this section of Beech Creek is 8-20 and the Hydrological Cataloguing Unit is 06010103 The
DWQ classifies Beech Creek as "C Tr" There are no High Quality Waters (HQW), Water
Supplies (WS-1 or WSII), Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW) or 303(d) streams within one
mile of the project study area No wetlands will be impacted by this project
Permanent Impacts
There will be no permanent impacts as a result of this project
Temporary Impacts
There will be temporary impacts to Beech Creek from a temporary work pad This work pad
will be at the base of Bent 2, and will catch drilling spoils from drilled pier construction There
will also be temporary impacts from a temporary work bridge on the west side of the existing
bridge Temporary surface water impacts total < 0 01 acre
Utility Impacts
There will be no jurisdictional impacts associated with utilities for this project
Bridge Demolition
Bridge No 320 consists of a three-span structure composed of timber and steel The
superstructure consists of a timber floor on a steel girder floor system The substructure consists
of timber caps and piles There is no anticipated temporary fill resulting from bridge demolition
All guidelines for bridge demolition and removal will be followed in addition to Best
Management Practices (BMPs) for the Protection of Surface Waters and BMPs for Bridge
Demolition and Removal
FEDERALLY PROTECTED SPECIES
Plants and animals with federal classifications of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Proposed
Endangered (PE) and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected under provisions of Section 7 and
Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended As of January 31, 2008, the
USFWS lists eight federally protected species for Watauga County (Table 1)

The biological conclusion for seven of these species is "No Effect" due to lack of habitat There
is potential foraging habitat for the remaining species, the Virginia big-eared bat The biological
conclusion for the Virginia big-eared bat is "May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect" The
USFWS concurred with this biological conclusion in a letter dated September 25, 2008
MITIGATION
Avoidance and Minimization
Avoidance examines all appropriate and practicable possibilities of averting impacts to "Waters
of the United States " The NCDOT is committed to incorporating all reasonable and practicable
design features to avoid and minimize jurisdictional stages, minimization measures were
incorporated as part of the project design
• The new bridge will be longer than the existing bridge, spanning Beech Creek
• A temporary work bridge will be used, minimizing m-stream activities
• There is a moratorium on in-stream activities from October 15 to April 15 to protect the egg
and fry stages of trout (The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC)
changed the moratorium start date from November 1St to October 15th since the CE was
completed)
• The project will adhere to Design Standards for Sensitive Watersheds
• Water will not be directly discharged into the Beech Creek via deck drains
In addition, Best Management Practices will be followed as outlined in "NCDOT's Best
Management Practices for Construction and Maintenance Activities"
Compensatory Mitigation
NCDOT proposes no mitigation for this project as all impacts are temporary and not considered
a "loss of waters of the U S "
PROJECT SCHEDULE
The project schedule calls for a February 17, 2009 Let date and a review date of December 30,
2008

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H 0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to reducing the size of the project, establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams, and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed
If mitigation is required foi this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http //h2o enr state nc us/ncwetlands/strmgide html
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e g , deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed
No mitigation is proposed for this project because the <0 01 acre (20 linear feet) of
impacts are temporary and will not cause an adverse effect or significant loss of waters of the
United States

Dear Dr Thorpe
Subject Endangered Species Concurrence, Proposed Replacement of Bridge No 320 over Beech
Creek on SR 1153 (Wiley Harmon Road) in Watauga County, North Carolina, Federal
Project No BRZ-1153(6), WBS Element No 33653 1 1, T I P No B-4316
As requested by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), we have reviewed the
design plans and accompanying report describing the habitat analysis and survey that was conducted
for the federally endangered Virginia big-eared bat (Corynorhinus townsendti virginianus) with
regard to the subject proposed bridge replacement Our comments are provided in accordance with
the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U S C 4332(2)(c)), the Fish and Wildlife Coordination
Act, as amended (16 U S C 661-667e), section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (16 U S C 1531-1543) (Act), and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U S C 703, et seq )
(MBTA)
The NCDOT proposes to construct a spanning structure that will replace Bridge No 320 (a 51-foot,
three-span bridge) with a new bridge (a 125-foot, three-span bridge) over Beech Creek The bridge
will be replaced on a realignment located upstream (east) of the existing bridge, and traffic will be
maintained on the existing bridge during construction
Federally Listed Species - The listed species concurrence request we received was for the
NCDOT's determination that the subject project is not likely to adversely affect the Virginia
big-eared bat It was determined that the project would have no effect on the Carolina northern
flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus coloratus), spruce-fir moss spider (Microhexura montivaga),
Blue Ridge goldenrod (Solidago spithamaea), Heller's blazing star (Liatris helleri), Roan Mountain
bluet (Hedyotis purpurea var montana), or spreading avens (Geum radiatum), all of which occur in
Watauga County
A habitat assessment was conducted on June 28, 2006 No evidence of bats roosting on the bridge
was found, and there are no caves or mines within the project area A rock outcrop in the vicinity
was examined and did not appear to be suitable for bat roosting Beech Creek is designated as a trout
water by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission The NCDOT has agreed to sediment- and erosion-control measures that adhere to
Design Standards for Sensitive Watersheds The NCDOT should minimize impacts to the riparian
area by removing as little vegetation as possible to construct the bridge If these measures are
implemented, we concur with the NCDOT's determination that the bridge construction and
demolition may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect, the Virginia big-eared bat Therefore, we
believe the requirements under section 7(c) of the Act are fulfilled However, obligations under
section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified
action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this
action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new
species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action
Migratory Birds - The MBTA (16 U S C 703-712) prohibits the taking, killing, possession,
transportation, and importation of migratory birds (including the bald eagle), their eggs, parts, and
nests, except when specifically authorized by the Department of the Interior To avoid impacts to
migratory birds, we recommend conducting a visual inspection of the bridge and any other migratory
bird nesting habitat within the project area during the migratory bird nesting season of March through
September If migratory birds are discovered nesting in the project impact area, including on the
existing bridge, the NCDOT should avoid impacting the nests during the migratory bird nesting
season (March through September) If birds are discovered nesting on the bridge during years prior
to the proposed construction date, the NCDOT, in consultation with us, should develop measures to
discourage birds from establishing nests on the bridge by means that will not result in the take of the
birds or eggs, or the NCDOT should avoid construction and demolition activities during the nesting
period

i Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below
2 For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e g, typically 3 months)
3 Supporting documentation is presented in Section III F
SECTION III CWA ANALYSIS
A TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
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
1 TNW
Identify TNW
Summarize rationale supporting determination
2 Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent"
B CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY)
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, slip 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 significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law
If the waterbody4 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, for
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 C below

6A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e g , where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where
the OHWM has been removed by development or agncultuml practices) Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow
regime (e g , flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

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 significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
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 TNW) Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplam is not solely determinative of significant nexus
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook Factors to consider include, for example
• Does the tributary, 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 INTRODUCTION
The replacement of Bridge No 320 is included in the 2004-2010 North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) as a Federal Aid Bridge
j Replacement The location is shown in Figure 1 No substantial environmental impacts are
anticipated The project is classified as a Federal "Categoncal Exclusion" (CF)
I. PURPOSE AND NEED STATEMENT

The existing narrow bridge, built in 1967, is structurally deficient with a posted load limit of 12 tons
for single vehicles and 18 tons for truck-tractor-semi-traders (TTST) According to the Bridge
Maintenance Unit, at the time the bridge was last inspected on July 1, 2003 the bridge sufficiency
rating was 29 9 out of a possible 100 The replacement of this inadequate structure will result in
safer and more efficient traffic operations The proposed replacement will allow the restrictive
posted load limits for trucks to be removed from the bndge
It. EXISTING CONDITIONS
SR 1 153 (Wiley Harmon Road) is a two-lane unpaved highway and narrows to a single lane over
Bridge No 320 SR 1153 has a functional classification as a `local roadway" and ends about 1400
feEt (427 meters) south of the bridge The speed limit along SR 1 153 is not posted, however, the
alignment dictates low operating speeds The project vicinity is rural with sparsely scattered
residents
The superstructure consists of a timber floor on a steel girder floor system The substructure consists
of timber caps and piles It is 51 feet (15 5 meters) long and has a clear roadway width of 11 2 feet
(3 4 meters) measured inside parapet to inside parapet This width provides for one travel lane The
bridge crosses Beech Creek at an approximate 90-degree angle Photographs of the existing bridge
are included on Figures 2A and 2B
The horizontal alignment of SR 1153 consists of a tangent on the bridge sandwiched between 7-9
t degree curves on both ends of the bridge SR 1153, reflecting the steep mountainous topography
south of the bridge, has existing grades of 11 to 15 per cent. The approach roadway is unpaved and
is about 16 feet (4 9 meters) wide The width of the grass shoulders is approximately 3 feet (0 9
meter) The Division Right of Way Agent advised, by virtue of recorded and signed agreements, that
1 the right of way width on SR 1153 is 60 feet (18 3 meters), symmetrical about the centerline of the
existing roadway
a
l The Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) volume for the year 2002 is estimated to be 100 vehicles
per day (VPD) and is projected to increase to 300 VPD in the year 2025 The percent of truck-
,
tractor-semi-trailer (TTST) and dual tired trucks (DTT) are estimated to be I percent and 2 percent,
{ respectively
There v, ere no accidents recorded occurring in t11e vicinity of the bridge in the three-year period from
April 4 1998 tluu March 3, 2001

e
i
The Watauga County School Transportation Director has been contacted regarding the proposed
bridge replacement Information received from the Director stated that no school buses use the
bridge (letter attached in the Appendix A)
The Watauga County EMS Coordinator has been contacted and has advised that traffic must be
maintained on-site during construction
There are no utilities attached to the bridge An overhead power line crosses over the southern end
of the bridge and may be affected by the proposed project
The land use in the project vicinity is rural with scattered residences
i
Research of public records and an on-site inspection did not indicate any evidence of the presence of
hazardous/toxic material in the immediate project area
III. ALTERNATIVES
A. Project Description
3 Bridge No 320 will be replaced with a new structure at or near the existing bridge (see
Figure 1) The bridge typical section is included on Figure 4
The duration of construction is estimated to be one year
The roadway approaches to the bridge will consist of an 18-foot (5 5-meter) pavement and 4-
foot (1 2-meter) wide shoulders (grassed)
3
i
The typical section for the roadway portion of the project is included on Figure 4
i
The clear roadway width of the proposed bridge is 22 feet (6 7 meters) This minimum width
is in conformance with the NCDOT's bridge policy for mountainous terrain with 300 VPD
traffic volumes
I Traffic will be maintained on-site during construction
Right of way acquisition is scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2006 and construction in fiscal
year 2007
B. Build Alternatives
Three alternatives were studied for B-4316 A comparison of the cost of each of the three
alternatives is provided in Item V, Cost Estimate (see Table 1) The alternatives are
Alternative 1 would replace Bridge No 320 with a new bridge approximately 90 feet
(27 4 meters) long on the existing alignment of SR 1153 and would construct a
temporary one-lane detour structure, consisting of four 84-inch (213-cm) corrugated
steel pipes (CSP), located downstream (west side) of the existing bridge Alternative
1 is shown on Figure 3A
Alternative 2 would replace Bridge No 320 with anew bridge approximately 90 feet
(27 4 meters long) on the existing alignment of SR 1153 and would construct a
temporary one-lane detour structure, consisting of four 84-inch CSP located upstream
(east side) of the existing bridge Alternative 2 is shown on Figure 3B
4
Alternative 3 (Preferred Alternative) would construct a permanent bridge
approximately 110 feet (33 5 meters) long on a re-alignment of SR 1153 located
7 upstream (east side) of the existing bridge Traffic would be maintained on the
existing bridge during construction The existing bridge would be removed upon
completion of the permanent bridge Alternative 3 is shown on Figure 3C
The NCDOT Division 11 Engineer has reviewed the proposed project and concurs with the
recommended replacement
Fhe local officials have been made aware of the project and concur with the recommended
replacement
C. Alternatives Eliminated from Further Study
The alternative of closing SR 1153 and replacing the bridge at the existing location was
eliminated from further study for the following reasons SR 1153 is a dead end road so an
off site detour route is not available SR 1153 ends approximately 1400 feet (427 meters)
south of the bndge and no public or private outlet is available for the residences located on
this portion of SR 1153
I
Rehabilitation of the existing single lane and deteriorating bridge is neither practical nor
j economically feasible It would require significant repairs to the substructure and
superstructure because of their overall poor condition
i
The "do-nothing" alternative is not feasible This will require the closing of the road as the
existing bridge detenorates to a point where it is unsafe at any posted weight limits
_J
5
D Preferred Alternative
The preferred alternative is Alternative 3 and is shown on Figure 3C Construction limits
extend from approximately 220 feet (67 1 meters) north to 320 feet (97 5 meters) south of the
existing bridge The bridge is anticipated to have three spans, (1 at 35 feet (10 6 meters), 1 at
40 feet (12 2 meters) and 1 at 35 feet (10 6 meters) for a total of 110 feet (33 5 meters) The
center span would be situated to span the creek from bank to bank The clear roadway width
of the bridge is 22 feet (6 7 meters) The 22-foot width provides a minimum 18-foot (5 5-
meter) travel-way and 2-foot (0 6-meter) offsets to the bridge rails
The proposed design speed is 30 miles per hour (45 kilometers per hour)
Alternative 3 was selected because it cost-effectively satisfies the project objective and
causes the minimum effects to the natural environment Alternative 3 avoids the impacts to
Beech Creek that the temporary detour pipes associated with Alternative 1 and Alternative 2
1 would cause Also it is more cost effective to avoid constructing and removing a temporary
detour
IV. DESIGN EXCEPTIONS ANTICIPATED
Design exceptions to the statutory 55 mph speed limit are anticipated for a 30 mph (45 kilometer per
1 hour) design speed This design speed is commensurate with the overall mountainous terrain
alignment of Wiley Harmon Road and its local traffic usage Wiley Harmon Road dead ends
approximately 1400 feet (427 meters) south of the bndge and is stop sign controlled approximately
200 feet (61 meters) north of the bridge Providing a higher design speed is not practical,
l economically feasible or desirable on this section of the roadway

VI. NATURAL RESOURCES
A. General
A study was performed to jnventor} and describe the various natural resources likely to be
impacted by the proposed action Assessments of the nature and severity of probable impacts
to these natural resources are provided, along with recommendations for measures that will
minimize resource impacts This study is included in the natural system technical report on
the subject bridge replacement prepared by Stantec Consulting Services, Inc , dated March
12, 2002
Areas of particular concern are identified that may have affected the selection of a preferred
alignment or may necessitate changes in design criteria Such environmental concerns have
1 been addressed during the preliminary planning stages of the proposed project in order to
maintain environmental quality in the most efficient and effective manner The analyses
contained in this document are relevant only in the content of the existing preliminary project
boundaries It may become necessary to conduct additional field investigations should
design parameters and/or criteria change
1. Methodology
Prior to the field investigation published resource information pertaining to the
project study area was gathered and reviewed The information sources used to
prepare this report include
i
j • U S Geological Survey (USGS) quadrangle map (Elk Park),
• Soil Survey of Watauga County, North Carolina (Draft),
• United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands
Inventory Map,
• USFWS list of protected species (February 25, 2003),

• North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database of rare species
and unique habitats (May 2003),
• NCDOT aerial photography of the project study area (1 100), and
• North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) water resource data
Investigation into wetland occurrence in the project study area was conducted using
methods outlined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987)
I
A general field survey was conducted within the project study area on August 28,
2001 Water resources were identified and their physical characteristics were
recorded Terrestrial community classifications generally follow Schafale and
Weakley (1990) where possible, and plant taxonomy follows Radford, et at (1968)
Vegetative communities were mapped utilizing aerial photography of the project site
Wildlife was identified using a variety of observation techniques including active
searching, visual observations with binoculars, and identifying characteristic signs of
wildlife (sounds, tracks, scat, and burrows) Cursory surveys for aquatic organisms,
including tactile searches for benthic macro invertebrates, were performed as well
B. Physical Resources

2. Water Resources
The proposed project falls within the Watauga River Basin, with a subbasin
I designation of 04-02-01 Waters within the project study area include Beech Creek
and two unnamed tributaries to Beech Creek
a. Water Resource Characteristics
Beech Creek flows west through the proposed project study area with a width
of approximately 27 feet (8 2 meters) The flow was moderate on the day of
the field investigation The substrate consisted of bedrock, boulders, and
cobbles, with some fine sand The stream is comprised of step/pool
sequences The water was clear on the day of the site visit The
10
i
depth of the water ranged from a few inches in the raffles to over two feet (0 6
meters) in the pools
A small unnamed tributary merges with Beech Creek on the northeast side of
Bridge No 320 The tributary is approximately two feet (0 6 meters) wide
and a few inches deep The substrate consists of gravel and sand
A second tributary merges with Beech Creek southwest of the bridge This
tributary is approximately five feet (1 5 meters) wide and two to six inches
(five to 15 0 centimeters) deep The substrate consisted of gravel, cobbles,
and sand
Streams have been assigned a best usage classification by the North Carolina
j Division of Water Quality (DWQ) [formerly the Division of Environmental
Management (DEM)], which reflects water quality conditions and potential
j resource usage Within the project study area, the classification for Beech

Watauga River is classified as HQW
i
Point sources, such as wastewater discharges, located throughout North
Carolina are permitted through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
?? System (NPDES) program No NPDES permits are located in or directly
upstream from the project study area
Non-point source refers to runoff that enters surface waters through
stormwater flow or no defined point of discharge Stormwater runoff from
SR 1153 and the surrounding residential properties may reach Beech Creek
and cause water quality degradation through the addition of oil or gas
residuals, particulate rubber, or other sources of contamination
fhe Basmv ide Monitoring Program, managed by the DWQ, is part of an
ongoing ambient water quality-monitoring program that addresses long-term
trends in water quality The program monitors ambient water quality by
J sampling at fixed sites for selected benthic macroinvertebrates, which are
sensitive to water quality conditions Samples are evaluated on the number
of taxa present of intolerant groups [Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Tnchoptera
(EPT)) and a taxa nchness value (EPT S) is calculated A biotic index value
is also calculated for the sample that summarizes tolerance data for all species
in each collection The two rankings are given equal weight in final site
classification The biotic index and taxa richness values primarily reflect the
effects of chemical pollution and are a poor measure of the effects of such
J physical pollutants as sediment Stream and river reaches are assigned a final
bioclassification of either Excellent, Good, Good/Fair, Fair, or Poor
According to the information obtained from the Watauga River Basmwide
Water Quality Management Plan (NCDENR, 1997), the DWQ does not have
a sampling station on Beech Creek at the project study area, the closest
station is located approximately 2,300 feet (701 meters) upstream of the
12
i
project site at SR 1 126 The station was last sampled in September 1987 and
received a rating of Good
b. Anticipated Impacts to Water Resources
Impacts to water resources in the project study area are likely to result from
activities associated with project construction, such as clearing and grubbing
on streambanks, riparian canopy removal, instream construction, fertilizers
and pesticides used in revegetation, and pavement construction The
following impacts to surface water resources are likely to result from the
above-mentioned construction activities
r?
• Increased sedimentation and siltation downstream of the crossing and
increased erosion in the project study area,
J • Changes in light incidence and water clarity due to increased
sedimentation and vegetation removal,
• Alteration of water levels and flows due to interruptions and/or
additions to surface and ground water flow from construction,
• Changes in and destabilization of water temperature due to vegetation
! removal.
Changes in dissolved oxygen (DO) le-, els,
• Increased nutrient loading during construction via runoff from
exposed areas.
• Increased concentrations of toxic compounds in roadway runoff,
• Increased potential for release of toxic compounds such as fuel and
oil from construction equipment and other vehicles, and
• Alteration of stream discharge due to silt loading and changes in
surface and groundwater drainage patterns
13
In order to minimize potential impacts to water resources in tine project study
area, NCDOT's Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the Protection of
Surface Waters will be strictly enforced during the construction phase of the
project Impacts will be further reduced by limiting instream activities and
revegetatnng stream banks immediately following the completion of grading

C. Biotic Resources
Living systems described in the following sections include communities of associated plants
J and animals These descriptions refer to the dominant flora and fauna in each community
and the relationship of these biotic components Classification of plant communities is based
on a s} stem used by the NCNHP (Schafale and Weaklev, 1990) If a community is modified
or other-,),ise disturbed such that it does not fit into an NCNHP classification, it is given a
name that best describes current characteristics Scientific nomenclature and common names
i
(when applicable) are used for the plant and animal species described Subsequent references
to the same species include the common name only
1. Terrestrial Communities
The predominant terrestrial communities found in the project study area are
maintained/disturbed and rich cove forest Dominant faunal components associated
with these terrestrial areas are discussed in each community description Many
species are adapted to the entire range of habitats found within the project study area
but may not be mentioned separately in each community description
14
1 a. Maintained/Disturbed Community
I
The maintained/disturbed community includes the road shoulders and
residential properties within the project study area Many plant species are
adapted to these disturbed and regularly maintained areas The dominant
species within the project study area include fescue (Festuca sp ), ryegrass
(Lolzum sp ), white clover (Tt folzum t epens), red clover (Trzfolzum pratense),

and plantain (Plantago sp )
The animal species present in these disturbed habitats are opportunistic and
capable of sur-,ivtng on a variety of resources ranging from vegetation
(flowers, leaves, fruits, and seeds) to both living and dead faunal components
An American Robin (Turdus nugratorzus) was observed during the site visit
Other species such as Eastern chipmunk (Tamtas strzatus), Eastern mole
(.Scalopus aquatzcus), House Sparrow (Pas ser domestic us), Eastern Bluebird
(Sialza szalzs), American Crow (Corizis brachyrlynchos), American
J Goldfinch (Carduelzs trzstzv), Northern Mockingbird (Mzmuv polyglottos),
and garter snake (Thamnophzs vzrtalts) are often attracted to these disturbed
habitats
b. Rich Cove Forest Community
J This community is found along both sides of Beech Creek adjacent to the
maintained/disturbed community The canopy layer includes tulip poplar
J (Lu zodendron tulzpfera), red oak (Quercus rubra), cucumbertree (Magnolia
aczztnznata), sugar maple (Ater sacchat unz), yellow buckeye (Aesculus

3. Summary of Anticipated Impacts to Biotic Communities
Biotic community impacts resulting from project construction are addressed
separately as terrestrial impacts and aquatic impacts Impacts to terrestrial
communities particularly in locations exhibiting slopes can result in the aquatic
community receiving heavy sediment loads as a consequence of erosion
Construction impacts may not be restricted to the communities in which the
construction activity occurs
I
a. Terrestrial Communities
1
The rich cove forest and the maintained/disturbed communities serve as
nesting, foraging, and shelter habitat for fauna Removal of plants and other
construction related acttx ities would result in the displacement and mortality
of faunal species in residence Individual mortalities are likely to occur to
terrestrial animals from construction machinery used during clearing
activities
Protect construction will result in clearing and degradation of portions of
these communities Often, project construction does not require the use of
the entire right-of-way, therefore, actual impacts may be considerably less

17
b. Aquatic Communities
Impacts to the aquatic community of Beech Creek will result from the
replacement of Bridge No 320 Impacts are likely to result from the physical
disturbance of aquatic habitat Activities such as the removal of trees, as well
as the construction of the bridge and approach work will likely result in an
increase in sediment loads and water temperatures and a decrease in dissolved
oxygen Construction activities can also increase the possibility of toxins,
such as engine fluids and particulate rubber, entering the waterways The
combination of these factors can potentially cause the displacement and
mortality of fish and local populations of invertebrates. which inhabit these
areas Impacts to aquatic communities will be minimized by stnct adherence
I
to NCDOT's BMPs
D. Special Topics
1. Waters of the United States: Jurisdictional Issues
Wetlands and surface waters fall under the broad category of "Waters of the United
States" as defined in 33 CFR 328 3 and in accordance with provisions of Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (33 U S C 1344) Waters of the United States are regulated
by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
Investigation into wetland occurrence in the project impact area was conducted using
methods outlined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual
(Environmental Laboratory, 1987) No Jurisdictional wetlands were found within the
project study area
18
1
J Project construction cannot be accomplished without infringing on jurisdictional
surface waters Anticipated surface water impacts fall under the jurisdiction of the
USACE
2. Permits
In accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U S C 1344), a permit is
required trom the USACE for projects of this type for the discharge of dredged or fill
material into 'Waters of the United States"
A Nationwide Permit 23 is likely to be applicable for all impacts to Waters of the
United States resulting from the proposed project This permit authorizes activities
undertaken, assisted. authorized, regulated, funded or financed, in whole or part, by
another federal agency or department where that agency or department has
determined pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Regulation for
the Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the National Environmental Policy
j Act
(1) that the activity, work, or discharge is categorically excluded from
em ironmental documentation because it is included within a category of actions
l which neither individually nor cumulatively have a significant effect on the
environment, and
I (2) the office of the Chief of Engineers has been furnished notice of the agency's
or department s application for the categorical exclusion and concurs with that
determination
A Nationwide Permit 33 will be required if an on-site temporary detour is needed
during construction of Bridge No 320 This permit authorizes temporary structures,
work and discharges, including cofferdams, necessary for construction activities or
19
access fills or dewatering of construction sites, provided the associated primary
activity is authorized by the USACE or the U S Coast Guard, or for other construction
activities not subject to the USACE or U S Coast Guard regulations
A 401 Water Quality Certification, administered through the DWQ, will also be
required This certification is issued for any activity, which may result in a discharge
into waters for which a federal permit is required
a. Bridge Demolition
NCDOT's BMPs for Bridge Demolition (Case 2) will be implemented
The existing budge consists of timber and steel
i b. Mitigation
1 The USACE has adopted, through CEQ, a wetland mitigation policy which
embraces the concept of "no net loss of wetlands" and sequencing The
purpose of this policy is to restore and maintain the chemical, biological, and
physical integrity of waters of the United States, specifically wetlands
-j Mitigation of wetland impacts has been defined by the CEQ to include
avoiding impacts, minimizing impacts, rectifying impacts, reducing impacts
over time, and compensating for impacts (40 CFR 1508 20) Each of these
three aspects (avoidance, minimization, and compensatory mitigation) must be
considered sequentially
20
{
Avoidance - Avoidance examines all appropriate and practicable possibilities
of averting impacts to waters of the United States According to a 1990
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the USACE, in detennming "appropriate and practicable"
measures to offset unavoidable impacts such measures should be appropriate
to the scope and degree of those impacts and practicable in terms of cost,
existing technology, and logistics in light of overall project purposes
Minimization - Minimization includes examination of appropriate and
practicable steps to reduce adverse impacts to waters of the United States
Implementation of these steps will be required through project modifications
and permit conditions Minimization typically focuses on decreasing the
i
footprint of the proposed project through reduction of median widths, right-of-
way widths, fill slopes and/or road shoulder widths
Compensatory Mitigation - Compensatory mitigation is not normally
considered until anticipated impacts to waters of the United States have been
I
avoided and minimized to the maximum extent possible It is recognized that
"no net loss of wetlands" functions and values may not be achieved in each and
every permit action Appropriate and practicable compensatory mitigation is
required for unavoidable adverse impacts that remain after all appropriate and
practicable minimization has been required Compensatory actions often
include restoration, creation and enhancement of Waters of the United States
1
Such actions should be undertaken in areas adjacent to or contiguous with the
discharge site
Compensatory Mitigation is required for those projects authorized under
i
Section 404 Nationwide Permits that result in the fill or alteration of more
21
than 0 5 acre (0 2 hectares) of wetlands and/or 300 linear feet (91 4 meters)
of streams
3. Rare and Protected Species
Some populations of plants and animals have been or are in the process of decline
due to factors such as natural forces, competition from introduced species, or
i human related impacts such as destruction of habitat Rare and protected species
listed for Watauga County and any likely impacts to these species as a result of the
proposed project construction are discussed in the following sections
a. Federally Protected Species
Plants and animals with federal classification of Endangered (E), Threatened
(T), Proposed Endangered (PE), and Proposed Threatened (PT) are protected
under provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 of the Endangered Species Act of
1973 as amended
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists six federally
protected species for Watauga County as of the February 25, 2003 listing

C. Summary of Anticipated Impacts
1
No habitat is present in the project study area for any federally protected
species According to the NCNHP, there have been no recorded occurrences
of any rare or protected species within the project vicinity Therefore, no
impacts to either federal or state listed species are anticipated
A survey for green floater will be conducted prior to project letting
VIi. CULTURAL RESOURCES
A. Compliance Guidelines
This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act of 1966, as amended, implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation for
Compliance with Section 106, codified as 35 CFR Part 800 Section 106 requires that for
federally funded, licensed, or permitted projects having an effect on properties listed in or
eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation be given the opportunity to comment
B. Historic Architecture
A field survey of the Area of Potential Effect (APE) was conducted on September 23, 2002
All structures within the APE were photographed, and later reviewed by the State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO) In a concurrence form dated November 8, 2002 and a
memorandum dated December 20, 2002 the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO)
l concurred that there are no historic architectural resources either listed in or eligible for
32
listing in the National Register of Historic places within the APE A copy of the concurrence
form and the memorandum are included in Appendix A
C. Archaeology
t lie State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), in a memorandum dated December 20,
2002, did not recommend an archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with
this project A copy of the SHPO memorandum is included in Appendix A
VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
The project will have the following benefits The proposed improvements will cost-effectively
replace the structurally deficient bridge with a structurally improved bridge The load restriction will
be removed from the bridge for truck traffic The new bridge will provide improved safety due to the
wider typical section The design of the new bridge will not change the visual character of the area
and should be aesthetically acceptable to the residences in proximity to the bridge The proposed
improvement is anticipated to require a limited amount of additional existing right of way There
will be no impact on development as the closest residential development is located approximately
150 feet (46 meters) or more from the bridge In summary, the project is expected to have an overall
positiN e impact Replacement of the inadequate badge and construction of safety improvements will
result in safer and overall more efficient traffic operations
No adverse effect on public facilities or services is expected The project is not expected to
adversely affect social, economic or religious opportunities in the area
J
In compliance with Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in
Minority Populations and Low Income Populations) a review was conducted to detennine whether
minority of low income populations were receiving disproportionately high and adverse human

33
health and enN ironmental impacts as a result of this project The investigation determined the project
would not disproportionately impact any minority or low-income populations
the studied route does not contain any bicycle accommodations nor is it a designated bicycle route,
therefore no bicycle accommodations have been included as part of this project
there are no publicly owned parks, recreational facilities, or wildlife and waterfowl refuges of
national, state of local significance in the immediate vicinity of the project
No adverse effects to air quality are expected to result from this project This project is an air quality
neutral" project, so it is not required to be included in the regional emissions analysis (if
J applicable), and a project level CO analysis is not required Since the project is located in an
attainment area 40 CFR Part 51 is not applicable If vegetation or wood debris is disposed of by
open burning it shall be done in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations of the North
Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) for air quality in compliance with 15 NCAC 2D 0520 and
1990 Clean Air Act Amendments and the National Environmental Policy Act This evaluation
completes the assessment requirements for air quality, and no additional reports are required
Ambient noise levels may increase during the construction of this project, however this increase will
be only temporary and usually confined to daylight hours There should be no notable change in
traffic volumes after this project is completed Therefore, this project will have no adverse effect on
existing noise levels Noise Receptors in the project area will not be impacted by thus project This
evaluation completes the assessment requirements for highway noise set forth in 23 CFR Part 772.
No additional reports are required
The proposed project is not likely to adversely affect threatened or endangered species
The bridge replacement will not have an adverse effect on the quality of the human or natural
environment with the use of current NCDOT standards and specifications
34
Fhe project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulation No change in
land use is expected to result from construction of the project
No adverse impact on families or communities is anticipated No relocation of homes or businesses
is expected with the implementation of the proposed project
The proposed project will not involve lands protected in Section 4(f) of the U S Department of
Transportation Act of 1966
No geodetic survey markers will be impacted
The Farmland Protection Policy Act requires all federal agencies or their representatives to consider
the potential impacts to prime and important farmland sods by all land acquisition and construction
projects Since the bridge will be replaced at the existing location the Farmland Protection Policy
Act does not apply
An examination of records at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources,
Division of Water Quality, Groundwater Section and the North Carolina Department of Human
Resources, Solid Waste Management Section revealed no underground storage tanks or hazardous
waste sites in the project area
Watauga County is a participant in the National Flood Insurance Program The bridge is not within a
Detailed Study Area The new structure will be designed to match or lower the existing 100-year
storm elevation upstream of the roadway Since the proposed replacement for the bridge will be a
structure similar in waterway opening size, it is not anticipated to have any substantial adverse
impact on the existing floodplam and floodway Additional hydraulic information is included in the
technical memorandum prepared by Sungate Design Group, P A
All borrow and solid waste sites will be the responsibility of the Contractor Solid waste will be
disposed of in strict adherence to the NC Division of Highways "Standard Specifications for Roads
35
and Structures The Contractor will observe and comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations,
orders and decrees regarding the disposal of solid waste Solid waste will not be placed into any
existing land disposal site that is in violation of state or local rules and regulations The Contractor
will provide for and dispose of waste and debris in areas that are outside the right of way
On the has?s of the above discussion, ?t is concluded that no significant adverse environmental
effects will result from the implementation of this project The project is a Federal "Categorical
Etc.lusion due to its limited scope and lack of significant environmental consequences
IX. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
A mailing list was developed based upon property owners located near the bridge The mailing list
included approximately 25 names A newsletter mailed in early March 2003, announced that three
alternatives for replacing Bridge No 320 were being studied The newsletter was also made
available to the local news media (see news article in Appendix B) The newsletter also included an
announcement of a Citizen's Informational Workshop to obtain public comments on the alternatives
A copy of the newsletter is included in Appendix B
The workshop was held on March 31, 2003 at Bethel Elementary School in the community of Sugar
Groh e Due to snow, the school was closed that day and no one arrived at the school to admit DOT
staff Consequently, DOT staff met with a few citizens in the parking lot for about an hour Then
signs were posted at the school to advise any citizens arriving later of the opportunity to meet with
DOT' stall the following day at Foscoe Christian Church in Foscoe Village at a workshop scheduled
for TIP Project B-4318 Three citizens, consisting of property owners living near the bridge
attended After becoming informed of the details of the replacement, the property owners were
generally in agreement with the proposed replacement However, the property owner who owns the
right of way involved with the replacement supported the replacement at the existing location with
the temporary detour on the north (or northwest) side (referred to as Alternative 1) The other two
36
}
property owners were non-committal as to favoring one alternative over the other A copy of the
handout presented at the workshop is included in the Appendix B
A Local Public Otficials meeting was held on April 1, 2003 at 10 00 am at the Watauga County
Courtl louse The three studied alternates for B-4316 were presented Large displays, which
basically were enlargements of the Figure 3 A, 3B & 3C were shown Additional copies of the
newsletter, previously sent to those on the mailing list, were also made available to those
attending Five officials attended, including the Watauga County Manager. a Watauga County
Commissioner, the Watauga County Fire Marshall, and two representatives of the Watauga
County Planning and Inspections Department
Summary of Questions and Comments Received on B-4316 and Responses Provided at
Meetings
• What are the costs of the alternates?
Estimates are not available and are being developed
• How will traffic be maintained on the project during construction?
The road dead-ends and would require on-site detours
• What are the project schedules?
Right of way in 2004 and Construction in 2005
No opposition was expressed and there appeared to be over-all general support for
the bridge replacement
X. AREAS OF CONTROVERSY
No controversial issues have been identified during the project planning process and none are
anticipated

Dear Dr Thorpe,
The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians appreciates the invitation to participate as a consulting party in compliance
with 36CFR800 According to the information you provided, the EBCi THPO is unaware of any known cultural
resources or archaeological sites in the project area significant to our Tribe, or any known cultural resources or
archaeological sites eligible for the National Register of Historic Places However, should any cultural resources or
human remains be encountered during the proposed project's activities, work should cease and this office should be
contacted immediately
As a consulting party we request that you send all information pertaining to cultural resources within the above-
referenced project(s) area of potential effect (APE) for our review and comment If you have any questions, please
direct them to me at [phone] Thank you
Sincerely,

MEMO FOR: William T Goodwin, P E DATE: June 27, 2002
FROM: Marella Buncick
j SUBJECT: Review of NCDOT 2005 Bridge Program
( I have completed initial review of the approximately 70 proposed bridge replacements for
NCDOT Divisions 9-14 for the -,,ear 2005 I would like to commend NCDOT for
obtaining the natural resource information up front and allowing the agencies to review
the proposals and provide comments so early in the process. It was a large volume of
work for everyone involved but I feel that the input will be much more meaningful at this
early planning stage.
Attached is a spreadsheet with specific comments for each project reviewed All of the
projects have been assigned a Green. Yellow, or Red ranking depending on the resources
( affected and the need for future consultation As you will note, the ma)onty of the
projects received a Yellow ranking This is due in large part to the fact that there are
unresolved issues related to listed species Many of these projects likely will become
Green projects after further field review However, obligations under Section 7 of the
Act must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action
that may affect listed species or cntical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2)
f actions are subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or
1 (3) a new species is listed or cntical habitat is determined that may be affected by the
identified action.
I also have general comments regarding the process and reports My general comments
follow v
Report Content and Organization
1 The reports would be more easily handled if they were not spiral or otherwise
bound
2 Maps need to be much better Without a significant landmark-- highway, larger
town, other feature - it sometimes took a lone time to figure out the location of
the project within a county
3 The reports were organized somewhat similarly, but more consistency would aid
in the review process Perhaps a table that has the significant features ---stream
width, depth, DWQ class. etc --also would help
4 For listed species, it often was difficult to tell whether field surveys had been
conducted or whether the information was limited to a database search
5 In the future, I would appreciate having the Rosgen stream classification included
as part of the information
Listed Species Surveys
Projects currently ranked as Yellow will need to be reviewed in the future after the stated
issues are resolved. For those reports with unresolved issues related to listed species, I
would recommend that NCDOT wait until closer to implementation time to conduct final
surveys. In general, after three to five years we need updated information regarding the
project and listed species. Additionally, when aquatic species are involved (particularly
mussels) several surveys may be required to adequately determine presence or absence
The three projects receiving a Red ranking will need to be followed very closely to
determine future consultation requirements. These include B-4287 (actually 2 bridge
replacements), B-4286, and B-4282. These projects were ranked as Red because of the
significance of the number of listed resources potentially affected and the river (either
main stem or tributary) involved
I would encourage NCDOT to require consultants to at least assess habitat for the bog
turtle While the bog turtle technically does not require Section 7 consultation, ?t is a
species of concern and NCDOT is actively managing mitigation sites or parts of sites for
this species Additionally, the Wildlife Resources Commission considers this animal rare
in NC and participates actively in surveys and conservation efforts on its behalf
Bridge Design and Construction Practices
I am assuming that FWS comments/recommendations in the past regarding bridge design,
demolition, and construction practices will be folded into each of these projects Since
NCDOT is also working on a BMP manual that covers these practices, I think it would be
redundant to state them again However, if any questions anse. please let me know I
would like to emphasize that we prefer off-site detours wherever possible, to minimize
effects to resources
Each of these projects has been assigned a log number Please refer to these numbers in
future requests regarding the subject projects. Thank you again for the opportunity to
provide these comments. If you have questions, please let me know

Habitat Conservation Program, NCWRC
DATE- August 27, 2003
SUBJECT Scopmg review of NCDOT's proposed replacement of Bridge No 320 over
Beech Creek on SR 1153, Watauga County TIP No B-4316
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has requested comments from
the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Comrmssion (NCWRC) regarding impacts to fish and
wildlife resources resulting from the subject project. Staff biologists have reviewed the
information provided and visited the site on April 17, 2003. The following preliminary
comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy
It Act (42 U S.C 4332(2)(c)) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as
amended, 16 U S C. 661-667d)
follows
Our standard recommendations for bridge replacement projects of this scope are as
We generally prefer spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require work
within the stream and do not require stream channel realignment The horizontal and
vertical clearances provided by bridges allows for human and wildlife passage beneath
the structure, does not block fish passage, and does not block navigation by canoeists and
boaters
2 Bridge deck drams should not discharge directly into the stream
3 Live concrete should not be allowed to contact the water in or entering into the stream.
4 If possible, bridge supports (bents) should not be placed in the stream.

5 If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, they should be removed back to
original ground elevations immediately upon the completion of the project. Disturbed
areas should be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and native tree species should be
planted with a spacing of not more than 10'x10' If possible, when using temporary
structures the area should be cleared but not grubbed Clearing the area with chain saws,
?- mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat
intact, allows the area to revegetate naturally and minunizes disturbed soil.
6 A clear bank (riprap free) area of at least 10 feet should remain on each side of the steam
underneath the bridge
7 In trout waters, the N C. Wildlife Resources Commission reviews all U S Army Corps of
Engineers nationwide and general `404' permits We have the option of requesting
additional measures to protect trout and trout habitat and we can recommend that the
project require an individual `404' permit
8 In streams that contain threatened or endangered species, Mr Hal Bain with the NCDOT
- ONE should be notified Special measures to protect these sensitive species may be
required NCDOT should also contact the U S Fish and Wildlife Service for information
on requirements of the Endangered Species Act as it relates to the project.
9 In streams that are used by anadromous fish, the NCDOT official policy entitled "Stream
Crossing Guidelines for Anadromous Fish Passage (May 12, 1997)" should be followed.
10. In areas with significant fisheries for sunfish, seasonal exclusions may also be
recommended
11. Sedimentation and erosion control measures sufficient to protect aquatic resources must
be implemented prior to any ground disturbing activities. Structures should be
maintained regularly, especially following rainfall events
12 Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within
15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control
13 All work in or adjacent to stream waters should be conducted in a dry work area.
Sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, or other diversion structures should be used where
possible to prevent excavation in flowing water
14 Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in stream channels in
order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants
into streams.
15 Only clean, sediment-free rock should be used as temporary fill (causeways), and should
be removed without excessive disturbance of the natural stream bottom when
construction is completed

16 During subsurface investigations, equipment should be inspected daily and maintained to
prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids,
or other toxic materials
17 If culvert installation is being considered, conduct subsurface investigations prior to
structure design to determine design options and constraints and to ensure that wildlife
passage issues are addressed
used
If corrugated metal pipe arches, reinforced concrete pipes, or concrete box culverts are
The culvert must be designed to allow for aquatic He and fish passage Generally, the
culvert or pipe invert should be buried at least 1 foot below the natural streambed
(measured from the natural thalweg depth). If multiple barrels are required, barrels other
than the base flow barrel(s) should be placed on or near stream bankfull or floodplain
bench elevation (similar to Lyonsfield design). These should be reconnected to
floodplain benches as appropriate. This may be accomplished by utilizing sills on the
upstream end to restrict or divert flow to the base flow barrel(s) Silled barrels should be
filled with sediment so as not to cause noxious or mosquito breeding conditions.
Sufficient water depth should be provided in the base flow barrel during low flows to
accommodate fish movement If culverts are longer than 40-50 linear feet, alternating or
notched baffles should be installed in a manner that mimics existing stream pattern This
should enhance aquatic life passage- 1) by depositing sediments in the barrel, 2) by
maintaining channel depth and flow regimes, and 3) by providing resting places for fish
and other aquatic organisms. In essence, the base flow barrel(s) should provide a
continuum of water depth and channel width without substantial modifications of
velocity
2 If multiple pipes or cells are used, at least one pipe or box should be designed to remain
dry during normal flows to allow for wildlife passage
Culverts or pipes should be situated along the existing channel alignment whenever
possible to avoid channel realignment Widening the stream channel must be avoided
Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts
aquatic life passage
4 Riprap should not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a
manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should
be professionally designed, sized, and installed
In most cases, we prefer the replacement of the existing structure at the same location
with road closure If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour should be designed and
located to avoid wetland impacts, minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing
stream banks If the structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure should be removed
and the approach fills removed from the 100-year floodplam Approach fills should be removed

down to the natural ground elevation. The area should be stabilized with grass and planted with
native tree species. Tall fescue should not be used in riparian areas If the area that is reclaimed
-- was previously wetlands, NCDOT should restore the area to wetlands If successful, the site may
be used as wetland mitigation for the subject project or other projects in the watershed
Project specific comments
B-4316, Watauga Co , Bridge No 320 over Beech Creek on SR 1153 Beech Creek is
classified as C Tr, is Hatchery Supported Designated Public Mountain Trout Waters and has
an excellent wild trout fishery. A moratorium prohibiting in-stream work and land
disturbance within the 25-foot trout buffer is recommended from October 15 to April 15 to
protect the egg and fiy stages of rainbow, brook and brown trout Sediment and erosion
control measures should adhere to the design standards for sensitive watersheds The bridge
should be replaced with another spanning structure
We request that NCDOT routinely minimize adverse impacts to fish and wildlife
resources in the vicinity of bridge replacements. The NCDOT should install and maintain
sedimentation control measures throughout the life of the project and prevent wet concrete from
contacting water in or entering into these streams Replacement of bridges with spanning
structures of some type, as opposed to pipe or box culverts, is recommended in most cases
Spanning structures allow wildlife passage along streambanks, reducing habitat fragmentation
and vehicle related mortality at highway crossings.
If you need further assistance or information on NCWRC concerns regarding bridge
replacements, please contact me at [phone]. Thank you for the opportunity to review and

SUBJECT Scoping Comments for Watauga County, SR 1153, Bridge No 320 over Beech Creek,
F A Project No BRZ-1153(6), State Project No 8 2752301,TIP Project B-4316
This letter is in response to your request for comments on the above-referenced project Beech Creek
(index 8-20), HU 040201) is classified as C trout
According to the Watauga River Basinwide Water Quality Plan (NCDWQ 2002), several rare or unusual
benthic macroinvertebrate were collected in the Watauga River basin during the 1999 basinwide surveys
In particular, Beech Creek is the only stream in North Carolina where the intolerant caddisfly
(Ceratopsyche (=Symphitopsyche) walken) is found The primary water quality problem is nonpoint
source runoff, including inputs of sediment Habitat problems that were noted along the upper Watauga
River include sedimentation, loss of pool habitat, narrow riparian zones and frequent breaks in the
riparian zone Several areas of bank erosion, channel migration and channel filling were also seen along
the mainstem of the upper Watauga River Abundant algae growths were also observed at this site,
suggesting some enrichment from nutrients
The NC Division of Water Quality staff has the following recommendations
¦ The three proposed alternatives were not discussed sufficiently in the scoping letter to be able to
provide comments as to the potential environmental impacts of these options A comparison of the
relative amount of impacts and the duration of the temporary impacts of each alternative will need to
be included to be able to provide helpful comments
• The bndge should be designed as a single span with no piers in the stream
¦ Storm water shall be designed to be carried across the bridge (no deck drains over the stream) and
diverted through grass-lined ditches, vegetated buffers or directed to a storm water collection device
prior to entering Beech Creek
¦ Use Sedimentation and Erosion Control Guidelines for Sensitive Watersheds [ 15A NCAC 4B
0124(a)-(d)) prior to any ground-disturbing activities to mmimize impacts to downstream aquatic
resources
• Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation shall be planted on all bare soil within 10 days of
ground-disturbing activities to provide long term erosion control
¦ Use a turbidity curtain or other methods (BMPs) proven to prevent violation of the turbidity standard
for trout waters
Use BMPs for bridge demolition and removal, Case 1 (9-20-99 NCDOT policy, see

Dear Mr Moore
SUBJECT BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECTS
This letter is in response to your correspondence concerning budge replacements in Watauga County
I Re- Bridge No. 320 on Highway SR 1153 We do not travel this road with buses and will not be
affected. 13 _ L-3 I G
Re: Budge No 16 on Highway SR 1541. This bridge is crossed by two buses, 4 times per day Several
students will be impacted if this bridge is dosed during the school year It would involve re-routing
buses, and the back-tracking would increase the associated fuel and labor costs It would also
significantly increase ride times for a number of students 13-4311
Re: Bridge No 321 on Highway SR 1598. We travel this road, but would be ask the parents of
students living on this road to meet the bus at the intersection of Grandfather Road and NC Hwy 105

DESCRIPTION OF ALTERNATIVES
• Three alternates for replacing the bridge are shown on Figures 2a, 2b and 3c
(It is anticipated that one of these alternates will be selected as the preferred
alternate for replacement )
• The proposed alternates will begin approximately 400 feet south of the
bridge and ends approximately 250 feet north of the bridge
• Additional right of way will be required to contain the improvements.
• A mayor change in the elevation of the roadway is not anticipated
• The proposed roadway and bridge cross sections are shown in Figure 3
• Traffic will be maintained on-site (that is, the road will remain open during
construction).
• The construction period is anticipated to be one year

and is projected to increase to 200 vehicles per day in the year 2025
Approximately 3 percent of this traffic is trucks
r
SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
• The proposed improvements will replace the one-lane and structurally
deficient bridge with a wider bridge
• The load restriction will be removed for truck traffic
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
An environmental document-a federal categorical exclusion-is being developed
Preparation of this document includes an analysis of impacts to the human and
natural environment Information gathered during this analysis, as well as cost
estimates and public comment, will be used to select the preferred alternate This
document will be made available to the public later this year Right of way

DOT Schedules Watauga Bridges For Ur Ac
?T
Replacement
'kItizens Workshops Set
Miles Tager M
Two bridges in Watauga County, one each to the Bethel and Foscoe communities, are
fcheduled to be replaced by the North Carolina Department of Transportation
I
The first span, leading to a dead end on Grandfather Road in the Grandfather Community in
Foscoe, crosses the river approximately a mile below its headwaters on Grandfather
Mountain on the Avery County line, a stretch designated by the North Carolina Division of m#FSr
Water Quality as High Quality Waters and class B trout-breeding waters
going
The bridge is narrow, provides only a single traffic lane and does not meet current design on?
tandards," according to the DOT news release CALENDARS
That also describes the bridge over Beech Creek on Wiley Harmon Road in Bethel, each
pan was built in the late 1960's
Agency Project Manager Missy Dickens said the bridges have not been listed because of
?afety or traffic issues but a response to an internal survey list that ranks all the spans in the
ktate on a scale of 0-100
We survey all bridges every two years," Dickens said, "once they fall below a certain
?hreshold they are schedule for replacement and become eligible for federal funding " North Cupf}ra

Federal monies pay for 80% of the design and construction costs 1 st place

We look at the geometry, the land width, the shoulder, the horizontal and vertical alignment, for Newspaper
the actual structure and the maintenance records," Dickens said Websites2002
Grandfather Road dead-ends approximately one-half mile from the bridge, and serves a
small community of eleven homes, some vacant
In their latest five-year managemen? plan for the Watauga River, the state DWQ cited
sedimentation as the prime threat to the river's water quality, currently the cleanest in the
state
'The construction of roads, driveways, commercial and recreational areas and homes must
be undertaken with proper care to prevent sediments from reacher irface waters," the plan
said
Both bridges have been included in the agency's 2002-2008 Transportation Improvement
Plan (TIP), meaning rights of way acquisitions will begin in 2004 and construction in 2005
The existing structures will stay open during construction, which is estimated to take about a
year
The DOT will conduct 'drop-in' Citizen's Informational Workshops on the projects, where
citizens can view maps of the project, talk to DOT engineers, and register their comments to
,he agency
