4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The replacement of bridge 189 is part of the Growing Rural Economy and Agriculture through Transportation and Technology Enhancement or Replacement in North Carolina
(GREATTER-NC) Project under the United States Department of Transportation's 2018 Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Grant Program. The purpose of
the grant and this bridge replacement is to provide transportation infrastructure to support economic development and improve physical and digital connectivity in rural communities in
North Carolina. The current posted weight restriction on Bridge 189 prohibits large or heavy vehicles, typically used in transporting agricultural and manufactured products, from using
the bridge. Vehicles above the posted limit must detour 3.8 miles to avoid the bridge. Replacing this bridge will eliminate posted weight limits by providing a safe crossing for all legal
loads and will make accommodations for broadband installation in order to support economic competitiveness.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The proposed project will replace the existing 31 foot -long, two-lane bridge with a new 62 foot -long, two-lane bridge on the existing alignment. Traffic will be detoured offsite during
construction. Standard road building equipment such as trucks, dozers, and cranes will be used.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation V
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The proposed replacement bridge will be on the same alignment as the eAsting bridge, will be longer, and will span the stream. Overall drainage
patterns will be maintained. On the end side of the bridge, a traffic bearing grated drop inlet with double frame and grates (2GI) will be placed on the
left and right sides of the roadway in the shoulder berm gutter to pick up runoff from the bridge. Deck drains will not discharge directly above water.
Class II rip rap will be used at the embankment of the ditch outlet on the left end side of the bridge.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
NCDOT will adhere to Best Management Practices for Construction and Maintenance Activities.
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 f• No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The NCDOT does not propose mitigation for the temporary and bank stabilization impacts related to this project. These impacts do not require permanent fill in the stream bed,
therefore, under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, do not constitute Loss of Waters of the U.S., and are not subject to compensatory mitigation.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
r Yes r No
If no, explain why:
No buffered resources within project area.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
r Yes r No
