Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. During construction of the proposed bridge a portion of the existing roadway will be removed and the new bridge will be 54 feet longer, thereby increasing floodplain access. An offsite detour will be utilized during construction. Bridge end drains are located outside of wetland areas. The proposed bridges bents, which will be located partially in the stream, are located toward the banks of the stream and way from the thalwag. The proposed bridge will use the existing alignment and will be approximately the same grade as the existing bridge. 1b . Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. NCDOT will implement Best Management Practices for Bridge Demolition and Removal. NCDOT BMP's for the Protection of Surface Waters will be strictly enforced during construction of this project. At all the sites, stormwater will be treated and non-erosive velocities will be achieved where practicable. The proposed bridge will be 54 feet longer, therefore increasing floodplain access.

R-02 10). The 14.8-acre mitigation site is located in Moore County approximately 0.75 mile southeast of the town of Vass. The site is situated on both sides of the Little River and can be accessed via US I Business South on the northeastern boundary. The site includes 6.4 acres of bottomland hardwood restoration and 8.4 acres of bottomland hardwood preservation. This mitigation site has undergone tour years of successful vegetative and hydrological monitoring as of 2009. As shown below, NCDOT has debited 0.11 acres of riverine wetland restoration from the Little River Bridge Mitigation Site to offset the 0.11 acres of unavoidable impacts associated with the replacement of Bridge 11 over the Little River on SR 1864 (T.I.P.

(Sungate Design Group): Galen Call, P.E. (NCDOT Hydraulics Unit) ROADWAY DESCRIPTION The project involves the replacement of Bridge No. 11 on SR 1864 over Little River. The overall length of the project with approach work is approximately 782 feet. The proposed bridge will consist of 2 @ 65' and 1 @ 45' box beam. The project drainage systems consist of the bridge and associated bridge end drains. There are no proposed side or lateral ditches proposed. ENVIRONMENTAL DESCRIPTION The project is located in the Cape Fear River Basin. Currently, there are no buffer rules for this river basin. The project will have one (1) crossing of a jurisdictional stream that will impact Little River. Little River is classified as Class WS-III and High Quality Waters (HQW). The HQW designation applied to Little River necessitates the use of NCDOT's Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds throughout the design and construction of the project. The Little River in the project area is on NCDWQ's 303d list. There are several wetland areas impacted by the proposed project. BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND MAJOR STRUCTURES The primary goal of Best Management Practices (BMPs) is to prevent degradation of the states surface waters as a result of the location, construction and operation of the highway system. BMPs are activities, practices and procedures taken to prevent or reduce stormwater pollution. There are no BMPs used on this project. At all the sites, stormwater will be treated and non-erosive velocities will be achieved where practicable. MINIMIZATION OF IMPACTS Several design elements provided for minimization of wetland impacts. Bridge end drains are located outside wetland areas. `A DE North Carolina Department o+ Environment anc Division o VVater Quality , -ayes Perdue Coleen P.

Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to replace. Tasks completed during our field investigation include Section 404 jurisdictional area delineations and location of delineation flags with Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. As part of our contract, we have been asked to obtain regulatory agency verification of our delineations. To this end, I am providing you information concerning three bridges proposed for replacement in NCDOT Division 8. Bridge replacement B-4583 crosses Aberdeen Creek in Moore County. Bridge replacement B-4584 crosses Little River in Moore County. Bridge replacement B-4642 crosses Juniper Creek in Scotland County. Vegetated wetlands were identified within the project study area for all three bridge replacements. Attached to this letter is a packet of information for each bridge and a table of coordinates for all bridges. Included in each packet is a location map, a depiction of the GPS survey of the jurisdictional area delineation, and completed U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) routine onsite delineation data forms, if applicable. Locations where data forms were completed are depicted on the GPS survey maps by red circles. Again, I am interested in obtaining USACE verification of the delineations. Please let me know if you would like for us to join you in a visit to these bridges, and if you need further documentation concerning the delineations.

Categorical Exclusion Page I of 1 September 2007 Moore County Bridge No. 11 on SR 1864 (Long Point Road) Over Little River Federal-Aid Project No. BR2r1864(l) W.B.S. No. 33785.1.1 T.I.P. Project No. B4584 INTRODUCTION: The replacement of Bridge No. 11 is included in the latest approved North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and is eligible for the Federal-Aid Bridge Replacement Program. The location is shown in Figure 1. No substantial environmental impacts are anticipated. The project is classified as a Federal "Categorical Exclusion." 1. PURPOSE AND NEED Bridge Maintenance Unit records indicated the bridge has a sufficiency rating of 38.9 out of a possible 100 and a structural appraisal of 2 out of a possible 9. Therefore, based on Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards, the bridge is considered structurally deficient. In addition, the existing structure is considered functionally obsolete due to a deck geometry appraisal of 4 out of a possible 9. Bridge No. 11 is composed of timber, concrete and steel. Timber typically does not last beyond 40 to 50 years due to the natural deterioration rates of wood. Rehabilitation of a timber structure is generally practical only when a few members are damaged or prematurely deteriorated. The condition of Bridge No. 11, built in 1961, has deteriorated to the point that makes rehabilitation impractical. Replacement of the bridge will result in safer traffic operations. H. EXISTING CONDITIONS The project is located northeast of the intersection with SR 2175 (see Figure 1). Land use in the project area is predominantly woodlands and light residential. Undeveloped woodlands are adjacent on the north and south sides of the study area. SR 1864 (Long Point Road) is classified as a rural local in the Statewide Functional Classification System and it is not a National Highway System Route. This route is not a designated bicycle route and there is no indication that an unusual number of bicyclists and/or pedestrians use the roadway. Therefore, bicycle and pedestrian accommodations are not accounted for. In the vicinity of the bridge, SR 1864 has an 18-foot pavement width with four-foot grass shoulders (see Figure 3). The roadway grade has a slight crest at the existing bridge. The existing bridge on SR 1105 is located in a tangent with horizontal curves located on both approaches. The roadway is situated approximately 19 feet above the creek bed. Bridge No. 11 is a three-span structure that consists of a timber deck with asphalt wearing surface on I-beams. The substructure consists of end bents with timber caps on timber piles and interior bents with reinforced concrete caps on timber piles. The existing bridge (see Figure 3) was constructed in 1961. The overall length of the structure is 121 feet. The clear roadway width is 24.3 feet. The posted weight limit on this bridge is 14 tons for single vehicles and 19 tons for TTST's. On the downstream side of the bridge overhead telephone and power cross the stream. There are no utilities attached to the bridge. Utility impacts are anticipated to be low. The current traffic volume of 775 vehicles per day (VPD) is expected to increase to 1,600 VPD by the year 2030. The projected volume includes one percent truck-tractor semi-trailer (TTST) and two percent dual-tired vehicles (DT). The speed limit in the vicinity of the bridge is not posted and therefore a statutory 55 miles per hour (mph) is assumed. There is a 35 mph advisory sign for horizontal curve on north approach. Three school busses cross this bridge daily. There were no accidents reported during a recent three-year period. M. ALTERNATIVES A. Project Description The replacement structure will consist of a bridge approximately 175-foot long. The bridge length is based on preliminary design information and is set by hydraulic requirements. The opening size of the proposed structure may increase or decrease as necessary to accommodate peak flows as determined from a more detailed hydraulic analysis to be performed during the final design phase of the project. The bridge will be of sufficient width to provide for two 12-foot lanes with three-foot offsets on each side. The roadway grade of the new structure will be approximately the same as the existing grade. The existing roadway will be widened to a 24-foot pavement width to provide two 12-foot lanes. Six-foot shoulders will be provided on each side in accordance with the current NCDOT Design Policy. This roadway will be designed as a rural local. The proposed design speed is 60 mph. B. Reasonable and Feasible Alternatives Two (2) alternatives studied for replacing the existing bridge are described below Alternate A (Preferred) replaces the bridge at the existing location. Traffic will be detoured offsite (see Figure 1) during the construction period. The length of approach work will be approximately 330 feet on the south side of the bridge and approximately 330 feet on the north side of the bridge. NCDOT Guidelines for Evaluation of Offsite Detours for Bridge Replacement Proiects considers multiple project variables beginning with the additional time traveled by the average road user resulting from the offsite detour. The offsite detour for this project would include SR 2175 (Aiken Road) and US 1 approximately 3.08 miles in length. The detour for the average road user would result in 2 minutes additional travel time (1.31 miles additional travel). Up to a twelve- month duration of construction is expected on this project. No additional funds will be required for upgrading or improving the offsite detour. Based on the Guidelines, the criteria above indicate that on the basis of delay alone the detour is acceptable. Moore County Emergency Services along with Moore County Schools Transportation have also indicated that the detour is acceptable. NCDOT Division 8 has indicated the condition of all roads, bridges and intersections on the offsite detour are acceptable without improvement and concurs with the use of the detour. Alternate B replaces the bridge on new location east of the existing bridge. During construction, traffic will be maintained on the existing bridge. The length of approach work will be approximately 460 feet on the south side of the bridge and approximately 468 feet on the north side of the bridge. The proposed structure would be 325 feet long. C. Alternatives Eliminated From Further Study The "Do-Nothing" Alternative will eventually necessitate removal of the bridge and closing of the road. This is not desirable due to the traffic service provided by SR 1864. "Rehabilitation" of the existing bridge is not practical due to being composed mainly of timber and the natural deterioration of timber. Staged construction is not practical due to the availability of an offsite detour. D. Preferred Alternative Alternate A, replacing the existing bridge in the existing location while maintaining traffic on an offsite detour during the construction period is the preferred alternate. Alternate A was selected because of the comparatively lower human and natural environmental impacts associated with it. NCDOT Division Eight Engineer concurs with Alternate A as the preferred alternative. IV. DESIGN EXCEPTIONS ANTICIPATED A design exception will be required for the horizontal curve on the north approach for Alternate A. A design exception will be required for the horizontal curves on both approaches for Alternate B and also for the sag vertical curve k value. V. ESTIMATED COSTS The estimated costs, based on current 2007 prices, are as follows: V1. NATURAL RESOURCES A. Physical Characteristics 1. Water Resources The project study area is located within sub-basin 03-06-14 of the Cape Fear River Basin. This area is part of USGS Hydrologic Unit 03030004 (Seaber et al. 1987) of the South Atlantic - Gulf Region. Little River, the only stream within the project study area, is spanned by Bridge No. 11. The portion of Little River that lies within the project study area has been assigned Stream Index Number 18-23{10.7) by North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) (NCDWQ 2004). Little River is designated as a warm water stream. Classifications are assigned to waters of the State of North Carolina based on the existing or contemplated best usage of various streams or segments of streams in the basin. A Best Usage Classification of WS-III has been assigned to Little River along with the supplemental classification of High Quality Waters (HQW). No Water Supply I (WS-1), Water Supply II (WS- In, Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), or watershed Critical Areas (CA) occur within LO mile of the project study area. This portion of Little River is listed on the N.C. 2006 Section 303(d) Final list. The impaired use is aquatic life support and the reason for listing is low pH. 2. Biotic Resources Plant communities within the project study area were delineated to determine the approximate area and location of each (Figure 2). A summary of the plant community areas within the project study boundary is presented in Table 2. 2. Plant Communities within Proiect Studv Area Coastal Plain Bottomland 11.5 1 75 Disturbed/maintained Land 1.9 13 Impervious Surfaces 1.6 12 Total 15.0 100 B. Jurisdictional Topics 1. Surface Waters and Wetlands Within the project study area there is one jurisdictional stream: Little River. Most of the remainder of the project study area is comprised of Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods. Surface waters within the project study area are subject to jurisdictional consideration under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Potential impacts to waters of the United States resulting from replacement of this bridge consist of fill associated with bridge demolition and minor impacts to wetlands within the Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods. A summary of jurisdictional areas within the project study area is presented in Table 3. The maximum potential fill that may be deposited into Little River during bridge demolition is approximately 9 cubic yards- 4 2. Permits The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has made available Nationwide Permit (NWP) 23 for CEs due to minimal impacts to waters of the United States expected with bridge construction. A NWP No. 33 may be required if temporary construction including cofferdams, access and dewatering are required for this project. NCDWQ has made available a General 401 Water Quality Certification for NWP 23 and/or NWP 33. Potential impacts to waters of the United States resulting from replacement of this bridge consist of fill associated with bridge demolition and minor impacts to wetlands within the Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods. 3. Federally Protected Species Species with the federal classification of Endangered (E), Threatened (T), Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance (T [S/A]), or officially Proposed (P) for such listing are protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). The term "Endangered Species" is defined as "any species which is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range," and the term "Threatened Species" is defined as "any species which is likely to become an Endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range" (16 U.S.C. 1532). The term "Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance" is defined as a species which is not "Endangered" or "Threatened," but "closely resembles an Endangered or Threatened species" (16 U.S.C. 1532). The project study area was walked and visually surveyed for significant features including potential protected species habitat. The field work for this investigation was conducted on May 25, 2006, and May 26, 2006 by EcoScience Corporation biologists Craig Terwilliger and Justin Wright. The USFWS lists four federally protected species for Moore County (USFWS 2006, see Table 4). "JYIfS'?:t?

During the May 25, 2006 field visit, a systematic plant-by-plant survey was conducted within suitable habitat by EcoScience Corporation biologists. No specimens were observed. NCNHP records (reviewed May 2006) document no occurrence of American chaffseed within 2.0 miles of the project study area. Based on the plant survey identifying that the species was not present and NCNHP records, the proposed project will have No Effect on American chaffseed. CAPE FEAR SHINER BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT Within the project study area there is no suitable habitat for the Cape Fear shiner in the form of streams with gravel, cobble, and boulder substrates with pools, riffles, and shallow runs. The habitat at the project site is sand and silt and the water is tannin in color with little flow. The stream has more of a coastal plain appearance. There are no slackwater areas with large rock outcrops and pools with water of good quality with relatively low silt loads (USFWS 2006). NCNHP records (reviewed May 2006) document no occurrence of Cape Fear shiner within 2.0 miles of the project study area. The effect of this project on Cape Fear shiner is No Effect. MICHAUX'S SUMAC BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT The project study area contains suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac along the roadway within the disturbed/maintained land. During the May 25, 2006 field visit, a systematic plant-by-plant survey was conducted within suitable habitat by EcoScience Corporation biologists. No specimens were observed. NCNHP records (reviewed May 2006) document no occurrence of Michaux's sumac within 2.0 miles of the project study area. Based on the plant survey identifying that the species was not present and NCNHP records, the proposed project will have No Effect on Michaux's sumac. RED-COCKADED WOODPECKER BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT The majority of the project study area is Coastal Plain Bottomland Hardwoods. This plant community lacks the open shrub layer of pine savanna or pine woods habitat required by this species for foraging and nesting. NCNHP records (reviewed May 2006) document no occurrence of red cockaded woodpecker within 2.0 miles of the project study area. Based on NCNHP records and lack of suitable habitat, this project will have No Effect on red cockaded woodpecker. VII. HUMAN ENVIRONMENT Section 106 Compliance Guidelines This project is subject to compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended, and implemented by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified as 36 CFR Part 800. Section 106 requires Federal agencies to take into account the effect of their undertakings (federally funded, licensed, or permitted projects) on properties listed in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and to afford the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation a reasonable opportunity to comment on such undertakings. Historic Architecture The Historic Preservation Office (HPO) reviewed the subject project and determined that no surveys are required (see letter dated May 1, 2006). Archaeology The Historic Preservation Office (HPO) reviewed the subject project. There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area, and no archaeological investigation needed to be conducted (see letter dated May 1, 2006). Community Impacts No adverse impact on families or communities is anticipated. Right of way acquisition will be limited. No relocatees are expected with implementation of the proposed alternative. No adverse effect on public facilities or services is anticipated. The project is not expected to adversely affect social, economic, or religious opportunities in the area. The project is not in conflict with any plan, existing land use, or zoning regulation. No substantial change in land use is expected to result from construction of the project. The Farmland Protection Policy Act requires all federal agencies or their representatives to consider the potential impacts to prime and important farmland soils by all land acquisition and construction projects. Prime and important familand soils are defined by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Since there are no prime or important farmlands in the immediate vicinity of the proposed bridge the Farmland Protection Policy does not apply. The project will not have a disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effect on any minority or low-income population. Noise & Air Quality This project is an air quality neutral project in accordance with 40 CFR 93.126. It is not required to be included in the regional emissions analysis (if applicable) and project level CO or PM2.5 analyses are not required. This project will not result in any meaningful changes in traffic volumes, vehicle mix, location of the existing facility"; or any other factor that would cause an increase in emissions impacts relative to the no-build alternative. Therefore, FHWA has determined that this project will generate minimal au quality impacts for Clean Air Act criteria pollutants and has not been linked with any special MSAT concerns. Consequently, this effort is exempt from analysis for MSATs. Any burning of vegetation shall be performed in accordance with applicable local laws and regulations of the North Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) for air quality compliance with 15 NCAC 213.0520. Noise levels may increase during project construction; however, these impacts are not expected to be substantial considering the relatively short-term nature of construction noise and the limitation of construction to daytime hours. The transmission loss characteristics of nearby natural elements and man-made structures are believed to be sufficient to moderate the effects of intrusive construction noise. VEIL GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS The project is expected to have an overall positive impact. Replacement of an inadequate bridge will result in safer traffic operations. The bridge replacement will not have an adverse effect on the quality of the human or natural environment with the use of current NCDOT standards and specifications. The proposed project will not require right-of-way acquisition or easement from any land protected under section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 (49 U.S.C. 303). An examination of records at the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, Groundwater Section and the North Carolina Department of Human Resources, Solid Waste Management Section revealed no hazardous waste sites, no regulated or unregulated landfills or dumpsites with in the project area. No facility with underground storage tanks (UST) was identified in the project vicinity. Moore County is a participant in the Federal Flood Insurance Program The bridge is located within a Limited Detail Study Area. The new structure should be designed to match or lower the existing 100- year storm elevation upstream of the roadway. Since the proposed replacement for Bridge No. 1 l would be a structure similar in waterway opening size, it is not anticipated that it will have any significant adverse impact on the existing floodplain and floodway. The proposed alternatives will not modify flow characteristics and will have a minimal impact on floodplains due to roadway encroachment. The existing drainage patterns and groundwater will not be affected. On the basis of the above discussion, it is concluded that no significant adverse environmental effects will result from implementation of the project. UK. OTHER AGENCY COMMENTS NCDOT has sought input from the following agencies as a part of the project development: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, N. C. Department of Cultural Resources, U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service, N. C. Division of Water Quality, N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission, National Marine Fisheries, U. S. Forest Service, Moore County Emergency Services and the Moore County Public Schools. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in a standardized letter provided a request that they prefer any replacement structure to be a spanning structure. Response: The existing bridge will be replaced with a bridge and bents in the stream will be minimized to the extent possible. Equal or greater conveyance will be provided with the bridge and wetland impacts will be minimized/avoided to extent practical. The N.C. Wildlife Resource Commission had no special concerns for this project. The North Carolina Division of Water Quality stated that NCDOT will be required to design, construct, and maintain hazardous spill catch basins in the project area and that they prefer an offsite detour to avoid temporary impacts. Response: The NCDOT Hydraulics unit has stated that these items should not apply to this project. The Moore County Public Schools and Moore County Emergency Services indicated that an offsite detour is acceptable. X. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT A newsletter has been sent to all those living along SR 1864 between the intersection with SR 2175 and the intersection with US 1. There have been three comments received to date including one in support of Alternate A. There is not substantial controversy on social, economic, or environmental grounds concerning the project. XL CONCLUSION On the basis of the above discussion, it is concluded that no substantial adverse environmental impacts will result from implementation of the project. The project is therefore considered to be a federal "Categorical Exclusion" due to its limited scope and lack of substantial environmental consequences.
