List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.11 4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property: 4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:* To replace a structurally deficient bridge. Bridge No. 35 has a sufficiency rating of 4 out of 100. The bridge is considered structurally deficient due to a superstructure appraisal of 3 out of 9 according to Federal Highway standards. This also necessities the need to replace an existing 72-inch Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP). 41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:* The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace bridge number 980035 on NC 67 (Reynolda Road) over the Yadkin River (STIP B-5825) in Yadkin & Forsyth Counties. The replacement structure will be a 72-inch girder bridge approximately 1,065-feet long providing a minimum clear roadway width of 32-feet on new alignment to the north. The bridge will include two 12-foot travel lanes, 4-foot offsets, and bicycle safe rails. The bridge length is based on preliminary design information and is set by hydraulic requirements. The roadway grade of the newstructure will be raised from 3 feet to 6 feet. The 72" Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) on SR 1600 (Donnaha Road) over an unnamed tributary to the Yadkin River Will be replaced with a single 9' x 10' Reinforced Box Culvert (RCBC). The existing single 9' x 9' RCBC on NC 67 (Reynolda Road) over an unnamed tributary to the Yadkin River east of Bridge No. 980035 will be retained and extended. Project construction on NC 67 (Reynolda Road) will extend approximately 1,533-feet from the west end of the new bridge and 1,402-feet from the east end of the new bridge. The approaches will be widened to provide two 12-foot travel lanes with 8-foot shoulders (11-feet with guardrail) including 4-foot paved. Project construction on SR 1600 (Donnaha Road) will extend approximately 968-feet north from NC 67. SR 1600 will be realigned and widened to improve the sight distance to the west. The realignment of SR 1600 to the east will include two 12-foot travel lanes with 8-foot shoulders (11-feet With guardrail). NC 67 has a functional classification of Minor Arterial and will be designed using Regional Tier Guidelines with a 60 mile per hour design speed. 4j.

Total jurisdictional ditch impact in square feet: 3i. Total permanent stream impacts: 663 3i. Total stream and ditch impacts: 819 3i. Total temporary stream impacts: 156 3j. Comments: Of the total of 663 linear feet of permanent stream impact, 197 linear feet are Bank Stabilization impacts (not requiring mitigation). Therefore, mitigation is required for 466 linear feet of permanent stream impacts. [see Comment in Section 4h] 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: Minimizing shoulder section; providing adequate ground cover; stabilizing embankments and drainage ditches; providing adequate energy dissipation; utilizing natural features and drainage pathways (e)dsting drainage pathways were utilized to the mapmum extent practicable); and minimizing direct discharges from the bridge. The emsting bridge has four (4) bents in the Yadkin River; the proposed bridge will only have two (2) bents in the Yadkin River. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: At Site 2, a portion of a 30-inch RCP will be removed and approbmately 100 linear feet of stream will be 'day -lighted'. At Site 4, a 72-inch CMP will be removed and approbmately 100 linear feet of stream will be 'day -lighted'. During the use of temporary work pads for the bridge demolition/construction, stream flow blockage will be limited to 50 % (or less) at any one time. Best Management Practices for Surface Waters will be used during all phases of construction. 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 2c. If yes, mitigation is required by (check all that apply): W DWR W Corps 2d. If yes, which mitigation option(s) will be used for this project? r Mitigation bank W Payment to in -lieu fee r Permittee Responsible program Mitigation 4. Complete if Making a Payment to In -lieu Fee Program 4a. Approval letter from in -lieu fee program is attached. r Yes r No 4b. Stream mitigation requested: (linear feet) 4c. If using stream mitigation, what is the stream temperature: 466 warm 4d. Buffer mitigation requested (DWR only): (square feet) 4e. Riparian wetland mitigation requested: (acres) 0.11 4f. Non -riparian wetland mitigation requested: 4g. Coastal (tidal) wetland mitigation requested (acres) (acres) 4h. Comments NCDOT does not propose mitigation for the 197 linear feet of bank stabilization impacts, as bank stabilization does not require fill in the stream bed and therefore, under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, does not constitute Loss of Waters of the U.S. and is not subject to compensatory mitigation. Wetland mitigation has been obtained from DMS. Stream mitigation has been obtained from Brushy Mountain Mitigation Bank. 6. Buffer mitigation (State Regulated Riparian Buffer Rules) - required by DWR 6a. Will the project result in an impact within a protected riparian buffer that requires buffer mitigation? If yes, you must fill out this entire form - please contact DWR for more information. r Yes r No 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: it is not located Within a Buffer Basin. 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 Permit Drawings. 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 u 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 1c. If you answered "yes" to the above, has the document review been finalized bythe State Clearing House?* r Yes r No NEPAor SEPA Final Approval Letter B-5825 MCDC 10Jull9.pdf 2. Violations (DWR Requirement) 4.99MB 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 (15A NCAC 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. Due to the 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. 4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement) 4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?* r' Yes C No r' WA 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.

The land was donated to the State of North Carolina by the United States of America as a recreational use for the traveling public and as a source for roadway materials in connection with the maintenance and operation of a public highway. Donnaha Park will be impacted with the proposed project due to the relocation of Donnaha Road. To address Donnaha Park closure and to address potential river users during bridge demolition/construction, Division 11 personnel will be meeting on -site with the NCWRC, scheduled for March 4, 2020, for discussion of logistics.
