This project was previously authorized under a Nationwide Permit (NWP) 3 (SAW-2021-01702). The project has been Let by Division 10 under the existing NWP authorization and utility relocations have commenced. The permit is being resubmitted in the event that all authorized impacts cannot be completed prior to the NWP 3 expiration in March 2023. There will be 93 linear feet of permanent stream impact needed for stream bank stabilization along Long Creek (See Attachment A). Impervious dikes will be installed on the eastern and western banks of Long Creek to prevent sediment from entering the stream during the removal of the existing bridge and will be dewatered as needed; these dikes will result in an additional 10 lf of temporary impacts outside of the permanent impacts. Impervious dikes will additionally be constructed within Long Creek on the northern side of SR 1134 (Millingport Road) in order to install a water line, this will cause 20 lf of temporary impacts. A temporary pipe will be placed from the northern impervious dike to the southern impervious dike to allow flow to continue through the channel while the water line is installed. The approximate 120-foot wide bridge will consist of two lanes including two 10-foot travel lanes and 4- foot paved shoulders on either side of the bridge. The proposed structure would be lengthened from approximately 91 feet to approximately 120 feet. There will be no wetland impacts. A delineation of Waters of the U.S. was conducted on November 1, 2019 by STV Environmental Scientist Brandon Philips, CHMM (See Attachment B). As part of the environmental review, a Minimum Criteria Determination Checklist was completed for the project (See Attachment C). Section 106 Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires Federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. NCDOT Cultural Resource staff reviewed the project for Historic Architectural and Archeological Resources. A Historic Architecture and Landscapes No Survey Required Form was provided by a NCDOT Architectural Historian on January 23, 2019. A No Archaeological Survey Required Form was provided by the NCDOT Archaeologist on February 14, 2019 (See Attachment D). Protected Species The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) website lists Schweinitz’s sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) as endangered and tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) as proposed endangered within the study area. There is habitat in the study area for Schweinitz’s sunflower. No Schweinitz’s sunflowers were found during field surveys of the study area conducted on November 1, 2019, and August 30, 2022. A search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database, accessed October 3, 2022, found no occurrences of Schweinitz’s sunflower within the study area or within 1.0 mile of the study area. A biological conclusion of “No Effect” was reached for Schweinitz’s sunflower (See Attachment E). Review of the NCNHP records obtained on October 3, 2022, revealed no known occurrences of tricolored bat within the study area or within 1.0 mile of the study area. Currently there is not a protocol for the tricolored bat as it is proposed for listing and is not yet afforded protection under the Endangered Species Act. The tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) was proposed for listing as endangered by the USFWS in September 2022. If required, the tricolored bat will be revisited under new guidance set forth by the USFWS. NCDOT is committed to completing a bat assessment of appropriately sized structures within 30 days of removal. Due to the anticipated future listing the project has a biological conclusion of ‘Unresolved’ for tricolored bat. Bald eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. A desktop-GIS assessment of the study area, as well as the area within a 1.13-mile radius (1.0 mile plus 660 feet) of the project limits was performed. No water bodies large enough or sufficiently open to be considered potential feeding sources were identified. Since there was no foraging habitat within the review area, a survey of the study area and the area within 660 feet of the project limits was not conducted. Additionally, a review of the NCNHP database on October 3, 2022, revealed no known occurrences of this species within 1.0 mile of the study area. Due to no nests or eagles being identified during the survey, no known occurrences within 1.0 mile, and minimal impact anticipated for this project, it has been determined that this project will not affect this species.

The existing 90'8', 3 span bridge over Long Creek on SR 1134 (Millingport Road) is being replaced with a 2 span bridge with a span arrangement of 1@70' (24" cored slab), 1@50' (21" cored slab). The bridge will have 1.5:1 sloping abutments. The bridge will be super elevated to the left at 4% with 10' travel lanes and 3'11" to the left and right shoulders, 27'10" clear width and 30' OTO width. The existing bridge structure will be removed. Overall drainage patterns will be maintained. There are proposed ditches that flow towards the stream on both the begin and end sides on the downstream portion of the bridge and on the end side of the upstream portion of the bridge. On the begin side of the bridge, a traffic bearing grated drop inlet with double frame and grates (2GI) is placed on the left side of the roadway in the shoulder berm gutter to pick up runoff from the bridge. Class-II riprap abutment protection on both banks of the stream is also proposed to prevent future erosion and stream migration. Deck drains are not required. Impervious dikes will be used around existing abutments to prevent the sediment from entering the stream during the removal of the existing bridge and will be dewatered as needed. A water line will be constructed that will require the use of impervious dikes and a temporary 48" pipe will be used to divert the stream.

NCDOT Division 10 Bridge Replacement Program Bridge No. 035 on SR 1134 over Long Creek – PCN for RGP 50 Attachment C Minimum Criteria Determination Checklist 02/10/21 1 NCDOT MINIMUM CRITERIA DETERMINATION CHECKLIST WBS No.: 17BP.10.PE.147 (formerly 17.BP.10.R.147) Project Location: Bridge No. 35 carrying SR 1134 (Millingport Road) over Long Creek in Stanly County. Project Description: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), Division 10, plans to replace Bridge No. 35 carrying SR 1134 (Millingport Road) over Long Creek in Stanly County, North Carolina. Built in 1970, Bridge No. 830035 is an approximately 30-foot wide structure with two approximately 11-foot travel lanes and approximately 4-foot paved shoulders. The bridge is approximately 91 feet in length. The existing bridge is a channel beam structure with no sidewalk or bicycle facilities. Existing right-of-way width is approximately 60 feet along SR 1134 (Millingport Road). SR 1134 (Millingport Road) is classified as a Major Collector with a 45-mile per hour design speed. The proposed project is state funded and proposes replacing the existing bridge in-place with a three-span cored slab bridge approximately 120 feet long. The proposed bridge would be a 30-foot wide structure with two 10-foot travel lanes and 4-foot shoulders. The proposed grade across the profile of the new bridge structure is approximately 5 feet higher than the existing bridge profile in order to increase the design speed. The proposed approach roadway includes two 10-foot wide travel lanes with approximately 2-foot paved shoulders. The proposed approach roadway extends approximately 700 feet from the western end of the new bridge and approximately 330 feet from the eastern end of the new bridge. The project also requires a tie in at the intersection of SR 1134 (Millingport Road) and Miller Road located approximately 50 feet west of the proposed bridge structure. The tie-in to Miller Road would extend 120 feet north of the intersection and would include two 10-foot travel lanes with 3-foot shoulders. The total length of the project is approximately 1,160 feet (0.2 miles). Additional improvements include tie-ins to two existing driveways, one located approximately 25 feet east of the proposed bridge and one located approximately 150 feet east of the proposed bridge; further coordination may be required with property owners to ensure property access during the construction phase. The proposed right of way varies from approximately 85 feet to 110 feet and would require approximately 0.15 acres of proposed right-of-way acquisition and 0.90 acres of proposed temporary construction and permanent drainage easements. Residential and business relocations are not anticipated. The project is scheduled for right-of-way in April 2021 and has a LET date of May 5, 2021. An eight-mile off-site detour would be required for the full duration of construction. The detour route would take vehicles on SR 1134 (Millingport Road), SR 1449 (Sunnybrook Road), SR 1434 (Rogers Road), SR 1451 (Paul’s Crossing Road), and SR 1447 (Frick Road). DocuSign Envelope ID: 34EFF0BC-B250-4488-8B7C-CF376FA8FBC1 02/10/21 2 Purpose and Need: NCDOT Bridge Management Unit records indicate Bridge No. 35 has a sufficiency rating of 33.52 out of a possible 100. The bridge’s status is identified as Structurally Deficient in the Structure Safety Report published by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) from an inspection conducted on 05/02/2017. The purpose of the project is to replace the structurally deficient bridge. Anticipated Permit or Consultation Requirements: It is anticipated that a Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 3 Maintenance from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will be needed for the discharge of fill material into waters of the U.S. associated with the project. Due to a Section 404 NWP No. 3 being needed, a corresponding Section 401 Water Quality General Certification No. 4132 from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) would also be required. Pre-Construction Notification to the USACE and NCDWR will be completed, as needed, based on permanent and temporary impacts to streams resulting from final design. If mitigation is required then it is anticipated that the N.C. Division of Mitigation Services’ (DMS) in-lieu fee program will be used. Cultural Resources: NCDOT Cultural Resource staff reviewed the project for Historic Architectural and Archeological Resources. A No Survey Required Form for Historic Architecture and Landscapes was provided through ETRACS by a NCDOT Architectural Historian on January 23, 2019. Additionally, a No Archaeological Survey Required Form was provided by a NCDOT Archaeologist on February 14, 2019. Threatened and Endangered Species: STV Engineers, Inc. (STV) conducted field reviews of an approximate 3.5-acre study area on November 1, 2019. Prior to the field reviews, STV reviewed the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) online databases for information related to the occurrence of federal and state protected (threatened or endangered) species in Stanly County. The USFWS Raleigh Field Office online protected species database, updated June 27, 2018, lists three federally protected species as occurring or having the potential to occur in Stanly County including the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) which is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. As of June 12, 2019, the NCNHP lists no occurrences of federally protected species within one mile of the study area. Review of the NCNHP element occurrence records on June 12, 2019 revealed no documented occurrences or populations of Schweinitz’s sunflower in the study area or within one mile of the study area. STV Environmental Scientists conducted field surveys for the presence of Schweinitz’s sunflowers on November 1, 2019 during the flowering season and USFWS-designated optimum survey window. Suitable habitat was found along the SR 1134 (Millingport Road) roadside and woodland edges, but no sunflowers were observed. Based on the literature review and field survey conducted during the flowering season, it is determined that the project would have no effect on Schweinitz’s sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii). Based on review of the USFWS Asheville Field Office’s online database on June 12, 2019, no known NLEB hibernation or maternity sites have been documented within DocuSign Envelope ID: 34EFF0BC-B250-4488-8B7C-CF376FA8FBC1 02/10/21 3 Stanly County. A review of the NCNHP records obtained on May 6, 2019 revealed no known occurrences of NLEB within the study area or within one mile of the study area. Field reviews conducted by STV on November 1, 2019 concluded that no caves or mines (potential hibernacula) exist in the study area and no evidence of bats was discovered upon inspection of the bridge; however, potential foraging and roosting habitat, including trees and the air space above Long Creek, is present. Since this project is state funded, the USACE will act as the lead federal agency for issues related to the NLEB. The USACE has developed a Standard Local Operations Procedure for Endangered Species (SLOPES) to address Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) when they are the lead agency, which NCDOT will follow for this project. This procedure applies to projects in NCDOT Divisions 9-14. The requirements of the SLOPES for the NLEB will be completed prior to Let and will be submitted USACE. Based on the findings and in conforming to SLOPES procedures it has been determined that the USACE’s Alternative Local Procedure (ALP) Situation 1 would be applicable. The biological conclusion for NLEB is May Effect, however, NLEB is exempt due to consistency with the 4(d) rule. Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle Protection Act: The bald eagle is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act as regulated by the USFWS. Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forests found in association with rivers and other large bodies of open water utilized for foraging. Large dominant trees, typically located within one mile of these waters, are used as nesting sites. Prior to conducting field reviews, a desktop-GIS assessment of the study area and an area within a one-mile radius of the project limits was performed. Specifically, aerial photographs were reviewed to identify any areas of potential foraging habitat. No water bodies large enough to be considered potential foraging habitat for the bald eagle were identified within the study area or one- mile radius; therefore, it has been determined that no field surveys for the species are necessary. Review of the NCNHP element occurrence records obtained on June 12, 2019 revealed no known occurrences of bald eagle within one mile of the study area. Based on the desktop review and NCNHP element occurrence records, it is determined that the project would have no effect on the bald eagle. Special Project Information: Floodplain: This project involves construction activities on or adjacent to FEMA- regulated stream, Long Creek, which is classified as an AE floodplain and is at high risk of flooding under the National Flood Insurance Program. Consequently, the Hydraulics Unit will coordinate with the NC Floodplain Mapping Program (FMP), to determine status of project regarding applicability of NCDOT’S Memorandum of Agreement, or approval of a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) and subsequent final Letter of Map Revision (LOMR). Environmental Commitments: Greensheet Commitments are located at the end of the checklist. Estimated Costs (FY 2021): Utility $ 20,000 DocuSign Envelope ID: 34EFF0BC-B250-4488-8B7C-CF376FA8FBC1 02/10/21 4 Right-of-Way $ 47,500 Construction $ 1,265,000 Total $ 1,332,500 Traffic Information: Current (2019)* 1,400 vpd Year (2045)* 1,800 vpd TTST 1% DUALS 2% (Source: STV Bridge No.35, Millingport Road/R No. 17.BP.10.R.147 AADT Growth Memorandum AADT Growth Memorandum, June 2019) Design Exceptions: There are no anticipated design exceptions for this project. Pedestrian and Bicycle Accommodations: There are no existing bicycle facilities along SR 1134 (Millingport Road). Bicycle and pedestrian facilities are not proposed for this project. SR 1134 (Millingport Road) is identified as Route #2 in the Stanly County Bicycle Route Map. The Stanly County bicycle route system consists of signed bike routes which do not include any special accommodating bicycle facilities such as paved shoulders or bike lanes. Farmland: According to Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) soil-survey, approximately 4.11 acres of Prime Farmland, 2.54 acres Prime farmland if drained and either protected from flooding or not frequently flooded during the growing season and 11.80 acres of Farmland of Statewide Importance are within the Project Study Area. Preliminary design plans indicate that the proposed ROW acquisition and proposed temporary construction easements and permanent drainage easement would impact approximately 0.17 acres of soil classified as “Prime farmland if drained and either protected from flooding or not frequently flooded during the growing season.” Based on spatial information from the Stanly County GIS Department accessed on March 27, 2020, there are no Voluntary Agricultural Districts (VADs) or Enhance Voluntary Agricultural Districts (EVADs) within the Project Study Area. Based on aerial imagery and local input, it appears there is existing cultivated farmland within the Project Study Area. Proposed temporary construction easements may impact existing cultivated areas along SR 1134 (Millingport Road) on the eastern approach of the project. Farming operations in the vicinity of the bridge may be affected temporarily during construction by using the proposed eight-mile offsite detour route. Alternatives Discussion: No Build – The no build alternative would not replace a structurally deficient bridge, and thus is not a viable option. Rehabilitation – Rehabilitation would not address the structurally deficient nature of the bridge. Onsite Detour – An onsite detour was not evaluated due to the feasibility of the offsite detour. DocuSign Envelope ID: 34EFF0BC-B250-4488-8B7C-CF376FA8FBC1 02/10/21 5 New Alignment – Given that the existing alignment for SR 1134 (Millingport Road) is acceptable, a new alignment was not considered as an alternative. Offsite Detour – An approximately eight-mile off-site detour would be required for the full duration of construction. The detour route would take vehicles on SR 1134 (Millingport Road), SR 1449 (Sunnybrook Road), SR 1434 (Rogers Road), SR 1451 (Paul’s Crossing Road), and SR 1447 (Frick Road). Other Agency Comments: A Tribal Coordination Letter was sent out on January 13, 2021 to the representative of the Catawba Indian Nation, per the NCDOT Tribal Coordination Guidance (dated 6/26/19). To date, no responses have been received. A Local School Input Form was sent to Stanly County School System Transportation Director on 11/5/2019, with follow up emails on 1/10/2020 and 3/12/2020. No comments were received. Local EMS Input Forms were sent to the Stanly County Emergency Management Director and the Stanly County Emergency Medical Services Manager on 11/5/2019, 1/10/2020 and 3/12/2020. No comments were received. A Planner Input Form was sent to Stanly County Planning and Zoning Department on 11/5/2019. The Stanly County Planning Director indicated SR 1134 (Millingport Road) has no bike lanes but is popular route for bicyclists. Also noted in the input form were active agricultural operations within the vicinity of the project including Sunnybrook Farm as well as other leased fields in the general area surrounding the bridge. Sunnybrook Farm is listed as an Agricultural District with a large field operation and is located approximately 0.75 mile west of the bridge location outside of the Project Study Area. Additionally, farm support services within the general vicinity of the project were noted but are located outside of the Project Study Area. Stanly County Planning Director checked that replacing Bridge No. 35 would have a low overall impact for local planning objectives but also noted that bridge closure would be significant as SR 1134 (Millingport Road) is utilized as a major connector road. Response: According to the Bicycling Stanly County Map, identifies SR 1134 (Millingport Road) as a bike route (Route #2). As noted in Stanly County Bicycle Route Map, the bike routes are signed, on-street routes that predominately utilize local roads and do not include any special accommodations for bicycles, such as paved shoulders or bike lanes. There are no adopted local plans or proposed projects that identify constructing bicycle facilities along SR 1134 (Millingport Road). Based on spatial information from the Stanly County GIS Department accessed on March 27, 2020, there are no Voluntary Agricultural Districts (VADs) or Enhance Voluntary Agricultural Districts (EVADs) within the Project Study Area. Sunnybrook Farm is located approximately 0.75 to 1 mile west of the Bridge No. 35 on Sunnybrook Road.

Response to Question 9: The USFWS Raleigh Field Office online protected species database, updated June 27, 2018, lists three federally protected species as occurring or having the potential to occur in Stanly County including the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) which is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. As of June 12, 2019, the NCNHP lists no occurrences of federally protected species within one mile of the study area. As of June 27, 2018, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) county page lists three federally protected species, under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for Stanly County: Schweinitz’s sunflower, the Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) and the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) which is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Review of the NCNHP element occurrence records on June 12, 2019 revealed no documented occurrences or populations of Schweinitz’s sunflower in the study area or within one mile of the study area. STV Environmental Scientists conducted field surveys DocuSign Envelope ID: 34EFF0BC-B250-4488-8B7C-CF376FA8FBC1 02/10/21 9 for the presence of Schweinitz’s sunflowers on November 1, 2019 during the flowering season and USFWS-designated optimum survey window. Suitable habitat was found along the SR 1134 (Millingport Road) roadside and woodland edges, but no sunflowers were observed. Based on the literature review and field survey conducted during the flowering season, it is determined that the project would have no effect on Schweinitz’s sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii). Based on review of the USFWS Asheville Field Office’s online database on June 12, 2019, no known NLEB hibernation or maternity sites have been documented within Stanly County. A review of the NCNHP records obtained on May 6, 2019 revealed no known occurrences of NLEB within the study area or within one mile of the study area. Field reviews conducted by STV on November 1, 2019 concluded that no caves or mines (potential hibernacula) exist in the study area and no evidence of bats was discovered upon inspection of the bridge; however, potential foraging and roosting habitat, including trees and the air space above Long Creek, is present. The project may require tree clearing or pile driving but no blasting or percussive activities are anticipated. Based on the findings and in conforming to SLOPES procedures it has been determined that the USACE’s Alternative Local Procedure (ALP) Situation 1 would be applicable. The biological conclusion for NLEB is May Effect, however, NLEB is exempt due to consistency with the 4(d) rule. Response to Question 10: A Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 3 from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is anticipated. It is estimated that there would be approximately 131 linear feet of temporary stream impacts. No permanent wetland or stream impacts are anticipated. Stream relocations and/or channel modifications are not anticipated. No jurisdictional wetland areas were identified and delineated within the study area. Potential permanent fill impacts due to bridge construction may occur to Long Creek but will be avoided if possible and minimized if necessary.

PROJECT INFORMATION Project No: na County: Stanly WBS No: 17BP.10.R.147 Document: MCC F.A. No: na Funding: State Federal Federal Permit Required? Yes No Permit Type: USACE Project Description: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Division 10 intends to replace Bridge No. 35 on SR 1134, Millingport Road, over Long Creek southwest of Richfield. No preliminary designs were available at the time of the archaeological screening, but a study area for the project was submitted that measured 713.35 feet (nearly 217.43 meters) long and 200 feet (60.96 meters) wide. This study area encompasses nearly 3.28 acres (almost 1.33 hectares). The establishment of an area of potential effects (APE) for the proposed project is discussed below. SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions: In 2015, a request for archaeological screening was submitted for the proposed replacement of Bridge No. 35 on SR 1134, Millingport Road, over Long Creek (TIP No. B-5537; PA No. 15-02-0048). On March 26, 2015, a reconnaissance investigation was recommended for the proposed bridge replacement project. At that time, aerial photography and historic mapping were interpreted to suggest an earlier road crossing or mill features to the north of the existing transportation features. It was also noted that the project was in close proximity to the recorded locations of the Miller House (ST0079), The Alonzo Miller Roadside House (ST0081) and opposite the study-listed Henderson Rogers Farm. This assessment was further reinforced by the results of the historic architecture survey, which was conducted in July 2015 by NCDOT architectural historian, Kate Husband, who noted the remains of a mill dam “just north of the bridge”. Those remains were note considered to be an eligible resource for the purposes of the historic architecture survey. This archaeological reconnaissance survey was conducted on March 10, 2017, by NCDOT archaeologists Shane Petersen and Brian Overton. The investigation included a visual inspection of the entire proposed APE. The existing 60-foot ROW along SR 1134 is characterized by severe disturbances associated with the construction and maintenance of the extant transportation facilities. These disturbances include grading, ditching, and cut banks, as well as presumed areas of fill. In the areas immediately adjacent existing ROW, much of the APE is dominated by sloped landforms with a narrow alluvial terrace at the base of the slope. No subsurface testing was deemed necessary for the proposed APE, and it is considered very unlikely that any archaeological resources of significance would remain intact within those areas. As reported by Husband, the remains of a mill complex are clearly visible to the north of Bridge No. 35. An examination of historic mapping isn’t definitive about the date that the mill first appears; the mill pond can clearly be seen on the 1920 Rural Delivery Map for Stanly County and the structures that are presumable associated with the mill building are illustrated on the 1938 State Highway Map for Stanly Project Tracking No.: “No ARCHAEOLOGY SURVEY REQUIRED” form for the Amended Minor Transportation Projects as Qualified in the 2015 Programmatic Agreement. 2 of 10 19-01-0008 County straddling Long Creek. The earliest mapping identified depicting the mill pond, however, was the 1916 Soil Map for Stanly County. There is some evidence that Millingport road may have been originally oriented slightly farther north than the existing alignment (at least of the eastern side of Long Creek) prior to 1970, when the existing bridge was constructed. Some of the earlier mapping, including earlier United States Geologic Service maps, suggests the alignment might have been further north. The area immediately adjacent ROW to the north of SR 1134 and east of Long Creek appears to be graded as if it was once a road bed. Additionally, along the north side of SR 1134, but to the west of Long Creek, an old ROW marker was noted roughly 17 feet (more than 5 meters) from the edge of pavement along Millingport Road. In any case, extant features observed included remnants of the stone dam, the stone and concrete mill foundation (including what appeared to be a possible turbine bay), and concrete piers. No mill machinery was observed on site. These features, recorded as site 31ST243**, were photographed and mapped via GPS. Site 31ST243** was originally determined to lay well outside the proposed project area for B- 5537; the closest feature (a concrete pier) is located more than 67 feet (nearly 21 meters) north of the edge of pavement on SR 1134 and nearly 33 feet (about 10 meters) north of the then-proposed APE. The exception to this earlier assessment lies in the mill dam. The westernmost end of the dam extended into the proposed ROW for B-5537 and ties into the existing easement along SR 1448, Miller Road. Cut-and- fill lines depicted on designs for the B-5537 project were located immediately adjacent the mapped end of the dam. Impacts associated with improvements to the SR 11334/SR1448 intersection to the mill dam based on the B-5537 designs were considered insignificant in 2017 (though a very small portion will be located in the new ROW). To the southwest of Bridge No. 35, a cinder-block retaining wall/foundation remnant was observed at the outside edge of the proposed APE (but outside proposed cut-and-fill lines). It is likely that these structural remains are a good deal younger than the mill on Long Creek, although it is possible that the structure was related at some point in the past. These structural remains were photographed and mapped via GPS in the same way that 31ST243** was recorded, although they were not considered likely to be impacted by the B-5537 designs either. The current study area for the bridge replacement is considerably larger than the 1.9-acre area encompassed by the APE in 2017 based on the B-5537 designs. Based on consultation with engineering staff at NCDOT Division 10 (vis email on January 16, 2019), the APE for B-5537 will be considered to be the current APE rather than the submitted study area for the purposes of this archaeological screening. Given the location of the significant portions of 31ST243** well outside the proposed APE, this site is not expected to be impacted by the current project. As per the conclusions of a meeting with the review staff at the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on April 20, 2017, a site for m will be completed and submitted to OSA. But, neither further archaeological or documentary investigations, nor attempts to determine the eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places of 31ST243** will be undertaken as a result of the bridge replacement project as currently proposed. The bridge replacement project, as currently proposed, will be considered to be compliant with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and North Carolina General Statute 121-12(a). No further archaeological investigations are required for the project within the area established as the current APE. Should the project change to include a larger footprint than covered by the current APE, further consultation will be necessary. If the proposed project expands into the core portions of the mill site, a full evaluation of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility will be required for site 31ST243**. In the unlikely event that archaeological remains are encountered during the bridge replacement project, work should cease in that area and the NCDOT Archaeology Group should be notified immediately.

This original APE, as outlined above, is considered to be the current APE for the proposed project. No additional archaeological resources of significance are expected within this area and no further investigations should be necessary as long as the APE does not expand from the 2017 limits.

The USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) was used to obtain an official species list on October 26, 2022. IPaC lists one federally protected species as occurring or having the potential to occur in the study area (Table 1) as well as the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) which is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Additionally, the Tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) has been proposed endangered and is included although the species is not currently protected. As of October 3, 2022, the NCNHP lists no occurrences of federally protected species within one mile of the study area. A brief description of each species, including habitat requirements and physical characteristics, and biological conclusion rendered based on surveys of the study area follow. Habitat requirements for each species are based on current available literature and/or the USFWS. Table 1. ESA federally protected species potentially occurring within the study area Scientific Name Common Name Federal Status Habitat Present Biological Conclusion Helianthus schweinitzii Schweinitz’s sunflower E Yes No Effect Perimyotis subflavus Tricolored bat PE Yes Unresolved E – Endangered PE – Proposed Endangered Schweinitz’s sunflower USFWS optimal survey window: Late August - October Schweinitz’s sunflower is a perennial herbaceous plant species limited to the Piedmont regions and counties of North and South Carolina. The plant grows from one to two meters tall originating from a cluster of tuberous roots. The plant’s flower consists of yellow disk and ray flowers formed on small heads less than 1.5 centimeter (cm) in diameter. The petals, or modified leaves, are two to three cm long. The lanceolate leaves are arranged in an opposite pattern within the lower two- thirds of the stem transitioning to alternate within the upper third. The typical habitat for Schweinitz’s sunflower includes periodically maintained roadsides and utility line rights -of-way (R/Ws), old pastures, edges of upland woods, and other disturbed open areas. Soils associated with suitable Schweinitz’s sunflower habitat generally include thin upland soils clayey in texture (and often with substantial rock fragments) which have a high shrink-swell capacity. Flowering occurs from August to the first frost of the year. Supplemental Information – Stanly 035 STV Environmental Scientists Joshua Kotheimer, PWS conducted field surveys for the presence of Schweinitz’s sunflowers on November 1, 2019, and August 30, 2022, during the flowering season and USFWS-designated optimum survey window. Suitable habitat was found along the SR 1134 roadside and woodland edges, but no sunflowers were observed. Review of the NCNHP element occurrence records on October 3, 2022, revealed no documented occurrences or populations of Schweinitz’s sunflower in the study area or within one mile of the study area. Based on the literature review and field survey conducted during the flowering season, it is determined that the project would have ‘No Effect’ on Schweinitz’s sunflower. Biological Conclusion: No Effect Tricolored bat USFWS optimal survey window: Undetermined The Tricolored bat is one of the smallest bats native to North America with a body length of 3-3.5 inches. The Tricolored bat is distinguished by its unique tricolored fur that is dark at the tip and base and lighter in the middle. Tricolored bats often appear orange to a pale yellow but may also appear black, chocolate brown, or silvery-gray. Young Tricolored bats appear much darker than the grayer adults. The range for the Tricolored bat stretches from Central America to Canada including central and eastern United States. During the winter, Tricolored bats are found in mines and caves. Where caves are sparse like the southern United States, Tricolored bats have been found roosting in road-associated culverts, tree cavities and abandoned water wells. During the fall, summer, and spring Tricolored bats are found in forested habitats. Tricolored bats primarily roost among dead and live leaf clusters of live or recently dead deciduous hardwood trees. In the southern portion of their range Tricolored bats will roost in Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) Other roosting spots include, eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), barns, beneath porch roofs, bridges, and concrete bunkers. Female Tricolored bats often return to the same summer roosting locations year after year. In early evenings Tricolored bats forage at or above the tree level. Later in the evening the Tricolored bat is more commonly found foraging over waterways and forests edges. Review of the NCNHP records obtained on October 3, 2022, revealed no known occurrences of Tricolored bat within the study area or within one mile of the study area. Currently there is not a protocol for the Tricolored bat as it is proposed for listing and is not yet afforded protection under the Endangered Species Act. The Tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) was proposed for listing as Endangered by the USFWS in September 2022. If required, the Tricolored bat will be revisited under new guidance set forth by the USFWS. NCDOT is committed to completing a bat assessment of appropriately sized structures within 30 days of removal. Due to the anticipated future listing the project has a biological conclusion of ‘Unresolved’ for Tricolored bat. Biological Conclusion: Unresolved Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act The bald eagle is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act as regulated by the USFWS. Habitat for the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forests found in association with rivers and other large bodies of open water utilized for foraging. Large dominant trees, typically located within one mile of these waters, are used as nesting sites. Supplemental Information – Stanly 035 Prior to conducting field reviews, a desktop-GIS assessment of the study area and an area within a one-mile radius of the project limits was performed. Specifically, aerial photographs were reviewed to identify any areas of potential foraging habitat. No water bodies large enough to be considered potential foraging habitat for the bald eagle were identified within the study area or one-mile radius; therefore, it has been determined that no field surveys for the species are necessary. Review of the NCNHP element occurrence records obtained on October 3, 2022, revealed no known occurrences of bald eagle within one mile of the study area. Based on the desktop review and NCNHP element occurrence records, it is determined that the project would have no effect on bald eagle.
