TROGDON, III SEfRETARY t have enclosed a set of plans, a PCN application for NWP # 14, and a vicinity map relative to the proposed bridge replacement project on SR 1128 Silvers Welch Road, McDowell County, NC. We propose to replace the existing 16'6" timber bridge with an aluminum box cidvert (16'6"x 6'8") with low flow channeL Stream slope at the culvert site is 1.8%. Culvert installation will result in pennanent impacts to 55 linear feet of Jordan Branch with an additional 60 linear feet of floodplain bench/stabilization. Temporaiy impacts to 71 linear feet of the stream are necessary for dewatering/diversion during construction. The stream is approximately 6 feet wide with predominately sand, gravel and cobble substrate. Jordan Branchis classified as Class C. Cxisting channel morphology will be maintained upstream and downstream of the culvert. Riparian vegetation will be reestablished along disturbed areas associated with the project. Stonnwater will be diverted through grass-lined ditches or vegetated buffers prior to entering streams. This project may impact potentially suitable northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalts) (NLEB) summer roosting habitat via U�ee clearing. Following the SLOPES from NWP Regional Condition 3.13, the project is ]ocated outside of a red HUC and a survey found no evidence of bat presence/usage at the site. A total of 3 trees will be cleared for the project. No effect on the remaining McDowell County list of federally protected species (threatened or endangered) or designated critical habitat will occur.
