4. Proposed Activity
Provide a detailed description of the proposed activity including its purpose and include the type of equipment to be used: *
The purpose of the project is to provide access and connectivity to PTI property to
accommodate the employees and material delivery to the proposed aviation -related
development on the airport property. Boom Supersonic selected Greensboro for the
first supersonic airliner manufacturing facility.
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Project No. HE-0005
proposes to construct two new roadways north of 1-73 between Pleasant Ridge Road
and the 1-73 taxiway and south of 1-73 between Regional Road and the Old Oak
Ridge Road/I-73 interchange to provide access and connectivity to the Piedmont
Triad International (PTI) Airport in Greensboro. The project also includes constructing
a bridge over 1-73 to provide connections between the new location roadways, north
and south of 1-73.
Pleasant Ridge Road is generally a two-lane undivided roadway that widens to
accommodate turn lanes at its signalized intersection with N.C. Highway 68. Regional
Road is a four -lane undivided roadway that intersects Cornerstone Drive at a
signalized intersection and continues as Burgess Road. The proposed project
includes constructing a new location roadway north
and south of 1-73 at PTI Airport. A two-lane and three -lane typical cross section are
being considered. The two-lane typical cross section includes one 18-foot travel lane
in each direction, curb and gutter along the outside travel lanes, and 8-foot grass
shoulders on either side of the roadway. The three -lane typical cross section includes
one 12-foot travel lane in each direction, one 12-foot two-way left turn lane, curb and
gutter along the outside travel lanes, and 8-foot grass shoulders on either side of the
roadway.
The proposed roadway construction is expected to have minor indirect and
cumulative effects on future land use and
environmental resources. Details of these analyses are provided in the Direct and
Indirect Screening Tool (2022).
Typical road construction equipment, such as trucks, dozers, cranes, and asphalt
equipment, will be used for this project.

D. 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 has been designed with as few crossings of jurisdictional features as
possible. The crossings have been designed to minimize jurisdictional impacts by
avoiding features wherever possible. There will be impacts to the riparian buffer at
one stream, which has been designed to cross the buffers perpendicularly, so as to
minimize impacts.
lb. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Erosion and sedimentation BMPs will be installed prior to construction. Construction
has been sequenced and designed to avoid/minimize impacts by locating temporary
pump arounds away from features. Water will be diverted around the work area to
prevent sedimentation of downstream aquatic resources. Impacts will be minimized
by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of surface
waters, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the
US and coordination with appropriate environmental staff.
E. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. What type of SCM are you providing?*
Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
Other SCM that removed minimum of 30% nitrogen
