Subject: Notification for the replacement of Bridge #108 over Haw River on SR 2022
(Linville Road) in Guilford County. WBS # 17BP.7.R.89
Dear Mr. Bailey and Mr. Wanucha,
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is scheduled to replace Bridge #108 with a
new bridge at the same location. I have included the Attachments G& L with a project
description and a set of the project plans. A stormwater management plan is also attached. Please
review this project for compliance by your Division.
We plan to begin construction as soon as possible. If further information is required, please
contact Jerry Parker at [phone]. Your early review and consideration will be appreciated.
Sincerely,

ProjeCt Description — The project consists of replacing Bridge #108 over the Haw River on SR 2022
(Linville Road) and improving roadway approaches. The existing triple-span, 18' L X 21' W, timber deck
on timber joists, supported by timber caps timber piles with timber bulkheads is structurally deficient and
will be replaced with a new 70' L X 36' W, single span, cored slab bridge at the same location. An off-
site detour will be utilized during construction. There are wetlands located within the entire project area,
however, disturbance has been minimized where possible, limited to 0.02 acres of proposed fill, <0.01
acres of excavation and 0.29 acres of hand clearing. NCDOT proposes fill slopes at 2:1 to further
minimize the wetland impacts for the project. There are no stream impacts proposed for this project and
no deck drains proposed on this bridge. The project drainage system consists of an inlet pipe system on
the northwest side. Discharge from this pipe outlet will be attenuated on a riprap pad located outside the
riparian buffer areas and will be diffused by existing topographic conditions before flowing to the riparian

buffer. The ditch in the southwest quadrant will be retained and lined with toe protection at the fill slope,
the outlet diffuse before entering the buffer and wetland. There are no ditches in the north and southeast
quadrants and the roadway is in a�11 section, therefore the runoff will sheet flow off the pavement
through the grassed shoulder. There are utility relocations proposed with this bridge replacement and the
plans are included. Any associated impacts are within the proposed bridge replacement project footprint.
Proposed Riparian Buffer impacts include 4,414 square feet in Zone 1 and 1,447 square feet in Zone 2 to
accommodate the bridge. Of these riparian impacts, 4,107 square feet in Zone 1 and 1,108 in Zone 2 are
also wetland area. On June 28, 2016, Bob Lepsic with Arcadis surveyed for the Small whorled pogonia
within the project boundaries. There were no specimens found, however potential habitat was present;
further, there are no occurrences of this species with 1.0 mile per NCNHP. Therefore, the Biological
Conclusion for Small whorled pogonia is No Effect; Habitat Present. The Bald Eagle is protected in
every county in North Carolina under the Bald and Gold Eagle Protection Act; however, no suitable
feeding/water source is located within one mile of the project study area to support Bald Eagle habitat.
Also, Mr. Gary Jordan (USFWS) recently released the Programmatic Conference Opinion (PCO) for the
recently listed Northern Long Eared Bat (NLEB). This opinion, states in part, that "... it is the Service's
conference opinion that NCDOT activities in eastern North Carolina (Divisions 1-8), as proposed, are
not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the NLEB. "
