Re: Proposed Water Line and Sewer Line Crossing of the South Fork of the New River.
Gentlemen:
This letter and attached joint application form serves to notify you of a proposed project
to cross the South Fork of the New River at the bridge which carries Highway Route 421 just
outside of Boone North Carolina. Attached to this letter is a copy of the joint application
being sent to the Corp of Engineers and the N.C. Department of Environment, Health, and
Natural Resources (Water Quality Planning office of the Division of Environmental
Management). Also included with this letter are copies of letters sent simultaneously to other
agencies.
According to Ms. Suzanne Keen (N.C. Division of Environmental Management), the
section of the South Fork of the New River at this point is Class C watershed categorization.
The crossing is downstream of the mouth of Mutton Creek (USGS Map).
The North Carolina Department of Transportation has just approved the use of
attaching the sewer line to the bridge instead of a separate structure. The water line in the
project is proposed to cross under the river and be encased in concrete. Please send us any
comments you may have and also forward that information to:

Dear Mr. Tudor:
TAKEo
PRIDE IN
AMERICA ?

This is in response to your letter of June 10, 1992, received
June 29, 1992, requesting comments on a water and sewer line project
along U.S. 221-421 outside of Boone, Watauga County, North Carolina. The
following comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e), and
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531-1543).
As with any construction project, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) is particularly concerned about the potential impacts the
proposed action may have on listed or proposed endangered or threatened
species and on stream and wetland ecosystems. Preference should be given
to construction techniques that avoid or minimize encroachment and
impacts to these resources. Mitigation/compensation, on a habitat value
basis, will be required for all unavoidable stream (including riparian
habitat) and wetland habitit losses associated with the proposed action.
To the extent possible, mitigation should occur on site or on the stream
or watershed impacted. I
4?
According to information provided in your letter, the project involves a
water and sewer line bridge crossing over the south fork of the New
River. The proposed sewer line will be attached to the bridge, and the
water line will be encased in concrete and placed under the river as
a separate structure. The water line will be placed approximately
30 inches underneath the river bottom. The purpose of this project is to
extend water and sewer service to surrounding areas.
The Service has visited the proposed project site and believes that the
proposed project would result in minimal environmental impacts. The
project site has already been disturbed during bridge construction and
the placement of riprap on the riverbanks. However, we do recommend that
any further vegetation clearing be kept to a minimum. Also, if areas are
cleared, we recommend that native vegetation be planted as soon as

possible after construction is completed. Planting should be in
accordance with guidelines suggested by the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission. We also recommend that actdhl construction be
accomplished so that wet concrete does'not'contact the water entering the
river to reduce the likelihood of fish,.,ki:-Is:associated with this
project. Finally, our records indicate that there are no federally
listed or proposed endangered or threatened species within the impact
area of the proposed action.
We appreciate the opportunity to review and provide comments on this
project. If you have any questions regarding our comments, please
contact Ms. Janice Nicholls of our staff at 704/665-1195, Ext. 227.
Please note that our Field Office in Raleigh, North Carolina, handles all
consultations, permit and license reviews, and requests of this nature
for the eastern portion of the state. Our office is responsible for the
western portion of the state, including Watauga County. Our address is
330 Ridgefield Court, Asheville, North Carolina 28806. In future
correspondence concerning this project, please reference Log Number
4-2-92-088.

SUBJECT: A review of an application by Draper Aden Associates to
install a waterline under the South Fork New River near
the US 421 bridge just outside of Boone, Watauga County
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Guy Tudor, a representative of Draper Aden Associates (2206
South Main Street, Blacksburg, VA 24060) is requesting a letter
of concurrence from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) to obtain a 404 permit from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided
by the applicant, and professional biologists on our staff
conducted a site visit on July 23, 1992. These comments are
provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of
1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat.•401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The applicant proposes to attach a sewerline to the US 421
bridge and install a waterline under the South Fork New River to
extend water and sewer service. The waterline must be buried to
protect it against damage from freezing. The waterline will be
encased in concrete.
Based on the information provided by the applicant and our
information on the range of trout in the project area, we do not
believe this project will cause significant effects to waters
supporting trout. Therefore, we do not object to the project as
proposed provided that wet concrete is not allowed to come in
