TROGDON, III SecaernRr I have enclosed a set of plans, a PCN application for N WP # 14, and a vicinity map relative to the proposed bridge replacement project on SR 1798 Tater Town Road, McDowell County, NC. Please replace the Wetlattd Permit Impact Summary Table included in the plan sheets with the attached Amended Impact Summary Table. We propose to replace the existing single span 20' 7" long timber bridge with an aluminum box culvert (20' 7" wide x 5' 3" high x 3T 6" Iong) with a low flow banel with sills and batlles. Current stream slope at the site is 1.66%; the proposed slope is 1.75%. Culvert installation will result in permanent impact to 38 linear feet (LF) of Katy Creek with an additional 52 LF of bank stabilization. Temporary impacts to 150 LF of the stream are necessary for dewatering/diversion during construction. The stream is approximately 4' wide and 3" deep with a predominately sand, gravel, and large cobble substrate. It is classified as Class C. Existing channel morphology will be maintained upstream and downstream of the culvert. Riparian vegetation will be reestablished along disturbed areas associated with the project. Stormwater will be diverted through grass-lined ditches or vegetated buffers prior to entering streams. This project may impact potentially suitable northern long-eared bat (Myotrs septen[rionalis) (NLEB) summer roosting habitat via tree clearing. Following the SLOPES protocol from Condition 3.13 Northern Long-Eared Bat—Endangered Species Act Compliance in the Fittal Regional Conditions of the 2017 NationWide Permits the project is located outside of a red H[JC. The bridge's underside could not be surveyed for bats; the beams were approximately 3' above the stream and were too low to get under the bridge to look for bats or evidence of presence/usage. Approximately seven trees will be cleared for the project. No effect on the MailingAddress.� Telephane: (828) 251b171 Loca�ion: NC DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION F¢x: (828) 251 b394 55 ORANGE STREET DIVISIONTHIRTEEN Cvsmme�Service: 1-877-368-0968 ASFIEVILLE,NC 28801-2340 POST OFFICE BOX 3279 Lori Beckwith Page —2 Bridge 58001 l, McDowell County April 3, 2017 remaining McDowell County list of federally protected species (threatened or endangered) wi❑ occur. As a part of the 401 Certification process, the project was processed through the DOT Programmatic Agreement for Minor Project as required by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and GS 121-12(a). No Historic Resources will be affected. These forms are attached for the Corps file. This project does not fall within a designated trout watershed as described in Condition 2.7 Trout Waters in the Final Regional Conditions of !he 2017 NatronWide Permits. Therefore, comments from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission Westem Region Coordinator are not necessary. By copy of this letter, we are asking the Area Roadside Field Operations Engineer to comment on the above project. Katy Creek is classiFed as Class C. The project will not require a trout buffer vaziance. By copy of this letter, I am forwarding one electronic copy of the application package to Kristi Lynn Carpenter, NC Division of Water Resources, Transportation Permitting Unit with cc to Kevin Barnett, NC DWR Asheville Regional Office for review and comment. Please charge the application fee of $240.00 to WBS element # 17BP.13.R.119. Please forward comments directly to the Corps with copy to Division 13 Environmental Officer.
