TENNYSON sraerary Nationwide l4 Perinit Application SR 1353 — Hooper Lane — UTs French Broad River Henclerson County Stnte Project No. IdC.045165 (DWQ Minm• Permit I�'ce $240) Dear Ms. Beckwith: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to widen, grade, drain and p�ve two sections of SR 1353 to meet current NCD07' secoiidary road stand�rds for maintenance and safery. The middle sectio�i of the road will not be improved �t this time due to unresolved right-of-way and ongoing plauning for the replacement of the bridge over the Mills River. Funds have been alloc�ted for this project and NCDOT would Iike to perforro these activities in 2016. Enclosed are a PCv application, prelimin�iy jurisdictioual determination form, SHPO Forms, diagr�ms sho�ving the proposed work, photographs, vicinity �nd USGS topographic maps, and other supporting information. The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program lists 40 species with federnl status iu Henderson Count�� that �re known Gom current records or were known to occur in the couuty historically. The bog turde (Glypten»>s maJrlenbergii) is listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance to the northem bog tw41e. Eight species, Carolina northern flying squirrel (Glat�con�ys snbrinus coloraltis), Appalachian elktoe mussel (fllosn�idonla rm�enelinnn), swamp pink (Helonins Gullnln), small whorled pogonia (Isoh•in iner(eoloitles), bunched arrowhead (Sngittrn•ia fnscicrdnta), mountain s�veet pitcher plTnl (Snrrnceninjo»esii), ��hite irisette (Sis��rincltitnn �licho�omam), Tnd northern Iong-eare<I bat (NLEB, d�!>>olis sep�enn�ionnlis) have current records and are listed as tlireTtened or endangered. The sh�eams to be impaeted are uot suitable for mussels because they Tre small and have been channelized into maintained draivage ditches that receive heavy sediment lo�d IFom Tdjacent egricultural fields. There are recads for AppTlachian elktoe mussels in the Mills and the French Broad rivers nearby. However, curreut records are 5 om reaches of �hese riveis Ihat are upstream of the project area. Moreover, these streams have low discharges and impacts will oceur a considerable distance (�3/4 mile) upstreTm of potentially suitable mussel habitat in the French Bro�d River. Therefore, �ve recommend a determination of "no effecP' of this project on Appalachian elktoe mussel. �Nothing Compares'%� SINen(NmlhCarolina � Depanmento�Trnnsponnlionl Ui�isionld 2i3 WebslrrRosd I Sylra,NonhCamlino28]99 Pl�ane82S-SRG-21JI I Fo�82SS86-0OA3 SR 1353 Page 2 August 17, 2016 The project area is comprised of agriculhu�al fields and connnercial buildiugs. It is too lo�v in elevation 2,080 feet) and lacks the spruce-fir and northern hardwood habitats needed by Carolina no�thern Flying squirrel. White irisette is found in Henderson County southeast of the project area in mature aak-I�ickory stands on steep rocky terrain and shallow soils. Small wliorled pagonia can be famd in a variety of forested habitats, most often in mised white pine-hardwood second growth stauds with sparse unde�story cover. This project will not disturb �ny forested habitats and, thei�efore, it should have no effect on these species. There are no bogs or seep wetlands near the road that could support swamp pink or nrountain sweet pitcher plants. As noted, tlie streams are disturbed by heavy sediment loading and periodic excavation to maintain field drainage. There is some dnck potato (Snggifnria lafifolin) growing in the ditch downstream of Site 2, bnt there is no bunched arrowhead or other species of arrowhead with small leaves evident near Site 2 or Site L For these reasons, this project should have no effect on listed wetland plants. The only potential habitat for listed species in the project area may be foraging areas for NLEB, though uone of the project ai�ea is forested. This project shonld not disturb hibernatiug bats because it will not require blasting and there are no caves or underground roines neTr the road. Swnmer roosts for bats will not be affected because there will not be h�ee clearing or bridge/structu��e demolition associated with this project. And, SR 1353 does not fall within an area where kno�vn hiberuecula or materniry roost trees for NLEB a��e a concern, so the project should qualify for the esception fi�om the incidental kake prohibition under the Final 4d rule. TI»s project �vas reviewed by NCDOT's Human Environment Unit in 2016 for potential effects to historic architechire and archaeology. No swveys �vere reqaired for historic architecture and archaeology (see attached SHPO forms). Best management practices will be used to minimize and contr•ol erosion and sedimentation on this project. Stream flo�v will be temporarily diverted airoimd the work areas during the culve�t iustallations. The construction foreman will inspect all erosion control measures daily aud quickly maintain or replace devices that are not effective. Impacts to Waters of'tlic United States The stream at Site 1(Class WS-N B) is showu as a perennial stream on the USGS topographic map. As evident in aerial photography, the streams at Site I and Site 2(Class B) flow in continuous ditcltes about 0.8-0.9 miles to the French Broad River, which meets the definition of a Traditional Navigable Water. These tributaries meet the defiuition of Relatively Permanent Water and are under the jurisdiction ofthe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In order to construct the project in accordance wiUi current NCDOT secondary road standards, it �vill be necessary to impact waters of tl�e United States in the French Broad River Basin (HUC 06010105).

The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in this instance and at this time. 2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre-construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an o�cial determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the applicanYs acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This preliminary JD finds that there "maybe"waters of the United States on the subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the proposed activily, based on the following information: IMPORTANT NOTE: The information recorded on this form has not necessarilv been verified bv the Corps and should not be relied upon for later iurisdictional determinations.

SUMMARY OF HISTORIC ARCHIT�CTURE AND LANDSCAPES REVIEW Descriplio�r ofrevieiv nclivities, results, nn�l couclusia�s: HPOWeb reviewed on 207u1y 2016 and yfelded no NR, SL, LD, DE, or SS properties in the Area of Potential Effects (APE), Henderson County current GIS mapping, aerial photography, and tax information fndfcated an APE of predominantly cultivated fields with a concentration of commercial/industrial bufldings dating from the 1980s to the 2000s at the southern end of the project area (viewed 20 July 2016). Bridge Numbers 147 and 179, built in 1960 and 1962 respectively, are not eHgible for the National Register as they are not representative of any distinctive engineering or aesthetic type. Google Maps "Street View" confirmed the absence of critical hfstoric structures and landscapes in the APE (vfewed 20 ]uly 2016). No architectural survev is required for the projectas currentiv defined.

The county comprehensive architectural survey (1980) and later studies Include no properties in the APE.

SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Brief Aescriptio�t of revieiv nctivilies, res�d(s of revieiv, and couclusio»s: The Hooper Lane improvement project is loca[ed west of French Broad River, east of community of Mills River, and south of the Asheville Airport in the north�vestern portion oFHenderson County, North Carolina. The project area is plotted at the southarn end of the Skyland USGS 7.5' topographic quadrangle (Figure I). A map revie�v and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on ]une 30, 2016. No previously recorded arcl�aeological sites have been identified within the APE, but 28 sites (3 I HN4--31 HN7, 31 FIN9, 3 I HN I 0, 3 I HN34, 31 HN63, 31 HN79-31 HN82, 3 l HN87, 3 l HN I 51— 31 HN l 55, 31 HN 162-31 HN 165, 3 I HN 170, 3 I FIN 172, 31 HN 173, 31 HN 193, 31 FIN 194, and 31 HN265) are found within a mile. According ro the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office online data base (HPOWEB 2016), there are no known historic architectural resources within tlie APE that may yield intact archaeological deposits. Topographic maps, USDA soil survey maps, aerial photographs (NC One Map), ai�d historic roaps (Noi�th Carolina maps website) were exaniiued for information on environmental and cultural vviables that may have contributed to prehistoric or l�istoric settlement within the project limits and to assess the level of ground disturbance. Hooper Lane runs no�th to south (see Figure I). The APE for the inad is broken into hvo sections, which are situated within the Mills River floodplain and along stream terraces at the northern and southern ends. The Mills River is a tributary to the French Broad. Although the project does not cross the Mills River, three drainage ditches leading to the French Broad are. All three are found in the floodplain north of the Mills River. They represent fonner streams that have been modified/straightened in order to alleviate flooding. Permits are required fa� at least the hvo southern most ditcli crossings (near Sta. 44+61 and 55+21). It is possible another permit is needed for the northern most crossing (near S[a. 63+00) as well. Ground disturbance adjacent to the drainage ditches is likely high from excavations associated with past •N'o df2fHAF.'OL(Xi)'SUNI'(i 1' ftF.'00/ftliD"fom� fur Ihe AmrrtdedAlirm� Trmrspor(nlion Pwjecn asQuo(fed in tlre 10/5 Progsammnticdgnement. 1 of 7 Projecl Tsacking �\'o.: 16-06-0047 stream modification activities. The southern section of the APE heading nortli from NC 19l is Iocated within an industrial park with esisting structures, paved lots, bm•ied utilities, and ditches alongside the road (Figure 2). Modern ground disturUance is high in this area as well making it unlikely for intact archaeological deposits to be presenk The nortliern section starting at Jeffi�ess Road and heading south consists of agricultural fields and ditches on either side of the road (Figure 3). AlUiough disturbance is considered minimal in this section, the extent of the APE onto undistm�bed soils away fi�om the ditches is very limited and unlikely to yield significant archaeological resources. According to the USDA soil swvey report, five soil types cover the APE (see Figures 2 and 3). These include Bradson gravelly loam (BaB; BaC), Codorus loam (Co), Delanco loam (DeA), Rosman loam (Ro), and Toxa�vay silt loam (To). Most of these soils are nearly level except for the Bradson series, which has a slope of 2 to 7 percent for BaB variant and 7 to I S percen[ for BaC. The soils are also considered �vell drained to moderately well drained with the exception of the Tosaway series, tivhich is very poorly drained to poorly drained. lt is unlikely for significant sites to be found on the Toxaway series due to persistent �vetness. The other well drained soil series have the potential for sites if the APE were to extend further from esis[ing ground disturbances alongside Hooper Lane. A review of the si[e files show a high density of archaeological sites with 28 (31 HN4-31HN7, 31HN9, 31HNI0, 31HN34, 31HN63, 31FIN79-31HN82, 31HN87, 31HNISl-31FINI55, 31FIN162-31FIN165, 31HN170, 3lHN172, 31HN173, 3lHN193, 31HN194, and 31HN265) reported within a mile ofthe project area. Most (31HN4-31HN7, 31HN9, 31HN10, 31HN34, 31HN63, 31HN79-31HN82, 31HN87 31HN193, 3I FIN194, and 31 HN265) have yet to be assessed for the National Register, and only one (31 FIN152) has been recommeuded eligible. None of the known sites fall within the currently defined APE. The permit locations in the nortliern section of the APE have also been previously investigated. The hvo drainage ditches near Sta. 44+61 and 55+21 were included in the drehaeologica! S:nve�� ofthe Aroposed Fi�ench Broad Rirer 1!'ater hrlake Corrrdw• carried out by Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas (ACC) in 2009 (ER 09-0065). The third crossing near 63+00 that might require a permit was included in ACC's 2004 brfensh�e Arclraeologica! Seovey ofPlrase I ofUre Proposed iLfr!!s River Sewer Line Corridor (ER 02-9621). Shovel tests during both projects were excavated within I S m fi�om the diches at 30-m intervals along either side. No arcliaeological resources were identified at any of tlie pennit locations. A historic map review was also conducted for the project area. The earliest maps to depict the area with any great detail are the 1892 and I905 USGS Pisgah topographic maps (Figures 4 and 5). The 1892 map shows the Mills River and its floodplain, but no road is represented as following the alignment of Hooper Lane. The streams, which would later be converted into the present day drainage ditches, are also sliown. The modification of the streams likely disturbed some portions of the floodplain within the APE. The subsequent 1905 map continues to shows no cultural Yeatures near tlie project area. No roads or structw�es are present and the streams have yet to be modified. It is likely stream modification occurred during the 1920s. As a result of this map review, it is not expected that any hista•ic archaeological features will be encountered by this project. Brief ��pinnntiai of wh�� f/re nvnilnble informntiaii provi�les n relinble bnsis for rensonnbly predicling tLnt Orere nre i�o ru�identifred historic properlies iir !he APE: The defined archaeological APE for the proposed improvements to Hooper Land in Henderson County is unlikely to impact intact and significant archaeological deposits. This is due to the estent of the APE along previously disturbed areas caused by development of the industrial park in tlie soutlieru section and the esisting road and ditches in the northern section. Areas of undisturbed soils witl�in the APE are minimal. In addition, previous archaeological investigations along tlie drainage ditches and permit areas have failed to iden[ify significant cultural resources within the APE. Finally, the historic maps show no "\'o ARl'NdFOLOGySURV6'}' H6pU/AED"Jomi jor ihe Amnu4�d.lfirror Tmmpoqatiun Projeots ru� UrwlheAin ihe I015 Pr`grt�nmmrledRnemenl. 2of7 Project Tracking No.: 16-06-0047 significant former historic features witliin the project area. As long as impacts to the subsurface occur within the defined APE, no fwther archaeological wa�k is recommended for tlie proposed improvements to Hooper Lane. If work should affect subsurface areas beyond tlie defined APE, further archaeological consultation might be necessary.
