Subject: Nationwide 14 Permit and Neuse River Buffer Application for the replacement of
Bridge No. 221 on SR 1135 (Moorefields Road) over Rocky Run, Orange County,
North Carolina, WBS Element No. 17BP.7.R.87
Dear Mr. Bailey and Mr. Wrenn:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to replace a
functionally obsolete 18'6' single span timber bridge with a new 2@12'x6' reinforced concrete
box culvert with l' and 1.5' sills. An off-site detour will be used to convey traffic during
construction. The project will also include minor approach work on the existing roadway.
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Database was checked for records of threatened and
' endangered species. The database lists four species for Orange County that have federal status.
Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is protected in every counTy in North Carolina under the
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon),
Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii), and smooth coneflower (Echinacea Zaevigata) are listed as
endangered.
Habitat for bald eagle primarily consists of mature forest in proximity to large bodies of open
water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized for nesting sites, typically within 1.0 mile of
open water. A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area, as well as the area within a
1.13-mile radius (1.0 mile plus 660 feet) of the project limits, was performed on January 12, 2016
using 2013 color aerials. Several nearby impoundments were identiiied as water bodies large
enough and sufficiently open to be considered potential feeding sources. A field scoping meeting
on February 19, 2014 determined that the subject project would have no effect on bald eagle.
Additionally, a review of the NCNHP database on January 12, 2016 revealed no known
occurrences of this species within 1.0 mile of the project study area. The closest known
occurrence is approximately 1.8 miles southwest of the project. Due to the lack of habitat, known
occurrences, and minimal impact anticipated for this project, it has been determined that the
subject project will not affect this species.
Dwazf wedgemussel are small freshwater bivalves found in small streams less than five meters
wide to large rivers more than 100 meters wide. The closest record of dwarf wedgemussel is an
historic occunence in the Eno River approximately 5.0 miles north of the subject bridge.
Therefore, the subject project will have no effect on this species.

se�rerary
Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils. Several
populations in North Carolina are on highway rights-of-way, roadsides, or on the edges of
artificially maintained clearings. A field scoping meeting on February 19, 2014 determined that
the subject project would have no effect on Michaux's sumac. A review of the NCNHP database
on January 12, 2016 revealed no known occurrences of this species within 1.0 mile of the project
study area. The closest known occunence is an historic occurrence approximately 3.0 miles
northwest of the project. Therefore, the subject project will have no effect on this species.
Smooth coneflower is typically found in open woods, glades, cedar ban�ens, roadsides, clearcuts,
dry limestone bluffs, and power line rights-of-way, usually on magnesium and calcium rich soils.
Smooth coneflower occurs in plant communities that have been described as xeric hardpan
forests, diabase glades or dolomite woodlands. Optimal sites are characterized by abundant
sunlight and little competition in the herbaceous layer. Natural fires, as well as large herbivores,
historically influenced the vegetation in this species' range. A field scoping meeting on February
19, 2014 determined that the subject project would have no effect on smooth coneflower. A
review of NCNIIP database revealed no known occurrences of smooth coneflower within 1.0
mile of the study area. The closest known occun•ence is approximately 9.5 miles southeast of the
project. Therefore, the subject project will have no effect on this species.
This project was reviewed by NCDOT's Human Emironment Unit in 2013 for potential affects to
historical architecture and archaeology. It was determined that no suivey was required for
historical architecture. Surveys were conducted for archaeology on October 16, 2013 and
February 27, 2014, and it was deterxnined there would be no eligible archaeological resources
present within the project study area.
The project study area is comprised mosfly of maintained roadway, hardwood forest, and
residential land. There are no additional jurisdictional features associated with Bridge 221 oYher
than Rocky Run.
NCDOT best management practices (BMPs) will be used to minimize and control sedimentation
and erosion. The conslruction foreman will review the BMPs daily to ensure erosion and
sedimentation is being effectively controlled. If the foreman determines the devices are not
functioning as intended, they will be replaced immediately with better devices.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
Rocky Run (DWR Class: WS-II; HQW, NSW) is shown on the USGS topographic map as a
perennial stream. The channel is well defined with a substrate primarily composed of bedrock,
boulder, cobble, gravel, sand, and silt, and is approximately 7-10 feet in width. From the project
site, Rocky Run flows approximately 23 miles to its confluence with Sevenmile Creek.
Sevenmile Creek then flows approximately 0.7 mile to its confluence with the Eno River. The
Eno River meets the definition of a Traditional Navigable Water. For these reasons, we believe
UT to Buckwater Creek is a Relatively Perxnanent Water and is under the jurisdiction of the U.S.
Ai1ny Corps of Engineers. In order to conshuct the project, it will be necessary to impact waters

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. 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 reinforced concrete box
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 parallei 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.

2c. If you answered "yes" to one or both of the above questions, provide an explanation of the violation(s):
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWQ Repuirement)
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
surtaces) and the project drains to Rocky Run which is Class WS-II; High Quality Waters (HQW), Nutrient Sensitive
Waters (NSV� (i.e. not ORW or 303(d) listed waters). We anticipate the NC DWR will advise us if a qualitative or
quantitative a�alysis 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.

5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. WiII this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or � Yes � No
habitat?
5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act � Yes ❑ No
impacts?
� Raleigh
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.
❑ Asheville
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
North Carolina Natural Heritage Database and onsite investigation.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat? ❑ Yes � No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
This bridge replacement project takes place in Orange County, which is not near any coastal or tidal habitat that would
support EFH (i.e. salt marshes, oyster reefs, etc.).
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation � Yes � No
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
This project was reviewed by NCDOT's Human Environment Unit in 2013 for potential affects to historical architecture
and archaeology. It was determined that no survey was required for historical architecture. Surveys were conducted for
archaeology on October 16, 2013 and February 27, 2014, and it was determined there would be no eligible
archaeological resources present within the project study area.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain? � Yes ❑ No
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements; MOA
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination? North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program
