4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The project has been modified to replace the designed signaled intersection at US 276/64 with a two-lane round -about. The construction of the round -about vdll impact two streams vnth
no impact to wetlands. The attached plan sheet accurately depicts streams in the project footprint. Work will involve clearing and grading a forested and field area totaling less than 0.5
acre. The project area is in the Davidson River Watershed, Mich is classified as B, and a tributary to the French Broad River, which supports Appalachian elktoe mussels, so erosion
controls will be very important with this project.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
This modification request is to authorize stream impacts in association with the construction of a roundabout (in place of the previously designed signaled intersection) and the
construction of a sidewalk along eAsting roadway. Typical land grading and paving equipment Will be utilized.

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:
These are the minimum impacts necessary to construct the sidewalk and 2 lane roundabout.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
The use of headwalls allowed pipe lengths to be kept to a minimum.
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:
The original project permitted to Davidson River Partners, LLC did not require compensatory mitigation. We believe that the proposed Nationwide 14 for the round -about work also
should not require compensatory mitigation as the combined permanent impacts associated with channel loss or degradation for the new impacts are only 46 feet.
