TENNYSON Secremry NC Division of Water ResoLuroes Winston-Salem Regional O�ce Attn: Mr. Dave Wanucha 450 W. Haues Mill Rd, Ste. 103 Winston-Salem, NC 27107 Subject: Nationwide 14 Permit Application and Jordan Lalce Riparian Buffer Authorization for the replacement of Bridge No. 207 ou SR 1522 (Lakeside Ave) over Seivice Creek. Alamance County, North Cairolina, WBS Element No. 17BP.7.R.63 Dev� Mr. Bailey aaid Mr. Wanucha: The Noith Carolina Deparhneut of Trausportation (1VCDOT) is proposing to replace a fuuctionally obsolete 18.5' x 11' single spu� timber bridge with a new 18' x 4.75' four-sided culvert with sills and baffles. An off=site detour will be used to couvey traffic during conshuction. The project will also include minor approach work on the existing roadway. Please find enclosed a PCN application, Stormwater Management Plan, Culvert Survey Report, permit drawiugs, buffer drawings, Erosion ConYrol Plan, a USGS quad map, SHPO Concurrence Forms, and photograpl�s. The Nortli Carolina Nahu�al Heritage Database was checked for records of threatened and endangered species. The database lists ito species for Alamance County that have federal status. The Bald eagle is protected in evety county in North Caroliva under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. No suitable feeding/water source is located within one mile of the project study area to support Bald eagle habitat, including the 660-foot radius fiom tlie edge of the study area. Since there was uo foraging habitat within Yhe review area, a suivey of the project study area within 660 feet of the project lunits was noY conducted. Mr. Gary Jordan (LTSFWS) recently released tl�e Prog�•ammatic Conference Opinioil(PCO) for tUe recently listed Northern Long- eared Bat (NL�B). This opinion states, in part, that "... it is the Se���ice's conference opirziorz that NCDOT activities in easteNn North Cmroli»a (Division 1-8), as piroposed, are not likely to jeoprn•dzze the conta�zated existe�2ce of the NLEB. " This project was reviewed by NCDOT's Human Snviroivnent Unit in 2012 for potenYial affects to historical architecture and archaeology. It was determined that no survey was required for archaeology or historic architecture, as there would be no eligible archaeological or historic resources present witl�in the project study area. The project sYudy area is comprised mostly of maintainedh�esidential land on the east and pasture to the west. Seivice Creek flows tlu•ougli a cow pasture and significant damage to the stream has occurred as a resulY of the catCle intrusion. There are no additional jurisdictional featares associated wiYh Bridge 207 other tlian Service Creek. �Nothing Compares�_ State of North Camlina I Depanment ofTransportation � Division ofAighwnys, Division 7 0ffice 1584 Yanceyvilie Street, Grecnsbom, NC 27405� P.

Impacts to Waters of the United States Seivice Creelc (DWR Class: WS-V, NSW) is shown ou the USGS topograpl�ic map as a perennial stream. The channel is well defined with a substrate }�rimarily composed of sand, silt, and g.avel and is approximately 5-10 feet in width. From the project site, Service Creek flows generally southeast for approximately 430 miles to its confluence witli the Haw River. Tl�e Haw River meets the de�nition of a Traditional Navigable Water. For tllese reasons, we believe Service Creek is a Relatively Pennaneut Water and is under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Coips of Engineers. In order to construct the project, it will be necessaiy to impact waters of the United States in the Cape Fear River Basin (HUC 03030002).

ImpactJustification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. The proposed project is to remove and replace a structurally deficient bridge and replace it with a four-sided culvert. Roadway approach work is minimized as much as is practical to reduce the overall project footprint. Impacts to the associated protected riparian buffers have also been reduced by promoting sheet flow as well as providing grass shoulders to promote infiltration. An off-site detour will be employed to avoid the need for a temporary parallel structure. Bank stabilization will be minimized to those areas where deemed necessary. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. Erosion and sedimentation BMPs will be installed prior to construction. Water will be diverted around the work area to prevent sedimentation of downstream aquatic resources. Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of surface waters, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US and coordination (including a pre-construction meeting) with the Division Environmental Supervisor.

Is this an after-the-fact permit application? ❑ Yes � No 2c. If you answered "yes" to one or both of the above questions, provide an explanation of the violation(s): 3. Cumulative Impacts (DWQ Requirement) 3a. Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in � yes � No additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? 3b. If you answered "yes" to the above, submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the most recent DWQ policy. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description. Per the NC DWQ April 10, 2004 Version 2.1 Cumulative Impacts policy, small scale public transportation projects — such as widening projects, bridge replacements and intersection improvements — have a"low potential for cumulative impact since little (if any) new impervious surface is added and the projects are usually in already developed locales." This proposed project is within a somewhat developed landscape (i.e. existing residential homes in the vicinity), this is not a road on a new location (i.e. there is an existing road and bridge structure and thus, the area already contains impervious surfaces) and the project drains to Service Creek, which is Class WS-V; Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) (i.e. not HWQ or ORW or 303(d) listed waters). We anticipate the NC DWR will advise us if a qualitative or quantitative analysis is needed. 4. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Requirement) 4a. Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility. It is not anticipated that this project will generate any wastewater as it is a roadway project. Page 10 of 11 PCN Form — Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version 5.
