Replacement of Bridge #430003 on SR 1887 (Chinquapin Road)
Haywood County, North Carolina

Dear Mrs. Amschler:

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Division 14 is replacing bridge
#430003 on SR 1887 (Chinquapin Road) over the East Fork Pigeon River in Haywood County
(see map/study area). This bridge was severely damaged by Tropical Storm Fred on August 17,
2021 and is now being replaced quickly because it serves as the only vehicle access to many
residents of the Cruso community. The replacement will be a new bridge situated a short
distance upstream of the old bridge that will maintain traffic during the new construction. A
written Nationwide 3 verification is hereby requested for the proposed unavoidable impacts of
the replacement in part due to a “may affect not likely to adversely affect” determination for
clearing of some potentially suitable bat roost trees. This project will be funded by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as part of a Federally Declared Emergency.

Section 7
NCDOT coordinated with you and staffs with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) regarding Tropical Storm Fred related Section 7 and 404 permitting procedures in part
on August 22 and 25, 2021 and in a field meeting on September 7, 2021. Also, in accordance
with recent direction from the USFWS, the project was screened using IPAC to determine the
potentially affected listed species. According to the screening conducted on October 1, 2021 the
only federally listed species with the potential to be in or near the project area include
Appalachian elktoe (Alasmidonta raveneliana), rock gnome lichen (Gymnoderma lineare), small
whored pogonia (Isotria medeoloides), gray bat (Myotis grisescens), Indiana bat (Myotis
sodalist), and northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis, NLEB). The IPAC did not
identify old “county list” species that could not be in or near the project area due to specific
habitat requirements. Examples applicable here include spreading avens (Geum radiatum) and

430003 Page 2 October 27, 2021
Haywood County

spruce-fir moss spider (Microhexura montivaga) which were excluded because of a relatively
low elevation at this location.

Appalachian elktoe are found in some well-oxygenated, cool-water rivers with moderate to fast
flowing water and stable, mixed substrates of silt, sand, gravel, and/or cobble. This species is
present Haywood County in the East Fork Pigeon River downstream of Cruso. However, Cruso
is approximately 6 miles upstream of the most recent Natural Heritage element occurrence for
this species (NHP viewer checked on October 1, 2021). The project should have no effect on
this mussel due to this distance and the minimal amount of sedimentation expected from the
construction work.

Rock gnome lichen can be found on rock faces at relatively low elevations in deep river gorges.
A gorge or any rock faces with consistently humid conditions required by this plant are not
present at the bridge. Therefore, the project will have no effect on this species.

Small whorled pagonia usually occurs in open, dry, deciduous woods with acidic soil, though it
can sometimes be found on slopes along streams and mesic forest in association with white pine
and rhododendron. The habitats at the project site include maintained road right-of-ways,
mowed residential lawns, and streambanks with only patches of narrowly wooded riparian buffer
(see photos). Suitable forested stands for this plant are not present.

Gray bats usually roost in caves or in/on structures year-round while Indiana bats and NLEB only
winter in caves or mines with stable, but not freezing, cold temperatures. During warm seasons
Indiana bats and NLEB usually roost on/in structures, under the shaggy bark of live trees such as
white oaks, sycamores, and hickories, or in cavities or under the loose peeling bark of dead trees.

There are no caves near the bridge. The bridge was surveyed for bats and evidence of bat
roosting on August 19 and 21, 2021 and on September 16, 2021 and none were evident. Absence
of bats and signs of bat usage will be confirmed prior to bridge demolition.

This project will not require blasting, but it will require the removal of approximately 25 trees
(>3 inch diameter) and short-term (couple days) percussive activity (e,g. guardrail post driving).
A few trees to be removed appear suitable for bat roosting because they have peeling or loose
bark. Trees will be removed from October 15 to April 1 when active tree roosting by bats is
unlikely.

There should be no night work for construction and there will be no permanent lighting installed
on the project. There is no existing permanent street lighting evident near the site. There are
some sources of light near the bridge associated with nearby private residences and a volunteer
fire station adjacent to US Highway 276. However, the removal of trees for the bridge project
should not appreciably increase the illumination of the river because riparian vegetation is
already absent along several hundred feet of the left bank of the river upstream and downstream
of the site. Moreover, after tree removal the residential lights on the east side of the river are not
likely to appreciably increase the illumination of the river proper following tree removal because
they are not close to the top of the river banks and not within line-of-sight of the channel due to
the high and steep river banks in this location. For these reasons, and with the inclusion of

430003 Page 3 October 27, 2021
Haywood County

October 15 to April 1 “winter” tree clearing, we believe the project “may affect but not adversely
affect” gray bat, Indiana bat, and NLEB.

Section 106
The project is not expected to have effects on 106 resources. There was a “no survey required”
determination rendered for archaeology. Consultation with the federally recognized tribes has been
initiated with comments requested by October 8, 2020. No comments have ben received to date. A
determination of “no historic properties affected” was rendered for historic architecture.

Impacts to Waters of the United States
The project area (see attached) was surveyed for jurisdictional features on September 15, 2021. The only
feature noted is the mainstem of the East Fork Pigeon River. The East Fork Pigeon River (DEQ Class:
WS-III, Tr.) has a large watershed and supports fish including wild trout. The river is believed to be
Relatively Permanent Waters and under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In order to
construct the project, it will be necessary to impact Waters of the United States in the Pigeon River Basin
(HUC 06010106010010). Specifically, NCDOT is requesting to perform fills for rip rap bank protection,
as specified in the following table.

Site No.

Existing Condition Proposed Condition Net
Impacts
1 old bridge and river banks; rip rap for
temporary repairs Rip rap stabilization 115
2 River bank Rip Rap at pipe outlet 21

Total Permanent Stream Impact 136

Compensatory mitigation has not been proposed because the permanent and temporary impacts are
minimal overall. Permanent impacts are for rip rap protection only and thereby do not constitute an
appreciable loss or diminution of aquatic habitat. This river is a cobble dominated high energy river with
rocky banks and bed.

Permits Requested
NCDOT is hereby requesting authorization under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act to proceed with the
construction project outlined above. This application has been sent to the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ), Division of Water Resources (DWR) for a written GC, as needed. By
copy of this letter, I am asking Mrs. Marla Chambers, Western NCDOT Review Coordinator of the
WRC, to comment directly to the regulatory agencies and myself concerning the Nationwide Permit
Verification and 401 WQC Written requests. Note, by email dated September 10, 2021 Mrs. Chambers
has already noted that the WRC waived the trout moratorium for this emergency project.

Please contact me at [phone] if you have any questions about this application or need additional
information. Your prompt review and consideration of this request will be greatly appreciated.

Project Description:
Replace Bridge No. 3 on SR 1887 (Chinquapin Road).

Description of review activities, field surveys, results, and conclusions:
Review of HPO quad maps, HPO GIS information, historic designations roster, and indexes was
undertaken on August 26, 2021. Based on this review, there is a survey site bridge and a one-
story brick structure within the APE, which is defined on the following maps. Bridge No. 3 is
listed as not eligible according to the NCDOT Historic Bridge inventory, however it has a survey
site number of HW0329. After reviewing the bridge, it is confirmed that it is not eligible for NR
listing. The historic one-story brick structure, which appears to be a former store, immediately
north of the bridge will not be affected by this project, as the plans call to shift the bridge south
of the existing bridge. There are no National Register listed or eligible properties affected and
no survey is required. If design plans change, additional review will be required.

Project Description:
Replace Bridge 3 on SR 1887 (Chinquapin Rd.) over the East Fork Pigeon River in Haywood
County. The Area of Potential Effects (A.P.E.), based on the study area provided by the project
manager, inclues approximately 121 meters (396 ft.) along SR 1887 and 40 meters (132 ft.) along
Bridge 3. This is an emergency bridge replacement due to a flash flood event (Federal Emergency
Management Agency funding). The failed bridge will be replaced with a new bridge along the
south side of the existing bridge. The project is federally funded and will require federal permits,
so this review is conducted pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
The review included an examination of a topographic map, the Haywood County soil survey, an
aerial photograph, and an examination of records about previously recorded sites, previous
archaeological surveys, and previous environmental reviews at the North Carolina Office of State
Archaeology (OSA) in Raleigh. The bridge is oriented northwest to southeast but is considered
east-west for this review.

The topographic map (Cruso, N.C.) shows the A.P.E. is in a wide stream valley. The landform in
the A.P.E. is floodplain. There are three structures shown within/adjacent to the A.P.E. along the
east side of SR 1887, and one on the east side of US 276 north of the bridge. The floodplain is
depicted as cleared land, presumably for agriculture, so it is probably well drained. Well drained
floodplain along streams has a moderate to high potential for prehistoric archaeological sites.

The Haywood County soil survey shows the soil in the A.P.E. is Dellwood cobbly sandy loam (0-
3% slopes), occasionally flooded. Dellwood loam is a moderately well drained soil found on
floodplains. In general, level, well-drained land near streams has a moderate to high potential for
prehistoric archaeological sites.

The aerial photograph shows the landuse in the A.P.E. is residential yards and maintained areas.
The northwest quadrant is a narrow strip of maintained land on the north side of the bridge between
the river and US 276. The southwest quadrant is a narrow strip of maintained land on the south
side of the bridge between the river and the highway. The southeast quadrant includes land along
both sides of Campers Lane (SR 1887 runs north from the bridge along the east side of the river.
Campers Lane runs south from the bridge along the east side of the river ). The A.P.E. on the west
Project Tracking No.
21-08-0013
2020 PROGRAMMATIC AGREEMENT ARCHAEOLOGY TEAM “NO ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY REQUIRED” FORM

side of Campers Lane is a narrow strip of maintained land on the south side of the bridge, between
Campers Lane and the river. The east side of Campers Lane is residential yards (and a driveway)
of three trailer homes. The northeast quadrant includes land along both sides of SR 1887. The
west side of SR 1887 is a narrow strip of wooded land between the road and the river. The east
side is residential yard(s).

There are no previously recorded archaeological sites within or adjacent to the A.P.E. There are
no projects that have been reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) within the
A.P.E. The A.P.E. is not within any areas that have been surveyed for archaeological sites.

(This project falls within a North Carolina County in which the following federally recognized
tribes have expressed an interest: the Cherokee Nation; Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians;
United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians; the Catawba Indian Nation; the Muscogee
(Creek) Nation. We recommend that you ensure that this documentation is forwarded to these
tribes using the process described in the current NCDOT Tribal Protocol and PA Procedures
Manual.)

Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably
predicting that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE:

The bridge replacement will impact landforms with a low potential for archaeological sites. While
the landform in the A.P.E. is level, well-drained floodplain, the landuse in the A.P.E. is residential
yards and maintained land.

Subject: Tropical Storm Fred Bridge Replacements
DF17614 (FEMA) and 17614 (Federal Highway Administration)
Haywood County, North Carolina

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is pursuing the replacement of
several bridges that were destroyed or severely damaged in Haywood County, North Carolina by
tropical storm Fred on August 17, 2021. Some communities only have temporary accesses which
need to be replaced soon with safer and reliable permanent structures. These bridge projects are
being reviewed by qualified archaeology staffs under NCDOT’s 2021 Section 106 programmatic
agreement with the Federal Highway Administration, NC State Historic Preservation Office, US
Forest Service, and others. The replacement of five of the bridges may affect small areas of
ground adjacent to the roads that appear previously undisturbed by highway construction. To
assist in our Section 106 review, we would appreciate advisement concerning the potential
presence of any archaeological resources in the vicinity the bridges.

Attached to this transmittal are maps of bridge locations. The subject bridges include:

Project Built-Upon Area (ac.)
Bridge 430003 is located on Chinquapin Road (SR 1887). The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to replace the subject bridge. The purpose of
the project is to replace the failing steel beam on masonry abutment structure following damage it sustained from TS Fred induced flooding on Augist 17, 2021. The new bridge
will be a concrete vertical abutment bridge with a cored slab deck measuring 30' by 85'. Traffic will be detoured onsite utilizing the existing bridge that will remain open while the
new bridge is constructed a short distance upstream. The proposed bridge drainage includes a drop inlet to pipe (15") situated on the bridge approach shoulder NW of the bridge
that will drain onto rip rap landward of the top of the streambank. Drainage elsewhere will also not directly discharge to surface water either via sheet flow or via a storm drain
under US Highway 276 SW of the bridge that will dissipate onto a rip rap slope at the river.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil

Web Soil Survey URL:
Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.
This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data
as of the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: Haywood County Area, North Carolina
Survey Area Data: Version 21, Jun 3, 2020
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales
1:50,000 or larger.

The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor
shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.

Description
Farmland classification identifies map units as prime farmland, farmland of
statewide importance, farmland of local importance, or unique farmland. It
identifies the location and extent of the soils that are best suited to food, feed,
fiber, forage, and oilseed crops. NRCS policy and procedures on prime and
unique farmlands are published in the "Federal Register," Vol. 43, No. 21,
January 31, 1978.
