SUBJECT: Nakionwide Permit #13 and 33
Bridge No. 17 on NC 47 (Junior Order Home Road) over Swearing Creek; Class C
WBS project no.: 45736.1, l
Davidson County, NC
Dear Mr. Thomas,
We are requesting a Nationwide 13 and 33 permit for replacement of Bridge No. 17 on NC 47
(Junior Order Home Road over Swearing Creek (Class C) iji Da�idson County. I ha�e attached a
pre-construction notification application, a stormwater management plan, permit drawings, a
Northern long-eared bat 4{d} Streamlined Consultation Form, concurrence letters with the
USFWS, and No Survey Required forms from NCDOT Cultural Resources for Historic
Architecture and Archeology. The project will perniaa�ently impact 85' of stream bank for bank
stabilization and Eemporarily impact 2i' for instaliation of an imper�ious dike necessary for bank
installation of bank stabilization. Also, 0.01 acres of the stream bed for a temporary causeway.
This will be within the area of the pei�manent bank stabilization. The streambed wiil be restored
to preconstruction contours once the causeway is remo�ed.
The project area was sur�eyed for Schweinitz's 5unflower (T) on September 4, 2015 by Amy
Euliss, and none were found. Also, there are no known populations of Schweinitz's sunflower
within 1 mile of the project area. Therefore, it was determined that there will be no effect on
5chweinitz's sunflower.
NCDOT previously committed to a tree clearing moratorium from May 15-August 15 as a
conser�ation measure to avoid disturbing potential Northein long-eared bats in their summer
roosting habitat under the 'Inte��im 4d z�ute'. See attached concurrence letters. However, with the
issuance of the 'Final4d rule', NCDOT will no longer meet the moratorium. See attached
`Northern Long-eared Bat 4(d) Rule Streamlined Consulkation form for more info��mation.
Thus, for the proposed action, NCDOT has committed to the co�isecvation measures listed below:

no.45736.1.1.
As of Apri12, 2015, the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalas; NLEB) is listed by the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (LTSFWS) as "Threatened" with an Interim 4d rule including
Da�idson County within NCDOT Di�ision 9
(http://www.fws.go�/raleigh/species/cntylist/nc counties.html). The project involves a 404
permit and state funds and is subject to 5ection 7 of the Endangered Species Act.
Using USGS mines shapefiie dataset, a desktop assessment was conducted for any mines within
one half mile of the project area. No mines were shown in the area. Therefore, no mines needed
to be checked on foot. In addition, no known caves are in the area for the project. Based on the
lack of mines and caves, no winter habitat will be affected by the project.
There are no manrnade dwellings of suitabie habitat that are proposed to be rernoved in the
project area. The project involves replacing an existing bridge with a metal deck, timber end
walls, timber beams, and metal raiis. The bridge was surveyed for presence of bats or e�idence of
bats, and neither was found. Thus, no structure moratorium will be implemented on the pmject.
According to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program {NHP) Biotics Database, most
recently updated in Apri12015, NLEB ha�e not been documented in Davidson County.
Howe�er, a rabies lab record that lacks specific location inforrnation exists for Davidson County
in Division 9. The closest specifically documented occurrence of NLEB is in Wilkes County
(NHP 2001 rnist net record), more than 54 miles from the project site. Potential summer roosting
and foraging habitat in the forrn of forested areas interspersed with fields, and water sources do
exist in or around the project.
The project area involves minirnal tree clearing. NCDOT commits to a tree clearing moratorium
in the project area from May 15 to August t 5 of any calendar year to a�oid disturbing potential
Northern long-eared bats in their summer roosting habitat.
Based on the results of proxirnity to known occurrences of NLEB, potential foraging and roosting
habitat within the study area, and currently a�ailable guidance from USFWS, we deterrnined that

the project area will have a biological conclusion of Mcry Affect-Not Likely to Adversely Affect for
NLEB. NCDOT believes that the requirements of Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA have been satisited
and hereby request your concurrence. Thank you for your assistance with the project. Ifyou
