Sabject: Nationwide 14 Permit Application and Randleman Lake Riparian Buffer Authorization for the
replacement of Bridge No. 895 on SR 1486 (East Lesington Ave.) over Bou(ding Branch,
Guilfard County, North Carolina, WBS Element No. 17BP.7.R.22
Dear Mr. Wi(liams and Ms. Homewood:
The Noirth Carolina Departmei�t of Transportation (NCDOT� is proposing to replace the subject bridge. The
purpose of the project is to replace a functionally obsolete hvo-spau bridge with two new, 14' W by 10' H
reii�forced eonerete bo� culverts. An off-site detour will be used to convey traffic during covstruction. The
project �vill also include some minor approach �vork on the existing road�vay.
Please find enc(osed a PCN application, Stornni�ater Management Plan, permit drawings, buffer drawings, a
USGS quad map, and photographs.
NCDOT best mauagement practices (BMPs} �vill be used to mini�nize and control sedimentation and erosion.
The coi�struction foreman �vill revie�v the BMPs daily to ensure erosiou and sedimentation is being
effectively controlled. If t(ie foreman determines the devices are not fuuctioning as iutended, they will be
replaced immediately �vith better devices.
Imp�cts to Waters of tlie United States
Bouldivg Brauch (DWR Class: WS-IV) is shown on the USGS topographic map and NRCS Soil Survey map
as a perevnial sh�eam. The channel is �vell defined wiUi a substrate primarily canposed of sand, silt, and
gravel and is appro�imately 15 feet in width. Boulding Brauch flows approximately 2 miles to its confluence
with the West Fork Deep River, which then flows approximately 5 miles ivto Raudleman Lake, which drains
to the Cape Fear River. The Cape Fear River meets the definition of a Traditional Navigable Water. Por
these reasons, we believe Bould'uig Creek is a Relatively Permanent Water and is under the jiu�isdiction of
tlie U.S. Army Corps o£ Engineers. In order to construct the project, it �vill be necessary to impact waters of
the United States in the Cape Pear River Basin (HUC 03030003). Specifically, NCDOT is requesting to
replace Bridge No. 895 �vith hvo reinforced conerete bos culverts. The impacts are listed in the table below:

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The proposed project is to remove the existing two span structure and replace it with a double, reinforced, concrete box
culvert. Roadway approach work is minimized as much as is practical to reduce the overall project footprint. Impacts to
lhe associated protected riparian buffers has also been reduced by promoting sheet flow, out-letting drainage pipes
outside the riparian buffer and proposing rip rap aprons to reduce the flow to non-erosive velocities.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of surtace waters,
restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US and coordination (including a pre-
construction meeting) with the Division Environmental Supervisor.

since little (if any) new impervious surface is added and the projects are usually in already developed Iocales." This
proposed project is within a somewhat developed landscape (i.e. existing residential homes in the vicinity), this is not a
road on a new location (i.e. there is an existing road and bridge structure and thus, the area already contains impervious
surtaces) and the project drains to Boulding Branch which is Water Supply (WS) IV (i.e. not HWQ or ORW or 303(d) listed

Subject: Nationwide 14 Permit Application and Randleman Lake Riparian Buffer Autha•ization for the
replacement of Bridge No. 895 on SR 1486 (East Lexington Ave.) over Boulding Branch,
Guilford County, North Carolina, WBS Element No. 17BP.ZR22
Dear Mr. Williams and Ms. Homewood:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to replace the subject bridge. The
purpose of the project is to replace a functionally obsolete two-span bridge with two new, 14' W by 10' H
reinforced concrete box culve�ts. An off-site detour will be used to wnvey traffic during const�uction. The
project will also include some minor approach work on the existing roadway.
Please find enclosed a PCN application, Stormwater Management Plan, permit drawings, buffer drawings, a
USGS quad map, and photographs.
NCDOT best management practices (BMPs) will be used to minimize and control sedimentation and erosion.
The construction foreman will review the BMPs daily to ensure erosion and sedimentation is being
effectively controlled. If the foreman determines tlie devices are not functioning as intended, they will be
replaced immediately with better devices.
Impacfs to Waters of the United States
Boulding Branch (DWR Class: WS-IV) is shown on the USGS topographic map and NRCS Soil Survey map
as a perennial stream. The channel is well defined with a substrate primarily composed of sand, silt, and
gravel and is approximately 15 feet in width. Boulding Branch flows approximately 2 miles to its confluence
with the West Fork Deep River, which then flows approximately 5 miles into Randleman Lake, which drains
to the Cape Fear River. The Cape Fear River meets the definition of a Traditional Navigable Water. For
these reasons, we believe Boulding Creek is a Relatively Permanent Water and is 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 Cape Fear River Basin (HUC 03030003). Specifically, NCDOT is requesting to
replace Bridge No. 895 with rivo reinforced concrete box culverts. The impacts are listed in the table below:

Natural Resources Technical Report TIP 17BP. 7.R.22, Guilford County, N.C.
4.0 BIOTIC RESOURCES
4.1. Terrestrial Communities
Two terrestrial communities were identified in the study area: maintained/disturbed, and
piedmont/mountain bottomland forest. Figure 3 shows the location and extent of these
terrestrial communities. A brief description of each community type follows. Scientific
names of all species identified are included in Appendix B.
4.1.1. Maintained/Disturbed
Maintained/disturbed areas compose most of the study area in places where the
vegetation is periodically mowed, such as roadside shoulders, the greenway trail, and
residential lawns. The vegetation in this community is comprised of low growing grasses
and herbs, including Tall Fescue, Bermuda Grass, Crabgrass, Purple Violet, Clover, Wild
Garlic, and Purple Henbit. Some canopy species observed within this community type
include Loblolly Pine and Red Maple.
4.1.2. Piedmont/Mountain Bottomland Forest
The Piedmont/Mountain Bottomland Forest community occurs along the floodplain of
Boulding Branch where periodic overbank flooding occurs. Sycamore, Red Maple,
Sweetgum, Green Ash, Black Walnut, Tulip Poplar, and Box Elder dominate the canopy,
while Red Mulberry, Red Maple, Green Ash, Sugar Maple, Red Elm, and Redbud occur
in the subcanopy. Shrub layer species observed include Silky Dogwood, Sweet Breath of
Spring, Multiflora rose, Tree-of-Heaven, and Chinese Privet. Herb species include
Spotted Jewelweed, False Nettle, Pokeweed, Mugwort, Wingstem, Japanese Stiltgrass,
and Japanese Knotweed. Vines include Poison ivy, Muscadine Grape, Common
Greenbrier, English Ivy, Virginia Creeper, Gill-Over-the-Ground, and Japanese
Honeysuckle. Included within this community is a floodplain depression, which is
classified as bottomland hardwood forests using the NCWAM classification.
4.1.3. Terrestrial Community Impacts
Terrestrial communities may be impacted by project construction as a result of grading
and paving of portions of the study area. At this time, decisions regarding the final
location and design of the proposed bridge replacement have not been made. Therefore,
community data are presented in the context of total coverage of each type within the
study area (Table 4). Once a final alignment and preliminary design have been
determined, probable impacts to each community type will be calculated.

Terrestrial communities in the study area are comprised of both natural and disturbed
habitats that may support a diversity of wildlife species (those species actually observed
are indicated with *). Mammal species that commonly exploit forested habitats and
stream corridors found within the study area include Eastern Gray Squirrel*, Grey Fox,
Eastern Cottontail, Raccoon, Virginia Opossum, and White-tailed Deer. Birds that
commonly use forest and forest edge habitats include American Crow*, Blue Jay*,
Carolina Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse*, Red-shouldered Hawk, Yellow-bellied
Sapsucker, Eastern Towhee*, Northern Cardinal*, Carolina Wren, and Yellow-rumped
Warbler. Birds that may use the open habitat or water bodies within the study area
include American Kestrel, Red-tailed Hawk, Belted Kingfisher, Eastern Bluebird*, Field
Sparrow, Eastern Meadowlark, Black Vulture, and Turkey Vulture. Reptile and
amphibian species that may use terrestrial communities include Black Rat Snake,
Northern Copperhead, Corn Snake, Eastern Box Turtle, Ground Skink, Eastern Fence
Lizard, Five-lined Skink, Fowler's Toad, American Toad*, Spotted Salamander, and
Marbled Salamander.
4.3. Aquatic Communities
Aquatic communities in the study area consist of both perennial and intermittent
piedmont streams, and riverine wetlands. Perennial streams could support Bluehead
Chub, Redbreast Sunfish, Eastern Mosquitofish*, and Northern Dusky Salamander*
Intermittent streams are relatively small in size and support aquatic communities of
Spring Peeper, Crayfish, and various benthic macroinvertebrates.
4.4. Invasive Species
Ten species from the NCDOT Invasive Exotic Plant List for North Carolina were found
in the study area; Mimosa (Moderate Threat), Tree-of-Heaven (Threat), Chinese Privet
(Threat), Multiflora Rose (Threat), Japanese Knotweed (Threat), Gill-Over-The-Ground
(Moderate Threat), English Ivy (Moderate Threat), Japanese Stiltgrass (Threat), Japanese
Honeysuckle (Moderate Threat), and Sweet Breath of Spring (Watch List). NCDOT will
manage invasive plant species as appropriate.

5.0 JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES
5.1. Clean Water Act Waters of the U.S.
Three jurisdictional streams were identified in the study area (Table 5). The location of
these streams is shown on Figure 4. USACE and NCDWQ stream delineation forms are
included in Appendix C. The physical characteristics and water quality designations of
each jurisdictional stream are detailed in Section 3.2. All jurisdictional streams have
been designated as warm water streams for the purposes of stream mitigation.

(USGS Hydrologic Unit 03030003). USACE wetland delineation forms and NCDWQ
wetland rating forms for each site are included in Appendix C. Descriptions of the
terrestrial communities for the wetland are presented in Section 4.1. Wetland WA is
included within the Piedmont/Mountain Bottomland Forest community.

5.2. Clean Water Act Permits
The proposed project has been designated as a Categorical Exclusion (CE) for the
purposes of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation. As a result, a
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 23 will likely be applicable. A NWP No. 33 may also apply
for temporary construction activities such as stream dewatering, work bridges, or
temporary causeways that are often used during bridge construction or rehabilitation.
The USACE holds the final discretion as to what permit will be required to authorize
project construction. If a Section 404 permit is required then a Section 401 Water
Quality Certification (WQC) from the NCDWQ will be needed.
5 August 2012

Natural Resources Technical Report TIP 17BP. 7.R.22, Guilford County, N.C.
5.3. Coastal Area Management Act Areas of Environmental Concern
The project is in Guilford County which is not subject to the rules and policies of the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM); therefore there are no
Coastal Areas Management Act (CAMA) Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC).
5.4. Construction Moratoria
No construction moratoria are anticipated.
5.5. NC River Basin Buffer Rules
Streamside riparian zones within the study area are protected under provisions of the
Randleman Lake Buffer Rules administered by NCDWQ. Table 5 indicates which
streams are subject to buffer rule protection. Randleman Lake Buffer Rules allow the
inclusion of streams not shown on the USGS topographic Quadrangle or USDA-NRCS
County Soils Map at the discretion of the Division of Water Quality or local Buffer
Administrator. Potential impacts to protected stream buffers will be determined once a
final alignment and design have been determined and after the final buffer determination.
Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 Navigable Waters
No waters within the project study have been designated by the USACE as a Navigable
Water under Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act.
5.6. Wetland and Stream Mitigation
5.6.1. Avoidance and Minimization of Impacts
The NCDOT will attempt to avoid and minimize impacts to streams and wetlands to the
greatest extent practicable in choosing a preferred alternative and during project design.
At this time, no final decisions have been made with regard to the location or design of
the preferred alternative.
5.6.2. Compensatory Mitigation of Impacts
The NCDOT will investigate potential on-site stream and wetland mitigation
opportunities once a final decision has been rendered on the location of the preferred
alternative. If on-site mitigation is not feasible, mitigation will be provided by North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (EEP) if required.
5.7. Endangered Species Act Protected Species
As of September 22, 2010, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (LTSFWS) lists
one federally protected species for Guilford County (Table 7). A brief description of its
habitat reguirements follows, along with the Biological Conclusion rendered based on
6 August 2012

Natural Resources Technical Report
TIP 17BP.7.R.22, Guilford County, N.C.
survey results in the study area. Habitat requirements are based on the current best
available information from referenced literature and/or USFWS.

USFWS Optimal Survey Window: mid May-early July
Biological
Conclusion
No Effect
Habitat Description: Small Whorled Pogonia occurs in young as well as maturing
(second to third successional growth) mixed-deciduous or mixed-
deciduous/coniferous forests. It does not appear to exhibit strong affinities for a
particular aspect, soil type, or underlying geologic substrate. In North Carolina,
the perennial orchid is typically found in open, dry deciduous woods and is often
associated with white pine and rhododendron. The species may also be found on
dry, rocky, wooded slopes; moist slopes; ravines lacking stream channels; or
slope bases near braided channels of vernal streams. The orchid, often limited by
shade, requires small light gaps or canopy breaks, and typically grows under
canopies that are relatively open or near features ]ike logging roads or streams
that create long-persisting breaks in the forest canopy.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Surveys were conducted during the flowering window on June 14, 2012, by Chris
Sheats and Nancy Scott of Catena. The forested habitat within the study area was
surveyed and while habitat was marginal in those select areas no stems were
found.
5.8. Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle Protection Act
Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forest in proximity to large bodies
of open water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically
within 1.0 mile of open water.
A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area, as well as the area within a
1.13-mile radius (1.0 mile plus 660 feet) of the project limits, was performed on July 10
2012, using 2010 color aerials. No water bodies large enough or sufficiently open to be
considered potential feeding sources were identified. Since there was no foraging habitat
within the review area, a survey of the project study area and the area within 660 feet of
the project limits was not conducted. Additionally, a review of the NCNHP database on
March 9, 2012, revealed no known occurrences of this species within 1.0 mile of the
project study area. Due to the lack of habitat, known occurrences, and minimal impact
7 August 2012

Natural Resources Technical Report TIP 17BP. 7.R.22, Guilford County, N.C.
anticipated for this project, it has been deter�nined that this project will not affect this
species.
5.9. Endangered Species Act Candidate Species
There are no candidate species listed for Guilford County.
5.10. Essential Fish Habitat
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has not identified any Essential Fish
Habitat within the project study area.

Project is State-funded; Federal permits required; no easements will be required.
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL HESUUKC;r;� 1t�Vlr;W
Briefdescri�tion ofreviewactivities results ofreview and conclusions: Review included
examination of topographic map, aerial photograph, and listings of previously recorded sites,
previous archaeological surveys, and previous environmental reviews at the Office of State
Archaeology. Topographic map (High Point East, N.C.) and aerial photograph shows the
A.P.E. is located in a densely developed urban area. The landform in the northwest quadrant
appears to be a drainage valley. There is a house located near the bridge in the southwest
quadrant. The landform in the southeast and northeast quadrants is a level area next to the
creek, and then a ridge toe. There is a greenway or jogging ti•ail located along the east side of
Boundin Branch that has probably impacted some of the flat ground in the southeast and
northeast quadrants. The ridge toe in the southeast and northeast quadrants is densely
developed. There are no previously recorded archaeological sites within the A.P.E., although
31GF439 is recorded on the north side of SR 1486 approximately 100 meters (328 ft.) west of
the bridge. The greenway/jogging trail mentioned above has been reviewed by the State
Historic Preservation Oiice (HPO).
Brief Ex�lanation of why the available information �rovides a reliable basis for
reasonablv nredictin� that there are no unidentifred historic �roperties in the APE: The
review indicates the A.P.E. has a low potential for prehistoric archaeological sites. It. is located
in a densely developed urban area. The landforms with any archaeological probability have
been disturbed by development. The proposed road realignment has little potential to impact
any archaeological sites.
