Subject: Nationwide 3 Permit Application
Replace Bridge No. 273 on SR 1346 (White Oak Road) over Messer Branch
Fia}�vood Couuty
State Project No. 17BP14.R128 (BD14A-430273)
(DWQ Minor Permit Fee �240.00)
Dear Ms. Beck�vith:
The North Carolina Depaitment of Transpoitation (NCDOT) is proposing to replace the subject
bridge. Tlie esisting 18.Y L x 26' W timber bridge needs to be replaced due to stil�etural
deFciency. Tl�e proposed replacement structure will be a 20' W s 4.5' H Y 64' L bottomless
reinforced concrete box culvert on the existing location. Stage construction will be used to route
h�affic during const��uction.
Cnclosed are a PCN applic�tion, Prelimina�y Jin isdictional Form, SHPO forms, plan sheets
showing the proposed work, a USGS quad map, photographs, and other pertinent project
iuformation.
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program database �vas checked for records of threatened
and ei�dangered species. There are 51 species listed for Ha}�vood County that have federal stahis.
Tl�e bog twtle (Gl�yremys uir�Trle�ibergii) is listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance to
tl�e listed northeru bog turtle. The bald eagle (Hnlineeti�s leucocephalus) is listed under the Bald
and Golden Eagle Protection Act (FIGPA). Niue species, Carolina northem flying squirrel
(Glat�comys snbrrnus coloral�rs), gray bat (iLL��o/is grrsescens), L�diana bat (dlyotis sorlolis),
Appalachiau elktoe (Alos�niclonta rm�enelimrn), spruce-fir ntoss spider (nTicrohe.�ro•n monlivagn),
sm�ll �vhorled pogonia (Lsoh•io medeolordes), sprelding avens (Gei�m r�rdinrrmr), rock gnome
licheit (Gynnrorlerma li�rern•e), aud uoithern Iong-eared bat (i�tyotis septenh•ion�rlis, NLEB) are
known from cwrent records and are listed as either threatened or endangered. According to Uie
USFWS, t-I�}m�ood Couuty is now considered occupied sununer range for Indiana bats and
NLEB.
Appalachiau e(ktoe are found in some well-osygenated streams with moderate to fast flowing
water and stable, mi�ed substrates of silt, sand, gravel, and/or cobble. Streauis that support this
mussel are q�pically much laiger than Messer Branch. The only recocds in Ha��vood Couttj� are
firom the Pigeon River and the lower poi�tions of the East Fork Pigeon aud West Fork Pigeon
rivers, there are no records from any tributaries to these rivers. The Pigeon River (Waterville

Lake) is 0.5 miles downsheam of tlie bridge and this reach of the river is over 20 river miles
downsh'eam of occupied mussel habitat.
Witli rare esceptiou, gray bats roost in caves year-iround. This project only involves a small
bridge replacement, so const�liction �vork will not estend far fiom tlte esisting right-of-way into
areas where caves could occtu'. There are no caves or mines visible uear the bridge and,
according to USGS data, the nearest widerground mine is over ( mile away. Therefore, gray b�ts
will not be affected by the project.
Like gray bats, Indiana bats and NLEB winter in caves or mines with stable, but not freezing cold
temperatures. However, in summer, they generally roost under the loose bark of trees, either
dead witl� peeli�ig bark or cavities, or live trees with shaggy bark such as white oak, maples,
sycamore and hickories. The construction work will require tl�e removal of trees near tl�e bridge.
Any obsh'ucting trees will be removed fi�om October l5 to April I S(winter clearing) when bats
should not be roosting in the area. Also, on June 1, 2015 we conducted a survey of the bridge and
did not see roosting bats or any evidence of bat usage (i.e. staining or guano). This bridge is only
about 6 feet above the �vater surface and very cool m�derneath. With winter tree clearing, we
recommend a"may affect, not lilcely to adversely afSect" detennination forNLEB and Indiana
bat.
Small �vhorled pagonia generally occurs iu open, d�ry, deciduous woods witli acid soil, though
habitats can include slopes along streams and mesic forest �vith white pine and rhododendron.
Land use adjacent to the bridge consists of maintained road shoulders, a lawn, and forest. There
is wooded habitat south and �vest of the bridge, but it is heavily shaded with rhododendrou. A
swvey was conducted on June 1, 2015 and no small whorled pogania �vere observed. The nearest
record for this plant is over 10 miles from the project.
The Caroliva nortliern flying squirrel, rock gnome Iichen, spruce-fir moss spider and spreading
avens are found in spruce-fir forests and other isolated high elevation locations in western North
Carolina. However, rock gnome lichen is an exception because it can occasionally be found at
lower elevatio�is in deep river gorges �vith high humidity and some vertical rock faces that are
periodically wet. The bridge site has an elevatiou of onty 2,420 feet and lacks rock faces and
other habitat conditions required by tliese species.
The project is limited in scope. Erosion and sedimentation control measures will be implemented
to minimize adverse effects of tlie work on aquatic habitats. H�bitats for listed species �ppe�r
lacking at the project site and none of these species were obseived during field visits. For these
reasons and those discussed above, we recommeud that a determivatiou of"no effect" on listed
species apply to this project, escept for NLEB �nd Indiana bats.
This project was revie�ved by NCDOT's Human Environment Unit in 2013-2014. No survey was
required for archeological resources. Tliere is a liouse near the bridge that is eligible for listing o��
the National Register, but the project received a detenuivatioi� of"no adverse effect" due to tlie
minimal auticipated impact of the culvert and the use of aluminum guardrails (see attached
forms).
NCDOT best management practices will be used to minimize and control sediment�tion and
erosion on this project. Tlie co»struction foreman will review all erosion control measures daily
to ensure sedimentation and erosion controls are being effectively controlled. If the devices are
not functioning as intended, Uiey will be replaced immediately witli better devices.

Lnp�cts to Waters of the United States
Messer Branch (DWQ Class: C) is shown on the USGS topographic map as a perennial stream.
Tlie channel is well defined with a substrate of sand, silt, cobble and bedrock and is
approsimately 6 feet in width. The stream has sufficient flow to support fish and other aquatic
life. Messer Branch Flo�vs to the Pigeon River. The Pigeon River meets the detinition of a
Traditional Navigable Water ("I`NW). For these reasons, we believe Messer Brancli is a
Relatively Permanent Water (RP� and is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Anny Corps of
Engineers. In order to construct tlie project, it will be necessary to impact waters of the United
States in the French Broad River Basin (CU 06010I06). Specifically, NCDOT is requesting to
replace Bridge No. 273 with a"Uottomless" concrete culveit. Listed belo�v is a summaiy of the
proposed impacts.

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 applicant's 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 activiiy
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 "maybe"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:

SUMMARY OR CULT[JRAI.I2�SOURCrS 12�VI�W
B�•ief descripfion of revieiv nc(ivilies, resnlls of revieiv, nnr! conclrrsions:
The project area is located in the north-central portlon of the county, east of White Oak Moimtain and direcUy
south of Waterville Lake. Messer Branch, included within the French Broad River Drainage Basin, constitutes a
second order stream flowing south to north through the project area. It empties into the Pigeon River/Waterville
Lake a short distance north of the bridge location. A strongly sloping topography characterizes the majoriry of the
APE and area surrounding this relatively incised stream valley.
A map review and site file search was conducted a[ the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on Tuesday, August 20,
2013. No previously documented archaeological si[es are located within the projects APE or adjacent to the study
area. Five archaeological surveys have been conducted in this general vicinity which resulted in the recordation oF
numerous prehistoric archaeological resources (Stephenson 1985, Snedeker 1986, Brown & Rogers 1990, Noel &
Snedeker 1993, Espenshade & Garrow 1998�. These sites are ahnos[ exclusively relegated to upland contexts such
as hilltops, ridges, and knolls. In some cases, benches and ridge-toes were also utlllzed, but to a far lesser degree.
Severe soil deflation was noted at the majority of the upland si[es. As a result, few were deemed significant, and
therefore did not necessitate avoidance or inclusion on the National Register o( Historic Places (NRNP). The
relatively high upland site densities in this section of Haywood County are likely a consequence of the severe
terrain, lack o( habitable (loodplains, and resource orien[atlons. Based on this information, the constricted Messer
8ranch stream valley would likewise harbor prehis[oric sites on well-dralned, upland laridforms or well-drained,
elevated stream terraces. Following revlew oF nearhy prehistoric archaeological sites and others in Haywood
County, the APE does not fit tlie typical location expected to uncover past activiry assoclated with prehistoric
oaupations.
An inspec[ion of Natio�ial Register of Historic Places (NRHP), State Study Listed (SL), Locally Designated (LD),
Detennined Ellgible (DE), and Surveyed Site (SS) properties employing resources available on the NCSHPO website
conduded that none of the above designared property types were located within or adjacent to the project area.
Historic maps of Haywood Cowity were appraised for evidence of former structure locations, land use patterns, or
other confirmation of hlstoric occupa[ion at this locale and archaeological/hisrorical reference materials were

inspected as well. In general, the historical review established an absence of NRHP listed properties, archaeological
sites, or ceineteries within the APE.
Further, topographic, geologic, environmental, and NRCS soil survey maps (CxA, BsE) were referenced to evaluate
ecological, geomorphological, hydrological, and other elements that may have resulted In past oaupation at this
location, Construction design data was examined for determining the potential iinpacts to the APE ground
sur(aces. Aerial photographs (NCDOT Spatial Data Viewer) and the Google Street View map application (when
amenable) were also examined/utilized for addltional assessment of hydrological, agricultural, modern earth-
moving, and other eroslve disturbances that may rypify the APE.
I�ricf L.eNlannlion of ivky tl�e nvai/nb/e iuforn+nlion provirles a reliable �nsis for rensonnGly predicling
�hnt tliere nre no rmrdenlified hisloric praNerties in llie APL:
The projec[ APE contalns no NRHP listed historic propertles, previously documented archaeological sites, or
cemeteries. Predicated on aerial imagery, soil and topographic data, the Bridge No. 273 APE holds little to no
potentlal of embracing significant NRHP eligible archaeological resources. The curving of the SR1346 roadway, and
the siinilarly snaking Messer Branch create severely sloping ground surfaces wi[hin and proximal to the APE. Only
[he northeastem project quadrant embraces a landform (terrace w/ CxA soils) worthy of habitation. Two domestic
structures and a cemetery (Teague) are depicted at this location (U5G5 Cove Creek Gap topo) In the past, while
aerial imagery relates today, the presence of one house and a large agricultural garden plot fronting Messer
Branch. Potential exists for uncovering a few historic or prehistoric artifacts from this landfonn locatlon, but the
house and cemetery are located beyond any potential impact areas, and the probability of documenting intact,
signi(icant archaeological deposits in the actual APE is unlikely.
Since the bridge replacement is diminutive in scope, state-funded, and proposes no alteration of undis[urbed
ground areas beyond the existing ditch-lines, meaningful archaeological sites/deposits are unlikely to be affected
by the projec[. No iurther archaeological input or work will be necessary for this NCDOT bridge replacement
project.
