Project Description: NCDOT proposes to install three 1.25" diameter conduits containing broadband fiber optic cable in the right-of-way of the 280-mile US 74 corridor from 1-140 near Wilmington to 1-40 in Asheville. Broadband fiber will be coupled with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) equipment to provide variable message signs along US 74 and to implement integrated corridor management. Counties served along US 74 are: Brunswick, Columbus, Robeson, Scotland, Richmond, Anson, Union, Mecklenburg, Gaston, Cleveland, Rutherford, Polk, Henderson, and Buncombe. B. Description of Need and Purpose: The project purpose is to enable the utilization of various ITS mechanisms throughout the proposed corridor, resulting in improved efficiency and safety metrics. The identified needs include: • enhance mobility and safety along US 74 when severe crashes occur • maxintize innovation opportunities by allowing private sector to have access to the trunk line • provide high speed internet access opportunities to underserved communities, thereby closing the internet service gap between urban and rural households along the US 74 corridor • allow for the future integration of connected and autonomous vehicles. C. Categorical Exclusion Action Classification: Type I(A) - Ground Disturbing Action D. Proposed Improvements: #2) Approval of all utility installations along or across a transportation facility. #21) Deployment of electronics, photonics, communications, or information processing used singly or in combination, or as components of a fully integrated system, to improve the efficiency or safety of a surface transportation system or to enhance security or passenger convivence. Examples include, but are not limited to ... dynamic message signs, and security equipment including surveillance and detection cameras on roadways and in transit facilities and on buses. #22) Projects, as defined in 23 U.S.C. 101, which would take place entirely within the existing operational right-of-way.... Portion of the right-of-way that have not been disturbed or that are not maintained for transportation purposes are not in the existing operation right -of way. E. Special Proiect Information: This is an FHWA INFRA Grant project awarded to the NCDOT to install broadband fiber along US 74 that is to be completed by December 2026. Traffic control requirements will be minimal due to the location of the broadband fiber in the shoulder (within existing right-of-way). v2019.1 HO-0002 A, B & C Type I(A) CE Page 1 F.

Additional Documentation as Required from Section F (ONLY for questions marked 'Yes'): #8. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has revised the previous programmatic biological opinion (PBO) in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and NCDOT for the northern long-eared bat (NLEB) (Myotis septentrionalis) in eastern North Carolina. The PBO covers the entire NCDOT program in Divisions 1-8, including all NCDOT projects and activities. Although this programmatic covers Divisions 1-8, NLEBs are currently only known in 19 counties, but may potentially occur in 11 additional counties within Divisions 1-8. NCDOT, FHWA, and USAGE have agreed to two conservation measures which will avoid/minimize mortality of LEBs. These conservation measures only apply to the 3current known/potential counties shown on Figure 2 of the PBO at this time. The programmatic determination for NLEB for the NCDOT program is May Affect, Likely to Adversely Affect. The PBO provides incidental take coverage for NLEB and will ensure compliance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for ten years for all NCDOT projects with a federal nexus in Divisions 1-8, which includes Brunswick, Columbus, Robeson, Scotland and Richmond Counties which is where US 74 is located. This level of incidental take is authorized from the effective date of a final listing determination through December 31, 2030. Federally protected species surveys and data collection is still pending for: wood stork, bald eagle, red -cockaded woodpecker, Northern long-eared bat in Divisions 9-14, Indiana bat, gray bat, and white irisette. Biological conclusions for these species are unresolved. #9. The project corridor crosses waters identified as Anadromous Fish Spawning Areas by the North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission and Wildlife Resources Commission. In these areas impacts will be minimized with the use of directional bore or attachment to the existing spanning structures. No in -water work is anticipated at these crossings. #10. The project crosses the Catawba River which is designated as Critical Area. The Catawba River is subject to the Catawba River Buffer Rules. Impacts will be minimized with the use of directional bore or attachment to existing spanning structures. The project will cross two 303(d) streams listed for turbidity: Brown Creek—13-20b (Anson County) and First Broad River — 9-50-(28) (Cleveland County). Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds will be required for these crossings. #11. The project corridor crosses waters identified as mountain trout streams by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. In these areas impacts will be minimized with the use of directional bore or attachment to the existing spanning structures. No in -water work is anticipated at these crossings. #19. US 74 crosses a section of the Lumber River designated as Wild & Scenic (federal) and Natural & Scenic (state) near Boardman. Broadband conduit will be attached to the existing upstream structure over the Lumber River, above the low chord elevation. No impact to the free -flowing condition or the recreational attributes as defined under either the national Wild and Scenic Rivers designation or the water flow, public access, or environmental quality of the NC Natural and Scenic Rivers Program will occur. Broadband conduit will be placed entirely within existing NCDOT right of way and no additional easement will be required. v2019.1 HO-0002 A, 8 & C Type I(A) CE Page 4 H.

In the case of the directional bores, the bore sites will start at least 50-feet from the edge of each bank. Erosion control measures entailed in the NCDOT "Design Standards for Sensitive Watersheds" will be employed in these areas. For ISRs that will have the conduit attached to the structure, a vegetated buffer will be maintained between the area where the plowing transitions to the attachments to structure and the adjacent top of bank waterbody. Stringent erosion control measures consistent with the above -mentioned design standards will be employed at these sites. NCDOT Construction Staff - Cultural Resources No construction activities or staging should occur within any of the NRHP boundaries or potential NRHP eligible tax parcels depicted in the HO-0002A, B & C historic architecture and archaeology screening memos. Impacts within any NRHP boundary shall require consultation with SHPO and FHWA to determine the effects of the impacts to the historic property. Impacts to any potential NRHP eligible tax parcel noted in the screening memos shall require coordination with SHPO and FHWA to determine the need for further evaluation to determine eligibility of the resource. If the parcel is determined eligible for the NRHP, consultation with SHPO and FHWA shall be necessary to determine the effects of the impacts to the historic property. NCDOT Construction Staff - Cultural Resources If any previously undocumented historic or archaeological resources are discovered while conducting the authorized work, activities in that area shall be suspended. NCDOT will initiate any required State / Federal coordination after a timely initial assessment. Should the initial resource assessment and agency coordination completed by NCDOT determine that additional NRHP evaluation and/or Section 106 mitigation is necessary, NCDOT shall conduct further evaluation and/or mitigation as appropriate. The Inadvertent or accidental discovery of human remains shall be handled in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes 65 and 70. NCDOT Environmental Analysis Unit-ECAP Section 7 protected species surveys are still underway. NCDOT will complete these surveys prior to any ground -disturbing activities in potential species habitats, and will coordinate survey results with regulatory agencies for issuance of any permits. v2019.1 R-5777D & 1-5986C Type I(B) CE Page 6 I.

Having reviewed the historic architecture comments and mapping, we find that the project should not adversely affect any historic architectural properties, conditioned upon the construction team's contacting the State Historic Preservation Office should the plans change and installation activities enter into the boundary of a historic architectural property. As the proposed installation of three 1.25" diameter conduits containing broadband fiber optic cable from I- 140 near Wilmington to 1-40 in Asheville, will take place in the existing right-of-way of the US 74 corridor, the project's area of potential effect has already been subjected to initial archaeological survey or previous disturbance. Based on available data, the NCDOT Archaeology Team has identified areas of archaeological concern for further investigation within the corridor which include sites: BN828, BW441, CB27, CB34, CB36, CB37, C1338, CL6, MK296, MK299, MK303, MK309, PL5, PL11, RF8, RF9, RF134, RH466. We concur with the sites identified and also recommend further investigation of sites RB43 and RH105. Our professional staff is available for consultation to further define areas of concern or review proposed scopes of work. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.

TRoaDom III SECRETARY TO: Eileen Fuchs, Technical Services, NCDOT FROM: Paul J. Mohler, Archaeology Team, NCDOT SUBJECT: M-0360, US 74 Install Broadband Fiber from New Hanover County to Buncombe County DATE: November 5 2020 CC: Jamie Lancaster, Environmental Analysis Unit, NCDOT Matt Wilkerson, Archaeology Team, NCDOT The Proposed Study Area, a buffer measuring 1,000 feet to either side of the corridor centerline, was reviewed for the proposed project, which consists of the installation of broadband fiber within the existing ROW along US 74 from New Hanover County to Buncombe County, a distance of over 330 miles spanning fifteen counties. It is my understanding that this project has State funding but may require a USACE permit and may have FHWA and USFS involvement based on the Request for Review. In addition, a Federal -level CE is to be prepared for this project. The Archaeology Team has been asked to provide areas of concern for archaeological resources along the route so that Technical Services, and their Design Build contractor, can avoid impacts to these locations. Please see the following discussions, tables, and associated graphics for areas that may be of concern. If any additional information is needed, please feel free to contact me. Given the sheer length and width of the proposed project (i.e. the Proposed Study Area), each county's information has been tabulated for your convenience, consisting of: known archaeological sites present, whether the NRHP eligibility of those sites has been assessed, each site's cultural affiliation, any corresponding OSA Bibliographic and SHPO Environmental Review references, what side of the corridor the site is located, whether the site is located within NCDOT's existing ROW, and whether the site may potentially be impacted. The presence of Federal property and State-owned lands along the corridor has also been noted as well as any known cemeteries. Much of this information was compiled from OSA's data attributes contained within their GIS database. A very brief discussion for each county is presented. Any areas of concern within the counties are highlighted and accompanied by a corresponding graphic. Please know that some historic architectural resources may contain archaeological components; however, such resources were not specifically reviewed as part of this request because such resources should have been captured by the Historic Architecture Team's review of the project.

ERIC BOYETTE SECRETARY I have reviewed the proposed project area for the installation of broadband fiber within existing NCDOT Right -of -Way along US 74 (and sections of I-85 and 1-26). It is my understanding that this project has federal funding and may require a Department of Army permit. i was asked to provide areas of concern for historic architectural resources along the route so that the Design Build contractor can avoid impacts to these sites. The proposed project travels through the following counties listed below. Countywide surveys have been completed in most of the counties, however many of the surveys are out of date or are not comprehensive, therefore I reviewed the entire length of the project through HPOweb, Google mapping and Streetview, and tax parcel data. My findings on areas of concern for historic architectural resources are noted. Environmental review of past NCDOT projects have contributed to the identification of historic resources along the corridor. I identified sites that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), North Carolina Study Listed, determined eligible for the NRHP, and un-identified sites of concem. Construction activities and staging areas should not extend into the boundaries of the properties noted in this memorandum without consultation with the North Carolina Historic Preservation Office (NC HPO) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

The county was comprehensively surveyed in 2010, and a -variety of-NCDOT projects have identified and evaluated sites along the corridor. A screening of these identified sites determined that there are no determined eligible properties. US 74 Broadband Project Memo Page 2 of 24 v v � C J E.

Nine of the eleven archaeological sites do not fall within NCDOT's existing ROW and, thus, would not be impacted by the project. A very small portion of Site 31BW837 falls within the existing ROW; however, its location would suggest that it should not be impacted. In addition, Site 31BW837 was assessed as Not Eligible for the NRHP. Five (5) cemeteries were noted along the corridor within Brunswick County, four of which have been determined Not Eligible for the NRHP whereas one is listed as Unassessed. One cemetery (Site 31BW441) may fall or extend into the existing ROW. Although Not Eligible for the NRHP, Site 31 BW441, if impacted, will require compliance with State statutes regarding the removal and relocation of graves. There is one instance of Federally owned lands within the corridor (a tract owned by the US Maritime Commission) and four instances of State-owned property, which may need to be taken into consideration. Overall, there is one (1) Area of Concern for Brunswick County, that being the location of Site 31BW441 (Thornton Cemetery) (see Figure 1). OSA's locational accuracy for Thornton Cemetery is questionable; it may have been misplotted based on a review of spatial data presented by Brunswick County's GIS department.
