TnTn SecrzETARY Tlie North Caroli�ta Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to resurface tlie subject road. Belore resurfacing be�ins, NCDOT proposes to replace all drainage structures along die roadway. The project ��vill require tlie replaccment of eight (8) metal culverts iu unnamed tributaries of Peter We�ver Creek Tnd the French Broad River. All culvert replacements will be foot-for-foot replacements except for Site 2, wl�ich ��ill reqi»re a 20-Yoot e�tension. Whitmire Ro�d is a paved secondary road, which conveys local traffia Pwic(s l�ave been allocated for this project and NCDOT would like to perform these activities iu the 2014-IS fiscal year. I am eudosing � PCN application, Rapinos Jurisdictional Detei•iuinatiai Forin, SHPO lorm, permit drawings, photographs, a marked connty map, aud USGS quad map. The North Clrolina Nahn•al Heritage Database was cl�ecked for records of threatened aud end�ngered species. The datab�se list 46 species ��ith federal statiis for Trans��h�ania County tl�at aie kiio��n fi•om current records or �a�ere knowm to occur in the county historically. One species, the bog mrtle (Gl��lem��s nurhlenbergii), is listed as tlireatened due to similarity of appearauce witli the listed iiortliern bog tnrtle. Seven species, Appalachiaii elktoe (Alnsmrdontn rrrneneliann), swamp piiilc (Helonins b�dlnfn), sma11 whorled pogonia (I.soh�in nre�leoloi�les), spreading avens (Gerun radinttmr), Virginia spiraea (S�iroen i�irgiirinnn), rock guome licl�en (Gy��ri�odernrn /i�ie�n•e), and Carolina nortliern ilyiug squirrel (Glai�com��s snbrimrs colm•n/ars) are listed as federally t1u�eTtened or endangered. Virginia spiraea is fouud on the French Broad River approximately 030 mile ti•om the project area; however, culvert installation in imnamed h•ibutaries should not impact these popiilations. According to the U.S. Fish and Wilcllife Seivice, Virginia spiraea occurs along rocky, flood- scoured riverbauks in gorges or canyons. Gravel aud rock b�rs tliat provide habitat for the Viiginia spiiaea are l�cking at tlie pi•oject site. 1'ourteen�h Division Oftiee Tclephone: (82R) SR(-2141 253 \Vebster RoaA, Syh�a, North Carolina 2A779 F�.�: (R2R) SR6-4043 SR 1125 — Trausylvania County Page 2 ,iuly 11, 2014 The Appalachiau elktoe is found in well-oxygenated streams witl� moderate to fast flowing water ��vith stable, mixed substrates of silt, sand, gravel, and/or cobble. The Appalachian elktoe records ii� the area �re from i�elatively large sh�eams, the P'rench Bro�d River, Little River, and Mills River. There �re uo records of occurrence in tlie smaller triUutaries of these streams. No Appalachian elktoe were observed daring tlie field scoping process and records indicate the iiearest known occurrence is located in the Frencli Broad River, approaimately 5.25 miles downslrelm of die project site.

Habitat along Hic proposed project has bee�i aflected b}� private residences and agricultural activities. The streams to be affected �re unnamed triUutaries to Peter Weaver Creek and the French Broad River aud are small (1-4 fee[ iu widtl�). No tlu•eatened �nd endaugered species were observed duriiig a site visit conducted on May 12, 2014. Por these reasons and Qiose discussed above, ��ve recommeud a"no effecY' deteriuivation for threatened and endangered species. Tliere ��vill be uo effect to l�istoric or arcl�aeological resources (see attached form). This is a resurlaciug project and all work ��ill take place in previously disturbed NCDOT right of �v�y. NCDOT best management practices will Ue used to minimize and control sedimentTtion aud erosion on this project. Inipeiroioas dikes �nd flow diversians ��vill be utilized to maiutain a"dr}�" work area during ctilvert iustallations. The couslruction fore�uau will review all secGmentatiou control uieasures duiing installation to ensm�e sedimentation is controlled effectively. If tlie planned devices are not hmctiouing as intended, they will bc replaced immediately �vith better devices. Iwpacts to W�ters of the United States The u�mained tributaries at the cuh�ert sites are iiot sl�own on tl�e US Geological Sui-��ey topographic�l map. AII the streams have �vell defined channels with substrates of gravel, sand and silt. The stream chamiels range iu width from 1-4 feet. The uiu�amed tributaries at Sites 1 to 3 flow approaimately 0.2 miles to Peter Weaver Creek (DWR Cl�ss: C Tr). Peter Weaver Creek tl�ei� flows approxirnately 0.1 mile to the French Bro�d River (DWR Class: B Tr). Tl�e unnamed tributaries at Sites 4 to 8 flo��v to tlie Fiench Broad River.

Before resurFacing begins, NCDOT proposes to replace all drainage sUuctures along the roadway. The project will require the replacement of 8 metal culverts in unnamed tributaries of Peter Weaver Creek and the French Broad River. All culvert replacements will be foot-per-foot replacements; except for Site 2, which will require a 20-foot extension. Whilmire Road is a paved secondary road, which conveys local traffic. 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: Erosion control measures will be installed. Impervious dikes will be installed and lhe water will diverted in order to install the 8 culverts in the "dry". Following installation, the existing road will be resurtaced (paved). Trackhoes, graders, dump trucks, paving equipment, water purnps, diversion pipe, and various hand tools will be used to accomplish the work. 4. Jurisdictional Determinations 4a.
