Hanes Mill Rd, Ste. 103 Winston-Salem, NC 27105 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. �Nothing Compares���_ S�aleoCNorthCazolina � DepartmentofTravspotlation � DivisionofAighways,Division70ffice ]584 Yanceyvilie Sheet, Greensboro, NC 27405� P. O. Box 14996, Greensborq NC 27415-4996 336A87-0000 Transportation PAT McCRORY Govemor NICHOLAS J. TENNYSON 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.

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.

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. Page 10 of 11 PCN Form — Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version 5.
