4. Project Description and History
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 proposed project is the improvement of the US 70 (South Church Street) intersection at SR 1311 (University Drive) and widening of South Church Street to a multi -lane roadway
from east of University Drive to west of SR 1309 (Westbrook Ave). The project includes the installation of multi -use paths and sidewalks throughout a majority of the project corridor, as
well as signal improvements with pedestrian signals and high -visibility crosswalks.
This project includes two existing box culverts at stream crossings along US 70 and SR 1311. Due to the widening of US 70 and SR 1311, both existing box culverts require extensions.
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:

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

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the proposed project is to improve traffic operations by providing additional capacity and improve pedestrian and bicycle access.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The first existing culvert, a 2@7'x7' (7'x8' Downstream) Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert beneath US 70 requires extensions both upstream and downstream. As part of this culvert
extension, an additional 1@8'x7' RCBC will be constructed parallel to the existing 2@7'x7' RCBC. The proposed Vx7' RCBC replaces an existing 72" Reinforced Concrete Pipe. The
extensions and culvert addition will require channel improvements both upstream and downstream. The channel improvements will smoothly tie the existing channel to the box culvert
extensions and addition. The second existing culvert, a 2@8'x6' Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert beneath SR 1311 requires extensions downstream. The northern most barrel has a 2'
concrete sill and is backfilled with native material to allowfor animal passage and flowconveyance during storm events. A 2' sill will be constructed in the northern barrel extension. CL II
Riprap will be used downstream as bank stabilization. All major structures have been designed to have as little environmental and surface water impacts as possible. The proposed
project is not expected to result in indirect or cumulative adverse impacts to the environment. Typical road construction equipment, such as trucks, dozers, cranes, and asphalt
equipment, will be used for this project.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1.18MB
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The proposed project requires the extension of existing culverts under US 70 and SR 1311, and the replacement of a concrete pipe with a box culvert
under US 70. Roadway approach work is minimized as much as is practical to reduce the overall project footprint. The extensions and culvert addition
will require channel improvements both upstream and downstream. The channel
improvements will smoothly tie the existing channel to the box culvert extensions and addition. At Site 2, a 2' sill will be constructed in the northern
barrel extension. CL II Riprap will be used downstream as bank stabilization. All major structures have been designed to have as little environmental
and surface water impacts as possible. Impacts to the associated protected riparian buffers have also been reduced by promoting sheet flow. The
project proposes new pavement, which will contribute to the existing drainage area and the ditch velocities. Bank stabilization Will be minimized to those
areas where deemed necessary.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Erosion and sedimentation BMPs will be installed prior to construction. Construction has been sequenced and designed to avoid/minimize impacts by
locating temporary diversion channels away from features. Water will be diverted around the work area to prevent sedimentation of downstream
aquatic resources. Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of surface waters, restrictions
against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US and coordination Wth appropriate environmental staff.
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:
Impacts to wetlands total 0.05 acre, and permanent impact to Ingle Branch is 136 If, SA impacts total 94 If, and SD impacts total 74 If. Given that these impacts are minimal and the
project is extending existing culverts or replacing existing pipe, we are proposing no compensatory mitigation be required for these impacts.
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
What type of SCM are you providing?

r Level Spreader
r Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
r Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
r Other SCM that removes minimum 30% nitrogen
W Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
