S. Army Corps of Engineers 151 Patton Avenue, Room 208 Asheville, NC 28801-2714 Subject: 404/401 Nationwide 42 Permit Application Town of Beech Mountain Sidepath Project adjacent to NC 184 (Beech Mountain Parkway) Avery and Watauga Counties NCDWR Permit Fee: $240 Dear Ms. Fuemmeler: The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is providing Small Construction Funds to the Town of Beech Mountain to construct a 10-foot wide sidepath along NC I 84 (Beech Mountain Parkway) from 0.2-mile North of the South Town Limit to 0.4-mile North of the South Town Limit. The total lenb h ofthe project is 0.20 mile. Vaughn and Melton has been retained by the Town of Beech Mountain to design and pennit the project. The putpose of the project is to improve safety by providing and improving bicycle and pedestrian facilities along NC 184 for the traveling public. Most of the project will be constructed on NCDOT and Town of Beech Mountain right-of-way. The west shoulder of NC 184 is currently being used by the public as a walkway to access Skyway Road and the ski slope. I have enclosed a PCN application, Preliminaiy Jurisdictional Detei-�nination Forms, SHPO form, permit drawings showmg the proposed work, plan sheets, a USGS topographical map, and photographs. Threatened and Endangered Species The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists 37 species with federal status for Avery County that are known from cunent records or were known to occur in the county historically. The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) was delisted in August 2007 and is protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA), which prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition of "take" that includes "disturb". The bog turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergii) is listed as threatened due to similarity of appearance to the northern bog turtle. Twelve species, Carolina northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus coloratus), Gray bat (Myotis gNisescens), noi�thern long-eared bat (NLEB, Myotis septentrionalis), Virginia big-eared bat (Coryrrorhinus townsendii viNginianus), Spruce-fir moss spider (MicrohexuNa montivaga), Blue Ridge goldem•od (Solidago spithamaea), Heller's blazing star (Liatris helleri), Roan mountain bluet (Hedyotis gr•andifolia), Spreading avens (Geum �adiatuni), and rock gnome licheiz (Gymnoder•ma lineare) have current records and are listed as threatened or endangered. The Rusty-patched bumble bee (�on7bus affinis) is listed from historic records. A query of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Prograin database, dated April 27, 2017 indicates only one known species, Heller's blazing star, to occur within 1.0 mile of the pi�oject study area. Bog turtle (Clernmys muhlenbergii) — Threatened (S/A) H�bitatDescription: Bog turtle habitat consists of open, groundwater supplied (springfed), graminoid dominated wetlands along riparian coi7•idors or on seepage slopes. These habitats are designated as mountain bogs by the NCNHP, but they are technically poor, moderate, or rich fens Your Project. Our Promise. raughn � Melfon Consulting Engineers that may be associated witll wet pastures and old drainage ditches that have saturated muddy substrates with open canopies. Plants found in bog turtle habitat include sedges, rushes, marsh ferns, herbs, shrubs (tag alder, hardhack, bluebeiry, etc.), and wetland tree species (red maple and silky willow). These habitats often support sphagnum moss and may contain carnivorous plants (sundews and pitcherplants) and rare orchids. Potential habitats may be found in western Piedmont and Mountain counties from 700 to 4500 feet elevation in North Carolina. Soil types (poorly drained silt loams) from which bog turtle habitats have been found include Arkaqua, Chewacla, Dellwood, Codorus complex, Hatboro, Nikwasi, Potomac — Iotla complex, Reddies, Rosman, Tate — Cullowhee complex, Toxaway, Tuckasegee — Cullasaja complex, Tusquitee, Watauga, and Wehadkee. Biodogical Conclusioat: A biological conclusion is not required. Wetland habitat is present within the project study area; however, wetland habitats present in the project area are not suitable to support bog turtles. Carolina Northern Flying Squirrel (Glauconzys sabNinus coloratus) — Endangered Hc�bitat Description: There are several isolated populations of the Carolina Northern flying squin•el in the mountains of North Carolina. This nocturnal squirrel pt•efers the ecotone between coniferous (red spruce, Fraser fir, or hemlock) and mature northern hardwood forests (beech, yellow birch, maple, hemlock, red oak, and buckeye), typically at elevations above 4,500 feet mean sea level. In some instances, the squirrels may be found on nan•ow, north-facing valleys above 4,000 feet mean sea level. Both farest types are used to search for food and the hardwood forest is used for nesting sites. Mature forests with a thick evergreen understory and nuinerous snags are most preferable. In winter, squirrels inhabit tree cavities in older hardwoods, particularly yellow birch. Biological Conclusion: No Effect i�ifiPi j,': �vvi vv'iii iivi uii�...C�i i��. �uiv�iiiiu iivTiii�iTi �i`y'iii� SC1iiiiPi.i� SiiiCi: Siiiiaulc iii�ii cii:Jaiivit habitats are not available in the project area. No known populations of Carolina northern flying squirrels have been identified within a 1-mile radius of the project area (Natural Heritage Eleinent Occurrences GIS database). No Carolina northei-n flying squin-el were observed during field surveys conducted on June 12, 2017. Gray bat (Myotis gNisenscens) - Endangered Habitat Description: Gray bats roost in caves year around. Most winter caves are deep and vertical; all provide large volume below the lowest entrance and act as cold air traps. A variety of cave types are used during spring and fall transient periods. In summer, maternity colonies prefer caves that act as warm aii• traps with restricted rooms or doomed ceiling that can trap the combined body heat of thousands of clustered individuals. Gray bats generally do not roost in trees; however, they have been found in buildings and under bridges. Biological Coszclusio�z: No Effect There are no caves in the project study area. No known populations of gray bats have been identified within a 1-mile radius ofthe project area (Natural Heritage Element Occurrences GIS database). No gray bats were observed during the field suiveys conducted on June 12, 2017. Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) - Threatened Hnbit�zt Description: In North Carolina, the Northern lonb eared bat (NLEB) occurs in the mountains, with scattered records in the Piedmont and coastal plain. In western North Carolina, NLEB spend winter hibernating u1 caves and mines. Since this species is not known to be a long- distance migrant, and caves and subterranean mines do not occur in eastern North Carolina, it is uncertain whether or where NLEB hibernate in eastern North Carolina. During the summer; NLEB roost singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dead trees (typically >3 inches dbh). Males and non-reproductive females inay also roost in cooler Your Project. Our Promise. raughn � Melfon Consulting Englneers places, like caves and mines. This bat also been found, rarely, roosting in structures like barns and sheds, under eaves of buildings, behind window shutters, in bridges, and in bat houses. Foraging occui•s on forested hillsides and ridges, and occasionally over forest clearings, over water, and along tree-lined corridors. Mature forests may be an important habitat type for foraging. Biological Conclusion: May Affect (exernpt fi°oj� o�cial Biological Conclusion based on con�pliance with the 4(d) Rule.J Some ti•ee removal is a�rticipated for this project; however, it would be consistent with the exemption fi•om incidental take for NLEB as outlined in the Final 4(d) Rule; however, this part of Avery County is on the border of a watershed considered to have maternity h•ees and/or hibernation sites for the species. There are known ;ecords of NLEB in the Beech Creek watershed, which lies several miles north of tlle project area (personal coinmunication with Ms. Marella Buncick, USFWS); however, habitat is limited in the project area and should not impact NLEB. No NLEB's were obseived during the field surveys conducted on June 12, 2017. Virginia big-eared bat (Co� ynorhinus townsendii virginianus) — Endangered Habitat Description: The Virginia big-eared bat is a non-migratory bat, which inhabits caves year-round. These caves are typically located in karst regions (limestone caves and sinkholes) dominated by oak-hickory or beech-maple-hemlock forest. The bats hibernate 'vl the cooler, well- ventilated portions of caves during the winter and rnay lose half of their autumn body weight befare spring. In early spring, females congregate in mateinity colonies in the warm parts of certain caves and give birth to a single individual. The young are left in the cave while the female leaves to forage. The feinale returns periodically to allow the young to suckle. Bats feed on moths and other flying insects. These bats are extremely sensitive to human disturbance, which can force abandonment of the young and force the use of valuable energy reserves needed to survive winter hibernation. Biological Conclusion: No Effect There are no caves in or near the project area. No known populations of Virginia big-eared bat have been identified within a 1-mile radius of the project area (Natural Hei•itage Element Occurrences GIS database). No species were observed during the field surveys conducted on June 12, 2017. Rusty-patched bumble bee (Bornbus a�nis) - Endangered Historically, the rusty patched bumble bee (RPBB) was broadly distributed across the eastern United States, Upper Midwest, and southern Quebec and Ontario in Canada. Since 2000, this bumble bee has been reported from only 13 states and 1 Canadian province: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maiyland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin and Ontario, Canada. Rusty patched bumble bees live in colonies that include a single queen and female workers. The colony produces male and new queens in late sutnmer. Queens are the largest bees in the colony, and workers are the smallest. All RPBB's have black heads, but only the workers and males have a rusty reddish patch centrally located on the back. Habitat Description: RPBB's once occupied grasslands and tallgrass prairies of the Upper Midwest and northeast, but most grasslands have been lost, degraded, or fragmented by conversion to other uses. Bumble bees require areas that provide necta�• and pollen from flowers, nesting sites, which are comprised of underground and abandoned rodent cavities or clumps of grass and undisturbed soil, which provides overwintering sites for hibernating queens. RPBB's elnerge in early spring and is one of the last species to go into hibernation. The bees need a constant supply and diversity of flowers blooming throughout the colony's long life (April through September). In late summer, new queens and males hatch from eggs. Males disperse to Your Project. Our Promise. 1�aughn � Melfon Consulting Engineers mate with new queens form other colonies. In fall, founding queens, workers, and rnales die. Only new queens go into diapause (hibernation) overwinter, and the cycle begins again in t11e sprmg. Biological Conclusiosz: No Effect There is very limited habitat along the project corridor. No known populations of rusty-patched bumble bees have been identified within a 1-mile radius of the project area (Natural Heritage Element Occurrences GIS database). A few wildflowers were blooming along the corridor; however, no i1►sty-patch bumble bees or other bumble bees were observed during the field surveys conducted on June 12, 2017. Spruce-fir moss spidei• (MicNohexzrra montivaga) — Endange�•ed Habitnt Description: The spruce-fir moss spider lives in high elevation spruce-fir forest in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. Typical habitat is damp, but well drained moss mats a owing on rock outcrops and boulders in well- shaded areas within these forest types. The species requires microhabitats (moss mats), which cannot be too dry since they are very sensitive to desiccation. The species requires areas of high and constant humidity; however, too much water can also pose a threat to the species. Over the past century, spivice-fir forest healtl� has declined due to past logging and burning practices, disease, insect damage, storm damage, air pollution and in soine cases development. Thinning of the tree canopy can drastically affect the microclimate by increasing temperatures and decreasing moisture content of the inoss mats requii•ed by the species. Biological Conclusion: No Effect. This project will not affect the spruce-fir moss spider, since suitable high elevation habitats are not available in the project area. No known populations of the spider have been identified within a 1-mile radius of the project area (Natural Heritage Eleinent Occurrences GIS database). Some iaige uius�-cuvei°e�t 6ouiuers exi�C ai�tig ii�►e project corricior; however, ihey are basicaiiy exposed to direct sunlight and are too diy to support the species. No spiders were observed during field surveys conducted on June 12, 2017. Blue Ridge goldenrod (Solidago spithan2aea) — Threatened HabitatDescription: Blue Ridge Goldenrod is a sinall perennial herb that occupies rock outci•ops, ledges and cliffs at high elevations, generally above 4,600 feet. It is found in the northwest counties of North Carolina along the Tennessee border. The species grows in full sunlight and prefei•s shallow, acidic soils. Confined to a few rocky summits in the Blue Ridge Mountains, this species is subject to minor threats such as trampling by hikers and climbers as well as more pervasive threats such as acid precipitation, and the decline of nearby spruce-fir forests. Biological Conclusion: No Effect. This project will not affect Blue Ridge Goldenrod, since suitable high elevation habitats are not available in the project area. No known populations of tlie species have been identified within a 1-mile radius of the project area (Natural Heritage Element Occurrences GIS database). No plants were observed during field surveys conducted on June 12, 2017. Heller's blazing star (Liatris helleri) — Threatened Habitat Descraptioia: Heller's blaaing star is a perennial herb in the Aster fainily that occupies rock outcrops, ledges and cliffs at high elevations. It is found in the northwest counties of North Carolina along the Tennessee border as well as Caldwell and Burke counties. The species grows in full sunlight and pt•efers shallow, acidic soils. Confined to a few rocky summits, this species is subject to minor threats such as trampling by hikers and climbers as well as more pervasive threats such as acid precipitation, which has been found to be concentrated in the Southern Appalachian Mountaii�s. Your Project. Our Promise. raughn � Melton Consulting Engineers Baological Conclusaon: No Effect This project will not affect Heller's blazing star, since suitable high elevation habitats are not available in the project area. A known population of the species has been identified within a 1- mile i�adius of the project area (Natural Heritage Element Occurrences GIS database); however, habitat is lacking and no plants were observed during field surveys conducted on June 12, 2017. Roan mountain bluet (Hedyotis grandifolia) — Endangered Habitat Description: Roan mountain bluet is a perennial herb that occupies rock outcrops, ledges and cliffs at high elevations in and around grassy balds. The species grows at elevations of 4600 to 6200 feet. It is found in the northwest counties of Nortll Carolina along the Tennessee border. The species grows in moderate to full sunlight and prefers shallow, acidic soils. Confined to a few rocky summits, this species is subject to minor tlu�eats such as trampling by hikei•s and climbers as well as more pervasive threats such as development and acid precipitation, which has been found to be concentrated in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Biologic�rl Conclusion: This project will not affect Roan mountain bluet, since suitable high elevation habitats are not available in the project area. No known populations of t11e species have been identified within a 1-mile radius of the project area (Natural Heritage Element Occurrences GIS database). No plants were observed during field surveys conducted on June 12, 2017. Spreading avens (Geum radiatum) — Endangered Habitat Description: Spreading avens occurs in areas exposed to full sun on high elevation cliffs, outcrops, and bases of steep talus slopes. This perennial herb also occurs in thin, gravelly soils of grassy balds near summit outcrops. The species prefers a northwest aspect, but can be found on west-southwest through north-northeast aspects. Forests surrounding known occurrences are generally dominated by either red spruce-Fraser fir, northern hardwoods with scattered spruce, or high-elevation red oaks. Spreading avens typically occurs in shallow, acidic �oil (sitcii a� iiie Duiioii �eries} iii �ra�n� aiiu �i`evic;e� ui igiieuii5, ttieiaitrur�iii�, ur metasedimentary rocks. Soils may be well drained but almost continuously wet, with soils at some known occurrences subject to diying out in summer due to exposure to sun and shallow depths. Known populations occur at elevations �•anging froin 4,296 to 6,268 feet above mean sea level. Blue Ridge goldenrod, Heller's blazing star, and Roan Mountain bluet are a few of its common associate species. Biological Conclusion: No Effect This project will not affect Spreadulg avens, since suitable high elevation habitats are not available in the project area. No known populations of this species have been identified within a 1-mile radius of the project area (Natural Heritage Element Occun•ences GIS database). No plants were obsetved during field surveys conducted on June 12, 2017. Rock gnome lichen (Gyn�noderma lineare) — Endangered Hcrbitat Description: Rock gnorne lichen occurs in high elevation coniferous forests (particularly those dominated by red spruce and Fraser fir) usually on rocky outcrops or cliff habitats. This squamulose lichen only grows in areas with a great deal of humidity, such as high elevations above 5,000 feet where there is often fog, or on boulders and large outcrops in deep river gorges at lower elevations and along streams. Habitat is primarily limited to vertical rock faces where seepage water from forest soils above flows only at veiy wet times. The species requires a modet•ate amount of sunlight, but cannot tolerate high-intensity solar radiation. The lichen does well on moist, generally open sites with northern exposures, but requires at least partial canopy coverage on southern or western aspects because of its intolerance to high solar radiation. Biological Conclusio�z: No Effect This project will not affect rock gnome lichen since suitable high elevation habitats are not available in the project area. No known populations of this species have been identified within a Your Project. Our Promise. raughn � Melfon Consulting Engineers 1-mile radius of the project area (Nati.iral Heritage Ele�nent Occut-rences GIS database). No rock gnome lichens were observed during field surveys conducted on June 12, 2017. Historic Architecture and Archaeological Resources This project will not impact any historic properties or archaeological sites eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The NC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) issued a"no comment letter" dated August 22, 2017 (see attached letter). Impacts to Waters of the United States The project will impact two unnamed headwater tributaries (UT) of West Fork Pond Creek (DWR Class: WS-II, Tr, HQW). The first UT has a well-defined stream channel with a substrate of cobble, gravel and sand/silt and is approximately 2-3 feet in width. The second UT is a sp��ing head (seep) at the toe of the fill slope along NC 184. It has a well-defined sn•eam channel and is approximately 1-foot in width. Both UT's flow into a sinall pond that is used as a water source to make snow for the Beech Mountain Ski Resort. These waters meet the definition of Relatively Permanent Waters and are under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Coips of Engineers. In order to construct the project, it will be necessary to impact waters of the United States in the Watauga River Basin (HUC 06010103). Listed below is a suinmary of the proposed impacts.
