4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project,*
The improvements at the intersection of Royal Avenue and Central Heights Road at Berkeley Boulevard in Goldsboro by relocating Central Heights Road from the south side to the
north side of the railroad will align Royal Avenue and Central Heights Road with the existing Berkeley Boulevard/Royal Avenue intersection which will improve mobility and safety by
reducing driver confusion. However this improvement eliminates an at grade railroad crossing which would force businesses and residents south of the tracks that currently use Oak
Forest Road and Central Heights Road to access US 13 to use US 70 to access US 13. Therefore the second part of this project of extending Fallin Boulevard across Central Heights
Road to North Oak Forest Road will include a new at -grade railroad crossing, which will replace the existing at -grade railroad crossing being closed with the relocation of Central Heights
Road thus reestablishing another connection point to US 13.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
This project proposes to improve the intersection of Royal Avenue and Central Heights Road at Berkeley Boulevard in Goldsboro by relocating Central Heights Road from the south
side to the north side of the railroad to align with the existing Berkeley Boulevard/Royal) Avenue intersection. This intersection will also receive signal upgrades. Existing pavement south
of the railroad on Central Heights Road will be removed, and a new 0.3-mile long service road off Berkeley Boulevard will be added to maintain access to property along the existing
portions of Central Heights Road. Royal Avenue will also be widened and shifted north. Berkeley Boulevard is proposed to be improved with an added variable width concrete median
between the US 70 northbound ramps and the Norfolk Southern railroad as well as a right turn lane to the northbound US 70 on ramp.
This proposed project also includes extending Fallin Boulevard across Central Heights Road to North Oak Forest Road. This extension will include a newat-grade railroad crossing,
which will replace the existing at -grade railroad crossing being closed with the relocation of Central Heights Road. The Fallin Boulevard extension will cross Billy Bud Creek, a FEMA
regulated stream, with a proposed box culvert.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
2.68MB
1.5MB
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Ebsting alignments and/or culvert crossing locations were used during the design of this project to minimize impacts..
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
All construction equipment will be staged and operated from upland areas. DOT will also install silt fencing to protect the streams and wetlands
adjacent to the project. Safety fencing will be used to delineate jurisdictional and environmentally sensitive areas.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State

2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
r Yes r No
Comments:
See attached SMP
G. Supplementary Information
1. Environmental Documentation
1a. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?*
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:
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 (15ANCAC 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.
Although portions of Long Branch, Billy Branch, and Billy Bud Creek cross the FLUSA, public policy governing the FLUSA is very restrictive, and there
are growth management provisions in place to protect these resources. However, the potential for degradation of water quality still emsts through
erosion and stream sedimentation. Any direct natural environmental impacts by NCDOT projects would be addressed by avoidance, minimization, or
mitigation, consistent with programmatic agreements with the natural resource agencies during the Merger and Permitting processes.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?*
r Yes r Nor 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?*
r Yes r No

5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts?*
r Yes r No
5d. Is another Federal agency involved?*
r Yes r No r Unknown
5e. Is this a DOT project located within Division's 1-8?
r Yes r No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
See attached Ipac letter. There are 3 aquatic species listed and Red Cockaded Woodpecker. None of the streams in this project have suitable habitat
for these 3 species as all 3 crossing impacted by this project are very small streams with little to no flow. They are basically just farm ditches full of
aquatic vegetation with very little free flowing water. As for RCW's, there was no habitat for RCWs affected by this project.
