The project proposes to improve West Wilson Avenue by adding a pedestrian multi -use path, curb and gutter, and drainage improvements.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
A 10' wide multi -use path will be constructed on the south side of W. Wilson Avenue from station 24+00.00 west of Lowrance Avenue to station 80+50.00 at the project terminus at S.
Broad Street. The path will diverge from the roadside in the vicinity of Reeds Creek, will cross the creek with a bridge, and will turn north parallel to Lowrance Avenue. The path will then
cross a tributary to Reeds Creek (Stream A), which will incorporate an extension of a 66" RCP to facilitate this crossing, and will continue eastward, again crossing this tributary Stream
A with a bridge (no impacts proposed at this crossing). The path will then converge with the roadside and continue eastward at 10' wide before transitioning to an 8' wide path at Hillside
Drive. The path will tie to ebsting 5' wide sidewalk at the intersection of W. Wilson Avenue and S. Academy Street. Curb and gutter and drainage improvements will be incorporated at
various locations throughout the project. Typical roadway construction equipment will be utilized during construction. Bank stabilization Will utilize Class 1 rip rap.

150 104
3i. Total stream and ditch impacts:
254
3j. Comments:
The majority of permanent stream impacts are bank stabilization with Class 1 rip rap. Permanent impacts other than bank stabilization are limited to the
wdension of a culvert under Lowrance Ave. to allowfor the pedestrian trail adjacent to the roadway. Permit impact drawings are provided in the
miscellaneous attachments.
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:
All wetland impacts are avoided. The trail design proposes an additional bridge over Stream A for which no impacts are proposed. The project utilizes
already -cleared corridors, where present, to the extent practicable.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Impacts to streams will be minimized by dewatering during construction and working in -the -dry.
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?
r Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The majority of the 150 linear feet of permanent impacts are bank stabilization impacts, for which mitigation is not typically required.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
r Yes r No
If no, explain why:
The project is located in the Catawba basin, but is not close to the main stem of the Catawba River.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
r Yes r No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
r Yes r No

r Yes r No
1b. 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)?*
r Yes r No
Comments:*

Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)?*
r Yes r No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?*
r Yes r No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
The roadway improvements are not expected to increase development in the project vicinity, which is already comprised of residential and commercial
development.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)

r^ Yes r No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
VHB biologists performed surveys for bald eagle and dwarf -flowered heartleaf. No eagle nests found within 660' of project area. No heartleaf habitat
found in project area. Project complies with 4(d) rule for northern long-eared bat. Project will avoid tree clearing to the extent practicable by utilizing
eAsting cleared corridors. Due to the project not being federally funded and the action not being undertaken by a federal entity, USFWS did not
consult/comment on findings, but Marella Buncick/Asheville office did comment by phone to the consultant David Cooper that the project proponent
and its consultant are responsible for ensuring compliance with the ESA. Consultant has performed due diligence surveys and the project will be in
compliance with the ESA.
