NC Moving Ahead Project No. 14024R
US 19/74/129 Safety Improvements - RCBC Culvert Extension
Worm Creek
Cherokee County
State Project No. 39148 (DWQ Minor Permit Fee $200)
Dear Mr. Baker:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing a spot safety project on
US 19/74/129 (Andrews By-Pass) from east of US 19 Business to east of Worm Creek near
Andrews. This project entails lengthening the radius of curvature to make the transition zone
between the 4-lane and 2-lane highway safer for the traveling public. The length of the project is
approximately l OSO linear feet. This project has been identified as a necessary safety
improvement under the North Carolina Moving Ahead Program. NCDOT would like to let this
project to contract during the spring of 2007.
The project will require a 32-foot extension on the inlet end of a double barrel reinforced
concrete box culvert in Worm Creek. I am sending plans with the proposed erosion control and
construction limits along this project as well as plan sheets for the construction sequence of the
culvert extension. I have also included roadway plan views, photos, as well as a marked county
map and USGS quad map.
Threatened and Endangered Species
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Database was checked for records of federally threatened
and endangered species. There are no records for listed species for Worm Creek or the Valley
River; however, there are records of the sicklefin redhorse (Moxostoma sp.) a species of federal

concern, occurring in the Valley River several miles downstream of the project site. Based on
available information, there will be "no effect" on threatened and endangered species.
If the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the Office of State Archaeology determines
that further investigations are required, NCDOT will conduct the appropriate site investigations
and obtain compliance from SHPO prior to project construction.
The best management practices will be used to minimize and control sedimentation and erosion
on this project. The construction foreman will review all erosion control measures daily to
ensure sedimentation and erosion is being effectively controlled. If the planned devices are not
functioning as intended, they will be immediately replaced with better devices. The rock silt
screens and other erosion control devices will be in place prior to pipe culvert installation and
will remain in place until the project is stabilized.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Worm Creek is shown as a blue lined stream on the USGS topographic map and has perennial
flow, which falls under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers. In order to construct
the project it will be necessary to impact waters of the United States in the Hiwassee River Basin.
Specifically, NCDOT is requesting to extend one double barrel reinforced concrete box culvert in
Worm Creek (DWQ Class C). Listed below is a summary of the proposed impacts.

Permits Requested
NCDOT is hereby requesting authorization under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act to proceed
with the construction project outlined above. By copy of this letter, I am asking Mr. David
McHenry, Mountain Region Coordinator of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
(NCWRC) to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit request.
Also, by copy of this letter, I am requesting authorization under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR},
Division of Water Quality (DWQ). In addition, I am requesting Mr. McHenry and Mr. Ed Ingle,
Roadside Environmental Field Operations Engineer (NCDOT) to comment directly to me
concerning this permit request.

accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs maybe included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.

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
trout pond,

were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Stream impacts could not be
avoided The RCBC must be extended in order to gain the necessary width to meet the project
safetyobjectives Temporary diversion dikes will be used to provide a drv work environment
and prevent wet concrete from entering surface waters. (See attached construction sequence for
culvert) A sill will be placed in one of the barrels on the inlet end of the culvert to maintain
adequate flow in the culvert during_periods of low flow.
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 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/strm~ide.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.
