NCDOT Division 10 Bridge Upgrade and Replacement No. 030194
SR 1459 over Branch of Richardson Creek, Anson County, North Carolina
State Project No.: 17BP.10.R.60
STV Project No. 2516325
Dear Ms. Amschler:
On behalf of the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) — Division 10, STV
Engineers, Inc., (STV) is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification Form (See Attachment A) in
accordance with General Condition No. 31 and pursuant to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) Section 404 Nationwide Permit (NWP) #14 — Linear Transportation Projects. The
NCDOT has retained STV to assist in matters related to wetland permitting services for this
project. Materials supporting our Jurisdictional Determination regarding the approximate location
and extent of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. within the approximate 1.72-acre project study
area (PSA) including a USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet, North Carolina Division
of Water Resources (NCDWR) Stream Identification Form, a Wetland Determination Data Form,
an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (Rapanos) Form, Approximate Waters of the U.S. and
Wetlands Boundary Map, and photographs, are found in Attachment B. Accompanying figures,
permit drawings, list of property owners, and an impact summary are included in Attachment C.
A"No Archaeological Survey Required Form" and "Historic Architecture and Landscapes No
Survey Required Form" are included as Attachment D.
Based on National Agriculture Imagery Program aerial photography for Anson County and
verified by field review, the PSA consists primarily of undeveloped forest, agricultural property,
disturbed (maintained) right-of-way (R/W), and the improved paved roadway.
Rroiect Ciescri a�tianlP�rpose �nd Ne�d
STV was retained by the NCDOT to provide engineering and environmental services for the
bridge replacement project on SR 1459 (Blonnie Ross Road). The SR 1459 bridge over Branch
of Richardson Creek PSA is located north of Burnsville in the northwestern portion of Anson
County, west of NC 742; see Attachment C— Figures 1 and 2.

NCDOT Division 10 Bridge Upgrade and Replacement Program November 28, 2016
SR 1459 over Branch of Richardson Creek — PCN for NWP #14
The existing bridge consists of a 22' single-span bridge, and the proposed structure is a double
12' X 7' reinforced concrete box culvert (RCBC) with sills. The existing R/W is 60' wide. The
new double RCBC will essentially be on the same horizontal alignment as the existing bridge.
This project is part of the NCDOT's Division Managed "Bridge Upgrade and Replacement
Program." This program is intended to replace the State's aging, deficient bridges in an efficient
and cost effective manner. Many of the State's bridges were built in the 1950's and are now
deteriorating faster than funds are available to replace them. It is estimated that for every bridge
replaced, two additional ones become deficient. It is the goal of this program that all bridge
replacements meet state and federal environmental regulations while providing the maximum
benefit to the public.
The existing bridge conditions were most recently evaluated on June 6, 2011 by the NCDOT.
Subsequently, the NCDOT prepared an updated Structural Inventory and Appraisal report for
the SR 1459 Bridge over Branch of Richardson Creek (identified as Bridge No. 030194). This
Structural Inventory and Appraisal report gives the bridge a sufficiency rating of 38 out of 100,
with a status considered "structurally deficient." The NCDOT is planning to replace the existing
SR 1459 Bridge No. 030194 over Branch of Richardson Creek, while funding is available, with
an improved modern structure. During construction, the SR 1459 roadway will be closed to
traffic, and traffic will be detoured off-site.
It is anticipated that this Bridge Upgrade and Replacement Program project qualifies for a NWP
#14. NWP #14 authorizes activities required for the construction, expansion, modification, or
improvement of linear transportation projects in waters of the United States.
Back�round and Methodolos�v
The scoping meeting for this Bridge Upgrade and Replacement Program project, SR 1459 over
Branch of Richardson Creek Bridge Replacement, was held on July 9, 2013 at the NCDOT
Division 10 offices in Albemarle, NC. Representatives from the NCDOT, STV, and NCDWR
attended. Scoping documents prepared by the NCDOT were reviewed and discussed at that
time. A field review followed the scoping meeting and included a site visit to the proposed SR
1459 over Branch of Richardson Creek Bridge Replacement project site on July 9, 2013. An
agency representative from the NCDWR attended the field meeting to review the jurisdictional
waters of the U.S. at that time. It was agreed by the NCDWR that a NWP #14 would be
appropriate for this bridge replacement project.
Field surveys were conducted within the proposed SR 1459 over Branch of Richardson Creek
Bridge Replacement project study area (PSA) by STV environmental scientists on August 23,
2013. A PSA that was approximately 150 feet wide and 500 feet in length, roughly centered
along the existing bridge, and that extended upstream of SR 1459 for 100 feet and downstream
for approximately 100 feet was field reviewed. Streams and wetlands within the PSA were
assessed and plant communities and their associated wildlife were identified and recorded.
Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are defined by 33 CFR 328.3(b) and protected by Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), which is administered and enforced in North Carolina
by the USACE, Wilmington District. Potential wetland areas were defined using the USACE

Routine On-Site Determination method as described in the 1987 "Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual."' This technique uses a multi-parameter approach, which requires positive
evidence of hydrophytic vegetation, wetland hydrology, and hydric soils. In addition, the USACE
"Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains
and Piedmont Region"2 was utilized for further procedural and technical guidance. Potential
jurisdictional stream channels were classified according to the most recent North Carolina
Division of Water Resources (NCDWR)3 methodology, and USACE guidance. NCDWR Stream
Identification Forms and USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheets are included in
Attachment B. The Approved Jurisdictional Determination (Rapanos) Form and representative
photographs of the jurisdictional feature located in the PSA are also included in Attachment B.
Prior to fieldwork, the following references were reviewed to identify possible waters of the U.S.,
including wetland areas:
• U.S. Geological Service (USGS) 7.5-minute quadrangle maps [Oakboro, NC (1971)]
• U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Map (Oakboro,
NC)
� U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Conservation Service (SCS), now known as
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Soils Series Data Map for Anson County,
NC (2009)
• USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey
The USGS map and Soil Survey each depict a stream within the PSA. The USFWS NWI map
does not depict any potential jurisdictional features within the PSA. Jurisdictional stream
boundaries were delineated and flagged in the field by STV Senior Environmental Scientist
Brandon Phillips, CHMM, with blue and white striped tape at the ordinary high water mark near
the top of the stream bank. The boundaries were surveyed by the NCDOT and mapped using
ArcGIS 10.1 soffinrare.
The proposed SR 1459 over Branch of Richardson Creek Bridge Upgrade and Replacement
Program project is located entirely within the Carolina Slate Belt Province of North Carolina,
which is characterized by trellised drainage patterns. Based on topographic mapping, elevations
in the PSA range from approximately 290 feet above National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD)
to 300 feet NGVD (Attachment C— Figure 2). The highest elevation in the PSA is located on SR
1459. The lowest elevation in the PSA is located within Branch of Richardson Creek where it
exits the southeastern portion of the PSA.
According to the NRCS SCS, the project study area contains three soil types: Chewacla silt
loam, 0-2% slopes, frequently flooded (ChA); Shellbluff loam, 0-2% slopes, occasionally
flooded; and, Tarrus gravelly silt loam; 2-8% slopes (Ta6); see Attachment C— Figure 3. The

Chewacla soil series is included on the NRCS List of Hydric Soils due to inclusions of the
Wehadkee, undrained, soil type.
The proposed PSA is located in the Yadkin-Pee Dee drainage basin, Rocky River Watershed
subbasin 03-04-01-05. The major stream in the project vicinity is Branch of Richardson Creek.
Branch of Richardson Creek is a Class WS-IV water that generally flows in a southeastern
direction to Richardson Creek. Richardson Creek flows to the Rocky River which flows to the
Pee Dee River.
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
The results of the on-site field review conducted by STV environmental scientists indicate that
one jurisdictional relatively permanent water (RPW), RPW Stream A(aka, Branch of Richardson
Creek) is located within the PSA. The figure entitled Approximate Waters of the U.S. and
Wetlands Boundary Map Exhibit (Attachment B) depicts the approximate location of this
jurisdictional feature. No potential jurisdictional wetlands were identified in the PSA.
Representative photographs of the jurisdictional feature that is located within the PSA are
included in Attachment B. The PSA is located in Anson County which is not one of the 25
designated trout counties of NC.
Streams or Relatfve�y Permanenf Wafers
RPW Stream A(Branch of Richardson Creek) was concluded to be an RPW with perennial
hydrology. Branch of Richardson Creek, also concluded to be providing important aquatic
function, begins off-site to the northwest and flows southeast across the PSA (Attachment C—
Figure 4). Approximately 272 linear feet (0.09 acre) of Branch of Richardson Creek is located
within the PSA. Branch of Richardson Creek is depicted as a blue line stream on the USGS
topographic quadrangle and is depicted as a stream on the NRCS Soils Series Data Map of
Anson County (Attachment C- Figures 2 and 3, respectively). The Branch of Richardson Creek
flows to Richardson Creek. Richardson Creek flows to the Rocky River which flows to the Pee
Dee River, a traditional navigable water.
More information on the individual stream characteristics of RPW Stream A can be found on the
NCDWR Stream Identification Form and USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet
included in Attachment B.
Impacts tv Waters of the U.S.
The project involves the replacement of the existing 22' single span bridge that crosses over
Branch of Richardson Creek on SR 1459 with a double reinforced concrete box culvert (RCBC)
with sills. Permanent impacts (designated by the symbol "S' on Attachment C— Sheets 4 and
4A) to waters of the U.S. would result from the project. Approximately 44 linear feet (0.018 acre)
of Branch of Richardson Creek (RPW Stream A) would be impacted by the placement of the
double RCBC in the stream channel that is currently bridged. Approximately 36 linear feet
(0.004 acre) of Branch of Richardson Creek (RPW Stream A) would be impacted by the
placement of riprap along the stream bank within the jurisdictional limits of the stream channel.
Page 4

NCDOT Division 10 Bridge Upgrade and Replacement Program November 28, 2016
SR 1459 over Branch of Richardson Creek - PCN for NWP #14
Minor temporary impacts (designated by the symbol "TS" on Attachment C- Sheets 4 and 4A)
may occur to a maximum of 40 linear feet (approximately 0.01 acre) of Branch of Richardson
Creek (RPW Stream A) due to the demolition of the existing bridge and the removal of the
existing masonry bridge abutments that may potentially cause incidental debris to fall into the
channel (See Attachment C— Sheets 4 and 4A). Roadway approach work has been minimized
to that which is absolutely necessary within the scope of replacing the bridge and will result in
no additional impacts to waters of the U.S. No major utility relocations would be required as part
of the bridge replacement; no additional impacts would occur as a result of utility relocations.
Hydraulic calculations have been prepared based on the placement of the new double RCBC.
No increase in the upstream flood elevations is anticipated based on these calculations. Based
on the results of the HEC-RAS model for SR 1459 over Branch of Richardson Creek, the
existing bridge can be replaced with a double RCBC without causing a rise to the established
100-year flood elevations and meets the requirements of Federal Highway Administration,
Federal-Aid Policy Guide, 23 CFR 650A, "Location and Hydraulic Design of Encroachments on
Floodplains," and the Memorandum of Agreement between the NCDOT and the North Carolina
Floodplain Mapping Program.
Project activities will be done in compliance with Water Quality Certification No. 3886. All work
in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted so that the flowing stream does not come
into contact with the disturbed area. A temporary diversion ditch, bypass pumping apparatus, or
temporary smooth line pipe will be used to convey the stream around the work site during
construction activities. No excavation in flowing stream waters will occur. A special stilling basin
will be used to dewater the stream in the work area. No untreated runoff shall be discharged into
the stream. All necessary measures shall be taken to prevent direct contact between uncured or
curing concrete and waters of the state. Matting that incorporates plastic mesh and/or plastic
twine shall not be used in the stream or floodplains. No temporary fills or access roads will be
used.
Avoidance and Minimization
Due to the nature of the project, avoiding the permanent impacts and minor potential temporary
impacts to Branch of Richardson Creek while achieving project goals is not possible. There is
not a practicable alternative that would achieve the project purpose of replacing the bridge in a
cost effective manner while reducing long term maintenance issues and improving the roadway
approaches without causing permanent and potential minor debris impacts to Branch of
Richardson Creek. Best management practices (BMPs) and appropriate erosion and
sedimentation controls will be installed and maintained during construction activities to allow for
the least adverse effect on the stream channel and associated water quality.
Permanent and potential temporary impacts to Branch of Richardson Creek are unavoidable
due to the requirement to replace the bridge with the double RCBC, the riprap stabilization of a
portion of the stream bank in part for creation of a floodplain bench, and the removal of the
existing bridge and the existing masonry abutments. The majority of the riprap for streambank
stabilization will be placed in uplands outside of the stream jurisdictional limits. All work in or
adjacent to the stream waters shall be conducted so that the flowing stream does not come into
contact with the disturbed area. All necessary measures shall be taken to prevent direct contact
befinreen uncured or curing concrete and waters of the U.S. Matting that incorporates plastic
Page 5

NCDOT Division 10 Bridge Upgrade and Replacement Program November 28, 2016
SR 1459 over Branch of Richardson Creek - PCN for NWP #14
mesh and/or plastic twine shall not be used in the streams or floodplains. No temporary fills or
access roads will be used. Efforts to minimize impacts to this stream included:
• The crossing of Branch of Richardson Creek will essentially remain in the same location
within the existing SR 1459 R/W in order to reduce the need for additional roadway fill
and to avoid additional impacts to Branch of Richardson Creek.
• Fill slopes have been designed to be 1.5:1 as opposed to the standard 4:1.
• The construction of the culvert from either of the stream embankments will eliminate the
need for heavy equipment to enter jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and will allow
demolition of the existing structure and construction of the new bridge with minimal
temporary impacts to the stream channel. The road will be closed during construction,
and an off-site detour will be utilized, to allow work to be perFormed from the existing
roadway approaches.
Activities on the project site involving impacts to waters of the U.S. will be required to follow the
General Conditions of the USACE Nationwide Permits (Federal Register Vol. 77, No. 34;
updated February 21, 2012), applicable USACE Wilmington District Regional Conditions (March
29, 2012), and applicable NCDWR consistency conditions (March 19, 2012).
Comp�nsatorv Miti�ation
As described above, efforts have been made to avoid and minimize impacts to waters of the
U.S. to the maximum extent practicable. The replacement of the existing bridge with a double
RCBC with sills and a floodplain bench will cause permanent impacts to 80 linear feet (0.02
acre) of RPW Stream A and may cause potential temporary impacts to 40 linear feet
(approximately 0.01 acre) of RPW Stream A(Branch of Richardson Creek); see Attachment C—
Sheets 4 and 4A. To compensate for permanent stream impacts, the North Carolina Division of
Mitigation Services will be used.
Stormwater Mana�ement Plan
A bridge replacement project going through the Bridge Upgrade and Replacement Program
process is considered to be a`re-development' procedure and redevelopment procedures do
not require a state stormwater permit. Consequently, Best Management Practices (BMPs) and
runoff controls will be implemented during construction to reduce the stormwater impacts to the
receiving stream due to erosion and unfiltered runoff. Sediment and erosion control will adhere
to "Design in Sensitive Watershed" standards. Temporary construction runoff will be controlled
by using silt fence, silt fence wattle breaks, floating turbidity curtain, temporary rock silt checks,
special stilling basins, rock inlet sediment traps, and temporary matting and grassing.
The proposed double RCBC will be buried approximately 1' below the stream bed and will allow
flow to pass within the natural channel in the low flow barrel. The high flow barrel will be used
when the 2' sill is overtopped during high low events. The proposed roadway will be in normal
crown and will drain through grass shoulders, and roadside special ditches. The proposed
ditches will be stabilized with temporary rock silt checks with polyacrylamide applied, as well as
temporary turF reinforcement matting. Fabric silt fence will be used for small runoff areas where
Page 6

NCDOT Division 10 Bridge Upgrade and Replacement Program November 28, 2016
SR 1459 over Branch of Richardson Creek - PCN for NWP #14
the flow is in sheet form. Wattle breaks along the proposed temporary silt fence will be used for
small concentrated flows. Floating turbidity curtain will be installed along the stream banks and
will be removed as work progresses. All dewatering activities will be through a permeable fabric
bag.
Cultural Resources
In a document dated September 15, 2016, the NCDOT Archaeologist made a determination of
"No Survey Required" for the Area of Potential Effects (APE) regarding archaeology
(Attachment D— No Archaeological Survey Required Form). In a document dated June 6, 2016,
the NCDOT Architectural Historian made a determination of "Historic Architecture and
Landscapes — No Survey Required" for the Area of Potential Effects (APE) regarding historic
architecture/landscapes (Attachment D— Historic Architecture and Landscapes No Survey
Required Form). '
Protected Saecies
STV conducted a protected species habitat assessment and review of the PSA on August 23,
2013. Prior to the field reviews, STV reviewed the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and
North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) databases, which provided existing data
concerning the potential occurrence of federally and state protected (threatened or endangered)
species in Anson County; the databases were rechecked in September 2016. These databases
indicate that there are three federal and state endangered species that may occur in Anson
County. These protected species and their physical descriptions and habitat requirements are
described below.
Shartnose siure e� on {Acipenser brevirostrum) — FederallState Endanqered
The shortnose sturgeon is an anadromous fish species which spends most of the year in
brackish or salt water and moves into fresh water only to spawn. The shortnose sturgeon is
dark-colored on its dorsal side and light on the ventral side. This species of sturgeon has a wide
mouth pointed downward beneath a short snout and can grow up to three feet long. The sides
of its body contain five rows of sharp, pointed plates. The shortnose sturgeon inhabits the lower
portions of large rivers and coastal rivers along the Atlantic Coast.
Potential habitat does not exist within the reach of perennial section of RPW Stream A, aka,
Branch of Richardson Creek, located within the project study area due to the shallow conditions
unlike the large river habitat the shortnose sturgeon prefers. There are no records of shortnose
sturgeon being located in the Oakboro, NC USGS quadrangle. Based on the field review, the
available databases, and the limited area of proposed stream disturbance, it is determined that
this project will have `no effect' on shortnose sturgeon.
Biolv�ical Conclusion: Na Eff�ct
Schweinifz's sunflower fNe�ianthus schv�rernrfzrrl - FederallState Endangered
Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial herbaceous plant limited to the Piedmont counties of North
and South Carolina. The plant grows from one to two meters tall from a cluster of tuberous
roots. The sunflower consists of a flower with a yellow disk and ray flowers formed on small
heads. The disc is less than 1.5 centimeter (cm) across and the petals are two to three cm long.
Page 7

NCDOT Division 10 Bridge Upgrade and Replacement Program November 28, 2016
SR 1459 over Branch of Richardson Creek - PCN for NWP #14
The lanceolate leaves are opposite on the lower stem and alternate near the flowers. The
typical habitat for this plant includes roadsides, old pastures, transmission line rights-of-way
(R/Ws), open areas, and edges of upland woods. Periodically maintained R/Ws are typically
considered good potential habitat for the Schweinitz's sunflower. Major characteristics of soils
associated with suitable Schweinitz's sunflower habitat include thin soils, soils on upland
interstream flats or gentle slopes, those which are clayey in texture (and often with substantial
rock fragments), those which have a high shrink-swell capacity, and those which vary over the
course of the year from very wet to very dry. Flowering occurs from August to the first frost of
the year.
No individuals of Schweinitz's sunflower were observed within the project study area and the
area was reviewed within the flowering season. There are no records of Schweinitz's sunflower
being located in the Oakboro, NC USGS quadrangles. The NC Natural Heritage Program
(NCNHP) website was reviewed to determine the locations of the nearest populations of
Schweinitz's sunflower. The NCNHP determined that no populations of Schweinitz's sunflower
were present within several miles of the project study area. The project study area has some of
the proper habitat requirements preferred by this species, but there are no known populations
within the proximity of the project study area, so it is unlikely that Schweinitz's sunflower would
be found within the project study area. Based on the field review during the flowering season,
the available databases, and the limited area of proposed roadside disturbance, it is determined
that this project will have `no effect' on Schweinitz's sunflower.
Biologica! Cor�clusion: No Effect
Red-cockaded woodpecker �Picoides boreali� — Federal/State Endangered
Adult red-cockaded woodpeckers are approximately 18 to 20 cm long with a wingspan of 35 to
38 cm. Adults have a black cap, throat, and stripe on the side of the neck and white cheeks and
underparts. The back is barred with black and white horizontal stripes. Adult males have a small
red spot on each side of the black cap. The bird is native to southern pine forests and typically
nests within open pine stands with trees 80 years or older. Roosting cavities are excavated
within live pines, which are often infected with a fungus which causes what is known as red-
heart disease. Foraging may occur in pine and/or mixed pine/hardwood stands 30 years or older
with trees 10" or larger in diameter at breast height (dbh).
No individuals of red-cockaded woodpecker were observed within the project study area. A
limited number of suitable foraging trees and no nesting trees are present within the PSA. The
NCNHP website was reviewed to determine the locations of the nearest populations of red-
cockaded woodpecker. The NCNHP determined that only historical occurrences of red-
cockaded woodpecker were present within Anson County. There are no records of red-
cockaded woodpecker being located in the Oakboro, NC USGS quadrangle. Based on the field
review, the available databases, the limited amount of mature trees suitable for foraging, and
the limited area of proposed disturbance to forested areas, it is determined that this project will
have `no effect' on red-cockaded woodpecker.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. 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 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character
of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture 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.

The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below.

B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNV1� AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF AN17:
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a signiticant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its ad jacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody° is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, fpr
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.0 below.

Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed: .
C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a signiticant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjaceot
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNV1�. Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of signiticant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identitied in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the h-ibutary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D: .
2. Signiticant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the Mbutary in combination with all of its
adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D: .
3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to
Section III.D: .

B. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS TO SUPPORT JD: The limits of jurisdictional waters of the U.S., Stream A(Branch of Richardson
Creek) were delineated by STV and surveyed by the NCDOT (Attachment B- Approximate Waters of the U.S. and Wetlands Boundary Map
E�chibit). Stream A was determined to be a relatively permanent water (RPW) with perennial flow based on an OHWM, well-defined bed
and banks, ftsh and some sediment deposition and is also depicted on the USGS and Soils Survey as a stream (blue line) feature. RPW
Stream A(Branch of Richardson Creek) flows to Richardson Creek (RPW) which flows to the Rocky River (RPW), which flows to the Pee
Dee River (TNW).

PROJECT INFORMATION
Project No: STR. #030194 County: Anson
WBS No: 17BP.10.R.60 Document: PCE
F.A. No: na Funding: � State ❑ Federal
Federal Permit Required? � Yes ❑ No Permit Type: NWP 14
Project Description: NCDOT Division 10 intends to replace Bridge No. 194 on SR 1459, Blonnie Roass
Road, over an unnamed tributary of Richardson Creek near the Union County line. The proposed
replacement structure will be a reinforced concrete box culvert in the same location as the original
structure. The length of the proposed project is listed at 260 feet (nearly 79.25 meters). Right-of-way
(ROW) at the crossing is currently listed at 50 feet, but the proposed project may require ROW to expand
out to 85 feet (approximately 25.9 meters). For the purposes of the archaeological review, the area of
potential effects (APE) will encompass an area of nearly .51 acre (almost .21 hectare).
SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW
Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions:
A review of the site maps and files archived at the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology was
conducted on June 6, 2016, NCDOT archaeologist, Brian Overton. No previously identified
archaeological sites are recorded within the proposed APE, nor are any archaeological sites recorded
within .5 mile of the proposed APE. An examination of the data presented on the North Carolina State
Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS Service (http:llgis.ncdcr.govlhpoweb/i reveals that recorded
historic properties are located within the same radius, including a no-longer-extant historic house
(AN0175) and the William Parker House (AN0176). One cemetery has been recorded approximately .3-
mile (nearly .5 kilometer) south-southeast of the bridge. It should be noted, however, that no historic
properties are recorded in the vicinity of the APE.
An examination of soils in Anson County presented on the National Resources Conservation Service Web
Soil Survey (http://websoilsurvey.nres.usda.�pp/WebSoilSurvey.as�x) indicates that the following
soil types fall within the delineated APE: Shellbluff loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, occasionally flooded
(ShA); and Tarrus gravelly silt loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes (TaB).
No further archaeological investigations are required for the project within the area established as the
current APE. Should the project change to include a larger footprint than covered by the current APE,
further consultation will be necessary. In the unlikely event that azchaeological remains are encountered
during the bridge replacement, work should cease in that area and the NCDOT Archaeology Group
should be notified immediately.

Projecl Tracking No.:
16-06-0001
Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting
that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE:
The bridge replacement project, as it is currently proposed, represents a fairly small footprint of earth-
disturbing activity with very little suggested outside areas that have previously been significantly
disturbed. The likelihood that archaeological deposits that might represent an important contribution to
our understanding of history or prehistory in the region could be impacted by this project appears to be
pretty remote.

SUMMARY OF HISTORIC ARCHICTECTURE AND LANDSCAPES REVIEW
Descri tiorr o review activities results anrt conc[usions:
Review of HPO quad maps, HPO GIS information, historic designations roster, and indexes was
undertaken on June 6, 2016. Based on this review, there are no existing NR, SL, LD, DE, or SS
properties in the Area of Potential Effects, which is 260' from each end of the bridge and 40'
from the centerline each way. There are no structures within the APE based on aerial and street
view imagery. Modern chicken houses sit to the northeast of the APE. There ace no National
Register listed or eligible properties and no survey is required. If design plans change, additional
review will be re uired.
