4a.Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
Existing conditions at the site includes wooded,undeveloped land.Scattered residential housing is located along NC 42 just outside of the project limits.
4b.Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project(including all prior phases)in the past?*

4h.Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
Purpose of the project is to improve safety of the intersection by reducing the number of rear end collisions.This is accomplished by installing a left turn lane on NC 42 to give left
turning vehicles storage separate from the through lane.
The project is not being constructed as part of another project(i.e.new subdivision or business).It is a single and complete project which has independent utility.In other words,this is
a stand alone project that meets the purpose and need statement.This project is not related to any other project that has stream and/or wetland impacts.
***Important:This W-5601 EY project will be let with W-5601 EX W-5601 EX is a separate intersection improvement project in the nearby vicinity(but is NOT directly adjacent to the limits
of W-5601 EY).Both projects have separate independent utility and exist as separate projects.The W-5601 EY project as a TIP number will likely be dropped and both the W-5601 EX
and W-5601EY project combined inletting to assist in reducing project costs and administrative issues.
4i.Describe the overall project in detail,including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
1.Widen fill slopes(reduced to 2:1 in wetlands and streams)throughout the project to provide for the typical section.

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:
1.Both structures have been designed to have as little wetland,stream and buffer impact as possible.
2.Bank excavation was kept to minimum to produce as little impact as possible.
3.Stilling Basin#1 relocated outside of riparian buffer area.
4.Where excavation is necessary,geotextile and Class II rip rap will be used to provide long term stabilization and reduce stream bank scour.
5.A 72 inch water line located to the south of NC 42 will be relocated at project.This will be installed at the culvert site by bore/jack with receiving/exit
pits outside of the riparian buffer zones(i.e no stream impacts from this specific utility at the culvert crossing).
6.Project will utilize 2:1 slopes throughout limits of jurisdictional resources to minimize impacts to streams,wetlands and riparian buffers.The Division
Roadside Environmental Field Operations Engineer has indicated that further steepening of the fill slope(i.e.to a 1.5:1)will result in reduced
establishment of permanent vegetation and result in loss of sediment from the fill slope.
lb.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
1.Significant effort will be made during construction to minimize impacts to streams,wetlands and riparian buffers.This will be accomplished through
monthly environmental permit reviews.Additional on site meetings will be held with NCDOT inspectors and contractor to evaluate further efforts to
minimize impacts during construction.
