Subject: Union County -Proposed Replacement of Bridge No. 890359 on SR 1304 (Pine
Oak Road). WBS Element No. lOB.209011
Dear Sir or Madam:
In an application dated Apri127, 2006, the North Carolina. Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) proposed to replace Bridge No. 890359 on SR 1304 (Pine Oak Road) near the town of
Waxhaw in Union County under Section 404 Regional General Permit number 19820003.
The NCDOT received correspondence form the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(NCDWQ) dated June 16, 2006 that requested additional information related to this project. The
following items were requested by the NCDWQ:
Provide the accurate amount of permanent and temporary stream impacts required to replace
the bridge with a culvert.
Submit a mussel survey to ensure that there will be no adverse effects to the Carolina
Creekshell, a state endangered and federal species of concern.
Provide an erosion control plan that is consistent with the sediment and erosion control Best
Management Practices described for High Quality Waters in "Design Standards in Sensitive
Watersheds".
The requested information has been enclosed for your review.
In summary, the existing 19-foot 10-inch long by 18-foot wide timber decked bridge will be
replaced with (2) 142-inch by 91-inch by 80-foot long corrugated metal pipe (CMPA). Low
flow will be maintained by burying one of the CMPA one foot below the existing stream bed
elevation while installing the second CMPA at an elevation that will allow it to function during
bank full events. Traffic will be maintained utilizing anoff-site detour.
The stream is an unnamed tributary to Twelve Mile Creek, which is located in the Catawba River
Basin, Hydrologic Unit 03050103.

Dear Mr. Moose:
The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has reviewed your submittal fora 401 Water Quality Certification for
the aforementioned project. Review of your application revealed it lacking necessary information required for making an
informed permit decision. The permit application was deficient in the following areas:
• The amount of impacts required for this project appears to be more than was identified in the Preconstruction
Notification (PCN) submittal. Please provide the accurate amount of permanent and temporary stream impacts
required to replace the bridge with a culvert.
• The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has identified Twelve Mile Creek and its tributaries as
habitat for the Carolina Creekshell, a state endangered and federal species of concern. Based on this information, a
mussel survey must be submitted to ensure there will be no adverse effects to this species.
• Due to the presence of state and federally listed species in Twelve Mile Creek and its tributaries, please include an
erosion control plan which is consistent with the sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices described
for High Quality Waters in "Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds" (15A NCAC 046.0124).
Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(a)(5), we will have to place the permit application on hold until we are
supplied the necessary information. You have 21 days to respond in writing with the requested information or notification
to this office that the information is forthcoming. If, at the end of the 21 days, this office has not received this information
in writing, we will assume you are withdrawing your application and it will be returned. Furthermore, until the information
is received by the DWQ, we request (by copy of this letter) that the US Army Corps of Engineers place the permit
application on hold.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Polly Lespinasse at [phone].

Memorandum to: Larry Thompson, DEO, Division 10
From: Karen M. Lynch, Environmental Supervisor
Natural Environment Unit, Biological Surveys Group
Subject: Freshwater mussel survey report for proposed culvert/bridge
replacements for crossings on an unnamed tributary to Fourmile Creek
and an unnamed tributary to Twelvemile Creek, Union County
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace a
culvert on Weddington Road (Moving Ahead Project) over an unnamed tributary (ut) to
Fourmile Creek and a bridge over an unnamed tributary to Twelvemile Creek, both in
Union County.
The federally endangered Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) is known to
occur in the Catawba and Yadkin River Basins in NC (and in several other SC basins.)
The Carolina heelsplitter has a fragmented, relict distribution, and is known to be
surviving in very few streams in NC including Waxhaw Creek (last live mussel was seen
in 1998) (Catawba River system) and Goose and Duck Creeks (Yadkin-Pee Dee River
system), all in Union County, North Carolina. The low numbers of individuals and the
restricted range of the surviving populations make them extremely vulnerable to
extirpation from a single catastrophic event.
Habitat for this species has been reported from small to large streams and rivers as
well as ponds that were likely former millponds on some of the smaller streams within
the species' historic range. Most individuals have been found along well-shaded
streambanks with mud, muddy sand, or muddy gravel substrates. Shade to ameliorate
warm waters and stability of stream banks appears to be very important to this species.

Prior to conducting in-stream surveys, a review of the NC Natural Heritage
Program (NCNHP) database was conducted to determine if there were any records of rare
mussels within the proposed project study area or receiving waters. This review indicated
that Fourmile Creek and its tributaries (subbasin 030834) did not have any historical
records of Carolina heelsplitter (in NC waters). Twelvemile Creek (including tributaries
- subbasin 030838) contained other records of state-listed mussels, Villosa constricts and
V. vaughniana but did not contain heelsplitter records (in NC waters). However, the

Carolina heelsplitter has been recorded in this subbasin in Waxhaw Creek where it was
last documented in 1998 although a relict shell was found more recently (2005) by The
Catena Group.
A mussel survey was conducted on these two unnamed tributaries on July 18, 2006
by Karen M. Lynch (Permit No. NC-2006ES 165) and Logan Williams (Permit No. NC-
2006ES 166). Mussel surveys were conducted from a point approximately 400 meters
downstream of the project crossing to a point approximately 200 meters upstream. Visual
(batiscope) and tactile methods were used to survey for mussels.
A survey of the ut to Fourmile Creek (SR 3468/Weddington Road) revealed poor
habitat for mussels. The stream was blown out directly below the pipe and the unnamed
tributary was too dry (both above and below the culvert to support mussel populations).
The ut continued for 70 m to the confluence with Fourmile Creek. (Fourmile Creek was
then surveyed above (200 m) and below (400 m) the confluence). This creek had been
stabilized in the past by large rocks in the banks. Habitat contained much boulder and
bedrock and in areas of sand/gravel was unconsolidated, providing unstable habitat. No
mussels were found in the 2.5-hour mussel survey.
The unnamed tributary to Twelvemile Creek (SR 1304/PineOak Road) also
contained poor habitat for mussels. The stream appears to be flashy with a large amount
of trash that had washed into the stream during storms. Below the bridge, the site is
impacted by sedimentation and banks are eroding. A large development is currently
underway adjacent to the unnamed tributary. No mussels were found during the 1.3 hour
mussel survey.
It is recommended that the NCDOT Division 10 consult with the USFWS regarding
concurrence for these projects.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
Page 5

SR 1304 (Pine Oak Road)
Union County
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The proposal to replace the
existing bride with pipe was made due to the fact that the this stream has been previously
impacted by an open cut for a utility project which was then stabilized with rip rap. There is also
an initial, as well as long term, cost savings when considering replacing a brid~~ipe.
Surface waters not affected by the construction of this project will be protected by not allowing
an~ging of construction equipment in or near the stream. Strict enforcement of the sediment
and erosion control BMP's for the protection of wetlands and surface waters will be enforced
during all phases of project construction. Erosion and Sediment Control measures for Hi h _
Quality Waters will be implemented.
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 aze minimal. Factors
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
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Cazolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
In the event that the NCDOT is required to provide compensatory mitigation for this project
a request to the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Pro~xam will be made.
