SUBJECT: Nationwide 23 and 33 Permit Application for the proposed
replacement of Bridge No. 7 over Yadkin River on NC 268.
Caldwell County, Federal Aid Project No. BRSTP-0268(9), WBS,
Element 33418.1.1, Division 11, T.I.P. No. B-4052.
Dear Mr. Matthews
Please find enclosed the Pre-construction Notification (PCN), permit drawings, and half-
size design plans for the above-mentioned project. A Categorical Exclusion (CE) was
completed for this project in August 2005 and distributed shortly thereafter. Additional
copies of the CE are available upon request. The North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) plans to replace the existing 106-long bridge, No. 7 with a new
152-foot long, 51-foot wide structure on the existing alignment. Traffic will use an onsite
detour during construction, as no reasonable offsite detour exists. There will be 19 linear
feet of permanent fill and <0.01 acre of temporary fill in an Unnamed Tributary (UT) to
the Yadkin River and 0.07 acre of temporary fill in the Yadkin River.
IMPACTS TO WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES
General Description: The project is located in the Yadkin River Basin (HUC 03040101)
and will impact the Yadkin River and an UT to the Yadkin River. The Yadkin River
(Index # 12-(1)) and the UT are assigned a best usage classification of "C Tr", by the
N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ). Yadkin River is not designated as a North
Carolina Natural or Scenic River, or as a National Wild and Scenic River. The Yadkin
River is listed on the 2006 Final 303(d) list for "Standard violation: turbidity." No
designated Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), Water Supply I (WS-I), or Water
Supply II (WS-II) waters occur within 1.0 mile of the project. No wetlands occur on the
project.

Permanent Impacts: Permanent stream impacts will occur, and total 19 feet. Impacts
occur from the replacement of an existing deteriorated 30" pipe in the UT to the Yadkin
River with a 54" reinforced concrete pipe.
Temporary Impacts: Temporary impacts of 0.07 acre of fill will occur in the Yadkin
River from the construction of two causeways that will be used to remove the old bridge
and construct the new bridge. After construction is complete, the causeways will be
completely removed and the project elevation will be restored to the original contours.
Only one causeway will be constructed at a time. 'The first causeway will be removed
before the second causeway is constructed. Included in the 0.07 acre are temporary
impacts of <0.01 acres that will occur in the UT to the Yadkin River from construction
access due to the replacement of the existing pipe.
Utility Impacts: No impacts will occur due to utility relocations. There is an existing
water line within the limits of this project and no sewer line. The water line is not in
conflict with the construction of the project and will remain in place.
There are two power poles in conflict with the construction of the project located to the
north and south of the bridge at the intersection of NC 268 and SR 1560. The northern
pole will be removed and the southern pole will be relocated within uplands.
There is one telephone pole in conflict with the construction of the project located to the
north of the bridge. This pole will be removed and placed to the south of the bridge
within uplands.
Bridge Demolition: Bridge No. 7 consists of a steel plank floor on I-beams. The
substructure consists of concrete abutments and piers. Removal of the substructure will
result in up to 39 square feet of temporary impacts. Best Management Practices for
Bridge Demolition and Removal will be implemented.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
Historic Architecture: The Woods Barber-Shop is an historic property eligible for the
National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A for Social History. The proposed
project will require use of the historic property and removal of the structure from the
property. The NCDOT, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO), jointly determined that the project would have an adverse
effect on the Woods Barber-Shop.
In accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, a
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between SHPO, FHWA, and NCDOT has been
developed, which details measures to mitigate the Adverse Effect upon the Woods
Barber-Shop. The measures are listed below:
• Prior to removal and relocation of the Woods Barber Shop, NCDOT shall record
the existing condition of the property and its surroundings in accordance with the
Page 2

attached Historic Structures and Landscape Recordation Plan. The NCDOT-
Human Environment Unit has recorded the existing conditions of the property.
• NCDOT will provide funding to the Happy Valley Ruritan Club for the purpose of
stabilizing the Barber Shop and relocating the building on the new site, which is
located approximately 1,500 feet from the existing site. Funds were transferred
from the NCDOT to the Happy Valley Ruritan Club on September 14, 2007 for
the purpose of stabilizing and moving the building.
• NCDOT will erect an historic marker near the existing site indicating that the
Woods Barber Shop has been relocated from its original site to a new site. The
NCDOT will erect an historic marker following project completion.
Archaeology: The SHPO recommended that a comprehensive archeological survey be
conducted prior to construction. An archeological survey was conducted which identified
archeological site 31CW353**. The NCDOT determined that the site was not eligible for
the National Register of Historic Properties and recommended no further archeological
surveys be conducted. The SHPO concurred with this recommendation in letters dated
September 13, 2005 and January 18, 2006. Copies of these letters are available upon
request.
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
US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) lists five federally protected species for Caldwell
County (Table 1). The Virginia big-eared bat has been added to the list of federally
protected species that occur in Caldwell County since the completion of the CE. A
habitat analysis assessment was conducted for the Virginia big-eared bat on April 19,
2006. The project does not contain the preferred habitat for the Virginia big-eared bat.
Therefore, the biological conclusion for the Virginia big-eared bat is "No Effect." The
bog turtle is listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance and does not require a
biological conclusion. The biological conclusions of No Effect reached for the other
three federally protected species in the CE remains valid.

AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
The NCDOT is committed to incorporating all reasonable and practicable design features
to avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts, and to provide full compensatory mitigation
of all remaining, unavoidable jurisdictional impacts. Avoidance measures were taken
during the planning and NEPA compliance stages; minimization measures were
incorporated as part of the project design and include:
• The new bridge and temporary detour will completely span the channel.
• The new bridge will be longer than the existing bridge.
• Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and Removal will be followed.
• No deck drains will be placed over the water.
• The Project will adhere to Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds.
• Two Preformed Scour Holes will be constructed.
COMPENSATORY MITIGATION
No mitigation will be conducted because permanent impacts are minimal and less than
150 feet.
MORATORIUM
In a letter dated August 27, 2003, the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC)
requested a moratorium for small mouth bass. However, this species is not afforded
federal or state protection in Waters of the US in NC. Additionally, the in water
construction phase of the proposed project will not significantly affect the small mouth
bass. In fact, imposing a moratorium for this species could result in increased
construction costs and a longer overall construction period, resulting in a longer sustained
effect on the environment. Therefore, the NCDOT does not believe this moratorium is
warranted and does not propose to adhere to it. The WRC stated in an email dated June
10, 2004 that a moratorium for Trout would not be required.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
The project is scheduled to let May 20, 2008 and has a review date of April 1, 2008.
REGULATORY APPROVALS
Section 404 Permit: This project has been processed by the Federal Highway
Administration as a "Categorical Exclusion." NCDOT is hereby applying for a Clean
Water Act Section 404 Nationwide Permit. It is anticipated that the construction will be
authorized under Section 404 Nationwide Permits 23 and 33.
Section 401 Permit: We anticipate 401 General Certification number 3632 and 3634 will
apply to this project. All general conditions of the Water Quality Certifications will be
met. Therefore, in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H, Section .0500(a), we are providing
two copies of this application to the DWQ for their records.
This project is located in a trout county, therefore comments from the WRC will be
required prior to authorization by the Corps of Engineers. By copy of this letter and
Page 4

attachment, NCDOT hereby requests WRC Review. NCDOT requests that WRC 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. If you have any questions or need
additional information, please contact Brett Feulner at [e-mail] or
[phone].
A copy of this permit application will be posted on the DOT website at:

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
Page 5 of 8

including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's

SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENTS
Roadside Environmental and Division 11:
Sedimentation and Erosion Control for Sensitive Watersheds (15A NCAC 4B.0124) will be
incorporated into the design and followed during the construction of this project.
Structure Desitn and Traffic En~ineerin~:
The bridge will be designed and constructed to include accommodations across the bridge for
pedestrian/bicycleuse. This will consist of providing an 8-foot offset to the rail on both sides of the
bridge and bicycle safe rail. These accommodations would serve the proposed greenway, which will
follow the Yadkin River. A pedestrian actuated signal will be considered at a future date to provide
for the proposed greenway crossing of NC 268 at the west end of the bridge.
Division 11 and Proiect Services:
The Yadkin River is classified C Tr but supports smallmouth bass and redbreast sunfish in the
project area. A moratorium will be adhered to prohibiting in-stream work from May 1 to July 15 to
protect the egg and fry stages of smallmouth bass. No trout moratorium will be observed.
Project Development and Environmental Analysis:
In accordance with a request from the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, a
comprehensive archaeological survey will be conducted at the project site prior to project
construction.

Proiect Development and Environmental Analysis, Proiect Services, and Division 11:
Prior to the removal and relocation of the Woods Barber Shop, NCDOT shall record the existing
condition of the property and its surroundings in accordance with the Historic Structures and
Landscape Recordation Plan included in the Section 106 Memorandum of Agreement.
NCDOT will provide funding to the Happy Valley Ruritan Club for the purpose of stabilizing the
Barber Shop and relocating the building to a new site. The Ruritan Club proposes to rehabilitate the
building on the new site, which is located approximately 1500 feet from the existing site.
NCDOT will erect a historical marker near the existing site indicating that the Woods Barber Shop
has been relocated from its original site to a new site.

INTRODUCTION: The replacement of Bridge No. 7 is included in the Draft 2006-2012
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
as a Federal-Aid Bridge Replacement. The location is shown in Figure 1. No substantial
environmental impacts are anticipated. The project is classified as a Federal "Categorical
Exclusion"(CE).
I. PURPOSE AND NEED STATEMENT
The existing bridge, built in 1957, is functionally obsolete. The bridge has steel plank flooring,
which is a type of flooring that must be replaced when it begins to deteriorate. According to the
Bridge Maintenance Unit at NCDOT, at the time the bridge was last inspected on January 10, 2002,
the bridge sufficiency rating was 46.8 out of a possible 100 for a new structure. The bridge is posted
with a weigh limit of 14 tons for single vehicles and 29 tons for truck tractor- semi-trailers (TTST).
The replacement of this inadequate structure will eliminate continuous maintenance problems and
result in safer, more efficient traffic operations. The replacement structure will allow for the removal
of the restrictive posted load limits for trucks.

II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
NC 268 is a two-lane highway. The functional classification is Rural Major Collector. During
construction of the proposed bridge, traffic will be maintained on site. The speed limit along NC 268
is posted at 35 mph. NC 268 has a 90° turn immediately west of the bridge at its intersection with
SR 1560. This intersection is currently stop sign controlled. The project vicinity is rural residential
and commercial. Happy Valley Elementary School is located on SR 1560, just north of the bridge.
The horizontal alignment of NC 268 is tangent for a distance of about 500 feet beyond the east end
of the bridge. There is no approach west of the bridge since the road tees into NC 268/SR 1560. The
paved portion of the approach roadway is 24 feet wide. The width of the grass shoulders is
approximately 4 feet. NCDCT maintains a right of way width of 40 feet, symmetrical about the
centerline of the existing roadway.
The existing bridge was completed in 1957. The superstructure consists of a steel plank floor on I-
beams. The substructure consists of concrete abutments and piers. It is 106 feet long and has a clear
roadway width of 28 feet. This provides for two 12-foot travel lanes and 2-foot offsets to the curb.
The bridge crosses the Yadkin River at an approximate 90° angle. Photographs of the existing bridge
are included in Figures 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D.
The Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) volume for the year 2002 is estimated to be 5400
vehicles per day (VPD) and is projected to increase to 10,200 VPD in the year 2025. The percentages
of tractor truck-semi-trailer (TTST) and dual tired trucks (DTT) are estimated to be 3 percent and 1
percent, respectively.
Five accidents have been recorded in the vicinity of the bridge over a recent three-year period. Four
of these accidents occurred at the intersection of NC 268 and SR 1560 (Yadkin River Road) located
at the west end of Bridge No. 7 and a fifth accident occurred on NC 268 approximately 1500 feet
east of the bridge involving a rear end collision. The four accidents at the end of the bridge are
described as follows: An accident occurred when a vehicle traveling south on SR 1560 failed to
2

make the turn to NC 268 and hit the bridge rail. An accident occurred, when a westbound vehicle on
NC 268 failed to stop at the stop sign and collided with a vehicle making a left turn from SR 1560 to
NC 268 eastbound. An accident occurred when a vehicle making a left turn from SR 1560 to NC
268 collided head on with a vehicle on NC 268 going straight to SR 1560. An accident occurred
when, after two vehicles traveling westbound on NC 268 had stopped at the stop sign, the first
vehicle backed up and hit the other vehicle.
The Caldwell County School Transportation Director has been contacted in regard to the proposed
bridge replacement. Two school buses (four crossings) are routed on the bridge. The Director
advised that considerable public opposition would occur if the bridge were closed to traffic and an
on-site detour is not provided (see Appendix A). Caldwell County Emergency Management stated
that emergency services could be maintained should anoff-site detour be provided (see Appendix A).
According to Caldwell County, NC 268 is the most bicycle-used highway in Caldwell County. The
river crossing is to be the trail-head of a proposed multi-purpose path, and this is expected to
increase bicycle and pedestrian activity at this location. This site is also the route of the Over
Mountain Victory Trail and a scenic byway. The trail is also proposed to accommodate equestrian
users. The Caldwell County Commissioners requestedconsideration of apedestriancrossing/bicycle
lane for the subject project (see letter in Appendix A).
The land use in the project vicinity is residential and commercial.
There are no utilities attached to the bridge. There are both underground utilities and above ground
utilities located in proximity of the bridge and maybe affected by the proposed project. A water line
is located on NC 268 and SR 1560 on the west edge of the shoulder.
Research of public records and anon-site inspection did not indicate any evidence of the presence of
hazardous/toxic material in the immediate project area. An active gas station is located on the south
side of NC 268 just east of the existing bridge. The Department of Environmental and Natural
3

Resources, Division of Waste Management lists four registered underground storage tanks (USTs) at
this facility.
III. ALTERNATIVES
A. Project Description
Bridge No. 7 will be replaced with a new bridge at or near the existing bridge. The proposed
design speed is 40 mph. The grade on the proposed structure will be approximately the same as
the existing bridge. The new structure will be approximately 145 feet long and have a 52-foot
clear roadway width. The 52-foot width includes three 12-foot travel lanes and 8-foot offsets to
the bridge rail. No sidewalks are proposed, but the 8-foot lateral offsets will accommodate
pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian traffic. The bridge typical section is shown on Figure 3. The
proposed bridge will have two-bar bicycle safe rail.
The south approach to the bridge and the intersection of SR 1560 and NC 268 will include the
addition of a 12-foot wide right-turn lane. The typical sections for the roadway portion of the
project are shown in Figure 3.
Traffic will be maintained on a temporary detour at the existing site during the construction
period, which is expected to be approximately one year.
B. Build Alternatives
Three build alternatives were studied as described below. A comparison of impacts is included
below and cost comparisons for the three alternatives are included in Table 1, Section V.
4

Alternative 1 would provide for traffic during construction by a temporary bridge located on the
downstream (south side) of the existing bridge. Alternative 1 is shown on Figure 4A. Alternative
1 would involve property from the Woods Barber Shop, a Section 4(f) resource. Altemative 1
could be designed to avoid the removal of Woods Barber Shop, but only with severe design
exceptions that are not recommended. Also, Alternative 1 would require the relocation of the
nearby convenience store's underground fuel storage tanks and canopy. Alternative 1 was not
selected because of its impacts to the underground storage tanks.
Alternative 2 (Preferred) will provide for traffic during construction by a temporary bridge
located on the upstream (north side) of the existing bridge. Alternative 2 is shown on Figure 4B.
Alternative 2 will avoid the relocation of the convenience store's underground fuel storage tanks
and canopy, but would require the removal of Woods Barber Shop.
Alternative 3 would involve phased stage-construction of the bridge. Alternative 3 is shown on
Figure 4C. The existing bridge would provide for traffic during construction, while a staged,
two-lane portion of the permanent bridge would be constructed on the downstream (south side)
of the existing bridge. Upon completion of the staged, two-lane portion of the permanent bridge,
traffic would be re-routed to it and the existing bridge removed. The remaining portion of the
three-lane permanent bridge would then be completed. This alternative is the most expensive
alternative and would require the relocation of the convenient store's underground fuel storage
tanks and canopy and the removal of Woods Barber Shop.

C. Alternatives Eliminated from Further Study
The following alternatives were eliminated from further study.
A major relocation alternative was investigated, which would relocate NC 268 south of the
existing bridge. It would result in a new crossing of the Yadkin River and floodplain
approximately 1000 feet south of the existing bridge. Because the existing crossing of the Yadkin
River is located at the most narrow crossing of the floodplain and the floodplain widens
significantly south, a bridge length of approximately 750 feet would be required. This alternative
would cause greater impact on the floodplain and require a floodway modification. It would
require additional roadway and bridge lengths totaling approximately 2000 feet, which is beyond
the scope of the proposed bridge replacement project. Because the existing bridge would be
removed upon completion of the major relocation of NC 268, the relocated portion of existing
NC 268 east of the existing bridge would convert to a dead end road. The underground fuel
storage tanks would not be impacted but the convenience store would likely be economically
impacted. This avoidance alternative is not a feasible and prudent alternative.
6

An alternative was considered which would close the bridge to traffic, use an available off-site
detour and replace the new bridge at the existing site. The available detour was investigated and
was found to be unfeasible. The available detour would be composed of SR 1519 and SR 1515.
SR 1515 is unpaved and has a narrow posted bridge. SR 1519 is paved but has unsuitable
alignment and a narrow posted bridge with poor sight distance approaching the bridge. The
detour route would be unacceptable for over 5,000 vehicles per day and for two schools in the
area. This alternative would also impact Woods Barber Shop due to its proximity to the end of
the existing bridge.
Rehabilitation of the existing, deteriorating bridge is neither practical nor economically feasible.
It would require significant repairs to the superstructure because of the type of floor decking.
Also, the substantial investment in replacing the superstructure over the bridge's substructure
built in 1957 would not address the need for a wider, safer bridge.
The "do-nothing" alternate is not feasible. This would require the closing of the road as the
existing bridge deteriorates to a point where it is unsafe at any posted weight limits.
D. Preferred Alternative
Alternative 2, replacing the permanent bridge at the existing location is the preferred alternative
(see Figure 4B). During construction, traffic will be maintained by an on-site detour. The on-
site detour is to be located upstream (north side) of the existing bridge. Alternative 2 was
selected because it will cost effectively meets the project's objective and avoid impacts to the
underground storage tanks. As mitigation for impacts to the historic Woods Barber Shop,
NCDOT will stabilize and relocate the structure to another site nearby. For more information,
see Sections VII and IX.

The project is estimated to cost $1,501,500. A breakdown of the estimated cost is shown in Item
V, Table 1 Estimated Costs.
The new structure will be approximately 145 feet long and 52 feet wide. This width is measured
between the inside of the bridge rail. The 52-foot width includes three 12-foot travel lanes and
8-foot offsets to the bridge rail. The bridge typical section is shown on Figure 3. Roadway
approach work will extend approximately 200 feet (NC 268 only) from the ends of the bridge.
The approach roadways consist of a 24-foot pavement and an 8-foot shoulder section (including
4-foot wide full depth paved). An additional 12-foot wide turn lane will be provided on the
south approach. The roadway typical section is shown on Figure 3.
The proposed design speed is 40 miles per hour. The posted speed limit is 35 mph.
The NCDOT Division 11 Engineer has reviewed the proposed project and concurs with the
recommended replacement.
The local officials have been made aware of the project and concur with the recommended
replacement.

VI. NATURAL RESOURCES
A. General
A study was performed to inventory and describe the various natural resources likely to be
impacted by the proposed action. Assessments of the nature and severity of probable impacts to
these natural resources are provided, along with recommendations for measures that will
minimize resource impacts.
1. Methodology
Prior to the field investigation published resource information pertaining to the project study
area was gathered and reviewed. The information sources used to prepare this report include:
• U.S. Geological Survey (iJSGS) quadrangle map (Lenoir);
• Soil Survey of Caldwell County, North Carolina (1989);
• United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory Map;
• USFWS list of protected species (February 25, 2003);
• North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database of rare species and
unique habitats (May 2003);
• North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) aerial photography of the
project study area (1 inch=100 feet); and
• North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) water resource data.
A general field survey was conducted within the project study area on July 13, 2001. Water
resources were identified and their physical characteristics were recorded. Terrestrial
community classifications generally follow Schafale and Weakley (1990) where possible,
and plant taxonomy follows Radford, et al. (1968). Vegetative communities were mapped
10

utilizing aerial photography of the project site. Wildlife was identified using a variety of
observation techniques including active searching, visual observations with binoculars, and
identifying characteristic signs of wildlife (sounds, tracks, scat, and burrows). Cursory
surveys for aquatic organisms, including tactile searches for benthic macroinvertebrates,
were performed as well.
Investigation into wetland occurrence in the project study area was conducted using methods
outlined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental
Laboratory, 1987).
The project study area is identified as an area approximately 140 feet (43 meters) wide and
approximately 700 feet in length along NC 268 north of the bridge.
B. Physical Resources
1. Physiography and Soils
The project lies within the western Piedmont Physiographic Province. The topography of the
project vicinity is characterized as rolling hills with moderate to steeply sloping banks along
the major streams. Elevations in the project vicinity range from approximately 1,200 to
1,400 feet above mean sea level (msl). The elevation in the project study area varies from
approximately 1,200 to 1,240 feet above msl.
According to the general soil map for Caldwell County (USDA, 1989), the project study area
is found within the Chewacla-Masada-Congree soil association. The soils are described as
nearly level to strongly sloping, somewhat poorly drained to well-drained soils that have
loamy or clayey subsoil. Soil series found within the project study area are described below.
Chewacla loam, occasionally flooded, is located along the Yadkin River. This soil is a nearly
11

level, somewhat poorly drained soil found on floodplains along streams. Surface runoff is
slow to ponded and permeability is moderate. This soil is subject to occasional, brief
flooding. Chewacla loam has hydric inclusions of Wehadkee soils in depressions.
Rion sandy loam, 25 to 40 percent slopes, is located in a small area to the east of Chewacla
loam. Rion sandy loam is swell-drained soil found on side slopes of uplands. Surface runoff
is very rapid and the hazard of erosion is severe in unvegetated, exposed areas. Permeability
is moderate. This mapping unit is not listed on the hydric soils list.
Cecil sandy loam, eight to 15 percent slopes, eroded, is mapped in the eastem end of the
project study area. This soil is swell-drained soil found on broad, smooth ridges on uplands.
Surface runoff is medium, and the hazard of erosion is severe in unvegetated areas.
Permeability is moderate. This mapping unit is not listed on the hydric soils list.
Pacolet fine sandy loam, 25 to 40 percent slopes, is also located in the eastern end of the
project study area. This soil is swell-drained soil found onside slopes of uplands. Surface
runoff is very rapid, and the hazard of erosion is severe in unvegetated areas. Permeability is
moderate. This mapping unit is not listed on the hydric soils list.
2. Water Resources
The proposed project falls within the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin, with a subbasin
designation of 03-07-O1. Waters within the project study area include the Yadkin River.
a. Water Resource Characteristics
The Yadkin River flows south through the proposed project study area with a width of
approximately 60 feet. The flow was moderate on the day of the field investigation. The
substrate consisted of sand and silt with some gravel and cobbles; bedrock outcroppings
12

were located under the bridge and in several areas upstream of the bridge. The water was
clear and shallow. The depth of the water ranged from a few inches in the riffles to over
one foot in the pools.
Streams have been assigned a best usage classification by the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) [formerly the Division of Environmental Management (DEM)],
which reflects water quality conditions and potential resource usage. Within the project
study area, the classification for Yadkin River is "C Tr". Class "C" waters are suitable
for secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish and aquatic life propagation and survival,
and agriculture. "Tr"denotes trout waters and is a supplemental classification to protect
freshwaters for natural trout propagation and survival of stocked trout. The classification
date and index number for this portion of the river is 4/15/63, 12-(1).
No waters classified as High Quality Waters (HQW), Water Supplies (WS-I:
undeveloped watershed, or WS-II: predominately undeveloped watersheds), or
Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) occur within one mile of the project study area.
Point sources, such as wastewater discharges, located throughout North Carolina are
permitted through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
program. One NPDES permitted facility is located within one mile of the project study
area. Caldwell County School -Happy Valley (NC0041181) is located approximately
one mile upstream of the project study area. The facility is permitted to discharge
domestic effluent.
Non-point source refers to runoff that enters surface waters through stormwater flow or
no defined point of discharge. Stormwater runoff from the surrounding residential and
commercial properties as well as NC 268 may reach the Yadkin River and cause water
quality degradation through the addition of oil or gas residuals, particulate rubber, or
other sources of contamination.
13

The Basinwide Monitoring Program, managed by the DWQ, is part of an ongoing
ambient water quality monitoring program that addresses long-term trends in water
quality. The program monitors ambient water quality by sampling at fixed sites for
selected benthic macroinvertebrates, which are sensitive to water quality conditions.
Samples are evaluated on the number of taxa present of intolerant groups
[Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera (EPT)] and a taxa richness value (EPT S) is
calculated. A biotic index value is also calculated for the sample that summarizes
tolerance data for all species in each collection. The two rankings are given equal weight
in final site classification. The biotic index and taxa richness values primarily reflect the
effects of chemical pollution and are a poor measure of the effects of such physical
pollutants as sediment. Stream and river reaches are assigned a final bioclassification of
Excellent, Good, Good/Fair, Fair, or Poor.
According to the information obtained from the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basinwide Water
Quality Management Plan (NCDENR,1998), the DWQ does have a sampling station on
Yadkin River at the project site. The station was last sampled in July 1996 and received
a rating of Good.
b. Anticipated Impacts to Water Resources
Impacts to water resources in the project study area are likely to result from activities
associated with project construction, such as clearing and grubbing on streambanks,
riparian canopy removal, instream construction, fertilizers and pesticides used in
revegetation, and pavement construction. The following impacts to surface water
resources are likely to result from the above-mentioned construction activities:
• Increased sedimentation and siltation downstream of the crossing and increased
erosion in the project study area;
14

r
species described. Subsequent references to the same species include the common name only.
1. Terrestrial Communities
The predominant terrestrial communities found in the project study area are
maintained/disturbed, riparian forest, and dry oak-hickory forest. Dominant faunal
components associated with these terrestrial areas are discussed in each community
description. Many species are adapted to the entire range of habitats found within the prof ect
study area but may not be mentioned separately in each community description.
a. Maintained/Disturbed Community
The maintained/disturbed community includes the road shoulders and power line right-
of-way. Many plant species are adapted to these disturbed and regularly maintained areas.
The dominant species within the project study area include fescue (Festuca sp.), ryegrass
(Lolium sp.), white clover (Trifolium repens), thistle (Cirsium sp.), grape vine (Vitis sp.),
foxtail (Setaria sp.), cinquefoil (Potentilla sp.), aster (Aster sp.), wild onion (Allium
cernuum), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), blackberry (Rubus sp.), and plantain
(Plantago sp.).
The animal species present in these disturbed habitats are opportunistic and capable of
surviving on a variety of resources, ranging from vegetation (flowers, leaves, fruits, and
seeds) to both living and dead faunal components. An Eastern mole (Scalopus
aquaticus), Eastern Phoebe (Sayornis phoebe), and Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura)
were observed during the site visit in these areas. Other species such as striped skunk
(Mephitis mephitis), House Sparrow (Passer domesticus), Eastern Bluebird (Sialia
sialis), Brown Thrasher (Toxostoma rufum), and five-lined skink (Eumeces fasciatus) are
often attracted to these disturbed habitats.
16

b. Riparian Forest Community
This community is found in a small area on the east side of the Yadkin River, between
the power line easement and NC 268. The vegetation in this area includes black walnut
(Juglans nigra), black cherry (Prunus serotina), black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia),
mulberry (Morus rubra), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), greenbrier (Smilax sp.), and
grape vme.
Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) tracks and raccoon (Procyon lotor) tracks were observed
in this community on the day of the site visit.
c. Dry Oak-Hickory Forest Community
This community is found in the eastern end of the project study area along the hillside.
The canopy layer includes white oak (Quercus alba), Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus),
tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple (Ater rubrum), pignut hickory (Carya
glabra), black cherry, and black walnut. The understory consists of dogwood (Cornus
florida) and sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum). The herbaceous layer is sparse and
includes common greenbrier (Smilax rotundifolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans),
and honeysuckle (Lonicera sp.).
On the day of the site visit, a Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) was observed in
this community. Other species which may reside or forage in these areas include Song
Sparrow (Melospiza melodia), Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor), White-breasted
Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis), Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata), gray squirrel (Sciurus
carolinensis), Eastern box turtle (Terrapene Carolina Carolina), and Eastern cottontail
(Sylvilagus floridanus).
17

2. Aquatic Communities
The aquatic community in the project study area includes the Yadkin River. Vegetation
along the riverbanks included sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), ironwood (Carpinus
caroliniana), yellow birch (Betula lutea), sugar maple (Ater saccharum), black locust, red
maple, day lily (Hemerocallis fulva), wild hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens),blackberry,
and greenbrier. Species such as the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) and dusky salamander
(Desmognathus fuscus) may reside or forage within this aquatic community or along the
water's edge. Stoneflies (Plecoptera), mayflies (Ephemeroptera), and caddisflies
(Trichoptera) were found under stones and woody debris in the river.
According to Mr. Doug Besler, District 8 Biologist for the North Carolina Wildlife Resource
Commission (NCWRC), fish species that are likely to be found in this area of the Yadkin
River include bluehead chub (Nocomis leptocephalus), rosyside dace (Clinostomus
funduloides), mottled sculpin (Cottus bairda~, and blacknose dace (Rhinichthys atratulus).
According to the NCWRC, in correspondence dated August 27, 2003 (attached in Appendix
A), the Yadkin River is classified C Tr but supports small bass and redbreast sunfish in the
project area. A moratorium prohibiting in-stream work is recommended from May 1 to July
15 to protect the egg and fry stages of smallmouth bass. Sediment and erosion control
measures will adhere to the design standards for sensitive watersheds.
3. Summary of Anticipated Impacts to Biotic Communities
Biotic community impacts resulting from project construction are addressed separately as
terrestrial impacts and aquatic impacts. Impacts to terrestrial communities, particularly in
locations exhibiting slopes, can result in the aquatic community receiving heavy
18

sediment loads as a consequence of erosion. Construction impacts may not be restricted
to the communities in which the construction activity occurs.
a. Terrestrial Communities
The dry oak-hickory forest, riparian forest, and maintained/disturbed communities serve
as nesting, foraging, and shelter habitat for fauna. Removal of plants and other
construction related activities would result in the displacement and mortality of faunal
species in residence. Individual mortalities are likely to occur to terrestrial animals from
construction machinery used during clearing activities.
Project construction will result in clearing and degradation of portions of these
communities. Often, project construction does not require the use of the entire right-of-
way; therefore, actual impacts may be considerably less.
b. Aquatic Communities
Impacts to the aquatic commurvity of Yadkin River will result from the replacement of
Bridge No. 7. Impacts are likely to result from the physical disturbance of the aquatic
habitat. Activities such as the removal of trees, as well as the construction of the bridge
and approach work will likely result in an increase in sediment loads and water
temperatures and a decrease in dissolved oxygen. Construction activities can also
increase the possibility of toxins, such as engine fluids and particulate rubber, entering
the waterways. The combination of these factors can potentially cause the displacement
and mortality of fish and local populations of invertebrates, which inhabit these areas.
Impacts to aquatic communities will be minimized by strict adherence to BMPs.
19

C. Special Topics
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). Waters of the United States are regulated by the United States
Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE).
Investigation into wetland occurrence in the project impact area .was conducted using
methods outlined in the 1987. Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987). No jurisdictional wetlands were found within the project
study area.
Project construction cannot be accomplished without infringing on jurisdictional surface
waters. Anticipated surface water impacts fall under the jurisdiction of the USAGE.
2. Permits
In accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), a permit is
required from the USAGE for projects of this type for the discharge of dredged or fill
material into "Waters of the United States".
A Nationwide Permit 23 is likely to be applicable for all impacts to Waters of the United
States resulting from the proposed project. This permit authorizes activities undertaken,
assisted, authorized, regulated, funded or financed, in whole or part, by another federal
agency or department where that agency or department has determined, pursuant to the
Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulation for the Implementing the Procedural
Provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act:
20

(1) that 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 environment, and
(2) the office of the Chief of Engineers has been furnished notice of the agency's or
department's application for the categorical exclusion and concurs with that determination.
A Nationwide Permit 33 will be required since anon-site temporary detour is needed during
construction of Bridge No. 7. This permit authorizes temporary structures, work and
discharges, including cofferdams, necessary for construction activities or access fills or
dewatering of construction sites; provided the associated primary activity is authorized by the
USACE or the U.S. Coast Guard, or for other construction activities not subject to the
USACE or U.S. Coast Guard regulations.
A 401 Water Quality Certification, administered through the DWQ, will also be required.
This certification is issued for any activity, which may result in a discharge into waters for
which a federal permit is required.
a. Bridge Demolition
NCDOT's BMP for Bridge Demolition (Case 2) will be implemented. The removal of
concrete abutments and piers may create some disturbance in the streambed. The
substructure consists of concrete piers and abutments and an estimated 137 cubic yards of
concrete will need to be removed.
21

b. Mitigation
The USACE has adopted, through the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), a wetland
mitigation policy which embraces the concept of "no net loss of wetlands" and sequencing.
The purpose of this policy is to restore and maintain the chemical, biological, and physical
integrity of waters of the United States, specifically wetlands. Mitigation of wetland
impacts has been defined by the CEQ to include: avoiding impacts, minimizing impacts,
rectifying impacts, reducing impacts over time, and compensating for impacts (40 CFR
1508.20). Each of these three aspects (avoidance, minimization, and compensatory
mitigation) must be considered sequentially.
Avoidance -Avoidance examines all appropriate and practicable possibilities of averting
impacts to waters of the United States. According to a 1990 Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA) between the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the USACE, in
determining "appropriate and practicable" measures to offset unavoidable impacts, such
measures should be appropriate to the scope and degree of those impacts and practicable in
terms of cost, existing technology, and logistics in light of overall project purposes.
Minimization -Minimization includes examination of appropriate and practicable steps to
reduce adverse impacts to waters of the United States. Implementation of these steps will
be required through project modifications and permit conditions. Minimization typically
focuses on decreasing the footprint of the proposed project through reduction of median
widths, right-of--way widths, fill slopes and/or road shoulder widths.
Compensatory Mitigation -Compensatory mitigation is not normally considered until
anticipated impacts to waters of the United States have been avoided and minimized to the
maximum extent possible. It is recognized that "no net loss of wetlands" functions and
values may not be achieved in each and every permit action. Appropriate and practicable
22

compensatory mitigation is required for unavoidable adverse impacts, which remain after
all appropriate and practicable minimization has been required. Compensatory actions
often include restoration, creation and enhancement of Waters of the United States. Such
actions should be undertaken in areas adjacent to or contiguous with the discharge site.
Compensatory mitigation is required for those projects authorized under Section 404
Nationwide Permits that result in the fill or alteration of more than 0.5 acre of wetlands
and/or 3001inear feet of streams.
3. Rare and Protected Species
Some populations of plants and animals have been or are in the process of decline due to
factors such as natural forces, competition from introduced species, or human related impacts
such as destruction of habitat. Rare and protected species listed for Caldwell County and any
likely impacts to these species as a result of the proposed project construction are discussed
in the following sections.
a. Federally Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classification of Endangered (E), Threatened ('1~,
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 United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) list three federally protected
species for Caldwell County as of the February 25, 2003 listing (Table 2).
The NCNHP database of rare species and unique habitats shows no recorded occurrences
of federally protected species within the project study area.

The spruce-fir moss spider is a small (0.10 to 0.15 inches) spider, which ranges in color
from light brown to yellow-brown to darker reddish brown. It has no markings on its
abdomen. It is identified by its chelicerae, which project forward beyond the anterior
edge of the carapace. It also has very long spinnerets and a second pair of book lungs.
The spruce-fir moss spider inhabits only mature Fraser fir and red spruce forest
communities of the highest elevations (greater than 5,000 feet). The typical habitat is
well drained, damp moss mats growing on rocks and boulders. It prefers well-shaded
24

places in these forests where it constructs tube shaped webs in the interface between the
moss mat and rock surface.
No habitat is present for the spruce-fir moss spider within the project study area. The
project study area is located at approximately 1,200 feet, which is well below the
elevation for suitable habitat. A search of the NCNHP showed no recorded occurrences
of this species within the project vicinity. It can be concluded that the construction of the
proposed project will not impact the spruce-fir moss spider.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
Hexastylis naniflora (Dwarf-flowered heartleaf) T
Family: Aristolochiaceae
Date Listed: April 14,1989
Dwarf-flowered heartleaf has the smallest flowers of any North American plant in the
genus Hexasrylis. The flowers are less than 0.4 inch long, and their sepal tubes are never
more than 0.4 inch wide. Flower color ranges from beige to dark brown; sometimes it is
greenish or purplish. The flowers are jug-shaped and the dark-green leaves are heart-
shaped, evergreen, and leathery. Plant stalks are long and thin, originating from an
underground root. Flowering occurs from mid-March to early June.
Dwarf-flowered heartleaf grows in acidic, sandy loam soils along bluffs and nearby
slopes, in boggy areas adjacent to creekheads and streams, and along the slopes of
hillsides and ravines. Soil type is the most important habitat requirement. The species
needs Pacolet, Madison gravelly sandy loam, or Musella fine sandy loam to grow and
survive. Provided the soil type is right, the plant can survive in either dry or moderately
2s

moist habitat. For maximum flowering, the plant needs sunlight in early spring.
Creekheads where shrubs are rare and bluffs with light gaps are the habitat types most
conducive to flowering and high seed production. Seed output is lowest in bluff
populations with a lot of shade.
NCDOT biologists conducted plant surveys on May 3, 2004 during the flowering dates
for this species. The survey identified habitat present within the proposed project limits.
The only habitat for this species was located in the northeast quadrant of the bridge. The
habitat was poor because of heavy ground cover due to numerous invasive plants.
Surveys for Hexastaylis did not reveal any species of Hexastylis within the project
vicinity. The Natural Heritage Program's database of rare plants did not have any
occurrences of this species within one mile of the project's vicinity. It is concluded that
replacing Bridge No. 7 will have "No Effect" on dwarf-flowered heartleaf.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
Liatris helleri (Heller's blazing star) T
Family: Asteraceae
Date Listed: November 19,1987
Heller's blazing star is a perennial herb with one or more erect or arching stems, which
arise from a tuft of narrow pale green basal leaves. Its stems reach up to 16 inches in
height and are topped by a showy spike of lavender flowers (three to eight inches long),
which are present from July through September. Fruits are present from September
through October.
26

Heller's blazing star is endemic to the northern Blue Ridge Mountains where it occurs on
high elevation rocky summits. It grows in shallow, acidic soils, which are exposed to full
sunlight.
No habitat is located in the project study area for Heller's blazing star; the project study
area is located at approximately 2,640 feet above msl, is well below the summit, and
contains no rocky outcrops. A search of the NCNHP database showed no recorded
occurrences of this species within the project vicinity. It can be concluded that the
construction of the proposed project will not impact Heller's blazing star.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
b. 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 of Endangered. FSC are defined as species
that are under consideration for listing for which there is insufficient information to
support listing.
Some of these species are listed as Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern by the
NCNHP list of Rare Plant and Animal Species and are afforded state protection under the
State Endangered Species Act and the North Carolina Plant Protection and Conservation
Act of 1979. Table 3 includes listed FSC species for Caldwell County and their state
classifications (May 2003).
A review of the NCNHP database of rare species and unique habitats shows no recorded
occurrences of FSC within the project study area.

c. Summary of Anticipated Impacts
Habitat is present in the project study area for dwarf-flowered heartleaf. Surveys for this
plant were conducted during the flowering season to determine the presence or absence
of this species in the project study area. The survey revealed no presence of this species.
According to the NCNHP, there have been no recorded occurrences of any rare or
protected species within the project vicinity. No potential impacts to federal or state
listed species are anticipated.

VII. CULTURAL RESOURCES
A. Compliance Guidelines
This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
of 1966, as amended, and implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified as 36 CFR Part 800. Section 106
requires Federal agencies to take into account the effect of their undertakings (federally funded,
licensed, or permitted) on properties included in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register
of Historic Places and to afford the Advisory Council a reasonable opportunity to comment on
such undertakings.
B. Historic Architecture
Afield survey of the Area of Potential Effects (APE) was conducted on September 23, 2002. All
structures within the APE were photographed, and later an NCDOT staff architectural historian
reviewed these photos. Properties 1 through 10 were determined not eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places and were shown to the State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) in a
meeting on November 5, 2002. At that meeting HPO staff concurred that Properties 1 through
10 were not eligible and a form was signed to this effect. In a subsequent memo from the State
Historic Preservation Office (HPO) on November 12, 2002, they stated there were no historic
structures affected by the project. However, at a Citizens Informational Workshop on March 20,
2003, a member of the public informed representatives of NCDOTthere was a historic property
in the area that warranted further examination. A NCDOT architectural historian evaluated the
Woods Barber Shop and in a report to HPO in September 2003 they determined that the property
was eligible for the National Register under Criterion A for Social History. By their
30

memorandum of October 30, 2003, the HPO concurred with the eligibility of the property and its
historic boundary, as shown in Figure 8. Both the Woods Barber Shop and its adjoining privy
are adjacent to NCDOT's Right of Way. Since the proposed project will require the use of land
and removal of the structure from this historic property, NCDOT, FHWA and HPO jointly
determined that the project would have an adverse effect on Woods Barber Shop. This finding of
adverse effect is documented in a form included in Appendix A. In addition, a small group
meeting was held on March 30, 2004 with the Happy Valley Ruritan Club (owners of the historic
property) and staff from NCDOT, FHWA and Wetherill Engineering.
In accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, a Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA) between HPO, FHWA, and NCDOT has been developed, which details
measures to mitigate the Adverse Effect upon the Woods Barber Shop.
The measures are as follows:
Prior to the removal and relocation of the Woods Barber Shop, NCDOT shall record the
existing condition of the property and its surroundings in accordance with the attached
Historic Structures and Landscape Recordation Plan.
NCDOT will provide funding to the Happy Valley Ruritan Club for the purpose of
stabilizing the Barber Shop and relocating the building to a new site. The Ruritan Club
proposes to rehabilitate the building on.the new site, which is located approximately 1500
feet from the existing site.
NCDOT will erect a historical marker near the existing site indicating that the Woods
Barber Shop has been relocated from its original site to a new site.
Copies of all correspondence and forms are included in Appendix A.
31

C. Archaeology
The State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), in a memorandum dated November 12, 2002,
recommended that a comprehensive archaeological survey be conducted if Alternative 2 or
Alternative 1 is selected. A copy of the SHPO memorandum is included in Appendix A.
Since Alternative 2 is selected as the preferred alternative, a comprehensive archaeological
survey will be conducted prior to project construction.
VIII. SECTION 4 (fj RESOURCES
Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966, as amended, states in part "The
Secretary may approve a transportation project or program requiring the use of publicly owned land
of a public park, recreation area, or wildlife and waterfowl refuge, or land of a historic site of
national, state, or local significance (as determined by the Federal, State or local officials having
jurisdiction over the park, recreation area, refuge, or site) only if-
(1) there is no prudent and feasible alternative to using that land; and
(2) the program or project includes all possible planning to minimize harm to the park,
recreation area, wildlife and waterfowl refuge, or historic site resulting from such
use."
The proposed project will require the use of property from a National Register-eligible historic
resource (Woods Barber Shop). A Draft Section 4(f) Evaluation has been prepared and is included
in Section IX.
32

IX. DRAFT SECTION 4(f~ EVALUATION
A. Proposed Action
Bridge No. 7 will be replaced with a new structure at or near the existing bridge (for general
location see Figure 1). The proposed design speed is 40 mph. The grade on the proposed
structure will be approximately the same as the existing bridge. The new structure will be
approximately 145 feet long and 52 feet wide. This width is measured between the inside of the
bridge rail. The 52-foot width includes three 12-foot travel lanes and 8-foot offsets to the bridge
rail. The bridge typical section is shown on Figure 3.
The typical sections for the roadway portion of the prof ect are shown in Figure 3. In addition, the
northbound and westbound approaches to the bridge (along NC 268) will include an added 12-
footwide right turn lane.
Alternative 2, replacing the permanent bridge at the existing location is the preferred alternative
(see Figure 4B). During construction, traffic will be maintained by an on-site detour. The on-
site detour is to be located upstream (north side) of the existing bridge. Alternative 2 was
selected because it will cost effectively meet the project's objective and cause less impact to the
project area by avoiding the underground fuel storage tanks of the convenience store.
The construction period is expected to be approximately one year.
The existing bridge was constructed in 1957. Bridge No. 7 has maintenance problems and needs
to be replaced. The inclusion of the bridge on the Federal-Aid Bridge Replacement Program is
based upon a sufficiency rating of 46.8. The bridge is posted with a weight limit of 24 tons for a
single vehicle and 29 tons for truck tractor semi-trailers (T'TST).
33

The preferred alternative described above (Alternative 2) will involve a historic property, Woods
Barber Shop, which is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Because of
the proximity of the historic structure to the existing road (approximately 15 feet between the
structure and the edge of pavement), the preferred alternative will require the removal of Woods
Barber Shop. The site is shown in Figure 6. Photographs of Woods Barber Shop are shown in
Figure 7.
As the proposed improvements are federally funded and propose the use of land from a
significant historic site, compliance with Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of
1966 (80 Stat., PL 89-670) is required. Section 4(f) is designed to insure that special efforts are
made "to preserve the natural beauty of the countryside and public park and recreational lands,
wildlife and waterfowl refuges, and historic sites."
B. Description of the Section 4(f) Resource
Name: Woods Barber Shop, Caldwell County
Location: Northeast corner, Junction of NC 268 and SR 1516 (Winkler
Road) Patterson (vicinity)
Caldwell County, NC (see Figure 1)
Date of Construction: April 1940
Statement of Significance:
Floyd Pinkney Woods built the barbershop in April 1940, according to a North Carolina Historic
Preservation Office (HPO) Study List application prepared by the Happy Valley Ruritan Club.
On business days, Mr. Woods drove from his house on Kirby Mountain Road in rural Caldwell
34

County to work in his one-man barbershop. Mr. Woods suffered a stroke in 1970 and was unable
to continue operating his business. Thereafter, another barber used the shop for a period of a few
months. For many years the Woods Barber Shop has remained vacant, only to be used for
storage by the Happy Valley Ruritan Club.
Longtime residents of Happy Valley recognize Woods Barber Shop has historical value, and a
National Register nomination of the site may be pursued under a National Register "Multiple
Properties Listing." Happy Valley is a rural area located south and east of the village of
Patterson. Though not as densely settled as Patterson, Happy Valley's proximity to a major
highway (NC 268) and the Yadkin River attracted a variety of businesses that served the rural
community. Caldwell County residents visiting this commercial center were drawn from places
like Richland Gap, Warrior Cove, Blackberry, and rural areas south of Blowing Rock.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a gristmill operated in this vicinity, just west
of the present-day barbershop. Many came to the area for this service, which processed
cornmeal, wheat, or barley. While the milling was being done, people would often stop by
Wood's Barber Shop to have their hair cut.
According to community residents, people were drawn to the area as much for the company as
they did for the milling service. In rural parts of North Carolina, it is not unusual to find a
variety of businesses clustered around mill operations. For many rural people this venue
provided an outlet for socializing and hearing news and information. Across the road from
Woods Barber Shop stood a local store (no longer extant), which was operated by Raby Woods.
A nearby church and cemetery (outside of the NCDOT project area) is said to be one of the
oldest in the Valley, though the church building has experienced many alterations. The Woods
Barber Shop building is one of the few lasting structures that have remained at this location. It is
therefore worthy of special recognition for its role in the social history of the community.
35

Criteria Assessment:
Woods Barber Shop is considered eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under
Criterion A (event) for social history.
Woods Barber Shop, Caldwell County, NC, is eligible for the National Register under Criterion
A (event). To be eligible under Criterion A, the property must retain integrity and must be
associated with a specific event, marking an important moment in American pre-history or
history or a pattern of events or historic trend that made a significant contribution to the
development of a community, a state, or a nation. Furthermore, the property must have existed at
the time and be documented to be associated with the events. Finally, the property's specific
association must be important as well. Woods Barber Shop is associated with a small center of
mixed-use development along NC 268 and the Yadkin River that served as a center for
commerce and social gathering for the surrounding rural community of Happy Valley. Woods
Barber Shop, dating to 1940 (according to HPO records), served as an important location where
rural residents gathered for social interaction. Rural people gathered in this location to conduct
business, utilize services available, and learn of news and information. Woods Barber Shop
survives as an architectural expression of how a traditional rural community functioned prior to
the inception of large-scale transportation and communication networks that, for better or worse,
extended broader options to the community.
Woods Barber Shop is not eligible for the National Register under Criterion B (person), Criterion
C (Design/Construction) or Criterion D (Potential to Yield Information).
National Register Boundary:
The boundary of the Woods Barber Shop is shown in Figure 8.
36

C. Impacts on the Section 4(fj Property
Alternative 2, the preferred alternative, will require the relocation of Woods Barber Shop (see
Figure 4B). According to information provided by the Division 11 Right of Way agent, the DOT
maintains approximately 16 feet of right of way measured from the centerline of the existing road
in front of Woods Barber Shop. The structure is located approximately 15 feet from the existing
pavement. As indicated in Figure 8, the National Register Boundary is the existing edge of
pavement. The existing right of way is not sufficient to contain the proposed improvements. To
avoid the Section 4(f) use, the improvements would have to be done on the opposite side (south
side) of the existing road, which would impact the underground fuel storage tanks at the
convenient store.
D. Avoidance Alternatives
Major Relocation Alternative
A major relocation alternative was investigated, which would relocate NC 268 south of the
existing bridge. It would result in a new crossing of the Yadkin River and floodplain
approximately 1000 feet south of the existing bridge. Because the existing crossing of the Yadkin
River is located at the most narrow crossing of the floodplain and the floodplain widens
significantly south, a bridge length of approximately 750 feet would be required. This alternative
would cause greater impact on the floodplain and require a floodway modification. It would
require additional roadway and bridge lengths totaling approximately 2000 feet, which is beyond
the scope of the proposed bridge replacement project. Woods Barber Shop would not be
relocated but would remain in close proximity to the existing road ('The Barber Shop is located
approximately 15 feet from the existing edge of pavement). Because the existing bridge would
be removed upon completion of the major relocation of NC 268, the relocated portion of existing
NC 268 east of the existing bridge would convert to a dead end road. The underground fuel
37

storage tanks would not be impacted but the convenient store would likely be economically
impacted. This avoidance alternative is not a feasible and prudent alternative.
Rehabilitation and Do Nothing Alternatives
Rehabilitation of the existing deteriorating bridge is neither practical nor economically feasible.
It would require significant repairs to the superstructure because of the type of floor decking.
The substantial investment in replacing the superstructure over the bridge's substructure built in
1957 would not addresses the functional deficiency of the bridge and the need for a wider, safer
bridge.
The "do-nothing" alternative is not feasible. This will require the closing of the road as the
existing bridge deteriorates to a point where it is unsafe at any posted weight limits.
Alternative Located on South Side of NC 268
An avoidance alternative was investigated which would shift the improvement to the opposite
side (south side) of the road and away from Woods Barber Shop. The south boundary of the
historic property for Woods Barber Shop is the existing edge of pavement. Shifting the proposed
widening all to the opposite side would impact the convenience store and require the relocation
of the underground fuel storage tanks. Woods Barber Shop would remain in close proximity to
the existing road (Woods Barber Shop is located approximately 15 feet from the existing edge of
pavement). This avoidance alternative is not a feasible and prudent alternative.

3. Do Nothing/Rehabilitation Would not meet the project's need for a wider, safer bridge
E. Measures to Minimize Harm
Mitigation will include moving the historic structure to a place where its integrity can be better
maintained. The historic structure, which is in poor structural condition, will be improved
structurally to the extent that it can be moved. The property and structure is owned by the Happy
Valley Ruritan Club and would be moved to a nearby site owned by the Ruritan Club. A meeting
39

has been held with representatives of the Ruritan Club and they are in agreement with moving
Woods Barber Shop to their other property.
The following measures will be implemented as part of Alternative 2, which is the preferred
alternative in order to minimize harm to Woods Barber Shop. These measures were developed in
coordination with the HPO and designated representatives of Happy Valley Ruritan Club
(owners of the historic structure and property).
Prior to the removal and relocation of the Woods Barber Shop, NCDOT shall record the
existing condition of the property and its surroundings in accordance with the attached
Historic Structures and Landscape Recordation Plan included in the MOA.
• In order to minimize harm of the transportation improvement project, NCDOT will provide
funding to the Happy Valley Ruritan Club for the purpose of stabilizing the Barber Shop and
relocating the building to a new site. The Ruritan Club proposes to rehabilitate the building
on the new site, which is located approximately 1500 feet from the existing site.
• NCDOT will erect a historical marker near the existing site indicating that the Woods Barber
Shop has been relocated from its original site to a new site.
F. Coordination
The proposed project has been coordinated with the North Carolina State Historic Preservation
Office (HPO) and the Happy Valley Ruritan Club, the owners of Woods Barber Shop. NCDOT
and FHWA met with representatives of the Happy Valley Ruritan Club on March 30, 2004 at the
project site. NCDOT and FHWA met with HPO about the project's effect on Woods Barber
Shop on February 3, 2004.
40

Local officials and local citizens have been made aware of the project by the circulation of a
newsletter and a Citizens Informational Workshop.
The HPO was contacted early in the planning process. The HPO, after reviewing available
resource data, recommended should Alternative 2 be selected, comprehensive archaeological
surveys be conducted for this project. It has also been determined by NCDOT and HPO that the
proposed improvement will have an Adverse Effect on Woods Barber Shop. Woods Barber
Shop has been determined to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. A letter of
concurrence from the HPO concurring in this finding is included in Appendix A.
A draft version of the Section 4(f) document was circulated to the US Department of Interior,
State Historic Preservation Office and the Happy Valley Ruritan Club on March 2, 2005 for
comment. Comments were received from the Department of Interior. The Department of
Interior concurred there were no feasible and prudent alternatives to the proposed action and
recommended that a signed copy of the Section 106 Memorandum of Agreement be included in
the final document. The Department of Interior `s letter and Section 106 Memorandum of
Agreement are found in Appendix C.
X. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The project will have the following benefits: The proposed improvements will cost effectively
replace the functionally obsolete and high cost maintenance bridge with a structurally sound three-
lanebridge. The load restriction will be removed from the bridge for truck traffic. The new bridge
will provide improved safety due to the improved design features. Based on preliminary studies,
utilizing pre-cast bridge components are anticipated which would require minimal time for
construction and less inconvenience to vehicular traffic. The design of the new bridge will not
41

change the visual character of the area and should be aesthetically acceptable to the residences in
proximity to the bridge. The proposed improvement is anticipated to be constructed with limited
additional right of way required. No impacts are anticipated to residential or business development
with the preferred alternative. An acceptable off-site detour route is not available and traffic will be
maintained by an on-site detour during construction. In summary, the project is expected to have an
overall positive impact. Replacement of the inadequate bridge and construction of safety
improvements will result in safer and overall more efficient traffic operations.
No adverse effect on public facilities or services is expected. The project is not expected to
adversely affect social, economic, or religious opportunities in the area.
In compliance with Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in
Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations), a review was conducted to determine whether
minority or low-income populations were receiving disproportionately high and adverse human
health and environmental impacts as a result of this project. The investigation determined the project
would not disproportionately impact any minority or low-income populations.
The proposed bridge width will include bicycle accommodations. Agreenway isproposed tofollow
along the banks of the Yadkin River. The greenway is proposed to cross over from the east side of
the Yadkin River to the west side of the river by utilizing the subject bridge. The greenway is
proposed to include provisions for a horse trail. Proponents of the greenway requested new
structure's height be sufficient for the greenway to pass beneath the bridge on the east side of the
river and then circle back across the bridge on the north side. This would eliminate the greenway
users from having to cross NC 268. It is not feasible to raise the bridge enough for greenway users to
pass under the new structure as requested. However, the bridge width will be made wide enough for
the greenway users to use the south side of the bridge and then cross NC 268 at the west end of the
proposed bridge. The proposed bridge will include bicycle safe rail. A pedestrian actuated signal
will be considered at a future date to provide for the proposed greenway crossing of NC 268 at the
west end of the bridge.
42

There are no publicly owned parks, recreational facilities, or wildlife and waterfowl refuges of
national, state of local significance in the immediate vicinity of the project. The proposed project
will involve lands (Woods Barber Shop) protected by Section 4(f) of the U.S. Department of
Transportation Act of 1966. A Draft Section 4(f) Evaluation has been prepared for this historic
resource (see Section 1~. It is proposed that the Woods Barber Shop be moved to a property owned
by the Happy Valley Ruritan Club located approximately 1500 feet north of the existing bridge. The
proposed greenway discussed above would access the Ruritan property and the relocated historic
structure. It should also enhance the greenway experience by having the Woods Barber Shop readily
accessible to the greenway and the Ruritan property.
No adverse effects to air quality are expected to result from this project. This project is an air quality
"neutral" project, so it is not required to be included in the regional emissions analysis (if
applicable), and a project level CO analysis is not required. Since the project is located in an
attainment area, 40 CFR Part 51 is not applicable. If vegetation or wood debris is disposed of by
open burning, it shall be done in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations of the North
Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) for air quality in compliance with 15 NCAC 2D.0520 and
1990 Clean Air Act Amendments and the National Environmental Policy Act. This evaluation
completes the assessment requirements for air quality, and no additional reports are required.
Ambient noise levels may increase during the construction of this project; however this increase will
be only temporary and usually confined to daylight hours. There should be no notable change in
traffic volumes after this project is completed. Therefore, this project will have no adverse effect on
existing noise levels. Noise Receptors in the project area will not be impacted by this project. This
evaluation completes the assessment requirements for highway noise set forth in 23 CFR Part 772.
No additional reports are required.
The proposed project will not adversely affect threatened or endangered species
43

The bridge replacement will not have an adverse effect on the quality of the human or natural
environment with the use of current NCDOT standards and specifications.
The project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulation. No change in
land use is expected to result from construction of the project.
No adverse impact on families or corr~munities is anticipated. No relocatees are expected with the
implementation of the proposed project.
No geodetic survey markers will be impacted.
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. Since the bridge will be replaced essentially at the existing location, the Farmland
Protection Policy Act does not apply.
An examination of records at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources,
Division of Water Quality, Groundwater Section and the North Carolina Department of Human
Resources, Solid Waste Management Section revealed no underground storage tanks or hazardous
waste sites in the project area.
Caldwell County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program. The bridge is within a
Detailed Study Area. The new structure will be designed to match or lower the existing 100-year
storm elevation upstream of the roadway. Since the proposed replacement for the bridge will be a
structure similar in waterway opening size, it is not anticipated to have any significant adverse
impact on the existing floodplain and floodway. Additional hydraulic information is included in the
technical memorandum prepared by Sungate Design Group, P.A.
44

Borrow and solid waste sites will be the responsibility of the Contractor. Solid waste will be
disposed of in strict adherence to the NC Division of Highways "Standard Specifications for Roads
and Structures." The Contractor will observe and comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations,
orders, and decrees regarding the disposal of solid waste. Solid waste will not be placed into any
existing land disposal site that is in violation of state or local rules and regulations. Waste and debris
will be disposed of in areas, which are outside the right of way and provided by the Contractor.
On the basis of the above discussion, it is concluded that no significant adverse environmental
effects will result from the implementation of this project. The project is a Federal "Categorical
Exclusion" due to its limited scope and lack of significant environmental consequences.
XI. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
A mailing list was developed for residences and property owners located near the bridge. The
mailing list included approximately 134 citizens and the local news media. A newsletter, mailed in
March 2003 stated three alternatives were under study for replacement of the bridge at the existing
location. A copy of the newsletter is attached in Appendix B. The newsletter announced a Citizens
Informational Workshop to be held on March 20, 2003. An opportunity for local officials to review
the alternatives was held on March 20, 2003 at 10:00 AM in Lenoir at the Caldwell County-City
Chamber, 905 West Avenue, N.W. No local officials attended. The Citizens Informational
Workshop was held at the Happy Valley School Gymnasium at 1350 Yadkin River Road (SR 1560)
from 4 to 7 pm. The meeting consisted of an open house format. Three alternatives were presented
along with a handout (attached in Appendix B). Large displays, which basically were enlargements
of the figures included in the handout, were shown. Additional copies of the newsletter, previously
sent to those on the mailing list, were also made available to those attending. Approximately eight
citizens attended the workshop.
45

A summary of the comments received at the workshop follows:
• A representative of the service station and convenience store near the end of the existing
bridge made the following comments.
- A historic structure is located opposite the store (later identified as Woods
Barber Shop).
- A residence located east along NC 268 (beyond the current project limits) had
been provided a water line because of leakage from an underground fuel oil
tank (on the property) had contaminated the well.
- A water line that served the store and the above residence is located south and
parallel to the existing bridge. The water line serving the house crosses under
NC 268 just east of the bridge.
- The bridge and surrounding area was flooded in the past and the flooding
resulted from the consequences of a trailer that was washed downstream and
lodged beneath the bridge.
- The underground tanks for the convenience store are located just east of the
canopy.
- Noted an accident problem at the intersection of NC 268 and SR 1560 (A
total of five accidents are recorded near the bridge with four accidents
occurring at this intersection.)
• The Patterson School Headmaster voiced concern about maintenance of traffic on NC 268
during construction. The private boarding school has approximately 100 students. The
school is located approximately 4 miles east of the bridge. (There is no practical off-site
detour and an on-site detour will be provided during construction.)
• A citizen advised the Yadkin River in the vicinity is degraded. The river has been eroded
down to bedrock and may be a candidate for stream mitigation. His comment was referred to
46

DOT's Office of Natural Environment. The citizen also mentioned a future greenway along
the Yadkin River and the need to accommodate the future greenway. It was noted there is
not sufficient height beneath the bridge for the future greenway.
• A citizen stated in writing preference of Alternative 2.
A meeting was held on March 30, 2004 with members of the Happy Valley Ruritan Club and staff of
NCDOT, FHWA and Wetherill Engineering. Four members of the Ruritan Club attended the
meeting. The meeting was held at Woods Barber Shop at the project site.
The purpose of the meeting was to consider options for relocating the Barber Shop, owned by the
Happy Valley Ruritan Club, which has been identified as eligible for the National Register of
Historic Places. The building is subject to Section 4(f) of the USDOT Act and Section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act. The project, by relocating the structure, will have a Section 106
Adverse Effect on, and a Section 4 (f) use of, the property.
A summary of the comments follows:
• The designated spokesperson for the Ruritan ~ Club showed a survey plot of their
property. It showed insufficient property to allow Woods Barber Shop to be moved back
away from the road.
• The first solution discussed was to try to have the Woods Barber Shop remain near the
existing site and to obtain additional property behind the building to move it. However, the
affected property owner stated that he would allow the building to be moved on his property
but that he would not give an encroachment, sell or lease any of his property or make any
written commitments tying up his land. Essentially the building would be on his property
and its future disposition would hinge on his discretion and the future property owners'
47

w

wishes. Such a precarious situation is not in the best interest of the long-term preservation of
the building, so this solution is not recommended.
• An option was discussed for relocating the building to another nearby site. This site is a
property owned by the Ruritan Club located on the east side of SR 1560 (Yadkin
• River Road) near Happy Valley Elementary School. This would be approximately 1500 feet
away from the existing site and is the site of a future clubhouse currently under construction.
The Ruritan Club would maintain the integrity of Woods Barber Shop. It was discussed that
a historic marker could be placed at the existing site noting the original site and that the
building had been moved to the situ under discussion. This option appeared to be acceptable
to the Ruritan Club Members.
• There was also discussion concerning the best place to situate the Woods Barber
Shop on their property near the school. It was discussed that Woods Barber Shop could be
placed in the back of their property near the Yadkin River or in front of their
clubhouse near Yadkin River Road. No decision was reached but each location would
have merits. Since the meeting the Ruritan spokesman advised by telephone that the location
in front of the clubhouse would have problems with electric power lines.
• There was discussion concerning the condition of the building and repairs would have to
be made to make the Barber Shop structurally safe enough to move. The sills are rotted
and may have termites. One interior section of the wood floor is separated from the wall,
and the wall rests on the ground. The roof is leaking and is causing decay within the
building. The Ruritan spokesman advised that a local contractor had been previously
contacted to estunate the repair cost. The contractor indicated he did not think the Club
would be willing to pay the cost necessary to repair the building. NCDOT staff requested
that the Ruritan Club obtain a couple of estimates for repairing the structural condition of
48

the building. NCDOT would not pay for the full restoration of the Barber Shop but
would fund the stabilization (sufficient to enable it to be moved) and the move itself. It
was discussed there may be other sources of funding (e.g., enhancement money) available
for restoration which should be pursued.
XII. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY
No unresolved issues or areas of controversy have been identified during the planning process and

MEMO FOR: William T. Goodwin, P.E. DATE: Jtuie 27, 2002
FROM: Marella Buncick
SUBS' CT: Review of NCDOT 2005 Bridge Program
I have completed initial review of the approximately 70 proposed bridge replacements for
NCDOT Divisions 9-14 for the year 2005. I would like to commend NCDOT for
obtaining the natural resource information up front and allowing the agencies to review
the proposals and provide comments so early in the process. It was a large volume of
work for everyone involved but I feel that the input will be much more meaningful at this
early planning stage.
Attached is a spreadsheet with specific comments for each project reviewed. All of the
projects have been assigned a Green, Yellow, or Red ranking depending on the resources
affected and the need for future consultation. As you will note, the majority of the
projects received a Yellow ranking. This is due in large part to the fact that there aze
unresolved issues related to listed species. Many of these projects likely will become
Green projects after further field review. However, obligations under Section 7 of the
Act must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action
that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2)
actions are subsequently modified in a manner that way not considered in this review, or
(3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the
identified action.
I also have general comments regarding the process and reports. My general comments
follow.
Report Content and Organization
1. The reports would be more easily handled if they were not spiral or otherwise
bound.
2. Maps need to be much better. Without a significant landmark-- highway, larger
town, other feature - it sometimes took a long time to figure out the location of
the project within a county.
3. The reports were organized somewhat similarly, but more consistency would aid
in the review process. Perhaps a table that has the significant features ---stream
width, depth, DWQ class. etc.--also would help.

~. Eor listed species, it often was difficult to tell whether field surveys had been
conducted or whether the information was limited to a database search.
5. In the future, I would appreciate having the Rosgen stream classification included
as part of the information.
Listed Species Surveys
Projects currently ranked as Yellow will need to be reviewed in the future after the stated
issues are resolved. For those reports with unresolved issues related to listed species, I
would recommend that NCDOT wait until closer to implementation time to conduct final
surveys. In general, after three to five yeazs we need updated information regarding the
project and listed species. Additionally, when aquatic species are involved (particularly
mussels) several surveys may be •required to adequately determine presence or absence.
The three projects receiving a Red ranking will need to be followed very closely to
determine future consultation requirements. These include B-4287 (actually 2 bridge
replacements), B-4286, and B-4282. These projects were ranked as Red because of the
significance of the number of listed resources potentially affected and the river (either
main stem or tributary) involved.
I would encourage NCDOT to require consultants to at least assess habitat for the bog
turtle. While the bog turtle technically does not require Section 7 consultation, it is a
species of concern and NCDOT is actively managing mitigation sites or parts of sites for
this species. Additionally, the Wildlife Resources Commission considers this animal rare
in NC and participates actively in surveys and conservation efforts on its behalf.
Bridge Design and Construction Practices
I am assuming that FWS comments/recommendations in the past regarding bridge design,
demolition, and construction practices will be folded into each of these projects. Since
NCDOT is also working on a BMP manual that covers these practices, I think it would be
redundant to state them again. However, if any questions arise, please let me know. I
would like to emphasize that we prefer off-site detours wherever possible, to minimize
effects to resources.
Each of these projects has been assigned a log number. Please refer to these numbers in
future requests regazding the subject projects. Thank you again for the opportunity to
provide these comments. If you have questions, please let me know.

Habitat Conservation Program, NCWRC ~m1
DATE: August 27, 2003
SUBJECT: Scoping review of NCDOT's proposed replacement of Bridge No. 7 over the
Yadkin River on NC 268, Caldwell County. TIP No. B-4052.
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has requested comments from
the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) regarding impacts to fish and
wildlife resources resulting from the subject project. Staff biologists have reviewed the
information provided. The following preliminary comments are provided in accordance with the
provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(c)) and the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
Our standard recommendations for bridge replacement projects of this scope are as
follows:
1. We generally prefer spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require work
within the stream and do not require stream channel realignment. The horizontal and
vertical clearances provided by bridges allows for human and wildlife passage beneath
the structure, does not block fish passage, and does not block navigation by canoeists and
boaters.
2. Bridge deck drains should not discharge directly into the stream.
3. Live concrete should not be allowed to contact the water in or entering into the stream.
4. If possible, bridge supports (bents) should not be placed in the stream.
If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, they should be removed back to
original ground elevations immediately upon the completion of the project. Disturbed

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

Yadkin River, Caldwell Co.
August 27, 2003
16. During subsurface investigations, equipment should be inspected daily and maintained to
prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids,
or other toxic materials.
17. If culvert installation is being considered, conduct subsurface investigations prior to
structure design to determine design options and constraints and to ensure that wildlife
passage issues are addressed.
If corrugated metal pipe arches, reinforced concrete pipes, or concrete box culverts are
used:
1. The culvert must be designed to allow for aquatic life and fish passage. Generally, the
culvert or pipe invert should be buried at least 1 foot below the natural streambed
(measured from the natural thalweg depth). If multiple barrels are required, barrels other
than the base flow barrel(s) should be placed on or neaz stream bankfull or floodplain
bench elevation (similar to Lyonsfield design). These should be reconnected to
floodplain benches as appropriate. This may be accomplished by utilizing sills on the
upstream end to restrict or divert flow to the base flow barrel(s). Silled barrels should be
filled with sediment so as not to cause noxious or mosquito breeding conditions.
Sufficient water depth should be provided in the base flow barrel during low flows to
accommodate fish movement. If culverts are longer than 40-50 lineaz feet, alternating or
notched baffles should be installed in a manner that mimics existing stream pattern. This
should enhance aquatic life passage: 1) by depositing sediments in the barrel, 2) by
maintaining channel depth and flow regimes, and 3) by providing resting places for fish
and other aquatic organisms. In essence, the base flow barrel(s) should provide a
continuum of water depth and channel width without substantial modifications of
velocity.
2. If multiple pipes or cells are used, at least one pipe or box should be designed to remain
dry during normal flows to allow for wildlife passage.
3. Culverts or pipes should be situated along the existing channel alignment whenever
possible to avoid channel realignment. Widening the stream channel must be avoided.
Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts
aquatic life passage.
4. Riprap should not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a
manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should
be professionally designed, sized, and installed.
In most cases, we prefer the replacement of the existing structure at the same location
with road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour should be designed and
located to avoid wetland impacts, minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing
stream banks. If the structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure should be removed
and the approach fills removed from the 100-year floodplain. Approach fills should be removed

down to the natural ground elevation. The azea should be stabilized with grass and planted with
native tree species. Tall fescue should not be used in riparian areas. If the azea that is reclaimed
was previously wetlands, NCDOT should restore the area to wetlands. If successful, the site may
be used as wetland mitigation for the subject project or other projects in the watershed.
Project specific comments:
B-4052, Caldwell Co., Bridge No. 7 over the Yadkin River on NC 268. The Yadkin River is
classified as C Tr, however it supports smalhnouth bass and redbreast sunfish in the project
area. A recent mussel survey of the upper Yadkin River by NCWRC staff found no listed
species in this area. A moratorium prohibiting in-stream work is recommended from May 1
to July 15 to protect the egg and fiy stages of smallmouth bass. Sediment and erosion control
measures should adhere to the design standards for sensitive watersheds.
We request that NCDOT routinely minimise adverse impacts to fish and wildlife
resources in the vicinity of bridge replacements. The NCDOT should install and maintain
sedimentation control measures throughout the life of the project and prevent wet concrete from
contacting water in or entering into these streams. Replacement of bridges with spanning
structures of some type, as opposed to pipe or box culverts, is recommended in most cases.
Spanning structures allow wildlife passage along streambanks, reducing habitat fragmentation
and vehicle related mortality at highway crossings.
If you need further assistance or information on NCWRC concerns regarding bridge
replacements, please contact me at [phone]. Thank you for the opportunity to review and
comment on these projects.

NCDOT should routinely minimize adverse impacts to fish and wildlife resources in the
vicinity of bridge replacements. Restoring previously disturbed floodplain benches should
narrow and deepen streams previously widened and shallowed during initial bridge installation.
NCDOT should install and maintain sedimentation control measures throughout the life of the
project and prevent wet concrete from contacting water in or entering into these streams.
Replacement of bridges with spanning structures of some tvp~, as opposed to pipe or box
culverts, is recommended in most cases. Spanning structures allow wildlife passage along
streambanks and reduce habitat fragmentation.
Please be advised that this is a cursory review and that other issues may arise during
additional site reviews and visits. If you need further assistance or information on NCWRC
concerns regarding bridge replacements,,please contact me at [phone]. Thank you for the
opportunity to review and comment on these projects.

Subject: Review of Natural Systems Technical Reports for bridge
replacement projects scheduled for construction in CFY 2005:
"Yellow Light" Projects: B-4037, B-4076, B-4116, B-4016,
r'~~ B-4015, B-4013, B-4012, B-4011, B-4202, B-4199,
$-4196, B-4195, B-4322, B-4317, B-4316, B-4285, & B-4028.
On all projects, use of proper sediment and erosion control will be needed. Sediment and erosion
control measures should not be placed in wetlands. Sediment should be removed from any water
pumped from behind a cofferdam before the water is returned to the stream. Sedimentation and
Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds (15A NCAC 4B .0024) must be
implemented prior to any ground-disturbing activities to minimize impacts to downstream
aquatic resources. Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation must be planted on all bare
soil within 1 D days of ground-disturbing activities to provide long term erosion control.
This office would prefer bridges to be replaced with new bridges. However if the bridge must be
replaced by a culvert and 1501inear feet or more of stream is impacted, a stream mitigation plan
will be needed prior to the issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification. While the NCDWQ
realizes that this may not always be practical, it should be noted that for projects requiring
mitigation, appropriate mitigation plans will be required prior to issuance of a 401 Water Quality
Certification.
Any proposed culverts shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile is not
altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed).
Existing stream dimensions are to be maintained above and below locations of culvert
extensions.

For permitting, any project that falls under the Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permits 23 or 33
do not require written concurrence by the NC Division of Water Quality. Notification and
courtesy copies of materials sent to the Corps, including mitigation plans, are required. For
projects that fall under the Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 14 or Regional General Bridge
Permit 31, the formal 401 application process will be required including appropriate fees and
mitigation plans.
Do not use any machinery in the stream channels unless absolutely necessary. Additionally,
vegetation should not be removed from the stream bank unless it is absolutely necessary.
NCDOT should especially avoid removing large trees and undercut banks. If large, undercut
trees must be removed, then the trunks should be cut and the stumps and root systems left in
place to minimize damage to stream banks.
Use of rip-rap for bank stabilization must be minimized; rather, native vegetation should be
planted when practical. If necessary, rip-rap must be limited to the stream bank below the high
water mark, and vegetation must be used for stabilization above high water.
Rules regarding stormwater as described in (15A NCAC 2b.0216 (3) (G)) shall be followed for
these projects. These activities shall minimize built-upon surface area, divert runoff away from
surface waters and maximize utilization of BMPs. Existing vegetated buffers shall not be mowed
in order to allow it to be most effectively utilized for storm water sheet flow.
Special Note on projects B-4037 and B-4076: these waters are classified as 303(d) waters.
Special measures for sediment control will be needed.
Also note that projects B-4037, B-4052, B-4015,B-4013, B-4012, B-4011, B-4202, B-4196,
B-4322, B-4317, and B-4316 occur in Trout waters. Any trout-specific conditions that would be
determined by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, to protect the egg and fry
stages of trout from sedimentation during construction, would be required on any 401
certifications.
Streams classified as "+" signify a stream draining into another stream that is ORW or HQVE~.
Projects that occur in "+" streams are: B-4016, B-4012, B-4011, and B-4317.
Thank you for requesting our input at this time. The DOT is reminded that issuance of a 401
Water Quality Certification requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water
quality standards are met and designated uses are not degraded or lost.

Che Caldwell County Board of Commissioners, during their meeting on April 19, 2004, unanimously endorsed the
•ecommendation from Caldwell County Pathways members to request a pedestrian crossing/bicycle lane be considered for
nclusion in Bridge Project #B-4052.
Che project scheduled for 2005 is to build a new bridge to connect Highway 268 and Yadkin River Road. This
ntersection and bridge will be the trailhead of amulti-purpose pathway that will result in a significant amount of
pedestrian and bicycle traffic crossing the bridge. Most notable is the fact that Highway 268 is a scenic highway, the
•oute of the Over Mountain victory Trail, and is the most used bicycle roadway in Caldwell County. A pedestrian
;rossing/bicycle lane will help ensure that pedestrians and bicyclists can safely cross the bridge without interfering with
vehicular traffic.
Jn behalf of the Board of Commissioners,. this letter is our formal request for the NC Department of Transportation's
;onsideration of a pedestrian crossing/bicycle lane be included in Bridge Project #B-4052.
?lease let us know if we can provide further information regarding this request of if we can assist in any way.
sincerely,

Mr. Moore we have 2 buses that travel that road twice a day. There is no way to travel around this area without a lot of back
tracking. This would make the ride time long for some students. This would create a unworkable situation. Parents would
be up in arms. So I think if possible a temporary bridge would be needed. Thanks for your concern in this matter.

PURPOSE
This Citizens Informational Workshop is being held in order to involve the public
in the project planning process. We welcome all suggestions and comments.
Attached to the handout is a comment sheet for you to write down your
opinions or concerns for our consideration.
Even if you have no comments, you may provide us with your name and address
so that we can include you on the project mailing list.
If you wish to comment further on this project, please contact:

DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVES
• Three alternates for replacing the bridge are shown on Figures 4A, 4B and
4C.
(It is anticipated that one of these alternates will be selected as the preferred
alternate for replacement.)
• The proposed alternates will begin approximately 150 feet south of the
bridge. The alternates then turn 90-degrees towards the east and end
approximately 500 feet east of the bridge.
• Additional right of way will be required to contain the improvements.
• The intersection of SR 1560 and NC 268 near the end of the bridge will be
improved with an additional right turn lane for northbound NC 268 traffic.
• A change in the elevation of the roadway is not anticipated.
• The proposed roadway and bridge cross sections are shown in Figure 3.
• Traffic will be maintained on-site (that is, the road will remain open during
construction).
• The construction period is anticipated to be one year.
• Traffic on the bridge is estimated to be 5400 vehicles per day in the year
2002 and is projected to increase to 10,400 vehicles per day in the year
2025. Approximately 4 percent of this traffic is trucks.
SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
• The proposed improvements will replace the functionally obsolete bridge
with a wider bridge.
• The constant maintenance problem involved with the deterioration and the
need for replacing the deck will be eliminated.
• The load restriction will be removed for truck traffic.
• Traffic operation will be improved at the intersection of NC 268 and SR
1560 located only 50 feet from the end of the bridge.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
An environmental document-federal categorical exclusion-is being developed.
Preparation of this document includes an analysis of impacts to the human and
natural environment. Information gathered during this analysis, as well as cost

This is in response to a request for the Department of the Interior's {Department) review
and comment on the Draft Individual Section 4(f) Evaluation and Categorical Exclusion
for the Replacement of Bridge No. 7 over Yadkin River, Caldwell County, North
Carolina, Federal-Aid Project BRSTP~0268 {9}, State Project 8.1731801, WBS
33418.1 1. TIP NO. B-4052. ~'Je offer the following comments Tor your consideration.
StctiGn .~~f) EvaEijation Comments
The Department concurs that there is no prudent and feasible alternative to the above
listed project, which consists of replacing Bridge No. 7 over the Yadkin River, 8-4052, in
its existing location. Ti',is project will have an adverse effect on the Woods Barber Shop,
which is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The Woods Barber Shop is
located on the northeast corner, junction of NC 268 and SR 1516 on Winkler Road in
the vicinity of Patfierson, Caldwell County, North Carolina. The measures to rninimi7e
harm must be consistent with the Memorandum of Agreement (i1r1CA) de~~eioped in
consultation with the North Carolina :State Historic Preservation tJfficei ao-1r9 concurred in
by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. We recommend that a signed copy of
the MCA be included in the final documentation of compliance for the project to i°eflect
procedures for protecting cu"aural resources.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments.
Sinr~erely,
