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:*
NCDOT minimized the roadway width by narrowing the shoulders and bridge width to the minimal amount allowable with the design speed and roadway
geometry.There are no deck drains located on the bridge.The existing bridge demolition will follow NCDOT BMP's for bridge demolition work.Erosion
and Sediment control plans have been designed and will be followed to retain any runoff from construction activities.An offsite detour is being utilized to
eliminate any additional wetland and surface water impacts.
1 b.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Utilizing BMPs for bridge demolition will capture all components of the old structure.Erosion and Control measures will be placed along the entire project
area to reduce soil runoff.A turbidity curtain can be utilized along the banks to capture any siltation that may occur during project construction.The
utilization of precast concrete materials,reduces the potential for uncured concrete entering the adjacent waters.
2.Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S.or Waters of the State
2a.Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S.or Waters of the State?
Yes No
2b.If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation,explain why:
Impacts are below thresholds for mitigation.
NC Stream Temperature Classification Maps can be found under the Mitigation Concepts tab on the Wilmington District's RIBITS website.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
***Recent changes to the stormwater rules have required updates to this section.'**
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a.Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
For a list of options to meet the diffuse flow requirements,click here.
If no,explain why:
NC Riparian Buffer Rules do not apply to the Chowan River Basin.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a.Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?
Yes No
Comments:
NCDOT will follow best management practices for soil and erosion control in compliance with N.C.Sediment and Pollution Control Act and NCDOT NPDES permit.Erosion control devices
will be installed and maintained during the project.A grated drop inlet on the SW side will route storm water to vegetated buffers prior to entering surface waters.No deck drains will be
located over surface waters.
