Nationwide Permit 23 Application for the proposed bridge
replacement No. 34 on SR 1001 over Rocky Creek in Wilkes
County, Fed. Project No. BRZ-1001 (28), State Project No.
8.2761701, WBS Element 33830.1.1, TIP No. B-4675, in
Division 11.
Dear Sir:
Please find enclosed a copy of the permit drawings, 1/2 size plans and Categorical Exclusion for the
above referenced project. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to
replace Bridge No. 34 with a 93 feet long by 34 feet wide plate girder single span bridge that will span
the creek on a new alignment to the south. This project will result in 88 linear feet of permanent fill in
surface waters due to bank stabilization with no temporary impacts. There are no jurisdictional
wetlands within the project area. Traffic will be maintained on the existing bridge during a staged
construction that will utilize traffic control devices.

The water resource impacted by project B-4675 is Rocky Creek located in the North Carolina Division
of Water Quality (NCDWQ) Sub-basin 03-07-06 of the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin. NCDWQ
classifies Rocky Creek (DWQ Index # 12-108-11) as a "Class C" stream and is located in
Hydrological Cataloguing Unit (HUC) 03040102. There are no Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW),
High Quality Waters (HQW), WS-I, WS-II, or watershed Critical Area (CA), within 1 mile upstream
or downstream of the project study area. Rocky Creek does not appear on the NCDWQ 2006 303(d)
list of impaired waters nor are any impaired waters located within one mile of the project study area.
No special restrictions are required for in-water work other than those outlined in the NCDOT
guidelines, "Best Management Practices for Protection of Surface Waters". Rocky Creek is not

designated as a trout stream by North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commision (WRC). WRC
representative Marla Chambers was consulted on March 1, 2004 and she stated that no trout
moratorium was needed for this project.
Permanent Impacts: The existing structurally deficient bridge will be replaced with a 93 feet long by
34 feet wide plate girder bridge. Construction of the proposed project will result in total of 88 linear
feet of permanent fill in surface water from bank stabilization upstream, downstream and under the
bridge with riprap. There will be no loss of waters of the U.S., since riprap placement will be limited
to the steam banks.
Tem~orar~pacts: This project should result in no temporary impacts to jurisdictional waters.
Utilities: There are no impacts to jurisdictional resources due to utilities for this project.
Bridge Demolition
The existing bridge is a single span structure with an overall length of 36 feet, and a clear roadway
width of 16.8 feet. It was constructed in 1960. The bridge consists of a timber deck, an asphalt
surface, steel I-beams, with timber caps, posts and sills. Bridge No. 34 is structurally deficient and
according to federal guidelines is considered to be functionally obsolete. Best Management Practices
for Bridge Demolition and Removal will be implemented.
Federally Protected Species
As of May 10, 2007, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service shows one federally protected species
for Wilkes County (Table 1).
Table 1. Federally Protected Species for Wilkes County.
Common Name Scientific Name Status Habitat Biological Conclusion
Bog turtle Clemmys muhlenbergii T (S/A) No Habitat Not Subject
Avoidance and Minimization
NCDOT has minimized impacts to the fullest extent practicable. The project purpose necessitates
traversing Rocky Creek; therefore, totally avoiding surface water impacts is not practicable. Staged
construction will be utilized negating the need for an onsite temporary detour thereby reducing
temporary impacts. No bents will be placed in the stream thereby minimizing surface water impacts.
There will be no direct discharge of stormwater to surface water thereby minimizing impacts to water
quality.
Mitigation
Construction for this project will impose minimal permanent impacts and no loss of waters of the U.S.
Therefore, no mitigation is proposed for this project.

Regulatory Approvals
Section 404 Permit: This project is being processed by the Federal Highway Administration as a
"Categorical Exclusion" in accordance with 23 CFR § 771.115(b). The NCDOT requests that these
activities be authorized by a Nationwide Permit 23 (FR number 10, pages 2020-2095; January 15,
2002).
Section 401 Permit: We anticipate 401 General Certification numbers 3403 will apply to this project.
The NCDOT will adhere to all standard conditions. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0501(a) we
are providing two copies of this application to the North Carolina Department of Environmental and
Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, for their records.
We anticipate that comments from the NCWRC will be requested prior to authorization by the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). By copy of this letter and attachment, NCDOT hereby requests
NCWRC review. NCDOT requests that NCWRC forward their comments to the USAGE and
NCDOT within 30 days of receipt of this application.
Thank you for your assistance with this project. A copy of this permit application will be posted on the
NCDOT Website at http://207.4.62.65/PDEA/PermApps/. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please contact Jeff Hemphill at [phone].

INTRODUCTION: Bridge No. 34 is included in the latest approved North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Transportation Improvement Program and is eligible
for the Federal-Aid Bridge Replacement Program. The location is shown in Figure 1. No
substantial environmental impacts are anticipated. The project is classified as a Federal
"Categorical Exclusion".
I. PURPOSE AND NEED STATEMENT
NCDOT Bridge Maintenance Unit records indicate Bridge No. 34 has a sufficiency rating of
20.2 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The Bridge is considered structurally deficient
due to a deck condition of 4 out of 9, a superstructure condition of 4 out of 9, and a
substructure condition rated at 4 out of 9, according to Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) standards. The bridge is also considered functionally obsolete due to a deck
geometry rating of 2 out of 9, according to FHWA standards. Therefore the bridge is eligible
for FHWA's Bridge Replacement Program.
Bridge No. 34 has aforty-six year old timber subs ~ :.~cture with a typical life expectancy
between 40 to 50 years due to the natural deterioration rate of wood. Rehabilitation of a timber
structure is generally practical only when a few members are damaged or prematurely
deteriorated. However, past a certain degree of deterioration, timber structures become
impractical to maintain and upon eligibility are programmed for replacement. Bridge No. 34
is approaching the end of its useful life.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The project is located in a rural area of Wilkes County, near the Alexander County line
(see Figure 1). Development in the area is agricultural and residential in nature.
SR 1001 is classified as a rural local route in the Statewide Functional Classification System
and it is not a National Highway System Route. This route is not a designated NCDOT bicycle
route. However, the road is designated as such by the county. Therefore bicycle standards were
included in the design of the bridge.
In the vicinity of the bridge, SR 1001 has a 16-foot pavement width with 6-foot grass
shoulders (see Figure 3). The existing bridge is at the tangent point of a curve. The roadway is
situated approximately 13.0 feet above the creek bed.

due to terrain constraints. However, traffic will be maintained using the existing bridge during
construction. Staged construction will be used. Traffic control devices will be used to assist in
movement of vehicles during construction. Improvements to the approach roadways will be
required for a distance of approximately 250 feet on both approaches to the bridge. This
alternate will be designed using 3R guidelines with a design speed of less than 15 miles per
hour. A design exception for design speed is required for this alternative.
C. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Consideration
The "do-nothing" alternative will eventually necessitate closure of the bridge. This is not
acceptable due to the traffic service provided by SR 1001.
"Rehabilitation" of the old bridge is not practical due to its age and deteriorated condition.
This bridge consists of mostly timber construction and is nearing the end of its useful life.
Rehabilitation of a timber structure is generally practical only when a few members are
damaged or prematurely deteriorated.
This bridge was not considered a candidate for replacement in place and use of an offsite
detour with road closure. There are no practical offsite detours available in the area.
D. Preferred Alternative
Bridge No. 34 will be replaced on new alignment as by Alternative 1 in Figure 2.
NCDOT Division 11 concurs with the selection of Alternative 1 as the preferred alternative.
IV. ESTIMATED COSTS
The estimated costs, based on 2006 prices, for the preferred alternative is as follows:
Alternative 1
Preferred
Structure $ 348,000
Roadwa A roaches $ 208,000
Detour Structure and A roaches - 0 -
Structure Removal $ 12,000
Misc. & Mob. $ 122,000
En . & Contingencies $ 110,000
Total Construction Cost $ 800,000
Ri t-of--way Costs $ 29,000
Total Pro'ect Cost $ 829,000

The following issues do not apply for this project in Wilkes County:
• Essential Fish Habitat
• Stream buffer requirements
• 303 (d) stream
• Trout Moratorium
Permits
The Nationwide Permit No. 23 (Approved Categorical Exclusions) will be required for the
impacts to the jurisdictional stream in the project study area. Nationwide Permit No. 33
(Temporary Construction, Access, and Dewatering) may be needed for any temporary
construction access. A final permitting strategy cannot be developed until a design alternative
is selected. The USACE determines final permit requirements under the statutory provisions
of CWA Section 404. The issuance of a required Section 401 certification is a prerequisite to
the issuance of a Section 404 permit. Section 401 General Water Quality Certifications for
NWP No. 23 and No. 33 are No. 3361 and 3366, respectively. However, written concurrence
from the NCDWQ is not required provided all standard conditions of these Certifications are
met.
Federally-Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed
Endangered and Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7 and
Section 9 of the ESA. According to the January 29, 2003 USFWS listing, one species,
the bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergi), is listed for Wilkes County. The bog turtle is
listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance to northern populations of the
species. Species listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance are not biologically
endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation. Therefore, no
surveys or Biological Conclusions are required for this species. No habitat was observed
for the bog turtle within the project study area.
General Conclusions
No jurisdictional wetlands are located in the project study area. It is anticipated that the
proposed bridge replacement would not impact 1501inear feet of Rocky Creek, because the
stream crossing within the project study area is close to perpendicular. Therefore, no stream
mitigation is anticipated. No federally protected threatened or endangered species are listed
for Wilkes County.
VI. HUMAN ENVIRONMENT
Section 106 Compliance Guidelines
This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act of 1966, as amended, and implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified at Title 36 CFR Part
5

Air Act Amendments and the National Environmental Policy Act) and no additional reports
are required.
VII. GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The project is expected to have an overall positive impact. Replacement of an inadequate
bridge will result in safer traffic operations.
The bridge replacement will not have an adverse effect on the quality of the human or natural
environment with the use of the current North Carolina Department of Transportation
standards and specifications.
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.
An examination of records at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, Division of Environmental Management, Groundwater Section and the North
Carolina Department of Human Resources, Solid Waste Management Section revealed no
underground storage tanks or hazardous waste sites in the project area.
Wilkes County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program. There are no
practical alternatives to crossing the floodplain area. Any shift in alignment will result in an
impact area of about the same magnitude. The proposed project is not anticipated to increase
the level or extent of upstream flood potential.
VIII. COORDINATION & AGENCY COMMENTS
NCDOT has sought input from the following agencies as a part of the project development:
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NC Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service, N.C Wildlife Resource Commission, N.C. Division of Parks & Recreation, North
Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, Wilkes County Planning Department, Wilkes
County Emergency Services, and the Wilkes County School Transportation Director.
The N.C. Wildlife Resource Commission and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in standardized
letters provided a request that they prefer any replacement structure to be a spanning structure.
Response: The replacement structure will be a spanning structure (bridge).
The Wilkes County Planning Department, the Wilkes County Emergency Services, the
Wilkes County School Transportation Director, the N.C. Division of Water Quality, and
the Army Corps of Engineers had no special concerns for this project.
