Replace Bridge No. 201 on SR 1158 (Jones Road) over Britten Creek
Polk County, North Carolina
W13S Element No. 17BP14.R.76 (DWQ Minor Permit I'ee $240.00)
Dear Ms. Beck���idi:
The North Carolina Department of Transport�tion (NCDOT) is proposing to replace the subject
bridge. Tl�e e�isting bridge structtire is a 19' L 1 12' W single spin timbei• bi'idge in need of
replacemeut due to deterioiation and insufLcient width. Tlie proposed replacement stracture will
be 2 rr 103" W� 71" H x 22' L Aluminized Pipe A��ches on � 90 degrce skew. "I'he bridge will
be closed during installation of the cnlverts. No derour is necessaiy because the bridge is at tl�e
end of State Maintenance aud connects to an agricultural field. The slope of the culvert is
relatively Ylat (1.5%) and should pose no problem wit� 1�uatic life plssage. The ciilvert �vill be
buried one foot Uelow the streambed elevation to maintain suUstrate in the pipe and ensure
aquatic life passage, especiTlly duriug during periods of low ilow. No floodplain benches will be
required at tliis site.
I am enclosing a YCN �pplication, Rapv�os Jurisdictioual form, SHPO forms, EEY Mitigatiou
Acceptance Letter, bridge snrvey repot•t aitd plan sheet slio��ving tlte proposed work, a marked
coanty map, a USGS quad map and photographs. There are no formal plans for this project since
tllis is at the eiid of a state maintained roTd and tlie bi idge onl}� seives the agriculhiral field.
Tl�e Nortli Carolin� Natural Heritage Database lists 16 species with Federal status tl�at are luiown
from Polk Counry from either historic or current records. Two species, dwarf-flo�vered heartleaf
(Hesnsrylis nani�loi•n) and white irisette (Sisyriiachrlm� diclrotomlun), are listed as tlu•eatened aud
endangered respectively. Additionally, there is a record for the small whorled pogonia (I.cob•in

Bridge No. 201 — Polk County Page 2
September 18, 2013
There are nnmerous records for the white irisette that occur withiu a five mile radius of the
projecL Tliese records occur within both Polk and Rutherford counties. Additionally, a record
for tl�e small whorled pogoni� is also within the tive mile radius within RuUierford County.
The general landscape in the project area is a mosaic of both deciduous and pine forest with some
open agricultural land. The area in the iminediate vicinity of the bridge is agricaltural aud has
been highly disturbed frau agricultural lields aud farm coads. Tl�e riparian buffer is miuimal and
caisists prim�ril}� of shriibUy gro�vth ou the streamba�ilcs. The soil map unit for tlie project site is
Riverview and the elevatiou is approximately 960 leet.
According to die U.S. Pish ancl Wildliie Service (USPWS), wl�ite irisette is fouud ou
"iuid-elevation slopes, characterized by open, dry to ruoderate-moisture oak-hickoiy forests.
White irisette usually grows in shallow soils on regularly ciisturbed sites (such as ���oodland edges
and roadsides) and over rocky, steep terr�in." Soils �lso tend to be basic to neutral. The
Riveiview soils have greater moistiire and acidity than those typical of white irisette habitat.
Additionally, tlie elevation at the project site is signiticailtly lower tliau rypical white irisette
l�abitat. Therefore, haUitat appears to be lacking for white irisette at tl�e project site.
Dwarf-flowered l�eartleafhabitat is characterized by the USFWS as; "acidic soils along bluffs
aud acijaceut slopes, in boggy areas nest to streams aud creek l�eads, and along the slopes of
nearby hillsides and ravines." The dwarf-flowered l�eartleaf appears to prefer sandy soils aud is
t}�pically found ai Pacolet or Madison gravelly saudy loam or Musell� fiue saudy loaui.
Ho�vever, the soil at tl�e project is Riveiview aud is not a preferred soi1. The closest dwarf-
flow�ered heartleaf record is approximately 16.5 miles in the southeast corner of Polk County.
The small whorled pogonia generally occurs in open, d�y, deciduous �voods with acid soil
according to the U.S. Pish and Wildlife Service. However, it is also kuo�vn to occur in a variety
oY habitats in Nortli Carol'uia, including along streams. Tl�e �abitat in the viciuity of the project
l�as bcen higlily disturbed due to agricultural fields and roads. The riparian area is veiy narrow
has also been highly disturbed and appears to be n�aintaiued in lo��v growiug vegetation.
Tl�erefore, the lilbitat at the bridge appears to have minimal potential to support the small
�vhorled pogonia.
The project is limited in scope and habitat appears to Ue lacking at the project site for the listed
species. No threatened or enda�igered species were obseived dtiring the field scoping meeting.
For these reasons and those listed above, we recommend a"no effecN' determination for
federally tlu•eatened and endai�gered species.
This project was revie���ed for l�istoric and cultural resoiu•ces by tlie NCDOT's Human
�nvironment Unit in 2012. It was determined that ueither historic architecture nor archaeology
required a sm•vey (see attachecl foims).
NCDOT best manageruent practices ��vill be used to minimize and control erosiai and
sedimentation on this project. The constraction foreman will review all erosion control measures

daily to eusure erosiou aud sedimentation are being controlled effectivel}�. If the devices are not
fuuctioning as iutended, they will be replaced invnediately widi better devices.
Impacts to Waters of tlie United States
Britten Creek (DWQ Class: C) is showu on the USGS topographic map as a perennial stream.
The chamiel is well defiued aud is appro�imately 14 feet iu widtli. The stream has sufficient
tlow to support fish Tnd otlier aquatic life. The substrate is primarily gravel and saud/silt.
Britten Ci•eek flows approximately 2.E miles into Green River. The Green River meets the
defliiition of a Traditional Navigable Water. For these reasons, we believe tliat Britten Ci•eek is a
Relati��ely Perm�nent Water aud is uuder the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps oY Engiueers.
In order to construct tlie project, it will be necessaiy ro impact waters of tlie United States in the
Broad River Basiu (I IUC 03050105). Specifically, NCDOT is requesting to replace Bridge No.

D. Impact Justification ancl Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures laken lo avoid or minimize lhe proposed impacts in designing project.
The aluminized arch pipes were sized for the hydraulic needs of the site. Headwalls and wingwalls will be used to
minimize impact to the slream. The culverts will be installed 1 foot below lhe slreambed elevation to provide for aquatic
life passage, especially during periods of low flow.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
In stream work will be performed in the dry using an impervious dike and pipe to divert the water around the work area.
Appropriate BMPs according lo the approved erosion and sedimentation control plan will be inslalled on the project prior
to culvert installation.
