Dear Ms. Beckwitl�:
Tl�e Nortli Carolina Dep�rUuent of Trausportation (NCDOT) is proposivg to replace the subject
bridge. The existing timber bridge ueeds to be replaced due to deterioration aud insufficient
��vidth. The proposed replacement struchu�e will be a 21' 7" W x 4' I 1" H x 4T 6" L aluminum
bo� culvert widi notched inlet and outlet sills �ud tlu�ee notched baffles added to promote
bedload retention and fish passage. Tl�e culvert will be stage constructed �vitli flie upstream
section of culvert built first to serve as the on-site detour wl�ile the olci Uridge is removed and the
do�vnstream culvert section is completed.
�nclosed are a PCN application, Preliminary Jurisdictional Form, SHPO Forins, Division of
Mitigatiou Services Acceptance Letter, plan sheets showing tlie proposed work, a USGS quad
map, photographs, and other pertinent project inforivation.
Ti�reatened �ud �ndangered Species
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Progr�m database was cl�ecked for records of tlu•eatened
and endangered species. There are 51 species listed for Haywood County that have federal
status. The bog turtle (G/��ptemys nnJrlenbergii) is listed as tlu•eatened due ro simil�rity of
appearance to the listed northern bog tnrtle. Bald eagle (Halinee�ns leucocephalus) is listed
uuder the Bald aud Golden Eagle Protection Act (I-IGPA). Niiie species, Cat•olina iiortheru flying
squirrel (Glnuconr��s snbri»rrs colo�•nhrs), gray bTt (Dlyotis gi�r.rescens), Indiana bat (�llyo�is
sodnlis), Appalachian elktoe (Alasmi�lonta rnreneJinnn), spruce-fir moss spider (1Llicrohexurn

Bridge No. 305 — Haywood County Page 2 OctoUer 23, 2015
Accordiug to the USFWS, Ha}�vood County is now considered occupied sumuier r�uge for
Indiana bats aud NLEB.
Appalachian elktoe are found iu some well-oxygenated sh•eams with moderate to fast flowing
water aud stable, miaed substrates of silt, sancl, gravel, aud/or cobble. Streams that support tliis
nmssel are typically nmch larger than Liner Creek. T�e only records in Ha}�wood County are
from die Pigeon River, aud the East Fork Pigeon aud West Fork Pigeon rivers, there are no
records from any tributaries to tliese rivers. The Pigeon River is aUout 6.1 miles do��aistream of
dle bridge site and this reach of the river is over 13 river miles downstream of occupied mussel
l�abitat.
Witl� rare exception, gray bats roost in caves year-round. This project only involves a small
bridge replacement, so consh�action work will not etteud far from the eaisting right-of-way into
areas where caves could occur. Tliere are no caves or mines visible near the bridge aud,
according ro USGS datT, tlie nearest undergonnd miiie is over 6 miles away. Tlierefore, gray
bats will not be affected Uy the project.
Tndiana bats 1ud NLEB winter in caves or mines witli stable, but not freezing, cold temperatures.
In summer, they generally roost under the loose bark of trees, either dead ��vith peeling bark or
cavities, or live trees witli sl�aggy bark such as wliite oak, maples, sycamore and liickories. Tliere
is a Cl�u�ese cliestnut tree diat will iieed to be ciit for tlie project from Octobet• ] 5 to Apiil 15
(wiuter clearing) when bats sliould not be roosting in area h�ees. Also, we conducted a survey of
the Uridge on June 1, 2015 and did not see roosting bats or any evidence of bat usage (i.e.
staining or guauo). With wiuter tree clearing, ��ve recommend a`Snay affect, not lilcely to
adversely affect" detennination for NLEB and Indiaua bat.
Small whorled p�gonia generally occurs in opeu, diy, deciduous �voods �vitl� acid soil, thougli
habitats can include slopes along streams and mesic forest with ��diite pine and rhododendron.
There is 1 record for diis plaut widiiu a fe�v miles of tlie Uridge. However, laud use adjacent to
the Uridge consists of maiutained road shoulders, a utility right-of-way, driveways, and fields.
There is no forested ]�abitat in the project footpriut Overall, habitat for small whorled pagonia is
lackiug in the project area.
The Carolina northern flying squirrel, rock guome licheu, spruce-fir moss spider and spre�ding
avens are foiind in spruce-fir forests and otl�er isolated higli elevation locatious in western North
Caroliva. However, rock gnome lichen is au e�ception because it can occasionally be found at
lower elevations in deep river gorges with liigli hiimidity or on some vertical rock faces tl�at are
periodically ���et. The bridge site has an elevation of only 3,150 feet and Iacks vertical rock faces
and other 1�aUitat conditions required by these species.
The project is limited in scope. Erosion and sedimentation control uieasures will be
implemented lo minimize adverse effects of the «�ork on lquatic IiaUitats. Habitats foi• listed
species appear lacking at the project site and none of these species �i�ere observed duriug field
scoping and site visits. For tliese reasous aud those discussed above, we reconunend that a
detennination of "no effecY' on listed species apply to this project, except for NL�B and Lidiana
bat.

Bridge No. 305 — Haywood County Page 3 October 23, 2015
This project was reviewecl by NCDOT's Humau Environment Unit in 2013-14. No suiveys were
required for archaeology. It was determived that a survey was required for historic architecture
with a determination of "no effecP' (see attached forms).
NCDOT best management practices will Ue used to miuimize and control sedimentation and
erosion on this project. The construction foreman �vill revie��� all erosion coutrol measures daily
to ensure sedimeutation and erosion controls are being effectively controlled. If the devices are
not fimctioning as iutended, t�ey will be replaced immediately witli better devices.
Lnpacts to Wate�s of the United States
Linei• Creek (DWQ Cl�ss: C) is sl�o�vu on the USGS topographic map as a pereiuiial stre�m. The
chamiel is well defiued with a substrate of sand, silt, gravel, aud rock and is approximately 5 feet
in width. Tl�e sh�eam has sufficieiit flow to support fish aud other aquatic life. Liuer Creek Ilo�vs
to Crabtree Creek, wliich tl�en flows to the Pigeon River. Tlie Pigeon River meets t�e definition
of a Traditional Navigable Watei• (TNW). For tliese reasons, we Uelieve Liner Creek is a
Relatively Permanent Water (RPW) aud is under the jurisdictiou of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. In order to constract the project, it will be necessary to impact waters of the United

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre-construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicanYs acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

This preliminary JD finds that there "may be"waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

September 2013 and yielded no NR, SL, LD, DE, or SS properties in the Area of
Potential Effects (APE); one SS, the Liner Log House (HW0428), is recorded nearby to
the south and no longer exists. Haywood County current GIS mapping, aerial
photography, and tax information indicated an APE of mostly steep, wooded hillsides
with several twentieth- and early-iwenty-first-century resources (viewed 10 September
2013). Constructed in 1957, Bridge No. 305 is neither included in the NCDOT Historic
Bridge Survey, nor representative of any distinctive engineering or aesthetic type. The
APE extends approximately 350 feet from the ends of the existing bridge (N-S) and 100
feet to either side of the SR 1503 (Liner Creek Road) centerline (E-W) to encompass
proposed construction activities as currently defined. As the project is state-funded and
requires Federal permits, both GS 121-12(a) and Section 106 apply.

of pre-1960s resources, indicated an architectural survey, conducted on 30 October
2013. The survey included on-site investigation of 100% of the APE and the
identification, photographing, and mapping of all above-ground resources over
approximately fifry years of age in the APE (see attached maps and photographs), The
survey recorded (1) a small farm (#4923 Liner Creek Road, PIN 8750-14-3498)
containing a circa-1935 house, two barns, and presumed springhouse and (2) a circa-
1960 house and outbuilding (2 -#5017 Liner Creek Road, PIN 8750-14-7503). The
defining resources of #5017 Liner Creek Road (2) stand approximately 350 feet north
of the existing bridge and 120 feet (house) and 16 feet (outbuilding) west of the SR
1503 (Liner Creek Road) centerline, well beyond likely project impact. Those at #4923
Liner Creek Road (1) are similarly removed from the existing bridge, though less so at
about 140 feet north and 200 feet south, and 40-50 feet west of the road centerline.
The buildings, as well as their sitings and landscapes, are all unremarkable according to
National Register of Historic Places standards; many and more distinguished examples
of their types appear in the region, A finding of "no historic properties present or
affected" will satisfy both GS 121-12(a) and Section 106 compliance requirements.
Should the design of the project change (including the selection of the off-
site detour route), please notify NCDOT Historic Architecture as additional
review may be necessary.

SUMMARY Or CUL'PURAL R�SOURC�S 12�VICW
Brief �lescriplion of revre�v activities, resrr!!s of revreiv, nn�l conelnsions:
The project area is located in the north-central portion of the coimty, between Horsefork and Lee Moun[ains, and a
short distance west of the eimcombe county border. Liner Creek, included within the French E3road River Drainage
easin, constitu[es a second order stream flowing north to south through the project area. It joins eald Creek north
of Chambers Mountain to form Crabtree Creek which, in turn, empties into the Pigeon Rivec A strongly sloping
topography characterizes the majority of the APE and surrounding area.
A map revietv and site file search was conduc[ed at the O((ice of S[ate Archaeology (OSA) on Tuesday, August 20,
2013. This work disdosed the lotation of one prehistoric archaeological site (31HW80) situated along Upper
Crabtree Road roughly one mile south of the proposed bridge replacement. Recorded by UNC (1964), the site
contained surface lithic debris representative of several Archaic oaupations. Clearly, prehistoric settlement favored
more spacious zones of occupancy characterized by level, well-drained terraces in the less restrictive stream valleys.
However, unlike 31HW80 to the south, the Bridge 305 project study area is relegated to the upper portion of [he
Liner Creek stream valley, where 50% to 90% slopes buffer a narrow vally floor typified by stony colluvium.
Following review of nearby prehistoric archaeological sites and others in Haywood County, the APE does not fit the
rypical location expected to uncover past activiry associated wi[h prehistoric occupations.
An inspection of National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), State Study Listed (SL�, Locally Designated (LD),
Determined Eligible (DEJ, and Surveyed Site (SS) proper[ies ernploying resources available on the NCSHPO website
concluded [hat none of [he above designated property types were located within or adjacent to the project area.
Historic maps of Haywood County were appraised for evidence of former structure locations, land use patterns, or
other con(irmation of historic occupation at this locale and archaeological/historical reference materials were
inspected as well. In general, the hisrorical review established an absence of NRHP listed properties, archaeological
sites, or cemeteries within the APE.
Further,�topographic, geologic, environinentaf, aiSd NRCS soil survey maps (SdCJ were re(erence� fo ev�aEe ��
ecological, geomorphological, hydrological, and other elements tha[ may have resulted in past occupation at this
location. Construction design data was examined for determination of the poten[ial impacts to the ground

amenable) were also examined/utilired for additional assessment of hydrological, agricultural, modern earth-
moving, and other erosive disturbances tha[ may typify the APE.

!hn( Urere nre rio unideulifred historic properlies ii� tGe APL:
The project APE contains no NRHP listed historic properties, previously documented archaeological sites, or
cemeteries. Predicated on aerial imagery, soil and topographic data, the eridge No. 305 APE holds little to no
potential of embracing significant NRHP eligible archaeological resources. Liner Creek flows through the
northwestem and southeastern quadrants and the remaining two quadrants embrace slope and disturbance.
Since the bridge replacement is diminutive in scope and proposes no alteration of undisturbed groimd areas,
meaningful archaeological sites/deposits are unlikely to be a(fected by the proJect. No (urther archaeological Input
or work will be necessary for this sta[edunded NCDOT bridge replacement projec[.
