143 square feet of temporary impacts to buffer zone 1 and 168 square feet of temporary impacts to buffer zone 2 will result from the construction access
necessary to install the proposed culvert, as well as construction of the sidewalk.
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:
Impacts to streams, wetlands, and protected riparian buffers have been avoided and minimized to the greatest extent practicable through intentional
design of the alignment. The proposed sidewalk alignment was designed largely within the existing transportation facility, fill slopes have been tightened
to a 2:1 ratio, and the alignment was located to minimize stream and riparian buffer impacts to the greatest extent practicable. The project will be
installing an appropriately sized culvert to maintain flow and jurisdictional connection downstream. Stream and riparian buffers impacts are proposed
only along the western side of Jenks Carpenter Road. Fill slopes were tightened to reduce wetland impacts to the extent practicable.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Impacts to streams and protected riparian buffers within the corridor will be minimized to the extent practicable throughout the construction process by
avoiding these features with equipment, materials, and access corridors where possible. Where feasible, staging and construction access routes will be
located in upland areas throughout the corridor. Silt fencing will be installed around the limits of disturbance to help ensure that all construction
equipment will remain within the project area throughout the construction process. Temporary sediment control measures will be used to reduce
stormwater impacts to receiving waters and minimize runoff from the construction sites. During the construction process, streams will be diverted by
means of stream diversion operation or pump -around operation sized by ordinary daily flow to allow for work in the dry.
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:
Due to the minimal permanent stream impacts (<0.02 acre) and wetland impacts (<0.10 acre) resulting from the proposed project, compensatory stream and wetland mitigation has not
been proposed.
Compensatory mitigation is not proposed for impacts to the Neuse River Basin riparian buffers as a result of this project. According to NCDWR's Neuse River Basin Table of Uses, the
buffer impacts resulting from sidewalks that are "equal to or less than 10 feet wide with two -foot wide shoulders... and located outside Zone 1 unless there is no practical alternative' are
considered "allowable upon authorization'. Therefore, no compensatory buffer mitigation is proposed as part of this application.
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
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

As of November 29, 2023, the USFWS IPaC lists six federally protected species with potential to occur within the vicinity of the site. IPaC also lists the
tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus), a proposed endangered species, with potential to occur within the project vicinity. Additionally, the bald eagle
(Haliaeetus leucocephalus), which is protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA), is known to occur within the project vicinity.
Kimley-Horn reviewed the NCNHP element occurrence database (updated October 2023) to determine if there are any known occurrences of federally
listed species in the project study area or project vicinity. The NCNHP database records indicate no known occurrences of any federally protected
species in or within 1.0 mile of the project study area.
Red -cockaded woodpecker— Suitable habitat for the red -cockaded woodpecker (RCW) is not present within the project study area due to the lack of
mature pine trees with open understories. A review of the NCNHP database records (updated October 2023) indicates that there are no known RCW
occurrences in or within 1.0 mile of the project study area. Due to the lack of suitable habitat and the lack of known occurrences, it has been determined
that the proposed project will have "No Effect" on RCW.
Neuse River waterdog — Suitable habitat for the Neuse River waterdog is not present due to the lack of well -oxygenated, medium-sized, perennial
streams with continuous flow within the project study area. The short reach of intermittent stream identified within the project study area was found to be
impacted by sediment from erosion and debris was observed inhibiting flow throughout the reach. A review of the NCNHP database records (updated
October 2023) indicates that there are no known Neuse River waterdog occurrences in or within 1.0 mile of the project study area. According to the
NCNHP records, the nearest known population of Neuse River waterdog is located approximately 9.5 river miles downstream from the project study area
in Crabtree Creek. Due to the lack of suitable habitat, the lack of known occurrences, and the distance from the nearest known population, it has been
determined that the proposed project will have "No Effect' on the Neuse River waterdog.
Carolina madtom — Suitable habitat for the Carolina madtom is not present due to the lack of well -oxygenated, medium-sized, perennial streams with
continuous flow within the project study area. The short reach of intermittent stream identified within the project study area was found to be impacted by
sediment from erosion and debris was observed inhibiting flow throughout the reach. A review of the NCNHP database records (updated October 2023)
indicates that there are no known Carolina madtom occurrences in or within 1.0 mile of the project study area. According to the NCNHP records, the
nearest known population of Carolina madtom is located approximately 20 river miles downstream from the project study area in Crabtree Creek. Due to
the lack of suitable habitat, the lack of known occurrences, and the distance from the nearest known population, it has been determined that the
proposed project will have "No Effect" on the Carolina madtom.
Atlantic pigtoe — Suitable habitat for the Atlantic pigtoe is not present due to the lack of well -oxygenated, medium-sized, perennial streams with
continuous flow within the project study area. The short reach of intermittent stream identified within the project study area was found to be impacted by
sediment from erosion and debris was observed inhibiting flow throughout the reach. A review of the NCNHP database records (updated October 2023)
indicates that there are no known Atlantic pigtoe occurrences in or within 1.0 mile of the project study area. According to the NCNHP records, the
nearest known population of Atlantic pigtoe is located approximately 8 river miles downstream from the project study area in Crabtree Creek. Due to the
lack of suitable habitat, the lack of known occurrences, and the distance from the nearest known population, it has been determined that the proposed
project will have "No Effect' on the Atlantic pigtoe.
Dwarf wedgemussel — Suitable habitat for the dwarf wedgemussel is not present due to the lack of well -oxygenated, medium-sized, perennial streams
with continuous flow within the project study area. The short reach of intermittent stream identified within the project study area was found to be
impacted by sediment from erosion and debris was observed inhibiting flow throughout the reach. A review of the NCNHP database records (updated
October 2023) indicates that there are no known dwarf wedgemussel occurrences in or within 1.0 mile of the project study area. According to the
NCNHP records, the nearest known population of dwarf wedgemussel is located approximately 22 river miles downstream from the project study area in
the Neuse River. Due to the lack of suitable habitat, the lack of known occurrences, and the distance from the nearest known population, it has been
determined that the proposed project will have "No Effect' on the dwarf wedgemussel.
Michaux's sumac — Suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac is not present within the project study area. Kimley-Horn biologists conducted habitat
assessments for Michaux's sumac within the project study area and determined that the vegetated portions of the project area are too frequently
maintained or too shaded and overgrown to provide suitable habitat. A review of the NCNHP database records (updated October 2023) indicates that
there are no known Michaux's sumac occurrences in or within 1.0 mile of the project study area. Due to the lack of suitable habitat and the lack of known
occurrences, it has been determined that the proposed project will have "No Effect' on Michaux's sumac.
Bald eagle — A desktop-GIS assessment of the project study area, as well as the area within a 1.13-mile radius (1.0 mile plus 660 feet) of the project
study area, was performed in November 2022 using 2021 color aerials. Multiple water bodies large enough or sufficiently open to be considered
potential feeding sources for the bald eagle were identified. Foraging habitat is present within the vicinity of the project study area; therefore, a
pedestrian survey of the project study area and the area within 660 feet of the project study area was conducted on December 1, 2022. No bald eagle
nests or individuals were observed. A review of the NCNHP database records (updated October 2023) indicates that there are no known bald eagle
occurrences in or within 1.0 mile of the project study area. Due to the lack of known occurrences, the lack of observed individuals and nests, and the
minimal impact anticipated to result from the construction of the project, it has been determined that the proposed project will not affect the bald eagle.
Tricolored bat - On September 14, 2022, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced a proposal to list the tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus - PESU)
as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. The USFWS has not provided an official effective listing date, but it is anticipated to occur in the
second half of 2023. A review of the NCNHP database records (updated October 2023) indicates that there are no known occurrences of the tricolored
bat in or within 1.0 mile of the project corridor. If listed, the applicant will coordinate with the USFWS to resolve Section 7 considerations for the tricolored
bat, as appropriate.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat? *
Yes No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat? *
The NOAA Essential Fish Habitat Mapper was reviewed on November 29, 2023. No essential fish habitat was found within the project study area or
within the project vicinity.
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation status? "
Yes
No
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources? *
A review of the State Historic Preservation Office (NCSHPO) HPOWEB GIS Service database, performed on November 29, 2023, did not identify any
historic resources within the project study area, and no National Register sites are located within 1.0 mile of the project study area; however, six
Determined Eligible, or Study List historic resources are located within 1.0-mile of the project study area:
- Horton -Upchurch Farm (Study List, Determined Eligible) — located approximately 0.24 miles north of the project study area
G. H. Baucom House (Study List, Determined Eligible) — located approximately 0.44 miles west of the project study area
-George Upchurch House (Original site) (Study List, Determined Eligible) — located approximately 0.23 miles southeast of the project study area
- R. Merrimon Upchurch House (Original site) (Study List) - located approximately 0.14 miles south of the project study area
- Bailey -Holt House (Gone) (Study List) - located approximately 0.61 miles southeast of the project study area
- James A. Edwards Farm (Determined Eligible) - located approximately 1 mile northeast of the project study area
Fourteen historical resources currently listed as "Survey Only" and "Survey Only, Gone" were found in or within 1.0-mile of the project study area. Due to
the listing status of'Survey Only', these resources do not currently receive protection under the National Historic Preservation Act. If the listing status
changes to NR, SL, or DOE prior to construction, the potential for impacts to these resources may need to be re-evaluated; however, due to the distance
from the Site and the existing uses within the vicinity of the Site, it is assumed that the proposed project will have no effect on these 'Survey Only'
resources.
Due to the minimal visual and ground disturbing impact resulting from the proposed sidewalk, as well as the existing roadway wight-of-way throughout
the corridor, it is anticipated that the proposed project will have no effect on any archaeological resources within the project study area or project vicinity.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain?"
Yes
No
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?"
The FEMA Digital Flood Insurance Map (DFIRM) Panel 3720074400K (effective July 19, 2022) was accessed on November 29, 2023. No FEMA-
regulated floodways of Special Floddway Hazard Areas are present within the project study area.
