site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. See Attached
VII. 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.
Updated 11/1/2005
Page9of12

Attachment:
VII. Impact Justification
(Avoidance /Minimization)
Avoidance:
The proposed force main line avoids impacts to Wetlands /Waters of the U.S. to the
greatest extent possible. An existing cleared sewer easement is being utilized for
construction of the force main. This allows avoidance of impacts to forested wetlands .
This route avoids all wetlands except for the 4 perpendicular stream crossings as shown
on the attached drawings. Impacts to wetland area #2 have been avoided by installing the
force main below an existing jurisdictional culvert. Each of the 4 jurisdictional stream
crossings occur at a point where the stream crossing is narrow. Other wider stream
crossings which could have been utilized were avoided. The existing easement generally
follows a tributary of Stonecutter Branch. Other routes along Stonecutter Branch were
considered for the force main. Other routes considered would have required new
easements with new permanent impacts .Following the existing easement eliminates the
need for new permanent impacts.
M1n1TI11ZatlOn:
All impacts are temporary. Excavation across the 4 streams will be confined to the trench
only. Excavated material from the trench will be returned as backfill after the pipe is
installed .The stream beds will be returned to original grade. Streambeds will be
stabilized with biodegradable erosion control matting. Trenches will not remain open
overnight. A stormwater management plan will be utilized to prevent adjacent upland
soils from silting into the stream.

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
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 Carolina (see DWQ website for most current
version.).
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.
Impacts are below the 1 acre/150' threshold
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http•//www nceep net/pages/inlieureplace.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed,
please check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:

Biological Assessment
For
Federally Protected Species
Project:
Thunder Road Force Main
Owner:
Town of Spindale
This assessment is for installation of 8,722 linear feet of 12" force main in
the Town of Spindale, Rutherford County. The force main is to be constructed
within an existing 30 wide mowed sewer easement. The sewer easement passes
through forested upland .property which parallels a tributary of Stonecutter
Branch. The sewer easement crosses this tributary 4 times. A submittal to the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is being prepared for these stream crossings.
Habitat is predominately clay or rocky clay slopes with mowed grass vegetation.
Streams are narrow with well defined streambanks.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service lists the following threatened and
endangered species for Rutherford County:
Common Name Scientific Name Status Occurrence
Indiana bat M otis sodatis E Possible
Dwarf-flowered heartleaf Hexast lis naniflora T Possible
Small whorled o onia Isotria medeoloides T Possible
White irisette Sis rinchium dichotomum E Possible
Rock gnome lichen Gymnoderma lineare E Possible
A survey was performed along the project corridor in October 2007 to
investigate the habitat and potential for presence of the listed species for the
construction corridor. Findings are as follows:
The Indiana bat is a small brown to black bat with a wingspan of 9 to 11
inches and weighs about three-tenths of an ounce. Large numbers of Indiana
bats cluster together during hibernation. During the winter the bats hibernate in
caves, or occasionally abandoned mines. After hibernation in the summer the
bats roost under loose tree bark on dead or dying trees. Habitat for the Indiana
Bat is not present at this site. No individuals were found.
The Dwarf-flowered heartleaf is a small flower that is less than .4 inch
long, with narrow sepal tubes (never more than .28 inch wide). The jug shaped
flowers range from beige to dark brown, sometimes greenish or purplish.
Leathery evergreen leaves are dark green and heart shaped. The flower is often
Page 1 of 3
N:\Projects\07245-SPA\Permits\Engr\wetland\Biological Assessment.doc

associated with Pacolet, Madison, or Musella soils. This plant has been found on
slopes and creekheads along streams. Pacolet Soils and streamsides are
located along the project corridor. Areas with habitat for this plant were observed,
but no individuals were found.
The Small whorled pogonia is a perennial with long, pubescent roots
and a smooth, hollow stem 9.5 to 25 centimeters tall terminating in a whorl of 5 or
6 light green, elliptical leaves that are somewhat pointed and measure up to 8 by
4 centimeters. The flower (or occasionally two flowers) are located at the end of
the stem. This species is typically found in oak-hickory or acidic cove forests.
Herbaceous cover tends to be sparse, however at least two sites are
characterized by fairly dense stands of New York fern. Sites historically known to
support this plant range from 2000 to 4000 feet in elevation. This sewer line
project occurs in an area which is 900 to 1000 feet in eleva#ion. No Small
whorled pogonia was observed along the project corridor.
The White irisette grows in a dichotomously branching pattern. 4-8
inches tall; basal leaves are pale bluish-green: tiny white flowers (.3 inch) with
reflexed petals in a cluster of 4-6 at the ends of winged stems; fruit is round with
3-6 seeds. The plant flowers in the summer and is typically found in dry to moist
oak-hickory forests were the canopy of the trees is thin and often where down
slope runoff has removed much of the litter layer ordinarily present on these
sites. This plant has been found in the mountains of North and South Carolina.
This site does not occur in the mountains.
Soils may provide some marginal habitat. No White irisette was observed along
the project corridor.
The Rock Gnome Lichen grows in dense colonies of narrow (0.04 inch)
straps that are blue-grey on the upper surface and are generally shiny-white on
the lower surface: near the base they grade to black. Fruiting black bodies are
grown at the tips of the straps. They typically are found on rocks in areas of high
humidity either at high elevations (usually vertical cliff faces) or on boulders and
large rock outcrops in deep river gorges at lower elevations. The project area
has no habitat that fits this profile.. No Rock Gnome Lichen was found in the
project corridor.
Summary
Prior to assessing the project site, historical data was collected. There
were no known occurrences of plant or animal species that are Federally
protected. Some habitat exists for dwarf-flowered heartleaf. Onsite investigation
did not reveal the presence of this plant. Based upon existing data and based
upon a survey of the site, the determination for Federally Protected Species is
NO EFFECT.

RE: Thunder Road Force Main

Rutherford County, NC
BP Barber Project No. 07245
BP Barber is providing engineering and environmental services to the Town of Spindale,
NC for the referenced project. The work consists of approximately 8,772 linear feet of 12"
sewer force main. The force main is to be installed within an existing Town of Spindale
easement.
Attached are plan and profile drawings of the project for your use. We have performed a
site visit and pedestrian inspection of the site. In our opinion, there appear to be no eligible
cultural resources onsite. The site is an existing sewer easement with an existing sewer line.
This easement is grassed and maintained by periodic mowing. BP Barber has performed a data
search at the State Preservation Office in Raleigh, NC to search for recorded sites along the
project corridor. We found no records indicating known sites for this project.
We request your concurrence. If you have questions, or if you require additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
BP Barber

RE: Thunder Road Force Main
For the Town of Spindale
Rutherford County, NC
BP Barber Project No. 07245
Dear Mr. McHenry:
Per our telephone conversation, I have attached plans showing the location of a
proposed sewer force main that is to be placed within an existing mowed sewer easement.
The work consists of installation of approximately 8,772 linear feet of 12" force main.
The route generally parallels an existing stream (tributary of Stonecutter Branch) in the
Broad River Basin. There appears to be no suitable habitat that would support trout.
Please review this project and issue your concurrence. If you have questions, or if
you require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
BP Barber
