21. Comments:
A temporary work bridge (conceptual footprint shown on sheet 4) is proposed for removal of the existing bridge and construction of the proposed bridge.
The impacts shown due to temporary fill in wetlands are for the anticipated temporary fill to build access roads on each side of the river from ends of
temporary work bridge out along embankments and then up 20' high embankments.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The bridge will be replaced along its existing alignment, and traffic detoured onto the southbound bridge. 2.5:1 is the steepest allowable traditional grass
lined fill slope for this project. Rock Plating is being used in this area to allow for a steeper than 2.5:1 slope as this is necessary to avoid filling in a
portion of the greenway.
It was estimated that a 2.5:1 is achievable at 23+75 so that is where rock plating will begin, 1.5:1 is needed at 25+00.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds will be adhered to.
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:
All wetland impacts are temporary, and buffer impacts are allowable.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No

What type of SCM are you providing?
Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
Other SCM that removes minimum 30% nitrogen
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250? *
Yes No
Comments:
G. Supplementary Information
