Nantahala National Forest
North Carolina
Project: NC ERFO FSR 2013-1(1) Date: Mav 15, 2014
Project description, including location:
The Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division, of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA),
in cooperation with the USDA Porest Service, is preparing plans to repair five disaster sites on
Tatham Gap Road (Route 423) within the Nantahala National Forest. Heavy rains in early 2013
saturated the area, causing slope failure. The five sites are located in Cherokee and Graham
County, North Carolina. The sites are identified by their location along Route 423: Site 423-
1.89, Site 423-3.39, Site 423-3.48, Site 423-6.422, and Site 423-7.285. The proposed site repairs
would include the removal of slide material, stabilization of the failed slope, drainage
improvement and roadway reconstruction.
Mitigation measures:
. Tree clearing will be necessary in arder to complete the repairs. In order to auoid adverse
impacts to the Indiana bat and the northern long-eared bat, all tree removal will be
completed between October 15 and April 15.
. Two intersections with the Trail of Tears and two additional known sensitive areas have
been identified and will be auoided during the construction of the project.
• An archeological monitor will be onsite during all ground disturbing activities.
Describe the category used to exclude the action from further NEPA:
23 CFR 771.117(d)(1): Modernization of a highway by resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation,
reconstruction, adding shoulders, or adding auxiliary lanes (e.g., parking, weauing, turning,
climbing).
Describe any public or agency involvement effort conducted:
By letter dated March 14, 2014 to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO),
the FHWA determined that the proposed project would have no adverse efPect on historic
resources. The Cherokee Trail of Tears and Tatham Gap Road are in close proximity and
intersect along TatHam Gap Road. Through coordination with the Forest Service, two
intersections with the Trail of Tears and two additional known sensitive areas have been
identifieci and wiii be avoided during tne construction oi the project. !�n archeoiogicai monitor
will also be onsite during all ground disturbing activities. The SHPO responded in a letter dated
April 11, 2014, stating, "The proposed slide repairs are in close proximity to the Cherokee Trail
of Tears. It is our understanding that the sensitive areas associated with the Trail of Tears will be
avoided during construction and that ground distarbing activities will be monitored by a
professional archaeologist. Therefore, we concur that with these conditions there will be no
adverse effects to any historic properties or sites as a result of the proposed undertaking."
A letter dated March 14, 2014 was sent to the National Park Service National Trails requesting
concurrence that there would be no adverse effect on cultural resources. A response was not
received.
Letters dated M2rch 14, 2014 were also sent to the Cherokee Nation, �astern Band of Cherokee
Indians, United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, Muscogee Creek Nation, Kialegee Tribal
Town providing information regarding the project and requesting concurrence that the project
would have no adverse effect on cultural resources. On April 11, 2014, the Muscogee (Creek)
Nation responded that, "At this time we have no concerns about the repair of the Tatham Gap
road within the Nantahala National Forest in Cherokee County, Narth Carolina. We concur the
project should have no adverse effect on cultural resources." The United Keetoowah Band of
Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma stated on March 27, 2014 that they haue no comments or
objections regarding the project. Responses have not been received from the Cherokee Nation,
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and Kialegee Tribal Town. They were contacted via phone
and email on May 15, 2014 regarding their concurrence with the determination. Per 36 CTR Part
800.5(c)(1), failure of the SHPO/TIIPO to respond within 30 days from the receipt of the finding
sha11 be considered agreement of the SI IPO/THPO with the f nding. The letters were sent via
certifed mail, and receipts indicate that all three letters were received on March 17, 2014.
However, if responses are received that identify concerns regarding the project, the concerns will
be resolved as appropriate.
The P'HWA requested review of the project by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program by
letter dated Apri13, 2014. In a letter dated Apri19, 2014, the North Carolina Nataral Heritage
Program stated that they had no records of any rare species or signifcant natural communities
within one mile of the project loeations.
By letter dated Apri121, 2014 to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), theFHWA
determined that the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect the Indiana
bat (Myotis sodalis). FHWA also requested an informal conference regarding the potential for
adverse effects to the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis). All tree removal will be
completed between October 15 and April 15 in order to avoid adverse impacts to the Indiana bat
and the northern long-eared bat. In a letter dated May 14, 2014, the Service stated, "Based on
the information provided in your letter and a review of our records, we concur with your
as§essment that the project, as proposed, is not likely to adversely affect the Indiana bat, nor is it
likely to jeopardize (as described inSection 7(a)(4) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973) the
northern long-eared bat."
23 CFR 771.117 Categorical exclusions (CEs) are actions which meet the deiinition contained
in 40 CFR 1508.4, and, based on past experience with similar actions, do not involve significant
environmental impacts.

Deaz Mr. Ratzlaff:
The �astern Rederal Lands Highway Division, of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA),
in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service, is preparing plans to repair five disaster sites on
Tatham Gap Road (Roirte 423) within the Nantahala National Forest. Heavy rains in early 2013
saturated the area, causing slope failure. The tive sites are located in two coLmties. Sites 423-
1.89, 423-339, and 423-3.48 are located in Cherokee County, North Carolina. Sites 423-6.422
and 423-7.285 aze located in Graham County, North Carolina.
Thank you for providirig us with an afFicial spacies list for the project. In your letter dated April
18, 2014, you indicated that the endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodadis) is the only federally
listeci species likely to occur in the project area; however, the northern long-eared bat (Myotis
septentrionalis), a species proposed for listing as an endangered species on October 2, 2013, is
also known to oceur in the project area.
The proposed site repairs would include the removal of slide material, stabilization of the failed
slope, drainaga improvement and roadway reconstruction. Tree cleazing would be necessary in
order to complete the repairs. In order to avoid adverse impacts to the Indiana bat and the
northern long-eared bat, all tree removal would be completed between October 15 and April 15.
FHWA has determined that the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect
the Indiana bat. FHWA would like to request an informal conference regardin� the potential for
adverse efFects to the northern long-eared bat. The tree clearing restrictions for the project, as
listed above, would also serve to awid adverse impacts to the northern long-eared bat. The
proposed project would not adversely affect the northern long-eared bat.
Enclosed you will find a location map. Please provide us with your respnnse within 30 days of
receipt of this letter. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Lisa Landers, Environmental

Dear Mr. Rose:
Subject: Repair of Landslide Damage (5 Sites) on Tatham Gap Road, Cherokee and Graham
Counties, North Carolina
In your letter of April 21, 2014 (received Apri122, 2014), you provided a response to our
previous letter (April 18, 2014) and requested our comnients about proposed protective measures
for the federally endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) and proposed endangered northern
long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) in the subject project aeea. The following comments are
provided in accordance with the provisions of section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
Your letter states "The proposed site repairs would include the removal of slide material,
stabilization of the failed slope, drainage improvement and roadway reconstruction. Tree
clearing would be necessary in order to complete the repairs. In order to avoid adverse impacts
to the Indiana bat and the northern long-eared bat, all tree removal would be completed between
October 15 and April 15." Because of the restricted tree re�noval period, the I'ederal Highway
Administration determined that the proposed project may affect, but is not likely to adversely
afFect Yhe Indiana bat. Further, your letter also states that the tree clearing restrictions
implemented to protect the Indiana bat would also serve to "avoid" adverse impacts to the
northern long-eared bat and thus, the proposed project would not adverSely affect the northern
long-eared bat.
Based on the information provided in your letter and a review of our records, we concur with
your assessment ihat the projecC, as proposed, is not likely tn adversely affect the Indiana bat nor
is it likely to jeopardize (as described in Section 7(a)(4) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973)
the northern long-eared bat. Therefore, the requirements under section 7(c) of the Endangered
Species Act are fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of the �ndangered Species Act
must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may
affect listed species or critical habitat in a mannar not previously considered, (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is
listed or critical habitat is detennined that may be affected by the identifed actions.
Your letter also aslced that our agencies enter an Informal Conference as described in Section
7(a)(4) of the Endangered Species Act so that once the northern long-eared bat is placed on the
endangered species list, all of the necessary protective measures are in place to minimiza the
ePfects of the proposed project on the species and to minimize the impacts of the listing on the
project. Based on the information in the Conference Guidance for the northern long-eared bat,
mature forest is considered to Ue their most impoMant foraging and roosting habitat. IIowever, the
availability of suitable habitat is geverally not considered a limiting factor, partioularly in the project
area. The Conference Guidance also states ihat buffers should be in place of 0.5 miles from a lrnown
liibernaculum, 3 miles fro�n a mist net capture site, and greatsr tlian 1.5 miles froin a laiowu
maternity roost site. All five of the project sites curreutly meet these criteria. With the FHwA's
additional commitment to do no tree felling betwean April l5 and October 15 (which will minirnize
the possibility of direct "talce"), we believe that once the northern long-eared bat has been placed on
the endangered species list, that the proposed five project are not likely to adversely affect the
species. This letCer serves as our couference report and unless new information reveals impacts of
the identified actions that inay affect the species in a manner not previously considered or the
proposed actions are subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review,
there will be no need for the FHwA to initiate informal or formal consultation for the northern
long-eared bat once the species is listed.
Thank you for allowing us to comment on this project. Please contact Mr. Allen Ratzlaff of our
staff at 828/258-3939, Ext. 229, if you have any questions. In any future correspondence
concerning this project, please reference our Log Number 4-2-14-175.

Section 106 Consultation
Dear Mr. Mahr:
The Eastern Federal Lands Highway Division, ofthe Federal Highway Admuustration (FHWA),
in cooperation with the Forest Service, is preparing plans W repair five disaster sites on Tatham
Gap Road (Route 423) within the Nantahala Nalional Foresk Heavy rains in early 2013
saturated the area causing slope failure. The work includes removal of the slide material and
stabilization of failed: slope, roadway reconsuuction, and drainage ixnprovement in Graham and
Cherokee Counties, North Carolina.
The Cherokee Trail of Tears and Tatham Gap Road are in very close proximity to one another,
and the Trail of Tears crosses the Tatham Gap Road at a few locations. Through coordination
with the Forest Service, we have ideutified two intersections of Cherokee Trail of Teazs and
Tatham Gag Road and two known sensitive areas to be avoided. The enclosed location map
identif'ies the area of potential effect (APE) which includes the disaster site repair locations and
proposed/potential staging areas. The second map identifies the azeas of concern that would not
be disturbed during construction. The locations of the Cherokee Trail of Teazs intersections and
the two lcnown sensitive areas are not located at the disaster sites; therefore they will not be
impacted by this project. The project plans and specifications would indicate that these locations
must not be disturbed during construction. Also, an archaeological monitor would be onsite
during a11 ground disturbing activities.
The FHWA has determined that there would be no adverse effects to cultural resources as a
result of the pr�posed action. The FHWA respectfully requests your review of the proposed
project and concurrence with our determination. Enclosed you will find uhotos of the disaster
sites and the two location maps. The FHWA respectfuliy requests the favor of your response
within 30 days of receipt of this letter.
