Supporting Documentation
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The replacement structure is designed so that internal bents are outside of the the banks of Gideon Swamp. There will be no permanent stream or
wetland impacts with the project. See Stormwater Management Plan for more information.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
NCDOT's Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds will be employed during construction. NCDOT Best Management Practices for Construction and
Maintenance Activities will be implemented. An off -site detour will be used during construction.
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:
Due to minimal impacts, compensatory mitigation for Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State is not proposed
6b. If yes, then identify the square feet of impact.

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.
Due to the minimal transportation impact resulting from this bridge replacement, this project will neither influence nearby land uses nor stimulate
growth. Therefore, a detailed indirect or cumulative effects study will not be necessary.

5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
N.C. Natural Heritage Program database; USFWS-Raleigh Field Office website;biological surveys for protected species listed for Nash County, which
include red -cockaded woodpecker (RCW), dwarf wedgemussel, Tar River spinymussel, yellow lance and Michaux's sumac. Habitat for RCW and
Michau)ts sumac exist within the study area, however no specimens were observed during surveys conducted on May 24, 2019. NCDOT proposes to
use the Programmatic Biological Opinion for dwarf wedgemussel, Tar River spinymussel and yellow lance. Habitat for the bald eagle is not present
within 1.0 mile of the study area.
