17. DIRECTIONS TO THE SITE
From Raleigh,take I-40 West towards I-440 North.After about 2.5 miles,take exit 295 for Gorman Street. Turn left onto Gorman Street,
then a right onto Tryon Road. Stay on Tryon Road for about 2 miles,then turn left onto Holly Springs Road. The Site is located at the
intersection of Sunset Lake Road,about 6.5 miles down Holly Springs Road.
18. Nature of Activity(Description of project, include all features)
The Town of Holly Springs is proposing to widen approximately 1.5 miles of the existing Holly Springs Road from Flint Point Lane to
Sunset Lake Road.This Project is approximately 1-mile northeast of downtown Holly Springs in western Wake County.
Holly Springs Road Widening—Phase 2 proposes widening the roadway to a four-lane,median divided,typical section with eight-foot
sidewalks and curb and gutter on both sides.The inside travel lanes are proposed to be 12 feet wide with wider 14-foot outside lanes which
will be marked as shared use bike lanes.The existing roadway varies in width from a minimum of a two-lane undivided shoulder section to
a fully developed four-lane median divided typical section with sidewalks which would be upgraded to the proposed 8-foot width.Holly
Springs Road Widening—Phase 2 is currently a locally funded Project through the Town of Holly Springs transportation bond. The existing
triple barrel box culvert carrying Middle Creek beneath Holly Springs Road will be removed&replaced with a three-span, 150-foot bridge.
19. Project Purpose(Describe the reason or purpose of the project,see instructions)
The purpose of the Project is to improve vehicular,pedestrian,and bicyclist mobility along the corridor. This segment of Holly Springs
Road is congested and is anticipated to experience an increased growth in traffic once NC 540 connects to Holly Springs Road with a new
interchange.Holly Springs Road serves as a critical transportation corridor which connects northeastern Holly Springs and points north
such as Cary and Raleigh with downtown Holly Springs.Variation in the typical section leads to driver confusion and is inconsistent with
local plans. Other projects propose to widen Holly Springs Road to four lanes adjacent to this segment:NC 540 Extension(R-2721)north
of Sunset Lake Road and Holly Spring Road Phase I(U-6094)south of Flint Point Lane.Existing sidewalks on this segment of Holly
Springs Road are intermittent and of varying widths and materials,and this Project will provide additional sidewalk consistent with the
Town's transportation plan.
USE BLOCKS 20-23 IF DREDGED AND/OR FILL MATERIAL IS TO BE DISCHARGED
20. Reason(s)for Discharge
Development of the Project would result in permanent wetland impacts due to the construction of the roadway crossing,fill slopes,and
bridge approaches/supports within wetlands WA,WB,WC,WD,and WE.The Project would result in permanent stream and riparian
buffer zone impacts due to the construction of the roadway crossing,fill slopes,and bridge approaches over perennial stream S 1,and
intermittent and perennial portions of stream S2,and Middle Creek. Permanent impacts to Middle Creek will be limited to no net loss
impacts resulting from the removal of the existing culverts and stabilization of the stream banks beneath the proposed bridge. Additional
permanent,no net loss impacts will result from keyed-in outlet protection in stream S2.There is no net loss of waters associated with the
Middle Creek or S2 outlet protection impacts.

Location:
The Town of Holly Springs is proposing to widen approximately 1.5 miles of the existing Holly
Springs Road from Flint Point Lane to Sunset Lake Road in Holly Springs, Wake County, North
Carolina. This Project is located approximately 1-mile northeast of downtown Holly Springs in
western Wake County,North Carolina.
Applicant's Stated Purpose:
The purpose of the project is to improve vehicular, pedestrian, and bicyclist mobility along the
Holly Springs Road corridor. This existing segment of Holly Springs Road is congested and is
anticipated to experience growth in traffic once NC 540 connects to Holly Springs Road with a
new interchange. Holly Springs Road serves as a critical transportation corridor connecting
northeastern Holly Springs and points north such as Cary and Raleigh with downtown Holly
Springs.Variation in the typical section throughout the Holly Springs Road corridor leads to driver
confusion and is inconsistent with local plans. Other projects propose to widen Holly Springs Road
to four lanes adjacent to this segment: NC 540 Extension(R-2721)north of Sunset Lake Road and
Holly Spring Road Phase I(U-6094)south of Flint Point Lane. Sidewalks on this segment of Holly
Springs Road are intermittent and of varying widths and materials.

Project Description:
Holly Springs Road Widening—Phase 2 proposes to widen Holly Springs Road from Flint Point
Lane to Sunset Lake Road. Phase 1 of the Holly Springs Road Widening is being completed as
NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) State Transportation Improvement Program Project
U-6094 which proposes to widen Holly Springs Road from east of NC 55 (Main Street) to Flint
Point Lane and is estimated to begin construction in fiscal year 2021. The U-6094 project received
federal funds through the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization's Locally
Administered Projects Program in cooperation with NCDOT.
Both phases of the Holly Springs Road Widening propose widening the roadway to a four-lane,
median divided, typical section with eight-foot sidewalks and curb and gutter on both sides. The
inside travel lanes are proposed to be 12 feet wide with wider 14-foot outside lanes which will be
marked as shared use bike lanes. The existing roadway varies in width from a minimum of a two-
lane undivided shoulder typical section to a fully developed four-lane median divided typical
section with sidewalks which will be upgraded to the proposed 8-foot width. The preferred typical
section would provide enhanced pedestrian mobility with additional sidewalks for area residents
while enhancing safety in the corridor by reducing the access points and reducing conflict points.
Holly Springs Road Widening—Phase 2 is currently a locally funded project through the Town of
Holly Springs transportation bond.
Existing Site Conditions:
The approximately 40-acre Project corridor and its vicinity are comprised of moderately dense
commercial development and residential areas scattered throughout a suburban landscape. In
addition to commercial and residential development, the corridor includes institutional and
recreational facilities and forested areas adjacent to Middle Creek. The proposed Project is located
within the Town of Holly Springs and currently has five different land-use zoning types denoted
by Wake County. These zones include: R-10: Residential, R-15: Residential, R-20: Residential,
LB: Local Business and PUD: Planned Unit Development.
The Project is located in the Neuse River Basin [U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 8-digit
Hydrologic Unit Code(HUC): 03020201].
There is an existing triple barrel 10'x 9'Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert(RCBC)carrying Middle
Creek beneath Holly Springs Road. In order to facilitate the widening of Holly Springs Road,
modifications to the existing culvert are required. In addition, the roadway approaches to the
crossing are at approximately the same elevation as the adjacent floodplains.As such,the roadway
is frequently overtopped by Middle Creek during storm events, forcing the Town and NCDOT to
close the road to traffic. Based on the FEMA hydraulic models, the 10-year storm event overtops
the roadway. The road closure creates life-safety issues as first responders from the fire and police
departments near Flint Point Lane cannot access points east of the Middle Creek crossing.
In addition to Middle Creek, two other streams were identified within the Project, totaling
approximately 1,187 linear feet(LF) (Figure 5.0-5.3). Intermittent and perennial stream features
within the Project are subject to the Neuse River Basin Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0233)
administered by the NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR). In the Buffer Determination
iii

Letter dated January 10, 2020, Rob Ridings of the NCDWR confirmed that all three streams
identified within the Project are subject to jurisdiction under Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules.
In an email dated January 31,2020,James Lastinger of the USACE confirmed the field delineation
conducted by Kimley-Horn. The Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination letter is pending.
USACE and NCDWR agency correspondence is included in Appendix D.
Protected Species:
As of July 17, 2020, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists six federally threatened or
endangered species protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) known to occur in Wake
County, including Cape Fear shiner (Notropis mekistocholas), red-cockaded woodpecker
(Picoides borealis), dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), Tar-River spinymussel
(Parvaspina steinstansana), yellow lance (Elliptio lanceolata), and Michaux's sumac (Rhus
michauxxii). Bald eagle is also known to occur in Wake County and is protected by the Bald and
Golden Eagle Protection Act(BGPA).
ESA Federally Protected Species Listed for Wake County,NC
Species Common Name Federal
Status
_Eretmochelys imbricata Cape Fear shiner E _
Picoides borealis Red-cockaded woodpecker E _
Alasmidonta heterodon Dwarf wedgemussel E —
Parvaspina steinstansana Tar River spinymussel E
Elliptio lanceolata Yellow lance T —
Rhus michauxxii Michaux's sumac E
E—Endangered
T—Threatened
Kimley-Horn biologists conducted pedestrian surveys for Michaux's sumac within areas of
suitable habitat on October 17, 2019 and October 20, 2019, and no individuals were observed.
Detailed results of the habitat evaluations and biological conclusions are included in Section 1.3.9.
In summary, the biological conclusion for all federally-listed threatened or endangered species
known to occur in Wake County is "No Effect" for the Holly Springs Road Widening— Phase 2
Project.
Additionally, potential habitat for bald eagle is present within two nearby water bodies (Sunset
Lake and Bass Lake) large enough or sufficiently open to be considered potential feeding sources.
Foraging habitat is present within the Project, therefore a survey of the Project and the area within
660 feet of the Project limits was conducted on January 30,2020.No bald eagle nests or individuals
were observed. As such, it has been determined that there will be "No Effect" on bald eagle.
Correspondence from the USFWS concurring with these "No Effect" determinations is included
in Appendix D.
Cultural Resources:
A review of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office(SHPO)HPOWEB GIS Service
database, performed on July 29, 2020, identified four historic resources located within 1.0 mile of
the Project. In addition, sixty-one other historical resources currently listed as "Survey Only" or
iv

"Survey Only, gone" were identified in or within 1.0 mile of the Project. However, based on the
general land use within the Project and within the vicinity of the Project, and due to the nature of
the proposed activity, it is anticipated that the Project is not likely to have any effect on these
resources. Correspondence from SHPO concurring with the no-effect determination is included in
Appendix D.
Proposed Impacts:
Impacts to jurisdictional streams and wetlands have been avoided and minimized to the extent
practical within the Project. Unavoidable impacts associated with the Project include 0.69 acre of
permanent wetland impacts, 494 LF of permanent stream impacts, 196 LF of permanent-no loss
stream impacts(outlet protection and bank stabilization), and 48,131 square feet(SF)of permanent
riparian buffer impacts. Permit drawings displaying the extent of these proposed impacts are
included in Appendix B.
Mitigation:
The Town of Holly Springs proposes to provide mitigation for all permanent stream and wetland
impacts within the Project by purchasing compensatory mitigation credits through multiple third-
party mitigation bankers. The Statements of Availability from the mitigation banks are included
in Appendix G.
Other Required Authorizations:
Other required authorizations will be obtained prior to construction of the proposed work. These
authorizations include:
• Individual 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) from NCDWR,
• Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Authorization from NCDWR,
• Stormwater Permit and Sediment and Erosion Control Permit (includes a NPDES General
Stormwater Permit) from the Wake County Public Utility Department,
• Project Plan Approval from the Town of Holly Springs, and
• Driveway and Encroachment Permits from NCDOT.

1.0 THE APPLICANT/PROJECT OVERVIEW, LOCATION, EXISTING SITE
CONDITIONS, PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1.1 The Applicant/Project Overview
This document is intended to provide supplementary information in support of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) preparation of the Public Notice, Environmental
Assessment, Finding of No Significant Impact, Statement of Findings, and Review and
Compliance Determination according to the 404(b)(1) guidelines for the proposed
Holly Springs Road Widening - Phase 2 of Holly Springs, Wake County, North
Carolina.
1.2 Project Location
The Town of Holly Springs is proposing to widen approximately 1.5 miles of the
existing Holly Springs Road from Flint Point Lane to Sunset Lake Road. This Project
is approximately 1-mile northeast of downtown Holly Springs in western Wake
County.
1.3 Existing Site Conditions
1.3.1 Land Use
The approximately 40-acre Project is composed of moderately dense commercial
development and residential areas scattered throughout a suburban landscape. In
addition to commercial and residential development, the corridor includes
institutional and recreational facilities and forested areas adjacent to Middle Creek.
Commercial, institutional and single-family home property parcels and associated
structures are located within the Project. The Project is located in the Neuse River
Basin (U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 8-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC):
03020201). Three streams were identified within the Project, totaling
approximately 1,206 linear feet (LF) (Figures 5.0-5.3).
1.3.2 Topography
The Project is located in the Piedmont physiographic region of North Carolina. A
review of the Apex, North Carolina USGS topographic quadrangle map indicates
that the Project and surrounding areas have moderate topographic relief, with
elevations ranging from 310 to 450 feet above mean sea level (MSL) (Figure 2).
In general, the Project slopes up on both sides of the Middle Creek riparian zone.
Multiple hill tops and crenulations exist throughout the Project.

1.3.3 Jurisdictional Features
Figure 5 shows the delineated jurisdictional areas evaluated by Kimley-Horn staff
on October 10, October 17, and November 5, 2019. In an email dated January 31,
2020, James Lastinger of the USACE confirmed the field delineation conducted by
Kimley-Horn. The Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination letter is pending.
USACE agency correspondence is included in Appendix D. Based upon the North
Carolina Wetland Assessment Methodology (NCWAM) classification system,
there are two types of wetland systems located within the Project, four bottomland
hardwood forest wetlands (approximately 1.38 acres) and one headwater wetland
(approximately 0.02 acres).
Three stream features are mapped within the Project according to the most-recent
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey for Wake County
(Figure 4).During the field investigations, Kimley-Horn staff determined that these
three streams were present within the Project. Additional information relating to
the delineated streams within the Project are included below in Table 1. Rob
Ridings of the NC Division of Water Resources(NCDWR) confirmed that all three
streams within the Project are subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules in
a Buffer Determination Letter received on January 10, 2020 (Appendix D).

In accordance with Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act, states are required to
develop a list of water bodies not meeting federal water quality standards or that
have impaired uses. Middle Creek, within the Project, is listed on the North
Carolina 2018 Final 303(d)list of impaired waters for having a"Benthos(Nar,AL,
FW)"rating of"Fair" (Category 5).
There are no water supply watersheds, Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), or
High-Quality Waters (HQW) within the Project or within 1.0 mile downstream of
the Project.
The following paragraphs describe the wetlands that were delineated within the
Project and are displayed on the attached Figure 5.
2

Wetlands WA (0.16 acre), WB (0.82 acre), WC(0.32 acre), and WD(0.08 acre) are
bottomland hardwood forest wetlands located within the active floodplain of
Middle Creek. These wetlands receive hydrology from a combination of overbank
flooding from Middle Creek, stormwater drainage, and groundwater. Hummocked
topography was observed throughout these wetlands. Throughout all four wetlands,
soils were found to be saturated at a depth of approximately 10 inches and the water
table was observed at a depth of approximately 20 inches. Hydrologic indicators
such as water-stained leaves, dry-season water table, and a FAC-Neutral test were
observed within all four wetlands. The dominant trees/shrubs observed at the
wetland data form location included red maple (Acer rube um), musclewood
(Carpinus caroliniana), and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Dominant
species observed in the herbaceous layer typically included giant cane(Arundinaria
gigantea) and various sedges (Carex spp.).
Wetland WE is a 0.02-acre linear headwater wetland that originates at the toe of a
hillside and drains downslope into the adjacent stream Si. This wetland receives
hydrology from stormwater drainage and seepage from the adjacent hillside.
Saturation was observed at a depth of 4 inches and the water table was observed at
a depth of 6 inches below the soil surface. Hydrologic indicators such as sediment
deposits, water-stained leaves, surface soil cracks, drainage patterns, crayfish
burrows, and FAC-Neutral test were observed within WE. The dominant shrubs
observed at the wetland data form location were Chinese privet (Ligustrum
sinense), and Virginia sweetspire (Itea virginica). Dominant species observed in
the herbaceous layer typically included various sedges (Carex spp) and Japanese
stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum). A dense gravel layer was observed at a depth
of 10 inches below the soil surface, possibly indicating the feature is a relic stream
channel.

1.3.4 North Carolina Wetland Assessment Method (NCWAM)
NCWAM Version 5 was utilized for the Project. Assessment methodology
evaluated the following three major wetland functions and associated sub-
functions: 1)hydrology (surface storage and retention and sub-surface storage and
retention), 2) water quality (pathogen change, particulate change, soluble change,
physical change, and pollution change), and 3) habitat (physical structure,
landscape patch structure, and vegetation composition). Functional ratings are
applied to each wetland assessment area in comparison to reference conditions of
one of the sixteen North Carolina general wetland types.
Field evaluations of representative wetland assessment areas within each of the five
delineated wetlands were conducted on April 17, 2020. Data collected during this
Project evaluation, as well as the extensive data collected during the wetland
delineation efforts were utilized as part of the NCWAM evaluation.
The following table summarizes the results of the NCWAM analysis for the five
wetlands evaluated in the Project. NCWAM data forms are included in Appendix
F.

In summary, the four wetland types observed within the Project are bottomland
hardwood forests (wetlands WA, WB, WC and WD) and headwater wetlands
(WE).The bottomland hardwood forested wetlands within the Project had a"High"
overall wetland rating due to their geomorphic position within the floodplain of
Middle Creek and their general connectivity to the landscape. The headwater
wetland scored a "High" overall wetland rating due to its strong connectivity to
stream S 1 and hydrologic function. Photographs of the two wetland types within
the Project are included in Appendix C.
1.3.5 North Carolina Stream Assessment Method (NCSAM)
NCSAM Version 2.1 was utilized to evaluate the level of function of the streams
identified within the Project. The assessment methodology evaluates the following
three primary stream functions and associated sub-functions: 1) hydrology
(baseflow and flood flow), 2) water quality (baseflow, streamside area vegetation,
indicators of stressors, and aquatic life tolerance), and 3) habitat(in-stream habitat
and stream-side habitat). Functional ratings are applied to each stream assessment
reach in comparison to reference conditions of one of the twenty-nine North
Carolina general stream types.

Field evaluations of representative stream reaches within each of the three
delineated streams were conducted on April 17, 2020. Data collected during this
Project evaluation, as well as the extensive data collected during the stream
delineation efforts were utilized as part of the NCSAM evaluation.
The following table summarizes the results of the NCSAM analysis for the three
stream reaches evaluated in the Project. NCSAM data forms are included in
Appendix F.

In summary, streams S1 and Middle Creek within the Project scored a "High"
overall stream rating due to their strong hydrologic connectivity and hydrologic
function. Stream S2 scored a"Low"overall stream rating due to its lack of biology
and lack of flow within the reach. Photographs of the streams located within the
Project are included in Appendix C.
1.3.6 Soils
Based on information obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) NRCS Soil Survey for Wake County, the soils within the Project are
composed of eight soil series. Table 5 summarizes the characteristics of each soil
series within the Project.

1.3.7 Vegetation
The 40-acre Project is composed of moderately dense commercial development and
residential areas scattered throughout a suburban landscape. Three terrestrial
communities were identified within the Project. Terrestrial community data are
presented in the context of total coverage of each type within the Project(Table 6).

Wetland communities within these forested areas included bottomland hardwood
forests and a headwater wetland system. Brief descriptions of theses wetland
communities, as well as common species observed in each community type, are
provided below. Photographs of vegetation within these wetland types are included
in Appendix C.
Bottomland Hardwood Forest
Within the bottomland hardwood forest community, the canopy is dominated by
red maple (Acer rubrum), willow oak (Quercus phellos), musclewood (Carpinus
caroliniana), and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Common understory
species observed include sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), American holly
(Ilex opaca), water oak (Quercus nigra) and musclewood (Carpinus caroliniana).
Common species observed in the herbaceous layer typically included giant cane
(Arundinaria gigantea), various sedges (Carex spp), false nettle (Boehmeria
cylindrica), and lizard's tail(Saururus cernuus).
Headwater Wetland
Within the headwater wetland community, the common understory vegetation is
dominated by Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), and Virginia sweetspire (Itea
virginica). Common species observed in the herbaceous layer included giant cane
(Arundinaria gigantea), various sedges (Carex spp), Japanese stiltgrass
(Microstegium vimineum), and southern-lady fern (Athyrium asplenioides).
1.3.8 CAMA Regulated Areas
The Project is located in Wake County and is therefore not subject to regulation by
the NC Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM) under the Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA).
1.3.9 Protected Species and Habitat
As of July 17,2020,the US Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS)lists six threatened
or endangered species protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) known
to occur in Wake County. Bald eagle is also known to occur in Wake County and
is protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act(BGPA). A review of the
North Carolina Natural Heritage Program(NCNHP)database records(updated July
2020) indicates there are no known occurrences of any federally protected species
in or within 1.0 mile of the Project. For each species, a discussion of the presence
or absence of habitat is included below, along with biological conclusion (Table
7).

E—Endangered;T—Threatened
The Cape Fear shiner is known only from the Cape Fear River watershed.
Potentially suitable habitat for Cape Fear shiner is present within Middle Creek.
While Middle Creek could provide potential Cape Fear shiner habitat, the Project
is not within the Cape Fear River Basin, the Cape Fear shiner's only known range.
In addition, a review of the NCNHP database records(updated July 2020) indicates
there are no known occurrences of the Cape Fear shiner in or within 1.0 mile of the
Project. Due to the disconnect from the known range and the lack of known
occurrences, it has been determined that the proposed Project would have "No
Effect" on the Cape Fear shiner.
Suitable habitat for red-cockaded woodpecker(RCW)is present in the mature pines
located in and along the golf course adjacent to the Project. Kimley-Horn biologists
conducted pedestrian surveys in areas of suitable habitat on October 17, 2019, and
no RCW individuals or nests were observed. In addition, a review of the NCNHP
database records (updated July 2020) indicates there are no known occurrences of
RCW in or within 1.0 mile of the Project. Due to lack of known occurrences and
lack of observed individuals, it has been determined that the proposed Project
would have "No Effect" on RCW.
Suitable habitat for the dwarf wedgemussel is present within the Project in Middle
Creek. However, streams within the Project are separated from the nearest known
dwarf wedgemussel population by Sunset Lake and dam, a man-made
impoundment of Middle Creek. A review of the NCNHP database records(updated
July 2020) indicates there are no known occurrences of dwarf wedgemussel in or
within 1.0 mile of the Project. According to NCNHP database records, the nearest
known population of dwarf wedgemussel is located approximately 14 miles
downstream in Middle Creek. In addition, the Project proposes to remove the
existing culvert crossing over Middle Creek and install a bridge which will only
improve any potential mussel habitat within the Project. Due to the disconnect from
known populations, the lack of known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study
area, the distance from the nearest known occurrence, and the temporary and
minimal adverse impacts anticipated from the Project, it has been determined that
the proposed Project would have "No Effect" on the dwarf wedgemussel.
9

Suitable habitat for the Tar River spinymussel is present within the Project in
Middle Creek. However, streams within the Project are separated from the nearest
known Tar River spinymussel population by Sunset Lake and dam, a man-made
impoundment of Middle Creek. A review of the NCNHP database records (updated
July 2020) indicates there are no known occurrences of Tar River spinymussel in
or within 1.0 mile of the Project. According to NCNHP database records, the
nearest known population of Tar River spinymussel is located approximately 43
miles downstream in the Neuse River. In addition, the Project proposes to remove
the existing culvert crossing over Middle Creek and install a bridge which will only
improve any potential mussel habitat within the Project. Due to the disconnect from
known populations, the lack of known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study
area, the distance from the nearest known occurrence, and the temporary and
minimal adverse impacts anticipated from the Project, it has been determined that
the proposed Project would have "No Effect" on the Tar River spinymussel.
Suitable habitat for the yellow lance is present within the Project in Middle Creek.
However, streams within the Project are separated from the nearest known yellow
lance population by Sunset Lake and dam, a man-made impoundment of Middle
Creek. A review of the NCNHP database records (updated July 2020) indicates
there are no known occurrences of yellow lance in or within 1.0 mile of the Project.
According to NCNHP database records, the nearest known population of yellow
lance is located approximately 17 miles downstream in Middle Creek. In addition,
the Project proposes to remove the existing culvert crossing over Middle Creek and
install a bridge which will only improve any potential mussel habitat within the
project area. Due to the disconnect from known populations, the lack of known
occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area, the distance from the nearest known
occurrence, and the temporary and minimal adverse impacts anticipated from the
Project, it has been determined that the proposed Project would have "No Effect"
on the yellow lance.
Potentially suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac exists along maintained park and
yard edges, as well as along roadside and utility corridors within the Project.
Although these areas provide potentially suitable habitat, the regular mowing
maintenance schedule and herbicide application within these areas would likely
inhibit the plant's success. Kimley-Horn biologists conducted pedestrian surveys
for Michaux's sumac within areas of suitable habitat on October 17, 2019 and
October 20, 2019, and no individuals were observed. In addition, a review of the
NCNHP database records (updated July 2020) indicates there are no known
occurrences of Michaux's sumac in or within 1.0 mile of the Project. Due to the
lack of recorded occurrences and the lack of observed individuals, it has been
determined that the proposed Project would have"No Effect"on Michaux's sumac.
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
The bald eagle is protected under the BGPA, enforced by the USFWS. Habitat for
the bald eagle primarily consists of mature forest in proximity to large bodies of
10

open water for foraging. Large dominant trees are utilized for nesting sites,
typically within 1.0 mile of open water.
A desktop-Geographic Information Systems (GIS) assessment of the Project, as
well as the area within a 1.13-mile radius (1.0 mile plus 660 feet) of the Project
limits, was performed in October 2019 using 2017 color aerials. Two water bodies
(Sunset Lake and Bass Lake) large enough or sufficiently open to be considered
potential feeding sources were identified. Foraging habitat is present within the
Project, therefore a survey of the Project and the area within 660 feet of the Project
limits was conducted on January 30, 2020. No bald eagle nests or individuals were
observed. Additionally, a review of the NCNHP database records (updated July
2020) indicates there are no known occurrences of the bald eagle within 1.0 mile
of the Project. Due to the lack of habitat, the lack of known occurrences, and the
minimal impact anticipated for this Project, it has been determined that this Project
would not affect the bald eagle.
A consultation letter was submitted to the USFWS in regard to the FEMA Certified
Letter of Map Revision(CLOMR)required for the Project. The USFWS concurred
that the Project is not likely to have any adverse effect on federally protected
species. Additionally, scoping letters were submitted to the USFWS and NCWRC
to solicit comments regarding protected species impacts resulting from the Project.
A copy of the USFWS CLMOR concurrence letter and the scoping responses from
the USFWS and NCWRC are included in Appendix D.
1.3.10 Historical and/or Archaeological Sites
A review of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)
HPOWEB GIS Service database, performed on July 29, 2020, identified four
historic resources located within 1.0 mile of the Project:
• Holly Springs Masonic Lodge (National Register), located approximately
0.75 miles southwest of the proposed Project in downtown Holly Springs
• Leslie-Alford-Mims House (National Register), located approximately 0.88
miles southwest of the proposed Project in downtown Holly Springs
• Holly Springs Historic District (Study Listed Historic District), located
approximately 0.76 miles southwest of the proposed Project in downtown
Holly Springs
• Grigsby Avenue — South Main Street Historic District (Study Listed
Historic District), located approximately 0.90 miles southwest of the
proposed Project in downtown Holly Springs
Sixty-one other historical resources currently listed as "Survey Only" or "Survey
Only, gone" were found in and within 1.0-mile of the Project. However, based on
11

the general land use within the Project and within the vicinity of the Project, and
due to the nature of the proposed activity, it is anticipated that the Project is not
likely to have any effect on these resources. Correspondence from SHPO
concurring with the no-effect determination is included in Appendix D.
1.3.11 Regulated Floodplain
A review of the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Information System(accessed
July 29, 2020) indicates that the Project contains 0.2% Annual Flood Hazards
Zones, 1% Annual Flood Hazards (Zone AE) Zones, and FEMA-regulated
floodways associated with Middle Creek, as designated by FEMA (FEMA Flood
maps panel 3720065900J [effective May 2, 2006]). A CLOMR from the FEMA
Floodplain Manager is being pursued as part of the Project and will be received
prior to construction.
1.3.12 Zoning
The existing Town of Holly Springs zoning designations within the Project corridor
include property parcels zoned as: R-10: Residential, R-15: Residential, R-20:
Residential, LB: Local Business and PUD: Planned Unit Development. The Town
of Holly Springs Comprehensive Plan, adopted October 2019, includes Future
Land Use&Community Character Plan updates. The Future Land Use map depicts
the property parcels within the Project corridor as converting to updated zoning
descriptions including primarily residential neighborhoods, mixed residential
neighborhoods, neighborhood centers, mixed-use centers, and natural areas
surrounding Middle Creek.
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Town of Holly Springs is proposing to widen approximately 1.5 miles of the existing
Holly Springs Road from Flint Point Lane to Sunset Lake Road. This Project is approximately
1-mile northeast of downtown Holly Springs in western Wake County.
Holly Springs Road Widening—Phase 2 proposes widening the roadway to a four-lane,median
divided, typical section with eight-foot sidewalks and curb and gutter on both sides. The inside
travel lanes are proposed to be 12 feet wide with wider 14-foot outside lanes which will be
marked as shared use bike lanes. The existing roadway varies in width from a minimum of a
two-lane undivided shoulder section to a fully developed four-lane median divided typical
section with sidewalks which would be upgraded to the proposed 8-foot width. Holly Springs
Road Widening —Phase 2 is currently a locally funded Project through the Town of Holly
Springs transportation bond.
12

2.1 Land Ownership
The approximately 40-acre subject property includes a roadway and seventy-seven(77)
different property parcels owned by sixty (60) different property owners. The Project
is currently composed of moderately dense commercial development and residential
areas scattered throughout a suburban landscape. In addition to commercial and
residential development, the corridor includes institutional facilities, recreational
facilities, and forested areas adjacent to Middle Creek.
The names and addresses of each adjacent property owner, as well as a map depicting
the location of the adjacent parcels, are included in Appendix E.
2.2 Construction Sequence
The overall Holly Springs Road Widening project is a phased Project. Phase 2,
described in this application, proposes to widen Holly Springs Road from Flint Point
Lane to Sunset Lake Road. Phase 1 of the Holly Springs Road Widening is being
completed as NCDOT State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Project U-
6094 which proposes to widen Holly Springs Road from east of NC 55 (Main Street)
to Flint Point Lane and is estimated to being construction in the fiscal year 2021. No
impacts to jurisdictional resources are proposed by U-6094.
2.3 Proposed Impacts
The Applicant believes that the Preferred Alternative both satisfies the Project Purpose
and Need and is the Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative
(LEDPA). Accepting this, it's clear that impacts to Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) are
unavoidable due to their proximity to the existing roadway. As such,the Applicant has
provided permit drawings showing proposed impact types, locations, and quantities.
Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands are avoided and minimized to the extent practical.
However, permanent impacts to jurisdictional areas are unavoidable. These
unavoidable permanent impacts within the Project are necessary for construction of the
Project, including total permanent impacts of 494 LF of intermittent and perennial
streams, 0.69 acres of impacts to wetlands and 48,131 SF of riparian buffer impacts
(31,605 SF Zone 1, 16,526 SF Zone 2) within the Project. The LEDPA would also
result in 196 LF of permanent stream impact with no loss of waters associated with
outlet protection on stream S2 and bank stabilization along Middle Creek beneath the
bridge. Temporary impacts associated with the LEDPA total 16 LF of stream
disturbance, 0.064 acre of wetland disturbance, and 6,981 square feet of buffer
disturbance (2,128 square feet in Zone 1, 4,853 square feet in Zone 2).
13

Each permanent and temporary impact area is depicted in the attached Permit Drawings
(Appendix B) and summarized in Table 8.

Mitigation ratios are proposed based on the NCWAM and NCSAM functional
assessments conducted by Kimley-Horn scientists, discussed in Sections 1.3.4 and
1.3.5 above. Streams S1 and Middle Creek within the Project were found to have a
NCSAM rating of "High" and stream S2 within the Project was found to have a
NCSAM rating of"Low". All five wetlands within the Project were found to have an
NCWAM rating of "High". Additional detail on mitigation ratios and proposed
compensation for these impacts is discussed in Section 8.0 below.
2.4 Stormwater Quality Controls
The Holly Springs Road Widening - Phase 2 is designed per the North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and
Design Manual as well as the NC Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources
(NCDEMLR) Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. Additional
information on stormwater quality controls associated with the Project can be found in
Section 6.2-6.3.
3.0 THE PUBLIC NEED
The public need for the Project is fundamentally a result of existing traffic congestion and the
importance of Holly Springs Road as a main connector within the Town of Holly Springs.
Holly Springs Road serves as a critical transportation corridor which connects northeastern
Holly Springs and points north such as Cary and Raleigh with downtown Holly Spring. The
current overtopping of Holly Springs Road by Middle Creek during even the 10-year storm
event presents frequent life safety concerns as Holly Springs Road is blocked and emergency
services cannot cross Middle Creek. Additionally, land use in the vicinity of the Project is
predominantly residential and commercial. Currently, pedestrian mobility is severely limited
through this corridor due to the lack of sidewalks and shoulders along Holly Springs Road.
Mobility improvements proposed by the Project will increase safety for the public in this
corridor.
15

4.0 PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED
The purpose of the Project is to improve vehicular,pedestrian, and bicyclist mobility along the
corridor. This segment of Holly Springs Road is congested and is anticipated to experience an
increased growth in traffic once NC 540 connects to Holly Springs Road with a new
interchange. Holly Springs Road serves as a critical transportation corridor which connects
northeastern Holly Springs and points north such as Cary and Raleigh with downtown Holly
Springs. Variation in the typical section leads to driver confusion and is inconsistent with local
plans. Other projects propose to widen Holly Springs Road to four lanes adjacent to this
segment:NC 540 Extension(R-2721)north of Sunset Lake Road and Holly Spring Road Phase
I (U-6094) south of Flint Point Lane. Existing sidewalks on this segment of Holly Springs
Road are intermittent and of varying widths and materials, and this Project will provide
additional sidewalk consistent with the Town's transportation plan.
5.0 SCOPE OF ANALYSIS
The proposed Project would serve as a critical transportation corridor between northeastern
Holly Springs and Main Street. The corridor is becoming increasingly congested and will
become more so once NC-540 is completed to Kildaire Farm Road. This Project will increase
the capacity, add dedicated bicycle facilities, and improve pedestrian connectivity within the
corridor. There are no practicable alternatives to the proposed plan that would further avoid or
minimize impacts to waters of the U.S., and the project would not meet the Town's purpose
and need but for the proposed impacts. The proposed Project includes impacts to jurisdictional
wetlands, streams, and Neuse River riparian buffers surrounding Middle Creek. Impacts to
these areas are essential to for the development of the Project as whole.
6.0 OTHER FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL AUTHORIZATIONS OBTAINED OR
REQUIRED AND PENDING
The Town of Holly Springs will obtain all permits and approvals required by federal, state, and
local laws and regulations prior to the construction and operation of the Facility.
6.1 State Water Quality (401) Certification and Riparian Buffer Authorization
The NCDWR Individual 401 Water Quality Certification and Riparian Buffer
Authorization application is submitted concurrent to this 404-permit application.
NCDWR will also review the proposed plans for compliance with Neuse River
Riparian Buffer Rule diffuse stormwater flow requirements.
16

6.2 Stormwater Permit
The Holly Springs Road Widening —Phase 2 is designed per the NCDOT Guidelines
for Drainage Studies and Hydraulic Design. The Project will apply for coverage under
the statewide NCDOT stormwater permit.
6.3 Sedimentation and Erosion Control Permit
The Holly Springs Road Widening—Phase 2 is designed per the NCDOT Erosion and
Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual and the NCDEMLR Erosion and
Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. The Project will apply for a
construction stormwater permit from NCDEMLR prior to construction.
6.4 Driveway Permit
The NCDOT will require a Driveway Permit for any new roads that connect to an
existing NCDOT right of way(ROW).An Encroachment Permit from NCDOT will be
required if roadway improvements are required for the Project within existing NCDOT
ROW.
7.0 PROJECT ALTERNATIVES/ALERNATIVES CONSIDERED
7.1 Avoidance (No Action, Uplands, and Availability of Other Sites):
7.1.1 No-Action Alternative:
The No-Action Alternative means that the Applicant's proposed Project would not
be implemented, and the resulting environmental effects from taking no action
would serve as a baseline from which to compare the effects of permitting the
proposed Project or an alternative to proceed. The No-Action Alternative does not
meet the Applicant's purpose and need for this Project and would result in
continued unsafe conditions,poor pedestrian and vehicular mobility, and continued
flooding and overtopping of Holly Springs Road by Middle Creek due to the
existing culvert remaining in place.
17

7.1.2 Off-Site Alternatives
Off-site alternatives were evaluated by the Town of Holly Springs. Holly Springs
Road is one of the only primary corridors between Holly Springs and points north
and east. Offsite alternatives are limited to NC 55 and US 401 for Holly Springs
Road. Drivers would access NC 55 to the west to circle around the entire Middle
Creek drainage area, or US 401 over 5 miles to the east of Holly Springs Road.
Under this alternative, there would be no additional environmental impacts as a
result of the Project., as no action would be taken. However, the off-site alternative
would not meet the Project's purpose and need, which is to improve pedestrian,
bicycle, and vehicle mobility and safety along Holly Springs Road.
7.1.3 Preferred (Practical) Alternative
In evaluating off-site,no-action, and on-site alternatives, Alternative 1A, described
in detail in Section 7.2, is the preferred alternative and the LEDPA. Alternative to
would result in 494 LF of permanent stream impacts, 196 LF of permanent stream
impacts with no loss of waters (outlet protection and bank stabilization beneath the
bridge), 0.69 acres of permanent wetland impacts, and 48,131 SF of permanent
riparian buffer impacts.
7.2 Minimization (Modified Project Designs, etc.)
7.2.1 On-Site Alternatives
The Town of Holly Springs has developed and evaluated several alternative
alignments for the Project (Appendix A). Initial concepts were developed and
revised in order to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional resources while
still meeting the Project's purpose and need. The existing typical section for Holly
Springs Road varies along the Project corridor from a 2-lane shoulder section to a
5-lane curb and gutter section. As stated previously, this inconsistent typical
roadway section leads to congestion and driver confusion, and varying sidewalk
facilities further complicates pedestrian access and reduces safety. Since the
purpose of the Project is to improve vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian mobility
along Holly Springs Road within the Project study area, the alternatives considered
focused on a 4-lane divided typical section throughout the Project corridor,
consistent with the Town of Holly Springs Comprehensive Transportation Plan.
Additionally, all alternatives must cross Middle Creek, so all alternatives result in
an improvement to the existing triple barrel box culvert (10' x 9' reinforced
concrete box culvert) that is undersized based on current hydraulic design
standards. The Town of Holly Springs has conducted extensive coordination with
18

NCDOT relating to the proposed bridge that will replace the existing triple barrel
box culvert. As a result of these efforts, the proposed bridge is approximately 150-
feet long, using 3-spans (40', 70', and 40') to carry 4-lanes with a sidewalk on the
south side. The proposed bridge elevation starts at approximately 4' of elevation
relative to the ground surface,reaching 16' high over Middle Creek,tying back into
the ground surface near Sunset Fairways Drive. All alternatives discussed below
utilize this same bridge footprint for purposes of comparing impacts.
Several different variations of the above alternatives were evaluated, such as a
longer bridge, the use of retaining walls, and bottomless culverts, but were not
progressed beyond concept stage due to either exceptionally high costs,
maintenance concerns, constructability issues, or not within NCDOT design
practices.
Given the extensive length of the Project along uplands and the existing
transportation facilities of Holly Springs Road,the Project corridor has been broken
down into three different"segments"for purposes of this alternatives analysis. The
segments defined below were generally broken out based on the nature of the
adjacent land use and/or the existing infrastructure in the corridor.
• Segment 1
o From the western project terminus at Flint Point Lane, to Linksland
Drive.
o This segment includes mostly residential and commercial
development on either side of the road with two schools.
o Portions of the Town's 4-lane divided typical section have been
constructed over the years as development has occurred along Holly
Springs Road consistent with the Town's Comprehensive
Transportation Plan.
• Segment 2
o From Linksland Drive to Sunset Fairways Road.
o This segment is less developed than other portions of the Project
corridor and crosses Middle Creek and the associated jurisdictional
features and floodplains. Land use is primarily wooded and/or
undeveloped, but the undeveloped area is surrounded by residential
developments, a golf course, and a closed/former municipal
landfill.
o The existing roadway is predominantly a 2-lane shoulder section
with several horizontal or vertical components that do not meet
current design standards.
19

• Segment 3
o From Sunset Fairways Road to the eastern project terminus at Sunset
Lake Road.
o This segment is fairly developed with mostly residential land uses
on both sides of the road.
o The existing roadway is a 2-lane section transitioning to a 4-lane
divided section at the intersection with Sunset Lake Road.
Since Segments 1 and 3 are located entirely in uplands and lack jurisdictional
resources and since they are largely utilizing existing infrastructure sections in the
final condition, the primary focus for alternative development in Segments 1 and 3
centered around the need to avoid property impacts. This afforded very little
variability in the design of Segments 1 and 3 while not having any effect on
jurisdictional resources. For this reason, the alternative analysis for the Project
focused on Segment 2 and was driven entirely by the evaluation of impacts to
jurisdictional features, adjacent property parcels, and the critical public safety
requirement for maintenance of traffic throughout construction.
The following table and discussion compare the jurisdictional impacts of the Project
alternatives considered in the Project design process. Figures showing the
alternative alignments, including the Preferred Alternative, are included in
Appendix A.

(Total—48,120 SF)
*Permanent stream impact quantities shown refer to permanent impacts with loss of stream length.
Since the proposed Project would remove the existing triple barrel box culvert in Middle Creek
and replace with a bridge, 123 LF of additional permanent impacts to Middle Creek associated
with bank stabilization beneath the bridge will result but with no net loss of waters as a result of
each alternative. An additional 73 LF of minor outlet protection impacts (permanent, no net loss
impact) will also result for each alternative to stream S2 where riprap is proposed for stabilization
but installed into the bed and bank substrate to maintain existing contours and aquatic flow. This
amounts to an additional 196 LF of permanent, no net loss impact above what is shown in the
table for each alternative.
Note that similar vertical design approaches were utilized for the four alternatives.
The intent of the design is to provide a vertical profile that meets current design
standards while reducing impacts to the jurisdictional features across the board,
where practicable. The Town has worked extensively with NCDOT to allow a
design exception on the vertical profile which will lower the grade of the road at
the Middle Creek crossing and allow for reduced fill slope impacts to adjacent
wetlands.
Alternative 1-North Alignment, Full Typical Section
This alternative corrects the substandard horizontal and vertical roadway geometry
on both approaches to the Middle Creek crossing. The proposed roadway alignment
is shifted north of the existing road at the Middle Creek crossing. The proposed
eastbound lane pair will be constructed generally within the footprint of the existing
roadway facility, while the future westbound lane pair pushes north of the existing
21

road into the forested portion of the study area. Alternative 1 will allow for the
maintenance of traffic (MoT) throughout construction and maintains the critical
life-safety link between east Holly Springs and the first responder facilities to the
west of the Project. MoT will be accomplished by constructing the roadway
improvements on the north while maintaining traffic on the existing roadway.
Traffic is then shifted to the newly constructed lane pair while the southern half of
the typical section is constructed. This alternative also reduces impacts to the
residential properties along the southside of the road.
Preferred Alternative (Alternative 1 A) -North Alignment, Reduced Typical
Section
Alternative 1A, the Preferred Alternative, utilizes the same horizontal alignment
and vertical profile as Alternative 1, but with a reduced typical section to reduce
impacts to jurisdictional features. This was accomplished by reducing the width of
the median and by reducing the width of the berms behind the back of curb through
the section of roadway adjacent to jurisdictional features. In addition, the sidewalk
was removed on the north side of the roadway to further reduce the section width
and reduce fill slope impacts. Pedestrian mobility is still achieved through the
corridor by providing sidewalk along the south side of the road. This alternative
achieves the same benefits of Alternative 1 while reducing the roadway footprint
and therefore impacts to the jurisdictional features.
Alternative 2—Central Alignment, Reduced Typical Section
Alternative 2 utilizes an alignment that reduces the curvature of the roadway on the
western approach to Middle Creek and shifts further south as it crosses Middle
Creek. This alternative again utilizes the reduced typical section in Alternative 1A
to reduce impacts, however the central alignment means wetlands in all four
quadrants of the Middle Creek crossing would be impacted. Additionally,
Alternative 2 utilizes the entirety of the existing roadway corridor which requires
the long-term closure of Holly Springs Road and MoT cannot be provided. As
discussed previously, it is absolutely critical for public safety that this
transportation link remain open to traffic throughout construction. The road closure
required by Alternative 2 creates life-safety issues as first responders from the fire
and police departments near Flint Point Lane cannot access points east of Middle
Creek. While Alternative 2 reduces stream impacts from the Preferred Alternative
by approximately 66 LF, it provides roughly the same quantity of wetland impacts
as the Preferred Alternative and severs the critical emergency services connection
throughout construction, placing the general public in danger. This level of risk to
the general public is unacceptable to the Town and Alternative 2 was removed from
the Alternatives Analysis as not practicable.
Alternative 3 —South Alignment, Reduced Typical Section
This alternative utilizes an alignment that crosses Middle Creek south of the
existing roadway. The future westbound lane pair will be constructed within the
22

footprint of the existing roadway and the future eastbound lane pair will push into
the forested area south of the existing transportation facility resulting in wetland
impacts. This alternative reduces wetland impacts by 0.36 acre but increases
perennial stream impacts by 201 LF. The additional stream impacts proposed by
this alternative are located on the downstream, higher quality, perennial reach of
stream S2 compared to the degraded portion of S2 impacted by the Preferred
Alternative. While it is likely that MoT can be met by Alternative 3, roadway
closures are still likely as constructability is a concern where Alternative 3 crosses
the existing roadway alignment at both ends of Segment 2. Additionally,
Alternative 3 results in impacts to residential properties at the Sunset Fairways
Road intersection, as well as impacts to the adjacent golf course.
7.2.2 On-Site Minimization of Unavoidable Impacts
In addition to modifying the alignment and the typical section proposed for the
Project,the Town has also implemented the following measures to further minimize
unavoidable impacts.
• Proposed a 3-span bridge to build above jurisdictional features
• Proposed 2:1 slope on the bridge approaches and near environmentally
sensitive areas to reduce fill slope impacts
• Reduced typical section to minimize impact footprint
• Removed sidewalk on north side of road to further reduce section width
• Tightened sidewalk location closer to back of curb approaching the bridge
to reduce overall impact width and bridge dimensions
7.3 Conclusion of Alternatives Analysis
The Town has provided information regarding the alternative selection process and has
reviewed multiple alternatives. This analysis demonstrates that there are no off-site
alternatives that would meet the Project purpose and need and result in reduced impacts
to waters of the U.S.The Town has also addressed on-site alternatives for Holly Springs
Road, evaluating jurisdictional impacts, critical MoT requirements, and private
property impacts. After reviewing the alternatives and avoiding and minimizing
jurisdictional impacts to the aquatic environment, the Preferred Alternative
(Alternative 1A) represents the Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable
Alternative.
23

8.0 MITIGATION:
8.1 Jurisdictional Wetlands
The Project would result in permanent impacts to wetlands identified within the Project
corridor.Permanent wetland impacts would result from the construction of the roadway
crossing, fill slopes, and bridge approaches/supports within wetlands WA, WB, WC,
WD, and WE. The proposed alignment utilizes existing infrastructure to the greatest
extent practicable and impacts are associated with widening the existing road corridor
to minimize impacts from new location road construction. However, the proposed
Project would result in 0.69 acre of permanent wetland impact.
The Town proposes a mitigation ratio of 2:1 for permanent wetland impacts to offset
unavoidable wetland losses since the wetlands scored "High" per the NCWAM
evaluations. This results in a requirement of 1.38 acres of wetland mitigation credits.
The Town plans to purchase these credits through Wildlands Holdings III,LLC: Falling
Creek Umbrella Bank - McClenny Acres II Mitigation Site and has obtained a
Statement of Availability (SOA) for up to 1.38 acres of wetland credits. The SOA is
included in Appendix G.
8.2 Jurisdictional Streams and Riparian Buffers
The Project would result in permanent impacts to perennial and intermittent streams
and their protected buffer zones identified within the Project. Permanent stream and
riparian buffer zone impacts would result from the construction of the roadway
crossing, fill slopes, and bridge approaches over perennial stream S 1, intermittent and
perennial portions of stream S2, and Middle Creek. The proposed alignment would
cross Si, S2, and Middle Creek as close to perpendicular as practical to minimize
stream and buffer impacts, however the crossing would result in 494 LF of permanent
stream impact and 48,131 SF of riparian buffer impact (31,605 SF in Zone 1, and
16,526 SF in Zone 2). Permanent impacts to Middle Creek will be limited to no net loss
impacts resulting from the removal of the existing culverts and stabilization of the
stream banks beneath the proposed bridge. Additional permanent, no net loss impacts
will result from keyed-in rip rap outlet protection in stream S2. Since there is no net
loss of waters associated with the Middle Creek or S2 outlet protection impacts, no
mitigation is proposed for the 196 LF of permanent no net loss impacts.
As a high-quality stream per NCSAM, a mitigation ratio of 2:1 is proposed to offset
unavoidable stream impacts to S 1 (271 LF at 2:1 ratio). A mitigation ratio of 1:1 is
proposed to offset impacts to S2 (223 LF at 1:1 ratio) due to the severely degraded
condition of the stream, as supported by the NCSAM rating of"Low". S2 is located
immediately below a breached sediment basin and has been historically modified by
the old landfill adjacent to the Project. Heavy sedimentation, trash deposition,modified
substrate, and water clarity, odor, and smell all indicate severe degradation.
24

Per the Neuse River Basin(NRB)Riparian Buffer Rules,road crossings exceeding 150
LF of stream channel impact or 1/3rd acre of riparian buffer impacts require mitigation.
Since Site 2 is below these thresholds, riparian buffer impacts at Site 2 are considered
"Allowable" by NCDWR. As "Allowable with Mitigation", NCDWR-required ratios
of 3:1 for unavoidable impacts to Zone 1 and 1.5:1 for impacts to Zone 2 will be applied
to offset unavoidable impacts to protected riparian buffers resulting from the Project at
Site 1 and Site 3.
This results in a requirement of 765 LF of stream mitigation credits and 93,843 SF of
riparian buffer mitigation credits. The Town plans to purchase a portion of these credits
through the following third-party mitigation banks:
• 169.3 LF of stream credits from Wildlands Holdings III, LLC: Falling Creek
Umbrella Bank-McClenny Acres II Mitigation Site
• 38 LF of stream credits from Water & Land Solutions, LLC: WLS Neuse 01
Umbrella Bank-Hollowell Mitigation Site
• 93,843 SF of buffer credits from EBX I,LLC(RES): EBX-Neuse I, LLC Neuse
Riparian Buffer Umbrella Mitigation Bank, RES Neuse Buffer and Nutrient
Offset Umbrella Mitigation Bank, RES Poplar Creek Buffer &Nutrient Offset
Umbrella Mitigation Bank, or EBX Upper Neuse Riparian Buffer Umbrella
Mitigation Bank
The balance of the stream credits (558 LF)will be secured through the NC Division of
Mitigation Services (NCDMS) In-Lieu Fee Program. Due to the changing availability
and limited stream and buffer credits available from third-party banks, a NCDMS
Acceptance Letter was secured for the total mitigable stream and buffer impacts (494
LF of stream, 31,605 SF of Zone 1, and 16,526 SF of Zone 2). This NCDMS
Acceptance Letter and the above-mentioned third-party mitigation bank SOAs are
included in Appendix E. Note, the NCDMS Acceptance Letter indicates that the In-
Lieu Fee Program can provide the stream and buffer credits necessary for the Project
impacts if the third-party credit availability changes prior to securing mitigation.
9.0 EVALUATION OF THE 404(b)(1) GUIDELINES
9.1 Factual Determinations
9.1.1 Physical Substrate
The Project primarily consists of moderately dense commercial development and
residential areas scattered throughout a suburban landscape. In addition to
commercial and residential development, the corridor includes institutional and
recreational facilities and forested areas adjacent to Middle Creek. The forested
areas of the Project include bottomland hardwood forest and headwater wetland
features. Approximately 494 LF of stream channel would be placed into a culvert
for the widening of the road. In this area, the existing substrate within the channel
25

would be replaced by the culvert bottom. The culvert would be placed below the
streambed if possible, to allow upstream sediment to form a more natural channel
bed over time. The culvert would be sized appropriately to convey the 100-year
storm without any adverse effects to upstream properties and ensuring the passage
of aquatic life. Fill slopes associated with the roadway corridor at the culvert inlet
and outlet would be revegetated and stabilized with riprap along the base of the fill
to prevent erosion.
9.1.2 Water Circulation, Fluctuation, and Salinity
The Project should have no appreciable effect on current or circulation. Drainage
patterns may be altered based on culvert placement. Construction of the Project
across Middle Creek will restore natural circulation and flow as a result of the
existing undersized culverts being removed and replaced with a bridge. The bridge
will be approximately 4' elevated over the floodplain at the lowest point and up to
a high of 16' over the thalweg of Middle Creek. This elevation will convey normal
baseflow and stormflows without impeding or impounding flow through Middle
Creek. Culverts installed on stream S2 will also be sized appropriately to convey
normal baseflow and stormflow without impeding or impounding flow.
The Project varies in topography between 310 to 450 feet above mean sea level.
Hydrology from the Project contributes to three different streams. Streams S1
(perennial) and stream S2 (intermittent and perennial) drain in multiple directions
into Middle Creek. Middle Creek flows from northeast to southeast out of the
Project study area into Sunset Lake and eventually downstream into Terrible Creek.
9.1.3 Suspended Particulate/Turbidity
The project-specific sedimentation and erosion control measures that will be
utilized during construction will minimize downstream sedimentation. The
majority of turbidity increases would likely result from the clearing and
construction of the widened sections along the Project corridor. Sediment loss
would be minimized by the implementation of sediment and erosion control
measures. Once construction of the Project is complete, the soils would be
stabilized, revegetated, and stormwater runoff would be directed to detention and
treatment basins. Accordingly, the effects of turbidity resulting from the proposed
undertaking are expected to be temporary and minor.
9.1.4 Contaminant Availability
Proposed uses for the Project would result in the potential discharge of some
pollutants, including road treatment for winter weather, oil products from
26

automobile engines, and some fertilizers for landscaping. In general, the level of
potential contaminant introduction to the aquatic systems is low. Additionally, only
suitable earthen material, which should be free of toxic pollutants or contaminants,
would be used for construction of the permitted fills.
9.1.5 Aquatic Ecosystem Effects
The direct effects due to the placement of fill associated with the Project would be
a total loss to the impacted aquatic ecosystem and its functions in the footprint of
the fill placement. However, net improvements to the aquatic ecosystem will result
by removing the triple barrel box culvert on Middle Creek. The replacement bridge
will restore normal baseflow and flood flow conditions compared to the current
condition in which Holly Springs Road acts as an artificial berm due to the low
elevation and constricted culvert crossing.
The secondary short-term effects expected downstream would primarily be limited
to temporary discharges of sediment during construction. Even with proper
construction and maintenance, sediment control measures do not eliminate all
turbidity in receiving waters, though these effects should be limited to the duration
of Project construction and maintenance of required sediment and erosion control
measures.
9.1.6 Proposed Disposal Site
Generally, material generated by the Project will be disposed of within the Project
limits wherever practicable. Off-site disposal is likely for timber and rootballs
resulting from land clearing operations, and the Town anticipates generating
construction and demolition debris from clearing of existing structures and asphalt
within the limits of disturbance.
9.1.7 Secondary and Cumulative Effects
Based on the factors discussed above, the secondary and cumulative effects of the
proposed undertaking do not pose a significant threat to the integrity of the aquatic
environment. The Project would not affect access to properties in the area, or open
areas for development or redevelopment that were previously inaccessible.
Therefore, secondary and cumulative effects on aquatic resources as a result of the
Project will be minimal.
27

10.0 PUBLIC INTEREST REVIEW
10.1 Public Interest Factors
10.1.1 Conservation
The proposed Project does not include the permanent conservation of any stream
or wetland areas on site. Stream corridors within the Project are subject to the Neuse
River Riparian Buffer Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0233), which requires a 50-foot
riparian buffer divided into two zones (30-foot Zone 1 and 20-foot Zone 2) applied
to intermittent and perennial streams, modified natural streams, ponds, lakes,
reservoirs, estuaries and rivers that are depicted only on the most recent printed
version of the soil survey map prepared by the NRCS and the 1:24,000 scale
quadrangle topographic map prepared by the USGS. The mitigation payments to
the third-party bankers would also be used to restore and preserve stream corridors
and wetland areas elsewhere in the Neuse River Basin.
10.1.2 Economics
Holly Springs Road serves as a critical transportation corridor between northeastern
Holly Springs and Main Street. The corridor is becoming increasingly congested
and will become more so once NC-540 is completed to Kildaire Farm Road. This
Project will increase the capacity to meet existing demands while adding dedicated
bicycle facilities and improved pedestrian connectivity to balance the growth
projections and improve mobility and safety. The Project would not create adverse
economic impacts for the general public, and will result in a net benefit for drivers
utilizing this corridor by reducing travel times and congestion while increasing
safety.
10.1.3 Aesthetics
The proposed Holly Springs Road — Phase 2 corridor has been designed to be
aesthetically pleasing and consistent with Phase 1. It will utilize landscaped
medians and sidewalks. Fill slopes will be stabilized with herbaceous vegetation
and maintained. The proposed roadway facilities would not impact the aesthetics
of the existing environment in the Project vicinity.
10.1.4 General Environmental Concerns (33CFR320.4(p))
The overall impact to the environment as a result of the construction of
the Project would be minimal. Temporary increases in sediment, construction
noise,traffic levels,etc.,would be expected during construction of the Project.Any
28

potential long-term impacts to wetlands, streams, and fish and wildlife would at
least in part be offset by the mitigation offered by the applicant and onsite measures
such as riparian stream and stormwater management. Consideration was also given
to the environmental justice of the proposed Project. The Project is a widening of
an existing corridor and would not result in negative impacts to persons living or
owning land in the vicinity of the Project.Accordingly,the proposed activity would
not unjustly impact any surrounding property owner or particular minority group
(ethnic, socioeconomic, or otherwise).
10.1.5 Wetlands (33CFR320.4(b))
There is a total of 1.40 acres of jurisdictional wetlands within the Project. The
Project will result in 0.69 acre of permanent wetland impacts or loss of wetlands
that currently provide nutrient filtration, sediment removal,and aquatic habitat. The
Applicant proposes mitigation as outlined in Section 8.0 Compensatory Mitigation
above.
The project would result in the loss of 0.67 acres of bottomland hardwood forest
wetland and 0.02 acres of headwater forested wetland that currently provide
nutrient filtration, sediment removal, and aquatic habitat. The Applicant would
mitigate for unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional wetlands associated with the
Project by purchasing credits from a third-party mitigation bank.
10.1.6 Historic and Cultural Resources (33CFR320.4(e))
Based on the general land use in the Project and within the vicinity of the Project,
and due to the nature of the proposed activity,it has been determined that the Project
is not likely to have any effect on these resources. Correspondence from SHPO
concurring with the no-effect determination is included in Appendix D.
10.1.7 Fish and Wildlife Values (33CFR320.4(c))
The Project would not be expected to result in permanent adverse effects to the
overall fish or wildlife value in the area. During construction, it is likely that some
aquatic and terrestrial animals might be displaced,along with their habitat.The type
of habitat within the Project includes bottomland forest wetlands and headwater
forest wetlands, forested upland areas, and in-stream and riparian habitat.
Following construction, the remaining natural areas and riparian buffers would
continue to provide sufficient habitat for fish and migratory bird species. No effect
is anticipated to any federally listed threatened or endangered species known to
occur in Wake County.
29

10.1.8 Flood Hazards
The proposed widening would impact the existing crossing of Middle Creek.Based
on preliminary evaluation of the existing conditions, the roadway overtops during
10-year storm events. It is assumed the proposed widening and crossing would need
to be designed to reduce the chance of the roadway overtopping during the 1%
Annual Chance Flood event. The Project proposes to remove the existing triple
barrel box culvert and replace with an elevated bridge designed to meet these flood
hazard requirements and NCDOT design standards.
The Project would not be expected to have an impact on the overall hazard of
flooding downstream of the Project. The proposed roadway would result in
increases to impervious surface within the watershed, but this increase is minimal
when compared to the overall size of the Middle Creek watershed and has no
impacts on the overall flood hazard. The floodplain mapping will have minor
updates, but no impacts on insurable structures.
10.1.9 Floodplain Values (33CFR320.4(1))
A search of the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Information System(accessed
July 29, 2020) indicated that the Project is located within 0.2% Annual Flood
Hazards, 1% Annual Flood Hazards (Zone AE) and FEMA-regulated floodways in
the Project corridor along Middle Creek as designated by FEMA (FEMA Flood
maps panel 3720065900J (effective May 2, 2006).
10.1.10 Land Use
The proposed Holly Springs Road Widening—Phase 2 Project would result in the
conversion of thin strips of mostly suburban and forested land to a linear roadway
corridor adjacent to existing linear roadway corridor. While this would be a shift in
land use, the affected areas are minimal and the land use in the Project corridor
would remain consistent with local zoning requirements and Town of Holly Springs
long range planning goals.
10.1.11 Navigation (33CFR320.4(o))
The Project is located on non-navigable waterways. Accordingly, consideration of
the Project's effect on navigation is not applicable.
30

10.1.12 Shore Erosion and Accretion
No ponds, lakes, or other such features are located on the proposed Project.
Therefore, shore erosion and/or accretion would not occur as a result of the Project.
10.1.13 Recreation
The proposed Project roadway typical section will provide new sidewalk and bike
lanes for the use of residents in the vicinity. The proposed impacts to streams by the
Project will ensure hydrologic connectivity and aquatic life passage, protecting
downstream water resources and recreational opportunities.
10.1.14 Water Supply(33CFR320.4(m))
The Project will utilize standard NCDOT requirements for NSW to help avoid any
impacts to the sensitive receiving waters downstream of the Project.
10.1.15 Water Quality (also 33CFR320.4(d))
No major impacts to water quality are expected within the Project. Temporary
increases in turbidity during construction, loss of nutrient removal capacity of the
filled wetlands, and some discharge of pollutants and nutrients in the runoff could
result. It is anticipated that the proposed construction of stormwater treatment
facilities on site should offset long-term impacts by removing sediments, nutrients,
and other pollutants from treated stormwater, and by attenuating peak flows
downstream. The NCDWR will review the proposed plans and as part of the
Individual Section 401 Water Quality Certification prior to construction of the
Project.
10.1.16 Energy Needs (33CFR320.4(n))
The proposed Project would not be used for the generation of power and is not
anticipated to increase the demand for power consumption in the area.
31

10.1.17 Safety
The Project has been designed in accordance with local traffic safety regulations
and should not result in result in additional safety concerns. The Project would
result in safety improvements for pedestrians and vehicular traffic in the corridor
by adding sidewalk,bike lanes, and reducing driver confusion. During construction
of the Project, all applicable safety standards would be observed.
10.1.18 Food and Fiber Production
The Project is not located on land historically used for the large-scale production
of agricultural goods.
10.1.19 Mineral Needs
The Project has not historically been used for the production of mineral products,
so consideration of mineral needs is not applicable.
10.1.20 Considerations of Property Ownership
Adjacent landowners may be affected as a result of the proximity of their property
to the Project. Any future use of the land would be consistent with the designated
zoning, and the owner's right to reasonable, private use of their land.
10.2 Previous Public Outreach
Two public outreach events have been held for the subject project.An initial public meeting
was held on March 19, 2019 to discuss the study area, purpose of the project, and gather
feedback from the public. Fifty-nine members of the public were in attendance and 38
comments were received following this meeting. Comments received requested additional
consideration by the project team of specific elements in the design such as the access
restrictions due to the addition of a median, installation of a traffic signal, pedestrian
crossing facilities, and maintaining the 35 mile per hour speed limit.
A second public meeting was held virtually on March 17, 2020 via the Town's Facebook
page with additional resources posted on the Town's project website. One written comment
was received following that meeting, and about twenty four comments on the online
www.publicinput.com/d771 website, which was attended by 171 people.
32

11.0 INDIRECT AND CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
The project will not alter travel patterns, affect access to properties in the area, or open areas
for development or redevelopment.Due to its minimal transportation impact-causing activities,
this project will neither influence nearby land uses nor stimulate growth. Therefore, significant
indirect and cumulative effects are not anticipated, and no further analyses have been prepared.

William,
Thank you for submitting the PJD request for the above referenced project. After review of the submitted request, I
have determined that a site visit is not necessary, and I concur with your delineation as submitted.
Due to staffing constraints and increased workload volume it may take 90-120 days for the issuance of a written
jurisdictional determination. The delineation may be used for planning and permitting purposes, should a permit be
required the JD can be issued and the time of permit verification. AID for the project is SAW-2020-00216.
I also understand that a pre-application meeting is also being requested. I currently have February 24-27 open at 10 am.
We can either meet at my office or another place of your choosing. Just let me know.

Good afternoon,
On behalf of our client,the Town of Holly Springs, Kimley-Horn is submitting the attached Preliminary Jurisdictional
Determination and Buffer Determination requests for Phase II of the Holly Springs Road widening project in Holly
i

Springs, Wake County, NC. Phase I of the project was completed as NCDOT STIP project U-6094. Phase II proposes to
widen the existing road to a four-lane, median divided typical section with eight-foot sidewalks with curb and gutter on
both sides from Flint Point Lane to Sunset Lake Road.Additionally,the project proposes to construct a bridge over
Middle Creek to alleviate safety issues due to flooding.The Town is currently evaluating different design alternatives to
reduce wetland impacts at the Middle Creek crossing and is interested in conducting a pre-application meeting following
the field review to discuss these designs with the agencies.
Kimley-Horn staff delineated the project area in October and November of 2019 and identified three streams (Middle
Creek, S1, and S2) and five wetlands (WA, WB, WC, WD, and WE). Middle Creek and the two unnamed tributaries to
Middle Creek (S1 and S2) are approximately located on the NRCS Soil Survey of Wake County. Middle Creek and S1 are
both perennial features throughout the project area. Stream S2 originates at a headcut as an intermittent feature and
flows a short way before downcutting to become perennial feature. Wetlands WA, WB, WC, and WD are floodplain
wetlands associated with Middle Creek. Wetland WE is a small, seep wetland flowing into S1.
Please review the attached documentation and provide the first available dates you have to conduct a field review
followed by a short pre-app meeting. If you have any trouble receiving the attached package or need any additional
information, please contact me at [phone] or [e-mail]

Re: Holly Springs Road Phase 2 — Wake County
Dear Mrs. Radford:
This letter is to inform you that the Service has established an on-line project planning and
consultation process which assists developers and consultants in determining whether a
federally-listed.species or designated critical habitat may be affected by a proposed project. For
future projects, please visit the Raleigh Field Office's project planning website at
httos://wv,rw.fws.goviralcighipp.html. If you are only searching for a list of species that may be
present in the project's Action Area, then you may use the Service's Information, Planning, and
Consultation System (1PaC)website to determine if any listed, proposed, or candidate species
may be present in the Action Area and generate a species list. The IPaC website may be viewed
at https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/. The IPaC web site contains a complete and frequently updated list
of all endangered and threatened species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), a list of federal species of concern' that
are known to occur in each county in North Carolina, and other resources.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally-listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment.or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally-protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or
The term"federal species of concern" refers to those species which,the Service believes might be in need of
concentrated conservation actions. Federal species ofconcerii receive no legal protection and their designation does
not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed far Fisting as a federally endangered or threatened
species. However,we recomit5end that all practicable measures he taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to
-federal species of concern.

evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes.
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally-listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally-protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
With regard to the above-referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are
submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act.
Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed
action is not likely to adversely affect any federally-listed endangered or threatened species,their
formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at
these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for
your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be
reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect
listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species
is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action.
However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have
on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we
recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species,
including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control
measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by
the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction.
Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction
site and any nearby down-gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining
natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a
copy can be found on our website at (http://www.fws.gov/raleigh) to address and mitigate
secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality.

We recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in
completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary).
We hope you find our web page useful and informative and that following the process described
above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for
species' lists. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis of this office at
[phone] ext. 26.
Sincerely,
P to Benjamin

Colin,
I have reviewed the submitted information for this project. For the federally listed aquatic
species, you have determined that the action will have "no effect". As a reminder, if there is
suitable habitat present for a listed aquatic species and work will be occurring within and/or
adjacent to streams within the range of such species, then "no effect" is probably not an
appropriate biological conclusion. Please note that the project does not occur within the range
of the Tar River Spinymussel (Parvaspina steinstansana). In addition to the federally
endangered Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) and federally threatened Yellow
Lance (Elliptio lanceolata) that you mentioned, the project is also within the range of the
federally proposed endangered Carolina Madtom(Noturus furiosus), proposed threatened
Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi), and proposed threatened Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia
masoni). The Atlantic Pigtoe has relatively recent records from Middle Creek farther
downstream, and the Neuse River Waterdog has a historic record farther downstream. Your
submitted information does not mention any aquatic species surveys.
With federal funding from the Federal Highway Administration, this project likely could
utilize the Programmatic Biological Opinion(PBO) for bridge/culvert replacements for all the
mussel species. Although this project is a widening project, it appears that the only portion of
the project that may affect listed/proposed aquatic species is the crossing of Middle Creek, so
the PBO likely could still be utilized. Also, a Programmatic Conference/Biological Opinion
will soon be issued for bridge/culvert replacement effects on the Neuse River Waterdog and
Carolina Madtom. This new PCO/PBO could likely be utilized as well. Both of these
PCO/PBOs provide automatic concurrence for May Affect,Not Likely to Adversely Affect
biological conclusions if certain criteria are met.
Lastly, is there a STIP number for this project?

I concur with USFWS comments below. Also, the scoping notice mentioned including a three span
bridge over Middle Creek. Although no bridge length was identified WRC supports replacing the
existing box culverts with a longer bridge. A bridge at this location will improve stream stability and
provide highway permeability for terrestrial wildlife using the Middle Creek riparian corridor. WRC
recommendations for a bridge at this location is to span Middle Creek with no support structures in
the channel, keep the area under the bridge free of rip rap, and provide a vertical clearance under
the bridge of a minimum of 8 feet.

Colin,
I have reviewed the submitted information for this project. For the federally listed aquatic
species, you have determined that the action will have "no effect". As a reminder, if there is

suitable habitat present for a listed aquatic species and work will be occurring within and/or
adjacent to streams within the range of such species, then "no effect" is probably not an
appropriate biological conclusion. Please note that the project does not occur within the range
of the Tar River Spinymussel (Parvaspina steinstansana). In addition to the federally
endangered Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) and federally threatened Yellow
Lance (Elliptio lanceolata) that you mentioned, the project is also within the range of the
federally proposed endangered Carolina Madtom(Noturus furiosus), proposed threatened
Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi), and proposed threatened Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia
masoni). The Atlantic Pigtoe has relatively recent records from Middle Creek farther
downstream, and the Neuse River Waterdog has a historic record farther downstream. Your
submitted information does not mention any aquatic species surveys.
With federal funding from the Federal Highway Administration, this project likely could
utilize the Programmatic Biological Opinion(PBO) for bridge/culvert replacements for all the
mussel species. Although this project is a widening project, it appears that the only portion of
the project that may affect listed/proposed aquatic species is the crossing of Middle Creek, so
the PBO likely could still be utilized. Also, a Programmatic Conference/Biological Opinion

PCO/PBOs provide automatic concurrence for May Affect,Not Likely to Adversely Affect
biological conclusions if certain criteria are met.
Lastly, is there a STIP number for this project?

MEMORANDUM
To: Colin Frosch,Transportation Analyst,Kimley-Horn&Associates
From: Rob Ridings,NC Division of Water Resources,Transportation Permitting Branch
Subject: Scoping comments on proposed Town of Holly Springs'project: Improvements to Holly Springs Road in
Wake County
Reference your correspondence received April 30,2020 in which you requested comments for the referenced
project. Preliminary analysis of the project reveals the potential for multiple impacts to streams,riparian buffers and
jurisdictional wetlands in the project area. More specifically,impacts to:
Stream Name River Basin Stream Classifications Stream Index Number 303(d)Listing?
Middle Creek Neuse C;NSW 27-43-15-(1) Yes
Further investigations at a higher resolution should be undertaken to verify the presence of other streams and/or
jurisdictional wetlands in the area. In the event that any jurisdictional areas are identified,the Division of Water
Resources requests that the applicant consider the following environmental issues for the proposed project:
Project Specific Comments:
1. The road design plans shall provide treatment of the stormwater runoff through BMPs as detailed in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Department of Transportation Stormwater Best Management Practices
Toolbox manual. The BMPs should,to the MEP,be selected and designed to reduce impacts of the target
pollutants of concern(POCs)for the receiving waters.
2. Middle Creek and its tributaries are class C;NSW waters of the State. The NCDWR is very concerned with
sediment and erosion impacts that could result from this project. The NCDWR recommends that highly
protective sediment and erosion control BMPs be implemented to reduce the risk of nutrient runoff to Middle
Creek. Post-construction stormwater BMPs should,to the MEP,be selected and designed to reduce nutrients.
3. Middle Creek is listed as 303(d)impaired waters of the State. The NCDWR is very concerned with sediment
and erosion impacts that could result from this project.The NCDWR recommends that the most protective
sediment and erosion control BMPs be implemented in accordance with Design Standards in Sensitive
Watersheds(15A NCAC 04B .0124)or comparable BMPs to reduce the risk of further impairment to Middle
Creek.Post-construction stormwater BMPs should,to the MEP,be selected and designed to reduce target POCs
in the 303(d)list for the receiving waters.
4. This project is within the Neuse River Basin.Riparian buffer impacts shall be avoided and minimized to the
greatest extent possible pursuant to 15A NCAC 2B.0233.New development activities located in the protected
50-foot wide riparian areas within the basin shall be limited to"uses"identified within and constructed in
NorthNorth Carolina DeSalisburypartmentStreet1 of1617 EnMvironmentalailService Center Quality RDivisionaleigh of WaterNorthCarolina Resou27rces699-1617

accordance with 15A NCAC.02B .0295. Buffer mitigation may be required for buffer impacts resulting from
activities classified as"allowable with mitigation"within the"Table of Uses"section of the Buffer Rules or
require a variance under the Buffer Rules.A buffer mitigation plan,including use of the North Carolina
Division of Mitigation Services,must be provided to the NCDWR prior to approval of the Water Quality
Certification. Buffer mitigation may be required for buffer impacts resulting from activities classified as
"allowable with mitigation"within the"Table of Uses"section of the Buffer Rules or require a variance under
the Buffer Rules.A buffer mitigation plan, coordinated with the North Carolina Division of Mitigation
Services,must be provided to the NCDWR prior to approval of the Water Quality Certification.
General Project Comments:
1. The environmental document should provide a detailed and itemized presentation of the proposed impacts to
wetlands and streams with corresponding mapping. If mitigation is necessary as required by 15A NCAC
2H.0506(h),it is preferable to present a conceptual(if not finalized)mitigation plan with the environmental
documentation. Appropriate mitigation plans will be required prior to issuance of a 401 Water Quality
Certification.
2. Environmental impact statement alternatives shall consider design criteria that reduce the impacts to streams
and wetlands from storm water runoff. These alternatives shall include road designs that allow for treatment
of the storm water runoff through BMPs as detailed in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Department of Transportation Stormwater Best Management Practices Tool box manual,such as grassed
swales,buffer areas,preformed scour holes,retention basins,etc.
3. After the selection of the preferred alternative and prior to an issuance of the 401 Water Quality Certification,
the applicant is respectfully reminded that they will need to demonstrate the avoidance and minimization of
impacts to wetlands(and streams)to the maximum extent practical. In accordance with the Environmental
Management Commission's Rules(15A NCAC 2H.0506[h]),mitigation will be required for impacts of
greater than 1 acre to wetlands. In the event that mitigation is required,the mitigation plan shall be designed
to replace appropriate lost functions and values. North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services may be
available for assistance with wetland mitigation.
4. In accordance with the Environmental Management Commission's Rules(15A NCAC 2H.0506[h]),
mitigation will be required for impacts of greater than 300 linear feet to any perennial stream. In the event
that mitigation is required,the mitigation plan shall be designed to replace appropriate lost functions and
values. The North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services may be available for assistance with stream
mitigation.
5. Future documentation,including the 401 Water Quality Certification Application, shall continue to include an
itemized listing of the proposed wetland and stream impacts with corresponding mapping.
6. The NCDWR is very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that could result from this project. The
applicant shall address these concerns by describing the potential impacts that may occur to the aquatic
environments and any mitigating factors that would reduce the impacts.
7. An analysis of cumulative and secondary impacts anticipated as a result of this project is required. The type
and detail of analysis shall conform to the NC Division of Water Resource Policy on the assessment of
secondary and cumulative impacts dated April 10,2004.
8. The applicant is respectfully reminded that all impacts,including but not limited to,bridging,fill,excavation
and clearing,and rip rap to jurisdictional wetlands,streams,and riparian buffers need to be included in the
final impact calculations. These impacts,in addition to any construction impacts,temporary or otherwise,
also need to be included as part of the 401 Water Quality Certification Application.

9. Where streams must be crossed,the NCDWR prefers bridges be used in lieu of culverts. However,we realize
that economic considerations often require the use of culverts. Please be advised that culverts should be
countersunk to allow unimpeded passage by fish and other aquatic organisms. Moreover,in areas where high
quality wetlands or streams are impacted,a bridge may prove preferable. When applicable,the applicant
should not install the bridge bents in the creek,to the maximum extent practicable.
10. Whenever possible,the NCDWR prefers spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require
work within the stream or grubbing of the streambanks and do not require stream channel realignment. The
horizontal and vertical clearances provided by bridges shall allow for human and wildlife passage beneath the
structure.Fish passage and navigation by canoeists and boaters shall not be blocked. Bridge supports(bents)
should not be placed in the stream when possible.
11. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Stormwater shall be directed across the bridge
and pre-treated through site-appropriate means(grassed swales,pre-formed scour holes,vegetated buffers,etc.)
before entering the stream. To meet the requirements of NCDOT's NPDES permit NCS000250,please refer
to the most recent version of the North Carolina Department of Transportation Stormwater Best Management
Practices Toolbox manual for approved measures.
12. Sediment and erosion control measures should not be placed in wetlands or streams.
13. Borrow/waste areas should avoid wetlands to the maximum extent practical. Impacts to wetlands in
borrow/waste areas will need to be presented in the 401 Water Quality Certification and could precipitate
compensatory mitigation.
14. The 401 Water Quality Certification application will need to specifically address the proposed methods for
stormwater management. More specifically,stormwater shall not be permitted to discharge directly into
streams or surface waters. To meet the requirements of NCDOT's NPDES permit NCS000250,please refer
to the most recent version of the North Carolina Department of Transportation Stormwater Best Management
Practices Toolbox manual for approved measures.
15. Based on the information presented in the document,the magnitude of impacts to wetlands and streams will
require 404 permit application to the Corps of Engineers and corresponding 401 Water Quality Certification.
Please be advised that a 401 Water Quality Certification requires satisfactory protection of water quality to
ensure that water quality standards are met and no wetland or stream uses are lost. Final permit authorization
will require the submittal of a formal application by the applicant and written concurrence from the NCDWR.
Please be aware that any approval will be contingent on appropriate avoidance and minimization of wetland
and stream impacts to the maximum extent practical,the development of an acceptable stormwater
management plan,and the inclusion of appropriate mitigation plans where appropriate.
16. If concrete is used during construction,a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between
curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged
to surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills. Concrete shall
be handled in accordance with the NPDES Construction General Permit NCG010000.
17. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed,the site shall be graded to its preconstruction contours
and elevations. Disturbed areas shall be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and appropriate native woody
species shall be planted. When using temporary structures the area shall be cleared but not grubbed. Clearing
the area with chain saws,mowers,bush-hogs,or other mechanized equipment and leaving the stumps and root
mat intact allows the area to re-vegetate naturally and minimizes soil disturbance.

18. Unless otherwise authorized,placement of culverts and other structures in waters and streams shall be placed
below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches,and
20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches,to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary
erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or
streambeds or banks,adjacent to or upstream and downstream of the above structures.The applicant is
required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by the NCDWR.
If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction,
please contact the NCDWR for guidance on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit
modification will be required.
19. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as
closely as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation,floodplain benches,and/or sills may be
required where appropriate. Widening the stream channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the
inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires
increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
20. If foundation test borings are necessary;it shall be noted in the document. Geotechnical work is approved
under General 401 Certification Number 4085/Nationwide Permit No.6 for Survey Activities.
21. Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to protect water resources must be implemented and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual and the most recent version of NCS000250.
22. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures
from the most current version of the NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as
sandbags,rock berms,cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in
flowing water.
23. While the use of National Wetland Inventory(NWI)maps,NC Coastal Region Evaluation of Wetland
Significance(NC-CREWS)maps and soil survey maps are useful tools,their inherent inaccuracies require
that qualified personnel perform onsite wetland delineations prior to permit approval.
24. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank rather than in stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into streams. This equipment shall be
inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels,lubricants,
hydraulic fluids,or other toxic materials.
25. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
26. Riparian vegetation(native trees and shrubs)shall be preserved to the maximum extent possible. Riparian
vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
27. Any anticipated dewatering or access structures necessary for construction of bridges should be addressed in
the application. The application should discuss the potential for dewatering and access measures necessary
due to bridge construction.
Thank you for requesting our input at this time. The NCDOT is reminded that issuance of a 401 Water Quality
Certification requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water quality standards are met and
designated uses are not degraded or lost. If you have any questions or require additional information,please contact

RE: NEPA Review, Project# 20-0249, Town of Holly Springs/NCDOT (Wake County)
The Hazardous Waste Section has reviewed the proposed project for the widening of Holly Springs
Road from Flint Point Lane to Sunset Lake Road.STIP U-6094 and would like to make the following
comment:
Any hazardous waste generated from the demolition, construction, operation, maintenance,
and/or remediation (e.g. excavated soil) from the proposed project must be managed in
accordance with the North Carolina Hazardous Waste Rules. The demolition, construction,
operation, maintenance, and remediation activities conducted will most likely generate a solid
waste, and a determination must be made whether it is a hazardous waste. If a project site
generates more than 220 pounds of hazardous waste in a calendar month, the HWS must be
notified, and the site must comply with the small quantity generator (SQG) requirements. If a
project site generates more than 2200 pounds of hazardous waste in a calendar month, the HWS
must be notified, and the facility must comply with the large quantity generator (LQG)
requirements.
Generators are required to determine their generator status and both SQGs & LQGs are required
to obtain a site EPA Identification number for the generation of hazardous waste.

Holly Springs Road Improvements Phase II, from Flint Point Lane to Sunset Lake
Road, Town of Holly Springs, Wake County,NC
As requested by the North Carolina State Clearinghouse, the North Carolina Department of
Public Safety Division of Emergency Management Risk Management reviewed the proposed
project listed above and offers the following comments:
1) The project site is located in Town of Holly Springs. Town of Holly Springs participates
in the National Flood Insurance Program and enforces a Flood Damage Prevention
Ordinance that requires a Floodplain Development Permit be issued for all development
located in the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) within its jurisdiction. Please ensure
the Town's Floodplain Administrator reviews and issues permits for each part of the
proposed project within a SFHA.
2) The site outlined in the application encroaches on the SFHA. Please see Flood Insurance
Rate Map Panel 3720065900J. Any grading, fill or placement of equipment or materials
in the SFHA will require a floodplain development permit issued by Town of Holly
Springs.
3) From the documentation provided, it appears that the proposed project area will encroach
on the floodway of Middle Creek. If there is any encroachment, construction, or storage
of equipment and materials in the floodway, then a hydraulic analysis shall be performed
to determine the impact on flood levels during the base flood discharge due to the
proposed construction. An increase in flood levels will require approval of a Conditional
Letter of Map Revision prior to construction. No structures shall be impacted by the
increase in flood levels. If there are no increases in flood levels, a "No-Rise" study and
certification will be required prior to construction.
