Subject: Application for Section 404 Nationwide Permits 13 and 33, and Section 401
Water Quality Certification for the Proposed Replacement of Bridge 70 on US
52 over Rocky River in Anson and Stanly Counties, Division 10, TIP No. B-4407,
Debit $570 from WBS 38356.1.2.

Dear Madam:

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace bridge number 70 on US
52 over Rocky River with a new bridge just east of the existing alignment. Traffic will utilize the existing
bridge during construction.

As a result of replacing the existing bridge, there will be 10 linear feet of stream bank stabilization at the
outlet of a new ditch, and 0.34 acre of temporary stream impacts from causeways and temporary pipes
needed for removal of the existing bridge and construction of the new one.

Please see enclosed copies of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN), which includes the following
attachments: pre-filing notification documentation, bat survey memo, mussel survey memo, Catawba
response letter, Stormwater Management Plan, and Permit Drawings. A Minimum Criteria Determination
Checklist (MCDC) was completed in May 2018 and distributed shortly thereafter.

This project calls for a letting date of May 18, 2021 and a review date of March 30, 2021.

A copy of this permit application and its distribution list will be posted on the NCDOT Website at:
http://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/Environmental. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please contact Erin Cheely at [e-mail] or [phone].

Sincerely,

Philip S. Harris III, P.E., C.P.M.

The purpose of the proposed project is to replace a deficient (sufficiency rating 49.12 out of 100) and functionally obsolete bridge.
This project is the replacement of Bridge 70 on US 52 over Rocky River. The replacement structure will be a five-span bridge approximately 525 feet long. It will be constructed parallel
to and just east of the existing structure. The intersection of SR 1934 (Riverview Road) and US 52 will be shifted further to the east to tie in the realigned roadway. Traffic will be
detoured on-site using the existing bridge during construction. Standard road building equipment such as trucks, dozers, and cranes will be used.

The 30 linear feet of causeway impacts at sites 2 and 5 overlap with the causeway impacts at site 1 and 4, respectively, resulting in a total of 144
linear feet of overall temporary impacts (0.34 acre).
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
The Sediment and Erosion Control Plan for B-4407 has been designed using Design Standards for Sensitive Watersheds (DSSW). The new bridge
has fewer spans, and therefore fewer bents in the water. Rip Rap pads were used at pipe outlets throughout the project to reduce water velocities into
wetlands and jurisdictional streams.
The existing bridge will be used to detour traffic on-site during construction. NCDOT will adhere to Best Management Practices for Construction and
Maintenance Activities.
Yes No
The NCDOT does not propose mitigation for the temporary and bank stabilization impacts associated with this project. These impacts do not require permanent fill in the stream bed,
therefore, under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, do not constitute Loss of Waters of the U.S., and are not subject to compensatory mitigation.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
Yes No
No buffered resources within project area.

As of 7/17/20, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) list five protected
species for Anson County and two protected species for Stanly County. There is no habitat present within the project area for red-cockaded
woodpecker, Atlantic sturgeon, or shortnose sturgeon (per Fritz Rohde from NOAA, all records of sturgeon in Anson County are limited to the
mainstem of the PeeDee River). Habitat is present for Schweinitz’s sunflower, however surveys of all potential habitat in the project area were
conducted in August 2016 and October 2019, and no individuals of this species were observed.
The bridge was surveyed for potential habitat for northern long-eared bat in July 2019. While roosting crevices were present on the structure, no
evidence of bats was observed.
Habitat is present for Carolina heelsplitter, and while none were found in a 2018 survey, the presence of habitat and other mussel species in the area
result in a biological conclusion of May Affect, Not Likely to Affect.
Documentation of the bat and mussel surveys are attached to this memo.

Project Built-Upon Area (ac.)
B-4407 involves the replacement of the existing bridge 70 on US-52 over Rocky River and 0.65 miles of roadway improvements. The existing typical section is a 2-lane
undivided facility consisting of 12-foot travel lanes. The proposed typical section retains the 2-lane facility with a new alignment to allow the construction of the new bridge while
maintaining the existing. Jurisdictional features including wetlands and a crossing of Rocky River are present within project limits. The proposed roadway improvements will
require ditch realignment and the addition of new drainage systems to convey runoff at the ends of the proposed bridge. Rip Rap pads were used at pipes outlets throughout the
project to reduce water velocities into wetlands and jurisdictional streams. The Sediment and Erosion Control Plan for B-4407 has been designed using Design Standards for
Sensitive Watersheds (DSSW) criteria for jurisdictional streams flowing into the Yadkin-Pee Dee. DSSW designation requires special procedures to be followed for
construction activities within 50' of each designated stream. Post Construction Stormwater Program will be implemented throughout B-4407 to the maximum extent practical.

FRESHWATER MUSSEL SURVEY REPORT

PROJECT: Protected species survey report for the Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmigona
decorata), Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), and Brook Floater (Alasmidonta
varicosa) for the proposed US-52 bridge replacement over Rocky River within the
Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin on the Anson/Stanly county line. WBS: 38356.1.1, TIP No.
B-4407.

REPORT BIOLOGISTS: Joseph D. Alderman and John M. Alderman

The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace Bridge No. 70 over
Rocky River (Stream Index No. 13-17) on the Anson/Stanly county line (Figures 1 and
2).

The Carolina Heelsplitter is federally listed Endangered by the United States Fish &
Wildlife Service (USFWS). The Carolina Heelsplitter exists from the Savannah River
Basin in South Carolina to the Pee Dee River Basin in North Carolina. The USFWS
documents Union County as part of the current Carolina Heelsplitter range.

The Carolina Heelsplitter’s preferred habitats include low to higher gradient, stable
banked streams with relatively silt free substrates. Coarser substrates, including cobble,
boulder, and bedrock, are usually present within an occupied stream reach. The best
populations have been found in higher water quality, well-oxygenated streams. In
general, woodland dominates the landscape. Carolina Heelsplitter records exist in first
order streams up to main channels of large rivers.

The Atlantic Pigtoe is a federal At-Risk Species (USFWS) and is a native Southeast
Atlantic Slope freshwater mussel species. The USFWS may list this species as
endangered or threatened during 2018. The Atlantic Pigtoe has records from the
Altamaha River Basin in Georgia to the James River Basin in Virginia. The USFWS
documents Union County as part of the current Atlantic Pigtoe range.

The Atlantic Pigtoe normally requires clean sand and pea gravel substrates and
circumneutral pH water. The highest densities recorded for this species existed in silt
free, unconsolidated coarse sand and pea gravel within “run” stream reaches. The best
populations have been documented from North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) stream reaches or within streams potentially
suitable for such designations.

The Brook Floater is a federal At-Risk Species (USFWS) and is a native Atlantic Slope
freshwater mussel species. The USFWS may list this species as endangered or threatened
during 2018. The Brook Floater has records from Canada to the Savannah River Basin in
Georgia and South Carolina. The USFWS documents Anson County as part of the current
Brook Floater range.

The Brook Floater normally requires clean sand and pea gravel substrates and
circumneutral pH water. The highest densities recorded for this species existed in silt
free, unconsolidated coarse sand and pea gravel within “run” stream reaches.

Prior to conducting in-stream surveys, reviews of the April 2018 North Carolina Natural
Heritage Program (NCNHP), NC Museum of Natural Sciences, Alderman Environmental
Services, Inc. (AES), Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences (ANSP), and Ohio State
University Museum of Biodiversity databases were conducted to determine if there were
any records of rare mussels within the proposed project study area or receiving waters.
This review indicated that the closest occurrence of the Carolina Heelsplitter
(documented in 2016) is within Goose Creek, a tributary of the Rocky River in Union
County (NCNHP). This occurrence is >44 stream miles upstream from the project site.
Records from 1998 for the Atlantic Pigtoe exist in Goose Creek in Union County, which
is >44 stream miles upstream from the project area (NCNHP). Ohio State University
records for the Brook Floater (listed as A. robusta within their database) from 1968 exist
within the Rocky River >22 stream miles upstream from the project area. Since past field
records for Brook Floater and Carolina Elktoe (A. robusta) have often been confused, we
have lumped all records for these species under Brook Floater for this report.

The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) records numerous
NPDES permits within the Rocky River Subbasin. The closest discharge point is just
downstream from the NC-52 bridge crossing. This discharge is a minor point source for
the Town of Norwood. The lower Rocky River is a Class C stream, and is on the NCDEQ
303(d) list of impaired streams, due to excessive copper and turbidity. The Pee Dee River
is the next major confluence with Rocky River, which is over four stream miles
downstream from the project area. No dams exist within the Rocky River between the
project site and Goose Creek, a known Carolina Heelsplitter and Atlantic Pigtoe stream.

Alderman Environmental Services, Inc. biologists Joseph D. Alderman (USFWS Permit
No. TE28597A-1), John M. Alderman (North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
Permit No. 18-ES00009 and USFWS Permit No. TE065756-3), Logan Williams, and
John Fridell (both designated sub-permittees on John Alderman’s NCWRC permit)
completed a mussel survey at the site on 19 June 2018 within 100+ meters upstream and
400+ meters downstream from the project stream crossing (Figures 1 and 2). Using visual
and tactile searches, 5.5 person-hours were required to complete the survey within this
relatively rural area of Anson and Stanly counties. Stream widths were up to 65 meters,
and bank height was up to six meters. The river was low and slightly turbid. The
surveyed reach canopy was mostly open, and wooded buffers were wide. Silt and sand
were the dominant substrates with clay, gravel, pebble, boulder, organics, and mud
present. Banks were undercut and eroded in places. There was no evidence of beavers in
the surveyed reach.

Four species of freshwater mussels were documented: Eastern Elliptio (Elliptio
complanata) – 6 live, Creeper (Strophitus undulatus) – 1 shell, Carolina Lance (Elliptio
angustata) – 3 live, and Eastern Creekshell (Villosa delumbis) – 1 live, gravid female.

Elimia catenaria, a freshwater snail, was observed. The Asian Clam (Corbicula fluminea)
was present.

Biological Conclusion

The Creeper and Eastern Creekshell are close species associates of the Carolina
Heelsplitter. Since these species are present within the project area and since there
are recent records for the Carolina Heelsplitter within the Rocky River Subbasin,
the biological conclusion is “May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect” the
Carolina Heelsplitter if adequate erosion and sedimentation control methods are
employed during project activities.

Since the most recent Atlantic Pigtoe and Brook Floater records from the Rocky
River Subbasin are 24 years old and Atlantic Pigtoe and Brook Floater habitat in
the project area is limited, the biological conclusion is “No Effect” for these two
species.

4407. The replacement structure will be a five-span (5@105’63”) bridge approximately 525
feet long providing a minimum 32’ clear deck width. The existing structure contains
reinforced concrete deck girders, abutments, and bents. The guardrail is also constructed of
concrete.

The project to replace Bridge No. 70 has been reviewed for effects on the northern long-
eared bat (NLEB). As of May 4, 2015, NLEB is listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) as “Threatened” under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. As of July 17, 2020,
NLEB is listed by USFWS (http://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/cntylist/nc_counties.html)
as “probable/potential” in Stanly County. The NLEB is not listed for Anson County.

According to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) Biotics Database, most
recently updated October 2020, there are no known hibernacula within 25 miles of the
project and no known NLEB roost trees occur within 150 feet of the project area .

NCDOT has also reviewed the USFWS Asheville Field office website
(http://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmls/project_review/NLEB_in_WNC.html) for consistency
with NHP records. This project is located entirely outside of the red highlighted areas (12-
digit HUC) that the USFWS Asheville Field Office has determined to be representative of an
area that may require consultation. The closest 12 digit (030501010502) red HUC is
approximately 109 miles to the northwest (Johns River) in Avery County.

On July 24, 2019, NCDOT biologist assessed Bridge No. 70 for potential NLEB
habitat. Suitable roosting crevices were present on the structure, but no evidence (bats,
guano, or staining) of bats was observed.
Based on the lack of evidence of bats on the bridge, no known roost trees within 150 feet of
the project area, and being 109 miles to the closest 12 digit red HUC, NCDOT recommends a
Biological Conclusion of NO EFFECT for the NLEB.
Final design and environmental impacts information will be provided in the permit
application.

COMMITMENTS FROM PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN
NCDOT Division 10
This project involves construction activities on or adjacent to a FEMA-regulated stream(s).
Therefore, the Division will submit sealed as-built construction plans to the NCDOT Hydraulics
Unit upon completion of project construction, certifying that the drainage structure(s) and roadway
embankment that are located within the 100-year floodplain, were built as shown in the
construction plans, both horizontally and vertically.
NCDOT Hydraulic Design Unit
The Hydraulics Unit will coordinate with the NC Floodplain Mapping Program (FMP) to
determine the status of the project with regard to 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).
Coordination resulted in approval on October 16, 2019 for the FEMA NFIP (National Flood
Insurance Program) under NCDOT’s MOA with the FMP. This commitment is still valid.
NCDOT Project Management Unit, Roadway Design, Division 10 Construction
NCDOT PMU and Roadway Design Unit will continue to coordinate with the Carolina Thread
Trail, to accommodate the proposed trail, blue-way, and parking area, during the final design
phase.
Since the completion of the NEPA Document, a parking area has been established with river access
via wooden stairs leading down to the Rocky River. This project will avoid impacts to this facility.
Division 10 Construction
A historical marker is located in the northeast quadrant of the existing bridge. Coordination with
the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources (NCDCR) will need to take place, to ensure
proper handling and replacement of the historical marker.
Sheet 6 of the Roadway Plans indicate: "Relocate historical marker 1' outside of left proposed
paved shoulder."

NCDOT Environmental Analysis Unit, NCDOT Div. 10 Construction
During the course of the archaeological survey, one previously recorded archaeological site was
identified (31AN12/134). The core area of site 31AN12/134, described as the “midden” within
the upper terrace, is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under
Criterion D, for its information potential. It was recommended that this portion of site
31AN12/134 be avoided. However, if ground disturbing activities are scheduled to take place in
this area, then archaeological data recovery investigations will be necessary to mitigate the adverse
impacts. In addition, archaeological monitoring of any ground disturbing activities that may
impact portions of site 31AN12/134 that lie outside of the NRHP recommended portion of the site
was recommended.
The following specifications will be included in the construction plans, and NCDOT will be
responsible for ensuring that the contractor adheres to these commitments during the construction
phase of the project:
·The contractor will contact Matt Wilkerson at [phone] or [e-mail],
when ground-disturbing activities are anticipated on the south side of the Rocky River, in
locations designated from "Station 14+20 to Station 34+30" on the contract plans.
·The contractor will provide 72 hours-notice to Mr. Wilkerson, prior to ground-disturbing
activities that take place on the south side of the Rocky River, in the locations designated from
"Station 14+20 to Station 34+30" on the contract plans. The 72-hour period will begin upon
acknowledgment by Mr. Wilkerson that they have received the contact from the contractor.
·Mr. Wilkerson or his designate, will be on-site during the ground disturbing activities that take
place on the south side of the Rocky River, to monitor the activities within the locations
designated from "Station 14+20 to Station 34+30". Monitoring activities may include:
Cleaning and photographing areas exposed during construction, mapping both plan and profile
views of open trenches, as well as collecting materials or artifacts exposed during construction.
Mr. Wilkerson or his designate, will have the authority to halt all construction work in the
monitored location(s) to assess the need for further archaeological excavations.
NCDOT Division 10, Roadside Environmental Unit
NCDOT will adhere to Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds (DSSW), as the Rocky River
is listed in the 2018 Final 303(d) list of impaired waters due to turbidity
