Request for a Jurisdictional Determination of Waters of the United — Three Low
Impact Bridge Sites, Rockingham County, NC.
Dear Mr. Bailey:
ARCADIS has performed a stream and wetland delineation at three low impact
bridge sites in Rockingham County, NC for the North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT). NCDOT is proposing to replace these bridges. Information
for each site, including a brief site description is attached.
The three sites are:
Rockingham County
• Bridge 07 on SR 2427 (Benaja Road) over Benaja Creek (17BP.7.R.100)
• Bridge 39 on SR 2316 (Bethany Road) over Jacobs Creek (17BP.7.R.101)
. Bridge 283 on SR 2686 (Richardson Drive) over Little Troublesome Creek
(17BP.7.R.104)
This letter serves as a formal request for a Jurisdictional Determination for each site.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me either by phone or email.
Sincerely,
ARCADIS US

Bridge 7 over Benaja Creek on SR 2427 (Benaja Road)
17BP.7.R.100
Bridge 7 is located approximately 3 miles south of Reidsville near the Benaja Road — U529 intersection.
There are one perennial stream and four wetland located in the study area.
Benaja Creek (SA) flows roughly east to west across the study area. It has low banks that are well
vegetated.
WB appears to be an old mill pond. It is separated from SA by a narrow but tall berm. There is also a
berm/dam with spillway structure to the east of WB and outside the study area. WC is a large floodplain
wetlands. There is more standing water to the south than near SA. WC is another large floodplain
wetlands. The online web soil survey shows a quarry/pit in this area. None was identified in the field.
WE has standing water throughout. There are several large channels in WE. However, none were
flowing and they terminate within WE.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetadon, stream classification, eta Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter U in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stresm under review (e.g., the stream flows &�om a pashue
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
