6i.Comments:
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1.Avoidance and Minimization
la.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
This project was designed in a manner that completely avoids any wetland impacts and only minor impacts to the riparian buffer and stream bank.The
storm water discharge that requires the only jurisdictional impacts on this property has been designed to impact an area of riparian buffer that is currently
managed turf and provides no thermal cover(tree canopy).Due to the lack of canopy or extensive root mat,the stormwater outlet will not require
extensive clearing or grubbing activities to install.
lb.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
BMPs and Permit Conditions will be strictly observed throughout construction and all erosion control devices will be monitored and inspected per
NPDES Guidelines.
2.Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S.or Waters of the State
2a.Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S.or Waters of the State?
Yes No
2b.If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation,explain why:
Impacts associated with this project do not meet the thresholds for requiring mitigation.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la.Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
What type of SCM are you providing?
Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance(lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale(higher SHWT)
Other SCM that removes minimum 30%nitrogen
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a.Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
Yes No
Comments:
See Stormwater Management Plan included with Permit Drawings
G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
la.Does the project involve an expenditure of public(federal/state/local)funds or the use of public(federal/state)land?*
Yes No
lb.If you answered"yes"to the above,does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the requirements of the National or State(North Carolina)
Environmental Policy Act(NEPA/SEPA)?*
Yes No
Comments:*
MCDC Available upon request
2.Violations (DWR Requirement)
2a.Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules(15A NCAC 2H.0500),Isolated Wetland Rules(15A NCAC 2H.1300),or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or
Riparian Buffer Rules(15A NCAC 2B.0200)?*
Yes No

3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a.Will this project result in additional development,which could impact nearby downstream water quality?*
Yes No
3b.If you answered"no,"provide a short narrative description.
This is a single and complete project intended to address specific traffic safety issues at an adjacent intersection.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a.Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?*
Yes No N/A
5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat(Corps Requirement)
5a.Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?*
Yes No
5b.Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts?*
Yes No
5c.If yes,indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.
Raleigh
5d.Is another Federal agency involved?*
Yes No Unknown
5e.Is this a DOT project located within Division's 1-8?
Yes No
5j.What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
IPAC,onsite evaluations,and direct correspondence with Mr.Gary Jordan(USFWS).
6. Essential Fish Habitat(Corps Requirement)
6a.Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?*
Yes No
6b.What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat?*
EFH Mapper
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a.Will this project occur in or near an area that the state,federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation status?*
Yes No
7b.What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?*
HEU Letters attached for Archaeology and Architecture
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a.Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain?*
Yes No
8b.If yes,explain how project meets FEMA requirements:
Goose Creek is a FEMA regulated stream.Based on the effective model,Benvenue Road does not overtop during the 100-Year flood event,so the
majority of excavation will be in an ineffective area from the culvert.Additionally,the excavation if modeled in a cross-section would be given an
ineffective area since it is perpendicular to the flow.Since we are not proposing fill in the floodplain,all the proposed excavation would be within
ineffective areas.
8c.What source(s)did you use to make the floodplain determination?*
NCFRIS
