'Chis proposTl entails improving the esisting gravel road to meet current NCDOT secondary roa<l standards. The proposed improvements have beeu identified as necessary maintenance and safety improvements. Funds have been allocated for this project and NCDOT would like to perform these activities in 2016. Enclosed are � PCN applic�lion, preliminaryjuriscliction�l deterinination for�u, SHPO Forms, plan sheets showing the proposed �vork, photographs and a marked counq� map and USGS topogrTphic map. The North CarolinT Natural Heritage Program lists 40 species with federTl stah�s for I]enderson County that are known from current records or �vere known to occur in the county historically. The bog tmtle (Gl>>p�emys mr�hlenhergii) is listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance to the northen� bog turtle. Eight species, Caroliva uorthern flying squirrel (Glnucom��s saGrinrrs colornrus), Appelecl�ian elktoe mussel (dlnsmidontn rm�enelimur), swamp pink (Helonias bu/Intn), sm�ll �vhorled pogonia (Isoh•rn niedeoloi�les), bunched arrowhead (Sngi�tnrrn fnscicrdnln), mountain sweet pitcher plant (Snrracenin jonesri), �vhite irisette (Sis.prnrchium drel�otomuni), and northern long-eared b�t (NLEB, �19��oirs se��eim•ionrdis) have current records and are listed as threatened or endangered. There �re no records fa• threatened or end�ngered aquatic species in the Kyles Creek watershed. Kyles Creek is too small aud cold for mussels. And, there are no records for Appalachiau elktoe nnissels downstream of Kyles Creek. The project area, which is comprised of single family homes, yards, and small farms, is too low iu elevation (<2,500 feet) and lacks the spruce-fir and no�thern harclwood h�bit�ts needed by Carolina northern flying squirrel. And, there are no wetlands uear the road that could support sw�mp pink, bunched arrowhe�d, or mountain sweet pitcher plants. There are some forested habitats that �vill be cleared, but this will be restricted to a fe�v feet from the eaistiug road shoulders where small-whorled pTgoni� is unlikely to occur. White irisette is also found in forested habitats, but usually fu�ther east in Henderson County from the project are� where there �Nothing Compares� Slala ot Nonh Camlino I Ucpatlmenl ol T�eiupona�ion I Di��sion 14 253 \1'eFster Road I S}'M1'a, Notlh Carolina 28779 PhoncB?8-586-2141 I Fa�82S-S8G-1013 SR 1573 Page 2 Jamiary 20, 2016 are mature oak-hicko�y stauds on steep rocky terrain and shallow soils. For these reasons, we recommend a"no effecP' detenninetion of this project on fhese listed terrestrial species. The only potential habitat for listed species iu the project area may be suitable roost trees and foraging areas for bats. There are no caves visible ne�r the road. According to USGS d�ta, the nearest undergrouud mine is about 13 miles away and Bat Cave is over 7 miles to the e�st. Regardless, this project shoid<I not dishu•b hibernating bats nearby, if present, because it will not require blasting encl the road �vill be improved ou its existing aligmneut. There �vill be some clearing of forested areas which may heve suitable roost trees. But, according to available NC Nahual Heritage data, there are no known hibernacula or maternity roost trees within 0.25 mile or 150 feet, respectively, of the project area, so tree clearing and other construction �vork for the project shoidd qualify for the e�ception from the incidental take prohibition for NLEB under the 4d rule published January 14, 2016. This project �vas reviewed by NCDOT's Human Environment Unit in 2015 for potential effects to historic architecture and archaeology. It was determined that uo swveys were required for historic architecture and archaeology. Therefore, a determination of "no effect" of the project on culttu'al resources should apply (see attached S1IP0 forms). The best management prnctices will be used to minimize and coutrol sedimentation aud erosion on this project. Water will be temporarily diverted around the work area to minimize erosion and sedimentation during the culvert installation. Tl�e eonstruction foremau �vill review all erosion control measures daily to eusure that sedimentatiou �nd erosion are being effectively controlled. If the planned devices are not functioning as inteuded, they will be immediately replaced with better devices. Impacts ta Waters of the United States Kyles Creek (DWR Class: C Tr) is shown as a perennial strenm on the USGS topographic map. Kyles Creek flows to Clear Creek, which flows into Mud Creek, wl�ich theu reaches the French Broad River ebout 13 miles do�vnstream of the project area. The French Broad River meets the definition of � Traditional Navigable Water. Kyles Creek and its unnamed tributaries meet the definition of Relatively Permaneut Water and are under the jurisdiction of tl�e U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Iu order to construct the project in accordance with current NCDOT seconda�y road standards, it will be necessaiy to impact waters of the Ouited States in lhe French Broad River Basin (I IUC 06010105).

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 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: IMPORTANT NOTE: The information recorded on this form has not necessarilv been verified bv the Corps and should not be relied upon for later iurisdictional determinations. l-r,-,� %G�%� � -Zo -/� Signature and date of Signature and date Regulatory Project Manager person requesting preliminary JD (REQUIRED) (REQUIRED, unless obtaining the signature is impracticable) 4 Estimated amount of aquatic Class of resource in aquatic Site Number Latitude Longitude Cowardin Class review area resource 1 35.4159 -82.4072 R3UB1 200 linear feet Non Section 10 — non-wetland Projcd7}nd'ixgNo.(6Jnnn re) 15-I1-0017 ��I V C � HIS1'ORiC ARCHICTGCTURC AND LANDSCAP�S flOV 2 4 1015 NO SURV�Y RCQUIRrD FORM This form only pertains to Historic Architecture and Landscapes for this pr�.V1y�,�j��N 1 A is not valid for Archaeological Resources.

SUMMARY OP' CULTURAL RESOURC�S R�VI�W Briefdescriplion ofre��ieiv nc(ivities, resulls ofre��ieiv, nnd co�ichtslais: The Kyles Creek Road improvement project is located north of Hendersonville in �he northeastern portion of Henderson County, North Caroliva. The project area is plotted along the southeTst section of the Fruitland USGS 7.S topographic qundrangle (Figure 1). A roap review �nd site file search �vas conducted �t the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on March 19, 2015. No previously recorded archaeologicel sites have been identified within the APE or within a mile of the pr�ject According to the Nortli Carolina State Historic Preservltion Of'fice online data base (HPOWEB 2015), there are no known historic architectural resources within the APG that may yield intact arch�eological deposits. Topographic m�ps, USDA soil swvey maps, aerial photographs (NC One Map), and historic maps (North Carolina maps website) were esamined Cor infonnation on environmeutal and cidtural variables that may have contributed to prehistoric or historic settlement within the project limits and to assess the level ofground dishnbnnce. The APE for the project is situated mostly on moderate to steep side slopes �vith a draivage (Kyles Creek) to the east (Figure 2). Kyles Creek and one of its tributa�y are both crossed at the nor�hern end of the APE. The permit site is located at [I�e mmTmed tributary crossing. These waterways Tre all part of Ihe French Broad drainage basin. The APE consists of a mix of reside�itial properties and forests. Ground disturbance fran previous alterations to the topography to allow for ihe esisti��g road, homes, and utilities cover most of tlie APE. Undishu bed properties are minimal and consist mosNy of steep slope. Four soils series compose the A PG according to the USDA soil survey report for Henderson County (see Figure 2). The southern end consists of Hayesville loam (HyE). This is a well drained soil on steep slope of I S to 25 percent. This series is followecl by Edneyville Yine sandy loam (CdF), whicli is also a well drained soil with a much steeper slope of 25 to 45 percent. Alongside the drainages end Tt their crossings in ihe norlhern half, [he soil is Codorus loam (Co). This soil is moderately well drained to somewhat ..,Vn dkCHdEOLOOl' SORI E'1' RFOOI2ED' .�mq/nr 1he.ImmideJ,llinor 9Ynmpurmtimi ProJeeis ar Ovu/IJled hi �he7015 pmgmnm�nnc dy renienr. I of6 Projerl Trnckir�g No.: 15-11-��1% poorly dr�ined on nearly level landforms. Ho�vevcr, it �ppears to be much steeper based upon the co��tour image. Lastly, the drainage is bordered by Tate fine sandy loam (TeC), which covers only a small area of the APE. This too is well drained with � slope of 7 to I S percent. Generally, landforms with � slope of 15 percent or more are unlikely to yield significant archaeological sites and do not required subsurface testing. A review of OSA's site files shows no archaeologicll investiga�ions or sites within tlre vicinity of the current project. The lack of investiga[ions is due to the steep terrain and few development activities. Lastly, a historic map review was conducted. The 1889 USGS Saluda topographic map is one of the fiist to provide a reliable location for the project area (Figure 3). This map clepicts Kyles Creek �vith no road alongside the watenvay. The 1907 USGS Saluda map shows some development with a road along the eastern side of Kyles Creek but not along the current alignment (Figare 4). Also, no sh�uchn�es are ilhish'ated in the area either. The current road alignment to [he west of the creek first appears on the 1938 State HighwTy map for Henderson County (Pigure 5). However again, no struchues ere plotted on this section of road. Subsequent e�rly 20th century maps provide no finther useful information. Ii/YE'f E.\F1I(/11//(%O/!

Tliis is primarily due to the narro�v APG, previous ground disturbance causecl by the existing road, and slope in escess of I S percent. In addition, the historic maps sho�v no signific�nt Y'ormer hisbric structures within the APE. As long as impacts to the subsurface occw within Ihe defined APE, no fiuther archaeological work is recommended for the proposed improvements to Kyles Creek Road. If work should affect subsinface areas beyond the defined APG, further archaeological consultation might be necessary.
