made available a General 401 Water Quality Certification for GP
031 (GC 3404). Notification to the Wilmington USACE District office is required if this general
permit is utilized.
3. Mitigation
The USACE 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, and specifically wetlands. Mitigation of wetland impacts has
been defined by the CEQ to include: avoiding impacts (to wetlands), minimizing 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.
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 USACE, 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.
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 to median widths, right-of--way widths,
fill slopes, and/or road shoulder widths. All efforts will be made to decrease impacts to surface
waters.
Compensatory mitigation is not normally considered until anticipated impacts to waters of the
United States have been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent possible. It is
recognized that "no net loss of wetlands" functions and values may not be achieved in each and
every permit action. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h), DWQ may require
compensatory mitigation for projects with greater to or equal than 1.0 acre of impacts to
jurisdictional wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total perennial stream
19

impacts. Furthermore, in accordance with 67 FR 2020, 2092; January 15, 2002, the USACE
requires compensatory mitigation when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic
environment are minimal. The size and type of the proposed project impact and the function and
value of the impacted aquatic resource are factors considered in determining acceptability of
appropriate and practicable compensatory mitigation. Appropriate and practicable compensatory
mitigation is required for unavoidable adverse impacts which remain after all appropriate and
practicable minimization has been achieved. Compensatory actions often include restoration,
preservation and enhancement, and creation of waters of the United States. Such actions should
be undertaken first in areas adjacent to or contiguous to the discharge site.
Mitigation for Section 404 jurisdictional areas may not need to be proposed for this project due
to the potentially limited nature of the impacts. However, utilization of BMPs is recommended
in an effort to minimize impacts. Temporary impacts to floodplains associated with construction
activities could be mitigated by replanting disturbed areas with native riparian species and
removal of temporary fill material upon project completion. A final determination regarding
mitigation rests with the USACE and DWQ.
F. Rare and Protected Species
1. Federal-Protected Species
Species with the federal classification of Endangered, Threatened, or officially Proposed for such
listing are protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531 et seq. ). The term "Endangered Species" is defined as "any species which is in danger of
extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range," and the term "Threatened Species"
is defined as "any species which is likely to become an Endangered species within the
foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range" (16 U.S.C. 1532).
Three federally protected species are listed for Davidson County (February 11, 2003 FWS list):
Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergii), and Schweinitz's
sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii). The bald eagle is Threatened (Proposed for Delisting), the
bog turtle is Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance (T/SA), and Schweinitz's sunflower is
Endangered.
Haliaeetus leucocephalus (Bald Eagle)
Threatened (Proposed for Delisting)
Family: Accipitridae
Date Listed: March 11,1967
20

The bald eagle is a large raptor with a wingspan greater than 6 feet. Adult bald eagles are dark
brown with a white head and tail. Immature eagles are brown with whitish mottling on the tail,
belly, and wing linings. Bald eagles typically feed on fish but may also take birds and small
mammals. In the Carolinas, nesting season extends from December through May (Potter et al.
1980). Bald eagles typically nest in tall, living trees in a conspicuous location near open water.
Eagles forage over large bodies of water and utilize adjacent trees for perching (Hamel 1992).
Disturbance activities within a primary zone extending 750 to 1500 feet from a nest tree are
considered to result in unacceptable conditions for eagles (FWS 1987). The FWS recommends
avoiding disturbance activities, including construction and tree-cutting within this primary zone.
Within a secondary zone, extending from the primary zone boundary out to a distance of 1.0 mile
from a nest tree, construction and land-clearing activities should be restricted to the non-nesting
period. The FWS also recommends avoiding alteration of natural shorelines where bald eagles
forage, and avoiding significant land-clearing activities within 1500 feet of known roosting sites.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
The project area contains open water but not enough to provide foraging habitat and no tall trees
near it for suitable nesting. According to NHP records, no bald eagle has been documented
within 1.0 mile of the project area. Based on NHP records, field observations, and professional
judgment, this project will have no effect on the bald eagle.
Clemmys muhlenbergii (Bog turtle)
Threatened due to similarity of appearance
Family: Emydidae
Date Listed: May 1,1997
The bog turtle is a small turtle reaching an adult size of approximately 3.0 to 4.0 inches. This
otherwise darkly-colored species is readily identifiable by the presence of a bright orange or
yellow blotch on the sides of the head and neck (Martof et al. 1980). The bog turtle has declined
drastically within the northern portion of its range due to over-collection and habitat alteration.
As a result, the FWS officially proposed in the January 29, 1997 Federal Register (62 FR 4229)
to list bog turtle as threatened within the northern portion of its range, and within the southern
portion of its range, which includes North Carolina. The bog turtle was proposed for listing as
threatened due to similarity of appearance (T S/A) to the northern population. The listing would
allow incidental take of bog turtles in the southern population resulting from otherwise lawful
activity. The bog turtle is typically found in bogs, marshes, and wet pastures, usually in
association with aquatic or semi-aquatic vegetation and small, shallow streams over soft bottoms
(Palmer and Braswell 1995). In North Carolina, bog turtles have a discontinuous distribution in
the Mountains and western Piedmont.
21

The project area contains wet pastures which might provide suitable habitat, but no NHP records
for the bog turtle are listed for Davidson County. The bog turtle is listed as T(S/A) due to its
similarity of appearance to another rare species listed for protection. T (S/A) species are not
subject to Section 7 consultation and a biological conclusion for this species is not required.
Helianthus schweinitzii (Schweinitz's sunflower)
Endangered
Family: Asteraceae
Date Listed: May 7,1991
Schweinitz's sunflower is an erect, unbranched, rhizomatous, perennial herb that grows to
approximately 6 feet in height. The stem may be purple, usually pubescent, but sometimes
nearly smooth. Leaves are sessile, opposite on the lower stem but alternate above; in shape they
are lanceolate and average 5 to 10 times as long as wide. The leaves are rather thick and stiff,
with a few small serrations. The upper leaf surface is rough and the lower surface is usually
pubescent with soft white hairs. Schweinitz's sunflower blooms from September to frost; the
yellow flower heads are about 0.6 inch in diameter. The current range of this species is within
approximately 60 miles of Charlotte, North Carolina, occurring on upland interstream flats or
gentle slopes, in soils that are thin or clay in texture. The species needs open areas protected
from shade or excessive competition, reminiscent of Piedmont prairies. Disturbances such as
fire maintenance or regular mowing help sustain preferred habitat (FWS 1994).
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
The project study area does contain suitable habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower within
disturbed/maintained land, specifically roadside shoulders, a utility line corridor, and forest
edges. However, NHP files reviewed on April 17, 2004 list no documentation of this species
within 2.0 miles of the project study area. In addition, detailed surveys for Schweinitz's
sunflower conducted on August 19, 2004 revealed no individuals within the project study area.
2. Federal Species of Concern and Candidate Species
The February 11, 2003 FWS list includes a category of species designated as "Federal Species of
Concern" (FSC). A species with this designation is one that may or may not be listed in the
future (formerly C2 candidate species or species under consideration for listing for which there is
insufficient information to support listing). The FSC designation provides no federal protection
under the ESA for the species listed. The February 11, 2003 FWS list also includes a category of
22

species designated as "Candidate" (C 1). A species with this designation is one that is a species
under consideration for official listing for which there is sufficient information to support listing.
NHP files list no documentation for FSC or C1 species within 2.0 miles of the project area.
3. State-Protected Species
Two FSC species are listed for Davidson County: the Carolina Darter (Etheostoma collis collis) ,
state listed as a Species of Concern, and Heller's trefoil (Lotus helleri), state listed as
Significantly Rare -Threatened. One C1 species is listed for Davidson County: Georgia aster
(Aster georgianus) listed by the state as Threatened. Carolina Darter habitat is sluggish to calm,
clear to slightly turbid creeks and small rivers over a bed of mud, sand, and rock. The reach of
Spurgeon Creek within the project area does provide suitable habitat for Carolina darter.
Heller's trefoil is typically found along roadsides and other disturbed areas such as fields and
utility right-of--ways. Georgia aster populations typically prefer roadsides, woodland borders,
dry rocky woods, and disturbed areas such as fields and utility right-of--ways. Suitable habitat
exists for this species within the project area (Amorosio 2002, LeGrand and Ha112001).
VI. CULTURAL RESOURCES
A. Compliance Guidelines
This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
of 1966, as amended, implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified at 36 CFR Part 800. Section 106
requires that for federally funded, licensed, or permitted projects having an effect on properties
listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation be given the opportunity to comment.
B. Historic Architecture
In a memorandum dated: March 10, 2004, the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office
(HPO) determined that the project would not affect any historic resources. Accordingly,
NCDOT architectural historians did not initiate a survey of the project area. A copy of this
memorandum is included in the Appendix.
C. Archaeology
In a memorandum dated: March 10, 2004, the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office
(HPO) determined that the project would not affect any historic resources. Accordingly,
23

NCDOT archaeologist did not initiate a survey of the project area. A copy of this memorandum
is included in the Appendix.
VII. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The project is expected to have an overall positive impact by replacing a potentially unsafe
bridge.
The project is considered a Federal "Categorical Exclusion" due to its limited scope and
environmental consequences.
The bridge replacement will not have an adverse effect on the quality of the human or natural
environment with the use of current NCDOT standards and specifications.
The project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulations. No
significant change in land use is expected to result from replacement of the bridge.
The studied route does not contain any bicycle accommodations, nor is it a designated bicycle
route; therefore, no bicycle accommodations have been included as part of this project.
No residential or business relocatees are anticipated as a result of the proposed project.
No adverse impacts on families or communities are anticipated.
No adverse effect on public facilities or services is anticipated. The project is not expected to
adversely affect social, economic, or religious opportunities in the area.
The proposed project is excluded from the Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA) since the
project is located within the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) urban planning area of
High Point. (7 CFR Part 658)
There are no publicly owned parks, recreational facilities, or wildlife and waterfowl refuges of
national, state, or local significance in the vicinity of the project.
The project is an air quality "neutral" project, so it is not required to be included in the regional
emissions analysis and a project level CO analysis is not required. 40 CFR Part 51 is not
applicable because the proposed project is located in an attainment area. If vegetation or wood
debris is disposed of by burning, it shall be done in accordance with applicable local laws and
regulations of the North Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) for air quality in compliance
24

with 15 NCAC 2D.0520 and 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments and the National Environmental
Policy Act. Replacement of the existing bridge will not increase or decrease traffic volumes.
The noise levels will increase during the construction period, but will only be temporary. This
evaluation completes the assessment requirements for highway traffic noise of Title 23, Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 772 and for air quality (1990 Clean Air Act Amendments and
the National Environmental Policy Act) and no additional reports are required.
The results from apre-scoping geotechnical and geoenvironmental investigation performed by
the NCDOT Geotechnical Engineering Unit showed that no underground storage tank sites or
hazardous waste sites or apparent landfills were identified within the project limits. The
geotechnical pre-scoping report is included in the Appendix.
On the basis of the above discussion, it is concluded that no significant adverse environmental
effects will result from implementation of the project.
VIII. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
A "start of study" letter was distributed to local officials and agencies requesting information and
concerns relative to the proposed study alternates. Their responses are included in the Appendix.
A newsletter was sent to property owners in the proximity of Bridge No. 141, soliciting
comments and concerns regarding the bridge replacement project. Several comments were
received from local residents who opposed an off-site detour and preferred for an on-site detour.
See the Appendix for a copy of the newsletter.
IX. AGENCY COORDINATION
Letters requesting comments and environmental input were sent to the following agencies:
US Army Corps of Engineers -Wilmington District
US Fish and Wildlife Service*
US Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service
State Clearinghouse
NC Department of Cultural Resources*
NC Division of Water Quality, NC Wildlife Resources Commission*
Planning Director, Davidson County Planning & Zoning Department
Chairman, Davidson County Commissioners
Superintendent, Davidson County Public Schools*

Sheriff, Davidson County
25

Asterisks (*) indicate agencies from which written/oral comments were received. Scoping
comments and corresponding responses are given below. Copies of the continents received are
in the Appendix.
1. United States Department of Interior -Fish and Wildlife Service
Comment: "...we recommend conducting habitat assessments and surveying any
suitable habitat in the project areas for these species [listed on the Federal List of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants or Federal Species of Concern] prior to
any further planning or on-the-ground activities to ensure that no adverse impacts occur".
Response: A survey of the project area concluded this project will not adversely affect
any threatened or endangered species or any federal species of concern.
Comment: "[Fish and Wildlife Service -Asheville Field Office officials] recommend
spanning structures, preferably bridges, in all cases".
Response: Bridge No. 141 will be replaced with a new bridge approximately 85 feet long
with a clear roadway width of 40 feet. The number of spans will be determined during
final design.
Comment: "...off-site detours, which would reduce stream-bank disturbance, are
preferable to temporary on-site crossings".
Response: Alternate 2, replacing Bridge No. 141 at its existing location and maintaining
traffic with a temporary detour structure on the north side is the preferred alternative.
Alternate 1, which would utilize anoff-site detour, was not chosen due to the condition of
the detour route and the response from the public, local school officials, and emergency
services.
2. North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
Comment: "...Spurgeon [Creek is] classified WS-III waters. Sediment and erosion
control measures should adhere to the design standards for sensitive watersheds to protect
the water supply".
Response: NCDOT, BMP's for the Protection of Surface Waters will be strictly enforced
during the entire life of the project. The necessary sedimentation and erosion control
measures will be determined during the final design and permitting process.
26

Comment: "Impacts to aquatic and terrestrial resources should be minimized. Standard
requirements and BMP's should apply".
Response: In order to minimize impacts to water resources, NCDOT BMP's for the
Protection of Surface Waters will be strictly enforced during the entire life of the project.
3. North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Comment: "There are 30-foot vegetated buffer requirements in WS waters in addition to
the requirements to minimize storm water runoff and maximize use of BMPs".
Response: Public road projects may be allowed within the buffer where no practicable
alternative exists, as long as built-upon area is minimized, runoff is directed away from
surface waters, and the use of Best Management Practices (BMPs) is maximized. In
order to minimize impacts to water resources, NCDOT BMP's for the Protection of
Surface Waters will be strictly enforced during the entire life of the project.
4. Davidson County Schools -School Transportation Director
Comment: There are 14 school bus crossings on Bridge No. 141 per day. Re-routing bus
traffic would be difficult. Acceptable turn around areas would be preferred.
Response: The preferred alternate will maintain traffic with an on-site temporary detour.
School buses will not need to be re-routed, and turn around areas will not be necessary.

Subject: Scoping Comments for Five Bridge Replacement Proposals, Stokes, Davidson, Forsyth,
and Davie Counties, North Carolina
We have reviewed the subject bridge replacement proposals and provide the following comments
in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e),
and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
Given the early stages of development for these projects, our comments are limited primarily to
the known locations of listed species and federal species of concern. When the categorical
exclusions are prepared and more information is available regarding environmental effects, we
can offer more substantive comments.
Enclosed is a species list for the four counties included in this package. This list provides the
names of species on the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants as well
as federal species of concern. Federal species of concern are not legally protected under the Act
and are not subject to any of its provisions, including section 7, unless they are formally
proposed or listed as endangered or threatened. We are including these species in our response
to give you advance notification and to request your assistance in protecting them if any are
found in the vicinity of your projects. Our records indicate the following:
Stokes County - B-4281, Bridge No. 60 on NC 8 and 89 over the Dan River (our
Log No. 4-2-04-122) -Our records for Stokes County indicate known locations of
the federally endangered James spinymussel (Pleurobema collina) in the project
area. It is likely that James spinymussel individuals would be affected by this
project; if that is the case, formal consultation will be required. In addition, there
are occurrences of the federally endangered small-anthered bittercress
(Cardamine micrantherea) near the proje<:~ area.

Davidson County - B-4100, Bridge No. 142 on SR 1741, and B-4101, Bridge
No.141 over Abbotts Creek (our Log Nos. 4-2-04-123, 4-2-04-124).
Forsyth.County - B-4112, Bridge No. 30 on SR 1631 over Muddy Creek (our
Log No. 4-2-04-125).
Davie County - B-4104, Bridge No. 21 on NC 801 over Carter Creek (our Log
No. 4-2-04-128).
Our records for these counties and project areas indicate no known locations of listed species in
the project areas. However, we recommend conducting habitat assessments and surveying any
suitable habitat in the project areas for these species prior to any further planning or
on-the-ground activities to ensure that no adverse impacts occur.
We are interested in the types of structures that will replace the existing bridges and would
recommend spanning structures, preferably bridges, ~in all cases. In addition, off-site detours,
which would reduce stream-bank disturbance, are preferable to temporary on-site crossings. We
look forward to reviewing the completed categorical exclusion documents.
If you have questions about these comments, please contact Ms. Marella Buncick of our staff at
828/258-3939, Ext. 237. In any future correspondence concerning these projects, please
reference the log numbers assigned with our comments for each project as shown above
Sincerely,
~ ~~~~

ENDANGERED, THREATENED, AND CANDIDATE SPECIES AND FEDERAL
SPECIES OF CONCERN, DAVIDSON, DAME,
FORSYTH, AND STOKES COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA
This list was adapted from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's County Species List. It is a
listing, for Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, and Stokes Counties, of North Carolina's federally listed and
proposed endangered, threatened, and candidate species and Federal species of concern (for a complete
list of rare species in the state, please contact the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program). The
information in this list is compiled from a variety of sources, including field surveys, museums and
herbaria, literature, and personal communications. The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program's
database is dynamic, with new records being added and old records being revised as new information is
received. Please note that this list cannot be considered a definitive record of listed species and Federal
species of concern, and it should not be considered a substitute for field surveys.
Critical habitat: Critical habitat is noted, with a description, for the counties where it is designated or
proposed.
Aquatic species: Fishes and aquatic invertebrates are noted for counties where they are known to occur.
However, projects may have effects on downstream aquatic systems in adjacent
counties.

Status Definition
Endangered A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range."
Threatened A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a
significant portion of its range."
Cl A taxon under consideration for official listing for which there is sufficient information to
support lisiing.
FSC A Federal species of concern--a species that may or may not be listed in the future (formerly
C2 candidate species or species under consideration for listing for which there is insufficient
information to support listing).
T(S/A) Threatened due to similarity of appearance (e.g., American alligator )-a species that is
threatened due to similarity of appearance with other raze species and is listed for its protection.
Thesespecies are not biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7
consultation.
Species with 1, 2, 3, or 4 asterisks behind them indicate historic, obscure, or incidental records.
*Historic record -the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago.
**Obscure record -the date and/or location of observation is uncertain.
***IncidentaUmigrant record -the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat.
****Historic record -obscure and incidental record.
rIn the November 4, 1997, Federal Register (55822-55825), the northern population of the bog turtle (from New
York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from Virgirria south to Georgia)
was listed as T(S/A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S/A) designation bans the collection and
interstate and international commercial trade of bog turtles from the southern population. The T(S/A) designation
has no effect on land-management activities by private landowners in North Carolina, part of the southern
population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S/A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers
the southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss.

Project Development and Environmental Analysis Branch, NCDOT
FROM: Marla Chambers, Highway Projects Coordinator ~Ct~Z~~L ~~ul.z~-~ ----
Habitat Conservation Program, NCWRC
DATE: August 12, 2004
SUBJECT: Scoping review ofNCDOT's proposed replacement of Bridge No. 142 on SR
1741 over Abbotts Creek and Bridge No. 141 on SR 1741 over Sprugeon Creek,
Davidson County. TIP Nos. B-4100 and B-4101.
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is requesting comments from the
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) regarding impacts to fish and
wildlife resources resulting from the subject project. Staffbiologists have reviewed the
information provided and have the following preliminary comments. These comments aze
provided in accordance with the 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.S.C.
661-667d). - .
Our standazd recommendations for bridge replacement projects of 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.
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

Abbotts & Sprugeon Creeks, Davidson Co. August 12, 2004
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 ofnot 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 azea 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 stream
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' permit.
8. In streams that contain threatened or endangered species, Mr. Logan Williams with the
NCDOT -ONE 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.
11. Sedimentation and erosion control measures sufficient to protect aquatic resources must
be implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities. Structures should be
. maintained regulazly, especially following rainfall events.
12. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within
15 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 azea.
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.

B-4100 & B-4101, SR 1741 3
Abbotts & Sprugeon Creeks, Davidson Co. August 12, 2004
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.
17. If culvert installation is being considered, conduct subsurface investigations prior to
structure design to determine design options and constraints and to ensure that wildlife
passage issues are addressed.
If corrugated metal pipe arches, reinforced concrete pipes, or concrete box culverts are
used:
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 end 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 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 sediments 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, the 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 water
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.
Inmost 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

B-4100 & B-4101, SR 1741 4
Abbotts &Sprugeon Creeks, Davidson Co. August 12, 2004
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. Tall fescue should not be used in riparian areas. If the area that is reclaimed
was previously wetlands, NCDOT should restore the area to wetlands. If successful, the site may
be used as wetland mitigation for the subject project or other projects in the watershed.
Project specific comments:
B-4100 and B-4101, Davidson Co., Bridge No. 142 on SR 1741 over Abbotts Creek and
Bridge No. 141 on SR 1741 over Sprugeon Creek. Both Abbotts and Sprugeon Creeks are
classified WS-III waters. Sediment and erosion control measures should adhere to the design
standazds for sensitive watersheds to protect the water supply. No other special concerns are
indicated at this time. Impacts to aquatic and terrestrial resources should be minimized.
Standard requirements and BMP's should apply.
We request that NCDOT routinely minimize adverse impacts to fish and wildlife
resources in the vicinity of bridge replacements. The NCDOT should install and maintain
sedimentation control measures throughout the life of the project and prevent wet concrete from
contacting water in or entering into these streams. Replacement of bridges with spanning
structures of some type, as opposed to pipe or box culverts, is recommended in most cases.
Spanning structures allow wildlife passage along streambanks, reducing habitat fragmentation
and vehicle related mortality at highway crossings.
If you need further assistance or information on NCWRC concerns regarding bridge
replacements, please contact me at [phone]. Thank you for the opportunity to review and
comment on this project.

The Project Development and Environmental Analysis Branch of the North
Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has begun studying proposed
improvements to the subject bridge replacement projects. The projects are included in the
NCDOT's 2004-2010 Transportation Improvement Program and are scheduled for right-
of-way in fiscal year 2005 and construction in fiscal year 2007.
B-4100, Bridge No. 142 on SR 1741 over Abbotts Creek
The existing two-lane structure, constructed in 1949, crosses over Abbotts Creek
and is 106 feet long and 24 feet wide.
The following alternatives will be studied for this bridge project:
- Do-Nothing
- Rehabilitate the Existing Structure
- Replace on the north side maintaining traffic on the existing structure as an
on-site detour.
- Replace at existing location maintaining traffic with a temporary structure
and detour on north side.
B-4101, Bridge No. 141 on SR 1741 over Abbotts Creek
The existing two-lane structure, constructed in 1948, crosses over Abbotts Creek
and is 75 feet long and 24 feet wide.

- Do-Nothing
- Rehabilitate the Existing Structure
- Replace at existing location by closing the existing roadway and
maintaining traffic with anoff--site detour.
- Replace at existing location maintaining traffic with a temporary structure
and detour on north side (note: this alternative will not be pursued if
preliminary investigation indicates that the temporary detour will require a
taking of the house adjacent to the roadway and creek in the northeast
quadrant).
- Replace at existing location maintaining traffic with a temporary structure
and detour on south side.
If the structure is replaced at its existing location utilizing anoff-site detour route,
SR 1741 will be closed to through traffic during the construction of the replacement
structure. If you feel this would create undue travel hardships to the community please
advise. Any comments regarding potential impacts to School Bus Routings and
Emergency Response Units (fire, rescue, police, etc.) would be especially helpful.
We would appreciate any information you have that would be helpful in
evaluating potential community and environmental impacts of the above projects. If
applicable, please identify any permits and/or approvals required by your agency.
Please note that there will be no formal interagency scoping meeting for these
projects. This letter constitutes solicitation for scoping comments related to the projects.
It is desirable that you respond by March 31, 2004, so that your comments can be used in
the preparation of a proposed Categorical Exclusion for the above projects. You may
have previously been contacted concerning these bridge replacement projects, please note
that the alternatives may have changed or additional alternatives may have been added.

the project study area that are or may be contaminated and therefore result in increased project
costs and future liability if acquired by the Department. GeoEnvironmental impacts may include,
but are not limited to, active and abandoned underground storage tank (UST) sites, hazardous
waste sites, regulated landfills and unregulated dumpsites.
Techniques/Methodologies Used
The Geographical Information System (GIS} was consulted to identify known environmentally
impacting sites in relation to the project corridor. GeoEnvironmental Section personnel
conducted a field reconnaissance survey along the project corridor on April 26, 2004.
Findings
Underground Storage Tank (UST) Facilities
Based on our study, there are no UST sites identified within the project limits.
Hazardous Waste Sites
No Hazardous Waste Sites were identified within the project limits.
Land Fills
No apparent landfills were identified within the project limits.
Other GeoEnvironmental Concerns
No additional sites were encountered within the project limits.
Anticipated Impacts
We anticipate no monetary or scheduling impacts resulting from contaminated properties within
the project limits.
The GeoEnvironmental Section observed no additional contaminated properties during the field
reconnaissance and regulatory agencies' records search. Please note that discovery of additional
sites not recorded by regulatory agencies and not reasonably discernable during the project
reconnaissance may occur. The GeoEnvironmental Section should be notified immediately after
discovery of such sites so their potential impact(s) maybe assessed.

If there are any questions regarding these or other GeoEnvironmental issues on the project, please
contact Cyrus Parker, LG at (919)-250-4088.
GEOTECHNICAL ISSUES
Techniques and Methodologies
The geotechnical investigation consisted of a reconnaissance conducted on May 26, 2004 and
one Standard Penetration Test conducted on May 27, 2004. The boring was conducted in the
shoulder of the existing roadway in the northwest quadrant. The collar elevation is about 15 feet
above the streambed.
Findings
The test boring encountered approximately 8 feet of existing roadway fill resting on floodplain
soils. The alluvial deposit is about 12 feet thick and consists of very soft silty clay. Weathered
rock was encountered immediately below the sediments. Split spoon samples of the weathered
rock are consistent with the mapped'rock unit PPg, Granitic Rock of the Charlotte Belt.
It appears that the stream has recently been above bankful as evidenced by sand deposits on the
floodplain and debris piles high on the existing bridge piers. There is a pond in the southwest
(downstream right) quadrant; any construction in that direction will need to consider impacts to
the pond.
Anticipated Impacts
Consolidation of the alluvial clay is likely. This may require a waiting period between placement
of the new fill and pile driving. Based on limited preliminary data, interior spread footings are
possible, but a drilled shaft foundation seems most likely.
If there are any questions regarding these Geotechnical comments, please contact Clinton B.

• In Davidson County
'° ~ TIP Project No. B-4101
'~~~OF TRI.HSQO~
May 2004 NEWSLETTER Number 1
NCDOT to Conduct Studies
The North Carolina Deparhnent of
Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace
Bridge No. 141 on Wallburg-High Point Road
(S.R. 1741) over Abbott's Creek in Davidson
County (see map, page 2). The bridge replacement
is necessary to maintain the safety of those
traveling this route as the existing structure is
nearing the end of its useful life.
For approximately the next six months, the
NCDOT will be conducting engineering and
environmental studies to determine the most
economical and environmentally sound alternative
for replacing the existing bridge. Three alternates
are under consideration. These are:
(1) Replace the bridge at its existing location
by closing the roadway and detouring
traffic to other roads in the area;
(2) Replace the bridge at its existing location,
while maintaining traffic with a
temporary structure on the north side;
(3) Replace the bridge at the existin
location, while maintaining trafl~c with a
temporary structure on the south side.
The estimated construction period is
apppproximately one year. The schedule in the
NCDOT's 2004-2010 Transportation Improvement
Program is for-right-of way acquisition to be in in
2005, with construction beginning in 2006. This
schedule is subject to change.)
If you have any comments or concerns
regarding the bridge replacement, please contact
Jack Ward or Karen Taylor.
The NCDOT has engaged the private
engineering firm of Ko and Associates, P.C., to
conduct the environmental study. The results of
the study will be used by NCDOT to select a
preferred alternate for this pro'ect that minimizes
unpacts to both man-made an~ natural resources,
while meeting the public's transportation needs at
a reasonable cost.
