4h.Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the project is to improve regional mobility and increase the Level of Service(LOS)of the region.Eastern Avenue and Sunset Avenue are Minor Arterial roads and
provide an alternate connection to US 64 between Rocky Mount and Nashville.Anticipated growth of the towns of Rocky Mount,Nashville,and Red Oak also necessitate improvements
to Eastern Avenue and Sunset Avenue to increase capacity and reduce potential for crashes.The proposed interchange with 1-95 would shift traffic from the US 64/1-95 interchange,
improving its LOS.The project would have the added benefit of improved safety.
4i.Describe the overall project in detail,including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project corridor is made up of two different TIPS,U-5026 and R-5720.In total the project is approximately 6.6 miles long and contains one interchange and seven roundabouts.
U-5026-Construct an interchange at the current grade separation of Sunset Avenue and 1-95.Includes widening of Sunset Avenue from SR 1603(Old Carriage Road)to SR 1544
(Halifax Road).
R-5720-Widening Eastern Avenue from SR 1003(Red Oak Road)to SR 1603(Old Carriage Road).Includes widening the existing two lane road to a four lane facility.
Standard road building equipment,such as trucks,dozers,and cranes will be used.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1.Avoidance and Minimization
1a.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
See attached Avoidance and Minimization Efforts and the 4A Minimization Measures in the Miscellaneous Section.
lb.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Erosion and sedimentation BMPs will be installed prior to construction.Water will be diverted around the work area to prevent sedimentation of
downstream aquatic resources.Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of surface waters,
restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US and coordination(including a pre-construction meeting)with the
Division Environmental Officer.Additionally,the outside buffer wetland and/or water boundary located within the construction corridor will be clearly
marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities.

(Alasmidonta heterodon),Tar River spinymussel(Elliptio steinstansana),yellow lance(Elliptio lanceolate),and Michaux's sumac(Rhus michauxii)as
occurring in the project study area.No habitat for red-cockaded woodpecker was found during reviewfor U-5026 or R-5720.The biological conclusion
for red-cockaded woodpecker was"No Effect".Michaux's sumac habitat was found during review for U-5026 and R-5720.For R-5720,detailed
Michaux's sumac surveys were conducted on June 6,2018.For U-5026,detailed Michaux's sumac surveys were conducted on June 3,17,and 21,
2019.The biological for Michaux's sumac was"No Effect".Mussel habitat surveys conducted in June 2008 and July 2009 for U-5026 resulted in no
habitat for dwarf wedgemussel,Tar River spinymussel,or yellow lance.For U-5026,biological conclusions of"No Effect"were reached for these
species.Deck rehabilitation over Stony Creek was added into the U-5026 project after completion of the mussel surveys.This portion of the project as
well as the as well as the R-5720 project is covered under a programmatic biological opinion(PBO)developed by the USFWS.This PBO will cover
Atlantic pigtoe once it is listed.The biological conclusion for dwarf wedgemussel,Tar River spinymussel,and yellow lance is"May Affect—Not Likely to
Adversely Affect."Once Neuse River waterdog and Carolina madtom are listed,they will be covered by the PBO.Northern long-eared bat(Myotis
septentrionalis)(NLEB)is not listed on IPAC,however,the USFWS PBO conclusion of MA-LAA for NLEB applies to these projects and the tree
clearing will be reported per the PBO.
