TO: Melba McGee, Policy Development WATER uY?Lr ?I®:?r - FROM: Monica Swihar4l, Water Quality Planning SUBJECT: Project Number 614; Western Boulevard Extension EA The Division's Water Quality :Section has reviewed the subject document. Our Division is responsible for the issuance of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for activities which impact waters of the state including wetlands. On September 14, 1993, the 'Division issued a 401 Certification to the City of Raleigh to impact the waters of Rocky Branch during the construction of the Western Boulevard extension. Several important conditions were added to the 401 Certification to protect water quality. These conditions should be included in the EA, in order for the document to be a complete record of the mitigation planned for this project. Referencing the conditions in the 401 Certification would also provide further assurances that the project planners intend to comply with these conditions. Pending completion of the environmental review process for this document, DEM may need to reexamine our Certification to be sure that no changes are warranted as a result of this review.

T TO: Edythe McKinney Assistant Secretary, Environmental Protection THRU: Daniel C. Oakley Special Deputy Attorney General FROM: Donald W. Laton , Assistant Attorney Umperal DATE: November 16, 1992 SUBJECT: N.C. Environmental Policy Act; Western Blvd. Project In response to written inquiries made by citizens to the Attorney General's Office and as a . follow up to subsequent conversations with Bill Flournoy and personnel within the Division of Land Resources about the Western Boulevard Extension Project . (the Project), the Environmental Protection Section (EPS) offers this opinion for your consideration. . Specifically, the following question has been posed: Whether an environmental impact statement (EIS) pursuant to the N.C. Environmental Policy Act, N.C. Gen. Stat. §113A-1 et seq. -should be issued by the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources (DEHNR) for the above-referenced project. The determination as to whether an EIS should be issued is. DEHNR's. However, the EPS believes that circumstances exist which require DEHNR to take all appropriate steps. in accordance with the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (the Act). which are prerequisites 'to making the ultimate determination of significant environmental impact requiring environmental documentation. The Project is an exclusive undertaking of the City of Raleigh requiring the submission of a sedimentation pollution control plan (Plan) to the Land Quality Section of the Division of Land Resources within DEHNR for approval. (The EPS has not investigated whether other state act ions may also be required, but it is likely a §401 certification from DEM would be involved. Involvement of state agencies other than DEHNR may occur and may affect responsibilities ? r5AMO? s State of North Carolina Department of Justice :..- . An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Edythe McKinney November 16, 1992 Page 2 under the Act.) Therefore, the expenditure of public moneys and the presence of state action in the form of Plan approval cannot be realistically disputed. As a result of the expenditure and action, DEHNR must . exercise its responsibility to determine if the Project significantly affects the quality of the environment of North Carolina. Upon making that determination, an environmental document must issue. See G.S. 113A-4(2). The level of detail for such environmental documentation is also a determination for DEHNR. See 1 N.C.A.C. 25; See also 15A N.C.A.C. 1C, "Conformity With North Carolina Environmental Policy Act". (Street construction projects are not non-major activity as defined by 15A N.C.A.C. 1C.0504. In other words, street construction projects do not fall within the parameters of the minimum criteria as an activity not routinely requiring environmental documentation under the Act.) The EPS further believes that the determination of significant environmental impact should demonstrate consideration of the purpose of the Act as set forth in G.S. 113A-2 and, consistency with North Carolina's environmental policy which states: "it shall be the continuing policy of the State of North Carolina to conserve and protect its natural resources and to create and maintain conditions under which man and nature .can exist in productive harmony. Further it shall be the policy of the State to seek, for all of its citizens, safe, healthful, productive and aesthetically pleasing surroundings; to attain the widest range of beneficial uses of the environment without degradation, risk to health or safety; and to preserve the important historic and cultural elements of our common inheritance." G.S. 113A-3.

Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environment-Water Quality Planning Post Office Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Subject: Application for Section 401 Certification- Western Boulevard Extension Dear Mr. Dorney: Reference is made to the City of Raleigh's application for Section 401 Certification of July 22, 1993 concerning the Extension of Western Boulevard and more specifically to the telephone conversation between you and Samir Bahho of my staff and between you and myself regarding the plant species and plant density included in the landscape plan for the Western Boulevard Extension project along the relocation area of Rocky Branch. The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) previously signed a Memorandum Of Agreement (MOA) for the construction of Western Boulevard Extension. The City of Raleigh is a concurring party to that agreement. The City, in compliance with the MOA, is committed to planting a wide variety of trees and shrubs on the Eastern Extension of Western Boulevard. A Palette of Plants is attached to the MOA as Appendix C and is a part of the MOA. The Palette of Plants will be used as a basis for the city developing, in consultation with SHPO, a final landscape plan and plant materials list which will specify the particular location and types of plant materials chosen for the project. In addition to routine maintenance, the City is committed, according to the MOA, to OFFICES • 222 WEST HARGETT STREET • RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27602 Recycled Paper V it replace, in-kind, any plant materials damaged or lost within three (3) years of installation (see MOA Item 2B, attachment No. 6 submitted with the application for Section 401 Certification). A copy of the Palette of Plants is attached. The Raleigh Historic Districts Commission (RHDC) approved and issued a Certificate of Appropriateness for the Western Boulevard Extension project subject to 13 conditions. Conditions 5 and 6 address the landscape plans. Condition No. 6 reads "That the final landscape plan incorporates replacement of that amount of trees equal to the number removed, providing a wide variety of appropriate species, and locating trees as close as possible to the road as North Carolina Department of Transportation's Guidelines allow". The city is committed to addressing the landscape issue and incorporate the conditions of the COA in the design and construction of the project. (see COA condition 5 and 6, attachment #4 submitted with the application for Section 401 Certification). With the exception of a narrow strip along Rocky Branch, a meadow covers the area south of the creek stretching over to the plain and hill south of the greenway and beyond Dorothea Dix Hospital buildings. During several meetings with Dorothea Dix Hospital officials, they indicated the desire to keep the area directly south of the relocated creek and through the relocated greenway up to the southern edge of the project construction limits open and maintain the meadow landscape there for the health and safety of their patients. The subject of patients attempting to hide their escape was also discussed. The landscape design of the project is still in the conceptual phase. The City, working with the members of Boylan Heights Association and the Dorothea Dix Hospital, will develop a final landscape plan to be submitted for SHPO and RHDC approvals. The final landscape plan will specify plant locations and species. The plans will incorporate replacement of that amount of trees equal to the number removed, providing a wide variety of appropriate species reflecting the City commitment to apply the above stated MOA stipulations and COA conditions to the design and construction of the Western Boulevard Extension project. The City, through a landscape contractor or by alternate means will address landscape maintenance and the issue of three (3) years replacement of damaged or lost plants. Attached to this letter is an aerial photo showing the existing landscape and tree distribution along Rocky Branch and the adjacent areas of Dorothea Dix and Boylan Heights. The plan also shows an overlay of the proposed roadway, relocated creek and greenway. The plan has been prepared to assist you in assessing the City commitment to landscape the project by planting the number of trees equal to the number removed by construction. 4 I hope that the City commitment to landscape the project as stated above will satisfy your requirements of species and density for the purpose of Section 401 Certification. We will be happy to provide you with a copy of the final landscape plan once approved.

FOR SECT. 401 CERTIFICATION ATTACHMENT # 1 CITY OF RALEIGH ROPOSED WESTERN BOULEVARD EXTENSION APPLICATION FOR SECTION 401 CERTIFICATION RESPONSE TO ITEM 12 OF THE APPLICATION (SEE ATTACHMENT' 42) This project involves the construction of the eastern extension of Western Boulevard from west of Hunt Drive to South Blount Street . The Project begins in the vicinity of the Governor Morehead School on existing Western Boulevard, crosses under the existing Southern Railroad Bridge and follows eastwardly along the general alignment of the existing Dorothea Drive and Rocky Branch, a tributary of Walnut Creek. The Project then crosses South Saunders Street, the Dawson/ McDowell Street Connector and connects to South Blount Street at Martin Luther King Jr., Boulevard. Generally, the project in the area of concern will be four traffic lanes with a 30-foot grassed median, 4-foot gutter on the outer sides of the pavement and grassed shoulders. The overall length of the project is 1.45 miles. RESPONSE TO ITEM 13 OF THE APPLICATION (SEE ATTACHMENTS 42,3 AND 13) The Western Boulevard Extension Project was a part of Raleigh's first Thoroughfare Plan in 1959 approved by the City of Raleiah and the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The project was reapproved as a part of Thoroughfare Plan by the City Council in 1967, 1977 and 1987. The proposed extension of Western Boulevard will connect to the second phase of the Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard completed in July 1992. Along with the first section of Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard completed in 1990, the Western Boulevard Extension will provide a continuous east-west traffic facility connecting the residential/commercial developments in the Poole Road area to the east and the Jones Franklin Road/Buck Jones Road area to the west. Implementation of a major uninterrupted east-west transportation corridor from Western Boulevard to Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard is critical to the overall goal of reducing east-west traffic through the Downtown area and Boylan Heiahts neighborhood. For commuters and travelers, the east-west connector will provide for future traffic, improve existing traffic conditions and respond to the demand for travel to and from Downtown Raleigh. 1 of 3 CITY OF RALEIGH PROPOSED WESTERN BOULEVARD EXTENSION APPLICATION FOR SECTION 401 CERTIFICATION The existing corridor handling the east-west traffic flow passes through the interior street system of the Downtown area and Boylan Heights neighborhood and has numerous signalized intersections. Substantial traffic congestion during peak travel periods. and congested flow cause poor air quality. Unsafe, undesirable residential conditions are created by high vehicular traffic volumes and use of a street system originally designed to serve a residential neighborhood. Traffic studies indicate that this corridor capacity must be increased to meet future demands. The Raleigh Thoroughfare Plan, adopted by the City of Raleigh and the State Department of Transportation, included the extension of western Boulevard to address these problems. RESPONSE TO ITEM 14 OF THE APPLICATION (SEE ATTACHMENTS 42,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.11,12 AND 13) The proposed alignment for the Western Boulevard Extension passes through two historic districts. Dix Hill and Boylan Heights. The alignment selection is the end product of an extensive design review and approval process which examined four potential corridors in detail. This process culminated in the selection and approval of a fifth alignment combining characteristics of two of the initial study corridors. The fifth alignment tries to strike a balance and minimize the impact on Rocky Branch as well as the Dix Hill and Boylan Heights Historic districts. The extension of Western Boulevard as presently proposed will require realignment of 2200 linear feet of Rocky Branch. The length of the stream associated with the project is 4500 linear feet. The proposed channel modification is designed with a two-stage channel. The lower or sub-channel provides the thalwea for average stream flow; the upper channel is designed to contain the rainfall estimated to occur once in ten years (10-year storm). The thalwea is designed with meanders and convolutions approximating the existing stream in length and slope. Rock deflectors along the banks of the sub-channel will stabilize the meander location: variations in stream slope will produce riffles and pools. Rock dams (areas where rock is placed across the channel to form small pools) will stabilize and maintain the channel slope. Rip rap stone or other suitable material will be used to stabilize the upper channel side slopes at stream bends and areas where water velocities would encourage erosion. The rip rap, rock dams and rock deflectors will be sized and placed in the stream bed. Vegetation will be planted on both sides of the stream. Trees will be planted adjacent to the upper edge of the stream bank to encourage re-establishment of the tree canopy 2 OF 3 CITY OF RALEIGH PROPOSED WESTERN BOULEVARD EXTENSION APPLICATION FOR SECTION 401 CERTIFICATION along the stream. Native trees such as birch, ash willow, and others will be used to grow quickly to begin this process. These procedures and design parameters are in keeping with the "Guidelines for Stream Relocation" published by the North Carolina Division of Inland Fisheries. It is the intent of these procedures to: (1) provide a modified waterway adequate for a reasonable design rainfall and flood, (2) maintain or improve the stream water quality and (3) develop stream characteristics that are approaching natural conditions and are aesthetically acceptable. The City of Raleigh submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to the Raleigh Historic Districts Commission on August 3, 1992. The commission received information/public testimony and reviewed the application (5 meetings/31 hours) and approved the application with conditions on October 11, 1992. The Raleigh Historic Districts Commission approved a modification of the Certificate of Appropriateness March 1, 1993. The City has reviewed the project design to incorporate the conditions that require changes in design. Provisions will be provided in the contract document to comply with the remaining conditions during the contract execution. The State Historic Preservation office signed a Memorandum of Agreement for the Western Boulevard Extension on July 8,1993. The MOA is in the process of review for approval by the City Council. Both the COA and the MOA address minimizing the impact of the project on Rocky Branch as well as the Boylan Heights and Dix Hill Historic Districts. 3 OF 3 v -3 p•ry a `-J y O - C - P xI f a C t? a' O ? o?

IN REPLY REFER TO Regulatory Branch SUBJECT: CESAW-C091-P-092 Mr. Stewart J. Sykes, P.E. Assistant City Engineer City of Raleigh 292 Worst Hargett Street Raleigh, North Carolina 27602 Dear Mr. Sykes: Thank you for your inquiry of January 16, 1991, regarding Department of the Army authorization for your proposed extension of Western Boulevard from Cabarrus Street to Blount Street, involving the relocation of Rocky Branch above its headwaters, in Raleigh, Wake County, North Carolina. The Corps of Engineers' regulatory jurisdiction, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, manages the placement of excavated or fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands. Such work, including road construction and the placement of fill material to divert a.waterway, must be permitted by Department of the Army authorization before it is begun. Based on the information you have provided and an inspection of the proposed project site by Mr. Eric Alsmeyer of my Raleigh Field Office staff, your current proposal, involving adverse modification to less than an acre of waters and wetlands, may be authorized by a nationwide permit in our regulations (33 CFR 330.5(a)(26)]. However, the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources has determined that the project will have an adverse effect on properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Accordingly, the project must comply with Special Condition (9) of the nationwide permits before the proposed work can proceed under this authorization. This condition requires coordination with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and requires that the agency be afforded the opportunity to comment on the effects of the proposal. It will be necessary for you to prepare draft stipulations for a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), in consultation with the Corps of Engineers and the State Historic Preservation Officer, which will outline mitigative actions for the project (refer to 36 CFR Part 800 for guidance concerning development of the MOA). Upon submittal of the MOA, we will proceed in accordance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 as amended. -2- Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Alsmeyer at telephone (919) 846 8?4?.

Park St. Cary, N.C. 27511 July 2, 1992 Mr. Stewart Sykes, Asst. City Engineer City of Raleigh, Engineering Office P.O. Box 590 Raleigh, N.C. 27602 Dear Mr. Sykes, I am writing to comment specifically on the relocation design for the segments of Rocky Branch in the path of the proposed new portion of Western Boulevard in Boylan Heights and through Dix Hospital grounds. Upon reviewing the plans Tuesday, June 30,1992; I would like to make the following observations. First, the existing branch is covered by approximately 90%-95% plant cover. The upper cover provides shade while the macrophytic community provides filtering functions. Both provide nutrient exchange, and habitat. The relocation design, while it does show some replanting, it does not re-construct the existing conditions. I am concerned about the effects of thermal pollution and the increased light levels in the relocation design. It may render the habitat unsuitable for reproduction and feeding for the organisms that normally inhabit this order of stream and encourage a re-structuring of the community. Secondly, while I have been told that the water quality in Rocky Branch was tested and was deemed to be poor, it seems that this may be due to upstream management practices, and the portion under consideration may be significant in the mitigation of those practices. The terrestrial--aquatic interface, the aquatic surface area, and the flood zone are reduced in the relocation design, and the alteration of filtering mechanisms and habitat may result in loss of important organisms. Thirdly, I am concerned that hydrologic and biologic alterations in this portion of the stream will affect systems downstream. Base and flood flow levels could change, and the impacts need to be quantified. It is possible that an increase in heat and light combined with a re-structuring of the biological community may have an impact on water quality. It is also possible that a change in flow regimes could change the physical parameters of the stream system, which also could affect water quality control mechanisms downstream. To that end, I would ask that the biological and hydrological baseline data, which are the current parameters for the design, be made available for review; that the City of Raleigh consider planning techniques that physically restructure the natural systems, and biological monitoring be performed to insure that the water quality does not suffer any further.

STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATOR Subject: Western Boulevard Extension-Raleigh, NC We have reviewed your memo of March 2, 1992, transmitting Ms. Catherine D. Houghton's letter concerning Western Boulevard. The Western Boulevard project is currently being implemented by the City of Raleigh. It has been a very controversial proposal in the local community and eventually resulted in a city wide referendum on project construction. The referendum supported construction of the project. The City of Raleigh as a municipal government is exempt from both Federal and State laws which require environmental assessment of projects prior to construction. However, within the rather lengthy decision making process, the City of Raleigh has conducted both an engineering study and an environmental and citizen's review'process. These two studies examined both the need for the facility as well as weighed the cost to the social and physical environment. These studies examined'those'areas normally contained in a state environmental document. The results of these studies were shared with the public in a series of fourteen public meetings and were approved for action by the City Council. The City of Raleigh is actively pursuing final construction permits from both the State Historical Officer and the Corps of. Engineers. These permits are required prior to encroachment into the Historic District and through the flood plain area. :The repovto that 4-h-As no An Equal Opportunity /Alfirmalive Action Employer PROPOSED WESTERN BLVD EXTENSION APPL.

As part of ongoing planning efforts, Environmental Services, Inc. was contracted to provide an evaluation of the biological communities along the proposed alignment, with particular attention to wetlands and potential stream relocation impacts. Mr. Jerry McCrain visited the site on January 7, 1990. Resource agency personnel were later contacted to assist with this evaluation and to provide recommendations in an effort to minimize project impacts. I/ DI • I Q ? lill ?s (` l `?._. z.

FIG.1 SITE LOCATION WESTERN BLVD. EXT. WAKE COUNTY ENVIRONMENrrAL &SFRVIC.F.S. INC. t -3- BIOTIC COMMUNITIES Western Boulevard extends through an urbanized area of the city supporting business, institutional and residential development. Plant community patterns are a reflection of present and past land usage with only remnant patches and isolated corridors of natural vegetation remaining. The most dominant feature of the landscape in the immediate area of anticipated impact is Rocky Branch. This small urban tributary meanders along southern limits of Western Boulevard in the vicinity of Central Prison, eventually extending through the Dorothea Dix Hospital property along the route of the proposed alignment. The creek has been heavily modified and previously channelized in places to accommodate surrounding development. However, portions of the stream and adjacent buffer communities have been incorporated into the Capital City Greenway system, resulting in a undisturbed band of greenery and natural features surrounded by urban encroachment. As expected, former floodplain reache$ along the creek have also been modified in response to surrounding land uses and changes in stream configurations. Riparian vegetation is generally restricted to channel embankments and consists of sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), elm (Ulmus americana), box elder (Acer ne4undo), poplar (Liriodendron tuliaifera), red maple (Acer rubrum), sweet gum (Liouidambar stvraciflua), locust (Robinia pseudo-acacia), river birch (Betula ni ra), and a number -4- of oaks (Cuercus spp.) in canopy layers. Privet (LiQustrum sinense) and honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) dominate the understory along with occasional clumps of cane (Arundinaria gigantea). Grasses, pine (Pines taeda), red cedar (Juniperus virainiana) and a number of hardwoods are found in flatlands and along hillsides adjacent to the creek. Stately sweet gum trees on grassy lawns are common along segments of the former floodplain in the Boylan Heights neighborhood. Remaining lands along eastern portions of the proposed corridor have either been subjected to development or exist as successional fields. Undeveloped properties north of Washington Elementary School and in the area of South Wilmington Street (eastern project terminus) support growth of broomsedge (Andropogon sp.), aster (Aster sp.), honeysuckle, blackberry (Rubus sp.), kudzu (Pueraria lobata),',rasses and a number of similar herbaceous species; red maple, black cherry (Prunus serotina), pecan (Carva illinoensis), winged elm (Ulmus alata), and other hardwood specimens are scattered throughout. In spite of the disturbed nature of the area and surrounding urbanization, remaining natural systems - especially along creek corridors - provide the basic components (food, water, protection) to support certain forms of wildlife. Cosmopolitan species such as squirrels, rabbits and raccoons are to be expected along with a host of songbirds. No rare or endangered species are known to exist in the project vicinity. ? -5- WATERCOURSES AND WETLANDS Rocky Branch has been classified as a Class C NSW (nutrient sensitive waters) stream indicating suitability for fish and wildlife propagation, secondary recreation, and other uses requiring waters of lower quality (DEM, 1989). The NSW classification addendum requires that nutrient input be limited in order to reduce further impacts on water quality. The stream is too small to be of fishing significance (Fish, 1968). As previously indicated, the creek and former floodplain communities have been modified in response to surrounding development. Chewacla soils are present in lowlands bordering the creek (USDA, 1970). Although not considered hydric by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service (USDA, 1987), Chewacla soils are often subjected to flooding and exhibit mottling or gleying under certain conditions. However, soil tests- performed during this field assessment failed to support indications of flood frequency in these former bottomlands (10YR 3/4, 4/4 using Munsell Soil color chart) and evidence of hydrological concerns (standing water, flood debris, buttressed tree bases, etc) was lacking. Therefore, wetland parameters are confined to channel limits of Rocky Branch (average width: 15-20 feet). Any fill placement below ordinary high water will require application for a Section 404 permit under the Clean Water Act (33 CFR 320-330) as well as 401 Water Quality Certification from the N.C. Division of Environmental Management. i r? -6- IMPACTS AND PROPOSED'MITIGATION Preliminary plans indicate that approximately 1650 linear feet of the Rocky Branch channel will be relocated in two segments (550 linear feet and 1100 linear feet) in the vicinity of the Boylan Heights-Dorothea Dix Hospital property. In addition, box culverts are proposed at Western Blvd./Dorothea Drive (360 feet), the Boylan Avenue crossing (50 feet) and at South Saunders Street (two culverts, 50 feet each). Although not shown, culvert or pipe placement will be required immediately west of the Dawson-McDowell Connector and in the wooded pocket near the Fayetteville Street-South Wilmington Street Juncture to accomodate runoff along intermittent drainage systems (average width: 5-15 feet). Stream relocation impacts can be mitigated by replacing the creek channel on a tangential alignment and restoring habitat suitability in the replacement system. The relocated stream should be of the same size and functional quality as the existing watercourse in an effort to achieve no net loss of aquatic habitat. Mr. Wayne Jones, District 3 Fisheries Biologist with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) was contacted on January 12, 1990 for recommendations to assist with this rechannelization effort. Mr. Jones recommended use of the WRC publication Guidelines for Mountain Stream Relocations in North Carolina ,a -7- (Wingate et al, 1979).(copy attached). In addition, Mr. Mike Odum, Biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service visited the site on February 14, 1990 to evaluate the project and offer assistance. Highlighted recommendations include: - relocated channels should match the original channel in length, slope and meanders if possible. Channel width and depth should mimic the original. - riprap or other suitable materials should be used to stabilize embankments. Slopes should vary between 1:1 and 2:1. - vegetation should be planted along stream banks after project completion. Recommended species include dogwood, sycamore, oaks, willow, alder and maple. Grasses will assist in early stabilization of the soil. - construction of pools and riffles provide habitat for aquatic organisms. Random boulder placement or stone deflectors can be used for habitat enhancement. all work on relocated stream segments should be completed before water is diverted into it. Culvert placement is not expected to, result in significant additional impacts as long as restrictions are not imposed on water movement. Again, any fill placed below ordinary high water will necessitate permit review by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. r References Cited Division of Environmental Management (DEM).

KOLBERG Raleigh, North Carolina Dear Mr. Sykes: In response to your request and the July 2, 1992 letter from Nancy M. White, additional analysis of the potential impacts of the subject project on Rocky Branch were initiated to reconfinmm (lie findings defined in the biological study by Environmental Services. A summary of these additional analyses as determined by Environmental Services are as follows: Thermal Pollution: Thernmal pollution resulting from the proposed stream modifications associated with Western Boulevard are expected to be minimal. The proposed stream bed is composed of a flood channel and a narrow meandering dialweg with rock riffles and small pools. Literature regarding thermal impacts indicates that as stream widths decrease, canopy needs to keep water temperatures from fluctuating also decrease. In other words, small streams need little riparian growth for protection from thennal increases. Thus, in the segment of relocated Rocky Branch plantings of bushes and low growing shrubs along the new channel would provide a moderation of the potential impacts associated with the loss of canopy. Secondly, in that a major portion of the upstream waterway has been denuded it can be stated that the resident organisms in the stream are expected to have a high tolerance for changes in water quality and otlmer physical parameters. This tolerance reduces the potential for adverse impacts associated with the proposed channel modifications. Downstream degradation of the stream water quality due to loss of upstream canopy is not expected to be significant. The downstream effects (area below proposed stream modification) are contingent upon present downstream conditions, i.e., if downstream areas have sufficient canopy, any upstream derived thermal increase will quickly moderate. Water Quality Rocky Branch is a highly modified system which has been subjected to significant alteration along its entire length. The stream flows through a highly urbanized section of Raleigh and, as a result, water quality suffers. Both upper and lower portions of Rocky Branch have been channelized to accommodate urban expansion. Water quality studies have been conducted by the NC Division of Environmental Management (DEM) on Rocky Branch, as well as along Walnut Creek at the confluence of Rocky Branch below the proposed relocation segment. Analyses of BALTIMORE, MARYLAND NEW CUMBERLAND, PENNSYLVANIA VIRGINIA BEACH, VIRGINIA RICHMOND, VIRGINIA i 1 RUMMEL • KLEPPER & KAHL Mr. Stewart Sykes, PE July 29, 1992 Page 2 changes over time at these locations include biological, chemical, physical, and hydrological data. Stream segments sampled received "poor" and "very poor" bioclassifications. Rocky Branch supports aquatic organisms that thrive under poor water quality conditions. The creek is relatively shallow which limits larger gametish species. Scattered populations of bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), satinfn shiner (No i analostanus), and creek chubsucker (Erimyzon 1 n u) are anticipated. Essentially all of the fish species inhabiting Rocky Branch, as well as reptiles, amphibians, and benthic macroinvertebrates, would necessarily possess high tolerance for fluctuations in dissolved oxygen, temperature, and pH. The design of the proposed base flow and flood channel has been developed to reproduce the existing flow parameters with riffles being developed to provide a potential for improved dissolved oxygen content. Analyses of the flood flow indicates levels similar to those currently anticipated can be expected in the proposed channel. In summary, the biological. and hydraulic analyses completed to date indicate little if any adverse impact on the downstream water quality associated with the proposed channel modification. In fact, through the introduction of controlled flow regimens, it is expected that the existing streani conditions will be regenerated and the water quality may actually by improved. Although this summary lists generalizations, it is the belief of the Environmental Services Inc. biologists, based on limited field survey and literature review, that these findings would be supported by noise detail analysis and field study of the physical stream condition (temperature, dissolved oxygen, fish census, and macroinvertebrate sample). Environmental Services Inc. is prepared to perform such surveys as the City may desire. Please advise if any additional information regarding the stream impacts is needed.

Rummel, Klepper and Kahl Engineers have been retained by the City of Raleigh to prepare planning and environmental studies for this project. Coastal Carolina Research, Inc., has been selected to conduct archaeological investigations of the project area. In consultation with Ms. Dolores Hall of the Office of State Archaeology of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office, it was determined that the archaeological survey should be confined to the area between the railroad line at Central Prison and South Saunders Street. The project area included the 0.5-mile, 150-foot wide corridor for the proposed road and the proposed realignment of the channel of Rocky Branch (Figure 2). This project is being coordinated with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in accordance with the Department of-the Interior's procedures for compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for compliance with Section 106, codified as 36 CFR Part 800. The SHPD requested that this archaeological study be conducted in order to evaluate the project's probable impact upon archaeological resources and to determine if additional measures will be necessary to mitigate the effects of the project upon any significant archaeological sites. The scope of the investigations was consistent with the guidelines issued by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and the Department of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation projects. During the course of the study, no archaeological sites were recorded, and it was determined that the proposed undertaking will not impact archaeological resources on, or eligible for, inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. The survey was conducted on August 16, 1990, and required 2.5 person days to complete. Loretta Lautzenheiser served as principal investigator, assisted in the field and lab by Jody Carter and Jane Eastman. 2 RUZY a y X51 w ? _637 !

Whitehead of Dorothea Dix Hospital; and Mr. Richard Pierce. The assistance of all of these people was extremely valuable and is greatly appreciated. NATURAL SETTING hus_ioaranh Wake County is located in the Piedmont physiographic region. The Piedmont province is the nonmountainous portion of the Older Appalachians and generally slopes from the mountains to the Coastal Plain. Structural control of drainage is usually absent, and the rivers of the Carolinas cross belts of granite, gneiss, schist and slate without change of pattern (Fenneman 1938). The Piedmont Upland is a peneplain in various stages of development and destruction, The typical landscape is a rolling surface of gentle slopes with no great relief, cut by or bounded by deeper valleys with steeper slopes. Tributaries are in deep valleys near the larger streams, but nearer the headwaters they are in shallower valleys (Fenneman 1938). Geoloou and Soils Much of the county is underlain by metamorphic rocks interlayered in north trending belts. A large,. central granitic mass extends east, north and south from Raleigh. Along House Creek.in western Raleigh there is strong evidence of an anticline, termed the Raleigh anticline, with the fold axis passing along a belt of felsic gneiss. The project area is underlain by layered mica gneiss and schist with numerous dikes and sills of granite, pegmatite, and aplite (Parker 1979). Three soil types are found within the project area. The majority,of the survey area is located along Rocky Branch in an area mapped as Chewacla soil. This soil is found on floodplains and is nearly level and somewhat poorly drained. A portion of the relocated channel is found in Wake soil, a somewhat excessively drained soil found on slopes. The relocation of Umstead Drive is located in Cecil sandy loam, a well-drained soil found on narrow side slopes (Cawthorn 1970). 5 The Southern Piedmont soils were severely eroded due to intensive cultivation and poor land management practices. Stanley Trimble C1974) has divided the Piedmont into regions based on the extent of erosion and the time periods of greatest Erosive Land Use CELU). Wake County falls into Region VA, the general farming area of North Carolina. In the period 1775-1810 most of Region VA consisted of yeoman farming areas. Cultivation of cash crops did not generally develop in these regions due to the long distance to market. By 1810 the ELU was increasing and travellers in the region mentioned large tracts of abandoned and eroding land. The area was less affected agriculturally by the Civil War and its aftermath than were the plantation areas. There was a big increase in cotton cultivation after 1860 with a corresponding increase in ELU. In the period 1880-1920 there was a decrease in ELU primarily due to abandonment of farms and transition to forests. The soils in the project area reflect this land use history. In the few upland areas of the survey universe there was little topsoil development and subsoil was at or near the surface. PREHISTORIC BACKGROUND Paleo-Indian Period Prehistoric occupation of North Carolina dates to the Paleo-Indian Period, which is thought to have begun about 12,000 B.C. Evidence of occupation during this period is sparse and is generally noted by fluted projectile points, usually recovered as surface finds. The most important excavated North Carolina site yielding Paleo-Indian components is the Hardaway site, located on the west bank of the Yadkin River in Stanly County. This site is unusual in that it contains stratified deposits including Paleo-Indian materials. Investigations at the Hardaway site form the basis of the Paleo-Indian and Early Archaic sequences for the North Carolina Piedmont as defined by Coe (1964). Later investigations at the Haw River sites in Chatham County (Claggett and Cable 1982) reconfirm the cultural-temporal framework. The subsistence pattern during this time is assumed to have been a hunting and gathering lifestyle. Recent work at the Hardaway site has focused on attempts to retrieve subsistence data to obtain a more complete view of Paleo- Indian lifeways CWard 1983). The Late Paleo-Indian Palmer phase is typified by a small corner-notched hafted biface with a straight, ground 6 base and pronounced serrations. The use of hafted and scrapers increased during this period (Coe 1964). Archaic Period The Archaic Period CBOOO-1000 BC) was apparently a time of climatic change. A shift from boreal forests to northern hardwoods occurred around the time of the Early Archaic Period C8000-5000 BC). In the early Holocene, a cool, moist climate prompted the expansion of species-rich Mixed Hardwood Forests in the Eastern United States. During this Hypsithermal, the Oak-Chestnut Forest became dominant in the central and southern Appalachians, oak and hickory were replaced by southern pine on the Coastal Plain, and the Oak- Hickory-Southern Pine Forest covered the Piedmont CDelcourt and Delcourt 1981, 1985). These changes were probably accompanied by an increase in population, as seen in the greater number of sites with Archaic components CCable 1980). The Early Archaic Period is characterized by the Kirk projectile point. During this period the points increased in size and basal grinding declined. A broad-stemmed, deeply serrated point gradually replaced the earlier corner-notched style. It is generally thought that in the Archaic Period there was a continuation of the hunting and gathering lifestyle, with a possible-seasonal round of movement between base camps and hunting camps. The depth of the Kirk midden at the Hardaway site indicates a long-term occupation (Coe 1964). The Middle Archaic Stanly Phase appears to have developed out of the preceding phases (Coe 196'x, Phelps 1983). The major difference in the artifact assemblage seems to be the appearance of polished stone atlatl weights. The Morrow Mountain and Guilford phases appear during the Middle Archaic CSOOO-3000 BC). These phases have been ' referred to by Coe (1954) as the western intrusive horizons. The Morrow Mountain projectile point type is a relatively small point with short, tapering stems. The analysis of the material from the Haw River sites CClaggett and Cable 1982) suggests that the Morrow Mountain type points may represent the continuance of the stemmed-point tradition. The Guilford phase, characterized by a long, lanceolate point and chipped stone axes, has no apparent cultural antecedents in the region. The artifacts are very widespread throughout the Piedmont of North Carolina CCoe 1964). The Halifax phase was identified from the Gaston site on the Roanoke River (Coe 1964) and did not appear at the Hardaway or Doerschuk sites. At the Gaston site the Halifax zone overlay the Guilford material. One projectile point 7 with Halifax characteristics was recovered from a stratigraphic context at Haw River CClaggett and Cable 1982). The terminal Archaic is the Savannah River phase C3000- 1000 BC). During this period there is evidence of larger sites containing steatite bowls, human burials, and prepared hearths, which suggests a more settled lifestyle CWard 1983). The Savannah River projectile point is a large,.heavy, triangular blade with a broad stem (Coe 1964). Period During the Woodland Period (1000 BC-AD 1700), the beginnings of regional differences are noted. The introduction of the bow and arrow and ceramic manufacture defines the beginning of the Early Woodland (1000-300 BC). Other Woodland traits common to Eastern North America, such as cultivation of plants and construction of mounds, appear later in Piedmont North Carolina. Cultivation of maize probably dates to around All 1000, and the burial mound complex was essentially absent from the northern Piedmont CHargrove at al. 1986). The earliest expression of the Woodland Tradition in the Piedmont is the Badin culture, more common in the southern Piedmont. It is characterized by a hard, sandy ceramic ware and large, crude triangular projectile points. The differences between the southern and northern Piedmont traditions became more pronounced through time, and there is increasing diversity in the ceramic materials by the Late Woodland CWard 1983). The Middle Woodland Yadkin phase was also defined from the Doerschuk site. The ceramics appear to have evolved from the previous Badin type. The temper changed to a crushed quartz which, in some cases, constituted 30 to 40 percent of the paste. The surface finishes were cord-marked or fabric- impressed. During this phase influences from the southern coastal region first appear (Coe 1964). The projectile point type was the Yadkin Large Triangular point, differing from the previous Badin style in that it was better made. The Late Woodland Uwharrie projectile point type is a small, slender triangle. I•n the sample of 10LI Uwharrie points recovered from the Donnaha site in northern Yadkin County, 98 percent were manufactured of felsite (Woodall 1984). The Uwharrie ceramic series is marked by abundant fragments of crushed quartz temper. Portions of a Uwharrie vessel, recovered from a feature at the Donnaha site, were found in association with charcoal fragments which provided a C-1q date of A.D. lg80 (Woodall 1984). 8 The earliest ceramics recovered from the Gaston site in Halifax County, which represent the northern Piedmont types, (Coe 1964) were tempered with very fine sand with cord- or fabric-marked surface finishes. The type was named Vincent. The Vincent occupation at the Gaston site began around A.D. 500. The Middle Woodland Clements phase developed out of the preceding Vincent phase in the north Piedmont and is thought to have been in place by A.D. 1200 (Coe 1964). The well-made ceramics were tempered with large amounts of river sand and were considerably thinner than the Vincent wares. The cord used to mark the surface was much finer. Coe (196'1) noted the presence of Gaston ceramics at the Gaston site. This ware was different than the preceding Clements type and appeared to be an abrupt change. Primarily simple stamped, the pottery was distinguished by its crushed quartz temper. The texture was porous, granular and rough, with temper particles frequently showing on the surface of the vessel. Phelps C1983) equates Gaston simple stamped with Cashie ware, the ceramics used by the prehistoric Tuscarora. The Dan River ceramics apparently developed out of the preceding Uwharrie phase (Coe 1964). The Dan River wares may contain both crushed quartz and river sand inclusions. At the Donnaha site, the proportion of quartz to sand changed through time. At the lower part of the midden most sherds contained some quartz; however, in the upper part of the midden, most sherds contain only sand inclusions (Woodall 1981f). Protohistoric Period Extensive archaeological investigation of a protohistoric and historic aboriginal site on the Eno River near Hillsborough has been undertaken in the last several years by the Research Laboratories of Archaeology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Ward and Davis 1987). Their research indicates that introduced animals or plants were not important in the Occaneechi diet. The population, however, was apparently less healthy than pre- contact peoples, and disease had apparently taken a toll on the native population. Additional research on sites from the Haw, Dan and Eno rivers (Eastman 1990) indicates that during the first decades of trade era lithic assemblages were.similar to late prehistoric and protohistoric assemblages except that they contained a higher frequency of projectile points. This appears to be associated with an increase in hunting and warfare during the middle of the seventeenth century. With the incorporation of metal tools and European weapons during the last quarter of the seventeenth century the 9 production of stone projectile points declined sharply, as did the use of stone flakes for expedient tools. HISTORIC BACKGROUND Ear rlu Exploration and Settlement One of the earliest explorers of present-day Wake County was John Lawson, an Englishman who had been appointed by the Lords Proprietors to make a reconnaissance survey of the interior of Carolina. On December 28, 1700, Lawson's party left Charleston, South Carolina and followed the rivers and Indian trails through the Carolina interior. The party split up on February 8, at Keyauwee Town, with most going directly to Virginia. Lawson's party continued east across the Carolina Piedmont heading for the coast. They traveled from Adshusheer, north of present-day Durham, to the Neuse River where they crossed at the Falls. Lawson referred to the country through which they were passing as the "Flower of Carolina" CLawson 1967). Settlement of the interior of the colony did not begin until after the Tuscarora War, 1711-1714, and the removal of the Tuscarora to reservations. During the term of Governor Burrington, 1724-1729, the construction of roads and harbors also stimulated immigration (Lefler and Newsome 1963). In 1729 the Lords Proprietors, excluding Lord Carteret, sold their interest in the Carolinas to the crown. Between 1729 and 1746 all recorded land grants in present-day Wake County were received through the royal governors. The few known grants were large tracts generally made to eastern planters who did not themselves settle the land. After 1746 all the remaining ungranted land in the county was the former Cartrtet share which belonged to the Earl of Granville (Murray 1983). To deal with the influx of settlers, the legislature 'created five new counties in 1786, one of which was Johnston County. Wake was created from Johnston in 1771 and 17 years later the General Assembly voted to establish a permanent state capitol in Wake County. In 1792 Joel Lane's plantation was chosen as the site for the town of Raleigh (Lefler and Newsome 1963). Plantations, such as Spring Hill, the home of Theopholis Hunter, and the adjoining plantation of William Grimes, surrounded the new capitol city CHargrove 1987). Both of these plantations eventually became part of Dix Hill. In 1848, Dorothea Dix, an advocate of humane care of the insane, visited Raleigh and lobbied for the erection of a state mental hospital. While her first efforts to persuade 10 the Legislature Were not successful, in 1849 the First appropriations were made, and work started on the Facility in May, 1850. The site, chosen by Miss Dix, was named Dix Hill in her honor (anonymous n.d.), and was located on a hill south of the capital above Rocky Branch. The main, or Center Building, was designed by Alexander Jackson Davis, a nationally prominent architect. Davis' building, completed in 1856, was a three-story structure 726 feet long (Little 1990). The first permanent superintendent, Dr. Edward Fisher, counter-ceilinged the floors placing several inches of sand between the floors to sound-proof and fire-proof the building. Fortifications around the city of Raleigh, including Dix Hill, had been constructed after the outbreak of the Civil War. The Fortifications were never used, and it was not until the closing days of the war that Raleigh became part of the military front. Soon after Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865, the Confederate defenders retreated from Raleigh in advance of Sherman's occupying army. On April 13, the City Commission and other citizens surrendered Raleigh (Murray 1983). The entire Union Army 20th Corps camped on the grounds of Dix Hill and Spring Hill.plantation. The mayor encampment was on the hospital grounds where 17,000 men set up a camp. The camp extended from Rocky Branch southeast across Rhamkatte Road and outside the southern line of Raleigh's Fortifications. Wilson Dixon, of the 1st Missouri Engineers, left his name carved on a large rock beside Rocky Branch near Dix Hill (Murray 1983). After the war the hospital was enlarged and improvements continued into the twentieth century. The early maps all indicate that the area along Rocky Branch, known as The Meadow (Richard Pierce personal communication) was undeveloped except for a gazebo. In 1885 a new entrance was built on Rhamkatte Road (South Saunders Street) and in 1891 there were requests for funds to control surface water. In 1893 funds were requested to remove the "unsightly promontory of rocks and other irregularities in the land near the entrance to the asylum grounds" (Little 1990:7). A new bridge across Rocky Branch was built between 1895 and 1897 and the patients cut down and graded the hill near the new bridge. A second entrance, also across Rocky Branch, was built in.1920 from the new residential suburb of Boylan Heights. A rustic gatekeeper's cottage was built at that time, and a two-story stone house was built opposite it during the early 1920s (Little 1990). The new entrance was designed to tie the hospital to the Boylan Heights suburb which had been planned in 1907. The 11 community was built on a wooded site which had been part of the William Boylan estate. The Boylan mansion, built in 1858, had originally been part of the.Joel Lane plantation, part of which had been sold to the state as the location of the state capital (Brown 1984). METHODOLOGY AND SURVEY RESULTS The site files at the Office of State Archaeology were examined, and all previously recorded sites in the project area were noted on the project maps. The information on the site forms was also recorded. Additional research was conducted at the North Carolina State Library of the Division of Archives and History, Survey and Planning Branch of the Division of Archives and History, Joyner Library at East Carolina University, Edgecombe County Memorial Library and the Interlibrary Loan Network, and Dorothea Dix Hospital. The survey was conducted on August 16, 1990 and required 2.5 person days. Shovel tests were required in.all of the survey area due to the lack of surface visibility. The tests were usually 30 x 30 cm and were excavated into the subsoil or sterile soil. Fill from the tests was screened through 0.25-inch mesh screen. The shovel tests on the floodplain of Rocky Branch were tested with a core sampler to determine if buried soil horizons were present. Survey intervals were determined by the locations of standing structures on the north side of Rocky.Branch, but 12 tests were placed on the north side of the creek. A total of 17 tests were located in the Meadow, the floodplain on the south side of Rocky Branch. These tests were located 10 meters apart and all were core sampled. Two additional tests were located on the knoll for the proposed relocation of Umstead Dr. All of the tests were negative. Information provided by Richard Pierce, who grew up on the hospital grounds, indicated that an unmarked cemetery was located on the grounds. This information was verified by a former employee of the hospital. A visit was made to the cemetery's location which proved to be well outside the proposed roadway. The location of the burials was provided to the hospital personnel. Mr. Pierce also indicated that, as children, they had not been allowed to play in the Meadow for fear they would fall into the holes of "sunken graves". Because of the suspected presence of additional unmarked burials, the survey interval on the floodplain was maintained at 10 meters. Mr. Manly Fishel, Administrator, and Mr. W. E. Whitehead, chief of Hospital police, called retired employees of the hospital but no one else was aware of the suspected burials. •papuawwooai ST xsOm TOOTBOT08E4038 TeuOTgtppe ON 'uOTgonsgsuao pasodoid eyq fiq pegoegje eq TTTm saosTd DTZ04STH 30 J84STBBH TeuoT42N 844 UT UOTsnTOuT 103 BTgTBTTB so uo saosnosas TBOTBOToasyosE ou geyq sapnTOUOO MGA3ns ayl -sagTS se papsooas goU asam PUB Usapow asam Megl •swep ygTm pageTOOsse seadde you pTp pue sedTd s03 sgsoddns uaaq 8neq Oq paseadde aseyl •segeB eouesque eyq wosj weasgsdn paq Naeso eyg uT p84800T asam sTTTs 848sOuOO Oml 'pagou sem NOOS 84q gO 8auepTn9 ON •uoxTQ uOsTTM fiq panseo Uaeq pey yOTgm NOOS 8y4 84eoOT og gdwaqge Ue UT pagoadSUT sem Ease goerosd 844 uTygTm N88JO ayg 30 UOTgsod 83Tqua ayl •xueq eqq uo peOETd ueaq peq TTT3 UOTgonsgsuon `gdwegge UOT4BOOT8.2 aqg fiq p84ES8TBD0e uaaq pey yOTym UOTSOSa xusq eyq Tosguoo oq sapso ui •Nueq ygnos eqq oq aBewep uT p84Tnses yoTym Tsuuegm wee34s eyq 84e0OT8s Oq gdwaqge snOTnasd a BuTusaouom `sanamoy `pauTBB sem UOTgBwsoguI ZT 13 REFERENCES CITED Anonymous n.d.

PROJECT: Archaeological Survey of Western Blvd From the Railroad east to South Saunders Street, Raleigh, Wake County. DATE: July 2, 1990 Coastal Carolina Research, Inc. proposes to perform the following archaeological services for Rummel, Klepper and Kahl in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for compliance with Section 106, codified as 36 CFR Part 800. The scope of investigations will be consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation. 2. Background review of the previously recorded sites in the project area and review of previous archaeological research performed in the project vicinity will be conducted. Background research of the prehistoric period will be combined with the previous research to assess the potential for locating prehistoric sites, and the potential for the types of sites likely to be.found. Historic background research will be conducted to assess the potential for encountering sites from the historic period, and the types of sites likely to be encountered. 2. The Project Area is defined as a 0.5 mile, 150-foot wide corridor extending from the railroad tracks east to South Saunders St. in Raleigh, Wake County. The survey also includes the areas proposed for the channel realignments of Rocky Branch. 3. Intensive survey and appropriate testing to locate the presence of archaeological sites in the Project Area will be conducted. Subsurface testing will be employed in areas of low surface visibility, with shovel tests generally on a 30 meter transept, depending on the land form. Even in areas of low visibility, areas such as roadcuts, streambanks, erosional gullies and other areas with surface exposure will be sought out to maximize coverage. Areas of steep slope will be inspected but will-not be intensively surveyed, and streams will be examined for remains of water powered mills. Severely disturbed and developed areas will not be surveyed. Core samples will be made in the floodplain of Rocky Branch. 4. It is understood that the level of testing in the project area will be sufficient to locate the archaeological sites which can be detected by the above methods. Sites will be evaluated for eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places. In the event that sites containing 18 intact deposits information are be necessary to eligibility for This additional current proposa or which appear to contain significant found, a more intensive testing program may evaluate these resources and their the National Register of Historic Places. testing program is not included in the 1. 5. All archaeological sites located during the survey will be given a permanent state site number obtained from the Office of State Archaeology, and the state site forms will be prepared and submitted to the Office of State Archaeology. The curation of the artifacts will be at the Office of State Archaeology or another acceptable repository. The proposed fee for curation of artifacts is $75.00 per cubic foot, and a minimum fee has been included in the budget. S.

Mickey and H. M. Ratledge DIVISION OF INLAND FISHERIES NORTH CAROLINA WILDLIFE RESOURCES COMMISSION MARCH 1979 INTRODUCTION Relocations of North Carolina's mountain trout streams traditionally have been a routine practice during road constriction. This practice. has been extremely destructive to the state's fishery, wild- life and recreational resources, because proper environmental consideration was not given to these values during project designs. These values, however, must be included in future stream relocation decisions. It is recognized that some stream relocation is unavoidable, but damage to the stream and its associated riparian vegetation can be mitigated with careful planning. Studies have shown that fish and wildlife resources can be maintained and even enhanced over those existing in the original channel, if careful planning and certain design criteria are utilized in relocating stream sections. The following criteria constitute the recommendations of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and are based on reviews of pertinent literature, field experience and consultation with representatives of appropriate state and federal agencies. This report presents standard guidelines for stream relocations which will facilitate road project reviews by the North Carolina Wildlife Re- sources Commission and assist engineers in designing projects. - These guidelines only cover normal relocation projects. Those projects which have unavoid- able engineering problems, or involve highly productive or important trout waters will require special review and recommendations by trained fishery biologists. To identify the proper person for consul- tation, contact the Division of Inland Fisheries, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611, phone 919-733-3633. N ,ri -2- V GUIDELINES FOR MOUNTAIN STREAM RELOCATIONS 1. Relocated channels should match original channel in length, slope and meanders unless topographic restraints preclude this construction: 2. Relocated channel width and depth may vary as did the old channel, but the new channel width (average) should be no_rpore than 1 1/3 times the old channel width (average). ' 3. Banks of the relocated stream should have a slope that varies between 1:1 and 2:1 unless impos- sible because of topographic restraints (vertical cuts, exposed bedrock or unstable soil types). 4. Riprap, or other suitable materials, should be used to stabilize relocated stream banks to the ten- year flood level, or the top, whichever Is lower. The upper portion of the bank should be covered with topsoil suitable for growing grass. 5. Vegetation will be planted on both sides of the stream according to standard landscape procedures unless this is prevented by topographic problems.( verlica I cuts or exposed bedrock). a. Grasses and forbs will be seeded on the upper portion of the riprapped bank and on a buffer strip beyond the bank for a distance of 7-15 in (25-50 A.). Recommended plants are fescue (Kentucky 31), red fescue. sericea lespedeza, shrub lespedeza, timothy. crown-vetch. Reed canary grass or other acceptable plants. b. Shrubs will be planted on ilia stream bank (in the riprap) and/or near the top edge of the bank. Recommended shrubs include rhododendron, autumn olive and tag alder. c. Trees should be planted adjacent to the upper edge of the stream bank. Trees to be utilized are purple osier willow, dogwood, river birch, sycamore, black or yellow locust, serviceberry, hemlock, maple, oak and hickory. Dogwood and/or willow should be planted. when feasible, in the same area as the shrubs. e. State right-of-way should extend a minimum of five stream widths beyond ilia top of each stream bank or to a maximum of 15 in (50 ft.), in order to protect the stream from bordering development. 7. Fences will be installed on the state's right-of-way line to prevent cattle from grazing on the trees and shrubs in places other than established livestock watering areas. 8. Fence crossings for fishermen access will be constructed where fences exist between the road and the stream. These crossings should be a maximum of 275 m 1300 yds.) apart. 9. Narking areas should be provided near the fence crossings to allow for angler access to the stream sections. 10. Sireambeds, of tributaries entering an altered section, will Ix: contiguous with those of the main run and will be sloped so as not to impede the upstream movement of fish. This slope should not ex- ceed five percent unless an exception is approved by the Nurih Carolina Wildlife Resources Com- mission. I' s I I M ,.. ..y . } f c. -3- .. I1. If gravel,.rubble, or bedrock is not present in the new stream channel, a suitable substrate will be provided. The following mixture of atone will serve as guidelines for this substrate and should be at least .5 m (1.5 ft.) deep. 25% - Coarse rubble - 15-30 cm diam (6-12 in.) 25% - Fine rubble - 7.5-15 cm diem (3.6 in.) 25% - Coarse gravel - 2.5-7.5 cm diem (1-3 in.) 25% - Fine gravel - 0.3-2.5 cm diam (0.12-1 in.) 12. Culverts or stream crossings should be designed to facilitate passage of fish during normal water flows.. Bridges are the preferred type of structures for stream crossings followed by open-bottomed box culverts, countersunk corrugated pipe and countersunk box culverts (Lauman 1976). These types of structures should be located in a manner to insure that the following conditions are satisfied: a. No sudden change in stream velocity will occur above, below. or in the structure. b. No structure is to be located on a curve in the stream. c. Structures must be designed to fit the stream, not the stream designed to fit the structure (Lauman 1076). In culverts longer than 45 in (150 ft.), the average eater velocity at normal flow should not exceed 0.6 m/sec (2 ft./sec.) (Lauman 19761. In all culverts 'containing an artificial substrate, the bot- tom should be as rough as possible. Culvert size should be large enough to prevent pooling at the upstream end. All culverts will be designed so that the entrance and exit from them is even with or below the natural streambed. Countersunk structures should have their bases 0.5 m (1.5 ft.) be- low the streambed. Regular maintenance may be needed to keep the culverts clean. 13. All work on a relocated stream will be completed before water is diverted into it. 14. Any relocated stream section less than 30 in (100 ft.) in length will contain only random boulder placement as an insiream structure. 1 15. lustruain structures will be used for environmental and habitat enhancement. Recommended structures for implementation are as follows: 1 a. Boulders: 1. Will be randumly plucud in thalweg (main channel) Fig. 4. 2. Will be angular and oblong. ?t 3. The long axis will be 1/3 of the stream width or 1.5 m 15 ft.l, whichever is smaller. b. Low water rock dams: 1- Will be designed to have an upstream arch (Figure 1A). 2. Rucks .5-1 m (1.5-3 ft.) in diameter will be buried a minimum of 0.3 m (1 ft.) in the eln:amhed. 3. Will be designed to have the top of the large rocks 0.3-0.0 m (1-2 ft.) above normal water level and sloping down to a maximum height of 0.2-0.5 m (.5-1.5 ft.) ut the center of the dam (Figure IB). 4. Will utilize two or more rows of rocks to install this device with the upstream ruw consisting of smaller rocks (Figure 10. 5. All rocks in the dam should be keyed (hand-placed) to each other to increase sluhility. 0. Each end of the dam should be contiguous with the bank riprap (Figure 113). c. Stone and rock defluctara: 1 - Will he used in relocated stream sections greater than 30 m (100 ft.) in length. 2. Will he shaped in a 30-00-00 degree trianglo with the 30 degree angle to be up- stream and against the bunk (Figure 2A). In cases where there is less than five stream widths between the double wing and single wing deflectors, eliminate the lust single wing deflector. 3. Stone and ruck will be a minimum of 0.5 m (1.5 ft.) in diameter, while in larger channels, rock up to 1.5 m (5 ft.) in diameter may be appropriate. 4. Stone and rock in the deflectors will be dug into the stream bottom a minimum of 0.3 m (1 ft.). 5. Top of rocks in the deflectors (near bank) will be approximately 0.3 m (1 ft.) . above thn normal stream flow and sloped to 0.2 m (.5 ft.l at the apex of the deflectors. (Figure 2111. 6. Sump: and rock in deflectors will be contiguous with the bank riprap. (Fig- ure 2A1. 7. Deflectors will be located five stream widths apart. All measurements will start ut the downstream end of the relocated stream. r r T 1 f 1 f f f r P f f T C P •5- a. Deflectors: I a. Single wing - The single wing deflector will extend one-half of the way across the stream (Figure 2A). b. Double wing - The double wing deflector will extend one-quarter of the way across the stream, will be opposite each other and the narrowest point between the deflectors will be one-half of the stream width (Fig- ure 31. c. Deflector pattern - The first and last deflector in a relocated channel will be a double wing, with the general pattern to be double wing, single wing, single wing, double wing, single wing. etc. Placement of de- flectors in a meandering stream will follow the pattern as depicted in Figure 4. (Note: Deflectors are not to be placed on outside curves.) The method of implementing these structures is shown in Table 1. 1• 1 co Vu b Y m u 0 c 0 Ny F u a E m ti c e o ? c c ? E I 0.

Governor September 25, 1989 The Honorable Avery Upchurch Mayor, City of Raleigh Post Office Box 590 Raleigh, North Carolina 27602 Dear Mayor Upchurch, David "I". I:lahcrt\,. Sccrcran I appreciate your visit with me to discuss the city's plans to extend Western Boulevard. The alternative A-5 appears to address the critical issues that the Department has in the area of patient safety and preservation of the hospital's grounds and appearance. Al.thottgh I am not addressing the need for the extension, the Department is prepared to recommend access to the property controlled by the Department of Human Resources for that area necessary to construct Alternativ(e-?/AS. When the city is ready to begin construction please anise me and I will make the property available to the state property office for appropriate disposition. I commend you and your staff in providing the many options to review and your willingness to take our concerns into consideration. If you have any questions please let me know. S ince ly David T.

ATTACHMENT # 13 WESTERN BOULEVARD EXTENSION INFORMATION Traffic Pattern Changes within the Boylan Heights Historic District The construction of the Western Boulevard Extension will result in major traffic reductions on most streets within the Boylan Heights Historic District (see Figure 1), particularly along Cabarrus, Lenoir and South Streets, as well as Dorothea Drive. Except for most of Cabarrus, these streets are currently operating as one-way streets with restricted on-street parking. After the boulevard's construction, Cabarrus Street will no longer connect to Western Boulevard and traffic movements will be restricted at the Boylan Avenue connection As a result, practically all through traffic (i.e., traffic with destinations more than a 1/4 mile away from the district) will shift to the new boulevard. However. some local traffic movements (e.g., with destinations in the immediate proximity, such as along the northern part of South Saunders Street and along Boylan Avenue south of Hillsborough Street) will remain on the existing street system. Once traffic is shifted to the new roadway --- and with the support of the Boylan Heights neighborhood's residents --- all one-way streets may be converted back to two- way operations within the Historic District, if objectionable cut-through traffic patterns would not result. On-street parking may be restored wherever sufficient pavement width permits. Because the changes involved could be accomplished quickly and at relatively low cost, it would be desirable to wait until after the traffic pattern changes had stabilized to ascertain appropriate street operation modifications. The City staff has no objections to restoring two-way traffic and on-street parking on these streets. Future Traffic Current traffic forecasts (see Figure 2) anticipate more than 36,000 vehicles per day using the Western Boulevard Extension by the year 2010 (roughly twice the traffic currently traveling through the Boylan Heights Historic District). These forecasts are derived from current projections of future land use which anticipate continued urban growth in downtown Raleigh and in the N. C. State University / Centennial Campus Area (already two of the six largest employment centers in the Research Triangle region). As this urban growth occurs, increased travel to, from, and between these two nearby areas is expected. Western Boulevard traffic is now, and will continue to be, almost exclusively made up of these relatively short trips of which one or both ends occur inside the Beltline. Long distance travel (i.e., trips with origins and destinations outside the Beltline) will continue to use the Beltline. 40? WESTERN BOULEVARD EXTENSION INFORMATION (Cont.) 9/10/92 Page 2 The completion of the entire Western Boulevard / Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard will create a second continuous east-west street corridor serving the entire area inside the Beldine. This will provide traffic relief to the heavily-traveled Hillsborough /Morgan / New Bern corridor while improving air quality in central Raleigh because traffic flows along the boulevard will be smoother, with less stops and starts. Less congestion will also reduce the frequency and severity of traffic accidents as well. NCSU's Centennial Campus In 1986, approximately 800 acres of land was transferred from the Dorothea Dix Hospital Campus to N. C. State University. In May of 1986, the NCSU Board of Trustees approved a master plan concept for the development of this property, to be known as Centennial Campus (see Figure 3). After nearly two years of study, the Raleigh City Council gave final approval to the conditional-use rezoning of the Centennial Campus property on August 3, 1988. The conditions of this rezoning permit up to 11.9 million square feet of total floor area in a variety of uses including academic, corporate, commercial and residential. Upon buildout (estimated to take forty to sixty years), Centennial Campus would have a daytime population of around thirty thousand people while providing housing for about ten thousand people. The campus is to be developed in four phases, with a separate master plan to be approved by the City for each phase. Phase I has been already been approved, allowing approximately 3.1 million square feet of total floor area to be constructed. Of this amount approximately 523,000 square feet has been completed or approved for construction to date. Actual progress on the development of Centennial Campus has been slower than originally anticipated; however, the City's approval of the rezoning and NCSU's continued commitment to the concept's realization remain in place. As such, plans for infrastructure to support Centennial Campus, of which the extension of Western Boulevard is one of several parts, remain appropriate. d.Mot\projKwb1v&4iistdst1.doc _r VIA3j\ It ?
