NCDOT Division 14, Federal Project No. STP-28(1), State Project No. 8.1970801, TIP No. R-2408A. $240.00 Debit work order 8.1970801, WBS Element 34427.1.1. Dear Sir: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes improvements of SR 1323 (Riverview Street) from the intersection of Iotla Street to NC 28 in Macon County. The existing cross section is a two-lane road with travel lane width of 11 feet and variable width shoulders. The road has substandard geometrics and an inadequate typical section. Travel lanes and shoulders are narrow and the vertical and horizontal alignments are deficient according to the current NCDOT design standards. Because of the mountainous terrain, the road has steep drop-offs and large inclines on opposite sides of the road. This makes it difficult to travel along this road with narrow lanes and sharp curves that limit a driver's sight distance. The corridor is also a preferred route for tractor trailer trucks. The proposed improvements consist of widening the current two-lane road to two 12-foot travel lanes with 8-foot shoulders (4-foot paved for bicycles). The total length of the project is approximately 0.9 mile long. There will be a total of 143 feet of MAILING ADDRESS: TELEPHONE: 919-733-3141 LOCATION: NC DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FAX: 919-733-9794 PARKER LINCOLN BUILDING, PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS 272$ CAPITAL BLVD., SUITE 24O 1548 MAIL SERVICE CENTER WEBSITE: WWW.DOH.DOT.STATE.NC.US RALEIGH NC 27604 RALEIGH NC 27699-1548 t r permanent impacts to two jurisdictional streams on this project. There are no wetlands in the project study area. Please find enclosed a copy of the permit drawings, roadway design plans and Rapanos jurisdictional determination forms for the subject project. IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES General Description: The project is located in the Little Tennessee River Basin within HUC 06010202. There are two jurisdictional water resources within the project area for R-2408A. These are UT1 and UT2 to the Little Tennessee River. The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources classifies Little Tennessee River and its tributaries as "C". The DWQ Index number for the portion of the Little Tennessee River and the UTs flow is 2-(1). UT1 is a perennial stream with an average baseflow of 2 feet and an average depth of 1 - 4 inches. UT2 is a perennial stream with a an average baseflow of 3 feet, with an average depth of 2 - 6 inches. Jurisdictional Delineations: All streams were deemed to be perennial and jurisdictional during a site visit by NCDOT staff on November 20, 2006. There are no jurisdictional wetlands in the project study area. For impacts to individual sites, refer to Impact Summary Table (Permit Sheet 2 of 12). Permanent Impacts: Permanent impacts for this project total 143 feet. • Site 1: located at station 28+5 -L- Rt. There will be 3 linear feet of permanent impacts to UT1 to Little Tennessee River due to the installation of a headwall to the upstream side. The current 24-inch pipe will be replaced with a 64-inch metal arch pipe of the same 43 feet in length. The pipe will be 43 feet in length and will replace the older structure without causing any permanent impacts. There is an 18-inch metal pipe that is currently tied into the 24-inch pipe by the landowner at a junction box on the downstream side. The junction box and 18-inch pipe will be removed and the stream daylighted. NCDOT proposes to use mitigation credit from this site for the B section, which is a separate permit application. • Site 2: located at station 41+58 -L-Rt. There will be 401inear feet of permanent impacts to UT2 to Little Tennessee River due to extension of the new pipe to accommodate the widening of the roadway. The current 76-inch x 55-inch metal arch pipe will be replaced with a 142-inch x 91-inch metal arch pipe. The new pipe will be extended from 52 feet to 92 feet. • Site 3: located at station 13+23 -Y1-. There will be 1001inear feet of permanent impacts to UT2 to Little Tennessee River due to pipe extension and addition of a headwall to the upstream side. The current 30-inch pipe is perched on the downstream side will be replaced by a 75-inch x 55-inch metal arch pipe. The new pipe will be 126 feet in length. The new pipe will be shifted to the south to allow better hydrologic conveyance and to allow for aquatic species passage. Temporary Impacts: Temporary impacts for this project tota10.01 acres. Page 2 of 6 • Site l :located at station 28+5 -L-Rt. There will be <0.01 acre of temporary impacts on the upstream side due to stream management during pipe installation. • Site 2: located at station 41+58-L-Rt. There will be <0.01 acre of temporary impacts on both sides due to stream management during pipe installation. • Site 3: located at station 13+23 -Y1-. There will be <0.01 acre of temporary impacts on both sides due to stream management during pipe installation. Utility Impacts: There will be no utility impacts associated with this project. Project Schedule: This project has a proposed let date of February 19, 2008 with a date of availability of Apri12, 2008. The review date for this project is January 1, 2008. NEPA DOCUMENT STATUS An Environmental Assessment (EA) was submitted by the NCDOT in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The EA was approved on Apri130, 2004 and covered both sections of the project. A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was approved on August 31, 2005. The EA explains the purpose and need for the project; provides a complete description of the alternatives considered; and characterizes the social, economic and environmental effects. After the EA was approved, it was circulated to the federal and local agencies. Copies of the EA and FONSI have been provided to regulatory review agencies involved in the approval process. Additional copies will be provided upon request. Per conversation with David Baker (USAGE) on June 21, 2007, as long as the A and B sections have independent utility, this project can be permitted as two separate projects. The subject project, R-2408A, is in compliance with 23 CFR Part 771.111(f) which lists the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) characteristics of independent utility of a project: 1. The project connects logical termini and is of sufficient length to address environmental matters on a broad scope. The proposed project continues improvements along Riverview Street from the intersection of Iotla Street to NC 28. 2. The project is usable and a reasonable expenditure, even if no additional transportation improvements are made in the area. The proposed improvements redirects traffic away from the section of NC 28 through downtown Franklin, alleviating traffic congestion in Franklin and assists local traffic movement. 3. The project does not restrict consideration of alternatives for other reasonably foreseeable transportation improvements, including minimal widening on the existing alignment. Page 3 of 6 FEDERALLY PROTECTED SPECIES Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered, Threatened, Proposed Endangered, and Proposed Threatened are protected under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. As of May 10, 2007, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists eight federally protected species for Macon County. Table 1 lists the species, their status and biological conclusion. Spotfin chub, Appalachian elktoe, and oyster mussel received a biological conclusion of Unresolved in the Environmental Assessment (EA)for R-2408 (dated September 2005). Surveys for the species have shown that the biological conclusion for spotfin chub, Appalachian elktoe, and oyster mussel is No Effect for the A section. It was determined that the largest UT on the A section was "very shallow and a high sediment load" and did not provide habitat to support these species. The Indiana bat received a biological conclusion of May Effect/Not Likely to Adversely Affect in the EA for R-2408. A subsequent survey of the A section was conducted on July 27, 2007 by Mary Frazer. It was determined that there was no good roosting habitat consisting of shaggy, sloughing bark trees or large snags in the project area that bats would use. A biological conclusion of No Effect was rendered for Indiana bat for R-2408A. The Rock gnome lichen has been added to the list for Macon County since the original EA was prepared. The proposed project is not expected to affect rock gnome lichen since elevations within the project study area range between 2000 to 2200 feet above MSL, below the reported minimum elevation of 5,000 feet above MSL for this species. Suitable habitat, consisting of vertical rock faces with a high humidity regime, was not identified within the project study area. A review of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database on February 27, 2007 showed no known occurrence of rock gnome lichen within three miles of the project study area. Table 1.

The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) reviewed the project area and, based on those photos commented (in a memo dated June 25, 2002) that the structures over fifty years of age "are not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places." This memo is found in Appendix 3 of the EA. There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area. AVOIDANCE, MINIMIZATION, AND MITIGATION Avoidance and Minimization: Avoidance examines all appropriate and practicable possibilities of averting impacts to "Waters of the United States". 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 stages; minimization measures were incorporated as part of the project design. • Best Management Practices will be followed for this project as outlined in "NCDOT's Best Management Practices for Construction and Maintenance Activities". • Currently piped streams will be improved to allow better hydrologic conveyance. • Due to the close proximity of the project to the Little Tennessee River, NCDOT will implement erosion and sedimentation control measures, as specified by NCDOT's "Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds". • New pipes will be buried approximately 12 inches below the stream bottom to allow natural stream bottom materials to become established following installation and to provide aquatic life passage during periods of low flow. • Site 1 will have an 18 inch pipe tied to the junction box on the downstream side removed and the stream daylighted Miti atg ion: There will be a total of 143 linear feet of permanent stream impacts associated with this project. There are no wetlands in the project area. No compensatory mitigation is proposed as the project impacts total less than 150 feet and will not impact HQW waters. REGULATORY APPROVALS Section 404 Permit: It is anticipated that the permanent impacts to UT1 and UT2 to Little Tennessee River will be authorized under a Section 404 Regional General Permit 198200031 (NCDOT Bridges). Application is hereby made for Department of the Army Regional General Permit 198200031 for the above-described activities. Page 5 of 6 Section 401 Certification: In compliance with Section 143-215.3D(e) of the NCAC we will provide $240.00 to act as payment for processing the Section 401 (General Certification Number 3627) permit application previously noted in this application (see Subject line). We are providing five copies of this application to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, for their review and approval. This project is located in a trout county, therefore comments from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) will be required prior to authorization by the Corps of Engineers. By copy of this letter and attachment, NCDOT hereby requests NCWRC review. NCDOT requests that NCWRC forward their comments to the Corps of Engineers and the NCDOT within 30 calendar days of receipt of this application. Thank you for your assistance with this project.

Explain: ' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below. Z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally" (e.g., typically 3 months). ~ Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F. SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below. 1. TNW Identify TNW: . Summarize rationale supporting determination: 2. Wetland adjacent to TNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent": Wetlands associated with UT1 is outside the study area of the project. B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY): This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met. The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round (perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section III.D.4. A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law. If the waterbody° is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.C below. Characteristics of non-TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW (i) General Area Conditions: Watershed size: 839 square miles Drainage area: 0.04 square miles Average annual rainfall: 54.4 inches Average annual snowfall: 15.2 inches (ii) Physical Characteristics: (a) Relationship with TNW: ® Tributary flows directly into TNW. ^ Tributary flows through 10 (or more] tributaries before entering TNW. Project waters are 30 (or more) river miles from TNW. Project waters are 1 (or less) river miles from RPW. Project waters are 30 (or more) aerial (straight) miles from TNW. Project waters are ! (or less) aerial (straight) miles from RPW. Project waters cross or serve as state boundaries. Explain: Identify flow route to TNWS: Note that the Instructional Guidebook contains additional information regarding swales, ditches, washes, and erosional features generally and in the acid West. s Flow route can be described by identifying, e.g., tributary a, which flows through the review area, to flow into tributary b, which then flows into TNW. Tributary stream order, if known: (b) General Tributary Characteristics (check all that annlv): Tributary is: ®Natural ^ Artificial (man-made). Explain: ^ Manipulated (man-altered).

Explain: the presence of litter and debris destruction of terrestrial vegetation the presence of wrack line sediment sorting scour multiple observed or predicted flow events abrupt change in plant community If factors other than the OHWM were used to determine lateral extent of CWA jurisdiction (check all that apply): High Tide Line indicated by: ^ Mean High Water Mark indicated by: ^ oil or scum line along shore objects ^ survey to available datum; ^ fine shell or debris deposits (foreshore) ^ physical markings; ^ physical markings/characteristics ^ vegetation lines/changes in vegetation types. ^ tidal gauges ^ other (list): (iii) Chemical Characteristics: Characterize tributary (e.g., water color is clear, discolored, oily film; water quality; general watershed characteristics, etc.). Explain: water clear. Identify specific pollutants, if known: 6A naturnl or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

Characteristics of all wetlands adjacent to the tributary (if any) Al] wetland(s) being considered in the cumulative analysis: Approximately (0.5) acres in total are being considered in the cumulative analysis. For each wetland, specify the following: Directlyabuts? (Y/N) Size (in acres) Directly abuts? (YM) Size (in acres) Y 0.5 Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed: The wetland located below the RPW provides adequate habitat for various species of fauna and flora. The wetland also provides adequate storage potential for various high rainfall events eliminating or at least providing a sort of water storage during storm events. This storage potential helps reduce both point and non-point source pollutants and increasing water quality. C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW. Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus. Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example: • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or biological integrity of the TNW? Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented below: Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D: Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into TNWs.

Explain: ~ Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below. Z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally" (e.g., typically 3 months). ~ Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F. a ~ SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below. 1. TNW Identify TNW: Summarize rationale supporting determination: Wetland adjacent to TNW Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent": B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY): This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanoshave been met. The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3 months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round (perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow, skip to Section III.D.4. A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law. If the waterbody° is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.C below. Characteristics of non-TNWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNW (i) General Area Conditions: Watershed size: square miles Drainage area: square miles Average annual rainfall: inches Average annual snowfall: inches (ii) Physical Characteristics: (a) Relationship with TNW: ^ Tributary flows directly into TNW. ^ Tributary flows through 10.

(iii) Chemical Characteristics: Characterize tributary (e.g., water color is clear, discolored, oily film; water quality; general watershed characteristics, etc.). Explain: Identify specific pollutants, if known: 6A nature] or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow regime (e.g., flow over a mck outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW. Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus. Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example: • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to cant' pollutants or flood waters to TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW? • Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that support downstream foodwebs? Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or biological integrity of the TNW? Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented below: 1.

Revised drawings of this site show the new pipe being buried at least 12-inches below the stream bottom (Sheet 13). This will allow natural stream bottom materials to become established following installation and provide aquatic passage during periods of low flow. Because of the slope of the new pipe (<6%), a dissipater pad will be installed on the downstream side of the pipe (Sheet 11). The addition of the dissipater pad will cause an increase of 24 feet of permanent impacts to this site. Permanent impacts at this Site 3 will increase to 124 feet. Permanent impacts for the entire project will increase to a total of 167 feet (See Permit Drawings Sheet 3). Miti ag tion The Ecosystem Enhancement Program will provide mitigation for 167 feet of permanent impacts (acceptance letter pending). Thank you for your assistance with this project.
