Subject: Fisher Hill Rd (SR 1700), Bridge # 185, Rockingham County,
Project Number- #17BP.7.R.55
To Whom It May Concern:
ANTHONY J. TATA
SECRETARY
o fit,
The North Carolina Department of Transportation ( NCDOT) proposes to replace a structurally deficient
bridge with two lines of 14'W X 10'H X 611 culverts on Fisher Fill Rd (SR 1700) in Rockingham County.
The project is located in the north quadrant of Rockingham County north of NC 87. Replacement is
necessary in order to reduce future maintenance needs and increase traffic safety. This activity will result
in permanent impacts to Martin Creek. NCDOT is committed to an offsite detour, Method II clearing and
design standards for sensitive watersheds for this project. Also, a two foot sill will be placed in the south
barrel to help maintain low flow in the other barrel. The NCDOT anticipates that the activity will be
authorized under Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14. This application is intended as a request for written
authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers for the Nationwide 14. This package is also being
forwarded to the NC Division of Water Quality for authorization as prescribed under General Water Quality
Certification #3820. No road widening or additional travel lanes are proposed. The following information is
being provided to satisfy conditions of the Nationwide Permit and General Water Quality Certification.

Restoration Plan
Within 15 working days of the project completion any disturbed area adjacent to the stream will be
restored and seeded.
RCP = reinforced concrete pipe; CMP = Corrugated metal pipe; CMPA = Corrugated metal pipe arch; E/C = Erosion control. *A less intrusive
dewatering device may be used in lieu of the one proposed.

MINIMIZATION INFORMATION
Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of
surface waters and wetlands, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of
the US, and coordination (including a pre - construction meeting) with the Division Environmental
Officer.
MITIGATION INFORMATION
Stream mitigation is not anticipated, as the impacts to any individual stream do not exceed 150 feet
Wetland mitigation is not anticipated, as wetland impacts do not exceed 0.10 acres and do not occur
in a unique natural wetland.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Enclosed please find the Pre - construction Notification Form and supporting documentation for the
above referenced project. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please
contact Jerry Parker at (336) 256 -2063. Your time and effort are appreciated.
Sincerely,

3i. Comments: Replacing the bridge with a bridge would be very difficult and impractical due to the steep banks and the sharp
curve adjacent to the stream banks. A bottomless culvert is not recommended because of the uneven bedrock found beneath
the bridge. Replacement of the bridge with culverts has been recommended by the Hydraulics Section of NCDOT.

Dear Mr. Parker:
This letter is in response to your letter of December 18, 2012 which provided the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service) with the biological conclusion of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation ( NCDOT) that the replacement of Bridge No. 185 on Fisher Hill Road over
Martin Creek in Rockingham County may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the
federally endangered Roanoke logperch (Percina rex). Also, NCDOT has determined that the
project will have no effect on the federally endangered James spinymussel (Pleurobema collina).
These comments are provided in accordance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531- 1543).
The NCDOT proposes to replace Bridge No. 185 with two 14'x10' reinforced concrete box
culverts, with one culvert containing a sill to maintain low flow in the other culvert. If possible,
the low flow culvert will be buried one foot. According to information provided, fish and mussel
surveys were conducted at the project site on June 29, 2012. The surveys extended 100 meters
upstream and 400 meters downstream of the existing bridge crossing. Neither of the federally
listed species was observed, and no mussels of any species were observed. Neither of the species
has ever been documented from Martin Creek. However, the Roanoke logperch is known from
the Smith River, which Martin Creek flows into approximately 0.4 miles downstream of the
project area.
NCDOT has committed to the following conservation measures:
1. Offsite detour
2. Method II Clearing with clearing and grubbing to slope stake line and clear only five feet
beyond for erosion control measures
3. Implementation of erosion and sedimentation control measures, as specified by "Design
Standards in Sensitive Watersheds" (15A NCAC 04B.0124)
Based on the survey results and the commitment to the conservation measures listed above, the
Service concurs with your conclusion that the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to
adversely affect the Roanoke logperch. We also concur that the project will have no effect on
the James spinymussel. We believe that the requirements of Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA have

been satisfied for these species. We remind you that obligations under Section 7 consultation
must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may
affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered in this review; (2)
this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or (3) a
new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by this identified action.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to review this project. If you have any questions
regarding our response, please contact Mr. Gary Jordan at (919) 856 -4520 (Ext. 32).
Sincerely,
Pete Benjamin
Field Supervisor
