4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
The general land use in the vicinity of the project is public within the right-of-way for 1-40. The adjacent parcels to the East and west of 1-40 on the New Hanover County side of the
project are zoned residential and industrial. On the Fender County side of the project, the adjacent parcels are zone also zoned a mix of residential and industrial. There have been
ongoing erosion issues on site since Hurricane Florence 2018 which heavily disturbed the road embankments and shoulders and damaged numerous sections of the existing
stormwater system.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
r Yes r No r Unknown
4d. Attach an 8 1/2 X 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the USGS topographic map indicating the location of the project site. (for DWR)

4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
5.05
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
380
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*

The proposed project will not provide any changes to the function of the existing highway facility but will better equip the system to withstand future storm events.The purpose of the
proposed project is to address the drainage and erosion issues caused by 2018 Hurricane Florence and bring the drainage and slope stabilization up to current standards for this
section of 1-40. Grated drop inlet systems are proposed to replace existing funnel and funnel drain systems for roadway drainage. Proposed rock plating is proposed to repair and
stabilize damaged roadway shoulders and embankments.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
There are 0.467 of permanent wetland impacts proposed which are necessary for the placement and keying in of the proposed rock plating so that the road shoulders and
embankments can meet current standards for slope stability. The proposed permanent wetland impacts also account for proposed riprap dissipation pads associated with the upgraded
storm drains. The permit drawings identify proposed areas of hand clearing in wetlands which will be necessary for the installation of erosion control measures and placement of matting
in areas where equipment may need to access for the construction of the rock plating. Equipment to be used includes excavators, cranes, dump trucks, steam rollers, and other paving
equipment.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

2h. Comments:
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation U
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Instead of building out shoulders to a slope of 3:1 to provide stability we proposed to rock plating the existing shoulders with slopes ranging from 1.5:1
to 3:1 ( See Permit Drawing Cross Sections).
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
In place of mechanized clearing which would expedite project construction but increase overall wetland impacts, we proposed only hand clearing for
the installation of erosion control measures and toe of slope work. NCDOT will implement BMPs in accordance with the NCDOT BMP Manual and will
strictly adhere to all permit conditions.
