NATURAL RESOURCES TECHNICAL REPORT
ELIZABETH BRADY ROAD EXTENSION (U-3808)
ORANGE COUNTY
NORTH CAROLINA
State Project No. 8.2501901
Federal Aid No. STP- 0711 (1)
Prepared for:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to provide a bypass of Hillsborough
between NC Highway 86 (NC 86)/US 70 Business (US 70) and US 70 Bypass, in the vicinity of
Elizabeth Brady Road in Orange County, NC (Figure 1).
INTRODUCTION
The project region is located in the Piedmont physiographic province of North Carolina. Land
use within the project region is characterized by residential and urban development, forest land
(including Eno River State Park), and agriculture. The project study area is located in a
moderately developed area southeast of the City of Hillsborough and is dominated by
maintained right-of-ways, residential and commercial development, and disturbed plant
communities. Elevations range from a low of 500 feet above sea level along the Eno River to a
high of 767 feet at Occoneechee Mountain near the western boundary of the project study area.
No soils present within the project study area are classified as hydric in Orange County.
Three alternative corridors are under study (Alternates 3, 4, and 6). Each alternative is oriented
on an approximately north-south axis (Figure 2).
Alternate 3 extends from a southern terminus on Elizabeth Brady Road, approximately 900 feet
north of the intersection with NC 86, in anorth-northeastward direction across a former
automobile race track, the Eno River, Highland Loop Road, and US 70 Bypass (Figure 1). The
northern terminus of Alternate 3 occurs on St. Mary's Road (SR 1002) at a point approximately
1440 feet northeast of the intersection of St. Mary's Road and US 70 Bypass (Figure 1).
Alternate 4 utilizes a southern section shared with Alternate 6, a northern section shared with
Alternate 3, and an exclusive middle section. Alternate 4 breaks from the Alternate 6 corridor
along the Eno River floodplain slope at a point approximately midway between US 70 and US
70 Bypass (Figure 1). This alternate extends northwestward across the Eno River, through a
residential portion of Hillsborough to a junction with Alternate 3 approximately 600 feet south of
the Alternate 3 crossing of US 70 Bypass (Figure 1).
Alternate 6 extends from a southern terminus on NC 86 approximately 2000 feet south of the
intersection with US 70 and extends in a northeastward direction across US 70, and along the
southern slope of the Eno River floodplain (Figure 1). The northern terminus of Alternate 6
occurs on US 70 Bypass approximately 500 feet east of the US 70 Bypass bridge over the Eno
River (Figure 1).
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Water Resources
The project study area is located within the sub basin 03-04-01 of the Neuse River Basin. This
area is part of the USGS Hydrologic Unit 03020201 or the South Atlantic/ Gulf Region. The Eno
River (DWQ Index No. 27-2-(7)) (NCDWQ 2004) is the largest named stream within the project
1

study area. The Eno River enters the project vicinity from the west, and meanders southward
and then northward before exiting the project vicinity to the east. Cates Creek (NCDWQ Index
No. 27-2-8) (NCDWQ 2004) is the only named tributary of the Eno River within the project study
area. Cates Creek flows north from its source and crosses the western portion of the project
study area before discharging into the Eno River.
The Eno River (from Lake Ben Johnston to SR 1561) and Cates Creek have a water quality
best usage classification of C, NSW. No designated High Quality Waters (HQW), Outstanding
Resource Waters (ORW), Water Supply I (WS-I), Water Supply II (WS-II) waters, or watershed
Critical Areas (CA) occur within 1.0 mile of the project study area.
Biotic Resources
The study corridor is located in a region of developing residential and industrial land use. Five
broad classifications of plant communities are recognized: 1) pine uplands, 2) Dry-Mesic Oak-
Hickory Forest, 3) Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest (Piedmont Subtype), 4) Piedmont/Mountain
Bottomland Forest, and 5) urban/disturbed land.
JURISDICTIONAL TOPICS
Surface Waters and Wetlands
Within the project study area, 16 streams are considered to be jurisdictional surface waters
under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The project study area also contains four
jurisdictional wetland areas. The characteristics of these streams and wetlands occurring within
the project study area are summarized in Table 1.
The Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy for the Protection and Maintenance of
Riparian Buffers for the Neuse River Basin (15A NCAC 02B .0232) provides a designation for
uses that cause impacts to riparian buffers within the Neuse River Basin (15A NCAC 026
.0233). The Neuse River Basin Rule applies to 50-foot wide riparian buffers (measured
perpendicular to the stream) directly adjacent to surface waters in the Neuse River Basin.
Designated surface waters are indicated on USGS 7.5-minute topographic maps and county soil
surveys. Within the project area, 2S2, 3S1, 4S1, 5S2, 6S1, 7S1, 9S1, 10S1, 11S1, and 12S1
are subject to the Neuse River Basin Rules (Figure 2).
Table 2 and Table 3 summarize the jurisdictional area and riparian buffer impacts for each
alternative. Anticipated impacts resulting from this project are presented with respect to cut-fill
limits. Based on the USACE field verification of section 404 jurisdictional areas, impacts to any
jurisdictional stream will require mitigation.
Permits
Due to the inclusion of multiple streams and wetlands within project alternatives, permits will be
required for encroachment into these jurisdictional areas. On linear highway projects, each
wetland/stream system crossing may be considered a "single and complete" project for
2

permitting purposes. Consideration should be given to the use of Nationwide Permit (NWP) 14
(Linear Transportation Projects); which allows a filled area of no more than 0.5 acre of waters of
the United States. Since each crossing can be considered a "single and complete" project, it is
possible to have multiple NWP 14s along the proposed highway alignment, assuming that the
combined adverse effects are minimal. Another possibility is the use of USACE General Permit
(GP) 031 that authorizes jurisdictional area impacts associated with NCDOT bridge projects.
The USACE may also exert discretionary authority and require an Individual Permit if avoidance
and minimization have not been adequately addressed, if appropriate mitigation is inadequate,
or if the combined impacts of all crossings are not considered to be minimal. Section 401 of the
CWA requires each state to certify that state water quality standards will not be violated for
activities which 1) involve issuance of a federal permit or license, or 2) require discharges to
waters of the United States. The USACE cannot issue a Section 404 permit until 401 water
quality certification is issued by NCDWQ. Therefore, NCDOT must apply fora 401 water quality
certification as part of the permit process. Each "single and complete" project will require
notification to NCDWQ for general certification. NCDWQ has made available a General 401
Water Quality Certification for NWP 14 and GP 031 (GC 3404).
Federally Protected Species
Species with the federal classification of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), or officially Proposed
(P) for such listing are protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The term "Endangered Species" is defined as "any species
which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range," and the term
"Threatened Species" is defined as "any species which is likely to become an Endangered
species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range" (16
U.S.C. 1532).
Four federally protected species are listed as Endangered for Orange County as of September
6, 2005: Red-cockaded woodpecker, dwarf wedge mussel, Michaux's sumac, and smooth
coneflower.
Red-cockaded woodpecker:
Suitable breeding habitat for red-cockaded woodpecker is discounted in the project study area
due to the absence of mature pine forests. Pine forest within the project study area provides
only minimal foraging habitat. NCNHP records (reviewed June 3, 2005) document no
occurrence of red-cockaded woodpecker within 2.0 miles of the project study area. No red-
cockaded woodpeckers were observed during field investigations. Based on NCNHP records
and field observations, there will be No Effect on red-cockaded woodpecker as a result of this
project.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
Dwarf wedge mussel:
Suitable habitat for dwarf wedge mussel does exist within the project study in perennial streams
2S3, 3S1, 4S1, 5S1, 6S1, 7S1, 9S1, 10S1, and 11S1. Although NCNHP records (reviewed
June, 3 2005) document no occurrence of dwarf wedge mussel within 2.0 miles of the project
3

study area, the presence of dwarf wedge mussel cannot be discounted until a systematic survey
is conducted.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: UNRESOLVED
Michaux's sumac:
Suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac does occur within the project study area in the form of
disturbed areas along roadsides and developed areas. NCNHP records (reviewed June 3,
2005) document no occurrence of Michaux's sumac within 2.0 miles of the project study area. A
systematic plant-by-plant survey was conducted within suitable habitat by EcoScience
Corporation biologists in early May 2005. This survey determined that no individuals of
Michaux's sumac occur within the project study area; subsequently, the proposed project will
have No Effect on Michaux's sumac. However, because this species is likely to migrate if new
habitat is created due to clearing, an additional survey will be needed prior to LET.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
Smooth coneflower:
Suitable habitat for smooth coneflower does exist within the project study area in the form of
disturbed areas along roadsides. NCNHP records (reviewed June 3, 2005) document no
occurrence of smooth coneflower within 2.0 miles of the project study area. A systematic plant-
by-plant survey was conducted within suitable habitat by EcoScience Corporation biologists in
early May 2005. This survey determined that no individuals of smooth coneflower occur within
the project study area; subsequently, the proposed project will have No Effect on smooth
coneflower. However, because this species is likely to migrate if new habitat is created due to
clearing, an additional survey will be needed prior to LET.
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT
CONCLUSIONS
No designated High Quality Waters (HQW), Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), Water
Supply I (WS-I), Water Supply II (WS-II) waters, or watershed Critical Areas (CA) occur within
1.0 mile of the project study area.
Alternatives 3, 4, and 6 have impacts to surface waters. Alternate 6 has impacts to jurisdictional
wetlands. Overall, Alternate 3 contains the least amount of jurisdictional area impacts with the
shortest linear distance of streams. Alternate 3 also contains the shortest linear distance and
area of riparian buffer impacts. Section 404 permits likely to be required for this project study
area include Section 404 NWP 14 or GP 031, in addition to the corresponding Section 401
Water Quality Certifications.
No federally protected species are, projected to be impacted by this project, but a systematic
survey is necessary to fully discount the presence dwarf wedge mussel.
