4. Project Description and History
4a.Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application:*
The project site lies south of and adjacent to the heavily traveled US 70 corridor.The prevailing land use is residential development interspersed with light commercial and retail
establishments with small wooded areas between neighborhoods.
4b.Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project(including all prior phases)in the past?*
C Yes G No C Unknown
4f.List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.70
4g.List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
300
4h.Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*

U-6223 proposes to construct a new-location roadway connection between US 70 Business where it intersects with NC 42 east and Little Creek Church Road and to realign the
intersection of Little Creek Church Road and Ranch Road.These actions will provide a network connection that will allow direct access to US 70 Bypass from NC 42,improving the
existing condition which requires travel on US 70 Business near the center of Clayton.Ranch Road interchanges with US 70 Bypass approximately 1.5 miles south of the project
location.It is anticipated that Ranch Road,and the new connector built with U-6223,will be re-shielded to be NC 42.
4i.Describe the overall project in detail,including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
U-6223 proposes to construct a new-location roadway connection between US 70 Business where it intersects with NC 42 east and Little Creek Church Road,and to realign the
intersection of Little Creek Church Road and Ranch Road.
Standard earth moving and roadbuilding equipment including bulldozers,excavators,rollers,pans,motor graders,and dump trucks will be utilized to clear the corridor.
Erosion control measures will be placed as specified on an approved Sediment and Erosion Control Plan.The roadway will be cut/filled to achieve the desired elevations and conformity
with current NCDOT Standards and Specifications.Unsuitable material will be removed and disposed of in an approved facility and suitable material will be brought in as needed.
An appropriately designed structure will be placed to ensure the continued flow of a jurisdictional stream that is within the project limits.
