4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The existing culvert was destroyed in Hurricane Florence and a temporary replacement was installed to maintain traffic. The emergency repair needs to be replaced with a permanent
structure large enough to handle high flows in storm events.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Existing Culvert 82-2042, 95in. x 67in. Corrugated Metal Pipe Arch, appx 40' in length on SR-1321 was blown out during Hurricane Florence. Emergency 84in. CMP appx 48' in length
and Roadway fill was installed to establish temporary service. Emergency 84in. CMP is undersized and will not support high conveyance during major flood events. The proposed culvert
is a 2@10'x6' RCBC with bevels, 51.5ft. in length, buried 1ft. with sills and filled with native material. Upstream invert 224.75ft. and downstream invert 224.75ft, slope 0.0%. Roadway
drainage runs off on either side of the proposed roadway and disperses into wetlands and/or natural ground. Construction of the new culvert will take place while an off -site detour
maintains traffic. Bank stabilization rip -rap will be installed as necessary to prevent streambank degradation.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

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:
NCDOT's best management practices for the installation of pipe in jurisdictional waters will be adherred to thorughout the life of the project. The
minimum pipe length is being utilized to meet the current design standards for safety and hydraulic flow.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Temporary diversions wetland repairs:
The temporary diversions in the wetland areas will be restored to
Preconstruction slope and contours. Excavated material shall be
Strategically stockpiled and protected. This material will be used
To backfill the excavated areas to the original density. The area
Will then be reseeded with the appropriate native wetland seed mix.
