EASLEY GOVERNOR October 12, 2007 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Raleigh Regulatory Field Office 6508 Falls of Neuse Road, Suite 120 Raleigh, NC 27615-681; ATTENTION: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer NCDOT Coordinator, Division 5 Dear Sir: LYNDO TIPPETT SECRETARY 071773 SUBJECT: Application for Section 404 Nationwide Permit 23, Section 401 Water Quality Certification, and Neuse Riparian Buffer Authorization for the replacement of Bridge No. 125 over Smith Creek on SR 2045 (Burlington Mills Rd), Wake County, Division 5. Federal Aid Project No: BRZ-2045 (1), State Project No: 8.2408001, WBS No: 33245.1.1, TIP Project No: B-3705. REFERENCE: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Action ID No. 200120076 (reference number for project, not for any individual document; provided to NCDOT by USACE via email). The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace Bridge No. 125 over Smith Creek on SR 2045 (Burlington Mills Rd) in Wake County. The current 121-foot long structure has a sufficiency rating of 6 out of 100 (for a new structure) and is considered functionally obsolete and structurally deficient. The replacement of this structure will result in safer traffic conditions. The project proposes to construct athree-span bridge with 45-inch pre-stressed concrete girders directly north of the existing horizontal alignment. Traffic will be maintained on the current structure and, once the new bridge is built, the existing bridge will be demolished. The new structure will be 170 feet long and will have a 48-foot wide deck. The bridge will span Smith Creek. The new bridge will have two 12- foot lanes, a 12-foot center turn lane, a 4-foot shoulder on the north side of the bridge, and a 2-foot wide shoulder/ 5.5-foot sidewalk combination on the south side. The bridge approaches will have two 12-foot lanes, a 12-foot center turn lane, an 8-foot shoulder (4 feet of shoulder paved) on the north side, and curb and gutter on the south side. The proposed design is slightly different than the preferred alternative that was described in the Categorical Exclusion (CE; Alternative 4). The CE stated that a 70-foot wide bridge with five lanes would be constructed in three stages on the existing horizontal alignment. However, due to financial constraints NCDOT has decided to reduce the number of .lanes from five to three. The current bridge replacement proposal is essentially the 1S` stage of the preferred alternative.

IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES General Descrivtion The project is located in the Neuse River Basin (sub-basin 03-04-02) in Wake County. This area is part of Hydrologic Cataloging Unit 03020201. Water resources within the project study area include Smith Creek, an unnamed tributary (UT-1) to Smith Creek, and two 2 wetlands (WT-1 and WT-2). U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (LJSACE) Regulatory Specialist Eric Alsmeyer visited the study area on December 28, 2006 and verified the delineation of each water resource. Smith Creek is a perennial stream that is approximately 25 to 30 feet wide. It is assigned Stream Index Number 27-23-(2) (05/01/1988) by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) and has a best usage classification of C NSW. During field visits associated with the Natural Resources Technical Report (NRTR; September 2001), the water clarity was described as being moderate to poor, partially due to increased sediment loads. Water flow within the creek was moderate and substrate was primarily composed of sand and gravel. UT-1 to Smith Creek is also a perennial stream, approximately 18 inches wide and one to two inches deep. During a field visit by NCDOT biologists on October 16, 2006, the water clarity was observed as being moderate, flow was moderate, and the substrate was composed of silt and sand. This tributary runs west through WT-2 into Smith Creek. Neither High Quality Waters (HQW), Water Supplies (WS I or WS In, nor Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) occur within 1.0 mile of the project study area. Additionally, Smith Creek is not included on NCDWQ's 2006 Final 303(d) List of Impaired Waters. However, Tom's Creek (Mill Creek), which is within 1.0 mile of the project study area, is on the 2006 list due to an overall impaired biological integrity. Both Smith Creek and Tom's Creek empty into the Neuse River, but they do not connect/flow in to each other at any point. WT-1 is located northwest of the existing bridge and is adjacent to Smith Creek. This riverine wetland extends beyond the project boundaries to the north. WT-2 is located southeast of the existing bridge and is adjacent to Smith Creek. This riverine wetland extends beyond the project boundaries to the south. Both wetlands are classified as palustrine forested, temporarily flooded communities (PFOIA Cowardin classification). Permanent Impacts There will be a total of 72 linear feet (0.03 acres) of permanent stream impacts associated with this project (Site 1). These impacts will occur along the west bank of Smith Creek where the current bridge crosses the creek and will result from stream bank repair work between Stations 26+00 -L-rt and 26+65 - L-rt. The repair work is necessary to repair erosion damage to the stream bank resulting from a large scour hole. Two hundred-pound to 700-pound stone will be used to fill the scour hole and stabilize the bank. There will be no permanent stream impacts to UT-1 to Smith Creek associated with this project. B-3705 Permit Application 2 There are a total of 0.17 acres of permanent riverine wetland impacts to WT-1 associated with this project (Site 1). A total of 0.14 acres of impact will result from the placement of fill material into the wetland. The remaining 0.03 acres of impact will result from mechanized clearing within the wetland. The mechanized clearing will be performed 10 feet beyond the cut/fill line across the entire wetland. There will also be 0.02 acres of permanent wetland impacts to WT-2 associated with this project (Site 2). These impacts are a result of mechanized clearing within the wetland for a Construction Easement. Temporary Impacts There are no temporary impacts associated with this project. Bridge Demolition The superstructure of Bridge No. 125 consists of a reinforced concrete floor on timber joists. The substructure consists of end bents, internal bents, and timber caps on timber piers. All components of the bridge will be removed without dropping any components into Waters of the U.S. The piers associated with the three in-stream bents will either be removed or snapped off level to the streambed. NCDOT shall adhere to NCDOT's Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Bridge Demolition and Removal. Utility Impacts There are no utility impacts to jurisdictional areas associated with this project. As an avoidance and minimization effort, Embarq will install a directional bore for telephone wiring under Smith Creek on the south side of Burlington Mills Road. They will be boring from high ground to high ground, resulting in no impacts to jurisdictional areas. The bore will begin around Station 29+OS -L- and will end around Station 24+40 -L-. IMPACTS TO THE NEUSE RIVER RIPARIAN BUFFER Riparian Buffer Impacts This project is located within the Neuse River Basin and is therefore subject to Neuse River riparian buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). There will be a total of 13,036 square feet of impacts to the buffers of Smith Creek from the construction of the bridge (Site 1). A total of 8,188 square feet will occur in Zone 1 and 4,848 square feet will occur in Zone 2 (Table 1). According to the buffer rules, impacts associated with the construction of bridges are Allowable. An additiona1664 square feet of buffer impacts will occur along UT-1 to Smith Creek beyond the eastern end bent of the new structure (Site 2). A total of 505 square feet will occur in Zone 1 and 159 square feet will occur in Zone 2 (Table 1). These impacts are categorized as road impacts other than crossings of streams and other surface waters (or road impacts other than crossings) and are Allowable with Mitigation (listed as Parallel Impacts on the Buffer Impacts Summary sheet and Mitigable Impacts on the buffer drawings). Additional road crossing impacts totaling less than 40 linear feet of riparian buffer will also occur along the west side of Smith Creek (Site 1; not shown in Table 1). A portion of the impacts will occur underneath and adjacent to the western approach slab of the new structure. These impacts will be in both Zones 1 and 2. The remainder of these road crossing impacts will occur south of the existing roadway in Zone 2. The buffer impacts are below the minimum threshold to be considered Allowable and are therefore considered Exempt. However, these impacts are shown with the same hatching as Allowable impacts on the buffer drawings. B-3705 Permit Application Wetlands in Buffers According to 15A NCAC 2B .0242, Section (3)(b)(iii), impacts to wetlands within Zones 1 and 2 of the riparian buffer that are subject to mitigation under 15A NCAC 2H .0506 shall comply with the mitigation ratios in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 only. Therefore, any wetland impacts that occur within either/both buffer zones will be subtracted from the buffer impacts and mitigated for as wetland impacts only. Along Smith Creek, there is a total of 208 square feet of WT-1 impacts within buffer Zone 2 (Site 1; not in Table 1). This wetland overlaps the road crossing buffer impacts mentioned above, which are Exempt from mitigation. Therefore, mitigation will only be proposed for the wetland impacts. Along UT-1 to Smith Creek, there are a total of 311 square feet of WT-2 impacts within its riparian buffer zones (Site 2). A total of 152 square feet occur in Zone 1 and 159 square feet occur in Zone 2 (Table 1). This wetland overlaps the buffer impacts considered road impacts other than crossings mentioned above, which are Allowable with Mitigation. Mitigation will only be proposed for the wetland impacts. Therefore, the square footage of WT-2 overlapping the buffer zones will be deducted from the buffer impacts. This will result in 353 square feet of Zone 1 impacts and zero square feet of Zone 2 impacts being considered for mitigation (Table 1). Table 1.

Replacement of this inadequate structure will result in safer and more efficient traffic operations. Because this bridge needs to be replaced, impacts to the riparian buffers of Smith Creek and UT-1 to Smith Creek are unavoidable. In this case, replacing the existing bridge on a slightly new alignment and maintaining traffic on the existing bridge during construction provides the least amount of impacts to riparian buffers. AVOIDANCE, 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 National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance stages; minimization measures were incorporated as part of the project design. B-3705 Permit Application 4 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 U.S. The following is a list of the project's jurisdictional stream and wetland avoidance/minimization activities proposed or completed by NCDOT: Avoidance/Minimization • Use ofpre-formed scour holes and an energy dissipater. • Use of directional boring for telephone utility work. • No bents are to be placed in Smith Creek. • During construction, traffic will be maintained on the existing structure. • Temporary construction impacts due to erosion and sedimentation will be minimized through implementation of stringent erosion control methods and use of NCDOT's BMPs for Protection of Surface Waters. NCDOT's BMP's for Bridge Demolition and Removal will also be implemented during this project. Com_pensator~Miti ag tion Stream and Wetland Mitigation through the Ecosystem Enhancement Program No mitigation is proposed for the 721inear feet of permanent stream impacts to Smith Creek because it is below the 150-foot threshold for requiring compensation. EEP will provide wetland mitigation for the 0.19 acres of permanent riverine wetland impacts resulting from this project. Please see the attached EEP mitigation acceptance letter, dated October 11, 2007. Buffer Mitigation Requirement There will be a total of 353 square feet of mitigable Zone 1 buffer impacts associated with this project. These impacts are considered road impacts other than crossings and are Allowable with Mitigation. To determine the mitigation requirement for these impacts, they were multiplied by the NCDWQ Zone 1 buffer multiplier of 3. This resulted in a total of 1,059 square feet of buffer mitigation being required for this project (Table 2). On-site Buffer Mitigation NCDOT will perform on-site buffer mitigation where SR 2045 (Burlington Mills Rd) currently passes over Smith Creek. The proposed mitigation will consist of restoring an area within buffer Zones I and 2 on the eastern bank of the creek (Site 1). This restoration will be used to mitigate for the 1,059 square feet of buffer mitigation required for this project. The on-site restoration will occur where the existing earthen abutment is located. It will involve excavating the abutment to match the natural ground elevations. Although a similar abutment excavation will occur on the western bank, that area was not considered for restoration because of the amount of rip rap that will be placed there during construction. The excavated area will be ripped and disked prior to planting, if necessary. The restoration area will be planted following successful completion of site grading. As specified in the On-site Buffer Mitigation Plan (enclosed), the site will be planted with a mixture of approximately 40 percent (%) tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), 30 % percent southern red oak (Quercus falcata), and 30 % white oak (Quercus alba). Saplings will be planted six to ten feet, on center, at a density of approximately 680 trees per acre. The site will be visually inspected following completion of the project. NCDOT proposes no annual monitoring of the site. There will be a total of 1,810 square feet of restoration associated with this project, with 1,330 square feet occurring in Zone 1 and 480 square feet occurring in Zone 2 (Table 2). After this on-site mitigation is applied to the 1,059 square feet of mitigation required, there will be a total of 751 square feet of B-3705 Permit Application 5 surplus buffer restoration on this project (Table 2). This surplus buffer restoration will placed on NCDOT's On-site Mitigation Debit Ledger for use on future NCDOT projects. Tahle 2.

FEDERALLY PROTECTED SPECIES Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Proposed Endangered (PE), and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended. As of its most recent update on May 10, 2007, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (iJSFWS) website lists four federally-protected species for Wake County: the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), and Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauzii). Table 3. Federally protected species in Wake County Biological Habitat Scientific Narue :. Common Name Federal Status Conclusion Present Haliaeetus leucocephalus bald eagle De-listed Not Required No Picoides borealis red-cockaded E No Effect No wood ecker Yes (poor Alasmidonta heterodon dwarf wedgemussel E No Effect ualit ) Rhus michauxii Michaux's sumac E No Effect Yes There is no suitable nesting or foraging habitat for the bald eagle within the project study area. Furthermore, a search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database (GIS shapefiles most recently updated on July 2, 2007) revealed no known populations of this species within 1.0 mile of the project. Therefore, a biological conclusion of No Effect was assigned to this species. According to a July 9, 2007 Federal Register release, the bald eagle was officially de-listed from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife effective August 8, 2007 (50 CFR Part 17). There is no suitable habitat for the red-cockaded woodpecker within the project study area. Furthermore, a search of the NCNHP database on October 9, 2007 revealed no known populations of this species B-3705 Permit Application 6 within 1.0 mile of the project. Therefore, a biological conclusion of No Effect has been assigned to this species. A survey for potential dwarf wedgemussel habitat and individuals was performed by NCDOT biologists Logan Williams and Sue Brady on August 21, 2000. No mussels were found during the survey and the habitat was determined to be "somewhat degraded". NCDOT biologists Karen Lynch, Kathy Herring, and Heather Renninger reassessed the habitat and re-surveyed the study area on March 22, 2007. Again, no mussels were found during the survey. Shells of the invasive Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea) were present. As a result of these surveys and a review of historical data, it appears that the dwarf wedgemussel does not occur in this watershed. Additionally, the NCNHP database shows no known populations of this species within 1.0 mile of the project. Therefore, this project will not impact the dwarf wedgemussel and a biological conclusion of No Effect has been rendered for this species. Initially, the biological conclusion for Michaux's sumac documented in the CE was No Effect due to lack of potential habitat. However, NCDOT biologists Jim Mason, Erica McLamb, and Greg Price re- evaluated the project area on October 16, 2006 and determined that potential habitat did exist in the form of disturbed roadsides and forest edges. Walking surveys totaling six man-hours were conducted and resulted in 100 percent coverage of the study area. No specimens of Michaux's sumac were observed. Furthermore, a review of the NCNHP database (most recently checked on October 9, 2007) revealed no known populations of this species within 1.0 mile of the project. Therefore, the Biological Conclusion of No Effect remains valid for this species. SCHEDULE The project calls for a review date of November 27, 2007, a letting of January 15, 2008, and a date of availability of February 26, 2008. It is expected that the contractor will choose to start construction in February/March 2008.

Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs maybe included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: There will be a total of 72 linear feet (0 03 acres) of permanent stream impacts associated with this project (Site 1). These impacts will occur along the west bank of Smith Creek and will result from stream bank repair work between Stations 26+00 -L-rt and 26+65 -L-rt The repair work will take place where the current bridge crosses Smith Creek and is necessary repair erosion damage to the stream bank resulting from a large scour hole There will be no permanent stream impacts to UT-1 to Smith Creek associated with this project There are a total of 0.17 acres of permanent wetland impacts to WT-1 associated with this project Site 1) A total of 0.14 acres of impact will result from the placement of fill material into the wetland. The remaining 0.03 acres of impact will result from mechanized clearing within the wetland The mechanized clearing will be performed 10 feet beyond the cut/fill line across the entire wetland. There will also be a total of 0.02 acres of permanent wetland impacts to WT-2 associated with this~roject (Site 2).

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. NCDOT will use pre-formed scour holes and an energy dissipater on this project. Also, as an avoidance and minimization effort Embara will employ directional boring for telephone utility work. No bents are to be placed in Smith Creek. Additionally, during construction, traffic will be maintained on the existing structure. Temporary construction impacts due to erosion and sedimentation will be minimized through implementation of stringent erosion control methods and use of NCDOT's BMPs for Protection of Surface Waters. NCDOT's BMP's for Bride Demolition and Removal will also be implemented during this project. VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when 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. Page 6 of 10 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 http://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. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at (919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form.

Yes ® No ^ 2. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer multipliers. Zone* Impact (s uare feet) Multiplier Required Miti ation 1 353 3 (2 for Catawba) 1,059 2 0 1.5 0 Total 353 1,059 * Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration /Enhancement, or Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. In addition to the mitigable buffer impacts listed above, there will be a total of 13,036 square feet of Allowable bridge impacts to the buffers of Smith Creek and UT-1 to Smith Creek associated with this project Sites 1 and 2). A total of 8,188 square feet will occur in Zone 1 and 4,848 square feet will occur in Zone 2. There will also be additional Exempt buffer impacts to Zones 1 and 2 of Smith Creek. For the mitigable impacts listed above, NCDOT will perform limited on-site buffer mitigation where SR 2045 currently passes over Smith Creek. The proposed mitigation will consist of restoring riparian buffer within buffer Zones 1 and 2 on the eastern bank of the creek. This restoration will involve excavating the existin>; brids;e abutment on the eastern bank to match the natural ground elevations. Although a similar abutment excavation will occur on the western bank that area was not considered for restoration because of the amount of riprap that will be placed there during construction. The excavated area will be ripped and disked prior to planting, if necessary. The restoration azea Page 8 of 10 will be planted following successful completion of site rg_adm~pecified in the on-site buffer miti atg ion plan (enclosed) the site will be planted with a mixture of approximately 40 percent (%) tulip poplar (Liriodendron tuli~ifera), 30 % percent southern red oak (~uercus „ alcata) and 30 % white oak (Ouercus alba). Saplings will be planted six to ten feet, on center at a density of approximately 680 trees der acre. The site will be visually inspected following completion of the project. NCDOT proposes no annual monitoring of the site. There will be a total of 1 810 square feet of restoration associated with this project, with 1 330 square feet occurringin Zone 1 and 480 square feet occurring in Zone 2. After this on- site mitigation is applied to the 1 059 square feet of mitigation required, there will be a total of 751 square feet of surplus buffer restoration on this project. This suralus buffer restoration will placed on NCDOT's On-site Mitigation Debit Ledger for use on future NCDOT proiects. XI.

This mitigation occurs within Transportation Improvement Project (TIP) B-3705 in Wake County. The proposed mitigation site will consist of restoring .1330-sq. ft. of riparian buffer within Buffer Zone 1 and 480 sq. ft. in Zone 2 of the Neuse River Basin Buffer Zones. The restoration area will involve excavating the existing causeway to match the natural ground elevations. Excavated areas will be ripped and disked prior to planting if necessary. The restoration area will be planted after the completion of the site grading. The site will be planted with a mixture of Yellow Poplar (Liriodendron Tulipifera), Southern Red Oak (Quercus Falcata), and White Oak (Quercus Alba). To view a copy of the plan sheets for this project see sheet No. RF-2. This mixture of trees will be planted on six to ten foot centers at a density of 680 trees per acre. The site will visually be inspected after construction is complete. No annual monitoring is proposed for this site. ~ -L- ~- VARIES I VaRlES EXISTING GRWND ~ $ P GRADE PS. ~ I ~ ~ ~ ExrsrlNC cRa1No ' I ~~ Ls nA Ml ~ $ I a . ~ ~ r` ' ~M 6d vatrARLE ----- -- --- ---- ~ 6,r 4d vaaaecE - SLOPE SIAPE - ~ T Dl fl W U W fl Dt T ~, ~~ V 1 ~ - S!A GRADE TO TH1S UNf ~ U jpE - _ EXISTING GRIXIND EXISTING GROUND TYPICAL SECTION N0.!

Branch, and Hydraulics Unit. The stream impacts associated with the project will likely be lower than the 150 linear-foot (45.7 m) threshold. If it becomes apparent during final design that more than 150 linear feet (45.7 m) of stream will be impacted, mitigation measures will be considered. Categorical Exclusion July 2002 Wake County S R 2045 Bridge No. 125 Over Smith Creek Federal Aid Project No. BRZ-2045(1) State Project 8.2408001 TIP Project No. B-3705 - INTRODUCTION: The replacement of Bridge No. 125 is included in the 2002- 2008 North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Transportation Improvement Program 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 NCDOT Bridge Maintenance Unit records indicate the bridge has a sufficiency rating of 6 out of a possible of 100 for a new structure. The bridge is considered functionally obsolete and structurally deficient. The replacement of this inadequate structure will result in safer and more efficient traffic operations. II. EXISTING CONDITIONS SR 2045 (Burlington Mills Road) in Wake County is functionally classified as a "Rural Minor Collector" in the Statewide Functional Classification System. Through the project area, SR 2045 has an 18-foot (5.5 m) wide pavement and 6-foot (1.8 m) unstabilized shoulders. There is a widened curb-and-gutter section in front on the southeast side of the bridge. There is no recorded right-of-way; therefore, right-of-way is assumed to be to the edge of the pavement. The horizontal and vertical alignments are adequate. The speed limit posted on SR 2045 is 45 mph near the bridge. The existing bridge and roadway are shown - in Figure 4. The existing bridge was constructed in 1953. The superstructure consists of a reinforced concrete floor on timber joists. The substructure consists of timber caps on timber piles. The existing bridge consists of two 17-foot 9-inch (5.4 m) spans and five 17-foot 0-inch (5.2 m) spans with a clear roadway width of 24 feet (7.3 m). The crown of the roadway is situated 16 feet (4.9 m) over the bed of Smith Creek. The posted weight limit is 18 tons for single vehicles and 26 tons for trucks with trailers. The bridge is located in a tangent section of SR 2045 and crosses Smith Creek at approximately 90 degrees. 1 7,900 vehicles per day currently cross Bridge No. 125 on SR 2045. By the design year 2025, the average daily traffic volume is expected to increase to 15,000 vehicles per day. The projected traffic volume includes two percent dual- tired vehicles and one percent truck-tractor semi-trailers. Twelve school buses each cross the bridge two times daily. SR 2045 is not a designated bicycle route. Three accidents were reported approximately 500 feet (152 m) from Bridge No. 125 in the period between January 1, 1998 and December 31, 2001. In addition, there were seven other accidents in the project vicinity mostly involving animals. Two of these accidents (not involving animals) occurred within 100 feet (30 m) of each other. One accident, the vehicle ran off the road to the right and alcohol impairment was suspected according to NCDOT Traffic Engineering Accident Analysis System. Another accident involved two vehicles sideswiping each other. Underground telephone cable is located on the north side of SR 2045. The line crosses Smiths Creek on two poles. Overhead power and telephone lines are located on the south side of the existing structure. A fire hydrant is located approximately 150 feet (46 m) east of the bridge on the south side of SR 2045. There is curb and gutter on the south side of SR 2045 east of the bridge. III. ALTERNATIVES A. Project Description The project replaces the existing bridge with a new bridge approximately on the existing horizontal alignment and above the existing grade. The bridge will carry two lanes of traffic over Smith Creek. It will have two 12-foot (3.6 m) lanes with 3-foot (0.9 m) shoulders. The bridge approaches will have two 12-foot (3.6 m) lanes with 8-foot (2.4 m) shoulders, 4 feet (1.2 m) of the shoulders being paved. The bridge is anticipated to be approximately 120 feet (37 m) long. Figure 3 shows the typical cross-sections of the roadway approaches and bridge. The proposed design speed is 50 miles per hour (80 kilometers per hour). B. Detailed Study Alternatives Four alternatives were carried forward for detailed study in this Categorical Exclusion. They are shown on Figure 2 and described below. Alternative 1. This alternative replaces the bridge on its existing horizontal alignment while maintaining traffic on-site during construction on a temporary detour to the north of the existing bridge. The bridge would have a 30-foot (9.1 m) wide deck. 2 Alternative 2. This alternative replaces the bridge on its existing horizontal alignment while maintaining traffic on-site during construction on a temporary detour to the south of the existing bridge. The bridge would have a 30-foot (9.1 m) wide deck. Alternative 3. This alternative replaces the bridge on its existing horizontal alignment while using an off-site detour to maintain traffic during construction. The bridge would have a 30-foot (9.1 m) wide deck. The detour consists of US 1, US 1 A, SR 2044 (Ligon Mill Road), and SR 2045 (Burlington Mill Road). The total off-site detour length is approximately 6.2 miles (10 km). The detour is shown on Figure 1. Alternative 4. This alternative replaces the bridge on its existing horizontal alignment while using multi-staged construction to maintain traffic on-site during construction. The bridge would have a 70-foot (21 m) wide deck. In Stage 1, the north side of the new bridge will be constructed while maintaining traffic on the existing bridge. Traffic will be shifted over to the north side of the new bridge in Stage 2. The existing bridge will be removed and the south side of the new bridge will be constructed. Stage 3 will consist of shifting traffic to the south to line up with the existing horizontal alignment. C. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Study No Action Alternative. This alternative consists of short-term minor reconstruction and maintenance activities that are part of an ongoing plan for continuing operation of the existing bridge and roadway system in the project area. Many of the structural elements are decaying. Decay has already reduced the bridge's safe load-bearing capacity. D. Preferred Alternative Alternative. 4, replacing the existing bridge on its existing horizontal alignment while using multi-staged construction to maintain traffic on-site during construction is the preferred alternative. Alternative 4 was selected because: • It avoids community and commuter disruption caused by using an off-site detour during construction. It has the fewer overall natural resources and right-of-way impacts than the on-site detour alternatives. • It is less costly than the other on-site detour alternatives. 3 IV. ESTIMATED COSTS Construction and right-of-way cost estimates for the alternatives studied are presented below in Table 1. Table 1.

Right-of-way acquisition is scheduled for Federal Fiscal Year 2002, with construction to follow in Federal Fiscal Year 2003. V. NATURAL RESOURCES A. Methodology Published information and resources were collected prior to the field investigation. Information sources used to prepare this report include the following: • United States Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle map (Wake Forest, 1987) • United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) • National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Map (Wake Forest, 1987) 4 • NCDOT aerial photograph of project area (1:1200) • Soil Survey of Wake County, North Carolina (Natural Resources Conservation Service [NRCS) 1970) • North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) basin-wide assessment information (NCDENR, 1996) ' USFWS list of protected and candidate species • North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) files of rare species and unique habitats Water resource information was obtained from publications posted on the World Wide Web by NCDENR Division of Water Quality. Information concerning the occurrence of federally protected species in the study area was obtained from the USFWS list of protected and candidate species (March 2002), posted on the World Wide Web by the Ecological Services branch of the USFWS office in North Carolina. Information concerning species under state protection was obtained from the NHP database of rare species and unique habitats. NHP files were reviewed for documented sightings of species on state or federal lists and locations of significant natural areas. A general field survey was conducted along the proposed project route by Earth Tech biologists on December 7, 2000. Water resources were identified and their physical characteristics were recorded. For the purposes of this study, a brief habitat assessment was performed within the project area of Smith Creek. Plant communities and their associated wildlife were identified using a variety of observation techniques, including active searching, visual observations, and identifying characteristic signs of wildlife (sounds, tracks, scats, and burrows). Terrestrial community classifications generally follow Schafale and Weakley (1990) where appropriate and plant taxonomy follows Radford et al. (1968). Vertebrate taxonomy follows Potter et a/. (1980), Martof et al. (1980), and Webster et a/. (1985). Vegetative communities were mapped using aerial photography of the project site. Predictions regarding wildlife community composition involved general qualitative habitat assessment based on existing vegetative communities. ' Jurisdictional wetlands, if present, were delineated and evaluated based on criteria established in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation _ Manual (USAGE, 1987). Wetlands were classified based on Cowardin et al. (1979). B. Physiography and Soils The project area lies in the central portion of North Carolina within the Piedmont physiographic province. Elevations in the project area are approximately 190 feet (57.6 m) above mean sea level (National Geodetic Vertical Datum, 1929). The topography of the project vicinity is hilly with gentle slopes rising from both riverbanks. 5 The proposed project is in a rural area in Wake County between US1 and SR 2044 (Ligon Mill Road). Wake County's major economic resources are business, education, and industry. The population of Wake County in 1999 was 592,218 (North Carolina Office of State Budget, Planning and Management 1999). Information about soils in the project area was taken from the Soil Survey of Wake County, North Carolina (USDA, 1970). The map units in the project area - are Wehadkee and Bibb, and Helena sandy loam, 6 to 10 percent slope, eroded soils. • Wehadkee and Bibb (Wo) soils are nearly level, poorly drained soils found in floodplains, narrow upland draws and in depressions throughout the county. This soil is mapped along the banks of the project area. These soils are wet, subject to frequent flooding of long duration, and the water table may be at the surface for nearly six months. Surface runoff is slow to ponded and infiltration is good to fair. The Wehadkee and Bibb soil series are on the state list of hydric soils. • Helena sandy loam (HeC2), 6 to 10 percent slope, eroded soils are mapped within the project area. This soil is found on narrow slopes in the uplands, has fair infiltration, slow permeability, and rapid runoff. The water table is perched as a result of slow permeability. Site index is a measure of soil quality and productivity. The index is the average height, in feet, that dominant and co-dominant trees of a given species attain in a specified number of years (typically 50). The site index applies to fully-stocked, even-aged, unmanaged stands. The soils in the project area have the following site indices: • The Wehadkee and Bibb soils have a site index of 85 to 95 for loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), and water oak (Quercus nigra), and 85 to 100 for tulip poplar (Liriodendron tu/ipifera). • The Helena sandy loam soils have a site index of 75 to 85 for loblolly pine, sweetgum, and tulip poplar, and 60 to 70 for shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata), C. Water Resources This section contains information concerning water resources likely to be impacted by the proposed project. Water resources assessments include the physical characteristics likely to be impacted by the proposed project (determined by field survey), best usage classifications, and water quality aspects of the water resources. Probable impacts to surface waters are also discussed, as well as means to minimize impacts. 6 i. Waters Impacted The project is located in the Neuse River basin (NEU02 sub-basin). Smith Creek originates about 9 miles (14.6 km) northeast of the project area, just east of Wake Forest, NC. It drains the Wake Forest Reservoir and adjacent rural areas. The creek flows in a southwesterly direction to the project area. From the project area, the creek flows south for 0.75 miles (1.2 km) to its confluence with the Neuse River. Smith Creek is approximately 35 feet (10.6 m) wide within the study area, except in the area directly under the bridge where the stream constricts to a width of 8 feet (2.4 m). The banks are generally 4 feet (1.2 m) high, well-vegetated, and have very little slumping. A wide to moderate floodplain is found on both sides of the stream. The water clarity is moderate to poor, flow is moderate, and substrate is sand and gravel. A large sand levee is present along nearly the entire length of the western bank of the stream within the project area. On the south (downstream) side of the bride there are large sand and gravel bars on the inside of the meander bends. A canopy of hardwoods provides 90 percent canopy cover. 2. Water Resource Characteristics Surface waters in North Carolina are assigned a classification by the DWQ that is designed to maintain, protect, and enhance water quality within the state. Smith Creek [Index # 27-23-(2)j is classified as a Class C NSW water body (NCDENR, 2001). Classification and index numbers for Smith Creek change both above and below Wake Forest Reservoir. The project site lies entirely within the C NSW classified section. Class C water resources are waters protected for aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture. Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner. NSW, or nutrient sensitive waters require limits on nutrient inputs. There are no restrictions on watershed development activities in the project area. No waters classified as High Quality Water (HQW), Water Supplies (WS-I or WS-II) or Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) occur within 1 mile (1.6 km) of the project study area. The project area is in a moderately to heavily developed watershed. Disturbances to the landscape were observed in the immediate vicinity, including a large residential area, and small agricultural fields. Potential threats to stream quality in this area are continued residential development that would result in increased sedimentation within the stream. 7 Basin-wide water quality assessments are conducted by the Environmental Sciences Branch, Water Quality Section of the DWQ (Jan 2001). The program has established monitoring stations for sampling selected benthic macroinvertebrates, which are known to have varying levels of tolerance to water pollution. An index of water quality can be derived from the number of taxa present and the ratio of tolerant to intolerant taxa. Streams can then be given a bioclassification ranging from Poor to Excellent. There are three monitoring stations on Smith Creek. The station furthest upstream from the project site is located about 2.5 miles (4.05 km) upstream where the stream crosses SR 2049. It was sampled in December 1986 and classified as Fair. Another station is located about 1 mile (1.62 km) upstream of the project area where the creek crosses SR 2044. It was sampled in December 1986 and classified as Poor. A third station is located at the bridge within the project area. It was sampled in December of 1986 and given a Poor rating, then again in July 1995 and given aGood-Fair rating. Point source discharges in North Carolina are permitted through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program administered by the DWQ. Municipal, industrial, and other facilities that discharge directly into surface waters must obtain a permit. Homes that use a municipal wastewater system or a septic system, and do not discharge to surface waters do not require a permit under the program. There are two permits issued to discharge in Smith Creek as of January 2001 (NCDENR 2001). One Minor, Non-municipal permit (#NC0007528) is issued to Wake Forest Township Wastewater Treatment Plant to discharge in Smith Creek about 0.5 miles (0.3 km) downstream from the project site. This permit is classified as "Water Plants, Surface Water". Another Minor, Non-municipal permit (#NC0073318) is issued to Ira D. Lee of Whipporwill Valley to discharge into Smith Creek about 0.75 miles (0.46 km) upstream from the project site. This permit is classified as "Domestic, Subdivisions". 3. Anticipated Impacts to Water Resources a) Generallmpacts Any action that affects water quality can adversely affect aquatic organisms. Temporary impacts during the construction phases may result in long-term impacts to the aquatic community. In general, replacing an existing structure in the same location with an off-site detour is the preferred environmental approach. Bridge replacement at a new location results in more severe impacts, and physical impacts are incurred at the point of bridge replacement. Project construction may result in the following impacts to surface water resources: 8 • Increased sediment loading and siltation as a consequence of watershed vegetation removal, erosion, and/or construction. • Decreased light penetration/water clarity from increased sedimentation. • Changes in water temperature with vegetation removal. Changes in the amount of available organic matter with vegetation removal. • Increased concentration of toxic compounds from highway runoff, construction activities and construction equipment, and spills from construction equipment. • Alteration of water levels and flows as a result of interruptions and/or additions to surface and groundwater flow from construction. Construction impacts may not be restricted to the communities in which the construction activity occurs, but may also affect downstream communities. Efforts will be made to ensure that no sediment leaves the construction site. NCDOT's Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters will be implemented, as applicable, during the construction phase of the project to ensure that no sediment leaves the construction site. 4. Impacts Related to Bridge Demolition and Removal Case 3 applies to this bridge replacement project because Smith Creek has not been identified as a special resource water, is not associated with fish migration, spawning or larval recruitment, and is not known to contain any threatened or endangered species. The superstructure consists of reinforced concrete with timber joints. The substructure consists of end bents and internal bents, and timber caps on timber piles. The maximum potential fill is 60.59 cubic yards (46.32 cubic meters). D. Biotic Resources Terrestrial and aquatic communities are included in the description of biotic - resources. Living systems described in the following sections include communities of associated plants and animals. These descriptions refer to the dominant flora and fauna in each community and the relationships of these biotic components. Descriptions of the terrestrial systems are presented in the context of plant community classifications. These classifications follow Schafale and Weakley (1990) where possible. They are also cross-referenced to The Nature Conservancy International Classification of Ecological Communities: Terrestrial Vegetation of the Southeastern United States (Weakley et al., 1998), which has recently been adopted as the standard land cover classification by the Federal Geographic Data Committee. Representative animal species that are likely to occur in these habitats (based on published range distributions) are also cited. Scientific nomenclature and common names (when applicable) are used for the 9 plant and animal species described. Subsequent references to the same species are by the common name only. 1. Plant Communities Five terrestrial communities were identified within the project area: a disturbed roadside community, a floodplain forest, an upland forest, a pine plantation, and a wetland. Dominant faunal components associated with these terrestrial areas - will be discussed in each community description. Many species are adapted to the entire range of habitats found along the project alignment, but may not be mentioned separately in each community description. a) Disturbed Roadside Community This community covers the area along the road shoulders in the project area. Species include greenbriar (Smilax sp.), a variety of grasses (including Festuca), privet (Ligustrum sp.), dewberry (Rubus sp.), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), wild onion (Allium cernuum), henbit (Lamium amp/exicau/e), clover (Lespedeza sp.), and goldenrod (Solidago sp.). b) Floodplain Forest Community This community occurs along the banks of Smith Creek. Canopy species include sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica var. subintegerrima), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), and river birch (Betula nigra). The understory includes red maple (Acer rubrum), ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), Japanese honeysuckle, dewberry, .glaucous greenbriar (Smilax g/auca), grapevine (Vitis sp.), winged elm (U/mus a/ata), box elder (Acer negundo), poison ivy (Rhus radicans), tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima), and privet. This community probably represents a marginal example of a Piedmont/Mountain Levee forest as described by Schafale and Weakley (1990). The TNC classification is most likely 1.6.2.N.d.13 P/atanus occidentalis-(Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Celtis laevigata, Acer saccharinum) Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance. c) Upland Forest Community An upland forest community is present along the periphery of both wetland areas and the floodplain forests within the project area. Tree species in this community include loblolly pine (Pious taeda), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), sweetgum, southern red oak (Quercus falcata), white oak (Quercus a/ba), red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), winged elm, and dogwood (Corpus f/orida). Little to no herbaceous vegetation was observed due to the time of year the site visit occurred. This community is probably an example of a Basic Mesic Forest (Piedmont Subtype) as described by Schafale and Weakley (1990). The TNC 10 classification is most likely I.C.3.N.a.23 Pinus taeda - (Liquidambar styraciflua, Liriodendron tulipifera) forest alliance. d) Pine Plantation Community This community is present on the northeast side of Smith's Creek. This community contains only 15 to 20 year-old loblolly pine and various grasses. There are no community types listed by Schafale and Weakley (1990). The TNC equivalent is I.A.8.C.x.9 Pinus taeda Planted Forest Alliance. e) Wetland Community A forested wetland community is present on the northwest side of Smith Creek. In general, the plants within this community are growing in Wehadkee and Bibb soil. This wetland community is dominated by sweetgum, willow oak (Quercus phellos), red maple, sycamore, and green ash. Other shrub species include ironwood, privet, greenbriar, poison ivy, and cross vine (Bignonea capreolata). Herbaceous vegetation includes giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea), and sedge (Carex sp.). This community is similar in part to the Piedmont/Mountain Swamp Forest community as described by Schafale and Weakley (1990). The TNC equivalent is 111.B.2.N.d.12. Liquidambar styraciflua- (Liriodendron tulipifera, Acer rubrum) Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance. A second forested wetland community lies on the southeast side of Smith Creek. The plants of this wetland are also growing in Wehadkee and Bibb soil. Tree species in this wetland include sweetgum, sycamore, red maple, green ash, and willow oak. Shrubs include red maple, green, winged elm, American holly (Ilex opaca), and ironwood. Vines and herbaceous vegetation include greenbriar, poison ivy, sedges, soft rush (Juncus effusus), and asters (Aster sp.). This wetland community is also similar in part to the Piedmont/Mountain Swamp Forest Community as described by Schafale and Weakley (1990). The TNC equivalent is also III.B.2.N.d.12. Liquidambar styraciflua- (Liriodendron tulipifera, Acer rubrum) Temporarily Flooded Forest Alliance. 2. Wildlife Communities a) Disturbed Roadside Community The animal species present in these disturbed habitats are opportunistic and capable of surviving on a variety of resources, ranging from vegetation to both living and dead faunal components. Northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), starling (Sturnus vulgaris), and American robin (Turdus migratorius) are common birds that use these habitats. The area may also be used by the Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), various species of ,mice (Peromyscus sp.), 11 Eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis), and American toad (Bufo americanus). b) Floodplain Forest Community While visiting this site, Earth Tech biologists observed downy woodpecker ' (Picoides pubescens), ruby-crowned kinglet (Regulus calendu/a), tufted titmouse (Parus bicolor), Carolina chickadee (Parus carolinensis), yellow-bellied sapsucker (Sphyrapicus various), and gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis). Raccoon (Procyon lotor) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) may also be expected here, along with Carolina wren (Thryothorus /udovicianus), and eastern box turtle (Terrapene Carolina). c) Upland Forest Community On the day of the site visit Earth Tech biologists observed red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus), Carolina chickadee (Parus carolinensis), yellow-romped warbler (Dendroica coronata), northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), and song sparrow (Pooecetes gramineus). Rubbings of white-tailed deer were also seen within this community. Other species that might be expected include gray squirrel, southeastern shrew (Sorex longirostris), white- breasted nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis), and eastern box turtle. d) Pine Plantation Community Animals expected in this community include pine warbler (Dendroica pious), ruby-crowned kinglet, striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), eastern mole (Scalopus aquaticus), and corn snake (Elaphe guttata gutfata). e) Wetland Community Due to the small size of these wetlands, the animals that utilize this community are essentially the same as those found in the Floodplain Forest. However, on the day of the site visit spring peepers (Pseudacris crucifer) were heard. Other amphibians such as southern cricket frogs (Acris gry/lus) and southern chorus frogs (Pseudacris nigrita) may also utilize this wet area. 3. Aquatic Communities Within the project area, Smith Creek is aloes-gradient, third-order stream. The bed material consists of mostly of sand and gravel. On the day of the site visit, the water flow was moderate and clarity was moderate to poor. The riparian community is mostly deciduous trees and mixed evergreen-deciduous shrubs. No aquatic vegetation was observed. 12 Smith Creek has not been identified by fisheries biologists at the Wildlife Resources Commission as an important spawning area for any anadramous fishes. 4. Anticipated Impacts to Biotic Communities Project construction will have various impacts to the previously described terrestrial and aquatic communities. Any construction activities in or near these resources have the potential to impact biological functions. This section quantifies and qualifies potential impacts to the natural communities within the project area in terms of the area impacted and the plants and animals affected. Temporary and permanent impacts are considered here along with recommendations to minimize or eliminate impacts. a) Terrestrial Communities Terrestrial communities in the project area will be impacted permanently by project construction from clearing and paving. Estimated impacts are based on the length of the alternative and the entire study corridor width. Alternative 1 and its detour are a total of 180 feet (54.5 m) wide. The bridge replacement portion of Alternative 1 is 850 feet (258.6 m) long and 90 feet (27.3 m) wide, and the detour for Alternative 1 is 1757 feet (532.4 m) long and 90 feet (27.3 m) wide. The bridge replacement portion of Alternative 2 is 850 feet (258.6 m) long and 90 feet (27.3 m) wide, and the detour is 1702 feet (515.8 m) long and 90 feet (27.3 m) wide. Table 2 describes the potential impacts to terrestrial communities by habitat type. Because impacts are based on the entire study corridor width, the actual loss of habitat will likely be less than the estimate. Table 2.

Alternative 4, will have less overall impacts as compared to Alternatives 1 and 2. Destruction of natural communities along the project alignment will result in the loss of foraging and breeding habitats for the various animal species that utilize the area. Animal species will be displaced into surrounding communities. Adult birds, mammals, and some reptiles are mobile enough to avoid mortality during construction. Young animals and less mobile species, such as many amphibians, may suffer direct loss during construction. The plants and animals that are found in the upland communities are generally common throughout the piedmont of North Carolina. Impacts to terrestrial communities, particularly in locations having steep to moderate slopes, can result in the aquatic community receiving heavy sediment loads as a consequence of erosion. Construction impacts may not be restricted to the communities in which the construction activity occurs, but may also affect downstream communities. Efforts should be made to ensure that no sediment leaves the construction site. b) Wetland Communities Two forested palustrine wetlands were identified within the project area. Alternative 1 would impact 0.49 acres (0.18 hectares [haJ) of the wetland community; Alternative 2 would impact 0.50 acres (0.19 ha) of the wetland community; Alternative 3 would impact 0.07 acres (0.03 ha) of the wetland community; and Alternative 4 would impact 0.24 acres (0.10 ha) of the wetland community. Project construction cannot be accomplished without infringing on the surface waters. Anticipated surface water impacts fall under the jurisdiction of the USACE and the DWQ. c) Aquatic Communities Impacts to aquatic communities include fluctuations in water temperatures as a result of the loss of riparian vegetation. Shelter and food resources, both in the aquatic and terrestrial portions of these organisms' life cycles, will be affected by losses in the terrestrial communities. The loss of aquatic plants and animals will affect terrestrial fauna which rely on them as a food source. Temporary and permanent impacts to aquatic organisms may result from increased sedimentation. Aquatic invertebrates may drift downstream during construction and recolonize the disturbed area once it has been stabilized. Sediments have the potential to affect fish and other aquatic life in several ways, including the clogging and abrading of gills and other respiratory surfaces, affecting the habitat by scouring and filling of pools and riffles, altering water 14 chemistry, and smothering different life stages. Increased sedimentation may cause decreased light penetration through an increase in turbidity. Wet concrete should not come into contact with surface water during bridge construction. Potential adverse effects can be minimized through the implementation of NCDOT Best Management Practices for Protection of Surface Waters. Because the stream in the proposed project area is designated as a WS-IV water, erosion control methods for high quality waters will be implemented as included in NCDOT's Best Management Practices for Protection of Surface Waters and Erosion and Sediment Control Guidelines. E. Special Topics This section provides inventories and impact analyses for two federal and state regulatory issues: "Waters of the United States." and rare and protected species. 1. "Waters of the United States": Jurisdictional Issues Wetlands and surface waters fall under the broad category of "Waters of the United States" as defined in 33 CFR § 328.3 and in accordance with provisions of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). These waters are regulated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). Any action that proposes to dredge or place fill material into surface waters or wetlands falls under these provisions. The Wake Forest, NC NWI map shows a palustrine forested temporarily flooded wetland on both banks of Smith Creek within the proposed project area. A site visit confirmed the presence of two jurisdictional wetlands; one each on the northwest and southeast sides of the stream within the project area. Smith Creek meets the definition of surface waters, and is therefore classified as Waters of the United States. The channel is 10 feet (3 m) wide within the project area. Project construction cannot be accomplished without infringing on the surface waters. Anticipated surface water impacts fall under the jurisdiction of the USAGE and the DWQ. Within the project area, Smith Creek is 13 feet (10.6 m) wide. Assuming two study corridors of 90 feet (27.3 m) for each alternate, the construction of the new bridge will impact 180 linear feet (54.5 m) of stream, and a total area of 2340 sq feet (709 sq m) of surface waters. Two forested palustrine wetlands were identified within the project area. Alternative 1 would impact 0.49 acres (0.18 hectares [ha]) of the wetland community; Alternative 2 would impact 0.50 acres (0.19 ha) of the wetland community; Alternative 3 would impact 0.07 acres (0.03 ha) of the wetland community; and Alternative 4 would impact 0.24 acres (0.10 ha) of the wetland community. 15 2. Permits Impacts to jurisdictional surface waters are anticipated from the proposed project. Permits and certifications from various state and federal agencies may be required prior to construction activities. a) Section 404 of the Clean Water Act Construction is likely to be authorized by Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 23, as promulgated under 61 FR 2020, 2082; January 15, 2002. This permit authorizes activities undertaken, assisted, authorized, regulated, funded, or financed in whole or in part, by another Federal agency or department where that agency or department has determined that, pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act: • the activity, work, or discharge is categorically excluded from environmental documentation because it is included within a category of actions which neither individually nor cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment; and the Office of the Chief Engineer has been furnished notice of the agency's or department's application for the categorical exclusion and concurs with that determination. b) Section 401 Water Quality Certification This project will also require a 401 Water Quality Certification or waiver thereof, from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) prior to issuance of the NWP 23. Section 401 of the Clean Water Act requires that the state issue or deny water certification for any federally permitted or licensed activity that results in a discharge into Waters of the U.S. Final permit decision rests with the USACE. c) Bridge Demolition and Removal Demolition and removal of a highway bridge over Waters of the United States - requires a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers if dropping components of the bridge into the water is the only practical. means of demolition. Effective 9/20/99, this permit is included with the permit for bridge reconstruction. The permit application henceforth will require disclosure of demolition methods and potential impacts to the body of water in the planning document for the bridge reconstruction. Section 402-2 "Removal of Existing Structures" of NCDOT's Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures stipulates that "excavated materials shall 16 not be deposited....in rivers, streams, or impoundments," and "the dropping of parts or components of structures into any body of water will not be permitted unless there is no other practical method of removal. The removal from the water of any part or component of a structure shall be done so as to keep any resulting siltation to a minimum." To meet these specifications, NCDOT shall adhere to Best Management Practices for the Protection. of Surface Waters, as supplemented with Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and Removal. In addition, all in-stream work shall be classified into one of three categories as follows: Case 1) In-water work is limited to an absolute minimum, due to the presence of special resource waters or threatened and/or endangered species, except for the removal of the portion of the sub-structure below the water. The work is carefully coordinated with the responsible agency to protect the Special Resource Water or T&E species. Case 2) No work at all in the water during moratorium periods associated with fish migration, spawning, and larval recruitment into nursery areas. Case 3) No special restrictions other than those outlined in Best Management Practices for Protection of Surface Waters. Case 3 applies to this bridge replacement project because Smith Creek has not been identified as a special resource water, is not associated with fish migration, spawning or larval recruitment, and is not known to contain any threatened or endangered species. The stream bed in the project area is nearly all sand and gravel. Therefore, conditions in the stream do not raise sediment concerns and a turbidity curtain is not recommended. 3. Buffer Rules As the project is located in the Neuse River Basin, Riparian Area Rules for Nutrient Sensitive Waters apply. The rules state that roads, bridges, stormwater - management facilities, ponds, and utilities may be allowed where no practical alternative exists. They also state that these structures shall be located, designed, constructed, and maintained to have minimal disturbance, to provide maximum erosion protection, to have the least adverse effects on aquatic life and habitat, and to protect water quality to the maximum extent practical through the use of best management practices. Every reasonable effort will be made to avoid and minimize wetland and stream impacts. The Authorization Certificate for Neuse Buffer Impacts will be requested along with the 401 Water Quality Certification. 17 4. Mitigation Because this project will likely be authorized under a Nationwide Permit, mitigation for impacts to surface waters may or may not be required by the USACE. In accordance with the Division of Water Quality Wetland Rules [15A NCAC 211 .0506 (h)] "Fill or alteration of more than one acre of wetlands will require compensatory mitigation; and fill or alteration of more than 150 linear feet (45.6 m) of streams may require compensatory mitigation." Because wetland impacts will be less than an acre, wetland mitigation likely will not be required. A total of 275 linear feet (83.3 m) of Smith Creek are located within the study corridor for the proposed project. If the final length of stream impact is greater than 150 linear feet (45.6 m), compensatory mitigation may be required. F. 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 Wake County, and any likely impacts to these species as a result of the proposed project construction, are discussed in the following sections. i. Federally Protected Species Plants and animals with a federal classification of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Proposed Endangered (PE), and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. The USFWS lists 4 species under federal protection for Wake County as of March 2002. These species are listed in Table 3. Table 3. Species Under Federal Protection for Wake County Common Name Scientific Name Federal Status ertebrates Bald eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus Threatened Red-cockaded woodpecker Picoides borealis Endangered Invertebrates Dwarf wedge mussel lasmidonta heterodon Endangered ascular Plants Michaux's sumac Rhus michauxii Endangered Notes: Endangered-A species that is threatened with extinction throughout all or significant portion of its range. Threatened-A species that is likely to become an endangered species withi the foreseeable future throu hout all or a si nificant ortion of its ran e. 18 A brief description of the characteristics and habitat requirements of each species follows, along with a conclusion regarding potential project impact. Hallaeetus leucocephalus (bald eagle) Threatened Family: Accipitridae Federally Listed: 1967 A large raptor, the bald eagle has a wingspread of about 7 feet (2.12 m). Its plumage is mainly dark brown, and adults have a pure white head and tail. First year juveniles are often chocolate brown to blackish, sometimes with white mottling on the tail, belly, and underwings. The head and tail become increasingly white with age until full adult plumage is reached in the fifth or sixth year. An opportunistic predator, the bald eagle feeds primarily on fish but also takes a variety of birds, mammals, and turtles (both live and as carrion) when fish are not readily available. The bald eagle is primarily riparian, associated with coasts, rivers, and lakes, usually nesting near bodies of water where it feeds. Selection of nesting sites varies tremendously depending on the species of trees growing in a particular area. In the Southeast, nests are constructed in dominant or codominant pines or cypress. Nests are usually constructed in living trees, but bald eagles will occasionally use dead ones. Biological Conclusion: No Effect No suitable nesting sites exist within the project area. Furthermore, Smith Creek is not large enough to provide an adequate food source for bald eagles. A review of the NHP files did not reveal any records of bald eagles in the project vicinity. It can be determined that the project will not impact this threatened species. Picoides borealis (red-cockaded woodpecker) Endangered Family: Picidae Federally Listed: 1970 The red-cockaded woodpecker is a small to medium sized bird about 8 inches (20.32 centimeters [cm]) long, with a wingspan of 13.8 to 14.96 inches (35 to 38 cm). There are black and white horizontal stripes on its back, and its cheeks and underparts are white. Its flanks are black streaked. The cap and stripe on the side of the neck and the throat are black. The male has a small red spot on each side of the black cap. After the first post-fledgling molt, fledgling males have a red crown patch. This woodpecker's diet is composed mainly of insects, which include ants, beetles, wood-boring insects, caterpillars, and corn earworms if available. About 16 to 18 percent of the diet includes seasonal wild fruit. 19 Open stands of pines with a minimum age of 80 to 120 years, depending on the site, provide suitable nesting habitat. Longleaf pines (Pious pa/ustris) are most commonly used, but other species of southern pine are also acceptable. Dense stands (stands that are primarily hardwood, or that have a dense hardwood understory) are avoided. Foraging habitat is provided in pine and pine hardwood stands 30 years old or older with foraging preference for pine trees 10 inches (25.4 cm) or larger in diameter. In good, well-stocked, pine habitat, sufficient foraging substrate can be provided on 80 to 125 acres (29.2 to 45.6 hectares). Biological Conclusion: No Effect Within the project area no suitable red-cockaded woodpecker habitat exists. These birds are not associated with hardwood riparian areas or hurnan- dominated maintained habitats. The pine plantation within the project area does not contain pine trees mature enough to contain nest cavities used by red- cockaded woodpeckers. A search of the NHP files did not reveal any records of red-cockaded woodpeckers in the project vicinity. It can be concluded that the project will not threaten this endangered species. Alasmidonta heterodon (dwarf wedge mussel) Threatened Family: Unionidae Federally Listed: 1990 The dwarf wedge mussel's shell rarely exceeds 1.5 in (3.81 cm) in length. It is also the only North American freshwater mussel that has two lateral teeth on the right valve, but only one on the left (Fuller, 1977). The female's shell is inflated in the back where the marsupial gills are located. Little is known about the species' life history and reproductive cycle. Gravid females have been observed from late August until June (Clarke, 1981). Like other freshwater mussels, this species' eggs are fertilized in the female as sperm passes through its gills; the resulting larvae then attach to a fish host. Although this host is still unknown, strong evidence suggests that it is an anadromous fish which migrates from the ocean into freshwater to spawn. The dwarf wedge mussel inhabits creek and river areas with a slow to moderate current and a sand, gravel, or muddy bottom. These areas must be nearly silt free. Four of the existing populations are located in North Carolina. One in the Little River (Johnston County); another on the Tar River (Granville County); and one each in two of the Tar River Tributaries (Franklin County). Biological Conclusion: No Effect A search of the NHP files did not reveal any records of dwarf wedge mussels occurring in the project vicinity. NCDOT biologists performed surreys for the dwarf wedge mussel on August 21, 2000. No mussels were found during the 20 u survey. Habitat in the vicinity of the bridge was determined to be somewhat degraded due to sediment loads. It can be concluded that this project will not impact this threatened species. Rhus michauxii (Michaux's sumac) Endangered Family: Anacardiaceae Federally Listed: 1989 Michaux's sumac or false poison sumac is a densely hairy shrub with erect stems, which are 1 to 3 feet (0.3-0.9 m) in height. The shrub's compound leaves are narrowly winged at their base, dull on their tops, and veiny and slightly hairy on their bottoms. Each leaf is finely toothed on its edges. Flowers are greenish- yellow to white and are 4-5 parted. Each plant is unisexual. With a male plant the flowers and fruits are solitary, with a female plant all flowers are grouped in 3 to 5 stalked clusters. The plant flowers from April to June; its fruit, a dull red drupe, is produced in October and November. Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils. Apparently, this plant survives best in areas where some form of disturbance has provided an open area. Eleven of the plant's 16 remaining populations are on highway rights-of way, roadsides, or on the edges of artificially maintained clearings. Two other populations are in areas with periodic fires, and two more populations exist on sites undergoing natural succession. One population is situated in a natural opening on the rim of a Carolina bay. Currently, the plant survives in the following North Carolina Counties: Richmond (6 populations); Hoke (3 populations); Scotland (2 populations); Franklin (1 population); Davie (1 population); Robeson (1 population); and Wake (1 population). Biological Conclusion: No Effect No habitat exists in the project area for Michaux's sumac. The soils in the project area are all acidic. A search of the NHP database found no occurrences of Michaux's sumac in the project vicinity. It can be concluded that the project will not impact this threatened species. 2. Federal Species of Concern 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. Table 4 includes FSC species listed for Wake County and their state classifications. Organisms which are listed as Endangered (E), Threatened (T), or Special Concern (SC) on the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program list of Rare Plant and Animal Species are afforded state protection under the State Endangered Species Act and the North Carolina Plant Protection and 21 Conservation Act of 1979. However, the level of protection given to state-listed species does not apply to NCDOT activities. Table 4.

The species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago. **=Obscure record. The date and/or location of observation is uncertain. Bog spicebush does not appear on the March 2002 USFWS list of protected species for Wake County, however this species is listed by the NC NHP on their website (last updated July 2001) as a Federal Species of Concern. John Finnegan, Data Systems Manager of the NC NHP, stated on August 21, 2001 that the NC NHP has one record of bog spicebush from northern Wake County in 1997. For this reason the bog spicebush remains on Table 4. No FSC species were observed during the site visit. No FSC species are recorded by the NHP as occurring within two miles of the project site. 3. Summary of Anticipated Impacts No impacts to federally protected species are anticipated. 22 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, implemented by the Advisory Council on - Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified at 36 CFR Part 800. Section 106 requires that for federally funded, licensed, or permitted projects having an effect on properties listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation be given the opportunity to comment. B. Historic Architecture A field survey of the Area of Potential Effect (APE) was conducted. All structures within the APE were photographed, and later reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). In a concurrence form dated February 17, 2000, the SHPO 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 November 16, 2000 recommended that archaeological site 31 WA305"'* be investigated for National Register eligibility. The investigation resulted in a determination that the site is not eligible for listing in the National Register. The SHPO concurred with the finding in their April 25, 2002 memorandum; which is included in the appendix to this categorical exclusion. VII. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS Anticipated impacts to the resources in the project area are described in this section. The project is considered to be a Federal "Categorical Exclusion" - because of its limited scope and insignificant environmental consequences. The project is expected to have an overall positive impact. Replacement of an inadequate bridge will result in safer traffic operations. The project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulation. No significant change in land use is expected to result from construction of the project. 23 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. No adverse effect on families or communities is anticipated. Right-of-way acquisition will be limited. There are no relocations. There are no publicly owned parks, 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 U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service. No prime or important farmlands will be impacted by the proposed project. In addition, the proposed project is anticipated to be limited to the existing right of way, and the land use adjacent to the project is residential. 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. The project is located in Wake County, which is within the Raleigh- Durharn nonattainment area for ozone (03) and carbon monoxide (CO) as defined by the EPA. The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) designated these areas as "moderate" nonattainment area for 03 and CO. However, due to improved monitoring data, these areas were redesignated as "maintenance" for 03 on June 17, 1994 and "maintenance" for CO on September 18, 1995. Section 176(c) of the CAAA requires that transportation plans, programs, and projects conform to the intent of the state air quality implementation plan (SIP). The current SIP does not contain any transportation control measures for Wake County. The Capital Area 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the 2002-2008 Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) has been determined to conform to the intent of the SIP. The USDOT air quality conformity approval for the LRTP was August 20, 1999 and the USDOT air quality conformity approval for the MTIP was October 1, 2001. The current conformity determination is consistent with the final conformity rule found in 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93. There has been no significant changes in the project's design concept or scope, as used in the conformity analyses. 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 significant. 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 SIP for air quality 24 f • in compliance with 15 NAACO 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 Division of Waste Management revealed neither underground storage tanks, hazardous waste sites, regulated or unregulated landfills, nor dump sites in the • project area. Wake County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Flood Insurance Study maps for Wake County show that Bridge No. 125 is located in a FEMA 100-year floodplain. Replacement of this bridge is not expected to affect the 100-year floodplain. The hydraulic opening of the proposed bridge is greater than that of the existing bridge. On the basis of the above discussions, it is concluded that no significant adverse environmental effects will result from implementation of this project. VIII.PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT A Citizens Informational Workshop was held from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on May 1, 2002, at the Wakefield Middle School. The Citizens Informational Workshop was a "drop-in" style workshop giving citizens an opportunity to meet "one-on-one" with project team member to ask questions and provide comments. The workshop was announced through "Notice of a Citizens Informational Workshop" in the News and Observer on April 18, 21, and 28; La Conexion April 22 and 29; the Independent Weekly on April 17 and 24. A Press Release was issued on April 24 and posted on the NCDOT website. A newsletter was mailed to property owners in the project area. Comments received at the workshop and later by mail expressed concern about the magnitude of community and commuter disruption that Alternative 3 may provide. • IX. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY There are no areas of controversy on this project. 25 X. AGENCY COMMENTS United States Department of Agriculture: Natural Resource Conservation Service. The Natural Resource Conservation Service has no comment at this time. North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. The Wildlife Resource Commission conducted a review of the project and is not aware of any _ threatened or endangered species in the project vicinity.

We have conducted a search of our files and are aware of no structures of historical or architectural importance located within the planning area. Historic period archaeological site 31 WA305** is located north of the existing bridge and may be affected by the proposed replacement project. Since this site has not been evaluated for National Register eligibility, we recommend that your staff archaeologists relocate site 31 WA305** and conduct investigations sufficient to determine eligibility if the site will be affected by the proposed bridge replacement. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.

For purposes of compliance with Section 10G of the National Historic Preservation Act, we concur that the following property is not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under criterion D: 31WA1525 This site lacks subsurface integrity, yielded no diagnostic lithic or ceramic material and is unlikely to contribute substantive information concerning prehistoric occupation of the area. Archaeological site 31WA305*~~ is located outside the Area of Potential Effect (APE) and therefore, warrants no additional archaeological investigation in connection with this project. While we concur with the author's recommendations for no additional investigation for this bridge replacement project, there are specific concerns and corrections that need to be addressed in preparation of the final report. These are attached for the author's information. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 10G of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.
