1. Avoidance and Minimization
49. Total permanent open water impacts:
0.30
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The jurisdictional ditches extends into the center of the site and could not be avoided while still maintaining an economically viable project.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:

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 to jurisdictional manmade ditches with low habitat and water quality benefit.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
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
If no, explain why:
Site is located within the Neuse River Basin, but no streams exist on or near the site.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?

Yes No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
The NC Natural Heritage Program database was reviewed to determine if any rare species are known to occur on or near the site. According to their
files, no federally listed species are known to occur on the site. The federally listed Neuse River Waterdog and its critical habitat is located approximately
one mile west of the site, in Contentnea Creek. The USFWS IPaC database was also reviewed and several species were identified as potentially
occurring in the region. Many of these species are aquatic and would not be found on site. The ditches to be filled appear to flow north and west to a UT
of Contentnea Creek, which crosses two roads before entering the river. Stormwater and erosion control permits will be obtained to limit impacts to
downstream waters. The entire site consists of fields and does not appear to provide appropriate winter and summer roosting habitat for the northern
long-eared bat or tri-colored bat. DRG prepared a determination key for the NLEB, which resulted in a NLAA determination. No impacts to federally listed
species are anticipated from this project.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)

No cultural or historical resources were noted within or adjacent to the site.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain?
