MCCRORY Goveanox December 8, 2014 Mr. Steve Kichefski Asheville Regulatory Field Office US Army Corp of Engineers 151 Patton Avenue Asheville, NC 28801-5006 SUBJECT: Pipe Replacement on SR 1510 (Beulah Road), Iredell County Dear Mr. Kichefski: ANTHONYJ.TATA SECRETARY The North Carolina Deparhnent of Transportation requests authorizafion to replace a deteriorating perched pipe on SR 1510 (Beulah Road) in Iredell County. The North Carolina Department of Transportafion requests authorization to replace a deteriorating pipe on SR 1510 (Beulah Road) in Iredell County. NCDOT proposes to replace the existing perched 38-foot x 66" with a 40-foot x 72" CMP with 5 feeT of associated riprap at The inlet and outlet for structure stabilization. To provide some aquatic passage and to prevent stream destabilizaTion, the new pipe will be placed at streambed elevation. (at the downstream end, the elevation is based upon Yhe natural streambed elevation past an existing shallow scourhole). The new pipe slope will be at a 73% slope; therefore, it is approximately 10 feet of riprap will be embedded into the existing shallow scourhole. Due to the site conditions, NCDOT request a waiver from the Regional Condifions 2(b)(e) permit depth specificarion for the construction of this project. A temporary cofferdam pumping system will be used to divert the stream around the construction site as needed. All areas affected by temporary cofferdam system will be restored to pre- project conditions. The scope of the work involves UT to Goble Creek, which is classified as Class WS- 1V Watexs by the Division of Water Resources. The project is not located within 'h mile of any critical watershed area nor is SR 1510 a rural or urban arterial; therefore, hazardous spill basins are not required. Enclosed is the hazardous spill basin checklist. This office has conducted a GIS and field survey for the project for historical sites and threatened/endangered species sites. No sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places are located in the vicinity of the project nor did there appear to be any eligible structures. This office has conducted a GIS and field survey for the project threatened/endangered species. The federally listed species for Iredell County (USFWS listed dated November OA, 2014) include dwarf-flowered heartleaf (Hexastydis naniflora) and the bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii}(T/SA- Threatened due to simiiarity of appearance). National Heritage Program records document the nearest heartleaf location 6.2 miles southwest of the proposed project area. The heartleaf is usually found on dry to moist ravine slopes (usually north facing and of the oak-hickory-pine forest type) and in boggy areas near springheads. There is no suitable habitat in the proposed project area and no heartleaf species SR 1510, Beulah Road Page 2 December 8, 2014 were observed within the project fooYprint. No impact on this species is anticipated. Natural Heritage Program records document the nearest bog turtle location 7.5 miles southeast of the proposed project area. Bog hu-tles are typically found in bogs, marshes, and wet pastures. T/SA species are not subject to Secrion 7 consultation; however, there is no suitable habitaT located within the project area and no impact on this species is anticipated. I have enclosed a pre-construcrion notification for a NW#3, sketches of p]anned activities and location maps relative to the project. Project information far the 401 Automated Payxnent Procedure is as follows: • Work arder number: 150465-55120005-12B.204911-3300 • TIP#: NA • Project Category: $240.00 Fee If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at (704) 480-904�4.
