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.

NCDOT best management practices (BMPs) will Ue used to minimize and control sedimentation
and erosion. The consh�uction foreman will review the BMPs daily to ensure eirosion and
sedimentation is being effectively controlled. If the foreman determines U�e devices are not
fimctioning as inYended, they will be replaced immediately with better devices.
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). Specifically, NCDOT is requestiug to
replace Bridge No. 207 witl� a four-sided culvert. The impacts are listed in the tab]e below:

application:
The project study area is mostly comprised of mowed/maintained residential on the east and pasture on the west.

Traffic will be detoured off-site. Erosion and sedimentation control measures will be installed. Water will be diverted around the
construction area. The old bridge will be removed. The proposed stucture will be replaced on its existing alignment. The new
culvert structure will be a 18' by 4.75' four-sided culvert with sills and baffles. The channel will be excavated and realigned for
low flow shaping, and a floodplain bench with stabilization will be established on each bank. Water will be pumped around the

D. 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.

Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), DWQ Surface Water or Wetland Standards, ❑ Yes � No
or Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 26 .0200)?
2b. 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.
