SUBJECT: Application for Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33. Replacement of
Bridge No. 21 on NC 801 over Fulton Creek, Davie County, North
_ Carolina. Federal Aid Project No. BRSTP-801(5), State Project No.
8.1611801, WBS Element 33460.1.1, TIP No. B-4104.
Please see the enclosed Categorical Exclusion (CE), Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), permit
drawings, and design plans for the subject project. The North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge No. 21 on North Carolina Highway 801
(NC 801) over Fulton Creek in Davie County. The existing 128-foot bridge was constructed in
1952 and received a sufficiency rating of 18.5 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. Based
on this rating, the bridge is considered functionally obsolete and structurally deficient. The
project proposes to demolish the existing bridge and replace with a three span, pre-stressed
concrete girder structure. The new bridge will be approximately 145 feet long and 38 feet wide,
with 35 feet of roadway width. The new alignment of the bridge will be east of and parallel to
the existing location, allowing the existing structure to serve as an on-site detour during
construction.
IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES
General Description: The project is located in sub basin 03-07-04 of the Yadkin River Basin in
Davie County. This area is part of Hydrologic Cataloging Unit 03040101. The project area is
located within the Southern Outer Piedmont ecoregion of North Carolina. The area is generally
characterized by irregular plains, some low rounded hills and ridges, and low to moderate
gradient streams with substrates of cobble, gravel and sand (Griffith et al. 2002). The
surrounding landscape of Bridge No. 21 is consistent with a moderate to steeply sloping
floodplain valley.

s
Fulton Creek is the only stream located within the project study area and has been assigned
Stream Index Number 12-97-(2) by the North Carolina Department of Water Quality (DWQ).
The stream enters the study area as awell-defined, fourth-order, perennial stream. Fulton Creek
is described as having moderate flow, with a silt, sand, and gravel substrate, and flowing
southeastward towards the Yadkin River. At Bridge No. 21, Fulton Creek is approximately 20
feet wide, with steeply sloping banks averaging close to 5 feet high and a water depth of
approximately 3 feet. The stretch of stream in the project study area has been assigned a Best
Usage Classification of WS-IV. 'There are no wetlands associated with this bridge replacement
project.
No portion of Fulton Creek, its tributaries, or other surface waters within 1.0 mile of the project
are listed on the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's (NCDWQ) 2004 Fina1303(d) List
of Impaired Waters.
Neither High Quality Waters (HQW), Water Supplies (WS-I or WS-II), nor Outstanding
Resource Waters (ORW) occur within 1.0 mile of the project area.
Permanent Impacts: There are no anticipated permanent impacts to surface waters or wetland
areas associated with this project. The new bridge will span the creek avoiding permanent
impacts to surface waters. No bents will be placed in the water.
Temporary Impacts: There will be 0.01 acre (53 feet) of existing channel impacts due to the
construction of a temporary causeway. The causeway will be constructed on the southwestern
bank of Fulton Creek. No temporary wetland impacts are associated with this project.
Bridge Demolition: The existing structure has a reinforced concrete deck on I-beams supported
by reinforced concrete caps and timber piles. The existing bridge will be removed without
dropping components into Fulton Creek. There are no existing bents in Fulton Creek. All
guidelines for Bridge Demolition and Removal will be followed in addition to Best Management
Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters.
Utility Impacts: There are no anticipated utility impacts associated with this project.
FEDERALLY PROTECTED SPECIE5
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Proposed
Endangered (PE), and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and
Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The United States Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists 1 Federally Protected species, as of January 29, 2007, for Davie
County. Table 1 lists the species and their federal status.
Table 1. Federally Protected Species in Richmond County, NC
Common Name Scientific Federal Status Biological Habitat
Name Conclusion Present
Michaux's Sumac Rhus michauxii E No Effect Yes
B-4104 Permit Application
2

A Biological Conclusion of "No Effect" was issued for Michaux's sumac. A survey for
Michaux's sumac was conducted by Ko & Associates, P.C. biologists on July 16, 2004, in which
overlapping transects were used to cover the habitat area. However, no individuals were
observed. As Michaux's sumac is considered to be a plant that can migrate, afollow-up species
survey was performed on August 15, 2006 by NCDOT biologists, covering all suitable habitat
within the project study area. No individuals were observed during the survey, so the biological
conclusion of "No Effect" remains valid.
AVOIDANCE, MINIMIZATION and MITIGATION
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 avoidance/minimization activities proposed or completed by NCDOT:
Avoidance/Minimization: Avoidance examines all appropriate and practicable possibilities of
averting impacts to "Waters of the US". The NCDOT is committed to incorporating all
reasonable and practicable design features to avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts and to
minimize impacts as part of the project design.
• 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) highlighted in NCDOT's "Best Management Practices for Construction and
Maintenance Activities".
• Best Management Practices for Protection of Surface Waters and Bridge Demolition and
Removal will be implemented during the entirety of this project.
• During construction, traff c will use existing bridge as an on-site detour.
• No bents are to be placed in Fulton Creek.
Compensatory Miti ation: No mitigation is proposed for this project because only temporary
impacts are associated with this project.
SCHEDULE
The project calls for a let date of January 15, 2008 and a review date of November 27, 2007.
This project has a date of availability of February 26, 2008. It is expected that the contractor
will begin construction shortly after that date.

REGULATORY APPROVALS
Section 404 Permit: It is anticipated that the temporary impacts of the construction of a causeway
in Fulton Creek will be authorized under a Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33. We are therefore
requesting the issuance of a Nationwide Permit 33 for the temporary impacts sustained during the
causeway construction.
Section 401 Permit: We anticipate Section 401 General Water Quality Certification (WQC) 3634
will be applicable to this project. All general conditions of this WQC will be met. Therefore,
written concurrence from the NCDWQ is not required. In accordance with 15A NCAC ZH .0500
and 15A NCAC 2B .0200 we are providing two copies of this application to the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, as notification.
A copy of this permit application will be posted on the NCDOT website at:

Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was aeveloped. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.The No-Build alternative was
considered by this alternative would eventually necessitate closure of the brid>:e. This is not a
desireable alternative due to the traffic service provided by NC 801. NCDOT will minimize
impacts to the stream through the use of Best Management Practices.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC' 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
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 t1~e 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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us%ncwetlancl5~strmzicie html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
No mitigation is proposed for this project because only temporary impacts are associated
with this project.
2. Mitigation :nay also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For

Bridge No. 21 over Fulton Creek
Federal-Aid Project No. BRSTP-801(5)
State Project No. WBS 33460.1.1
T.I.P. No. B-4104
INTRODUCTION: The replacement of Bridge No. 21 is included in the North Carolina
Department of Transportation 2006-2012 Transportation Improvement Program and in the
Federal-Aid Bridge Replacement Program. The location is shown in Figure lA and 1B. 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 18.5 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
NC 801 crosses over Fulton Creek approximately 1.7 miles north of the intersection with US 64
and 0.8 miles south of the junction with SR 1645 (Todd Road). Development in the immediate
area is spazse. One residential dwelling is located on the south approach on a hill to the west,
approximately 500 feet away from the bridge. The Fulton Methodist Church Complex, which
includes the original (historic) and current church structures,`is located on the south approach
approximately 1000 feet from the bridge. On the north approach there is a cluster of three
structures located on a hill to the east approximately 450 feet away from the bridge.
NC 801 is classified as a Rural Major Collector in the Statewide Functional Classification
System. NC 801 is a major north-south travel route for eastern Davie County. NC 801 connects
US 601 near Cooleeme in the southwest corner of Davie County neaz the Rowan County Line to
I-40 in the northeast corner of Davie County neaz the Forsyth County Line, just west of the
Winston-Salem Urban Area. The estimated 2005 traffic volumes on NC 801 at Fulton Creek are
3000 vehicles per day (vpd) and the estimated traffic volumes for the design year 2025 aze 4800
vpd. The volumes include an estimated 1 percent truck-tractor semi-trailer (TTST) and 3 percent
dual-tired (DT) vehicles.
1

NC 801 has a current pavement width of 20 feet with 6-foot grass shoulders in the area of the
bridge. The bridge structure is in a tangent section between two curves to the west on the north
and south approaches. It is located at the bottom of a hill with a sag vertical alignment. Sight
distance is poor both to the north and to the south of the bridge. The posted speed limit is 55
mph in the vicinity of the bridge.
Bridge No. 21, as shown in Figures 2A and 2B, has an overall length of 128 feet and a clear deck
width of 24 feet. The existing two-lane bridge has a reinforced concrete deck on I-beams
supported by reinforced concrete caps and timber piles at approximate 43-foot centers. The
structure was constructed in 1950. The current posted weight limit is 26 tons for single unit
vehicles and 29 tons for truck-tractor semi-trailer vehicles. Bridge No. 21 has abed-to-crown
distance of approximately 35 feet.
No accidents were reported in the vicinity of the bridge during the period from April 1, 1999 to
March 31, 2002. Scoping comments from the Davie County Emergency Services Director
implied that either the bridge or the approach curves to the bridge had an accident history. Based
on further contact with the Davie County Emergency Services Director, the Davie County 911
records indicate only one accident has occurred in the vicinity of the bridge during the past three
years.
Aerial power lines along the west side of NC 801 cross over north and south approaches of the
bridge and over Fulton Creek west of the bridge. Underground fiber-optic cable along the west
side of NC 801 crosses over Fulton Creek attached underneath the west side concrete guardrail.
Two public school buses cross the bridge four times each per day for a total of 8 school bus
crossings.
According to the correspondence from the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources, Bridge No. 21 is located in the proximity of a State Trail, i.e. Yadkin River
Trail. The project will not have any impact on the Yadkin River Trail (see page 22).
III. ALTERNATIVES
A. Project Description
NCDOT proposes to replace Bridge No. 21 with a new bridge approximately 215 feet long with
a cleaz roadway width of 30 feet. The final bridge length and width will be determined during
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 typical sections aze shown in Figure 3. The
2

horizontal design speed will be 60 mph. A design exception may be required for the vertical
design speed. To obtain a 60 mph vertical design speed would require the proposed structure to
be raised approximately 15 feet above the elevation of the existing bridge, increasing both the
bridge length and amount of fill material.
B. Detailed Study Alternatives
The studied alternatives were: Alternate 1 (Preferred) replaces the structure on new alignment
east of and parallel to the existing location using the existing bridge as an on-site detour and
Alternate 2 replaces the existing structure on new alignment west and parallel to the existing
location using the existing bridge as an on-site detour. Alternate 2 was not selected because it
cost $264,000 more than Alternate 1 and would displace one residential dwelling.
These alternatives are shown in Figures 4 and 5. The posted speed limit is 55 mph and the
corresponding horizontal design speed is 60 mph. With a 60 mph horizontal design speed and
vertical design speeds that range from 45 to 55 mph, the existing grade at the crossing will be
raised approximately 8 feet
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 NC 801.
Investigation of the existing structure by the NCDOT Bridge Maintenance Unit indicates that
rehabilitation of Bridge No. 21 is not feasible due to its age and deteriorated condition. The
existing bridge is classified as structurally deficient.
Consideration was given to replacing Bridge No. 21 at its existing location and maintaining
traffic on a temporary on-site detour. This option was eliminated because the existing horizontal
roadway alignment is undesirable fora 55 mph speed limit. The expected environmental
impacts aze compazable to those of the preferred alternative; however, the existing alignment
deficiencies would remain.
Consideration was also given to replacing Bridge No. 21 at its existing location and using other
existing local roads as anoff-site detour. The possible off-site detour route (See Figure 6)
includes utilizing US 64, SR 1611 (Fork Bixby Rd), and SR 1617 (Bailey Chapel Rd). The
detour is approximately 9.5 miles in length. In accordance with the NCDOT Guidelines for
3

Evaluation of Off-site Detours for Bridge Replacement Projects (April 2004), the average delay
per motorist using the recommended detour is estimated to range from 12-15 minutes for a
construction period of 12 months, which falls at the upper limit under the Evaluation (E) range of
the Guidelines. The Evaluation (E) range suggests that 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. The Davie County School System indicated that closing NC 801 to through traffic
would have an extreme impact to the two school buses crossing Bridge No. 21 four times each
day. The Division Office advised against anoff--site detour because of the large traffic volume
and the nature of travel service provided by NC 801 to Davie County. The off-site detour
alternative was eliminated from further consideration.
D. Preferred Alternative
Alternate 1, replacing the existing bridge on new alignment immediately east of and parallel to
the existing bridge is the preferred alternative. Alternate 1 was selected because it is the most
economical option, improves the existing roadway alignment, maintains traffic service on-site,
and has comparable environmental impacts to the other alternative considered. The new
structure will be approximately 215 feet long with a clear roadway width of 30 feet. New
approaches to the bridge will provide 12-foot travel lanes with 8-foot shoulders including 2-foot
paved. Approximately 1900 feet of new approaches will be required. The horizontal design
speed will be 60 mph and the vertical design speed will range from a low of 45 mph to a high of
55 mph. The estimated cost for the recommended proposed improvement is $1,935,000. The
current estimated cost of the project, as shown in the NCDOT 2006-2012 Transportation
Improvement Program, is $135,000 for right-of--way and $1,450,000 for construction.
The Division Office concurs with the recommended improvements.
IV. ESTIMATED COST
The estimated costs of the alternatives studied, based on 2005 prices, are shown in Table 1.
The 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.

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 (Advance, NC 7.5-
minute quadrangle), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI)
mapping (Advance, NC 7.5-minute quadrangle), Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS; formerly the Soils Conservation Service) soils mapping (SCS 1995), N.C. Wildlife
Resources Commission (WRC) 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. Vasculaz plant names follow
nomenclature found in Radford et al. (1968) with adjustments for updated nomenclature (Kaztesz
1998). Jurisdictional azeas were evaluated using the three-pazameter approach following U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) delineation guidelines (DOA 1987). Jurisdictional azeas
were characterized according to a classification scheme established by Cowardin et al. (1979)
5

and/or the N.C. Division of Environmental Management (DEM) Field Guide to North Carolina
I~etlands (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 provided by the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ 2002, DWQ 2004a-c). Quantitative sampling was
not undertaken to support existing data.
The most current FWS listing of federally protected species with ranges extending into Davie
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. Significant Aquatic Endangered Species Habitats proposed by the WRC
(December 11, 1998 listing) were also consulted to determine the presence of Proposed Critical
Habitats for aquatic species.
The project study area (Figure 7) was walked and visually surveyed for significant features. The
project study area is approximately 300 feet in width (centered on the existing roadway) and
approximately 2390 feet in length, encompassing approximately 16.4 acres. Special concerns
evaluated in the field include 1) potential protected species habitat and 2) wetlands and water
quality protection of Fulton Creek. The fieldwork for the natural resource investigations was
conducted on April 19, 2004 by biologists from EcoScience Corporation.
B. Physiography and Soils
The project study area is located within the Southern Outer Piedmont ecoregion of North
Cazolina. This ecoregion is characterized by dissected irregular plains, some low rounded hills
and ridges, and low to moderate gradient streams with mostly cobble, gravel, and sandy
substrates (Griffith et al. 2002). The project study area is located within a moderate to steeply
sloping floodplain valley. Elevations within the project study area range from a high of
approximately 710 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) at the eastern end of the
project study azea, to a low of approximately 645 feet NGVD within the stream channel. Land
uses within and adjacent to the project study area consist of woodlands, agricultural and pasture
lands, roadside shoulders, and residential lots.
Based on soil mapping for Davie County (SCS 1995), the project study azea is underlain by three
soil series: Pacolet sandy clay loams (Typic Kanhapludults), Rion sandy loam (Typic
Hapludults), and Riverview loam (Fluventic Dystrochrepts). Riverview loam generally occurs
6

in the Fulton Creek floodplain, while the Pacolet and Rion series tend to be found on the slopes.
None of the soils present within the project study area are considered hydric in Davie County
(MRCS 1996).
The Pacolet series consists of well-drained sandy clay loam on upland ridges and side slopes.
Permeability is moderate and erosion is severe when the soil surface is bare and unprotected.
Depth to bedrock is greater than 60 inches, and the seasonal high water table occurs at a depth
greater than 6 feet.
The Rion series consists of well-drained sandy loam on upland side slopes. Permeability is
moderate and erosion is a severe hazard where the surface is bare and unprotected. Depth to
bedrock is greater than 60 inches, and the seasonal high water table occurs at a depth of 6 feet.
The Riverview series consists of well-drained, moderately permeable loams that formed in
alluvium. Depth to bedrock is greater than 120 inches, and the seasonal high water table occurs
between 3 and 5 feet.
C. Water Resources
1. Waters Impacted
The project study area is located within sub-basin 03-07-04 of the Yadkin River Basin (DWQ
2004a). This azea is part of USGS Hydrologic Unit 03040101 of the South Atlantic/Gulf
Region. The structure targeted for replacement spans Fulton Creek. The portion of Fulton Creek
that lies within the project study area has been assigned Stream Index Number 12-97-(2) by
DWQ (DWQ 2004a).
2. Water Resources Characteristics
Fulton Creek is the only stream located within the project study area, and flows generally
southeastward through the middle of the project study area. This stream enters the project study
area as awell-defined, fourth-order, perennial stream with moderate flow over a silt, sand, and
gravel substrate (containing some cobble). At Bridge No. 21, Fulton Creek is approximately 20
feet wide. The banks of Fulton Creek are approximately 5 feet high and aze steeply sloping.
During field investigations, the water level appeared low and ranged to approximately 3 feet
deep. 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
7

habitat within Fulton Creek includes overhanging trees, undercut banks, fallen logs, and leaf
packs. However, due to the observation of heavy siltation within the stream, Fulton Creek is not
ideally suited for mussels or benthic macroinvertebrates.
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. Fulton Creek is not listed on any section of the N.C. 2004
Section 303(d) list (DWQ 2004c).
Classifications aze assigned to waters of the State of North Cazolina based on the existing or
contemplated best usage of various 'streams or segments of streams in the basin. A Best Usage
Classification of WS-IV has been assigned to this reach of Fulton Creek. WS-IV waters are
protected as water supplies which aze generally in moderate to highly 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 orgatiized 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 study 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
8

exceed the low-density option; otherwise, a 30-foot buffer is required and storm water 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 DWQ has initiated awhole-basin approach to water quality management for the 17 river
basins within the state. Water quality for the proposed project study area is summarized in the
Yadkin River Basinwide Water Quality Plan (DWQ 2002). Fulton Creek is currently listed by
DWQ as Supporting its designated uses. No benthic macroinvertebrate monitoring stations
occur within one mile of the project study area (DWQ 2002).
Sub-basin 03-07-04 of the Yadkin River Basin supports 36 permitted, point source discharges
with a total discharge of over 77.0 million gallons per day. Five of the permitted discharges are
classified as major dischargers, discharging 75.3 million gallons per day. The 31 remaining
permitted dischargers are minor, with four having no limits set on discharges (DWQ 2004b).
None of these dischargers are relevant to Fulton Creek. 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.
Major non-point sources of pollution within the project study area include runoff from NC 801
and a church pazking lot. Sedimentation and nutrient inputs are major problems associated with
non-point source discharges (DWQ 2002).
The WRC has developed a Significant Aquatic Endangered Species Habitat database to enhance
planning and impact analysis in areas proposed by WRC as being critical due to the presence of
Endangered or Threatened aquatic species. No Significant Aquatic Endangered Species Habitat
occurs. within the project study azea. The nearest Significant Aquatic Endangered Species
Habitat within the Yadkin River Basin occurs approximately 16 miles to the southeast in an
unnamed tributary to Brier Creek in sub-basin 03-07-09 (DWQ 2002) (WRC 1998).
3. Anticipated Impacts to Water Resources
a) GeneralImpacts
Impacts to water resources in the project study azea 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
9

revegetation, and pavementJculvert 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 study area.
• Alteration of stream discharge due to silt loading and 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 ofwater 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
Fulton Creek, thereby protecting the integrity of this waterway. Both alternatives contain an
identical on-site detour component, while Alternative 1 proposes to replace Bridge No. 21 on the
east side of the existing structure, and Alternative 2 proposes to replace Bridge No. 21 on the
west side of the existing structure. Bridge supports aze not expected to be installed into Fulton
Creek. Long-term impacts resulting from construction aze expected to be negligible. In order to
minimise impacts to water resources, NCDOT's 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
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
dischazges into steams by catch basins and roadside vegetation.
10

b) Impacts Related to Bridge Demolition and Removal
The existing two-lane bridge has a reinforced concrete deck on I-beams supported by reinforced
concrete caps and timber piles. The existing bridge is expected to be removed without dropping
components into Fulton Creek.
D. BIOTIC RESOURCES
1. Plant Communities
Two distinct plant communities were identified within the project study area:
disturbed/maintained land and mixed pine/hardwood forest. Plant communities were delineated
to determine the approximate area and location of each (Figure 7). These communities are
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 0.9 acre (5 percent) of the project study area is covered by the impermeable
surface of NC 801.
a) Disturbed/maintained land
Approximately 11.0 acres (67 percent) of the project study area is encompassed by
disturbed/maintained land. This community includes roadside shoulders, church grounds,
residential lots, pasture and agricultural land. Along roadside shoulders, grasses and herbs
dominate the vegetation. Representative species include sweet vernal grass (Anthoxanthum
odoratum), broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), Queen Anne's lace (Daucus carota), vetch
(Vicia sp.), and pussytoes (Antennaria sp.). In addition, a thin line of sapling and shrub species _
edge the maintained right-of--way on the northern side of the road in the northeastern quadrant
formed by the intersection of Fulton Creek and NC 801. Saplings present include sweetgum
(Liquidambar styraciflua) and eastern red cedaz (Juniperus virginiana). Shrub species present
include blackberry (Rubus argutus).
Across church grounds and residential lots, grasses and herbs dominate the vegetation.
Representative species include sweet vernal grass, broomsedge, Queen Anne's lace, vetch, and
pussytoes. Vines present consist predominantly of Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica)
and common periwinkle (Vinca minor).
11

Throughout pastureland and on agricultural field margins, grasses and herbs dominate the
vegetation. Representative herbs consist of dandelion (Taraxacu»z officinale), dogfennel
(Eupatorium capillifolium), aborted buttercup (Ranunculus abortivus), violets (Viola spp.), and
white clover (Trifolium repens).
b) Mined Pine/Hardwood Forest
Approximately 4.5 acres (27 percent) of the project study area is encompassed by mixed
pine/hardwood forest. This community occurs on floodplains, floodplain slopes and uplands in
the project study area. In the project study area, this community is fragmented and occurs
adjacent to the stream, along the majority of the southwest quadrant formed by Fulton Creek and
NC 801, and in two small areas of the northwestern and northeastern quadrants. The mixed
pine/hazdwood forest consists predominantly of a mature forest characterized by a closed,
stratified canopy with a relatively open understory.
In the floodplain of Fulton Creek, this community supports a canopy of sweetgum, sycamore
(Platanus occidentalis), sugazberry (Celtis laevigata), and river birch (Betula nigra). Sapling
and shrub layers include canopy species as well as box elder (Ater negundo), strawberry bush
(Euonymus americanus), and Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense). Vines within this community
aze dominated by Japanese honeysuckle, common periwinkle, and Virginia creeper
(Parthenocissus quinquefolia). The herbaceous layer is vegetated by daylily (Hemerocallis sp.),
Nepalese browntop (Microstegium vimineum), common chickweed (Stellaria media), purple
deadnettle (Lamium purpureum), bedstraw (Galium sp.), and common blue violet (Viola
sororia).
Moving out of the floodplain onto the floodplain slopes and uplands, the canopy is made up of
sweetgum, American beech (Fagus grandifolia), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), southern red oak
(Quercus falcata), white oak (Quercus alba), persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), and sugazberry.
The subcanopy/shrub layers include saplings of canopy species, eastern red cedaz, flowering
dogwood (Cornus Florida), white ash, (Fraxinus americana), Chinese privet, black cherry
(Prunus serotina), winged elm (Ulmus alata), blackhaw (Viburnum prunifolium), and hickories
(Carya sp.). Vines are represented by Japanese honeysuckle and poison ivy (Toxicodendron
radicans). Groundcover includes common chickweed, bedstraw, wingstem (Verbesina
alternifolia), crippled cranefly (Tipularia discolor), and running pine (Lycopodium digitatum).
12

2. Wildlife
Disturbed/maintained land
Open fields within the project study area provide wildlife with a specialized habitat for foraging,
but little cover from predation. Wildlife which may occur within the open portion of the project
study area include herbivores and seed-eaters such as American goldfinch*, chipping sparrow*
(Spizella passerina), indigo bunting* (Passerina cyanea), meadow vole (Microtus
pennsylvanicus), hispid cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus), and eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus
floridanus}; insectivores such as eastern meadowlark* (Sturnella magna), killdeer (Charadrius
vociferus), least shrew (Cryptotis parva), eastern mole (Scalopus aquaticus), six-lined racerunner
(Cnemidophorus sexlineatus), eastern fence lizard, and southeastern five-lined skink (Eumeces
inexpectatus); omnivores including northern mockingbird* (Mimus polyglottos), brown thrasher
(Toxostoma rufum), and. eastern box turtle (Terrapene carolina); predators of small birds,
mammals, and herptiles such as red-tailed hawk* (Buteo j amaicensis), eastern garter snake
(Thamnophis sirtalis), and black racer (Coluber constrictor); and scavengers such as American
crow.
Mixed Pine/1•iardwood Forest
Although fragmented, this community provides connecting corridors for travel as well as shelter
and food resources. The stratification and abundance of food and cover within this community
may result in a wide diversity of forest interior species. Wildlife which may be expected to
occur within the mixed pine/hardwood forest include herbivores and seed-eaters such as northern
cardinal*, white-tailed deer* (Odocoileus virginianus), woodland vole (Microtus pinetorum), and
gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis); insectivores including downy woodpecker* (Picoides
pubescens), eastern phoebe (Sayornis phoebe), Carolina chickadee (Poecile carolinensis), wood
thrush (Hylocichla mustelina), red-eyed vireo (Vireo olivaceus), red bat (Lasiurus borealis), five-
lined skink (Eumeces fasciatus), gray treefrog (Hyla versicolor), .spring peeper (Pseudacris _
crucifer), American toad (Bufo americanus), and slimy salamander (Plethodon glutinosus);
omnivores such as raccoon* (Procyon lotor) and eastern box turtle; and predators such as belted
kingfisher* (Megaceryle alcyon), barred owl (Strix varia), ringneck snake (Diadophis punctatus),
and copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix).
Ecotones between woodlands and open areas often provide suitable habitat for many forest and
open area species. Many of these species can be found in disturbed areas, within heavy
underbrush, or amongst shrubby plants. Migration between communities of the project study
area may be frequent based on the needs of each species for food, cover, protection from
predators, and nesting.
13

3. Aquatic Communities
Fulton Creek represents the only aquatic habitat present in the project study area. This water
resource is expected to provide diverse habitats (riffle-pool complexes, undercut banks, rock and
organic debris, fallen logs, and overhanging branches) for fish, wildlife, and benthic populations.
Limited investigations resulted in no observations of aquatic herptiles. Aquatic or semi-aquatic
reptiles and amphibians expected to occur within the project study area vicinity include the
insectivorous green frog (Rana clamitans), eastern newt (Notophthalmus viridescens), and two-
lined salamander (Eurycea bislineata); and the omnivorous eastern musk turtle (Sternotherus
odoratus).
No sampling was undertaken in Fulton 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 Fulton
Creek include smaller species such as margined madtom (Noturus insignis), rosyside dace
(Clinostomus funduloides), eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki), tasselated darter
(Etheostoma olmstedi), and spottail shiner (Notropis hudsonius).
4. Summary of Anticipated Impacts
Permanent impacts are anticipated as a result of this project. Permanent impacts aze considered
to be those impacts that occur within proposed cut-fill limits. Temporazy impacts are considered
to be those impacts which occur within the cut-fill footprint associated with temporary detours.
No temporary impacts are anticipated with this project. Plant communities within the project
study azea were delineated to determine the approximate azea and location of each. A summary
of plant community areas and the potential impacts to each is presented in Table 2.

a uv..a.a wv bl~'V11111 GLVrl VJ.
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. Little area of natural plant community is expected to be permanently impacted by the
proposed project.
14

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 study area.
Impacts associated with turbidity and suspended sediments resulting from bridge replacement
will be minimized through stringent erosion control measures.
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. After bridge construction, the existing
bridge and approaches will be removed and the area reseeded.
E. SPECIAL TOPICS
1. Waters of the United States
Surface waters within the project study azea are subject to jurisdictional consideration under
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act as waters of the United States (33 CFR Section 328.3).
Classification of Fulton Creek utilizes the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) system for
designation of wetlands and deepwater habitats (Cowazdin et al. 1979). Fulton Creek exhibits
characteristics of swell-defined, fourth-order, perennial stream with moderate flow over a silt,
sand, and gravel substrate (containing some cobble). This stream contains several unvegetated
point bazs composed of sand and silt. Fulton Creek can be classified as riverine, upper perennial
with an unconsolidated bottom composed primarily of sand and silt (R3UB2).
Vegetated wetlands aze defined by the presence of three primary criteria: hydric soils,
hydrophytic vegetation, and evidence of hydrology at or neaz the surface for a portion (12.5
percent) of the growing season (DOA 1987). No vegetated wetlands are present within the
project study azea; therefore, no impacts to wetlands aze anticipated as a result of this project.
2. Bridge Demolition
Since none of the existing bridge piers aze located within the stream channel, the existing bridge
is expected to be removed without dropping components into Fulton Creek. Therefore, no
potential fill into waters of the United States is anticipated.
15

3. Permits
Impacts to vegetated wetlands are not anticipated as a result of the proposed project, as no such
wetlands occur within the project study area. Bridge supports are not expected to be installed
into Fulton Creek, which would constitute a jurisdictional area impact. If during final design,
bridge supports must be installed into Fulton Creek, construction activities may require permits
and certifications from various regulatory agencies in charge of protecting water quality and
public water resources.
This project may be processed as a Categorical Exclusion (CE) under Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) guidelines. The USAGE 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
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 since, impacts attributed to bridge replacement and associated approach
improvements may qualify under General Bridge Permit (GP) 031 issued by the Wilmington
USAGE District. DWQ has made available a General 401 Water Quality Certification for GP
031 (GC 3404). Notification to the Wilmington USAGE District office is required if this general
permit is utilized.
4. Mitigation
The USAGE 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), minimising impacts,
rectifying impacts, reducing impacts over time and compensating for impacts (40 CFR 1508.20).
Each of these three aspects (avoidance, minimization, and compensatory mitigation) must be
considered sequentially.
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 USAGE, in determining
16

"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 of 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
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 required. 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 project impacts. However, utilization of BMPs is
recommended in an effort to minimize impacts. 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.
17

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).
One federally protected species is listed for Davie County (February 11, 2003 FWS list):
Michaux's sumac (Rl~us michauxii). This species is listed as Endangered.
Rl:us micltauxii (Michauz's sumac)
Endangered
Family: Anacardiaceae
bate Listed: September 28, 1989
Michaux's sumac is a dioecious, densely pubescent rhizomatous shrub, generally two to three
feet in height that produces fruits (drupes) and seeds in late summer (Radford et al. 1968). Most
populations appear to be monoclonal, consisting exclusively of male or female plants that
propagate vegetatively by way of rhizomes. Michaux's sumac tends to grow in disturbed areas
where competition is reduced, such as roadside margins or utility right-of--ways. Michaux's
sumac appears to prefer sandy or rocky substrates consisting of basic soils.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
Suitable habitat for this species exists within the project study corridor along roadside edges and
the edges of pasture and other open areas. No individuals were observed during field
investigations, and NHP files reviewed on April 17, 2004 list no documentation for Michaux's
sumac within 2.0 miles of the project study area. A survey for Michaux's sumac was conducted
within the project study area on July 16, 2004, in which overlapping transects were used to cover
the habitat area. However, no specimens of Michaux's sumac were located, and the presence of
this species within the project study area can be discounted.
2. Federal Species of Concern
The February 11, 2003 FWS list also 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. NHP files list no documentation for FSC species
within 2.0 miles of the project study area.
18

•
3. State-Protected Species
Three FSC species are listed for Davie County: Robust redhorse (Moxostoma robustuni) which
has a state status of Significantly Rare (SR) and proposed Endangered (PE), creamy tick-trefoil
(Desmodiunz och~roleucum), and Heller's trefoil (Lotus helleri) which both have a state status of
Significantly Rare throughout their ranges (SR-T) (FWS 2003, Amoroso 2004, LeGrand and
Ha112001). Robust redhorse habitat is medium to large creeks and rivers with a gravelly, sandy,
or occasionally silt substrate. The reach of Fulton Creek within the project study area does
provide suitable habitat for robust redhorse. Creamy tick-trefoil tends to favor open, temperate
woodlands. There is suitable habitat for this species within the project study area. Heller's
trefoil is typically found along roadsides and other disturbed areas (fields, power line and sewer
line right-of-ways). Suitable habitat exists for this species throughout most of the project study
area.
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. Iistoric Architecture
A field survey of the Area of Potential Effect (APE) was conducted on January 12, 2004. All -
structures within the APE were photographed, and later reviewed by the State Historic
Preservation Office (HPO). In a memorandum dated, March 10, 2004, the HPO stated that they
were awaze of no historic resources that would be affected by the project. However, NCDOT
azchitectural historians were notified on June 16, 2004, that a National Register-listed property,
Fulton Church, was within the APE. A NCDOT azchitectural historian conducted a field survey
in August 2004 that confirmed that Fulton Church was within the APE. The project was
presented to HPO and FHWA in an effects meeting on September 27, 2004, and all parties
agreed that the project would have no effect on Fulton Church provided that no construction
equipment or project staging would take place within or adjacent to the National Register
19

}
boundary of the Church. No other historic architectural resources either listed in or eligible for
listing in the National Register of Historic places are within the APE. A copy of the concurrence
form and the memorandum are included in the Appendix.
C. Archaeology
The State Historic Preservation Officer (HPO), in a March 10, 2004 memorandum, stated: "Due
to the possibility of new location alignments and on-site detours to the east in the Yadkin River
floodplain, we recommend that a comprehensive survey be conducted by an experienced
archaeologist. This survey will identify and evaluate the significance of archaeology remains
that may be damaged or destroyed by the proposed project." A survey was conducted by
Environmental Services, Inc., (ESI) and the report dated November, 2004, stated: "The survey
identified two archaeological sites, both of which are recommended ineligible for the National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The proposed project will not impact any archaeological
sites that are on or are eligible for inclusion on the NRHP, and therefore a finding of no historic
properties is appropriate as far as the archaeological resources are concerned." A copy of the
HPO concurrence memorandum is included in the Appendix.
VII. ENVIItONMENTAL EFFECTS
The project is expected to have an overall positive impact by replacing a structurally obsolete
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.
20

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.
Neither of the alternatives study impacts any Prime and Unique Farmland. Alternate 1
(preferred) has a "Farmland Conversion Impact Rating" score of 47 and will impact 2.6 acres of
Statewide and Local Important Farmland while Alternate 2 has a score of 49 and will impact
3.63 acres of Statewide and Local Important Farmland. The Natural Resources Conservation
Service (USDA) memo and Farmland Conversion Impact Rating Form are included in the
Appendix. The preferred (Alternate 1) minimizes the impact to farmland, thereby, meeting the
requirements of the Farmland Protection Policy Act (7 CFR Part 658).
The Yadkin River Trail as referenced by the Division of Parks and Recreation (NCDENR) is
located along the north side of the Yadkin River between US 64 and US 601, the trail will not be
impacted by any of the project alternatives. There are no other 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 open 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 with 15 NCAC 2D.0520 and 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments and the National
Environmental Policy Act. Traffic volumes will not increase or decrease due to the replacement
of the existing bridge. 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.
21

Subject: Scoping Comments for Five Bridge Replacement Proposals, Stokes, Davidson, Forsyth,
and Davie Counties, North Carolina ~ .
We have reviewed the subj ect 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 t7.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 ilrldlife 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 aze 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. 42-04122) -Our records for Stokes County indicate known locations of
the federally endangered James spin~nussel (Pleurobema collina) ~in the proj ect
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 bittereress
(Cardamine micrantherea) near the project 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, ofd site detours,
which would reduce stream-bank disturbance, are preferable to temporary on-site crossings. We
look forwazd to reviewing the completed categorical exclusion documents.
If you have questions about these comments, please contact Ms. Mazella 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 m_ ay 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 listing.
FSC A Federal species of concem-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.
These•species aze 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.
***Incidental/migrant record -the species was observed outside of its normal range or habitat.
****Historic record -obscure and incidental record.
'In 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 Virginia 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 Cazolina, 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.

Re: Proposed Replacement Bridge 21 on NC 801 over Carter Creek, B-4104, Davie County, ER04-0480
Thank you for transmitting the information request dated February 10, 2003.
In future transmissions to our office please plot all projects on a 7.5 minute USGS quadrangle. Please be sure to
include the name of the USGS quadrangle in the transmittal letter.
Due to the possibility of new location alignments and on site detours to the east in the Yadkin River floodplain,
we recommend that a comprehensive survey be conducted by an experienced. archaeologist. The survey will
identify and evaluate the significance of archaeological remains that may be damaged or destroyed by the
proposed project. Potential effects on unknown resources must be assessed prior to the initiation of construction
activities. Off site detours generally preclude the need for an archaeological survey for a bridge to be rebuilt on
the same alignment
Two copies of the resulting archaeological survey report, as well as one copy of the appropriate site forms,
should be forwarded to us for review and comment as soon as they are available and well in advance of any
construction activities.
We have determuied that the project as proposed will not affect any historic structures.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment, please
contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919/733-4763. In all future communication
concerning this project, please cite the above-referenced tracking number.

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
azeas should be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and native tree species should be
planted with a spacing of not more than 10'x10'. If possible, when using temporary
structures the area should be cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws,
mowers, bush=hogs, or other mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat
intact, allows the area to revegetate naturally and minimizes disturbed soil.
6. A clear bank (riprap free) area of at least 10 feet should remain on each side of the 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
maybe 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 azeas 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 regularly, especially following rainfall events.
,.
12. Temporary or pernnanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all baze 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 area.
Sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, or other diversion structures should be used where
possible to prevent excavation in flowing water.
14. Heavy egriipriieirt 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..

SUBJECT: Scoping review of NCDOT's proposed replacement of Bridge No. 21 on NC 801
over Carter Creek, Davie County. TIP No. B-4104:
North Cazolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is requesting comments from the
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) regazding impacts to fish and
wildlife.resources resulting from the subject project. Staff biologists have reviewed the
information provided and have the following preliminary comments. These comments are
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 standard 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.
3. Live concrete should not be allowed to contact the water in or entering into the stream.
4. If possible, bridge supports (bents) should not be placed in the stream.

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
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 I 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 (similaz to Lyonsf eld design).. These should be reconnected to
floodplain benches as appropriate. This maybe 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 lineaz 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 aze 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. lZiprap should not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a
manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should
be professionally designed, sized, and installed. ~ _
In most cases, we prefer the replacement of the existing structure at the same location
with road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour should be designed and
located to avoid wetland impacts, minimise the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing
stream banks. If the structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure should be removed
and the approach fills removed from the 100-yeaz 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: ~
~0
1. B-4104, Davie Co., Bridge No. 21 over Carter Creek on NC.'I Carter Creek is classified WS-
IV waters. No special concerns aze 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 inmost 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 regazding bridge
replacements, please contact me at [phone]. Thank you for the opportunity to review and
comment on this project.

In reply to your correspondence dated February 10, 2004 (received February 18, 2004) to Cynthia Van der Wiele,
in which'you requested comments for the referenced projects, the NC Division of Water Quality has the. followil-tg
comments: "
I. General Comments Re~ardin;' Bride Replacement Proiects
1. ff corrugated. metal pipe arches, reinforced concrete pipes, or concrete box culverts aze used to replace the
bridge, then DWQ recommends the use of Nationwide Penxlit No. 14 rather than Nationwide Permit 23.
2. Bridge demolition should be"performed using Best Maitagement Practices developed by NCDOT.
3. DWQ prefers 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. ~ •
_ 4. .Bridge deck drains should not dischazge directly into the stream; stormwater should be directed across the
' bridge and pre-treated through site-appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-formed scour holes, vegetated
buffers, etc.} before entering the stream. Please refer to NCDOT Best Management Practices for the
Protection of Surface Waters ~ - - ~ --
5. Live concrete should not be allowed to contact the water in or entering into the stream. Concrete is mostly
made up of lime (calcium carbonate) and when'in a dry- or wet state (not hardened} calcium carbonate is very ..,
soluble in water and has a pH of approximately 12. )n-an unhardelied state concrete or cement will change the
" pH of fresh water to.very basic and will cause fish and other macroinvertebrate kills. "
6. If possible, bridge supports (bents). should not be placed in the stream.
7. If temporary access roads or detours aze constructed, they should be removed back to original ground
elevations immediately upon the completion of the project. Disturbed areas should be seeded or mulched to
stabilize the soil and native tree species should be planted with a spacing of not more than 10'x10'. If
possible, when using temporary structures the area should be cleazed but not grubbed. Clearing fhe area with
. chain saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact,
allows the area to re-vegetate naturally and minimizes disturbed soil. ~ -

3. A clear bank (rip rap-free) area of at least 10 feet should remain on each side of the steam underneath the
bridge.
9. Sedimentation and erosion control measures sufficient to protect water resources must be implemented prior
to any ground disturbing activities. Structures should be maintained regularly, especially following rainfall
events.
10. Bare soil should be stabilized through vegetation or other means as quickly as feasible to prevent sedimentation
of water resources.
11. All work in or adjacent to stream waters should be conducted in a dry work area. Sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams, or other diversion structures should be used where possible to prevent excavation in flowing

SUBJECT: Revietiv of Department, of Transportation Bridge Replacement Projects
The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit comments prepared by the Division of
Parks and Recreation (Division) on a number of proposed bridge replacement projects. These
projects were received from iVlr. William T. Goodwin (dated :~pri12~, 2002) and John Williams
(received June 25, 2002).
Prior to discussing individual comments on specific projects I would like to make one
teneral comment. A number of projects are listed as replacement of bridles with culverts. The
Division would like to express concern with this type of replacement. As you know, culverts are
often beset by a number of persistent problems associated with their installation and
maintenance. Culverts are frequently the focus of restoration projects as either culvert removal
or mitigation efforts designed to remediate their destabilizin; influence. Since culverts are often
used in lieu of brides as a cost savings alternative, the proper design of the culvert is often not.
factored~into the cost of the project. Impacts of improper design and installation include~the
an;le of insertion (too high or too low), sizing of culverts. culvert placement (too low or too
high), and lack of culvert maintenance resulting in degradation of streams. In addition, culvert
are often insufficiently designed to handle fish passage due to inadequate depth of water at time
of passage, inappropriate water velocity, inadequate resting places above and below the stream
structure, and physical obstructions to passage. Culverts have been identified as one of the
treatest sources of stream morpholoty change in the United States. In general, the Division
recommends that bridges be used in all instances where practical.
Enclosure. 1 presents the bridle replacement projects were potential environmental
impacts were identified. The majority of the impacts involve impacts to si;nificant natural
heritage areas, rare plant and animal species. Other impacts include proximity to state trails,
state parks, and natural heritage aquatic habitats. Enclosure ?~ presents the accompanying maps
discussed in Enclosure 1.
Please le[ me knotiv if there is any further information you need or if you have any
questions retarding the enclosed material, my telephone number is (919) 71~-871 1.

MEMORANDUM
TO: William T. Goodwin, Jr. PE
FROM: Todd Naylor ~~
Transportation Director
SUBJECT: Bridge Replacement over Carter Creek
State Project No. 8.1611801
DATE: April 4, 2003 g s~~` ~y3 cf'vs5s ~S
In response~to your request regarding school bus travel over Carter Creek Bridge
on highway 801 South, I have the following comments.
- Currently we have 2 school buses crossing that bridge daily a total of 4 times
each.
- It would be extremely difficult for us to re-route those buses, if the bridge were _
completely closed, due to the circuitry of the surrounding roads: We would
have to back track quite a bit and the routes mentioned. would be~lengthened~
considerably.
- If the road must be closed, I would need to work with you or the contractor to
provide us with an adequate turn around on each side of the bridge.
- It would be helpful if construction could begin ~ during the summer months
before school begins. This would allow parents to adjust their schedules at the
beginning of the school year. In other words, we would not have to begin the
school year with a'particular route and then make a drastic change in pick up
or drop off tunes due to bridge construction.
Please call if I can be of further assistance.

Dear Mr. Thorpe:
Subject: Davie County
B-4104, Bridge No. 21 on NC 801 over Carter Creek
Anything that could be done to improve this bridge would be greatly
appreciated. We are always open for improvements that are beneficial
to the citizens of Davie County and helps with the environment.
When there is fog, rain or snow this is a place you approach with
caution. If this bridge could be replaced and the curve straighten
out, we would have less accidents at this location. Do not hesitate
to let me know, if more input is needed.

Dear Mr. Thorpe,
. I have reviewed the project information from your letter of February 10, 2004. There are
no permits or approvals required by our agency related to this project.
I do recommend replacement of the bridge due to the current location and bridge
condition. The current.location of the bridge is inadequate. The bridge should be .
relocated to the west of it's present location due to the approaching curves and the rapid
grade change from the approaching hills to the bridge deck. Furthermore, relocating the
bridge to the east of its current location could require more disturbance in the flood plain
and more fill area to provide the necessary structural supports. Some roadway
realignment may be required to increase the curve radius for the approaching roadway
segments. However, this should improve safety and reduce potential accidents in the
future.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. Please keep us informed of the status of this
project.
Sincerely,
~~~' - -

the project study area that are or maybe 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.
Technigues/Methodolonies 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 Apri126, 2004.
Findings
Underground Storage Tank (CYST) 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 appazent 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) may be 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 site reconnaissance and one Standard Penetration
Test conducted on the shoulder ~of the existing roadway, in the southeast quadrant.
Findings
There is a very large floodplain to the east and south that appears to have more association with
the Yadkin River than Carter Creek. The edge of it is approximately 100 feet east (downstream)
from the existing roadway. There are rock outcrops in the existing cut slopes on the north
approach. The rock is a foliated biotite granite. There are sporadic rock outcroppings in the
stream. The test boring found roadway fill soils to a depth of about 14 feet, resting on residual
soils that rapidly grade to weathered and hard rock. We expect the hard rock horizon to be
slightly variable between zero to 5 feet below the streambed. '
Anticipated Impacts
Cuts on the north side will likely encounter hard rock. Tlie structure foundations will likely be
driven piles at the end bents and drilled shafts on any interior bents.
If there are any questions regarding these Geotechnical comments, please contact Clinton B.
Little, L.G. or John.L~:.Pilipchuk, L.G., P.E.. at (704)-455-8902 _.
