EASLEY LYNDO TIPPETT GOVERNOR SECRETARY July 26, 2007 Mr. David Baker, NCDOT Regulatory Project Manager __ U. S. Army Corps of Engineers ~ ~ ~. i =) ~1 '--~ 2 151 Patton Avenue, Room 208 Asheville, NC 28801-2714 y , Subject: NW 23 Permit Application -TIl' No. B-3666 `1~` Bridge Number 53 on SR 1799 over North Branch of Hungry River Henderson Courrty Action ID Number 200230310 Dear Mr. Baker: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to replace Bridge Number 53 on SR 1799 over Hungry River (C, Tr) in Henderson County. During recent flood events, the old structure was washed away. NCDOT proposes to replace this structure at the old bridge location. A temporary bridge was constructed by laying beams on the old concrete footers that remained after the floods. There are two interior footers currently in the water, and the western end bent is partially in the water. These footers will be removed and a spanning structure will be installed. Traffic will be detoured by employing a staged construction process allowing traffic on half of the bridge during construction. The new bridge is designed to minimize impacts by implementing longer spans and increasing hydraulic capacity. The removal ofthe existing structure shall be performed by sawing andlor non-shattering methods such that debris will not fall into the water. All work will be performed in a dry environment. Sandbag cofferdams wdl be used if necessary to ensure a clean, dry work area, and to minimise impacts to aquatic habitats. Y am attaching the Categorical Exclusion document and a marked county map. The USGS map location is in the CE document. B-4349 on SR 1388 Page 2 July 26, 200'7 The potential impacts to federally endangered and threatened species were investigated and the results are found in the CE document. The conclusion was there would be "no effect" for the species listed for Henderson County. The potential impact to historic properties and archaeological resources was investigated. The State Historic Preservation Office recommended no archaeological work and determined that there were no structures over 50 years old, no structures less than 50 years old that met criteria for consideration and there are no National Register-listed properties. Impacts to Waters of the United States Hungry River is shown on the USGS topographic map as a perennial stream. This stream has a well-defined channel with a substrate of cobble, gravel and sand. The channel lacks vegetation. The stream has cuff cient flow to support aquatic life, including fish. For these reasons, we believe this stream 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 Broad River Basin. Specifically, NCDOT is requesting to replace Henderson County Bridge No. 53 with a cored slab structure over Hungry River. Listed below is a summary of the proposed impacts. Site No. Existing Condition Froposed Condition Net Impacts Station Site lA Western Existing End Temporary Coffer Dam and 400 ft2' Bent Footer (60ft2) Structure Removal Site 1B Interior Bent Footer Temporary Coffer Dam and 400 ft2 (50ft2) Removal of Interior Bent Footer and Replace Interior Bent Outside of Stream Site 2 Eastern Existing Interior Temporary Coffer Dam and 400 ft2 Bent Footer (50 ft2) Structure Removal and Replace Interior Bent Out of Stream Total net impact from new structure =(-1$0 ft2) Temporary Impact for Coffer Dams 1200 ft2 Since the existing footers will be removed and new footers constructed away from the water, there will be no mitigation required for this project. There will. only be temporary impacts of cofferdams for removal of old in-water structures. ,e B-4349 on SR 1388 Page 3 Juiy 26, 2007 The best management practices will be used to nrinimize and control sedimentation and erosion on this project. The construction foreman will review all erosion control measures daily to ensure sedimentation and erasion is being effectively controlled. If the planned devices are not functioning as intended, they will be immediately replaced with better devices. All commitments on the Project Green Sheets will be adhered to. 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, T 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.

Mitigation DWQ - Tn 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.

January 2007 B-3666 Categorical Exclusion Addendum Green Sheet Page 1 of 1 HENDERSON COUNTY BRIDGE NO. 53 ON SR 1 799 (DEEP GAP ROAD) DYER NDRTH BRANCH OF HUNGRY RIVER FEDERAL-AID PROJECT ND. BRZ-1 799(1 ) STATE PROJECT NO. 8.29521 O1 WBS ND. 3321 1.1.1 T.I.P. ND. 8-3666 INTRODUCTION : A Categorical Exclusion (CE) for the replacement of Bridge No. 53 was signed in June 2003 (see Figure 1 for project location). The CE identified Alternative A, which replaces the bridge on new alignment east (downstream) of the existing bridge, as the Preferred Alternative. Traffic would be maintained on the existing structure during construction. Alternative B, which replaces Bridge No. 53 on existing alignment, was eliminated because it involved a signalized, one-lane on-site detour and was less economical than Alternative A. Prior to construction of the Preferred Alternative, the original bridge washed out in June 2006 (see Figure 2). A temporary bridge is currently in use. Replacement of the bridge therefore became an urgent situation, necessitating the change to a replace in place option (Alternative B) as the Preferred Alternative. This Addendum describes the new Preferred Alternative, associated impacts and supporting information. I. PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE Alternative B (preferred) replaces Bridge No. 53 on the existing alignment. A proposed realignment of SR 1799 of approximately five feet will alleviate a sharp curve on the southern approach and allow stage construction of the new structure (see Figure 3B) and maintenance of traffic. Traffic will be maintained onsite with the current one-lane temporary structure. The proposed replacement structure consists of a 110-foot bridge with a clear roadway width of approximately 27 feet. The proposed bridge will consist of two ten-foot travel lanes and an approximately 3.5-foot shoulder on each side (see Figure 3A). The proposed approach roadway will consist of two ten-foot travel lanes and two-foot shoulders. The south approach is approximately 172 feet long and the north approach is approximately 225 feet long. The proposed grade will be approximately the same as the original roadway. The proposed design speed is 15 mph. 11. ESTIMATED COSTS The estimated costs of replacing Bridge No. 53, based on current prices, are shown in Table 1. The estimated cost of the project as shown in the Draft 2007-2013 (STIP) is $751,000, including $151,000 prior years cost and $650,000 for construction. B-3666 Categorical Exclusion Addendum Table 1.

SUMMARY OF ANTICIPATED IMPACTS This section provides a summary of anticipated impacts for the Preferred Alternative. Detailed descriptions of the existing conditions and field survey methods are included in the June 2003 Categorical Exclusion. A field survey was conducted on December 18, 2006. The area surveyed included an area bounded by the cut and fill slopes and stormwater devices, as depicted on final design plans. This area is referred to as the construction footprint. Because the bridge replacement will be at the existing location, the construction footprint is primarily within the existing disturbed roadway corridor. The proposed realignment of SR 1799 will result in an impact to a small area of thick immature trees that was previously an "old field" vegetative community. A. TERRESTRIAL VEGETATIVE COMMUNITIES Table 2 lists the anticipated impacts to terrestrial vegetative communities. The impacts axe less than those shown in the CE for two reasons: • The 2006 survey area was based on final design plans. • The alternative in the CE included a temporary detour that is no longer necessary. Table 2. Anticipated Impacts to Terrestrial Vegetative Communities Acidic Cove Forest 0.04 Montane Alluvial Forest 0 Urban/Disturbed Land 0.33 B-3666 Categorical Exclusion Addendum 2 ,+ B. WETLAND COMMUNITIE5 No jurisdictional wetlands were found within the project area. C. WATER RE50URCE5 Temporary construction impacts due to erosion and sedimentation will be minimised through implementation of a stringent erosion control schedule and the use of best management practices. Long-term construction impacts are expected to be negligible. In order to minimise impacts to water resources, "Guidelines for Construction of Highway Improvements Adjacent to or Crossing Trout Waters in North Carolina" (October 27, 1992) in addition to NCDOT Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the Protection of Surface Waters will be strictly enforced during the entire life of the project. There will be an in-water work moratorium from November 1 to April 15 to minimise impacts to trout spawning. D. FEDERALLY PROTECTED SPECIES US Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) records (April 27, 2006) were reviewed in November 2006 fox federally protected species occurring in Henderson County. There have been no changes to the list since the June 2003 document. A review of North Carolina Natural Heritage Program maps indicates that there are no federally protected species within one mile of the project area. Table 3 lists the federally Threatened and Endangered species known to occur in Henderson County. Table 3. Federally Protected Species for Henderson Coun - __._ __ .::Common Name Scientific.

The biological conclusions for the four plant species listed were reassessed. Results are presented in the following paragraphs. Small-whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) Federal Status: Threatened State Status: Endangered Biological Conclusion: No Effect The original area surveyed included a substantial amount of land not included in the final bridge design. A survey was conducted on December 18, 2006 to determine if suitable habitat is B-3666 Categorical Exclusion Addendum present within the construction footprint for the small-whorled pogonia. No suitable habitat was observed within this area. A small amount of wooded areas will be affected but these areas are outside of the stream floodplain and are thick with young hardwoods, hemlocks, and cedar. Therefore, suitable habitat is not present for the small- whorled pogonia and the project is expected to have NO EFFECT on the small-whorled pogonia. The original survey for the small-whorled pogonia was conducted in July 2001, and no individuals were observed. NCNHP has no records of small whorled pogonia individuals within aone-mile radius of the project site. Swamp pink (Helonras bullata) Federal Status: Threatened State Status: Threatened -Special Concern Biological Conclusion: No Effect Suitable habitat for swamp pink consisting of mountain swamps and bogs is not present within the construction footprint. NCNHP has no records of swamp pink individuals within aone- mile radius of the project site. Therefore, the proposed project will have NO EFFECT on this species. Mountain Sweet Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia rubra ssp. jonesil} Federal Status: Endangered State Status: Endangered -Special Concern Biological Conclusion: No Effect Suitable habitat for the mountain sweet pitcher plant consisting of mountain bogs and along streams on granite rock faces is not present within the construction footprint. The original survey found suitable habitat for the mountain sweet pitcher plant; however, a plant survey conducted in June 2001 found no individuals within the study area. NCNHP has no records of mountain sweet pitcher plant individuals within aone-mile radius of the project site. Therefore, the proposed project will have NO EFFECT on this species. White irisette (Sisyrir~chrum drehotomum) Federal Status: Endangered State Status: Endangered Biological Conclusion: No Effect Suitable habitat for the white irisette consisting of shallow, circumneutral soils is not present within the construction footprint. The soils within the construction footprint have been determined to be too acidic in nature to sustain the white irisette. NCNHP has no records of white irisette individuals within aone-mile radius of the project site. Therefore, the proposed project will have NO EFFECT on this species.

HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE In a concurrence form dated December 8, 2000, the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) determined that, within the area of potential effect (APE), there are no architectural resources either listed or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. A copy of the concurrence form is included in the Appendix to the CE. G. ARCHAEDLOGY The SHPO, in a memorandum dated February 5, 2001 stated there are "no recorded archaeological sites within the proposed project area." In a memorandum dated October 25, 2002, the SHPO stated "We recommend that no archaeological work be conducted for this project." Both memoranda are in the Appendix to the CE. H. RELOCATIONS No adverse impact on families or communities is anticipated. No relocatees are expected with implementation of the proposed alternative. I. PUBLIC FACILITIES/SOCIAL IMPACTS No adverse effect on public facilities or services is expected. The project is not expected to adversely affect social, economic, or religious opportunities in the area. J. SECTION 4(F) IMPACTS The proposed project will not require right-of--way acquisition or easement from any land protected under Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966. K.
