Subject: Section 404 Nationwide Permit 23 and 33 Application for the replacement of Bridge
No. 20 on NC 902 over Sandy Branch, Chatham County. Federal Project No. BRZ-902(3),
WBS No. 33427.1.1, State Project No. 8.1522301, T.I.P. B-4063, Division 8.
Dear Sir:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge No. 20 over
Sandy Branch. The project involves replacing the current bridge on new alignment east of the existing
structure. The proposed structure will be a single-span bridge approximately 90 feet in length and will
span Sandy Branch. The minimum clear roadway width will be 30 feet to provide two 12-foot lanes,
with minimum 3-foot shoulders. The approach roadway will provide two 12-foot lanes with 8-foot grass
shoulders. During construction, traffic will be maintained on the existing bridge. Please fmd enclosed
the Pre-Construction Notification, permit drawings and design plans for the subject project. A
Categorical Exclusion was signed in November 2006 and distributed shortly thereafter. Additional
copies are available upon request.
IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES
The project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin (sub-basin 03-06-12). This area is part of Hydrologic
Cataloging Unit 03030003 of the Carolina Slate Belt Region. The section of Sandy Branch crossed by the
bridge has been assigned Stream Index Number 17-43-16-1 by the N.C Division of Water Quality. Sandy
Branch has a best usage classification of C. Sandy Branch and one unnamed tributary (UT) to Sandy
Branch are the only jurisdictional streams that will be impacted by the proposed project.
Sandy Branch is a perennial stream that flows in a southeasterly direction towards Bear Creek. Sandy
Branch is approximately 20 to 25 feet wide with a substrate of large gravel, cobble and bedrock.
UT 1 to Sandy Branch is an intermittent channel located along NC 902. UT 1 is approximately 3 to 4
feet wide with a substrate of gravel, sand and silt.

WEBSITE: WWW.NCDOT.ORG

No designated High Quality Waters (HQW), Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), WS-I or WS-II
waters occur within one-mile of the project area. Sandy Branch is not listed on the 2006 List of impaired
waters [Section 303(d)] for the Cape Fear River Basin nor does it drain into any 303(d) waters within 1-
mile of the project area.
There was one wetland located within the study area. This wetland is located on the southwest side of
NC 902 and is 0.01 acres in size. The wetland is classified as a palustrine Forested Broadleaf Deciduous
Seasonally Flooded (PFO1 C). This wetland is not being impacted by the construction of the new bridge.
Temporary Impacts
Construction of the new bridge will result in a total of 0.01-acre (1 OO linear feet) of temporary impacts.
An unnamed tributary to Sandy Branch located on the eastern side of NC 902 will have 66 linear feet of
temporary stream impacts due to the installation of a 72-inch crosspipe (Site 1). Sandy Branch will have
0.01 acre (341inear feet) of temporary stream impacts due to the construction of a temporary work pad
(Site 2).
Permanent Impacts
There will be a total of 601inear feet of permanent stream impacts for the construction of the new bridge.
There will be 48 linear feet of permanent stream impacts to UT 1 to Sandy Branch due to the installation
of a 72-inch crosspipe (Site 1). There will be 121inear feet of permanent stream impacts to Sandy
Branch resulting from bank stabilization (Site 2).
There will be no wetland impacts associated with this project.
Utility Impacts
Construction of the new bridge will require the relocation of water, power and phone utilities. One power
pole located on the north side of the project area is in conflict with the construction of a lateral "V" ditch
and will be pushed back 5-feet towards the right-of--way line. No jurisdictional impacts will result from
the relocation of the power pole.
All telephone poles will be relocated outside of the project limits. No jurisdictional impacts will result
from the relocation of the telephone poles.
There is a 3/a-inch water services line located to the north of NC 902 that is in conflict with construction
of the ditch and will be relocated outside the ditch line to within 5-feet of the proposed right or way line.
No jurisdictional impacts will result from the relocation of the water services line.
Bridge Demolition
Existing Bridge No. 20 has two spans and totals 70-feet in length. The superstructure consists of a
reinforced concrete deck on I-beams with metal railings. The substructure consists of end bents
composed of reinforced concrete caps on timber piles, and the interior bent is reinforced concrete post
and beam. One bent is located within the water.
The bridge will be removed without dropping any components into waters of the United States. Best
Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and Removal and Protection of Surface Waters will be
followed.
B-4063 Permit Application
Page2of5

Restoration P1An
Following construction of the bridge, all material used in the construction of the structure will be
removed. The impact area associated with the bridge is expected to recover naturally, since the natural
streambed and plant material will not be removed. NCDOT does not propose any additional planting in
this area. Class II riprap and filter fabric will be used for bank stabilization. Pre-project elevations will
be restored. NCDOT will restore stream to its pre-project contours.
Removal and Disposal Plan
The contractor will be required to submit a reclamation plan for the removal and disposal of all material
off-site at an upland location. The contractor will use excavation equipment for removal of any earthen
material. Heavy-duty trucks, dozers, cranes, and various other pieces of mechanical equipment necessary
for construction of roadways and bridges will be used on site. The contractor will have the option of
reusing any of the materials that the engineer deems suitable in the construction of the project. After the
erosion control devices are no longer needed, all temporary materials will become property of the
contractor.
Following construction of the bridge, all temporary fills will be completely removed from the streams.
Stream contours and vegetation will be reestablished upon the removal of the temporary causeway. Class
II riprap and filter fabric will be used for bank stabilization.
MITIGATION OPTIONS
Avoidance and Minimization and Compensatory Mitigation: The NCDOT is committed to
incorporating all reasonable and practicable design features to avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts,
and to provide full compensatory mitigation of all remaining, unavoidable jurisdictional impacts.
Avoidance measures were taken during the planning and NEPA compliance stages; minimization
measures were incorporated as part of the project design.
According to the Clean Water Act (CWA) §404(b)(1) guidelines, NCDOT must avoid, minimize, and
mitigate, in sequential order, impacts to waters of the US. The following is a list of the project's
jurisdictional stream avoidance/minimization activities proposed or completed by NCDOT:
Avoidance/Minimization
The proposed project will completely span Sandy Branch, allowing for pre-project stream flows to
maintain the current water quality, aquatic habitat, and flow regime.
Traffic will be maintained on the existing structure during construction.
Temporary construction impacts due to erosion and sedimentation will be minimized through
implementation of stringent erosion control schedule and use of Best Management Practices (BMPs).
Compensatory Mitigation:
There will be a minimal amount of stream impacts associated with the construction of the new bridge.
The 12-feet of impacts to Sandy Branch are minimal and only for bank stabilization and will not create
an adverse effect on the aquatic environment. The remaining 48-feet of impacts to an intermittent UT to
Sandy Branch are minimal and therefore, no compensatory mitigation is proposed.

FEDERALLY PROTECTED SPECIES
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed Endangered and
Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of May 10, 2007, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) lists four federally protected species for Chatham County. Table 1 lists the species, their
status and biological conclusion.
Table 1. Federall -Protected S ecies for Chatham Coun , NC
Common Name Scientific Name Federal
Status Habitat
Present Biological
Conclusion
Bald eagle Haleaeetus leucephalus Delisted No N/A
Cape Fear Shiner Notropis mekistocholas E No No Effect
Harperella Ptilimnium nodosum E No No Effect
Red-cockaded
woodpecker Picoides borealis E No No Effect
A Biological Conclusion of "No Effect" was given in the Categorical Exclusion for the bald eagle based
on lack of habitat. It has been delisted as of August 8, 2007 from the Endangered Species Act but is still
protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. A Biological Conclusion of "No Effect" was
also given to the Cape Fear shiner, harperella, and the red-cockaded woodpecker. Afield survey for the
Cape Fear shiner was conducted on October 26, 2006 by NCDOT Biologists. There was no suitable
habitat for the Cape Fear Shiner in the project area. Therefore, it is the conclusion of NCDOT that the
original call of "No Effect" is still valid for the Cape Fear Shiner.
Afield survey for harperella and the red-cockaded woodpecker was conducted on July 12, 2007 by
NCDOT Biologists. The project area did not contain suitable habitat for harperella or the red-cockaded
woodpecker. It is the conclusion of NCDOT that the original call of "No Effect" is still valid for
harperella and the red-cockaded woodpecker.
Schedule: The review date for this project is February 26, 2008. The project calls for a letting of April
15, 2008 with a date of availability of May 27, 2008. It is expected that contractor will choose to start
construction in May 2008.
REGULATORY APPROVALS
Section 404 Permit: The project is being processed by the Federal Highway Administration as a
"Categorical Exclusion" in accordance with 23 CFR 771.115(b). The NCDOT requests that these
activities be authorized by a Nationwide Permit 23, (Federal Register Vol. 72, No. 47 Pages 11092-
11198; March 12, 2007). We are also requesting the issuance of a Nationwide 33 for the temporary
causeway associated with bridge construction within Sandy Branch.
Section 401 Permit: We anticipate General Certification numbers 3632 and 3634 will apply to this
project. All general conditions of the Water Quality Certifications will be met. Therefore, in accordance
with 1 SA NCAC 2H, Section .0500(a) and 15A NCAC 2B.0200 we are providing two copies of this
application to the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources, Division of
Water Quality, for their notification.

were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. See cover letter.
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 1501inear 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.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for
USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a
required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An
applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft
Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
htt~//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as
much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description
of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate
sheet if more space is needed.

INTRODUCTION: The replacement of Bridge No. 20 is included in the 2006-2012 North
Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Transportation Improvement Program (T.I.P.)
and in the Federal-Aid Bridge Replacement Program. The location is shown in Figure 1. No
substantial environmental impacts are anticipated. The project is classified as a Federal "Categorical
Exclusion."
I. PURPOSE AND NEED
Bridge Maintenance Unit records indicate that Bridge No. 20 has a sufficiency rating of 38.3 out of a
possible 100 for a new structure. The bridge is considered functionally obsolete. The replacement of
this inadequate structure will result in safer and more efficient traffic operations.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
Bridge No. 20 is located on NC 902 in Chatham County, approximately 9.0 miles southeast of Siler
City, North Carolina. NC 902 is classified as a Rural Minor Collector by the statewide functional
classification system and listed as a North Carolina Scenic Byway.
Land use in the project area is rural in nature, primarily consisting of single-family residential and
agricultural properties. Cattle's fencing is located in the northeast and northwest quadrants. The
future land use in the area is expected to remain residential in nature.
The 2006 estimated average daily traffic (ADT) volume is 1,650 vehicles per day (vpd). The
projected 2030 ADT is 3,400 vpd. The percentages of truck traffic are 3 percent dual tired vehicles
and 4 percent truck-tractor semi trailer (TTST). The speed limit on NC 902 is not posted in the
vicinity of Bridge No. 20; therefore, a statuary speed limit of 55 miles per hour (mph) applies.
Bridge No. 20 was built in 1950 (Figure 2). It is a tangent two-lane structure with a clear roadway
width of 20 feet. The bridge has two spans and totals 70 feet in length. The superstructure consists
of a reinforced concrete deck on I-beams with metal railings. The substructure consists of end bents
composed of reinforced concrete caps on timber piles, and the interior bent is reinforced concrete
post and beam. The height from crown to streambed is 15 feet. Bridge No. 20 is posted at 18 tons
for single vehicle (S~ and 23 tons for TTST.
The approach roadway provides two 10-foot travel lanes with 6-foot grassed shoulders. The
approach curve from the south has a 780-foot radius with a design speed of 50 mph. The approach
curve from the north has a 965-foot radius with a design speed of 55 mph. The bridge is located in
a vertical sag curve and on a tangent between two horizontal curves.
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 1

There are four buses that cross Bridge No. 20 totaling approximately 10 trips each day.
US Sprint has aerial telephone cable that crosses over Sandy Branch along the west side of NC 902.
Progress Energy has aerial power transmission lines that run along NC 902 on the west side. A
private water line approximately 1.5 inches in diameter is located along the west side of NC 902
south of Bridge No. 20 and supplies water to the property in the southwest quadrant. Utility impacts
are expected to be low.
Four accidents were reported in the project area during the period from October 2002 to September
2005. There were no fatalities.
The widening of US 421 to four lanes from the Town of Gulf to Siler City (R-2610) is scheduled to
be completed in 2007.
NC 902 at the project site is part of a designated bicycle route. There are no indications that there
are an unusual number of bicyclists using this road. .
III. ALTERNATIVES
A. Project Description
Based on preliminary hydraulic analysis, the recommended replacement structure is a single-span
bridge approximately 90 feet in length. The existing vertical clearance will be maintained. A
minimum 0.3 percent grade is recommended to facilitate bridge deck drainage. The minimum clear
roadway width will be 30 feet to provide two 12-foot lanes, with minimum 3-foot shoulders (Figure
3A). T'he length of the new structure may increase or decrease as necessary to accommodate peak
flows as determined by a detailed hydrologic analysis during the final design phase.
The approach roadway will provide two 12-foot lanes with 8-foot grass shoulders (Figure 3A). The
design speed will be 60 mph.
B. Build Alternatives
Four build alternatives were studied for this project. They are described below.
Alternative A replaces the bridge at the existing location (Figure 4A). During construction, traffic
will be maintained by an off-site detour that follows SR 1176 (Old US Highway 421), SR 2333
(Ralph Sipe Road), and US 421. The detour is approximately six miles in length. The user cost
incurred by detoured motorist for an approximate nine months road closure is approximately
$1,080,000.
Design exceptions for the horizontal curve for the existing southern approach curve and stopping
sight distance are anticipated.
"This alternative was not selected because it has two design exceptions and an off-site detour.
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 2

Alternative B replaces the bridge at the existing location (Figure 4B). During construction, traffic
will be maintained by an on-site detour east of the existing structure. The detour structure will
provide for two 11-foot travel lanes with 2-foot shoulders (Figure 3B). The detour approach
roadway will provide two 11-foot travel lanes and 6-foot grass shoulders.
Design exceptions for the horizontal curve for the existing southern approach curve and stopping
sight distance are anticipated.
This alternative was not selected because it has two design exceptions.
Alternative C (preferred) replaces the bridge on new alignment east of the existing structure
(Figure 4C). During construction, traffic will be maintained on the existing structure.
C. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Study
Alternative D replaces the bridge on new alignment west of the existing structure (Figure 4D).
During construction, traffic will be maintained on the existing structure. This alternative was
eliminated because it impacted aquatic ripple habitat, wetlands, and utilities west of Bridge No. 20.
The "do-nothing" alternative will eventually necessitate closure of the bridge. This is not desirable
due to the traffic service provided by NC 902 and Bridge No. 20.
Investigation of the existing structure by the Bridge Maintenance Unit indicates that "rehabilitation"
of this bridge is not feasible due to its age and deteriorated condition.
D. Preferred Alternative
Alternative C was selected as the preferred alternative because it maintains traffic on site, no design
exceptions are anticipated, it avoids impacts to wetlands and aquatic ripple habitat, and minimises
impacts to utilities.
The Division Engineer concurs with Alternative C as the preferred.
E. Design Exception
No design exceptions are anticipated with the preferred Alternative C.

V. NATURAL RESOURCES SUMMARY
A. Methodology
Field investigations along the project area were conducted by qualified biologists on January 19,
2004. Field surveys were undertaken to determine natural resource conditions and to document
natural communities, wildlife, Waters of the United States (US), and the presence of protected
species or their habitats.
Published information regarding the project area and region was derived from a number of
resources including:
• USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle map (Bear Creek, North Carolina)
• US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps
• USGS and NCDOT aerial photography of the project area
• Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) soil survey maps of Chatham County
• Water resources information was obtained from publications of the North Carolina Division
of Water Quality (NCDWQ)
• USF'WS list of protected species for Chatham County
• North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database of rare species and unique
habitats
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 4

Dominant plant species were identified in each strata for all natural communities encountered. Plant
community descriptions are based on those classified in Schafale and Weakley (1990), where
applicable. Names and descriptions of plant species generally follow Radford et al. (1968), unless
more current information is available. Animal names and descriptions follow Bogan (2002), Conant
and Collins (1998), Lee et al. (1980 et seq.), Martof et al. (1980), Stokes and Stokes (1996), and
Webster et al. (1985). Scientific names and common names (when applicable) are provided for each
plant and animal species listed. Subsequent references to the same organism include the common
name only.
During field surveys, wildlife identification involved a variety of observation techniques: active
searching and capture, visual observations (both with and without the use of binoculars), and
observing the characteristic signs of wildlife (sounds, scat, tracks, and burrows). Any organisms that
may have been captured during these searches were identified and released without injury.
Quantitative water sampling was not undertaken to support existing data.
Jurisdictional wetland determinations were performed using the three-parameter approach as
prescribed in the 1987 Carps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory,
1987). Supplementary technical literature describing the parameters of hydrophytic vegetation,
hydric soils, and hydrological indicators was also utilized. Wetland functions were evaluated
according to the NCDWQ's rating system, 4~' version (1995). Surface waters in the project area
were evaluated and classified based on a preponderance of perennial stream characteristics as
defined in NCDWQ's Stream Classification Method, 2°d version (1999) and evaluated using the most
recent version of the USACE Stream Quality Assessment IY/orksheet.
B. Physical Characteristics
1. Physiography and Soils
The project site is located in southern Chatham County and encompasses an area approximately one
mile northeast of the community of Bear Creek. Chatham County is situated in the central part of
the state in the Piedmont physiographic province. The geography of Chatham County consists
predominantly of rolling hills, with steep areas surrounding major streams. Narrow, nearly level
floodplains exist along most of the small to medium sized streams.
Elevations in the project area range from approximately 425 feet above mean sea level (msl) along
Sandy Branch to approximately 580 feet above msl at the radio tower located one mile northeast of
the project area, as depicted on the Bear Creek, North Carolina, USGS topographic quadrangle map.
The project site is located in the Carolina Slate Belt system, which is composed of bedded argillites,
felsic volcanics, and mafic volcanics and fine-grained schists (NCSU, 1999). The geology underlying
the area is a boundary between a metavolcanic-epiclastic rock system and metamudstone and
metaargillite system. The metavolcanic-epiclastic rock system is composed of metamorphosed
argillite, mudstone, volcanic sandstone, conglomerate, and volcanic rock. The metamudstone and
metaargillite system is thin to thick bedded with cleavage of the axial and bedding planes common.
It is interbedded with metamudstone, metaconglomerate, and metavolcanic rock (NCDLR, 1985).

The process of soil development depends on both biotic and abiotic influences. These influences
include past geologic activities, nature of parent materials, environmental and human influences,
plant and animal activity, time, climate, and topographical position. Soil units mapped at the project
site include Riverview silt loam, Nanford-Badin complex, and Cid-Lignum complex. These soils are
briefly described below.
Riverview silt loams occur along rivers and streams and are frequently flooded. They are very
deep, well drained soils with moderate permeability and a high to very high available water
capacity. The apparent seasonal high water table is within 3 to 5 feet of the soil surface between
December and March. Depth to bedrock is generally more than 5 feet.
• The Nanford-Badin Complex occurs either along interstream divides and broad ridges (lower
slopes) or on ridges and side slopes (steeper slopes). Nanford soils are deep, well drained soils
with high available water capacity. Badin soils are moderately deep, well drained soils with a
moderate available water capacity. Depth to the seasonal high water table is more than 6 feet
and depth to bedrock is more than 5 feet.
• Cid-Lignum Complex soils are deep soils that are somewhat poorly and moderately well drained,
with a moderate (Cid) or high (Lignum) available water capacity. The depth to a perched
seasonal high water table ranges from 1 to 2.5 feet for Cid soils and between 1 and 2.5 feet for
Lignum soils. Depth to soft bedrock is generally between 1.5 and 3.5 feet below the soil surface.
Hydric soils are defined as soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the
growing season to develop anaerobic conditions that favor the growth and regeneration of
hydrophytic vegetation (Cowardin et al., 1979).
Soils referred to as "hydric A" are completely hydric throughout the mapped soil unit. "Hydric B"
soils are non-hydric soils that contain inclusions of hydric soils, usually in depressional areas or along
the border with other soil units. Based on current Chatham County soil survey field sheets, two
hydric B soil map units occur in depressions and drainageways in the project area: Cid loam and
Riverview silt loam.
2. Water Resources
Streams, creeks, and tributaries within the project vicinity are completely within the Cape Fear River
Basin, the largest river basin in the state.
Sandy Branch and two unnamed tributaries (UTs) are the only surface waters withal the project
study area. Sandy Branch is a tributary to Bear Creek and is a perennial stream. It flows in a
southeasterly direction to its confluence with Bear Creek approximately one mile downstream of the
bridge. One tributary (UT1) is an intermittent channel located along NC 902 south of the project
site that has its confluence with Sandy Branch downstream of the bridge. The other tributary (UT2)
is an intermittent channel located along SR 2128. It flows across the northwest quadrant of the study
area before joining Sandy Branch upstream of the bridge. Stream evaluation forms for Sandy
Branch and these two UTs are in the Appendix.
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 6

,~ ~T
Sandy Branch is located within Cape Fear River Subbasin 03-06-12, which includes the Rocky River,
Bear Creek, Tick Creek, and Loves Creek. Streams in this subbasin axe rocky streams characterized
by very low base flows during summer months. The NCDWQ stream index number for Sandy
Branch is 17-43-16-1 and the USGS 8-digit hydrologic unit is 03030003. The North Carolina
Administrative Code defines a perennial stream as having water flowing in awell-defined channel
for a majority of the year (greater than 90 percent of the time) (NCAC,1999).
The NCDWQ classifies surface waters of the state based on their intended best uses. Streams which
have not been assigned a best usage classification or rating generally carry the same classification or
rating as the receiving waters. Sandy Branch and its UTs account for the surface waters in the
project study area and are Class "C" waters. The class "C" designation denotes freshwaters
protected for secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish and aquatic life propagation and survival,
and others uses. The two UTs have not been assigned a use classification by the NCDWQ;
therefore, they carry the same classification as Sandy Branch. No Outstanding Resource Waters
(ORW), High Quality Waters (HQW), or drinking water supply (WS-I or WS-Il) waters occur within
a one mile radius of the project study area. There are no 303(d) listed streams within a one mile
radius of the project site.
The Ambient Monitoring System (AMS) is a network of stream, lake, and estuarine water-quality
monitoring stations strategically located for the collection of physical and chemical water quality
data. The nearest stream with a use support rating is the Rocky River, located more than 12 miles
downstream of the project site below the Bear Creek confluence. An AMS monitoring station (B-4)
is located at US 15/501 near Center Grove on this portion of the Rocky River. Sandy Branch is
currently not rated (NR) for use support due to insufficient data. Waters that are not rated generally
carry the same use support rating as the receiving waters. Sandy Branch has a "fully supporting"
(FS) rating. A "FS" rating is given to waterbodies that fully support their designated uses and
generally have good or excellent water quality.
The North Carolina Index of Biotic Integrity (NCIBl) is used to assess the biological integrity of
streams by examining the structure and health of the fish community. The index incorporates
information about species richness and composition, trophic composition, fish abundance and fish
condition. A monitoring site is located approximately 2.3 miles south of the project study area at a
headwater reach of the Rocky River above the Rocky River Reservoir. This site was last sampled in
1998 and received a "Good" NCIBI rating.
Bioclassification criteria have been developed that are based on the number of benthic
macroinvertebrates (primarily Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Tricoptera) present in streams and
rivers because they are very sensitive to the effects of water pollution. Streams and river reaches are
given,a bioclassification rating that ranges from Excellent to Poor based on benthic
macroinvertebrate collection data. These bioclassifications, which have been developed for North
Carolina's major ecoregions, are used to assess the various impacts of both point source discharges
and non-point source runoff. Benthic macroinvertebrate samples were collected from three sites
along the Rocky River between 1993 and 1998. The sampling location closest to the bridge site is
located at US 15/501, downstream from the project site and is identified as B-4. This site was last
sampled in 1998 and was given a bioclassification rating of "Good" (NCDWQ, 1999).
Point source dischargers throughout North Carolina are regulated through the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. According to the August 18, 2005 list of active
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 7

f
NPDES permits issued by NCDWQ there are four permitted dischargers within Cape Fear ,
Subbasin 03-06-12. One facility, the Siler City Wastewater Treatment Plant, has a discharge greater
than 1.0 million gallons per day and discharges to Loves Creek. There are no permitted dischargers
on Sandy Branch.
Short-term impacts to water quality from construction-related activities include increased
sedimentation and turbidity. Long-term construction related impacts to water resources include
substrate destabilization, bank erosion, increased turbidity, altered flow rates, and possible
temperature fluctuations within the channel due to removal of streamside vegetation. Best
management practices will be taken to minimise impacts to water resources from runoff and erosion
in the project area.
Field characteristics of the stream were assessed based on the classification system established by
Dave Rosgen of Wildland Hydrology. The Rosgen classification system for stream channels is
based on fluvial geomorphologic principles and landscape position. The stream channel is between
20 and 25 feet wide near the bridge, with fast flowing clear water over a substrate of large gravel,
cobble, and bedrock. Channel width at the top of the bank is between 30 and 35 feet, with bank
heights averaging 5 to 7 feet above the water. Water depths appeared to be 6 to 8 inches at riffles
and 2 to 4 feet at pools.
a. Anticipated Impacts to Water Resources
Construction includes replacement of Bridge No. 20 on NC 902 over Sandy Branch. Placement of
end bents and interior bents will impact surface waters as follows:
• Alternatives A and C (preferred) will have approximately 0.01 acre of permanent fill and 60
linear feet of existing channel impacts. Channel impacts occur on UT1 because roadway
widening for the bridge approach requires extension of the existing pipe.
• Alternative B will have approximately 0.01 acre of temporary fill for the detour bridge, 0.01
acre of permanent fill, and 135 linear feet of existing channel impacts. Channel impacts
include 601inear feet to UTl for extension of the existing pipe.
b. Impacts Related to Bridge Demolition
Bridge demolition activities to remove the existing bridge are included as part of the build
alternatives. The steel and timber components of the existing bridge will be removed without being
dropped into Waters of the US. However, there is potential for components of the concrete deck
and piles to create a maximum temporary fill of approximately 46 cubic yards. The bridge
demolition activities associated with this replacement will strictly follow NCDOT's Best Management
Practicer for Construction and Maintenance Activities All methods of demolition shall be considered and
implemented where practical, other than dropping the bridge in the water.

C. Biotic Resources
1. Terrestrial Communities
Two plant communities occur in the study area: mixed hardwood forest and man-
dominated/disturbed areas. Recent timber operations had clear cut an area in the southeast
quadrant, between Sandy Branch and UT1, south of the bridge. One wetland was delineated within
the mixed hardwood forest community on the southwest side of the bridge.
a. Mixed Hardwood Forest Community
The mixed hardwood forest is located adjacent to the stream and along the roadside in undisturbed
areas. This community appears to be a variation of the Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest (Piedmont
Subtype) identified by Schafale and Weakley (1990). These occur on acidic soils in lower slopes,
steep north-facing slopes, ravines, and occasionally well-drained small stream bottoms. Under
natural conditions they are uneven-aged, with old trees present. Reproduction occurs mainly in
canopy gaps, with disturbed areas having increased amounts of pines and early successional
hardwoods such as tulip poplar and sweetgum (Schafale and Weakley, 1990). In the project area,
dominant canopy and subcanopy species include tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), sweetgum
(Liquidambar styracijlua), white oak (,Quercus alba), American beech (Fagusgrandifolia), pignut hickory
(Caryaglabra), shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata), and loblolly pine (P. taeda). Shrubs and vines included
saplings of mature canopy trees as well as red cedar (Juniperus uirginiana), ironwood (Carpinus
carnliniana), groundnut (Apios americana), blackberry (Rubur argutus), greenbriar (Smilax rotundifolia),
wild grape (Vitis rntundifolia.), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). The herbaceous
vegetation consisted primarily of wild ginger (Hexastylis sp. And Asarum sp.), cranefly orchid
(Tipularia discolor), Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), and foam flower (Tiarella sp.).
b. Man-Dominated/Disturbed Community
The man-dominated/disturbed community represents areas that are periodically maintained by
human influences. At the project site these areas include pastureland used for cattle grazing, land
cleared of timber, maintained lawns, and right-of--way along the roads. Dominant vegetation
includes various grasses (Poaceae family) and typical weedy species such as dandelion (Taraxacum
o~icinale), mullein (Verbascum sp.), henbit (Lamium maculatum), and chickweed (Cerastium sp.).
c. Wildlife
The forest and man-dominated communities offer a moderate diversity of foraging, nesting, and
cover habitat for many species of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Species that may be
associated with these types of communities are described below. An asterisk (*) indicates the species
that were directly observed or for which evidence was noted during field reconnaissance.
Reptile species associated with the project area may include snakes such as the rough green snake
(Opheodrys aestivus), eastern milk snake (L.ampmpeltis triangulum triangulum), and mole kingsnake (L
calligaster rhombomaculata) which inhabit fields, woodlands, river bottoms, and stream edges of the
Piedmont and lower mountains in North Carolina. Rough green snakes forage on spiders, moth and
butterfly larvae, crickets, and grasshoppers and will often forage among vines or shrubs along stream
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 9

r
banks. The eastern milk snake forages for rodents in fields and woodlands and will frequently enter
barns in search of food. The mole kingsnake will eat lizards, rodents, and turtle eggs and is
considered an accomplished burrower in thickets, woodlands, and cultivated fields. No reptiles were
observed during the site visit.
Many bird species may inhabit or migrate through the project area. Inhabitants may include red-
bellied woodpecker* (Melaner~es carolinus), hairy woodpecker (Picoides villosus), downy woodpecker (P.
pubescens), blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata), Carolina chickadee (Pares carolinensis), tufted titmouse (P. bicolor),
white-breasted nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis), American robin (Turdus migratorius), cardinal* (Cardinalis
cardinalis), mockingbird (Mimuspolyglottos), house finch (Carpodacus mexicanus), Carolina wren
(Thryothorus ludovicianus), dark-eyed junco (Junco hyemalis), American goldfinch (Carduelis tristi.s), and
brown-headed cowbird (Molothrzts ater). Predatory or scavenger species may include red-tailed hawk*
(Buteo jamaicensis), eastern screech owl (Otus asio), barred owl (Strix varia), and turkey vulture*
(Cathartes aura).
A variety of mammals adapted to disturbed and man-dominated areas are expected to inhabit the
project area and surrounding landscape. Virginia. opossum* (bide phis virginiana), woodchuck
(Marmota monax), gray squirrel* (Sciurcrs carnlinensis), eastern harvest mouse (Keithrodontomys humulis),
raccoon* (Procyon lotor), eastern spotted skunk (Spilogale putorius), and white-tailed deer* (Odocoileus
virginianus) are species mostly likely to be found. In addition, bats such as the little brown myotis
(Myotis lucifugus), Eastern red (L.asiurus borealis), and big brown bat (Eptesicus fusczrs) may also be
present in the project study area.
d. Anticipated Impacts to Terrestrial Communities
Potential impacts to plant communities are based on the approximate area of each plant community

2. ,Aquatic Communities
Sandy Branch is a perennial stream that flows in a southeasterly direction towards Bear Creek. Two
tributaries to Sandy Branch cross the project study area; one is an intermittent stream located south
of the bridge and the other is an intermittent stream located in the northwest quadrant of the project
site. Based on the observed fluvial geomorphological conditions and the water quality at the time of
the field visit, aquatic habitats in the Sandy Branch drainage area are expected to be moderately
stable. Sandy Branch flows over a large bedrock and boulder outcrop upstream of the bridge, which
is considered a special aquatic habitat. According to USACE regulatory guidance, any riffle/pool
sequence or bedrock formation in a stream is considered a special aquatic habitat. Several deep
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 10

pools and runs.were observed within the study area. A visual survey of the stream found several
larvae of macroinvertebrate species that included caddisflies (Tricoptera) and mayflies
(Ephemeroptera).
The amphibian population in the study area may include salamanders and frogs. A small wetland
area near the southwest side of the bridge may provide habitat for egg deposition by salamanders
and frogs after spring mating seasons. Salamanders forage on insects, both aquatic and terrestrial,
crustaceans, worms, and other organisms in forest floodplains and vernal pools. Salamanders can be
found in a variety of habitats, although most are associated with small streams and seepages. They
can also be found along streams where stones, large branches and other wood debris offer shelter
for both the salamander and their food. They are active mostly at night, but can be found by
overturning logs and stones in wet areas along the stream banks. Spring peepers (Hyla crucifer) and
pickerel frogs (Rana palurtri.r) may also be present. Spring peepers mainly inhabit woodlands, while
pickerel frogs are found along shaded streams and wet areas. No amphibian species were observed
during the site visit, which can be attributed to the fact that the site reconnaissance was conducted
during the winter season.
a. Anticipated Impacts to Aquatic Communities
Aquatic organisms are very sensitive to the discharges and inputs resulting from construction
activities. Appropriate measures will be taken to avoid spillage and control runoff. Such measures
will include an erosion and sedimentation control plan, provisions for waste materials and storage,
stormwater management measures, and appropriate road maintenance measures. NCDOT's Bert
Management Practicer for Protection of Surface lYlaterr (BMPs - PSW) and Sedimentation Control guidelines
will be strictly enforced during the construction stages of the project. Long-term impacts to water
resources may include permanent changes to the stream banks and temperature increases caused by
the removal of stream-side vegetation.
The removal of stream-side vegetation and placement of fill material during construction contributes
to erosion and possible sedimentation. Quick revegetation of these areas reduces impacts by
supporting the underlying soils. Erosion and sedimentation may carry soils, toxic compounds, trash,
and other materials into the aquatic communities at the construction site. As a result, sand bars may
be formed both at the site and downstream.
Impacts usually associated with in-stream construction include increased channelization and
scouring of the streambed. In-stream construction alters the substrate and impacts adjacent stream-
side vegetation. Such disturbances within the substrate lead to increased siltation, which can clog the
gills and feeding mechanisms of benthic organisms, fish, and amphibian species.
D. Special Topics
1. Waters of the United States: Jurisdictional Issues
Surface waters and wetlands within the project area are subject to jurisdictional consideration under
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) as "Waters of the United States." At the Federal Level
the USACE has the responsibility for implementation, permitting, and enforcement of the provision
of the CWA. The USACE regulatory program is defined in 33 CFR 320-330. At the state level
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 11

,,
NCDWQ has the responsibility for implementation, permitting, and enforcement of the provisions
of the CWA.
Jurisdictional surface waters include perennial and intermittent streams and certain impoundments.
Sandy Branch occurs as a perennial surface water in the study area. Stream rating forms are included
in the Appendix.
One wetland was identified and delineated during the field survey and is shown on Figure 4C as
Wetland A. Wetland boundaries were verified during a jurisdictional determination field meeting
with the USACE on April 27, 2004. Wetland delineation forms are included in the Appendix.
2. Permits
In accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), a permit is required from
the USACE for projects of this type for the discharge of dredged or fill material into Waters of the
US. The USACE issues two types of permits for these activities. A general permit may be issued on
a nationwide or regional basis for a category or categories of activities when: those activities are
substantially similar in nature and cause only minimal individual or cumulative environmental
impacts, or when the general permit would result in avoiding unnecessary duplication or regulatory
control exercised by another federal, state or local agency provided that the environmental
consequences of the action are individually and cumulatively minimal. If a general permit is not
appropriate for a particular activity, then an individual permit must be utilized. Individual permits
are authorized on a case-by-case evaluation of a specific project involving the proposed discharges.
It is anticipated that this project will fall under Nationwide Permit 23 (NW 23). The USACE issues
NW 23 permits for activities that are categorically excluded from environmental documentation
because it is included within a category of actions that do not have a significant effect on the
environment. Regional conditions also require compliance with General Condition 13 concerning
notification and coordination with the USACE for permit applications for projects with greater than
150 total linear feet of impacts.
This project might also need Nationwide Permit 33 (NW 33). The USACE issues NW 33 when
construction activities necessitate the use of temporary structures such as cofferdams, placement of
access fill material, or dewatering of the construction site. In addition to the requirements for NWP
23, any work below the ordinary high water mark must be permanently stabilized at the earliest
practicable date and a restoration plan of reasonable measures to avoid and minimise adverse effects
to aquatic resources must be submitted.
A Section 401 General Water Quality Certification is necessary for projects that require Section 404
permits. The state has General Certifications which will match the permit type authorized by the
USACE. The NCDWQ must issue the 401 Certification before the USACE will issue the 404
Permit. Compensatory mitigation may be required when more than 150 linear feet of stream and/or
more than one acre of wetland impacts occur. Written concurrence from the NCDWQ is not
required.
Bridge No. 20 steel and timber components will be removed without being dropped into Waters of
the US. However, there is potential for components of the concrete deck and piles to create a
maximum temporary fill of approximately 46 cubic yards. The bridge demolition activities
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 12

~ t
associated with this replacement will strictly follow NCDOT's Bert Management Practicer for Construction
and Maintenance Activities. All methods of demolition will be considered and implemented where
practical, other than dropping the concrete in the water.
3. Mitigation
Mitigation of wetland impacts has been defined by the Council on Environmental Quality to include
avoidance, minimisation, and compensation. These activities must be considered in sequential order.
Avoidance examines all appropriate and practicable possibilities of averting impacts to Waters of the
US. It is not feasible for this roadway to completely avoid Waters of the US because it traverses
Sandy Branch.
Minimisation includes the examination of appropriate and practicable steps to reduce adverse
impacts to Waters of the US. The proposed structure is a single span and no bents will be located in
the branch.
Compensatory mitigation includes restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation of wetland
and stream functions and values that are lost when these systems are converted to other uses. The
USACE usually requires compensatory mitigation for activities authorized under Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act when unavoidable impacts total more than 0.10 acre of wetlands or 150 linear feet
of perennial or intermittent streams. The NCDWQ may require compensatory mitigation for
activities authorized under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act fox unavoidable impacts to more
than 1.0 acre of wetlands or more than 150 linear feet of perennial or intermittent streams.
Compensatory wetland and stream mitigation is not anticipated for the preferred Alternative C.
E. Rare and Protected Species
Some populations of plants and animals are declining either as a result of natural forces or their
difficulty competing with humans for resources. Rare and protected species listed for Chatham
County, and any likely impacts to these species as a result of the proposed project construction, are
discussed in the following sections.
1. Federally Protected Species
Plants and animals with a federal classification of Endangered (E), Threatened ('1~, Proposed
Endangered (PE), and Proposed Threatened (P'I) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and
Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended.
The USFWS lists four species under Federal protection for Chatham County as of April 27, 2006.
These species are listed in Table 3.

Natural Heritage Program maps of element occurrences were reviewed on September 29, 2006 to
determine if any protected species have been identified near the project area. This map review
confirmed that no species identified as Endangered or Threatened by the USFWS have been
identified within a one mile radius of the project area.
Red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis)
Federal Status: Endangered
Date Listed: October 13, 1990
This bird is a small, 7 to 8-inch tall woodpecker with a black and white barred back and a
conspicuous large white cheek surrounded by a black cap, nape, and throat. Males have a very small
red mark at the upper edge of the white cheek and just behind the eye. The red-cockaded
woodpecker (RCW) is found in open pine forests in the southeastern United States. The RCW uses
open old growth stands of southern pines, particularly longleaf pine, for foraging and nesting
habitat. A forested stand optimally should contain at least 50 percent pine and lack a thick
understory. The RCW is unique among woodpeckers because it nests almost exclusively in living
pine trees. These birds excavate nests in pines greater than 60 years old that are contiguous with
open, pine dominated, foraging habitat. The foraging range of the RCW may extend 500 acres and
must be contiguous with suitable nesting sites.
Living pines infected with red-heart disease (Formes pinz) are often selected for cavity excavation
because the inner heartwood is usually weakened. Cavities are located from 12 to 100 feet above
ground level and below live branches. These trees can be identified by "candles," a large
encrustation of n,nning sap that surrounds the tree. Colonies consist of one to many of these
candle trees. The RCW lays its eggs in April, May, and June; the eggs hatch approximately 10 to 12
days later.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Suitable habitat for RCW does not exist within the project area. No pine-dominated stands are
present in the project vicinity. The pines that are present in the project area are a minor component
of the mixed hardwood stands. Since appropriate habitat does not exist and there are no known
populations in the project vicinity, it is reasonable to conclude the proposed project will have no
effect on the red-cockaded woodpecker.
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 14

Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
Federal Status: Threatened (Proposed for Delisting)
Date Listed: March 11, 1967
The bald eagle is a very large bird of prey that ranges in size from 32 to 43 inches tall and has a
wingspan of more than six feet. Adult body plumage is dark brown to chocolate-brown with a white
head and tail, while immature birds are brown and irregularly marked with white until their fourth
year. They are primarily associated with large bodies of water where food is plentiful. Eagle nests
are found in close proximity to large, open expanses of water (usually within one-half mile) with a
clear flight path to the water. Nests are made in the largest living tree within the area, with an open
view of the surrounding land. Human disturbance can cause nest abandonment. Nests can be as
large as six feet across and are made of sticks and vegetation. These platform nests may be used by
the same breeding pair for many years. Breeding begins in December or January and the young
remain in the nest at least 10 weeks after hatching. Bald eagles eat mostly fish robbed from ospreys
or picked up dead along shorelines. They may also capture small mammals such as rabbits, some
birds, wounded ducks, and carrion. Bald eagles are ayear-round and transient species in North
Carolina.
As of July 6, 1999, the bald eagle is under consideration by the USFWS for a proposed de-listing of
the threatened status. However, this raptor will still be protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Populations will continue to be monitored for
at least another five years under provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Biological Conclusion:
No Effect
Suitable nesting and foraging habitat for bald eagles does not exist in the study area. The only
surface waters within the project vicinity are streams and small farm ponds. No large, open bodies
of water are present within the project vicinity. Based on the lack of appropriate habitat and no
known populations occurring within the project vicinity, it is reasonable to conclude that the
proposed project will have no effect on the bald eagle.
Cape Fear shiner (Notropis meldstocholas)
Federal Status: Endangered
Date Listed: September 25, 1987
The Cape Fear shiner is a small fish, usually less than two inches long. The top and sides of the
body are a pale silvery yellow to golden color and scales are outlined in black. A black stripe runs
along the sides and the fins are yellowish and somewhat pointed. The upper lip is black, and the
lower lip bears a thin black bar along its margin. This species can be distinguished from similar
species by the black upper and lower lips and nearly horizontal position of the mouth. During the
spring spawning season, the golden body color is intensified in males while females take on a silvery
cast. Males also develop numerous small tubercles on the upper body from the snout to the dorsal
fin during the spawning season. Spawning occurs around mid-May and a secondary spawning may
occur during the late summer (USFWS, 1991).
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 15

The Cape Fear shiner is generally associated with gravel, cobble, and boulder substrates and has
been observed to inhabit slow pools, riffles, and slow runs. Juveniles are often found in slow runs
among large rock outcrops in midstream, and in flooded side channels and pools. During winter
months, they may migrate into smaller tributary streams. The most obvious features of their
preferred habitat are large islands and bars of water willow (Jurticia americana). This shiner species is
typically associated with schools of other related species, but it is never the numerically dominant
species. Known populations are located around the junction of the Rocky River and Deep River in
Chatham and Lee Counties where the fish inhabits the Deep River from the upstream limits of the
backwaters of Locksville Dam upstream to the Rocky River; then upstream from the Rocky River to
Bear Creek, and upstream from Bear Creek to the bridge at SR 2156 (Woody Dam Road) (USFWS,
1991).
Biological Conclusion:
No Effect
Appropriate habitat for Cape Fear Shiner is not available in Sandy Branch at the project site. A
telephone conversation with the USFWS on February 2, 2004, confirmed that no known
populations of this species have been collected from Sandy Branch. A survey was conducted on
October 26, 2006, and no suitable habitat was found. Based on the lack of appropriate habitat and
no known populations occurring within the project vicinity, it is reasonable to conclude that the
proposed project will have no effect on the Cape Fear Shiner.
Harperella (Ptilimnium nodosum)
Federal Status: Endangered
Date Listed: September 28, 1988
Harperella is an herbaceous species 6 to 36 inches tall with leaves that are reduced to hollow, quill-
like structures. Small white flowers occur in umbels similar to those of Queen Anne's lace (Daucur
carota). These flowers have five regular parts and are bisexual or unisexual, with each umbel
containing both perfect and male florets. Riverine populations flower beginning in late June or July
and continue until frost. Pollination biology of the species has not been studied, but seed set is
apparently profuse since high densities and number of individual plants can occur each year in
localized areas. The riverine form is a perennial or possibly biennial species that can flower in both
years (USFWS, 1990).
Harperella is native to seasonally flooded rocky streams in the southeast and typically occurs in two
habitat types: palustrine and riverine. Palustrine habitats include edges of intermittent pineland
ponds in the coastal plain. Riverine habitats include either rocky or gravel shoals and margins of
clear, swift-flowing stream sections. Moisture requirements limit this plant to a narrow band of
water that is neither too shallow nor too deep for it to complete its life cycle. Changes in hydrologic
regime of streams such as upstream impoundments, declining water quality, and pond drainage are
important threats to this plant (USFWS, 1990).
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Appropriate habitat is available for harperella on Sandy Branch upstream of Bridge No. 20 at the
project site. The USFWS has identified the period between July and October as the optimum survey
time for harperella. A plant-by-plant pedestrian survey was conducted on October 8, 2004 on
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 16

approximately 300 feet of Sandy Branch upstream of the bridge site. No populations of harperella
were found during 4 man-hours of searching the site. No evidence of harperella exists at the project
study area and the NHP has no record of known populations within aone-mile radius of the bridge
site. Guidelines recently established by the NCDOT and USFWS state that a "No Effect"
biological conclusion determination for plants is appropriate when field surveys of the appropriate
habitat find no specimens of a listed species and NCNHP maps show no populations are located
within aone-mile radius of the site.
2. Federal Species of Concern and State Listed Species
Federal Species of Concern (FSC) are not legally protected under the Endangered Species Act and
are not subject to any of its provisions, including Section 7, until they are formally proposed or listed
as Threatened or Endangered. Species designated as FSC are defined as taxa which may or may not
be listed in the future. These species were formerly Candidate 2(C2) species or species under
consideration for listing for which there is insufficient information to support listing. FSC species
per the August 2006 NCNHP database, their state status, and the existence of suitable habitat within
the study area are shown in Table 4.

VI. CULTURAL RESOURCES
A. Compliance Guidelines
This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of
1966, as amended, and implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations
for compliance with Section 106, codified at 36 CFR Part 800. Section 106 requires federal agencies
to take into account the effect of their undertakings (federally funded, licensed, or permitted) on
properties listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, and to afford the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation a reasonable opportunity to comment on such
undertakings.
B. Historic Architecture
A field survey of the Area of Potential Effects (APE) was conducted on July 28, 2003. All structures
within the APE were photographed, and later reviewed by NCDOT architectural historians and staff
at the State Historic Preservation Office (HPO). In a concurrence form dated October 14, 2003,
NCDOT, HPO, and FHWA concurred that there are no historic architectural resources either listed
in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places within the APE. A copy of the
concurrence form is included in the Appendix.
C. Archaeology
The SHPO, in a memorandum dated March 4, 2004, recommended that "no archaeological
investigation be conducted in connection with this project." A copy of the SHPO memorandum is
included in the Appendix.
VII. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The project is expected to have an overall positive impact. Replacement of a structurally deficient
and functionally obsolete bridge will result in safer traffic operations.
The project is a Federal "Categorical Exclusion" due to its limited scope and lack of substantial
environmental consequences.
The bridge replacement will not have an adverse effect on the quality of the human or natural
environment with the use of current NCDOT standards and specifications.
The project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulation. No substantial
change in land use is expected to result from construction of the project.
No adverse impact on families or communities is anticipated. Right-of--way acquisition will be
limited. No relocations of residents or businesses are expected with implementation of the
preferred alternative.
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 18

In compliance with Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in
Minority Populations and Low Income Populations) a review was conducted to determine whether
minority or low-income populations were receiving disproportionately high and adverse human
health or environmental impacts as a result of this project. The investigation determined the project
would not disproportionately impact any minority or low-income populations.
No adverse effect on public facilities or services is anticipated. The project is not expected to
adversely affect social, economic, or religious opportunities in the area.
There are no publicly owned recreational facilities, or wildlife and waterfowl refuges of national,
state, or local significance in the vicinity of the project.
The Farmland Protection Policy Act requires all federal agencies or their representatives to consider
the potential impacts to prime and important farmland soils by all land acquisition and construction
projects. Prime and important farmland soils are defined by the Natural Resources Conservation
Service (MRCS). (Have not received form back)
The project is located in Chatham County, which has been determined to be in compliance with the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Therefore, 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93 are not applicable,
because the proposed project is located in an attainment area. This project is not anticipated to
create any adverse effects on the air quality of this attainment area.
This project is an air quality "neutral" project, so it is not required to be included in the regional
emission analysis (if applicable) and a project level CO analysis is not required.
Traffic volumes will not increase or decrease because of this project. There are no receptors located
in the immediate project area. The project's impact on noise and air quality will not be substantial.
Noise levels could increase during construction but will be temporary. If vegetation is disposed of
by burning, all burning shall be done in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations of the
North Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) for air quality in compliance with 15 NCAC
2D.0520. This evaluation completes the assessment requirements for highway traffic noise (23 CFR
Part 772) and for air quality (1990 CAAA and NEPA) and no additional reports are required.
An examination of records at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources, Division of Water Quality, Groundwater Section and the North Carolina Division of
Solid Waste Management revealed no hazardous waste sites in the project area. A field
reconnaissance survey was performed and no underground storage tank (UST) sites were found
within the project area. If any unregulated USTs or any potential source of contamination is
discovered during right-of--way initial contacts with impacted property owners, then an assessment
will be conducted to determine the extent of any contamination at that time.
The drainage area of Sandy Branch at the proposed crossings is 3.7 square miles. Chatham County
is currently participating in the National Flood Insurance Program. This crossing of Sandy Branch
is located in a FEMA Approximate Flood Hazard Zone, Zone A (Figure 5). This reach of stream is
not in a detailed flood study. Attached is a Flood Insurance Rate Map for Chatham County. The
approximate 100-year base flood appears to overtop the existing roadway. The proposed structure
T.I.P. No. B-4063
Page 19

will need to match the performance of the existing structure; therefore, no increase in the 100-year
water surface will result in the floodplain. This stream is not included on the 303(D) list for
impaired streams.
On the basis of the above discussion, it is concluded that no substantial adverse environmental
effects will result from implementation of the project.
VIII. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
Efforts were undertaken early in the planning process to contact local officials and various agencies
to involve them in the project development.
A citizen's informational meeting was held on October 11, 2004 at the Chatham Central High
School cafeteria to review Alternatives A, B, C, and D. Five citizens attended the workshop and no
comment sheets were received at the workshop. Citizens requested that the sharp southern
approach curve to Bridge No. 20 and sight distance at their driveways be improved.
IX. AGENCY COMMENTS
All agency comments have been addressed within the document. Letters received from the agencies
are included in the appendix.

This letter is in response to your request for comments from the U.S. Fish and Vildlife Service
(Service) on the potential environmental impacts of the proposed replacement of the following
ten bridges:
• ~~ B-4002, Alamance Couuty,.Bridge No. 96 on SR 2116 over Meadow Creek
• ~ B-4063, Chatham County, Bridge No. 20 on NC 902 over Sandy Branch
• B-4109, Durham County, Bridge No. 120 on SR 1303 over Mud Creek
• 8-4216, Orange County, Bridge No. 66 on SR 1002 over Strouds Creek
• B-4300, Wake County, Bridge No. 29 on SR 1007 over Clarks Creek
• B-4301, Wake County, Bridge No. 229 on SR 1007 over Poplar Creek
• B-4302, Wake County, Bridge No. 336 on SR 1301 over Terrible Creek
• B-4303, Wake County, Bridge No. 102 on SR 1844 over Lower Bartons Creek
• B-4304, Wake County, Bridge No. 143 on SR 2217 over Beaver Dam Creek
• B-4592, Orange County, Bridge No. 64 on SR 1561 over Eno River
These comments provide scoping information in accordance with provisions of the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661-667d) and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act
(ESA) of 1973, as amended (I6 U.S.C. 1531-1543).
For bridge replacement projects, the Service recommends the following general conservation
measures to avoid or minimize environmental impacts to fish and wildlife resources:
1. Wetland, forest and designated riparian buffer impacts should be avoided and minimized
to the maximum extent practical; _. .
2. If unavoidable wetland impacts are proposed, every effort should be made to identify
compensatory mitigation sites in advance. Project planning should include a detailed
compensatory mitigation plan for offsetting unavoidable wetland impacts. Opportunities

to protect mitigation areas in perpetuity via conservation easements, land trusts or by
other means should be explored at the .outset;
Off-site detours should be used rather than construction of temporary, on-site bridges.
For projects requiring an on-site detour in wetlands or open water, such detours should be
aligned along the side of the existing structure which has the least andlor least quality of
fish and wildlife habitat. At the completion of construction, the detour area should be
entirely removed and the impacted azeas be planted with appropriate vegetation, including
trees if necessary;
4. Wherever appropriate, construction in sensitive azeas should.occur outside fish spawning
and migratory bird nesting seasons. In waterways that may serve as travel corridors for
fish, in-water work should be avoided during moratorium periods associated with
nugration, spawnuig and sensitive pre-adult life stages. The general moratorium period
for anadromous fish is February 15 -June 30;
5. ~ New bridges should be long enough to allow for sufficient u~ildlife passage along sheam
corridors; .
Best Management Practices (BMP) for Protection of Surface Waters should be
implemented;
Bridge designs. should include provisions for roadbed and deck drainage to flow through a
vegetated buffer prior to reaching the affected stream. This buffer should be large enough
to alleviate any potential effects from run-off of storm water and pollutants;
The bridge designs should not alter the natural streazn and stream-bank morphology or
impede fish passage. To the extent possible, piers and bents should be placed outside the
bank-full width of the stream;
9. Bridges and approaches should be designed to avoid any fill that will result in damming
or constriction of the channel or flood plain. If spanning the flood plain is not feasible,
culverts should be installed in the flood plain portion of the approach to restore some of
the hydrological functions of the flood plain and reduce high velocities of flood waters
within the affected area.
A list of federally protected species for each county in North Carolina can be found at h ://nc-
es.fws.gov/es/countyfr.html . Additional information about the habitats in which each species is
often found can also be found at http://endan~~red.fws.gov . Please note, the use of the North
Carolina Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if
suitable habitat occurs neaz the project site. If suitable habitat exists in the project area, we
recommend that biological surveys for the listed species be conducted and submitted to us for
review. All survey documentation must include survey methodologies and results.
VVe reserve the right to review any federal permits that maybe required for these projects, at the
public notice stage. Therefore, it is important that resource agency coordination occur early in

the planning process in order to resolve any conflicts that may arise and minimize delays in
project implementation. In addition to the above guidance, we recommend that the
environmental documentation for these projects include the following in sufficient detail to
facilitate a thorough review of the action:
1. A clearly defined and detailed purpose aild need for the proposed project;
2. A description of the proposed action with an analysis of all alternatives being considered,
including the "no action" alternative;
3. A description of the fish and wildlife resources, and their habitats, uTithin the project
impact area that may be directly or indirectly affected;
4. The extent and acreage of waters of the U.S., including wetlands, that are to be impacted
by filling, dredging, clearing, ditching, or draining. Acres of wetland impact should be
differentiated by habitat type based on the wetland classification scheme of the National
Wetlands Inventory (NWI). Wetland boundaries should be determined by using the 1987
Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and verified by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers;
S. The anticipated environmental impacts, both temporary and permanent, that would be
likely to occur as a direct result of the proposed project. The assessment should also
include the extent to which the proposed project would result in secondary impacts to
. natural resources, and how this and sinular projects contribute to cumulative adverse
effects;
6. Design features and construction techniques which would be employed to avoid or
minimize the fragmentation or direct loss of wildlife habitat and waters of the US;
7. If unavoidable ~a~etland impacts are proposed, project planning should include a detailed
compensatory mitigation plan for offsetting the unavoidable impacts.
The SenJice appreciates the opportunity to comment on these projects. Please continue to advise
us during the progression of the planning process, including your official determination of the
impacts of this project. If you have any questions regarding our response, please contact Mr.
Gary Jordan at {919) 855-4520, ext. 32.

Instructions for completion of tivorlisheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an exp}anation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream maybe divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total wore assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate fotm used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a scare of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Bcgin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.

Dear Ms. Ellerby:
My concern on the Bridge Replacement Project B-4063 is from an emergency response
view only.
If the existing bridge were removed before the new one is in place, there would be a
delay in responses to the homes just east of the bridge. If this is the only way that the
bridge must be replaced, we will make every effort to keep the delay to a minimum.
Thank you for allowing us to express our concerns in this matter.
Sincerely,
~~

4. B-4216, Orange County, Bridge No. 66 over Strouds Creek on SR 1002. We reconunend
replacing this bridge with a bridge. Due to the close proxinuty of the Eno River we
request conducting a survey for the folloti~~ing state endangered and federal species of
concern mussels: Yellow lampmussel and Atlantic pigtoe. Also, a significant fishery for
sunfish exists at this site, therefore we request an in-water work moratorium for sunfish
from April 1 to June 30. Standard recommendations apply.
5. B-4300, Wake County, Bridge No. 29 over Clarks Creek on SR 1007. We recommend
replacing this bridge with a bridge. NCDOT should follow all. stream crossing guidelines
for anadromous fish passage, including an in-water work moratorium from February 15
to June 30. Standard recommendations apply.
6. B-4301, Wake County, Bridge I~TO.229 over Poplar Creek on SR 1007. We recommend
replacing this bridge with a bridge. NCDOT should follow all stream crossing guidelines
for anadromous fish passage, including an in-water work moratorium from February 15

8. B-4303, Wake County, Bridge No. 102 over Lower Bartons Creek on SR 1844. Vde
recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge. Standard recommendations apply.
9. B-4304, Wake County, Bridge No. 143 over Beaver Dam Creek on SR 2217. Vise
recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge. Standard recommendations apply.
10. B-4592, Orange County, Bridge No. 64 over the Eno River on SR 1561. We recommend
replacing this bridge with a bridge. We request conducting a survey for the following
state endangered and federal species of concern mussels: Yellow lampmussel and
Atlantic pigtoe. Also, a significant fishery for sunfish exists at this site, therefore we
request an in-water work moratorium for sunfish from April 1 to June 30. Standard
recommendations apply.
NCDOT should routinely minimize adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources in the
vicinity of bridge replacements. Restoring previously disturbed floodplain benches should
narrow and deepen streams previously widened and shallowed during initial bridge installation.
NCDOT should install and maintain sedimentation control measures throughout the life of the
project and prevent wet concrete from contacting water in or entering into these streams.
Replacement of bridges with spanning structures of some type, as opposed to pipe or box
culverts, is recommended in most cases. Spanning structures allow wildlife passage along
streambank and reduce habitat fragmentation.
If you need further assistance or information on NC~~VRC concerns regarding bridge
replacements, please contact me at [phone]. Thank you for the opportunity to review and
comment on these projects.

Bridge A~Iemo
February 27, 2004
The cuh~ert must be designed to allow for aquatic life and fish passage. Generally, the
culvert or pipe invert should be buried at least 1 foot below the natural streambed
(measured from the natural thalweg depth). If multiple barrels are required, barrels
other than the base flow barrel(s) should be placed on or near stream banl:full or
floodplain bench elevation (similar to Lyonsfield design). These should be
reconnected to floodplain benches as appropriate. This may be accomplished by
utilizing sills on the upstream and downstream ends to restrict or divert flow to the
base flow barrel(s). Silled barrels should be filled with sediment so as not to cause
noxious or mosquito breeding conditions. Sufficient water depth should be provided
in the base flow barrel(s) during low flows to accommodate fish movement. If
culverts are longer than 40-50 linear feet, alternating or notched baffles should be
installed in a manner that mimics existing stream pattern. This should enhance
aquatic life passage: 1) by depositing sediments in the barrel, 2) by maintaining
channel depth and flow regimes, and 3) by providing resting places for fish and other
aquatic organisms. in essence, base flow barrel(s) should provide a continuum of
water depth and channel width without substantial modifications of velocity.
2. If multiple pipes or cells are used, at least one pipe or box should be designed to
remain dry during normal~flows to allow for wildlife passage.
3. Culverts or pipes should be situated along the existing channel alignment whenever
possible to avoid channel realignment. Wideriing the stream channel must be avoided.
Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases
water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and
disrupts aquatic life passage.
4. Riprap should not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed
in a manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures
should be professionally designed, sized, and installed.
In most cases, «~e prefer the replacement of the existing structure at the same location
with road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour should be designed and
located to avoid wetland impacts, minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing
stream banks. If the structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure should be removed
and the approach fills removed from the 100-year floodplain. Approach fills should be removed
do~~ln to the natural ground elevation. The area should be stabilized with grass and planted with
native tree species. If the area reclaimed was previously wetlands, NCDOT should restore the
area to wetlands. If successful, the site may be utilized as nutigation for the subject project or
other projects in the watershed.
Project specific conunents:
1. B-4002, Alamance County, Bridge No. 96 over Meadow Creek on SR 2116. We
recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge. Standard recommendations apply.
2. B-4063, Chatham County, Bridge No. 20 over Sandy Branch on NC 902. We
recommend replacing this bridge with a bridge. Standard recormendations apply.
3. B-4109, Durham County, Bridge No. 120 over Mud Creek on SR 1303. We recommend
replacing this bridge with a bridge. Standard recommendations apply.

Bridge Memo 2 February 27, 2004
5. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, they should be removed back to
original ground elevations immediately upon the completion of the project. Disturbed
areas should be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and native tree species should
be planted with a spacing of not more than 10'x10'. If possible, when using temporary
structures the area should be cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain
saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and
root mat intact, allows the area to revegetate naturally and minimizes disturbed soil..
6. A clear bank (riprap free) area of at least 10 feet should remain on each side of the
steam underneath the bridge.
7. In trout waters, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission reviews all U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers nationwide and general `404' permits. We have the option of
requesting additional measures to protect trout and trout habitat and we can
reconunend that the project require an individual `404' permit.
8. In streams that contain threatened or endangered species, NCDOT biologist Mr. Hal
Bain should be notified. Special measures to protect these sensitive species may be
required. NCDOT should also contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for
infornlation on requirements of the Endangered Species Act as it relates to the project.
9. In streams that are used by anadromous fish, the NCDOT official policy entitled
"Stream Crossing Guidelines for Anadromous Fish Passage (May 12, 1997)" should
be followed.
10. In areas with significant fisheries for sunfish, seasonal exclusions may also be
recommended.
11. Sedimentation and erosion control measures sufficient to protect aquatic resources
must be implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities. Structures should be
maintained regularly, especially following rainfall events.
12. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil
within 15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control.
13. All. work in or adjacent to stream waters should be conducted in a dry work area.
Sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, or other diversion structures should be used
where possible to prevent excavation in flowing water.
14. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in stream channels in
order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other
pollutants into streams.
15. Only clean, sediment-free rock should be used as temporary fill (causeways), and
should be removed without excessive disturbance of the natural stream bottom when
construction is completed.
16. During subsurface investigations, equipment should be inspected daily and
maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels, lubricants,
hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.

used:

Biologists with the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission (I~TCWRC) have revie«=ed the

comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the I~Tational Environmental Policy Act
(42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667d).
Our standard recommendations for bridge replacement projects of this scope are as
follows:
1. We generally prefer spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require
work within the stream and do not require stream channel realignment. The horizontal
and vertical clearances provided by bridges allows for human and wildlife passage
beneath the structure, does not block fish passage, and does not block navigation by
canoeists and boaters.
2. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the stream.
3. Live concrete should not be allowed to contact the water in or entering into the stream.
4. If possible, bridge supports (bents) should not be placed in the stream.

B-4303, ~~,~ake County, Bridge No. 102 over Lower Bartons Creek on SR 1844 (Mt. Vernon
Church Road). The Lower Barton Creek Ultramafic Slopes natural area lies on the south side of
the road; this is an unprotected site of Local significance. Just downstream of the bridge is the
following -
Carolina ladle crayfish (Cambarus davidi), State Significantly Rare
B-4304, Wake County, Bridge No. 143 over Beaver Dam Creek on SR 2217 (Old Milburnie
Road). There is a vague, historic record of the following, just downstream -
veined skullcap (Scutellaria nervosa), State Significantly Rare
B-4592, Orange County, Bridge No. 64 over the Eno River on SR 1561 (Lawrence Road). See
comments for project B-421 b. This site is a few miles above Eno River State Park. Also, a tract
just upstream of the bridge has been recently acquired, or is in the process of being acquired. In
addition, the section of the Eno River from Hillsborough to the confluence with the Neuse River
is a Nationally significant aquatic habitat, for many additional rare species than those listed
above.
Our program recommends that NC DOT enact strong sedimentation controls to ensure that
populations of these rare species, and particularly the water quality of the Eno River, not be
impacted during the bridge replacements. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not
be substituted for actual field surveys, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for
rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at
