of permanent impacts to buffer zone 2 of stream S1 will result from the proposed construction of the sidewalk path and shoulder. Additionally, a total of
439 square feet of temporary impacts to buffer zone 1 and 246 square feet of temporary impacts to buffer zone 2 will result from the construction access
necessary to install the proposed culvert and associated rip -rap, as well as construction of the sidewalk.
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:
mpacts to streams 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 tighted to a 2:1 ratio,
and the alignment was located to minimize stream and riparian buffer impacts to the greatest extent practicable. Rip rap stabilization at the proposed
culvert outlet has been sized to dissipate erosive flow through the pipe and prevent channelization of the stream. Stream and riparian buffers impacts
are proposed only along the southern side of West Chatham Street. All wetland impacts have been avoided as part of the proposed project.
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) resulting from the proposed project, compensatory stream 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's 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
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?
Yes No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
Yes No
2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater program?

As of November 29, 2023, the USFWS IPaC lists seven 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 perennial stream identified within the project study area is an upper order,
narrow channel which has recently been impacted as a result of culvert replacement and rip rap stabilization within and downstream of the project area.
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 21
river miles downstream from the project study area in Swift 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 perennial stream identified within the project study area is an upper order, narrow
channel which has recently been impacted as a result of culvert replacement and rip rap stabilization within and downstream of the project area. 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 31 river miles
downstream from the project study area in Swift 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 perennial stream identified within the project study area is an upper order, narrow
channel which has recently been impacted as a result of culvert replacement and rip rap stabilization within and downstream of the project area. 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 15 river miles downstream
from the project study area in Swift 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 perennial stream identified within the project study area is an upper order, narrow
channel which has recently been impacted as a result of culvert replacement and rip rap stabilization within and downstream of the project area. 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 15 river miles
downstream from the project study area where Lake Benson meets Swift 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 dwarf wedgemussel.
Yellow lance — Suitable habitat for the yellow lance 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 perennial stream identified within the project study area is an upper order, narrow channel which
has recently been impacted as a result of culvert replacement and rip rap stabilization within and downstream of the project area. A review of the
NCNHP database records (updated October 2023) indicates that there are no known yellow lance occurrences in or within 1.0 mile of the project study
area. According to the NCNHP records, the nearest known population of yellow lance is located approximately 17 river miles downstream from the
project study area in Swift 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 yellow lance.
Michaux's sumac — Suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac is present along the maintained roadsides and utilities easements within the project study area.
These areas are maintained, but infrequently enough to provide habitat for woody shrubs and undergrowth. 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. Kimley-Horn
biologists conducted pedestrian surveys for Michaux's sumac within areas of suitable habitat on May 16, 2023, and no individuals were observed. Due to
the lack of known occurrences and the lack of observed individuals, 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 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?'r
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 and did not identify any
historic resources in or within 1.0-mile 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 right-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 3720075300K (effective July 19, 2022) was accessed on November 29, 2023. No FEMA-
regulated floodways of Special Floodway Hazard Areas are present within the project study area.
