EASLEY DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS LYNDO T[PPETT GOVERNOR SECRETARY September 24, 2007 Mr. Steve Lund p 716 3 5 US Army Corp of Engineers Asheville Regulatory Field Office 151 Patton Avenue, Room 208 Asheville, N. C. 28801-5006 SUBJECT: Secondary Road Paving/Pipe replacement, SR 1449 (Davis Road), Gaston County Dear Mr. Lund: The North Cazolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace a pipe in conjunction with a secondary road paving project on SR 1449 (Davis Road) in Gaston County. The existing 32-foot, 42" CMP will be replaced with a 50-foot, 48" CMP. The new pipe will be placed on a skew to better align the upstream and downstream sections, and will be buried one foot below the existing streambed elevation based upon the enclosed thalweg profile. A small, low-quality, wetland area (0.07 acres) located on the north side of the road will be filled due to the minor road widening. There will be temporary impacts (0.29 acres) to the larger wetland area on the south side of the road due to the necessary installation of temporary sediment basins during project construction. Upon project completion, the basins will be removed and the area graded back to the existing contours. Special sediment control fencing will be installed along the remaining wetland area during road construction. Temporary cofferdams and bypass pumping will be utilized to manage the stream during pipe installation. Upon project completion, the channel disturbed by the staging area and temporary cofferdams will be restored to pre-project conditions and the surrounding area seeded and stabilized. The total scope of the work will result in 20 feet of permanent impacts to unnamed tributary to Long Creek, which is classified as Class C waters by the Division of Water Quality. The project is not located within % mile of any critical watershed area nor is SR 1449 a rural or urban arterial; therefore, hazardous spill basins are not required. Enclosed is the hazardous spill basin checklist. Based upon correspondence with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), dated 4/26/01, the proposed project area has been reviewed and SHPO has determined that no historic properties will be affected. This office has conducted a GIS and field survey for the project threatened/endangered species. The federally listed species for Gaston County (USFWS listed dated May ]0, 2007) include Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), and Bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii). Natural Heritage Program records document the nearest Bald eagle location approximately 18 miles southeast of the proposed project area, on Lake Wylie at the North Carolina/South Carolina line. Bald eagles typically nest in tall, living trees neaz open water. The proposed project is located approximately 15 miles west of the upper portion of Lake Wylie. There does no appear to be any suitable SR 1449, Davis Road Page 2 September 24, 2007 habitat in the surrounding area and no bald eagles were observed during the site visit; therefore, no impact on the species is anticipated. Natural Heritage Program records document the nearest Schweinitz's sunflower location approximately 10 miles east of the proposed project area. The sunflower is usually found in upland open areas protected from shade or excessive competition. There is potential habitat within the proposed project area; however, no species were observed during the survey site visit. No impact on this species is anticipated. Natural Heritage Program records document the nearest bog turtle location approximately 3.5 miles southwest of the proposed project area. Bog turtles are typically found in bogs, marshes, and wet pastures. There is no suitable habitat located within the project area. T/SA species are not subject to Section 7 consultation; however, no impact on this species is anticipated. NCDOT is recommending a finding of "no effect" for T&E species and historical structures. I have enclosed apre-construction notification for a NW#14, sketches of planned activities, and location maps relative to the project. Project information for the 401 Automated Payment Procedure is as follows: • Work order number: 150456-55120005-12.036021-3855 • TIP #: NA • Project Category: $200.00 Fee If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at (704) 480-9044.

Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The road is being_paved on the existing roadway footprint with minor increases in width to provide adequate road shoulders. The increase in pipe length is due to the proposed skew to better align the upstream and downstream sections. No riprap will be utilized at this site. VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In 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 Page 5 of 8 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.

Non-regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):; ^ Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional. Explain: , ~ Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below. ' For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TN W and that typically flows year-round or has continuous (low at least "seasonally" (e.g., typically 3 months). ' Supporting documentation is presented in Section 111. F. SECTION 111: CWA ANALYSIS A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete Section III.A.1 and Section 111.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2 and Section HI.D.1.; otherwise, see Section 111.6 below. 1. TNW Identify TNW: Summarize rationale supporting determination: 2. Wetland adjacent to TNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent": B. CHARACTERISTICS OFTRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY): This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met. The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not s TNW, but has year-round (perennial) flow, skip to Section IIl.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section III.D.4. A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law. If the waterbody° is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.I for the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.C below. 1.

Identify specific pollutants, if known: 6A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where the OH WM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OH W M that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

For each wetland, specify the following: Directly abuts? (Y/N) Size (in acres) UirectlXabuts? (YM) Size (in acres) Y 0.07 Y 0.29 Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed: C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW. Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus. Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example: • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to TN Ws, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TN W? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or biological integrity of the TNW? Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented below: I. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section If[.D: 2.

This program is developed pursuant to the requirements contained in the Rules and Regulations for Erosion and Sedimentation Control which were adopted by the North Carolina Sedimentation Control Commission on April 10, 1974. PROJECT DESCRIPTION SR 1449 (Davis Rd) from its intersection with SR 1446 to 8R 1448. It will be constructed to the attached typical section. No problem areas are anticipated. The work will be completed during the 07/08 construction season. CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE 1. Grading to be started by state forces. Install all necessary silt fences, sediment basins, and check dams and begin clearing construction area. 2. Rough grade the construction area and begin installing any storm drainage and/or cross lines. Install inlet and outlet protection as storm drainage is being installed. 3. As an area is brought to finish grade and the black base is placed for the road, and the shoulder finished, then seed, mulch and tack should be provided for denuded areas. 4. Leave all erosion control devices in place until vegetation has been established sufficiently to withstand erosion ~O NOT remove any erosion control devices until directed by the County Engineer. 1V~AINTENANCE PLAN 1. All erosion and sediment control practices will be checked for stability and operation following every runoff producing rainfall but in no case less than once every week. Any repairs will be made immediately to maintain all practices as designed. 2. Sediment will be removed from behind the sediment fence when it becomes about 0.5 feet deep at the fence. The sediment fence will be repaired as necessary to maintain a barrier. 3. All seeded areas will be fertilized, reseeded as necessary and mulched according to the instruction in the seeded specifications to maintain a vigorous, dense vegetative cover. 4. Outlet protection will be installed when outlets are installed. Filter fabric will be placed under the entire stone section and will be repaired and replaced if damaged during any please of construction. 5. Sediment will be removed from the basin when it reaches 1.0 foot below the emergency spillway. The filter stone is to be cleaned or replaced when basin no longer drains properly. GROUND COYER FOR SLOPES. FILLS AND OTHER GRADED AREAS The angles for graded slopes and fills shall be no greater than the angle which can be retained by vegetative cover or other adequate erosion control devices or structures. Seeding should be done in accordance with the specifications for that season of the year. Additional erosion control measlues may be required depending on the actual field conditions. ~~ i / Gaston County SR 1449, Davis Rd.

W ~ r Silt Basin Type-B (SB-B) :1630.02 IS a defined pit or basin which collects sediment flowing through a drainageway (often built in conjunction with temporary rock silt checks in order to slow water flow). USE in a drainage ditch with temporary rock silt checks. Maintain until vegetation becomes established. CONSTRUCT basin width variable to the size of the drainageway, so that the basin's length equals twice its width, and its depth is a minimum of 2 feet. Storage capacity is 3600 cubic ft. per acre (capacity =length * width * height). Clean the basin regularly. NOTE As per special revisions, all silt basins must have Coir Fiber Baffles installed during construction. See attachment for details.

The post shall be equipped with an anchor plate having a minimum area of 14.0 square inches, and shall be of the self-fastener angle steel type to have a means of retaining wire and Coir fiber mat in the desired position without displacement. (D) Wire Provide 8-gauge wire strand of variable lengths. Construction Methods Place the coir fiber baffles immediately upon excavation of basins. Install three (3) baffles in basins with a spacing of one fourth (1/4) the basin length and according to the detail sheets. Two (2) coir fiber baffles shall be installed in basins less than 20 ft. in length with a spacing of one third (1/3) the basin length. Steel posts shall be placed at a depth of 2 ft. below the basin surface, with a maximum spacing of 4 ft. Attach an 8-gauge wire strand to the steel posts at a height of 3 ft. with plastic ties or wire fasteners. Install a steel post into side of the basin at a variable depth and a height of 3 ft. from the bottom of the basin to anchor coir fiber mat. Secure anchor post to the upright steel post in basin with wire fasteners. The coir fiber mat shall be draped over the wire strand to a minimum of 3 ft. of material on each side of the strand. Secure the coir fiber mat to the wire strand with plastic ties or wire fasteners. Place staples across the matting at ends and junctions approximately 1 ft. apart at the bottom and side slopes of basin. Overlap matting at least 6" where 2 or more widths of matting are installed side by side. Refer to details in the plan sheets. The Engineer may require adjustments in the stapling requirements to fit individual site conditions. Measurement and Payment Coir Fiber Ba~,~Jles will be measured and paid for by the actual number of linear feet of coir fiber baffles which are installed and accepted. Such price and payment will be full compensation for all work covered by this section, including, but not limited to, furnishing all materials, labor, equipment and incidentals necessary to install the coir fiber baffles. Payment will be made under: Pay Item Pay Unit Coir Fiber Baffle Linear Foot TEMPORARY SILT FENCE: rte. ~~ A temporary silt fence is commonly used at the toe of a fill section to prevent off- site sedimentation. It is made of permeable filter fabric buried at the bottom, stretched and supported by steel posts. The silt fence reduces the water flow while retaining the sediment. They may also be used to divert water flow to protected outlets. Silt fences need to be checked after each significant rainfall to ensure there effectiveness. They must be maintained on a regular basis. Silt fences shall no be installed across streams, ditches, or waterways. AREAS OF USE: • At toe of fill sections where sediment runoff can be stored and contained inside the project limits.
