EASLEY DNISION OF HIGHWAYS LYNDO TIPPETT GOVERNOR SECRETARY July 31, 2007 O 1 3 1 7 Mr. Steve Lund US Army Corp of Engineers Asheville Regulatory Field Office 151 Patton Avenue, Room 208 Asheville, N. C. 28801-5006 SUBJECT: Pipe Replacement on SR 1549 (Leman Gap Road), Cleveland County Dear Mr. Lund: The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace a 60-foot, 72" pipe on SR 1549 (Leman Gap Road) in Cleveland County with a 70-foot, 84" CMP with inlet and outlet headwalls and associated riprap for structure stabilization. The adjacent property owner, Olive Grove Baptist Church, has modified the channel immediately upstream of the culvert. The church periodically dams the flow of water to conduct baptisms and then releases the dammed water. It appears that the church have utilized concrete slabs to stabilize the bank and bed of the stream. Additionally, a shallow scour hole has formed at the existing pipe outlet. NCDOT anticipates that the church will continue this water damming and release practice and therefore will not be removing the concrete slabs from the bed and bank of the stream channel outside of ROW nor will we be reconstructing the overwidened downstream channel to a "normal" channel width. Surficial bedrock was observed in the area, therefore, NCDOT proposes to place the new pipe on streambed grade. Due to the existing site conditions, NCDOT requests a waiver from the Regional Condition 2(b)(e) permit depth specification, for the construction of this project. Temporary cofferdams and bypass pumping will be used for stream management during construction. Upon project completion, the area impacted by the temporary cofferdams will be returned to pre-project conditions and seeded and stabilized. The total scope of the work will result in 20 feet of permanent impacts to Knob Creek (Big Knob Creek), which is classified as Class C waters by the Division of Water Quality. The project is not located within '/z mile of any critical watershed area nor is SR 1549 a rural or urban arterial; therefore, hazardous spill basins are not required. Enclosed is the hazardous spill basin checklist. SR 1549, Leman Gap Road Page 2 July 31, 2007 This office has conducted a GIS and field survey for the project for historical sites and threatened/endangered species sites. No sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places are located in the vicinity of the project nor did there appear to be any eligible structures. The federally listed species for Cleveland County (USFWS listed dated March 8, 2006) include the dwarf-flowered heartleaf (Hexastylis nan~ora). Natural Heritage Program records document the nearest dwarf-flowered heartleaf location approximately 2.5 miles northeast (in Burke County) of the proposed project area. The heartleaf is usually found on dry to moist ravine slopes (usually north facing and of the oak-hickory-pine forest type) and in boggy areas near springheads. No heartleaf species were observed and there does not appear to be suitable habitat within the proposed project. NCDOT is recommending a finding of "no effect" for T&E species and historical structures. I have enclosed apre-construction notification for a NW# 14, sketches of planned activities, and location maps relative to the project. Project information for the 401 Automated Payment Procedure is as follows: • Work order number: 150464-55120005-12B.202311-3855 • TIP #: NA • Project Category: $200.00 Fee If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at (704) 480-9044.

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. Page 5 of 8 USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html. 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. MITIGATION NOT ANTICIPATED. 2. Mitigation may 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 (919) 715-0476 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 additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm.
