Supporting Documentation
i 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:
The bridge will be replaced on the eAsting alignment. The new bridge will have less bents in the water than the epsting structure. See stormwater
management plan for additional minimization measures.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
An offsite detour will be used during construction. NCDOT's Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds will be adhered to.
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:
Impacts are minimal therefore no compensatory mitigation is proposed.
6b. If yes, then identify the square feet of impact.

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 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.

wedgemussel received biological conclusions of "No Effect". The Tar River spinymussel and yellow lance received biological conclusions of "May
Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect". NCDOT proposes to satisfy impacts to Section 7 for the species by making payment to the N.C. Non -game
Aquatic Species Fund as set in the Programmatic Biological Opinion for freshwater mussels.
